O Pretends to be B For The Violent Admiral

ed and spewed nonsense with his eyes wide open.

“You know him quite well.” Lucas raised his eyebrows at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi couldn’t stop mentally rolling his eyes.
This guy Lucas examined him up and down the moment he stepped through the door and even plainly showed ‘this is it?’ on his face.
He didn’t hide his scrutiny at all.

As if he would steal away his Secretary Luo.

Annoying.

Xia Zhi decided to remind this muddled, vinegar-chugging lion in front of him that he was old enough to be their father.
“Admiral, we’ve met before when you were young.
Do you remember?” He asked with a smile.

Lucas paused.
“Hn.”

In the past, Xia Zhi and Shen Xiluo followed the former Admiral – that is, Lucas’ uncle – as doctors on the battlefield.
Although he didn’t have much contact with the two doctors, he still remembered them.

Before the two could talk more, Luo Ran slowly woke up and looked around suspiciously.

“Xiaxia…?”

“Ah, I’m here.” Xia Zhi rubbed Luo Ran’s shoulders and smiled.
“You’re…”

“You’re alright!” Lucas’ voice was thunderous.

Xia Zhi: “…”

Luo Ran, startled, turned to find that Lucas was also present.

“Admiral…”

As Luo Ran struggled to sit up, Xia Zhi subconsciously reached over to support him… but another person’s hand suddenly intercepted him.

Their two hands simultaneously froze in midair.

Luo Ran felt it was strange yet funny.
He got up by himself, then tidied his messy hair and collar.
“How long was I unconscious?”

Xia Zhi: “Not…”

Lucas: “Not long! Half an hour.”

Xia Zhi: “…”

Luo Ran: “…”

Luo Ran subconsciously glanced at Xia Zhi.

What’s going on?

Lucas ate the wrong medicine while he slept?

Xia Zhi was helpless.
“Since Ranran’s fine…”

“Then I’ll send him back,” Lucas interrupted.

Saying so, Lucas immediately pulled Lup Ran to his feet and they left Xia Zhi’s house after Luo Ran received his medicine.

Xia Zhi opened and closed his mouth, helpless.

He had some private matters to discuss with Luo Ran, but talking over the terminal was fine too.

On the hovercar, Luo Ran received his message.

{Ranran, today Shen Xiluo told me the admiral went to him to investigate you.}

Luo Ran’s heart skipped a beat.

{Investigate what.}

{Nothing critical, I’m just saying so you’re aware.
The admiral asked Shen Xiluo if he knew you had claustrophobia, maybe because he thinks Shen Xiluo and I still talk.
He also asked if you have any other problems.
He might’ve thought you acted weirdly that day? That was the time you were in heat, right?}

Luo Ran couldn’t quite believe it.

Was Lucas so idle? He still remembered what happened that day?

{And then?}

{No ‘and then’.
Shen Xiluo didn’t know anything, he said everything was normal.
Plus he assured the admiral that nothing would happen since you have me as your doctor.}

Luo Ran paused.
He didn’t think Lucas was the type of person who had to get to the bottom of other people’s affairs.

{He… Does he suspect something?}

{…}

{Probably not, I think he’s just worried about you.}

Luo Ran secretly decided to be more careful next time.

Although…

His eyes landed on the sentence ‘he thinks Shen Xiluo and I still talk’, not knowing if he wanted to laugh or cry.

As if they didn’t talk.

But on the other hand, Shen Xiluo probably sent this information to Xia Zhi on his own initiative.
When he previously met Shen Xiluo at the medical department, that calm, rational alpha ran to him and seriously asked him to say a few good words about himself to Xia Zhi.

Later, Lucas explained the overall situation to Luo Ran.

As he rested on the soft seat, Luo Ran chomped on a tube of nutrient solution and said, “I didn’t eat or drink anything today, but I’ve been in contact with a lot of people.
However, the only ones who were close to me for a long time were His Royal Highness the First Prince and Xie Ancheng.
In this case, we can start by investigating Xie Ancheng.
Although the stimulant itself isn’t a big deal, it’s important to know who buys it and where they get it.”

“You don’t need to care about this,” Lucas said with a completely blank face.
“I’ll do it personally.”

“Admiral, this may involve…”

“Shut up,” Lucas said coldly.

Luo Ran froze. Huh?

He’d felt something strange from the start.

After a moment of silence, Luo Ran threw the empty nutrient solution into the trash can and asked warmly, “Is Admiral… angry with me?”

Lucas saw a pair of watery eyes as soon as he turned his head.

He stared at Luo Ran as he said, “Someone drugged you, then you almost fell into danger.
You think this isn’t a serious concern?”

Luo Ran was now completely focused on how to find the source of the drugs.

His mind was filled with work.

“…” Luo Ran paused a beat, then tentatively asked, “Is it serious?”

Lucas: “…”

He immediately explained, “No… I mean, I won’t fall into their schemes so easily.
Even if I’m caught off guard like today, I wouldn’t be in critical danger.
There are very few people who can forcefully suppress me like you.
Like tonight, even if Admiral hadn’t arrived in time, I’d contact the guards outside and not allow myself to be caught alone.”

Not to mention that Luo Ran’s pheromones were ranked at SSS, so apart from Lucas, barely anybody could make him unable to fight back.

At the end, he added, “Admiral doesn’t need to worry.”

Lucas: “…”

Lucas felt he might have a heart attack.

“Okay, okay!” Lucas snorted a few times, then simply used his terminal to stop the hovercar.

So this small personal hovercar abruptly landed in the middle of the road.

“I know you don’t need me, so you won’t need me to send you home or whatever either.
You scram and call a ride or walk home yourself,” Lucas said.

Luo Ran: “…”

Luo Ran gave an “oh” and got up to open the hatch.

Lucas: “????”

Luo Ran got off the hovercar, stood in the middle of the road, and looked around.

It was now late night.
The whole place was dead quiet and all the shops along the road had long closed their doors, but the street lights were still bright.

Luo Ran walked to the door of a closed shop and took out his terminal to call a car.

Bang——！

The next moment, a sharp light flashed across Luo Ran’s eyes, then he was harshly shoved into a wall behind him.
The aggressively sharp scent of tobacco made him fall into a momentary daze.

At some point, Lucas also got off the hovercar, and trapped Luo Ran in his arms.

Luo Ran felt helpless.
Lucas seemed to enjoy clasping his wrists together and pressing them above his head; maybe he thought the action was very intimidating and could stop him from resisting.

Resist my ass, Luo Ran thought.

“Admiral… although it’s late, someone will see if they pass by,” he reminded him.

“You stop talking, I get angry every time you speak.”

“Then will Admiral tell me why you are angry?” Luo Ran asked, very seriously.
“I can’t help you if you keep it to yourself.”

Lucas stared hard at Luo Ran.

In the brightly lit night, rays of moonlight softly fell on Luo Ran’s silver hair and cast small shadows below his long lashes, where a single teardrop hung.

The two stood in front of the shop for a long while.
Finally, Lucas let go of Luo Ran and turned away.
“Go back with me.”

Luo Ran followed him.

Just as he was about to step into the hovercar, Lucas, with his back towards Luo Ran, said, “The next time something’s wrong, you can come find me.
I’ll try my best to do whatever you ask.”

Luo Ran stared blankly at Lucas.

When he turned and saw Luo Ran still in a daze, Lucas scowled.
“Still not coming in?”

Luo Ran stepped up, smiling.
“Admiral is very different from before.”

Lucas shot him a quizzical look.

Very emotionally, he said, “You’ve found a conscience.”

“…”

Lucas gritted his teeth.
“I treated you very badly before?”

“Not at all.”

Luo Ran paused, then lowered his eyes with a smile.
“You are very good to me…”

His voice sank into the silent night.
