My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 690 - 232 Signal Communicator_3
Ever since Du Xixi and 2569 left the Blue Star Empire, Chen Yin, who was already short on rest, couldn’t think of food or drink each day, constantly worried that his sister and those officers might be trapped in that world and unable to return. As a result, he had visibly lost several pounds. In the evenings, he would sit in the pavilion, dealing with official duties with a melancholic expression, occasionally sighing up to the sky.
Miao Miao stayed by Chen Yin’s side. She was a genius, and because of these private family matters, she discussed with Lin You and decided to finish her studies early.
This was a risky decision. Even under normal circumstances, graduating from Blue Star University was a stringent process, not to mention graduating early. The requirements were even higher, demanding that she pass various professors’ examinations within one day to graduate.
Fortunately, Miao Miao had always had a habit of self-study, listening to the professors’ explanations in class while independently studying future courses and reading all the books related to political economics in the library. As a result, she passed all the exams with full marks.
On the day of passing, Miao Miao received her diploma, along with a return employment contract from Blue Star University. The university proposed hiring Miao Miao back as a professor of political economics. If Miao Miao signed the contract, she could transition from being a student at Blue Star University to becoming a professor.
This honor had only been awarded twice by Blue Star University – including Miao Miao’s offer. However, Miao Miao hesitated. She had chosen to finish early due to the time spent in classes, yet she was somewhat interested in becoming a professor, making it hard for her to choose between acceptance and rejection.
Lin You, on behalf of Blue Star University and Miao Miao, both compromised. Regardless, even if Miao Miao agreed to be a professor, her role would start in the new semester in the second half of the year, with over two months remaining in the current semester. Lin You suggested that Miao Miao take her time to decide, as long as she provided an answer by July.
By July, Du Xixi would surely have returned from the other world. This way, Miao Miao would have no concerns regarding Du Xixi and could follow her heart, and Blue Star University could gain a powerful new professor, a truly "mutually beneficial" situation.
Miao Miao helped Chen Yin stack some already handled official documents and then softly said, "Want to take a break?"
"No need. These official tasks need to be dealt with sooner or later. Handling more now will make it easier later," Chen Yin gently replied to Miao Miao, then looked down at the new official document, noticing it was yet another "inquiry form" from some courtier asking about Du Xixi and their situation, making him close his eyes in slight frustration.
Chen Yin took a deep breath. He didn’t want to lose his temper in front of Miao Miao, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but express a hint of anger in his tone: "These people neglect what they should do well, acting like gossip mongers. Every day, ten to twenty courtiers ask about Xixi’s situation. They ask me, but who do I ask?"
There were indeed people in the world concerned about Du Xixi and them, but Chen Yin, as the emperor of the Blue Star Empire and Du Xixi’s brother, was undoubtedly the most worried.
One moment, he had to worry about whether Du Xixi and they could return, and how the interstellar community would criticize the Blue Star Empire. Another moment, he had to worry about their safety, fearing that any oversight here would mean Du Xixi and they truly couldn’t come back. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
In such anxious times, those courtiers still dared to ask Chen Yin every day, making him want to "praise" them for their audacity!
Miao Miao also showed some visible worry in her eyes. She had been saved by Du Xixi, and as long as Du Xixi couldn’t return safely, she couldn’t ease her worried heart.
Miao Miao shook her head and sighed, "Previously, we entrusted a senior to make a signal communicator, but it’s already the fourth day, and Miss hasn’t sent any signals over. Could it be that the signal communicator isn’t working?"
Speaking of the signal communicator, Chen Yin felt another weight on his heart. He had hoped that with the signal communicator, they could maintain contact during these ten days, allowing everyone to know about Du Xixi’s safety. But with three days of silence from the signal communicator, not a hint of news from Du Xixi, Chen Yin’s heart grew cold.
Unknown dangers are far more worrisome than known dangers.
Chen Yin opened the Light Computer, staring at the word "sister" in his friends list in a daze, only to be startled when a video call request popped up.
Unexpectedly contacted, Chen Yin, who had barely added many people on the Light Brain Number, was first stunned, and upon seeing the name on the other side, he shivered in shock and exclaimed, "Xixi? Is it Xixi? Am I hallucinating?"
"It’s sister," Miao Miao leaned over to take a look, hearing Chen Yin murmuring "Xixi" while the video call requester was "sister," suspecting that Chen Yin was overly missing Du Xixi. Yet, in her confusion, Miao Miao suddenly realized something.
The "sister" noted by Chen Yin was none other than "Xixi"!
"Ah!" Miao Miao exclaimed, quickly pushing Chen Yin to accept the invitation. In their fluster, they ended up unable to hit the button, even knocking over the official documents, turning the pavilion into a chaotic mess for a moment.
