“Qiuqiu, Mirage Beibei, stop playing.”
Shao Zifeng had just picked up his down jacket before remembering that the Snow Dragon was sealed, and the right temperature meant there was no need for down jackets.
“Ying~”
Qiuqiu obediently stopped tapping Mirage Beibei and with a light jump grabbed Shao Zifeng’s sleeve, nimbly climbing onto his shoulder, its long tail hanging down, swaying back and forth.
Mirage Beibei carefully lifted its giant clam shell and saw that the demon had left, then gave Shao Zifeng a look of aggrieved innocence.
Is this what you call playing?
So love will disappear, right?
…
The grand hall of the Snow Dragon was situated below the command room, occupying an entire floor.
The hall included a variety of areas for leisure and relaxation, including an entertainment zone, lounge area, viewing area, fitness area, kitchen, and a bar.
As for the pet training arena, it was on the lowest level for safety reasons.
The idea was to keep the researchers from developing negative emotions or stress due to the long voyage.
When Shao Zifeng pushed open the door, he was also amazed by the exquisitely decorated hall. He would not have felt this way in another place, but this was at sea.
The entire hall was divided into various decorative styles. The bar in the farthest corner was done in a nostalgic solid wood style, the open kitchen had a modern minimalist look, and each area was distinctive yet harmonious. Even the lighting was very warm and soft.
In the most eye-catching part of the center of the hall stood several tables with casual sofas surrounding them,
where a group of young people were comfortably sprawled on sofas chatting, with all sorts of snacks and beverages on the tables in front of them.
In the nearby open kitchen, a plump chef in an apron and chef’s hat was busily preparing food. He was brushing sauce onto the frying meat with a small brush, and the fragrance wafting through the hall, despite the range hood, tantalized the taste buds of the young people.
Qiuqiu, nestled on Shao Zifeng’s neck, straightened its neck and sniffed the air eagerly, its eyes almost bulging out with desire.
“Zifeng, over here.”
Cang Haiyuan was the first to spot Shao Zifeng standing at the door; he stood up and waved to him.
As Shao Zifeng approached, several young people greeted him with friendly smiles. He had met them briefly during the upload, members of Chen Yixin’s team.
After a brief acknowledgment, he sat down next to Cang Haiyuan.
A slightly portly middle-aged man with a receding hairline was enthusiastically recounting something, and everyone else was listening with great interest.
“Who’s that?” Shao Zifeng whispered.
Cang Haiyuan responded softly, “That is the director of the Kunlun station for this permanent research expedition. He has several antarctic expeditions under his belt and is sharing some anecdotes from the field.”
Upon hearing this, Shao Zifeng grew interested; he knew very little about Antarctica, and it was a great opportunity to learn from an experienced predecessor.
“Ding~”
“Dinner time, exclusive secret recipe steak!”
Before he could listen further, a crisp bell rang out from the nearby open kitchen, and a sweaty portly chef shouted out loud.
The expedition leader immediately stood up, “Let’s eat first, let’s eat. I’ve been craving Lao Wu’s steak for a long time.”
“Ah, come on, Captain Cui, you just sit there, I’ll go get it for you,” a tall and thin young man with black-rimmed glasses and slightly curly messy hair quickly stood up.
Shao Zifeng remembered the young man as a member of Chen Yixin’s team, but didn’t know his name.
“Nah,” Captain Cui waved his hand, “The story is all told; how else am I going to chat with you youngsters in the future?”
“Let’s eat first, then talk.”
Having said that, he walked toward the kitchen with his slightly bulging beer belly leading the way.
Everyone had no choice but to follow Station Chief Cui to get their meals.
“Chef Wu, it’s lucky you’re here again. Last time, that chef… I ended up losing over ten pounds during the survey.” Station Chief Cui patted his beer belly and glanced over the greasy steaks: “Can I have two pieces this time?”
“Shoo, shoo, shoo. If you keep eating like this, who knows, by the time you return, your wife might have found you a new ‘brother’.” Chef Wu waved his spatula and joked.
Station Chief Cui wasn’t offended and used the tongs to pick up a piece of beef, then added some cherry tomatoes and broccoli as sides.
After taking a deep whiff of the aroma, Station Chief Cui replied, “Heh heh… you’re not worried about your sister-in-law finding you a ‘brother’ with that body of yours, so why should I worry?”
Chef Wu, growing impatient, urged him on: “Move along, move along, don’t hold up the line for others to get their food.”
After Station Chief Cui left, the line moved much quicker. By the time it was Shao Zifeng’s turn, Qiuqiu’s eyes were nearly popping out of its head.
Its little claws clung tightly to Shao Zifeng’s clothes, its mouth drooling so much it almost dripped onto someone’s dinnerware.
Chef Wu placed a steak onto Shao Zifeng’s plate: “Young man, you look pretty young. Are you already a researcher?”
“No, I’m still a student,” Shao Zifeng denied as he took his plate.
Chef Wu gave him a smiling thumbs-up: “Impressive. When I was your age, I was still learning to cook.”
Shao Zifeng smiled back, and just as he was about to leave, Qiuqiu, seeing only one piece of meat on the plate, suddenly became disgruntled. It tugged at Shao Zifeng’s collar, pointed at the steaks in front of Chef Wu, slurped up the drool from the corner of its mouth, and made a whining sound.
Chef Wu, amused by its gluttonous expression, picked up a plate, placed a small piece of steak on it, and handed it to Shao Zifeng: “Since the little guy likes it so much, go ahead and take it.”
“I really shouldn’t,” Shao Zifeng expressed hesitantly.
Chef Wu leaned forward slightly and revealed a mysterious smile: “It’s just one less bite for me, nothing to worry about.”
Shao Zifeng got the hint; no wonder you’re in such “good health.”
On the way to the table, Qiuqiu fixated on the steak, its long tail swishing back and forth, seeming to be in quite a good mood.
Cang Haiyuan looked at Shao Zifeng’s plate in surprise: “Huh, how come you have two pieces for yourself?”
“Ying ying!”
Qiuqiu glared fiercely at him. He had made fun of Qiuqiu before, and it was very vengeful.
Cang Haiyuan shrank his neck and lowered his head to eat his own meal; this little ancestor was not one to be messed with.
Let’s not even talk about its strength; Professor Chen dotes on it immensely.
After sitting down, everyone was quietly eating their food. Someone went to the bar to get fruit wine and drinks to share with everyone. Station Chief Cui, gleaming with grease, was now helping other people eat with his eyes.
Just as he placed his plate on the table, Qiuqiu hurriedly jumped down.
It hugged the steak with both little paws and opened its mouth wide to bite.

But.
For a dragon with no teeth, this was clearly beyond capability.
It looked at the steak on the plate, huffing and puffing as its pupils started to smolder with small flames.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Shao Zifeng tapped Qiuqiu’s little head with his finger, “We can’t have you growing big here, now can we?”
