Su Ruan's grip around Lu Shinian's waist tightened slightly.
Her body arched slightly, drawing closer to him.
"Brother Lu, you've been acting strangely lately."
She spoke softly, her eyes staring up at the white ceiling, lost in thought.
"No." Lu Shinian's voice, deep and hoarse, murmured in Su Ruan's ear, "It's just that you've been busy with Lei Lanhu's affairs, and we haven't spent time together in a while."
"I miss you."
His straightforward and passionate declaration of affection made Su Ruan feel even more intrigued.
The Lu Shinian of the past would never speak like this.
"There's now a solution for complete Beastification. Aren't you happy about it?" she asked softly.
This issue, which had troubled the Federation for so many years, was finally resolved. Wasn't he happy?
"Happy." Lu Shinian slowly lifted his head, bracing one hand beside Su Ruan. His dark pupils reflected only her figure, deep and without a hint of light.
"I'm very happy."
