Chapter 97

August 8, 2023 / / 1 Comment

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t drive when he came there, but now he drove Ning Junyan’s car parked in the hospital parking lot to take Guan Anqin back to school.

       Guan Anqin sat in the passenger seat and was silent all the way.

       Chen Yuncheng knew that she definitely couldn’t be completely at ease, so he persuaded her, “If Ning Junyan said he would be fine, then he will be fine, don’t worry.”

       Guan Anqin turned to look at him, and whispered, “Dr. Ning is very awesome.”

       Chen Yuncheng smiled when he heard the words, “He is very awesome.”

       Guan Anqin seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say it. She only said “thank you” to Chen Yuncheng when he dropped her off at the school gate.

       Chen Yuncheng parked his car at the roadside and saw her walk into the school before turning around and leaving. He didn’t go back to rest. He already called Shi Peng and told him to go and watch over the shop in the market for the past few nights, so Chen Yuncheng drove away from the school and back to the hospital.

       It was definitely impossible to see Guan Anlin at this time, so Chen Yuncheng parked the car in the underground parking lot and took the elevator to Ning Junyan’s department.

       Ning Junyan had not rested at this time, he was in the ICU ward explaining post-operative precautions to the nurses on duty, and only when he came out of the ICU ward and went back to his office did he meet Chen Yuncheng who was waiting for him outside.

       “Why aren’t you going back?” Ning Junyan was a little surprised.

       Chen Yuncheng stood against the wall and looked up at him, “I don’t want to go back alone.”

       Ning Junyan asked, “Want to be with me?”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded.

       The corners of Ning Jun Yan’s mouth curled very slightly as he stretched out his hand towards him, and said in an arrogant tone, “Come.”

       Chen Yuncheng followed Ning Junyan into the office. Ning Junyan extended his hand and locked the door behind him, hugged Chen Yuncheng and sat down on the sofa, and made sure that Chen Yuncheng sat on his lap.

       “You are too tired,” Chen Yuncheng wanted to get up. Ning Junyan had been standing up all night for the surgery, and Chen Yuncheng really didn’t want to put his weight on him again.

       Ning Junyan hugged him tightly and said, “I’m not tired.”

       Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help laughing, “Don’t you think this position is like hugging a child?”

       Ning Junyan asked him, “Aren’t you scared?”

       Chen Yuncheng looked up at him.

       Ning Junyan’s tone was flat, “Hold me if you’re afraid.”

       Chen Yuncheng smiled and raised his arms to wrap his arms around his neck, “I’m not afraid now, I won’t be afraid when you are here.”

       Ning Junyan even patted him on the back, as if to comfort him.

       Chen Yuncheng leaned his head on Ning Junyan’s shoulder and said, “I was really scared just now, just like that time when I failed to pull Zhou Yan back in time, I was very worried that something would happen to Guan Anlin, and I wondered why I didn’t stop him in the first place, knowing Yu Jie is an old fox, and he can’t play him.”

       Ning Junyan said softly, “Precisely because Yu Jie was an old fox, no one expected him to be that rough and straightforward to kill someone, right?”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded, he suddenly thought maybe they were too kind, so they couldn’t predict the evil of human nature. He felt very uncomfortable and thought of Guan Anlin who was lying on the hospital bed, and Zhou Yan who was locked in prison. He even couldn’t help thinking about his parents who died young, and his foster father who had tried to knock Ning Junyan to death with a shovel that night.

       He had seen so many ugly and evil human natures, but he was still kind, so he would be even sadder.

       Chen Yuncheng hugged Ning Junyan’s neck tightly, rubbed his forehead on his shoulder, and called his name, “Ning Junyan.”

       “Hm?” Ning Junyan looked down at him.

       Chen Yuncheng said, “What would I do without you?”

       Without Ning Junyan, Chen Yuncheng might not be able to leave his foster father and foster mother now. He might not continue to steal things, but he certainly wouldn’t be able to live the life he had now, and he might be tormented by his conscience and feelings all the time.

       Ning Junyan said to him, “Without me, there would be other doctors who would have saved Guan Anlin’s life.”

       Chen Yuncheng shook his head, he didn’t just want to talk about Guan Anlin.

       Unexpectedly, Ning Junyan continued, “But without me, no one would have loved you that much.”

       Chen Yuncheng laughed when he heard the words, and asked Ning Junyan, “Am I so unattractive that no one will love me except you?”

       Ning Junyan said in his calm tone, “You have lived until twenty-nine years old, has anyone else loved you besides me?”

       Chen Yuncheng thought for a while, and suddenly felt sad, “No.” He was persuaded by Ning Junyan, “Alright, only you love me, then you have to love me all the time.”

       Ning Junyan kissed him on the forehead and replied, “Alright.”

       Later, Chen Yuncheng fell asleep directly in Ning Junyan’s arms.

       Ning Junyan directly carried him up, left the office, and walked to the duty room on the other side of the corridor.

       The second-line duty room was a separate room with a 1.8-meter bed. The sheets and quilt cover were just changed today, but the pillows and quilts were for one person.

       Ning Junyan put Chen Yuncheng on the bed, took off his shoes, and helped him take off his coat.

       Chen Yuncheng woke up briefly, but the lights in the room were not turned on. He was a little confused about where he was in the dark, only hearing Ning Junyan say to him, “Go back to sleep.” He was tense all night and was now too tired, so he fell asleep again.

       Ning Junyan slept next to him afterwards, sharing a quilt with him, and casually folded his coat as a pillow under his head.

       The two spent the rest of the night quietly on the big bed in the duty room.

       Early the next morning, when Ning Junyan’s phone alarm clock rang, Chen Yuncheng also woke up. He opened his eyes and found with a bewildered look that he had no idea where he was.

       Ning Junyan said to him, “You can still sleep for a while.”

       Chen Yuncheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, “Where is this?”

       “The hospital duty room,” Ning Junyan answered him, giving him a kiss on the lips.

       It took Chen Yuncheng some time to react, and he suddenly felt very embarrassed, afraid that someone would come in and see him, so he quickly rolled over.

       Ning Junyan said to him, “If you don’t want to sleep again then I will take you to breakfast later.”

       Chen Yuncheng nodded.

       Visits in ICU were not allowed, but after nine o’clock in the morning, one could look through the glass windows and see the patients.

       Chen Yuncheng followed Ning Junyan and finished breakfast in the hospital canteen. After Ning Junyan finished his shift, he went in to see Guan Anlin.

       Guan Anlin had already woken up, but his whole body was still very weak. He has a tube inserted into his body and was lying on the hospital bed inhaling oxygen. He noticed Chen Yuncheng standing outside the glass window and tried to raise his hand, but the nurse saw him and scolded him.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t dare to stay for long and left the visiting room of the ICU.

       Ning Junyan got off the night shift and drove home with Chen Yuncheng. After they took a shower and changed into pyjamas, the two of them lay on the bed to catch up on sleep.

       Chen Yuncheng had something on his mind and couldn’t fall asleep for a while, so he reached out to pick up the mobile phone next to the bed, and secretly glanced at Ning Junyan. When he saw that Ning Junyan seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, he planned to get out of bed and go out to make a phone call.

       In the end, just as he moved, Ning Junyan extended his arms and hugged him back.

       “Don’t go,” Ning Junyan said with his eyes closed.

       Chen Yuncheng kissed his eyes, “You sleep, I’ll go out and make some phone calls.”

       Ning Junyan said, “Just do it here.”

       Chen Yuncheng was a little amused, “It will disturb your sleep.”

       Ning Junyan had no intention of letting go of his hand at all.

       Chen Yuncheng had no choice but to lie on the bed, and first called Wu Xiaozhu to arrange work in the store. He said that Guan Anlin had a car accident, but he didn’t say how serious it was. He only said that he might not be back for a while, and he would go there in the afternoon.

       When he was on the phone, Ning Junyan obviously hadn’t fallen asleep, he slipped his hand into the hem of his pyjamas and traced gentle circles against the soft skin of his belly.

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t stop him, and after finishing the phone call with Wu Xiaozhu, he called Long Zhanyu again.

       Before making this call, Chen Yuncheng was a little hesitant. He felt that Long Zhanyu must have been busy last night, and he didn’t know if he was still busy or just had a rest.

       The phone rang twice and was quickly connected, Long Zhanyu’s hoarse voice came through, “Chen Yuncheng?”

       Chen Yuncheng asked him, “How is it going?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “I’m still busy now, I’ll call you when there is a result here.”

       Ning Junyan seemed to hear Chen Yuncheng calling Long Zhanyu and leaned closer to kiss his sensitive earlobe and neck.

       Chen Yuncheng shuddered and raised one hand to cover Ning Junyan’s mouth.

       Ning Junyan frowned unhappily.

       Chen Yuncheng said to Long Zhanyu, “Thank you for your hard work, and take care of your body.”

       After he hung up the phone, he released his hand covering Ning Junyan’s lips.

       Ning Junyan was very displeased, “Why didn’t you tell me to take care of my body?”

       Chen Yuncheng looked at him, “I told you to sleep well.”

       “Can’t sleep, I need to kiss my wife first,” Ning Junyan said, and then kissed Chen Yuncheng’s lips, delaying the two of them from going to bed for another few minutes.

Chapter 25 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 8, 2023 / / 1 Comment

Chapter 25

 

The recruitment process at Mecha Society employs a virtual combat mode. After inputting the mech’s production data, a virtual mech model is automatically constructed. The operator merely needs to synchronize their consciousness with the virtual c0ckpit to engage in simulated combat.

 

Throughout this process, both the detailed specifications of the mech and the operator’s informational and aura fluctuations are reproduced with 100% accuracy, making it one of the most sophisticated mech operating systems in the entire galaxy.

 

This mode not only avoids the massive expenses of mech production and testing but also enables real combat simulations with absolute authenticity, all while ensuring no casualties. Special organizations like the Imperial Navy’s Grand Mecha Society, supported by mecha mobile units, are the only ones able to introduce such advanced equipment successfully.

 

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of onlookers. Hearing that an Omega was participating in mech combat, they curiously gathered around.

 

In the distance, a blond Omega was calmly warming up, while two others stood beside, cheering him on, creating a lively scene.

 

Onlookers: …Did he also come with his own cheerleaders?

 

Yan Hebin stood by for a while but couldn’t wait any longer. He looked at Lu Jingning, who was stretching, and asked, “Do you need me to introduce the mech’s performance to you?”

 

Each mech has distinct attributes, and even a slight deviation in understanding could lead to significant discrepancies.

 

Yan Hebin expected Lu Jingning to nod without hesitation, but instead, he shook his head and said, “No need. There’s not enough time. I’ll figure it out when I’m inside.”

 

“Figure it out?” Yan Hebin’s mouth twitched slightly. Time was indeed limited. On the other side, the receptionist Alpha had already called over a senior student, who pointed towards them, seemingly expressing reluctance.

 

Ren Jin complained indignantly, “Lu-bro, that senior over there bullied Yan Hebin earlier!”

 

Lu Jingning rolled up his sleeves and declared, “Don’t worry! I’ll make them regret it!”

 

“Bullied? Can we use a different word?” Yan Hebin said.

 

With the personnel ready, they all walked towards their respective prepared virtual cabins.

 

As Lu Jingning approached the cabin door, the senior couldn’t resist taunting him, “Junior, let’s finish this quickly in our match, okay? No need to drag it out.”

 

Lu Jingning responded with an innocent smile, “Sure, senior.”

 

Both entered their cabins, and the virtual link hubs descended gently on their heads, establishing a connection with their minds and the virtual mechs.

 

When Lu Jingning opened his eyes, he found himself in the c0ckpit of the mech. He scanned the surroundings but didn’t rush to confront his opponent on the other end of the square. Instead, he quickly familiarized himself with the control environment.

 

Yan Hebin could tell that Lu Jingning had indeed researched a lot about this mech when constructing it. Even the operating system was one commonly used in the military. For someone like Lu Jingning, who had frequent exposure to such systems, it was familiar territory.

 

Lu Jingning’s lips curved into a faint smile as he performed some test movements.

 

Meanwhile, the senior was preparing for the first attack when he saw Lu Jingning’s mech suddenly raise its forearm with no warning. In response, he instinctively performed an agile evasive maneuver.

 

However, after a moment’s wait, nothing happened. He saw Lu Jingning’s silver mech lazily lower its forearm and then raise the sidewall, waving it in a slow, casual manner.

 

It seemed as though he was doing a slow-motion demonstration.

 

The senior: …

 

Is he doing mecha choreography?

 

The holographic scene was projected onto the central observation platform, and even Ren Jin, who was cheering enthusiastically before, couldn’t help but pause, “Lu bro, what’s he doing, showcasing?”

 

Su Jianian hesitated, “I think it’s more like a provocation.”

 

Yan Hebin said, “No, he’s just getting familiar with the controls.”

 

The atmosphere grew silent for a moment. Then, Ren Jin sought reassurance, “Yan Hebin, Lu bro will definitely win, right?”

 

Yan Hebin looked at the silver virtual mech on the field, a hint of a smile barely visible on his face. “Of course, he’ll win.”

 

After his previous defeat, Yan Hebin acknowledged that his pheromone level couldn’t handle intense mech control. However, now, the person on the field was Lu Jingning, and he was more than capable!

 

With his familiarity with the controls, Lu Jingning simultaneously utilized the mech’s arms to launch a series of attacks, pushing the black mech to retreat continuously. A faint electric field enveloped the silver armor.

 

Just when the senior was caught off guard, the silver mech suddenly exerted force, and the situation between the two instantly reversed.

 

Lu Jingning never left any room for doubt. Once he became familiar with the control system, his several mech arms launched a coordinated attack, driving the black mech back steadily. A faint electric field enveloped the silver armor.

 

Watching the holographic image, everyone felt the intense confrontation and unconsciously exclaimed.

 

Aren’t they saying that an Omega is fighting an Alpha? How come it looks like an evenly matched battle? It doesn’t seem like it’s being staged!

 

The senior’s eyes were already filled with shock. His original plan was to use his absolute strength advantage to force the Omega’s mech out of the field, just as he did with Yan Hebin before.

 

However, to his surprise, during that brief probing exchange, he felt a force seemingly stronger than his own.

 

Still somewhat dazed, the senior found himself unable to react in time when the silver mech suddenly exerted force. Two high-speed missiles were launched at him.

 

Lu Jingning’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile. The electric current from his mech’s arms instantly gathered onto his legs. As the missiles approached, the silver mech’s image blurred for a moment. In the next second, it appeared ten meters away, perfectly avoiding all attacks.

 

Onlookers were astonished. “Did he just teleport?”

 

Space teleportation was one of the most advanced technologies in the field of mecha. Although Lu Jingning’s teleportation distance was extremely short, it was undoubtedly this highly advanced technique.

 

After a brief silence, the entire arena erupted.

 

What kind of mech is this? It’s a masterpiece!

 

Didn’t it come from a freshman? And it even has a space teleportation device?!

 

It should be noted that the number of people who could master this technology in the entire empire was probably not more than ten!

 

Yan Hebin could feel the curious gazes from all around, observing the active mecha battles on the field. Despite the enthusiasm displayed during the fights, his expression held a certain complexity.

 

He never expected that Lu Jingning could display such mastery over his mecha during his very first test drive. At this moment, even with numerous opportunities to defeat the opponent directly, Lu Jingning showed no haste in ending the battle. He seemed to understand the other person’s intention.

 

It was a grand performance.

 

As expected, after the electromagnetic sensing system and spatial teleportation, a series of new transformations followed, such as enhanced arm strength, laser beams, solidified defenses, and more. One after another, these new forms were presented during the battle, turning it into a comprehensive showcase of Yan Hebin’s mecha.

 

Finally, amidst the dazzled senses of everyone, a climax was reached.

 

Several consecutive particle beams were fired, completely disintegrating the enemy’s mecha, and the combat came to an official end.

 

Even after exiting the simulation system, the senior student still found it challenging to regain his composure.

 

Looking back on the entire process, he had been caught in an immensely passive rhythm from beginning to end. The opponent’s attacks were exceedingly fierce, leaving him almost no time to catch his breath or defend himself.

 

Anyone familiar with mecha combat knew very well that this high-frequency combat rhythm would heavily deplete an individual’s information-element and energy.

 

And to accomplish such a splendid series of maneuvers, one could only wonder at the level of proficiency Yan Hebin possessed with his information-element.

 

But the most astonishing revelation was that the person inside the opposing c0ckpit was actually an Omega?!

 

The senior student almost wore a bewildered expression as he stepped out of the virtual c0ckpit. Upon turning around, he noticed the adjacent c0ckpit’s door opening, and he locked eyes with the person inside.

 

Lu Jingning had a refreshed expression, showing no signs of having just experienced an intense combat confrontation. Meeting the senior student’s gaze with a friendly smile, he took the initiative to greet him, “Ah, senior, I apologize for not achieving the quick victory you requested.”

 

“…”

 

The senior student couldn’t help but clutch his chest.

 

Damn, every word hit hard, it was exasperating!

 

After holding back for a while, he finally walked over, asking with an awkward expression, “Classmate, you handle your mecha quite well. You must have had a lot of time to familiarize yourself with it before, right?”

 

“Familiarize? Not at all,” Lu Jingning looked surprised, “I just had my first encounter with this mecha. Did you not notice that I took some time to get acquainted with the operating system at the beginning? Luckily, I adapt quickly; otherwise, I might have really lost!”

 

Recalling the opponent’s strange actions at the start, the senior student now understood what was going on. However, this realization seemed to magnify the impact of his defeat.

 

Originally, he was also using a temporarily assigned mecha today. If the opponent had prepared with sufficient man-machine adaptation beforehand, losing to an Omega freshman might have been somewhat acceptable. But now, the opponent claimed to have just encountered the mecha for the first time.

 

The senior student’s expression couldn’t help but reveal a touch of astonishment, struggling to find the right words to respond.

 

Just as he felt immensely awkward, a voice suddenly came from behind, “Wan Chen, what are you standing here for? Not embarrassed enough?”

 

The senior student named Wan Chen’s back stiffened immediately as he turned to face the newcomer with a wry smile, “Vice President.”

 

The speaker’s tone carried an indescribable arrogance, with sharp brows and eyes, and a clean and tidy crew cut, adorned with a conspicuous red earring. This was none other than the Vice President of the Mecha Society, Yu Zeyang.

 

His appearance immediately drew the attention of everyone present, and without further ado, he grabbed Wan Chen by the collar, casually tossing him to the female Alpha following behind, and said in a low, oppressive tone, “An Huo, take this kid to the registration area outside. He’s being a burden by staying here.”

 

Wan Chen looked aggrieved and drooped his head, “Vice President…”

 

As Yu Zeyang’s sharp gaze swept over, Wan Chen immediately choked back the rest of his words.

 

The female Alpha named An Huo couldn’t help but chuckle softly, leading him out while soothingly saying, “Alright, alright, stop complaining. Don’t you know the Vice President’s temperament by now? Speak less and do more, be obedient.”

 

Standing aside and witnessing the whole process, Lu Jingning’s eyebrows couldn’t help but lift with interest.

 

If it were just a fierce but timid person, he wouldn’t have paid much attention, but the Vice President of the Mecha Society had always exuded a strong presence. Clearly, he was not someone who merely pretended to be imposing.

 

Moreover, it had been quite a while since Lu Jingning encountered someone even more arrogant than himself. This Alpha seemed quite intriguing.

 

As Yu Zeyang turned his gaze toward him, Lu Jingning leaned against the virtual c0ckpit door, lazily tilting his head as he observed.

 

His expression was undeniably audacious, to the point of arrogance.

 

When their eyes met, it seemed like invisible sparks were flying.

 

Yu Zeyang never expected that he would be challenged by an Omega one day. A faint twitch of the veins on his forehead and his eyes darkened as he said, “Kid, as the Vice President, I must congratulate you for passing our basic test.”

 

Lu Jingning naturally responded without hesitation, “Thank you, thank you.”

 

‘We are delighted that the Mecha Club has caught your attention and been considered. It is indeed a great honor for us,” You Zeyang said. Suddenly, his tone changed without warning, “However, I must regretfully express that our club”s recruitment plan for this year does not reserve any positions for Omegas. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with Omegas, but considering various factors, Alphas and Betas are more suitable for our club. Therefore, I’m sorry to inform you that the Mecha Club cannot accept you.’’

 

After he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into an abrupt silence.

 

Lu Jingning and the others couldn’t help but nervously observe Lu Jingning’s expression.

 

They thought he might erupt at any moment, but instead, he just chuckled without a hint of anger and said, ‘’Oh? So, Senior, what you mean is, regardless of the final results of the assessment, you won’t accept us just because we are Omegas?’’

 

You Zeyang was also straightforward, ‘’That’s right.’’

 

Upon hearing these words, Yan Hebin’s expression unavoidably dimmed for a moment.

 

Still maintaining his smiling expression, Lu Jingning retorted sharply, ‘’Nonsense!’’

 

You Zeyang’s brows furrowed, ‘’Mind your tone.’’

 

‘’Why should I mind? What if I don’t?’’ Lu Jingning had never liked this kind of Alpha, and today he seemed ready to explode at any moment. Without any restraint, he rushed forward and forcefully pushed You Zeyang against the wall.

 

With one swift move, he grabbed the collar of You Zeyang’s clothes, his expression full of disdain. ‘’I’ve never heard of any club having such ridiculous rules! Look down on Omegas, huh? Fine, I’m right here today. How about we have another match to see who the real weakling is?’’

 

You Zeyang couldn’t believe Lu Jingning would suddenly act this way. Caught off guard, he found himself pressed against the wall in full view of everyone. Regaining his composure, he looked annoyed. ‘’Let go of me!’’

 

Unyielding, Lu Jingning said, ‘’Let go? Simple, let’s fight again!’’

 

You Zeyang was already a hot-headed person, but seeing that Lu Jingning was an Omega, he restrained himself slightly. Now that the latter was trying to trample all over him, he was thoroughly provoked.

 

However, before he could react, a slender hand with five fingers appeared in his field of view.

 

In a split second, You Zeyang felt a tug on his clothes, and just like that, he was lifted off the ground without a sound.

 

Lu Jingning’s feet left the ground unexpectedly, and his arrogant expression gradually turned to bewilderment. When he turned around, he was met with a pair of slightly smiling eyes. ‘’Oops, sorry, our Vice President isn’t very good with words and may have offended our new classmates.’’

 

This face looked exceedingly harmless, with its slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes. If it weren’t for the towering height that symbolized genes, one could mistake the person for an Omega.

 

Although Lu Jingning was sure he had never seen this person before, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

 

After staring at him for a while, the person cleared his throat and gently said, ‘’Apologies for not introducing myself earlier. I am Bing Yunlin, the President of the Mecha Club. Please feel free to call me Bing. I look forward to working with both of you in the future.’’

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t help but smile, ‘Can you put me down first?’

 

‘’Ah, sorry.’’ Bing Yunlin said and gently released his grip.

 

Lu Jingning returned to the ground and looked at You Zeyang, who had suddenly become as quiet as a chicken. It seemed he had discovered a completely new food chain relationship.

 

Curiosity got the better of Lu Jingning, and he took a leisurely step closer to the seemingly harmless President of the Mecha Club. He couldn’t help but tease, ‘’So, President, with you just said… I’ll be looking forward to working with the both of you?’’

 

Bing Yunlin replied with a gentle smile, ‘’Yes, welcome to the Mecha Club. Let’s get along in the future.’’

 

Yan Hebin was slightly taken aback, ‘’Both of us?’’

 

‘’After watching the battle just now, I have to admit that your control skills are indeed dominant, but the creator of this mecha is an absolute mecha genius,’’ Bing Yunlin said, glancing at Yan Hebin with slightly curved eyes. ‘’It was a mistake for us not to recruit you earlier. I’m here to apologize on behalf of my members. At the same time, I sincerely hope you will consider joining our club. I wonder if this classmate would be willing to give us another chance to invite you?’’

 

Yan Hebin replied with a smile, ‘’Of course, I’d be happy to.’’

 

‘’…’’ Lu Jingning had initially thought the President was a sensible person and wanted to say something against the Mecha Club, but upon seeing You Zeyang’s hate-filled expression, he suddenly changed his mind.

 

Actually, staying here to provoke people seemed quite interesting?

 

So, he changed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and with a light, carefree whistle, he leisurely started walking away, saying, ‘’Alright, we’re done here. Let’s go.’’

 

Ren Jin and Su Jianan had been watching in amazement and finally snapped out of their daze, hurriedly catching up.

 

Only Yan Hebin didn’t forget to nod to the two seniors inside the venue and said, ‘’Goodbye, seniors.’’

 

Bing Yunlin smiled, ‘’See you at our club’s activities.’’

 

You Zeyang, already displeased, suddenly saw Lu Jingning turn back at the doorway, making a disdainful and enormous grimace at him.

 

That arrogant face seemed to be saying, ‘’Aren’t you annoyed?’’

 

You Zeyang clenched his teeth, ‘’…This damn kid!’’

 

Suppressing the urge to rush up and beat him up in front of Bing Yunlin, You Zeyang grumbled, ‘President, why do you insist on recruiting those two Omegas?’

 

Bing Yunlin’s smile had already faded completely, and he lowered his eyelashes slightly, ‘’Those two are different from other Omegas. I have my reasons.’’

 

You Zeyang protested, ‘’What reasons could there be? Have you forgotten what happened with Wen Cu? What if…’’

 

His words stopped abruptly under the sudden, icy pressure of pheromones around him.

 

‘’There won’t be any “what if” this time!’’ Bing Yunlin’s tone also softened, ‘’Rest assured, I can guarantee that such a thing won’t happen again.’’

 

In the intimidating atmosphere, You Zeyang felt a cold sweat on his back, but remembering the accident from years ago, his expression also turned melancholic, ‘’I hope so.’’

Chapter 50

August 7, 2023 / / 0 Comments

       Suo Yang is not a social person, but he likes to meet friends with Shen Huiming.

       Whether it’s his friend or Shen Huiming’s friend.

       He understood this behaviour as a way of ‘integrating into the other person’s life’. Although love was a matter between two individuals, each person had their own social circle. A person’s willingness to introduce another person to his friends might not necessarily be true love, but if one was not willing to do even this thing, then it must not be true love.

       Suo Yang thought so.

       There’s always something wrong with hiding the person you’re in love with.

       Therefore, even Suo Yang, who didn’t like socializing, still happily went to meet Shen Huiming’s friends.

       For example, Jiang Tongyan.

       Suo Yang and Jiang Tongyan were considered acquaintances. They met on a ‘blind date’ and lost contact after that. According to Shen Huiming, Jiang Tongyan was ‘preparing for a relationship’.

       “What do you mean by preparing for a relationship?” Suo Yang sat on the sofa and watched Shen Huiming unpack the takeaway food from the restaurant.

       “It means that someone is courting him,” Shen Huiming smiled, “but the relationship hasn’t been confirmed yet.”

       Suo Yang smiled, “Got it.”

       He took the milk handed by Shen Huiming and took a sip, “Did you tell him about the two of us?”

       “Yes, he hates it with a passion.” Shen Huiming sat next to Suo Yang, leaned over, and took a sip of the milk in his cup.

       “Why?”

       “What else could it be? That curse.” Speaking of this matter, Shen Huiming felt that it was really not their problem this time, and he also felt that Jiang Tongyan hadn’t paid attention to Suo Yang from the beginning, after all, they knew each other well. On the day they met, an even more abrasive guy appeared as well.

       Suo Yang was of course skeptical about the so-called ‘curse’, but it was fine to joke about it as an interesting storyline and have nothing to do with it. Life couldn’t always be tense and talk about serious things.

       “I called him yesterday, and he was still upset.”

       Suo Yang held his cup in both hands and took a bite of the sandwich that Shen Huiming brought to his mouth, “Didn’t he already have a fling?”

       “It is said that the relationship between the two is very complicated. We can ask him about it when we meet later.”

       When the two arrived in New York, the first thing was to go back to the hotel to make love, and the second thing was to meet Jiang Tongyan.

       Suo Yang actually didn’t care, but Shen Huiming always wanted to show off, so he took Suo Yang’s hand to meet Jiang Tongyan, pissing the guy off.

       At Zhou Mo’s birthday party, Jiang Tongyan even said that he would compete fairly with Shen Huiming, but the next day he slept with his little dance partner from the previous night, and the two have been entangled ever since.

       Although Shen Huiming was not a person who loves gossip, he still wanted to hear Jiang Tongyan’s gossip.

       After all, fighting with a love rival was a lot of fun.

       At three o’clock in the afternoon New York time, Suo Yang and Shen Huiming walked out of the hotel gate.

       The two took a taxi to the restaurant. Fifteen minutes ago, Jiang Tongyan sent a message saying that he had already left.

       Jiang Tongyan was considerate, knowing that these two were from other places, he took care of them when choosing a restaurant, and chose a place not too far from their hotel.

       When Shen Huiming walked in holding hands with Suo Yang, Jiang Tongyan was already waiting there with a dark face.

       “Still holding hands!” Jiang Tongyan looked at Shen Huiming and curled his lips in disgust.

       Suo Yang stood beside Shen Huiming and gave Jiang Tongyan a professional smile.

       “…Here we go again!” Jiang Tongyan rubbed his eyebrows, then shook hands with Suo Yang, “Long time no see, hope you’re well.”

       Suo Yang smiled and shook his hand, then sat down with Shen Huiming.

       “What do you mean here we go again?” Shen Huiming asked after sitting down.

       Jiang Tongyan raised his hand to signal the waiter that it was time to serve.

       “Already ordered?” Shen Huiming was a little surprised.

       “Well, how thoughtful I am, I’ve ordered all the classic dishes in this house.” Jiang Tongyan said, “Forgive me for taking the liberty…”

       He turned to Suo Yang, “Handsome, do you usually smile at old Shen in that professional way?”

       Suo Yang originally planned to just sit obediently and listen to their chat, but he didn’t expect the topic to suddenly turn to himself.

       “It’s fine.” Suo Yang looked at Shen Huiming.

       “You’re just jealous.” Shen Huiming was usually a sophisticated person with the typical qualities of a mature, composed, and successful young man. However, as Jiang Tongyan was his classmate for many years, and there was an unresolved ‘curse’ between them, whenever they met, they teased each other, behaving childishly.

       “Me? Jealous?” Jiang Tongyan looked at Suo Yang, and said earnestly, “Suo Yang, I really made a mistake. I shouldn’t have come back to New York. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let him get to the pavilion closest to the water and enjoys bright moonlight first1he was saying that Shen Huiming is using his proximity to gain more advantages.”

       Suo Yang lowered his head and smiled slightly, without saying anything.

       “Stop flattering yourself, even if you live next door to him, you won’t be able to catch up with him.” Shen Huiming picked up the red wine on the table and sniffed it, “This wine is not bad.”

       “Of course, I brought it for myself.” Jiang Tongyan said, “I didn’t even bother to open it when other people asked me for dinner.”

       Jiang Tongyan looked at the two people sitting in front of him and suddenly felt so sad that he wanted to smoke.

       But this restaurant was non-smoking.

       This made him even more sad.

       “Are you in a bad mood?” Shen Huiming asked.

       “It would be strange if I could be good.”

       “Don’t tell me it’s because of the two of us.”

       Jiang Tongyan looked at them and picked up the cup, “Take a sip before we talk.”

       The three clinked glasses lightly, and each took a sip.

       “I’m not kidding, it’s good for you two to be together.” Jiang Tongyan said, “At least old Shen won’t play with other people’s feelings. I feel relieved that Suo Yang will follow you.”

       “…What does it have to do with you?” Shen Huiming sneered.

       Jiang Tongyan also laughed, “This is just speaking from the heart.”

       “What? Have you been played with your feelings?”

       When Shen Huiming said this, his tone was so brisk that Suo Yang couldn’t bear it any longer, and he lightly pinched his thigh.

       Jiang Tongyan rolled his eyes, “Can’t you be more tactful?”

       “We are all old classmates, there is no need for euphemisms.”

       The exquisite dishes were served, and the three chatted while eating.

       Jiang Tongyan said to Suo Yang, “During Zhou Mo’s birthday, do you remember old Shen’s dance partner?”

       “That’s your dancing partner.” Shen Huiming took over the conversation, “My dancing partner is Suo Yang.”

       Suo Yang smiled slightly, “I remember, he is quite a cute boy.”

       “…Cute?” Jiang Tongyan gritted his teeth and said, “That’s a little scumbag.”

       The two people sitting opposite Jiang Tongyan were a little surprised, especially Shen Huiming.

       “What’s the matter? Did he treat you poorly?” Shen Huiming couldn’t hold it back. He never thought that such a little boy who seemed to have no brains could make Jiang Tongyan, the fox, eat his words, “I remember you said you were going to go back and sleep with him.”

       Suo Yang didn’t understand, so he turned to look at Shen Huiming.

       Shen Huiming came close to Suo Yang’s ear and explained to him, “The night of Zhou Mo’s birthday the two of them got a room, but I don’t remember whether they did it or not. The next day before I met with you I had breakfast with this guy and when we parted ways I was getting ready to meet with you and he threatened to go back to the hotel and sleep with someone else.”

       Suo Yang looked at Jiang Tongyan dumbfounded.

       “At that time, he was being greasy and sticking it to me, you all saw it, right?”

       Shen Huiming said very calmly, “I didn’t see it.”

       Suo Yang laughed again because of his words.

       Jiang Tongyan glanced at Suo Yang and understood that what Shen Huiming said was true, even if he lived next door to Suo Yang, he was still no match for Shen Huiming.

       Different, completely different.

       Suo Yang’s smile to Jiang Tongyan was the same as his smile to other people. He was very handsome, impeccably handsome, and the arc of every smile was exactly the same, but when Suo Yang smiles because of Shen Huiming, the smile was real It overflows from the eyes, not just from the corners of the mouth.

       He was really jealous.

       But what he envied was not that Shen Huiming could have Suo Yang, but that they could have each other.

       “I did sleep with him.” Jiang Tongyan sighed, “Before we slept, he was still insisting that I take responsibility. But after we slept, he sat there, wrapped in the blanket, and coldly told me that we couldn’t be together.”

       “Why?” Shen Huiming and Suo Yang asked almost at the same time.

       “He said that we were acting on impulse, it was the passion generated when we were dizzy.” Jiang Tongyan rolled his eyes, “He said a quickie would be fine, and that a relationship wasn’t necessary.”

       Jiang Tongyan frowned, tapped on the table lightly, and asked Shen Huiming, “You tell me, is he a scumbag?”

       Both Shen Huiming and Suo Yang were silent, and they both had speculations about this matter in their hearts.

       Of course, it was impossible for Suo Yang to say anything, but Shen Huiming didn’t care if Jiang Tongyan felt ashamed.

       He said directly, “Do you have a problem with that? If so, it is completely understandable for people to do so.”

       “You’re the one who has the problem!” Jiang Tongyan rolled his eyes at him, “You didn’t even see him, he was so excited at the time, he hugged me and called me gege and husband, I’m fvcking…”

       Jiang Tongyan suddenly realised that his scale might be a little too big, which would damage his image in Suo Yang’s heart.

       Although he and Suo Yang would not have any stories, after all, they were former blind date partners, so he still need to leave a good impression.

       Shen Huiming provoked him on purpose, “This is all your group’s words, the judgement of the case still has to take evidence from many sides, we can’t believe everything you say.”

       Jiang Tongyan glanced at him disdainfully, “I can see that you are so conceited right now.”

       Jiang Tongyan said, “Are all of you in love like this? Looking down on us who are single?”

       Suo Yang smiled softly, and said to Shen Huiming, “Don’t make fun of him.”

       Shen Huiming obediently agreed, and after that, he didn’t mess around with Jiang Tongyan again.

       After the meal, Jiang Tongyan was so envious.

       When the three of them walked out of the restaurant, he still lit a cigarette.

       “Let me ask a serious question.” Jiang Tongyan said, “How do you distinguish between love and passion?”

       Suo Yang looked at him, and then at Shen Huiming.

       Shen Huiming turned around and asked Jiang Tongyan, “Do you really like that boy?”

       “Boy, what boy, he said he was 20, but he was actually 27.” Jiang Tongyan said, “He is a liar.”

       “Even if he’s a little liar, don’t you also let him deceive your heart?” Shen Huiming squeezed Jiang Tongyan’s shoulder and said, “Whether it is love or passion, you know it best yourself. If you want the other party to know it, it’s up to you to convey it. What kind of message did you give him?”

       When Suo Yang looked at Jiang Tongyan’s sad face, he finally said, “None of us are experts in love, but if a person is really loved, he will feel it.”

       Just like him and Shen Huiming.

       At first, Suo Yang couldn’t accurately distinguish momentary passion from sincere love, but Shen Huiming taught him how to do it.

       “Will it be?” Jiang Tongyan frowned at them.

       “Try it.” Shen Huiming raised his hand and put his arms around Suo Yang, and the two of them leaned together, looking at Jiang Tongyan, “Just in case.”

Chapter 24 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 7, 2023 / / 2 Comments

Chapter 24

 

The Imperial Navy has always had a close relationship with the Military Department, making it a crucial talent pool. Therefore, those internal societies, although claiming to be campus organizations, often have certain influential support behind them. In a sense, they serve as important channels for the Empire’s major core departments to attract talents in advance. For example, the Combat Society is sponsored by the Individual Combat Division, and the Mecha Society is backed by the Mecha Mobile Division. The Entertainment Society serves as a fixed recruitment point for the Interstellar Performing Arts Troupe. As for the renowned Imperial Patrol Guard, many members already possess official military rank medals issued by the Empire, allowing them to directly enter key departments upon graduation.

 

Upon returning with the materials handed out by the counselor, Lu Jingning carefully studied them and hesitated as he singled out a few societies that seemed particularly intriguing.

 

Yan Hebin came back just in time, and Lu Jingning greeted him, asking, “Yan Hebin, did the teacher talk to you about the societies? Do you have any preferences?”

 

Yan Hebin, standing upright as he placed his shoes neatly at the entrance, replied without hesitation, “Mecha Society.”

 

Lu Jingning noticed that his roommate genuinely had a strong affinity for mechas; even when they chose their branches, Yan Hebin decisively opted for the mecha division, closely connecting himself with mechas even in the society.

 

In truth, the Mecha Society was also within Lu Jingning’s considerations, but its recruitment assessment involved two aspects: mecha construction and combat. As for mecha construction, it was undoubtedly something he didn’t need to think about. Making mechas? Compared to dismantling them, he might even be more skilled in the latter. However, virtual mecha combat, on the other hand, was a piece of cake for him.

 

If this were a usual time, Lu Jingning wouldn’t worry at all. However, he was currently going through a turbulent phase. Despite the temporary relief from Wen Xingchen’s mark, he hadn’t attempted to activate the pheromone aura again. Who knew if he might unintentionally stir up some trouble?

 

Lu Jingning felt his wallet had become particularly fragile lately. It might be better to play it safe. He sighed and said, “I’ll think about it some more.”

 

Yan Hebin responded with a simple “okay” and sat down at his desk, opening his light brain.

 

Lu Jingning had noticed that Yan Hebin had been spending a lot of time in the mecha construction system over the past few days. At first, he marveled at the diligence of a top student compared to a lousy students like himself. However, it wasn’t until now that he finally understood. With great interest, he leaned over and asked, “Oh? Are you planning to use this mecha for the Mecha Society’s interview?”

 

Yan Hebin replied with an unwavering tone, “Yes, I’ll do the final calibration tonight. I’m not sure if it will work.”

 

Lu Jingning took a glance at the appearance of the mecha and gave an unequivocal affirmation, “I think it’ll be fine!”

 

Yan Hebin’s tone remained indifferent, “Thanks.”

 

Lu Jingning: “…”

 

Why such an indifferent response? He genuinely thought it was fine, buddy!

 

Although he was indeed a mediocre student in mecha construction, he had seen hundreds of mechas, if not thousands, that his boss had touched. Just by looking at the structure and configuration of Yan Hebin’s mecha, he could tell it was a powerful creation. Although it might seem a bit immature now, with some guidance from a professional, it would undoubtedly become a formidable weapon on the battlefield.

 

However, from Yan Hebin’s reaction, it seemed like he didn’t take Lu Jingning’s praise to heart.

 

Lu Jingning thought it over and decided to drop the topic. He didn’t say much, just secretly pondering in his heart.

 

This kind of interview seemed quite interesting; maybe he should go with them to check out the Mecha Society’s recruitment event if he had time.

 

Unfortunately, the lively event didn’t come to fruition. In the afternoon, just as Lu Jingning was preparing to head out, he suddenly received a communication from the school.

 

Yan Hebin had already gotten ready with his roommates from the neighboring dorms, Ren Jin and Su Jianian, waiting at the door. Seeing Lu Jingning not moving for a long time, Ren Jin couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you coming with us?”

 

“Go ahead; I don’t think I can make it. The counselor asked me to go to the Academic Affairs Office urgently,” Lu Jingning said with some confusion. “I wonder why they’re calling me now. I’ve already compensated for the damages from the mecha class. I haven’t caused any other trouble, have I?”

 

Ren Jin was Lu Jingning’s number one fan, so when he heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. “Alright then, we’ll go first. Lu Bro, if you finish early, make sure to come and join us.”

 

Lu Jingning patted his head. “Got it, I’ll be there if I can make it.”

 

Ren Jin’s face visibly brightened, and he waved happily. “Goodbye, Lu Bro! We’ll wait for you!”

 

Lu Jingning watched them leave and then checked the communication records, furrowing his brows. He turned around and opened the wardrobe. There, he spotted the two jackets hanging in the corner. He paused for a moment.

 

He hadn’t noticed it before, but unknowingly, Wen Xingchen had already borrowed two jackets from him, and they were still here. He wasn’t sure if he had enough clothes to wear. Maybe he should return them at some point?

 

However, the request Wen Xingchen made when borrowing them echoed in his mind: “If you’re returning them, remember to wash them first.”

 

After a moment’s contemplation, he casually grabbed a jacket from the side and decisively closed the closet.

 

Forget it, he wouldn’t return them. Who knew if that guy would be unsatisfied with how he washed them? It would be such a hassle.

 

…

 

Visiting the Academic Affairs Office was a common occurrence for Lu Jingning. He had been there countless times in his life, so he didn’t feel any pressure. However, as he entered the office and saw it filled with people who didn’t look like school staff, he couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

 

There were a mix of male and females as well as old and young people.. If one didn’t know better, they might think they had mistakenly walked into some kind of all-age matchmaking event.

 

After a moment of hesitation, he finally managed to utter three words, “Excuse me?”

 

Seeing Lu Jingning about to leave after speaking, the head of the Academic Affairs Office, Zhu Zhai, hurriedly called him back. “Wait, don’t leave. They’re all here to see you.”

 

Lu Jingning looked at the group of people, a puzzled expression on his face. “Everyone here… who are they?”

 

At the moment Lu Jingning spoke, everyone’s eyes were already on him, and their expressions were quite complicated.

 

Finally, a middle-aged woman stepped forward, wearing a smile as she asked, “You must be Lu Jingning?”

 

Seeing the woman, everything became clear to Lu Jingning. He couldn’t help but feel like laughing, and he raised an eyebrow as he looked at Zhu Zhai. “Teacher, are you hoping I’ll step in to plead for Zhong Feng?”

 

Zhu Zhai’s expression didn’t look good either. He was well aware of how serious the matter was. Making Lu Jingning accept this offer to defuse the situation was something he couldn’t say out loud.

 

An elderly person, the oldest among those present, wobbled his way out of the crowd and kindly smiled, saying, “Lu, my dear student, you see, our Fengfeng already knows he was wrong. Ultimately, you haven’t suffered any injuries. Why not show some kindness and help resolve the matter? If you want any compensation, feel free to tell us, and we’ll do our best to meet your demands.”

 

Facing this seemingly well-intentioned face, Lu Jingning couldn’t muster a smile. He sneered slightly and said, “Zhong Feng knows he was wrong, and I haven’t suffered any injuries? Grandpa, you have quite the way with words. The way you downplay such a serious matter makes it seem like it’s not a big deal at all.”

 

The old man’s expression stiffened involuntarily, “Young man, how can you speak to your elders like this?”

 

“I speak to people in a way they deserve. Don’t try to pull the ‘respect your elders’ card with me.” Lu Jingning didn’t buy into the act of showing deference to the elderly. His smile vanished completely, and he continued, “This time, I indeed came out unscathed, but does it have anything to do with Zhong Feng? The only reason I didn’t face any harm is that they happened to lock me in the warehouse and not someone else. Instead of feeling grateful, you should be thankful. Imagine if they had chosen another Omega; things would have escalated to a much more severe extent, and the consequences would be more than just a few years in prison.”

 

The old man was rendered speechless by Lu Jingning’s words, clutching his cane tightly, shaking with anger.

 

The middle-aged woman couldn’t stand by either, “Things can be negotiated; there’s no need to be so absolute in your words. Don’t you know…”

 

Lu Jingning interrupted her with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “Indeed, many things can be negotiated, but not this one. As far as I’m concerned, even a few years in prison would be a light punishment for scum like Zhong Feng. If you keep pestering me, I might just go directly to the Supreme Court of the Imperial Star for an appeal. Who knows, they might extend the sentence by another ten years?”

 

Under his extremely arrogant attitude, the middle-aged woman’s face turned pale.

 

The Academic Affairs Director, Zhu Zhai, had been silently listening nearby. At this moment, he couldn’t help but cast a few more glances at Lu Jingning, filled with astonishment. Such a defiant Omega, he had never seen something like this before.

 

It was the old man who first regained his composure. He looked deeply at Lu Jingning and lowered his voice, “Young man, I advise you to discuss this matter with your family. You’re still young, and it’s understandable to act without considering the consequences. However, sometimes, you need to think about other people in your family. If your actions bring trouble to your parents, that wouldn’t be good.”

 

Lu Jingning could naturally sense the underlying threat in his words. Suddenly, he seemed to understand where Zhong Feng’s audacity came from. People like him could infiltrate the top military academy of the Imperial Fleet for a reason, with certain background support. It was hardly surprising.

 

However, he couldn’t help but find the old man’s attitude amusingly ironic. It turned out that it wasn’t wise to threaten just anyone, as it had backfired on him.

 

Although Lu Kongbin’s position wasn’t too high, he was a first-class hero of the empire, receiving the highest respect wherever he went. Not to mention his grandfather, who held significant influence even after retiring from the top echelons.

 

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he deliberately concealed his family background. Apart from the old principal, probably only a few top leaders at the Imperial Fleet Academy knew about his true background.

 

Unexpectedly, the members of the Zhong family couldn’t uncover his background and came to his door with unwarranted confidence, attempting to pressure him. Did they really believe that having some power could crush anyone?

 

Lu Jingning truly wanted to tell them that he hadn’t informed his father about this incident and, in fact, it was a virtuous act of repaying hostility with kindness. If Lu Kongbin ever found out, once he flew into a rage, not only would Zhong Feng never walk out of prison again, but even the entire Zhong family would likely be expelled from the military in a quick and silent manner.

 

Despite his kind nature, why couldn’t people understand him?

 

While Lu Jingning silently contemplated, he had a more profound realization of the term “idiot.” Seeing him remaining silent, the Zhong family members thought he was finally scared, and their arrogance intensified.

 

Just as they were about to speak again, someone at the door calmly interjected, “Sorry, I’m a bit late.”

 

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Jingning instinctively looked over to see Wen Xingchen standing at the entrance, dressed in black, which accentuated his tall and perfectly proportioned figure.

 

As the top-ranking freshman, Wen Xingchen was, of course, familiar with the Academic Affairs Director. However, Zhu Zhai appeared somewhat perplexed, saying, “Wen Xingchen? I didn’t ask you to come.”

 

Wen Xingchen smiled faintly, “I heard about the matter involving Zhong Feng’s coercion of an Omega, and as a witness, I came to take a look.”

 

By using the term “coercion,” Wen Xingchen instantly escalated the severity of the crime, leaving the expressions of the Zhong family members looking less happy.

 

The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth, “Young man, please be mindful of your choice of words!”

 

Wen Xingchen’s lips curled into a slight smile, “Ah, my apologies. Perhaps I used the wrong description.”

 

The woman’s complexion improved a little, before she heard him speak slowly again: “It’s not seduction, it’s gang r4p3.”

 

“Pfft—!”

 

The surroundings fell into a strange silence, but there was a discordant voice bursting out laughing.

 

Lu Jingning noticed the gazes from around him, and waved his hands apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I couldn’t hold back. Please do continue. Go on, go on!”

 

It was probably around this time that he started liking Wen Xingchen’s vicious mouth.

 

Really, why was he so likable? He liked it so much that he couldn’t wait to pounce on him and kiss him hard.

 

He ignited the people from the Zhong family with just a smile. The two men behind him rolled up their sleeves menacingly and said, “How dare you speak like that!”

 

Lu Jingning could feel the pervasive scent of Alpha pheromones in the air, and suddenly raised an eyebrow as if seeking trouble.

 

This was getting interesting.

 

The two men released their pheromones, partly to pressure Wen Xingchen, and partly to stimulate Lu Jingning, the Omega.

 

Unfortunately, due to the excellent confidentiality measures taken during this incident, they had no chance to get to know Lu Jingning at all. Seeing that he remained composed and unaffected, they began to feel uncertain.

 

As they attempted to release more pheromones to test the situation, an overwhelming aura suddenly emanated, completely suppressing them. They subconsciously took a step back.

 

Several Alphas from the Zhong family couldn’t help but feel their scalps tingle. Even the Omega among them, feeling weak in the legs, hurriedly leaned against the nearby wall, with thin beads of sweat appearing on their backs.

 

No one had expected that a student could possess such a powerful aura. Silence fell, and they were left speechless in the tense atmosphere.

 

The middle-aged woman’s displeasure grew, mixed with mockery. She thought that Wen Xingchen was being reckless by releasing his pheromones so openly. Wasn’t he afraid of affecting his Omega classmate?

 

However, her thoughts vanished when she turned to look at Lu Jingning. He didn’t seem affected at all, maintaining his composure, and even appeared to enjoy the situation, twitching his nose as if he found the atmosphere delightful.

 

The people from the Zhong family could no longer maintain their arrogance, and fear remained.

 

What kind of place was this Imperial Navy University? Were all the people here monsters?!

 

The academic affairs director, Zhu Zhai, who managed to remain composed under Wen Xingchen’s pressure, stepped forward to mediate with a friendly attitude. He gently patted Wen Xingchen’s shoulder and said, “Student, ease up on the pheromones. We’re here to mediate. Even if you don’t accept it, there’s no need to make it too embarrassing.”

 

He then turned to the Zhong family and amiably inquired, “What do you all think? Isn’t that the right approach?”

 

The people from the Zhong family were naturally unwilling, but under Wen Xingchen’s overpowering presence, they instinctively felt fear and reluctantly backed down, saying, “Right, right, today, we disturbed you.”

 

Only then did Wen Xingchen discreetly withdraw his aura. Without giving them another glance, he turned to Lu Jingning and asked, “Shall we go?”

 

“Sure, let’s go!” Lu Jingning replied and bid farewell to the teacher and others, saying, “If there’s nothing else, then goodbye!”

 

The Zhong family wanted to stop them, but the chilling aura emanating from Wen Xingchen made them hesitant and anxious, and they could only watch them leave.

 

Once they were downstairs, Lu Jingning asked, “Where to?”

 

Wen Xingchen replied, “Where are you going?”

 

Lu Jingning checked the time and said, “I’m planning to go to the Mecha Club and see if Yan Hebin is still there. As a good roommate, I should give him some encouragement.”

 

Wen Xingchen appeared agreeable, “I have nothing to do, so wherever you want to go is fine.”

 

…

 

Today was the first day of club recruitment, and the first batch of clubs had officially entered the recruiting stage.

 

As one of the most popular clubs at the Imperial Naval Academy, the Mecha Club’s recruitment site was bustling with people, comparable to the scene of a top 500 interstellar enterprise’s job fair. The intense competitive atmosphere could be felt even from a distance.

 

Lu Jingning was about to contact his friends when he looked up and saw several familiar figures. He waved to them from afar.

 

As they heard his voice, they looked up and recognized his eye-catching golden hair. However, instead of being energetic like when they left home, they seemed downcast.

 

Lu Jingning noticed their expressions and also saw Yan Hebin’s stern face. He asked in surprise, “What happened? You didn’t make it in? That’s impossible, right?”

 

If he hadn’t mentioned it, the mood might have been different. Now that he spoke up, Su JiaNian’s already gloomy expression turned indignant, “Those Mecha Club people are nothing but a bunch of narrow-minded jerks! Yan Hebin’s mecha is clearly much better than the Alphas’, yet they made him undergo virtual combat. It was clearly designed to give him a hard time just because he’s an Omega!”

 

Ren Jin became angry, and even his cheeks turned slightly red, “Exactly! They had an A-class Alpha compete against Yan Hebin, knowing that their pheromone strength was vastly different. If he loses, they would say it’s because of the mecha’s problem! Why not just say they don’t want to recruit Omegas instead of bullying people like this?!”

 

As Lu Jingning listened to their complaints and understood the situation, he turned to Yan Hebin and asked, “So it wasn’t an issue with your mecha, right?”

 

Yan Hebin, who had remained silent, finally spoke. His tone betrayed no emotion but was firm, “The mecha I made is undoubtedly the strongest among those in the competition.”

 

Lu Jingning, who had already been irritated by the Zhong family, couldn’t contain his frustration. Now, he found another reason to vent. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but clench his fists, “Fine! Why do people everywhere look down on Omegas?!”

 

Wen Xingchen had been waiting idly by the door and couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Lu Jingning’s rant.

 

Ah, wasn’t this guy here to apply for the interview? It seemed more like he came here to stir up trouble!

Chapter 96

August 5, 2023 / / 1 Comment

       At the time Chen Yuncheng rushed to the hospital, Guan Anlin had already been admitted to the emergency operating room.

       Outside the operating room, Long Zhanyu was standing alone against the wall. Chen Yuncheng walked up to him quickly, his rapid breathing had not yet slowed down, and asked, “What’s going on?”

       Long Zhanyu answered him, “It’s not clear yet, but he had a fight with Yu Jie on the side of the road before the accident. I suspect that Yu Jie pushed him on purpose.”

       When he heard this, Chen Yuncheng grabbed Long Zhanyu’s lapel, “I said it would be dangerous and told him not to go, yet you encouraged him to continue the investigation!”

       Long Zhanyu looked down at Chen Yuncheng’s hand tightly gripping his lapel, and said, “Simmer down, I didn’t encourage Guan Anlin to investigate Yu Jie.”

       Chen Yuncheng stared at him fiercely without saying anything. His eyes then gradually eased after a while, and he also let go of his grip on Long Zhanyu.

       “How is he doing now?” Chen Yuncheng glanced at the closed door of the operating room.

       Long Zhanyu said, “It’s going to be open-heart surgery, Dr. Ning went in.”

       “Ning Junyan went in?” Chen Yuncheng felt like his strength had been instantly drained from him, and sat down on the chair by the wall. His eyes were a little blank as he said, “I grew up without my parents, and I’ve always treated them like they were my own.”

       He was not only talking about Guan Anlin but also Zhou Yan who was in prison.

       The feeling of watching his loved ones leave, or stepping into a desperate situation was making him feel he was too powerless, and he is really afraid.

       Long Zhanyu walked up to him and squatted down, looking up at him, “No one would have thought that Yu Jie would be that mad.”

       “Where’s Yu Jie?” Chen Yuncheng asked.

       Long Zhanyu took a deep breath, “He’s already been arrested and is now at the branch office making a statement.”

       “Can you convict him?”

       Long Zhanyu replied this time, “Yes, trust me.” He was silent for a while, and continued, “Although the case has not been formally filed, the case is now being investigated for intentional homicide.”

       Chen Yuncheng’s heart was in turmoil. What happened to Yu Jie at this time was far less important to him than Guan Anlin coming out of the operating room safely.

       Long Zhanyu sat with him for a while, went to the corner and made a phone call, and then told Chen Yuncheng that he was leaving, “I’ll go to the branch office and ask my colleagues.”

       Chen Yuncheng looked up at him and nodded.

       After Long Zhanyu left, Chen Yuncheng sat alone outside the operating room and waited. He felt cold all over his body, and there was wet sweat on his forehead.

       After more than half an hour, Guan Anqin walked over from the corridor with a small bag on her back. She stopped when she saw Chen Yuncheng, and called out softly, “Cheng ge?”

       Chen Yuncheng stood up, “Xiao Qin, you are here?”

       Guan Anqin’s eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked up, “How is my brother?”

       Chen Yuncheng could be vulnerable when he was alone, but he had to be strong in front of Guan Anqin, he said, “Dr. Ning is operating on him inside, he will be fine.”

       Guan Anqin nodded.

       Chen Yuncheng asked her to sit down, went to pour her a cup of hot water, came back and sat beside Guan Anqin, and didn’t speak again after that.

       The white lights in the hallway always look a bit bleak.

       It was the second time Chen Yuncheng sat outside the operating room and wait for Ning Junyan. Last time he only felt very worried, but this time he was not only worried but also afraid. He was not in the mood to call Long Zhanyu, and leaned his head against the wall, trying to make his breathing even and soothing, not wanting Guan Anqin to feel his nervousness.

       But this time Ning Junyan didn’t let him wait that long.

       It had been more than three hours since the surgery began when the doors to the operating room opened. Ning Junyan was still wearing the surgical gown and had not changed, walked up to Chen Yuncheng as if he knew he would be waiting there, smiled at him and winked.

       There was no need to say anything at this time, Chen Yuncheng stood up and hugged Ning Junyan.

       Ning Junyan’s body smelled of sweat, and even his clothes were slightly damp, but Chen Yuncheng didn’t care about all those things at this time, he only felt that everything about Ning Junyan was beautiful.

       “Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” Ning Junyan said calmly, but he tightly hugged Chen Yuncheng’s waist with one hand, and kissed his ear. Then he turned to Guan Anqin, who was also looking at him nervously, and said, “Your brother’s surgery was successful, and he will be fine.”

       Guan Anqin was about to cry, she said, “Thank you, Dr. Ning.”

       Ning Junyan stretched his slender fingers into Chen Yuncheng’s hair and said to him, “He should be observed in the ICU for two days after leaving the operating room. You won’t be able to see him tonight, so why don’t you go back and rest?”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t answer, he turned to look at Guan Anqin, “I’ll take you back to school, you can come back tomorrow.”

       Guan Anqin didn’t know what was going on in the ICU, so she asked in a low voice, “Can I see him through the glass?”

       Ning Junyan said to her, “You won’t be able to see him, go back and rest.”

       Guan Anqin nodded.

       Long Zhanyu went to the branch office. Because of the possible involvement of intentional murder, the case was now under the jurisdiction of the branch office, and Yu Jieren was still locked in the interrogation room of the branch office.

       The deputy captain of the fourth squadron, Zhang Zheng, who is in charge of the case, was Long Zhan Yu’s senior in the Police Academy. Zhang Zheng saw Long Zhanyu while smoking in the corridor, and raised his hand to greet him, “Xiao Long, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

       Long Zhanyu smiled, “You guys are busy with big cases every day, how can you have time to see me?”

       Zhang Zheng smiled when he heard this and tossed him a cigarette.

       Long Zhanyu stood beside Zhang Zheng and lit a cigarette. He took a slow puff and then asked, “How about that Yu Jie?”

       Zhang Zheng looked at him, “I heard that he was captured by your people?”

       Long Zhanyu nodded, “I know the victim.”

       Zhang Zheng said, “This man was very stubborn. He insisted that the other party hit him. Then they pushed each other, and he fell to the ground, the other party took two steps back and was hit by a car.”

       At that time, Long Zhanyu asked someone to restrain Yu Jie. After calling the command centre, he followed Guan Anlin to the hospital. He listened to the general situation of the follow-up investigation on the phone, and now he asked carefully, “What about the surveillance? The car that hit him didn’t have a dashcam?”

       Zhang Zheng shook his head, “That place is a surveillance blind spot. The car that hit the person was a very old broken van without a dashcam. And it was dark at the time. The driver said he didn’t pay attention to the situation on the side of the road and only suddenly saw someone rushing out.”

       Long Zhanyu asked again, “Where are the witnesses?”

       Zhang Zheng answered him, “I’m still looking.” After speaking, he glanced at Long Zhanyu, “So concerned? Should I hand it over to you guys?”

       Long Zhanyu laughed, “Okay, you can borrow me as a labour force for free. I will definitely not let Yu Jie go.”

       Zhang Zheng heard the words and said, “I mean it. I’ll apply tomorrow for a temporary transfer of personnel from your squadron.”

       Long Zhanyu looked towards the lighted interrogation room, “Can I ask him a few words?”

       Zhang Zheng said, “Go ahead.”

       In the interrogation room, Yu Jie sat alone on a cold wooden chair with his hands handcuffed to the small table in front of him.

       Long Zhanyu walked in and sat down on the chair opposite him.

       Yu Jie looked at him and said nothing.

       Long Zhanyu said, “Guan Anlin has finished his surgery and his life is not in danger.”

       Yu Jie smiled and said, “Really? That’s really great.”

       Long Zhanyu said again, “That place downstairs of your company, you know that there is a blind spot for surveillance, right?”

       Yu Jie didn’t answer, just asked, “Is this a formal interrogation, officer?”

       Long Zhanyu had no paper and pen in front of him, nor did he use a computer to record. Obviously, it was not a formal interrogation. He did not answer Yu Jie’s question, but continued, “You must’ve thought that broken van must not have a car recorder, right? Did you know that no one in the nearby office building can see what you’re doing from the windows? Now you must be considering how to plead guilty to be seen as sincere enough to give you a slightly lighter sentence when you are sentenced.”

       Yu Jie had a sincere look on his face, “Officer, I really didn’t push him on purpose. Look at my face, it’s the marks where he pushed me to the ground and bruised me.” There were very obvious scratches on his face.

       Long Zhanyu nodded, “It’s okay, you should think about it yourself.”

       He came out of the interrogation room and found Zhang Zheng, “Show me the surveillance.”

       Zhang Zheng said yes, but then said, “We have checked the surveillance in detail, and it is true that nothing was captured.”

       Long Zhanyu said, “I want to find all the vehicles that passed by at the time of the incident. There will always be a dashcam to capture the process.”

       Zhang Zheng was a little surprised, “Are you going to find them one by one now?”

       Long Zhanyu said to him, “A lot of dashcams are going to overwrite the recordings. If the owner of the car didn’t notice it, and we delayed it for a long time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find the records for that time. It’s best to contact the car owner in time for tomorrow morning before work.”

       Zhang Zheng looked at him for a while, put his arms around his shoulders and led him outside, and said, “Go, I’ll find someone to go with you, and also, I’ll ask Captain Xia to call the fifth squadron tomorrow and borrow you for two days. “

The author has something to say:
Some readers have a bit of hatred for the character of Long Zhanyu. It doesn’t matter, but please don’t be malicious to the author. The author did not discredit a certain profession, and all the characters serve the plot and do not want to convey any point of view through a web article. The main purpose of writing the article is to share the meng1cuteness points.

Everyone should never learn about a certain profession or group through online articles, because the author’s understanding is very little and one-sided. Entry-level police officers work very hard and there is no saying that they do not handle criminal cases. If you want to have a detailed understanding, you can watch documentaries or something. The trivial matters you think have certain consequences are all criminal cases, and they are all handled by the police at the police station, but they only have certain jurisdiction for some areas.

Chapter 23 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 4, 2023 / / 2 Comments

Chapter 23

 

Following Wen Xingchen’s request, the doctor quickly prepared the medicine for them.

 

On the way back, Lu Jingning seemed a bit gloomy, and his gaze occasionally swept across Wen Xingchen’s lips, looking somewhat restless.

 

Wen Xingchen, under the hot gaze, calmly adjusted his collar and spoke tonelessly, “Stop looking, don’t even think about it.”

 

Lu Jingning sincerely suggested, “How about we have a fight, and the winner gets to decide?”

 

Wen Xingchen almost burst into laughter, “So, you want your pheromones to explode again and then take advantage of my complete loss of control to start a wildfire?”

 

Lu Jingning, his thoughts exposed, looked up at the sky nonchalantly, whistling, “Why would you say that? It’s like I’m coveting your beauty and trying to take advantage of you.”

 

Wen Xingchen suddenly stopped in his tracks, smiling slyly as he looked at him from the corner of his eye, “Isn’t it?”

 

Catching the starlight from the sky, it framed Lu Jingning’s handsome figure perfectly. He hesitated, and the word “no” suddenly felt hard to say.

 

Coveting beauty? Well, maybe… a bit?

 

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Wen Xingchen sneered.

 

Lu Jingning, provoked by his attitude, raised his voice in annoyance, “I just want to borrow your pheromones, what’s the big deal? Are you afraid I’ll use this as an opportunity to cling to you? I promise I’ll leave after I’m done, no strings attached!”

 

Wen Xingchen’s lips twitched uncontrollably, “Do I look like some kind of useful tool to you?”

 

Lu Jingning stuttered, “I didn’t mean it that way…”

 

“Since the medicine is ready, you better take it and don’t waste it!” With these parting words, Wen Xingchen turned and walked away without looking back.

 

Lu Jingning stood there for a moment, feeling like something was off about their conversation.

 

He was the Omega, after all, so why did it feel like he was forcing something?

 

It was frustrating. If it weren’t for the fact that others would go weak in the knees when they smelled his pheromones, why would he even have to rely on this surname Wen? He was an Alpha, and was it such a big deal to let him take a bite, not like he’d get pregnant!

 

The more Lu Jingning thought about it, the angrier he became. He returned to the dormitory with a disgruntled expression.

 

Yan Hebin glanced at the medicine he had in his hand, “Did you go to the hospital?”

 

Lu Jingning nodded and casually placed it on the table.

 

Ugh, he really hated taking medicine!

 

Seeing his potentially explosive mood, Yan Hebin didn’t ask further questions and continued working on the virtual panel for their mecha prototype.

 

Lu Jingning glanced over and was suddenly curious. He leaned in and exclaimed, ” Yan Hebin, is the curriculum in the Military Mechanics Faculty going so fast that you’ve already started building mechas?”

 

Yan Hebin pushed up their glasses and didn’t turn their heads, “The courses haven’t started teaching that yet; I’m self-studying.”

 

Lu Jingning suddenly had newfound respect for his roommate, “I didn’t expect you to be such a genius!”

 

Finally, Yan Hebin glanced at him, “What’s up?”

 

Lu Jingning rubbed his hands nervously, “I was wondering if you’d be willing to help me with the theoretical exams in the future?”

 

“Help” was a polite way of saying it; he was practically asking for cheating outright.

 

Under the intense scrutiny, Yan Hebin showed no emotional reaction, “Not possible.”

 

Lu Jingning felt a chill from his icy attitude, “Ah, Yan Hebin, with this kind of coldness, you won’t find an Alpha.”

 

Yan Hebin remained unfazed, “You’re not cold and unfeeling, but have you found an Alpha?”

 

A devastating retort.

 

Lu Jingning, “…”

 

His roommate was as difficult to deal with as Wen Xingchen. Lu Jingning wondered what would happen if these two sarcastic individuals ever crossed paths. It would be a spectacular clash of wits.

 

Lu Jingning’s mind suddenly conjured up the image of a tall figure. He blinked in surprise, and his face twisted in a rare expression.

 

He lost all interest in joking with Yan Hebin, washed away the hospital disinfectant from his body in the bathroom, and climbed into bed in silence. Before falling asleep, he had only one thought in his mind.

 

He couldn’t believe there was an Alpha he, Lu Jingning, couldn’t handle. Wen Xingchen, let’s see what the future holds!

 

…

 

Upon learning of Lu Jingning’s trip to the hospital, Yu Qingcang showed unusual concern. The next morning, he waited downstairs at the Omega dormitory with a hearty breakfast.

 

Lu Jingning had spent the entire night dreaming about overpowering a certain Alpha in a corner, and with poor sleep and a bad mood, not even delicious food could soothe his irritable temper.

 

Listening to Yu Qingcang’s aimless questions and feeling impatient, he interrupted him and got straight to the point, “Spill it, what’s the matter?”

 

Yu Qingcang cleared his throat and changed the topic, “The second round of the ancient basketball tournament is coming up. How are you feeling lately? Are you still able to play?”

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He knew this guy would bring up something unrelated sooner or later.

 

However, he wasn’t entirely sure about his recent physical condition, and the situation with the ancient basketball tournament was uncertain, so he replied, “We’ll see when the time comes.”

 

Yu Qingcang knew Lu Jingning’s personality too well to press further, so he nodded and said, “Alright.”

 

After all, they had already defeated the formidable Imperial Defence Faculty, and the remaining Combat Command Faculty and the Military Mechanics Faculty were no match for them. There was no need for this powerhouse to participate.

 

“There’s one more thing,” Yu Qingcang added, lowering his voice with a gossipy tone, “I have to ask, what’s the deal with you and Wen Xingchen? He accompanied you to the hospital, and the way you two acted… is it really as Jiang Luan said?”

 

Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Jingning threw a punch towards his head, “I don’t want to hear that name right now!”

 

Yu Qingcang, baffled by the sudden attack, rubbed his sore spot and looked at Lu Jingning’s indignant expression, forming countless words of love, hate, and intrigue in his mind.

 

Although Lu Jingning never behaved like a typical Omega, his current resentment seemed suspicious!

 

Unfortunately, class time was approaching, and he couldn’t indulge in gossip.

 

After parting ways with Yu Qingcang, Lu Jingning lazily entered the classroom while munching on a piece of bread. He immediately spotted Wen Xingchen sitting in the back.

 

Raising an eyebrow, he didn’t bother with greetings and simply moved to the back row, stashed his backpack in the drawer, and laid his head down to sleep.

 

Jiang Luan, who had planned to give up his seat when he saw Lu Jingning, froze in place when he noticed the situation. He had just stood up, but now he remained standing.

 

He turned to look at Wen Xingchen, who was absorbed in his textbook, his expression full of surprise.

 

What was going on? Had these two quarreled?

 

Wen Xingchen raised his head under Jiang Luan’s gaze and asked calmly, “Is there something?”

 

Jiang Luan, puzzled by their inexplicable behavior, kindly suggested, “How about I switch seats with Lu Jingning?”

 

Wen Xingchen’s lips curled into a slight, almost smiling arc as he responded, “With so much time on your hands, why don’t you go socialize with more Omegas?”

 

One sentence struck right at the heart.

 

Jiang Luan covered his aching chest.

 

This surname Wen was really something! Even though he knew that lately, some Omegas were divided between being attracted to him and being attracted to Lu Jingning, occasionally leaving a few single Omegas completely disinterested, why would he go socialize with an Omega?

 

Regrettably, class was about to start, and the conditions didn’t allow for deep gossip.

 

Lu Jingning wasn’t usually one to play games, but recently, perhaps due to the disruption in his pheromones, he found himself constantly in an irritable and drowsy state.

 

Moreover, whenever he saw Wen Xingchen, he couldn’t help but think about the enticing minty scent of his pheromones, a scent that made him want to stretch his neck towards the man and let him bite into it.

 

However, after the incident at the abandoned warehouse and Wen Xingchen’s two consecutive refusals, Lu Jingning was determined not to lower his head again. If he was going to be marked, he wanted Wen Xingchen to take the initiative!

 

When Lu Jingning looked at Wen Xingchen again, his gaze took on a predatory quality.

 

On the day of the non-basketball game against the Military Mechanics Faculty, as Wen Xingchen passed by the rest area, he suddenly caught a faint familiar scent of pheromones, barely noticeable.

 

His steps involuntarily faltered, and his first thought was that Lu Jingning’s pheromones were acting up again.

 

He subconsciously looked into the room, his gaze falling through the half-closed door, and he happened to see the young man with half of his shirt off, revealing a well-defined abdominal area with prominent abs.

 

Contrary to his seemingly slender appearance, the taut curve of his abdomen displayed robust muscles. Accompanied by the scent of pheromones in the air, every frame of this scene seemed to excite the strings of his rationality in his mind frantically.

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

Setting aside other irrelevant factors, if you zoom in the lens to the point where it can only accommodate two people, it’s like a massive seduction scene.

 

Unfortunately, Lu Jingning showed no urgency in putting on his sports uniform. He casually ran his fingers through his disheveled hair, took a sip of water, and when he swallowed, his Adam’s apple rolled gently. He exuded an aura of a complete male transformation.

 

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

Lu Jingning waited for a while but didn’t hear any movement behind him. He couldn’t hold back any longer and turned around. When their eyes met, he wore a surprised expression, “What are you doing here?”

 

As he spoke, he casually ruffled his hair, revealing a subtle gland when he tilted his head.

 

A faint and subtle scent of pheromones filled the air, incredibly ambiguous and tantalizing.

 

However, Wen Xingchen remained silent for a moment, and his gaze on Lu Jingning’s neck didn’t linger. He calmly said, “Contain your pheromones, don’t release them recklessly at this moment. Otherwise, when our college’s team arrives, do you intend to make them kneel directly on the court?”

 

Lu Jingning: “…”

 

“You don’t need to change into your sports uniform either. Given the situation, do you really want to play? Don’t go berserk later and demolish the court.” Wen Xingchen said casually, taking off his jacket and throwing it on top of Lu Jingning’s head, revealing a friendly smile. “I’ll lend you the jacket for now. Wear it securely, and don’t let any air leak. If you want to return it or not, it’s up to you. If you do return it, make sure to wash it clean in advance.”

 

Lu Jingning: “…”

 

It was as if Wen Xingchen didn’t notice the rapidly changing expressions on Lu Jingning’s face. He chuckled lightly, took a step back, and walked away.

 

From start to finish, he didn’t even step into the rest area’s door.

 

Lu Jingning was left alone, holding the still-warm oversized jacket.

 

Damn it, where did things go wrong?

 

Was it his own charm that had truly declined, or was this guy Wen Xingchen not really an Alpha?!

 

He cursed silently in his mind and was about to toss the jacket out the window when he raised it and caught a whiff of the minty scent of pheromones clinging to it. He couldn’t help but move his nose.

 

After pausing for a moment, he reluctantly put on the jacket.

 

Admittedly, that scent was somewhat enticing.

 

Besides, it was better than going without. He’d deal with the rest later!

 

Wen Xingchen didn’t actually go far.

 

In the empty corridor, as he turned a corner, he suddenly reached out to support the nearby wall. His expressionless face cracked for the first time, revealing a hint of conflict.

 

Under the temptation of pheromones, his Alpha possessiveness surged uncontrollably, almost driving him to rush towards that person.

 

Perhaps this was the result of a high compatibility, as if a switch had been turned on since the day in the warehouse, making it increasingly difficult to resist the effects of pheromones.

 

Honestly, he didn’t like this feeling of losing control, but he couldn’t resist the instincts that came naturally between AOs.

 

He took a shallow breath and rubbed his hair carelessly, muttering to himself, “Such a little devil!”

 

…

 

When Lu Jingning lazily sat down in the resting area, Jiang Luan inadvertently saw the jacket he was wearing. His face froze as he exclaimed, “Is that Wen Xingchen’s?”

 

Lu Jingning absentmindedly replied without noticing Jiang Luan’s gradually changing expression, “Yeah.”

 

Jiang Luan knew Wen Xingchen’s cleanliness obsession all too well. He didn’t allow anyone to touch his personal belongings, let alone something as intimate as a jacket.

 

Thinking about it, Jiang Luan couldn’t help but look towards the nearby figure.

 

Damn, Wen Xingchen was going too far! They had known each other for so long, and he had never received such treatment. His brother was really pushing it!

 

Lu Jingning was lost in thought and didn’t sense Jiang Luan’s resentment. He suddenly reached out and pulled him closer, asking, “Jiang Luan, can I ask you something?”

 

Jiang Luan: “???”

 

“Then there’s no reason to refuse. I’ve never been one to say no to a beautiful Omega. This isn’t what a gentleman Alpha should do…” Jiang Luan’s words came to a sudden halt here. It seemed that he had just realized something and looked at Lu Jingning slowly. “You’re not asking about Wen Xingchen, are you?”

 

Lu Jingning: …

 

His silence made Jiang Luan feel uneasy. His voice involuntarily rose, “You’ve actually reached the point of needing temporary… um, um!”

 

Lu Jingning quickly pressed him and said through gritted teeth, “Answer the question properly, and maybe I’ll spare you!”

 

Jiang Luan nodded repeatedly, his hand that had been covering his mouth finally let go, and he almost choked.

 

Finally catching his breath, he lowered his voice, “Ahem, if it’s about Wen Xingchen, well, you don’t need to worry too much. In matters of emotions, he’s a bit different from others. There are many complications, you understand, right? But no matter what he does, he has his reasons. Don’t get angry with him because of it!”

 

He sighed softly at the end, “There are some things I can’t say right now. It’s better to wait until he wants to tell you in person.”

 

Seeing his attitude, Lu Jingning became more certain of his suspicions, “So, he does have issues in that department, doesn’t he?”

 

“What?” Jiang Luan was momentarily stunned by his flexible thought process. After a while, he shook his head repeatedly, “No, absolutely not! That’s not what I meant!”

 

Seeing Jiang Luan’s intense reaction, Lu Jingning couldn’t help but become even more convinced. He patted his shoulder with a feeling of sympathy, “Alright, don’t worry. I, Lu Ge, am very tight-lipped. I won’t casually reveal anything!”

 

Thinking back to everything that had happened, his angry emotions dissipated somewhat, replaced by deep sympathy.

 

Just think about it, how could anyone resist such an outstanding Omega like him? If there were any issues with Wen Xingchen in his receiver or elsewhere, that would fully explain it!

 

“…”

 

Seeing Jiang Luan’s apparent misunderstanding, he felt dumbfounded and couldn’t help but glance in Wen Xingchen’s direction. He shuddered inwardly.

 

Sorry, buddy, I didn’t mean it that way!

 

Absolutely can’t let Wen Xingchen find out about this, or he might end up killing me?!

 

…

 

The subsequent matches went very smoothly for the Quadruple Faculty, and they advanced to the finals.

 

In the final match, they once again faced off against the Imperial Defence Faculty.

 

The matter of Zhong Feng being caught had already been resolved a few days ago. There was no way to wash away the fact that he had used inducement drugs to force Omega into heat. The final judgment was that he would spend five years behind bars. With this outcome, not only did his chances of entering the military diminish, but his entire life was essentially ruined.

 

However, no one had any sympathy for him in this matter.

 

Anyone who could do such a thing to an Omega was clearly scum. If he were allowed to graduate, he would likely become a menace sooner or later.

 

Zhong Feng’s case had clearly dampened the spirits of the Imperial Defence Faculty. They quietly played out the final match, and in the absence of Lu Jingning on the court, they had no chance to win the championship, losing by a large margin.

 

After winning the final match of the Ancient Basketball Tournament, the students of the Quadruple Faculty cheered and celebrated. Led by Jiang Luan and a few others, they organized students from several classes of the Quadruple Faculty to go out and have a good time that night.

 

Lu Jingning had been feeling down these past few days, so he didn’t have any reason to refuse such a good opportunity. He was particularly enthusiastic.

 

In stark contrast, Wen Xingchen’s attitude was completely different. After hearing what Jiang Luan had to say, he remained indifferent, “I won’t go. I wish you all a pleasant evening.”

 

Jiang Luan, enduring a bout of frustration, tried to coax him, “Lu Jingning will be there tonight, too. Lu Jingning, you know!”

 

Wen Xingchen replied, “Oh, what does that have to do with me?”

 

Jiang Luan exclaimed, “Of course, it does! Look, everyone going tonight except him is an Alpha. What if… um, you know what I mean?”

 

Wen Xingchen finally glanced at him, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips, “What could possibly happen? Do you think you guys can do something to him?”

 

Jiang Luan said, “Of course not! What I mean is, we’re afraid Lu Jingning might do something to us!”

 

“…”

 

Wen Xingchen couldn’t help but recall the scene in the lounge before. Suddenly, he felt that, given the recent circumstances, if Lu Jingning did something like that, it wouldn’t be surprising at all.

 

He remained silent for a moment, then asked, “Time and place?”

 

Jiang Luan felt relieved and remembered the conversation he had with Lu Jingning on the basketball court. He wiped away a tear of bitterness in his heart.

 

Oh, Wen Ge, this is all I can do for you!

 

It had to be said that Jiang Luan was truly skilled in organizing events.

 

TheQuadruple Faculty had a total of sixty students from three classes, neither too many nor too few. After notifying everyone, those absent and those who were invited were all accounted for. They directly booked the entire lobby of a hotel not far from the Imperial Navy University for their celebration dinner, creating an atmosphere akin to a military award presentation.

 

This grand gesture drew eye-rolls from students of other institutes, who felt that the Quadruple Faculty had become overly inflated after winning the Ancient Basketball Tournament.

 

Lu Jingning, on the other hand, enjoyed this meal immensely. During the past few days of taking medication and recuperating, he had felt weak all over, with energy coming and going unpredictably.

 

That evening, he saw it as a chance to release some tension and enthusiastically participated in various drinking games. After completing a round of these games, he returned to his seat with a flushed face, saying, “Did you all see that, Lu Ge? I’m the most handsome guy at this table!”

 

Next to him, Yu Qingcang was about to add to the banter when he suddenly sensed a familiar scent. His posture froze, and he began to panic, pushing his chair back several meters in succession.

 

Lu Jingning, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong?”

 

Yu Qingcang’s face turned pale as he said in a frightened tone, “Lu Jingning, your pheromones are leaking!”

 

It must be said that too much laughter can lead to tears. The other students at the table, who had been devouring their food like hungry tigers, instinctively moved back in fear.

 

Most of the other tables were filled with students from different classes, and they couldn’t quite comprehend the strange behavior on this side. They assumed it was some new game they were playing.

 

Within seconds, the area around Lu Jingning became deserted. Yu Qingcang looked around anxiously but soon spotted Wen Xingchen, who was sitting beside them, meticulously removing fish bones from his dish. Without hesitation, Yu Qingcang rushed over and exclaimed, “Wen-ge, save us!”

 

“…”

 

Wen Xingchen was suddenly put on the spot. He raised his head, and everyone’s expectant eyes met his gaze.

 

He glanced at Lu Jingning, and his intuition told him that it might not be a good idea to leave them alone together in this situation. But if he allowed Lu Jingning to stay and the pheromones acted up again, it could lead to a disastrous outcome.

 

After a moment of silence, he picked up the jacket from the back of his chair, walked over to Lu Jingning, and placed his hand gently on his shoulder. With a light pat on the head, he said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back, little one.”

 

The others breathed a sigh of relief. They were grateful that Wen Xingchen was there to maintain order. If Lu Jingning, after drinking so much, were to let loose, even a group of A-level Alphas wouldn’t be able to handle it.

 

Lu Jingning didn’t seem too eager to leave, but given the circumstances of recent events, he had no choice. He swayed to his feet, waved to everyone with lingering excitement, and said, “I’ll head back now. Enjoy your meal, everyone!”

 

The others almost cheered, “Take care on the way!”

 

…

 

As they stepped out of the hotel, the cold night wind immediately nipped at their necks. Lu Jingning, wearing Wen Xingchen’s jacket, suddenly felt a throbbing headache. It was as if a burst of energy surged uncontrollably through his body, leaving him feeling breathless one moment and completely listless the next.

 

He couldn’t help but shake his head vigorously.

 

In fact, his alcohol tolerance had always been decent, but it seemed that when a person’s physical condition weakened, everything seemed to go awry. Just one round of drinking had left him feeling out of sorts.

 

The restaurant wasn’t too far from the school, but it wasn’t exactly close either. The two of them walked in silence, neither saying a word. The only sound was the streetlights casting their shadows, intertwining silently.

 

When they reached the second-to-last intersection before the school gate, Lu Jingning’s figure suddenly swayed. Wen Xingchen, who had been a few steps behind, quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm. “Be careful.”

 

Lu Jingning’s head was throbbing, and he felt as if a fire was uncontrollably surging from his arm. He turned his head and, coincidentally, met Wen Xingchen’s gaze. After a slight daze, he suddenly smiled and said, “Oh, you really care about me!”

 

Under this overly bright smile, Wen Xingchen’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. At the same time, a gust of wind blew, carrying the faint scent of Omega pheromones to his nose.

 

Compared to earlier at the hotel, it seemed even stronger now, as if it was becoming more chaotic, fluctuating between peaks and valleys, and cautiously testing the waters.

 

Wen Xingchen hadn’t drunk much tonight, but at this moment, he felt an emotion that was trying to break free. He unconsciously tightened his grip on Lu Jingning’s arm, but when he saw Lu Jingning furrow his brows, he immediately realized what he was doing and released his hold.

 

Without the support of his grip, Lu Jingning, who was feeling quite dizzy, swayed for a moment before regaining his balance. He looked at Wen Xingchen’s reaction and, despite his current state, couldn’t help but grab the collar of his jacket, bending down closer and letting out a breath that brushed tantalizingly close to Wen Xingchen’s face. He smiled ambiguously, “What are you afraid of? I can’t eat you, you know.”

Before, he hadn’t noticed it at the dining table, but after the cold wind blew, he felt as though his internal pheromones had suddenly awakened and started surging. This made his fingertips subconsciously trace lightly on Wen Xingchen’s back.

 

The influence of alcohol, coupled with the scent of Omega pheromones, required Wen Xingchen to exercise great self-control not to be thrown off balance by the seemingly teasing touch of that hand.

 

However, even with his restraint, due to their high compatibility, the pheromones lingered faintly in the air, enough to keep both of them on the edge of losing control at any moment.

 

Separated by their clothing, Wen Xingchen could still feel the softness that belonged to an Omega. Suddenly, he realized that he might have been overly confident in his self-control.

 

He had always believed that he could maintain his prized composure in any situation. However, at this moment, the thin layer of alcohol in his system was constantly urging the pheromones to ferment, seemingly uncontrollably.

 

He could even feel that his pheromones were struggling to contain themselves for the first time, spreading recklessly with a strong possessiveness, as if they couldn’t wait to plunder.

 

In a voice that was approaching hoarseness, Wen Xingchen spoke, “Lu Jingning, at a time like this, it’s better if you don’t get too close to me.”

 

Lu Jingning, already feeling a bit dizzy from the alcohol, sensed the sudden presence of the Alpha’s aura after hearing those words. It reminded him of the conversation with Jiang Luan.

 

He sensually took a breath, showing no intention of maintaining distance. Instead, he lazily leaned in closer.

 

His gaze brushed over those sensual lips, and suddenly, in a provocative manner, he bent down and lightly pecked them. His eyes were misty as if veiled in a layer of mist. “I want to get closer. What can you do to stop me?”

 

Wen Xingchen’s heart trembled. Under this tender touch, his last defense finally shattered.

 

With a 99% compatibility, an overwhelming taste that led to obsession, if this person was the one… then so be it!

 

His voice was filled with suppressed hoarseness. “Do you want me to mark you? Have you thought it through? Will you regret it?”

 

However, Lu Jingning remained silent, and after a few seconds of contemplation, he suddenly reached out with his other hand and pushed Wen Xingchen away slightly.

 

Feeling the emptiness in his arms, Wen Xingchen’s eyes dimmed slightly. “Let’s… go back.”

 

Just as he was about to take a step away, when he lifted his head, he saw that the person in front of him had somehow loosened his collar.

 

He exposed the glands at the back of his neck between the loose clothing. In an instant, Lu Jingning pounced on him eagerly. “Go back? Where do you want to go back to? Wen Xingchen, I don’t regret it. Hurry up and mark me!”

 

Not only the torment of drowsiness these past few days but also the already ignited pheromones made Lu Jingning wish for nothing more than to have Wen Xingchen’s scent fully integrated into his body.

 

It was the most addictive scent he had ever encountered.

 

Sometimes, the compatibility between AO pairs was truly a wonderful thing. He had never wanted someone so urgently before.

 

He wished to resolve it right then and there!

 

However, Wen Xingchen, despite being on the edge of the abyss, still clung to his last shreds of rationality. While the surroundings were empty, they were still by the roadside, and if anyone passed by, they would easily see them entangled together in the dim light.

 

Looking at the gland that was already at his lips, he gritted his teeth internally. “Lu Jingning! Are you sure you want to do this here?”

 

Lu Jingning looked at him blankly and replied languidly, “It’s just a temporary marking. Do we need to perform some kind of ceremony?”

 

Wen Xingchen didn’t respond and, after glancing around, pulled the troublesome guy into the nearby bushes.

 

Grasping the other’s wrist, he finally felt the Omega’s softness.

Wen Xingchen raised Lu Jingning’s hands high, pressing them against the tree trunk. His gaze brushed over the gland on his neck, revealing a hint of longing. Finally, he no longer restrained himself and lowered his head to gently bite.

 

Lu Jingning’s body tensed for a moment, and after a brief shiver, their pheromones rapidly merged within his body. With the completion of the temporary mark, everything gradually settled down.

 

During this process, he felt as if he had had an incredibly comfortable dream. When he woke up, Wen Xingchen was still before him, and the moonlight filtered through the branches remained the same. However, the whole world seemed to have become incredibly fresh, even the strong scent of alcohol in his body had dissipated significantly.

 

He suddenly felt very comfortable!

 

…

 

As the doctor said, a temporary Alpha mark was more effective than any pheromone suppressants. That evening, most of the students from the Quadruple Faculty who attended the gathering got drunk, and the next day, they arrived at school with sleepy eyes and constant yawning.

 

In contrast, Lu Jingning, who had left the gathering early last night, looked completely different from the lethargic state he had been in for the past few days. He was spirited and had a glow on his face, leaving others puzzled.

 

What had happened? He had gone out for drinks, and somehow he had managed to drink his former self back?

 

Jiang Luan, amazed by the change, observed for a while. Unable to contain his curiosity, he approached Wen Xingchen and asked in a hushed voice, “What happened? Didn’t you send Lu Jingning back yesterday? What’s going on?”

 

His initial intention was to inquire whether the two of them had finally reconciled. Unexpectedly, instead of remaining silent, Wen Xingchen’s expression, which had been devoid of emotion, instantly turned icy when Jiang Luan asked.

 

Jiang Luan’s heart skipped a beat, sensing that something was amiss. Before he could withdraw, Wen Xingchen’s voice came out low and deep, uttering a single word, “Get out!”

 

The next moment, the chair under Jiang Luan received a sudden force, causing him to spin wildly, and when he finally regained his composure, he found himself sprawled across the rightmost row of seats, spanning nearly half the classroom.

 

Jiang Luan had unintentionally performed an acrobatic act. He was in shock and, upon reflection, realized how terrifyingly strange the events of last night must have been for even someone like Wen Xingchen to resort to vulgar language. What on earth had happened?!

 

Wen Xingchen, of course, also felt Jiang Luan’s hesitant gaze. However, he could assure you that if this person dared to ask one more question, he would be thrown out of the window at any moment.

 

But whether he liked it or not, he couldn’t help but recall what had happened last night in the bushes after they completed the temporary mark. He remembered Lu Jingning’s expressions and actions, as well as the carefree departure afterward.

 

…

 

As the faculty advisor, Lin Wei walked into the classroom, and all the students quieted down. She projected a document onto the screen panel and began, “Students, starting tomorrow, it will be the day for various clubs and organizations to recruit new members. I urge everyone to go home today and familiarize yourselves with the available options and consider signing up.”

 

With her words, everyone’s attention was focused.

 

Lin Wei continued, “The list I’m sharing now includes the names and classification levels of all the clubs and organizations at the Imperial Navy University. Different levels of clubs have varying difficulty in joining, so please choose wisely. The S-level clubs have strict requirements for admission. If you’re interested, make sure to understand the conditions beforehand. If you have any questions, feel free to consult me.”

 

Lu Jingning swiftly scanned the list of various on-campus organizations. When he reached the Imperial Navy Patrol Club’s booth, his gaze paused briefly at the S-level classification.

 

He remembered that newcomers could join unconditionally if they managed to complete a 1v3 challenge during the initiation contest. And why had Wen Xingchen deliberately lost the final match of the initiation contest? There had to be a reason.

 

No matter how he thought about it, Lu Jingning couldn’t believe that Wen Xingchen was afraid of stepping onto the battlefield. So, if it wasn’t for avoiding combat, then what could it be?

 

Puzzled, he turned his head to look at Wen Xingchen.

 

Unexpectedly, when he turned, he locked eyes with a gaze that was hard to read. Those beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, like an inspection and a questioning look combined. Lu Jingning didn’t expect Wen Xingchen to be looking at him, and just as he was about to say something, Wen Xingchen suddenly averted his gaze.

 

“???”

 

Lu Jingning’s mind was suddenly filled with question marks. He subconsciously touched his face. What was this attitude about? Did he get too excited during breakfast and accidentally smear minced meat on his face?

 

Bruh, why was this chapter so long…

Chapter 49

August 3, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Article 4: It is easier to fire Cupid’s arrows than to receive them, easier to give than to receive.

       It was actually not an easy task for Suo Yang and Shen Huiming to make a plan to go somewhere together, after all, they were both busy.

       It was only after they started to be in a relationship that Suo Yang realised that Zhou Mo’s reason for changing his career—was not just because Cheng Sen was worried.

       After Suo Yang returned from Rio, he slept at Shen Huiming’s house for two nights. Before the lovebirds could get tired of each other, he set off again with his suitcase.

       This time, however, the flight was short, and he would be back in two days. Afterwards, Shen Huiming took a long vacation on National Day, and Suo Yang was still looking forward to flying with him.

       Coincidentally, the first flight that Shen Huiming took after the holiday was to New York. When the two met, Shen Huiming was also on a plane to New York for a meeting.

       When Shen Huiming was waiting to board the plane, he was still holding the ticket folder that had been scratched in his hand. It was because of this ticket folder that he had the opportunity to have a few more words with Suo Yang in the past.

       Speaking of which, it could be regarded as his matchmaker.

       Before the trip to New York, Shen Huiming gave Jiang Tongyan a precaution, telling him that he would bring a very important person to meet him.

       Jiang Tongyan had been a little burnt out lately, both at work and in his private life, there were things he couldn’t handle, and when he heard that Shen Huiming is coming, he was happy to have someone to drink with him to relieve his boredom.

       Shen Huiming sat in the waiting area, waiting patiently for the boarding announcement to sound while replying to his assistant’s message.

       This time, the feeling of waiting to board the plane was different from every other time before. This was the first time they flew together after they confirmed their relationship.

       For a long time, Shen Huiming felt that Suo Yang belonged to the blue sky, or that Suo Yang and the sky shared each other, one opening his arms to embrace and accept, and the other freely indulging in the high altitude.

       When the two were chatting, Suo Yang said to him, “Some people may think that a flight attendant is just a waiter on the plane.”

       At that time Suo Yang was lying on the bed, and the two of them held hands together.

       Suo Yang smiled lightly and said, “Actually, what we can do and what we must do are hidden in places where people can’t see.”

       Suo Yang was a person with a great sense of professional honour. He loved this job and hoped that he would continue to love it.

       Shen Huiming always thought that people who knew what they love were great, because too many people spend their entire lives without knowing what they like, what they want to do, what they want, and how much they want.

       Suo Yang might not have the deepest understanding of life, but in Shen Huiming’s view, when a person clearly knew where he was going, it was only then that we really matured.

       His Suo Yang was the kind of person he should be proud of and admire.

       After replying to the assistant’s message, Shen Huiming looked out the window, and it was drizzling outside.

       From here, one could see rows of airliners, some had just returned to the ground, some were preparing to take off, and some were recuperating, not knowing when the next flight was scheduled.

       Shen Huiming stood there looking for Suo Yang’s company’s plane. After seeing it, even if he knew that it was not the airline he was going to take today, he felt happy.

       After falling in love with someone, it seemed that not only that person, even the things related to that person are inextricably linked with oneself.

       A petal could remind you of the rose that day and a drop of rain could make you recall the conversation between the two on a rainy night.

       People who fell in love become extremely quick in thinking. However, all their thoughts revolved around their loved one, and everything they think about was related to that person.

       He waited for the boarding announcement, just like waiting for Suo Yang to call his name.

       When the announcement rang, he smiled and walked over a little closer to his lover.

       Today’s Suo Yang looked no different from every other day. He stood up straight and smiled, greeting passengers with a professional tone and wording.

       Until he saw Shen Huiming, his smile was significantly wider, and he bowed slightly, “Mr. Shen, hello.”

       Shen Huiming responded with a smile, “Hello.”

       When Shen Huiming sat down, he suddenly understood why Cheng Sen liked to follow Zhou Mo around the world so much in the first place.

       It was a wonderful feeling to watch his lover work seriously in uniform, and occasionally drifting over with a glance as if secretly conveying some unspoken secret.

       It was a kind of hidden romance, a hidden joy.

       If possible, Shen Huiming would like to kiss Suo Yang in the cabin, or secretly hold hands, and let the god hiding at 30,000 feet see that they really loved each other after that one meeting.

       It was another 19-hour flight, and Shen Huiming did not bring work to the date.

       After nightfall, the cabin began to get quiet.

       Shen Huiming poured himself a glass of red wine, sipped it, and looked at the night outside the window.

       They had been far away from the dark clouds and drizzle, flying high in the sky.

       He stared at the stars outside in a trance, thinking that he and Suo Yang were really romantic.

       Originally, Shen Huiming never expected to have any romantic love in his life.

       The adult world is so realistic, to the point that it even pushed love to the sidelines.

       What was the love life of most of the people around look like?

       It was about weighing, comparing, and deciding whether or not to go out with someone after they had been labelled as ‘suitable’.

       Even for some people who had developed a little love for others, their first thought wasn’t ‘I want to be with them,’ but rather ‘Are we suitable to be together?’

       This is adulthood, no longer pure, and one was forced to be real.

       Initially, Shen Huiming thought that he would follow suit, or that there would be no such thing as a relationship in his life at all.

       But surprises always come when people were not prepared.

       Suo Yang was the biggest surprise in his life.

       While he was lost in his thoughts, his surprise came and called him.

       “Mr. Shen.” Suo Yang walked to his side and asked softly, “Is there anything I can do for you?”

       Shen Huiming turned to look at Suo Yang, and he found that even by looking at the name tag with the word ‘Suo Yang’ engraved on the other’s chest, he could feel aroused.

       When you fall in love with someone, even that person’s name becomes sexy.

       “But, I didn’t call the cabin service.” Shen Huiming deliberately teased him.

       Shen Huiming did not call for cabin service, it was Suo Yang who came over on his own initiative.

       “Is that so?” Suo Yang looked surprised, “Then I might have misread it. Sorry for the disturbance.”

       After saying ‘Excuse me’, Suo Yang leaned over suddenly and left a kiss on Shen Huiming’s lips.

       He lowered his voice and said, “This is compensation for disturbing you.”

       After he finished speaking, he straightened up to leave, only to be pulled back by Shen Huiming.

       It was already late at night, and most of the passengers had fallen asleep. The two moved very lightly, hiding behind the baffle and kissing.

       In this semi-enclosed space, Suo Yang straddled Shen Huiming’s lap, clasped his fingers tightly with his hands, and sucked his lips.

       He never thought that one day he would do this kind of thing on the plane, secretly kissing his lover during working hours, so unprofessional, so unprofessional that he should probably be punished.

       But with a midnight flight, even the gods watching over them were probably asleep, and secretly giving vent to their desires was, perhaps, okay, right?

       Suo Yang didn’t stay here at Shen Huiming for too long, he still remembered that he was still in uniform at the moment.

       Before leaving, he helped Shen Huiming pull the blanket, and said softly, “Mr. Shen, good night.”

       He went too far tonight, a serious breach of discipline.

       After Suo Yang went back, he blamed himself very much.

       But he really couldn’t resist Shen Huiming, and couldn’t resist the other party’s kiss.

       Maybe he should tell the other party not to fly with him in the future. When he faced Shen Huiming now, there was no way he could treat that person like other passengers.

       Shen Huiming is his lover.

       He couldn’t be treated differently.

       In order to keep himself from doing anything out of line again, Suo Yang didn’t dare to look in Shen Huiming’s direction at all for the next few hours. For some reason, this kind of avoidance actually gave him the feeling of ‘having an affair’.

       Suo Yang didn’t know if there was a black swan hiding in everyone’s heart. Usually, all the evil thoughts are hidden under the wings of the sleeping black swan, but there is always a time when it wakes up, and when it flaps its wings a little, those evil thoughts pop out.

       Just like last night, he violated the rules and kissed Shen Huiming.

       Just like now, he actually enjoyed the thrill of this ‘sneaky affair’.

       Suo Yang, a man with a strong sense of shame, quickly suppressed the thought, reddening his ears and trying to bring himself back to work.

       It was enough for him to be a flirtatious lover for just a second, and his role at this time was that of a competent flight attendant.

       Suo Yang quickly recovered, with a proper professional smile on his face, and professional service words coming out of his mouth. He took care of every passenger, still being the most professional and dedicated he could be.

       However, when he entered the hotel with Shen Huiming and closed the door, the black swan that was suppressed in his heart suddenly woke up and flew up, its black feathers shaking and falling on the calm lake, and all desires burst forth instantly. He didn’t even wait to go a little further inside. He put down the suitcase at the door and embraced Shen Huiming in a passionate kiss.

       At this time, New York was still the same New York where they last met by chance.

       But at this time, they were different from before.

       At that time, Suo Yang didn’t even want to say a word to this unfamiliar person. The two sat together and drank a glass of wine, but they couldn’t find anything to talk about.

       But today, their shirts and belts were rolled up and thrown on the carpet in the hotel room, and they themselves were wrapped in a large and soft quilt, lingering tenderly.

       It turns out that when you fall in love with someone, you can lose control of yourself in the face of the other person at all times.

       In love, people are easily entangled and controlled by desire.

       Suo Yang didn’t think he was a person who craved sex, but when he saw Shen Huiming, he wanted to hug, kiss, and put that wine-soaked cherry into his mouth.

       It was raining again in New York in October.

       Just like the last time they met here.

       Shen Huiming asked, “Would you like to take it easy?”

       Suo Yang hugged him and smiled, “Anything is fine.”

Chapter 95

August 3, 2023 / / 5 Comments

       Guan Anlin had been very busy outside recently, and Chen Yuncheng knew what he was busy with. However, he couldn’t make up his mind about whether to dissuade him.

       After all, it was not Chen Yuncheng who sat in prison for those two years. Life in prison was difficult, so no matter how much Guan Anlin hated Yu Jie, Chen Yuncheng could understand it.

       Guan Anlin showed a lot of interest in Yu Jie’s so-called investment project. He put a lot of time and energy into Yu Jie’s side and even got to know the staff of Yu Jie’s company well.

       Yu Jie’s company was not large in scale. Previously, Long Zhanyu said that he hadn’t found any specific business projects, but Guan Anlin had seen Yu Jie’s company’s accountants doing the finance. Guan Anlin curiously approached her and asked her what she was doing. The accountant said she was doing it for other companies.

       Guan Anlin couldn’t understand the complicated information on the bills, so he went to talk to the accountant when he had nothing else to do. The accountant’s surname was Yuan, a young girl in her twenties, with a pair of glasses on her round face, and she was brought to laugh by Guan Anlin.

       Yu Jie asked Guan Anlin, “Have you taken a fancy to our little Yuan?”

       Guan Anlin smiled and said, “Isn’t she quite cute?”

       Yu Jie asked him again, “Are you planning to continue business with Chen Yuncheng?”

       Guan Anlin bit his cigarette and said, “It’s tiring and the money isn’t much.”

       Yu Jie looked at him with a smirk, “How can you make money by doing business honestly these days?”

       Guan Anlin raised his finger and pointed to his head, and said, “He’s too single-minded and he’s been stubborn for so many years. He always thinks that you are the one who caused all of that in the first place.”

       Yu Jie put his arms around his shoulders, “How many times have I explained that matter, it was just a misunderstanding, and I was tricked by others, don’t you believe me now?”

       “I believe in you. If I didn’t believe you, why would I still be working with you? I’ll just take it easy with Chen Yuncheng now. After all, we’ve been brothers for so many years, I don’t want to fall out with him, I’ll talk to him when the project is up and running.” At this point, Guan Anlin began to urge Yu Jie to hurry up with the formalities and prepare to start their Columbarium tower project.

       Yu Jie said, “Don’t be in a hurry, it’s not a day or two things. There are too many people who need to be dealt with by the government. I will take you there to meet the abbot of their temple as soon as it is done.”

       After Yu Jie walked away, Guan Anlin took a hard puff of a cigarette and then exhaled a long breath. He lowered his head and thought back on what he said just now. He felt that there should be no flaws, and he couldn’t help feeling a little smug, thinking that now it was his turn to deceive Yu Jie around.

       That afternoon, Guan Anlin was sitting next to the accountant’s desk chatting with her. He took out his mobile phone and sent a few messages and found that the battery was dead, so he said to the accountant, “Little Yuan girl, help me charge the battery.”

       The accountant’s age was actually not younger than him, but she was very happy to hear him call her little girl, so she took his mobile phone and plugged it into her own charger to charge his phone.

       Guan Anlin forgot to bring his mobile phone when he left in the afternoon, took the lift down to the ground floor before he remembered, and took the lift upstairs again.

       When he entered the office, the door was still open, but most of the employees had already left, leaving the door of Yu Jie’s office still open with lights on inside.

       After hesitating for a while, Guan Anlin didn’t go to greet Yu Jie, but just took his mobile phone and was about to leave. Just as he walked to the door, he passed a short middle-aged man. Guan Anlin took a look at the middle-aged man, felt very strange, and saw that he had entered Yu Jie’s company, so he stopped him and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

       The middle-aged man said, “I’ve made an appointment with Boss Yu.”

       Guan Anlin nodded and said, “Oh.” He stood there, watching the man enter Yu Jie’s office, without thinking too much, and walked towards the elevator.

       As soon as he walked into the elevator, Guan Anlin was suddenly curious about what this person was going to say to Yu Jie at this time, and when he returned, he found that the door of the office had been closed.

       Guan Anlin didn’t have a key, so naturally he couldn’t get in. But the door was a glass door, and even though it was locked, you could still see the lights in Yu Jie’s office from the outside. So he must not have left yet and was talking to the man from earlier.

       He actually wanted to catch Yu Jie in the act, but he immediately became interested in this middle-aged man who needed to sneak around and talk to Yu Jie behind closed doors, so he took the elevator down to the first floor without leaving, hid in the corner and waited patiently.

       Guan Anlin waited until it was almost dark before the middle-aged man came downstairs. After waiting for more than an hour, he secretly took two photos of the man with his mobile phone and hesitantly sent them to Long Zhanyu, “Can you find out what this is?” person?”

       Long Zhanyu replied quickly, “I’m not a private detective.”

       Guan Anlin didn’t know if Long Zhanyu would help him with the investigation, so he followed the middle-aged man out from a distance and saw him hailing a taxi by the side of the road, so he turned around and walked towards the subway station.

       When he was halfway there, Long Zhanyu’s phone call suddenly came.

       Guan Anlin answered the phone, and heard Long Zhanyu say, “Where did you meet this person? This man is a fraudster who is on the run online, named Wang Yongcheng.”

       Wang Yongcheng? Guan Anlin thought for a while and felt that this name was not familiar to him.

       Long Zhanyu continued, “He just lied to the owner of the plastic surgery hospital some time ago, let me see—” There was a click of the mouse from his side, “The person in charge of the case was reported by Shu Rong. He ran away after paying a million rent.”

       Guan Anlin reacted immediately, “You said Chen Yuncheng’s evil mother-in-law met a scammer?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “What? Oh, it’s Chen Yuncheng’s boyfriend’s mother.”

       Guan Anlin stood where he was, held the phone close to his ear, and said, “fvck! I’m sure enough, he hooked up with Yu Jie!”

       Long Zhanyu asked him, “Where is the man?”

       Guan Anlin returned to the place where Wang Yongcheng left just now, and the taxi was no longer there. He tried to recall the taxi license plate but found that he couldn’t remember it either.

       Long Zhanyu said, “Don’t worry, let’s come over and adjust the monitoring to see if we can find any clues.”

       Guan Anlin asked him, “Do you want me to wait for you here?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “No need, pay attention to your own safety, don’t let Yu Jie and the others notice.”

       After he hung up the phone, Guan Anlin looked in the direction the taxi had left, knowing full well that he couldn’t see anything else. At this moment, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind him.

       Guan Anlin turned around and saw Yu Jie who was smiling all over his face.

       Yu Jie asked him, “What are you looking at?”

       Guan Anlin followed with a smile, “It’s nothing, why were you working late?”

       Yu Jie replied, “I just had a business talk with a friend and I’m getting ready to go back now.”

       Guan Anlin nodded, “I’m also planning to go back.”

       Yu Jie asked him, “You didn’t drive today, did you? I’ll take you home.”

       Guan Anlin didn’t even think about it, and immediately refused, “No, I’ll take the subway.”

       Yu Jie put his hands into his coat pockets, the valuable watch on his left wrist was still exposed, and looked at him with a gentle smile, “Why? Wouldn’t it be nice if I gave you a lift? My friend said just now that he saw you waiting downstairs for over an hour, so you should be tired of waiting too.”

       Guan Anlin’s face changed, and then he laughed dryly, “Luckily I’m not too tired either, so I’ll go first.”

       Yu Jie stood at the same spot, looked at his back as he left, and said to him, “Guan Anlin, you really don’t have a bright mind. you’re really not very bright, you deserve to be useless for the rest of your life, and you can’t make any money. You can only work for others.”

       Guan Anlin stopped, turned around and looked at Yu Jie viciously, “What are you trying to say?”

       Yu Jie still had that calm look, “I said you have a problem with your head. I  genuinely wanted to take you to make money, and what happened back then, if Chen Yuncheng hadn’t called the police, would you have been arrested and jailed? Instead of holding a grudge against him, what do you want to do by coming after me now and keeping an eye on me at all times?”

       Guan Anlin walked up to Yu Jie and grabbed his lapels, “If Chen Yuncheng hadn’t called the police, I would have followed you to manufacture drugs, and I would be sentenced to more than just two years in prison by now!”

       “That’s why you’re an idiot!” Yu Jie said, “If he hadn’t called the police you wouldn’t have been caught at all, and we would have made a lot of money together. You can’t even afford your own house now! Do you think Chen Yuncheng is being good to you? He doesn’t think of you highly at all. Do you see his attitude towards people like Ning Junyan and his attitude towards you? In his eyes, you are like mud in the gutter, which can’t even be pasted on the wall. You still think you are his brother, you who have been in prison, who would treat you as a brother!”

       Guan Anlin raised his fist and was about to hit Yu Jie’s face, almost touching Yu Jie’s face, but he stopped suddenly, he realised that Yu Jie was deliberately provoking him for a reason he didn’t know. Someone like Yu Jie wasn’t worth the punch he threw.

       He stared hard at Yu Jie and was just about to let go when he was pushed heavily in the chest by Yu Jie.

       Guan Anlin stepped back unconsciously and saw Yu Jie fall to the ground by himself, while he heard a fierce car horn, and then was sent flying into the air by something.

       Chen Yuncheng had been restless throughout that afternoon.

       The temperature had cooled down a bit in the past two days. As the National Day11st of October approached, the temperature was getting colder by the day. The big trees in the trade market had also begun to lose their leaves with a thick layer of yellow leaves covering the ground.

       Ning Junyan was on duty at night, so Chen Yuncheng was not in a hurry to leave. He asked Wu Xiaozhu and Shi Peng to leave work first and stayed behind to wait for Guan Anlin to come back. However, it was almost eight o’clock in the evening but he hadn’t returned.

       Chen Yuncheng wanted to make a call to Guan Anlin. He just took out his phone, but before he could dial the number, the phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID showed Long Zhanyu’s name.

       “Hello?” Chen Yuncheng’s heart beat violently as he connected the call.

       Long Zhanyu’s voice came over, “Guan Anlin had a car accident and had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.”

       Chen Yuncheng finally knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from. He turned pale for a moment and asked, “Is it serious? Which hospital is it?”

       Long Zhanyu said, “It’s very serious. He was sent to the No.2 Hospital.”

       That was the hospital where Ning Junyan worked.

Chapter 22 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 3, 2023 / / 1 Comment

Chapter 22

 

This strange sensation passed in an instant, dispelling much of his drowsiness.

 

Lu Jingning suddenly felt energized and without thinking too much, he focused his attention.

 

After all, it was the first mecha class, and the content was straightforward. Each side controlled a mecha and used their pheromones to engage in a simple confrontation on the field.

 

This operation didn’t require a significant expenditure of pheromones. Although Lu Jingning had received the inhibitor injection yesterday, his overall pheromone capacity was vast. As long as the control intensity wasn’t too high, it wouldn’t have much impact. Sensory-wise, it was no different from playing pretend with them.

 

However, the other classmates clearly didn’t see it that way.

 

In their eyes, the two opposing mechas on the field seemed to exude a majestic background music on their own. When the two S-class pheromone holders made their move, it resembled a grand duel in ancient martial arts novels.

 

Everyone instinctively held their breath and watched as the two mechas took a step forward, their metallic arms clasped tightly together.

 

The scene seemed frozen for a moment. If it weren’t for the faint vibrations from the ground, one would almost think that these two were merely striking a pose on the stage.

 

People were astonished. Indeed, it was like a battle between two needlepoints. Neither side seemed to gain the upper hand!

 

After Lu Jingning entered the mecha, he felt restless excitement. In the c0ckpit, he could sense the powerful collisions between forces.

 

For some reason, at that moment, he recalled the faint scent of peppermint smoke from Wen Xingchen’s pheromones.

 

Unable to resist, he twitched his nose slightly and glanced at the iron armor in front of him. A surge of fighting spirit welled up in his eyes.

 

The presence of Wen Xingchen, an S-class Alpha, made Lu Jingning want to completely defeat him.

 

And after each successive outbreak, it seemed to ignite Wen Xingchen’s fighting spirit as well.

 

The strength on the arms of the two mechas gradually increased. Both sides exerted their efforts, but neither could overpower the other. They remained in a stalemate for a long time.

 

It seemed that someone vaguely saw a faint crack appearing on the tightly clasped mechanical arms of the two mechas.

 

Wuo Fei, the teacher of the mecha class, had been teaching at the school since he graduated. He had never witnessed such a situation before, so he was slightly taken aback before quickly regaining his composure and shouting, “Stop, both of you! That’s enough! We can end here!”

 

However, Lu Jingning had no intention of stopping.

 

After the prolonged confrontation, his pheromones seemed to be completely awakened. At this moment, they surged through his body, seeking an outlet for release due to the limited space of his small body. They uncontrollably transmitted through the sensors, fully manifesting in the mecha.

 

As his opponent, Wen Xingchen could feel a tremendous force continuously surging. Even he felt an unprecedented sense of pressure.

 

His brow involuntarily furrowed, and when he looked up, he witnessed the tightly clasped mechanical arms suddenly crack with a loud snap, distorting into a strange and peculiar shape.

 

At the same time, Wuo Fei’s face contorted in pain.

 

After all, it was his class, and how much would it cost to repair this damaged mecha? He didn’t even know if his salary for the month would be enough to cover it.

 

But at this moment, there was obviously no time for him to worry about compensation. At this point, the dark gray luster on the surface of the mecha that Lu Jingning was piloting gradually transformed into a crimson color.

 

It was the activation of the full-scale assault mode.

 

Wuo Fei couldn’t comprehend the specific situation inside the mecha, but he vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

 

As a teacher, his first reaction was to lead all his students to safety. When he turned around unintentionally, he saw the other mecha standing motionless. He shouted, “Wen Xingchen, come down first. We need to leave as soon as possible!”

 

However, Wen Xingchen didn’t respond and showed no intention of leaving. Instead, the periphery of his mecha began to emanate a blue glow.

 

Unlike Lu Jingning’s crimson color, this change indicated that he had entered full defense mode.

 

“…,” Wuo Fei had no idea what to say. He thought one Lu Jingning was enough, but now there was Wen Xingchen too. Suddenly gaining two talented students, he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

 

There was no time to linger at this moment. He quickly turned around and began guiding the other students to evacuate.

 

Just then, Lu Jingning’s mecha finally went completely berserk.

 

On the other side, Wen Xingchen took action as well.

 

Almost every time Lu Jingning was about to launch a devastating attack, Wen Xingchen managed to provide impeccable protection at the crucial moment, effectively minimizing the destruction around them.

 

Jian Luan huddled in a corner with the other students, both fearful and amazed. He looked at the now-riddled mecha classroom and couldn’t help but sigh, “Lu Jingning is indeed a genius!”

 

A nearby classmate added weakly, “Wen Xingchen is amazing too. Look at how hard he’s fighting to protect us. It’s so touching…”

 

Jian Luan couldn’t help but give him a sidelong glance and shook his head with emotion, “You’re still too young.”

 

The situation on the field was undeniably intense. However, Wen Xingchen, the ruthless individual he was, was not protecting them. It was quite clear that he was mostly defending Lu Jingning!

 

It was unclear how much time had passed, but the smoke on the field gradually subsided.

 

After the final electric punch, the crimson mecha seemed to suddenly exhaust all its energy. The color that enveloped it faded away after a brief flicker, completely dimming.

 

In the midst of rolling smoke, a figure lazily walked out of the c0ckpit.

 

Lu Jingning looked exhausted, reverting back to the state where he could sleep for days without waking up. He seemed completely unaware of his own actions. Yawning carelessly under the watchful gazes of others, he lazily stretched his sore muscles. “Ah, why is this mecha class so tiring?”

 

Insert a The crowd’s faces were indifferent.jpg.

 

They didn’t even bother to see how they had turned this perfectly fine classroom into such a mess. Consuming the pheromones at such a high intensity, it’s no wonder they’re truly exhausted!

 

Wen Xingchen also descended from the mecha and glanced at Lu Jingning, who had an expression as if nothing had happened, lost in thought.

 

Now there was hardly a place in the entire area where a person could stand. Wo Fei had to unilaterally announce the early end of the class, emphasizing with a reminder, “Lu Jingning, stay behind! I believe it’s necessary for us to settle the compensation issues!”

 

Lu Jingning: “…”

 

He really couldn’t control it just now, and he didn’t want to either!

 

…

 

It has to be said that the extent of the damage this time was indeed excessive, to the point where it surpassed what Lu Jingning could personally endure.

 

As he walked out of the office with the list in hand, he could almost imagine Lu Kongbin’s furious expression upon receiving the news, and couldn’t help but despairingly cover his face.

 

Setting aside everything else, getting a good beating at home was definitely unavoidable.

 

He couldn’t help but let out a sigh and, as he descended the stairs, he turned around and happened to see a familiar figure at the corner. He couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. “What are you doing here?”

 

Wen Xingchen raised his head. “Looking for you.”

 

Lu Jingning didn’t think too much and sincerely said, “Thanks for that, earlier in class.”

 

If it weren’t for Wen Xingchen stopping him, according to eyewitness accounts, he would have almost demolished an entire teaching building. In that case, the compensation cost would have jumped several times higher, and when he went back, it wouldn’t be as simple as getting a beating.

 

Wen Xingchen responded with a faint “Hmm” and didn’t hesitate to accept the thanks. He glanced at Lu Jingning, who was still yawning, and said, “Have you noticed anything strange after we went home yesterday?”

 

Lu Jingning looked puzzled. “No.”

 

He had been sleeping the whole time after he got back, so what could be wrong?

 

Wen Xingchen asked again, “What about during class just now?”

 

Lu Jingning was even more bewildered. “I’m not sure either, but I felt overwhelmed with pheromones, but it didn’t quite feel like being in heat.”

 

Wen Xingchen fell silent for a moment. “Well, maybe we should go to the hospital and get it checked out.”

 

Considering his own situation before, Lu Jingning thought Wen Xingchen’s suggestion made sense. He looked at him and proposed, “How about you come with me?”

 

Wen Xingchen didn’t even think about it. “Go by yourself.”

 

Lu Jingning said, “Oh, Lao Wen, don’t be so unsympathetic! Look, I have no idea what exactly happened before. You’re a bystander at least, so if the doctor asks something, you can help answer a few questions, right?”

 

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

Without waiting for a response, Lu Jingning simply took it as a yes, pulled him along, and walked out. He babbled, “You know, Lao Wen, Lu bro is fearless, except when it comes to hospitals. I’ve always been terrified of going to hospitals since I was little. Just think of it as accompanying me to gather some courage.”

 

He said that, and Wen Xingchen couldn’t really refuse.

 

…

 

After registering at the hospital, the two headed straight for the specialist clinic. Before they could say anything, they were handed a bunch of test forms as per the usual procedure.

 

After a good two hours, they finally sat in front of the doctor.

 

The doctor received the test results on the terminal, looking at them one by one. His expression changed from astonishment to surprise, then confusion, and finally to shock before turning serious.

 

Under such an excessively dramatic change in expression, not a single word was spoken.

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t bear it any longer and said, “Doctor, what’s the situation? Can you just tell us?”

 

The doctor glanced at him. “Wait a moment, let me pull up your personal file and take a look.”

 

Wen Xingchen asked, “You have a personal file?”

 

Lu Jingning smiled. “How about that? Pretty impressive, huh?”

 

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

He really likes showing off, doesn’t he?

 

After carefully reviewing the complete record in the personal file, the doctor asked in a deep voice, “Recently, have you forcibly used pheromones?”

 

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingning’s first reaction was the inducer that Zhong Feng used on him. He nodded, “I… I did? Is there a problem?”

 

“In theory, there can be some effects, but it shouldn’t have resulted in the current situation unless…” The doctor paused for a moment, looked up, and continued, “Unless, while forcibly triggering the pheromones, you were also influenced by Alpha pheromones in sync, which could lead to the excessively unstable situation you’re experiencing now. Being able to disturb your pheromones to such an extent indicates that the compatibility between that Alpha and you is at least 99% or higher.”

 

Lu Jingning was momentarily stunned by the words, and he instinctively looked at Wen Xingchen.

 

Wen Xingchen also happened to be looking at him.

 

There was a hint of surprise and doubt in their eyes, but the answer was about to reveal itself.

 

It took Lu Jingning a while to come back to his senses and said, “Doctor, so what should I do in this situation?”

 

The doctor pointed to two graphs of pheromone concentrations on the virtual screen and pushed them in front of Lu Jingning. “Take a look yourself. This is the normal Omega concentration index, and this is your current Omega concentration index. Whether it’s the peak or the trough, it far exceeds normal levels. The main thing is that these fluctuations were recorded within a mere five minutes, and the fluctuation is too significant…”

 

Lu Jingning interrupted his incessant explanation with a headache. “Um, Doctor, we don’t really understand the specifics. Can you just tell us the results directly?”

 

The doctor said, “The result is that the pheromones in your body are already extremely unstable. In addition to the naturally high concentration, if you continue in this current state, you may enter the uncontrollable state you mentioned at any time.”

 

Lu Jingning was stunned. “What should I do then?”

 

“If it was just ordinary unstability, we would generally choose to administer corresponding suppressants. But your situation is rather special. Forcing down such a high concentration of pheromones could potentially have the opposite effect. Therefore, for now, we can only opt for the recently introduced pheromone correction substance for gradual adjustment.”

 

When the doctor reached this point, he paused for a moment. “The only issue now is that this prolonged adjustment will test your personal endurance. Moreover, during the initial stages of adjustment, there is a high possibility of experiencing sudden pheromone outbreaks again.”

 

Lu Jingning: “…”

 

Today’s mecha class was already enough. If it erupts again, he won’t be able to handle it.

 

He really can’t afford to have it happen multiple times!

 

Seeing his despondent expression, the doctor couldn’t help but chuckle. “Actually, there’s another option. Using drugs to correct the pheromone chaos only serves as a forceful restraint. The most effective and direct method is an Alpha’s temporary marking.”

 

Lu Jingning: “Huh?”

 

The doctor emphasized, “The higher the compatibility with the marking Alpha, the better the effect. If there’s an Alpha willing to assist, I believe you can quickly overcome this difficult period of unstabiltiy

 

As soon as Lu Jingning heard this, he was momentarily stunned, and then a mischievous smile appeared on his face. “Lao Wen, how about…”

 

Wen Xingchen seemed as if he hadn’t heard Lu Jingning’s words. He turned to the doctor and said, “Please prepare some pheromone correction substances for him. Thank you.”

 

Lu Jingning: “Uh?”

 

Wen Xingchen acted as if he didn’t hear Lu Jingning’s words and turned to the doctor, saying, “Please prepare some pheromone correction substances for him. Thank you.”

 

Author’s Note: A long time later.

 

Wen Xingchen: Don’t ask. If you ask me about it, I deeply regret it…

Chapter 21 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

August 2, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Chapter 21

 

“Don’t be like this, just take a whiff.”

 

When Wen Xingchen saw Lu Jingning’s eyes fixated on his neck, he fell silent for a moment. One hand firmly supported Lu Jingning and created some distance between them, while the other hand took out the communicator from his pocket.

 

Jian Luan, who was waiting anxiously outside and unaware of the situation, felt confused when he received the call. He said in a bewildered tone, “What? Omega suppressants? What’s going on? Is Lu Jingning in heat?”

 

Wen Xingchen replied, “Less talk, more action.”

 

Upon hearing this unsympathetic response, Jian Luan vaguely sensed that his friend seemed to be in a bad mood. After asking for the specific location, he tactfully refrained from provoking further and promptly ended the call.

 

Although Jian Luan usually didn’t appear serious, he was quite efficient when it came to handling matters. Moreover, he held special concern for someone like Wen Xingchen, who rarely opened up. In just about ten minutes, he arrived at the scene with the suppressant.

 

In that short span of time, Wen Xingchen experienced an unprecedented torment. The person lying on top of him seemed to be burning like fire. The pheromones alone were enough to stimulate his nerves, and Lu Jingning, this oblivious Omega, occasionally moved his hand restlessly.

 

Wen Xingchen felt as if his self-control was on the verge of depletion. A fiery sensation seemed to ignite uncontrollably within him, almost escalating further. Seeing that he was nearing the point of endurance, he couldn’t help but push Lu Jingning away slightly and said, “Stop moving.”

 

Lu Jingning, in a dazed state, jokingly responded, “Just a little touch, what’s the big deal? Don’t be so stingy!”

 

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

Was this a matter of stinginess or not?

 

As an Omega, this person really had no idea about the concept of playing with fire.

 

Wen Xingchen’s peripheral vision glanced at the empty ground nearby, and he suddenly thought that it wouldn’t be bad to just throw this person on the ground. As he raised his hand to take action, he finally heard Jian Luan’s voice coming from behind, “Hey, what’s going on here?”

 

Wen Xingchen turned to look, but he hesitated for a moment due to the astonishing outfit Jian Luan was wearing.

 

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

Jian Luan was wearing the latest model of a gas mask on his head, and he was dressed in heavy decompression armor. Fully armed like this, except for the voice he just heard, it was nearly impossible to discern any facial features.

 

Wen Xingchen remained silent for a moment, then said, “Bring the suppressant.”

 

So many things were amiss that he didn’t even bother uttering the word “idiot.”

 

Only then did Jian Luan react and passed the suppressant to Wen Xingchen, bypassing the scattered “bodies” nearby.

 

Wen Xingchen took it and swiftly opened the package, injecting it into Lu Jingning.

 

Although Jian Luan was fully armed, he could still feel a subtle sense of oppression. It wasn’t until he saw the blush gradually fade from Lu Jingning’s face that he completely breathed a sigh of relief.

 

Looking at the disheveled appearance of the two, a playful thought suddenly crossed Jian Luan’s mind, “Hey, both of you have impressive self-control. Alone together in a room, and you haven’t even taken off your clothes?”

 

Wen Xingchen glanced at him, revealing a friendly smile. “If you like taking off clothes, I don’t mind serving you.”

 

Jian Luan froze and took several steps back. “No, no need! I don’t like it at all!”

 

Although Lu Jingning had calmed down from the chaos, the air was still filled with a strong scent of pheromones. Without the protective gear, he felt like he could collapse at any moment, just like those people on the ground.

 

Wen Xingchen usually appeared calm and casual, but deep down, he was more beastly than anyone else. He was capable of doing anything, and when he said he would take off his clothes, he meant it.

 

After the scorching heat in Lu Jingning’s mind receded, he gradually regained his clarity. In a daze, he couldn’t help but recall the scene when he was alone with Wen Xingchen. His gaze subconsciously glanced at Wen Xingchen’s fair and smooth neck, and he lightly licked his dry lips.

 

In addition to Yu Qingcang, he didn’t have many familiar Alphas. He had never realized that the scent of an Alpha could actually smell this good. It was a faint, minty aroma.

 

Though he momentarily got distracted, Lu Jingning quickly stabilized his breathing, which was still somewhat erratic. He couldn’t help but ask, “Should we do something about these people? Zhong Feng called the security team, and they should be here soon.”

 

Wen Xingchen pushed Lu Jingning away slightly and straightened his clothes. “Lets leave the rest to Jian Luan. I’ll take you back to rest.”

 

Jian Luan: “???”

 

Lu Jingning was indeed feeling dizzy, so after considering for a moment, he nodded, “Okay.”

 

He also made sure to give some instructions before leaving, “Make sure to tell the security team about Zhong Feng being in possession of an inducer. I refuse to believe he’ll get away with it!”

 

Wen Xingchen added, “Using such prohibited drugs is a significant offense, he’ll be locked away for at least three years. If you encounter any strange situations during the investigation, feel free to contact me.”

 

Jian Luan had an expressionless face. “…Oh.”

 

What else could he say in the face of these two who seemed to be perfectly synchronized?

 

…

 

The Omega dormitory buildings were off-limits to Alphas, so Wen Xingchen left Lu Jingning downstairs and departed.

 

When Yan Hebin heard the sound of the dormitory door opening, he turned around and saw Lu Jingning’s pale complexion, causing him to be taken aback.

 

Even the perennial ice-cold Yan Hebin couldn’t help showing a touch of concern. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

 

“It’s nothing, I’m fine.” Lu Jingning casually replied, climbing into bed and immediately falling asleep.

 

Under the influence of the suppressant, the bursting pheromones were thoroughly suppressed, but it inevitably left him incredibly drowsy, more so than ever before.

 

After Wen Xingchen finished sending Lu Jingning off, he received a call from Jian Luan. He stood by the roadside and answered, attracting the attention of the Omega students returning to their dormitories.

 

According to Jian Luan’s description, the security team arrived shortly after they left. After explaining the situation, even the experienced officers were bewildered. Clearly, they had never heard of this kind of Omega pheromone. Since Zhong Feng, the person who made the call, had already fainted, the police decided to temporarily send everyone at the scene to the hospital for monitoring, while awaiting further investigation.

 

Wen Xingchen had no objections to this.

 

Such an openly exposed incident was easy to investigate. As long as Lu Jingning remained firm,

 

 Zhong Feng’s expulsion would be a minor consequence. All the culprits, including Wen Xingchen, would be sentenced to a few years in prison.

 

The Empire had special protective regulations for Omegas, but it didn’t reduce the crime rate among those despicable Alphas. Whenever a case was discovered, it would be thoroughly investigated.

 

After hanging up, Wen Xingchen found Lu Jingning’s contact number and sent a concise message explaining the current situation.

 

As expected, he received no response.

 

He must be sleeping.

 

…

 

Lu Jingning saw the message the next morning.

 

The long sleep gave him a headache. After reading the message, he first went to the security team to give a statement, following Wen Xingchen’s reminder. They asked him to wait for further notice, so he walked into the mecha classroom, his messy golden hair resembling a bird’s nest.

 

Today’s class was about mecha control, which was undoubtedly novel and enticing for new students.

 

The classmates were enthusiastically discussing, but they fell silent for a moment when Lu Jingning entered the room, their gazes shifting towards him.

 

Within a day, the rumors about the warehouse incident had spread, and everyone had heard something about it. Although the rumors stated that after Zhong Feng used the heat inducer, the thugs fought each other for the Omega, after piecing together their own experiences with Lu Jingning’s pheromones, it was easy to guess what had happened.

 

On one hand, they despised Zhong Feng’s vile tricks, but on the other hand, they couldn’t help but feel sorry for those involved.

 

Well, they got themselves into trouble, right?

 

It was unfortunate but who told him to provoke Lu Jingning, the big troublemaker? It seemed like it was destined for him to court death!

 

Many concerned classmates gathered around to express their care, and Lu Jingning, for some reason, started feeling drowsy again. He yawned and responded absentmindedly before sitting down next to Wen Xingchen.

 

Wen Xingchen glanced at his expression. “Feeling tired?”

 

Lu Jingning replied, “Not really, I just feel like sleeping a bit.”

 

Jian Luan kindly reminded him, “Big bro, it’s okay to doze off in other classes, but today’s mecha class involves practical combat! Don’t miss anything, or you might end up causing an accident again.”

 

Lu Jingning yawned again. “Don’t worry, I’m tired of mechas. I can operate them even with my eyes closed.”

 

Jian Luan: “???”

 

You’re tired of mechas too? What kind of background do you have?

 

Perhaps to demonstrate that he could live up to his words, when the mecha instructor began explaining the first control theory, Lu Jingning simply rested his head on the desk and fell asleep instantly.

 

Wen Xingchen lowered his gaze and happened to see the smooth skin between his exposed neck, along with drool dripping from the corner of his soft lips.

 

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

Lu Jingning peacefully slept through the comfortable first half of the class. However, when it came to the practical session, he couldn’t continue sleeping peacefully.

 

The first mecha class taught the most basic control techniques, mainly to familiarize students with the feeling of integrating their pheromone abilities into mecha control. Overall, it wasn’t too difficult.

 

After other classmates took turns going up to complete the practical exercises in teams, only two people remained: Lu Jingning and Wen Xingchen.

 

Both were S-class, and although it was just a basic exercise, no one wanted to be their opponent.

 

After all, no one liked the feeling of being completely dominated.

 

Having an S-class Omega and an S-class Alpha in the same situation was a match made in heaven!

 

When Lu Jingning entered the mecha control room, he was still yawning. He glanced at the control equipment and activated its pheromone integration mode.

 

Just as the instructor said, it was a moderately sophisticated low-level mecha.

 

To Lu Jingning, it was similar to the small mechas that Lu Kongbin used to give him to play with as a child. It could be said that it couldn’t get any simpler for him. However, during the integration process, he inexplicably felt as if the pheromones were faintly colliding within his body.

 

A surge of heat, like an electric current, surged from his feet, instantly rushing to his head.

 

But just when he thought it would explode in his mind, that strange feeling seemed to disappear without a trace, as if it had never happened, like a fleeting illusion.

 

Lu Jingning furrowed his brow with confusion.

 

What was going on?

 

Author’s Note: The head-patting squad from the comments section yesterday: “I don’t care about what you think, I only care about what I think! Quickly tell me what I want to know!”

 

Wen Xingchen: “I refuse to do 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~
