My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts Chapter 424 - 144: The Debate Between Sweet and Salty (Part

"Done eating." He Yuan said, sneaking a glance behind her. Seeing Mo Feng stride away, she breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her shoulders, her smile becoming more natural, "Xixi, this instructor feels really fierce."

Du Xixi was placing the box of dishes in the corner, thinking of taking them ho later, but when she heard He Yuan’s slightly fearful voice, she chuckled softly, "You haven’t seen his private side yet. If you had..."

Thinking of Mo Feng’s various absurd antics at the Ke Family, Du Xixi shook her head, picked up the teapot intending to pour two cups of tea, and continued, "If you had seen it, you wouldn’t have been scared even if he scolded you directly."

He Yuan puffed her cheeks, feeling that perhaps Du Xixi was familiar with Mo Feng, which is why she wasn’t intimidated by his aura. However, she didn’t plan to say much about Mo Feng and instead smiled as she took the cup of tea Du Xixi had poured, leaning against the table and sipping slowly.

"Let’s go, it’s about ti." Du Xixi and Mo Feng had a late lunch, and now Du Xixi and He Yuan were drinking tea together, noticing it was almost 1:10 PM. They set down their teacups and went to find Wenren Yu and the others.

Wenren Yu and the others seed to be waiting for Du Xixi and He Yuan, sitting on the chairs on the first floor in a daze. Seeing the two running down, Wenren Yu stood up and said first, "You two, take it slow, don’t fall."

The interstellar staircases are equipped with automatic danger sensors. If soone trips while walking on them, soft pads will quickly extend from the gaps to protect the fallen person. But there are exceptions — who knows if the pads will fail to extend in ti or if the person will be caught?

"Don’t worry! Steady as can be!" He Yuan walked ahead of Du Xixi, patting her chest confidently. But the next second, her foot slipped, and the staircase, which supposedly should have extended a cushion, did not react at all, leaving He Yuan heading straight for the ground.

"He Yuan!" Du Xixi, standing behind He Yuan, exclaid in surprise. She could naturally catch He Yuan, but just as she subconsciously reached out, He Yuan was already firmly held and standing securely on the stairs.

Looking up, the one who caught He Yuan was none other than the chanical Soldiers guarding Du Xixi. They were scattered, maintaining around Du Xixi, and the one who caught He Yuan was the closest to her.

"Your Highness, rescuing soone on the stairs is quite risky!" The chanical Soldier released He Yuan and gently placed her on the ground floor, while its head turned towards Du Xixi, displaying a very humanoid expression, "Leave the rescues to us."

Du Xixi: Please do not twist your body and head 180 degrees, thank you!

Everyone: ...

So, the reason it saved He Yuan was because Du Xixi rescuing soone might endanger her own safety?

"Ah, thank you, dear chanical Soldier!" He Yuan’s expression was dazed, clearly not having processed the ergency situation. It was Chen Si who stepped forward apprehensively, assisting He Yuan and thanking the chanical Soldier.

"Just doing my duty!" The chanical Soldier wasn’t bothered by Chen Si’s gratitude and after nodding, returned to its original position guarding Du Xixi. This deanor made everyone more suspicious of the reason behind its rescue.

The "duty" spoken by the chanical Soldier, is it a matter of brave deeds or protecting Du Xixi?

Everyone exchanged glances. Even Du Xixi felt that since the chanical Soldiers arrived, they seed increasingly inclined towards her. But regardless of what everyone thought, He Yuan had been saved by the chanical Soldier.

He Yuan, usually carefree and unrestrained in her actions, showed her detailed side only when cooking. Yet now, with her eyes reddened as Chen Si supported her, she seed more like a woman.

"Xixi, soday I absolutely must visit your ho to properly thank the dear chanical Soldier!" He Yuan finally ca to her senses after a while, uncharacteristically unembarrassed by Chen Si’s close support, and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, looking watery-eyed at Du Xixi and the chanical Soldier who had intervened.

When He Yuan slipped earlier, she was several steps away from the ground floor. If the chanical Soldier hadn’t acted, or if Du Xixi caught her but they both fell, they would certainly have sustained injuries, if not broken limbs.
