"Bai Ze!" Su Chen cried out in a voice that she could hear herself. Her eyes widened in grief, and she collapsed to the ground.
"Su Chen!" Xing An called out to Su Chen through the device, but there was no response.
Xing An hesitated for a moment but still reported to Wu Yue, "Chief, she needs medical treatment."
Wu Yue hesitated for a moment before saying, "What if she was also involved in what happened back then..."
Xing An interrupted him, saying seriously, "If that's the case, I will bear all the consequences."
Wu Yue didn't speak again, and Xing An knew that he had agreed. Since that argument, the two of them hadn't spoken to each other. This was the first time she had heard his voice since then, but for some reason, Xing An felt a vague prickling sensation in her heart, a pain or an itch she couldn't quite describe.
Seeing Su Chen still lying on the ground, Xing An quickly shook off his inexplicable emotions and pulled Su Chen into the warship.
Three days later.
"I heard you're the little princess of Clover Star."
Can you turn into a plant?
"You can really summon asteroids?"
...
A group of boys surrounded Su Chen and kept asking her questions.
Admittedly, Su Chen was quite happy to wake up to a group of handsome young men staring at her with bright, clear eyes. But... there's a limit to enthusiasm! She's supposed to be a patient, so do these guys think that making a fuss over her will make her better?
Su Chen could only gesture for them to quiet down, then picked the most eye-catching one and asked, "Handsome young man, how many days have I been sleeping?"
"Three days."
Do you know what happened three days ago?
The young man shook his head. "We're all newly recruited, and we haven't been given any responsibilities yet. Nothing special happened three days ago, except that some of the senior officers who trained us were suddenly transferred away."
"Yes, yes, there are fewer people."
"Oh, that explains why I was able to eat simulated meat in the cafeteria the other day!"
...
Another burst of noise erupted, the chaotic sounds making Su Chen's head throb even more, and she felt like banging her head against the wall.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Su Chen thought that it was already merciful enough that she wasn't pulling out her dagger and slashing each of them.
"Alright, all of you go out and don't disturb their rest!" Xing An appeared at the door carrying food.
"commander!"
"commander!"
"Star Commander!"
...
A group of young boys immediately surrounded Xing'an, as if they were holding the moon.
Su Chen naturally saw Xing An as well, a hint of hostility flashing in her eyes before she quickly concealed it.
Xing'an chased the group of boys out of the house and asked with a smile, "Su Chen, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
Su Chen raised her face and smiled back, "It's alright, it's just that those handsome young men were making a lot of noise and giving me a headache."
"I won't let them bother you again. You should eat first." With that, Xing'an pulled out the small dining table from the bed and placed the plate on it.
Su Chen could tell at a glance that the so-called soup was just a nutrient solution, and the vegetables were imitation vegetables and imitation meat, with ingredients that were actually similar to those in the nutrient solution.
Xing'an then handed her a spoon and fork. "These are the only foods you can find here. I specially asked the chef to make some new, realistic-looking dishes. Try them and see if they suit your taste."
Su Chen took it, thanked her, and then lowered her head to eat.
"Su Chen, I remember you once told me that there's no need for thanks between us," Xing An said with some sadness.
Su Chen's eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything. She finished all the food in both bowls.
She looked up at Xing An and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Back then, I never imagined you would kill Bai Ze..."
