Chapter 128: I Want to Give This to You (2/2)

When Shen Cheng saw Liu Su, he nodded and smiled, “I didn’t get a chance to say it at noon, but congratulations, Shen Cheng.”

“Thanks to you.” Scratching his head with a smile, Shen Cheng sat across from Yu Lan and asked, “Is it the Injection Owl Demi-Humans Genetic Agent?”

Yu Lan nodded, saying, “Today, we tested your blood again for the Demi-Humans Genetic match rate. As expected, all the data remains above ninety percent…”

Such a statement, which could cause an uproar in the scientific field of Demi-Humans, was spoken as casually as drinking water by Yu Lan. She had gotten used to it by now. If Shen Cheng’s match rate with any Demi-Human was below sixty percent—no, below ninety percent—she might have been surprised.

“The Owl Demi-Humans Genetic Agent is the only avian Demi-Humans genetic agent from our Bio-Scientific Institute. Its ability is to alter memories, but its limitations… are quite significant. You could say it’s almost useless, but it’s still enough to resist Ye Xi.”

Gently pushing the syringe, a drop of liquid appeared at the needle’s tip, glinting faintly. Yu Lan looked directly at Shen Cheng and solemnly said, “I leave Ye Xi to you…”

Shen Cheng’s face turned serious as he nodded, “I’ll do my best!”

…

After throwing the used syringe into the trash can, Yu Lan looked at the unfazed Shen Cheng and didn’t bother asking how he felt. She simply pulled out a small booklet and a shiny black pistol from under the table. “This is your gun license and custom pistol. Remember to carry it with you when you go out.”

“Thank you.” Nodding in gratitude, Shen Cheng took the firearm permit and pistol.

With no other matters to attend to, Shen Cheng and Liu Su left the Injection Room together.

“How does it feel to have your own custom pistol?” On the way, Liu Su looked at Shen Cheng, who was caressing the shiny black pistol, and smiled as she asked.

Shen Cheng shifted his gaze from the pistol to Liu Su and suddenly asked, “Liu Su, do you know why I worked so hard to pass the gun assessment?”

“To protect your family?” Liu Su answered without hesitation.

Shen Cheng chuckled, “That’s a big part of it, but there’s another reason… I want to keep the pistol you gave me.”

“Huh?” Liu Su was slightly stunned.

“And also…” Shen Cheng held Liu Su’s hand, then solemnly handed the shiny black pistol in his hand to her, “I want to give this to you.”

Liu Su stared blankly at the shiny black pistol in her palm, the golden character “Cheng” engraved on the gun body dazzlingly bright.

“Huh??” The next moment, Liu Su finally seemed to realize what was happening, and her face flushed red, the blush spreading down to her neck. “Do you… do you really know what this custom pistol represents?!”

“Why? Didn’t you give me your custom pistol as well!” Shen Cheng teased, seeing Liu Su’s face turn red for the first time, “Now, we both hold each other’s ‘lives,’ don’t we?”

“… ” After a moment of silence, Liu Su swayed her black tail and tucked the shiny black pistol into her chest, whispering, “I will protect it…”

“With everything settled, we should be heading back. It’s been a long time since I’ve said goodbye to my family… I miss them,” Shen Cheng said with a smile as he looked at the now-cleared sky outside the corridor window.

“Mm…” Liu Su blushed and nodded, then added, “Well… you should go say goodbye to your ‘students’ first. I’ll ask Shao Silin to prepare the car, and we’ll meet at the entrance of the Bio-Scientific Institute!”

Without waiting for Shen Cheng’s reply, Liu Su turned and left with her head lowered.

Watching Liu Su walk away, Shen Cheng shook his head with a smile and then turned his gaze toward the Demi-Humans Recovery Center of the Bio-Scientific Institute, muttering to himself:

“My… students?”
