Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

The days back home were still not easy.

Besides coursework and papers, their experimental projects are also nearing completion.

Only the last item remains, which will be verified through actual testing.

It is said that a professional was sent from above to assist with the inspection.

When the person arrived, Su Ruan realized it was another acquaintance.

The soldier who used to be the doorman at the military hospital.

"Lieutenant Colonel...?"

Upon seeing Fu Xiao in his military uniform, Su Ruan was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.

This young man looks to be no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Although he has weathered many storms and his skin has a natural bronze tan, he is by no means an old man.

A lieutenant colonel in his early twenties—it's no exaggeration to say that he's already a legend in the military.

"You've come here to test this system?"

"Um."

Su Ruan remained silent.

Although she had guessed that the system they were currently developing might have military applications, she did not expect them to take it so seriously, sending such a young lieutenant colonel over.

"The system you've built will be working alongside us from now on. We need the most suitable data, and as the user, I undoubtedly have the most say in this matter."

Okay, that's a powerful explanation.

"From now on, I'll have to trouble Miss Su to take care of things!" Fu Xiao said solemnly.

Su Ruan quickly waved her hand.

"I'm just a data recorder on this project, but I'll do my best to cooperate with you if you need anything."

Fu Xiao smiled gently.

The burly man's smile was like spring water melting in the sun; Su Ruan couldn't help but smile as she looked at him.

"Miss Su is too modest," he said.

"I had already reviewed all the project materials before I came here."

Su Ruan blushed instantly.

She did indeed contribute a tiny bit to this project, thanks to that novel, and now she feels embarrassed whenever people mention it.

"Um, let's go to the lab first, the senior students are waiting."

Final adjustments are still being made in the lab.

She was sent out to greet the people sent from above because she was the least useful.

In the laboratory, Lu Yanci and everyone else were on high alert.

At this moment, Su Ruan had regained her poise and confidence.

Because she was very familiar with each experimental module, she naturally became Fu Xiao's guide.

Lu Yanci frowned slightly the moment he saw Fu Xiao.

He hadn't forgotten how excited Su Ruan was when she saw the soldier.

Especially considering that Fu Xiao is so young, so handsome, and has such a high military rank.

He's practically every woman's Prince Charming.

However, Lu Yanci didn't want to show anything.

Su Ruan was already quite troubled by how wary he was of Wen Yubai.

There is a lot of data to test, and some of it requires fine-tuning.

Lu Yanci and his entire team devoted themselves to this test.

Suzhou Software is no exception.

Aside from classes where attendance is mandatory, she spends almost all her time in the lab.

The unknown actor told her that the production team had finalized the details and he would be joining the crew soon. She simply told him to film well.

He also mentioned that there was an entertainment program he could arrange for her to try out, but Su Ruan refused outright.

"No time."

There is absolutely no time.

She's so busy she's going crazy.

"It won't be turned on until the weekend after next, no rush."

If you're not in a hurry, then you're not in a hurry.

"We'll talk about that later."

It was, after all, a small-time celebrity's kind gesture, so she couldn't refuse too outright.

"I know, you'll turn off your camera once you join the crew. Just focus on filming and don't worry about me. I'm waiting for you to become a big star so I can sell your autographed photos."

"it is good."

After four days of continuous work, all the data was finally debugged.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Ruan is the same.

She took a sip of water and walked towards the door.

But before I knew it, my legs gave way.

She thought she was going to fall, because in addition to her legs being weak, she was also feeling dizzy.

But the next moment, he was caught by a pair of strong arms.

"Thanks!"

It's Fu Xiao.

As expected of such a young lieutenant colonel, his reaction speed is truly exceptional.

Fu Xiao, however, did not let go for a long time.

Su Ruan looked up at him.

But she found that his gaze was fixed on the pendant that she had accidentally revealed.

Su Ruan pulled the pendant out.

"You recognize this?"

Fu Xiao belatedly realized what was happening and put Su Ruan down.

Then he nodded.

"I've seen it in old photos."

Su Ruan took off the pendant and handed it to Fu Xiao.

"Take another look."

Fu Xiao took it and examined it carefully. "I'm sure I've seen it before; it's exactly the same."

Su Ruan's heart skipped a beat.

She doesn't remember much, but in all her memories, she always wore this pendant on her chest.

I've always carried it with me since I was a child.

Logically speaking, not many people should have seen it.

Especially Fu Xiao, who has absolutely no connection to her.

"In which photo have you seen me?"

"I am your benefactor."

Fu Xiao spoke with difficulty.

His very first words were filled with boundless sorrow.

Su Ruan asked cautiously, "Is your benefactor still alive?"

Fu Xiao shook his head.

"He sacrificed himself to complete the mission and save his teammates."

Su Ruan felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart for no apparent reason.

She felt that she must have been affected by the emotions in Fu Xiao's words.

It's truly heartbreaking to see a good soldier sacrifice himself to complete his mission and save his teammates.

I'm sorry to have reminded you of the past.

Su Ruan apologized.

Fu Xiao shook his head. "No."

"I just want to ask, how did this pendant end up in your hands?"

Su Ruan took the pendant back.

"Maybe they just look alike."

"I've had this pendant for a long time."

Fu Xiao was silent for a while before slowly saying, "Grandma said that this pendant was a birthday gift from Grandpa to Father when he was a child, and it's one of a kind."

Su Ruan was shocked.

They began to digest the information in Fu Xiao's words.

In other words, the previous owner of this pendant was Fu Xiao's father?

"Could you be mistaken? Pendants are all similar, after all."

Fu Xiao shook his head. "I can't be wrong."

"This pendant appears in almost all of the photos my father left behind."

"Except for the last one."

The last one...

In other words, Fu Xiao was certain that the pendant had been worn around his father's neck for a long time, but was no longer around.

"But that doesn't prove anything."

"Yeah, it doesn't prove anything."

Fu Xiao said this, but he seemed to have some ideas and hadn't given up.

"May I take a picture of you with this pendant?"

Su Ruan really wanted to refuse.

But she wanted to know the truth even more.

She wanted to know everything about herself.

Whether it was something she didn't know in the first place, or something she forgot due to amnesia.

After Fu Xiao finished taking the photos and didn't know who to send them to, Lu Yanci came over.

"Ruanruan, should we go to the hospital first?"

"You've been working too hard lately."

Su Ruan also thought so.

Although she has started eating more freely now, she is also burning a lot of calories, so her plan to gain weight has not been successful.

"I'll let..."

She wanted to ask her senior brother, Wen Yubai, to prescribe some medicine for her, but then changed her mind and said, "I'll prescribe some medicine for myself later."

Lu Yanci's eyes darkened.

He did cause trouble for Su Ruan.

"Actually..." he hesitated, then stopped.
