“Wow, he’s so handsome! Is there some celebrity filming here?”
“I don’t know, but I think they’re even more handsome than today’s top celebrities.”
“Look, look! That guy’s clothes are so cool. They look like military uniforms, but they’re not quite the same. He looks so stylish in them.”
“Who are they? They seem to want to ask for my phone number.”
A group of girls surrounded the two men in the middle, chattering excitedly, their eyes sparkling with hearts, and some even eager to approach and strike up a conversation.
On the contrary, the person surrounded in the middle looked a little confused, as if he hadn’t reacted yet. However, it was this expression that excited the girls around him even more, making them exclaim, “So handsome and cute!”
If there were people from the Chinese Empire here, they would definitely recognize the two people standing in the middle of the crowd at a glance, after all, these are the national Male Gods of their empire.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing exchanged a glance, clearly puzzled by their surroundings. They had just been fighting those beasts on Planet Seyfert, so how did they suddenly find themselves on another planet, surrounded by onlookers?
However, as expected of the knowledgeable and calm Han Junzhan, he quickly suppressed all his doubts, regained his usual expressionless demeanor, and led Luo Lingxing out of the encirclement.
Regardless, it was best to stay away from these girls for now. They seemed to be staring at them like they wanted to devour them, and it would be a real problem if they were recognized.
However, Han Junzhan was unaware that his action instantly made the girls’ gazes even more intense, to the point that they were so excited that they couldn’t even speak clearly.
“What a sweet scene! That guy is holding another guy’s hand! Do you think they might be…?” a girl excitedly said to her companion, looking even more excited than if she had met her idol.
“It should be true. They’re both so handsome, they look like a perfect match. If it’s true, then it’s really… really amazing.”
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen them in person, and they’re all handsome guys. It’s such a feast for the eyes. Sure enough, all the handsome guys have gone to find other handsome guys, leaving us single dogs to spend Christmas alone.”
“If I could see handsome guys engaging in gay relationships every day, I’d rather spend every Christmas and Valentine’s Day alone,” a girl exclaimed excitedly, clenching her fist, immediately echoing the sentiments of the other girls.
“Let’s hurry and catch up, they’re leaving!” another girl hurriedly reminded the others.
Although they didn’t know each other before, they were able to communicate without barriers because of their shared hobbies and quickly became good friends.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing noticed the girls following them immediately, but at first they just thought they were fans. After all, this kind of thing happens often, and compared to those crazy fans, it was already much better that these girls were just following them.
However, after walking for a while, they noticed that the girls behind them were still following them. They didn’t ask for autographs or talk to them, but just kept following. They frowned and listened to their whispered conversation. It seemed that they didn’t know them, which meant that they were probably not their fans.
“Is there something you need?” Han Junzhan turned around and asked the girls directly.
The girls realized they had been exposed, and hurriedly shook their heads in unison, their faces flushed and their eyes sparkling.
Luo Lingxing quietly tugged at Han Junzhan’s sleeve.
“What’s wrong?” Han Junzhan asked gently.
Luo Lingxing looked around and then whispered, “Jun Zhan, I find this place very strange.”
Han Junzhan also looked around, his brows still furrowed, and said, “Hmm, this shouldn’t be our empire.”
Although there were skyscrapers here just like in the Empire, and people dressed similarly, there were still many differences. For example, there were no castles in the air or hover cars. Instead, there were only cars running on land.
Although the Empire’s hover cars also had land-running capabilities, there were certain requirements for driving on land. Therefore, most people choose to use the aerial tracks and rarely drive on land. However, here, they all drove on land, and the design of these cars was outdated.
“Then we’ve traveled through time,” Luo Lingxing said calmly.
No matter where they are now, it was easy to imagine that they must have traveled to another planet for some reason. After all, one second they were in Seyfert and the next second they were on this planet. Luo Lingxing couldn’t think of any other explanation besides time travel. Moreover, having already traveled once before, Luo Lingxing was already indifferent to time travel.
As for the location of this planet, he believed Han Junzhan would find out soon.
“Hmm, and I’ve noticed that everything here is very similar to the ancient Earth described in the books,” Han Junzhan said somewhat uncertainly, but knowing that time travel was a real possibility, he was already starting to believe it.
The people of the Chinese Empire migrated and developed from the ancient Earth, so they still had some books about the ancient Earth, and everything here was very similar to what was described in the books.
“Ancient Earth, huh? But it seems quite different from my time. It’s probably been developing for much longer than my era,” Luo Lingxing said, looking around.
He later learned that the place he lived in his previous life was Earth, but it was a period that had never been recorded on Earth. Everything here was completely different from his previous life, and most importantly, there was no spiritual energy here.
His master once said that the spiritual energy in the world was becoming increasingly scarce and could eventually disappear completely. Cultivators might also become extinct as a result. Now it seemed that there were no more cultivators on Earth.
Han Junzhan walked up to the group of girls who were following them and asked, “Can you tell me what time it is?”
“It’s already 7 p.m.,” the girls said, immediately taking out their phones.
“What date?” Han Junzhan continued to ask.
“Christmas Day, December 25, 2016.” Although the girl felt his question was a bit strange, she was still excited that the handsome guy was talking to her, and she quickly answered.
“Thank you.” Han Junzhan thanked her and returned to Luo Lingxing’s side, having also gained a basic understanding of the place.
“It’s Christmas on Earth. Christmas is a religious festival that celebrates the birth of Jesus. However, it’s not a Chinese holiday. It was introduced from abroad, but it has disappeared in the course of history,” Han Junzhan explained to Luo Lingxing.
“Oh, so what do we do now?” Although Luo Lingxing was calm about the time travel, he still couldn’t help feeling a little uncomfortable in a completely unfamiliar environment, especially since he didn’t know if they could go back.
“People here seem to value Christmas quite a bit, and many couples go out on Christmas Day. Why don’t we do as the locals do and experience Christmas here?” Han Junzhan said, feeling a little excited.
After all, ancient Earth was the mother planet of their Chinese Empire. Although they had never seen Earth since birth, it was mentioned in textbooks to prevent future generations from forgetting their original mother planet. Now that they had been fortunate enough to return to Earth, how could they not take this opportunity to learn more about it? Who knew when they would inexplicably return to the empire again?
“Okay,” Luo Lingxing replied. He felt at ease as long as Han Junzhan was by his side.
The two walked hand in hand down the street, completely unconcerned about the surprised or strange looks from others. After all, back in the Empire, as public figures, they had received all sorts of attention and were used to it.
Luo Lingxing felt just like when he first arrived in the Empire, finding everything new and interesting. Although Han Junzhan maintained a blank expression, his eyes betrayed his thoughts.
“Junzhan, Junzhan, let’s go over there.” Luo Lingxing pointed to an old man who was handing out gifts to children not far away, but he found his attire strange.
“Okay.” Han Junzhan naturally spoiled Luo Lingxing unconditionally. He would not refuse whatever he wanted to do. Luo Lingxing stood in front of Santa Claus, looking at him curiously. It was the first time he had ever seen someone dressed so strangely. However, Santa Claus took out a small gift from his big bag and handed it to Luo Lingxing, smiling kindly and saying, “Merry Christmas.”
“Thank you.” Luo Lingxing was very happy to accept the small gift, and a sweet smile appeared on his face.
Perhaps because he was in a strange and curious environment, Luo Lingxing behaved in a way that was more in line with his age, which made Han Junzhan feel very gratified.
“Junzhan, the festivals on Earth are so lively!” Luo Lingxing said as he strolled around.
As they walked along, there were not only Santa Claus delivering gifts, but also street performances, fireworks, and vendors selling all sorts of interesting snacks and trinkets—it was incredibly lively.
“Mn.” Han Junzhan responded calmly. He hadn’t expected that life on ancient Earth was like this. Although it couldn’t compare to the power of the interstellar era and its technology wasn’t advanced, everyone had a bright smile on their face, and the streets were bustling with people. It was unlike the interstellar era, where people could do everything at home and rarely needed to go out, and there was very little communication between them.
“Delicious Fate Restaurant,” Luo Lingxing read aloud, looking at the shining sign in front of her.
“Are you hungry? Let’s go in and get something to eat. I wonder what the food on Earth tastes like,” Han Junzhan said. “Okay,” Luo Lingxing replied, also showing great interest in the cuisine of this era.
However, the couple was politely stopped by a waiter at the door, who said, “I’m sorry, it’s Christmas today, and we have a promotion that only serves couples.”
The waitress rarely saw handsome men like Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing, and her heart ached when she stopped them. Unfortunately, that was the store’s rule for today, so she had no choice but to follow it. Otherwise, the presence of two such handsome men in their store would definitely attract more customers.
“We’re partners,” Luo Lingxing said, puzzled. He and Han Junzhan had already had a wedding, so why was he stopping them?
“Huh?” The waiter was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, looking at Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing in disbelief.
Many people around heard Luo Lingxing’s words, and many of the girls who were already excited became even more excited. “We’re all married,” Luo Lingxing said again, completely unaware that his words were like dropping a bombshell.
“They’re married, let them in quickly,” a girl said from behind.
“How sweet! They even got married. They are so brave.”
“Wishing you a happy marriage, and may you always be together.”
“I wish you happiness.” Many people echoed the blessings. Although Luo Lingxing was a little confused about the current situation, he accepted the blessings from others.
“Thank you,” Luo Lingxing said, expressing his gratitude one by one.
Han Junzhan glanced at the waiter, then turned around and pulled Luo Lingxing into his arms, pressing his lips to his. The surrounding area erupted in even louder cheers, and even the waiter was thrilled.
“Is it okay now?” Han Junzhan said coldly. Although he didn’t know why those people didn’t believe that he and Luo Luo were a couple, this should prove it, right?
“Yes, yes, please come in. Couples get half price today. Enjoy your meal,” the waiter said, still a little dazed, clearly not yet recovered from the excitement.
After Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing entered the restaurant, almost everyone’s eyes were focused on them, not only because they were the only same-sex couple there, but also because they had heard the conversation at the door clearly.
Although the country has not yet passed a same-sex marriage law at this time, it does not prevent them from blessing same-sex couples.
“Here’s the menu, please order,” another waiter said as he approached.
Looking at the food on the menu, which was completely different from the interstellar cuisine, Luo Lingxing’s eyes lit up. He loved food and especially enjoyed trying different kinds of food, so he ordered whatever he liked without paying attention to whether the other two had eaten.
“Do you want all of these?” the waitress asked again, glancing at Han Junzhan, because she had a feeling that he was someone in a superior position.
“If he likes it, then listen to him,” Han Junzhan said indulgently.
“Okay, please wait a moment, it will be brought to you shortly.” The waiter was so dazzled by Han Junzhan’s doting smile that he went to read out the menu in a daze.
Sure enough, the Chinese Empire from Earth was the birthplace of delicious food. It had instantly conquered Luo Lingxing’s stomach that very night. He ate with satisfaction, and the leftovers were packed and taken away by Luo Lingxing. He planned to continue eating after digesting. “What are we going to do next?” Luo Lingxing asked.
“Let’s go watch a movie and see how the movies of this era are different from ours.” Han Junzhan said with a smile. He was suddenly happy to travel to the Earth.
When he was in the Empire, he and Luo Lingxing had their own professions. They were also very busy at ordinary times, and there were not many opportunities to date. Especially when both of them were very famous, it was even more difficult to go out for a date. However, tonight gave him the opportunity to date he dreamed of, which was completely different from the dating experience on the planet of Seyfert. Although there were many around him, he realized the true essence of what dating was.
The two went shopping, ate and watched movies like other couples, and with a festive atmosphere like Christmas, everything in the Empire seemed a little far away. Maybe living like this on Earth was good too.
