Chapter 429: I Like Your Laugh

In an instant, the difficulty of breathing turned to suffocation. He reached out with all his might, trying to tear the thing off his face.

But the harder he pulled, the harder the black thing pressed against his face.

Eventually, it even seeped into the skin of Lei Luo’s face.

It was a burning pain that was so real and penetrating.

It made Lei Luo clench his teeth, and his whole body couldn’t help but twitch.

“Ah!”

Finally, Lei Luo couldn’t stand it anymore. He opened his mouth wide and shouted out loud with all his strength.

With this shout, Lei Luo woke up from his dream.

When he woke up, he saw all the lights in the hotel room were on, and his head was full of sweat.

He didn’t know whether that shout was in a dream or in reality.

He got up and drank a mouthful of water. Lei Luo sat on the bed, unable to fall asleep again.

So, Lei Luo decided to take a hot bath.

When his whole body was in the bathtub, and the warm water flowed over the surface of his skin, Lei Luo’s nervous mood was slightly relieved.

However, what followed was a faint sense of loneliness.

Lei Luo scratched his head and took out his communication crystal.

After hesitating for a moment, Lei Luo still chose to contact Allie.

“Who is it?”

Allie’s voice was unclear. One could tell that she was woken up from a dream. She was still a little confused.

“What’s wrong? Are you sleeping?” Lei Luo asked.

“Please look at the time.”

Allie’s voice was still not very clear, but it was much better than before.

“Did I wake you up? Then I won’t disturb you anymore,” Lei Luo said somewhat embarrassedly.

“Oh my, you’ve woken me up. It doesn’t matter…what’s wrong with you? You don’t sound like you have something urgent to do. Could it be that you’ve gone there feeling lonely and are beginning to miss me?”

People in the dark were always more emotional and cute than during the day, especially women. Allie was no exception.

If it was during the day, she would never have said such a joke.

But at night, even she didn’t know what was going on, so she just blurted it out.

Allie’s joke stunned Lei Luo for a while. After a while, he nodded and said in a very low voice, “Yes.”

Lei Luo’s voice was very low, but Allie was very quiet, so she heard his answer perfectly.

This time, it was Allie’s turn to be in a daze. She was in a daze for a while before she realized that her ears were a little hot.

Allie cleared her throat shyly and asked, “Did something happen on your side? Did things not go smoothly?”

“No, it went more smoothly than I expected. The other party prepared much more than I expected. I don’t have much work to do. I can go back tomorrow.”

Allie wasn’t very excited when she heard Lei Luo’s words. She seemed a little surprised.

“Isn’t that all good? Why are you still so depressed?”

“I’m fine. I was just…moaning for a moment. Do you find it annoying that I’m like this?” Lei Luo asked timidly.

“How can that be? I think it’s pretty good. No one is invincible. You’re always acting like you can solve anything. It’s actually quite annoying to watch,” Allie said as she slid her originally sitting body onto the bed and raised her head.

“Allie, can you tell me what I look like in your eyes?” Lei Luo asked.

“Nonsense? What’s going on today? You’re such an arrogant guy, but you actually want to hear other people’s comments about you?”

Allie smiled and rolled on the bed.

Lei Luo patted the back of his head awkwardly. “It’s okay to comment once in a while, right?”

“For you, the first thing I feel is that you’re smart.”

“Other than being smart?”

“Conceited, arrogant, and self-righteous. You Don’t trust others in everything but yourself. Also, you like to act big. You like to let others follow your own steps when you do things. Once they don’t obey, you’ll think of ways to make them submit…”

“Hey, stop for a moment. Why does it sound like all of them are flaws? I won’t listen. Tell me some good points.”

Lei Luo protested unhappily.

“Speaking of good points, you actually have a kind side, but you don’t seem to be good at expressing it. I don’t know who taught you to be like this. Even if it’s for the good of others, you always treat others well in a condescending manner. It makes people feel uncomfortable.”

“Is this considered a good point? Why doesn’t it sound like it at all?”

“Barely.”

“Don’t I have any advantages that aren’t forced?”

“Of course. At least you miss me.”

At this point, Allie smiled smugly.

“Do you have to be so happy when I miss you?”

“To be able to make an abnormal human like you want to, it fully proves my boundless charm. It’s not too much to be proud, right?” Allie said as she continued to smile brightly.

Perhaps it was because Allie’s smile was too infectious, Lei Luo, who was originally gloomy, actually laughed along with her.

“Allie, I like your laughter.”

This sentence came out of Lei Luo’s mouth.

And this sentence once again caused a short silence between the two of them.

As if realizing that he had made a mistake, Lei Luo explained in a tone of explanation. “I mean, I like your laughter.”

“I know…since you don’t have anything to do over there, then I want you to accompany me to see Saxton. Can you do that? You can treat it as helping me, or you can treat it as a recuperation before the Great War.”

“No problem,” Lei Luo answered without even thinking.

Just like what he had been doing for the past month or so, although he was very dissatisfied, Zha Mu was still diligently leading his subordinates around the Holy City of Beauty.

During the day, he had to be calculative with Morton to receive and inspect the ships under his command.

He also had to clean up his own internal affairs and restore the formation of those fleets that had been broken up. Every captain and high-ranking commander had to be reappointed.

At night, he still had to bring his mecha team members and the other old “East God” subordinates to patrol the civilian areas that were filled with the rumors of a civilian uprising.

That night, just as he was dressed neatly as usual and was about to go out to patrol, he unexpectedly bumped into Karman in the corridor of the police station.

Just as Zha Mu lowered his head and was about to brush past him as if he hadn’t seen anything, Karman called out to Zha Mu. “Commander Zha Mu.”

Zha Mu stopped and forced a smile. “Lord Karman.”
