Crossing the Star Railway: The Beginning of the Starry Sky Twins

Chapter 260 Picnic on the Mountaintop

Seeing that she was discovered, Bronya simply stopped pretending and stood up, pushed aside the bushes and walked out.

"Huh? Bronya? Why are you here?"

Xing was stunned to see that the person who came out was Bronya.

"Not only Bronya is here, I am here too."

Jizi also came out behind Bronya and said helplessly.

After all, it would be a little embarrassing to discover such a thing.

Seeing Ji Zi was there too, Xing couldn't help but scratch his head. Why were these two people following him?

"you know?"

Ruan Mei saw Xing's reaction and immediately understood, but she still asked.

"These are all members of the Star Train, my friends."

Xing nodded and signaled Ruan Mei to let down her guard.

Bronya looked at Ruan Mei with some hostility.

Seeing Bronya's strange expression, Xing understood that Bronya must have misunderstood.

"We got up early in the morning to get something to eat, and we saw you rushing out of the city. We followed you out of curiosity... ahem, we didn't mean to interrupt you."

Jizi shrugged and explained the whole story a little.

And Bronya finally couldn't help it and asked Xing.

"Who is this person?"

"What good news... You misunderstood. This is the expert in the field of life research that I mentioned in Klipper Castle before, Ruan Mei."

Xing explained to Bronya somewhat helplessly.

When the two heard the name, they realized that the person in front of them was the key figure Xing had invited to solve Beloberg's debt crisis.

But even so, Bronya felt unhappy.

After all... Ruan Mei called Xing so intimately just now...

"Then I...just heard her call you dear...what's going on between you two..."

Bronya couldn't help herself after all and asked.

Hearing this, Himeko couldn't help but glance at Bronya. The young girl was too inexperienced in love and revealed her feelings so easily.

Isn't it obvious that I'm jealous when I say this?

"She's like that...if you'd been her assistant before, she'd call you dear, too."

Seeing Bronya looking jealous, Xing briefly told her about the time when he and Qiong worked as assistants to Ruan Mei at the Black Tower Space Station.

Bronya was sleeping at that time, so she naturally didn't know what happened in the space station.

"I see... I'm sorry for misunderstanding you just now, Ms. Ruan Mei."

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Bronya's originally calm heart suddenly relaxed and she smiled.

Looking at Bronya like this, Himeko smiled helplessly.

"No problem, let's continue with the previous question."

Ruan Mei shook her head slightly. Since both of them were Xing's acquaintances, there was no need for her to say anything more.

"I want to say that after all, I am not from Yalilo-VI, so I have no say on what this planet is like. I'm afraid I have to ask the current Great Guardian Cocolia, and refer to the previous data to understand what Yalilo-VI was like seven hundred years ago."

Seeing Xing said so, Ruan Mei also nodded.

If we just want to restore the vitality of the planet and allow species to flourish on this planet, that would be very simple, but if we want to restore the normal ecology of seven hundred years ago, that would take more effort.

"Ms. Ruan Mei, do you need any information? It just so happens that the Belloborg Museum was restored and reopened some time ago. I believe there is a lot of information you need there."

Away from the emotional aspect, Bronya became more capable and planned to take Ruan Mei to the museum to learn some information about Yalilo-VI seven hundred years ago.

"Belloberg..."

Ruan Mei glanced in the direction of Beloberg and then shook her head.

"No, I'll just stay nearby. I'll collect some information about Yalilo-VI. I believe it won't be difficult."

"Eh?"

Bronya was stunned when she saw Ruan Mei refused.

Why would we go through the trouble of collecting information when there is an easy way to learn about Yalilo-VI...

Are you angry about what happened just now?

Bronya became nervous again for a moment.

"Ruan Mei doesn't like crowded places. When there were only a few people around the space station platform, she dragged Qiong and I to a deserted place. Now that Beloberg is crowded, I am even more reluctant to go."

Xing looked at Bronya's rich little expression and couldn't help laughing in her heart, and quickly explained.

"So that's how it is... Then I'll get the book about the Beloberg environment and give it to Ms. Ruan Mei for her reference."

Bronya suddenly realized and asked Ruan Mei for her opinion.

When she heard that it was to deliver information, Ruan Mei finally nodded and agreed, and the matter was finalized.

"But...if Miss Ruan Mei doesn't return to Beloberg, where should she live?"

Bronya was a little troubled. She couldn't let such a distinguished guest sleep in the wild, right?

"Don't worry about me. I often do research on some desolate planets, so I often sleep outdoors."

Ruan Mei shook her head slightly and declined Bronya's kindness.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that Ruan Mei really didn't need anything, Bronya stopped bothering her.

Gollum-

My body relaxed and the sound of my hungry stomach could not help but become clear.

Bronya blushed and couldn't help but cover her belly, feeling very embarrassed.

"Want to eat?"

Ruan Mei handed the pickled plum cake, which she had not eaten much of, to Bronya.

"No, no, thank you."

Bronya declined Ruan Mei's kindness somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh, come to think of it, Himeko, you and Bronya were planning to have breakfast at first, but you followed me here and haven't eaten yet. Why don't I make some for you?"

Xing saw that the scenery here was nice, so he decided to have a picnic here.

"Can you still cook?"

Jizi was a little surprised because she had never seen the captain cook.

"You're kidding. Where do you think the show Valkyrie's Kitchen came from?"

Xing put one hand on his waist and laughed disdainfully.

"Sister Jizi, Xing cooks delicious food. He has prepared a large table of delicious food for everyone."

When Bronya heard that Xing wanted to cook, she couldn't help but think back to her time in the lower district and quickly defended Xing.

"Really? Then I'll wait and see."

Ji Zi didn't care. Anyway, she had very low requirements for food, as long as it didn't kill people, it was fine.

"Is this... a picnic?"

Seeing that the three of them agreed to this, Ruan Mei couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, you probably haven't eaten since you came all the way here, right? It's just right for us to eat together."

Xing nodded and took out pots and pans from her backpack.

I can't use up all the things in the universe gift bag, so they just take up space if I don't keep them.

"it is good."

Ruan Mei nodded, then walked to the side, bent down, and gently swept her slender hands across the grass.

I saw the dense grass suddenly grow wildly, and the vines of several branches climbed up to the branches and then hung down like a birdcage.

Then, in just a few seconds, emerald green leaves grew on the vines.

A tent made entirely of leaves and vines has been set up on the ground.

Even a few leaf stools fell from mid-air and landed steadily in front of the tent.

This scene left Himeko and Bronya stunned. It was too magical.

From the methods used, the two also got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of Ruan Mei's methods.

Xing didn't care much about it. After all, Ruan Mei was a person who could turn a desolate death planet into a prosperous one for species, so this little thing was nothing.

However, Ruan Mei was also considerate enough to get Xing a table to facilitate cooking.

There was nothing to eat early in the morning, so Xing thought of making some dumplings, which were convenient.

Bronya curiously leaned over the table and watched the process of making the stars.

Chop the meat and vegetables, mix the seasonings, make the dough, and then beautifully shaped dumplings are wrapped in his hands.

"What a cute shape, what is this?"

Bronya asked curiously as she looked at the rows of dumplings.

“It’s called dumplings.”

"How do you eat it?"

“Just boil it.”

“It’s a bit like making bread noodles and adding stuffing to them, and not knowing how it will taste.”

Bronya was a little excited, as she hadn't eaten Xing's cooking for a long time.

"It must taste good. There's a saying that goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing is more fun than..."

Xing subconsciously blurted out the famous quote, but he stopped it halfway through.

On the side, Ji Zi was staring at him with a half-smile on her face.

"Keep going, I'm listening. Why don't you say anything?"

"Um, I forgot what happened next."

Seeing Ji Zi's expression, Xing couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then started making dumplings again.

"What's behind that? What's more fun than that?"

Seeing that the sentence was only half said, Bronya suddenly became curious and asked Xing.

"Ahem, I really forgot. I'll tell you when I remember..."

Xing stared at the dumplings in his hand somewhat guiltily, not daring to look at Bronya's innocent eyes.

"Okay then, tell me when you remember."

Bronya nodded helplessly. It was really frustrating that she only said half of the sentence, but since Xing had forgotten, there was nothing she could do.

Xing nodded and said yes next time.

In order to divert Bronya's attention, Xing taught Bronya how to make dumplings.

However, the dumplings made by Bronya, who had never seen such a thing before, were all horrible to look at, with eyes wide open in death, which made Himeko unable to help laughing.

Seeing this, Xing simply came behind Bronya, grabbed Bronya's hands and began to teach her by example.

Seeing the two of them like that, Ji Zi's laughter gradually disappeared and then turned into numbness.

Why...do I feel like I'm being fed dog food?

Put dumplings into the pot, season in a bowl and serve.

In these mountains filled with fresh air, the rich aroma of meat is particularly prominent.

In the mountains, Topa was taking Zhang Zhang for a walk.

There is no other way. I have not been able to do asset appraisal these days. I am so free that I have to take a walk and do some accounting.

"This environment is quite good. It's only been two or three months, but the surrounding ecology has recovered to this level. Yalilo-VI is very tenacious. Don't you think so?"

“Hmph, hmph!”

It was not known whether Zhang Zhang was answering Topa's words. He just hummed twice to himself and then ran away in one direction.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

When Topa saw Zhangzhang suddenly running away, he was a little confused. There couldn't be any treasure nearby, right?

Following Zhang Zhang's footsteps, we ran towards the top of the mountain.

As he ran, he smelled a strong fragrance that made Topa sniff.

"What a delicious smell! It turns out that Zhang Zhang was attracted by the smell of food..."

Topa looked in the direction where the fragrance came from, wondering why there was such fragrant food here so early in the morning.

"Humph!"

Zhang Zhang hummed twice, determined the direction of the fragrance, and another wave of pigs rushed forward.

Topa followed closely behind, passed through a forest, and finally arrived at the cliff.

I saw three old acquaintances and a big shot whom I had only seen in profile sitting at a table eating breakfast.

"Eh? Dear friends from Wumingke, I didn't expect to see you all here... and Ms. Ruan Mei!"
