Chapter 3: National Man (3)

" Princess Olivia has been confirmed missing for twenty-one hours and there are still no clues as to her whereabouts, the last sighting we traced was at this cafe on Thorpe Street, but subsequent footage can see that she did not come out of this cafe again."

"According to Miss Adeline who went with the princess at that time this was originally just a prank by the princess, because of the recent intense conflict with his majesty ...... cough, general you also know, so the princess chose to go out to rebel, so this cafe did a crossdressing in the hope of avoiding the guards that were following her, however, there was no thought was that an hour later, the princess really lost contact with the outside world completely."

Shuo Yan listened to the retelling and nodded in silence, his left index finger tapped twice on the table, it wasn't really his duty to do so, but at least Olivia was still his fiancée in name now, not to mention Olivia's status was honored, and her disappearance had a significant impact on the empire.

The young subordinate was obviously very indignant about this.

"Really don't know that Bai Xiao face gave Princess Olivia what kind of bewitching soup, in terms of family lineage and birth, our generals are not at all comparable to that Bai Xiao face, this is simply ......"

Shuo Yan swept him a glance, the young subordinate knew that he had lost his words and respectfully retreated, yet he did not forget to give Lord General an encouraging look before leaving.

"Don't be sad, my lord, we will always stand behind you!"

Shuo Yan: "......"

Princess Olivia's obsession with Zhifan Shen is so well publicized that it's embarrassing the royal family and making the world think he should be sad as a fiancé right now.

Unfortunately not, perhaps the opposite is true.

Shuo Yan The corner of his mouth hooked as he took a sip of the warm coffee in his hand.

Olivia has good taste and this is indeed a very flavorful and authentic store.

The matter would soon involve Zhifan Shen, who was, after all, the source of the Princess's fuss.

That beautiful young man who lived next door to his house, who had always possessed a pair of melancholic and charming eyes, as well as a pair of hands with extremely gorgeous mecha operation, was the rookie who had the best momentum in the mecha league, and had already claimed the number one popularity spot after just over a year of debut.

But this is after all only mecha league, the level of these players and the real front line soldiers still have a certain gap, they are more inclined to operate gorgeous just, and the real battlefield every second is a duel between life and death.

Mech operation is closely related to talent, some people are born with a natural talent for mechs, while others can't get into it until they are 17 or 18 years old. Talent is hard to see at a young age, so it's hard to carry out specialized mech classes, but the military sometimes selects the best in the mech league to enlist in the army, which has a very high standard of treatment, and will be blessed by the empire.

This makes the mech league somewhat similar to a school where the military selects seeds.

So in a way, Zhifan Shen is just a mecha league star now, but he has a bright future ahead of him.

Thinking about it this way, having both a handsome and outstanding appearance and a promising future, it was easy to imagine his high popularity, and it wasn't surprising that he even gained the favor of the princess.

But Shuo Yan doesn't see it that way; Olivia is a very typical princess, and in modern times, where things are generally peaceful, the responsibilities of a royal princess like Olivia are just for show.

Olivia fits the mascot persona of being both beautiful and arrogant, but from what Shuo Yan has learned about her, Olivia is also smart in a way that doesn't quite match her beauty.

But Olivia's intelligence doesn't show on the surface, and Zhifan Shen does have the charm to make a young girl swoon, but Olivia is no ordinary young girl, and Shuo Yan doesn't believe that Olivia would really throw away her brain for such a handsome young man.

Linking it to this loss of connection, he always felt that there must be some hidden secret that the onlookers did not know.

What's even stranger is ...... Zhifan Shen something is going on over there too.

His fingers gently rubbed the warm cup of coffee as his eyes contemplated Zhifan Shen's eyes and emotions just now, which did not look like a disguise, given some of his experiences over the years.

Something must have happened to Zhifan Shen, when he talked to Zhifan Shen yesterday, the other party was normal, even though they did not have a good time.

But Zhifan Shen acted almost as if he didn't know him today, not to mention the strange words and behavior.

He frowned at the thought.

It's not a gamble. Something's happened to him.

......

Zhirou Shen stared hard into her slit-like eyes.

"It's true," Zhifan Shen sighed, looking at her somewhat helplessly, "I truly don't remember anything, my memories of yesterday are still stuck on the day you were caught cheating on your exams and went home to spill your guts."

"When did I, when did I cheat on a test and go home and throw a tantrum?" Zhirou Shen vainly reasoned.

"Seven years ago, in short," Zhifan Shen rubbed the Solar Plexus, after the initial incredulity he was finally starting to face reality head on, "I lost those seven years of memories, I remembered that I was only sixteen years old instead of twenty-three, and that I was living in N- 192 is the Emperor Planet in the highest galaxy of A1, and you were only twelve years old as far as I can remember."

Zhirou Shen opened his mouth wide and did not speak.

"I ......" Zhifan Shen collapsed somewhat confusedly onto the soft couch, looking at the strangeness of it all, placing the warm cushion on his chest and hugging it, a position that was a sign of his insecurity, " But I don't think I have any symptoms of amnesia either, I ...... Does this sound ridiculous?"

Zhirou Shen subconsciously nodded, then shook his head quickly, and finally hastened to reassure.

"Don't, don't rush brother, you've had a bad brain since you were a child, let's think about it slowly," Zhirou Shen was almost scared to tears, the face that was already shabby looked even more scary, and what was said did not know what kind of bad luck, but Zhifan Shen inexplicably felt at ease, after all, this is the sister's sincere care, "Is the recent mecha league too much stress ah, I, do we have to go to the doctor," he said. "Is not the recent mecha league too much pressure ah, I, we have to go to the doctor?"

Zhifan Shen thought for a moment, nodding and shaking his head, "Looking is the way to go, but wait a minute, I haven't felt any discomfort yet, have I ...... had any accidents lately?"

"No, no," Zhirou Shen bites his lip hard to recall, and finally bereft, he lowers his head, tears snapping down his face, "It's been a long time since you've been paying much attention to me, and I'm not really too sure about your recent situation, I'm sorry brother... ...I didn't think anything like this would happen to you."

"I'm not hitting on you?" Zhifan Shen froze.

Although he thought Zhirou Shen was indeed quite annoying, the family relationship had always been very good.

Zhirou Shen huffed and nodded.

Zhifan Shen sighed, "Must be something bad you did, honestly."

Zhirou Shen froze, then firmly shook his head again, and finally bit his lip after a moment of silence, "I don't have ...... it's just that the mecha league is exhausting, and you're always working so hard that you don't have time to pay attention to me."

"Mecha League ......" Zhifan Shen, who always hears this term, was a bit confused, "What's a mecha league?"

Mecha for living in the N-192 planet such a sound know is the interstellar nooks and crannies of the place of the teenagers are very strange things, usually only live in the images and books, Zhifan Shen saw a half really, half of which I heard that the mecha is the grandfather of the grandfather when he was young to cobble together their own pile of metal monsters, looks and the mecha do not look like, but I heard that in the past is really can be used, so barely counted half.

Zhirou Shen cried out again with a wow sound after hearing this.

"Brother even if you're stupid I'll support you for the rest of your life!"

Zhifan Shen : "......"

Touched but really not to the point of stupidity.

"The mecha league is the young people's most emerging tournament, the tournament is divided into virtual duels and mecha duels, newcomers are not allowed to touch the real mecha, only when the score and the number of segments go up can they touch the mecha duels," Zhirou Shen explained for a while and then couldn't help but huff and puff, "Brother! You are now the number one popularity player in the mecha league, your future is boundless."

"That one looks out." Zhifan Shen glanced at his own abode, comparing it to the house he'd had to move to once when he was still living in N-192 when the metal storms had come and gone.

I have to say that Zhifan Shen is lost and a little bit lost. Yesterday he was a teenager in the nooks and crannies of the intergalactic world, and in the blink of an eye he's the hot new kid on the block at Emperor Planet.

Not to mention the mech ...... mech is almost every teenager s heart has had a dream ah.

Zhifan Shen looked at his palms for a moment, thinking that these could be pondered over again slowly, and as he thought about it, he suddenly realized that something was missing from the room.

"Right, where's mom and dad, I'll have to tell them about this soon."

Zhirou Shen froze, his face suddenly paling.

Zhifan Shen was stunned and subconsciously felt that there was some bad news.

"Brother--" Zhirou Shen lengthened his tone and hung his head, his voice trembling slightly, "There has ...... been no mom or dad. "

Zhifan Shen face also suddenly white.

"Right, it was also seven years ago ......" Zhirou Shen seemed to think of something, she grasped her hair with one hand, obviously recalling this matter very painfully, "Seven years ago, N-192 had a very serious explosion, everyone almost died ...... We were lucky to leave alive, the whole planet, almost all of it has been destroyed."
