I Guarantee They Will Return Safely

A few hours later.

A knock came from the door of the old house where Su Wen lived.

"Are you still inside?"

A girl's clear, cold voice sounded.

But there was no reply.

This made Jiang Menghan a little worried, but if it were just worry, no one could see it in her expression at all.

She thought for a moment.

She took a key from the second old flower pot on the left side of the door.

Then she decisively inserted the key and opened the door.

After opening the door.

Jiang Menghan went up to the second floor via the stairwell, where Su Wen's slight snores could be heard.

After a day and a night of hard fighting.

He was really tired.

He had fallen into a deep sleep without taking off his clothes and hugging the quilt.

The air conditioner in the room was set to 22 degrees.

After all.

The end of summer in Jiangnan was still a bit hot.

The girl sat on the edge of the bed, carefully looking at his sleeping figure.

For some reason.

A faint smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Idiot."

She picked up the air conditioner remote control that Su Wen had placed on the desk, and turned the temperature to 26 degrees in silent mode.

Then she gently pulled the corner of the quilt for him, covering the areas that were easily chilled.

Before long.

Su Wen smelled a strange fragrance in the room.

He woke up from his sleep.

He heard the faint sound of the range hood coming from the kitchen downstairs.

So he tidied up his clothes and walked down the stairs.

In the kitchen.

Jiang Menghan was wearing an apron and cooking.

And on the dining table, two Jiangnan delicacies, full of color and fragrance, had already been placed:

One was West Lake Vinegar Fish with a rich and attractive sauce color.

The other was Longjing Shrimp, exuding a delicate fragrance and without too many impurities.

Smelling the fragrance throughout the dining room.

Su Wen immediately felt hungry. He walked to the kitchen.

Rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Then he asked the beautiful girl in the room:

"How did you get in?"

"Of course, you allowed it."

The ice-cold girl gently pointed to the old key on the kitchen windowsill, which was covered with a little dust.

She replied in a clear and calm voice:

"You told me that to prevent yourself from being unable to enter the house, you put a spare key in the second flower pot next to the window."

Su Wen smiled dumbfounded, "I told you just to share my living habits, really no other meaning."

"Then have you told a second person?"

"No."

"That's good."

A fleeting softness appeared in the girl's clear and cold words, but she quickly returned to normal.

She then said briefly, "Soy sauce."

Su Wen tacitly took out soy sauce from the condiments and handed it to her.

It was a brand new, just-opened bottle of soy sauce.

As a good young man of the new era with the ideal of muddling through life, he naturally ate all his meals in the cafeteria, and the soy sauce he bought was purely for decoration.

Never thought it would actually be used one day.

Touching.

Not long after.

The last dish, Dongpo Pork, was also ready.

Su Wen sat at the dining table, feeling that it had been a long time since he had eaten such delicious food.

He scooped rice and placed it on the table, then watched Jiang Menghan take off her apron and hang it back in its place, revealing her beautiful figure as she sat down.

Then he asked:

"Miss Jiang, when did you learn to cook? I remember the zongzi you made in high school were simply appalling."

Hearing Su Wen say this, Jiang Menghan gave him a beautiful glare, "I specifically learned to cook so I could put poison in the food and kill some bastard who doesn't return calls and makes people worry."

Hearing her tone, which was two parts dissatisfaction and three parts coquetry, Su Wen leisurely smiled and put a piece of meat in his bowl, then couldn't help but take a bite, and said vaguely, "If such delicious food is really poisoned, then just let it kill me."

Looking at his appearance, Jiang Menghan's eyes also showed a faint smile, "Is it really that delicious?"

"Of course, why don't you come to my house and be a chef?"

Su Wen joked.

"I guarantee, you'll definitely be the head chef."

"Dream on."

The girl replied coolly, looking at the boy.

"My father is preparing to come back in the next few days,"

"Professor Jiang? Compared to my old man and mom who I don't know where they went, Professor Jiang is indeed a respectable scientist."

Su Wen took out two cans of iced cola from the refrigerator, opened one of the cans and handed it to Jiang Menghan, and then opened the other can himself.

The girl took it very naturally.

The two were incredibly tacit in these matters.

Then, She continued:

"My father's scientific research activities are highly classified, and I only recently learned that the ship he was on, the 'Voyager,' is about to return to Binhai Port."

[Voyager]

One of Hua Xia's highest-ranked relic exploration ships.

Hearing this extremely familiar name, Su Wen understood and also felt a sense of relief. He took a sip of cola, and then said in a comforting tone, "Professor Jiang will definitely return safely."

"You can't even ensure your own reasonable rest."

The girl looked at him earnestly with her beautiful eyes.

Su Wen knew she was concerned about him.

So he spoke with a gentler attitude:

"On the day of the return, I'll stay with you in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast."

"Mm."

She didn't refuse.

Instead, she felt a little more at ease.

"Of course, lunch that day is up to you."

As far as Su Wen was concerned, He had to take care of the ice beauty's emotions.

But, he couldn't miss such delicious food either.

A few days passed.

Compared to the gradually receding heat of the [Westminster Equality Act] proposed by the Duke of Bavaria, which was slowly being included in the agendas of various countries, the steady advancement of Transcendent individuals in civilized society became more prominent.

Simultaneously, online discussions about 'relic expeditions' began to increase.

In Hua Xia, particularly in Jiangnan, over 70% of the headlines were promoting the imminent return of the 'Voyager':

[Voyager Expedition Ship Achieves Major Breakthroughs, Establishes Partnership with Aseia Life Technology]

[Expedition Team Led by Professor Qi Ming Makes Significant Progress in Paleontological Research]

[Cambrian Explosion of Life? Speculations on the Origin of Life and Transcendent Evolution]

[The Scientists Studying Transcendent Relics, Deserving of Remembrance by Everyone - This Issue's Biographical Feature: Qi Ming, Jiang Xiuyuan]

Meanwhile, the Meteorological Bureau also began reporting on the Super Typhoon 'Ewiniar' brewing in the Pacific Ocean:

(According to the Yun Province Meteorological Department, starting from 9:00 AM local time, "Ewiniar" is moving northwest by north at a speed of 35 kilometers per hour from approximately 30 kilometers southeast of the Yun Province coast.

Perhaps, this will become a "dangerous typhoon never before experienced" in the Binhai-Yun Province area.

The Meteorological Department also predicts that the entire Yun Province area may experience record-breaking winds, heavy rain, or storms, and a heavy rain special alert may be issued for the entire Yun Province area, urging the public to take refuge as soon as possible.)

Eight days into the game's progress.

The future.

Arrived as promised.

Su Wen was helping the ice-cold beauty Jiang Menghan wash vegetables.

Looking at the dark clouds blanketing the distance, Jiang Menghan said worriedly:

"The Voyager planned its route, leaving a buffer zone in advance for the possibility of the hurricane's impact area expanding from Yun Province to the coastal areas of Binhai, and also changed its course, so it should be fine, right?"

"Don't worry."

He looked calmly into the distance and said, "I believe Professor Jiang will definitely return safely."

At that moment.

A mechanical prompt sounded from the unmanned master control area of Lighthouse 43 in the BHX District:

[First light path test run, start]

Then.

An extremely dazzling beam of light flashed for an instant.

[Self-check successful]

[All facilities at the unmanned island sanctuary are in good condition and ready to meet the attack]

[Repeat, ready to meet the attack]
