My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 650 - 219: Distress, Lost Contact_2

The white ceiling, the white walls, Du Xixi raised her hand and looked, only to feel that her usually porcelain-white skin was, today, as white as deathly ash, completely bloodless.

Her strength had returned, and the Purification Talent within her was at work; she could feel her body gradually warming up, yet the discomfort in her heart lingered, refusing to dissipate.

Du Xixi bit her lower lip lightly, struggling a bit to sit up, when a large hand carefully supported her arm and shoulder. When Du Xixi looked, it was the somewhat haggard face of Chen Yin. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Xixi?" Chen Yin supported Du Xixi, and without needing to say much, Rob, standing by, had already consciously raised the bed’s backboard, allowing Du Xixi to lean back with ease.

Du Xixi swallowed a mouthful of saliva; her mouth wasn’t dry, indicating someone must have fed her water. She carefully caressed her lower abdomen with both hands, and the slightly protruding pregnant belly gave her a sense of reassurance. The child was fine, and she also felt her health was okay, so what exactly caused her to faint suddenly?

"Brother? What’s wrong with me?" Du Xixi softly inquired from the side of Chen Yin, who seemed momentarily unable to speak, as he covered Du Xixi with the fallen blanket while contemplating something.

After a while, it seemed that Chen Yin had finished his internal struggle. He looked up, first sighed toward Du Xixi, then said somewhat apologetically, "Xixi, I’m sorry, but Ke Lian had an accident three days ago, around the time you fainted."

Ke Lian had an accident! Du Xixi felt severely struck by those five words, and almost in an instant, her complexion turned pale again, as if even her strong Purification Talent couldn’t help her recover.

Chen Yin knew there was no hiding this matter from Du Xixi. As Ke Lian’s wife, even if Chen Yin and the others wanted to protect her, worried about the great impact this would have on her, she still had to be informed of it.

Chen Yin continued, "Ke Lian’s accident was just an unforeseen incident. A wormhole suddenly appeared on the battlefield after they had just finished a battle. Right after their victory, as they were planning to clean up the battlefield, the suddenly appearing wormhole sucked them in. In total, 325,000 troops and among them, only Ke Lian, Mo Feng, and a few other officers who were gathered to discuss subsequent strategies were taken by the wormhole."

"It’s strange, this wormhole hasn’t appeared in records for the past ten millennia, but just so happened to appear three days ago. Our technical team has been working on it for three days but still can’t contact Ke Lian and the others. And your sudden fainting..." As he said this, Chen Yin’s expression turned odd, "The examination report shows everything’s normal. Your health condition is just as normal as it was during your previous pregnancy tests. It’s as if you fainted because you sensed that Ke Lian was in an accident, a sort of empathetic reaction."

As for such claims of telepathy, Chen Yin didn’t believe in them. He thought it was just an unspoken understanding between those in love. However, Du Xixi’s fainting was so coincidental that no amount of scientific research could explain her situation. In the end, Chen Yin himself could only admit this might be that so-called ’telepathy’ between Du Xixi and Ke Lian.

Thinking of this, Chen Yin snorted coldly and told the already fazed Du Xixi, "As I see it, this telepathy is really undesirable. Look, Ke Lian got into trouble, and it even caused you to faint at home."

Du Xixi didn’t know whether she should feel sad about Ke Lian’s accident or find amusement in Chen Yin’s joke. Her mouth bitterly curled up, forming a smile uglier than crying.

The atmosphere grew silent for a moment. Chen Yin tried hard to comfort Du Xixi, but he had always been someone who couldn’t comfort others well. The eloquence he had before others didn’t help at all in this moment.

He watched Du Xixi’s gradually reddening eyes and the falling tear drops like pearls and eventually sighed, pulling Du Xixi onto his shoulder, lending his shoulder for her to lean on.

"For someone so grown up, you still drop little pearls like this..." Chen Yin patted Du Xixi’s back one stroke at a time. Back on Blue Star, when Du Xixi occasionally had emotional outbursts, he would coax her like this, always effective, "Keep crying and brother will laugh at you."

In the past, Du Xixi would have stopped crying immediately, then proudly lifted her head, refusing to let Chen Yin laugh at her. But today, these tears were destined not to stop. It was as if Du Xixi poured all the tears from her heart out, dropping them one by one onto Chen Yin’s clothes, making even Chen Yin choke up slightly.
