Lan Yu dragged Lu Rankong forward, passing through the medicinal bath area, chess and card area and screening area, her leather shoes tapping the ground rapidly.
Lu Rankong followed closely, his face not looking very good, but he said, "Walk slower, look, the cat can't keep up."
Lan Yu said: "You have been talking nonsense all night, and now you even call a tiger a cat."
"Walk slower, you see the tiger can't catch up, it's so anxious that it's about to meow."
There were some guests sitting on both sides. They looked over when they heard the footsteps. Lan Yu looked back coldly, and those people turned their heads away again.
He pulled Lu Rankong out of the lounge area quickly and went straight back to the guest room. The little tiger chased to the entrance of the lounge and stopped, turned around for a while, and then followed again.
The two walked through the long corridor and stopped at the door of the suite. Lan Yu took out the room card and swiped it to open the door. After entering, she poured herself a full glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking the water, he saw Lu Rankong still standing at the door, so he put down the cup and said, "Come in..."
Lu Rankong took a step inside.
"close the door……"
Lu Rankong turned around and closed the door.
Both of them were silent. The room was very quiet. The passenger starship had good sound insulation, and there was no humming sound during flight.
After a while, Lu Rankong said in a hoarse voice: "Maybe you think I did something wrong, but I don't think I did anything wrong."
Lan Yu stared at him for a while, then turned her head and spun the empty water cup on the table with her hands, making a tumbling sound.
Knock knock knock, someone is knocking on the door, but the two of them seem not to hear it and ignore it.
The knock on the door continued relentlessly, not loud but patient.
"Who?" Lu Rankong asked, suppressing his emotions.
A childish voice came from outside the door: "Guest, you didn't bring your belongings with you."
Lan Yu couldn't help but turn her head and look at Lu Rankong.
Lu Rankong walked over and opened the door. The little tiger slid in from his arms. "Guest, you didn't bring your belongings with you."
After saying that, he opened the storage compartment on his chest and took out the red wine inside.
After Lu Rankong took the red wine, the little tiger robot said again: "Good night, I wish you a good dream." Then it slid out of the door.
Lu Rankong closed the door and casually placed the bottle of red wine on top of the entrance cabinet, then he heard Lan Yu suddenly say, "Actually, you are not wrong. I am wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you and kept it a secret from you."
Lu Rankong was startled, slowly withdrew his hand, and said: "There is no need to talk about who is right or wrong. Even if you sent him a message this afternoon, I can ignore it, but you can no longer have any contact with him——"
"I have never been in a relationship, and I don't have an omega ex-boyfriend named Gu Gu." Lan Yu interrupted him.
"Ah?" Lu Rankong didn't quite understand.
He repeated somewhat dazedly: "You've never been in a relationship, and you don't have an omega ex-boyfriend named Gu Gu?"
Lan Yu said: "Yes, that was a lie I told, just like the flowers in your back garden, they are all fake."
Lu Rankong was stunned for a moment, pointed outside the door and said, "That Gu Gu..."
"I don't even know him." Lan Yu said.
"I should have told you a long time ago, but either I forgot or I didn't care, or I thought it was interesting to see your reaction. In short, for various reasons, I didn't tell you the truth, so you mistook me for my ex-boyfriend tonight." Lan Yu said in one breath and closed her mouth.
"So...that's fake?" Lu Rankong asked.
"Yes..." Lan Yu said softly.
"Then have you ever..."
"No, I don't have any ex-boyfriends." Lan Yu added with emphasis: "Same as you..."
Lu Rankong was still standing at the door, his expression changing, sometimes angry and sometimes enlightened. Lan Yu knew that he was recalling what had just happened, and did not dare to look up at him. She just lowered her head and fiddled with the water cup.
No one knew what Lu Rankong was thinking about at the end, but he slowly smiled. Lan Yu was glancing over and caught the expression on his face.
Lan Yu looked at him in surprise, and Lu Rankong asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Aren't you angry? You were so embarrassing just now."
"Angry, very angry." Lu Rankong said.
"Then why are you still laughing?" Lan Yu asked suspiciously.
Lu Rankong frowned and said, "I was so angry that I forgot my expression."
Lan Yu pursed her lips and turned to look aside.
Lu Rankong didn't say anything. He just picked up the bottle of wine and walked to the small bar in the suite. He took out two red wine glasses from the cabinet and started pouring the wine.
Lan Yu heard the muffled sound of the cork being pulled out and glanced over there. When Lu Rankong picked up the wine glass and turned around, she quickly turned her head away.
Lu Rankong walked over slowly with two glasses of red wine, stopped in front of him, and said, "I was really embarrassed just now. I thought he was your ex-boyfriend and said a lot of nonsense."
Lan Yu's scalp started to tighten when he mentioned this, but she felt that his tone was very relaxed and the emotion and content did not quite match, so she looked at him with some confusion.
"It's my fault that I didn't ask you before. I made a judgment based on just a little coincidence and determined that he was your ex-boyfriend." Lu Rankong even laughed and sounded very happy.
He placed both glasses of wine on the cabinet beside Lan Yu, leaned against it, shook his head and said, "It's really embarrassing. After all, I'm a colonel, but I act like I'm drunk. What's the difference between me and those drunks?"
Lan Yu stared at him, watching him talking and laughing. There was no sign of shame or anger on his face, and it seemed as if every pore of his body exuded comfort.
"I just made a fool of myself in front of so many people, and there were a few robots." Lu Rankong looked at Lan Yu, put his arm around his shoulders, brought him over and kissed him on the face, and said, "No matter what the cause is, I am still hurt inside. As long as you treat me better in the future, my wounds will slowly heal."
Lan Yu narrowed her eyes at him and asked, "Then how can I treat you well so that your wound will heal?"
"I actually still lack a sense of security, you know? Security. I always feel that the relationship between us is still very fragile, so I worry about gains and losses." Lu Rankong let go of his shoulders, facing him seriously and said: "If this sense of security is never obtained, things like tonight may happen again in the future."
Lan Yu asked again: "Then how do you want me to give you a sense of security?"
Lu Rankong thought about it and said thoughtfully: "I think you can make our relationship more stable, and I will feel at ease."
"For example?" Lan Yu asked.
"For example, let's put it this way. A stable relationship is not only about inner feelings, but physical compatibility is also very important." Lu Rankong put his arm around Lan Yu's shoulders and patted her. "Maybe it's a little too profound for you, after all, you've never been in love before."
"Oh? Aren't you the same?"
"I have a wealth of theories. What's the difference between us? It's the theories..." Lu Rankong said patiently, "Just remember that love needs all-round care, so that your partner will no longer worry about gains and losses. When you see someone, you will think they are your ex-boyfriend, and you will feel safe inside."
Lan Yu slowly took the hand off her shoulder and said with a half-smile, "You've said so much, but the physical fit is the key point, right?"
"Don't misunderstand what I mean. What I mean is that love needs all-round care. All-round." Lu Rankong looked at him, his face full of confusion. "What are you thinking about?"
Lan Yu glanced at him sideways without saying anything. Lu Ran turned his gaze away and said, "Of course, physical compatibility is also very important. The sooner the better. Otherwise, there will always be a gap in your heart that cannot be filled."
Lan Yu snorted and laughed, then turned around and picked up a glass of wine from the cabinet, saying, "Then your piece will be left empty for now."
Lu Rankong also picked up a glass of wine and said awkwardly, "I'm not in a hurry. There's less than a month left anyway."
"What month?"
"You forgot so quickly? I said, no matter what reason you give me in a month, I won't let you go." Lu Rankong said vaguely: "There are only more than 20 days now."
Lan Yu took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Let's wait and see..."
Lu Rankong turned the ship's walls transparent and turned off the lights. The two sat side by side on the sofa, drinking and chatting quietly while looking at the stars outside.
"Do you really not mind? What happened at the bar tonight." Lan Yu asked.
"He's really not your ex-boyfriend?"
"no……"
"Why should I mind? Besides, there are no reporters around." Lu Rankong said this carelessly, and then he was attracted by a golden planet. He pointed to Lan Yu: "Look, that one is very beautiful, golden."
Lan Yu looked at his chiseled profile and smiled silently, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek, then rested her head on his shoulder, feeling extremely peaceful.
The next day, Lan Yu woke up to the sound of music and a soft female voice: "Dear passengers, the Yuancheng has arrived at Sasu Star and will land in half an hour. There may be some bumps during the journey, so please don't move around..."
"Awake?" Lu Rankong walked out of the bathroom. His well-ironed military uniform made him look even more handsome. His hair was styled neatly and he looked energetic.
Lan Yu sat up from the bed with her messy hair propped up, and said in a daze, "You are dressed so beautifully."
Lu Rankong adjusted the position of his tie in his military uniform and said, "You should get up and tidy up soon. By the way, I just used the face cream you bought for me. It felt very comfortable."
Lan Yu saw that his wrists were just exposed by the cuffs of his gray shirt, and his leather shoes were polished to a shine. She guessed that he was going to meet someone important after getting off the ship.
Suddenly I remembered that his home was on Sasu Star, and he had said before that he would take me to see his eldest brother. A guess suddenly emerged in my mind, and my heart started pounding.
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Lu Rankong walked to the bedside, pulled him up, pulled him into his arms and kissed him, saying, "Go wash up quickly, the starship is about to land."
Lan Yu went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth while thinking about how she should dress so that she would appear solemn yet not too formal, appropriate and natural.
"You should also take care of your hair, a few strands are sticking up." Lu Rankong suddenly turned around and reminded: "And don't you have a grey shirt too? Let's wear the same one."
"Mine is light gray." Lan Yu said vaguely while holding a toothbrush in her mouth.
“Is there any difference?”
"some……"
Lu Rankong said, "Wear that one too, it'll be fine if it's the same."
Lan Yu thought it was fine. They were not exactly the same, just the same color. They were somewhat like a couple's outfit and would be suitable for meeting his family.
He quickly washed up and started to do skin care. While applying the serum, he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "You haven't told me why you are dressed so formally. Are you going to meet someone? Or to a banquet?"
He deliberately added the mention of attending the banquet to make it seem less deliberate.
Lu Rankong paused and said, "You may not know that Sasu Main Star is different from our Zata Star. The ship landing area here is very crowded."
"Well, what next?" Lan Yu began to rinse her mouth with water.
Lu Rankong came over, stood at the door of the restroom, and said, "Because there are always various celebrities appearing, there are many reporters surrounding the Sasu docking area. If we show up, we will definitely be surrounded and photographed, and we will also accept a few interviews. If we don't take good care of our image, it will be embarrassing to be on the show."
Lan Yu slowly turned her head and looked at him expressionlessly. Lu Rankong took two steps forward, lifted his hair and said, "Don't use that expression when the time comes. Remember to smile."
The starship landed quickly, and the two men walked out of the room, each dragging a suitcase. After a few steps, their pace slowed down.
The door of the room in front had just opened, and the two omegas that I met in the bar last night were also dragging their suitcases out. The omega in front stuck his head out to look, then quickly retracted his head after seeing the two of them and slammed the door shut.
"It's all your fault..." Lan Yu mouthed to Lu Rankong.
Lu Rankong also smiled and mouthed back, "It's your fault too..."
The two men walked past the door without looking around, and met up with Director Wang and Xiao Liu who were waiting at the ship's door, and got off the starship.
Passing the ship's exit and walking into the spacious ship reception hall, Lan Yu looked ahead and asked Lu Rankong calmly, "Where are the reporters? Are they interviewing? Are they watching and taking pictures? It's a pity that you dressed up for nothing."
The entire ship reception hall was empty with no one in it, only a few cleaning robots were cleaning.
Lu Rankong didn't say anything, but after walking out of the ship reception hall, he suddenly perked up and said to Lan Yu: "Pay attention, there is a group of reporters in front of you on the right. We often make contributions and have been on many shows. They will swarm over us like flies. If you have any questions that you can't answer later, don't open your mouth. I will answer them for you."
As soon as the words fell, the group of reporters ran forward along the isolation belt, brushed past them, and ran quickly to the back.
"Hurry up, the best actor is out."
"Hurry up and catch up, and try to interview as soon as possible."
The two continued to walk forward. Lan Yu pretended that nothing had happened. Lu Rankong explained himself: "He didn't recognize us..."
Lan Yu suddenly felt sorry for him, so she nodded and said, "Yes, he didn't recognize us."
When they walked out of the ship reception hall, a gray commercial vehicle had already parked outside. Director Wang and Xiao Liu, who had been lagging behind, finally caught up. They tried to open the car door while panting and said, "The two colonels have really long legs. They seem to be walking leisurely. Xiao Liu and I can't catch up. This car is here to pick us up. Please come in."
After everyone was seated, the business car left the parking lot and headed towards the main city.
This was Lan Yu’s first time to visit the main planet of Sasu. After getting in the car, she looked outside through the window.
Sasu Star was obviously different from Zata Star. There were modern skyscrapers everywhere, hover trains whizzed overhead, drones detecting traffic violations hovered over the streets, and cars were like ants connected end to end, flowing in an endless stream.
"This is where I grew up, Sasu Star." Lu Rankong introduced it in his ear: "It's a cold steel city, there's nothing to see."
"I think it's not bad." Lan Yu was still looking out the car window with a smile on her lips.
"Sasu is the most boring planet among all the planets. What do you think is good about it?" Lu Rankong asked.
Lan Yu turned to look at him, joy dancing in her dark eyes.
"Because you grew up here, I think this place is nice." Seeing Director Wang in the back row talking on the terminal, he leaned close to Lu Rankong and whispered.
Lu Rankong was stunned for a moment, then he put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice, then turned his head to look out the window. Lan Yu was surprised to find that his ears had turned red.
"How strange, you are actually shy." Lan Yu whispered again, and without anyone noticing, she stretched out her finger and poked Lu Rankong's ear.
Lu Rankong took his hand and held it, smiling towards the car window.
When the car was waiting for the traffic light, Lu Rankong asked him: "After finishing this task, can you go home with me? Meet my big brother..."
He added: "And my father..."
Lan Yu's heart started beating fast. She turned her head to look out the window and said, "Didn't you say that the food at your eldest brother's house is not good?"
Lu Rankong reached out his hand, poked his ear, which was also beginning to turn red, and whispered, "I'll do it for you myself."
"Forget it, let's just try the chef's cooking and see how bad it is." Lan Yu said.
"Okay, then try it when the time comes. If you're not satisfied, just tell me and I'll make it for you right away."
Lan Yu nodded lightly.
