Luan Qing Xiao thought about it for a while and answered, "It should be eleven years ago."

    The tension in Huo Wu Mu's heart relaxed. She created it eleven years ago and ten years ago, this scent was on her body. This matched up, it had to be her.

    Huo Wu Mu asked: "Which planet are you from? I mean, on which planet did you live ten years ago?"

    Luan Qing Xiao said, "Ten years ago, I lived on Planet S and later moved to Planet A because of my father's job transfer… …"

    After Luan Qing Xiao finished speaking, she looked at Huo Wu Mu hesitantly, hesitant to speak more.

    Since what Luan Qing Xiao said matched the information Huo Wu Mu knew, Huo Wu Mu had already determined Luan Qing Xiao was the white moonlight he was searching for.

    His gaze towards Luan Qing Xiao's gaze became softer and gentler, "You can tell me anything you want, I’ll try to help you as much as possible."

    Luan Qing Xiao’s eyes showed surprise, which made her outstanding facial features even more eye-catching, "Really, Mr. Huo?"

    "Of course." Huo Wu Mu didn't want to take the liberty of acknowledging Luan Qing Xiao. If he could help Luan Qing Xiao and gain Luan Qing Xiao's favorability, then once they became acquaintances, it would help him further the relationship between the two.

    Luan Qing Xiao stated, "I do have something to ask for your help."

    "My parents passed away not long ago. When I returned to Planet S with my parents' ashes, I ran into interstellar pirates, who took all my money. Originally, I intended to take my parents' ashes back to Planet S and then head to Planet X to live with my cousins. I know your spaceship route does not pass through Planet S, so I decided to change my plan and go directly to Planet X to join my cousin, but… …"

    "But what?" Huo Wu Mu asked softly.

    "But my paper disc fell on the pirate ship, and without the paper disc, I can’t enter Planet X. As the owner of Planet X, can you help me?"

    Luan Qing Xiao is that weak and helpless. At this moment, even if she wanted Huo Wu Mu to give her Planet X, Huo Wu Mu wouldn’t have hesitated, let alone the small matter of just bringing her to Planet X.

    There is another reason: Planet X was the home base of the Huo family, so most of Huo Wu Mu's work was done on Planet X.

    If Luan Qing Xiao settles down on Planet X, it will be quite beneficial for Huo Wu Mu to pursue her.

    A day later, Huo Wu Mu's spacecraft landed on Planet X. Luan Qing Xiao wore a snow-colored veil dress and stood in front of the spacecraft, saying goodbye to Huo Wu Mu.

    "There is an emergency on Planet N that I need to deal with, otherwise I would have personally sent you to your cousins." Huo Wu Mu stated, regretfully.

    "Letting you go alone to find your relatives, I really don't feel at ease." Huo Wu Mu turned his head, "Qiao Cen, you follow Miss Luan until I return from Planet N."

    Luan Qing Xiao blinked and said with some anxiety, "Having Captain Qiao following me is a little overqualified, Mr. Huo. I should be fine alone. Compared to me, you need Captain Qiao more."

    Huo Wu Mu glazed at Luan Qing Xiao with a doting smile, "I have an armed force following me, don't worry."

    Seeing Huo Wu Mu's smile, Luan Qing Xiao felt cold in her heart and almost broke character.

    She turned her head and pretended to be embarrassed, her cheeks flushed slightly, "I look forward to seeing you again."

    Huo Wu Mu: "I am also looking forward to it."

    Huo Wu Mu patted Qiao Cen on the shoulder, "I’m handing over Miss Luan to you."

    "Mr. Huo, please rest assured, I will treat Miss Luan like you in protecting her."

    Huo Wu Mu took one last nostalgic look at Luan Qing Xiao before finally entering the spaceship.

    Luan Qing Xiao and Qiao Cen watched Huo Wu Mu's spacecraft leave Planet X’s wharf together.

    When Qiao Cen turned his head, wanting to talk to Luan Qing Xiao, he only found that Luan Qing Xiao was still infatuatedly staring in the direction where Huo Wu Mu’s spacecraft was leaving.

    Qiao Cen's heart stopped for a second as the joy of being sent by Huo Wu Mu to Luan Qing Xiao's side suddenly dropped to the lowest point.

    What was he happy about? How could Luan Qing Xiao choose him over such an outstanding man like Huo Wu Mu?

    When Luan Qing Xiao retracted her gaze to look at Qiao Cen, there was already no hint of a smile on Qiao Cen's face.

    "Captain Qiao, I’ll be troubling you." Luan Qing Xiao said softly.

    Qiao Cen's heart immediately defiantly burst into chaos.

    "No-no, don’t be polite with me." Just listening to Luan Qing Xiao's voice made Qiao Cen’s palms hot and quickly wet with sweat.

    He had completely forgotten how disappointed he was just now and how he planned to treat Luan Qing Xiao monotonically before Huo Wu Mu returned.

    Naturally, Luan Qing Xiao didn't have a cousin on Planet X, but Falcon was here. She has contacted Falcon in advance and had Falcon hack into the resident information database of Planet X to fabricate an identity and buy a second-hand house.

    At the time, she only made this decision just in case. She didn't expect Huo Wu Mu to really send someone to follow her. If she didn't let the Falcon prepare in advance, Qiao Cen might have discovered something.

    Luan Qing Xiao led Qiao Cen to the address sent to her by Falcon, 23 Hong Fang Street, which was a beautiful red and white garden house.

    When Luan Qing Xiao and Qiao Cen came in front of the black iron gate, she rang the doorbell. In just a while, a short and thin man exited from inside.

    "It's Cousin Mu Yun!" Luan Qing Xiao exclaimed to Qiao Cen happily.

    Falcon, using the name Yu Mu Yun, walked to the iron gate. Seeing Luan Qing Xiao, he quickly opened the door, "Qing Xiao, come right in!"

    As Luan Qing Xiao walked in, Yu Mu Yun's gaze fell on the Qiao Cen behind her, "Qing Xiao, who is this gentleman?"

    "Qiao Cen, I was ordered to follow Miss Luan." Qiao Cen stretched out his right hand to Yu Mu Yun.

    "Yu Mu Yun, Qing Xiao's cousin." Yu Mu Yun stretched out his hand and gently shook Qiao Cen’s.

    "Ordered? Who gave Mr. Qiao the order?" Yu Mu Yun was very wary of the man who was inexplicably following her beautiful cousin.

    Before Qiao Cen could speak, Luan Qing Xiao pulled Yu Mu Yun's sleeves, "Cousin, it's a long story. Let's head in and talk about it, okay?"

    "... … I'll wait for your explanation." Yu Mu Yun glanced at Qiao Cen with warning, making Qiao Cen spread out his hands helplessly and respond with a harmless smile.

    Once the three of them entered the house and sat down, Luan Qing Xiao told Yu Mu Yun what had happened in the past few days, "Fortunately because of Mr. Huo, I was able to come safely to Planet X to find you."

    "I heard Mr. Huo is famous for keeping his distance from women. Why does he treat only you differently?" When Yu Mu Yun asked this, he looked at Qiao Cen.

    Qiao Cen: "... …" Don't ask him, he also wants to know the reason.

    Luan Qing Xiao grabbed Yu Mu Yun's hand and shook it, "Cousin, that's because Mr. Huo is a good person. Qiao Cen will also live here for a few days, can you arrange a room for him as well?"

    Luan Qing Xiao said, changing the subject.

    "... …You guys come with me." Yu Mu Yun stood up from the sofa.

    Qiao Cen couldn't help but let out a sigh.

    How could Huo Wu Mu be kind? Clearly, the kind and innocent one was the Luan Qing Xiao in front of him.

    After arranging their rooms, Qiao Cen stayed in the room and did not head out. With them relatives meeting, he had to leave room for the two to speak alone. It’s not like he can sit beside them the entire time, disturbing them.

    Once Luan Qing Xiao and Yu Mu Yun returned to the living room, Yu Mu Yun reported, "There’s no monitoring equipment, he can’t hear our conversation."

    Luan Qing Xiao nodded, "How is Nie Zhen'er?"

    "Today is Saturday, Nie Zhen’er is at home on her day off. The previous few days were normal and no suspicious person was found."

    "In order to protect Nie Zhen'er, the house I bought is right next to Nie Zhen'er's house."

    Luan Qing Xiao couldn't help but pat Yu Mu Yun on the shoulder, acknowledging his work, "Beautiful job done."

    Living so close to Nie Zhen'er, was she still afraid she won't have a chance to get to know each other?

    Luan Qing Xiao learned from Yu Mu Yun that Nie Zhen'er's parents passed away unexpectedly the year before the last. She has lived alone for two years and lived an extremely routine life.

    Every morning at six in the morning, Nie Zhen'er would go to the nearby park for an hour of morning run and then come back to make and eat breakfast. After breakfast, she would take a shower before changing clothes to go off to work.

    If it is Saturday or Sunday, after breakfast, Nie Zhen’er would go to the supermarket to buy groceries. Today, where online shopping couldn’t be more convenient, almost no one chooses to go to the supermarket to buy things in person.

    At noon, Nie Zhen'er would cook a delicious big meal to enjoy alone. After lunch, she would go to the park to stroll for half an hour and then head home to take a half-hour nap.

    Once she woke up, Nie Zhen’er would usually sit on the soft carpet on the balcony to read a book or watch a video.

    She skips dinners and goes to bed early at night. Around seven thirty, she would already be asleep.

    Luan Qing Xiao noted the information about Nie Zhen'er in her mind. The next morning at five thirty, she was awakened by the alarm. She freshened up in a daze and changed into sportswear before going to the nearby park for a morning run.

    The summer morning was quite cool, so on the walk to the park, Luan Qing Qiao had completely woken up.

    She raised her hand and glanced at her optical brain, it was three minutes till six o'clock.

    While Luan Qing Xiao waited for Nie Zhen'er, she did some stretching exercises.

    At six o'clock, Luan Qing Xiao's optical brain rang and she soon heard faint footsteps.

    She turned around nervously. Facing the gate of the park, she waited for the girl, who she thought about day and night.

    Finally, a petite figure entered the park.

    She was wearing pure white sportswear. When she came in and saw Luan Qing Xiao, her peaceful almond eyes wavered slightly.

    However, she didn't talk to Luan Qing Xiao. Instead, she walked straight past Luan Qing Xiao and started jogging.

    Luan Qing Xiao smoothly turned and chased after her. In just a few steps, she caught up with Nie Zhen'er.

    "Hey, don't you stretch before running? Be careful of leg cramps." Luan Qing Xiao said as he ran.

    Nie Zhen'er glanced at Luan Qing Xiao. Only after she made sure she was talking to her did she answer, "I did my stretches at home."

    Luan Qing Xiao smiled, “How about we get to know each other? My name is Luan Qing Xiao. Do you come for a morning run every day? Let’s do it together?"
