"There’s nothing to be embarrassed about; the champion must be from our Military Academy."
Both had graduated from the First Military Command College, and their stance would not change.
"You go tell Teacher Joter that I agree with his proposal. I’ll handle the early stage issues. As for the later stage, whether Lin Fu will be sent to the Military Court depends on their competition results. If the results are poor, if Lin Fu performs poorly, even I can only guarantee she won’t die."
"When can the Lady return to school?" Only Fu Xing and Chief Physician Ji Mian knew the secret about Lin Fu being a Genetically Modified Person; others were unaware. Lin Fu’s current physical condition was troublesome and required more meticulous checks and observation.
She simply couldn’t rejoin the team.
"...Let’s wait until we reach the B3 space transfer station!"
Lin Fu took a quick shower, but afterward couldn’t find her clothes to change into. To make things worse, the bathroom door was fully automated and didn’t allow for a slight crack to open for conversation or to receive items.
It either wouldn’t open at all.
Or it would snap open entirely.
After her shower, she saw that her clothes in the disinfection machine weren’t cleaned yet, and she felt overwhelmed.
"Fu Xing, come here for a second."
Fu Xing’s voice came from outside the door.
"I... I have no clothes to wear. Can you get me something?"
Outside, Fu Xing paused for a moment. Soon the automatic door snapped open completely, making Lin Fu behind it panic and try to find a place to hide, but there was really nowhere to hide. With Fu Xing standing right outside and in her urgency, she instinctively dived into Fu Xing’s embrace.
She covered his eyes in a flustered manner.
"Don’t look, don’t look, close your eyes now."
Having a warm and soft beauty in his arms, if he could still restrain his inner urges, he would surely have become a saint.
With one hand, Fu Xing restrained Lin Fu’s waist in his embrace, their bodies pressed intimately without leaving a single gap.
Then, he spun around while holding Lin Fu, pinning her somewhat roughly against the wall with his movements.
The man’s heavy breathing changed the atmosphere in the bathroom, making it ambiguous, heated, an air so dense it wrapped around them tightly.
The situation was dire for Lin Fu.
Behind her was a cold, special metal wall, and in front of her was the man’s body, hard as a wall with a scorching heat, leaving her caught between fire and ice.
Her breathing became rapid, her mind a blank, seemingly not in control of her body.
She struggled helplessly, trying to push away the strong, overbearing man. She finally managed to raise her arms but he restrained them in an unreasonable posture, pressing them against the wall in a gesture of surrender.
His hot hand reached in, and Lin Fu’s eyes widened in shock.
"Ah Foo, close your eyes."
The man coaxed in a low murmur, his voice husky with a hint of heavy breath.
At his words, Lin Fu instinctively closed her eyes.
The kiss that followed was domineering, like a tide coming in, not stopping until it had overwhelmed her.
Lin Fu completely lost the capacity to think, and indulged without restraint.
She, without realizing, clung tightly to Fu Xing’s waist, naively reciprocating his gesture.
Yet it was this very signal that snapped the last thread of restraint in the cool, controlled, and introspective man’s mind.
At that moment, Fu Xing cast aside all his considerations, plans, interests.
He didn’t want to carry the burden of the Fu Family’s millennium legacy, nor be the Iron-blooded Commander protecting the Empire, without all the scheming and the entangled struggles for power.
Forget the Purple Wish Token, forget the Genetically Modified People.
"Ah Foo..." Fu Xing couldn’t help but murmur her name.
