Chapter 12

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~

Chapter 70

       In fact, in Luo Yunguang’s opinion, not only should Li Zhenran not let this secret out, he probably didn’t even want to know it.

       Up to now, it was not only Li Zhenruo who was not Li Jianglin’s biological son, but all the brothers in the Li family were not Li Jianglin’s biological sons. Although it was true that everyone seemed to return to the same starting point, and that no one took advantage and no one suffers losses, but this also meant another thing, that was, once Li Jianglin had hardened his heart, he would not be merciful to anyone, just like Li Zhenruo who was kicked out of the house at the beginning.

       Luo Yunguang’s remark was not a threat, but just a statement of what he thought was a fact.

       Li Zhenran calmed down from the initial shock and frowned silently at this time.

       Li Zhenruo was still holding Li Zhenran’s arm and looked at him worriedly.

       Luo Yunguang said to him, “I only know as much as you want to know, and you really don’t need to ask about other things, just go back. Let’s all pretend not to know about this matter. How about you just return and be the magnificent and well off second young master of the Li family?”

       Li Zhenran patted the back of Li Zhenruo’s hand and nodded, “Uncle Luo, thank you.”

       Luo Yunguang lowered his head and slowly peeled off the soil on his fingers, and said to Li Zhenran, “Your father is old, it is not easy for him to raise you all. You are all children that your parents don’t want. Without him, you would all be orphans, and who knows what kind of hard life you’ll be living now, or where would you be today?”

       These words were not pleasant, but Li Zhenruo felt that he was telling the truth. Without Li Jianglin, it was not certain that Zhao Yuqiong would have given birth to him after being abandoned, and even if she had, Zhao Yuqiong would not have had that long to raise him. As Luo Yunguang said, he might have become a wandering orphan.

       But as a wandering orphan, he might not be killed early, even if he went to work for others, he might marry a wife and live a stable life in the future.

       Right now, Li Zhenruo could no longer easily judge what was better for him, and his feelings for Li Jianglin became more and more complicated. It would be great if Li Jianglin’s purpose in adopting them at the beginning was just to want a few children and be an ordinary father, not to choose a qualified heir from among them.

       Everything they wanted to know from Luo Yunguang was clear. At this time, Luo Yunguang’s wife invited them to have breakfast together, but Li Zhenran and Li Zhenruo lost their appetite.

       Luo Yunguang didn’t express any more reservations about their leaving, and he probably didn’t want to stop them from leaving either.

       Li Zhenran came out of Luo’s house and always looked preoccupied.

       Li Zhenruo wanted to say something to comfort him but wondered if it would be better for him to be quieter. Sometimes people just need someone to accompany them.

       It was still early, and none of the stores on the street was open. Only the cleaners were cleaning the ground with brooms. The slate path was very clean, with a little moist moisture from dew.

       Li Zhenran suddenly stopped, turned around and put both hands on Li Zhenruo’s shoulders, and said to him, “Don’t worry too much about those things.”

       Li Zhenruo was stunned for a moment and asked him, “What?” He didn’t understand why it was more like Li Zhenran comforting him now.

       Li Zhenran said, “I know he’s not being fair to you.”

       Li Zhenruo was in a slight trance before he realized what he meant, “Are you trying to say that you think Li Jianglin is unfair to me?” Obviously, he was not his biological son, but he had become the only victim right now. If he were to think so, it was indeed very unfair for him and he should hate Li Jianglin, even everyone in the Li family.

       But Li Zhenruo found that he was very calm, and he didn’t even think of going to that place at all. Unconsciously, his state of mind seems to have changed slowly. In regards to the matter of the Li family, he felt more and more like an outsider who could simply strip himself from his angry state of mind.

       He might still care about the person who killed him, but he didn’t care so much about status and wealth.

       Of course, what he cared most about now was Li Zhenran.

       However, when he was worried that Li Zhenran would be sad, Li Zhenran was also worried that he would be sad. When he thought of this, Li Zhenruo couldn’t help but slightly smile, and said, “I’m fine, anyway it’s already like this. There’s no need to be trapped in the emotions at that time, why not think about doing something more practical.”

       Li Zhenran heard the words and reached out and hugged him.

       The cleaners in the distance stood up straight and looked in their direction.

       But neither of them cared.

       Li Zhenruo approached Li Zhenran’s ear and asked him, “Are you angry? Or sad?”

       Li Zhenran was silent for a while before telling him, “I didn’t feel much. It’s more likely just a shock than those emotions you said.”

       Li Zhenruo hugged him tightly, patted him on the back, and asked him, “Are you hungry? I’ll go buy you some breakfast.”

       Li Zhenran then asked, “Oh? Is there anything to eat around here?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “I saw a family selling egg crepe yesterday, and it seemed to be very good.”

       Li Zhenran laughed, “Did you want to eat it since yesterday?”

       Li Zhenruo smiled and didn’t speak. He let go of Li Zhenran and ran forward.

       The owner of that egg crepe had just set up his shop, and when he saw Li Zhenruo come to buy egg crepe early in the morning, he chatted with him for a while.

       When Li Zhenruo went over with the egg crepe, she saw Li Zhenran standing under the eaves in the street, and turned his head to look at the other side of the street.

       Li Zhenruo looked at him and saw the backs of a middle-aged couple who were slowly walking forward.

       He handed the egg crepe and soy milk to Li Zhenran and asked him, “What are you looking at?”

       Li Zhenran shook his head, the egg crepe was still a little hot in his hand, he said to Li Zhenruo, “Let’s go back.”

       “Okay,” Li Zhenruo nodded as he pulled open the plastic pocket in his hand to reveal the egg crepe inside, and took a careful bite. He was a little afraid of hot foods. Ever since he was a child, Wang Ma said he had a cat’s tongue, but now it’s better, he really did have a cat’s tongue.

       The two walked forward along the street. When they walked more than ten meters, Li Zhenruo suddenly stopped and looked back for some reason. He saw that the couple who were walking forward had stopped and stood in front of the Luo Yunguang couple’s house where they had just left.

       The couple knocked on the door, but Luo Yunguang didn’t open the door.

       Li Zhenran saw Li Zhenruo suddenly stop and asked him, “What?”

       Li Zhenruo looked at him, then turned to look at the couple, and said, “Luo Yunguang is at home, why doesn’t he open the door?”

       Li Zhenran also stood still and looked in that direction without saying anything.

       The two of them watched the door that the couple had knocked on for a long time, tried to look inside through the courtyard door, and then left helplessly.

       The egg crepe in Li Zhenruo’s hand was cold before he knew it, and he asked Li Zhenran, “Is Luo Yunguang avoiding everyone who came to him, or just avoiding you and the two of them?”

       Li Zhenran didn’t answer directly, but instead asked, “What do you think?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “I didn’t see it clearly just now, but you saw the couple’s face, right? Why do you keep staring at them?”

       Li Zhenran reached out and wiped off a few food crumbs from the corner of Li Zhenruo’s mouth, and said, “Maybe it’s because I’m too sensitive. When I saw that man just now, I remembered someone.”

       Li Zhenruo looked at him and said, “Could they be Li Zhentai’s parents? Luo Yunguang may not have known in advance that we would be coming when he was hiding from anyone. Maybe he was hiding from the couple.”

       Li Zhenran didn’t answer, just said to him, “Your soy milk is cold.”

       Li Zhenruo asked him, “You obviously saw it, why didn’t you tell me?”

       Li Zhenran said, “What can you do if you know?”

       Li Zhenruo calmed down, an idea came into his head. He didn’t harm anyone, and he just had to return what Li Zhentai had done to him.

       But this also means another thing, not only Li Zhentai but also Li Zhenran and Li Zhenzi’s identities may be exposed. Li Jianglin was not a fool. He endured it for the first time, but he wouldn’t endure it one after another. He really didn’t know what the consequences would be.

       Li Zhenran saw him fall silent and said to him, “Leave it to me.”

       Li Zhenruo looked at him.

       Li Zhenran said, “If they really are Li Zhentai’s biological parents, I have a way to guide them to find Li Zhentai, and won’t let them know that I had someone tell them; if they are not, it is very simple, as long as Li Zhentai’s parents are still alive In this world, I can find them and tell them that their son is now a rich young master.”

       Li Zhenruo grabbed his hand, “Have you ever thought that you might get entangled?”

       Li Zhenran said, “It doesn’t matter, I’m not afraid. If there were concerns, it was only at the beginning, but now I don’t have them, and I do not owe him anything. Even if I reveal his identity, it is not considered wrong.”

       Li Zhenruo was still a little hesitant.

       Li Zhenran stretched out his hand and pinched his chin to make him raise his head, “Don’t think too much and don’t be afraid. If you don’t do something, the initiative will be transferred to him.”

       Li Zhenruo knew that he was timid. If he knew this from the beginning, he would not hesitate, but now he had something to worry about. Before taking revenge, the first thing he thought about was not hurting Li Zhenran because of it.

       Li Zhenran wiped his oily lips with his fingers again, “Finish your breakfast first.”

       They went back from Luo Yunguang’s, when they were waiting for the plane at the airport, Li Zhenran received a call from Su Yao, telling him that something had happened to Li Zhenzi.

       “What happened?” Li Zhenruo looked serious when he saw Li Zhenran answering the phone, and knew that it wouldn’t be a good thing.

       Li Zhenran said, “He was beaten up and blackmailed, and the police have been called.”

       Li Zhenruo didn’t have to think about it at all and knew that it was because he hooked up with other people’s wives. He wanted to say that he deserved it, but knowing that the female star’s husband, You Bo, was not a good person, it was still a bit troublesome to solve this matter.

       The money came second, You Bo himself was a rich man. The main point was that the man’s pride had been hurt and wanted to pay it back no matter what.

       After they returned by plane, Li Zhenran first took Li Zhenruo to the hospital to visit Li Zhenzi.

       After all, Su Yao had called. As a brother, he was not that unkind to not even take a look at him. It was just that Li Zhenran originally called his driver to pick up the car, but Li Zhentai didn’t plan to return the driver he borrowed from him before, and the driver was caught in the middle.

       Li Zhenran simply told him not to come, and that he could take a taxi.

       The driver followed Li Zhenran for a long time. At this time, while apologizing repeatedly, he couldn’t help but complain in a low voice, asking Li Zhenran to tell Li Zhentai to hurry up and take him back.

       Li Zhenran heard the words and persuaded, “Be patient for a while, and it will be fine soon.”

       Li Zhenruo was a little tired, leaned on Li Zhenran’s shoulder, and asked him, “What will be fine soon?”

       Li Zhenran pinched his chin, “The more things Li Zhentai did, the easier it is to make mistakes. The more power he has, the easier it is to indulge. What is Li Jianglin’s most precious thing? It’s not his son, but his Yunlin. You see, how long do you think he will put up with Li Zhentai?”

       Li Zhenruo thought for a while, then suddenly sat up straight, “I thought of one thing, since you are not Li Jianglin’s own son, what if you marry a woman and have children? Anyway, your son has no blood relationship with him. If you follow him to adopt one, why can’t he accept? “

       Li Zhenran smiled, “You’re right, so he’s just putting on a show for us. If my estimation is correct, he took the opportunity to beat me while indulging the eldest to put him in order.”

       Li Zhenruo thought about it for a long time and said, “I finally understand a lot of things that I couldn’t figure out in the past. Why did Li Jianglin insist that the eldest marry Wen Chun must be because the eldest is not his own son and he doesn’t like him, and he may not be as good as the daughter of his friend Wen Chun in his heart. As long as Wen Chun is willing to marry, he will decide to let him marry; but now to him, it is not so important whether you can inherit the lineage or not. On the contrary, the eldest who tampered with his brothers secretly was more hateful, because no one knows whether he will go back to deal with Li Jianglin when he finishes cleaning up his brothers? “

       Li Zhenran looked at him with a smile.

       Li Zhenruo said, “Did you just figure it out?”

       Li Zhenran nodded, “You are right.”

       When they arrived at the hospital, as soon as they opened the door of the ward, they saw Su Yao sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, while Li Zhenzi was lying on the hospital bed, one leg fell off, and his face was covered with gauze.

       When Su Yao saw Li Zhenran and the others, she put down the magazine in her hand and stood up.

       Li Zhenran asked her, “Why are you here?”

       Su Yao said, “Why else? He’s all alone, who wants to come here to guard him?”

       When Li Zhenruo heard this, he couldn’t help but pop up and say to the person lying on the hospital bed, “So you were a short-lived illicit couple, and you’ve been cut off before the disaster strikes?”

       Li Zhenzi was sober, rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to pay attention to him, but called Li Zhenran, “Second brother.”

       “How is it?” Li Zhenran sat down on the chair beside the bed.

       Su Yao stood by the bed, leaned forward slightly with her hands on the fence, and said, “It’s nothing, a gash on the forehead and a broken leg, but he can’t die yet.”

       Li Zhenzi said angrily, “You wish I could just die, right?”

       Su Yao didn’t speak and just smiled.

       Li Zhenruo turned to look at Su Yao, and she could see her beautiful figure clearly from this angle.

       Li Zhenran suddenly said to Li Zhenruo, “You go outside and wait for me for a while.”

       Li Zhenruo was taken aback for a moment and thought that Li Zhenran had something to tell Li Zhenzi in private, which was really rare since Li Zhenran would not hide anything from him in general. He looked at Li Zhenran and saw that Li Zhenran’s eyes were a little cold, and he suddenly came back to his senses. It must be because he just looked at Su Yao that glance was noticed by Li Zhenran.

       Going that far? He hadn’t seen anything yet? And even if he saw it, it was to appreciate the beauty, and there was no strange emotion at all, right?

       Li Zhenruo was a little indignant, turned around and opened the door of the ward and went out.

       He stood outside the door and didn’t go far, leaned his back against the wall, calmed down and still thought about the matter with Li Jianglin. He thought that if Li Jianglin really planned to clean up Li Zhentai, then at the risk of exposing Li Zhenran’s identity, was it necessary for Li Zhentai’s biological parents to find him?

       Should they wait a little longer? Wait until Li Jianglin couldn’t help but put Li Zhentai in order first? Then, he would only need to step on Li Zhentai when he was at his worst, asked him what his motive for the killing was, and then decide to not continue to deal with him?

       Li Zhenruo was a little dazed, and when he came back to his senses, he noticed that a tall man in a suit walked in front of him. Not only one, but three or four people followed behind the man, looking aggressive.

       The man stopped at the door of the ward and first asked, “Is this the third young master Li’s ward?”

       A man behind him responded, “Yes, Mr. You.”

       Mr. You? Li Zhenruo couldn’t help looking up at him, You Bo?

       It happened that You Bo also lowered his head and stared at Li Zhenruo with interest, “Who are you? Li Zhenzi stayed here?”

       Before Li Zhenruo could answer him, a person behind him rushed forward and said to him, “A brother saw this person come up with Li Zhenran just now. I heard that it is the little white boy that Li Zhenran took care of.”

       You Bo smiled when he heard the words, “Oh, that little boy is really white.” After speaking, he stretched out his hand and touched Li Zhenruo’s face.

       Li Zhenruo ducked his head and avoid it. He stepped back half a step and opened the door of the ward with his hand.

       You Bo’s eyes were full of contemptuous smiles. He was not in a hurry to enter the ward but looked up and down at Li Zhenruo, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the front of his shirt.

       Li Zhenruo didn’t expect that he would act so suddenly, and he grabbed the front of the shirt and pulled it forward. At the same time, a hand stretched out from the door and grabbed Yubo’s wrist and squeezed it hard. You Bo had to stop moving and let go of Li Zhenruo.

       Standing at the door of the ward, Li Zhenran pulled Li Zhenruo to his side, gently tidied up Li Zhenruo’s loose clothes, and said casually, “Boss You, what a rare guest.”

Chapter 6

       Ning Junyan had an operation in the afternoon. It was only when it was time to suture that he left the operating table, took off his blood-stained gloves and left the operating room.

       In the corridor outside the operating room, Ning Junyan met a familiar doctor, nodded calmly, and walked toward the dressing room.

       After he took a shower and changed clothes, Ning Junyan put on a white coat over his shirt, buttoned up while walking toward the elevator, and went back to the department office.

       There was a private small refrigerator in his office, and there were only a few bottles of mineral water when he opened the refrigerator. He took a bottle, turned around and sat on the office chair. He unscrewed the bottle cap, raised his head and took a gulp.

       He had the habit of drinking ice water all year round, and he couldn’t remember when he developed it.

       After he drank the water, Ning Junyan sat on the chair and looked to the front indifferently. His slender fingers still had a warm touch, which was the touch of human flesh and blood through gloves, making him subconsciously rub his fingertips lightly.

       The air conditioner was hot, and the hot water in the shower was also hot. Only the mineral water in his hand was still cold. He drank the last sip of water left at the bottom of the bottle and picked up the phone on the table.

       It was almost six o’clock now.

       It was at this time that Chen Yuncheng received a WeChat message from Ning Junyan, “Have you eaten yet?”

       At that time, he was still watching an unfinished ball game and there was an inexplicable feeling that was interrupted, and he replied, “No.”

       Ning Junyan immediately sent another message, “Wait for me.”

       Chen Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to reply, and put the phone aside. It just so happened that the ball game on the TV was over. He stood up in the middle of the narrow counter, leaned on the counter and looked outside, but he didn’t see Ning Junyan’s Land Rover. So he sat back again, picked up the phone and replied, “Sure, I’ll buy you dinner.”

       After waiting for more than 40 minutes, Ning Junyan parked his Land Rover in front of Chen Yuncheng’s small kiosk, opened the door and got off.

       Chen Yuncheng stood up from the chair and greeted him at the counter with a smile, “Coming in?”

       Ning Junyan replied only one word, “En.”

       Chen Yuncheng said to him, “Sit down for a while.”

       There was also a wooden stool in the store, just outside the counter, Ning Junyan sat down on the stool and looked up at Chen Yuncheng.

       Chen Yuncheng asked him, “Do you smoke?”

       Ning Junyan shook his head.

       Chen Yuncheng asked again, “Just got off work?”

       Ning Junyan replied, “Yes.”

       Today, Ning Junyan wore a down jacket. Chen Yuncheng didn’t know what brand it was but only thought the model was nice, and it looked very thick. His down jacket was open, and he wore only a thin white shirt inside, and he didn’t seem to feel cold.

       Chen Yuncheng leaned on the counter and said to him, “You didn’t tell me earlier that you are free today, so I can’t prepare in advance.”

       Ning Junyan heard the words and asked, “Are you busy?”

       There were only the two of them in the store, and no other customers were seen. Chen Yuncheng’s TV was always on, and it didn’t look like he was busy.

       However, Chen Yuncheng smiled without changing his expression, and said, “I was quite busy in the afternoon, cleaning up this month’s bills.”

       Ning Junyan nodded and asked again, “Are you done now?”

       “I’m done,” Chen Yuncheng said, “What do you want to eat? I’ll treat you tonight.” After he finished speaking, he secretly prayed that Ning Junyan would never want to go to the high-end restaurant that night.

       In the end, Ning Junyan said, “Anything is fine.”

       Chen Yuncheng thought about it seriously, and said, “Why don’t you just eat here, I’ll go buy some food and come back, I also have a beer here, you can drink some wine.” He looked at Ning Junyan, wondering if the other party would mind.

       Ning Junyan replied, “Okay.”

       Chen Yuncheng went to a restaurant he frequented across the street and ordered a few dishes. He and Ning Junyan were inside the store and sat face to face at the counter for dinner.

       Ning Junyan didn’t drink in the end, because he wanted to drive, and Chen Yuncheng only opened himself a bottle of beer.

       “The taro chicken in this store is delicious,” Chen Yuncheng picked up a piece of taro with chopsticks and put it in his bowl, “I just don’t know if you’re used to eating it.”

       “I’m used to eating everything,” Ning Junyan’s tone didn’t waver when he said this sentence.

       Chen Yuncheng glanced at him subconsciously, hesitated for a while but still didn’t mention the past. It was just that he later found cucumbers in the side dish of taro chicken, and he was a little dazed, and asked Ning Junyan, “Are you still not eating cucumber?”

       Ning Junyan looked up at him for a while before saying, “Do you remember?”

       Chen Yuncheng smiled, “I still have a little impression,” he looked at Ning Junyan, “You can give me everything you don’t want to eat.”

       This sentence was what he said to Ning Junyan when he was a child. He even remembered that when they were eating, Ning Junyan picked up the cucumbers in the bowl and threw them on the table because he didn’t eat cucumbers. The foster father that sat next to him raised his hand and gave Ning Junyan a slap in the face, and said grimly, “Pick it up and eat it.”

       Chen Yuncheng held the chopsticks in one hand and the bowl in the other and didn’t dare to move. He peeked at Ning Junyan and saw that half of Ning Junyan’s face was quickly swollen, but he didn’t mean to be disobedient, so he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the cucumber on the table and ate it.

       “I like to eat cucumbers,” he said.

       The foster father’s shrivelled mouth chewed on the rice and hummed, but said nothing.

       Chen Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief, then sneaked close to Ning Junyan’s ear and said to him, “You can give me whatever you don’t want to eat.”

       At that time, Ning Junyan just glanced at him calmly.

       Looking back now, Chen Yuncheng no longer felt the nervousness and anger he felt at the time, and he could even laugh.

       Ning Junyan looked at him and suddenly asked, “Do you want whatever I give you?”

       Chen Yuncheng wasn’t quite sure what his question meant, “What?”

       Ning Junyan said, “It’s nothing, let’s eat.”

       It was past eight o’clock in the evening after dinner.

       Chen Yuncheng wiped the glass on the counter with a wet wipe, and at the same time peeked at Ning Junyan. He wanted to know if Ning Junyan had any intention of leaving.

       Ning Junyan obviously did not.

       Chen Yuncheng had to continue to find topics to chat with him, and asked him, “Why do you suddenly think of asking me for dinner today?”

       Ning Junyan’s eyes kept falling on him, looking at his fingers holding the wet wipes, and said, “There is an operation in the afternoon.”

       “Huh?” Chen Yuncheng didn’t understand what he meant.

       Ning Junyan’s answer seemed to have nothing to do with his question, “It’s more troublesome.”

       Chen Yuncheng asked, “Is it going well?”

       Ning Junyan nodded.

       Chen Yuncheng said, “That’s good.”

       “Doing the surgery ……,” Ning Junyan said, “Requires a lot of concentration.”

       Chen Yuncheng followed his words and said, “Yeah, that definitely requires full attention.”

       Ning Junyan lowered his head and looked at his hand. He held the fingers of his right hand with his left hand. The fingertips recalled the touch of fresh blood, and said in a slightly colder tone, “I want to vent after that.”

       Chen Yuncheng stopped cleaning the glass and leaned on the counter, “How d you want to vent?”

       Ning Junyan raised his head to look at him but did not answer the question.

       For some reason, the look in Ning Junyan’s eyes made Chen Yuncheng a little uncomfortable at that moment. Just when he was about to say something, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a voice from outside the store.

       A little girl looked up at him and said, “I want to buy some bread.”

       Chen Yuncheng’s store had the kind of bread that was sealed in plastic packaging and had a shelf life of two or three days.

       He looked over the counter and found that the little girl outside was the girl he had seen stealing at the intersection before, and the cotton coat she was wearing had not been changed for many days.

       Chen Yuncheng reached out and took a piece of bread and asked her, “This one?”

       The girl nodded.

       Chen Yuncheng handed it to her, “Let me treat you this.”

       The girl was stunned for a moment, reached out to take it, and then said, “Then I’ll buy another one myself.”

       Chen Yuncheng laughed when he heard the words, “Okay.”


Notes:
So the foster mother and father are actually 干妈 and 干爸 in Chinese which could also mean adoptive mother and father, and some may translate it as godmother and godfather.. But I settled on foster mother and father since the kiddos are not willingly given by their own biological parents for these people to raise

Chapter 5

       Zhou Yan didn’t say why he thought Ning Junyan was scary, and Chen Yuncheng didn’t ask. In comparison, Chen Yuncheng and Ning Junyan had been together for a longer time. He knew Ning Junyan better than Zhou Yan, and he also knew why Zhou Yan was afraid of Ning Junyan.

       There was a time when not only Zhou Yan was afraid of Ning Junyan, but even his foster parents were also afraid of him.

       After the meal, Zhou Yan had to go to the hospital, and the two parted at the door of the restaurant.

       Chen Yuncheng walked back alone for more than ten minutes. Because he had just eaten and drank some wine, his whole body felt warm, and he couldn’t help but slightly open the front of his down jacket when he got there.

       Back in the inner room of his small kiosk, Chen Yuncheng lowered his head and smelled the down jacket. He took off his clothes and hung them at the window, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

       The water took a while to get hot, so Chen Yuncheng took advantage of this time to take off his clothes and stood under the shower until the water was completely heated up.

       He habitually picked up the water and washed his face, suddenly recalling the first time he helped Ning Junyan take a bath.

       It was the same day that he first met Ning Junyan. After dinner at night, his foster father and foster mother went back to the room to watch TV, while he boiled a pot of boiling water on the gas stove in the kitchen.

       It was early summer, and the weather was quite hot but not so hot that he would take a bath with cold water.

       After the water was heated up, Chen Yuncheng carried the kettle to the yard. He first took half a bucket of cold water into the bucket and then mixed it with hot water until he felt that the temperature was just right.

       Then Chen Yuncheng took off his clothes and used a small aluminium basin to scoop water on himself.

       During this process, Ning Junyan squatted by the wall and kept looking at him blankly.

       But at that time Chen Yuncheng didn’t know what Ning Junyan’s name was. He rinsed his body with water, wiped it from head to toe with soap, and after rubbing the foam carefully, he washed the foam away with water and felt that he had washed himself clean.

       Chen Yuncheng shook the water from his hair, and instead of reaching for the towel, he squatted down and lifted the kettle, and found that there was half a kettle of hot water left.

       After hesitating for a while, Chen Yuncheng raised his head to look at Ning Junyan and called him, “Hey!”

       Ning Junyan did not respond.

       Chen Yuncheng said tentatively, “Mute? Are you a mute?”

       Ning Junyan looked at him.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t care that he was still naked, and waved to him calmly, “Do you want to take a bath?”

       Ning Junyan didn’t move.

       Chen Yuncheng simply walked toward him, grabbed his hand, pulled him up from the wall, and dragged him to the yard.

       Ning Junyan’s body was still dirty, Chen Yuncheng stretched out his hand to undress him, but he didn’t resist. Only after he took off Ning Junyan’s shirt did Chen Yuncheng find that Ning Junyan had a large number of scratches on his back, and the colour was still bright red now.

       Chen Yuncheng frowned and didn’t ask him how he was hurt. He squatted down and took off his trousers. When he took it off to his feet, he raised his head and said to him, “Lift your feet.”

       Ning Junyan looked down at him and raised his feet one after the other, allowing Chen Yuncheng to strip him naked as well.

       The two of them stood by the drainage ditch in the corner of the yard, because Ning Junyan was a bit higher than Chen Yuncheng, Chen Yuncheng stood at the edge of the concrete pool and raised the basin in his hand to pour the water over his head.

       As the water dripped down, Chen Yuncheng found that Ning Junyan frowned unconsciously.

       At that time, it was not completely dark, and Chen Yuncheng subconsciously ruffled the hair on top of Ning Junyan’s head, only to find that he also had injuries on his head.

       Chen Yuncheng lowered his head and said to Ning Junyan, “You have a wound on your head, does it hurt?”

       Ning Junyan just glanced at him.

       Chen Yuncheng thought he was very interesting, and asked again, “Does it hurt? If it hurts, I’ll be more gentle.”

       Unexpectedly, Ning Junyan shook his head very lightly at this time.

       Chen Yuncheng was a little surprised, and said after a pause, “Then I will continue to wash.”

       Despite that, Chen Yuncheng carefully avoided the wound on Ning Junyan’s head, and when applying soap to him, he gently wiped his back, trying not to hurt him.

       After they took a shower, Chen Yuncheng found a set of old clothes for Ning Junyan to put on.

       This set of clothes was too big for Chen Yuncheng. It wasn’t his clothes at first. It was old clothes that his foster mother had gotten for him. After she washed it, she kept it in Chen Yuncheng’s cabinet.

       After that, Chen Yuncheng threw the dirty clothes that the two of them had changed into the basin and washed them together. While he was doing the laundry, Ning Junyan sat on the small stool under the eaves and looked at Chen Yuncheng intently.

       Chen Yuncheng occasionally raised his head to talk to him, Ning Junyan would not respond to him, but Chen Yuncheng didn’t mind talking to himself.

       It was completely dark by this time. An incandescent lamp was lit in the yard, and a few moths circled constantly around the light.

       There were four rooms around the yard; one was the kitchen where they ate, and only one of the other three rooms was lit. It was their foster parent’s room where they were watching TV.

       After Chen Yuncheng finished washing his clothes, he turned off the lights in the yard and took Ning Junyan’s hand to his room.

       The room had a worn wooden bed and an old-fashioned wooden wardrobe.

       Chen Yuncheng asked him to sit down beside the bed, turned on a small lamp, and then opened the cabinet and rummaged in the drawers below. He found a few Band-Aids, and then returned to the bed. He said to Ning Junyan, “I’ll help you deal with it. Is the wound on the head okay?” He knew that the foster father and foster mother wouldn’t care about it.

       Ning Junyan looked at the Band-Aid in his hand and did not speak.

       Chen Yuncheng took it as his silent agreement. He raised his hand and brushed Ning Junyan’s hair to take a closer look at the wound on the top of the head. The wound on Ning Junyan’s head was not very deep, and it didn’t look too serious, but there was a big bulge next to the wound. Chen Yuncheng pressed it down with his hand and found that it was soft but not bleeding.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t understand what was going on. He held the Band-Aid in his hand for a long time and felt that he was blocked by Ning Junyan’s hair. He hesitated, and asked Ning Junyan, “Can I cut your hair short?”

       Ning Junyan did not answer.

       Chen Yuncheng made his own decision, picked up the scissors on the bedside table, and cut the hair on the top of Ning Junyan’s head mercilessly. In the end, only a thin layer was left to stick to the scalp, before he put the Band-Aid on.

       After he put on the Band-Aid, Chen Yuncheng saw that Ning Junyan’s hair was messed up as if it had been bitten by a dog, so he cut all the hair around him short.

       During this process, Ning Junyan sat motionless by the bed.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t care whether the cut was good or not. After the cut, he called him to get up, brushed all the hair that has been cut off on the sheets to the ground, and said to Ning Junyan, “Go and bring in the broom for me.”

       Ning Junyan didn’t respond.

       Chen Yuncheng was not angry, he went out and took a broom to clean all the hair on the ground. Afterwards, he returned to his room, turned over on the bed, pulled out an old comic from under the pillow, lay down and read it intently.

       Ning Junyan stood by the bed and watched him for a while, then quietly climbed onto the bed and lay down beside Chen Yuncheng.

       ———

       After he turn off the hot water, Chen Yuncheng reached out and picked up the towel hanging on the wall to wipe his body, and wiped the mist on the mirror.

       In the mirror, there was no longer the flimsy and thin boy at that time. The twenty eight year old Chen Yuncheng was well-proportioned, with a thin layer of muscles covering his chest and abdomen, and his legs were slender.

       He hadn’t thought about those things in the past for a long time. Maybe it was Ning Junyan’s sudden appearance that made him remember again.

       As he put on his pyjamas, Chen Yuncheng left the bathroom and went back to the bed in the room to lie down. Strictly speaking, the conditions here were not very good, but this bed was much softer and warmer than the one he slept with Ning Junyan before.

       Chen Yuncheng pulled the quilt to cover half of his face. The alcohol made his heart beat faster, he was a little irritable, and he was reluctant to recall those pasts.
