Chapter 32 Precognition
In the following days, Luka came to Qiao Suisui's bedroom almost every day, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night. On the contrary, Liberi came less often. Every time he came to see her, he would leave in a hurry after seeing that she was fine, as if he was very busy. The two men seemed to have discussed it beforehand, but neither of them had ever confronted the other.
In addition, the emperor repeatedly sent people to ask her if she had any needs in life, if there were any items that needed to be purchased for her baby, etc. She understood that this was a subtle reminder for her to give an answer.
When she sent someone to convey her wish to meet Lan Ze, the emperor quickly arranged it.
The meeting between the two was scheduled in the library of the imperial court. When Qiao Susu was brought in by the servants, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
It is called a library, but in fact it is more like a museum. Each exhibition hall has been restored one-to-one according to the timeline from the dinosaur era, the human era to the rise of the interstellar space, especially the ancient Blue Star era. The simulated scenes inside are almost identical to Qiao Susui's life before she traveled through time.
She stood in front of the huge glass and was unconsciously attracted by the layout inside, feeling very familiar.
“Is this your world?”
A pleasant voice appeared behind her. Qiao Susu turned around and saw a thin young man slowly walking down the spiral staircase.
He had a very tall and straight figure, but looked very thin compared to other males. His skin was the kind of white that comes from not seeing the sun for years, and he had short, neat dark blue hair.
When Qiao Susu saw his face, she couldn't help but sigh that if this guy had debuted in her era, he would have been a top star.
Because that face is so great.
Unlike Luca's handsomeness and Labrie's hipster style, his face is unforgettable. Unfortunately, his eyes are like a pool of stagnant water, without any focus.
Lan Ze walked down and stopped a few steps away from Qiao Susu and did not move forward.
"If you like, you can come here often. There are usually not many people here."
Before Qiao Susu came, she had heard that Lan Ze didn't like socializing and didn't often interact with people. He was usually either in his own bedroom or in the library. This was why she had never seen him in all the days she had lived in the imperial court.
"You should have heard about it." She got straight to the point: "I want to know what you think about it?"
Lan Ze was stunned, then shook his head and chuckled.
"It's really unfair to let me be your first spouse."
Sui Sui tilted her head, knowing that he couldn't see so she looked at his expression unscrupulously. Seeing that he didn't say this against his will or self-deprecatingly, but was refreshing and frank, she couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards him.
"I want you to be my first spouse," she said.
Lan Ze was surprised. He didn't expect her to say that. He thought Qiao Sui Sui was here to express her refusal because her father was her elder and the emperor. She couldn't refuse so she came to him to say it in person.
He knew what his father meant, and understood the importance of offspring to the family, but he didn't like to force anything. It was a waste for him to occupy the position of the first mate of the precious viviparous female with his own situation. He had no senses since he was a child, and he couldn't taste the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy, and couldn't smell any smells. However, these were all trivial matters. At first, he couldn't hear any sound. It was his father who had an artificial ear canal implanted in him. He knew that the world had sound. Later, when he grew up, he could gradually use his mental power to reach the surroundings. Although it could replace some visual functions, he had never seen colors and could only depict the shapes of people and things based on his mental tentacles. These were not the most terrible things. The most terrible thing was that he had no sense of pain.
This made it impossible for him to avoid or protect himself in time almost every time he encountered danger from childhood to adulthood. He even didn't realize he was injured and almost died.
Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, as he awakened his talent at the age of ten - precognition. At first, he could only predict some small things, such as the possibility of scratching tomorrow, which would lead to complications due to lack of timely treatment. After he predicted it, he began to try to avoid it, and sure enough, the rusty nail did not scratch him later. When he realized that he could change the future, he was undoubtedly excited.
But he soon stopped being happy about this talent, because he began to be able to predict the fate of others. Even if they passed by each other, even if they just stood together and breathed, even if someone just walked into the range of his mental power, he would uncontrollably and quickly see through that person's life.
He remembered that when he first saw the fate of the servant who had accompanied him since childhood, he collapsed. He tried every means to save his life and delay the arrival of that day, but he found a cruel fact: he could only change his own future through foresight, and the fate of others could not be shaken at all. Even if he informed and reminded them, it would become a self-defeating part.
He hated his talent, so he started to avoid contact with people and met as few people as possible. Because he knew what everyone's end was, he didn't dare to have feelings for anyone, because he was afraid of the feeling of powerlessness, the feeling of knowing what would happen to your future, but he could do nothing but watch it happen.
".So, I want to ask you what you think." Qiao Suisui saw that he was lost in thought and slowly told him the purpose of her visit. "Are you willing?"
"what?"
The surprised expression still remained on his face. Although he heard her words clearly, his brain was blank and he could not react at all. The only female he had ever met since he was a child was Isabel, and the number of times he had met could be counted on one hand. Facing the courtship words of this little female in front of him, Lan Ze's ears instantly turned red and bloody.
"You, you mean, let me, let me be your spouse?"
"Yes, the first spouse." Qiao Susu emphasized.
"why?"
"I need a home."
"Family?"
A 'home' built by her, where she makes the rules and has absolute control.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a base.
In the days since she came to the other world, Qiao Suisui has thought it through thoroughly. No matter who you rely on, there will be a day when you can't rely on them. Living in Luka's palace, Zongfang and the people of the Federation can take her away at will. Living in the birdcage built by Zongfang, he has the final say and she has no freedom. Living in the imperial court, even if Liberi can protect her temporarily, there will still be emperors who will control her with Luka's future as a condition. Therefore, only by having one's own world can one gain relative freedom.
Lan Ze didn't know what Qiao Susu was really thinking. He just kept muttering the word "home" and his face was visibly getting redder.
Qiao Susu took the initiative to walk forward and approach him, and after two steps she entered his mental power range unknowingly.
Lan Ze paused suddenly, and many scenes flashed before his eyes unexpectedly.
He was breathing heavily, clutching his clothes tightly on his chest. His blue eyes were as calm as the sea, but his heart was as turbulent as a strong wind and huge waves.
"you"
