Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 484 Reminiscing about the past

Ganz waited for the opportunity to ask about their past again. He was inexplicably concerned.

Xu stuttered a little, and it only took him a second to realize that he couldn't tell Gantz the truth. That experience was too shocking, and there were many things he couldn't tell.

So she cut off the beginning and the end, omitted the dark and bloody parts, and gave a brief description of how the two met.

During this time, Haisang just listened quietly, without interrupting or exposing any secrets. Occasionally he would look up and exchange glances with Xu Weiwei, which was an unspoken understanding between the two.

He turned on his computer and searched for the name "Selvie". Looking at the overwhelming amount of information about Xu Weiwei, he regretted it deeply.

The mermaids and the people of the Imperial Capital Star do not use the same network system. He should have known this long ago. How could he be so stupid...

Looking at the account with more than 8 million followers, Haisang silently clicked to follow it. He browsed her previous updates, including the interactions below, and watched them carefully, as if a traveler who had been sent off in the desert for a long time finally found a source of water. His heart was full of satisfaction and cherishment, and he didn't want to waste even a drop.

On the other side, Xu Weiwei had also finished telling Gantz the story. Since the most important part was omitted, the communication between the two became particularly simple.

After saying this, Xu Weiwei began to feel guilty. No matter how hard she tried to exaggerate, on the surface, she and Haisang were just a vendor and a customer.

Gantz is indeed not that easy to fool. The friendship between the two and the familiarity when they met again seem to be more than that. Can they remember each other for so long just by meeting twice?

He opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but the waiter brought the food. Xu Weiwei then changed the subject and asked them to eat, so Ganz had to swallow his doubts for the time being.

At the dinner table, Haisang chatted with Xu Weiwei while helping her peel shrimps and crabs.

Xu Weiwei was still thinking about him saying he hadn't eaten yet, so she urged him to eat first. Ganz quickly chimed in, "Yes! I can peel it for Wei'er, and you can eat yours."

Gantz wanted to show off, but he lived in the mountains and seldom saw these seafoods, let alone how to prepare them. Relying on brute force, he could only get a pool of minced meat mixed with crab shells.

Seeing this, Hai Sang took over and said, "Let me do it."

Watching Haisang skillfully taking out complete strips of crab legs, the desolation in Ganz's eyes seemed tangible.

Xu Weiwei looked at this and that, blocked the plate handed over by Haisang, rolled up her sleeves and put on gloves, and said boldly: "I'll do it!"

She didn't let the two of them interfere at all. This was her first time doing this kind of work. She had always eaten ready-made ones at home, but she had seen it many times and knew how to do it. She was a little unfamiliar at first, but later she peeled faster and faster, and taught Ganz by the way.

Seeing how close the two of them were, Hai Sang suddenly thought of an important question: "Speaking of which, how come you two are brother and sister?"

"I know that Weiwei has three brothers. I've also seen photos of General Sifos and his wife, but Gantz—"

Xu Weiwei knew what Haisang said next.

Gantz really did not look anything like her family, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that.

Xu Weiwei took off his gloves, wiped his hands and said, "Ganz is indeed not related to me by blood. He is the child of my father's friend, my sworn brother, and he lives with us now."

"Eight years ago, I had some health problems and had to leave my hometown to look for a way to save my life. It was the people in Gantz who took me in and cured my illness. In fact, I returned to the Imperial Capital Planet in the spring of this year." Xu Weiwei said in a gentle voice.

When Haisang heard that Xu Weiwei had encountered such a big thing, he was stunned. His heart felt like it was being squeezed and suddenly ached.

The Imperial Capital is one of the only two planets with the best medical technology recognized by interstellar residents. Even they can't help. How serious must it be... What disease did Weiwei have? For eight years...

Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, and Haisang was stunned and said, "Is it because...?

Xu Weiwei held her chin with one hand and tapped her cheek twice with her index finger: "Well - I can't explain it clearly. I have been in poor health since I was born."

"It takes more than one ant to eat away a tree trunk in one day."

Haisang was silent. Xu Weiwei's consolation did not make him feel any better. Such torture must have played a role in pushing him to do so.

The person he missed was not living a better life in a place he couldn't see, and this realization made Haisang feel distressed and self-loathing, even though it was not caused by him.

He raised his head and examined Xu Weiwei's face again, trying to see her true complexion through the exaggerated ink.

"I'm fine now. I'm in great shape and I enjoy everything I eat." Xu smiled and raised his arms.

"That's good...thank you." Haisang turned to Gantz again and said seriously.

Gantz felt extremely uncomfortable. It was the first time in his life that he disliked someone so much. The key point was that this person was his good friend.

"You don't have to thank me." Ganz said stiffly with a straight face. "Weier is my family, it's my duty to take care of her."

Haisang smiled, said nothing, and did not show any unhappiness at all.

Gantz's favorability with him is now second only to Xu Weiwei.

Because of Ganz, he was able to reunite with Vivi and unexpectedly learned that such a big thing had happened to her in the past. Vivi's benefactor is equivalent to his benefactor.

"You're right, brother."

Ganz was caught off guard and choked, coughing violently. Xu Weiwei quickly poured him some water.

"You, ahem! What did you call me?!"

"Brother." Haisang called again without any psychological burden.

Gantz was stuck, not understanding what his friend was doing. The two of them had always addressed each other by their first names in the base. Haisang had never been so polite to him before. Gantz was immediately confused.

"I remember we were about the same age, right?"

"You are three days older than me." Haisang said seriously.

Gantz was silent: Three days is considered a long time? And why didn’t I see you treat me as a brother before…

In the end, it was the word "brother" that brought them closer and eased Ganz's awkwardness. During the meal, the three of them chatted for a long time, from the past to the present.

Haisang and Xu Weiwei also exchanged contact information.

Nearly an hour had passed when a video call request suddenly popped up in front of Haisang. He took a look and hung up. Then the second call came in.

Haisang was annoyed and had to accept it.

"You lost yourself while walking around a seafood market? Does it really feel like home?"

Xu Weiwei, who was sitting opposite, couldn’t see the video screen, but from the other party’s voice and the content of the chat, she felt that they were good friends.

"Where are you? It looks like a restaurant to me... Great! You're having a big meal by yourself without taking us?! No wonder you were so decisive when we split up!"

"Gululu!"

"No, I..." Haisang tried to explain, but it was obvious that his teammates didn't intend to listen to him.

"Where are you now? Stay still and we'll come find you."

Hai Sang hung up the call with a snap. The veins on his forehead throbbed twice. Then he stood up and said to Xu Weiwei, "You heard everything. I'm afraid I have to go."

"Actually, there's no need to panic. You can ask them to come over and have something to eat." Xu Weiwei said sympathetically.

Haisang shook his head. "What are your plans next?"

Xu Weiwei and Ganz also stood up, put on their masks again, and wrapped their scarves around their necks. "It's getting late now. It will be dark soon. We should go back soon."

"Well, it's better to go back early. It will be very cold outside later."

"Then—I'm leaving."

Haisang's movements were somewhat hesitant and reluctant. He took a step forward on tiptoe, turned around, opened his arms to hug Ganz, and patted him on the back twice.

Xu Weiwei was watching all the fun from the side, but she didn't expect that she would be involved. She was a little surprised when Xu hugged her, but she soon accepted it happily and raised her arms to imitate him and pat him twice.

But the hug was too fast. As soon as her arms were raised in the air, Haisang took a step back and turned away, leaving her with only the fresh smell of sea salt.

Xu rubbed his face awkwardly, then put his hands in his pockets as if nothing had happened. "Let's go too."
