Quinn had known all along that his Lia's Spiritual Power level was gradually increasing, but he hadn't expected it to be used to this extent.
The sunlight cast a golden glow, which fell on the white-haired boy's plain white clothes, making the platinum-gold light appear exceptionally dazzling.
Quinn slowly bent down, placed his hands on Leah's shoulders, and whispered, " Lia, do you need me to prepare a Spiritual Power testing device for you?"
The man's black hair fell across his forehead. A gentle breeze stirred the ends of his hair, but his golden vertical pupils, which represented a giant beast, did not frighten Lia; instead, they evoked warmth.
" Quinn, the Spiritual Power testing device—only two are allowed in a single hospital. How are you going to get your hands on one?"
Lia has never been a fearful person; on the contrary, if it weren't for the ingrained fear of giant beasts in his genes, he would definitely be a brave orc.
Quinn pinched his cheek. "You don't need to worry about that. What can't your orcs do?"
Lia shook her head. "Forget it, I can go to the testing site to test it. There's no need to prepare one at home and waste public resources. Let's talk about it later."
Lia didn't know how her little mouth could lie so easily. Actually, she also had one, but it needed to be taken out and repaired. Before that, she also needed to read books to learn how to repair it...
However, to avoid distracting Quinn and causing him to expend too much energy on himself, Lia preferred to handle things herself rather than bother him.
Quinn sighed softly and kissed his platinum eyebrows. " Lia, you're my first choice. You can be spoiled, you can be willful, you can have whatever you want, I'll give you whatever you want... Your lack of desire makes me feel like a useless orc."
Looking up at Quinn's helpless gaze, Lia found it somewhat amusing. "I want to understand everything about you, but you want me to be your stumbling block?"
Hearing this, Quinn couldn't help but hug the tiny boy tightly. "What stumbling block, Lia, don't say that anymore. It makes me sad, it hurts me. I just want you to need me..."
"Cough cough cough!" Ma Que was already seething with jealousy. Could someone tell him if his boss had been genetically modified or had a split personality?
This sticky, gooey texture doesn't look like a giant python at all!
Interrupted by the cough, Quinn gave Ma Que a murderous look before quickly getting back to the point, " Lia, would it be convenient to have someone come over tomorrow to do data testing?"
Lia nodded. "Of course, there's no conflict of interest involved. It just makes the plant grow instantly, without modifying its genes."
"Alright, let's go back. Lia's feet will get dirty if she steps in the mud." Quinn instantly scooped him up in his arms, his Spiritual Power cleaning his feet in an instant.
Lia: "..." It seems he accidentally hooked up with a silly, long-legged guy.
Quinn was the best orc to him, and he suddenly felt fortunate to have met Quinn. Otherwise, he might have died alone in a cave on a desolate planet.
He didn't want to find a way out on the desolate planet, because once he stepped out of his small circle, he would definitely encounter all sorts of ferocious beasts. If he provoked them, who knew what irreparable things might happen? So at that time, he chose to give up.
Also grateful that her slacking off had met Quinn, Lia couldn't help but laugh out loud, " Quinn, if you meet an orc who interests you more in the future, will you bring him home?"
Quinn stopped abruptly. " Lia, you must be crazy. I would never betray you."
Then, Lia calmly said, " Quinn, we're not even in a relationship yet; it's never been defined."
Quinn looked down at the person in his arms. "I thought I'd made it very clear, Lia. What do you really want? Not to marry me... and now you're asking what our relationship is."
Lia reached out and touched the man's soft earlobe, where a black gemstone stud adorned the ear. " Quinn, you've lived for a hundred years and never been in a relationship?"
Upon hearing this, Quinn suddenly realized, "I understand, I'll prepare it tomorrow." Damn it! He actually let lovely Lia bring it up herself!
Lia: "?"
The next morning
Lia saw a sea of pink roses in her home, a scene straight out of a romance novel on the Star Network.
He stared in disbelief as Quinn knelt on one knee, took out a chip, placed it in his palm, and solemnly swore. "Luo Beishi Emilia, I, Huo Cixiao Quinn, request to become your lover. I will love you and protect you..."
Yesterday, he only mentioned it briefly, also to prevent a situation like his wealthy stepmother's, where her father was still at home but her stepmother brought other orcs home, and her father, who was living off his wife, often cried and was always worried that he would no longer be able to live off her.
Similarly, Lia didn't want anyone to take away his Quinn... and if the other party was also a beast, he would be powerless to resist in his current state.
Therefore, he needs a commitment now more than anything.
But what's the difference between this line and a marriage proposal? Quinn taking this way way too seriously!
Quinn looked up at him with deep affection, " Lia, will you be my lover?"
He was confident that he could win Lia's heart soon and have Lia marry him.
Lia took the chip. If she wasn't mistaken, it contained Quinn's genetic sequence. In other words, with the data from this chip, if Quinn suffered severe, irreparable damage, or lost any vital organs, the chip could regenerate them.
Lia: "Even though I am still very weak now, I am willing and hope to be your help and your support, Quinn."
There were only the two of them present. A breeze from outside the window carried the sweet scent of flowers to his nose. Quinn instantly pulled Lia into his arms. " Lia, do you know? You're incredibly cute, so cute I want to devour you."
Aya: "... It seems I did agree too soon."
Quinn gently nuzzled his fair, youthful cheek. " Lia, you've already promised me, you can't go back on your word."
-
Because Quinn's actions were so drastic, news quickly spread across the Star Network: the Dean of the Academy of Sciences was suspected of having a romantic relationship, and in order to win his lover's heart, he spent 10 billion Star Coins to buy up all the pink roses on the entire Central Star!
When Lia first saw the news pop up on the Star Network, he thought it was exaggerated. It wasn't until he took Quinn's hand and went to the backyard that he discovered there was also a sea of flowers outside the villa! These are extremely rare plants in interstellar space!
" Quinn, you're such a spendthrift!" Lia regretted it; her heart was bleeding. How many star coins would that cost!
He should have told Quinn to keep things simple... Now it's too late to regret it.
Quinn, amused by Lia's distressed expression, pinched his cheek.
"Old... no, Lia, I'm very rich. I have many patents, and I earn a lot of money every day. You can spend it all as you like! You can't spend it all."
Lia felt frustrated. "You should have told me beforehand!"
