Chapter 6: Come, Kiss Me!

Chapter 6: Come, Kiss Me!

Originally, with an alibi proving his innocence, Lu Heng should have been released immediately.

However, Gong Chusheng's family held considerable influence and had been pressuring the Enforcement Team.

Even with the alibi, Lu Heng was detained for half a day and was only released around noon.

Since it was the weekend, Su Muyu wanted to go home after her release.

The two parted ways parted.

As Lu Heng watched her leave, he thought about how her life had already changed, and perhaps they would never cross paths again.

In his previous life, Su Muyu's life was ruined when she became paralyzed from the waist down after jumping off a building.

It was only then that they met and became teammates.

In this life, Su Muyu didn't break her leg, and the person who wanted to humiliate her was no longer in this world. Her life wouldn't be as full of hardships as it was in her previous life.

With her academic performance, she could get into a good university.

If she awakened in the future, her achievements would likely surpass those of her past life.

The butterfly effect had begun from the moment he saved her.

Moreover, their feelings were misplaced.

In Lu Heng's heart, Su Muyu was a partner he shared life and death with, and he even once wanted to cross the boundaries of friendship.

However, for the current Su Muyu, Lu Heng was just a classmate she had known for a short time. Perhaps, in her heart, he didn't even qualify as a friend.

Therefore, Lu Heng wasn't sure if they would ever cross paths again, but no matter what the future held, he hoped she would live a good life.

...

The next two days were the weekend, and Lu Heng stayed in the budget hotel, practicing the Seven-Segment Sword Technique diligently.

After practicing the Seven-Segment Sword Technique for many days, the proficiency of the second-tier 'Mastery Level' of swordsmanship had reached 1895/2000, and he was not far from reaching the next tier.

It was Sunday evening, time for dinner.

Lu Heng went downstairs to find a place to eat and saw Su Muyu at the hotel entrance.

She was carrying her school bag and holding a lunch box, just standing there at the entrance.

When she saw Lu Heng coming out, she raised her hand to greet him but hesitated.

Lu Heng walked over and calmly asked, "Is there something you need?"

Su Muyu held up the lunch box and said, "I brought some dumplings for you, in case you haven't eaten yet..."

"Come up," Lu Heng said, turning and heading upstairs.

In the room, Su Muyu touched the lunch box, still warm, and quickly opened it, arranging the dumplings on the table. She also took a small dish and poured some vinegar.

Lu Heng picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the vinegar, and slowly put it in his mouth.

Tasting the dumpling, a hint of a smile appeared in Lu Heng's eyes.

The flavor was just as he remembered.

If he had to point out a difference, it was a touch of youthfulness.

Although she didn't say it, Lu Heng knew she had made the dumplings herself, and they were generously filled, tasting better than those bought outside.

Su Muyu pointed at the dumplings in the lunch box and introduced them, "The white ones are cabbage and pork, the green ones are chives, and these are shiitake mushroom and pork..."

"Have you eaten?" Lu Heng asked after finishing most of the dumplings.

Su Muyu shook her head, "Not yet..."

Dumplings weren't tasty when cold, so she had brought them right after making them.

Lu Heng passed the chopsticks to her, "I'm full; you can have the rest."

Su Muyu smiled slightly, took the chopsticks, and started eating with her head down.

Although it was just a meal of dumplings, it was more lavish than her usual meals.

After she finished eating, Lu Heng began to talk about serious matters:

"Regarding the incident the day before yesterday, you don't need to feel indebted to me. You've already repaid this favor. If you have any thoughts of repaying the kindness, there's no need. You can act as if nothing happened."

Su Muyu kept her head down, her fingers nervously twisting the corner of her clothes. After a while, she asked, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Ask," Lu Heng nodded.

"That night, was the black monster that appeared real? My mind was in a daze at the time, and I might have hallucinated." Su Muyu had been thinking about that night for the past two days, but she couldn't find any scientific explanation for what happened.

Lu Heng replied calmly, "It's real."

Su Muyu's eyes narrowed, and her breathing quickened, "What kind of monster is that?"

Lu Heng paused for a moment before asking, "From this moment on, can you keep what I say a secret? Unless I agree, you must not reveal it to a third person."

Su Muyu nodded seriously, "Okay."

If it were anyone else, Lu Heng would never have revealed these secrets.

But Su Muyu was different; she was a trusted companion, and so she had an extra measure of trust from the future.

Lu Heng organized his thoughts and began to answer her questions, "That black monster is called a Shadow Demon, a creature from the Abyssal Plane."

"These creatures have appeared all over the world, but not in large numbers, and the officials are suppressing the news, so it hasn't attracted widespread attention yet."

If someone had told her this three days ago, she would have thought they were crazy.

Now she knew that everything Lu Heng said was true.

Su Muyu paused for a moment, then continued with her questions, "Regarding the case of Gong Chusheng, will it still be traced back to us in the future?"

Lu Heng slowly shook his head, "It's hard to say. This person has a powerful background, and there might be more trouble. However, you don't need to worry. If you don't want to be involved again, just go back and focus on your studies."

"In the future, no matter who asks you, just say you don't know. I assure you that even if they find out, they will only trace it back to me and not involve you."

Su Muyu's expression froze, and she bowed her head, feeling a little sad, "I... I didn't mean it that way... This whole thing started because of me, and you were just dragged into it by me."

In their previous life, Lu Heng and Su Muyu were teammates, fighting side by side and facing life and death together.

In this life, Lu Heng was also willing to be her teammate, but her life experiences had already changed, and she might not want to live that kind of life on the edge anymore.

In her previous life, she didn't have a choice, but in this life, she had the opportunity to choose.

So, Lu Heng wouldn't force her to walk the same path.

Lu Heng paused for a moment, then asked, "You came to see me, not just to bring me dumplings, right? Is there something else?"

"I... I..."

Su Muyu wanted to say something but stopped, eventually lowering her head and saying, "I don't know, but when I see you, my heart doesn't feel so anxious."

After all, the case of Gong Chusheng and the four others started because of her, so she had been worried all weekend, fearing that the Enforcement Team would suddenly show up at her door.

It wasn't until she saw Lu Heng at the hotel entrance that her anxious heart finally found some peace.

Lu Heng paused for a moment, then said, "I also have a few questions for you, and I want you to answer them honestly."

"Okay," Su Muyu nodded.

"First question, if you encounter a monster like the one from the other night, would you be afraid?"

"I would be scared if I were alone, but if you were there, I probably wouldn't be as frightened."

"Second question, if I take you to find that kind of monster, would you dare to go?"

Su Muyu froze for a moment, hesitated for a while, then nodded and answered, "I dare!"

"Third question, can you obey orders absolutely? Without asking for reasons or questioning the outcome, you will do whatever I tell you."

This request was a bit excessive.

However, Su Muyu didn't hesitate much and agreed, "I can."

Seeing her straightforward response, Lu Heng was a little surprised and gave a slightly over-the-top command, "Come, kiss me."

Hearing this command, Su Muyu froze, her face turning red in an instant.

"Huh?"

"No questions asked, absolute obedience," Lu Heng emphasized.

Su Muyu's heart was in turmoil as she clutched her clothes, breathing rapidly from the tension, but she still moved closer and slowly closed her eyes...

Lu Heng watched as her face inched closer, noticing the slight tremble of her eyelashes as she closed her eyes, and her lips quivering with tension.

Seeing her inner struggle, Lu Heng found it amusing but decided to let her off the hook, "I was just joking."

Su Muyu felt like she had been pardoned, her chest heaving as she breathed heavily.

Her heart had been pounding, and the little deer in her chest almost jumped out.
