Inside the spaceship instructor's lounge

Jiang Yan asked Lin Zhi with a dejected face, "Why did you bring them all here?"

Lin Zhi sat on the sofa, smiling mischievously. "You're in such great danger. Did you expect me to just stand by and watch?"

"Look, I'm Lin Cheng with all the previous memories. I remember everything we've been through together, and I have much more experience than them. Yet I'm still so afraid of you getting hurt."

"If you were to tell them everything honestly, I believe they'd probably jump right in front of you to protect you."

"Well, I must be quite charming then," Jiang Yan remarked with a sigh. "But it's unnecessary. I can handle this on my own."

"Just give us who love you a chance," Lin Zhi said softly. "I want to get back soon too, so we can watch the stars together on the ship."

...

Jiang Yan was successfully persuaded. She turned to leave, intending to go find Qin Zhen to hang out for a while.

However, as soon as she stepped out, everything went dark. Jiang Youbai grabbed her by the collar and dragged her into his room.

Lin Zhi didn't miss the strange noise outside. He looked out to see the door swinging back and forth, left open. Lin Zhi smiled helplessly, feeling quite regretful that they couldn't share sensations between them.

If only he could feel it when Jiang Youbai kissed her.

Despite the spaceship's size, it was still a mode of transportation with limited space. The rooms allocated to crew members were extremely small, barely able to fit a bed.

Jiang Yan was pushed in backwards by Jiang Youbai, falling directly onto the bed.

...

The spaceship soon arrived at Planet Elwin.

As soon as the ship stopped, Lin Zhi gathered all the combat class members and launched a surprise attack.

Jiang Yan, with nothing to do, stayed behind with a few members guarding the ship. Oh, and Lu Yang too, because as a mecha engineer, he didn't have an advantage in close combat.

He was originally tricked by Lin Zhi to come here as an advisor. Lin Zhi had told him that Jiang Yan would be here too, which was why he participated in this training mission that wasn't very relevant to his expertise.

Jiang Yan was idling in the lounge, spinning in the chair Lin Zhi usually sat in. She turned her head to see Lu Yang leaning against the open door, quietly watching her.

Jiang Yan hooked her foot on the swivel chair to stop it. Lu Yang walked in and sat on the nearby sofa. Despite his seated posture, his tall stature still exuded an upright and superior presence.

He was actually about the same age as Jiang Youbai, just with a cooler temperament, less prone to agitation.

After a moment of silence, he asked, seemingly casually, "It looks like you came here with Instructor Lin?"

Jiang Yan had a feeling that it wouldn't be long before she would truly meet him again in the future. Suddenly, she started treating Lu Yang as if he were his future self.

She smiled at him, speaking as if they had been together for a long time: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Her tone lightened the atmosphere. Lu Yang's brow immediately relaxed as he thought to himself, she cares about my feelings. He pondered for a moment before saying, "A little bit."

"Haha, even if you are, it doesn't matter," Jiang Yan said.

Perhaps her laughter was too infectious. As Lu Yang watched her, he felt the urge to laugh along with her.
