It felt as if a giant hand was crushing his heart, leaving a bitter, aching sensation.
An unnamed resentment surged wildly within him.
'Who the hell was Su Xingye?'
'He was the one closest to Yu Lan now.'
'Yu Lan had come to the Science Research Institute because of *him*.'
'So why was Su Xingye the first one to have intimate contact with her?'
Flames of resentment and jealousy burned in his heart, growing into an overwhelming, twisted inferno.
It even threatened to reignite the rut he had fought so hard to suppress.
Rationally, Shen Zueran knew he needed to calm down immediately. He couldn't let his thoughts spiral any further.
'If he kept this up, his spiritual power would collapse and he'd go insane.'
But…
'I can't, I can't, I can't.'
'When Su Xingye went into his rut, Yu Lan couldn't bear to let an Imperial Major General fall, so she went to help him.'
'So what about him?'
'The Director of the Empire Research Institute.'
'Her current, and best, lab partner.'
