The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

Hey!

What happened? Wasn't she his girlfriend? She's his wife in just half a day!

Outside the research institute, Wu Lan blushed, stomped her foot, and said embarrassedly, "Grandpa Jia, don't talk nonsense. Who is Su Yu's wife? It's not official yet!"

"Haha, don't be shy, your relationship will work out sooner or later, I believe in you two."

Jia Mingzhen stroked a small tuft of beard on his chin and said with a smile.

Wu Lan smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Jia."

You old geezer, hurry up and leave, I'm so tired of pretending!

Su Yu, come out and save me!

At that moment, the institute's doors slowly opened.

The first to emerge were not Su Yu, but Su Long and his wife.

Looking at Wu Lan, who was covered in dust, the two felt a pang of sympathy. Lin Xuan stepped forward and took Wu Lan's hands in hers, saying softly, "Child, you must have suffered a lot on the way. Look at you, look at what you've become."

As she spoke, Lin Xuan helped Wu Lan remove the weeds from her head, and then wiped Wu Lan's cheeks with her spotless white sleeve.

Wu Lan was completely dumbfounded by this whole operation. She stared blankly at Lin Xuan, wondering who this person was.

Lin Xuan chuckled as she looked at her expression. This child seems a bit slow-witted.

Then Lin Xuan said, "Your name is Wu Lan, right?"

Wu Lan didn't understand, but she nodded nonetheless.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "That's right. Let me introduce myself. I am Su Yu's mother, and this is Su Yu's father."

Huh?

Wu Lan stared blankly at Lin Xuan. If she remembered correctly, Su Yu had never had a mother since he was a child. Could this be the legendary stepmother?

But that makes sense, she looks too young, she must be a stepmother.

Wu Lan thought to herself, full of self-righteousness.

As Wu Lan's eyes changed, Lin Xuan instantly understood what was going on. She continued, "Don't misunderstand, I am Su Yu's biological mother, and Su Yu is my biological son."

At this moment, Su Yu slowly walked out of the research institute.

It wasn't that he was walking slowly, but rather that Su Long and his wife were running too fast. After hearing Jia Mingzhen's shout, the two of them rushed out at top speed, which is why Su Yu seemed to be walking slower.

PS:

That's all for tonight, sorry!

I'm too tired to type anymore. The taxes deducted today came out, and they were a lot. I'm exhausted, heartbroken, and in pain. I need to rest for a bit and fight again tomorrow!

"Su Yu!"

Upon seeing Su Yu, Wu Lan's face lit up with surprise and she exclaimed excitedly, her eyes shining with a strange light.

Su Yu looked closely at Wu Lan, feeling a pang of unease. This simpleton had traveled a long way, covered in dirt, looking like a little beggar, but she seemed completely unconcerned.

A smile bloomed on Wu Lan's dusty face, which Su Yu found exceptionally beautiful. He froze, staring at Wu Lan in a daze.

Wu Lan didn't think as much as Su Yu; she was very simple-minded.

She stepped forward and slapped Su Yu's shoulder with her dark right hand, leaving a dark handprint on his white robe. Wu Lan said with a grin, "Surprised? Look how scared you are, you're completely stunned."

As she spoke, Wu Lan poked Su Yu's cheek with her finger, which looked somewhat intimate and ambiguous.

The Su couple exchanged a glance, their smiles barely concealed, and quietly watched Su Yu and Wu Lan from the side.

After Wu Lan poked his cheek, Su Yu snapped out of his daze, slapped away Wu Lan's "hand," and asked with forced composure, "Why are you here?"

Wu Lan looked at Su Yu strangely, somewhat annoyed, "Didn't you hint that I should come? Now that I'm here, are you planning to renege on your promise?"

Su Yu broke out in a cold sweat and muttered under his breath, "I didn't hint at anything to you. You just made it up in your head."

"What did you say?"

Wu Lan heard Su Yu muttering to himself, but she couldn't hear him clearly.

Su Yu suddenly raised his head and smiled, "I didn't say anything, just complimented you on your looks."

Wu Lan suddenly asked, "So, do you like it?"

Su Yu: "..."

Beside them, Su Long and his wife also watched Su Yu with great interest, waiting to see how he would respond.

Su Yu didn't answer Wu Lan's question. His feelings for Wu Lan were complicated. It was impossible for him to dislike her completely, but he did like her to some extent, though he was mostly touched.

Wu Lan traveled a long way, braving mountains and rivers, enduring wind and rain, just to find him. Regardless of whether Wu Lan's purpose was for research or to fulfill a promise, Su Yu had to accept this favor.

Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like me?

Whether it was because she had lied to Jia Mingzhen about being Su Yu's girlfriend or something else, Wu Lan became a little bolder. Seeing that Su Yu remained silent, she pressed him for answers again.

"Cough cough..." Su Yu said, changing the subject, "You must be exhausted from walking all this way. Look at how dirty you are, go upstairs and wash up. Did you bring any clothes?"

Wu Lan couldn't hold back any longer. She said in a pitiful voice, "I'm so tired! I'm starving! Those monsters don't taste good at all; they're fishy and tasteless!"

Su Yu was silent for a moment, then said with some concern, "Go wash up first. The bathroom is on the second floor. I'll prepare something for you to eat."

Wu Lan did not move.

"what happened?"

Su Yu glanced at her.

Wu Lan's eyes darted around as she said, "I didn't bring any clothes, I didn't bring anything at all."

So you want me to buy you clothes?

Wu Lan retorted, "Isn't this what you should be doing?"

"All right……"

Su Yu had no choice but to agree, and then he began to observe Wu Lan's figure, otherwise he wouldn't know what size to buy.

Noticing Su Yu's gaze, Wu Lan allowed him to observe her without any attempt to hide it. Not only that, Wu Lan even spun around in front of Su Yu with her head held high and her chest puffed out.

"Have you checked it out yet?"

Seeing Su Yu staring intently at her, Wu Lan moved closer to Su Yu, the distance between them less than five centimeters, which could be described as extremely close.

Unfortunately, Wu Lan was filthy at the time, having not bathed for seven or eight days. Su Yu quickly stepped aside, saying, "I'll go buy you some clothes now. You go and wash up first."

"Know it!"

After responding, Wu Lan walked straight into the research institute without any hesitation.

Watching Wu Lan's retreating figure, Su Yu rubbed his cheeks. He was about to go buy clothes for Wu Lan when he turned around.

"Dad, why are you still here..."

Su Yu's face fell. He had been so focused on Wu Lan that he hadn't noticed Su Long and his wife were still nearby.

Lin Xuan looked at Su Yu with a smile and said, "Son, do you know what kind of clothes we should buy for Wu Lan? Do you want Mom to go with you?"

Su Long quickly pulled Lin Xuan aside and said, "You can let him do it himself. He'll have to get used to it sooner or later, so it's good to do it a little earlier."

Lin Xuan glanced at Su Yu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Alright then, I'll go in and see if Wu Lan needs anything. Some of the things I brought here should be suitable for her."

With that, Lin Xuan walked into the research institute. After entering, she made sure to close the door and warned Su Long and his son, "Wu Lan is taking a shower now, and none of you are allowed to come in."

Su Long: ...

Su Yu: ...

Finally, Su Long patted Su Yu on the shoulder and said, "Son, hurry up and prepare Wu Lan's clothes! What will she wear after she takes a shower?"

"I'm going right now, Suanni!"

At Su Yu's summons, the Suanni appeared. Su Yu flipped over and jumped onto its back, then ran out of the academy.

Su Long glanced at him and muttered, "That brat is such a show-off. He's just going to buy clothes, why does he bring a mount along?"

Then Su Long shouted, "Son, remember to pay attention!"

······

Su Yu's trip went smoothly, and she didn't encounter Wu Qi like in the original story. Wu Qi was stopped when she arrived at the border of Da Xuan Prefecture, and she could only watch helplessly as her younger sister was taken away.

Wu Qi protested to Jia Mingzhen, "Senior, that was my sister. She came to Da Xuan alone, and I'm a little worried about her. Please let me go in and keep an eye on her."

Jia Mingzhen glanced at Wu Qi and said, "Don't worry, it's very safe within our Great Xuan Prefecture. Besides, I sent Su Yu's girlfriend directly to the academy, so you don't need to worry."

Wu Qi: "!?!"

"My sister is Su Yu's girlfriend? Who said that? Was it that bastard Su Yu?"

Wu Qi was shocked and furious. "You, Su Yu, you were indeed up to no good. You've shown your true colors as soon as you left the Great Xia Prefecture!"

No!

I have to bring Wu Lan, that silly girl, back. I can't let her be fooled by Su Yu.

Jia Mingzhen looked at Wu Qi strangely and said, "You're that girl's older sister. Don't you know about her relationship with Su Yu? Besides, she herself said she was Su Yu's girlfriend, and Su Yu only admitted it later."

Immediately afterwards, Jia Mingzhen exclaimed in surprise, "Tsk tsk, it seems the two of them have been hiding it quite well, even you, their older sister, didn't know."

Wu Qi: ! ! ?

Did that brat Wu Lan say it herself?

What do you mean I, as the older sister, didn't know? Their relationship isn't that kind of thing at all...

Wait, could it really be true?

At this moment, Wu Qi also fell into deep doubt. She began to recall Wu Lan and Su Yu's various experiences in the academy, and then thought about Wu Lan's long journey for Su Yu. The more Wu Qi thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
