The two of them had just walked down the stairs when they saw He Xing waiting at the door. Du Yue quickly walked over and took out the key to open the door. “Have you been waiting for a long time?”

The hall was bustling with people. Du Yue and Xia Ju were wandering among the stalls looking for things, so they did not notice that He Xing had returned. He Xing smiled. “No, 1 just came back not long ago. 1 saw you two in the hall, but I didn’t want to disturb you when 1 saw you two shopping, so 1 came down to wait.”

Hearing He Xing’s words, Du Yue and Xia Ju looked at each other and said in unison, “Shopping?”

The stalls in the hall were all selling used things. It really could not be called shopping.

He Xing was a little puzzled. “Weren’t you guys shopping? Then what were you doing?”

“Of course not.” Du Yue shook her head. “We wanted to see if we could buy materials for the nutrient solution, but we couldn’t find any.”

He Xing nodded thoughtfully. “If you can’t find any materials in the hall, 1 can talk to the people in the base and find a way to get some.”

Du Yue could not help but exclaim, “It’s good to have a social butterfly at home. It’s good to be able to get in through the back door.”

In just a few days, He Xing had become very familiar with the higher-ups. However, Du Yue was not too surprised by He Xing’s identity as a hidden socialite. After all, he was also on good terms with Zuo Mingdong in the first base.

He Xing was very fast. Xia Ju wrote the materials on a piece of paper and handed it to him. When he came back the next night, he brought back everything on it. Du Yue was not surprised that He Xing could get these things. However, she was a little puzzled. “With so many raw materials, it should be quite expensive, right? What did you use to pay?”

He Xing curled his lips. “1’11 pay on credit.”

“On credit?”

He Xing sat down beside Du Yue. “I’m helping the base develop robots now. It can be considered as solving the urgent needs of the base. The base wishes to pay me as well, but they haven’t set it up yet. I don’t have food to pay, so I’ll owe them for now. I’ll pay when the base gives me food.”

After listening to He Xing’s explanation, Du Yue could not help but give He Xing a thumbs up. He Xing’s brain was really good! No matter how one looked at it, they had profited this time!

Before Du Yue could say anything, Xia Ju had already walked over and hugged everything on the table. “1 can’t make nutrient solutions with just these materials. 1 want these things so that I can justifiably give the nutrient solution to the base in the future. The core ingredient of the nutrient solution can’t be found on the blue planet. It doesn’t matter if I owe you a debt for the time being. Give me a few more days. When 1 make a large batch, I can take it to the base. The two of you can cling to me after that! I’ll let you guys live a good life!”

After saying this with a serious expression, Xia Ju did not care about Du Yue and He Xing’s reaction. She directly carried the things back to her room.

Looking at Xia Ju’s determined back, Du Yue could not help but shake her head. “When did we have a strong woman in our house?”

He Xing smiled. “I just found out too.”

Du Yue tilted her head and looked at He Xing. “Now, not only is Xia Ju a strong woman, but you’re also a workaholic. I’m the only couch potato with nothing to do.”

As soon as Du Yue finished speaking, He Xing cupped her face with a serious expression. “Do you know why I’m working so hard?”

Perhaps He Xing’s expression was too serious, but Du Yue did not have time to think. She subconsciously asked, “Why?”

“The reason why I’m working so hard is so that you can be a couch potato with a clear conscience. It’s okay, don’t belittle yourself. Even if my girlfriend is a couch potato, she’s still the cutest one!”

Du Yue was speechless. Those who did not know better would think that being a couch potato was a compliment. However, even though he said that, Du Yue’s heartbeat still sped up uncontrollably. Even though the two of them had been together for a few years, they still maintained their initial simple and sincere feelings. Even now, every time Du Yue saw He Xing’s smile, she would still feel moved.

After looking at He Xing for a while, Du Yue smiled sweetly. “Tell me honestly, did you and Xia Ju watch some melodramas behind my back?”

Otherwise, where did he learn these old-fashioned and heart-stirring words of love?
