"Miss Qi."
The door opened, and the person who entered made Qi Yan's eyelids twitch. Was this good news? You're kidding me!
Suppressing the urge to beat Xiao Ya up, 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!
"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?"
Qi Yan didn't believe the idea of judging by his assets at all, but Carter Star might actually have assets owned by this pirate captain. If he were to cause her some trouble, it would be quite frustrating.
Therefore, when it comes to important matters, Qi Yan feels that she is quite flexible and adaptable.
"No, I've already fallen for you, Miss. How can I just leave you to fend for yourself? I can help you with anything you want to resolve."
"Does Mr. Si know what I'm going to do?"
"Carter Planet is famous for its medicinal plants. Miss has traveled all this way to find them. You can tell me what you want."
"Sounds good. So what's the price?" Qi Yan looked at Si Jue.
“Miss Xinyue, I would naturally like to have the opportunity to pursue you.”
Pursuit? The smile in Qi Yan's eyes gradually disappeared. "You're making me doubt your sincerity."
"I will prove that no one can love Miss more than I do. Not even that person."
"Then we'll wait and see. Take care, Mr. Si."
"Miss, please get some rest." The message to leave was clear, and Si Jue naturally wouldn't stay and become a nuisance.
The door closed, and Qi Yan picked up Xingyou from the bedside; the little guy was sleeping as much as ever. "Xiao Ya, is this the good news you were talking about?"
"Yes. The good news is that we found an acquaintance on the starship, the bad news is that Si Jue is in the room opposite yours."
Qi Yan didn't even bother with a "hehe" this time, only giving Xiao Ya a glare.
Something is very wrong!
Even if Carter is a planet known for its medicinal plants, what medicine can't you buy on the SkyNet these days? Unless it's an extremely rare variety. The fact that Qi Yan traveled across several star systems to Carter can only mean that what she needs is very important and precious.
Ke Sijue just agreed like that?
Isn't she afraid she'll bankrupt him? Or to put it another way, there's definitely something fishy about her exchanging such a medicinal herb for a chance to pursue him!
Was Si Jue really doing this just because of Xin Yue, as he claimed? Qi Yan, for one, didn't believe it.
"Yan Yan, we've found out. On the surface, the medicinal plants on Carter Star are controlled by the Shen family on the Imperial Capital Star, but in reality, they're all owned by the Merchant Alliance. And the Merchant Alliance—has some connection with the Jueji Pirate Gang."
I don't want to talk right now.
"Didn't we agree to his request? We'll leave the task of finding medicinal herbs to him. Anyway, we don't have to use our bodies."
Qi Yan: ...Can anyone tell her why a pirate captain could have so much power?
...
Forced to spend every day with Si Jue for the sake of a single medicinal herb, Qi Yan already felt incredibly aggrieved. But how could she have imagined that the starship would be hijacked?!
A group of civilians were locked up in the restaurant by the pirates. Qi Yan looked at Si Jue with disdain in her eyes, "I really didn't expect this. The leader of the most powerful pirate group has been kidnapped by pirates."
"Shouldn't you be concerned about yourself right now, Miss? After all, I still have some use to me, while you—" Si Jue reminded her without changing his expression.
"But once the value is used up, you still have to die, right? As long as I can make sure I leave the starship alive, that's enough."
"I feel it is necessary to remind you that if the starship is taken over by pirates, its destination may not necessarily be Carter."
"That seems so!" Qi Yan gritted her teeth, then quickly put on a smile. "Then what does Mr. Si think we should do?"
Si Jue watched her expression change, his longing and malice increasing proportionally. One moment she was gritting her teeth, the next she was so affectionate. She was truly better as she was alive and well; it would be even better if she could stay by his side…
Meanwhile, in her mind's eye, Qi Yan's voice was tense, "Xiao Ya, Xiao Ya, I felt like he was trying to kill me!"
"Impossible, right?" Xiao Ya was surprised. After all, this person would be a great help to Qi Yan in the future.
"Why not? I've only ever seen that look in the eyes of perverts."
Xiaoya suggested, "Then you should stay away from him?"
In the restaurant in the real world, the girl took Si Jue's arm, looking shy and charming, "Then you must protect Yan Yan well, sir."
Xiaoya: ……
Si Jue was also stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and ruffled Qi Yan's hair, "Don't worry. I will definitely not let anything happen to Yan Yan."
"Mm." Qi Yan nodded.
"Which one of you is Mr. Si? Please come out." A pirate's voice rang out.
The two exchanged a glance, and Si Jue pulled Qi Yan out from the corner, saying, "That's me."
"This way, sir. And who is this?" The pirate's gaze fell on Qi Yan, his tone somewhat ambiguous.
"It's my younger sister," Si Jue explained with a smile.
I've never heard of Si Jue having a younger sister!
The pirate was puzzled, but didn't mind. "Please wait here for a moment, Miss Si."
"Okay." Qi Yan released Si Jue's arm, behaving very obediently.
"I didn't expect Mr. Si to have such a well-behaved younger sister." The pirate said as he led Si Jue away.
