The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead
Chapter 505: The Familiar Ha Ha

Chapter 505: Chapter 505: The Familiar Ha Ha

"Ha Ha" absolutely captured Commander Xiong Da’s attention.

That was Admiral Yun He’s most trusted confidant.

However, after the admiral’s death, this guy had vanished.

They, his old subordinates, had searched for a long time but couldn’t find Ha Ha. Could he have ended up here?

Commander Xiong Da’s gaze followed the direction pointed out by the deputy officer, and Ha Ha was running toward them, carrying a hoe at a rapid pace.

Commander Xiong Da pushed aside the deputy officer standing by his side and walked several steps forward, opening his arms with excitement and shouting with a trembling chest, "Ha Ha! Brother!"

"Huff—"

A breeze whiffed past, and Ha Ha ran by.

Commander Xiong Da’s arms were still awkwardly suspended in the air, but Ha Ha hadn’t even glanced at the stout Commander Xiong Da; he headed straight for Nian Shutong.

"What a good person! Ha Ha did the most work!"

"Great job!"

Nian Shutong, looking pleased, patted Ha Ha on the head, and Ha Ha, smiling foolishly with satisfaction, bowed his head.

Commander Xiong Da didn’t go inside either. Lowering his arms, he muttered to himself, "That’s so Ha Ha."

He didn’t even have time to feel disappointed as scenes from the past flashed through his mind.

Ha Ha’s eyes had only one person in them; that was Admiral Yun He.

But now, it seemed Nian Shutong should be added to that list.

Xiong Da didn’t know what kind of charm Nian Shutong possessed to have convinced Ha Ha.

Ha Ha was absolutely the most stubbornly principled person Commander Xiong Da had ever seen. The problem was Ha Ha had his own set of principles, which left you speechless and thoroughly resistant to following your expectations.

Having lowered his arms, Commander Xiong Da walked over to Ha Ha and greeted him again.

"Ha Ha, I’m Xiong Da!"

Ha Ha, who had been laughing foolishly with his head down, looked up at Commander Xiong Da. There was no surprise or joy of meeting an old friend in his gaze, just a flat "Oh."

"Good person, today Ha Ha dug holes on the mountain, a lot and a lot."

"Good, thank you, Ha Ha."

Nian Shutong thanked him again, and Ha Ha, chuckling "hehe," said, "I’m not tired at all."

The simple and foolish Ha Ha completely ignored Commander Xiong Da’s presence, showed off his accomplishments to Nian Shutong, then walked away with the hoe.

He didn’t leave even a glance for Commander Xiong Da.

Commander Xiong Da watched Ha Ha walk away in another direction without a single greeting.

A very typical Ha Ha.

But Commander Xiong Da didn’t chase after him; he simply took a step forward and started talking to Nian Shutong.

"How did Ha Ha end up here?"

"He fell from the sky."

Nian Shutong spoke the truth, for indeed, Ha Ha had fallen from the sky, adding to the food burden of the already not-so-wealthy small wooden house.

Commander Xiong Da believed it because Ha Ha has disappeared from a Starship all of a sudden.

"Do you know who Ha Ha is?"

Nian Shutong glanced in the direction where Ha Ha had left and asked innocently, "Do I need to know who he is?"

Nian Shutong’s rhetorical question choked up Commander Xiong Da. Do people here always talk in such an annoying way?

However, he retorted, "Indeed, there’s no need."

Ha Ha looked happy here, much like how he was when Admiral Yun He was still alive. Going back or not didn’t seem to matter.

What was most important was that Ha Ha was a free man; he was not a soldier.

Admiral Yun He had never enlisted Ha Ha, he had just been brought up by his side since he was young; everyone was accustomed to it.

Commander Xiong Da couldn’t glean any more information and was just about to change the subject when Master Fan from the other side called out.

"Dinner’s ready!"

"Boss, the braised pork is ready!"

Ms. Nian Shutong cheerfully responded, "Coming!"

"Commander Xiong Da, try our food here."

"Ha Ha Ha! Old Xiong is in for a treat."

Ms. Nian Shutong invited Commander Xiong Da to sit at their dining table, while the other deputy officers and subordinates were arranged at a large table nearby, enjoying the same dishes.

The table was abundant with dishes, a mix of meat and vegetables, all looking delicious.

By now, members of the small wooden house slowly emerged, gathering around the dining table.

Ms. Nian Shutong first introduced everyone, only sharing names. Then, she picked up her chopsticks and said to Commander Xiong Da, "Welcome to Blue Star as a guest, please feel free to enjoy."

"Very well, thank you."

Everyone began eating. Ms. Nian Shutong got the braised pork she had ordered—tender and richly flavorful, delicious without being greasy.

The atmosphere at the small wooden house’s table was harmonious, though Commander Xiong Da’s gaze remained fixed on Elder Hua.

The old man looked very familiar, but he hesitated to recognize him.

After all, the former head of the Imperial Military Academy had been missing for decades, and he was not certain.

Admiral Yun He understood Commander Xiong Da’s thoughts best, but naturally, he wouldn’t mention it.

The meal started with Commander Xiong Da’s mind full of questions, which were gradually overtaken by the delicious spread before him.

It was incredibly tasty!

Not just a single dish, but all of them.

Whether it was the vegetables or the meats, they were all the best he had ever tasted.

After the meal, Commander Xiong Da began touring Blue Star with Admiral Yun He’s company.

Ms. Nian Shutong, as a Planet Master, didn’t need to join, of course.

Ms. Nian Shutong walked toward her room, pondering how long Commander Xiong Da would stay.

She planned to treat Lin Mu’s injuries, but having a visitor made things awkward—better to wait a bit.

"Ms. Nian Shutong."

The familiar address and voice gave Ms. Nian Shutong a premonition of what Rubble was about to say.

"You’re out of money?"

"Rubble’s out of money."

The two spoke simultaneously, almost the same words.

However, this time Ms. Nian Shutong had a different reaction than before; she openly flipped open her Light Computer, flinging her arm several times.

"Tell me, how much do you need! I’ll give it to you."

Ms. Nian Shutong felt incredibly delighted inside. Not having to worry about spending money felt marvelous!

Something’s wrong?

No worries. I’ve got money, and I’ll knock you out with it!

Rubble tilted his head and said to Ms. Nian Shutong, "Today’s Ms. Nian Shutong seems different, without your usual constipated expression, you appear to be in a good mood."

Ms. Nian Shutong, who was originally in good spirits, lifted her eyebrows and glanced at Rubble, retracting her Light Computer.

"Ah, suddenly, my mood’s turned sour. Let’s talk about this some other time."

"I remember Xiao He and I transferred over a hundred billion Star Coins to you. What did you do with it?"

Ms. Nian Shutong, who had taken back her Light Computer, was ready to inquire; it seemed she couldn’t be too generous after all. This spendthrift Rubble really knew how to burn through money.

"Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble has recorded every expenditure in detail. Please review it."

Ms. Nian Shutong wasn’t prepared when Rubble handed her a roll of accounts thirty centimeters thick, which unfurled in the breeze, stretching out tens of meters.

Looking at the fluttering bills, Ms. Nian Shutong couldn’t shake the feeling that she was like a mistress recklessly spending her money while striving hard to earn more to cover her expenses.

She shook her head and pulled the accounts back, saying, "I’ll take it and look it over later."

"Very well, Ms. Nian Shutong. Here is Rubble’s new request for funds, please review it."

Ms. Nian Shutong looked at the new roll, three times thicker than the previous one, and asked in disbelief, "Do you eat Star Coins?"
