The long, powerful snake tail gradually wrapped around the girl's fair legs, seemingly encircling her entirely within its territory.

Su Yan held the girl affectionately, embracing his beloved, clinging to her with reluctance to part.

He was worried about disturbing the girl's sleep, and also worried that she would be frightened if she suddenly saw his true form, so he did not intend to wake her up.

The advanced mental hypnosis slowly lulled Jiang Zheyu into a deep sleep.

Slowly, onto the large, white, and soft bed.

The girl lay on the large bed wearing a white nightgown. A large, black snake was completely coiled around her body, from her ankles to her calves to her waist and neck, wrapping around her again and again, as if it were constricting its prey. However, the snake was tightly coiled but did not strangle the unconscious girl. Instead, it was like a large snake guarding its most precious treasure.

The black, luminous snake's body contrasted sharply with the girl's fair skin, yet their bodies were also incredibly intertwined.

Sunlight filtered through the flowing curtains and fell onto the ground, like tiny bubbles of light and shadow.

Early in the morning, Jiang Zheyu's personal computer alarm clock rang, and she slowly woke up. Su Yan was no longer beside her; he must have already gone to the military intelligence office.

She felt like she was asleep, but also like she wasn't.

Otherwise, why would she feel weak and exhausted, and her head seem a little dizzy?

Jiang Zheyu suspected that Su Yan might have done something to her in the middle of the night, but there were no red marks on her body, so he probably hadn't done anything.

She simply assumed that she hadn't slept well the night before.

As Jiang Zheyu brushed her teeth and washed her face, she wondered what she was going to do by setting her alarm clock so early today.

After she finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, and put on a tight-fitting pure white top and loose pink trousers, she belatedly realized that she was going to visit her older brothers today.

I went to see Brother Bang Er in the morning and Brother Bang Yi in the afternoon.

She looked at her casual clothes and considered whether to change into a dress, but then she remembered that she wasn't going on a date and there was no need to dress up so carefully.

It's only 8:15 now, and Jiang Zheyu plans to go downstairs to drink some nutritional supplements before setting off.

But her gaze inadvertently swept across the window and she noticed a particularly bright red color outside the villa. Thinking she was seeing things, she looked again and saw a conspicuous red hovercar parked outside the villa.

A tall, slender man with a superior build was standing next to the car door.

The man was also dressed in a bright pink suit, neat, well-fitting, and appropriate.

He seemed to sense something and looked up at the window facing Jiang Zheyu.

A beautiful face immediately caught Jiang Zheyu's eye. Her hair was black, her eyes were red, and her skin was white. The colors were vibrant and contrasting, creating a striking visual impact.

When Ze Xun saw the girl's fair and delicate face through the window, he was slightly taken aback. Although there were photos of Miss Jiang circulating online, he did not believe them.

He only believed what he saw with his own eyes. Although he had never met Miss Jiang before, he was now certain that the girl by the window was Miss Jiang.

Ze Xun smiled faintly, his peach blossom eyes slowly softening with emotion. He raised his hand to greet Jiang Zheyu silently, tilting his head slightly. His short, wispy hair brushed against his eyebrows, and his lips seemed to say, "Good morning."

This man is so handsome.

This was Jiang Zheyu's first impression of Zexun.

Red can look tacky if not worn properly, but that beautiful and sophisticated face completely overshadowed any tackyness, making the red outfit look elegant instead.

Jiang Zheyu nodded slightly to him, then went downstairs from the room.

She grabbed a nutritional supplement casually. It was supposed to be a museum at nine o'clock, so why was she at eight-fifteen?

It's also possible that it wasn't 8:15, but earlier.

Because she didn't notice that person until 8:15.

Jiang Zheyu walked out of the villa and still asked, "Where is the Chief Justice?"

"Call me Ah Xun or Ah Ze, it's fine." Ze Xun smiled slightly, his peach blossom eyes always giving the impression of deep affection for one person. "Outside of work, you don't need to call me Judge. Besides, I'm just a junior judge, not a senior judge."

He opened the car door and invited Jiang Zheyu into the hovercar: "Miss Jiang, please get in."

Jiang Zheyu sat down inside.

"Mr. Ze, when did you arrive? Did you wait long?" Jiang Zheyu remembered correctly that the Imperial Museum didn't open until nine o'clock. He wondered if he had been waiting for a long time.

She didn't call them A-Ze or A-Xun directly, mainly because she felt they weren't that close yet, and also because she was a bit slow to warm up to people.

“Eight o’clock.” Ze Xun sat opposite her, her beautiful eyebrows curving slightly. “Soon. I enjoy the process of waiting for surprises.”

Jiang Zheyu paused for a moment. According to the plan, she originally intended to leave at 8:45. If she hadn't discovered him, he would have really been waiting for her outside for more than half an hour.

"Miss Jiang, here's a forest cake." Ze Xun took a beautifully packaged bag from the seat next to him and handed it to Jiang Zheyu. "Please have a taste. I've been waiting in line for a long time."

When Jiang Zheyu saw the cake, she knew that Zexun must have gotten up earlier than she had imagined, since there was a long queue for this cake.

She had already taken the supplements and didn't actually need them anymore, but when she met Zexun's bright, sincere, and expectant red eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

With the same red eyes, Su Yan's emotions were restrained, calm, and gentle, yet he chose to express a full and passionate emotion that was as dazzling as fireworks blooming in his eyes.

Jiang Zheyu still obliged and ate the small cake.

"Is it good?" Ze Xun sat opposite her, resting his chin on his hands as he looked at her.

"Huh? You've never eaten this before?" Jiang Zheyu looked at him in surprise.

“I’d heard of it before, but the lines were always too long, so I never went to buy it.” Ze Xun stroked his chin and looked at her with a slight smile. “This is the first time I’ve gotten up this early to queue up to buy it.”

"Thank you." Jiang Zheyu didn't know what else to say besides thanking her.

"If eating this cake will give you a good mood for the day, then I'll accept this thank you," Ze Xun said with a slight smile.

Jiang Zheyu always felt that the other party had flirted with many females.

However, the cake did taste better.

It seems the boss has improved his cake-making skills again.

"Mmm, it's delicious." Jiang Zheyu smiled slightly.

The Imperial Capital Museum is a magnificent circular building with a strong sense of technology. It is extremely large, and several objects are projected onto the outside of the building in turn. The projections are also three-dimensional and have a real feel, making them look particularly realistic.

Among the items that were being placed in rotation, there was a silver, battle-damaged mech kneeling on one knee with its head bowed.

“That was Commander Aroma’s Fright Wing mech from fifty years ago.” Ze Xun noticed her gaze and explained to her, “Fifty years ago, there was a Zerg uprising. All the planets were invaded by the Zerg. The Zerg queen had to be killed to stop the Zerg uprising. At that time, the entire Fright Wing Legion fought back the Zerg, went deep into the Zerg nest to kill the Zerg queen, and the entire legion was wiped out.”
