Chapter 115: Coaxing Himself

“Water, hurry.”

Chi Che took the water to help wash Chi Wan’s forehead.

Chi Wan washed her forehead over and over again, crying sorrowfully:

“I’m filthy. Filthy, filthy… completely filthy.”

Chi Che comforted her in a low voice: “It’s been washed clean. You’re not filthy.”

Shi Ye crowded around to hand Chi Wan water.

Seeing that Chi Wan had rubbed her forehead red but was still scrubbing fiercely, Yun Qi also walked over:

“It’s already been washed clean. If you wash anymore, it’ll bleed.”

Chi Wan shook her head with a collapsed face: “It can’t be washed clean.”

The more aggrieved she felt, the more miserable Pei Yuan’s beating became.

After returning from this operation, Chi Wan’s desire to leave was extremely strong.

She went to the Robot Department to purchase the exclusive robot rights for Dudu. Then, without stopping, she went to the headquarters to collect her rewards and spent all her contribution points to exchange for energy concentrate.

Huddled in her room, she absorbed it all in one go, pulling her energy level straight up to SSS-rank, level 9!

Such a “hastened growth” method was naturally not very stable. Although the increase was fast, the energy was unstable, and her body needed to absorb and adapt.

But that wasn’t what troubled Chi Wan the most. What gave her the biggest headache was—

Interstellar spacecraft had strict requirements and rules. Not only was it extremely difficult to obtain the qualification to board a spacecraft leaving the galaxy, but robots were strictly prohibited from boarding.

She only found this out after consulting Kui An.

As a result, she had filled out a bunch of applications on the interstellar spaceport website that had gone completely unanswered. Worried and unable to sleep, she simply changed her clothes and went to the Training Building to train.

Besides combat, training was also a very effective way to stabilize energy.

To her surprise, she saw the white-clothed youth waiting at the bottom of the stairs.

Under the night sky, although the Alliance’s night lights were white, they were a bit dazzling.

Chi Wan’s footsteps paused. She wanted to go back upstairs, but he stopped her.

“I heard them say Pei Yuan made you cry. I was worried about you, so I came to see you.”

He spoke, looking at her brand-new combat suit:

“Going to train? I’ll accompany you.”

Chi Wan took a step back, her gaze fixed on him with a lot of confusion.

After she had been like that during the day, did he have the memory of a goldfish?

Shen Yu seemed to guess what she was thinking through this look.

He lowered his head and rubbed the white hair on his head, letting out a low laugh. The bitterness in this laugh was hidden very well by him:

“Can’t I… coax myself back to being okay?”

As he spoke, he took a step closer, his voice muffled and no longer clear:

“Grandpa said our family has an ancestral ‘Love Brain.’ I didn’t believe it at first.

Now… I’m really fortunate…”

He spoke, bending over and gazing at her with those damp phoenix eyes, his voice low:

“Don’t push me away, alright?”

Chi Wan followed Shen Yu to the training room with a heavy little face.

It’s fine, it’s fine. If I can’t drive him away now, it won’t stop me from leaving when the time comes. We’ll deal with future matters in the future.

She comforted herself this way in her heart.

But despite the comfort, Chi Wan was still burdened with thoughts.

After a round of training, she planned to change her weapon.

Shen Yu was a weapon polymath and told her she could pick whatever she wanted.

However, after entering the Weapon Building, she unexpectedly ran into Yun Qi, who had just walked upstairs.

His head was lowered, and he was saying something to the person beside him.

The moment she saw him, Chi Wan was startled to find that the sensation of their bond didn’t seem as strong as before. If she didn’t specifically try to sense it, she wouldn’t even notice his approach.

Unsure if it was her own illusion, Chi Wan continued walking toward the armory.

As she got closer, the sound of the conversation drifted over.

“I heard it from other Shaobing. So you must be very troubled by this contract, right?”

“There is some trouble.”

Yun Qi was giving a perfunctory response. When he lifted his eyes and saw the figure walking from the other side, his footsteps paused.

He walked straight toward Chi Wan:

“Why is Guide Chi Wan here?”

At this hour.

Chi Wan smiled. “Training.”

As she spoke, her heart felt even more despondent.

It wasn’t despondency over Yun Qi’s words just now, but that she really couldn’t seem to find a way to dissolve the contract.

If Chi Che couldn’t help her dissolve it, what other way could there be? Time was running out.

If she left with this contract in the future, if Yun Qi wanted to kill her for Ji Ke, wouldn’t it be even easier to find her?

Thinking of this, she was both sorrowful and fearful.

Although her behavior remained normal as she selected items one by one in the armory, the emotions in her heart were accurately transmitted to Yun Qi.

His gaze followed her, secretly blaming himself that he shouldn’t have said that sentence just now.

In truth, he wasn’t troubled at all.

He followed her, wanting to say something, but couldn’t muster a single word for a long time.

After Chi Wan selected a new weapon, she glanced at Yun Qi beside her, wanting to ask him if he could kill her while bearing this contract.

Yet she couldn’t ask.

She walked downstairs in silence.

Shen Yu, who was waiting below, saw Chi Wan and also saw Yun Qi following behind her.

That cold Commander who usually didn’t fit in and preferred solitude was following her step-by-step, and the gaze he fixed on her was clearly not innocent.

The big tiger was a bit unhappy.

The road to chasing his wife was ridiculously bumpy.

Yun Qi, however, was the first to speak:

“Guide Chi Wan, could you call my name?”

Chi Wan stopped her footsteps and looked at him in confusion.

But she didn’t ask much and just spoke: “Yun Qi.”

In the next second, he was pulled toward her.

Shen Yu’s hand blocked the space between them in advance.

He frowned at Yun Qi, his questioning intent obvious.

Yun Qi ignored Shen Yu and just continued:

“Try calling it once more?”

“Yun Qi.”
