The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 493: The Recognized Xiao He

"One, two, three, four, like a song!"

"Green military camp, green military camp, taught me."

...

The familiar lyrics, the familiar melody.

In the cantina, in one corner, Xiong Da belting out a "one, two, three, four" so loudly that the chopsticks in Dou Dou’s hand got scared and fell to the ground.

But Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe were calm, one sitting composedly, the other with a rare ease, watching the singer.

From the corner of his eye, Nian Shutong looked at Fu Yunhe, whose eyes held a familiar sense of comfort. He was missing the military camp.

Indeed, a man who spent his entire life living and striving in that camp, that was the life he was most familiar with.

"One, two, three, four!"

After the final "one, two, three, four" ended, all the soldiers sat upright. At the call to start the meal, their movements were quicker than ever.

Judging by their expressions, the food must have been good that day.

In the corner, Xiong Da, with his mountain-like frame, sat down and nodded at Nian Shutong, saying, "Let’s eat too."

"Alright."

Nian Shutong, Fu Yunhe, and Dou Dou all picked up their chopsticks. Dou Dou even got a new pair and started eating obediently.

The three were using plates, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

They had grown accustomed to this taste; to be precise, the food they ate every day on Blue Star was even better.

But for Xiong Da, it wasn’t the same. Although their food had improved a lot lately thanks to Nian Shutong, he still adored such fine dishes.

"This is delicious, much better than that steamed stuff."

Xiong Da picked up a shrimp and in two or three quick bites removed the head and spat out the shell.

Such skilled movements couldn’t be perfected without eating thousands of shrimp.

Nian Shutong picked up a shrimp tail from his plate and said to Xiong Da, "After we return, I’ll prepare more of these seasoning packets for you. You can’t eat well when you’re out on missions, but when you’re back, you should enjoy a little."

"That would be great, thank you."

Xiong Da was not bashful and accepted the offer directly.

After they finished eating, they took their plates to the designated area, but Xiong Da praised Fu Yunhe, "You’ve really got a good eye, to remember the way after just one walk through."

"It’s alright."

Fu Yunhe replied modestly. Sure, he had a good observation skill, but everything here he was so familiar with he could find his way with his eyes closed.

Now, he was really restraining his instincts.

The group followed Xiong Da to a rest room. Xiong Da didn’t stay long and said to them, "You rest here. I’ll call you when we arrive."

"Alright, thanks."

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Uncle Xiong Da."

Xiong Da gave Dou Dou a grin, showing his teeth before leaving. It wasn’t often he met a child who wasn’t afraid of him.

Inside the rest room, things settled into quietness.

Nian Shutong didn’t speak right away but glanced at Fu Yunhe.

Fu Yunhe understood and said, "It’s safe to talk. There’s none." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

No surveillance or monitoring.

Nian Shutong nodded and said, "We will alight at the Transfer Station and head back to Blue Star first."

"Alright."

Nian Shutong said nothing more, as they were aboard another’s starship. They’d talk more when they got home.

This trip they considered a complete success: they’d gotten money, Crystal Stones, and had put one over on the Chi Family.

A perfect finish, time to go home.

In the rest room, the three of them were there, and Dou Dou, tired, took a short nap.

Fu Yunhe just sat quietly by the window, gazing outside, his thoughts a mystery.

Nian Shutong, on the other hand, closed her eyes to rest, mulling over some matters.

Three hours later, they arrived at the Transfer Station.

Nian Shutong and her two companions were ready; when Xiong Da came to call them, they went straight to the starship’s doorway.

"I’ll just dock for a moment; I won’t be coming down."

"That’s natural, thank you."

Nian Shutong knew Xiong Da and his crew were on their way back to complete a mission. The fact that they could give a few people a lift, or rather provide a segment of the journey, was already quite good.

The starship slowly approached the Transfer Station, its Legion insignia conspicuously displayed, prompting other flying devices and starships to make way.

When the starship landed, the crowd that gathered, expecting to see soldiers, only saw a family of three, exceedingly attractive, step down from the starship.

"Eh? Isn’t that a Legion starship?"

"Indeed, it’s marked with Legion 777."

"Could those three be family members?"

"Perhaps."

"They’re ridiculously good-looking."

"Tell me about it!"

The people below and some from neighboring starships watched the trio intently.

Two adults and a child, a perfect composition, a perfect demeanor—they were simply too eye-catching.

So much so that some people found Fu Yunhe strangely familiar.

Fu Yunhe’s current appearance hadn’t changed much, but his aura, combined with his improved health, gave his features a slight variation.

Nevertheless, those familiar with him could still recognize him.

And right at that moment, someone from the Nian Family recognized Fu Yunhe.

As for Nian Shutong at his side, he claimed to have never seen her before.

At that moment, the man from the Nian Family, aboard a flying device, gradually descended and disembarked.

After getting off, he edged closer to Fu Yunhe several times, finally confirming that the man was indeed Fu Yunhe.

There couldn’t be another person with that appearance.

The Nian Family man was shocked internally—Fu Yunhe was alive?

He was also a confidant of the Nian Family, aware of their current precarious state.

The sudden rise of Little River Live had fundamentally shaken the Nian Family’s position in the sugarcane business.

Even though they had purchased a large quantity of sugarcane, it wasn’t harvest season yet, so nothing was certain.

Now, the Nian Family was seeking a transformation, not wanting to hang its fate on a single sugarcane stalk; they had to prepare a backup.

The man knew one thing: the previous Family Head had intended to give Fu Yunhe away but hadn’t, owing to his poor health.

But the Tang Family, previously in contact, was now also preoccupied, likewise due to Little River Live.

However, the Nian Family’s current backing wasn’t the Tang Family, and those they were in contact with also had peculiar tastes, fascinated only by beautiful things.

Be it objects or people, he was infatuated.

An obsession so intense it bordered on pathological.

It was said he once stripped a beautiful face right off the living person, preserving it with chemicals.

The Nian Family was relentlessly searching for "beauty," but this man thought, what could be more beautiful than Fu Yunhe?

The answer was nothing.

The man prepared to contact the Nian Family Patriarch, yet he faced another question: who was the woman with the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye?

Could she be the one supporting Fu Yunhe?

The man didn’t know for sure and merely followed from a distance.

He saw Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe board a starship and hurried to the ticket counter, where, with the allure of some money, he inquired about their destination.

"This place, isn’t it near that Wasted Planet?"
