The passenger starship was very large. Lan Yu walked through the long corridor to the rest area, and entered the spa area under the guidance of the staff who came to greet her.
The spa area is quite beautiful, with small pools of various shapes decorated in the same style, separated by transparent glass to form a separate room.
When there is a pool in use, the transparent glass will become foggy and frosted, making it difficult for passers-by to see inside.
Lan Yu stopped in front of a pond, which was shaped like a small lake, surrounded by green trees and pebbles, and even shrouded in warm sunshine, like a real tropical landscape.
"I'll just stay here," he told the staff.
“So what kind of water quality do you need?”
"What exactly is there?" Lan Yu asked.
The staff introduced: "The water used here is taken from various planets, containing local unique minerals, and can be tailored to the different needs of guests. For example, the Xushan water from Pulexing can quickly relieve muscle soreness--"
"Is there anyone who wants to beautify your skin?" Lan Yu interrupted him.
The staff member glanced at the handsome but cold officer and said, "There are skin beautifying products that make the skin more delicate and smooth, and restore its elasticity and moisture—"
"This one..." Lan Yu decisively chose the skin beautifying one.
After the staff left, he took off his clothes in front of the locker next to him, hung up his military uniform carefully, changed into a bathrobe and walked to the pool.
The pool was soon filled with water, with hot white steam rising from it. He took off his bathrobe and got in the water, half lying on the edge of the pool and closing his eyes comfortably.
In another suite, Lu Rankong was talking with Director Wang.
"In other words, this research result still cannot enable the expansion of stabilizer production?"
Director Wang said a little ashamedly: "Yes, it seems to be like this at present, but if we make further improvements on this basis, maybe there will be new discoveries."
Lu Rankong was silent for a moment and then said, "Since the Longte people are stealing your research data, it proves that the research is going in the right direction. You can continue along the current line of thought."
Director Wang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "That's right. Since he came to steal the data, the data should be very useful. That's why the researchers are more motivated than before."
"Come on..." Lu Rankong stood up and said, "I will also find the Longte starman, so that you can conduct research safely without any worries."
Lu Rankong and Director Wang said goodbye and returned to their rooms, walking along the corridor. Walk out from here and turn left and you will reach the passage to the apartment he and Lan Yu live in.
Just as he turned the corner, he heard voices coming from the side. It must be that the door of the room was not closed properly, and it reached his ears clearly.
"It's really unexpected that I would run into my ex-boyfriend on this starship," said a voice.
Another person's voice sounded: "Have you greeted him?"
"No, no, I was just stunned for a moment and then I reacted immediately. I pretended not to know him and he pretended not to know me."
"This is too dramatic. We're going on vacation and we run into your ex-boyfriend on a starship."
"It wouldn't have been a big deal, but did you know? He actually has someone else by his side. How long have we broken up? He's dating again so soon, and he's even calmer than me..." The voice sounded a little angry at first.
Lu Rankong kept moving forward, thinking that if Lan Yu was not asleep, he would take him for a walk on the ship. It would be uncomfortable to be locked up in the room all the time. The conversation that floated by only flashed through his mind, and he didn't pay any attention to it.
"But Gu Gu, you two broke up peacefully. He said he was busy with work and not stable, so you two didn't see each other for many days."
Gu Gu?
Lu Rankong paused and slowly stopped.
The voice continued, "That's right. He broke up with me before he went on a business trip last time. I thought about it and agreed. But he immediately got a new boyfriend and showed up on the starship with him. Tell me, is he busy with work? It's obvious that he had an affair before, so he found an excuse to break up with me."
Another person sighed and said, "Gu Gu, forget it, just pretend that I have never met this person."
Lu Rankong heard it clearly and realized that the person inside was indeed called Gu Gu.
Gu Gu's voice sounded again: "I just can't bear it. You broke up with me because you had an affair, and when you broke up, you said that you loved me very much and just didn't want to delay you. Bah!"
"Just ignore this kind of person and pretend you've never met him."
Gu Gu said: "I thought so too, and I ran into him in the rest area just now. He was alone at the time, and his new boyfriend was not with him. Guess what he did? He suddenly stopped me and said that he still had me in his heart..."
Lu Rankong took two steps back and looked inside through the open door. Two people were sitting side by side on a sofa opposite. One of them was the omega who had just bumped into Lan Yu in the corridor.
Two omegas were talking, and when they noticed someone at the door, they looked over.
They saw a tall and handsome officer standing there looking at them. When their eyes met, he did not avoid looking away but stared at them for several seconds before turning and leaving.
"Gu Gu, who is this?"
The omega named Gu Gu shook his head blankly, "I don't know him..." Then he said with shining eyes, "Oh, by the way, I just told you that I met two handsome officers, and he was one of them. What do you think? Is he handsome?"
"So handsome, even more handsome than those popular movie stars. And he seemed to be staring at you just now. If he wasn't too rude, I felt like he wanted to come in and chat with you."
"Really? Are you sure he is looking at me?" Gu Gu asked.
"I'm really looking at you. Do you still need to close the door? Julie went to the next room to get something without closing the door."
Gu Gu instantly forgot about the anger of talking about her ex-boyfriend and said excitedly, "Don't turn it off, don't turn it off. Maybe he will find a chance to come over."
The water temperature was just right, hot but not scalding, and it gave off a faint medicinal fragrance. Lan Yu lay drowsy in the small pool, her mind empty and without a thought.
Only after hearing the sounds of people leaving the pools on both sides did he slowly get up and go to the closet to put on his clothes.
Although I don’t know whether the medicinal bath is effective or not, it is still quite comfortable to soak in it. He put on the terminal and checked the time, and found that it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Lu Rankong may not have finished talking with Director Wang yet, as there are no missed calls.
After walking out of the passenger lounge, he put one hand in his trouser pocket and walked back, turning the room card in the other hand. Just after turning left into another passage, he saw a figure flashing in the distance. He was distracted and the room card in his hand fell to the floor.
Lan Yu bent down to pick up the room card, and noticed out of the corner of her eye that the door to her side was wide open. When he picked up the room card and stood up, he turned his head unconsciously and found two omegas sitting on the sofa facing the door, glancing at him stealthily.
He turned around and continued walking forward. At that moment, he saw a figure flash on the wall of the passage in the distance. It seemed that someone quickly retracted his head into the house. The location seemed to be near his room.
Maybe a guest just happened to enter the room, Lan Yuping didn't care, she just held the door card between her fingers and continued walking forward.
When he left, the two omegas in the room began to talk excitedly.
"See? This is the other of the two officers I mentioned. Aren't they both handsome?"
"I thought this trip would be boring, and the people I met were all middle-aged, fat, wealthy businessmen. Fortunately, I came..."
"I don't know if they have an omega, and I don't dare to talk to them. This one looks so cold and the other one looks fierce."
"GuGu, even if he's fierce or cold, so what? Alphas love to act like that. Besides, they're both looking at us, so maybe they have that intention as well."
"Really?" Gu Gu was a little tempted.
"Why not try? The worst that can happen is you'll be rejected. If you don't try, you'll regret it later."
"Okay, let's go give it a try."
Lan Yu was unaware of their conversation. She walked along the corridor and stopped at the door of her room. Before she could put the room card on the identifier, the door opened.
"Are you back?" Lu Rankong said lightly while standing at the door, his face hidden in the shadows and a little unclear.
Lan Yu hummed, walked past him and found that the lights were not on. She asked in surprise: "Why didn't you turn on the lights? Were you sleeping just now?"
Lu Rankong stood at the door without saying a word or moving.
Lan Yu turned on the light, illuminating the room. She turned around and saw Lu Rankong still standing there, so she said, "What are you doing standing there? Come in and close the door."
Lu Rankong slowly closed the door, looked at Lan Yu with a strange look, and asked, "Where did you go just now? Why is your face so red?"
Lan Yu touched her face and asked, "Blushing?"
Lu Rankong didn't say anything, just looked at him silently.
Lan Yu thought about it and suddenly said, "I just went to the spa area to soak for a while. I think it was caused by the hot steam."
"It's a red color that looks like the color created by steam, and also like the kind of red that comes from being excited when seeing an old acquaintance." Lu Rankong said.
Lan Yu's hand stopped on her face, and she asked blankly, "Is it the kind of red you get when you're excited to see an old acquaintance?"
Although he was surprised by Lu Rankong's description, he was an actor after all, and he could instantly understand the state he wanted to express.
"It should be that kind." Lan Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good at describing it."
Lu Rankong was walking into the room, but stopped when he heard the words.
Lan Yu felt that her skin was a little tight after being steamed by the hot air, so she had to apply some facial cream. She walked to the wall and opened her suitcase. While taking out the skin care products inside, she asked, "How was the result of your talk with Director Wang? Did you gain anything?"
Lu Rankong said, "We talked for a long time but didn't get much. We only got a few clues. Of course, it's not as good as what you got today."
Lan Yu was walking to the bathroom with skin care products in her hand. She felt that he seemed a little weird, so she glanced at him.
Lu Rankong met his gaze and smiled slightly, behaving very normally.
Lan Yu walked into the bathroom, took out the face cream, unscrewed the cap, scooped a little with her fingers, and applied it on her face in front of the mirror. Lu Rankong walked to the door and leaned against it, with his arms clasped across his chest, looking at him with heavy eyes.
Lan Yu felt something was wrong. After applying it for a few times, she stopped and turned to look at him. "Did you encounter something unpleasant with Director Wang? Is that problem difficult to solve?"
Lu Rankong did not answer.
"It's okay. No matter how difficult it is, we can take it slowly. We have both captured two Longte people, so we will definitely catch this one too, don't you think?" Lan Yu comforted.
Lu Rankong answered the question irrelevantly: "You still have to put on makeup at night... You are going out, right?" His voice was slow and long.
The tone was like that of a jealous husband looking at his wife who was getting dressed to go out, and the whole room was filled with sourness.
Lan Yu smiled and gently massaged her face while saying, "This is not called makeup, it's just applying some cream, it's basic care. By the way, I bought you a set, too, and I put it on the right side of your suitcase. The weather is getting colder, so you have to pay attention to moisturizing."
Lu Rankong said nothing, still leaning against the door frame, looking at him with a rather cold gaze.
Lan Yu didn't get an answer, so she stopped and looked at him, a little surprised and asked: "Did you hear me? I'm talking to you. What's that expression on your face? You don't even want to put on some face cream? Are you rolling your eyes at me?"
"I heard it..." Lu Rankong replied reluctantly.
Lan Yu scooped a little cream and dotted it on each of his cheeks, saying, "I'll put it on you now."
After he put away the bottles and cans, he saw Lu Rankong still standing there without moving, with a little white spot on each cheek. He raised his hand to spread the face cream on him and said, "Are you not happy when I told you to put on the face cream? Come on, don't stay in the room anymore, let's go out for a walk."
Lan Yu had only been on a military starship, and had never been on this kind of luxurious large passenger ship, so she wanted to go and see it for herself. Besides, he had just taken a medicinal bath, but Lu Rankong had been talking with Director Wang. He must be very tired and could walk around to relax.
Lu Rankong said dimly, "You haven't been in the room for ten minutes and you feel bored."
Lan Yu turned to look at him speechlessly and said, "I'm fine, but you've been in the room the whole time. Aren't you feeling suffocated?"
"I wasn't in the room the whole time. I went to Director Wang's place and came back from him, and I passed through a long corridor in between," said Lu Rankong.
Lan Yu didn't say anything, just looked at him expressionlessly. Lu Ran turned his gaze away and said, "Okay, I'll go out with you."
The two of them left the room, closed the door, and walked down the corridor.
"Where are we going now?" Lu Rankong asked.
Lan Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'm not familiar with starships. If you are familiar with them, can you take me for a walk?"
"Then do you want to visit the control room? The instruments inside are quite complicated, and the data are very interesting to study." Lu Rankong said.
"No, let's look somewhere else."
Lan Yu saw that the door of a room in front of her was wide open, and light from inside the room shone through. Judging from the location, it should be the room of the two omegas at the beginning.
He didn't quite understand why the two men kept the door open, but everyone has their own habits, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
The two omegas were also discussing in a low voice in the room at this time.
"It's been ten minutes, do we still need to keep the door open?"
"Wait two more minutes. If we don't see anyone in two minutes, we'll close the door. If they pass by within two minutes, we'll follow them and find a chance to get their contact information."
"You're right. I know these alphas best. If they are interested in an omega, they will definitely keep dangling in front of you and appear in every corner you can see to attract your attention. If they appear again, we will attack them."
"Okay, if we can capture these two alphas, we will be very proud to take them out. Julie and the others will be envious to death."
When Lu Rankong saw the door, he kept glancing at Lan Yu from the corner of his eyes, and felt jealous.
——When he passed by other rooms, his gaze stayed for no more than half a second, but when he looked at that door, he stayed for at least two seconds or more.
Lan Yu retracted her gaze and began to think about where to go. She said, "How about we go to the rest area? I think it's quite big and seems to have everything."
Lu Rankong said without any fluctuation in his voice: "Okay..."
Passing by the open door, Lan Yu naturally turned her head to look and continued walking forward. In this short moment, Lu Rankong's gaze had quickly moved back and forth between him and Gu Gu several times.
——As soon as the omega saw him, he put down his crossed legs, sat up straight, paid great attention to his posture, and looked a little nervous. When he saw the door from afar, his gaze stayed on it for more than two seconds. Now, when he passed by the door, he only glanced at it quickly, staying for no more than 0.2 seconds.
As if he was hesitant, he only took a brief glance. It was a deliberate avoidance, but he couldn't help but pay attention subconsciously.
It's not normal. It's really not normal.
After Lan Yu and the other person passed by the door, the two omegas looked at each other excitedly and covered their mouths.
"They really just walked past the door of the room. They just returned to the room and passed by our door again."
"They're all looking, all looking inside. Especially the one on the right, he wants to look at you but is avoiding you, his eyes are glancing back and forth, it's too obvious."
"Let's go, follow them. I heard that people from the military are very reserved. We can find an opportunity to approach them actively."
"Okay, let's go, let's go."
The two walked to the rest area. Lan Yu glanced at the introduction at the door and said, "There's a small bar here. How about going in for a drink?"
Lu Rankong suppressed his anger and said in a flat voice: "Okay..."
Lan Yu glanced at him and asked, "Why are you so short? You can ask whatever you want."
"What else can I say except 'yes'?" Lu Rankong said in a cold voice.
Lan Yu stopped and turned to look at him.
Lu Rankong looked at him for a few seconds and said, "I'm thinking..."
"If you have any place you want to go, you can also make suggestions and we can discuss it together," said Lan Yu.
"Then I want to go to the control room and take a look."
"Change to the next suggestion."
"Then let's go to the bar and have a couple of drinks." Lu Rankong said.
