Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 56 Why Aren’t You Replying to My Messages?
The awkward atmosphere spread throughout the kitchen, and everyone did not dare to breathe.
After all, no one could understand why the First Commander had suddenly appeared here!
Miss Luo, who usually feared nothing, was also hiding behind Su Wan at this time.
She tugged at the corner of Su Wan’s clothes, gesturing for her to step forward.
Your man, you go break this awkward silence!
The other people also looked towards Su Wan, who, in fact, felt somewhat unnerved.
After all, she felt that Commander Gu seemed even more indifferent than usual?
As if someone had annoyed him?
But standing here in silence without speaking wasn’t solving anything!
The food was getting cold!
Su Wan stepped forward, subconsciously saluted Gu Jue, and then saw that Gu Jue’s brows seemed to furrow even more deeply.
People around: ...
"Commander, why have you come here?" Su Wan felt she was the bravest of the group.
Hadn’t she seen that the other people didn’t dare to look directly at Commander Gu?
Gu Jue’s gaze remained cool and detached as he said, "Official business. What are you all doing?"
"Making a meal, have you eaten?"
"No."
"Then just in time, join us."
Gu Jue gave a slight nod, indeed walked over to Su Wan’s side, then pulled out a chair, slowly took off his white gloves, picked up the cutlery Su Wan had used, and began to eat.
Seeing Gu Jue eating, the people around breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Wan, seeing her own utensils being used, felt it inappropriate to object, so she simply took another set and sat beside Gu Jue to eat.
If we don’t eat now, the food will get cold!
The other few people also came to their senses and continued to eat.
Luckily, Su Wan had made plenty of dishes before, so Mu Lei and Li Rui also washed their hands and sat down to eat together.
Around the table sat seven or eight people eating, yet it was extremely quiet, with only the rhythmic sound of chewing audible.
Gu Jue finished his meal first, then turned to look at Su Wan, who immediately felt overwhelmed and quickly finished eating too, picked up a napkin gracefully wiped her mouth, and looked up at Gu Jue with puzzled eyes.
Gu Jue said, "Come with me, I have something to talk to you about."
Su Wan thought it must be about Du Weiwei.
She nodded, then waved her paws to say goodbye to her roommates and the others, and followed Gu Jue out.
She didn’t realize how... sympathetic the eyes of the group watching her were!
Su Wan followed Gu Jue into his resting room, and then she was soured!
After all, the place was really too big, about two hundred square meters of one bedroom and one living room.
She didn’t even notice when Gu Jue stopped; so, as she turned her head, she bumped into his back.
"Oof..."
Gu Jue looked back and swiftly extended his hand to embrace her, steadying Su Wan. She, clutching her nose, looked up at him accusingly.
Looking into her moist eyes, recalling the time she had helped him through his Manic-Depressive Period, Gu Jue’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
He said indifferently, "Why didn’t you reply to my message?"
"Huh?"
Su Wan, looking into the handsome face so close to hers, fluttered her long lashes.
It was mainly because his face was too handsome, and it was so close; the visual impact was too intense!
Gu Jue seemed like a very patient hunter, his hand still holding Su Wan’s shoulder, just watching her in silence.
His gaze was too focused, and Su Wan was too familiar with his body.
Then her ears turned slightly hot, but fortunately, her thoughts became clearer at that moment.
"You mean just now? I went to play virtual Mecha PK with someone. I was disconnected from the neural link at the time. After it ended, I saw your message and replied to you."
Gu Jue noticed the earnestness in Su Wan’s eyes and knew she wouldn’t hide anything about this matter from him.
The ice at the bottom of his eyes melted slightly, and the tight corners of his mouth also relaxed a bit.
He finally released Su Wan with a touch of kindness.
As Gu Jue turned around, Su Wan took a half-step back, flexed her tender ankles, and then followed Gu Jue’s pace.
They walked to the sofa and sat down face to face. White Tiger immediately controlled a robot to serve them hot drinks. Gu Jue raised his eyes to look at her, "Do you like operating Mecha?"
"Ah, it’s okay, I’m a bit interested, but not very good at it," Su Wan sipped her hot milk and completely calmed down. She said, "Ajue, are you talking to me about Du Weiwei? Is she really going to be released early?"
"Yes, she provided the whereabouts of Star Thief Lucifer in the tenth star sector, and because of the information she supplied, we were able to catch Lucifer’s accomplices. She earned merit, so she’s being released early."
Su Wan was somewhat surprised, but it was within her expectations.
If Su Man could be so troublesome, her mother was probably not an easy opponent either.
After a moment of thought, Su Wan said, "I need to send a message to my mom."
Once they reached Training Base Star, they would no longer be able to contact each other. Su Wan had previously discussed with her grandfather about how to handle the restaurant business.
But she hadn’t had a proper conversation with her mother.
She was also unclear about the current state of the relationship between her mother and father.
Gu Jue: "The Starship is about to perform a space jump soon. Contact your mother after the jump is complete."
Su Wan nodded her head.
The two of them sat facing each other like that, the atmosphere slightly delicate. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Su Wan pondered whether it would be appropriate for her to take her leave at this moment.
Although the two of them were husband and wife, the interaction always felt a bit odd.
This wasn’t the mansion, but the Empire University’s Starship.
Just as she was about to speak, Gu Jue suddenly asked, "Whom did you spar with?"
Su Wan: "Pandora, she’s a freshman at the military academy. And, oh, she admires you."
Gu Jue looked at her questioningly.
Su Wan picked up the hot milk next to her and took a sip.
Gu Jue’s eyebrows narrowed slightly, "Did you win?"
Su Wan’s eyes widened, "How did you know? Cough, Pandora is quite strong, I almost couldn’t keep up. But in the end, I won."
The pretty young girl, with a clean and neat ponytail, and a slight smugness in the corners of her eyes and brows, looked youthful and tender, even in the crisp military-style school uniform.
Soft and cuddly.
It made one want to fold her into their arms.
Gu Jue shifted his gaze indifferently and instructed White Tiger, "Go get the recording of their PK projection."
White Tiger: "Yes!"
Su Wan, clutching her cup of milk, looked somewhat dejected, "So, you don’t believe that I beat Pandora?"
"No, I want to see your basic skills."
"Why do you want to see my basic skills?"
"To see if you can handle a real Mecha."
"..."
Although Su Wan was interested in Mechas, she was busy and had many things she wanted to do. She wasn’t interested in becoming a combat soldier specializing in Mechas.
She quickly said, "My health won’t permit it, I was screened out during the physical examination."
Hearing this, Gu Jue also thought about her physical condition. His handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly and finally he said, "Well, when we return, I’ll take you to Azure Dragon to have some fun."
The physical requirements for piloting a Mecha were indeed very high; usually only Beastmen were suitable for the role.
Moreover, high-intensity combat could also damage the pilot’s body.
Gu Jue couldn’t bear to see his delicate little wife get hurt.
And Azure Dragon was Gu Jue’s personal Mecha; with him accompanying her, nothing would go wrong.
Su Wan’s eyes sparkled upon hearing this, "Okay!"
Seeing his little wife’s bright eyes and the white traces of milk lingering around her mouth... Gu Jue indifferently moved his gaze aside.
