Luo Chen greeted them one by one, and after they sat down, he took out the gifts he had prepared in advance from his suitcase.
"Aunt Theresa's comics, Sister Himeko's sake, Mei's bracelet, Kiana and Yuno's necklaces, Bronya's game console, and Fu Hua's glasses."
After giving the gift, Luo Chen pulled Mei aside and explained the origin of the bracelet to her.
"This thing was specially made by Dr. Changguang at headquarters. It can store my Honkai energy. You can use it. Try it out during your training. If you run out of Honkai energy, come to me to recharge it."
"so smart!"
Mei's mouth gaped slightly; she hadn't expected the bracelet to have such a function, and she happily accepted it.
After explaining how to use it, Luo Chen walked back and smiled slightly as he watched Kiana playing with the moon necklace around her neck.
"I remember there were three when I bought them, one with the sun, one with the moon, and one with stars. What should I do with the last one?"
"Xiao Chen, where did you get this wine? It's top-quality stuff!"
Himeko shook the wine bottle, wondering if she could get a few more from Luo Chen.
"I just grabbed one of Aunt Kiyono's bottles."
Luo Chen understood Ji Zi's meaning and spread his hands to indicate that he was powerless to help, which Ji Zi could only feel slightly regretful.
"By the way, did you guys clean my dorm? It was so clean when I came back."
"It's Mei-neechan who always comes to clean."
Bronya, playing her game console, blurted it out without hesitation, wanting to see Luo Chen's reaction.
Almost everyone present knew the gist of what happened between Luo Chen and Mei, except for one particular girl who was obsessed with winning Mei's heart. So what others saw as help between classmates, they didn't see it that way at all.
"I see, thank you, Mei."
As Luo Chen said this, he gestured with his eyes for Mei to stay behind, as he had something to say to her. Although the gesture was rather obvious.
"Oh, right, I have some things to take care of, I'll be going now."
Halfway through their conversation, Theresa suddenly spoke up, grabbed Himeko, and started walking outside, with Himeko following suit.
With Theresa leading the way, the others found some excuse to leave, while Kiana was forcibly dragged away by Fu Hua under the pretext of training.
"You guys chat, I'm leaving first."
Yuno was the last to leave. Although she wanted to stay, it was Mei's turn to shine, and she didn't want to make a fool of herself.
The two of them were left in the living room. Luo Chen was about to hug Mei when she pushed him down onto the sofa.
"Mei, what are you doing? Don't put your legs like that!"
Mei's knees were pressed against Luo Chen's thighs, one hand was on the wall, and the other hand was pinching Luo Chen's chin. Her blue-purple eyes were staring straight at him.
Luo Chen was so frightened by Mei's actions that he was speechless, and the atmosphere around him gradually became subtle.
"What exactly is going on between you and that Durandal?"
Just as Luo Chen thought something was about to happen, Mei spoke coldly, standing in front of Luo Chen and looking down at him.
Seeing Mei's expression, Luo Chen chose to follow his heart, quickly stood up from the sofa, pulled Mei's hand and made her sit down, and said cautiously, "Um, Mei, let me explain!"
Mei remained silent, staring coldly at Luo Chen, which terrified him even more. He squatted down beside Mei's legs and confessed everything in detail.
Are you that afraid of me?
Mei pulled Luo Chen back to the sofa, took his hand, and asked softly.
"I'm worried about what might happen to my girlfriend!"
Luo Chen said confidently, but then realized that his voice was a bit loud, so he immediately stopped talking, afraid of upsetting Mei.
Seeing Luo Chen's appearance, Mei chuckled, unable to maintain her indifferent demeanor, and reverted to her usual gentle state.
"I'm not blaming you, I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable."
Mei clutched her chest, lowered her head, and remained silent, leading Luo Chen to believe she was sulking.
"Mei, please don't be angry, okay? I..."
Luo Chen couldn't think of a way to comfort her, since this was something he couldn't control.
"I used to go crazy in front of you guys on screen, saying you were all my wings. But when I actually face this situation, I'm at a loss. I'm really strange."
Luo Chen chuckled self-deprecatingly, preparing to continue comforting Mei, when he was forcibly kissed.
'Are you kidding me? Not again!'
A few minutes later, their lips parted, Mei blushing, and she smiled sweetly at Luo Chen, whose face was also red.
"I'm speechless. Why am I always the one who gets forcibly kissed?!"
Luo Chen became withdrawn. He was clearly the man! So why was he always the passive one?
'It's all Honkai energy's fault!'
Luo Chen shifted the blame to Honkai Energy, since it was all Honkai Energy's fault, not his!
"Um, what if I say I don't mind?"
"what?"
Luo Chen wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing system, otherwise how could he hear this?
“You definitely heard that.”
Mei mercilessly exposed him, whispering her thoughts in Luo Chen's ear.
"Actually, I knew all along that Durandal would make a move on you, and I also knew that you couldn't possibly be limited to just me. Just like you told me before, the future is full of surprises. So I don't mind."
At this point, Mei's smile faded, and she turned to look at Luo Chen seriously, her fingertip pointing at his heart: "However, my tolerance has its limits. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Lady Mei!"
Luo Chen hugged Mei and kissed her face, then spun her around before putting her down.
"Okay, why are you so excited?"
How could I not be excited?
Luo Chen silently complained, planning his future life, even deciding where he would live. As long as he played it safe, he should be able to weather the Queen's arrival.
The phone rang at an inopportune moment. Before Luo Chen could answer, an electronic screen appeared in front of him, showing Theresa's small face.
"Luo Chen, hurry up and pack your things, we have a mission."
"No!"
Chapter 80 The art style gradually becomes more abstract
In the Hyperion command center, Luo Chen, with a dark face, reluctantly directed the staff. Every cell in his body radiated resistance, and he was completely lacking in motivation.
"Aunt Theresa, Sister Himeko, I just got back! How can you send me on a mission like this? How can you live with yourselves?"
Theresa and Himeko were having afternoon tea in the academy's office, smiling as they watched Luo Chen's face turn as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"This is a test for you. You are the Hyperion's prospective captain!"
Himeko put down her teacup, a smile on her face, happy that she didn't have to do it herself.
"Should I thank you for giving me this opportunity?"
Luo Chen gritted his teeth as he looked at the two relaxed individuals. "So you just want to slack off and dump the task on me? Of course I happily accepted!"
After seeing the two off, Luo Chen excitedly stroked the railing and eagerly opened the main control page.
"Boss... oh, no! Captain, good morning!"
Ai-chan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and upon realizing it wasn't Himeko, she quickly changed her address, hurriedly hiding the game console behind her back.
"Ai-chan, you went to steal electricity again?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Ai-chan patted her chest, making a confident promise. Seeing Luo Chen's amused expression, she tried to change the subject.
"Captain, what are you going to do?"
"Of course, we're going to the mission location!"
"okay!"
After marking the target location, Ai-chan granted Luo Chen a series of permissions so that he could give orders.
With the Hyperion successfully taking off, Luo Chen's heart finally settled down. This was the first time he had truly commanded the Hyperion, and it would be terrible if something went wrong.
"Captain, we expect to reach our destination in about half an hour."
"Okay, Ai-chan, you can go now. Remember, don't steal electricity!"
"Know it!"
After Ai-chan left, Luo Chen finally had time to look after his Valkyries. Stepping down from the captain's seat, he found Mei and the other four already waiting there, discussing the mission.
“They’re all here.”
Luo Chen looked at the Valkyries who were already equipped and gave them orders for the mission.
"Our main mission this time is to provide disaster relief in a small town in China. You should already know the details. Remember to cooperate well with the local team. Of course, if any problems arise that you can't solve, just come to me."
"So what if you can't solve it either?"
