Luo Ran opened her eyes and saw the wooden ceiling.

Before I could come back to my senses, I heard Xia Zhi's voice, "Ran Ran, you're awake...! You fainted in the military camp. What's wrong with you? Didn't I ask you to take good care of yourself? Yes, you are in good health, mental power or sss, but no matter what, you are an omega, an omega in the estrus period, and you're crazy about doing such a high-intensity work?"

"You have to know that you are in a fragile estrus period and you are temporarily marked, but your alpha does not give you enough intimacy and pheromones. Recently you are still refining unk. The two of the institute's first contact were injured. Do you dare to work at such a high intensity?"

"You fainted from overwork! I've convinced you!"

Luo Ran had just woken up, and was still a little confused, but was completely stunned by Xia Zhi's crazy output.

"Ranran, are you listening to me?"

"ah……"

Yes... He has indeed felt severely unable to do anything these days. It seems that he fainted because he finally reached the critical point.

Luo Ran stood up on the bed, looked around and found herself in Xia Zhi's guest room.

"Ranran, don't be so damn like this, ask for a leave." Xia Zhi said helplessly: "Be good, ask for a leave? Go to work after the estrus period."

This workaholic is really...

Xia Zhi even wondered if Luo Ran had a crush on Lucas.

"Okay." Luo Ran rubbed her temples and said, "I will consider it."

"It's not me that you are like this. You may be in heat in front of the general at any time." Xia Zhi warned: "After all, this time is different from usual. If you really can't control it, I don't know what will happen."

Luo Ran paused.

Luo Ran thought for a moment and said, "I will ask for leave."

There are three days left in the estrus period, so he will take three days off.

"That's right." Xia Zhi was very satisfied, like a male mother whose child was finally obedient.

Luo Ran stood up and said, "By the way, who sent me here? Is it Adjutant Lu?"

"No..." Xia Zhi said with a strange expression, "It's the general, he brought you in. However, the military department is still waiting for him, so I told him that you were just overworking and he would go back first."

"Ah?" Luo Ran frowned immediately, "He is still practicing, why did he come here?"

Seeing that Luo Ran was still thinking about business at this moment, Xia Zhi paused and frowned and asked, "Ran Ran, I want to ask you..."

"Um?"

"What do you think of the general?"

"What's going on?"

"Just, what do you think of others?" Xia Zhi said with a smile: "Aren't I curious?"

"Didn't you see him when you were a field doctor before? He..." Luo Ran said while exercising his muscles and bones: "He is a very powerful alpha. His mental power and combat ability are both the trump card of the empire, and he is also very upright."

Summer solstice: “…”

Xia Zhi opened his mouth, and originally planned to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"What's wrong?"

"No, that... Oh, right!" Xia Zhi clapped his hands and said, "General asked Adjutant Lu to guard outside and notify him if he had anything. Now people are still sitting outside in the living room, you can go and talk to him."

“…You didn’t say it earlier.”

Luo Ran smoothed her hair, tidyed her collar and then quickly walked downstairs.

"Secretary Luo..." Lu Cheng subconsciously stood up again when he saw Luo Ran.

"Adminton Lu, please trouble you, sorry." Luo Ran also bowed and returned the gift.

"No trouble, no trouble." Lu Cheng looked at Luo Ran very rigorously, then stood up straight and said, "Secretary Luo, can I report your condition to the General?"

"……Can."

"yes!"

Lu Cheng immediately lowered his head to report to Lucas.

"Captain Lu."

"arrive!"

Luo Ran said: "Can you do me a favor and ask me for leave for the general?"

"ah……?"

"I just said that I was overworked and sick, and planned to take a three-day rest, but I would handle all the urgent matters of the company before taking a leave."

"Yes..." Lu Cheng thought to himself, why didn't Secretary Luo tell the general personally?

After thinking about it, Lu Cheng still handed it to Lucas word by word.

Lucas only replied with one "Yeah".

So, the first long holiday for the chief secretary of the empire in several years finally began.

...

To be precise, it is half turned on.

Luo Ran couldn't leave suddenly and left all the work. He had to go back to the company to do the final sorting and handover, and leave notes for Rong Duo and others.

Luo Ran rested for a while at Xia Zhi's house and left for the company.

It was already late at night when Luo Ran arrived, and the employees had already gotten off work. The whole tall building was pitch black, with only the soldiers and guards on duty.

Luo Ran came to the highest building and began to organize documents at his desk.

I heard footsteps in a short while.

The general came back from the military headquarters...

Luo Ran looked up and saw Lucas standing aside, looking at him with a somewhat unkind look.

Angry...?

Because I want to take a leave?

Luo Ran was holding a stack of folders in his hand and asked, "The general is back, is the military parade still going well?"

Lucas didn't answer, and rudely snatched the folder in Luo Ran's hand and said, "Why didn't you tell me if you're tired?!"

"I..." Lucas's anger caught off guard made Luo Ran stunned. Luo Ran's hand suddenly turned empty and he stared at Lucas blankly.

"Why don't you apply for a break when you are tired?" Lucas threw the folder on the table. "These ghosts are so important?!"

Luo Ran really didn't expect Lucas to react like this. He was stunned by being frightened. Subconsciously followed Lucas' words and blurted out: "Yes... it's very important."

That's not a ghost, it's the imperial military affairs and trade information with Luobing. If anything goes wrong, it will be troublesome.

“…”

Lucas looked at Luo Ran with a terrifying look.

Luo Ran lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"...I can't tell you." Lucas warned: "There can't be a next time."

Luo Ran nodded.

But Lucas was not stupid either. He frowned and asked, "You usually have a greater workload than this, why did you faint this time?"

Luo Ran's heart thumped, and subconsciously stepped back halfway and said, "I don't know."

"Did you hide something from me?" Lucas's face darkened. Luo Ran's half-step move obviously angered alpha in anger. Lucas directly pressed Luo Ran on the wall behind him and prevented him from leaving.

Luo Ran's hands were raised to the top of her head and could not move.

Luo Ran suppressed the nervousness in his heart and thought that he had not been in heat before fainting, and had no pheromones on his body. Xia Zhi didn't reveal anything at all, so it should be fine.

"I don't." Luo Ran looked at Lucas calmly and said, "I won't lie to you."

Lucas raised his eyebrows.

"If I lie to you, I will..." Luo Ran stopped abruptly.

Although he was calm on his face, he was still feeling weak in his heart.

"What do you do?"

Luo Ran bit the bullet and said, "...I will only have your surname."

I still don’t dare to say it too ruthlessly, such as being struck by lightning or not, what if I’m really struck by lightning?

Lucas looked at Luo Ran expressionlessly.

Luo Ran also looked back at him.

The two of them had a stalemate for a long time, and Lucas was defeated and said viciously: "If you have any physical problems, or have some illnesses when you are tired or have some illness, you must tell me that you can't lie to me."

"Okay." Luo Ran breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lucas really didn't notice anything, and raised his hand and said, "I promise."

Lucas let go of the clamping of Loran.

Luo Ran said: "Then I'll go back first."
