Shen Shi nodded in satisfaction, stayed a while longer, confirmed that Lu Shinian wouldn't be coming back today, and then left.
Su Ruan was too lazy to bother with her; this account would be settled slowly, no rush now.
After Shen Shi left, Su Ruan glanced at the Light Brain on her wrist, pulled up her emails, and found an admission letter from the Second Military University.
[Dear Su Ruan, thank you for choosing the Logistics Department of the Second Military University. Please report on August 15th at XXX.]
Su Ruan: ...
The Second Military University was already known as a university for loafers, and the Logistics Department of the Second Military University was the loafer among loafers. Did she seriously enroll in this?
Su Ruan started to reflect on what was going through her mind in her previous life.
As soon as Lu Shinian entered, he saw Su Ruan's small face stern and deep in thought.
His gaze fell on Su Ruan's wrist, which was slightly red, but the marks of shackles were gone.
Lu Shinian's eyelashes fluttered slightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he spoke, "Ruan Ruan."
Su Ruan's body stiffened, but she quickly responded, looked up at Lu Shinian, her eyes brightened, "You're back!"
She stood up and walked swiftly towards Lu Shinian.
When she reached his side, she suddenly hugged his waist, looking up with a small face, her eyebrows arching, "I missed you."
Lu Shinian's breath caught, barely believing those words came from Su Ruan's mouth.
Her image reflected in his dark pupils; after a long pause, his voice was husky, "What do you want?"
Su Ruan paused.
"I don't want anything," she just purely missed him.
As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist was grabbed by Lu Shinian. His grip was surprisingly strong, as if he wanted to crush her and merge her into his bones.
"You only want to leave?" Lu Shinian's mouth curved up, his handsome face bearing a cold smile, "Su Ruan, you will never escape me in this lifetime."
He lowered his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of hoarseness, "You are mine."
Only his.
Su Ruan nodded with a smile, "Mm-hmm, yours, yours."
In her previous life, she found this kind of Lu Shinian overbearing and ruthless; now, she felt he was like a child who couldn't get candy, stubbornly repeating his request.
Knowing that if she didn't ask for something, this wouldn't end, she tugged at Lu Shinian's sleeve, "I want a Level 2 Energy Stone, is that okay?"
Energy Stones, a special energy source, are the core energy of Mecha and the energy pillar that supports the operation of machines.
Energy Stones are divided into five levels, a Level 1 Energy Stone can support an ordinary family's electricity use for ten years and is the most common on the market.
A Level 2 Energy Stone is only supplied to wealthy families, with only one or two large shops on the market trading them.
However, for Lu Shinian, being the highest Commander of the Interstellar Federation, a Level 2 Energy Stone was easy to acquire.
Su Ruan's request wasn't excessive.
Lu Shinian didn't particularly care for a Level 2 Energy Stone either, as he had two energy stone mines under his name and wouldn't be lacking in Energy Stones anytime soon.
However...
"What does Ruan Ruan want the Energy Stone for?"
There were too many uses for an Energy Stone, he couldn't help but suspect if she would use the Energy Stone to leave him.
Su Ruan had already thought of an excuse, and when he asked, she obediently replied, "In a week, I'm starting school. I heard there's an entrance exam, so I wanted to use the Level 2 Energy Stone to practice."
After she finished speaking, she paused for two seconds and then said, "If you're unwilling, never mind, I'll buy it myself."
In Lu Shinian's eyes, the girl's willfulness was clearly an act of coquettishness, his thumb gently rubbing her wrist, Lu Shinian casually said, "Mm, I'll give it to you."
