Chapter 432: Chapter 431: Washing Together

Qu Tong hadn’t said anything, but they had already decided on their own to keep the secret for her.

She curled the corners of her mouth into a smile, it seemed she hadn’t given the Elixir to the wrong person.

Actually, even if they didn’t tell, it wouldn’t be a secret for long.

The people whose Physique Levels had improved were all close to her, those with intentions would figure it out.

However, there was still Old Man Yuan standing in front.

Fei Wenxing and the others probably just thought she had gotten the Elixir from Elder Yuan for them.

Apart from Xu An, everyone was thrilled, as if they had found a treasure.

Then the entire dinner changed, the five of them were busy and energetic, while Qu Tong had nothing to do.

"Sister Tong, let us do it, you just give the orders," they said.

"Sister Tong, your hands are so beautiful and white, don’t get them dirty. Let me do it," another offered.

"Qu Tong, do you want an apple? Do you need it peeled? Or should I cut it into pieces for you?"

...

Once the hotpot was ready, Qu Tong mixed a relatively non-spicy sauce and sat by the clear broth side.

Fei Wenxing was the first to notice and clamored, "Sister Tong, why are you sitting over there? Didn’t you always eat spicy hotpot with us before?"

In the past, it was Song Ke and Xu An who preferred lighter tastes; Cheng Yao, Fei Wenxing, and she liked it spicy.

"No, start from now on, I am going to focus on my health," Qu Tong declared with conviction.

Fei Wenxing was puzzled, "Sister Tong, you’re only 20, what health do you need to maintain?"

"Oh, let Qu Tong eat whatever she wants, why are you concerned?" Song Ke made a dish for Qu Tong. "Here, try this different clear broth tripe."

Fei Wenxing suddenly remembered a post he had seen online, which seemed to say that maintaining health was another way of saying losing weight.

After looking her up and down, the hand that Qu Tong subconsciously placed on her stomach just accentuated a slight bulge beneath her skirt.

Sister Tong did seem to have gained a little weight; Fei Wenxing stopped fussing and went back to his seat.

Having eaten their fill, Fei Wenxing and the others wanted to go to the training room to digest.

This time Qu Tong declined to accompany them in practice and sat outside. After sitting for a while, she began to feel sleepy.

Noticing Song Ke, who was a bit distracted, she approached her for a chat, "Is something on your mind?"

Song Ke turned her head to glance at Qu Tong and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, "Song Nuan hasn’t come back for a long time."

"Aren’t you and your sister not on good terms?"

But it didn’t quite seem that way.

Song Ke shook her head with a bitter smile, "It wasn’t always like this. Our father and mother were too busy and didn’t have much time for us. My sister and I were the closest people to each other..."

Qu Tong listened intently.

Song Nuan had gotten lost before. It happened to be Song Ke’s birthday, and everyone was busy celebrating for Song Ke, so no one noticed Song Nuan had gone missing immediately, and in the end, it was Lan Weiying who brought her back.

Moreover, as they grew older, they could feel their parents’ bias more and more, and the two gradually grew apart, even falling out over some issues.

"Actually, what mattered that day was not my birthday, but the project my father was about to invest in."

"She was jealous of the attention I got from our parents, but in fact, every bit of effort they put into me needed to be repaid with equal value," Song Ke said in a tone neither salty nor bland, lifting her head so that her gaze just happened to fall on Xu An, who was fighting one-on-two in the arena.

Following her gaze, Qu Tong looked over, and the always lucid Miss Song seemed not to need any comforting from her.

When they were tired, they sat on the rooftop, overlooking the grand scenery for miles around, sharing thoughts about their future and dreams.

Fei Wenxing wanted to go to the First Legion, for a simple reason: everyone was so strong, he couldn’t afford to fall behind.

Cheng Yao also wanted to go, but the family’s Elixir factory needed him to take over, and he was very conflicted.

Xu An was doing well in the Fourth Legion, and he hoped to be promoted to a regular sub-lieutenant next year.

He Zhou wanted to follow Xu An, be his deputy, and looked forward to the opportunity to learn how to pilot fighters and warships.

Only Song Ke laughed and said she wasn’t sure yet and had to listen to her family’s arrangements.

...

Gradually, everyone returned to their own homes, leaving Qu Tong alone on the rooftop.

Gazing at the slanting sun in the sky, she recalled Song Ke’s words before he left and her beautiful brows slightly furrowed, adding a touch of melancholy.

Footsteps sounded behind her, but Qu Tong did not turn around.

"It’s chilly out, don’t catch a cold," Si Yuting lifted her from the railing, helplessly yet affectionately helping her put on her shoes.

Qu Tong looked down at Si Yuting’s broad palms holding her slender ankles and cooperatively pressed down her toes, "It’s not too cold yet. Have you settled your affairs, Your Highness?"

"Mmm, almost."

Si Yuting finished helping Qu Tong with her shoes and picked her up with one arm.

Qu Tong wrapped her arms around Si Yuting’s neck, suddenly remembering the gift the Empress had given her. Now that she thought about it, it didn’t seem so embarrassing anymore.

As a result, after returning to the room, Qu Tong rummaged through the neglected corner of the Space Button and found the diamond-studded photo frame.

Si Yuting was surprised when he saw it, "You still have this?"

"Mother gave it to me, said to hang it in the room," Qu Tong clarified.

It wasn’t something she had printed on her own initiative.

Si Yuting’s eyes shifted slightly, "Okay."

"No way!" Qu Tong protested.

Looking at the photo where she was only slightly taller than Si Yuting’s head while being held in his one arm, she sighed again, "I’m so tiny."

"Mmm, very cute," Si Yuting evaluated.

"No, I prefer to be a bit taller."

"As long as it’s you, I like it."

Qu Tong had gradually grown accustomed to Si Yuting occasionally flirting with her, "You like it, so you can have it."

Si Yuting actually carefully put the photo frame away and then started talking business.

"The results from Jiang Zhou’s end are out, and they match the statistics from the Genetic Bank."

"Additionally, only a few of those who have only taken your Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion have seen an increase in their Fertility Value, probably due to a lower dosage."

Energy Fruit can be eaten daily, but the most a person had taken of the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion was one or two doses.

"Then it must be my Special Ability," She was the cause.

These past few days, the fruits and vegetables in her shop were selling out in seconds, and Xiang Bin and Ke Jun also told her that many people were seeking partnerships with her through various channels.

However, Qu Tong still chose a conservative path for growth. With the threat hanging over her head not knowing when it would fall, she wasn’t in the mood for other endeavors.

Si Yuting, when discussing matters, liked to hold Qu Tong on his lap, running his fingers through her soft hair from her head down to her waist.

"Do you have things to take care of here? I plan to take you back to Abel Star in a couple of days."

Suddenly shifting the conversation, Qu Tong was a bit slow to respond, turning her head to look at him, why go back?

Si Yuting gently tapped her belly, "It’s time for a checkup."

Oh!

She had almost forgotten.

But Qu Tong was still puzzled, Abel Star was a military base, could they do pregnancy check-ups there?

Gazing into Si Yuting’s reassuring eyes, Qu Tong swallowed her doubts.

What could she do if she was not reassured? She didn’t have a better solution.

Qu Tong yawned, and Si Yuting wiped the tears that had welled up from her eyes. His magnetic voice was especially gentle, "If you’re tired, go to sleep. I’ll join you after a shower."

"Let’s go together," Qu Tong casually replied.

Si Yuting’s eyes darkened, "Are you sure?"

"I had hotpot today and got the smell all over me." Qu Tong lifted her arm to sniff and walked towards the bathroom first.

Si Yuting stood still for a moment before following her.
