CHAPTER 83: CHAPTER 83: WARMING UP RUAN RUAN

His Ruan Ruan actually took the initiative to hold his arm.

Lu Shinian’s heart softened, he responded softly, "Yeah, we have our own home now."

Whether in reality or in this Second World, he has a home with her.

"Do you want to go see our home together?" Su Ruan asked.

Lu Shinian naturally wouldn’t refuse her.

The two quickly arrived at the aerial villa area. After verifying the key, everything in front of them changed in an instant. When Su Ruan came to her senses, they were already standing in the central courtyard of the Lu Su Pavilion villa.

The courtyard was planted with many flowers, blooming vividly, looking extremely beautiful.

Su Ruan held Lu Shinian’s arm and walked inside. Pushing open the door, a spacious and bright living room came into view, except... it was a bit empty.

Su Ruan was silent for a second, her lips twitched, she couldn’t help but complain, "The system is so stingy, it didn’t even give us any furniture."

Lu Shinian, however, was quite satisfied with the emptiness. He raised his hand and ruffled Su Ruan’s hair, speaking in a low voice, "We’ll buy it ourselves."

"We’ll slowly build a home that belongs to us."

Su Ruan nodded obediently, responding, "Mm-hmm!"

Lu Shinian was still logged in with the account "Little Sweet". Fortunately, he had already used a virtual coin to change the name to Lu yesterday, no longer facing the embarrassment of being called "Little Sweet".

If it weren’t for the fact that the "L" account had too many restrictions, he wouldn’t have used this account again. Such a pity.

He originally wanted to let Ruan Ruan buy whatever she liked.

Recently, Su Ruan had put some purified Level 1 Energy Stones in the automatic vending area for sale and earned a bit of money, but it wasn’t quite enough to buy furniture.

Moreover, she didn’t know how to explain the source of the money to Lu Shinian, so she had to temporarily set aside the idea of buying a lot.

The two strolled around the villa. Su Ruan was thinking about what to buy for different places, noting things down as she thought.

Meanwhile, Lu Shinian watched Su Ruan’s busy little figure, his eyes slightly dark, calling out to 003.

[003]

["I’m here, Master."] 003 rushed over, ["What instructions do you have for me, Master?"]

["Appeal to the main brain, the Second World’s privacy protection system in private areas, like at home, can be turned off."] Lu Shinian whispered.

003: ["Understood, the appeal has been submitted."]

Two seconds later, 003 responded: ["Master, the main brain rejected the appeal request."]

["Appeal again."] Lu Shinian’s expression was indifferent, ["Keep appealing until it agrees."]

003: ["Received!"]

Lu Shinian didn’t pay further attention to 003, stepping forward to wrap his arms around Su Ruan’s slender waist.

"Ruan Ruan, it’s late, isn’t it time to log off and rest?"

Su Ruan: ...

Don’t think she doesn’t know what he’s up to.

"You’re right, it is time to log off," Su Ruan said, and quickly logged off.

Lu Shinian raised an eyebrow slightly and logged off as well.

Elsewhere, Invincible Little Overlord had been waiting for a long time and finally saw Su check out!

He immediately rented the place, moved in eagerly, adjusted his posture, ready to welcome the mitigation of his Ancestral Stage.

But after waiting for a long time, his nerves were still as tense as before, with the same underlying irritation, entirely lacking the previous sense of relief.

This made Invincible Little Overlord very irritable. He sat up abruptly, scratched his head, wondering what had gone wrong in this situation.

Clearly, last time he fell asleep hugging the table leg in this posture.

Could it be that he needs to hug the table leg?

Invincible Little Overlord slapped his forehead and hurriedly fetched the table, lay down, and embraced it, attempting to fall asleep.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no response at all.

Invincible Little Overlord finally realized something was amiss.

If it wasn’t the house and table, could the calming factor be related to that person named Su?

Invincible Little Overlord suddenly felt he’d found the right clue, his mind lighting up.

It must be, apart from Su, he couldn’t think of any other explanation!

Invincible Little Overlord decided to go and ask Su directly.

At this moment, Su Ruan didn’t know Invincible Little Overlord had figured she was involved. But even if she knew, she wouldn’t be afraid, as she was already prepared to deal with Invincible Little Overlord.

After logging off, Su Ruan quickly fell asleep in her bed. When Lu Shinian came back after handling some urgent matters, he found her asleep, only to let out a helpless but gentle laugh, lowering his head to softly kiss her lips, murmuring, "Good night."

The next day, after Lu Shinian went to the Military Department, Su Ruan began planning another matter with Tangtang.

["Tangtang, do you think there’s a way to shake off the people Lu Shinian assigned to protect me? I want to take a trip to the black market."]

The Second World had a black market, and so did reality.

It’s said that both black markets are run by Second Master, whose power is unimaginably vast.

["Master, I can only connect to the internet and manipulate data, not control humans."] Tangtang spoke in a childish tone.

Su Ruan knew this was a difficult task, but she really wanted to visit the black market to buy some information.

She didn’t know if her big brother was going through the Ancestral Stage, and if he was, how he was doing now.

If possible, she wanted to contact her big brother.

Just as Su Ruan and Tangtang were discussing, the Light Brain suddenly rang.

It was a video call from Lu Shinian.

Su Ruan answered it, sat up straight, and asked softly, "Commander Lu, I’m at home."

She definitely wasn’t running around!

Lu Shinian chuckled, "I know."

"I wanted to ask if Ruan Ruan wants to go out and play?"

Su Ruan’s eyes lit up, she leaned forward slightly and replied without hesitation, "I do!"

"Come out, I’m at the door." Lu Shinian added.

Su Ruan quickly got up, glanced outside, and saw Lu Shinian’s hover car parked outside the villa.

She hung up the video call, quickly tidied up, and headed out.

After getting into the hover car, she asked, "Where are we going?"

"The black market." Lu Shinian’s tone was calm, with no discernible emotion.

Su Ruan’s hand paused, and for a moment, she even suspected he was monitoring her.

"Why are we suddenly going to the black market?" she asked.

"There’s an auction at the black market tonight," Lu Shinian played with Su Ruan’s slightly cold hand, "The auction list is confidential, just want to see if there are any low-impurity energy stones."

If there are, the black market needs a thorough investigation.

Su Ruan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like just a coincidence.

Lu Shinian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why are Ruan Ruan’s hands so cold?"

Su Ruan shifted her body slightly, chuckled lightly, "Because I’m waiting for Commander Lu to warm them up."

Lu Shinian paused, his eyes narrowing slightly, then he smiled, pulling Su Ruan into his arms.

"It’s still early, I don’t mind helping warm you up."

Su Ruan: ...

Don’t think she doesn’t know what he’s up to!
