Not long after Yu Ran and Lu Zexuan returned to the White Pagoda, they suddenly received an unexpected message—Mr. Ludwig, the president of the Guide Association, was coming to visit them in person.
When they heard the news, their hearts tightened at the same time. Why did the president suddenly come to visit
Lu Zexuan had never met the president, and Yu Ran had only met him twice.
The first time they met, Yu Ran was 13 years old. He met the president when he registered at the Guide Association. The president was very elegant, with long golden hair, a pair of blue eyes like the clear sky, and a smile like spring breeze. The staff of the Guide Association all liked him.
Yu Ran looked at this handsome man with curiosity. The president did not put on airs. Instead, he took the initiative to walk up to Yu Ran, gently touched his head, and asked with a smile: "Is this the son of General Xie and Professor Qin? He is so cute."
At that moment, Yu Ran felt that this president was the most gentle person in the world.
The second time they met was also in the same year. Yu Ran completed all his studies in just three months, becoming the guide student who graduated from the sanctuary in the shortest time in the history of the Federation. This naturally attracted the attention of the president of the Guide Association.
Because Yu Ran's red fox was too aggressive, his father discussed with his grandfather and decided to temporarily seal his mental power and send him to church for psychological education to prevent him from going astray due to his excessive hostility.
Of course, this was just a cover. Grandpa's real purpose was to let Yu Ran use this year to learn some fighting and survival skills.
The three S-level guides joined forces to seal Yu Ran. On that day, President Ludwig also visited in person. The guides who sealed Yu Ran that year included Xie Shiyi, the dean of the Guide Academy, his father Qin Luo, and Professor Mo Wei of the Central Academy of Sciences, who was also an S-level guide at the time. Ludwig watched the process.
No one has ever seen what Ludwigi's spiritual body is like.
Yu Ran's memories emerged in his mind, and Lu Zexuan wondered, "This president is very mysterious. It seems that he rarely shows his strength in front of outsiders? His spiritual body is likely to be invisible, right?"
Yu Ran said, "That should be the case. Invisible spirits can eliminate their own sense of existence. It is rumored that the president is the guide with the best healing ability in the Federation. The sentinels who have received his treatment are grateful to him and praise him highly."
Lu Zexuan hesitated and said, "So, he suddenly came to visit me, could it be that he was here to... heal my mental trauma?"
The two looked at each other.
Not long after, Lu Zexuan received a call: "The president is waiting for you in the conference room on the 100th floor of the White Tower. Please come over."
Yu Ran and Lu Zexuan went side by side. According to the Dark Night Organization, in front of outsiders, Lu Zexuan had to behave normally, just like Rong Yingying, and could not let others see that he was controlled by Yu Ran. Only in this way, when necessary, Yu Ran could let Lu Zexuan act quickly, attack suddenly, and kill people invisibly.
Therefore, they have to continue acting in front of outsiders.
The two quickly took the elevator to the small conference room on the 100th floor of the White Tower.
The moment they opened the door, they saw a man in a white suit standing by the window with his back to them. The man was tall, with blond hair that fell to his waist, emitting a soft halo under the sunlight. Such a back figure inexplicably gave them a "holy" feeling.
This was the first time Lu Zexuan met the president of the Guide Association.
After hearing the footsteps, Ludwigi turned around and said with a smile: "General Lu, is my visit a bit sudden?"
Lu Zexuan asked in confusion: "President, you are so busy, why did you think of coming to see us?"
Ludwig walked up to the two of them and said in a kind tone, "I already know about the Falcon Special Forces. So many soldiers died. I'm very sorry and sad. That's why I wanted to come here in person to comfort you and see if you need any help."
Just as Lu Zexuan was about to speak, he continued, "General Lu, I heard that you have never applied to the White Tower for spiritual reorganization. You have fought in many battles over the years and witnessed the sacrifice of many comrades. Your spiritual world must have been left with a lot of shadows. You are an S-level sentinel, and low-level guides cannot perform a thorough spiritual reorganization on you. Therefore, I came here in person today to help you with treatment."
Lu Zexuan and Yu Ran: “…”
Maybe this guild leader is a kind-hearted doctor? Since Lu Zexuan had never applied for treatment from a high-level guide, and his team was almost wiped out, out of sympathy, he condescended to treat this S-level sentinel in person
The reason makes sense.
But Lu Zexuan's current mental state is desolate. If he really starts treatment, he will be exposed in an instant.
Lu Zexuan looked at the president and said respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to bother consuming your mental energy this time. Ranran and I have a guide element matching degree of over 98%. On the way back, Ranran has already completely treated me."
Yu Ran scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "After all, my mental strength is relatively low. Maybe some hidden dangers have not been completely eliminated. Otherwise, why don't you ask the president to take another look?"
Lu Zexuan said seriously: "I don't like to let outsiders see the memories in my mental picture."
Ludwigi smiled and said, "Oh? It seems that General Lu's spiritual picture still has many little secrets?"
When he spoke, his smiling eyes stared straight into Yu Ran's pupils. At that moment, Yu Ran even felt that the other party could see the truth hidden in his mental picture through his eyes.
But Yu Ran's psychological quality has been professionally trained after all. When he met the eyes of the president, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he blushed and said: "To be honest with you, when I was in the White Tower before, I suddenly had a combination fever, and Zexuan has already..."
Lu Zexuan followed his words and said, "I have already marked Ranran. So, there are some memories that I don't want others to see. I hope the president understands."
Ludwig nodded: "I understand. Yu Ran has just come of age. Being alone with a sentinel can easily lead to sexual fever. The intimate scene of you young lovers is indeed not suitable for me to see."
He looked at Yu Ran and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to make such fast progress. It seems that General Lu will have to prepare a wedding for you as soon as possible."
Lu Zexuan put his arm around Yu Ran's shoulders and said, "I was planning to tell my father about this. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll hold the wedding at the end of the year."
Ludwig nodded appreciatively: "You two are a perfect match. Don't forget to send me an invitation to your wedding."
Lu Zexuan: "Of course. It is an honor for Ranran and I that the president is here in person."
Ludwig said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. If you need my help, you can contact me through the Guide Association at any time."
***
After performing a loving scene of a young couple in front of the president, the two of them successfully sent the big Buddha away. Lu Zexuan and Yu Ran returned to the White Pagoda dormitory. The moment they entered the room, Yu Ran frowned slightly: "I always feel that the sudden visit of this president is not that simple."
Lu Zexuan guessed: "Either he came to treat me out of pure kindness, or maybe he came to test us?"
At present, they don’t know whether the president is an enemy or a friend, so they can’t easily draw a conclusion.
After taking a shower that night, Lu Zexuan wanted to sleep on the sofa, but Yu Ran suddenly called him: "Zexuan, come to the bedroom, let's sleep together."
Lu Zexuan was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at Yu Ran: "Do you want to sleep in the same bed?"
Yu Ran said seriously, "I think 'marking each other' is a good reason. In the future, even if we are inseparable, it will not arouse suspicion. If the Dark Night Organization wants to harm you, I will have sufficient motivation to save you, the 'puppet'. Moreover, we have close memories of marking each other. This reason can stop most people who want to investigate our mental picture."
Once the sentinel and the guide have completed the marking on their bodies, they will be bound together for life. The marking process is very intimate, and the two people have to be physically connected. This is the privacy of the sentinel and the guide, and it is completely understandable that they do not want to be seen.
Yu Ran used this reason today to politely decline the president's offer to treat Lu Zexuan. In the future, when he meets Lu Zexuan's relatives, friends, and other guides who care about him, he can also use this reason to evade them.
Seeing the man frozen there, Yu Ran asked in confusion: "Are you very resistant to sleeping with me?"
Lu Zexuan: “…”
What resistance? He wanted it more than anything!
Lu Zexuan touched his nose and explained awkwardly: "You brought it up so suddenly that I was a little confused for a moment."
Yu Ran smiled and said, "Since we are playing a couple, we need to be more familiar with each other's bodies. Otherwise, those seniors with rich experience in love will know that we are pretending at a glance."
Yu Ran's words made sense. Lu Zexuan nodded, walked into the bedroom, lifted the quilt and lay down next to Yu Ran.
This was the first time they slept in the same bed.
During the days on Red Spider Star, although they slept together, the spider queen's back was too large, so they each covered themselves with a leaf as a blanket, and the distance between them was not very close. It was only on the night of spiritual union that Lu Zexuan hugged Yu Ran after seeing her nightmare.
But now, there was a double bed, a quilt, and the smell of Ranran's shower gel in the quilt. The two of them were sleeping together. This intimate way of getting along made Lu Zexuan feel dizzy and he always felt like he was dreaming.
Yu Ran, on the other hand, looked calm. He was only thinking about "how to act more realistically" and did not think there was anything wrong with sleeping in the same bed.
He fell asleep quickly.
At first, Lu Zexuan's whole body was stiff, and he dared not move at all, just like lying on the bed like a corpse. But gradually, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.
It might be because Yu Ran mentioned the "combination fever" to the president during the day, and the two of them were sleeping in the same bed at the time, that Lu Zexuan suddenly dreamed of an extremely ambiguous scene that night.
In the dream, Yu Ran was troubled by fever, his whole body was hot and his cheeks were red.
And in the dream, Lu Zexuan really hugged Yu Ran, kissed her gently, and even... marked her.
The two have long been spiritually connected and share dreams.
Just like when Lu Zexuan saw Yu Ran’s nightmare in the spiritual world, Yu Ran would also see Lu Zexuan’s sweet dream.
This beautiful dream was too good and too real. Before he knew it, Lu Zexuan had dragged Yu Ran into the dream.
The two of them had this strange and absurd dream together.
The scene in the dream was exactly the bedroom and the bed, which made people feel like they were there.
After waking up the next morning, Lu Zexuan went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, while Yu Ran sat on the bed with a confused look on his face.
What was going on? Why did he have such a shameful dream
Due to the spiritual connection between the two, Yu Ran couldn't tell who started it first, but reason told him that he couldn't have had such a dream for no reason, and it was most likely Lu Zexuan who dragged him into the dream.
Thinking of the intimate scenes in the dream, Yu Ran's ears suddenly felt hot.
It was so embarrassing to dream together.
Lu Zexuan took a long shower. When he came out, Yu Ran had already finished washing up in the sink at the bathroom door, and his expression had calmed down.
Lu Zexuan looked at him, his ears slightly red: "Last night..."
Yu Ran also opened his mouth: "Last night..."
The two looked at each other and looked away embarrassedly.
After a while, Lu Zexuan whispered, "It may be because you mentioned the combination fever during the day that I dreamed about these. Do you... hate this kind of dream?"
He asked this question carefully, and his expression was a little nervous, which made Yu Ran's heart soften slightly. He couldn't help but comfort him, "Dreams can't be controlled, and even science can't explain them. Don't mind it, it's just a dream."
Lu Zexuan asked: "Don't you hate it?"
Yu Ran thought of the scene in the dream, and her ears felt hot: "Is it okay? Anyway, I haven't experienced it before, so I just feel it's a bit strange."
The two looked at each other and once again looked away embarrassedly.
Sharing dreams is really a bit embarrassing. When two people see each other now, they can't help but think of each other's appearance in the dream.
Everyone felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Zexuan’s dream was so outrageous that it seemed as if the door to a new world had been opened to Yu Ran.
When he was studying in the sanctuary, he also took the "Sentinel and Guide Physiology Course", and he had an excellent memory, so he could get full marks just by memorizing the knowledge from these theoretical courses. He clearly remembered how the sentinels and guides marked each other, which was the focus of the exam.
But theory is theory, and practice is practice.
Last night, both of them practiced it for the first time. Although it was just a dream, the result of sharing the dream was...
It was as if they were there in person, working together to film an intimate scene.
Yu Ran rubbed his forehead helplessly—uncontrollable dreams, this is really the biggest disadvantage of spiritual combination.
If in the future, he and Lu Zexuan were dreaming and someone forcibly invaded their spiritual world, how would he explain these scenes? Just say that it was his dream. After all, as a "puppet", Lu Zexuan had lost consciousness and could not actively dream.
Yu Ran had thought of a solution and felt much calmer.
Lu Zexuan also quickly calmed down and pretended nothing had happened.
This little episode did not have much impact on the two of them. However, unconsciously, the memory of that intimacy left a seed in their minds, and whenever they thought of it, they could not help but feel their ears burning.
It was also the first time that Yu Ran felt... It turned out that the sentinel and the guide could be so close.
