Their Story

"Beer, want some?"

Seeing Angel Yan sit down, Long Qian took out a bottle from his back and offered it to her.

"'Lei Hua, Bravely Charge Towards Paradise.' It's quite interesting."

Angel Yan took the beer Long Qian offered. When she saw the trademark, she was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Yeah, when I first saw the name, I was also stunned for quite a while. In my hometown, where I'm from, this beer is called 'Snow Flower, Bravely Charge Towards the Horizon.' As for this 'Lei Hua, Bravely Charge Towards Paradise,' it was just something some people made up for fun. I didn't expect that here, 'Lei Hua' is actually their brand."

"Hahaha, it's pretty funny, right!"

After opening the bottle, Long Qian took a big gulp and said with a hint of self-deprecation. He had no friends to confide in here and felt rather suppressed. However, Qi Lin and Qing Qing didn't seem like good people to talk to.

In the past, when he was in a bad mood, he would have close friends, good brothers, to eat and drink with, talk about life, and discuss unhappy things. When he missed home, he'd take a leave, drive, step on the gas pedal, and be home in a few hours.

Before, he wasn't alone, but here, he was truly by himself. He was afraid he'd die here one day, like that fellow villager, die here and never be able to go back. If he really couldn't go back, his parents would probably be the saddest.

"Do you miss home a lot?"

Angel Yan was a good person to confide in. Seeing Long Qian's voice falter slightly, she asked.

"Yeah, I miss home, very, very much."

Long Qian nodded honestly. He wasn't lying; he really wanted to go home.

"Can I hear your story? I'm very curious about how wonderful your world is."

Angel Yan produced a large pile of colorful liquor bottles and some snacks from somewhere and placed them directly on the table. She was ready to hear Long Qian's story, a story from a human in the real world. As for the liquor she brought out, it was naturally her own brewing stock from her leisure time, with a few bottles even aged for five thousand years.

"I was born in a small village. For the first twenty-something years of my life, there wasn't anything particularly special. My childhood was very happy. Junior high, high school, and college were all normal, just like any other student. In high school, I studied and dated. In college, I studied aimlessly, dated, and after graduation, I found a job that was neither here nor there, earning a meager salary, paying off the mortgage. Perhaps later I would get married and have children. It seems my entire life has been too uneventful. But I never expected that something as unreliable as transmigration would happen to me. My villa, sigh, it was only mine for a few months before it was gone."

The thought of his villa being gone made him feel even worse. Others came into the world with nothing and left with nothing, but he was different. Even in death, he wanted to take his house with him, transmigrating with his house. Wouldn't that be better for his parents? At least then they wouldn't get nothing and still have to pay off the mortgage.

"Mhm, indeed, your life is quite simple… but simple is also good. By the way, are we angels famous in your world?"

Angel Yan felt that Long Qian's life was indeed as simple as that of ordinary Divine River Body humans.

"Mhm, sort of. I remember which year it aired, let me think, right, 2014, around that time. You guys were popular for almost ten years, although your models have been changed many times. As for people who like you, if not millions, then hundreds of thousands at least, right? Fanfiction is countless, but many people don't approve of some of the official pairings."

"Ten years? Do you mean the timeline is different?"

Angel Yan caught a key phrase, something Long Qian hadn't mentioned before. However, it was normal that he couldn't recall many things; human memory is limited.

"Yeah, that's right. Here, this year is 2014, but in my world, it's already close to 2024."

Long Qian didn't feel there was anything to hide. This was the reality. Besides, he had already revealed so much to Angel Yan before; saying a bit more now didn't seem like a big deal.

"The one in your communication device, is that your partner? She's very beautiful."

"Her… I should say ex-girlfriend. Our love ended without a hitch. We met in college, were together for about four or five years, and broke up a year after graduation…"

"…………"

"What about you? My memory of you isn't very clear. I only remember your home is on Taro Star…"

Long Qian had finished his story, and now it was naturally Angel Yan's turn to speak. He also wanted to hear about Angel Yan's past, but Angel Yan had a lifespan of seven thousand years, so her experiences were incredibly rich.

"Me? Seven thousand years ago, I was born in a small town in the Duren Empire's Aslant on Taro Star…"

"Andrew, was he your first love?"

Angel Yan had just begun speaking when Long Qian interrupted her. He didn't know why this name suddenly popped into his head.

"Mhm, yes, he was my guardian knight. What, are you jealous?"

Angel Yan readily admitted it. Andrew was indeed her first love, a childhood companion.

"Mhm, a little, but not much. Do you still think of him? I remember he died protecting you, right?"

Long Qian nodded. He finally remembered some useful information. Angel Yan's past seemed to be from the official comic "Silver Wing Blade," but he couldn't recall too many plot details.

"Mhm, I do. Then I'll continue…"

Angel Yan smiled, nodded, and then continued her story. She realized she seemed to have fallen for this young man, Long Qian, with the same fluttery feeling she had when she liked Andrew.

Of course, perhaps it was also because Queen Keisha gave her the matching results that she found Long Qian more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Gruber, he's your second boyfriend, right? I remember it was his betrayal of the angels that caused huge casualties back then, right? Did you personally kill him in the end?"

"I haven't even finished talking, and you already know..."

"Oh, I just suddenly remembered."

"Don't interrupt me when I'm talking."

"Okay, as you command!"

The two chatted and laughed like this until late into the night, and Angel Yan's wine was also finished by them.

"Long Qian, do you truly love me, do you love Angel Yan?"

Angel Yan had finished telling her story, and she looked at Long Qian and asked very seriously.

"Mmm, maybe you think I'm too much of a player, but I do like you, like all of you. My love can't be hidden."

Angel Yan shook her head. She didn't agree with Long Qian's answer and immediately said seriously:

"You know, I got our matching data from Queen Keisha, and our matching degree reached an astonishing one hundred percent. You like Qi Lin, you like them, that's your view on love. I believe you won't die in a hundred years like other humans.

As for Qi Lin, her Super Gene determines her life limit. A thousand or two thousand years is her limit, so I'll wait for you for a thousand or two thousand years. Anyway, I've waited seven thousand years, so I don't mind another one or two thousand."

Long Qian was stunned when he heard Angel Yan's words. He didn't have a Super Gene, and his data match with Yan was a hundred percent. Wasn't this a bit too exaggerated, or as the system said, was it due to the uniqueness of his body from the real world?

"What about Qing Qing? Didn't you let her become my guardian angel?"

"I..."

Well, Long Qian's rhetorical question stumped Queen Yan.

She hadn't expected her own data to match with Long Qian, a human without a Super Gene, and so highly at that. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have asked Qing Qing to become Long Qian's guardian angel.

After all, she followed Sacred Keisha's righteous order and Sacred Keisha's data matching results.

Furthermore, she also knew that her Queen Keisha had matched her with another person, Ge Xiaolun, who was what Long Qian called the official match. However, their matching degree wasn't as impressive as Long Qian's because the database's matching system had already completed its update.

Therefore, our Queen Yan felt like she had lifted a rock only to drop it on her own foot.

She had completely dug a hole for herself.
