Stardust Remembrance

Chapter 34: This Is Me (3)

The beeping sound suddenly rang out.

As if waking up from a dream, Qian Xu immediately took a big step backward, pulling away from the two of them.

Luo Lan looked down at her terminal in a panic and realized that the incoming message showed that it was Tatsuya.

She was shocked and took a deep breath before connecting to the audio, "Is something wrong?"

"Feng Lin asked me to escort you home."

"No need, there's a bodyguard."

"I'm downstairs in the dormitory."

Loran was confused, what did that mean? Suddenly reacting, Tatsusa was under Chisoku's dormitory.

She didn't have the guts to keep Tatsusa waiting, and hurriedly said, "I'll come down immediately."

Loran hangs up the audio and says to Qian Xu, "Whatever your decision is, I accept it."

Life is indeed precious, but there are always things and people in a fickle life that are worth fighting for with one's life. Like him, she put the gun that killed her in the palm of the other's hand, hanging life and death on the other's whim.

Fate is mysterious and unpredictable, small since she is not willing, wants to break free from the powerful fate, can only fight all, lose, win, she all recognize!

Qian Xu did not have the slightest reaction, still expressionless.

Luo Lan was in a gloomy mood, lowered her head, and hurriedly walked outside. When the two brushed past, Qian Xu violently grabbed her arm, Luo Lan's body stiffened, and looked back at him.

"The story just now, it's just a story!"

"What?"

"Don't ever tell that story to anyone again, and I'll forget all about it. You never said anything, I never heard anything."

Backlit by the night, Chisoku's face was hidden in the darkness, nothing could be seen clearly. His voice was cold and hard, so clear that it was like a knife scraping bone, stabbing sharply into Loran's ears one at a time, but her heart settled at once.

Even though he knew that she was a death row prisoner who had escaped from prison, even though he knew that she had deceived the entire Odin Federation, Qian Xu still chose to keep the secret.

Loran spread her face and smiled, ''Don't worry. I'm not a fool, how could I just tell someone something like that? But ......" she bit her lip and emphasized word by word, "I said it, you heard it. You are not allowed to forget!"

Qian Xu's body stiffened as if the arm he was holding burned him, and violently let go of Luo Lan.

Luo Lan had a stomach full of things to say, but thinking that Chen Sha was downstairs, he didn't dare to delay any longer, "I'll leave first, I'll come back to you later."

Loran rushed out the door of the building and saw the flying car parked on the side of the road.

She ran over with light footsteps, nodded her head, and got into the car, compensating with a smile, "Excuse me."

Tatsusa shot her a look, "Chisoku's not cutting you off?"

"Haven't convinced him yet, but it's kind of a good start." Luo Lan's heart fluttered and suddenly asked, "If you were Qian Xu, would you forgive my deception?"

Tatsusa said coldly, "I'm not him."

"I mean if!"

"There are no ifs!"

Loran deflated, feeling simply unable to communicate at all, and sullenly turned his head, leaning over the car window to admire the view outside.

In the silence, Tatsusa's voice suddenly rang out, "I abhor deception and do not forgive it."

Loran's heart stuttered, and a sudden chill ran through her entire body.

She slowly turned her head, "Sometimes it's not a conscious desire to lie, it's just hopeless."

"A liar's hopelessness boils down to selfishness, deceiving others for their own sake."

Loran was powerless to refute this, because Tatsusa was right, all lies, no matter how much they are hopeless and forced, are ultimately due to one's selfishness.

This question she shouldn't ask at all, Chen Sha does things straight, such a person won't, doesn't care to deceive others, and naturally abhors the deception of others.

Chen Sha looked at Luo Lan's ugly face, and said stiffly, "I'm just answering your question, it's not personal, the person you deceived is not me."

Luo Lan smiled and said self-deprecatingly, "I understand, as long as I don't cheat you, you won't care what I do."

Tatsusa was silent.

Loran perked up and asked, "I've heard that there are ways to rapidly improve physical fitness in the military, is that true?"

"There are specialized special training."

"If I want to participate, how do I apply?"

Tatsusa said, "In any star nation, the special training for class A physical fitness is classified, my legal relationship with you is not suitable to make a decision, I can ask the consul for you."

"No need, I'll ask myself." She and Tatsusa were only a fake couple, or a fake couple built on a big lie, it was better not to owe favors if she could.

Returning to Spyder Palace, Loran changed her clothes, put on some light makeup, and went to visit the consul after dressing up neatly.

The one who came to open the door was Anda, Loran was very melancholy.

To this chief consul with pointy ears, serious expression, and tough tactics, Loran had always avoided them when he could. After all, when he had just arrived in Odin, he had been punished by him with a slight trick, and he still had palpitations.

Loran hardened his head and politely stated his intention, "I have something to see the Consul."

Anda was about to refuse unceremoniously when his two pointed ears twitched and his expression changed slightly. He pulled open the door and stepped aside, "The consul is in the reading room, please come in!"

The wide, deep hall was unusually quiet.

Loran heard the footsteps of her every step, the vintage chandelier on the ceiling made everything shadowy, I don't know if it was because the cold air was turned on too much or it was a psychological effect, she felt as if she was being stared at by something, and inexplicably had a chill in her heart.

Loran accelerated her steps, fortunately, the lights suddenly became bright, dispelling a few chills.

Loran stood in front of the thick antique carved wooden door, her heart still} panicked at the thought of facing that completely temperatureless masked man alone.

She brewed her emotions for a while before smiling and knocking on the door.

The two large doors slowly opened.

Under the orange light, the Consul, dressed in black hooded robes, was scribbling away on what should be a document that had to be signed in his handwriting.

Loran stood at his back, watching him do something so popular that everything seemed normal.

"I've kept you waiting."

He put down his pen and turned around for a moment, and Loran almost thought she would see a normal face, but it was a cold, silver mask.

Loran bowed her head and curtsied, "Consul."

He stood up and raised his hand in an inviting gesture, his hand was covered in black gloves, and not an inch of skin was bare.

Loran followed him to a chair by the window.

The consul poured her a cup of tea, "It is a specialty of the Al Empire, a valuable breed whose genes are said to have been passed down from ancient Earth times."

Loran realized that only she had a cup of tea in front of her, there was nothing in front of the consul, she subconsciously glanced at his mask, there were only two holes in the area of his eyes, naturally, he couldn't drink tea.

The consul noticed her small action, "I'm sorry, there is no way to accompany you to drink tea."

"No ...... no matter." Loran's small mind was peeked through, very embarrassed and embarrassed.

She nervously picked up the tea and brought it to her mouth, when the consul suddenly reached out and took hold of her wrist, lightly touching it and quickly withdrawing it, but it was already enough to make Loran stiffen.

"It's hot." The Consul said calmly.

Loran then felt the cup in her hand rolling and busied herself by putting it down and quietly shaking her hand under the table.

The consul chucked an ice cube and handed it to her, Loraine subconsciously took it and her hot fingers finally cooled down.

The consul asked, "Why did you want to see me?"

"I'd like to apply for the Level A Physical Fitness Special."

"The job you're in has no special requirements for physical fitness, and I can't see any reason why you need to urgently improve your physical fitness. Of course, if you give me a good enough reason, I'll consider it."

"I ......"

"You only get one chance."

Loran swallowed back the falsehood that was already on his lips, and after some thought, decided to tell the truth: "For one person."

The Consul looked at her silently.

Loran said nervously, "I had promised him that when he had a mutation and lost his sanity, I would tie him up and wait for him to regain his sanity, but I was too weak to last 15 minutes. I don't want to kill him, and I don't want him to kill me, so I need to be strong enough."

"How dare a level 3a think like that?"

Loran froze and then reacted to the fact that the consul thought it was Tatsusa. Loran was a bit uneasy, but asked herself, if Chisoku was rank 3a, would she have chosen to give up?

"Due to genetic limitations, I'm afraid I don't have the means to be as strong as him, but I'll try my best to shorten the distance between us, the little gap that remains ......"

Thinking about the problems that lay between her and Qian Xu, not a little gap, Loran suddenly felt very sour, she used the identity of a princess to live, and she must also accept the constraints of this identity.

The consul put the no longer hot tea in front of her. Loran lowered her head and picked up the teacup, using the tea to hide her emotions.

The Consul's masked face was icy cold, and he asked aggressively, "What about the little gap that's left?"

"I will try very, very hard ...... If there is still a little gap left, I hope that he will also try to figure it out." She put down her teacup and looked up at the consul with a smile, pretending to be relaxed, and said, "Two people have to think of a solution together, as long as they work together, they can always overcome it."

The consul is silent.

Loran waited apprehensively, afraid of disturbing his decision, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

After a while, the consul said, "I'm sorry, I can't agree, you go back!"

Loran silently stood up and gave the consul a standard curtsy before turning to leave.

It was disappointing and hard to bear, but no one in the world was obligated to fulfill her wishes.

Loran returned to the ducal mansion listlessly and saw Tatsusa sitting on the sofa, looking at the virtual screen of his terminal frowning in contemplation as if he had just finished talking to someone.

She didn't care to ask about it, greeted him, and tried to enter the house.

Tatsusa said with a pale expression, "The Consul asked me to give you special training."

"Huh?"

"The consul said 'There are limited slots, so don't let the princess come and take up the army's resources, you come and give her special training'."

The consul left a window for her after closing the door. Loran was very surprised, "You mean the consul approved you to give me special training?"

"Right."

Loran refrained her heart from refusing, "No, I'd rather take it slow and step by step."

"Don't you want to become an A-class physical artist? Why won't you accept me giving you special training?"

"Because ......," Loran wanted to say, looking down at the ground.

Tatsuya didn't rush her and waited quietly.

After a while, Loran suddenly looked up and asked, "Do you love me?"

Tatsuha froze for a moment and said, "No love."

"I don't love you either."

"I know."

"Ten years ago, you said that we were a fake couple ......"

Chen Sha coldly rebuked, "I don't have memory loss, get to the point!"

"Let's divorce, can we?"
