I Suppose, I Am Truly in Love With You

Luo Lan received Qian Xu’s help. She was crestfallen, “I failed?”

Qian Xu weighed his words for a moment. He consoled her, “I can only say that this promotion task is not suitable for you.”

Luo Lan dejectedly removed her helmet and weapon belts. She examined her painful wounds. Some wounds were so bad it needed to be stitched.

She sprayed disinfectant spray on her wounds and prepared medicines and equipment to stitch her wounds from her medicine bag. She was about to start when Qian Xu stopped her, “Let me.”

Luo Lan’s thought was preoccupied with her failure. Furthermore, she was accustomed to the fact that there was no gender difference between men and women when she was in the medical school. Without even thinking about it, she lay flat on the rock and promptly lifted her clothes, revealing her smooth and soft belly.

Qian Xu didn’t lose his composure. He settled down and chatted with her while helping her sew up her wounds, “When hunting, people mostly choose long-range weapons. Why did you choose a short-range weapon like a dagger?”

“I don’t know, by intuition! When Su Er asked me what weapon I was going to use, I chose this. Did I choose the wrong weapon? Was it why I failed?”

“No, it’s not like that. The Yanfeng beast has wings, if you can’t finish it in one go using a long-range weapon, it will quickly fly over to you and you will need to use a short-range weapon to counter it. You choose the right weapon, your way of fighting it is also right. It’s just, you can’t finish it in time. The beast realized if it continues to fight with you, it won’t be beneficial, so it backed down. After all, for the beast, only food and mate are worth fighting for life and death.”

“I choose the right weapon and the way I fight it is also right… All of this… It can’t be just because of my intuition, right?” Luo Lan muttered. There were too many coincidences to pass it as intuition.

“Intuition is actually a subconscious judgment. If it is not because of your current memory, then it is because of your past memory. With your previous strength, it’s impossible for you to fight with a Yanfeng beast. Most likely, you have seen other fight a Yanfeng beast this way. When you chose this weapon, Su Er and Su Qi didn’t know about your lost memory. So, the promotion task they set is not suitable for you. Because of it, it’s impossible to force out your ultimate potential.”

“What you mean is… not only did I fail, but I completely and utterly failed?”

Qian Xu gently soothed her, “There is still a chance next time!”

Next time? When is it? Luo Lan closed her eyes sadly.

All along, from time to time, her lost memory only gave her nice easter eggs. It never caused any trouble for her. It never crossed her mind that someday she would be severely pitted by her past self because of this lost memory.

————·————·————

When her wounds were fully treated, Qian Xu said, “Let’s return to the cave and wait for the next storm to end before we leave the forest.”

“Mn.” Luo Lan answered sullenly. It’s not like there was any use staying in the forest any longer, anyway.

She tried to stand up, but Qian Xu held her down. “Your wound has just been stitched, It’s better for you to not exert any force lest it opens up again.”

He squatted in front of her. “I’ll carry you.”

Luo Lan did not refuse. She gently lay on Qian Xu’s back and hugged his neck.

Qian Xu held her tight. He leaped from one rock to another steadily with her on his back.

They were going back to the cave.

Luo Lan thought of the reason why Qian Xu came to Big Gemini. He came here to be her guide. He paid special attention to her well-being so she could focus on her promotion task and advance to level A, but now…

Her heart was stuffed and her throat was blocked. She felt very sad, she whispered, “I let you down.”

Qian Xu smiled, “You don’t let me down at all. Instead, you surprised me once again.”

“Surprised you?”

“Your fight with the Yanfeng beast was brilliant. For the first time, I see someone use the beast’s strength to subdue it. As someone with level B physical ability, to be able to force the beast in its prime to back down, you should be proud of yourself. But…”

“But what?” Luo Lan urged nervously.

“But watching you fight, my heart was not calm. I was anxious. For the first time, I discovered that my heart is not strong enough.”

Luo Lan’s heart melted. The shadow of the physical promotion failure vanished by the warmth. A smile bloomed on her face and without warning, she kissed Qian Xu’s cheek.

Qian Xu’s footsteps staggered.

Luo Lan hummed and dragged her voice to tease him, “Seems like your heart is indeed not strong enough~”

She leaned to kiss Qian Xu’s cheek once again. Like a chicken pecking rice, kissing it again and again. Tenderly, from his cheek to his ear, from his ear to his neck.

“Xiao Xun, be good, we’re still on the road.” Qian Xu’s footsteps were no longer messy. It has become stable. Still, his cheeks and ears were slowly turning red.

“Oh, my~ A blush~!” Luo Lan grinned, proceeding to kiss his face and ears again.

Before, no matter when, Qian Xu was always calm and confident. Even when talking about love, he appeared to be very experienced. Though, occasionally, some unintentional little actions like this would betray and expose him. He was similar to her, a rookie in love.

Qian Xu was weak for her. He mockingly laughed at himself, “My girlfriend is a shameless one who likes to play hooligan, of course I can only be the one in charge of being shy.”

Luo Lan laughed. A very happy laugh filled with endless joy, “When we return to Alikarta, we’ll leave Odin; When we find a suitable planet, we’ll settle down; When your illness is cured, we’ll get married, okay?”

Qian Xu’s footsteps staggered once again, “Did you just propose to me?”

“Mn!”

Qian Xu sighed with fondness, “I never think there’ll come a day where a woman proposed to me. You are the first, and definitely the last.”

“So, do you accept it or not?” Luo Lan twisted Qian Xu’s ear, with a look of “Dare you to reject me, see how I will deal with you!”

Qian Xu curled his lips up, “I accept it!”
