Chapter 107 Guiding General Gu
“…”
"Okay, the recovery is pretty good. The plaster will be removed in two days. Remember to drink the Spiritual Sea Repair Fluid on time. Come back for a checkup in a week."
Wu Yu nodded obediently and turned his eyes to He Jing.
"Should I be checked too?"
"I don't think it's necessary, but the captain specifically emphasized it."
Pei Lin's tone was smiling as his hands worked skillfully.
He Jing opened his mouth but said nothing, and a rosy cloud crept up his ears.
"Alright, the head is fine, the spiritual sea has fully recovered. Be careful when using spiritual power in the future. Depleting spiritual power is very dangerous and can easily cause irreversible damage to the spiritual sea."
Pei Lin packed up her things and went out. He Jing looked at Wu Yu, who had a grim expression, and tried to comfort him.
"It's okay. Didn't Doctor Pei say that? You'll be able to recover in a week. There's definitely nothing wrong with you..."
"I'm sorry, Miss. It's because my level is too low and my ability is too poor that I overdrew your mental strength."
He Jing was helpless, "How can I blame you for this? It's my own fault for not controlling my mental power well."
Seeing Xiao Wu was about to open his mouth, He Jing quickly interrupted, "You should take good care of your injuries. Only when you recover can you protect me~"
"...Yes, miss."
When He Jing returned to Courtyard 1, Xu Bo was humming a song while preparing lunch. Seeing He Jing coming back, he happily introduced him:
"Miss, this is the fish we just brought in from Haixing this morning. How about making fish soup and steamed fish for lunch?"
"Okay!" He Jing smiled and watched from the side for a while, his eyes drifting towards the stairs from time to time.
"Are they still talking about work?"
"Master and Miss Si?"
"Yeah." He Jing raised his hand and touched his nose, feeling weird.
"Miss Si has been gone for a while, and the young master has returned to the military headquarters."
He Jing was stunned. Returning to the military headquarters?
Didn’t you say you were done?
You were busy all night yesterday, don’t you want to take a break today?
He Jing returned to the room and clicked on Gu Zheng’s call interface, feeling a little hesitant.
Do you want to call him?
Send a message?
Will it disturb his work?
Didn't Yang Ziang say he was done with his work? Why...
Was it because of her? Because of those pirates?
He Jing pursed his lips and stared at the screen with droopy eyes.
bite!
A new message pops up in the interface.
[Gu Zheng: What flavor do you want to eat?]
Next is a photo of a cake shop. The wide variety of cakes makes people’s appetites whet!
He Jing's lips curled up slightly and his fingertips tapped lightly.
[It’s Xiaohe: Strawberry flavorヽ(≧≦)]
[Gu Zheng: Okay, would you like some pudding?]
[It’s Xiaohe: Eat!]
After sending the message, He Jing curled up on the carpet and did his homework.
Suddenly his hands stopped and his nose moved.
She seemed to smell the sweet scent of cake!
He Jing ran to the door in two or three steps, opened it, and Gu Zheng appeared in front of him with a cake in his hand.
"You're back?!"
"Well, you can eat a little first." Gu Zheng shook the bag in his hand with a smile in his eyes.
The sun was shining outside, and the two of them sat down on the small balcony.
He Jing carefully picked up a piece of pudding.
Ah, swallow it in one gulp!
Then his eyes lit up!
Delicious! Smooth and tender! A light milky aroma lingers between your lips and tongue.
He Jing picked up a piece and handed it to Gu Zheng's lips, his eyes sparkling and bright, "It's delicious! Try it!"
Gu Zheng paused, then opened his mouth and bit it.
Their lips brushed lightly against each other's fingertips, a fleeting touch.
He Jing withdrew his hand quickly, his eyelashes fluttering in panic.
Did I touch Gu Zheng's lips just now...
You did encounter it, right?!
So soft, like the pudding I just ate...(*//▽//*)
Ahhhhh! What on earth is she thinking!!!
In a panic, a glass of water was handed to him. He Jing took it and drank it in a hurry!
“Ahem!”
He Jing's face flushed red and he choked to the point of fainting.
Gu Zheng held her shoulders with one hand and helped her calm down with the other.
"Alright...alright! I'm fine!"
He Jing waved her hands and wiped away the tears that had choked her.
Gu Zheng chuckled and returned to his seat.
"Have you visited Wu Yu and the others?"
He Jing's attention was instantly drawn back, "Well, is Xiao Wu's mental strength okay?"
"No, I'll be back in a week."
He Jing felt relieved when he heard that the other party said the same thing as Dr. Pei.
Fortunately, if something really went wrong, she would feel so guilty.
He Jing paused on the pudding and picked up the cut cake beside him.
"Xiao Wu is the orphan of a comrade-in-arms. I brought him back with the intention of letting him continue his studies and do what he wants to do."
"But he took a leave of absence from school and returned to the Gu family."
Xiao Wu's face appeared in front of He Jing's eyes. He looked very young. "How old is he this year?"
"23 years old."
No wonder, he looks like a student.
"The Gu family has many bodyguards, and he wasn't very good at first, but he worked very hard and caught up quickly."
He Jing suddenly remembered, "They said you trained Xiao Wu?"
"Yes, I have trained every bodyguard who has stepped onto the stage. He has a good understanding, so I feel safe letting him protect you."
Gu Zheng's tone was calm, and He Jing felt inexplicably guilty.
“But he didn’t do things thoroughly enough.”
"It's not his fault!" He Jing said hurriedly, "It's me! I didn't let him tell you..."
"I'm sorry, Gu Zheng, for making you worry..."
Gu Zheng looked at her silently, with no emotion in his eyes.
He Jing's heart seemed to be floating on the sea, up and down.
"sorry……"
"Don't say sorry." Gu Zheng interrupted, "You are an independent individual. I won't restrict your freedom, but I was really worried when I received the news."
"Xiao He, I hope you can understand my concerns, but don't blame yourself."
"Whether it's my worry or Wu Yu and the others getting hurt, it's not because of you."
He Jing was stunned, his throat rolling.
"I...if I hadn't sneaked in here, no one would have gotten hurt."
"Not really." Gu Zheng said, touching her head, "Those pirates, they confessed."
"Huh?" He Jing's eyes widened. What did that mean? Someone was instructing him?
"Avery Guan asked them to do it. Five million star coins."
"ah?!"
"So, even if you tell me you're coming, as long as you board the spaceship, there's still a high probability that you'll be surrounded and attacked by them."
"If you want Wu Yu to stop blaming himself, you should stop blaming yourself first."
"But……"
Gu Zheng interrupted, "No buts, or if you look into it more carefully, the reason why Avery Guan targeted you was entirely because of me, so I am the main person responsible for this matter."
"No! How can you be blamed for this? It's her..."
Gu Zheng's eyes softened, "Yes, it's her."
He Jing opened his mouth and felt convinced.
"Okay, let's go to the study. The new tablet should have the data transferred to it."
He Jing followed Gu Zheng blankly, walked out of the bedroom and came to the study.
The new tablet was handed over and He Jing reached out to take it.
"See if there's any missing information?"
He Jing lowered his head and clicked on them one by one, then shook his head obediently, "No."
Gu Zheng nodded and sat aside to handle his work.
He Jing suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes wide open with disbelief!
"Five million star coins?! Is this the price for all of us on this spaceship?!"
