Chapter 140 Pinocchio (4) "It must be because he's too good-looking..."

Mikhail was puzzled, but said nothing. Since Tirnan didn't want to bring it up, then there was no need to.

"What's so funny?" he asked curiously.

He Yuan's eyes crinkled into a smile. "I thought of my two cats at home. I wonder if they miss me."

Mikhail, with an air of certainty that seemed to come from nowhere, said, "Yes, we will. Perhaps we can bring them some gifts after the journey is over?"

He Yuan readily accepted his idea, "Okay, then could you please give me some advice?"

--May I?

Does the answer even need to be said?

Mikhail, of course, agreed.

Tirnan suddenly interrupted the conversation, "Misha, have you forgotten that our next stop is Pinocchio?"

Crane Kite certainly knew about Pinocchio, but what did that have to do with souvenirs?

Tiernan: "Pinocone is the company's prison. It's hard to say if there are any souvenirs there, but it's definitely not a safe place."

prison?

He Yuan was momentarily confused, then pulled up the information to check.

The invitation was signed "Future Star of the Event," meaning that Pinocchio is not the current Pinocchio.

He was reading so fast that he didn't notice it at all until Tirnan pointed it out.

"Since he's not settled, let's settle him down." He Yuan said as if it were a very simple matter.

He has countless names on his hands, so what else could he be afraid of?

Unless it's an extreme technological crushing victory, he's never been afraid of anyone on any other track.

Besides, if the other party uses technology, doesn't he have it himself?

Tiernan: "Our purpose in coming here is to help quell the rebellion."

He explained that the train owed the company a favor, which was why he accepted the invitation, thus drawing He Yuan's attention to himself.

Lazarina complained to Pam, "Conductor, did you see two peacocks displaying their plumage?"

Pam has eaten countless dog foods before and is very familiar with this situation.

“Avi used to be like that too, always hanging around Ayumi, asking her all sorts of questions, even though the two of them see each other every day!” Pam’s words seemed to carry a hint of dissatisfaction.

But judging from his expression, he doesn't seem angry.

Lazarina wrapped her arms around the train conductor's ear. "But the conductor should be happy, right? They didn't ignore you, did they?"

Pam nodded, "Yes! A-Yuan always makes a portion of her desserts for Pam, and A-Vi's fried chicken is also made by Pam!"

Although they are often sticking together, they never ignore Pam. Often, one of them, Heyuan or Akivili, will hug her or arrange a seat for her.

Of course, some of the more intimate actions would not be shown to Pam.

Even if the train conductor and the Starry Sky Train are the same age, he looks like a small animal, and he would feel very guilty doing these things in front of Pam.

Lazarina exclaimed, "The Pioneer God's fried chicken! I've never even tried it before. Pam doesn't eat it every day, does she? Otherwise, her stomach will be churning—"

The train conductor hurriedly looked down, and after making sure that all his buttons were fastened and there was still room for them, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Pam won't get fat."

"However, if passenger Lazarina wants fried chicken, it's best to wait another three days. Your stomach has been hungry for too long and can't eat anything too greasy!"

He Yuan happened to walk over. "It can't be too greasy... Are you guys talking about tonight's dinner?"

He had just finished teasing the duo and came to play with Pam.

A new journey, new characters, new maps... it sounds like so much fun!

Pinocchio's current situation, still involving prison, did indeed shock him, but it also piqued his interest.

After all, if Crane could experience a life of luxury and extravagance, he could go to Apsseron, but prisons... he had only been to the Prison of Confinement so far.

When unrest occurs on a planet that serves as a prison, it can only be due to a prisoner rebellion.

Just now, Tirnan also gave a detailed account of the situation.

"The leader of the prisoners is a werewolf named Hanunu. The file says he orchestrated a major upheaval in the Montor system and was sentenced to life imprisonment by the company."

He Yuan commented: "That person is indeed a talent."

No wonder they can cause trouble right under the company's nose.

But the company should be able to launch a fleet, right? A prison is nothing to a company that already possesses various weapons.

"The company was held back by the other side, so we could only rely on past connections to ask for help."

Crane Kite: "Because of the star core?"

Star cores are creations of destruction; he had seen one in Yalilo and even helped seal it away.

But even a single star core shouldn't be enough, unless there are many star cores.

“The star core can block the orbits laid by Akivili. Previously, the company directly followed Akivili’s route without much concern. Now that the orbits are blocked, we either need to solve the star core problem or lay our own orbits,” Tiernan said.

He Yuan observed him for a while and suddenly felt that his personality was very similar to Dan Heng's.

—It was Danheng on the train.

Speaking of Danheng, the composition and personalities of the trio on the train seven hundred years later seem quite similar to those of today?

The girl named March 7th was full of Fu Li's elements, almost revealing her relationship with her memories.

Danheng is steady and composed, while Qiong... Qiong is cheerful. They may not be exactly the same, but they do share some similarities.

Good news: He knows how to quickly increase his favorability.

Bad news: Affection level is basically maxed out.

Compared to the three people on the Immortal Boat, these two are practically useless in terms of speed.

But despite having a lot of goodwill towards her, her behavior didn't change much.

Is there some concern? Or is it just that you haven't figured it out yet?

He Yuan had only ever seen people who directly expressed their love when they were already very affectionate—like Luo Sigu Mu. She had never seen anyone who hid their feelings—except for Ying Xing. Ying Xing didn't say he loved her, but he was always there for her, which was almost the same as saying he liked her.

This is the first time I've met a hot-blooded straight man (in his own opinion) and a reserved wanderer.

As expected, everything is new with new characters, which is fun.

He Yuan chatted with them casually for a while, watching their heart rates jump up and down. After they had had their fun, they came to find Pam.

I happened to overhear a discussion about the food.

“If Miss Lazarina would prefer a light meal—” Crane Kite crouched down to speak with Pam, “Pam, would you mind if I helped you prepare dinner?”

"It's been a long time. I wonder if our understanding is still there?"

Ternan was puzzled when he heard him speak.

According to his speculation, He Yuan should not have experienced those things at this time, right?

He Yuan didn't actually experience it, but players have the all-powerful save file.

He sorted out the questions and, taking advantage of Pam's lack of vigilance, brought them up in a different way, easily extracting information from her.

Lazarina had no objections.

The food on the train was always excellent. It was said that Pam had inherited the culinary skills of the two train owners, and the food she made was almost better than that of restaurants outside. It could even rival the company's five-star hotels only in terms of ingredients.

With two top chefs cooking, what opinions could she possibly have?

Pam said happily, "Of course I don't mind Pam!"

He excitedly rushed into He Yuan's arms and raised his hand to take hers. "However, since He Yuan has just returned to the train, some facilities have been moved. Let the train conductor take you there!"

The two peacocks went to the kitchen happily, leaving behind two peacocks that failed to display their plumage.

Just as Lazarina was about to make a joke, she heard Mikhail say, "Tirnan, you're acting strange today?"

“What’s wrong?” Lazarina asked.

Isn't this a normal courtship behavior—showing off your strengths in front of someone you like?

It's strange that someone like Mikhail talks about his dark childhood history, isn't it?

Mikhail said in a "shocked" tone, "He usually doesn't like to talk to strangers, but today he actually chatted for half a day with someone he had only known for a few minutes!"

The Sea Patrol Rangers are a group that sounds cool, just like the public's impression of the Memory Masters is that they are mysterious.

However, Tirnan's coolness was only superficial. After getting to know him, Mikhail discovered that this guy was just a quiet person when talking to outsiders, but he was actually quite talkative when chatting with them.

but!

Today's Tiernan is very different.

He actually chatted with He Yuan for so long!

Mikhail didn't understand.

Lazarina: "..."

She couldn't understand how someone dressed so gentlemanly could have such a personality.

"What do you think of that Mr. Crane Kite?" Lazarina asked tentatively.

Mikhail: "He's a very handsome and kind person. I'm looking forward to traveling with him!"

Tiernan pulled his hat down low to hide his smile.

Lazarina understood perfectly—Mikhail was completely clueless!

What's going on?!

How could someone in their twenties—how could they have no concept of liking someone?!

Undeterred, she asked, "So how did you feel when you saw him?"

Speaking of this, Mikhail had a question.

"I feel my heart beating very fast, but I don't know why. Could it be because I drank too much coffee just now?"

Lazarina reminded him, "A fast heartbeat could also be due to other reasons. Think about how you feel."

Mikhail pondered for a long time, then slapped his forehead and said, "I know!"

Could it be that—?

Tirnan looked over.

To be honest, it's quite amusing to see Mikhail, an emotional idiot, finally understand things.

“It must be because he’s too good-looking!” Mikhail declared confidently. “I read a book before that said seeing beautiful people causes physiological symptoms like a racing heart, which perfectly describes me!”

Lazarina's hopes were dashed.

She was hoping to see Mikhail finally figure things out and compete with Tirnan, but they couldn't even find a track.

Tirnan looked away and began searching for information about Crane Kite on his own.

The train would stop in Luofu for a few more days, so he got off with his pass, visited a few shops, and bought some things before returning.

"Hairy crabs from Lin Yuan Jing, milk tea from the Everlasting Marquis, and lotus root cake!"

Looking at the food that Tirnan brought back, He Yuan exclaimed in amazement, "How did you find all these shops!"

These are his favorite restaurants!

Did Tirnan just come and buy them one by one like that? And he even managed to buy them!

He Yuan herself has a habit of sharing her life, and these places have long been in high demand through invisible live-streaming sales.

How could Tielnan, a non-local of Xianzhou, manage to steal it?

Information is easy to find, but the action and methods used... He Yuan really has to admire them.

Faced with the young man's surprised and delighted gaze, Tirnan simply lowered his hat brim and said in a relaxed tone, "It's alright. I just got off the bus and wandered around, and I came across a video about you, so I went to queue up and give it a try."

"I hope you don't mind my abruptness."

He spoke so casually, as if he weren't the one who used his wealth and superpowers to pave the way.

He Yuan moved a little closer to him. "Why would I mind?"

"However, in return, is there anything you'd like to eat? I can cook something special for you."

The young man was dressed in his usual clothes, no different from when they parted.

Except for that apron—a pink apron with a cartoon Pam pattern and pink and white lace trim.

The straps were tightly wrapped around her waist, and when Tirnan reached out to grab them, she felt she could easily wrap her arms around them.

Moreover, the young man was holding a round plate.

Without the arms to cover it, the side profile is almost completely exposed—of course, this is the clothed version.

But this kind of attire easily makes people think of what he would look like wearing only an apron.

Add to that the upward gaze, the surprised angle, and the expression...

Tirnan almost mistook Crane for his wife, while his wife was asking him what he wanted for dinner.

That married woman's expression gave Tirnan a certain feeling—

He had the illusion that if he suggested that He Yuan should only wear an apron, the other party would agree.

No, that's impossible!!!

Tiernan, you need to calm down. He's a highly decorated Yunqi Valiant Guard; how could he possibly agree to such an outrageous demand so easily!

The author's note: To reiterate, these three authors only speculated and created their works based on the texts they saw, and everything they did was for the sake of the plot.

I looked up some information about Hanunu and decided to include her in the whole family bucket [winking emoji].

Werewolf, knot formed, hehe
