The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 211 Requesting Marks

"Thanks!" Caesar grinned, grabbed Lin Nan, and left.

Arachne, who was standing on the other side, also tried to sneak away, but Colonel Lauen stopped him!
“Vic, you stay.”

Arachne: ...

The long-unheard address made him slightly lost in thought. Vic was his nickname. Colonel Lawn was on good terms with his father, and he had known him since childhood.

"Next Wednesday..." Colonel Lauen's voice became very soft, "is the anniversary of your father's death. Do you have any plans?"

Arachne chuckled, her slender fingers casually tossing the black hair on her shoulder.

"The old man has been dead for so many years..." He tilted his head, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips. "Simply burning a stick of incense will do, won't it?"

"You kid!"

Colonel Laun sighed. He reached out to pat Arachne on the shoulder, but paused in mid-air. In the end, he simply brushed away non-existent dust from Arachne's uniform.

"Feel free to contact me if you need anything. Also...give my regards to your brothers."

"Understood." Arachne waved casually, then turned and left, her hair flowing in the cool moonlight like a handful of icy water.

Colonel Lawn stood still, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes appearing even more pronounced and deep in the darkness.

Time flies! So many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Even his son has grown to be as tall as he was back then.

If my friend is watching from heaven, he would surely be comforted...
-
As soon as Lin Nan entered the dormitory, he braced himself against the door frame, blocking Caesar from entering.

"It's too late, I need to rest."

"My darling~" the man called to her, his voice like sandpaper soaked in honey, sweet yet with a tantalizing huskiness. He emphasized the words "permanent mark" heavily, as if they were melting between his lips and teeth before he uttered them.

"I feel a little unwell..."

"You can get a guide to inject."

Lin Nan ruthlessly shattered his illusions.

"Meow~" The big cat drooped its ears mournfully, feeling as if the whole world had collapsed.

Such a big man squatted at the door of Lin Nan's room, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Lin Nan couldn't help but rub her forehead.

Recalling when she first met Caesar, this man was extremely arrogant and would forcibly pin her down in a corner and bully her. Now that her mental strength has grown to A-level, she has the ability to fight back, and he can no longer do whatever he wants to her.

When his forceful methods failed, this shameless man switched to another way to win her over. Clearly, this sticky, persistent approach left her even more helpless.

He knew her weaknesses all too well. Before, when she hid in the Guide Academy, he couldn't catch her, and she could have some peace and quiet. Now that she had entered his territory, he didn't know how much trouble he would cause her.

"If you behave well, I'll think about it." In the end, she gave in.

Before she set off, the director also suggested that she take Caesar as her personal sentinel, but her private grudges with him made her hesitate for a while.

“I’ll definitely be good.” Caesar’s pupils brightened, and he knelt directly on the door frame, his military belt buckle digging into Lin Nan’s waist. “But you need to consider when. Is one night enough?”

"...Fine," Lin Nan finally relented, but the next second she was knocked back three steps by the big cat that pounced on her, and she fell into a chest that was incredibly hot.

"My darling!" the man called out, his eyes filled with excitement, cunning, and a touch of domineering determination as he stared at her...

"Tomorrow I'll kneel on the ground... and let you ride me... What position do you like? How about I use my tongue..."

It took Lin Nan a while to realize what the man meant.

"Slap—" The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the corridor.

Caesar tilted his head, a red mark quickly appearing on his handsome face, but his smile grew even brighter. He licked his lips, his pupils contracting excitedly, as if he had received some precious reward.

Lin Nan was so angry that her ears turned red, and she released vines to throw him out the door.

"Get out! Don't ever come into my room again!" she roared, slamming the door shut.

Instead of being annoyed, Caesar chuckled as he touched the handprint on his face. He slowly straightened his disheveled collar, leaned against the door, and said tenderly, "Sweetie, I'll come see you again tomorrow. Remember what you promised me tonight."

Lin Nan felt utterly exhausted. Ugh—men are so annoying! I'd rather play with the aliens in the contaminated zone!
She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and couldn't help but open the chat window with Hosen on the terminal.

"QAQ." She sent a crying emoji.

However, her message went unanswered.

These past few days, her relationship with Huo Sen has become unusually close. Except when he is busy, he usually replies to her messages almost instantly.

It's rare for someone to not reply for so long, like today.

What's going on? No reply to messages! Is the director busy again?

Lin Nan's mind, which had been disturbed by Caesar, gradually cooled down, and she looked at Hosen's avatar with confusion.

It shouldn't be.

The director should know that she arrived at Zone 9 at this time today. Once communication is established, he will definitely send her a message as soon as possible.

Lin Nan thought for a moment and then made a video call.

The notification tone sounded particularly jarring in the quiet room, eventually turning into a cold, electronic voice: [No response to call].

Lin Nan's fingertip stopped on Huo Sen's avatar. The gray interface was reflected in her pupils, as if shrouded in gloom.

In the mental landscape, the mark belonging to Hosen was unusually quiet, no longer radiating the gentle mental energy fluctuations it usually did.

Although they are bound by a spiritual bond, the connection weakens when they are too far apart.

[Kichisuke, is the director still busy at this hour?]

She couldn't help but send another message to Geese.

Gis replied to her quickly.

Yes, Lin Nan, the director has several important meetings to attend these days and may not be able to receive private messages.

Lin Nan stared at the message from Geese on the terminal, her fingertip hovering above the screen for a few seconds before finally typing her reply slowly.

Okay, I understand. I'll contact him again in a few days.

After sending the message, she closed the chat window, but didn't put down the terminal.

Outside the window, the rain poured down, shrouding the entire city in a gray curtain of water. The outlines of distant buildings were blurred, as if dissolved by the rain.

Lin Nan got up and walked to the French windows, looking at the unfamiliar scene before her.

The rain poured down, the sound of raindrops hitting the glass so dense it was almost unsettling.

No! She can't be too suspicious.

The director is definitely a double S-level expert.

Lin Nan comforted herself in this way.

……

My first night in Granville was uneventful.

Morning light streamed in obliquely through the half-open curtains, gilding the edge of the bed with a pale gold hue.

When Lin Nan opened her eyes, the torrential rain outside the window had stopped, but the damp air still lingered, shrouding the entire Granville in a hazy mist.

She walked barefoot to the floor-to-ceiling window and lightly touched the cool glass with her fingertips.

If it weren't for the current dirty and messy streets being such an eyesore, this city would still have a lot of charm.

She likes this rainy environment.

"Alright!" Lin Nan patted her cheeks to fully wake herself up.

She turned and walked toward the dressing room, where the guide's white uniform was already neatly hanging, with an intern's medal on his chest.

I've had enough sleep, time to get back to work full of energy!
Starting today, she has officially become an intern guide!
