Just like the time Bai Ting came, they did not drive the spacecraft directly to Hope Star, but instead took a short rest on a nearby planet, waiting for the results of the contact with Hope Star.
You know, this immigration was originally intended to deter and suppress those people on Hope Star, so there was no discussion in advance.
Of course, in terms of hierarchy, the Earth government didn't need to discuss things beforehand. Hope, as a subordinate, simply had to obey orders. However, in practice, this wasn't always the case. At least none of the people coming this time were planning to just take it for granted and drive their spacecraft over.
Yang Jia was not at all anxious about this, and even wandered around the planet with great interest.
This is a resource star.
The Earth is already in a critical state, and its underground mineral deposits have naturally been largely depleted. Even if Earth remains intact, over time, humanity will soon face another predicament: resource scarcity.
Although various new energy sources have been developed and utilized, they have never been able to completely replace the role of traditional energy.
This is also a very painful experience for the human beings on Earth. Sustainable development is not just empty talk. If we cannot grasp the right degree, no matter how fertile the planet we find, we will sooner or later follow the same path as Earth.
Having learned this lesson, they have been overly conservative in their development of Hope Star, preferring to proceed slowly rather than allow irreversible consequences.
Even the vast majority of resources currently on Hope Star were obtained from several surrounding resource stars. Hope Star was more of a research project than a place for exploitation.
It was precisely because of this that, even in the last dangerous situation when the base was attacked by wild beasts, Earth did not send too many reinforcements, let alone resort to mass destruction. As a result, Li Bai's deliberate detonation of the spacecraft caused damage and impact on the ecological environment of Hope Star, the damage and impact of which cannot be fully assessed to this day.
If this happened under normal circumstances, Li Bai would definitely not be able to escape punishment.
However, the cause of this incident was originally Earth's misjudgment, believing that there was nothing on Planet Hope that could threaten humanity. Coupled with Earth's frequent incidents, they acted hastily, demanding a massive expansion of the Hope Base. Furthermore, Earth's reaction to the incidents also displeased Hope. Add to that the DIE virus vaccine issue, and the myriad issues compounded, making it difficult to handle the situation.
So much so that Li Bai is still in charge of the defense of Hope Star. Although it is temporary, it is probably difficult for Earth to decide when to send people and who to take over this task.
Being in such a position, Li Bai received the news early when the spaceship fleet approached.
During the previous meeting, not only the people on Hope, but also the military and officials stationed on the surrounding resource planets were very dissatisfied with this matter. After all, they had not received any prior information, and they were sent here directly, which clearly showed their wariness and distrust.
Li Bai didn't care about it.
Although she didn't know that Yang Jia had already reached an agreement with the Bai and Xuan families and had done a lot of things on Earth, the sudden arrival of the expedition team had already given her a clue that at least for now, Earth had no intention of moving against them. As for sending more people as a diversion, that was obvious.
So when no one else wanted to deal with this task, Li Bai, as the plenipotentiary representative, took a small spaceship to this resource star which currently only had a number but no name.
Yang Jia gave her full marks for her appearance.
Originally, the reason Bai Ting, Xuan Zijie, and even Zhuo Tianyang had come along was because they were unsure of Li Bai's status on Hope Star, so they wanted to come and see for themselves. And this appearance was at least enough to deter people.
So when she followed Bai Shu and saw Li Bai leading a team in military uniform, she couldn't help but blink at him.
Li Bai had thought that someone might be familiar with this trip, but seeing Yang Jia still made her feel a bit surprised. If Yang Jia hadn't been so relaxed, and it was obvious that this trip was her own intention, Li Bai would have suspected that something had happened on Earth.
Fortunately, there were too many people coming this time, and they couldn't control each other. It would take at least three to five days to discuss the next arrangements, so she had many opportunities to meet Yang Jia.
Sure enough, after a series of activities, Li Bai returned to the room and someone knocked on the door.
It was indeed Yang Jia who came, but he was followed by four little followers.
Li Bai had a lot of questions to ask her, but seeing this, he could only hold them back for the time being and listen to Yang Jia introduce these people to him one by one.
But this was just a pretense. Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie had known each other for years, needless to say. Du Qing was from the Nirvana Guild, and Li Bai was also very familiar with him. As for Zhuo Tianyang, although Li Bai didn't know him well, he had been through thick and thin with him, so naturally he wouldn't forget him.
In front of Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie, Yang Jia only introduced Zhuo Tianyang by name, without mentioning his background. In the eyes of the two, he, like Du Qing, was a representative of the Nirvana Guild who came to see Li Bai.
In front of Zhuo Tianyang, Yang Jia was reluctant to point out his cooperative relationship with Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie.
So the purpose of this trip was just to meet people and say hello. As for the rest, we can only wait and find an opportunity to meet in person later.
However, after sending the four away, Yang Jia stayed behind. Everyone knew she and Li Bai had a lot to talk about, so no one objected. Zhuo Tianyang, in particular, ran faster than anyone else. He was probably the only one of the four who knew about their relationship.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Yang Jia closed the door and turned around, only to be pushed against the door by Li Bai, who asked in a low voice.
Yang Jia smiled and looked at her for a moment, then tilted his head slightly and said with a smile, "Are you sure you want to discuss this with me first?"
When she asked this question, she felt a little uneasy.
After all, when they were recuperating on the moon, Li Bai had always behaved like a gentleman, rarely even holding hands, let alone getting intimate. While Li Bai's reason was to protect her health, Yang Jia felt that perhaps it was because he had suddenly changed his face, or even his body, that Li Bai was also feeling uncomfortable.
If they were given more time to spend together, perhaps they would gradually get used to it. But she and Li Bai were rarely together and apart for most of the time. They even separated before she could fully recover.
So she has always cooperated with Li Bai's "estrangement".
But cooperation is one thing, and it is impossible for Yang Jia to not have any thoughts in his mind.
So now, when they took the trouble to say goodbye, Li Bai came up with a "business as usual" attitude, and Yang Jia couldn't help but bring out a bit of that in his tone.
Li Bai did not answer immediately, but stared at her seriously.
Yang Jia was originally looking at her, but being looked at like that was something he couldn't bear. The smile on his face gradually faded, and after a moment he even looked away guiltily.
"You..." Li Bai raised one hand, gently stroked her cheek, and then kissed her.
"Hmm..." Yang Jia narrowed his eyes. Li Bai's face was magnified in his sight because of the closeness. He could only see her dark eyes, long and slightly curled eyelashes, and a touch of white skin under her eyes.
The next moment, Li Bai's hand blocked her view, and her vision fell into darkness.
Without vision, other senses became clearer: Li Bai's breath, Li Bai's warmth, Li Bai's... kiss.
The air seemed to heat up, and Yang Jia's tense body finally relaxed. He grabbed Li Bai's clothes at the waist with both hands, but just happened to touch the tightly drawn belt of the military uniform. His fingers slid back along the belt, finally meeting behind Li Bai's waist and then clasping it tightly.
Realizing Yang Jia's cooperation, Li Bai immediately deepened the kiss.
They were rarely together and hadn't seen each other for such a long time. How could she not miss Yang Jia?
Perhaps because they had known each other and fallen in love during a turbulent period, they had gradually become accustomed to that way of getting along, spending more time discussing business than being affectionate. So Li Bai acted businesslike, simply because he was afraid Yang Jia would find this closeness a bit abrupt.
But since there have been protests, she certainly won't have any concerns anymore.
Could changing her face have any effect on her? Yang Jia had really underestimated her. It seemed that Yang Jia didn't believe her when she said she could recognize people at a glance.
But that's the truth.
When Yang Jia opened her eyes and their eyes met, Li Bai knew it was her.
"Hmm..." It was not until Yang Jia felt she was almost out of breath and subconsciously changed her hug of Li Bai to pushing him away that Li Bai let her go.
But this did not mean the end, because her kiss moved down Yang Jia's cheek and soon landed on Yang Jia's sensitive neck, and moved back and forth in this area, occasionally holding a small piece of skin and sucking it gently, bringing a numb and painful feeling.
And... Yang Jia leaned against the door, and after he recovered from the kiss, he realized how ambiguous their current posture was.
Li Bai had already put one hand into her clothes and gently rubbed her waist, while the other hand was stroking her cheek, and one leg was placed between her legs, with a strong sense of aggression and suggestion.
Although he couldn't see it, Yang Jia could imagine what he looked like at the moment.
"You... let me go first." Although... this seemed to be the result of her own request, Yang Jia really couldn't adapt to it.
How could Li Bai change so quickly and naturally?
