Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 240: Did the Commander Do Something Bad?
The dissection class teacher’s office was very quiet.
Several jars containing different species’ eyeballs seemed to be witnessing all this inconceivable spectacle.
Su Wan knew that Teacher Lan Yu was a very intelligent person.
At the same time, he also had a particular frenzy for medical science.
Her eyes half-closed, she asked, "Teacher Lan Yu, are you sure you want to know the answer to this?"
Lan Yu: "Of course. Although I am from Mermaid Planet, my mother is from the Federal Empire, and I have an eternal loyalty to the Federal Empire—I swear it on my mermaid tail!"
"I only ever express fervor for biological science."
Su Wan’s lips twitched as she looked around the office filled with biological limbs and knew.
She said, "Because of your frenzy for biological science, when you discover a new species, do you have a particularly strong desire to dissect them to see why such anomalies occur?"
Lan Yu always enjoyed discussing academic matters with students, especially those who intrigued him for dissection.
He pushed up his glasses as if he were lecturing, "Theoretically, that’s how it is. After all, any case of abnormal evolution in a living being might be greatly related to its surrounding environment."
"For instance, why we evolved Beastmen or why Ancient Earth became unsuitable for human habitation, forcing us to migrate to various planets, and so on. Nature’s allure is powerful, and the allure of living beings within nature is even greater."
"So, dear Su Wan, can you tell me what exactly is your current situation? Rest assured, although I am interested in dissecting to conduct research, I respect life when you are alive."
Su Wan’s lips twitched again.
It was as if you dared to dissect Commander himself.
Looking into Lan Yu’s beautiful eyes, full of curiosity, she finally took the pale blue potion and drank it.
The sweet taste in the office slowly vanished.
Lan Yu was both shocked and excited!
Su Wan: "As you can see, I have undergone secondary evolution, and the direction is probably that of a mermaid."
"However, Teacher Lan Yu, this is a highly classified secret, not just because of my status as the wife of the Commander but also due to research on Beastman evolution. If you can’t keep it a secret..."
Lan Yu nodded vigorously, "I understand, I comprehend, and I absolutely will keep it confidential, but... may I join this research?"
Twenty minutes later, Su Wan finally returned home as she had hoped.
The soft and clingy wolf-ear baby snuggled in her arms, cooing ’momma.’
Next to her, Vermilion Bird silently dragged away the home maintenance robot damaged by the wolf-ear baby for repair.
In his white uniform, Gu Qingyu frowned slightly, "Xiaowan, the Commander has said that the matter of your reverse evolution should not be disclosed to others for the time being."
Now, apart from the Commander couple themselves, only Gu Qingyu and his wife Ouyang Qing, as well as his Majesty Gu Zilan, knew about this.
There’s no need to talk about his Majesty Gu Zilan, but one half of the Gu Qingyu couple is specially dedicated to solving the series of problems caused by Su Wan’s sudden evolution, while the other has been following and monitoring Su Wan’s health situation for many years.
Not to mention, this couple is also related to Su Wan.
But, what about this fish?
Shedding his white lab coat, Lan Yu watched the wolf-ear baby in Su Wan’s arms with shining eyes!
Su Wan was helpless: "After all, he is a teacher at Empire University; we can’t just kill him without any reason. But since he’s discovered the secret of my evolution, I could only bring him here first."
Lan Yu: "Ahem, Su Wan, I’m still here."
Ouyang Qing was the calmest one, she said, "Xiaowan, why not ask the Commander?"
Post-evolution in Beastmen is a quite astonishing thing.
If the law behind Su Wan’s evolution were found, and this method is stolen by some organization or planet to create a large number of Beastmen.
It could spell the end of a certain kind of intergalactic peace for other planets!
No matter what, Su Wan would be pushed into a highly dangerous situation.
This was why Duke Gu Jue had his Majesty Gu Zilan lockdown the main star during this period.
Now, Teacher Lan Yu, the anatomy instructor, had become the sixth person to know the truth.
As soon as Su Wan heard it, her eyes lit up!
"Right, I’ll go ask Ajue for his opinion right away!"
Su Wan knew that Gu Jue was at war and couldn’t disturb him, fearing that it might affect something in a critical moment.
Yet, she still missed the fluffy Commander!
Returning to the study, Su Wan activated Gu Jue’s projection.
She had a selfish reason.
She wanted to see for herself if Ajue had been injured.
The projection connected faster than Su Wan had expected, as she thought that Gu Jue must be resting at the time.
But the moment the connection was made, she watched, wide-eyed, as a spaceship was blown to smithereens in her field of vision.
In the deep blue universe, it looked like a firework blooming.
Su Wan: "..."
It was only then that the camera turned back to Gu Jue.
His military uniform was a bit loose, and his bangs were still wet.
Su Wan was at a loss for words again.
As a wife, a wife who deeply loved her husband, her first reaction at that moment would definitely be that her husband was cheating or up to no good.
But Su Wan was exceptionally rational.
It wasn’t that she had too much confidence in herself or too much confidence in Gu Jue.
It was because she, who had been sick for many years and had dealt with medicine ever since, and even studied a medical major, quickly noticed something off beneath the loose military uniform.
Su Wan: "Ajue, are you injured?"
Gu Jue’s handsome eyes blinked slightly in confusion, then his thin lips pressed together lightly, "A minor injury."
"Then let me see!"
"It’s ugly."
Su Wan narrowed her eyes, her expression slightly fierce, "Commander Gu, you can’t have double standards! I looked so ugly when I was giving birth, and you saw it all. How come I can’t see you with a small injury? Besides, I’m a medical student, I won’t be scared by a horrific wound."
"I’m just... worried about you."
Beastmen have robust bodies, and minor injuries heal quickly.
As the most powerful beastman of the Federal Empire, if it were just a small injury, Su Wan wouldn’t be overly concerned.
She just wanted to see for herself.
After all, her beloved was in a very dangerous place, thousands of miles—no, perhaps light years—away.
Gu Jue looked at his beautiful wife’s eyes, gleaming like jewels, and slowly began to unfasten the buttons of his coat, revealing a gruesome scar that ran across his abdomen.
Even though it had been treated medically, it was evident how dangerous the situation had been.
The whole person was nearly punctured through!
Su Wan’s pupils shrank sharply!
Gu Jue: "It’s not a fatal injury. With an injury of this level, I’ve been hurt before. If you call tomorrow, you might only see a shallow scar."
Su Wan knew that Gu Jue was telling the truth, but she was still a little worried.
She asked, "Are there people that powerful among the Star Thieves?"
Commander Gu frowned slightly; he didn’t like to hear his darling wife praising other people.
