Chapter 249 The Problem of Death
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and Lu He leisurely walked out.
"You've been resting inside for so long? Looks like I've been too much~" Xia Lan teased Lu He as she served the dishes.
“That’s right, that’s right~ My darling is so eloquent~” Lu He retorted shamelessly, making Xia Lan blush instantly.
You think you know me? You're incredibly shy, yet you still dare to overestimate yourself and insist on making suggestive remarks!
Looking at Xia Lan's blushing face, Lu He nodded in satisfaction: "Now you know how to be shy? Why weren't you shy when I begged you for forgiveness this afternoon?"
"Hey! You stinky dog! What did you say?!" Xia Lan screamed and punched Lu He, the redness spreading to the base of his neck and behind his ears.
"Oh dear, I was wrong~ My dear wife, I was wrong~" Lu He chuckled and pretended to block Xia Lan from hitting her, laughing very happily.
"You're so annoying~" Xia Lan said coquettishly.
Despite the joking and laughter, Lu He still took out Xia Lan's phone and handed it over: "Shen Tong just called you, I hung up on her..."
I can't hide this from my wife.
Xia Lan couldn't help but recall the cold gun barrel pointed at her that day, and frowned. What was this person up to now?
"What happened?"
"She said she wanted to apologize to you..." Lu He paused, "but I don't think she's trustworthy..."
Lu He had just directly refused Shen Tong's request to let Xia Lan answer the phone; it was just a nameless anger for no reason that made Lu He dislike Shen Tong.
"Are you going to call her back?" Lu He asked tentatively, though she actually wanted to hear "no."
Xia Lan hesitated for a moment: "I'll call her back after I finish eating..."
This was clearly not the answer Lu He wanted to hear, but she remained outwardly calm, pretending to be indifferent, and absentmindedly nodded: "Okay."
This time, Xia Lan surprisingly didn't notice Lu He's little mood, because her mind was filled with thoughts of Shen Yutong being Lu He's ex, and seemingly still a "white moonlight" figure. What kind of tricks was Lu He trying to pull...?
Lu He ate his meal in silence, and planned to go see Zheng Ming afterward to ask about Zhao Jiacheng.
“Lu He…” Xia Lan spoke slowly, as if she had made a decision: “Is there someone you can’t forget?”
She finally asked, because it was really hard not to care. For so long, she had never inquired about her past…
This is the first time I've felt an urgent need to learn about her past...
A person you can't forget? Lu He was stunned for a moment, looking at Xia Lan with a puzzled expression.
"It's... someone who left a deep impression on you... someone really important..." Xia Lan didn't know how to put it. She couldn't just say she wanted to inquire about an unforgettable ex...
A lasting impression? Extremely important?
An image of a woman in red flashed through Lu He's mind... If she had to name a close friend, she did have one—the one who risked her life to save her... She wondered if she was doing well now...
Xia Lan keenly noticed the subtle change in Lu He's emotions; just now, there was a faint trace of pain in her eyes...
Is it about Shen Yutong? Xia Lan's heart clenched.
“I have… a very important friend…” Lu He smiled bitterly. The emperor, Li Cen, who stabbed himself in the heart with a dagger to save her life.
If Li Cen could still remember the friendship between the two, and if her feelings for Lu He hadn't changed, perhaps Lu He wouldn't have been so sad.
She already had Xia Lan in her heart, and there was no way she could reciprocate Li Cen's feelings. She could only lose this close friend who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her, and that feeling was also very painful.
Lu He was unaware that she was lost in her memories.
As Xia Lan looked at every emotion in her eyes, her heart sank deeper and deeper.
"A very good friend?" Xia Lan took this as Lu He's euphemistic way of referring to her ex, which suggested that Shen Yutong must have left a deep regret in her heart...
"Do you... still have feelings for her?" Xia Lan's palms were sweaty, and her hands trembled slightly as she asked this question.
"Huh? What?" Lu He quickly realized that the relationship Xia Lan asked about seemed to be different from the relationship she had just understood: "I'm talking about friends, just friends... a pure comradeship without any other inappropriate feelings!"
"Possessive relationship?" Xia Lan was shocked.
"No! Wait a minute, are you misunderstanding something? It's a teammate relationship in battle, a teammate, not love!" Lu He hurriedly explained, "A very important friend of mine was seriously injured while saving me, and then he didn't remember me. I'm a little sad about losing this friendship!"
Lu He raised three fingers: "I swear to God!"
"Really just friends?" Xia Lan's eyes lit up immediately. It seemed Shen Yutong was lying; it was all unrequited love. "Oh, I see~"
My mood improved considerably immediately.
"I might have to go out for a bit in a bit~" Xia Lan decided to see Shen Yutong alone again, but her gloomy expression had changed, and her smile was more relaxed.
"Okay, then be careful. Call me immediately if there are any problems, okay?" Although Lu He was still worried, she didn't want to seem too petty or restrict her lover's freedom.
System 7440 was still monitoring their heart rate and emotional changes. In the inconspicuous upper left corner, there was a screen that monitored Li Cen's every move.
System number 7440 is reporting to the Supreme Intelligence about the changes in the NPC character Li Cen.
One line on the report stood out: "The programmed entity's cerebral cavernous body has been fluctuating significantly recently, seemingly showing signs of awakening, requiring further instructions..."
