Chapter 218 Adaptation
"When did you find out?"
Caleb Ryan confessed, "I studied lip reading for a while."
In other words, someone had clearly "heard" Bing Lulu and Hai Rouer's lewd conversation when they ran into each other at Nig's Restaurant?!
Tang Jia awkwardly grasped his toes, silently closed his eyes, and imitated an ostrich.
The little girl's cute appearance caused Caleb Ryan to chuckle.
“Actually, I’m quite looking forward to it!
Unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, all I got was a little cat crying its heart out.
Or is this your plan?"
Tang Jia was teased so hard that he almost burst into tears.
"You know, only by seeing through things but not speaking them out loud can we be friends!"
Caleb Ryan leaned down to the little girl's ear and said softly, "But I don't want to be your friend, I just want to be your boyfriend. What should I do?"
The sudden words confused the little girl.
"Boy friend?"
The little girl's whisper reached Caleb Ryan's ears. He simply ignored the tone of voice and selectively listened to the key words he wanted to hear.
These three simple words instantly sound pleasant to the ear.
"Hey, girlfriend!"
This shameless act of forcing a status completely confused Tang Jia.
“You…you…you…”
"What's wrong with me? Girlfriend~"
A warm breath hit Tang Jia's ears, and someone's deliberately lowered voice echoed in Tang Jia's ears, with an indescribable ambiguity and lingering feeling.
"You did it on purpose!"
"If my girlfriend says so, then so be it!"
How can someone use the most doting tone and say the most confusing words?
"You're going too far!"
Caleb Ryan said nothing, only glancing at his clothes that were still wet.
The words of condemnation were on the tip of Tang Jia's tongue, but were turned away by this inconspicuous action.
"Would you like to put me down first?"
Caleb Ryan shook his head decisively.
"It's a rare opportunity for my girlfriend to throw herself at me, so I have to seize the opportunity."
God damn, throw yourself into my arms!
Tang Jia felt unwell!
"I'm not! I didn't!"
"If my girlfriend says no, then it's no! If she says no, then it's no!"
Tang Jia couldn't help it and was about to manually mute Caleb Ryan's microphone.
But as soon as the little hand reached out, someone kissed it.
The little girl immediately withdrew her hand as if she had been pricked by a needle.
That speed hurt Caleb Ryan a lot.
"You despise me!"
Caleb Ryan's voice was filled with endless grievance.
Tang Jia felt a surge of guilt.
After all, she was the one who made the bet, she was the one who said she wanted to pursue him, she was the one who "threw herself into his arms", and she was the one who wanted to retreat halfway.
The more Tang Jia thought about it, the more he felt like a bit of a "scumbag".
Facing Caleb Ryan's resentful eyes, Tang Jia laughed dryly while turning her little head.
Finally, he managed to utter dryly, "I... just... still feel a little uncomfortable!"
Now that he had already cheated his way into a position, Caleb Ryan naturally decided to quit while he was ahead. He put away his pitiful expression and followed the girl's lead, saying, "Then why don't you try to adapt?"
He found Tang Jia at the bottom of the stairs and immediately nodded rapidly.
The two people with "ulterior motives" had no intention of working at all.
Caleb Ryan suddenly had an idea and simply carried the little girl onto the starship and returned to the base.
Originally, Caleb Ryan was planning to take the little girl back home, but he had to give up reluctantly due to the little girl's strong protest!
Seeing Caleb Ryan's reluctant look and thinking about his words "Then you need to get used to it", Tang Jia suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He always felt that it was a bit abnormal for someone to agree too quickly.
Women’s sixth sense is strong.
When the words "Good morning, girlfriend" rang in Tang Jia's ears, he immediately understood that the adaptation period given by someone might, perhaps, only last for one night.
Tang Jia weakly replied, "Good morning!"
Caleb Ryan pulled Tang Jia onto the starship, held her in his arms, and asked softly, "What's wrong? You look listless?"
The skillful movements and intimate posture, as if they had been practiced thousands of times, made Tang Jia couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"Nothing, I just can't get used to it!"
Caleb Ryan tightened his grip around the little girl's waist and asked nervously, "Don't you like it?"
Tang Jia thought about it and shook his head.
"Just, not used to it!"
Caleb Ryan curled his lips and brought out his classic line: "Then just adapt to it and get used to it!"
Anyway, Caleb Ryan will never let go of the girlfriend he got with his own ability.
Who knows, will he let go?
Cherish every moment, okay?
After all, as a rising young army commander, you can't just fall in love and not work!
He still has to collect the crystal cores of three planets today!
Feeling particularly wronged, Caleb Ryan silently buried his head in the little girl's shoulder.
Tang Jia felt the weight on her shoulders and glanced at the arm around her waist. She felt that she was bearing a lot of things that she shouldn't have to bear at her age.
There are tens of thousands of men in the galaxy, why would she bother to mess with such a living ancestor!
Too clingy!
The starship finally arrived at its destination. Caleb Ryan reluctantly let go of the little girl and went down to work. Tang Jia silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Jia didn't mention a single word about her ability to communicate with mutant plants and make them hand over their crystal cores.
After all, life is precious, but love is more precious. If it is for freedom, both can be abandoned.
Concealment is nothing compared to freedom.
However, just watching others work is not Tang Jia's style.
She simply took out her energy stone stove, pots and pans, flour, water and seasonings, and started to make pancakes slowly and methodically.
Sure enough, the young commander couldn't resist the charm of the pancake, gave up his sweet talk, and started eating it with big mouthfuls.
Sure enough, the charm of delicious food is great.
But where does this inexplicable anger in my heart come from?
Tang Jia didn't understand.
Or maybe, someone just doesn't want to face it!
Looking at the awkward little girl, Caleb Ryan sighed silently in his heart.
After eating and drinking, and finishing your work, continue to coax!
You chose it yourself, so you have to accept it no matter how stubborn it is!
However, the harvesting speed must be accelerated.
In order to seize the time to coax his little girl, Caleb Ryan wished he had three heads and six arms. In just four hours, he got three baskets of crystal cores.
Caleb Ryan completed his work successfully and hurried back to the starship, sitting next to Tang Jia, but he had no intention of returning.
Facing the unmovable Caleb Ryan, Tang Jia couldn't help but speak.
"Aren't you going back to base?"
Caleb Ryan looked at the little girl and shook his head.
“My girlfriend is so close by, why should I rush back to base?
Is your girlfriend not attractive?
Or is dating not fun?"
Girlfriend: ...
No, what kind of nice person would date like this?
But how do people in the interstellar age date?
Tang Jia, who had been single for several lifetimes, quietly turned on his computer and started searching.
