Chapter 13 

 

Today went roughly like this. In the afternoon after finishing the pheromone test, the Omega freshmen present all went crazy. By the time they emerged from the theory test in the evening, it was all the Alpha freshmen’s turn to go crazy one after another.

 

The virus-like rumour of the so-called “S-class Omega” continued to spread and by the end of the evening, the whole school had gone completely mad.

 

Some couldn’t wait to see what this S-class Omega was all about. While many remained sceptical, their scepticism didn’t last long as the following afternoon the results of all the freshmans’ divisions were officially announced.

 

The information boards were packed with people, from those who were happy to have made it to the faculty of their choice, to those who were upset that they missed out.

 

The one in the far corner only had sixty names on the bulletin board. It looked much emptier than the other few that gave off the impression of being densely packed.

 

This was the list of new students admitted to the quadruple faculty this year. The number of places available was still as scarce as ever, but it was still the most talked about at the announcement site.

 

Standing at the corner to read the list were many other senior students.

 

At the top of this list were two freshmen with S-class pheromones that stood out in particular.

 

Both of them were assigned to Integrated Class 3. One was named Wen Xingchen and the other was Lu Jingning. One was an Alpha and the other an… Omega.

 

Yes, an Omega managed to enter the Imperial Navy’s Great Integrated Warfare Faculty!

 

The moment this list was announced, the whole school inevitably remembered Lu Jingning’s name as he was destined to be extraordinary.

 

…

 

Because he was already assured of his admission in advance, Lu Jingning did not go to read the faculty division announcement. Instead, he huddled under his blanket and slept all morning.

 

He has always loved to sleep since he was a child and was always taking a nap no matter what he had to do. He didn’t know if it had anything to do with his own somewhat special pheromones.

 

Lu Jingning was sleeping there when Yan Hebin went out. When he came back, he found that this person was still in the same position and never moved, so he couldn’t help but go to the head of the bed and tap him gently with the LCD board: “Still sleeping? Don’t you want to get up and look at the course schedule?”

 

“What course schedule?” Lu Jingning dazedly pulled open his covers.

 

Yan Hebin said, “The faculty division is over and the course class timetables are out. There are classes starting this afternoon, so if you want to keep sleeping, you have to check if there are any classes first.”

 

“……”

 

Lu Jingning froze slightly for a moment and brought the communicator at his bedside over to see that there was indeed a new document waiting to be read.

 

Sending these messages out so quickly at this time… He had a bad premonition about this.

 

When he opened it, he found out he actually had a class scheduled for this afternoon.

 

Pheromone Manipulation. At first glance, it seemed like a class with a particular haughty title. It was something that he was never exposed to in high school.

 

Lu Jingning ruffled his messy hair, casually looked through his communicator and found a dozen unread messages.

 

Three or four of them were from Qingcang. He took a look at them. The bulk of the message informed him that the faculty selection was over. The other also expressed regret for not being able to enter the same class with him before finally reminding him that there was class in the afternoon and that he shouldn’t oversleep.

 

At this moment when he was asleep, this old friend, who knew him excessively well, never came to disturb him.

 

Other than these messages from Yu Qingcang, the rest came from his old man, Lu Kongbin.

 

While the tone of the first few messages seemed fairly calm and was mostly asking about his final class placement in a pretentious manner, the next few looked like they were clearly getting progressively more and more impatient.

 

Later, he probably called the school personally to ask about it. His tone was suddenly extraordinarily uplifting, even after never receiving any reply, he only sent over an audio clip.

 

Lu Jingning yawned and didn’t think much about it. He lazily pressed the play button.

 

Lu Kongbin’s voice was instantly played without reservation: “How worthy of my son Ning. To have straight S-class pheromones! You really have some resemblance to myself in my youth hahaha! Congratulations on your entry into the Quadruple Faculty, but this is only the first step, it’s up to you to unify the Imperial Navy now. Show them how good Lu Kongbin’s son is, hahahahahaha…”

 

The latter did not finish speaking when Lu Jingning turned it off directly with a shake of his hand.

 

Turning back with a head full of black lines, he met the judging eyes cast by Yan Hebin and curled the corners of his mouth awkwardly, “Ahem, my dad is like that.”

 

He said, “Your father is very energetic.”

 

Lu Jingning: “……”

 

Why did a word like “energetic” sound so strange when applied to someone as old as Lu Kongbin?

 

…

 

After everything, Lu Jingning had class in the afternoon, so he could only get up reluctantly.

 

He didn’t bother to go to the canteen at mealtime, and just heated up a thermos lunch box before eating it, seeing that it was almost time to head out.

 

He had just worn his shoes when he heard Yan Hebin suddenly ask, “Are you not going to put on your uniform cap?”

 

Lu Jingning looked outside at the somewhat sunny stars and casually responded, “Ah, no, I’m not afraid of getting a tan.”

 

He didn’t really mean anything by it, so he didn’t say much and continued to focus on building his mecha model.

 

Lu Jingning carried his satchel out of the door. Only when he was halfway to his destination did he seem to understand the reason why Yan Hebin had asked him that before he left at the door.

 

He didn’t go out in the morning, so naturally he didn’t know the uproar he was causing in school.

 

As the Integrated War Faculty was the most elite institution in the whole school in terms of the entire student population, in order to encourage the students to respect these elites, the bulletin board not only neatly and uniformly listed out all the selected candidates, but also featured photos of all the elite new students. After this morning, almost all those present had already clearly memorised Lu Jingning’s appearance.

 

It was because of this that he kept receiving stares from all directions while walking around, as though he was the new man of the hour.

 

But Lu Jingning had thick skin, so he just accepted the stares and even enjoyed it as he walked slowly.

 

His presence silenced the otherwise lively classroom for a moment.

 

The sudden appearance of an Omega in a room full of Alpha, no matter what, would always bring about strong incongruities.

 

Lu Jingning walked in without glancing at them, and unsurprisingly saw a familiar figure, so he walked over and asked with a smile, “Is there anyone sitting here?”

 

From his angle, the seat next to Wen Xingchen was indeed empty, but the others knew that Jian Luan, who had just been here, had temporarily gone to the washroom.

 

Everyone had expected Lu Jingning to be rejected without question, but instead they heard Wen Xingchen respond indifferently, “Sit down, there’s no one there.”

 

Then, without changing his expression, he saw him pull Jian Luan’s backpack out from under the table and casually throw it onto the seat at the back.

 

His movements were so skilful and natural that it was as if he was just carelessly disposing of a bag of rubbish.

 

The crowd: “???”

 

Lu Jingning, of course, was nonchalant and simply shoved his bag into the drawer and sat down with a big grin.

 

When Jian Luan came back, he found that there was an extra person in his seat. When he got a good look at that person, he suddenly took a look at Wen Xingchen a bit sadly, but he dared not say anything in case it might anger him and walked towards the back row with an aggrieved face.

 

The others didn’t dare to mess with Wen Xingchen, so they actively gathered around Jian Luan’s side and whispered to pry, “What’s the situation with the two of them?”

 

Jian Luan put the bag back down and said expressionlessly, “Do you know why some grandmas can live for hundreds of years? That was because she always minded her own business!”

 

The crowd: “…”

 

Jian Luan coldly and solemnly dismissed them. As he looked at the two who were sitting next to each other in the front, he could not help but look up at the ceiling.

 

He never imagined that a man like Wen Xingchen would be the lustful type after falling in love, simply careless about the way he treats his friends!

 

Thinking of this, he looked up again and the two were glued together now. He didn’t know what to say, the two tightly clasped hands were very visible.

 

Jian Luan: “……”

 

What a disgrace. Flirting and touching each other in public! It’s a disgrace!

 

…

 

The two in front of him were comparing their hand strength, completely unaware of what was wrong with their actions.

 

Wen Xingchen: “You do have quite a lot of power.”

 

Lu Jingning: “Right? How else could I be S-class, hehehe.”

 

Wen Xingchen: “That, I really didn’t think of it before.”

 

Lu Jingning: “What? An Omega can’t be S-class?”

 

Wen Xingchen: “Before the test, I didn’t think I would be S-class.”

 

After hearing him add this, Lu Jingning felt much better and revealed an arrogant smile, “So, Wen Xingchen, you should be more careful from now on! I’m determined to become number one among the new students!”

 

Wen Xingchen lowered his eyes to glance at the overly dazzling face and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, “Go for it.”

 

Lu Jingning: “…”

 

Sometimes this guy was really annoying, always looking so unconcerned with the world, blandly encouraging others like this. It’s no wonder that whoever came to pick a fight last time got pissed-off half-to-death instead.

 

It always sounded like a concealed provocation! F-ck!

 

Thinking of the straight up cancerous Alpha he saw last time, Lu Jingning suddenly developed a hint of interest.

 

He wondered if that man’s pride was hurt and swollen after the results of the faculty selection was released?

 

The bell rang outside as a sturdy figure stepped into class on time, walking in through the door, “Hello everyone, I’m your teacher for the Pheromone Manipulation, Jihan.”

 

Lu Jingning froze slightly when he saw the newcomer, not expecting it to be the same invigilator who said he might not teach him during the theory test the other day.

 

Let’s just call it a kind of karma.

 

After introducing himself, he cut to the chase: “So, in order to get to know you better, I will invite you all to come up and demonstrate your pheromones one-by-one in our first class, so please be ready.”

 

Someone hesitated, but still asked weakly, “Teacher, do you mean… everyone?”

Jihan: “Yes, everyone.”

 

As soon as he finished his sentence, everyone fell silent.

 

Those who were able to enter the Quadruple Faculty are all at least A-class elites and were naturally confident about their pheromones.

 

Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem showing it in public, but in this case – there was an Omega in their class!

 

The crowd subconsciously cast their eyes towards Lu Jingning in horror.

 

Everyone knew about the relationship between the Alpha-omega pheromones and its masked ability. Was the teacher preparing them to cause a large-scale rutting scene or was it simply to test their patience?

 

Either way, it was just their first class, were they going to cause such a ruckus?

 

What the author wants to say: 

Lu Jingning: Tremble, mortals~

 

T/N: Have a good day, take care of yourself. I heard many people are getting sick again because of it’s flu or covid season again. ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ

Chapter 52 – A Jealous Human

July 4, 2022 / / 11 Comments

Chapter 52 – A Jealous Human

 

The entire dining table was suddenly dead silent, and even someone as airheaded as Jian Luo could feel that he probably said something that shouldn’t have been said?

 

Jian Luo hesitated: “What’s wrong?”

 

The dragons looked at each other, and their hearts were quite complicated. If they said something, the Marshal might be unhappy. But they couldn’t not say it after eating Luoluo’s food. If they didn’t even tell the truth, could they even be considered friends now?!

 

“…”

 

After a sad silence, someone with a fair conscience finally gave a compromising answer: “This is going to be different between different dragons.”

 

“Yes, yes.” A little soldier also echoed: “And depending on the situation, the dragon’s scales can actually change.”

 

Jian Luo was very curious: “Really?”

 

The little soldier bit his bullet and nodded: “Yes, for example, you can see that my scales are cold now, but a while after I eat, the temperature will change.”

 

Another said: “My scales are hot right now.”

 

Jian Luo was very curious.

 

When the soldier saw his bright eyes looking at him, he smiled shyly: “Do you want to touch it?”

 

Jian Luo didn’t think this was something inappropriate, so he nodded, and was very amazed: “You are a golden dragon!”

 

The little soldier’s face was a little red: “Yes.”

 

The dragon family is actually a very proud race in its bones, but they do not usually show it often. Now that he was being asked by Jian Luo, he couldn’t help but feel a little shy and proud, especially after being looked at with such admiration.

 

The soldier coughed lightly: “A golden dragon is nothing special…”

 

“It’s very beautiful.” Jian Luo loved gold so much. The dragon arm in front of him had a layer of light golden scales, which shone in the sun and were extraordinarily beautiful. Just as he reached out to touch it, someone grabbed his hand.

 

Jian Luo was stunned. He raised his head.

 

Lu Shifeng looked down at him condescendingly, and said solemnly, “What are you groping?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo was very aggrieved: “I got the consent of others!”

 

“You can touch it if they agree?” Lu Shifeng pulled him to the side and stood there: “If you come here to eat, then just eat. Don’t simply grope others.”

 

Jian Luo pouted.

 

A few small soldiers were very nervous when they saw Lu Shifeng coming. Firstly, it was because the dragon king’s hostility was not really hidden, and secondly because when everyone was still a young dragon, there was not any one of them that did not undergo the dragon king’s training.

 

It was a traumatizing experience okay?!

 

The soldiers were vicious fighters on the battlefield, but in front of Lu Shifeng, they were all inexplicably honest, like elementary school students seeing the headmaster.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at them and said, “Start eating. If it’s not enough,ask the kitchen to deliver more.”

 

The soldiers said earnestly: “Yes!”

 

Then, Jian Luo was pulled away and returned back to his initial hotpot table. Jian Luo was very dissatisfied: “I really didn’t force myself on others to touch their scales.”

 

Lu Shifeng sat down beside him: “I know.”

 

Jian Luo was curious: “You know, yet you still blamed me?”

 

“Outsiders can’t touch the scales of the dragon family casually.” Lu Shifeng said lightly: “Sometimes it will cause you to get into trouble.”

 

??

 

Was this his point?

 

It happened that Secretary Jin was next to him, so Jian Luo didn’t rely on Lu Shifeng anymore, but looked sideways at Secretary Jin curiously: “Secretary Jin, you are also of the Dragon family, so what’s the trouble?”

 

…

 

She was the one who was about to get shot even though she didn’t do anything.

 

Secretary Jin picked up a piece of meat in the pot, dipped it in the sauce and stuffed it into her mouth: “It depends on the situation. Generally, if you already have a partner, it is best not to touch the scales of other dragons, otherwise it will easily lead to conflict.”

 

Jian Luo didn’t know there was such a thing: “Then if it’s just to normally appreciate their scales. What other way is there to do so?”

 

“…”

 

How can someone from the same dragon clan want to appreciate the scales of the same clan member?

 

It’s as strange as if a human suddenly wanted to start touching each other’s hands, right?

 

If you were not from the dragon clan, you basically had no chance to touch the scales of a dragon. After all, the dragon clan valued their privacy very much, but she didn’t know why the others were very close to Jian Luo and were willing to allow it.

 

Secretary Jin glanced at Jian Luo and said casually, “Um, that should be fine, but it’s best not to touch it.”

 

Jian Luo nodded as if he understood, “I see, maybe touching it will make others unhappy and cause me to get hurt.”

 

Secretary Jin glanced at Lu Shifeng. He did not say anything, so she didn’t dare to speak.

 

In the current situation, she was not worried that Jian Luo would get hurt, but rather another innocent dragon, but she dared not say or ask it.

 

The little adjutant was rather stupid: “Sorry, if you really like it, Luoluo, you can touch me. I’m half-gold, so you can touch…”

 

Secretary Jin hurriedly interrupted him and started coughing: “Cough!”

 

…

 

The little adjutant closed his mouth, glanced at Lu Shifeng secretly, and met the Marshal’s half-smiling gaze. There was a hint of danger mixed in the cheeriness.

 

The little adjutant’s strong desire to survive made him change his words: “You can’t ever touch me!”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

Lu Shifeng put some meat into his bowl: “Eat.”

 

Sitting cross-legged, Jian Luo began to focus on the bowl. He took a bite of the meat and said, “I’m a little full. I’m going to go to the restroom, you guys eat first.”

 

Secretary Jin said, “7878.”

 

When Jian Luo left, Secretary Jin and the little adjutant accompanied the marshal to eat. They were very cautious when they ate with the marshal, but fortunately, the little adjutant didn’t mean anything by it and was therefore easy-going. In order to liven up the atmosphere, he took the initiative to talk a little bit about fun things to watch online to relieve boredom.

 

As he talked, the little adjutant went a little off topic and started to talk about some emotional issues: “I saw a couple on the Internet yesterday. They were people of different races together. It was quite rare.”

 

Secretary Jin was curious: “Which race?”

 

“Vampires and humans.” The little adjutant pursed his lips and smiled: “They were amazing.”

 

…

 

Secretary Jin’ face was full of black lines. What’s so amazing, their marshals was also with a human being, how was this amazing!?

 

Lu Shifeng was interested: “Oh?”

 

When the assistant saw Lu Shifeng’s interest, he was also excited: “But blood clans are a little different from humans. Humans have better personalities, and they are more clingy. While the character of the blood clan is more arrogant.”

 

Lu Shifeng had a different opinion: “Clingy?”

 

His tone sounded a little wrong.

 

The little assistant coughed lightly: “Yes, yes.”

 

Of course, in front of the Marshal, he was still somewhat restrained: “Actually, they would be more suspicious. For example, if they find out that their partner had some ambiguous rumors with someone else, they will definitely get angry and jealous. If it is a special day, always remember your anniversary. Otherwise, they will be unhappy. Also, their partner has to kiss and hug them every day, so clingy.”

 

Secretary Jin thinks it’s nothing: “Isn’t that what love is all about? Without this process, what kind of love would that be?”

 

…

 

The Lord Marshal was silent.

 

The meal went by quickly following their chat and discussion, especially for those soldiers who were fortunate to eat hotpot after returning from the mission, so much so that they ate till their stomachs broke. When they went back, they were going to show off. You’ve never ate this before, right? It’s a new product! It’s delicious!

 

Compared to them, Jian Luo himself didn’t eat much.

 

“I’ll tell someone to bring you some holy dragon fruit?”

 

Lu Shifeng sent him back to his room.

 

“No, no.” Jian Luo fell back on the bed and lay down: “I’m really not hungry, but I feel a little bloated. I don’t know what’s wrong with me these days, I’m not very hungry.”

 

He was lying flat on the bed, but his lower abdomen that used to lie flat was slightly bulging. It was not very obvious, but there was a curvature.

 

Lu Shifeng stood by and watched for a while before saying, “You have a bump.”

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched his stomach: “Is it there? Could it be that I actually ate too much, causing it to grow?”

 

…

 

Lu Shifeng sat down beside him: “When you were full before and lay down, there was no such bump.”

 

The corner of Jian Luo’s mouth curled up: “So you paid attention to these?”

 

The Marshal did not feel embarrassed at all, but frankly replied: “The changes are too obvious, I didn’t need to observe it specifically.”

 

Jian Luo sighed.

 

He used to think that his pregnancy was very mysterious and a bit unbelievable, and surreal. 

 

But now that he suddenly had a baby bump, it made him feel amazed. When he touched his stomach, it seemed that there was a slight bump. This feeling of progress and being within reach is the most moving.

 

Lu Shifeng said, “You take a break, I’ll go wash up first.”

 

Jian Luo: “…Oh.”

 

Hmph, dog man, even if I’m pregnant, you won’t know how to touch your cub. Go take a bath, you will be washed to death.

 

After being heartbroken for a long time, Jian Luo habitually opened the Interstellar web to watch the news. 

 

A few days ago, he officially authenticated his account online because of the potato incident, but now that he’s logged in to take a look, he had: 100,000 fans.

 

These were some more recent comments:

“Anchor, I knew you were wronged!”

“I like your potato chips the most.”

“Now that Lord Chenguang has been arrested, I hope you can release genuine potato chips.”

 

???

 

Jian Luo suspected that he would not be able to keep up with the times if he did not surf the Internet for a day. With doubts in his mind, he clicked on the homepage of Interstellar web.

 

There was a piece of news on the hot search list: [Star Live Broadcasting Network anchor, Lord Chenguang is suspected of illegal planting, which has caused harm socially. He has been detained and sentenced to life imprisonment. 】

 

It should be mentioned that the Interstellar Live Broadcasting Network can be said to be a relatively large live broadcast website in the whole of interstellar space. Its decline made many people sigh, but it has also allowed countless other websites to take the opportunity to rise. Among them, Jinjiang Live Broadcasting Network was one worthy of the biggest dividend:

“The anchor of genuine potato chips is on Jinjiang Live Broadcasting Network.”

“Everyone can go to Jinjiang and spend 1 star dollar to taste the real thing!”

“Luoluo cooking is super delicious!”

 

Because of the commotion this time round, they manage to hit the jackpot. It became a free wave of advertisements for Jian Luo. His fans are also crazy for him too. Not only did his number of followers on Interstellar web rise like crazy, when Jian Luo opened his information bracelet, he found that his followers on his live broadcast account were also increasing rapidly.

 

Jiang Jiang also took the opportunity to contact him: “Luoluo, you are really amazing, driving traffic to our website by yourself. If I hadn’t just asked for a leave not long ago to upgrade the server on the spot, I might be overwhelmed by now.”

 

Jian Luo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “It’s nothing. It’s what I should’ve done.”

 

“That, Luoluo, I have something to discuss with you.” Jiang Jiang sent a message to him: “I’m thinking, basically, you were there when Jinjiang first established our website. There weren’t many anchors at that time, but you still stayed here till now and I’m really grateful that you’ve contributed so much to the site.”

 

Just as Jian Luo was about to reply, another message came: “Now that our contract is about to expire, I don’t have any other plans and want to renew the contract with you, but this time will be different. I know you should have some money in your hand, so if you want, you can hold a stake in Jinjiang Live Broadcasting Network.”

 

Hold a stake?

 

Jian Luo hadn’t thought about it before, but Jiang Jiang’s proposal was not inconceivable.

 

“Yes, invest in our shares.” Jiang Jiang explained to him in detail: “Actually, you don’t need to do too much, you just need to come up with some money to invest in shares, the accounts will later be split.”

 

Jian Luo asked, “Can I buy as many shares as I want?”

 

Jiang Jiang didn’t force him: “Of course.”

 

“Okay.” Jian Luo responded: “I have about 400,000 in my hands now, and I want to buy some shares.”

 

At this moment, Jian Luo is actually quite familiar with the situation in Jinjiang. Although the traffic has increased, it was not optimistic. The cost of server maintenance has also increased, as it matured as a website. It needs customer service staff, auditors, etc. It’s not something Jiang Jiang can afford alone. He needs shareholders, which makes sense.

 

Firstly, he wanted to invest in Jinjiang because he was really optimistic about the future development of Jinjiang, and secondly, he wanted to relieve Jiang Jiang of his urgent financial burden.

 

Jiang Jiang was overjoyed: “Okay Luoluo. Let’s make an appointment tomorrow to confirm the contract?”

 

Jian Luo had no objection: “Okay.”

 

The two roughly agreed on the time and place before stopping. After Jian Luo discussed it with him, he started watching other gossip news.

 

After he felt very refreshed, he didn’t expect another news to spoil his mood. It was written in a very exaggerated manner: [Details of the sweet romance between the little princess and the marshal]

 

?

 

Ho, isn’t this exciting.

 

Jian Luo lay on the bed and changed his position. As he did so, he clocked on the news, reading a little before progressively seeing this very exciting article. It spoke of the previous love-hate relationship between Lu Shifeng and the little princess. The Lord and the little princess were alumni of the same school when they were still students. At that time, the two people’s grades were very close as classmates, so their relationship was very ambiguous.

 

After graduation, he joined the military and although Marshal Lu spent a lot of his time managing the army, the little princess was still able to get the pity of the marshal and was the only woman who can enter and leave the military at will. After combining these facts, it basically meant that the little princess and the marshal were in love.

 

“…”

 

How stimulating.

 

Jian Luo became inexplicably excited when he saw it. He once said that there was no way Lu Shifeng did not have some romances when he looked like this. Who would believe it?

 

“Creak.”

 

The bathroom door opened.

 

The marshal came out wearing a nightgown. His tall and handsome figure looked eye-catching and his hair was still dripping.

 

Jian Luo sat up: “Have you finished washing up?”

 

Lu Shifeng nodded lightly.

 

“That’s right.” Jian Luo turned over and decided to focus on the course of the gossip. Along the way, he said, “I just scrolled through something on the Interstellar web. Guess what I have stumbled across, it has something to do with you.”

 

Lu Shifeng wiped his hair casually with a bath towel: “What do you mean? Is it regarding how many new parenting encyclopedias have been published by the hospital recently?”

 

…

 

Jian Luo had to say: “Tell me about your past relationship with the little princess.”

 

Lu Shifeng’s movement of wiping his hair slowly slowed down, and he said, “You just finished reading?”

 

Jian Luo: “En, yes.”

 

Inexplicably, Lu Shifeng thought of what the little assistant said today, saying that humans were prone to be more jealous in a relationship. Maybe they will also lose their temper. Will Jian Luo be like that too? The Marshal Lord glanced at Jian Luo with a little bit of a hope that was not easily noticed.

 

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jian Luo expressed his opinion: “If you want me to say it, I don’t think the little princess is very good.”

 

Lu Shifeng was satisfied in his heart. Sure enough, what the little adjutant said was not wrong. Although Jian Luo was a man, he was not immune to the usual stereotype.

 

Jian Luo added another sentence: “In my opinion, what I have to say is that it is obvious that Secretary Jin is more suitable!”

 

“…”

 

T/N: Secretary Jin is mine!! Back off Lu Shifengg, go back to your Luoluo (ง︡’-‘︠)ง

(Vol.2) Chapter 10 – Long time no see, Qi Yun

Chapter 10 – Long time no see, Qi Yun

 

Gao Qiao came over and asked curiously, “So lively? Saying it out loud makes me happy too.” 

 

Xue Qing took the noodles from his hand.

 

“When we came, we made a bet that you would definitely make noodles for Laoxing. If Laoxing loses, he needs to go up and sing a song for you.”

 

Gao Qiaoyi heard this with interest, “Sure thing! Walk right up Laoxing and show us what you’ve got.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was leaning lazily on the sofa, but the familiar aroma made him sit up slowly, “When I finish eating the noodles, I’ll entertain you. Each one of you will get to see?”

 

He picked up the chopsticks and scooped the noodles up before taking a big mouthful. As he was about to swallow it, he gave Gao Qiao a thumbs up. Gao Qiao happily sat aside, “Eat slowly, I’ll make more for you if it’s not enough.”

 

Gao Qiao really liked Xing Zhongwan. Previously, he was two levels higher than Xing Zhongwan. At that time, he didn’t know Xing Zhongwan’s identity, but he just liked this beautiful and surprisingly good-tempered Chinese junior. The two became friends soon after conversing with one another about their similar interests. Later, when he learned about his true identity, Gao Qiao couldn’t shake it off for a while. He couldn’t believe that Xing Zhongwan, who drank with him with his sleeves rolled up, had such an identity. But he didn’t have any self-consciousness as the heir of the X country’s media giant, nor did he have a sense of superiority because of his identity. On the contrary, he was very down-to-earth. Gao Qiao felt that this friend was worth making. After returning to China for two years, although they have not been in contact, their friendship has always been there.

 

“I’ll go after I finish eating.” Xing Zhongwan took a sip of the soup with a smile and suddenly a clean handkerchief was stretched out in front of him. Xing Zhongwan raised his head slightly, took it and said thank you.

 

A flash of red flashed across Xiao Ying’s handsome face.

 

“Boss, shall I sing you a song?”

 

Xing Zhongwan swallowed the noodles and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, “Okay.”

 

Xiao Ying looked overjoyed. He got up and walked towards the middle of the stage.

 

Xue Qing pointed to Zhong Gang, “You’re breaking the rules.”

 

Zhong Gang took a sip of wine, “He begged me for a long time, so I couldn’t help it. Plus, the boss said that we should always give special care to our cash cow.”

 

Xing Zhongwan recently just finished his bowl of noodles, “This child became more mature than he was two years ago. He is a good seedling to cultivate well.”

 

“Obviously he wants to get your heart. You said you like ambitious people. Isn’t his ambition big enough?”

 

Xue Qing lit a cigarette and took a puff.

 

“Can you blame me for looking good?” Xing Zhongwan shrugged.

 

Xue Qing looked at him with unamused disbelief in her eyes as she pushed Cheng Zhengzhe who was close to her in disgust. Cheng Zhengzhe held his wine glass indifferently, ignoring Zhong Gang’s fiery gaze.

 

Gao Qiao said with a smile, “Xiao Ying has been really popular in the past two years and my wife likes him very much. Laoxing, you’re really good at judging people.”

 

Xing Zhongwan squinted. When Xiao Ying started to sing “When Can I Enter Your Heart”, Xing Zhongwan got goosebumps all over.

 

Xue Qing couldn’t help laughing out loud, “Let’s see how you will perform the finale.”

 

Xing Zhongwan disagreed. He was a little sleepy after he was full and he was actually a little tired due to the jet lag from flying back here.

 

Gao Qiao looked at the very handsome boy in the stands, “You are still so likable, regardless by which gender.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was a little uncomfortable when Xiao Ying’s straightforward gaze looked at him, so he got up and moved his aching waist. When he turned his head casually, he turned to the left rear corner. It was very dark and he could not see if anyone was there, but he just felt that someone was looking at him. Xing Zhongwan rubbed the back of his neck. Was it because he was too tired that he was this antsy?

 

Just as he was thinking about it, the singing onstage stopped. A clear male voice said, “Boss, at the annual meeting of the head office last year, you said that your New Year’s wish is to find someone who can take good care of you. I… Can I take care of you?”

 

His face was shy but he was unusually solemn.

 

Xing Zhongwan stood still, what kind of confession was this?

 

Cheng Zhengzhe couldn’t bear it anymore, he got up and hugged Xing Zhongwan, “The current generation is terrifying! In this lifetime, I just heard someone want to take care of you. Laoxing, you should accept, hahaha.”

 

Xing Zhongwan felt a headache. He did not make the brat obsessed after not outrightly rejecting his flowers, did he?

 

Xue Qing was already laughing, and it took her a long time to recover.

 

Xing Zhongwan leaned against Cheng Zhengzhe lazily, “Son, I’ll consider it if you change your gender. Work hard and if you sing well, we can make an album. I’ll let Zhong Gang arrange it.”

 

Xiao Ying froze on the stage and pursed his lips tightly. His face was pale.

 

Zhong Gang stretched out his long legs and led him down.

 

Gao Qiao poured wine for Xing Zhongwan, “Who doesn’t know that Lao Xing likes beautiful women? After so long, no one looks as good as him. If their figures are as good as his’, they won’t be able to catch his eye. I’m worried, will you forever be single? It’s too difficult to look better than you. When are you going to find someone to show me, my brother?”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at him, “You see, this married man is different. With traces of happiness all over his body, he is starting to worry about us single dogs. I have to change the topic. Come come come, let me sing for you. I didn’t attend your marriage ceremony so I have to sing this song for you, otherwise I’ll be sorry for all the times we fought alongside each other.”

 

Gao Qiao smiled and took Xing Zhongwan’s glass, “Then you have to think about what to sing. If you can’t sing well, you won’t be allowed to leave today .

 

Xing Zhongwan walked towards the center of the stage with a smile as Xue Qing coaxed him, “Xing Zhongwan, among the thousands of people in the media, you must be the best singer among them. I will videotape this and post it on for the new employees to watch online so they won’t accidentally miss you and pass you by.”

 

Xing Zhongwan dragged the high stool to one side and tested the sound on the microphone, “You can do it. Just make sure they are not distracted during working hours, I’m recording this so they will make money for me.”

 

Xing Zhongwan adjusted the height of the stool so that it was tall. Those long legs that had nowhere to rest could only step on the edge of the pedal.

 

Xue Qing whistled, “Xing Zhongwan, I absolutely believe that if our group collapses one day, you can definitely make it come back to life with your appearance.”

 

Xing Zhongwan adjusted the microphone and threw a wink in Xue Qing’s direction, “You have vision.”

 

“Tell me, Laogao. What song do you want to hear?”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled in Gao Qiao’s direction, his long and narrow eyes slightly slanted. The DJ standing not far away took a long deep breath.

 

Gao Qiao was also overjoyed and had long forgotten that there were other people present on this occasion. “The Moon Represents My Heart1https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DIiFm7AWP9n4&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1656765397013986&usg=AOvVaw1rve8yD5kX9X1NSYCBi5gR.”

 

Xing Zhongwan nodded and smiled at the waiter on the side, “Sister, bring me a guitar.” 

 

The lady suddenly blushed and quickly got him a guitar. Xing Zhongwan smiled and tuned the instrument, “It’s been a long time since I sang. Gao Qiao, I wish you happiness all the time.”

 

It was very lively over there, but it was dead silent on Shen Congxin’s side ever since he heard Xing Zhongwan’s name. He didn’t dare to speak, and only quietly observed Qi Yun.

 

Qi Yun clenched his glass tightly, his eyes staring at the booth in front of him as he was reluctant to blink. When the young man went up to sing, his straightforward words were obviously a confession. Shen Congxin secretly glanced at Qi Yun, and was frightened by the shadow in his eyes. A cold sweat broke out on his back as the cup that was held tightly by Qi Yun suddenly cracked.

 

Shen Congxin watched as the transparent fragments fell with blood onto the thick carpeted floor. Shen Congxin wanted to go up to check Qi Yun’s injury, but when Xing Zhongwan who was in front suddenly got up, Qi Yun’s body moved a bit. Suddenly, Xing Zhongwan turned his head and glanced at their corner. The light was a little dim, so it was not very clear. Shen Congxin took a breath at the vague outline, so this was his cousin-in-law. He was so… so tall.

 

Xing Zhongwan turned around quickly and that brief glance made Qi Yun tremble uncontrollably, Wanwan, Wanwan…

 

When Xing Zhongwan walked to the middle of the stage, Shen Congxin couldn’t help but cover his own mouth.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s hair was shaved very short and his short bangs were very close to his forehead, with the ends of his fringe all shaved. This hairstyle can’t be pulled off by ordinary people. Shen Congxin can no longer describe his appearance, other than that he was really beautiful and that his whole body glowed white. Especially those eyes, which are long and narrow and slightly raised upwards, with light blue pupils that looked at you with a hint of light and an unspeakable temptation. Shen Congxin felt his nose heating up. He thought that after getting used to seeing the face of his big cousin, he was immune to pretty faces, but he didn’t expect to see his cousin-in-law.

 

Qi Yun’s beauty was one that was cold and hard to approach while Xing Zhongwan was beautiful and stunning. His flamboyance and charisma was unforgettable.

 

And his body, his body was also in very good shape. Those legs…even the high stool wasn’t tall enough for them…

 

Shen Congxin covered his nose, he didn’t dare to look at Qi Yun. His heart was pounding and he was nervous for Qi Yun. The person who he had been thinking about night and day actually appeared in front of him. Shen Congxin felt that the other person would faint in anticipation.

 

Qi Yun’s hand was injured. The broken glass pierced into his open wound, but he felt no pain. The moment he saw Xing Zhongwan, his whole world seemed to stop and his world became quiet. He was afraid that he was dreaming, a very beautiful dream. He didn’t dare to move and even breathed carefully. He was afraid that if he breathed hard, he would wake up from the dream and Wanwan would disappear.

 

That was until the singing sounded in his ears. That crisp, delightful voice with a soft Jiangnan accent suddenly made Qi Yun regain some sense of clarity.

 

The man sitting on the high stool in the middle of the stage, holding the guitar and turning his face slightly with a smile on his lips, glanced in his direction inadvertently. Qi Yun’s heart tightened, his brows couldn’t help wrinkling. It hurt. It hurt so much, but this pain made his heart that has been dead for a long time come back to life.

 

That was his Wanwan. He had thought about his appearance for countless nights, but none of them could be compared with the real deal at this moment. Under the illumination of the stage lights, Xing Zhongwan’s appearance was clearly displayed in front of Qi Yun’s eyes.

 

His Wanwan turned out to be like this. The dirty little boy from before flashed in his mind. Those eyes unexpectedly coincided with the appearance from his memory.

 

Unfamiliar and familiar, that was his Wanwan.

 

Qi Yun’s eyes were hot, sore and a little blurry. He closed his eyes to calm down, but quickly opened them again. He was afraid that in the blink of an eye, the person on the stage would suddenly disappear.

 

Cheng Zhengzhe got up to go to the bathroom, but was suddenly stopped after passing by a booth. Shen Congxin quickly stood up, “Hello.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe blinked, “Qi Yun?”

 

Qi Yun stood up and put his injured left hand behind him as he nodded to him. Beneath his calm exterior, his body trembled slightly while his legs ached from the tension.

 

Cheng Zhengzhe looked at him and couldn’t help but look back at Xing Zhongwan on the stand. His mouth was slightly agape, not knowing what to say.

 

At this time, Xing Zhongwan just finished singing and wanted to come down. Cheng Zhengzhe walked over quickly and pointed to Xue Qing in the direction of Qi Yun and the others.

 

Xue Qing was puzzled, “Why?” 

 

Turning to look, Qi Yun and Shen Congxin had already come out of the booth. Xue Qing sighed and looked back at Xing Zhongwan. It was obvious that Xing Zhongwan hadn’t seen Qi Yun yet.

 

Xue Qing took a breath and signaled Cheng Zhengzhe to leave it alone.

 

Cheng Zhengzhe pointed to this and that before finally choosing to look up at the sky.

 

Xing Zhongwan saw them all standing up and walked over with a smile, “What’s the matter?”

 

Xue Qing pulled Cheng Zhengzhe aside as Xing Zhongwan looked at the tall and straight man who was slowly approaching his front. The smile at the corners of his mouth faded a little.

 

Qi Yun was wearing a khaki sweater and pants of the same color, and was very thin. His back was very straight, as it has always been, even in those awkward days in a wheelchair.

 

Xing Zhongwan didn’t expect to see him again, let alone meet him without a hint of preparation under such circumstances.

 

Qi Yun walked very slowly, getting closer and closer to Xing Zhongwan. Seeing the corners of his curved mouth collapse little by little, Qi Yun became very sad. However, he was also glad that Xing Zhongwan didn’t hide, and that his eyes were fixed to his own.

 

When he came to him and stopped, Qi Yun was a little afraid. It was ridiculous for him to be scared. He thought about Wanwan for a long time but he couldn’t say it.

 

Suddenly, Xing Zhongwan in front of him smiled, although the smile did not reach his eyes.

 

“Long time no see, Qi Yun.”

Chapter 51 – Dragon scales during courtship

 

Jian Luo saw the Lord Marshal standing not far from the shed.

 

The marshal was wearing a straight and orthodox military uniform. His stern face held less of his usual wanton laziness, and was a little more hostile than usual. Jian Luo was a little scared.

 

Jiang Kang was surprised: “Who is he?”

 

Taking advantage of his surprise, Jian Luo trotted to Lu Shifeng: “What are you doing here?”

 

“Didn’t I come at the right time?” Lu Shifeng lowered his head and looked at him: “Did I interrupt you while you were doing something important?”

 

“…”

 

Have you had enough?

 

Jian Luo wanted to prove his innocence: “I had a work matter to deal with with him, so I was late. Were you waiting for me outside?”

 

Lu Shifeng nodded, raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Kang: “Is this your colleague?”

 

Inexplicably, Jiang Kang felt that the word “colleague” contained a little murderous aura.

 

Jian Luo nodded and said to Lu Shifeng, “There is still something he and I have to settle.”

 

Jiang Kang felt a little worse for wear when he saw Lu Shifeng. Dark star people were very easy to distinguish from human beings. Some races were born with grace and self-confidence. That kind of temperament was difficult to conceal. Previously, Jian Luo was like a dust-covered little pearl. He didn’t know what happened after all this time, but there were no longer traces of that inferior temperament and complex of the lower beings on Jian Luo anymore.

 

The most unpleasant sight for Jiang Kang was Lu Shifeng wearing a military uniform. He was not an ordinary dark star citizen, and may even be a member of the military, one of the three major authorities in the Dark Star!

 

Jian Luo turned to look at Jiang Kang: “Jiang Kang, I don’t want to embarrass you either. What we had in the past is over, so there’s no need to mention it. Now that you have stolen the seeds, hand it over and tell me who the mastermind was. I can let it go since you were only instructed to do this.”

 

…

 

Jiang Kang’s face was pale: “Luoluo, don’t talk nonsense.”

 

Lu Shifeng grabbed Jian Luo: “Since he doesn’t want to admit it, it’s useless to ask.”

 

Jian Luo looked at the Marshal in surprise.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at Jiang Kang and said slowly: “As for the person who contacted him to steal the seeds, he has been found. Yesterday, the internet keyboard warriors hired by him have all been arrested and detained in the military prison.”

 

???

 

Jian Luo was slightly surprised: “Really? It went so smoothly?”

 

“Otherwise?” Lu Shifeng helped Jian Luo fasten the first button on his shirt: “Do you need me to introduce you to a lawyer to prosecute them?”

 

“…”

 

You don’t have to.

 

The conversation between the two was very nonchalant, but Jiang Kang was panicking. If he really thought about it, it seemed that the person had not sent him any messages since the afternoon. However, he still had a way out: “What nonsense are you both talking about? I don’t understand.”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him sideways. Seems like it’ll be a waste of words to speak any longer: “You don’t have to understand. There is a new law to be passed by the imperial capital soon. After a credit assessment is carried out on the humans, those with a full credit score will be able to enter Sky City with an ID registry.”

 

Jiang Kang was taken aback.

 

Jian Luo was also a little surprised.

 

How important is an ID registry? If one has an ID registered, they will be able to obtain many things. Not only can one buy a house, there are also many other conveniences that come with having an ID when it comes to information and communication technology agencies, such as purchasing from major retailers.

 

However, Lu Shifeng added slowly: “Those who have a history of committing crimes will be included in the list of dishonest citizens and will obtain an ID registration.”

 

“…”

 

There was a moment of silence in the air.

 

Whether he was in the right or wrong doesn’t matter anymore. Even if Jiang Kang initially still wanted to resist stubbornly, upon hearing this, all his perseverance faded.

 

Yes, 100,000 star dollars was indeed a lot, but if something goes wrong and he loses his rights to obtain an ID registration, wouldn’t he be reduced to a joke?

 

Thinking of this, Jiang Kang suddenly changed his expression and took the initiative to say: “Actually, I do know that person, but I am not collaborating with him. I mainly took the opportunity to approach him and find out his motives, so I can call the police to deal with him for justice.”

 

Jian Luo widened his eyes: “It really was you.”

 

Jiang Kang’s eyes flickered a little: “Luoluo, you have to believe me. All I did was to… help you.”

 

As he spoke, he took out a small plastic bag from the storage space of his bracelet. The bag really contained seeds.

 

Jian Luo was angry when he saw it: “Are you also the one who cultivated and distributed those spoiled potatoes too?”

 

Jiang Kang shook his head: “Luoluo, I’m not with them. I don’t know what happened with the potatoes. They just contacted me suddenly so I don’t know.”

 

Lu Shifeng sneered.

 

Jiang Kang didn’t dare to look at him for some reason. He always felt that this man was very dangerous. Although he didn’t do anything from beginning to end, he was very oppressive.

 

It was getting late and the air around them was starting to turn chilly.

 

Lu Shifeng took off his coat, put it on Jian Luo’s body and said, “You stole the seeds to plant them by yourself, and disregarding whether the quality is suitable for consumption or not, you put them on the market. The cultivation base will judge and issue a suitable punishment for you.”

 

Jiang Kang’s expression was very bad: “You can insult me, but you can’t slander my morality. Are the dark stars that amazing that they can look down on humans like this?”

 

…

 

Just as Jian Luo was about to speak, Lu Shifeng stopped him.

 

“You can’t blame anyone for humiliating yourself.” Lu Shifeng glanced at the sky: “Go back and tell it to the judge.”

 

Jiang Kang was taken aback.

 

As if they received an order, a luxury car came over as two soldiers in military uniforms got out of the car. The two came over and opened a pair of handcuffs as Jiang Kang was restrained skillfully.

 

Jiang Kang started to completely panic and began to struggle: “What are you trying to do? I said I didn’t do it, I just wanted to help. Luoluo, Luoluo, hurry up and explain to them for me. What right do you have to arrest me? Luoluo?!”

 

Jian Luo stood beside Lu Shifeng and did not speak.

 

Jiang Kang still looked at him persistently: “Luoluo, Luoluo. Speak up!”

 

Jian Luo looked on indifferently and said, “Jiang Kang, if I didn’t find out about your theft of the seeds today, will these things be blamed on me as the supervisor if there are peppers of compromised quality on the market in the future?”

 

Jiang Kang choked.

 

“Doing too much injustice will lead to your own downfall.” Jian Luo had no pity for him: “Seek more happiness for yourself.”

 

His indifferent attitude angered Jiang Kang.

 

As a person with a very good exterior image, especially in front of a person who has always been inferior to himself, since childhood, whether in family status or ability, he suddenly lost his pride in front of Jian Luo.

 

Jiang Kang was pinned down as he said, “Jian Luo, what do you have to be proud of? Do you really think you are very powerful? Don’t assume that I don’t know what you are doing. Aren’t you quite proud to be the lover and dog of the dark stars? Even if the seeds are stolen, you deserved it!”

 

Jian Luo said, “So you admit that you took the seeds and also knew about the potatoes?”

 

Jiang Kang snorted coldly, neither admitting or denying it.

 

Jian Luo smiled slightly and said towards a shed not far away, “Director Li, you can come out now.”

 

…

 

Not far from the shed, a figure slowly walked out.

 

Director Li walked out with a heavy face, followed by many senior staff members from the planting base.

 

Director Li’s face was solemn: “It’s because of my lax management, I’m really ashamed.”

 

There are a few senior staff members behind:

 

“Jiang Kang… Back then, there was only one place in the village to study abroad, so I gave it to you. Now what has become of you…”

 

“Are you worthy now?”

 

“Your mother used to go around telling about how good you are.”

 

“This child, I never imagined…”

 

Jiang Kang opened his eyes wide and looked at these people who came out in disbelief. For a long time, he pretended to be virtuous inside out, crafting his own excellent character just to gain everyone’s respect.

 

But now, thousands of people looked at him with contempt and regret in their eyes, as if he was just an insect. There was such a gap between the two different treatments, no one would be able to accept it.

 

Jian Luo said: “There should be others who were bribed just like him. This is how the seeds of potatoes were distributed. Director Li, you need to do a thorough investigation.”

 

Director Li nodded: “I will, Luoluo. You have been wronged. If it weren’t for you, we might not have realized these problems.”

 

Jian Luo didn’t say much.

 

Jiang Kang was completely destroyed. Even if he will not lose his rights to register for an ID, after being found out by Director Li, it will be shameful for him to live in the village in the future. How will he be seen by the others? This was all the fault of Jian Luo!

 

Thinking to this extent, Jiang Kang could hardly control his emotions. He broke free from the person restraining him and rushed over to Jian Luo: “Jian Luo, you b-tch…”

 

“Bang!”

 

Jiang Kang’s body was kicked away just before he touched him. The force of Lu Shifeng’s kick was not something ordinary humans could withstand.

 

Jiang Kang was smashed back to the ground as his whole body twitched twice. He spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t even notice it: “Take this thing back.”

 

The two soldiers came over quickly: “Yes.”

 

Director Li and the others were also dumbfounded. They had heard of Lu Shifeng’s reputation before, but even after hearing it, what they saw still came as a shock, even if they shouldn’t be surprised at all.

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t give them a chance to think and glanced at Director Li: “Investigate about the potatoes. I don’t want this kind of thing to happen again.”

 

The extremely powerful tyrant’s command is absolute. Lu Shifeng didn’t do much, but Director Li’s back broke into a cold sweat: “Yes!”

 

After explaining the matter, Lu Shifeng said to Jian Luo, “Go back.”

 

Jian Luo came back to his senses: “Okay.”

 

The two left the base in tandem. Lu Shifeng’s car was parked outside, and Jian Luo said, “Where are we going?”

 

Lu Shifeng: “You haven’t been back for two days.”

 

Inexplicably, Jian Luo looked at the indifferent face of the Marshal. It seemed he heard something else from it – was it grievance?

 

A very substantial amount of grievance.

 

Jian Luo sat on the soft seat: “The babies are fine.”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him and said in a low voice, “In the health information reported back by the bracelet yesterday, there was an abnormal fluctuation.”

 

…

 

I see.

 

Jian Luo sighed. It was just as he thought, how could Lord Marshal have come to see him? It wasn’t because he missed him for two days that he came here, but because he cared about the dragon babies.

 

Lu Shifeng said, “I’ll send you here in the future.”

 

Jian Luo shook his head: “No, if we’re going to Phoenix Stage, it’s very close, so you’ll still pass it by on the way. However, the planting base is too far away, so you can’t.”

 

Lu Shifeng took out a nearly frozen holy dragon fruit from the small refrigerator for Jian Luo to eat: “When I don’t have time, I will ask Secretary Jin to send you there instead.”

 

Jian Luo still wanted to struggle.

 

Lu Shifeng interrupted his thoughts: “Moonlight has released a lot of new products, all of which have been put in the small kitchen. You can eat them when you go back.”

 

Jian Luo was very straightforward: “It’s great to go back!”

 

“…”

 

The car arrived at the military base soon after. Jian Luo thought he was going back to rest. Unexpectedly, Lu Shifeng said, “There are a few small brigades coming back from their missions today. There is a celebration banquet ahead, so let’s go enjoy ourselves there together.”

 

Jian Luo was very curious: “It’s a celebration banquet, what are we going to enjoy?”

 

In fact, he doesn’t know much about these pastimes. In Jian Luo’s own impression, the military was rigid and cold, if they were not fighting all day long, they were probably on the way to fight?

 

Lu Shifeng said lightly, “You’ll know when you go.”

 

All right.

 

It’s close by anyway.

 

Before he left, Jian Luo also checked himself. In the morning, he only wore a white shirt and jeans for convenience. He was unsure: “Will it be bad for me to dress like this?”

 

Lu Shifeng closed the car door: “As long as you are not wearing a military uniform, anything else will be the same for them.”

 

…

 

Jian Luo gave up.

 

It was his first time visiting to attend a banquet inside the military base. Before walking into the huge auditorium, he had countless imaginary scenarios in his mind, such as the icy soldiers sitting neatly together while discussing the war tactics, and talking about who to kill tomorrow. It would be a gathering full of violence and blood.

 

However, when Jian Luo walked in, he only smelled the smell of barbecue.

 

Inside the restaurant, there were soldiers gathered together in twos and threes on the huge table with their sleeves rolled up as they grilled the skewers of meat with their shoulders lifted. The scene was extremely crowded.

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo felt that his imagination was completely shattered.

 

Obviously, no one has made a sound yet. The moment Lu Shifeng stood at the door, the entire hall fell silent. The whole room that was rowdy just now immediately fell silent. Everyone stood up and saluted Lu Shifeng: “Marshal!”

 

Jian Luo’s eardrums almost burst.

 

The voices of the young dragons or half-dragons in the room were so loud that they almost pierced through the sky.

 

Lu Shifeng said quietly, “Sit down.”

 

The little soldiers in the house couldn’t help but look at Jian Luo. There was a single human being in the dragon clan’s building. It was inevitable that some people would be curious. 

 

Especially since this human being was full of the scent of dragons, which made thing even more exciting. Some people have already started whispering:

“Who is it?”

“He looks so small.”

“The one who looks like he can be squeezed to death with one hand?”

“Please be quiet.”

 

The corners of Jian Luo’s mouth twitched, and he was really speechless at what the dark stars said, especially the silly people of the dragon clan.

 

When Jian Luo accompanied Lu Shifeng and walked inside, he thought that it was an ordinary building from the outside, but when he was inside, he found that there was something different. The back of the building was actually open-air and connected to the outdoor hills behind, where there were various grills full of meat.

 

Jian Luo was surprised: “Why do you only eat meat during dinner together? Shouldn’t you have some cakes, vegetables or something else when you return?”

 

The little adjutant was roasting meat. Hearing that, he said, “We don’t have any food to eat on the way to our mission, only nutrient solution, so we have a tradition of holding a celebration banquet and eating as much meat as we can when we come back.”

 

Jian Luo just nodded.

 

Secretary Jin held a plate and said, “As for vegetables or other foods, we can’t cook it to the standards of our own taste, so we just eat meat.”

 

…

 

Are all dragons always so upfront?

 

Jian Luo was also hungry when he smelled the meat. He was convinced: “I’ll help to get some vegetables and grill some meat.”

 

Secretary Jin has been waiting for Jian Luo to say that for a long time: “Okay.”

 

A new batch of vegetables and meat were delivered from the kitchen. Jian Luo prepared it well before wrapping it up to be eaten. It was a pity that he couldn’t eat the chili peppers the last time he had grilled meat, so he asked one more question: “Do you have chili peppers?”

 

Secretary Jin nodded: “Yes, weren’t the first batch of chili peppers distributed today? We recently received them.”

 

Jian Luo was very moved: “You received them just in time.”

 

Thanks to the technology of the dark stars, all crops had a shortened growth cycle. As such, life has become much more vibrant!

 

Even if it was too late to grind the chili into powder or make it into chili oil, it could still be eaten directly, as long as it tasted spicy!

 

The little adjutant said: “Come here, it’s all been delivered.”

 

Jian Luo sat on the ground on the grass. He had just started grilling when he saw the Lord Marshal sitting in the front seat not far away. There was a lot of roasted meat on the table but he did not touch it much. He was basically still drinking the brewed wine.

 

“Is he not hungry?” Jian Luo was inexplicably concerned: “At least I still ate something before coming here.”

 

Secretary Jin followed his gaze and explained, “Are you talking about the marshal? He has always been like this. The Lord doesn’t eat barbecued meat.”

 

…

 

Jian Luo’s movements suddenly stopped.

 

Secretary Jin asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

 

“…Nothing.” Jian Luo suddenly remembered that at the banquet of the blood clan, the marshal had eaten a few pieces of barbecued meat then: “Why? It’s not like your dragon clan has an aversion towards meat.”

 

When he mentioned this, Secretary Jin sighed deeply: “Who said we do? Actually, the marshal did not have this much of an aversion towards meat before, but one year, he entered the Dragon Valley for training and stayed there for many years… not once ever coming out during this period. Ever since he came out, he has been very picky about food and has a deep aversion to barbecued meat.”

 

Jian Luo suddenly thought of what the driver had said to him before, about how Lu Shifeng was just cloned, he had a genetic defect.

 

The dragon clan had high expectations for him. In order to revitalize their clan and the hope of the entire race, Lu Shifeng entered the abyss of the Dragon Valley to undergo tribulations. As for what happened during that period, no one knows.

 

Was it post-traumatic stress?

 

It is also possible.

 

Secretary Jin said: “The Lord is very picky when it comes to food. Moonlight used to have someone deliver food on a regular basis every month, but he basically didn’t eat it. The time he actually began to eat the food was probably when you started coming here to work.”

 

Jian Luo was flattered: “Me?”

 

Secretary Jin nodded.

 

Jian Luo turned to look at the person sitting on the front seat not far away. Dragons were actually quite open and enthusiastic by nature. They are quite open when it is time for fun. There were also many soldiers who looked like they wanted to mingle with the marshal. But when they all saw that the marshal had no appetite, without any exceptions, all of them decided to give up.

 

…

 

Slowly, Jian Luo had an idea in his heart.

 

Seeing that he was in a daze, Secretary Jin asked curiously, “Luoluo, what are you thinking about?”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo smiled slightly: “I was thinking, do you want to try to eat something fun?”

 

The little adjutant likes to eat the most, and he especially liked to eat the things that Jian Luo made. Hearing this, he was very excited: “What is fun to eat?”

 

Jian Luo clapped his hands together and said, “Hotpot.”

 

…?

 

There was no such thing as hotpot in Dark Star, but there was never a shortage of ingredients and people who were good at using their brains. Those of the dragon clan do not simply like barbecue because it was easy and didn’t require any brains to make, to them, other foods were also welcome.

 

It just so happened that a hotpot meets all the requirements. There was no need to use their brains or skills, plus they could also eat the hotpot according to their personal preferences.

 

Secretary Jin said, “How do you eat a hotpot?”

 

“It’s a dish that’s easy to cook for all ages.” Jian Luo arranged for a pot to be sent from the kitchen and began to put peppers and other spices into the pot at the bottom of the pot to be cooked: “Hotpot is really the savior of the world.”

 

The dark stars also had their own eating habits, so they also had their own spices. There were some that Jian Luo was not used to eating, while the other basic ones were okay.

 

Jian Luo cut the peppers and put them in to cook when the oil was hot. He took advantage of the time to get in front of Lu Shifeng: “I cooked hotpot, do you want to come and eat it together.”

 

Lu Shifeng played with the cup in his hand: “Just eat it with the others.”

 

…

 

It was impossible for Jian Luo to follow his instructions.

 

Since you didn’t eat barbecue, I have taken great pains in terms of labor and management to make a hotpot for you. Now, you’re asking me to eat it with them, how could it be possible!

 

“No, no.” Jian Luo tugged at his arm: “Let’s eat it together. A hotpot is fun when more people eat it together. Aren’t you hungry? I’m hungry, even if you’re not hungry and I want to eat with you. If you won’t eat, then you don’t need to eat it, but I’ll eat it instead.”

 

…

 

Marshal Lu has not been threatened by anyone for a long time, but the arrogant man still couldn’t get angry with him. He could only nod his head in the end: “Alright, let’s go eat together.”

 

Jian Luo’s lips curled up: “Okay!”

 

The process of cooking the hotpot soup base was very simple and fast. The aroma of chili spread out as Jian Luo prepared the dipping sauce and taught Secretary Jin how to mix it together.

 

Slowly, some dragons who were eating the barbecue couldn’t stand it anymore.

 

A dragon came up and asked, “What is this, can we also taste it?”

 

Jian Luo said generously, “Yes!”

 

He boiled a piece of meat in the pot and then gave it to the soldiers. The meat cooked in the pot has been marinated by the soup and has a spicy taste. After dipping it in some delicious sauce and putting it in one’s mouth, the flavour which was distinctively different from the barbecued meat was very delicious. It was also salty and flavorful. There was an endless good aftertaste after just taking a bite.

 

The soldier’s eyes lit up: “Delicious!”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “It should be.”

 

“Yeah! The barbecue is no longer fragrant.” The soldier was very excited: “It’s so delicious, you are amazing!”

 

The members of the dragon clan were very direct, unlike the marshal.

 

The soldier put his hand on Jian Luo’s shoulder in an intimate manner: “Are you the chef invited by our marshal? This hotpot is so delicious, you…”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at the intimate gesture between the two, reflecting the terrifying possessive nature of the dragon clan. Even among the same clan, members won’t allow for their own things to be shared with others, and this includes people. The marshal said lightly: “I want to eat by myself. Stay away from the chef.”

 

The soldier quickly withdrew his hand.

 

Jian Luo thought for a while. If everyone came to eat together, this small pot would be rendered inefficient. He said, “Tell the kitchen to send a few more sets. You can cook on your own. I’ll teach you how to cook it.”

 

The little soldier nodded happily: “Okay!”

 

The kitchen responded very fast. Several dishes and seasonings were delivered. Jian Luo asked Lu Shifeng to eat first before going over to tell the soldiers a few precautions. Usually, he viewed the soldiers of the dragon clan as unfriendly, but once he mixed with them and chatted more, he felt that they were actually very enthusiastic and easy to understand.

 

Sure enough, Jian Luo had different impressions of each clan. The people in Moonlight all put their own interests first while the people at Phoenix Stage always had a sense of unapproachable seriousness. The blood clan was always proud and it’s unknown what they were scheming. As for the dragon clan, it was Jian Luo’s favorite clan in his heart. They were warm and generous, quite simple and he felt happy to get along with them.

 

A soldier said, “Luoluo, you are so good at cooking, so why haven’t you been snatched up by Moonlight?”

 

Jian Luo said while stirring the bottom of the pot, “I don’t have to go to Moonlight. You guys here are pretty good too.”

 

“Yeah, yeah.” The little soldier rolled up his sleeves. Because he was too excited to eat, a lot of scales appeared on his face: “We’re all here. Plus, you can go to the hanging garden to play if you have nothing to do. There are also little dragons there. The little dragons prefer to play with other people.”

 

When Jian Luo retracted his hand, he accidentally touched the arm of the soldier next to him. There were a lot of scales floating on his arm, but it was actually cold to the touch which made Jian Luo feel very strange: “Will the temperature of your dragon scales change?”

 

The soldier was curious: “What?”

 

“Aren’t your scales hot when they appear on your skin?” Jian Luo was very surprised: “Your body is cold.”

 

He had only touched Lu Shifeng’s scales before, and it was hot, like a big oven. It was now summer, which made Jian Luo not very fond of touching Lu Shifeng in his human form. It was only cool and comfortable when he was in his dragon form.

 

…

 

There was silence around the table.

 

Several soldiers looked at each other and fell into a strange silence. They didn’t know whether to say it or not. The scales of the dragon race only get hot when they are in heat or in courtship.

T/N: Yummy yummy… I wanna eat hotpot too…

(Vol.2) Chapter 9 – Reunion (Part 2)

June 30, 2022 / / 3 Comments

Chapter 9 – Reunion (Part 2)

 

The sanatorium called, saying that Guan Yang has been on a hunger strike for a while because she wanted to see Qi Yun. As such, the doctor had no choice but to contact Qi Yun.

 

Qi Yun arrived at the sanatorium that night. He walked into Guan Yang’s ward and saw her on the bed

 

She was tied up, and her hair was messy with dull eyes. Where was the noble and glamorous look of her prior years?

 

Qi Yun ordered the people to go out before sitting on the chair beside her bed. Guan Yang turned her head to look at Qi Yun with difficulty. Her thin and sunken eyes burst out with indescribable anger the moment she saw him.

 

“Are you there?” The dry and broken voice sounded like a demon who had climbed up from the depths of hell.

 

Qi Yun looked at her steadily with no emotion in his eyes.

 

Guan Yang laughed out loud, “You’re still the same. I’m not happy to see your face.”

 

Qi Yun took off his leather gloves, “Do you want to die so much?” 

 

“Should I wait to be humiliated by you? Are you not afraid of going to hell after death for treating your own mother like this?”

 

Guan Yang’s eyes were full of wrinkles. The dark days spent in the nursing home made her age rapidly. Even if living was better than death, living like this was also suffering.

 

“You can’t die yet, you need to atone for your sins while you’re still alive.”

 

Guan Yang was startled, but she suddenly burst into laughter, “What am I guilty of? The ones who are guilty are you, all of the Qi family and the Guan family who wanted to cling to power. My father liked the Qi family because of their power. He forced me to marry into the Qi family, to marry that sick child. I lived day and night in the Qi family as the years went by. I thought I could marry your father and sacrifice my love. Who would have thought that his body would be so useless? How much effort did I spend to conceive you? Your father was not good so I pinned all my hopes on you. Who would have thought that the dead old woman would take you away?! Qi Yun, tell me. At Qi’s house where they ate people and didn’t even spit out their bones, what would happen if I didn’t fight to survive? Hahaha, I sacrificed so much so I should get what I want. I’m not satisfied! I never thought that my own son would actually pull me down with his own hands. Qi Yun, you do hate me so much.”

 

The strong smell of disinfectant in the ward reminded him of the days when he was paralyzed in that suburban villa, when he couldn’t see or move. Where he did not receive any love.

 

“Do you think of me as your son at all?”

 

Guan Yang was taken aback. She turned her head to look at the ceiling and a line of tears suddenly flowed from the corner of her eyes.

 

“I tried my best. When I came back to you, I wanted to try my best to be a good son, but you didn’t want to be my mother. You pushed me away with your own hands.”

 

Qi Yun lowered his head. He’s been having severe migraines recently. The long-time insomnia only made his headache worse, which could only be relieved by painkillers.

 

“You are too similar to the Shen family. When I saw you, I was constantly reminded of my past when I compromised to get power. I couldn’t like you. Qi Yun, you are my shame.”

 

Guan Yang’s words were clear. Qi Yun stood up, “Mother, take care of your body. Your body is related to the honor and disgrace of the Guan family. You must live well.”

 

Guan Yang turned his head in disbelief, “Qi Yun, how dare you? Are you not afraid of karma?”

 

As Qi Yun turned around and walked towards the door, Guan Yang’s body was struggling, “Qi Yun, you are a monster! A monster without a heart. You can’t get happiness. A person like you won’t even bow to the heavens. I pity you. What’s the difference between you and me? No wonder Xing Zhongwan left you, someone like you doesn’t deserve anyone’s love.”

 

Qi Yun paused, then opened the door and went out, telling the doctor, “Take care of her, don’t let her die.”

 

The doctor called the nurse in to give the emotional Guan Yang a tranquilizer shot.

 

Shen Congxin approached Qi Yun. He heard Guan Yang’s words from the outside. The mother and son pair were like enemies and he was in no position to express his opinion on their relationship. He only cared about Qi Yun’s body, and his face was very dark.

 

“Big cousin, I have nothing to do tonight. Shall we go out and relax and have a drink?”

 

The entourage behind him put a coat on Qi Yun. Qi Yun didn’t stop, so Shen Congxin followed behind quickly, “It’s a very quiet bar, you will recognize the owner of the bar after I tell you more about him. He’s a family friend of the Shen family surnamed Gao. He just returned from abroad. The security is good. Since you work all day long. It’s good to relax once in a while. “

 

Shen Congxin peeked at Qi Yun’s face and followed him into the parking lot. Seeing that he had not responded, he thought that bringing up the matter had been a wrong move.

 

Qi Yun sat in the car and looked at the dejected Shen Congxin, “Why are you not in the car yet? Lead the way!”

 

Shen Congxin raised his head in disbelief. He was belatedly happy and hurriedly got into the passenger seat, “Alright, good. I’ll lead the way.”

 

Today, the sun really rose from the west. His eldest cousin actually agreed. His Godmother must have blessed him from heaven.

 

Shen Congxin and Qi Yun walked into this bar in the downtown area and the quiet was really different from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The bar was in the center and there was a big stage full of musical instruments. Shen Congxin told Qi Yun that the resident singing skills here are very good and some of them become artists when they leave. Qi Yun was not interested in this. The reason why he followed Shen Congxin here was mostly because he did not want to go back and face his empty room.

 

The owner of the bar was a rich second-generation businessman surnamed Gao. He came back to open this bar a year before the last and it was very popular in the circle. There was a membership system so the people who could come in were either rich or exquisite.

 

The waiter at the front desk called him and he said yes. When a distinguished guest arrived, he thought about what kind of distinguished guest he could be, but when he saw Qi Yun, he almost couldn’t hold back.

 

“What a rare guest!”

 

Gao Qiao stretched out his hand, and Qi Yun shook it for the sake of courtesy, obviously not wanting to talk more. Gao Qiao understood that with Qi Yun’s current status, even extending his hand was already giving him a lot of face.

 

He hurriedly told the person in front of him what to do before Shen Congxin stopped him, “Somewhere quiet.”

 

Gao Qiao understood and hurriedly led them to a quiet location on the side with a good view.

 

This was a fully open bar and there were no private rooms. There was no one in sight but the bodyguards that Qi Yun brought were all quietly scattered around the seats around Qi Yun, quietly watching the surroundings.

 

Gao Qiao let them open a bottle of antiques.

 

Shen Congxin pointed at him, “You sure started preparing early today. I thought we arrived a little too early, but I didn’t expect that you were already finished preparing everything.”

 

Gao Qiao poured wine for the two of them, “Today was also a coincidence. I was abroad, but a few of my good friends came back to China today and said they wanted to come and see me, so we aren’t actually open for business today.”

 

Shen Congxin picked up the wine glass, “Will we disturb you?”

 

Gao Qiao shook his head quickly. Qi Yun was here and he didn’t dare to disturb him even if he had a lot of courage.”No, you can do your thing and they will do theirs.”

 

“Speaking of which, didn’t you always want to connect with Qingyuan Capital?” Their meeting was pushed back by Zhong Gang for an unknown number of times.

 

“One of the people here today is the real boss of Qingyuan. I can introduce you to each other.”

 

Shen Congxin’s eyes widened, “Really? Thank you so much, Brother Gao.”

 

Gao Qiao hurriedly said something polite, but his eyes couldn’t help but glance at Qi Yun. Qi Yun didn’t speak and sat quietly in the corner, rubbing his forehead.

 

He seemed to feel that someone was looking at him. He raised his head and looked over at Gao Qiao. When he quickly opened his eyes, it was so f-cking scary that his eyes seemed to eat people. As he was embarrassed, a clear female voice came from the door, “Laogao, come out to pick up the guests quickly, Laoniang is here to spoil you.”

 

Gao Qiao looked overjoyed. He got up and said sorry to Qi Yun before walking quickly to the door .

 

Seeing Xue Qing at the door, he couldn’t help but give her a big hug, “I’ve kept you waiting.”

 

Xue Qing pointed at him with a smile, “I haven’t seen him for a few years, and you’re still in good shape. They say that after men get married, they will become fat. You haven’t changed at all, not bad.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe behind her tilted his head forward, holding three red envelopes in his hand, “Laogao, Laogao, red envelopes for you.”

 

Gao Qiao patted his shoulder, “You guys are still so polite. What kind of relationship do we have to have to fake these courtesies?”

 

“Of course we do. Remember to double it when I get married.”

 

Xue Qing gave him a blank look, “That’s if you can get married.”

 

“Why can’t I get married?” Cheng Zhengzhe was dissatisfied. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Gao Qiao quickly changed the subject, “Where’s Laoxing? Why do I not see him?”

 

“He’s looking for a parking space. Don’t worry about him, let’s drink first.”

 

Gao Qiao led them to the center as Shen Congxin looked over curiously. Qi Yun was in a trance with his wine glass and didn’t know what to think.

 

At this time, after the commotion at the door, the two people walked in. Cheng Zhengzhe looked up and hurriedly sat down beside Xue Qing. Xue Qing wanted to push him away, annoyed.

 

He just saw Zhong Gang walking pass with a boy with a very stunning appearance.

 

“Why did he come? Seems like the word spread fast. Sissy, ask for more blessings for yourself.” 

 

Xue Qing looked like she was about to watch a good show.

 

Zhong Gang walked over and sat next to Gao Qiao very calmly, “I heard that the boss will come, so Xiao Ying wanted to come over and have a look.”

 

He glanced at Cheng Zhengzhe, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Cheng Zhengzhe only looked indifferent, sitting closely next to Xue Qing.

 

Xue Qing looked at the boy who was picked up by Xing Zhongwan in the practice room two years ago, “I heard that you have had a crush on Laoxing for many years. Laoxing’s secretariat office has enough roses to open a flower shop now. It won’t be easy, but courage is good. Good luck!.” 

 

The boy was very calm, “The boss is a very good person.”

 

Xue Qing raised her eyebrows. She did not want to scare away the child. Picking up the wine and looking forward, a tall figure appeared at the door. Xing Zhongwan tossed his car keys and walked in with a pair of big sunglasses, “Laogao, it’s really difficult to find parking here, but the interior decor is not bad.”

 

Gao Qiao immediately got up and greeted him, “You’re here. I haven’t seen you for a long time. Let’s have a few drinks today and see if you or I will fall first.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took off his sunglasses, “What you said, don’t regret it!”

 

Leaning on the sofa carelessly, he nodded to Zhong Gang. The little boy beside him looked at him, a little shy. Xing Zhongwan sat up straight and thought carefully, “Who are you? Who is this?”

 

“Boss, I’m Xiao Ying. I was in the practice room at the headquarters two years ago. Do you still remember me?”

 

“You’re very popular, not bad! Keep working hard.”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled, as the boy looked at him with smitten eyes. If someone said he didn’t have feelings for him, he won’t believe them. It’s not that he didn’t know who sent the flowers to his office, but he really had no interest in men. If the other person were a girl, he might consider it. Though he really didn’t like to touch his subordinates. But it was okay to have a deeper understanding of what your type is.”

 

The whole company knew that Xing Zhongwan didn’t touch men, but this kid was quite persistent.

 

Gao Qiao rolled up his sleeves, “Since you came back today, I’ll cook a bowl of noodles. I already knew you were coming so I’ve come prepared. Wait here.”

 

Xing Zhongwan got up and hugged him, “Laogao, I think your noodles have been around for many years. It must’ve been really hard for you to cook noodles in a bar, but what should I do? I just love your noodles to death, thank you so much.”

 

Gao Qiao pointed at him with a smile before turning around and going into the bar’s kitchen.

 

He moved quickly and a bowl of noodles was prepared after a while. When he brought it out, he happened to pass by Shen Congxin’s table. Shen Congxin stuck his head out to stop Gao Qiao, “Since when could we still order food from your bar? Did you make this yourself? Whose getting such good treatment? I have known you for so many years and have never eaten this before.”

 

Shen Congxin was also half-joking. The two were very familiar with one another and they used to talk in a straightforward manner. If they were curious, they would ask each other casually. Unexpectedly, Gao Qiao was happy today so he did not hide anything, “He is a very good friend of mine abroad. It is a custom in his hometown to cook these noodles.”

 

Shen Congxin asked casually, “Who is it? Do I know him?”

 

“I don’t think you know him. He came straight from abroad. Your Shen family did not set foot into the film and television industry, otherwise you should know something. Half of the private TV stations in country X belong to their group. Qingyuan is also under their group. I will introduce you to him later. “

 

“Country X?” Shen Congxin felt like he touched a nerve.

 

“Yes.”

 

“What’s his name?” Shen Congxin swallowed.

 

Gao Qiao was about to answer him when hurriedly walked away because Xue Qing stood up and laughed, “Xing Zhongwan, get up and sing!” Come on, come on, you lost! Hurry up!”

 

 Xue Qing’s voice was loud, and Shen Congxin heard it all clearly.

 

He looked at Gao Qiao in disbelief, “Xing Zhongwan?” 

 

Gao Qiao didn’t know why, “Yeah, do you know him?” 

 

Shen Congxin turned his head quickly.

 

Qi Yun was holding his cup and had raised his head a long time ago. His eyes were fixed on the booth in front of the stage. His whole body was stiff like a puppet that had lost its traction and his lips were tightly pursed. His five fingers which were holding onto the wine glass began to turn white because of the force.

 

Those beautiful eyes were glowing. He wanted to believe but dared not. When he decided to give up, God just made another huge joke out of him.

T/N: Me eyes are so ded. Please send help and tea (because I don’t drink coffee ahaaha)

Would be great if many hot 2D guys are included, as well as an answer sheet to my test tomorrow (jk cheating is bad. Not just in relationships but also exams *nod nod*) Also, don’t forget to join our discord server for updates on your favourite novels here on HoH~

Chapter 50 – What are you both doing?

June 28, 2022 / / 5 Comments

Chapter 50 – What are you both doing?

 

Jian Luo was also frightened by this situation.

 

Originally, he wanted to start a live broadcast and just do his job, but he didn’t expect things to get so out of control.

 

Jian Luo sighed: “Thank you Feng and Speechless… I remember the online class later. Today’s live broadcast will end here first. I will go and investigate those potatoes. Thank you for your support. I will try my best to find someone to explain everything to everyone.”

 

As soon as the live broadcast was ended, he gasped against the stove.

 

Su Liang came over to support him: “Luoluo, Luoluo, what’s wrong?!”

 

“It’s not a big deal.” Jian Luo sighed and endured: “I just felt a little pain in my stomach.”

 

Su Liang helped him to sit down on the sofa beside him: “My child, you can’t get angry when you are pregnant. What if you get fetal hypertension? Are you trying to stress me to death?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo didn’t understand it very well, but he was a little worried: “Will that cause harm to the babies?”

 

Su Liang sighed: “You must not be angry all the time. When I gave birth to you, it happened during your father’s accident, that’s why you have always been in bad health.”

 

Speaking of the original Jian Luo’s father, Jian Luo almost never heard Su Liang mention it.

 

Thinking about the potatoes, Jian Luo felt very bad. He thought for a while: “Mom, I just received a reward from the live broadcast. I don’t want the money, I want to donate it.”

 

Su Liang was stunned.

 

“I remember there was an orphanage at the entrance of the village.” Jian Luo said, “The children there can’t eat or drink nutrient solution, so they often go to the mountains to dig wild herbs to eat and often get poisoned. I want to donate the money I got to them.”

 

Su Liang thought about it and agreed: “This is the money you make, so mother has no opinions on it.”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “Okay.”

 

He thought this matter was over, but who knew that Lu Shifeng, who was having a meeting in the palace, received a call his wristband. On the huge conference table, many diffrent thought ran through the minds of the people at the table.

 

Nie Yan put away his wristband that he was secretly watching the live broadcast on while the priest also put down his lesson plan that he ahd been preparing as the little emperor raised his head.

 

Lu Shifeng said: “The wristband detected that his heart rate was too high just now, so he must be angry right now.”

 

“What?!” The little emperor was the first to react, wrinkling his face: “If Luoluo is angry, the cubs will definitely be affected as well.”

 

Nie Yan said: “Isn’t it just a question of potatoes? I will go acquire Interstellar Live Network.”

 

…

 

Zhan Wentai said: “He probably does not want us to get involved.”

 

Lu Shifeng tapped his fingertips on the desktop: “It’s better to acquire Jinjiang Live than to acquire Interstellar Live. All kinds of barrages can be posted randomly. He only gets angry when he sees those who speak out loud.”

 

There was a consensus on this matter.

 

Zhan Wentai was relatively rational: “Acquiring a platform is not the final solution. Even if a platform can be acquired, it cannot acquire the public opinion.”

 

Talking about this matter, everyone looked up at the emperor in unison.

 

The little emperor suddenly realized this and was startled: “Why are you all looking at me, do you want me to order troops to go and arrest those who slandered him?”

 

…

 

After thinking about it, the little emperor nodded: “It’s not impossible.”

 

“Your Majesty has such a leisurely mind, but the ministers do not have that much free time.” Lu Shifeng said leisurely: “You have to order them one by one this way, so it’s better to directly issue a punishment for hate speech on the online platform to stop it once and for all.”

 

Nie Yan rarely agreed with him: “What the marshal said is reasonable.”

 

Interstellar Live Network.

 

It was one of the largest Internet sites in the entire dark star, and one of the hot searches on its search engine was very eye-catching.

#jinjiang’s human anchor was awarded one million#

 

In the dark star, there were actually a lot of rich people, but the situation was the highlight of it. Very few of them would ever give a human being that much money. To be precise, it has never happened before.

 

The first human being rewarded with a million star dollars, just hearing this headline made others very shocked and want to eat some melons.

“Is that the anchor who made the potato chips?”

“Looks like it’s really him.”

“What kind of mentality does a person have to have to reward him, someone who makes harmful food for others.”

 

While everyone was talking about it, they suddenly discovered that the official social media account of the dark star government had released the latest laws and regulations regarding information technology:

 

Dark Star Government v1verified (kinda like twitter’s verified tick mark):

[In recent years, information technology has gradually developed, and in the era of freedom of speech, everyone needs to pay for their words and deeds. The Internet is not a platform beyond the law. Dark Star has advocated for civility and equality since the old ages and will never condone any violence and attacks, even if it occurred discreetly. Starting today, major online platforms will immediately implement an online real-name system and the entire web will be monitored online 24 hours a day. If someone violates the regulations, they will be issued the penalties as below. 】

 

Following this official post was the latest regulations. When someone clicks on it, they will see the first regulation in bold and red:
“1. Prohibition of racial discrimination
2. Speculation of unproven rumors are not allowed
3 …”

 

After reading the whole page, one could sum it up to: if you want to avoid breaking the law, you must be civilized. Of course, some people have discovered the main point:

 

“Don’t you feel that these regulations seem to revolve around one thing?”

“That’s right, especially the racism one.”

“…No, this is the official statement of the imperial capital, but why would they help human beings?”

 

Everyone felt a little weird.

 

Of course, although many people have such speculations, they were unwilling to believe it, even in their own hearts.

 

Just after the official social media account of the Imperial Capital released the news, everyone was still a little unsettled and still muttered about this. While everyone was still talking about it, almost at the same time, the official website of Moonlight released some news:

 

Moonlight v: [The hotel adheres to a rigorous regulation and checks. All production methods and the acquisition of raw materials of potato chips are as instructed by @Jian Luoluo2Jian Luo’s social media handle. If you have any questions about the potato chips made by Moonlight, everyone is welcome for inspection. 】

 

Everyone’s social media accounts posted all at once, surrounding them from all four cardinal directions.

 

Early on before, someone once raised the question in Jian Luo’s live broadcast room, and they reasonably suspected that the raw materials of the potato chips made by Jian Luo were of inferior quality. Other than that, because their preparatory methods were also different, it has caused the potato chips circulating on the market to make people unwell after consumption.

 

But now, the official Moonlight has made their appearance!

 

Moreover, the method of making potato chips in Moonlight was actually directed by that human being!

 

The netizens were not calm:

“Moonlight is the leader of the food industry.”

“It’s not easy to be recognized by Moonlight and be invited to instruct there!”

“This is not the point. The point is that it is a legendary thing to invite Moonlight to issue a statement!”

 

Moonlight had a very high status among the dark stars who love food. It was akin to the weathervane3Someone who influences the direction of development, whether it be in public opinion or innovation.

(A weathervane is that iconic chicken-direction-pointing tool on top of rooftops that spin when the wind blows) of the industry. Being recognized by them is equivalent to suddenly becoming the godson of a president of a wealthy family after being recognized.

 

Of course, even so, some people dared to challenge the conventional:

“But it’s a fact that there is a problem with Jian Luoluo’s potato chips.”

“The things that have been researched by humans may not be suitable for us to eat.”

“There must be an explanation for this matter.”

 

Some people wanted to get some clout online, but soon, the others who were watching suddenly realized that the accounts of these people who spoke out were suspended almost immediately.

 

Some good people suddenly recalled the information that was released by the Imperial Capital before that outlined that they would issue out criminal punishment. What exactly was this punishment? Were there really people from the military who will be dispatched? Just because they trash-talked a human?

 

Soon, someone posted some news on Interstellar Live Network:

Cui Zao Zao v: “Everyone, my neighbor was just taken away. Someone from the military came to take him away, it was as if he violated the Interstellar Network Law.”

 

The blogger also attached a picture below. It was a picture of what the neighbor looked like when they were taken away. The military team arrived quickly and took them away right away.

 

Then, not only this blogger, but many other people began to post news saying that their neighbors, colleagues and friends were taken away. This time the military seems to have really made a move. It was no joking matter, and they just took them away without any discussion.

 

“…”

 

For a time, the entire web was silent.

 

Originally, there were people who still wanted to push the blame, but they were all silenced and everyone who was arrogant at first kept their mouths shut, they could not be honest.

 

When these things happened, Jian Luo was asleep, and even after he woke up, he didn’t know what had unfolded.

 

“Eat slowly, you won’t be late.”

 

Su Liang served him vegetables at the dinner table.

 

Jian Luo devoured them: “I overslept, yet you didn’t wake me up!”

 

“Didn’t you feel very unwell yesterday? It’s fine to sleep a little longer.” Su Liang asked him to drink more water: “I’ll take you there in a while…”

 

Jian Luo got up and left: “No, no, Mom. I’m leaving!”

 

He came out to the yard and suddenly saw a very bright little flag on the roof, which looked very dazzling.

 

Jian Luo was curious: “Mom, what is this?”

 

Su Liang came out, glanced at the roof, and then said: “Didn’t you make a donation yesterday? This is the sign of your donation. As our family’s account is registered, and because of the amount of your donation, we were automatically sent this.”

 

“…”

 

What.

 

Jian Luo wanted to keep a low profile, but he never expected this to happen.

 

But now that the matter has already happened, he can’t go back to get the money back, so he could say: “Okay, then I’ll go to work first.”

 

Su Liang responded: “Walk slowly.”

 

Jian Luo opened the door and walked out: “Got it!”

 

He went out of the house and ate a pastry made by Moonlight. When he arrived at the planting base, he was a little sensitive, finding that other people were looking at him in a strange way. If yesterday they were a little curious, today, they were a little fiery.

 

Jian Luo felt uncomfortable as he pushed open the door of the pepper shed before being greeted with a more violent welcome and round of inquiry:

“Mr. Jian Luo, is it true?”

“Is the donation really from you?”

“How are you so rich!”

“My God, when did your family get rich?”

 

Looking at Jian Luo’s face with eager eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable. Originally, he just wanted to solve this matter in a proper and reasonable way, but he never expected it to get so big. Jian Luo looked at the many people and suddenly didn’t know where to start explaining.

 

However, Jiang Kang came over to help him: “Okay, okay. Don’t surround Luoluo. It’s definitely not a mistake that the red flag was issued to him. As for where the money came from, don’t make inquiries and take care of your own affairs properly.”

 

Everyone looked at each other, pouted and walked away.

 

Jian Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Kang, “Thank you.”

 

“You’re welcome.” Jiang Kang’s attitude was very docile, he looked at Jian Luo: “Luoluo, I have something to tell you, can you come with me?”

 

“…”

 

He had something to say again.

 

Jian Luo backhandedly wanted to refuse, but Jiang Kang looked like he couldn’t bear it: “Luoluo, will you listen to me?”

 

Jian Luo pursed his lips, and finally said, “Okay.”

 

The two walked through the shed and found a secluded place outside. That was when he heard Jiang Kang say, “Luoluo, I know about your live broadcast last night. To be honest, I knew that you must’ve been the anchor. You were the most likely person.”

 

Jian Luo admitted upfront: “So what?”

 

“I don’t believe there are any problems with the potato chips you make.” Jiang Kang said frankly, his eyes were affectionate: “I know your character, you would not do such a thing.”

 

Jian Luo didn’t know what to say, so he could only say, “Thank you for your trust.”

 

“Luoluo…” Jiang Kang stepped forward: “If you need my help, you can tell me. I will always be by your side, so you can trust me!”

 

Jian Luo fell back subconsciously: “Thank you, I’ll go first if there is nothing else.”

 

Jiang Kang’s eyes sank and he stepped forward to hold Jian Luo’s hand: “Luoluo, do you think I have no money?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo directly kicked his leg, unable to bear with it any longer: “I think you are sick!”

 

After kicking him, Jian Luo was out of breath. He glanced indifferently at Jiang Kang with a distorted face, turned around and left. It can be said that he did not have any affection for him.

 

Jiang Kang, who stayed in place, looked gloomily at Jian Luo’s back before unconsciously clenching his hands into fists.

 

“Beep.”

 

There is a message from his information terminal.

 

Jiang Kang quickly accepted it and saw the message: “What happened to the negotiated matter? As long as you agree, the deposit will be immediately credited to your account. No one else will know about this matter.”

 

The other party used an anonymous account.

 

“Is it true that no one will know?” Jiang Kang typed quickly: “Deposit the promised 100,000 star dollars, you won’t regret it.”

 

The other party sneered: “Don’t worry. No one will ever know. Just bring me the seeds.”

 

Jiang Kang looked at the chat box with a gloomy expression. He remembered the lack of courtesy Jian Luo treated him with just now. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

 

He never thought that a person could change so much in such a short period of time. Jian Luo really disappointed him.

 

But it didn’t matter. Although Jian Luo has changed, he was not a pacifist. Isn’t it just money? Jian Luo, you will regret it sooner or later!

 

In the afternoon.

 

After lunch, Jian Luo started his routine inspection work.

 

Director Li came over and said, “Luoluo, a new batch of seeds has arrived. Would you like to come and take a look?”

 

Jian Luo stood up: “Okay!”

 

The batch of peppers in the shed were planted with nutrient solution, so they were almost ready to bear fruit. In order to ensure the proficiency of the entire team, he must provide at least three batches of mature peppers.

 

The quality of the pepper seeds sent this time were obviously better. It can be seen that the scientific research institute on the Phoenix Stage has become more and more proficient in the reproduction technology of pepper seeds.

 

Director Li pointed to a bag and said, “There are basically about 200 seeds here. Take a look and check.”

 

Jian Luo lowered his head to look carefully.

 

Generally speaking, to identify the quality of seeds, everyone would usually scan them with tools and machines, but Jian Luo is different. He was not at ease with using machines to conduct scans. He ensured that they were of high quality before giving up.

 

Director Li was very curious: “Luoluo, have you planted on soil before?”

 

It was really amazing, whether in terms of carrying out the techniques or proficiency, Jian Luo could be regarded as a veteran, but the strange thing is that according to his understanding of Jian Luo, the young man in front of him has never planted anything before!

 

Jian Luo said, “You might laugh at me, but it’s all from the book.”

 

Director Li was suspicious: “Which book?”

 

“Forgot.” Jian Luo said confidently, “I’ll tell you next time I remember it.”

 

“…”

 

Alright…

 

Usually, when he was in charge of other sheds, he just roughly swept through them, but when it came to Jian Luo, he took a long time to count, which made others wonder if this child could accurately count the number of seeds.

 

Jiang Kang and the others came over: “Luoluo, we have just received a notice from Director Li to come over to help you get the seeds.”

 

Jian Luo put down the seeds in his hand: “Okay, let’s move this batch of seeds back.”

 

“Okay!”

 

There was a young man in the whole team that attracts Jian Luo’s attention the most, but it was because the young man was extraordinarily silent and nothing else. Sometimes, even during such group activities, he stood far away, never taking the initiative to fight or steal any opportunities.

 

Jian Luo walked to the boy’s side and put a box of seeds in his hand. With some encouragement, he said: “Okay, let’s go back.”

 

Everyone happily brought the seeds back.

 

In Peace Paradise, not just any shed could recieve so many seeds at once.

 

According to the sales volume of the market, the number of seeds distributed by the national nursery each month will be very different. If the number of seeds they received fluctuates, it means that they will also gather a larger harvest. The number of seeds the people in Peace Paradise can receive also has an impact on their status and pride. 

 

“Have you heard, we received 200.”

 

“Listening to Director Li, there may be more in the next batch.”

 

“We’re too lucky. How many points can we gain from this?”

 

There was a lot of discussion and the team was also enthusiastic. Originally, everyone was transferred to listen to the airheaded and blind commander who did not have a name, but who knew Jian Luo was actually very good!

 

The first batch of pepper seeds will soon be ready and Jian Luo has already started planning for the other half of the greenhouse and dispatching people to cultivate it.

 

Jiang Kang was the first to take the lead: “Luoluo, I have mastered the outline and techniques of planting these days. I will be responsible for planting the second section. Just let me and Xiaoyu work together, how about it?”

 

Xiaoyu was that honest boy.

 

Jian Luo frowned, still thinking: “You two will settle it?”

 

“Yeah.” Jiang Kang hugged Xiaoyu’s arm: “You know my skills as well as Xiaoyu’s. Let’s go settle the second batch, shall we?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo had a good work ethic when dealing with people.

 

Although he didn’t like Jiang Kang, he will never let real talents be buried. He has to admit that Jiang Kang does have talent.

 

It was indeed very suitable for him to be in charge of the second sector.

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo didn’t feel reluctant: “That’s fine.”

 

Jiang Kang smiled: “We will definitely work hard!”

 

Jian Luo encouraged them: “Go on then.”

 

After the second section was delegated, it was still not over. Jian Luo had to check on their progress from time to time, lest there be any unexpected situation that is difficult to handle. However, what he has to worry about will always come.

 

In the evening, the seeds of the second section were almost all planted.

 

Jian Luo came over to finish work. He used an instrument to detect the number of seeds in each place before frowning. He then heard Jiang Kang next to him ask, “What’s wrong?”

 

“It’s okay.” Jian Luo didn’t say much: “You guys are quite efficient.”

 

Jiang Kang smiled.

 

After finishing up on the second section, Jian Luo sent a message to Wang Heng: “Is there any special tracking and positioning system for our seeds? I don’t think the amount is right. I suspect that someone else has stolen them.”

 

Wang Heng replied after a while: “This system does exist, but you must know exactly how many seeds are in this batch. The tracking distance of this system is only about 20 meters. It was originally designed to prevent the seed from getting lost in the chaotic site so they can be found.”

 

If he was replaced by a general person who was in charge,they would not be too clear on how many seeds there were.

 

Jian Luo: “213.”

 

???

 

Wang Heng was surprised: “After the seeds were sent to you, did you count them one by one every day?”

 

“Why shouldn’t I count them?” Jian Luo said confidently, “If something goes wrong, whose responsibility is it?”

 

“…”

 

Yes, you’re too amazing.

 

Wang Heng told Jian Luo about the tracking method, and Jian Luo remembered it. He opened the panel to download the program. After setting up the app, the system began to scan the distribution of seeds, and finally came to the conclusion: [The number of seeds currently distributed on the land is 202. 】

 

Okay, so it looks like they are really missing a few seeds.

 

Jian Luo pretended to glance at Jiang Kang, who was not far away, and had some idea of what’s going on in his heart, so he deliberately said: “The quality of the last batch of peppers was not high and its taste after eating was not very good. Come here, the peppers need this special nutrient water, let me tell you about it first.”

 

Jiang Kang was surprised: “Was there a problem with the last batch?”

 

Jian Luo’s face was not red, but his heart stopped: “Yes.”

 

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They thought it was not bad when they saw that they were growing so well, so they didn’t expect that it had reached the point where nutrient water was needed.

 

Seeing that the others believed him, Jian Luo said, “It’s almost time to get off work. I’ll go back first. You may all leave early.”

 

Others hurriedly said:

“Teacher Jian Luo, please travel slowly on the road.”

“Goodbye, Mr. Jian Luo.”

“Goodbye.”

 

As the time to get off work got closer and closer, almost everyone in the base was gone As the sun set at the horizon, it cast a darkness everywhere.

 

The last figure came out of the shed, and the traitorous dog was stalked.

 

Jian Luo’s voice came from behind him: “Stop.”

 

Jiang Kang’s footsteps stopped.

 

“Where are you going?” Jian Luo leaned against the door: “You also took took away the nutrient water and seeds.”

 

…

 

Jiang Kang’s face sank. As the sun was setting, his face was dark, making it difficult to see his expression, and the entire base fell into a terrifying silence.

 

Jian Luo was not really afraid.

 

He remembered that Lu Shifeng had told him that he was surrounded by people from the Dragon Clan to protect him.

 

Although he couldn’t see them, as long as they are there, he feels at ease.

 

Jian Luo raised his face: “Those potatoes that were circulated, were you the one who made them too?”

 

Jiang Kang raised his hands on his side unconsciously: “Luoluo, am I such a person in your heart?”

 

…

 

Yes.

 

Jian Luo was speechless: “It’s not that you are such a person in my heart, but your acting is very unconvincing, Jiang Kang, do you understand?”

 

He thought that Jiang Kang would admit that he was caught, but he had, in fact, underestimated the man’s shamelessness: “Luoluo, I did this all for you to be with you and give you a better future.”

 

…

 

Jian Luo couldn’t believe it: “What are you talking about?”

 

“What I’m saying is that, I speak from the bottom of my heart.” Jiang Kang turned around, his face full of affection as he stepped forward to hold Jian Luo’s hand: “I didn’t mean to do these things, Luoluo. I know you can understand me.”

 

As the sun went down, the two people in front of the shed were very close. From the side, it looked like they were almost hugging each other. It was very ambiguous.

 

Lu Shifeng stood not far away and said in a deep voice, “What are you both doing?”

 

T/N: Wow, how annoying could Jiang Kang get? I hope none of you get pestered by such a annoying person… it can be intimidating and you may want to give in, but hold your ground! You deserve to make decisions about things involving yourself, and are NTA4Not the arse when you reject them. They also have to learn to accept that not everyone will give them consent to do whatever they want.

Grr, Jiang Kang reminds me of a spoilt brat… Hope he disappears soon, hehe. It’s unfortunate that these kinds of people also exist in real life. Don’t be afraid, if anyone tries to harass you, tell a trusted friend or parent. Your aggressor is actually a coward (other than being in the wrong), so you must call them out as soon as you spot their toxic behavior!! In these changing times, we must be careful and stand up for ourselves and our rights. No one can take your freedom from you, no one.

 

Apologies for the negativities… ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡

We finally made it to Chapter 50!!! I’m so proud at how far we’ve come~~ Hope you’ll continue with me on this wonderful journey hehe. It’s the second-last day of June today, if it’s a special day for you, I would like to wish you a happy one ^^

 

Consider liking the writer’s work or buying a kofi for me <3 who knows, might update a lil faster hehe

Chapter 49 – Not the only one

Chapter 49 – Not the only one

 

Jian Luo didn’t read his messages again after replying to the last message from Lord Marshal.

 

Originally, he thought that it was easy to grow peppers. After all, when he was in the greenhouse before, he didn’t give it much thought and managed to plant peppers that looked great, however, once the location changed to this place, everything has changed, and many problems arised.

 

“Brother Jian, the temperature here is a bit wrong.”

“Brother, it seems that the irrigation here is not well controlled, I have added too much water.”

“Are these pepper seeds defective?”

 

All kinds of problems made his head hurt. It was obvious that when he was alone before, he felt that it was easy, but now that he has an entire team to coordinate, Jian Luo realized that being able to lead a whole team into doing something well is very difficult, and that mutual understanding is not enough

 

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but think of Lu Shifeng. How did the marshal manage to command an army without it being chaotic at all and still have time to leisurely chat with him and stroll around?

 

Did the man have three heads and six arms?

 

It seems that he must find some time to go back and ask for more advice.

 

While Jian Luo was thinking about these things in his heart, his hands and feet were not idle. Just as he was about to lift himself up and walk away, Jiang Kang next to him said, “Luoluo, if you are tired, drink some water.”

 

While talking, Jiang Kang handed the water in his hand to Jian Luo.

 

Jian Luo took the water: “Thank you.”

 

“It’s nothing.” Jiang Kang said to him, “Come and see this. I planted this row and I planted it all according to your instructions. If there is no problem, I will help the others to plant, so, at least the goals we set for today will be completed.”

 

Jian Luo squatted down to check and found that Jiang Kang really had planted two rows and they were all planted very well. He was indeed a meticulous person.

 

Jiang Kang said: “When I was studying abroad on the alien planet, I also learned a lot of alien planting techniques. When I came back, I thought that with us humans could try to become more innovative to get rid of our shackles.”

 

It was the first time that Jian Luo knew that there exists opportunities for studying abroad on alien planets. Since he crossed over, he has only stayed on the Dark star and had no chance to go outside at all.

 

When it came to this topic, Jian Luo was inevitably interested: “What’s the difference between that alien planet and Dark star?”

 

Jiang Kang’s skin is very fair, and when he smiled, he was indeed very gentle: “I feel that the technology of the dark stars is more developed. The atmosphere of the planet also has more happiness per capita. As for the alien planets, they are a little less complicated. Some of their planets focus only on a certain industry, so there are entire planets made of reinforced concrete. There are also planets that focus on water resources, so half of their planet are comprised of large oceans…”

 

Jian Luo was taken aback for a moment.

 

“Dark star is still the most suitable for human habitation.” Jiang Kang’s eyes swept across Jian Luo’s wrist: “Luoluo, where is the bracelet I gave you before, why did you change it?”

 

Jian Luo frowned: “You gave me that bracelet?”

 

Jiang Kang sighed: “It seems that you really forgot. It was a birthday present I gave you. I bought it for you with the money I saved for a long time. You said that you would wear it for the rest of your life.”

 

“…”

 

Thanks.

 

I really can’t wear that short-circuiting bracelet for the rest of my life.

 

Jian Luo thought about it for a while, but decided to express his gratitude: “Uh, thank you, I’ll pass the money to you. How much is that bracelet?”

 

Jiang Kang looked at the bracelet on Jian Luo’s hand: “Luoluo, I don’t care about money, I care about you.”

 

…

 

Jian Luo was going to be annoyed: “I said I forgot about all of it so don’t say such things again, otherwise I’ll have to replace you, do you understand?”

 

He said it a little too implicitly.

 

But it was also the truth. The fate of staff working in this entire shed was all really up to Jian Luo.

 

Jiang Kang’s face changed: “Okay, Luoluo, I won’t irritate you. I know you’re not feeling well now, so I’ll teach them to plant. Don’t be angry and drink more hot water.”

 

Jian Luo walked out: “I’m going out to get some air, you guys get busy first.”

 

Seeing Jian Luo leave, a girl walked to Jiang Kang’s side and asked curiously, “Brother Jiang, I saw that Brother Jian’s bracelet is really expensive. It’s a limited edition obsidian, I think it’s the classic style. The previous price on the official website was 500,000, and the limited edition 800,000 and above.”

 

Their average monthly salary was only a few thousand, something in the hundred thousands was an amount of money a whole family could only earn in their entire lifetime.

 

Jiang Kang looked back: “Luoluo’s family background is not good, so it is inevitable that he will be laughed at. He got to his current position through hard work, so it is inevitable to want to use something good. Don’t poke at his scars.”

 

The girl closed her mouth and said slowly, “Brother Jiang, do you mean that Luoluo’s bracelet is a fake?”

 

Jiang Kang pursed his lips and seemed to feel a little pitiful: “Don’t say it.”

 

“I didn’t expect Luoluo to care so much about his image.” The girl sighed: “Brother Jiang, you are really kind.”

 

The corner of Jiang Kang’s mouth twitched into a smile: “I’m Luoluo’s senior brother, it’s natural for me to take care of him.”

 

It has only been a few days, but the people in the shed all liked Jiang Kang. Jian Luo has very high standards regarding the various processes and treatment of the seedlings, so many people are a little afraid of him, but Jiang Kang is different, he is gentle and calm. He also liked taking care of others, so unlike Jian Luo, who was very demanding, he naturally had a better image.

 

The girl admired him very much: “Brother Jiang, I think with your strength, you can also go to Phoenix Stage to cultivate seedlings. Jian Luo just got lucky. I heard that he only got the chance to go there through connections.”

 

Jiang Kang frowned: “What?”

 

On the other side, the Royal Garden.

 

Lu Shifeng sat on the stone chair, as the two little maids standing in front of him trembled. The marshal had not spoken for a long time, and was just silently suffocating the maids psychologically.

 

At noon.

 

A maid finally couldn’t bear it anymore and cried: “Marshal, we know we are in the wrong. We shouldn’t gossip and be lazy during working hours, please forgive us.”

 

Another quickly echoed: “Sir, please calm down. We really won’t dare to do such things anymore.”

 

Sitting on the chair, Lu Shifeng was wearing a straight military uniform that was dark blue as his slender and fair hands rested on the table, tapping the surface repeatedly as though it was the tip of someone’s heart. There was hot tea on the table, but the marshal did not take a sip.

 

The maids were sweating from nervousness.

 

They were all thinking about what they did wrong at the time, after the marshal, who’s time was precious, had summoned the two of them in a condescending manner.

 

Half a second later.

 

The marshal opened his lips: “Your lover cheated?”

 

…

 

There was a moment of deathly silence in the air.

 

The maid who was called was dumbfounded and raised her head subconsciously, only to meet the eyes of Lord Marshal who held no expression in his eyes. This made her heart tremble.

 

Lu Shifeng frowned: “I’m talking to you.”

 

The maid hurriedly said, “Yes, yes.”

 

“En.” The Marshal pretended to be casual: “How did you find out?”

 

???

 

A question mark slowly appeared on the top of the maid’s head, but after looking at Lu Shifeng’s handsome face, she couldn’t help but wonder, why did Lord Marshal suddenly pay attention to the feelings of her, a little maid? Was it because, after hearing their conversation, he also thought about himself, who was also in the same situation. He happened to know that his partner was cheating, so he came to inquire?

 

But……

 

Didn’t she also hear that the marshal’s former lover was also raised in the palace?

 

By the way, it seems that he has moved away. Was it due to a breakup? Could it be possible that she had a chance to become the marshal’s new favourite?

 

Thinking of this, the maid was happy to answer: “I liked my partner because of his temperament. Although he is not very good, he used to take the initiative to take good care of me.”

 

Lu Shifeng said: “And then?”

 

“Who knew that, even though he looked honest, he actually cheated!” The maid thought about it and gritted her teeth: “At first, everything was fine with him, but he was suddenly transferred to another job, and everything changed.”

 

“…”

 

Transfering to work elsewhere.

 

Lu Shifeng played with the teacup in his hand and said solemnly, “Explain it more clearly.”

 

Although the Marshal did not reprimand anyone, there was an air of coldness, and the young woman was taken aback and said quickly: “He actually met an old friend in his workplace, and then he cheated.”

 

Lu Shifeng’s brows loosened.

 

According to what he knew, Jian Luo was a student before, so how could he also have an old friend? It was even more impossible for him to have an old love to rekindle. Thinking of this, the Marshal was relieved and waved his hand: “Leave.”

 

The young woman was hesitant, but she didn’t dare to say anything, so she could only bow obediently: “Yes.”

 

The marshal became more at ease when his information terminal received a message, it was from Jian Luo who had not replied to his message just now:

[They are not familiar with the critical period for planting now, so I have to work a little overtime to watch them before going home to sleep at night. It is close by, you can rest assured. It will be fine. 】

 

Lu Shifeng was in a good mood and didn’t feel embarrassed: “En, I’ll ask Secretary Jin to pick out a box of holy dragon fruit and send it to you.”

 

Jian Luo was happy: [Okay. Actually, I’m not particularly busy at all. There is a person I knew from before, and his qualifications are not bad. If he can help me handle the others, it will be easier. 】

 

Someone he knew from before?

 

Lu Shifeng’s smile gradually disappeared, and he couldn’t help but remember what the previous maid had said about his husband being good before. The temperature and atmosphere of the pavilion, which was somewhat calm, gradually froze over again.

 

The little emperor who just came back from settling his business was very excited: “Uncle Huang…”

 

Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids to look at him, with a kind tone: “Is your Majesty’s done with his business?”

 

A chill ran down the little emperor’s back.

 

Oops.

 

Could it be that another galaxy was going to war again? God, that’s too odd. It couldn’t be that he was just in time when the Dragon King wanted to leave to accompany his wife at home in a hurry? Didn’t he only wait for like just 3 seconds?!

 

…

 

Jian Luo stayed in the planting base until the night.

 

There was light rain in the sky, and it was misty at night. He was caught in the weather as he walked out.

 

Jiang Kang said, “Luoluo, where’s auntie? I’ll send you back, let’s go back together.”

 

“No.” Jian Luo smiled: “My mother should come to pick me up soon. Thank you for your kindness, I’ll go first.”

 

Jiang Kang was stunned: “Has auntie been fired? Are you the only one in your family making money?”

 

Jian Luo frowned slightly and was about to speak when a voice came from not far away: “Luoluo!”

 

Su Liang stood there holding an umbrella. When She saw Jian Luo, she walked over quickly and passed a rain ring through his hands. Once this ring is buckled onto the body, the surrounding rain will be automatically stopped without holding an umbrella. There was also an automatic function of blocking the wind. It was definitely not something that could be used by ordinary families. Originally, Su Liang didn’t want to stand out too much, but now that Jian Luo was pregnant, his constitution was the most important thing. If he catches a cold due to the wind, the consequences would be disastrous.

 

Jian Luo said, “Mom, let’s go back.”

 

Su Liang glanced at Jiang Kang, who smiled awkwardly and took Jian Luo back.

 

If someone in the crowd of umbrellas had a rain ring, it would be very obvious and many people will look at them and be very envious..

 

“Is that Luoluo?”

 

“It seems that he is really the eldest son of the Jian family.”

 

“I heard that he is here to be an instructor, a high-ranking official.”

 

“God, how did he get promoted?”

 

“Don’t you know, I heard about him…”

 

There were endless rumors and Jian Luo could guess what they were talking about without listening. Su Liang was a little angry just thinking of their speculation.

 

Jian Luo grabbed her and couldn’t stand it anymore: “Mom, I’m so hungry, can we go home for dinner first?”

 

Su Liang endured and couldn’t help smiling: “You…”

 

Jian Luo really felt that it was unnecessary. He wasn’t about to explain it to others one by one. Anyway, he was going to only be staying here for a while, so it was unnecessary.

 

When he got home, there was indeed a meal prepared on the table.

 

Jian Luo’s saliva was about to leak out: “Is there chili in this? Why is it spicy?”

 

Su Liang put away the umbrella and said, “Secretary Jin brought it. She said that the people at Phoenix Stage sent a batch of chili peppers that were confiscated at that time today. The marshal asked them to bring them over to you.”

 

Jian Luo’s eyes sparkled: “I love spicy food.”

 

He flew to the dining table, picked up a piece of spicy tofu and ate it with rice before sighing, “It’s so delicious. Mom, did you watch my live broadcast?”

 

Su Liang replied: “You must be doing what you like. Mom just followed it when she had nothing to do at home. I’ve never practiced making it before, so I’m not sure if I’m successful in making the tofu this time. You can try it.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “It’s a success, especially successful!”

 

Su Liang smiled, walked to the table and sat down to watch Jian Luo eat, sighing: “I thought you might endure hardship with the Marshal before. After all, it’s easy to criticize others, but now I can see that the marshal is very devoted to you. I am relieved”

 

Jian Luo stuffed food into his mouth: “The marshal is pretty good.”

 

“Then…” Su Liang looked at Jian Luo cautiously, and asked tentatively, “About that, Luoluo. Do you like the marshal?”

 

…

 

There was a moment of silence in the room.

 

Jian Luo, who was trying to put food in his mouth, stopped, looked at Su Liang, and smiled: “Mom, what are you talking about?”

 

Su Liang retracted her gaze, a little worried: “Have you discussed it with the marshal, has he told you?”

 

“It has been discussed.” Jian Luo poked the bowl with his chopsticks: “We have all agreed that after the children are born, I will definitely return to my own life. The dragon cubs are their entire planet’s hope. There are a lot of people who take good care of them, so I don’t have to worry about it.”

 

Jian Luo’s words were very relaxed, but inexplicably, Su Liang heard a trace of sadness from it.

 

“Jian Luo…”

 

Jian Luo interrupted her: “Mom, don’t worry. I know.”

 

Only then did Su Liang relax a little. The children came too suddenly, and at times, felt unreal. After their initial happiness, when their relationship cooled down, they might feel that being together might not be a good thing. Some people are destined to be unhappy together so it’s best not to be together in the first place.

 

After eating, Jian Luo decided to broadcast live.

 

It’s been a long time since he broadcasted live, so he decided to get to work. He took out the lightball and live broadcast equipment before adjusting them.

 

“Hi, everyone.” Jian Luo said to the ball: “Let’s eat spicy strips today. It’s a kind of snack. Fellow friends who can’t eat spicy food, you should be careful.”

 

In the past, even if there were a lot of people, it would not be crowded immediately, but this time, the people in the live broadcast room poured in like crazy:

“Is there something wrong with your potato chips, anchor?”

“Yeah, I gave it to my brother and he said he was dizzy.”

“Can you please explain?”

“Is your food edible?”

 

The previously peaceful barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly became chaotic and Jian Luo really didn’t expect it to be like this.

 

Jian Luo frowned: “I don’t remember that I have ever sold physical potato chips. I always allowed them to be sold, only to be taste-tested.”

 

“Master Chenguang made potato chips according to your method.”

“Aren’t you afraid to sell your own products?”

“If this is inedible, are your other dishes edible?”

 

The barrage was full of chaos and filled with all kinds of doubts. Everyone came so quickly that he was almost overwhelmed.

 

Jian Luo tried his best to suppress her emotions: “Potatoes are also divided into good and bad. If it is a bad potato, there will definitely be problems with the potato chips made. Please calm down a bit, please?”

 

The audience didn’t listen at all:

“All the potato chips made in Lord Chengguang’s broadcast are good.”

“Yeah, there are so many bad potatoes on the market.”

“Anchor, can you speak with conscience?”

 

Jian Luo felt a thorn in his heart, but the more the situation escalated, the more calm he became. He ignored some people’s rude remarks, but had an idea and was inspired: “Where did everyone buy it? I’ll buy some to try too?”

 

That’s right, can’t he also just taste-test it as well?

 

Why didn’t he think of it before?!

 

These audiences are really clever little ghosts, giving him endless inspiration!

 

The audience was also quite speechless and gave Jian Luo directions: “It’s on the homepage of Lord Chenguang on the Interstellar Live Network.”

 

Jian Luo followed the audience’s directions to find the sales webpage of Lord Chenguang. When he was about to place the order, the potato chips were taken off the shelf at almost the same time.

 

Simply great.

 

The audience also saw this scene:

“Why was it taken off the shelf?”

“Could it be that you’ve already negotiated with him to take it off the shelves beforehand when you wanted to pretend to buy it?”

“Are you guys working together?”

 

Jian Luo was also stunned stupid, but he laughed even more when he saw the malicious speculation: “Why should I work together with him? I invented the potato chips first, even if I really want to sell them, then I can’t sell them myself? Why do I have to band up with him to sell them?”

 

The audience was at a loss for words.

 

Jian Luo leaned against the stove in the kitchen: “If there is a problem with the potato chips, I will help to investigate it clearly, and everyone is welcome to supervise me. I will also try my best to create more delicious food for everyone. If you have any random criticisms and suggestions, I will accept them. However, if you want to make trouble, please leave my live broadcasting room.”

 

His words mixed with sensibility and criticism could be regarded as sweet words to placate the audience after also telling them to get lost.

 

Some people in the barrage also recalled their words:

“I clearly heard that Moonlight also sells potato chips.”

“Yeah. Since Moonlight dares to do it, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“It’s not sold by this anchor, why did you all come here to scold him?”

 

When a blind spot is discovered, many problems can be exposed. These verbal attacks against Jian Luo were like an organized and disciplined attack.

 

Sure enough, before the rational audience could even get a few words in, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room soon became chaotic again. Many people began to irrationally continue to express their anger. There were all kinds of monsters in the live broadcast room, and it made one’s scalp tingle. More people came to prick thorns into him:

“Moonlight’s cooking method is definitely different.”

“Can a person at the level of a live broadcaster be can compare with a chef from Moonlight?”

“How low has the human beings come? They really can’t do good things.”

 

Everything else was fine, but Jian Luo, who saw these two comments, really burst into flames. He took a deep breath, but just as he was about to speak, he saw a light flash across the live broadcast room:

【User: Feng, gave away 8,888 deep-water torpedoes】

 

The light of the deep-water torpedoes covered the entire screen, and no matter how much the other harassers swiped, they couldn’t read their words on the entire page.

 

Jian Luo was also stunned.

 

Some viewers were confused after the light disappeared: “This ‘Feng’ was probably not someone who the anchor collaborated with to send the torpedoes. After all, who would spend so much money watching a human live broadcast?”

 

When the automated voice stopped talking…

 

[User: Feng, gave away 88,888 deep-water torpedoes]

 

The splendid torpedoes filled the screen again in an instant, and even the entire homepage of Jinjiang was struck by the heavy activity coming from Jian Luo’s live broadcast room, which also made others stunned.

 

People were stunned by their own malicious speculation just now. They were completely stupid. If this person only swiped once, they could say that this user was collaborating with Jian Luo. The point was that they swiped again. After adding up the amount of money donated during these two times, Jian Luo would have already made a base of up  to 400,000 to 500,000 star dollars. This generous amount was also difficult for ordinary dark stars to make in one go.

 

Finally some of them were convinced:

“Wow, so rich.”

“Gold Master, Father 6661Can mean sh-ht sh-t sh-t. Used to describe something or someone very powerful.“

“We’ve seen him so many times, everyone should know him by now.”

 

The Marshal who sent out the torpedoes was also very satisfied. After he went back, the Marshal thought for a while, and finally realized to himself that Jian Luo would not cheat at all. After all, he was one of the best bachelors. He was handsome too, and besides, as a partner, how many others could be as generous as him?

 

To sum up, the Lord Marshal thought that he was basically a hard-to-beat opponent, so he could simply just sit back and relax. After all, he met all the requirements with flying colors, as long as Jian Luo’s mind is normal, he will not look at others.

 

He was thinking this when the live broadcast room suddenly became lively:

[User: Speechless, who gave away 99,999 deep-water torpedoes says: The roses that bloom in September, mine are all to be given to you. 】

 

The screen hasn’t finished playing out the message yet, when:

 

[User: Speechless, who gave away 99,999 deep-water torpedoes says: Don’t forget out online class at the end of the live broadcast, don’t let it affect your learning. 】

 

The two waves of torpedoes were very subtle and a little more in number than the Marshal, but the arrogance in the other’s attitude was outrageous. The torpedoes wildly jumped about on top of the marshal’s fragile self-confidence.

 

Lu Shifeng narrowed his eyes. After being influenced by the palace maid, he began to think, was it possible that Jian Luo actually had more than one ‘old friend’ like this?

T/N: Owowo, seems like the dragon hubby is getting a bit more self-conscious and less self-assured hehe… He’s also eating vinegar (getting jealous) ¯\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯

(Vol.2) Chapter 8 – Reunion (Part 1)

June 28, 2022 / / 3 Comments

Chapter 8 – Reunion (Part 1)

 

Xing Zhongwan held a video conference with Zhong Gang in his office. It’s been almost two years since the new company was established. Xing Zhongwan was very happy and gave Zhong Gang 30% of the shares, but unfortunately the other party didn’t want it and wanted to go back to the head office to chase Cheng Zhengzhe.

 

Xing Zhongwan angrily ended the video conference, he couldn’t push his good brother down this road. Turning over the desk calendar on the desk, it was going to be his mother’s birthday soon and he had to go back.

 

Two days ago, Xing Zhengping called him about his mother’s birthday and inadvertently said that Qi Yun has not been to Xing’s house once this year.

 

Xing Zhongwan put down the phone, shook his head gently and smiled. It was good, after so many years, Qi Yun finally let go.

 

He called an insider and asked the secretary to book a flight ticket for him. This time Cheng Zhengzhe and Xue Qing also went back with him.

 

Xing Zhongwan rubbed his sore forehead as he opened up the documents. There was a knock on the door and after a while, the secretary came in with a big bunch of roses, “Boss, the flowers are here again!”

 

Xing Zhongwas didn’t even lift his head, “Divide it among the secretary’s office.” 

 

The secretary smiled, “Boss, it’s been a month. Our secretariat can open a flower shop.”

 

Xing Zhongwan signed the document and closed it, “This suggestion is good, you can buy snacks with the money from selling the flowers.” 

 

The secretary covered her mouth and smiled, “Then I’m going out.”

 

Xing Zhongwan waved his hand. The scent of roses made him sneeze. What were these young people thinking about all day long?

 

If they wanted to chase him, they don’t even know he was allergic to pollen. How careless.

 

Xing Zhongwan took a deep breath and got up. As he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, he looked at the clear sky outside, it was a very good time to go back…

 

Xing Zhongwan returned to China and was picked up from the airplane personally by Zhong Gang. A celebrity took the same flight as him, so the exit was full. The fans were waiting for the plane, along with the reporters. Xing Zhongwan was unhappy wearing sunglasses while dragging his suitcase into the crowd. In desperation, he had to take off his sunglasses to smile at the little girl holding a light sign in front of him, “I’m sorry, can you let me pass?”

 

When Xing Zhongwan said this, the little girl holding the light sign became impatient. However, when she raised her head and looked at him, she was stunned for a moment before making way for Xing Zhongwan stiffly.

 

Xing Zhongwan winked and looked over, “Thank you.” 

 

The two girls blushed and when they recovered, they couldn’t help but squeal when Xing Zhongwan was gone.

 

God, what a beautiful face!

 

Xing Zhongwan got into Zhong Gang’s car and exhaled, “Which star is this? They’re quite popular.”

 

Zhong Gang glanced at him, “Boss, you forgot? You personally ordered Emma to bring him in. He’s now very popular.”

 

Xing Zhongwan suddenly realized, “Is it from our company? That’s amazing!” 

 

He was very careless compared to Zhong Gang, which made Zhong Gang helpless, “Boss, sometimes I really doubt that you treat our branch as your own dear child.”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled, “What do you mean? It is my own child. As long as it can make money, the more you earn, the more dearly I love my child.”

 

Zhong Gang was speechless, “Stay at my house these days. The old house of the Xing family is also far away, so it’ll be more convenient for you to live with me.”

 

Xing Zhongwan readily agreed and boredly turned on the current affairs news that just happened to be broadcasting on the radio. They were talking about the popular candidates for this general election. Qi Yun’s name entered Xing Zhongwan’s ears and Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment. His hand that was held up slid down the car window.

 

Zhong Gang looked at him from the side, “Shen Congxin is very interested in Qingyuan Capital. I have met them many times and they actually have some good offers, but President Xue told me not to have too much contact with the Shen family, so I will reject them. However, from the perspective of the company’s development, it is beneficial to have a good relationship with the Shen family. Following the domestic trend in the past few years… If there is no incident, Qi Yun will win this election.”

 

Xing Zhongwan hummed, but he did not say anything else.

 

Zhong Gang concentrated on driving. The boss was probably a little entangled with that guy.

 

“Next time, if Shen Congxin comes back with an offer and the case does have investment potential, then let it go. We started this company to make money.”

 

Zhong Gang nodded to express his understanding. Xing Zhongwan had already fallen asleep on the back of his chair when they got out of the tunnel and got onto the elevated bridge.

 

Qi Yun was doing an examination in the examination room when Shen Congxin went to see his attending doctor before he woke up.

 

“Still having trouble falling asleep?” The doctor asked while looking at his case. Shen Congxin said with a bitter face, “Yes.” 

 

The doctor shook his head, “It’s the maximum dose. Actually, I recommend seeing a psychiatrist.”

 

Knowing his daily workload, he couldn’t eat well or sleep well. Even Iron Man wouldn’t be able to stand it. He was injured in his early years, and his legs hurt when it rained. Since he couldn’t sleep, the pain only got worse and worse. He also didn’t like others touching him, so they can’t relieve it through a massage.

 

Shen Congxin felt that taking care of Qi Yun was even more difficult than managing the company. He had never seen anyone who was more difficult to serve than Qi Yun. The doctor sighed, “That person… still haven’t been found?” “

 

Shen Congxin was even more depressed, “We now know where that person is, but he doesn’t dare go to see him.”

 

“Still, try to persuade him to see a doctor as soon as possible. Some problems are not as simple as they seem after a long time. Now is a critical period. Even a small change can help him settle down.”

 

Shen Congxin didn’t understand him. He still had no solution for Qi Yun’s problem.

 

“Doctor, prescribe some medicine. He can still sleep after taking the medicine.”

 

The doctor said while handing him the prescription, “If you have the opportunity to take him out to see more things, do it. Don’t just let him work blindly. Proper relaxation is good for his insomnia.” Shen Congxin agreed and took the prescription before returning to the ward. Qi Yun was buttoning his shirt expressionlessly.

 

“Big cousin, I’ve come back with the prescription.”

 

Qi Yun glanced at him, but didn’t speak. Qi Yun was very thin. Since the car accident, his body has been thin. His temperament has always been cold, but he has become more and more indifferent and the words he spoke have become less and less this year. Shen Congxin was impatient, but what could he do? The other party doesn’t listen to him at all.

 

Qi Yun was wasting away his life again. Ever since he came back from Country X, there was no longer any light in Qi Yun’s eyes.

 

“Big cousin, you haven’t been on a vacation for a long time. We can go out and play. We haven’t been to Jiangnan for a long time, we can…” 

 

Before Shen Congxin finished speaking, Qi Yun had already left the ward and Shen Congxin hurriedly followed him out, “Big cousin, I’ve heard that in two days it will be cousin-in-law’s mother’s birthday. Maybe he will come back. We can…”

 

Qi Yun’s body froze for a while before slowly turning around. The straight bridge of the nose seemed even more prominent because of his thinness and Shen Congxin’s whole body got goosebumps after looking at him. Qi Yun said nothing, turned around and walked straight out of the corridor.

 

Shen Congxin followed in annoyance. Now, even the name Xing Zhongwan has become taboo. Cousin-in-law, if you don’t come back, my big cousin will go crazy.

 

On Xing Zhongwan’s mother’s birthday, Cheng Zhengzhe and Xue Qing both came. They bowed their heads respectfully in front of the tomb. They were all children adopted by Xing Zhongwan’s mother in the orphanage, so they called her mother like Xing Zhongwan. Xing Zhengping stared at his mother’s tombstone in a daze. Over the years, he has aged faster and faster, and his hair has all turned gray in less than a year. Xing Zhongwan stood in front of his mother’s tomb for a long time until someone brought flowers. Xing Zhongwan glanced at it and knew who sent it. He recognized the handwriting on it.

 

Xing Zhongwan squatted and said, “Mom, I’m sorry that I haven’t seen you for a long time. Are you happy? You didn’t quarrel with grandpa, right? I’ve had a good life in the past few years. I also have a career that grandpa gave me. If you have time, remember to visit me in my dreams.” 

 

The three of them walked out of the cemetery and smiled at each other. Xue Qing suggested that the three of them have a drink together, and everyone had no objection. When she got into the car, Xue Qing said, “Do you remember the big brother Gao who used to take care of us? I heard that he returned to China and opened a bar. The atmosphere is very good. How about we go to his place?”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe laughed, “He got married last year, but we didn’t attend. We should give him a red envelope1Wedding money. today. I remember now, Xue Qing, you used to have a crush on someone. Hey, why are you hitting me?!”

 

Xue Qing gave him a blank look, “Don’t talk, no one is treating you like a mute person! How about you think about Zhong Gang? You won’t know when he might stop you.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe said, “Xue Qing, you are famous for your crow mouth. I don’t care, if Zhong Gang pesters me again, I will say that I am with you and that we’re together.”

 

“Go away! If Laoniang is rumored to be with you, how can I have the face to eat up my little fresh meat, you sissy!”

 

“Hey, what’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with me? Tell me. Clearly, apart from being older, I can’t be compared to your little fresh meat.”

 

“Come on, with your physical strength, can you do it for three rounds?”

 

“Hey, Xue Qing, what do you mean? Do you want to make an appointment with me? Let’s try it.”

 

“Just try! I’m not afraid of you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan leaned against the car window with one hand and listened. As the two quarreled, his thoughts drifted to Qi Yun’s bouquet of flowers.

 

The neat handwriting on the delicate bouquet of hydrangeas… Qi Yun knew that he would come back, but he didn’t come to see him because he didn’t want to cause him trouble.

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.

 

The voices of the first two bickering faded as Cheng Zhengzhe looked back at him and said softly to Xue Qing, “Say, why didn’t Qi Yun come today? He should know that Laoxing would come to Xing’s house today.”

 

Xue Qing frowned and did not speak. Cheng Zhengzhe said, “Do you think Laoxing wants to see Qi Yun?”

 

Xue Qing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xing Zhongwan, who closed his eyes to rest his eyes. I’m afraid only he himself knows this.

T/N: Uwu, yes. Perhaps only Wanwan himself knows…

And us readers too, to some extent. ¯\_( ͡❛ ‿‿ ͡❛)_/¯

Welp, whether Wanwan wants to see Qi Yun or not… I bet ALL of us wanna see them meet again ohohoho. Who knows what kind of trouble or storm will be a-brewin’

This translator is afraid that there is not enough discord in the world y’know!! (jkjk)

Chapter 48 – What are the signs of cheating

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo looked at him in shock.

 

Jiang Kang looked at Jian Luo eagerly, as though looking for some sort of response, but his attitude was beyond his expectations.

 

Jian Luo slowly withdrew his hand and said in a deep voice, “Please don’t touch me casually.”

 

Doubt appeared on Jiang Kang’s face. Seeing that Jian Luo was about to leave, he quickly chased after him: “Luoluo, Luoluo, are you mad at me?”

 

Jian Luo was so confused by him that he stopped and looked at him coldly: “Something happened to me some time ago, so now my memories are convoluted. I can’t remember many things and I also forgot you, no matter how we used to be or what kind of relationship we used to have, I have long since forgotten it and it will not be considered.”

 

Jiang Kang stayed where he was.

 

Jian Luo was satisfied: “That’s it. Since I have assigned everyone tasks, I hope you can cooperate and finish the work, thank you.”

 

Before taking two steps, Jiang Kang chased after him: “Luoluo, I didn’t know what happened to you, but don’t worry, I will definitely help you. It doesn’t matter if you have forgotten, I will accompany you to remember it. The biggest thing is starting over again. It’s good to restart. The first thing I did after coming back from studying abroad was to come look for you. I can rest assured that you are doing well now, and you can rest assured that I will definitely support your career and accompany you so we can make progress together.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo felt many doubts.

 

In the end, since he was really unfamiliar with the other person at the moment, he could only bite the bullet and nod: “Okay, please get back to work quickly. This is also to support my career.”

 

Jiang Kang smiled slightly: “Then I’ll go.”

 

Jian Luo waved his hand: “I won’t be sending you off then.”

 

He really didn’t have the slightest memory of Jiang Kang and it was unbelievable when he suddenly appeared. The thing was, how did this person go to the house to find him, when Su Liang didn’t mention this to him at all?

 

Mother was not a careless person. If there is a situation, she will definitely not keep her mouth shut. There may be a reason for the matter.

 

“Beep.”

 

His information terminal just got a message at this time.

 

Jian Luo quickly opened the message and saw the message from Su Liang: “Luoluo, I saw Director Li sending me a message saying that you are back, is that true?”

 

Jian Luo replied quickly: “En. Mom, I’ll be back at noon.”

 

Su Liang was obviously very happy: “Okay, then mom has lunch ready. You can come home for dinner after you get off work.”

 

Jian Luo responded: “Okay.”

 

It was difficult to wait for lunch slowly, so Jian Luo simply went to the field to teach a few young people how to sow the soil.

 

There was a relatively thin boy. When he saw Jian Luo coming, he immediately changed his expression: “Leader.”

 

“Don’t need to be so serious.” Jian Luo patted him on the shoulder: “I’m just a temporary instructor sent from above. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me.”

 

The little boy nodded slightly.

 

Jiang Kang said not far away: “Luoluo, can you come down here?”

 

Jian Luo ended the conversation with the little boy, walked to Jiang Kang’s side, leaned down and asked, “What’s wrong?”

 

“We were discussing how close the seeds of this pepper can be planted.” Jiang Kang always spoke politely: “According to previous experiences, about 20cm between each seed should be enough, what do you think?”

 

Jian Luo squatted down to measure the distance and gestured for a larger distance: “Let’s move them further, the peppers should not be too dense.”

 

The other young people looked over curiously.

 

For human beings, one has to work hard all their life to work in a planting base. Whether one can plant well is also another thing. In the planting base, such people who have knowledge in planting techniques were always worthy of respect.

 

Jiang Kang asked, “Why?”

 

“It is important for Chili peppers to have adequate light. If their photosynthesis is not uniform, problems will arise.” Jian Luo roughly explained: “When I submitted my report, I specifically applied for a greenhouse. This is so the first batch of peppers will have a consistent quality. On the other hand, the follow-up quality inspection requires a high score in order to pass, so our vegetable score must be high.”

 

Peace Paradise also had a ranking system.

 

The better the condition of each batch of plants produced by the planter, the higher the score of the same group of planters. If the score is accumulated to a certain level, they can get promoted, their salary will be higher and they will receive better treatment.

 

For example, Director Li rose to his position like this. By solely focusing on his plants, he cultivated vegetables of the best condition. Naturally, he became the director this way.

 

Jiang Kang stood up straight and looked at Jian Luo tenderly: “Luoluo, it seems that you haven’t stopped making progress in the days I was not around. It’s great.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo got goosebumps from him.

 

Jiang Kang still insisted and wanted to say something, but Jian Luo hurriedly waved his hand: “You guys continue to plant. I’ll go look at other people first.”

 

After feeling like he was being stared at all morning, Jian Luo felt his back turn cold.

 

Finally, it was noon. He hurriedly ran home just as Jiang Kang was about to get up again.

 

Su Liang was cooking and when she saw Jian Luo, she was very surprised: “Luo Luo, what are you running for?”

 

“I didn’t run.” Jian Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead: “I just walked fast, it’s nothing else.”

 

Su Liang sighed: “That’s fine, go wash up and then eat.”

 

Jian Luo went into the bathroom to wash his hands, and said, “Mom, let me ask you something. About that Jiang Kang, does he have anything to do with our family?”

 

“Clang!”

 

The sound of bowls breaking came from the kitchen.

 

Jian Luo was startled and ran over quickly: “What’s wrong, Mom?”

 

“Luoluo, have you met Jiang Kang?” Su Liang turned around in surprise and exclaimed again: “Yes. Why did I forget that he will definitely go to the base too.”

 

Jian Luo began to clear up the broken porcelain on the floor: “What are you talking about?”

 

Su Liang knew by Jian Luo’s reaction that he had indeed forgotten. She sighed, and after much consideration, she finally said, “Luoluo, come here.”

 

Jian Luo was dragged by her to the sofa before sitting down.

 

Su Liang’s face was rarely solemn: “In fact, I didn’t know about this matter at first, and it was only after he came back that he knew a little.”

 

Jian Luo’s heart skipped a beat: “What’s the matter?”

 

How tricky, don’t tell him that he and Jiang Kang used to be involved with each other. If that’s the case, wouldn’t he be screw-d?

 

Su Liang sighed: “Mom heard that you did discuss this with Jiang Kang before this, but you hid it from me, so I didn’t know.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo felt that his heart was complicated.

 

“Well, Mom, I shouldn’t have anything to do with him.” Jian Luo was very puzzled: “We only talked about finding a partner.”

 

How would Su Liang know about this kind of thing? What she is most worried about now was: “Luoluo, no matter what you had before, now that you are following the marshal now, you must be single-minded and not have any contact with Jiang Kang anymore, otherwise…”

 

Although Su Liang didn’t say the unfinished words, Jian Luo could more or less also guess what kind of troubles lie ahead.

 

It was difficult.

 

Jian Luo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Mom, am I that unreliable in your heart?”

 

Su Liang’s eyes were red.

 

“Okay, okay, I understand.” Jian Luo sighed: “I’ve already made it clear to Jiang Kang. We only considered being partners before, and it’s not like we were married to each other back then. Besides, why are you listening to his words? What if he came onto me on purpose because I lost my memory?!”

 

Su Liang was stunned.

 

Jian Luo felt that he was speaking the truth. Thinking of this, he patted Su Liang’s hand: “Okay, let’s eat!”

 

“…Alright.”

 

He was going to livestream today.

 

Because the spicy tofu made from chili was very popular last time, this time he was going to make something else that was also spicy.

 

After thinking about it, Jian Luo felt that it was best to make red oil noodles. When he just ate, he really felt tired of the rice. This time, he just took this opportunity to make red chili oil noodles.

 

Taking out the light broadcasting ball, Jian Luo adjusted its angle and said, “Hello everyone, we will be broadcasting live today.”

 

There were not many people in the live broadcast room:

“Wow, has the anchor started broadcasting?”

“Hey, I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

“What are we eating today?!”

“Anchor, do you know that Master Chenguang from Interstellar Live?”

 

Jian Luo didn’t want to talk about the matter regarding Lord Chenguang, so he chose to ignore it, but said, “Thank you for waiting for so long, let’s eat red chili oil noodles today!”

 

The most important thing about red oil noodles was it’s spiciness.

 

Jian Luo remembered that he had never made dough for them before, so they were all also a little interested.

 

His fans were curious:

“Red oil?”

“Is oil also edible?”

“What is dough? I don’t think it’s a new staple at Moonlight.”

 

In fact, there was already flour prepared at Jian Luo’s place, so he just took it out and mixed the flour, poured it into a bowl and added water to it: “The flour used to make the noodles are the same used to make the potato cakes, but this time we won’t add potatoes to it. Instead, the noodles will be a stand-alone dish for us to eat.”

 

Adding water was a technical task and the light ball captured every detail in the bowl. Everyone could see the dough sticking together and feel that it was very sticky in his hands intuitively. The dough clumped up together, looking sticky, and didn’t feel very good to the touch.

 

Some viewers who turned on the sense-sharing hologram felt uncomfortable:

“It’s too sticky.”

“Wow, I don’t like it.”

“Yeah, it’s too troublesome to make noodles, forget it.”

“No, I think it’s pretty fun.”

 

Everyone’s opinions were mixed, and Jian Luo said to the audience in front of the camera: “Everyone should also pay attention to the amount of water when making noodles by themselves. When making the first batch, it is recommended to put less water first and then add on to it little by little.”

 

The noodles were almost done and only needed to be left to rest for a while. Jian Luo put plastic wrap around it and set it aside: “I’ll continue with this later. For now, let’s prepare the red oil first!”

 

There were not many peppers left from when he brought some back from the seed base last time. It was probably only enough for one more meal so Jian Luo simply took all of them out.

 

The audience was very excited when they saw the peppers:

“It’s chili again!”

“My gosh, this thing killed me last time.”

“I’m withering away.”

 

It seems that many people were a bit traumatised by the peppers. Jian Luo was annoyed but also felt that it was funny, so he still reminds them very conscientiously: “Well, everyone must be careful when cutting peppers in the future and don’t eat them casually. You must wash your hands after cutting peppers. If you rub your eyes before that, it will be very spicy.”

 

Because the first batch of chili peppers have not yet been entered into the market to be sold, many viewers were a little curious about Jian Luo’s identity. Could this thing really be something that an ordinary human anchor can obtain?

 

When there is curiosity, there will be speculation.

 

Many people began to speculate on Jian Luo identity based on his live broadcast times.

 

“I remember that only the planters or researchers at Phoenix Stage can get the vegetables and plants that haven’t been put on the market.”

“So the host actually got it from there?”

“How did he get in? Going from the backdoor would be too hard, right?”

 

There was a lot of discussion, and they were all very curious about Jian Luo’s identity, but there were also malicious speculations:

“He’s just a human being, how could he get these planted through regular methods?”

“It’s also possible that it’s a wild, mountain species that he discovered.”

“It shouldn’t be. Don’t you need to report them before they are fit for consumption?”

 

The direction their guesses became more and more confusing, however, most people, especially those who have tasted his spicy mapo tofu before, recognized Jian Luo’s talent. After all, no matter how jealous they were, they couldn’t hide the fact that Jian Luo could indeed produce a lot of new recipes.

 

By then, Jian Luo has already ground down all the peppers.

 

The oil in the pot was already hot, so he put all the peppers in. Because the oil was boiling hot, it made a sizzling sound.

 

Jian Luo said to the camera: “Usually, you should pay attention to safety when adding in the peppers. The oil will be very hot, and after the peppers are put in, they should be stirred with a spoon, otherwise the peppers may be overcooked. “

 

The scent of chili peppers were choking, in addition to the fumes from the oil. To the dark stars, it was even more uncomfortable than the first time they tasted the spiciness of the chili peppers.

 

The people who opened the sense-sharing hologram was caught even more off guard.

“Cough, cough, f-ck.”

“It’s hard to breathe.”

“Anchor, are you making biochemical weapons?”

 

Many people couldn’t wait to close their sense-sharing hologram, as many barrages flew all over the place, the bad comments about the peppers not stopping. They have basically never seen this plant, but it was too suffocating. Yes, they were about to be sent to heaven by the cooking of a single meal.

 

Jian Luo was also choked a bit, but he was already prepared. He covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel. Sure enough, nothing much happened, and after that, the aroma of chili oil began to diffuse out gradually. This unique aroma of chili peppers made Jian Luo, who has always been a glutton for peppers, almost drool.

 

“Okay, it’s almost there.”

 

Jian Luo put the chili oil aside and finally had time to look at the dough he set aside before.

 

About half an hour later, the dough has almost risen completely.

 

Jian Luo put the dough in the basin and clarified some water: “Now I have to wash the dough. Just like washing vegetables, we must wash it several times.”

 

Water was poured on the surface, and soon the whole basin was dyed a layer of milk-like color. Jian Luo was kneading the dough and washing it while paying attention to the color. Finally, when the color of the water was clear, she stopped: ” Now we’re going to collect the noodle-wash and let it sit.”

 

The audience were dumbfounded:

“I always thought we would be eating that dough.”

“Can you eat it after washing it like this?”

“To be honest, anchor, I always thought you were playing.”

“I thought we were going to eat the dough +11Usually used in the comment section to agree with another person’s opinion.

Example-
User 1: I think Jian Luo is scared of Marshal Lu
User 2: Jian Luo is terrified +1.
User 3: +1. In the end, the anchor said we were going to eat the leftover water.”

 

Jian Luo, who had been kneading the dough, smiled, but didn’t say anything else. After the noodle-wash was collected, he put them aside. There was a layer of sediment left in the basin.

 

Jian Luo took out the layer and smeared a layer of oil in the steaming pot. He then lay a thin layer of batter evenly: “Now, let’s prepare to steam it in the pot.”

 

Unlike the fried peppers, this flour was tasteless and very plain. Jian Luo stretched it back and forth two or three times in total, when finally many thin strands of noodles were left. This was the highlight of the day!

 

The audience was also amazed:

“The process is comparable to a chemistry experiment.”

“My God, it’s so hard.”

“Looking forward to the final result, I hope the anchor will not let me down.”

 

Everyone screamed for him to hurry, but Jian Luo was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he leisurely put the dough aside to dry, and prepared the small side ingredients.

 

To eat the noodles, one needed to add some side garnish. After adding some salt and cutting some cucumbers, the chili oil needed to be filtered again. With his strange production methods and the unique choking chili scent, the popularity of his live broadcast increased as Lord Chenguang’s rage grew. 

 

In another room.

 

“Hey Xiaochen, your anchor has updated again.” The moderator called out to him: “Did you watch it?”

 

Lord Chenguang was also watching the live broadcast, so he didn’t have the energy to speak much, “I saw it.”

 

The moderator asked him: “Do you have the energy to replicate it or not? Or you can learn to try it tomorrow. This human anchor limits his purchases every time. As long as you have the energy to reproduce it, we can definitely make more money!”

 

…

 

Lord Chenguang looked at the picture and frowned: “Boss, have you noticed? It’s not that I can’t learn to do it, it’s that I don’t have any peppers!”

 

The moderator was also stunned. They have always been accustomed to copying, so they subconsciously wanted to imitate him, but they never thought that this roadblock would be missed.

 

Lord Chenguang was actually quite a coward even though he earned money unscrupulously. He didn’t want to get involved: “Brother, do you think this Jian Luo has any background? How can he get such things? He is not an ordinary person. Even a platform as big as ours doesn’t have the resources, how could he get it as a human being?”

 

The moderator also fell into contemplation: “No. If he really has some background, he should have spoken up when the potato chips were stolen, so why wait until today? This human could be a little tricky, but he’s definitely not powerful. So since there are peppers, they will definitely be mass-produced seeds at the human planting base. We can contact that person take it out and let us plant it for ourselves!”

…

 

Lord Chenguang was a little worried: “But many people mentioned that our potatoes have side effects after eating them. Will they find us?”

 

The moderator sneered again and again: “Why are you looking for us? The original was made by Jian Luo, so it has nothing to do with us. If there are people who really have any opinions or objections, shouldn’t they also go to the rightful culprit? On the internet, gossip spreads very fast like wildfire, what’s the big deal?”

 

Lord Chengguang thought about it for a while and came to the same conclusion. No matter how one puts it, the other party is just a human being. Even if he had a little talent, he won’t be able to beat them!

 

…

 

In the live broadcast room, the red chili oil noodles have reached their final preparatory steps.

 

Jian Luo poured the red chili oil on them, as if performing some kind of grand ceremony. The aroma of the chili peppers and the dough mixed together, as they were mixed with chopsticks. Their deliciousness wafted close as they are put into one’s mouth. The spiciness that permeated through one’s lips is completely different from that of the tofu. The dough was very glutinous and the aroma of the chili was better integrated with this dish.

 

Seeing Jian Luo’s blissed-out appearance, many viewers in the live broadcast room finally couldn’t sit still.

“I’m going to turn on the sense-sharing hologram!”

“Ow, oh my God, what is this smell? It’s so fragrant.”

“Even if I die today, I won’t skip this… God, it smells so good!”

 

Most people were overwhelmed by the taste of red chili oil noodles.

 

Jian Luo smiled and said: “I have recorded the taste and will limit the purchase to one copy later. Thank you, my fans, for your support!~”

 

After he finished cooking the meal, it was basically time for Jian Luo to end the live broadcast.

 

When he closed the live broadcast, he saw a lot of chats mentioning the name of Lord Chenguang from the layers of barrage. He frowned, but didn’t say anything.

 

“Luoluo, is the live broadcast over?”

 

Su Liang’s voice came from outside.

 

Jian Luo came back to his senses and replied, “Mom, I finished the live broadcast. I made red chilli oil noodles. You can try it and eat it as a late night snack.”

 

Su Liang came in, took the bowl and told him, “Okay, go wash up and rest early.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Got it.”

 

Just as he was about to go to wash up, Su Liang hesitated to speak, before saying: “Luoluo, that Jiang Kang, you must stay far away from him. Now that you are pregnant, mother is really afraid…”

 

Jian Luo understood. He opened his mouth to persuade Su Liang: “Okay mom, I know the gravity of the situation. Don’t worry, I know this in my heart, and I will definitely not mess it up.”

 

Only then did Su Liang nod and start cleaning the kitchen. As long as Jian Luo stayed at home, Su Liang would definitely volunteer and not let him do the work.

 

Seeing this, Jian Luo sighed.

 

Because of Jiang Kang’s matter, Su Liang has been restless, and even Jian Luo didn’t know how to make her feel a little more relieved. In fact, he understood Su Liang’s worries, but Jian Luo felt that it was not a big deal at all. There was no problem with having a few romances before getting married and having children.

 

What’s more, he suspects that he transmigrated with his original body, so forget about him being involved with Jiang Kang, judging by the way Jiang Kang looked at him today, he really doubted that the previous owner of his position was even involved with him at all.

 

On the other side.

 

Inside the imperial garden of the palace.

 

Lu Shifeng sat at the stone table and discussed matters with the little emperor. Because there was a temporary emergency, the little emperor had to rush back to the study, while the marshal took a stroll in the newly built garden by himself.

 

Suddenly, several female voices sounded out:

“Did that one from your family really cheat?”

“It’s true. I now understand that no matter how good you are to him, the flowers at home won’t be as enticing as wild flowers.”

“Why is that? Could it be a mistake? I thought he was usually an honest and timid person.”

 

Lu Shifeng frowned and stopped inexplicably.

 

The other palace maid sighed heavily and said, “It’s not a mistake. You know, there are usually three signs before they cheat and cuckold you.

 

“What signs?”

 

The little palace maid told her the signs: “First of all, he will tell you that he is always busy working overtime, then he will start to tell you that you are annoying, so you don’t always look for him because he can’t reply to you in time because at work. After that, a so-called colleague who has a good relationship with him will appear beside him and inexplicably always looks for him. Even though they were both corroborating, if you voice your jealousy, you will appear unreasonable.”

 

“Oh my God, is that so?”

 

“Yes, and finally, here’s the real kicker, the most absolute sign.” The palace maid said: “If he tells you later that he will work overtime at night and not come back to sleep at night, that is the final straw.”

 

Lu Shifeng stopped listening and left. The Marshal thought it was nonsense. After all, it was impossible for him to encounter such a situation.

 

But thinking about it, Jian Luo went to Peace Paradise and they did not promise to meet up today. Considering this, Lu Shifeng sent a message to Jian Luo: “Is it going well?”

 

His information terminal soon lit up.

 

Jian Luo replied, “It’s okay, my colleagues are very nice to me.”

 

Lu Shifeng’s brows loosened: “Did the small dragons bother you?”

 

“No.”

 

This time, Jian Luo was a little slower to reply.

 

Their chat would usually be over by this time, but while Lu Shifeng was still thinking about whether to continue their conversation, Jian Luo already sent a message: “Okay, I have a colleague who is looking for me here. I will go and direct them first. Have to go.”

 

A colleague?

 

Inexplicably, Lord Marshal thought of the conversation between the two palace maids.

 

Lu Shifeng asked more: “You just went, what do they need you for?”

 

“I’m here to cultivate peppers. As an instructor, I’m sure they want to ask me about work.” Jian Luo simply replied, “I don’t know how to socialize with them.”

 

Lu Shifeng felt a little relieved.

 

That seemed about right. Jian Luo was still very good, but what was that red flag from the last sentence they were talking about?

 

Just when the Marshal was about to type, suddenly another message came from there: “By the way, let me tell you in advance that I may have to work overtime tonight, so I won’t go back home to sleep.”

T/N: The end of June is coming, and we’re almost done with half of 2022, soon it’ll be July… Time sure flies by quickly~ Soon, we’ll be hitting chapter 50 soon, does any of you remember when I started translating this novel? Has it been long since then… I wonder~

 

Consider liking the writer’s work or buying a kofi for me <3 who knows, might update a lil faster hehe

Chapter 12

June 26, 2022 / / 1 Comment

Chapter 12

 

It was obviously impossible to keep a low profile about this kind of thing. It was quickly spread by dozens of people from the originally small Omega group.

 

Many people didn’t dare to look for Lu Jingning, so they quietly went to see Ren Jin, who had actually seen the test result at the time. After getting a reply of confirmation, they only felt that the world was a little too much like a fantasy novel plot.

 

Omegas who were able to enter the Imperial Navy to study often had the ambition of joining the army, but as everyone knew, Omegas were always inferior to Alpha under the influence of pheromones. To hear of an S-class concentration Alpha, would already be an enviable thing after looking at their own sad C to B-class pheromones.

 

But it was different now. In this year’s batch of Omegas, they also had an S-class among them!

 

The Omega freshmen were all very excited and it was as if a radiant light suddenly opened from the skies and a rainbow bridge first emerged, washing away the dark haze.

 

This was probably the prideful feeling of making others feel envious!

 

Look here, there was another owner of S-class pheromones! He was also an Omega just like them!

 

When Ren Jin returned to the dormitory surrounded by the crowd, the Omegas in the entire school had already formed a “Brother Lu Fanclub” in tacit understanding, while he became the president of the fanclub with great honor.

 

At this time, everyone did it on a whim, and no one knew how well-known this president would be in the future.

 

And Lu Jingning, the sole subject, didn’t know that he had already had a fanclub full of fellow brother and sister fans. At this time, what he was thinking about was the last project of the quadruple faculty tonight, which caused him the most headache. Project, codenamed: The Theory exam.

 

The evaluation for one’s level of pheromone concentration was just an entry requirement for entering each faculty. As long as it is higher than the minimum requirements of each faculty, it will be converted into corresponding test scores.

 

The quadruple faculty that Lu Jingning wanted to go to was the one with the highest requirements for pheromones and regardless of whether one was an Alpha or Omega, all of them had to be class A or above.

 

This was enough for others to see how high the entry requirement was.

 

The S-class Lu Jingning has no doubt satisfied the entry requirements, so it was directly converted into 200 test points. Plus the 280 points he obtained in the previous practical test, he had a total of 480 points. Such an absolute high score was actually enough for him to safely enter his top choice, the Integrated Warfare Faculty.

 

Following Lu Jingning’s original intention, he was too lazy to participate in the theory test in the evening, but the Imperial Navy University required all freshmen to be present, otherwise all the test scores obtained before would be voided.

 

So he had no choice. When he saw that the time was approaching, he could only insert a laser pointer into his trousers pocket for writing his name and student number, before staggering to the test site for the prospective students of the Quadruple Faculty.

 

The moment he entered the door, everyone looked at him ceaselessly before going back to doing their own thing.

 

This time before the exam was actually very suitable for cramming, but after the afternoon pheromone test, nearly 3 out of 4 people failed to obtain the A-class rating, so they were automatically disqualified from getting a place at the Quadruple Faculty. As such, most did not take this theory test too seriously, getting together in twos and threes to chat with each other.

 

At first, Lu Jingning didn’t care too much. Seeing that Yu Qingcang hadn’t come, he just found a place to sit down, but before he could find a comfortable position and take a nap, he heard a few scattered words as they entered his ears.

 

“Hey, have you heard that crazy rumor on the Omegas side, saying that they have an S-class ranker this year.”

 

“Ah? An S-class Omega, are they collectively dreaming?”

 

“Hahahaha, could it be that they were agitated after hearing that we also have an S-class pheromone ranker on our side?”

 

“That bullsh-t is exaggerated. An S-class Omega? My old grandmother, grandfather, and my great grandmother as well as my great grandfather have never seen one before.”

 

“Actually, I understand their dissatisfaction, but who asked them to be born as Omegas.”

 

“Yeah, if it is in other fields, they have it easy in the palm of their hands, but I have to say that joining the army is really not suitable for them.”

 

“But it’s really too much this time, yet everyone is still saying that there is an S-class among them like it’s the truth.”

 

Lu Jingning’s eyes that had just closed slowly opened again. His eyes were blurred as he looked towards the other side. He looked at the people who were enthusiastically discussing this, stretched out his muscles, walked over lazily, before suddenly raising his hands and slapping the table heavily.

 

“Bang!” There was a big sound and although he withheld his power, the huge movement still attracted everyone to look over.

 

Those Alphas were inevitably startled and were about to have a heart attack. When they saw his unmistakable blond hair, the foul language in their throats was forced back inside.

 

They might’ve been unfamiliar with Lu Jingning at first and underestimated Lu Jingning before this, but during the actual combat test, this guy’s performance in dismantling the mecha with his bare hands was overkill. No one dared to treat him like an ordinary Omega.

 

Knowing that this man was too irascible, several Alphas exchanged glances, wishing to travel back in time and space to strangle their overly talkative self.

 

Damn, how can you forget that there is such a Master Omega in the examination room!

 

Seeing that Lu Jingning didn’t speak for a while, someone tried to smile dryly, trying to do something to save himself: “Well, fellow classmate… what we did just now, we didn’t mean to look down on Omegas.”

 

Others also laughed dryly and echoed: ” Yes, yes, we really didn’t mean that.”

 

Lu Jingning slightly raised the corners of his mouth. Following the eyes of the audience, his own eyes narrowed and his voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone in the examination room to hear it clearly. He spit out two words slowly: “It’s me.” 

 

The Alpha freshmen were a little dazed: “Huh?”

 

Lu Jingning said in a calm tone: “The rumored S-class Omega is me.”

 

The Alpha freshman laughed dryly: “Fellow classmate, stop joking.”

 

Lu Jingning lowered his eyes lazily and flickered his eyelashes: “Do I look like I’m joking?”

 

The smile on the Alpha freshmen’s faces suddenly froze under his gaze, unable to speak.

 

Just judging from his calm attitude and arrogant stare, it really didn’t look like it.

 

However, it is indeed difficult to accept that there was an S-class Omega after all those Alphas had failed the pheromone concentration test!

 

So, the rumors were true?

 

For a moment, it was as if time stopped at a push of a button as the audience suddenly fell into a strange silence.

 

Wait, the amount of information is too large, give them more time to process it.

 

When Wen Xingchen and the others entered the examination room, they saw such a scene.

 

Yu Qingcang set up a company with the two people in this dormitory after the practical test. Because he was too nervous, he didn’t feel the strange atmosphere in the room. He glanced at Lu Jingning and rushed over excitedly: “Lu Jingning, I heard that in your batch of Omegas, there was someone with an S-class pheromone? Without asking, it must be you, right?! Hurry up and spill it!”

 

Their fellow freshmen: “…”

 

Lu Jingning smiled slightly and was about to open his mouth when a man in a military uniform strode in and interrupted their conversation with a serious tone: “Everyone, return to your places and check your documents. The exam will start immediately. From this moment onwards, noise is prohibited.”

 

As his icy gaze swept across the room, an invisible sense of oppression instantly made everyone shudder.

 

There was no expression on that face and when his eyes passed over Lu Jingning, he paused for a moment, revealing a smile, if it could even be called a smile: “Oh, it’s you. That S-class pheromoned Omega?”

 

When his voice sounded out, all the Alpha freshmen subconsciously covered their chests and there was a clear and distinct sound of gasping from every corner.

 

With how things have developed, there was no need for Lu Jingning to prove himself. It can be said that he has directly obtained the official stamp of certification.

 

No matter how much one was unwilling to believe it, Lu Jingning’s S-class pheromone certification was authentic.

 

Many of them were about to cry.

 

What’s more was that there were Alphas that were eliminated because they couldn’t reach an A-class ranking, yet there really was an S-level Omega here?

 

What was wrong with this world?!

 

Lu Jingning was very happy to see this kind of development. When he met the man’s gaze, he said with a smile: “It is me. Nice to meet you, teacher~!”

 

“I may not be your teacher.” The man looked at him but still had a very business-like tone, “However, welcome to the Integrated Warfare Faculty.”

 

Following Lu Jingning’s actual combat test score, added together with the bonus score from the pheromone concentration ranking, even if he gets a 0 in the theoretical test, he already has enough points and it can be confirmed in advance that a seat in the Quadruple Faculty has already been reserved for him.

 

He was also the first Omega student since its establishment to join the Integrated Warfare Faculty.

 

With such absolute honor to be bestowed upon oneself, if it were someone else, they’d probably work hard to improve their total score. However, Lu Jingning only felt a headache when he saw the contents of the theoretical test. His intention to try and score even just one point did not exist at all.

 

When the topics of the theory test were displayed on the virtual screen in front of him, he only used his laser pointer to sign his name on it. After completely entering his student ID number, he lay down on the table and fell asleep.

 

The other Alpha freshmen who were working hard to get as many test points as possible raised their heads inadvertently, just in time to see the person who was extremely out of place in a group of straight backs: “…”

 

F-ck, was he even trying to take the exam?! This kind of mentality is wrong, completely wrong!!!

 

The author has something to say:

Lu Jingning: Can you blame me? [Shrug.jpg]

 

 

T/N: (>‿◠)✌ Haha, indeed what’s wrong with this world? This world is Lu Jingning’s b-tch and everyone else in the novel better strap on their seatbelts and put on their big boy pants, because things are about to become even more wilder~
