Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Mom is Awesome!
Xiaoyan woke up crying.
After all, a talking insect is too scary!
The little girl was crying with red eyes and gasping for breath. It happened that Su Wan had just finished her exam and returned with Gu Jue. Upon hearing her daughter’s cries, she left her husband behind and instantly teleported to her daughter’s room!
She was indeed much faster than Xiaochen, Xiaoyu, and the others who came from the other rooms!
"Xiaoyan, what’s wrong?"
Su Wan hurriedly embraced her daughter, whose pale little face still had shiny tear drops, and her expression was extremely aggrieved as she kept burrowing into Su Wan’s arms.
"Mommy, there are bugs!"
"What, there are bugs in the room?" Su Wan immediately frowned. This was unacceptable! She immediately had Vermilion Bird command the household robots to check Xiaoyan’s room carefully and thoroughly.
Vermilion Bird worked very efficiently. It finished quickly, then said to Su Wan, "Master, it has been confirmed, there are no more insects in the young master’s room."
Su Wan looked at her daughter and said tenderly, "Xiaoyan is good, it’s okay now, no more bugs."
The little girl held onto her mother tightly because she felt especially secure in her mother’s arms.
Xiaoyan said softly, "In the dream, mushrooms, with bugs, and they talk!"
Su Wan: "..."
Great, she finally understood that her daughter had a nightmare. Even though it was just a nightmare, Su Wan still took a long time to gently comfort her daughter until she finally calmed down. Su Wan looked up to see three men at the door of her daughter’s room, one tall and two small.
Su Wan waved her hand, "It’s okay, it’s okay, Xiaoyan just had a nightmare."
All three men breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoyan noticed that mommy was still in military uniform, which meant she must have just come back. She asked seriously, "Mommy, did you do well on your test?"
"Yes, Mommy passed the second exam."
"Mommy is amazing!"
The little girl had already forgotten the terrible nightmare. She stood up, hugged her mother’s face and planted a kiss on it.
On this side, Gu Jue walked over, leaned down and kissed both his wife and daughter on the face. "Xiaoyan, play with your brothers for a while, let Mommy take a bath first, is that okay?"
"Mm-hmm."
The little girl was particularly sensible and obedient, plus she knew that her mother had just finished an exam and was tired and needed to rest!
Over here, Su Wan saw her two sons come over to accompany Xiaoyan, so she was reassured and followed Gu Jue out. Still, she couldn’t help but say, "You, you know, I’m not very tired. I could’ve stayed with Xiaoyan a bit longer, she just had a nightmare."
"If you’re worried, I’ll go be with her later, you need to rest too."
Lying in the virtual pod to take the exam, though it had only been a few hours in real-world time, Su Wan had actually spent several days inside.
And the battles she experienced were all very real.
But as a Super Beastman, Su Wan really wasn’t tired. There was, however, one kind of tiredness called your husband thinking you’re tired. She had no choice but to go back to the bedroom first and take a bath.
However, as soon as she took off her military jacket, she said, "Ajue, about those people who wanted to harm Xiaochen, how is the investigation going?"
"It’s people from the Universe Alliance, don’t worry, I won’t let them off."
Su Wan nodded, "But if they targeted Xiaochen this time, then actually they were testing Landis Star, weren’t they? They must have been wary of us all along!"
"Yes."
The couple exchanged a glance, and in that moment, Su Wan saw a fierce determination in Commander Gu Jue’s eyes, along with a kind of... ambition!
Certain things surfaced in her mind, but Su Wan did not voice them. She simply reached out and took Gu Jue’s hand, saying, "Ajue, no matter what, I’ll support whatever you do."
"Mm."
Gu Jue nodded solemnly, paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you want me to help you bathe?"
Su Wan: "...There’s no need for that."
Gu Jue was a bit disappointed and said, "Alright then, you go take a bath first and rest in the room for a while. I’m going to check on Xiaoyan, and you don’t have to cook dinner; I’ve already asked White Tiger to instruct the domestic robots."
Though Gu Jue loved the dishes made by his wife, he could not bear to see her tired from the hard work.
With no other choice, Su Wan obediently nodded, took a relaxing bath, and after bathing, she felt somewhat drowsy. She lay on the soft sofa in the bedroom and suddenly remembered some information Gu Jue had sent her.
It was about some of the captains in the virtual fleet during her last exam.
Su Wan asked Vermilion Bird to bring up the information, and when she saw that the blond captain, Charles, was indeed Eric’s grandfather, Su Wan realized that these two did share some similarities.
The black-haired captain Li Li was also a senior member of the Li Rui family. It turned out Li Rui and Eric’s seniors were all acquainted with each other.
Although they might not be in the same fleet, they were people from the same era.
However, the person who left the deepest impression on Su Wan was Xiaoyin, the silver-haired man who normally seemed a bit world-weary.
The information Gu Jue provided did not include this person.
Su Wan: "Perhaps, this person was completely fabricated."
Su Wan then looked through Commander Du Chen’s information. She was unable to help the ’five captains’ seek vengeance for Commander Chen, but in truth, Su Wan still felt that Du Chen’s death was a pity.
She closed the page on Du Chen’s profile, so she did not see the line at the bottom.
’After Commander Du Chen’s sacrifice, his long-kept silver snake disappeared from his commander’s mansion and was never seen again. Some speculate that the highly intelligent snake took a flying vehicle and followed Du Chen into a black hole...’
Su Wan closed the information page and opened the chat group with her close friends, seeing that Pandora, Sheng An, and the others were discussing their exams. In this second exam, their Squad Nine had remarkably passed four members.
Su Wan, Pandora, Sheng An, and Bai Qi.
Everyone was chatting in the group, feeling sorry for Lin Yu because if he hadn’t dropped out, he definitely would have passed this second exam as well.
Seeing that Lin Yu hadn’t said a word, Su Wan shifted her gaze away and casually chatted with her friends about other things.
At that moment, Lin Yu was looking at the chat contents of his friends in the group with mixed emotions.
His heart ached.
It was all his own fault. If he hadn’t harbored those feelings for Xiaowan, if he hadn’t chosen Chen Nuan who resembled Xiaowan as his girlfriend, would he have ended up like this today?
If only Chen Nuan hadn’t appeared before him, hadn’t shown him affection.
But could he blame Chen Nuan for this?
No, it was his own inability to restrain himself that was to blame.
Lin Yu lay in his apartment in a state of disarray, surrounded by empty bottles, blankly staring at the ceiling.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
It seemed that Chen Nuan hadn’t contacted him in a long time, had she?
