“Tell me something I don’t know.”
In the silent darkness, Lian Qiguang expressionlessly stared at the black figure standing opposite him. The gun in his hand shimmered with a faint silver glow.
“t-36. Major General Xiahou really is willing to spend a lot.”
Long Ying showed no fear because of the weapon in Lian Qiguang’s hand. He removed his disguise, and the once silent and cold eyes had now been replaced by bloodlust and brutality.
“To deal with a pirate leader like you, it is indeed overkill.”
“……”
“I have no malicious intentions.”
After staring at Lian Qiguang for a long while, Long Ying suppressed the violence in his eyes and silently lowered his head.
“I don’t believe you.”
“The people who should have been killed have already been killed. Those who deserved to die are already dead. My revenge has already been completed. Mo Long has already burned away in that explosion during the rebellion. The one alive now is only Long Ying.”
“If before, I still had thoughts of rebuilding my forces, but…”
Long Ying paused. He raised his head and looked at Lian Qiguang, determination filling his eyes.
“I am very satisfied with the peace I have now. I truly love your elder brother. I want a family.”
“Lian Yucheng is someone who strongly opposes war. He is content with an ordinary life and longs for a peaceful existence. If he found out your identity, I guarantee he would cut you down.”
The t-36 spun once in Lian Qiguang’s hand before disappearing back into his spatial storage. He put both hands into his pockets and spoke indifferently.
“But Mo Long is already dead. The one alive now is Long Ying, isn’t it?”
“……”
Lian Qiguang expressionlessly looked at Long Ying’s calm and open gaze. He remained silent for a long time.
After a while.
“So you are certain that I will help you hide this.”
“Not hide. Forget.”
“Suit yourself.”
Lian Qiguang turned around and left, his voice cold.
“If one day you break what you promised today, I will personally cut off your head.”
“Definitely.”
Long Ying gave a soft laugh, his expression slowly becoming firm.
“I don’t know what Lian Yucheng will do, but if Shao Xuan deceives me, I will definitely kill him.”
“……” Long Ying
(Academy)
“Ha! Vacation!”
“Hey! What are we doing? How about going on an adventure to Buta Star together?”
“Sure!!”
“Count me in! Let’s go together!”
……
No matter where or when, school vacations were always the day most worth celebrating for students.
Lian Qiguang did not have many belongings. He casually packed a few sets of clothes, stuffed them together with his computer into his spatial storage, and left his room.
Inside the living room, Mi Xiaobao and Feng Qingyang immediately stopped talking when they saw Lian Qiguang come out. They looked at him with complicated expressions.
Facing the sudden awkward silence between the two, Lian Qiguang acted as if he had not noticed. He casually shut the door behind him and walked toward the dormitory exit.
“Ku Mu!”
Seeing that Lian Qiguang was about to leave, Mi Xiaobao suddenly called out.
Lian Qiguang stopped. He slightly turned his face, his expression calm and emotionless.
“Something?”
“Um… how are you planning to spend your vacation?”
Mi Xiaobao awkwardly tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked hesitantly.
“……”
“Uh! I don’t mean anything else. I mean, if you don’t have anywhere to go, you could…”
“No need.”
Lian Qiguang expressionlessly interrupted what Mi Xiaobao had not finished saying.
“Eh?”
Mi Xiaobao froze, then his face slowly dimmed.
Looking at Mi Xiaobao’s lowered head, Lian Qiguang remained silent for a moment before adding:
“I am going to find my partner.”
After saying that, Lian Qiguang did not care about their reactions. He stepped away.
With the sound of the door closing, he disappeared from the two people’s sight.
Partner?
Oh! That was understandable after all. After all…
No.
Partner!!??
Mi Xiaobao suddenly raised his head. He and Feng Qingyang stared at each other, both seeing shock and disbelief in the other’s eyes.
‘Wife, my people will arrive in three days. Wait for me obediently.’
‘Got it.’
After replying to Xiahou Shaoxuan’s message, Lian Qiguang closed his communicator.
He raised his head and looked at the bustling streets. Then he turned and walked to the side, sitting down on the edge of the road.
Watching the various gazes of the people coming and going around him, Lian Qiguang ignored everything. His mind emptied, and he expressionlessly stared at the ground in a daze.
“Chi!”
Along with the dust kicked up, a powerful gust of wind rushed over. A luxurious and domineering aircraft stopped directly in front of Lian Qiguang.
“Hi! Xiao Guang~~”
A sweet voice sounded above his head.
Lian Qiguang raised his head and immediately saw Guan Ze smiling brightly, leaning against the window and waving at him.
Today was the day vacation started. The academy entrance was no longer as quiet as usual. Various types of hover cars, household robots, and academy students filled the area outside the school, laughing and playing around.
The aircraft that suddenly arrived was clearly not something someone from the Third District could possess. It immediately attracted countless curious gazes, and whispers spread among the crowd.
“Xiao Guang, what are you doing sitting here?”
Guan Ze, seemingly unaware that he had become the center of attention, looked at Lian Qiguang with a smile.
“Waiting for Lian Yucheng to pick me up.”
“Xiao Guang, Lian Yucheng is your older brother. You can’t call him by his name directly.”
Guan Ze shook his finger, then turned around and opened the aircraft door.
“……” Lian Qiguang
“Why are you still standing there? Get on.”
Guan Ze raised his chin, signaling him.
Lian Qiguang stood up. With an expressionless face, he walked to the aircraft and jumped inside.
The aircraft spun once under the astonished gazes of everyone present, then charged away proudly and disappeared from their sight.
“Feng Qingyang, exactly what kind of person is Ku Mu?”
Looking at the direction where the aircraft vanished, Mi Xiaobao asked blankly.
“Who cares!”
Feng Qingyang shrugged and stepped forward, putting an arm around Mi Xiaobao’s shoulder.
“If he doesn’t dislike us, then we’ll be friends with him. Why think so much when your IQ isn’t enough?”
“How about it? Do you have plans for vacation? Want to split the cost together?”
“My dad gave me two tickets for a spaceship trip. Want to go play?”
“Sure! Rich kid!”
“Quit making fun of me!”
“……”
“Your brother had something to deal with and couldn’t come, so I happened to be free and volunteered to pick you up.”
Inside the aircraft, Guan Ze opened a bottle of drink and handed it to Lian Qiguang.
“Mm.”
Lian Qiguang accepted the drink and responded blankly.
“Aren’t you curious why I’m in the Third District?”
“Not curious.”
“Then I’ll kindly tell you anyway.”
“……” Lian Qiguang
“The actors for The Smiling, Proud Wanderer have already been decided. We’re preparing to start filming. I came this time to get the costumes.”
“Dongfang Bubai.”
Lian Qiguang remembered. The last time he saw Guan Ze, he had said he came for an audition. The role he was trying for seemed to be Dongfang Bubai.
“Mm-mm-mm!”
Talking about his original profession, Guan Ze instantly became excited. His entire face lit up as he enthusiastically described how he had overcome countless challenges, fought through numerous competitors, and finally obtained the role.
Watching the endlessly talking Guan Ze, Lian Qiguang silently finished the drink in his hand, moved slightly to the side, closed his eyes, and began sleeping.
“Xiao Guang! Xiao Guang!”
Finally finishing his long tale of hardship, Guan Ze grabbed Lian Qiguang’s arm and shook it excitedly, his face flushed.
“Xiao Guang! Do you know? That costume is truly beautiful. I have never seen such a gorgeous outfit before! Just thinking about being able to wear that costume while acting makes me feel like I’m dreaming. I’m so happy.”
Costume?
Lian Qiguang’s eyebrow twitched as Guan Ze shook his arm.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Was it the illustrations from the book he gave Lian Yucheng?
“Xiao Guang, come with me when I go film. I think you will definitely like that character.”
“No.”
Expressionlessly pulling his arm away from Guan Ze’s grasp, Lian Qiguang closed his eyes again.
“I’m going to Bu Luo Star to see Shao Xuan.”
“Eh?”
This time, it was Guan Ze’s turn to be stunned.
“That brat agreed?”
“Mm.”
“Sure enough, wives are the most important.”
Guan Ze muttered.
“That brat actually dared to keep this from me. No, I have to tell Yu Chi. This is huge news.”
Lian Qiguang opened his eyes slightly and expressionlessly glanced at Guan Ze, who was muttering to himself. Then he closed his eyes again and went back to sleep.
‘Aliens really are all abnormal.’
That was the only thought in Lian Qiguang’s mind at that moment.
