Luo Xingyu was spacing out in her room when she saw Gao Yuan. She stood up and didn't hide her joy as she exclaimed loudly, "You're finally here. Why are you so late? Hurry to the canteen, or else it'll be… What's wrong?"
Noticing the unusual expression on Gao Yuan's face, Luo Xingyu's excitement turned into worry. She lowered her voice and asked, "What happened?"
Gao Yuan wondered if he was really that bad at hiding things.
"I went to look for Uncle Xiang, but he wasn't in his room. Do you know where he went?"
"Commander Wang just called for him. I heard some noise. Is something wrong?"
Gao Yuan took Luo Xingyu's hand, hugged her, and then whispered, "We just saw many small spacecraft emerging from the alien ship."
"Ah!"
Seeing Luo Xingyu's face change instantaneously, Gao Yuan felt a pang of heartache. He kissed her forehead and continued in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. It's not certain what's happening yet, don't be afraid."
