Chapter 28 Fine Wine (Please continue reading)

Zhuang Yan finally held her son, whom she had forgotten for several days.

Hypatia stood behind Zhuang Yan, her short hair falling across her face and obscuring her expression. Compared to the radiant Zhuang Yan, she seemed like a shadowy figure of the former.

Standing there indifferently, quietly, in the dark and damp.

Luo Ji went over and shook hands with Hypatia: "Thank you for taking care of the child all day."

Hypatia, from the shadows, replied in a hoarse voice, "I am his mother too, it's only right."

"Of course, of course." Luo Ji chuckled, then looked at Luo Qing with a knowing look in his eyes: Look at the mess you've made.

Luo Qing picked up an apple from the table and started eating it, ignoring Luo Ji.

It's just finding a mother for Luo Zhenxing, what's the big deal? Even Zhuang Yan's biological mother didn't say anything, so why are you, as her father, having a problem with it?

Also, this "Mom" brought about a brief period of peace between humans and the Trisolarans, you know?

At this moment, Eden seemed to have been through a storm, with medical facilities scattered everywhere that had not been completely dismantled. Medical staff could be seen carrying monitors from time to time, and guards outside the lawn were also hurriedly tidying up something.

"Where are Kanté and Zhang Xiang?" Luo Qing asked, not wanting to be bothered.

"So much has happened here. Kant has gone back to the United Nations to report on his work. Zhang Xiang is organizing the guard team to ensure my safety. After all, he has to continue to guarantee my safety."

"How did you explain to them about your resurrection?"

Luo Qing's words about being brought back to life left Luo Ji speechless.

"Was I really going to die?"

Luo Qing nodded: "Without hibernation, they will surely die."

Luo Ji shook his head helplessly: "How else can I explain it? I can't explain any of your magical abilities. I just let them watch the surveillance footage. Now everyone knows that you chanted a spell, and the whole house came back to life like magic. Then, green light rushed into my body, and I came back to life."

Luo Ji described it to Kant and others in the following way:

"After I developed a high fever, my consciousness struggled in the boiling sea of ​​stars. At that time, I could vaguely feel the doctors' busy work and treatment. My subconscious was already chaotic, but it was still anchored to the clear starlight. I could feel Zhuang Yan, who kept whispering the poems from 'The Night Ship' to me while I was unconscious... Later, the stars went out, and my consciousness drifted further and further away with that ship, eventually dissipating into the dark universe."

I was later awakened by a soft light illuminating the world. The starlight of the universe was gradually lit up, and a vitality, I don't know where it came from, enveloped my crumbling consciousness. In my chaotic mind, order was returning, and the boiling sea of ​​stars was calming down… The universe was as beautiful as in a pastoral era; all the painful things had disappeared. I strolled through a corridor covered with ginkgo leaves and saw Zhuang Yan reflected in the water at the end of the corridor. She was so beautiful, and then I awoke.”

Luo Ji's description...

Kant's face twisted in disbelief.

Zhang Xiang's expression turned ferocious upon hearing this.

Although the two tried their best to understand the meaning behind Luo Ji's words, this stream-of-consciousness speech still shattered their imagination of language.

Not only the Trisolarans, but even they couldn't understand what Luo Ji was saying, but they managed to grasp one meaning.

It was love, it was love that saved the world.jpg
Zhuang Yan won MVP, while Luo Qing was just an easy win.

Luo Qing didn't pursue the matter further, but he gave Luo Ji a piece of advice:
"You need to urge Zhang Xiang to be on high alert from now on and ensure your safety. If all else fails, wake up Da Shi and I'll treat his leukemia. After all, my temporary agreement with the Trisolarans didn't include anything about your safety."

Luo Ji was taken aback: "Are you leaving?"

Luo Qing shrugged: "You should have seen the joint communiqué issued by the PDC, right? I have no choice but to give up on breaking through your defenses. What's the point of staying if you don't leave?"

Luo Ji winked at him: "You can even save me, so you don't have that kind of... that kind of... that kind of method you know."

Hypatia suddenly spoke up: "Sophon asked me to warn you two Wallfacers that your conversation has crossed a dangerous line."

Luo Ji: "..."

Luo Ji turned and stared intently at Hypatia, saying, "Don't think that just because you're Luo Zhenxing's godmother, you can act as an informant for Zhizi's surveillance here."

Hypatia remained unfazed: "Even without me, the Somozi can be projected directly into your eyes. I am merely relaying information. Also, theoretically, I am your second wife."

Luo Ji's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Zhuang Yan, who was standing to the side, also widened her eyes. She immediately shielded Luo Ji behind her and looked at Hypatia with hostility.

Luo Qing walked over and patted Luo Ji on the shoulder: "Look, there's no use me staying here. The great Zhizi is watching us!"

Luo Ji gave up struggling and slumped dejectedly on the sofa: "Fine, you can go. If I have the chance, I'll visit you at your Wallfacer compound. We won't talk about Wallfacer matters, we'll just drink. No matter what, I owe you a life—I also owe Da Shi a life. I owe so many lives."

Luo Qingze added, "There's another thing, the pendant on your chest."

Luo Ji looked down at the light blue pendant on his chest. The pendant emitted a faint glow, and a cool sensation seeped into his heart, making it look like he was wearing a reactor on his chest.

Luo Ji asked curiously, "Where did you find this radioactive ore for me to wear?" "A spirit stone," Luo Qing corrected. "In a sense, a spirit stone is also a type of radioactive ore. You're not wrong. Remember, never take this pendant off unless absolutely necessary. It can save your life in a critical moment."

"So amazing?" Luo Ji asked, fiddling with the pendant.

"It's wrapped up. This thing is very precious. I brought it from my hometown. There are only a few left. Please cherish it."

Luo Ji said seriously, "No matter what, I still want to thank you for saving my life."

"Breaking the barrier is the most important thing for you. I can't help you with this. You're in charge of directly confronting the Trisolarans. I'm leaving."

"Are you really leaving?"

"You really want to leave."

"Why not stay a few more days?"

"I won't stay for more than a few days."

"Alright, you can go now, Kanté, see him out."

"Couldn't you have kept me here a little longer, you son of a bitch?"

Luo Ji pointed at Hypatia: "You inexplicably found a mother for my son? How do you intend to settle this?"

Luo Qing pondered the tactics.

"Second wife?"

Zhuang Yan grabbed a broom and jumped out, striking Luo Qing hard, completely disregarding the kindness of saving her husband's life earlier.

Hypatia took the opportunity to carry Luo Zhenxing away, her miserable little face breaking into a bright smile.

Luo Qing dodged left and right, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator being repeatedly defeated by a mere mortal woman.

Luo Ji stared at the chaotic scene, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

He had a premonition that, given the current situation, even if he lived in the Garden of Eden his entire life, he would never be able to break through the barrier.

These people are really too noisy.

'Perhaps I should leave Eden.'

Thinking of this, Luo Ji spoke up, interrupting everyone.

"Luo Qing, have a drink with me tonight, then leave tomorrow."

Luo Qing gave a shove, sending Zhuang Yan, who was chasing him, flying back onto the sofa along with his broom.

"Drinking... is fine, then let's leave tomorrow."

"I'll go ask the chef to prepare some food."

"The food isn't important, what's important is the wine, is it good wine?"

Luo Ji smiled confidently: "This wine was salvaged six years ago from a small, sealed barrel of excellent wine from a three-masted sailing ship that sank at Cape Horn on a ship sailing from Rotterdam to Faridabad, India!"
I had someone take pictures of it. The experts said the wine is still drinkable, and after more than 300 years of underwater aging, its taste is probably unparalleled. Kant questioned me about this, but thankfully the wine ended up in my hands, and now it's time to open it.

"You've actually managed to endure this long?" Luo Qing exclaimed in surprise.

Luo Ji shook his head: "I was originally going to drink with Da Shi, but you know where Da Shi was that day, so it was delayed."

Luo Qing's expression suddenly became colorful. His memory was pulled back to six years ago, when his forebody was cosplaying as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll) from the hanging beam, and Da Shi led a team of police officers to smash open the door of his laboratory.

"Damn it, another one died."

This was the first sentence Luo Qing heard after transmigrating to this world.

night.

The barrel of wine was placed in the villa's living room, its antique surface inlaid with many seashells. Luo Ji took out a metal tap with a spiral drill bit, specially designed for wooden wine barrels, which he had obtained from the wine cellar. He carefully drilled it into the barrel wall and poured out the first glass of wine, the liquid being an enticing emerald green.

After taking a sniff, he poured a glass for Luo Qing as well.

Suppressing their excitement, the two finally gently touched their glasses, making a soft clinking sound.

"Cheers to this fucked-up world."

Luo Qing and Luo Ji said in unison.
