888 didn't understand Nian Siyan's train of thought, so he could only speculate based on the general behavior of knights. He said uncertainly, "Knights in their susceptible period are extremely possessive, and their territorial behavior is more obvious than usual. So he might have felt that your ward was not his territory, so he brought you back."

Lan Shuang: “…”

Is she some kind of animal? She even brought it back...

Well, Nian Siyan’s behavior does have that meaning.

She cleared away the messy thoughts in her mind and sat up. The man on the sofa seemed to be asleep. She was careful not to make any noise. She looked down and found that her shoes were gone.

Lan Shuang: “…”

She had taken it off when she was in the ward and probably didn't bring it up.

Fortunately, this ward is very clean. A cleaning robot comes to mop the room every once in a while, and the clean light is dazzling.

Lan Shuang walked on it barefoot and walked to Nian Siyan silently like a cat.

The sofa was spacious and soft, and should be more than enough for two people to lie side by side, but Nian Siyan was almost 1.9 meters tall, with his long legs curled up, which made him look a little aggrieved.

Perhaps because the light in the room was too glaring, he crossed his arms over his eyes, revealing only a section of his straight nose and beautifully shaped lips, which were a beautiful light red color.

Lan Shuang looked at him for a moment and nodded. "As expected of the most popular knight in the Federal Empire, this face has the potential. With long legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he should look very good in a military uniform."

888 agreed: "Yes, it's really handsome."

Although Lan Shuang was obsessed with looks, she was not a fangirl. After admiring him enough, she turned around and wanted to pour herself a glass of water. Although she could ask a robot to do it, she was afraid of waking up Nian Siyan, and secondly, she was sore all over from lying down and needed to move around.

She tiptoed to the water dispenser and poured herself a glass of warm water. After drinking one glass, Lan Shuang couldn't help but sigh, then poured herself another glass and drank it in small sips.

However, as soon as she turned around, she met Nian Siyan's eagle-like sharp eyes.

Lan Shuang: “…”

When did you get up? Why was there no sound at all?

Nian Siyan sat on the sofa, legs crossed, slightly sideways, elbows on the sofa, chin supported by his palms, tilted his head to look at her silently, the other hand casually resting on his leg.

His posture was lazy and his breath was calm, without any trace of the madness that characterized the susceptible period.

Lan Shuang was startled but then felt relieved. She raised her water cup and smiled at him, "Would you like some water?"

Nian Siyan's expression was emotionless, and Lan Shuang didn't feel embarrassed. After reading his profile, she knew that this guy was just like that. He wouldn't say a word to strangers even if he was beaten up. This situation was normal. Before...

Thinking of how Nian Siyan touched and hugged her in her ward, well... it must be the fault of her susceptible period.

Lan Shuang was just about to go back to the hospital bed to drink when Nian Siyan suddenly stood up and walked over. A large shadow cast a shadow over her. Before she could react, a big hand reached out and snatched the paper cup from her hand.

Lan Shuang: "What are you doing?"

She turned her head and saw Nian Siyan's Adam's apple sliding as he drank the water in the cup.

Nian Siyan's hands are really big, his fingers are very long and look very strong. The cup that looks normal in Lan Shuang's hand suddenly becomes small in his hand.

She even suspected that one cup was not enough for him.

No, is this the time to think about this?

Lan Shuang came back to her senses, looked at Nian Siyan with a puzzled expression, and kindly reminded him, "That's the cup I used."

Nian Siyan didn't stop and nodded: "Yeah, I know."

There was no reluctance or unnaturalness on his face.

Lan Shuang: "Okay."

She turned around and filled herself with water from a paper cup, then walked to the sofa and sat down. "Are you still thirsty? If not, we can talk."

Nian Siyan lowered his eyes and looked at the cup in his hand. It had the scent of Lan Shuang's pheromones, which made him feel very comfortable.

And Lan Shuang's reaction also made him feel comfortable.

She didn't panic or scream, but accepted the reality calmly. She wasn't afraid of him, and she didn't show him the burning look that made him feel like ants were crawling all over his body.

Nian Siyan sat down opposite her, "What do you want to talk about?"

Lan Shuang took another sip of water and held the cup, saying, "Thank you for bringing me up here. I don't feel any discomfort now. Did the doctor give me an inhibitor later?"

Nian Siyan nodded. "I brought you up here after you fell asleep. The environment here is better and the equipment is complete. I gave you an inhibitor after the doctor came, and I also took one myself. I just gave you the second one. You shouldn't have another estrus period within two days. Once the third shot is taken, you'll be able to get through this estrus period."

"Wait—" Lan Shuang sensed something was wrong with his words and asked hesitantly, "How long have I slept?"

She looked at Nian Siyan and saw that his expression was subtle for a moment. "It wasn't very long."

Lan Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then——"

"About ten hours."

Lan Shuang: “…”

That’s not long yet???

She suddenly turned her head to look out the window, but there was a protective shield outside the hospital and she couldn't see outside the window.

Seeing her intention, Nian Siyan tapped his fingertips on the coffee table, "Louis, open the window."

The smart system in the corner lit up, and two horizontal lines of eyes appeared on the screen. They blinked and said, "Okay."

"Open the window for you."

As the mechanical sound fell, Lan Shuang saw the protective shield outside the window open to both sides, revealing a pitch-black area.

It was dark, and the Lan family didn’t look for her?

Lan Shuang immediately opened her terminal and saw a long list of unread messages, including text, voice and video messages, one after another, all in unread and unanswered status.

Nian Siyan watched her expression change, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Are you worried that your family can't find you?"

"Not really, it's just a little troublesome." Lan Shuang was silent for a moment, her mind working rapidly. According to the original plot, she should have been differentiated after the results were released. In this way, with the formal admission qualifications, she could break up with the Lan family without worry. But now that she was differentiated in advance, all her plans were disrupted.

She couldn't go back now. She couldn't let the Lan family know that she had become an envoy. Before the results came out, everything was uncertain. If Lan Ping sent her away first, she would be in real trouble.

But it is still a bit difficult for her to compete with the Lan family on her own, so she has to find a strong supporter to hide behind.

Lan Shuang's gaze suddenly fell on Nian Siyan, and she asked with a smile, "General Nian, shall we discuss a deal? One that's mutually beneficial and win-win?"

Nian Siyan narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "Tell me."

Lan Shuang leaned back, her posture relaxed. "I'm in a bit of trouble right now, and I need to stay here for two more days. If someone comes to take me by force, I need someone with authority to keep me here."
