Stardust Remembrance

Chapter 19: There's Always Hope (4)

Fake Couple

Although she is not a fae, she walks in the wilderness in despair, she feels the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world, and she can completely understand them. From "abandonment" to "hope" will be a very difficult road, but there is no way back, can only break the boat and go forward!

Qian Xu cut off a bird's leg, wrapped it in a clean leaf, and handed it to Luo Lan: "Eat it with Suikan."

Luo Lan took a bite of the bird meat and another bite of the water mandarin, only to feel her mouth full of juice and fresh aroma, as if all her taste buds had exploded. She couldn't be bothered to talk and nibbled on the bird's leg in one gulp until she couldn't eat anymore, still looking at the rest of the bird's meat with great interest.

Qian Xu used the empty bird eggshell to boil water and put a few leaves that tasted a lot like mint in it, "Try the tea made from the Smoke Thin Grass."

Loran held the egg cup wrapped in green leaves, in the white eggshell, floating in emerald green leaves, the fresh aroma drifted into the nose with the lingering smoke, refreshing.

Qian Xu extinguished the campfire and lifted his egg cup, "Have you decided to settle in Arikata?"

"Hm?" Loran was a bit baffled.

"You said earlier that you had just immigrated to the planet Alicata, I was worried that you wouldn't like life in Alicata."

"I didn't dislike Arrikata ......"

But settling in Arrikata and considering the planet as his home? Loran felt that it wasn't a matter of liking it or not, but that she wasn't qualified to think about it at all, and could only take one step at a time.

Loran held the eggshell, took a sip of water, squinted her eyes, and said, "You grew up on the planet Alicata, you must know Alicata very well, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Can you show me places you find interesting? I want to get to know Arrikata."

Chisuk said slowly, "In my eyes, many places on this planet are interesting."

"It doesn't matter, I have time, we can go to one place at a time, and when we've wandered through the entire Arrikata, I should be able to answer your earlier question."

Qian Xu thought cautiously, "Okay!"

Loran held out his hand in surprise, "You promise? Pull the hook to make a promise!"

Qian Xu couldn't help but hook her pinky with his pinky, "I promise."

"Pull the hook and hang yourself for a hundred years without change!" Loran's thumb and Chisoku's thumb touched and pressed hard together, "The kiss of the alliance!"

Chisoku froze and retracted his hand.

Loran and Chisoku left Adventurer's Paradise at just after five in the afternoon.

The two took a meter flyer back to the Star Train station just in time to catch the six o'clock Star Train. Loran calculated the time and Chisoku would be back at the Institute by eight o'clock.

"Thank you, this is the happiest day I've had since I got to Alicata."

"There will be more and more days like this when you get familiar with Alicata."

Loran smiled and nodded.

Suddenly, the personal terminal rang, and the incoming message showed that it was Purple Feast. It seemed that someone had finally realized that Tatsusa had left her at the orphanage.

Loran smiled apologetically at Chisoku, walked to the center of the two carriages, and picked up the voice call.

Purple Feast opened his mouth and said, "Wait where you are, I'll be there to pick you up immediately."

"No need. I'm already on the star train going back."

Purple Feast's tone lightened up, "Not bad, not only did you not get lost, but you also found your way home on your own."

"In the fairy tale, the princess has to sleep for a thousand years before she can wait for the prince to come to her rescue, I think it's too unreliable, it's better to save yourself."

"You know Tatsuya's temper, why were you late? Knowingly committing a crime is an added offense."

Loran didn't say anything.

"Why don't you say anything?"

"What's there to explain about what's already happened? I'll try to follow his rules from now on." What can't be tried as much as possible will have to go with the flow.

"I'll pick you up at the station."

"No need."

"Be safe and give me a message when you arrive." Violet Feast cut the call.

An hour or so later, the star train arrived at the station.

Qian Xu said that his flying car was parked at a nearby parking pad and offered to take her home, but how dare Loran let him know that she lived in Spyder Palace, she busily said, "My friend came to pick me up and is already waiting outside."

The two of them walked out of the station, Loran saw Purple Banquet's flying car at a glance, fortunately, although Purple Banquet's people were flirty, the car looked not much different from other flying cars.

She didn't dare to linger longer, and after hurriedly saying goodbye to Qian Xu, she ran over in a flash and catapulted into Purple Feast's flying car.

Purple Feast asked: ''Who is that man? What are you doing on this half-day? Even if you couldn't contact Chen Sha, why didn't you contact Feng Lin or me?"

Loran was made very uncomfortable by his series of questions and said nonchalantly, "Firstly, I'm not a criminal and I'm not obligated to answer your questions. Second, Tatsuya is my husband, even if I want to question, he should be the one to do it."

Zi Yan looked at her with a smirk, "Your Highness, when will you and Tatsuha be husband and wife before you say such things!"

Without a word, Luo Lan pushed open the car door and was about to get out.

Zi Yan probed over and tugged on her arm, and Luo Lan fell back onto the seat in a sorry state.

The two of them were just a stone's throw away from each other, their breaths smelling each other and their eyes facing each other, and they couldn't help but both unexpectedly freeze for a moment.

Zi Yan immediately let go of Luo Lan and stepped back, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

Luo Lan completely did not expect him to apologize and was dumbfounded all of a sudden, she suddenly realized that Zi Yan was the first person to apologize to her, a person who seemed the least likely to apologize!

"It's already dark, it's better if I send you back." Purple Feast gave a command to the Intelligence Brain, and the autopilot of the flying car was turned on, speeding towards Spyder Palace.

In the middle of the night, Loran's voice suddenly rang out from the cramped carriage.

"I don't know exactly what you guys think of me in your hearts, a traded expensive cargo, a precious test subject, Tatsusa's nominal wife ...... Princess Loran has been abandoned by the Al Empire, but I have no intention of abandoning myself, I will work hard to get to know Alicata, and maybe one day, I will be like you guys, find a job I like, have a few friends I can make friends with, know what's fun and what's not in Alicata, and live on this planet like a true citizen of Odin."

The tarot cards playing in Violet Feast's hand gradually came to a halt, and she listened quietly.

"Feng Lin's genetic research, I will cooperate where I should, but I will never be your captive humanoid apple tree." Boldly speaking her true thoughts, Loran could not anticipate Zi Yan's reaction, but she had to affirm her bottom line.

Zi Yan turned his head to look at Luo Lan, his gaze dark.

Luo Lan frankly looked back at him, "You seem to be paying extra attention to me, surely it is not because I meet your eye. I assure you that what you are worried about will not happen, because, there is no way that I will be a spy for the Al Empire."

Zi Yan leaned back in her seat, her eyebrows raised, and she said with a smile, "Does Your Highness think that I am the type of person who 'believes whatever others say'?"

"The road knows the horsepower, the day sees the people."

Zi Yan stretched his legs, stroking his chin and muttering, "So an apology can make you xi first-rate cook yo!

He suddenly sat upright, placed his hands on his knees, and looked at Luo Lan sincerely, "I'm sorry!" Their eyes shone brightly as if expecting Luo Lan to say something more heartfelt.

"Get out!" Luolan didn't hold back for a moment, the words that had lingered in her heart many times came out of her mouth.

She was so shocked that she covered her mouth at once, but Zi Yan laughed out loud, "It's good to say what's in your heart, isn't it?"

Loran broke in, "Yeah."

The crystal clear purple tarot cards flew out from between Zi Yan's fingers, dripping and circling Luo Lan's neck, flying back to his fingers.

He clamped the card and handed it to Luo Lan, the two earrings were neatly placed on the card, and Luo Lan subconsciously went to touch his ears, the earrings were surprisingly only left with small halves.

Zi Yan smirked and said, "Most people in this world don't have the qualifications to be cool, unfortunately, you seem to be one of them."

Loran turned around in depression, his head against the car window, banging it one by one. What a brain folder, why would you send him to the door for abuse when you know he's a demon?

"Thanks, bye!"

The flying car hadn't even stopped yet, and Loran couldn't wait to jump out of the car.

"Hey, a friendly reminder, your husband is waiting for your answer."

What do you mean? Loran looked at Violet Feast questioningly.

Violet Feast pointed upward, "The man at the station."

Loran looks up and sees Tatsusa standing by the window, hands in his pants pockets, looking down at them.

Loran was depressed, "You snitched?"

"You're the one who said that only Tatsusa has the right to ask you." Zi Yan justified.

Loran dragged his steps and slowly walked into the house.

Since there was no way to escape, it was better to take the initiative to face it.

She knocked on Tatsuha's door, "May I come in?"

The door opened silently.

Loran walked in, and before she could think of how to speak, Tatsuha turned around, his face like ice, his gaze cold, "The man who walked out of the station with you, the man who made you explode with his acting skills, is it the same person?"

Loran was dumbfounded.

She knew that Chen Sha acted in a very different style from Zi Yan, always straight to the point and hitting the nail on the head, but he was even sharper and more perceptive than she thought.

Chen Sha had gotten an answer from Luo Lan's reaction, "Who is he?"

Loran whispered, "His name is Qian Xu, he used to be a child in an orphanage, and now he is a federal soldier. We met at the institute, I didn't tell him my identity. If you want me to cut ties with him, I wish to go and explain everything to him myself."

Tatsusa said lightly, "There's nothing in the marriage papers that says you can't make friends."

Hmm?

Loran reacted for a split second before understanding what Tatsusa meant, "You, you mean you don't care? But you just asked after me ......"

"Should I care?"

Loran immediately said decisively, "I shouldn't!"

"Reasonable questioning is to ensure your safety, and as a legal husband, I am responsible for your safety."

Loran was speechless, the way you just looked was a reasonable inquiry. Then how intimidating should your unreasonable questioning be?

"Questioning is over, you can go out now."

"Yes!"

Loran dully turned around and walked out, suddenly remembering something and stopped in her tracks. She turned back to look at Tatsuza, wanting to speak.

Tatsuya frowned, "Speak!"

Loran cautiously and stammeringly tried, "You just said ...... legal husband, that, we ...... just have a legal relationship?"

"You love me?"

Loran shook his head.

"Very well, I don't love you either. Our relationship is only going to remain legal."

"You mean ...... we're a fake couple? That our relationship is only to facilitate research into my genes?"

"Right! You cooperate with Feng Lin's research and I'll guarantee your safety."

Loran was relieved, and suddenly felt that Zi Yan had a good point, although Chen Sha was unapproachable, as long as he followed his rules, he wasn't difficult to get along with, at least better than the erratic Zi Yan.
