Disguised as a man, she returned to the military academy and was forced to study again.

It was twelve o'clock late at night at the Li family's old house.

It was foggy outside and everything was quiet.

Yan Qi lay on her bed, idly scrolling through her electronic board. She had to get up early the next morning to board the spaceship, and she had already packed everything, but she couldn't sleep.

The balcony door was open, and the cold wind made the curtains flutter slightly. Yan Qi got out of bed, opened the curtains, and walked quietly to the balcony.

A cool breeze blew across the balcony. The sky was dark tonight. Outside, only the nightlights illuminated the sky, and even the stars were few and far between. Yan Qi rested his hands on the railing and looked up, his dark eyes reflecting the black sky.

The dark eyes seemed to contain everything in the sky, yet seemed empty.

Yan Qi remembered the last time she boarded a spaceship. It was also in winter, on a moonless night like this, with even the stars sparsely visible.

It was just an ordinary B-class mission, and she wasn't required to be involved. However, it happened to coincide with the B-class commander training, so she could only be selected from the A-class commanders.

Among her fellow disciples, two went to training, and the other was too lazy to death, so in the end, she had to take on everything.

In Yan Qi's words: Without her, the other three would have to fight six times a day. They would do nothing but think about fighting.

Although Yan Qi was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to lead a small team into the starry sky.

After successfully completing the mission, she lost her temper with her classmates and teacher on the way back. Yan Qi couldn't help laughing when she thought of her teacher's frustrated face. The old man was already wrinkled, and now it became even more wrinkled, like a shelled walnut.

Because he was so noisy, he forced the teacher to agree repeatedly and promised to take a spaceship to the flight hub to pick him up.

But it was clearly she who asked someone to pick him up, and in the end she was the one who broke the appointment.

There was no one there, not even a body.

The old man must be very sad...

When Yan Qi thought of this, the smile on his lips slowly disappeared.

She hadn't expected interstellar pirates to so brazenly attack the federal army. But the interstellar pirates Yan Qi and his companions encountered were so crazy that they even rammed their spaceships into them.

Use an almost suicidal fighting method to force them into the magnetic storm zone, where all electrons fail.

Soon the spacecraft began to lose control, the control console flashing wildly. At first it was still under control, but the spacecraft's protective devices appeared intermittently, and the radiation in the magnetic storm zone swallowed everyone on the spacecraft.

At first, the space was filled with painful wails, but in the end, no one had the energy to wail anymore, like fish stuck to a chopping board waiting to be tortured to death.

Yan Qi felt her skin burning, her head swelling, and she couldn't help vomiting. Her eyes became bloodshot, and her vision became blurry. In the end, she could barely see, and could only feel her own festering skin.

No one knew when this torture would end and could only pray for death.

Yan Qi heard a small sob behind her. She remembered the sound. It was from a young soldier who had just joined the army, a very energetic boy, like a sunflower.

But now, behind him, he was desperately calling out in a low voice: "Mom, Mom, save me..."

Yan Qi no longer knew whether the stream running down her face was blood or tears. With every step forward, she could feel her skin festering. By the time she reached the operating table, she felt her skin tearing apart, like a bag of rotten meat with several large holes in it.

He groped his way around and crashed into the black hole, ending the torture for everyone.

Yan Qi stood on the balcony with a heavy face, the cold wind blowing on her face, making her shiver. This was the first time in this winter that Yan Qi truly felt its presence.

She rubbed her cold hands, rushed back into the house, quickly closed the door, drew the curtains, and curled up on the bed. The whole process was very smooth, without a single hitch.

Yan Qi: That was a close call. I almost froze to death.

She tossed and turned for a long time, blowing the cold wind and reminiscing about the glorious past, and finally fell into a deep sleep in the warm air indoors.

But unfortunately, she had to get up after just a short nap. This time it wasn't the alarm clock that woke her up, but the overbearing sound of the spacecraft landing on the tarmac.

After Yan Qi got up, he looked out from the balcony into the courtyard. The bright lights made the sky glow. Ji Li was standing next to the spaceship, talking to Tu, the butler, his golden hair a little messy in the wind.

The spaceship, in the darkness, resembled a massive beast poised for attack. It radiated a cold, metallic sheen, not simply silver or gray, but possessing a chilling, sharp quality. The metal's surface was coated with a special coating that made it difficult for exotic beasts to detect the spacecraft and also evaded some radar detection technology.

Yan Qi changed her clothes. She actually had very few things, so she went downstairs carrying a bag that was neither too big nor too small.

"Good morning, Ji Li, the map butler." Yan Qi said as he handed the things in his hand to the electronic butler.

Ji Li hummed and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want to prepare something to eat?"

Yan Qi shook his head and refused, "No, I just want to sleep now. I have no appetite."

Ji Li looked at the boy carefully. He indeed looked a little sleepy, not as energetic as before, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.

He stretched out his hand to gather Yan Qi's clothes and said softly:

"If you've packed all your things, go to the spaceship and rest. We're about to depart anyway, so if there's nothing else to do, just wait for Wan Conglun to arrive."

"Let me accompany you." Yan Qi shook his head and refused, then stood next to Ji Li.

It was too miserable for the beauty to stand outside alone. Anyway, she would have plenty of time to sleep once she got on the spaceship.

Witnessing all this, Tu Guanjia quietly took a few steps back, minimizing his presence.

Article 3 of the Housekeeper Code: Respect the user's living habits and reasonable requests, and do not interfere with the employer's private life.

Although he had watched the young master grow up, he would never betray his butler, Hanamichi! This was his lifelong pursuit.

Just bless yourself silently.

Butler Tu looked at the backs of the two people, an aunt's smile appeared on his face, and he looked at them with a kind gaze.

The two of them standing together are a perfect match.

And even the young master cares about others. It is true that love makes people become unlike themselves.
