Chapter 438: Chapter 437: Rubble’s Apology
“You don’t need to feel like you have , you do, you know?”
“Understood,” Fu Yunhe obediently lowered his head and said, “I feel like I don’t.”
“Really don’t?”
Nian Shutong, to be cautious, asked once more.
That one sentence had Fu Yunhe all confused again.
He carefully lifted his head, and as he did so, he uncertainly asked, “Should really not have, I guess…”
The mont Fu Yunhe looked up, he t the angry, wide-eyed stare of Nian Shutong.
“No! Really don’t!”
Fu Yunhe dared not guess wildly anymore; it was better to just tell the truth.
“Hmph! Better not!”
Nian Shutong glared fiercely at Fu Yunhe, as if to say if there were any, he deserved it!
She sat herself in the pilot’s seat of the Shadowless and began to fly it herself, heading back to the small wooden house.
Fu Yunhe waited three seconds, then silently took the co-pilot’s seat, grinning foolishly at Nian Shutong.
“Stop smiling! It’s hideous.”
“How could that be? This face of mine is perfectly flawless from every angle, how could it be hideous?”
Fu Yunhe’s exaggerated expression made the previously stern-faced Nian Shutong’s expression soften a bit.
“Fu Yunhe, your skin is getting thicker, didn’t you say you disliked this face?”
Seeing Nian Shutong’s smile, Fu Yunhe felt relieved first; he liked it when she was happy.
“It’s not too bad, just didn’t accept it well at the beginning, but now I find it quite agreeable.”
“And…”
“What? Out with it!”
Nian Shutong urged the hesitating Fu Yunhe to continue.
Fu Yunhe remained silent, instead opening his Light Computer and found a long-sealed photo to show to Nian Shutong.
“Take a look at this.”
Nian Shutong glanced down at it.
“It looks a bit like the current you, but it’s not.”
Hearing Nian Shutong’s words, Fu Yunhe, with a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, said, “I knew you would recognize it.”
Nian Shutong swept her gaze over to him, and Fu Yunhe chuckled, “This was as a Commander.”
“Commander? You two look very similar,” Nian Shutong shook her head with amusent, “Never thought the forr Commander was such a looker too.”
“That’s not right, Ha Ha said you were a tough and rugged man, that doesn’t look anything like a rugged man.”
Fu Yunhe closed his Light Computer, leaned back in his seat, and began to explain the circumstances to Nian Shutong.
“The forr , I had attractive looks, and growing up on the trash star, I beca the target of so people’s coveting, so I hid in the rubble flying device and escaped the trash star.”
“Since then, not many have seen my true appearance.”
“In the military, I was always dirty, and I even grew out my hair and beard, thoroughly concealing my face.”
“Plus, with the physical training at the ti, I had a more robust build, so I didn’t look anything like I do now.”
“The only ti I showed my face was when I was promoted to Commander, and after that, I never showed it again.”
At this mont, Nian Shutong had stopped the Shadowless in mid-air, not in a hurry to go down to the small wooden house, but listening to Fu Yunhe speak.
She thoughtfully said, “Generally speaking, there’s a cause and effect to everything. The fact that you could be reborn in this body and still look so similar must have so connection.”
Fu Yunhe nodded; in his previous life, he was an orphan, and in this one, he still was one—perhaps there was so connection to his real past.
However, he didn’t care much about it; no matter what his past was, he was just Fu Yunhe.
“What about you?”
For the first ti, Fu Yunhe directly asked about Nian Shutong’s past life.
Nian Shutong comfortably leaned back in her chair, with both feet resting on the control panel.
“I, well… to put it briefly, got struck by lightning and zapped back to my own hotown.”
“Is that so?”
Nian Shutong said in confusion, Fu Yunhe sincerely believed it.
But one didn’t want to say more and the other didn’t want to ask more.
“Let’s go, back ho. I’ve been missing Mr. Fan’s cooking!”
“Right, back ho.”
Shadowless descended, landed, and the two of them got off Shadowless.
It was the afternoon when everyone was coming back ho, and they all saw Nian Shutong.
Instantly, the unease brought on by the recent abnormality vanished into a mirage.
Boss is back.
Boss is back, that ans everything will be okay.
Everyone felt a weight lift off their shoulders and, as usual, continued bustling about with their tasks.
Fu Yunhe noticed this distinctly. He watched as Shutong, who’d already gone to communicate with Master Fan, had only pride in his eyes.
He felt the sa way; as long as Nian Shutong was there, he felt reassured.
Fu Yunhe also headed towards the kitchen, where Master Fan was even happier. Pointing at his big pot, he said, “Boss, I made your favorite chicken and shrimp pot, and this tomato beef brisket, soybean pork trotters…”
Master Fan saw Nian Shutong return, and although Shutong went out again, he still prepared the Boss’s favorite dishes.
“It slls so good!” Nian Shutong was truly happy, seemingly on the verge of drooling, she said to Master Fan, “Thank you so much. And you know what, I only got to eat so instant noodles on the Insect Clan Battlefield.”
Despite enjoying the instant noodles at the ti, she now seed to find fault with them.
Master Fan played along, saying, “Oh, that won’t do!”
“Wait and see, Boss. I’ll cook you delicious dishes every day, and we’ll make up for lost ti.”
“Ah!”
“You went to the Insect Clan Battlefield?”
Nian Shutong was about to agree happily when Fu Yunhe chid in with his question.
“Yeah? What about it?”
Nian Shutong turned around with a chicken foot that Mr. Fan had given her, looking at Fu Yunhe with a questioning look. Was there a problem?
Fu Yunhe was taken aback by the question; he wanted to say it was too dangerous for her to go alone.
But realizing his argunt was severely lacking, he could only say, “Next ti take with you. I could be your guide.”
“Deal!”
Nian Shutong agreed readily, having a forr Commander as a guide would surely earn her a fortune in contribution points.
Fu Yunhe quietly left the kitchen, heading back to his room to change clothes.
Nian Shutong was in the kitchen by herself, getting treated to bits of food by Mr. Fan from ti to ti.
She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but the food seed especially delicious.
It wasn’t long before Rubble ca out from his workspace.
For the first ti, he hung his head low, his voice lacking its usual confidence and pride.
“Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble has co to apologize.”
Nian Shutong, who was in the middle of eating a piece of beef, hastily swallowed. It was a bit hot, but that was not important.
Rubble’s apology was more important!
In her lifeti, to hear Rubble say “I was wrong” was even more exhilarating than successfully overcoming her Tribulation.
“Cough cough—” Nian Shutong cleared her throat seriously and spoke, “Go on.”
Finally, Rubble lifted his head and stood up straight.
“Ms. Nian Shutong, although you don’t understand research, and cannot comprehend Rubble’s relentless pursuit of it, you have the right to be upset.”
“Rubble should not have hard his own body. Please forgive Rubble’s spirit of exploration in scientific research.”
Nian Shutong blinked and rubbed her ears.
Was this an apology?
