Chapter 77
Feng Ran flirted and then ran away. Anyway, he had fed him enough pheromones. It was only a day of abstinence. Even someone as tough as Shen Shiqian couldn't not do this. Rather, this should be his true label.
That evening, Xing Tong mentioned to her that Fran wanted body data. Feng Ran didn't think much of it and sent him the data on the drugs she had experimented with before. She then prepared to go back to her room to work on the test paper that Xi Sen had sent her.
But when he reached the door of the room, he stopped, turned his head to look at the room on his left, and inexplicably pressed the button to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Shen Shiqian looked up from his desk and stared at her intently: "What's wrong, Ranran?"
After washing up, Shen Shiqian changed into a light gray robe-like nightgown. His soft hair hung down, and under the warm light, he looked exceptionally gentle, his eyes seemingly filled with light.
Feng Ran walked up to the table with a clatter: "I have something to tell you."
Shen Shiqian: "Okay."
She was a little hesitant, as bringing up such matters when she wasn't fixated on them always felt like she was trying to take credit: "What are your thoughts on 4601? Actually, I don't really care. Let it go until the very last moment, the Empire will always find a way to resolve it. It's just that the commotion is a bit annoying."
Shen Shiqian shook his head: "But that's when you're around. In fact, when it really shifted, none of us were able to do anything about it."
Feng Ran thought about it carefully for a moment before realizing he hadn't told him the truth about the explosion. So he put his hands on the table and practically glared at him, saying:
"Let me repeat myself, the most accurate, official time for 4601's shift is eight years from now, that is, Star Calendar 264. My initial plan was to disrupt its mass system and prevent it from shifting due to its gravitational field. However, the antimatter explosion factory was disrupted by you, so the only way to change its shift direction is to build planetary engines. But this plan is very time-consuming and laborious. According to my calculations, it may not be completed until 269. But by then, the planet will have already begun to shift. Its shift after completing energy conversion will be very obvious. Anyone in the Empire who isn't blind can observe its shift with an electronic telescope." The trajectory itself would naturally derail and collide within fifteen years, but with my base and engine on 4601, the buffer time would be considerable. It's even possible that after shifting a third of the way, my plan would be activated and change course to another location. Even if the Empire were to completely disregard logic and recklessly fire two planet-destroying cannons, the angle of deviation would be enough to avert disaster. Even if I didn't do it, someone else would, just with different results. I don't have your righteous indignation and penchant for taking on huge responsibilities unnecessarily. And you don't need to blindly worship me, understand?
Shen Shiqian was intimidated by her imposing manner and nodded.
"If what you said is true, then why was the deviation in the previous life wrong?"
Feng Ran kicked his desk, flipped over from the front to the back, and sat down in front of Shen Shiqian. He reached out and pinched Shen Shiqian's face, saying unhappily, "Don't question me!"
With his face pinched into a bun shape, Shen Shiqian nodded with a very serious expression, then quickly frowned and pretended to be innocent: "Teacher Ranran, I have a question. Can you answer it?"
Feng Ran continued to pinch him: "Ha! Don't try to get close to me, call me Professor Feng!"
Shen Shiqian: "Howling, his face is thin and pale."
Feng Ran was overjoyed and pounced off the table to hug him, whispering in his ear, "Don't blame me for the mistake in the last life; you guys were just too mean."
She found a comfortable spot in Shen Shiqian's arms and leaned against him completely: "I forget exactly when, but it was after I dropped out of the military academy, at the Sleica's house, that I became very ill and almost thought I was going to die. It was then that Luo Le let me go and sent me onto a starship to a recuperative planet while I was unconscious. On the way, I learned about Feng Xiqiao's death and the fire at the Sleica's house. I felt like my life suddenly became meaningless."
“I feel I owe him so much, so much. In the end, the only thing I can think of to do for him is Project 4601. He lost so much because of me. I thought I could at least help him preserve his hometown and the memories there. But even this wish was very difficult for me to fulfill. I didn’t even get to see Project 4601 deviate with my own eyes, so I could only leave everything to my assistant.”
“I have no home to return to. In the end, I can only go back to the sanatorium that Basil prepared for me. Before that, I watched the promotional video many times. There are luxurious private sanatoriums, large lavender fields, farms, and windmills. I like that place very much. According to my will, I should be buried there.”
"But that's not actually the case. So the program I set went berserk and out of control. All the fear and despair you felt was its revenge. It accelerated the deviation, hacked into the Academy of Sciences' monitoring system, and even the video you mentioned was created by it. But thinking about it carefully, if I were driven crazy, I probably would have done the same, since it learned all its temper from me. But at least it had a core program to restrain it, which ultimately caused 4601 to explode. If it were me, I might have really gone down with you all."
Shen Shiqian didn't speak, but just kept rubbing his head against Feng Ran's neck.
Feng Ran felt itchy from being rubbed and her breath was hot. Thinking he was smelling her pheromones, she pushed him away and said, "Hey, do you remember you're supposed to abstain from sex until tomorrow?"
Until the heat materialized and dripped onto my shoulders.
She panicked immediately.
Was she being particularly sarcastic? Which of her words struck a nerve? Is it normal for Shen Shiqian to have become like this? Why didn't he just hold back his tears and cry in bed?
"sorry……"
He spoke so sincerely and pitifully that Feng Ran's nose tingled with tears. But she didn't like these apologies. Frustrated, she hugged Shen Shiqian, clenching her fists as if to hit him, but instead gave him a light pat on the back: "You're not in line to apologize."
She realized her tone was too harsh after she finished speaking, so she tried to change the subject: "I came to discuss what to do after this plan, not to comfort you when you cry. If you continue like this, we can postpone the abstinence until next week."
With a slightly nasal tone, Shen Shiqian, who was resting his head on her shoulder, said, "Then I'll be very troubled."
Feng Ran was furious at his frankness in this regard. Why was it that Shen Shiqian got to enjoy himself while she was the one being criticized for indulging in lust? It was really infuriating. In the end, was his fiery personality something she had trained him for or something he was born with?
"Tsk, don't you feel guilty about dating underage girls? If my pheromones weren't still fully developed, you'd probably be pregnant with triplets by now."
Before Shen Shiqian could reply, Feng Ran continued to tease him: "Oh, actually you're a complete pervert. You just like this kind of extreme and immoral stuff. Even though you say you don't want to, you'll actually wear any sexy lingerie I buy for you, right? And the thought of wearing it for me gets you all excited. You're always scheming how to seduce me..."
Feng Ran nudged him with her knee: "I haven't even done anything yet and you're already secretly crossing your legs. What else is that but seduction?"
Shen Shiqian was so embarrassed he could hardly lift his head: "Stop talking."
Feng Ran chuckled: "What are you going to do, Shen Shiqian? You're doomed. Although you keep saying nice things like longing and yearning, you're actually secretly lusting after me, aren't you? Don't you know you're so perverted that you're afraid I won't like you, so you're trying so hard to please me?"
Shen Shiqian didn't understand: "Where did you learn all these things?"
Feng Ran thought of Afu and deliberately kept her in suspense: "Oh, you'll find out soon enough."
For a moment, she was thinking of having Afu change her persona. She thought that dirty talk and flirting were quite fun, but the fact that she actually absorbed those rubbish ideas was terrifying.
After teasing him, Feng Ran stood up happily: "Well, I've already explained everything to you, so there's no rush. Of course, if you really admire me and insist on seeing me resolve this matter, then I can handle it, but at least show some sincerity and make some gestures, right?"
Shen Shiqian said seriously, "It's not like that, Ranran. I won't use my position to ask you to do these things. If you want to use it to make up for what you owe, then make up for what you owe. If you don't want to, that's fine too. You've already saved this world once, so this time I hope you can live happily for yourself. According to you, since the deviation of 4601 doesn't cause too much of a problem except for temporary panic, then letting it develop and letting the Empire prove itself is not a bad thing. You used to hate it so much, it also needs a chance to change, doesn't it?"
The tears that Feng Ran had just held back almost burst forth at this moment. His softest heart was gently touched through layers of hard shell, and his soul swayed as a result.
She was being manipulated too much by Shen Shiqian.
Feng Ran sniffed, pretending that he still had a fever, and sullenly threatened him: "You're dead when my pheromones mature."
Shen Shiqian didn't mind her quirky personality, and even leaned forward slightly: "I'll be prepared before then."
It couldn't burn, it couldn't burn, the wind ignited it and it went silent.
Because of this little incident, Feng Ran dreamed of the scene when her pheromones matured that very night.
The process was so complete and authoritative that when Feng Ran woke up, the image of the watermelon belly and the white veil still lingered in her mind. She was still half asleep and felt that the room was a bit cold. Xing Tong reminded her that her pheromones were a bit agitated. She was wondering why she couldn't smell it when she touched her nose and found a handful of almost dried blood.
I got up listlessly this morning and took a shower. Luckily it was Saturday, otherwise things would have been much worse.
While taking a bath, I couldn't help but think back to it, wondering if I would be considered a pervert if I made such a request to Afu.
