Chapter 1206: Chapter 1199: Cherish as You Go

"I understand, I’ll take good care of them," Zhuyan Yu nodded in response.

"Good, everyone get ready. In three days, Ronisca’s commercial airboat will arrive, and you will board it to head to Helros, preparing to embark," Wang Xu continued.

Leaving home again soon, Luo’er’s mood inevitably became melancholic once more. After leaving the meeting room, he took the opportunity to pull Baiyue aside and then gave her the gift he had prepared.

"This is..." Baiyue’s eyes widened as she looked at the box he handed her.

The box was made of paper, featuring a painting by the Snow Elves themselves. Although the Snow Elf’s goods were expensive, just looking at the packaging of the box made it seem worth more than what was paid. At least the tourists visiting Lipei wouldn’t feel ripped off; rather, they’d be happy to spend their money.

"Open it and see," Luo’er said expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Baiyue opened the box and instantly lit up at the sight of its contents. It was a beautiful pendant polished from a magic crystal from the Otherworld, with a pale blue magic crystal inlaid in a golden pendant, looking quite stunning.

"We passed a shop owned by a Snow Elf. We just went in to look, but I thought of buying this gift for you," Luo’er explained.

Facing the gift from Luo’er, the usually composed Baiyue could hardly conceal the excitement in her heart. Joy spread across her face, and her furry ears involuntarily stood up, starting to warm.

"Thank, thank you..." Baiyue stammered in excitement.

"It’s nothing, really. When I think about it, we’ve fought side by side for so many years, and I never had the chance to celebrate your birthday. It truly is a neglect of my duties as captain," Luo’er said.

"Is it because you are the captain that you are giving me this gift?" Baiyue asked, lifting her head, somewhat nervously.

"Not entirely..." Luo’er scratched his head, somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh..." Baiyue’s voice trembled as she lowered her head. Although Luo’er hadn’t said it directly, she had understood his feelings. Her heart pounded violently, like a little deer running amok.

"About that, about that... what about Sister Moumou when you give gifts?" Baiyue hesitated for a long time, then asked tentatively, still looking down.

"Oh, don’t worry, I’ve prepared a gift for her too," Luo’er said, waving his hand.

"Then I’m relieved..." Baiyue said, feeling inwardly bitter but also as if she had been relieved of a great burden.

She wasn’t the type who could accept other girls loving Luo’er, but she knew that if she were thinking of Luo’er’s best interests, she had to consider his relationship with Tangmo.

Because, a romance between a human and an elf was doomed to be a lonely tragedy.

Luo’er, being a half-elf, possessed a long lifespan. Tangmo was of Dwarven mixed heritage, and as Dwarves were a sub-race of elves, she also would have a long lifespan. By contrast, as a mixed member of the Sub-beast Race, Baiyue’s lifespan was no different from that of an ordinary human.

A hundred years later, she would pass away, while Luo’er would still be in his prime. She couldn’t bear the thought of Luo’er spending his life alone because of her, given his extended lifespan.

Thus, whether Baiyue liked it or not, as long as she cared for Luo’er, she had to think about the latter half of his life.

In the days without my company, please allow the next girl to love you just like I did.

Baiyue’s mind was filled with countless thoughts, and she couldn’t help but shed tears that fell onto the box. She felt a warm surge in her nostrils and quickly sniffed to hold it back.

"Isn’t giving a gift supposed to be a happy occasion? Why are you crying?" Luo’er asked somewhat frantically.

"No, I’m crying because I’m happy," Baiyue sniffed hard, then raised her head to reveal a smile.

"Consider this a small token of my feelings, for the rest of our lives, let’s cherish every moment," Luo’er said earnestly as he looked at her.

"Yes, for the rest of our lives..." Baiyue started to say but shyly faltered, lowering her head again.

Having bid farewell to Baiyue, Luo’er wandered off in a somber mood in search of Tangmo. Frankly speaking, for a traditional and honest man like him, liking two girls at the same time was indeed too troubling.

The love story of his parents that he had witnessed since childhood taught him that men and women should be like the Even Origin Particle Group, where Yin particles and Yang particles intertwine with each other. If another Yin particle were added, it would become the Odd Origin Particle Group. According to Nightingale, this kind of particle group was highly unstable and would release a tremendous amount of energy.

He hadn’t walked far in the campus when he spotted Tangmo sitting on a bench talking to a service robot, so he went straight over.

"Ah, Luo’er!" Noticing Luo’er’s arrival, Tangmo immediately turned around, excitedly calling out to him.

From the tone of her call, Luo’er deduced that she must be Moumou. In fact, for Luo’er, he did not need her tone to figure out which personality she was because Moumou and Momo had a significant difference in temperament, detectable just by being near her.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing her caressing the round service robot, he asked curiously.

"I always felt like you had something to tell me, so I waited here on purpose," Tangmo said with a smile.

"Is that intuition?" Luo’er asked somewhat surprised.

"Momo told me," Tangmo responded.

"Well..." Luo’er nodded somewhat speechlessly, feeling relieved at heart.

"I saw you went to find Yue’er, so I didn’t cling to you and waited here on purpose, I’m quite well-behaved, aren’t I?" Tangmo squinted her eyes, revealing an elusive smile.

"Uh..." Luo’er, having his feelings guessed, shamefully bowed his head.

"Sir, stepping on two boats is not right, we should promote civilized love." The service robot, having overheard their conversation, even took it upon itself to speak up like a gossiping bystander.

"If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense!" Luo’er glared at it, feeling even more embarrassed.

"Bigamy is illegal, according to the criminal law section 285..." The service robot was saying, but Luo’er interrupted it.

"Mind your own business, why meddle in other people’s private affairs?" Luo’er said somewhat annoyance.

"Would you like me to shut up?" the service robot inquired.

"Yes, immediately!" Luo’er affirmed with a nod.

"Does this lady think the same?" Unexpectedly, the service robot’s conversation logic was astonishingly advanced; speaking with it was no different from talking to a normal person, and it even knew to ask for Tangmo’s opinion.

"You say what you want, I don’t mind you acting like the third wheel," Tangmo said with a smile.

"Okay, I’ll observe for a bit then, please allow me to stand by your side and act as the third wheel." With that, the service robot shut its mouth, and even started flashing lights, actually acting as a third wheel.

"Alright, let’s ignore it, it’s quite amusing. Come here, what did you really want to tell me?" Tangmo waved Luo’er over and asked.

"Sigh," Luo’er sighed, shot a look at the service robot, and then walked up to Tangmo, pulling a box out from his embrace.

"Is this... for me?" Tangmo widened her eyes, tentatively asking. Although she hadn’t seen the contents of the box, unlike Baiyue, she was less adept at hiding her emotions, and excitement was already spilling across her face.

"We passed a Snow Elf-run handicraft workshop, so I went in and bought some gifts, I hope you like them..." Luo’er said, becoming more embarrassed as he spoke.

Tangmo, without a word, excitedly took the beautifully wrapped box. Opening the box, she found an equally exquisite pendant made of gold with an inlaid magic crystal, but unlike Baiyue’s, this pendant’s magic crystal was dark red, symbolizing Tangmo’s fiery and passionate personality.

The Advance Team, due to mission constraints, forbade girls from wearing earrings, so they could only opt for pendants and similar jewelry for adornment, and Luo’er’s purchase was considered with this in mind.
