The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy

The fading footsteps made a circle outside and returned to the basement.

A soldier stamped his feet.

"What's down here?"

"This is the storage room, where some old things and equipment are stored." Leo's voice sounded at the right time. He had quietly come to the entrance of the basement without knowing when. His tone was calm and natural, as if it was just a very ordinary fact.

Hearing this, the soldiers looked at him with puzzled eyes.

The captain of the soldiers narrowed his eyes and examined Leo, as if trying to determine the truth in his words.

After a moment, he waved his hand, signaling a soldier to go down and check. The soldier hesitated, but still went ahead and took the magnifying glass, which shone a bright light. He carefully walked down the narrow stairs to the basement.

In the basement, Sheng Rao and Leah held their breath and waited. Sheng Rao held Leah's hand tightly, giving her silent comfort.

Although Leah was afraid, she tried to calm herself down when she saw Sheng Rao's determined eyes.

The soldier's flashlight beam swept across the basement and finally stopped at where Sheng Rao and Leah were hiding.

At this time, the soldier pushed open the door.

"what!"

"Who is it?" The soldier looked at Sheng Rao and Leah warily.

Sheng Rao and Liya were seen holding a device each in their hands.

"Who are you? Don't you know that outsiders are not allowed to come in here?"

Sheng Rao remained calm and asked the question in a questioning tone.

Leo heard the noise and came over.

"Leah, why are you here?"

Leo had a brief eye contact with Sheng Rao and Leah, and instantly understood what they meant and followed their performance.

"Brother, I asked Sister Sheng to bring me down. I want to fix my robot."

Leah looked at Leo aggrievedly, like a child who had done something wrong.

"This is my sister and her caregiver. My sister is not in good health and I have kept her locked up, so she always sneaks out to play."

Leo explained to the soldier.

These soldiers also investigated the situation inside the pirate group's shelter, so he knew that what Leo said was true.

"Okay, let the nurse take your sister away."

The soldier waved his hand and let Sheng Rao and Leah go.

At the urging of the soldiers, Sheng Rao and Liya slowly walked out of the basement. There was a mixture of relief and fear of the unknown in their eyes. They walked one after the other, trying to maintain a natural pace, but their hearts were beating as fast as drums.

Leo followed closely behind, with an imperceptible complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Back in the hall of the shelter, the soldiers had completed most of the search, but apparently found nothing.

The captain of the soldiers looked livid, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the result.

He glared at Leo, as if warning him not to make any small moves, and then prepared to leave with his men.

"Wait." Leo suddenly spoke, his voice was not loud but enough to make everyone present stop.

He walked slowly up to the captain of the soldiers, looked him straight in the eye, and his tone was filled with unquestionable firmness.

"Although I, Leo, was a pirate in the past, I am not someone who can be easily bullied. If you are here today to hunt down some important fugitives, I will naturally not stop you. But if you are causing trouble without reason, my pirate group will not tolerate it."

The captain of the soldiers sneered, obviously not taking Leo's warning seriously.

"Leo, we naturally have our mission. As for whether you are innocent or not, we will know once we find the person. However, you'd better pray that we don't find anything we shouldn't find, otherwise..."

He didn't continue, but the threat in his words was self-evident.

Leo sneered and said nothing more. He just moved aside to make way.

The soldiers filed out, and peace returned to the shelter again, but undercurrents were surging beneath this peace.

Leo turned and looked at Sheng Rao and Leah, his eyes becoming a little softer.

"Are you guys okay?"

Leah shook her head, but she was now filled with excitement.

Because she knew a secret of Sheng Rao, but she didn't know if she could tell this secret to her brother.

"Leo, I'm sorry."

Leo didn't understand why Sheng Rao suddenly said sorry.

But when he saw Sheng Rao's eyes, he suddenly understood everything.

Although the color of these eyes is different, the expression is the same as that of the woman in the photo.

"This is not the place to talk. You come with me."

Leo said softly, then led Sheng Rao and Leah through the intricate corridors of the shelter, eventually arriving at a relatively secluded and simply decorated room.

This room is obviously Leo's private space. There are several old photos hanging on the wall. The people in the photos are either smiling or angry, revealing an indescribable warmth and past glory.

In the center stood a wooden desk, on which were scattered several yellowed interstellar logbooks and a hand-drawn star map.

"sit down."

Leo pointed to two chairs in the corner of the room, then sat down at the desk, his eyes gently sweeping over Sheng Rao and Leah.

Leah seemed a little excited, but Sheng Rao remained calm.

"Leo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide my identity."

Sheng Rao continued to apologize, it seemed that it was time to reveal her true identity.

She has been with the Leoria siblings for so long, she knows that these two are not bad people.

When Leah heard this, she immediately followed Sheng Rao's words and said excitedly: "Brother, you will never guess what Sister Sheng's true identity is!"

"Sister Sheng, can I tell my brother?"

Leah's eyes were sparkling with anticipation and excitement, as if a huge secret was about to be revealed, which made her full of energy.

Sheng Rao nodded slightly, gave her an encouraging smile, and indicated that she could continue.

"Brother, let me tell you, Sister Sheng is a mermaid! I actually saw a living mermaid!"

Leah has always heard stories about mermaids and humans on the optical computer. She has never seen a mermaid, but she has always known that mermaids are beautiful creatures.

When Leo heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by tenderness and curiosity.

He looked at Sheng Rao, as if trying to confirm from her expression whether what Leah said was true. Sheng Rao smiled slightly and nodded gently. That smile showed both relief and gratitude for the trust.

"Mermaid... this is indeed an unexpected identity." Leo said slowly, with amazement and a hint of subtle complex emotions in his tone.

He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the dark night sky outside, as if recalling something.

"When I was a child, I heard the legend about mermaids. They live on a distant planet, possess extraordinary beauty and wisdom, are the guardians of the ocean, and are a race that can give birth to offspring for humans." Leo turned around and his eyes fell on Sheng Rao again, his eyes flashing with unprecedented seriousness and respect.

"Rao Sheng, or rather... Miss Mermaid, can you tell me why you came here? And why did you hide your identity?"

"I said I was framed and fell into this situation..."

Sheng Rao told Leo and Leah about the original owner's experience.
