Chapter 1588: Salted Fish Just Lies Down
They looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say.
What Shun was thinking was that he had never comforted anyone before and he really had no idea what he should say or do at this moment.
Shi Li wondered how to explain why she was crying alone in the room.
The silence spread invisibly, becoming more and more awkward.
Finally, Shi Li cleared her throat and forced herself to speak, "Are you done?"
"Take a break, you're not done yet." Shun also continued the topic.
"Then, come in and sit for a while?" Shi Li didn't know why he came here, but it was not good to let him stand at the door all the time.
Shun followed her instructions and walked into the house.
The orange light was a color that Shi Li had specially adjusted. She had set the little robot next to it to have a pair of puppy-like starry eyes. When it sensed someone coming over, it said in a particularly cute way, "Nenhui is here! Nenhui is here!"
Shun: ...
Shi Li: !!!
She was in such a hurry to open the door that she forgot to turn the little robot back.
It was too late to do anything at this moment. Shi Li touched her head awkwardly and said, "I'm really bored..."
"It's okay." Shun didn't know why, but when he looked at this strange robot and then at Shi Li, he actually felt a sense of relaxation in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
He asked the little robot to bring two glasses of water. He listened to the little robot speaking in a strange accent and also laughed.
Shi Li came over and saw his smile, and was a little flustered for a moment.
Although we have known each other for a few days and I have seen Shun smile many times, they were all polite and gentlemanly. This seems to be the first time that it is so heartfelt.
Thinking about it this way, it’s not easy to be a big shot.
The two continued to feel awkward with each other. Shi Li racked her brains to think of what else to talk about, but the voice of her subordinates came from Shun's communicator.
"Admiral, someone is coming from the cabinet."
In addition to Shun, who is responsible for planning the interstellar defense, there are several other powerful figures on the Earth base, collectively known as the Cabinet.
The basic composition of them are all important figures in various countries. They are prestigious, sometimes particularly stubborn and self-righteous, and they always look down on Shun, who came from a grassroots background.
They wanted him to serve as a shield for humanity in the stars, but they were also worried that he would have too much power and thus affect themselves.
The people who infiltrated the sky fortress this time and wanted to take Shi Li away were most likely from the cabinet.
Now they have sent people again, probably because they heard that NT Star is looking for someone.
"I'm going to take care of some things. You don't have to worry about anything here."
Shun stood up and walked out reluctantly.
He prefers to stay here rather than deal with the people sent by the cabinet. Even if he doesn't say anything, he feels at peace.
Shi Li: Great! He finally left!
She politely walked Shun to the door, watched him turn and leave, and just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw him turn back again.
"Huh? Is there anything else?" Shi Li tilted her head and asked curiously.
Shun shook his head, as if he wanted to say something, but he said nothing, turned around and left completely.
Shi Li watched him disappear from her sight, sighed with relief, closed the door and quickly returned to her room.
The little robot just brought over two glasses of water and saw that Shi Li was alone. The robot head shook back and forth a few times, "Where's Yin?"
As if in response to it, a silver-white squirrel suddenly jumped out from under the bed, scaring Shi Li.
"Why are there squirrels here?"
Given the level of security here, shouldn't even a fly be able to fly in?
Where did the squirrel come from???
Shi Li didn't know that the squirrel had followed her here.
Not long ago, those people with bad intentions came to the sky fortress and the little squirrel was alarmed.
It quietly slipped up to Shi Li, and when it saw her hiding in the safety cabin, it followed her in and followed her all the way here.
Even Shun didn't know that the squirrel he had been raising for several years was not an ordinary squirrel at all, but only looked like a squirrel in appearance, but was actually a product of its appearance.
It is not very useful. Its only feature is that it can be completely invisible, making it impossible for anyone and high-tech to detect its existence.
He had been following Shi Li in stealth before, but now for some reason, he suddenly appeared.
Looking at the little squirrel jumping happily in front of her, Shi Li was not afraid, and even thought it was a little cute.
While muttering, "It probably won't bite," he tentatively reached out his hand.
The little squirrel also recognizes people. When she stretched out her hand, it climbed up her arm along her fingers, making a "squeaking" sound like it was acting coquettishly.
