He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

“I know my father wasn’t really angry; he just wanted to beat me up, so I’ll just let him beat me up to avoid any unforeseen complications.”

Yan Bei looked down at the person applying the medicine to her; from this angle, all she could see was her cute hair whorl.

When Qu Yi looked up, she saw his strange expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Bei: "No, I think your hair whorl is very cute."

Qu Yi: "A strange view of appreciation".

Yan Bei smiled and said, "In my eyes, everything about you is good and beautiful."

After saying that, he cupped her cheeks and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

"Your forehead is beautiful."

Then he kissed her repeatedly.

"Your eyebrows are beautiful."

"You have beautiful eyes."

"Your nose is beautiful."

"Her lips...are beautiful too."

He lingered for too long, so she gently pushed him away, stopped fooling around with him, and lowered her head to continue applying the medicine to him.

After applying the medicine, Qu Yi packed up his medical kit and said, "The higher-ups are organizing a team to go to Berkeley to conduct blood tests."

Yan Bei paused in his action of picking up the clothes: "And then?"

Qu Yi: "I am the captain."

Yan Bei clenched his fist: "How long will it take?"

Qu Yi: "Uncertain."

"Berkeley is dangerous. It's where the parasite race is most prevalent, and who knows what other unforeseen things might happen."

"I know."

"then you……"

“Yan Bei.” She cupped his face, forcing him to tilt his head back. “My father is the commander of the Seventh Legion of the Empire, and I am the vice president of Herist Academy. Protecting every citizen is my duty.”

Before he could frown and speak, she bent down and kissed his lips.

Yan Bei remained silent for a long time before finally sighing and saying, "Wearing my newly developed battle armor will greatly increase the chances of withstanding some damage."

"it is good."

When are you leaving?

"Three days later."

As if he had thought of something, his furrowed brows relaxed, he smiled again, and raised his arms to hold her slender waist tightly.

"We're leaving in three days, so... let's sleep together!"

The next second, she felt dizzy and, in the blink of an eye, she was lying on the bed, with Yan Bei holding her tightly beside her, as if afraid she would run away.

"Yan Bei!"

"If you keep struggling, it won't be as simple as just sleeping. Sister, please think carefully."

Some shameful memories flashed through her mind, and considering that she had to leave for Berkeley in a few days, Qu Yi wisely decided not to struggle anymore.

A faint smile appeared in Yan Bei's eyes, like a drop of spring water falling into a pool, creating ripples.

A month later.

At first, Qu Yi maintained daily contact with Yan Bei, but later, due to too many unexpected situations, she had no time to do anything else, as she spent every day dealing with parasites and searching for insectoids.

The later break in contact was because Qu Yi was injured.

The Zerg are indeed a powerful and cruel race. Not every human can be parasitized by the Zerg. They generally choose adult humans who are healthy, otherwise they simply cannot withstand the power of the Zerg.

But this time, the Zerg chose to parasitize an infant, a baby still in swaddling clothes. The mother was unaware that her child had been parasitized by the Zerg, and Qu Yi was attacked by this infant.

Octopus-like tentacles pierced her abdomen, their target her heart. Luckily, she reacted quickly and dodged, or she would have died on the spot.

Yan Bei sat on the sofa with a somber expression.

He was too worried about pleasing others.

He had a persistent, strong premonition that made him restless all day.

That night, he woke up from a dream and went to the balcony to get some fresh air. To his surprise, Qu Lianghan was still downstairs making a phone call. Perhaps the matter was too urgent, because he didn't even notice that Yan Bei had come out.

Yan Bei vaguely heard a few words.

Berkeley, parasite, baby, injury

The sudden call to Qu Lianghan must mean something has happened to Qu Yi.

He gripped the railing tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

As night deepened, the garage door opened, and a streak of silver light sped out.

Upon entering the school, Yan Bei went straight to the laboratory, used his researcher identity chip to open the laboratory door, and took away the weapon he had developed during this period.

He tossed the black box onto the passenger seat, and the vehicle sped away like a shattered ray of light in the darkness, quickly disappearing from sight.
