Slowly drawing inwards, until finally, she embraced herself.
AN94 was stunned at first, then her eyes suddenly softened, and she lowered her head to press her face against Jiaen's.
Even the AK12 lying on the ground leaned over, looking at the unusually tense atmosphere of 94.
......
"It seems that Jia En isn't very good at talking."
Ying Que leaned close to Luo Fan's ear and whispered.
Luo Fan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, she was abducted by human traffickers when she was a child and was abused, so, you know..."
Umbrella, human traffickers, none of them are good people, it's just that Garen was targeted by the more despicable one.
"Really? No wonder..."
Yingque knew what to do.
She casually took a chocolate from the bedside table, tore open the wrapper, and handed it to Jiaen.
"Try this, it's delicious."
Yingque's temperament and appearance are the kind that make people feel very friendly, but Jiaen seems to have doubts about the black thing in her hand.
Tsk, does this chocolate look a bit like the medicine Umbrella gave her...?
However, Jia En still ate it.
This woman looks so beautiful, and she's with Mr. Luo, she definitely wouldn't harm me...
"How about it?"
"Hmm... I want to eat this again. This must be the delicious flavor that Mr. Luo said it was?"
You have to try it to know for sure.
"Ah, right, do you get the idea now?"
"Um......."
Jiaen's lips were moving around, as if she wanted every bit of chocolate residue between her lips and teeth to roll down her throat with her saliva.
"There's still plenty here, enough for you to eat!"
Yingque opened two more chocolates and handed them to Jiaen.
I thought she would eat both of them at once, but after taking the chocolates, she didn't put them in her mouth immediately. Instead, she held one of them up and brought it to AN94's mouth.
"Sister, you should eat too..."
"Ah good."
AN94 was a beat slow to react again, but still managed to open her mouth and eat the chocolate.
AN94 likes sweets, a fact she rarely lets others know.
But now, everyone here knows, except for Jia'en and Ying Que...
Even though neither of them can speak, it seems that this combination is the one that gets along exceptionally well.
If there are no combat missions, it feels like AN94 can take care of Jia En most of the time, although Jia En might be a bit more clingy...
401 Preparing to return to China
Having woken up too early, Luo Fan decided to sleep a little longer with Jia En, since they hadn't really fallen asleep until the early hours of the morning last night.
AK12 and AN94 left first, as they had other things to do. However, AN94 patted Jia En's head for a while before reluctantly leaving the room. Regardless of their relationship, Jia En's hair did feel great to the touch after being cleaned.
"If you're still sleeping, then I'll keep it too."
Yingque did not leave, but chose to stay in the room and lie down next to Luofan.
"You must have gone to bed early, are you still sleepy?"
"I have trouble sleeping when I miss you, and sometimes I even drink alcohol to help me sleep. By the way, that fruit wine they make is really good!"
It seems that Yingque is not here to sleep. As long as Luo Fan is asleep, she doesn't seem to feel bored even if she lies blankly next to him.
"Um......"
Luo Fan didn't know what to say. He and Jia En wrapped themselves in the blanket and stared at the girl in front of them without moving.
"Que'er?"
"Ok?"
Why do your eyes always look so bright and sparkly?
Luo Fan really thought so. Ying Que's eyes always seemed to be shining. Was it because her pupil color was fluorescent yellow?
"I don't know, my classmate sometimes says that too, her eyes always seem to light up when she looks at me..."
She seemed to be genuinely pondering the reasons behind it, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, her beautiful brows furrowed together.
Regardless, this also became one of the reasons why Luo Fan liked Yingque. Or rather, it was already a perfect score, so the extra points didn't matter at all; it just made the overall evaluation higher than before.
How could he like her so much...?
In every respect, Luo Fan and Ying Que seem to be completely opposite. Their personalities, words and deeds, hobbies and interests are almost incompatible. Yet, his love for her is inexplicable. But love often doesn't need so many reasons. The misty mountains are nothing special. Do we really need to analyze every beautiful scene?
The same goes for Yingque; their love doesn't need many words to describe it, just the simplest sentence.
A banished immortal descends to earth; fullness and emptiness are natural occurrences.
Everyone understands and interprets love differently, but for Luo Fan, the person he loves doesn't need to have strong abilities or a decisive personality. They can have those qualities, but they are not necessary.
Ability does not affect the degree of love. If ability affects one's feelings for a lover, is it love or an evaluation of a subordinate's usefulness?
Rather, it is precisely Yingque's kindness that truly attracts Luo Fan, something he himself finds difficult to possess.
Just like her name, Yingque, complemented him and became an indispensable presence on his path forward. Throughout his life, he felt as if he had found a treasure because of her presence.
......
"Luo Fan?"
Yingque asked.
"what happened?"
He responded in a low voice.
She suddenly became shy: "Are you planning... uh, going back to China?"
"Not yet, why do you ask?"
He doesn't have a reason to go back for the time being. Although he needs to take a break, he also needs to prepare for welcoming new friends.
After all, they've gotten involved in everything except organized crime, although what Mrs. Grey is about to do is pretty shady...
After a brief internal struggle, Yingque suddenly turned around.
Luo Fan was startled...
"Well, uh, I'd like to go back to China with you to meet my mom, and then... meet my classmates or something, and, by the way, uh, um..."
"Oh, so why are you so nervous?"
"???"
So, this is such a big deal, I've been so nervous all day waiting for you to come back, and you just reacted so casually?
Ying Que stared wide-eyed, her face full of confusion, but Luo Fan seemed to have anticipated her thoughts and simply maintained a smile.
"Why not go back? We're still on holiday, so it's a good opportunity to go back and take a trip."
To be honest, Luo Fan also really wanted to go back and see what Ying Que's "home" was like. Luo Fan knew nothing about her situation after she came to this world, and now she would have the opportunity to see some things that she didn't know back then.
Most importantly, things will only get busier after a while. He'll have to go back to the quarantine zone, and once Tom arrives, even more people will have to accompany him on his missions. Mrs. Grey's research is likely already underway, and she'll need people to go with her as well. There probably won't be many people left to stay by Ying Que's side...
Therefore, within the limited time available, Luo Fan was naturally willing to continue accompanying her and helping her do what she wanted to do.
Going out for some alone time as a couple is definitely no problem.
So when do we set off?
Luo Fan pinched Ying Que's nose, causing Ying Que to close her eyes uncomfortably.
She muttered, "Uh, I'm actually fine, I can go tomorrow, but you just got back, won't you feel tired going now?"
"I'm not tired. How can I be tired after a good night's sleep? Anyway, I'm just going out for a meeting, I won't be moving around much."
Yeah, right... I was basically running the whole time.
However, after taking Rosalia's medicine and resting for a while, I felt pretty good, and going out for a bit didn't really have any effect.
"Then...tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow it is then, but only the two of us can go. As for the others... they have some things to do."
Actually, I'm still worried about the fact that the girls are humanoid. Although there shouldn't be any problem with security checks, with such a large outbreak in White Eagle, medical examinations are inevitable, which might make things more difficult for the girls.
"Okay, I'll go pack my things. You can keep sleeping. I'm off!"
They had just been planning to sleep together, but Yingque suddenly jumped off the bed like an action actor, and the impact of her landing made Jiaen momentarily suspended in mid-air.
"Don't let him fall."
"It's fine!"
A short while later, Yingque began taking out a change of clothes from the wardrobe and started packing her suitcase.
There's no need to worry too much about the situation here, since things have been quite peaceful lately. We can just temporarily entrust Jiaen to AN94 and Helian.
......
I've heard Yingque describe how good her classmates are to her, and how good their relationship is. I'm quite looking forward to seeing what kind of people Yingque has made friends with in the past.
It's not hard to believe. Given Yingque's personality, she would likely be bullied frequently if her friends weren't supportive enough. But judging from her current situation, things must be quite good.
"Eh? Where are my clothes?"
.......
Luo Fan secretly glanced down at Jia En.
......
402 Commander is not home
"Yingque and I have gone on a trip, don't worry. I have five cards on my bedside table, each worth $50,000. I've also deposited $100,000 into my AR15 account. Spend as you see fit, but don't call me later to tell me you've spent it all. Try not to cause any trouble during this time. If Rosalia or Shina comes, tell them I won't be back for a while. Remember to take good care of Jiaen, OK, Run!"
......
"So, the Commander and Miss Yingque secretly ran away, leaving a girl here behind?"
AR15 frowned, glanced at the note in her hand, then at Jiaen on the sofa. Jiaen was sitting in AN94's arms, holding a funny doll. Her long bangs covered half of her eyes, and it was hard to tell what she was feeling at that moment.
Helian came out of the kitchen with a cup of hot tea, shaking her head and saying, "Isn't this what he likes to do? But leaving a child here is a first for me. It's hard not to suspect that he's having an affair behind our backs."
"I don't think... I don't think the Commander would have the guts, otherwise..."
"Of course he wouldn't dare. If he were to cheat on me, he could just wait to use my particle cannon as a crutch for the rest of his life."
The Dreamer abruptly interrupted 40's speculation, his increasingly distorted expression constantly hinting at the presence of danger.
Now, apart from SAT8 and his agent going to make purchases, and Mrs. Gray, Pascal, and several of Paradis's people being busy at the company, most people are crammed into the living room, staring at the note that still retains the warmth of the air conditioner.
For some reason, MDR was here too, except she had a laptop draped over her lap. Thanks to the air conditioning and her own adaptability, she was only wearing a purple short-sleeved shirt and shorts with the straps showing, and the words "MDR, fxxk AME!" were printed on them.
It looks like she's already bought a set of her own fan merchandise...
"Sigh, so what if it's a good time? Why not take advantage of this time to have some fun? How much did the commander leave us? 350,000 dollars. We should hurry up and have some fun, because we'll only be busier when the commander comes back, and we probably won't have much time to play."
"What are you talking about?! Your job is to have fun! And you're offering advice?!"
The alchemist wished he could kick the laptop off her lap.
But MDR went even further, jumping onto the sofa and yelling, "Hey! Someone's getting impatient! I make money playing games, but what about you? You're living off the Commander, you must drink thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars worth of alcohol a week!"
"You! You damned!"
This barrage of attacks hit all three old drunks in the bar. The alchemist grabbed a bottle and was about to rush in, but was stopped by the architect and the metrologist.
M16 remained remarkably calm, after all, she had nothing to argue about. Moreover, the wine she drank was far more expensive than that of the executioners, and her expenses were much higher. Although money wasn't an issue, it was an undeniable fact that they didn't earn their own income.
Don't be fooled by MDR spending all day holed up in her fourth-floor room. She can earn thousands of dollars a day just from live streaming. It's not just her strong ability to create entertaining content, but also her control over internet content and her operational capabilities in the tertiary sector. Cyber Media is already taking shape, and if she continues, her income will only rise.
