Chapter 435: Chapter 435: An Unexpected Kiss
A few words.
That unwanted kiss from yesterday had simply been chalked up to the Manic-Depressive Period.
Sheng Le really wanted to say it wasn’t, but seeing the indifference in Sheng An’s eyes, he decided not to say anything in the end.
He was afraid that if he confessed his true feelings, his sister might just kick him off the spaceship...
"The exclusive medicine isn’t quite enough, I’ll go to the medical room on the spaceship to see if there’s any left."
"Go ahead."
Sheng An responded indifferently.
Once Sheng Le had left, the calmness at the bottom of her eyes shattered in an instant.
Actually, she knew that Sheng Le’s sudden kiss yesterday wasn’t because of the Manic-Depressive Period.
But, how could it be?
Although they weren’t related by blood, she had grown up with Sheng Le and always considered him just a brother!
Therefore, that unexpected kiss from last night could only be attributed to the Manic-Depressive Period...
Sheng An quickly adjusted her emotions, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Just then, Zhuo Yun came to find her, and she walked out with him.
On her way out, she brushed past Sheng Le, who was returning from the medical room.
Sheng Le: ...
**
The warriors of the Eighth Starship Fleet were assigned a new task: to conduct a safety check on several districts.
As it happened, Squad Nine was assigned to District Eleven, and after finishing the task, Su Wan took her companions to the Su Family restaurant.
The other people were all various shades of envious of Squad Nine’s members.
But there was nothing they could do.
After all, their squad leader happened to be the owner of the Su Family restaurant.
Other squads had sneakily approached Agros to request a transfer to Squad Nine.
Among them were even a few squad leaders.
Which left Agros speechless.
Sitting in the luxurious private room, the other team members were pigging out, and with the exception of Sheng An, who had taken a leave of absence, everyone was there.
Even Luo Jina had come.
But Su Wan noticed that Pandora seemed preoccupied.
Su Wan: "Pandora, what’s wrong?"
Pandora: "Xiaowan, may I take a leave for a bit? I want to go see Bai Qianqian, she... fell ill."
Su Wan nodded, "Alright."
Pandora let out a sigh of relief and said, "I heard about her illness a while ago, at first I thought it was shock from that time she was kidnapped. But it’s been a long time without her getting better."
Normally, Bai Qianqian would visit the Punei Family every few days.
But now, it had been over half a month since she last visited.
Pandora continued: "My family mentions her from time to time, worried something might have happened to her."
After all, Bai Qianqian had tried for three years.
Even though she hadn’t softened Agros’s stony heart, she had moved the other members of the Punei Family.
Even Pandora, who was always fighting and only obsessed with PK, was starting to worry about her.
If she couldn’t become a sister-in-law,
At least she had become a friend to Bai Qianqian.
Otherwise, Pandora wouldn’t have gone to see her off that day, knowing they had to deploy.
After thinking it over, Su Wan said, "There’s plenty of time, I’ll go with you to see her later. And while you’re there, ask her if she’s given up on your brother or not."
If she has, she should just give up.
If not... let’s help the young lady out.
"Yeah! Okay!"
After they finished eating, Su Wan had the squad members disperse on the spot.
She needed to first upload the mission report to the military department. While using her optical brain to have Vermilion Bird upload the mission report, she walked with Pandora to Bai Qianqian’s house.
The Eleventh District to the First District is quite far.
Bai Qianqian previously traveling frequently to the First District must have been quite strenuous.
The Bai Family, also an aristocratic family of the Mermaid Clan, lives in white-buildings within a yard that, aside from a huge swimming pool, is full of blooming flowers.
It has to be said, the Mermaid Clan loves beauty and cares a lot about the quality of life.
Their homes are always beautifully and comfortably decorated.
Upon seeing Su Wan and Pandora enter, the butler was very excited. As he ushered the two in, he turned back and used his photon brain to call the Bai family’s photon brain.
He excitedly said, "Lord Su Wan and Miss Punei have come to our house!"
The most important guest, of course, was Su Wan’s arrival.
Mr. Bai hurriedly gathered his entire family to come out and welcome them!
Seeing the line of fish, Su Wan quickly said, "No need for such fuss, I’m just here with Pandora to visit Bai Qianqian, hearing she was ill."
Mr. Bai said, "Qianqian is not seriously ill, still, it’s a bother for you to come. Please, come inside first, I’ll send someone to call her."
After all, Su Wan is a descendant of the queen.
And she is Commander Zhuo Yun’s wife.
Thus, she enjoys very high status among the merfolk.
Su Wan said, "There’s no need to make such a commotion, we can simply visit Bai Qianqian directly, where does she live?"
"I will take you there."
"Okay."
Su Wan and Pandora walked towards the inside, passing exquisite corridors and pretty rockeries.
They passed a bamboo grove, where the breeze caused bamboo leaves to hit each other, creating a rustling sound.
Faintly, one could also hear soft music mixed with the sound of splashing water.
The homes of the Mermaid Clan never lack swimming pools of all sizes.
Several little mermaids were frolicking in the water.
Su Wan thought of the cub in her belly.
In the future, after the baby was born, it would probably also joyfully swim back and forth in the pool.
Bai Qianqian, as the family’s beloved young girl, had the best room—on the second floor of a two-story Western-style building, with a small balcony full of roses.
It was quite romantic.
Mr. Bai knocked on the door and then pushed it open, saying, "Qianqian, Lord Su and Miss Punei have come to see you."
The huge princess bed had white gauze curtains falling around it.
In the center, the soft quilt had... poofed up into a bulge.
Upon hearing her father’s voice, that ’bulge’ suddenly moved.
Mr. Bai was somewhat embarrassed; after all, it was his daughter’s private room. He only stood at the door, not going inside, but he coughed a few times vigorously.
Su Wan’s lips slightly pursed as she said, "Mr. Bai, you don’t need to bother with us, we can just chat by ourselves."
Mr. Bai felt awkward, hastily saying, "Whatever you’d like to drink, just order the domestic robot."
"Okay."
Finally, Mr. Bai left the room in embarrassment.
In the one-bedroom suite, the domestic robot sat obediently in the corner.
Pandora walked over, a bit worried, "Bai Qianqian, what’s wrong with you?"
In this room, the only suspicious thing was the ’bulge’ in the middle.
That must be the owner, Bai Qianqian.
Bai Qianqian said, "Su Wan? Pandora? How come you’re here?"
As she spoke, the quilt didn’t move, so her voice sounded a bit muffled.
Su Wan said, "We heard you were sick, so we came to see how you are. What’s the matter, worried about infecting us?"
Pandora also said, "Aren’t you feeling suffocated?"
Bai Qianqian: ...
After several seconds, she finally said in a muffled voice, "It’s not that I’m worried about infecting you, I’m not really sick, it’s just... I haven’t put on makeup."
Pandora: "..."
