Interstellar Marriage Guide

Chapter 13 - Meeting again

T/N: Too much EOY stuff going on, so updates to IMG will be irregular. My goal is to have a couple more releases out this month, and resume normal releases in mid-January.

Sorry for any disruption, and thx all for your patience

The next day, Emil personally drove Luo Fei to visit several well-known sites in Lyra according to the original plan.

There were endless wheat fields and orchards everywhere along the drive.

After a while, a glass greenhouse shaped like a maple leaf appeared. Emil pointed to the greenhouse and said, “That’s the largest flower and plant cultivation base in the Empire.”

Luo Fei stood up to look at the glass greenhouse in the distance. “I’ve heard of it before, it’s much bigger than I imagined.”

Emil said: “There are many exotic flowers and plants here that the Capital Star doesn’t have. Want to go in and take a look?”

Now that they’re here, of course Luo Fei wants to broaden his horizons, so he nodded. “Let’s go and have a look.”

The two parked the vehicle in the parking lot near the greenhouse, and came to the entrance of the glass greenhouse through the elevator.

Because it was a working day, there weren’t many tourists. Smoothly passing through security, they were soon greeted with a large swath of blooming flowers and the faint fragrance of flowers. Colorful three-color flowers could be seen further inside. The petals in alternating red, yellow, and blue, are particularly gorgeous, just like those Luo Fei saw in Capital Star before. This kind of flower is difficult to cultivate, and the price of each plant exceeds several thousand crystal coins.

Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts: “These flowers are too colorful, I want to go to the green plant area to see.”

Followed by a slightly old voice: “Young Master, do you need us to accompany you?”

“No, you guys wait here, I’ll go by myself.”

—Mo Han?

Luo Fei walked towards the direction of the voice, and sure enough, he saw Mo Han, as well as the housekeeper and several bodyguards who came with him.

He was dressed very casually today, casual shoes, brown trousers, and a thin white sweater on his upper body.

The sweater has a low collar, revealing the delicate collarbone and slender and beautiful neck. There’s a necklace around his neck, which should be a space button for a smart mech, but the obsidian pendant only made his skin whiter. At this moment, he was standing beside a large bush of gorgeous flowers, with his hands in his pockets. His eyes squinted slightly, looking like a lazy and comfortable cat.

– A sight hard to pull one’s eyes away from.

Such a handsome and good-looking alpha is really rare.

He was dressed in simple and casual clothes as he stood beside the blooming flowers. Luo Fei suddenly felt that the scene was beautiful, and he even had the urge to take out the camera and take a picture.

Sensing the scorching gaze from the side, Mo Han turned his head and met Luo Fei’s deep eyes.

He was slightly taken aback, but quickly adjusted his expression, and then greeted: “Senior.”

Luo Fei smiled and said, “What a coincidence, we meet again.”

The First Prince looked into his eyes as he spoke.

His gaze made Mo Han a little uncomfortable, so he simply turned around and said, “Senior, take your time, I’ll go buy some green plants first.”

But Luo Fei quickly followed him, with a smile in his voice: “Let’s go together, I’m here to see them too.”

Mo Han: “…”

Why does he always have the feeling of a gum being glued on, and unable to be removed? Is it an illusion?

***

The housekeeper and bodyguards stayed where they were. Emil wanted to follow Luo Fei, but Luo Fei stopped him with his eyes.

Emil had no choice but to say tactfully: “I’m not interested in green plants, I’ll go to the next door to have a look, see you here later.”

Luo Fei said, “Okay.”

Mo Han laughed in his heart: As an assistant, aren’t you too unprofessional? Instead of following Emil, he sent Emil away?

Seeing Luo Fei following, Mo Han did not expose the First Prince, but wanted to see what he was going to do as he walked forward.

After bypassing several flower greenhouses, the two finally came to the area for cultivating green plants.

The scene suddenly changed.

Instead of bright colors, the room is filled with lush green plants everywhere. There is no floral fragrance in the air, but a fresh herbal fragrance.

Luo Fei couldn’t help taking a deep breath of fresh air, and followed Mo Han for a leisurely stroll in the green area.

Mo Han walked slowly, eyes sweeping over the green plants of various shapes on both sides of the pathway. When he saw something he liked, he directly entered the number in the optical computer to pay. Luo Fei simply followed behind.

Shuttling through the green, the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of each other’s footsteps could be heard, as if the two were walking in the most primitive jungle.

Luo Fei didn’t want to break such a quiet atmosphere.

His mood became extremely calm as he walked with Mo Han in this quiet green environment, calm enough that he could even hear his own heartbeat.

The two walked for a long time, until there was a three-way intersection in front of them. Mo Han took the initiative to turn around and ask, “Why doesn’t senior speak?”

Luo Fei said: “You’re concentrating on picking plants, and I’m afraid that talking too much will upset you.”

Mo Han laughed: “Senior is a sensible person.”

Luo Fei asked: “Buying so many green plants, are you putting them in your room?”

“Yes, these plants can purify the air, increase oxygen concentration, and help improve the quality of my sleep.”

Luo Fei asked, “Did you suffer from insomnia last night?”

Mo Han frowned slightly: “How do you know?”

Luo Fei suddenly moved closer, looked into his eyes carefully, and said, “There are dark circles around your eyes. They’re not too obvious.”

The tips of their noses were almost touching, and he could feel his warm breath and smiling eyes close at hand.

It would be fine if he was really an alpha, but Mo Han is an omega after all. Even if he’s had training and is on inhibitors, the other party’s pheromones will still affect him to a certain extent. Feeling a little discomfort, Mo Han turned around calmly, and said as he walked forward: “I really didn’t sleep well last night, I didn’t fall asleep until after four o’clock in the morning.”

Luo Fei was concerned, “Was it due to your brother?”

Mo Han nodded: “Well, Mo Lin was in a bad mood yesterday. After the effect of the tranquilizer passed, he started crying again.”

Crying? Luo Fei didn’t believe this explanation, but on the surface he still pretended to be worried and said: “Letting Mo Lin continue making trouble like this isn’t a solution. Why don’t I help find some more psychologists for him?”

Mo Han turned his head to look at Luo Fei.

The two kept a friendly distance of about two meters and looked at each other.

The surroundings are extremely quiet, and in each other’s pupils, one could see their own self mirrored, as if time stood still at that moment.

Simply looking at each other is also an invisible tug-of-war. Neither of them took the lead to look away, but looked at each other’s eyes calmly, as if they wanted to see some clues from each other’s eyes.

But in the end, neither of them gained much.

Luo Fei smiled slightly, and took the initiative to break the silence. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean anything. It’s just when I saw Mo Lin crying like that yesterday, and heard about the past, I feel sorry for what happened to him and really hope he gets well soon.”

Mo Han said calmly: “It’s okay, he’s the one who can’t walk out of that psychological shadow by himself. My father asked him to stay at home for his own good. We invited a professional psychologist to accompany him and slowly enlighten him. If he really can’t get better, then the Mo family will raise him for the rest of his life.”

The Mo Han in front of him seems to be just an elder brother who cares about his twin brother – the “lost” and “worried” emotions in his eyes were extraordinarily realistic. If Luo Fei hadn’t deduced that Mo Lin might not be mentally ill, he would have believed everything Mo Han said.

But Luo Fei believed in his deduction more. He always felt that Mo Lin’s matter wasn’t simple, and an omega as smart as Fang Ziqian would not sacrifice his life so easily.

There must be something more to this matter.

It’s a pity that Mo Han seemed to have gotten used to acting. His facial expressions, movements, and words didn’t reveal any obvious signs.

Thinking of this, Luo Fei smiled and changed the subject: “Since we’re friends, can we exchange contact information?”

Mo Han pulled out his communicator, and exchanged contact information with the other party. After finishing all this, he looked at Luo Fei and said, “A lot of people in school have tried to get my contact information before. Senior is very direct and asked me for it in person.”

Luo Fei said frankly: “I don’t like to beat around the bush. As long as it can achieve one’s goal, isn’t it better to be simple and straightforward?”

—Naturally.

—That’s why I ignored your fabricated name, education background, and past events, and simply checked the passenger information from the spaceship purchase records.

—I found out that your name is Luo Fei, and you are the First Prince of the Empire.

Mo Han looked back to see that Luo Fei was still smiling, with an innocent and harmless look, pretending to be an alumni and plant lover.

His acting skills are actually not bad, and he’s serious about acting — it’s a pity that he met someone who has even better acting skills.

Mo Han smiled slightly, thinking to himself how he would get back the number of times he called Luo Fei “senior” in the future.

***

The two finally finished shopping around the green plant area. After managing to pick out and pay for several plants, Mo Han he turned around and started to head back. “I’ve picked my plants out. Senior, you can look slowly. There is a desert area over there with many precious succulents, you should go and see them.”

“I’m not interested in desert plants,” Luo Fei replied. The subtext of his sentence was actually: I followed you only because I’m curious about you.

He didn’t continue exploring, but followed Mo Han and walked out of the greenhouse.

Outside the greenhouse, a row of bodyguards stood neatly.

The eight men were tall and burly, and their attitude towards Mo Han was quite respectful. The old housekeeper should also be Mo Han’s confidant – he was the one who informed Mo Han about his brother’s matter that day.

Luo Fei glanced over the group of followers, looked at Mo Han and asked, “Are you going back now?”

“En.”

“Then see you next time.” Luo Fei said with a smile.

“Goodbye, senior.” Mo Han nodded to him, and calmly left with his men.

It wasn’t until the group left that Emil appeared from the side, leaned into Luo Fei’s ear and whispered, “I heard that Mo Han is rather arrogant and rarely pays attention to others. It seems you guys hit it off quite well?”

Luo Fei: “He is really arrogant. On the spaceship, when I proposed to be friends with him for the first time, he coldly rejected me. But the second time at the banquet, he didn’t refuse, probably because you were there, and he respected you as a senior?”

Emil asked curiously, “What if he still refused the second time?”

Luo Fei shrugged: “Then I’ll ask a third or fourth time – I’ve always been very patient.”

Emil snorted: “What patience? Isn’t it just because you have thick skin?”

Luo Fei nodded: “You can also say that.”

Emil: “…”

Luo Fei actually admitted it? He’s quite self-aware.

The two chatted and laughed while strolling around the base.

Under Emil’s introduction, Luo Fei saw many flowers and trees that he had never seen before.

The strange thing is, no matter how precious flowers and plants he sees, he can’t help but recall Mo Han’s figure in his mind – Mo Han wearing simple slim-fit trousers and a white thin sweater, standing beside the flowers and squinting his eyes. His lazy, comfortable appearance, like the most beautiful movie scene, was etched in Luo Fei’s mind.

The handsome alpha youth full of mystery made Luo Fei’s curiosity peak.

Being so interested in a person is something Luo Fei never experienced in his eighteen years of life.
