Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

"I am an ordinary, unremarkable person. Although many people outside call me a 'genius,' they are just blinded by the side I present."

"In fact, I'm just an ordinary person, even a bit slow. Even if I 'cheated,' I couldn't get a perfect score. I can only climb up the steps one by one step in a methodical way. Hard work is probably my only talent. If it can be considered a talent."

“I suffered terribly in my past life and lost too much, which made me extremely timid. I always strive for stability in everything I do. For me, the cost of making mistakes is too high. This mindset has not changed in this life.”

"Once you get something, you're even more afraid of losing it. I guess that's what 'sudden wealth for the poor' means for me. At heart, I'm still 'stingy'."

"They are both stingy and selfish, and they are not willing to take any risks."

"Will you regret saving someone like me?"

A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves rustled.

Xu Weiwei looked up, her clear, emerald-green eyes reflecting the shadows of the trees, just as she had seen them when she was a baby lying in her cradle.

Turning her gaze away, Xu Weiwei slowly pushed herself up, patted the dirt off her legs, and said to the small grave in front of her:

"If I had to do it all over again, I would still choose the same path. This is the best I can do without harming the interests of my family. If you're angry, come and curse me in my dreams."

After saying that, Xu Weiwei turned around and walked away from the grave.

Kane and Ryan didn't get in the car first, but waited for her downstairs. The two brothers had been chatting while leaning against the car, but when they saw her coming, they stood up straight and naturally placed their hands on the side of the car.

"What did you talk about with the priest? You're back so soon."

Xu Weiwei bent down and got into the car. "It was too rushed. We didn't have time to talk in detail. I had her appear in my dream."

The two of them then crawled inside one after the other.

"What gods do the Guderians believe in? Which sect do they belong to? What if they're not from the same system?"

"I'm not sure, but there should be business dealings between departments."

……

When we returned to the camp, it was already 6:30, but because it was daylight saving time, the light had not completely disappeared; it was dim but still visible.

The soldiers were busy packing their belongings and organizing the survivors to board the ship; it was even more lively than during the day.

"Next group, get in line! Line up in order! Don't get disorganized!"

"Auntie! Don't worry about that, we'll take care of it. Just bring your personal belongings... The blanket? We've got it on the blanket, and the pillows and mattresses too. Please put these things down..."

"Follow the soldier leading the way! Don't wander off! Be careful not to get lost and not find your dormitory!"

"Why are two people missing from this group? Where are they?"

A man raised his hand: "Mengnu wanted to poop, so Hu Jinwu took him to the woods to poop."

The soldier, looking exasperated, ordered, "Your group, step aside and wait until everyone's here before you move..."

The starship's stairs are sensor-activated automatic elevators; they activate when someone steps on them. This amazed the Goodells, who were experiencing it for the first time.

They had seen this behemoth many times before, but their feelings about it were completely different from what they felt now.

Excitement and novelty made them temporarily forget their sadness, and their attention was completely occupied by the new things.

Suddenly, a raindrop the size of a bean pelted down, followed by a series of "pitter-patter" sounds. In the blink of an eye, a torrential downpour began.

The dark clouds that had been brewing all day now seemed to have squeezed out all the moisture.

Those who hadn't yet boarded the ship were instantly soaked.

The children let out excited screams, covered their heads, and shrank their necks. Some even comically picked up a piece of cloth from an adult's clothes to make themselves a "shelter."

Seeing this, Xu Weiwei couldn't help but smile.

Because of Fast, no outsiders were allowed on the main ship, except for Ganz's father and brothers. Compared to the noise outside, it was much quieter here.

"Stop looking. You've been busy all day. Have dinner, take a shower, and get some rest." Kane said, turning on his personal terminal to let his family know that he was leaving for home that evening and that they shouldn't worry.

As soon as he turned on his personal terminal, he frowned and looked at his unreliable third brother: "Have you forgotten what I told you?"

"What? Oh—! Oh!" Ryan suddenly remembered.

He slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot!"

"Oh dear, I've been so busy these past few days, I haven't even had a full night's sleep, so it's understandable that I forgot..."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xu Weiwei asked curiously.

As the saying goes, speak of the devil, and he appears; the person he was chatting with just then sent a call request. Kane hung up with a complicated expression, then showed the message history to Xu Weiwei.

"It's looking for you. Hurry up and check it; I reckon you have even more than I do. Call him back as soon as you have a moment. I'm afraid he might actually report you missing."

After Kane finished speaking, he grabbed his brother by the neck and carried him away, muttering irritably, "Even dogs don't stick to their owners like this, I'm speechless..."

The voice was too soft, and Xu Weiwei didn't hear it clearly.

As Kane had instructed, she opened Starnews, which she hadn't logged into for two days. The screen froze for a moment, and then the number of unread messages at the bottom skyrocketed, reaching 99+ in the blink of an eye.

Most of them were from work groups, and a few were from family and friends. As for Finn—

Xu Weiwei's eyes widened.

25 items?!

She quickly opened the chat window and scrolled up. She saw that the messages had changed from work reports to questions about not receiving a reply, and then to concerns about her situation and personal safety. The other party's increasingly urgent feelings could be seen in the text.

[Please call me back if you see this; I'm available anytime.]

Are you still busy?

【Good morning.】

[Zhang Pete said you went out. Was it something urgent? Where are you? Can you tell me what happened? Maybe I can help.]

[Communication Request - Not Connected]

[Communication Request - Not Connected]

[Communication Request - Not Connected]

……

【Celivia, where are you?】

Xu Weiwei was sweating profusely, and only two words echoed in her mind—"It's over."

Well, now that things have come to this, let's eat first.

If you have too many lice, you won't be afraid of being bitten, and you won't miss this short while.

Xu Weiwei leisurely ate dinner, filled her stomach, and then took a comfortable hot bath, followed by a full skincare routine including hair mask, essential oil, and face mask.

In reality, they were hoping to stall for as long as possible.

After struggling for an hour or two, I really had to face it.

Xu Weiwei sat on the bed, exhaled, and with a sense of resignation, pressed the call-back button.
