Ruan Mei begged me to go back? I can't go back anymore

His relaxed hands unconsciously clenched, causing his slender knuckles to look pale.

She didn't know how Jizi knew about the relationship between Hayami and herself, but...

"Throw it away?"

The woman's tone of voice when she asked back sounded both dissatisfied and bluffing.

"I didn't lose him, he was the one who...!"

Ji Zi has been traveling in the universe and among various major forces for many years, and has cultivated a strong aura. Therefore, she did not retreat at all because of Ruan Mei's attitude.

Instead, she took a step forward, came in front of Ruan Mei, looked down at her coldly, and interrupted her as soon as she opened her mouth.

"It did what by itself? It ran away by itself?"

Maybe, the phase spirit fire is originally a spiritual flame.

"But if it weren't for your indifference and irresponsibility, how could such consequences have occurred?"

"Shouldn't you personally undo the tragedy you created?"

Ruan Mei is a scientific researcher after all, and her temperament tends to be quiet and elegant. It is inevitable that she will be at a disadvantage in front of a leader like Ji Zi.

Not to mention that as a woman, Ji Zi herself has abundant capital that most women can hardly reach.

Many women simply felt much inferior in terms of momentum just by standing in front of her.

Over the years, the only person who could confront Ji Zi head-on without losing was Kafka, a woman who had never known the taste of fear.

Ruan Mei is obviously not among them.

But her trance at the moment was not caused by Ji Zi's body pressure.

The woman took a step back unconsciously, lowered her head, and her black hair swayed.

"A tragedy created by me?"

She murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly, and she had lost her usual composure.

She hated women like Ji Zi who made everything clear.

Ruan Mei prefers the implicit approach.

She thought others could understand.

She thought he would understand.

But the reality repeatedly disappointed her.

Could it be that she was wrong?

Is it that her understanding of "love" is wrong?

"Do you think I don't want to make amends?"

"It's too late!"

Ruan Mei still remembers how she felt that night when she witnessed through the screen everything that Zao Wu, the boy she created, did.

So many regrets, so many expectations, all turned into nothingness!

He already has a new mom who has eyes all over him!

And in his eyes, there is no room for me at all!

He was willing to sacrifice everything to protect the woman named "Kafka".

What about yourself?

He created himself with his own hands!

Why did he come to the space station but not even want to visit me?

Don’t you deserve respect?

Ruan Mei certainly knew that Zao Wu had experienced many adventures outside, had companions, and had people who cared about and loved him.

Now even Ji Zi from the Star Train has come to speak up for him.

But she is obviously...

Ruan Mei suddenly felt extremely ridiculous.

And the funniest thing is.

Even the name Zao Wu was only known to Ruan Mei through listening to the Black Tower's global broadcast!

Ji Zi hugged her chest and looked straight at Ruan Mei's body, which was hugging its arms as if escaping. The oppressive force of the snow-white body did not diminish in the slightest.

But there was one thing she didn't understand.

Wasn't it just that I was the one who exposed the fact that I had lost the "Phase Spirit Fire"?

Wouldn't it be better if she just apologized sincerely, and then used her scientist's brain to come up with a way to locate the phase fire?

How come my strength in mobilizing troops to punish the culprit is less than 70%?

She looked like she was about to fall down?

Are all scientists' psychology so fragile?

The Black Tower is not like that!

Ji Zi and Heita have been partners for many years.

If she knew that Zao Wu had returned, she would probably be excited for once.

However, it would be better to tell Black Tower about this before the Starry Sky Train sets off for its next destination.

Otherwise, Ji Zi was really worried that Heita would use his authority to force her Hayami to stay.

Don't underestimate how crazy this woman, Heita, can be once she becomes interested in something or someone!

As for Ruan Mei...

Zao Wu has nothing to do with her.

Ji Zi just wants to know the whereabouts of the Phase Spirit Fire.

Naturally, no news about Zao Wu's return would be told to this gloomy woman who was hiding in the confined compartment and conducting creepy life research.

"You can't just say it's too late to clear yourself from this!"

Jizi gave the final announcement.

"Whenever you find the whereabouts of the Phase Spirit Fire, please be sure to tell me."

"After all, its loss is essentially due to your negligence! Ms. Ruan Mei!"

After Ji Zi finished speaking, she shook her bright red hair, spread out her long legs as slender as jade, and turned around and walked back the way she came.

Ruan Mei was left looking up in a daze, staring at her back in surprise.

"Phase...spiritual fire?"

What on earth is Jizi talking about?

Isn't it justice related to Zao Wu that she came to ask for?

Ruan Mei felt it was absurd and funny.

On the other hand, she was extremely sensitive by nature and realized everything hidden behind Ji Zi's words.

She came to ask about the whereabouts of the Phase Spirit Fire.

This means that someone has disappeared due to the phase fire's traveling properties.

And that person happens to be an extremely important person in Ji Zi's mind!

Ruan Mei's heart was extremely depressed.

Because a very bold idea suddenly popped up.

And it accelerated again!

Chapter 56: The Returning Cat Cake and the Boy

Since there is one, there is two.

So after two, there may not necessarily be three.

Even if Zao Wu was swallowed by the black hole, it doesn't mean that he has no chance of survival, right?

Logically, Ruan Mei should believe in science.

But at the end of science, the existence of Boshizun is already sci-fi enough.

Including Ruan Mei herself, she is also constantly moving towards that indescribable realm.

The morning mist should have been a small ripple or wave on the road the woman was walking on.

But for some reason, as time went on, the ripples continued and the waves turned into a tsunami.

Even though Ruan Mei tried many ways to build a high dam in her heart.

Even if it can be resisted briefly.

The occasional crash of waves and tides still brought a violent impact that shook her heart.

She was even more afraid...

That was the day the dam collapsed.

How should she face the overturned rivers and seas, and the endless surging unknown things?

These days, Ruan Mei's mind was in a state of confusion, and she always found it difficult to completely clear her mind and focus on experiments in the field of life sciences.

So she tried to fight that inexplicable emptiness by making pastries.

The good news is that my pastry skills have improved.

The bad news... No matter how delicious the pastries are, Ruan Mei always feels that something is missing when she tastes them. It is a pity to throw them away, but they are tasteless when eaten.

So there will always be a lot left over, which adds to the waste.

If only someone could help her eliminate some of them.

It would be nice if someone could be by her side and give her some advice.

If someone could learn her craft and bake it themselves...

Originally, there should have been someone there.

But why is there no one around me now?

It feels like there is a thorn planted deep in my heart, which I don't know when.

Ruan Mei couldn't pull it out, so she could only endure the stinging pain with every heartbeat.

The woman's bare hands slowly touched the ancient zither called "Ruan" beside her, and she plucked it lightly with her fingertips, but the tune she played was obscure and difficult to understand.

Ji Zi heard the sound of a piano coming from the laboratory behind her. Although she was surprised by the lingering sadness in the sound, she did not turn around.

When she left the confinement section, she passed by a handsome blue-haired man wearing a plaster head sculpture and clothes that looked neither like clothes nor robes.

The other person's outstanding appearance made Ji Zi take a second look.

It was this glance that made the knowledgeable Ji Zi suddenly remember the other party's identity, and her eyes lit up and she briefly stopped her pioneering steps.

"Excuse me, are you Doctor Latio?"

It is surprising that Ji Zi's attitude towards Ruan Mei and Dr. Zhenli is completely different.

But there is a reason for this.

Jizi had heard of the name of the true doctor Latio a long time ago, and deeply agreed with his famous statement that "knowledge should be shared."

And as far as she knew, Dr. Truth was undoubtedly on the path of integrating knowledge and action.

He is dedicated to spreading knowledge throughout the universe and curing the stubborn disease called stupidity.

So far, he has achieved many world-renowned achievements in the universe, benefiting multiple planets and civilizations, and the students he taught have continued to shine in many fields.

On this point alone, he is in stark contrast to Nguyen Mei, who studies life almost entirely for personal purposes.
