Before the dance was even over, Qi Yan felt a figure pounce on her. She was pulled away by a man, and then she heard a certain chubby man's resentful voice, "Great God~~"
"That chubby boy?" Qi Yan was surprised. "Wasn't he dead?" A hint of doubt flashed through the girl's mind, then vanished just as quickly.
"You have sharp eyes. You found me so quickly." Qi Yan stopped what she was doing and looked Ruan Dong up and down.
Beside Qi Yan, the man looked at Ruan Dong with icy eyes.
"That's right!"
Ruan Dongcai would never admit that he used his privileges to search for Yan Qi's location!
However—"Master, you look familiar!"
Just familiar? Qi Yan was surprised, but seeing the boy's questioning eyes, she didn't think too much about it. It was better not to recognize him, as she didn't have to explain her complicated background—the real heiress of a certain family who had been mistakenly reported.
Even now, she can't understand how people could make such a basic mistake in the interstellar age. Genes cannot be faked.
"Is this Young Master Ruan?" The man's voice rang out at the opportune moment.
"Huh? You know me?"
Ruan Dong turned his head and saw an unfamiliar face, but the polite yet distant gaze and smile were unusual. "Are you Li Zhong?"
"It is I."
Noticing their hands linked together, Ruan Dong smiled and said, "Since you're a friend of the master, you can just call me by my name from now on."
"Respect is not as good as obedience."
Seeing his gentlemanly demeanor, Ruan Dong lost the desire to communicate with him.
Although the other person was one of the few in the circle who didn't mock or humiliate him, their polite distance was enough to keep everyone at arm's length.
And he trusted his intuition; this refined-looking man getting up was dangerous, very dangerous…
"Master, after the opening dance ends, shall we go outside the square to play? It's very lively there, and there are all kinds of snacks."
Eating is the most important thing, isn't it? Qi Yan thought to herself, then nodded happily; she loved food too…
"I'm going to play later."
"Um."
The man's gaze darkened slightly at Qi Yan's decision to leave him and go out with others, but he showed no displeasure. He had just frightened her; it was best not to further provoke her.
We still need to take it slow...
"Master, is it delicious?" the fat man asked with great interest.
Qi Yan nodded, looking at the snowball in her hand, and once again marveled at the diversity of food in the interstellar era. But it really tasted quite good.
A beauty is a beauty; even eating makes her look beautiful—this was Ruan Dong's inner monologue.
Compared to Qi Yan, who was still mindful of her image, Ruan Dong was much more casual, finishing the snowball in a few bites. "Great God, eat up, there's more..."
"Who?" Qi Yan suddenly frowned and looked coldly in the direction of the gaze.
Ruan Dong quickly looked around, but there were only other diners around. "Master, it seems like nobody's here?"
Qi Yan remained silent, staring intently at a certain spot, as if trying to identify someone with her gaze. Who could it be?
Ruan Dong touched his nose and followed her gaze to a certain place. He still believed in the power of the great god.
However, the screen rips open just as the answer is about to be revealed: "Attention passengers, the starship has entered light speed. Passengers are free to move around."
"Attention passengers, the starship has entered light speed. Passengers are free to move around."
"Passengers, please..."
—This is a starship, and it is clearly a civilian starship.
Qi Yan felt that this place was not right, as if she shouldn't be there, but she couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Only after the usual three consecutive broadcasts could he open the nutrient pod, crawl out of it, and exclaim, "Finally out!"
"So what if I kept you cooped up for three hours? Are you being dramatic?"
The assessment is complete; her AI's voice is always so irritating.
The strange feeling vanished quickly. Qi Yan complained about the AI for a moment before saying, "Try lying in there for three hours and not letting me sleep."
"Who told you to choose the economy room? I already told you that the business rooms starting with 1 are the most comfortable."
Qi Yan: "...Your friend refuses to communicate with you."
"Still refusing to communicate? Now I have good news and bad news. If you refuse again..."
"Master, a guest has arrived."
The AI's voice surprised Qi Yan. A guest? What kind of guest is this, so overly familiar?
"Yan Yan, open the door. There's a surprise waiting for you! It's the good news I wanted to tell you!" the AI said with a grin.
As an AI personally designed by the man named Li Zhong, it possessed emotions earlier than most current technologies, and its thinking was almost human-like.
Good news? After confirming that her appearance was in order, Qi Yan said, "Please come in."
"Miss Qi."
The door opened, and the person who entered made Qi Yan's eyelids twitch. Was this good news?
Suppressing the urge to beat up the AI, Qi Yan raised an eyebrow, her attitude less than friendly, "What are you doing here?"
"I heard there's a beautiful Miss Qi across the street, so I came to take a look." Si Jue smiled, his manners impeccable.
That's right, it's Si Jue! The refined gentleman who had encountered her five, six, seven, or eight times on a certain planet!
But she already has Li Zhong!
"opposite?"
“219, my room. It’s not difficult for me to find out where Miss is.” Si Jue smiled.
Qi Yan: "So, why are you following me?"
“I am delighted with Miss Xinyue. Besides, I have some businesses on Planet Carter, and it’s been so long, it’s time to go back and visit.”
"Then, sir, you'll look after your property, and I'll be busy with my own private matters. Can we leave each other alone?"
