Gu Mingyuan kissed away Mu Le's tears bit by bit.
Mu Le had always been like a child in front of him. Even though she had made progress in her studies and career and became a well-known and outstanding human being on the planet, she was still prone to crying when she was at home.
Gu Mingyuan kissed the corner of her eye very skillfully, which was quite different from the almost clumsy look he had shown at the entrance of the cinema before.
Mu Le wanted to laugh again.
She stepped back a little, then held Gu Mingyuan's face, leaned over and kissed him on the mouth.
Gu Mingyuan pressed the back of her head and kissed her.
Mu Le tasted a little salty in this kiss.
It's her tears.
She pressed Gu Mingyuan's chest to push him away, licked the tears at the corner of her mouth, and wiped her face with the back of her hand.
Gu Mingyuan stretched out his hand from her side and took a tissue from the table behind her.
"Thank you." Mu Le took the paper and wiped away his tears silently.
Although their appearance has not changed, their memories have returned and the way they get along has completely returned to what it was before.
Gu Mingyuan hugged Mu Le's waist and bent down to kiss her cheek: "You're welcome."
Mu Le rolled up his tears and whispered, "Then, then do you want to come with me... to look at my photo album?"
"If you're willing," Gu Mingyuan said, "I'd be happy to do so."
He pursed his lips, hugged Mu Le as usual, and reached for the photo album with his other hand.
… As a result, the distance from the table to the bed became extremely long.
Gu Mingyuan sat on the edge of the bed and couldn't help feeling that it was a little real.
Mu Le's current weight should be the same as that of an ancient dragon beastman of the same size.
Although the orc's tail and other features can be folded up, the overall weight will not change after folding up.
The girl, who was about 1.7 meters tall, was not light to begin with, and with the huge wings and dragon tail and horns...
If the human Gu Mingyuan had not inherited Gu Mingyuan's original daily exercise, his physical fitness in all aspects would have been very good... It would have been a bit embarrassing when I hugged Mu Le just now.
Mu Le didn't notice Gu Mingyuan's difficulty.
She was used to Gu Mingyuan holding her like a child. After sitting on the bed, she crossed her legs on Gu Mingyuan's legs and opened her photo album with great interest.
The first page of the album shows her when she was six or seven years old.
Mu Le touched his nose and whispered, "My parents passed away early, so I grew up in a relative's house... Before elementary school, I ate at many different houses, but few people took pictures of me..."
After I started elementary school, I lived with a relative who had children.
She and the child were in the same school, but they were of different ages and classes, so they didn't have much chance to interact with each other.
Only when the school holds activities and relatives come to the school to take pictures of the children, they will also take a few pictures of her.
So most of the photos in her photo album are of school activities.
There are also some group photos with classmates.
Mu Le couldn't help but laugh when he saw some of the group photos. He touched his classmates' faces with his index finger and said, "When I was in elementary school, Earth's communications were even more backward. After graduation, everyone went their separate ways... Basically, we had no contact."
It doesn't feel like we're on a planet at all.
After graduating from school, whenever a phone call comes in, I can always see the other person’s 3D image.
If everyone is a stay-at-home and does not leave the house, they can still play games with their friends on holographic devices.
It is also very convenient to see each other. You can drive or take a taxi, which is faster than taking a plane on Earth.
"I still remember a little bit about this classmate. We had a very good relationship at that time." Mu Le said, "Afterwards, I don't know where she went."
Gu Mingyuan originally found it difficult to imagine this situation.
But this time, in order to better integrate into this world, he entered his identity as a human.
So I have a lot of memories about life on Earth and common sense.
Naturally, I understood what Mu Le said.
He hugged Mu Le and touched her face with a bit of heartache: "Will you be sad?"
"No." Mu Le turned his head and kissed his palm hard, "I already have you."
Gu Mingyuan pursed his lips and kissed her forehead.
Mu Le flipped through the album again.
When she was in junior high school, she didn't have any new clothes to wear.
The relatives who adopted her would often ask her if there was anything she wanted. Sometimes when they bought clothes for their own children, they would also bring one or two pieces for her.
But Mu Le knew that he was living under someone else's roof and felt embarrassed to trouble them.
Every time I say that I lack nothing and I have everything.
Over time, the relatives stopped asking her.
She hasn't grown much since junior high school, and she only wears hand-me-down clothes.
Although Mu Le took good care of it and it didn't look very old... but it was very obvious in the photos.
I kept flipping through the same clothes.
Later, when I was in high school.
In the photo, Mu Le is wearing glasses, has thick bangs, and looks a bit hunched over...
Mu Le's face flushed, and she wanted to cover the photo with her hands so that Gu Mingyuan wouldn't see it.
Gu Mingyuan stroked the girl in the photo with his fingers and asked her in a low voice: "Glasses...Are you nearsighted?"
Mu Le nodded: "A little bit. But the degree is not serious... Maybe it's because I overused my eyes at that time..."
She lived on the planet for many years and no longer had myopia.
There is not even such thing as myopia on planets.
No myopia glasses either.
If Gu Mingyuan didn't have the memory of Earth, he might not even know what she was wearing.
He lowered his head and kissed Mu Le's face again, his voice full of heartache: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not so bad." Mu Le said, "Everyone studied very hard at that time. You should know that the slogan for the human college entrance examination was 'Study hard until you die'."
She seemed to want to tell a light-hearted joke, but Gu Mingyuan couldn't laugh.
Mu Le smiled softly and continued, "Or something like that, why sleep for a long time when you are alive, you will definitely sleep forever after you die..."
When she got to this point, she suddenly muttered, "Our education is quite strange. Normally, we don't want to talk about life and death, but at times like this, we can't stop talking about it."
"Don't say it," Gu Mingyuan held her hand and kissed it on his lips, "I don't like to hear you say it either."
Mu Le smiled and said, "Okay, okay. I won't tell you."
She made two more mistakes and felt even more embarrassed when she saw some photos of herself with a more obvious hunchback.
"This photo is..." She whispered, "Before, I was very shy and would hold my chest in."
Gu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment and didn't quite react.
Mu Le explained: "When I was in puberty... At that time, girls with better development would be laughed at. So, I didn't dare to stick out my chest..."
Gu Mingyuan frowned: "Mocking?"
"There will be some not-so-nice words," Mu Le said, "and some insulting ones, like cows... Sigh."
She was unable to continue speaking and bit her lip, looking pitiful.
Gu Mingyuan tightened his arms around her and looked like he was about to get angry.
…But the people who bullied her were not here at all.
They may even have started a family, had their own children, and lived a happy life on a distant planet thousands of light years away.
Moreover, even if he could fly to Earth and tear those who bullied her into pieces.
Those things that happened, where she was bullied and dared not raise her head, and was mocked by the opposite sex with insulting words, had already happened.
Those difficult years are over, she has come through them alone.
He was not by her side, and he could not go back to the past to protect her.
Gu Mingyuan clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
He was really angry, not only at those who bullied her, but also at his own powerlessness.
But he didn't want to scare Mu Le, so he could only control his emotions.
Mu Le leaned over and kissed his jaw.
His teeth were clenched tightly, and Mu Le could feel the bulge on the side of his face when he kissed him.
She smiled and reached out to touch Gu Mingyuan's face, whispering: "Oh, don't be angry. I've been fine for a long time, and look-"
Mu Le stood up, held his head high and turned around.
The long hair creates a beautiful curve.
"I'm growing up pretty well now." She said with a smile, "I'm still on the planet, you took good care of me."
"If I could..." Gu Mingyuan hugged her waist, "I really want to go back to the past."
Mu Le hit his shoulder: "Bah. I was only a teenager at that time, and the ones I liked were all idiotic little boys. If you had gone there, I might have just regarded you as an elder..."
Gu Mingyuan: "... I'll wait for you to grow up."
"That's not the case." Mu Le explained to him, "Humans and orcs have different ideas. If I treat you as an elder, I won't have any romantic feelings for you. I'll chase you and call you uncle every day, and even fall in love with other boys..."
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
Mu Le: "If you were nicer to me, I might even go too far and ask you for money when I'm dating other boys... You know, I don't like spending my boyfriend's money. But I can spend my parents' money."
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
He hugged Mu Le, let her sit back on his legs, bent down and kissed her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not kidding. This is a very serious guess." Mu Le counted on his fingers, "I was sixteen years old at the time. If I wanted to date, I would date a student. We were two poor students with little money. Eating and watching movies were a big expense..."
She smiled and whispered, "Students shouldn't have that kind of expenses, right? Whether on a planet or on Earth, safety measures are expensive..."
"LeLe." Gu Mingyuan kissed her mouth again with a straight face. "I'm not angry anymore."
Mu Le pulled his collar and laughed: "Why? If I told you that I'm in love with someone else, shouldn't you be even more angry? Don't you love me anymore—"
