Luo Zhen and Crownslayer seemed to have been misunderstood by this little bear. But you can't blame her for that. After all, Luo Zhen and Crownslayer were acting suspiciously in the alley. Anyone who saw this would have misunderstood. But it seemed this misunderstanding was a bit more serious.
Xiang: "This is the first time Big Brother Luo Zhen has visited my house with his girlfriend! I told my mom about you often, Big Brother Luo Zhen. She seemed very happy! And she also said she wanted to meet you once!" Xiang's round ears twitched with excitement. One of her hands held Luo Zhen's, and the other held Crownslayer's, and she jumped up and down happily. "I'm sorry... I'm just not very free, you see." Not only was Luo Zhen apologizing awkwardly, but even Crownslayer was trying to act like a normal big sister by giving a quiet smile. But that was only from Xiang's perspective. Meanwhile, on his side, Crownslayer was glaring at Luo Zhen with a murderous look. "Hurry up and explain to her! This kid is getting a huge misunderstanding!"
Luo Zhen: "Is it my fault? You're the one at fault, so you explain it yourself." Luo Zhen wasn't afraid of her at all, and spoke calmly. After all, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Not long ago, Luo Zhen had just been misunderstood by Xiao Ling and the others in the Big Yard as being Superintendent Ch'en's boyfriend. Even though that beautiful police officer with a straightforward mouth looked tough and cruel on the outside, she was a kind and gentle person like Luo Zhen, who liked to visit the children in the slums from time to time and give them toys and snacks. Of course, the two of them often liked to do the same thing, so they had known each other for a long time. As a result, sometimes, Xiao Ling really thought they were a couple. But that misunderstanding had been cleared up a long time ago, and the mischievous and playful Xiao Ling would often help Luo Zhen tease Superintendent Ch'en. So for Luo Zhen, it didn't matter if he was now boarding a few more ships, because in the end, he was used to these things.
But Crownslayer, or Lady Lumila, was in a difficult situation. It would be fine if a normal child misunderstood this, but the problem was that now her subordinates believed the child!! In front of the squad, it wouldn't be difficult for her reputation in the Integration Movement to spread with a few wrong words from their mouths, resulting in her reputation and perspective being changed, and that would directly affect Lumila, because the reputation she had tried to accumulate for so long would disappear in the blink of an eye just because of these rumors!
Of course, Luo Zhen didn't care about that misunderstanding, but there was something else that interested him even more. Luo Zhen, who was holding Xiang's hand, leaned in close to Crownslayer's ear and whispered to her, "I never thought you would pretend to be a normal big sister and approach the Infected like this. I thought you would announce that you were starting a riot in Chernobog." Crownslayer Lumila glared back at Luo Zhen: "Are you stupid? This is an adult matter. How could I tell a child like that? Besides... I don't want her spreading news about us either." "I see," Luo Zhen nodded in understanding.
As an Infected, Xiang had a cruel past, but she was still too young to understand those things. If you told her about the Integration Movement, Xiang would surely go and tell Xiao Ling, who was her best friend, and that would put Crownslayer's group in danger. Therefore, Crownslayer only told the little bear girl her real name and approached her like a normal kind big sister, which was actually a disguise, but she didn't act like someone who was in disguise for a mission at all. Luo Zhen looked at her in a much better light: "You treat the children very well. I think you'll be a great mother in the future." "...Shut up." Crownslayer showed a clear expression of disgust, and her stomach felt nauseous as if she were about to vomit.
But it seemed Lady Crownslayer was a bit too naive. Luo Zhen and she were dragged by the excited Xiang into her house to have dinner together! Originally, Crownslayer wanted to find an excuse to escape. She looked at Luo Zhen, for him to leave this place with her. But this man's face was thicker than a meteorite!! Not only did he stay for dinner, but he also cooked for everyone! Under Crownslayer's disbelieving gaze, this man was cooking amidst the Infected and her members of the Integration Movement! And he even cooked delicious food!! "Is my brain infected to the point of hallucinating?..." Lady Crownslayer's face was pale, and the hand holding her chopsticks looked very unsteady.
The members of the Integration Movement who had gathered thought that Luo Zhen was Crownslayer's boyfriend. They were all very enthusiastic about him and all called him big brother. As a result, Luo Zhen became more and more popular. Even though just a few minutes ago he was fighting Crownslayer as if he were taking her life, right now he was able to converse happily with these members of the infected organization naturally. His acting skills were too excellent! If Crownslayer didn't know that Luo Zhen wasn't an Infected, she would have thought that this man was really suitable to be her friend.
Please, just end this quickly... Crownslayer's stomach ached from stress, which made her barely able to taste the food Luo Zhen made. At this time, her subordinates, the gossip squad of the group, started to lose control again: Gossip Movement A: "Big Brother Luo Zhen's food is so damn good! Even though the ingredients are all the same, the food our cafeteria staff makes is no different from the pig feed they give in winter!" Gossip Movement B: "What kind of metaphor is that, you bastard! Stop it! Damn it... it's your fault, I feel like I've actually eaten that stuff!" Gossip Movement A: "I have eaten it, last winter, at the mine before I was rescued by Daddy. At that time, all the food was transported out to those nobles, and all the protesters were killed. Only a few of us survived because we hid in the pigsty—oops, sorry, this topic isn't suitable for discussion during dinner." ...A moment of silence fell.
This type of topic was a normal thing they often talked about. That was because they were all oppressed Infected with many miserable experiences. But those who talked about these tragedies were not trying to elicit sympathy from others. On the contrary, around them, there were many people who were much worse off than themselves, and this kind of topic was just a casual chat after dinner, similar to telling embarrassing stories that happened to them as children. Crownslayer was silent, while biting her chopsticks and looking straight at Luo Zhen. She wondered what kind of expression this man was making when he heard these things. If he showed even the slightest hint of sympathy, that would mean he was their enemy, and he would surely be ganged up on and killed.
In this awkward atmosphere, Luo Zhen... he just nodded with deep understanding. "Hunger is a very scary thing. In the past, when I ran away from my hometown, I also wandered in the wilderness for almost a month. I didn't know where the nearest village was, didn't know when a natural disaster would come. It was a dry desert everywhere I went. We had no choice but to follow the large tracks left by the passage of a mobile city. At that time, we had nothing to eat, so we could only eat the cacti we dug up, and the pot we had brought to use had a hole in it. Sigh... that was the most desperate time of my life."
Gossip Movement A: "Oh, oh! Big Brother Luo Zhen had something like that happen too!!" The moment this topic was brought up, all the Infected immediately became excited. They all came to ask Luo Zhen about what had happened and if his health was not too damaged. Crownslayer was so shocked that all the braised pork in her bowl fell onto the table! What happened? Didn't you say you weren't an Infected? Then why did you have such a sympathetic moment? Run away from your hometown? Why would you run away from there?
The other Infected were also curious: "Originally, we were all Ursus people from birth. We've hardly ever seen an angel like Big Brother Luo Zhen before. Big Brother! The land of angels is called Laterano, right? Do they treat the Infected badly like us?" Luo Zhen nodded solemnly: "That's right. Laterano does not accept the Infected, and they will exile anyone who is infected as soon as they are discovered. It's very strict for angels. No matter what position they hold, once they are infected, they will be immediately ostracized, not even their citizenship rights are recognized. Fortunately, if you want to protest, you can call a lawyer... frankly, it's much more unfortunate in Ursus. You all are very strong."
Even Xiang joined in on this topic: "That's right, that's right! The quarry in Ursus is so cold! Everyone has no clothes to wear, and my dad and mom still have to dig rocks all day... but I'm very happy in Lungmen! Every day I get to eat Big Brother Luo Zhen's roasted pork buns, and I also get to play with Xiao Ling!" Hearing this, Luo Zhen became even happier. He hugged the little bear in his arms and began to squeeze her cheeks, as if the two were very loving siblings. The members of the Integration Movement cheered loudly and talked about their own experiences, but it wasn't anything cruel, just funny experiences during their journey, which made the conversation on the table full of fun and cheerfulness.
Crownslayer: "..." Lumila stared at the man in front of her with a complex gaze and felt that she couldn't see through him at all. "What on earth are you... Luo Zhen."
