"That's it."

Edmi was silent for a while. If it were any other girl, she would have accepted this excuse by now, but she was different. She always thought about others and analyzed problems from the perspective of practicality and cost-effectiveness.

"Commander, I think you should avoid spending money on this kind of commercial gimmick. You know, these packages that offer toys in exchange for collaborations are all overpriced."

"Even if I collect all the badges, they only give me a few dolls. They're not worth anything at all. It's such a waste."

Edmi whispered that although she had a job similar to that of a civil servant in Ark, she still lived a very frugal life on weekdays.

"Waste nothing."

"This Happy Meteor Set is carefully selected by me. You'll know once you take a bite."

"Okay, I'll try it."

The soft bread dough and crisp vegetables are mixed together, with the sizzling freshly fried pork steak in the middle. Although there is no sauce, the original taste is just as the name suggests, like a meteor falling on the taste buds, making people excited.

"Is it tasty?"

"Well, it's delicious."

The corners of Edmi's mouth curled up slightly. She liked the feeling of sitting and eating with others, so she wouldn't feel lonely. But on weekdays, she didn't dare to get too close to anyone.

A child who has been abandoned once will not be able to trust anyone easily.

"Commander, can I ask you a question? Why are you so nice to me?"

"Didn't I just say that a favor should be reciprocated? Besides, this set meal is too large, and there are still many snacks that haven't been served. I can't finish it all by myself, so let's work together to get that doll."

"I see."

Although Edmi was a little scared inside.

But she readily agreed to the request.

Although she repeatedly denied her feelings, she had actually been deeply attracted to him from a long time ago. It wasn't just because of his looks, but she wanted to see his heart. Would he hate Nikki? Would he talk to a girl like me with such low self-esteem? Would he abandon me?

Edmi always thinks a lot.

But since they were just sitting together and simply eating a burger, she felt that she would not fall into his tenderness so easily.

"I like simple relationships... Since the Commander has said so, please give me your guidance in the future."

273

Chapter 273 I don’t want to be abandoned again.

While eating hamburgers, Green and Edmi sat together and chatted.

Although Edmi seldom complained, she did complain a little when she had the rare opportunity to chat, about the high workload and low salary of the central government, and how Nikki was treated differently in terms of treatment.

"Commander, do you know?"

"Even Ark civil servants like us don't actually have the privilege of living in a single room."

"Because the Ark has a rule that all Nikkis in the same unit must live in the same dormitory to facilitate overall management."

"Living in a dormitory with others is actually quite troublesome. Privati always screams and cries because she can't find shampoo and clothes, and Yulsha often gets drunk and throws up on the dormitory floor."

"But it's okay."

"Although my life is very ordinary, I also know that my job is not easy to come by. Compared with those Nikkis who only have numbers, I am very lucky to have the life I have now."

"..."

"Sorry, Commander, did I talk too much?"

Edmi took a light bite of the crisp lettuce, but then showed a slightly restrained expression.

Children who have been abandoned are always good at observing people's expressions and reading the atmosphere.

Therefore, she would think carefully before speaking every time to avoid accidentally causing unpleasant feelings to others.

"No, relax, Edmi."

Green smiled gently at her and said, "You don't have to be as formal as you are at work. After all, I'm not an unreasonable boss, right?"

"Okay, okay."

"I'll try my best, Commander."

Edmi's little face turned slightly red.

Ever since her father unilaterally cut off ties with her, she basically has no friends to talk to, and due to some psychological trauma, she is unwilling to socialize.

It is always difficult for abandoned children to trust others again.

The same goes for Edmi. Every time she closes her eyes, she is overwhelmed by the thoughts in her heart.

She knew very well that nothing in this world was eternal.

Friends will drift apart, relatives will become enemies again and again, lovers will always get tired of the old and love the new. It is always very difficult to trust others, especially when you are emotionally invested, but the other person suddenly leaves without a word. The feeling of being abandoned is heartbreaking every time you think about it.

"I don't want to be alone anymore."

"But the final outcome is always the same. No matter what, I will be the only one left."

"..."

"Since we already know how the story will end, why bother starting it? Wouldn't it be better not to have any thoughts about others from the beginning? As long as you don't take the initiative to contact anyone, Edmi, you will never get hurt again."

"So, you have to remember."

“Never initiate a complicated relationship, and never fall into it. Happiness will always end, only sadness and emptiness will last forever.”

"Don't hurt yourself again, okay, Edmi?"

Edmi woke up from his trance.

She remembered the words she had said to herself. Those words were the vows she made to herself when she was alone.

I don't want to socialize anymore, and I don't want to develop a close relationship with anyone anymore.

Because in the end, she will be ruthlessly abandoned again, just like the kitten abandoned by its owner yesterday.

But why, even though I have already made up my mind, I am still hesitant in my heart?

Edmi's face showed bitterness.

Human beings spend their entire lives pursuing the things they longed for that they never had in their childhood. This desire is like a ghost lingering in their hearts, and every time they think of it, they feel heartbroken.

Why isn't she like this?

The more you can't get something, the more you desire it. The more you fear something, the more you want it.

She was feeling anxious, but Green suddenly reached out and gently touched her head: "What's wrong, Edmi? Why do you suddenly look so bad? There's even cold sweat on your forehead."

"what!"

"No, it's nothing!"

"Sorry, Commander, I just remembered something... It's getting late, should we go back today?"

Edmi woke up from his trance and quickly apologized: "Yuerxia asked me to go back to work overtime, and I may have to deal with some documents tonight."

"Okay, let's eat burgers together again at this time tomorrow."

"Together tomorrow too... Okay, sure!"

"For the cat stuffed animal, I will definitely come!"

Edmi picked up her small schoolbag and hurried away with a red face.

Her petite figure leaving in a hurry left a lovely mark in Green's eyes.

……

late at night.

Triangle Force dormitory.

After a full day of government work, Yurxia returned to the dormitory, cursing. Just as she took off her uniform, the phone rang again. She answered the call angrily and immediately cursed back: "Hey, I remember you were the newcomer who just started last week, right? Although I know you may have encountered a problem at work and came to ask me, I have to tell you now. I have been working for almost eighteen hours today. Eighteen hours! You know? Even if I am Nikki, I still need to rest!"

"Stop whining and don't ask me if you have any questions. Figure it out on your own! Don't call me if you can't solve it! That's it!"

Yurxia hung up the phone angrily.

Just when I was about to sit down and rest for a while, another phone call came in.

"I've told you so many times that the materials are in the cabinet at the back of the office. Why do you have to ask me to confirm such a small matter? I clearly told you so many times this morning, but when have you guys ever listened to me?"

"Ask me such idiotic questions again, and you won't be able to work under me next time!"

"Find a way to get it yourself!"

After hanging up the phone again, Yurxia sighed, took a bottle of cocktail from the refrigerator in the dormitory, and took two big gulps.

After a long day at work, you have to have some wine to relieve your worries.

In a blink of an eye, Yurxia saw Privati lying on the bed, playing with her mobile phone comfortably. At this moment, she had a silly smile on her face, and no one knew what she was looking at.

When Yulsha walked in, she found that Privati was watching a new drama that was recently aired.

"Yourxia, you know what, this TV series is quite good, and it was produced by an entertainment company under Missilis."

Privati pointed at the actor on the screen and said, "Don't you think this actor looks quite like the commander?"

"It's quite similar."

"But isn't Missilis involved in human experiments and the internet? When did they start filming a TV series again? And the plot is so stupid. A female CEO worth tens of millions is actually fascinated by a rookie soldier. This plot is too outrageous to be written into a novel."

Yurxia curled her lips and said indifferently, "Alright, stop watching TV. Have you finished the report I asked you to do today? Burnim is pressing us. If we delay any further, you know they won't have the patience."

"Huh? Didn't they say the report wasn't due until next week?"

Privati's eyes widened and she looked up in surprise.

"You said it's due next week, so you really want to put it off until next week? Give me the report before dinner tomorrow, or you'll be working overtime, idiot."

Yurxia shook her head indifferently.

"Can you give me some time, Yurxia? I, I was planning to go to the amusement park tomorrow!"

"Going to the amusement park? You? Who are you going with?"

"Of course, Commander. The Golden Glory Amusement Park in Ark is having a sale tomorrow. It's so hard to get a discount, I definitely have to go and have fun. So, can we put off tomorrow's work for the day after tomorrow?"

"You wish. Work is work. Finish your work honestly before leaving."

"No!"

The work of the triangle force is not only extensive, but also very diverse.

From dispatching police to arrest terrorists to writing documents and manuscripts for leaders, as the white glove force of the central government, the three of them are considered to be the best among the Nikkis, and of course the busiest.

After all, Nikki's treatment isn't much better even though she works in the government.

There is an old saying that goes, the central government treats women as women, men as dogs, and Nikki as a slave. For the three members of the Triangle Force, working overtime for nearly twenty hours in a row is a very normal thing. Although they can hold on physically, this kind of mental fatigue is not something that ordinary people can endure.

"After a day of dog training, I don't want to see any strangers anymore."

"By the way, Edmi, why did you suddenly look in the mirror today?"

Yulxia sat in her chair and rested for a while, but suddenly found that Edmi, who had been silent, was placing a mirror on the table. She was facing the girl in the mirror, fiddling with her hair, and staring at herself in the mirror.

It was the first time Yurxia saw Edmi like this.

In her impression, although Edmi is petite and cute, she almost never dresses up.

It's rare to be so attentive...most likely you're in love.

Seeing her obsessed look, Yurxia couldn't help but curl her lips. She secretly took a picture of Edmi's back and sent it to the group.

——Triangle Force——

Yurxia: "Sent a picture."

Yurxia: "You know when girls are most attentive? That's when they're in love."

Privati: "Huh?"

Privati: "Ademi, are you in love?"

Edmi: "!!!"

Edmi: "I, I'm not... I just want to clean up because someone asked me out for dinner tomorrow."
