After the meeting, at the Su family’s villa in A City,
Su Le’an was counting the supplies in her System Space. Looking at the mountains of supplies filling the space, she was extremely happy when the System suddenly sounded an alarm.
System: “Host, be careful! Lu Chenzhou bought the villa next to yours.”
“What?!”
Su Le’an pretended to casually open the curtains and look at the scenery outside. Sure enough, she saw the man leaning against the balcony next door, raising his glass toward her.
Her phone vibrated.
A message from an unknown number appeared:
[Miss Su, it’s very late. I suggest you close the curtains and go to sleep. —From your new neighbor]
Su Le’an immediately turned off her phone and went back to sleep, thinking that what she could not see could not annoy her.
The next morning, the National Security Bureau sent her a message.
“Hello, ‘Fox.’ Thank you for informing us about the Apocalypse. On behalf of the people of Huaguo, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude.”
Su Le’an smiled and typed back:
“There’s no need to thank me. It’s what I should do.”
Lu Chenzhou actually climbed through the window and entered.
His voice was as cold as ice.
“Su Le’an, or should I call you… Lin Wan? The ‘deceased’ international student with passport number G34892?”
Su Le’an’s pupils contracted sharply.
System, did you change it or not? Why is he still coming after me?!
The System cried helplessly.
“Host! He hacked into R Country’s population records database! It’s not our side. I forgot to change the information there!”
The System weakly added:
“＜(ToT)＞ I’m sorry. I forgot.”
Su Le’an: “Crack ＞(￣▽￣ = ￣︿￣)＜ open.”
“Now.”
Lu Chenzhou slammed a gun onto the table.
“Confess yourself, or I’ll use a bullet to test your healing ability.”
Su Le’an’s inner thoughts:
Is this guy crazy?! Hah, if I didn’t know your true identity, I might actually believe you. Would you really shoot me?
Lu Chenzhou’s finger rested on the trigger, and the muzzle pressed against Su Le’an’s collarbone.
Rain poured outside, and thunder rumbled. The sounds of their breathing were especially clear in the study.
Yet Su Le’an smiled. She even took half a step forward, making the barrel press deeper against her skin.
“What? You don’t dare to shoot?”
Lu Chenzhou’s fingers tightened slightly, his eyes becoming frighteningly dark.
“You think I don’t dare?”
“You certainly dare.”
Su Le’an raised her face. Her eyelashes cast delicate shadows beneath the light.
“But you won’t.”
“Why?”
“Because…”
Su Le’an suddenly raised her hand and lightly placed her fingertips against his wrist.
“Your pulse is faster than mine.”
The air froze for a second.
“And besides…”
Su Le’an suddenly rose onto her tiptoes, her lips almost touching his earlobe.
“Can you?”
Beep!
Lu Chenzhou’s military terminal suddenly sounded an ear-piercing alarm.
【Top Secret Order: Immediately escort the target to Kunlun Base.】
The two of them froze at the same time.
The System guiltily said:
“I got a little nervous watching the show. Ahem… I accidentally sent a fake order.”
Su Le’an: “…?”
Lu Chenzhou narrowed his eyes.
“Your accomplice can even hack into the military’s encrypted channel?”
“It’s not me!”
Su Le’an immediately waved her hands. But just after she denied it, another message appeared on the terminal.
【Supplementary Instruction: It is recommended to use an embracing position for transportation to prevent jolting.】
Su Le’an was completely speechless.
“…System, what the heck are you doing? Are you afraid my identity won’t be exposed?!”
The System pretended to be dead.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! It was the Main System’s order! I’m not taking the blame for this! The signal is bad. I’m logging off!”
The man suddenly chuckled. The gun lowered and pressed against Su Le’an’s waist.
“Looks like your ‘accomplice’ is in quite a hurry.”
After the System’s series of ridiculous maneuvers, the two of them tacitly understood that they both clearly knew each other’s identities.
Su Le’an sat cross-legged inside her System Space, surrounded by supplies she had obtained through her “zero-cost shopping spree” in R Country.
“System, do you think there might be something good in this courier station?”
Su Le’an excitedly opened an exquisitely packaged wooden box.
System: “Host, according to the scan, there is a 99.9% probability that it is…”
Before it could finish, she had already opened it.
“Wow!!”
Su Le’an suddenly raised a bottle of deep-red wine, her eyes lighting up.
“R Country’s royal family exclusive red wine! One bottle of this costs more than a million yuan.”
There was also a gold-stamped emblem on the bottle. It glittered under the light. Su Le’an had only ever seen it on food channels before.
System: “Host, I suggest storing it. After the Apocalypse, you can exchange it for important supplies.”
“Store it?”
Su Le’an had already opened the bottle.
“I’ve never tasted this before. Of course I have to try it. Life is short, so enjoy it while you can!”
System: “…How well can you hold your liquor?”
“Never tried it, but I’ve heard red wine doesn’t get you drunk. It’s only one bottle. How strong could it be?”
Su Le’an casually took a large gulp.
Three glasses later,
Su Le’an’s cheeks were flushed. She hugged the empty bottle and giggled.
“System… why have you turned into three people?”
System: “…”
At midnight, the lights in the villa were still on when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Lu Chenzhou stood outside the door in a perfectly pressed military uniform, holding a classified document.
He had just finished a military meeting and had planned to ask Su Le’an about the Apocalypse. He had rung the doorbell for quite some time, but no one answered.
Now, Su Le’an had finally “heard” it. She staggered to her feet and went to open the door.
A strong smell of alcohol immediately reached Lu Chenzhou.
Su Le’an was barefoot and wearing white bunny pajamas. The collar was slightly askew, and she stared at him with hazy eyes.
“Huh… handsome guy?”
Lu Chenzhou frowned.
“You’ve been drinking?”
“Hehe…”
Su Le’an was extremely bold now. She directly threw herself into Lu Chenzhou’s arms and wrapped her arms around his waist.
“You look… very much like… my future husband!”
The System sounded an urgent alarm.
System: “Host! That’s Lu Chenzhou! Wake up!”
Unfortunately, a drunk person had no rationality left.
Su Le’an felt as if her head were about to explode.
“Shut up!”
The System trembled in fear.
I won’t say anything. If I say anything else, the Host might sell me off.
Su Le’an rose onto her tiptoes and poked his face with her fingertip.
“You really are… so handsome…”
Lu Chenzhou’s gaze darkened. He caught her wandering hand.
“Su Le’an, do you know who I am?”
“Of course I do…” Su Le’an giggled drunkenly. “Colonel… Lu Chenzhou…”
After saying that, she suddenly planted a quick kiss on the corner of Lu Chenzhou’s lips.
Lu Chenzhou’s entire body stiffened.
The System covered its eyes.
This is bad, this is really bad…
Su Le’an only became bolder. She hung her entire body on him and mumbled,
“So hard… How did you train those muscles?”
Lu Chenzhou took a deep breath, picked her up in his arms, and strode toward the sofa.
“Su Le’an, you’d better remember what happened tonight tomorrow.”
The next morning,
Su Le’an woke up with a splitting headache. She discovered that she was lying on the sofa with a blanket decorated with panda patterns covering her.
“Ugh… What did I do yesterday…?”
She rubbed her temples and desperately tried to remember.
The System said ominously:
“Host, you kissed Lu Chenzhou last night and even told me to shut up.”
Su Le’an: “…?!”
The System played the recording.
“You also touched his abs and praised him, saying his abs were ‘so hard.’”
Su Le’an: “…………”
Su Le’an suddenly covered her face and let out a desperate scream.
“System, just kill me!!!”
The System continued twisting the knife.
“Oh, and before he left, he said, ‘See you tomorrow.’ Ah, right. He’s on leave today.”
Su Le’an instantly sprang up from the sofa.
“Quick! Disguise me! I’m running away!”
At 9 a.m., in the villa’s backyard,
Su Le’an wore a baseball cap and sunglasses and wrapped herself up tightly. She sneaked toward the wall, trying to climb over it and escape the place.
System: “Host, I’ve hacked the surveillance camera on the left, but…”
“But what?”
