Chapter 31 Why is this reaction different from what he expected?
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Estella arrive.
The train had visited the space station more than once, and he and Estella were practically acquaintances.
With her help to get things out of trouble, this farce finally came to an end.
"Station Master Estella, over here." Lu Li waved to her.
Estelle looked over, and the next moment she froze completely.
She was dressed especially formally today because she was going to attend a formal banquet.
But when he received a report from his subordinates that a "man" had caused a disturbance in the business district, he rushed over immediately.
I just wanted to see which deity had such great charm.
But I never expected it to be... Lu Li?!
Estella stared wide-eyed at Lu Li, who was still alive.
As the station commander, Aista naturally watched yesterday's live broadcast from the Sky Screen.
From beginning to end, not a single second was missed.
She was even the one who cried the most.
Therefore, she knew better than anyone how similar the face in front of her was to the face in the sky.
Not like.
They are exactly the same.
Estelle's beautiful eyes widened, her small mouth slightly open, and her finger trembling as she pointed at Lu Li.
"Lu...Lu...Lu..."
She pondered for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything conclusive.
Lu Li: "..."
Why is it different from what he thought?
wrong.
illusion.
It must be an illusion.
"Um... Station Master Estella?"
Then Lu Li saw Aistar circle around him, her eyes fixed on him as if appraising a treasure.
"So alike, so incredibly alike," Estella murmured to herself, "They're practically identical..."
The next moment, she reached out her hand.
It seems like it wants to touch the person to confirm if they are real.
Lu Li's forehead was sweating, and he quickly took a step back.
"Stationmaster Estelle, long time no see." Lu Li coughed awkwardly twice. "We can catch up later. Could you all leave now?"
"It's not good to be stuck in traffic here..."
Estella then came to her senses.
She pulled her hand back, and a blush crept across her face.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Even if the two look alike, you're still incredibly embarrassing.
Estella mentally punched herself.
Then Estelle regained her stationmaster aura and turned to look at the onlookers.
"Alright, everyone disperse."
"If you think about it calmly, you'll realize that this Mr. Lu Li is not the same person you're thinking of."
"But it's agreed—he's a distinguished guest on our space station."
"Anyone who harasses him or affects his mood will have their credit points deducted."
Everyone then came to their senses.
Yes, Lu Li on the sky is already...
"Sigh, the stationmaster is right, Lu Li is already... We saw it with our own eyes..."
"Waaaaah, my Lu Li..."
"But he really looks like him... Can I get his autograph?"
"Forget it, didn't you hear Station Master Estella say not to bother him? I don't want to lose credit points."
"Speaking of which, I know his account, even though it's not real. Why don't you follow it too, just to keep a memento?"
"Push it to me! Push it to me!"
"Me too! Me too!"
Lu Li, who had heard everything clearly due to his improved cultivation, was speechless.
Lu Li silently looked away.
Ok.
illusion.
It's all an illusion.
……
The crowd dispersed, and the riot finally subsided.
"I'm sorry to have kept you both waiting." Estella returned after finishing her business.
"No, no," Lu Li waved his hand. "I have to thank the station chief for helping me out of that situation; otherwise, I really wouldn't know how I would have handled it."
Estella looked at Lu Li, who was speaking with a smile, and for some reason paused for a moment.
Lu Li: "?"
"Station manager?"
"Ah—sorry, I was daydreaming."
As if waking from a dream, Estelle quickly coughed twice awkwardly and looked away.
Está, oh Está.
Even if you have a question you really want to ask, you can't stare at someone like a lovesick woman.
That's so rude.
Estella mentally punched herself again in frustration.
Estelle then cleared her throat, attempting to regain her authority as stationmaster, "Speaking of which, what brings you two here today...?"
"Restocking." March 7th waved the list. "The train is about to depart; we're here to buy supplies."
"Purchasing supplies?" Estelle's gaze couldn't help but drift towards Lu Li again. "Does he need to come in person?"
The meaning behind that look was clear—is there no one on your train?
Why would you let a "cosmic-level hero" who killed the Destroyer do this kind of menial work?
Lu, a cosmic-level hero: "..."
He's the train's logistics specialist; if he doesn't come, who will?
Lu Li naturally understood the meaning in Estella's eyes.
It seems that yesterday's content on the Sky Screen also affected Estella.
"Um, you might have forgotten," Lu Li said helplessly, "I'm the train's logistics specialist..."
Estella was taken aback.
"Ah...right."
After seeing the sky, she almost forgot that the person in front of her on the train was a handyman.
but……
Looking at Lu Li in front of her, Estella couldn't shake off a thought.
Are they really not the same person?
Her intuition told her yes.
But reason told her that this was not something she should ask.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Estella swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
There are some things she shouldn't be asking.
"In short, you're welcome to come and make purchases." Estelle put on her professional stationmaster smile again. "You can directly contact the Black Tower's think tank for any supplies you need."
"I've already spoken to them; they'll give you an insider price."
"Really?" March 7th's eyes lit up. "That's great!"
"Isn't this too much trouble?" Lu Li asked, somewhat surprised.
"No trouble at all, the Star Train and the space station have always had a cooperative relationship."
Estelle waved her hand, "Just consider it..."
She paused.
"Anyway, we're all acquaintances, so giving us an insider price is nothing."
Upon hearing this, Lu Li did not refuse again.
When traveling, save money wherever you can.
Pam knew he got an insider deal and estimated he'd be spinning in circles.
"Then I won't bother you any longer." Estella turned around and prepared to leave.
After taking only two steps, Estád stopped and turned back.
"By the way, Mr. Lu Li."
"Um?"
"If you encounter any trouble or need help in the future, you can contact me."
"The space station door is always open for you."
Estelle spoke very seriously, without any politeness.
Lu Li paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Thanks."
Estelle nodded, turned and disappeared into the crowd.
