My carefree life in space

Chapter 76 An Family Siblings

After listening for a while and not finding any useful information, Lin Shushu was about to withdraw her attention when a voice came from the corner of the restaurant.

"Brother, are we really going to J56?" It was a girl's voice.

"Xiaojie, this is our only way out. We have to try no matter what." An Yuanheng didn't want to take his sister on a risky trip, but it was just the two of them left at home. He was really worried about leaving his sister with him.

"But the StarNet says that all the major powers have gone there. With them there, will we still be able to mine the ore?" The girl was still worried. Whether or not they could mine the ore was not her biggest concern. What worried her most was the safety of herself and her brother.

“There’s no need to worry about that. The Empire has made a special rule for this situation. Everyone who comes to J56 must register their identity information. They’ve also designated a special area that only allows individuals to enter, just to prevent major powers from seizing territory,” An Yuanheng said with a smile, reassuring his sister.

Next, the brother and sister exchanged views on how to find minerals, but Lin Shushu did not listen any further.

She was considering whether she should fly to J56 herself, even though she could get there without anyone noticing, but she didn't want to keep hiding and never see anyone.

After thinking for a while, Lin Shushu decided to take the spaceship from here to J56, and learn more about other details along the way.

An hour later, Lin Shushu boarded the spaceship bound for planet J56.

After weaving through the crowd, Lin Shushu found her seat. Just as she sat down and closed her eyes to take a short nap, she heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Brother, our seats are over here." It was Xiaojie, the girl in the restaurant.

Lin Shushu opened her eyes and, sure enough, saw a boy leading a girl to the two seats opposite her.

Perhaps realizing that her voice had startled Lin Shushu, the girl apologized apologetically, "Sister, I'm sorry, was my voice too loud and disturbed you?"

Lin Shushu smiled slightly, "No need to apologize, I just arrived, you didn't disturb me."

Upon hearing this, the girl smiled with relief.

Lin Shushu was puzzled as to why this girl named Xiaojie was so cautious, even though she hadn't done anything wrong, she was still afraid of being blamed by others.

Thinking of her past life, Lin Shushu immediately understood the reason. Growing up in an orphanage, she was somewhat insecure and lacked self-confidence, which led to difficulties in her studies and work later on.

Since arriving in the interstellar world and acquiring the space artifact, she had been living a life of ease, leaving her past experiences only in her dreams. Seeing the girl before her now inevitably brought back memories of her less-than-pleasant past.

Lin Shushu snapped out of her thoughts and noticed that the girl opposite her was secretly looking at her. When their eyes met, the girl's face instantly turned red.

After realizing that Lin Shushu didn't blame her, the girl mustered up her courage and confessed, "I just thought you were so beautiful, so I glanced at you a few more times."

Faced with her sincere praise, Lin Shushu found it difficult to remain aloof, and she started chatting casually with the girl opposite her.

After talking, Lin Shushu learned that the girl's name was An Xiaojie, she was 15 years old, and her brother's name was An Yuanheng, he was 17 years old. Lin Shushu also took the opportunity to introduce herself.

Upon hearing the surname An, Lin Shushu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?

On second thought, what a coincidence!

Unbeknownst to her, while she was lost in thought about the surname An, An Yuanheng across from her also looked dazed upon hearing her surname.

To be honest, although Lin Shushu knew that the original owner's grandmother's surname was An, she didn't know any more specific details. After all, she had been confined to a small courtyard since childhood and had no opportunity to contact the outside world, and Ning Ya would never tell her these things.

Lin Shushu knew about her father and grandmother because she needed to sort out the inheritance relationship when inheriting M19 star, and that was all. It was impossible for her to know anything more.

So she didn't really know which planet her grandmother came from; she only knew it was a remote planet.

Although she felt in her heart that it couldn't be such a coincidence, Lin Shushu still subtly inquired about the situation of the An siblings.

She finally understood why An Xiaojie was somewhat timid.

Like her, the An siblings also lost both parents at a young age. Fortunately, the two siblings supported each other and managed to grow up despite all the hardships.

The reason they came to J56 for their adventure was because An Xiaojie had recently fallen seriously ill and needed a large sum of money for treatment. To pay for An Xiaojie's treatment, An Yuanheng not only sold off the last of his family's assets but also mortgaged his house.

Fortunately, An Xiaojie finally recovered, but their lives fell into difficulties.

Just then, An Yuanheng saw information about J56 on the StarNet. He felt that this might be the best opportunity for the brother and sister, so he brought his sister along.

An Yuanheng originally didn't want to take his sister with him, but how could An Xiaojie let her brother go on an adventure alone? Besides, An Yuanheng wouldn't feel at ease leaving her alone in their hometown.

Perhaps fearing that Lin Shushu would think her brother was disregarding her safety by insisting on bringing her along, An Xiaojie proudly introduced her to Lin Shushu, "Sister Shushu, don't underestimate my brother just because he's only 17 years old. He's already a level three physical warrior and a level two mental warrior."

After hearing this, Lin Shushu pretended to be surprised and praised him, which made An Yuanheng lower his head in embarrassment.

Although An Yuanheng is not very old, his difficult childhood experiences have taught him some skills in judging people.

The girl opposite him, who wasn't much older than him, was definitely not simple. The fact that she dared to come to J56 planet alone spoke volumes.

So he felt quite embarrassed by his sister's praise.

As the group chatted from time to time, the tedious journey finally became a little more interesting and less unbearable.

Five days later, they finally arrived at J56.

Meanwhile, Mo Ze rushed back to M19.

He thought that after their brief separation, Lin Shushu would at least give him a welcoming kiss, or at the very least, hold him close and express their longing for each other.

The truth is, he searched the entire manor but couldn't find Lin Shushu. He assumed she had entered the spatial dimension, and although he missed her terribly, he waited patiently in the manor.

He knew he couldn't receive messages in the space, so he didn't send a message to Lin Shushu immediately.

Two days later, Lin Shushu was still nowhere to be seen, and Mo Ze finally sensed something was wrong. Since returning to M19, although Lin Shushu would occasionally enter her spatial realm to cultivate, she would spend most of her time outside. Not coming out for two days was truly unusual.

Could it be that... Shushu isn't home at all?

Mo Ze raised his hand and tapped his head, somewhat annoyed. Why didn't he check first? He quickly sent a message to Lin Shushu, asking where she was.
