Chapter 18
Luckily, the boss forgave them. Fu Yue’s anxious heart finally calmed down.
"You can come now." Arnold quickly added.
Fu Yue, "!!! " Can such a good thing happen?!
"I’m coming!" Fu Yue immediately responded.
After answering, she felt like she had been too excited, scratching the back of her head, her voice getting quieter, "I mean… I want to make up for yesterday’s mistake. I’m really thankful that the general is giving me this extra chance…" She raised her head embarrassedly, wanting to look at Arnold, only to find that he had already walked far away and was now waiting for her to catch up.
Fu Yue quickly composed herself and hurried to catch up with Carter.
Seeing their pet following behind, Arnold opened the corridor leading to the office and walked in with Fu Yue.
Fu Yue knew that Arnold used this corridor daily to go to work, but this area was not included in her access permissions.
It seemed like this area was not only Arnold’s office space but also his private room.
Walking along, Fu Yue noticed that the interior decoration was all in pure white, just like outside.
After about two minutes of walking, they stopped in the corridor. Arnold used his access permissions to open a door in the wall, leading Fu Yue into his room.
As Fu Yue had expected, the room looked exactly like her own room.
The space was all white with white nutrient pods, white sofa, white table, and some high-tech devices and books. The room was about twice the size of hers.
This room had an even less lived-in feel compared to her own room. It truly reflected the image of her boss, who always had a frosty demeanor.
Fu Yue looked around as she walked into the room.
When she reached the sofa, she saw a huge screen on the wall in front of it.
It seemed that the boss was working very hard to pamper her little pet, as she didn’t just lie down and relax in the nutrient cabin even in the early morning. She really wished she didn’t have such a boss sometimes, she just wanted to sleep in…
Just as she was lost in thought, Arnold’s sudden command interrupted her thoughts, "Come here."
Was it time to start working? Fu Yue eagerly jumped onto the sofa, facing Arnold.
"What are we doing today?" Fu Yue’s tone revealed the joy of getting the card soon.
Arnold fell silent.
He realized that he didn’t actually know what intimate contact meant.
In his more than fifty years of life experience, he had never needed such words.
Not right… there’s still something.
"Bring your face closer," Arnold’s voice sounded confident.
Fu Yue moved her face close to his chest and asked, "Like this?"
"A little higher."
Fu Yue moved to his neck, "Here, okay?"
Arnold hugged her shoulders and pulled her in front of him.
Nose to nose, eyes to eyes.
"Just like this," he was satisfied.
Oh.
Fu Yue felt very calm and accepted the situation.
At her age, girls usually get shy and blush when they see handsome boys. When she saw Carter’s projection earlier, she instinctively fixed herself as a good example.
However, facing Arnold Zerg tribe’s general who often posed incredible challenges and dragged her into the game to beat her up from time to time.
She said her heart was already dead.
With a dead calm heart, she could still adapt and put on a "so honored to be near General Arnold" expression.
No.
This is very wrong.
Arnold looked carefully at Fu Yue face to face, just as close. Although his heartbeat slightly increased, he didn’t feel the same imbalance he did when he was in front of the waterfall.
Was it because the kiss was missing?
Arnold moved his head in confusion, ready to try implementing this thing again.
"Fu Yue, now you put your lips… on…" [Detected that your heart is beating too quickly, please take deep breaths to stay healthy.]
"Put them… on the wall."
Interrupted by concern that suddenly entered his mind, Arnold changed the topic abruptly.
"You’ve interrupted my train of thought." Arnold thought sardonically.
[Since you attributed the symptoms of heart imbalance to physical reasons, the system has provided you with better and timely reminders.]
Arnold, "…" But Fu Yue was quite happy. Just sticking to the wall was truly a small matter compared to before. She immediately put on a professional smile and walked to the wall.
Afraid that Arnold might not see, she deliberately chose a spot further away and kissed the wall.
"…" This strange behavior of kissing the wall continued for a whole five minutes before Arnold solemnly stopped her.
"Alright, you can come back now."
Fu Yue, "Okay!"
Fu Yue went back to the sofa, staring at Arnold, waiting for his next command. However, why did Arnold’s ears suddenly seem a bit red?
"Now, place your lips on… the sofa."
Fu Yue, "Huh?" Is this for real?
She glanced at him with confusion, but like all the other gazes she had given Arnold before, it had no effect on her boss.
Okay, fine. Looks like another weird task today.
The next few commands made Fu Yue’s lips touch almost every object in Arnold’s room intimately.
Lastly, with a silent Arnold watching, Fu Yue, done with the task, left the room, leaving him with a perfect explanation.
Every time he thought about that soft thing touching his face, his heart would race, and he would end up blurting out wrong information.
This must be a way that Blue Star people affect emotions!
The terrifying Blue Star people made Arnold realize that they might have brought in a group of ferocious monsters.
He might need to find out Blue Star people’s level of admiration for her through other indirect means.
That day, Arnold went out as usual and headed back home.
The next morning, Fu Yue only saw him coming back from outside.
Well-rested Fu Yue stretched lazily and happily greeted the boss, "Good morning, I’ll… Oh! What is this!"
In an instant, a good morning turned into a morning of terror.
Arnold stood at the door bathed in morning light, his handsome features making him look like a mythical god. That alone was fine.
The problem was with a fancy wrapped bundle he was holding, it had a trumpet-shaped opening revealing something with strong signs of life on it.
Fu Yue couldn’t name it, but she saw clearly they were in Arnold’s arms, with vertical bodies below and just a big mouth on top. They were engaged in a small-scale fight with dozens of others of their kind.
None dared to overstep on Arnold’s body, instead they fought fiercely in their own little world.
It was like a glimpse into a small society under divine gaze.
But the most terrifying was yet to come.
Arnold bowed his head, looking uncertain. He handed over the squirming, bloody thing back and forth towards Fu Yue, saying, "Here, take it."
I don’t want it, don’t give it to me!
You can’t say such things, of course.
"Let me help you put it on the table…"
"Be strong, Fu Yue!" Fu Yue encouraged herself silently and walked over there.
But as Fu Yue approached, the fierce creatures seemed to smell the scent of a weak one and stopped their fighting, turning their heads to stare directly at her.
Under the intense gaze, Fu Yue immediately tensed her body. The creatures, after a quick confirmation, changed their target and pushed their bodies towards Fu Yue, opening their mouths wide, wanting to take a bite of a delicious breakfast.
Seeing the change in their behavior, Arnold quietly released his pressure. In the next moment, the creatures immediately retracted their sharp teeth, calm as chickens.
This was based on information Arnold found online that the Blue Star people liked plant reproductions. He had searched several planets yesterday before finding a plant reproduction suitable for display.
What was even more rare was that now was the golden period for them to absorb nutrients, devour each other to achieve a certain outcome. The boss guaranteed that this was the best viewing period of the year for them.
Arnold looked at the reproduction and handed it to Fu Yue, saying, "You don’t need to put it on the table, this is for you, just take it back to your room directly later."
Forced to take the bouquet, Fu Yue exerted all her strength and finally managed to place it as far away from her body as possible, to prevent the dozens of creatures from coming over to bite her.
Struggling and sweating, she successfully approached the table in the living room and forcefully placed it on the table.
After finishing everything, she wiped her sweat and weakly smiled at the general behind her, "It’s really not necessary. The things the general likes are better kept for the general himself."
It had been a long time since Arnold had received such a clear rejection, and he was stunned for a moment.
The bouquet of flowers was already in impeccable perfect condition, and he didn’t understand the reason for the rejection.
But that didn’t matter, the bouquet of flowers was just a small warm-up before the official start.
The main event of today was just about to begin.
Sitting calmly on the couch, Arnold took out a rare gem that he had just mined from his planet and placed it in his palm, slowly playing with it.
