Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Do You Like Me?
Zhuo Yun, since coming to the Empire Star two years ago, had never left. He stayed here, on the one hand, to prove the friendship between the two planets.
No matter what tricks the Universe Alliance played, the people from Yuanyi Planet would not get involved, because when Yuanyi had faced great trouble in the past, it was the Empire Planet that had extended a helping hand.
But now Zhuo Yun was no longer in Squad Nine. Since Su Wan returned that year, he had been transferred to another squad.
As soon as he finished work, Zhuo Yun would punctually show up to pick up Sheng An. Luo Jina watched the white wings at the door and teased, "Xiao’an, hurry up, your boyfriend is here to pick you up."
Sheng An, feeling helpless, "He’s not my boyfriend."
"I understand, I understand, no need to explain."
"..."
On this side, Zhuo Yun also greeted Su Wan, who said, "Taking Xiao’an to someplace nice to eat?"
Zhuo Yun flashed a grin, "Of course, we’re going to the Su Family Restaurant."
"Ah, you’ve got good taste."
Zhuo Yun and Sheng An walked out shoulder to shoulder, and on the glass walls they passed, their elongated shadows trailed behind.
Zhuo Yun suddenly leaned in, startling Sheng An. He said, "What, you seem troubled today?"
Sheng An: "Let’s talk about it at the restaurant."
"Alright."
Zhuo Yun didn’t press further, which was exactly what made interacting with Sheng An so comfortable.
Once the two arrived at the restaurant’s private room and ordered their dishes, Sheng An took the initiative to say, "Because it’s time for the Probationary Commander assessment, I’ve also registered."
"I’m aware of this, and it’s a good thing. It’s a pity I’m not from the Empire Planet; otherwise, I’d also sign up and give it a try."
"It’s just..." Sheng An remembered what Xiaowan had said that day and sighed, "Xiaowan will definitely pass, and I’ll try hard to do the same, but by then, we’ll no longer be comrades."
Zhuo Yun had just filled a bowl of water for Sheng An, and he suddenly realized, "Oh, is this the reason you seem a bit down? You really shouldn’t worry about it. If both you and Su Wan become Probationary Commanders, then you’ll still be comrades-in-arms. Just look at Commander Li Rui and Commander Eric. These two have been friends since their student days, and even after becoming Commanders, they’re still good friends. They might bicker all the time, but their relationship is genuinely close."
Zhuo Yun was a lively character, able to make friends with Gu Jue, which said a lot about his strong social skills.
He was absolutely a social butterfly.
He began chattering away to Sheng An about the various ’loves and hates’ between Commanders Li Rui and Eric.
"These two are quite strange. One has a never-ending string of girlfriends, while the other never seeks one. Oh, I’ve also heard that the Mermaid Clan’s beautiful physician is quite fond of Li Rui, but even after many years of pursuit, she hasn’t succeeded."
Actually, Zhuo Yun could be a bit of a chatterbox. Even Gu Jue had grown tired of his babble and had bluntly sent him packing.
But Sheng An quite enjoyed listening to him talk, especially when he got excited, his wings flapping open and closed with joy.
"So, Xiao’an, even if you end up on different fleets executing missions, your friendship with Su Wan definitely won’t be affected!"
At this moment, the worry that had been etched on Sheng An’s face vanished, and she smiled lightly, nodding, "Yeah."
"You’re finally smiling."
At this moment, Zhuo Yun’s smile was even brighter than Sheng An’s, as if her smile had brought him immense joy.
Sheng An was taken aback.
In fact, she knew that Zhuo Yun liked her, but for the past two years, he had stayed by her side as a friend, neither confessing his feelings nor pursuing anyone else.
Sheng An knew she was somewhat indifferent in nature, but she also rationally knew that treating Zhuo Yun like this all the time was not quite fair.
Just as she was about to speak, a sudden noise came from outside the private room. Faintly, Sheng An thought she heard Xiaole’s voice and immediately said, "I’ll go out and take a look first."
"I’ll come with you."
The two of them walked out quickly and saw that two groups of people who were dining in the lobby had started an argument.
More specifically, a mermaid girl had taken a liking to Sheng Le and wanted to marry him, but after being rejected by Sheng Le, she was very angry.
The young girl was very pretty, with crystal-clear fin-like ears, and she said with her chin held high, "Sheng Le, what exactly is wrong with me that you don’t like me?"
Sheng Le was somewhat speechless. "Just because you’re nice doesn’t mean I have to like you, right? Besides, this is the Su Family restaurant; are you trying to make a scene here?"
"I’m not afraid! The owner, Su Wan, is my relative! Don’t try to change the subject. Just tell me straight, what do I have to do for you to agree to marry me?"
Sheng Le: "..."
This fish isn’t crazy, is she?
They were about to graduate this year, and after this young girl fell in love with Sheng Le at first sight, she had been chasing him for more than two years. With graduation approaching and the uncertainty of whether they would meet again in the future, the young girl had become desperate.
By looking at the color of her fin-like ears, this young girl should be from the Lan Family.
Just then, Sheng Le looked up and saw Sheng An and Zhuo Yun standing not far away, and his expression instantly grew more annoyed.
Sheng An sighed, feeling that the matters among the three of them could not be dragged on any longer.
She stepped forward, walked through the crowd, and approached Sheng Le and the mermaid.
Wearing the Royal Star Fleet’s military uniform, Sheng An immediately drew attention, and the crowd around opened up a path. The young girl recognized Sheng An; after all, this was Sheng Le’s sister.
She happily said, "Hello, I know you, you’re Sheng Le’s sister, right?"
Sheng An: "Yes, hello. Xiaole doesn’t like you, and by doing this, you’re only pushing him further away, and you’re also embarrassing him in public. If you truly like him, you wouldn’t put him in such an awkward situation right now."
The little mermaid frowned, obviously wanting to retort, but after glancing at Sheng Le’s darkened face, she eventually bit the corner of her mouth and left with her classmates and friends.
Then Sheng An turned to Sheng Le, "Xiaole, once you’re done here, come to my private room."
After finishing her words, she gestured for Zhuo Yun beside her to head back together.
When they returned to the private room, Zhuo Yun spoke up, "Don’t be angry, from what I saw just now, it seems that the mermaid miss has a one-sided love for Xiaole."
Sheng An shook her head, "I’m not angry, it’s just that I feel some things are better resolved completely."
Her voice paused for a moment, then she suddenly looked up and asked, "Zhuo Yun, do you like me?"
Zhuo Yun: "..."
With a clatter, the fork in his hand dropped to the floor!
Although shocked, after a few seconds, Zhuo Yun immediately nodded earnestly, "I do."
"Like as in wanting to get married?"
"Yes!"
And at that moment, Sheng Le had already hurried over, and just as he pushed open the door to the private room, he heard the conversation between the two.
His face instantly changed!
