After recharging his energy, Levy didn't answer their questions, but simply turned and said, "Let's go."
"Are we leaving already?" The group was a little reluctant. "Aren't we going to eat something? We're starving."
"Then you can eat by yourselves." With that, Levy bowed and was about to step into the aircraft.
At that moment, the port roared again as a long-haul starship came to a stop.
This port is not an officially managed, regular anchorage, so it's somewhat chaotic. When this starship stopped there, it directly blocked the Levy spacecraft's path.
Levi clicked his tongue and frowned as he glanced at the time.
The starship was clearly used on the black market for interplanetary smuggling, so a large group of people poured out as soon as the hatch opened.
Levy was preoccupied with the journey ahead and was somewhat agitated.
He bought a glass of water nearby, and after thinking for a moment, he went to the pharmacy and bought some medicine and treatment equipment for treating external injuries.
Fortunately, by the time he returned, the starship had already set sail, which suppressed Levy's urge to ram it head-on.
He walked towards the aircraft, initially not wanting to deal with the few running around kids, but worried that it might cause time to stop, so he simply walked over and took them away.
Just as he was leading these people toward the simple flying vehicle, a person wearing a gray hoodie passed by him.
Levy paused, and the two stopped at the same time.
"What's wrong, Qin Chu? Have you decided to eat before you leave too?"
Upon hearing the name "Qin Chu," the person in the gray hoodie turned around and looked over.
Levi released his grip and walked towards him.
Are you alright?
What are you doing here?
The two spoke at the same time.
Levi finally smiled in relief: "And you, why are you here?"
"I want to go to the garbage planet." Qin Chu sighed. He reached out to take off his hat, but put his hand on the hood and then put it down.
Levi glanced at his finger: "Let me correct you, you don't want to go to the garbage planet, you want to come find me."
"...Think what you want." Qin Chu didn't refute him.
Levy didn't elaborate on Qin Chu's identity, only saying that he was his friend, and then took Qin Chu onto the aircraft.
After finding Qin Chu, he was no longer in a hurry. He slowed down the journey, sent everyone else to the cockpit, and stayed in the back with Qin Chu.
Although the aircraft was rudimentary, it was still a long-haul aircraft, with a small compartment at the back for resting, and a dusty bed inside.
Levi put the medicine he was carrying aside, and seeing Qin Chu about to sit on the bed, he immediately went over and picked up the sheets and blankets and shook them.
He himself doesn't care about these things, but when he saw Qin Chu about to sit down, he subconsciously started to care.
Qin Chu watched him shake for a while and couldn't help but remind him, "Stop shaking it, it's either dusty or too old."
“It’s not that I’m afraid of getting it on you,” Levy said.
"I'm used to it, I don't care about these things." Qin Chu said, pulling the sheet from his hand and spreading it on, then half-lying down on the bed.
Levi instinctively reached out and patted the back of his head, saying, "It's best not to lean your head against it, in case of infection..."
Qin Chu looked up at him, but neither of them spoke.
After a moment of silence, Levi reached up to lift his hood: "Let me see."
"...Shouldn't it be ready by now?" Qin Chu hesitated for a moment, then took off his hat.
Levi remained silent, leaning forward and gently brushing aside Qin Chu's blood-stained hair to examine the wound on the back of his head. The wound had closed, but it hadn't been properly treated; the terrible state of the surroundings still hinted at the perilous situation.
Levi pursed his lips, his expression not very pleasant.
Qin Chu glanced at him and couldn't help but say, "What's with that expression? Are you disgusted by my brain surgery skills?"
Levi chuckled at his words and unscrewed the disinfectant bottle beside him: "Your skills are indeed lacking; look how big this cut is."
The area around the wound was truly a gruesome sight. Although he knew the wound had closed and Qin Chu had survived the most dangerous period, Levi still cleaned it with disinfectant and wound medicine.
It's as if this action is an attempt to alleviate one's worries and vague guilt.
His cautious attitude made Qin Chu quite uncomfortable.
"What are you doing? It's all healed. Besides, if you can get through this, so can I." Qin Chu turned her head away to avoid his hand.
Levi quickly pressed down on his head: "Hey, what are you shaking for? The outside is healed, but the inside is still uncertain. If you shake it, you might shake your brains out and spill them all over me."
"..." Qin Chu felt a vague unease at the scene he described.
Levi pressed him down to continue cleaning, rinsing away the blood-stuck hair: "If I can get through this, so can you. What's the point of comparing these things? I didn't realize, Qin Chu, how could you be so naive?"
“Same to you,” Qin Chu said.
He leaned against the bed and soon became drowsy.
Levi was right; the wound had healed on the outside, but not completely inside. After leaving the lab, he boarded a spaceship, making two stops before heading to the junk planet where Levi was.
I didn't dare to relax during the journey, and I was always on guard against the possibility of other options. It wasn't until I met Levi that my tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Is this going to another planet to pick up cargo?" Qin Chu squinted at the spacecraft.
"You found out?" Levi sat on the edge of the bed, stroking Qin Chu's hair gently.
“Yes, I used to do that all the time,” Qin Chu said.
“It’s okay, you can get some sleep,” Levy said.
Qin Chu closed his eyes again, but then he suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes and asked, "Haven't you gone through the selection process yet? You're just flying your aircraft straight towards me, aren't you afraid of automatically failing the selection?"
Levi laughed: "If we fail, we'll go back. We have to try. We can't just leave you there alone."
Qin Chu didn't say anything, just squeezed his hand and closed her eyes again.
Levy looked down at him.
He knew that Qin Chu was not actually asleep; his nerves were constantly on edge, and even if he suddenly relaxed, there would be a period when he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
After watching for a while, he couldn't help but slowly speak: "Your choice..."
Qin Chu replied almost immediately: "It's blown up."
Levy paused for a moment.
He didn't know what Qin Chu's thoughts were about blowing up the lab, or if he felt uncomfortable about it. He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare.
Qin Chu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him: "You enjoyed frying them."
Levi paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "It's good that you're not upset."
Qin Chu looked up at him: "Why didn't you act like this before? Don't you always like to make me angry?"
“How can these be the same?” Levy smiled somewhat helplessly.
"What's different?" Qin Chu asked.
Levy couldn't answer immediately.
That's true. In the previous world, he liked to tease Qin Chu and make her angry. Although he was afraid that if he teased her too much, he would drive her away, but seeing Qin Chu get angry made him feel very comfortable.
But now that they are together and have come to this world, he can't help but worry that Qin Chu might be unhappy because of him.
"Don't always worry about whether I'm happy or not," Qin Chu said in a muffled voice, then turned over.
He spoke very softly, but Levy still heard him.
But how could that be?
He likes Qin Chu so much, of course he cares about his feelings.
Qin Chu took a nap and didn't wake up until the aircraft came to a stop again.
When I opened my eyes, Levy was no longer in the compartment; he must have been arranging the berthing at the front.
He got out of bed and went straight to the cockpit.
"Awake?" Levi turned to look at him.
"Hmm." Qin Chu yawned and rubbed his eyes.
Levy stared at him.
Qin Chu rarely slept in. Even if they had a passionate night together, Qin Chu would still wake up earlier than him the next day. Therefore, his sleepy look now was exceptionally adorable.
Levi was itching to kiss him and leaned in.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chu reached out and covered his face.
"Not even a kiss?" Levi raised an eyebrow, asking with his eyes.
Qin Chu didn't speak, but looked up at the other young men in the cockpit.
These people are now staring at them with wide, round eyes, full of curiosity and excitement.
Levi glanced at it too, still puzzled: "You've regressed, so you won't dare to do it if someone's watching?"
Qin Chu sighed helplessly, "...Do you even remember how old you are now?"
Levy understood.
Although in his and Qin Chu's eyes, they are still the same as when they first came into this world.
But at this point in time, they were just like the teenagers around them, around fifteen or sixteen years old.
With a sigh, Levy straightened up and carefully maneuvered the aircraft to a stop.
After the aircraft came to a stop, he turned to look at Qin Chu.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Chu was puzzled by the stares.
"I'm such a pervert," Levy exclaimed sincerely.
"Hmm?" Qin Chu raised an eyebrow.
“I still want to kiss him,” Levy said.
Qin Chu: "..."
After getting off the aircraft, Levi still came over and gave him a kiss.
