Lonemoon and Shen Ying remained in the apartment for five or six days. Yet, Shen Jing still did not turn up.

Lonemoon decidedly rejected Shen Ying’s invitation to the game once more. Without her partner in crime, Shen Ying had no choice but to return to her primitive games. Father Niu, on the other hand, had become obsessed with the Star Network’s technology. He busied himself with researching the different functions of the wristband.

“I’m so hungry!” Shen Ying slumped on the couch lazily. She looked completely different from her gaming self. “Father Niu, are you sure you don’t want to try out that restaurant I was telling you about?”

“Get lost!” Lonemoon rolled his eyes. He lowered his gaze, then picked up his handphone. He ordered take away reluctantly. Take it as I’m paying my accommodation fees!

He turned around to glare at the foodie and frowned. They had no idea when Shen Jing would return.

He began to feel slightly uncomfortable. All this time, he thought that Shen Ying’s mouth just could not rest. He thought that she was born a foodie, and that she was a natural cheat. That was why he never thought about whether there was anything wrong with her body. Shen Ying was also not the type to think too much. Had Shen Jing not realised something amiss, they might never have found out that there was something wrong with Shen Ying. They might even have persuaded her to eat less.

That’s not right – maybe Chef did realise something. Perhaps that was why he always holed himself up in the kitchen to cook at meal times. He was always extra considerate toward her, yet he never seemed to worry that she would be bloated.

Lonemoon felt an unspeakable guilt deep in his heart. Suddenly, he felt that he did not do a proper job as her father. Should he have read more books on parenting?

Before the takeout arrived, Lonemoon retrieved a couple of cakes that they ordered from the fridge. He wanted to make sure that Shen Ying’s stomach was not empty before the food arrived.

Suddenly, he heard beeps in the house which sounded like warning rings. The same sounds were coming from the wristband that he was wearing as well.

“Warning in the plane!” Shen Ying, who had been laid out like a dead fish on the sofa earlier, suddenly jumped to her feet. She rushed to the table and pressed something. A screen bounced up at once and there was a familiar blue planet displayed on it.

Is that… Earth?

“Little Ying!” The next moment, a male voice spoke. Another screen lit up in the air. A man in a blue uniform appeared on it.

“Uncle… Kaitian?” Shen Ying paused.

The man in the screen pursed his lips. “I’ve said it many times – call me Big Brother! Am I that old?” The man shook his head. “You saw that warning earlier, right?”

“Yes.” Shen Ying nodded.

“I know that you’re on leave, but that plane is close to you. I am in District T and I can’t leave for now. I’ll have to trouble you to take a look.”

“No!” She immediately rejected.

“Don’t be like this, Little Ying! We have to help one another as colleagues.”

“I’m not getting overtime pay.”

“Little Ying…” Kaitian’s face scrunched up but there were no tears. Suddenly, he thought of something. Through gritted teeth, he said, “Rights to the internal policies of Star Network’s new online game.”

“Deal!”

“…”

“Send me the coordinates.” Shen Ying immediately tapped on something on her screen. A moment later, she received a group of numbers.

“These numbers are strange,” Kaitian reminded her. “There was no coordinates close by to this planet before. You’ll have to be careful.”

“Alright.”

“Thanks for the effort,” the man said and nodded. Then, he disappeared.

Lonemoon walked over curiously. “Who was that?”

“My older sister’s other assistant,” Shen Ying replied. She thought for awhile then added, “My colleague!”

“How many assistants does your sister have?” Why did Lonemoon feel like the management of the plane was made up of a huge team?

“Just two.” Shen Ying replied while assessing the numbers. “Under ordinary circumstances, she doesn’t have any assistants. But Kaitian’s circumstances… are special.”
