I'm Sick

Xiang Feihu took a deep breath.

Yi Lin Manor!

So it was premeditated?

A hint of disappointment appeared in his gaze as he looked at Su Xiao.

As the Li Family's intended daughter-in-law, she was actually colluding with people from Yi Lin Manor? Wasn't that embarrassing enough?

He looked at Ronan with some disgust and said in a deep voice, "I will leave soon, but please respect your status, sir."

"Miss Su and Young Master Li are already engaged. I just don't want other flies buzzing around her."

"Since you are a gentleman from Yi Lin Manor, I presume you wouldn't do such a despicable thing."

"I'll be leaving shortly. However, since we've met, why not get acquainted?"

"My name is Xiang Feihu. I was formerly the Third Company Commander of the Seventeenth Division Sixth Mechanized Battalion of the Second Star Region of the Empire, with the rank of Lieutenant. Now I am Miss Su's bodyguard. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ronan."

With that, he extended his thick right hand towards Ronan with considerable grace.

Everyone watched this scene with schadenfreude.

Indeed, this kid still couldn't avoid being taught a lesson, could he?

A hint of suppressed anger was in Christine's eyes.

These two men, they actually didn't give her any face?

Especially this Xiang Feihu, did he really think the Li Family was the emperor of Blue Sea?

Su Xiao looked at Ronan with a complicated expression.

Regardless, it seemed that Xiang Feihu wouldn't be bothering her tonight. At least she had a moment to breathe.

She suddenly felt very relaxed.

But this relaxation was exchanged for the possibility of this man being humiliated.

She didn't know how to stop it.

Wei Wei in the distance was also stunned.

Under everyone's gaze, Ronan just smiled lightly and replied:

"Ronan, from Yi Lin Manor. I grew up on a farm and don't understand many things. But I know you're extending your hand to shake hands, I understand that."

When he said the last sentence, everyone almost burst out laughing.

This bumpkin seemed quite interesting.

The two hands clasped together.

Xiang Feihu suddenly exerted force.

The next second, he felt a sharp pain!

Cold sweat broke out on the back of his head.

But no one was looking at him at all!

Everyone was looking at Ronan, wanting to see a look of pain on this arrogant kid's face.

However, they were disappointed.

Ronan's expression was as usual.

Ten seconds later, the two hands separated, and Xiang Feihu left the venue without a word, his face complicated.

Ronan quickly withdrew his hand, put it back in his pocket, acting as if nothing had happened.

"This kid can really endure."

"He deliberately put his hand in his pocket quickly after shaking hands, probably because Xiang Feihu squeezed it swollen?"

"Don't say that, his willpower is quite tenacious. He can actually endure the pain. The last kid, I think he screamed and called for a doctor on the spot, right?"

Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder.

Ronan stood with his hands in his pockets, preparing to leave expressionlessly.

Who knew that at this moment, a voice came from behind him: "Please wait a moment."

Outside Gem Manor.

Several burly young men were playing cards out of boredom.

Suddenly, a tall figure walked over.

The few people put away their cards with lightning speed and stood at attention in a military posture.

"Boss!"

A uniform voice sounded.

Xiang Feihu's face was ferocious, and he kicked one of them in the stomach: "Playing cards during a mission?"

"The others are rookies, but Hei Zai, why didn't you keep them in line?"

The man who had been kicked to the ground clutched his stomach, lowering his head in apology. "I was wrong. I'm willing to accept the punishment."

The rest of the men looked at Xiang Feihu with some trepidation.

The latter sighed heavily. "To the hospital!"

Hei Zai was instantly moved to tears, while also gritting his teeth and saying,

"It's nothing, Boss, I can still bear this pain!"

Xiang Feihu rolled his eyes at him, raised his bruised and swollen right hand, and said self-deprecatingly,

"Who the hell cares about you? My bone is broken!"

Hei Zai and the others were instantly shocked!

They were very curious about what had happened, but seeing Xiang Feihu's reluctant expression, they obediently shut their mouths and didn't dare to ask further. However, deep down, every single one of them had the same question: Who on earth could make their boss, a former special forces soldier, suffer such a huge loss?

"How does it feel to get Su Xiao's number?"

In a corner of the banquet hall, Ronan sat alone.

Wei Wei suddenly appeared, like a ghost.

Ronan smiled and said nothing.

After helping Su Xiao chase away Xiang Feihu, Su Xiao had given Ronan a small piece of paper in front of everyone.

That small piece of paper made the young nobles present incredibly envious.

Everyone knew it was Su Xiao's phone number.

The Su Family's daughter's number wasn't that easy to get.

Ronan accepted it calmly. He thought the girl was nice and worth getting to know; of course, that was all.

Many young men secretly thought this kid had struck gold. Being grabbed by Xiang Feihu would at most result in a broken bone or something; but Su Xiao's phone number was priceless!

The overall technology in this world was relatively unique. People's living standards were similar to those on Earth, with mobile phones and computers readily available. However, due to the mysterious Fire Seed Technology, there were things like mobile armors that traversed the universe, space-folding technology that every ship in the Empire had to be equipped with, stargates that allowed easy travel between planets, and the magical Primal Stone... These were black technologies that didn't exist on Earth. Even for the people of this world, they only knew how to use these technologies, not the principles behind them.

In daily life, smartphones were still the most popular communication tool.

However, unlike on Earth, there weren't as many social apps here. Most people were still in the stage of making calls and sending messages. Perhaps this was related to the unprecedented urbanization of city clusters on every planet in the Star River Era.

Ronan had known about these things since he was in Crescent Prison.

Fourteen years in Crescent Prison, he didn't just learn to survive and fight; he learned a lot, a lot.

The library in the Seventh District was always open to him. It contained the entire Empire's collection of books, and even many forbidden books!

Ronan didn't know what the tiger's intentions were, but he had no reason to stop himself from learning.

On Earth, Ronan was an unusual person.

He thought he was sick.

But many people thought he was a genius.

He had a photographic memory, and his IQ was so high that he was self-taught in mathematics and physics. Even in the most cutting-edge fields, he could quickly understand and learn.

But he was still sick.

Some people thought he was a lunatic.

Because he often did very abnormal things. A well-known psychologist once concluded: He is an extremely selfish person. He does things regardless of rules and consequences, just to please himself. Also, he has no emotions.

Ronan thought he was right, because he did something simply because it was interesting.

However, in that world, not following the rules could easily lead to trouble.

Before crossing over, Ronan had done something shocking.

Then he "disappeared".

Immediately after, he came to this world, a magnificent star river world!

He became a weak infant, still that intelligent but emotionless person.

However, the appearance of that woman changed some things.

That smile was truly warm. Although the time was short, she truly changed something deep within Ronan's soul.

The original him couldn't feel loneliness, didn't know what fear was, and didn't understand what love was.

The current him had many unprecedented emotions, and these emotions sometimes made Ronan feel annoyed.

But he thought it was a good thing. Although he was still sick, at least he seemed to be gradually getting better.

He was starting to act like a normal person. Although he had been imprisoned, and the road ahead was dark, at least he found it all very interesting.

In an inconspicuous corner, seeing that Ronan had no intention of responding, Wei Wei asked coldly,

"Why?!"

She was naturally asking why Ronan would clash with Xiang Feihu for Su Xiao's sake.

She believed she knew Ronan's background inside and out, so she certainly didn't think this detestable man would repay Su Xiao's favor by helping him once in this manner.

Who knew Ronan looked at her strangely and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

Wei Wei was speechless.

Deep down, she had already cursed Ronan ten thousand times.

This insidious and stubborn guy! He was clearly scared to death of the stage, yet he still shamelessly came to the party with her; he clearly didn't understand noble etiquette and many things, yet he pretended to be humble and eager to learn; his hand, which Xiang Feihu had gripped, clearly hurt like hell, yet he still acted as if nothing was wrong!

The key thing was, he was now asking her what he had done wrong!

Getting involved in such an ambiguous relationship with Su Xiao at this critical juncture, was he trying to force the Li Family and Yi Lin Manor to fall out? Or was he just hot-headed and wanted to compete with the legendary mech genius?

Imagine, a bumpkin from a farm who might never have touched a mech in his life, and the most outstanding young mech genius in the Emerald Star Region; if the two stood side by side, the other would probably be so humble he wouldn't even be as good as dust, right?

He really must be crazy about wanting to become the master of Yi Lin Manor, right?

The more Wei Wei thought about it, the angrier she got, and she turned around and left.

Ronan smiled wryly, not knowing where her anger came from. He just sat there quietly, drinking his beverage.

His right hand was still in his pocket, but it wasn't to hide anything, but because he was afraid of being too high-profile.

He was really fine, the one who should be in trouble was that guy named Xiang Feihu, right?

He had lived in Crescent Prison for fourteen years, and could take down even the strongest prisoners in one go! A mech soldier dared to come and show off in front of him, he was really thinking too much!

Ronan wasn't afraid of others' provocations, he just couldn't understand Wei Wei's attitude towards him.

"Why does she hate me so much? She doesn't seem to have a bad heart."

"But tonight, she probably won't talk to me anymore, right?"

Thinking of this, Ronan also gave a bitter smile.

Who knew that not long after, Wei Wei quickly returned, huffing and puffing:

"Christine has already called a doctor, you should go and get it treated. The Governor's Mansion still gives our Yi Lin Manor a lot of face."

Ronan shook his head: "No need, I'm fine."

Wei Wei's eyes widened, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, her whole body completely bristled:

"Ronan! What is wrong with you? Christine is the Governor's daughter, don't you want to see her? What on earth are you thinking?"

Ronan thought for a moment and replied, "I've already met Christine. My hand is really fine, at least I don't need a doctor."

"As for the last question... maybe it's because I'm sick."

Wei Wei looked incredulous, feeling that all her good intentions had been wasted. She stomped her foot in anger, threw down a "big idiot," and turned to leave.

Leaving Ronan completely bewildered.

He was indeed very smart, but he could never guess a girl's thoughts.

If only Noah were here, Ronan sighed, gently stroking the pocket watch, thinking with distress: How can I restore your energy?

The party lasted very late.

After midnight, Wei Wei and Christine said goodbye.

Ronan naturally went with her, after all, he was new to the manor and didn't have his own driver.

Several bodyguards responsible for their security followed closely behind in another rx Destroyer.

The rx Destroyer drove in the open aerial expressways, the bright lights illuminating everything.

Wei Wei and Ronan sat side by side, both silent.

The former was angry, the latter was puzzled.

Ahead was a sharp turn. After circling this three-tiered upper hub, they would be on the cross-sea express, and it wouldn't take long to reach Yi Lin Manor.

However, in the darkness unseen by everyone, a figure was hanging upside down on a pole in the upper hub, skillfully dismantling and assembling something. The dark red and green light flickered, looking eerie and dangerous.
