UGB Chapter 59 Lady Himeko, I believe in you!
Chapter 59 Lady Himeko, I believe in you!
Lu Li thought for two seconds.
Ok.
Never mind, I'll leave it for now.
Let it go.
After all, there wasn't even a task description.
He can't take the initiative to push things forward; it all depends on the system's mood.
Instead of guessing here, save your brain cells.
And now he's more concerned about something else.
He made his move yesterday.
Although Xing eventually activated the star core, the overall plot didn't deviate from the expected direction.
But he did make a move after all, and he made a very thorough one.
Forget about "stable plot", "butterfly effect" and "just being a spectator".
He threw them all away the instant the beam of light approached March 7th and the others.
What if we encounter a similar situation again?
Can he still hold back?
Lu Li pondered for a moment and then sighed.
The answer is already obvious.
I couldn't help it.
Once you can't resist, you can't resist again and again.
He's not a heartless person.
So instead of deceiving yourself, it's better to be honest and admit it.
Starting yesterday, he was no longer a mere "bystander".
After two years together, March 7th and his friends are no longer just characters he pushed in the game before he transmigrated.
Instead, they completely became his "family" in this world.
Not to mention that he now has the power to change those heartbreaking and regrettable storylines in the future.
But this means he may need to take on more responsibilities in the future.
More trouble, more danger, more... overtime.
Lu Li sighed silently.
The price of his comeback was much heavier than he had imagined.
"That's why I said I'm not cut out to be a hero..." Lu Li murmured.
Oh well, what's done is done.
Thinking about these things now is useless.
His desire to continue living a leisurely life as a salted fish remains unchanged.
But in the process... he should do what he can.
"……Um."
Just then, a muffled groan came from behind the curtain, interrupting Lu Li's thoughts.
Lu Li turned his head to look.
Xing's eyelids twitched a few times, then she slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils still somewhat unfocused.
"here it is……"
Xing's voice was soft, with a hoarse quality from just waking up.
It seemed to sense the gazes from the side.
Xing subconsciously turned her head and met Lu Li's gaze.
The two stared at each other for a second.
"Good morning," Lu Li said first.
Xing blinked twice, taking about five seconds to process the information in front of her.
The train's medical room, the next bed, Lu Li.
Then she sat up abruptly, and felt dizzy from the sudden movement.
I stumbled and almost fell off the bed.
"Slow down, what's the rush?" Lu Li was speechless but also wanted to laugh.
Xing steadied herself by holding onto the edge of the bed and looked up at Lu Li.
"Your wound—"
"It's all done." Lu Li held up his hand with the bandage wrapped around it and shook it. "It's just a minor injury."
Xing stared at the band-aid with the smiley face drawn on it for two seconds, then breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked down at her hands.
She still remembers what happened yesterday.
A beam of light, March 7th, and the figure rushing out to block her way.
Even though she hasn't been awake for very long, this is already the third time.
Every time she turned around, it was the same person standing in front of her.
"...You clearly said you were in logistics."
Lu Li: "..."
Lu Li coughed awkwardly twice: "Ahem, I've said it many times, logistics is also divided—"
"Levels," Xing finished his sentence. "Yes, I remember."
Lu Li: "..."
Well, this kid has a good memory.
The two remained silent for a while.
Xing opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she just looked at Lu Li very seriously:
"Thank you."
Three words, very short and very light.
But Lu Li was taken aback for a moment, then looked away and scratched the back of his head.
"Don't thank me. You didn't hesitate when you rushed out to stand in front of March 7th yesterday."
"She's the one who should be thanking you."
Xing tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's true."
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the infirmary.
"Knock knock".
The door opened, and Danheng walked in, carrying two train meals.
He glanced at the two of them, and after confirming that they were both awake, he placed the lunchbox on the bedside table and nodded.
"woke up."
Lu Li: "...Is that a question or a statement?"
Dan Heng ignored him and looked at Xing.
"How are you feeling?"
Xing stretched her arms and legs: "They're a little sore, but it's nothing serious."
Dan Heng nodded.
Xing looked around: "What about March 7th?"
"Don't worry, she's fine. She just stayed up all night watching over you and is now catching up on her sleep."
Xing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "That's good..."
Then Dan Heng turned to Lu Li, "By the way, Himeko said that if you wake up, she'll let you take Xing to find her."
Lu Li's eyebrows twitched.
The time before last, Himeko went to see him, and ended up being interrogated and talked to for a long time.
The last time was when I was dragged to spar with Dan Heng.
And the most recent time was when I was pushed onto the bridge to be a mascot...
So what is it this time?
I have a bad feeling about this...
"What did she say?" Lu Li asked tentatively.
"I didn't say." Danheng's answer was crisp and clear.
"...Where?"
"The observation deck of the space station."
Lu Li: "..."
Speaking of which...
The storyline after Star Awakening is...
He seems to already know why Himeko called Hoshi, but why did she call him along too?
If it were him in the past, he would have gone.
But because of the canopy and what happened yesterday... if he goes, won't he get dissected on the spot by that great lady with the pointed hat?!
"...Could you just say I'm not awake yet?"
"cannot."
Dan Heng refused decisively, and casually tossed a clean black and gold train uniform onto Lu Li's bed.
"Change your clothes and take Hoshino over. Himeko said the two of you can go."
Dan Heng turned and left after speaking, without even giving her a chance to bargain.
Lu Li: "..."
Fine, I'll go then.
Anyway, there were only the Starry Sky Train passengers on the platform yesterday, and nobody knew what happened.
As long as Himeko doesn't say it... uh.
She probably...won't tell, right?
He recalled how Himeko used to enjoy watching him make a fool of himself.
Lu Li: "..."
No, it's nothing.
Lady Himeko, I believe in you!
"Shall we go, Lu Li?" Xing's voice came from the side.
Lu Li looked over and found that Xing had already put on her shoes and gotten out of bed at some point.
Lu Li: "..."
As expected of the protagonist, his physique is truly outrageous.
I was almost blown to pieces yesterday, but after a good night's sleep, I was able to jump around like nothing happened.
Lu Li sighed.
Sigh, time to get up.
Even if I'm unwilling, I have to go.
Lu Li lifted the thin blanket and got out of bed, his feet wobbling slightly as he stepped onto the floor.
After a night's rest, the physical fatigue subsided considerably, but my mental energy...
Lu Li frowned slightly.
It seems that my mental energy was severely depleted because of what happened yesterday...
I feel fine in my daily life.
But if a battle is to be fought in the near future, the power of words...
Uh, why do I subconsciously think I'll be involved in battle again soon?
I'm supposed to be in logistics...
Lu Li fell into deep thought.
Never mind, never mind.
Let's take a step by step.
there is always a solution to a problem.
Moreover, once the stars get on the train, he might not even need to take action.
Yes, it is like that.
But speaking of which...
Lu Li glanced at Xing beside him without making it obvious.
Although it's highly unlikely that something will go wrong, Xing will probably choose... right?
"Lu Li, what's wrong?"
Xing's voice interrupted Lu Li's thoughts.
Seeing Xing's puzzled expression, Lu Li shook his head and walked outside. "It's nothing, let's go."
Yes, things have come to this point.
He didn't want the plot to go off track again and introduce unnecessary variables.
We need to find a way to get Xing to change his mind, cough cough.
Please get on the bus...
