NFBE Chapter 255 Jealousy
Chapter 255 Jealousy
After hearing Yan San's words, Xi Yu's thoughts drifted back to the world a thousand years in the future.
The vast and boundless universe, the dazzling and brilliant light of planets.
These were the views she used to love most.
Suddenly someone gently patted her shoulder. She turned around and saw Yan San's enlarged face.
"What are you doing?!" Startled, Xi Yu leaned back abruptly, unaware that a faint blush had crept onto her cheeks.
"...What are you thinking about?" Yan San stared at her intently with a dark look in his eyes. He couldn't be wrong; deep in her eyes was longing. Who was she thinking about?
Xi Yu was a little embarrassed. How could she have done something like spacing out in front of people! And of all times, in front of Yan San!
"It's nothing, it's almost time for the shift to change, I'll go wake up the next person on duty."
Xi Yu stood up a little too quickly, and the hot water bottle in her hand fell to the ground, where Yan San caught it.
His lips curled slightly upward, and there was a barely perceptible sharpness and deep jealousy in his deep eyes.
He stood up, put the hot water bottle back into Xi Yu's hand, and said with a faint smile, "Take it with you. The temperature of these pebbles can last for half a day. I'll go wake up the person who will be on shift next."
Xi Yu gripped the hand warmer in her hand. Yan San's tone seemed to carry a hint of anger. Had she done something to displease him?
Unable to figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it, found a suitable place, and closed her eyes to rest.
The next day, after the team had regrouped, they set off again toward their destination.
Although Liang Shan'er and the others had complaints, they dared not express them directly, since they had requested this mission on their own initiative. They had thought that going on the expedition with the First Legion would allow them to build good relationships with the legion members, but they hadn't considered the arduousness of the mission.
They were suffering terribly, and their frostbite was increasing.
Finally, on the third day, the team arrived at their destination.
In the midst of a snow-white iceberg, there was a huge, bottomless pit with drag marks beside it, making it look like a spacecraft had crashed.
As soon as the team arrived, Yan San ordered them to stay put and have the technical staff use the AI equipment to analyze the inside of the pit.
Everyone had a task to complete; some were starting fires, some were setting up tents, and others were preparing hot meals.
Despite the chilblains on her feet, An Ying approached a young team member with a friendly smile and asked, "May I help you? Would you like some thick soup tonight?"
In extremely cold regions, you can't always rely on compressed food; sometimes you still need to eat some hot food to restore your body temperature.
The young team member was somewhat flattered. After all, An Ying was the most beautiful woman in the capital. Despite being injured, she took the initiative to help. He couldn't help but say with emotion, "No need, you go and sit down. Don't collapse again!"
The young team member meant well by showing concern for An Ying's health, but his words sounded like he was mocking them for collapsing frequently along the way and slowing them down.
An Ying's expression stiffened slightly, but she smiled politely and said, "I've already rested, I'll be fine."
The male team member with a mustache that circled his mouth shouted loudly and rudely, "You pampered young ladies can just stand by and watch! Don't come and cause trouble!"
Being so blatantly disliked made even An Ying feel embarrassed. She forced a smile and quickly returned to the tent that had been specially set up for them.
