Valerie had slept for so long, and when she woke up, her mind was filled with too many memories from the ancient earth. She could not process this time difference for quite a while.
In addition, her body had just recovered, and she was still a little weak.
In the past two years, she had stayed at home without stepping out, namely, surfing the Internet occasionally.
After she woke up, she had not had much contact with the opposite sex.
Not to mention that Isaac and Valerie had been betrothed to each other since they were children, thanks to their grandfathers.
They were well-matched, being childhood sweethearts, and were also both admitted to the Medical Department of the Imperial Military Academy this year.
Marriage was a matter of course.
The Federal Empire had a rigid rule that ordinary women must have a legal spouse at the age of 20.
Otherwise, on their twentieth birthday, after midnight, a husband would be assigned to them by the System as a “birthday gift”.
A random assignment was too uncertain. Who could predict what sort of husband would be assigned to her?
It was better for Valerie to marry Isaac whom she knew very well.
However, who would have thought that at this juncture, Madeline would use her little tricks to pull Isaac away, so that he would have no way of marrying Valerie?
Valerie sighed. She had always known that Madeline coveted Isaac, and Isaac was interested in Madeline, too. They should have confessed to each other already.
It was not like Valerie could not live without Isaac.
However, there were only a few hours left until midnight. Where should she find a man of her liking to marry?
Was she supposed to just wait for the System to assign her one?
Valerie would not give up. She walked through the long corridor with her dress hiked up. Suddenly, something furry flashed across her field of vision.
She tottered backward on her four-inch high heels.
Then, she was looking into a pair of large, gleaming eyes!
This young man was very handsome. His features were sharp and refined, and his skin was so fair she could hardly see any pores.
His silver-gray hair was rather messy, and his pair of fluffy ears of the same color trembled slightly.
Valerie trembled as well.
Her face was completely flushed! She wanted to squeeze him!
She suddenly felt a tickling sensation on her foot. She looked down and saw a fluffy silver-gray tail gently brushing over her foot.
Valerie asked, “Who are you?”
If she had met such a good-looking werebeast like this, she would never have forgotten him!
Still, she had missed out on five years of her life and had been cooped up at home for two years after she woke up. Valerie did not know that many guys, excluding family members.
The young man pursed his thin lips. “I’m Jonny.”
What a cute nickname.
Although this kid was her type in every way, Valerie’s top priority was to find a man to be her groom.
First, she had to solve that thorny problem.
Valerie lifted her dress, about to leave, when his furry tail hooked around her calf.
When she raised her head, she saw the young man’s eyes reddened as he asked, “Where are you going?”
As he was so good-looking and adorable, Valerie was more patient with him.
She said, “I’m in a rush to find a man to marry. I’ll come back later for you, okay?”

“No, no.” He bit his lips and pouted. His dark eyes looked wet, but his large soft tail was wrapped tightly around Valerie’s ankle. “Please don’t leave, okay?”
Valerie clutched her chest—oh, her heart!
Who could bear to leave him?
In a helpless, half-joking tone, she said, “Come on, I’m really in a rush to find a groom now. If only you were over twenty years old, you could’ve helped me out.”
