Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Li Shen half-knelt in front of the window, gently holding the girl's elbow with one hand. "You listened to the doctor and the nurse, so it doesn't hurt so much anymore, right?"

Perhaps it was because Li Shen's voice was too gentle that the little girl seemed to have some reaction. Although she still didn't speak, she slowly blinked her eyes.

Li Shen continued to coax her patiently, "When the wounds on your body no longer hurt, what reward do you want?"

"I want to...go home."

A tender but slightly hoarse voice sounded in the ward, which made Xia Jiumeng's heart tighten quickly. After moving two steps, she stopped and hesitated.

Miaomiao is already like this, wouldn’t it be a bit too much for her to ask those questions again?

The slight sound was very conspicuous in the quiet ward, and it also attracted Miaomiao's attention. Seeing this, Li Shen's tone became even softer, revealing a feeling of reassurance and conviction.

"This sister is my friend. She is a very powerful hunter. She has saved many children like you."

Miaomiao looked at Xia Jiumeng listening to Li Shen's words, and she moved slightly, not knowing whether she was touched by the words in his words.

Xia Jiumeng saw that Li Shen had spoken, so she no longer hesitated and immediately walked forward and squatted beside the bed to greet Miaomiao.

"Hello, Miaomiao."

Li Shen watched from the side and leaned back slightly when he saw that Miaomiao did not show any resistance or excitement because of Xia Jiumeng's approach.

"Would you like to talk to me?" she asked Miaomiao.

Miaomiao looked into Xia Jiumeng's eyes, hesitated for a moment, but still nodded slowly.

This sister has such beautiful eyes. Such a beautiful sister cannot be a bad person.

Xia Jiumeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and met Li Shen's gaze.

Li Shen understood immediately, turned around and left, and before leaving, he tapped the back of her hand to indicate that she should not stay too long.

In an instant, Xia Jiumeng and Miaomiao were the only ones left in the spacious ward. Looking at the frail girl lying on the bed, she slowly stood up and sat beside the bed, holding the girl's slender hand and whispering, "Miaomiao, I've actually been through what you've been through..."

"I have a brother too, so I know you're feeling sad right now."

The girl's hands clenched slightly in her palms.

Xia Jiumeng noticed it and looked at the girl and asked, "Miaomiao, do you miss your brother?"

The girl's dark eyes regained some light because of her words, but the next moment she seemed to remember something and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother...is he dead..." Miaomiao looked at Xia Jiumeng pitifully.

Xia Jiumeng: "..."

"No, how could that be? Your brother must be fine."

"Really? Then why didn't brother come to see me?"

"Maybe Miaomiao's brother encountered some trouble and couldn't come to Miaomiao right away."

"Miaomiao's brother would definitely not abandon Miaomiao, so can Miaomiao tell me what you saw before the explosion?"

"Perhaps I can help you find your brother."

Xia Jiumeng asked tentatively.

Miaomiao looked at Xia Jiumeng steadily, and her vigilant expression seemed to relax a little. Just as she was about to speak, the door of the ward was knocked.

The next second, a man wearing a navy uniform and glasses pushed the door open and walked in.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw Xia Jiumeng, then he pushed his glasses as if to react and asked in confusion, "Ms. Adjutant, why are you here?"

"It seems the captain forgot to inform us."

He looked at Xia Jiumeng with inquiring eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her face.

As for why he knew Xia Jiumeng's identity, it was because after the previous interrogation, Xia Yizhou had changed her information to adjutant and announced it, so now the entire fleet base knew her identity.

Xia Jiumeng patted Miaomiao's hand, which was trembling slightly because of the man's appearance, and said coldly, "It's not your turn to guess what the ship's officers are doing. Just do your own thing."

"I've already visited this little girl. There's nothing wrong. You can go now."

She was afraid that these people would do something bad to Miaomiao, so she used this as an excuse to drive them away.

The man was somewhat unwilling but due to Xia Jiumeng's identity he could only turn around and leave.

"Have a good rest. I'll come and chat with you next time." Xia Jiumeng said, touching the little girl's head.

Since the fleet has sent people here, they will not leave easily. The current situation is no longer suitable for further questioning.

"elder sister."

When Xia Jiumeng was about to leave the ward, Miaomiao suddenly called her.

"what happened?"

Miaomiao didn't answer but took out a burnt puppy doll from under her pillow.

"Sister, thank you for coming to see me. I'll give you Lucy as a gift, okay..." Her voice was a little nervous.

Xia Jiumeng: Lucy? This dog?

Facing the girl's timid and nervous but expectant eyes, she instantly thought of something, smiled slightly and stepped forward to take it. "Okay, thank you Miaomiao."

After saying goodbye to Miaomiao, she left the ward and closed the door. Sure enough, she saw a black boot top at the corner of the ward. It was obvious that the man with glasses who had just entered had not left.

It seems that his visit might not have been Xia Yizhou's suggestion, otherwise Xia Yizhou would not have not told her.

It seems that the Far Space Fleet is also quite powerful.

Pretending not to notice anything, he walked to the nurse's station and told the nurse that Miaomiao was feeling a little uncomfortable and needed a "good" rest before leaving.

I believe the hospital will not allow anyone to visit if the patient is not feeling well.
