Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

The room was not dimly lit; on the contrary, it was extremely bright. Yet, even with Shining's keen eyesight, he could not make out the face in the shadows.

She swallowed hard and took several deep breaths.

In the past, she belonged to the Pardoners organization, which represented the highest level of military power in Kazdel. She single-handedly annihilated half of the enemy's elite squad with her sword and was "visualized" by the operators as the Shining Sword Saint who cuts through day and night. But now she is as nervous as a little girl who is about to confess to her senior.

Those hands, which had honed through years of rigorous training to hold a sword for days and nights without trembling, and later transformed into those capable of performing precise, mechanical operations with ease when wielding a scalpel, now tremble like those of a late-stage Parkinson's patient.

The reason Shining is struggling so much is simply to remove a mask that is about to fall off.

Okay... use a little more force outwards... this shouldn't wake the doctor...

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally took off the mask completely. The exhaustion from the intense concentration washed over her, and it was no less than the fatigue she felt when she fought against several of her former colleagues, yes, her former colleagues.

"What? You haven't changed at all, you're still the same as before. Does time not have the heart to leave any traces on your face?" Shining looked at the sleeping face and murmured softly.

His platinum blonde short hair made him look smart and capable, and his sculpted, angular features were exceptionally handsome. His fair skin was as delicate and flawless as the finest Yan porcelain, all of which exuded nobility and elegance. If it weren't for the absence of his signature black horns, people would believe he was a member of the Sarkaz royal family.

Yet, this kind of temperament doesn't make people feel aloof or unapproachable. On the contrary, it's extremely approachable and makes people feel good about you from the first meeting. Even when she's asleep, the corners of her mouth are still slightly upturned, which will unconsciously infect onlookers and make them smile knowingly as well.

If the prince she swore allegiance to was the one who became the leader (idol) to save the Sarkaz, a dazzling being who united everyone around her, and the Doctor who was willing to remain hidden behind the scenes, then she definitely has potential no less than that person.

The premise is that he didn't turn into... another terrifying form.

Shining gritted her teeth, suddenly recalling the deepest scene in her mind: His Highness lying lifeless in a pool of blood, while the Doctor's exceptionally handsome face showed no emotion whatsoever, as indifferent as a god looking at a dead insect.

Then came her desperate questioning, to which the doctor coldly nodded in acknowledgment, and then... and then...

"Shining, are you finally done? Sorry, I fell asleep while waiting too long." Just then, the sleeping handsome guy opened his eyes, his eyes, as elegant as the stars in the night sky, revealing a deep sense of confusion and doubt.

So cute! Wait, they found out I took off the professor's mask!

"I'm sorry, Doctor, your mask... fell off. I'd like to help you put it back on..." Shining said hesitantly, holding the evidence.

Fortunately, the person on the other end wasn't very clear-headed and didn't investigate further; they simply took the mask without asking.

"Oh, thank you. How long have I been asleep?" Qin Duanyu rubbed her groggy head and asked indistinctly.

Although he knew he had a low alcohol tolerance and could get drunk even from eating liqueur-filled chocolates, he was surprised that he had gotten drunk after only exchanging a few words with Officer Long, who had only been drinking low-alcohol beer.

"It wasn't long ago, I just got back from receiving the award." Shining, fearing that Qin Duanyu might notice something amiss, turned and walked to the door. "Seeing how tired the Doctor is, and that it's getting late, let's hurry back and rest."

Qin Duanyu didn't want Chen and the others to discover Shining's existence after they finished having fun. Even though a lot of messy things happened tonight, they still came out with her, which in a sense was a date.

With his still somewhat confused mind, he might easily mess things up, so it's best to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.

……

The two returned to the medical department, where they could faintly hear sounds coming from a laboratory.

"Hemer, theoretically speaking, hitting me with a drone won't make me feel pain. Instead, the process of repairing it will only make you angrier."

"Shut up! You're not sleeping on the sofa tonight, you're sleeping on the floor!"

"Can I bring a blanket? It's not that I'm afraid of the cold, it's that I'm afraid I'll damage the floor."

"Saria, get out of here right now!"

With a click, the door opened, and a solid, tangled mass rolled past the two of them.

Through the rapidly closing door, she could see the trembling little fire dragon and the owl doctor with his hands on his hips, constantly approaching her.

So, whatever you do, never let Dad take care of the kids. The instigator, who had been pulled into the shadows by Shining, shook his head and laughed without a trace of remorse.

After this little incident, they finally arrived at the ward. However, the Sword Saint didn't seem to intend to leave immediately. Instead, he lowered his head shyly and said, "Doctor, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you tonight because of my willfulness."

"Thanks to you, I had a lot of fun." Qin Duanyu was overjoyed at the thought of suddenly having 600,000 Lungmen Dollars in her account, and she couldn't wait to go with Shining a few more times. "And I saw another side of Miss Shining. To be honest, it was quite unexpected."

"Has your image collapsed?" she said with a wry smile, somewhat helplessly.

According to the original plan, she had shown the doctor another side of herself, which greatly shortened the distance between the two. Next, she should have taken advantage of the moment when everyone was excited to express her true feelings, even if it was just a momentary burst of passion.

After all, she had done such a terrible thing to the Doctor. Even if it was intentional on the Doctor's part, Shining felt immense guilt whenever she saw the shocking scars on his chest.

Once the doctor remembers everything from the past, will he still be able to accept me? It's all my fault for not being able to resist taking off my mask, which made me panic and miss the best opportunity. There won't be any more time alone like this in the future.

"No, I think it's quite cute. To be honest, when I was holding you on the motorcycle, I was actually a little tempted." Perhaps it was because the alcohol hadn't worn off yet, or perhaps it was because Bo had been possessed so many times that it had become an instinct, Qin Duanyu subconsciously took a step forward, cornering Shanling against the wall, and placed one hand on the wall behind her.

Come to think of it, tonight's series of experiences were almost exactly the same as the strategies I used to teach Ceylon.

Since she may have betrayed Shining in the past, and she was only reluctant to act because I hadn't remembered, I'll take this opportunity to capture her. Even if I remember what happened in the future, she probably won't be willing to stab me with a sword, right?

"You... um..." Shining suddenly widened her eyes, realizing that something foreign had invaded her mouth.

After struggling slightly, she gave up resisting and instead took the initiative to hug Qin Duanyu.

That way, when the Doctor remembers what happened in the past, he won't punish me too harshly, right? Even if he really holds a grudge about it, being able to do this much can be considered fulfilling his wish. Whether I'm kicked out of Rhodes Island or whatever, it's what I deserve.

However, the man and woman, who originally had their own thoughts, soon became completely absorbed in their verbal battle. Even though one had a god-like perspective and the other was a peerless sword saint, they did not notice that a pair of terrified eyes were witnessing all of this.

……

Although she held the Dr. Neptune in utter contempt, Angelina still loved the environment of Rhodes Island. After proving that she had no connection with Qin Duanyu and had only been deceived and hadn't yet taken the bait, Lappland and the others became noticeably friendlier and helped her adapt to life as an operator.

That evening, after helping the logistics department transport a batch of supplies, she was about to go back to rest when she found Miss Ceylon carrying the unconscious Miss Black, struggling to get to the medical department. As her companion, she naturally had no reason to stand idly by, so she helped carry the person over.

After confirming that Miss Hei was alright, she left the ward. But just around the corner, she saw two men who looked like Sarkaz standing together, one of whom was using a wall slam on the other.

Wait a minute, listen to that voice... it's that scumbag PhD.

Good heavens, he... he actually likes this kind of thing?!

Angelina covered her mouth with both hands to prevent herself from gasping.

My head is still spinning, but I managed to type one chapter.

Chapter 24, Section 303: The Troubles of Adolescent Girls

Top deck of the Rhodes Island landship, Operations Department office.

Texas, who works as an assistant, is holding a POCKY dangling from her mouth. While working on the documents at hand, she is also listening intently to what is happening on the other side of the desk.

"Everything is normal, except your heart rate is a little fast. Although you need to rest, you can't sit for too long. You should also do some exercise occasionally and get some fresh air." Shining put away her stethoscope and, taking advantage of having her back to Texas, winked at Qin Duanyu.

"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Dr. Shining. I also plan to go for a drive tonight and do some aerobic exercise or something." Qin Duanyu said meaningfully, recalling a certain pleasant evening.

Several days had passed since that night. Qin Duanyu, who left the ward the next day to resume her normal work, and Shanling acted as if nothing had happened. However, the physical examination that should have been stopped was tacitly preserved under the pretext of "continuing to observe for a period of time".

For the two of them, who both have reservations, their current way of getting along is just right.

Moreover, the feeling of being sexually assaulted in front of a woman is incredibly stimulating.

Watching Shining leave, Texas felt like there was something stuck in her mouth, even the sweet Pocky tasted bland, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she could only frown and stare blankly.

"Texas, were you too tired from work this morning? Why don't we take a break and play some games?" Qin Duanyu stretched and came to Texas, speaking in a suggestive tone.

“Doctor, according to the schedule, we need to go to the training ground next. There are two reserve action teams undergoing their official assessments there, and we also need to check on their training progress. Time is a bit tight, so let’s not delay the important matters…” Texas’s face immediately turned red, and he changed the subject.

"It's okay. With your help, I finished my work this morning ahead of schedule. I can still finish the whole box even if I don't finish it." Qin Duanyu put one end of the POCKY in her mouth, almost implying.

Well, I just wanted to thank the Doctor and I was craving some Pocky again. Feeling the hot breath on her face, Texas reluctantly took a bite of the other end of the cookie.

Sure enough, Texas "coincidentally" saw Qin Duanyu's purchase of the motorcycle with his own money while reviewing documents. With the two of them alone in a room and without A-Neng's interference, what followed was a natural progression.

Deeply moved, Texas, unable to resist Qin Duanyu's coaxing and cajoling, and with a little expectation in her heart, "reluctantly" agreed to VAN Games' request.

She never expected that this guy actually wanted to play in the office.

If someone sees us, that would be... that would be so exciting!

After finishing two whole boxes of Pocky, Qin Duanyu licked her lips with lingering satisfaction, then pulled Texas, whose face was flushed and who was a little out of breath, onto the elevator.

Incidentally, after being taken to the emergency room by Ceylon and Angelina, Miss Black was out of danger after a simple gastric lavage. Although she later said that she was fine and that their relationship had greatly improved, Ceylon's hand-brewed black tea was still classified as a dangerous substance on par with the Furong Nutritional Meal.

After learning about Hei's ordeal, the girls at the rich women's tea party were all relieved. Luckily, they always brought their own servants, which prevented Miss Ceylon from having a chance to show off her skills. Otherwise, not only would Lungmen's economy be affected, but the world economy would probably experience considerable turmoil.

Thanks to Qin Duanyu's mediation and persuasion of Himeru, Miss Saria, who had been sleeping on the floor for several days in a row, regained the right to go to bed. The little dragon's mountain of homework was also reduced to a manageable amount, which can be considered a life-saving measure.

Thinking of Saria and Charmander's gratitude, and how Black and Ceylon's relationship had deepened after this incident, Qin Duanyu felt the biscuit in her mouth tasted even sweeter.

……

"Operator Angelina, while you have excellent talent, don't underestimate these basic training methods. If I catch you slacking off again, you can expect to be spending every night with Kroos and the others!"

Meanwhile, at Rhodes Island's training grounds, Angelina, a newly recruited operator, was still undergoing basic training. However, judging from Ms. Dobermann's furrowed brows and slightly angry words, it was clear that her results were not satisfactory.

"Hoo... I'm sorry, Instructor Dobermann." Angelina lowered her head, like a student being scolded by a teacher.

"Angelina, have you been preoccupied lately? You must be more careful next time. Miss Dobermann almost lost her temper just now," Melanie whispered to Angelina, handing her a towel.

In her opinion, this little girl, Volper, was a serious and good child, unlike Klose, Spot, and Skyburst, who were always trying to slack off. There must be some other reason why she would be distracted during daily training.

"...I'm fine, I guess I haven't been sleeping well lately." Facing her senior's concerned gaze, Angelina ultimately didn't reveal the secret hidden in her heart, after all, the person in front of her was, strictly speaking, also quite related to that matter.

However, she wasn't lying. Seeing such things was too shocking for a girl who had just come of age. She had only read similar content in some strange magazines that her classmates passed around before she got infected.

"Sigh, the troubles of teenage girls, huh? Perhaps she's taken a fancy to some handsome guy on the island, but is too shy to express her feelings?" Melantha teased with a knowing tone.

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Angelina quickly shook her head in denial, her expression sincere and not like she was faking it.

She wasn't just thinking about one handsome guy, she was thinking about two!

Just then, Qin Duanyu and Texas arrived at the training ground. Melantha didn't dwell on these matters any longer and hurried over.

"Melansha, your scent is quite special today. Did you come up with a new perfume? Hmm, it smells like jasmine and cloves, it's lovely. Hey, why is your face red?"

"Aodi, you brat, stop stirring things up. If you've had your fill of dog food, don't go to the cafeteria for lunch! Scout's been gone the whole time, he must be slacking off, right? Perfect, I'm going to give you a good workout. Let's have an extra three hours of training tonight."

"Boris, you've worked hard training these kids. Come to my office tonight, I have something good for you!"

As the saying goes, "a yaoi-loving eye sees everything as gay," and after witnessing Qin Duanyu wall-slamming a handsome Sarkaz guy and then passionately kissing him, Angelina put on a pair of glasses with a rather strange color.

What was originally a normal scene of a boss observing his subordinates and flirting with his girlfriend took on a completely different meaning in her eyes.

Her interactions with Melantha and Texas are more like casual conversations between close girlfriends about skincare products, but what he says to male operators carries a strong suggestive meaning, with things like "training" and "good stuff," which sound very gay.

Also, when I was shopping with the Doctor that time, he unintentionally called me "Brother Jie". How could he see such a cute JK girl like me as a brother? Wait, does that mean the Doctor was flirting with so many girls to hide his own taste?

Teenage girls are prone to overthinking, and Angelina's thoughts quickly drifted off to her grandmother's place.

Wow, after getting an IV drip and taking a nap, half of my body is still cold... Could it be that Frostnova was leaning against me while I was sleeping?
