Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

"Hmm, since you've put it that way, I guess I'll have to take this opportunity to bully you a bit~"

The two parties involved knew the details perfectly well. Su Wanxi pinched her cheek, turned around, and locked the door from the inside.

As the woman's hand approached her collar, Gu Cheng panicked: "...What are you going to do?"

"you guess."

One button at a time, she unbuttoned her blue-gray cardigan, revealing her fair and delicate skin underneath. A bra with white lace trim supported her two breasts. Gu Cheng tilted her head back, and one could vaguely glimpse her proudly erect cleavage in those dark eyes.

Undressing inevitably involves physical contact, and the girl felt her body was burning hot; her delicate collarbone was already flushed.

"Su Wanwan, it's not really appropriate for you to be here..."

Grasping the hand that was misbehaving against the edge of her pantyhose, Gu Cheng's voice was barely a whisper.

"Aren't you uncomfortable?" Su Wanxi asked her in return, while gently scraping her upturned buttocks with her fingers through the stockings. The girl, whose sensitive area was being attacked, suddenly trembled slightly, biting her pink lips tightly with her pearly teeth, and her earlobes became even more luscious.

This is a hospital, how could this be... Gu Cheng gripped Su Wanxi's hand tightly, her face full of conflict.

"It hurts, but not now... eh?" Before she could finish speaking, Su Wanxi forcefully ripped off her pantyhose and then quickly stripped off her underwear. The girl, left with only a set of close-fitting underwear, pitifully tried to shrink into the blankets.

Seeing this, Su Wanxi sighed helplessly and pointed to her knee: "You seem to have misunderstood something." Only then did Gu Cheng notice a set of blue and white hospital gowns on the other's lap, neatly arranged like a block of tofu.

"I'm just worried that you'll be uncomfortable sleeping in your coat. We'll need to fix your ribcage later, so please change your clothes as soon as possible."

Su Wanxi put her hand behind Gu Cheng's back and gently put on her coat, glancing at her casually as if mocking her lover for having so much lewd nonsense in her head.

Gu Cheng was already caught between a rock and a hard place from her teasing, and this time she immediately lost her temper, pulling at her sleeves and hugging Su Wanxi tightly, her lips gently nibbling at the earlobe that was so close to hers.

Don't think you're the only one who knows this trick.

Feeling a warm, moist sensation near her ear, Su Wanxi's gaze darkened slightly. She patted the bed, signaling Gu Cheng to lift her hips.

"Has someone forgotten that they are still a patient?"

Gu Cheng obediently did as she was told, her fair feet slipping into her waistband and her arms wrapping around the woman's neck like snakes.

"Hmm, of course I know." Precisely because he was a patient, she was certain that the other party was afraid of hurting her and wouldn't dare to make any big moves. In other words, he was spoiled and arrogant.

Su Wanxi listened thoughtfully, then quickly helped the girl get dressed, turned around and went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth, before putting a piece of chewing gum in her mouth before entering the room.

Soup dumplings are too oily; she didn't want to give her girlfriend a bad kissing experience.

"Hey, Su Wan..."

Before he could react, Su Wanxi leaned down and kissed those two thin lips fiercely. Gu Cheng had finally paid the price for his actions.

Their breathing gradually became heavy, their lips and teeth entangled in a blur. Worried that the pressure would hurt her chest, Su Wanxi could only support herself with her hands on the sheets, a faint fragrance wafting into her nose.

Wanwan smells so good.

As they kissed, Gu Cheng didn't want to let go, and her fingers unconsciously rested on Su Wanxi's shoulder.

If they kept kissing, things would really get heated... The woman got up just in time, a glittering silver thread flashed by, Gu Cheng's face turned even redder, and she shrank her head back under the covers.

Chapter 286, Section 291: *Sobbing* I don't have any.

The hospital bed was missing a kitten, but now it had a ball of white cotton, which would occasionally twitch around. Her son, Orange, was just too shy; even a little teasing would make him too embarrassed to be seen.

Su Wanxi spoke softly, her thin lips almost pressed into a straight line.

"Are you a groundhog? You like burying yourself so much."

As the woman spoke, she tucked Gu Cheng's scattered brown hair into the blankets, then carefully tucked the corners of the blankets in. Feeling that the light was blocked and she couldn't see anything with her right eye, the girl rubbed against the mattress a few times in dissatisfaction.

"You might as well suffocate me."

Su Wanxi gently rubbed Gu Cheng's head through the quilt, then leaned down and whispered, "No, I can't bear to."

The lingering, sweet, and languid melody, like the gentle summer rain during the plum rain season, falls softly onto a lake, creating ripples upon ripples.

Gu Cheng heard the thumping of her heart in her chest. A few strands of hair fell to her lips. She reached out to brush them away, but felt a burning heat all over her body. Just then, a soft hand reached into the blankets and gently grasped the wrist that was pressed against her neck and shoulder.

"Because I can't bear to part with you, I will hold onto you anytime, anywhere."

Su Wanxi spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone exceptionally serious. Gu Cheng felt like her head was exploding with fireworks.

Waaah, Su Wanxi... She must have saved the whole world in her past life to find such a perfect girl who dotes on her.

"Wanwan..."

"Ok?"

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she hesitated for a moment before pulling back the blanket covering her head. Her cheeks were covered with a light mist, whether from shyness or simply from being covered for too long. Her delicate and lovely skin was fair and rosy under the light.

Su Wanxi suddenly wanted to rub her hand against the other person's face, but seeing the other person's serious expression, she temporarily suppressed the urge.

"Su Wanwan, I'm actually not that happy right now." Gu Cheng sat up, her slender, fair waist barely concealed by the oversized hospital gown.

"After you left, I went to the Soviet Union with Jiang Xuewei and the others—Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, St. Petersburg... I spent most of my time practicing shooting or developing supernatural abilities. At that time, I craved revenge. Apart from thinking about you from time to time, everything else was focused on preparing to kill Lin Shusheng..."

“An A-level Awakener, practically an all-powerful edicter. I have no clue how to kill him. Su Wanwan, you are at the same level as him, so you should know that this nominal difference in rank represents a world of difference.”

Su Wanxi listened silently, gently placing her hand on Gu Cheng's back and stroking her back softly.

“But this morning, he became unusually vulnerable in our hands.” Gu Cheng bit her lower lip lightly, her clear brown eyes reflecting her dark hair. Su Wanxi turned her head to meet her gaze, seemingly discerning three parts struggle and seven parts confusion in her eyes.

"I don't know how to describe it. It's like something is missing from my body. It feels very light, but when you think about it carefully, it feels empty."

"And then there's Ying Qiuhuai's mention of the end of the world... Wanwan, am I being too sentimental?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wanxi shook her head at her.

"You're not being pretentious at all."

The woman paused, then gently placed her fingertip on Gu Cheng's lips, her eyes filled with tears.

“Orange, it’s only natural to be sentimental sometimes, especially after avenging a great enemy. Even the strongest heart will feel empty.” Su Wanxi also experienced the emotions Gu Cheng mentioned, but she was used to keeping them to herself and was unwilling to express them.

“During my time at the Hermit Bureau, I worked with Zhou Li the longest. He was not only my colleague but also my mentor. Lin Shusheng killed him, and it is only right that a murderer should pay with his life. But for me, the moment I killed Lin Shusheng, I felt more of a sense of relief than joy.”

“I could really feel him die, along with certain experiences in his life.”

"I still want to remember Zhou Li, and many people you may not even know." Although it wasn't rational to do so, Su Wanxi belatedly realized she had said too much and quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"So you don't need to talk about yourself like that."

"Really?" Gu Cheng was somewhat skeptical.

"Would I lie to you?" Su Wanxi reached out and gently stroked her lover's nose, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You just need to rest and get better during this time, don't worry about anything else."

Gu Cheng narrowed her eyes, resting her chin comfortably on Su Wanxi's palm.

"Okay, I understand, Wanwan."

Su Wanxi took the opportunity to pinch her cheeks a few more times and chuckled softly, "Pfft, I'm the one with mental problems, so how come I'm the one comforting you now?"

Gu Cheng pouted and said, "Because I'm fragile, pretentious, and unreasonable." She sounded quite proud of herself. Su Wanxi flicked the girl's forehead with a light touch, less than a mosquito's buzz.

"Oh, right, I have to correct one more thing. It wasn't me who left you back then, it was Orange who didn't want me anymore."

Ugh, why are we getting caught up in this again... Knowing she was in the wrong, Gu Cheng rubbed against Su Wanxi's arm, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"Did you learn this trick from Qin Kexin?"

Su Wanxi rarely complained like this.

Gu Cheng nodded: "Mm."

"It seems she's been quite affectionate like this while I was away."

Su Wanxi tossed her long hair aside, her face regaining its coldness, and Gu Cheng realized that her survival instinct seemed frighteningly low.

My wife is so jealous, what should I do? I need help urgently.

The two snuggled in bed and chatted for a while longer. Su Wanxi heard someone knocking on the door, so she went over in her leather boots, turned the handle, and sure enough, there were medical staff outside who were responsible for fixing the ribs.

The female doctor in the lead was petite, wearing white flat shoes and with neat curly hair. She paused for a moment when she saw Su Wanxi's outstanding temperament before speaking.

Are you a family member of the patient?

"I'm."

Su Wanxi's answer only concerned whether she could accompany Gu Cheng when she was getting her rib brace. Seeing that Gu Cheng did not object and that the speaker was also a woman, the doctor did not make things difficult for her.

"Why is your face so red? Are you feeling tightness in your chest? Should we open the window?"

The doctor asked Gu Cheng to sit up straight, laid out the rib strap, and looked up to find that the patient in front of her had a slightly flushed face and was breathing a little unevenly.

"It's not stuffy, just a dull ache in my right chest."

While the doctor was preparing his tools, the girl glanced at Su Wanxi, who looked completely innocent, almost as if she were holding up a sign saying, "It wasn't me, I didn't do it."

"Doctor, how long will it take for her to recover?"

"It depends on the situation, but it usually won't exceed four months."

The female doctor took a few more glances at the chest and confirmed that the ribcage was indeed completely secured.

"Report any discomfort immediately. Refrain from alcohol and spicy food for the next few months, and avoid strenuous exercise. You can come back to my clinic for a CT scan before you are discharged."

Gu Cheng agreed to everything, and after the medical staff left, she grabbed Su Wanxi's clothes, feeling furious.

"It's all your fault, Su Wanwan, you almost got discovered."

Su Wanxi sat back down on the edge of the bed, looking at Gu Cheng with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Waaah, even though it was her own initiative, she wasn't the one who was unwilling to give in before.

Chapter 287, Section 292: My Brother-in-Law is Numb

"Professor Wang, are you saying that China's current cutting-edge technology is insufficient to support such a high-precision instrument?" Su Wanshan, dressed in a sharp suit, gently tugged at her tie, her amber-colored Vacheron Constantin understated yet luxurious.

The man, known as Professor Wang, had gray hair, a hunched back, but bright, piercing eyes.

"No, no, no, it may not be just China. Researching nuclear fusion requires too much technical support. Even in the United States on the other side of the Pacific, many things are still in their infancy."

Research on controlled nuclear fusion has been emerging continuously. In addition to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), a concept of cold nuclear fusion even appeared in the modern scientific community. Although it was eventually identified as pseudoscience, Professor Wang Jianguo was inspired by it—to achieve overall controlled nuclear fusion by using many small uncontrolled nuclear fusions, that is, to use inertial confinement nuclear fusion.

Su Wanshan frowned, about to say something, when her phone, which was in her suit pocket, suddenly vibrated.
