Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 674 - 364: Fate (5 in 1)_6

"Hurry up and eat, it’ll taste bad if it gets cold."

"Okay!"

Su Ming immediately lowered his head and began to eat.

At that moment, a floating luxury car passed over their heads. A young man in the car looked down and saw Su Ming and Lin Chuyu. Excitedly, he shouted to the person in the passenger seat.

"Brother, look! A beauty!"

"Where?"

"Over by the street vendor!"

"Wow, she really is a beauty. But what a pity, such a beautiful girl eating at a street vendor."

"So envious!"

...

Late at night.

Su Ming and Lin Chuyu took the Star Track Train back to the Blackthorn Planet Fortress.

The two strolled along the street.

Unknowingly, they arrived at a dormitory building.

Lin Chuyu stopped and mustered the courage to speak to Su Ming.

"I live here now, would you like to come up for a glass of water?"

"Sure!"

Su Ming nodded slightly in agreement.

Lin Chuyu led Su Ming to the third floor and opened a door.

"Come in."

"Sorry to disturb."

Su Ming followed Lin Chuyu into the room.

It was a small 25-square-meter place, with a separate bathroom and kitchen. The living room and bedroom were connected.

Although the room wasn’t large, Lin Chuyu had it arranged very cozily, with plenty of stuffed toys on the sofa.

"Sit anywhere, I’ll get you some water."

Lin Chuyu walked to the coffee table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Su Ming.

"Thank you!"

Su Ming extended his hand, ready to take the cup.

At that moment, Little Gray suddenly jumped out of Su Ming’s pocket, excitedly bouncing around the room.

"Ah!"

Lin Chuyu was startled, and the cup slipped from her hand.

Su Ming reacted quickly, catching the cup.

Lin Chuyu snapped out of it and hurriedly asked.

"Are you okay? Did it spill on you?"

"I’m fine. Little Gray, come back."

Su Ming, a little exasperated, called to Little Gray.

Little Gray immediately jumped into Su Ming’s hand, tilting its head and looking at Lin Chuyu with its big Karzilan eyes.

"Su Ming, is this your pet?"

Lin Chuyu asked, somewhat surprised, looking at Little Gray.

"Yes, its name is Little Gray."

Su Ming introduced with a smile.

"It looks so cute."

Lin Chuyu admired Little Gray, speaking affectionately.

Seeing Lin Chuyu compliment it, Little Gray flapped its wings and flew into Lin Chuyu’s arms.

Lin Chuyu immediately cradled it.

Little Gray started to act adorably, constantly snuggling against Lin Chuyu.

"So well-behaved."

Lin Chuyu happily petted its head.

"As long as you like it."

Su Ming watched the scene, showing a resigned smile.

Lin Chuyu then sat beside Su Ming, petting Little Gray’s head while chatting with Su Ming.

"Su Ming, we haven’t seen each other for over half a year, right?"

"Pretty much, since that night we had dinner together."

Su Ming nodded in response.

"Actually, after that night, I went looking for you but couldn’t find you. Later, I heard you were conscripted."

Lin Chuyu spoke to Su Ming.

"Yes, I didn’t expect to be assigned a mission either. The half-year just flew by."

Su Ming was also a bit surprised, not expecting Lin Chuyu had looked for him.

"How has this half-year been? Did you face any danger?"

Lin Chuyu asked with concern.

"It was okay, there was some danger, but within manageable limits."

Su Ming replied casually, not wanting Lin Chuyu to worry.

"That’s good."

Lin Chuyu nodded.

At that moment, the fairy clock on the wall chimed.

Dong!

Lin Chuyu glanced at the clock; it had unknowingly become midnight.

She said to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, it’s late, why don’t you stay here tonight?"

"Is it okay?"

"It’s fine, you can sleep in my room."

"No need, I’ll sleep on the couch; I can make do for a night."

Su Ming shook his head in response.

"Alright, but if it’s uncomfortable, you can join me...."

Lin Chuyu said softly, cheeks slightly red.

"What? What did you say?"

Su Ming asked, puzzled.

Lin Chuyu looked up, only to see Su Ming already lying on the couch. She sighed slightly and said.

"Never mind, have a good rest."

"Okay."

Su Ming replied, a bit confused.

....

The next morning.

Knock knock!

A series of urgent knocks woke Su Ming. He got up from the couch and opened the door.

"Chuyu, you promised we’d go shopping together, you...."

An Ruoxue scolded angrily.

She stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing it was Su Ming who opened the door, and was stunned.

"Oh my god, Su Ming?"

"An Ruoxue?"

Su Ming was equally surprised to see her.

Lin Chuyu, wearing a white sleep gown, walked over from inside. Seeing An Ruoxue at the door, she spoke.

"An Ruoxue, you’re here."

"So it’s like that! Chuyu! No wonder you were acting so weird yesterday and stood me up! Turns out Su Ming came, and you didn’t even tell me. You really prioritize love over friendship."

An Ruoxue scolded with her hands on her hips.

Su Ming looked at the lively An Ruoxue and suddenly thought of something. Given Lin Chuyu’s personality, she wouldn’t use him to evade difficulty, which meant the friend who claimed he was her boyfriend must be An Ruoxue.

The more Su Ming thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"Sorry, I wasn’t thinking much yesterday."

Lin Chuyu apologized to An Ruoxue.

"Forget it, I won’t be angry anymore. Make it up to me with another shopping trip later."

An Ruoxue calmed down after seeing Lin Chuyu’s apology.

"Alright."

Lin Chuyu nodded.

"Oh, Su Ming, got something to share with you."

An Ruoxue proudly said to Su Ming.

"What is it?"

Su Ming asked, intrigued. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Both Lin Chuyu and I have joined the headquarters Special Warfare Department. We’re both majors now, same rank as you. From now on, we’re equals."

An Ruoxue said with a grin.

Su Ming heard An Ruoxue’s words and smiled playfully. He didn’t want to discourage her and responded with a smile.

"Alright, Major An."

"Alright, no chatting now, I came to get Chuyu because we have a sudden Biological Machine training session. We should hurry."

An Ruoxue glanced at her wristband and hurriedly said.

"A sudden training session? Su Ming, I need to get back to headquarters fast; it might be late when I return."

Lin Chuyu quickly said to Su Ming.

"No problem, you go ahead. I’ll go meet a friend meanwhile."

Su Ming waved his hand dismissively.

"Let’s go, we’re running late. Su Ming, catch you later."

An Ruoxue hurriedly pulled Lin Chuyu away.
