Legend has it that after Siegfried killed a dragon, he bathed in its blood and gained an invulnerable body.
But while bathing in dragon's blood, a leaf fell on his shoulder and was not soaked in the blood. That spot became his only fatal weakness, and he eventually died there.
A similar story is the Achilles' heel in Greek mythology.
To repair and continue living, Chu Zihang's body, damaged by the dragon blood gene, must obtain Jormungandr's heart blood.
Gu Ran was calculating in his mind how to intervene in the following events without leaving a trace, so as not to change the course of events, while maximizing his own benefits.
……
On the other side, at the Su family's large villa.
After taking a shower, Su Xiaoqiang casually put on a white nightgown.
She's always been very outgoing and carefree at home, enjoying a relaxed and open feeling, especially when she sleeps; she usually doesn't wear a bra.
Since it was still early, she sat down at her desk, enjoying the air conditioning and letting the warmth and moisture from her shower dissipate.
Out of boredom, I turned on my computer to read the news.
Soon, I saw it trending locally on Weibo.
Fortunately, no one was injured in today's truck driver accident.
If Gu Ran hadn't intervened, that cute little girl might be gone.
If such a tragedy and bloody scene were to happen in front of Su Xiaoqiang, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep for three days and three nights, and might even have nightmares.
So, did her boyfriend help her avoid a nightmare, or did he save a family?
That's truly amazing!
On Weibo, many people are sharing the interview with the little girl's mother, hoping to find that unsung hero.
The comments section says that good people should be rewarded and heroes should not remain unknown.
Seeing everyone praising Gu Ran in the comments section, Su Xiaoqiang felt honored and full of pride.
She really wanted to leave a comment and show off.
But she also knew that Gu Ran didn't like to be in the limelight, and his mixed-race identity meant that he couldn't leave his name when doing such good deeds.
As the moisture and heat on her body gradually dissipated, Su Xiaoqiang felt the air conditioning was a bit cool, so she lay down on the bed and draped an air conditioning blanket over her stomach.
"He doesn't care about fame, but he should still be rewarded. Let your older sister reward you."
After thinking for a moment, she made a decision and immediately grabbed her phone from the bedside table to call Gu Ran.
Gu Ran did not answer.
Su Xiaoqiang made another call.
Still no answer.
"How dare you not answer my call?" she angrily dialed again.
The call was connected this time.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ran asked with a smile as the call connected. "You miss me so soon?"
Su Xiaoqiang asked with dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? It took you so long to answer the phone."
"I was just taking a shower."
"Are you done washing?"
"It's over."
"Then come to my house now."
"Huh?" On the other end of the phone, Gu Ran was drying her hair with a towel. She glanced at the time and saw that it was already 10:30 p.m.
He asked, "Now?"
"Yes, I'll wait for you for half an hour. Hurry up and come over."
"So urgent? Why?"
"Don't ask, just come here."
"Fine," Gu Ran tossed the towel aside, "Are you alone in the bedroom now?"
"Yes," Su Xiaoqiang said somewhat awkwardly, "Could you... sneak into my room without alerting anyone?"
"Your words sound like Pan Jinlian inviting Ximen Qing."
"Pah! If you can't use a metaphor, don't make one!" Su Xiaoqiang retorted angrily. "Couldn't the Queen of the Women's Kingdom invite Tang Sanzang?"
"So, are you going to use every trick in the book to seduce me tonight?"
Su Xiaoqiang blushed and shouted, "Just tell me if you're coming or not!"
"Of course I'll come!" Gu Ran smiled. No matter the reason, when his girlfriend called, he would naturally come immediately.
He said, "Then... cover your mouth first."
"Huh?" Su Xiaoqiang was a little confused when she heard this.
Gu Ran said, "Listen to me, do as I say."
"Oh," Su Xiaoqiang responded, holding the phone in one hand and covering her mouth with the other.
"You covered your mouth, right? Cover it tightly, and don't shout anymore, understand?" Gu Ran suddenly hung up the phone.
"what?"
Su Xiaoqiang lay on the bed, finding his words somewhat inexplicable.
But the next second, a figure appeared out of nowhere directly above her.
"Holy crap..." Su Xiaoqiang instinctively wanted to scream, but Gu Ran was prepared. He had activated his Sharingan early in the morning to observe the environment in the room, and then he landed on the bed, on top of her, and covered her mouth.
Didn't I tell you not to make a sound?
"You... this is... teleportation?" Su Xiaoqiang's eyes widened in astonishment. "Is this also your superpower?"
Gu Ran was in a plank position on the bed, with Su Xiaoqiang lying beneath him.
He laughed and said, "So, aren't you happy to have a boyfriend who can be by your side anytime, available whenever you call?"
Su Xiaoqiang put down the phone and, somewhat incredulously, reached out and touched her boyfriend's face.
It's actually true, not a dream!
Awesome!
Gu Ran then noticed Su Xiaoqiang's attire: she was wearing only a white lace nightgown, her snow-white breasts exposed to the air, looking incredibly alluring under the soft light.
She had just finished showering; her fair face was like a lotus emerging from the water, pure and lovely, and she also had a pair of charming eyes that were captivating.
Unable to resist, Gu Ran leaned down slightly and kissed her rosy lips.
Su Xiaoqiang also wrapped her white arms around her boyfriend's neck and kissed him deeply.
After their lips parted, Su Xiaoqiang was still somewhat incredulous; she seemed to have remembered something:
"So, when you suddenly appeared in the school's locker room during last winter break, it was teleportation... I thought you were really spying on me!"
"Do I look like that kind of person?" Gu Ran laughed. "Besides, I can see through things, so why would I need to sneak into the locker room to spy on you?"
"I didn't know you had superpowers back then!"
Gu Ran looked at Su Xiaoqiang's fair and rosy face, his gaze shifting slightly downwards, and said, "Speaking of which, your figure was fuller back then than it is now..."
Su Xiaoqiang clearly felt his gaze shift downwards by thirty centimeters.
"You rascal," she said with a laugh, wrapping her arms around his thick neck.
Gu Ran still supported herself with her hands on either side of her head, while her knees were kneeling on either side of her waist.
He leaned down and gently kissed her red and burning earlobe, whispering, "Why did you ask me to come over so late at night? Did you miss me?"
Come to think of it, the two had been reunited for so long, but they only slept in the same bed the first night; after that, Gu Ran slept on the sofa every night.
Su Xiaoqiang really wanted to be intimate with her boyfriend.
“You saved someone today and became an unsung hero. No one outside knows, so you won’t receive any recognition. Therefore…” She gently pinched her boyfriend’s cheek, looking at his handsome face, and said, “I want to reward you personally!”
Gu Ran hadn't expected this. He reached out and pinched Su Xiaoqiang's high, delicate nose, asking, "So, what reward will you give me, sister?"
"Here's a sweet kiss for you." As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xiaoqiang raised her neck slightly and gave her boyfriend a quick peck on the right cheek.
"Is there only one?" Gu Ran turned the other side of his face to her lips.
Su Xiaoqiang continued to raise her head and kissed him twice on his left cheek.
"This makes my right cheek feel unbalanced!"
“No, this is just the right balance,” Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile.
"Then... what about here?" Gu Ran pouted.
Su Xiaoqiang understood perfectly. She wrapped her fair arms around his thick neck, lowered his head, and kissed him deeply.
For a long time, the lips are divided.
Before she knew it, a blush rose on Su Xiaoqiang's face.
"Come to think of it, this sounds more like I'm rewarding you," Gu Ran stared into her alluring, dreamy eyes. "It's obvious you had a long night and couldn't sleep because you were thinking about me, so you sent me here, right?"
"So what if I am?" Su Xiaoqiang said haughtily, inhaling her boyfriend's scent. "Just come when I tell you to. Why all the nonsense?"
Chapter 243 The Metamorphosis of Growth
"In that case... I'll have to claim my exclusive reward."
As he spoke, Gu Ran abandoned the plank position and hugged the slender Su Xiaoqiang tightly in his arms like a koala hugging a tree.
The person in my arms is so soft and fragrant, it feels so good. Yes, that's how I felt the night I slept so well!
Su Xiaoqiang's supple waist was gripped by him, like a judo wrestler.
She was almost out of breath and laughed, scolding, "You're so heavy! Don't hug me so tightly, you're trying to strangle me!"
"Oh, I'm sorry."
