Chapter 195 Lavoisier's "gift" arrived so quickly?
The two slept soundly for a long time.
There is no sunrise or sunset in this space, and the flow of time seems to be different from that outside.
When Gu Baobao slowly woke up, she felt weak all over, as if she had been taken apart and put back together.
As she regained consciousness, she recalled the madness of the previous night, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.
Beside her, Lu Zhanming had already woken up. He was propping his head up and staring at her intently, his eyes sparkling like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish, his face full of satisfaction.
"You're awake, honey?"
He leaned in and gave her a loud kiss on the forehead.
Gu Baobao glared at him, but her eyes were watery and had no power; it looked more like a coquettish scolding.
"We should go out; who knows what time it is outside."
She pushed him.
Lu Zhanming didn't move an inch. Instead, he pulled her closer, holding her even tighter in his arms, his lips brushing against her neck, his breath growing increasingly hot.
"No rush, time moves slower in this space, doesn't it? Let's stay a little longer..."
That deep, chuckled voice was incredibly seductive.
"Lu Zhanming!"
Gu Baobao called him by his full name, trying to regain some authority.
"Please maintain your persona! Aloof! Uninterested in women! Director Lu!"
Lu Zhanming looked up at her eyes and brows, which were feigning anger yet made them even more expressive, and chuckled softly, his chest heaving.
"With a fragrant, soft wife in my arms, I don't get close to other women? That's sick! Aloof? Do I?"
In front of my wife, no persona matters. I'm just an ordinary person, and it's only natural that I cherish my wife!
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Baobao to refute, he pulled the blanket up and buried his head inside, accurately finding that soft spot that haunted his dreams, and began a new round of morning exercises.
While his mouth was busy, his hands were also busy, skillfully lighting fires everywhere.
"Um...you...wasn't yesterday enough...?"
Gu Baobao protested, her breathing unsteady.
"Not enough, not even a lifetime is enough."
Lu Zhanming gave a vague but firm answer, proving with his actions that once a wolf has tasted the meat, it is insatiable.
[Beep—! Warning! Host's vital signs are fluctuating abnormally! Heart rate is too high, adrenaline is continuously surging!]
The system was forced online, broadcasting in a completely emotionless electronic voice.
[Continuous, high-intensity, friendly physical contact was detected. It is recommended that the host plan their research and rest time accordingly.]
This system is about to enter energy-saving shielding mode. Here's a song for you: "May Good People Live in Peace," wishing you... uh, good fortune in battle?
A melodious "Ah~ Ah~ Ah~" tune echoed deep within Gu Baobao's mind, and then Defu decisively logged off, concealing his merits and fame.
Gu Baobao: "..."
She was completely overwhelmed by this bizarre system and the tireless man on top of her, and could only follow his rhythm, once again sinking and floating in the sea of love.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Zhanming finally felt satisfied and refreshed as he hugged his newly cleaned body.
When Gu Baobao returned to her bed in the courtyard house, still feeling drowsy, the sky outside the window was still pitch black. Judging from the position of the stars, it was probably late at night.
In the real world, only a few hours had passed.
Lu Zhanming's eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent.
what does that mean?
This means he and his wife have countless times more time together than others!
You can freely... cough cough, connect with others in this space without neglecting important matters outside!
What an amazing treasure!
He lovingly kissed his wife's face, who was fast asleep from exhaustion in his arms, carefully tucked her in, and then lay down himself, pulling her into his embrace.
Although he was still excited, he felt sorry for his wife and decided to take a temporary break.
However, this blissful and tender newlywed bliss did not last until dawn.
It was around four in the morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten, the coldest and darkest time of day. The courtyard was completely silent, with only the occasional very faint footsteps of the patrolling guards.
sudden,
"Bang! Crash—!!!"
A loud crash, accompanied by the piercing sound of shattering glass, suddenly came from the direction of the backyard!
In the still of the early morning, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
Almost simultaneously, Lu Zhanming sprang from the bed as if electrocuted, his movements so fast that only a blur remained.
He quickly pressed the startled Gu Baobao to the inside of the bed with one hand, using his body to shield her, while his other hand had already reached under the pillow for his service pistol.
With a click, the gun was cocked, and his eyes sharpened like knives in an instant. All warmth and languor vanished, leaving only the extreme calm and vigilance of a warrior.
"Stay put!"
He gave a low shout, his voice tense.
Almost at the same time he stood up, hurried footsteps and low growls came from the back house in the front yard:
"Backyard! Something's happened!"
"Protect the target!"
"Seal off all exits!"
Gu Baobao's heart jumped into her throat. She huddled in the corner of the bed, clutching the blanket tightly.
Are they here yet?
Lavoisier's "gift" arrived so quickly?
Or something else?
Lu Zhanming did not rush out immediately, but listened intently.
Aside from the initial loud bang and the sound of shattering glass, there was no further fighting or shouting from the backyard; only the sounds of guards running and searching quickly.
A few seconds later, a guard's voice rang out in a low voice outside the main room window:
"Report! The window of the research lab in the backyard has been smashed by a rock! No one has been found, and we have expanded the search area! At the scene, we found... a piece of paper tied to the rock!"
Lu Zhanming's eyes sharpened.
Smash the window?
Leave a note?
This is not an attack, it is intimidation, it is provocation!
"Strengthen security and search for any suspicious traces in the vicinity. I'm coming right away."
He gave the order in a deep voice, and they quickly put on their coats and trousers, tucking the gun behind their waists.
He glanced back at Gu Baobao, whose face was pale, then bent down and kissed her forehead forcefully.
"Don't be afraid, stay inside and lock the door. I'll go check on things."
His gaze was steady and powerful, carrying a reassuring strength.
Gu Baobao nodded, trying her best to calm herself down:
Be careful.
Lu Zhanming slipped out the door and closed it behind him. Gu Baobao heard him whisper a few more instructions to the guards outside the door, then his footsteps quickly faded away.
The bedroom fell silent, but the air seemed to freeze, thick with tension and unease.
Gu Baobao sat up, clutching the blanket, her heart pounding. Her first instinct was to retreat into the spatial dimension, but she immediately dismissed the idea.
She can't run away from danger, especially from this kind of provocation directed at her. She has to face it.
Taking a few deep breaths, she groped her way out of bed, put on her coat, and without turning on the light, quietly walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and cautiously looked into the dark courtyard.
The night was as dark as ink, with only the occasional beam of the guards' flashlights flashing by, like sharp swords piercing the darkness.
Lavoisier... is your "wedding gift" smashing a rock in the middle of the night?
No, it can't be that simple.
This is probably just the beginning.
The real gift may be hidden in the deepest darkness before dawn, waiting for the right moment to be opened.
Gu Baobao clenched her fist so tightly that her nails dug into her palm.
Fear still lingers, but a stronger anger and fighting spirit, unwilling to be passively attacked, is quietly rising in my heart.
With Zhan Ming and her family around, she also has her own trump cards.
She would accept any gift, no matter what it was.
And, return it exactly as it was!
