The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 107 Picking up people
The huge airship landed on the helipad of Sentinel Academy.

As soon as the cabin door opened, a professional medical team from the Duke of Ned's family came up to take Ireland, who was still in a coma.

After them, other people came to pick up their children one after another.

Lin Nan saw Huo Sen among the crowd of people waiting to pick him up at the airport.

He stood there, his posture erect, his calm, tall, and mature demeanor particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Today, he wasn't dressed elegantly as usual, but rather casually with his suit jacket draped over his arm. His white shirt was a little wrinkled, and his tie had been pulled somewhere, leaving the collar of his shirt open, revealing his Adam's apple.

When he saw her get off the airship, he paused as he was about to light a cigarette, then put the thing in his pocket and walked towards her.

Lin Nan realized that she seemed to always see this person after some event was over, like a head of a family, appearing on time after the child had gone through hardships, to provide shelter and comfort.

Lin Nan suddenly missed his family on the ancient blue star.

She was an orphan since childhood and was adopted by a kind family when she was young. Although she didn't know who her biological parents were, the family gave her all their love.

Later, when she grew up, she went to another province to attend high school. Her family could not take care of her, so they entrusted her to her adoptive mother's younger brother, her nominal uncle - Lin Nian.

Her adoptive parents were not very old, so Lin Nian was naturally not old either. In her impression, he seemed tall and reliable, silently taking care of all her daily life. He was responsible for almost everything from her clothes and personal belongings to parent-teacher meetings at school since she was a child.

She grew up with that taciturn man from the age of 15 until she graduated from college and started working.

Lin Nan also watched him become more stable and mature year after year.

After graduating from university, Lin Nian started a business with others to develop a new AI system. Perhaps because the company grew bigger and bigger, the burden on him gradually became heavier, and his temper gradually became irritable.

Her most direct feeling was that Lin Nian interfered with her more and more. After growing up, he seemed to dislike everything about her and lost his temper at her from time to time.

She is not allowed to eat outside, wear revealing clothes, or have a relationship... Even if there are student dormitories in the university, he wants her to live at home all the time.

He was familiar with all her class schedules and would call her at a fixed time every day. If she answered the phone a little late, she would have a hard time when she returned home that day.

The man would not beat her, nor would he mistreat her in any way. On the contrary, he gave her an incomparably rich material life. As her uncle's company grew bigger and bigger, the family became richer and richer. Every once in a while, someone would come to her house and deliver a bunch of brand-name clothes, jewelry, and bags.

He raised her well, but when Lin Nan faced the increasingly piled-up luxury goods in her room alone, her heart gradually began to panic. Even as slow-witted as she was, she seemed to slowly understand the man's intentions...

So rejection and disgust quietly grew from the bottom of her heart and spread rapidly like weeds breaking through the ground.

Until that day, late at night, she was sleeping at home. In a daze in the middle of the night, she seemed to feel that there was someone next to her. That person was drinking. A strong and pungent smell of alcohol penetrated her nostrils, stimulating her nerves slightly.

The man sat at the head of her bed, gently stroking her face with one hand, from her forehead, eyebrows, nose, lips... and finally slowly moving downwards.

The night light was too dark. Lin Nan couldn't see his expression clearly. She only knew his heavy breathing, suppressed like a ferocious beast...

Lin Nan felt an unprecedented fear. That very night, she packed up and left the house. She seemed to realize it was her fault. From that day on, Lin Nian never messaged her again. Later, Lin Nan graduated and, through her own hard work, found a job. From then on, she devoted herself to her work and became a busy "social animal."

Every day, she commuted between the office and her rental apartment, using her busy schedule to numb herself. During the holidays, her parents back home would always call, asking about her well-being and repeatedly asking her to come home for a few days to reunite.

However, as soon as she heard that Lin Nian would also go back, she would not hesitate to use the excuse of being busy with work to shirk her responsibility.

Later, she heard that he was finally willing to get engaged, and it was a blind date arranged by his family. Upon hearing this news, the string in Lin Nan's heart that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed a little.

But not long after, she was hit by a car on her way home from working overtime...

Then, she came into this world.

Lin Nan watched the man in front of her slowly approaching, her consciousness a little dazed.

She seemed to see Lin Nian again. That man was the same. Every day when she got out of school, he would appear at the school gate without fail. When she walked out of the school gate, he would also walk towards her calmly and reservedly...

"What's wrong? Are you still not coming back to your senses?"

Huo Sen was already standing in front of Lin Nan. Seeing that she looked uneasy, he frowned.

Lin Nan finally collected his thoughts and quickly cheered himself up, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. I just didn't get enough rest, so I'm a little sleepy."

Huo Sen carefully scanned her facial features, and finally his gaze fell on the bloodstain on her shoulder. His green eyes instantly became sharp.

"Didn't enter the diagnostic apparatus?"

"Ah, uh, well... the space is a little off. I only have minor injuries anyway, they'll heal in a couple of days."

The man remained silent for a while before opening the terminal and making a call to someone. He said simply, "Well, prepare a diagnostic device. I'll bring someone over right away."

After saying that, he turned around and motioned Lin Nan to follow him. Lin Nan should have known where he was taking her. After hesitating for a moment, she followed him.

Behind him, Caesar and Lan Yin came out of the airship cabin and watched Huo Sen take their guide away. Caesar sneered angrily, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

But there were too many people at the scene, and they no longer had the opportunity to make a move. In this country, there are clear legal documents that prohibit sentries from contacting guides privately. If they were in the wild, they might be able to find an opportunity and secretly gain some benefits, but now that they have entered the central area, the situation has become tricky.

Lan Yin crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyes fixed on Lin Nan's receding figure for a long time.

He seemed to still retain the warmth of their recent intimacy, a warmth that lingered like a magic. Desire was an addiction. If it hadn't been experienced before, it would have been fine. But once he had it, the feeling would quickly take root, burrowing deep into his bones, tormenting him endlessly.

This time, he didn't advise those around him to stay calm and not be impatient as usual. Instead, he lowered his brows and gaze, and began to ponder the dirty thoughts in his heart...
