We are from the future ark

Chen Qi did draw his sword against Chen before, but he never attacked Chen with his own hands.

It is impossible for Chen Qi to attack his close friends and family, even if they really want to kill him.

Once someone enters someone's heart, they will never be able to leave Chen Qi's heart. It is difficult to get into his heart, but if he can really get in, he will never forget it for the rest of his life.

Therefore, even if Chen really wanted to chop Chen Qi now, Chen Qi would not be able to fight back and could only hide.

At this moment, Chen and Chen Qi ran out of the wooden house. At this moment, Tallulah's eyes in the wooden house suddenly became clear again.

"…Alina, what do you want to do?"

"I thought you were going to cut me." Alina couldn't help but smile as she looked at the black sword in Tallulah's hand that was slowly dissipating.

"Don't interrupt, Alina." Tallulah frowned when she heard this, and said to Alina angrily, which was rare:

"You keep coming to see Chen Qi, what do you want to do?"

Tallulah was very calm. Except for the fight with Chen at the beginning, everything that happened afterwards was actually very calm for both her and Chen. Tallulah was never crazy, and even Chen, who seemed crazy and wanted to chop people, was not crazy either.

This pair of identical sisters actually exchanged glances and their own thoughts at that moment. This seemingly dramatic aspect was all under their control.

Chen is responsible for driving Chen Qi away, while Tallulah will stay here and question Alina.

"...Tallulah, you never got angry with me before."

However, looking at Tallulah who looked sullen at the moment, Alina, who maintained a gentle smile, finally spoke slowly.

And as soon as he opened his mouth, he dealt a critical blow to Tallulah's weakness!

"It seems that, in your heart at this moment, he is more important to you than me."

"No...it's not like that, Alina..."

Tallulah's whole body trembled, and she shook her head gently to deny it all, but she met Alina's tolerant eyes.

"I'm not blaming you, Tallulah."

"I am glad that you can find someone closer to you besides me."

Alina gently stroked Tallulah's somewhat uneasy face. However, Alina, who was still smiling, said something to Tallulah that shocked her the next moment.

"But I feel that you treat him and me very differently."

"I'm Xiaoqi's aunt..." Tallulah didn't know what Alina meant by this, so she just answered like a machine.

"I don't think so."

Alina smiled slightly, and said to Tallulah, whose eyes trembled slightly as if she had thought of something:

"Tallulah, you are a little different from him. He grew up so fast, but you are still as charming as ever even after so many years. You don't look any older at all."

"Perhaps when you were looking at the little him, you only had this thought in your heart, but now... do you really still think so?"

"I……"

Tallulah wanted to say that of course she could have this confidence, but before she could utter this sentence, many faces suddenly flashed before her eyes.

Ifrit, Skadi, Jessica... Have they not watched Chen Qi grow up? Having worked together in Rhodes Island for so long, who among them has not watched Chen Qi grow up?

But what about now? Aren't they still so close to Chen Qi? Isn't this just like her, violating moral ethics?

The reason is simple: the lifespan of the Terra species is too long, and Chen Qi... as an artificial life form, he grew up too fast.

The speed of growth made it difficult for them, the Terran species, to react. More than ten years might be fast for humans, but for the Terran species... it was really fast.

At least, for the Terra species which is still in its youth, it is really fast.

"Tallulah...Do you really want to be his aunt, or someone else? You have to think clearly about this."

"Today, I just came here to test his attitude, but now I am not sure anymore."

Alina slowly stood up, looked into Tallulah's slightly trembling eyes, and said with a smile:

"This kid is a very vigilant person. If he fails this time, it will be even harder to get him to talk next time."

"Tallulah, I'll leave the rest to you to figure out. When you've figured it out, you can tell me... If you're still not sure, you can ask me."

"I am your greatest support and I will never betray you."

After saying that, Alina slowly walked out of the wooden house and looked at the door of the wooden house that was kicked in pieces. She thought she would probably have to ask someone to repair it.

At this moment, Tallulah stood there in a daze, muttering to herself in a panic:

"Am I... Xiaoqi's aunt, or someone else?"

In her mind, she couldn't help but start imagining it, and even if it was just a fantasy, it made Tallulah's face flush with anger.

Not daring to continue imagining, with a confused mind, Tallulah finally left here...

It might take her a long time... to think clearly.

Chapter 242: Tallulah wakes up!

That night, Tallulah did not sleep the whole night. She suffered from insomnia, which was rare for her. As a drake, Tallulah should have been sleepy, but she did not close her eyes all night.

Ever since coming out of Chen Qi's wooden house, Tallulah's mind has been echoing with the words that Alina had just said to her, as if they were echoing in her mind all the time and could not be shaken off.

"Do you really just treat him as a nephew? I don't think so."

"You've never been angry with me before, Tallulah. He's obviously more important to you than I am."

"Tallulah, you should ask yourself whether you really think of yourself as his aunt, or... something else."

...Alina's words were like a lingering nightmare, making Tallulah unable to sleep. At the same time, her mind couldn't help but imagine...the things Alina said.

What if... I didn't think of myself as Xiaoqi's aunt from the beginning?

——Such a taboo thought began to emerge involuntarily from Tallulah's mind, and along with scenes, she began to imagine it in her mind...

That day was a very ordinary night. As usual, Tallulah dragged her tired body back to her warm little home after fighting or training. The space in the home was not big. She lay on the sofa, panting slightly. At this time, her dear Chen Qi would come out from the side, come to her side, and say to her softly:

"You've worked really hard today. In return, I'll agree to anything you ask for."

When Chen Qi finished speaking, Tallulah, who had been waiting for this sentence, turned over and instantly recovered all her strength, wanting to eat the boy in front of her, who she had watched grow up and had been inseparable from, from head to toe...

“——Uoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

No, it's too hard to say just thinking about it. Tallulah didn't know if she had drunk too much or if there were too many peaches this year, but she had such a taboo thought in her mind.

Tallulah! Wake up! You are Xiaoqi's aunt! Although she is not a biological mother and has no blood relationship with her, she is still a real aunt!

Even if there is no blood relationship, it is not allowed...

...no blood relationship?

"...Come to think of it, although Xiaoqi has the same last name as Xiaochen, it seems that she is definitely not Xiaochen's child."

Tallulah, who had previously covered her face with the quilt because of her taboo thoughts, couldn't help but mutter to herself when such a thought flashed through her mind.

This was indeed a misunderstanding that Tallulah rarely paid attention to. After all, when she started taking care of Chen Qi, she knew nothing about the complexity of Chen Qi's life experience. Many things about Chen Qi were only known to Tallulah after they were hunted by Ursus and wolf hunters and Hong died.

However, at that time, Tallulah had already treated Chen Qi as Chen's adopted son and had raised him for six years. Even though she had always known that Chen Qi was not Chen's real child, but only an adopted son, she still treated Chen Qi as her own son.

However, at this moment, when she thought that Chen Qi actually had no blood relationship with her, Tallulah's thoughts had some slight deviations.

If the biological parents are told that the child is not actually their biological child, their reactions may be all kinds of strange. Some may become furious, some may become frustrated, and some may even become hysterical.

And Tallulah didn't know whether her feeling was normal or not... She didn't feel angry (because she actually knew), nor did she feel frustrated. Instead, after thinking about this, she felt a little... a little bit of joy?

Tallulah did feel a little bit self-pitying because Chen Qi, such an outstanding young man, was not her biological son. After all, she personally believed that if Chen Qi was her biological child, as such an outstanding child, Tallulah, as his biological mother, would definitely feel very proud.

But if... you look at it from another angle... not as an elder, but as a woman looking at an outstanding man.

Chen Qi is indeed dazzling.

Although he was a playboy and had a lot of popularity with women, which was something Tallulah found very difficult to accept, but Tallulah was very clear that for such an outstanding man, most of the time, she would fall in love with him over time. At such times... it was indeed very difficult to give up.

If she were to be honest, Tallulah didn't actually hate the girls around Chen Qi. If she were an elder, she could even say that she was very happy to see so many girls around Chen Qi, which was also a proof of a man's excellence.

But...if you look at it from the same perspective...then it's a different story.

—Wait, why am I thinking this?

Suddenly, she came to her senses and was shocked by her own thoughts. Her heart skipped a beat, as if her heart and lungs had stopped working at that moment.

She was clearly thinking about whether she treated Xiaoqi as a member of the opposite sex.

Why... have you already thought about how to get along with the girls around Xiaoqi? !

Could it be that I really have that...

“Wuwuwuwuwu——!!!”

"No! No, no, no!"

Holding her bedding, she rocked back and forth on the mattress like a caterpillar, murmuring to numb her nerves, but she was unable to eliminate the increasingly intense thoughts in her mind.

Tallulah knew that she was taking a wrong path, and it was a path from which she might never be able to return.

……

The next day, Tallulah walked out of the room with dark circles under her eyes. After a simple wash, Tallulah slowly walked out of the room.

However, just as Tallulah opened the door, she saw Alina raising her fist to knock on the door.

"…It looks like you didn't get enough rest."

Alina looked at the haggard Tallulah in front of her, slowly withdrew her hand that was about to knock on the door, showed Tallulah an apologetic smile, and said gently:

"I'm really sorry, Tallulah, if what I said yesterday caused you any trouble."

"Well, although this is what I really said, I thought afterwards that you have been in contact with Chen Qi for a longer time than I have. You have even lived together for six years. If we talk about familiarity, your previous relationship should have lasted longer than mine."

"I shouldn't say too much about your affairs, but I still said it. I'm sorry if it causes you trouble."

"Tallulah, forget what we said yesterday. Just think of it as drunken nonsense. Let's—"

"——Alina, teach me how to cook."

However, before Alina could finish her words, suddenly, Tallulah's voice, which had cooled down and seemed to be struggling slightly but still uttered these words in the end, finally rang out slowly at this moment.

"......Huh?" Alina was a little surprised when she heard that. She looked up at Tallulah in front of her in disbelief.

"Tallulah? You..."

"—I have been thinking about it all night, Alina, ever since I returned to my room."

After taking a deep breath, Tallulah looked at Alina in front of her and said calmly:

"Your words have enlightened me. I used to think that I was Xiaoqi's aunt and that I should protect him well and keep him from getting hurt."

"...But later, I couldn't stand the pressure and had to send him back to Rhodes Island. We were separated for several years until we came here and met again."

"I have to say... Xiao Qi has grown a lot, both physically and mentally, and in character. He has grown to the point where... I can't help but even regard him as another person."

"...If it weren't for your words, I wouldn't have known that, before I knew it, I actually didn't mind being with Xiaoqi."

As she said this, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Tallulah's face. Facing Alina's incredulous expression, she gritted her teeth slightly and said lightly:

"——No, I should say that I can't imagine what it would be like to be with other people."

"I have only given so much to him. He is the only one who makes me give so much. He is also the only one who can make me feel so happy, angry, sad and joyful. I will give up everything for him."

"——I love him, Alina. I just realized now that I love him so much."

"But... I don't know whether this love of mine is from an elder to a younger person, or is it love between a man and a woman."

Tallulah gently covered her chest, as if she was feeling her heartbeat rising just now, and couldn't help but speak:

"I... don't know what I should do yet."

"But now I just want to do more for him, pave more roads for him, and make his future smoother."

"——I think I will understand all of this one day, for sure."

"Tallulah..." Alina couldn't help being shocked when she heard that. She felt that she had been frightened more this morning than she had been in all the previous years combined.

It was the first time she heard Tallulah explain her feelings so frankly, the first time she heard Tallulah say the word "love", and also the first time...she saw Tallulah so uneasy and so lost.

If she was not sure at the beginning, now Alina is 70% confident that Tallulah is definitely deeply in love with the boy named Chen Qi.

But I never noticed it, and I don’t even know when it started to deteriorate.

Maybe... it was because of my reminder last night that she truly faced up to this deep-seated feeling?
