When Ah Qi came over that night, Lu Yao was standing in front of the porthole, looking at the dark starry sky outside.

She didn't turn around when she heard the door open.

Ah Qi placed the tray on the small table, walked to her side, and followed her gaze to the window.

"What is your sister looking at?" he asked, tilting his head.

Lu Yao did not answer.

Ah Qi wasn't annoyed and said to himself, "There's nothing outside, it's pitch black, what's there to see?"

He took the plate to his own side and thoughtfully divided the steak for Lu Yao.

"I wonder if you'd like to know anything about General Fu and Actor Xie, sister?" he said, placing a slice of steak in front of Lu Yao, gesturing, "Shall we talk while we eat?"

Lu Yao picked up the knife and fork in front of her and quietly ate a bite of steak.

When Ah Qi saw that she was willing to eat what he had prepared, his eyes curved into crescents and his smile became even brighter.

"You're such a good sister." He rested his chin on his hand, looking at her as if she were a precious treasure. "I love it when you're like this, sister."

Lu Yao swallowed the food in her mouth, looked up at him, and asked, "You just said you had news about them?"

Ah Qi blinked, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense: "Sister really cares about them."

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine." Lu Yao lowered her head and continued eating her steak.

Ah Qi quickly leaned closer: "Tell me, tell me! If you want to know, of course I'll tell you!"

He cleared his throat. "Fu Ciyan has already located the temporary air station and is leading his men in this direction. They're moving quite fast; no wonder he's the Federation's youngest general. If we hadn't changed our course at the last minute, he really would have caught up with us. Xie Yingdi's team is also keeping track, and they're quite efficient too. What should we do? I'm really worried that they'll find us, and then I'll lose you again?"

Lu Yao tightened her grip on the knife and fork slightly.

Ah Qi noticed her subtle movements and smiled, "But don't worry, sister. Our starship uses the most advanced stealth system. They can only track us in a general direction. By the time they actually find a clue, we'll have already entered the outer star system. Once we get there, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

His tone was undisguisedly malicious, as if he didn't care at all about revealing his thoughts to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao gripped the knife in her hand and suddenly stabbed out when A Qi wasn't paying attention.

The blade grazed past Ah Qi's arm, and blood flowed out the moment he blocked it.

Blood flowed down his pale arm, appearing particularly glaring under the light.

Ah Qi looked down at his wound, then looked up at Lu Yao.

His expression was very calm at that moment.

"Sister, are you murdering your husband?"

Although he said that, there was no emotion in his tone.

Lu Yao remained seated in her chair, the knife lying on the floor. She knew she had acted impulsively, but she didn't regret it; she only regretted that the knife wasn't sharp enough.

Ah Qi's nasty tone just now, as if she were already his possession, disgusted her utterly.

"Stay away from me." Her voice trembled, but she tried her best to remain calm.

Ah Qi looked at her and suddenly laughed.

The smile was faint, devoid of its usual innocence and playfulness, and the earlier wicked mockery; it was merely a slight curve of the lips.

"Sister," he whispered, "do you know that no one has ever dared to treat me like this before?"

Lu Yao didn't speak and turned her head away, no longer looking at him.

Ah Qi looked down at his still-bleeding arm, casually grabbed a napkin from the side, and slowly wrapped it around his arm.

His movements were practiced, as if he had done this countless times before.

"I grew up on the edge of the planet," he said while bandaging his wound, his tone as calm as if he were telling someone else's story. "There were no rules, no laws, only the survival of the fittest. I've been killing or being killed since I can remember."

Lu Yao's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Ah Qi raised his head and looked at her.

"Sister, do you know that all those who wanted to kill me are dead? But you will be the exception. Even if you want to kill me, I don't want to hurt you, but your Zhou Jinlu will have to take the punishment for you."

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Lu Yao suddenly stood up and grabbed him: "What are you going to do to him?"

Ah Qi stopped and looked down at Lu Yao holding his hand.

His hand trembled slightly, his fingertips turning white. He looked up, meeting Lu Yao's anxious dark eyes, and curled his lips into a smile: "Of course, we should treat him well."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and half-encircled Lu Yao in his arms: "Sister hurt me, but I don't want to hurt you. Young Master Zhou is someone you care about, so he should be punished for you, right? But don't worry, sister, I won't kill him. I'll just hang him up, whip him a few times, and then throw him into salt water to disinfect him."

Lu Yao's pupils suddenly contracted.

"You dare!"

Ah Qi tilted his head and looked at her, a wicked smile in his eyes: "Besides not being able to bear hurting my sister, what wouldn't I dare to do?"

"What do you want in return for letting him go? If you need me to apologize, I can..." Her words were cut off by Ah Qi's outstretched hand.

"Sister, don't plead for him, or I'll get even angrier," he said, lowering his head to kiss Lu Yao's cheek. "Unless you're willing to coax me."

Lu Yao remained stiff and did not resist.

Ah Qi noticed her stiffness, chuckled softly, and moved his lips away from her cheek, but didn't move away. Instead, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sister, you know what? The more you hold back like this, the more I want to tease you."

Lu Yao's eyelashes trembled slightly as she relented, "How do you want me to coax you?"

"Kiss me, just like I kissed you just now." His eyes held a certain persistence and expectation.

Lu Yao looked at him without saying a word.

Ah Qi wasn't in a hurry, so he just waited until Lu Yao gave in and pushed him down onto the sofa.

Lu Yao sat on his lap, reached out and pinched his chin, leaned in and kissed his lips.

Just like Ah Qi's forceful kiss before, Lu Yao's kiss was equally forceful and domineering.

She tightened her grip on his chin slightly, forcing him to tilt his head back and accept the kiss he had asked for.

Ah Qi's eyes widened instantly, not expecting Lu Yao to do this.

It was quickly replaced by excitement.

Lu Yao's kiss was anything but gentle; it was more like a bite than a kiss.

She pressed her tongue against his lips, forcefully prying open his teeth and wreaking havoc in his mouth.

Ah Qi didn't resist, or even move. He just tilted his head back and let her do whatever she wanted.

His breathing gradually quickened, his Adam's apple bobbed, but his hands remained firmly wrapped around her waist.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yao finally released him, stepped back slightly, and her breathing became erratic.

Blood stained her lips, whether his or her own, she couldn't tell. Her chest heaved, and her clear black and white eyes welled with tears, yet she spoke coldly: "Is that enough?"
