The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 163: Did Little Sister Take Lu Shinian as a Stand-In?
Lu Shinian’s eyes darkened slightly, and he gently tightened his grip on Su Ruan’s small hand.
"Ruan Ruan, it’s the rule."
The cruel and unchangeable rule.
Easing the Ancestral Stage had always been a complex problem they were researching, but despite many years, there still was no progress.
As long as there’s no progress, these Complete Beastifications cannot leave the Forbidden Land.
"Ruan Ruan, I’ll take you back to rest." Clearly unwilling to discuss the matter further, Lu Shinian rarely took a strong stance, pulling Su Ruan away.
After the team competition, there will be a two-day break, after which the individual competition will take place.
Of course, Su Ruan has no reason to participate in the individual competition.
The fact that Su Ruan discovered a mineral vein on Muhe Star spread quickly, and the official news on the Star Network drew envy and jealousy, spurring various smears and rumors online.
Luckily, these smears and rumors were discovered by Little Qi Tangtang, who directly blacklisted and blocked the accounts. Those people probably won’t be able to log into the Star Network for a while.
Now, Star Network accounts are linked to identity numbers, and one person can only have one number. Blocking an account is akin to banning the person from the Star Network, which is quite severe.
Lu Shinian couldn’t leave Muhe Star for now as he had to judge there. Since Su Ruan had nothing else to do, she decided to stay with him.
Meanwhile, on Tianhe Star.
While tidying up Su Ruan’s things, Su Hu found something that shouldn’t belong to her. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
It was a badge, different from a regular badge, with gilded edges. Inside the edge, there was a faintly visible letter - [S].
The back had the Federation-exclusive maple leaf emblem, clearly a Military Badge.
Although Su Hu had stayed in the Second Legion before, their badge didn’t look like this, so this badge couldn’t be his.
As for his second and third brothers, it was even more impossible.
Su Hu’s normally not-so-sharp mind sparked, "Could this be from the boy my sister likes?"
His sister was so lovable; surely many boys would be fond of her.
Although the three brothers had warned all eligible males on Muhe Star not to bother their sister since she was little, they couldn’t stop her heart from favoring someone, leading her to approach them on her own.
A girl’s affection hidden in her heart, not daring to confess boldly, could only steal away the boy’s Military Badge, waiting silently for his return.
Alas, upon joining the legion, the boy couldn’t help himself and might have died in battle!
The more Su Hu thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, pacing around the room with the badge in hand.
His mind filling with sparks.
"No wonder! No wonder!" He showed an expression of sudden realization, as if perceiving some truth.
"No wonder my sister married that bastard Lu Shinian!"
Surely, she took Lu Shinian as a substitute!
The boy should have been in the Third Legion, faced some mishap, and then his sister took Lu Shinian of the Third Legion as a substitute!
"That’s definitely it!" Su Hu believed he found some truth, laughing heartily.
"Lu Shinian, finally, you have your day! Hahahaha!"
Being mistaken as a substitute is absolutely satisfying!
Concerning such unethical acts as taking someone as a substitute, what did that have to do with his sister?
He even felt sorry that his sister’s unrequited love forced her to take that bastard Lu Shinian as a substitute!
Besides, what was a Star Thief Leader doing talking about ethics?
Su Hu grinned, tossing the badge into his Space Button.
A piece likely to sadden his sister, it was best not for her to see it, lest she remember the unknown boy.
With his thoughts going completely astray, Su Hu was still there, reveling in his own delusion, even burst into laughter, sharing the good news with his second brother in the virtual battleground of the Second World.
Su Hu spoke with animated gestures.
To his credit, Su Hu’s storytelling skills were pretty good. His account so convincing, even the usually calm Su Heyuan was led astray.
After a moment of silence, Su Heyuan asked, "Really? Our sister took Lu Shinian as a substitute?"
"Absolutely!" Su Hu asserted confidently, "Otherwise, how do you explain her sudden marriage and then the runaway from the wedding with Lu Shinian?"
"The runaway must have been because she’s too kindhearted to continue treating Lu Shinian as a substitute!"
This logic was simply flawless! Su Hu couldn’t help but praise himself inwardly.
Su Heyuan nodded thoughtfully.
His sister’s sudden marriage and subsequent runaway at the wedding had always been a point of mystery to them.
If, as Big Brother said, she took Lu Shinian as a substitute, it explained agreeing to marry but then fleeing the wedding.
"That must be it." Su Heyuan rarely agreed with his big brother, eventually adding sympathetically, "Our sister has been through a lot over the years."
If only they had realized earlier that their sister had someone she liked, would things have turned out differently?
Su Hu also let out a heavy sigh.
"I have put that badge away."
"Our sister not wanting to take it with her when she left must have been because she didn’t want to reminisce."
"Clearly, she deeply loved that boy."
Pausing, he couldn’t help but gloat, "Lu Shinian would never guess he is a substitute, hahaha!"
Imagining Lu Shinian discovering he was a substitute, Su Heyuan’s lips curled slightly with a hint of malice.
"Speaking of which, why did Lu Shinian suddenly want to marry our sister?"
Their lives had no intersection before that.
Su Hu, thinking only of "substitute", upon hearing this, had another spark of insight.
"Second brother, do you think... that bastard Lu Shinian also took our sister as a substitute?"
Su Heyuan: ...
It sounded implausible, yet peculiarly reasonable.
"Damn it!" Su Hu cursed, "I should go finish off that bastard Lu Shinian!"
Su Heyuan rubbed his temples, "Big brother, you can’t beat him."
"Hmph!" Su Hu snorted coldly, "I can definitely injure him."
Su Heyuan frowned tightly. If Lu Shinian had also taken their sister as a substitute, wouldn’t that be a double substitution?
Isn’t this just like the plot of that "Double-faced Substitute" novel that Ji Bai reads?
Despite always despising Ji Bai for reading such novels, Su Heyuan decided to talk to Ji Bai after logging off, and take a look at that book.
"Big Brother." Su Heyuan tried to maintain some rationality, "Commander Lu is not that kind of person. He might purely be acting on ’S’ intensions."
Su Hu: ...
Damn, even more beastly!
Su Heyuan glanced at the time, "Big Brother, I have other matters to attend to, I’ll log off first, let’s talk later."
Su Hu waved his hand, "Go on, I’ll ponder over this some more."
Whether that guy Lu Shinian really acted on ’S’ instincts or took our sister as a substitute!
