The three of them had never hidden anything from each other, whether it was a small matter or a big one. Xie Langhuan had just been thinking about how to phrase it, but now she pursed her lips and said, "I haven't figured it out yet."
Seeing that both of them looked like they had "figured it out," she coughed lightly again and finished telling the whole truth: "About half a year ago, I discovered that Wolf, who was by my side, might like me."
Then, recently, I've been thinking about him... I'm not sure if what I feel for him is love, so I want to figure out if I should accept being with him.
Hu Tiantian's mouth opened into an "O" shape.
Tao Yao frowned.
Neither of them spoke.
After a long while, Xie Langhuan broke the silence again: "Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time. For the past six months, I've pretended not to notice it, but recently I've discovered that Langxing may have some concerns and is planning to leave."
However, I seem to have a hard time accepting not having him by my side, so I want to try being with him and see if I can accept the price I have to pay to be with him.
Hu Tiantian couldn't close her mouth.
Tao Yao frowned even more.
Another silence followed.
Xie Langhuan sighed: "I know you're worried about me, but if I really am... a love-struck person, and if the object of my affection is Langxing, anyway, thinking about the possibility of us being together in the future, I don't seem to have any regrets right now."
“Darling,” Tao Yao finally spoke, her voice slightly hoarse, “the biggest problem with Wolfwalker is that he is a wolf-beastman.”
The Alliance is not only composed of humans; in interstellar space, their spaceships have achieved space-folding and warp-through capabilities, discovering not only Zerg evolved beasts but also Orks.
These orcs can transform into human form, but they will retain some of the orc-specific characteristics.
How could humans, who consider themselves superior animals, possibly be equal to beastmen, who have animalistic characteristics?
Within the Alliance, orcs hold a far lower status than humans; even ordinary people are treated much better than an orc.
Most orcs are placed on remote border planets due to safety concerns about potential riots. The number of orcs on the Imperial Star is very small, and they are only assigned to the lowest-level jobs.
Wolf Walker is a wolf-beastman who serves as Xie Langhuan's bodyguard.
Falling in love with a humble bodyguard sounds touching and heartwarming, but what about in real life?
It's not much different for someone like Xie Langhuan to marry Lang Xing than for those rich girls in TV dramas to marry some phoenix man.
Hu Tiantian nodded haphazardly: "Langhuan, you need to think this through. If you marry a beastman, you'll have to give up your residency on the Imperial Star. You can only apply to stay on the Imperial Star for a month every five years at most. How... how are we supposed to play together after that..."
She was almost in tears.
The Alliance, especially the Imperial Star, is very harsh on orcs, treating them poorly and showing them no dignity whatsoever.
Xie Langhuan is such a proud person. If she marries a wolf-beastman, won't she be laughed at by all the ugly women in the circle? Also, how will Langhuan make a living? By hunting with wolves?
Or is Lang Xing willing to be supported by Lang Huan? Can Lang Huan still be a mecha pilot?
After thinking through each question, Hu Tiantian really cried.
This is just what she could think of. She didn't even consider the various daily necessities and the current hardships. She didn't know how much harder it would be in the future.
Tao Yao climbed over the railing of her bed, reached out and grasped Hu Tiantian's hand tightly: "Tianbao, Langhuan hasn't been confirmed yet, let's not panic. The problems you're thinking about haven't even occurred yet, so try to get them out of your mind first..."
Hu Tiantian hiccuped and cried, "Yaoyao, you know what I'm thinking, right?"
“Yes, yes, I think the same thing as you.” Tao Yao nodded. “We think the same thing.”
"Waaaaah..."
Xie Langhuan: "..."
Xie Langhuan sighed, stepped over, and sat down with the two of them: "Okay, I feel guilty."
Tao Yao also let out a heavy sigh.
She had been with Shu Yan since childhood, and her family background, wealth, ability, and appearance were all a perfect match for him. Even their relationship developed naturally without any setbacks. It could be said that she was one of the happiest people in the entire league, so she didn't know how to advise her friend.
She knew even better that Langhuan was a person with strong self-control and execution ability. Since she said she wanted to be with Langxing today, she must have a complete plan.
The three sat in silence, while a conversation requesting instructions came through the personal terminal in the private room.
The team stylist I had arranged asked if we could start makeup and styling now, since it was a three-person rotation, so we needed to start earlier.
Now, Tao Yao could sleep without being unable to. She clicked the button and opened the door to let the stylist in.
*****
Luo Zilin took Wang Xiaoqi onto the bus. Wang Xiaoqi was in a daze and was being half-supported by Luo Zilin.
Luo Zilin leaned back in the flying car seat, excitedly reviewing the scene of her meeting with the Fifth Prince Si Yi at the combat arena.
The Fifth Prince must have already fallen under her bewitching power.
Although she is an A-level ability user, her more than 100 years of experience have given her incredibly skilled techniques, making it easy for her to defeat the Fifth Prince, who currently has little experience in using his abilities.
If she could attend the palace banquet tonight and use her bewitching ability on the Fifth Prince again, she would have a much better chance of being with him in the future.
Luo Zilin was eager to try.
However, I was not allowed to attend this banquet.
Luo Zilin sighed again.
Thinking that tomorrow was her first day of military academy registration, she perked up again.
Because of her memories from her previous life, she knew that the Fifth Prince's university was the Empire's top military academy. Therefore, after accepting that she would live a different life in this second life, she used her proficiency in her special abilities to successfully bewitch an examiner, causing her grades to deviate slightly, and thus successfully entered the Empire's top military academy.
This was something she wouldn't have dared to do or could never have succeeded at at 18 in her previous life, but in this life she tried it and succeeded!
Luo Zilin's successful promotion to high school gave her great confidence. After much deliberation, she came to the entrance of the training hall today to try her luck.
Previously, she thought that even if she couldn't use her special abilities on the Fifth Prince, it would be good to actually see the person she had loved in her heart for over 100 years.
Judging from today's progress, it seems that all the luck is on her side.
Looking out the window at the increasingly bustling streets.
Luo Zilin felt her heartbeat still hadn't calmed down. She slowly exhaled, and in the bus filled with all sorts of smells, she seemed to smell something different and refreshing.
Soon, she might also be able to settle down on such a prosperous planet, live in a big house, drive a flying car, frequent high-end places, eat delicacies, and wear high-end cotton clothes.
