Lu Rankong looked at two little boys who were eating Zikang vegetables. The thin one, who was fair and pretty, was his little playmate Shu Yu, and the taller and stronger boy next to him was his childhood self, Gu Fan.

Shu Yu stuffed the Zikang vegetable rolls he had prepared into Gu Fan's mouth, raised his head and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Gu Fan nodded hurriedly and said vaguely: "This is really delicious..."

"I told you that Zikang dishes cooked this way are delicious." Shu Yu smiled, the same smile that Lu Rankong remembered, with his eyes narrowed and his nose a little wrinkled.

His face slowly overlapped with Lan Yu's, and Lu Rankong then realized that they were so similar.

He loved to suck and nibble on that tiny bead on her lip, which made Lan Yu frown but she was reluctant to push him away.

"Xiao Fan, don't wipe the juice on your mouth after eating with your hands. I have a handkerchief here." Shu Yu frowned and handed Gu Fan a handkerchief.

"My hands are not empty. I still have to roll some Zikang vegetables for you." Gu Fan rolled the vegetables seriously.

Shu Yu picked up the handkerchief and held it to his mouth to wipe it.

The same is true when you frown, there are two small bulges between the eyebrows, like two small beans.

"Xiao Yu, you are still alive." Lu Rankong murmured, lowered his head and laughed, "So you are my Xiao Yu, you are actually Xiao Yu..."

Lan Yu didn't know what was happening in his spiritual realm yet. He had already put on his clothes and said, "What are you doing? You haven't said anything for a long time. Are you asleep? Don't sleep. It's time to deal with that Longte alien."

"Xiao Yu..." Lu Rankong suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse.

"Hmm?" Lan Yu was applying serum to herself in front of the mirror and asked vaguely, "Did you fall asleep just now?"

Even if the sky is falling, you have to take good care of your skin before that.

"Don't you remember anything about your childhood?" Lu Rankong asked.

Lan Yu paused and asked sensitively, "Why do you suddenly ask this question? Did you see something in my spiritual realm?"

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Rankong replied, "Yes, I saw us when we were little."

Lan Yu didn't notice that he used "we" and asked, "What did you see?"

Lu Rankong said nothing.

Lan Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, began to apply face cream, and said, "The welfare home I stayed in was pretty good. The director and teachers were all very nice, and I didn't suffer from cold or hunger. I lived better than many children from poor families."

"Orphanage? So you went to an orphanage later?" Lu Rankong felt as if there was a handful of sand in his mouth, astringent and bitter.

Lan Yu asked back: "What you saw is not an orphanage, then what is that place?"

Lu Rankong was silent for a few seconds: "Don't you remember what happened before you went to the welfare home?"

"I don't remember..." Lan Yu said, "I lost my memory..."

This was not an excuse. He really did not remember anything before he went to the orphanage, and he didn't know his parents or his home address.

"My parents just didn't want me. There were notices posted everywhere at that time, and the police were asking around, but no one went to the police station to take me home." Lan Yu picked up a comb and combed her hair. The face in the mirror looked calm.

Lu Rankong said softly: "Your parents both died shortly after you were born, and you were raised by your grandfather."

Lan Yu paused in combing her hair.

"So it's not that they don't want you."

Lan Yu slowly took her hand away and asked, "You said my parents died when I was very young. How did you know that? Did you see it in my spiritual realm?"

After a moment, Lu Rankong replied: "You told me that yourself."

"Did I tell you myself?"

"Yes, you told me that yourself when you were a child," said Lu Rankong.

Lan Yu paused and asked, "Did you see my childhood self in my spiritual realm?"

"Yes……"

Lan Yu looked down at the comb in her hand. "So what does he look like? Did he tell you where his home is? Who are his parents and grandfather?"

Lu Rankong replied gently, "He lives in a beautiful town. Although his family is not well off, he looks good and lives happily with his grandfather."

Lan Yu asked calmly: "What else did he tell you? Did he tell you the specific address?"

Just hold the comb tightly in your hand.

"He didn't say it, but I know." Lu Rankong said softly, "I often went to his house to play and drank the sour plum soup he made for me. He would also come to my house, and my mother would make delicious cakes for us. The two of us would catch small fish and shrimps on the beach, eat Zikang vegetables in the vegetable garden, and I would touch bird eggs in the tree, and he would look up from below. I made him a pony beast, and he patched the holes in my pants."

As Lu Rankong spoke, Lan Yu slowly raised her head and stared at herself in the mirror in confusion.

"You said, you said..." he murmured.

"Yes, I told you about my childhood playmate, his name was Shu Yu." Lu Rankong said.

Lan Yu supported herself on the washbasin with both hands, lowered her head, and let out a long sigh.

It was hard to tell whether he felt disappointed or relieved. He smiled faintly and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Let's go. I have recovered my strength. Let's go deal with the Lunte people."

Lu Rankong said in a gentle but sure tone: "I didn't lie to you. In your memory fragments, there was a time when we were little. You were Shu Yu, and you didn't die. You were alive and well, and you were by my side."

Lan Yu closed her mouth and turned to go to the guest room, opened the suitcase that Lu Rankong had placed there, and looked for the injection on the ground floor.

As he was rummaging through the clothes in the suitcase, Lu Rankong whispered in his ear: "You've always been very skillful. Now you can make gun holsters. When I was a child, you patched my pants and made sandbags for me. If you look carefully, you can't tell that you patched my pants."

Lan Yu said nothing and took out the small bag at the bottom of the suitcase, which contained the handmade materials and small tools that Lu Rankong carried with him wherever he went.

"When you were a kid, you loved me making handicrafts for you. You especially loved the unicorn made of wire. You called it Ponymon."

"That's enough. Are you done yet? One moment the Ferris wheel and the next moment Shu Yu." Lan Yu interrupted him, took out the injection from the interlayer and put it in her coat pocket. After thinking about it and feeling uneasy, she took it out again and put it in her trouser pocket. He stood up and tried to reach into his trouser pocket, but felt it was not convenient, so he put it back into his coat pocket.

"You were like this when you were a kid. I gave you a slingshot to play with, but you put it in your chest pocket, then took it out and put it around your waist. You kept tossing it around and felt uneasy no matter where you put it." Lu Rankong ignored his words and continued talking to himself.

Lan Yu slammed the suitcase shut with a clang. Lu Rankong continued, "This feeling is so wonderful. It turns out that you are Xiao Yu. You didn't die, and you grew up to be my omega."

"If you keep talking, you'll lose your omega soon." Lan Yu suddenly raised her voice, a little excited, "Shu Yu Shu Yu, I don't care whether you met Shu Yu or not, but that's not me, do you understand? It's not me..."

Lu Rankong closed his mouth and said nothing, but Lan Yu stood there without moving, his chest heaving.

After a moment, he went to the small built-in refrigerator on the wall to get a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap and drank half of the bottle in one breath. Then he went to the window, opened the tightly closed floor-to-ceiling window, and walked onto the balcony.

"The Shu Yu you met is not me." He calmed down and his voice became calm again.

Lu Rankong said carefully: "All the scenes I saw in your spiritual realm are real. They are memories buried deep in your mind and are very important to you."

He hesitated and continued, "Except for the fact that I saw you filming a movie after I passed through the tunnel, I'm not sure what that scene was about. Or was what was behind the tunnel just your imagination?"

"The Shu Yu you met is the memory of the owner of this body." Lan Yu's voice was a little tired, "So that has nothing to do with me."

"Master's memories?" Lu Rankong asked doubtfully.

Lan Yu did not answer his question and continued: "The other scenes you saw were not my imagination either."

"Um?"

"I said, the scene you saw during the filming was not my imagination, that was the real me."

Lu Rankong did not show any surprise at this time. He still said gently: "You talk, I listen."

The night breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of the surrounding trees. Lan Yu took a deep breath and said, "If I say I am not from this world, would you believe me?"

Lu Rankong seemed to be thinking seriously, and after a moment he replied honestly: "I don't believe it..."

Lan Yu looked at the lights in the distance and said, "I was put into an orphanage when I was about seven or eight years old. I was probably abandoned by my family because I suffered a brain injury and lost my memory."

Lan Yu's tone was very calm when she said this, as if she had thought about the answer many times and had already accepted this fact.

"I grew up in an orphanage and later was admitted to an ordinary university. When I was working near the school, I was discovered by an agent, who signed me up. After sending me to study acting for a few months, I started filming."

Lu Rankong did not interrupt him and listened quietly. Lan Yu continued, "Because I only trained for a few months, I was criticized a lot for my poor acting skills when I first started filming. But since I chose this path, I have to walk it well, right? So I learned while acting, and slowly, the criticisms disappeared."

"Later, I won many awards. I was filming every day without a day off, and I made a lot of money."

Lan Yu lay on the railing, one foot tapping the ground unconsciously.

"What happened next?" Lu Rankong listened carefully.

"Later on, I didn't want to make movies anymore. I wanted to quit, get married, and have children." Lan Yu raised the corners of her mouth and smiled silently.

Lu Rankong's voice became alert, "Who do you want to marry and have children with?"

Lan Yu shook her head and said, "I don't have any goals. I just really want a home. I really, really want a home."

His voice was a little low, and Lu Rankong could hear the deep loneliness he once had in it.

"Maybe it's because I've always stayed in an orphanage, and I envy others for having parents. But I won't have parents anymore, and I just want to have my own alpha and children."

Lu Rankong said softly: "Now you have achieved two-thirds of your goal. As long as we work hard, the remaining one-third will not be a problem."

Lan Yu's bitterness was swept away by his words. She couldn't help but pat the railing with her hand and said, "Don't interrupt..."

"Okay, I won't interrupt you, just continue."

"One night when I was considering retiring from the entertainment industry, I suddenly encountered an electromagnetic storm. Somehow, I was sent to this world, and when I woke up, I became K." Lan Yu bit her lip and said with some difficulty: "So I am not the original K, nor am I the Shu Yu you know."

After saying this, Lan Yu stared at the carvings on the railing. Her face seemed calm, but her fingers, which were gripping the railing, turned white from the force, revealing her inner nervousness at the moment.

"What you mean is... you didn't lose your memory? But you encountered some electromagnetic storm, came here from another world, and then entered K's body?" Lu Rankong thought for a while and tried to summarize.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

He had been hiding this matter from others, and now that he was telling it, his voice was trembling uncontrollably.

"You mean you are not Shu Yu?" Lu Rankong asked.

"no……"

"Not K either?"

"no……"

After a moment of silence, Lu Rankong said, "The memory fragments in your spiritual realm are basically consistent with what you said. But there is a question, why do you have memories of Shu Yu?"

"I said, that is the original body of this body, that is, the memory fragment left by the previous K. He is your old acquaintance." Lan Yu's voice was a little hoarse, and there was some bitterness in his mouth.

After saying this, he turned around hastily and walked back into the house. "Let's go. We can talk later. Now let's go see that Longte alien."

"No, no, this is not right." Lu Rankong murmured: "If, as you said, these are the memory fragments left by the previous K, then why didn't I see his experiences?"

"His experience?" Lan Yu paused.

Lu Rankong said doubtfully: "His growth process, the Imperial Military Academy he attended, the missions he took, the people he killed... This long experience has not left any trace in your spiritual domain. But you can even remember our military barracks and prison cells. It is impossible to have lost that part completely."

"But...but aren't Shu Yu's memories his?" Lan Yu asked.

Lu Rankong pondered for a moment and asked, "I saw Shu Yu as a child in your spiritual realm, and you have lost all your memories of that age. Don't you think there is a connection between them?"

Lan Yu said blankly: "I don't know... Are there other fragments in the spiritual realm? How about you look for others?"

Lu Rankong said: "Every time I look at you and come back, the scene will change, but it's always the same. There may be others, but I can only see these few memory fragments."

Lan Yu walked out of the house and asked, "You said Shu Yu was dead before, but now you say I am him. What's going on?"

Lu Rankong thought for a moment and said, "This is a long story. I will tell you in detail after I have dealt with this Longte alien."

"Yes, the most urgent thing is to get your body back."

Lu Rankong asked worriedly, "Can you do it alone? Do you want to notify the military to send someone?"

Lan Yu said: "He knows the former K. I want to ask him about K. And he said he wants a new identity and has a secret to tell us. So don't notify the military for now. We'll talk about it later if it doesn't work."

Lu Rankong said, "That's good, maybe we can get some information out of him. You haven't taken the stabilizer, so don't let him out. We can have visual conversations in the dark room, so lock him in there and interrogate him."

"Yeah, I know." Lan Yu said.

Lu Rankong comforted him, "But it's okay. I'm in your spiritual realm. If he dares to get in, I'll kill him inside."

Lan Yu choked up, "Then be careful not to leave that green slime in my spiritual realm."

"When he enters your spiritual realm, he is no longer physical, so he doesn't have those things."

"Since it's not real, how do you kill him?" Lan Yu asked.

"Wouldn't it be possible to kill with an injection?"

"An injection is not a physical attack, it's different from your fist, okay?"

"Everyone is a spirit body, so they can hit the target."

Lan Yu was having a heated discussion in her mind, but there was no expression on her face. She left the bedroom and came to the dark room.

"Okay, tell me how to have a video conversation with him." Lan Yu interrupted Lu Rankong's endless chatter.

"Uncle Chen used the technology and materials used to build starships. The walls can be transformed into visible transparent walls, just like what we see on starships. Go check the vase. There are buttons inside. Press the first one."

Lan Yu quickly found a row of inconspicuous small buttons inside the bottle mouth. When the first button is pressed, the wall in front of you gradually becomes transparent.

"Lu Rankong" was sitting on the sofa facing the wall. After noticing the wall changing, he suddenly stood up from the sofa and rushed towards this side.

With a bang, he hit an invisible wall and took two steps back.

"Don't fucking hit my forehead and make it bruised." Lan Yu heard Lu Rankong yell, "Are you mean? You ruined my handsome face in front of my omega."
