The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 257: The Story of Little White Rabbit and Big Gray Wolf
"You..."
Qin Cheng had just uttered a word when Su Ruan interrupted him.
"Even if you jump off here, she won’t be able to come back to life!"
"Don’t even think about seeing her, she surely won’t meet someone like you who has no sense of responsibility and doesn’t value his own life!"
Su Ruan was a bit angry, and her tone became much heavier.
Qin Cheng stared at Su Ruan in a daze.
Su Ruan glared fiercely at Qin Cheng, "Don’t think that just because you’re Your Majesty, I won’t dare to scold you!"
"Do you know how much influence your passing would have on the entire Federation!"
Su Ruan remembered clearly how after Your Majesty’s unexpected passing in her previous life, the Four Great Armies were busy dividing powers, leaving the entire Federation in a state of extreme chaos.
Some planets even experienced riots.
"You think you can end it all by dying, but what about the people of the Federation?"
Su Ruan was so angry her eyes turned red.
Thinking about it now, it’s possible Your Majesty’s passing in the past life wasn’t accidental but a deliberate suicide!
Leaving behind a mess for others to clean up, dragging the Federation down for several years.
Perhaps the Insect Race had already infiltrated the Central Star back then, but people from the Four Great Armies were too busy consolidating power to notice these anomalies, giving the Insect Race an opportunity.
"By acting this way, you’re not only letting her down but also failing the many people of the Federation."
"You are also failing yourself!"
The identity of "Your Majesty" destined him to be different from ordinary people.
He had responsibilities he must shoulder, and his every move concerned the people of the Federation. How could he so easily abandon his life?
Even if he were just an ordinary person, he shouldn’t so easily give up his life.
Taken aback by Su Ruan’s reprimand, Qin Cheng gradually came back to his senses, staring straight at her before suddenly saying, "You resemble your mother greatly."
Su Ruan was stunned, pausing in her tracks.
"Do you know who my mother is?" she asked.
"I didn’t know before." Qin Cheng propped himself up, stood up, leaning a hand on the bridge pillar beside him, and laughed, "Just now, I suddenly realized."
"Your mother is Su Hanjing, isn’t she?"
Though his words were phrased as a question, his tone was affirmative.
Su Ruan nodded.
Qin Cheng showed a "so it’s true" expression.
"When you’re angry, you look very much like her." Qin Cheng said with a smile, "I just realized how much you resemble your mother."
Su Ruan: ...
"Your mother’s temper was fiery, and she often scolded people like this." Qin Cheng added.
Su Ruan’s lips twitched. Although she’d already learned from Aunt Wan about her mother’s fiery temper, hearing it from her mother’s former admirer felt bizarre.
"I thought white moonlight would always be the gentle, soft type." Su Ruan replied.
Qin Cheng shook his head, "I’ve come to terms with my feelings for Su Hanjing now."
"In truth, it wasn’t even affection."
"It was more about the admiration for strength."
"Your mother was formidable, and my spiritual power was actually just A. Although it sounds good, being a Prince with superior genes, having only A-level spiritual power wasn’t impressive, considering those around me all had S-Class spirit power."
"Your mother had 3S Spirit Power, strong combat power, and an exceptional talent in pharmacy."
"Admiration for strength, it’s probably human nature."
Qin Cheng shrugged, smiled, "Thinking back now, I might have wanted to consider your mother as my big brother; I was young then, and didn’t understand the difference between the admiration for strength and love."
Su Ruan: ...
"I didn’t expect you to be Su Hanjing’s daughter." Qin Cheng remarked wistfully, "That’s probably fate."
Su Ruan’s lips twitched, "So, you don’t want to die now, do you?"
He better not jump into the river right after she leaves.
Qin Cheng shook his head, "I don’t want to die anymore."
"You’re right, my death can’t solve the problem."
"I need to help Xiao Nian clear obstacles and elevate him to power, only then... it won’t be too late to die."
Seeing Qin Cheng abandon the idea, Su Ruan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Su Ruan." Qin Cheng slowly raised his hand and gave Su Ruan a military salute, "See you on the Central Star."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Su Ruan watched his back, the wind lifting his hem, still desolate yet concealing a hint of vitality.
That evening upon returning home, Su Ruan recounted the day’s events to Lu Shinian.
She also mentioned what happened back in the day.
After Lu Shinian finished listening, he retrieved the graduation photo that 003 had previously found. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Our mothers were classmates." Lu Shinian pointed to a young girl with her head slightly down in the back row, "This is my mother."
He then pointed to the girl at the front who somewhat resembled Su Ruan, "This is your mother."
Su Ruan looked at the photo with surprise, "It really is."
Lu Shinian then took out the Military Badge he’d gotten from Your Majesty, which had caused misunderstandings between Su Hu and Su Heyuan, and pointed to the innermost "S" with a flickering gaze, proposing a bold guess.
"Does this ’S’ represent Su?"
"Mom said this was given to her by her most important friend."
Su Ruan: !!!
She suddenly felt it all rather magical.
"My mother and your mother were best friends?"
So in other words, Your Majesty’s white moonlight and stand-in were best friends?
This...
These older folks sure know how to play.
Lu Shinian rubbed the Military Badge, his eyes darkening, "It should be."
"And..."
Recalling his mother speaking to herself as a child, Lu Shinian sighed suddenly.
"It seems Your Majesty fell into my mother’s scheme."
"What do you mean?" Su Ruan grew curious.
Lu Shinian recalled, "Mother used to tell me a story when I was young."
"What story?" Su Ruan was increasingly curious.
From Lu Shinian’s tone, was the tale about the stand-in going to have a twist?
"The story of the little white rabbit and the big gray wolf." Lu Shinian’s voice was deep, with a sexy lilt, as he began to narrate the story his mother once told him.
"A big gray wolf on the prairie always liked to look up from the bottom of the cliff."
"Around the cliff, an eagle would always soar and circle; the big gray wolf envied the eagle’s ability to fly, but the big gray wolf had no wings, it couldn’t fly, only watch the eagle fly."
"The big gray wolf didn’t know, but there was a little white rabbit hidden in the grass at the bottom of the cliff."
"The little white rabbit often observed the big gray wolf, knowing that the big gray wolf wanted to fly but didn’t have wings; it didn’t have wings either so they were meant to be together."
"The little white rabbit found a chance, hopping into the sight of the big gray wolf."
"The big gray wolf took the little white rabbit back to its den, keeping it as reserve food."
"But the little white rabbit was very delicate, it only ate the freshest tender grass. The big gray wolf had to run very far every day to gather the freshest tender grass for the little white rabbit."
