"Oh, is that so? That's really unfortunate. I was originally going to thank Mr. Lu Yuan in person. With the medical pod and the private room, I know he must have paid a lot of my medical expenses. I'm so glad I recovered so quickly, all thanks to him."

Cohen wore an innocent smile, like a naive young boy.

"These are all what you deserve, and what we, as husband and wife, should give you. After all, you were so badly injured while saving our lord," Rhine said in a businesslike tone.

Then Rhine handed another card to Cohen.

"Keep this card," Rhine said.

"What does this mean?" Cohen asked, looking puzzled.

"There's one million star coins in the card, which is the compensation you owe for your injury, including lost wages and emotional distress." "Of course, this money should rightfully be paid by the insect that caused this accident, but that insect is still at the police station, and I..."

"The leaders discussed it and decided that we would give you the money first," Rhine said.

Upon hearing this, Cohen immediately looked vehemently opposed.

"Mr. Rhein, please take this card back. I can't accept it. Saving Lord Lu Yuan was entirely my own choice. Lord Lu Yuan has already paid so much for my medical expenses, which is more than enough. If I accept this money, it would make it seem like I saved Lord Lu Yuan just to get money."

Rhein looked at Cohen strangely.

"How could you have such a thought? We're only giving you this money because that's how the law stipulates. Of course, the amount in the card is a little too much, but the extra part is our gratitude to you."

Rhine placed the card on the cabinet next to the hospital bed, and then continued speaking.

"You said before that you were an orphan, so I'd venture to guess that your financial situation isn't very good. Under these circumstances, you don't even want the money that you're entitled to, which makes it hard for me not to suspect your motives."

While Rhine was speaking, Cohen kept his head down, preventing the insect from seeing his expression.

After Rhine finished speaking, a while later, Cohen raised his head again, still smiling.

"Mr. Rhein, I'm really impressed with you. All I want is to not want the money, how can you make such a big deal out of it? Fine, fine, I'll take this card. Now you can rest assured, I'm not some kind of wicked person with ulterior motives," Cohen said.

Seeing that Cohen had put the card away, Rhine gave Cohen another way to contact him.

"Cohen, this is my lawyer's contact information. If you experience any health problems due to this injury, you can contact him anytime. He will do his best to help us."

"Okay, thank you."

This time, Cohen accepted it quickly and didn't refuse again.

"Then I won't disturb your rest any longer. I wish you a speedy recovery."

After Rhine finished speaking, he left the hospital.

Back home, Rhine explained the situation to Lu Yuan, who had no objection to Rhine's handling of the matter.

Lu Yuan thought he had given Cohen everything he needed to and that he would have no further contact with Cohen. However, not long after, he met Cohen again.

......

Two months later, on a workday, Lu Yuan was working normally in his office.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and a colleague from the human resources department walked in.

"Lord Lu Yuan, a new bug has arrived at headquarters. Let me introduce him to you."

Then, a colleague from the HR department brought in a new employee, and Lu Yuan was surprised to find that it was Cohen.

"Lord Lu Yuan, it's been a long time." Cohen greeted Lu Yuan familiarly, as if the two were long-lost friends.

"Uh, it's been a long time, Cohen, what brings you here?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise.

"I was looking for a job anyway. The job I had before was canceled because of my long-term hospitalization. After I was discharged, I saw that this foundation was recruiting, so I came to apply. I got the job very easily. But I didn't expect that you, Mr. Lu Yuan, would also work here. I thought I would never have the chance to meet you again," Cohen said with a smile.

"Yes, what a coincidence," Lu Yuan said.

"Have you two known each other before?" Bug from the HR department asked with a gossipy look on his face.

"Yes, Cohen saved me before," Lu Yuan said.

"Oh, what a coincidence," said the HR manager.

Because they needed to take Cohen to meet other colleagues, after chatting for a few more minutes, the HR person took Cohen away.

After the two insects left, Lu Yuan resumed his normal work routine.

......

Soon it was time to leave work. Seeing the message from Rhine on his communicator that he had arrived downstairs, Lu Yuan, who had been preparing to leave work, picked up a bunch of pale yellow flowers from the table and ran downstairs.

Once aboard the aircraft, Rhine looked at the little flower in Lu Yuan's arms and asked curiously.

"My lord, what is this?"

The flowers are packaged too plainly; they don't look like flowers meant to be a gift at all.

"This was sent to me by the director of the orphanage on Planet Kami. He said it's a specialty of their planet and is good for the spiritual sea. You should try it," Lu Yuan said.

Some time ago, Rhine didn't know why, but he felt that his mental sea would occasionally itch.

Lu Yuan specifically went into Rhine's mental sea to check, but everything was normal and there was nothing unusual.

Since Rhine couldn't go to the hospital to have her mental sea checked, and since she only had this feeling occasionally and for a very short time, and no new cracks had appeared in her mental sea, she simply ignored it.

Rhine didn't want to get involved anymore, but Lu Yuan was completely worried. He consulted various online resources about the reasons for this situation and was even tricked into buying a bunch of health products online that claimed to be good for mental health. Of course, they didn't work at all, and he was cheated out of a lot of money.

A few days ago, Lu Yuan chatted online with the director of an orphanage on a remote planet that the foundation donated to. The director of the orphanage on Kami mentioned that there was a kind of flower on their planet whose fragrance was beneficial to the spiritual sea of ​​female insects.

Desperate, Lu Yuan asked the hospital director to send him some flowers—this small bunch of pale yellow flowers.

After listening to Lu Yuan's explanation, Rhein remained noncommittal. He felt that the flower was probably useless, but since Lu Yuan wanted him to try it, he might as well give it a shot.

"By the way, Rhine, guess who I saw at the company today?"

"Who?"

"Cohen, the Cohen who saved me before."

Rhine's eyes narrowed.

"What did he do there?"

"They said they were looking for a job and applied, isn't that a coincidence?"

"Yes, what a coincidence," Rhine said softly.
