Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 755: They Fell for the Same Person

Jiang Shang smiled faintly and said, "We Plantmen are inherently weaker in Combat Power compared to Beastmen and Insectoids. After decades of struggle, we’ve only just recently secured our current status."

"If Gu Yan is willing to become our leader, it would be tantamount to having the protection of Landis Star. As long as she’s with us, we will be safe for nearly two hundred years into the future!"

Although Jiang Huai was initially shocked, he soon understood his father’s words.

He nodded and said, "Then father, let’s do it!"

"Achoo, achoo!"

Gu Yan sneezed several times in a row, prompting Xu Wei’an, who was next to her, to ask curiously, "Xiaoyan, have you caught a cold?"

"No, I’m in perfect health."

"Oh right, I forgot; the people here have incredible bodies!" During her time here, Xu Wei’an had crammed a lot of information about the local people. She learned that pure humans like her are called Purebred Humans, and then there are Beastmen, Plantmen, and Insectoids.

But no matter what type they were, their bodies were all extraordinarily healthy. Common ailments like colds from Ancient Earth no longer existed here.

Most illnesses could be treated in medical pods, and even the terminal diseases from Earth were now considered minor here.

Some diseases could even be healed through the people’s innate immune systems.

Otherwise, why would the average lifespan here be over one hundred fifty years, while Beastmen could live up to two hundred years?

Gu Yan remembered that Xu Wei’an was from Ancient Earth and said, "Don’t worry. As long as you follow the treatment, even if you can’t evolve into other races through artificial means, you can still live a healthy, extended life—even though you can only live up to one hundred fifty years at most."

"Ah, living to one hundred fifty years old would make me super happy." Xu Wei’an was naturally optimistic. She had been too timid in the past, but she was now trying to change.

The attention of both girls returned to the Mecha on the stage.

Gu Yan felt a bit envious. "I really admire Vivian. She said she wanted to learn how to pilot Mechas, and now she’s actually doing it! I can’t. The most I’ve ever done was riding in a Mecha when I was little, with my mom and dad."

"Me neither. Isn’t it said that piloting a Mecha requires strong spiritual power?"

Both girls eagerly watched their friend control the Mecha during training, and once Vivian had finished, the three of them walked out together. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Gu Yan checked the time. "It’s time to go. Let’s head to the Su Family restaurant for dinner."

For Gu Yan, going to the Su Family restaurant was just like going home for a meal.

As the only daughter of the Su Family’s boss, every employee at the Su Family restaurants might not recognize Commander Gu Jue, but they all had to recognize Gu Yan!

Xu Wei’an said, "I just happened to have half a day off today, and here I am, back at the restaurant."

"What, don’t you enjoy working at the restaurant?"

"No, no, no, I’m quite happy with it, and everyone treats me well."

However, Gu Yan felt there was more to what Xu Wei’an was saying, and why did she seem so shy and hesitant?

Vivian, next to her, spoke up directly, "She’s fallen for someone but doesn’t know how to approach him."

"Sister!"

Although they were the same age, Vivian was somewhat more assertive, so she took on the role of the older sister, while Xu Wei’an became the younger sister.

They claimed to the outside world that Xu Wei’an was a child adopted by Julia.

Her identity being from Ancient Earth meant she didn’t know much.

Gu Yan was curious, "Who do you like, do I know them, are they from the Su Family restaurant or from outside?"

Once the three of them were aboard the flight device and there were no others around, Xu Wei’an hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "It’s Manager Sheng."

Gu Yan blinked.

"So it’s Uncle Sheng Le, huh? He’s a good man, still single, and besides being the manager of the Su Family restaurant, he also holds a position at the military department. His sister, Sheng An, is a good friend of my mother, but Aunt Sheng An and her husband have been stationed on other planets for many years. What are you hesitating about, are you just too shy to say it?"

Xu Wei’an shook her head, "I can’t say."

"Why not?"

"Because Su Yao also likes him. And, she liked him first."

Gu Yan was stunned, not expecting this answer.

It was Weiwei who spoke up from the side, saying, "When it comes to liking someone, there’s no such thing as first come, first served. Besides, does Sheng Le like Su Yao? If he likes Su Yao, then you shouldn’t tell him, but what if he doesn’t?"

"I don’t know who he likes, and from appearances, it’s not clear either. But Su Yao really likes him; these days at the restaurant, it’s been Su Yao who has been taking care of me, even though she’s younger than me, she’s been very caring."

Gu Yan finally understood why Xu Wei’an was troubled.

After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this, I’ll ask my mother to subtly inquire and see who Uncle Sheng Le likes; knowing whether or not he fancies someone will help you figure out what your next step should be, alright?"

"Yes!"

On one side was a good friend, and on the other was little sister Su Yao.

To be honest, although Su Yao’s mother was not so great, Gu Yan still quite liked Su Yao, this little sister.

Gu Yan took the matter to heart, and when she returned home that evening, she made a point of finding her mother and talking about it.

Su Wan had just changed out of her military uniform and was wearing a beige house dress, which made her seem very gentle.

She said with a smile, "These two little girls, both have good taste, huh. Xiaole is quite outstanding, and his cooking skills are also great; he’s the most talented among my many apprentices."

"Mom, didn’t granduncle say that Uncle Sheng Le is his apprentice?"

"It’s because Xiaole cooks the most delicious food, which is why granduncle says he’s his apprentice."

"So that’s how it is. Well, Mom, do you know if he likes Su Yao or Xu Wei’an?"

Su Wan shook her head, "The usual interactions we have are all about official business. However, I do know the kind of girl he used to like. He fancied those who were valiant and formidable, quite dominant, and very decisive in their actions."

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Ah, isn’t that Weiwei? But I think Uncle Sheng Le is quite dominant too, he likes that type?"

"That was before; now I don’t know if he has changed his mind. After all, people change."

Besides, the person Sheng Le used to fancy is already married with children and living happily; he’s long since stepped back to the position of a younger brother.

Gu Yan felt that this matter was getting more and more complicated.

After thinking for a bit, she shook her mother’s arm, coaxed, "Mom, can you help me subtly find out? They’re both my friends, and I don’t want them to become enemies over a man. While love is still budding, if it turns out the other party already has someone in mind, the other one can withdraw in time."

Su Wan nodded, but then came another probing question.

"What if he doesn’t like either of them? Xiaoyan, as their friend, what will you do? Who will you help?"
