Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 122: No, Su Wan, You Must Be Reserved!
Su Wan took a deep breath and then tried to make her tone slightly gentler.
"Ajue, it’s like this, my roommates missed me so much that I haven’t gone home to stay these past few days."
Over at Commander Gu’s end, it was very quiet.
Su Wan immediately and decisively tried to make amends, "You just got back home, hurry and rest up, take a hot shower, get yourself cleaned up, and I... I’ll rush back soon to help you dry the fur on your tail!"
Without waiting for Gu Jue to say anything else, Su Wan decisively jumped out of bed, then changed clothes and packed her things.
Watching her make a fuss late at night, Ms. Luo, who was applying a face mask, was left speechless.
"Xiaowan, you’re running out in the middle of the night to meet up with some wild man?"
"It’s Commander Gu," Su Wan put on her coat and tied her shoelaces and said, "He’s back."
Seeing her roommate decisively abandon them and dart toward her own man, Miss Luo pondered thoughtfully.
Would she become as sticky and lovey-dovey as the two of them after she got married?
But, she was almost forgetting what her fiancé looked like!
Just then, Luo Jina’s light brain flickered, and after connecting, Alex’s excited voice came through, "Jina, hurry up and log in, let’s form a team and go!"
"Wait till I finish my face mask."
"With your face, what’s the point of a face mask?"
"Are you looking for death?"
"No, no, no, what I meant was Miss Luo is naturally beautiful, you don’t need a face mask to be the most beautiful!"
"Hmph! At least you know what’s good for you!"
Su Wan had already left the noisy dorm.
She sent a location to her family’s flying vehicle to pick her up at the campus gate.
But when Su Wan got to the school gate, she was stopped.
Mu Lei was dressed in dark combat attire, seemingly having just finished training, with an expression as cold as ever.
Next to him stood a young man also in combat attire.
Wearing the uniform of Empire University, which indicated he had not yet graduated.
Yet he seemed to be a year or two older than Su Wan.
Both were remarkable in appearance, and there was a subtle resemblance to Mu Lei around their eyes and brows.
Only, because he had just finished training, his hair tips were wet, but his eyes were bright. With a slight smile, dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Mu Lei had been brooding lately, why was this kid Su Wan becoming more and more indifferent towards him?
He took the initiative to speak, "Student Su Wan, where are you going so late at night?"
"Going home."
Seeing the flying vehicle at the gate, Su Wan waved to Mu Lei, "Director Mu, see you."
Mu Lei: "..."
He watched as the girl sprinted onto the flying vehicle and once again left without looking back.
It was as if she had a strong aversion to him.
Mu Lei’s lips were tightly pursed.
The young man laughed with his arms crossed, "Little uncle, you couldn’t possibly like her, could you? Although you are a year younger than Commander Gu, no offense, but you seem like you could be Commander Gu’s elder."
After he said that, he added insult to injury: "Oh no, Commander Gu wouldn’t have such an ugly uncle."
Mu Lei scoffed coldly, "Are you looking for death, Mu Xiaoge? Don’t talk nonsense! I am friends with Ms. Su Wan’s mother!"
"Oh~ friends, huh~"
Mu Lei cracked his wrists, making a clicking sound.
"Let’s go, my dear nephew, we’ll continue with the mecha combat training."
Mu Xiaoge immediately cried out, "Uncle, my dear uncle, you can’t be so ruthless! I’ve trained for over three hours! If I keep training, your adorable nephew will be ruined!"
"If ruined, then ruined. My brother and sister-in-law can still have kids."
"..."
Mu Lei was known for his strictness.
And with his own nephew, he was even less lenient.
So, he dragged his wailing nephew back to the training ground once again.
**
By the time Su Wan’s flying vehicle landed on the platform of the Commander’s mansion, her heart was still pounding erratically.
No, Su Wan, you must be reserved!
Even if you miss Commander Gu and that fluffy big tail, you must hold yourself back!
She slowly disembarked from the aircraft.
The White Tiger, with its tiny metallic wings fluttering, flew over anxiously and said, "Madam, the master, he’s been injured!"
Upon hearing this, Su Wan immediately cast aside all composure and ran inside!
Then the White Tiger followed behind her, beating its little wings, its electronic eyes squinting into crescents.
Madam, run faster!
Otherwise, the wound on the master’s hand will heal!
Su Wan was very worried about Gu Jue’s injury. Even though she knew he was the strongest Beastman, when it came to someone she cared about, even a small wound on their body would concern her greatly.
What’s more, the things Gu Jue had been doing these past few days were very dangerous.
When Su Wan ran back, the bedroom was empty, and the sound of water came from the bathroom.
She knocked on the bathroom door.
"Ajue, are you in there? I heard from White Tiger that you were injured. Are you all right? If the wound is too deep, you shouldn’t get it wet!"
Gu Jue had just finished bathing, wearing his bathrobe loosely.
The water droplets that weren’t wiped away trickled down his wheat-colored skin.
Listening to the worried voice of his little wife outside, he looked down at the wound on the back of his left hand.
No, it could no longer be called a wound.
Because only a light pink trace was left.
In a few more hours, it would probably be completely healed.
Gu Jue’s lips thinned, and he clenched his left hand, smashing it forcefully against the wall.
Minutes later, the glass door of the bathroom in front of Su Wan finally opened slowly. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
The freshly-bathed Commander stepped out, his wet fur bristling and his fuzzy ears involuntarily shuddering in the cold air.
Su Wan asked with concern, "Where are you hurt?"
Gu Jue moved his left hand behind him, "It’s nothing, just a minor injury."
"Let me see!"
Su Wan immediately reached out and pulled his hand over.
Seeing the fierce wound on the back of his hand, her brows furrowed tightly.
"How could it be so severe? Why didn’t you bandage it?"
"You said to take a bath."
"..."
Su Wan didn’t know how to respond to that for a moment.
After all, she had indeed mentioned taking a bath just before.
But she didn’t know that Gu Jue was injured then!
Su Wan had no choice but to take the medical kit and treat the wound on Gu Jue’s hand carefully, bandaging it meticulously.
In the orange light of the bedroom, Su Wan’s face was a picture of seriousness. A few strands of her long hair slid down, brushing over her snowy white neck.
Because she had rushed, she hadn’t tied up her long hair as she usually did.
Gu Jue’s throat tightened, and he cleared it with a light cough.
"I’ve arranged for your spiritual power test tomorrow. You have time, right?"
"I have time, but, have you finished your work?"
"It’s finished."
"So, that Barren Star, can we continue turning it into an estate?"
Gu Jue looked up, seeing the expectation in Su Wan’s eyes.
He remembered his little wife in the fields, under the sun, wearing a floral dress, insisting on digging for sweet potatoes.
So lively and so charming.
Gu Jue: "After cleaning up, it’s been confirmed that there are no more eggs, so continuing with the estate won’t be a problem."
Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s good; otherwise, it would have been a pity if such a suitable planet for farming had been lost.
As the conversation ended, the room fell silent again.
The atmosphere slowly turned tender.
Perhaps because the room’s temperature was too high, Su Wan felt a bit hot.
She said dryly, "I sweated a bit running back just now. I’m a bit hot, so I’m going to take a shower. Ajue, you should rest a while."
After saying that, Su Wan went into the bathroom and splashed her face with cold water first.
