Lu Xinghe's sudden fainting was something Luo Ning hadn't expected. He had rarely been sick before, and his body seemed as strong as iron, but now he had collapsed in front of her.

Could it be that he's planning something again? She reached out to push him, only to find that his body was burning hot, his face was pale, his eyes were bluish, and his once smooth chin was now covered in bluish stubble.

He really was sick. She was at a loss and supported him, shaking his body, but he didn't seem to wake up.

The footsteps in the basement had also faded away, indicating that the person had left. She wanted to go back, but seeing Lu Xinghe lying on the ground, she decided to put him in a conspicuous place so that someone would find him, otherwise he would freeze to death here in the freezing cold.

But just as she was about to do so, he struggled to open his eyes, slowly sat up, and after a while said to her, "I'm a little weak right now, can I come sit at your place for a while?"

Luo Ning hesitated.

But he was indeed sick, so she helped him back to the basement. There was only a bed she had picked up there. Normally she didn't need to turn on the lights, but Lu Xinghe couldn't see them. He turned on the communicator, and a soft light suddenly filled the dark room. Although it was faint, it was enough to see their faces clearly.

"Why did you lie to me?" he asked, placing a pen and paper in front of her.

Seeing how well-prepared he was, was he absolutely certain he would find her?

He is now questioning her about why she lied to him, but wasn't the sequence of events that he lied to her first?

“Go back and rest. Don’t waste your time here. I will never go back to the lab. For the sake of the help I gave you before, let’s part ways amicably. We agreed that when we met again, we would go our separate ways.” she wrote.

"Everyone goes their own way, there are many paths to take," it turns out that this really was what she said.

He coughed a few times, then swayed precariously towards her, fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Luo Ning stood up and moved away, while he fell onto her bed. She took the communicator and placed it in his hand, indicating that he should contact someone to rescue him.

But in the short time it took her to turn her head to get the communicator, he fell into a deep sleep. She couldn't call for help, and she was afraid something might happen to him if she left, so she could only sit by his side.

When An Xiaoru saw Luo Ning helping her uncle inside from a distance, she hesitated whether to go over and take a look.

Suddenly, a scene flashed through her mind: a beautiful woman lying in bed, and her uncle preparing to steal a kiss from her. He cautiously approached, and just as his lips were about to touch the beautiful woman's lips, someone pushed him away.

And that person seemed to be herself.

She found it strange that such random images were flashing by.

"An Xiaoruo, what are you doing here?" Song Pei suddenly appeared behind her.

She was startled: "Instructor Song, you... what are you doing here?"

"Routine patrol, what about you?"

"Me...me too." An Xiaoruo looked nervously towards the basement not far away. She had to think of a way to take Song Pei away, otherwise things would be troublesome.

“Okay, let’s go together,” Song Pei said, and walked forward.

An Xiaoruo gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and reached out to grab his arm, but she didn't realize she had grabbed his hand: "Instructor Song, I have something to tell you."

Song Pei paused, looking at the hand she was holding tightly, his voice a little unnatural: "What do you want to say?"

"I...I want to talk to you, Instructor, about our marriage." She went all out, only to realize that she wasn't grabbing his arm but his hand, and she was holding on tightly.

Oh no, she originally wanted to tell him that they weren't a good match and ask him to reconsider his choice of wife, but now it seems a bit complicated.

“Okay, let’s find a sheltered place to sit down and talk.” Song Pei agreed, noticing that her hands were cold.

The marriage department has sent out a notice today. They will get married next month after her birthday. There should also be some interaction between them beyond that of instructors and trainees.

An Xiaoruo followed Song Pei away, secretly glancing at the basement behind her. "Uncle, this is something I sacrificed myself for. You must cherish this night."

Lu Xinghe had another dream. This time, he dreamt of a beast tide, an endless stream of alien creatures rushing towards him. He ran with all his might, but the beast tide still surged toward him. Just when he was about to despair, a hand firmly grabbed him and lifted him into the air.

He flew very, very high, and could see the vastness of the earth and the magnificence of the mountains and rivers. And what carried him was a snow-white rabbit. Its long ears were blown by the wind like two swaying flowers, and its paws were furry and incredibly soft, making him unable to resist the urge to knead them.

Suddenly, the rabbit turned its head, its blue eyes filled with tears, and slapped him hard across the face.

He woke up with a start, his face really hurting. Luo Ning was looking at him with a hint of anger, her face incredibly red, while his hand was on her waist, holding the soft spot at her tailbone.

He was stunned for a moment, not knowing how he had managed to hold her in his arms or how he had managed to grasp her tail.

Luo Ning's heart was pounding. She didn't feel anything when she touched her own tail, but as soon as he touched it, she was overwhelmed with excitement.

She had just seen him struggling with a nightmare, and kindly went over to comfort him. Who knew that this ingrate would hug her tightly, his hands wandering around restlessly, and finally grabbing her tail and refusing to let go, even kneading it.

So she slapped him.

After waking up, Lu Xinghe immediately let go of her hand: "Sorry, I was still half asleep."

But the soft texture lingers, like a sweet candy.

Luo Ning's face was still red, and she bit her lip, her breathing unable to catch its breath for a long time.

The time on the communicator was 5 a.m., and the base was about to wake up.

"Have we experienced beast tides before?" he asked.

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment. Didn't he have his memories?

She nodded, then wrote: "Don't you remember?"

"I only remember some things. I injured my head, so I forgot some things." He rubbed his forehead.

Luo Ning heard An Xiaoruo say the same thing; both of them had head injuries.

"So we've lived in basements and fought on the grass," he asked again.

Luo Ning nodded again.

Lu Xinghe originally thought those were all dreams, but now it seems they were all real. So those dreams of him and her indulging in each other on the bed in the basement, and of him pinning her against the flowering tree and taking advantage of her, all really happened.

It turns out that it wasn't she who made him submit, but rather he who was taking advantage of her. No wonder she was now somewhat averse to his advances.

He slightly opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of hot air rising from his waist and abdomen. After calming down for a while, he said, "Go back to the old house. It's too simple here, and new people will be assigned to live here soon. It's not safe for you to stay here."

Luo Ning did not answer him immediately. In fact, she knew that as long as she was still in the base, he would definitely find her. Moreover, it would be better if he found her first. If it were someone else, the outcome would definitely be different.

But the man in front of me has really changed. He is no longer the aloof but obedient boy he used to be. Now he is too aggressive and controlling.

He knew her worries, so he said, "You can rest assured that what happened just now will never happen again. Since you saved me and Xiaoruo, consider it as repaying your kindness."
