Book 20: Chapter 5
Standing at the door to the room, I took in a deep breath. I know Sister Ning had locked herself in her room with her blanket tightly wrapped around her and was trembling. After all, there were two strangers in the dining room merrily drinking beer that belonged to her. Anybody would be scared if they were in her shoes. Moreover, her cell phone was with Nier, though Nier didnt know the phone call already ended. Nier waited for my voice, but she no longer needed to hear it after getting drunk.
I needed to calm down my Sister Ning. Otherwise, she would think of how to report them to the police once she calmed down. Once the police knocked, the complexity of the situation would escalate. The four of them didnt have foreigner identification papers; they came here illegally. If they were discovered, they might even be deported The question was which country do the four of them belong to? Therefore, it was best to avoid letting anyone discover them. The two elves might do something if they were discovered.
I needed to convince Sister Ning to accept the four of them. How was I meant to introduce them, though? Nier and Mommy Elizabeth werent as troublesome to introduce since they were humans. in addition, their eye colours werent much different to ours. Hence, I could write them off as foreigners. What about Vyvyan and Lucia, though? The two of them didnt have human appearances. Mommy Vyvyans ears particularly stood out.
I needed to carefully contemplate how to explain Vyvyan and Lucia. And, how was I supposed to explain the situation? Vyvyan and Elizabeth were my mothers in the other world, but I was Zhu Liangzhe in this world and had a biological mother, in other words, Zhu Liangzhes biological mother. I didnt know who I identified as. Was I Zhu Liangzhe or Troy? I lived here, so I should be Zhu Liangzhe? The four of them recognised me, nevertheless. So, should I be Troy?
I touched my face. Honestly, I couldnt tell the difference between my own face and Troys by touch because they were both my face. I couldnt feel any difference. I went to the bathroom next to Sister Nings room and turned on the light. I checked my face in the mirror, but I shouldnt have been able to see anything
There was an image on the mirror. I could see a face on it. It was supposed to be my face, but there was something strange. I couldnt understand why. Rather, I couldnt tell whose it was. There was a mans face, but I couldnt tell if it was Zhu Liangzhes or Troys. Their faces shouldve been different, but there were no unique traits on this face. I remember a saying: when youve worn a mask for too long, the mask will be stuck to your face. I guess that meant the two faces had fused.
Mommy Elizabeth and the three dont know how Zhu Liangzhe originally looked, which was why they saw Troy. As for Sister Ning, she didnt know how Troy looks. Accordingly, she saw Zhu Liangzhe.
My identity wasnt important in the current dilemma. I didnt want to think about whether I was Troy or Zhu Liangzhe anymore. I sighed then knocked on the door: Sister Ning? Sister Ning? Its fine now. Its fine now. Its me. Dont be scared. Its fine now.
Liangzhe? Liangzhe, youre back?! Sister Ning tightly hugged me as soon as she opened the door. She sobbed as she exclaimed, Liangzhe, Liangzhe, I was scared to death. Liangzhe, a crazy woman barged in, choked me and snatched my phone. I was so scared. I couldnt understand what she said. Then, she rummaged through our house. I was so scared, so, so scared. Liangzhe, lets report this to the police. Lets report this!
I hugged Sister Ning with a helpless smile: Theres no need to report to the police. Theres no need. I, uh I know them. Theyre not bad people, and theyre not robbers.
What? You know them?!
Sister Ning looked toward the four with surprise. Mommy Vyvyan and Mommy Elizabeth looked back at her with fascinated looks. Nier and Lucia were grumpy. In fact, Lucia looked as though she wanted to kill Sister Ning. I wouldnt put it past an extremely jealous elf to do that.
They Dont tell me your blind date candidate was actually these people. Whats with them? Are they foreigners or extraterrestrials? I I dont I dont recognise them I those ears
Mm Its a little difficult to explain, but I guarantee theyre not bad people. Additionally mm, we have a profound connection between us. They suddenly appeared here, so I, mm how do I explain this? Sister Ning, just know that I know them, and that theyre good people.
Sister Ning leaned onto my shoulder and replied, That doesnt qualify as an explanation
Lucias patience reached its limit. If Sister Ning remained on my shoulder, shed lose her life sooner or later I spun around to my moms and wives: Mm how do I put this? I lived here for some time. This is Sister Ning, who looked after me Shes akin to my older sister She has a very normal and very ordinary relationship with me, so Lucia, Nier, dont be agitated
Elder sister?
Lucia immediately believed me. She looked at Sister Ning and pinched her eyebrows together. Confused, she pinched her chin and inquired, Your Highness, what should I do if she is His Highness elder sister?
Sorry, Lucia, I only have one child. Moreover, the human cant be his biological sister, right? Therefore, you can just treat her as an ordinary human.
Shes not a normal human, either!!
Sister Ning watched us converse in surprise. She whispered in my ear, Liangzhe, Liangzhe, what language are you speaking? How come Ive never heard it before?
This is mm Czech?
Czech?! When did you learn it?!
Umm self-taught, self-taught
Please stop asking me Youre cornering me, I pleaded in my mind.
By the way, Sister, Ning, theres one more thing thats very important. Do not tell Mom about this Never tell her. I promise I will sort this out soon. In the meantime, do not let my mom come here!!
My mom, who had a military background, would never accept a woman with an unclear background, not to mention I had four of them. If she found out I couldnt explain their background properly, shed probably execute them She was my mom; more often than not, though, she was my chief
I can keep it a secret, but I cant be sure if Auntie will come or not
Huh? Mom wont come if she doesnt have business
No Auntie selected your blind date candidate. You stood her up, though Given Aunties personality Im certain dead certain shell come and give you an earful
Aaaahh! My brain at that moment: Crap! That could happen! Actually, it will happen! Mom will definitely do that! Crap!
