"Nevertheless, Yungo has given our chef team high praise. He believes our chef team has reached a culinary level comparable to Aileen's team!" Grace added, thumbing up, while also kicking Yungo under the table.

Catching on, Yungo sighed and narrated, "Right! That's true! Although I haven't eaten much lately, I have indeed noticed that our chef team's skills have improved significantly! It seems that Sister Aileen has indeed taught them a lot these days! If Sister Aileen were still here, perhaps our chefs could master even more gourmet cooking techniques! I hope Sister Aileen is doing well over there! Old Zhou! You must take good care of Sister Aileen, and you guys must be happy over there!"

Since the crew members of the Express Vanguard have not yet recovered from the sorrow of the Broadsword Expeditionary Force's complete sacrifice, the explanation provided by Grace and Yungo naturally easily gained everyone's approval at the scene. Thus, Captain Tim no longer dwelled on Yungo's issue and sighed, patting Yungo's shoulder, "Sigh! Who isn't? Aileen, Captain Ann, and Old Zhou have also formed a deep friendship with me during this period, and how could I not feel sad because of their sacrifice every moment? Forget it! Everyone has had a tough time recently, so we should understand each other more and not always grasp others' problems. You're right, aren't you?"

"You're absolutely right! I was wrong before! I'm sorry!" Yungo heard the words and once again sincerely apologized.

"Alright! Since you've admitted your mistake, let this matter pass. However, you should still adjust your mentality as soon as possible to avoid affecting your work. You know, you are the operator of the Express Vanguard. If you make a mistake at work due to poor condition, then the consequences would be really unimaginable! So no matter what, you should try to taste more delicious food. After all, delicious food is the best way to help us reduce mental stress. Maybe if you eat more, it can promote your appetite recovery, and all the troubles in your heart will be taken away through the digestion of food?" Captain Tim counseled with great significance.

Yungo didn't understand why Captain Tim attached so much importance to his not eating, but to avoid Captain Tim from discovering his own problems as much as possible, he could only respond obediently, "Yes sir! From now on, I will definitely eat more and try to relieve mental stress through dietary therapy. However, due to the significant mental impact brought to me by Old Zhou's sacrifice, my mind has been very confused during this period, so I really want to be quiet after work. So, Captain, can you allow me not to participate in the Food Festival and instead enjoy delicious food quietly in my rest cabin alone? Perhaps, a relatively quiet environment is more conducive to accelerating the relief of my mental stress and thus better help me recover my previous appetite?"

Seeing Captain Tim nodding in agreement while listening to Yungo's speech, Grace hurriedly persuaded, "Captain, don't worry! I will help Yungo recover as soon as possible! And now with your order, I will naturally supervise Yungo to eat seriously for you! As long as I find out that he is not eating well, I will immediately report to you and assist you in dealing with him if necessary!"

Captain Tim looked at Grace and then at Yungo, then suddenly seemed to understand something and laughed, "Hahaha! Alright, you two don't need to say any more! I understand what you mean! Hey! It's perfectly normal for a couple who have found their feelings to want to be alone together! So, I approve you two to go back to free activities! Anyway, as long as you remember to enjoy the delicious food provided by the chefs! But I must say in advance! We are now carrying out an important return mission, so I still hope you two can stop in time and not make too much noise. Especially those things related to reproducing offspring, it's better to wait until you return and do it at home!"

Damn it! Captain, what are you talking about?! How did I want to be alone quietly become Grace and I want to be alone quietly? And what is reproducing offspring and making too much noise? What is in Captain's mind?! You are too dirty, aren't you?! Yungo couldn't help but smile bitterly and didn't know how to respond, so he could only pour out his grievances in his heart and showed a very ugly expression on his face.

Of course, the main reason for Yungo's ugly expression was that he saw a strong murderous intent against himself on Grace's shy pretty face. In addition, the strong pain from his foot, which seemed to be crushed by Grace, was also one of the reasons for his ugly expression at the moment.

Anyway, Yungo finally returned to his rest cabin as he wished under Captain Tim's special permission and didn't have to be forced to participate in the Food Festival held on the spaceship before he recovered his mental state. However, Yungo also gained new troubles. That is, to ensure that he could get enough food in his rest cabin, the chef team delivered food to his door on time every day. And that's not all. After each delivery, the chef either stood outside Yungo's rest cabin for a while or returned soon after, using the excuse of providing dessert for Yungo to enter his rest cabin quickly and look at Yungo's dining situation.

Although the amount of food brought by the chef each time is not large, for Yungo who has no appetite, it is not very easy to deal with the food frequently delivered by the chef. And every time the chef sees food left on Yungo's plate, there will be a trace of displeasure on his face. This leads to Yungo's appetite further declining under the invisible pressure imposed by the chef.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

However, fortunately, Grace, who also doesn't have to participate in the Food Festival, and the chefs will not stare at Grace's dining situation like they do with Yungo, which gives Grace the opportunity to help Yungo deal with the food. As for how to deal with Yungo's food, it is actually Yungo will take the opportunity when the chef is not there to give part of the food to Grace, and then Grace will find a way to deal with the extra food. After all, for Grace, although these delicious foods are very tempting, every time she sees Yungo who has no appetite, she will try to control her own appetite to ensure that she can share weal and woe with Yungo.

Let's not talk about whether Grace's approach is extreme or not, at least her behavior shows that she really cares about Yungo's feelings. As for how Grace deals with the food, it's actually very simple, she will take the opportunity when no one is paying attention to throw the extra food into the spaceship's waste recycling bin, waiting for the waste recycling bin to decompose and recycle these foods along with other waste.

Yungo and Grace's cooperation is seamless, so the chefs have not found any problems, thus reducing some of the invisible pressure on Yungo. However, even so, the chefs still seem very vigilant and will use seemingly casual eyes to check the situation in Yungo's rest cabin every time they deliver and pick up food, to ensure that Yungo is eating well. As the chefs' monitoring of Yungo's dining situation becomes more and more blatant, Yungo also gradually realizes that something seems to be wrong.

So, Yungo took the opportunity when Grace packed up all the remaining food and was about to take it back to her rest cabin for processing, and asked in a very mysterious tone, "Hey, have you noticed that everyone seems to be more and more wrong during this period?"

"What's wrong? Are you going to start your conspiracy theory again?" Grace responded with indifference.

"Don't you notice that the chefs seem to be very worried that we won't eat well, so they take the opportunity to check the dining situation every time they deliver meals? How to say it? I now have an increasing feeling that I am being force-fed by the chefs. Also, have you noticed that since we had an unpleasant encounter with Xiao Liu last time, people's attitude towards us has become strange?" Yungo said.

"What's strange?" Grace frowned and asked.

"Haven't you noticed that people seem to be alienating us? And every time we show up, there will be a trace of strangeness in everyone's expressions." Yungo replied.

Grace rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Strange? We are not monsters, why would they think we are strange? I say you guy, where do you have so many conspiracy theories? People look at us strangely because I have been cooperating with you, making everyone mistakenly think that we have done something in private——, oh! Forget it! Let's not talk about this! You should also think about it, if the chefs really want to force-feed you, would they let you stay in the rest cabin and eat whatever you want comfortably? If they really want to force-feed you, even if they don't tie you up and pour the food directly into your stomach, they would at least watch you eat all the food on the spot, right?"

"Moreover, the chefs care so much about your appetite because your position and status in Captain Tim's eyes are different from others. Besides, the chefs of course hope to see their food effective in relieving symptoms! After all, before this, the canteen of the Express Vanguard was at the tail end of the industry, which made Captain Tim always want to replace the entire chef team. So, the chefs of course hope that the food they cook can help adjust your appetite and state! Because in this way, they can further gain Captain Tim's approval and continue to serve on the Express Vanguard!"

Grace's words naturally make sense, and Yungo, because most of his views come from speculation rather than actual evidence, can't find any counterarguments for a while. However, even so, Yungo still stubbornly stated that he felt something was wrong. Moreover, Yungo once again emphasized that he always felt that the crew's words and deeds have gradually become strange since the beginning of the Food Festival. In addition, Yungo always felt that the chefs' concern about his dining situation exceeded the normal range, so he suddenly speculated that it might be because there was something wrong with the food provided by the chefs, causing everyone to eat problems and become strange.

Grace listened with disdain and snorted coldly, then knocked on her head and said, "Humph! You still have the face to say that others have problems! Isn't the person with the biggest problems on the spaceship now you? Is it possible that the reason why you have these ideas is related to the aftermath left in your brain? If your brain was like that of a normal person, you wouldn't be so suspicious, would you?"

Although Grace's words were harsh, objectively speaking, Yungo couldn't rule out that the doubts he had recently were related to the problems in his brain. Because after hearing Grace say this, Yungo couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Could it be that I am overthinking? Could it be that the condition in my brain has worsened, leading me to start having wild thoughts? Since Yungo also knew that people with brain diseases do indeed have symptoms of memory decline and thought disorder at the same time, he had to question his own ideas at this time.

So, Yungo said with a bit of self-mockery, "The possibility you mentioned does exist. It seems that as my amnesia continues to occur, my brain is more and more like a bottle of paste! Hey! It seems that when we return this time, you really have to take me to Dr. Hu for a good check! Otherwise, maybe one day, I will become a fool!"

Grace knew that behind Yungo's seemingly relaxed self-mockery was anxiety caused by the increasing severity of his brain disease. So, she quickly changed back to a gentle tone and comforted, "Ah! Although you often have symptoms of amnesia, you should not be too anxious! Because Dr. Hu is very excellent and very familiar with your condition. So as long as you go to Dr. Hu for a check-up on time and actively cooperate with Dr. Hu's treatment, you will definitely get rid of the amnesia!"

"Ah! I hope so!" Yungo scratched his hair and said. Obviously, he was skeptical about Grace's words.

"Ah! Don't think about it! You should have confidence in yourself and Dr. Hu! Besides, even if the traditional treatment effect is not obvious, you can just implant a bionic lobule assistor in your brain through minimally invasive transplantation technology, and then with traditional treatment methods, it can also cure your amnesia symptoms."
