CHAPTER 18: CHAPTER 18: YOU ARE MY SALVATION

"Thinking about..." Su Ruan drew out her words.

At just that moment, Lu Shinian carried her to the sofa.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Ruan flipped over, pinning Lu Shinian beneath her.

"Thinking about how to devour you!"

Su Ruan pretended to be fierce, the slightly upturned corners of her eyes unexpectedly laced with allure.

The light blue short skirt was drawn up a bit due to her posture, barely covering her hips, revealing her fair and slender thighs.

Her skin glowed softly white under the light, contrasting with his large hand clasped around her slim waist, creating a fragile, delicate impression.

The sofa was soft, the light above was dazzling, and the living room was empty yet vast, making it an ideal place.

Lu Shinian’s lips curved slightly as he adjusted his posture a bit, allowing Su Ruan to sit more comfortably, then chuckled lowly, "So, how does Ruan Ruan plan to devour me? Hmm?"

The sexy nasal tone inherently had a seductive quality, making Su Ruan’s ears feel tingly and slightly strange.

She rubbed her ears, the earlobes tinged with a faint pink.

"Well, first it should be like this."

As she spoke, she reached out to unbutton Lu Shinian’s uniform.

Lu Shinian must have just returned from the battlefield; he was still wearing the commander’s uniform. The pure black uniform had the unique gilt edges of a commander’s attire, and the maple leaf emblem on the shoulder symbolized the supreme glory and invincibility of the Federation Empire.

Clearly, he was in a subservient position, yet the imposing aura seemed to declare that his mere existence was enough to constitute an indestructible world.

The aura of a strong man surrounded Su Ruan, making her fingertips tremble slightly, with hidden undercurrents swirling in the depths of her eyes.

Her hair, originally tied up, fell loose due to the previous excessive movement, cascading over her shoulders, her slightly long bangs half-covering her eyes, making it difficult for Lu Shinian to fully see the expression in her eyes from his angle.

Su Ruan lightly pressed her lips together.

With a gentle flick of her fingertips, the first button was undone, revealing a glimpse of Lu Shinian’s sensuous Adam’s apple moving up and down.

The slightly pink fingertips against the black created a strong visual contrast, stimulating Lu Shinian and affecting Su Ruan.

As the second button was undone, Su Ruan suddenly paused, and then she unexpectedly fell into Lu Shinian’s embrace.

She buried her head near his neck, secretly, almost greedily, pressing closer to his skin.

"I really seem to not be a good person," she said softly, "Lu Shinian, I’m a bad person."

Lu Shinian gently patted Su Ruan’s back, his fingertips sliding down her spine, finally resting at the hollow of her waist, his thin lips slightly parted, "I’m not a good person either."

To have reached this position, how could my hands truly be clean?

The Federation’s internal structure is complex and chaotic; standing firm at the top position can’t be done through just and honorable means.

Who knows how much blood these hands have been stained with.

"Ruan Ruan is a little villain, and I’m the big villain," he laughed lowly, his voice carrying an inexplicable bewitching tone, "A villain matched with a villain isn’t it just perfect?"

His left hand interlocked tightly with Su Ruan’s right, his voice carrying a rare hint of joy, "Ruan Ruan, the reason I haven’t turned into an even worse villain is because you redeemed me."

"In my eyes, Ruan Ruan is never a villain but my little salvation."

Su Ruan lightly nuzzled Lu Shinian’s neck, her eyes filled with a bit of longing, and said softly, "You are my salvation."

In the many years in the Otherworld, it was all thanks to the name "Lu Shinian" that she had held on and survived.
