After finishing a glass of orange juice, Lan Shuang stood up and said, "I'll go upstairs first. You should also go to bed early."

Nian Siyan looked at her, hesitant to speak, but finally said nothing and nodded, "Yeah."

After the others left, Nian Siyan turned on Tess's power supply, pointed to the cup on the table and said, "Wash the cup."

Tess felt aggrieved: "Why would the general turn off my power?"

"Because you're a bad mouth."

Nian Siyan laughed angrily, and still had the nerve to mention it. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been exposed so thoroughly. Lan Shuang's eyes were different when she looked at him just now.

But... Nian Siyan narrowed his eyes. Lan Shuang looked like she knew everything, but didn't say anything else. Does this mean that he still has a place in her heart, at least she doesn't reject him?

Not rejecting each other means that they can have further contact.

Nian Siyan was silent for a moment, and a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes.

Tess looked at him blankly, "Admiral, you seem very happy?"

Nian Siyan stood up, looked down at Tess, and patted her bald head with his hand. "Happy, I'll be happier if you talk less in the future. Good night."

Tess: (t▽t)

He put one hand in his trouser pocket and walked slowly up the stairs holding the handrail with the other.

These days of hiding were not completely useless. At least he had figured out his own thoughts.

Although he was different during the riot period than in his usual state, he also more honestly reflected his inner desires, that is - Lan Shuang.

Why bother asking whether the desire is caused by the influence of soothing hormones, or whether the soothing hormones are stronger because of liking someone?

Instinct and reason are inseparable; humans are complex.

Nian Siyan stood at the stairs on the second floor, looked meaningfully at the door of Lan Shuang's bedroom, moved his lips slightly, and said silently: Good night, dear messenger.

…

What happened that night didn't seem to have any impact on their relationship, but there were still some subtle changes.

For example, Lan Shuang would see Nian Siyan at the dining table every morning when she woke up. They would eat together and then go out separately. When they came back in the evening, they would have dinner together and then go about their own business. At around nine o'clock, Nian Siyan would knock on the door and give Lan Shuang a glass of juice he squeezed himself. He would not say much and would wait for her to finish drinking it before taking the glass and leaving.

They were as familiar as an old couple, yet as distant as strangers. This delicate state lasted until a month later.

…

Lan Shuang has been attending classes very seriously since she enrolled. She is indeed talented in pharmacy. Today the professor prepared an in-class test, and you can only leave after you finish it. Everyone can choose their own partner.

Lan Shuang looked around and gave Hua Ming a look, "Come on, Hua Ming."

Hua Ming readily agreed, and the other students immediately wailed. The first and second pharmacy students had formed teams, and they had no chance. Woo woo woo—

Lan Shuang and Hua Ming have a solid foundation and strong hands-on ability. The professor gave them a test to make a basic potion, which they completed in less than half an hour.

After I handed it in and checked it, the professor said with satisfaction: "You did a great job. You can leave the get out of class now. Have a nice weekend."

Lan Shuang and Hua Ming left the laboratory. Looking at the empty corridor, she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you going to look for your four brothers?"

Hua Ming shook his head: "Our class times don't match. I'll have to wait for them for an hour. I plan to go back to the dormitory first. What about you? Going home?"

Lan Shuang nodded: "Well, we are going the same way, let's go together."

"good."

Hua Ming and Lan Shuang walked out side by side. When they passed the tree-lined avenue, Lan Bing suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"What are you going to do?" Hua Ming subconsciously stood in front of Lan Shuang.

Lan Shuang patted his arm: "It's okay."

Hua Ming looked at her nervously and didn't move.

Lan Bing looked him up and down, then remembered that he had four older brothers. She didn't intend to confront him head-on, so she looked at Lan Shuang and said, "I have something personal to discuss with you. Come with me."

"What private matter?" Lan Shuang looked at her leisurely.

"You'll know if you follow me. It's related to your mother." Lan Bing lifted her hair. "Of course, if you don't care about your mother, just ignore what I said."

Hua Ming felt that there was something fishy going on and stopped Lan Shuang from going, but he didn't know that Lan Shuang had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

"Hua Ming, you go back first. I'm fine."

Lan Shuang and Lan Bing looked at each other for a moment and agreed.

Hua Ming said worriedly: "But she..."

"Don't worry, I will protect myself, trust me?"

Lan Shuang looked at Hua Ming seriously, and Hua Ming's heart moved, and he withdrew his arm that was blocking her.

Lan Bing looked at him with disdain, turned around and said, "Let's go."

Lan Shuang followed her, and watching the two of them walking further and further away, Hua Ming felt a chill all over his body for no reason. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his personal terminal, found Nian Sixian's public email address, took a photo of Lan Bing and Lan Shuang's backs, and then sent it to Nian Sixian's email address.

Nian Siyan was in a meeting. The terminal was set to silent mode, but it would flash. He glanced at it and found it was an email. He didn't take it seriously, but when he looked away, he felt a little uneasy.

He was silent for a moment, then clicked it. After seeing the photo, his expression changed suddenly.

"Hello, respected General Nian. I'm Hua Ming, Lan Shuang's classmate. Lan Bing just said she had something to say to her alone about her mother and asked her to go with her. I'm afraid Lan Bing wants to harm Lan Shuang. I wonder if the General has time to go and see her?"

After reading it, Nian Siyan stood up without any hesitation, grabbed his coat and walked out.

"Hey? Where are you going, Admiral?"

As they walked, Nian Siyan said, "There's something urgent at home. You guys should discuss it first. When you have a result, send me a copy."

They held daily meetings, but they were not important, so it made no difference whether Nian Siyan was there or not, so no one stopped him.

Nian Siyan quickly left the conference room, throwing his coat over his shoulders. He immediately unmuted his terminal and sent a message to the bodyguard he had assigned to Lan Shuang: "Keep a close eye on Lan Bing and see what she wants to do. If she wants to do anything detrimental to Lan Shuang, keep the evidence and don't be polite to her."

The bodyguard replied quickly: "Yes!"
