YM778.TV Chapter 32: 32
“Isn’t it all because of that irritating gay from the ninth squad—–” Li Chun reached this point and immediately slammed onto the brakes. He hurriedly explained, “Don’t get me wrong Advisor Ji, I didn’t mean it that way. I was only aiming the insult at ‘that person’ from the ninth squad.”
Ji Yush’s expression didn’t change. He only said, “Oh, it’s okay. I’ve heard worse before I transferred over.”
Things like homophobia, embroidered pillow, not accepting him as the new teammate, he had heard a lot of it.
Li Chun wanted to cry without tears, “I really didn’t mean it that way. Advisor Ji, don’t note my name down in your book.”
So why did he have to go and chat with Advisor Ji. He was done for now. Only God knew that he truly admired Advisor Ji very much.
“I know.” Ji Yushi said. Li Chun had said something similar back on the balcony in PU-31.
He repeated what Li Chun said last time, “Since Old Yu’s accident, Cap Song had always been blaming himself. He didn’t want me to come so he deliberately said those things. You are at most just a little straight but it’s not to the extent of being homophobic.”
Li Chun’s desire to live was very strong, “Yes, yes, yes.”
Advisor Ji remembered his words very clearly.
It was unknown if Ji Yushi really believed it. In any case, Ji Yushi reacted very calmly, as if ‘gay’ had nothing to do with him.
Ji Yushi flipped through Big Beard’s drawings and casually urged, “Go on.”
“Oh.” Li Chun nodded and spoke carefully, “That is, the person I was talking about is Lin Xinlan, the captain of Tianqiong ninth squad.”
Tianqiong ninth squad?
Ji Yushi remembered that when they first arrived at PU-31 and saw the mission details on the communicator for the first time, Duan Wen had also suspected that it was a prank by the ninth squad.
Li Chun, “I heard he and Cap Song joined Tianqiong around the same time. When the two were students, they were both often put together as promising students and were known as the Double Lan Duo. Later, Lin Xinlan publicly pursued Cap Song and when he was ruthlessly turned down, he swore that he would definitely make him his. Cap Song was straight and had kept a distance from him since then, but Lin Xinlan continued to persistently chase after him. Not to mention giving him breakfast, he even waited for him after work and all that. There was one time when Cap Song wasn’t around, someone saw Lin Xinlan come out of Cap Song’s office with his clothes dishevelled. That pervert, who knows what he was secretly doing in Cap Song’s office for so long…..”
Ji Yushi thought, no wonder it was said that Song Qinglan needed to disinfect rooms gays have been in.
It turned out to be because of this.
“What’s even more hateful,” Li Chun clenched his fists, “Someone on the Tianqiong internal network drew a gay fanart of Lin Xinlan and Cap Song, and Lin Xinlan openly praised it!”
Ji Yushi: “…….”
It turned out to be because of such a ridiculous reason. The other party’s behaviour was also very boring.
It was hard to imagine Song Qinglan being overwhelmed by a suitor. The Song Qinglan in his impression should have beaten him up directly.
Unexpectedly, Li Chun continued, “The two later had a fight and now their squad always goes against us and compete with us. They have all along been watching in anticipation after hearing about you joining our squad.”
The more Li Chun spoke, the angrier he became, “If we go back, these mission reports would be enough to slap them in the face. And if not for you Advisor Ji, we may still be in PU-31’s infinite loop….I dare say that if it was the ninth squad, they would be worse off than us. They not only don’t have you, but they are also weak chickens.”
“We can definitely go back.” There was no conceit in Ji Yushi’s calm expression. He just very naturally accepted the praise, “One person can make up for another person’s shortcomings. With you here, we now have three people. There will only be more and more clues.”
Li Chun nodded and said with some embarrassment, “Actually, I don’t think I can be of much help. I’m just a salted fish who doesn’t know anything.”
Ji Yushi, “How so? At least you and Big Beard get along well. He has already put his guard down around you.”
Li Chun hehe’d.
Innocent children are always good at making people lower their guards.
Li Chun had been doing logistic work in the team for nearly a year and had always wanted to contribute to the team somehow. Ji Yushi’s words just now gave him a lot of encouragement.
After a while, Li Chun whispered, “If we go back, Advisor Ji, you’re really not going to consider joining us?”
At the transfer station, everyone could see that Song Qinglan wanted to keep Ji Yushi on the team, but Ji Yushi’s attitude on the other hand wasn’t clear.
Everyone thought it was because their captain had offended the other person too much, and that Advisor Ji still held grudges for it.
Ji Yushi hadn’t thought about the answer to this question.
The most likely answer however was no.
Li Chun, “Think about it a little. You see, we are now people who have gone through life-or-death situations together, and Cap Song and you can also be somewhat considered as people from the same town.”
Ji Yushi, “Same town?”
“Cap Song’s mother is from Ning City.” Li Chun said, “Cap Song went to kindergarten in Ning City when he was young.”
Ji Yushi: “……..”
Amid Big Beard’s snoring, Ji Yushi and Li Chun had almost gone through everything they had talked about during those six days. Even after reading all that, Ji Yushi still didn’t have a clue about the other party’s strange language system but after he looked repeatedly at the ‘18’ symbol on the uniform drawn by Big Beard, he had a vague guess in mind.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside.
The violent shaking of the space capsule woke Big Beard up.
Li Chun who had never heard of this sound before asked in shock what it was.
Ji Yushi told him, “Something foreign must have been sucked in again.”
Whenever something was sucked in by the magnetic field here, it would land on that mountain of garbage.
Sure enough, Big Beard who had woken up glanced groggily at them and then raised his burly body up. As he grunted a few times, he searched for his cart —— He was going to pick up trash again.
This time, Ji Yushi decided to go with him.
Li Chun also followed.
Following Big Beard’s actions, they also pulled out warm cotton clothes from within the room and wrapped themselves up before walking out the door.
It was dark outside the space capsule. One could only vaguely see the frozen soil under their feet.
The sky was still very low, and the aurora flashed slowly one after another. It was beautiful and quiet.
Li Chun walked carefully, “Advisor Ji, could it be that Brother Wen, Tang Le and them were also sucked in?! Just like how we came here! With this, we can slowly gather everyone up!”
“It is possible.” Ji Yushi said, “Cap Song is nearby. If it was Duan Wen and the others, Cap Song would find them more quickly.”
If it was like this, they would also be able to avoid the fate of being dragged away by Big Beard’s chain.
Big Beard who was pushing the cart suddenly squatted down and picked up a few glowing flowers from the vines on the side of the road to light up his way. He first placed one on the handlebar and then gave another to Li Chun and finally Ji Yushi.
He was still very drunk. He was like a giant homeless man and his entire body stunk so that action of his gave him some sort of a reverse charm. Ji Yushi felt that he probably wasn’t a bad person. At least, he wasn’t one when he first came here.
Big Beard led the way for them and the three quickly reached the mountain.
From the distance, they saw a tall figure rummaging in the pile of fresh garbage.
Unfortunately, there was no capsule sucked in this time.
Therefore, they didn’t find their other teammates.
Song Qinglan saw that they had come and threw a can over at Ji Yushi, “Advisor Ji, look at this.”
Ji Yushi caught the can and looked at it. On the can were the words: Kemeng Beans.
He then turned the can over and, sure enough, he saw the lines: PU-31 Golden Crow No. 2’s first batch of organic vegetables since establishment.
So that’s it.
