Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ze let out a long sigh of relief.

He leaned back on the bench, gazing at the sky above, fragmented by the green trees, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

His worst fears did not come true.

Although Fu Xuan was sharp-tongued, his concern for her was unmistakable.

The resentment she had accumulated over those thirty years was real, but it didn't matter; she was still the same Fu Xuan who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

All we need to do next is find a way to go back, and then we can coax her back to how we used to be and get back to our close relationship.

Putting his phone away, Lu Ze stood up from the bench and patted the fallen leaves off his pants.

Let's put things with Xing for now; I haven't seen Sirin and Bella for two years.

Although not much time had passed in this world, it felt like more than 700 days since he had last seen the two of them.

After walking for about ten minutes, Lu Ze returned to his front door.

As I pushed open the door, before I could even take off my shoes, a figure in light purple rushed into the entryway.

Bella stood with her hands on her hips, head tilted back, her light blue eyes filled with displeasure, yet her words carried a hint of concern.

"Human, do you know what time it is? The food is getting cold."

Lu Ze was stunned for a moment, his memory suddenly pulled back to that afternoon after class by those words.

At that moment, he had just stepped out of the classroom when he received a call from Bella urging him to go home and cook dinner. She even joked that she should have Sirin open a portal to pick him up, which made Bella so angry that she hung up the phone.

He was then teleported to the immortal ship Luofu.

"Hmph, Her Majesty the Queen and I are already full. You can have what we leave behind."

After Bella finished speaking, she turned her head, her short, light purple hair whipping through the air in a clean arc, and walked away without looking back.

Lu Ze was both amused and exasperated by her arrogant demeanor.

He changed into slippers and went into the kitchen. Sure enough, there was a meal carefully wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator.

The meal consisted of two dishes and a soup, with portions larger than a single serving, clearly intended for him.

He put the food in the microwave to heat it up. It was already past midnight when he returned from Xianzhou, so he treated it as a midnight snack.

Just as they were sitting at the table eating, Bella quietly came over again, her little face stern as she gave them a reminder.

"Remember to put the dishes in the sink after you finish eating, so I can wash them all together later."

Lu Ze paused for a moment with his chopsticks.

During those two years on the Immortal Ship, he cooked most of the time. When Fu Xuan was busy, he even had to be fed, let alone cook.

The work at the Taibu Si Library was leisurely, and his greatest pleasure each day was researching new recipes to eat with Fu Xuan when he got home from get off work.

It feels quite comfortable to suddenly be served like this again.

Then, Lu Ze gave a self-deprecating laugh, secretly lamenting that he was being too sentimental.

Looking at Bella's seemingly indifferent face, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart and couldn't help but reach out to touch her head.

Bella took two steps back warily, her light blue eyes filled with disdain.

What are you doing?

Lu Ze's hand froze in mid-air, and he reluctantly withdrew it, touching his nose somewhat embarrassedly.

He was used to doing this, and he often did it to Fu Xuan. Just now, for a moment, he overlapped Bella's and Fu Xuan's shadows.

"By the way, where's Celine? I haven't seen her."

Lu Ze withdrew his hand, picked up his bowl and continued eating, while also changing the subject.

I haven't seen Celine since I got back. Bella is the only one watching TV in the living room.

Bella's expression suddenly became somewhat awkward, her gaze drifting towards the corridor, her pale purple eyelashes fluttering twice.

"Her Majesty the Queen is in your room."

Lu Ze was taken aback.

What was Celine doing in his room?

He put down his chopsticks and quickly recalled everything in his room, making sure there wasn't anything that shouldn't have been found.

Bella noticed his confusion and added another sentence.

"Her Majesty has requisitioned your computer."

What?

Lu Ze almost dropped his chopsticks on the table.

What does Celine use the laptop in his room for?

She had never even seen modern electrical appliances in the Tower of Babel, yet she was able to turn on a computer by herself after only a week?

Lu Ze suddenly felt that it would be better to eat this meal quickly.
