Lu Mi Was the Pet?!

It was five-thirty in the afternoon.

The door to the Special Interrogation Room opened again, and Yu Tu appeared in the doorway, his complexion rosy.

From inside came Lu Mi's slightly weary voice. "Take him to the communal cafeteria for a meal."

Then, seemingly through gritted teeth, he added, "0456, reflect on yourself properly. The interrogation will continue tomorrow. Hopefully, you'll obediently confess all your crimes! Oh, and close the door behind you."

The door shut.

The prison officer waiting at the door to escort Yu Tu to the communal cafeteria met the gazes of two other officers on duty, and all three saw the same look of horror in each other's eyes.

By now, everyone had tacitly accepted that Yu Tu was Lu Mi's pet.

Everyone understood that such intensive special interrogations were abnormal.

Especially since, aside from Zhang Jiao being present for the first five minutes, Yu Tu and Lu Mi had been alone for the rest of those long interrogation sessions.

What else could a pet and its owner do when left alone together?

Some had even worried that the First Commander would not make it through the very first day.

Who could have imagined it?!

After four special interrogations on the first day, the one who had been exhausted into collapse was actually Lu Mi!

OMG!

Could the three prison officers not be horrified?

Their First Prison Warden had not found himself a pet! He had found himself an owner!

Commander Yu Tu's status had skyrocketed in an instant!

"Um... Commander Yu Tu, this way, please."

Twenty minutes later, the door to the Special Interrogation Room opened again.

The moment his short boots stepped out the door, the two prison officers simultaneously reached out as though to support him.

Lu Mi's face darkened. His black eyes flicked downward. "What, did I get so old that I can't walk anymore without knowing it? Or are you two trying to remind me that it's time for me to retire?"

"...Hehe, Warden Lu, you've misunderstood."

The prison officers were very awkward.

But they understood.

After all, Warden Lu had always been fiercely proud.

"We were only worried that you might trip."

Lu Mi snorted coldly. "Trip? Even if I accidentally chopped off your heads, I still wouldn't make such a low-level mistake."

Trip on level ground?

He had reason to suspect that his two subordinates had accidentally fallen and damaged their brains.

Lu Mi raised a hand to adjust his officer's cap, then strode forward.

Before he had taken two steps, he staggered. The two prison officers behind him immediately rushed forward and supported Lu Mi from either side.

Lu Mi said, "...Get lost."

The two hesitated. Lu Mi directly shook off their hands and left, his entire body radiating intense murderous intent.

Only after he was completely out of sight did the two prison officers repeatedly sigh.

"Warden Lu really is hopelessly lovestruck. He accused Commander Yu Tu in front of Warden Ming and called him a scumbag, but it's only been a few days, and now he's...?"

"Yeah. Even if he got played, he should at least turn things around and become the one in charge, right? Who would've thought..."

"If he can't take it, why schedule four sessions a day? His legs went weak on the first day. What's he going to do later?"

"Ah!!!!"

"Let's secretly tell Doctor Rete to prepare more medicine for Warden Lu!"

-

Lu Mi had no idea his reputation had been ruined.

He left First Prison directly and returned to his warden's resting pod.

The moment the pod door closed, he could no longer endure it. Supporting his slender waist, he limped inside.

As he walked, he muttered resentfully, "Yu Tu, you bastard!"

Did Yu Tu really think he was an ox meant to plow fields?

Lu Mi miserably flopped onto the sofa and took out his communicator to check the purchasing agent's message.

Calamity Planet was simply too far away. It would take at least a week for the other party to deliver the medicinal ingredients.

A week...

That was too long.

Lu Mi took out One-Patch Spirit from the drawer and slapped three patches onto his waist. After resting for an hour, he returned to First Prison and headed to Lan Su's Sky Prison Cell.

After receiving Lan Su's permission, the Sky Prison Cell door opened.

"Cang Qi, you're here too?"

Lu Mi was rather surprised.

Cang Qi had originally come to First Prison for Lan Su.

Every day, he came up with different ways to make fun machines for Lan Su. He had even personally built this Sky Prison Cell for him, yet Lan Su had always remained neither warm nor cold toward him.

No matter how much Cang Qi liked Lan Su, he did not dare visit every day, so there would always be at least a week between his visits.

But this time?

"Cang Qi, why is your face so red?" Lu Mi's gaze landed on Cang Qi's face. "Are you sick?"

The Sky Prison Cell had high humidity and a temperature-control system, so it was neither cold nor hot. Cang Qi was not even wearing his work uniform today, instead dressed in a warm-toned set of loungewear.

Cang Qi stood beside the coffee table with his back straight. Lu Mi's words made his face turn even redder.

"I... I'm not sick."

Lan Su sat in his wheelchair some distance away from Cang Qi, a faint smile on his lips as he read a book.

A soft light appeared in his gray-blue eyes. "Warden Lu, don't worry. Cang Qi is indeed not sick."

Lu Mi frowned. "Cang Qi, you should still go see Rete."

Lan Su put down his book. "There's no need. Cang Qi's face is red because I kissed him."

Startled, Cang Qi's hamster ears popped out. "Lord Lan!"

Lu Mi also looked utterly stunned. "?"

Lan Su crooked a finger at Cang Qi. "What are you being shy about? Come here."

"Lord Lan..."

Cang Qi muttered as he walked over to Lan Su. The moment he stopped beside him, Lan Su reached out and pulled him onto his lap.

"Lord Lan!"

Cang Qi tried to get up, but Lan Su held him down and would not let him rise.

Cang Qi grew anxious. "Lord Lan, haven't I told you? Don't hold me on your lap!"

Lan Su released Cang Qi. The first thing Cang Qi did after getting up was lovingly check Lan Su's legs. "Does it hurt?"

Lan Su shook his head, then smiled at Lu Mi. "See? Just like that."

Lu Mi said, "..."

Lu Mi looked at Cang Qi's clothes. "Cang Qi was here yesterday?"

"Mm, he slept here."

Cang Qi said, "...Lord Lan!"

Cang Qi truly could not bear to stay any longer. He turned and ran straight into Lan Su's bedroom, shutting the door behind him and refusing to come out.

Lan Su smiled. "The little hamster at home is too timid."

Lu Mi said, "Cang Qi is rather timid, but he isn't lacking in courage. Lord Lan, honestly, I'm quite surprised. I originally thought..."

"You thought I didn't like him?" Lan Su said. "How could I possibly not like him?"

Lu Mi's lips curved slightly. "If that's the case, then I'm very happy for Cang Qi. Congratulations on getting what he wished for."

"And congratulations to me too."

"Yes, Lord Lan. Congratulations to you as well."

Lan Su happily accepted Lu Mi's congratulations, then changed the subject. "You came here because of Yu Tu?"

He lazily propped up his chin and carefully examined Lu Mi's expression. "What, has he become too much for you to handle?"

"...The Desire Compound is truly torturous. Yu Tu's needs are terrifyingly intense right now."

"So you can't handle him."

"..."

"It hasn't even been that long. Warden Lu, you're not very capable, are you?"

"..."

"You look like you really want to curse me out. No, beat me up."

The master bedroom door flew open, and Cang Qi hurriedly ran out. He stood in front of Lan Su, blocking Lu Mi's line of sight.

"Warden Lu, I won't allow you to hit Lord Lan!"

Lu Mi said, "..."

Lan Su took his hand. "Baby, don't panic. He won't hit me. He needs something from me."

Lu Mi sneered. "Lord Lan, I'm already starting to miss the single version of you."

The single Lan Su had not had such a poisonous mouth.

Lan Su smiled. "Keep missing me, and I won't help you."

Lu Mi said, "..."

Wonderful. Once again, fate had him by the throat!

Lu Mi looked at Cang Qi. "Cang Qi, go inside. I have something private to discuss with Lord Lan."

Cang Qi looked at Lan Su. Only after the other man nodded did he turn and leave.

The master bedroom door closed once more. Lu Mi moved closer to Lan Su and lowered his voice.

"Lord Lan, do you... have any medicine to replenish yang? My... waist hurts badly."

Lu Mi furrowed his brows and vigorously rubbed his waist.

Lan Su froze for a moment, then could not hold back his loud laughter.

White Star beneath him also began spinning madly around the room.

"Hahahaha, all right, White Star, you're making me dizzy. Stop, stop."

After finally getting White Star to stop, Lan Su said,

"I don't have any medicine of that sort here. But since Warden Lu has personally come to me, and since you've given Cang Qi special care all these years, I'll make you a bottle. Wait for me a moment."

Lan Su turned and entered the workshop.

In less than twenty minutes, he came out holding a bottle of purple medicine.

"Take ten milliliters beforehand. Do not take more. You can't exceed fifty milliliters a day."

Fifty milliliters—didn't that mean five times?

Lu Mi happily accepted the purple medicine.

It was enough to get him pregnant!

"Lord Lan, thank you very much. I won't disturb you any longer."

Lu Mi turned to leave. Just as he reached the door, Lan Su called after him.

"Oh, right, Warden Lu."

"Mm."

"I won't keep this matter from Cang Qi." Lan Su smiled gently. "After all, he's my only baby."

Lu Mi said, "..."

Lu Mi forcefully suppressed the urge to go mad and comforted himself.

It was fine. Originally, only three people knew about this matter: Rete, the purchasing agent, and Lan Su.

Now that there was one more Cang Qi, it did not seem like such a big deal.
