The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Someone’s Coming

In Fu Yunhe’s eyes, before Nian Shutong finished speaking, Ha Ha had turned around and was sprinting towards him.

It seemed to have become a reflex arc—call his name, and Ha Ha would appear.

“What to drink? What to drink?” Ha Ha circled around outside the kitchen, his neck constantly craning inside, his nose twitching.

“Drink this.” Nian Shutong placed a cup of malt sugar water in Ha Ha’s hands.

Ha Ha didn’t care what it was. In his view, since the Commander said to listen to Nian Shutong, then Nian Shutong must be a good person.

And whatever a good person gave must be good.

...

“Gulp gulp gulp…”

Ha Ha started with big gulps, then tilted his head back to pour it down.

Nian Shutong felt that the cup of water had been directly dumped into Ha Ha’s throat and quickly vanished without a trace.

After drinking, Ha Ha smacked his lips, laughed foolishly and heartily, even his back molars visible.

“Sweet!”

After he had drunk, Ha Ha didn’t linger. He put down the cup and went back to work.

He would surely be able to work all night!

Watching Ha Ha, Nian Shutong felt it was quite good. Ha Ha must be living happily.

Because he asked for so little, a bit was enough to satisfy him.

Nian Shutong was about to sit back down, but before her buttocks even touched the bench, she immediately stood up.

Her body tensed slightly, spiritual power surging within her, her presence formidable.

Fu Yunhe had just added a spoonful of malt syrup when he perceptively noticed Nian Shutong’s change. He set aside what he was doing to look at her.

“Someone’s coming.”

With that notice, Fu Yunhe followed Nian Shutong out of the kitchen and looked up at the sky.

At the same time, Rubble and Ha Ha also came over, but Rubble hid behind Nian Shutong because he felt she was the safest.

Ha Ha was different, though; he confidently stretched out his arms, standing in front of Nian Shutong to protect her.

The Commander had said to listen to Nian Shutong, so it was her they had to protect, otherwise who would Ha Ha listen to?

In the sky, a dot was getting closer and everyone could see a little more clearly now—it was an egg-shaped flying device.

The flying device landed somewhat shakily in front of the small wooden house, and the door swung open with a thud.

One. @@novelbin@@

Two.

Three?

Four? Five?

What was supposed to be a flying device for two, now had five people disembarking.

Two adults, three children.

A man and a woman for adults, two boys and one girl for children.

Their only commonality was their ragged clothes, unkempt hair and dirt-darkened fingernails. Their shoes were either cracked or showing toes.

Nian Shutong pushed Ha Ha aside slightly, but he wouldn’t budge. She patted Ha Ha on the shoulder, “It’s okay, they’re probably here for work.”

After scrutinizing them, Ha Ha stepped aside, judging they posed no threat to him.

Nian Shutong stepped forward, and the man approached as well, stopping two meters away and speaking.

“Hello, we saw the job advertisement that offered food and lodging, so we came.”

The man awkwardly curled his exposed toes and incessantly rubbed his garment’s edge with his cracked palms.

His family had previously lived on the trash star, a life too harsh to describe.

He had seen the job advertisement by chance, motivated solely because it had no restrictions on applicants—his heart stirred.

Because all other jobs explicitly stated they did not want people from the trash star.

As for Nian Shutong’s advertisement slogan, he’d overlooked it.

Or perhaps, he was determined to sink or swim; even in his destitution, could it be worse than the trash star?

With all the savings he’d accumulated over the years, he scraped together just enough for a one-way ticket and a single-use flying device, arriving at this planet, Blue Star.

Seeking a glimmer of hope.
