Chapter 255: Chapter 253: Early Warning

Xiaoqiao shivered, and large teardrops hit the floor as she reached out to grasp the pant leg of the man in front of her, "Please help me, I’ll do anything."

Su Mo always felt this statement had a hint of desperation, implying she would sacrifice her body if needed. She walked over, grabbed Xiaoqiao by the collar, and yanked her up from the floor, "Sorry, my man currently has no power or status, and I’m the one supporting him. You should probably ask the military where your parents are."

Lu Chen’s lips curved up slightly. He seemed somewhat pleased with her response.

Xiaoqiao, holding onto her bruised collar, shouted with red swollen eyes, "You think I don’t want to? But I can’t even get close to the Inner Ring!"

"You participated in the experiment voluntarily, so you should be prepared for the worst. Rather than making a scene here, it would be more reliable to seek help from the soldiers in the Inner Ring," Su Mo was somewhat speechless as she dragged Xiaoqiao towards the door.

Without giving her a chance to speak anymore, she slammed the door shut, leaving her outside.

As Su Mo dusted off her hands, preparing to go back and continue cooking, her heart suddenly clenched in severe pain, causing her face to pale and her knees to buckle, forcing her to kneel heavily.

The man on the sofa instantly tore through the space and appeared before her, catching her in his arms as she fell.

The pain was that of her heart being torn apart again.

Su Mo clenched onto Lu Chen’s shirt in front of his chest, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Zhao Changsheng and Li Qian rushed to her side immediately.

"What’s the matter! Your heart hurts again?"

They had seen this symptom before and knew something bad was about to happen.

Lu Chen quickly picked her up, kicked the door open, and placed her on the bed, holding her tightly in his arms. His magnetic voice tinged with urgency, "What can I do to help you?"

Shaking her head, Su Mo knew she just needed to endure this period; it was her system issuing a warning again.

She didn’t speak, her lips bleeding where she bit into them.

Lu Chen’s eyes darkened. He pried her mouth open and presented his arm in front of her, "Bite it."

Su Mo shook her head as the pain made her vision start to blur with a white fog.

She only heard his soothing voice lingering in her ears, "Be good, I’ll share your pain."

Su Mo’s consciousness drifted further away. When Lu Chen brought his sturdy arm to her lips again, she opened her mouth and bit down hard.

Despite the forceful bite, he didn’t flinch but gently brushed her hair behind her ear.

Seeing this, Zhao Changsheng grew anxious and stomped his foot, but Li Qian persuaded him to leave the room, "Being here won’t help her get better. Go bring Ling Ye back; we might be facing a crisis."

Ling Ye had gone to play at Su Niang’s place early in the morning. Zhao Changsheng unwillingly left, ultimately saying, "I’ll be back soon!"

"Hmm."

By the evening, the person in bed was drenched, as if she had been soaked in water, her entire body wet with sweat.

Her mouth full of the taste of blood, when the heart pain finally began to subside and her consciousness started to return, Su Mo’s eyelashes trembled, and the intense taste of blood made her extremely uncomfortable.

She slowly opened her eyes, but her vision was blurred with several overlapping images, her eyelashes heavy with sweat droplets obstructing her sight.

Turning her head, she saw the man with his eyes closed.

"Lu, Chen,"

Her voice was extremely weak, yet it drew several people who were either standing or sitting in the room to gather around her.

Lu Chen abruptly opened his eyes and carefully helped her sit up, cradling her gently, "Are you awake?"

"Sister Su!" Ling Ye stood beside the bed, nervously wringing her little hands.

"Hmm," Su Mo nodded, but instantly noticed the large patch of flesh on Lu Chen’s arm that was almost torn off.

"I bit you?" Her voice trembled slightly as she immediately took his hand with sympathy, "Why did you do this again!"

"It’s fine," Lu Chen helped her sit properly, while Li Qian brought over some hot water from outside and handed it to her.

"Thank you," Su Mo took a sip, swallowing deeply with the taste of his blood still in her mouth.

"I’ll make some Biluochun Tea for you," she said, supporting herself on the bed and trying to climb over him to get up.

"No need, rest," Lu Chen decisively took the cup from her hand and pressed her back onto the bed.

"Yes, Momo, you rest a while longer, does your heart still hurt?" Zhao Changsheng asked anxiously, reaching towards her chest from the other end of the bed.

Before he could touch her, Li Qian, holding her by the collar, gently said to them, "Rest well today, we’ll come back tomorrow."

"Li Qian, are you asking for a beating?" Zhao Changsheng angrily stepped on his foot.

"Enough, Changsheng, stop messing around, I have something to discuss with you tomorrow morning," Su Mo stopped her from almost starting a fight in the room.

Zhao Changsheng reluctantly withdrew her foot, turned her head to glare at him, and then turned to leave.

"Sister Su, I’ll come back tomorrow," Ling Ye greeted her as she followed the others out.

Only Su Mo and Lu Chen were left in the room.

Su Mo shifted her body, sticky, and tugged on Lu Chen’s arm, "I want to take a bath."

"Does it not hurt anymore?"

Su Mo decisively shook her head, pulled his neck down, and kissed him on the lips, "It doesn’t hurt anymore, I’m going to take a bath first, I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay."

Seeing her gradually flushed face, Lu Chen finally did not stop her decision. He lifted the blanket and helped her out of the bed into the bathroom, prepared her clothes, and then left, "Call me if you need anything."

"Mmm."

In the bathroom, Su Mo heated the water and then took a bath.

Lu Chen stood before the kitchen counter where Su Mo’s half-burnt meal from the day was still in the big iron pot. He cleaned the pot and began to stew something in it.

After her bath, Su Mo walked out in fresh clothes and saw the man chopping meat and cooking porridge.

The gruesome wound on his arm unfurled and bled as he chopped the meat.

She approached the table, laid out the tea set, and brewed a pot of Biluochun Tea, "Let me do this, you drink the tea."

Holding the warm tea, she approached the kitchen counter and handed him the tea.

The man bent down and took the tea from her hand directly, drinking it all in one go, his tone leaving no room for debate, "Go sit down."

Seeing his arm slowly healing, Su Mo finally sat down on the sofa, her mood somewhat heavy, "Today was the day those New Humans appeared?"

"Mmm."

Lu Chen’s voice was flat as he turned off the kitchen gas and scooped the porridge out of the pot.

Two steaming bowls of meat porridge were placed on the table, not beautifully made, but the taste was not bad.

Su Mo blew on it and took a big spoonful into her mouth, "There’s going to be trouble, my warnings have never been wrong. What do you think about this?"

"Prepare to leave," Lu Chen’s eyes darkened, reaching over to wipe the rice that had escaped her mouth due to eating too hastily.

"What do you plan to do about Aunt Jiang?" Su Mo licked the place he had just wiped, her expression somewhat worried, "The last time I had an episode in prison until the accident happened, it was only a matter of weeks, we might not have much time to prepare."
