Chapter 12 The "Strange" Massage Bed in the Pool
The message notification from the Rose Society not only had a large interface, but the damn font was also huge.
Ordinary message alerts can only be seen clearly at close range.
But just now, in order to slip away and to make her lame excuse that "the gas wasn't turned off at home" more believable, Ning Shuyin switched the notification mode of her personal computer to "public broadcast" mode—just so that everyone in the room could hear the alarm urging her to go home and check the gas stove.
As a result, the false alarm turned into a "boomerang".
Ning Shuyin immediately witnessed what it meant to "dump myself."
The Rose Club's huge announcement was clearly visible to everyone in the room.
It was practically a public execution.
Situ Linchen's face turned sinister.
His gaze fell directly on the words "next one" and "new date".
However, this is not the end.
As if the scene wasn't chaotic enough, the next second...
"Ding-dong!"
Another notification sound rang out.
This time, it was Dr. Loran's optical computer.
He frowned and glanced at his wrist.
Because they were standing very close, Situ Linchen also happened to catch a glimpse. A notification popped up on Loran's personal terminal, also from the "Rose Society":
[Friendly reminder: A date has been detected within 10 meters of you. Seize the opportunity!]
[Friendly reminder: You can now send a date invitation to Ms. Ning Shuyin. Would you like to do so now?]
Situ Linchen's aura suddenly dropped, and the violent energy that had just been suppressed by the medicine showed signs of getting out of control again.
Ning Shuyin felt a chill on the back of her neck.
For the first time, a ripple appeared on Loran's icy face.
He seemed surprised to find that the person he had casually arranged to meet in order to "improve efficiency" was right in front of him—someone who had just finished a date with Situ Linchen.
After a brief silence, Loran clicked "Yes" on the system notification.
Almost at the same time, Ning Shuyin's poor personal computer started ringing again.
She was frantically switching from "public broadcast" mode back to "privacy" mode when a sudden new notification interrupted her.
The date invitation from Lorraine was projected onto everyone's screens once again, on a scale comparable to a giant movie screen:
The date invitation has been confirmed. Mr. Lorran looks forward to meeting you.
"Ning Shuyin, is that you?" Luo Lan finally looked up at her seriously, her voice cold.
Before Ning Shuyin could answer, another male voice rang out.
"Ning, Shu, Yin," Situ Linchen said, enunciating each word clearly and coldly, "Is this what you call admiring me?"
[Warning! Target Situ Linchen's favorability rating has dropped drastically!]
[Current Affection Level: -90 (Hate for Betrayal)]
[Target person Loran's favorability has decreased.]
Current favorability rating: -50 (Dangerous)
On one side is Situ Linchen, whose superpowers are about to go berserk and whose eyes are intimidating; on the other side is the doctor Luo Lan, whose face is as cold as ice.
Ning Shuyin, huddled in the corner, felt like prey about to be torn apart by two apex predators.
"I..." Ning Shuyin opened her mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
It's not that I don't know how to explain it.
Rather, it was her survival instinct that prevented her from complaining.
Rose Club's user agreement clearly states that it supports a 'one-to-many' dating matching mode.
This is essentially an official action.
Loran completely ignored Situ Linchen's displeasure.
"Come with me, Miss Ning. Our date is about to begin."
Ning Shuyin was taken aback.
Shall we go on a date now?
“My time is precious.” Seeing that she didn’t react, Lorraine frowned slightly. “I don’t like repeating myself.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Linchen let out a cold laugh.
"Lorraine, you really are indiscriminate when it comes to food."
His gaze swept between Loran and Ning Shuyin: "I have to remind you, don't waste your energy."
"Oh? What do you mean?" A hint of inquiry flashed in Loran's deep red eyes.
Situ Linchen leaned back on the sofa.
At this moment, he had regained his arrogant demeanor, and all the energy around him had been completely withdrawn.
He said slowly and deliberately, "This Miss Ning doesn't have any special abilities. She's just an ordinary person through and through."
These words made Loran frown.
His gaze returned to Ning Shuyin.
Ning Shuyin felt nervous under their gaze.
I'm afraid that Loran will feel deceived like Situ Linchen did, and then in a fit of anger, turn her into a specimen.
However, a few seconds later, Loran simply said, "I will make my own judgment."
After speaking, he stopped looking at Situ Linchen and instead looked at Ning Shuyin:
"Let's go."
This time, Ning Shuyin did not hesitate at all.
Compared to staying here and facing a marshal with a -90 favorability rating, going with an aloof doctor with a -50 favorability rating is less dangerous.
The two walked through a long corridor and arrived at the dock.
A sleek, silver-white scientific research aircraft hovered silently there.
The hatch opened, and Loran went in first.
Ning Shuyin had no choice but to follow and step inside.
The spacecraft smoothly detached from the docking port and entered the deep and boundless universe.
The Alice Space Station outside the window rotated slowly, like the most dazzling jewel in the vast space.
Ning Shuyin sat awkwardly in the passenger seat of the command cabin.
The interior of the aircraft features a minimalist, cool-toned style, much like its owner.
Loran turned and walked towards her only after activating the autopilot mode.
He took off his spotless white suit, revealing a gorgeous French shirt underneath.
The deep red eyes, under the cabin lighting, didn't seem so frightening.
"You seemed to have been frightened by Situ Linchen just now; your heart rate was a little high."
Loran took a stemmed glass from the multi-functional bar, poured half a glass of a drink that looked like liquid amber, and handed it to her.
"Drinking some of this can help calm your emotions."
Ning Shuyin hesitated before taking the cup, feeling a slightly cool sensation on the cup.
She took a small sip.
A sweet, fruity aroma spread across her tongue, not only filling her up but also miraculously dispelling the tension in her body.
“Much better,” she replied.
From the moment we left until now, Loran has behaved quite gentlemanly.
The novel's author portrays this doctor as cunning, lustful, utterly disrespectful of life, and possessing some unusual fetishes.
Ning Shuyin only hoped that the author was exaggerating.
This doctor seems quite "ascetic" now.
Loran sat down opposite her and lightly swiped her finger across the control panel.
"The aircraft is currently in stealth mode and its location is untraceable, so Situ Linchen can't find you. According to the Rose Society's procedure, we should start our date."
As soon as he finished speaking, the four metal walls of the command module, the ceiling, and even the floor vanished instantly, as if they had never existed.
A holographic environment simulation that goes beyond 6D takes over all senses.
In an instant, they found themselves in a quiet, primeval forest.
Ancient giant trees stand tall, their gnarled roots deeply embedded in the soft, moist moss at your feet.
A few minutes later, the scene changed again.
The primeval forest has been transformed into a magnificent, starry-sky restaurant.
After that, they arrived at a viewpoint overlooking the magnificent nebula.
The scene in front of me keeps changing.
Ning Shuyin felt a wetness at her feet and realized she was sitting in a spa pool.
The pool floated aimlessly in the sea of stars, surrounded by rotating spiral nebulae on all sides.
An alluring fragrance wafted around me.
The smell made people blush and their hearts race.
She sensed something was wrong.
Surprisingly, some strangely designed lounge chairs were placed in the shimmering water of the pool.
Abstinence my foot!
Ning Shuyin's pure and innocent heart couldn't quite handle it.
“I’m not interested in traditional dating methods,” Loran’s voice rang out again.
