As soon as the two of them went out, they saw the adjutant waiting quietly under the spaceship.

The temperature difference between the planets in System N was huge. It had been spring when they were in the small rebellion zone, but now after they jumped back, the temperature had dropped sharply and it had become winter again.

Yan Qi was dressed quite well, having even put on an extra coat before they landed on the Black Skeleton battleship. But after spending so long in the constant temperature room, he couldn't help but wince at the sudden contact with the cold air.

After getting off the spaceship, Ji Li glanced back at the young man, stretched out his hand to pull him in front of him, put the hat on Yan Qi's clothes on his head, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you so afraid of the cold?"

"Hmm," Yan Qi felt the temperature of his body dissipating with the wind and sniffed.

Ji Li said in a rare soft voice, "It's okay. When you follow Wan Conglun and the others over there, you'll find that it's not cold here at all."

Yan Qi laughed after hearing this: "Ji Li, aren't you afraid that I'll leave in a spaceship overnight?"

Ji Li smiled and said, "Sure, if you're not afraid of that space jump station in Galaxy N that can throw people off."

"I'm just kidding. I'm still waiting for you to come back." As soon as Yan Qi thought of the deadly space jump station, he no longer felt cold, his legs and feet became nimble, and even the air around him became like spring all year round.

Ji Li gathered the boy's clothes again and saw that the jeweled medal on his clothes was gone. He paused and asked, "Where's the gift I gave you?"

Yan Qi chuckled softly and opened his coat to reveal the jeweled medallion inside. "Of course, here. I think wearing it underneath my clothes makes it look more meaningful. On the surface, others may think I'm just an ordinary handsome guy, but through interacting with me, they'll discover that I—"

“It’s even more handsome!”

Seeing the boy's proud expression, Ji Li reached out and pinched his cheek. "Do you think I believe that?" He then took off the brooch and put it back on his coat. "I'm afraid some people's miserly nature has kicked in. They have something valuable that they're afraid of being seen by others, so they want to hide it."

"Don't expose it, I'll lose face." Yan Qi said this, but still stood quietly and let Ji Li tidy up her clothes. The reason why she wore the brooch inside was that she felt it was too high-profile. After all, a simple and ordinary life is happiness!

Ji Li lowered his head and zipped up the boy's clothes. His amber eyes were full of tenderness, and even his cold temperament became much softer. It must be said that the two of them looked very compatible together, and the picture was even a bit beautiful.

However, the adjutant who witnessed all this felt very excited throughout the whole process!

That’s right, it’s high energy!

Although he was temporarily promoted because Wan Conglun had to return to the warship to handle official business on behalf of Ji Li, being Ji Li's adjutant meant that he knew him well and was trustworthy.

He had never seen Ji Li treat anyone like this before, and was even a little overwhelmed.

"Alright." Ji Li raised his eyebrows and said, "From today on, your task is to carry it with you at all times, preferably so that everyone can see it."

Yan Qi exclaimed, "This isn't good..."

Although she really likes it and still secretly reminisces about it from time to time, there is no need to show off like this.

The beauty wouldn't have any misunderstanding about her low-key character, right?

Ji Li looked down at the boy who was lost in thought, then turned to his adjutant and said, "Go to the spaceship and check the safety of the equipment first. I'll be there soon."

"Yes."

When Ji Li saw the adjutant walk away, he said calmly, "All the footage from the escape capsule has been retrieved, and the data analysis will be completed soon."

"Oh?" Yan Qi raised the corner of his mouth: "Did you see it? Do you admire me even more?"

"I haven't had time to look yet." Ji Li withdrew his hand, his amber eyes like a bottomless lake: "Yan Qi, you should know that driving a safety capsule across several star fields and falling into the bay without any obstruction is not normal for a first-year student."

Yan Qi paused and met his deep eyes.

Of course she knew it wasn't normal.

But from the moment she jumped off the spaceship, she already knew what she was facing. Talking about it on paper and actually doing it are completely different.

With the beauty's investigative ability, she must have noticed something was wrong a long time ago, and it is already her limit that she has been able to endure until now.

After all, the original owner's previous level was really poor, and it was hard for people to not notice this change. In the military, such things are very strict, especially since Ji Li is in a high position, he naturally has to be careful about everything.

But Yan Qi knew that since the beauty was able to ask the question, it meant that he still trusted him, otherwise he would have arrested her with an arrest warrant and investigated her long ago.

Yan Qi thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Ji Li, I don't know how to explain this to you. I had a head injury before, and when I woke up, everything felt different. So I don't know how to tell you about my current situation, because I'm also confused."

Yan Qi's head was indeed seriously injured.

Ji Li's eyes darkened. After his investigation, he found that the boy's behavior had been somewhat different since he came back from leave.

"But you can also think of it as a blessing in disguise. I cured your brain." Yan Qi smiled and continued, "No matter what you think, I never intended to harm you. As long as I can save you, I won't regret it if you hand me over to the military for investigation later."

"Who said I'm going to hand you over to the military?" Ji Li's words floated out slowly, interrupting Yan Qi's lyrical speech.

Yan Qi choked. She felt that this world should still allow humans to have a little imagination.

Seeing that the young man was a little depressed again, Ji Li smiled and said, "It would be a waste of energy to hand you over to the military. So wear it well before I come back, and don't let it be captured and cause trouble for the army, understand?"

Yan Qi suddenly felt that he was no longer free, and said dejectedly, "I understand."

Seeing the young man agreed, Ji Li said, knowing that the time was almost up, "Aren't you going to send me off? Let's go."

The two spaceships weren't docked far apart, only about three or four hundred meters. When they arrived, representatives from the Li and Ji families were already waiting under the spaceships. Two other spaceships were parked side by side nearby, one of which was clearly marked with the royal emblem, making it quite eye-catching.

The people below were attracted by this conspicuous spaceship, and the people on the spaceship were also paying close attention to the movements below.

Ye Qingqing, who had been waiting on the spaceship for a long time, saw Ji Li and Yan Qi appear in the distance and said in a gloomy tone, "They are really keeping a close eye on me. I don't even have enough time, and they still have to bring their partners here to see me off."

Ye Manwen smiled, handed her a cup of tea and said soothingly: "Let them meet again. After all, with Ji Li gone, I'm afraid they won't be able to meet again."

"You're right." Ye Qingqing took the teacup, chuckled, and walked a few steps towards the window.
