The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress-Chapter 887 - 865: Interstellar Superstar 35

Xiao Mei was thinking about how to comfort Mrs. Xiao, when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiao Yuan, who had just stepped down the stairs.

She was startled and covered her mouth, looking incredulous.

Xiao Yuan walked closer, and Xiao Mei finally screamed, "Big brother, big brother you..."

"What’s wrong with your big brother?"

Mrs. Xiao couldn’t worry about crying, she stood up and was about to go upstairs to see Xiao Yuan.

At the same time, Marshal Xiao also got up.

The two of them almost turned around simultaneously and saw Xiao Yuan walking slowly towards them.

"Eldest."

Mrs. Xiao screamed and fell backward.

Xiao Mei quickly supported Mrs. Xiao.

Marshal Xiao looked at Xiao Yuan and couldn’t help but shed tears, "Good, good, it’s good that you’re awake."

Mrs. Xiao collected herself, took a few steps forward to Xiao Yuan, and touched his face, "A Yuan, how do you feel? Does anything hurt?"

Mrs. Xiao asked cautiously, she hardly dared to touch Xiao Yuan, fearing that everything in front of her was a dream, and once she woke up, it would all disappear. Her eldest son would still be lying in bed, his fate uncertain.

"Mom, I’m fine."

Xiao Yuan smiled and held Mrs. Xiao’s hand to touch his cheek, "Feel it, my face is warm, I’m really fine."

"Brother."

Xiao Mei now realized Xiao Yuan was indeed awake. She cried and hugged Xiao Yuan, hiccupping because she cried so much, "Brother, you’re finally awake, it’s really great, you’re finally awake."

Xiao Yuan hugged Xiao Mei with a smile, "Brother’s awake, don’t cry, I will always protect you, always."

Only then did Xiao Mei break into a smile.

Xiao Yuan went up to Marshal Xiao and saluted, "Reporting to the Grand Marshal, Alliance Marshal Xiao Yuan reporting."

Marshal Xiao wiped his tears, "Good, how is your physical recovery?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "I’ve fully recovered, my spiritual power too, and I request to go to the frontline again."

Mrs. Xiao’s heart tightened upon hearing this, she wanted to say something but was stopped by Xiao Mei.

Going to the frontline to kill the Insect Clan and protect the people of the Alliance is the destiny of the Xiao men, no one can stop it.

Moreover, Xiao Yuan is the commander of all Alliance forces, his mission is to protect the safety of the Alliance, as long as he has a breath left, he will go to the battlefield.

Mrs. Xiao understood this too; she glanced at Xiao Mei and swallowed the thousand words in her throat.

"Go to the Headquarters and report, once the leader approves, head to Raya Star."

Xiao Yuan was awake, Marshal Xiao didn’t even have much time to talk with him before sending him away again.

His mood was heavy; he was a father who, because of duty, had to repeatedly send his son to the battlefield. That feeling was truly terrible.

Xiao Yuan saluted again, went upstairs to change his clothes, and then left in a starship.

He communicated with Anning on the starship, "Wait for me, let’s go together."

"Alright."

Anning had already packed her things, and upon receiving Xiao Yuan’s message, she stayed at home waiting for him.

She waited for about an hour or so, not only for Xiao Yuan but also Cui Anlin and Fang Xiaolian.

Cui Anlin pulled Fang Xiaolian into the house and said directly to Anning, "I can’t handle you guys, so I have no choice but to accompany you with my life. I’ve also applied to go to the frontline, and I’ll go with you."

Anning wanted to say something, but seeing the firmness in Cui Anlin’s eyes, she smiled and nodded, "Please take care of us."

Fang Xiaolian didn’t speak to Anning.

She still didn’t like Anning, but at this moment, she wouldn’t say anything unpleasant either.

Cui Zhengxun and Li Wanwan looked at the four young people in the living room, feeling both heartache and a headache.

Li Wanwan tidied up Anning’s luggage, then went over to straighten Cui Anlin’s collar, "Be careful on the frontline, you’re siblings, take care of each other, I hope you all come back safely."

She turned to Fang Xiaolian and smiled, "Child, take care on the journey, I hope you’ll return safely."

Fang Xiaolian nodded with a smile, "Thank you."

Cui Zhengxun then walked up to Xiao Yuan, about to bow, but Xiao Yuan quickly supported him.

Cui Zhengxun looked directly at Xiao Yuan, "Marshal Xiao, I entrust these three kids to you."

"Alright."

Xiao Yuan just said one word, but this one word carried a promise weightier than gold.

The four of them left the Cuis, piloting a starship to the port.

A group of soldiers had already gathered here, with several warships ready for departure.

Xiao Yuan led Anning and the other three onto the largest of the warships. He stood in the command room and ordered all warships to take off immediately.

This time, to prevent a violent assault from the Insect Clan, a large number of reinforcements were sent, leading to almost every room in the warship being occupied.

Anning and Fang Xiaolian were assigned to one room.

The two entered the small room, placed their luggage, and prepared to rest after tidying the bunk.

Fang Xiaolian went out for a while, then returned with a few bottles of water.

She tossed two bottles to Anning.

Anning said nothing, just opened it and drank.

Fang Xiaolian’s actions didn’t falter. She asked Anning casually, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll poison you? After all, we both don’t like each other."

Anning took a sip of water, "I trust you."

Fang Xiaolian was somewhat annoyed, "Trust, my ass. What are you to me that you’d trust me like that? Let me tell you, even siblings have days when they can’t endure each other."

Anning put down the bottle with a smile, "You can forget personal safety to go to the frontline, showing your heart holds the greater good of the nation. You understand the importance, and in this moment, you won’t harm your comrades."

She spoke to Fang Xiaolian each word with deliberation, "Once on the frontline, comrades become those you can entrust your life to. I won’t let minor grievances stop me from trusting my comrades. If I can’t even drink the water you hand me, I might be the first to die on the frontline."

Fang Xiaolian looked at Anning seriously.

At this moment, she had to admit Anning was more courageous and had a broader perspective.

"Now I see, you’re not so bad after all."

Fang Xiaolian said softly, "On the battlefield, we’re comrades. I’ll remember that. But if we both come back from the frontline alive, I’ll still be against you."

"I’ll accompany you anytime."

Anning said with a smile, then lay down and slept fully dressed.

Fang Xiaolian clenched her fists.

Anning was right. Even if Fang Xiaolian was narrow-minded and not a good person, she wouldn’t hinder someone risking their life to fight against the Insect Clan invasion. If she did something to Anning now, she’d never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Though Fang Xiaolian had transmigrated, she’d been born in New China and raised under the red flag, educated with patriotism. She understood the greater good of the nation.

After three days and two nights of travel, the warship finally arrived at Raya Star.

When the warship docked at Raya Star and they stepped out, Fang Xiaolian almost collapsed.

Watching livestreams on the Star Network and seeing the actual scene were truly incomparable.

Fang Xiaolian thought she’d find the livestream footage hard to bear, but reality was even more overwhelming, making all her mental preparations waver.
