648 – I Don’t Remember
TL : GoldenLung
Right at this moment, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt someone tugging on his sleeve. When he turned around, he saw Bai Xiuxiu pulling him.
“What’s wrong? Are you moved by the song?” Lan Xuanyu laughed.
Bai Xiuxiu had a strange expression. “You, can you bring me to see Mr Le? Aren’t you quite familiar with him?”
Lan Xuanyu was taken aback. “You became Uncle Le’s fan too? No problem! He should be looking for me today. Come back to the dorm with me, then.”
“En.” Bai Xiuxiu nodded gently.
Lan Mengqin came over from the side. “Why do you want to kidnap our Xiuxiu to your dormitory? Lan Xuanyu, I’m telling you, be careful. You’re not allowed to bully her.”
Lan Xuanyu said in annoyance, “I don’t think I can beat her. Who’s bullying who?”
“That’s true.” Lan Mengqin chuckled.
Leaving the concert was quite long because there were too many people attending the concert. After about an hour, Lan Xuanyu brought Bai Xiuxiu back to his dorm.
When they returned to the dormitory, Lan Xuanyu realized that there was something wrong with Bai Xiuxiu’s emotions. She kept her head lowered as though she was thinking about something.
Lan Xuanyu asked, “Xiuxiu, are you alright?”
Bai Xiuxiu shook her head gently. “I think I’ve seen him before. I think so.”
“You mean Uncle Le?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
“En.” Bai Xiuxiu nodded.
“Isn’t that normal? He’s an idol! I think I’ve seen him on television before too,” Lan Xuanyu said.
“No.” Bai Xiuxiu shook her head. “You don’t understand. I just want to ask him face to face.”
“En, he should be coming later,” Lan Xuanyu said. “We’ve already accepted the mission this afternoon and will be setting off the day after tomorrow. How are you adapting to your breakthrough?”
Bai Xiuxiu said, “Not bad, I guess. Thanks to senior Demon Queen helping me, I’m getting used to it quite quickly. I can go into actual combat now.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Then call Mengqin tomorrow and let’s familiarize ourselves with our new abilities together. Oh right, Huihui and Yuge originally wanted to break through today, but I had to see Uncle Le tonight and couldn’t be by their side. We have to set off again the day after tomorrow and I’m worried that they won’t have enough time to break through. If they can’t, we’ll talk about it when we get back from this mission. It shouldn’t be difficult to be careful with a level three mission.”
“This is our first compulsory mission,” Bai Xiuxiu said. “You must be careful as well. There are so many people in the class. I think we can split up and coordinate. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if you command over 30 people.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded. “I’m also considering this. After you and Mengqin break through, you will be able to hold your own. We’ll see how to distribute it then. The main thing is still the situation on Dragon Source Planet. I’ve already applied for information after accepting the mission today. They said that information will be given to us when we board the spacecraft heading to Dragon Source Planet, and I have to study it carefully on the way. I just hope that those dragon-type dragons really have a certain amount of dragon bloodline and can be influenced by me and Fatty Qian. That way, the mission will be much easier. Who knows, there might be additional gains.”
While they were talking, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt something and turned to look at the stairs. He saw Mr Le, who had changed into casual clothes, walking down with a smile.
“Uncle Le,” Lan Xuanyu called out excitedly and quickly walked over.
Mr Le smiled. “I’ve made you worried. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Lan Xuanyu asked, “What happened to you today? Did you feel unwell all of a sudden?” He knew that Mr Le was very strong. The scene of him destroying a warship with his bare hands was still deeply ingrained in his heart.
Mr Le said, “I’ve lost some of my past memories, and I can’t recall them yet. Whenever I try to recall them, I get a headache. I don’t know why, but when I saw that sculpture in your Dragon King Square today, it seemed to remind me of something and gave me a headache. Thankfully, you came over and with you there, it seemed to be very helpful in easing my emotions. Otherwise, the concert today might really have been affected.”
Lan Xuanyu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s great that you’re fine. Uncle Le, let me introduce you. This is Xiuxiu, Bai Xiuxiu, my classmate.”
Bai Xiuxiu stood up and stood behind Lan Xuanyu. She naturally heard the conversation between Lan Xuanyu and Mr Le.
“You, do you recognize me?” Bai Xiuxiu probed Mr Le.
Tang Le looked at her and sized her up before shaking his head in confusion. “This is our first time meeting, right, little girl?”
Bai Xiuxiu said anxiously, “In the sea. In the sea, sharks, do you remember? Great white sharks.”
Tang Le was stunned. He thought for a moment and shook his head in confusion. “I don’t really know what you’re talking about. I’ve lost many of my past memories. Do you know me?”
Bai Xiuxiu was taken aback as well. Could it be that this wasn’t the person in her memory? Yes, he was slightly different from that person. Even his temperament seemed different. But they really looked alike! They were too alike.
Lan Xuanyu looked at Tang Le and then at Bai Xiuxiu. “Xiuxiu, does Uncle Le look like someone you know? What is his relationship with you?”
Bai Xiuxiu lowered her head and said, “Benefactor.”
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “Then it doesn’t matter, as long as you’re not enemies. Uncle Le can’t recall his past, it’ll give him a headache. Maybe you know him, or maybe not. It’s all in the past. Even if Uncle Le is your benefactor, he won’t let you repay his kindness.”
Bai Xiuxiu raised her head again and looked at Mr Le seriously. Tang Le only smiled at her but his eyes were still vacant. He really didn’t have any memories of this girl.
After a long while, Bai Xiuxiu said, “Maybe I got the wrong person. Xuanyu, I’ll go back first.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow.” Lan Xuanyu sent Bai Xiuxiu out before returning to face Mr Le.
Mr Le looked at him with a smile and said, “She’s not an ordinary classmate, right? She’s quite pretty. Her aura is stable and her strength is not bad.”
Lan Xuanyu chuckled and said, “She might be my future girlfriend. When I become an adult, I will work hard.”
Mr Le laughed. “You’re preparing for yourself in advance! It’s quite good. Our Xuanyu is so handsome, there must be many girls who like you.”
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “Uncle Le, why do I feel like you’re praising yourself? The girls who like you are probably all over the Federation. Or rather, how many girls in the entire Federation like you? But I’ve never heard of your scandals. Tell me quietly, do you have a girlfriend?”
Mr Le was stunned. “No!”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Why not? You can have one, right? It’s great to have a girlfriend who can accompany you. But are celebrities not allowed to date?”
Mr Le shook his head. “I’ve never thought about this.” Le Qingling’s figure naturally appeared in his mind. He wasn’t stupid, and he didn’t know how many times Le Qingling had hinted to him. But for some reason, he didn’t have that kind of feeling towards Le Qingling.
Back then, Le Qingling saved him from the sea and brought him home. To him, Le Qingling was like a little sister, like family. But he just couldn’t become her lover.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t considered trying, but every time this happened, he would realize that his heart was filled to the brim without a single gap. He didn’t know what was in his heart, but he just couldn’t have that kind of feelings for Le Qingling.
But even so, Le Qingling didn’t choose to leave him or fall in love with someone else. She just followed him without any regrets and became his manager.
