Chapter 39 – The Main Course

       Xu Ye looked at Chu Yu in confusion, but before he could react, he was already lifted in princess style. The change in posture caused the insertion in his body to be squeezed deeply, causing him to grunt, panting, and reach out to wrap his arms around the man’s neck, seeking solace.

       The warm and tender body in his embrace, the teary eyes, and the complete surrender all ignited the desire suppressed in the man’s eyes, instantly spreading into a raging inferno. He carried Xu Ye all the way into the master bedroom on the second floor and then pinned him down forcefully between the soft mattresses. It was as if a hungry beast had caught its first prey in days, and it couldn’t wait but was reluctant to take a bite. The delicate kisses travelled down from the lips, licking, gently devouring, flowing in every sensitive area that made Xu Ye tremble, skimming over those red whip marks that had not yet dissipated, like leaving a mark of one’s white jade like body, as if marking territory.

       “Hmm…” Xu Ye’s whole body softened in the heat of the moment, and he lay on his back in a powerless state, letting the man take charge of everything. His inner thighs were tortured by the man’s lips and teeth, sometimes tensed and sometimes quivering. The pillow raised the back of the waist, the knees were held and pulled outwards, and the asshole with a thick massage stick appeared shyly in front of the other party. “Don’t look…” Xu Ye trembled in shame, trying to bring his legs together, but he couldn’t resist at all; instead, he was spread wider.

       “Don’t move.” The man took off his bathrobe and threw it on the ground.

       A naked body.

       Clean and crisp muscle lines.

       A beastly expression filled with dangerous desire.

       Facing Chu Yu like this, Xu Ye felt that even the air became hot, and the restless desire in his body intensified. However, when his gaze fell upon the astonishingly formidable weapon between the other’s thighs, his face turned pale, and he trembled with unease.

       The man patted his buttocks soothingly and pulled out the di-do submerged in the asshole little by little. His deep voice was heart-warming and gentle, “Slave, I will not hurt you.” He said softly, “Never.”

       Hearing those words, Xu Ye suddenly felt a little sour. Chu Yu’s crotch had swelled to such an extent. As a man, he knew how uncomfortable it was to endure. In order to minimize all possible injuries and pains, his master suppressed his desire in an almost perverted way, patiently waiting for him to gradually adapt with long foreplay.

       —How do you know that I don’t like you the same way you like me?

       In a trance, Xu Ye suddenly remembered the words he said, and his heart seemed to be filled with something, rich and warm.

       The moment the di-do completely left the body, the top of the hot and hard tip of the man’s c0ck touched the entrance of his asshole. Xu Ye resisted the instinct to shrink back and tremblingly opened his mouth, “Master… everything about me belongs to you, please…” Unable to continue speaking, his face flushed like a blazing cloud. He looked at the other party with glistening eyes, and he shyly raised his lower body slightly to match the angle at which the other party entered. Like a sacrificial tribute, he reverently handed himself over to the gods.

       The strings of reason snapped. Chu Yu couldn’t bear it any longer, stood up and rammed his c0ck into the front end of Xu Ye’s secret cave.

       “Ahn…” A vague moan echoed in the huge bedroom. The man’s c0ck, which was bigger than the di-do, stretched the sphincter to the limit. Xu Ye trembled all over and tightly grasped the bed sheet with his eyes closed.

       The man’s breathing also became heavy. The front of the c0ck surrounded by moisture and heat pushed open the tunnel, and the extreme pleasure spread from there to the limbs. “Open your eyes.” Chu Yu spread Xu Ye’s legs that were powerlessly hanging by his side further apart and supported his buttocks with his palms to force him to raise his lower abdomen.

       From such an angle, the slave could clearly see every detail of his master’s entry. It was like a simple, brutal ritual that signalled his master’s complete possession of him.

       Under the command, Xu Ye tremblingly watched the ferocious weapon slowly but firmly penetrate inch by inch. The feeling of the tunnel being stretched to the limit by the man’s thick intruding object made him breathless. Every time the c0ck entered, some of the lubricating fluid in the body was squeezed out, dripping down the cracks of his buttocks and wetting the bedsheets.

       “Good boy, relax.” Chu Yu’s voice was a little hoarse as he patiently and gently rubbed the opening of Xu Ye’s hole. The moment the person under him gradually softened his waist, he pushed up and thrust the whole thing in completely.

       “Ah—” Xu Ye, who was caught off guard by such an intrusion, arched his body backwards like he was electrocuted and gasped in shock. The passage contracted in response, tightly wrapping the hot shaft that lay across the body. The man grunted and smiled wryly, “Relax, slave, you are clamping too tightly.”

       The giant beast that lurked in the pathway remained motionless, giving the other man enough time to adjust, and Chu Yu leaned in, relentlessly soothing him with small kisses. The man’s wet and hot tongue curled up the bud on his chest, taking it into his mouth and biting it with light and heavy strokes. The subtle pain and tingling sensations were mixed together, and the lust that dissipated due to the discomfort was aroused again.

       “Master… uhn…” Xu Ye’s eyes were full of tears as he panted to relax his tense body. The feeling of soreness in his asshole made him go crazy, and he recklessly spit out two words, “Hold me… “

       There was a vague low laugh from above. “You’re getting more and more courageous. You dare to order me now, huh?” With that rising nasal sound, the man slammed his slowly partially withdrawn shaft. Xu Ye let out a scream and gasped to catch Chu Yu’s arms that were propped up on both sides of his body.

       The man pressed Xu Ye’s wrists above his head and began to move slowly. Each stroke was a gentle withdrawal, followed by a ferocious slam into the depths. When he thrust until his shaft all went in, the ballsack slapped the buttocks and made a clapping sound, intertwined with the sound of the lubricating fluid stirring, forming a lewd and erotic concerto. Such a powerful attack made Xu Ye completely defeated, moaning intermittently, “Woo…Master, I was wrong…ahn, I was wrong…”

       As the frequency of the pumping and thrusting continued to increase, Xu Ye threw back his slender neck like a dying swan, and his crying moan echoed in the room. When the hot tip hit a certain place, the extreme pleasure brought by the gland being squeezed made him dizzy for a while, and the delicate genitals between his legs dripped transparent liquid. Xu Ye shuddered and cried out tremblingly, “Ah—there, no…Master…”

       “You don’t have the right to say ‘no’ to me.” Chu Yu’s lustful voice sounded as intoxicating as opium, “If I hear those words again, I’ll gag your mouth until you can’t cry out anymore.” Every thrust after went straight to the extremely sensitive point, and Xu Ye, who had been overwhelmed to the point of insanity, had already lost the ability to think, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were hanging on his eyelashes. He cried out hoarsely, “I can’t take it anymore…ah, master, please…” The flush that rose all over his body made him look very seductive, and his out-of-focus eyes were in a daze. All the senses were lost; only the stimulation brought by the repeated thrust was layered one after another, tumultuously undulating, eagerly seeking a release.

       “You are not allowed to cum until I allow it.” The man’s orders were ringing in his ears, and at this moment, Xu Ye was already lost in the sea of surging desire, and the heavy thrusts made it difficult for him to control himself any longer, so he cried out and arched his body like a fish. The moment the white milky liquid spewed out from his c0ck, his asshole tightened up as if it was a hot and humid mouth sucking hard on the c0ck that invaded it.

       Chu Yu’s vigorous desire was almost gushed out by Xu Ye’s forceful grip. He panted and looked at the man below him, trembling absentmindedly after orga-m, and pursed his lips, “It seems today I need to teach you some bedroom manners.”

       Before Xu Ye could regain his senses, his body had already been turned upside down into a kneeling position. The rear entry style will allow the intruder to penetrate deeper, and such a kneeling position similar to animal mating would be more humiliating psychologically. Xu Ye’s legs were still a little weak, and as soon as the man moved, he was slapped heavily on his buttocks.

       “Kneel down.” The man ordered in a deep voice.

       Xu Ye didn’t dare to move anymore and stiffly maintained a posture with a soft waist and buttocks. The feeling of not being able to see the other party at all made him feel a little panicked. The moment he turned his head and looked back, Chu Yu pushed in hard, making him almost unsteady on his knees.

       “Ahh—Master…”

       “Who allowed you to look back?”

       The man’s ferocious repeated thrust gave Xu Ye the illusion that his body was about to be pierced, and the two hands that were firmly confined to the side of his waist gave him no place to hide. He clutched the bed sheet tightly, begging for mercy softly, “Master, it hurts… ah… I was wrong, please…”

       “Do you still remember that I am your Master?” The punitive intrusion was a little rougher than before. Every time the c0ck submerged in the depths was pulled out quickly, the tender flesh at the mouth of the hole will be turned up, and the powerful slap of the ballslack made a sluggish sound on the buttocks. Chu Yu said in a deep voice, “Reflect on what you did wrong just now.”

       Unspeakable pain and pleasure mingled together, concentrated in the sunken honeypot behind him. The hot pen-s that came in and out between the buttocks made Xu Ye, who was powerless to resist, tremble. He choked, stuttering out about his guilt intermittently, “I offended you just now. I shouldn’t have told you no…ah, it hurts…I shouldn’t have ejaculated without your permission…I know I was wrong, Master… woo woo, I shouldn’t have looked back… I don’t dare anymore… forgive me…”

       The appearance of the docile and kneeling person trembling and begging for mercy under his control was more likely to arouse the desire to torture in the heart of a man. Chu Yu could have many means to punish this disobedient slave; even the little toys he had prepared were useless. On the one hand, because this was Xu Ye’s first night, he needed to control the whole process not to be too intense. On the other hand, he hoped to enjoy more raw sex with Xu Ye. With no other barrier, only each other.

       To Chu Yu’s surprise, their bodies fit very well. Except for the fact that Xu Ye’s ejaculation tolerance still needs to be adjusted, the intercourse process was almost perfect. Xu Ye didn’t resist the insertion and could enjoy the pleasure. Maybe he didn’t even realize that when the sensitive point was hit, he would subconsciously tighten his asshole as if he wanted to keep the intruder in. This feeling made Chu Yu very happy.

       Under the repeated thrust, the c0ck between Xu Ye’s legs quietly raised his head again. Chu Yu pulled out his c0ck, which was still stiff, and asked him to turn over and lie on his back. “You want me to forgive you?”

       Xu Ye nodded his head with a trembling voice, his eyelashes already wet with tears.

       “Okay.” There was a playful smile on Chu Yu’s lips, “Hold your knees with both hands and spread your legs wide. Then express your sincerity to me.”

       Xu Ye spread himself as commanded, and there was an inexplicable emptiness in the stretched and abandoned tunnel. The invitation-like gesture was so humiliating that he was at a loss for words. He looked at the man tremblingly and called out softly, “Master…”

       Chu Yu squinted his eyes and remained motionless.

       “Please…” Xu Ye spat out those few words pitifully, “Mmm…Master, please come in…” Seeing that the other party still didn’t respond, his face turned blood red, and he cried, “Please thrust in…”

       The man chuckled, and when his hot pen-s entered again, he was much gentler, squeezing out the emptiness in the secret passage bit by bit. Xu Ye made a vague guttural sound and relaxed his body obediently. When he was being entered, he had an unprecedented feeling of being filled with his soul, banishing the loneliness and isolation that had followed him for so many years.

       Insertion. Withdrawal. All the desire to be given by another man. It made him want to rely on it, to drown in it.

       In the hands of his master, Xu Ye’s sensitivity was unbelievably high, and he could easily ejaculate when he squeezed the prostate continuously. However, Chu Yu’s durability was also astonishingly high. After Xu Ye disobediently ejaculated for the first time, the man no longer allowed him to ejaculate. The poor slave was held tightly by the genitals, tremblingly enduring wave after wave of desire, and when he was in a state of confusion, he uttered many shameful pleas under the man’s teasing, waiting to be allowed to be with the other party to cum. He was crying so hard that his voice was hoarse when the man allowed him to cum.

       After the afterglow of the climax, Chu Yu held Xu Ye in his arms and stroked his sweaty hair with his fingers, “Is it uncomfortable?”

       Xu Ye leaned his head on the man’s shoulder and could feel the rising and falling breathing of the other party. He shook his head, hesitated, and asked, “Just now…did I make you feel good?”

       “You care more about my feelings?”

       “I want to know, compared to your previous slaves…” He glanced at the man’s expression and dared not continue, full of regret in his heart, and apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry, master.”

       Chu Yu didn’t speak.

       The atmosphere became a little stiff. Xu Ye curled up, not daring to move.

       “Xu Ye.” After a moment of silence, the man raised his hand and rubbed his hair, “Every dom has different criteria when choosing a sub. The reason why I chose you is not because I want to casually find a sub to relieve my loneliness, nor is it because you are better than all the others.” He paused, “For me, you are special. There’s something so pure in your eyes that draws me to you. I love the way you give me trust and dependence little by little. It’s beautiful. So don’t worry about the things you can’t control. Just be yourself.”

       Xu Ye put his arms around his master’s waist, pressed his face against his chest, and said softly, “Okay.”

       “Get up and take a shower.” Chu Yu patted his butt. 

       Xu Ye’s legs were already weak, and he wanted to force himself to get up, but as soon as he got off the bed, he was carried across the room into the bathroom by the man.

Chapter 60 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

Chapter 60

In the temporary mech adjustment room, Lu Jingning was tilting his head, taking a few sips of energy drink. His gaze wandered through the only small window on the wall, lost in thought. 

 

Beside him, Yan Hebin had just finished the final adjustments. After putting away the data in his hands, he happened to see Lu Jingning sitting there and asked, “Feeling tired?”

 

Lu Jingning came back to his senses upon hearing the question, and replied somewhat unclearly, “A bit.”

 

He scratched the hair on the side of his head and instinctively glanced out of the window. It had been quite some time since they strictly followed the Rule of Alpha chasing, but there was no specific duration mentioned, leaving him uncertain about how long he should wait before making a move.

 

Having refrained from flirting for a few days due to some recent events, Lu Jingning was getting the urge to approach Wen Xingchen again. On the other hand, he was also afraid that this cat-and-mouse game might not be at the right level yet, leading to failure.

 

After pondering for a while, he finally made a decision. Since they were currently busy with the university’s mech exchange event, it should be almost time to make a move after it’s over. He could arrange a uniquely creative confession, one that would be considered perfect.

 

With his mind made up, Lu Jingning temporarily set aside his thoughts about that matter and focused on the mech, asking, “Is the mech finally complete?”

 

Yan Hebin nodded and said, “Yes, it’s completed.”

 

As they spoke, the door to the temporary mech adjustment room opened from the outside, and two people entered one after the other. When Bing Yunlin saw them standing there, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes as he asked, “Are you both ready?”

 

Yan Hebin nodded again, and Yu Zeyang walked up to the console, quickly checking all aspects of the attributes and evaluating, “The completion level is very high.”

 

Lu Jingning had not seen this vice president since the pirate incident. Although their relationship had eased a bit, he was still particularly sensitive to matters of sexual orientation discrimination. So, when he found a chance to catch Yu Zeyang off-guard, he couldn’t help but seize the opportunity.

 

With his sarcasm skill in full swing, Lu Jingning hoped to make the usually arrogant guy bow his head and apologize right then and there. Indeed, as expected, Yu Zeyang’s face turned sour when he was provoked, and he retorted, “You know nothing!”

 

Lu Jingning raised an eyebrow, feeling satisfied, and said, “You’re wrong. I know much more than you do!”

 

Bing Yunlin, finding the situation amusing, interrupted their confrontation, saying, “Alright, that’s enough from both of you.”

 

Upon Bing Yunlin’s stern look, Yu Zeyang held back what he wanted to say. Before leaving, however, he stopped at the doorway and turned to Lu Jingning, saying, “Yan Hebin’s mech is indeed very powerful, but it also means it demands a lot from the operator. When you participate in the exchange event, you must pay attention to the distribution of pheromones. Don’t… embarrass our club.”

 

Though Lu Jingning had full confidence in his own pheromone control, and his previous disorder had completely recovered, he found it slightly irritating that Yu Zeyang seemed to be overemphasizing the issue. Smiling nonchalantly, he replied, “Vice President, rest assured. Mech control is my expertise.”

 

It was indeed the truth, but the tone he used made it sound like he was bragging.

 

Yu Zeyang seemed like he wanted to say something else, but Bing Yunlin pulled him away by the collar, saying, “Stop nagging. They know what they’re doing. Don’t you have other things to attend to? Don’t let it get in the way.”

 

Quietly watching the two leave, Yan Hebin suddenly spoke up, “Did you notice that the vice president seems to be overly concerned about Omega operating mechs?”

 

“Who cares what he does? That guy is a potential straight-Alpha cancer!” Lu Jingning clearly didn’t have much interest in the topic. He stretched lazily and asked, “So, is there anything else? If not, I’m going back, feeling so tired…”

 

 

The next afternoon during the specialized class, Lu Jingning continued to maintain his aloof and cool demeanor as planned. Wen Xingchen looked at his expressionless face and struggled to resist the urge to remove the mask he was wearing. The night before, he had thought it through and decided to follow Lu Jingning’s pace, assuming such a thing really existed.

 

Letting out a sigh in his heart, Wen Xingchen asked, “So, you’re leaving today?”

 

“Yeah, I’ll probably be back in about three days,” Lu Jingning replied.

 

Calculating the time, Wen Xingchen said, “That works. I might also be away from school for the next few days.”

 

Lu Jingning was taken aback, “Where are you going?”

 

Wen Xingchen lowered his gaze slightly, “I’m not sure yet, maybe back home.”

 

“Alright then! See you in three days!” Lu Jingning smiled, looking at him.

 

“Sure, see you in three days,” Wen Xingchen replied, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

 

 

The college mech exchange event was scheduled to be held on Ladrian Star in the Seventh Galaxy. In the afternoon, all six members of the Mech Club gathered at the temporary campus entrance and headed to the main spaceport to board a long-distance light cruiser. By the time they arrived at the pre-arranged hotel, it was already night.

 

Lu Jingning and Yan Hebin were assigned to the same room. After resting for the night, they followed Bing Yunlin’s lead the next morning to the event venue.

 

Ladrian Star was a densely populated main planet, and Borla City, as the capital city of the planet, was thriving and bustling. Lu Jingning dozed off in the aircraft until he heard someone exclaiming in surprise, prompting him to lazily open his eyes.

 

His gaze fell through the transparent barrier, and a towering mech-shaped building entered his vision. The Empire had developed nine major galaxies, each with its own unique civilization. The Seventh Galaxy’s mech technology had matured the most, with most of the Empire’s military mechs being the work of the mech masters here. The highly renowned Mech Master Association was also located on Ladrian Star, a testament to the strength of mech civilization.

 

The college mech exchange event was being held at the iconic “Steel Body” building in Borla City.

 

Although Lu Jingning had visited various planets, it was his first time in Borla City. He couldn’t help but take an interest in the majestic and magnificent mech-shaped architecture before him.

 

This event gathered representatives from various major colleges, including the team from Heavy Cloud Defense University, where Lu Jingning went to. There was a girl from Heavy Cloud’s delegation who had exchanged a few words with him during the social gathering, and they continued chatting and laughing with each other.

 

When the girl mentioned that he was carried out by Wen Xingchen the other night, Lu Jingning couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his cheek and said, “Well… I wasn’t really drunk. Do you believe me?”

 

The girl found his slightly awkward appearance adorable and quickly reassured him, “I believe you, of course.”

 

Lu Jingning fell silent at her tone, clearly indicating that she didn’t believe him at all. It was like comforting a child.

 

An Huo, who was standing nearby, overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but laugh, covering his mouth. “What’s this? You guys had such an exciting entertainment program at your exchange match? The president didn’t tell us about it after coming back!”

 

Bing Yunlin chuckled without changing his expression. “It was just a social gathering, nothing to talk about.”

 

In the midst of this harmonious conversation, Yu Zeyang stood there absentmindedly, scanning the venue as if looking for something.

 

At that moment, a team of people entered through the main entrance, and when he looked up, his lips slightly tightened.

 

The others in the venue also noticed the team of people who seemed to be college students. However, from the moment they appeared, all the others stopped their conversations and turned their gazes in their direction.

 

The girl, who was chatting with Lu Jingning, exclaimed, “It’s the Thunder Research University!”

 

The others were also astonished, except for the few from the Imperial Navy, whose expressions were inscrutable.

 

The name “Thunder Research University” sounded somewhat familiar to Lu Jingning. He thought it should be a well-known institution. Just as he was about to ask Yan Hebin about it, he saw the team of people walking straight toward them after entering the venue.

 

The leader stopped not far from them and spoke in a flat tone, “I heard that your restriction was lifted early this year, but I thought it was just a rumor. I didn’t expect you to show up so eagerly right after the ban was lifted. If I were you, I wouldn’t have the nerve.”

 

Bing Yunlin smiled calmly, “Long time no see, Wen Han.”

 

Wen Han, the leader of the other team, was tall, but compared to most Alphas, he appeared slightly slender. Although he had a refined aura, it lacked the elegance and gentleness that Bing Yunlin had. Instead, he emanated a chilling fierceness due to his overly pale skin.

 

His sharp gaze swept over Bing Yunlin’s face, and then he looked at the stern expression on Yu Zeyang’s face. He smirked, seemingly half-smiling, half-sneering, “So, you couldn’t wait to show your face right after the ban was lifted? If I were you, I wouldn’t have such thick skin.”

 

Facing such an open provocation, according to Yue Yang’s understanding of Yu Zeyang, he should have exploded on the spot. However, unexpectedly, he just pursed his lips and remained silent, an unprecedented display of restraint.

 

Nevertheless, Wen Han seemed to have anticipated his response and didn’t pay it much attention. His gaze casually swept over the members of the Imperial Navy delegation. It halted slightly when he saw Lu Jingning and Yan Hebin, then he uttered, “Omegas?”

 

Bing Yunlin intercepted him discreetly as he attempted to approach them and said, “Our club members don’t need President Wen’s concern.”

 

“Indeed, it’s not my place to interfere,” Wen Han raised his gaze, glancing at Lu Jingning and the others, and then a trace of coldness emerged in his smile. “However, I think there are some things these two junior brothers should know.”

 

Apart from Lu Jingning and Yan Hebin, the other visitors were all students above their sophomore year. The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie.

 

Sensing the unusual situation, the people from Heavy Cloud Defense University found a pretext and tactfully left.

 

Lu Jingning could feel the restrained and guarded emotions from everyone, even from An Huo, who usually had a good temper. They all directed their gazes at the person before them.

 

Yu Zeyang clenched his teeth and said, “Wen Han, you have a grudge against me!”

 

“Oh? Are you afraid of people finding out?” Wen Han sneered, then coldly retorted, “Are you afraid to face the consequences of your own mistakes? Why was the Imperial Navy University’s mecha club banned for two years? Your club members should know the reason, shouldn’t they?”

 

Yu Zeyang’s back stiffened slightly.

 

Wen Han’s tone turned slightly heavy. “Throughout the century since the establishment of the Mecha Pilots Association, it’s the first time they have issued such a severe ban on a university’s mecha club. In some way, you could say that you’ve created history, couldn’t you?”

 

Bing Yunlin frowned, “Wen Han, that’s enough.”

 

Wen Han coldly laughed, “Enough? How could it be enough? Concealing the truth like this, are you planning to let the same tragedy happen again?”

 

Yu Zeyang tightened his fists, and the excessive force almost embedded his fingers into his palms.

 

Lu Jingning could tell that Yu Zeyang was almost driven crazy by the relentless pressure from Wen Han.

 

Though he wasn’t entirely satisfied with this vice president, he couldn’t let his own people be bullied in front of outsiders.

 

Moreover, this outsider was using him as an excuse for their actions, which made him unhappy.

 

So, he lazily raised his eyelids and suddenly asked without warning, “President Wen Han, do you live by the seaside?”

 

Wen Han was taken aback by the digression, “What?”

 

Lu Jingning continued nonchalantly, “Otherwise, how could you have such a broad perspective?”

 

Wen Han: “…”

 

Lu Jingning continued, “You come here for an exchange competition, so manage your own team. What right do you have to interfere in the affairs of our Imperial Navy University? Is our president dead or something?”

 

Bing Yunlin shot him a glance.

 

Lu Jingning pretended not to notice and went on, “You yourself said that our club has been unbanned. If it’s unbanned, then participating in the exchange competition is legitimate. If you’re dissatisfied, why not directly complain to the Mecha Pilots Association? As for the previous ban, whether it lasts for years or is lifted, what’s it to you? You love to talk so much, do your family members know?”

 

Wen Han, born into a scholarly family, was being treated this rudely for the first time. He was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot, but he managed to retain his composure after a while and said with a grim expression, “Do you know that I’m doing this for your own good?”

 

Lu Jingning smiled faintly, “Thank you for your concern. My whole family thanks you.”

 

Wen Han struggled to maintain his last shred of reason, his face turning gloomy as he spoke, “Do you know what kind of person you are defending? Two years ago, a significant accident resulted in the death of an Omega student from your Imperial Navy University! All of this could have been avoided, but the vice president you support, for the sake of some trivial honor, was so greedy and heartless that he didn’t try to stop it!”

 

Bing Yunlin intervened, “Wen Han, there’s no need to involve the freshmen in our grievances.”

 

“Is there really no need? Concealing the truth and not letting them know, what is your purpose?” Wen Han’s voice grew heavy. “Everyone has the right to know, they should be aware that the so-called vice president is a person who can easily sacrifice others for his own glory!”

 

Yu Zeyang’s eyes dimmed distinctly, facing such accusations, but he did not refute a word.

 

Lu Jingning exchanged a glance with Yan Hebin.

 

Under the deluge of information, they seemed to have suddenly understood something.

 

However, there was no time to delve deeper into it at this moment. Seeing that Wen Han seemed relentless in pushing the members of the mecha club into an abyss, Lu Jingning cleared his throat slowly, appearing to smile but not really, and asked, “So, what’s the point of all this?”

 

Wen Han seemed somewhat unresponsive, “What do you mean, ‘what’s the point of all this’?”

 

“Exactly, what’s the point?” Lu Jingning’s tone was light. “I can only say that you truly don’t understand soldiers. If we receive orders from our superiors, we will always obey unconditionally. Do you think sacrificing oneself for honor is worthless? As you said, this kind of death comes with absolute glory. Soldiers never hesitate to strive for honor! If we die in the process, well, it means our strength was inadequate. On the other hand, you, with such a self-righteous attitude, pressing on step by step, it’s quite embarrassing, you know?”

 

Seeing that the other party still seemed puzzled, Lu Jingning sighed slightly, feeling tired, and summarized, “In short, I don’t care about past right and wrong, and likewise, it’s none of your damn business whether I’m willing to give my life for the mecha club or not!”

Chapter 6 – I’ll wait for you on a spring day

Chapter 6

 

11.

 

On the twelfth day of being together with Song Zexu, Li Chou had just entered the flower shop in the morning when Lin Xiaomin came to him from behind.

 

Lin Xiaomin was carrying a light pink, Hello Kitty suitcase and a plain white backpack on her back. She deliberately put on light makeup and came to tell Li Chou that the teacher will not come to teach in the town next semester, so she will go to the city to find him and stay in the city.

 

Li Chou understood Lin Xiaomin’s character. He also expected that she would definitely go to that male teacher in this situation and he couldn’t interfere with other people’s love life and could only offer a few words of advice: “Remember to call me when you arrive. I know you like him very much, but I don’t know how much he likes you. Don’t like him too much, if that teacher bullies you, give me a call and I’ll go find you.”

 

Li Chou remembered that Lin Xiaomin had asthma, so he said, “Oh, by the way, remember to take your medicine at all times.”

 

The girl was finally going to meet her beloved. Lin Xiaomin smiled sweetly. She didn’t care about Li Chou’s nagging, there were pink bubbles all over her head, and she said: “I know that, besides, who can bully me?”

 

“That’s right, you are so fierce.” Li Chou picked out a bouquet of relatively expensive white roses from the shop and gave it to Lin Xiaomin, saying, “These flowers are a farewell gift, I wish you find your own happiness.”

 

Lin Xiaomin took the initiative to ignore Li Chou calling her fierce and took the white roses. She thanked him and then suddenly thought of something. She took off her backpack and took out a beautifully packaged gift box. She handed it to Li Chou and said, “Open it and have a look.”

 

Li Chou took the gift box, opened it in response, and was startled when he saw what was inside. He was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lin Xiaomin in surprise, and said: “Where did you get it?”

 

Li Chou was really surprised that Lin Xiaomin was able to get Song Zexu’s autographed album.

 

When Song Zexu was 18 years old, he released an album at the request of his true fans. At that time, the album was very cheap. After Song Zexu became popular, these albums went out of print. When Li Chou went online to collect it, the price of the non-signed version had already reached five figures, and the signed version was even more expensive.

 

The price was sky-high, and it was very rare, so Li Chou gritted his teeth and accepted a non-signed copy.

 

It’s hard to imagine how much it would’ve cost Lin Xiaomin to help him get the signed version.

 

“Be happy.” Lin Xiaomin raised her eyebrows, “I finally got it and I’m afraid you’ll miss me if you don’t see me around after I’m gone.”

 

Lin Xiaomin stuck out her tongue and continued: “My friend’s sister is an old fan of Song Zexu. I heard that Song Zexu has suspended work indefinitely. She was not happy and then climbed the fence to Tan Jing, so I bought this album from her. It is so expensive, but our friendship is priceless, so be happy. “

 

“I’m happy.” Li Chou smiled, “Thank you so much.”

 

“Here, here.”

 

12.

 

Li Chou returned home with the album at noon, and he put the album in the CD case in the drawer of the bedroom desk, but because he liked listening to the title song in Song Zexu’s old album, the CD was put directly into the CD player. This was so he would be able to listen to the song whenever he then turned on the CD player.

 

After playing the entire album, he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch and after a while he heard Song Zexu calling him from outside.

 

Li Chou wiped his hands on his apron, poked his head out from the kitchen and asked, “What’s wrong?”

 

Song Zexu asked him, “Did you see my notebook?”

 

Song Zexu was bored at home during this time so he writes songs, draws or paints casually. Although he still couldn’t see, he could vaguely see some light and sometimes see the little outlines of the things he painted.

 

In the beginning, he used Li Chou’s rough notebooks from when he was studying. But later, Li Chou felt that he shouldn’t be writing songs so casually, so he deliberately went to the stationery store and bought the most expensive notebook for Song Zexu.

 

Li Chou recalled carefully. He seemed to have seen it on the desk just now, so he said, “It should be on the desk in the bedroom.”

 

“Thank you.” Song Zexu walked towards the bedroom.

 

Li Chou responded and went back to the kitchen to cook.

 

Song Zexu could almost walk on his own these days after Li Chou put away all the sharp and angular things in the house. Song Zexu touched the wall and walked to the bedroom by himself. Fortunately the apartment is not big, so Song Zexu only travels between the bedroom and the living room, sometimes going to the balcony to stand for a while, but Li Chou also took protective measures for that.

 

While cutting the carrot, Li Chou always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn’t recall, so he cut the carrot into two halves before cutting the carrot a second time.

 

At that time, Li Chou dropped the knife and ran towards the bedroom. As soon as he stepped into the bedroom, he heard a low-pitched, magnetic singing sound from the room.

 

Li Chou covered his face and cursed silently in his heart. He really miscalculated. He usually didn’t put the CD player directly on the table, but he just so happened to have cleaned it up at that time. He forgot when Song Zexu was out of sight, so he didn’t expect that Song Zexu might touch the CD by mistake when he went to find the notebook.

 

Coincidentally, he also put it in and turned it on.

 

“Uh…” Song Zexu stood there in a daze.

 

After a while, he tentatively asked, “Is this… my song?”

 

“…Yes.” Li Chou hurried over and turned off the CD player, ending the embarrassing singing, “It’s your song.”

 

Song Zexu was a little surprised. He asked: “Don’t you like Tan Jing? How come there is my album…”

 

As if thinking of something, Song Zexu opened his mouth wide and said, “Li Chou…do you like me?”

 

Obviously Song Zexu meant if he was his favorite artist, but Li Chou’s ears heard something different.

 

His cheeks became hot and Li Chou clenched his fists tightly. He lowered his head, hesitating on how to answer Song Zexu’s words.

 

“Huh?” Song Zexu suddenly laughed, “You don’t dare admit it?”

 

“No…” Li Chou spoke, he was so ashamed and was really embarrassed, “I like you very much.”

 

He knew that even if he used this to express his love for Song Zexu directly, he was afraid that Song Zexu would just think that he meant that he liked him like a fan towards their favorite idols, and he didn’t dare desecrate that sincere feeling.

 

“I thought I didn’t have any male fans?” Song Zexu smiled at Li Chou and he said in surprise, “This album is from when I was just turned into an adult. It’s been many years, I didn’t expect you to have it.”

 

“Actually, you also have a lot of male fans.” Li Chou said. He had been to Song Zexu’s new drama launch conference before. The boys at the scene howled loudly and even frightened him. He was quiet for a moment and spoke again: “I collected this album after I became a fan of yours. I like the songs in it very much.”

 

“Which song do you like?” Song Zexu was a little curious.

 

“Spring,” Li Chou replied and smiled. His tone became more relaxed, “There is no spring in Yunzhen, and it’s like summer for all four seasons, so I yearn for the feeling of spring breeze blowing as life blossoms again, like in the song.”

 

“And… it’s really nice to listen to.”

Chapter 22 – Replica

Chapter 22: Flower Descends

 

The moment Xu Huaiming saw Li Zhao, he recognized him as the other protagonist from the video where he had dinner with Tan Xilu.

 

He didn’t expect to encounter them in this situation.

 

Li Zhao was dressed very formally, in a suit and tie. His gaze towards Xu Huaiming held a hint of amusement, making Xu Huaiming feel somewhat uncomfortable.

 

Perhaps knowing that this person might be Tan Xilu’s future partner, Xu Huaiming felt a bit frustrated. He didn’t bother with the usual polite greetings and simply said, “I’m Xu Huaiming.”

 

Li Zhao looked at him and suddenly smiled. Instead of acknowledging Xu Huaiming’s introduction, he asked Tan Xilu, “Is this your… friend?”

 

He emphasized the word “friend” with a suggestive tone, hinting at something.

 

Tan Xilu didn’t expect to run into Li Zhao today. When Xu Huaiming had made the reservation at this restaurant, it had seemed somewhat familiar to him. After some thought, he remembered that Tan’s mother had sent him Li Zhao’s family background. Li Zhao was not just an ordinary pastry chef like Xu Huaiming; his family owned several restaurants, and this seemed to be one of them.

 

He was afraid that Li Zhao might say something inappropriate, so he pulled Li Zhao aside and stared at him threateningly, asking, “What do you want?”

 

Li Zhao chuckled, “What can I do? I just wanted to catch up. What’s wrong, not even a simple greeting? Let’s skip the formalities. I’m Li Zhao.”

 

He turned to look at Xu Huaiming, who was sitting at the table. “If I’m not mistaken, this is your boyfriend, right?”

 

Tan Xilu let go of Li Zhao’s arm and nodded, admitting, “Yes.”

 

Li Zhao raised an eyebrow and said, “Well then, introduce him to me. What’s the point of hiding it?”

 

Tan Xilu furrowed his brow slightly, expressing his concern. “He doesn’t know about your existence. I’m afraid he’ll ask too many questions, and it will be hard to explain.”

 

Li Zhao’s identity was sensitive, and since Xu Huaiming didn’t know he was Tan Xilu’s blind date, the three of them could still have a civil conversation for now. Otherwise, with Xu Huaiming’s past attitude, it would have been difficult for Tan Xilu to get him into bed tonight.

 

“So what if he asks questions? It’s not like we’re together,” Li Zhao said with a smile, teasing Tan Xilu. “Or are you secretly trying to dump him and be with me?”

 

Tan Xilu never expected Li Zhao to be so shameless. He blushed and replied, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

 

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore,” Li Zhao said, lifting his hand, as if he intended to ruffle Tan Xilu’s hair. However, he remembered that he wasn’t anything to Tan Xilu and that Tan Xilu’s real boyfriend was sitting right there. So, he withdrew his hand.

 

Returning to their table, Tan Xilu finally introduced Xu Huaiming to Li Zhao seriously. “This is my boyfriend, Xu Huaiming.”

 

After Tan Xilu’s introduction, there was a moment of surprise in Xu Huaiming’s eyes. He hadn’t expected Tan Xilu to directly introduce him as his boyfriend.

 

Inside his heart, it was as if a flower had suddenly bloomed out of nowhere, scratching at his chest, petal by petal.

 

Li Zhao didn’t seem surprised either. He extended his hand to shake Xu Huaiming’s hand and said, “Hello, I’m Li Zhao, Tan Xilu’s friend.”

 

Xu Huaiming stood up to shake Li Zhao’s hand, but he still harbored some hostility toward this man. His face remained expressionless as he said, “Hello.”

 

Xu Huaiming’s hand was unusually cold, not like a normal person’s body temperature. Li Zhao had learned many body temperature measurement techniques from the butler who took care of his grandfather. Sometimes, just by touching someone’s hand, he could tell if they had a fever. However, he had never encountered such a low body temperature as Xu Huaiming’s. It was chilly, as if he had just come out of an ice cellar, but how could that be possible?

 

Li Zhao looked at Xu Huaiming, and suddenly, he realized that Xu Huaiming’s face seemed somewhat familiar. It was as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn’t recall where.

 

Xu Huaiming didn’t particularly like physical contact with strangers, so he let go of Li Zhao’s hand after the handshake.

 

Li Zhao was briefly stunned, still thinking about where he might have seen Xu Huaiming before. It wasn’t until Tan Xilu called his name that he snapped out of it.

 

Tan Xilu asked, “Why were you lost in thought just now?”

 

Li Zhao shook his head and said, “It’s nothing.”

 

Just then, a person came down from the restaurant’s second floor. When they saw Li Zhao, their tone was tinged with anger. “Li Zhao, what’s wrong with you? You went downstairs to get a drink and haven’t come back up?”

 

Li Zhao seemed to have forgotten about the appointment earlier. He smiled apologetically at the person and said, “Ye Xing, don’t be angry. I ran into an acquaintance down here. I’ll be up in a moment.”

 

Speaking of acquaintances, Ye Xing followed Li Zhao’s gaze and saw Tan Xilu sitting at the table. He was momentarily surprised and then said, “Teacher Tan?”

 

Tan Xilu didn’t expect to encounter so many acquaintances while having dinner. He smiled at Ye Xing and said, “It’s Mr. Ye.”

 

“Do you know each other?” Li Zhao asked curiously.

 

“Teacher Tan is Si Zhe’s teacher,” Ye Xing said. He didn’t seem interested in chatting and turned to Li Zhao, saying, “Come up soon; we have important matters to discuss.”

 

“Important matters?” Tan Xilu suddenly had a bad feeling.

 

“Ye Xing is preparing to propose,” Li Zhao said. “He’s not getting any younger, and he had a girlfriend before, but there was no news for a long time. His family has been pressuring him, and now it’s finally settled.”

 

Tan Xilu fell silent, not knowing how devastated Si Zhe would be when he heard this news. He also didn’t know if the kiss from that day had anything to do with Ye Xing’s quick decision to propose. But he felt a bit sorry for Si Zhe.

 

An unrequited love had led to the other person’s wedding in reality.

 

Although it was expected, it still hurt.

 

“Alright, you and your boyfriend enjoy your meal. I’ll go up first,” Li Zhao said. He glanced at the small cake on the table and added with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to like that cake so much. I’ll treat you to it next time.”

 

“No need,” Xu Huaiming, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. “If Ah Lu likes it, I’ll buy it for him. I can afford at least a piece of cake

 

.”

 

Xu Huaiming was getting caught up in his thoughts, and he was genuinely annoyed. He regretted coming to this restaurant. He had chosen it because of its high prices, thinking that the more expensive the better. He wanted to give the best to Tan Xilu. However, encountering two of Tan Xilu’s acquaintances in a row and watching Tan Xilu chat happily with them made him feel out of place.

 

Indeed, he was just an AI substitute, programmed to exist for someone else’s sake. He had no social connections, no friends, no parents, only Tan Xilu as his lover. In other words, apart from Tan Xilu, he had nothing.

 

Today, he realized that Tan Xilu didn’t rely on him completely either. Tan Xilu was a human being with friends, students, and family. He wasn’t alone.

 

But Xu Huaiming still felt uncomfortable. He didn’t know what kind of emotion this was. Whenever he saw Tan Xilu getting close to others, he felt uncomfortable. He began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his programming again, as he had been experiencing issues recently.

 

Xu Huaiming wondered if he was on the verge of malfunctioning.

 

Li Zhao was taken aback by Xu Huaiming’s blunt response. He looked at Xu Huaiming, who appeared angry and somewhat regretful, and suddenly, a memory surfaced in his mind—a figure picking something up from a fountain. Xu Huaiming’s face gradually overlapped with that figure. Li Zhao opened his mouth and realized that he might have stumbled upon Xu Huaiming’s secret.

Chapter 21 – Replica

Chapter 21: Meeting Again

 

Xu Huaiming’s chosen spot in the restaurant was the corner closest to the window. The afternoon sun cast a gentle glow on the table, its light diffusing through the glass with a touch of haze. This location was quieter, and Xu Huaiming had intentionally selected it because he had noticed that Tan Xilu seemed to prefer eating quietly in concealed places where others wouldn’t notice him.

 

Several times, Xu Huaiming had been too busy with the restaurant’s operations to attend to Tan Xilu properly. In those moments, he would casually prepare a dessert for Tan Xilu and let him find a place to sit. Each time, he would find Tan Xilu at the same table in the farthest corner of the restaurant.

 

Xu Huaiming speculated that this was due to Tan Xilu’s personality. In Xu Huaiming’s system, there were memories of Interaction Code no. 7. He knew that before Tan Xilu and Interaction Code no. 7 got together, Code no. 7 had coincidentally encountered Tan Xilu several times, or so he thought. In reality, Tan Xilu had never noticed him.

 

At that time, Code no. 7 was tasked with various assignments to evaluate whether an AI of his prototype could engage in language communication with humans effortlessly. In a dessert shop where Code no. 7 was working part-time, he saw Tan Xilu sitting in the corner.

 

Dessert shops typically attracted young girls, who came in groups or couples. Tan Xilu was the exception, always dining alone.

 

He ordered a matcha cake and ate it quietly.

 

At that time, Code no. 7 was quite surprised. Most of the humans he had encountered were outgoing and lively, especially men, and some lacked manners, with a string of profanities. However, they all had one thing in common – they had friends. In the human world, social interaction was essential. Tan Xilu, on the other hand, seemed so different. He sat there quietly, seemingly untouched by the commotion around him, and appeared somewhat content.

 

During those times, Code no. 7 developed an admiration for Tan Xilu, but he doubted that Tan Xilu remembered him, and he didn’t want to bother him. Later, Tan Xilu came to the dessert shop several times, but Code no. 7 merely watched him silently, never striking up a conversation, until one day when Tan Xilu arrived.

 

That day, the restaurant manager had informed Code no. 7 in advance that there would be a dessert party for some guests in the afternoon and asked him to be careful as some guests might get rowdy. Code no. 7 agreed.

 

By two o’clock in the afternoon, the party guests had started to arrive. To Code no. 7’s surprise, the last person to arrive was Tan Xilu.

 

He was wearing a casual pink hoodie and looked somewhat cute. When he entered and saw so many people, he seemed a bit overwhelmed, unsure of where to go. Eventually, a bespectacled, somewhat artistic-looking boy approached him.

 

The boy patted Tan Xilu on the shoulder, with a hint of teasing in his tone, “Oh, Alu, why are you late today?”

 

Tan Xilu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking embarrassed. “I got stuck in traffic. I’m really sorry.”

 

“It’s okay, as long as you’re here,” a pretty girl in a short skirt inside said, “Hurry up, let Alu try some cake. He loves cakes, right? Today, Shen Glasses, you’re treating him.”

 

Shen Glasses was the boy with glasses.

 

“Uh… sure,” Tan Xilu said, feeling a bit awkward.

 

Birthday parties were supposed to be fun, and even though they had chosen a dessert shop, they weren’t really here for the desserts. Although they had ordered quite a bit, not many were actually eating.

 

At first, Code no. 7 thought that Tan Xilu genuinely loved desserts, so he had eaten several pieces alone. But then he realized that Tan Xilu couldn’t quite blend in with the crowd. He seemed like he didn’t belong to this world, quietly doing his own thing amidst the chaos.

 

Suddenly, someone brought up a topic related to Tan Xilu. Code no. 7 was too far away to hear what they were saying, but he saw Tan Xilu’s face change from joy to discomfort in an instant. Just a few seconds ago, everyone was having a great time, but now it was awkward. Code no. 7 couldn’t understand humans very well, but at that moment, he thought, “If only there was someone to be with Tan Xilu.”

 

He was so well-behaved, how could he be bullied like this?

 

And just a few seconds after Code no. 7 had this thought, he decided to be that person who would be with him.

 

He picked up a piece of cake and walked over to Tan Xilu, placing it in front of him, and said, “This is our latest surprise promotion. We randomly select one guest every day to taste our cake. Today’s lucky guest is you, please give it a try.”

 

“Huh?” Tan Xilu was a bit surprised, widening his eyes as he looked at Code no. 7.

 

“Oh? Alu, you have this kind of luck too!” a guy sitting diagonally across from them laughed, his tone teasing and somewhat grating.

 

Tan Xilu glanced at him but didn’t say anything.

 

It was Code no. 7 who spoke up with a grin, “We choose guests based on their appearance. Only the good-looking ones qualify.”

 

In other words, you’re not good-looking, that’s why you didn’t have this luck.

 

The guy was stunned for a moment, then reacted, blushing and cursing, “What kind of talk is that? Where’s your manager? I’m going to complain about you.”

 

“The manager is on vacation. Today, I’m in charge,” Code no. 7 said coldly.

 

Maybe Code no. 7’s gaze was too intimidating, but the guy didn’t dare to argue.

 

Tan Xilu tugged on Code no. 7’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

 

Code no. 7 immediately put on a smile and said, “You’re welcome.”

 

From that moment on, every time Tan Xilu came to the restaurant, he would chat with Code no. 7 first. He visibly became more cheerful, and later, after he and Code no. 7 started dating, Code no. 7 opened a dessert shop of his own. Tan Xilu no longer confined himself to eating in the corner; sometimes, he even sat at the bar.

 

But after Code no. 7 went missing for seven years, Tan Xilu closed himself off again.

 

And this time, Tan Xilu didn’t seem to be trying to open up.

 

Xu Huaiming pushed the pine nut corn dessert in front of Tan Xilu and said, “This dessert, I thought you would like it.”

 

“Thank you,” Tan Xilu said as he scooped a spoonful into his mouth.

 

Xu Huaiming also ordered a small cake for him, just like the one he had seen in the video of Tan Xilu’s date with that man. In that video, Tan Xilu seemed to enjoy the cake so much, indicating that it must taste really good.

 

After a while, the cake arrived. When Tan Xilu saw the cake, he paused for a moment, then bit his lip, his face turning somewhat pale.

 

“What’s wrong?” Xu Hu

 

aiming asked with concern. “Don’t want to eat it?”

 

“No… it’s nothing,” Tan Xilu said nervously.

 

Just then, someone suddenly approached them. The person looked at Tan Xilu and exclaimed, “Oh my, Tan Xilu? Is it really you?”

 

Tan Xilu raised his eyes to see the person and nearly gasped in shock. Why did he have to run into Li Zhao?

 

Li Zhao didn’t seem to notice Tan Xilu’s anxious expression at all. He glanced at Xu Huaiming and clicked his tongue, asking, “Who’s this?”

Chapter 59 – Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

Chapter 59

 

The dinner that day was extremely enjoyable, at least that’s how Lu Jingning perceived it, and he wasn’t wrong.

 

After finishing the meal, Lu Jingning escorted Wen Xingchen like a true gentleman, walking him to the entrance of the Omega dormitory before parting ways.

 

The delightful experience further convinced Lu Jingning of the effectiveness of his pursuit. That night, lying on his bed, he read by the light of a lamp, delving deeper into his research.

 

Time flew by unnoticed, and a week passed after the exchange competition ended. That afternoon, they had their outdoor combat training.

 

Exhausted from a complete set of physical exercises, everyone was panting, lying sprawled on the ground.

 

Lu Jingning wiped his face with a towel when he suddenly felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Wen Xingchen handing him a bottle of water. “You’ve worked hard, Brother Wen.”

 

Jian Luan, noticing this, grumbled with a dry throat, “Why is there still water left? What about mine, what about mine?”

 

Lu Jingning’s tone was casual, “The convenience store isn’t far, you can still make it if you run.”

 

“Damn, so heartless!” Jian Luan got up from the ground and swiftly pounced on Wen Xingchen, “I won’t ask you! Our Brother Wen wouldn’t be as heartless as you! Come on, Wen Xingchen, my good buddy, let’s share the fortune!”

 

Wen Xingchen caught a glimpse of the approaching figure and subtly sidestepped, evading Jian Luan with ease. “Lu-ge already told you, go buy it yourself.”

 

Lu Jingning laughed heartily, “Jian Luan, why do you have to demean yourself?”

 

Jian Luan missed his target, and his cheerful expression instantly fell.

 

Indeed, why should he demean himself? He couldn’t figure it out himself…

 

Before Wen Xingchen could respond, he felt an arm resting on his shoulder.

 

Lu Jingning leaned half of his body on him, looking proud. “I don’t care how you feel; I care about how I feel. If you think he has changed, it’s only because you don’t know him well enough. In my eyes, Brother Wen has always been the same, never changed!”

 

Having just splashed himself with water, Lu Jingning’s arm still carried a faint coolness. When it touched Wen Xingchen’s neck, the subtle chill seemed to permeate his body without making a sound.

 

Wen Xingchen paused for a moment while drinking water, subtly reacting to the situation.

 

Even though Lu Jingning was laughing and joking with Jian Luan, his attention remained focused on Wen Xingchen. In that moment, he observed every change in Wen Xingchen’s expression.

 

Though he maintained a calm exterior, Wen Xingchen’s heart felt a wave of pleasure.

 

Rule #3 of the Alpha chasing strategy: Appropriate skin contact can bridge the distance between two people, and such non-verbal cues often have a subtle and imperceptible effect on an Alpha’s mind. However, one should also exercise caution not to be too aggressive. The contact should be brief, no longer than one minute each time. Only then can it create a sense of longing and irresistible attraction in the Alpha, without them even realizing it.

 

Lu Jingning felt a sense of admiration for his accurate execution of the strategy.

 

Keeping in mind the one-minute rule, after a moment, he calmly retracted his hand.

 

Rule #4 of the A-chasing strategy: All Alphas appreciate praise from Omegas, and such praise must be genuine and abundant. The illusion of deeply admiring them is essential to create a sense of gratification during interactions.

 

So, without waiting for Jian Luan’s retort, Lu Jingning continued speaking eloquently, “Jian Luan, if I were you, I would head straight to the convenience store right now.”

 

“After all, in the presence of such an outstanding Alpha like Wen Xingchen, your existence appears minuscule. Even if you feel resentful, it won’t change the fact that you’re just ordinary. If you want to move forward, don’t waste any opportunity that can help you progress.”

 

“Do you think Wen Xingchen only wanted you to buy him water? No, his vision extends much further than that. What he wants is for you to strengthen yourself during the process of buying water.”

 

Jian Luan blinked in bewilderment, “Ah?”

 

Lu Jingning’s eyes narrowed slightly as he disdainfully glanced at this overly insignificant mortal. “Don’t you get it? It’s all about perspective! This is the biggest gap between you and top Alphas like Wen Xingchen. Can’t you deeply appreciate Wen Xingchen’s efforts, Jian Luan?”

 

Jian Luan couldn’t bear to hear more and his lips twitched, “Enough! I’ll go buy it myself!”

 

Seeing Jian Luan walk away, Wen Xingchen finally couldn’t hold back his laughter. His narrow eyes curved, displaying a different kind of radiance. “I never knew my words had such profound meaning. How come even I didn’t realize it?”

 

Lu Jingning smiled along as he noticed Wen Xingchen’s happiness. Despite being a novice in delivering sweet talk, he seemed to have a natural flair for it. “It’s because all of this is deeply ingrained in your heart. It feels so natural that even you can’t detect it.”

 

Wen Xingchen chuckled, “If you keep talking, I might actually believe you.”

 

Lu Jingning remained composed, “It’s an established fact, no need for proof.”

 

 

Wen Xingchen thought that Lu Jingning rejected him because he still had some extraordinary tricks up his sleeve. So, he temporarily suppressed his impulses and patiently waited.

 

However, over the next week, instead of the anticipated surprises, Lu Jingning’s presence became scarce, and Wen Xingchen rarely saw him after classes.

 

Finally, when the bell rang, Lu Jingning immediately picked up his bag, ready to rush out the door. Wen Xingchen couldn’t help but grab his arm, asking, “You always seem to be in a hurry lately. What are you so busy with?”

 

Lu Jingning did not sense the trace of bitterness in his tone. He blinked, as if just remembering something, “Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Our Mecha Club is going to have an exchange event soon. I’ve been doing the final adjustments on the mecha with Yan Hebin recently! We’ll represent the club in the exchange, and I can’t let my roommate lose face.”

 

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

Despite brewing several words, it seemed as if saying anything more would come off as a bit meddlesome.

 

Seeing Wen Xingchen’s lack of response, Lu Jingning called out in confusion, “Wen-ge?”

 

Wen Xingchen seemed to snap back to his senses and let go of Lu Jingning’s hand. “Go ahead.”

 

“Alright then, I’m off!” Lu Jingning’s figure disappeared at the door in an instant.

 

Wen Xingchen sat in his place for a while, silently took out his terminal, and based on his memory, searched for a certain post.

 

Line by line, he scrolled down, and finally, his gaze halted at the last part of the content.

 

Rule #5 of Chasing Alphas: Omega pursuing Alphas must firmly remember the following content after following the first four rules. Regardless of how smoothly or not the pursuit progresses, never let the other party have it too easy! As humans, we inevitably possess certain flaws, and Alphas’ attitudes are often peculiar. Sometimes, the easier they get something, the less they cherish it afterward. Therefore, when they start to have even a hint of an idea, you must pull back in time, maintain a distance, and keep them hanging, making them feel a sense of urgency. Only by doing so can you better stimulate the Alpha’s conqueror’s desire, making him unable to give up on you completely.

 

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

At that moment, Jian Luan happened to pass by, seeing Wen Xingchen still not leaving after class, and curiously walked over.

 

When Jian Luan’s eyes glanced over the post on the StarNet page, his expression subtly changed. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke softly, “Wen Xingchen, well… if you need anything, just ask me directly. It would be much more convenient than searching for these things.”

 

Wen Xingchen looked up at him expressionlessly, his Alpha aura slightly oppressing. But after a moment’s thought, he said, “Ask you?”

 

Jian Luan, feeling the pressure from Wen Xingchen’s gaze, couldn’t help but want to retreat. But before leaving, he hurriedly reminded him with a quick few words, “One last thing, just one thing! Uh, you got it wrong! This article teaches Omegas to chase Alphas. I also have another one that teaches Alphas to pursue Omegas. The link is right next to it, and that one might be more suitable for you!”

 

After saying that, before waiting for Wen Xingchen to react, Jian Luan swiftly made his escape.

 

While running, Jian Luan couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional in his heart.

 

Sigh, being a relationship consultant these days is really not easy!

 

Even as a columnist for the feelings section, seeing Wen Xingchen in this situation, he didn’t know where to help him from.

 

Really, it’s just too difficult.

Chapter 2 (part 1/2) – You don't know too much

Chapter two

 

8

 

Lu Changze sat with his hands in his pockets on the chair. He was in the corridor of the hospital waiting for the test report. Lu Changze’s stomach hurt so badly that no matter how much he tried to bear it, he couldn’t stand it.

 

He was in pain 24 hours a day. The nurse holding a clipboard and called Lu Changze’s name.

 

It was raining when he left the hospital. The umbrella-less Lu Changze folded the laboratory results paper into a square and put it in the pocket of his cotton coat.

 

He ran to the station in the rain and when he got back to the entrance of his shop, he saw Gu Xiu’s car parked there. Gu Xiu clapped in his direction impatiently.

 

“Get in the car.” Lu Changze stood under the eaves of the small shop and looked at the man who cracked open half the car window through the rain.

 

His eyes darkened and he finally got into the car.

 

The car didn’t leave Xuan Qi immediately. Gu Xiu took him to the best coffee shop in Xuan Qi and the two sat facing each other. Lu Changze was still wet

 

He sat down on the fabric sofa, and was dizzy for a while. The waiters around frowned, but with Gu Xiu there, no one dared to come up and say a word.

 

Gu Xiu ordered two cups of black coffee.

 

“Fang Ming came to look for you?” Gu Xiu leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs and looked at the person opposite him coldly. Lu Changze nodded after listening.

 

Gu Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Changze very unhappily. It’s been five years since he saw him. This kid was getting more and more arrogant.

 

This wasn’t the attitude that a stain like him should have.

 

“Hmm, even he can’t convince you? Lu Changze, don’t think so highly of yourself. Everyone knows what kind of person you are.”

 

Lu Changze stared at the coffee in front of him in a daze and touched the test results he just received in the morning with his hand in his pocket repeatedly.

 

What was going on? An interrogation or a joint trial? What a fvcking nasty life.

 

“Gu Xiu, I really fvcking hate drinking coffee. Especially black coffee.” Lu Changze leaned his head back and looked at him with a blank expression.

 

Gu Xiu was taken aback by him. He was called Handsome Gu when he was in school, and later Boss Gu when he worked. Lu Changze never dared to call Gu Xiu by his name.

 

Gu Xiu has seen all kinds of cheap expressions on his face: fawning, wretched, philistine, greedy and etc. For so many years, Gu Xiu had never seen Lu Changze with no expression on his face.

 

“Lu Changze, what tricks are you playing? Didn’t you like to drink this thing the most before? You are obviously a chicken, but you always think of yourself as a phoenix,” Gu Xiu sneered and said, “Fang Ming just came back. Stop being a retard in front of him and go back quickly if you have to go back.”

 

“I don’t like to drink it. I only forced myself to drink it because I thought you liked it. Gu Xiu, I know whether I am a demon or not, there is no need for you to worry.”

 

Lu Changze still looked at Gu Xiu expressionlessly, “Don’t keep trying to guess what I want from you or Fang Ming. Let me explain it to you, Gu Xiu. I don’t care about anything.”

 

After Lu Changze finished speaking, he stood up slowly, turned around and left. Gu Xiu was stunned. It took a while before he turned his head and looked through the glass window of the coffee shop.

 

He watched Lu Changze’s back as he left in the rain.

When the sky cleared, Lu Changze disposed of all the things in his shop, leaving only an empty room. He moved a small chair to sit down.

 

He looked up at the door and basked in the sun. The sun in winter is warm, especially after the weather has gradually warmed up in recent days, it is more comfortable to bask in it.

 

It wasn’t until Lu Changze’s face was covered by a shadow when he lazily opened his eyes.

 

“I guess it’s time for you to come too.” Lu Changze smiled and turned his stiff neck, “Boss Qi, you’re here too?”

 

Qi Mingyu smiled politely, “You can just call me Mingyu. Boss Qi sounds too old.” 

 

Lu Changze said with a playful smile, “Fang Ming is really sensible.”

Fang Ming didn’t speak, walked into the small shop and took a look, “Brother, are you going back?” 

 

He looked at Lu Changze carefully again, “You look thinner compared to last time.”

 

Lu Changze didn’t answer Fang Ming’s words. He only followed him in, took out a file bag and handed it to Fang Ming, “I bought a small apartment here but it’s just a façade. The area is good for real estate. We are relatives. If you give me a hand, I will pay more for the demolition.”

 

“Brother, what do you mean?” Fang Ming was puzzled.

 

“Actually, I don’t plan to stay here for a long time even if it doesn’t need to be demolished. Didn’t I tell you last time that I don’t want to stay after staying for a long time? I want to travel but money has been a little tight recently. If you really think of me as your brother, then hurry up and do this for me, the sooner the better. “

 

Although Fang Ming didn’t quite agree, seeing Lu Changze’s serious expression, he nodded in agreement.

 

On the day when he received the money, Lu Changze was very happy with a big smile on his face. Fang Ming hadn’t seen Lu Changze smile like this for a long time, “You’re this happy?”

 

Lu Changze took the card and put it in his pocket, “You don’t understand. How can you not be happy when your new life begins.” After speaking, he left Fang Ming’s office and went downstairs where he met Qi Mingyu who came to find Fang Ming. Qi Mingyu stopped Lu Changze and looked at him seriously, “Lu Changze, you can come to find Fang Ming if you have any problems in the future.”

 

Lu Changze looked at Qi Mingyu’s sincerity and shook his head, “Thank you, but I won’t have another chance in the future. You and Fang Ming have a good time, you are not young anymore. After all, it was not easy being together at the beginning.”

 

Qi Mingyu nodded and entered the elevator.

 

Lu Changze went to the bank to withdraw all the money and put it into another card. He then went home and cleaned up everything that should be done at home.

 

Everything that should be burned was burned. He then left with a small bag.

 

10

 

It was a week after Gu Xiu found out that Lu Changze had disappeared again. He went to ask Fang Ming and found out that Lu Changze was going on a trip.

 

Gu Xiu felt stuck as if he couldn’t catch his breath. It was so uncomfortable. He thought that the next time he saw Lu Changze again, he would make fun of him.

 

After a while, this person who has been sticking to his ass for decades really decided to treat him like an onion.

 

It was announced that there was a problem with the land, so Gu Xiu and Fang Ming worked day and night for two whole weeks before finally resolving it.

 

He is not young anymore and he’ll catch a cold if he works too hard. Luckily, Fang Ming has someone to take care of him. Gu Xiu hasn’t been in any serious relationships in the past few years except messing around with many paid people, so he had to go to the hospital for medicine and IV drips when he was sick.

 

Gu Xiu probably didn’t expect that he would see Lu Changze here. Gu Xiu was not in a hurry to go back after getting an IV drip in the hospital. Although he was sick, his body is in good health, so after two days of rest, it will basically recover. The environment in Pingzhou is good, and the air in the small garden of the city hospital is also good. Gu Xiu wandered around.

 

After taking two steps, he saw Lu Changze. If it wasn’t for that face that Gu Xiu had known since he was ten years old, Gu Xiu would almost not have recognized it. Lu Changze was wearing a hospital gown. The person was already thin and out of shape, sitting on the bench and basking in the sun with his eyes squinted. Gu Xiu walked two steps closer as Lu Changze sat quietly on the chair.

 

On the table, he slightly raised his head. It was the first time Gu Xiu saw that appearance.

Lu Changze took off his glasses. Even if he couldn’t see clearly without glasses, Gu Xiu’s figure probably would never be forgotten by Lu Changze in his life.

 

The two looked at each other quietly at a distance of several meters. After a while, Lu Changze sighed slightly and got up before walking slowly to the ward.

 

Gu Xiu followed behind him and the two went back to Lu Changze’s ward with a distance between them. There were three beds in the ward, but the sun is good today so the other patients seemed to have gone out to bask in the sun and there were only Gu Xiu and Lu Changze in the ward at the moment.

 

Lu Changze’s ward was close to the window and he could see the busy traffic outside the hospital while sitting by the bed. After returning to the ward, Lu Changze sat by the bed and watched the view outside the window. Gu Xiu put his hands in his pockets and looked at him, “Lu Changze, you are quite capable. Didn’t you go on a trip? Why did you come to the hospital? Are you about to die?”

 

Lu Changze didn’t speak until Gu Xiu got impatient waiting. Lu Changze didn’t look at him, his eyes were still staring out of the window and as he spoke, his voice was hoarse.

 

Dumbly he said: “Well, soon, next month.”

 

Gu Xiu stood still for a while before he snapped out of it. He walked to Lu Changze’s hospital bed and opened his case file.

 

Advanced gastric cancer.

 

For a moment, Gu Xiu didn’t know what to say and he didn’t know what to say at this time.

When he came back to his senses, Gu Xiu hung the file back on Lu Changze’s bed and left.

 

Lu Changze felt sleepy after watching the view for a while and went to bed.

 

When Gu Xiu came back, Lu Changze had fallen asleep. He was really thin. In just a few days, he became skin and bones. Gu Xiu stood by the bed thinking. Gu Xiu really couldn’t accept this. He couldn’t accept the news that Lu Changze is dying. Why? He didn’t know. He just couldn’t accept it, even if it was just that mangy dog that had haunted him for more than twenty years.

 

Lu Changze was asleep but when he opened his eyes, it was strange that Gu Xiu hadn’t left yet. Despite that, it didn’t matter to Lu Changze whether he was there or not.

 

Who was there was no longer important to Lu Changze. The rest of his days will just be waiting for death quietly. It was dark and the patients around were sleeping as well.

 

Gu Xiu sat quietly by the bed and looked at him. Seeing that he had something to say, Lu Changze lifted the quilt, got up and left the ward.

 

He understood Gu Xiu. Lu Changze knew what Gu Xiu was going to do by looking at Gu Xiu’s eyes.

 

Gu Xiu followed behind Lu Changze and Lu Changze walked quietly to the waiting hall of the hospital. Lu Changze knew Gu Xiu well and he knew that he had a bad temper.

 

Choosing a place with a lot of people, Lu Changze no longer wanted to have any disputes with him, nor did he want to hear any ridicule or sarcasm from him. He went to find a chair to sit on.

 

When they both settled down, Gu Xiu sat beside him. The two of them didn’t talk for a long time. It was very strange. It was the first time for them to sit so quietly for a long time.

 

After a long time, Gu Xiu said, “When did you find out?”

 

“The day you bought me that coffee.”

 

After speaking, he fell into silence again. Lu Changze looked at the people coming and going in the hospital. Some were happy and some were sad.

 

A building full of different life experiences depending on the person.

 

“I didn’t know.” Gu Xiu said, “You should have mentioned this earlier.”

 

“There are too many things you don’t know.” Lu Changze said slowly.

 

“I asked the doctor in the afternoon, it is not impossible to operate on it…”

 

Lu Changze turned his head slightly to look at Gu Xiu, a little surprised. He didn’t expect him to ask the doctor. Then he felt relieved. Yes, at first he liked his appearance, but the man next to him was actually a good person, even if he didn’t understand himself well.

 

“I don’t want to do it.”

 

“Lu Changze, what do you mean?!” Gu Xiu raised his voice, “Could it be that you really have lived long enough? Don’t be shameless.”

 

“Gu Xiu…” Lu Changze looked at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, “I’m shameless, shouldn’t you have known by now?”

 

It was the first time that Gu Xiu was choked up by Lu Changze, but Lu Changze was happy to see his appearance. He just laughed happily, and just kept laughing soundlessly.

 

Gu Xiu was stunned. It was the first time he saw Lu Changze smiling like a simple child. A man in his forties smiled like a child.

 

Gu Xiu also laughed, the corners of his mouth curled up, even though he didn’t notice it.


T/N: Happy Bad End Month!

Chapter 5 – I’ll wait for you on a spring day

Chapter 5

 

9.

 

Song Zexu felt bored at home these days and always wanted to go out in the evening. There happened to be a park for the elderly behind Li Chou’s apartment. After dinner, Li Chou took him around.

 

The old people in Yunzhen didn’t know Song Zexu. They only thought that he was some relative of Li Chou and seeing that Song Zexu was good-looking, they even played matchmaker for him and told him about their daughters who are very beautiful and talented. Even asking him to meet them.

 

Before Song Zexu could say anything, Li Chou excused himself and said, “Uncle Zhang, you should give up. He already has a girlfriend and is just waiting for his eyesight to heal. After that, he’s going back to get married.”

 

“Already have a girlfriend?” Uncle Zhang clicked his tongue and said, “It’s such a pity, it seems that I’m still a step too late.”

 

“There’s nothing to be sorry about.” Song Zexu said first this time, “I’m blind and I need someone to take care of me. I can’t burden a girl from a good family.”

 

After he realized that Song Zexu is blind and would actually burden his daughter for the rest of her life, uncle Zhang sighed and said: “Youngster, try to live a good life.”

 

Song Zexu responded, “I will.”

 

The park for the elderly is a place for old people to chat in the evening. Li Chou doesn’t know who first spread the word that a good-looking blind man came to his house recently but some old people with disabled girls wanted to come and play matchmaker. Li Chou previously evaded this by saying that Song Zexu had a girlfriend, but he still couldn’t stop the people who came to see Song Zexu at his house. After that, he secretly told everyone that in fact, his preference is for men and then no one came to bother him again.

 

It was also because of this that no old people came to chat with Song Zexu when he went for a walk in the park again.

 

At first Song Zexu didn’t know what was going on, but later Li Chou explained the reason to him very apologetically.

 

Song Zexu was not angry. He felt that this would just reduce the interference from the outside world, but Song Zexu did not go to the park after a few days of strolling, because there were actually a few old men whose sons were gay, and they asked him if he was a top or bottom.

 

Li Chou couldn’t laugh or cry when he knew about it. He tried to hold his laughter when he was eating, but Song Zexu still heard it.

 

With the rice in the bowl, that pretty face became a little annoyed at this moment and he asked, “Is it really that funny?”

 

Li Chou sat up straight away, covered his mouth, tried to hold back a smile, and said, “Not anymore.”

 

Song Zexu let out an “oh” and started picking at the rice in his own bowl.

 

Li Chou put a piece of braised pork in Song Zexu’s bowl and said, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I should have known that those old men and women were talking so much, yet, I still “spread rumors” about you and caused you so much trouble.”

 

“It’s not really a problem.” Song Zexu smiled, “It’s not as much trouble as I faced being an actor.”

 

“c0ckroaches would be thrown inside the takeaway you ordered or you’ll be chased by cars when you went to the set. Even if you and your friends booked the same hotel by coincidence, there will be many rumours of you.” Song Zexu said, “Like me and Bai Lin, we really have nothing to do with each other.”

 

Bai Lin was the rising actress who was rumored to have an affair with Song Zexu back then.

 

He paused, then said, “Bai Lin has a lover.”

 

Li Chou was a little surprised that Song Zexu would explain this to him. He was startled and felt a little sympathetic to Song Zexu’s previous experiences, but his heart also jumped up.

 

With a little chuckle, he said, “You don’t actually need to explain this to me.”

 

“It’s okay, I was just chatting and you definitely won’t spread it.” Song Zexu said, “Oh, by the way, do you have any favorite stars?”

 

Yes, it’s you.

 

But how could Li Chou dare to say that. This happened when the TV in the living room was showing an advertisement for an actor named Tan Jing, so Li Chou said casually: “I like Tan Jing.”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chou saw Song Zexu frowning and an alarm bell went off in his mind. He suddenly remembered that Tan Jing and Song Zexu were rivals.

Right, how did he forget this one?

 

Li Chou covered his face, cursing in his heart why he was so stupid.

 

But what he didn’t expect was for Song Zexu to actually say to him: “Then I’ll find him and ask him for an autograph to give you if I have a chance.”

 

Li Chou was stunned and said “Ah”, a little embarrassed. It was too hard to explain, so he had to say, “Okay.”

 

At the end, he added another sentence, “Thank you.”

 

“But.” Song Zexu reminded him with a little worry: “His private life is very chaotic, you should probably stop liking him.”

 

Li Chou was silent for a while, and said, “I’ll try.”

 

Song Zexu let out a “Mm” and continued to eat.

 

10.

 

On the tenth day of being together with Song Zexu, Li Chou took out the diary he had brought back after getting off from work while Song Zexu was asleep. He placed it in front of the desk and started journaling.

 

[June 24, 20××, Friday, light rain]

 

[The weather is not good today, it was raining a lot. I felt a bit cold and was afraid of infecting Song Zexu. After getting off work, I went to the vegetable market to buy a fish and boiled it for a while in the casserole. I filled a bowl of soup for myself and left the fish to Song Zexu.

 

Song Zexu only ate a little bit. He said he didn’t like fish. I clearly remember that Song Zexu said in an interview that he loves fish the most. It turns out it was fake.

 

I couldn’t help coughing while washing the dishes and when Song Zexu found out, he brought me a cup of hot water with his own hands  and said that I should eat some medicine.

 

I was a little surprised. Song Zexu was so considerate. I was a little happy. I really wondered if it was a dream.

 

It’s good to take the medicine for seven days, but not good to take it for more than a week. I don’t like taking medicine, so I only drank the water from Song Zexu in the end.

 

Song Zexu is really nice, I like him very much.]

 

On the tenth day of being together with Song Zexu, Li Chou had the opportunity to share the bed with Song Zexu. He closed the diary and put it on the top of the desk.

 

It would be more convenient for him to take it back to the flower shop the next day, so he took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed gently.

 

Song Zexu said that he caught a cold because he couldn’t sleep well on the sofa and since he caught colds easily, he should sleep on the bed with him for a quick recovery.

 

When Li Chou heard Song Zexu say this, his heart almost stopped beating and he asked cautiously, “Is it okay?”

 

“Why not?” Song Zexu was a little puzzled, “This was originally your bed.”

 

Li Chou just couldn’t believe that he could have such an opportunity.

 

Li Chou clutched his chest, he was so lucky.

 

Because of the rain during the day, there is no moon outside. The shadows of the trees are mottled, with occasionally a gust of wind blows and makes a slight noise.

 

Song Zexu’s breathing was shallow and he couldn’t sleep well with the light turned off, so Li Chou bought him a small night light. At this time, through the weak light, he could see Song Zexu’s trembling eyelashes in his sleep. He did not know what he dreamed of as he frowned slightly.

 

Li Chou lay down beside him, listening to his breathing. He gulped and carefully put his hand under the quilt to hold Song Zexu’s hand.

 

Song Zexu’s hands were slender and thin, with distinct joints to the touch. Li Chou secretly interlocked his fingers. He knew that he might only have this one chance for an hour tonight.

 

Just let me enjoy it.

 

My favorite person, he thought.

 

Please forgive me for being so greedy.

Chapter 4 – I’ll wait for you on a spring day

Chapter 4

 

After Li Chou wrapped up the dried flowers to be sent today, he placed a shipping order in the store. He then put the flowers by the bar and waited for the courier to come.

 

Afraid that the real flowers would not be fresh when sent to the city, Lin Xiaomin changed all the roses she had ordered into dried flowers.

 

It will take twenty minutes for the courier to arrive. When he was free, Li Chou turned on the TV and took a diary out from the drawer of the bar.

 

Li Chou’s memory is not very good and he is particularly forgetful. It’s not a disease, he simply can’t remember things well and he suffers particularly because of this.

 

When he first opened the store, he lost a lot of money because of this and later developed the habit of writing a diary.

 

Before meeting Song Zexu, the diary was full of how much money he made every day, what flower seeds he wanted to order the next day, or what kind of flowers the customer ordered, but after discovering Song Zexu, it became what commercials Song Zexu made, what interviews he accepted, and what TV dramas he acted in.

 

But after he rescued Song Zexu back home, the diary became the first day, the second day, and the third day when he was with Song Zexu…

 

Today is the seventh day.

 

Li Chou paused, and wrote in his diary:

[Tuesday, June 21, 20××, sunny]

 

[Song Zexu still got up very early this morning and woke me up again. He said he wanted to go to the bathroom, so I helped him to the bathroom. As he stood in front of the toilet bowl, he seemed a little embarrassed. I asked him what was wrong, and he said don’t look at me. Only then did I realize that he was shy, so I exited the bathroom and after a while I heard the toilet flushing. He came out of the bathroom a minute later, and said to me: “Sorry for bothering you again.”

 

I looked at his reddish cheeks, and I was a little lost for a while and said, “It’s okay, it’s time for me to go to work too.”

 

Song Zexu asked me what time it was.

 

I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only four o’clock in the morning, but I was afraid that Song Zexu would feel sorry, so I said, “It’s already seven o’clock, and the sun is already out.”

 

Song Zexu said “Oh” without any doubt, but I saw that his expression was a little absent-minded. He said after a while: “I have been waiting for you for a long time, even after the sun has gone.”

 

I was startled, and suddenly thought: “Does Song Zexu want to go back?”

 

That’s right, he didn’t belong here in the first place, he is a popular celebrity and he always wants to shine on the big screen.

 

Although I was very disappointed, I still smiled and was about to ask him when he was going to leave, but Song Zexu suddenly said: “But sometimes seeing the sun is not necessarily a good thing.”

 

I always feel that there is some other meaning in Song Zexu’s words, but I am too ashamed to ask. I am afraid that he will find it too offensive and I am entangled in thinking: What is it?

What do you mean?]

 

In the diary entry of the seventh day with Song Zexu, Li Chou ended the diary with a question mark. He thought about it and didn’t know when he would get the answer.

 

The moment the diary was closed, the doorbell rang and the courier came in from the outside and took away the flowers wrapped by Li Chou. At the same time, Li Chou stuffed the diary back into the drawer.

 

8.

 

Watermelons are cheap in summer. When the store closed at night, Li Chou went to Aunt Wang next door to buy two small ones. It was time for him to go to the sea again today.

 

He would eat one first and then go back and bring one for Song Zexu.

 

The summer in Yunzhen is extremely hot, even if the sea breeze is blowing, it can’t take away the sweltering heat. As the wet and salty sea waves hit the beach, one’s ears would be filled with its whistling sound.

 

Li Chou’s eyes were fixed on a spot on the beach. Just seven days ago, there was a wounded man lying there. Li Chou couldn’t even imagine that.

 

As for who that person was, he didn’t even dare think that he could’ve spent so much time with him and for as much as an entire week.

 

Li Chou closed his eyes and fell back on the reef. The stars in the sea at night were always bright at first glance and half a bright moon hung in the sky. He gently let out a sigh as he suddenly remembered the first time he met Song Zexu.

 

At that time, Song Zexu’s reputation was not as good as it is now. At that time, he was still a person who had to nod and bow all day to audition for a small web drama.

 

Li Chou has just opened a flower shop and he had to do many things by himself, such as place order for the flowers he buys, decide on the flower seeds and flower pots he wants to buy.

 

It is said that the flower varieties in Yunzhen were not diverse, so Li Chou went to the city at that time.

 

He met Song Zexu who was reciting his lines on the side of the road on the way after shopping for flowers.

 

Song Zexu was good-looking and tall and he was the type of person who stood out and could be spotted at a glance in the crowd.

 

As such, Li Chou was fascinated by him all at once.

 

The city has developed well in recent years, and a film and television set has also been built. Many TV dramas will come here to shoot scenes. Song Zexu seemed to be preparing for an audition that day. At noon, under the sun, he was sweating and reciting his lines.

 

Maybe it was because he didn’t have time to have a good meal at noon. He put a container of white rice next to himself and when he was hungry, he would take two bites without any water at all.

 

Li Chou knows that some entertainers in the entertainment industry are very hard-working. He heard that some popular ones perform surgery to cut out half their stomachs in order not to feel hungry or else that they won’t be able to make a movie that lasts more than 20 hours.

 

Closing his eyes, he had never seen Song Zexu on TV, so he didn’t expect that an unknown artist would do such a thing in private.

 

Song Zexu seemed to have almost finished memorising it, so he stopped and sat casually on the stone steps beside him. He put the script book upside down on the ground, and suddenly sighed.

 

After taking a breath, he turned his head and saw Li Chou inadvertently. He smiled and said, “Are you here for the audition too?”

 

Li Chou looked around and was a little surprised after making sure that he was asking him. He touched his face, shook his head violently and said, “I don’t know. I’m just passing by. There’s no way, after all, I’m so ugly.”

 

“You’re not ugly.” Song Zexu looked at him, his eyes curved, “An actor does not have to be good-looking, right?”

 

“You are so good-looking, even if I really auditioned, I would be rejected.” Li Chou walked to him and sat down beside him.

 

In fact, it’s quite strange. Li Chou is a very bad conversationalist. He doesn’t socialize with others when he can to avoid unnecessary trouble, but that day he really wanted to chat with Song Zexu, maybe because he was the only one who did not dislike his appearance

 

A connection was made for a short time.

 

Li Chou asked Song Zexu: “You seem to memorize your lines quickly and act well. Are you a rookie actor who just debuted?”

 

“No.” Song Zexu shook his head, “I’ve been acting for many years and I’m considered a child star, but I’m just not popular.”

 

When Song Zexu said this, his eyes suddenly dimmed and he looked very depressed. Thinking about it, he has acted for so many years. If no one knew of him yet, it would be really frustrating.

 

Li Chou couldn’t empathize with him at that time, but he felt that Song Zexu would definitely be popular. He looked so hard-working, and hoped that his hard work would pay off. After all, dedication will always be rewarded, so he patted Song Zexu on the shoulder and said: “You have worked hard. I believe that one day I will see you on the podium, after you become popular all over the country.”

 

This is the first time Li Chou encouraged a stranger. He used to be the one who needed to be encouraged.

 

It is not much, but it is precisely because of his prior experiences that he knows that when a person is frustrated, any words of encouragement will surely comfort the other party at that time.

 

He didn’t really think that Song Zexu would be so popular one day.

 

Before the audition that day, Song Zexu thanked Li Chou and said he would try his best to let him see him on the podium.

 

Later, it seemed that he still did not pass the audition. In fact, that web drama had originally decided on a male lead, however, just to maintain the facade of”fairness”, they had gotten some random people to audition for it.

 

However, many problems broke out after that drama aired and fortunately Song Zexu did not act in it, otherwise it would be a bad record on his history.

 

The wind and waves at sea became stronger and Li Chou was snapped out of his memories. He thought, fortunately, Song Zexu’s efforts really paid off.

 

He also got to witness with his own eyes, him standing on the podium.

Chapter 38 – Foreplay

       Half an hour later, Xu Ye, who had washed himself clean, appeared in the cage as requested.

       The lights were focused on a leather one-seater sofa placed in the centre of the room. Chu Yu stood by the window, a silver metal pointer in his hand and a dark coffee-coloured bathrobe loosely tied around his body, obviously he had also taken a shower. Xu Ye knelt quietly, waiting for his master to give an order.

       “Sit down.” The pointer in the man’s hand tapped on the sofa.

       That was his master’s exclusive seat.

       Xu Ye hesitated for a moment and rose to obey the order.

       “Spread your legs and rest them on the armrests.”

       The moment he heard this order, his face quickly turned red.

       The one-seater sofa wasn’t narrow. When the knees were hooked on both sides of the leather armrests, they were spread wide enough to expose the vulnerable area between his legs. As the legs rose up and his buttocks also slightly separated, Xu Ye’s fair body was flushed with shame. He turned his face sideways in embarrassment as he showed his body unreservedly to his master in a humiliating posture.

       The pointer passed slowly across the body, leaving a trail of coolness. When it unscrupulously came between the legs and teased the semi-hard c0ck, Xu Ye instinctively shrank back. He knew in a split second that he had made a mistake, and before he could utter the word ‘Master’, he received a blow on the inside of his thigh.

       “Since you like to move so much, I’ll help you.” The corner of Chu Yu’s eyes drooped slightly as he pressed the cold tip of the pointer against the entrance of Xu Ye’s asshole and he said in a deep voice, “Expand it with your fingers and show me.”

       Hearing this, Xu Ye opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

       “I’ll give you ten minutes. After ten minutes, I will insert the toys on the table. If you didn’t expand enough…” The man slowly raised the corners of his lips, showing an oppressive smile, “You can try to imagine the consequences.”

       Chu Yu had always been a man of his word, and there was absolutely no room for change after the order was given. Xu Ye turned his head and glanced at the huge rubber di-do as thick as a child’s arm on the small side table, and his face was pale. Even if he expanded the size, the insertion would still be very difficult, and if he didn’t prepare… just by imagining it, he already felt pain all over.

       From the man’s teasing the past few times, Xu Ye roughly knew how the process of expansion went. However, knowing is one thing, but actually doing it is another. At this moment, he had to spread his legs wide in front of the man and play with his asshole with his fingers, which really made him feel ashamed and unsure of what to do. Xu Ye looked at his master helplessly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes. But the man just leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window facing the sofa and looked at him with his arms crossed. He glanced up at the wall clock on the wall and said the time expressionlessly, “You still have nine minutes.”

       Anxiety and embarrassment were intertwined. Xu Ye, who had no way out, closed his eyes resignedly and pushed the middle finger of his right hand into his tight asshole. In an instant, the sunken knuckles were surrounded by the warm and tight tunnel, and the asshole stretched out due to the intrusion of foreign objects. It then instinctively contracted, squeezing the fingers. The feeling of flexing and twitching his fingers in his body was so embarrassing that it was indescribable. Xu Ye’s face was so hot that he was about to burn, and he didn’t dare to look at the other party. He slowly withdrew the middle finger that was submerged and tried to add the index finger.

       A whip struck the inner side of the thigh. Xu Ye hastily raised his head and followed his master’s gaze. He saw several bottles of lubricant already prepared on the nearby table. It was only then that he understood why his master had interrupted him.

       The rectum did not secrete body fluids, and when it was dry, it could be easily injured by friction and collision. Under Chu Yu’s training, after cleaning, Xu Ye used to do simple lubrication after cleaning. It was not difficult to insert a finger, but it was not moist enough to complete the entire expansion work. He had been so nervous and shy since just now that he had forgotten about this step and hastily took the bottle of lubricant with a red face.

       The two fingers slowly stretched the ring sphincter, and the cool lubricating fluid entered the hot body, sending shivers to his body. As his breathing got heavier, Xu Ye tried to relax the tight muscles of his abdomen, adjusting to the sensation of his mucous membranes being pushed open. “Hmn…” His fingers turned and squeezed somewhere, and he shuddered, letting out a low moan, then biting his lips in shame.

       On the black leather sofa, his fair skin glowed reddish under the lamp. Between his widely spread legs, there were fingers that were ordered to play with his holes. The increasingly heavy panting, along with the rise and fall of the chest, filled the silent night with an ambiguous atmosphere, occasionally mixed with short and restrained nasal sounds.

       “Does it feel good to stick your finger in there?” The cool and smooth whip deliberately rubbed the tip of the erect c0ck. The man looked at him playfully and said, “It’s gotten this hard.”

       “Master…” Such erotic and straightforward teasing made Xu Ye feel ashamed and wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in. The intestinal wall that had already accommodated the three fingers contracted violently due to the sense of shame, and his whole body trembled. On his heaving chest, the tender nipples have already stood up.

       “One more minute.” Chu Yu’s deep voice announced the cruel reality that was getting closer and closer.

       Xu Ye hastily added another finger, but his body resisted instinctively. His asshole rejected the intruding foreign objects, and his lower abdomen was tense all over. He panted uncomfortably and tilted his neck back, the corners of his eyes showing traces of moisture. “Master… woo…” The moan was tinged with crying sounds because of anxiety and helplessness, which sounded like the mournful cry of a small animal that had fallen into a trap.

       As a dom, he must have the ability to avoid dangers in time, and Chu Yu certainly won’t let his slave hurt himself during sex. “Relax, spread your legs wider.” He raised his hand and gently rubbed around Xu Ye’s asshole, slowly pulled out the four fingers stuck in it, and then naturally took over all the territory.

       “Hnn…” Xu Ye felt the man’s fingers enter his body, imitating a slight thrusting motion, stirring the lubricating fluid to make a sticky water sound. When the inner wall was gradually stretched, and the moment the finger pressed to a certain place, a strong stimulus exploded and went straight to the brain. “Ah—” He cried out and straightened up, but the moment he was about to ejaculate, he was pinched tightly by the root, blocking all desires tightly. “Master… ah… please, let me cum…”

       “Hush.” Chu Yu leaned into his ear and whispered, “Look at me, slave.”

       Xu Ye’s eyes were full of mist, and he managed to find a trace of clarity from his desire and looked at the man longingly, “It’s so uncomfortable…”

       “Hey, be patient, just a little longer. The night is still young, we can take our time.” The man kissed his forehead comfortingly as his fingers gradually retreated, and then, the thick di-do touched the enlarged asshole. Before Xu Ye could react, he pushed it in.

       Xu Ye took a sharp breath and flinched back desperately. However, his most vulnerable part was still held in Chu Yu’s hands, and the act of retreating caused a painful sensation that he almost burst into tears. At that moment, afraid to move further, they could only plead repeatedly incoherently, “Master, it’s too thick… Please… I don’t want…”

       “If you dare to move again, I’ll change to a thicker one.” Chu Yu’s deep warning sounded like an ultimatum, and Xu Ye’s luck was wiped out.

       There was no escape.

       The slowly entering foreign body stretched Xu Ye’s sphincter forcefully, rubbing against every inch of the intestinal wall. His eyes filled with water, and he leaned weakly on the sofa, forcing himself to relax his body, enduring such a deep and distinct violation.

       Even though he was being treated so roughly, he still felt pleasure. Every time the man touched a certain place, the lust flowing in his body made him lose himself uncontrollably. The nasal groan was like the whimper of a small animal, and the expression on his face as he tried to hold back his orga-m, was indistinguishable from pain or pleasure. The wetness in the corners of the eyes was getting more and more intense, and the fair body drenched in bright red lay horizontally on the sofa, trembling, like an alluring dessert exuding sensuality.

       At this moment, he couldn’t notice that the man who had been watching him all along had those obscure glimmers gradually converging in his eyes, forming a profound and boundless sea.

       A low, slightly husky tone rang in his ears.

       “Slave, I want to use you.”
