Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 113: Bring the Commander Along

Although Miss Luo Ji was somewhat proud and had the temperament of a young lady,

she was aware that her comfortable life was only due to the sheltering of her family elders.

She was merely better at being "born into the right family" than people like Sheng An,

but in other respects, she fell far short of them.

Seeing both her friends speak like this, Sheng An was also very excited.

However, she wasn’t good with words, and just clenched her fists, silently resolving to continue working hard.

Su Wan was actually very happy too, after all, the three friends shared similar values.

It’s not easy to encounter friends one gets along with, and she had found two at once, so she felt quite fortunate.

Just as the three friends were happily chatting, a tall figure suddenly blocked their path. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

It was the tall Pandora.

She had her hair in a ponytail and was wearing a school uniform, her long legs shrouded in brown military boots.

Because she was taller than most boys and exuded a strong presence,

it was hard for people around her not to focus their attention on Pandora when she appeared.

Ever since Su Wan found out that Pandora’s beast transformation form was a bear, her feelings suddenly became complex.

Plus, Pandora had always treated Gu Jue as her idol.

But the last time Gu Jue mentioned using "that female classmate" during the starship simulation mecha PK,

it was a female classmate without a name.

Even though Pandora always paid close attention to Gu Jue, Su Wan would not get jealous over nothing.

Because in the entire Federal Empire, there were just too many people who admired Gu Jue.

Oh, the teacher who had just taught them a dissection class, it was said, adored the First Commander to a great extent.

His greatest life goal was to one day personally dissect Commander Gu.

...

Su Wan touched her still-flat belly and said with a smile, "Pandora, are you here to challenge me to a PK again?"

Pandora frowned, "No, I won’t challenge you to a PK until after you have the baby, because winning against you then wouldn’t be an honorable victory."

Su Wan really wanted to say, it’s when I’m pregnant that you wouldn’t stand a chance against me.

After all, her baby was electrically charged.

Su Wan waited for her to say but.

Sure enough, Pandora continued, "But I heard that you’re transferring to the military academy, and I will wait for you there!"

Su Wan: "Whether I go to the military academy or not, I have not decided yet."

Pandora: "Are you scared of me and dare not come?"

Su Wan slowly shook her head, "Pandora, provocation doesn’t work on me. Any decision I make is because it’s what I want, and then I choose. But, I don’t understand why you keep targeting me?"

By her side, Luo Jina couldn’t help but interject, "Yeah, what’s your deal, Pando? Xiaowan hasn’t offended you."

Pandora hesitated for a moment and finally looked into Su Wan’s eyes, "Su Wan, I have no malice, I just think that the wife of a commander must also be exceptionally excellent!"

Su Wan shook her head.

Actually, many people in the Interstellar Federation shared Pandora’s sentiment.

Due to their excessive admiration for Gu Jue, they possessed their own persistent biases.

They meant no harm.

And they wouldn’t, like those people before, say unpleasant things online.

But Su Wan couldn’t explain this in just a few words right now.

She would strive to become stronger, but until then, she could only lie low.

Reality was the best way to prove oneself.

After Pandora left, Su Wan realized something—many people knew she had received an invitation from the military academy.

This must have been connected to Director Mu’s public support for her on the internet back then.

Recalling this, Su Wan couldn’t help but wonder, did her mother really fancy Director Mu?

How was their relationship progressing?

If it were someone else, Su Wan would not be so concerned.

But her mother was her closest relative, and during those years she lay in the healing pod, her mother was the only one who hadn’t given up on her.

She would chat with her from time to time.

Even though Su Wan couldn’t hear back then, her mother, Lin Ranyue, still didn’t give up.

When Su Wan got home that evening, Gu Jue hadn’t returned yet because he was busy with official business.

Su Wan decided to do a live stream, since Food God hadn’t been online for quite some time.

Before that, Su Wan called her mother, Lin Ranyue.

Lin Ranyue hung up and immediately sent a projection over.

The moment the call connected, Su Wan saw her mother wearing a tracksuit, a sun hat, and black boots, working away in the vegetable garden.

"Xiaowan, missed your mom?"

"Yeah, where are you?"

"Oh, I’m with your grandparents, we’re here at the estate planting vegetables. The fruits and vegetables here are so fresh, I’ll bring some for you and the Commander when we go to the First Star District."

Su Wan loved cooking and was particularly fond of these fresh fruits and vegetables.

The Lin family had previously rented a piece of land on a Barren Star and built an estate there, where they would occasionally go on vacation.

This time, the elder Mr. Lin was worried about his daughter’s mood after her divorce, so he brought the family to the estate for a relaxing holiday.

Su Wan had visited a few times as a child as well, and she really liked it there.

She said enviously, "I haven’t been on vacation at the estate for such a long time."

Lin Ranyue: "Well, when you and the Commander both have time, you can come over together."

Su Wan was tempted.

She had been busy all this time and really hadn’t had a good rest.

It was too late today, but she didn’t have classes tomorrow afternoon, and the morning anatomy class had ended early because the teacher had something to do.

But she wasn’t sure if Gu Jue had time.

If he didn’t, she could just go by herself.

Su Wan immediately told her mother, "It happens that I have no classes tomorrow, so I’ll head over early in the morning!"

Lin Ranyue: "Good, bring Commander Gu along."

Su Wan: "...I’m not sure if he’s free. I’ll ask him when he gets off work and comes back today."

Since she had decided to go tomorrow, Su Wan wasn’t in a hurry to ask her mother about her business with Director Mu during their call.

After chatting casually for a while longer, mother and daughter ended their call.

After washing her hands, Su Wan went to the neighboring studio to prepare for her live stream; this time, she planned to bake a cake.

But just as she logged into Food God’s account, she received a private message.

After reading it, Su Wan was somewhat speechless.

The person who sent the message was her ex-father, Su Zhen, whom she had just severed ties with not long ago.

Su Wan thought that her alt, Food God, had been exposed.

But as she read further, she realized that Su Zhen was actually trying to poach Food God!

Mr. Su: Hello, Food God, this is Su Zhen from the Su Family Restaurant. May I know when you’re available? I would like to discuss a potential collaboration with you offline.

The first thing that came to Su Wan’s mind when she saw this message was that what goes around comes around.

Her second thought was that the people at Su Family Restaurant were aware that Food God only communicated directly with Su Wan.

Su Zhen reaching out to Food God privately was definitely not good news.

At the very least, that was the case for Su Wan.

Su Wan didn’t respond immediately; instead, she started the live stream and proceeded with her original plan to bake a cake.

Baking a cake wasn’t difficult, but given the current scarcity of various raw materials, cakes naturally became a luxury item.

However, sweets still appealed to a niche audience.

So when the viewers came in and saw Food God making a cake, they all seemed uninterested.

"Is Food God only making a cake today? Even though it’s sure to be delicious, I don’t like sweets."

"Yeah, most of the nutrient fluid flavors are sweet recently; I gave some feedback a while ago, and they started developing spicy nutrient fluid."

"Handshake with the person above, I’ve recently been craving durian-flavored nutrient fluid."

"I don’t care what Food God makes, I’m just here to look at his hands! So good-looking, want to touch!"
