The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 247 One Heart

“I said…you’re not so anxious because you’re afraid of Holly, are you?” Huan Xian repeated.

“Ever since the first round of supplies came out, you’ve started to have concerns and become hesitant. You’ve become different from when I first met you.” The other person didn’t seem to expect an immediate answer from Jiang Hui, but rather asked in a questioning tone, as if asking a question to themselves.

"why?"

This time, it was Jiang Hui's turn to be stunned. Wow... this question really stumped her.

In an instant, the already quiet energy point became extremely quiet, and everyone seemed to slow their breathing as the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Jiang Hui's expression became strange. Although her demeanor remained relatively calm, subtle changes in her facial expressions were noticeable. She seemed to have thought of something, or perhaps she herself was experiencing some kind of confusion.

Finally, as if she had figured something out, she relaxed her brow and sighed, "There are some, but that's normal, because I'm not alone anymore."

When she first entered, it was arguably the most carefree time for her, because she was all alone. She was single and had no one else to worry about, so she could fight her way through without restraint. At most, she would feel a chill down her spine at times, a sense of unease as she worried that enemies might suddenly appear and ambush her.

But then she met Zhou Xiuwen, then Huan Xian, and later she brought Hillman and Clarence along with her.

The formation of their team was much more difficult and fraught with obstacles than that of other teams. In fact, the competition was nearing its end when the official team was finally formed. But Jiang Hui was certain that every member here was trustworthy and reliable, including Clarence, who had just joined.

With the support of these teammates, their path on the training field was indeed much easier, and they no longer felt uneasy with nothing to rely on. However, they also had an added responsibility, and this responsibility was becoming heavier and heavier on their shoulders.

Jiang Hui could no longer be as carefree as before. The more difficulties they overcame, the more effort everyone put in, and the more trust her teammates placed in her, the more pressure she felt, and the less she dared to relax.

She couldn't quite describe the feeling. Although her teammates were very supportive, she could sense that she had more and more things to think about. Coupled with the continuous physical exertion, she became increasingly tense.

Especially after her unexpected leg problem not long ago, it disrupted her mental balance. Although she still seemed to be behaving as usual, she was less confident.

Since entering the second round of supplies, she has become even more aware that she has become a burden to several teammates, a situation that Jiang Hui, who has always advocated "relying on herself," cannot accept.

However, she was also a self-reflective person. She knew that Huan Xian was right. Her state of mind for this period of time might have been a bit off. She had been too nervous and had lost her sense of proportion, becoming hesitant and restrained.

So it's still a matter of insufficient self-cultivation; an unbalanced mindset easily leads to anxiety and fear of loss. She's been an adult for many years, yet she needs a teenager to remind her; she really needs to reflect on herself.

Jiang Hui thought this was the end of it and was about to say something concluding: "Sigh, it's also because of my..." bad mood.

"So it's because of us?" Huan Xian persisted in his earlier point: "You feel pressured because of us."

This is practically a life-or-death question.

Jiang Hui was slightly startled. How could the other person have come up with such a completely unrelated theory? They'd elevated her to such an unrealistic level all of a sudden.

She waved her hand, saying, "You can't say that... It's my own mindset that's bad, I was too impetuous."

Jiang Hui chuckled, "Actually, I'm not as conflicted as you make me out to be. To be honest, we're all gathered here for a school competition. Mentioning it as a sense of collective responsibility seems a bit too abstract." "But the reason we've teamed up is out of trust and recognition. I feel that everyone trusts me, and since everyone is part of this group and has put in so much effort, as a member of the team, I naturally want to work even harder. I want to win, but it's not just about winning." It would be even better if everyone could win beautifully together.

So, silly girl, don't dwell on these "philosophical questions." What she's saying is already pretty cheesy. Does she really think she could actually say something as idealistic and slightly cringeworthy as "I want to lead everyone to victory"...?

Jiang Hui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had managed to convince the stubborn guy with his reasoning. However, Huan Xian's logic was surprisingly smooth, and he managed to circumvent the logic.

The other person listened quietly as Jiang Hui finished speaking, a long and somewhat convoluted speech, his expression indifferent. This was the third time Jiang Hui had seen him like this; his cold expression seemed unlike that of a living person. But for some reason, Jiang Hui felt that the other person was actually unhappy beneath that demeanor.

"You know we trust you, so you should also learn to trust us... When others are in trouble, you rush in to help without caring about anything else, but when you're in trouble, you try to absolve yourself of all responsibility. Everything is your fault, and no one else has any problems or responsibilities?"

"Jiang Hui, you're being incredibly foolish and taking a huge loss by cooperating with others like this."

Is there...?

Jiang Hui was stumped by the question and hesitated for a moment. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she could only sigh and say, "Maybe."

Strangely, upon hearing Jiang Hui's seemingly ambiguous reply, Huan Xian's expression softened considerably, and he raised an eyebrow: "You really should give us more trust. This team isn't just about you." (This is something you taught me.)

"We can win."

He stretched out his hand and raised his fist at Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment, then understood and couldn't help but laugh, returning the punch with her fist.

Just as the two were about to meet, another, fairer hand suddenly appeared from the other side. It was clear that the owner of the arm rarely went out, and even appeared to be fairer than Jiang Hui, a girl.

"Hey, you two are going too far! Aren't I on your team? You didn't even call us to cheer together," Zhou Xiuwen said unhappily.

“Me too!” Hillman had been listening from the sidelines for who knows how long, and he was very unhappy that the two “masterminds” had forgotten about them.

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and Jiang Hui was instantly at a loss for words: "Okay, okay, let's do it together... wouldn't that be a bit too childish?" Then, as if she remembered something, she looked at a figure sitting a little further away who seemed out of place with them.

The others also looked in that direction almost simultaneously, as if by unspoken agreement.

Clarence: ...

Inside the training ground, outside the screen—five fists gently touched together, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Haha, it's inexplicably funny that Xiao Jiang, who didn't teach Xiao Huan but ended up being taught a lesson himself. They're both equally bad, one secretly sacrificing himself, the other a believer in individualism. They both need to reflect on themselves, learn how to distinguish between individual and group positions, learn how to be an individual within a group, and adapt appropriately to truly grow into upright and qualified soldiers.

P.S.: There's one more chapter coming soon, but don't stay up all night waiting, come check it out tomorrow morning.
