Chapter 1221: French Dress

“I don’t need your concern.” Xia Yingluo’s tone was a little cold. The feeling of always being spied on felt awful.

Wei Lingnan did not want to argue with her and changed the topic. “Do you know? The wine used is from my hometown.”

Xia Yingluo was slightly startled. She looked down at the glass in her hand. The liquid gently rippled in the glass like a dream. Hometown? It was such a distant term, so distant that she felt a chill.

It was so strange. Why was there a sour feeling in her heart?

Her hometown was a beautiful island where the Li Family’s overseas headquarters was at. Her family was one of the strongest forces in the world. She was proud of her heritage, but she was not homesick. The feeling in her heart seemed to tell her that there was another place that she had left for a long time. She left it such a long time that she could not even remember it, but she still missed her... hometown.

Wei Lingnan’s low voice was heard. “It is very beautiful. Although it is barren, it is the birthplace of the most powerful race in the world. It is an endless wasteland with deep cracks in the purple ground. Occasionally, small flowers would grow on the cliff. White Skatana flowers. Soldiers used them to make wine and heal wounds.”

Xia Yingluo was a little enchanted by what he said. “Does a place like this really exists?”

Wei Lingnan lifted his cocktail glass and clinked it with hers. “The planet Skatana can fly. It does not follow a fixed trajectory like Earth and the other planets. The movement of planet Skatana is unpredictable and fascinating. Even the people that live on it do not know which direction it will head next, and the only one who knows its secret is the Queen.”

“Queen?” Xia Yingluo asked.

“The Queen can intuitively predict the will of the planet and is the noblest existence on the entire planet.” Wei Lingnan said, “All the people on Skatana live and die for the Queen.” As he spoke, his lips curled into a strange smile. “Only I am different. I was born because of Ah Luo.”

Xia Yingluo drank too much wine and her head was a little dizzy.

She wanted to tell him that aliens did not exist. Skatana and the Queen of Skatana did not exist. Instead, she said, “This story is so interesting. Why don’t you make a script and tell me more about your planet and the Queen?”

However, he stopped talking.

She was drunk and her mind started to slow down. Finally, she could not control her movements anymore. She laid down softly on the silver-gray bar. When she closed her eyelids, a soft sigh rang in her ear. “She’s really beautiful.”

Xia Yingluo had a long dream.

In her dream, she arrived at a purple planet that was a wasteland. There were half-human half-monster soldiers and small white flowers sporadically blooming in the orange-violet flames. She saw a figure of a little girl who vanished in a flash. For some reason, she could not help but look for it. Suddenly, a thick fog struck and the flowers scattered.

When she awoke, it was morning.

She had a hangover and a splitting headache.

There was a man sleeping on the other side of the bed with his arms wrapped firmly around her waist.

She struggled for a bit but could not break free, so she became a little annoyed. “Wei Lingnan, get up!” Why was he sleeping beside her? Fortunately, both of them were fully clothed and nothing bad happened.

Slowly, Wei Lingnan opened his eyes to look at her. “Did you sleep well last night?”

She was furious. “Who allowed you to sleep beside me?!”

However, he acted like he did not hear her. “Did you have a dream?”

Xia Yingluo glared at him. “None of your business.” She angrily pushed his arms away, jumped out of bed and changed.

Wei Lingnan laid on his side and watched as she left for a long time.

Xia Yingluo went back to the training camp and told herself to forget the story and dream she had last night. Wei Lingnan was strange and crazy. He was probably drunk and came up with a random story. A planet that could fly? A Queen? Did he think this was Aliens vs Avatar?

She went to class and practiced as usual.

At noon, an ecstatic Jin Ling’er rushed back. “Yingluo! Yingluo! Did you miss me during these few days?” As she spoke, she gave her a big hug.

Xia Yingluo also hugged her and smiled. “Are you done filming?”

She pushed all the strange things that happened last night to the back of her mind.

Jin Ling’er said, “The entire film is not finished, but my part is done. The director also praised me for doing a good job! I’m so happy I could die. Hahaha, Sister Qi also likes me very much and said that we could collaborate again next time if there’s a chance! Wow. Sister Qi is such a famous celebrity and she actually said that she wanted to continue working with me. It’s just like a dream!” She bounced around in glee. As a little-known trainee, gaining the favor of a famous celebrity was a very exciting thing.

Xia Yingluo was also happy for her. “It’s really worth celebrating.”

Jin Ling’er pulled her. “Let’s go shopping and celebrate together!”

The way females celebrated good news was usually very simple. They either went out for a meal or did some shopping. Xia Yingluo did not protest and was pulled out of the training camp into one of the busiest shopping malls in the city.

The two girls picked out a few clothes at an ordinary specialty store. Jin Ling’er pulled Xia Yingluo. “Yingluo, shall we go upstairs? I have never been to those high-end specialty stores before. I saw Sister Qi wearing a watch that looks very good, and I heard that she bought it on the seventh floor of this mall.”

Xia Yingluo did not mind. She waved the card that Wei Lingnan gave her and said, “If you see anything you like, I’ll buy it for you.”

“Really? Wow! Yingluo you really are the best!” Jin Ling’er hugged her and gave her a kiss.

Xia Yingluo viciously smiled. “Just swipe as you like!” In fact, she did not mind if she swiped the card to buy the entire mall until Wei Lingnan turned poor. How dare he sleep on the same bed as her when she was drunk?!

Jin Ling’er did not hesitate and dragged her into many high-end stores.

When she walked into the boutique, Jin Ling’er’s eyes brightened. “Yingluo, quickly come over! This dress really suits you!” As she spoke, she pointed at a pearl-white silk dress. The color and the style were very specific, and it seemed that only someone with white skin and an S shape body would be able to wear it.

The shop assistant smiled and greeted them. “Both of you have good taste. This is part of the new collection of this season and was designed by a famous French designer.”

Jin Ling’er encouraged Xia Yingluo. “Yingluo, how about you try it on? You’re so beautiful, I’m sure that you will look good wearing it. Don’t always wear discounted items from the small shop at the school entrance. I feel bad seeing you wear them.”

Xia Yingluo also felt that this dress was quite stylish. Just as she was about to agree to try it on, she heard the familiar sounds of two girls laughing behind her. Enemies were really bound to meet on a narrow path. Turning around, she actually saw Pei Yan and Gu Jinxiu walking in. They looked really close to each other. Could it be that they were friends?
