Chapter 417 - Call White Black

Chapter 417 Call White Black

“This is…” Lu Yiming freezes for a long time before he realizes he doesn’t know this young woman’s name.

He seems to be too careless. He only meets her twice and doesn’t even know her name. However, he invites her home because of her favors. Lu Yiming regrets it so much especially when Lin Luoran’s eyes lock on the necklace of his sister Lu Shuangshuang directly.

Damn, what makes him so careless?

The alarm in Lu Yiming’s eyes and his sister Lu Shuangshuang’s little pale face bring back Lin Luoran’s attention immediately.

“This jade plate is really nice. I always like some old objects. Sorry for that… Well, my surname is Lin.”

The jade plate is indeed an old object but Lu Yiming’s vigilance has not completely faded away. Lin Luoran has an extraordinary ability and he can’t put his sister in danger. He decides to take things slowly.

Pale-faced Lu Shuangshuang has no idea how alert her brother is. Because of her poor health, this girl has been trapped in this small place and she rarely has a visitor. When she sees Lin Luoran who is also a female, she feels very excited.

“Hey, this sister…Sister Lin… can I call you Sister Lin?” Lu Shuangshuang is not in good health and her face is as small as a palm, which makes people feel compassionate. Lin Luoran remembers that three hundred years had been past after she came out Mount Penglai. In this case, is she now more than three hundred years old?

Although she doesn’t actually live that long and then becomes a kind of knowledgeable old monster, she inevitably feels awkward when a little girl calls her sister even if she is a thick-skinned person.

However, Lu Shuangshuang is really enthusiastic. Seeing how hesitating Lin Luoran is, she thinks Lin Luoran is just shy. She doesn’t even notice Lu Yiming’s desperate signal and invites Lin Luoran to enter the house over and over.

There are two small rooms and one living room and the larger room is only ten square meters. The small living room is too small for three people. Lin Luoran sits down and feels her legs are not able to stretch. However, their home is clean and tidy. She can tell that some furnishings are made by their own hands. Lu Shuangshuang gets water for Lin Luoran and Lu Yiming finally remembers the rape soup he packed before.

“Sister Lin, I don’t know what you like to drink so just I make a glass of lemonade. You can have a taste.”

Lu Shuangshuang comes out with a glass. Two pieces of dried lemon slices slowly stretch out in the glass. With sugar, it tastes sweet and sour. Perhaps because of her state of mind, Lin Luoran thinks it is much better than the mango ice Boss Zheng treated her.

She takes many sips and Lu Shuangshuang feels very happy. Her pale face flushes with joy.

Lu Yiming brings the hot rape soup here. The aroma remains but the leaves have already turned yellow. It’s not nutritive at all. The girl is very happy but Lin Luoran feels sad.

In this world, the price has long been unequal as fruit> vegetable> meat> synthetic food. However, growing Lu Shuangshuang is very satisfied with a bowl of rape soup which is no longer delicious. Lin Luoran who has not yet integrated into the new era frowns silently.

She has to figure out where the jade plate comes from.

Lin Luoran finds an excuse immediately, “Well… there is something wrong with my personal computer and I can’t go back to my place. Can I stay at your house tonight, Shuangshuang?”

Lu Yiming will never want Lin Luoran to stay overnight and he even wants to return the 18000 crystal coins bravely. However, he sees his sister Lu Shuangshuang’s blushing cheeks and he can’t say anything to refuse.

He has been striving for a living for a long time. His sister always stays at home because of her physical condition and rarely communicates with outsiders. She must be very lonely… It’s not usual for Lu Shuangshuang to meet a woman she likes. Lu Yiming is now in a dilemma.

Lin Luoran just sits on the sofa casually and seems to be easy-going. However, Lu Yiming still remembers how she broke the hand of the man of Proud Dragon Business easily. After thinking about it, he decides to maintain the status quo.

Because a guest is here, Lu Yiming has to go to the store to buy some toiletries and food. He just gets a fortune today. Even if he doesn’t have to treat Lin Luoran, he has always been very generous to his sister.

When Lu Yiming leaves, Lu Shuangshuang talks more. Without her brother who has always been worried about her, she is much more active. She takes Lin Luoran to visit her room and shows her a small bone sculpture on the counter. It is said to be the first mutant monster Lu Yiming hunts. He carved its bone into a bear as a souvenir for Lu Shuangshuang.

There are also little rabbits made of thick fibers whose red eyes are lovable, just like their owner Lu Shuangshuang. Because of her poor health, this girl is trapped in this small world and she always has a fantasy for the outside world. Her eyes are moving, full of ignorance.

After introducing herself, Lu Shuangshuang asks Lin Luoran again.

“Sister Lin, can I also visit your house?”

Lin Luoran touches her soft and yellow hair. She nods, “Of course, my home is in Yueyang District. You can come to my home whenever you want.”

Lu Shuangshuang raises her face, “Do you mean the Yueyang District nearest Mount Jun? It’s so beautiful and the public security there is good. No wonder Sister Lin can’t go home without your computer. ”

“Oh, have you been to Mount Jun?”

As expected, Lu Shuangshuang shakes her head, “The federation has designated Mount Jun Island as a key protected area. Every year, only some leaders can go to worship Mortal Heart Fairy. We ordinary people don’t get the chance to even think about it. But my brother said that Mount Jun is very beautiful. He used to catch shrimp when he was a kid. Unfortunately, we moved house later… ”

Lu Shuangshuang is very honest. Before Lin Luoran gets her to talk, she has almost told her the situation of the Lu family. At this time, it is summer. An artificial energy hood over the Dongting City cannot completely isolate the heat. The air conditioner of the Lu’s house has already broken down. Lu Shuangshuang feels embarrassed and Lin Luoran proposes to go to places under the vines to cool down.

Lu Shuangshuang pats her own head, “Sister Lin, I can treat you grapes.”

Summer is definitely the season of ripening grapes. Lin Luoran doesn’t know what breed this vine is. It’s fruitful but the size is very small and it tastes sour. Even so, children from this building often come here to steal it.

Lu Shuangshuang feels very happy and proud that her guest is having the grape she takes care of so much.

In fact, the grape is incredibly sour. Only in places like slums of the new era will they be valued.

Thinking that the two children may be descendants of her old friends, Lin Luoran feels very guilty as an elder. She owns so much but she did nothing for them.

When Lu Yiming finishes shopping, he carries a small half-pack rice and a large piece of slightly tender mutant frog meat. There are also a few tomatoes and green beans. Some kelp from the Dongting Lake is unbelievably expensive and he only bought a ball of it.

Everything is done for her so Lin Luoran says righteously that she cannot stay here for free. She insists she should cook tonight.

Lu Yiming feels suspicious and Lin Luoran says eloquently.

“Why? Are you afraid I’ll poison you?”

Under his sister’s watery eyes, the brother can only give up. He hands over the ingredients to Lin Luoran.

Technology is improving and the electric cooker has become very convenient. People can cook rice on the bottom while vegetables on the small compartment separately. The fire and seasoning are accurate because Lu Yiming has adjusted it. Lu Yiming feels very surprised when he sees Lin Luoran going out and being back with a bunch of strange and unknown spices.

Of course Lin Luoran doesn’t buy them from store. She just makes some excuses to get spices from space.

She has also changed all the ripened vegetables bought by Lu Yiming with space products. The mutant frog meat is a bit difficult to handle. There are so many monster meat nourished by Reiki in space that she can’t eat them up in a hundred years. She randomly selects a large piece of wild boar meat and carries it here.

Lu Yiming grits his teeth, “Doesn’t your PC break down… Sister Lin?”

The teenager says the words “Sister Lin” with full strength but Lin Luoran says like nothing happens, “Of course it is. I changed goods with mutant monster inner bolus… the boss wants me to be his customer next time very much!”

She is acting like “I have tons of inner boluses” and Lu Yiming is speechless.

Of course, there are TV programs in the new era. However, they are difficult to survive because people don’t pursue entertainment as they were hundreds of years ago. Trendy dramas and soap operas cannot survive since no one wants to feed entertainers with his taxes. Serious news and military films with the theme of the Earth Defense War are the only things left on TV.

The kitchen is too small and it’s totally not enough for two people together. Lu Shuangshuang is pushed out by Lin Luoran to watch TV. The little girl watches a role of a federal hero on the TV and her eyes are shining.

“Brother, you once said that our ancestors are also war heroes. Did you lie to me?”

Lu Yiming rubs her sister’s hair with love, “You fool, of course your brother won’t lie to you.”

Lu Shuangshuang sighs, “But there is not even one federation hero whose surname is Lu. Brother, you are coaxing me again.”

Lu Yiming stares at the kitchen and stops talking.

Lin Luoran lowers her head and she focuses on doing the reduction process of braised pork, as if she doesn’t hear the whispering conversation between the brother and sister.

Dinner is served under the vines. A small square table is filled with dishes. The evening is the working time of air converters so the entire Dongting city is windy. The breeze brings coolness for the summer and the aroma of dishes spreads everywhere.

A lot of residents upstairs open their windows to check the source of the aroma and some people pretend to pass by inadvertently to ask what the Lu family eats tonight.

It tastes so good and spicy.

Lu Shuangshuang eats a few pieces of griddled frog meat continually. The tip of her nose is so red because of the chilli but she still wants to have more.

Even alert Lu Yiming has to admit that Lin Luoran is an excellent cook. This is the best food he has ever had. Even in the former Lu family, there was not such delicious food.

Lu Yiming eats three large bowls of rice in a row. Braised pork is so delicious. Why did he never find the mutant pig meat is so delicious in the past?

Lin Luoran only has a bowl of rice because there are a few children around the Lu family table who refuse to leave. Lu Shuangshuang is a party person. Lu Yiming doesn’t like them but he still invites these children to have dinner together.

They almost lick the dishes. Lu Shuangshuang smiles so Lu Yiming also feels very happy.

…

Night arrives soon. Lu Shuangshuang falls asleep in bed but Lin Luoran opens her eyes.

The single bed is not large enough for two people. Lin Luoran doesn’t mind it. She just hears Lu Yiming whispering on the phone in the yard.

The personal computer is like the communicator of Special Forces with more functions. It can also be used as a communicator.

“… the best gene evolution fluid costs one hundred thousand crystal coins? Ok, I know. Thank you. I will contact you if I need it… ”

Cutting off the communication, Lu Yiming stares at the moon in a daze.

Because the entire Dongting City is covered with a protective layer, the sky and air both look dirty. The soft moonlight before the new era has long become an unreproducible beauty. With the advent of the interstellar age, the beautiful legend about the moon is destroyed. The representative meaning given by the poets and writers is gone. Lu Yiming has no special feelings about thinking under the moon.

He is just thinking about how to get one hundred thousand crystal coins.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t use the so-called gene evolution fluid on Shuangshuang… She is weak by nature. Her body is too fragile to endure the gene evolution fluid.”

Lin Luoran appears at the door without anyone noticing.

Lu Yiming’s face changes. He looks at his sister’s room nervously and is relieved when he realizes it is peaceful there.

“Relax. Shuangshuang are sleeping and she won’t wake up.” In order to make the girl sleep soundly, Lin Luoran also used a trace of Wakan.

But Lu Yiming obviously doesn’t appreciate it. He lowers his voice and says anxiously, “What did you do to my sister?”

Seeing the jade plate hanging down from Lin Luoran’s hand, Lu Yiming feels dazzling. He is regretting that he opens the door to a dangerous person. Sure enough, this woman comes for the jade plate… Borrowing personal computer, sending the inner bolus, meeting by chance in the market… everything is arranged on purpose by this woman, isn’t it?

Seeing how his look changes and secretly accumulating strength in his hand, Lin Luoran flicks the jade plate, “Shuangshuang is very cute. I can understand your emotions. To tell you the truth, she has suffered a lot in her mother’s womb. She is plagued by a disease. Using gene evolution fluid means death for her. However, if you do nothing, she will never turn 20. ”

Lu Yiming almost falls down.

“You can leave with the jade plate. Don’t disturb me and my sister… If anything happens to Shuangshuang, I will never let you go even I become a ghost!”

Lin Luoran smiles and throws the jade plate to Lu Yiming.

“I mean I can save her. Do you believe it? I can make her as healthy as ordinary people, or maybe even better… Do you believe it? ”

Do you believe it? I can save her.

If someone else says this, Lu Yiming will drive him away with a big stick. However, since she does not want the jade plate, why does she want to help his sister?

Lu Yiming can’t figure out Lin Luoran’s intention. He stumbles for a while.

Lin Luoran makes a gesture and invites him to sit down under the vines.

“Don’t be so nervous. Maybe, you can tell me about your ancestors. Shuangshuang said that your ancestors were heroes.”

The night breeze is cool and the vine leaves move as the wind blows, making a little sound.

Lin Luoran’s eyes are as bright as stars. He can feel the power of support from them.

He and his sister are homeless and miserable since childhood so it’s hard for Lu Yiming to believe in strangers. Surprisingly, he can see the kindness of elders from the eyes of Lin Luoran.

The teenager lowers his head and struggles. He finally decides to tell the story buried in his heart.

His ancestor is a federal hero. As time passes by, how many people can remember his ancestor who made outstanding achievements? Tonight, he wants to be unruly for once.

The moon is in the middle of the sky. As the teenager tells the story, Lin Luoran suddenly understands something. She feels bitter sometimes and she also smiles from time to time.

…

Many years ago, the earth was still in the old era. There was a fatty whose eyes were almost invisible. He once fought with Luodong in the classroom.

The one who knows nothing fears nothing. He even tore the textbook of Training Qi of cultivator Huang Weijian.

In the shadow of the parasol tree, Luodong and Huang Weijian were kidnapped by the Blood Line. The chunky teenager approached and handed Lin Luoran a note with car registration number on it. He narrowed his eyes, “Sister, go to save Luodong immediately. ”

The chubby teenager gradually grew up. He was still a peacockish fop but he was decent and faithful to friends.

He was overjoyed when he got the jade plate in the Qins’ Villa.

When he touched the Grade Five flying sword, he loved it so much but still gave it to Luodong.

He said, “We are good brothers. It is the same no matter who is the owner.”

Time passed by but he was still short and stout in Lin Luoran’s memory. She can’t figure out how this tricky young boy could one day become a hero of the federation.

However, time lapses. It has been more than two hundred years since he passed by.

The chunky teenager in her memory makes Lin Luoran shed tears.
