interstellar enemy
Chapter 46, Lorraine
This uninvited guest was none other than the girl who came with the housekeeper that day.Today the girl wore a black coat and a hat, looking plain and low-key.
Qiao Xi looked at the girl outside the door and said, "He Tian is not at home." Strictly speaking, she is He Tian's guest, and without He Tian, he has every reason not to let her in.After all, she was a girl, and Qiao Xi felt that it was inconvenient when there was no one else at home.
The girl smiled and said, "I know. I'm not looking for him, I'm here for you."
Qiao Xi was a little surprised, but he didn't feel any malice from the girl, just like his first impression of the girl - this girl was not dangerous at all.
"Can I go in and talk?" the girl asked, her eyes full of kindness.
"Please come in." Qiao Xi stepped aside and invited her in.
Putting on slippers, the girl took off her coat, and inside was a light yellow dress, which set her off white and lovely.
Qiao Xi went into the kitchen to make two cups of coffee, then returned to the living room with the coffee.
The girl took the coffee cup and thanked her softly, then said, "My name is Lorraine."
Qiao Xi nodded and introduced her name to her.
Lorraine's smile deepened a little, and she said, "I hope you don't mind if I take the liberty to disturb you. I'm here to confirm something with you."
"Well, tell me." Qiao Xi sat on the single sofa that He Tian often sat on, with the attitude of a master.
"Are you and He Tian lovers?" The girl asked directly.
Qiao Xi blinked slowly, with a calm expression on her face, and said, "What?"
Lorraine tilted her head and asked, "Are you admitting it?"
Qiao Xi smiled without saying a word.He didn't feel the need to talk too much to an outsider.
Lorraine took a sip of coffee, sat on the sofa, and said to Qiao Xi: "My family has a good relationship with He Tian's family. The elders hope that I can marry into He Tian's family, so that they can rest assured, and can prove the relationship between the two. The family is closer."
This kind of marriage is not uncommon. He is not surprised that Lorraine defines Hetian's family as "family". He knows that Hetian's family background must be good, but he doesn't have the extra energy to ask.Family issues did not affect the relationship between him and He Tian in his heart.
Seeing his calm face, Lorraine said: "My family's attitude is that if He Tian fails to get married when he becomes an adult, they will let me marry He Tian after He Tian graduates. If He Tian succeeds in matching, they hope that I can marry him." Marry He Tian's cousin."
Qiao Xi frowned slightly. Qiao Xi was really surprised that Lorraine had such a marriage without freedom.However, this should be related to the family. People in many big families often have to sacrifice their marriage for the status of the family.However, this is not the scope of Qiao Xi's concern.
"He Tian has never agreed to this matter. It has always been my family's wishful thinking. However, the He Tian family has not clearly expressed objection or rejection. Now that He Tian has you, he probably will not agree to this matter. This is exactly what I want." Lorraine said with a smile: "I have no relationship with He Tian, and I don't want to be tied to him, so if you want to be with He Tian and hear some boring gossip, Don’t take it seriously. Even though my ability to refuse this matter is limited, I still hope to fight it once.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, even if there were any rumors, they should not have reached his ears, after all, the matter between him and He Tian was only in a small area.
Lorraine smiled slightly and said, "I also want to be with someone who truly loves each other. I am a selfish person, and I care more about my own happiness than the family honor that my family values. After all, this matter requires both of you to be willing." That's good."
Qiao Xi agrees with Lorraine's idea of pursuing her own happiness, but...
"You don't want to be with He Tian, maybe I can help a little bit. But He Tian's cousin, I really can't help you." Qiao Xi said.He didn't even know that He Tian had a cousin, let alone others.
Lorraine looked at Qiao Xi seriously, and said: "The premise of my marriage with his cousin is that He Tian has a successful match. At that time, you can't be with He Tian anymore. If things develop to that point, it's better I'll take you to elope!"
The corner of Qiao Xi's mouth twitched, and she corrected, "Elopement is only called between lovers." Qiao Xi felt that with just this one sentence, he was about to refresh his understanding of Lorraine.
"Anyway, it's enough to express the meaning clearly. If He Tian is willing, we can take him with us for the time being. Then you find a place to live in seclusion, and I will find my happiness." Lorraine conceived the worst plan.
In fact, if Lorraine and He Tian have feelings for each other, even if He Tian is successfully matched, he can continue to maintain a lover relationship with Lorraine in private.Of course, the premise is that Lorraine has no mental cleanliness.Among the matching imperial people, a small part of them did this, and the Solomons who married them were just a tool for breeding offspring. When the child was born, no one seemed to care too much about how the other party dealt with this Solomon .Most of it was sent somewhere in the country, there was no shortage of supplies, and the real other owner of the family had long since changed.An imperial man can be with his lover openly, even if he cannot get married.This is also one of the places where matching marriages are cruel to Solomons, and Solomons have no right to file for divorce, and the empire does not support the divorce of imperial people in matching marriages, but they will not interfere with their other de facto marriages.
Qiao Xi just thought about this matter for a while, but Lorraine and He Tian had no relationship, so there was no prerequisite for implementing what he was thinking.And obviously, Lorraine's family is not going to let Lorraine do this, otherwise He Tian's cousin would not be considered.However, as a second choice, Qiao Xi didn't know what that cousin was thinking, but she certainly didn't mind it all.
"The possibility of a smooth escape is too low. If you have that time, you might as well talk to He Tian's cousin to see if you can resolve this matter." Qiao Xi thinks this is more practical.
"Hehe, it's just him?" Lorraine said with disdain on her face, "When I sit with him, I feel like I'm being stared at by a spider. It's really creepy."
This evaluation sounds bad, but Qiao Xi has never been in contact with it, so she doesn't jump to conclusions.
"He looks polite, humble and polite. If I hadn't known him long enough, I might think he was good. In fact, he is very good at pretending, but he is a pervert on the inside. He just pretends to be obedient in front of his elders Filial piety, even if I say he is mentally ill, no one will believe it. Anyway, if He Tian introduces him to you, you must be careful." Lorraine said angrily.She didn't act like a lady before, she seemed to wish she could bite that cousin to death.
Qiao Xi didn't think he would have any contact with that cousin, so she nodded casually.But from the way Lorraine spoke, Qiao Xi felt that she should be a very lively person in essence.
Lorraine sighed, brushed the bangs in front of her forehead, and said, "In fact, everyone has a more or less disguised side, and so do I. But most people's disguises are harmless, but Brother He Tiantang's disguise Definitely for harming people!"
Lorraine didn't want to mention the name of the person next to Lorraine, which showed the degree of dissatisfaction with him.
Qiao Xi smiled and said, "I will discuss what you told me with He Tian. After all, this matter concerns him. I will listen to him." Qiao Xi wanted to tell He Tian Confirm the credibility of Lorraine's words.He will not easily trust strangers, even if the other party does not make him feel malicious.
Lorraine laughed and said, "You can't do this, you have to control He Tian and let him listen to you, not you to listen to him."
"It's just a discussion. After all, he is the one that your family favors." This is not a question of who listens to whom, but to obtain an intention that both he and He Tian agree with.
"Okay, you decide to tell me." After finishing speaking, Lorraine exchanged the communicator number with Qiao Xi, then got up and said, "I have to go back, I sneaked out, and I have to go back to Capital Star. I'm waiting for your communication."
"Shall I take you to the space station?" Qiao Xi suggested.A girl, he always felt insecure.
"No, I'm keeping a low profile like this. You have too big a goal with me." Lorraine refused.Qiao Xi's black eyes are too eye-catching.
"Okay, be careful on the road." Qiao Xi didn't insist.
"En." Lorraine responded, put on her black coat, and left He Tian's house quickly.
Qiao Xi packed the cups and didn't contact He Tian immediately. He was not in a hurry to find out about this matter, and he would contact him when He Tian was free.
After sorting out the information, Elmo, accompanied by Thain, came to find Qiao Xi.Qiao Xi listened to Elmo explain the strengths and weaknesses of each gene one by one.Thain cooked the lunch with friendship, and Elmo ordered dishes at will. The two seemed like a good partner with a tacit understanding.
Among more than a dozen types of information, Qiao Xi chose a biological gene called "Lu Shu Beast".This gene, like its gene provider, has a very good defense and is agile.The disadvantage is that the attack is weak and cannot replace defense with offense, but the defense is very impressive.This gene is mostly used to provide protection for children. If it is added with an independent intelligent system, it will be a very good bodyguard.
The gene that Qiao Xi wanted was not difficult to obtain, and this matter was contracted by Elmo.Now Qiao Xi's mecha is still in the stage of parts assembly and has not been assembled yet, so I didn't take Elmo to see it for the time being.After lunch, Thain and Elmo left together and went to watch a movie in the theater they had booked.Qiao Xi continued to go to the mecha room to make his mecha.
After assembling all the parts, he began to use these parts to assemble the mecha. He also read a lot of reference materials in the middle, and even searched for information on the Internet for some things he didn't understand. Although the speed was not fast, after a few days, he could There is already a prototype.In this process, his spiritual power helped him a lot. Using mental power to move the parts for assembly is very labor-saving, and he can see the connection through his mind and make adjustments at any time.The progress was a bit slow, but Qiao Xi was very satisfied with the assembled parts.
While he was checking the information and assembling, He Tian sent a message saying that he was coming back.So on the morning of He Tian's arrival, Qiao Xi drove the hover car to the space station to pick him up.Having not seen him for such a long time, Qiao Xi felt that she still missed him a little bit, but this kind of miss gave him an unreal feeling. He didn't miss anyone when he grew up, so this feeling was suppressed by him. In his heart, he was not going to tell He Tian.
Qiao Xi looked at the girl outside the door and said, "He Tian is not at home." Strictly speaking, she is He Tian's guest, and without He Tian, he has every reason not to let her in.After all, she was a girl, and Qiao Xi felt that it was inconvenient when there was no one else at home.
