Before leaving, Su Bai reminded Ruan Li, "No matter who comes, don’t open the door, just pretend no one is home." After they left, the room instantly fell into silence. No, it should be said that after Su Bai left, the room became much quieter. Su Bai’s beast form is a dune cat, looking cute but quite talkative, and very temperamental. Ruan Li sat by the bed and opened the Smart Brain, originally not holding out much hope, as the signal on Deserted Star was weak. However, she looked at the message the Smart Brain received three hours ago. [Bai He: Ruannuan, where are you? The Smart Brain doesn’t have your location. When you see the message, call us. If calling isn’t convenient, you can send your location directly. We are on X Star now, our spacecraft was attacked during a space jump. Are you safe? Zhe Ye: Shi Jue and I retreated with the troops to S Star, remember to reply when you see this, let us know you’re safe. Shi Jue: Ruannuan! Previously, the entire Star A was blocked and we didn’t receive your messages. Shi Jue: Why aren’t you responding to me? Shi Jue: Ruannuan, are Bai He and the others preventing you from seeing the Smart Brain? Shi Jue: Where are you now? Bai He said they lost you, Ruannuan, you must reply when you see the message!] There were countless missed calls accompanying these messages. Ruan Li tried to send a message, but got a prompt saying there was no signal. Then how did she have a signal three hours ago? Ruan Li was puzzled, but even after several attempts, and running all over the house, she still couldn’t find a signal. What was she doing three hours ago? It’s eleven now, three hours ago was eight, but at eight she was still sleeping... Suddenly, there was a loud banging on the door, startling Ruan Li. She didn’t dare to make a sound, the massive pounding almost smashed the black small door of "Su Bai’s Clinic", the banging persisted for a long time, until the noise outside paused a bit, did Ruan Li dare to run to the door, but she didn’t dare open it, only looked out through the crack. The person outside seemed to be cursing, already walking away. It wasn’t long before Su Bai returned from outside. "Little missy, you didn’t encounter any danger while staying home just now, did you?" Su Bai asked after closing the door, in less than an hour. Ruan Li shook her head, "Not long after you left, someone came and knocked on the door quite loudly, I wasn’t sure what they wanted, so I didn’t go over." Su Bai nonchalantly said, "It’s fine, in the future, just hide when I’m not home." Ruan Li seriously suspected he had caused some trouble. Su Bai yawned, "I’m going to my room to sleep, don’t call me if anything happens." At night, a crescent moon hung high, Wen Li stepped in the moonlight and knocked on the door. Ruan Li heard the noise at the door, feeling the person outside shouldn’t be bad. But Su Bai was still in his room, so after hesitating, she decided to disturb him. "What’s up?" A lazy voice came from inside. "Someone is knocking on the door, could it be Wen–Wen Li is back?" Su Bai stretched lazily, opened the door and came out, "At this time, it’s about right for him to be back." Ruan Li followed behind him. The front hall didn’t even have the light on, Ruan Li nearly tripped. The dark door opened, moonlight spilled on Wen Li. He carried a shabby snakeskin bag behind him, which didn’t match his calm and ethereal demeanor. With a dull thud, the snakeskin bag was thrown on the ground, kicking up dust, Wen Li’s expression remained unchanging: "The herbs you wanted." After the door closed, Su Bai opened the snakeskin bag and rummaged through it, "Not bad, you actually found so many. Keep up the good work tomorrow, seeing you found so much, we’ll waive the Crystal Core for today." Wen Li nodded slightly, his gaze fell on Ruan Li behind. Ruan Li nodded, "I ate, I heated up what was left from noon." Su Bai interjected, "I wouldn’t treat her poorly, helped you take good care of her." Wen Li said no more, a subtle crease appeared between his brows. Su Bai muttered a couple of words, realizing that neither paid him any mind, he waved his hand, "You sour little couple, don’t disturb me brewing medicine, hurry back." Ruan Li opened her mouth to explain something, but Wen Li grasped her hand and shook his head. Alright... she was now isolated and defenseless, having to bow her head under others. Ruan Li complained silently, led by Wen Li, went toward the courtyard. However, the front hall was filled with Su Bai’s scattered mess, Ruan Li had only taken a few steps before tripping, luckily Wen Li caught her in time, or else who knows how bruised and battered she’d be. When will that pesky cat turn on a light! Ruan Li dared not speak up, half embraced by Wen Li, staggered outside. Once the door closed, Ruan Li muttered softly, "Su Bai is stingy about turning on a light all day long." Wen Li: "Felines can see in the dark." So she was the only one here who couldn’t. Under the dim light, Ruan Li finally noticed Wen Li’s clothes were patched black and gray, even the fabric over his chest had a tear. Why does he look so ragged, isn’t he a robot? "Were you injured today?" Ruan Li felt awkward asking. "No." Just that the afternoon sun was too hot, his temperature system went haywire, he nearly got attacked by a fierce beast. But fortunately, all superpowers are ineffective against him, physical attacks may damage his bio-skin, just looking unattractive. "This, you might like." He opened his palm, revealing three candies lying inside. "Thank you." Ruan Li thanked him, took the candies, unwrapped one and popped it into her mouth. She almost cried from the sourness, her cheeks were tingling with sour water. Wen Li looked at her somewhat awkwardly, "What’s wrong? Is the candy expired?" Until she finished the outer sour coating, the inner candy sphere barely soothed her bruised taste buds. "Not expired, just—this candy is coated with a sour powder outside, too sour." Wen Li contemplated, then got up and left. When he returned, he carried a bowl of hot water, "Soak the candy in water for a while, the sour powder will dissolve." The other two golden candies were placed into the water bowl, sinking immediately to the bottom, tiny bubbles rising bit by bit. When he saw the sour powder was nearly dissolved, he handed her the bowl, "Eating it this way, shouldn’t be sour anymore." Ruan Li pinched one and put it in her mouth. Perhaps because she had just tasted the sourness, eating something sweet now felt like sweetness overflowed her heart. After she lowered her head, Wen Li went out again. What is this robot up to? Ruan Li curiously stood and looked outside. She saw his tall figure squatting in the kitchen adding firewood. Ruan Li saw him bring out a lot of hot water, "Ruan Li, I heated up water for you to take a bath."

Ruan Li hesitated for a moment, then shifted aside to let Wen Li bring the hot water indoors.
