Soft and very comfortable.
Although he already knew that these were specially made headphones, Luo Fan still wanted to treat them as real catgirls.
Pascal did not resist, letting Lovan knead his cat ears and hair.
"What are your plans for today?"
Luo Fan asked the person in his arms, "The rebellious squad is unusually not waking up early today. I might as well take this opportunity to chat with Pascal."
"Ha~~ Shall we go out for a stroll, just to show me around this world?"
“…That’s fine.”
It's still early, taking this lazy girl out for a stroll will be good for her health.
It is 7:54 a.m., and the two of them are getting up to wash and change.
Pascal was a latecomer, so he had to find clothes that fit him in the cardboard box.
"It's October now, the weather is a bit cool, so dress a little warmer."
"it is good."
After giving Pascal his instructions, Lovan went back to his room to change.
After Lovan entered the room, Pascal couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest.
Am I blushing?
How long has it been since I did this?
Pascal doesn't consider himself a person with great taste in clothing, but today he wants to really study this aspect.
What kind of person would he like?
Like a young girl in love, Pascal was holding a pile of clothes but didn't know where to start.
"This... is too small."
"This... seems too big."
No matter how carefully he selected, Pascal still couldn't find a suitable style.
"well---"
As expected, this kind of thing is too difficult for a hard-working otaku researcher.
Pascal didn't move an inch until Lofan came out of the room. Lofan laughed helplessly and went back into the room.
A short while later, Pascal felt a tap on his shoulder.
A set of clothes was handed to him.
"Wear this outfit; I borrowed it from them for you."
Luo Fan felt somewhat awkward when he said those words.
After all, he had borrowed the clothes from RPK16. Thinking of the disdainful look on RPK16's face when she handed him the clothes after he had just woken up, Luo Fan felt a little embarrassed.
Regardless, let's take good care of Pascal first.
This is what Luo Fan is thinking now.
Pascal, however, stared blankly at Lovan.
Then, with a faint smile, he said, "Okay, thank you for your trouble," and took the clothes into the room.
At least, I don't have to worry about things like having good taste.
Now, Luo Fan lay listlessly on the sofa, letting the hem of his coat sweep across the floor.
Would Pascal even be able to put on his clothes properly?
What if I get my head stuck?
All sorts of nonsensical questions popped into Luo Fan's mind.
I couldn't help but look forward to seeing what Pascal would be like after he came out.
Seven minutes later...
Pascal hasn't come out yet.
Luo Fan couldn't help but walk to the door and ask in a low voice, "Pascal, is it ready yet?"
"get ready."
Ready? Luo Fan's intuition told him that it was generally unreliable for a woman to say she was ready before going out.
But I can't just rush in and help the other person put it on, can I?
That's outrageous.
Forget it.
Luo Fan shrugged and lay back down on the sofa.
......
Five more minutes passed...
Luo Fan couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up from the sofa and prepared to knock on the door again.
"Pascal, if you don't get it changed soon, I'm going in to change it for you."
Luo Fan shouted as he walked.
Just as Luo Fan placed his hand on the door, the door opened with a click.
Luo Fan was slightly taken aback. Pascal had not only changed his clothes, but had also straightened his hair a little.
She seemed to have applied light makeup, so light that it only slightly covered her dark circles.
At this moment, Pascal was wearing a gray cashmere coat and a long skirt, perfectly showcasing her intellectual beauty as a mature and knowledgeable woman. Her faint smile seemed to suggest that she could calmly deal with any predicament no matter what environment she was in. Compared to her unkempt appearance in the past, Pascal now looked more like a perfect lady with many years of urban life experience.
To be honest, Lovan had never seen Pascal dressed like this before, so much so that he was surprised at first glance.
Luo Fan also wants to ask you where you hid Pascal.
"What, Commander, is it inappropriate?" Pascal's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
“What? No, it suits you perfectly.” Luo Fan cleared his throat and gave his assessment.
He wasn't lying; Lovan genuinely approved of the effect the outfit had on Pascal.
It seems my judgment is quite good.
"Then... let's go?"
"Let's go."
After confirming that he had his phone and keys, Luo Fan left the dimly lit living room with Pascal.
Everything returned to silence.
25. A World for Two
P.S.: I recommend playing "Wait There" by Yiruma for a better reading experience (remember to loop it).
When the two walked out onto the street, it was already 8:26.
The gentle breeze of mid-October swept across the bustling streets, wiping away the worries from the faces of every passerby.
Today is not the weekend; we are currently in the peak commuting period.
The two walked side by side down the street, standing out from the other pedestrians dressed in suits.
Although Pascal had been to the Green Zone before, the bustling city before her still fascinated her.
There are no autonomous dolls here, not many guards on the streets, and nothing related to war.
"Commander, tell me, is this what our world used to look like?"
A hint of melancholy flickered in his eyes, as if awakening some long-forgotten memories in Pascal.
"In a sense, yes, but not entirely."
Lovan's ambiguous words puzzled Pascal.
Because Luo Fan didn't know if this was the world he understood.
Like Pascal, I am a stranger here.
and......
"If this is heaven, then it will become hell in a while."
This is what will happen in the future; the prosperity of this city will no longer exist.
Pascal didn't quite understand Lovan's words: "How so?"
Luo Fan patiently explained again: "It can be roughly understood as Elid is about to have another outbreak. Don't ask me how I know, that's just the truth."
I can't explain why I know this myself. I can't exactly say that future news told me, can I?
Pascal didn't ask any more questions, but simply lowered his head and thought carefully.
While Pascal was thinking, Lovan secretly glanced at Pascal.
Today, Pascal didn't wear those cat-ear headphones. Instead, he straightened his hair slightly, giving Lofan the impression of being like the pink-haired Lady Grey.
However, Gray almost lost his life back then.
But this is exactly what Luo Fan likes—this elegant, intellectual, and unhurried feeling.
For some reason, Pascal suddenly seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
But I bet he'll go back to being a couch potato when he gets back, so I might as well take a few more glances now.
Seemingly noticing the slightly aggressive gaze around him, Pascal stopped thinking, looked up at Lovan, who was also looking at him.
It felt like I was back to last night.
"What, didn't you get enough last night?"
Pascal smiled and met Lovan's gaze directly.
"On the contrary, unlike last night, you look good now."
If last night was a demon that led people astray, now it is a close friend who stands shoulder to shoulder with them.
But Pascal jokingly replied, "That will likely disappoint you. It's probably going to be a long time before there's another chance, since it would be quite troublesome for me."
"It's okay, just once is enough. I'm easily satisfied."
Lovan's answer slightly surprised Pascal.
"A rational person like you is extremely rare these days."
Luo Fan smiled, his eyes almost overflowing with a sense of contentment and happiness.
"With you all by my side, I have never felt any dissatisfaction. I feel so lucky to be able to see you like this."
"So, just once is enough. Thank you, thank you for being willing to put up with me and step into this murky world."
Pascal opened his mouth slightly, but found that he couldn't say anything.
Finally, all he could do to ease his embarrassment was, "Alright, let's go get something to eat."
I'm not young anymore, but I still feel embarrassed by these kinds of comments.
Perhaps I haven't listened enough before...
Lovan simply smiled and offered no comment on Pascal's reaction.
"Any recommendations?"
Pascal awkwardly turned his face away, unable to look Lofan in the eye.
"Just follow me and you'll find out."
Lofan quickened his pace slightly, and Pascal followed closely behind.
One person was in front, and the other was behind, like a young couple who were inexperienced and not very straightforward.
It's just that the two parties involved don't see it that way.
