After Yan Leyang came out of the training room, he went directly to the monitoring room next door to find the young lady. He found that Xiao Zhengtai’s face was pale, and the staff on the side were working hard to adjust his condition.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Leyang stepped forward quickly, “Was there something wrong with my state just now?”

“No.” Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand, and he took a deep breath, “I am old and have never seen this scene.”

Yan Leyang was stunned. The life span of the orcs in their world was the same as in this world, three hundred years old. But looking at Xiao Zhengtai’s appearance, he thought he was a young genius: “How old are you?”

“Teacher Bai is okay. Teacher Bai is only 98 years old and is an upright and mature man.” A little girl with a round face explained beside him.

Hey guys, this was not a shota, this was an adult body.

“Come on, Mr. Yan, let me ask you a question.” Old Zhengtai took a sip of water and calmed down. “Do you have any dreams?” Yan Leyang was so special that Old Zhengtai didn’t know how to face it.

Although there was no blood in the virtual battle, Yan Leyang was still too scary. Going up and killing instantly, with quick movements and terrifying power.

The old man was also curious about such a special person, how he grew up, what his inner thoughts were, and whether he had any goals.

“Well, my dream when I was a child was to become a bard.” Yan Leyang scratched his head in embarrassment, “Later I wanted to be a screenwriter and express my own thoughts to the world.” In fact, it was to express his loneliness, but the following words, when they came out, he was not just good at it, so pretending to be cool, he just changed his excuse.

“Oh? Why?” The old man, Teacher Bai, wanted to get to the bottom of it seriously. Everyone around Teacher Bai also looked at Yan Leyang.

Yan Leyang was really embarrassed: “That’s right, I have a feeling of loneliness.” That kind of not being understood by others, that kind of stubbornness that doesn’t want to be in a group. He didn’t want to become sleek and sophisticated, he wanted to be the original “Yan Leyang” forever.

But obviously, he failed. If he was not tactful, he would have nothing to eat.

“Oh, loneliness, I understand.” Teacher Bai’s understanding was that Yan Leyang was a special existence in this universe, so he was lonely.

Teacher Bai nodded and asked, “What about now?”

Yan Leyang was even more embarrassed and lowered his head in shame: “If you insist on saying it, since I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, just eat and wait for death.”

“I really don’t have any great ideals. I don’t understand the greatness of the Cat Clan, and what kind of tribe it is, and I don’t intend to understand it.” Yan Leyang was also very depressed.

Because he was not an all-around player, he could only write some scripts, but he had never written anything good. The bottom line was that he just had a good physique.

As for the technology tree, he didn’t know how to climb it. He only clapped his hands when others came up with inventions and called them awesome. He had a good face, but he was not good at acting and couldn’t make everyone in the galaxy fascinated by him.

The singing was not good either, and he didn’t know why he had traveled through time. And now what should he do? He was just trying his best to survive. Even if he lived in another place, he couldn’t put himself back.

Teacher Bai was choked by his ideal and could only silently praise: “It’s a very down-to-earth dream.”

“Thank you.” Yan Leyang nodded, “Do you still need me here? I may have to go back to cook.”

“You can also cook?” Teacher Bai was stunned. Cooking was a rare craft in the interstellar era. After all, cooking robots could handle everything.

“It’s okay.” Yan Leyang followed his own taste and was used to cooking by himself. “I learned from my dad.”

“Then have you thought about your future?” Teacher Bai suddenly asked again, “You have three hundred years in your life, how should you live it.”

….

Luo Ma finally came back, and together with Dai Zu, they entered the hall one after another and spread out on the sofa. After staring at the ceiling arrogantly for a long time, a sigh sounded, and Luo Ma suddenly looked at Lang Shiyi: “When did you get here?”

“Always here.” Lang Shiyi looked worried.

Luo Ma hadn’t slept for two days. It turned out that her love for science was still there, especially weapons.

She yawned: “What’s wrong with you?”

“I seem to like someone.” Lang Shiyi’s tangled words caused Luo Ma to stop halfway through her yawn, and Dai Zu, who was almost asleep beside her, also turned to look at him.

“Do you like Yan Leyang?” Luo Ma guessed.

Lang Shiyi was not entirely sure: “It seems so.” The princess’ words made him feel a little confused.

He felt like everything was right for him, but something was wrong.

“What does it seem to mean? Just be quiet.” Luo Ma was no longer sleepy. She planned to go to sleep only after eating this melon.

“That’s right, I was invited over by the princess today. I don’t know why she asked me to come over.” Logically speaking, Lang Shiyi should be repairing his own body now.

He roughly recounted what the princess had said to him before, and then looked at the two people who suddenly became excited: “Do you have any opinions?”

“I don’t.” Dai Zu lay back, “I don’t understand love.”

“I think what the princess said makes sense.” Luo Ma went up confidently, and she began to analyze, “Isn’t that what love is like? It always starts inadvertently, and by the time you find it, you can’t help yourself.”

Dai Zu, who was lying on the sofa, was thinking about a question. Luo Ma has never been in love at all. This thing is even less reliable than himself!

But Luo Ma didn’t know herself: “Do you have the urge to hug him?” She hugged her arms in an exaggerated way.

“Yes.” Lang Shiyi liked Yan Leyang’s animal form very much.

“Then you do like him.” Luo Ma concluded, “Do you want to kiss him?”

“No.” Lang Shiyi shook his head, “I want to bite his mouth.” But Yan Leyang’s mouth was too big, and Lang Shiyi could only get stuck in his face.

“Isn’t that just a kiss in your wolf clan?” Luo Ma said in annoyance.

When Dai Zu on the side heard this, he felt that Luo Ma had misunderstood. He originally thought that the two of them were a couple, but after observing for a long time, he found that there was no spark in their eyes at all. Maybe the two of them were brothers, but they were just clingier.

Before Dai Zu could speak, the door opened again.

Yan Leyang walked in humming a song, carrying meat and vegetables in an edible transparent bag that could quickly dissolve in water.

After seeing the three people in the living room, Yan Leyang was stunned for a moment, and then said hello: “Back?”

“Brother Yan!” Luo Ma was very enthusiastic.

After Yan Leyang went to the kitchen, Luo Ma squeezed Lang Shiyi again: “To be honest, don’t you feel that staying with Brother Yan feels like home?”

“Yes.” Lang Shiyi was even more confused. Emotionally, he was completely blank. Whether he liked it or not, he felt that what Luo Ma and the princess said were reasonable, but he vaguely felt that this was not the case.

Dai Zu couldn’t listen anymore and changed the subject: “Brother Yan, I heard that you went for a test today?”

“Yes.” Yan Leyang raised his voice in the kitchen, “The animal form of the mecha master who tested it for me was a hognose snake. It seems to be an albino, which is quite rare.”

“How did it go?”

“It should be fine.” Yan Leyang walked out of the kitchen. He was wearing a black and white striped t-shirt, and the sleeves of the white shirt he was wearing were pushed up to his elbows.

He wore black trousers and home slippers and had golden hair. When he smiled, his lake-green eyes seemed to light up.

Lang Shiyi fell into deep thought, thinking that he might like Yan Leyang entirely because of his face, but if it was just because of his face, did that count as liking him?

“Teacher Bai said he would build a mecha tailored for me.” Yan Leyang was peeling potatoes, “Then he asked a very philosophical question.”

“He asked me if I had any dreams, and I said yes, I want to just eat and die.”

“What a dream.” Luo Ma affirmed.

“Then he asked me if I had thought about the future and how I would live these three hundred years.” When Yan Leyang said this, Lang Shiyi had already looked over.

“How do I know how to live? When I was a child, I thought I would become a great hero or a wandering bard.” Yan Leyang laughed twice, “Only when you grow up do you realize that people still have to eat.”

“Brother Yan, you are different.” Luo Ma yelled, “Didn’t you do something earth-shattering and then were caught and thrown into Dawn?”

Yan Leyang couldn’t answer this question. He couldn’t say that he didn’t do the assassination. He just traveled through time and took the blame for others inexplicably.

After peeling the potatoes, he went back to the kitchen to fry shredded potatoes.

“Honestly,” Luo Ma sighed, “it feels really good to have someone cooking for me when I get home.”

“Yeah.” Lang Shiyi agreed.

“I can understand that you like him. In fact, I quite like him too.” Luo Ma patted Lang Shiyi on the shoulder, “Although it was because of his face at first.”

“Stay away from him.” Lang Shiyi said coldly.

“Eh? Why are you like this!” Luo Ma frowned, “I just analyzed it for you…”

“Stay away from him.” Lang Shiyi expressed resistance again.

“Hey, you look so tall.” Luo Ma moved to the side.

After everyone sat down at the table, Luo Ma and Dai Zu were back to their half-dead state, mechanically picking up the food. Lang Shiyi, who was sitting next to Yan Leyang, asked in a low voice: “Are you going to eat and wait to die?”

“I don’t know.” Yan Leyang didn’t know what his future would be like. “This is just a description, just like I always like to flaunt myself as a cultural person who doesn’t know how to fight.”

“That’s the translation.” Yan Leyang smiled at Lang Shiyi, “I’ll leave it to fate, but I will try my best to live my life well every day and cherish everyone I meet.”

“That’s all I can do.”

Something flickered, and Yan Leyang turned his head. Lang Shiyi lowered his head and found that it was the blue necklace hanging around Lang Shiyi’s neck.

The half-dead Luo Ma suddenly cheered up and patted Lang Shiyi on the shoulder: “Your man has a very good character, do you see it?”
