“How long before she wakes up?” Ning Yiyuan carried Mo Chu all the way back and gently placed her on the recliner.

“That depends on her. If her body is in good condition and she recovers quickly, she will naturally wake up quickly.” Seeing Ning Yiyuan’s rare gentleness, Zhong Wen’s reply became more detailed. “However, even if she doesn’t wake up quickly, she would wake up in two to three hours.”

“Mm.” Hearing this, Ning Yiyuan nodded and looked down at the girl on the recliner.

Mo Chu’s skin was very fair and smooth like jade. Ning Yiyuan suddenly had the urge to touch it. Her lively black eyes were closed, making his eyelashes curl and appear longer. Her slightly curled lips lost some of their blood, and for some reason, his heart ached for her.

“Ahem!” Zuo Lin pretended to clear his throat. The shock he felt was like a rushing flood. In his heart, his boss had always been a tough and stoic man. Why did he suddenly turn into a soft fool?

Look at that, tsk tsk. So embarrassing!

“What’s wrong?” Ning Yiyuan raised his head and put away the tenderness in his eyes. His face was serious.

“No, nothing.” Zuo Lin hid the smile in his eyes. He waved his hand and bumped into Zhong Wen, “Well, Boss… I’ll go out and check on those soldiers. I don’t know how they’re doing now.”

Zhong Wen was very helpful this time. He nodded in agreement. “Yes, we’ll go out first.”

It was rare for the Boss to be tempted. As subordinates, they could not be so blind as to stay here as a third wheel.

“That’s fine too.” Ning Yiyuan nodded in agreement.

When they left, only he and Mo Chu were left in the tent.

Looking at the girl sleeping on the recliner, Ning Yiyuan felt something strange. He had never hugged a member of the opposite sex before, but with this girl in his arms… It felt quite good. She was like a small ball, soft, fragrant, and extremely obedient.

Thinking of this, Ning Yiyuan suddenly felt his hands start to itch. Before he could react, his rough, big hand had already caressed Mo Ch’s cheek. That soft skin was even better than the most tender jasmine petals. Unconsciously, Ning Yiyuan gently fiddled with it a few more times.

Suddenly, his hand trembled.

Ning Yiyuan suddenly stiffened, and he immediately withdrew his hand. He looked as if nothing had happened, but his ears were slightly red. “You, you’re awake?”

Mo Chu, who was lying on the recliner, moved her eyes a few times. Her pair of black eyes opened. Perhaps she was still not fully awake, as her reaction was clearly a little sluggish.

This silly and cute look made Ning Yiyuan’s heart soften. He carefully helped Mo Chu up. He opened the nutrient solution in his hand and she slowly fed it into Mo Chu’s mouth. “It’s good that you’re awake. Come, eat something first.”

In her daze, Mo Chu subconsciously opened her mouth. However, when the bitter and disgusting liquid entered her mouth, a wave of disgust surged up.

“Wah!” Mo Chu reflexively spat out all the nutrient solution in her mouth.

“Boss, she vomited on you?!” Zuo Lin had been watching from the outside in high spirits. He was so surprised to see this scene that he had forgotten that he was eavesdropping. He suddenly cried out in shock.

Mo Chu’s vomit happened to land on Ning Yiyuan’s body and ruined his clothes.

It was also because of Zuo Lin’s stern cry that Mo Chu realized that she had caused trouble. Looking at Ning Yiyuan’s messy body, she could not help but wrinkle her face. “I’m sorry, can I compensate you for your clothes?”

Mo Chu finally understood that she had been saved. However, before she could thank him, she had already vomited all over his body. It was so awkward.

“It’s fine.” Ning Yiyuan did not mind. He handed the nutrient solution to Mo Chu. “Drink it first. I’ll go change my clothes.”

“No, there’s no need.” Looking at the nutrient solution that Ning Yiyuan handed over, Mo Chu’s already pale face turned paler. “I’m not hungry yet.”

“Don’t act like a child!” Ning Yiyuan frowned slightly. Her body was already so weak. Why was she not eating?

Act like a child? Mo Chu was speechless. She was already 16 or 17 years old. In the 21st century, she was only one step away from becoming an adult. However, in the Federation, where people lived for more than 300 years, she was clearly just a kid!

“There’s really no need.” Mo Chu shook her head and helplessly told the truth. “I’m allergic to this. Furthermore, I have food with me.”

“Allergic?” She was allergic to nutrient fluids? Ning Yiyuan frowned slightly. He had never heard of such a thing. He turned his head to look at Zhong Wen who was outside the door.

Zhong Wen was also curious. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing. Although it was a little strange, it was not completely impossible.

“Alright.” Hearing this, Ning Yiyuan put the nutrient fluids aside and said gently, “Then you should have a good rest first.”

“Okay.” Mo Chu nodded with a smile and looked around curiously. The tent had obviously been built not long ago, and there were many precision instruments inside it that were running non-stop. Unfortunately, to Mo Chu, they were just decorations.

“Are you feeling better?” Ning Yiyuan changed his clothes very quickly. He wore a military uniform, and it showed off his slender and strong figure. Coupled with his handsome face, it made Mo Chu blush slightly.

“Yes, much better.” Mo Chu lowered her head. “Well, thank you for saving me.”

If he really left her there alone, it would not take long for her to be devoured by magical beasts.

“It wasn’t us.” Since the Boss had already discovered their peeping, Zuo Lin simply walked in and did his best to help Ning Yiyuan gain a good impression. “It was the Boss who found you!”

“Oh, aren’t you…” Seeing Zuo Lin, Mo Chu recalled what had happened in the interstellar ship. She took a closer look at Ning Yiyuan’s handsome face and remembered the masked expert from before. “You’re the uncle from before!”

“Pfft!” Hearing the title of ‘uncle’, Zuo Lin immediately burst out laughing.

Uncle? This was probably the first time their Boss had been addressed like this. This little girl was really interesting!
