Starry Sky Railway: Start with some fireworks and have some fun

“It’s a businessman’s intuition. After all, that guy told me before that he was coming to Pinocchio, and I remember you and Qinglan were together on Feiyun Star before.”

Qinglan smiled and, mimicking Hanabi's gesture, touched her lips, making a cute expression.

"Oh, yes, that's true. But I only met him once there, and then we went our separate ways. So he came to Pinocchio too! That guy is so inconsiderate, he didn't even tell me he was coming."

Sand Gold narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled. "I see! But you're fools, so finding each other should be easy for you!"

"Please, we're fools, not detectives. Finding people isn't our job! Besides, do you know how many people Pinocchio has gathered? And I have my own things to do; I don't have time to help you find him. By the way, what do you need him for?"

Sand Gold sighed, "What else could it be? Trying to win over partners! Since we can't find him, Miss Fool, could you perhaps..."

"You should find someone else to cooperate with! Goodbye!"

Qinglan activated her Flash without warning, giving Shajin no chance to speak, after all, this guy's mission was to acquire Pinocchio!

Although he didn't know what methods the man would use, he didn't want to get involved. After all, if things continued like this, the company would inevitably clash with the family, and it might even escalate into war, so running away was the best option at this point.

Watching Hanabi run off, Sand Gold couldn't help but sigh. "So it really didn't work out? Looks like it's more reliable to ask Qinglan... Haha, alright! He doesn't seem very reliable either. I'll go ask that guy Ladio! Hey! Since everything isn't ready yet, let's not check in yet!"

.........

After leaving the sand gold, Qinglan took a short stroll around the hall. It was quite a few people who came to participate in the Harmonious Music Ceremony, and he even encountered quite a few people who tried to chat him up.

After all, as the cutest girl in the entire universe, it's common for Hanabi to be approached by strangers. Of course, it's also possible that they're after Hanabi's bounty, but these guys don't dare to act recklessly on Tong Xie's turf, so they can only tentatively inquire about his schedule.

However, Qinglan would not allow these people to take advantage of him. Just as the others were recklessly trying to lay a hand on him, Qinglan unhesitatingly raised his voice and shouted:

"Help! Indecent assault! There's a pervert trying to harass a young girl! Someone save me!" His voice was sharp and piercing, as if it could penetrate the entire space and attract the attention of the people around him.

This sudden shout made those who originally harbored ill intentions towards Hanabi back down, after all, they were still respectable figures in the universe. As a result, they were immediately labeled as perverts upon arriving in Pinocchio, a truly humiliating situation.

Qinglan shook her head helplessly as she watched them run away in such a disheveled state. "It was a bit of fun, but not much. I'd better go back and keep my little firefly company!"

Chapter 94 I'm not afraid of her, but I'm afraid of forgetting you

Qinglan gently stroked Hanabi's hair. He had been wandering around outside for half a day, and apart from running into Kakawasha, which gave him a pleasant surprise, everything else was just average and uninteresting.

Helpless, Qinglan had no choice but to return to Hanabi's room and wait for Hanabi to wake up.

As time went by, Qinglan lost track of how long she had been waiting; it seemed that this time, the dream-entering time with fireworks had taken much longer.

Just as he was drifting off to sleep, half-awake, Hanabi's eyes suddenly opened without warning. Her gaze slowly turned to Qinglan beside her, and when she saw Qinglan standing guard by her side, Hanabi almost instinctively stretched out her arms, as if wanting to give the person in front of her a hug.

Because Hanabi's control over her facial expressions was so masterful, Aoran had no way of knowing whether what Hanabi was showing was just an act or a genuine expression of her feelings.

However, faced with this situation, Qinglan didn't have time to think too much. She couldn't help but open her arms and hug Hanabi tightly.

"How's it going? Is the actor you chose compatible with you?"

"She didn't want to participate in my next scenes, and she was a little upset, even though I had spent so much time playing with her."

"Haha, no normal person would accept that! As long as she's having fun, that's all that matters. At least she participated in this scene! Speaking of which, it's about time you revealed some information about your actress's identity to me!"

Upon hearing Qinglan's words, Hanabi lowered her head, her face completely devoid of joy.

"Sigh! Darling, I will never provoke Yi Zhe again."

Upon hearing Hanabi finally reveal the person's identity, Qinglan blinked in surprise, "The [actor] you're talking about is a Memory Maker, a Memory Maker from the Flowing Light Memory Garden?"

Hanabi nodded. "Her name is Black Swan. That person directly altered both my and Sambo's memories, and we only regained them after she left. I'm so afraid she even erased my memories of you... no, the moment my memories were altered, I felt like I couldn't remember anything at all, including you!"

Qinglan didn't know how to evaluate Huahuo anymore. She had actually provoked a Memory Master, after all, memory is a mysterious and elusive thing.

He was actually thinking that if he had no memory at all, he would be like a blank sheet of paper being painted with the colors of the world. Would he still be a masked fool? Would he still be himself?

That is why Qinglan never makes enemies with the people of Liuguang Yiting.

Seeing that Hanabi had already suffered, Qinglan couldn't help but rub her little head. "Alright! Little Hanabi, even if you've lost your memory, I can help you get it back. Just don't provoke her anymore, okay? You suffered this time for not bringing me along! But there aren't many people who can scare our little Hanabi!"

Hanabi trembled slightly, gently resting her head on Aoran's shoulder, a hint of fear in her eyes: "What I fear is not her, but... the part of myself that might lose all memories of you! That feeling... I never want to experience it again."

You see, she had finally waited until Qinglan, that blockhead, came to his senses and made their feelings clear, but now this precious memory could be so easily tampered with, which made countless terrifying images flash through her mind.

For example, someone might tamper with her memories, causing her to fall in love with someone else; or erase Qinglan's memories of her, making him forget her and fall in love with someone else instead; or even worse, things might happen...

The deeper Hanabi thought about it, the less she dared to imagine it. Seeing this, Aoran couldn't help but reach out and gently pat her back, softly comforting her.

"Don't worry, the memory dwellers of the Flowing Light Memory Court have rules and won't easily alter other people's memories. Don't think about this anymore. Think about other things. At least today, wasn't the performance you did with Old Sambo and her quite interesting?"

"But the price is high! Sigh! Looks like I'll have to think more about the consequences when I'm looking for fun in the future."

Qinglan immediately rubbed Hanabi's cheek and said, "Alright, it's all over now, don't dwell on it. But I don't think your next script includes any scenes where you kick me out, right?"

Hanabi said softly, "No, and even if there were, I wouldn't want to be separated from you."

Qinglan smiled. "By the way, why didn't you want me to participate this time? I still don't understand. Can you tell me?"

When Hanabi thought of the reason, she immediately turned around, not daring to look Qinglan in the eye. Should she tell him that it was her own selfishness that caused this?

Qinglan observed Hanabi's subtle expressions and then guessed what was going on.

"That guy called Black Swan... he's got a great body, isn't he!"

Hanabi:! ! !

"And she's a stunning beauty, so beautiful that even you would feel your heart flutter, right!"

Hanabi:! ! ! ! !

Did this guy install surveillance in his head? How did he guess so accurately?

Qinglan tapped Huahuo's head. "You, you, your thoughts are written all over your face, it's so easy to guess! Before this, no matter how much I asked, you wouldn't tell me a single thing about her. Wasn't that obviously because you didn't want me to meet her? Hahaha, Huahuo, your thoughts are so cute! Are you worried that I'll be snatched away? Hmm?"

Qinglan's words left Hanabi at a loss for words. Although it was true, saying it aloud was a different matter.

"Ugh, stop talking! I just don't want you to meet her. Don't you men all like big ones? If you meet her, and she's just like you, she likes to pry into memories, you might just become friends with her very quickly."

Since her little scheme had already been guessed, Hanabi just admitted everything without hesitation. However, Aoran gently reached out her finger and flicked Hanabi's forehead.

"Ouch! That hurts! What are you doing?"

"Hmph, this is a little punishment for not trusting me. How long do you think I've lived? In two hundred years, I've seen countless women. But apart from my family, none of them have left even the slightest trace in my mind, because I don't care about appearances! What I love is your personality, your soul. That's something no one can replicate, understand?"

Hanabi lowered her head, as if she had thought of something, then sat directly in Qinglan's lap. "I know, I shouldn't have distrusted you, so..."

In an instant, the fireworks transformed into a golden dust, nestled shyly in Qinglan's arms.

"So, darling, no matter what I become, you'll still love me, right? After all, you love my soul! Hold me tight, okay? Otherwise, I'll assume you're lying about what you just said!"

Qinglan's expression froze. No, he could be indifferent to appearance, but he couldn't be indifferent to gender!

However, in order to prove that Hanabi was not lying, Qinglan still gritted her teeth and hugged Hanabi, who was wearing a gold-flecked skin.

Seeing Qinglan's stiff and embarrassed expression, Huahuo was secretly delighted. She then twisted her body again and said slyly.

"You're not hugging me as tightly as usual, hug me tighter! (?＞?＜?)!"

Qinglan: ...

Or he should just gouge out his own eyes!

Chapter 95 Tired Fireworks

"Darling, can you... kiss me?"

Hanabi said those words with a shy expression. In the past, Aoran would have carried them out without hesitation, but now...

"Little Firework, I'm not gay. If you want me to kiss you, at least go back to normal!"

"But didn't you say you wouldn't care about my appearance? Could it be that you were lying to me? Waaaaah, you actually still like bigger ones! All that 'I don't care about appearance' stuff was a lie, waaaaah!"

Imagine a tall, blond man snuggling in your arms like a little girl, and this little girl even wants you to hold her tightly.

"No, I... I actually prefer being passive."

After Qinglan forced herself to say those words, Hanabi narrowed her eyes and said, "Is that so? Darling, I'll take the initiative this time!"

As she spoke, Hanabi closed her eyes and slowly moved her lips toward Qinglan's. Just as they were about to touch, Qinglan couldn't resist the hurdle in her heart and slowly turned her head away.

Although Hanabi's attempt to kiss her failed, she showed no disappointment. Instead, she smiled and continued to kiss Qinglan's lips, but Qinglan slowly turned her head to the other side.

Seeing this, Hanabi couldn't help but pout. If it were her usual self, this expression would be very cute and charming, but now that she was in the form of Sand Gold, Qinglan was already too scared to look at the terrifying scene of a grown man pouting in front of her.

"Honey, you dislike me!"

"I don't!"

"You're lying! Then why did you dodge? That would have hurt Hanabi-sama's young heart so much!"

"Aren't you afraid of hurting my feelings? You kissed me with Kakawasha's face, I'll have nightmares tonight! Let's stop this farce!"

Upon hearing this, Hanabi wiped away the tears that had vanished from the corners of her eyes. "My dear, you actually said that Hanabi-sama's expression of love was a farce. That hurts my feelings so much. Today, I must kiss you. That's what I said."

"Then don't use Kakawasha's face! It's too scary!"

Qinglan immediately got up and dodged, but Huahuo, like a nimble tabby cat, pounced on Qinglan and hugged her tightly in a very ambiguous manner.

"Darling, you actually ran away! You really need to teach a liar a lesson!"

Just as Hanabi was about to take a bite, the girl in front of her almost instantly transformed into a pitiful young girl.

And the girl, Hanabi, also knew him; he was her real employer at Pinocchio—the Robin.

"No, please don't treat me so roughly. If my brother finds out, he won't let you off the hook."
