Chapter 239 I Suspect
Lan Ximeng stayed in Liu Delai's office for quite some time. In order to prevent Lan Ximeng from feeling bored, Liu Delai brought her more than a dozen romance novels.
"These books belong to some young girls in our department. You can use them to kill time." Liu Delai put the confiscated books on the coffee table.
He looked around and felt that it was not a good idea for him to stay, so he said, "Xiao Meng, uncle has something to do now, you stay here alone, and your family will come over when they wake up."
"Okay." Lan Ximeng smiled and nodded. Only after she saw Liu Delai leave did she relax her tense back.
I feel so uncomfortable communicating with my leader.
Fortunately, I am alone now.
Lan Ximeng picked up the top novel on the coffee table, "I treat you as a brother, but you want me to be your wife!" 》.
The cover shows two handsome guys facing each other, one of them has his arms folded proudly with disdain in his eyes.
The other one stretched out a hand and held it in mid-air, his eyes full of nostalgia.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, oh wow, it’s BL pure love.
Interstellar is not opposed to same-sex love and even has a special law for it.
Same-sex couples can get married, but they are not allowed to associate with or marry the opposite sex after divorce. If discovered, they will be severely punished.
Lan Ximeng paid attention to this matter because of a celebrity gossip she read a long time ago. At that time, her thinking was still in the 21st century.
But after being pointed out by netizens, I realized how powerful it is.
For a married superstar to be with a same-sex person is even more despicable than cheating in the 21st century, and the offender may even go to jail.
But later on, the protagonists of the scandal went to the military academy to participate in activities, so it was basically fake news.
Lan Ximeng opened the novel in her hand and began to read it with great interest.
By the time Lan Guoqiang and his companions arrived, Lan Ximeng had already finished reading the novel on the coffee table.
"Xiao Meng, you've been waiting for a long time. Let's go back with our parents." Lan Guoqiang stood at the door, waving his hand outside, motioning Lan Ximeng to follow him.
Lan Ximeng put down the novel in her hand and followed Lan Guoqiang out.
"Don't you need to tell Uncle Liu?" Lan Ximeng felt that she couldn't just leave like that. She had to tell the owner of the office.
Chen Chuntao shook her head and said, "No need, your Uncle Liu knows."
Lan Ximeng followed the three people and came to Lan Yuncheng's dormitory.
"Is this your dormitory?"
"How do you know?" Lan Yuncheng didn't even go in, but heard Lan Ximeng's question from outside.
"I can tell. This is your dormitory at first glance." Lan Ximeng and Lan Yuncheng have been siblings for decades. If they can't recognize each other, they are not blood relatives.
Lan Xi dreamed of lying in bed, but when she remembered that she hadn't taken a shower for several days, she gave up the idea.
"Xiao Cheng, you stay here to deal with your sister's affairs. Mom and Dad will go back and keep an eye on her." Lan Guoqiang touched Lan Ximeng's head and said, "Listen to your brother here. This is not our home."
Lan Ximeng nodded, "I understand. Mom and Dad, you guys go and get busy."
Chen Chuntao smiled and touched Lan Ximeng's face, saying, "Your face has become a little dull. Remember to use skin care products when you have time."
"Yeah, I know." Lan Ximeng touched her face and didn't feel anything. Maybe it was because she hadn't washed her face for a few days.
After Lan Guoqiang and the other man left, Lan Ximeng asked, "Sixty-six?"
Lan Yuncheng took out a chair from the side and asked Lan Ximeng to sit down, saying, "I'll handle things next door."
"Brother, now that you are free, tell me why you didn't tell me about this in advance." Lan Ximeng's tone was very flat, but her slightly narrowed eyes expressed her dissatisfaction.
Lan Yuncheng looked at the ceiling, tapping his face with his fingers, "Well, it's a long story."
"Then just talk less." Lan Ximeng could see that Lan Yuncheng just wanted to put the matter behind him.
"Okay." Lan Yuncheng pulled his chair closer and said to Lan Ximeng, "This is not something I want to say, and you can't just listen to it. You have to know that our current identities and our parents' are not simple."
"I can't tell you. Could you please at least give me a hint?" Lan Ximeng was still very angry. She almost collapsed when she thought about how she saw her family lying in a strange place. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she might have dragged everyone down with her.
"Well, it's my fault. Don't worry, it won't happen again." Lan Yuncheng raised his hand and swore.
Lan Ximeng rolled her eyes. She didn’t believe it.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If you have anything to ask, I'll tell you everything I can." Lan Yuncheng stopped playing dirty and sat there seriously, waiting for Lan Ximeng's questions.
"I want to know why they attacked me." Lan Ximeng could never understand why these people liked her.
Apart from the fact that she came from ten thousand years ago, there seemed to be nothing worth remembering.
"I knew you were going to ask this. Do you remember the family we met in the rest area before the accident?"
Lan Ximeng nodded. Although she had never seen it, she had heard about it from her parents.
"Bai Yiting is the daughter of that family."
Lan Yuncheng's words immediately confused Lan Ximeng's mind, "Wait, you said, Bai Yiting is the four-year-old cutie you were talking about?"
"Yes." Lan Yuncheng nodded, "They have been following us all the time, and even traveled through time with us."
Lan Ximeng opened her eyes wide, "No way, then where did they travel to?"
"Empire." Lan Yuncheng said calmly. He didn't think that the Bai family traveled through time because of them.
Lan Ximeng couldn't help but say loudly: "They traveled to the empire!"
She could imagine what kind of treatment humans would receive if they entered the orcs' territory.
"Then this has nothing to do with their attack on me. Even if we traveled through time together, their misfortune has nothing to do with us!" Lan Ximeng didn't understand, she really didn't understand.
If they really suffered inhuman torture, why didn't they attack the orcs instead of them? After all, they came from the same place and the same country.
"I don't know, but once a person goes crazy, his thoughts are not something that normal people like us can understand." Lan Yuncheng analyzed it for a long time, and this was the only explanation.
This is like some people who can't bear to see others having a good time when they themselves are having a hard time.
Their family is separated, but the Lan family is not only living a happy life, but also has achieved success. It is understandable that they would go crazy.
"Then what about Cheng Bai?"
"Cheng Bai is the father of that family, but he is possessed by a soul." Lan Yuncheng briefly explained some of the abilities of emotional extraction.
Lan Ximeng suddenly had an idea and said, "Do you remember that I was pulled into a fantasy world during the mecha competition?"
Lan Yuncheng nodded. He remembered that this was the incident that made him know Cheng Bai.
"I was pulled into the illusion and saw what happened when we traveled through time. There was a car behind us, and the most important thing was that the white light started from the back!" Lan Ximeng stared at Lan Yuncheng.
"You mean, the Bai family is the real reason why we traveled through time?" Lan Yuncheng had recalled the past many times, but in his memory, the white light always appeared in front of the car.
"Yes, I saw it from a third-party perspective at that time." Lan Ximeng continued, "If that illusion really only had my memory, I should only have seen the white light coming from the front, not from the back."
"I suspect that there is vision of the Bai family in that illusion!" Lan Ximeng said with certainty.
