Dr. Sam...?

Sam was somewhat troubled.

The reason was that his original name was somewhat rare in the empire, so he just "used" it casually when he joined the army to avoid trouble.

He just didn't expect that the Queen would value him so much later, and even make him a high-ranking officer in the military.

But because of those memories in his mind, he always felt strange being addressed as Dr. Sam.

Now that fireflies are calling me that... it feels even stranger.

Sam sighed, "No need for such formality. I'm not some big shot... Just call me Sam."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying remained silent.

If someone like you isn't considered a big shot, then what am I, a nobody?

A tiny, insignificant person?

Looking at Liuying, who seemed a little hesitant about being asked to call her by her name directly.

As if he had thought of something, Sam raised an eyebrow.

"Although to me, a name is just a label."

"But if you're a little afraid of calling me by my name directly, and you really need a way of addressing me..."

Sam paused, then spoke in a tone that was almost mocking yet also somewhat serious.

"Then how about... you just call me brother?"

Upon hearing Sam's words, Firefly paused for a moment.

"elder brother?"

Although Sam's tone was somewhat playful, for some reason, Firefly felt that his gaze was very serious.

But those two words were too unfamiliar to her.

That's too...intimate.

In the Grammer Iron Cavalry.

They are comrades-in-arms, they are brothers-in-arms.

They are pawns who can give their lives for the empire and the empress at any time.

Between them, there was only command and obedience, only cold numbers and ranks.

Therefore, the term "older brother," which represents family, should theoretically never be used to refer to them.

But for some reason, even though it wasn't the first time she had heard this word.

But when the word came from the man in front of her, it carried a warmth she had never felt before.

Like a ray of sunshine, it suddenly shone into her cold and gray world.

Her cheeks flushed, and her heart skipped a beat.

Seeing the girl's bewildered and slightly flushed face, Sam chuckled softly.

"What? You don't want to?" His voice held a hint of mockery. "Or do you think I, this suddenly appearing 'older brother,' am not worthy?"

"No, that's not it!"

Liu Ying hurriedly waved her hands, her face turning even redder with anxiety: "I...I just...I just felt it was too sudden."

She lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "I...I've never...called anyone that before."

"Then we have it now." Sam's voice was matter-of-fact. "Or do you prefer to call me Dr. Sam?"

Liu Ying raised her head and looked at the man wearing a white mask in front of her.

Although I couldn't see his expression.

But she could sense an unprecedented gentleness and patience in his voice.

This feeling made her feel at ease.

It also made it... impossible for her to refuse.

She hesitated for a long time, but finally mustered up the courage to call out softly in an almost inaudible voice.

"...Sam...brother."

Liu Ying's voice was soft, tinged with shyness and uncertainty.

But those four words silenced the entire Changletian once again.

Kafka's expression became somewhat subtle.

Jingliu tightened his grip on the sword hilt.

Bai Heng was completely stunned.

She looked at the sky, then at Lu Li beside her, who looked like he was wondering "Who am I? Where am I?" His small mouth was slightly open, and he didn't know what to say.

And Lu Li...

"puff--!"

He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

fuck!

What the hell are you thinking?!

How could someone say such an embarrassing line!

Brother... you're not even as good as Pigeon.

Lu Li felt so embarrassed that he was about to dig a celestial boat, Luofu, out of his toes.

What on earth is all this?!

In the first act, he picked up a daughter named Kafka.

In the second act, a new confidante named Jingliu appears, along with a companion who will follow her through thick and thin named Baiheng.

Now in the third act, they've adopted another younger sister named Liuying?

Did I run a kindergarten in my past life?!

Wait, that's not right.

How come I found myself getting so caught up in the story?!

Fine, I'll take her as my sister then. She's not my past life, anyway.

Yes, that's right.

He is not from my past life, he is not my past life...

Lu Li began to hypnotize herself.

Meanwhile, in the distant attic...

When Liu Ying heard the word "brother," she could no longer control her emotions.

She covered her mouth, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

It's him……

It really is him...

The person who gave her hope when she was at her most desperate and helpless.

The person who gave her a name and a new life.

The person who gave her family and warmth.

That person... she can never find again.

Firefly instinctively reached out her hand to the man wearing a white mask in the sky.

Despite being separated by the sky.

Although she had agreed to his request, there was an insurmountable river of life and death separating them.

but she.

I finally saw him again...

"Firefly, what's wrong?"

Ren noticed Liu Ying's unusual behavior and frowned as he asked.

"No...it's nothing."

Liu Ying snapped out of her daze, quickly withdrew her hand, wiped away her tears, and forced a smile.

"I just... I just got sand in my eyes."

edge:"……"

He looked at Liu Ying's swollen eyes and the tears that she couldn't stop, and fell silent.

He knew that the firefly was lying.

But he didn't expose it.

Because he knew.

Star Core Hunter.

Everyone has their own secrets.

A secret I don't want anyone to touch...

Just like... him.

He turned his head and looked at the three people beside Kafka in the distance.

A complex light flickered in those scarlet eyes.

……

the other side.

"Brother...hehe, Ali, you're really good at this."

"How come I never noticed before? You have this kind of fetish..."

Kafka's voice pulled Lu Li back to reality from his self-hypnosis.

"First there was my 'daughter' whom I took in and raised, and now I have a 'sister' I've adopted..."

"How come I never noticed before?" Kafka's body pressed against Lu Li's, her hand gently stroking Lu Li's face.

"Your taste... is quite unique."

"Don't you think so?" Kafka raised an eyebrow playfully. "My...Ah Li brother?"

Lu Li's body froze instantly, and he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Fortunately, after several of Kafka's "teasing" incidents, Lu Li had become somewhat immune.

And what about Brother Ali?

Didn't you say you're a "daughter"? Shouldn't you call me Daddy... cough cough.

In short.

Lu Li took a deep breath and calmed down.

"I told you, that wasn't me."

"Oh? Is that so?"
