(I'd like to apologize first. I originally planned to update two chapters over the weekend, but it turned out that I had nothing to do this weekend. I took the kids out for a bit of fun during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and I'll update it when I get back.)
"Because you three are special." Xiao Ran smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Sting's head. He found a place to sit down and patted his side gently. "Since you want to know, then I will tell you."
When Stella saw Xiao Ran sitting down, she was the first to rush to Xiao Ran's side and then collapsed on Xiao Ran. Orro looked at Xiao Ran and then at Sting, and finally He sat on the other side of Xiao Ran, but as soon as he sat down, he saw Stella's red eyes staring at him fiercely. He stood up again and hurriedly sat next to Sting, but he looked at Stella with envy for being able to be close to Xiao Ran.
And Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh when he saw the three little guys who were completely different from the other world. You must know that in the other world Stella was the most cared for and the least sensible one. Although Orro was usually a bit unconventional, he was a qualified brother in front of Stella. How could he be as Low Guts as the current Orro.
However, the current situation of the three people is excusable. Originally, Orro had a mother-like person in the Rhodea Research Institute. She was a female researcher who was responsible for taking care of him. In that environment, she was really good to him, and some Low Guts were also justified.
After subsequent joint modulation and memory modification, Orro became something else. However, this Orro must have gradually matured as it grows older. In fact, Orro should actually be as old as Sting, but no matter how you look at it, Orro is only about the same age as Stella.
The three of them sat obediently around Xiao Ran. Sting also looked at Xiao Ran with curious eyes, wanting to know why Xiao Ran was so special and kind to the three of them.
At this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened, and Lacus walked in carrying a plate filled with a lot of food. After seeing Xiao Ran, he nodded and smiled at Xiao Ran, then walked over and placed the plate in the middle, tilted his head and asked, "Is it time for the good baby to listen to stories and sleep now?"
"Sister Lacus." Stella waved to Lacus happily. Lacus, who was not much older than Stella, touched Stella's face as if coaxing a child. "Hello Stella, I've brought you something to eat."
Sting, who had just sat down, pulled Orro to stand up again and said politely, "Thank you for taking care of us, Miss Lacus."
"It doesn't matter." Lacus smiled and shook his head, glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "After all, you should be very special people to him."
"Haha, please Lacus." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled when he heard what Lacus said. He raised his hand to signal Lacus to sit down and faced Sting Orro and Stella beside him said, "You three are indeed very special to me. To a certain extent, you are actually like my children. Wouldn't a father treat his own children very special?"
"Huh?" Stella tilted her head and looked at Xiao Ran completely confused, while Orro looked at Xiao Ran's masked face and was slightly lost. "Father...?"
Sting didn't quite understand what Xiao Ran wanted to express, but he could tell that Xiao Ran treated them like children. Although he was still a little confused, it was enough for Sting to have such an explanation in his heart.
Only Lacus, only Lacus knows that Xiao Ran still has a lot of things that he has not said. As for the reason, Lacus has probably guessed some of it. These three children should be with Xiao Ran has a deep intersection in another world, and Xiao Ran is leaving this world after all, so he doesn't want to bring the relationship from another world deeper into this world, lest these three seemingly fragile children cannot accept it on the day he leaves.
Although he had guessed this, Lacus was even more curious about what happened between Xiao Ran and these three children. Lacus was sometimes very curious, but Lacus knew that now was not the time to ask about this, so he acted as if nothing had happened and just smiled at the exchange between Xiao Ran and the three children.
Finally, Stella lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Lacus took the initiative to cover Stella with the quilt for Xiao Ran. Sting and Orro also did not want to disturb the sleeping Stella and left the room. Lacus finally had the opportunity to ask the questions he wanted to know.
"What is the relationship?" Xiao Ran looked at Lacus sitting next to him, shook his head and smiled and explained to Lacus what the relationship was between the three little guys in the other world and him. They were his subordinates when he lost his memory, and brainwashed the three children many times under his control. After regaining his memory, he left the alliance with the three children, and the three children followed him until later.
It is very simple to say, but it can also make Lacus understand the intersection between them. The two of them just talked in a low voice in the room, and Lacus would also ask Xiao Ran from time to time. Asked something about another world, Xiao Ran who could answer all answered, but Xiao Ran who couldn't answer just looked at Lacus with a smile and shook his head slightly.
More than half an hour passed like this, and the communication in the room suddenly rang. Xiao Ran frowned, stood up, and quickly walked over to connect the communication. The figure of the war captain Hu Luo appeared in the screen projection.
"Captain, news just came from Orb. A group of unknown enemies have appeared in our northeastern joint territory. They are currently fighting Earth Force. However, the coalition does not have enough strength to resist and has been retreating steadily."
Xiao Ran heard this information and asked directly, "Distance."
Hu Luo immediately replied, "It is estimated that it will take ten hours to continue moving at the current speed. It is estimated that it will only take three hours to leave the sea and enter the sky at full speed."
"Hurry over at full speed and send me any information you have."
Hu Luo nodded. "Understood."
After the screen dimmed, Lacus, who had already walked to Xiao Ran, also asked softly, "Could it be an alien?"
"It's very possible." Xiao Ran nodded, then opened the map and looked at the northeast direction. Judging from the time, the northeast of the location from Orb is near the Far East, which is indeed within the territory of the Union. However, when it comes to the Far East, Xiao Ran is really not sure whether the enemies the Union faces are aliens.
You must know that the Far East is prone to disasters no matter which aircraft war it is involved in. Until more definite information is transmitted, Xiao Ran cannot guarantee what is going on.
