Nian Siyan was so smart that he guessed most of the story with just one sentence. "Is it related to your family?"
Lan Shuang nodded: "I am Lan Ping's illegitimate daughter." After saying that, she paused, a little doubting whether this general who had been in the military and on the battlefield for many years knew Lan Ping.
Then he added, "He is the head of the Lan family."
Nian Siyan put his knuckles to his lips, rubbing them thoughtfully, "The Lan family's illegitimate daughter? What do they want with you?"
"That's a long story," Lan Shuang waved her hand. "And it's not important, so let's not talk about it for now. Let me get this straight. I need you to help me fend off the Lan family when they come looking for me, and don't reveal my evolution into a mega messenger. This must be kept secret for now."
"But I don't want anything. It seems like I'm at a loss if I trade with you." Nian Siyan looked at Lan Shuang.
Even if his gaze was not intentional, it would still be very oppressive, and most people would not be able to stand him staring at them like that.
Lan Shuang looked at him for a moment and then smiled, a sly look in her eyes. "Why not? Isn't your riot period very troublesome? Generally speaking, the stronger your mental strength, the greater the lethality of your riot period. If you can't appease it in time, you'll either be driven mad or commit suicide. There are only two possible outcomes."
She leaned forward slightly, looking directly at Nian Siyan without flinching, "But my soothing element seems to be quite compatible with you. I can soothe you, isn't that what you need?"
Nian Siyan was silent for a moment, then he bent down, imitating her movements, and asked in a low voice, "So, you plan to use yourself in exchange?"
His tone was dangerously calm, all the spikes hidden beneath the calm surface.
Lan Shuang chuckled softly, "You wish! Even if you are Nian Siyan, you can't do this. I can only share some comfort with you. At most, I can let you hug me when you are upset. More than that is impossible. My feelings are not cheap enough to be used as bargaining chips."
Nian Siyan felt a little relieved, as these words sounded more pleasant to the ear.
"How about this, General? Consider it. I'm only staying here for two days, yet you can ask me to help you quell the riots as many times as you want. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who's at a disadvantage."
Lan Shuang extended her hand. "Want to cooperate?"
Nian Siyan's fair hands had a faint pink tinge on the fingertips. He suddenly smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
"It's a pleasure working with you." Lan Shuang's smile deepened, and her two dimples were faintly visible.
Nian Siyan was slightly dazed, inexplicably having a sense of déjà vu.
888 watched this scene and bit his handkerchief excitedly: "Wow, these two people are so good when they take advantage of each other!"
…
After reaching a consensus, Lan Shuang immediately opened her terminal, made a "hush" gesture to Nian Siyan, and then sent a video message back to Lan Ping.
Lan Ping answered the call very quickly, probably because he had been waiting for her. As soon as the screen popped up, Lan Ping's face appeared in mid-air, looking gloomy and very dissatisfied.
Those eyes with faint red bloodshot eyes looked particularly cold. "Where are you? Why didn't you go home after the exam? Who are you with? Why didn't you reply to the message?"
Four fatal questions.
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't see the news before because of an accident."
"Now, go home immediately." Lan Ping didn't ask her what happened, he just wanted her to appear under his nose immediately.
The smile on Lan Shuang's lips faded slightly. "I won't go back, and I can't go back."
"What did you say?" Lan Ping's face turned completely gloomy.
"I fainted from hypoglycemia after the exam. I'm now in the college's small hospital. The doctor said I need to be hospitalized for two days for observation and receive some nutritional supplements."
"Hypoglycemia? Why didn't you tell me before?" Lan Ping didn't quite believe what she said.
Lan Shuang asked innocently, "You didn't ask me, did you?"
Lan Ping: “…”
Without waiting for Lan Ping to say anything else, Lan Shuang said directly: "It's getting late now. The doctor told me to rest. Goodbye, Patriarch."
After saying that, she hung up the video call and hummed softly.
Nian Siyan heard their conversation clearly and gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between the father and daughter.
"By the way, there is something I want to discuss with you." Nian Siyan suddenly spoke.
Lan Shuang was stunned: "What?"
"We have a high compatibility for comfort hormones, so I wanted to ask you if you would like to do a comfort hormone compatibility test. It's fine if you agree. If you don't agree, I won't do it secretly. I'll take your opinion as the final word."
Nian Siyan stood up and said, "You can think about it first. When you have made up your mind, come find me next door."
Lan Shuang watched his back disappear through the doorway and blinked blankly, "Isn't this his room?"
888 said with emotion: "It is obvious that this gentleman has reserved the best single room for you."
Lan Shuang sat on the sofa, silent for a while, took a sip of water, and said, "Actually, he's not bad."
888 nodded vigorously. "Yeah, that's really good. So, host, would you like to consider the side quest I mentioned earlier? Although it's not mandatory, if it's suitable, there's no harm in doing it."
Lan Shuang shook her head decisively: "No."
888 was confused: "Why?"
Lan Shuang spread her hands: "He's not my type. Although he's very handsome, I don't like men who are too cold. I like men who are gentle yet domineering, and can switch seamlessly between being a puppy and a wolf."
888: “…”
Woman, what you see is all an illusion! This guy is so cold, but he is so hot! His heart is boiling with excitement, and now he is just pretending!
But he couldn't say it, couldn't reveal the details, sob sob sob—
Lan Shuang drank the last sip of water and asked the robot for some nutritional supplements. The Empire's nutritional supplements are formulated according to the most precise nutritional formula. They can not only replenish nutrition and energy, but also resist hunger. They are the most commonly eaten food by interstellar people.
As for the delicious fish and meat, they all need to be artificially raised and only the nobles can afford them.
Lan Shuang touched her flat belly and lay on the hospital bed recalling the delicacies on Earth. It turned out that she was eating hot pot and drinking a large glass of wine in her dreams.
When she woke up, she still felt a little dizzy and smelled the strong aroma of wine. Lan Shuang thought she was dreaming for a moment, until she felt a familiar friction on her ankle, and she opened her eyes with a start.
The window had not been closed since it was opened last night. A dim light was coming in from outside. The room was dark and she could not see anything clearly. Lan Shuang saw a dark figure sitting at the end of the bed, and her heart suddenly tightened.
"Nian Siyan?"
She asked uncertainly.
The person at the end of the bed paused for a moment, and after a long while, a low, hoarse voice came out: "Hmm."
Lan Shuang: “…”
Holy crap, you're not sleeping so early in the morning and you're at the end of my bed, touching my feet? Are you crazy?!
This is a hospital. If you are sick, go get treatment quickly!
I'm not sick, I just want to be with my wife.
