Chapter 96
Feng Ran couldn't quite understand what the brain's definition of a sense of security was. Anyway, after scolding Shen Shiqian in her morning grumpiness, she fell into a deep sleep again. When she woke up, the Grand Marshal was not there. There was a set of military combat training uniforms next to her, which were obviously not the right size.
Bad sense of humor.
While it was a bit of a morbid pleasure, it also made Feng Ran clearly recall how Shen Shiqian acted when she was asleep. Although they had been separated for quite a while, it shouldn't have been to the point of such unsatisfied desire.
The electronic door opened and closed, and Shen Shiqian, dressed neatly, approached Feng Ran, who was still lying motionless on the bed: "Ranran, are you awake? How are you feeling?"
Feng Ran tilted his head back, seemingly casually provoking, "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
Shen Shiqian deliberately covered the skin around the gland and tapped it a few times with his slender, well-proportioned fingers: "You were too tired and fell asleep, otherwise I could have done it twice more, and I would have bitten it more gently."
They seem to have been provoked and returned.
It was clearly just a gentle trick she used, but it seemed to be labeled as unacceptable. When had Feng Ran ever been humiliated like this? In her anger, she grabbed Shi Qian's shirt with such force that she was about to give him a hard blow on the spot.
The chest area, as expected of the marshal, is the most sensitive spot besides the rectum. It stands upright like a satellite signal needle, and feels so soft in the hand that it's as if it could be boiled into a pot of porridge and drunk.
The pain caused Shen Shiqian's waist to arch gracefully, twisting restlessly. His lean abdomen bulged, pink and white, a pleasing sight to behold—a truly exquisite and alluring sight.
When she left the mark, Feng Ran could even feel her heart pounding in her mouth, connected to her skin. All her irritability and anger were drawn away from her at that moment, and her pheromones attacked fiercely and relentlessly, accompanied by suppressed and high-pitched panting.
The fragments of uncertainty filled the gaps in the puzzle.
Feng Ran hooked his arm around Shen Shiqian's shoulder, and the two of them embraced tightly, their breaths mingling as they tried to draw warmth from each other.
“Shen Shiqian…”
"Ranran, I'm here."
"Say you love me."
"Yes, I love you, I love you so much, I can't live without you."
Feng Ran closed his eyes contentedly, listening intently to his heartbeat.
"Me too."

Since she was already there, Feng Ran still wanted to go to i5962 and the alien birthplace that had already been wiped out once to see if she could find any other experimental materials. As soon as she went, Shen Shiqian wanted to come along. When he learned that Feng Ran was coming, a series of regimental commanders and generals from the military headquarters also said they wanted to come along, which annoyed Feng Ran to no end.
The gossipy old men, oblivious to everything, chatted incessantly about how loving Feng Ran and Shen Shiqian were, which Feng Ran found unbearable. Even in his protective suit, he became red-faced and irritated. In the end, he was finally kicked out by Shen Shiqian and only then did he get some peace and quiet.
Because of the use of inhibitors, there were no signs of alien activity at the several locations that Fengran explored. There were some remains of the decomposed corpses, which exposed crystal fragments that had been broken down by the inhibitors. Fengran picked through them and put them all into sample bags.
The dozen or so cases in the military probably didn't know how dangerous the virus they were infected with was, and since they didn't have to train, they were in a particularly good mood. After being vaccinated, they recovered quickly. Thus, the alien extermination operation in Black Hole No. 5 finally came to an end, and the massive starship fleet set off back to Chilia.
When Feng Ran returned to Kempin, Basil and Fran had already finished the tournament and gone home. Feng Ran was even forced to miss the celebration party that they had agreed on.
When people are focused, they tend to forget many things, which is clearly not a good habit. Feng Ran asked Xing Tong, "Why didn't you remind me?"
Xing Tong defended herself: "Master, that was the critical moment of the second phase of clinical trials. I didn't tell Fran about our experimental progress, for fear that he would be too excited and expose it to Basil."
Feng Ran accepted this reason. After all, even if Xing Tong had reminded her, she couldn't possibly rush back from Laplace. At most, she could make a video call to say hello and offer her blessings. She knew how stubborn and inflexible she could be once she was immersed in her research.
But she still said, "It wouldn't really matter if I told him..."
Xing Tong fell silent, guiltily erasing the colored parts from the data and information from the Basil Competition, and submitted it all to Feng Ran for review.
Feng Ran was initially worried that Luo Le might not be able to find enough team members and would lose before the competition even started. However, her worries were unfounded. During the training camp, Luo Le was a star student favored by all the mentors and everyone wanted to take him under their wing. Some even called their own sons to participate in the competition because they knew his team was short of members. It was Luo Le who was picky and procrastinated until the final submission of the project form before finally selecting the team.
Basil designed a brand-new composite micro-nano manipulation robot. He incorporated the ingenious design of the contactless connector he had previously created into the robot's core, which increased the mechanical precision by one unit, but also increased the difficulty of the control design.
However, the design and research of high-precision operating instruments has always been a cutting-edge field of science and technology. This breakthrough at the unit level was enough to overshadow any minor flaws in difficulty and win the competition. Even though it was an entry made in a short period of time, and the judging only demonstrated the most basic single-cell cutting and injection operations, this did not prevent Basil from winning first place without a doubt.
Of course, the difficulties in the design and operation were later solved by Basil as if by magic. The system that he gave to Feng Ran's medical assistant in his previous life was two versions more advanced than the current one. The operating tip could flexibly control the microampere-level current and guide the ion flow to perform cell suturing.
But all of these things happened after Luo Le took revenge on the Feng family for their feigned death. Otherwise, once the new medical robot was introduced, Luo Le would have been a genius comparable to Feng Ran, receiving countless admirers and respect.
Star Eyes reluctantly acknowledged Basil's small achievement, but it was a different story when that guy kept harassing Fran and suggesting that he wanted to join White Sand. He had even set his sights on Star Eyes' electronic screen, so it had to cooperate with Fran from time to time by threatening him to behave by telling on Feng Ran.
Xing Tong was dissatisfied with this; day by day, it seemed that anyone could order it around.
Fran, on the other hand, was very honest. After the competition, he ran faster than anyone else. He refused Basil's invitation to the victory party and went straight back to the villa to immerse himself in his research on nerve damage.
Out of consideration for his diligence and honesty, Xing Tong gave him the experimental research data that Feng Ran had done after the second phase of clinical trials ended and the vaccine was officially put into use. As a result, after staying up all night to read it, this guy's desire to express himself exploded, and he excitedly sent Feng Ran more than two hundred rainbow-colored messages praising my Lord. Xing Tong immediately blocked them all and then used her assistant robot to give Fran a forced sleep injection.
All of this made Xing Tong feel that there was a 36% chance that entrusting the research to these two guys was a mistake, and it was even hard to say whether Feng Ran would be so angry that he would format its computing program if he knew.
Although Feng Ran felt sorry for not being able to keep the promise, she thought again that she couldn't be entirely blamed. After all, if Luo Le had sent her a message to let her know, she wouldn't have forgotten so completely.
As for why Basil didn't send her a message to invite her, she couldn't quite understand it either. In fact, after the competition ended, Young Master Basil went to intern at his own company, and Feng Ran couldn't see him at school.
It seemed that everyone had some complaints about her focus. When they finally met, Afu would put her hands on Fengran's desk and glare at her resentfully as soon as class was over: "Ranran, where have you been for the past two months? Do you know how badly I've been bullied while you were gone!"
Feng Ran patiently acted as her emotional outlet, responding, "Who's so bold as to bully our Miss Afu?"
Aphrodite gritted her teeth: "Of course it's that bastard Joey, Joshua is a bastard too, but the biggest bastard has to be Basil Sleika!"
Feng Ran was surprised that Young Master Basil's reputation had suddenly plummeted. She gently reassured him, "Alright, tell me what happened."
Afu: "Didn't Basil come back from the competition two weeks ago? Joshua said he was going to throw a party for him and invited a lot of people. I didn't really want to go, even though I'm not that close to them, but Basil said he brought me some things, so I thought I'd just go and go for the sake of it."
"It turned out to be a trap! I thought he brought me some limited-edition items that I had asked him to help me buy at the event, but what I got was some broken pancakes he bought at the port specialty store."
"The robot that Basil entered in the competition was supposed to be an operating robot, but he said it was still a work in progress. So Joshua gave him the bad idea of hiring a bunch of people and having us use our mental powers to operate them one by one to test it for him. If it were just this one thing, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Joshua's brother Orville had to go on a long trip and left a lot of work for the department. He actually brought it to the party and asked us to do it for him!"
"I was wondering the same thing. Joshua had always aspired to join the military, and even threw a tantrum and clashed with his father over it. Why would he suddenly become so kind as to help Orville with council work? It turns out that Joey, that scheming guy, tricked him into thinking he could get him into the Fourth Legion if he handled it well, so he and Rolle came up with this two-birds-with-one-stone scheme. Inviting me to use me is one thing, but I have principles. I'm stuck there, not doing anything is not an option either. Aren't they just stupid? And then Rolle pretended to ask me why I wasn't participating in the discussion, like I was being antisocial. It really infuriated me. I haven't even settled the score with him for the first snow festival gift yet. I really wanted to grab those two lousy cakes he gave me and smash them in his face!"
It seems there was indeed a reason why Basil didn't invite her. The last bit of guilt in her heart vanished because of Afu's anger. Feng Ran pondered, "So Joey really will let Joshua join the Fourth Legion?"
After venting her grievances, Afu finally calmed down a bit: "I don't know about that, but everyone says that the scheming man tricked him. I think it's pretty risky. If it happens again, I will definitely stay away from them."
Feng Ran smiled and said, "A wise decision."
