Space Survival: My Teammates Are All Top-Tier

Chapter 39 Zhang Ruoyu's ill-intentioned act of delivering apples in the middle of the night

"Don't look at me like that, Xiaoxiao is fine. What she needs right now is rest."

Liu Siqin's voice was weary.

"The situation just now was that the brain and mind underwent a shock far beyond their capacity. Although they woke up, their consciousness was not fully restored, and they experienced post-traumatic stress hallucinations."

"The monster she saw was most likely something she saw before she lost consciousness."

Liu Siqin withdrew her hand, rubbed her temples, and her face paled even more.

"This is currently the best course of action for her: forced sleep to allow her brain to rest."

"Jiang Shi, Xiao Xiao relies on you so much, so please take care of her. As for the captain, the situation is more complicated, so I will take charge of looking after him."

"Sister Liu, let me help you," Dai Xinhui said.

"Thank you for your help."

Liu Siqin did not refuse.

"Okay, then I'll take Xiaoxiao back first."

Jiang Shi nodded, then looked at the Spirit Desire Jellyfish, which had shrunk to the size of a palm and was severely injured and unconscious.

Free up one hand and grasp it in your palm.

The jellyfish tentacles twitched slightly, making a soft "blur" sound.

Jiang Shi carried the unconscious Wang Xiaoxiao and the Spirit Desire Jellyfish away.

The atmosphere at the scene was slightly relaxed.

The crowd silently assisted Liu Siqin and Dai Xinhui in carrying the unconscious Bai Yubing to Liu Siqin's cabin number two.

Only Zhang Ruoyu, after settling Bai Yubing in, walked slower and slower on her way back to her cabin.

He looked down at his own shadow.

Her fingers twisted the hem of her clothes, her mind in turmoil.

It has to be done tonight...

Jiang Shi's silhouette kept flashing through my mind, along with the black void worms...

Fear, resentment, a twisted envy, and a fluttering feeling she herself was ashamed to admit—all these things drew her deeper and deeper into the abyss.

She knew very well that her talent was average, and her potential was also average; in this dangerous environment, she would die sooner or later.

Now, S-rank Bai Yubing is seriously injured, and so is the only-rank Wang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Shi, the man who woke her up, made her want to be bound to him tightly.

They became a source of support.

However, this "reliance" comes at a price; it requires a stronger and more difficult-to-break relationship.

That means they'll have a relationship, and based on her observation, Jiang Shi would definitely not stand idly by.

But in reality, Jiang Shi had no feelings for her at all, and even felt disgusted by her.

Now, a small glass medicine bottle that she unexpectedly acquired has given rise to inappropriate thoughts in her mind.

"If we don't do this, we might never have another chance..."

She stopped, leaned against the bulkhead, and let out a long breath. The struggle in her eyes was gradually replaced by determination.

The second day was drawing to a close, in the bedroom of Jiang Shi's cabin number seven.

Wang Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, covered with Jiang Shi's thin coat, her breathing much more even.

However, his brows furrowed from time to time.

Jiang Shi sat on the chair by the bed, looking at the sleeping Xiao Xiao, and yawned widely.

I rubbed my slightly sore eyes and checked the time on my personal panel.

"It's 9 p.m., that's so late."

He muttered to himself, feeling a little hungry.

I'm a little hungry.

"Knock knock knock..."

The knocking came from the direction of the inner cabin door.

"Hmm? Who's coming over so late?"

Jiang subconsciously looked up, even though the cabin door was not visible from the bedroom.

Is this the evening star?

With a question in mind, Jiang Shi walked out of the bedroom, came to the door of the inner cabin, and reached out to open it.

The person standing outside the door was not Guo Wanxing.

It is Zhang Ruoyu.

Her face showed an apologetic, uneasy, and ingratiating expression.

Jiang Shi frowned immediately. "What are you doing here so late?"

Zhang Ruoyu had anticipated his reaction, and quickly waved her hand, her voice soft and gentle, with just the right amount of urgency:

"No, no, no, Jiang Shi, don't misunderstand."

"I... I came to bring Xiaoxiao some food. I hurt her yesterday, and I've been feeling really bad about it."

"She's injured and unconscious now, so I'm bringing her some supplies as a supplement."

As he spoke, his eyes met Jiang's, filled with sincerity.

"Here, these are apples. I got them by chance today. There were only 10 in total, and I gave you two as a small token of my appreciation."

Jiang Shi's gaze fell on the apples.

I haven't come across any fresh fruit yet.

Zhang Ruoyu actually gave up two apologies? What is she trying to do?

Jiang Shi scrutinized Zhang Ruoyu's expression.

But she did look very sincere, with expectation and timidity in her eyes, as if she really wanted to apologize.

Has he truly repented? It's the middle of the night, let's see...

Jiang Shi's vigilance had not subsided, but looking at the apple, his hunger pangs intensified.

Is refusing free food delivery as foolish as handing over found money to the police?

Moreover, Zhang Ruoyu seems genuinely interested in improving the relationship; having one more person who doesn't harbor hostility is always better than having one more enemy lurking in the shadows.

"I appreciate your kindness. Xiaoxiao is still sleeping, so I'll give the things to her for you."

As he spoke, he reached out and accepted the two apples Zhang Ruoyu offered without hesitation.

Seeing that he accepted it, a hint of bittersweet joy flashed deep in Zhang Ruoyu's eyes, but on the surface, she put on an even more earnest expression:

"Jiang Shi, could you... could you let me in? I want to personally place the apple next to Xiao Xiao and apologize to her, even if she can't hear me..."

When she spoke, she looked at Jiang Shi with pleading eyes, her expression humble and fervent.

Jiang Shi felt very uncomfortable and hesitated.

If someone is genuinely repentant, turning them away would seem like being petty.

After a moment's consideration, Jiang Shi stepped aside and said, "Okay."

Zhang Ruoyu's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile: "Really, thank you Jiang Shi. I was wrong to do those foolish things to you before, and I know I was wrong."

"You were right to slap me back then, I deserved it, can you forgive me?"

She began to confess incessantly, her tone urgent, her eyes red-rimmed.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Jiang Shi quickly interrupted.

"I've long since stopped caring about the past. If you really feel sorry, just don't do those things again."

"Come in, Xiaoxiao is sleeping soundly, don't disturb her. Leave after you've delivered the things."

"Thank you, thank you! Don't worry, I promise I won't do anything foolish again!"

Zhang Ruoyu nodded repeatedly and carefully stepped inside.

Jiang Shi leaned against the inner cabin door, looking at her not-too-tall figure, and picked up an apple.

He casually wiped it on his clothes and took a big bite without any hesitation.

Juice overflowed in my mouth.

Hmm, it tastes good.

There are exactly two; I'll give the other one to Wanxing later.

Zhang Ruoyu, who was walking in front, paused when she heard the chewing sound behind her, and the corners of her mouth turned up involuntarily.

It takes a little time for the medication to take effect, about ten minutes should be enough...

Upon entering the bedroom, Zhang Ruoyu saw Wang Xiaoxiao sleeping soundly on the bed and Jellyfish beside her, and her eyes flickered.

He walked to the bedside, bent down, and placed another apple next to Xiaoxiao.

Then he reached out and touched her forehead, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Xiaoxiao, it's Zhang-jie's fault, she scared you."

There was no deliberate attempt to lower the volume, just so Jiang Shi could hear it.

"Consider this apple my compensation. You can eat it when you wake up. And I'll make it up to you again when I find something even better, okay?"
