Quan Caiwei was very considerate.
Xia Chujian couldn't have asked for more. She yawned and said, "I'm really tired. I haven't slept for over ten hours. Caiwei, you should rest too. It's past midnight, go get your beauty sleep."
Zong Ruoan glanced at Quan Caiwei, hesitating to speak.
Quan Caiwei didn't look at Zong Ruoan, but nodded to Xia Chujian, "It's okay, get settled in first. We're fine, we slept too much during the day, so we're not sleepy at all. I'll go back and see if there's anything else to do. I won't disturb you."
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Quan Caiwei and Zong Ruoan left with their bodyguards and subordinates.
After they got in the car and left, Xia Chujian shrugged and faced the inquiring gazes of Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi, saying, "Let's stay here first, and leave tomorrow. This is what it means to have connections, don't mind it too much."
She really wanted to rest, after all, she hadn't closed her eyes for twelve hours.
If she included the time at the Kanli Star Flying Base, she had been awake for almost twenty hours.
Every cell in her body was clamoring to strike.
The three roommates followed her into the detached villa.
It was fully equipped with daily necessities. There were six bedrooms upstairs, and a middle-aged maid on the first floor to take care of them and help them with chores.
Xia Chujian asked politely, "How should I address you?"
The middle-aged maid was flattered and said, "You're too kind, just call me No. 17."
She showed Xia Chujian her waist tag and added, "This villa is No. 17, and I am a servant here."
Xia Chujian insisted, "I'm not used to calling people by numbers. What's your surname?"
The middle-aged maid smiled, "My surname is Cai."
Xia Chujian said, "Hello, Aunt Cai. Could you please get us something to eat? We just got off the plane and haven't had dinner yet."
Actually, they all had Advanced Nutrient Solution, and one tube could keep them full for a day.
But in this unfamiliar place, Xia Chujian felt that they should eat some normal food to help relieve their tension.
Aunt Cai said solemnly, "No problem, please wait a moment, I will inform the kitchen to send over supper for the four of you."
Xia Chujian asked her three roommates, "Do you want to have supper first, or take a shower first?"
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi needed some time to process the events of the day and wanted to huddle together for warmth.
They all said, "We can stay downstairs for a while, so let's have supper first."
Xia Chujian nodded and said to Aunt Cai, "Please prepare supper for them first, mine isn't urgent. Just prepare a bowl of quick-cooked noodles for me separately, I'll eat it after I shower."
She had eaten half of her Advanced Nutrient Solution, and didn't have time to finish it before arriving at their destination. Xia Chujian put the remaining half tube into her backpack.
After speaking, she went upstairs to find a bedroom, finished the remaining Advanced Nutrient Solution, and then went to take a shower.
Each bedroom here had its own bathroom, which was very convenient.
She had her own change of underwear and a set of military uniform in her backpack.
After washing up, she took them out and changed into them.
Then she came downstairs and found that her roommates had finished eating and had gone upstairs to shower and rest.
She breathed a sigh of relief and quietly said to Aunt Cai, "Do you have any coffee that can refresh the mind? Prepare a cup for me tomorrow morning..."
She had never drunk coffee before, but Quan Yuxun had said that coffee was very refreshing, and he had to drink a cup every morning.
She was worried that she would sleep until tomorrow morning and not wake up, but she couldn't oversleep in someone else's house, so she prepared something to refresh her mind in advance.
Aunt Cai nodded and said softly, "Yes, I will definitely remember to make you a cup tomorrow."
Then she asked Xia Chujian if she wanted black coffee, or with milk and sugar? Xia Chujian hesitated for a moment and said, "Which one works best?"
"Of course, it's pure black coffee, no milk, no sugar."
"Then no milk, no sugar black coffee."
Aunt Cai then brought over the quick-cooked noodles that Xia Chujian had requested.
Xia Chujian looked at it and saw that it was made with care. The meat inside was very large, and there were eggs and vegetables. The taste was also quite standard, and it should be much better than the nutrient solution.
After Xia Chujian finished a bowl of quick-cooked noodles, it was almost one in the morning.
She went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth and wash her face, casually used the skincare products provided in the bathroom, changed into her pajamas, and prepared to sleep.
But as soon as she lay down, Zong Ruoan's video call request came.
Xia Chujian rubbed her eyes vigorously, then sat up and struggled to accept the call.
Zong Ruoan's avatar appeared on the virtual display screen, smiling as he asked, "Chujian, are you asleep?"
Xia Chujian only showed her head, not letting him see her pajamas.
She had to smile and say, "Not yet, but I was almost asleep. Young Master Zong, is there something you need at this late hour?"
Zong Ruoan said, "That's great, I'm not sleepy yet, and my time here is limited. I might leave around noon tomorrow. I wanted to talk to you. How about coming over for a chat? I'll send a car to pick you up."
Xia Chujian cursed inwardly, It's almost one in the morning, why not sleep? What's the point of meeting?
But Zong Ruoan wasn't an ordinary person. She had even borrowed his name to make a big show of things...
Could she say no? Lying is fun for a moment, but covering it up is a nightmare! Xia Chujian deliberately yawned and said, "Alright, since Young Master Zong is pressed for time, I'll keep you company."
Zong Ruoan laughed, "I know you're probably sleepy, but it's okay. I had Quan Family's best Black Coffee made, waiting to have a late-night talk with you."
Xia Chujian: "..."
This Young Master Zong...
She was speechless.
But she was very clear that in this world, there was no free lunch.
She was now paying for the "lunch" she had once eaten for free.
Xia Chujian nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll change my clothes and come over. Which building are you staying in?"
Zong Ruoan said, "I'll have someone drive to pick you up."
So, they even need to drive you around the house. This Manor is indeed not ordinary.
No wonder it's called the Quan Family "Big" House.
Xia Chujian returned to the bedroom upstairs, put on the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha inside her clothes as usual, and put on the military uniform she had taken out after showering.
Fortunately, the temperature here at night was very pleasant, probably only around twenty degrees.
She didn't even feel hot wearing the smart military uniform.
...
Xia Chujian walked down the steps, got into the car Zong Ruoan sent to pick her up, and headed towards the villa where Zong Ruoan was staying.
At this time, the Quan Family staff had already reported to Quan Caiwei that Zong Ruoan had sent a car to pick up Xia Chujian.
Quan Caiwei had slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night, so she was watching dramas in bed.
Hearing this news, she sighed, got out of bed, changed her clothes, and planned to go to Zong Ruoan's residence to accompany Xia Chujian.
It was so late, and she was also the host. In terms of both emotion and reason, she couldn't let Xia Chujian go to see Zong Ruoan alone late at night.
But when she pushed open the bedroom door and took a few steps, she saw someone standing sideways at the bay window at the end of the corridor, smoking.
It was her Eldest Cousin Quan Yuxun.
"Eldest Cousin, weren't you asleep?" Quan Caiwei asked in surprise.
Quan Yuxun flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said with a smile, "I already slept for a while, got up to smoke a cigarette and then go back to sleep."
Quan Caiwei made a "speechless" expression and said, "Take your time, I'm going out for a bit."
"It's so late, what are you going out for?" Quan Yuxun asked politely, fulfilling his duty as an elder brother.
These words opened Quan Caiwei's floodgates.
She complained, "Eldest Cousin, why do you think there's anything so urgent that it can't wait until tomorrow? Especially when people have already said they're very sleepy, but our Young Master Zong still calls people out to talk in the middle of the night."
Quan Caiwei could tell that Xia Chujian was very sleepy, and she really wanted Xia Chujian to sleep.
Although she herself had slept too much during the day and wasn't sleepy, the other person had just come down from a Starry Sky Fighter and had reportedly flown for twelve hours. Wouldn't she be sleepy? Quan Yuxun knew that Zong Ruoan was coming today, and it was he who secretly suggested to his grandfather that Quan Caiwei represent the Quan Family to pick him up at the Interstellar Terminal.
So he thought Quan Caiwei was saying that she herself was sleepy and wanted to sleep, but had to go see Zong Ruoan.
Quan Yuxun exhaled a smoke ring and said with a smile, "Zong Ruoan? He is a bit self-centered. Alright, you go to sleep, I'll go talk to him."
Then, as if remembering something, he said meaningfully, "Unless, Caiwei, you really want to go talk to him?"
Quan Caiwei waved her hand quickly, "Big Brother, please don't harm me! Young Master Zong and I are just ordinary friends, and besides, he's really not my cup of tea."
"Besides, he doesn't want me to talk to him, he wants Xia Chujian to talk to him."
"It's the middle of the night, I can't let Chujian go over alone, can I? As the host, I have to accompany her."
Quan Yuxun's hand trembled, and the dark red cigarette ash fell on the carefully woven wool carpet.
He thought he had misheard, "Who? Who did you say is going to talk to Zong Ruoan?"
Quan Caiwei patted her forehead and said embarrassedly, "It's all my fault, I'm talking incoherently, no wonder Big Brother doesn't understand."
"The thing is like this..."
She then recounted what happened when she went to the Interstellar Terminal to pick up Zong Ruoan today.
Quan Yuxun's heart was surging, but on the surface, he still smiled gently and said slowly, "So, Xia Chujian is now the Chief Pilot of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet? And she only used twelve hours to fly across the Asteroid Belt between our Cangge Star and Kanli Star?"
Quan Caiwei nodded and asked in confusion, "Big Brother, why are you and Young Master Zong so concerned about this? Is this speed very impressive?"
Quan Yuxun threw away the cigarette in his hand, thinking, this is not just impressive, this is simply impossible!
But since it happened to Xia Chujian, Quan Yuxun felt that it was still possible...
Because this seemingly ordinary girl is best at turning the impossible into possible.
His mind raced, and he said with a smile, "Then I'll go with you to see Young Master Zong, see what he needs, and do my best as a host."
The corner of Quan Caiwei's mouth twitched, thinking that you didn't look like you were going to do your best as a host just now.
Besides, Eldest Cousin should have been the one to pick up Zong Ruoan today, but he spoke to grandfather and had her pick him up instead, did he think she didn't know?
This is the first update. (^▽^) Knowing that everyone wants to see the crematorium, I didn't want to write the crematorium at first, but my hands didn't listen, and I typed it out myself~~· The plot is destined, and my clumsy hands are just moving it.
I am a porter of nature~~~ Hahahaha~~~ The second update is at one o'clock in the afternoon.
