n“Who is it?” Louis didn’t lift his head. No one would disturb him at this time. He didn’t plan to open the door.

n“It’s me.” It was Vera’s voice. “I have something to tell you.”

nXi Ning immediately became alert. Hearing that, Louis wanted to put him back in the aquarium, he wrapped his arms around Louis’ neck and didn’t let go. “Why is she looking for you? You can’t go to see her alone.”

n“I am not sure what she wants,” Louis said hesitantly, “I’ll be right at the door, I’ll come back after hearing what she wants to say.”

nXi Ning can’t walk now, so of course he disagreed. He pulled Louis’s hand and put it on his stomach. “Can’t I listen to what she said? I just ate too much and my stomach feels uncomfortable.”

nLouis stared at him for a while, then smiled and said, “Is it really uncomfortable?”

nHe obediently rubbed Xi Ning’s stomach lightly, and was about to continue speaking when Vera knocked a few more times outside the door. “Are you busy?”

nLouis stopped for a while, and Xi Ning hugged him tightly again and didn’t let go. Louis simply raised his voice and shouted, “Come in directly.”

nVera only heard a faint sound inside just now. She didn’t know what Louis was doing inside. Hearing him allow her to go in directly, she thought he was the only one in the room, but when she opened the door, she saw that Louis was still holding Xi Ning in his arms.

nThe corner of her mouth that had been raised slowly lowered, and she stood at the door and did not come in. “I need to find you alone for something, it won’t take too long.”

nXi Ning suddenly discovered that Vera never seemed to be called Louis “Boss” like everyone else, but always called him casually. He ignored Vera’s gaze and hugged Louis’ neck. “Lulu……”

n“What’s the matter, babe?” Louie’s hand was still on his stomach. He turned sideways to block Vera’s sight so that she couldn’t see Xi Ning’s stomach, and took time to reply to her, “Just say it here. I can’t leave now.”

nVera took a few deep breaths, then walked in and closed the door.

nIt’s not that she hasn’t been to Louis’s room before. But when she came in this time, there were obviously traces of two people’s lives everywhere in the room. The pillows, cups and shoes on the ground were all in pairs. That mermaid was hugged affectionately by Louis, and his innocent expression was full of provocation in her eyes.

nLouis urged, “If you have something to say, just spill it, it’s almost time for an afternoon nap.”

nLouis never took an afternoon nap before, and Vera understood who he was talking about. Since Louis asked her to speak in front of Xi Ning, she no longer cared about it. “I hope you can think about it and send…… His Royal Highness Cyril back to the Federation.”

nAs soon as these words were said, both Louis and Xi Ning were stunned. She dared to be so direct when Xi Ning was still here. But it was Louis who asked her to do so.

nLouis’ expression became gloomy, and he straightened Xi Ning’s clothes. “Impossible.”

nVera turned a deaf ear, and continued, “If His Royal Highness Cyril is still missing, the Federation will never give up the search. Sooner or later, they will find us. You can’t make light of the lives of everyone on this spaceship.”

nThe objects and amounts of robbery they robbed in the past were not fixed. In fact, they rarely touched the things of the Federation. There are various factors that allowed them to survive stably until now. Xi Ning was like a time bomb, and there was no telling when it would cause trouble for them. Vera admitted that she was selfish, but for the sake of other people on the spaceship, Xi Ning could not be kept.

nIf they follow the previous plan, and exchange Xi Ning for the ransom, there still might be a chance.

nXi Ning was silent. What Vera said was not unreasonable, but Louis…… Louis only replied, “Get out.”

nVera stubbornly stood where she was and refused to leave. At this moment, Xi Ning felt a strange feeling from his fish tail.

nHe struggled for a while, and the fish tail was thrown out of the aquarium, changing back to his legs. Louis reacted very quickly, pulling the coat on the back of the chair to cover it.

nAfter regaining his human form, Xi Ning was shivering in the cold. Louis no longer cared about Vera. He went to bed with Xi Ning in his arms, put his legs in his arms, and covered the quilt while looking at him complicatedly. “Why did you suddenly change back?”

n“I……I don’t know……” Xi Ning turned to look, but Vera was gone.

nLouis lowered his head and kissed his forehead, while comforting him. “Don’t listen to her nonsense, it’ll be alright, and I won’t let you leave my side.”

nAfter Vera returned to the room, she opened the drawer and took out the old communicator.

nThere was a reply from the message she sent last time. She never opened it, thinking about going to Louis to persuade him again. But after what happened today, she has completely lost hope.

nVera opened the message and glanced at it, typed a few lines in the reply, and sent the coordinates.
