Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Unveiling Secrets

An Increasing Connection

Despite neither of them being willing to publicly acknowledge their affections, Chai Xiaoqi and Fang Leng found themselves spending more time together as the days went by. Fang Leng's somber and calculating manner frequently clashed with Xiaoqi's joyous and naive outlook on life on Earth, yet it was just these contrasts that brought them closer.

They ended up at the municipal park one evening. After seeing a romance movie, Xiaoqi had demanded to practice Earth's "date" customs, and Fang Leng had grudgingly complied.

Why do people refer to something as a date? Sincerely perplexed, Xiaoqi inquired, "There are no calendars or numbers involved." At her innocent inquiry, Fang Leng couldn't help but smile.

It has nothing to do with calendar dates. He clarified, "It's about spending time together."

Xiaoqi's expression brightened as to Fang Leng's chagrin, she firmly grasped his arm. "So we should eat this on all of our dates!" She gestured toward a cotton candy stand.

Xiaoqi's naive joy captivated Fang Leng, who could not help but stare at her while she stared at the fluffy surprise.

Jiang Xue's Finding

Jiang Xue, Fang Leng's assistant, had been beginning to doubt Xiaoqi in the meantime. She began using the resources available to her to investigate Xiaoqi's origins, but what she found baffled her.

"No documents? No proof of identity? As she browsed through several databases, she said, "This doesn't make sense."

In an attempt to learn the truth, Jiang Xue made the decision to covertly follow Xiaoqi. She witnessed Xiaoqi unintentionally turning on a tiny extraterrestrial gadget one evening, which caused the streetlights around to flicker crazily. As Jiang Xue's doubts grew, she gasped.

"She's not typical... But who is she?

The Secret of the Orb

With Pi Pi's assistance, Xiaoqi had finally found her missing signal orb back at Fang Leng's apartment. When Xiaoqi took the orb out of the vase, it was glowing dimly.

"At last! "My link to Cape Town!" she cried out. However, when she activated it, the orb broadcast a hologram that displayed an urgent message from her home planet.

"Your mission is jeopardized, Xiaoqi. People from Earth are unpredictable. If you can't avoid connection, your energy source will get weaker. Finish your assignment and come back right away.

Conflicted, Xiaoqi gazed at the hologram. She paused for the first time. Fang Leng and the life she was starting to love on Earth came to her mind.

"Avoid becoming attached? However, why does it feel so cozy while we're together?" She said to herself in a whisper.

The Past of Fang Leng Was Disclosed

Fang Leng was rummaging through an old photo book on the opposite side of the apartment. A younger version of himself and a woman who looked somewhat like Xiaoqi were seen in the photos.

"Why did you leave, Mother?" His eyes gleamed with unshed tears as he said.

Fang Leng was emotionally damaged and mistrustful as a youngster since his mother had vanished. His icy demeanor served as a buffer against the hurt of being abandoned.

He heard Xiaoqi's upbeat voice coming from the living room as he closed the CD. He wasn't prepared to acknowledge it, but her presence was gradually melting the barriers surrounding his heart.

Xue Jiang Faces Xiaoqi

Jiang Xue cornered Xiaoqi in the foyer of Fang Leng's business the next day. "Really, who are you?" With a stern tone, Jiang Xue requested.

"My name is Xiaoqi. Her antennae twitched slightly, indicating her uneasiness, but she said innocently, "Fang Leng's... friend."

"Avoid playing tricks on me. I witnessed your use of the gadget. Ordinary individuals cannot withstand an accident like you experienced or cause lights to flicker. What do you have to conceal?

Xiaoqi felt her heart pound. When she was finally beginning to comprehend earthly feelings, she couldn't allow Jiang Xue to reveal who she was. Quickly thinking, she used her time-freezing power to stop Jiang Xue in the middle of her statement.

Before leaving the scene, Xiaoqi said, "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you."

Later that night, it rained In the evening, a sudden downpour soaked the city. While mindlessly meandering, Xiaoqi ended up on the same bridge where she had originally encountered Fang Leng. As she struggled with the contradictory feelings within herself, the rain mixed with her tears.

"Why is everything so complicated on this planet?" Her despair caused her antennae to darken as she sobbed.

Fang Leng had been following her without her knowledge. He walked silently over with an umbrella and covered her with it.

His typical sternness was replaced with worry as he whispered quietly, "You'll get a cold, idiot."

Xiaoqi's eyes widened in astonishment as she gazed up at him. "Fang Leng, why are you interested?"

His voice could hardly be heard above the rain as he paused before answering. "I'm not sure. However, I do.

The suspenseful ending as the As the rain persisted, the two stood side by side, their feelings whirling like the surrounding storm. Xiaoqi was afraid about Fang Leng's response when she revealed her secret. Fang Leng, meantime, struggled with his own vulnerability issues.

A dramatic moment marks the end of the chapter.

"We need to act before it's too late," Jiang Xue calls an unidentified entity after learning about Xiaoqi's talents.

"I have to choose: my mission or my heart," Xiaoqi says in a low voice as she grips the signal orb.
