Stardust Remembrance

Chapter 8: Who I Really Am (1)

The first friend in your address book.

Early morning.

Loran was waiting outside the house for the flying car Anda had arranged to pick her up.

Tatsuya went out the door just as his speeder pulled up in front of Loran.

"Good morning." Loran immediately moved to the side to make way for him and doggedly sent a smile.

Tatsuya listened but did not hear, getting into the flying car without a word and speeding away.

Loran consoled himself, to this kind of short for "high cold", the full name of the patient "high language communication disorder, facial muscle coldness", but let's not get along with his general understanding.

Half an hour later, Loran arrived at the Alicata Life Research Institute, and Feng Lin was already waiting outside the door.

Loran was flattered: "Why are you waiting outside? Didn't you agree that I would send you a message when I arrived?"

Feng Lin said bluntly, "I was afraid that you would temporarily back out and not be able to work quietly, so I just came out to get some air."

If it was the real Princess Luolan, even if she agreed to be a test subject, she would definitely be unwilling and would have to push back, but she was a fake, and a person who had nothing to lose really couldn't be pretentious.

Loran laughed and sighed, "You're overthinking it. The one who should be nervous is me!"

Feng Lin took Luo Lan's arm and said as she walked, "Don't be nervous! Today is just a basic body checkup, just like the checkups you go to the hospital for. If you feel in good shape, we can also do a physical fitness test."

Loran thought for a moment, "I feel in pretty good shape, I can do the fitness test." To be honest, she didn't know anything about her body and was looking forward to getting a good understanding of it.

Feng Lin brought Loran to a large room.

She followed the staff's instructions, changed her clothes, and began to do the examination.

First, her eyesight and hearing were checked, and then a milliliter of blood was drawn.

Before Feng Lin did it, he made a point of explaining, "In addition to the various physical examinations, the lab technician will also use this blood to do a basic genetic analysis."

Loran said graciously, "No problem."

After drawing the blood, Loran lay flat into an instrument that scanned and tested his entire body.

"Okay." The staff opened the instrument and let Loran out.

Loran was surprised and asked, "All checked?" It looked like there were a lot of items to check, but it was much faster than she thought.

"All checked out." Feng Lin smiled and said, "I told you not to be nervous."

Ten or so minutes later, the results of the various checks were summarized and the brain said to Loran, "Congratulations! Your body is very healthy, please keep it up!"

Feng Lin accompanied Loran out of the examination room, "Take a rest, and if you're sure you're in great shape, do the physical fitness test in the afternoon."

Loran had her little plans and said to Feng Lin, "You go to work, don't need to accompany me, I'll stroll around by myself and have lunch together later."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. I'll come often in the future, do you accompany me every moment?"

Feng Lin thought for a moment, "I'll ask Anna to open an employee status for you, you'll be considered an employee of our research institute for the time being, you can use the recreation room and fitness room in the building, as long as the permissions allow you to come and go as you please."

Loran froze for a moment, pointed at himself, and said half-jokingly, "You believe me? Don't forget, I'm the princess of the Al Empire, so beware of me leaking your research secrets to the Al Empire."

Feng Lin rolled his eyes disdainfully, "You're dreaming! Where would our Odin Federation's secrets be leaked out so easily?"

"Well, it's me who overthought it." Loran laughed and spat out his tongue. As a legendary subject to be sliced and studied, it was her good fortune to meet such a smart and kind Frankenstein like Feng Lin.

Feng Lin pointed to Loran's terminal, "The institute's brain will automatically recognize your authority, if the door is open, you can go in, if the door is closed, you can't go in."

This was simple, and Loran didn't have to worry about mistakenly entering a forbidden place of scientific research.

After saying goodbye to Feng Lin, Loran went to the recreation room to play a virtual reality game for a while. When she saw that the time was about the same as yesterday, she pretended to skulk around and went to the third floor.

In the cool corridor, a man in a blue patient uniform and a staff member in white overalls came face to face.

Loran immediately stepped aside, figuring out what to say in case they questioned them.

As it turned out, they didn't seem to have the slightest doubt, nodding politely at Loran and brushing past.

Luo Lan sighed in relief, it seemed normal for people to visit this area, in the future she could come over in a big way and not be afraid of being bumped into.

Walking to the room where she saw Qian Xu yesterday, she found the door of the room closed tightly, and she didn't know whether Qian Xu was still there.

Loran was very nervous but didn't know what exactly she was nervous about.

Just before she was about to ring the doorbell, she hurriedly used her l terminal to check her appearance, straightened her hair, tugged on her skirt, and after confirming that everything was fine, she took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell.

"Come in." As the words were spoken, the door opened.

Chisoku was sitting at his desk, working, and when he saw her come in, he said "Pause" and closed the virtual workbench.

Loran asked uneasily, "Did I disturb you with a sudden visit?"

"No, just looking over some work-related material."

He was wearing a light blue patient gown, his face still pale, but his spirits were better than yesterday.

Loraine carried her hands behind her back and bit her lip, "Remember me?"

"Luo Xun."

Luo Lan's heart skipped a heavy beat, it might just be a usual name to Qian Xu, but to her,m it was the first call from the world!

She smiled brightly and stuck out her thumb, "Correct!"

"Your name is very memorable." Qian Xu smiled slightly, the corners of his eyebrows were calm and serene, making him feel like a spring breeze.

Luo Lan raised her wrist and pointed to her terminal, nervously asking, "Can I add a communication friend?" To do this, she especially confirmed yesterday that only adding communication friends would not reveal her identity, and tossed and turned at night, lest he would refuse.

Qian Xu froze for a moment, "Yes." He said a string of communication numbers.

Luo Lan's heart blossomed and she immediately sent an invitation, and after he confirmed it, Luo Lan's personal address book had an additional communication number.

Luo Lan typed in his name and said joyfully, "I've been helping a friend recently and will be coming to the institute often, so if you're free, feel free to give me a message."

Qian Xu asked in amusement, "Are you this happy every day?"

Loran purposely stares wide-eyed, "Huh? Do you think I'm a robot? How can there be only one state?" She stretched out her three fingers in turn, "I have three states, happy, very happy, very happy, it changes often."

Qian Xu coughed gently, the smile at the corner of his lips deepening.

Loran hesitated and asked, "Do you live here?"

"No, I work at the base's Star Battleship Tactics Research Laboratory and only come to the Life Research Institute when I cooperate with treatment."

In this way, it seems that Qian Xu's illness does not affect normal work and life, and he is working at the base, it is convenient to meet up in the future, Loran is relieved, "Are you usually busy with work?"

"It`s okay."

Loran`s face asked, "Okay how? The kind of good where you have time to chat and talk crap on your -terminal, or the kind where you can only talk about business?"

Chisoku thought for a moment, "Depends on who it is. If it's you, you can chat about nonsense."

Loran couldn't help but be filled with joy, "Such a wise choice, you won't regret it!"

The two chatted a few more times, and Loran excused himself, "I'm going back, I'll see you next time."

"Bye." Qian Xu smiled and said goodbye.

Luo Lan returned to the recreation room, opened her address book, and saw Qian Xu's name, couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Maybe because of the identity of both test subjects, she and Qian Xu share the same illness; maybe because Qian Xu is a normal person and friendly to her, Luo Lan is relaxed in front of him, and won't have the vigilance and nervousness that she had when facing Tatsuza, Zi Yan and the others.

She was Luo Xun, and she had her first friend! Luo Lan felt that everything was too wonderful to be true.

She couldn't help but send a text message to Qian Xu, "Hello!"

Qian Xu replied immediately, "Hello, what's up?"

Luo Lan replied shyly, "Nothing, just checking to see if you could receive the message I sent."

"Received." Qian Xu didn't dislike her nerves, but instead sent a picture of a comforting head rub.
