My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

Si Ling smiled and found a chair to sit down. "Sister, on this planet, you can just call me Si Ling. That's my name on Earth."

“Names? We don’t actually have names. This is just a code. Before, when it was just the two of us relying on each other, the only code names we used were ‘you’ and ‘me’.” The woman frowned slightly.

"Because we are now on Earth, surrounded by individuals who are different from us, we need a new code name to refer to ourselves. I am called Si Ling, and you are called Meteor. Apart from that, we are no different from before."

The woman shook her head disapprovingly: "You've changed...you're a bit like...someone I've seen before."

"Isn't it good to become more like a human?" Si Ling smiled slightly, recalling Lu Zhao's previous comment about her. "I really like it this way. Before, it was just the two of us, and it was too lonely. Sister, haven't you been affected by humans at all after living in this world for so many years?"

"Human influence on me..." The woman's pale expression flickered for a moment, as if she saw a figure, but the illusory thought quickly vanished.

She looked at the steaming water glass in Si Ling's hand, took it from him, hesitated for a moment, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Feeling the warmth flowing silently through her cold body, finally gathering in her chest, the woman silently lowered her long eyelashes, as if carefully savoring the warmth.

A warm hand reached out and rested on the back of her hand.

She opened her eyes in surprise and saw her sister wearing a smile she had never seen before in millions of years.

“Sister,” Si Ling said with a gentle smile, and hugged her softly, “I really like this warmth, and I’m sure you will too.”

Is it warm...?

The woman's eyes flickered slightly, and she instinctively hugged her back, but the image that flashed through her mind was the one she had just thought of.

This time, however, the previously ethereal figure gradually began to take shape into a graceful silhouette, even accompanied by a few childlike voices:

"Big sister, did you save us?"

"You can call me Xiao Qiu, Qiu as in autumn. My mom says she loves autumn the most, with red maple leaves fluttering everywhere, it's so beautiful!"

The woman frowned uncomfortably, pushed Si Ling away, stood up unsteadily, and looked out the window at the sky. "Is it... autumn now?"

Si Ling stood up with her, somewhat puzzled. "No, it's early spring now. There are still six months until autumn."

No...it shouldn't be like this.

The woman blinked hard, trying to see the scene before her clearly, but a sudden pain shot through her chest, forcing her to take a few steps back.

"Sister, what's wrong!" Si Ling rushed forward to support her, only to find that the woman's lips had been bitten until they were bleeding.

“Xiao Qiu… I can feel it, Xiao Qiu is right around me.” She gripped Si Ling’s hand tightly, her face filled with panic. “Do you know her? Have you seen her?”

Xiao Qiu? Does that refer to Li Manqiu?

Si Ling, somewhat helpless, supported her. "We're looking for her too, but it's like she's vanished into thin air. Sister, do you know where she is?"

“I don’t know…” The woman’s voice suddenly weakened, and her whole body began to tremble, “but I can feel her presence, as if… she is everywhere, but I can’t find her.”

Seeing that she seemed to have calmed down, Si Ling nervously helped her sit down and patiently asked, "Sister, the Xiao Qiu you mentioned, is that Li Manqiu? How did you meet her? Can you tell me?"

The woman turned her head, and a look of reminiscence appeared on her face, which bore a seven or eight-point resemblance to Si Ling. "When I met Xiao Qiu and her sister, they were only four or five years old, tiny little bundles of joy. Because they were orphans, they were often bullied in the orphanage."

At that time, I was new to the world and couldn't find you. I also had a considerable amount of money, so after much thought, I decided to fund their schooling and protect them from being bullied by other children.

Si Ling was somewhat surprised. Could it be that the incarnations of the meteorite fall had no resistance to human infants?

It was one thing for her to have feelings for Lu Zhao, but now it seems even her older sister has feelings for Li Manqiu when she was young...

"Xiao Qiu has met me a few times and is very dependent on me, but I was in a hurry to find you at the time, so I didn't let them follow me. Later, I fell into a deep sleep and desperately needed the energy of my original body. During the few times I woke up, I built an alien planet and had them help me seize my original body. Xiao Qiu also participated. After that... I don't know anything else."

She rubbed her head, feeling a bit of a headache, and then grabbed Si Ling's hand, asking again, "Where is Xiao Qiu? Can you find her?"

Si Ling felt a chill run down her spine. Just as she was about to comfort her, her phone rang in her pocket. She didn't have time to answer it and hung up once, but the calls kept coming in.

"Hello, what's up?" I answered the phone with a sigh, and heard a sound coming from the other end, which sounded like someone running at high speed.

After a long while, Lu Zhao's voice came from inside, "Ah Ling, we've caught Li Yuyan."

Si Ling was overjoyed: "Great! What about her sister?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a voice with extremely complicated emotions spoke: "Li Yuyan said that her sister died a day ago."

Li Manqiu, is she dead?

She reacted for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at the woman whose face had turned deathly pale.

The conversation just now was heard by another person present without missing a single word.

Chapter 102 The Grand Finale

Lu Zhao looked at the woman who was being held down on the ground with a grim expression. He did not hang up the phone, but simply raised his hand to let them disperse first. He walked over alone and lifted Li Yuyan up with one hand.

"Tell me, what exactly happened!"

The face that bore an 80% resemblance to Li Manqiu's was now covered in mud, making it all the more endearing.

Lu Zhao knew very well that the person in front of him only resembled Li Manqiu in appearance; if it were the real Li Manqiu, she would never have shown such an expression.

Li Yuyan coughed a few times, her messy hair sticking haphazardly to her face. She looked at Lu Zhao in front of her, giggled a few times, and then said, "Why don't you ask the person on the phone? If it weren't for her, my sister wouldn't have died!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Zhao clenched his fists subconsciously when he saw that she still refused to cooperate, but he quickly realized that Li Yuyan was not talking about Si Ling, but about another person who was with Si Ling.

She roughly threw the person to the ground, turned around, and immediately picked up her phone, asking, "Hey, Ah Ling, did you hear me?"

There was silence on the other end. After a long while, Si Ling responded in a low voice, "Yes, I understand."

As he spoke, the other party hung up the phone first.

Lu Zhao pursed his lips, turned around and picked up Li Yuyan again, "I'll give you one last chance. You should know that I'm a person who always does whatever I want. Even if I accidentally kill you during the arrest, I'll only get a minor punishment when I get back."

Li Yuyan's face turned pale, and she glared at her resentfully. Her body trembled for a while before she finally relaxed and lowered her head slightly. "My sister... she sacrificed her own life in order to fully awaken Lord Meteor."

She used to hate her older sister because everyone liked her, even Lord Meteor, who favored her more. But that was her sister, the only sister in the world who shared the same blood as her.

"From now on, I will have no sister anymore." Li Yuyan said, then suddenly let out a heartbreaking laugh.

How could one person's life alone awaken a meteorite incarnation that requires enormous energy?

Wenruo's strength alone is far from enough, but if we add another person, someone energetic and willing to give their life for her...

"She's inside me," the woman murmured, her fingers gripping her chest.

That little girl, like a glutinous rice ball, who belonged to the autumn when snowflakes danced in the sky in her memory, now exists within her body.

Si Ling was at a loss for words, unsure how to react. She stared blankly at her sister, watching her display an expression even more human than her own—

A smile that's more heartbreaking than tears.

"Sister..." She tried to reach out to help the woman, but the woman waved her hand away.

The woman walked shakily to the windowsill, gazed at the clear blue sky, and slowly stretched out her hand, as if trying to grasp something in the air, but she could not grasp anything.

“Human warmth… Si Ling, you didn’t tell me that human warmth can also make me feel pain.”

Si Ling stepped forward, feeling rather uncomfortable. "Sister, what do you plan to do next?"

The woman smiled silently, took a long breath, and felt the cool air gradually filling her chest, where a vibrant life force was pulsating.

“I also have a code name in the human world; you should call me Meteor.”

……

"So, your sister is planning to travel the world, just like you used to?"

Having finally dealt with all the remaining debris from the alien planet, Lu Zhao lay exhausted on the sofa and turned to ask his lover a question.

Si Ling scratched her head. "She said that she hadn't had a chance to properly stop and appreciate the scenery of this world in recent years, and that if she ever got tired of traveling, she would go to see other worlds."

"Pfft! Cough cough..." Lu Zhao almost spat out his tea. "Another world? The world where my parents are?"

"Probably. I returned my sister's original body to her. If she wants to regain her power, it will only take a few years. At that time, opening the passage again should not be a problem."

Lu Zhao fell silent for a moment.

These two rocks from outer space have both developed feelings for Earth; it's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"By the way, regarding Wenruo, my sister said that once she recovers some of her strength, she will channel energy back into her as a reward for her sacrifice of her life to help her awaken."

Lu Zhao pouted: "Isn't this a bit too much? Wenruo is supposed to lie there for a hundred years! When she wakes up, everything will have changed!"

“This…” Si Ling touched her nose, “Then I’ll discuss it with my sister when I run into her another day.”

As she spoke, she shifted her position and pulled Lu Zhao into her arms. "Don't say that. High-level spirit races have extended lifespans. Living to be a hundred or two hundred years old is no problem. After you've been with me, your lifespan has been stretched to almost infinite. What's the rush?"

Lu Zhao was silent for a moment, then turned his head and frowned, asking, "Hey, what do you think we should do about Xiao Fei and Lin Yu? Their lifespans aren't even on the same starting line, are they?"

"Captain Lu, everything is resolved now. Could you please stop thinking about these things?" Si Ling rubbed the man's head helplessly. "They're not children anymore. They know how to deal with these things."

"Oh dear, I'm just habitually thinking of them. Wait while I make a call and ask... Hey, what are you doing!"

Si Ling snatched her phone away and then gave her a kiss that was almost suffocating.

He kissed her until her face was flushed red, then smiled and pulled her to her feet, saying, "Let's go, let's go upstairs and pack our luggage!"

"Why are you packing your luggage? Are you going on a long trip?" Lu Zhao, still stunned by the kiss, hadn't reacted yet.

Si Ling paused, then tapped her forehead with a hint of helplessness: "Have you forgotten? We agreed that once everything was over, we would travel around the world together!"

"Uh..." Lu Zhao scratched his face awkwardly and held up one finger, asking, "How about postponing it for a month? I still have a lot of things to take care of..."

"no!"

"Then half a month! A week! There are other things in the team that need my attention!"

Si Ling watched her bargain quietly, and only after she had finished speaking did she pick her up and carry her upstairs: "Don't even think about it! Pack your things and leave right now!"

Halfway there, she glanced back at the wall clock, watching the hour hand slowly move to the twelve o'clock position before bending down and giving Lu Zhao, who was still fussing in her arms, a brief kiss.

Happy birthday, Zhao Zhao!

Author's Closing Remarks

现在是2021年10月25日中午11点53分，我完结了人生里第三本书，这也是我的第一本原创文。

Well, it's like another burden has been lifted off my shoulders.

This book was actually conceived a long time ago, dating back four or five years. Although the subject matter is becoming quite common, it was a brilliant idea for me back then, when I hadn't seen enough films.

Of course, to be fair, I didn't write this book well. The plot is bland and lacks twists and turns. Moreover, for various reasons, I experienced the longest period of depression since I started writing books while writing this book.

Even so, I still insisted on finishing it because I made a promise to the readers that I would never abandon a book, and also because it was something we had wanted to write for a very, very long time.

I started writing this book in April, and from spring to winter, I have survived the most difficult period of 2021. I am very grateful to my readers for continuing to support me so that I can keep writing.
