Elvia and the woman had very sharp hearing and noticed Zhou Zhou almost the moment he appeared.
The hug between the two only lasted for a moment, and then they turned their heads at the same time to look at Zhou Zhou who was not far away.
"Sorry to bother you, I didn't mean to peek!"
Before Elvia could explain anything, Zhou Zhou immediately apologized, covered his eyes with his hands, turned around and ran away, and soon disappeared.
"Who is that?" The woman looked at the direction where Zhou Zhou disappeared with interest, then turned around and asked Elvia.
Before Alvia could reply, she teased, "Have you finally found a partner? I thought you were going to be alone until you grow old."
Alvia frowned and looked at Zhou Zhou's expression just now. He obviously misunderstood something. He wanted to chase him and explain immediately, but rationally he still needed to accompany this elder whom he hadn't seen for a long time and couldn't leave him alone.
Yes, this beautiful woman who looks very young and heroic is actually Elvia’s elder. Although she looks young and beautiful, she is actually over 50 years old.
He is also one of the few remaining members of the royal family.
This woman named Ailange should be Elvia's aunt in terms of seniority. She left the royal family after she became an adult and went on adventures in various interstellar spaces. It has been more than ten years since she last came back.
"Aren't you going to explain?"
Alvia hesitated for a moment, but still didn't go.
"He only considers me a friend." Elvia's voice was flat, but Ailange could still hear the aggrieved emotion from his cold face.
"Hahahahahaha." The eldest princess of the royal family immediately burst into laughter, mocking her nephew.
And Alvia just looked at her in silence.
"You really are..." Ailange patted his shoulder. Although she didn't say anything unpleasant, the sympathy in her eyes was too obvious and Alvia didn't want to see it.
"You have a good eye, much better than your father. When can you introduce me to him?"
This accident actually made the two aunt and niece, who had not seen each other for many years and were almost strangers, become familiar with each other.
"Yeah." Alvia responded.
Ailange glanced at him. She felt that Elvia was just being perfunctory with her.
In fact, Elvia really didn't want to introduce them. He wanted to hide Zhou Zhou alone. After all, Zhou Zhou's view on love was different from that of ordinary people, and his attitude towards women was obviously much more tolerant and kinder than that of men.
This royal princess was a famous beauty back then. Although her leaving the royal family to become an interstellar explorer surprised many people, it is undeniable that Ailange is very attractive, both in terms of appearance and free and easy temperament.
He didn't want to add any more rivals in love.
Especially when the object is one's aunt.
Ailangge didn't say anything about his perfunctory response. After all, she would be staying in the palace recently and there would always be a chance for her to see the little guy again.
Zhou Zhou ran back to his home in the game and buried himself in the quilt.
Since being able to freely enter and exit the game and the real world through the bracelet, although both of them are very busy, Zhou Zhou still comes out occasionally to take a look.
Even other people in the palace were used to Zhou Zhou appearing out of nowhere sometimes.
Every time she came out before, Elvia was either in the bedroom or working, so Zhou Zhou didn't expect to see such a scene this time.
After just going around in the love game with Zeus, Zhou Zhou already knew that many couples would hug.
So that's Al's...
But friends also hug each other.
He and Al had hugged each other several times, although there was always a reason each time. Either Al was saving him, or... well, it seemed like Al was saving him every time.
From the quick glance just now, Zhou Zhou also saw clearly that the girl was very beautiful and looked a good match for Al.
Zhou Zhou hugged the teddy bear, hid under the quilt, and thought while pinching the teddy bear's furry palms.
It took me a long time to realize why he was hiding in bed. And why did you run then?
Zhou Zhou got up from the bed, with his messy hair, and lowered his head in thought.
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason, which made me even more annoyed.
After rolling a few more times on the bed, Zhou Zhou stood up, put the teddy bear back on the bed, and began to tidy up the bed that he had messed up.
But in the process of tidying up, looking at the smiling fat face of the little bear, he thought of something, tapped the bear's nose a few times, and then slowly walked out of the bedroom.
Little Bear:?
Zhou Zhou: Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, let’s go design a new copy.
Alvia accompanied his aunt to dinner in the palace. Although Alvia remained expressionless throughout the meal, Ailange still noticed his absent-mindedness. However, he did not intend to let him leave, but continued to ask questions about topics related to Zhou Zhou.
"What kind of man is he?"
Alvia came back to his senses and said thoughtfully, "A very good person."
Ailan Ge: “…Gone?”
“No more.”
"So how old is he this year?"
"I'm an adult now."
No matter how Ailange asked, Elvia remained vigilant and refused to reveal any information about Zhou Zhou.
Until the end of the meal, Ailangge didn't ask anything.
She was a little dissatisfied. After all, this was a very important matter, but Alvia didn't tell her anything. Not knowing that he was seen as a potential love rival, Alange only felt that Elvia was not as cute as she was when she was a child.
"Okay, okay, I won't waste your time. I'll go back and rest first."
Alvia stood up slowly and said, "Then I'll have someone take you back to the palace. The palace you once lived in has been preserved without any changes."
The former eldest princess of the empire showed a nostalgic look. Every time she came back, she would stay for a few days before starting her next journey. But now, the former residence has not changed at all, but the people who once lived here have left one by one.
"Okay, you don't have to send me off. Go explain to your little cutie. I know the way and can fly there myself."
Ailange waved to Elvia and strode away in the direction where the aircraft was parked.
Alvia watched her aunt leave. In fact, they didn't interact much many years ago, but Ailange and he were the only remaining members of the royal family. The eldest princess, who was obsessed with interstellar exploration, was once the most popular candidate for the throne. She was not only beautiful and intelligent, but also had extremely high mental strength.
However, she started pursuing her dream as soon as she came of age, but her younger brother who took the throne threw the empire into chaos. It is not known whether the princess ever regretted it. After all, she was once the closest to the throne, and if it were her, perhaps those things that happened later would not have happened.
The last time she came back, she wanted to visit her relatives after a long absence, but her brother, who was the emperor, saw her as a threat and was extremely wary of her, so she hasn't been back for so many years.
Many people even thought that this world-famous princess was dead.
This time she came back just on a whim to see her nephew and her former home.
It was not until Ailange boarded his aircraft that Elvia hurriedly walked towards the bedroom.
On the way, he kept thinking about how to explain to Zhou Zhou. However, the matter itself was a misunderstanding. He was just an elder. As long as he told Zhou Zhou, he would definitely not mind.
Moreover, Zhou Zhou has always regarded him as a friend. Even if there was a misunderstanding, according to his personality, he would not only not be angry, but would also wish him a happy marriage.
Thinking of this, Alvia's pace became slower and slower.
Ryan inspected the palace everywhere, but when he was about to reach His Majesty's bedroom, he found His Majesty sitting in a corridor, covering his forehead with one hand and looking like he had a severe headache.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?" Ryan asked in surprise.
"No, nothing." Elvia put down his hand and continued walking towards the bedroom. Regardless of whether Zhou Zhou would misunderstand or not, he still had to make it clear and not let him have any wild thoughts.
But when he arrived at Zhou Zhou's house, he found that Zhou Zhou was working seriously.
Zhou Zhou opened permissions to Elvia and Zeus, but as Zeus was the game administrator, he could enter and exit anywhere as long as he wanted. According to this statement, Zhou Zhou actually only opened permissions to Elvia, and he could enter and exit his home at will without getting permission.
When Alvia came in, he found Zhou Zhou working seriously in the study. He knew that he was busy with the new copy these two days, but seeing Zhou Zhou's focused look, he sighed secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, I wasn't bothered by this matter.
He was overthinking it.
For some reason, Zhou Zhou was so focused on the copy design today that it took him a long time to notice Elvia standing at the door of the study.
"You're here." Zhou Zhou put down the work in his hands and said with a smile.
"Um."
The two of them suddenly stopped talking. Alvia was still immersed in the sadness that Zhou Zhou didn't care about him at all. Although he had known about this a long time ago, he still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. People who are in love may be more emotional and more likely to become anxious and worried. Especially when she saw Zhou Zhou's nonchalant look, she felt it was ridiculous for her to rush over to explain.
What's going on? Why does it feel like the air is frozen? Even Zhou Zhou, who was usually slow to sense the atmosphere, noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
Zhou Zhou opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
Although Elvia talked more in front of Zhou Zhou, it was usually Zhou Zhou who started the conversation or took the lead. Now he suddenly fell silent, and the relationship between the two of them became so silent.
"What did you come here to talk to me about?" In the end, it was Elvia who asked first. He was busy with the visit during this period, so Zhou Zhou didn't come to see him very often. Every time he came, it was because he had something to ask him. This time he left in a hurry and didn't have time to ask him what the matter was.
"Hmm? Nothing, I just thought of you and wanted to see what you were doing?" Zhou Zhou lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the lamp on the desk.
Zhou Zhou's words were still as seductive as ever. Under normal circumstances, Elvia would have been delighted to hear these words. However, now, as he looked at Zhou Zhou's wandering eyes, he realized at a glance that he was lying.
After all, Zhou Zhou really can't lie, and every time he lies his little movements are very obvious, making it hard for people not to notice.
"If there's anything you need to ask or help with, I'm available."
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhou Zhou shook his head frantically.
"By the way, the person you saw just now." Even if Zhou Zhou didn't care, Elvia would never let any misunderstandings arise between them. "That person is my aunt."
"Hey?" Zhou Zhou opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Aunt?"
"Yes, that's my aunt, my father's sister. The last time we met was more than ten years ago."
Zhou Zhou was indeed surprised. After all, the woman did not look very old, and many people even agreed that she was the same age as Elvia.
"But my aunt looks very young and beautiful." That's why he made a mistake. He didn't expect that Al's aunt was so young.
Alarm bells immediately rang in Elvia's heart: "She just looks young, she is actually over 50 years old." In fact, due to people's current physical fitness and technological development, everyone ages more slowly. However, Ailange has been able to maintain her appearance unchanged for decades, which is not only due to her mentality, but also to her strong mental strength.
"Wow, she can still be so beautiful even in her fifties." Zhou Zhou praised sincerely.
Alvia: "She will only stay for a few days this time and then leave."
For some reason, the more he talked, the more Zhou Zhou seemed to be interested in Ailange. Elvia made a prompt decision and immediately changed the subject.
"Now all preparations are ready, we will set off the day after tomorrow." Elvia turned the topic to travel plans.
"Oh, then what should I prepare?" Zhou Zhou was indeed diverted from the topic. In comparison, he was more interested in traveling.
"During interstellar travel, there are various interferences in certain star regions, and the star network cannot be opened normally, so the game cannot be connected."
"Does that mean I can't come out?" Zhou Zhou glanced at the bracelet on Elvia's wrist. Not only did he wear the bracelet all the time in reality, but he even used some unknown method to get the bracelet copied by Zeus in the game and wore it at all times.
"No, I will store all your original data in the bracelet at that time. You may not be able to enter the game for a while and can only stay in reality."
This was actually Elvia's little thought. After all, the interference in some star fields was too strong and might last for several days. If Zhou Zhou stayed in the game, it would mean that he would not be able to see or contact anyone for many days. But if Zhou Zhou's original data is stored in the bracelet, Zhou Zhou can always stay with him even without the star network, and during that time, there will be no interference from Zeus.
"Oh, okay." Zhou Zhou trusted Elvia very much and naturally would not object. Although he couldn't return to the game for a while, his second copy was probably almost completed by then, so it didn't matter whether he stayed in the game or not. What's more, being able to see all kinds of scenery in the interstellar world was simply a great deal.
Before, in the battle to the summit, Zhou Zhou followed Elvia and saw a lot of interstellar scenery in the starship navigation area. Although those were virtual, they still made Zhou Zhou extremely amazed. Now that he can see the real scenery in real life, he is already very satisfied.
Zhou Zhou excitedly asked where he would pass, what kind of planets he would see, what kind of scenery he would see, and who he would meet.
And Alvia patiently answered them one by one.
The previously tense atmosphere was swept away, and everything returned to normal.
"You came here before because you wanted to ask me something, right?" Elvia asked again before leaving.
Zhou Zhou looked at Alvia and blinked: "Originally, there was something I wanted to ask, but there's no rush now."
It should be about the copy, Elvia guessed. After all, every time they came to see him before, it was basically about copy design. Even though Zhou Zhou had tried his best to catch up on some common sense about interstellar, the gap of thousands of years could not be made up in a short time.
Therefore, when Zhou Zhou was undecided, he would ask Elvia for advice.
"By the way, you'd better not come out these two days. If you have any questions, please keep them and I will answer them when I go online in the evening." After all, Zhou Zhou and Ai Langge seemed to be interested in each other, and he thought it would be better for the two of them not to meet for the time being.
Zhou Zhou nodded obediently: "Oh."
His well-behaved appearance was particularly endearing. Even though he knew it didn't matter where Zhou Zhou was, he still felt that he had wronged him.
He ruffled Zhou Zhou's hair and said, "When we get to the starship the day after tomorrow, you can come and go as you please."
On the third day, when Elvia and Zhou Zhou secretly boarded the starship and left the imperial capital, Ailange received news from his nephew.
The other party allowed her to stay in the palace for a few more days and also opened up corresponding permissions for her to handle government affairs.
After all, the eldest princess was trained to be the crown prince. Even though she has been exploring abroad for so many years, she must be very sensitive to politics. This makes it possible for her to take charge of some government affairs when the emperor is away.
Ailan Ge, who originally just went home to take a look:? ? ?
