Bianca blushed and stuffed the box into Luo Chen's hand, her voice barely audible: "I was thinking of giving it to you the day I left, but I couldn't wait any longer."
Luo Chen was taken aback, then, remembering the meaning behind giving this gift, he said seriously, "Have you thought it through?"
Bianca understood the unspoken meaning, nodded firmly, and looked at him shyly.
"Um, close your eyes first."
Luo Chen put away the box and told Bianca to close her eyes. Bianca did so, and then the shop assistant quietly handed Luo Chen a necklace.
Luo Chen gently placed the necklace around Bianca's neck, feeling a cool sensation on her skin. Bianca opened her eyes and looked at Luo Chen with surprise.
Bianca was wearing a silver necklace with the main part shaped like a sun and a glittering ruby set in the center.
"This is for you, do you like it?"
Bianca nodded happily. If there weren't other people around, she would have jumped into Luo Chen's arms and kissed him right now.
"Wear it if you like; it's a gift from me."
Luo Chen told Bianca he was going to pay the bill and asked her to wait outside for a moment. After Bianca went out, the clerk handed Luo Chen a bag containing several boxes.
Chapter 76 You are confused
After leaving the jewelry store, Bianca led Luo Chen to browse a few more stores before they walked out of the commercial street and began to stroll around.
At first, there were quite a few people in the places they passed through, but the number gradually decreased, and in the last few places, they were the only two people. This made Bianca suspicious, but the thought of being alone with Luo Chen made her decide not to worry about it.
After returning home to put down some items, Bianca eventually led Luo Chen to a remote area.
As the sun gradually set, its golden rays bathed the Destiny Airport in a serene and peaceful light, illuminating all the buildings. Bianca, sitting in her chair, gazed at the sun and asked uncertainly, "By the way, does Brother Luo Chen still remember what happened between us?"
"I can't remember the details."
"Really?" Bianca smiled and moved a little closer to Luo Chen. "Would you like to hear the details?"
"I don't really want to."
Luo Chen felt he was being a bit of a spoilsport and gave an awkward smile, but it was true. He probably still remembered some of his memories, but there were some things he didn't remember, especially things from his past, which might even be some embarrassing moments!
"OK then."
Bianca was a little disappointed. She had originally wanted to tell Luo Chen about his dark past in person, but he refused, so she gave up.
"You were so well-behaved when you were little."
Luo Chen suddenly said this, pinching Bianca's cheeks with both hands and making her smile upwards: "And you like to smile, now you're like a deadpan expression."
Bianca pouted, grabbed Luo Chen's wrist, pulled his hands away, and pretended to be angry, staring straight at him.
"You look like a pufferfish."
After saying this, Luo Chen felt Bianca tighten her grip a bit more and quickly apologized. Only then did Bianca release her grip.
"Come on, let's go back."
Bianca stood up, tossed her hair, and pulled Luo Chen along as they hurried home.
"Rita said she's cooking today, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
"Time to eat!"
Luo Chen was in a great mood after spending the whole day with Bianca yesterday, and he even hummed a song as he entered the training ground.
Luo Chen scanned the entire training ground, spotted the members of the second team, jogged over to greet them, and walked to Hishimura Ori's side.
"Himura-neechan, practice your swordplay with me."
Hisumura Ori nodded slightly, picked up two wooden swords from the side and tossed one to Luo Chen, then stepped into the center of the arena first.
Seeing that there was something interesting to watch, the people around stopped their training and left the space to the two of them.
"Why do you think Xiao Chen suddenly sought out Zhi Dui Dao?"
Chen Xuan nudged Liya with her elbow, looking expectantly at the two opposing figures on the field.
"do not know."
Lia sat on the ground, equally looking forward to the duel, wondering who was stronger between Himura Ori and Luo Chen, both of whom were A-rank.
"So who do you think will win?"
"I don't know. In terms of swordsmanship, only Lord Kiyono in the entire headquarters can rival her. Xiao Chen's strength is probably more due to his powerful Honkai energy."
"That's true, after all, Zhi's swordsmanship is a family tradition."
Just as the two were discussing who had a better chance of winning, the two on the field made a move.
Luo Chen adopted the starting stance of the Hokushin Ittō-ryū style and unleashed the Five Slashes Technique at Hishimura Ori. After being parried by Hishimura Ori in succession, Luo Chen remained calm, sheathed his sword, and retreated to unleash a Kesa-zaki.
Himura Ori deflected the attack with a diagonal slash, and while charging forward, she forced Luo Chen to constantly defend with the Nine-Headed Dragon Flash.
Luo Chen barely managed to withstand all the attacks when Hishimura Ori attacked again, unleashing every move of the Flying Sword Style on Luo Chen, except for the ultimate technique, Heavenly Dragon Flash.
"In this situation, Zhi is completely dominating."
Chen Xuan chuckled, looking at Luo Chen who could only defend in the arena, and wondered why he insisted on going to fight Himura Ori. Himura Ori was extremely serious about this; although she would hold back, it was only a little.
Gradually, Luo Chen figured out Himura Ori's attack patterns. He seized an opening and thrust out with his sword, interrupting Himura Ori's continuous attacks.
Himura Ori took a few steps back. Although she still had that indifferent expression, a glint of light appeared in her eyes, indicating that she was beginning to get excited.
"Come again!"
With a soft shout from Himura Ori, she moved like a ghost, rapidly approaching Luo Chen, and swung her sword down heavily, with a force several times greater than before.
Luo Chen raised his sword to parry, deflecting Hishimura Ori's blade as she attacked his side. But Hishimura Ori was faster; her sword was already about to strike Luo Chen.
Luo Chen hurriedly sheathed his sword, turned his body to the side to assume the stance of Su Qin carrying a sword, blocked the attack, and continued to attack.
The two fought evenly, with Luo Chen managing to counterattack several times using his own strength, but each time he was forced back by Himura Ori. Forced to retreat a few steps, Luo Chen raised his sword above his head, signaling Himura Ori to decide the outcome with a single move.
Himura understood, sheathed her sword and assumed that familiar posture, lowering her body and placing her hand on the hilt, ready to draw her sword at any moment.
"Almost over."
Everyone on the sidelines was too afraid to make a sound, lest they disturb the two of them. The entire training ground fell into an unusual silence.
As Luo Chen slashed downwards with force, Hishimura Ori drew her sword and slashed upwards. The moment Luo Chen's sword touched Hishimura Ori's hair, he was struck in the chest by her sword, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.
"It hurts!"
Luo Chen muttered to himself, lying sprawled on the ground, unwilling to get up, but was eventually pulled up by Hishimura Ori.
"Have you studied the Hokushin Ittō-ryū style?"
Hisumura Ori recalled Luo Chen's moves and confirmed that it was the Hokushin Ittō-ryū style, but it would be better to ask him about it.
"I've studied it. But not much."
Luo Chen nodded, handed the knife to Chen Xuan who had run over, and walked back to the sidelines with the two of them.
"The strength is sufficient, and the technique isn't bad either. Overall, there's no problem. But..."
When Himura Ori was giving her evaluation of Luo Chen, she deliberately stopped halfway through, causing everyone around her to stare at her in silence.
"But you have a big problem. Your mind is in turmoil."
Himura Ori expressed her delight at being cheeky, then quickly regained her serious expression and said to Luo Chen, "You didn't adjust your breathing several times just now, and your swordsmanship was clearly a bit too hasty."
"Really? I don't feel anything."
“Of course you didn’t feel anything.” Hisumura Ori flicked Luo Chen’s forehead with her hand, her tone becoming noticeably concerned: “You can’t discover these things on your own.”
"Talk to the people around you if you have something on your mind. Don't keep it bottled up all day long, or you'll hurt yourself."
Gelin flicked Luo Chen's forehead in return, looking at him gently like an older sister caring for her younger brother: "No matter what, you and we can be considered family."
"okay!"
That being said, could he really reveal what he was hiding? Of course not. Even setting aside whether they would believe him, the numerous inconsistencies that had occurred before made Luo Chen suspect that his arrival might have steered the plot astray. Therefore, it was better to keep this matter to himself.
"You're leaving the day after tomorrow, right?"
Only after Gelin said this did the others realize that Luo Chen's time at headquarters was over.
"By the way, Xiao Chen, now that you've graduated, do you want to come to headquarters? If you do, you could be a vice-captain."
Liya hooked her arm around Luo Chen's neck and started promoting her services to him, just like a pyramid scheme member.
"Yes. Xiao Chen, if you come, will you have to give up your position as vice-captain?"
Chen Jin joked, and Luo Chen looked at Ge Lin. Seeing her calm expression, he quickly shook his head: "I have no interest in Ge Lin's position!"
"Why? I really wanted to give it to you."
The people around him chatted and laughed, quickly forgetting about Luo Chen's departure, and began discussing where to take him for a meal later.
Chapter 77 The Last Night
Time flies, and tomorrow will be the day Luo Chen leaves. Although Luo Chen is a little reluctant to leave his family and friends here, there are still people in St. Freya waiting for him to return.
"I wonder how they are?"
Luo Chen muttered to himself, looking at Luo Meng lying on his lap, and gently rubbing her face with his hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Give it one last night and give it a good squeeze."
