Several hours passed again, Su Xiaocai rubbed her somewhat sore neck, it won’t work, the experiment still won’t work.

What seemed like a simple experiment, who knows how many attempts it would take to succeed.

Sometimes you need luck, if it doesn’t work, stop for now, don’t let failure affect your mood.

Su Xiaocai went downstairs to eat, and Xing Miao came, it turned out she didn’t need to compete, her training was also stopping for a few days, so she wanted to follow her to train her mecha driving skills a bit more.

Her teammates were progressing rapidly, she couldn’t stay where she was.

Su Xiaocai welcomed her coming, but not tonight, Admiral Bai would come over, the matter of acupuncture to promote qi sensing needed to be kept secret.

Just like folk remedies can’t gain public acceptance, the matter of acupuncture can’t be exposed.

When she heard tonight wasn’t possible, Xing Miao didn’t mind, she told Su Xiaocai about something, "I just saw a few shady figures outside. When we came to find you before, we noticed them too. I thought they were people secretly protecting you, but seeing them again today makes me think, your protectors couldn’t be that foolish. Caicai, maybe you should find an assistant to live with you. For a single woman, it’s somewhat isolated here."

Bringing up the topic of an assistant again, Su Xiaocai thought of Sister Wenwen.

She shook her head, no, there were too many secrets, she needed someone trustworthy, Blue Star’s environment wasn’t suitable, it easily attracted skillfully disguised double agents.

Even life-and-death friendships might not hold the line, let alone someone hired.

"I’ll think about it later. Besides, there’s Xiao Wanzi and Huahua." Now with an unfamiliar but constantly present little bundle, no wait, it’s Ah Bao, the leopard-patterned cat recognizes the name Xiao Wanzi calls.

Strangers might scare the little wife away, once Ah Bao can have kids, she’ll hire someone, specifically as a nanny for Huahua’s offspring.

"Don’t worry too much, I have bodyguards, it’s not that easy to fall into a trap."

"Just be careful." Xing Miao still felt a bit worried, Su Xiaocai was petite, but because of her smart brains and skills, she became her coach.

Essentially, Su Xiaocai was still a teenage girl.

Xing Miao’s personality had changed a lot, still soft inside, but she could already distinguish who to stay soft with.

Su Xiaocai’s hair had grown a bit long, the rubber band completely looped it up, exposing a "little tail," loosely.

She helped Su Xiaocai tidy and pin it up properly, hugged this friend and mentor, "What to do, I’m really reluctant to part with you, Wu Qingqing keeps talking about you every day." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Life is long, it’s just separation, it’s not like we’ll never see each other again."

"No, many people haven’t seen each other for a long time, and it’s hard to get together again."

"I’m always in the same place, even if you all go far away, you turn back, you can still see me." This topic had come up many times, Su Xiaocai also couldn’t help but feel wistful.

Xing Miao didn’t mention it anymore, she came mainly to remind Su Xiaocai.

"I can’t guarantee that I’ll definitely become a top military commander in the future, but if I luckily manage to, please always remember our friendship."

"Okay, stop with the mushy talk."

Xing Miao pinched her cheek, "You little body, lay off the cuteness, you’re about to overflow." She squeezed in another mushy sentence before leaving.

Su Xiaocai rubbed the goosebumps on her arm, Xing Miao was increasingly showing a queenly demeanor, learning to tease people.

Speaking about the shady figures problem, Su Xiaocai was also puzzled and asked Major Liu if he’d seen any suspicious figures.

Major Liu: "It’s hard to rule out, especially since those professors live nearby now, quite a few come to see the professors."

Professor Ai and other professors were the targets of ill-intentioned people.

Blue Star wasn’t safe, crises lurked everywhere. Not just the Insect Men, but internal issues too.

So those hanging around, their intentions were hard to discern, you couldn’t just arrest them all because they were sneaky.

Su Xiaocai missed the days on Su’s Planet, with Daddy Su watching over, she didn’t have to worry much about safety.

Just as Professor Ai was mentioned, he arrived outside the door, Su Xiaocai was a bit reluctant to host him, his arrival signaled she had to get into thinking mode, and she had just left the lab not long ago.

"Teacher Su, I have a question I’d like to ask."

A seriously asked question, Su Xiaocai hesitated for a moment, then invited him in.

Once inside, Professor Ai told Su Xiaocai with obvious pleasure that the drafts of the Blue Star Space Base were out, and the professors involved all thought his new blueprint was exceptional.

Next would be exchanging among themselves to see if any issues could be found.

So, he wanted Su Xiaocai to have a look first.

"Professor, wouldn’t you be accused of leaking secrets like this?" Su Xiaocai deliberately lowered her voice, "Look at this, a professor with no skills finds an outsider to look at the blueprint."
