Chapter 1071: Chapter 932: Taking the Initiative

"A Love Tip Every Day" mentioned the importance of taking the initiative.

Lu Xiang, having returned to her apartment and finished tidying up her new home, reflected carefully on why the private jet operation had failed. Once she had calmed down, she quickly identified the problem.

It wasn’t entirely Song Lan’s fault, after all, this Dumb Bird didn’t have X-ray vision and didn’t know what was in her travel backpack. And her own expressions were somewhat implicit, so it was normal for him to not grasp her deeper intentions.

Lu Xiang was never one to dwell on failure; she quickly gathered herself.

She opened the backpack she had brought with her and laid out its contents on the bed in her new bedroom.

Based on her understanding of Song Lan, she estimated she had about half an hour before he would get home, which was enough time for her to bathe and change.

She indulged in a comfortable hot bath, playing with a rubber duck toy she had brought from District Seventeen amidst the steaming water that filled the bathroom.

The rubber duck toy was also a gift from Song Lan, to encourage Lu Xiang to experience the charm of soaking in hot baths.

Before she met Song Lan, Lu Xiang didn’t have a habit of bathing.

Life on Morning Star was always filled with fast-paced challenges. If there was field assessment, it was normal to run around in harsh "outside" environments for days on end. Aside from the scions of prestigious families, hardly anyone would waste time on baths.

But Song Lan convinced her more than once that taking baths could help relieve fatigue, and before long, she had grown accustomed to it.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Xiang, wrapped in a bath towel, opened the bathroom door. Her body was still radiating heat, and her eyes landed on the neatly folded clothes on the bed.

A close-fitting white shirt, put on.

A black pencil skirt, put on.

Skin-toned stockings, all set.

This was an outfit that Lu Xiang would never have chosen before. Although it was very popular in the United Government and had rave reviews on websites, paired with high heels, it would greatly hinder combat, and even she couldn’t chase criminals in stilettos.

But now wasn’t the time to think about work.

When she stepped out of the bedroom, Lu Xiang heard approaching footsteps. The eager eyes and head peeking out from the living room made it clear that Song Lan had returned.

Lu Xiang smiled slightly, heading towards the door.

Even for a Dumb Bird, this should be a visually striking welcome. She was already looking forward to Song Lan’s expression.

Soon, the AI butler emitted a synthesized mechanical voice:

"Identity verified, welcome home, Mr. Song Lan."

With the sound of the electronic latch unlocking, Lu Xiang seized the moment and pounced on him just as he entered, "Welcome home—"

The enthusiastic greeting ceremony came to an abrupt halt.

She indeed captured Song Lan’s surprised expression, just as planned.

Also frozen in place as if electrocuted were Yaku, Rose, and Jasmine.

The heated discussion that the three had been engaged in was forcibly terminated. Their brains went blank at the scene before them, and the three Six Stars rescuers couldn’t even remember what they had been discussing.

However, they all simultaneously realized something.

No wonder Song Lan kept running home every three days!

No wonder he only clocked in two days a week!

Yaku had the most extreme reaction. Considering a few days prior, his confession to his (supposed) girlfriend had ended in failure, his heartache now reached its peak.

His trust in Song Lan also cracked in that moment.

Maybe δ wasn’t wrong in accusing Song Lan—this Devil was actually planning to cause mental harm to the singletons in such a way!

"... today is the first day of the H1 Department gathering, so I invited them over for dinner."

"Ah, yes."

Lu Xiang loosened her arms from around Song Lan’s neck, her voice as faint as a mosquito, "Why didn’t you say so earlier."

The only good news for Song Lan was witnessing Lu Xiang’s rare shy and blushing state, a pity he couldn’t record this precious moment on his phone with so many witnesses around.

Lu Xiang became rigid, moving stiffly like a robot towards the kitchen, "I’ll help you prepare the ingredients."

"No need."

Song Lan snapped out of it, stopping her before she could make a bigger mistake, "I’ll get it ready by myself, you can chat with them."

His plan had also been completely ruined by this unexpected scene.

He had intended to proudly show Lu Xiang just how harmonious and friendly the H1 Department was, but now, silence enveloped the home. Only Yeying, following her heart, raised her hand to ask, "The butcher complimented me for being cute and gave me a big chicken leg. Can I eat the fried chicken leg?"

It was only then that the shocked group noticed Yeying poking her head out from behind the sofa.

Then, they were even more astonished.

They have a daughter already!

An even more serious question followed.

Considering Yeying appeared to be of age to nearly graduate from junior high, and given the reliable information from the United Government that this was Lu Xiang’s second year since graduating from Morning Star Academy, where the average age of graduation is 21, the question arises: according to the laws of the United Government, how many years should Comrade Song Lan spend in prison?
