Chapter 287: Chapter 277 Introduction

"That’s not the point, why are you upset? Could it be that you’re not satisfied with my perfect answer?" Men are really wolf-like creatures, Lu Yun suddenly felt there was a huge, natural trench between herself and Shitou, right?

It’s because your answer was too perfect.

Shitou’s little man inside his heart felt wronged and counted on his fingers. However, he would rather die than say such a thing out loud, so he started hemming and hawing, looking around in an attempt to divert attention, "I don’t even have time to stay and help you tidy up, shouldn’t that make me unhappy?"

"Shitou, I just realized how cute you are, you’ve even stolen my lines and expressions, hahaha—" Lu Yun couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Shitou’s awkward demeanor.

"How have I stolen your lines? I can’t be with you, yet I haven’t seen you so upset?" Shitou, seeing Lu Yun’s joyful laughter, felt even more unhappy and couldn’t help muttering gloomily.

"Huh?"

Lu Yun’s laughter stopped, and she suddenly realized that Shitou was truly unhappy. Did he want her to be upset? In a flash of realization, Lu Yun came to an understanding.

She was both touched and amused, actively hooking her hand around Shitou’s neck and leaning in to kiss his cheek, "You’re so silly, I answered you that way because I didn’t want you to worry about me during your training. Actually, if I could, why wouldn’t I want to be with you every day, every moment?

But if it were really like that, maybe you would get tired of me soon. You know, between us, we might have to be together for hundreds of years."

"Being with you, even if it’s every moment for hundreds of years, I would never feel tired of it," Shitou looked at Lu Yun very seriously, "I would only feel that there isn’t enough time."

"Me too," Lu Yun smiled contentedly. Who says most men are not skilled at expressing love or can’t speak sweet nothings? This must be the most touching love words she had heard in her life, "I like hearing you say this. Will you say it to me often in the future?"

"Sure, as long as you don’t get tired of it, I will only say it to you," Shitou said, gazing at Lu Yun, adoration flooding his eyes.

"Pinky promise, no lying."

Lu Yun extended her pinky, and Shitou did too, locking hers in his, and a sweet sentiment welled up in both their hearts.

Even as they boarded the helicopter, faced with their two male and two female personal guards who boarded with them, the air around the couple was still filled with pink bubbles—a sense of happiness and understanding that made everyone involuntarily smile.

"The newcomer is Wen Shan; everyone else is the same. Su Qiaoling, Wen Shan, Xiaoyun’s safety will mainly be entrusted to you from now on." After boarding, Shitou took special care to introduce the new member of the guard to Lu Yun.

Originally, Lu Yun was guarded by one man and one woman, but considering that it would be better to have a female comrade who could stay with Lu Yun for an extended period at the family compound, they made a temporary switch. The other three, including Shitou’s guard Su Qiaoling, Zhan Hongtao, and Zhuang Jun, were already well-acquainted with Lu Yun.

"Thank you for your troubles," Lu Yun smiled.

"It’s no trouble, it’s our duty," Wen Shan said, smiling more readily than Su Qiaoling, as they both saluted Lu Yun and Shitou with a bend of their eyes and brows.

Zhan Hongtao and Zhuang Jun saluted them with a snap to attention, and Shitou, along with Lu Yun, returned the salute one by one.

The helicopter took off quickly, and during the flight, Shitou began to introduce Lu Yun bit by bit to the situation at the research institute they were about to reach, as well as the conditions at the family compound.

"When the time comes, Su Qiaoling and Zhan Hongtao, Wen Shan and Zhuang Jun, will pose as couples. Su Qiaoling and Zhan Hongtao will live next to us, and Wen Shan and Zhuang Jun will live downstairs. If I have to work overtime or go to Dragon Squad, they will take turns coming to our house to accompany you at night."

"Isn’t that a bit much? In the research institute, with everyone next door or downstairs, won’t that be over the top?" Mainly, wouldn’t that mean no privacy at night?

"These are necessary security measures, also to be prepared for any contingency. After all, being in the same unit, if anything happens, we can react more quickly and timely."

Shitou didn’t mention that in fact, there would also be hidden sentries outside their family compound residence, but as the Elixir and bathing treatments were being rolled out and their effects became apparent, no amount of security precautions could be considered too much.

And they wouldn’t stay too long at this research institute; the overall safety facilities were still not up to standard. A new, more secure research facility was already under construction.

"It wasn’t like this before, was it?" Lu Yun was puzzled; it never seemed to have been this tense before.

"Before, you just didn’t know about it."

Shitou smiled. After more than a month of medicinal baths, the leader and his wife, as well as the grandparents, had taken the treatments and undergone comprehensive physical examinations. Not only had they changed outwardly, but even their bodies’ vitality had rejuvenated by more than a decade. And this was just after one month; the effects after three months would be even more astonishing...

To this shocking effect, experiencing it on oneself as opposed to others makes a world of difference; thus, the leader’s last hint of doubt was completely dispelled.

Lu Yun’s security level had also been significantly raised. Members of the Lu Family, as well as other relatives who were initially outside the scope of protection but were close, were now subtly provided with extra security.

After all, any harm to such a National Treasure-grade person would be an immense loss to the entire country, and an irreplaceable one at that.

"Oh." Being a guard is such hard work! Lu Yun sighed inwardly.

"There’s a small county near the research institute. To facilitate the researchers and their families in buying daily necessities, and food like rice, meat, vegetables, and fruits, the institute arranges a shuttle bus. Every three days, with a two-day interval between, there’s one, which you can also take, but you’ll have to be accompanied by the two of them when you go."

Seeing her look of realization, Shitou found her so adorable that he was tempted to pat her head, adding, "The shuttle leaves at 6:30 a.m., takes two and a half hours to the nearest small county, stays until 2:30 p.m., and then departs back on time. It’s free to ride."

"The benefits are pretty good, even offering a free ride. Is it the research institute’s own shuttle? Are there any other services, like do they provide a vegetable garden at the family compound?" Lu Yun asked enthusiastically, feeling that gardening is a necessary skill in any family compound.

"You’ll see when we get there. There are no villages near our research institute, not because there never were, but because for safety reasons, people were gradually relocated elsewhere when the research institute was built," Shitou explained.
