Lian Han was certainly not in danger. Although she used a random teleportation card, a small accident occurred during the teleportation process, and then—
Azure Star.
Robin's Coffee Shop.
Lian Han "saw" at table number 12 next to her, where two girls were playfully teasing each other, and one of them looked exactly like herself.
She felt a force pulling her during the teleportation, but what was it? How could she see it?
Lian Han was puzzled, then found that his world had gone dark again.
The woman sitting opposite her watched silently as the glint in the girl's eyes disappeared, and her dark eyes lost focus and color again, causing her to frown.
"What’s wrong with you?"
However, the girl didn't look at her; she remained facing table number 12. She was certain the child didn't recognize her, so she shouldn't ignore her.
The woman sensed something was wrong and grasped Lian Han's hand. The physical contact finally elicited a reaction from Lian Han. He instinctively tried to pull his hand away, but instead reached out to her, opening his hand. "Write anything on your hand. I can't see or hear right now."
Lian Han was glad that she had returned to her original form before teleporting, otherwise, turning back into Lian Han in front of others would have been a real problem.
The woman frowned even more deeply. "What's going on?"
"Before I answer, I need to know who you are? Are you the one who just brought me here?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, then wrote three words in her palm.
Shen Sihan—she had heard this name before. According to her father, she was her mother's younger sister and the current matriarch of the Lance family.
"Did you need something from me?"
According to her father, Shen Sihan disregarded sisterly affection and went to be with the person her mother liked. Later, her mother challenged her to mecha combat and even won in her mother's strongest area. After being shocked by this, her mother dropped out of school and joined the army.
There's no right or wrong when it comes to feelings. While she didn't hate this person, she couldn't bring herself to like him either. Originally, her mother, whom she'd never met, could have had another shining achievement—an outstanding graduate of the Federal First Academy, Dilo Academy.
"You haven't visited the Lance family, so I had to come see you myself."
Lian Han frowned. The Lance family? Isn't she the matriarch of the family? This title is a bit too unfamiliar.
Suppressing his doubts, Lian Han asked, "Just taking a look?"
You should call me Auntie.
"I don't even acknowledge my father and brothers, so how could I possibly have an aunt?"
Shen Sihan frowned and wrote in her palm: "Your one-sided denial is useless. The Ling family still treats you as their daughter or sister, and they feel even more guilty than before. So do I.
Lian Han was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you want from me?"
"About your eyes. Don't you have any questions?"
Lian Han immediately thought of the time before the New Year in Kui Xing when Shen Sihan borrowed her eyes and then she fell into a coma for a day.
Why give it to me?
“Xi Yemou belongs to the Shen family. Your mother gave her to me, and I am giving her to you as a way of returning her to her rightful owner.”
"Don't you also have the surname Chen?"
“It’s different. I’m just an adopted child of her parents.”
So, this is still a case of the adopted daughter stealing the man the legitimate daughter likes? Lian Han felt confused just thinking about it; no wonder her father and brother had always disliked her. "The purpose of 'Past Night' is to see the past, so why can you borrow my eyes?"
“The nights of the past were in pairs. One pair was given to the most talented child in the Shen family, and the other pair was the betrothal gift for the husband or the bride price for the wife. The pairs of nights of the past were interconnected. And now, one pair is with you, and the other pair is with me.” Shen Sihan wrote with a smile.
Is it connected? Lian Han found it amazing, but quickly frowned. "According to you, Xi Ye should belong to a couple."
“Indeed. Your mother gave them to me so I could give them to Roy Lance.” As she wrote this, a look of disdain and disgust flashed across Shen Sihan’s face, but unfortunately, Lian Han couldn’t see it.
Roy Lance, the current head of the Lance family, and Shen Sihan's husband.
"Then why did you give it to me?"
Because he is unworthy! Shen Sihan thought to herself, but wrote down, "This thing belonged to the Shen family in the past. I am just an adopted daughter. This thing should naturally be returned to its rightful owner."
It should be returned to its rightful owner.
Lian Han pursed his lips, "Do you know where Mother went?"
"Ling Xuanyu didn't want to tell you because he was afraid you would do something reckless. We'll talk about this once you get to 3S."
After finishing writing, Chen Sihan paused for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"We've run into a bit of trouble. But things will be fine in a while."
"Di Luo's school starts soon."
"Then I'll have to ask for leave first."
Not only would she be a laughing stock at school if she went there looking like this, but if General Ning paid even a little attention to Di Luo's situation, her true identity might be exposed.
How would you like to invite me?
This stumped Lian Han. Even in university, if someone requests leave at the start of the semester, at least one of them—the student or a parent—must be present. And in her situation—it's impossible to send Xiao Mei, is it?
Putting age aside, although the young lady taking care of her told her that Pei Sumei had been sent back to the capital planet, that girl has a system on her, and who knows where she is now.
Seeing her silence, Chen Sihan knew the girl was in trouble, and wrote on her hand: "I'll help you invite them."
Lian Han was surprised, "You? In what capacity do you intend to go?"
"I can just talk to the dean. Your identity is already an open secret among the upper echelons." There are some minor troubles with the Ling family, but overall it's not a big problem.
Lian Han paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your help."
"These are minor matters. Do you have someone you like?"
Lian Han's lips twitched. "I'm only 16 years old." She spent her birthday this year while her older sister took care of her. At that time, she was almost unaware of the passage of time and had no idea that it had passed.
Shen Sihan frowned, as if she had just thought of the problem. She slowly wrote on her hand, "It is indeed too small. Then Xi Ye will stay with me for a few more years. If you have a lover, you can bring him to the Lance family to show me, and I will give Xi Ye to him."
"You don't use it yourself?"
"I only have one thing to do now—accumulate strength. As long as the Federation doesn't perish, nothing else matters to me. These eyes are of no use to me anyway."
Chen Sihan paused for a moment, then continued writing, "Besides, no one wants to have something on them that can monitor them. But if they are a couple who are in love, there are not so many taboos."
"Mrs. Nalans may have to wait a long time." She hadn't planned on having a lover.
"It's alright. Don't call me Mrs. Lance, Aunt or Mrs. Shen, you choose one."
Even a form of address needs to be corrected? What exactly is the situation between her and the head of the Lance family? Lian Han was puzzled, but still immediately changed his address to "Madam Chen".
Shen Sihan nodded slightly. "This coffee shop is mine now. It's no longer open to the public, so you can stay here for now. Once you're feeling better, you can come and learn armor making from me."
"Aren't you going home?"
"I have no home."
Lian Han was stunned. What the hell? Wasn't the Lance family her home? Her husband and children lived there.
