Chapter 69: Memories that cannot be let go
After the Jianmu incident, Huanlong's identity was revealed, and only a white carp fan was left on the disappeared body of "Tingyun".
She often follows the merchant group on the merchant ship, and Xianzhou needs to send someone to find the route of the merchant ship.
However, most people do not hold out hope. After all, this is not the first time that the Legion of Destruction has destroyed the merchant ships of the Immortal Boat. As early as seven hundred years ago, the ending of Lu Qi’s previous line of strategy guide showed that the Legion of Destruction had blown up the merchant ships.
But at that time it was an indiscriminate attack, and the Immortal Boat did not engage in a full-scale war with the Legion. Now it seems that they should have been prepared in advance.
After Jing Yuan pretended to be sick, he really promoted the Grand Astrologer Fu Xuan and asked her to temporarily take over the position of general and handle subsequent matters.
As the Dragon Lord, Lu Qi has a nominal position in the Cloud Cavalry Army, but it is not a civilian position, so it has nothing to do with her.
Like Jingyuan, she never left the house and just squatted in Jingyuan's residence, playing with his hair.
Brother Jingyuan had a good temper, even to the point of being a bit lazy. He lazily leaned back in his chair, his head tilted back. His white hair, as fluffy as white clouds, draped behind him in a messy pattern, like a lion's fur.
Lu Qi inserted her fingers into his hair, and her soft little hands held his long hair. After combing it, she divided it into two parts without hesitation and started to tie it into two ponytails.
She was not good at braiding people's hair, and occasionally pulled Jing Yuan's scalp and hurt him. He hissed several times and complained to Lu Qi to be gentler.
"Don't move," Lu Qi said, slowing down his movements. "It's almost done, almost done."
Jingyuan yawned and closed his eyes to catch up on his sleep.
The young people who were full of energy in the past have now changed both physically and mentally, just like a mobile phone with low battery that has turned on power-saving mode.
After Lu Qi tied his hair into two ponytails, she took out her newly bought mobile phone and took many photos. Then, she sent them to the chat group with the Starry Sky Train group without hesitation.
[I have been reborn (Lu Qi): Look, the general has twin ponytails.]
The people on the train were still helping with odd jobs. Fu Xuan, who was temporarily taking over the general's duties, complained that Jing Yuan always used "special forces" and he himself did not show any mercy when using the Starry Sky Train.
At the moment, Lu Qi and Jing Yuan are resting, while the other three are running around.
[Zhao Xiangji (March 7): Isn't the general bedridden? He looks energetic... he doesn't look sick.]
[Galaxy Batman (Qiong): Can I sell this photo?]
[Zhao Shijia (March 7): Hey! This is violating the General's privacy!]
[Warehouse Manager (Dan Heng): He looks very tired]
[I've been reborn (Lu Qi): No one's complaining about these twintails? I've been wearing them for a long time...]
Lu Qi said this pitifully, and the rest of the people, including Dan Heng, were forced to give good comments. Only then did she put away her phone with satisfaction.
Jing Yuan had already woken up from his state of resting with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile in his golden eyes.
"Is that enough to relieve your anger?"
"Not yet," Lu Qi said hypocritically, "unless you treat me to a meal."
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"Luo Fu's tea and snacks!"
It was still early, and Jing Yuan didn't need to go to work for the time being. It was a rare leisurely vacation, so he listened to Lu Qi's idea and planned to take her out for dinner.
Before going out, Lu Qi saw a white kitten outside the door. This time it was a real kitten, with a small golden bell on its neck. It came over and rubbed against Lu Qi's legs cutely.
"Ah...kitten, let me kiss you!"
Jingyuan changed his clothes and came out. He took off the twin ponytails on his head and tied them into a half-high ponytail again.
Her long, fluffy hair fell on her shoulders, with a few strands playfully sticking out. It was obvious that she didn't pay much attention to the smoothness of her hair when she was combing it.
The girl with white hair and golden eyes held the kitten and rubbed its head against hers. The kitten obediently stuck out its tongue and licked her face.
"Ah...why are you so clingy, just like Mimi?"
Lu Qi played with the kitten for a while, then mercilessly put it down. The kitten kept circling around her feet, stretching out its little claws to pull at the hem of her skirt, wanting Lu Qi to hold it.
It must be an addiction.
Lu Qi thought deeply and reached out to rub the kitten's belly.
So cute, it makes you happy to pet a cat.
She didn't have a kitten in real life, but she didn't expect to be able to play one in the game... Unfortunately, too much time has passed, and the kitten she first raised would not have such a long lifespan.
"I also left some photos of Mimi, do you want to see them?"
"look!"
The kitten had grown up a bit, much bigger than when Lu Qi left the game, and Jing Yuan had raised it until it was plump. It lay lazily on the sofa in Lu Qi's room, like a huge ball of fur.
As soon as she saw this house, Lu Qi thought of her belongings that were put away by Dan Feng.
"Where on earth are my assets?"
"Perhaps Dan Heng knows?"
"It seems a bit too quiet for just the two of us to have tea. Should we call the people from the Star Train over?"
Jing Yuan nodded in agreement, it was just a matter of a few more pairs of chopsticks, the money was not a big deal.
Anyway, he had low material desires and had saved a lot of money over the past few hundred years. He would occasionally subsidize Yan Qing, who had no food to eat because he bought too many swords, and save the rest.
Even for clothes, he would just go directly to the ready-made store to buy ready-made clothes. He was so casual that he didn't seem like a general from Luofu.
The people on the Starry Sky Train came over very quickly. The gray-haired young man in the middle lit up his eyes when he saw Lu Qi, like a kitten seeing meat. Without saying a word, he quickly rushed over to take the position on the other side of Lu Qi.
Lu Qi glanced at him and asked him with interest.
"Can you use chopsticks?"
"meeting!"
The gray-haired young man said happily, taking the dishes that Lu Qi had washed for him.
The snacks at Xianzhou were delicious. Everyone, especially Sanyueqi and Qiong, enjoyed the meal the most, and Lu Qi was not much behind.
After the meal, they established a deep friendship. March Seventh also happily asked Xianzhou if there were any other delicious and fun places.
When it comes to playing, Lu Qi is full of energy. She completely forgot why she was looking for people on the Starry Sky Train. Jing Yuan next to her ate and drank his fill, and rested for a while before patting her on the head.
He signaled Lu Qi to get to the point, and Lu Qi calmed down a bit.
Dan Heng sat opposite her, eating the food in front of him with his eyes lowered. He was very quiet, so quiet that his presence was almost invisible.
But the moment Lu Qi's eyes fell on him, the black-haired young man raised his eyelashes, and there was a hint of confusion on his calm face.
"What's wrong?"
It was a very familiar question, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at her was as gentle as ever.
Lu Qi smiled, revealing two pointed little fangs.
"I want to ask about Dan Feng."
Hearing those two words, Dan Heng frowned subconsciously.
"Ah, don't be angry for now," Lu Qi said, pouring a cup of tea for Dan Heng across the table. "It's like this, you should also know my situation..."
She scratched her face and briefly recounted her story of resurrection in front of the people on the Star Train.
San Yueqi looked at Qiong, then at Lu Qi, and suddenly realized.
No wonder she always felt that these two people got along so well. It turned out that they had both been resurrected once.
"Then how long have you been born?" Qiong asked curiously.
Lu Qi: "I don't know about this either. Should I ask Jing Yuan?"
Two pairs of eyes of similar color looked at the leisurely Jing Yuan. Luo Fu's general smiled and said comfortably, "Now that you have recovered your memory, does age still matter to you?"
"You're right," Lu Qi thought thoughtfully, "No matter how you look at it, I'm older than you, Brother Qiong."
"That's hard to say," Qiong protested. "What if I'm older than you?"
"But you've lost your memory, haven't you?"
It made so much sense that Qiong didn't know how to refute it. Instead, Jing Yuan was teasing her from the side.
"When will you change your bad habit of claiming random brothers?"
"Then you can call me Sister Lu Qi first, and I'll think about it."
The topic was interrupted for a while, and Lu Qi's attention returned to Dan Heng.
"Although you have transformed into a new you, you should be able to dream about some of your past. I don't mean to treat you as Dan Feng. I just have an important question to ask you."
"you say."
"Did you dream about... where Dan Feng put my things?"
"……ah?"
"Look... I died before, and Jing Yuan said that Dan Feng was responsible for handling my belongings. Seven hundred years ago, I lived in Dan Feng's house—oh no, not living together. Don't look so regretful! San Yue Qi, I'm very disappointed in you!"
Lu Qi said a lot in one breath, took a sip of tea, and continued.
"I did pay the rent... although I owed Danfeng a lot of money. Anyway, Danfeng packed my things for me. Did you have any dreams about any relevant clues?"
The girl with white hair and golden eyes stared at him expectantly, but the vertical pupil in the middle did not make people feel cold, but made her even more adorable.
The feeling of seeing her in the dream was pain and despair. Whenever Danheng thought of that smiling face, his heart would ache, and he would be trapped in the endless past, unable to break free.
Now that we meet again, that tearful nightmare has dissipated like a heavy fog, replaced by a quickened heartbeat.
Plop, plop.
As long as I see her, it is difficult to take my eyes off her. The only way to hide the emotions in my eyes is to lower my eyelashes.
Just as Qiong could openly say the word "want", he also had similar feelings.
I want to stand with her, hold her hand, and kiss her face.
It was such a strange and overbearing emotion that he couldn't tell whether it was Dan Feng's remaining feeling that he was constantly struggling to forget, or his own.
"I'm sorry," Dan Heng lowered his brows again and said softly, "I never dreamed of it."
"Oh, what a pity..." Lu Qi muttered, holding her chin with her hands, showing obvious disappointment.
"Are there any valuable things in your... belongings?" San Yue Qi said those two words with difficulty, and then asked her curiously.
It’s not that expensive, Lu Qi never buys anything expensive.
She only buys what she likes and doesn't pay much attention to the price...
But those things contained a past that she didn't want to forget.
"I wouldn't say it's expensive," Lu Qi said, "but in my heart, its value can't be measured by money."
Now there are six people, those who have passed away are gone, those who have been reborn are reborn, those who are struggling in pain have decided to forget the past, and those who stay can only look up at the back of the past, leaving behind only nostalgia.
Lu Qi wanted to move forward, but couldn't let go of the past.
“Those are the memories I have with my old friends.”
