My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

She tiptoed down to the first floor and looked at Luo Chen's backyard, with the moonlight spilling across it. Suddenly, Mei felt a pang of homesickness.

"What are you looking at?"

A sound broke the silence. Mei turned around in a panic and saw Luo Chen standing in front of the refrigerator with a cup in his hand, his gray eyes revealing no emotion.

"No, it's nothing, I just can't sleep."

Mei lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze, waiting for Luo Chen's questioning like a child who had made a mistake.

"Would you like some milk? It helps you sleep."

"Ok?"

Mei looked up and saw Luo Chen handing her a cup filled with milk.

"Thank you."

Mei took the cup and sipped it. Just as she was about to find an excuse to go back to her room, Luo Chen opened the back gate and gestured for her to follow.

"Can't sleep?"

Standing at the doorway, Luo Chen looked at Mei, who was wearing a nightgown, and draped a blanket over her.

"Autumn is approaching, please keep warm."

Mei wanted to refuse, but since the other person had already put it on, she could only blush and thank them.

"It's alright, you're a girl."

Mei held the cup without saying a word, wondering why Luo Chen had brought her to the backyard, and why he wasn't asleep so late.

The two stood there silently under the moonlight until Mei finally couldn't contain her curiosity and gently tapped Luo Chen's arm.

"what happened?"

What are you doing standing here?

Luo Chen looked at Mei, whose face was full of curiosity, and then turned to look at the flowers that Xuan Yu had planted in the backyard.

"When I can't sleep, I usually come here to stand for a while and enjoy the tranquility. I've tried it myself, and it works quite well."

"That's it."

Mei held onto the edge of the blanket and stood with Luo Chen for a while. Feeling a bit sleepy, she said goodbye to him.

A few minutes later, Luo Chen was about to go upstairs when he saw Xuan Yu sitting on the sofa with a smile, staring at him.

"Mom, you're scary! You walk so quietly."

Luo Chen realized that Xuan Yu had something to say to him, so he sat obediently beside her and waited for her to speak.

"Xiao Chen, what do you think of Mei?"

"How about what?"

Luo Chen was taken aback, not understanding what Xuan Yu was up to or why she was asking this.

"You and Mei seem to get along quite well, maybe..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Luo Chen interrupted Xuan Yu. He finally understood what his mother was thinking, but he was still a child!

"I'm only ten years old and you're already worrying about this? Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Hehe. I just thought you sounded quite mature, and I didn't realize you were still a minor."

Xuan Yu hugged Luo Chen, her gray eyes, identical to Luo Chen's, blinking excitedly, and said, "If you want, I can go and arrange a marriage with Mei's father. Anyway, I agree to this marriage!"

"You really love making a scene."

Luo Chen marveled at his mother's peculiar way of thinking. She was already thinking about marriage even though he had only spent less than a day with Mei.

'Although I quite like Mei, especially Shion's look.'

Luo Chen might be thinking something, but he would never say it aloud. If he did, Xuan Yu would probably find a way to help him pursue Mei.

Luo Chen has suffered a lot over the years because of his mother's amusing personality. She's always the first to find and enjoy herself, but he's the one who ends up cleaning up her messes.

Not to mention anything else, when Qingye Chuxue came to their house last time, Xuanyu urged her, who had no cooking skills, to cook dinner. Of course, the result was disastrous, and in the end, she had to clean up the kitchen and cook dinner again herself.

"Having you around is such a blessing! I'm going to sleep now."

Ignoring Xuan Yu's urging gaze, Luo Chen returned to his room, ready to end this peaceful day.

……

The next morning, Luo Chen went downstairs and saw Mei sitting on the sofa reading a book.

"Good morning, Mei-nee."

Good morning, Luo Chen.

Luo Chen sat down next to Ya Yi, looking at the book in her hand with a strange expression.

"You like reading horror stories?"

Mei was holding a collection of ghost stories, which Luo Chen had given her as a bonus when he bought a detective novel. However, he didn't particularly like this genre and hadn't read it yet.

"No, I'm just a little curious."

Mei found this book among the books Luo Chen had brought her yesterday. At first, she was too scared to read it because of the story, but being a novice who loved to play games, Mei slowly read on and became engrossed.

"Let me show you the study."

Luo Chen led Mei to the study. After pushing open the door, Mei saw a table placed directly opposite the door, with many papers on it.

On either side of the study are two bookshelves, filled with books, some of which show obvious signs of being worn out from frequent use.

"This study used to be used by my father."

When his father was mentioned, Luo Chen's eyes dimmed slightly. He ran his fingers over the books on the bookshelf one by one, and finally sighed.

"But I haven't been home since I can remember."

"Did you go out to work?"

"No, he is dead."

Luo Chen took out a book from the far side of the bookshelf and gently flipped through the words inside.

"This is my unreliable old man's diary, although it contains many strange things."

Although Luo Chen appeared nonchalant and indifferent, Mei noticed that his hands were trembling slightly as he turned the pages, realizing that Luo Chen must be feeling terrible inside.

"I'm sorry, I reminded you of something sad."

Mei, as if possessed, hugged the boy she had only known for less than a day and gently comforted him.

"Hey, Mei-nee, what are you doing?"

Luo Chen felt uncomfortable being hugged like that, and his ears turned bright red, though Mei didn't notice. This was the first time in Luo Chen's life that he'd been hugged like this by a girl his age, except for Luo Meng, of course.

Mei then realized she had been abrupt and let go of his hand, standing shyly to the side.

Luo Chen put the diary back on the bookshelf, pretended to be nonchalant, and explained the sections on the bookshelf to Mei in detail. Then he stepped aside and let Mei choose the books she wanted to read.

Mei stood on tiptoe, trying to reach a book on a high shelf. Her purple ponytail swayed behind her head, making her look very cute.

This was the first time Luo Chen had felt his heart flutter since he had been here for so long. He forced himself to remain calm and helped Mei take the book down.

"Thank you."

Mei smiled, making Luo Chen feel embarrassed. He turned around and immediately ran out of the study.

Luo Chen's embarrassed appearance made Mei laugh. Mei put her hands behind her back, hummed a song, and walked out of the study, where she saw Luo Meng curled up on the sofa watching TV.

"Meng'er, where's your brother?"

"It looks like he went upstairs."

"is it?"

Mei sat down next to Luo Meng, opened the book in her hand, but her thoughts kept drifting away.

'Luo Chen is quite an interesting person.'

Luo Chen ran back to his room and collapsed onto the bed, staring at the white ceiling as the temperature on his face gradually dropped.

"Help! I was already powerless against Mei in my past life, and now I've encountered a mini version, it's even worse!"

Luo Chen originally planned to have Xuan Yu send him to St. Freya in a few years so that he could make connections with the three starter families, but he didn't expect to meet Mei so soon, and they would even live together for a month.

"You promised to be reserved, but you turned out like this the next day."

Luo Chen got up and sat down in a chair, picked up a pen and paper and habitually wrote down his next plan.

"Let's try to get along well without affecting the plot, but that's a bit impossible. Oh my! Mei is so cute right now! She's so adorable! Hehehe."

"No! We can't go crazy anymore. Be serious! We still have a month to go."

"But Mei is so cute! Kiana, I'm so sorry!"

Chapter 165 Star River Enters the Dream

Yuno explained the general operation in a few words, then left the actual operation to Yuno herself, while she went back to slack off.

Yuno was somewhat annoyed that she had regained control of her body; Hai Yuno could take over her account, but she couldn't. This inequality made her very unhappy.

She gazed at the tree, having heard what Haiyuno had said, but whether or not to proceed, she still needed to consult Luo Chen's opinion.
