Chapter 52

August 16, 2023 / / 2 Comments

       Suo Yang’s soup was steaming in the pot when the doorbell rang.

       He turned down the heat, turned and ran out of the kitchen.

       Suo Yang went to open the door for Shen Huiming and was hugged as soon as the door opened.

       Shen Huiming lazily put his weight on Suo Yang, sighed and said, “Finally, I’m off work.”

       Suo Yang smiled and patted him on the back lightly, “Let me close the door.”

       Shen Huiming straightened up and turned to help him close the door.

       He changed his shoes and went inside.

       Shen Huiming said, “I’m really exhausted today.”

       “Haven’t you had dinner tonight?” Suo Yang went into the room and brought out a pair of pyjamas for him, which was a clear sign that she was leaving him to stay here for the night.

       Shen Huiming was of course happy. He took the pyjamas and directly changed into them in the living room.

       “What are you doing? It smells so good.”

       Suo Yang fetched him a glass of water and put it on the coffee table, “Sea bass fish soup, I heard that it is good for the stomach, but I don’t know if it’s true.”

       Shen Huiming quickly changed into his pyjamas, took a sip of water, and followed him into the kitchen.

       “It smells so good.” He hugged Suo Yang from behind and rested his chin on his shoulder, “Coming back late at night to a warm soup, what more could one ask for?”

       Suo Yang smiled, lifted the lid, and took a small mouthful with a spoon.

       “Want to try it?”

       “Yes.” Shen Huiming leaned over, blew on it, and drank it sizzlingly.

       “It’s over.” Shen Huiming let out a ‘tsk’.

       His reaction made Suo Yang a little nervous, “Why? Doesn’t taste good?”

       “No,” Shen Huiming said, “I showed off my culinary skills in front of you before, and I felt like a fool trying to impress a master.”

       Suo Yang heaved a sigh of relief, “You scared me.”

       He turned around and scooped up a spoonful to taste too.

       “Not bad.” Suo Yang muttered to himself softly.

       After turning off the heat, Suo Yang said to Shen Huiming, “There is a soup bowl in the cabinet at the back. Please help me get it.”

       Shen Huiming obediently followed orders, allowing the other party to command.

       “Actually, I don’t know how to do this.” Suo Yang poured out the soup and pointed to the mobile phone on the microwave, “I just look at the recipe and follow it step by step.”

       “Then you are very talented.” Shen Huiming followed Suo Yang to take out the soup, “You did it so well the first time. I’m afraid the restaurant chefs will be out of a job in the future.”

       Suo Yang turned back and laughed at him, “You don’t have to praise me like that.”

       “It’s from the bottom of my heart, I can’t help it,” he sat down and sniffed it, “I can’t control it.”

       The two sat side by side, very close to each other, and slowly drank the soup that Suo Yang carefully cooked.

       Shen Huiming said, “To be honest, getting this treatment makes me feel like I’m going to wake up in a dream with a smile.”

       “You’re exaggerating.” Suo Yang said, “It’s just when I have time. Usually I’m flying out, I don’t even have the chance to make it for you.”

       Shen Huiming finished the soup in the bowl in one gulp, pulled Suo Yang over and kissed him.

       Both of them had the smell of fish soup in their mouths, and their tongues hooked together were sticky with fragrance.

       After the kiss was over, Suo Yang asked him with a smile, “What’s wrong?”

       “I’m touched.” Shen Huiming sighed, turned around and poured himself another bowl of soup.

       In fact, he didn’t want to be too mushy in front of Suo Yang. Sometimes, certain words could come across as overly sentimental.

       However, Shen Huiming really couldn’t help it.

       Ever since he met Suo Yang, he had never expected that Suo Yang would do anything for him. In his opinion, he was the one who chased after Suo Yang first, and he was the one who stalked him. Although he knew that Suo Yang was sincere with him, he felt that people like Suo Yang, who were used to living alone, didn’t think so much about many things.

       In fact, however, it was him who was narrow-minded.

       Suo Yang was better than he imagined.

       Suo Yang was too shy to say ‘I love you’, but everything he did clearly told Shen Huiming that he loved him.

       “If you feel touched, then drink two more bowls.” Suo Yang said, “I don’t cook often.”

       After he said it, he even felt a bit embarrassed.

       Two more bowls were a must. It was already nighttime, Shen Huiming even fished out fish and shared half of it with Suo Yang.

       The two satiated and rubbed each other’s bellies on the bed, Suo Yang couldn’t laugh or cry and said, “Why are we doing this?”

       “Because we are happy, I guess.” said Shen Huiming, as he rubbed his bulging stomach lightly, “Suddenly I feel that our days are really warm.”

       Suo Yang turned to look at him. The distance between the two was very close, and he could even see the inconspicuous mole on Shen Huiming’s face.

       Suo Yang raised his hand and lightly poked the mole with his finger.

       “Do you know what a mole growing here represents?”

       Suo Yang’s voice sounded better in the quiet night. Shen Huiming looked at him, held his hand, and kissed his fingers, “What does it represent?”

       “Loneliness.” Suo Yang said, “A mole in this position on a man’s face means that he will be lonely all his life.”

       Shen Huiming laughed at him, “You still believe this?”

       Suo Yang shook his head: “I actually don’t believe in anything but myself.”

       “You are right,” Shen Huiming said, “my mole is the best proof. It says I will be lonely, but I met you.”

       Shen Huiming turned over, pressed himself against Suo Yang’s body, and gently kissed the cold tip of his nose.

       “With you, how can I still be lonely?”

       It was already midnight, and the two kissed each other.

       Outside, at some point, a light rain began to fall, pattering, falling on the windowsill and hitting the window, drenching the night even more.

===

       The next morning, Suo Yang got up first.

       He wouldn’t normally wake up this early during his days off, but he thought about how Shen Huiming had worked overtime yesterday and stayed up late after returning. The night before, before they went to bed, he had specifically asked Shen Huiming if they had to go to the company today.

       In Shen Huiming’s words—when it’s your own business, you naturally have to put in more effort.

       Throughout the company, the most tiring one was probably the boss.

       In order for Shen Huiming to sleep a little longer, Suo Yang got up lightly, washed up, and went into the kitchen.

       He cooked porridge, made some light side dishes, and then waited for Shen Huiming to get up and eat it afterwards.

       At 7:30, Suo Yang went back to the bedroom, lifted the quilt and lay down, and hugged Shen Huiming.

       It just so happened that the alarm clock on Shen Huiming’s mobile phone rang at this time, and the sleepy Shen Huiming subconsciously kissed Suo Yang’s forehead before reaching out to turn off the alarm clock.

       “Good morning.” Suo Yang looked at him.

       Shen Huiming obviously hadn’t slept enough. He lay there and stretched hard before hugging Suo Yang again and nestled in his arms.

       Suo Yang smiled lightly and said, “Breakfast is ready, do you want to get up and eat or sleep for a while?”

       “You did it?”

       “Well, I just cooked a simple porridge.” Suo Yang said, “I want to let you sleep more.”

       Shen Huiming hugged the person and kissed him passionately, then got up with difficulty.

       He got ready, had a meal, and then let Suo Yang pick out clothes for himself to wear.

       He didn’t go back to his own home last night, and the clothes on his body were the ones he wore when he came back from New York, so he had to change them.

       Suo Yang found Shen Huiming’s shirt and trousers and even brought him a pair of clean underwear.

       Shen Huiming smiled, “Now I’m really all yours from the inside out.”

       “Not wearing my clothes makes me not mine?” Suo Yang leaned against the wall next to him and watched him change his clothes, and said with a smile, “Does it still fit?”

       He asked about the underwear.

       “It’s okay.” Shen Huiming put on his pants, and when he got up, Suo Yang came over to help him put on his shirt.

       Shen Huiming raised his hand, let the other party put on his clothes, and let the other party button him one by one.

       He looked down at Suo Yang who was busy fastening his buttons and couldn’t resist, and wrapped his arms around Suo Yang’s waist.

       “No.” Suo Yang looked down at Shen Huiming’s crotch, “You are going to work.”

       Shen Huiming smiled wryly, “Yeah, I’m too pitiful.”

       Suo Yang buttoned the last button for him and stuffed the shirt into his trousers, “It’s still my day off today, I can wait for you to get off work.”

       What this phrase meant, the two of them tacitly understood.

       “Thank you.” Shen Huiming suppressed a smile, “You are still welcome.”

       Suo Yang raised his eyes to look at him and patted his waist lightly. “Get ready. It’s almost time.”

       From Suo Yang’s place to Shen Huiming’s company, he had to drive for a while. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to go out.

       Suo Yang sent him downstairs, stood in the clean and clear morning sunshine, smiled and waved to him.

       Shen Huiming fastened his seat belt, opened the car window and said to him, “If you’re not doing anything in the afternoon, you can come to my company, and we’ll have dinner together after my meeting.”

       “Okay.” Suo Yang looked at him with a smile in his eyes, “Go on, you will be late because of the traffic jam.”

       “I am the boss.”

       “The boss can’t be late either.”

       The two looked at each other and smiled. Shen Huiming took advantage of the lack of people around and gestured towards Suo Yang with a beckoning motion.

       Suo Yang thought he had something to do, so he bent down and moved closer, but Shen Huiming suddenly put his hand around his neck, leaned over and kissed him.

       “See you in the afternoon.” After taking advantage, Shen Huiming was in a good mood, raised his eyebrows at the blushing Suo Yang, and drove to work.

       Suo Yang stood where he was, watching Shen Huiming’s car disappear into the traffic flow. The sunshine above his head made him feel comfortable and at ease.

       Falling in love is a wonderful thing.

===

       Suo Yang went to Shen Huiming’s company at five o’clock in the afternoon. He received a message from the other party after three o’clock, saying that the meeting ended early and nothing was scheduled after that.

       That was what Shen Huiming said, but Suo Yang still didn’t go there too early. He was very afraid that he would affect the other party’s work routine.

       When he arrived, Shen Huiming’s company hadn’t finished work yet. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he noticed the receptionist at the front desk. The receptionist looked at him and stood up, asking, “Hello, sir. May I ask who you’re looking for?”

       “I’m looking for Shen Huiming.” Suo Yang answered politely.

       As a flight attendant, he had always been able to deal with any situation well, but when facing the employees of Shen Huiming’s company, he actually felt nervous and uncomfortable.

       The serious boss in front of the employees actually held him in bed in the morning. This contrast made Suo Yang feel like he was having an affair with Shen Huiming.

       “May I ask your name?”

       “Surname Suo.”

       “Okay, wait a moment!” The girl at the front desk ran to knock on Shen Huiming’s door, “Mr. Shen, Mr. Suo is looking for you.”

       Shen Huiming just hung up the phone, and when he heard the surname Suo, he knew who it was without guessing.

       When he walked out of the office and walked towards Suo Yang, he couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes.

       “When he comes in the future, just let him come into my office directly.” Shen Huiming told the front desk when he brought Suo Yang back to the room.

       “Okay Mr. Shen.” The girl at the front desk looked at the two of them curiously and then posted in the sisters’ chat group: There is a handsome guy in our company!

Chapter 31 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 16, 2023 / / 1 Comment

Chapter 31

 

In the transport ship of the interstellar pirates, the detainees were all high-ranking Omega students from the Imperial Navy, each of them curled up in the cabin, looking somewhat lost and helpless.

 

Most of these students were captured by the pirates during the evacuation process. Many of them could never forget the moment when the enemy broke through the defense zone, as if blood-red blossoms bloomed right before their eyes, fierce and striking.

 

Amidst the atmosphere of despair, faint sounds were faintly heard, and after a moment, the cabin door opened slightly. At this point, many people didn’t even want to glance at it, feeling numb to yet another unfortunate soul caught on the run.

 

It was evident that another unlucky soul, caught during their escape attempt, had been thrown in. Lu Jingning was pushed into the cabin by the pirates, acting very convincingly as he struggled for a moment before being tossed into a corner.

 

As the footsteps gradually faded away and the cabin door closed again, he stopped his act and turned to look, ensuring that they had all left. A sly smile crept across his lips.

 

It was apparent that this was a special cabin for detaining captives. Besides the smooth walls, there were no additional climbing points inside. The group of Omega students huddled in different corners, looking disheveled and embarrassed.

 

To be honest, Lu Jingning never expected the pirates to have captured so many Omega students. There were probably no less than twenty people on this one ship alone. The entire Imperial Navy had only so many Omega students. It was evident that the pirates had put considerable effort into capturing them, indicating a far more urgent need for energy than he had imagined.

 

Frowning, Lu Jingning pondered while suddenly hearing an incredulous exclamation next to him, “Lu bro? Is that you?”

 

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and when he turned to look, he found himself locking eyes with Ren Jin, who was in the corner. Lu Jingning was also taken aback, “You were captured too?”

 

Ren Jin had blood on him and looked extremely disheveled. His expression was originally dismal, but upon seeing Lu Jingning, his eyes instantly brightened, “Lu bro, are you here to rescue us?”

 

This exclamation made others turn their attention in their direction as well. Gradually, more people recognized Lu Jingning. After all, he was the first Omega to achieve S-class in their prestigious Imperial Navy. He was their pride!

 

Though he was also captured by the interstellar pirates at the moment, Ren Jin’s astonished cry gave a glimmer of hope to the otherwise despairing Omega students.

 

So, was he truly here to save them?

 

*Cough, cough* Lu Jingning felt a bit guilty under their gazes, touched his nose, and looked up at the ceiling, humming, “Well, I guess you can say that.”

 

Actually, strictly speaking, he had no idea that so many people had been captured. His main purpose in coming here was to deal with the pirates. But, in the end, if he successfully dealt with the pirates, it would naturally result in rescuing the others too. So, one could say he was here to save them, right?

 

Upon hearing Lu Jingning’s words, the previously tense atmosphere suddenly livened up. One voice rang out abruptly, “Are we supposed to believe anything he says? We’re all trapped here, fighting for our lives. What can he possibly do to save us?”

 

Lu Jingning looked over and saw an Omega with a gloomy expression, wiping tears as he spoke. Lu Jingning had intended to respond with some retort, but seeing how heartbroken the man looked, he found it hard to say anything, so he chuckled, “Hey, buddy, don’t be so discouraged!”

 

The Omega sobbed twice, his voice still carrying a sobbing tone, “You don’t understand! You don’t know what those interstellar pirates want to do to us! I heard them talking on the way here. Many students were taken up in batches earlier, and by now, they’ve probably been drained dry and left as mere husks. Those interstellar pirates aren’t even human! They’re treating us like fertilizers!”

 

These words sent shivers down the spines of others, and Lu Jingning suddenly caught something. He looked into the man’s eyes and his own eyes lit up, “Do you understand the Pu Star language?”

 

The Omega continued sobbing, “Yes, so what? I’d rather not understand it!”

 

Ignoring his response, Lu Jingning grabbed the man’s hands eagerly, speaking fervently, “Help me out later, okay?”

 

Startled by his sudden actions, the man stopped crying for a moment, “What… what are you planning to do?”

 

Lu Jingning gave him a meaningful smile, “You’ll know when the time comes.”

 

Ren Jin, as the leader of Lu Jingning’s support team, quickly reassured everyone and made sure they would follow Lu Jingning’s commands.

 

After a while, the transport ship began to lift off and, upon stopping again, they found themselves inside the mother ship of the interstellar pirates.

 

As the Omega students were escorted further in, the strong scent of pheromones filled the air, emanating from the pirates. Many Omega students’ faces changed, some even feeling nauseous.

 

Lu Jingning observed the surroundings while mentally noting the route they took.

 

The Omega who understood the Pu Star language was named Jing Yuqi. Though he was unwilling, he was eventually roped in by Lu Jingning to be the translator.

 

As they passed the final door, an overwhelming scent of pheromones assaulted them, making many people’s breathing uncontrollably heavy. They now knew for certain what awaited them.

 

Energy charging in the energy stones temporarily ceased, and the pirates on the transfer platforms began to gather, preparing for their last feast.

 

Jing Yuqi’s face turned pale, knowing there was no hope left. Nonetheless, he couldn’t help but ask Lu Jingning, “You said you were here to save us. Are you serious?”

 

Lu Jingning looked around at the surrounding situation, seeing all the people inside the main cabin almost encircling them. He couldn’t help but show a faint smile, “Of course, I’m serious! It’s time for you to perform!”

 

With that, he briefly explained what Jing Yuqi needed to do.

 

Jing Yuqi was incredulous, “You… you’re serious?”

 

Lu Jingning urged him with a push, “Hurry up! Can’t you see that some of our friends are about to suffer?”

 

Jing Yuqi looked up and saw some people being taken towards the center of the platform. Determination flashed across his eyes, and he clenched his teeth, shouting in the Pu Star language, “Wait!”

 

The interstellar pirates were clearly taken aback by the fact that a student understood their language and looked over in their direction.

 

Under the scrutiny, Jing Yuqi felt his legs go weak, but he mustered his last bit of determination and managed to say, “I-I have a classmate here. He wants to be the first one!”

 

As soon as Jing Yuqi finished speaking, Lu Jingning enthusiastically waved at the pirates, showing a sincere expression, “Me, me, me!”

 

The interstellar pirates hesitated for a moment and looked towards their leaders, seeking confirmation.

 

One of the leaders’ eyes slightly brightened after carefully observing Lu Jingning’s appearance. He smiled and waved, telling his subordinates to bring Lu Jingning up.

 

As the other Omega who had been taken away passed by Lu Jingning, he gave a grateful yet complex look.

 

Lu Jingning stood before the leader, and the greedy gaze lightly drifted over the glands on his neck. His eyelashes drooped slightly as he softly reminded in a not-so-heavy tone, but just enough for Jing Yuqi to hear, “Xiao Jing, did you forget something?”

 

Jing Yuqi returned to his senses and secretly gulped, tremblingly saying in the Pu Star language, “Esteemed pirate brothers, my classmate has a rather special fetish. He thinks that simple pheromone exchange isn’t stimulating enough and wants some… stimulants.”

 

After speaking, Jing Yuqi glanced encouragingly at Lu Jingning and gritted his teeth to add, “He just said the more, the better!”

 

The interstellar pirates were clearly taken aback by this absurd request. The leader-like figure laughed heartily after a brief shock, reaching out to pinch Lu Jingning’s flashy face, telling his subordinates, “Go! Bring out the treasure I’ve cherished for years! Damn, let my buddies enjoy it one last time before they die!”

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t understand their words, but it didn’t stop him from beaming with a brilliant smile.

 

Of course! Such a crucial moment called for some excitement!

 

…

 

At the entrance of Rescue Station C, figures rushed about in haste.

 

Several members of the Imperial Patrol Force stood side by side outside, looking solemn.

 

Wen Xingchen had successfully transmitted the command according to Bing Cang’s instructions, but he never expected that this so-called “XII Plan” would turn out to be a desperate move.

 

Considering the current situation, even if the mobile team managed to enter the mother ship and destroy the energy source, their chances of survival remained close to zero.

 

Kang Hanyun shook his thick curly hair, showing no signs of discouragement. His face instead flickered with excitement, “This mission is so thrilling, I love it!”

 

Wen Yeyu’s tone was calm, “Xingchen, listen to me. After this mission is over, be sure to return home, alright?”

 

These words carried an air of parting, causing Wen Xingchen to furrow his brow, “We’ll return home together.”

 

Wen Yeyu looked up at the interstellar pirate mother ship in the sky, his tone still placid, “That’s good. Then, wait for me to come back.”

 

As Wen Xingchen watched his brother’s profile, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a heated argument not far away.

 

You Zeyang had just been rescued from the ruins, lying on a stretcher with almost no strength left in him, yet his voice was still alarmingly loud, “I’ve said it, a large group of Omega students were taken by the pirates. We must send people to rescue them quickly!”

 

The members of the rescue team diligently attended to his injuries, and while reluctant, they had to explain the truth, “Sorry, it’s not that we don’t want to save them, but when we went, it was already too late. Those Omega students had been sent to the mother ship by the interstellar pirates, and they might already…”

 

“Too late? How could it be too late?!” You Zeyang was about to explode right there on the stretcher. His eyes glared intensely at them, teeth clenched, “Just a moment ago, there was a damn Omega, self-proclaimed S-class, dealing with them. How could it be too late in such a short time?!”

 

The rescue team was left speechless by his questioning, their expressions filled with emotion.

 

As You Zeyang was about to lose control again, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

 

Wen Xingchen’s voice was slightly grave, “What’s the name of the Omega you’re talking about?”

 

You Zeyang was caught off guard by his gaze, but after a moment, he recognized him. He tightly clenched his fist and said, “The Omega who’s in such a hurry to die can only be that Lu Jingning, the one who came with you last time. Who else could it be?!”

 

Wen Yeyu noticed the unusual situation and followed up with a question, “What happened?”

 

Wen Xingchen didn’t answer, after a moment of silence, he squeezed out a sentence with tightly pursed lips, “Brother, I’m going to join the XII Plan!”

Chapter 99

August 15, 2023 / / 2 Comments

       Guan Anlin spent nearly 20 days in the hospital before his body gradually recovered from his injury. Later, when he was able to get out of bed on his own, Chen Yuncheng no longer stayed in the hospital all the time, but went back to the trade market from time to time to handle the work in the store, and came to accompany him at night.

       Because Chen Yuncheng stayed in the hospital with Guan Anlin for such a long time, Ning Junyan could only go home alone when he wasn’t working the night shift. And so as the time goes by, Guan Anlin became more and more disliked. When he checked on Guan Anlin in the morning, he looked at him with a cold gaze.

       Guan Anlin was scared and felt wronged, thinking that he didn’t do it on purpose, and besides, he also wanted to be discharged from the hospital early.

       That afternoon, Chen Yuncheng rushed back from the market before dinner to the hospital. As soon as he walked to the door of the ward, he saw the door of the ward open from the inside, and a man and a woman came out. Among them, the young woman was Yu Jie’s daughter Yu Mingli.

       Yu Mingli had met Chen Yuncheng once at Shu Rong’s place before, and Chen Yuncheng actually leave a deep impression on her. At this moment, she stopped and nodded at Chen Yuncheng.

       Although what Yu Jie did could not be blamed on his daughter, Chen Yuncheng still had a hard time liking Yu Mingli, so he just nodded, stepped aside to open the door, and saw Yu Mingli leaving with the middle-aged man in a suit.

       Then Chen Yuncheng went into the ward and saw Guan Anlin sitting by the bed, looking at something. He then asked Guan Anlin, “Yu Jie’s daughter is here to see you?”

       Guan Anlin raised his head, “Yes.”

       Chen Yuncheng asked, “For what?”

       Guan Anlin handed him the paper in his hand, Chen Yuncheng took it and saw that it was a printed Letter of Understanding1A Letter of Understanding (LOU) is a formal text that sums up the terms of an undertaking of a contract which may have been negotiated up to this point only in spoken form or otherwise informally. In this case, this is the draft of the reconciliation letter to say that Guan Anlin will take back his report, written in Guan Anlin’s style, to show that he believed that Yu Jie did not do it on purpose, accepted the compensation, and expressed his understanding for Yu Jie’s behaviour. However, there was no signature in the lower right corner.

       After Chen Yuncheng finished reading, he looked up at Guan Anlin and saw that Guan Anlin was already lying down on the hospital bed with his arms resting behind his head lazily, so he asked, “How much is she going to compensate you?”

       Guan Anlin said, “Three hundred thousand2around $43,5k.”

       Chen Yuncheng slapped the letter of understanding on Guan Anlin’s face, “Are they crazy?!”

       Guan Anlin stretched out his hand to take it off, laughed out loud, and said, “I said the same thing, and then I told her to go back and get three million3$435k4, and to delete the sentence of believing that Yu Jie didn’t do it on purpose, and I would sign the understanding for them.”

       “Don’t sign,” Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help being angry when he thought of this matter, “Don’t sign for any amount of money, tell them to get out.”

       Guan Anlin folded the paper in his hand a few times, and threw it into the drawer of the bedside table, “They definitely won’t give out three million, and I don’t plan to sign it. Even if they can’t sentence Yu Jie to death, let’s let him sit in jail until he’s old!”

       As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and Ning Junyan walked in from the outside.

       It was already the end of the afternoon. Ning Junyan changed his clothes, stood beside Guan Anlin’s hospital bed, and asked Chen Yuncheng, “Are you coming back with me?”

       “I won’t go back,” Chen Yuncheng said, “I’m still worried about leaving him alone.”

       Guan Anlin suddenly felt that it was difficult to face Ning Junyan, so he turned his eyes away from him, and only said to Chen Yuncheng, “Actually, I don’t have anything to do, so I can do it alone at night.”

       Before Chen Yuncheng could speak, Ning Junyan said coldly, “I hired a nurse for him.”

       After he finished speaking, Ning Jun took two steps forward slowly, looked down at Guan Anlin who was lying on the bed, and said, “He can move around on his own, and he can call the doctor if he has anything to do. The purpose of hiring a nurse is just to prevent unexpected situations.”

       Guan Anlin felt a sense of oppression, and quickly said to Chen Yuncheng, “I think it’s completely okay, you should go home quickly, and you should also have a good rest.”

       Chen Yuncheng suddenly heard Ning Junyan say, “Let’s have dinner with my parents tonight.” He looked up in surprise.

       There was no expression on Ning Junyan’s face, he only said, “I’ve already made an appointment.”

       Chen Yuncheng took a deep breath and said to Guan Anlin, “Call me if you need anything.”

       He stayed in the ward for a while and waited for the nurse to call Guan Anlin for dinner before leaving with Ning Junyan.

       They went to the underground parking lot to pick up the car, Chen Yuncheng got into the passenger seat and suddenly felt a little nervous. He said to Ning Junyan, “Why didn’t you say so in advance, I could at least change my clothes.”

       Ning Junyan started the car and glanced at him, “It’s finally. Originally, it was my mother who called me, so I made an impromptu appointment.”

       “The dinner…what are you planning to say?”

       Ning Junyan said, “You can say whatever you want, anyway, I’m here, so what are you afraid of?”

       When he heard this, Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help but lower his head and smiled.

       The dinner appointment was outside, and Ning Junyan booked a small private room in a Chinese restaurant. Inside was a small round table, but only four seats were reserved.

       When they arrived, Shu Rong and Ning Zhanghong had already arrived.

       When Chen Yuncheng saw Ning Zhanghong, he asked him how his body was recovering recently. Ning Zhanghong was also very polite, shook hands with Chen Yuncheng, and said that there was nothing wrong with his health.

       His complexion did look much better than before.

       Shu Rong stood by and did not speak.

       Chen Yuncheng took the initiative to greet her, “Auntie.”

       She nodded and said, “Hello.”

       The four sat down and waited for the food to be served. At this time, the waiters came in and out, and no one in the private room spoke. The atmosphere seemed somewhat awkward, so Ning Zhanghong took the initiative to ask Ning Junyan a few things about work.

       When the dishes were almost served, the waiter withdrew and closed the door of the private room, and the room became quiet again.

       Ning Junyan asked Shu Rong, “Did Yu Mingli bring her lawyer to you this morning?”

       Chen Yuncheng put down his chopsticks and looked up at Shu Rong.

       Shu Rong still looked the same as usual, with exquisite makeup, and her hair carefully tidied and combed behind her head. She looked at Ning Junyan and said, “Yes.”

       “You already knew that Wang Yongcheng had been arrested, didn’t you?” Ning Junyan asked again.

       Shu Rong replied, “The police notified me very early.”

       At this moment, Chen Yuncheng suddenly said, “My brother tracked him down and secretly filmed him, and then told the police.” He didn’t care too much about Shu Rong’s attitude towards him, but when he thought of the way Shu Rong looked at Guan Anlin, made him feel uncomfortable in his heart.

       Shu Rong’s eyes turned to Chen Yuncheng, and said slowly, “I heard about it.”

       After she finished speaking, Ning Zhanghong said, “Thank him for us.”

       “Is this the attitude of you expressing gratitude?” Ning Junyan leaned back in his chair. Today, he ordered a table of dishes, but now most of them had not been touched. It seems that no one was in the mood to eat. The person is still lying in the hospital, you guys don’t even have the sincerity to visit, just a few empty words of thanks and that’s it?”

       Shu Rong frowned and looked at Ning Junyan.

       Ning Junyan continued without waiting for her to speak, “Yu Mingli came to you to talk about compensation? How much does she want to compensate you on behalf of Yu Jie?”

       Shu Rong said, “She is willing to assist us with the rent we lost on behalf of her father.”

       Ning Junyan nodded, “This is also what Guan Anlin almost lost his life in exchange for.”

       Shu Rong was used to being reserved, so she couldn’t speak for a while, so Ning Zhanghong said to Chen Yuncheng on his behalf, “Yuncheng, thank you for what happened this time. We will visit him in the hospital tomorrow. If there is anything you need, please feel free to mention it.”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head when he heard the words, “Uncle and aunt, I didn’t come here today to ask you to thank you.”

       Shu Rong looked at him, “Then what else do you want?”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head again, “Auntie, have you considered your relationship with Junyan?”

       “We are mother and son, what other relationship do we need?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “It’s not enough to be mother and child by blood. Emotions are a two-way street. If you don’t have feelings for him, how can you expect him to have feelings for you?”

       Shu Rong seemed a little angry, “How can I feel nothing for him?”

       Chen Yuncheng thought for a while and said, “I believe you have feelings for him, but feelings need to be expressed and given, not just unilaterally asked for. Those requests you made to him are a sign of your love for yourself, not a sign of love for him!”

       He rarely said these things to others, and he never felt that he knew more than others, so after he finished speaking, he looked at Ning Junyan with some uncertainty.

       Ning Junyan held his hand, right on the dining table, without avoiding anyone.

       Both Shu Rong and Ning Zhanghong looked at their interlocked hands.

       Chen Yuncheng felt the warmth of Ning Junyan’s palm and felt the strength to continue, “I didn’t come to see you today to ask you to thank me or my brother, or even ask you to accept me and Ning Junyan. I just want to tell you, if you really love Junyan, then treat him better, and let him feel your love for him, don’t say things like breaking off the relationship so easily, every affection doesn’t come easily and others can’t even ask for it if they want to.

       As he said this, Chen Yuncheng paused briefly, took a deep breath and continued, “If you are not going to love him, then I regret pushing him away back then. Give him back to me, and I will love him.”

       After he finished the last few words, Ning Junyan’s grip on his hand steeply tightened.

       Both Shu Rong and Ning Zhanghong were in a daze for a moment. It had been more than ten years, and the almost completely forgotten image suddenly reappeared in front of their eyes. Ning Junyan who was holding Chen Yun Cheng tightly and wouldn’t let go, and Ning Junyan who was pushed away by Chen Yuncheng with great force.

       In the past so many years, the person Ning Junyan wanted to hug the most was still the same person, and it hadn’t changed from beginning to end.

       Shu Rong and Ning Zhanghong left before the entire table had been finished.

       Chen Yuncheng insisted on packing the food, and Ning Junyan stayed with him to watch the waiter pack the food in the same box.

       Ning Junyan said, “We can’t finish the food even if we pack it back.”

       Chen Yuncheng complained to him, “Who told you to order so many?”

       Ning Junyan told him, “It’s a side dish in the private room.” He didn’t have the patience to order dishes one by one himself.

       Chen Yuncheng said, “Bring it to the hospital tomorrow for Guan Anlin to eat.”

       They each carried a few plastic bags out of the restaurant, walked to the parking lot and put all the plastic bags containing the food boxes in the back row.

       When Chen Yuncheng wanted to open the passenger door to get in the car, Ning Junyan put his hands on the door, trapping him between his arms.

       “What’s the matter?” Chen Yuncheng turned around to face him.

       Ning Junyan moved closer to his forehead and said, “Say that sentence from today again.”

       Chen Yuncheng pretended not to understand, “Which sentence?”

       “The one you told my mother.”

       Chen Yuncheng suddenly felt embarrassed, the distance between the two of them was too close, he lowered his gaze to look at Ning Junyan’s lips, and whispered, “The one about asking her to give you back to me?”

       Ning Junyan let out an “En” and urged him, “There’s more.”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “I will love you.”

       Ning Junyan was satisfied, and pecked his lips, “Let’s hurry back, I will love you so much.”

Chapter 30 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 15, 2023 / / 1 Comment

Chapter 30

 

At the command center.

 

After Wen Xingchen finished relaying the intelligence, everyone in the room fell into silence. In such an atmosphere, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows and speculate, “So, it was indeed known a long ago, right?”

 

Several high-ranking officials exchanged glances and wore bitter smiles. Indeed, they had already discovered the true intentions of those interstellar pirates, but what could they do after discovering it?

 

With their current forces, they could barely maintain stability on the battlefield, let alone stop such a powerful self-destructive energy release. The interstellar pirates were clearly bent on mutual destruction with the Imperial Navy!

 

The head of the academic affairs, Zhu Zhai, briskly entered the command center and went straight to the side of Bing Cang. He said with a stern expression, “Principal, the airship outside is ready. Please leave quickly!”

 

Wen Xingchen lowered his eyes slightly, his expression was indifferent. It was evident that the military had probably already decided to abandon the base under such dire circumstances.

 

However, Bing Cang seemed to have not heard anything and remained standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Imperial Navy deeply embroiled in the war. A fierce fire glimmered in his eyes.

 

After a moment, he sighed deeply and said, “Zhu Zhai, take the others and leave. Take as many as you can.”

 

Zhu Zhai’s body trembled slightly upon hearing this, but he gritted his teeth and raised his voice again, “Principal, please leave quickly!”

 

“Bing Cang, this is an order!” Bing Cang turned around, looking at Zhu Zhai calmly, “No matter how the battle situation is now, someone must stay behind. And that person can only be me! The Imperial Navy is my lifelong dedication. Now, I must accompany those children to face the final outcome. But you are different, you are still young, and your path ahead is long. If this place becomes a ruin after today, then the mission of rebuilding the Imperial Navy will be left to you, understood?”

 

“Principal…” Zhu Zhai’s eyes were filled with emotions as he choked on his words for a moment. Finally, with tears in his eyes, he showed determination and said, “The others, follow me!”

 

Tears welled up in everyone’s eyes, and the hunched back of the old principal, at this moment, seemed remarkably tall and steadfast.

 

Their steps hesitated for a moment, and then they all stopped and turned around, facing the old man with white hair, giving a respectful military salute. “Principal, take care!”

 

Bing Cang’s lips curved into a faint smile, waving his hand at them as if it were a casual farewell during regular dismissals. “Alright, go now.”

 

Such an attitude made it seem as ordinary and natural as when he bid farewell to others during their regular meetings.

 

Wen Xingchen stood amidst the solemn atmosphere, a hint of complex emotions flickering in his eyes.

 

Inside the room, everyone had already left one after another. Bing Cang turned around and saw Wen Xingchen still standing there. He looked surprised and asked, “Wen’s kid, why aren’t you leaving with them?”

 

Wen Xingchen glanced at the intense artillery battle in the sky and asked in return, “Now that everyone is gone, how are we supposed to continue the fight?”

 

Bing Cang was unexpectedly choked for a moment, but he laughed. “This year’s freshmen are truly more interesting than the last.”

 

Seeing Wen Xingchen’s resolute expression, he didn’t insist and smiled warmly as he patted his shoulder. “Perfect. Communications are down, and I do need someone to deliver a message for me. Contact the Imperial Patrol Unit and tell them to prepare for Operation XII.”

 

Wen Xingchen didn’t inquire about the specific details of “Operation XII” and simply nodded calmly. “I promise to complete the mission.”

 

Bing Cang was very pleased with his attitude and smiled amiably. “Go then.”

 

Wen Xingchen quickly left, but when he reached the door, he subconsciously looked back.

 

The old principal’s weathered figure stood alone in the spacious command center, with the countless artillery battles forming the grandest backdrop, yet like the eternal, tall, and unwavering pillar of the Imperial Navy, giving people an inexplicable sense of reassurance.

 

He took a deep breath and closed the door with force.

 

…

 

At this time and place, the relatively stable battle zone had prepared numerous airships for evacuation. Unfortunately, the number of students in the academy was simply too large, and no matter how many evacuation fleets there were, it was still a drop in the bucket.

 

The entire Imperial Navy had long become a hell in the midst of the war. The areas with more intense clashes couldn’t send teams to assist in evacuation; they could only helplessly leave those students to fend for themselves.

 

At this moment, Lu Jingning was heading towards Zone 23 of the antiaircraft defense, which was now a desolate battlefield covered with debris.

 

As he quickly moved forward, he observed the surrounding situation attentively. Along the way, he inevitably encountered several patrolling interstellar pirates. He easily took care of the smaller groups, and discreetly avoided the larger ones.

 

From what he observed along the way, it was apparent that these interstellar pirates were trying to turn this area into an independent base at the Imperial Navy because of the presence of Omega students, who were already rare in a military academy like this.

 

Everyone knew that the Pruxians had a unique obsession with Omega pheromones, which was essentially their most potent source of energy. 

 

Observing along the way, Lu Jingning could see that batches of Omega students were being captured by the interstellar pirates. The situation confirmed his judgment.

 

The interstellar mothership’s powerful cannons led to significant energy consumption for the Pruxians themselves. To achieve faster charging, they needed a large number of Omega students to supply pheromones. For them, these Omega students were not just for fulfilling their sexual desires; it was primarily to restore their energy.

 

As he approached Zone 23, more Omega strike teams appeared in his field of vision. Lu Jingning halted his steps after a while.

 

From this distance, he could see that Zone 23 had already been completely evacuated, and the scene was extremely tragic.

 

It seemed that the Omega students had either fled or been captured, and there was no trace of them left.

 

Looking up at the interstellar mothership above, he furrowed his brows slightly.

 

He did have the intention of sneaking on board the mothership to have a look, but it seemed he needed to wait for the right moment!

 

While pondering, he suddenly heard the sound of intense fighting.

 

Lu Jingning blinked and followed the sound, and soon, he saw several fleeing Omega students, with an Alpha protecting them.

 

Looking more closely, he couldn’t help but smile.

 

Oh, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

 

However, the person he knew as You Zeyang had lost his usual arrogance. Covered in blood-stained clothes, he looked extremely disheveled. Despite still wielding a laser sword in his right hand, his left arm occasionally oozed sticky blood, showing that he was seriously injured.

 

Several Omega students he was protecting were also desperately fleeing, but the pursuing interstellar pirates were relentless. After a long battle, both You Zeyang and the Omega students were clearly reaching their limits.

 

You Zeyang had escorted five batches of Omega students by now, and they were discovered in the ruins not far from the antiaircraft defense zone. They could have completed the evacuation mission again, but they were intercepted by the interstellar pirate patrol on their way.

 

An eight-person team was reduced to three by his hand, and now, five of them were relentlessly chased by the remaining five interstellar pirates.

 

After a whole day of fighting, You Zeyang’s stamina had long reached its limit. With bloodshot eyes, he stared at the interstellar pirates pursuing from behind, panting as he quietly instructed the Omega students, “I’ll find a way to hold them back. You guys find a chance to escape to the west where our support team is. Remember, don’t stop on the way, understand?”

 

The Omega students suppressed their tears and choked, “Understood! But, senior, what about you? They’ll really kill you!”

 

You Zeyang impatiently spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered, “What are you afraid of? If I get killed, it’ll still be heroic! You guys run, and my mission is to help you evacuate safely. Should I just cowardly run away alone? That’s downright disgraceful!”

 

The Omega students listened to his words and fiercely wiped away the tears at the corner of their eyes, forcing themselves to suppress their doubts. “Rest assured, senior, we’ll do whatever it takes to escape!”

 

Yu Zeyang smiled satisfactorily. “That’s the spirit of the top students in the Imperial Navy!”

 

With a determined expression, he faced the approaching space pirates and took a deep breath. In the moment of counterattack, he shouted, “Now! Run!”

 

The Omega students, relying on all their strength, moved decisively forward as Yu Zeyang intercepted the pirates.

 

The pirates were already annoyed by Yu Zeyang’s interference. They watched as the Omega students suddenly went mad and ran wildly. It took them a moment to react, and they showed a hint of murderous intent when they saw the bloody Alpha student standing before them.

 

Facing their hostility, Yu Zeyang remained unafraid and even smiled. “Stop staring, you won’t catch up with them!”

 

With a laser sword in hand, he exerted his last bit of energy, his expression becoming more relaxed despite the multiple wounds and bloodshed.

 

Gradually, Yu Zeyang’s movements inevitably slowed down. After parrying the final attack from the pirates, he finally fell heavily to the ground.

 

Gasping for breath, he held onto the laser sword for support. As the pirates closed in step by step, a mocking smile appeared on his lips. It was time to end this.

 

In the moment when the crimson beam flashed before his eyes, he had already prepared himself for death. However, to his surprise, he felt no pain. Instead, he heard the desperate screams of the pirates.

 

Confused, Yu Zeyang looked up and saw a figure moving like a ghost through the bloodstained scene. He couldn’t see clearly what weapon the person held, but it seemed that with each strike, the pirates fell to the ground.

 

Soon, silence enveloped the area. When he regained his senses, the person had already walked over to him with a smile. “Ah, Vice President, you owe me a huge favor now, you know?”

 

Yu Zeyang felt that the voice was incredibly familiar. It wasn’t until later that he realized, amidst all the blood, that it was Lu Jingning’s overly exuberant face.

 

Feeling weak, Yu Zeyang was about to collapse, but Lu Jingning caught him and lifted him onto his shoulder. While dragging Yu Zeyang away, Lu Jingning continued talking, “You don’t need to thank me too much. If it weren’t for your protection of your classmates, I might not have bothered to intervene. I’ve always disliked you, and I’d have enjoyed seeing those pirates cut you down!”

 

At this moment, Yu Zeyang finally managed to gasp for breath and muttered, “Why… are you here?”

 

Lu Jingning glanced at him and shrugged. “Who knows?”

 

Yu Zeyang: “…”

 

Even at this time, this guy was still as annoying as ever!

 

Yu Zeyang didn’t have the strength to argue back and closed his mouth tightly, trying not to get agitated. He leaned on Lu Jingning’s shoulder, catching his breath heavily.

 

However, Lu Jingning seemed to have no intention of letting him rest and continued teasing, “I thought you were so fierce, but you turned out to be so weak against the pirates. I easily handled them with a stick. Aren’t you embarrassed to be chased by them for so long?”

 

He laughed, “Look at you now, in such a miserable state. I have to say, after I save you, your heroic deed will be known throughout the entire Mech Society. Maybe then you won’t look down on Omegas anymore. Isn’t it great to have a life-saving benefactor?”

 

Yu Zeyang: “…”

 

He felt that if the pirates didn’t kill him, this annoying little guy would probably do it for them.

 

After finally catching his breath, Yu Zeyang was ready to retort, but Lu Jingning suddenly stopped talking and gestured for him to be quiet. “Someone’s coming!”

 

After a while, a group of about twelve space pirates appeared in the distance. They were speaking in the common Star language, which Yu Zeyang understood a little, but his weakened state and lack of pheromone energy made it impossible for him to concentrate on gathering intelligence.

 

However, Lu Jingning seemed to be fully immersed in his role. He acted weak and helpless, crying out in a frightened voice, “Ahh! I’m so scared! I can’t fight, and I’m really weak! Please, don’t kill me! Please don’t capture me! Sob, sob, I’m really scared. Let me go, I don’t want to be captured by you!”

 

The pirates were taken aback by this unexpected turn of events.

 

While Yu Zeyang was dumbfounded by the sudden change in the situation, Lu Jingning had managed to draw their attention away from him completely.

 

Taking advantage of the distraction, Lu Jingning skillfully manipulated the situation, and before long, the pirates had fallen into his trap. They were now eager to capture the “vulnerable” Omega.

 

Yu Zeyang watched as Lu Jingning lured the pirates away, leaving him bound and gagged, but he couldn’t help but feel impressed by the guy’s resourcefulness.

 

Left alone, he could only wait and hope for a rescue team to find him soon. With his current state, surviving until then would be a test of fate.

 

As he contemplated his situation, he couldn’t help but marvel at Lu Jingning’s acting skills, making him almost forget the dangerous predicament they were in.

Chapter 29 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 14, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Chapter 29

 

After clarifying the specific situation with Yu Qingcang, Lu Jingning ended the communication. Seizing the opportunity while no one was paying attention, he pulled Yan Hebin aside and asked in a hushed voice, “Yan, do you remember the terrain near Building E on the west side of our school?”

 

Yan Hebin didn’t understand why he suddenly asked this but nodded hesitantly, “Yes, what’s the matter?”

 

Lu Jingning was overjoyed and quickly set up a temporary modeling system on his terminal to create a simple representation. He asked, “Look, if we get trapped in this area, is there a way we can evacuate through another route?”

 

Yan Hebin glanced at him and casually adjusted the virtual model, pointing to the left, “Building E is linked to the adjacent Building F through an aerial platform system that is not used much, so it’s easily overlooked. But if the routes on the upper and lower levels are blocked, we should be able to escape through this system. However, there’s one thing, the floating platform is usually retracted at the top of Building F. I’ve only heard about it and I’m not sure how to activate it.”

 

Lu Jingning exclaimed, “That’s enough! Thanks, buddy!”

 

Yan Hebin noticed Lu Jingning’s eager expression and vaguely sensed that something was off, “What’s going on? Are you planning to go out?”

 

Lu Jingning feigned a worried look and spread his hands, “I have no choice; my son is trapped outside, and I have to go out and find him.”

 

Yan Hebin was speechless, “Son?”

 

Lu Jingning continued, “A big, tall, and foolish son. If he survives this ordeal, I’ll introduce him to you!”

 

Yan Hebin’s lips twitched slightly, “No thanks.”

 

Realizing it was not the time for idle chatter, Lu Jingning didn’t say much and glanced at where An Huo was. He then pulled Yan Hebin’s shoulder and said, “One more thing, could you help me with something?”

 

Yan Hebin replied, “Hmm?”

 

For some reason, he had an intuitive feeling that this wasn’t going to be something good.

 

Due to An Huo’s vigilance at the entrance, it was impossible for Lu Jingning to leave in such a conspicuous manner. Even if he came up with a compelling reason to go out, they wouldn’t allow a freshman to take risks at such a critical moment.

 

Thus, he had to sincerely implore Yan Hebin for help.

 

Yan Hebin owed Lu Jingning a significant favor from their previous incident involving the Mecha Club. Being someone who repaid kindness, he found himself unable to refuse, even though he wore a strange expression. He walked over and tried to divert the attention of a certain senior sister.

 

When An Huo saw Yan Hebin suddenly approaching, she felt something was off, “What’s the matter, junior brother? Do you need anything?”

 

With one eye on Lu Jingning’s location, he received a signal from the other party and suddenly cleared his throat, struggling to force out a seductive tone, “Senior sister, are you interested in my pheromones?”

 

Such words were full of allurement and, under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn’t have dared to say them out loud.

 

An Huo clearly didn’t expect him to make such a move and was momentarily stunned, “Huh?”

 

Yan Hebin’s face was almost burning, but it had come to this point, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet, “What I mean is, senior sister, how do you feel about me?”

 

This time, An Huo couldn’t even utter an “ah.”

 

Though Lu Jingning had improvised this technique in a playful manner, he couldn’t help but chuckle at Yan Hebin’s iceberg-like allure. After seeing his successful reaction, he took advantage of An Huo’s momentary confusion and, in a flash, slipped away through a side door.

 

As he left the airspace, the deafening sounds of explosions outside became clearer. Lu Jingning, now acting alone, reduced his target size compared to when they were in a group. After a few glances at the sky, he quickly assessed the current distribution of enemy firepower.

 

Taking a deep breath, he concentrated his psychic energy and enhanced his leg strength, then moved with incredible speed.

 

Lu Jingning’s movement speed was impressive, and in no time, he was close to the E building, where Yu Qingcang and the others were being held captive.

 

As described earlier, the lower half of the building was riddled with bullet holes, and the upper section was engulfed in raging flames, looking like it could collapse at any moment.

 

The only silver lining was that the battle had shifted towards another direction due to the intense fighting, leaving some space for future actions.

 

Lu Jingning didn’t focus on the E building and turned around, heading directly for the relatively intact F building.

 

The aerial platform Yan Hebin had mentioned, capable of accommodating hundreds of people, was docked quietly on the rooftop of the F building. Previously, it was mainly used for leadership inspections and visits, and no one would have thought that it would be used for a rescue operation one day.

 

The plan seemed foolproof, but sometimes things didn’t go as expected. When Lu Jingning reached the top floor, he was unexpectedly stumped by an AI intelligent password command.

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t help but be speechless, “AI, can’t you be more accommodating? This is a life-and-death situation!”

 

The AI intelligence was as unyielding as ever, “To activate the rescue platform, please connect to the fire system within the building. It’s not under my jurisdiction.”

 

Lu Jingning gritted his teeth, “Do you believe I’ll dismantle you after this?”

 

The AI intelligence responded, “If threats worked, we wouldn’t need the interstellar police. You’re too naive.”

 

Lu Jingning exclaimed, “Damn it!”

 

He resisted the urge to dismantle the stubborn AI on the spot and was pondering whether such actions would be effective against the AI. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him.

 

When he turned around, he found himself face to face with Wen Xingchen.

 

Both of them were taken aback for a moment before almost simultaneously asking, “What are you doing here?”

 

The sudden air raid left no time for them to worry about others’ situations, or it might be more accurate to say that, in such a life and death situation, it was a blessing to ensure their own safety, let alone concerning themselves with others. So, if Yu Qingcang hadn’t contacted them to say goodbye, Lu Jingning probably wouldn’t have considered contacting anyone at all.

 

However, now that they ran into each other face to face, it was a different situation.

 

In the next moment, they almost simultaneously asked, “Anyone injured?”

 

The question slipped out, and Lu Jingning couldn’t help but laugh, “Alright, alright, the injured won’t come running here.”

 

Seeing Yan Hebin’s soaked clothes, he gestured to him, “So, are you here for the same thing?”

 

Wen Xingchen nodded, “Jian Luan is trapped. I came to check on him.”

 

Lu Jingning didn’t know what to say. Both Yu Qingcang and Jian Luan were troublesome characters, and he admired Wen Xingchen for worrying about them like this, just like he did with

his father.

 

Unfortunately, both of them were Alphas; otherwise, it would have been quite fitting to have a story of destined love or something like that.

 

As he had these thoughts, he casually asked, “You got the password then? This AI is a blockhead and won’t allow any exceptions without a password.”

 

The AI intelligence chimed in, “You’re pig headed too!”

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t bear it anymore, “Do you think I won’t dismantle you?!”

 

AI intelligence retorted, “If threats were effective, there wouldn’t be any need for interstellar police. You’re too naive.”

 

Lu Jingning grumbled, “Ugh!”

 

Seeing him argue with the AI at a time like this, Wen Xingchen couldn’t help but be in awe of his courage. He lightly patted Lu Jingning’s shoulder to signal him to move aside and then entered a series of codes on the nearby panel.

 

AI intelligence responded, “Welcome to activate the Sky Platform System, which will provide you with an entirely new sightseeing experience. I wish you a pleasant journey.”

 

Lu Jingning was stunned, “How did you get the password?”

 

Wen Xingchen had already stepped into the platform and looked back, “Aren’t you coming?”

 

Lu Jingning, seeing his outstretched hand, smiled slightly and unceremoniously accepted the offer, jumping up alongside him, “Lao Wen, you’re reliable!”

 

As the two of them operated the aerial platform, it descended onto the connecting platform of Building E. The teachers and students who had escaped death were overcome with tears of joy.

Many people inevitably got injured during their escape, but at this moment, a new glimmer of hope appeared on their previously lifeless faces.

 

When Yu Qingcang saw Lu Jingning, he rushed over wailing and tightly embraced him, “Daddy Lu, you really came!”

 

Lu Jingning struggled to break free from the bear hug, nearly passing out from the pressure, but seeing Yu Qingcang’s lively appearance brought joy to his heart. He patted his shoulder heavily and said, “Good son, when we get back, I want to eat braised pig’s trotters!”

 

Yu Qingcang ingratiated himself, “Sure, I’ll prepare a potful for you!”

 

After everyone successfully transferred to the platform, they began their slow return along the original route.

 

Beyond the transparent barrier, fires raged, and deafening explosions filled the air. Gradually, the jubilant atmosphere gave way to silence.

 

As they witnessed the scene of fiery warfare, they couldn’t help but fall into a state of contemplation.

 

Lu Jingning leaned against the transparent barrier, his gaze fixed on the mother ship in the sky. For a long time, he remained silent.

 

From this angle, the view was vastly different from observing under the anti-air zone. The perspective was now lateral, magnifying the details several times. He could even discern the faint blue energy beams gathering at the bottom of the mother ship, as if… as if they were charging up!

 

A sudden realization flashed in Lu Jingning’s mind, causing his blood to momentarily freeze. At that moment, an undeniable sense of coldness washed over him.

 

Wen Xingchen noticed his abnormality and looked over, his tone surprisingly calm, “It seems you’ve noticed too.”

 

When Lu Jingning turned to meet his gaze, he saw the same shock in Wen Xingchen’s eyes.

 

Noticing the glance from Yu Qingcang beside them, Lu Jingning calmed down, “Can you contact the command center?”

 

If they managed to obtain the password for the aerial platform, it meant Wen Xingchen had at least communicated with the mid-to-high level management.

 

Wen Xingchen nodded, “I can try.”

 

As Yu Qingcang was bewildered by their cryptic conversation, his recent experience left him still feeling dizzy, making him uninterested in probing further. Some matters were best left for these two bigshots to handle, and he didn’t want to get involved needlessly.

 

After descending from the aerial platform, the medical team, who had received prior notice, was already waiting below, efficiently conducting the safe transfer.

 

Relieved to see things settled, Lu Jingning sighed in relief. However, his relief was short-lived as Wen Xingchen approached with a serious expression. Lu Jingning couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

 

Wen Xingchen furrowed his brows slightly, “Communications have been jammed since a moment ago, most likely due to interference.”

 

Lu Jingning glanced at his communicator and confirmed that he could no longer receive any signals.

 

It seemed that the enemy had entered the final phase of their preparations.

 

Wen Xingchen asked, “I’m going to the central command. Are you coming with me?”

 

Lu Jingning thought for a moment, “I’ll stay here.”

 

His response was indeed unusual, and Wen Xingchen looked at him with suspicion, “What do you plan to do?”

 

Lu Jingning stared back at him with a strange expression, “What can I do?”

 

“Better that way,” Wen Xingchen assessed his demeanor, still uneasy, and before leaving, he reminded, “I’ll be right back. Wait for me in the safe zone.”

 

“Hurry back!” Lu Jingning waved him off, watching Wen Xingchen’s figure receding into the distance. Finally, he couldn’t help but raise an intriguing smile, murmuring, “What’s there to wait for? Naive! Of course, I have my own plan!”

 

In reality, he didn’t think that the intelligence even the two of them, as school students, could uncover would have gone unnoticed by the command center’s experienced personnel. However, informing them was still a necessary precaution.

 

On the other hand, if the military had indeed noticed the enemy’s intentions but still refrained from taking action, it indicated a high possibility that they were unsure how to handle the situation.

 

The blue energy level’s charging had already reached a considerable magnitude, and in terms of destructiveness, a single explosive discharge could easily obliterate ten Imperial Navy fleets.

 

Given the ad hoc composition of the operation and their current control over the battlefield, successfully intercepting such a self-destructive energy source would be virtually impossible.

 

Lu Jingning had heard countless stories of heroes, but he never considered dying young. His father was still waiting for him to pay his respects back home; he couldn’t just give up so easily.

 

Thus, in the face of the uncertainty surrounding the school and military authorities, he could only contemplate executing his own little plan.

 

Looking around, he casually grabbed a member of the medical team and asked, “Excuse me, do you know where the Omega students from the dormitory building were relocated to?”

 

After a moment’s thought, the person pointed in a direction, “You mean those Omegas? They were sent to the No. 23 anti-air zone over there, I believe.”

 

Lu Jingning glanced in that direction.

 

As expected, the view revealed a tumultuous scene of fire and explosions.

 

For some reason, the interstellar pirates seemed particularly interested in that area. Numerous mini-bomber planes hovered above, heavily guarded. They had seemingly taken full control of the vicinity.

 

A knowing smile formed on Lu Jingning’s lips as he murmured with great interest, “So it’s the Pruxians, huh? Quite the fascinating hobby they have…”

Chapter 51

August 13, 2023 / / 2 Comments

       Jiang Tongyan could tell that these two people, mainly Shen Huiming, came here to show off.

       The thousand-year-old iron tree had blossomed and after thirty years, finally fell in love and showed off its stench.

       Jiang Tongyan rolled his sour eyes at the two of them, waved his hand and left.

       Shen Huiming called him, “Won’t you join us for a drink?”

       “No!” Jiang Tongyan said, “Who cares about you drinking!”

       He left, leaving Shen Huiming and Suo Yang standing there laughing helplessly.

       Suo Yang said, “Shall we take a walk?”

       “Let’s go. The weather is not bad. Let’s just stroll around.”

       They said the weather was good, but unexpectedly, after walking for a little while, it started to drizzle.

       Shen Huiming took Suo Yang to take shelter in front of a closed shop to avoid the rain. Their shoulders leaned against each other, hands held together, and just half a step forward would get them wet from the rain.

       Shen Huiming said, “This is like the heavens forcing us to reminisce.”

       Suo Yang smiled silently, looking at the raindrops falling on the ground, and thought about that time the two met on the streets of New York late at night.

       At that time, he never imagined that one day he would revisit an old place with Shen Huiming as lovers.

       At this time, there were quite a few vehicles passing by, and there were naturally some pedestrians passing by, but everyone was in a hurry. They were either running in the rain or walking past with an umbrella, and no one paid attention to the two men standing by the wall. They and the others were all insignificant passersby in each other’s lives, not even leaving distinct outlines in their own stories.

       But Shen Huiming and Suo Yang, they are worth a thousand dollars in each other’s hearts. Since they met, each page of the story has each other’s names.

       “Is it bad for us to kiss on the side of the road?” Shen Huiming asked.

       Suo Yang thought for a while, “Are there any laws in the United States that don’t allow kissing on the road?”

       “Probably not.”

       “Then let’s kiss.”

       Suo Yang turned to look at him. The two looked at each other for a second and kissed.

       This time, Shen Huiming and Suo Yang also felt the same kind of happiness that Cheng Sen and Zhou Mo had—getting on the plane to work and then getting off the plane to have fun together.

       In the forty hours in New York, except for meeting Jiang Tongyan, the two of them never left the hotel. Shen Huiming’s so-called ‘holiday travel’ became ‘holiday in bed’.

       Both of them find it incredible that they were never been an indulgent people, but they often lose control in front of each other.

       When Suo Yang woke up in the middle of the night and looked at Shen Huiming’s sleeping face. He was seriously wondering whether this was really love playing tricks on them, turning two rigid individuals into a sticky mess, making them like two tree roots entwined in a hidden place, closely connected without anyone noticing.

       This journey went by quickly and was quite enjoyable, which also made Shen Huiming feel very relaxed.

       However, his vacation had to end on the return flight. He went straight to the company when he landed, and he didn’t even have time to go home and change his clothes.

       Suo Yang felt sorry for him, but he also knew that it couldn’t be helped.

       “I’ll get in touch after I’m done with my work.” Suo Yang said, “I’ll wait for you anytime.”

       Because of their work, both Shen Huiming and Suo Yang were always punctual people. They arranged their schedules clearly and strictly adhered to them.

       They had a strong sense of time and always planned before they did anything.

       None of them would waste time waiting indefinitely because they all understood how precious time is.

       But Suo Yang promised Shen Huiming—I will wait for you anytime.

       Such a sentence, which seemed to be nothing special to others, but to Shen Huiming, it was a wonderful love sentence.

       The two separated at the airport; one went home, and the other went to the company.

       While Shen Huiming was busy in the company, Suo Yang cleaned the house, changed the sheets and quilts, and washed his clothes and pants.

       He was not willing to throw away the roses that Shen Huiming gave him before he went to New York, and now they had completely withered.

       The reason why Suo Yang never bought fresh flowers while there were vases at home was that he felt that no matter how colourful the flowers were, no matter how vigorous they were before, they would soon come to the end of their lives. The petals would fall off, the leaves would wither, and no matter how you thought about it, it was somehow sad.

       He didn’t like to be ‘sent off’, so he simply didn’t ‘welcome’.

       However, it was probably because of Shen Huiming’s appearance that his whole attitude towards life changed.

       Today, the withering of flowers no longer means loss but that the life that was once gorgeous had not been in vain.

       It turned out that love could really change a person.

       He packed everything up and took another nap, and when he woke up, it was already dark outside.

       He glanced at his phone. It was past eight o’clock in the evening, and there was still no news from Shen Huiming.

       Suo Yang got off the bed, took a glass of warm water and drank it while standing in front of the window. He suddenly had a thought, took his mobile phone and searched for recipes.

       There was nothing in the refrigerator at home, so he hesitated and went downstairs.

       The small supermarket downstairs was still open, and he bought vegetables according to the recipe.

       It was almost nine o’clock when he returned home. He originally thought that if Shen Huiming finished his work, he would go to find the other party and make the soup another day, but there was no news from the other party, and he didn’t want to disturb his work, so he put his phone aside. He then looked at the recipe and started processing the ingredients.

       Suo Yang seldom cooks, he knew how to cook a few dishes, but he often felt that he had no motivation to cook since he lived alone. Most of the time, he simply cooked instant noodles or porridge, and rarely did he seriously make soup.

       He was thinking that Shen Huiming was working hard and that he should make up for it. However, Shen Huiming called just as soon as the ingredients were processed.

       “Finished working?” Suo Yang purposely looked at the time. It was almost half past nine.

       “Well, what are you doing?”

       “I’m making soup for you.” Suo Yang smiled, “Have you had dinner yet?”

       “Soup?” Shen Huiming was really flattered, “Whether you’ve had dinner or not doesn’t matter at this hour; it’s time for a late-night snack.”

       “Then, come to my place?” Suo Yang estimated that Shen Huiming should be able to drink hot soup when he came to rest for a while.

       “Okay, I’ll go there now.” Shen Huiming said, “It feels so good to have someone waiting for me.”

       Suo Yang let out a light laugh and told him to drive safely.

       In love, having someone to wait for, or someone to wait for, is a happy thing.

       Life suddenly had fresh expectations, wanted to see the other party, and wanted to be the other party’s support after the other party was busy and tired.

       After Suo Yang hung up the phone, he speeded up. He was cooking when he waited for his lover to knock on the door.

       In the city at night, there were still many people rushing on the road, and the traffic jam situation was not much better than during the day.

       Shen Huiming was so eager to return that he wanted to learn to instantly move and appear beside Suo Yang in the blink of an eye.

       He was sitting in the car, music playing, gently tilting the steering wheel with his fingers, and staring at the taillights of the car in front of him.

       He hummed along. It was the song ‘Elopement’ recommended to him by Suo Yang.

       In the city of desire, you are my last faith.

       White as a beam of joy that illuminates my heart.

       Shen Huiming smiled. His mind was full of Suo Yang.

Chapter 98

August 11, 2023 / / 2 Comments

       By the time Guan Anlin was transferred from the ICU to the general ward, Chen Yuncheng saw Long Zhanyu in the hospital.

       Long Zhanyu didn’t come alone, he also had two colleagues in the ward to take Guan Anlin’s statement.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t go into the ward either and sat down with Long Zhanyu in the corridor outside. He looked at Long Zhanyu and said, “You look like you’ve lost weight.”

       “What’s with the exaggeration?” Long Zhanyu leaned back in his chair, playing with a lighter in his hand, “We haven’t seen each other for just a few days.”

       Chen Yuncheng observed him carefully, “But you still look pretty good. How is it going with Yu Jie?”

       The lighter in Long Zhanyu’s hand ‘clicked’ and lit up. The flame had just ignited, but he quickly let go of his hand and said, “I’m not at liberty to tell you much during the investigation stage of the case, but Yu Jie will definitely not escape. Don’t worry.” He said it lightly now, without mentioning a single word about the fact that he spent almost two whole nights looking for the dashcam records that captured the crime scene.

       Having said that, Long Zhanyu remembered something, “You know Wang Yongcheng, right?”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head in a daze.

       Long Zhanyu said, “The person who scammed Dr. Ning’s mother of the rent and then ran away, he’s also on the case.”

       “Really?” Chen Yuncheng was only slightly surprised.

       When Long Zhanyu looked at his expression, he asked, “You’re still not clear about how Guan Anlin fell out with Yu Jie, do you?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “He just came out of the ICU, how can I have the heart to ask him.”

       Long Zhanyu said, “It’s because he found out that Wang Yongcheng had a relationship with Yu Jie. So he stalked and secretly photographed Wang Yongcheng, and offended Yu Jie.”

       Chen Yuncheng was a little startled, “Yu Jie was trying to kill him just because of this?”

       Long Zhanyu raised his head, “There is no surveillance, the surrounding is very dark, and the old van didn’t have a dashcam, and Guan Anlin was the one that hit first.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him.

       Long Zhanyu looked lazily, “At least some eyewitnesses who stood far away saw Guan Anlin raising his hand to hit, whether it was an intentional homicide or an accident or self-defence, who can say for sure.” Here, he paused, “But surveillance doesn’t lie.”

       “You said there was no surveillance.”

       Long Zhanyu smiled, “As long as one works hard enough, there is no case that cannot be solved.”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t continue to question. He was relieved when Long Zhanyu said Yu Jie couldn’t get away, and he didn’t want to force Long Zhanyu to say more because it was inconvenient for him to reveal more, so he just said, “Guan Anlin was too careless.”

       Long Zhanyu turned his head to look at him, “Actually, presumably part of it was because he was doing it for you.

       “Huh?”

       “Probably he wanted to get Yu Jie to withdraw Shu Rong’s money”

       Chen Yuncheng stared at the door of the ward in front, “But there was no evidence before that Yu Jie and that Wang Yongcheng were colluding, right?”

       Long Zhanyu smiled and said, “But it doesn’t prevent him from thinking this way, he has his simple instincts and they’re pretty accurate.”

       After the police had left, Chen Yuncheng opened the door of the ward and went in, and sat down beside Guan Anlin’s bed.

       Guan Anlin had just finished giving his statement, and he was a little tired. He lay on the bed and looked up at the IV bottle. He asked Chen Yuncheng, “Will it be over in half an hour?”

       Chen Yuncheng answered him, “The nurse said there is another set of medicine.”

       Guan Anlin sighed.

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him and said nothing.

       After a long time, Guan Anlin felt uncomfortable being watched, and asked him, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

       Chen Yuncheng did not answer.

       Guan Anlin then took the initiative to find a topic to chat with him about and said, “Tonight is Dr. Ning’s night shift again, right?”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded.

       After Guan Anlin came out of the ICU, he needed a family member to stay in the ward with him to look after him. At first, Guan Anqin insisted on accompanying her brother by herself, but Chen Yuncheng thought that as a young girl, even if they were brothers and sisters, it would still be inconvenient for Guan Anlin if she wanted to go to the bathroom at night, so he asked Guan Anqin to go back at night, and he himself stayed here to keep watch over Guan Anlin.

       “Then you can go to sleep with him, you don’t need to keep watch over me here,” Guan Anlin said.

       Chen Yuncheng folded his arms on his chest and said to him, “Cut it out.”

       “Ugh—” Guan Anlin sighed again, looked up at the IV bottle, and said, “When will this day ever end?”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “Do you regret it now?  Why didn’t you listen when I told you not to provoke Yu Jie?”

       Guan Anlin couldn’t help but want to raise his hand to cover his ears, but the wound would be pulled if he moved his hand. He lifted it up and put it down again, and said with a painful face, “Please let me go, don’t lecture me when I am already like this.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him and stopped talking.

       After a while, Guan Anlin raised his head to look at him and found that his eyes were red, and he was a little flustered, “What’s wrong with you? You’re not crying, are you?”

       The ward was a double room, separated by a curtain, and the people in the next bed can still hear their voices.

       Chen Yuncheng’s voice was hoarse, “I’m not”

       Guan Anlin said to him, “Aren’t I still alive? You can wait for me to die before you cry.”

       Chen Yuncheng stomped his foot on the edge of the hospital bed, causing the bed to shake slightly. He gave a rare cold face and spoke sternly, “Cut the crap!”

       Guan Anlin said, “Then don’t cry.”

       Although Chen Yuncheng’s eyes were still slightly red, he did not shed tears, he just looked at Guan Anlin and repeated, “I’m not crying.” After he said these words, he spoke again in a low voice, “You are my brother, the most important person around me, no one else is that important. Zhou Yan is still locked up in jail, I just want you to live a good life.”

       Guan Anlin sneered, “Don’t compare me with Zhou Yan. Besides, how can I be more important to you than Ning Junyan? Stop coaxing me, and live your life properly yourself.”

       Maybe it was because he talked too much in the afternoon, which consumed a lot of Guan Anlin’s energy. In the evening, before it was completely dark, Guan Anlin had already fallen asleep on the hospital bed.

       Chen Yuncheng greeted the patients and their families in the next bed, turned off the headlights in the ward, and sat by the bed alone. He looked at Guan Anlin quietly through the bedside lamp of the next bed through the middle curtain.

       The hospital ward was always filled with the smell of disinfectant, and other things, such as the smell of unconsumed dinner and the smell of a patient who was bedridden for a long time.

       Chen Yuncheng looked at Guan Anlin, in fact, he was in a daze. He thought that since Zhou Yan’s son was hospitalised and he met Ning Junyan again, and because he started to go in and out of the hospital frequently, he was almost familiar with these smells.

       He hoped that no one around him would be hospitalised anymore, although he would still come here often because Ning Junyan would always be here.

       After an unknown amount of time, the door of the ward was gently pushed open. Chen Yuncheng turned his head to look and saw Ning Junyan walking in.

       Ning Junyan moved very lightly, pulled a chair and sat down beside Chen Yuncheng, reached out to hold Chen Yuncheng’s hand, and placed it on his lap.

       Neither of them spoke.

       The patient in the next bed, separated by a curtain, was chatting quietly with his mother who was nursing him. They probably hadn’t noticed that there was an extra person in the ward at this time.

       Chen Yuncheng gently rested his head on Ning Junyan’s shoulder.

       Ning Junyan lowered his head, first kissed Chen Yuncheng’s forehead, and then kissed his lips.

       Chen Yuncheng was suddenly panicked and subconsciously looked at Guan Anlin who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, and then at the shadows of the two people on the next bed on the curtain.

       Ning Junyan was dissatisfied that Chen Yuncheng was not paying attention, and raised his hand to pinch his chin, making Chen Yuncheng only look at him.

       This sneaky kiss lasted for more than a minute before Ning Junyan let go of him, and kissed him on the cheek again in satisfaction.

       Chen Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief and clenched Ning Junyan’s hand firmly.

       After a while, Chen Yuncheng said softly to Ning Junyan, “Long Zhanyu came over today and told me that Guan Anlin must go to investigate Yu Jie. In fact, he wants to help your mother get her money back.”

       When he spoke, the bed next door was quiet for a while, but soon the voice of chatting continued.

       They all spoke so softly to each other that it was almost impossible to hear what the other was saying.

       Ning Junyan’s expression was very calm, obviously, he didn’t care much about this matter, he said, “It’s not necessary.”

       Chen Yuncheng grabbed his hand, “For me and Guan Anlin, it’s a lot of money.”

       “It’s not a matter of more money or less money,” Ning Junyan said, “it’s not worth risking your life for the money.”

       Chen Yuncheng’s eyes fell on Guan Anlin’s sleeping face, “He did it for me.”

       Ning Junyan was a little unhappy. After a while, he asked Chen Yuncheng, “Do you think my mother’s attitude towards you is important?”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t answer directly but said, “Maybe I care more about the family relationship. The more I lack something, the more people care about it. It doesn’t matter how she treats me. It’s just a pity to break this family relationship. Otherwise, why would I have pushed you back then, how much better it would have been if I had dragged you along with me.”

       “That person1referring to his mom,” Ning Jun said slowly, “is difficult.”

       Chen Yuncheng knew in his heart, “I’m not important, what’s important is you and her.”

       Ning Junyan put his lips on his forehead, “No, you are important. If you think it is important, I will do it.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked up at him, suddenly his emotions surged, he put his arms around the back of his neck and wanted to kiss him. At this time, the chair under him also moved slightly, making a slight sound as it rubbed against the ground.

       He was startled, and immediately raised his head to look at the curtain. He saw that there was no movement from the people behind the curtain. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realised that Guan Anlin, who was lying on the hospital bed, had woken up at some point.

       Chen Yuncheng immediately let go of Ning Junyan’s hand.

       Ning Junyan looked at Guan Anlin calmly.

       Guan Anlin looked disgusted, moved his body with difficulty, and said, “Are you guys not bothered? Get out of my ward!”

Chapter 28 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 11, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Chapter 28

 

The mecha society was engulfed in a fierce battle of practical combat operations. Lu Jingning huddled up with Yan Hebin, and from the sidelines, he couldn’t help but make comments: “This mecha is actually quite good, but the operator’s performance is lousy. I really suspect they are deliberately holding back for dramatic effect. Look, look, the ballistic trajectory at such a close range missed again.”

 

Yan Hebin, after enduring Lu Jingning’s complaints for a while, couldn’t help but speak up: “It’s tactical cover. Didn’t you notice how the exploding smoke effectively obstructed the opponent’s vision?”

 

Lu Jingning dismissed it with a scoff: “Cover my foot! If they were real men, they’d just charge in!”

 

Yan Hebin: “…”

 

You make a good point, and I can’t argue with you.

 

As another missile was launched, the entire battlefield erupted in a dazzling display of fireworks, evoking an exclamation of awe from everyone: “Wow!”

 

Lu Jingning enthusiastically joined in with a “Wow” before he could say anything else. However, the entire combat scene was suddenly shrouded in flashing red lights, accompanied by blaring alarm sounds.

 

Lu Jingning paused for a moment, the playful expression in his eyes gradually fading away, “What’s going on?”

 

Despite his usual unserious demeanor, Lu Jingning grew up in a family of military background. Having witnessed surprise attacks while wandering with Lu Kongbin during his childhood, he quickly reacted to the situation.

 

Yan Hebin’s tone turned serious: “It’s a red alert.”

 

Others might not have reacted as quickly, but after a moment of confusion, they gradually regained their composure, though still somewhat panicked.

 

Lu Jingning didn’t have time to delve into Yan Hebin’s unusually composed attitude and quickly surveyed the surroundings. He spotted An Huo, who was still standing in place, and shouted loudly, “Senior Sister, snap out of it! Organize the members and evacuate safely!”

 

Though uncertain of what was happening, they knew that a red alert was the highest level of crisis warning. Even a one-second delay could result in significant casualties.

 

An Huo was immediately reminded by his words and quickly organized the staff members to gather and move towards the safe zone.

 

Yu Zeyang seemed well-prepared. At the first sign of the alarm, he quickly arranged a temporary passageway, and upon seeing Lu Jingning’s decisive response, he glanced at him before immersing himself into the emergency command.

 

Most members respected and feared Yu Zeyang’s fierceness, so they followed his evacuation orders without daring to take a deep breath, maintaining a smooth and orderly progress.

 

As Lu Jingning and Yan Hebin passed by Yu Zeyang, he suddenly spoke up again, “You two Omegas better stick with the main group and not act alone, understand?”

 

Lu Jingning gave him a direct eye roll, expressing his inner thoughts.

 

“…” Yu Zeyang was irritated by his attitude but didn’t have time to argue further. He sternly said, “In times like this, you must follow orders! Hurry and go!”

 

Both of them followed the other members of the mecha society through the safe passage.

 

After walking for a while, Yan Hebin couldn’t help but look back at Lu Jingning and asked with some concern, “You wouldn’t really be planning to do something reckless, right?”

 

Lu Jingning was speechless for a moment. “What are you saying? Am I the kind of person who causes trouble at critical moments? I was just teasing him!”

 

Compared to others, he perhaps understood better the consequences of acting like a hero in an inappropriate situation. In military terms, Lu Kongbin had practically drilled it into him through punches and kicks.

 

Yan Hebin seemed surprised by Lu Jingning’s unexpectedly calm and composed response, and he said, “That’s good.”

 

Finally, they reached the open area.

 

The radiance of the stars instantly spread around them, but in that moment of expanded vision, a loud explosion tore through the air, stunning everyone.

 

Startled by the direction of the explosion, they saw the teaching building they had recently attended classes in now under intense bombardment. Faculty members were actively evacuating, but many were still trapped inside, and cries for help and screams echoed in the air.

 

The assault, however, continued relentlessly.

 

Lu Jingning looked up to the sky and saw an ancient, enormous black spacecraft seemingly materializing out of thin air, ominously hovering above the Imperial Navy University.

 

The blood-red skull pattern on the hull was striking and seemed to stimulate everyone’s vision, like a nightmare invading their minds.

 

Someone nearby exclaimed, “Oh my god, it’s the interstellar pirates!”

 

After that voice, others seemed to awaken one after another.

 

“This emblem belongs to the Eastern Star System, the Wartorn Clan!”

 

“I remember hearing that during the joint operation, it was actually the Patrol Team that infiltrated the enemy’s camp and eliminated the leaders!”

 

“They’re retaliating! These pirates must be seeking revenge!”

 

“So, they’ve come to find the Imperial Navy Patrol Team?”

 

“But didn’t they say the entire Wartorn Clan was wiped out? Why are there still so many of them?”

 

“Oh god, are we going to be caught in the crossfire?”

 

In the midst of anxious discussions, fear spread, and voices grew louder. Some even began to wail, “Those interstellar pirates were already lawless. This time, they won’t spare us!”

 

Most of the students present were freshmen and sophomores who hadn’t experienced a real war. Placed suddenly on the frontline of the battlefield, all the knowledge they were taught in class disappeared under the overwhelming tension.

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t help but turn his head to look at his anxious classmates. He couldn’t help but smirk.

 

Remembering not long ago when the members of the Imperial Navy Patrol Team returned to the campus as heroes, welcomed and adored by countless fans, he found the scene quite ironic now.

 

Amidst the chaotic gunfire, a high-energy laser beam exploded nearby, leaving a large hole in the ground, completely blocking their path.

 

The moving group had to come to a halt, and panic spread through the crowd.

 

Seeing that the interstellar pirates’ reconnaissance ship had detected their movement, a series of dazzling beams shot out from the side, intercepting the incoming fire and slicing a small warship in half at close range.

 

Lu Jingning turned to look and saw a massive new-type mecha emerging from behind the teaching building. The person in the c0ckpit had stunning and flamboyant curly hair. Despite the critical moment, she even took the time to open the c0ckpit door and blew a kiss at the startled crowd, “Keep moving forward, sweethearts. Let the combatants handle this place.”

 

Lu Jingning: “…”

 

Such show-offs.

 

Some people, however, seemed to fall for it and couldn’t help but scream in excitement, “Go, Senior Sister Kang Hanyun!”

 

Kang Hanyun from the Imperial Navy Patrol Team winked playfully. As the c0ckpit door closed, the light whip in her mecha’s hand swiftly wrapped around a low-flying warship, slamming it heavily onto the ground.

 

The resulting explosion and debris sent an electric current through their hearts, briefly raising their spirits.

 

Seeing someone stepping up to protect them, An Huo didn’t waste any more time and raised his voice, “All staff members, clear the way ahead! Other members, keep following me, stay close, and don’t get separated!”

 

The previously obstructed group finally started moving again.

 

Perhaps inspired by Kang Hanyun’s motivation, everyone felt a little more reassured. Some even noticed Lu Jingning and Yan Hebin at the back of the group and deliberately came closer to joke, “Ah, no wonder the vice president reminded you. You two Omegas really need to be careful! I heard that those interstellar pirates from the Eastern Star System, the Pu Stars, are particularly obsessed with Omega pheromones. They used to capture a few Omegas and take them back to have some fun. If you accidentally fall into their hands, they might really suck you dry!”

 

Lu Jingning gave the person a deadpan look, “Oh? How about I demonstrate how I can suck you dry right here and now?”

 

The person was clearly taken aback by Lu Jingning’s suggestive remark and looked shocked, “Are you really an Omega? Why do you speak like that?”

 

Lu Jingning smiled mysteriously, “Just talking doesn’t mean anything. I wonder if you want to give it a try?”

 

“…” The person felt embarrassed, his face alternating between red and white, and then he walked away dejectedly.

 

At that moment, the group finally reached the entrance of the anti-aircraft area. After entering the code and opening the metal door, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

 

The anti-aircraft area was an underground space with a one-way transparent material for the ceiling, extremely sturdy and capable of withstanding several high-intensity artillery attacks.

 

Once they settled in, everyone, still feeling a little shaken, observed the increasingly intense battle scenes outside. It was the first time for most of them to be so close to a real war, and it was understandably overwhelming.

 

This was no simulation they had experienced in class; this was real warfare!

 

Lu Jingning found a spot to sit down lazily, leaning against the wall. His eyes flickered with an inscrutable gleam as he watched the intense battles outside.

 

Yan Hebin noticed the seriousness in his expression and approached him, asking, “What’s wrong? Did you notice something?”

 

Lu Jingning furrowed his brow, “I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something feels off.”

 

The military should have received intelligence earlier, and the reinforcements arrived swiftly. With their arrival, the situation on the battlefield was quickly brought under control.

 

However, it was precisely because of this that Lu Jingning couldn’t help but sense that something was amiss. Just like what his classmates had said, this attack was carried out by the Eastern Star System’s pirate remnants. But if they were truly seeking revenge against the Imperial Navy Patrol Team, even if they had just suffered heavy losses, this kind of attack seemed a bit too much like a childish play.

 

At least, if it were him, with such a deep-seated grudge, he would ensure a sure-fire plan for the attack!

 

Lost in thought, Lu Jingning raised his head and looked towards the enemy’s mother ship at the far end of the sky.

 

It remained still among the clouds, its blood-red skull emblem eerie and striking, appearing like an observer, waiting for the perfect moment to strike its prey.

 

Just as Lu Jingning was immersed in contemplation, his communicator suddenly buzzed.

 

He didn’t expect Yu Qingcang to contact him at this moment. He answered the call and asked, “What’s the situation? Are you in the safe zone?”

 

Yu Qingcang’s voice came through, filled with a tearful tone, “Don’t even mention it! We have been terribly unlucky! We got involved in the center of the war zone during the evacuation! Lu bro, I’m calling to say my last words! If I die, remember that you’re my real daddy!”

 

“…” Lu Jingning listened to the sound of battle roaring in the background of the communicator, remained silent for a moment, and then said unkindly, “Get lost! Stop thinking about taking advantage of me all the time. I’m your real daddy? You might just die like that!”

 

T/N: Hey there! There is plenty more where that came from, so stay tuned! And stay healthy! Straighten your posture, so some stretches and drink some water before continuing hehe~

Chapter 27 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 10, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Chapter 27

 

Leaving the sight of others, the two of them stopped under the shade of a tree. There, with his hair soaked in sweat, Wen Xingchen had a towel hanging from his neck, but he just leaned against the tree trunk and remained silent without initiating the conversation.

 

Wen Ye glanced at his expression and sighed softly, “Still upset with Father?” Wen Xingchen responded, “It’s quite rare to have you as a mediator this time.” 

 

Wen Ye said, “I can’t really be considered a mediator. I only learned about this matter after coming back. I’m planning to visit home in a few days and meet the new stepfather. If you have nothing else to do, why not come along with me?” 

 

Wen Xingchen didn’t respond directly but gave him a cold glance, “Bringing the new stepfather along, big brother, you seem to be going with the flow more and more.” 

 

Wen Ye remained silent for a moment under his attitude and said, “You know Father’s personality. After all these years, aren’t you used to it by now?” 

 

“Some things are impossible to get used to, big brother. Besides, promiscuity should not be associated with personality traits.” Wen Xingchen’s eyes lost all amusement, and he recalled someone’s figure, a touch of mockery appearing on his lips. “Sometimes I really admire you. Over the past ten years, Mr. Wen has changed eight legal spouses like a revolving lantern, yet you can still stand in his shoes and speak for him. How can you bring yourself to do it?”

 

Wen Ye remained silent.

 

Regarding their father’s well-known amorous nature throughout the empire, finding excuses to justify it was indeed somewhat strained. If it weren’t for receiving a communication from Wen Muqiao when he returned, crying and saying that he had upset their precious son again, Wen Ye wouldn’t have bothered to come and invite trouble.

 

Blame it on that man’s incorrigible lack of self-restraint. Whenever he saw an Omega he liked, he couldn’t control himself, especially under the influence of his favored pheromones. He couldn’t care less about anything else, the epitome of someone with a pure love-brained.

 

Among all those short-lived marriages, the five years he spent with Wen Xingchen’s mother were already the longest.

 

Wen Xingchen was clearly completely different when it came to emotions. He had watched his father and stepmothers change in and out like revolving lanterns throughout his life, and he couldn’t reconcile that with his mother’s suffering on the outside. Although the two elders’ relationship was still fairly decent, the rift between father and son naturally deepened.

 

“If you don’t want to go back, forget it.” Wen Ye tried to fulfill his duty by mentioning it and promptly changed the topic. “While I’m still at the military academy for these few days, consider joining the Imperial Navy Patrol.”

 

Wen Xingchen glanced at him and asked, “What’s the reason?”

 

During the new student challenge match, he deliberately lost the third round, so Wen Ye should already know he didn’t want to get involved with these matters.

 

Although Wen Ye was rigorous and methodical, he had never forced him to do anything. But this time, right after returning to school, Wen Ye came looking for him, clearly having a reason he couldn’t avoid.

 

“Our patrol suffered heavy casualties in the recent operation, especially the condition of Wei Qushu which requires at least half a year of rest.” Wen Ye’s explanation was very business-like and straightforward. “The inter-school competition is about to start, and according to regulations, we need to submit at least three names. Besides, your strength is evident to me. At such a moment when we should bring glory to our school, it should be natural for you to be chosen.”

 

Wen Ye’s personality indeed prioritized the bigger picture, but at this moment, Wen Xingchen was clearly focused on something else.

 

“With heavy casualties?” He frowned slightly and asked, “What about you?”

 

Wen Ye replied, “I’m fine.”

 

Wen Xingchen nodded and said, “I’ll think about it.”

 

“Alright.” Wen Ye didn’t insist and after exchanging a few more words, he left.

 

Alone again, Wen Xingchen stood still for quite some time, leaning against the tree, looking up at the stars in the sky absent-mindedly. The brilliance of the stars was somewhat dazzling, but he stood in the shade of the tree, seemingly determined not to let their light touch him.

 

Though Wen Xingchen and Wen Ye were half-siblings, they had always gotten along quite well from childhood. In fact, if it weren’t for their philandering father bringing new loves home after his peaceful divorce from their mother, the family as a whole could be considered harmonious.

 

From a young age, Wen Xingchen knew that there was a certain type of Alpha, inherently promiscuous, and he would never become a person like his father.

 

He wondered what kind of Omega their father had brought home this time and whether, after indulging Wen Muqiao, they would end up crying, throwing tantrums, or even attempting suicide once they woke up from the honeymoon phase.

 

Wen Xingchen took a deep breath, removed the towel from his neck, and walked towards the training ground.

 

The class bell had long since rung, and the training ground was now empty, devoid of any figures.

 

However, just as Wen Xingchen walked into the training ground, a golden head suddenly popped up among the lush grass.

 

It seemed like he had been napping, but when he drowsily looked toward the entrance, he hesitated for a moment upon meeting Wen Xingchen’s gaze before his expression gradually cleared up.

 

The next moment, Lu Jingning jumped up from the ground, exclaiming, “Hey, Wen, you’re back!”

 

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

The change of atmosphere was too sudden, and it took him a moment to adjust his mood.

 

As Lu Jingning walked toward him while fiddling with his sleeves, he babbled, “The more I thought about it, the more I felt the victory was a bit disgraceful. Come, let’s have another match while no one’s around.”

 

Wen Xingchen thought he was just saying that but was surprised when Lu Jingning really made a move. He quickly reached out to stop him and said speechlessly, “Aren’t you tired?”

 

“Tired? How could that be! The word ‘tired’ doesn’t exist in Brother Lu’s dictionary!” Lu Jingning said brazenly.

 

“In that case, you win,” Wen Xingchen conceded.

 

“???” Lu Jingning was puzzled.

 

“Because I’m tired,” Wen Xingchen replied nonchalantly, stepping to the side, “Brother Lu, move aside.”

 

Lu Jingning reluctantly made way for him.

 

Wen Xingchen walked over to pick up his jacket hanging on the railing, and on his way back, he seemed to recall something, “Brother Lu, did you buy the laundry detergent?”

 

“Laundry detergent? What laundry detergent?” Lu Jingning asked.

 

“Last time you asked me about it, the green plum-scented laundry detergent. Were you waiting for me to provide it to you?” Wen Xingchen replied with a hint of amusement.

 

Lu Jingning thought about it seriously and said, “Maybe.”

 

Wen Xingchen smiled, “I never realized until now that you’re actually quite outstanding.”

 

Lu Jingning cheekily grinned, “Flattery, flattery.”

 

For the first time, Wen Xingchen found himself at a loss for words in front of someone. After a brief moment of silence, he finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

 

Lu Jingning had never seen Wen Xingchen’s so forthright smile before. The curved eyes seemed to have softened his usual aura of being a poser, making him inexplicably likable.

 

However, this clearly wasn’t the point now. The point was—

 

“Are you mocking me, Wen Xingchen?” Lu Jingning furrowed his brows.

 

Wen Xingchen waved his hand, still with a smile in his voice, “No.”

 

“Still denying it?” Lu Jingning tightened his frown.

 

Wen Xingchen suddenly reached out and ruffled his hair, his usually cool tone softening a bit, “Really, I’m not.”

 

Perhaps sensing Lu Jingning’s annoyance over his sudden laughter, when he returned to the dorm, Wen Xingchen sent him a gift the next day to express his apology.

 

Excitedly, Lu Jingning opened the package and found two full bags of green plum-scented laundry detergent inside.

 

Lu Jingning: “…”

 

When Yan Hebin returned to the dorm, they saw Lu Jingning pouring something from the bags into the laundry machine and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing?”

 

Lu Jingning didn’t look back but they could hear the gritting of his teeth in his voice, “Someone likes the scent of green plums, and I’m trying my best to satisfy him. I don’t believe I can’t smoke him out with this!”

 

Yan Hebin: “???”

 

…

 

The first club activity of the Mecha Society was scheduled for the weekend.

 

As Lu Jingning and Yan Hebin entered the society, they saw the committee members bustling about, busy with something.

 

At first glance, Lu Jingning saw the Alpha woman who had received them at the entrance on the day of recruitment. She walked over and greeted her casually, “Senior sister, what are you preparing for?”

 

As she turned her head, An Huo noticed the two new Omega juniors standing nearby, so she enthusiastically introduced, “Today is the first club activity, and we’re preparing to set up a battlefield. The core senior members of the society will give you a live demonstration of mecha combat.”

 

Live combat was completely different from virtual combat; though holographic simulations were highly realistic, the sensory experience of real combat with live ammunition was much more thrilling.

 

Lu Jingning raised his head to observe the rough layout of the venue. With An Huo’s command, a transparent light barrier instantly enveloped the surroundings.

 

Although it looked thin, anyone familiar with Imperial Interstellar’s defense technology knew that it was the primary material used for protective shields, indicating the society’s considerable financial backing.

 

“Ah, Yan Hebin, I didn’t expect the Mecha Society to be so interesting.” Just by looking at the setup, Lu Jingning knew they were preparing to bring out something big, and he, being someone who enjoyed stirring up trouble, naturally couldn’t miss such an opportunity.

 

In contrast, Yan Hebin, who was originally obsessed with the Mecha Society, seemed much calmer. “Hmm,” Hebin responded, his gaze falling on the newly introduced mechs that were just brought in from outside. He calmly said, “These mechs are all newly launched models in the past five years. They are not top-tier in terms of firepower, but they are a good choice for a stage show. However, if they don’t plan to use highly lethal hidden ammunition, a liquid fusion barrier is enough. They don’t need to go through so much trouble to lay down a light barrier.”

 

An Huo, who heard this impromptu lecture, was stunned for a moment. “Junior brother, your knowledge is quite extensive…”

 

“An Huo, how’s the preparation going now?” Yu Zeyang walked over and noticed Lu Jingning. He cast a disinterested glance at him as if he didn’t see him at all.

 

Lu Jingning was infuriated by this disdainful attitude, wanting to give him a kick right away.

 

But could he?

 

An Huo quickly reported the situation, glancing back and noticing only Yu Zeyang present. He couldn’t help but ask, “Vice President, why is it only you here? Where’s the President?”

 

“I don’t know either. When I just came over, Yun Lin sent me a message saying he had something to deal with temporarily and asked me to take charge of today’s activity.” Yu Zeyang spoke as he walked toward the other area, saying, “I’ll go take a look over there.”

 

An Huo acknowledged and watched him leave. Still a bit puzzled, he muttered softly, “Strange, what could it be? The President isn’t the type to casually miss a club activity…”

 

Lu Jingning listened on the side and chimed in, “Yeah, if I had known that the President wouldn’t come, I wouldn’t have bothered coming today either. It’s just a Vice President, but he acts like his nose reaches the top of his head. People who don’t know would think he’s the Vice Chancellor!”

 

After speaking, he was still annoyed and added, “The Vice Chancellor can’t hold a candle to him!”

 

An Huo couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t say that, despite Vice President’s stern demeanor, he is actually quite kind-hearted. You’ll know once you get to know him better.”

 

Lu Jingning snorted disdainfully, “I can’t tell at all. I better not get to know him.”

 

As Yu Zeyang turned around and left, he didn’t let anyone see the deep, contemplative look in his eyes. He glanced at the current time and frowned slightly, “I hope it’s just a false alarm…”

 

At the same time, in the grand conference hall of the Imperial Navy Headquarters, it was already filled with people.

 

From their attire, there were high-ranking university officials, honorary professors who also held positions in the military, ordinary faculty members, and outstanding senior students.

 

The members of the Imperial Navy Patrol Squad were particularly conspicuous, wearing the uniform white military suits that were neatly aligned.

 

Headmaster Bing Cang sat in the central position, no longer appearing gentle as usual. His slightly narrowed eyes flashed with determination as he said, “Does everyone from the major departments already know about the situation?”

 

Despite the urgency of the situation and the limited time they had, the information they received about the enemy’s attack was vague and uncertain, but they had to be fully prepared for any possibility.

 

The naval university’s students were future soldiers, always ready for the battlefield.

 

Hearing Bing Cang’s words, Wen Ye could feel his teammate, Zhe Shan, clenching his fists tightly on the wheelchair, his expression full of unwillingness. Wen Ye patted his shoulder calmly, “This time, let us handle it.”

 

At the same time, headmaster Bing Cang’s voice rang out again, calm yet solemn, “Raise the alert, all personnel be on guard—!”

 

T/N: Hey there! There is plenty more where that came from, so stay tuned! And stay healthy! Straighten your posture, so some stretches and drink some water before continuing hehe~

Chapter 26 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 9, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Chapter 26

 

When he stepped out of the Mecha Society, Xingchen had already walked away briskly. Although they hadn’t exchanged many words, it was evident that his emotions were different from usual.

 

Lu Jingning furrowed his brows and followed Yan Hebin and the others silently towards the dormitory. However, midway, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. The others turned around to look at him.

 

Ren Jin asked, “What’s wrong, Lu bro?”

 

Lu Jingning scratched his head. “It’s nothing. I just suddenly remembered something. You guys go ahead; you don’t need to wait for me.”

 

Without waiting for their further inquiries, he turned around and started running frantically.

 

Looking into the distance, they could see his golden hair shimmering in the wind, leaving the others slightly astonished. What urgent matter could it be?

 

Lu Jingning ran all the way along the path that Xingchen had taken but couldn’t find a trace of him. Finally, after searching around the nearby teaching building, he spotted Xingchen in the corridor of Zone B.

 

Xingchen was leaning against the railing, holding a mint-flavored cigarette between his fingers. The smoke enveloped him, blending with the starlight and casting a faint halo around him. The breeze gently lifted his hair.

 

Just as he was skillfully about to bring the cigarette to his lips, he seemed to sense something and subconsciously turned to look. He caught sight of Lu Jingning standing at the stairway’s entrance.

 

Glistening beads of sweat adorned Lu Jingning’s golden hair, making him even more radiant than usual.

 

The cigarette paused midway to Xingchen’s lips, and he inexplicably felt as though he had been caught red-handed. After an eerie standoff, he cleared his throat, trying to act casual. “Hah, why haven’t you gone back yet?”

 

Lu Jingning remained silent, merely raising an eyebrow in response to the cigarette in Xingchen’s hand.

 

After a moment of silence, Xingchen extinguished the cigarette, and as Lu Jingning leisurely approached, he teasingly asked, “What? Don’t tell me you don’t like this scent?”

 

The lingering smell of smoke was still present when Lu Jingning approached, and he couldn’t deny it, the scent was as alluring as Xingchen’s pheromones.

 

However, this time, Lu Jingning wasn’t buying into Xingchen’s tactics. He replied, “Why should I like it?”

 

Xingchen chuckled, “Don’t like it? Then why were you so eager for my pheromones before?”

 

Lu Jingning realized that Xingchen was the type who didn’t just irritate himself but others too. Just like now, he couldn’t feel at ease if he didn’t have a few jabs at him.

 

To be honest, in some aspects, this guy was even more childish than him.

 

Actually, not just childish, he was also narcissistic – in short, his personality was just terrible.

 

Lu Jingning mentally rolled his eyes and decided not to continue this pointless discussion of whether the mint smell was good or not.

 

He reached into his pocket, took out a mint candy, removed the packaging, and lifted his hand, directly stuffing it into Xingchen’s mouth without giving him any chance to resist, “Experience this, the mint flavor of this candy is much more pleasant than the smell of cigarettes.”

 

Xingchen didn’t even have a chance to react before he tasted the instant sweetness in his mouth.

 

Lu Jingning, on the other hand, opened his candy and leaned lazily against the railing, squinting his eyes as if enjoying it. “See, this is what life is about!”

 

Staring at Lu Jingning’s back, Xingchen was momentarily stunned. After a while, he asked, “So, what made you so anxious to find me?”

 

Lu Jingning seemed to have just remembered why he ran after him and propped his head up with one hand, turning to look at Xingchen, “Oh, right, I wanted to ask you, what scent of laundry detergent do you like?”

 

Xingchen raised an eyebrow, “Laundry detergent?”

 

Chewing on the mint candy, Lu Jingning nodded slowly, “Yeah, you asked me to clean my coat before returning it to you, right? I’ll use whichever scent you like. You’re so picky, so it’s better to avoid any hassle later on.”

 

Xingchen remained silent for a moment before replying, “Green plum sauce scent.”

 

Lu Jingning: “???”

 

Lu Jingning looked at him, and the corners of Xingchen’s mouth lifted slightly as he continued, “I said I like the green plum sauce scent.”

 

A gust of wind swept by, dispersing some of the bitter cigarette smell around them.

 

The clamor around them gradually faded as the group of people from the Imperial Navy Patrol Unit passed by.

 

They were a mix of males and females, all with slender figures, clad in uniform white military suits, with delicate badges on their shoulders signifying their distinguished identities.

 

Among them was one person sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by a wavy-haired female Alpha, seemingly injured.

 

Nevertheless, this didn’t diminish the excitement the others felt upon their arrival.

 

With his excellent hearing, Lu Jingning easily caught fragments of their conversation as they passed by.

 

“Ah! It’s the Imperial Navy Patrol Unit! They finally returned to campus!”

 

“I heard they assisted the military in wiping out the War Scourge Team in the SU8052 battle. They’re so cool!”

 

“Wuwu, I guess I’ll never have a chance to participate in such thrilling military missions in my life.”

 

“But this time was extremely dangerous! Look, even Senior Qiu Shu got injured. I wonder if it’s serious. It’s really worrying.”

 

“Is that Kang Hanyun? Oh my God, he’s so cool!”

 

“Kang Hanyun is my goddess; everyone else can move aside!”

 

“Senior Wen Ye finally came back. I haven’t seen him for nearly half a semester.”

 

“Wen Ye is really something. He’s said to have earned a second-class military merit this time. I bet he’ll go straight to an important position in the military after graduation, being the first among us in the Imperial Sea Army.”

 

Listening to the last part, Lu Jingning realized that the topic had shifted to the current team leader of the Imperial Sea Patrol Unit, Wen Ye. The adulation and flattery seemed endless, as if they were trying to lift him up to the heavens.

 

He couldn’t help but think, “Is he really that amazing?”

 

This was the first time Lu Jingning formally encountered the legendary Imperial Navy Patrol Unit. Although he was curious about them, he instinctively looked back at Xingchen, whose gaze was focused on the man at the forefront of the group. His expression was once again emotionless, impossible to discern.

 

Lu Jingning blinked; he might finally understand the real reason behind Xingchen’s reluctance to join the Mecha Society.

 

So, was it because of his elder brother?

 

The surrounding noise slowly faded as the group from the Imperial Sea Patrol Unit moved further away.

 

The two stood there in silence for a while before finally deciding to return.

 

“Well, let’s go back,” Xingchen’s emotions seemed to have plummeted again, but at least he didn’t look as agitated as before.

 

Lu Jingning also had a few older brothers, but they had always doted on him, and he had never experienced any tension with them. Not knowing the specific circumstances of Xingchen’s family, he didn’t inquire further. He just followed him on their way back and suddenly remembered something, “By the way, Lao Wen, do you know the president of the Mecha Society?”

 

Xingchen responded, “Yeah.”

 

Lu Jingning asked, “What’s his background? It’s weird; I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before.”

 

Xingchen’s footsteps paused slightly, and instead of answering, he counter-questioned, “Have you met the Principal?”

 

Lu Jingning looked baffled, “Yes, I have.”

 

“You don’t think they look alike?” Wen Xingchen raised a meaningful smile, “Bing Yunlin is the grandson of Principal Bing Cang. So, while it’s highly unlikely that he would harm you, it’s still best to keep some distance from such a man. Otherwise, you might find yourself counting his money after he sells you off. I hope you understand what I mean.”

 

Lu Jingning: “……”

 

Lu Jingning: “!!!”

 

Damn it? No wonder he had this strange feeling of familiarity. These two are like a cunning old fox and a young fox cub!

 

…

 

Usually, club activities took place on weekends, so Lu Jingning didn’t meet the members of the Mecha Club again so soon. However, the next day in the afternoon during the combat class, he found himself facing Wen Xingchen.

 

Previously, he hadn’t noticed it, but now he realized that his classmates had already connected him and Wen Xingchen together as a team when it came to team battles.

 

Given that the total number of students in the Quadruple Faculty wasn’t large, all sixty students from the three classes were gathered together on the training ground, creating a spectacular scene.

 

The teacher explained the points of force for body strength during the combat class. Two students stood facing each other, and they had to push the other person down with their own strength to win. They were divided into six groups of ten students each.

 

As the students of the fifth group finished their bouts, the combat instructor blew the whistle. “Last group!”

 

Thus, Lu Jingning found himself standing there face to face with Wen Xingchen, attracting everyone’s attention.

 

The atmosphere around them was electric.

 

Upon hearing the command, Wen Xingchen got into position, but Lu Jingning, lost in his thoughts, couldn’t remember the instructions the teacher had given earlier. He mimicked Wen Xingchen’s posture as best as he could and asked, “Where do I put my hands? Like this?”

 

“Spread both hands open, palms facing down, then lock them together. No, not like that,” Wen Xingchen fell silent for a moment. “Stand properly. Give me your hand, and I’ll help you.”

 

Lu Jingning raised his hand, and as Wen Xingchen adjusted his posture, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “I know the last part, locking our hands together. It’s like this, right?”

 

Before Wen Xingchen could react, Lu Jingning’s fingers suddenly twisted, interlocking with his between the gaps of their hands, tightly connected.

 

They could feel the warmth from each other’s palms in that moment.

 

Wen Xingchen: “……”

 

The combat instructor was checking the correctness of each group’s postures. When he turned around and saw the two of them tightly holding hands, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “What are you two doing? I asked you to compete, not to hold hands and bond!”

 

Everyone’s attention was now focused on the conspicuous pair.

 

Accustomed to being the center of attention, Lu Jingning felt his palms heating up and found it hard to maintain his composure. “Ahem, Teacher, please correct our stance!”

 

The combat instructor walked over and adjusted their postures. “See, this is the proper form!”

 

Lu Jingning modestly said, “Yes, we see. You’re an amazing teacher!”

 

Wen Xingchen couldn’t help but laugh softly. “You’re good at flattery.”

 

Lu Jingning gave him a disdainful look. “Are you still laughing? If you weren’t such a lousy instructor, we wouldn’t have to endure being mocked by the teacher!”

 

Wen Xingchen nodded, “You’re right.”

 

Two minutes later, the last group was ready.

 

With a whistle in his mouth, the combat instructor stood nearby and blew it loudly. “Ready, begin!”

 

Though it started as a joke, Lu Jingning immediately focused when he heard the command.

 

They pushed against each other with all their strength, fully engaged in the duel.

 

As the combat class mainly focused on their physical strength, and they weren’t using their information auras, there wasn’t much risk of accidents.

 

Gradually, the other groups finished their bouts, leaving only the last group.

 

Everyone knew about Lu Jingning’s strength, and the students from the other two classes were surprised to see him holding his ground against Wen Xingchen for so long.

 

After all, Omega’s physical condition was naturally weaker than that of an Alpha. Although Lu Jingning’s S-class aura affected his strength, Wen Xingchen, as an S-class as well, should have been on an equal footing.

 

As the time passed, the contest became more intense.

 

Others began to feel the pressure, but Lu Jingning remained focused.

 

However, he sensed that his stamina was slowly dwindling due to the prolonged battle. Without being certain about Wen Xingchen’s situation, he knew he needed to end this quickly based on his past experiences.

 

Lu Jingning’s eyes filled with determination as he gathered all his strength and focused it in his hands.

 

In the next second, just as he was about to push forward with full force, a deep, hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of the training ground, “Excuse me, Instructor Chen. I’m looking for someone.”

 

At the familiar voice, Wen Xingchen was momentarily distracted.

 

Before he could react, a powerful force came crashing towards him. He didn’t have enough time to respond, and he was completely overwhelmed.

 

Lu Jingning hadn’t expected Wen Xingchen to be distracted at that moment.

 

Helplessly watching the situation unfold, he couldn’t stop the collision. They ended up falling together in a cloud of dust, with Lu Jingning ending up on top of Wen Xingchen in a rather suggestive position.

 

The onlookers were left dumbfounded, witnessing the unexpected spectacle of the two equally matched opponents suddenly entangled in such a compromising manner.

 

The crowd couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow!”

 

This scene is so thrilling! Wen Xingchen lay beneath Lu Jingning, and through their thin clothes, they could feel the erratic heartbeat when they were pressed so close together.

 

Everything happened so suddenly that even the thoughts that had scattered earlier due to the newcomer were instantly pulled back by the intense impact.

 

For a brief moment, their minds seemed to go blank.

 

Lu Jingning seemed a bit dazed as well. Winning was undoubtedly his goal, but the current winning position was far beyond his expectations.

 

What exactly was happening?

 

Lu Jingning’s gaze slowly dropped, and he found himself looking at Wen Xingchen’s graceful neck.

 

Perhaps due to feeling a bit parched, he subconsciously swallowed down.

 

The surroundings fell eerily silent, and time seemed to freeze in that very moment.

 

Both of them were overheated, and even the air around them felt scorching.

 

After what felt like an eternity, Wen Xingchen finally managed to regain his composure and spoke in a calm and restrained manner, “Are you alright? Can you get up?”

 

Only then did Lu Jingning snap out of it.

 

He blinked his eyes and, while getting up from Wen Xingchen’s body, regained his usual arrogance, saying with a hint of pride, “See, I won again!”

 

“Uh, yes, you won,” Wen Xingchen replied absentmindedly. He took a deep breath before standing up from the ground and casually adjusting his clothes.

 

With all eyes on him, Wen Xingchen glanced at the man standing at the entrance.

 

It was an unexpected presence, and everyone was close to exclaiming with excitement.

 

Lu Jingning, however, remained calm, slightly furrowing his brows as the smile on his face receded slightly.

 

The man who had suddenly appeared was none other than Wen Ye, the current Captain of the Imperial Navy Patrol Team.

 

Nobody had expected him to show up here.

 

Wen Ye’s attention never wavered from Wen Xingchen. Only when their eyes met did he speak in a measured tone, “Xingchen, can we talk?”

 

Wen Xingchen casually grabbed a towel to wipe off the sweat from his forehead and replied calmly, “Sure, let’s chat.”

 

The combat instructor seemed familiar with Wen Ye and didn’t mind the interruption of the class. He immediately granted Wen Xingchen’s temporary leave.

 

As they left one after the other, the once-quiet training ground exploded with whispers.

 

“What’s going on? Wen Xingchen knows Wen Ye, the senior student?!”

 

“They both have the surname ‘Wen.’ Could they be brothers?”

 

“Come to think of it, that’s entirely possible…”

 

“My goodness, if that’s true, then it’s no wonder they’re both extraordinary with such fantastic genes!”

 

Amidst the intense discussions, Jian Luan had already slipped away, and Yu Qingcang had no one to ask. He could only approach Lu Jingning with a flattering expression, “Brother Lu, what’s happening? They say that Wen Xingchen is Wen Ye’s younger brother. Is it true or just a rumor?”

 

Lu Jingning was busy drinking water, and upon hearing the question, he gave Yu Qingcang a faint look and retorted with a rhetorical question, “From childhood till now, you’ve been my little brother. Do you think that’s true or just a rumor?”

 

Yu Qingcang: “…”

 

Lu Jingning: “If you love gossiping so much, why don’t you ask Uncle Yu to make you a security guard at the vegetable market? You’d be able to perfectly utilize your developed limbs and simple mind. It’d be a great fit for you.”

 

“…,” Yu Qingcang felt wronged.

 

Big brother, I just asked casually. What did I do to provoke you?

 

You weren’t like this before. Why are you becoming more and more like someone else with such a sharp tongue?

 

T/N: Hey there! There is plenty more where that came from, so stay tuned! And stay healthy! Straighten your posture, so some stretches and drink some water before continuing hehe~
