Chapter 1335 Worry

Due to continuous rainfall, serious water accumulation occurred at the construction site. If the accumulated water cannot be drained in time, it will not only damage the buildings under construction, but also endanger the lives of the workers. Zhou Xing was anxious and immediately organized the workers to rescue and save the site. He rushed to the front regardless of the danger, reinforced the embankment with sandbags, and started the drainage equipment. Ling Xue also rushed to the scene. She looked at Zhou Xing's busy figure in the wind and rain, and felt worried and moved. She also joined the rescue team and fought side by side with Zhou Xing.

With their joint efforts, the accumulated water was finally successfully drained and the building was safe. However, this disaster also brought huge losses to the project. Some completed parts needed to be repaired and reconstructed, and the construction period was delayed a lot. Faced with this sudden change, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue felt unprecedented pressure. They not only had to deal with technical challenges, but also faced doubts from customers and pressure from the company.

As the investigation deepened, dangers came one after another. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were assassinated by a mysterious organization many times. Once, they were ambushed on their way back to the Ministry of Justice. Many assassins came from all directions, and arrows rained down. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue fought back to back, wielding their swords, the swords flashed, and they cut a bloody path among the assassins. But there were so many assassins that they gradually ran out of strength.

At the critical moment, a mysterious old man suddenly appeared. The old man held a cane and looked frail, but he had deep inner strength. He waved the cane and repelled the killers. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue took the opportunity to escape from danger, and they were grateful to the old man. The old man told them that he was a friend of the murdered martial arts master, and had been secretly investigating the matter, and knew many secrets about the mysterious organization.

The old man also revealed that the leader of the mysterious organization was a ruthless master who was good at using poison, and they had to be careful in dealing with it. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue followed the old man's instructions and began to look for the mysterious organization's lair. However, their actions were discovered by the enemy.

After many hardships, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue finally found the lair of the mysterious organization. It was a cave hidden in the mountains. The cave was full of traps, and they carefully avoided them.

After entering the cave, they were filled with a pungent smell. They saw many kidnapped civilians and gangsters being forced to do various labors. It turned out that the mysterious organization not only stole property, but also kidnapped people for their evil experiments.

Deep in the cave, they met the leader of the mysterious organization—a gloomy man. When the man saw Zhou Xing and Ling Xue breaking in, he smiled disdainfully. He taunted, "I was surprised that you could find this place. But do you think you can stop my plan?"

Zhou Xing said righteously: "What you did is intolerable. Today we will bring you to justice!" The man snorted coldly, waved the fan in his hand, and shot out several poisonous needles. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue dodged sideways and rushed towards him quickly.

The two sides launched a fierce duel. The man was highly skilled in martial arts, and the fan in his hand was unpredictable, so Zhou Xing and Ling Xue could not get close to him for a while. But they cooperated tacitly. Ling Xue pretended to attack the front to attract the man's attention, while Zhou Xing looked for flaws from the flank. After several rounds of confrontation, Zhou Xing finally saw the right opportunity, kicked the fan in the man's hand away, and then punched the man in the chest.

The man was knocked to the ground, but he was unwilling to accept defeat. He took out a poison pill from his arms and prepared to swallow it to commit suicide. Zhou Xing was quick-witted and stepped forward, snatched the poison pill from his hand, and shouted loudly: "Your conspiracy will not succeed!" At this time, Ling Xue led the rescue team to rescue all the people in the cave and the kidnapped people.

They took all the leaders and members of the mysterious organization back to the Ministry of Justice. After interrogation, they learned that the mastermind behind the incident was a scoundrel who had a grudge against the victim's martial arts master's family. He wanted to use the secret book to rule the martial arts world and restore his glory.

Zhou Xing stood on the observation platform of the boundless universe, gazing at the brilliant and mysterious galaxy. As a senior interstellar route surveyor, his job is to draw safe and efficient interstellar routes to guide the navigation of spacecraft in the vast universe. Each route is like a line he carefully draws on the canvas of the universe, carrying the hopes and dreams of countless interstellar travelers.

He wears a signature dark blue space suit with twinkling star-like logos on it, which is a symbol of the honor and experience he has accumulated in countless interstellar explorations. His face is cold and resolute, and his deep eyes are like the twinkling stars in the night sky, revealing his endless curiosity and desire to explore the unknown universe. Under his high nose bridge, his lips are tightly closed with a hint of rigor, but once opened, it seems that he can spit out endless knowledge about the mysteries of the stars.

At this moment, he was concentrating on the star mapping tool in his hand, carefully recording the coordinates of a newly discovered planet, the strength of its gravitational field, the distribution of its magnetic field, the trajectory of the surrounding asteroid belt, and other key data. These data were crucial to determining the safety of the route, and any slight mistake could put the spacecraft sailing on this route into an irreparable situation.

Zhou Xing has encountered many difficult challenges in his career. Once, he was ordered to map a route through a dangerous galaxy cluster. The galaxy cluster is full of violent stellar storms, powerful gravitational disturbances, and frequent space pirates. Zhou Xing led his small team and drove the mapping spacecraft carefully through it. In the process of mapping the route, they encountered a sudden stellar flare, and the strong radiation instantly hit the shield of the spacecraft. The instruments in the spacecraft kept flashing, and the alarms sounded one after another. But Zhou Xing was calm and quickly directed the team members to adjust the attitude of the spacecraft, use the energy dispersion device of the shield to reduce the impact of radiation, and continue data collection work against time. Finally, the route was successfully mapped, opening up a passage to the new world for many brave explorers and merchant ships later.

Another time, they lost their way in a mysterious nebula area. The nebula gas concentration there was extremely high, the light was distorted and refracted, and the conventional navigation equipment completely failed. Relying on his years of accumulated astronomical knowledge and deep understanding of the laws of the universe, Zhou Xing gradually found the right direction by sensing the changes in the weak magnetic field in the nebula and carefully analyzing the light from distant stars. That experience made him famous and became a legend in the field of interstellar route mapping.

In the distant interstellar space station, Ling Xue is busy in every corner of the kitchen. She is light and her steps are like an elf floating in space. Her long black hair is always tied into a simple ponytail, swaying gently with her movements. Her face is like a flower blooming in the universe, her fair skin is faintly flushed, and under her curved eyebrows are a pair of bright and gentle eyes. When she smiles, it seems to dispel the fatigue and loneliness of the entire space station. Ling Xue is responsible for cooking for the astronauts, staff and interstellar travelers on the space station. She comes from a planet that loves food, where the food culture has a long history and each ingredient contains unique stories and emotions. She incorporates her love for the food of her hometown and her perception of the new environment into every dish.

Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine through the transparent dome of the space station, Ling Xue begins her work. She carefully selects the freshest ingredients, and those exotic fruits and vegetables and rare meats from different planets are turned into mouth-watering delicacies in her hands. She will use the herbs brought from the blue planet to make a unique sauce and spread it on the roasted golden and crispy alien poultry meat; she will also carve colorful interstellar fruits into exquisite dishes and pair them with sweet soup boiled with cosmic energy spring water.

Once, an old interstellar miner stopped at the space station. He had long lost interest in food because he had eaten too many simple and rough nutritious meals during his long mining career. When Ling Xue learned about this, she specially prepared a special hometown dish for him - a bowl of steaming handmade noodles. She kneaded and rolled the noodles by hand, making the noodles uniform in thickness and full of strength. Then she added fresh vegetables and pickled bacon to the carefully boiled bone broth, and finally served the cooked noodles in a bowl and drizzled a spoonful of fragrant meat sauce. When the old miner took the first bite of noodles, tears flashed in his eyes. The familiar taste instantly evoked his deep longing for his hometown and relatives. At that moment, Ling Xue understood that food is not only to satisfy the desire for food, but also to convey emotions and comfort the soul.

Ling Xue's reputation for delicious food spread quickly throughout the interstellar space station, and many people would come to taste her dishes. Her kitchen also became the warmest and most popular place in the space station, where people communicated, shared stories, and temporarily forgot the fatigue and loneliness of interstellar travel.

After an interstellar route planning meeting, Zhou Xing strolled in the corridor of the space station, his mind still immersed in the complex star map and route data. Unconsciously, he came to the restaurant area, and a tempting aroma came to his nose, instantly attracting his attention. He walked in the direction of the aroma and pushed open the door of the restaurant.

The restaurant was bustling with people coming and going, but Zhou Xing only had eyes for the figure busy shuttling between the kitchen and the restaurant. Ling Xue was carrying a plate of exquisite dishes to a table, with a warm smile on her face, and she whispered, "Please enjoy your meal, I hope this dish suits your taste." Zhou Xing's eyes were fixed on Ling Xue, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

At this moment, a reckless young pilot accidentally bumped into the food supply table next to him, and the tableware and ingredients on it fell one after another. Ling Xue heard the noise and turned around to check the situation, but accidentally bumped into Zhou Xing who rushed to help. The dishes on the plate drew an arc in the air. Fortunately, Zhou Xing reacted quickly and reached out to catch the plate that was about to fall to the ground. The two people's eyes met at this moment, and time seemed to freeze.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Ling Xue's face flushed red, she quickly took the plate from Zhou Xing, lowered her head and hurriedly turned around to clean up the mess. Zhou Xing looked at her flustered back, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and shouted: "It's okay, are you okay?" Ling Xue didn't turn around, but just responded softly: "I'm fine, thank you." Then he continued to be busy with the work at hand.

This small accident planted a seed in the hearts of the two. Zhou Xing found that he would always think of the busy figure in the kitchen and the bright smile. And Ling Xue would occasionally sneak a glance at the man sitting in the corner in deep thought while cleaning the table, and a ripple would appear in her heart.

A few days later, Zhou Xing summoned up the courage to invite Ling Xue to dinner on the observation deck of the space station. Ling Xue hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed with a blushing face. As night fell, the entire space station was surrounded by bright stars, and the observation deck became the best place to overlook the universe.

Zhou Xing arrived at the observation deck in advance and carefully arranged a small dining table. On the table were special delicacies made from precious ingredients he collected from various planets, including bread spread with starry sky jam, exquisite snacks made from galactic caviar, and cups of interstellar drinks that sparkled with strange light. He also lit a few fluorescent candles that exuded a soft fragrance, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere.

Ling Xue slowly walked up to the viewing platform, and was filled with surprise when she saw everything in front of her. She was wearing a lavender dress, which fluttered gently in the breeze, like a fairy descending to the earth. Zhou Xing stood up, walked forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Good evening, Miss Ling Xue, it's an honor to spend this wonderful night with you." Ling Xue smiled shyly and said softly, "Good evening, Mr. Zhou Xing, it's really beautiful here."

The two sat opposite each other and began to enjoy dinner. At first, they were a little reserved, and the conversation only revolved around food and life on the space station. But as time went on, the atmosphere gradually relaxed. Zhou Xing told about some of his adventures and dangerous experiences during the process of mapping interstellar routes. Ling Xue listened with great interest, and from time to time she uttered exclamations and concerned voices. Ling Xue also shared her unique insights into food and her good memories of her home planet. Zhou Xing listened attentively, with tenderness and smiles in his eyes.

"Do you know? One time when I was surveying the route near a gas planet, the spacecraft's thrusters suddenly failed. I thought I would stay there forever and was terrified. But just when I was almost desperate, I found a way to use the changes in the gas planet's magnetic field to repair the thrusters, and finally I managed to escape danger." Zhou Xing narrated affectionately.

Ling Xue put down the cutlery in her hand, stared at Zhou Xing, and said worriedly: "It must have been very dangerous. Aren't you scared when you think about it now?" Zhou Xing looked at her, shook his head and said: "I was scared at the time, but now looking back, those experiences are precious treasures in my life. Moreover, every time I encounter difficulties, I tell myself to persevere, because I know there are better things waiting for me, just like having dinner here with you now."

Ling Xue's face suddenly turned as red as a ripe apple, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
