Chapter 87 Seven Hundred Years Later: He's being affectionate with me.
He Yuan froze, then hesitated and said, "I don't need it anymore."
The swing was repaired, but all the people from that time were gone.
Danheng followed behind dejectedly, while Walter's eyes gleamed as he patted him on the shoulder.
You were born before I was born, and I was born after you had grown old.
Danheng's future lies at the train's end, while Heyuan has no future.
Just like when fighting Huanlong, the young man shot an arrow that fell like a light feather and was caught by Danheng and Jingyuan.
Faced with the blessings of the Star Gods of Hunting and Abundance, the messenger of destruction ultimately lost.
Moreover, there's the added benefit of the Star Train.
He Yuan looked at her single-digit health status and gave a wry smile.
As his gaze shifted, the expression on his face turned to surprise.
Mood: -10
What happened that caused his already precarious progress bar to regress even further?
Surely it's not that Jingyuan's arrangements actually worked.
He Yuan carefully examined the numerical changes, which were mostly concentrated after meeting Qiong.
Mr. Nameless is handsome, but he always gives off a funny vibe. Next to him, Crane has a "Mood Up" icon.
But in any case, the only difference between the demonic body and its manifestation is sooner or later.
He was placed on a stretcher on a star-shaped raft and rushed to the Dan Ding Division.
Jingyuan had something to attend to, so he squeezed Heyuan's fingers, left behind a smooth-fured white cat, and prepared to leave.
"I've been quite busy these past few days, so I'd appreciate it if you could take care of Xiaomi for me."
He Yuan hugged the chubby cat, her eyes fixed on Jing Yuan's hair.
"Your hairband is crooked," the young man pointed to the back of Jing Yuan's head.
Jing Yuan shook his head, smiled, and squatted down with his back to him. "Then, could you please help me with the acupuncture, Xiao Yuan?"
"I have several meetings to attend, please don't give me cat ears."
As if recalling something amusing, He Yuan burst out laughing.
"It happened so long ago, why do you still remember it now!"
A weak yet vibrant voice came from behind him, and Jingyuan's lips curled into a smile.
"It's a really vivid memory," Jing Yuan complained. "You have no idea, I went to work with cat ears on that day and they almost got messed up by the female strategists. General Teng Xiao also nagged me about it for a long time."
He Yuan took the opportunity to ruffle his hair, "So you're complaining about me?"
He sighed, half-jokingly, "Sigh, being a general really changes things; he even dares to talk to me like that now."
"You promised to treat me to all sorts of delicious food and drinks, but what happened?"
"The dignified General Shence has broken his promise!"
Jing Yuan immediately begged for mercy, "Good Yuan, I didn't mean that."
"I'll arrange all the good food and drinks for you once you're better. Just focus on resting and recuperating."
He Yuan wasn't buying it. She vigorously ruffled Jing Yuan's hair, making it fluffy and soft.
When the train crew knocked on the door and entered, they saw a disheveled, unkempt Shence General.
On March 7th, recalling He Yuan's words, a flash of inspiration struck him, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.
The cat that He Yuan mentioned was actually General Jing Yuan!
An awkward atmosphere filled the space.
On March 7th, Qiong was about to go out, but Qiong insisted on staying behind with bright and piercing eyes. Even the usually serious Teacher Danheng stayed behind!
Damn it, Uncle Yang, come back quickly!
On March 7th, he was filled with grief and indignation to discover that he had become the most normal person in this space!
Under the gazes of the three, He Yuan braided Jing Yuan's hair.
I paused for a moment when I saw the hair tie.
"You still kept it?"
The prop called "Red Silk Wrap" has only one effect: the color will vary in shade depending on the recipient's feelings for the giver.
Jingyuan's red is extremely intense.
Moreover, this was a gift from seven hundred years ago, and he still keeps it...
This hair tie is a shop item; it's not expensive, but it can keep the hair basically looking new.
Jingyuan's hairband looks almost brand new, so it must be well-maintained.
Do you... wear it every day?
Jing Yuan said succinctly, "Yes, because it was a gift from you."
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
The gap in her heart that had been there for so many years was stitched up by the adorable little kitten. He Yuan hummed softly, "I'll give you another one."
The dignified Shence General only had one hair ribbon in seven hundred years; that sounds rather pathetic.
Jing Yuan smiled and agreed, his expression mirroring that of Xiaomi nestled in He Yuan's arms.
He Yuan's fingers ran through his hair, tying his ponytail up, and then she took the opportunity to pat his head.
"You should take it with you from now on."
He contentedly withdrew his fingertips, placed them on Xiaomi's warm belly, then picked her up with both hands and rubbed her soft cheeks.
"Yuanmi, I really like you."
I'm not sure if this refers to a standing cat or a cat being held.
Jing Yuan waved and left with a big smile, even greeting the three of them with great pleasure.
On March 7th, he realized he had learned a shocking secret and covered his mouth tightly, controlling his expression.
Fortunately, when they arrived at the four-person room, Uncle Yang went to confirm the accommodation and dinner. As soon as Dan Heng and Qiong came in, they stood on either side of He Yuan's bed.
"You've arrived."
He Yuan greeted them cheerfully, "A great contributor to Luofu."
He deliberately imitated Jingyuan's way of addressing him, as if it were a joke, but more like a gesture of closeness.
Qiong suppressed the urge to scratch his head, his eyes shining brightly.
He didn't say anything, yet it was as if he said everything.
He Yuan thought for a moment, "Didn't you ask me before if I needed anything?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Could you please send a message to the Star Core Hunter for me?"
"But—ah???" Qiong's face was full of shock, but then she returned to her usual self.
Yes, Ah Yuan did have a relationship with her second uncle.
Wait... so what is my relationship with A-Yuan?
After being reincarnated as a star core essence, I fell in love with my second uncle's ex-wife.
Teacher Danheng is—
Reincarnated as an unknown person, and then falling in love with the unrequited love of her past life.
The issue of seniority here is too serious!
Seeing that Qiong did not answer for a long time, He Yuan asked, "Is it not allowed?"
Qiong immediately snapped out of her daze: "Okay!"
He was about to take out his phone to text Kafka when he noticed the other two people staring at him.
March 7th asked bluntly, "You still have contact with the Star Core Hunters?"
Dan Heng remained silent, observing everything.
Qiong gave an awkward smile, "I asked them for help with something before..."
He answered verbally, but quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Kafka.
[Galaxy Baseball Man: A-Yuan is in ward xxx at Dan Ding Si Hospital.]
[Galaxy Baseball Man: He misses someone.]
[Kafka: Received.]
Qiong also had her own selfish motives.
The Trailblazers thought that since he couldn't compete with Jing Yuan and the others anyway, he might as well bring in more people to stir up trouble and be more considerate of them.
"Mimi~"
The little kitten in He Yuan's arms rolled over, its heavy body pressing against the young man's chest, trying to rub its head against him to attract his attention.
"Xiao Mi~ What's wrong?"
He Yuan smiled as she looked at the cat, letting it rub against her face.
The cat's tongue, with its tiny barbs, leaves small marks on the face, but mostly a sticky, watery sheen.
"It itches... haha..."
My attention was completely drawn to the cat.
Qiong realized something was wrong and immediately said, "Is this General Jingyuan's cat?"
He Yuan nodded, "Yes, its name is Xiaomi."
An overly soft voice rang out: "Little Mi, come say hello to the Pioneer brother~"
Brother Wumingke.
He called me Brother Wumingke.
Qiong's face flushed red, and she cautiously reached out a finger to touch it.
He Yuan then held Xiaomi and pointed her at Dan Heng, saying, "Xiaomi, this is Brother Dan Heng~"
Danheng coughed once or twice, bowed his head earnestly, and extended his hand to Xiaomi, saying, "Hello."
Little Mi arrogantly climbed back into He Yuan's arms, ignoring the two of them.
Seeing this, on March 7th, not wanting to get involved in their competition, he went out to find Bailu.
The two inside, one was roasted to a crisp by "Brother Pioneer," and the other was so embarrassed by "Brother Danheng" that he couldn't speak.
The room fell silent again, with only the kitten meowing.
He Yuan has a good impression of people who can give her attribute bonuses, and takes the initiative to talk to Qiong.
"Where have you been before?" He Yuan asked. "I used to have a friend who was a nameless traveler, and she told me a lot of stories."
This is Qiong's forte.
He went straight from the Black Tower Space Station to Yalilo, and then to the Luofu Immortal Ship.
When it was mentioned that Yalilo's disaster came from the star core, Heyuan seemed to be deep in thought.
The Star Core is a creation of the Star God, and both it and the Antimatter Legion originated from destruction.
He Yuan knew what she had to do.
He asked, "So how did you solve the problem of the star core?"
Qiong scratched his head, "It was Teacher Himeko and Uncle Yang who solved it; we haven't learned it yet."
Moreover, he himself is a star core expert.
Dan Heng did say, "The power of immortality might be able to suppress it."
It was Danfeng who told him.
Since you want to spend time together, tell him everything you know.
He prefers honest people.
"I see..."
Just as the room was about to fall silent again, Qiong realized she couldn't keep letting He Yuan start conversations, so she took the initiative and said, "We're planning to stay in Luofu for a few days. Does A Yuan have any recommendations for places to stay?"
He Yuan thought for a moment, "You can go to Jinren Alley and there are some other nice attractions. Once I recover, I'll take you around Lin Yuan Realm."
Dan Heng also spoke up: "I can take you diving."
"...Huh?"
He Yuan looked at him suspiciously, "How did you know I was planning to take you diving?"
but……
He Yuan glanced at her slowly declining physique.
He felt he probably wouldn't recover.
Damn it, he doesn't want to grow leaves and become ugly.
[System notification: The player can only die; they do not meet the requirements to form a demonic body.]
【……Why? 】
Isn't he from the Celestial Ship? His race is clearly stated.
But no matter how much He Yuan poked at it, the system remained silent.
Dan Heng explained, "The upper part of Lin Yuan Realm has been in disrepair for many years and there's nothing to see there, but the underwater scenery is quite unique."
Qiong's eyes lit up.
He had long envied the travelers next door who could enjoy the underwater world of Fontainebleau, and now it was finally his turn!
He volunteered to go see a doctor and get medicine, determined to help He Yuan recover.
He Yuan was relieved that Dan Heng had not inherited the healing Cloud Chant spell, so he could not see the extent of Dan Heng's wounded body.
But the next second, Danheng asked, "Actually, you can't get better, right?"
He couldn't see it, but he could see the residual Danfeng in his body at a glance.
Danfeng loved cranes and kites, and knew everything about the young man's every move, seeing the weakness and decay beneath his lively exterior.
Moreover, he doesn't rely entirely on cloud chanting magic to cure illnesses; any physician could see He Yuan's current condition.
My days are numbered; it's time to report to the Ten Kings' Office.
He Yuan lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.
“I can’t take him with me, but I can leave him something to help him go.”
This gift will be given as a reward.
Crane Kite plans to ask Mr. Pioneer to do a small favor for him.
——
When Qiong returned with a bottle of medicine, she felt that the atmosphere between the two of them had almost reached freezing point.
He immediately wanted to say something to lighten the mood, when he heard He Yuan say, "Mr. Pioneer, could you do me a favor?"
"It's paid."
He'd do it even without pay!
Qiong nodded immediately.
He Yuan smiled, picked up Xiaomi, got off the bed, and put on her shoes.
"Please help me find an outfit suitable for going out. I want to go out for a walk; I don't want to be cooped up in the hospital room."
“But your health…” Qiong looked at him with concern.
General Jingyuan said that Heyuan needed to recuperate.
He Yuan shook her head. "I know my own body. I don't need to rest at all. I just sent Jing Yuan away so I could have some fun by myself."
"Moreover, Danheng inherited the power of the Dragon Lord and possesses the healing Cloud Chant spell, which is far more effective than the medicine you have."
Qiong looked at Dan Heng for confirmation.
Danheng nodded slightly.
Given Professor Danheng's past reliability, Qiong readily believed him.
He immediately went out and used the teleportation point to arrive at the Star Chariot Sea Central Hub, where he bought a set of clothes that matched He Yuan's size.
He Yuan put on her clothes and hat, and quietly slipped out of the Dan Ding Si with them.
"Come on, I'll be your tour guide for a day."
He Yuan stood at the entrance of Jinren Alley and spoke to Qiong.
*
Jinren Lane has always been a key area of focus for Luofu. It has a rich historical heritage and is very suitable for developing tourism. The snacks along the way are all unique and can attract a variety of tourists.
"Tapioca rolls, lotus root cakes, hot goat milk... try them one by one!"
Whether it was Qiong's imagination or not, he felt that He Yuan's complexion was abnormally rosy.
But when he saw the thin layer of sweat on the young man's forehead, he realized he was overthinking things.
It must be because they were walking too fast.
They sampled many snacks in Jinren Lane, among which Danheng strictly selected several dairy products that Heyuan, who was lactose intolerant, was not allowed to eat.
Faced with He Yuan's pitiful gaze, Qiong and Dan Heng stood on the same side.
"Ah Yuan, you're still not fully recovered, so you shouldn't eat things that make you feel unwell."
So why does the game need to record this kind of data when scanning body data?
Fortunately, Danheng carefully looked at the ingredient list and found a few ingredients that he could eat, so he could try them.
If you walk to the end and pass through the connection between the caves, you will reach Changletian.
This place contains Jingyuan's Shence Mansion, as well as the former home of Heyuan and Yingxing.
He Yuan led them to the luxurious residential area and into the long-sealed villa.
The flowers in the garden were neglected, and weeds grew wildly, making the flowers merely decorative. The koi in the pond had long since learned to fend for themselves, and the lotus flowers bloomed and faded, presenting a desolate scene.
Pushing open the door, the cleaning robot was working diligently, so you could move in right away.
But He Yuan probably wasn't staying; he just came back to take a look.
Looking at the fruit plate on the coffee table and the slightly messy kitchen utensils, it feels as if they were discussing today's menu here just yesterday.
Looking at everything around her, He Yuan's eyes reddened, and tears dripped from her chin, silently swallowed by the carpet.
It feels like yesterday.
He even felt that the wedding was still just a few weeks ago.
They have always been very sweet and loving.
So He Yuan never imagined that things would turn out this way so unexpectedly.
Yet, this ending... somehow makes a little sense.
Some people enjoy seeing NPCs go crazy for them and do many incomprehensible things, as a way to prove the other person's love and their own charm.
He Yuan would rather be unattractive.
He would rather Yingxing and Danfeng live out their lives peacefully, just like the ending he had previously chosen for a four-person relationship.
Yingxing was a renowned master craftsman on the Immortal Ship. On the day he died, many students saw him off on the road, and countless people came to the mourning hall to pay their respects.
He was a hero of the Immortal Ship and a pioneer in the fight against the Abundance, and his name will be forever etched in history.
Not an arrest warrant.
Would Yingxing care?
Anyway, He Yuan cares a lot.
Let's go.
He Yuan lowered the brim of her hat and said in a slightly tearful voice, "Let's go to the next place."
His concerns are remarkably similar to Yingxing's. If Heyuan makes a decision on his own, isn't he just another Yingxing who is hiding something?
During the brief silence of the crane and the kite, Qiong remained silent.
He had seen the program and knew that this was the former residence of He Yuan and Ying Xing, and that they had spent five years of their close relationship here.
The finale of "Can I Go to Your House?" was filmed and broadcast simultaneously, so the timing couldn't be faked.
Their continued ties are proof of their love.
Qiong felt a pang of sadness.
He was originally a fan of the Crane and the Kite pairing, and he opposed all pairings involving the Crane and the Kite, only accepting images and texts related to the CP (couple pairing).
It's really uncomfortable for him to stay in their old house right now.
Even if that person may have fought alongside you before.
Two conflicting emotions mingled together, leaving him speechless, so he simply shut up and opened a shooting point.
Crane Kite: "?"
Dan Heng: "??"
March 7th, who noticed the aiming point update: "???"
Qiong: Her face was completely innocent.
"Is that not allowed? I was thinking that if you come next time, I can just teleport you there."
...Will there be a next time?
What's Qiong thinking?
As Dan Heng was wondering, he heard Qiong say again, "A Yuan, why don't we board the Starry Sky Train together and become nameless passengers!"
"Listening to stories is nowhere as exciting as creating them!"
Hearing his words, He Yuan agreed, saying, "What you said is quite right."
Qiong: "Could it be..."
He Yuan found Qiong's expression rather amusing, "But I've already created so many stories that I'm a little too tired to walk anymore."
He refused the invitation to get in the car, which made Qiong uneasy.
This unease has no origin.
She simply refused to get on the train. Hiluva from Arillo had also said she wanted to get on the train as an anonymous passenger, but in the end she stayed in Arillo to build.
But He Yuan's words... made Qiong feel inexplicably uneasy.
But he couldn't provide any concrete evidence, so he could only say, "Okay, after I'm done with Pinocchio, can I come to see you in Louvre?"
"I want to share new stories with you."
He Yuan pursed her lips, "Of course."
"I really like Mr. Trailblazer's story."
...I like my story.
Like me!!!
Qiong immediately put all her doubts aside. When she learned that He Yuan wanted to go to the Bureau of Works, she immediately teleported him away, leaving Dan Heng alone in the same spot.
Dan Heng took a deep breath and followed.
As soon as I landed, I saw the Star Core Hunter.
Kafka arrived with her blade.
He Yuan was holding Xiaomi, which made it difficult for her to move around, so she could only use one hand to tug at Ying Xing's sleeve.
"I've come to find you."
At this moment, He Yuan's expression was synchronized with that of the cat in his arms.
Ying Xing's heart softened, and she gently put her arm around the young man's shoulder. "I've also prepared a trip to Lusaka. Once you've recovered, we'll go together."
He Yuan nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
"Don't let me down."
It's such a pity, he probably won't be able to go.
He Yuan lowered her eyes, concealing her thoughts, and asked softly, "Can I stay at your place for a while?"
He wanted to know if Yingxing was doing well.
It should be good; anyone with eyes can see that.
Ying Xing immediately agreed: "Okay."
"Ren..." Kafka's helpless voice rang out, "Ren, shouldn't you ask for our opinion?"
Ying Xing turned his head in confusion.
But he had already said it before, and Eriol agreed.
He Yuan thought about it and agreed.
The Star Core Hunters have bounties worth billions across the galaxy, if their stronghold is discovered...
He and the Star Core Hunter were complete strangers, so he really shouldn't have made that request so rashly.
"Then I—"
"Then why don't we come and play on the train!" Qiong, who had been ignored, tried to speak up and tugged at Danheng.
Danheng immediately followed up, "The train conductor will welcome any guest."
It seems to be implying something about someone...?
Forget it, what's done is done. Getting them here is the most important thing!
Kafka, who only wanted to make a joke, immediately said upon seeing this, "Alright, alright, actually, on the first day that A-Ren came to Star Core Hunter, he said that his ex-wife might come here, and he asked all of us for our opinions."
"We unanimously approve."
Contrary to what everyone assumes is a fixed base, the Star Core Hunters' base is located on a starship, constantly changing coordinates. With Silver Wolf, a top hacker, on board, there is no possibility of leaks.
Ying Xing's tense face relaxed.
"Hmm... the room was prepared a long time ago, everything is to your liking..."
Blade, who has lost his dexterous hands, has no hobbies and spends all his money on that vague and uncertain future.
In his view, it would be worth it even if He Yuan stayed here for just one second.
Even if you don't come, it's still worthwhile.
He Yuan scratched the cat's chin, then followed the same approach with Ying Xing, and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to bother you."
Qiong lowered her head in disappointment, only to have it pressed down by a pair of soft hands.
"I haven't been on the Star Train yet. I'll definitely go and see it when I get back."
He Yuan asked, "Are you in a hurry to leave?"
"No rush, no rush!" Qiong thought of a million reasons to stop. "Contact me anytime if you want to come; I'm always online!"
The Star Core Essence is strong and robust, capable of simulating the universe on its own and working tirelessly through the night, truly a diligent and hardworking galactic worker.
He Yuan was amused by his expression, "Okay, but you're not allowed to bother me!"
He's being affectionate with me. Qiong thought.
Is this way of thinking a bit too conventional? Qiong wondered again.
But the way he said it really sounded like he was being coquettish!
Qiong thought about it again and again, "It's you who doesn't find me annoying!"
As long as his brain speed allows, he can send a hundred messages per minute!
Ying Xing snorted coldly and wrapped her arms tightly around He Yuan's shoulders.
He wouldn't give He Yuan the chance to be "annoying," nor would he give anyone else the chance to annoy He Yuan.
Especially Danheng.
Don't think he can't see it; some of this kid's behaviors are practically identical to Danfeng's!
“Perhaps we should prepare a room,” Dan Heng said to Qiong after watching the Star Core Hunter leave.
Qiong thought about it and agreed.
He's sleeping in a cardboard box now, so there's no reason for He Yuan to sleep in a cardboard box with him.
Danheng's cold, impersonal think tank is also bad for the patient's health.
-----------------------
Author's note: Just to clarify beforehand, I won't go into detail about getting on the bus and the Star Core Hunter here.
This relates to the main storyline, so it's written here, but repetition is inevitable later.
The characters Qiong and A Yuan on this route evoke a feeling of "you were born before I was born" [sunglasses].
However, the main story has a happy ending (HE) and all the characters end up with dumplings!
