Whether it was his nature or simply that he had always been used to shouldering heavy burdens, Welt Yang did not know how to tell so-called white lies.
"Is that so... Sigh..."
Himeko sighed softly, her gaze settling on Lin Feng with a hint of sympathy.
"Navigator Himeko, are you worried about me...? Thank you for your concern..."
The corners of Lin Feng's mouth lifted into a faint smile as he looked straight at Himeko's stunning face.
Himeko really was the sort of gentle older woman who put people at ease. Having come to understand a few things, Lin Feng had a very good impression of her too. At least, compared with the mercurial Herta, the woman before him was far more reliable, whether as a lover or a senior.
"Not really... Please don't get the wrong idea, newcomer."
"I'm just afraid you might suddenly explode one day and damage the Astral Express..."
"Pfft..."
Even Himeko could not quite hold herself back as she told a lie she did not mean, and a laugh escaped her naturally.
"How amazing, pom. So Himeko has a sense of humor too, pom..."
Pom-Pom glanced back and forth between Lin Feng and Himeko, making a rather ill-timed observation.
"Stare..."
Beside them, March 7th raised her delicate brows slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Himeko at her side as she stared somewhat absently.
Sure enough, there was something more to Lin Feng's relationship with Himeko.
Generally speaking, although Himeko was very patient and gentle with her fellow Nameless aboard the Astral Express, she rarely joked.
She was probably the sort of wise, elegant older woman who always understood the bigger picture and gave others a feeling as calm as still water.
"In that case, Navigator Himeko, why not just leave me on this frozen planet?"
