Summary:

Lucas accidentally came to a parallel world of Earth, but found that things were not that simple.

Volume: Volume 1

0001

Emily returned to her home in East Town yesterday.

It was almost midnight, and her home was in a remote location. She took a road outside of town after getting off the interstate highway. No one in the town knew she had returned, possibly including her neighbor Lucas.

Emily had been busy with her tour since June, and had been traveling between airports, hotels and performance venues for two months. Although she was an energetic young girl, she was also physically and mentally exhausted. This was her first time back home, so she had nothing to say. She slept soundly in her bed and did not get up until noon the next day.

After waking up from a good sleep, I felt lazily all over. I brushed my teeth and took a shower slowly, dried my hair with a hair dryer, and half-lay on the sofa in the living room wearing only two tight-fitting tops and a pair of adorable clothes.

During the two months since I was away, I hired someone to clean the house regularly, so every room, including her bedroom, is clean and tidy, without any dust. Many items, such as her bed sheets and sofa cushions, are often taken outside to dry, and I can smell the scent of the sunshine when I put my face close to them.

When taking a bath, the hot water accelerated the blood circulation. At this time, lying on the sofa, Emily felt a strong sense of hunger.

After being away for two months, the food in the refrigerator had long been emptied, and even the biscuits and snacks in the cupboards had been disposed of, so the whole house was empty. Apart from some daily necessities, there was nothing edible.

Her first thought was to go to Lucas's house next door for a free meal, but considering her own personality, it's not that she has become a popular idol and has an idol burden, but that she always behaves like an ice goddess whether at home or at school. She doesn't want to break down too completely in front of Lucas, so she has to be reserved.

"Wouldn't it be a bit too proactive to just go over and ask for food...?"

Hugging the cushion under her body, Emily muttered to herself, and her mind began to think about the restaurants in town and the people who would dine with her, that is, her best friends.

But when Emily thought of the restaurants and places to eat in town, she suddenly felt disgusted. In the past eight or nine months, her taste buds had been spoiled by Lucas's cooking skills. No matter whether it was Angelina's restaurant or other places selling food, compared with Lucas's cooking skills, they were all "pig food."

This is not about the difference in food type, such as Chinese or Western food, but simply the level of sophistication and quality of the cooking skills.

I had never tried Lucas’ cooking before, so I didn’t know about it. But now that I know the huge difference between the two of them, the girl, who has a bit of “perfectionism” in her character, doesn’t want to torture herself anymore.

"Ding dong, ding dong"

Just as Emily was lying on the sofa and thinking about something, the doorbell rang.

Emily's eyes lit up. No one in the town knew she was back. Under this circumstance, it wouldn't be someone she knew who came to see her. It could only be Lucas or a door-to-door salesman or newspaper seller. But the salesmen and newspaper sellers in the town knew her family and knew she had become an idol star and was touring, so they wouldn't come to her at this time.

So the person who came could only be Lucas, whom she had been thinking about.

Emily suddenly became excited. She got up from the sofa, barefoot without even putting on slippers, and almost trotted all the way to the front door. Through the frosted glass on both sides of the door, she saw a figure in bright blue clothes outside.

Of all the people she knew, only Lucas had a shirt of that color, so it must be him.

She let out a long breath to calm herself down. Even though she was only wearing a suspender bra and shorts that only half-covered her buttocks, and there was no exposure, she still adjusted her clothes, looked at herself in the mirror on the shoe cabinet behind the door, and suppressed the excitement and smile on her face.

Then the door opened.

"Amy, you are home after all. Your mother called me..."

Emily behind the door cautiously opened it a crack, revealing half of her beautiful face. After seeing that it was indeed Lucas, she moved away from the door, removed the hook on the door and opened it.

Lucas is a young Asian man who looks to be around 27 or 28 years old. At least Emily thinks he looks only 27 or 28 years old. Some Asians look like black people, and some white people cannot tell their specific age.

After seeing that Emily was indeed at home, Lucas kept talking, but as the door opened and he saw Emily's full appearance behind the door, his voice stopped abruptly.

"…Your mother won't be back for a few days, so let me take care of you for a while…Uh, sorry, am I here at the wrong time? Why are you here dressed like this?"

Emily's face immediately broke into a smile. Seeing that Lucas avoided looking at her, it had nothing to do with age. She immediately had a cat-and-mouse game mentality, throwing the idea of ​​"being reserved" from a moment ago to the wind, took a step forward, took the initiative to hold one of his arms, hugged him tightly in her arms and pulled him into the door.

"I was taking a shower before, but it doesn't matter. This is my own home, and you are not a stranger..."

With a "bang", the white and tender calf hooked and closed the door.

Lucas's body

Stiff, this reaction is exactly the same as those little boys in school who have never had contact with girls. It is too funny for a man in his thirties or even forty. Emily pretended not to know that their skin was touching and pressed his arm tightly against her chest. Lucas moved his elbow slightly, trying to pull his arm back, but she still held him and continued to say what he had just said.

"Ah, did mom call you again to bother you? Really... But then again, you don't plan to continue pursuing her, right?"

"It has nothing to do with whether I pursue her or not. We are neighbors. Besides, it's just taking care of you for a few days and having a few meals with me. It's not a big deal."

Lucas answered subconsciously.

"I was just hungry, and was wondering where to eat. Just as I was thinking, you came over. Please sit here for a while. I'll go back to my room, get dressed, and come out right away."

She walked into the living room intimately, took Lucas' arm and sat on the sofa. Her two white and tender feet rubbed the floor, and after putting on the slippers she had worn before, Emily let him go.

"I won't entertain you. There's nothing in my house except running water."

As she spoke, she stood up, waved to Lucas with a smile, then turned and ran to her room.

Lucas, who was sitting on the sofa, let out a long breath and subconsciously reached out to touch his elbow.

The feeling of touching the girl's chest before seemed to still linger there.

……

Later, Emily put on a tight T-shirt that showed off her beautiful upper body curves, and a pair of elastic cropped pants that revealed half of her fair calves. She tied her naturally golden hair into a neat bun that was convenient for eating, and she had a playful spiral sideburn on each side of her temples. She appeared in front of Lucas.

The girl's casual outfit is also amazing, showing off her slim waist and long legs. Coupled with her youthful and beautiful appearance, she truly embodies the term "sweetheart".

After more than a year of getting along, Lucas was more or less immune to the looks of the mother and daughter, and did not show any impolite look... Although he was secretly chanting "Amitabha" in his heart, he nodded to the girl and took half a step forward to avoid being pestered by her again.

The two of them walked out of Emily's house, one after the other.

Behind him, Emily pursed her bright red lips in dissatisfaction, then she thought of something and began to chuckle silently.

Lucas was her neighbor, so his house was naturally next to hers. And he didn't renovate it. Instead, he demolished the original house and built a new one completely according to his own preferences.

Their original house was a top-notch residence in the town, and it would not be wrong to call it a villa. At this time, the new house built by Lucas was several stories higher. Not only was it two floors higher than Emily's house, it was also larger in size, and its appearance looked avant-garde, modern and beautiful.

There is an element called "foreign style". Of course, the flower country of the Lighthouse Pearl is itself a foreign country, so this element becomes modern and technological after interpretation and localization.

When he arrived at the main entrance, Lucas took out a rectangular black block, swiped the screen, and typed something on it. The door made of bright silver metal and large opaque glass made a beeping sound, followed by a "pop" sound, and a gap automatically opened like an airtight door.

The timeline of this world is equivalent to the 1980s. There is no concept of "mobile phone". And for some reason, not only there is no such concept, but even the leading technology "electronic chips" and related industries have no trace at all. For example, bigwigs like Turing have never existed in history, so Emily has no idea what he has in his hand.

Although she had observed it up close and played with it in her hands many times, she only knew that it was a high-tech product and had no idea of ​​anything more specific.

There is actually an input keypad and fingerprint scanner on the door, but Lucas finds it troublesome, so he directly uses the built-in APP on his mobile phone to unlock the door.

At this point, you should have realized that Lucas is not a native of this world, but a time traveler from another world.

However, his origins and why he appeared in this world will be mentioned slowly in the future, so I will not go into details here.

Lucas opened the door wide and let Emily go in first. He waited for her to enter before entering. With a gentle push of his hand, the heavy-looking metal door closed silently, making a smooth "click" sound with the latch on the door frame and closing tightly.

Inside, the glass on the door is no longer opaque black glass, but translucent glass that allows you to clearly see the outside scenery like optical sunglasses.

Moreover, you can feel the cool air in the room as soon as you come in. The high-tech metal door seems to block the hot air of California summer outside... Of course, this is impossible. The room is cool because of the air conditioning.

Although there are differences in the development of technology and celebrities in history, air conditioners still exist in this world, but the quality and cooling effect may not be as good as the one in Lucas's home.

This was not Emily's first time at Lucas's house, so she went to the dining room without him greeting her.

The furnishings in Lucas' home are just like its technological and fashionable appearance, with a simple and technological style. There are large pieces of floor-to-ceiling glass, no complicated decorations or expensive furniture. Except for a few pots of green plants to decorate the environment, everything is simple and clear.

For example, the dining table is made of glass with metal round edges.

The chairs that match the dining table are made of shiny stainless steel and leather round pads, with stainless steel armrests and a steel pipe with a strange bending angle. A transparent cushion made of the same glass is placed behind the back, and the glass cushion also has a curvature that fits the human back.

The tables and chairs are very solid and reliable. There is no cold and hard feeling of metal and glass. On the contrary, they are very comfortable to sit on.

As soon as she entered the dining room, she could smell the aroma of food. Emily, who had been hungry for a long time, immediately became hungry and drooled uncontrollably. She swallowed her saliva and asked:

"What's for lunch? I feel like I can eat a whole pot of rice" Group '⑥九四:⑨*三⑥'壹"③五

"Three kinds of delicious food from the ground...? Never mind, this translation is weird, let's just say the Chinese name 'Three Fresh Foods from the Ground'"

Lucas took the rice cooker directly from the stove to the dining table so that they could add rice more easily. When he opened the lid of the pot, a stream of hot steam rose up, and the aroma of the food became even richer.

Emily sat at the dining table and poured herself and her husband a cup of tea. The tea was brewed in a wide-mouthed glass cup, and the whole cup was a dense copper color, which had a strange beauty.

She pushed Lucas's teacup to his seat, which was the seat next to her, and stood up from her seat, turned on the rice cooker and served two bowls of rice for herself and him.

Although Europeans and Americans rely on bread as their staple food, they are also very accepting of rice, especially Xiangshui rice produced in another time and space. This rice is considered a relatively high-end top-grade staple food ingredient abroad, but in a certain time and space in China it is the daily staple food of thousands of households.

The so-called japonica rice from a certain country or the fragrant rice from a certain place are inferior to Xiangshui rice in terms of nutrition, taste, aroma, etc. The reason they are popular is just to build up the brand and for the sake of novelty.

With the help of top-notch cooking skills, Emily accepted rice as her staple food in just one meal.

While she was serving the rice, Lucas also served the three fresh vegetables in two plates.

"Hey, the three delicious delicacies on the ground... turned out to be just eggplant, green pepper and potato. I waited for nothing."

After sitting down again, Emily, who was already proficient in using chopsticks, fiddled with the dishes on the plate twice and identified the raw materials. Although there was a hint of disgust in her tone, she looked eager to try, because based on her own experience, even the pickled cucumbers made by Lucas were several times more delicious than those made by others.

“The three delicious foods on the ground are not randomly named, but a combination of mixed vegetables that have been carefully selected. I actually hate eating cooked eggplant, but if it is this dish, there is absolutely no problem at all.”

Lucas sat down next to her and made a few casual introductions, but while he was speaking, Emily had already started eating anxiously, because she was indeed hungry.

"Luckily there's meat. I'm a carnivore. It's great. It's pork with skin. You even fried it to my taste... I'd give it 100 points just for the meat. Mm-hmm, well, you're right. The vegetable flavor combination of this dish is really great."

During the year or so that he was pursuing Claire, Emily's mother, in addition to the usual ways of courtship, such as sending flowers, dining out, and dating, Lucas also took the daughter route and became very familiar with Emily. When the two of them were dining or spending time together in private, they did not strictly observe the social etiquette of not talking while eating or sleeping.

But he didn't expect that Claire not only treated him as a backup, but also had the unique problem of white people in this era of looking down on people of color. Although she was very polite on the surface, her attitude in private was, well, haha... But the daughter's route was extremely successful, and too successful. Not only did Emily have a good impression of him, but after learning that there would be no further development between him and her mother, she immediately showed her attitude, and seemed to be intending to replace Lucas and fall in love with him.

It is not known whether this is a surprise or a shock to Lucas. He is not the shield-bearing man who doesn't know Shakespeare even if a bullet is hit in his face. On the contrary, he is quite sensitive to some extent, but too sensitive, and thinks too much.

He thought too much about what the girl was thinking. If she really wanted to develop a relationship with him, he would not be afraid of rumors. Dongcheng Town was a white town, and he was the only person of color. The theme of that era was not yet the equal rights or calls for racial equality to reach the point of political correctness like in the future, but the superficial exclusion continued. If he was afraid of this, he would have hidden in his respective communities like other Chinese or Asian people of that era.

He was afraid that Emily was just doing it for fun or to try something new. If that happened, more than two people would get hurt. He had just built the big house less than a year ago, and he might have to give up the house and move to another place. That would be too much trouble for him. So for the past few months, he had been carefully handling his relationship with Emily.

This meal was not specially prepared for her. Claire had been overwhelmed by Emily's success in her celebrity career in the past six months. She was a small movie star... Well, this sentence is ambiguous. She was a small movie star. It seems that Emily's father, who had passed away, had an accidental one-night stand with Emily, so he had to interrupt her acting career and star dream. Now she sees hope for success in her daughter, and she has already succeeded and has a smooth road to stardom.

She saw success as the continuation of her dream and devoted all her attention to Emily's star career.

Well, that was a bit long-winded. To put it simply, she had no idea about AC and treated Lucas the same as other men, as a spare tire who could be summoned and dismissed at will. She didn't realize that Lucas didn't want to continue with her at all.

Moreover, he did not realize that his daughter was determined to replace him.

So she called Lucas and asked him to take care of Emily for a while, while she continued to stay in Orlando to handle some matters with the Disney Entertainment Company that Emily had signed with.

When the call came, Lucas had already prepared lunch and was about to eat it, but he quickly washed and cut two green peppers, two eggplants and two potatoes in a frying pan, fried them and mixed them together to make lunch for two people. Then he went to call for help.

0002

Lucas and Emily were eating and chatting. When they talked about meat again, Lucas suddenly thought of some information he had accidentally read. Since coming to this world, after solving the problems of identity and survival, mainly the source of livelihood, he became a frequent visitor to the library, comparing the differences between the two worlds not only from history, but also from many aspects such as technology, social development, common sense, and useless little knowledge.

Before becoming a glorious or unlucky time traveler, Lucas could only be considered a craftsman in the strict sense. Apart from having a wide range of reading, his own unique values, world outlook, and an ideology that could be considered positive, he was not a professional with a large amount of knowledge in a single field. To put it simply, he was "Mr. Know-It-All."

Therefore, the information he consulted covered a wide range, but not very in-depth. For example, for a certain mysterious country across the sea, he simply looked up the general changes of dynasties and compared them with the dynasty changes he had learned and compiled into a jingle. He was not concerned about which specific dynasty or which emperor had made what historical achievements.

"By the way, Amy, from now on, when you eat meat... well, I mean, try not to eat any meat, meat food, or meat products other than here."

"Why?" Emily, who was savoring her favorite medium-burnt pork with skin, turned her beautiful eyes to him and asked clearly while moving her mouth constantly.

"I recently looked up information and saw that the practice used by the breeding industry to increase the protein intake of livestock is very dangerous. Take beef cattle breeding as an example. The breeding industry uses slaughter waste and cattle bones that are not edible to humans to make protein supplement feed for cattle. This provides space for a dangerous, deadly and completely incurable virus prion to be repeatedly infected and spread. Strictly speaking, this is not a virus, but a diseased gene similar to a DNA sequence. Conventional killing methods such as high temperature are ineffective against it. Even after high-temperature cooking and then absorbed by the digestive system, it can still be effective for organisms. That's why I said that it is repeatedly infected and spread within the breeding industry. With the current medical technology and even in the next half century, it is impossible to accurately distinguish between genetic lesions. The main reason is that it is impossible to distinguish between normal genes and this pathogenic gene. The drugs that are effective against it will also kill normal genes..."

At this point Lucas shrugged and observed Emily's reaction. The latter still had a good appetite and was not affected by this topic. Instead, she blinked her two beautiful blue eyes and listened with great interest.

"Really? Why have I never heard of this? It's too scary, right?"

"That's because people haven't discovered this prion yet... Maybe they've discovered it, but they haven't equated it with diseases in livestock or even humans. But you can pay attention to collecting curious news from all over the place. Zombie deer or itchy sheep are all victims of this virus. The symptoms of infection in humans and cattle are similar. The initial symptoms include mental or behavioral abnormalities, and then they will gradually develop into a loss of control of the body until death. Through autopsy, it will be found that one of the most important symptoms of this type of patient is that there are many vacuoles or star-shaped honeycomb structures in the brain... In short, believe me, I won't harm you, so pay more attention to your diet in the future."

Emily swallowed the food in her mouth and licked the rice grains at the corner of her mouth with her pink tongue. She asked irrelevantly, "So it's just like the song you gave me. Only the two of us know it. Don't tell anyone else?"

Emily's famous song is called "Skateboard Boy" and another one is called "Baby One More Time". Nearly half of the nearly 20 hit songs were provided to her by Lucas as a "daughter". However, to be cautious, although Lucas used these hits from pop idols and pop queens in his world from 20 or 30 years ago, he taught Emily a set of rhetoric, such as "the song and melody are in my mind, and I just wrote them down on paper", and did not become a songwriter himself.

Emily has now become a popular teenage idol star in the whole country of Flower. Not only does she have these hits that have stood the test of time, but also her innate beauty, vocal and acting talents. One of the reasons why she is so popular is that she is a genius creator... Well, her blond, blue-eyed, high-class Angsa is also a reason. If she were a mixed-race Latino, black or Asian, even if she had all the above conditions, she would not be popular.

"You can give good advice to your close friends and family, like Claire, you can use your

"For the convenience of her daughter, do not interfere more. As for other people, do not interfere too much in their exercise of free will. Anyway, the advice has been given, and it is up to them whether to adopt it or not. If you advise others too deeply, it will harm yourself, so just give basic advice. This is an act that God will forgive. The premise of all this is not to mention me. You are a smart girl and know how to grasp the balance."

Lucas said with a smile.

Emily saw through his fake smile and said with a curled lip, "You don't believe in God at all. I've seen the layout of your basement. I guess you are a Buddhist or Taoist... and the same goes for me. If I can't resist the temptation of meat, you won't care about me?"

"How could that be? Didn't I tell you that you can eat the meat other than the meat here without worrying about it? The only thing you need to worry about is obesity caused by excessive intake of high-calorie food."

Emily put down her chopsticks and first made an Ultraman's dynamic light wave defense posture, posing an attitude of "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen": "Shut up, I'm a beautiful girl, beautiful girls can't be fat"
