Chapter 1091: Chapter 1091: eting Sister Lingzhi

Space Departnt Experint Building.

Ji You had already contacted Xie Lingzhi’s number in advance, but couldn’t get through. Later, Ji You called a classmate in Xie Lingzhi’s lab and asked them to relay a ssage. Xie Lingzhi was busy at the ti and asked Ji You to wait for about 10 minutes. Ji You sat on the sofa in the Space Departnt’s lobby. On the coffee table in front of the sofa, there was a bouquet of fresh daisies, looking very refreshing and cute, with dew still on the flowers. Besides the flowers, there was bottled water and so synthetic drinks on the coffee table...

Ji You sat upright, neither drinking water nor beverages, because—all of these are charged items.

While waiting, Ji You leaned back against the sofa, slightly closing his eyes, letting his still tired spirit slowly recover.

minute.

minutes.

minutes.

...

A sound of footsteps gently approached. Ji You suddenly opened his eyes and saw Xie Lingzhi standing overhead, holding a blanket about to cover him. Ji You grinned and smiled at Xie Lingzhi, "Sister Lingzhi, you’re done?"

Xie Lingzhi’s hand holding the blanket stiffened slightly, then she tossed the blanket onto the sofa, pretending nothing happened, and with a stern face, said, "What do you want with ? Didn’t I tell you not to disturb

unless it’s important?"

Her tone was cold, her expression was cold, but the black shiny eyes revealed a warm glow.

Truly—

The ultimate tsundere!

Ji You reached into the Space Button and pulled out a red apple, handing it to Xie Lingzhi, smiling, "Sister Lingzhi, here!"

Xie Lingzhi: "..."

Ji You chuckled, "Sister Lingzhi, hurry up and try it. This big apple was picked less than three days ago. It’s really delicious."

"My experint is at a critical mont..." Xie Lingzhi said disdainfully, holding her arms, unwilling to take it.

Ji You said, "I just received the shipnt and specially brought one over for you to taste."

"Boring." Xie Lingzhi curled her lip and said, "If you have sothing to say, say it. If not, then leave, and don’t interrupt my experints. Don’t you know how busy I am? My research on spatial transition has made a breakthrough. It might be successful this ti."

When she said this, Xie Lingzhi’s eyes were shining brightly, with an obvious hint of excitent.

Apparently, the breakthrough in the experint gave her imnse encouragent and kept her spirit in a state of extre excitent. She really seed unwilling to waste even a millisecond.

"This is a big apple from the Beikena Mountains. Genuine, guaranteed." Ji You forcibly placed it in Xie Lingzhi’s hands, and took out another one for himself. He took a bite, crunch~

Crisp!

Sweet!

Refreshing and juicy, with a lingering aftertaste that was especially delicious. Seeing the eagerness in Sister Lingzhi’s eyes, Ji You deliberately chewed the apple slowly, squinting and smiling, "Once upon a ti, my wish was to eat apples freely! I didn’t expect it to co true so soon."

"Crunch~" Ji You took another bite and said delightfully, "I’m truly amazing! The most amazing in the Universe."

"..." Xie Lingzhi had just taken a bite of the apple and couldn’t chew it yet. Hearing this, she almost choked, and imdiately glared at Ji You, speechless, "Did you co here just to boast in front of ? Do you want

to beat you to death?"

"Cough cough..."

"Not really."

"Besides, I’m sure Sister Lingzhi wouldn’t have the heart to beat

to death, right?"

Ji You quickly stood up and patted Xie Lingzhi’s back, saying, "Sister Lingzhi, I received a ssage from Sister Lea. She said that she and Brother Qiong are currently safe, but it’s inconvenient to contact us."

Xie Lingzhi stopped holding the apple, she said, "Lea sent it personally?"

Ji You: "Yes, she only sent two lines."

Xie Lingzhi stopped eating and said, "Let

see."

Ji You quickly showed Sister Lea’s ssage to Xie Lingzhi. After reading it, Xie Lingzhi’s bright eyes dimd slightly, then she turned to Ji You and said, "I understand."

Clearly worried, yet she deliberately put on an indifferent front...

Truly—

Ji You didn’t even know how to comnt. After thinking about it, Ji You asked, "Sister Lingzhi, did Brother Qiong and Sister Lea send a ssage to you?"

Xie Lingzhi shook her head and said, "No. I’ve been blocking incoming ssages lately, so they probably couldn’t reach

and that’s why it ca to you."

Ji You said, "What mission did they take that requires so much ti? It’s been almost three months, and they still haven’t returned. Also, is the danger so great that they can’t even send more ssages?"

Xie Lingzhi’s eyes suddenly darkened and she said, "My brother just took on a cha repair mission. As far as I know, Lea only accepted an internship at a materials research institute. They shouldn’t have taken on any other missions." Both of them are currently average in terms of achievents and abilities, neither top nor at the bottom.

These two tasks are very ordinary.

Of course, Ji You knew about the tasks they took on, but the current situation seed sowhat abnormal. Ji You thought about it and said, "Both Brother Qiong and Sister Lea are on Tianqi Star. Did sothing happen to Tianqi Star?"

At the ti, to take care of each other, Xie Chuanqiong and Lea both chose tasks on the sa planet.

Ji You’s question stumped Xie Lingzhi. For the past few months, she had been holed up in the lab researching space transition topics. She had only gone out once, following her ntor’s main group. It lasted less than 10 days, collecting and surveying the wormhole closest to Lanyue Star, and then the group quickly returned to Lanyue Star.

Then.

Everyone moved back into the laboratory.

Xie Lingzhi frowned and started searching Star Network for news about Tianqi Star.

She scanned swiftly.

Similarly.

Ji You was also searching.

Quickly.

They both stopped and exchanged a glance. Xie Lingzhi frowned, "There’s no abnormal news about Tianqi Star." What concerned them the most was unusual activity by Star Beasts, pirate raids, planetary collisions...

But evidently, none of this happened.

Ji You said, "Since Sister Lea sent us a personal ssage indicating they’re safe, they must be indeed safe, so we shouldn’t worry."

Xie Lingzhi frowned deeply.

For a while.

Xie Lingzhi said, "You, don’t let my dad and Grandma Jenny know about this."

The two elders haven’t been able to contact the two of them during this ti, they’re surely anxious, but since the situation is unclear, it’s better to keep it a secret for now to avoid unnecessary worry.

Ji You nodded and said, "I understand."

Xie Lingzhi’s brows were still tightly knitted. She asked, "Did you send gifts to my dad and Grandma Jenny again?"

Ji You said, "Yes, I did."

Xie Lingzhi: "Oh—keep a tight rein on your spending, there’s no need to buy those things."
