Chapter 233: Chapter 232: Chatting

"Let me do it, you can take the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes out." Professor Yuan said, taking the knife from her and nudging her aside.

"I think I should do it." Xia Yue felt uncomfortable and wanted to take back the knife.

"Child, no need to be polite, take these two things out. I’ll be done here shortly." Professor Yuan dodged her hand with a smile.

Worried that they might hurt themselves fighting over the knife, Xia Yue limited her movements. Seeing such persistence, she could only nod, bringing the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes outside.

She set them on the table at the pavilion, greeted Professors Chen and Luo, and began eating at the invitation of Professor Hao.

In a short while, Professor Yuan came out with a watermelon.

She had five bowls filled with cut watermelon pieces.

"One bowl per person, if you want more, there’s plenty in the kitchen," said Professor Yuan as she set the bowls down in front of them and sat down.

"This fruit is good, even better if it was chilled," Professor Chen commented with a laugh.

"Old man, you’re not getting younger, be careful with chilled food, your stomach might not handle it well," Professor Hao replied dryly.

"I was just saying, I didn’t actually eat any," Professor Chen immediately retorted.

"Enough, you two, there’s a young person here. You’re embarrassing yourself, bickering at this age," Professor Luo intervened, seeing them start a quarrel.

Xia Yue laughed at their bickering while enjoying her cucumber, cherry tomato and watermelon. She found great satisfaction in this.

After a while, Professor Yuan and the others then brought their attention back to her.

"Xiaoyue, have you been alright these past few months over there? Any injuries or something?" Professor Yuan asked.

"No worries, Mo Ge and the others took care of me. I wasn’t hurt," Xia Yue shook her head.

"Are there lots of unusual plants over there?" Professor Yuan asked, her bright eyes full of curiosity.

"Yes, some of the plants there can even move and attack people," Xia Yue nodded.

"Did you bring back any plants?" Professor Yuan asked.

"Yes, but not many. I’ll sort them out later and bring them over to you." She knew she would ask, so she collected quite a few in her system’s backpack. She forgot about them until she asked.

"Good, good. I’ll be waiting," Professor Yuan said, nodding happily.

"Are the marine life over there also special? Did you bring any back?" Professor Chen looked at Xia Yue curiously.

"We didn’t see the ocean and haven’t had much contact with marine life, so I’m not sure," Xia Yue shook her head, answering honestly.

Professor Chen looked at her with a hint of disappointment.

"Professor Chen, even the rabbits in that world are stronger than tigers here. I’m afraid your research there might not be viable," Xia Yue worried that once they knew about the Space-Time Gate, they might dash over there just for research.

Just thinking about their combat power, she figured she should warn them first.

"Ah! Is it really that powerful?" The four professors all exclaimed in surprise.

"Indeed, so if you want to do research, it’s safer to wait until people from there come over. Once we establish a connection, we can buy some materials from them for research. It’s best if you don’t go there yourself, things could happen easily," Xia Yue nodded vigorously, persuading them.

"Having some materials will do, after all, we’re just curious," said the professors, who are not children anymore and knew that Xia Yue cared about their well-being. They wouldn’t risk their lives just to satisfy curiosity.
