The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 439 - 438: Haven’t You Eaten?

Ms. Nian Shutong’s action of blinking and rubbing her ears was caught by Rubble.

"Ms. Nian Shutong, are your ears and eyes uncomfortable?"

"Rubble can conduct a full body check-up for you, to ensure your health."

Ms. Nian Shutong smiled at Rubble in front of her.

"Rubble, I’m fine."

"Also, I’ve forgiven you this time, and I accept your apology."

Ms. Nian Shutong’s friendly attitude caused Rubble’s eyes to contract, about to speak, but her next words made Rubble lower his head again.

"But Rubble, listen clearly, understand it with your scientifically precise brain, and remember."

"If you dare hurt yourself again, then you must leave Blue Star."

The smile on Ms. Nian Shutong’s face disappeared bit by bit, the emotion in her eyes was unclear, but the seriousness of it made Rubble understand she was not joking.

Rubble bowed his head, unwillingly muttered, "I understand."

"I understand?" That won’t do.

Ms. Nian Shutong was not satisfied with such a response, and she spoke again.

"Rubble, lift your head."

Rubble could not defy Ms. Nian Shutong’s words and had to lift his head, his mechanical face somehow showing a glimpse of grievance.

"Rubble, I want you to promise in the name of the Mechanical Clan never to engage in self-harming actions, not to use yourself for experiments, do you understand?"

Rubble felt somewhat conflicted. Why couldn’t he use himself for experiments? In Rubble’s view, he was just conducting research.

"Rubble—"

Ms. Nian Shutong’s gaze was piercing, unwavering as she stared at Rubble.

"If you don’t agree, then leave."

Ms. Nian Shutong walked past Rubble, seemingly not sparing him any time to decide.

"I agree! Rubble agrees."

Rubble just felt his heart panic for a moment, a throbbing pain.

He did not want to leave Blue Star, did not want to part from Ms. Nian Shutong.

"Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble promises in the name of the Mechanical Clan not to engage in self-harming experiments, not to use himself for experiments."

Ms. Nian Shutong, who was parallel to Rubble but facing in a different direction, turned her body to look at him.

"Good, I believe you. But please also remember, I may not be of the Mechanical Clan, but what I say, I will do."

"If you break this promise, be expelled from Blue Star."

Ms. Nian Shutong did not give Rubble the slightest smile as she walked away briskly.

This guy, being so difficult just now, must already have been harbouring the idea of experimenting on himself, or perhaps was already preparing to do so.

It seemed she had to inquire with Ji Sisi, examining the straightforward Rubble.

Ms. Nian Shutong strode away, and Rubble, like a child who had done something wrong, stood there feeling a bit lost.

Dou Dou was the first to run over, grabbing onto one of Rubble’s fingers.

"Uncle Wali, you must listen to Auntie! Auntie is the strongest!"

"Yes, Ms. Nian Shutong is the strongest." Rubble agreed very much so on this point; he indeed had plans to study some things because he wanted to better protect Blue Star.

Rubble felt that if there were more robots like him, with smart brains and powerful weapons, they would be very helpful to Ms. Nian Shutong.

But if Ms. Nian Shutong didn’t like it, then perhaps Rubble should not start at all.

Rubble decided that he would still become the strongest Mecha, making many mechas and weapons for Blue Star.

Having made his decision, Rubble was no longer downhearted and went to the dining table with Dou Dou to have a meal.

Meanwhile, Ms. Nian Shutong, who had found Ji Sisi, learned after questioning that Ji Sisi also did not know what Rubble was researching.

The gap between them was like that between a postdoctoral fellow and a primary school student—entirely different worlds.

"Mr. Nian, don’t worry, I will definitely study harder and keep a close eye on Master Wali."

Nian Shutong looked at Ji Sisi, who was making promises, and casually asked, "You don’t mind?"

"What’s there to mind?" Ji Sisi was full of confusion. What was there for her to mind?

"You don’t mind me making you keep an eye on Rubble."

Ji Sisi shook her head, answering as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "Why would I mind that? Blue Star belongs to Mr. Nian, so of course, we should listen to the elder."

"You’re absolutely right. Keep it up," Nian Shutong said with a pleased pat on Ji Sisi’s head before turning and taking her own seat.

Ji Sisi happily touched the spot where Nian Shutong had just patted, her heart leaping with the thought: Mr. Nian praised me!

She merrily settled into her seat, limbs in sync.

Everyone gradually came out, ready for dinner.

As soon as Elder Hua came out and saw Nian Shutong, he only called out, "Boss is back!" Nian Shutong nodded.

Lin Mu, carrying his Heavy Sword, greeted Nian Shutong routinely, "You’re back."

"Back."

With that exchange between them finished, everyone else had their turns speaking, and dinner began.

"Delicious!"

"Ha Ha, eat slower!"

"Dou Dou, you’ve got food all over your face."

"Ji Sisi, did you eat one less? Why isn’t it an even number?"

"Lin Mu, have some soup. Don’t choke!"

Nian Shutong was enjoying her meal until she saw the way these few people were eating. She seriously wondered who it was that had gone out.

Who was it that didn’t have hot meals to eat? Why were each of them eating even more ferociously than she was?

After Nian Shutong had said a few words of caution and looked down again,

"Goodness! Are you a pack of wolves?"

"Leave some for me!"

Nian Shutong joined the fray to grab food, fearing there would be none left if she didn’t.

Ha Ha, who was mentioned, paused for a moment and offhandedly said to Nian Shutong, "Good person, Ha Ha’s a wolf, they’re not!"

After finishing his sentence, Ha Ha continued eating.

Nian Shutong had no time to respond. She glanced at Ha Ha, thinking that this wolf was eating the most!

Once dinner was over, the soup in the dishes had been divided and mixed with rice by everyone.

Nian Shutong felt the bowl wouldn’t be too dirty even if it wasn’t washed.

"Let me ask, have you all been on a collective diet these past few days? Haven’t you been eating?"

Nian Shutong looked at them with suspicion. They exchanged glances, and Rubble was the first to speak.

"Rubble has been updating the database recently, so there wasn’t much need to collect data."

"Dou Dou missed auntie so much that I couldn’t bring myself to eat!"

"Yes! I missed the Eldest just like Dou Dou!"

Ji Sisi and Dou Dou, with their similar faces, one bigger and one smaller, candidly expressed their longing.

After the two of them finished speaking, Elder Hua chimed in, "I’m getting older, so my appetite isn’t very good."

Nian Shutong’s gaze turned to Elder Hua, who had eaten four bowls of rice and claimed to have a poor appetite.

Right! You’re the teacher; you’re always right.

Lin Mu, who always spoke the least and remained silent, uttered just three words: "I’m sick."

The all-purpose "I’m sick." Nian Shutong thought that Lin Mu could use this excuse millions of times without ever changing it.

Ha Ha didn’t quite understand the game everyone was playing and honestly said, "I was afraid the good person would get mad and not come back, like the Commander."

Ha Ha’s words made the silent Fu Yunhe feel a pang in his heart.

"Ha Ha, I am your Commander!"

The words slipped out.
