Chapter 54 - Goodbye Mo Lin
That night, Luo Fei went back to the palace. It was his first time returning after starting school. It was rare for him to come to Capital Star, so he naturally wanted to go back to the palace to see his parents and siblings.
To Luo Fei’s surprise, Uncle Ling An and Uncle Brian were also present – obviously they came back with his father after watching the game.
His Majesty Xize was too busy to watch the live broadcast. Hearing that Luo Fei only won third place in the Mech Contest, he couldn’t help wondering: “With your strength, shouldn’t you be better than third place?”
Luo Fei smiled and replied: “Everyone makes mistakes. Besides, the opponent I met in the semi-finals know me very well; it’s normal to lose.”
Hearing this, Brian smiled meaningfully, and added, “I think Luo Fei is willing to lose to Mo Han, right?”
Luo Fei coughed lightly: “Mo Han is too familiar with me, I can only blame my carelessness.”
Xize didn’t mind whether his son won the grand prize or not, and patiently exhorted: “You are an adult now, and there is no need to keep your identity secret. In the future, after this competition, people will now recognize you as the First Prince.”
“During this period, you can’t put on airs as a prince and should pay more attention to safety when going out. The S-class mech Chongming given to you by Brian can protect you at any time, but you’d better not let Chongming show up unless you are in real danger, understand?”
Luo Fei immediately nodded obediently: “Understood, Father, I will pay attention.”
Xize patted his son’s shoulder with reassurance, and asked the royal chef to prepare a sumptuous dinner. It was rare for everyone to have a meal together.
After dinner, Brian stayed to check on his father’s1his as in Luo Fei. I assume Brian is checking Ling Yuan’s mechmech, while Luo Fei and Ling An left the palace in a mech.
There were only two people left in the cockpit, so Ling An asked with a smile, “How are you and Mo Han doing?”
Ling An is one of the few people who knows that he likes Mo Han. Luo Fei didn’t want to hide anything from his uncle, so he said directly: “I’m still chasing him. He has a good impression of me now, but not to the extent that he likes me. However, he gave me a gift a few days ago – a miniature version of his in-game avatar.”
Luo Fei took out the model and held it in his palm lovingly.
Ling An couldn’t help smiling when he saw that the palm-sized little man had the exact same face as Mo Han: “He gave you this?”
“Yes,” Luo Fei nodded. “I also gave him a model before, and he probably gave me this as as a gift in return? Since he is willing to return my gift, I think his impression of me should have improved a lot, otherwise he wouldn’t have planned a return gift.”
Ling An: “…”
Silly boy! He gave himself to you!
Luo Fei did not understand the deep meaning contained in this model. The smart and cold Mo Han using such a tactful way to express his feelings… these two guys are really interesting.
Since Mo Han himself didn’t say anything, Ling An naturally wouldn’t intervene and let Luo Fei slowly understand by himself.
Seeing the cute mini version of Mo Han in Luo Fei’s hands, Ling An smiled slightly and said, “Work hard, he will be melted by your enthusiasm.”
“Of course.” Luo Fei nodded firmly.
Ling An smiled, and changed the subject again: “In today’s game, when you and Mo Han were facing off in the last moment, your reaction time was 0.5 seconds slower, otherwise he wouldn’t have the chance to evade and counterattack. I don’t know if he noticed your intention to let him take the prize?”
Luo Fei chuckled lightly and touched his nose. “Uncle is really sharp-eyed. I racked my brains for this 0.5-second delay, so he wouldn’t notice and I can quietly let him get a mech made by Uncle Brian. If I won the prize myself and gave it to him, he would definitely refuse, and it’s useless for me to win it.”
Ling An sighed softly. “You really dote on him, losing so realistically.”
Luo Fei raised the corners of his lips and said, “I like him, shouldn’t I dote on him?”
Luo Fei’s life concepts were completely taught by His Majesty Xize, but he still reminded: “You can spoil him, but only in moderation. It doesn’t matter if you lose to him in this kind of entertainment competition, but I have to remind you – you can’t give in when you encounter a matter of principle. You like Mo Han and want to treat him well, but don’t forget that you are still the First Prince and must stand firm on some things. You will inherit the throne in the future, and your ideas cannot be so easily swayed by Mo Han.”
Luo Fei nodded, and said seriously: “I understand.”
Relieved, Ling An smiled and patted Luo Fei on the shoulder. “I’m going to the border soon, and won’t be back until June. I hope you and Mo Han can make some progress by then.”
***
After Luo Fei returned to the hotel, he put the model Mo Han sent on the table, poked his head lightly with his finger, and said, “Little Mo Han, tell me are you an alpha or an omega?”
The model’s voice is based on the data recorded by Mo Han, and it is programmed to have simple conversations with people.
It will answer ordinary questions, but for this question, Little Mo Han tilted his head and thought for a while, before responding, “I don’t know what you are asking.”
Luo Fei resisted poking its face and said, “Then tell me, do you like me?”
Little Mo Han said: “This question is also difficult to answer.”
Luo Fei couldn’t help laughing out loud: “Then what questions can you answer?”
Little Mo Han said: “Questions that have already been entered in the database.”
This answer is really straightforward. Luo Fei asked again, “What color do you like? What kind of food do you like to eat? Are these valid?”
Little Mo Han nodded seriously: “I like blue, and I like to eat steak.”
Luo Fei: “…”
The little model that Mo Han gave him was too cute. Luo Fei held the palm-sized little figure in his hand, and gently pressed it to his lips for a kiss. Chongming was about to collapse seeing this scene, and spoke up: “Master, you are so naive!”
Luo Fei shrugged: “I can’t kiss the real person, so let me express my feelings here first.”
He put the model away carefully, and then he became serious, and ordered Chongming: “Help me look up Fang Ziqian.”
Chongming connected to the Internet and began to search. There was no other information about Fang Ziqian except a report on his funeral after the kidnapping case, and the only photo was a black and white portrait on his tombstone.
In the photo, Fang Ziqian looked handsome and indifferent, with three points of similarity to Mo Han. According to his uncle, this person should still be alive and might be hiding in the dark. He probably got the pheromone camouflage formula developed by the Central Hospital back then, which is how Mo Han can freely switch between his identity as an alpha and omega.
Looking at Mo Han’s father in the photo, Luo Fei felt a little complicated.
Chongming couldn’t help suggesting: “Master, if you want to determine whether Mo Han is an alpha or an omega, there is a very simple method – bite the back of his neck and see if you can mark him!”
Luo Fei immediately frowned. “Don’t think of such bad ideas! If he is an omega, forcibly marking him would be an insult and injury to him. If I do this, he will definitely hate it, and even hate me. Besides, I like and want to cherish him, how could I do something to hurt him?”
Chongming complained: “It’s just a suggestion. If he’s not an omega, when you bite it down, he won’t respond at all.”
Luo Fei chuckled. “As a mech, why are you thinking about thse messy things?”
“Aren’t I trying to think for you!” Chongming was aggrieved. “If you want to confirm his identity, then taking a bite is the easiest…”
Luo Fei really wanted to confirm the truth, but he would not resort to such violent means.
Besides, Luo Fei doesn’t mind whether Mo Han is an alpha or omega; what he wants to know is the reason behind why Mo Han has two identities.
***
The next morning, Luo Fei knocked on Mo Han’s hotel room door to have breakfast with Mo Han, and Mo Han asked him to wait for a change of clothes.
While sitting on the sofa waiting, Luo Fei heard Mo Han’s communicator turn on, and the smart mech Noah took the initiative to speak: “Master, Mo Lin sent a communication request.”
Mo Han’s voice came from the bathroom: “Wait a minute, I’ll come out to pick it up.”
Luo Fei pretended to be calm, but his mind was full of thoughts — he had just deduced that Mo Han and Mo Lin were the same person, and Mo Lin sent a communication request? How will Mo Han talk to Mo Lin?
The next moment, the call was connected. In the hologram was Mo Lin sitting in a wheelchair in pajamas, disheveled hair, red eye sockets, and a sickly pale face. The background was the Mo family villa. It was completely at odds with Mo Han’s elegant temperament.
When Mo Han saw him, his gaze softened immediately, and he said, “Linlin, what did you call me about?”
Mo Lin’s voice came through the holographic screen: “I watched the Mech Contest. You won the runner-up, congratulations.”
Mo Han smiled and said, “Thank you. How are you at home recently?”
Mo Lin said coldly: “Anyway, I can’t die. Father hired a group of doctors to monitor me every day.”
Mo Han said: “They’re not there for surveillance. We just let the doctors follow you because we are worried about you. Don’t think too much, just rest at home. I will go home to see you after I finish my thesis defense.”
Mo Lin said lightly, “Understood.”
The call was cut off, and Luo Fei looked at the holographic display vanish with complicated emotions.
How does Mo Han fake this kind of mental illness so calmly?
Talking to oneself like this?
Although Mo Lin and Mo Han had a brief conversation, Luo Fei didn’t think they were two people because they still did not appear in the same place at the same time, but through ‘video conversation’.
Before, he might take it at face value, thinking that Mo Lin called to congratulate his brother on being the runner-up.
But now, knowing that the person he likes is a powerful hacker, Luo Fei is no longer so easily fooled by appearances.
Mo Han is a computer genius with access to the most advanced data processing technology. In this high-tech era, some movies will use virtual technology to place actors in special environments, such as simulating the scene of Mo’s villa. Such things should be easy for Mo Han.
Make the video ahead of time, and then time the conversation to start when Luo Fei visits.
Mo Lin’s words should be recorded, and once Mo Han responds according to the script, it will create an illusion that they are talking in real time.
Luo Fei smiled lightly and touched his nose, thinking: Mo Han, you really can act.
Not only is his screenwriting top-notch, his acting skills are second to none compared to the actors in the entertainment industry, and he also uses black technology to help with post-processing video editing.
He can even make a TV series himself!
Originally, Luo Fei doubted the twins were the same person, but Mo Han’s behavior was self-defeating. Luo Fei just casually asked about Mo Lin yesterday, and Mo Lin, who hadn’t shown up for so long, just happened to send a video call when he came to find Mo Han this morning. Obviously, Mo Han wanted Luo Fei to think of them as brothers after the ‘face-to-face conversation’ – instead, it only made Luo Fei more certain that they were the same person.
However, he remained calm on the surface, pretending not to know.
Watching Mo Han act like this is quite interesting.
He had a bad impression of Mo Lin before. Luo Fei has a headache just thinking about that omega who loves to cry and is extremely sensitive. But now, knowing that Mo Han is pretending to be Mo Lin, he suddenly felt that Mo Lin, who was crying with red eyes, seems… quite cute?
***
Mo Han, who had no idea that his vest was lost, was still proud of his witty video call setup.
Seeing Luo Fei’s calm look, he was even more sure that Luo Fei believed his conversation. He pretended to sigh helplessly, and said, “It’s rare for my brother to be able to talk to me normally. I heard from my father that his mental state has improved a lot recently. He takes medicine on time every day and is seeing a psychiatrist, which has helped a lot.”
Luo Fei was amused and thought to himself, “Keep pretending. Instead of a hacker, you can also consider becoming a screenwriter.”
But on the surface, Luo Fei maintained a gentle smile. He stood up, walked in front of Mo Han and looked into his eyes to comfort him. “Don’t worry too much. I think Mo Lin is just a little stimulated and sensitive. If you show more concern and tolerance to him, he will definitely get better.”
“En, I hope so.” Mo Han nodded.
Luo Fei’s smile was too gentle. Mo Han felt a little guilty seeing the hint of “love” in his eyes, so he immediately looked away calmly, coughed lightly, and said: “Let’s go and have breakfast first.”
When the two arrived the restaurant, Iman, Ludwig, Xiao Weiming, and Bolt were all there. Xiao Weiming and Bolt were the top three in the last competition, but they failed to win the prize this year. Both seniors were very gracious and took the initiative to congratulate the two juniors, Mo Han and Luo Fei.
After everyone gathered together for breakfast, they boarded the vehicles to leave.
Luo Fei called Mo Han aside, and asked in a low voice, “The Mech Contest is over. Will you still come over this weekend?”
Mo Han has been coming over every weekend to learn mech operations from him, but with the competition over, there’s no reason for him to go.
Just as he was thinking about it, Luo Fei said softly: “You just got the combat mech built by Mr. Brian himself. This mech is different from the mechs used in the competition, and you need to get familiar with it. For the competition and to avoid casualties, the weapons are all virtual. But this one is different, all the weapons are real. Improper operation may cause damage, so I suggest coming over so I can teach you actual combat. Can you spare time this weekend?”
Mo Han wanted to see him as well, so when he heard this reason, he agreed casually. “Okay, then I will come to see you again on the weekend.”
