    Qiu Zhenyang transmigrated into a book, entered an interstellar world, and became an alpha.


    He silently looked at the young man under him with flushed cheeks and weak limbs, glaring at him with wide eyes.


    This young man is the cannon fodder the original body1The consciousness or ¡°owner¡± of the body before MC/QZY transmigrated broke off the engagement with. And the pheromones overflowing all over his body indicate that he is about to enter estrus.


    Do or not do?2As in f*ck or not. They don¡¯t do the deed in this chapter.


    This is a question worth thinking about¡­


    ¡°Fuck! Get out of here!¡± The boy roared in a hoarse voice.


    The corners of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth twitched. This small thing is quite feisty. About to melt into water, but still able to yell so forcefully?


    Raising his eyebrows, his eyes swept across the youth¡¯s black hair and chestnut-colored eyes, his heart pounding rapidly as his mind spun.


    With the assistance of his brain¡¯s powerful learning ability, Qiu Zhenyang quickly sorted out the current situation. He recalled that the world he traveled through was create from a writer friend ¨C a piece of work about a scum gong3top/seme/tachi/1 and scum shou4bottom/uke/neko/0.


    The plot was set in the interstellar era. Under the rapid development of science and technology, human beings not only opened up countless galaxies, but also developed and mastered spiritual power to control mechas. Lifespans also greatly increased.


    Human genes also underwent complex transformations, and gender differentiation has appeared.


    Those with outstanding physique and tyrannical abilities differentiated into alphas, occupying the top of the pyramid, and became synonymous with excellence. Those who are petite and weak differentiated into omegas, which are extremely fertile. Even males have wombs and can very easily conceive offspring. Alphas and omegas are few in number, accounting for only 20% of the population. The remainder, betas, are in the middle. They are mediocre in all aspects, their fertility is also moderate, and they account for the largest number of people.


    Qiu Zhenyang transmigrated into the protagonist gong, with S-level mental power, outstanding talent, and a solid background. At the same time, there is a male omega who ¡®he¡¯ has been pursuing for more than a year, that is, the protagonist shou.


    As for the young man under him, Ling Mu, he was the cannon fodder who he broke off the engagement with after graduating high school to pursue the protagonist shou.


    Qiu Zhenyang had a deep impression on Ling Mu, mainly because of his friend¡¯s complaints. This character was a cannon fodder to the point of being tragic. Family, school, and society have all brought him great pain. After a long time, became depressed from the pressure. Her sister was kidnapped by the protagonist shou, and harmed to death by the protagonist gong. The meaning of his existence is to bring some estrangement and misunderstanding between the main characters, and to assist their relationship a little before he dies.


    In short, a poor little one.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t bring any inhibitors?¡± After thinking for a while, Qiu Zhenyang asked a question according to the plot in his memory.


    The low, hoarse voice lingered in his ears, making Ling Mu¡¯s consciousness clearer. He bit his lip hard, increasing the strength between his teeth until red droplets began to bleed out, but it also helped his mind clear up a lot.


    ¡°The inhibitor failed.¡± Ling Mu pushed at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s chest with both hands, looking up at the handsome young man who was pressing on him, keenly aware of the other party¡¯s complicated emotions. With a cold face, he turned his head away. ¡°Go away, leave me alone.¡±


    Bah, who cares about you!


    Qiu Zhenyang tsk¡¯ed. No wonder no one loves him, this guy has such a bad personality!


    He pursed his lips, trying to move, but his body was out of control. It seemed to be stuck to Ling Mu¡¯s body. His body was clearly full of explosive power, but powerless to move at the moment.


    Through the thin trousers, he could even feel the high body temperature of the person under him, as the fresh floral fragrance in his nose grew sweeter and sweeter. It was not disgustingly sweet, but light and seductive, tempting him to pick up and devour it. The blood in his vessels also began surging, growing boiling hot.


    The blood in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes concentrated, turning bloodshot, as he licked his dry lips. He couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You don¡¯t have any inhibitors. If you continue like this, you will directly enter estrus. Let me help you contact a teacher.¡±


    ¡°No way!¡± With a suppressed roar, Ling Mu grabbed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s sturdy arm anxiously. ¡°I will be eliminated!¡±


    The Interstellar Academy¡¯s admission test lasts ten days. If anyone stopped midway due to any non-objective reasons, they would be directly disqualified.


    ¡°It¡¯s better to be eliminated than in heat5heat = estrus, right?¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s breathed heavily. The piece of skin where they touched seemed to be burning. He suddenly pinched the pair of wrists on top of Ling Mu¡¯s head with one hand, and stared condescendingly down on the other party with gritted teeth. ¡°And if you are in heat, you can¡¯t implicate other alphas and omegas!¡±


    In this world, omegas in heat will not only stimulate nearby alphas, but also force surrounding omegas into heat!


    Even Qiu Zhenyang, who has strong willpower, can¡¯t control himself at the moment, let alone other people! If someone came over later, the consequences would be disastrous!


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! I¡¯ll find a way myself!¡± Ling Mu snarled, looking like a fierce little beast.


    The two of them have nothing to do with each other, so there is no need for Qiu Zhenyang to meddle in his business.


    Despite Ling Mu¡¯s fierce tone, his violently shaking body began to redden. Although the arms under the short sleeves were not as white as other omegas, the skin between white and wheat tones became more attractive with the growing flush, reminding people of mouth-watering, ripe fruit.


    Qiu Zhenyang was stunned, feeling his heart begin to race, and something on his body ache¡­


    He instantly turned black, as he recalled the plot.


    He remembered that the original owner encountered Ling Mu who was in estrus, marking him, and even impregnated him! However, the original owner did not know that Ling Mu was pregnant. After winning the first place in the qualification test, he became a couple with the protagonist who he had been chasing for a year.


    Therefore, even after the end of the novel, that is, the day the protagonist gong and shou got married, he never knew that Ling Mu had conceived his child, and was beaten by his moody mother to the point of miscarriage.


    ¡°I¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang licked his lips, feeling his throat was blocked as he stared into Ling Mu¡¯s chestnut eyes speechlessly.


    When he read the book, he felt this cannon fodder was very pitiful, and was very angry at the unclean scum gong. He even protested at his friend, asking why he didn¡¯t give such a pitiful victim a better ending.


    But his friend said that Ling Mu is not the protagonist, and the meaning for his existence is to be the protagonist shou¡¯s foil. Because of this, he will be miserable, can gain sympathy, and blacken reasonably. But in the end, because he is not the protagonist, and will almost kill the protagonist, he cannot have a happy ending.


    Qiu Zhenyang still remembered that after hearing what his friend said, he fell silent for a long time with a tangled heart.


    Of course, he is even more entangled now.


    ¡°Okay, then what do you think we should do now?¡± Qiu Zhenyang gritted his teeth and endured. Blue veins burst on his forehead as he restrained his body¡¯s strong reaction. His blood was boiling, and he could hardly bear it anymore! Pheromones are really a magical thing ¨C no matter how firm his willpower is, he was about to lose his mind.


    The floral fragrance around him lingered. Qiu Zhenyang knew it was Ling Mu¡¯s pheromone. At the same time, his own pheromones were also lured out. Like tentacles being baited, they spread out, gradually encroaching on the person below him.


    ¡°You stay away from me¡­ um~¡± Just as he was about to push the other party away, his internal defenses were eroded away by the dark tide called Ling Mu. The sharp eyes were moist, and the blood-stained lips opened slightly, making a trembling sound that made his heart beat faster.


    Husky, sexy, and extremely seductive.


    The soft and faint voice made the ears of the two people on the scene burn. Ling Mu couldn¡¯t believe that the voice just now was himself.


    ¡°Stop yelling¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang suddenly leaned over Ling Mu, and raised his hand to cover his mouth. His face was flushed red, and his forehead was sweating.


    His heart was mourning inside. Leaving aside pheromonal attraction, Ling Mu himself was very attractive to Qiu Zhenyang. His slender body and firm muscles, sharp but not stiff facial features, and the contrast between his handsome face, which was sharp as a sword, and flushed expression was unbearable!


    The heavy breathing hit Ling Mu¡¯s blood-red ears, making his eyes slacken.


    Their pheromones intertwined in the close distance. The floral fragrance was gradually wrapped by the scent of sunshine, enveloping the pair strongly and hotly. Qiu Zhenyang tightly hugged Ling Mu tightly, and the throbbing inside became bigger and bigger.


    ¡°Let go, let go¡­¡± Ling Mu could no longer open his eyes as he refused, but his hands already clutched the clothes on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s back.


    Those slender knuckles clinging tightly to his back, tightened and relaxed, slowly rubbing like a milky cat. At the same time, those slender and straight legs were pushed apart by Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s weight. They slid extremely impatiently, rubbing against the wet ground of the rainforest, as well as against the hot body of the young man above.


    ¡°Ha, I want to let go too!¡± Qiu Zhenyang growled. His hands touched Ling Mu¡¯s slender waist at some point, even sneaking below his clothes.


    One touch of the smooth and delicate skin, and he was addicted.


    Although he was gay in his previous life, this was the first time they met, and his younger brother6his dick saluted directly. No matter how thick-skinned Qiu Zhenyang was, he was embarrassed!


    He gritted his teeth, holding his breath to keep the lingering sweet aroma out of his nose. Then, biting the tip of his tongue fiercely to regain his wits, he turned the red-eyed young man below him. Facing the smooth back of his neck, he bit down hard¡­


    Judging from Ling Mu¡¯s reaction, he probably didn¡¯t want to be marked directly. Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t want to be a bastard like the original owner either. Therefore, if he wanted to save Ling Mu, a temporary marking was the only way.


    ¡°Um¡­ Fuck! What the hell are you doing, go away!¡±


    A large amount of pheromones entered through the wound, causing Ling Mu to shake violently, struggling, raising his head and screaming in pain.


    Tears slid from his long and narrow eyebrows, falling into the earth, and disappeared.


    At this moment, Ling Mu only had one thought in his heart: He was actually marked by this idiot who had broken off their engagement!


    Qiu Zhenyang stubbornly pressed the person down to prevent him from moving. With the injection of a large amount of pheromones, Ling Mu¡¯s cry became weaker and weaker, and his struggles gradually stopped. The moist eyes slowly closed in anger¡­


    The floral fragrance dissipated silently, mixing into the dense bushes, and gradually blended into nature. Only the repressed humming and strong breathing in the air, accompanied by the blazing scorching sun pouring down, witnessed the collision of sweat and tears, and ambiguous passion¡­


    Again, they did not do it. QZY (MC) gave LM (ML) a temporary mark.


    Also, if anyone has a link to the extras for project, please let me know. I¡¯d like to include them when translating.

 CH 2

    ¡°God, you¡¯re really joking with me¡­¡±


    After carrying Ling Mu on his back and finding a cave to hide in, Qiu Zhenyang sat on the ground, helplessly rubbing his forehead.


    Fine, he transmigrated over. Doing, or rather not doing such things, right after he transmigrated is only thanks to his strong mind.


    After silently complaining, Qiu Zhenyang moved his body uncomfortably. Lowering his head, he glanced at the wet clothes on himself and Ling Mu.


    The test site where they were located was a small planet specially developed by the Interstellar Academy. It was mixed with various natural scenes, such as, deserts, rainforests, mountains and rivers.


    In order to find this cave, Qiu Zhenyang carried Ling Mu from the rainforest to the mountains. He finally found a relatively safe cave, but his clothes were soaked by the humid climate of the rainforest.


    When entering the test site, except for uniformly distributed clothes, knives, and timers, one can¡¯t bring anything with them. Naturally, there are no extra clothes they can change into. Omegas have poor physique, and very few omegas will take the test. Of those who attend, most will find and choose an alpha to group with. There are very omegas who travel alone like Ling Mu. If he continues wearing wet clothes like this, he will definitely get sick.


    ¡°We have to make a fire.¡± Qiu Zhenyang murmured, taking out a knife from his boots. Glancing at Ling Mu once more, he went out to find materials.


    Fortunately, many things in the interstellar era are different from his original world. Making a fire is not as difficult as drilling woods and sticks together. Finding some coal tree branches and leaves, smear a layer of animal fat, and put it under in the sun for a couple of seconds, and a fire is ignited.


    After raising the fire in the cave, Qiu Zhenyang quickly took off his clothes and put them next to the fire to dry.


    The jacket issued by the academy is quite thin, and will dry quickly, but his inner shirt will take a while.


    Qiu Zhenyang thought for a while, and got up to pull the wet clothes on Ling Mu¡¯s body.


    Just as he lifted his inner shirt, his pupils shrank, and his face completely sank.


    ¡°Why are there so many injuries?¡± The boy¡¯s dumb and depressed question sounded in the cave, and obviously no one responded.


    Slender fingertips carefully touched the terrifying bruises on Ling Mu¡¯s upper body. These were obviously from being beaten or pinched. The wounds were bruised and black, and hurt to look at.


    Ling Mu, who was in a coma, trembled slightly when his wounds were touched. His brows furrowed even tighter, obviously in pain.


    ¡°Tsk, his mother is really good.¡±1This sentence is sarcasm Qiu Zhenyang was a little irritated. After stripping Ling Mu, he covered Ling Mu with his newly dried coat, and brought the other clothes to dry off with his inner shirt.


    Ling Mu was short of water. When he went out just now, he picked some juicy fruits, which were just enough to feed Ling Mu.


    Qiu Zhenyang knelt down beside him with the fruit. Holding the person up with one hand, he pried his lips and teeth open, pressing the fruit against mouth.


    The beautiful red juice slowly flowed into Ling Mu¡¯s mouth with a squeeze. More overflowed, dripping from the corners of his mouth, flowing over his delicate neck and exposed shoulders, and disappeared under the coat.


    Ling Mu, who was clearly in a coma, was still furrowing his brows, seeming unconscious and fierce. But such a weak appearance was even more moving.


    Qiu Zhenyang stared blankly, his adam¡¯s apple rolled up and down, making an swallowing sound.


    ¡°¡­fuck.¡± When did he suddenly become so lustful! Even if Ling Mu¡¯s appearance suits his appetite, he can¡¯t be such a beast!


    As man and heaven waged war in his head, Qiu Zhenyang gritted his teeth and fed Ling Mu three or four pieces of fruit. Then he put the man down gently and fled back to the other side of the fire in a panic.


    Intending to think of something to divert his attention, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help but recall the story about Ling Mu in the original text.


    The injuries on Ling Mu¡¯s body were all caused by his mother.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s father, Qiu Zhang, is a general of their federation galaxy, and Ling Mu¡¯s father, Ling Bingqian, was Qiu Zhang¡¯s former adjutant. In a war five years ago, Ling Bingqian died heroically to save Qiu Zhang, and Ling Mu also became a child of a single-parent family.


    In order to repay Ling Bingqian, the Qiu family gave Ling Mu¡¯s mother Dong Qiulan a lot of money in addition to the pension the empire gave to the Ling family. But Dong Qiulan was not a thrifty woman, and quickly squandered the money, which soon ran out.


    With no money, Dong Qiulan clung to Lin Zhiyuan, the candidate heir of the Federation¡¯s Third Consortium, trying to be his second wife. The condition he gave to marry her is for Dong Qiulan to go to the Qiu family and let Ling Mu get engaged with their youngest son, Qiu Zhenyang.


    Qiu Zhang is a good boss, and he is also grateful for Ling Bingqian¡¯s sacrifice, and finally agreed to Dong Qiulan¡¯s tears.


    Thus, the original body and Ling Mu entered into a marriage contract. This is also the reason for the original body¡¯s hatred of Ling Mu. He protested many times, asking to break off the marriage, but was rejected by his father, worsening the relationship between father and son. The original body and Ling Mu got engaged when they were fourteen years old, but they only met a few times. Every time they met, he would shoot Ling Mu an expression of disgust, and the latter would not take the initiative to appear in front of him.


    But even with the marriage contract, Dong Qiulan¡¯s attitude towards Ling Mu still grew worse and worse. Every time she was angry with Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s first wife and son, she will vent her anger at Ling Mu and his sister, beating and scolding them.


    Later, the original body began to pursue the protagonist shou. After graduating from high school, he even disregarded his father¡¯s face and broke off the marriage contract with Ling Mu. Enraged, Dong Qiulan beat and scolded Ling Mu and his sister even more, and later sold her young daughter to human traffickers for money!


    In order to save his sister, Ling Mu searched for help everywhere but to no avail. When he was desperate, he went to the Lin family.


    At that time, it happened that Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s illegitimate son, the protagonist shou, was just recognized by the Lin family. After Ling Mu was rejected and humiliated by Lin Zhiyuan, he violated the rules of Capital Star, and kidnapped the protagonist shou with his father¡¯s mecha, in order to threaten the Lin family to find his sister. At that time, the protagonist gong and shou were in love. The original body was annoyed, but for the sake of his lover, he used his family power to find traces of the trafficker, and Ling Mu rushed over directly.


    As Qiu Zhenyang remembered the plot, his heart felt more stifled.


    When Ling Mu arrived, it was too late; his sister had already become a cold corpse. She was a brave child who was discovered by the traffickers when she was running away. She struggled with all her strength and was beaten to death, and was unable to meet her brother until she died.


    The death of his sister was the last straw that broke Ling Mu.


    There was no more light in front of his eyes, only cold and ruthless darkness.


    No one would have thought that Ling Mu rushed directly into the trafficker¡¯s black den and started the mecha¡¯s self-destruction program.


    Because his father¡¯s mecha is a military combat mecha, its self-destruction program is extremely powerful. If it self destructs, Ling Mu and the kidnapped protagonist in the mecha will have no chance of survival, and those nearby traffickers will not be able to escape.


    But in the end, Ling Mu was crushed by the powerful mental force of the angry protagonist gong, who controlled the mecha to kill him.


    As a cannon fodder, Ling Mu¡¯s life ended just like that.


    Qiu Zhenyang took a deep breath, propping up his head in one hand, and looked at Ling Mu involuntarily. The young man by the fire quietly with closed eyes breathed very lightly. He didn¡¯t notice it before, but now looking closely, he discovered a 2cm long scar on Ling Mu¡¯s right brow, slanting across the end of the eyebrow, adding a hint of a ruffian¡¯s air.


    He had a vague impression of this scar. It should also be made by Ling Mu¡¯s mother.


    In fact, in his previous world, Ling Mu¡¯s appearance was comparable to those of the popular little fresh meats. Although he is not 1.8 meters , he is more than 1.75 meters tall. Perhaps in the interstellar era¡¯s aesthetic, he is too tall, not delicate in appearance, nor cute in character, but for Qiu Zhenyang, such a boy is what he likes.


    He couldn¡¯t help thinking, if there was no mess from breaking off the marriage, mother¡¯s hatred, and grief over his sister¡¯s death, would Ling Mu die?


    After all, he is such a smart and strong person. If he hadn¡¯t reached a dead end, how could he have done such a stupid thing as kidnapping.


    After thinking about it for a long time, the boy on the other end finally made a move.


    ¡°Hmm¡­ hiss!¡± Ling Mu was very vigilant. The moment he woke up, he sat up hurriedly and looked around.


    But the tingling sensation on his neck was so obvious that his face twisted, and he covered the wound behind him with one hand.


    The wound had apparently been treated with some broken herbs.


    ¡°That¡¯s water grass. Chewed up and applied, it can reduce inflammation, and it can also block the pheromones I left behind. Don¡¯t get rid of it.¡±


    The sudden sound startled Ling Mu. Turning his head to see the calm Qiu Zhenyang, the previous memories filled his mind.


    ¡°You marked me???¡±


    Facing the boy¡¯s angry gaze, Qiu Zhenyang shrugged innocently. ¡°I couldn¡¯t help it. At that time, either you choked to death or I lost control. I couldn¡¯t think of any other way except for temporary marking. Could it be that you have a better solution?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s liver hurt with anger, and his handsome face gradually distorted.


    Panicking internally, he really couldn¡¯t think of any other way. But admitting it made him uncomfortable, and lose all face!


    Seeing his distorted expression, Qiu Zhenyang smiled secretly in his heart, and then handed him the clothes that had dried off. ¡°Put on your clothes first. Our clothes were wet just now, so I took them off to dry next to the fire to prevent you getting sick.¡±


    It was only then that Ling Mu noticed that he didn¡¯t even have any clothes, and his cheeks flushed bright red. Gritting his teeth, he snatched his clothes, and quickly put them on with his head lowered.


    Seeing that back facing him, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes swept across the white and thin back unscrupulously, and suddenly he said something mysteriously: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will be responsible for you!¡±


    The boy¡¯s movements paused, and then he replied coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t need it, get out!¡±


    After Qiu Zhenyang went to the Lin family to break off the marriage contract, he was beaten in public by his father and vomited blood. He was sent to the hospital to lie down for a month and was discharged before the entrance test. Seeing such persistence, even Ling Mu was moved. He felt that he must have true love for the rumored omega, but now Qiu Zhenyang actually said that he was responsible for him? Who believes him!


    ¡°I¡¯ve already given you a temporary mark, how can I not care?¡± Qiu Zhenyang had a natural expression on his face. ¡°Whether you admit it or not, we already have an unspeakable relationship.¡±


    Gritting his teeth, Ling Mu turned around to glare at Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°You are talking nonsense! You called off the marriage, so what are you pretending for now?¡±


    Facing the angry glare, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t dare to touch the tiger¡¯s butt2aka, poking the angry tiger = provoking LM any more. He rubbed his nose embarrassingly and sat down. The cave became quiet for a while, except for the rustling of Ling Mu¡¯s clothes.


    ¡°Hey, I apologize to you about the marriage contract.¡± Qiu Zhenyang blinked, planning to build a good relationship with Ling Mu first. After all, he was the first person he saw after transmigrating, and someone he cared about when reading the original book. Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t want to make trouble with him.


    But Ling Mu obviously didn¡¯t want to accept his apology and ignored him.


    Qiu Zhenyang was a little frustrated. ¡°Why don¡¯t you respond, I¡¯m embarrassed3ÞÏÞÎ means to be overwhelmed or embarrassed in face of a difficult situation like this.¡±


    Ling Mu took a long breath, feeling his head hurt.


    The MC¡¯s shamelessness is leaking out.

 CH 3

    This Qiu Zhenyang is really not right. Putting aside his hatred after dissolving the marriage contract, even the average alphas don¡¯t like him very much. Most alphas turn their noses up because his appearance is not delicate and his expression is too fierce. In addition, he ignores most people, so them not disturbing him is already good.


    What¡¯s more, Qiu Zhenyang has always hated him, so how could he can suddenly be so friendly.


    After thinking it through, Ling Mu replied coldly: ¡°You don¡¯t need to apologize to me. It was my mother¡¯s idea.¡±


    Ling Mu was also very reluctant about this matter. After his father died, his mother hooked up with other men within a year. This already made Ling Mu very angry. Then, the condition for her staying in a wealthy family was still to set his life-long event1marriage ¨C how could he not hate it?


    He understands Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s attitude towards him. After all, the Qiu family is the Chief Legion family of the Federation. His grandfather is an honorary marshal, his father is a five-star general, his brother is a lieutenant general, and his mother is the second daughter of a pharmaceutical family. He really can¡¯t match him.


    But understanding is just understanding. Qiu Zhenyang has treated him coldly for many years, and Ling Mu has long held no extravagant hopes for him.


    Yes, he used to have hope, and even felt fortunate and happy about his marriage with Qiu Zhenyang before. After all, which omega doesn¡¯t want an excellent alpha?


    He might seem cold and hard, but nature was hard to change. He was still an omega who longed to be cared for and loved.


    It¡¯s a pity that fate failed him. The person he longed for fell in love with others, and he became the most disgusting omega in the eyes of others. Whether it is the past, the present, or the future, their lives will not have any intersection.


    Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s eyes gradually getting colder, Qiu Zhenyang was a little overwhelmed.


    He rubbed his hands together. He knew that his sudden change of attitude would make Ling Mu suspicious, but he couldn¡¯t help say, ¡°I know I treated you very badly in the past, but it was all because I was forced into the marriage contract. I was uncomfortable, it wasn¡¯t because of you. I¡¯ve figured it out now, and regret it, so¡­ can we reconcile?¡±


    ¡°¡­Reconcile my ass!¡± Ling Mu shot him a stern look, and turned his back on him.


    Words are easy to say, who knows if they¡¯re true or false? This kind of wealthy kid likes to tease people the most. Maybe he¡¯s bored, and here to make fun of him. Ling Mu refused to be fooled!


    Qiu Zhenyang choked. Knowing that he might not be comfortable with the other party¡¯s sudden favor, he didn¡¯t continue, and asked about something else.


    ¡°Then, Ling Mu, do you have enough alien beast cores to pass the test?¡± Qiu Zhenyang glanced at the cowhide bag beside Ling Mu. He took it off when helping Ling Mu undress, and knew from the weight that the contents could not meet the standard at all.


    After all, he is an omega. No matter how powerful he is, his physical quality is innately inferior to those alphas and betas. He simply cannot pass the test alone. Moreover, this time, there are over 100,000 students competing, and only 10,000 will be accepted. Facing such strong competition, even alphas might not be able to pass.


    In the original text, Ling Mu was unable to enter the Interstellar Academy because he did not have enough crystal cores.


    Ling Mu who had already put on his clothes, glanced at him and said nothing. His crystal nuclei did not reach the standard, but there was no reason to tell Qiu Zhenyang.


    Being ignored again, Qiu Zhenyang was a little helpless, but fortunately he was thick-skinned. Sympathizing with what happened to Ling Mu in the original text, he continued: ¡°I got a lot of cores, and will share some with you. We can discuss after the test.¡±


    ¡°No need.¡± Ling Mu frowned and refused directly.


    ¡°Are you embarrassed to take my things for nothing?¡± Qiu Zhenyang raised his brows slightly. Suddenly he grinned, revealing his big white teeth. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll just take this!¡±


    He got up and walked over in three or two steps. Bending down to face Ling Mu, who raised his head in shock, he kissed him.


    ¡­


    ¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡±


    An angry roar came from a cave in the Interstellar Academy test site.


    Ling Mu¡¯s red eyes drew out a small knife and stabbed directly at the frivolous Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Ah, I just give you a kiss, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Qiu Zhenyang dodged Ling Mu¡¯s attack with a light smile, and easily pinched the person in his arms helplessly. ¡°Don¡¯t be always full of malice towards me, okay? I just want to help you. The test is about to end, and it¡¯s too late to get more crystal cores. When you were in heat, you didn¡¯t want to call a teacher, so you obviously don¡¯t want to be eliminated, right?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang held Ling Mu in his arms. The boy¡¯s solid chest muscles were attached to his front body. Strong and powerful arms lay across his waist, and the warm and powerful breath tightly wrapped him.


    They had just completed a temporary mark, and with the sudden movement, their secretly blending pheromones came to the forefront in the small cave. The throbbing in their bodies can¡¯t be blocked at all in such close proximity!


    His face turned red in an instant, and he was unable to mask the expression on his face, which Qiu Zhenyang saw.


    Qiu Zhenyang laughed, causing his chest to vibrate, making Ling Mu, who directly felt it, a mess.


    ¡°You laugh!¡± The young man roared fiercely. But his body was extremely honest, and his limp limbs couldn¡¯t escape Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s embrace.


    ¡°Okay, okay, I won¡¯t laugh anymore, I¡¯ll be serious.¡± Qiu Zhenyang restrained his expression, but there was still a smile in his eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t mean to humiliate you. I just want to help you. Can¡¯t you just accept it?¡±


    Ling Mu stopped struggling, but his brows were still tightly wrinkled.


    Since his father¡¯s death, facing his mad mother2His mother isn¡¯t crazy or psychotic, but her actions are unable to be rationally understood, a younger sister who needs to be taken care of, Ling Mu has developed a stubborn temperament of independence. He worked hard to survive, and gradually stopped trusting others after meeting too many wicked people.


    Moreover, there was an insurmountable gap between Qiu Zhenyang and him. He just wanted to stay away from this person.


    Without waiting for Qiu Zhenyang to say anything, the timer on the wrists of the two suddenly made a beeping sound.


    ¡°All students, please note that there are still three hours before the end of the test. Please arrive at the nearest lighthouse within three hours for the final evaluation. Those who have exceeded the time limit will be disqualified.¡±


    The cold mechanical voice entered the scene In the ears of each student, leaving everyone with different thoughts.


    Qiu Zhenyang glanced at the timer on his wrist, then looked at Ling Mu, and winked at him.


    Ling Mu bit his lip, and there was a tingling pain from the previously injured lip. He frowned and pushed Qiu Zhenyang again, and this time the other party let go.


    Without a word, he picked up his coat, pursed his lips, and left the cave.


    ¡°Oh, really awkward¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang sighed, kicked the fire a few times to put it out, and then went out.


    ¡ª¨C


    Qiu Zhenyang followed three meters behind Ling Mu to the closest lighthouse. He watched the boy walk forward silently, not knowing if it would be bad for him to change the plot like this.


    But he really couldn¡¯t let go of Ling Mu. When he first saw this character, he couldn¡¯t help it. And now that he met him through magical transmigration, it was even harder to let go.


    As they got closer and closer to the lighthouse, meeting many students on the way, Qiu Zhenyang met several former high school friends.


    Fortunately, when his writer friend created the protagonist gong, he based him on Qiu Zhenyang. Not only is the name the same, but the character is about 90% similar. With the easily recallable memories of the original body, it is very easy for Qiu Zhenyang to adapt after transmigrating. he doesn¡¯t even need to pretend much.


    ¡°Zhenyang, how¡¯s the harvest?¡± As people stepped up to the lighthouse, a boy came from behind and patted Qiu Zhenyang on the shoulder, and asked with a smile.


    ¡°Just passing.¡± Qiu Zhenyang shrugged. Based on memory, this guy is someone the original body knew from childhood, and had a strong relationship.


    Yuan Chenyu shouted: ¡°No way? Who bet with me that he must be the first? Besides, wasn¡¯t Cheng Anan¡¯s condition is for you to be the first in the test? Should brother3brother as in ¡°I¡± give you some to make sure you¡¯re number one?¡±


    Cheng Anan4Do y¡¯all like ¡± Anan ¡± or ¡± An¡¯an ¡°? is the protagonist shou in the original text, the omega that the original body chased for a year. Due to his prominent status and high-profile behavior, almost everyone in high school knew about his pursuit of Cheng Anan, but the original body only told a few close friends the conditions for his agreement.


    ¡°No need, some things can¡¯t be forced.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled indifferently.


    The original body liked the protagonist, but not him. He doesn¡¯t worry over someone he doesn¡¯t like. Besides, Qiu Zhenyang was very unhappy about the condition proposed by the protagonist shou himself. First in the test? Is he, Qiu Zhenyang, just a tool man, for you to show off? He wanted to see how the protagonist shou would behave if he couldn¡¯t get the first place.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s reaction surprised Yuan Chenyu. Before the test, Qiu Zhenyang swore that he would catch up with Cheng Anan. It¡¯s only been a few days, and suddenly the attitude has changed, which is really unpredictable.


    But now is not the right time to ask in detail. Yuan Chenyu changed the topic and said, ¡°Ah, anyway, dinner is on the loser. I won¡¯t be polite!¡±


    ¡°Got it, you can eat whatever you want.¡± Qiu Zhenyang laughed as he looked at Yuan Chenyu, who got his answer and rushed to the lighthouse. Shaking his head, his eyes drifted to the person in front again.


    Ling Mu has been walking in front of him. Because he was almost in heat and was temporarily marked, his body was still a little weak, so he walked slowly.


    Speaking of which, if Qiu Zhenyang hadn¡¯t been watching from behind him along the way, who knows how many times he would have been robbed.


    In the test, as long as no human life is harmed, snatching crystal cores or other materials is normal. After all, this is also an assessment of a student¡¯s qualifications. Ling Mu, an omega lone ranger, is simply a living target. If it weren¡¯t for the protection of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s powerful pheromone, the cores on his body would have been robbed long ago.


    Seeing the towering lighthouse reaching the clouds in front of him, the person in front of him suddenly stopped.


    Qiu Zhenyang seemed to be aware of it. Stepping forward calmly, he took out two level 3 crystal cores from his cowhide bag and handed them over.


    The line for passing is 100 first-level crystal cores. One third-level core is equivalent to 50 first-level cores.


    Ling Mu looked down at the crystal core in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand, and the tips of his ears slowly turned red.


    ¡°¡­Thank you, I will pay you back.¡± He said this in a low voice, frowning, as if he was angry with himself.


    He can¡¯t lose this spot, because only the Interstellar Academy allows omegas to learn the skills to control mecha. If he loses this opportunity, it means that he will never be able to touch his father¡¯s beloved mecha again in his life¡­


    Since leaving the cave, Ling Mu has been struggling to decide whether to accept Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s crystal cores. The strong pheromone of the young man has followed behind him. The smell of sunlight is warm and powerful, and he can clearly feel seeming to protect him. In the end, perhaps it was the impact of the temporary marker that enabled Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s protective actions break his psychological defense, or whether it was his longing for his father and his obsession with mecha that prevailed. In short, Ling Mu still made the decision and took the step.


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help curling his lips, with the urge to tease him. ¡°Pay me back? You know, I don¡¯t lack these.¡±


    The bad attitude made Ling Mu¡¯s embarrassment dissipate a lot. He unhappily rolled his eyes at him. ¡°Whatever you want is okay, as long as it¡¯s something I can afford.¡±


    ¡°Really¡­ anything I want?¡± Qiu Zhenyang lowered his voice wickedly, afraid he would be too embarrassed. Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s face instantly flush, wrinkling his nose and wanting to hit someone, he cleared his throat. ¡°Well, okay, I believe you.¡±


    The last 3 words made Ling Mu¡¯s outstretched hand pause. His neck was red as he quickly grabbed the cores, lowered his head, and almost fled to the teachers at the lighthouse entrance.


    Seeing the fleeing back of the young man, Qiu Zhenyang laughed with sparkling eyes.


    You know, if such a lovely young man did not experienced those pains, how could he be disappointed in this world?


    QZY is a bit of a rogue, but only to LM.


    And please share if you prefer ¡°Cheng An¡¯an¡± or ¡°Cheng Anan¡±. The latter feels a bit weird visually, but the former is a pain to think through when translating conjunctions.

 CH 4

    T/N: Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s name will be ¡°An¡¯an¡± as requested by most readers. Please bear with the odd conjunction of An¡¯an.


    After handing in the crystal cores for registration at the exit, Qiu Zhenyang waited with the others under the lighthouse for nearly ten minutes, until the bell rang, representing the end of the test. The remaining candidates who did not report in also directly lost their admission qualifications.


    A large number of students waited underneath each of the hundred lighthouses, for the final assessment results.


    Although 100 crystal nuclei is the standard, the exact situation will differ every time. After all, the Interstellar Academy will only recruit 10,000 people. If the candidates are of higher quality, the passing line may be raised to 110 crystal nuclei, and students with less than this number will also be eliminated.


    ¡°Classmates, after we tallied statistics just now, the final results have been determined.¡± The teachers standing on the only high platform under the lighthouse looked at the students under the stage solemnly, and the scene suddenly became tense.


    Some students swayed nervously and kept rubbing their hands in front of them.


    ¡°Congratulations to the students who have obtained 120 crystal nuclei this time.¡± A middle-aged man who stood at the forefront smiled and clapped, and the teachers behind him also clapped.


    ¡°Yeah! I passed, hahaha!¡±


    ¡°I will be a student of the Interstellar Academy in the future! Awesome!¡±


    ¡°Ah, no, I have exactly 119, I thought I could pass¡­¡±


    ¡°This time the line for reaching the standard is too high, the quality of students is not just a little bit stronger.¡±


    Students below cheered, but there were also disappointed and sad faces.


    ¡°Those who didn¡¯t pass don¡¯t need to be discouraged, there are still many excellent schools waiting for you. You are all great children, and the future is promising!¡± The middle-aged man continued to encourage them with a warm smile on his face.


    In the crowd, Ling Mu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who had been paying attention to Ling Mu, was stunned when he saw his smile, and pursed his lips and smiled silently.


    ¡°What the hell are you doing, Qiu Zhenyang. Smiling so disgustingly!¡± Yuan Chenyu, who was on the side, saw Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression, and shivered.


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­If you want to die, just tell me.¡±


    Next, those students who did not pass were led away by two teachers to a starship docking station in dejection. The remaining prospective students followed the other teachers to another starship dock.


    Half an hour later, all students who passed the test gathered at the stop. In the spacious open space parked the latest passenger starship, with more than enough room to accommodate 10,000 people.


    The dense group of students gathered in front of the starship, watching the headmaster of the Interstellar Academy speak on the temporary podium in front.


    ¡°First of all, congratulations to you for joining our Interstellar Academy. I am very honored that you students are very qualified this year.¡± The principal is an old man who looks to be in his sixties, with a strong body and a loud voice. However, according to Starnet, Principal Wang is already over 150 years old.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at him curiously. He didn¡¯t expect the old man to still be so energetic at the age of 150.


    ¡°Before sending you back, we have one last task, which is the award ceremony.¡± The principal smiled and took the paper handed over by another teacher.


    This award ceremony is to present awards to the top three outstanding students in the test.


    ¡°Now, those names who I read, please come up to accept the award. Cao Shuhuan, 912 crystal nuclei, Qiu Zhenyang, 908 crystal nuclei, Tao Yu, 836 crystal nuclei.¡±


    Hearing his name, Qiu Zhenyang was about to go up, when Yuan Chenyu suddenly pulled at his arm.


    His friend lowered his voice and pointed a middle finger at him. ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, you traitor. The second place actually lied to me and said that he barely passed the test?!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his arm around his neck and made a beating motion. Raising his eyebrows, he hummed: ¡°So, you don¡¯t accept?¡±


    ¡°I surrender, dad!¡± Yuan Chenyu immediately confessed. The title he blurted out made Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s stomach hurt from laughter.


    After laughing, he finally ran to the front and came on stage when the principal said his name for the second time.


    In the crowd, Ling Mu looked at the confident and flamboyant face above with a complicated expression, and mixed feelings.


    With 908 nuclei, plus the 2 third-level nuclei he had given him that could equal to 100 first-level nuclei, Qiu Zhenyang should have been the veritable number one. He would have been the first student prodigy with more than 1,000 nuclei in history. But in order to help him, he did not hesitate to give up this honor¡­


    Biting his lip, Ling Mu¡¯s chestnut eyes were full of the arrogant teenager on the stage. He didn¡¯t know how to describe his mood at the moment.


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t care much about the missed first place.


    Compared with the original owner, his desire to win isn¡¯t so strong, nor does he need to rely on this ranking to please Cheng An¡¯an. It is also very cost-effective for him to use those two crystal cores to trade for Ling Mu¡¯s spot.


    ¡°Let¡¯s congratulate these three classmates first. Everyone should learn from them in the future, and study and work hard.¡± Encouraging the new students, the principal added a sentence after the applause to stimulate them. ¡°Furthermore, Our school has also prepared a gift for the top three students, that is, the crystal cores they get this time can be converted into federal coins and collected as their own!¡±


    Hearing this, the boys and girls in the field were in an uproar!


    When they got out of the test site and handed in the nuclei, all their nuclei were given to the teachers.


    One must know that a first-level crystal core can be sold for 100 federal coins, and those in the top with more than 900 cores means more than 90,000 federal coins! That¡¯s almost an entire year¡¯s worth of expenses for an ordinary family of three!


    ¡°My god¡­¡±


    Many people exclaimed in surprise; they were really envious.


    However, for the three people on stage, to reach the top three, their own strengths are strong and their backgrounds are not weak. The mere tens of thousands of coins are unattractive. But it was excited to be admired by so many people.


    ¡°Okay, everyone must be exhausted from the 10 day test. Now, get ready to board the ship, and set off for Capital Star.¡±


    The principal gave an order, and the teachers began to assemble students, leading group after group into the starship, where they were given their own rooms.


    Qiu Zhenyang originally wanted to go with Ling Mu, but there were too many people, and Ling Mu wasn¡¯t tall among a group of betas and alphas. After glancing around fruitlessly, he could only follow the crowd into the starship first.


    First and third places were walking beside him. These two have good personalities and have already greeted Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Hey, Qiu Zhenyang!¡±


    Someone shouted Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s name from behind. Turning his head suspiciously, Qiu Zhenyang found that it was Zhuo Hang, one of the original body¡¯s good friends. He squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, only to find that he was still holding someone in his hand when he got closer.


    ¡°Zhenyang, brother brought your person out safely.¡± Zhuo Hang winked at Qiu Zhenyang as soon as he came over, pointing at the person beside him with a smile. ¡°Look, Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s body is safe. Not to say injuries, not even a single hair fell out!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang followed his smug fingers and looked over. A bright and beautiful face came into view, and Qiu Zhenyang raised his brows.


    This¡­ is the original protagonist shou, Cheng An¡¯an?


    He really is as depicted in the book. Delicate and gentle like water, with a pair of large, dark blue eyes rippling like lake water, making people look like they are about to sink in. Golden shoulder-length hair, and skin as white as cream that appears like it can be ruined with a touch. Very eye-catching.


    But¡­ it was only a passing glimpse. Probably because he has different aesthetics from the original body, he didn¡¯t look more. Or in other words, his aesthetics are different from his author friend who is also gay.


    ¡°Really, thank you buddy. I¡¯ll invite you to dinner another day.¡± Qiu Zhenyang quickly responded and thanked Zhuo Hang.


    In order to get the first place in the test, the original body asked Zhuo Hang to take Cheng An¡¯an to obtain crystal nuclei safely. Because the original body moved too quickly, Cheng An¡¯an could only follow his friend.


    ¡°Sigh, what is a thanks between brothers.¡± Zhuo Hang patted him on the shoulder, very loyally.


    Seeing that Qiu Zhenyang just glanced at him lightly, Cheng An¡¯an felt a little uncomfortable. But the reason for his discomfort was that Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t get the first place in the entrance test.


    Interstellar Academy has many talents. He has hanged Qiu Zhenyang for a year, and if he drags him further, the big fish is likely to run away. It is almost time reel it in, and officially be with him.


    The ¡°first place¡± condition he proposed before is actually a pretense. After all, first place in the test receives a very high degree of attention in the academy. He planned to rely on Qiu Zhenyang to enter the academy¡¯s inner circle, and get more favorable news and better resources. Even if Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t get first place, he wouldn¡¯t refuse him. After all, the forces behind Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s Qiu family and his mother are extremely powerful ¨C within the Interstellar Academy, very few can compare.


    Now that Qiu Zhenyang did not won the first place, although Cheng An¡¯an will not refuse, he will not take the initiative. Only in this way can he ensure that he has the upper hand in their relationship.


    ¡°Wow, such a good-looking person exists? You should be an omega, right? You are so beautiful!¡± The first place, Cao Shuhuan, and the third, Tao Yu, who had not left yet, saw the omega, and immediately came over with Zhuo Hang, greeting, complimenting, and looking at Cheng An¡¯an with bright eyes.


    Cheng An¡¯an blinked and looked at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s reaction first.


    In the past, whenever someone approached him in front of Qiu Zhenyang, the latter would get angry, and sometimes even fight.


    But now seeing the two of them come to chat, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s calmness seemed very different from his previous attitude. It felt like something was wrong.


    Is it because he didn¡¯t get the first place, and felt ashamed and embarrassed to face him? Cheng An¡¯an pursed his lips and decided to give him another dose of powerful medicine.


    When shaking hands with Tao Yu, Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s reaction was quite normal. But when it was time to shake hands with Cao Shuhuan, Cheng An¡¯an suddenly raised a bright smile, his eyes were like sparkling waves. ¡°Classmate Cao is really amazing. You actually got first place in the entrance exam, I really admire you.¡±


    Alphas have no resistance to rarely seen omegas, not to mention Cheng An¡¯an is so beautiful and charming, just a deliberate glance mades Cao Shuhuan feel a buzzing sound in his head, and his heart race.


    His eyes peering at Cheng An¡¯an began to go slack. As if he was fascinated by him, staring at the other party in a daze, and even forgetting to loosen his hands.


    Watching this scene, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes gradually turned cold.


    Naturally, it¡¯s impossible for him to be jealous. He¡¯s not happy because Cheng An¡¯an really played him like a monkey.


    Cheng Anan is a green tea bitch.

 CH 5

    In the original text, the protagonist gong and shou met at the beginning of the third year of high school. The original body almost immediately confessed his heart, but Cheng An¡¯an refused directly, so the unwilling original body began to blindly chase him.


    And the reason why it this was originally a scum gong, scum shou text is because in the beginning, the original body simply liked Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s appearance. Unwilling to be rejected, he kept chasing him. But as he was pursuing Cheng An¡¯an, he also had quite ambiguous relationships with other omegas. Cheng An¡¯an, having completely grasped his psychology, continued hanging the original body, using his family background to improve his spiritual power and quality of life. At the same time, he improved his popularity and charm, so that more alphas would come forward, and he could gain more benefits.


    It was not until a year later, that is, after the entrance test, when the original body won first place in the test, that the two finally confirmed their relationship. But their feelings were not too deep at the time, and Cheng An¡¯an only agreed to associate with him because he had entered a more cruel environment and needed the original body¡¯s backing.


    In short, it was not until the later half, after experiencing various events, going through honor and disgrace, and communicating their hearts, that they truly became lovers.


    His friend¡¯s book was written for fun at first. Because the protagonist gong¡¯s prototype was Qiu Zhenyang, he was curious and read it, only to find the protagonist gong¡¯s concept of love was completely different from his view of love.


    As for the protagonist shou, although he did all of this to overcome hardships, Qiu Zhenyang hated being used by others the most in his life. If Cheng An¡¯an had behaved normally, Qiu Zhenyang might be able to get along with him. But this guy was obviously acting to stimulate him, which really disgusted him.


    The angry1Raws used ¡°¼øæ»»ú¡± which translates to bitch machine. Couldn¡¯t find direct meaning, but it should either refer to someone who hates and can see through green tea bitches, or is a bitch/green tea. Qiu Zhenyang expressed disgust!


    ¡°Hey, hey, can you let go? Shaking hands takes so long? This is someone my buddy likes. Please pay attention.¡±


    Before Qiu Zhenyang could react, Zhuo Hang on the side couldn¡¯t take it anymore, and shouted at Cao Shuhuan unhappily.


    Cheng An¡¯an is the omega that his brother likes. No one can rob him!


    Being interrupted by Zhuo Hang, the embarrassed Cao Shuhuan finally let go. But he continued watching Cheng An¡¯an with burning eyes.


    However, Zhuo Hang became even more uncomfortable. Nudging Qiu Zhenyang with his arm, he warned, ¡°Hurry up, the omega you like is about to be kidnapped. Even if you¡¯re not worried, brother is worried for you.¡±


    After Zhuo Hang said this, Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s eyes also turned to Qiu Zhenyang.


    He just wanted to stimulate Qiu Zhenyang so he would return to his previous state. As long as Qiu Zhenyang made a move, he would definitely follow Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Making friends is their own choice. I have no right to restrict them.¡± However, no one expected that Qiu Zhenyang just smiled lightly, and then turned around to follow the main crowd to board the starship.


    Cheng An¡¯an and Zhuo Hang were both stunned, and the former was even more in disbelief.


    He keenly felt that Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s attitude towards him was different. In the past, Cheng An¡¯an could accurately grasp his psychology and make him love him and continually chase after him. He even had spare energy to deal with other alphas back then, but now, he was unable to see through Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°This¡­¡± Zhuo Hang stood on the spot with a bewildered face, and stepped forward to chase Qiu Zhenyang. Seeing Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s ugly face, he added sheepishly, ¡°That, Zhenyang is probably jealous. Don¡¯t worry too much.¡±


    After that, Zhuo Hang also slipped away.


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s back disappearing in the crowd, Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s eyes were full of anger and doubt.


    What does Qiu Zhenyang mean? Chasing him so tightly before, is he playing hard to get now?


    No matter how he considered it, there was no outcome. Cheng An¡¯an was so angry and didn¡¯t want to waste his energy, so he rolled his eyes to keep up with the crowd. Anyway, he doesn¡¯t believe that Qiu Zhenyang can really keep this attitude up. He is very confident that he will definitely come to him.


    After boarding the starship, everyone stayed in the room that the teacher arranged for them. The rooms for alphas, betas, and omegas are divided into three separate areas, and public areas, such as the cafeteria, are for everyone.


    Shortly after entering the room, a robot soon brought the backpacks they had brought to the starship.


    After the robot left, Qiu Zhenyang closed the door, opened his backpack, took out a change of clothes, and rushed into the bathroom to wash himself for half an hour.


    After surviving in the wild for 10 consecutive days, even if they could wash off in the river, it was not as comfortable as taking a bath. Qiu Zhenyang had long felt itchy and unbearable.


    He came out of the bathroom wearing a pair of camouflage pants, revealing the strong but not exaggerated muscles of his upper body, with water droplets trickling down the skin, full of color.2Color as in sexual attraction / seeing a hot body


    ¡°Huh, so comfortable¡­¡±


    Shaking his wet hair, Qiu Zhenyang lay on the bed and relaxed. He stared at the ceiling for a while, then got up and put on a shirt. Digging a terminal from his backpack, he sat at the deck and made a video call to the original body¡¯s mother.


    Qiu Zhenyang adapted quite well after recalling some memories from the original body, gradually  immersing himself in this world. He wants to communicate with his relatives first, so as not to be too nervous when he returns to Capital Star and meets face-to-face.


    ¡°Hey, mom.¡±


    ¡°Yangyang! You finally called, mom has been worried about you! The test is over, right? My son must be the first! After all, you have been so good since you were a child. Mom believes in you! ¡±


    As soon as the video call was connected, a beautiful lady with delicate makeup appeared. She smiled very playfully. She was almost fifty years old, but she only looked in her early thirties, and her gentle demeanor made people feel close at a glance.


    Qiu Zhenyang reluctantly listened to her chattering like a bird for a long time. When she finally paused, he said, ¡°Mom, the test is over, we are returning by the starship. But this time I only got second place, I¡¯m sorry to disappoint you.¡±


    Zhu Qin blinked her big eyes, and waved her hand dismissively. ¡°No, no, how can mom be disappointed in you? Second place is also very good, and means that you have a goal to strive for in the future. Besides, it can be cold and uncomfortable in such a high place!3metaphor for some high-ranking people who have no close friends and are pushed down from a high position by others. Simply put, standing in a high place and can¡¯t stand the wind and cold there. The higher one¡¯s realm, the fewer people can be companions, and the more lonely and cold people feel.¡±


    Hearing that her precious son took the second place, Zhu Qin immediately comforted Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Mom, where is dad and my brother?¡± In order to change the topic, Qiu Zhenyang quickly moved out his father and brother.


    ¡°Oh, your dad has gone out on a mission and will come back the day after tomorrow. Your brother is training in the army. Oh, by the way, son, have you eaten? It¡¯s getting late, don¡¯t starve yourself.¡± Zhu Qin deserves to be a child-spoiling mother, and in two to three sentences, immediately pulled the topic back to Qiu Zhenyang.


    Facing this cheap mother, Qiu Zhenyang was both fond and helpless. He could only say, ¡°I¡¯ll go eat now, mom. I¡¯ll hang up first, you should also eat well.¡± Mother and son said goodbye again, and finally hung up.


    After finishing the call, the refreshed Qiu Zhenyang changed his clothes and went out to the cafeteria.


    A canteen that can accommodate 10,000 people at the same time cannot be large. Qiu Zhenyang sighed with emotion after entering the canteen.


    Looking around, he saw the windows on the left and right were selling different things. The window on the left is for food, while the window on the right sold tubes of reagents filled with strange liquids.


    Interestingly, many more people were buying reagents.


    With raised brows, Qiu Zhenyang walked towards the window with cooked food without hesitation.


    Following the flow of people, he grabbed a dinner plate, and ordered a few dishes at the menu window. These dishes all require students to pay for themselves. The prices aren¡¯t low, but for Qiu Zhenyang, who had an illustrious family, just the federation coins he was awarded by the teachers were enough for him to eat and drink for a while.


    While he was looking for a spot to sit, Yuan Chenyu saw him with sharp eyes, and came over and hooked him around the neck to lead him to a dining table.


    ¡°Come, come tell your buddies how you got so many crystal cores later.¡± There were too many people when boarding the starship before, and Yuan Chenyu didn¡¯t catch him then, so he could only ask carefully now.


    Qiu Zhenyang was a little taller than him, and this position was obviously uncomfortable. But he didn¡¯t say anything, and instead smiled.


    He likes to make friends very much, and he prefers friends who are warm and friendly without any grudges.


    Have to say that his author friend really understood his temperament.


    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that Zhuo Hang? Let¡¯s go and eat with him.¡± Yuan Chenyu had a good relationship with the original owner, and also knew his friends.


    Qiu Zhenyang glanced over, but immediately stopped. ¡°Tsk, is your eyesight so bad? Look at who¡¯s by Zhuo Hang¡¯s side.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu looked over suspiciously. His eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief: ¡°Is that an omega? My God, what kind of luck does Zhuo Hang have? There are very few omegas who can pass the Interstellar Academy test. How could he get one so quickly?¡±


    His direct words made Qiu Zhenyang dumbfounded. Patting the back of his head, he comforted, ¡°Sigh, if you want to hook up with an omega, go ask and learn from Zhuo Hang. Although that kid is a bit stupid, he has a lot of tricks.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu held his dinner plate with one hand with a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred. ¡°Interstellar Academy has 100 classes each year, and the number of omega classes does not exceed 5 each year. There are more than 60 alpha classes. Zhuo Hang is very lucky, if only I could find an omega to team up with in the test.¡±


    Seeing his friend¡¯s depressed face, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes raised proudly, and a thought emerged in his mind. Recalling Ling Mu¡¯s stubborn and icy expression, he couldn¡¯t help envision the flushed and angered expression when he almost went into estrus.


    Thinking of this, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mood improved.


    Look, he¡¯s an omega man too!4As in has an omega


    ¡°Then what should we do. Let¡¯s not go to him?¡± Yuan Chenyu seemed to want to go there, but he didn¡¯t want to disturb his brother¡¯s omega.


    ¡°Not going.¡±


    Before Qiu Zhenyang could think more, a sudden noise not far behind attracted the attention of the two of them.


    ¡°Why is it so noisy. Looks like there are many people over there, what¡¯s going on¡­ so many omegas!¡± Yuan Chenyu just turned his head to take a look, and immediately stared.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression was the exact opposite, and his eyes were cold. There was obviously some conflict between the omegas in the crowd, and the one who was restrained by an alpha, with gritted teeth and struggling, was Ling Mu!


    ¡°A few of them are quite good looking, you say¡­ hey, hey, Zhenyang, what are you doing! Wait for me!¡± Seeing Qiu Zhenyang frowning and running over, Yuan Chenyu quickly followed.


    QZY: Mumu, wife, here I come~

    T/N: Thank you Mrow for the support, and letting all of us read QZY getting kicked in the ass in the extra release!


    -komorebi


    Ling Mu looked at the nutrient solution reagent that was smashed to the ground, and then at the boy in front of him with cold eyes.


    The boy had soft blond hair, a sweet appearance and a petite figure, but his expression was not very good-looking and full of sarcasm at this moment.


    ¡°What, can¡¯t speak? If you can¡¯t prove that you didn¡¯t cheat, you should admit it to the teacher.¡± The blond boy arrogantly glared at Ling Mu in disgust. ¡°Don¡¯t blame me, it¡¯s you who¡¯s too much, and shamelessly cheated to pass. Even if you¡¯ve been kicked out by our Lin family, you¡¯ve still love our face!¡±


    The young man in front of him is named Lin Nuo, the son of Lin Zhiyuan, the candidate heir of the Third Consortium. At the same time, he¡¯s also Ling Mu¡¯s former step-brother. Of course, since Qiu Zhenyang broke off their engagement, and the Lin family kicked out his mother and him, they no longer had anything to do with each other.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t cheat.¡± Ling Mu said coldly.


    But Lin Nuo didn¡¯t believe him. ¡°You didn¡¯t form a team with others. As a lone omega, it¡¯s impossible to get so many crystal cores. Do you think we¡¯re all fools?¡±


    The group of youths behind Lin Nuo echoed him, and looked towards Ling Mu with eyes full of contempt.


    Ling Mu really didn¡¯t want to talk nonsense with Lin Nuo. Unable to finish the meal, he he turned around and left with a snort. His body is still very uncomfortable. Instead of dealing with this person, he might as well go back to his room and sleep.


    ¡°Hey, did I let you go, stop for me!¡± Lin Nuo, who was ignored directly, stomped his feet in anger, and immediately instructed a familiar alpha to arrest people.


    The alpha is tall and has long legs and strong strength. He held him down in three or two steps, locked his arms, and lowered his head threatening. ¡°I advise you to stay calm. I won¡¯t take pity on jade against an omega like you.¡±


    Unable to move, Ling Mu gritted his teeth and struggled hard. But it didn¡¯t work at all. He only roared with hatred: ¡°You¡¯re fucking sick!¡±


    When Lin Nuo saw that he was restrained, he immediately felt a lot more refreshed, and sauntered over arrogantly. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly widened.


    ¡°You, you¡¯ve been marked?!¡±


    When he came out of the room, Ling Mu changed into high-collar clothes, and even covered the wound with a pheromone sticker, blocking out the pheromone belonging to Qiu Zhenyang. But because he was unable to see the wound, the pheromone sticker was a little crooked, and some teethmarks were still exposed. Now that he was caught by the alpha, had his arms locked, and struggled, the hidden teethmarks were revealed.


    Lin Nuo¡¯s voice was loud, and the large group of omegas gathered around was eye-catching, so many people heard that Ling Mu was marked.


    He didn¡¯t think it was a big deal, and widened his eyes in surprise. ¡°Ling Mu, you shouldn¡¯t have sold your body just to pass the test, right?¡±


    ¡°Shut up and get out of the way!¡± Ling Mu was so angry that his eyes were red. The eyes falling on him in shock and doubt were disgusting.


    Most onlookers chose to believe Lin Nuo¡¯s words. After all, there has never been an omega that could pass the test alone in the history of the Interstellar Academy. Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s appearance, which doesn¡¯t look like an omega at all, and his vicious attitude, it¡¯s unlikely that an alpha will volunteer to help, so he must have sold his body in exchange for crystal cores!


    All of a sudden, the students who were watching the gossip nearby started to discuss and point fingers at Ling Mu.


    ¡°My god, I can¡¯t believe there¡¯s such a shameless omega¡­¡± An omega pulled his little sister with a look of disgust.


    ¡°Damn, there are still people willing to sell themselves? I¡¯d lose all interest just seeing his tough appearance.¡± Some of the alphas who got together disdainfully commented.


    ¡°Tch, just because they¡¯re omegas, there are people willing to trade their crystal cores with them.¡± The betas in the back also watched with nasty expressions.


    The noisy voices gradually became distant in his ears. Ling Mu did not stop struggling, but he was unable to break free. Gasping heavily, he stared at Lin Nuo who was smiling smugly not far away, and the bruised scars on his body that had not yet subsided becoming more painful.


    It¡¯s always like this. Lin Nuo is always like this! Obviously he never offended him from start to end, and even avoided him, but he can always find various reasons to find fault with him!


    In the past, he purposely mixed up right and wrong in front of his mother1mother as in LM¡¯s mom, and had her lock him in the house and whip him. He even lied to his teachers and classmates to make everyone hate him! Now that he has left the Lin family, he still continues to target him!


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyes were full of hatred, and Lin Nuo¡¯s eyes grew resentful.


    There was always only one reason for him to trouble Ling Mu. That is, Ling Mu was engaged to the young master of the Qiu family! He was obviously just a lowly, ugly, vulgar person, yet he was able to get engaged to such a noble person. That was his goal since he was a child! How could Lin Nuo not be jealous! Even though the engagement has been dissolved now, the resentment buried in his heart was difficult to dissipate.


    The noise here is getting louder and louder, and Ling Mu¡¯s wrists was also pinched red by the alpha.


    He can feel the thousands of pairs of eyes watching, pointing at him in disgust. They can abuse him and spurn him as much as they want, just because of the mark on the back of his neck.


    Listening to the mocking voices, the corners of Lin Nuo¡¯s mouth happily curled up.


    No matter how Ling Mu passed the test, his reputation in the Interstellar Academy would never improve.


    Just as Lin Nuo was gloating, a voice came from outside the crowd.


    ¡°I marked him.¡±


    The familiar voice made Ling Mu¡¯s body tremble slightly. He turned his head with his red eyes, and met Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s angry gaze.


    These words quieted the surrounding voices. Qiu Zhenyang squeezed the crowd and walked in with the plate in his hand. Without further ado, he slammed the plate in his hand onto the head of the alpha that was holding Ling Mu.


    The alpha didn¡¯t expect Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s move at all, and instantly froze in place. When the viscous soup and food began dripping dripping down his head, he suddenly roared, releasing Ling Mu, and smashing his fist towards Qiu Zhenyang.


    Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Qiu Zhenyang easily took the punch, and even leaned forward effortlessly, and threw the man to the ground ruthlessly.


    Ling Mu was startled at the scene in front of him. Opening his lips slightly, he looked at Qiu Zhenyang. The latter didn¡¯t even look at the alpha. He walked directly in front of him, lowered his head and raised his wrist gently, looking at the bruises on it, he said with some distress: ¡°It hurts a lot, right? I¡¯ll give you medicine later.¡±


    The warm touch made Ling Muse shrink back. He pursed his lips tightly, and pulled back his hand subconsciously took a step back.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hands froze in place, sighing inwardly.


    It seems that the poor little thing is still very resistant to his approach.


    Qiu Zhenyang could only sigh at himself again. The alpha had stood up again, coming forward with his fists, but was stopped by another boy halfway.


    Yuan Chenyu looked at the alpha with a smile, and shook his head. ¡°I advise you not to provoke him. Qiu Zhenyang, this kid, won¡¯t even be out of breath fighting against 10 people. It¡¯s better not to seek death, brother.¡±


    The alpha was pissed, but in the end he didn¡¯t continue, mainly because of the name that popped out of Yuan Chenyu¡¯s mouth.


    Qiu Zhenyang, the second place in the entrance test, the second son of the Qiu family, the Federation¡¯s Chief Legion family, and one of the heirs of the Zhu pharmacy family, and of the First Consortium.2Chief Legion = military. Zhu family = pharmaceuticals/medicine. First Consortium (and Third earlier) = business.


    He¡­ is an existence that he can¡¯t afford to offend at all!


    With such a prominent background, Qiu Zhenyang is actually one of the most discussed figures on Starnet, and because they¡¯re in the same class, most students know about Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Qiu, Qiu Zhenyang?¡± Lin Nuo finally reacted at this moment. Frowning, he looked at Qiu Zhenyang timidly.


    ¡°Hello.¡± Qiu Zhenyang nodded, raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and then returned his gaze to Ling Mu.


    As an omega, he is still a very handsome omega. This is the first time that Lin Nuo has been so ignored. However, as far as Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s identity is concerned, he is full of confidence. Lin Nuo¡¯s heart beat a little faster, looking at his handsome face. Biting his lips, he cleared his throat, and asked in a charming tone, ¡°Classmate Qiu, you just said you marked Ling Mu?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s body trembled slightly, as he looked at Lin Nuo with a hostile expression.


    Qiu Zhenyang moved to block Ling Mu behind him, and replied calmly: ¡°Yes, the person who marked Ling Mu is me. But it was due to an accident, and classmate Ling Mu was also largely forced. Marking, this matter, was entirely out of my initiative.¡±


    All the onlookers around were stunned, and didn¡¯t expect such a development. But most people obviously didn¡¯t believe his words, and naturally, Lin Nuo didn¡¯t either.


    After all, almost everyone knew that Qiu Zhenyang went to the Lin family to dissolve the engagement! At that time, Lin Nuo hid on the stairs and watched. He deeply remembered Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s deeply disgusted attitude towards Ling Mu at that time. How could he mark Ling Mu now?


    Lin Nuo¡¯s breathing gradually picked up. Qiu Zhenyang is willing to mark Ling Mu? He doesn¡¯t believe it!


    ¡°Classmate Qiu, Ling Mu must be the one who seduced you, right? Did he give you some forbidden drug so that you couldn¡¯t refuse him? Otherwise, who would want to mark someone like him!¡± Enraged to the point of madness, Lin Nuo began to yell profanities. ¡°This slut is so shameless, even though classmate Qiu has already broke off their marriage, he still does such a thing, just like his mother!¡±


    ¡°You lie!¡± Ling Mu was immediately annoyed, and rolled up his sleeves, rushing over to fight.


    Before, Ling Mu was unwilling to accept the living allowance from the Lin family, and had been working to earn a living. Because of his identity as an omega and his attitude, he had offended numerous people, and became very good at fighting. While there is no chance of winning against alphas, he is still very confident against betas, let alone an omega who is shorter than him.


    Ling Mu only had one thought in his mind ¨C beat this guy Lin Nuo into a pig¡¯s head!3Pig head = swollen, black and blue


    But just as he walked forward with fist raised, an arm wrapped his waist, and he was easily pressed into his arms by someone.


    QZY¡¯s internal thoughts: Mumu doesn¡¯t like me yet.

 CH 7

    ¡°Don¡¯t be impulsive, calm down.¡± Qiu Zhenyang put one arm around Ling Mu¡¯s waist and touched his thorny head with the other, staring down at him comfortingly.


    ¡°Get out of the way, or I¡¯ll beat you together!¡± Ling Mu¡¯s eyes were red with anger, but in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes, there was no threat at all.


    Ignoring the reaction of the shocked students around him, gasping for breath after seeing his actions, Qiu Zhenyang controlled Ling Mu effortlessly, and said to Lin Nuo quite easily, ¡°There was no medicine. You all know that when entering the test site, you have to undergo a whole body scan. How could anyone bring in things like banned drugs? As for you saying that Ling Mu is ugly¡­ I¡¯m sorry, everyone has different aesthetics. I just like him.¡±


    ¡°Shut the f*ck up!¡± Ling Mu, whose flushed with anger just now, reddened with shame.


    He waved his arms in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arms, clearly hitting hard, but the person being beaten didn¡¯t react at all, as if his strength was only enough to tickle him.


    The onlookers wore different expressions. For a while they didn¡¯t know which point to complain about first.


    Lin Nuo gritted his teeth in anger. From the past to now, Ling Mu has always been disgraced and insulted by others, but since when has him, Lin Nuo, ever lost face! All of this is because of that Ling Mu! Moreover, who knew that Qiu Zhenyang would speak up for Ling Mu like that! What the hell is he saying? Doesn¡¯t Qiu Zhenyang like another omega, since when did he get with Ling Mu?


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ve said everything that needs to be said. The excitement is over, what are you all still doing here? You¡¯re blocking other people¡¯s way. Hurry up and leave.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was the first to leave the crowded center.


    After being dragged all the way to the place to grab dinner plates, Ling Mu finally regained his freedom. He glared at Qiu Zhenyang fiercely and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t ask for your help.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was speechless, but Yuan Chenyu, who was next to him, glared. ¡°Hey, I say, Zhenyang is kind enough to help you, why don¡¯t you appreciate it!¡±


    Although he also watched with a confused look on his face, how could he not stand up for his good brother.


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyes became more obscure at Yuan Chenyu¡¯s words. Frowning, he whispered, ¡°I don¡¯t want to owe him even more.¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Yuan Chenyu blinked, obviously not understanding his meaning.


    ¡°Okay, Chenyu, go to eat first, you don¡¯t have to wait for me.¡± Qiu Zhenyang dragged Ling Mu to a corner. Staring blankly at their backs, in the end, Yuan Chenyu could only roll his eyes and go to eat by himself.


    ¡°Don¡¯t pick me up, let go!¡± Ling Mu didn¡¯t like physical contact with others, and his face was quite ugly.


    However, Qiu Zhenyang obviously didn¡¯t listen. This guy has an awkward personality, but when faced with his thick skin, nothing¡¯s impossible.


    After walking them to the corner, Qiu Zhenyang released his arm. Seeing Ling Mu touching his wrist with a displeased expression, he raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°Who was that omega just now?¡±


    Ling Mu glanced at him, but didn¡¯t speak.


    ¡°Well, if you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll kiss you right here.¡± Qiu Zhenyang crossed his arms lazily over his chest, acting cheeky to the end. Anyway, he isn¡¯t someone who cares very much about the opinions of the outside world. So what if he kisses his omega?


    ¡°Why are you so shameless!¡± Ling Mu was shocked, and his chestnut pupils enlarged in fright.


    This is the first time he has seen such a shameless person!


    The shameless Qiu Zhenyang even dared laugh, curling his mouth, and hinted, ¡°Quick, speak or kiss, choose one.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Ling Mu gritted his teeth for a while, and finally gave up, very unwillingly saying, ¡°Lin Nuo, the young master of the Lin family.¡±


    It turned out to be him.


    Although the original body went to the Lin family to break off the marriage contact, he only met Lin Zhiyuan, and did not meet Lin Nuo, so he had no impression.


    With a clear understanding in his heart, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t ask any more questions. He turned to look at Ling Mu¡¯s bruised wrist that was pinched by the alpha just now. ¡°Eat with me first, and then come to my room for medicine after eating.¡±


    ¡°Can you leave my business alone?¡± Ling Mu roared at Qiu Zhenyang, and stepped back. ¡°I will return the favor of those crystal cores to you. I don¡¯t want to owe you more, so can you stay away from me?¡±


    His obvious behavior of escaping gave Qiu Zhenyang mixed feelings.


    It was just some small help, but it was a lot of pressure in Ling Mu¡¯s heart.


    Taking a deep breath, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes became firm, and the corners of his mouth burst into a splendid and warm smile. ¡°But I want to. Ling Mu, listen, I want to take care of your matters. Sooner or later, I will also make you used to accepting everything I do to you.¡±


    Things had deviated from that temporary mark, and Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t bother caring any more.1Caring about the plot*


    In the inconspicuous corner of the huge cafeteria, Ling Mu looked at the alpha in front of him with mixed emotions, and his heartbeat gradually amplified in his ears.


    Fiercely gnashing his teeth, Ling Mu clenched his fists, turned around, and fled after dropping the words, ¡°you¡¯re crazy.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled lightly at his fleeing back, and then turned around to pick up food again. Because he didn¡¯t know Ling Mu¡¯s taste, and couldn¡¯t understand the dishes here, he simply ordered something recommended by the robot. Dividing it into two, he carried them back to his room first.2QZY ordered 2 servings, which came as one, and then was redivided


    He opened his backpack and found a bottle of ointment inside. This ointment was given to him by his grandmother before he came to test. It is the highest S-grade quality medicine, and is good for healing outer wounds.


    Holding the ointment and two meals, Qiu Zhenyang went directly to the omega area to find someone.


    ¡°My god, is that an alpha? What is he doing in the omega area?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s here to find someone. See, he has two meals in his hand.¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, isn¡¯t that Qiu Zhenyang from the first high school in the capital? My god, is he here to find the omega he¡¯s been chasing for a long time?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who appeared in the omega¡¯s rooming area, was surrounded by people as he walked. Ignoring those omegas, he went straight to the teacher in charge of this area, registered his identity information, and inquired about Ling Mu¡¯s room.


    After all, the security was poorer, and the teachers paid attention to these aspects. They not only checked Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s identity, but also personally followed him to the outside of Ling Mu¡¯s room.


    Qiu Zhenyang coughed lightly under the gaze of the teacher, and raised his hand to knock on the door. ¡°Ling Mu, are you there? I¡¯m Qiu Zhenyang.¡±


    There was a crisp cracking sound from the room, as if a cup fell to the ground .


    The there was no sound again.


    The teacher beside him gave Qiu Zhenyang a sideways glance, with obvious doubts in his eyes.


    Two black lines hung on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s forehead. He quickly raised his hand to knock on the door again. ¡°Ling Mu, I¡¯ve brought you medicine. Please open the door quickly, and don¡¯t bother the teacher any longer.¡±


    This time, there was a response in the room ¨C a rather clear ¡°go away¡±.


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡±


    Teacher: ¡°¡­¡±


    The teacher looked at Qiu Zhenyang with narrowed eyes, as if studying him.


    ¡°Cough, Ling Mu, I know you¡¯re still mad at me.¡± Qiu Zhenyang continued knocking on the door without changing his face, completely ignoring the teacher¡¯s gaze. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault for biting so hard when marking you. You were so tempting, I couldn¡¯t help it. It¡¯s human nature after all.¡±


    Hearing this, the teacher¡¯s eyes widened into round balls, revealing bloodshot eyes.


    ¡°F*ck!¡±


    The door slammed open, Qiu Zhenyang was pulled in by his collar, and the door closed again with a ¡°bang¡± before his feet could stand firm.


    Teacher: ¡°¡­¡±


    He stared at the door panel for a while, then turned and left silently.


    After dragging the person in, Ling Mu frowned and looked at Qiu Zhenyang with an enraged expression: ¡°Do you still want face?!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang put the bag in his hand on the table beside him, and took the lunch box with a natural expression. He then said, ¡°What¡¯s there to hide? Anyway, many people saw us in the cafeteria.¡±


    Watching his movement, Ling Mu¡¯s eyes passed over the two hot meals. Affording these dishes would require him working 2 days. He and Qiu Zhenyang, no matter what it was, are very discordant, like two parallel lines that cannot intersect.3Nerdy math fact, 2 parallel lines can intersect in non-Euclidian geometry. See basketball example


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, what¡¯s your purpose?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s voice was hoarse.


    Ling Mu couldn¡¯t think of any reason for Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s actions. Could he be toying with him for revenge?


    After setting the meals down, Qiu Zhenyang sighed slightly. He reached out and tried to pull Ling Mu over to eat, but was avoided by the other party.


    ¡°I already said so, I will be responsible.¡± Qiu Zhenyang stared down at his face. ¡°You have my mark and my smell on your body, how can I possibly let you go?¡±


    He really can¡¯t let Ling Mu go. It wasn¡¯t only because he missed the character in the original text,4As in, he pitied/liked Ling Mu¡¯s character in the novel but also because Ling Mu¡¯s appearance and personality were very much in line with his own heart.


    Qiu Zhenyang wanted to give him a hand, and was unwilling to see the day he truly became desperate.


    Ling Mu felt that Qiu Zhenyang was acting unreasonable. ¡°What are you talking about. It¡¯s just a temporary mark, and will disappear soon.¡±


    Alphas still care about a temporary mark? Don¡¯t say a temporary mark, even if it¡¯s a full mark, there are many alphas who will abandon their omegas to find a new love. Most of those alphas have strong and powerful backgrounds, and they will not take a mere temporary mark to heart at all.


    Besides, Qiu Zhenyang hated him so much in the past, and no longer had a marriage contract.


    Being looked at by Ling Mu with such distrustful eyes, Qiu Zhenyang touched his nose with a guilty conscience.


    Those are all ¡®good¡¯ things the original body did. He¡¯s innocent, okay?


    ¡°I know you don¡¯t believe me, then¡­ what if I want to make friends with you? I¡¯m sorry about those previous things, but apart from the marriage contract, you are the son of Adjutant Ling. Adjutant Ling is my father¡¯s savior, and you and I should have been friends to start.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang knew Ling Mu¡¯s psychology well. Years of living badly made him unwilling to trust others, and resist those unreasonable or suspicious offers.


    But fortunately, a lot of things haven¡¯t happened yet. Seeing the hesitation flash in his eyes, Qiu Zhenyang knew that he hasn¡¯t given up on human nature yet.


    There¡¯s still a chance.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to be friends with you.¡± Irritated, Ling Mu¡¯s brows were so tightly knit that a fly could be caught.


    Smiling, Qiu Zhenyang looked at him and nodded. ¡°Okay, you still have time to consider whether it¡¯s worth being friends with me. But the food has already been delivered, so just give me face, how about having a meal together?¡±


    QZY: Knock, knock.


    LM: ¡­


    QZY: Knock, knock. I have food and meds.


    LM: F*ck off!


    QZY: Knock, knock. About the mark¡­


    LM: F*ck you!

 CH 8

    Ling Mu didn¡¯t know why he agreed to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s request to have a meal together. By the time he reacted, his hands were already stuffed with a pair of chopsticks.


    ¡°These dishes look pretty good.¡± After Qiu Zhenyang opened the lunch box, looking at the food in this world with great interest.


    These meals are very different from the ones in his original world. Most of them are things he has never seen before. Some dishes are blue when fried, and some are pink. The meat doesn¡¯t look very different though.


    Qiu Zhenyang was thinking that since everyone eats like this, the unique appearance is acceptable, and the taste should be good, so he sandwiched a piece of pink vegetable.


    Putting the vegetables in his mouth and chewing it twice, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face suddenly changed. He directly spat the dish in his mouth out, and it fell straight into Ling Mu¡¯s lunch box.


    Ling Mu with a blank face: ¡°¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang with a face full of embarrassment: ¡°¡­Uh, sorry, that, I didn¡¯t mean it.¡±


    After exchanging the lunch box he hadn¡¯t touched with Ling Mu¡¯s, he shyly threw the above dishes into the trash can beside the table.


    God, he has never eaten such an unpalatable thing ever!


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t dare to stretch his chopsticks again, and could only pick up rice, watching Ling Mu¡¯s eat the colorful dishes without changing his face. Fortunately, the rice still retains its original taste. After chewing for a while, the the soft, glutinous sweetness is not uncomfortable to eat.


    ¡°I say, how do you feel when you eat this dish?¡± Qiu Zhenyang asked cautiously, worried that his taste was different from the people here. Maybe it¡¯s because he transmigrated here, that even if the original body and him share the same appearance, only younger by a few years, he¡¯s still from the other side.


    Ling Mu raised his eyes, took another chopstick and put it in his mouth to chew. ¡°It¡¯s unpalatable.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was relieved. It seemed that his sense of taste was normal.


    He continued to cook rice silently, flipping through the memories in his mind, and found that the original owner always ate this kind of unpalatable and explosive food from childhood. The interstellar people seem used to these dishes. Although its unpalatable, it can fill their stomachs, and is slightly better than nutritional supplements.


    Nutritional supplements are quite popular meal replacements in the interstellar. Compared to real vegetables and meat, they are more convenient and cheaper, so many people choose to eat nutritional supplements instead of meals. However, nutritional supplements are still not as good as food, especially for young people who are growing. The satiety and satisfaction cannot match eating real food, so the cafeteria of the Interstellar Academy will provide real meals.


    In the end, Qiu Zhenyang still braved another chopstick of meat and vegetables. After he closed his eyes and ate it with difficulty, he realized that the taste of meat was much better than that of vegetables, but compared to his original world, the taste was still far worse.


    It seems that if he wants to eat a delicious meal here, he has to find time himself.


    Qiu Zhenyang absent-mindedly ate the meal, but Ling Mu was quite interested.


    Since his mother married into the Lin family, Ling Mu has not asked for any living expenses from the Lin family. Usually, he relies entirely on part-time jobs to support himself and his younger sister. In terms of diet, he can only buy cheap nutritional supplements. After being kicked out by the Lin family, with his wasteful mother, Ling Mu¡¯s life was even more embarrassing, and he almost couldn¡¯t even afford nutritional supplements. He bought a few in the cafeteria today, but they were knocked over by Lin Nuo.


    In order to save money, Ling Mu didn¡¯t buy any more. He thought he was going to be hungry today, and didn¡¯t expect Qiu Zhenyang to come over with a meal. Although Ling Mu didn¡¯t say anything, he was still grateful.


    He was just cold-tempered, not ignorant.


    ¡°By the way, I also brought the ointment here.¡± After Qiu Zhenyang saw Ling Mu consciously put away the lunch box, he smiled and took out the ointment. ¡°After you passed out at the test site, I took you to the cave, and didn¡¯t pay much attention, causing you to be scratched up. I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Worried about Ling Mu¡¯s rejection, Qiu Zhenyang made a random excuse.


    ¡°No.¡± But even so, Ling Mu was still very resistant, and frowned.


    Qiu Zhenyang sighed inwardly. Just as he was about to persuade him again, the terminal on Ling Mu¡¯s wrist suddenly rang.


    He raised his hand and saw that it was his sister¡¯s video call.


    Ling Mu glanced at Qiu Zhenyang and saw that the latter raised his hand quite obediently and made a zipper gesture on his mouth before connecting.


    ¡°Brother!¡± As soon as the video was connected, a little girl in her teens appeared on the screen in a one meter square projection. The little girl is pink, tender, and well-behaved. She has a face that resembles Ling Mu¡¯s, and looks quite excited with her twin ponytails.


    ¡°Ling Dang, is school over? Did you listen to the teacher at school?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s expression softened as soon as he spoke to his sister, his eyes containing obvious tenderness.


    Qiu Zhenyang watched silently, feeling a little itchy in his heart.


    When would he wear such an expression watching him?


    The little girl was cheerful and lively, and spoke softly. After reporting her situation to her brother these days, she asked worriedly, ¡°How was brother¡¯s test? It doesn¡¯t matter if you didn¡¯t passed. Ling Dang will accompany brother, don¡¯t be afraid~¡±


    Hearing his sister¡¯s words, Ling Mu¡¯s heart was warm, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. ¡°I¡¯ve passed, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    That smile made Qiu Zhenyang feel hot all over, and his breathing became heavier. Unable to control it for a while, the pheromones on his body actually became denser.


    The faint smell spread in the room, like the smell of a quilt that has been soaked in the sun, seeming warm, light, and gentle. Ling Mu didn¡¯t realize it at first, but when he noticed it, his eyes widened, and he looked back at Qiu Zhenyang in disbelief.


    What¡¯s up with this guy?


    Being stared at, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face became hot and he coughed awkwardly.


    ¡°Hey, brother, is there anyone else in your room?¡± Ling Dang heard the sound and looked towards Ling Mu suspiciously, but couldn¡¯t see anything from the camera.


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t stand Ling Mu¡¯s gaze, so to hide his embarrassment, he went directly to a spot the camera could see, and greeted Ling Dang with a grin. ¡°Hi little sister, my name is Qiu Zhenyang, I¡¯m your brother¡¯s friend.¡±


    Ling Mu was unable to react in time, and couldn¡¯t stop Qiu Zhenyang. He could only watch him break into his sister¡¯s sight.


    ¡°Wow, my brother actually has friends!¡± Ling Dang excitedly clapped her hands happily.


    Ling Mu¡¯s face turned black with embarrassment.


    Qiu Zhenyang laughed out loud. He couldn¡¯t help but shoot Ling Mu a teasing look, and asked Ling Dang, ¡°So happy?¡±


    Ling Dang nodded vigorously. Ignoring her brother¡¯s stinky face, she said softly: ¡°My brother has never had any friends. Ling Dang is very worried that brother will be bullied at school¡­ Big brother, if you are my brother¡¯s friend, please take care of my brother at school!¡±


    ¡°Ling Dang, what are you talking about!¡± Ling Mu was so angry with his sister that he wanted to vomit blood and pushed Qiu Zhenyang away, frowning fiercely. ¡°Why the hell do I need his care?¡±


    Being yelled at by her brother, Ling Dang pouted, pretending to be aggrieved and fell silent.


    When Ling Mu saw tears in his sister¡¯s eyes, he immediately regretted it. But he was unable to turn his face so quickly, and flushed.


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t stand it any longer. He smiled and put his arms around Ling Mu¡¯s shoulders, and winked at the camera. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, little sister, I will take good care of your brother.¡±


    He looked at the cute girl in the video, and his heart was sour. Such a well-behaved child had such a tragic end in the original book. Whenever Qiu Zhenyang recalled those plots, he couldn¡¯t help but want to send a blade to his author friend¡­


    With Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s assurance, Ling Dang finally opened her eyes and smiled. Although Ling Mu wanted to refute him, but seeing his sister¡¯s happy expression, he could only bite his lips and say nothing.


    After chatting for a while, Ling Dang reluctantly hung up.


    The room fell silent, Ling Mu rubbed his brow, feeling very complicated.


    The relationship between him and Qiu Zhenyang is really getting more and more complicated.


    Before Ling Mu could clear up his chaotic mood, Qiu Zhenyang came over with the ointment. While Ling Mu was distracted, he took off his jacket, and was about to lift his shirt.


    ¡°What are you doing!¡±


    Ling Mu, who came back to his senses, was startled like a small beast, grabbing the clothes with one hand and pushing him away with the other.


    Qiu Zhenyang grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s wrist very quickly, raised the ointment bottle, raised his eyebrows. ¡°Ling Dang asked me to take good care of you, aren¡¯t I applying medicine for you now?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want, take it back.¡± Ling Mu tried to fling his hand away and break free, but Qiu Zhenyang was too strong, and he couldn¡¯t break free at all!


    Qiu Zhenyang was also very tired of these continued refusals. He simply put down the ointment and directly hugged Ling Mu¡¯s whole body, walking a few steps and threw him on the bed. The jacket he took off was used to pin his arms firmly above his head.


    ¡°F*ck Qiu Zhenyang, you f*cking put me down!¡± Ling Mu struggled and twisted, eyes spitting fire, as he tried to break free of the humiliating posture.


    The friction between him and the bed made his shirt slip up a little, revealing his flexible waistline, attracting Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s gaze.


    ¡°I say,¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s voice was hoarse and his eyes narrowed slightly. ¡°Are you overestimating an alpha¡¯s concentration?¡±


    With just one sentence, all of Ling Mu¡¯s movements stopped. Gasping for breath with red eyes, he clenched his teeth. There was a hint of panic accompanying the anger in his room as he smelled the powerful and dangerous pheromone in the room.


    He knew that he couldn¡¯t beat Qiu Zhenyang.


    Qiu Zhenyang could see the emotion in his eyes clearly, but he was not ready to comfort him.


    Deterrence is also a good thing to a certain extent. At least after understanding the gap between them, this guy should not resist him at every turn.


    As expected, under his deterrence, Ling Mu no longer struggled.


    Qiu Zhenyang hooked the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, just thinking about how to coax Ling Mu in bit, when his his firm buttocks got kicked without warning.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s black face: ¡°¡­¡±


    Ling Mu laughed mockingly: ¡°Ha!¡±


    QZY: Mumu kicked me¡­ (¨i_¨i)

 CH 9

    Ling Mu squinted his eyes comfortably as the cool refreshing ointment relieved the pain in the bruised area. It wasn¡¯t until Qiu Zhenyang restrained the oppressive pheromone that he suddenly turned over and sat up, and hid on the other side of the bed vigilantly.


    After applying the ointment, Qiu Zhenyang was in a good mood. He put the ointment on the bedside table and said to Ling Mu, ¡°This ointment should be used in the morning and evening. After three days, the bruises will be completely eliminated. Use it well.¡±


    Ignoring Ling Mu¡¯s expression of wanting to kill him, he left the room leisurely.


    After returning to the room, Qiu Zhenyang opened the terminal in a good mood, hopped on the Interstellar Academy website, and began to look into courses to study in the new semester.


    In the original world, Qiu Zhenyang was quite a formidable scholar, and he was also very active in learning new things. Now that he has just transmigrated, although he has the memory of the original body, he wants to have his own understanding of the world.


    As he looked at the webpage, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s free hand kept rubbing his fingers.


    There was an illusion he could still feel the delicate feeling of Ling Mu¡¯s skin, warm and smooth. He could detect the faint fresh fragrance with the tip of his nose.


    After smelling, Qiu Zhenyang down below stood up.1¡°That¡± part is erect.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°¡­Are you f*cking kidding me.¡±


    What¡¯s going on in this world! Why is it so easy to stand up! Obviously he didn¡¯t think anything and only smelled it! He really isn¡¯t a pervert!


    In a fit of anger, Qiu Zhenyang closed the school¡¯s website, and opened up the search engine, looking for a detailed explanation of gender attributes.


    After rummaging through all the entries on the homepage, he silently buried his face between his palms.


    Alpha who (temporarily) mark omega, in addition to having quite strong possessiveness, their pheromone sensitivity will also increase, which can easily lead to physical excitement. Omegas will experience the same, and will also be more dependent on alpha psychologically, and can¡¯t help but want to get close.


    Qiu Zhenyang felt that this was bullsh*t ¨C Ling Mu didn¡¯t rely on him at all, okay?


    Releasing a loud cry towards the sky, Qiu Zhenyang he couldn¡¯t read anything else today, so he simply changed into pajamas and went to bed.


    Who cares about that messy stuff, it¡¯s better to sleep first.


    ¡ª¨C


    Because he went to bed early last night, Qiu Zhenyang woke up early. When he went to the gym for a run, there was no one in the room. It was a good opportunity to get proficient with the technology of this era.


    Following the original owner¡¯s memory, Qiu Zhenyang walked into the fitness room and looked at the dozens of cubicles inside. He chose the one with the ¡°running¡± label, and swiped his terminal on the detector at the door, opening the door, and went in.


    The compartment inside is much larger than it looks from the outside, with thousands of semi-enclosed treadmills inside.


    The scene here is virtual, imitating the background of the runway. The screen of the treadmill can also be adjusted based on personal preferences, and the feel of the tracks can be converted to suit one¡¯s needs. After starting the treadmill, he began exercising.


    After running for an hour, Qiu Zhenyang wiped his sweat and got off the treadmill. Other students were also coming to exercise by now, so he went straight back to his room to take a shower.


    The speed of the starship is very fast, and it only takes a day to reach Capital Star from the test planet.


    After Qiu Zhenyang had lunch, a notification from the college arrived, asking everyone to pack up and prepare for the landing in an hour.


    After everything was packed neatly, Qiu Zhenyang sat on the edge of the bed watching the time on the wrist terminal, and kept taking deep breaths.


    Although he has been acting very naturally since he transmigrating, his inner emotions are actually extremely complicated. No one can be without panic when suddenly encountering such a change. Qiu Zhenyang was only able to calm down because he has a strong character and no lingering worries from his original world.


    And now, it¡¯s finally time to see the original body¡¯s relatives, not through video, but direct contact. They are the people who know the original body the most, so Qiu Zhenyang worried that his performance might arouse suspicion.


    Thinking too much was useless. Seeing that the time was up, Qiu Zhenyang picked up the backpack and hung it on his shoulders. After taking long breath, he left the room.


    After waiting in line to get off the starship, Qiu Zhenyang looked at the giant playground and was silently amazed. It is worthy of being the best university in Capital Star. This space alone can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and the surrounding open-air sports facilities are also very complete. Not far away are several towering teaching buildings, and the appearance makes people feel shocked just by looking at it.


    Scanning the surrounding scenery, Qiu Zhenyang sighed silently in his heart, and the sense of reality: hit: his new life is really about to begin!


    ¡°All students have worked hard during these past 10 days. The next 5 days are for resting and to prepare for the start of the semester. The dormitory area is now open, and everyone can coordinate and choose on the website. School will officially start in 5 days.¡± When everyone got off the starship, microphones were used to pass news, and they didn¡¯t release people until everyone got off.


    In the bustling crowd, Qiu Zhenyang subconsciously looked for Ling Mu.


    But as before, it was impossible to tell which one was Ling Mu among the crowds.


    Qiu Zhenyang pursed his lips, and before he could react, he saw several men in black wearing sunglasses coming towards him.


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡±


    Although the world has changed, the equipment of the bodyguards is still the same. Is it because it¡¯s cool and convenient to show off2×°b = self-satisfaction or even deceitful behavior of showing off for vanity, showing to others the temperament that one lacks and does not possess.?


    As he pondered this, the four bodyguards had already walked in front of Qiu Zhenyang. Their cold expressions and strong aura directly separated a small circle around him, and the classmates next to him all looked at him in surprise.


    ¡°Young master, Madam is waiting for you on the aircraft.¡± Bodyguard No. 1 said expressionlessly.


    Sure enough, even though he mentioned this to his mother, she obviously didn¡¯t listen, and insisted on picking him up in such a high-profile manner.


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help but want to hold his forehead. Seeing the strange eyes of the students around him, he waved his hands and lowered his voice to shout, ¡°I know, I know! Hurry up!¡±


    He quickly pushed past the crowd and went outside the school gate. When he saw a luxurious and high-profile aircraft, Ling Mu, who happened to be walking to the school gate, also raised his head. He was wearing a black hat, and his eyes followed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s figure, waiting until the aircraft took off before silently retracting his gaze and left with his head lowered.


    ¡ª¨C


    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m old now. Next time, you can ask a bodyguard to pick me up. You don¡¯t waste time coming here.¡± Qiu Zhenyang first hugged his enthusiastic mother after getting on the aircraft, and then sat down with her to discuss things.


    ¡°How can it be a waste of time to pick you up. Family is the most important thing!¡± Zhu Qin raised her hand and rubbed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s head, messing up his smooth black hair, and then carefully looking over him.


    ¡°Yangyang, I heard that the place where you tested is completely in the wild. You have not been able to eat or sleep well in the past ten days, and have to fight against alien beasts. You must be exhausted! Ah, you even said you didn¡¯t lose weight. I can¡¯t see it in the video, but I still think you¡¯re much thinner¡­¡± Zhu Qin was distressed as she studied her son. Her face was wrinkled, and tears began coming out of her eyes.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s head hurt, and he quickly said: ¡°I¡¯m not skinny, Mom. I exercised and gained muscles. I¡¯ve lost weight, but I¡¯m not light!¡±


    His mother didn¡¯t believe him, so he pressed her hand to his arm, letting her feel the hard muscles.


    The delicate fingers pinched for a long time, and then Zhu Qin looked at Qiu Zhenyang with suspicion. After thinking about it, she clicked on the terminal to find the chef¡¯s number. ¡°No, I have to quickly tell the chef to make more dishes tonight¡­ Oh, by the way, hearing that you¡¯re coming back, your father and brother both asked for leave, and will come back as soon as possible. After you go back, take a good rest, and I will call you when they arrive home.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang choked. A family gathering as soon as he came back really tested his psychological endurance.


    But no matter what, they still have to meet in the end. Coupled with the memory of the original body, Qiu Zhenyang felt that he should be fine.


    Seeing his mother call the cook at home, Qiu Zhenyang took the opportunity to look inside the aircraft. He was in a rush when he entered and didn¡¯t look carefully. On the outside it looked like a sphere, but now that he was inside¡­


    The technology in this world is really much more advanced than his original world. The aircraft is enough to accommodate dozens of people. There is even a small living room, with tables and chairs, bright and comfortable, a soft dark sofa, and a melon and fruit on a smaller table.


    Qiu Zhenyang picked up a red palm-sized fruit, and put it in his mouth. It tasted similar to a cherry, and it wasn¡¯t bad.


    While eating fruit, Qiu Zhenyang looked out the window of the aircraft. The speed is not very fast, but because it is flying in the sky, it is still much faster than those cars on the road below. The buildings themselves outside are actually similar to his original world. It seems like apart from advanced technology, many things in this interstellar world are still the same.


    They soon arrived.


    The Qiu family lives in a villa area in the city center, with excellent public security measures and strong privacy.


    The Qiu family¡¯s house is absurdly large, almost the largest villa in the entire community. There were more than a dozen servants and bodyguards retired from the military, all of whom were credible people personally selected by Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s grandfather.


    As soon as they got off the aircraft, the butler brought three servants to greet them.


    ¡°Madam, young master.¡±


    The housekeeper stepped forward to take the backpack from Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s shoulder, but Qiu Zhenyang waved his hand. ¡°No need Uncle Zhang, I can take it up.¡± He was not used to being served like this, and some things are more comfortable to do himself.


    After that, Qiu Zhenyang greeted his mother again, and went upstairs to his room.


    ¡°Tsk, rich people are really good, this room is really big!¡± After entering the bedroom, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help sigh. The bedroom is very large, and there are different small rooms inside, including a study, bathroom, and dressing room.


    Throwing the backpack casually on the sofa, Qiu Zhenyang threw himself on the soft and spacious bed. After staring at the ceiling for a while, he turned over, and opened the terminal to check out the latest news.


    As a newcomer, the more knowledge the better. This way, he can integrate into the world faster.


    Not a lot this chapter. ??

 CH 10

    Qiu Zhenyang spent more than three hours browsing the web in his room. His eyes were sore by the time he finally heard the sound of an aircraft landing outside the window.


    Closing the terminal, he looked down through the window, and sure enough, Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin had returned.


    Qiu Zhenyang adjusted his appearance in front of the full-length mirror, then opened the door and went downstairs.


    ¡°Hmph, you still have to get stuck in traffic on the way back for dinner, and can¡¯t come back earlier?¡± Zhu Qin, who had been impatiently waiting, folded her arms and unhappily stared at her husband who just entered the door.


    Admiral Qiu, who was dignified and self-disciplined in front of outsiders, was choked for a moment and said helplessly: ¡°Wife, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know about the military. It¡¯s already good that we can ask for leave and come back.¡±


    Qiu Haolin also nodded. Seeing Qiu Zhenyang come downstairs, he immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile, ¡°How is it, did you pass the test?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang felt very close to this brother who was five years older than him, and raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°Naturally. I can¡¯t shame our my family.¡±


    ¡°Nice job.¡± Qiu Haolin was also a lieutenant general outside, but he was very affectionate towards this younger brother, and punched him with a smile.


    ¡°Before leaving, dad even said that if I don¡¯t enter the top three, I won¡¯t be allowed to come back. How dare I relax.¡± As he said that, Qiu Zhenyang pouted at his father.


    Qiu Zhang snorted, puffed out his chest, and said with vigor, ¡°Being Qiu Zhang¡¯s son, you have to be in the top three! Looking at you like this, is it possible that you took first place?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang immediately waved his hand. ¡°Almost, I took second place. I¡¯ll take the first one for you when there is another test next time.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll remember it.¡±


    Seeing that the three of them chatting happily, Zhu Qin was happy and pushed them to the dining room muttering; ¡°Hurry up, hurry up. Hurry up to eat, don¡¯t you see that Yangyang has lost a lot of weight. Let him eat more and grow some meat.¡±


    The family of four smiled and sat down, each taking a side on the square table, and began to eat dinner.


    Although the meal was still unpalatable, Qiu Zhenyang felt warm in his heart when he felt the atmosphere of his relatives.


    Before he crossed over, he was just a loner, and he had long been used to loneliness. But he obtained something that he never dared dream about before. To be honest, Qiu Zhenyang is actually very grateful for this transmigration.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Yangyang, school will start in five days, right? Interstellar Academy stipulates that living on campus is required, and we have to arrange everything you need for accommodation in these days.¡± Zhu Qin remembered Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s school while eating.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Qiu Zhenyang agreed casually.


    Interstellar Academy actually has a semi-military management style, and is relatively strict about time regulations. In order to avoid unnecessary waste of time, students also face constraints on what is allowed, and all students must live on campus, no matter family background. Students who don¡¯t follow the rules will be kicked out directly.


    Where he lives doesn¡¯t matter to Qiu Zhenyang. He also used to live on campus back when he was studying in his previous life.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Yangyang just came back. Let him rest for a day, and go the day after tomorrow. Remember to bring more bodyguards.¡± Qiu Zhang drank a little wine and thought about it carefully. After all, they have a special status, and have to be careful when walking outside.


    ¡°I know, how many times have I taken Yangyang out since he was a child? When was it not peaceful?¡± Zhu Qin frowned impatiently.


    Qiu Haolin looked at his mother¡¯s petulant appearance, and then at Qiu Zhenyang, and both brothers exchanged silent smiles.


    After a warm dinner, Qiu Zhenyang chatted with his parents and brother in the living room for a while. Seeing that it was almost ten o¡¯clock, they went back to their rooms to rest.


    After taking a bath, Qiu Zhenyang lay relaxed on the big soft bed, looking at the ceiling above his head. He felt at ease both physically and mentally.


    The original owner was born in a very good family, with the love of his parents and elder brother, and his life is really happy.


    Thinking of this, Qiu Zhenyang closed his eyes contentedly and went to sleep.


    The next morning, Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin went to the military headquarters early. The two of them are in high positions and usually stay at their posts. Although things are quite peaceful and stable, being prepared for danger is also their duty.


    Qiu Zhenyang spent the whole day leisurely, drinking tea, chatting with his mother, and talking about some interesting things that happened during the test. He enjoyed the feeling of being with family.


    ¡°Yangyang, after coming back this time, you¡¯ve become a little different.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was about to get up and go upstairs after dinner, when Zhu Qin suddenly said this with a smile.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart suddenly tensed, but his face was calm, and he pretended to be surprised. ¡°Me? How can I be different? Is it possible that I have become more handsome?¡±


    Zhu Qin laughed at her son, scolded him with a smile, and then shook her head. ¡°No, it¡¯s just that you didn¡¯t open your heart so openly when you talked to your mother before. Or maybe it was because of your adolescence that you always seemed impatient.¡±


    This is probably due to the difference between Qiu Zhenyang and the original body.


    After all, family affection was something Qiu Zhenyang craved and couldn¡¯t get before, but now that he finally felt the warmth, he couldn¡¯t hide the joy in his heart.


    But after hearing his mother¡¯s words, Qiu Zhenyang felt relieved.


    ¡°Then I guess I¡¯ve passed my adolescence now. Anyway, when I¡¯m with mom, I¡¯m really happy.¡± Qiu Zhenyang grinned and showed his white teeth. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll go back to the room first to rest.¡±


    ¡°Go, go~¡± Zhu Qin looked at her son¡¯s back with eyes full of love.


    When he went out the next day, Zhu Qin really brought several bodyguards as Qiu Zhang insisted, making Qiu Zhenyang a little uncomfortable.


    But he didn¡¯t refuse. If he went out by himself, it would be fine. But since his mother went with him, it was better to be more careful.


    The group strolled around for a long time, bought a lot of daily necessities, and even a new set of furniture, for the merchant to deliver to the school dormitory first. As for the dormitory, Zhu Qin had already arranged it.


    Rich people generally rarely have difficulty in choosing, so their shopping trip was very fast, and ended by 3 o¡¯clock in the afternoon.


    Zhu Qin took Qiu Zhenyang to the academy to see the dormitory, asked the bodyguards to tidy up the furniture and other things, and then took Qiu Zhenyang to go home.


    However, when the aircraft passed by the school gate, Qiu Zhenyang saw Ling Mu¡¯s figure, and immediately told the driver to stop the aircraft.


    ¡°Mom, I just saw a classmate. I¡¯ll go down and say hello. You go home first, I¡¯ll go back by myself later.¡±


    ¡°Then pay attention, and be careful. I¡¯ll let A¡¯kui1bodyguard wait for you at the gate.¡± Zhu Qin warned. After seeing Qiu Zhenyang enter the campus, she asked the driver to drive back.


    Following Ling Mu all the way to the principal¡¯s office, Qiu Zhenyang hid by the open ventilated window, quietly listening to the conversation inside.


    ¡°¡­Ling Mu, we told the other omega students about your situation, but no one wants to live in the same room with you.¡± The principal sounded a little helpless. ¡°The school does not allow you, an omega, to stay in a beta room, so you can only find another way.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang leaned against the door, raised his head slightly with his hands in his pockets, and listened silently.


    ¡°Principal, what if I take two beds for myself?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s voice was still as cold as ever, even in the face of the principal.


    The headmaster¡¯s voice was even more helpless. ¡°Two beds is a single room, which costs 20,000 a semester. Do you have enough savings?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s brows were tightly knitted. He really couldn¡¯t come up with that money, let alone enough for one person¡¯s bed.


    There is not much money left from his part-time work. Not only does he have to pay for his own tuition, but also for his sister¡¯s tuition, so there is not much left at all.


    ¡°Ling Mu, the school has verified the situation at your home and confirmed that your mother¡¯s condition is not suitable for taking care of the children, and there are no other relatives who can help you. Although the school understands the matter of taking your sister to live with you, and is willing to make an exception, there is no way to help you with the dorm fees.¡± The principal also sounded troubled.


    After hearing so much, Qiu Zhenyang sorted out the problem Ling Mu was facing.


    After the divorce, Ling Mu, his mother and sister were kicked out of the Lin family and lived outside. The three of them lived on the money that Ling Mu earned by working. But now Ling Mu was admitted to the Interstellar Academy and needed accommodation. He was worried about leaving his sister alone outside, for fear his mother would drink and do something, so he probably applied to the school and wanted to bring his sister to live with him.


    It¡¯s just that the school allowed him to live with her sister, but another problem arose.


    Qiu Zhenyang folded his arms around his chest and took a deep breath.


    The voice of Ling Mu sounded again: ¡°Principal, is there no other way?¡±


    ¡°In your current situation, omegas are unwilling to live with you; after all, your sister is a beta. You can¡¯t afford the cost of a separate room, and I don¡¯t have any other options.¡±


    ¡°Can I pay for one bed first? Can I owe the remaining one bed on credit for two months? After two months, I will pay it off.¡± Embarrassed, Ling Mu tightly clenched his hands. He knew that his request was unreasonable, but he really had no other way.


    The principal sighed a long time. He really wanted to agree, but the school didn¡¯t allow it!


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, the school regulations can¡¯t be broken.¡± He finally shook his head.


    There are so many students across the galaxy who want to come to this school. The rules and regulations must be strictly followed, because their every move is under the attention of the people of the entire Interstellar.


    Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s eyes dim, the principal¡¯s heart didn¡¯t feel well.


    He thought about lending Ling Mu some money himself. Anyway, as long as no one knew about it, there would be no problem. It was really difficult to see this child¡­


    Just when the principal was about to stop talking, there was a knock on the door.


    ¡°Principal,¡± Qiu Zhenyang appeared at the door with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Meeting Ling Mu¡¯s eyes, his smile became even wider, ¡°I have a suggestion. Let classmate Ling Mu and his sister come stay with me.¡±


    QZY: Mumu, Mumu, are you happy too see me?

 CH 11

    ¡°With you? You¡¯re an alpha! What are you thinking!¡± The principal still remembered the second place student in this test, and because of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s prominent background, he slapped the table in a fury. ¡°Alphas can¡¯t be in the same room as omegas. Who knows if you have ulterior motives!¡±


    Being stared at by the headmaster¡¯s angry eyes, Qiu Zhenyang touched his nose in embarrassment, then came in facing Ling Mu¡¯s surprised eyes and stood beside him.


    He didn¡¯t explain it directly, but looked sideways at the back of Ling Mu¡¯s neck. Seeing the pheromone sticker, he tore it off.


    Immediately, the undissipated pheromone belonging to Qiu Zhenyang rushed out, lingering around Ling Mu.


    ¡°F*ck, what are you doing surnamed Qiu!¡± Ling Mu hurriedly raised his hand to cover the back of his neck, but it was too late. The principal had smelled the pheromone belonging to an alpha, just like ¡ªthe pheromones Qiu Zhenyang had just deliberately released.


    Principal: ¡°¡­¡± The children these days are really amazing. Didn¡¯t they just come of age?


    Being glared at by Ling Mu, Qiu Zhenyang acted naturally, and shook the pheromone sticker in his hand at the principal. ¡°He¡¯s my omega, I remember it said in the school rules that couples can apply for a partnership agreement. After all, special circumstances such as the susceptible period or estrus need to be taken into account.¡±


    This is indeed such a rule¡­ But asking to live together right after entering the school is really rare!


    The principal looked at Ling Mu with a complicated look, his tongue was almost knotted. ¡°Well, what do you think about this, Ling Mu?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t.¡± Ling Mu immediately refused, with a firm attitude that reminded Qiu Zhenyang of a beast.


    Qiu Zhenyang glared. This guy is so simple, and didn¡¯t even think about it? He¡¯s helping him!


    ¡°Headmaster, please wait a moment.¡± The corners of his mouth twitched as he smiled dryly, and grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s slender wrist and ran out of the principal¡¯s room, stopping at the end of the corridor outside.


    ¡°What are you doing, surnamed Qiu?¡± Ling Mu struggled all the way, but Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand didn¡¯t release at all. Now that he stopped, the other party finally loosened his grip and allowed him to break free.


    Qiu Zhenyang spread his hands innocently in the face of Ling Mu¡¯s stare. ¡°Didn¡¯t I just want to have a good talk with you?¡±


    ¡°We have nothing to talk about. If you want to talk about the crystal core, please wait a while. I¡¯ll pay you back.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was helpless. Ling Mu is covered in thorns, and even simple communicating is difficult.


    ¡°What are you complaining about at this time? You know very well the situation. The school won¡¯t make a special exception for you. Besides living with me, do you have any other options?¡±


    ¡°None of your business!¡±


    Annoyed, Qiu Zhenyang stepped forward and grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s hand. He leaned in and lowered his voice close to Ling Mu¡¯s ear and said, ¡°Do you want me to be more clear? You now have my pheromone on your body and my mark on your neck¡­ Ling Mu, do you think an alpha would allow his omega to live with other people?¡±


    The sudden closeness slammed into Ling Mu¡¯s body violently. Shrinking, his back directly hit the wall behind him, and even his head was knocked hard.


    He gasped in pain and didn¡¯t forget to give Qiu Zhenyang a few glares.


    ¡°I don¡¯t f*cking have anything to do with you!¡±


    ¡°Why not? Do you want me to give you another mark?¡±


    Having said that, Qiu Zhenyang bared his teeth viciously. At this moment, his two sharp tiger teeth, seemed to carry a cold light.


    Like a fierce beast, showing a strong and terrifying ** in the face of its prey.1** used in the raws. Y¡¯all can fill it in yourselves.


    Ling Mu¡¯s face turned white, clearly frightened by Qiu Zhenyang, and then reddened uncontrollably.


    This guy actually released pheromones at him! Shameless! His own body is also shameless! His legs are soft!


    No matter how much he shouted and roared in the depths of his heart, Ling Mu was speechless. The powerful pheromone belonging to Qiu Zhenyang attacked his reason, and all that was left was desire for that warm and fiery taste.


    ¡°Think about it.¡± Qiu Zhenyang softened his voice when he saw that he had finally calmed down. ¡°I¡¯m just making a suggestion, and if you had other options, it wouldn¡¯t be my turn to suggest something. I promise you that during our cohabitation, I will never touch you if you don¡¯t want. We¡¯ll just be ordinary roommates.¡±


    Actually, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t want to release pheromones at Ling Mu so frequently, but this kid is too bad-tempered! If it wasn¡¯t for this deterrence, the two would not be able to communicate normally.


    Ling Mu lowered his eyes. In Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s point of view, he could only see his smooth forehead, thick eyebrows, and the shallow scar that crossed the brow bone. Ling Mu¡¯s eyelashes are very long and thick, but this wasn¡¯t obvious when looking from the front since they didn¡¯t curl up.


    Qiu Zhenyang suddenly wanted to kiss him, and wanted to give all the love and care in his heart to him, to let him know that he did all this out of kindness and¡­ a feeling that he didn¡¯t even notice.


    After a long time, Ling Mu finally said sullenly: ¡°You are sick.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡± Well, he is indeed sick, otherwise why would he think Ling Mu who is cursing with his head down is cute?


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his left eyebrow lightly, and shrugged noncommittally. Raising a hand to lift Ling Mu¡¯s chin, he smiled slightly frivolously and said, ¡°You can think whatever you want of me, as long as you¡¯re happy. But don¡¯t resist so much about cohabitation, okay?¡±


    That confident expression seemed to be sure that Ling Mu would not refuse.


    His originally prepared rejection fell apart in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words. Ling Mu was helpless, he had to admit that what Qiu Zhenyang said was the truth. After all, other than living with him, Ling Mu didn¡¯t have any other choice.


    And when it comes to character, Qiu Zhenyang was born in a military family after all, and he is also prideful, so he really won¡¯t take advantage of him, an ugly and tough omega. Given his appearance and family background, there are a lot of beautiful omegas willing to jump on him at the wave of his hand.


    Ling Mu raised his eyes slightly and met Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes.


    He still looks like he doesn¡¯t care about anything, as if nothing can affect him. The first place in the entrance test, he dismissed it lightly. Lin Nuo and others taunted him, but he completely blocked it. Even the matter of living on campus, he didn¡¯t know where he came out from and even shouted he wanted to solve it himself¡­


    Ling Mu really doesn¡¯t understand him.


    He took a deep breath, knocked off Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand, and went to the principal¡¯s office without saying a word.


    Qiu Zhenyang no longer stopped him, and quietly followed behind.


    Seeing the two return, the principal¡¯s mouth twitched as he asked, ¡°What is the relationship between the two of you? Are you still living together?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at Ling Mu expectantly and winked at him.


    Ling Mu gritted his teeth, and his cheeks tensed.


    ¡°I¡­ will live with him.¡±


    His voice was like a mosquito, but both of them heard it.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised a big smile and winked proudly at the principal.


    Principal: ¡°¡­¡± This stinky boy! What are you so proud of!


    Now that all parties involved have confirmed the situation, the principal didn¡¯t say anything else, and recorded the accommodation information of Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu. Zhu Qin already confirmed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s earlier, and now he only needs to add Ling Mu into it. More than half of the students have confirmed their living situations, been assigned dormitories, and the rest will be completed before the start of the semester.


    When he came out of the principal¡¯s office, Ling Mu was still a little dazed.


    ¡°What, do you regret it? It¡¯s too late to regret it now.¡± Qiu Zhenyang said slyly when he saw him standing still on the steps.


    Ling Mu immediately rolled his eyes, with an urge to punch him.


    Taking a deep breath, thinking about how he helped him just now, Ling Mu still awkwardly thanked him: ¡°Thank you for what happened just now. I will pay you the rent according to the school¡¯s rates, but it will take an extra 2 months before I can give my sister¡¯s share to you.¡±


    Although living with Qiu Zhenyang meant that there were only two beds, one for each person, and he only had to pay for one bed, Ling Mu still insisted on paying for two.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at him for a while. His eyes swept over the thin and red earlobes in a good mood.


    ¡°Sure.¡± No matter what Ling Mu said, Qiu Zhenyang would agree. He is not short of money, and if this money can make Ling Mu feel more at ease, that¡¯s fine.


    The two of them wandered on campus lost in their own thoughts. The Interstellar Academy is huge, dozens of times bigger than the university that Qiu Zhenyang attended before transmigrating over. The campus has beautiful scenery and green plants everywhere, and there are multi-person seats every ten meters on both sides of the road, which is very convenient.


    School hasn¡¯t formally started, but some students like Qiu Zhenyang will bring their luggage first, and bustled about.


    ¡°Would you like to go get the keys with me first, and take a look at the dormitory, so that you don¡¯t have to look around for it when you move in later?¡± Qiu Zhenyang turned to look at Ling Mu. The guy¡¯s face looked much better after walking for a while, but when faced with this question, his originally expressionless face turned sluggish.


    Such a stupefied appearance is rare. Qiu Zhenyang looked at him with great interest, and Ling Mu¡¯s face was reflected in those eyes as black as an abyss.


    ¡°Ah, okay.¡± Ling Mu was in a trance for a moment, then agreed, pursing his lips and avoiding Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes.


    As such, Qiu Zhenyang took someone to register at the dormitory management office, got the keys, and then took him to the dorm.


    Ling Mu originally thought that the dormitory Qiu Zhenyang was talking about was an ordinary dormitory, but Qiu Zhenyang led him to the eastern area. Before coming to the school to discuss with the principal, Ling Mu had paid attention to the situation to the dorms, and knew that the Interstellar Academy not only has a common dormitory area, but also another dormitory area for students who are rich or have good backgrounds. The cost is ten times that of a normal dormitory area!


    Thinking of this, Ling Mu¡¯s footsteps stopped.


    Qiu Zhenyang took a few more steps. When he saw that no one was following, he turned his head in confusion.


    Ling Mu¡¯s expression was a bit terrifying. His frown gave the impression that he was about to fight in the next second.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Qiu Zhenyang adjusted well, and didn¡¯t even find his expression scary at all.


    ¡°You live in the east district?¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was confused.


    Seeing his ignorant look, Ling Mu was speechless. ¡°You¡­ do you know how much accommodation costs in the east district?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t say anything. He really didn¡¯t know¡­ but combined with Ling Mu¡¯s hesitant words and his previous experience in the dorms, Qiu Zhenyang gussed that his single-family dormitory must cost a lot.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, but it doesn¡¯t matter. Anyway, if you don¡¯t live, I¡¯ll still live here. I don¡¯t like living with others.¡± Qiu Zhenyang tried his best to act indifferent and not put pressure on Ling Mu.


    But his words made Ling Mu even more confused.


    ¡°Then why do you still want to live with me?¡± After all, he still has to bring his sister there. If Qiu Zhenyang doesn¡¯t want to live with others, he shouldn¡¯t offer to live with him.


    ¡°Why do you think?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t answer directly, but looked directly into Ling Mu¡¯s eyes and threw a rhetorical question.


    At this moment, they have turned from the avenue of the dormitory area to the boulevard leading to the east. The hot summer wind, which was a little gentle and cool after combing through the trees, caused the leaves to rustle.


    Not hearing a reply for a long time, Qiu Zhenyang smiled, and winked mischievously. ¡°Because you are my friend. I said it before ¨C I want to be friends with you, okay?¡±


    Ling Mu lowered his head slightly. He didn¡¯t know what to say, and simply followed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s footsteps in silence.


    Question for QYZ: What if someone else offered to live with Mumu? Or if the principal had given him some money for living expenses? What would you say then?

 CH 12

    The dormitory area in east is very large, with a good distance between each small villa. The environment is much better than that of the ordinary dorms. There are even ten special security booths set up.


    Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu to the door of their dormitory, raised the terminal in his hand towards the sensor at the door, and the door opened after a beep.


    Ling Mu followed him in to see a newly cleaned house with brand new furniture. The dorm is very large, with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and utility room on the first floor, a small garden out back. The second floor has two bedrooms, a study room, and a fitness room.


    ¡°My room has been tidied up, and the room on the left was not intended for people to live in, so everything was kept as is from before. You and your sister can use it.¡± Qiu Zhenyang explained. In fact, students with eastern dorms will buy new furniture instead. After all, they don¡¯t lack money and will live here for four years.


    This is convenient for Ling Mu. Anyway, the facilities in the ordinary dormitory are shared, so he didn¡¯t care much.


    Qiu Zhenyang took him to the bedroom to have a look. Ling Mu looked around, wrote down the things that still needed to be purchased, and prepared to leave first.


    ¡°Hey Ling Mu,¡± Qiu Zhenyang saw him turn around ready to live, and shouted. Touching his nose, he said, ¡°You and your sister should move in sooner? It¡¯s better to get familiar with the campus before school starts. I¡¯m moving in tomorrow, so why don¡¯t we go for a walk around the campus together?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang felt his cheeks burn when he said these works as if asking him out.


    Ling Mu frowned: ¡°I work part-time, and will come back the day before school starts.¡±


    Part-time job?


    Qiu Zhenyang blinked. He almost forgot about it.


    ¡°Then¡­ Okay, see you later.¡± Qiu Zhenyang wanted to ask Ling Mu where he was working and find time to visit. But thinking of Ling Mu¡¯s character, he probably didn¡¯t want to talk to him, so let it go.


    Seeing Ling Mu turn around and leave without saying a word, Qiu Zhenyang sighed inwardly. It seems that he still has a long way to go to change Ling Mu¡¯s attitude towards himself.


    Since Ling Mu only came the day before the school started, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t want to move too early, so he stayed at home and went to school in the evening the day before the school started.


    ¡°Okay, mom, you can go back first, I¡¯ll go in by myself.¡± Qiu Zhenyang slung his bag on one shoulder and put his hands in his pockets, looking helplessly at his mother. In the past few days, Qiu Zhenyang lived at home with her and felt the warmth of a mother¡¯s love. However, he is already an adult, and he was a soul that transmigrated, so he will not be too reluctant when living away from home.


    But Zhu Qin had tears in her eyes. Qiu Zhenyang was different from Qiu Haolin, who had gone to the army early. He grew up under her eyes and she loved him so much. In addition, his ¡°rebellious period¡± finally ended, and he accompanied her everyday just like when he was a child. She really can¡¯t bear having to separate again now.


    Seeing that his mother about to cry, Qiu Zhenyang was helpless and distressed. Stepping forward, he hugged his mother and comforted softly: ¡°Okay, mom, I¡¯ll be home during the holidays. Call me if there¡¯s anything. I¡¯ll go in first.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t let his mother take him in, and she was also reluctant, so the two of them said goodbye at the school gate.


    The luxurious aircraft belonging to the Qiu family was parked beside them, and behind them there were several expressionless bodyguards in black and sunglasses. Many students passing by couldn¡¯t help stopping to watch.


    ¡°My god, that aircraft is ¡®Xingwu No. 1¡¯? One of only five in the whole interstellar space?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I recognize the sign of Xingwu! Who¡¯s the son of such a distinguished family? Are there people with such a strong background in our school?¡±


    ¡°The young master of the Qiu family from the first high school in the capital is in this batch of freshmen!¡±


    ¡°The Qiu family? That legion¡¯s family? Damn, there¡¯ll be a good show to watch now. With his looks, the name of the school grass1school idol, etc. will probably have to change hands! Not to mention the background of the Qiu family. Tsk tsk tsk, the omegas in our school will probably go crazy!¡±


    ¡°For sure! I even heard the young master of the Qiu family chased an omega for a year in high school. I think that omega also came here. There are so many melons, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll eat a handful as soon as the school starts¡­¡±2melons aka gossip, rumors, and other hot news


    The gossip did not spread to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s ears. He managed to comfort his mother with repeated promises that he would go back as soon as he was on vacation so that he could escape her hands, and enter the dormitory.


    Today is the last day before school starts, and more than 90% of the students have already arrived. Tomorrow morning, 8 o¡¯clock, they have to gather in the classroom.


    Qiu Zhenyang walked all the way to the dormitory with slightly upturned lips. His phoenix eyes narrowed, and his heart was excited and filled with a trace of nervousness at the same time.


    The class list came out yesterday. There are 100 classes in the whole grade. Qiu Zhenyang was placed in the Alpha Class 1 relying on his second place rank in the test. He also went to the list of 5 omega classes to find Ling Mu, he was in the Omega Class 3, right in the middle.


    Although they are not in the same class because of their attributes, their cohabitation is a certainty, and Qiu Zhenyang has no regrets.


    Thinking that they were about to start living together, the smile on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth became even bigger, and he accidentally bumped into someone.


    ¡°Sorry¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang immediately stepped back and apologized. His pheromones are very strong, and he¡¯s also very sensitive to omega pheromones. When he came back to his senses, he smelled a light fruity scent, and quickly distanced himself politely.


    ¡°Ah, I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to!¡± Li Zhen hurriedly looked at the other party¡¯s clean clothes with newly ¡°printed¡± ice cream patterns from the dessert in his hand, and his face suddenly turned red.


    Qiu Zhenyang realized the truth when he lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched.


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry!¡± Li Zhen bit his lip and apologized, and was stunned when he raised his eyes.


    The boy in front of him was tall with long legs, black hair, black pupils, and fair complexion. His face was carved with distinct facial features, and he was extremely handsome, which made people accidentally fall into a trap at a glance. His temperament is even more outstanding, calm and noble, his extraordinary upbringing can be seen at a glance.


    Li Zhen¡¯s face flushed deeper, but this time it was no longer embarrassment, but from shyness.


    Since when was there such a handsome boy at Interstellar Academy? Is he a freshman?


    ¡°That¡­ what¡¯s your name, classmate? I¡¯m really sorry, or I¡¯ll take you to the door of the dormitory. After you change clothes, bring me the dirty clothes, and I¡¯ll wash them for you as an apology.¡± Li Zhen¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t the same as before. He didn¡¯t dare glance at the alpha who was a head taller in front of him.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, it¡¯s not a big problem.¡± Qiu Zhenyang waved his hand. Anyway, with the advanced technology, washing it in the machine only takes five minutes. It also has its own drying function, so it¡¯s not troublesome.


    ¡°How can this work? It was originally my fault, you have to give me a chance to make amends!¡± Li Zhen was in a hurry, and his tone grew agitated. Seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s suspicious eyes sweep over, he quickly suppressed his rapid heartbeat, and calmly continued, ¡°Why don¡¯t you do this, classmate, please add my contact information, and I¡¯ll invite you to dinner?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang pursed his lower lip. He doesn¡¯t like trouble. It¡¯s just that his clothes are dirty, which is not a big deal.


    Seeing that Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t answer, Li Zhen was a little embarrassed. ¡°I¡­I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen you before. you should be a freshman, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Ah, I¡¯m your senior who started last term. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you don¡¯t want to eat with me¡­ can we just be friends?¡± Li Zhen¡¯s face burned badly. He has never been so active in asking an alpha for contact information since he was a child , but this boy is so handsome! Moreover, his pheromone seems to be very strong even without it being deliberately released. Li Zhen, who was nearby, felt dizzy!


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, feeling a little impatient, but he still said, ¡°Alright then, senior, my name is Qiu Zhenyang, this is my terminal code.¡±


    He opened the terminal, revealing the code, and waited for Li Zhen to scan it. After clicking on the application, he pressed approve on his terminal.


    ¡°My name is Li Zhen, I¡¯m in Class O13Omega Class 1 of the second year.¡± After Li Zhen added him, he looked at Qiu Zhenyang with a sweet smile.


    ¡°Okay, see you then.¡± Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t have the time to talk to him. He turned around and left after saying goodbye, ignoring Li Zhen¡¯s fiery shy eyes behind him.


    When he finally arrived at the door of the dormitory, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart beat a little faster. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and used the terminal to sweep the door lock against the sensor.


    ¡°Ah! Someone is coming!¡±


    After the door opened, a crisp voice sounded. Qiu Zhenyang stood stiff and stunned, and was shocked when he saw the little girl who was bundled up and thrown on the sofa in the living room.


    ¡°Hey, you¡¯re the big brother who was in the brother¡¯s video last time!¡± Ling Dang twirled excitedly on the sofa, her big eyes shining like stars.


    ¡°Ling Dang? Is it you?¡± Qiu Zhenyang quickly closed the door and entered the house after reacting, and unfastened the rope wrapped around Ling Dang¡¯s body.


    However, when he unraveled it, he realized that what was tied to Ling Dang was only a skipping rope, and the binding force was not strong at all. It was only loosely wrapped around Ling Dang¡¯s body. She could untie it by herself, and was playing by herself just now with a look of novelty on her face.


    After the skipping rope was untied, Xiao4little Ling Dang grabbed the skipping rope. She didn¡¯t want to throw it away, and pouted. ¡°Brother wants to clean up the house. He thinks I¡¯m too noisy and annoying, so he threw Ling Dang downstairs, hmph! My brother is a big villain!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was amused by her words. Touching the top of Ling Dang¡¯s soft hair, he took her small hand and led her to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and handed a fruit to her. ¡°Ling Dang is good. Eat the fruit by yourself, I¡¯ll go up and help your brother organize things.¡±


    Because the family was tight with money, it was rare for Ling Dang to eat fruit. She jumped in excitement seeing the bright red fruit in her hand, and raised her head to thank Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°Wow, thank you big brother, big brother is so good!¡±


    ¡°Good girl.¡± Qiu Zhenyang likes this little girl very much, and his expression softened a lot.


    After soothing the child, Qiu Zhenyang went upstairs. When he walked over, he saw the door of Ling Mu¡¯s room was open, and he was busy cleaning inside.


    Qiu Zhenyang walked in with a smile, and met Ling Mu¡¯s doubtful eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll help.¡±


    LZ is the ¡°omega school flower¡± from the synopsis.

 CH 13

    ¡°No need, I¡¯m done cleaning.¡±


    The room was clean and tidy. The furniture was carefully wiped, and some even had wet water stains. The bed was covered with lovely pink sheets and quilts, and at first glance it was Ling Dang¡¯s, while the floor near the bed was simply covered with a layer of cushions, with pillows and thin quilts, which should be where Ling Mu slept.


    Ling Mu finally folded the quilt on the bed, straightened up and wiped the large drops of sweat on his forehead.


    A faint floral fragrance lingered in the room.


    Qiu Zhenyang squinted, and when he entered the dormitory, he realized that Ling Mu had not turned on the air conditioner.


    It¡¯s the sweltering heat of September now, and it¡¯s already very hot without the air conditioner, let alone tidying up in the bedroom for a long time. Although the window was opened for ventilation, there was no wind outside, and it had no effect at all. Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s blushing cheeks and the sweat-soaked shirt at this moment, Qiu Zhenyang felt very uncomfortable.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you turn on the air conditioner when it¡¯s so hot?¡± Qiu Zhenyang raised his wrist and clicked the options on the terminal. The air-conditioning system of the entire dormitory started to operate, and it took less than ten seconds to make people feel cool.


    Ling Mu lifted the hem of his shirt and wiped the sweat from his forehead, revealing the clear lines of his thin and tough waist and abdomen.


    He didn¡¯t care much and said, ¡°Save electricity.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang only felt a flash in front of his eyes. Throat bobbing a few times, he opened his mouth and closed it again with difficulty. The air conditioner was turned on, but the temperature felt even hotter than before.


    Walking over and closing the window, Qiu Zhenyang looked at the road below. His voice was a little hoarse between words: ¡°No need to save this money. Ling Dang is still young, if she gets heat stroke from the heat, the losses will outweigh the gain.¡±


    Ling Mu was silent for a moment, and nodded in response.


    After all, he loves his sister dearly and is reluctant to bear her to suffer too much. As for utility bills, as long as he finds a job in the school¡¯s commercial street as soon as possible, it¡¯s not a big problem. It doesn¡¯t matter if he works hard, his sister can¡¯t always suffer.


    Seeing that Ling Mu had almost finished tidying up the room, Qiu Zhenyang asked, ¡°You guys haven¡¯t eaten dinner, have you? Bring Ling Dang out with me and let¡¯s grab dinner. I happen to have two friends, let¡¯s get to know each other together.¡±


    Friends? The friends of this young master should also be rich boys with scary backgrounds.


    Ling Mu pursed his lower lip, and his slightly frowning brows looked a little cold under the sharp facial features: ¡°No, Ling Dang and I have already eaten, thank you.¡±


    He¡¯s already eaten? After eating, the little girl was so happy to get a fruit just now? No matter how much that girl likes it, she has to have stomach space to hold it!


    Qiu Zhenyang immediately saw that Ling Mu was lying, but did not expose him. He knew that Ling Mu didn¡¯t like to deal with people, and his mother¡¯s attachment to a wealthy family made him unwilling to deal with rich people. So he didn¡¯t say more, and felt a little regret.


    But regret is regret, Qiu Zhenyang has the patience to help Ling Mu emerge from the shadow of the past little by little.


    ¡°That¡¯s alright, I¡¯ll go out first. Oh, my mom put food in the fridge. It¡¯s easy to spoil, so you and Ling Dang can help me eat some.¡± Qiu Zhenyang waved farewell, and went downstairs to say goodbye to Ling Dang before going out.


    On the tree-lined road leading to the eastern dorms, Qiu Zhenyang, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu met up, and the three walked around campus together.


    After learning of each other¡¯s situation, Qiu Zhenyang found out that the three of them were assigned to Class A1, which was a good thing. To celebrate, the three of them went to the cafeteria to book a booth, ordered a lot of dishes and chatted while eating, and didn¡¯t return to the dorms until nine o¡¯clock.


    When Qiu Zhenyang got home, Ling Mu and Ling Dang had already returned to their room to rest, so he went straight to take a bath and sleep.


    A good night¡¯s sleep, when Qiu Zhenyang went downstairs the next morning, he saw Ling Mu take two tubes of nutritional supplements and stuffed them into Ling Dang¡¯s small schoolbag.


    ¡°You only give her this for a day?¡± Qiu Zhenyang frowned. Although nutritional supplements can indeed provide nutrition for the body, children are still growing. Many adults will often take nutritional supplements, but when they are young, their parents will make some effort to provide normal meals.


    Ling Mu raised his head and glanced at Qiu Zhenyang without replying.


    Ling Dang grinned and said, ¡°We want to save money! My brother said, when he goes to the school¡¯s commercial street1think a business street or a university village with things for students to work and earn money, he will prepare food for Ling Dang!¡±


    ¡°Commercial Street?¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyebrows raised. He wandered over there when hanging out with Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang yesterday. Interstellar Academy has a large number of people and people usually only leave on holidays, so the commercial street was very well developed. The stores are very popular on weekdays, and there are indeed many students working there.


    ¡°Ling Dang we¡¯re leaving, I¡¯ll take you to the school gate.¡± Ling Mu took Ling Dang¡¯s little hand and waved it at Qiu Zhenyang as a farewell.


    Qiu Zhenyang replied ¡°Be careful on the road¡±, and waited for the door to close before going to the kitchen to take a look.


    He opened the fridge, and saw the contents inside were still the same as yesterday.


    Although this result was expected, Qiu Zhenyang still wanted to sigh. Don¡¯t know how others would feel seeing his expression. Anyway, right now, all he wants to do is give Ling Mu good things, as if this can make up for what he has suffered in the past. Let alone watching him and his sister drink nutritional supplements every day, even the living expenses have to be earned by working hard¡­


    Thinking too much is useless. After making a simple breakfast from some fruits, Qiu Zhenyang headed out.


    ¡ª¨C


    ¡°¡­Students, the students of our A1 class are the top 100 alphas who performed best in the entrance test, and will also become the key training objects of the school. In the next four years of college, I hope you can live up to expectations. Forge ahead and become useful talents for the Federation and the entire interstellar space!¡±


    The head teacher, Yu Xiaojie, was giving an impassioned speech on the podium, but Qiu Zhenyang under the stage was drowsy.


    He squinted and yawned, turned his head in boredom, and found several others bored like him. On the other hand, Cao Shuhuan, who ranked first in the test, listened very carefully. When the head teacher was particularly excited, he would applaud in response.


    Maybe it was Cao Shuhuan¡¯s support that made Yu Xiaojie happy, or maybe it was because of his dazzling first-place results. In short, after the speech was over, he was directly appointed as squad leader, and asked to lead the class to change into uniform and prepare for military training in the afternoon.


    ¡°I say, isn¡¯t the ¡®hair restorer¡¯ launched by the research institute already perfect. Why is the top of our class¡¯s teacher still as bald as a mirror?¡± Yuan Chenyu, who was beside Qiu Zhenyang, was complaining to Zhuo Hang, who was on his other side, as they slowly walked forward with the class.


    Zhuo Hang laughed at his words. ¡°Maybe even hair restoration is useless for him? Anyway, this is not bad. In case he¡¯s behind in class and we¡¯re lazing off, the reflection will remind us!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was amused by the two, but because he had something in his heart, he had no interest in getting involved in the topic.


    After thinking about it, he decided to tell them frankly: ¡°I want to find a way to make money. Do you have any suggestions?¡±


    ¡°Make money? Was your brain left at the door? Don¡¯t know how many gold mines are at home, yet you¡¯re still worried about how to make money?¡±


    Zhuo Hang shoved Qiu Zhenyang with disgust. ¡°So annoying, lunch is on you!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang thought his inexplicable behavior of sponging a meal quite shameless.


    ¡°Okay, be serious. I want to start my own business, the kind that has nothing to do with my family.¡± Qiu Zhenyang paused, scratched his temples, and added, ¡°Of course, we still need upfront funds. But after I make a profit, I won¡¯t ask my family for money again.¡±


    A wealthy family is indeed beneficial. Qiu Zhenyang just came here, and there was no other way to get the principal except for relying on his family. However, he is still young and wasn¡¯t bothered about this, and he can take money with peace of mind.


    ¡°Are you serious?¡± Zhuo Hang was the same age as Qiu Zhenyang, but saw a firmness on his face.


    ¡°En, how about you? Have you ever thought about starting your own independent business?¡± Qiu Zhenyang shot back.


    Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu looked at each other, their expressions were a little confused. As a standard second generation of the rich and distinguished, they have never had any money worries since young. They were used to being supported by their family, and neither of them ever considered Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words before.


    Let alone them, even the original body never considered it. In the original text, the forces behind the original body all came from his family, and he never thought of starting his own business.


    ¡°But¡­ we still have four years to study, and we usually live at school. How can we start a business?¡± Yuan Chenyu was a little interested, but also understood that starting a business is not that easy. Zhuo Hang also nodded.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lips twitched, and shared his conclusion from browsing Starnet a few days ago. ¡°I recently watched some of the most popular virtual games, and found the types of games are too singular. Apart from urban construction and interstellar wars, the rest aren¡¯t very interesting and quite boring.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was in contact with many games before transmigrating, and he himself was also interested in gaming, so he focused on this aspect. There aren¡¯t many games here, and the contents are a little boring and not novel enough. Even if virtual game technology has matured in the interstellar, the games aren¡¯t any better than his original world. Players can directly enter the game warehouse to experience the fun of the virtual world. Won¡¯t players be excited to death if they use the games from his original world?


    After arriving for so many days, he noticed that although technology has advanced, there is a lack of innovation on many entertainment-related things. Even food and drink are so sloppy; the simple ingredients look good, but when cooked, all taste like canned herring.


    Just because of this, Qiu Zhenyang feels that his money is bright!


    ¡°Singular? It¡¯s boring?¡± Yuan Chenyu glared. ¡°Zhenyang, do you know how much profit the most popular games can bring to a company every year? Yixing Technology relied on ¡®Spark¡¯ to develop into one of the five major consortiums in just ten years!¡±


    Zhuo Hang also echoed: ¡°I have played several games, all of which are quite good. I even lost hundreds of thousands on them.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang shrugged, noncommittal.


    If such games can become so popular, Qiu Zhenyang can guarantee that if he brings some game modes from his previous world, he will definitely make those players explode!


    The three of them chatted on the way, and slowly followed the class to receive their training uniforms. Qiu Zhenyang slapped the two brothers who were still chatting hotly, smiled and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s talk about this later. If you have any news or thoughts, just mention it to me, don¡¯t worry too much.¡±


    Anyway, this matter can¡¯t be rushed. He has no technology and no team, and taking the first step is a problem.


    School life officially begins!

 CH 14

    After grabbing their uniforms, the trio stood to the side and waited for the rest of the class to do the same. Afterwards, they would return to the classrooms to put away their clothes and go to the auditorium to listen to the opening speech.


    Bored, Qiu Zhenyang leaned against the pillars in the corridor, still thinking about how to start his own business.


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang saw him deep in thought, and didn¡¯t disrupt him, and chatted on the side.


    All of a sudden, the distribution point, which was originally quiet, became noisy.


    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that the school flower of our Interstellar Academy, the sophomore one!¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, I saw the photos in the school forum! The real person is a hundred times better than the photo! But why did the senior come here, is he passing by?¡±


    ¡°F*ck, he¡¯s coming towards us!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang wasn¡¯t paying attention to the surrounding situation until a slender figure stood in front of him, raised a hand, and waved it in front of him. Qiu Zhenyang came back to his senses.


    ¡°Junior Qiu, are you picking up your training clothes?¡± Li Zhen looked at Qiu Zhenyang with a sweet smile. With his hands behind his back, he looked youthful and beautiful.


    Qiu Zhenyang has a good memory, and nodded at him. ¡°Hello, Li Zhen.¡±


    Seeing that he could say his name right away, Li Zhen¡¯s cheeks flushed even more, and his smile became sweeter, and an extremely playful mouthful of white teeth hidden behind pink lips peeked out.


    ¡°Qiu, Qiu Zhenyang, I say, when did you idiot, know senior! Senior Li Zhen is the school flower of our school!¡± Yuan Chenyu on the side was drooling, staring straight at Li Zhen. As expected of Interstellar Academy¡¯s school flower ¨C this face, this figure, and this voice are simply heavenly, okay!


    Zhuo Hang next to him was not much better. Almost all the alphas in their class looked over, forgetting everything else.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s reaction was flat, and his tone was very ordinary: ¡°Oh, we met yesterday. A little accident happened.¡±


    ¡°Accident? I really want to have an accident¡­¡± Yuan Chenyu complained. What¡¯s so good about Qiu Zhenyang? He was so lucky, and became involved with the school flower as soon as school started. He still had Cheng An¡¯an he¡¯s been chasing after for a year; can he not pick up stray flowers on the side?!


    The rest of the class also looked at Qiu Zhenyang and Li Zhen enviously, wondering what their relationship was.


    Li Zhen seemed to be used to everyone¡¯s sight, and greeted the surrounding alphas generously, not timid or shy at all.


    ¡°Ah, yes,¡± Li Zhen took out his hand behind his back after greeting him, and handed a bottle of water to Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°It¡¯s very hot. Here, this bottle of water is for you, it¡¯s still cold from the fridge.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes fell on the water in Li Zhen¡¯s hand, but he didn¡¯t pick it up.


    Seeing this, Li Zhen quickly explained: ¡°I don¡¯t mean anything else. Since you don¡¯t want me to treat you to dinner, is this bottle of water, okay?¡±


    ¡°Senior has already come to deliver the water in person, Qiu Zhenyang, you really can¡¯t justify it if you refuse!¡± Several boys on the side coaxed. They weren¡¯t blind either. Seeing Li Zhen blushing like that, looking at Qiu Zhenyang with a shy and timid expression, who would believe that he had no other intentions?


    Yuan Chenyu¡¯s heart was sore, and he pinched Zhuo Hang aggrievedly. The latter¡¯s face turned green from the pinching.


    Qiu Zhenyang lowered his head, the sun falling on the top of his head. He had a slight smile, but his eyes made people feel alienated: ¡°No need, senior. I drank water before I came out. I¡¯m not thirsty, you can keep it for yourself.¡±


    The smile on Li Zhen¡¯s face froze instantly, caught in embarrassment.


    ¡°Hey Qiu Zhenyang, are you being too disrespectful? Senior Li is kind enough to give you water, why can¡¯t you show a better face1as in not be so alienated/rejecting?!¡± An alpha couldn¡¯t stand it, and came up to shout.


    Li Zhen isn¡¯t only a senior, but also a school flower of the academy. Who knows how many people adore him! Not to mention new students, even many old students weren¡¯t favored by Li Zhen. But as a result, he hit a wall on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s side.2as in LZ refused many people/had no goodwill towards them, but the one time he shows goodwill, he¡¯s rejected by QZY How could he bear it!


    Qiu Zhenyang was speechless, how was his face bad?


    Raising his hand to touch the back of his neck, Qiu Zhenyang said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯m really not thirsty.¡±


    Li Zhen bit his lip and looked down.


    Qiu Zhenyang thought that he was obvious enough, but the next second, something hit his chest. Grabbing it in reflex, he saw it was the water thrown by Li Zhen! As for Li Zhen himself, he turned his head and ran away after throwing the water, and Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t have time to return it!


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡±


    Zhuo Hang: ¡°Wow.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu: ¡°Hmph, you stinky boy deserve this kind of shit luck!¡±


    Temples throbbing, Qiu Zhenyang glared at Yuan Chenyu and threw the water to him. ¡°Do you like it? Here, for you.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu hurriedly took it, took the water bottle in his arms, and even exaggeratedly sniffed the bottle cap with intoxication. ¡°Ah~ Senior¡¯s pheromone is really good. It seems to taste like fruit~ Don¡¯t know what kind of fruit it is~¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang kicked him directly. ¡°Tsk, you¡¯re disgusting!¡±


    After this little episode, the students who finished getting their clothes returned to the classroom, and were then led by the head teacher to the auditorium.


    An auditorium that can accommodate more than 10,000 people is really big enough, and it is also thoughtfully divided into three areas for alphas, betas, and omegas.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s class was the first to arrive. Having nothing to do, he simply stared at the door and waited for Ling Mu to appear.


    After about ten minutes, the black-haired boy finally appeared in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s sight.


    Ling Mu still looks icy. His body is more slender than most omegas, and he is almost half a head taller, which made him stand out from the crowd. There was almost no one next to him; everyone seemed to be avoiding him on purpose. Qiu Zhenyang even saw a few omegas rolling their eyes with contempt at Ling Mu.


    Qiu Zhenyang frowned. Although Ling Mu had a cold expression, he usually won¡¯t take the initiative to seek trouble with others.


    Suddenly thinking of something, his eyes swept across Ling Mu¡¯s class, and as expected, he saw Lin Nuo¡¯s figure.


    Hehe, as long as this guy is there, let alone Ling Mu in the class, even in the school, his reputation will soon stink.


    Qiu Zhenyang was extremely uncomfortable thinking of this.


    That Lin Nuo, sooner or later, he will have to pay back what he owes Ling Mu!


    In the middle of his irritation, Zhuo Hang suddenly pushed his shoulders, leaned over and said, ¡°Looking at Cheng An¡¯an?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang inexplicably followed Zhuo Hang¡¯s gaze, and realized that Cheng An¡¯an was walking in behind Ling Mu¡¯s class. Zhuo Hang probably misunderstood that he was looking at Cheng An¡¯an.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang responded lightly, but the meaning in Zhuo Hang¡¯s ears changed. He thought Qiu Zhenyang was deliberately pretending not to care and concealing his true emotions.


    ¡°I saw, what happened to the two of you? During the entrance test last time, you were acting wrong. Did you quarrel?¡± Although Zhuo Hang knew that Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pursuit of Cheng An¡¯an was mostly an obsession, after chasing for a year, there should be some real feelings.


    Yuan Chenyu turned his head after hearing this, waiting for Qiu Zhenyang to respond.


    ¡°There¡¯s no quarrel, it¡¯s just¡­ suddenly I don¡¯t want to chase anymore.¡± Qiu Zhenyang shrugged. Even if he was the protagonist in the original text, what could happen? His3Cheng An¡¯an appearance was not to his liking, and his personality wasn¡¯t either.


    Since he replaced the original body, he has to follow his own direction.


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang looked at each other, and couldn¡¯t help smiling at each other in surprise.


    As expected of Qiu Zhenyang, changing on a whim, without giving people time to react at all.4original body is whimsical, e.g., when he pursued CAA for a year because he was rejected However, since he had decided, as brothers, they just need to accept and support him, otherwise, it¡¯s better to go to hell!


    The opening ceremony was boring and long, and didn¡¯t end until lunchtime.


    The bustling crowd moved towards the cafeteria. Qiu Zhenyang wanted to ask Ling Mu to have lunch together, but there were so many people and he couldn¡¯t find him. There was no reply to the message he sent, so he could only go eat with Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang.


    Military training began at two o¡¯clock in the afternoon. After lunch, there was short break, so the three parted ways and returned to the dorms first.


    When Qiu Zhenyang returned to the villa, Ling Mu was holding a bottle of nutritional supplements and pouring it into his mouth. The small adam¡¯s apple slid up and down, and Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help pursing his lower lip.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t see my message?¡±


    Ling Mu licked off the liquid on the mouth of the tube, looked at Qiu Zhenyang doubtfully, and then clicked on his terminal to see Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s message.


    ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t see it.¡± Ling Mu threw the empty tube into the trash can with a strange feeling.


    He has no friends, and his mother and sister don¡¯t send him messages much, so except for spam messages, he hasn¡¯t received messages from others for a long time.


    Thinking that he had a roommate now, Ling Mu changed the notification settings.


    ¡°Where¡¯s your military training this afternoon?¡± Qiu Zhenyang turned on the air conditioner, sat on the sofa, and watched Ling Mu start up the cleaning robot and clean the windows with a rag. Cleaning seems to be something he does often, and he was very good at it.


    ¡°The big playground, near canteen no. 3.¡± Ling Mu said while cleaning the windows.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled and said happily: ¡°Then we are very close. I¡¯ll come find you during the break.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s mouth twitched, and he turned to look speechlessly Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°What the hell? You, an alpha, sweating profusely after military training, want to come to an omega class with pheromones all over your body? What are you thinking?¡±


    ¡°Of course I want to be with you for a while.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words were smooth, but he was rewarded with a damp rag in the face immediately after speaking.


    ¡°Dumbass.¡± Ling Mu¡¯s disdainful voice rang in his ears. But there was a faint smile in that voice, which made the corners of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth twitch.


    QZY: Mumu called me stupid! But he sounded a little happy¡­ What to do?! So conflicted¡­

    T/N Thank you Butter & Yaz for sponsoring an extra release so we can see what the first day of school is like for QZY and LM. And let me tell you, it¡¯s a doozy with epic face slapping and more.


    -komorebi


    At 1:30, before the break ended, Qiu Zhenyang packed up and went back to the classroom.


    Ling Mu left early after cleaning the windows to try and find a job on the commercial street, so he returned to the classroom directly.


    Summer afternoons are unbearably hot, and even alphas with strong bodies were listless under the scorching sun, not to mention betas and frail omegas.


    ¡°Damn, they¡¯re really inhumane, asking us to remain in military standing posture from the start. The instructors are ruthless.¡± Zhuo Hang was in line beside Qiu Zhenyang, and shot the instructor a resentful look after they walked by.


    Qiu Zhenyang had two years of experience as a soldier before transmigrating, and went to school1military training in school after being discharged from the army, so he didn¡¯t take this military training seriously at all.


    Moreover, because the original body was born in a military family, he was trained by his grandfather and father from childhood, and his physical fitness was extremely good.


    While standing here, he can also peek at Ling Mu not far away.


    Class A1 is followed by classes A2 and A3 on the left, and the five omega classes on the right. They¡¯re connected end to end, so there are only two classes between Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, and because they are on both sides of the corner of the runway, Qiu Zhenyang can clearly see Ling Mu¡¯s figure.


    The boy was dressed neatly and his face was cold and solemn, and his military posture was more standard than that of any omega. Qiu Zhenyang knew that Ling Mu respected his father very much, and treated military training very seriously, which was incompatible with the lazy people next to him.


    Perhaps it was because his gaze was too hot, Ling Mu looked over as if sensing something, and their gazes directly met.


    The young man was surprised, obviously not expecting Qiu Zhenyang to stare at him. His brows suddenly wrinkled, and he rolled his eyes once, before retracting his gaze and continuing to stand.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was given a roll of the eyes, couldn¡¯t help smiling. He didn¡¯t know why, but he just liked to tease Ling Mu. Even if he was scolded or ignored, he would feel happy. Could it be that he still has the potential to be abused?2T/N: Yes, yes you do (exclusive to LM)! ÊÜŰDZÖÊ is a pop ¡®constellation¡¯ or type of person who, the more they¡¯re abused in a relationship, the more they like them.


    Before Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s thoughts could get any more outrageous, the instructor¡¯s voice suddenly sounded from the side: ¡°What are you looking at? Even if you stare your eyes out, the omega over there won¡¯t be yours.¡±


    Muffled laughter burst out one after another. Yuan Chenyu even snorted like a pig, and the two sounds made the class laugh even louder.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyes to glance at the instructor who came to his side without his knowing. ¡°I¡¯m looking at my omega.¡±


    Many people in the team immediately booed. Those who had heard of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s deeds before were all guessing whether he was looking at Cheng An¡¯an who he had been chasing for a year.


    The instructor looked Qiu Zhenyang up and down, and said with disgust: ¡°Seeing your flowery face, whichever omega is with you is ill-fated for eight lifetimes!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth twitched. It¡¯s not his fault that he looks handsome, it¡¯s the original body¡¯s fault. He¡¯s very serious, okay?3instructor is cursing him because he looks handsome and will attract a lot of bees/butterflies, so the omega will suffer.


    ¡°From now on, whoever takes a second look at the omega classes will be punished with 20 push-ups. You are the first one, come out and finish it quickly, then resume standing.¡±


    The instructor pulled Qiu Zhenyang out mercilessly and watched him do push ups.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was pulled out as the chicken to kill in order to warn the monkeys4making someone an example so others don¡¯t step out of line, quickly attracted the attention of many people. Who made him the first person to be punished by the instructor?


    ¡°Hey, hey, that alpha doing push-ups is so handsome!¡±


    Many omegas from the five nearby classes noticed, and those who didn¡¯t notice were also drawn in by the voice of their classmates. They watched as Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s slender and sturdy body easily completed 20 push-ups onto the ground.


    ¡°That¡¯s Qiu Zhenyang, the young master of the Qiu family from No. 1 High School, right? He¡¯s handsome and passionate. I heard that he chased an omega for a year, and even broke the engagement his parents arranged because of him!¡±


    ¡°Really? Tell me about it!¡±


    So, without Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s knowledge, the deeds belonging to the original body were once again revealed, and spread all over the 5 omega classes.


    Because it was the first day of military training, the training intensity was not too great. After standing for a while and practicing the military posture for a while, the instructor asked the students of Class A1 to rest in place.


    ¡°My god, it¡¯s so hot, omegas are lucky. Not only can they stand in the shake, their training time is much shorter than ours, and they have been resting all the time.¡± Yuan Chenyu fanned himself with his hand, and his tone was full of envy.


    Zhuo Hang glanced at him contemptuously: ¡°You really embarrass us alphas!¡±


    ¡°How am I being embarrassing, you dare say you¡¯re not hot!¡±


    ¡°Even if it¡¯s hot, you should endure!¡±


    Seeing the two fighting, Qiu Zhenyang was relieved. With a laugh, he raised his wrist and opened his terminal to take a look. That thing should be almost here.


    As he was thinking about it, a strange sound came from the sky in the distance, as if something was flying over.


    Hundreds of freshman classes were standing in the playground. At this moment, these people were all surprised to see a group of drones fly over their heads. Under each drone was an iron box, and they didn¡¯t know what was in it.


    ¡°Ah, here it is.¡± Qiu Zhenyang stood up and patted Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Get up, help me with something.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu got up and followed in doubt, watching Qiu Zhenyang walk two or three meters away, where the drones slowly landed.


    After the drones landed, the smallest drone flew in front of Qiu Zhenyang, and a video screen appeared.


    ¡°Your 102 bottles of kinetic energy drinks have arrived, please sign to confirm.¡± On the video screen is a beautiful alpha senior, with bright facial features and a warm smile.


    ¡°Thank you, senior sister.¡± After pressing ¡°confirm¡± on the screen, Qiu Zhenyang picked up the boxes and began distributing drinks to the students in the class. Seeing this, Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang also moved a box and delivered them alongside.


    When it reached the instructor, the one who caused countless alphas to laugh at him, he even whacked Qiu Zhenyang with the drink in hand. ¡°Thanks. You¡¯re really something, even knowing how to bribe your classmates and instructors after school begins.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang grinned, revealing his big white teeth. ¡°What bribe? I just want to have a good relationship with everyone. If you don¡¯t want it, instructor, I¡¯ll take it.¡±


    ¡°Go, go, send them! ¡°The instructor immediately turned around to drive him away while protecting the drink in his hand.


    The rest of the classmates also thanked Qiu Zhenyang. Although some of them brought water, how can they get a kinetic energy drink now? This drink can maintain and improve exercise ability, accelerate the elimination of fatigue after exercising, and it is much more expensive than ordinary drinks. Who wouldn¡¯t want a free drink?


    Even those who brought their own took it with a smile. Sometimes accepting is a way to make friends. Given Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s status, how could they refuse?


    After distributing to his class, Qiu Zhenyang hung the empty boxes back on the drone, waited for them to fly away, and then walked towards the omega class with a bottle of water.


    ¡°Hey hey he¡¯s here! Is he here to deliver water!¡±


    ¡°Definitely yes, Cheng An¡¯an is too lucky!¡±


    After the earlier gossip, there were almost no omegas who didn¡¯t know the ¡°past events¡± between Qiu Zhenyang and Cheng An¡¯an. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arrogant behavior of delivering water also made those admiring omegas excited when they saw him coming this way.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, I didn¡¯t meet such an alpha sooner. He is handsome and powerful. The most important thing is that he is still infatuated!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth twitched when he heard these words as he passed by. This is the biggest understanding related to the main body ¨C the original is a complete scumbag from start to end, okay?


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s actions, Cheng An¡¯an, who was in the O1 class, his gaze also chased after him.


    He looked at Qiu Zhenyang with a complicated expression. Their class was the furthest from Class A1. At this moment, Qiu Zhenyang was passing through other omega classes and heading towards him.


    ¡°Cheng An¡¯an, you are so lucky. Please promise him as soon as possible! If I could have such a handsome and considerate alpha chasing after me, I would definitely hold on to him!¡± A classmate close to Cheng An¡¯an said enviously. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s family background is not a secret, and countless omegas flock to him because of his illustrious status, not to mention that he is a handsome guy who is very attentive to his sweetheart.


    Cheng An¡¯an smiled shyly, tugging at the soft strands of hair beside his ears and said nothing.


    He actually enjoys the envious eyes of others, and his vanity is very satisfied.


    Some people are envious and some people are jealous. Behind Cheng An¡¯an, someone said sourly: ¡°Can that kind of people see us ordinary people? They¡¯re just playing around at this age. After graduation, they will definitely find the right omega and get married.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re one to talk. So sour5as in the speaker is jealous!¡± Ji Qing, the omega envying Cheng An¡¯an just now, gave the speaker a stern look. The latter pouted angrily and turned his head to stop talking.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who had already become the center of attention of the omegas, was very calm. He walked past the O5 and O4 classes, and stopped when he was in front of the O3 class. Suddenly, a large group of omegas looked at him suspiciously.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Cheng An¡¯an is in class O1, what is he doing in class O3?¡±


    ¡°Did he go the wrong way? Do you want to remind him?¡±


    Everyone nearby was watching him.


    An alpha from their class looked at Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang, and asked suspiciously, ¡°Hey, is that omega that Qiu Zhenyang likes in the O3 class?


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang glanced at each other in confusion, shaking their heads, and said, ¡°No, Cheng Anan should be in class O1, and Zhenyang knows it¡­¡±


    As everyone was guessing, Qiu Zhenyang had already locked onto his target sitting in the back row of the class, and met Ling Mu¡¯s dark gaze.


    His eyes were full of warning, as if to say: ¡®You¡¯re seeking death if you dare to look for me!¡¯


    Cheng An¡¯an, who was separated by a class, also frowned slightly and stared with pursed lips.6they¡¯re separated by class O2


    Qiu Zhenyang grinned, revealing his teeth. Eyes narrowing into thin smiling lines, he raised the bottle in his hand at Ling Mu, and shouted in a low voice, ¡°Come and get the water.¡±


    The students in class O3 boiled. Even the instructors in their class were watching with interest.


    But Ling Mu¡¯s eyes only grew colder, and he raised his hand to make a fist at Qiu Zhenyang.


    Feeling amusement in his heart, Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows and shouted out a name that shocked everyone:


    ¡°Ling Mu, here, I brought you water~¡±


    CAA is a black lotus? Or plain narcissist.


    QZY: Mumu, here I come~

 CH 17

    Under the shocked gazes of his surrounding classmates, Ling Mu got up and trotted towards Qiu Zhenyang with gritted teeth.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s smile did not fade at all from the fierce glare. He handed over the water and said, ¡°I bought a lot of water, and the store sent me an extra. Just for you, take it.¡±


    He noticed earlier when Ling Mu was standing, he didn¡¯t seem to bring water. His cheeks were red and his lips were dry to the point of peeling, but he continued to hold on. Qiu Zhenyang knew that if he gave him water directly, Ling Mu would probably not accept it, so he sent this ¡°extra bottle¡± to Ling Mu under the guise of giving water to his classmates.


    Sometimes, in order to deliver water to one person, a hundred people can be used to set the stage.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want it, give it to someone else.¡± Ling Mu was even more stubborn than Qiu Zhenyang imagined. After refusing, he immediately turned around and left.


    ¡°Hey,¡± Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s thin and tough wrist, and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Aren¡¯t we roommates? You¡¯re unwilling to accept even a bottle of water? I thought our relationship was pretty good, after all, your sister likes me so much¡­¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    Hearing Qiu Zhenyang reveal the story of the two living together, Ling Mu was in a hurry and couldn¡¯t care less. In the curious gaze of the class, he raised his hands and covered Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth.


    In fact, Qiu Zhenyang deliberately lowered his voice, and no one could hear him apart from the two of them. But Ling Mu, who was too sensitive, was still stimulated.


    ¡°Do you want others to know?¡± Ling Mu lowered his voice and warned. He really didn¡¯t understand Qiu Zhenyang. Since the person he likes is Cheng An¡¯an, why does he do such a thing in front of so many people? Is he not afraid of Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s anger?


    Qiu Zhenyang blinked. The hands covering his mouth were dry and refreshing without the slightest smell of sweat. Instead there was a sweet aroma that penetrated into his brain from the tip of his nose, causing him to stretch out the tip of his tongue and gently scratch it in a trance.


    ¡°F*ck your ass Qiu Zhenyang!¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s sudden loud voice shocked everyone who was paying attention, and they turned to glare at Qiu Zhenyang.


    What? How many?1¡±Several times¡± is a homonym of ¡°chicken butt¡± or ass which I used, which is why they¡¯re internally thinking ¡°how many¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s¡­ ass?


    What happened???


    For a while, everyone¡¯s eyes stopped in an indescribable place on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s body. The nearby omegas even stared out their eyeballs.


    However, it was clear that their hopes were to be dashed. It was not until it was confirmed that Qiu Zhenyang was fine, that everyone was sure that the words from Ling Mu¡¯s mouth was just an expletive.


    The fiery gazes of the crowd made Ling Mu want to find a hole to dig and hide! Heart racing like a fleeing deer, he withdrew his hand, and glared at the other party holding his hot palm.


    His heart was beating so fast it was about to explode!


    ¡°Cough, that, it¡¯s hard to restrain myself¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t expect he would do such a thing in broad daylight, his ears reddened, and he smiled shyly.2QZY is referring to licking his palm


    But his explanation made Ling Mu even more embarrassed and angry. He flushed crimson, and smashed his fist directly into Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s chest in anger.


    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t be angry. It¡¯s all my fault, so let me make amends with this bottle of water, okay?¡± Qiu Zhenyang caught his fist and coaxed in a softer tone, inexplicably feeling his words sounded familiar. ¡°Just take it. The break¡¯s almost over; I have to go back first.¡±


    After stuffing the bottle into Ling Mu¡¯s hand, he slipped back to his class, ignoring Ling Mu¡¯s stiff expression.


    Ling Mu couldn¡¯t bear to waste it, so in the end he could only clench his jaw and bring the sports drink back to where he was sitting.


    At this time, many classmates were whispering to each other and secretly looking in his direction. A daring omega moved closer to Ling Mu and asked him, ¡°That, classmate Ling, what is your relationship with Qiu Zhenyang?¡±


    Ling Mu put the water down and didn¡¯t reply.


    On the side, someone finally found an opportunity, and snorted: ¡°Tch, it¡¯s just a bottle of water. Do you really think Master Qiu has a crush on you? Don¡¯t know how you did it, but seducing people like that in the test is disgusting!¡±


    Lin Nuo was still brooding over what happened on the starship. Qiu Zhenyang actually admitted to marking Ling Mu and stood up to speak for him, which was unbearable for him! And he even sent water to Ling Mu this time! Lin Nuo only felt his blood surging, and he was full of anger.


    When the classmates next to them heard Lin Nuo¡¯s words, their eyes turned bad as they looked at Ling Mu with contempt. Combined with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s high-profile behavior of delivering water just now, their jealousy surged, and their eyes became even darker.


    On the contrary, the omega who took the initiative to talk to Ling Mu couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, and shouted at Lin Nuo: ¡°Why are you doing this! Classmate Qiu didn¡¯t say anything, and you just made things up. We all have eyes, classmate Qiu was completely willing to come to deliver water, so what are you saying!¡±


    This omega is named Guan Tang, and his family is a small businessman. He has a lively personality, and having come into contact with society many times, he¡¯s able to form his own set of opinions, unlike those omegas easily fooled by Lin Nuo.


    ¡°Who are you, daring to challenge me?¡± Lin Nuo yelled angrily. Someone actually spoke for Ling Mu and accused him!


    Guan Tang wasn¡¯t one to be outdone: ¡°You¡¯re in the same class as me. Who are you?¡±


    The two omegas voices were shrill and thin, like two sparrows chirping in one¡¯s ears one after another. Ling Mu¡¯s head was about to explode, so he grabbed Guan Tang, who stood up in excitement to scold Lin Nuo, and said, ¡°No more.¡±


    He rolled his eyes and sat down, turning his back on purpose, and treating Lin Nuo like he was dead.


    ¡°Who is he really, I think he¡¯s just jealous of you! Classmate Ling Mu, you shouldn¡¯t let him go like this. You look quite capable of fighting, so next time you should punch him directly and show him who¡¯s boss!¡±


    Ling Mu, who looks quite capable at fighting: ¡°¡­¡±


    This is the first time he has ever seen such a spicy omega, aside from that disgusting Lin Nuo.


    While class O3 was being noisy, it was eerily silent next to Cheng An¡¯an.


    Everyone in class O1 looked at Cheng An¡¯an secretly, with their faces interested in a good drama. They all thought Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s water would be given to Cheng An¡¯an, but it was given to someone who was the antithesis of beauty, and even full of anger. Could it be that Master Qiu really changed his goals?


    Ji Qing, who had a better relationship with Cheng An¡¯an, was even more confused. Seeing Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s poor expression, he tugged his hand and asked, ¡°An¡¯an, who is that? Why did Qiu Zhenyang give him water? Shouldn¡¯t it be for you?¡±


    The person who ridiculed Cheng An¡¯an before suddenly interjected proudly: ¡°Are you still dreaming? He definitely doesn¡¯t like Cheng An¡¯an, and changed targets. It¡¯s so obvious!¡±


    The people around snickered. Many of them were sore when they learned of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s previous pursuit of Cheng An¡¯an, and felt better seeing such a farce.


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t with him3as in dating, so why are you so energetic?¡± Cheng An¡¯an swept around the crowd, and his overly gloomy eyes made them stop for a moment.


    The atmosphere turned even weirder.


    Qiu Zhenyang had no idea what happened in these two omega classes. He had already returned to the lineup, opened his bottle of water, raised his head and poured it down. The bottle of water soon bottomed out.


    ¡°Hah, it¡¯s really cooling!¡± Qiu Zhenyang wiped his mouth and put the empty bottle on the ground with a very comfortable expression.4The author said it was a kinetic sports drink before, and now it¡¯s a bottle of water. Maybe it¡¯s unflavored electrolyte water or something like that?


    ¡°Zhenyang, who did you just give the water to?¡± Zhuo Hang looked at his brother with a constipated look. He wondered if he was blind. How could Qiu Zhenyang have given the water to someone who looked so fierce, and unlike an omega?


    Yuan Chenyu had seen Ling Mu on the starship before, but because he was rather forgetful, he didn¡¯t think to ask Qiu Zhenyang back then, and was also confused.


    Not to mention them, even the other students in the class looked at Qiu Zhenyang and waited for his answer.


    ¡°Ling Mu, my¡­ friend.¡± He smiled.


    ¡°Friend? When did you make friends with such a person?¡± Zhuo Hang murmured in disbelief.


    ¡°He is a very good person. I will look for him frequently in the future, so please use a more positive attitude towards him. Don¡¯t be like this and that.5this and that, as in their current attitude¡± Qiu Zhenyang squinted at Zhuo Hang. He knew Ling Mu¡¯s looks weren¡¯t very popular or accepted, but he couldn¡¯t stand his friend looking down on Ling Mu.


    ¡°I know, your friend is our friend.¡± Yuan Chenyu patted Qiu Zhenyang on the shoulder. Zhuo Hang nodded after seeing his serious face.


    Since he¡¯s his brother¡¯s friend, he¡¯s also their friend.


    Satisfied, Qiu Zhenyang patted them back. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll formally introduce him next time when I have a chance.¡±


    This episode became the topic of gossip for many freshmen all afternoon, but all the parties involved kept silent, so it eventually faded out.


    The first day of military training was really easy. They were disbanded relatively early, and everyone was quite energetic as they chatted and left the grounds one after another.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his head and looked for Ling Mu. This time, he finally found a conspicuous young man among the group of short people. He had taken off his cap, and was walking towards the school gate, probably preparing to pick up Ling Dang from school.


    Ling Dang is now in elementary school, and there¡¯s a school car that does pick up and drop off, so she can be delivered directly to the academy¡¯s gates safely.


    With that in mind, Qiu Zhenyang decided to go back to the dorm first to prepare dinner.


    After finally living with Ling Mu and Ling Dang, he couldn¡¯t continue watching the two live on nutritional supplements. Although he still doesn¡¯t know much about food here, and the ingredients are very different from his previous world, he has many years of experience living alone, and he also studied cooking himself before. With a little practice, he should be able to make some nicer tasting meals.


    After greeting Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu, Qiu Zhenyang headed back.


    He first went to the bathroom to wash off. After emerging with wet hair, he put on a shirt and shorts, and went to the kitchen.


    Different from when Qiu Zhenyang was in school,6re: past life dorms Interstellar Academy allows students to cook for themselves. There is also a small vegetable market on the commercial street with fresh vegetables and meat delivered every day.


    However, he didn¡¯t need to buy anything yet. When Zhu Qin accompanied him to buy things before, he asked the bodyguards to buy a lot of things.

    -k


    It wasn¡¯t dark outside yet, and the skies were filled with a smoky red haze from the setting sun.


    Qiu Zhenyang walked along the boulevard until he stopped by a big pond in the center of the dorm area and sat down on a public seat by the water.


    The weather was still terribly hot, but it was quite comfortable with the cool evening breeze.


    Many people were beside the water. Couples walking hand in hand, seniors on the lawn reading their terminals, and students running and exercising along the river. Everyone was spread out, and the voices were not loud, so it was very quiet and leisurely.


    Qiu Zhenyang felt a lot better after sitting down.


    In order to change Ling Mu¡¯s opinion of him, or change his attitude towards him, he can only do it slowly over time. The harsh living environment caused him to feel inferior and independent. He can¡¯t open his heart easily, and he doesn¡¯t want to owe others. Kindness and goodwill from others only creates a huge psychological burden on Ling Mu, because he feels that he can¡¯t afford it¡­


    After reflecting in his heart, the more Qiu Zhenyang thought about it, the more he regretted it. He shouldn¡¯t have lost his temper at Ling Mu. Only omegas who grew up being loved will be so naive. His Ling Mu¡¯s heart is full of scars, how could he force him, and be willing to yell at him?


    Drowning in remorse, Qiu Zhenyang immediately got up to return to the dorm.


    It¡¯s just that he just took two steps when a person ran in front of him.


    Li Zhen gasped and stood in front of Qiu Zhenyang, patted his chest and said with a smile, ¡°I did see right, it¡¯s really Junior Qiu. What are you doing here?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang looked down at him, not answering his question, and simply said, ¡°Is senior looking at me for something?¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± Li Zhen suddenly twisted.


    He raised his hand and scratched his cheeks. His fair face was a little red, like a gorgeous rose in full bloom, wrapped in a sweet fruity scent.


    Qiu Zhenyang pursed his thin lips and stepped back. An omega actively releasing pheromones at an alpha is a way to show affection.


    Sure enough, Li Zhen¡¯s next words verified Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s guess.


    ¡°Junior Qiu, I know you may find it unbelievable what I said, but¡­ since I met you yesterday, I fell in love with you at first sight.¡± Li Zhen¡¯s voice was soft and shy. With his beautiful face, it was even more alluring. ¡°This is the first time I have confessed to someone. Junior, can you give me a chance?¡±


    Li Zhen is a real beauty with eyes that can hook someone¡¯s soul. At this moment, his expression was serious, shy and full of hope, and his eyes looking at Qiu Zhenyang were bright as stars.


    No matter which alpha or beta is standing here, they won¡¯t be able to resist Li Zhen¡¯s charm.


    However, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mind suddenly flashed to the entrance test, when Ling Mu, who was troubled by the estrus period, flushed¡­ Not only that time, but also the Ling Mu who awkwardly thanked him for the crystal cores, the gentle expression when facing his sister, and the angry look when his palm was licked¡­


    No matter how good-looking an omega was, it couldn¡¯t cover up those images in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s memory.


    ¡°Junior?¡±


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lack of response, Li Zhen¡¯s heart gradually sank.


    ¡°Sorry, senior,¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled widely. ¡°You are very beautiful and popular, but you are not my type.¡±


    Li Zhen¡¯s face paled.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his hand and patted Li Zhen¡¯s arm like a good buddy. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. Senior is very good-looking; there won¡¯t be a shortage of good boys chasing after you.¡±


    However, this comfort was obviously useless. Li Zhen¡¯s eyes turned red as he frowned. ¡°But those people are not you¡­ Junior, do you really have someone you like?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was well-known, and there were a lot of rumors about him floating around the school. It was easy to find out about Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s previous pursuit of Cheng An¡¯an.


    ¡°Maybe.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang shrugged and blurted out.


    ¡°Compared to him, am I far behind¡­¡± Li Zhen wiped away the tears, his face flush with sadness and tears. ¡°I know I¡¯m older than you, and I¡¯m not good-looking enough. Brother, the person you like must be beautiful and gentle, right?¡±


    It should be said that he is handsome instead of beautiful? The corners of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lips rose. As for gentleness, it can only be said they¡¯re estranged or unrelated at best.


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s smile, Li Zhen¡¯s clenched tightly the corner of his clothes, and tasted blood from his bitten lips.


    ¡°Then¡­ can we still be friends?¡± Li Zhen was very unwilling, and didn¡¯t want to show it to Qiu Zhenyang, so he could only endure jealousy and looked pitifully at Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Anyway, you are my senior, aren¡¯t you?¡± Qiu Zhenyang restrained his smile, looked at his vibrating terminal, and waved to Li Zhen. ¡°I have something first. See you, senior.¡±


    After having his first confession rejected, Li Zhen stomped his feet in anger.


    After leaving the lake, Qiu Zhenyang walked towards the dormitory with a sullen face.


    When Li Zhen confessed to him just now, there were many people passing by, and some people even peeked over. This matter will likely spread to many people¡¯s ears soon. After all, Li Zhen is also a man of influence ¨C news that the school flower of Interstellar Academy confessing and failing will definitely be big news.


    Qiu Zhenyang grew more irritated at the thought, and quickened his pace back to the dorms.


    When he arrived at the door, he suddenly smelled a burst of floral fragrance. Light and sweet, it came out from the crack of the door. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s footsteps paused, the tip of his nose twitched slightly, and his eyes immediately darkened into a deep sea.


    Raising his hand, he swiped his terminal and opened the door to go in. Sure enough, at a glance, he saw a boy half-lying on the sofa in the living room.


    Ling Mu raised one arm to cover his eyes. His entire body slumped on the sofa, his lips slightly opened, as he breathed heavily. Bright red loomed between his lips, peeking from behind his teeth. It was as if a brush swept across Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart, provoking his cells to boil.


    ¡°Ling Mu, you¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t dare finish his sentence. His voice was too hoarse, with desire and arousal, and he knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it.


    He didn¡¯t dare to approach Ling Mu. His eyes were sour from watching, and he could only close the door with his limbs stiff.


    The living room became quiet, and the sound of Ling Mu¡¯s heavy breathing was amplified in the silence.


    Seeing his reddening earlobes, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help but get closer. ¡°Did you not take the inhibitor?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s arm moved a little, and the exposed chestnut pupils were dark and turbulent. ¡°Injected, It¡¯s useless.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang glanced at Ling Mu¡¯s feet, and there were indeed three tubes of reagents that were empty.


    Omegas¡¯ estrus varies from person to person. It can be monthly, every few months, and even once every few years. And for those omegas who are marked, but not fully marked, the frequency of their estrus will increase, becoming increasingly unbearable, and even inhibitors will eventually lose effectiveness.


    At the end of the day, temporary marking is only a temporary way to quench the thirst; only a complete mark can solve the underlying problem.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t know if it was because of his physique, but he had to take inhibitors almost daily after being temporarily marked by Qiu Zhenyang. Speaking of which, he agreed to live with Qiu Zhenyang for another obscure reason, that is, he needs Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pheromones! God knows how uncomfortable he was in the days when he went home ¨C he was in a state of restlessness every day without alpha pheromones to comfort him!


    ¡°How can I help you?¡± Qiu Zhenyang pinched his arm several times to make his voice more normal.


    Although Ling Mu put a pheromone sticker on the back of his neck, omegas in estrus will actively secrete pheromones, which even a pheromone sticker can¡¯t stop. The entire house was almost filled with Ling Mu¡¯s sweet, elegant fragrance. It was like being in a garden, full of intoxication and exuberance.


    Ling Mu raised his head. He could hardly see between his half-closed eyes. The lights in the living room were not turned on, and there was only a little bit of dim yellow coming in from the window. Ling Mu could only stare blankly at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s figure, tall, straight, and vigorous.


    ¡°You, come here¡­¡±


    A soft voice penetrated into his ears, and Qiu Zhenyang stepped forward almost immediately, knelt on one knee on the edge of the sofa and stared at the flushed boy.


    ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± He reached out and took Ling Mu¡¯s arm away, holding his sweaty hand in his palms, and slowly interlaced their fingers. Using his other hand, he wiped the sweat from Ling Mu¡¯s forehead, extremely gentle.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s approach and touch made Ling Mu squint comfortably. Body twisting on the sofa, he sat up with difficulty, and looked at Qiu Zhenyang who was kneeling in front of him.


    He opened his mouth, and suddenly a fragile apology appeared on his face.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    A soft apology sounded, and Qiu Zhenyang knew what he meant almost immediately.


    After Qiu Zhenyang left, Ling Mu kept thinking about this matter. He didn¡¯t know whether he was doing things right or not, but Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s wry smile when he left made him unable to let go.


    ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, it¡¯s because I was too impulsive and didn¡¯t think clearly. I will pay attention in the future.¡± Qiu Zhenyang reassured Ling Mu, carefully controlling his tone. Omegas will be more fragile during estrus, unable to withstand the slightest stimulation.


    Both of them restrained the obvious desire in their eyes, resisting the lure of the pheromones tempting them to entangle fiercely!


    Qiu Zhenyang clenched his back molars tightly, his cheeks tense.


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyes were confused, the hand that was not held by Qiu Zhenyang went forward and hooked the latter¡¯s neck, and leaned forward. His high nose pressed against the hot gland, smelling the spreading, fascinating pheromone belonging to Qiu Zhenyang. The warm, powerful smell seemed to enter Ling Mu¡¯s limbs, making him shiver in comfort.


    ¡°You, smell good¡­¡± Ling Mu¡¯s consciousness was already blurred, and he even stretched out the tip of his tongue under the extreme desire. His breathing was suddenly heavy, and the bottom of his black eyes also turned a little red.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡±


    He took Ling Mu¡¯s hand to guide him to sit on the sofa, while holding his thin waist and pressing him back. The slender waist around his arm felt so good that it was ridiculous; Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s body changed almost immediately, and veins popped up on his forehead.


    After lying back, Ling Mu¡¯s head rested on the back of the sofa and stopped messing around.


    Qiu Zhenyang breathed a sigh of relief, pinched Ling Mu¡¯s chin with one hand, and repeated his earlier question. ¡°What do you want me to do, eh?¡±


    This magnetic low voice entered his ears, causing Ling Mu to tremble heavily. He took a few breaths, feeling as if some beast was about to burst out of his chest. Ling Mu was frightened by that mad craving, tears oozing from the corners of his eyes. His red eyes were stubborn and pitiful, as he looked pleadingly at Qiu Zhenyang, and whispered: ¡°Bite, bite me¡­ ¡°


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he somehow remembered what Li Zhen asked him before-


    He seems to have someone he really likes.


    QZY: I like Mumu!!! ?((?¨Œ?))?


    The rest of us: ¡­ that took you a while, dumb*ss.

 CH 19

    Qiu Zhenyang, who had already experienced marking once, was much more proficient this time. Last time, his bite was too hard and hasty, creating a very ferocious wound. This time, he controlled his strength, using a force Ling could accept to inject his own pheromones as gently as possible.


    Ling Mu¡¯s body softened instantly, and the hand entangling with Qiu Zhenyang lost its strength.


    After the mark finished, Qiu Zhenyang retracted his teeth and kissed the wound with his thin lips. His movements were gentle, like an ambiguous caress between lovers, mixed with pampering and warmth.


    And Ling Mu, who had been tortured to the point of exhaustion during estrus, simply fell asleep in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arms.


    The next morning, Qiu Zhenyang stared blankly with two bloodshot eyes, slumping on the sofa. Dark circles surrounded his eyes, and there was a bruise on the cheekbone on the left cheek from Ling Mu when he woke up frightened.


    However, this wasn¡¯t what kept Qiu Zhenyang unbearable, but¡­ that he actually slept with Ling Mu on the first night of school!


    Ah, even if it¡¯s just a simple sleep, it¡¯s not a big deal.


    Qiu Zhenyang blinked, feeling a little dissatisfied for some reason¡­


    ¡°Brother Qiu, I¡¯m going to school~¡± Ling Dang was led downstairs by Ling Mu, carrying a small schoolbag, and greeted Qiu Zhenyang, who was lying dead on the sofa.


    Fortunately, Ling Dang was doing her homework in her room when Ling Mu was in heat last night, and because she was beta and couldn¡¯t detect pheromones, she didn¡¯t realize her elder brother and Brother Qiu did shameful things. Later, after Ling Mu fell asleep, Qiu Zhenyang reheated some food for Ling Dang, and received a small look of admiration from her.


    ¡°I still want to eat the meal that Brother Qiu makes tonight! Brother Qiu please~¡± Xiao Ling Dang was addicted to eating and acted like a spoiled child with Qiu Zhenyang.


    Ling Mu patted Ling Dang¡¯s head lightly, signaling her to be polite. After punching Qiu Zhenyang this morning, the guy still pushed him to eat hot food and vegetables despite the bruises. Ling Mu felt guilty about what happened last night, and he didn¡¯t want to have any more incidents like Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s water delivery, so he didn¡¯t refuse. Of course, he was just as amazed at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s craftsmanship as his sister.


    Qiu Zhenyang is really like a luminous body full of mysteries.


    ¡°Okay, I know, I¡¯ll make it. Be careful on the road.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled at his sister, raised his hand and waved, eyes drifting to Ling Mu¡¯s face unconsciously.


    Ling Mu¡¯s expression had returned to its usual indifference. The pheromone sticker on the back of his neck completely covered up Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s aura.


    That guy slept soundly in his arms last night. After all, in order to prevent the two of them from falling off the sofa, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t sleep all night.


    As for why he insisted on squeezing with Ling Mu instead of going upstairs to sleep by himself, it was naturally because¡­ he wanted to hug him! If it wasn¡¯t for the fear that Ling Mu would have a bigger reaction when he woke up in the morning, he would have carried him directly back to his room. Lying on a bed was much more comfortable than lying on a sofa.


    Ling Mu routinely put two nutritional supplements into his sister¡¯s schoolbag, and led her to the door.


    Just when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly released Ling Dang¡¯s hand and turned back, walked to the coffee table, picked up the bottle of water from yesterday, and then turned around and led Ling Dang out.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes narrowed into a smile. Standing up, he turned to pack and prepare for military training in a good mood.


    Although he stayed up all night and didn¡¯t sleep last night, an alpha¡¯s physical fitness is quite good. After a day¡¯s military training, Qiu Zhenyang was only slightly tired, but was fine overall.


    He continued to watch Ling Mu from time to time during military training. He was very happy to discover he drank that bottle of water.


    Speaking of which, because it wasn¡¯t good to blatantly send water to Ling Mu, Qiu Zhenyang did not plan to send water to everyone today. Who knew Cao Shuhuan followed his example and sent a bottle to everyone in their class, and finally an extra bottle to¡­ Cheng An¡¯an.


    Cao Shuhuan probably heard about Qiu Zhenyang and Cheng An¡¯an in high school, and raised his eyebrows at Qiu Zhenyang when he passed by. His eyebrow raise was absolutely amazing, mixed with burning provocation and disdain, as he boldly and confidently publicized his admiration for Cheng An¡¯an.


    The corners of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth twitched. That naive eyebrow raise, why does it look like he was having a nervous twitch?


    After military training, Qiu Zhenyang hurried back to the dorms after seeing Ling Mu go to the school gate.


    Today, he is going to make other dishes, and has to re-study those ingredients, so he can¡¯t waste time.


    It¡¯s just that Qiu Zhenyang was blocked by a group of alphas as soon as he walked out of the playground. They didn¡¯t seem to be freshmen.


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t panic when he was surrounded, simply staring at the person with the strongest aura in the middle. Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu hadn¡¯t gone too far, and immediately walked over, standing by Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s side, and look at the group with bad faces. ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    ¡°No, I want to talk to you, and get to know this Junior Qiu.¡± The leading alpha smiled sullenly. ¡°My name is Zheng Xu, a third year. I heard that Junior Qiu seemed to have rejected our school flower, Li Zhen, yesterday, so I just wanted to come and see what kind of person has such a high vision and even looks down on our school beauty.¡±


    Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu looked at each other in surprise. They never heard Qiu Zhenyang talk about it. This guy even refused the school flower¡¯s confession! Awesome!


    ¡°Senior already knows my name, so it seems that I don¡¯t need to introduce myself.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled lightly, seeming very flattering with hands in his pockets in Zheng Xu¡¯s eyes. ¡°As for Senior Li, he is indeed a very good person. I, Qiu Zhenyang, am not worthy of such an excellent person, nor do I have the strength to compete with you seniors.¡±


    The people who were going to provoke Qiu Zhenyang were all stunned.


    Zheng Xu hummed: ¡°That¡¯s nice, but who knows if you¡¯re playing hard-to-get? Qiu Zhenyang, I warn you, although you are a junior, don¡¯t you dare try to win Senior Li¡¯s attention!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lips hooked, as he smiled silently.


    Zheng Xu was very unhappy with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s attitude, but knew a little about Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s family background given the people in his family. This guy seems to be easy to deal with now, but if he uses his family¡¯s relationship, he and his brothers will definitely be finished! If it weren¡¯t for this concern, Zheng Xu wouldn¡¯t be able to just find someone to block him.


    ¡°You¡¯d better remember well for me, boy!¡± Zheng Xu stretched out his index finger and slapped the tip of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s tall nose, hummed twice, and left with his group of brothers.


    ¡°F*ck, who are you, daring to be so arrogant, I¡¯ll get them back later.¡± Yuan Chenyu waved his fist irritably. If Qiu Zhenyang hadn¡¯t talked like that, Zhuo Hang and him would have greeted them with a fist!


    Instead, Zhuo Hang pressed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s shoulder and said with emotion: ¡°Heroes from ancient times have been saddened by the Beauty Pass, Qiu Zhenyang, you have today, tsk tsk tsk.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s reputation in the capital used to be so great that almost no one dared to provoke him. , that is, here, dare to have people who don¡¯t know enough to come up and provoke wantonly.


    ¡°Do you want to take revenge?¡± Zhuo Hang said with a smile, as if he was asking what to eat for dinner.


    ¡°No,¡± Qiu Zhenyang tugged Zhuo Hang¡¯s arm down. ¡°It¡¯s not necessary.¡±


    He didn¡¯t pay attention to them at all. There¡¯s no need to ruin his reputation because of a Li Zhen who had nothing to do. Besides, if he fought back, wouldn¡¯t he be responding to Zheng Xu¡¯s words and putting Li Zhen in his heart?


    Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu looked at each other. They both felt that Qiu Zhenyang had changed a bit since coming to university, and was no longer so high-profile. But it¡¯s a good thing, and they were also quite happy about it.


    Since there was nothing else, Qiu Zhenyang bade farewell and headed back.


    Back in the dormitory, after turning on the air conditioner and washing off, he went to the kitchen to start research. They finished all three dishes yesterday, and Qiu Zhenyang is going to make one more dessert today to see if Ling Mu likes it or not.


    Today, Qiu Zhenyang stir-fried two kinds of vegetables and shredded pork together, and braised some fish. The soup was egg cauliflower soup with a similar vegetable and exotic animal eggs. The final dessert is a milk ice with fruit that was frozen in the morning, with a splash of nectar water to finish.


    He is not a master chef and can only make some home-cooked dishes. But these dishes are already a hundred times better than the top dishes in the galaxy!


    Ling Dang almost ran back with her brother. Since she ate the food that Qiu Zhenyang brought last night, she¡¯s been dreaming about food all day, to the point of being distracted in class. After getting off the bus, she dragged Ling Mu and ran to the dormitory.


    ¡°Slow down, be careful not to trip.¡± Ling Mu frowned and reminded his sister.


    But the little girl didn¡¯t listen to him, running forward, and shouting: ¡°I¡¯m starving to death, I want to eat the food made by Brother Qiu!¡±


    When the two returned, Qiu Zhenyang had just finished cooking. He stared blankly at Ling Dang, who was panting as she rushed to the kitchen. He wondered, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Running so fast, what happened?¡±


    Without waiting for Qiu Zhenyang, Ling Dang raised her head and shouted, ¡°Brother Qiu, I want to eat!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang suddenly laughed, and reluctantly wiped his hands on the apron, squatted down and touched her head. ¡°In such a hurry to eat? I¡¯ve only finished a dish. Be good, go take a bath first. Don¡¯t need to rush, we¡¯ll wait for you to come back and eat together.¡±


    Ling Dang felt at ease with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words, nodded, and went upstairs obediently.


    After putting down his sister¡¯s schoolbag, Ling Mu rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen. ¡°I¡¯ll help.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly stopped him. ¡°Ah, don¡¯t, no need. I just put the other two dishes on the stove; they only need to be taken out after a while. You can also go up and wash up.¡±


    The dessert is still in progress, but he can¡¯t let Ling Mu see it in advance, otherwise, how will it be a surprise later?


    Ling Mu nodded without any doubts.


    He half turned around, squeezing his own hands as he bit his lower lip and said in a low voice, ¡°Thank you for what happened yesterday.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang laughed. ¡°What thanks? It¡¯s what I should do.¡±


    He stepped forward, put both hands on Ling Mu¡¯s shoulders, turned the awkward boy around, looked at him seriously and said, ¡°Also, if you feel uncomfortable in the future, tell me. Even if I¡¯m not there, you should call me. After all, I was the one who marked you. I have a responsibility to you, and you don¡¯t need to feel embarrassed.¡±


    QZY: Hehe, I bit Mumu~ Time to fatten up my wifey now~

    Brows furrowing, Ling Mu moved slightly, trying to break away from Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hands.


    But the latter did not move and even exerted more strength, forcing Ling Mu to look into his dark eyes.


    ¡°Ling Mu, do you understand? The matter of estrus is no trivial matter. If I¡¯m not by your side, and you happen to be uncomfortable outside¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face darkened as he imagined the scene. ¡°In short, you have to contact me as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I can¡¯t forgive myself.¡±


    The strength on his shoulders became stronger, making Ling Mu feel a little uncomfortable.


    But at the same time, a feeling of being cared about rose up from the soles of his feet, tightly winding around Ling Mu¡¯s heart, making it difficult to break free.


    ¡°Okay, I see, I know myself.¡± Ling Mu pushed him away. The scar on the brow bone seemed to feel hot, and he quickly turned around and ran upstairs.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at his departing back and shook his head helplessly. Forget it, he¡¯ll pay more attention to Ling Mu going forward to try and avoid this from happening. With this in mind, Qiu Zhenyang went back to the kitchen again.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t go to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s room to wash, but waited for Ling Dang to finish before taking a shower.


    The little girl couldn¡¯t wait any longer, so she ran downstairs, and rushed to the kitchen to urge Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Alright, alright, it¡¯s almost done. Ling Dang, help me tidy up the table first, and set up the tableware, okay?¡± Qiu Zhenyang just poured the soup out of the pot, and the braised fish still needs a little more time.


    Ling Dang nodded, and brought the bowls and chopsticks out. In order not to disturb Qiu Zhenyang, she also started up the sweeping robot after arranging the tableware and made it clean the living room.


    When Ling Mu finished showering, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s last dish was finally ready.


    ¡°Okay, it¡¯s time for dinner.¡± Qiu Zhenyang brought out all the dishes, and Ling Mu filled up the bowls with rice.


    After everyone sat down, Ling Dang excitedly stretched out her chopsticks and picked up the most fragrant fish. She liked the fish soup from yesterday very much, which is why Qiu Zhenyang made braised fish today. The fish here is not much different from his previous world, apart from¡­ the color being a bit strange, namely, the fish is green.


    ¡°Ah ah ah, it¡¯s so delicious!¡± After taking a bite, Ling Dang¡¯s eyes lit up, about to jump up with excitement!


    She really admires Brother Qiu so much ¨C he can make such delicious food! It¡¯s a hundred times better than nutritional supplements!


    Qiu Zhenyang was amused by her exaggerated reaction, and gave the little girl a piece of fish belly, and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s good if Ling Dang likes it, I¡¯ll make as much as you want.¡±


    Ling Dang nodded happily, burying her head and bulging cheeks to continue eating.


    Qiu Zhenyang took another chopstick and put the tender meat into Ling Mu¡¯s bowl. He looked up at the surprised look in the young man¡¯s eyes and smiled tenderly. ¡°Ling Mu too, no matter what it is in the future, I¡¯ll make it for you.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes were too gentle and indulgent, making Ling Mu blush, and his chestnut eyes widened. As if annoyed by his own reaction, Ling Mu directly made the same act of burying his head in food as Ling Dang.


    ¡°Pfft¡ª¡± Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help laughing out loud, and then Ling Mu raised his head and gave him two eye rolls.


    After finally suppressing his laughter, Qiu Zhenyang lowered his head to eat. But he couldn¡¯t suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth. Every two bites, he would look up at Ling Mu. The other party seemed to be very satisfied with the food, eating in a hurry, and the corners of his mouth were stained with vegetable juice.


    Qiu Zhenyang stood up slightly, raised his hand over the table, wiped the vegetable juice from the corner of Ling Mu¡¯s mouth with his thumb, then sat back down and put his thumb into his mouth very naturally.


    ¡°F*ck you¡­¡± Ling Mu glared at Qiu Zhenyang shyly and annoyed, even his slender and tender neck turned red all over.


    But when he met Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s inexplicable gaze, he couldn¡¯t say anything. Ah ah ah!


    Ling Dang on the side raised her head, revealing the lower half of her face covered with rice grains and soup, and tilted her head in doubt.


    When the meal was finally finished, Ling Mu was almost dead.


    He stood up abruptly when Ling Dang put down her bowl and chopsticks, and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of the bowls and chopsticks, you can go.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t fight Ling Mu either, knowing that he didn¡¯t like to accept the meal freely, so he went to the living room with Ling Dang to watch TV. After Ling Mu packed up and came out of the kitchen, he went to the kitchen to take out the dessert he made, and put one in front of each person: ¡°This is dessert after dinner, let¡¯s eat it while watching TV.¡±


    Small pieces of fruit adorn the delicate milk ice wafting with the sweet smell of nectar water, tempting one¡¯s fingers to move.


    Ling Dang touched her chubby belly and felt that she could eat a little more, so held the small bowl and directly began eating.


    Ling Mu studied the so-called dessert curiously for a while, then scooped a spoonful into his mouth. After tasting carefully, his eyes suddenly brightened.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who had a panoramic view of Ling Mu¡¯s reaction, heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he liked it very much.


    Ling Mu had eaten dessert when he was in the Lin family. Before, when his mother just married into the Lin family, Ling Mu stayed at the Lin family for a while while the marriage contract with the Qiu family was being negotiated. His food and drink during this time was also very good, but the people of the Lin family had a bad attitude towards them.


    Dessert is something the Lin family eats every time after dinner. There are also many desserts made of fruits, but none could compare to this dessert made by Qiu Zhenyang.


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyes suddenly darkened at the thought, and he quickly solved the entire bowl.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to work. Ling Dang, do your homework well, and I¡¯ll be back later.¡± After bringing the bowl to the kitchen to wash, Ling Mu directly took a backpack and prepared to go out.


    ¡°Work? Did you find a part-time job?¡± Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly got up and settled his own bowl of dessert in two to three bites.


    Ling Mu opened the door: ¡°Yes, I found one.¡±


    ¡°Then wait, I¡¯m also heading to the commercial street. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t care about washing the dishes. After putting the bowl on the coffee table, he hurriedly changed his shoes at the door, and pulled Ling Mu out with him, as if he was afraid that Ling Mu would not bring him along.


    After leaving the dormitory, Qiu Zhenyang followed Ling Mu. Seeing that he was not very comfortable, he took the initiative to find a topic and said, ¡°What job did you find?¡±


    ¡°Waiter.¡± Ling Mu didn¡¯t look sideways.


    Qiu Zhenyang blinked. There are indeed many restaurants on the commercial street. But as far as the cooking level is concerned¡­ Can the food taste delicious?


    He was instantly curious, and planned to go to the store where Ling Mu worked to have a look, and then go to the supermarket.


    Qiu Zhenyang was going to go to the supermarket to look at other ingredients. Although there were a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, some of them were unpalatable and not suitable for cooking at all, so he wanted to go to the supermarket to find some more. He also wants to buy some condiments and fruits, especially since many fruits were eaten in the past two days.


    And because there are kids in the dorm, he wants to buy more healthy snacks. It is necessary to please his sister~


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen the school¡¯s restaurants yet, take me in to see?¡± Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu walked side by side, and because of his height, he could see Ling Mu¡¯s eyelashes on one side. Those long and straight eyelashes were like a brush, which made Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart itch.


    Ling Mu squinted at him and frowned: ¡°You can go see another store.¡±


    ¡°Why? I¡¯ll see how your store is doing, so I can go back and reassure Ling Dang. She¡¯s a good girl; she didn¡¯t say it, but she was worried about you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang used Ling Dang as an excuse without blinking an eye.


    Ling Mu may not care about others, but his younger sister is his weakness. Qiu Zhenyang accurately grasped Ling Mu¡¯s psychology!


    Even Ling Mu couldn¡¯t find any words to refuse. After a bit of awkwardness, he nodded reluctantly: ¡°I¡¯ll take you in, don¡¯t disturb my work.¡±


    ¡°Okay~¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes curved into two arcs. As long as he can see Ling Mu working seriously, anything goes~


    Ling Mu found a part-time job in a beverage shop. Everything is fine. Except¡­ the drinks.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face contorted as he swallowed the drink he had dried, and quietly pushed the cup in his hand away.


    Oh my god! Is this a drink? This is simply drinking Chinese medicine!!


    He raised his hand and waved at Ling Mu, who was not far away. The latter frowned, walked over and lowered his voice and said to Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°What are you doing? Didn¡¯t I say, don¡¯t disturb my work?¡±


    ¡°No, I just want to order a cup of water, ok?¡± Qiu Zhenyang grimaced, looking extremely uncomfortable.


    Ling Mu pursed his lower lip, reluctantly believing his words, and went to the counter to pour a glass of water.


    ¡°Guest, your water.¡± Ling Mu brought the water to Qiu Zhenyang, then added the water to the purchase monitor on the side, and left without saying a word.


    Qiu Zhenyang finished the whole glass of water to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth. Sitting in his seat lost in thought, he checked on Ling Mu¡¯s situation from time to time.


    He is considering whether to open a restaurant here mainly because¡­ the drinks in this beverage store are so bad, but can even have such good business. If he opens a beverage store, it will definitely be better than this one. Ah no, it will be much more popular than all the restaurants on the street!


    There was a sudden noise that disturbed his thoughts. Looking over, Qiu Zhenyang saw someone unexpected.


    Cheng An¡¯an actually worked as a waiter in this store.


    After Qiu Zhenyang entered the store, he sat in a corner and followed Ling Mu the whole time, so he didn¡¯t see Cheng An¡¯an, and didn¡¯t know if he knew he was here.


    When Qiu Zhenyang looked over, he realized something happened to Cheng An¡¯an, and Ling Mu was also standing beside him, with three overturned drinks at their feet. The cups weren¡¯t broken, but those colored drinks were spilled on a customer¡¯s pants and shoes.


    ¡°My pants cost 2,000, and my shoes cost 13,000. What did you spill on me?!¡±


    The cliffy wasn¡¯t intentional! I swears by the preciousss!

 CH 21

    The student wearing expensive clothes came from a well-off family. He was so angry that he stood up to yell at the two of them. His companions also stood up, watching silently.


    ¡°Sorry, sorry, it¡¯s all my fault.¡± Cheng An¡¯an glanced at Ling Mu, took out a towel from his pocket, and squatted down to wipe the boy¡¯s shoes.


    The boy was originally angry, but when he saw Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s face, his attitude changed. He grabbed Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s arm, and gently lifted him up. ¡°It has nothing to do with you. He bumped you. You¡¯re still frightened, and don¡¯t need to apologize.¡±


    Cheng An¡¯an had a delicate face and voice, and the boy, as an alpha, was reluctant to lose his temper with such an omega. Because of Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s beauty, he even wanted to get closer to this beautiful omega. Therefore, the target of his anger directly became Ling Mu, who was standing beside him indifferently.


    ¡°You, ugly monster, it¡¯s okay to look ugly, but you can¡¯t even do such a small thing like serving properly. Why are you wasting air by living?¡± The boy grew even more angry as he saw Ling Mu¡¯s cold eyes. ¡°What, you don¡¯t even have the courage to admit wrongdoing? You have to let someone else take the blame, right? Let me tell you, if you don¡¯t pay me back today, I will let you know the meaning of suffering!¡±


    Ling Mu sneered at the face twisted in anger. ¡°I didn¡¯t bump into him.¡±


    The implication was that this accident was entirely Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s fault, and had nothing to do with him.


    Cheng An¡¯an bit his lip and reddened at his words. Pulling the boy¡¯s arms, he said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, senior, it¡¯s all my fault. Classmate Ling didn¡¯t mean it, don¡¯t blame him. I¡¯ll help you wipe it clean, and as for your clothes, can I take it back and wash it? I really don¡¯t have any money, so don¡¯t be mad at me¡­¡±


    The appearance of a grieving weak beauty apologizing melted the boy¡¯s heart, and he was even more reluctant to see Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s suffering. He turned to comfort him, ¡°I know you didn¡¯t do it on purpose, don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t need your money.¡±


    After saying that, he immediately changed his face and roared at Ling Mu: ¡°Where is your store manager! Call your store manager here! I don¡¯t believe you!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to call anyone, I didn¡¯t touch him.¡± Ling Mu¡¯s eyes were very cold. If it weren¡¯t for keeping this job, he wouldn¡¯t want to even say a few words.


    Qiu Zhenyang watched all this from the corner. His brows were already furrowed, and he was very unhappy.


    Ling Mu is not an irresponsible person. Since he said he didn¡¯t hit Cheng An¡¯an, he must not have hit him. Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t know what was going on with Cheng An¡¯an, but now he was obviously digging a pit for Ling Mu!


    The store manager was in the office, and quickly walked over to the boys and apologized.


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, because of our shop¡¯s negligence, we will compensate you for your trouble!¡± The store manager is a senior beta, and has some management skills, so he could handle this situation proficiently.


    But words alone could not relieve the boy. He stepped forward and grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s collar fiercely, sneering at the store manager. ¡°Compensation? I don¡¯t want your store¡¯s compensation, I want this person to pay! Also, I want him to kneel down and apologize for my shoes, and I don¡¯t want him to appear in this store again in the future!¡±


    This request was obviously excessive, and even the store manager was a little embarrassed.


    ¡°You f*cking let go!¡±


    Ling Mu finally exploded. The tray in his hand hit the boy¡¯s hand holding his collar. The boy let out a pained cry, and his anger deepened. ¡°If he continues working here, this beverage shop will be shut down!¡±


    ¡°Shut down?¡±


    Just when everyone was at a stalemate, Qiu Zhenyang walked over with a sneer with hands in his pockets.


    ¡°Just you? You, a blind and deaf guy, can even threaten to shut them down, I¡¯m afraid you must be dreaming?¡±


    ¡°Who are you saying is blind and deaf?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s appearance surprised everyone, especially Cheng An¡¯an, who looked straight at him with red eyes, looking extremely aggrieved. Those beautiful eyes seemed to be complaining to Qiu Zhenyang, stubbornly swallowing the pain, not daring to express the sourness in his heart.


    Anyhow, seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s suddenly conflicted expression is enough.


    He turned his body, hurriedly focusing his eyes on the boy who was making trouble, raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°You couldn¡¯t have not heard that Ling Mu said he didn¡¯t bump into anyone? Blaming him like this, if you¡¯re not deaf, then what? Are you stupid?¡±


    Ling Mu also saw Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s eyes on Qiu Zhenyang. He pursed his lips, and squeezed the hand holding the plate tightly.


    ¡°You believe what he says? I think he is jealous of how good-looking others are, so he deliberately framed him! After all, there aren¡¯t many guys as ugly as him now. In order to attract the attention of others, he can do anything!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face darkened, and his frown deepened. ¡°Keep your mouth clean.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not clean? Why don¡¯t you say his hands and feet are not clean!¡± The man wanted to show off in front of Cheng An¡¯an, and didn¡¯t want Qiu Zhenyang to steal his limelight, so he did not give in an inch.


    The beta store manager looked left and right and didn¡¯t know how to persuade them. He was thinking about calling the school¡¯s security guard, when Qiu Zhenyang turned to look at him. ¡°Are you the store manager? I see your store has surveillance. Just call up the surveillance and everything will be resolved.¡±


    The store manager was speechless. No matter whether they watched it or not, it was his own waiter who offended the customer ¨C is this necessary?


    But Qiu Zhenyang doesn¡¯t care about this, he only wants to prove Ling Mu¡¯s innocence.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, is it inconvenient?¡± Seeing that the store manager was not moving, Qiu Zhenyang looked at him again.


    Cheng An¡¯an, who was on the side, gently tugged at the boy¡¯s sleeve with a pale face, and forced a smile. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. No need to trouble the store manager to retrieve the recording, I¡¯ll pay you back.¡±


    Then he returned to Qiu Zhenyang, and said: ¡°Zhenyang, you too, don¡¯t make trouble. The store manager works very hard, don¡¯t bother him.¡±


    Zhenyang??? What the hell???


    Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly walked a few steps closer to Ling Mu, hooked his arm as if to prove his innocence, frowned and said to Cheng An¡¯an, ¡°Why are you acting so intimate? We¡¯re just classmates. Also, this person is obviously looking for trouble and disrupting business. I just asked your store manager to check the monitoring to block his mouth, how can you call it making trouble?¡±


    Ling Mu, whose arm was suddenly hooked, his heart skipped a beat. He didn¡¯t know why but he didn¡¯t want to break free and simply went along with Qiu Zhenyang.


    As for Cheng An¡¯an, his face paled further, and he said with a wry smile: ¡°Ah, I thought we were still close with our one-year friendship¡­ I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    He lowered his head, and that reluctant smile made people feel distressed.


    The boy and the store manager couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, while Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face wrinkled.


    In the end, the store manager still didn¡¯t retrieve the surveillance, mainly because Cheng An¡¯an admitted his mistake wholeheartedly, and begged the boy to stop embarrassing others. In order to win Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s favor, the boy also pretended to be generous and said that he would not pursue it, and finally asked for Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s terminal number.


    After sending the customers away, the store manager sighed with his hands on his hips and said to Cheng An¡¯an, ¡°Go inside and rest first. There are not many people now, so you can come out later.¡±


    Cheng An¡¯an said thank you, and before leaving, dragged a glance at Qiu Zhenyang, but the latter didn¡¯t even give him half a look.


    After turning around, Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s expression changed immediately, and he frowned.


    After the school test, Qiu Zhenyang never looked for him once, but he delivered water to Ling Mu in front of so many people, which made Cheng An¡¯an worried. Cheng An¡¯an knew what happened between Ling Mu and him. Their engagement was broken, so what are they doing now?


    That is to say, in order to understand Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s attitude, Cheng An¡¯an thought of this method when he came out of the lounge and saw Ling Mu bring Qiu Zhenyang into the store.


    But the truth was completely different from what he imagined. Qiu Zhenyang actually stood on Ling Mu¡¯s side! Why did Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s attitude towards him change so much? Is it really related to that Ling Mu?


    With this question in mind, Cheng An went to the lounge absentmindedly.


    ¡°Ling Mu, can you change your temper? You told me that you had a lot of part-time experience, and that you were in urgent need of money, so I promised you could work part-time here. Otherwise, do you really think I¡¯m short of manpower?¡±


    The store manager was very unhappy. Although he didn¡¯t judge people by their appearance, he was very dissatisfied with Ling Mu¡¯s attitude towards the customers just now. They are originally in the service industry, and such people who do not know how to work are really disgusting.


    Ling Mu had already wrenched his arm from Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand, and said with a stiff face, ¡°If it¡¯s my fault, I will apologize.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, do you still think it¡¯s not your fault? Do I have to call up the surveillance camera before you can admit it?¡±


    ¡°I said that I didn¡¯t bump into him, how many times do you want me to say it?¡±


    Ling Mu originally had a fiery temperament that would explode when touched. Even when he restrained himself when facing the customers just now, his fists were clenched.


    Part-time work is part-time work, he doesn¡¯t need to bear the fault of others! What he sells is service and labor, not dignity! There is no need to cater to unreasonable guests!


    Qiu Zhenyang stopped Ling Mu and said to the store manager, ¡°I suggest you call up the surveillance camera and take a good look at it. Forcing someone¡¯s head down to apologize shouldn¡¯t it be the style of a good store manager, right?


    The pair singing and dancing made the manager even more angry. Grabbing the serving tray in Ling Mu¡¯s hand, he raised his hand and pointed to the door: ¡°Okay, you have a backbone, you are right! No need to come in to work tomorrow, our little store can¡¯t hold you, this big buddha!¡±


    ??Ling Mu directly released his pent-up anger, directly tearing off the uniform he wore over his shirt, threw it on the table, and walked out.


    Qiu Zhenyang shouted a few times, but the guy didn¡¯t listen at all, so he could only tell the store manager, ¡°Even if he left, you still need to pay Ling Mu for today¡¯s salary.¡±


    Annoyed by the cheeky Qiu Zhenyang, the store manager directly transferred a sum of money to Ling Mu¡¯s account through the terminal, and said angrily to Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°Fine! Now get out!¡±


    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t be so angry, business is booming~¡± Qiu Zhenyang was satisfied. With a big smile on his face, he waved his hand, and left.


    QZY: Mumu, is innocent! I¡¯ll fight you!


    CAA: QZY, help~


    QZY: Who are you?


    QZY: Mumu, Mumu, I¡¯m on your side!

    After leaving the store, Qiu Zhenyang saw Ling Mu¡¯s figure and immediately followed.


    ¡°Why are you running so fast? They didn¡¯t pay your salary?¡± Slowing down his steps beside Ling Mu, Qiu Zhenyang turned his head to look at his face, and saw he really angry.


    Qiu Zhenyang scratched his cheeks, thought for a while, and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t work, that¡¯s fine. There are other jobs.¡±


    Ling Mu took a few deep breaths, and the haze on his face lightened. ¡°No more.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°Ah?¡±


    Ling Mu squinted at Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°Other stores are full, no more.¡±


    So full so fast? This is the second day of school!


    Just as Qiu Zhenyang was about to ask, out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a waiter at the door of a store behind him who was inviting customers. It was an omega with a cute look and a sweet smile. He stood at the door like a signboard, seductive and eye-catching.


    It¡¯s not just him, other stores had similar good looking people in front and working as waiters. The academy is full of talented people, and there is no shortage of good-looking people. In order to attract customers, appearance is an indispensable condition. Ling Mu¡¯s appearance is not liked by the public, so it¡¯s no wonder for something to happen.


    It¡¯s not like Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s previous world, where people work in the back kitchen. Now food and drink are made by specially programmed robots, as are tasks like dishwashing, etc. There is no behind-the-scenes work that Ling Mu can do.


    Thinking of this, Qiu Zhenyang felt a little uncomfortable, looked at Ling Mu and said, ¡°Then what are you going to do now?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a boxing club looking for a sparring partner, I¡¯ll give it a shot.¡± Ling Mu raised his backpack on his shoulders, his expression was indifferent, as if it wasn¡¯t a big deal.


    He had actually considered this part-time job before, but he didn¡¯t choose it because he was afraid that his sister would see too many scars. Now he has no choice but to take up this job.


    ¡°Sparring? What are you thinking, I won¡¯t allow it!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face darkened immediately, and his voice raised several decibels.


    Ling Mu looked at him suspiciously. ¡°Why don¡¯t you allow it!¡±


    ¡°Just because you are my omega!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang puffed out his chest, but Ling Mu glared at him.


    ¡°F*ck! You¡¯re talking shit! Do you f*cking know it¡¯s outside?¡±


    ¡°Eh? So I can say it in the dorms? Xiao Mumu, you¡¯re so nice~¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s cheeks flushed instantly. Gritting his teeth, he directly swung a fist and hit Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hard chest.


    ¡­ Damn, his hand really hurts.


    Qiu Zhenyang pretended to cover his chest and coughed a few times, faking a pitiful expression. ¡°Xiao Mumu, how can you bear to hit me, I am sincere to you, even the world knows!¡±


    Ling Mu retracted his fist and moved forward irritably. ¡°F*ck your heart, who the hell is your omega. If you want one so much, why don¡¯t you chase after that one?¡±


    ¡°I have nothing to do with him, I only recognize you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang immediately expressed his sincerity and extended his hand and made an oath.


    ¡°What do I have to do with your relationship with him? F*ck off, stay away from me.¡±


    Seeing that, Qiu Zhenyang quickened his pace, his long legs effortlessly followed, and he lost his skin, and said, ¡°How about you go to the supermarket with me? Ling Dang seems to like eating cauliflower and fish. Let¡¯s buy some more, and buy some seasonings.¡±


    Thinking of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s cooking for him and his sister these two days, Ling Mu pursed his lower lip and went to the supermarket with Qiu Zhenyang.


    Going to the supermarket here does not require much physical effort. One only needs to browse through items on a machine in the hall, select what they need, and pay. In less than a minute, the output port under the machine will have bags filled with goods handed out.


    Qiu Zhenyang ordered things as he browsed through the introductions and pictures of the food products. He chose a lot of things, all of which were ingredients and seasonings for the dishes.


    Ling Mu watched from the side. He doesn¡¯t know anything about cooking, and was very curious as to why a young master like Qiu Zhenyang likes to cook. His craftsmanship was so good that even he couldn¡¯t help marveling at the delicious food his sister talked about all day.


    ¡°Do you have anything to buy?¡± After Qiu Zhenyang finished choosing his things, he turned to look at Ling Mu.


    The two of them stood so close that Qiu Zhenyang could smell the faint fragrance of flowers on Ling Mu¡¯s body.


    ¡°No, are you done?¡± Ling Mu stared at the screen, not noticing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s gaze.


    ¡°You¡­the pheromone is the fragrance of flowers, what kind of flower?¡± Qiu Zhenyang asked in a strange way, his eyes fixed on Ling Mu¡¯s long eyelashes.


    Although the smell of each person¡¯s pheromone is not a secret, the meaning is quite ambiguous when someone like Qiu Zhenyang inquires in private.


    Ling Mu raised his head and his heart seemed to skip a beat when he met Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s dark eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s there to ask?¡± He quickly lowered his head, and his eyes fell on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s slender fingers. That hand is as perfect as the owner¡¯s face, slender and fair, with distinct joints, making him feel the urge to reach over and feel.


    Qiu Zhenyang also knew about pheromones, so he smiled and said, ¡°Just satisfy my curiosity, okay? Let me first say that my pheromone tastes like sunshine, like a quilt that has been exposed to the sun. It¡¯s very warm~¡±


    Ling Mu frowned in disgust: ¡°Isn¡¯t that the smell of mite corpses, what¡¯s so special.¡±


    ¡°Ah? Ahh??¡±


    Mites? Corpses? What the f*ck?


    This description instantly petrified Qiu Zhenyang, and his whole body didn¡¯t feel well!


    ¡°Xiao Mumu, please let me go! How can you be so poisonous! How can I face my own pheromones in the future!!!¡± Qiu Zhenyang collapsed, wanting to cry but had no tears!


    Seeing his tangled and miserable expression, Ling Mu laughed out loud.


    This guy looks so stupid, he can¡¯t help it.


    At the same time, Qiu Zhenyang, who was still broken, stared at Ling Mu¡¯s face. He always thought that Ling Mu was very good-looking and handsome. But seeing his smiling expression now for the first time, his heart throbbed, the beating rhythm amplifying in his ears, like a dancing villain rejoicing.


    He really, really wanted to be the source of Ling Mu¡¯s happiness, and see his smile every day.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s direct gaze made Ling Mu a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and restrained his smile. He opened his terminal and swiped: ¡°You¡¯ve finished choosing, right? Then I¡¯ll pay.¡±


    ¡°Wait!¡± Qiu Zhenyang stopped him immediately. ¡°I¡¯m paying.¡±


    Ling Mu pulled his hand away and insisted: ¡°I accept you cooking for us, but I have to buy the ingredients.¡±


    He doesn¡¯t like to owe others, and can still afford these dishes for the time being. As for how to earn living expenses later, he can think of ways.


    Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s insistence, Qiu Zhenyang no longer stopped him, just thinking that the next time he buys ingredients, he should buy them online. He understands Ling Mu¡¯s psychology, but he also doesn¡¯t want him to work harder because of money.


    ¡°Okay, then thank you, I will cook more delicious dishes for you and Ling Dang to eat when I go back~¡±


    It was getting dark now, and the two of them walked back with their bags. There were many people on their way back to the dorms, many of whom peeked over because Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s appearance was too dazzling. Ling Mu wanted to keep some distance from him, but the latter always stuck to him.


    ¡°Hey, Zhenyang, what are you doing?¡±


    When approaching the dormitory area, they ran into Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled and raised his hand to say hello. ¡°I just went to the commercial street. Did you two just come out of the gym? Your hair is wet.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, we came out after taking a bath. Hey, isn¡¯t this¡­¡± Yuan Chenyu When he saw Ling Mu, he froze for a while, and then raised his chin at Qiu Zhenyang.


    Zhuo Hang was the first to introduce himself to Ling Mu in a friendly manner: ¡°My name is Zhuo Hang, and I¡¯m a friend of Zhenyang.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu followed: ¡°Me too, my name is Yuan Chenyu, you can call me Ayu.¡±


    ¡°Ayu your head!¡± Qiu Zhenyang pushed him. Ling Mu calls him by his full name, and to call him Ayu? That¡¯s absurd!


    Ling Mu had almost no friends, so he didn¡¯t know how to respond when faced with such a scene, and wanted to run away in embarrassment. But when Qiu Zhenyang looked at him with worry, intentionally or unintentionally, Ling Mu didn¡¯t know why, but the psychological pressure suddenly lightened a lot, and the thought of leaving gradually disappeared.


    When Qiu Zhenyang and Yuan Chenyu finished laughing and sparring and looked at him, Ling Mu finally sorted out his mood and said, ¡°My name is Ling Mu.¡±


    The smile at the corner of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth widened, and he happily grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s neck, and showed off. ¡°Let¡¯s introduce it formally, this is my wife!¡±


    ¡°Assh*le, go away!¡± Punching Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s stomach, Ling Mu glared fiercely, and then directly walked away with the bags.


    ¡°Pfft¡ªhahahahaha! He has a personality, hahaha, I¡¯m laughing to death!¡± Yuan Chenyu laughed outright, propped on Zhuo Hang¡¯s shoulder, laughing until he was out of breath.


    Zhuo Hang was not much better, he laughed until tears came out.


    It was really rare for them to see Qiu Zhenyang deflated. How could they not laugh at such an interesting scene?


    Qiu Zhenyang on the side rubbed his abdominal muscles and gritted his teeth at the two of them. ¡°Why are you laughing! What¡¯s so funny? You might be even worse than me when you chase your wives in the future!¡±


    Zhuo Hang still raised his eyebrows and asked Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°I didn¡¯t see you like this when I was chasing Cheng An¡¯an before, why, you really want to make someone your wife?¡±


    Yuan Chenyu also touched his chin: ¡°Although his personality is very interesting, but look at him. He may be even harder to chase than Cheng An¡¯an~¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang punched each of them, walking towards the dorms, and said as he walked, ¡°Don¡¯t compare him to Cheng An¡¯an. No matter how difficult it is, I will chase him.¡±


    Zhuo Hang nodded and patted Qiu Zhenyang on the shoulder to give encouragement, Yuan Chenyu also made an ¡®ok¡¯ to express his understanding.


    The trio walked shoulder to shoulder, and their handsome faces and vigorous bodies attracted the attention of many people on the road.


    While walking, Qiu Zhenyang suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯m going to open a milk tea shop in the commercial street. You two help me find a shop, and I¡¯ll go order a batch of programming robots.¡±


    Ling Mu was bullied. Qiu Zhenyang felt very annoyed. He couldn¡¯t allow Ling Mu to be a sparring partner, so the best way was to open a shop and hire Ling Mu. This way he can ensure Ling Mu¡¯s working environment, and also give him more remuneration according to selfishness.


    ¡°Milk tea shop? What the hell, what is milk tea?¡± Yuan Chenyu had question marks all over his head, not knowing what Qiu Zhenyang was talking about.


    Zhuo Hang was also confused, not knowing what Qiu Zhenyang was talking about.


    ¡°Ah, it¡¯s just a drink,¡± Qiu Zhenyang patted his forehead, remembering that there is no such thing as milk tea here. ¡°I researched it out of boredom, and it¡¯s delicious. And it¡¯s not just drinks, but there¡¯s also fried chicken and other snacks to be made and sold.¡±


    As the second son of the Qiu family, Qiu Zhenyang has a lot of pocket money. Although it is not enough for big things, but there is no pressure to open up a milk tea shop.


    QZY: Mumu, Mumu what do you smell like? I smell like sunshine, isn¡¯t it good?


    LM: F*ck, go away you pungent mite corpse carrier.


    QZY: ©B( o¦¤o )©B


    [Us: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! ]

 CH 23

    Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu were stunned, and asked in unison, ¡°You can cook?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows: ¡°What, don¡¯t believe me? I¡¯ll make some tonight when I go back, and bring it for you  guys to taste tomorrow morning.¡±


    Milk tea is super easy to make. It only needs tea and milk, and then add sugar. Because he had this idea after leaving the store with Ling Mu, he bought these things from the supermarket just now, and could make it after returning to the dorm.


    ¡°Okay, if it¡¯s as delicious as you say, we¡¯ll help you open a shop together.¡±


    After coming to an agreement, the three parted ways, and went back to their own dorms.


    Ling Mu had already gone back to his bedroom after returning, so Qiu Zhenyang went into the kitchen and began to think about the recipes he might use to open the shop.


    In his old world, milk tea, fried chicken, and other items were very popular. Although Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t eat such things much, he still knew how to prepare them. After all, it¡¯s easy to see a lot of videos teaching how to make it when browsing videos online.


    The tea leaves here are not used to make tea, but used as seasoning. The shape and size are also quite different; each piece is about the size of a banana leaf fan.


    Qiu Zhenyang washed the whole piece of tea first, then cut it into pieces, and then soaked in boiling hot water. After the water turns brown, add the appropriate amount of milk and sugar, stir, turn down the heat, and let it sit for a while.


    In the end, he never studied milk tea creation in depth, and only knows the approximate steps. He still needs to see how it tastes afterwards.


    After the milk tea was ready, Qiu Zhenyang took two sips. Although not as good as those made by milk tea shops in his original world, the taste was quite good. As someone not interested in dessert drinks, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t think much more.


    The milk tea was prepared in several glass bottles and stored in the refrigerator. Ling Mu and Ling Dang each have their own bottle tomorrow, and the rest will be given to Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu.


    After finishing the milk tea, Qiu Zhenyang also made a few fried chicken legs. The chicken here is quite normal, and the taste was also very good, crispy and delicious. He put the dinner leftovers along with two fried chicken legs, into an insulated box bought at the supermarket for Ling Dang to bring to school tomorrow. This way she won¡¯t need to drink nutritional supplements.


    Having prepared everything, Qiu Zhenyang stretched out and went upstairs. After showering, he fell asleep peaceful.


    The next morning, Ling Dang, who got the insulation box, was really excited. She hugged Qiu Zhenyang and rubbed it several times before she was finally willing to go with Ling Mu. He also gave Ling Mu some fried chicken and milk tea, but Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t prepare lunch for him, because everyone ate lunch in the cafeteria during military training.


    Qiu Zhenyang brought the remaining milk tea and fried chicken to class. As soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious, you really made this?¡± Yuan Chenyu¡¯s eyes lit up at the smell of fried chicken. He grabbed the box of fried chicken from Qiu Zhenyang, opened it, took out a piece, and gnawed it. After that, his whole face glowed!


    Zhuo Hang looked suspiciously at Yuan Chenyu¡¯s expression, and took another piece from the insulation box.


    ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s delicious! I¡¯ve never eaten something so delicious!¡±


    The two who grew up eating interstellar food went crazy. Grabbing the box in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arms, they squatted in the corner, madly biting and fighting over the food!


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help laughing, and unscrewed the milk tea bottle and handed it over. ¡°Eat slowly, no one will rob you. After eating, remember to tell me what you think. Remember to wipe your hands and mouth with a tissue later, your mouths are full of oil.¡±


    Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu nodded while eating, and after taking a sip of the iced milk tea, their expressions seemed to go to heaven.


    Their crazy looks attracted the attention of a few well-connected boys in the class. They also followed, stealing the last few fried chicken pieces from the box that didn¡¯t have much to begin with, and were almost beaten by Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu.


    ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s so delicious, what¡¯s this?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never eaten something so delicious! Where is it sold? Tell me the address quickly, I¡¯m going to buy out that store!¡±


    ¡°Uuuuu, do you have any more, give me another one, brother!¡±


    Seeing the classmates who were gnawing on chicken bones and screaming, Qiu Zhenyang knew that the store he was about to open would definitely be very popular.


    He was harassed by his classmates for a whole day because of the fried chicken and milk tea. Qiu Zhenyang was exhausted after returning home. At the same time, he also began to think about the machines and decorations needed to open the store. Finding an appropriate location is left to Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu, who were anxiously waiting for Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s store to open so they could eat and drink.


    Military training flew by as they prepared for the milk tea shop¡¯s opening.


    The military training here only lasts a week. After all, whether it is everyday security management or battles with other interstellar planets, most conflicts rely on mechas, so everyone pays more attention to spiritual training rather than physical fitness.


    After getting along this week, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s relationship with Ling Mu and Ling Dang has improved a lot, especially with the little Ling Dang. The two almost reached a PY deal1PY deal = butt trading friendship. It¡¯s a joke here to reference how close they are without Ling Mu.


    After the military training ended night, both Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Dang went back to their rooms, and Ling Mu was left to wash the dishes.


    As soon as he returned to the room, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t wait to open the terminal and clicked on Ling Dang¡¯s terminal number.


    Qiuqiu hugs the wooden dumpling:2QZY¡¯s display name is a reference to him hugging LM. Qiuqiu = QZY. Wooden = Mu for LM. How is it?


    Ling Dang is not a bell: Taking now!


    Qiuqiu hugs the wooden dumpling: Take a clear picture!


    Ling Dang is not a bell: [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]¡­


    Qiuqiu hugs the wooden dumpling: Well done!


    Ling Dang is not a bell: Five servings of fried chicken, slightly spicy, thank you (*^¨Œ^*)


    Qiuqiu hugs the wooden dumpling: Eating that much? Are you a pig?


    Ling Dang is not a bell: Why hasn¡¯t my brother come up yet, his terminal seems to be dead, and he can¡¯t close the page~ [Bronze Bell Big Eyes.jpg]


    Qiu Qiu hugs the wooden dumpling: ¡­ I¡¯m a pig, called Brother Pig. Wait a moment, I¡¯ll go down and make five fried chicken for you.


    Ling Dang is not a bell: Thank you, Brother Pig~ [Cute.jpg]


    Qiu Zhenyang closed the chat with Ling Dang and opened the pictures he had just obtained with much difficulty.


    They shows Ling Mu¡¯s elective course schedule for this semester. Unlike other universities, Interstellar Academy does not have major classes, but consists of a unified basic course plus other elective major courses. Schedules are much freer, and students can take whatever interests them. Basic courses are taken on Mondays and Tuesdays, with students assigned a class, while elective specialized courses with mixed genders are from Wednesday to Friday, and students can choose any electives they want.


    Qiu Zhenyang zoomed in on the picture and took a look. The courses Ling Mu applied for were: Modern and Modern History of Mecha, Research on Mecha Components, Theory of Mecha Attack and Defense, and Mecha Practice.


    ¡°Sure enough, they¡¯re all about mecha-related courses.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled, opened his terminal, and selected the same courses and teachers as Ling Mu.


    The processing speed of the Interstellar Academy is one of the best. After submitting the selection before 8 pm, the course time and classroom arrangement will come out directly after half an hour.


    Qiu Zhenyang wandered downstairs with satisfaction, whistling and making five fried chickens for Ling Dang.


    When they went to class in Class A1 the next day, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu also brought good news to Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°You found one?¡± Qiu Zhenyang was quite surprised by their speed. After all, the competition for store space on the academy¡¯s commercial street has always been very hot. Many people who want to open a store have no choice but to give up.


    Yuan Chenyu raised his head proudly: ¡°That¡¯s right, you don¡¯t even look at who¡¯s in charge!¡±


    Zhuo Hang couldn¡¯t help slapping him in the face, and said to Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°This guy¡¯s uncle is a professor in the school. Because of this, we found out that there was a store with a good location that wasn¡¯t going to renew the lease due to poor management, so we spent some money to let him move out in advance.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu grabbed Zhuo Hang¡¯s hand, and beamed at Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°You don¡¯t have to pay us back the money, just give us VIP membership. When we come to eat in the future, you can¡¯t charge us money!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang shrugged noncommittally, sighing in his heart that he is indeed a young master with a background.


    Ah, yes, he is also a great young master now, hehe.


    ¡°What are you smiling at?¡± Yuan Chenyu looked puzzled.


    ¡°Cough, it¡¯s nothing, let¡¯s go to class.¡± Watching the teacher walk in from the door, Qiu Zhenyang concealed the boredom from taking basic classes the past two days.


    On the third morning, Qiu Zhenyang was finally excited, and his face was radiant, as if injected with chicken blood.


    When Ling Mu sent Ling Dang out, Qiu Zhenyang went out with them as well.


    ¡°Why are you following us?¡± Ling Mu looked at Qiu Zhenyang who was walking beside Ling Dang, and always felt that something was wrong with him today.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I got up early and had nothing to do, so I wanted to send Ling Dang off as well.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled.


    Ling Dang, who was sandwiched between the two, made a face at Qiu Zhenyang.


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡±


    He didn¡¯t own the road, so Ling Mu had no reason to drive away Qiu Zhenyang, and could only acquiesce.


    After sending Ling Dang to the bus, the two walked from the gate to the teaching building.


    ¡°Oh yes, what class are you taking today?¡± Qiu Zhenyang asked casually.


    Ling Mu looked at his course schedule on the terminal, and replied, ¡°Mecha parts research class.¡±


    ¡°What a coincidence!¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled and turned his head. ¡°I also chose this. Let¡¯s go together~¡±


    He also chose this?


    Ling Mu looked at him suspiciously, but didn¡¯t say anything. He went to the mecha teaching building with him in silence all the way.


    It wasn¡¯t until the door of the class that Ling Mu realized that Qiu Zhenyang had chosen the same teacher as him.


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang smiling at him and saying, ¡°Our thoughts really are connected¡±, Ling Mu frowned, feeling the strangeness in his heart grow bigger.


    Is there such a coincidence?


    No, LM, there¡¯s no such coincidence!!!

 CH 24

    The more coincidental thing is yet to come ¨C Cheng An¡¯an also took the same course and the same teacher as them.


    When Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu walked into the classroom side by side, Cheng An¡¯an, who was sitting at the big table near the door, looked up and saw them. Ji Qing, who was beside him, also saw them, and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°An¡¯an, isn¡¯t that Qiu Zhenyang? ¡°


    Because alphas, betas, and omega were mixed in the classroom, everyone was more cautious. Although Ji Qing¡¯s voice was not loud, many people heard it, and their gossiping eyes peered over.


    Qiu Zhenyang paused uncomfortably, while Ling Mu next to him walked straight to the back seat without turning.


    ¡°Xiao Mumu, wait for me!¡± Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly followed, but he almost bumped into Ling Mu¡¯s back.


    ¡°What did you call me?¡± Ling Mu turned to stare at him, his eyes fierce.


    ¡°I¡­ um, I called you Ling Mu, hahaha.¡± Qiu Zhenyang laughed awkwardly. After calling him that for a week in the dorm, he got used to it. At first, Ling Mu beat him every time, but later he got tired of it, and didn¡¯t bother. As a result, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t change his words for a while.


    Hearing Qiu Zhenyang correct his speech, Ling Mu snorted coldly. Tugging the backpack straps on his shoulders, he continued to walk to the long table at the back of the classroom and sat down. Qiu Zhenyang naturally followed.


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang following Ling Mu, Cheng An¡¯an seemed calm, but in fact his hands under the table were already clenched into fists.


    The mecha parts research course, as the name suggests, is a course to study mecha parts. Because of the particularity of the course, in order to allow students to more fully observe and study real mecha, students are divided into groups. One hundred people are divided into ten groups of ten.


    The teacher first introduced himself to everyone, briefly introduced the course, and then started grouping them.


    ¡°There are two boxes here, everyone will come up to draw. Whichever number they pick will be your corresponding group and table.¡± The teacher put two boxes in front, and everyone went up to draw lots one after another.


    Qiu Zhenyang followed Ling Mu and took one, and when Ling Mu turned around and opened the note, he took a quiet glance.


    Oh wow, 7.


    Qiu Zhenyang opened the note in his hand and took a look.


    2.


    Pooh!


    Qiu Zhenyang suddenly closed the note in his hand again. Seeing that Ling Mu had already gone to table 7, he quickly followed.


    In the aisle, he saw a few classmates who were also walking towards table 7. Qiu Zhenyang approached an alpha who was in his class and pressed his shoulder: ¡°Hey buddy, what¡¯s your number?¡±


    The alpha was a little puzzled: ¡°7.¡±


    ¡°Come, come, change it with me¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang quickly handed his note, and at the same time gave a benefit, ¡°I¡¯ll bring you fried chicken on Monday.¡±


    Hearing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s offer, the boy¡¯s eyes lit up immediately. As if he was afraid that he would regret it, he snatched the note from Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s palm, and shoved his own note over. ¡°It¡¯s a promise. Bring me fried chicken and a bottle of milk tea!¡±


    Since Qiu Zhenyang brought the fried chicken and milk tea during the military training, the whole class has been thinking about it. Those who were fortunate enough to try told people how delicious it was every day, making many drool from the descriptions. They begged Qiu Zhenyang to make it a little more, but Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t do anything, and even Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu couldn¡¯t eat any.


    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Qiu Zhenyang promised. As long as they can change groups, anything goes~


    Holding the exchanged note, Qiu Zhenyang walked over to table 7 with satisfaction, and sat down beside Ling Mu triumphantly.


    ¡°Oh, what a coincidence, you¡¯re also in group 7!¡±


    Ling Mu glanced at the person who had a secret deal with Qiu Zhenyang. He saw everything just now¡­


    Rolling his eyes silently, Ling Mu chose to ignore him.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was ignored, was in a good mood and leaned back in the chair to watch the remaining classmates still drawing lots and looking for their seats.It wasn¡¯t until someone walked to the table and sat down next to Qiu Zhenyang that the latter finally stopped smiling.


    ¡°What a coincidence.¡±


    Cheng An¡¯an smiled at Qiu Zhenyang, gentle and pleasant.


    Qiu Zhenyang glanced at him, and said without a smile, ¡°What coincidence. It¡¯s only a one-tenth chance, how is it a coincidence?¡±


    Ling Mu raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.


    Cheng An¡¯an lowered his eyes, brushed the hair from his ear, smiled and said nothing.


    After everyone was divided into groups, the teacher first used the virtual screen to introduce some simple parts to everyone, explaining materials and combination methods in detail, and then let everyone begin hands-on practice.


    When the teacher¡¯s voice fell, the center of the table lowered, and a miniature teaching mecha rose up. Although the teaching mecha has shrunk down a lot, it is still very large, and everyone stood up and observed.


    ¡°You can disassemble the external parts of the mecha by yourself. The first-level detachable parts I just mentioned are relatively simple. Everyone can try it.


    Table 7 consists of five alphas, three omegas, and two betas.


    ¡°Wow, this is the first time I¡¯ve touched the mecha. It¡¯s so handsome.¡± Ji Qing, who was grouped with Cheng An¡¯an, looked at the mecha in front of him excitedly, and couldn¡¯t wait to touch it.


    Cheng An¡¯an smiled at him, but when he turned around, the corner of his eye was on Qiu Zhenyang.


    He pursed his lips, and moved his hand on the mecha¡¯s leg to the right, just within Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s line of sight.


    The fair and slender arms appeared in the eyes, and the skin that would be bruised once touched was smooth and dazzling, which made people yearn to reach out. Qiu Zhenyang paused for a moment, then quietly turned his body towards Ling Mu.


    Cheng An¡¯an pursed his lower lip, and his hands exerted force.


    With a click, the armor on the knees was torn off.


    ¡°Oh, An¡¯an, be careful. Didn¡¯t the teacher say that the parts at the joints should not be moved for the time being. Our level is too low to try.¡± Ji Qing was startled by Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s action and called out directly, causing people looked up at them.


    ¡°Ah, I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to.¡± Cheng An¡¯an quickly bowed his head and apologized to everyone.


    An alpha named Wang Shuo glanced at it, waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. We¡¯re going to learn it all in the future, so it¡¯s ok to take it apart first and have a look. It¡¯ll be fine, we can find a teacher later.¡±


    Cheng An¡¯an smiled at him gratefully. Wang Shuo only felt sweet in his heart, and he couldn¡¯t hold back the smile on his face.


    The alpha on the side leaned over and smiled at Wang Shuo: ¡°Yo, hooking up with the class flower of class O1? Look at you.¡±


    Wang Shuo kicked him and glanced at Cheng An¡¯an in embarrassment.


    ¡°What are you talking about, we have nothing to do with each other! Besides,¡± Wang Shuo¡¯s smile dropped a little, and his eyes moved to Qiu Zhenyang beside Cheng An¡¯an, ¡°It seems that he has a boyfriend back from high school.¡±


    Wang Shuo¡¯s voice was not too small, and everyone at the same table could hear it. For a while, except for Cheng An¡¯an and Ling Mu, everyone else¡¯s eyes focused on Qiu Zhenyang.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expressionless face was full of sarcasm. Wang Shuo clearly felt the pressure of his mental power when he raised his eyes.


    ¡°You misunderstood.¡± Just when Qiu Zhenyang was about to speak, Cheng An¡¯an took the lead in saying, ¡°I have nothing to do with Zhenyang, ah no, I have nothing to do with classmate Qiu, just a slightly better relationship.¡±


    Wang Shuo He closed his mouth and stopped talking. Looking at the alpha beside him, he buried his head and didn¡¯t say more.


    The rest of the group also immersed themselves in their work, and the group quieted down for a while.


    Qiu Zhenyang was very upset when Cheng An¡¯an robbed his opportunity to explain. After all, those things were done by the original body, and he couldn¡¯t deny it. He could only get closer to Ling Mu, and take a deep breath of the floral fragrance beside him, and try to calm down his beating heart.


    Originally there wouldn¡¯t be anything to do, but in less than ten minutes, Cheng An¡¯an had already dismantled three parts, which the teacher didn¡¯t talk about today.


    A beta complained a few words in a low voice, and was immediately refuted by Wang Shuo: ¡°Everyone is touching a mecha for the first time, and it is inevitable that they will make mistakes. Do you have to be so harsh?¡±


    The scolded beta fell silent.


    Cheng An¡¯an apologized and said that he would focus elsewhere. As a result, he ran directly to Ling Mu¡¯s side, and just touched the part Ling Mu had just installed.


    ¡°Are you f*cking sick? If you don¡¯t know, don¡¯t make trouble, scram!¡± The grumpy Ling Mu scolded directly.


    When Cheng An¡¯an messed around before, he didn¡¯t provoke him. But now he ran to his side to make trouble, Ling Mu can¡¯t tolerate it any longer!


    ¡°You are an omega, why do you have such a stinky mouth!¡± Wang Shuo suddenly shouted. ¡°Things you haven¡¯t learned require more reading and practice, what kind of attitude is this.¡±


    Several other alphas also helped speak up.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, just let it go if you can¡¯t pretend. What are you complaining about?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t blame others for sucking.¡±


    ¡­


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t bother fighting them, and spit out one phrase: ¡±A bunch of idiots.¡±


    ¡°Who are you talking about? Ah, who are you talking about!¡± Wang Shuo was determined to help Cheng An¡¯an speak, so that he could have a good impression in front of him. He suddenly felt he had lost face from being scolded, and shoved the person beside him and rushed over.


    Cheng An¡¯an stood in front of Ling Mu in a panic, and said to Wang Shuo, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s all my fault, don¡¯t be angry!¡±


    Then he turned around and apologized to Ling Mu, aggrieved. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault, it¡¯s my fault, I¡¯m too stupid, I¡¯m sorry, classmate Ling Mu¡­¡±


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t care about him, and shook his fist at Wang Shuo through Cheng An¡¯an: ¡°It¡¯s you who said it. Whining and complaining, let me hit you!¡±


    The good class was disrupted by Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s actions, making Ling Mu the target of public criticism. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s forehead furrowed as he stood beside Ling Mu and picked up Wang Shuo¡¯s collar in the process.


    ¡°Is there something wrong with your brain? Is your judgment so poor? Can¡¯t you see who the troublemaker is?¡± Qiu Zhenyang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a red light appeared in his black eyes. ¡°If you want to fight, go outside, I will accompany you, but if I hear you say something to Ling Mu again, I¡¯ll make you eat shit!¡±


    CAA, does slapping yourself in the face hurt?

    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s aura was too strong. Wang Shuo opened his mouth and could only stammer out: ¡°It¡¯s clearly him¡­¡±


    Ling Mu was so angry at this moment, he grabbed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arm and tried to pull him away. ¡°You get out of the way. I¡¯ll do it myself, I¡¯m going to beat this idiot to death!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was enraged a moment ago, immediately softened his stance when Ling Mu pulled him. Turning his head helplessly, he looked at the angry Ling Mu who hadn¡¯t managed to pull him away after a long time. ¡°Calm down, this kind of idiot is not worth you making a move. Let me do it.¡±


    His doting tone was completely different from the one earlier. Let alone Ling Mu, even Wang Shuo was astonished. The others at the table looked at each other in dismay.


    ¡°Damn, what the hell¡­¡±


    Wang Shuo felt he lost all face. Not only was he scolded by Ling Mu, but he couldn¡¯t do anything to Qiu Zhenyang either.


    The beta Xia Wen, who had complained about Cheng An¡¯an earlier, stood up and looked at Qiu Zhenyang anxiously. ¡°Okay, okay, let go. When the teacher sees us fighting, no one will walk away scot free.¡±


    The other beta who didn¡¯t dare speak yet also spoke a few words of persuasion. After all, it was a group cooperation, and fighting like this was really unbecoming.


    Cheng An¡¯an hurriedly apologized: ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. I won¡¯t touch the mecha, and will stand by and watch you guys. Is that alright?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t bother looking at Cheng An¡¯an, and simply ignored him. Cheng An¡¯an, who didn¡¯t get a response, froze, and bit his lips in embarrassment.


    The atmosphere was at a stalemate for a long while because Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t want to let Wang Shuo go. In the end, Ling Mu was the first to step down and patted Qiu Zhenyang on the shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s okay, let go.¡±


    Mecha is his favorite course topic, and he doesn¡¯t want to make the teacher have a bad impression of him because of these bastards. But if these idiots continue making trouble, he will never let them go.


    After Ling Mu spoke, Qiu Zhenyang immediately let go and gave Wang Shuo a warning look. The latter didn¡¯t dare to provoke him either, and returned to his seat in despair.


    When the teacher passed their desk to check the situation, everything seemed calm.


    After the teacher left, Cheng An¡¯an struggled for a while before getting closer to Qiu Zhenyang and asking affectionately, ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, I remember you didn¡¯t like mechas before. Why did you choose this class?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang gave him a sideways glance: ¡°I like it now, can¡¯t I?¡±


    ¡°Of course it is,¡± Cheng An¡¯an smiled, but his eyes were a little lonely. ¡°I understand that people can change, whether it is likes or feelings, after all, there are too many uncertain factors.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s expressions became a little subtle. The meaning in his words was too obvious.


    Not fearing death, Wang Shuo butted in once more: ¡°No uncertain factor can compare to a shameless person! There are always some people who act aggressive and are willing to do anything for money!¡±


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t respond; he had a clear conscience. There is no need to pay attention to such low-level people.


    Qiu Zhenyang sneered. The moment his eyes swept over, Wang Shuo lowered his head cowardly.


    ¡°You¡¯re right, to be a human being, one needs to have a little face. When I was young, I thought that face was everything, but now I know that it¡¯s still best to look at one¡¯s heart when picking a partner. Some people look good on the surface, but in fact, stinks all over, and uses others to achieve his own means; these people are the most shameless.¡±


    After that, Qiu Zhenyang gave Cheng An¡¯an a meaningful look.


    The latter was so stiff that he couldn¡¯t squeeze out a smile. He took a deep breath and met Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s gaze: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to look at me like this.¡±


    The people in the group didn¡¯t dare to move. They could only look at Qiu Zhenyang and Cheng An¡¯an awkwardly.


    Ling Mu¡¯s hand movements studying the mecha also stopped. He never knew why Qiu Zhenyang suddenly changed his target and became more attentive towards him. He always thought he was playing tricks on him, but what happened now made Ling Mu look at Qiu Zhenyang once more.


    This man really doesn¡¯t seem to have lied to him.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what I think of you. What matters is what you¡¯ve done, and whether you have a clear conscience.¡±


    There was no smile on his face as Qiu Zhenyang looked at Cheng An¡¯an with alienation and disgust. Ling Mu had once experienced this look when he broke off the engagement in person ¨C it was extremely cold and chilling.


    But since the school entrance exam, Qiu Zhenyang never looked at him with this look again. All that was left were playful, caring eyes.


    Utterly different from the one Qiu Zhenyang gave to Cheng An¡¯an now.


    Cheng An¡¯an did not speak anymore, but just looked at Qiu Zhenyang. Tears gradually welled in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall, and his red eyes were full of disappointment.


    The class bell rang, breaking the silence.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Ling Mu.¡± Ignoring Cheng An¡¯an, Qiu Zhenyang picked up his backpack, threw it on his shoulder, and grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s hand.


    ¡°F*ck, Qiu Zhenyang, let me go!¡± Ling Mu struggled as he walked, but unfortunately he couldn¡¯t break free and was dragged away.


    There were too many people in the teaching building. Because of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s move, Ling Mu felt all kinds of eyes watching him, and was about to lose his temper.


    ¡°I¡¯ll hit you here if you don¡¯t f*cking let go!¡±


    Knowing that Ling Mu was thin-skinned, Qiu Zhenyang could only let go first. But he took advantage of his physique to stick tightly to Ling Mu¡¯s side, and even stretched his arms around him. He didn¡¯t let others approach and squeeze Ling Mu.


    ¡°What would you like to eat at noon?¡±


    Now that there is no need to go to the cafeteria to eat, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went back to the dormitory.


    ¡°Whatever.¡±


    Ling Mu has very low requirements for food; after all, he used to take nutritional supplements.


    However, Qiu Zhenyang had some ideas. When Ling Mu was in his arms before, he felt that Ling Mu was so thin that he was almost all bones. Because of this, nutrition is the most important thing ¨C he must fatten up Ling Mu first!


    Qiu Zhenyang protected Ling Mu as they followed the crowd downstairs. Not long after they left the teaching building, two people stood in front of Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Class- classmate Qiu, I have something to tell you!¡±


    Two omegas blocked Qiu Zhenyang. The one who spoke was a girl with neat bangs, and looked a little cute with her gentle and well-behaved appearance.


    Ling Mu glanced at Qiu Zhenyang, then freed the hand wrapped around his waist and left.


    ¡°Hey Ling Mu, wait¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang was about to chase after him, and gasped when his hand was hit.


    It hurts! He¡¯s definitely not happy! Ah!


    ¡°Classmate Qiu!¡± The companion of the girl with bangs stepped out and blocked Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s path, with a gesture of pleading. ¡°Wait, can you listen to Xiaoxiang first?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang reached out and wanted to pull Ling Mu, but he could only clench his empty hands. He looked down at the girl named Xiaoxiang: ¡°Tell me.¡±


    ¡°Classmate Qiu, my name is Lin Xiang, I¡¯m a student in the O2 class. I¡­ fell in love with you during the military training. Although I don¡¯t expect to be with you, can we exchange contact information, and can I invite you out for a meal occasionally?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at the man in front of him. The girl is obviously a very shy person, and probably only had the courage to confess because of her companion¡¯s encouragement.


    Thinking that a second person had already confessed to him not long after school started, Qiu Zhenyang felt deeply powerless.


    He pulled the shoulder bag on his shoulders and shook his head apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I already have someone I like. I don¡¯t want my sweetheart to get further away from me due to ambiguous acts with other people.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang had nothing more to add, so he simply staggered away.


    He has already said everything clearly, to the point where a fool can understand it. There is no need to say anything else.


    Now that he¡¯s identified Ling Mu, he will never allow himself to be stopped by anyone.


    When he returned to the dormitory, Ling Mu was cutting something in the kitchen.


    Qiu Zhenyang walked in and took a look. Wow, he can actually cook!


    ¡°You can cook?¡± Qiu Zhenyang leaned over from behind Ling Mu. Warm breath tickled his earlobe, his deep voice stirring his ears, making them itch.


    ¡°Are you a ghost, walking so silently?¡± Ling Mu was so focused that he didn¡¯t hear anything, and was taken aback by the sudden voice against his ears.


    Qiu Zhenyang chuckled lightly and nudged Ling Mu¡¯s waist.


    ¡°Okay, you go out, I¡¯ll do it.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was very worried seeing Ling Mu¡¯s way of cutting vegetables!


    But Ling Mu obviously didn¡¯t let go. Frowning, he kicked Qiu Zhenyang, and turned around to cut the vegetables on his own.


    Seeing him like this, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t continue pestering him. He went to the fridge to take out the other ingredients.


    But just as he took out the meat, Ling Mu who was chopping vegetables suddenly let out a low cry, and the knife fell on the chopping board.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart skipped a beat. The package in his hands fell to the ground, and he quickly turned to look at Ling Mu.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face turned black at the sight, and he immediately took Ling Mu¡¯s cut finger and stuffed it into his mouth.


    ¡°F*ck, what are you doing, Pervert Qiu!¡± Ling Mu¡¯s whole body exploded at the soft touch on his fingers. He wanted to pull his fingers out of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lips, but as long as Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t want to let go, it was the same as not being able to break free.


    Ling Mu glanced at his kidnapped hand, and then glanced at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s inky black pupils staring at him. He was unwilling¡­ but can only grit his teeth and endure!


    It wasn¡¯t until Qiu Zhenyang felt it was okay that he finally let go of Ling Mu¡¯s hand.


    Licking the corner of his lower lip, Qiu Zhenyang reminisced on the rusty taste in his mouth with satisfaction. Although this method is not scientific, it is quite useful for promoting feelings!


    ¡°Come here, I¡¯ll sterilize and bandage it.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu¡¯s hand and sat down on the sofa in the living room, then looked for the medicine box in the living room cabinet.


    Ling Mu twisted his face and stared at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s back. ¡°Since it still needs to be sterilized and bandaged, what about just now? Suddenly sucking blood like a vampire?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang snorted twice without turning his head. ¡°If I were really a vampire, I would absolutely suck all your blood, and then let you drink my blood, so that every blood cell in your body belongs to me only.¡±


    After finally finding the medicine box, Qiu Zhenyang closed the drawer wondering why Ling Mu didn¡¯t refute him. When he turned his head, he saw that the young man sitting on the sofa was blushing, biting his lip and clenching his hands, wearing an ashamed expression.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Heartbeat rising, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hands softened and his hands holding the medicine box almost loosened.


    ¡°Ah, you really¡­¡± He rubbed his face helplessly, took a deep breath and walked to Ling Mu and sat down. The teenager bounced away as if stung by a bee, but failed when he was wrapped around the waist by Qiu Zhenyang again.


    ¡°Are you shy?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s voice was very soft, and he couldn¡¯t help laughing next to Ling Mu¡¯s ear: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect our Xiao Mumu to have such a thin skin.¡±


    ¡°F*ck, roll away for me.¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, I won¡¯t tease you anymore. Don¡¯t move, I¡¯ll disinfect you.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang pulled his hand back and took the disinfectant and cotton balls from the medicine box, and pulled Ling Mu¡¯s injured finger over. After disinfecting, he took out the healing agent, applied it to Ling Mu with a cotton swab, and finally carefully pasted a bandage on.


    After packing everything up, Qiu Zhenyang reminded: ¡°This healing agent is very useful. The wound should heal and disappear the day after tomorrow, but the pain will be more obvious in the past two days.¡±


    Many things in interstellar are high-tech, medicinal effects included. The effect is also very significant, but there are also some disadvantages.


    Ling Mu looked at his finger in disgust. The bandage was very annoying. ¡°It¡¯s ugly.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang kissed the finger standing in front of him before he could react.


    ¡°Mua~ what¡¯s so ugly? Our Xiao Mumu¡¯s fingers are the best~¡±


    ¡°F*ck, Qiu Zhenyang, you want to f*cking die so much? Come here, I promise not to kill you!¡±


    Sometimes I wonder who is more sensible between QZY and LM¡­

 CH 26

    The consequence of cutting his fingers while cooking was that Qiu Zhenyang did not let Ling Mu enter the kitchen again. Qiu Zhenyang would also take care of washing the dishes before his wound heals.


    Ling Mu naturally protested, but his protest was obviously invalid.


    In the afternoon, the two of them went to the same classroom again. This time, no matter how slow Ling Mu was, he could still react. Qiu Zhenyang must have gotten the information about his course selection from somewhere. But since it didn¡¯t affect him, Ling Mu didn¡¯t bother to ask or care much, and followed along with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s act.


    But that was until class ended. After class, Qiu Zhenyang was still tagging behind. Ling Mu finally couldn¡¯t help it, and spoke up.


    ¡°You have nothing to do? Why are you always following me?¡± It was the end of class and there were a lot of people, so Ling Mu dragged him into an empty classroom and closed the door to question him.


    Qiu Zhenyang thought for a while: ¡°I really have nothing.¡±


    ¡°¡­Go back if you have nothing to do, don¡¯t follow me.¡± Ling Mu looked at the terminal on his wrist. It was too late.


    Seeing that Ling Mu was about to go out, Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly grabbed his hand. ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    Ling Mu was very annoyed. ¡°I¡¯m going to an interview. If you make me late, I¡¯ll beat you to death when I go back at night.¡±


    Lightly exerting force, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s previously good mood immediately dropped, and a trace of danger leaked out. ¡°Interview? Is it that sparring partner you said before?¡±


    ¡°En.¡± Ling Mu reluctantly nodded, trying to find a way to pull Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand away.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to go?¡± Qiu Zhengyang¡¯s voice was stern, and his frown deepened.


    Ling Mu ignored him, and silently complained in his heart: Where will the money come from if I don¡¯t go?


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s head hurt a little seeing the words ¡°I disagree¡± written all over his face. Ling Mu didn¡¯t take his own words to heart at all¡­


    Exerting more force with his hand, his footsteps approached in an instant, directly pressing the person against the door. The movement was so loud that the door made a ¡°bang¡±, startling a few people outside to glance over curiously, before they were pushed away by the stream of people coming up from behind.


    ¡°The sparring job is too dangerous, don¡¯t go.¡± Qiu Zhenyang stared into Ling Mu¡¯s eyes at close distance.


    Ling Mu, who was forced to look at him, found that Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes had turned red again. It was not the first time he had seen it. Every time a dark red light appeared in this person¡¯s eyes, it was a sign of his anger.


    Qiu Zhenyang usually doesn¡¯t use pheromones to suppress him, but the look now made Ling Mu want to surrender.


    But when he thought about the living expenses in his account, Ling Mu still gritted his teeth and retorted: ¡°Why don¡¯t you let me go? I fight a lot, you don¡¯t need to worry about it!¡±


    ¡°Xiao Mumu, don¡¯t make me angry.¡± Qiu Zhenyang single-handedly leaned on the door, buried his head on Ling Mu¡¯s neck and shoulders, and took a breath. A slender right leg snuck between Ling Mu¡¯s legs, completely trapping him. The person in his arms seems to have become prey, craving to possess,  wanting to control, desiring to merge their bodies together, so that he can no longer worry about himself like this¡­


    He can¡¯t bear to let Ling Mu become someone else¡¯s sparring partner.


    Can¡¯t stand my baby being touched by others, and can¡¯t stand him touching others even in a purely physical altercation¡­


    Taking a deep breath, Qiu Zhenyang felt that he was a little abnormal.


    He never thought that he would care about a person to this extent. Is this what it feels like to like someone?


    Ling Mu who was held down was motionless. He has never been a coward. If another person treated him like this, he would have beaten him badly. But Qiu Zhenyang was the bastard who broke off their marriage contract, and they were recently in a relationship. Even though the other party hadn¡¯t released any pheromone, he felt the heat permeating through such a soft embrace.


    ¡°Don¡¯t go, be obedient, I¡¯ll open a shop soon. Come work in my shop, I¡¯ll give you a higher salary, eh?¡± Relying on the faint fragrance near Ling Mu¡¯s glands, Qiu Zhenyang finally regained some sanity, coaxing in a low voice as he rubbed his lips against the smooth skin of Ling Mu¡¯s neck.


    Ling Mu¡¯s face flushed. Biting his lips, he didn¡¯t speak.


    He didn¡¯t say anything, so Qiu Zhenyang continued to rub, and after a while, he started kissing. In the end, he tentatively opened his thin lips and bit down gently.


    The dense kisses and bites were like ants, causing him to tremble from the skin to the heart.


    Ling Mu was almost driven mad by this person!


    Qiu Zhenyang hugged Ling Mu and nibbled contentedly. The skin on his neck was full of nerves, and was outrageously hot!


    ¡°Work in my shop, okay?¡± Qiu Zhenyang asked again with a softened tone. ¡°It¡¯s too tiring to work alone, and it just so happens that you need a job again. It¡¯s definitely better to work there than for someone else, okay?¡±


    In all fairness, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s proposal was really the best. Ling Mu knew that he wasn¡¯t lying, and also knew that he recently fiddled with milk tea and fried chicken for a reason, but¡­ how can he agree in such a situation!


    Obviously he was talking about work, but Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s actions and tone seemed to be talking about another thing. Ling Mu couldn¡¯t open his mouth at all! It was as if he agreed, he would immediately fall into the quagmire called Qiu Zhenyang, and would never be able to climb out again!


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his head slightly and saw the struggle in Ling Mu¡¯s eyes. He immediately understood and chuckled lightly, ¡°Can¡¯t say? Then you can kiss me.¡±


    ¡°¡­F*ck, I agree.¡± Ling Mu closed his eyes and turned his head to hide his expression, but his red earlobes gave him away.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who finally got a positive response, took a step back mercifully. He said to Ling Mu as he helped tidy up his clothes: ¡°That¡¯s good~ then let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll go pick up Ling Dang with you.¡±


    ¡ª¨C


    Class finished soon, and Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s milk tea shop was also on the agenda.


    The milk tea shop finished renovations on Friday, and could finally open the next day.


    Qiu Zhenyang did not deliberately promote his milk tea shop. He also closed the front door and only used the back when the interior was being renovated.


    So when it opened on Saturday morning, the store was deserted and there was not a single customer.


    Glancing at the store opposite, Ling Mu squinted at Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going out to solicit customers?¡±


    ¡°Me, solicit?¡± Qiu Zhenyang was stunned. He was embarrassed and even felt a little wronged to meet Ling Mu gaze. ¡°How can anyone tell their husband to go out and solicit customers?¡±


    ¡°Say that again?¡± Ling Mu narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous light shone through.


    ¡°Cough nothing,¡± Qiu Zhenyang pretended to cough, and sat on the edge of the dining table to rest his head. ¡°What¡¯s the rush, maybe it will be difficult to rest in the future. Just sit and wait and see.¡±


    Although he knew most people had promotions, discounts, a wave of marketing, and at least a store opening ceremony, Qiu Zhenyang was too lazy and didn¡¯t want to do any of these things.


    Originally, his purpose of opening this store was to give Ling Mu a safe place to work, not really to make money, so he didn¡¯t care much even if the business was deserted. Besides, Qiu Zhenyang really doesn¡¯t think that his milk tea shop will be deserted for long. As long as someone comes in and tries it, they will definitely become a regular customer in the future!


    The charm of milk tea and fried chicken is unstoppable!


    He¡¯s just this confident!


    After half a day of leisure, when Qiu Zhenyang was so bored that he yawned and was about to tease Ling Mu again, the ¡°Yaoyao Milk Tea Shop¡± finally welcomed its first batch of customers.


    ¡°Welcome to Yaoyao Milk Tea Shop. The ordering screen is on the upper right corner of the desktop. If you have any questions, you can call us.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang stood up to greet the two male students and smiled friendly at them. Ling Mu was already standing at the counter, with a serving tray at the ready.


    ¡°What is milk tea?¡± The two boys who came in were very good-looking, especially the tall one, whose appearance was even somewhat comparable to that of Qiu Zhenyang. However, Qiu Zhenyang looked more upright and forceful because he was born into a Legion family and trained since he was a child.


    ¡°Milk tea is a beverage with a rich and mellow taste, and you can choose the sweetness and temperature.¡± Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t explain too much. Sometimes explaining too much will mislead people¡¯s impressions of new things. It¡¯s better for them to experience it themselves.


    The tall boy nodded and continued to look at the menu on the ordering screen.


    The varieties sold in the milk tea shop are very simple. In addition to milk tea, only fried chicken is available. One can choose the milk tea¡¯s sweetness, temperature, and cup size, while for fried chicken, one can choose which parts and flavors.


    ¡°Zhou Yan, are you sure you want to eat here? Why do I feel this store is unreliable?¡± Qin Jian frowned and glanced around the store. Although it was quite clean and the decoration was beautiful, this menu¡­ isn¡¯t it too simple?


    Zhou Yan didn¡¯t look up, and pressed a few times on the ordering screen.


    ¡°Just try it first. If it doesn¡¯t taste good, we can go.¡±


    Hearing this, Qin Jian couldn¡¯t say anything else, and could only wait on the side.


    The robot in the back kitchen is very powerful. Their meal was ready in less than a minute and handed out to the food outlet.


    Ling Mu picked up the tray and walked steadily to the table of the guests. He put two cups of milk tea and fried chicken on the table. Before leaving, he bent down and said, ¡°Please enjoy.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was wholeheartedly paying attention to Ling Mu. When he saw how serious he was working, he secretly sighed that his decision to open this milk tea shop was so right!


    Looking at the milk tea and fried chicken on the table, Qin Jian¡¯s nose twitched, a little surprised. ¡°What is this, it smells so good! I have never smelled something so good!¡±


    Zhou Yan was a little surprised, and took the lead in putting on plastic gloves according to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s prompt, picked up a fried chicken leg and ate it.


    Taking a bite through the crispy skin and tender meat, fragrant and juicy. Zhou Yan paused for a while, and then directly buried his head to continue eating.


    So fragrant and delicious!


    It was the first time that Qin Jian saw Zhou Yan look like this. He didn¡¯t hesitate any longer and grabbed a chicken leg and took a bite.


    ¡°My god, this is too delicious!¡±


    Qin Jian¡¯s eyes lit up, and after saying something vaguely, he buried himself in eating like Zhou Yan.


    The two finished all the fried chicken in less than a while, and immediately ordered two more without any nonsense.


    While waiting for the fried chicken, they tried the milk tea and¡­  ordered two more milk teas!


    Seeing Qin Jian and Zhou Yan¡¯s fascination with milk tea and fried chicken, Qiu Zhenyang laughed treacherously.


    Hehe, stupid interstellar people, you can¡¯t escape the law of milk tea and fried chicken!


    Y¡¯know, I¡¯ve never had fried chicken and milk tea together¡­ Not sure I want to either.

 CH 27

    When the two finally stopped, Qin Jian¡¯s stomach was full and he lay on the table and didn¡¯t want to move. Zhou Yan was better than him, and could gracefully wipe his hands and mouth with a wet wipe.


    ¡°This store is absolutely amazing. Now I¡¯m a little suspicious of what I used to eat.¡± Qin Jian lay on the table and looked at Zhou Yan with a suspicious expression on his face.


    Zhou Yan glanced at him in disgust, then clicked on his terminal, uploaded the pictures taken when the fried chicken and milk tea came up for the second time to his social account, and finally edited a daily post.


    In less than ten minutes, there were hundreds of likes and comments. Many people asked which store this was, so Zhou Yan posted the address link, and a group of people clamored to come.


    Qin Jian glanced at Zhou Yan¡¯s terminal sourly, ¡°As expected of a school grass. So many people comment each day.¡±


    Zhou Yan chuckled lightly, took the order screen just now to check out and pay, and then He stood up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we have stuff to do in the afternoon. Don¡¯t dawdle.¡±


    Qin Jian sighed and stood up, and patted Qiu Zhenyang on the shoulder before leaving. ¡°Your food is good, we¡¯ll come back next time!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled and saw the guests off. ¡°Thank you for your patronage!¡±


    The first group of guests were sent away, and the two of them had a little free time. Qiu Zhenyang looked at the time, turned around and said to Ling Mu, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s eat something first. Anyway, no one is here now, let¡¯s go and eat it later.¡±


    Although fried chicken and milk tea are delicious, Qiu Zhenyang was not willing to let Ling Mu eat this all the time, so he prepared some food in the back when he had time this morning.


    Ling Mu nodded. He didn¡¯t really care. After all, when he was working in the past, there were often times when he couldn¡¯t eat.


    The two went into the back kitchen for lunch like this. Who knew that just after they had eaten a couple of bites, the front hall became noisy.


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu raised their heads and looked at each other, both puzzled.


    ¡°You eat first, I¡¯ll go out and have a look.¡±


    With that, Qiu Zhenyang put down the tableware and went to the front hall. Ling Mu didn¡¯t listen to him; he also put down the bowl and chopsticks and went out behind Qiu Zhenyang.


    As soon as they got to the front hall, both of them were stunned.


    ¡°It should be here, right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just like the photo that Senior Zhou sent. It should be here, hurry up and order.¡±


    ¡°The restaurant recommended by the school grass must be delicious. Hurry up, I just saw Lisa and the others on the way over¡­¡±


    There were suddenly two or three more tables of guests in the front hall, all of them ordering on the order screen. And listening to what they said, Qiu Zhenyang was a little bit dumbfounded.


    Qiu Zhenyang heard the names of the two previous guests, and one of the guests was surnamed Zhou.


    It seems that the boy should have recommended the store, but Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t expect him to be so influential. He actually brought so many customers to him all at once.


    ¡°There aren¡¯t many people, you go to eat first, and then come out for me after you finish eating.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang saw that the guests were good now, and he was too busy to come by himself, so he pushed Ling Mu to let him eat.


    Ling Mu was a little unhappy: ¡°You are the boss.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was happy: ¡°Yes, I am the boss, so you have to listen to me and go eat first. But don¡¯t eat too fast, it¡¯s not good for your stomach. Eat slowly, I can handle it here.¡±


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang insist, Ling Mu can only go back to the kitchen to eat first.


    Although Qiu Zhenyang told him not to eat too fast, Ling Mu still ate much faster than usual out of habit. After a few bites, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and went out to work.


    What Ling Mu didn¡¯t expect was that there were only two or three tables of people before he went in, but when he came out, the store was full!


    ¡°Why are there so many people? Did you make a mistake?¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s head felt swollen looking at the customers in the store. Although the back kitchen is operated by robots, so there is no problem, there¡¯s only him and Ling Mu who can be waiters. How can they entertain so many people?


    Because robot food delivery is not popular here, he instead chose the more humane human waiter, so Qiu Zhenyang did not place any orders for food delivery robots. Now it seems¡­ This is a completely stupid decision!


    Seeing that Ling Mu was so busy taking the plates from the dining outlet and delivering them to the guests as soon as he came out, Qiu Zhenyang regretted it.


    He opened this store to take care of Ling Mu, not to squeeze his labor and keep him busy!


    But thinking about it carefully, this is actually beneficial. He can use this to raise Ling Mu¡¯s salary. Yay~


    Seeing the endless supply of plates from the delivery port, Qiu Zhenyang stopped thinking about it and was about to continue waitering until he saw Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu walking in with several classmates.


    ¡°Damn, why are there so many people?¡± Yuan Chenyu looked at the situation in the store in shock. He and Zhuo Hang went home last night, and they came back after lunch today in order to support Qiu Zhenyang. They don¡¯t even have seats!


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw them coming. Isn¡¯t this a ready-made labor force!


    ¡°Hurry up, hurry up and help me bring the plates together!¡± Qiu Zhenyang shoved a serving tray into Yuan Chenyu¡¯s hand, and pulled Zhuo Hang and a few other classmates over. ¡°Each plate has a number on it. Bringing it to the table corresponding to the number will do. I¡¯ll invite you to eat fried chicken when I¡¯m done!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu, who was still a little confused, was instantly excited hearing the words fried chicken. ¡°Okay, I got it~¡±


    The tray vanished.


    Upon seeing this, several other classmates also went out. They had a good relationship with Qiu Zhenyang and were happy to help.


    Zhuo Hang looked at Yuan Chenyu¡¯s back without a word, and said to Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°As expected, I thought, there are so many customers. You didn¡¯t promote it at all, so I thought it would be easier at first, but it turned out that I was wrong.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang waved his hand and told the story of the two previous guests.


    ¡°Oh~ looks like a celebrity helped you promote it. I heard that Zhou Yan is the school grass of the Interstellar Academy. With him doing the promotion, it¡¯s no wonder that 90% of the customers in your store are omegas.¡±


    Zhuo Hang aside, Qiu Zhenyang really didn¡¯t notice it. But looking at it now, as expected, the store is nearly full of omegas!


    ¡°Tsk, how charming is that school grass?¡± Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t feel envious or jealous; he was just curious.


    ¡°Yeah, a third-year mecha genius with top academics and a good family background, but¡­¡± Zhuo Hang looked at Qiu Zhenyang from side to side and smiled a little evilly. ¡°But now, compared with our Young Master Qiu, he doesn¡¯t seem like much.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang slapped Zhuo Hang. ¡°What nonsense, I don¡¯t want to compare with others. Hurry up and help!¡±


    Zhuo Hang smiled, shaking his head as he walked towards the dining outlet. At the same time, his eyes swept over the hall. When he was sure that most of the omegas were quietly blushing looking at Qiu Zhenyang, he muttered a sentence in his mouth: ¡°How am I saying nonsense¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang and the others hardly had time to stop that afternoon.


    The business in the store is really booming. Not to mention a full store, there were still many people lining up outside the door. In desperation, Qiu Zhenyang went to a nearby department store to buy a lot of chairs and temporarily placed them outside so that the waiting guests could have a place to rest.


    At the beginning, those who came did come through Zhou Yan¡¯s post, but later, as the number of people increased, it also attracted many people who came to the commercial street to eat, not to mention those who had already eaten. People who passed by called friends and acquaintances over, and the number of customers naturally increased.


    ¡°No more,, Zhenyang, I¡¯m really exhausted, you should close the store now!¡± Yuan Chenyu said to Qiu Zhenyang with a bitter face. Waitering was very fresh at first. Because he was handsome and liked to laugh a lot, many omegas and betas came to chat with him.


    But after a large number of guests came, Yuan Chenyu didn¡¯t have time to interact with others at all, and felt like a spinning top.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at his terminal. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon. He glanced at the situation in the store. Although it had been a busy afternoon, there were no signs of the crowd decreasing. In fact, thinking about it, there were so many people in the afternoon, not to mention it¡¯s almost dinner time, so the customer flow won¡¯t stop anytime soon.


    Thinking that he might be busy for several hours, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth twitched.


    As an alpha with excellent physical qualities, he is not very tired, but¡­


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at Ling Mu, who had been busy all afternoon, carrying more dishes than anyone else. Because there were so many people, he never rested, and he didn¡¯t even have time to take a sip of water. His lips were already dry to the point of peeling, and his gait was a little slow. Although his expression was unchanged, Qiu Zhenyang knew that he must be very tired.


    He immediately made a decision in his heart.


    Walking to the door of the store, Qiu Zhenyang smiled apologetically at the customers sitting outside the door. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, our store is closed at 5 o¡¯clock today. Kindly ask all customers to come back tomorrow. In order to compensate for your time, I¡¯ll send everyone a coupon for your next visit!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words disappointed people outside the store, and some even asked why the store closed so early.


    ¡°We really didn¡¯t expect so many guests, and don¡¯t have enough ingredients, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Qiu Zhenyang politely distributed coupons to everyone, and a few omegas couldn¡¯t say anything when they saw his face.


    After finally getting rid of the guests outside the door, Qiu Zhenyang directly asked Zhuo Hang to stand at the door and told those who came later that they were closed.


    As for the guests in the store, after Qiu Zhenyang notified them of the 5 o¡¯clock close, they all finished their meals wisely and left one after another.


    When the door of the milk tea shop was finally closed, everyone slumped down in their chairs, not wanting to move.


    ¡°Come on, here¡¯s your milk tea and fried chicken. You can eat as much as you want. It¡¯s a reward for helping me today.¡± Qiu Zhenyang came over with milk tea and fried chicken for them to enjoy together.


    Qiu Zhenyang stuffed a large bottle of fresh juice in Ling Mu¡¯s hand, who sat in the corner holding the bottle and sucking it with a straw.


    Yuan Chenyu drank a bottle of milk tea in one breath, and said to Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°I¡¯m really convinced, your shop will definitely be popular in the future.¡±


    Another classmate who helped, Ruan Qing, gnawed on a chicken leg and nodded in agreement. ¡°I think you¡¯d better find more waiters. We can help occasionally, but we don¡¯t have time to help when we usually have classes or something. ¡°


    Qiu Zhenyang nodded, but he didn¡¯t want to recruit people. Instead, he was going to order a batch of food delivery robots.


    Because, he didn¡¯t want to see that situation from Ling Mu¡¯s previous shop again.


    QZY: Noooo¡­ too many people. Wait, I can give Mumu more $, yay!


    QZY: ¡­ nevermind, there¡¯s too many. Need backup!

 CH 28

    After a few people had eaten, they left first, leaving Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu to tidy up. They left the rest to the cleaning robot.


    On the way back from closing the store, Qiu Zhenyang said to Ling Mu: ¡°In the future, let¡¯s unify the opening time of the store from 11a.m. to 1p.m., and then again, from 7p.m. to 9p.m. in the evening. This way, our time for schoolwork won¡¯t be delayed, and you can still pick up Ling Dang in the evening. The time won¡¯t be very tight.¡±


    Ling Mu looked at him puzzled: ¡°Won¡¯t you waste too much time like this?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his brows. ¡°This shop is just¡­ a hobby. I¡¯m just exercising myself.¡±


    Ling Mu rolled his eyes. Sure enough, the young master of a rich family is annoying!


    When the two returned to the dormitory, Ling Dang was sitting on the sofa eating snacks and watching TV. As soon as he saw Qiu Zhenyang, her eyes lit up: ¡°Grilled fish! Grilled fish!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang waved his hand. ¡°I know. Put away your snacks, be careful to leave space when it¡¯s ready.¡±


    Ling Dang was picked up by Ling Mu and stood on the ground, pouting. ¡°I¡¯m sure I can eat, humph!¡±


    After clearing the snack crumbs, Ling Mu patted Ling Dang¡¯s head: ¡°Did you watch TV all afternoon? Is your homework finished?¡±


    Ling Dang, who was still in high spirits just now, suddenly wilted, and walked upstairs with a small frown. ¡°I did a bit, and will do some more now. Call me when it¡¯s dinnertime, brother!¡±


    ¡°Got it.¡±


    Helplessly watched Ling Dang go upstairs, Ling Mu lay on the sofa to rest. His eyes couldn¡¯t help land on Qiu Zhenyang who was busy in the kitchen. The soft sofa was too comfortable. His tired limbs gradually relaxed, and his eyelids gradually shut¡­


    An unknown length of time passed, and Ling Mu felt light and airy, as if floating.


    Frowning slightly, he opened his eyes, squinting, and what he saw was a delicate chin and a high nose.


    ¡°Awake?¡± Qiu Zhenyang lowered his voice, giving Ling Mu the illusion of being coaxed.


    It was probably because he was so sleepy that his brain was a little slow. Ling Mu blinked his eyes and didn¡¯t respond. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart itched looking at the well-behaved person in his arms. He walked to his room as fast as possible while maintaining stability, and gently placed the person on his bed.


    Helping Ling Mu remove his shoes and pants, Qiu Zhenyang adjusted the temperature in the room to a suitable temperature, and then covered Ling Mu with a blanket.


    ¡°Ling Dang is doing her homework. You sleep in my room for a while, and I¡¯ll call you when food is ready.¡± Qiu Zhenyang leaned down and kissed Ling Mu¡¯s forehead while he was confused, with an extremely soft smile at the corner of his mouth.


    He just cut the vegetables and saw Ling Mu was asleep when he looked back. Worried that he would catch a cold by napping in the living room with the air conditioner on, Qiu Zhenyang simply carried the person to his room to sleep.


    Exhausted after a busy day, Ling Mu didn¡¯t hold back and shut his eyes after a few seconds. Turning on his side, he curled up with a blanket, and even let out a few snores.


    He was so cute, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help feeling distressed. He simply knelt by the bed and watched Ling Mu¡¯s sleeping face for a while. After about ten minutes, he closed the door and went downstairs to cook.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fear that Ling Mu would be hungry later, he would have been able to watch Xiao Mumu until he woke from sleep!


    After Qiu Zhenyang left, the room became even quieter, apart from Ling Mu¡¯s long breathing.


    Don¡¯t know how long it took, but the room that was full of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pheromone suddenly smelled of flowers.


    The floral fragrance changed from light to strong, gradually filling the entire room, blending with the smell of sunlight.


    The person on the bed also began to twist unbearably, movements growing larger, holding the quilt, and rubbing unconsciously.


    When the scent of flowers in the room was about to reach a critical point, Ling Mu opened his eyes and looked around with difficulty.


    This is not his bedroom.


    The familiar smell of pheromones poured into his nose from the sheets and blankets, reminding Ling Mu that this room belonged to Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Hmm¡­¡± The temperature on his body was getting higher and higher. Ling Mu wanted to kick the blanket off, but the remaining pheromone made him unable to let go, and even hungrily put the blanket up to his nose and fiercely sniffed it.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t expect that he would go into heat just by lying on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s bed for a while¡­


    ¡°Qiu Zhen¡­ yang.¡± Ling Mu whispered, but his voice was extremely low. Not to mention Qiu Zhenyang who was downstairs, someone else in the room might not even be able to hear it.


    He didn¡¯t have the strength to shout any more, and could only turn over and bury his face in the bed sheet. His whole body was covered with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pheromones, fascinating him until he was about to go crazy¡­


    This person, why does his pheromone smell so good?


    Ling Mu knew that he should go back to the room to get the inhibitor and give himself an injection, but the temptation of this room full of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s life was too great. Ling Mu¡¯s reason was unable to win over his body, wanting to stay in this room for a longer time.


    When Qiu Zhenyang came out of the kitchen with a plate, Ling Mu¡¯s pheromone had passed through the room and into the living room.


    ¡°Ling Mu!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who smelled the smell, immediately put down the plate, rushing upstairs two to three steps at a time, and quickly locked the door after entering.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Seeing Ling Mu writhing on the bed, Qiu Zhenyang hurried over to hug him and wiped the thin sweat on Ling Mu¡¯s forehead. He didn¡¯t expect Ling Mu¡¯s estrus to come so frequently. Barely any time had passed since the last time.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at Ling Mu, who was tortured by estrus, and felt that something was not right. He had to find time to take Ling Mu to the infirmary.


    The tight and gentle hug made Ling Mu feel better. He struggled to get up, placing his upper body in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arms, heavy breathing causing his chest to rise and fall.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you a mark first, don¡¯t move.¡± Qiu Zhenyang kissed Ling Mu¡¯s sweaty forehead soothingly, and pressed the person into his arms to expose his neck. Although the last mark scarred over, it can still be seen.


    ¡°En! Qiu Zhenyang¡­¡± Ling Mu¡¯s brows were wrinkled, his eyes were red, as if he had been bullied. Slender fingers tightly grasped the clothes on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s back, tugging it upwards, and even his knuckles were slightly red.


    The marking process was unbearable for both of them. After all, they had not confirmed their relationship, so they could only make temporary marks. It was hard for Qiu Zhenyang to hold back each time. Ling Mu was the same, the temporary mark just scratches the itch, and can¡¯t relieve the emptiness in his heart. He¡¯s like a balloon now ¨C every time he¡¯s temporarily marked, the balloon would inflate a little. He didn¡¯t know what the critical point was, or how powerful the explosion would be.


    After the temporary marking was done, Qiu Zhenyang took a deep breath and held Ling Mu to calm the heat in his body.


    God knows how much patience he had to control himself not to do more excessive things to Ling Mu! An alpha¡¯s instincts are difficult to suppress, and the person in his arms is the person he likes¡­ another alpha might have completely marked them in a similar situation.


    Thoughts running wildly, Qiu Zhenyang patted Ling Mu¡¯s back and said softly, ¡°You have a good rest. I¡¯ll put dinner in the insulator; you can eat after you wake up.¡±


    He moved his eyes awkwardly. His legs were ready to retreat to solve his physiological problem, so he pulled the person in his arms away, wanting him to lie on the bed. But Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t expect that not only was Ling Mu not pulled away, but the hands around his waist got even tighter!


    This took him by surprise. Ling Mu can be regarded as relying on himself, is he finally enlightened?


    With this thought in mind, Qiu Zhenyang smiled evilly in surprise: ¡°Xiao Mumu, do you want me to stay with you for a while? I won¡¯t go down if you say something nice to me, and can accompany you here. Ling Dang just¡­let her go hungry first~¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was too excited, left his future sister-in-law behind.


    Ling Mu, who had already been marked, had actually recovered a little bit of sanity. He felt ashamed and embarrassed for his actions to keep Qiu Zhenyang.


    And the thing that made his face flushed to the point of burning was because Qiu Zhenyang changed his posture and his drooping eyes fell directly on¡­


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°!!!¡± He responded!!!


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression was finally no longer frivolous, but a rare nervousness. He didn¡¯t dare move, and his heartbeat was so loud that it made Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s brain hum. His body, which had just subsided, was boiling again.


    Ling Mu was so embarrassed that he didn¡¯t dare to raise his head. He had absolutely no idea how to react in such a situation!


    An unknown amount of time passed, and Qiu Zhenyang finally adjusted his mentality. His hoarse and low voice sounded close to Ling Mu¡¯s ear: ¡°Is it hard? I¡¯ll help you. It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t be shy.¡±


    What should I do in this state? They all knew that since Ling Mu was uncomfortable, and Qiu Zhenyang felt the responsibility to help him solve this problem.


    ¡°F*ck, no¡­¡± Ling Mu buried his head further, biting his lips and holding down Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand.


    He shook his head, but the movement was very small. It was obviously a refusal, but his fiery body and quivering voice gave people the illusion of wanting to refuse, but actually agreeing. Blue veins burst on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s neck, and he gritted his teeth to look up at the ceiling.


    After a long time, the voice gradually weakened. Qiu Zhenyang took out a tissue to wipe his hands. Looking at Ling Mu who was curled up like a boiled shrimp in the quilt and pretended to be dead, and licked his lower lip hard.


    Alas, the baby is comfortable, but he hurts.


    Looking at his little brother who was solemnly saluting, Qiu Zhenyang sighed and was about to get up and leave, but his wrist was pulled by a moderate force.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, do you still want it?¡± Thinking that he was not satisfied, Qiu Zhenyang asked with a smile.


    Ling Mu, who buried his head in the quilt, cursed quietly with red ears. He slowly took his head out of the soft quilt and sat upright on the bed, staring at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face with red eyes. After staring at him for a while, his gaze moved down, landing precisely on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s bulging part.


    ¡°?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang appeared careless, not one bit shy, but was rendered speechless at Ling Mu¡¯s flushed face.


    Finally gathering up his courage, Ling Mu his head a little annoyed, and said quickly, ¡°I¡¯ll help you too.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was astonished, unable to believe it. Fireworks exploded in his mind, sprinkling joy and surprise across his heart! If nothing else, according to Ling Mu¡¯s character, if he is willing to say such words, he definitely exists in his heart!


    Even though his heart began to dance with joy, he still held on with his last bit of reason. ¡°You don¡¯t have to force it, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    ¡°Not forcing¡­¡± Ling Mu whispered. As if to prove his words as true, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Mmn¡­ Xiao Mumu, take it easy.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was comfortable, and finally let go of the beast in his heart. He hugged Ling Mu, bringing them back down to the bed, pressing him tightly under him, and kissed him. His lovely cheeks were red, enjoying the physical and mental joy that Ling Mu brought him.

 CH 29

    By the time the two of them came out of the room, Ling Dang was puffed up in anger like a puffer fish.


    Sitting at the dining table and watching as the grilled fish lost its heat, the arc of her mouth curved downwards to the point that a pot could be hung off it.


    Seeing this, Qiu Zhenyang let out a sullen laugh, and took the grilled fish and other dishes on the table back to the kitchen to warm up.


    ¡°Brother, what were you doing in Brother Qiu¡¯s room? Why are you only coming out now? Brother Qiu asked me to wait just now when I knocked on the door. Woo, Ling Dang is so hungry after waiting.¡± She also pinched her thin belly aggrievedly.


    Ling Mu¡¯s ears were so red that he said angrily in embarrassment, ¡°Are you a pig, you won¡¯t starve to death if you eat slightly later.¡±


    Thinking that he and Qiu Zhenyang were doing those things when Ling Dang knocked on the door just now, Ling Mu felt like his whole body was going to burn up! If time could go back, he would never fall asleep on the sofa!


    Ling Dang looked at his angry brother confused, and Ling Mu felt even more guilty.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s eat, the food is already hot.¡± Qiu Zhenyang brought out the food, poured a glass of juice for the two of them, then smiled and glanced at Ling Mu. ¡°We still need to go to the milk tea shop tomorrow, hurry up and eat. Have a good night¡¯s sleep tonight, today was really tiring.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s statement was obviously normal, but it carried a deeper meaning in Ling Mu¡¯s ears. Shooting him a vicious look, he began to bury his head. Ling Dang was already starving, eyes literally glowing when she saw the food, and didn¡¯t didn¡¯t notice the interaction between the two at all.


    After eating, Ling Mu and Ling Dang were rushed upstairs by Qiu Zhenyang to take a bath and sleep. He washed the bowls himself, and then went back to the bedroom.


    Qiu Zhenyang whistled happily as he cleaned up the mess in his room, and it was past ten o¡¯clock when he finally lay down on the bed. Feeling sleepy, he casually flipped through the messages on the terminal, and  a link suddenly sent by Yuan Chenyu made Qiu Zhenyang burst into laughter.


    He never imagined that he would become a star of the Star Academy because of a fried chicken shop.


    The matter fermented on Interstellar Academy¡¯s forums, and a post made in the evening has now been piled up into a high-rise building.


    [Subject: The new school clerk who opened a milk tea shop on August 18]

    [116F] Commando in front: +1 for confession tomorrow. Although I am ugly, maybe he is blind? hehehe~


    [117F] Li Tao¡¯s little expert: Are you sure you want to confess? Maybe he has a partner, so the school flower was refused.


    [118F] I¡¯m a new newcomer: His roommate from a high school said that he had been chasing an omega for a year, but the two didn¡¯t seem to be together, so go after him with confidence!


    [119F] Peerless goddess: It¡¯s alright if we¡¯re not together, he¡¯s mine! I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s the only handsome boy left with a family background who can still cook? It¡¯s hard not to rob!


    [120F] Slap you to death: Mine, no one is allowed to rob me, I¡¯ll cut your dick off!!


    [121F] Thank you for the milk: Upstairs is too cruel¡­


    [122F] I love cats: This kind of peerless good man, if one misses him, they will cry to death!

    There are still many comments below that Qiu Zhenyang did not read.


    He is not a person who likes to browse forums, and these remarks are jokes, nothing serious. He is not a star, and people are just fooling around in this thread; there is no harm to take them to heart.


    Who knows that reality taught him a lesson!


    When he went to open the store with Ling Mu the next day, the two of them were stunned at the group of people blocking the door.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­ our store?¡± Qiu Zhenyang asked with difficulty.


    Ling Mu nodded, his face didn¡¯t look too good either. Yes.¡±


    Exchanging looks, both of them had the urge to turn their heads and leave.


    Sighing helplessly, Qiu Zhenyang felt that this matter must have something to do with the post Yuan Chenyu sent him last night. But escaping isn¡¯t a solution, the store can¡¯t stay closed forever.


    ¡°You go in through the back door first, and I¡¯ll deal with it.¡± Qiu Zhenyang asked Ling Mu to go first to prepare for opening.


    Ling Mu glanced at him, didn¡¯t say anything, and headed to the back door.


    Looking at the huge crowd in front of the store, Qiu Zhenyang took a deep breath and walked over as naturally as possible.


    ¡°F*ck, here he comes!¡± The people standing on the periphery saw Qiu Zhenyang and immediately reminded the rest.


    ¡°Ah, ah, he¡¯s really handsome!¡±


    ¡°My god, I¡¯m going to climb the wall, I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    Hearing these words, the corners of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth twitched speechlessly.


    ¡°Well, are you all coming to the store to drink milk tea? If so, please don¡¯t crowd the door and cause inconvenience to others.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took out his terminal. Seeing the bustling crowd finally started to line up, he walked over to open the door with a sigh.


    Even after opening, there aren¡¯t enough seats inside for all these people. Qiu Zhenyang could only take out the chairs from yesterday and continue to let some people wait outside.


    Although many people in the thread were clamoring to confess to Qiu Zhenyang yesterday, they were speechless in front of the real person.


    Besides, there are so many people now. They¡¯re embarrassed to disturb his time, and basically focus on the food in the store instead.


    After eating, they gathered more fans for ¡°Yaoyao Milk Tea Shop¡±.


    ¡°It¡¯s really delicious, how is this made? I¡¯ve never eaten something so delicious!¡±


    ¡°I usually eat a lot of meat, why is the taste completely different? This tastes so good! It¡¯s so fragrant!¡±


    Soon, all the guests who came because of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s good looks were captured by milk tea and fried chicken, and the topic of discussion became food. After Qiu Zhenyang posted the business hours in the lobby, almost all guests protested without exception.


    ¡°No way, it¡¯s only open for such a short time?¡±


    ¡°Four hours a day, junior, don¡¯t you have to make money?¡±


    ¡°If there are not enough staff, I volunteer to help!¡±


    Many people expressed their willingness to help, but were all rejected by Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°I am honored that everyone likes this restaurant, but I am still a freshman after all, and studying is the most important, so I will limit the business hours. These two time windows are during meal times, which is more convenient for everyone. Later, I¡¯ll buy a few food delivery drones, so if it¡¯s inconvenient to come here, you can place orders directly online. But the number will be limited each day.¡±


    Hearing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words, everyone understood. After all, they are students too, and everyone had similar schedules. The business in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s store is so prosperous, it¡¯s really exhausting to not limit the hours. But the most important point is that he really doesn¡¯t lack this money!


    After closing the shop at 1:00 p.m., Qiu Zhenyang sat in the lounge and ate fruit with Ling Mu.


    They had already had lunch before they came, but because it was a little early, they also snacked on some fruit.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at the terminal while eating. He had already placed an order for a food delivery robot last night, and is going to order a few more food delivery drones now


    After Ling Mu finished eating, he took out the homework box from the schoolbag he brought over in the morning and started to do his homework. The mecha-related courses they chose didn¡¯t have much written homework, it was more hands-on homework. For example, this black box about the size of a takeaway container contains their assignment.


    ¡°This mecha is so realistic.¡± Qiu Zhenyang heard the sound and looked over, and saw Ling Mu remove the thin plates above and around the box, and an ultra-small mecha model appeared on the table.


    Ling Mu squinted at him: ¡°A model costing 10,000, can it not be realistic?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang choked. As expected of the Interstellar Academy, even homework models are so expensive, they are very rich!


    According to the teacher¡¯s request, Ling Mu carefully removed the parts on the model one by one, and kept those parts that had not been taught yet. Because the model is very small, the relative difficulty also increased a lot, which is much more difficult than in class.


    The bottom plate of this homework box has a memory function, which can record the operator¡¯s actions. After handing in the homework, the teacher can see whether it is done by himself or not, and can also analyze and score the student¡¯s steps.


    While dismantling the model, Ling Mu asked Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°Have you finished?¡±


    ¡°No, I have time when I get back in the evening.¡± Qiu Zhenyang shrugged. Although the original body didn¡¯t like mechas, he was born in a Legion family. He was trained and nurtured by his father and brother, and knew a lot about mechas. These tasks were no problem at all. Someone else might take an hour, but he could do it in ten minutes.


    Ling Mu continued to do his homework, and his serious and focused appearance made Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s sound of eating fruit soften.


    The lounge was very quiet for a while, filled only with the sound of Ling Mu dismantling the model. After finishing the fruit, Qiu Zhenyang lay on the sofa and looked at him, gradually closed his eyes, and took a nap.


    When he woke up, Ling Mu¡¯s homework was almost done, and the two went back to the dormitory together.


    After dinner, Ling Dang played in the dorm herself, while Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went to the milk tea shop again.


    The food delivery robot that he ordered online finally arrived, so Qiu Zhenyang tried it out. The two of them really felt much more relaxed with the robot, and there was no longer the situation of being so busy at noon that their feet did not touch the ground.


    ¡°Go back first. I¡¯ll go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients for tomorrow first.¡± When the store closed, Qiu Zhenyang urged him to go back first.


    Ling Mu¡¯s movement of pulling the door paused, and he said with a light expression: ¡°I¡¯m going with you, there are too many things.¡±


    ¡°Not much, your husband is very good. I can handle it!¡±


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, do you want to die?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s kick was neither light nor hard, and he walked away without looking back.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled and locked the door of the store, whistling to the supermarket.


    He really wanted Ling Mu to accompany him, but he was a little tired at noon today, and because he didn¡¯t get a good rest this afternoon, he wanted Ling Mu to go back first so that he could rest early.


    After all, he¡¯s my wife, ah, my future wife~ As a good husband, I feel distressed~

 CH 30

    After buying the necessary things for the store and at-home use, Qiu Zhenyang dropped off the things at the store, and went back to the dorm.


    On the way back, Qiu Zhenyang deeply felt the power of the forums!


    Someone greeted him almost every few minutes, and all of them were people he didn¡¯t know. When asked, they said that they knew him from online, and he had become a celebrity in the Interstellar Academy.


    A celebrity¡­he really doesn¡¯t want to be famous at all, okay?


    ¡°Classmate Qiu, why did you buy so many ingredients? Are they used in the store?¡± A few familiar omegas came over to talk to Qiu Zhenyang, but they didn¡¯t dare to get too close.


    Qiu Zhenyang had a friendly smile as he replied, ¡°No, it¡¯s for cooking.¡±


    An omega looked at the amount in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s bag in surprise. ¡°Classmate Qiu, do you usually eat a lot? This is enough for half a month. Why did you buy so much? It won¡¯t stay fresh in the fridge.¡±


    ¡°Ah, because there are roommates who like eating together, so I bought more. This is about a week¡¯s amount.¡± Qiu Zhenyang glanced down. How could he let Ling Mu and Ling Dang eat stale vegetables? Even so, refrigerators here are very useful; ingredients can be kept for a week with no change. Buying a three-day supply can reduce the need to go to the supermarket every day.


    ¡°Roommate? I thought you lived alone, Classmate Qiu. I didn¡¯t expect you to have roommates.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang kept smiling and nodded.


    ¡°Hey, Qiu Zhenyang, who do you live with, Zhuo Hang or Yuan Chenyu?¡± There happened to be an alpha who was in the same class as Qiu Zhenyang present. Knowing that he had a good relationship with those two people, he asked curiously.


    Many students who passed by and knew Qiu Zhenyang slowed down, but Qiu Zhenyang threw a heavy bomb on them as soon as he opened his mouth.


    ¡°No, I live with an omega.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled lightly, sounding quite happy.


    ¡°O-omega?¡± The alpha who asked him was shocked, as were all the eavesdroppers.


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    ¡°How is that possible? Only couples who have been marked can register for cohabitation. Doesn¡¯t Classmate Qiu not have a partner, are you kidding me?¡± Although his words were light, the smile on the omega¡¯s face was terribly stiff.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked around to see many people waiting for his reply. Lips twitching, he answered in a vague way: ¡°Guess?¡±


    How could they guess!


    ¡°Okay, it¡¯s getting late, I¡¯ll go back first, bye.¡± No matter how distressed everyone was, Qiu Zhenyang quickened his pace and ran away.


    The rest of the people wanted to chase after him to see where Qiu Zhenyang lived, but they were too embarrassed and could only watch Qiu Zhenyang slip away. However, there are still many people who secretly made up their minds to try and find Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s dormitory, and then find time to squat to see which omega is living with Qiu Zhenyang!


    ¡ª¨C


    Because he was worried about Ling Mu¡¯s body, after the class on Monday morning, Qiu Zhenyang tried every means to drag Ling Mu to the infirmary.


    ¡°Are you too f*cking free?¡± Ling Mu, who was dragged over reluctantly, scratched Qiu Zhenyang several times before entering the door.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who has been damaged all the way, showed his white teeth and smiled brightly. ¡°I¡¯m not salty1homophone for the ¡°free¡± that Ling Mu used, I¡¯m sweet, very sweet~ Let¡¯s go, hurry in, I made an appointment with the teacher on the terminal.¡±


    After finally pushing him in, a forty-plus year-old beta female welcomed the two of them gently: ¡°Are you Classmate Qiu who made an appointment with me in the morning?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang closed the door, and dragged Ling Mu¡¯s hand to sit down across the table from the teacher. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m Qiu Zhenyang, this is Ling Mu, it¡¯s my¡­ omega, who I¡¯ve  marked temporarily.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s expression changed, but Qiu Zhenyang preempted him when he was about to speak: ¡°It¡¯s like this, Teacher Yu, when Ling Mu was in heat before, I gave him a temporary mark because inhibitors weren¡¯t possible. Although the period between estrus will become relatively shorter after a temporary mark, it should not be like Ling Mu¡¯s case where there is only two or three days in between as a buffer. Inhibitors don¡¯t work either now, and he can only rely on my mark to ease it. I want to ask, what¡¯s going on?


    Too frequent estrus will tax the person¡¯s body, and can also interfere with daily life. This is also why Qiu Zhenyang was in a hurry to bring Ling Mu to see the doctor.


    Teacher Yu is an experienced doctor. Hearing this, she thought for a while, got up and beckoned to Ling Mu: ¡°Student Ling, come with me, I will use an instrument to check if it is as I thought.¡±


    Ling Mu glanced at Qiu Zhenyang subconsciously. He was somewhat resistant and afraid of various medical instruments.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, just check, I¡¯ll be with you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang stood up and pulled Ling Mu inside together. He had seen in the original text that the reason why Ling Mu resisted seeing doctors was related to his deceased father. However, he will accompany Ling Mu to reduce his fear. After all, the checkup must be done.


    Teacher Yu looked at the two with a playful smile. ¡°Oh, you two young people have a good relationship. Have you been dating for a long time?¡±


    Teacher Yu¡¯s words made Ling Mu suddenly withdraw his hand, and walk into the testing room with a stiff face without saying a word. Seeing this, Qiu Zhenyang smiled helplessly, and shrugged at the teacher: ¡°Teacher, he is thin-skinned, please don¡¯t tease him.¡±


    Teacher Yu smiled wider, waved his hands, and walked in.


    The test report came out soon. Teacher Yu¡¯s expression turned serious again after looking through the data. She handed the report to Ling Mu, considered it for a while, and said, ¡°There is no major problem with your body; you just suffer from a relatively rare pheromone craving disorder.¡±


    ¡°Pheromone craving disorder? What is that?¡± Qiu Zhenyang was puzzled and worried. Glancing at Ling Mu, the latter was much calmer than him.


    ¡°That is to say, if Ling Mu has not been marked, it doesn¡¯t matter. Once his body is marked, he will become dependent on the pheromone of the person who marked him, and will need a little pheromone to appease him every day, otherwise he will go into heat every two or three days.¡± Teacher Yu spoke very carefully. This situation is rare among students, and there are only one or two cases every year.


    Qiu Zhenyang was quite happy to provide pheromones to comfort Ling Mu every day. The two of them already lived together, which was very convenient.


    Ling Mu frowned, feeling awkward, and asked, ¡°Is there any other way? This is too annoying.¡±


    Teacher Yu tapped his fingers on the table twice, looked back and forth at Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, and said, ¡°Seeing that Student Ling uses pheromone stickers to block Student Qiu¡¯s pheromone, you should only be in a temporarily marked relationship, right? The method I mentioned above is based on the fact that you are not completely marked. If you want to completely get rid of the craving disorder, the best way is to use a full mark.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was shocked, and his back straightened a lot.


    Ling Mu¡¯s mouth twitched. Gritting his teeth in embarrassment, he demanded, ¡°Change it!¡±


    Laughing happily at the reaction of the two of them, Teacher Yu quickly raised her hand to cover his lips and coughed lightly, then said, ¡°The only other way is to wash off the mark. However, the application procedure for washing the mark is more complicated. We can¡¯t do it here, only regular hospitals outside can do it. But I advise you to think carefully about this. Washing a mark is very harmful to your body, and the cost is relatively high.¡±


    Teacher Yu looked into Ling Mu¡¯s eyes as he deliberately spoke the last sentence. The latter¡¯s expression changed slightly and did not answer.


    Qiu Zhenyang was a little flustered, and quickly said: ¡°Understood teacher. Besides giving him some pheromone every day, is there anything else that we should pay attention to?¡±


    ¡°Pay attention to diet, don¡¯t take nutritional supplements all the time. Just eat more vegetables and fruits.¡± Teacher Yu wrote all the precautions on a medical record card and handed it to Qiu Zhenyang.


    Ling Mu has been silent since Teacher Yu said about washing the mark. He finally reacted, and in confusion: ¡°Why are you telling him?¡±


    Teacher Yu laughed and winked at Ling Mu: ¡± Because I think he¡¯s more worried about your body than you are~¡±


    Ling Mu wanted to retort, but turned his head to see Qiu Zhenyang looking at his medical record card seriously. The words got stuck in his throat and swallowed silently.


    Qiu Zhenyang was relieved after leaving the infirmary, continuing to think about what to have Ling Mu eat this week. According to Teacher Yu, it must be mainly vegetables and fruits. But Qiu Zhenyang always paid attention to nutritional balance, so there were always lots of vegetables and fruits in the fridge.


    ¡°Remember to ask me for pheromones every day in the future,¡± Qiu Zhenyang turned to look at Ling Mu. It was noon, and Ling Mu¡¯s bright and clean forehead was beaded with fine sweat in the hot sunlight. ¡°But if you forget, I will take the initiative to give it to you.¡±


    Ling Mu glanced at him and didn¡¯t answer.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s uneasy premonition widened. Reaching out, he grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s arm, and made him face him: ¡°Are you really going to wash the mark?¡±


    As soon as he thought of this possibility, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression began to pale, with painful eyes.


    Ling Mu, do you really hate me so much?


    ¡°Not now,¡± Ling Mu glanced at him. ¡°I don¡¯t have any money.¡±


    He can¡¯t even pay the money he owes Qiu Zhenyang.


    Hearing this, Qiu Zhenyang sighed in relief while clutching his chest. He doesn¡¯t have money, that¡¯s great~


    Ling Mu looked at his actions. After struggling for a long time, he was unable to hold back his words, and his expression turned solemn: ¡°Since the mark at the test, the relationship between us has become very strange. Don¡¯t you think so?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows. He¡¯s always guided this strange relationship to happen, so he naturally knew. However, he must not tell Ling Mu, so he just licked his lower lip, and did not smile.


    Ling Mu¡¯s heart was chaotic. He had never experienced this, and probably won¡¯t have it in the future. After encountering Qiu Zhenyang, his simple thinking began to turn chaotic, and he didn¡¯t know what to do next. Reason told him that he should leave as soon as possible, but emotionally he was hesitant.


    Yes, feelings. He has no way to deny the throbbing of Qiu Zhenyang in his heart.


    But he was afraid ¨C the price of this throbbing was something he couldn¡¯t give.


    Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s silence, Qiu Zhenyang knew that he was on a razor¡¯s edge again. Fortunately, he read the original book, and has some understanding of Ling Mu¡¯s psychology. After thinking about it, he decided to cut to the chase, ¡°Actually, I lied to you about something.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s long eyelashes trembled slightly, The hand by his side clenched involuntarily.


    ¡°I said before that I¡¯m good to you because I want to make you a friend, but in fact, I do everything because I like you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression was very sincere. Speaking of which, this was his first time confessing to someone. Before transmigrating, such a love has always been optional for him, but now, he craves it.


    Ling Mu¡¯s heart skipped a beat at the statement. Surprise flashed through his eyes, before he dodged his gaze away. ¡°Bullsh*t, I don¡¯t believe you.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled and lowered his eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t blame you for not believing me given the past, but I know I was wrong. Can you give me a chance?¡±


    ¡°Your change is too sudden, who would believe you?¡± Ling Mu snorted coldly. He wasn¡¯t stupid enough to be deceived with Qiu Zhenyang words. Besides, he is very self-aware. Doesn¡¯t Qiu Zhenyang like Cheng An¡¯an who is delicate and soft, and is disgusted by him who is bad tempered and ugly? Who would believe him so easily?


    ¡°I used to have a hole in my brain, and was blind. You¡¯ve seen everything I¡¯ve done during this time. If you still don¡¯t want to believe me, then¡­ that¡¯s okay, can you give me more time? I¡¯m not afraid of you testing me, I¡¯m just afraid that you won¡¯t give me a chance.¡± Qiu Zhenyang wanted to take out his heart and show it to Ling Mu ¨C he really wasn¡¯t that bastard from before!


    However, no matter what he says, it was impossible for Ling Mu to accept him immediately. Seeing that there won¡¯t be time to make lunch if he doesn¡¯t go back now, Ling Mu pursed his lips and turned around.


    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t talk about it now. Let¡¯s go back first.¡±


    Anyway, he lives with Qiu Zhenyang now, and even his part-time job is under his control. Giving him a chance is not something he can control at all, okay?


    QZY confessed!


    ¡­and was shot down.

 CH 31

    Since Qiu Zhenyang leaked his living arrangement with an omega a few days ago, Interstellar Academy¡¯s forum exploded. Everyone was inquiring which omega Qiu Zhenyang lived with.


    Many people investigated by tracking Qiu Zhenyang. However, since only those who live in the single-family dorm area are allowed in, and because the distance between villas is relatively far, it¡¯s easy to spot those tracking him. He threw those people behind every time, so they learned nothing in the end and everyone could only guess.


    Cheng An¡¯an was everyone¡¯s primary guess, but his friend came forward to clarify that it was not him.


    The second person to be guessed is naturally Ling Mu, who works in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s milk tea shop.


    [2F] You are creating something out of nothing: Impossible, although Qiu Zhenyang is very kind to him, but the two of them don¡¯t look like they¡¯re in that kind of AO relationship, okay?¡±


    [3F] Melon: When I clicked on the landlord¡¯s post, I just drank a sip of water and sprayed it all over the screen¡­ You pay for my terminal!


    [4F]//Falling money from the sky//: Impossible, the new school grass¡¯s vision can¡¯t be that bad


    [5F] Little female fan of Yan God:Wait, what is the new school grass? As Yan God¡¯s fan, who allows you to talk nonsense! Scumbags, draw your swords!


    [6F] Li Tao¡¯s little expert: I recently ate a melon that Qiu Zhenyang had a marriage contract with that part-time worker before, and later broke off the contract in order to pursue Cheng An¡¯an. Given this, it seems that there is no way they can live together.


    [7F] That¡¯s okay: Where did you get the melon upstairs? Begging for directions!


    [8F] Are you a pig: +1 for directions!


    [9F] Li Tao¡¯s little expert: here.


    [10F] Peerless goddess: So who is Qiu Zhenyang living with? This old lady can¡¯t hold back anymore, she can¡¯t wait to pounce¡­cough, cough, restrained. Hey, is he lying to us to stop the peach blossoms?


    [11F] You are short: Don¡¯t worry, I have already paid someone to help me follow him. Hmph, I found ten people this time. I don¡¯t believe that he can still get rid of them!


    [12F]wtf: Upstairs, awesome!


    [13F] Do you eat pigs: Remember to let us know when you find out~ (waves a handkerchief)


    The gossip ran rampant, but Qiu Zhenyang had no idea about it.


    ¡ª¨C


    Ling Mu found himself blocked many times before, and each time, their reason for doing so was always the same. Most of them weren¡¯t pleasing to the eye, they were pissed off by his arrogant attitude, and wanted to hit him.


    This time it was new. Someone was here to cause trouble for him due to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s matters.


    ¡°You and Young Master Qiu are roommates?¡± The blond omega in front of him glared at him with his hands on his hips, full of momentum. The jealousy in his eyes seemed about to materialize.


    Ling Mu looked down at him by taking advantage of his height and was too lazy to speak.


    Still Young aster Qiu? What are these omegas thinking of day in and day out?


    ¡°Are you dumb? Do you know how to be polite? I¡¯m talking to you!¡± Ize, a young master with a wealthy background, usually relied on his family¡¯s wealth and own beauty to run arrogant in the academy. But this time, he faced Ling Mu, who was a hard nail.


    This time Ling Mu reacted, snorting contemptuously.


    ¡°You!¡±


    Stomping fiercely with gritted teeth, Ize held his breath for a long moment. After all, him seeking out Ling Mu wasn¡¯t to pick a fight with him.


    After he figured it out, he said in a tone of contempt, as if he was doling out charity: ¡°You share a dormitory with Young Master Qiu now, right? Oh, I know you¡¯re poor, and are holding on to him for money. How about this, I¡¯ll give you 100,000, and my single-family villa, and you¡¯ll move out for me today.¡±


    After saying that, as if certain that Ling Mu would not refuse, Ize lowered his head and clicked the payment app on his terminal.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you the money,¡± He pulled up the transfer interface in front of Ling Mu, but the other party didn¡¯t move. Ize stared at Ling Mu impatiently, ¡°Can you hurry up? I have to organize my things and move them over there!¡±


    Ling Mu squinted at Ize¡¯s words, making the scar on his brow protrude a little, which made him seem even gloomier. ¡°F*ck your moving? What kind of sh*t are you?¡±


    Ize was stunned: ¡°You, you¡¯re scolding me!¡±


    ¡°You deserve a damn scolding.¡± Ling Mu gave him a cold look, then turned and left.


    ¡°Stop for me! I warn you, if you don¡¯t give me your dorm today, I¡¯ll see how you survive in this school! I, Ize, am not vegetarian!¡± Ize threatened, insisting that Ling Mu move today!


    But the warning was useless, Ling Mu didn¡¯t stop.


    Annoyed, he quickly ran forward and grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s arm. ¡°Stop for me, can¡¯t you hear me?¡±


    Ling Mu felt sick from the unfamiliar touch on his hand. Turning around suddenly, he threw the hand away, growling in disgust, ¡°Go away! Don¡¯t touch me!¡±


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s movements were too sudden, so the moment he pulled back his hand, Ize lost his footing and fell miserably to the ground. The pampered and raised Ize¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red, and he burst out crying. ¡°You pushed me! Bastard! Go to hell!¡±


    This shout was like a demonic sound, causing Ling Mu¡¯s face to turn even darker. ¡°You¡¯re weak so you¡¯re right?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m an omega! What¡¯s wrong with me? You think everyone is a freak like you?!¡±


    ¡°What about omegas? Although omegas are born weak, as long as you want to do it, it¡¯s possible. You can keep your body strong by exercising. No one will be weak their whole life.¡± Ling Mu frowned and gave him a contemptuous look, looking down at him.


    Everyone can choose their own path. Although an omega¡¯s physique is considered weak, there are many omegas who are unwilling and unreconciled, so they strengthened themselves \through various methods.


    Ling Mu¡¯s height and physique weren¡¯t better than other omegas at the beginning either. But because he admired his father who was a soldier since he was a child, and exercised regularly, he became like this.  He has always been proud of this, and will not care about other people¡¯s strange glances because of it.


    ¡°You¡¯re ugly, no matter how much you quibble, you can¡¯t change this fact! I really don¡¯t know how Young Master Qiu can live with you. A person like you should sleep in a garbage heap and live trampled by others, unable to raise their heads!¡± Ize, who was too angry, could only think of grinding the person in front of him into dust!


    Obviously uglier than him, obviously poorer than him, what qualifications does he have to  pretend to be aloof and despise him! He will definitely destroy this Ling Mu!


    ¡°Crazy.¡± Compared to Ize¡¯s madness, Ling Mu only thought that he was a fool. He rolled his eyes and left.


    If he stays with this idiot any longer, he will go crazy.


    It¡¯s all Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s fault. Why¡¯d he have to provoke so many omegas and rotten things!


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t tell Qiu Zhenyang about this, because he didn¡¯t take it to heart at all. And Ize wanted to save face, so didn¡¯t dare to tell others such a shameful thing.


    A month later, the operation of the Yaoyao Milk Tea Shop was on the right track. With the food delivery robots, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu don¡¯t have to be so busy. Unless the guests have something and call them over, they usually just sit at the front desk and watch.


    What surprised Qiu Zhenyang was that because the reputation of the milk tea shop gradually increased, many businessmen outside obtained his terminal number, trying to contact him to cooperate and open shops outside.


    He simply rejected all of these, directly adjusting his terminal to reject messages and friend requests from strangers.


    If he wanted to go into the restaurant industry, he could definitely do it with the strength of the Qiu family. But he wasn¡¯t interested in this. He planned to give the recipe to his grandmother when the semester is over. After all, she¡¯s the head of the First Consortium, and can execute such an operation better than him.


    He wanted to make that mecha game more instead.


    His obsession with this game is actually all for Ling Mu. There are very strict regulations around mechas, so apart from teaching purposes, people are generally not allowed to use mechas. Going to planets outside Capital Star where mechas can be used is extremely dangerous, so apart from virtual games, there really isn¡¯t any way to provide Ling Mu exposure to mechas and the thrill of mecha combat.


    Qiu Zhenyang already has some ideas in mind, and was waiting for the right timing.


    But when it comes to mechas, the most anticipated is the practical class on Friday.


    The practical course is the only course that one can really drive mechas, so almost all mecha enthusiasts have chosen this course. Due to the large number of students it was held in a special training building which had eight floors and two basements.


    The mechas in the basement are used for teaching. When they¡¯re needed, they are brought up by elevator. The lower four floors are where students in each grade are taught by instructors, and the upper four floors are where students fight independently.


    ¡°We spent all last month discussing manipulation, etc., but this time I can finally touch a real mecha! I want to 1 vs 10!¡± Yuan Chenyu excitedly looked at the mecha below and clenched his fists excitedly.


    This guy is not very interested in mecha knowledge, but he is very interested in driving mechas, so he also chose this class. Zhuo Hang was not so interested, but he chose this class to be with his friends, and yawned boredly at the side.


    Raising his eyebrows, Qiu Zhenyang glanced at Yuan Chenyu, and moved closer to Ling Mu in disgust.


    ¡°I¡¯ve introduced the process for operating mechas in class before. Today, everyone will have a chance to try it out. These are all mechas for teaching, and there is no danger. However, you should pay attention when operating not to move the mecha too much, as it¡¯s easy to tilt and fall.¡± The teacher explained in detail, and finally let people board once he finished speaking.


    ¡°Ling Mu, come with me later.¡± Qiu Zhenyang hooked Ling Mu¡¯s finger in the crowd and whispered.


    Ling Mu raised his eyebrows: ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°My mecha operation is pretty good. If you have any problems, I can help you solve it right away!¡± Qiu Zhenyang blinked, willing to ¡°degenerate¡± and become a tool man!


    Ling Mu looked at him up and down suspiciously. Although he knew that Qiu Zhenyang was from a Legion family and had a certain understanding of mechas, he heard that this person didn¡¯t like mechas before. It still remains to be seen how capable he truly is.


    However, Ling Mu did not refuse. Qiu Zhenyang walked with Ling Mu happily and found two mechas next to each other.


    The appearance of the inseparable pair made a person not far away gnash his teeth with hatred, and loathing flashed in his eyes. Without saying a word, Lin Nuo found a mecha and went in, sat in the cockpit and hammered the console hard.


    In the past month, Lin Nuo didn¡¯t say a word to Ling Mu because of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s attitude. Week after week, he watched as Ling Mu, who was thin because he could only drink nutrients, become stronger, and gain flesh on his cheeks. The lines on his gloomy and sullen face even became a little handsome, making it obvious he was getting better day by day.


    ¡°Ling Mu, what means did you use to make Qiu Zhenyang treat you like this?¡± Lin Nuo was about to go crazy with hatred. That Ling Mu who he never placed in his eyes! God knows how Qiu Zhenyang mocked and ridiculed Ling Mu after he went to the Lin family to break off their engagement. But now, he¡¯s just slapping them in the face!


    His eyes fell on the start button of the mecha, Lin Nuo clenched his fists and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: ¡°Tch, see how long you can be arrogant!¡±


    QZY¡­ you¡¯re already a toolman.


    Degenerating further means you¡¯re a stupid toolman.

 CH 32

    After sitting in the mecha, Qiu Zhenyang sighed with emotion. Although there are memories of the original body driving mecha in his memory, it¡¯s the first time he has used one, and he is inevitably a little nervous.


    The console in front of the driver¡¯s seat was full of buttons of different sizes. Although he was a little nervous, when he put his hand on the start button, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s body was still excited. Mechas are a powerful symbol, and just sitting in the cockpit can give people a feeling of excitement.


    The teacher¡¯s voice was transmitted to each mecha: ¡°Now, everyone press the start button and try to control the mecha to take two steps.¡±


    Each student pressed the start button according to the teacher¡¯s request. Buttons inside the mecha lit up, and various options also appeared on the glass screen, covering a large swath of one¡¯s field of vision.


    The moment Qiu Zhenyang adjusted the action lever, the mecha immediately moved. It seemed to be one with his body, as he skillfully started to control the mecha to walk. He was also the first person to move among all the students present, and the mecha¡¯s movements were very skilled and smooth, as if the person sitting inside was an expert in manipulating mecha.


    Full of excitement, Qiu Zhenyang then changed his perspective to Ling Mu¡¯s side. Because of the material used, people can look outside, but onlookers cannot peer inside the cockpit covered by glass. He could only see Ling Mu¡¯s mecha raising his arms stiffly and moving his legs. After a long time, it didn¡¯t take a step.


    Qiu Zhenyang directly dialed Ling Mu¡¯s terminal number. Ling Mu, who was seriously controlling the mecha, was almost scared to death by the sudden ringtone.


    ¡°Surnamed Qiu, do you f*cking know that we¡¯re in class?!¡± Ling Mu could not wait to kick Qiu Zhenyang. This guy can¡¯t do anything else, but scaring people is a certainty!


    The wronged Qiu Zhenyang who didn¡¯t know why Ling Mu was angry: ¡°I saw some problems with your operation, so I was going to answer your questions¡­ Sigh, forget it, I also know that you dismiss me who only knows these little tricks; after all, I¡¯m not a mecha great god!¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s lips twitched, and he said dryly, ¡°¡­Tsk, okay, how many times did you cry?¡±


    Don¡¯t know where the tall, upright Qiu Zhenyang has the face to act like this¡­?


    Looking at the action bar at hand, which couldn¡¯t be moved no matter how hard it was, Ling Mu couldn¡¯t hold back and asked, ¡°Help me for a bit, why is the action bar so heavy to control?¡±


    Qiu-Toolman-Zhenyang immediately answered with a wide-eyed smile: ¡°Will do, I¡¯m so happy!¡±


    Neither of them listened to the teacher much for the rest of class. Ling Mu kept controlling the mecha based on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s explanation. It¡¯s not that the teacher can¡¯t teach well, it¡¯s just that the explanation from his point of view is not as simple and easy to understand as Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s. After all, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s thoughts and ideas are closer to the habits of students.


    Ling Mu¡¯s progress was also considerable. In just one class, he was able to control the mecha¡¯s actions smoothly with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s training. However, he¡¯s still far off from mastering the movements.


    During the break, the students climbed off their mechas to rest. Ling Mu was pressing the close button, but before he could unfasten his seat belt, his mecha was violently hit by something. Ling Mu was directly blasted by the dull sound of metal collision, and his ears hurt!


    ¡°F*ck! What!¡± Ling Mu¡¯s whole world spun for a while, and he didn¡¯t even have time to press the start button.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who just got off the mecha outside, saw this scene. Pupils shrinking, he suddenly shouted: ¡°Ling Mu!¡±


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were attracted over, followed by the roar of a mecha falling to the ground. Stunned gasps of shock rang out as they saw Ling Mu¡¯s mecha falling forward!


    ¡°Ling Mu! Ling Mu!¡± Qiu Zhenyang ran over with a pale face. Panicking, he actually wanted to move this mecha three times taller than himself with his bare hands. ¡°Ling Mu, Ling Mu, please answer me, are you alright Ling Mu?¡±


    The mecha¡¯s cockpit door is on the chest, and with Ling Mu¡¯s mecha facedown, if he doesn¡¯t turn the mecha over, outsiders can¡¯t get in, and people inside can¡¯t get out.


    Qiu Zhenyang gritted his teeth and tried to turn the mecha over, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn¡¯t lift a mecha. While his heart was beating violently, he remembered that he could use another mecha to turn it over, and immediately stumbled and wanted to run towards his own mecha.


    The students around were watching nervously, not knowing what to do.


    Fortunately, the teacher finally arrived at this time. He was still driving the mecha and did not get down. Seeing this, he immediately asked Qiu Zhenyang and the surrounding students to stand farther away, and directly controlled his own mecha to turn Ling Mu¡¯s mecha over, carefully. Touched the cockpit door at the chest of the mech.


    Qiu Zhenyang rushed over first, followed the ladder extending out of the cockpit door, and jumped directly into the cockpit.


    ¡°Ling Mu, how are you?!¡± Seeing Ling Mu awake, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart dropped half, he untied his seat belt again, and took a good look at him from top to bottom. What suffocated him was the dark patch pooling in Ling Mu¡¯s left leg, making Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes darken.


    Ling Mu used his hand to get up from the driver¡¯s seat with difficulty, frowned and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing major, it¡¯s a little scratch.¡± In a bad mood, his cloudy eyes fell on Lin Nuo, who had just come off a mecha two meters away.


    Lin Nuo naturally returned a provocative look, his eyes full of contempt, as he even made a ¡°slash¡± gesture on his neck.


    ¡°Did he hit you?¡± Qiu Zhenyang followed Ling Mu¡¯s line of sight and saw Lin Nuo¡¯s arrogant attitude. He was furious.


    Ling Mu, who had suppressed his anger before, finally reached a breaking point!


    Lin Nuo, he shouldn¡¯t have spared this scum from the very beginning! He used to be able to swallow his anger in the Lin family for the sake of his sister. He has nothing to do with the Lin family now, yet he still perseveres to trouble himself!


    ¡°Ling Mu?¡± An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart as he watched him walk over to Lin Nuo with a pale face. He wanted to pull him to stop, but this time Ling Mu¡¯s reaction was quick, dodging Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand grabbing his arm, he raised his leg and rushed towards Lin Nuo!


    Leaving a trail of blood-colored shoe prints on the ground, Ling Mu rushed directly in front of Lin Nuo, and without a word, punched the beautiful face!


    ¡°Ah! Ahhh!!!¡± Lin Nuo¡¯s miserable cry sounded in the training ground. The painful cry was horrifying, and some timid omegas directly covered their ears. His screams did not end at once, but were continuous and extremely painful, because Ling Mu had no intention of letting this guy go with just one punch.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face was solemn as he watched Lin Nuo crying and calling for help from the alphas beside him. After all, he is the young master of the Lin family. He looks good and many people like him, and have willingly helped him teach Ling Mu a lesson or two in the past.


    Seeing this, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he jumped up to interfere. His fists are very different from Ling Mu¡¯s. Ling Mu can make Lin Nuo scream, but Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s fists can directly incapacitate those alphas before they can say a word.


    He didn¡¯t want to make things bigger originally. After all, this is a school, and Ling Mu still has to go to school. As for Lin Nuo¡¯s actions, he¡¯ll deal with them in private, and let this brat know what happens if they move the person next to him. But now that Ling Mu rushed up, Qiu Zhenyang naturally let go of all his scruples.


    Since Ling Mu wanted to beat up that idiot, Qiu Zhenyang would not let anyone disturb him.


    ¡°Damn, who the hell touched my brother!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang came a little late. The former shouted to join the battlefield, while the latter brought a few friends to barricade the chaotic space to prevent others from interfering.


    ¡°What are you doing, stop for me!¡± The teacher anxiously ran over to stop it. After turning over Ling Mu¡¯s mecha and seeing Qiu Zhenyang rescue him, he came down to maintain order and call nurses from the infirmary over. Who knew that before the call finished, the scene directly escalated into a melee!


    He wanted to go in and pull them apart, but was blocked by Zhuo Hang. The latter smiled softly, as if nothing had happened. ¡°Teacher, you can go in later, I¡¯m afraid the people inside will accidentally hurt you.¡±


    Also an alpha, Zhuo Hang is a few times taller than that teacher. He¡¯s obviously smiling, but his tone is bone cold. Zhuo Hang usually doesn¡¯t look imposing. His family environment is complicated, and his thoughts run deep. If it weren¡¯t for his two friends, Qiu Zhenyang and Yuan Chenyu, he might not be as normal as he is now. Therefore, even a teacher can¡¯t do anything when facing Zhuo Hang.


    ¡°You guys, you guys are going too far. You actually gathered a crowd to fight! I will tell the principal what happened today, and you will all be punished!¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Zhuo Hang asked as if really surprised, but then he smiled indifferently and shrugged. ¡°As you wish.¡±


    Ling Mu had already beaten Lin Nuo into a pig head, with a blue nose and a swollen face. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he squatted down and pulled Lin Nuo, who had collapsed on the ground, by the collar, and said coldly, ¡°This is what you owe me and Ling Dang. Remember the time you threw her into the pond? You almost drowned her back then, scumbag!¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyes turned blood red when he thought of his sister¡¯s tragic situation.


    He had endured enough. After his father died, he couldn¡¯t control his mother and could barely protect his sister. For the sake of his sister, he swallowed his anger at the Lin family. He was bullied, beaten and scolded by Lin Nuo, and treated like a beast by the Lin family, but even so, this guy didn¡¯t spare even a child in elementary school!


    ¡°You¡¯re dead, I¡¯m going to tell my father, I¡¯m going to make you die!!! I won¡¯t let you go, you and your sister, both have to die!¡± Lin Nuo was already crying, but with his arrogant self-esteem, he couldn¡¯t say any words to beg for mercy, and could only short and threaten instead.


    This time Ling Mu humiliated him. He would never let him go!


    Ling Mu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, raised his fist and smashed it down at Lin Nuo¡¯s face at wind speed!


    Go LM, show that bastard who¡¯s boss!

 CH 33

    ¡°Bang!¡± The surrounding students were terrified and did not dare make a sound.


    Lin Nuo slumped to the ground. Eyes wide, tears streamed from his red eyes as his body trembled out of fear.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who had finished dealing with the alphas, wiped the tiny wound under the corner of his right eye, and walked to Ling Mu and looked down at him quietly.


    ¡°Heh¡ª¡± Withdrawing the hand that had hit the ground beside Lin Nuo¡¯s cheek, Ling Mu coldly flicked the blood spilling from his hand. Looking at Lin Nuo with extreme contempt, he said slowly and firmly, ¡°I won¡¯t beat you in Ling Dang¡¯s name. You don¡¯t deserve it.¡±


    After that, Ling Mu stood up and walked towards the stairs.


    He really wanted to kill Lin Nuo, but the Lin family would definitely kill him if he did, and then there would be no one to take care of his sister. He can do anything, but he can¡¯t let his most precious sister suffer.


    Qiu Zhenyang followed Ling Mu, paused for a minute when passing by Lin Nuo. A small cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as he whispered to the person on the ground: ¡°If you don¡¯t want your whole family to suffer, don¡¯t think about revenge, understand? After all, everything is your own fault, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Seeing the two leave, Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang naturally didn¡¯t stay longer, and immediately left with a few friends.


    The field was quiet for a while and no one made a sound, but the teacher hurried over to check Lin Nuo¡¯s situation. Along the way, he called a few class reps to maintain order, and then immediately dismissed the rest of the class.


    When going down the stairs, Ji Qing pulled Cheng An¡¯an with a look of fear on his face and said, ¡°My god, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression was so terrifying just now. I felt the hairs on my skin stand up. My heart is shaking just thinking about it.¡±


    Cheng An¡¯an smiled slightly: ¡°It¡¯s really scary when he gets angry. ¡°


    Ji Qing shook his head, and said with some pity: ¡°It¡¯s no wonder that Lin Nuo was scared to tears¡­ tsk, but even if Qiu Zhenyang is terrifying, being scared enough to cry is embarrassing. He must be embarrassed to death.¡±


    An omega walking behind them heard their conversation and couldn¡¯t help interjecting, ¡°But that Lin Nuo is too much. Not only did he deliberately knock down someone in a mecha and hurt them, but hearing Ling Mu¡¯s words, it seems like he almost killed his sister in the past. If it were me, I wouldn¡¯t be able to stand it! I¡¯d beat him to death!¡±


    Another classmate responded: ¡°That¡¯s right, it was Lin Nuo who started it. Hitting him with a mecha in public can cause serious injuries. He doesn¡¯t even let the other side fight back? Anyway, I think that Ling Mu was quite handsome. Although he doesn¡¯t look like an omega, but the way he beat people just now is really handsome! Saying he won¡¯t beat him in the name of his sister, he¡¯s so cool!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, I think he¡¯s handsome too!¡±


    For a while, many omegas who watched the whole process were in awe of Ling Mu.


    Although Cheng An¡¯an listened to them with a smile, his eyes were always cold and dark. Just as everyone was hotly discussing him, he suddenly spoke up: ¡°It¡¯s no wonder Classmate Ling Mu is very powerful; he used to fight often. Not only with omegas, but alphas and betas as well. Seriously, there was a time I wondered if he was a beta. After all, he is really much stronger than us omegas.¡±


    Some others also raised doubts upon hearing his words. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve never seen such a powerful omega. He isn¡¯t pretending to be an omega, right?¡±


    ¡°Why would he pretend?¡±


    Ji Qing responded quickly, and immediately exclaimed: ¡°My god, it won¡¯t be to seduce Qiu Zhenyang, will it? Didn¡¯t someone say that Ling Mu was marked by Qiu Zhenyang. Maybe he wants to deceive Qiu Zhenyang by pretending to be an omega, drug him, and then make him mistakenly think that he marked Ling Mu?¡±


    Some omega expressed doubts: ¡°Do you think we¡¯re in a book? How is there such a fantastical thing? Ling Mu doesn¡¯t look like a person who can do that.¡±


    ¡°Why not, it¡¯s not impossible.¡± Ji Qing frowned and looked at Cheng An¡¯an for approval. ¡°An¡¯an, what do you say, Qiu Zhenyang chased you for a year, so why did he suddenly change targets? It must be something Ling Mu did!¡±


    Embarrassed, Cheng An¡¯an grabbed Ji Qing¡¯s arm and persuaded: ¡°It¡¯s alright, don¡¯t talk nonsense, how sjpi;d I know this, this¡­¡±


    With that, he pulled the person and hurried away.


    ¡ª¨C


    When Qiu Zhenyang caught up with Ling Mu, the latter was limping along the boulevard next to the training building.


    There was blood on his right leg and right hand. Half of his body resembled a demon from hell, and the icy expression on his face made people shy away. The students who saw Ling Mu¡¯s appearance were all scared and walked around him.


    In Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes, it was as if Ling Mu was separated from this world, getting further and further away from him.


    Immediately filled with a strong sense of unease, Qiu Zhenyang pursed his lips, walked quickly to Ling Mu, and squatted down with his back to him.


    ¡°What?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s tone was much better than when he talked to Lin Nuo before, but it was still a bit dull. Seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s inexplicable movements, the corners of his eyes twitched and he wanted to turn around.


    ¡°Come up, your leg is injured.¡± Qiu Zhenyang looked back at Ling Mu, with an attitude of non-refusal in his eyes.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t want Qiu Zhenyang to carry him, so he lifted his injured leg. ¡°It¡¯s just a little bit of skin trauma, no need.¡± He has been injured much worse and lost even more blood in the past, but was still able to walk to the hospital alone. His body is much better than before, and there¡¯s no need.


    Watching him continue forward, Qiu Zhenyang stood up and couldn¡¯t help sighing.


    It¡¯s not a good thing when his omega is too strong. It makes him completely useless!


    Just when Qiu Zhenyang stood up in regret, Ling Mu¡¯s body in front of him swayed twice without warning, and he was about to fall to the ground. Qiu Zhenyang hurried forward to catch him from behind, shouting anxiously: ¡°Ling Mu! What¡¯s wrong with you? What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    Ling Mu leaned against Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s chest for a moment in a trance, and after a while, his brain cleared.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, maybe I hit the back of my head when the mecha fell down.¡± Ling Mu shook his head and pushed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s chest to get up.


    But before he could push him away, Qiu Zhenyang bent down directly, wrapped one arm around Ling Mu¡¯s back under his armpit, and the other around his knees, and hugged him up.


    ¡°F*ck, f*ck! Qiu Zhenyang, let me down!¡± Ling Mu was so frightened by his actions that he hooked Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s neck with his left hand under the sudden weightlessness. He wanted to push his chest with his right hand, but there was blood dripping out. Seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s white shirt, he didn¡¯t do anything.


    Qiu Zhenyang ignored Ling Mu¡¯s yell, and walked towards the infirmary with ease.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, are you tired of life? Why are you doing?!¡± Ling Mu struggled to jump off, it was too embarrassing!


    ¡°Either I piggyback you away, or I carry you away, choose one.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was angered, and his words were equally harsh. This guy says he¡¯s okay? If he hadn¡¯t followed, Ling Mu would have fainted on the ground just now!


    Ling Mu, who hadn¡¯t noticed his anger, stubbornly clenched his neck. ¡°I choose neither. You let me down!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang narrowed his eyes.


    Disobedient?


    Okay, continue holding him like this!


    Qiu Zhenyang, who has excellent arm strength, just held Ling Mu and walked like he was flying. His arrogant princess caught a lot of attention for a while. The students who passed by had eyes wide, and some of them were quick enough to pull out their terminals and snap a photo.


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang ran after them not expecting to see this picture of abusing single dogs. Yuan Chenyu immediately raised his hand to cover his eyes and shouted, ¡°Oh shit, dad is blind. Son, come and help dad.¡±


    Zhuo Hang was disgusted: ¡°Who are you calling?¡±


    ¡°The son is calling dad.¡± Yuan Chenyu fell directly into the trap.


    ¡°En, my son is good.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu thought about it and looked at Zhuo Hang, ¡°Ah, that¡¯s not right! Damn it, Zhuo Hang, you set me up, I¡¯ll kill you!¡±


    ¡°You want to be a father with your IQ? Not in this lifetime.¡±


    The two laughed and turned around and walked away. Instead of wasting time eating dog food, they might as well go back and think about how to deal with today¡¯s matter. After all, a public fight is a big deal, and they need to think of a solution.


    On the other side, Ling Mu felt his face was going to burst into flames. Too many eyes were focused on him, making him uncomfortable.


    But Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t let him down, and even hugged him even tighter!


    ¡°F*ck, I choose piggyback! Piggyback! In desperation, Ling Mu had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, pinching the back of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s neck with his hand.


    Qiu Zhenyang hissed at the pinch, and stopped angrily to look at the person in his arms: ¡°I have to change because you want me to? Do you really think I have no temper with you? There¡¯s an additional condition now if you want to change; who made you refuse me earlier?¡±


    ¡°What condition?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change: ¡°Kiss me.¡±


    ¡°What the hell is this?¡±


    ¡°Hmph, then don¡¯t come down.¡± After speaking, Qiu Zhenyang continued to walk.


    ¡°Stop, stop, I understand! You let me down first. How can I kiss you in this posture!¡± Ling Mu gritted his teeth and stopped fighting, feeling that he was completely led by the nose.


    Qiu Zhenyang, whose trick succeeded, hugged the person to a corner, and let him down after he was sure that there was no one around. He doesn¡¯t care about prying eyes, but Ling Mu does! Qiu Zhenyang took great pain to quietly enjoy Ling Mu¡¯s first active kiss.


    After putting the person down, in order to relieve the pressure on Ling Mu¡¯s injured foot, Qiu Zhenyang also supported his waist intimately.


    ¡°Let¡¯s kiss.¡±


    His anger just now hadn¡¯t completely disappeared, and his face was still stern. Ling Mu didn¡¯t even have a chance to regret it. In the end, he was still a little afraid of Qiu Zhenyang. Whether it was his superior pheromone and mental power that overwhelmed almost all alphas, or his absolute power like a god of war when he beat people just now, it made people feel jealous of this normally smiling boy.


    However, the reason why Ling Mu was still willing to stay by his side is that Qiu Zhenyang never really forced him, let alone hit him.


    Taking a deep breath, Ling Mu looked at the handsome face in front of him, frowning and considering where to kiss.


    Anyway, he didn¡¯t say where to kiss, so¡­ just kiss his face casually, right?


    After making up his mind, Ling Mu stood on tiptoe, turned his head slightly and kissed Qiu Zhenyang on the cheek.


    But at the moment when his lips were about to touch the fair skin, Qiu Zhenyang moved slightly, bowed his head sideways, and their lips met!


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyes widened in shock. Before he could react, Qiu Zhenyang grabbed him by the waist and wrapped him into his arms. Their bodies slammed into each other, followed by sucking that was so hot that the soul shuddered. Lips to lips, tongue to tongue, Qiu Zhenyang pressed the person into his arms, wantonly savoring those soft and sweet lips.


    ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Ling Mu clenched his fists and hit Qiu Zhenyang twice, but instead of making the latter let go, his lips and teeth went deeper.


    The sticky sound of water intertwined between the lips of the two, and the force of Ling Mu¡¯s beating turned softer. His eyes gradually blurred, and the strong and tender kisses made his scalp numb and his head dizzy. Everything around him seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, until Qiu Zhenyang embraced him softly and devoured him wantonly¡­


    Hm, is this NSFW or not?

    ¡°You cheated¡­¡±


    ¡°You did it yourself, don¡¯t blame me.¡±


    On the way to the infirmary with his wish fulfilled, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes were full of joy, and he was extremely satisfied.


    Lying on his back, Ling Mu¡¯s face was buried in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s shoulder, and his ears were flushed red.


    He was kissed by this idiot Qiu Zhenyang and almost fainted from hypoxia! F¡¯ck! How embarrassing!


    As soon as he remembered what happened just now, Ling Mu wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in! He would never have thought that he would actually enjoy Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s kiss, like his embrace, and even feel numb as long as he gently stroked his hair¡­


    Knowing that Ling Mu was too embarrassed at this moment, Qiu Zhenyang did not continue teasing him. He silently carried the person to the infirmary.


    ¡°Did you fight? How did you get hurt like this?¡± The person on duty in the infirmary today was the same Doctor Yu last time. She was shocked to see both of them covered in blood and dust.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled shyly: ¡°Well, something happened. Please take a look at Ling Mu. He was knocked down while driving the mecha just now, and was injured on his hands and legs, and bled a lot.¡±


    Doctor Yu¡¯s expression suddenly turned solemn as she led them inside. ¡°Come with me. If you fell in the mecha, your head might be injured. On the way here, did you feel dizzy or nauseous?¡±


    Ling Mu recalled: ¡°A little dizzy.¡±


    It was because he almost fainted that Qiu Zhenyang wanted to carry him away.


    Doctor Yu nodded to show her understanding, and immediately examined Ling Mu first. The test results came out soon, a slight concussion, but fortunately nothing major.


    Hearing the result, Qiu Zhenyang breathed a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Come here, I¡¯ll treat your wounds first.¡± After ensuring his head was fine, she began to deal with those terrifying wounds. Qiu Zhenyang seemed to be fine. Although there was blood on his clothes, it didn¡¯t look like he belonged to him. It was mainly Ling Mu who looked a little scary with blood all over his body.


    Doctor Yu took out the disinfectant and healing agent, and carefully helped Ling Mu disinfect and treat his wounds. Qiu Zhenyang watched from the side, heart aching as he saw the ferocious wounds on Ling Mu¡¯s body.


    His Ling Mu actually suppressed so many negative experiences from the Lin family¡­ If he hadn¡¯t said it himself today, Qiu Zhenyang wouldn¡¯t have known how miserable he was. The original text didn¡¯t reference Ling Mu¡¯s life much. Only some things related to the protagonist shou are pointed out, and only Ling Mu knows the extent to which he was bullied.


    When Ling Mu¡¯s wound were about done, a colleague came in and called Doctor Yu in a hurry. Looking at the remaining injuries, Qiu Zhenyang volunteered: ¡°I can take care of the rest, Doctor Yu, you can go first.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go out first. If you can¡¯t fix it, leave it alone, and I¡¯ll deal with it when I¡¯m done.¡± Teacher Yu hurried away after saying this sentence.


    After watching for a while, Qiu Zhenyang knew the ins and outs of treatment, and helped Ling Mu with his remaining injuries.


    The infirmary was quiet. Sitting on the medical bed, Ling Mu looked down at the teenager who squatted down to treat his leg injury with mixed feelings in his heart.


    ¡°You¡¯re injured.¡± Ling Mu¡¯s hand touched the bloodstain under Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes. The wound was not big, and had scabbed over after a while, but it was quite obvious on the flawless face.


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t lift his head. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyelids trembled. He didn¡¯t know what to say, and silently retracted his hand.


    Qiu Zhenyang finished treating the remaining wounds after a while. Standing up, he stretched his stiff body from squatting for a long time. ¡°I¡¯m done. Let¡¯s wait for Doctor Yu to come back and let her take a look. If there aren¡¯t any problems, I¡¯ll bring you back.¡±


    Ling Mu pursed his lower lip and suddenly beckoned to Qiu Zhenyang.


    Such intimate gestures are rare. Qiu Zhenyang was stunned for a moment, and immediately leaned over with a smile: ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Xiao Mumu, what¡¯s your order~¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t play tricks, sit still.¡± Ling Mu frowned and pressed the person down to sit beside him. He grabbed his collar with one hand and pulled him over, while the other hand picked up the contents of the medical tray beside him, and carefully disinfected the wound on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face.


    The sudden stinging pain caused Qiu Zhenyang to let out a hiss. Seeing this, Ling Mu¡¯s strength, which was not heavy to begin with, lightened.


    There was still some time before noon, and the sun coming in through the window was a little bright, but Qiu Zhenyang was reluctant to blink. After raising him for so long, Ling Mu¡¯s appearance has improved a lot, and his heart was warm watching Ling Mu¡¯s handsome face and gentle expressions and actions at this moment.


    Receiving this bit of Ling Mu¡¯s concern for him, Qiu Zhenyang felt that all the bad things he did in the morning were worth it!


    Finally, a bandage was attached, and Ling Mu carefully tapped it twice to prevent it from falling off.


    ¡°Okay.¡± After finishing the task at hand, Ling Mu was slightly startled when he saw Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s affectionate eyes, and his ears were a little red.


    ¡°You¡¯re so nice.¡± Qiu Zhenyang grinned. Moving his handsome face a little closer, his black eyes seemed to be filled with bright stars.


    ¡°What did you say, go back.¡± Ling Mu turned his face away as if to escape. He raised his hand to push Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face away, and got out of bed to fix his rolled up trouser legs.


    Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly stopped. ¡°Ah, stop, stop. The jeans are a little tight, what will you do if it presses on the wounds later? Just go back like this, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    Ling Mu hesitated for a while, but did as he said.


    After the doctor came back, Qiu Zhenyang swiped his card to pay and carried his person back.


    This time Ling Mu didn¡¯t feel awkward anymore, because the dizziness from the concussion returned.


    After returning to the villa, Qiu Zhenyang carried him directly into his room.


    ¡°Go take a bath first, and get a good night¡¯s sleep after bathing.¡± Although the concussion is not serious, he still needs a good rest. Anyway, he lost all mood to go to class in the afternoon after this happened. It¡¯s better to let Ling Mu take care of his body. As for Lin Nuo, Qiu Zhenyang naturally has his own solution.


    Ling Mu¡¯s body felt a little uncomfortable, so he was very obedient. Qiu Zhenyang helped him bandage his wounds, and grabbed a change of clothes, before pushing him to the bathroom.


    When he came out, Qiu Zhenyang was no longer in the room. Ling Mu felt a little dizzy, and fell directly onto his bed, closing his eyes to ease the discomfort in his body.


    Sleep came quickly after he lay down.


    After Qiu Zhenyang finished his call and returned, he saw Ling Mu sleeping soundly. His face was a little pale, and he was obviously tortured by the symptoms of the concussion, frowning slightly even while asleep.


    He gently walked over and picked him up. Qiu Zhenyang moved him back to his bedroom, carefully placed him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.


    Ling Mu has always slept on the ground, because the bed is reserved for his sister. Ling Mu has always been very careful in this regard. However, the ground is cold and hard. Even with a quilt, it was still very uncomfortable, so Qiu Zhenyang carried him to his room to sleep.


    After placing the person on the bed, Qiu Zhenyang squatted down beside the bed and looked at him for a while, then left the room when his terminal started to flash.


    Closing the door gently, Qiu Zhenyang walked out of the dormitory all the way to the principal¡¯s office. On the way, he joined Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu, and the trio walked together.


    ¡°Have you got something?¡± Qiu Zhenyang asked Zhuo Hang.


    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± Zhuo Hang looked relaxed and didn¡¯t look nervous at all. Beside him, Yuan Chenyu was chewing gum leisurely.


    Just looking at the current situation, no one would have imagined that the three of them were called to the principal¡¯s office, and might even be punished.


    When they neared the principal¡¯s office, the cry from the inside was particularly clear. Qiu Zhenyang and the others all recognized this cry. After all, they had just heard it, and it was fresh in their minds.


    ¡°Principal Jiang, we have always admired the school and you, but now that something like this happens, how can we parents trust your school? Who would dare to send their children to the Interstellar Academy in the future?¡± A young woman¡¯s voice came out. It sounded like Lin Nuo¡¯s mother.


    ¡°Ms. Weng, don¡¯t worry, given the impact of this matter, the school will definitely give student Lin an explanation.¡± The principal reassured Lin Nuo, who was crying with red eyes.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who had listened at the door, smiled coldly, knocked on the door, and went in.


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang and the others coming in, Lin Nuo stopped crying and hid behind his mother in fear.


    Seeing this, Weng Quan naturally knew who was coming. She pinched Lin Nuo in disgust and was astonished when she saw who came in. ¡°You are¡­ the young master of the Qiu family?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang hooked his lips and looked over at the lady wearing a famous brand in front of him. ¡°Aunt Weng, long time no see.¡±


    In order to get the Qiu family to make an engagement with Ling Mu, Weng Quan had been to the Qiu family several times with her husband Lin Zhiyuan, and naturally knew Qiu Zhenyang.


    As if suddenly realizing something, Weng Quan hurriedly looked at Lin Nuo who was hiding behind her: ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that the person who beat you was Ling Mu? Why did Young Master Zhenyang come here?¡±


    Lin Nuo didn¡¯t dare to speak. Although Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t hit him, he stopped the person who wanted to save him. He obviously made up his mind to stand on Ling Mu¡¯s side.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it, Aunt Weng.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took a step forward and glanced at Lin Nuo lightly. ¡°It¡¯s like this, in the morning class, Lin Nuo drove a mecha and knocked down Ling Mu who was in the cockpit of another mecha, hurting Ling Mu¡¯s leg, and causing a slight concussion. This caused his emotions to go out of control, so much so that he sought Lin Nuo for revenge.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang spoke very skillfully, putting Ling Mu¡¯s injury to the forefront, using it as an excuse for losing control of emotions after being injured to seek revenge and beat Lin Nuo.


    As soon as Weng Quan heard this, she knew that Lin Nuo was in the wrong, and immediately opened her mouth to defend him: ¡°Zhenyang, is it possible that you¡¯ve made a mistake? Although our little Nuo is usually arrogant, he will definitely not do such a thing. It¡¯s that wild child Ling Mu who holds a grudge against our Lin family, so he did this to Xiaonuo!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help smiling, but his eyes were cold. ¡°Really? So the actions your family took made him hate you to this degree?¡±


    Choked up, the strength behind Weng Quan¡¯s next words was relatively weak, ¡°Well, what can we do? After the three of them arrived at Lin¡¯s house, we served them delicious food and drink but at the end of the day, they didn¡¯t know how to be grateful. They were angry with us because of your broken marriage contract, Zhenyang, and moved out without saying a word.¡±


    Hearing Weng Quan confuse right and wrong, the chill in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes intensified.


    With such a Lin family matriarch, it is conceivable how badly Ling Mu and Ling Dang lived.


    As if you (the Lin family) served them good food and drink!

 CH 35

    ¡°It¡¯s useless to say so much. It¡¯s better to look at the facts and speak.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang glanced at Zhuo Hang who was behind him. The latter stepped forward to borrow a terminal from the principal and started up the surveillance video.


    The principal was a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that Qiu Zhenyang would pull out the surveillance immediately. After all, schools generally tend to settle things peacefully if possible, but once monitoring is involved, it means that one party does not want to settle peacefully.


    Seeing the surveillance showing his mecha heading towards Ling Mu, Lin Nuo tugged on Weng Quan¡¯s clothes with a guilty conscience.


    Weng Quan pushed him away with a glare, and continued watching the video with a solemn expression.


    Security measures in the training building are much higher than other buildings because it houses valuable mechas. Zhuo Hang¡¯s called up a total of four angles of videos, each one showing that it was Lin Nuo who headed for Ling Mu at the beginning, and knocked him down with his mecha.


    After the videos disappeared, Lin Nuo couldn¡¯t help voicing, ¡°What about afterwards? Didn¡¯t he hit me after?¡±


    ¡°Because that¡¯s not important,¡± Qiu Zhenyang said naturally. ¡°You are the culprit. Ling Mu beating you up is just self-defense. After all, who knows if a lunatic like you will do something else besides knocking down his mecha. Of course he has to strike first.¡±


    Weng Quan wanted to retort, but had no solid reason. Moreover, she was afraid of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s identity.


    The Lin family has always wanted to befriend the Qiu family. After all, the Qiu family¡¯s financial and military power are at the top, and they play a pivotal role in the entire interstellar space. Countless people want to befriend them. It¡¯s too uneconomical to tear faces with Qiu Zhenyang because of one Ling Mu.


    Qiu Zhenyang knew some of the twists and turns in Weng Quan¡¯s heart, and his sneer deepend. ¡°You have seen the surveillance video. If there is no objection, I hope you can give Ling Mu an explanation.¡±


    At this moment, the principal noticed the other two who came with Qiu Zhenyang were both alphas, not Ling Mu. He had some impression of Ling Mu due to the problem with accommodations at the start of the school year, so he looked at Qiu Zhenyang and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t Ling Mu come? Don¡¯t you two live together?¡±


    Weng Quan was shocked. Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu live together? What¡¯s going on?


    At the beginning, Qiu Zhenyang went to the Lin family to break off the marriage for another omega. And now he¡¯s messing with Ling Mu again. What does it mean?


    ¡°Concussion, he¡¯s resting. If the principal doesn¡¯t believe me, I¡¯ll call Doctor Yu and ask her to prove it?¡±


    Eyes twitching, Principal Jiang waved his hands. ¡°No, let him rest.¡±


    Turning his head around the office twice, he looked at Qiu Zhenyang and Weng Quan reluctantly. ¡°Our school still advocates peace, and it mainly depends on both of your intentions.¡±


    Because he knew the relationship between Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, Principal Jiang directly let Qiu Zhenyang represent Ling Mu.


    Weng Quan frowned and glanced at Lin Nuo, feeling very uncomfortable. It¡¯s okay to deal with Ling Mu, what¡¯s the point of involving Qiu Zhenyang? This is simply causing trouble for themselves.


    Lin Nuo was sobbing and didn¡¯t dare to say anything at this moment.


    He can be arrogant and domineering outside, but it¡¯s because of his parents¡¯ protection. How could he speak up in the face of Weng Quan¡¯s glare?


    Seeing that they didn¡¯t make a sound, Qiu Zhenyang said indifferently: ¡°The provocateur will be punished with a major demerit, and one year class suspension.¡±


    ¡°You, you¡¯re going too far!¡± Lin Nuo couldn¡¯t hold back. Why should he receive a major demerit and be suspended? How will he face people in the future!


    Qiu Zhenyang pretended to be surprised. ¡°It seems that you are not convinced? Okay, then I will submit the surveillance to the court this afternoon and sue you for intentional murder. Are you satisfied?¡±


    Yuan Chenyu chuckled behind him, and Zhuo Hang was also very satisfied. As if treating Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words as truth, he added, ¡°Hey, where is the court? I¡¯ll search for the location. Let¡¯s go as soon as possible.¡±


    Hearing the word ¡°court¡±, Lin Nuo¡¯s face paled. Legs losing all strength, he tugged Weng Quan¡¯s hand with hopeless eyes. ¡°No, no, mom, I can¡¯t let them sue me in court. I don¡¯t want to go to jail, I don¡¯t want to go to jail!¡±


    Gritting her teeth, Weng Quan¡¯s face was extremely bad as she looked at Qiu Zhenyang resentfully and said: ¡°Young master Qiu, do you really want to do this?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already given you a chance. It¡¯s just a big demerit and suspension for a year. It¡¯s better than going to jail. Aunt Weng, what do you think?¡± Qiu Zhenyang was very arrogant, but he had the support of the entire Qiu family. How can he be afraid of a Lin family?


    Principal Jiang thought for a while. Although these were heavy punishments for Lin Nuo, they were indeed much better than going to court. But he didn¡¯t say a thing. Everything depended on the results of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s discussion with Weng Quan. Both sides have powerful family backing, and he doesn¡¯t dare interfere casually.


    Facing Qiu Zhenyang, who was obviously not open to refusal, Weng Quan bowed her head to the junior who was a generation younger than her for the first time in her life.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s do it like this, thank you, young master Qiu.¡±


    Weng Quan pulled Lin Nuo away with a cold face with a clenched jaw.


    Having achieved his goal, Qiu Zhenyang thanked Principal Jiang and left with Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu.


    ¡°Awesome Qiu Zhenyang! I thought that the Lin family would never give up. After all, the Lin family is part of the Third Consortium.¡± Yuan Chenyu followed Qiu Zhenyang and patted him on the shoulder.


    Zhuo Hang said flatly: ¡°What about the Third Consortium, Zhenyang¡¯s grandmother is the person in power of the First Consortium. They can¡¯t win in terms of money, let alone power. How can beat the Chief Legion¡¯s family?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled evastively. ¡°I¡¯d rather they make a big fuss about it, so that Lin Nuo might be expelled directly.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu rolled his eyes and said incredulously, ¡°No way, you weren¡¯t so ruthless before. Seriously, how did that Lin Nuo mess with you and make you want to kill him?¡±


    ¡°He didn¡¯t mess with me, he messed with Ling Mu.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s tone was light, but Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang, who were familiar with him, could hear the coldness in his words.


    Thinking of the dog food they ate after coming out of the training building, the two probably knew why.


    ¡°Tsk tsk, is this how you are when you really like someone? My god, it¡¯s so scary. It¡¯s completely different from when you were chasing Cheng An¡¯an!¡± Yuan Chenyu couldn¡¯t help marveling. He also heard the words Qiu Zhenyang left Lin Nuo this morning. No wonder Lin Nuo was frightened to tears. Even him, an alpha, felt shaky after seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression!


    Zhuo Hang nodded and patted Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s shoulder: ¡°It looks like you¡¯ve really fallen this time. If you need any help in the future, just tell us. We¡¯ll help!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang finally smiled with their support. ¡°Okay, then come and help me now. The milk tea shop needs to open, hurry up and entertain guests with me!¡±


    The pair wailed for a while, but after hearing Qiu Zhenyang invite them to the dormitory for dinner after the shop closed, they happily followed.


    Because he was worried about starving Ling Mu, Qiu Zhenyang only opened the store until twelve o¡¯clock. The milk tea shop is doing well, and his prices are relatively high. Even an hour¡¯s turnover is equal to a half-day at other shops.


    On the way from the milk tea shop to the dormitory, Yuan Chenyu was so shocked when he heard that Qiu Zhenyang was living with Ling Mu, his jaw almost dropped.


    ¡°Damn it, looks like the forums guessed correctly? You can do it, Qiu Zhenyang. Not telling us this kind of big thing! Come on, when did you manage to win him over?¡± Yuan Chenyu pressed Qiu Zhenyang by the neck.


    Qiu Zhenyang twisted his arm back and snorted twice: ¡°Why should I tell you, so you can come to the dormitory to harass me every day?¡±


    Zhuo Hang gave a thumbs up. ¡°Good brother, you know us well!¡±


    ¡°Hey, I say¡­ It seems that the name of your milk tea shop is also very tricky, Yaoyao milk tea shop¡­ The wood is the ¡®mu¡¯ from Ling Mu, and the sun is the ¡®yang¡¯ from Qiu Zhenyang. Ah, you mean to let him press on you, ah?¡± Yuan Chenyu can¡¯t do anything else, but his ability to dig gossip is quite good.[/mfn]èà (Yao) = Ling Mu¡¯s Mu (ľ) on the top, and the radical from ¡®Yang¡¯ (Ñô) Qiu Zhenyang on the bottom.[/mfn]


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows and smiled meanly: ¡°Is it a problem if he¡¯s on top of me?¡±


    He considered many alternatives when coming up with the shop name, before finally choosing this one. Even if it was just a milk tea shop name, he wanted to associate Ling Mu with him, showing that it belonged to the two of them.


    Zhuo Hang had goosebumps from seeing his smile. ¡°F*ck, your smile is vulgar.¡±


    ¡°Who are you talking about?¡±


    Yuan Chenyu followed suit: ¡°Your mind is full of dirty yellow things!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang went up and gave one of them a fist. ¡°You two are yellow! You two were crabs in your last life, and are completely yellow!¡±


    Zhuo Hang ran and laughed: ¡°Hahaha, finally embarrassed!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu was beaten and cried out, ¡°F*ck Qiu Zhenyang, you still beat us! Wait, what is this ¡®crab¡¯ thing?¡±


    Laughing, the duo followed Qiu Zhenyang to the dorm. After entering the door, they were ordered to keep quiet. Qiu Zhenyang asked the pair to sit in the living room, while he went upstairs to check on Ling Mu. Seeing that he was still asleep, he closed the door softly and went downstairs to make lunch.


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang were still very curious about Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s ability to cook, and they followed him into the kitchen to watch him operate.


    Thinking of the crowd today, Qiu Zhenyang was going to make four dishes and one soup. When washing vegetables, he also talked about the game that he had mentioned to the two before, and shared the general idea. Although it is based on the general model of games from his previous world, the situation here is different after all, so he rethought about many places.


    After hearing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s plan, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu were both shocked.


    ¡°This game mode sounds very interesting. If it is really made, I can guarantee that it will definitely become the most popular game!¡± Yuan Chenyu is a game fan, and can feel more about what Qiu Zhenyang described.


    Zhuo Hang is also a whale1as in spending money on games. Although he doesn¡¯t play much, he loses money easily. At this time, he also agreed. ¡°It feels a lot more interesting than the games I have played before, so what are you going to do next? The three of us have never been in the game industry.¡±


    ¡°No hurry, I will tell my grandma about this project.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took out a fish from the refrigerator and prepared to make fish soup. ¡°I will find the programmers for the game myself. If you two want to become shareholders, just give me the money.¡±


    He had to create this game. After all, it was a game he made for Ling Mu.


    Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu looked at each other, their eyes were a little hot. As rich second generations, it¡¯s rare to feel so passionately about something. If Qiu Zhenyang can really make this game, then the two of them can be regarded as veterans.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the money will be in place. If you need any help, feel free to tell me!¡± Yuan Chenyu waved his hand, wishing to put his money in now.


    Zhuo Hang has already started planning, talking about calculating the initial investment, while walking to the living room.


    Seeing this, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help chuckling. It seemed that no matter what world he was in, things are always more pleasant with friends.


    After lunch was ready, Qiu Zhenyang went upstairs to wake Ling Mu up.


    What¡¯s more surprising was that Ling Mu, who¡¯s cold and stern when awake, was so cute lying in bed that Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s nose bled!


    ¡°Mumu, get up and have a meal first, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable~¡± Qiu Zhenyang knelt on one knee beside the bed and called him softly.


    Ling Mu seemed to be conscious. Frowning, soft lips opened and closed gently, not knowing what he was muttering, and his rosy face shrank into the quilt.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart melted when he saw it, and his voice softened: ¡°Be good, get up and eat before going back to sleep.¡±


    The dizziness from the concussion was more obvious now. Ling Mu just wanted to lie down and do nothing. But in order to get him up, Qiu Zhenyang pinched his nose and scratched his cheek preventing Ling Mu from falling asleep. He could only hug the quilt and turn over randomly, protesting with a hum.


    In the process of twisting, Ling Mu¡¯s long legs and waist were turned out from the quilt. Because the clothes he wore after taking a shower were relatively loose, white thighs and a slender waist exposed themselves under the wrinkled clothes, turning Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes red.


    ¡°Ling Mu, I¡¯m going to kiss you if you don¡¯t get up.¡± His voice was hoarse, and Qiu Zhenyang felt that the job of getting Ling Mu up was really happy and painful~


    His threat didn¡¯t enter Ling Mu¡¯s ears. The latter hugged the quilt even more tightly, and this time, his entire head was covered under the quilt to protest Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s bad behavior!


    ¡°Tsk, this is your own doing, you can¡¯t blame me¡­¡±


    Muttering in his mouth, Qiu Zhenyang lifted the quilt and stuffed his head into the bed¡­


    QZY: Mumu¡¯s on top. Hehe~


    Ling Mu: Go die!

 CH 36

    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s quilt was soaked in the scent of his pheromones. At this moment, Ling Mu¡¯s light fragrance wove in bits and pieces, lingering in his nose, sucking Qiu Zhenyang in.


    Borrowing the thin beams of light that had snuck in, he found Ling Mu¡¯s lips and kissed him. Hot humid lips rubbed constantly, and the tip of his tongue couldn¡¯t help slipping in, half gentle and half rough.


    ¡°Why are your lips so soft? So fragrant¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help muttering while taking advantage of the situation. His dishonest hand stretched out to Ling Mu¡¯s smooth waist, firmly kneading the supple flesh.


    He really wanted to eat Ling Mu so much. How could he be so tempting!


    The quilt was stuffy and a little hot, and the heat almost steamed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mind alive.


    ¡°Nn, it¡¯s hot¡­¡± Just as Qiu Zhenyang was falling further and further, Ling Mu was finally woken up by the kiss, and pushed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s shoulder uncomfortably.


    The heat on his lips still lingered, and even the air in his lungs was almost drained. Ling Mu, who was finally willing to open his eyes, could see nothing in the darkness. Only the entangled kiss and the strong pheromones indicated what happened just then.


    Suddenly there was a dull bang in the room.


    ¡°Ouch! Xiao Mumu, you¡¯re so cruel~¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang came out of the quilt aggrievedly, clutching his blue-black right eye, biting his lips. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I saw you weren¡¯t waking up, so I wanted to wake you up to eat.¡±


    ¡°Heh, the way you wake people up is quite special.¡± Ling Mu wiped his lips that were red from the kiss, but the blush on his face did not fade.


    He was kissed twice by this Qiu Zhenyang, but he didn¡¯t actually have much resistance? Ling Mu felt that there was something wrong with his mind, but he didn¡¯t want to ponder it over at all.


    Seeing that Ling Mu didn¡¯t seem to be too angry, Qiu Zhenyang became happy again. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him. ¡°How is it, are you still uncomfortable? Can you go downstairs?¡±


    Ling Mu shook his head. ¡°I slept for a while. I feel fine.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go down to eat first.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was still thinking about Ling Mu¡¯s stomach. It¡¯s not good for his health if he doesn¡¯t have three regular meals a day. Not to mention that he is still injured and needs to rest.


    Ling Mu was really hungry at this moment. Lifting up the quilt, he was about to get off the bed, but his legs paused as soon they touched ground.


    ¡°This is¡­ your room?¡± No wonder he always felt something was wrong. It turned out that Qiu Zhenyang moved him into his room!


    Qiu Zhenyang took it for granted, and nodded. ¡°Yeah, I saw that you didn¡¯t want to sleep on Ling Dang¡¯s bed, and the floor is uncomfortable, so I carried you here. You still have injuries, so its better to be careful.¡±


    ¡°Is there a connection?¡± Ling Mu expressed doubt.


    ¡°Of course there is! The ground is cold and hard. Your bed is not only narrow but also thin. If you roll over and hit the ground with those injuries, won¡¯t it be painful to death?¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes were very guilty as he randomly made up a reason.


    Seeing that Ling Mu was still suspicious, Qiu Zhenyang found something to do and helped him put on his slippers. ¡°Hurry up, hurry up. The food I cooked is already ready. It¡¯ll get cold if you dally any longer!¡±


    After helping Ling Mu put on his slippers, Qiu Zhenyang, who changed the topic, immediately picked him up in a princess carry and strode to the door.


    ¡°Damn it, Qiu Zhenyang, are you f*cking addicted to carrying me? I can walk these few steps myself!¡± Ling Mu¡¯s anger swelled up. This kind of ghastly posture, he wasn¡¯t one of those delicate omegas that needed to gasp for breath every two steps!


    Qiu Zhenyang was really addicted. He smiled as he picked up his pace. ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t be shy, Xiao Mumu. There¡¯s no one at home, it doesn¡¯t matter~¡±


    After a few words, he carried the person to the living room.


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang who each had a roast chicken leg in their mouths looked at Qiu Zhenyang who was holding Ling Mu downstairs with dull expressions.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t pay attention at first, but his face suddenly turned dark when he saw the two at the table. ¡°Who the hell said there¡¯s no one???¡±


    ¡°They aren¡¯t humans, they are pigs.¡± Qiu Zhenyang readily sold his friends.


    Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu: ???


    Coaxing your wife is coaxing your wife, what¡¯s with the personal attacks?!


    A minute later, Qiu Zhenyang served Ling Mu with a freshly baked black eye socket on his left eye. The symmetrical black eye sockets made him look like a panda. ¡°Come on, try this sweet and sour tenderloin, I know you prefer sweet and sour flavors so I made this especially for you. It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve made this; I¡¯ve been researching it for a long time.¡±


    Ling Mu ate a piece of the sweet and sour meat. It tasted really good.


    On the other side, Zhuo Hang looked up at Qiu Zhenyang from time to time, then lowered his head and smiled.


    Yuan Chenyu chewed and chewed, and said a little unhappily: ¡°Can you stop showing off your love, I¡¯ll be full just by watching you.¡±


    ¡°Single dogs should roll to the side. You can¡¯t even keep your mouth shut when eating.¡± Qiu Zhenyang glared at him and continued to court Ling Mu. Although Ling Mu gave him a pair of panda eyes, he¡¯s very satisfied today. They hugged and kissed, and just thinking about it makes him very happy~


    The pair looked at him with disdain, shaking their heads in regret at their brother who was utterly carried away by love.


    Halfway through the meal, Qiu Zhenyang told Ling Mu what happened in the principal¡¯s office earlier today, mainly explaining the result of Lin Nuo¡¯s punishment.


    ¡°I saw that they were very unwilling when they left. They might pull some tricks in the future. Remember to pay attention in the future.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was not at ease. Lin Nuo was not something to be afraid of, but his mother was not easy to deal with.


    Ling Mu looked at him a little and hummed softly.


    When he was in the Lin family, he was able to come out alive despite walking on thin ice. Not to mention that he has left the Lin family now.


    However, Ling Mu didn¡¯t expect Qiu Zhenyang to be so concerned about him. While he rested, whether it was monitoring or punishing Lin Nuo, everything was taken into consideration and put into action. He didn¡¯t need to do anything or answer any followup questions. Pursing his lower up, there was a  feeling of dependence in his heart that was growing recklessly and could not be stopped.


    Ling Mu only felt this kind of dependable feeling from his father when he was a child¡­


    ¡ª¡ª


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Weng Quan, who suppressed her bellyful of fire on the way, finally opened her mouth at Lin Nuo after getting back. ¡°Doesn¡¯t Qiu Zhenyang hate Ling Mu? Back then, he would rather be sent to the hospital by his father, so what¡¯s going on now?¡±


    Lin Nuo was aggrieved and hateful. Thinking that he would be suspended from school for a year, the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out. ¡°How do I know? Don¡¯t know what method that Ling Mu used, but he has a good relationship with Qiu Zhenyang!¡±


    Since the incident on the starship, Lin Nuo has been inquiring about the two, and discovered that they¡¯re almost inseparable except for military training and required courses. Qiu Zhenyang, the eldest young master who does not worry about food and clothing, even opened a milk tea shop, and only had Ling Mu as his employee. Who would believe that there¡¯s no tricks?


    Weng Quan glared at her son in disgust. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to spend more time with Qiu Zhenyang? No alpha like you can refuse a beautiful omega. If you tried your best, how could that bastard Ling Mu have a chance?


    Lin Nuo¡¯s father, Lin Zhiyuan, one of the potential heirs of the Third Consortium, is in a critical period of competing with his two older brothers for the position of heir. As long as he¡¯s related to the Chief Legion¡¯s family, his position is ensured. But the elder son, Qiu Haolin, is in the military all year round, which is basically impossible to approach, so the second son, Qiu Zhenyang, has always been the target of their Lin family.


    Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s ambition is huge. Had Lin Nuo lived up to his expectations, he wouldn¡¯t have approached Dong Qiulan. The encounter with Dong Qiulan was completely in his plan, and everything that happened later was also planned, which is why after the engagement was called off, they drove away the mother and son.


    Lin Nuo was very unwilling to be scolded by his mother. ¡°What¡¯s the use of blaming me? Young master Qiu has unique tastes, and doesn¡¯t like good-looking ones! In my eyes, it¡¯s better to ask my brother to get close to him. It might be easier for the pair of them to become buddies!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter with your brother? Your brother isn¡¯t trash like you!¡± Weng Quan glared at him in disgust. Recalling the broken engagement, she then asked: ¡°Then what about that omega Qiu Zhenyang chased before? That person should be a scheming person who knows how to hang a man. How can he allow Qiu Zhenyang to be taken away by others?¡±


    ¡°Cheng An¡¯an? Heh, he¡¯s no longer in the race. Now Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s whole mind revolves around Ling Mu. Who knows what crooked things are happening.¡±


    Everyone who knew about this matter felt weird. After all, Cheng An¡¯an is good-looking and gentle, and was someone Qiu Zhenyang chased for a year. Why did he suddenly stop? He even replaced his target with someone he even looked down on before.


    Lin Nuo was complaining, when Lin Zhiyuan, who had just walked in from the door, caught the information in his words.


    ¡°Who did you say Qiu Zhenyang is revolving around?¡± After wrapping up work in the morning, Lin Zhiyuan came back to get a document, and happened to encounter this scene.


    ¡°Husband, why are you back?¡± When Weng Quan saw him, she immediately put on a wide smile and greeted him happily, no trace of the anger from before.


    Lin Zhiyuan ignored her. Handing the coat to a servant, he frowned at Lin Nuo, and said with a solemn voice, ¡°Say it.¡±


    Lin Nuo, who had been afraid of his father since he was a child, shrank his neck and bitterly repeated what he had just said once more. In order to explain why he came home from school, Lin Nuo also revealed how he was pitted by Qiu Zhenyang.


    However, Lin Zhiyuan was obviously not interested in the fact that his son was forced to suspend school. He thought about it and walked directly to the study.


    Weng Quan originally wanted to discuss Lin Nuo¡¯s school matters with Lin Zhiyuan, but he didn¡¯t even look at her. She could only stomp her feet in anger and direct her anger at Lin Nuo: ¡°What are you still doing? Contact your brother! Ask him what to do!¡±


    Lin Nuo frowned and returned to his room unhappily.


    On the other side, Lin Zhiyuan closed the door after he got to the study. As he walked towards the chair, he sent a message to his subordinate asking him to investigate the current relationship between Ling Mu and Qiu Zhenyang, and then made another phone call.


    ¡°Hey, Qiulan, how are you doing recently?¡±


    If you¡¯ve forgotten, Qiulan = Dong Qiulang = Ling Mu & Ling Dang¡¯s mother. Guess y¡¯all can guess what¡¯ll happen next¡­

 CH 37

    After what happened in class that day, news of Lin Nuo being punished and suspended spread throughout almost all first years.


    After all, there were students in each class taking mecha practical lessons, and the incident was too big at the time, so many people paid attention to the follow-up. As for the other people who participated in the fight, they were given a serious warning, and asked to write a review essay. Other than that, they were able to attend classes normally.


    The next week of mecha practice class, after Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu delivered Ling Dang in the morning, they went to the training building together.


    With his previous experience, this time, Ling Mu wasn¡¯t limited to only moving his hands and feet. He could follow Qiu Zhenyang to jog on the track.


    ¡°Okay, since you can keep up with me, let¡¯s try a faster speed in the afternoon.¡± Near lunch time, after Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu both got off their mechas, the former highly praised him.


    Ling Mu¡¯s mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes looked at Qiu Zhenyang sincerely: ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After all, the teacher couldn¡¯t take care of every student, and because of the last incident, the teacher didn¡¯t like the few of them who had fought. It was even more impossible for him to guide them, so if it wasn¡¯t for Qiu Zhenyang, Ling Mu would not have been able to achieve such results in such a short period of time. Moreover, Ling Mu had to admit that Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s talent in mecha is really much higher than ordinary people.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost time for the bell. Let¡¯s get ready to go back.¡±


    The training building was crowded, and Qiu Zhenyang wanted to prepare first so that they wouldn¡¯t get stuck in the crowd.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t care. Grabbing his bag, he followed Qiu Zhenyang to the elevator.


    But the two of them were blocked before they reached the elevator entrance.


    ¡°Are you Qiu Zhenyang?¡±


    A proud-looking tall and thin young man with two followers looked at Qiu Zhenyang with disdain. ¡°I thought you were actually something, but you look weak. Ah, I don¡¯t know what demon possessed my parents to insist on me getting to know you. I can clearly get everything they want once I graduate.¡±


    Standing in front of Ling Mu, Qiu Zhenyang scrutinized the person in front of him.


    He searched his memory and found no impression of this young man.


    But based on what he said, Qiu Zhenyang guessed that this person might be Lin Nuo¡¯s brother, Lin Yuhan, the eldest son of Lin Zhiyuan.


    This person has only been mentioned a few times in the original text. His sexual orientation is somewhat unique. He prefers betas who look like Ling Mu, because they are more resistant, sensitive, and their bodies are not as delicate as omegas, making them suitable for some of his excessive play. Therefore, in the original text, Lin Yuhan harassed Ling Mu more than once, and even once drugged Ling Mu, and almost killed him.


    Thinking of this, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face darkened.


    ¡°What, too scared to speak?¡± Lin Yuhan¡¯s expression was full of contempt. Because Qiu Zhenyang had a prominent family background, top grades, and a rare S-level mental strength, he was often brought out by his father as comparison. Although the two had never met, Lin Yuhan had long been jealous of this person who was two years younger than him.


    Qiu Zhenyang held his gaze indifferently, his expression not loosening in the slightest. ¡°Can you introduce yourself first before you speak? Or do you think that everyone will know a little brat like you?


    ¡°?¡± Lin Yuhan was instantly so angry that the top of his head smoked. ¡°Then, well, since you said I¡¯m a little brat, that¡¯s fine. Since you¡¯re born to the Chief Legion¡¯s family, your skills with mecha should be very strong, why don¡¯t we fight a round?¡±


    Ling Mu pulled Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arm from behind, leaned in and said softly, ¡°He is Lin Nuo¡¯s older brother, Lin Yuhan. He¡¯s arrogant and cautious, don¡¯t fall into his trap.¡±


    After all, he had been in contact with Lin Yuhan, and was troubled many times in the Lin family before, he reminded Qiu Zhenyang.


    Feeling Ling Mu¡¯s worry, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart grew uncontrollably warm. But he wouldn¡¯t let go of Lin Yuhan. He even came to the door, was there a reason to send him off so easily?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Qiu Zhenyang turned back and patted Ling Mu¡¯s hand.


    Lin Yuhan noticed Ling Mu just now, trying to confirm whether the relationship between the two was really what Lin Nuo said. Looking at them now, they are basically inseparable.


    He has always liked betas with Ling Mu¡¯s type of appearance, so when he found out that Ling Mu was an omega, he was really excited. In the Lin family, he harassed him a lot, but the other party always treated him like vermin, and his eyes were always full of disgust.


    But now, he is hiding behind another alpha, and the conversation and actions are extremely intimate.


    Grinding his back molars, Lin Yuhan couldn¡¯t help sneering: ¡°Ling Mu, I thought you were like a stone. I didn¡¯t expect you to be no different from ordinary people when it comes to family wealth? You used to treat me like that, but now It seems that the Lin family¡¯s wealth failed to catch your fancy.¡±


    Ling Mu looked at him coldly and said nothing.


    He never bothered to refute such stupid remarks.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled: ¡°It has nothing to do with family wealth, right? After all, how many normal people would care about you?¡±


    ¡°Who the hell are you talking about!¡± Lin Yuhan was angry.


    ¡°Whoever answers is who.¡± Qiu Zhenyang shrugged.


    At this moment, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu also noticed the situation. Exchanging tacit glances, they walked over.


    With Lin Yuhan looking like that, he was definitely looking for trouble. As soon as Yuan Chenyu came over, he shouted unceremoniously, ¡°Where¡¯s the idiot, crawl out for me!¡±


    Combined with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s previous words, Ling Mu¡¯s mouth twitched into a smile.


    Lin Yuhan¡¯s two followers couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. ¡°Where¡¯d you come from? Let alone not greeting a senior, but acting so arrogant in front of us. Is the quality of your freshman class so bad?¡±


    ¡°Quality?¡± Qiu Zhenyang sneered with raised brows. ¡°I recall you guys were the first to come over and say all that trash. Why, does senior have bad memory? Do you need me to help you remember?¡±


    The follower wanted to speak up, but Lin Yuhan reached out with his hand and stopped him.


    ¡°It¡¯s useless to talk so much. Since you are so confident, come fight a round in the mecha with me.¡± Lin Yuhan made up his mind to fight one round with Qiu Zhenyang. Even if his grades in the mecha practical class are amongst the top, he will definitely make Qiu Zhenyang make a fool of himself!


    Because Qiu Zhenyang is a celebrity amongst freshmen, and because of the fight last time, many people paid attention to his every move. Seeing senior classmates coming to find fault, many gossiping eyes had already begun watching.


    At this moment, some students onlookers said:


    ¡°You, a third year, coming to compete with us freshmen. Who¡¯s bullying who?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s not fair, right? Our teacher just explained the internal operations of the mecha to us today.¡±


    ¡°I just got close and heard Ling Mu say that this person is Lin Nuo¡¯s brother. Tsk, tsk, why is that family so shameless!¡±


    Because nearly everyone present were freshmen, they couldn¡¯t bear the seniors coming down to make trouble.


    Color drained from Lin Yuhan¡¯s face at their words, and his teeth were nearly bitten to pieces.


    ¡°Are you finished?¡± He roared. The group didn¡¯t dare say anything more, lest Lin Yuhan¡¯s anger burn on them, ¡°What¡¯s not fair? Qiu Zhenyang is the son of the Chief Legion¡¯s family. Don¡¯t know how many years ago he came into contact with mechas! If you¡¯re afraid, say it directly; don¡¯t dilly dally like an omega!¡±


    The omegas surrounding them were offended, and their impression of Lin Yuhan plummeted further.


    Qiu Zhenyang sneered: ¡°I didn¡¯t refuse to compete. Was there a need for you to say so much? But the time for the match should be after class in the afternoon, we¡¯re going back for lunch now.¡±


    Lin Yuhan hummed: ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you time to prepare yourself mentally for this afternoon. Fifth floor, 4 o¡¯clock. If you don¡¯t come, you¡¯re not an alpha.¡±


    Before leaving, Lin Yuhan gave Qiu Zhenyang the middle finger.


    Qiu Zhenyang: Really a nutcase¡­


    After Lin Yuhan brought his people away, Zhuo Hang asked Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°You¡¯ll really fight him? Who is that person?¡±


    ¡°Lin Nuo¡¯s brother, Lin Yuhan.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu said worriedly, ¡°Zhenyang, you didn¡¯t like mecha very much before. Although you¡¯re pretty good in class, do you even have a chance of winning in a real fight with a mecha?¡±


    Ling Mu doesn¡¯t know Qiu Zhenyang well enough in this aspect, so he can only listen on the sidelines. Hearing the words, the hands hanging on his sides clenched tightly.


    ¡°Wait until the afternoon. Let¡¯s go back to eat first.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled casually, took Ling Mu¡¯s hand and left first.


    They held hands all the way, making many people look over, but Ling Mu didn¡¯t notice anything. His head was lowered and no one knew what he was thinking.


    Amused, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help teasing him: ¡°What¡¯s got your mind wandering?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s mind came back after hearing his name called. Suddenly realizing his hand was being held, he quickly withdrew his hand, and then turned to frown and glared at Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°You¡¯re still in the mood to joke? Lin Yuhan is not easy to deal with. I¡¯m afraid he came to trouble you because of Lin Nuo. This whole thing is because of me, and I think you should push it this afternoon.¡±


    ¡°How can you say it¡¯s because of you? Lin Nuo is jealous and hates that you¡¯re with me. His brother isn¡¯t a good thing either. Since he wants to be beaten by me, why shouldn¡¯t I?¡± Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t like Ling Mu piling everything on his own shoulders. Although he understood that Ling Mu was worried about himself, he wanted to stand in front Ling Mu even more, and be his shield.


    Ling Mu was still uneasy. ¡°To be honest, how are you at mecha combat?¡±


    Although Qiu Zhenyang taught him in class, Ling Mu knew nothing about his skills.


    Qiu Zhenyang thought for a while, and then a sentence came out: ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡±


    Rolling his eyes, Ling Mu was too lazy to care for him any longer, and walked away. Seeing this, Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly followed, shouting, ¡°Xiao Mumu, you can come to cheer me on after picking up Ling Dang this afternoon! With your love and blessing, I will definitely go all out to defeat that idiot!¡±


    ¡°F*ck off!¡±


    Actually, Qiu Zhenyang saying he didn¡¯t know wasn¡¯t to deceive Ling Mu. Although he inherited the original body¡¯s memory, the act of operating a mecha is different. He doesn¡¯t know enough about Lin Yuhan¡¯s strength either, so it is very likely that he will lose later this afternoon.


    But isn¡¯t there still an afternoon left? He can temporarily hold the Buddha¡¯s feet1Guessing this is a pray to god type of thing and practice!


    So some Gary Stu magic happening with QZY and those mecha skills, but this is fiction¡­


    QZY: Fine! Let¡¯s fight!


    LM: Are you sure you can win? How are your skills?


    QZY: Bed skills?


    LM: ¡­why should I bother with this idiot.


    QZY [internally]: Must go practice. Have to protect my wifey!

 CH 39

    ¡°Sure enough, it¡¯s a lot more fun to fight with a real person.¡± Qiu Zhenyang flicked his right hand, which was sore from holding the joystick for a long time, and twisted his neck to free up the tension.


    Lin Yuhan is indeed a good opponent for him. His strength is not bad, and he has enough tricks to help him grow up quickly. He devoted himself to the battle without any room for relaxation.


    The people outside were having a heated discussion. Ling Mu picked up Ling Dang and planned to send her back first, but the distance between the dormitory and the training building was a bit far, so after thinking about it, he brought Ling Dang along with him. When he arrived the fifth floor, he was taken aback by the noisy crowd in front of him.


    Why are there so many people here? Not only freshmen, but many of the crowd look like seniors?


    ¡°Wow, is that Brother Qiu? Go, Brother Qiu!¡± Ling Dang was small, and could only see Qiu Zhenyang through the monitor at the top of the wall for easy viewing, holding Ling Mu¡¯s hand and jumping behind the crowd. Although combatants can¡¯t be seen, the name of those fighting is displayed above.


    Zhuo Hang¡¯s ears were sharp. When he heard a child¡¯s voice and looked back, he saw Ling Mu who was frowning and watching the display screen worriedly.


    ¡°Come here and watch.¡± Zhuo Hang led them to the front so they could see the battle inside through the wall. After seeing Ling Dang, he asked, ¡°This is your sister, right, she¡¯s so cute.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang mentioned Ling Dang and the fact that she lived in the dorm with them.


    Yuan Chenyu also came over, squatting down, and patted Ling Dang¡¯s little head. ¡°Sister Ling Dang is so cute, why are you so different from your brother?¡±


    Ling Dang pouted unhappily. ¡°You¡¯re saying that my brother is ugly? You¡¯re annoying.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu was choked by her statement. ¡°No, your brother is not ugly, but always pulling his face like that makes him look very scary.¡±


    ¡°You are scary, your whole family is scary!¡± Ling Dang rolled her eyes at Yuan Chenyu several times, before turning her head to ignore him.


    Next to them, Zhuo Hang sneered and shook his head with a sigh at Yuan Chenyu.


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyes glued onto Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mecha after coming over. He didn¡¯t look away, and his palms were wet from sweat.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Zhenyang is very strong, unexpectedly strong. He won¡¯t lose.¡± Zhuo Hang looked at the wall, but he was speaking to Ling Mu next to him. After Qiu Zhenyang expressed his feelings for Ling Mu in front of them many times, the two already considered Ling Mu as a friend.


    Ling Mu pursed his lips, looked away, and muttered, ¡°I¡¯m not worried about him.¡±


    Zhuo Hang¡¯s mouth curled slightly, feeling amused. This reaction is too obvious, right? At first glance, it¡¯s not a sincere denial, but as Qiu Zhenyang said, it¡¯s cute and awkward.


    After a while, the battle inside was slowly drawing to a close. More and more people cheered and shouted outside, their voices echoing across the entire floor apart from those fighting inside the room.


    Qiu Zhenyang used several fighting skills one after another to force Lin Yuhan into a corner. All the breakaway points have been blocked by Qiu Zhenyang. Unless he fights head on, Lin Yuhan will be directly trapped to death, like a turtle in an urn, with no chance of winning.


    After quickly analyzing the situation, Lin Yuhan gritted his teeth, his face flushed with anxiety.


    After making such outrageous remarks and vowing to beat Qiu Zhenyang to the point where he can¡¯t fight back, he was even forced into such a situation! Lin Yuhan¡¯s lungs were about to explode upon thinking of those outside laughing at him!


    ¡°Do you think you can win with such crude means? Hehe, surnamed Qiu, it seems that you are only capable of this!¡±


    Lin Yuhan¡¯s voice reached everyone¡¯s ears through the radio in the mecha, and Qiu Zhenyang laughed immediately.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it? You have the guts to say so, don¡¯t know who¡¯s been using those crude methods. Forget it, for the sake of your entire Lin family being fools, I won¡¯t argue.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang has already practiced all afternoon, beating more than ten smart mechas in a row. Although he¡¯s not physically tired, his mind is drained from thinking so much. His opponent is very cunning, causing him to consume too much mental power, and forcing him to fight quickly.


    However, as long as he practices diligently in the future, Qiu Zhenyang will be able to persist for much longer. After all, his mental power is a rare S-rank, and he has much more patience and tenacity than ordinary people!


    ¡°Shit! What else can Qiu Zhenyang be proud of besides relying on your family?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face wrinkled. ¡°It¡¯s like your family is very ordinary¡­¡±


    It seems that he can¡¯t say anything nice to a fool like Lin Yuhan. The cynical expression on his face faded, and his eyes refocused. ¡°It¡¯s over now, there are still people waiting for me to have dinner.¡±


    When Ling Mu, who was waiting outside, heard his words, his ears reddened, and he snorted impatiently to cover it up.


    By his side, Yuan Chenyu was jeeing: ¡°Waa, so handsome! Not wanting to end the battle for anything else, but because I want to eat with the person I like~ As expected of you, Qiu Zhenyang!¡±


    Ling Mu glared at him: ¡°Shut your mouth!¡±


    ¡°Ah, Zhuo Hang glared at me¡­¡± Yuan Chenyu looked at his friend pitifully, but got a white eye in response.


    Lin Yuhan felt deeply offended hearing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words! The person in front of him acted so indifferent, as if he had no way to threaten him in the slightest!


    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s what you said¡­¡± Hateful words popped out from between clenched teeth. Lin Yuhan gave a gloomy smile, and pulled out a small object from the strap on his wrist. That thing is a laser attack device. As long as it is installed in the mecha, even the mecha for teaching can launch a powerful laser cannon.


    Just in case, Lin Yuhan put it in a protective belt that can shield it from inspection. He never expected it to come in handy now.


    ¡°Fight me? Let me teach you the wisdom of being an upperclassman!¡±


    The school clearly forbids the use of this kind of thing, but Lin Yuhan doesn¡¯t care. As long as he can defeat Qiu Zhenyang, and prove himself in front of his father and grandfather, what¡¯s the Qiu family? Besides, Qiu Zhenyang agreed to the fight this time. Even if he lost or got injured, how can the Qiu family still have the face to trouble him?


    Lin Yuhan smiled grimly. He didn¡¯t know that the consequences of being too arrogant might end in disaster.


    The attack device was installed in the mecha receiver, and at the same time, Qiu Zhenyang intuition keenly warned him of danger. This awareness came from his powerful mental power, and the uneasy feeling made his muscles tense.


    ¡°Huh? What did he just put into the receiver?¡± The supervisor, who specializes in monitoring student fights, frowned. Rewinding the surveillance, he zoomed in and looked at what Lin Yuhan had installed.


    ¡°This is¡­ what happened!¡±


    The picture on the screen was still on the device, and the supervisor quickly ran out.


    After the installation of the laser was completed, the mecha sat in Lin Yuhan changed. The original mechanical right hand retracted into the arm a few times, and when it was extended again, it became a laser cannon.


    The students who were watching the battle outside noticed this, and quickly blew up.


    ¡°My god, what does Lin Yuhan want to do? That¡¯s forbidden by the school!¡±


    ¡°A laser, the school¡¯s mecha can¡¯t withstand this attack. If the freshman is hit, there will be an accident!¡±


    Several seniors knew a lot, and turned anxious.


    ¡°What about the supervising teacher? Didn¡¯t he find out? It¡¯s dangerous if things continue like this!¡±


    Ling Mu became anxious when he heard the upperclassmen¡¯s words. Gritting his teeth, he ran to the competition room door, kicked it, but it didn¡¯t budge at all. Only the people inside or the supervisor can open the battle room.


    ¡°That guy Lin Yuhan, is he crazy?!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang also ran over with anxious expressions on their faces.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, you mustn¡¯t have an accident¡­¡± Ling Mu helplessly slammed the door hard, and looked inside with a pale face.


    Qiu Zhenyang jumped back without hesitation after seeing the change in Lin Yuhan¡¯s mecha. And after he dodged, a dazzling laser shot at his original location.


    With a ¡°bang¡±, the laser smashed into the wall, and the entire classroom trembled.


    The solid wall was not shaken too much, but dust blew up, obstructing their sight.


    ¡°Qiu, Zhen, Yang! Die for me!¡±


    Lin Yuhan directly launched the second attack after the blow failed. No matter how fast Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s reaction speed was, in such a small classroom, he couldn¡¯t completely avoid this kind of continuous close-range attack. The sturdy mecha was damaged in many places, and a red warning light was flashing inside.


    ¡°Lin Yuhan, are you trying to kill me?¡± Qiu Zhenyang shouted, his expression angry.


    He never imagined that Lin Yuhan would be so cruel. Seeing that he was about to lose, he even used such a method! Isn¡¯t he afraid of being punished by the Qiu family after killing him?


    ¡°Kill you? Haha, that¡¯s a really good idea!¡± The insolent voice was mixed with the artillery fire like an irrational murderer.


    Lin Yuhan was ruthless. Qiu Zhenyang wanted to open the door and escape directly, but he was not sure whether this guy would chase after him and attack indiscriminately. There is also Ling Mu, who should have come to watch the battle. Qiu Zhenyang has no way to bet on this possibility ¨C he can¡¯t let Ling Mu be in danger!


    Knowing that he couldn¡¯t just run away, Qiu Zhenyang took a deep breath, dodging left and right while quickly approaching Lin Yuhan¡¯s mecha. The latter only felt that he was here to die and didn¡¯t have any precautions as he fired frantically.


    Watching Qiu Zhenyang approach the mecha that was constantly firing laser beams, the audience¡¯s hearts were all caught in their throats. Ling Mu¡¯s eyes widened, lips trembling, and hands clutching the wall as he watched the battle.


    The distance between the two mechas grew closer and closer, and the last shot of the laser cannon suddenly exploded under the dust. Black smoke filled the classroom, and electric lights flashed from circuit failure at the site of the incident. No one could see the situation inside clearly, but it is certain that one of the mechas must have been severely damaged.


    Outside everyone was silent, holding their breaths.


    Ling Mu¡¯s long eyelashes trembled slightly. Hot tears fell down his cheeks and fell silently on the ground.


    He never knew that his tears could fall so easily.

    ¡°Everyone get out of the way!¡±


    In the chaos, the supervisor finally arrived.


    His face was extremely pale. Aiming his terminal at the sensor at the door, with a beep, it opened.


    A large amount of dust poured out of the door, accompanied by a pungent odor from the explosion. The supervisor and some nearby students raised their hands to cover their faces, making their feet stop momentarily. Only one of them ignored it and rushed in.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang!¡± Waving his arm to clear his line of sight, Ling Mu ran to the last known position, straight into the hard shell of a mecha.


    The two mechas had the same appearance. Ling Mu only remembered that Lin Yuhan was standing in the corner to attack, so Qiu Zhenyang should be the one outside. After waving the smoke away, Ling Mu¡¯s face completely paled.


    The cockpit of the mecha on the outside was completely charred. The mecha arm was completely cut off, as if being hit by a laser cannon, causing severe damage to the upper body of the mecha.


    Ling Mu only felt that his breathing was about to stop. His ears began to make a sharp sound, which made his head hurt. Numbly, he tried to open the cockpit, but the damage to the mecha was too heavy, and the button on the cockpit door failed.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, get out here!¡± he shouted hoarsely, startling the teachers and classmates who came in behind.


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang stepped forward and helped Ling Mu to try to open the cockpit with his hands. Many classmates gathered around and watched worriedly, but no one came to Lin Yuhan¡¯s side. Even his followers only dared shamelessly hide to the side and peek in.


    The teacher sighed slightly and asked a classmate to help contact the infirmary, and went to the other mecha himself.


    The damage to this mecha is not bad. Although many parts are damaged, it¡¯s not as serious as the other one. The supervisor was about to press the button, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of two intact mechanical arms from the corner of his eyes, and he let out a light sigh.


    On the other hand, Ling Mu and others only managed to lightly budge the cockpit door after a long time. With this level of damage, I¡¯m afraid that professionals are needed; there is no way for them to do anything.


    ¡°Ling Mu, don¡¯t cry, Zhenyang will be fine. He¡¯s a very powerful person, so he should still be inside. It¡¯s just that the mecha is broken and he can¡¯t get out.¡± Yuan Chenyu was also uncomfortable as he looked at Ling Mu¡¯s desperate expression by the side of the cockpit door.


    Zhuo Hang patted Ling Mu¡¯s shoulder and comforted him silently. Although the relationship between the two was never openly confirmed, Ling Mu¡¯s reaction is not far from confirming their relationship. While happy for his friend, he still looked at the mecha with anxious eyes.


    Ling Mu raised his hand and wiped away the liquid from his face, and continued to try to lift the cockpit door without saying a word. His hand was bloodied from the deformed mecha, the wounds continuing to expand under his movements, but he himself did not notice at all.


    The person in the cockpit is a nuisance, always teasing him, taking advantage of him from time to time, and has a terrible personality. But even so, he can¡¯t bear to watch Qiu Zhenyang exit the stage in such a miserable way after wading into troubled waters due to him.


    ¡°If you dare to have an accident, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!¡± He said fiercely, but his expression was really worried.


    ¡°Don¡¯t, Xiao Mumu, don¡¯t be mad at me, I¡¯m fine~¡±


    Just as Ling Mu¡¯s voice fell, a relaxed tone shocked everyone. Zhuo Hang and the others turned their heads to see Qiu Zhenyang slowly crawled out from under the cockpit of the mecha that was ignored by the supervisor.


    ¡°F*ck, Qiu Zhenyang, why are you there?¡± Yuan Chenyu ran over and quickly gave him a hand.


    ¡°The mechanical arm of my mecha is still there. It¡¯s not a laser cannon barrel. Can¡¯t you recognize it?¡± He looked fine. His hair and clothes were a little messy, but he wasn¡¯t injured.


    Yuan Chenyu blinked, shamelessly admitting that he hadn¡¯t even looked at this mecha at all, and only looked at the supervising teacher angrily. ¡°Teacher, you are too arrogant, why didn¡¯t you tell us when you noticed? Making us watch this stupid mecha for a long time!¡±


    The teacher was also a little embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯m not sure, maybe that classmate took back the laser cannon. Then again, what is going on?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang wasn¡¯t injured. On the contrary, Lin Yuhan¡¯s mecha became scrap metal, which was a little unthinkable.


    ¡°I calculated the time between his attacks, and approached from the side before the laser cannon was fired, and redirected the barrel of his mecha arm towards him.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s brief explanation frightened everyone.


    The supervisor, who fully understands mecha, broke into a cold sweat. How much courage and accurate calculation does this student have to be able to achieve such a feat?


    Everyone was speechless for a while. Finally, Ling Mu pursed his lips and kicked Lin Yuhan¡¯s cockpit fiercely with a ¡°bang¡±.


    The already tattered mecha made a dull sound, and although the students next to him were startled, no one accused Ling Mu. After all, this guy Lin Yuhan totally deserved it. Let alone Ling Mu, even they wanted to kick him a few times. Cheating in a good fight with such a lethal weapon, he clearly wants to kill people!


    ¡°Okay, you all go back first, wait for someone from the infirmary, don¡¯t block them.¡± The supervisor evacuated the students, complaining in his heart. This Lin Yuhan is really sick and wantonly violated the school rules. Such a big thing happened this time, and he can¡¯t shirk responsibility either.


    Qiu Zhenyang glanced at Lin Yuhan¡¯s mecha, his expression was a little cold, but he quickly turned to Ling Mu¡¯s side, walked over and grabbed his wrist: ¡°Let¡¯s go, go back and talk about something else.¡±


    Ling Mu frowned and lowered his head. Qiu Zhenyang took his hand mechanically.


    Outside, Ling Dang, who was entrusted by Zhuo Hang to look after his classmates, peered inside anxiously. When she saw Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu coming out, she immediately greeted them.


    ¡°Brother Qiu, are you alright?¡± After getting along for a long time, Ling Dang already regarded this big brother as family. She was anxious to see something happen to him.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, your Brother Qiu is in good health, how could something be wrong?¡± Qiu Zhenyang patted Ling Dang¡¯s little head. Holding Ling Mu with his left hand and pulling Ling Dang with his right hand, the three of them went back home together.


    On the way back to the dormitory, Ling Dang was coaxed by Qiu Zhenyang to go to the room to do homework. He then led Ling Mu into his room, let him sit on the chair in front of the desk, and squatted with his hands on his knees to look at him.


    ¡°Did you cry just now?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Ling Mu¡¯s expression turned cold and he directly denied it.


    ¡°Oh.¡± Slender fingers touched Ling Mu¡¯s red eyes. Qiu Zhenyang nodded, and he asked again, ¡°Why are your eyes so red?¡±


    ¡°Irritated from the dust.¡±


    He took the wet towel from the table and gently wiped the dust from Ling Mu¡¯s face. After wiping his face, he took his hands and looked at it again. When he came back before, he held Ling Mu¡¯s wrist, for fear of pressing the wounds on his hand.


    After finding the medical box, Qiu Zhenyang carefully helped Ling Mu deal with the injury. His heart was sour and sweet. Today, his mecha fell to the ground on his side, so he could clearly see Ling Mu¡¯s distress. Although he was very happy to see how much Ling Mu cared about him, Qiu Zhenyang felt bad when he saw his tears and despair.


    Ling Mu¡¯s heart is very hard, but once he lets someone in and something happens, he will be easily hurt.


    Qiu Zhenyang secretly decided in his heart that in the future, not only should he and Ling Dang be protected, but he should also protect himself, to prevent Ling Mu from feeling sad.


    After finishing the wound, Qiu Zhenyang looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction. When he looked up, he saw that Ling Mu was very quiet and well-behaved. He couldn¡¯t help but go up and hug him. But the corners of his eyes caught sight of the ash on his body, and he stopped again.


    ¡°Ah, forget it, I won¡¯t hug you this time, I¡¯ll let you go.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang pouted regretfully, but before he could back away, a soft body slammed into his arms. Qiu Zhenyang was stunned for a moment, his pupils shrank, and his heart beat gradually faster. His surprise lasted only a moment before his arms immediately subconsciously tightened.


    Sniffing the faint fragrance on Ling Mu¡¯s body, Qiu Zhenyang sighed, feeling that he¡¯s fallen too thoroughly.


    ¡°Do you think you¡¯re very powerful?¡±


    Before he could immerse himself in the embrace, the abrupt sound of gnashing teeth sounded beside his ears.


    ¡°I told you not to compare yourself to Lin Yuhan, why don¡¯t you listen to me?¡± There was a suppressed vibrato in the angry voice.


    Qiu Zhenyang replied embarrassingly, ¡°That¡¯s not it, that kid is too annoying. I wanted to teach him a lesson¡­ Hey, I swear, I¡¯ll listen to you in the future! Don¡¯t be sad.¡±


    Patting Ling Mu¡¯s back, Qiu Zhenyang coaxed patiently.


    ¡°Who told you to listen to me, you ass!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t expect Ling Mu to be so unreasonable when he was angry. Blaming him for not listening, and then saying he didn¡¯t want him to listen to him, and whatnot. However, in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes, all he could see was his little wife becoming more and more cute. He can¡¯t wait to rub him into his body, so that he can no longer be separated from him~


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m an ass, okay? Whatever you say is right. However, because I¡¯m so obedient, give me some welfare please?¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled slyly, pushed the person away from his arms before Ling Mu could react.


    Ling Mu shrank back the moment fiery lips fell on him, but he was immediately pulled into and trapped by Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arms.


    Lips and teeth easily invaded. Ling Mu¡¯s face flushed, and he could only passively accept Qiu Zhenyang. This guy was full of promises, and seemed to agree to everything, but in some respects he was too strong, and he didn¡¯t give Ling Mu any room to back off.


    They clearly didn¡¯t say anything, but this pattern of getting along was quite obvious. Ling Mu was ashamed to speak, so Qiu Zhenyang gave him time. But as an alpha he couldn¡¯t bear it for long, so he could only charge some interest to appease the beast in his heart.


    After finally separating, Ling Mu glared at Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°So you said those things just to sneak attack me?¡±


    ¡°How can you say it was a sneak attack? I¡¯m asking you for a reward, the type that can¡¯t be shown to children.¡± Qiu Zhenyang leaned in and kissed again, with pink bubbles in his eyes.


    ¡°Are you a kid?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m a big baby.¡±


    ¡°¡­Do you still have face?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s more important to kiss you~¡±


    Consequences of LYH¡¯s actions are covered in the next chapter.

    11-14 minutes 22.07.2022


    Regarding the follow-up of Lin Yuhan¡¯s actions, everyone was very happy.


    When he was pulled out of the mecha, he was covered in blood and sent directly to the nearest hospital. Although his injuries weren¡¯t fatal, one of his legs couldn¡¯t be saved, and he could only rely on prosthetic limbs in the future.


    In addition, because of the testimony of the supervisor and many students, the Lin family was unable to seek compensation from Qiu Zhenyang. After all, Lin Yuhan did something illegal. But because no one was injured, and Lin Yuhan lost a leg, no charges were filed.


    They thought that the troubles would come to an end, but who knew that within two days, Dong Qiulan actually came to the school.


    Ling Mu hasn¡¯t been in contact with his mother since school began.


    He was really disappointed with her. She didn¡¯t like her cold son either, so Ling Mu once thought that he would not see her again until the winter vacation.


    After receiving the call, Ling Mu asked for leave from the milk tea shop. Dong Qiulan was stopped by the school guard and refused entry, so she called Ling Mu and asked him to pick her up.


    The woman waiting at the gate of the school was heavily made-up. She was in her forties wearing a tender pink dress, watching people with seductive eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, with an alluring smile. The two guards on the side couldn¡¯t help but stare at the woman. Not only was the latter not unhappy, she even threw a few winks at them, full of charm.


    Ling Mu stopped not far from the school gate, his fists clenched tightly, and his face was abnormally pale.


    Since his father¡¯s death, his mother has dressed herself up to please rich men. She loves their money, loves their position of power, and sells her self-esteem for vanity, even at the expense of her children¡¯s happiness!


    Taking a deep breath, Ling Mu suppressed the anger in his heart and walked towards the woman with a cold face.


    Dong Qiulan was still smiling just now, but when she saw her son¡¯s expression, the smile on the corners of her mouth faded. ¡°What is your attitude? Aren¡¯t you happy to see your mother? Did I give birth to a son or a debt collector? Ah, I¡¯m so angry when I see your face!¡±


    ¡°You came to school specially to scold me? If so, then scold me and leave after scolding.¡± Ling Mu was already numb in the face of such a mother. Dong Qiulan must have a purpose to look for him; just like every time she spoke kindly to him in order to defraud him of the money he had worked so hard to earn.


    Thinking of the purpose of her trip, Dong Qiulan¡¯s expression stiffened, and she fluttered her long hair unhappily. ¡°This is not the place to talk, take me to your dormitory. Speaking of which, you are really an incompetent son. Don¡¯t even think about bringing your mother to see the school. Hehe, you thought it¡¯d be amazing if you went to an Interstellar Academy? Laughable.¡±


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t want to take Dong Qiulan to the dormitory at all. Ling Dang was doing her homework there right now. Since school started, because Qiu Zhenyang made delicious food and drinks, and jokes from time to time, his sister is more cheerful than before. Ling Mu didn¡¯t want this woman to ruin her mood.


    Seeing that Ling Mu was unwilling, Dong Qiulan¡¯s temper flared up again.


    ¡°Yo, your wings are hard, and you don¡¯t even want to bring your mom to see your dorm?¡± Dong Qiulan has no experience in educating children. She only knew how to raise her volume when she got angry.


    Ling Mu really didn¡¯t want her to ruin his campus life, so he could only grit his teeth and lead the way.


    Only then was Dong Qiulan satisfied. Twisting her waist, she followed Ling Mu in a charming manner.


    ¡°Where did you get the money to live in such a good dormitory? The Interstellar Academy is much more expensive than a normal university, right?¡± As soon as she entered the door, Dong Qiulan began to wander around the first floor and looked at Ling Mu suspiciously.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t answer, just leaned against the wall with his arms folded and looked at her indifferently. ¡°Just say what you want to say.¡±


    He didn¡¯t want Dong Qiulan to stay in the dormitory a second longer. It was full of traces of his life with Qiu Zhenyang and his sister, and he didn¡¯t want it to be destroyed by his mother.


    Dong Qiulan pouted and sat down on the sofa. ¡°Can¡¯t you pour me a glass of water? I walked with you from the school gate in high heels. I¡¯m thirsty.¡±


    Gritting his teeth, Ling Mu turned to go to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and brought it in front of her.


    After waiting for half a glass of water to go down, Dong Qiulan finally began to explain her intentions: ¡°Your Uncle Lin said that he would take us back to live, give me the name of his second wife, and said that the identities of you and Ling Dang¡¯s as heirs would be disclosed.¡±


    Ling Mu snorted disdainfully.


    Dong Qiulan ignored him and continued, ¡°But there is one condition. That is, you and Qiu Zhenyang are required to establish a fully marked relationship and show him the evidence.¡±


    ¡°Dream on!¡± The sound, with a touch of scarlet in his eyes, indicated that he was in an extremely poor mood.


    How could he do what Dong Qiulan wanted? The Lin family is a bottomless pit that eats people alive. Once their value is used up, they will be devoured! It is impossible for Ling Mu to go back to that terrifying abyss, let alone for his sister to be taken away!


    ¡°You child, are you out of your mind? The position of the heir of the Lin family, don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t want a pie in the sky?¡± Dong Qiulan was also angry. She didn¡¯t understand why Ling Mu refused such a good thing.


    Ling Mu¡¯s anger burst out. ¡°Do you remember when I and Ling Dang went to Lin¡¯s house with you before, what was their attitude towards us was? They said you were a bitch, and Ling Dang and I were bastards, and they used all means to humiliate us. Have you forgotten all this?¡±


    Dong Qiulan didn¡¯t take it seriously. ¡°It¡¯s just a few words, what¡¯s there to care about? Besides, that¡¯s all in the past. As long as you do what Lin Zhiyuan asks, you¡¯ll be the heir of the Lin family, and they¡¯ll be flattering you in time. Who dares trouble you then?¡±


    Ling Mu snorted coldly. ¡°Others dare not, what about Lin Nuo and Lin Yuhan? Indirectly or directly, one of them was suspended from school, and the other was not only dismissed, but also lost a leg, due to me. Given their pride, how would they let us go? Can you think with your brain for a moment?¡±


    Dong Qiulan naturally knew about Lin Nuo and Lin Yuhan. It was because of Lin Yuhan¡¯s matter that she delayed finding Ling Mu until today. Lin Zhiyuan had already told her that as long as Ling Mu met the conditions he proposed, everything else could be forgiven.


    ¡°These are not things you need to care about, you just need to do as I say.¡± Dong Qiulan stood up and looked at him condescendingly. ¡°You were born to me, and Ling Dang was born to me. If you don¡¯t agree, I will kill that little girl. See whether you dare argue with me!¡±


    Ling Mu was so angry that his hands were shaking. Staring at the woman in front of him in disbelief, the anger in his voice was so suppressed that he almost lost his voice: ¡°Are you still human? Are you still a mother?! Ling Dang is your own daughter, how can you be so cruel!¡±


    Dong Qiulan dreamed of becoming the second wife of the Lin family for a long time, and had already lost her mind. ¡°What biological daughter? I gave birth to you two prodigal things, which is why no rich man wants me! Now Lin Zhiyuan has promised me everything I want ¨C wealth, rights, everything you need¡­ Why don¡¯t you want it?!¡±


    Beneath his exhausted heart, he was extremely disappointed. Ling Mu always had a little hope for his mother, and hoped that she would step up to her responsibilities as a mother.


    But he¡¯s realized now that some days, and certain feelings, can never be regained.


    Ling Mu¡¯s heart was completely cold; he knew that he would never have a mother in the future.


    ¡°Get out.¡± The three words that came out of his mouth were as light as a sigh. Ling Mu wiped his face with a numb expression.


    Dong Qiulan didn¡¯t know what her son was thinking, but when she saw Ling Mu¡¯s tears, she turned even angrier. ¡°Who are you showing those two drops of horse urine to? If you don¡¯t agree today, I won¡¯t leave!¡±


    Dong Qiulan sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and made up her mind not to leave.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t care about her. But he had to chase her away before Zhenyang returned. Just as he was about to speak, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s voice sounded at the door: ¡°Auntie, where did you come from? Is the mental hospital on holiday today?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang walked in without a smile, heart aching as he looked at Ling Mu¡¯s red eyes with grief and anger.


    He held Ling Mu in the heart of his palm, afraid to hurt him in any way, but he was so easily injured by this hateful woman. It was unforgivable!


    Dong Qiulan met Qiu Zhenyang several times before, and did not dare to say harsh words to someone from a prominent family, even if he was a junior. At this moment, she could only smile and say, ¡°Young master of the Qiu family, why are you here? Auntie is discussing something with Ling Mu. This kid is making trouble for me, and things¡¯ll be fine in a bit.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think it will get better.¡± Qiu Zhenyang walked over and embraced Ling Mu¡¯s waist, turning his head to lean on his shoulders. As soon as the always stubborn young man was embraced, all the grievances welled up, and he couldn¡¯t bear it any longer. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s shoulders soon became wet.


    Hands clenched tightly, Qiu Zhenyang was even more disgusted with the woman in front of him.


    ¡°As a mother, after your husband¡¯s death, it¡¯s not enough that you don¡¯t take on the responsibility of raising your children, you even wanted to use your son to trade for the status of a wealthy wife? Auntie, don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡±


    In fact, before meeting Dong Qiulan, Qiu Zhenyang was mentally prepared. Because she was Ling Mu¡¯s mother, he considered treating her respectfully when they met in the future. But the words he heard at the doorway made him lose any ounce of emotion for this elder. This kind of scum that can even say the words of killing her own daughter doesn¡¯t deserve his respect at all!


    Dong Qiulan could see Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s bad attitude towards her. She wanted to lose her temper at Qiu Zhenyang, but didn¡¯t dare because of his status. In the end, she could only shout at Ling Mu in a raised voice:


    ¡°You bastard, you even learned to hide behind someone else¡¯s back! Listen carefully, only by listening to me can you have a good life. A life of fine clothes and food without going out to work! You are stubborn, but think about Ling Dang, can she follow you to suffer all her life?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s throat let out a whimper. He hated her to the death, wanting to rip everything apart. Holding onto Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s back, the strength of his nails drew red marks on the flesh through the thin shirt, venting his unspeakable pain.


    The deepest pain often comes from those closest to you.


    ¡°No,¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes were firm as he stared at Dong Qiulan with icy eyes. The pheromones that couldn¡¯t be controlled due to anger spread out, so powerful that it was shocking.


    ¡°I won¡¯t let Ling Mu and Ling Dang suffer. I¡¯ve contracted them for the rest of their lives.¡±


    LM¡¯s mom¡­

 CH 42

    Patting Ling Mu on the back soothingly, Qiu Zhenyang invited Dong Qiulan out mercilessly at the same time. ¡°Auntie please go back, or I will call security.¡±


    The aggressive pheromones rushed straight at Dong Qiulan, causing the latter to pale instantly, unable to utter a single word.


    Alpha pheromones have an absolute suppressing effect on omegas, not to mention his deliberate aggression, making Dong Qiulan unable to refute at all.


    She was forced to walk towards the door with stiff steps, and didn¡¯t relax until was more than ten meters away from the villa.


    ¡°Crap, what should I do now?¡± Dong Qiulan couldn¡¯t help regretting what happened just now. That kid Ling Mu was too stubborn, and the task Lin Zhiyuan gave her was even more difficult to complete now that he had the support of the young master of the Qiu family.


    Twisting her waist as she strode towards the school gate, Dong Qiulan scratched her head and posed for passersby.


    In fact, after receiving a call from Lin Zhiyuan and hearing that Ling Mu and Qiu Zhenyang were getting better, Dong Qiulan thought of another idea. That is, to get rid of the relationship with the Lin family and focus on letting Ling Mu marry into the Qiu family. But without the Lin family¡¯s backing, the Qiu family may not be willing to accept a Ling Mu who has no background, and the mother-in-law of the Qiu family is not comparable to the second mistress of the Lin family. her power and status would be completely different.


    And with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s current attitude towards her, even if Ling Mu can marry into the Qiu family, she won¡¯t benefit. It¡¯s better to act according to Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s wishes.


    Thinking of this, Dong Qiulan decided to plan carefully how to make Ling Mu agree to her request.


    After Dong Qiulan left and Qiu Zhenyang sat down on the sofa with Ling Mu, someone came down the stairs.


    This is the first time that Qiu Zhenyang has seen Ling Dang looking so mature. A child should be innocent, but her eyes were full of gloom and heartbreak.


    Dong Qiulan¡¯s scolding was so loud that Ling Dang could hear it. Hiding upstairs, she listened to her mother belittling them and use herself to blackmail her brother.


    ¡°Ling Dang, come here.¡± Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t say anything else, and gestured at Ling Dang with his free hand. Ling Mu¡¯s pale face was lifted from Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s neck and shoulders, and he also looked at his sister.


    Ling Dang pursed her lips, and threw her small body into Ling Mu¡¯s arms. Qiu Zhenyang hugged the two of them tightly, and pulled them into a warm and generous embrace.


    Kissing the top of Ling Mu¡¯s hair, Qiu Zhenyang thought to himself:


    I will definitely make this brother and sister pair happy.


    ¡ª¨C


    They thought Dong Qiulan would give up after being kicked out by Qiu Zhenyang. Who knew that she would call Ling Mu almost every day for the next few days to persuade him to agree to Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s conditions and not lose the opportunity.


    At the beginning, Ling Mu would answer the phone and hang up after a few words. Later, he directly blocked all news of his mother. Ling Mu even shielded Ling Dang¡¯s terminal to prevent Dong Qiulan from disturbing her.


    Qiu Zhenyang was restless the past few days, worried that the plot of Dong Qiulan selling Ling Dang to a human trafficker will happen. Although the timeline doesn¡¯t match, and Dong Qiulan has not fallen to that point, the situation wasn¡¯t optimistic.


    Not to mention that Lin Zhiyuan contacted Dong Qiulan again with those conditions. The situation changed due to his transmigration. The man wanted to borrow Ling Mu to board the Qiu family boat, however, the fact that Lin Zhiyuan could hold back after Lin Nuo and Lin Yuhan¡¯s matters showed just how shrewd he was.


    No matter how worried he was, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t tell Ling Mu. He could only accompany him to pick up Ling Dang every day. He also asked Ling Mu to call Ling Dang¡¯s head teacher and tell them about Dong Qiulan, saying that there was something wrong with Dong Qiulan¡¯s condition, and she shouldn¡¯t be picking up Ling Dang.


    It¡¯s a pity that after all of this, they didn¡¯t count on Dong Qiulan daring to stop the school bus in the street, and take Ling Dang away regardless of the driver Qiu Zhenyang had entrusted to stop her.


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. The lady brought a knife and threatened the other children, so I could only let her take Ling Dang away.¡± The driver called Qiu Zhenyang immediately after with a very regretful tone. How can a mother bring a knife to stop a car in order to pick up her child? Ling Dang¡¯s situation is fraught with misfortune rather than fortune!


    Gritting his teeth, Qiu Zhenyang comforted the driver first, and immediately notified Ling Mu after hanging up.


    ¡°What the hell is she trying to do? F*ck!¡± Ling Mu slammed a fist on the table, unable to hold back his rage.


    Is she really going to threaten him with his sister¡¯s life? Why? Ling Dang isn¡¯t just his sister, but also Dong Qiulan¡¯s biological daughter!


    Ling Mu gritted his teeth and opened the terminal, removing the previous block, and called Dong Qiulan.


    Beside him, Qiu Zhenyang silently opened his terminal, and sent out several messages.


    After a while, Dong Qiulan answered the phone with a smile. ¡°My good son, finally willing to call me?¡±


    ¡°Where is Ling Dang?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s voice was as cold as ice.


    ¡°She¡¯s staying with me. Eating well, enjoying life, you don¡¯t need to worry.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask again, where is Ling Dang?¡±


    Ling Mu slammed his fist on the wall, and Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart trembled at the thud. He hurriedly went over and pressed his hand over, mouthing the words, ¡®Don¡¯t be impulsive, ask clearly first, finding Ling Dang is most important!¡¯


    Dong Qiulan laughed wildly. The more anxious Ling Mu was, the happier she was. ¡°Remember what I said before? As long as you and Qiu Zhenyang have a complete mark, and you come to the Lin family to express your willingness to be the heir of the Lin family, I¡¯ll let Ling Dang go.¡±


    ¡°If you want to be a wealthy lady, you can marry on your own merits. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s ridiculous to use your children as bargaining chips?¡± Ling Mu was really angry.


    But Dong Qiulan didn¡¯t eat this set. He didn¡¯t know how hard she worked to achieve this goal. If it can really be achieved, why wait until now?


    ¡°Ling Dang is now living comfortably with me in Lin¡¯s house. I have asked the teacher for a leave of absence from the school to let her rest at home. I¡¯ll give you three days to think about it. If you really can¡¯t figure it out, then let it be. Anyway, Ling Dang can get married after a few more years.¡±


    Dong Qiulan said these words in a casual and ordinary tone, as if they were chatting normally, but her words made Ling Mu tremble. Huge fear enveloped his heart, and his fingertips became cold.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face was ashen. This woman completely lost her humanity. She was a lunatic, never giving up until her goals were met!


    ¡°I warn you, if you dare have any ideas on Ling Dang, even if I die, I will drag you to hell with me!¡± Ling Mu completely treated her as the enemy. An evil, abominable enemy that won¡¯t even spare a child!


    Dong Qiulan directly hung up. She lives in Lin¡¯s house now, and has Ling Dang as a bargaining chip. Naturally, she has nothing to fear.


    Ling Mu felt powerless facing the dead line. Clenching his jaw, he kicked the wall fiercely, and turned towards the door without hesitation.


    ¡°Wait, where are you going?¡± Qiu Zhenyang immediately followed and held onto his shoulder.


    In fact, he already had a guess in his heart. But Ling Mu going there rashly wasn¡¯t a solution at all.


    Ling Mu threw off Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand sullenly. ¡°Go to Lin¡¯s house.¡±


    The expression of disgust on his face was too obvious. He was clearly swept away by anger, wanting to find Ling Dang back regardless of the consequences.


    ¡°You can¡¯t go now. Since your mother has brought Ling Dang there, it means that things are under Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s control. If you go unprepared, you will definitely fall into his trap.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s frown deepened. After all, Ling Mu was still a student in his twenties. He didn¡¯t have much social experience. How could he possibly win in a fight with an old fox like Lin Zhiyuan?


    Ling Mu knew that Qiu Zhenyang was right, but how could he bear Ling Dang staying in such a hell any longer? Lin Yuhan just lost a leg, and should be waiting to seek revenge from Qiu Zhenyang and him. Ling Dang is simply a punching bag delivered to the door, and will definitely be bullied! If something happens to Ling Dang, Ling Mu will never forgive himself!


    ¡°I can¡¯t let Ling Dang face the beasts of the Lin family alone!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, wait, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang knew that no matter what he said to Ling Mu now, he wouldn¡¯t listen. Taking him into his arms, he released pheromones to comfort him. Omegas will always rely on their alpha¡¯s pheromones, not to mention that Ling Mu needs Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pheromones every day, making his dependence even deeper.


    The warm and soft pheromone wrapped Ling Mu, and his trembling heart finally calmed down.


    Now his mind is blank, he wants to take Ling Dang away, but he is weak and powerless. How can he fight against the wealthy Lin family by himself?


    The person in his arms was in a daze, and Qiu Zhenyang took him to the sofa to sit down, occasionally smoothing Ling Mu¡¯s thorns to ease his mood.


    About ten minutes later, several messages came from Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s terminal. He lowered his head and checked it carefully. After confirming the contents, his expression finally improved. Patting Ling Mu¡¯s back, he said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll accompany you to pick up Ling Dang.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s head suddenly lifted, obviously excited. But he was still worried. ¡°But the Lin family¡­¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, if they don¡¯t let her go, I naturally have a way to make them.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled, but his eyes filled with cold light.


    The two left the dormitory together after making up a reason for leave with the counselor, and exited the school gate.


    Just as they passed the gates and turned a corner, they met two teams of elite soldiers in military uniforms, rendering Ling Mu speechless.


    ¡°Brother!¡± Qiu Zhenyang was not surprised at all, and greeted the man in front of the lined up soldiers.


    Qiu Haolin walked over with a smile, bumping fists with Qiu Zhenyang, and then looked at Ling Mu. ¡°Hello, my name is Qiu Haolin. I¡¯m Zhenyang¡¯s brother.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyes widened slightly. He glanced at the two stars representing the position of lieutenant general on Qiu Haolin¡¯s shoulder with excitement beyond words.


    ¡°Lieutenant General Qiu, my name is Ling Mu, it¡¯s an honor to meet you!¡± Ling Mu straightened his back involuntarily. Being nurtured by his father since he was a child, Ling Mu has strong respect for soldiers, let alone ranked ones. Qiu Haolin! Moreover, his father was the adjutant of Qiu Haolin and Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s father, General Qiu Zhang, which made Ling Mu feel even closer.


    Qiu Haolin smiled and patted his shoulder, then looked at his younger brother. ¡°Let¡¯s go to Lin¡¯s house now. After receiving your news, father contacted me as soon as possible, and even sent his personal guards. Come, let me open the way for you. Apart from those on missions, all the elites from the army are here. Just a mere Lin family, I want to see if they dare to stop us.¡±


    For a moment, Qiu Haolin¡¯s expression was exactly the same as that of Qiu Zhenyang earlier, with a knife hidden in his smile and a cold glow in his eyes.


    Ling Mu was completely confused about the situation. Frowning, he looked at Qiu Zhenyang in silent inquiry.


    Seeing that his brother had turned around and instructed the soldiers to enter the aircraft parked by the road, Qiu Zhenyang looked into Ling Mu¡¯s eyes. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say I would go with you? It¡¯s just a few more people, after all, the Lin family is cunning and insidious. Adequate preparations are necessary for Ling Dang and your safety.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s heart warmed, but his eyes were a little subtle when he looked at the soldiers.


    What addition of a few people? Isn¡¯t this adding a group of fighting machines? They¡¯re the personal guard of Marshal Qiu Zhang! There are also the elites under Lieutenant General Qiu Haolin, each of whom is an excellent soldier, ranking in the top 10. Let alone a Lin family, even if there are ten more families, they don¡¯t dare to stop them!


    This time, Qiu Zhenyang pulled the entire Qiu family behind Ling Mu.


    ¡°Is this really okay?¡± Ling Mu still felt it was a little unreal sitting in the aircraft.


    These warriors are heroes who defend their families and the country. Normally, they will only drive spaceships and mechas during war, so Ling Mu was inevitably uneasy seeing them here as support.


    But he really couldn¡¯t refuse Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s kindness. After all, the Lin family would never take him seriously if there was no backing from these people.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took his hand, knowing that Ling Mu was shy and avoided his brother¡¯s line of sight. ¡°Did you forget what I said to you before? I asked you to give me a chance, and now I can prove to you that I can protect you and Ling Dang.¡±


    Ling Mu pursed his lips tightly, not knowing how to answer.


    ¡°I¡¯m not a decent gentleman. In order to get you, I will take advantage of such an opportunity and use various methods to make you unable to refuse. But don¡¯t worry, I am definitely a person worthy for you to spend the rest of your life with!¡± Qiu Zhenyang confessed in a heartbeat with eyes gentle like water.


    ¡°Pfft¡ª¡± The originally good atmosphere was broken up by an uncontrollable laugh. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes twitched, and he looked at his brother expressionlessly.


    ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so disgusting when it comes to love.¡± Qiu Haolin wiped his smile, turned his head and pretended not to listen.


    Alas, as expected, he is getting old and can¡¯t keep up with these young people~


    QZY¡¯s brother appears! Thank you Qiu Haolin for laughing at QZY and expressing our inner thoughts on QZY¡¯s outrageous behaviour.


    by buying a ko-fi~ Thank you! Progress for add¡¯l releases, and other ongoing projects, can be found on my ko-fi page.

 CH 43

    The aircraft parked in front of the Lin family¡¯s villa area. The Lin family has a typical family-owned business, and bought a piece of land for their residence and built several rows of villas. Children and grandchildren will move to the other villas once they¡¯re old enough.


    With his lieutenant general rank, guards will let him enter directly as long as Qiu Haolin presents his ID.


    This is the prerogative of senior officers of the Federation and represents the trust and support towards officers. Of course, senior officers strictly abide by the rules on when to use this power, unless special circumstances such as today arise.


    ¡°Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s family lives in the third villa in the fourth row. He should have just received the news that we are coming. I¡¯m afraid he is heading over from the company.¡± Qiu Haolin walked in front, followed by an orderly group of soldiers, with great momentum.


    The soldiers marched in unison, and the uniform pace attracted people from nearby villas to watch. It was during work hours so those left at home were either children not old enough to go to school, or servants. Even if there was one or two mistresses, they didn¡¯t dare speak up and just watched curiously.


    When the group stood in front of Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s villa, the Lin family¡¯s internal communication chat had already exploded. Everyone was asking about it.


    ¡°Here it is.¡±


    Before coming here, Qiu Haolin had already checked the news in the shortest possible time and figured out the structure of the residence.


    Ling Mu stepped forward with a dignified expression and pressed the doorbell of the luxurious gate.


    Soon someone came out to open the door. A beta servant was taken aback when he saw the squadron outside, and asked stammeringly, ¡°Please, may I ask, who are you looking for?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m looking for Ling Dang.¡± Ling Mu restrained the strong urge to rush in and find someone. They¡¯re on Lin family turf right now. Even with the support of Qiu Zhenyang and his brother, it¡¯s better to cause less trouble. All that matters is bringing Ling Dang back.


    ¡°This¡­¡± The servant looked embarrassed and glanced at the group of people behind Ling Mu. ¡°I¡¯ll go ask madam, please wait a moment.¡±


    Weng Quan came out and greeted them with a smile. ¡°Yo, what day is today, you actually called Lieutenant General Qiu Haolin here? You two brothers are really good, not giving me any notice before coming, so I didn¡¯t know anything until now. I haven¡¯t prepared anything, so please forgive me if the reception is not good.¡±


    Qiu Haolin entered the room with a blank expression, Qiu Zhenyang pulled Ling Mu, grinned and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay auntie, we¡¯re not here as guests anyway. No need.¡±


    The smile on Weng Quan¡¯s face froze, and she scolded Dong Qiulan again in her heart.


    The soldiers did not enter the room, so Weng Quan felt less pressure. After letting the servants go make tea, she sat on the sofa and looked at Qiu Haolin, who sat opposite of her. ¡°How has Lieutenant General Qiu been recently? I heard that you went to R-34 recently, which had a planetary storm, are you alright?¡±


    ¡°Thank you Madam for your concern, everything is fine.¡± Qiu Haolin is as rigid and serious as his father when facing outsiders. Unsociable, and unwilling to communicate.


    Qiu Zhenyang saw Ling Mu looking around since he entered the house, as if he would run away to find Ling Dang if he wasn¡¯t held down, so he simply said: ¡°Aunt Weng, there is no need for greetings; you should also know the purpose of our visit this time. Ling Mu¡¯s younger sister, Ling Dang, was brought to the Lin family by her mother today. The two of them have been inseparable, and such sudden separation will inevitably lead to depression, so I think it¡¯s better to pick up Ling Dang and go home.¡±


    Ling Mu pursed his lips and did not speak, staring at Weng Quan fiercely.


    ¡°This¡­¡± Weng Quan smiled embarrassedly. ¡°This matter of Ling Dang, I am not her mother after all, and can¡¯t make the decision. Why don¡¯t you wait for my husband to come back and let him chat with you?¡±


    Ling Mu couldn¡¯t hold back: ¡°We have nothing to do with the Lin family. Why should we talk to Lin Zhiyuan? Ling Dang is my sister, I will pick her up now!¡±


    After that, he got up and walked to the utility room on the first floor.


    When they were at Lin¡¯s house, Ling Mu and Ling Dang both lived in the utility room. Dong Qiulan sometimes climbed onto Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s bed, and sometimes slept with them when she couldn¡¯t. Based on the current situation, Ling Dang is most likely still living in that utility room.


    Weng Quan stood up to stop him, but Qiu Haolin also stood up, blocking her way with a handsome face.


    Qiu Zhenyang took the opportunity to follow Ling Mu. Although Weng Quan was winking madly at the servants, trying to stop him, Qiu Zhenyang deliberately exuded the strong aura of a top alpha, which made these pheromone insensitive betas uncomfortable, and scared to block them.


    ¡°Lieutenant General Qiu, this is in our Lin family after all. It¡¯s not good to do this?¡± The smile on Weng Quan¡¯s face faded away.


    But who is Qiu Haolin? He is a lieutenant general of the Federation, with outstanding military exploits. He¡¯s unfazed in the face of the enemy, not to mention a mere mistress of the Lin family?


    ¡°Mrs. Weng, I have investigated before coming here. Neither Ms. Dong Qiulan nor her daughter have entered the Lin family.1 They are only guests here and should come and go freely. But if Ling Dang testifies that she is being maliciously detained and was kidnapped, then I fear the public image of the Lin family¡­ will be completely ruined.¡±


    As the head of the Third Consortium, if this kind of thing leaks out and their public image is destroyed, it will be an unbearable blow for the entire Lin family!


    The atmosphere in the living room stagnated instantly. Qiu Haolin didn¡¯t release a single pheromone, but Weng Quan¡¯s whole body was stiff, as if she had entered an ice cellar.


    On the other side, Ling Mu quickly ran to the utility room, but after opening the door, there was no one inside.


    ¡°This is¡­Ling Dang¡¯s schoolbag!¡± Ling Mu walked in and picked up the familiar little schoolbag on the ground. His knuckles turned white from grasping it so tightly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, look again, Ling Dang is definitely here.¡± Qiu Zhenyang comforted Ling Mu whose face didn¡¯t look very well.


    Just as the two were about to go to look elsewhere when a shrill and hoarse shout came from the back window. The voice was full of fear. As if blocked by something, it stopped abruptly, making listeners feel horrified.


    Ling Mu¡¯s face paled immediately. Without saying a word, he ran out of the utility room towards the backyard. Qiu Zhenyang closely followed, and as he passed the living room, he glanced at his brother, who nodded.


    When Ling Mu got to the backyard, it felt like his blood was flowing in reverse, and his heart was cold.


    Ling Dang was covered in water. Her pale face was hanging from the branches of the big tree by the pool. A mechanical rope was wrapped around her body, and the height could be adjusted up and down directly by remote control to immerse her in water. The pool below is not deep, about the height of an adult, but for a child in elementary school, it is complete hell!


    ¡°Ling Dang!!!¡± The hoarse roar was full of despair and anger. Ling Mu rushed forward and rushed to the edge of the pool with all his might, trying to catch his sister who was hanging by a rope and was sinking into the water again.


    But as soon as Ling Mu approached, the rope ¡°swish, swish¡± up, hanging Ling Dang to a height that he couldn¡¯t reach even if he jumped.


    Ling Dang didn¡¯t know how many times she had been immersed in water, and her consciousness had begun to blur. The cry just now was a cry for help she managed to squeeze out because she vaguely sensed her brother¡¯s arrival.


    Finally hearing Ling Mu¡¯s voice, she reluctantly opened her red and swollen eyes. Her stiff lips gently opened and closed, and she mouthed inaudibly:


    ¡°Brother¡­¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s throat choked, as if he heard his own heart breaking.


    ¡°Damn beast!¡± Qiu Zhenyang cursed, glancing at Lin Yuhan who was sitting in a wheelchair not far away. After the amputation, he lost a lot of weight in just a few days. His face was morbidly pale, like a vampire who had just woken up from a deep sleep, and his expression was so gloomy it made one feel uncomfortable.


    Seeing the two of them appear, Lin Yuhan¡¯s eyes were a little crazy, and he revealed an abnormal smile. ¡°Ah, you two are finally here, I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time.¡±


    ¡°Put her down.¡± When Qiu Zhenyang took a step forward, the two alpha bodyguards standing behind Lin Yuhan immediately stepped forward.


    Ling Mu stood under Ling Dang not daring to move for fear she would be immersed in water again. He could only roar from afar, ¡°Lin Yuhan, you bastard, if you want revenge, come find me. Let Ling Dang go!¡±


    Lin Yuhan eyes were disgusting as he smiled at the nervous Ling Mu. ¡°Come find you? Why, are you willing to let me? Haha, yes! As long as you strip naked and beg me right now, I¡¯ll put that bastard down!¡±


    He had coveted Ling Mu for a while, but he never had a chance with this this little hedgehog before he was expelled by the Lin family, and Lin Yuhan¡¯s sexual desire subsided. Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s eyes filled with tears, fiercely staring at him, Lin Yuhan felt that he would turn hard immediately if he begged.


    However, as soon as he finished speaking, a pheromone that was so strong that the two bodyguards were stunned rushed in. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s fists were so fast that the naked eye could hardly catch it. Suppressed by pheromones, the bodyguards had no time to react, and were directly knocked to the ground by a few punches.


    As well-trained guards of the Lin family, they were extremely ashamed to be knocked to the ground by the fist of a half-grown boy. They immediately got up and rushed towards Qiu Zhenyang. They were prepared this time, releasing their pheromones to defend against Qiu Zhenyang, and they used their fists without mercy.


    Ling Mu anxiously watched as Qiu Zhenyang was surrounded by two bodyguards, but he couldn¡¯t leave Ling Dang either. Forehead beaded with sweat, he could only climb up the big tree, trying to untie the mechanical equipment on it, and let Ling Dang down.


    Fortunately, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s fighting skills are there, so he wasn¡¯t at a disadvantage facing the two ruthless bodyguards. His power of observation was much sharper than Qiu Haolin¡¯s, and coupled with flexible and skillful movements, he quickly knocked them down one after another.


    Watching the two bodyguards lose their fighting power, the smile on Lin Yuhan¡¯s face finally disappeared.


    ¡°You¡¯re really capable, Qiu Zhenyang, running around wildly in my Lin family!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang sneered. ¡°One leg broken, but still haven¡¯t learned how to be smart? Your mouth is so stinky, why don¡¯t I break the other two for you?¡±


    The other two ¨C one is Lin Yuhan¡¯s still healthy leg, and the other is¡­


    With cold and disgusted eyes, Qiu Zhenyang walked over slowly, raised his foot and stepped on the chair between Lin Yuhan¡¯s legs.


    ¡°You want to touch my person? See if I agree!¡±1


    as in married or added to family tree

 CH 44

    Lin Yuhan didn¡¯t dare offend Qiu Zhenyang anymore with ¡®that¡¯ part threatened. After all, it was one of the most important things for a man.


    On the other side, Ling Mu who was unable to get rid of the mechanical rope, saw his sister close her eyes, appearing to pass out, and could only shout at Qiu Zhenyang anxiously: ¡°The remote!¡±


    Grab it, press the button, and let Ling Dang down.


    He kicked Lin Yuhan¡¯s wheelchair, knocking him over, and then ran to Ling Mu¡¯s side. ¡°How is Ling Dang?¡±


    ¡°Not good, she passed out!¡±


    Ling Mu immediately began to administer first aid, holding her waist and abdomen, back up and head down, patting her back, making her spit up a lot of water. Although her breathing was weak, it was there. Ling Mu put her on the ground again and performed CPR, but Ling Dang never woke up.


    Ling Mu burst into tears as he repeated the motions. He only felt that the sky was dark, as he hugged his sister, trying to warm her cold body with his own.


    Qiu Zhenyang leaned down and held Ling Mu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°The water has been spit out. You did a good job at the most critical step. We have to hurry to the hospital now. Ling Mu, hang on.¡±


    Ling Muhong looked up at him, choked up. He nodded, wiped away the tears, and tried to stabilize his emotions.


    Remembering that amongst his father¡¯s guards, there should be someone who understands medicine, Qiu Zhenyang leaned down to carry Ling Dang, ready to take her out of here first.


    ¡°Be careful!¡±


    Just as Qiu Zhenyang stood up holding Ling Dang, Ling Mu suddenly exclaimed!


    Qiu Zhenyang only felt that someone was running behind him, but he had no room to react with Ling Dang in his arms, and could only watch Ling Mu dodge behind him.


    ¡°F*ck!¡±


    Ling Mu only saw that the bodyguard who was beaten with a blue nose and a swollen face lunged forward to stab Qiu Zhenyang with something. He subconsciously thought it was a knife, and rushed to block it. Who knew that the bodyguard was holding a thin syringe, which directly pierced Ling Mu¡¯s outstretched arm, and all the liquid in the tube was pushed in.


    When Qiu Zhenyang looked back to see this scene, his heart almost stopped.


    He didn¡¯t know what that liquid was, but there must be something wrong with it!


    Ling Mu raised his foot and kicked violently. The bodyguard was already at the end of his rope, and was directly knocked out. Ling Mu was a little regretful he hadn¡¯t kicked out directly seeing the guard crumple with one kick. At that time, his brain was hot, and he only thought about making sure Qiu Zhenyang wasn¡¯t hurt, so his body moved faster than his brain.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at Ling Mu worriedly, but he couldn¡¯t let go of Ling Dang in his arms, so he could only grit his teeth and glared at Lin Yuhan who had fallen to the ground with the wheelchair. ¡°What did you do!¡±


    The bodyguard was obviously following Lin Yuhan¡¯s instructions. The needle was probably also prepared by him.


    Lin Yuhan turned his head to look at him with difficulty, and hummed coldly: ¡°What do you think I prepared? Qiu Zhenyang, you probably don¡¯t know, I want you dead, right?¡±


    His eyes were red, and the blood all over his body was boiling with anger: ¡°You have a hole in your brain, Lin Yuhan? After offending the Qiu family, do you think you can have a good life later?¡±


    Lin Yuhan¡¯s eyes were obscure, but he didn¡¯t speak. He also just wanted to give Qiu Zhenyang some hardships and crush him with a mecha to gain his father¡¯s trust. But in the end, even with a weapon that guaranteed success, he not only failed to bring down Qiu Zhenyang, but lost a leg instead!


    Fate always changes without one knowing. He fell lower and lower, becoming crazier, without any way out!


    Holding Ling Dang in his arms, Qiu Zhenyang could only look at Ling Mu worriedly.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, let¡¯s go.¡± Ling Mu didn¡¯t notice anything strange, as he pushed Qiu Zhenyang forward. Saving Ling Dang is the most important thing now.


    Fortunately, Qiu Haolin also arrived in the backyard at this moment, Qiu Zhenyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly handed over Ling Dang to his brother. After briefly listening to her situation, Qiu Haolin walked out without saying a word, while Qiu Zhenyang scanned Ling Mu up and down carefully.


    ¡°If you feel any discomfort, tell me right away!¡± Although he seemed fine now, Qiu Zhenyang was still uneasy, as he dragged Ling Mu out. ¡°When you get to the hospital, you must go for a check up to figure out what that needle was first. With my brother watching Ling Dang, nothing will go wrong.¡±


    They couldn¡¯t get an answer from Lin Yuhan, and could only find out for themselves.


    Before leaving, Qiu Zhenyang gave Lin Yuhan a gloomy look: ¡°I don¡¯t have time to take care of you right now, but if something happens to Ling Mu, I won¡¯t let you go even if I follow you to hell!¡±


    Wang Quan wanted to stop them, but Qiu Zhenyang released his pheromones directly, causing her to retreat with a pale face.


    When he first arrived in this world, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t really like using pheromones to achieve his goals. This way of crushing others by natural advantage is too rude.


    But now he feels that when facing some fools, pheromones are the most effective means of communication, saving time and effort, and it is too useful!


    The group successfully reached the door without any obstruction, but collided with Lin Zhiyuan as soon as they stepped out the door.


    ¡°Ling Mu, what are you doing!¡± Dong Qiulan, who followed Lin Zhiyuan, widened her eyes and glared at Ling Mu, as if he had done something heinous. ¡°Where are you going? This is where you should be!¡±


    Ling Mu squeezed his hands tightly, eyes red with blood, and he glanced at Ling Dang in Qiu Haolin¡¯s arms. ¡°You think I should be here? This place is hell, simply unfit for living. It¡¯s a place that chews people alive! And you¡¯re not worthy to say such things to me!¡±


    Dong Qiulan followed his gaze to see Ling Dang¡¯s tragic state, and was shocked.


    But it quickly passed.


    ¡°Utter nonsense! I¡¯m your mother, the one who gave birth to you and raised you. Do you know how disrespectful you¡¯re being like this?!¡± Dong Qiulan really regretted it. She originally planned to use Ling Dang to blackmail Ling Mu, and force him to compromise. But who would have known that things would escalate to such a degree? Even Qiu Haolin was present, accompanied by so many soldiers, making her head hurt.


    ¡°Whatever, I don¡¯t care anyway.¡± Ling Mu scoffed coldly. ¡°From now on, you are no longer my mother, nor Ling Dang¡¯s mother. I¡¯ll repay your hard work for raising us in the future, but we won¡¯t have anything to do with you in the future otherwise.¡±


    ¡°You¡­¡± The words were stuck in Dong Qiulan¡¯s throat. Her irritable personality made her want to scold Ling Mu, but she couldn¡¯t say anything now in front of Qiu Haolin and others, and could only glance at Lin Zhiyuan in a hurry.


    As a businessman who pays attention to his demeanor, Lin Zhiyuan can maintain a decent smile even under such severe circumstances.


    ¡°Lieutenant General Qiu Haolin, Young Master Qiu Zhenyang, our Lin family only wants to make friends with you.¡± Lin Zhiyuan glanced at Ling Dang in his arms and took a deep breath. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, it was our negligence that hurt the child. We are willing to bear all the expenses, and I will send a few professional nurses to take care of her later. I hope you can forgive us.¡±


    Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s expression was very sincere, but a volcano had already erupted in his heart.


    He asked Dong Qiulan to persuade Ling Mu, not offend the Qiu family! Look at things now ¨C people are not convinced, and the relationship with the Qiu family has frozen over. This woman really knows how to do things! Although Lin Zhiyuan had confirmed the relationship between Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, using Dong Qiulan to please Ling Mu is even more difficult now!


    He paid a lot to get on the Qiu family¡¯s boat. Even the affairs of his two sons were temporarily put on hold. As a result, with things reaching this point, what¡¯s the point of the anger he swallowed before?


    ¡°There is no need for you to cover the expenses. The Qiu family¡¯s people are naturally arranged by ourselves.¡± Qiu Zhenyang made no secret of his alienation and contempt, making obvious his disgust to see. ¡°You are an elder, your words are beautiful, and your logic is sound, but there are some things we all know are better left unsaid. Uncle Lin, goodbye, no need to send us off.¡±


    Qiu Haolin let his younger brother play, and followed behind without a word.


    The small group left unceremoniously, followed by the neat line of soldiers, with blazing momentum.


    Seeing them go away, the polite expression on Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s face finally disappeared. He immediately turned around and slapped Dong Qiulan¡¯s face hard. A middle-aged alpha¡¯s strength is very strong; Dong Qiulan¡¯s face swelled up immediately, even a tooth was knocked out, and blood stains dripped down the corner of her mouth.


    Weng Quan watched from the side, feeling happy.


    ¡°Zhiyuan, why are you treating me like this!¡± Aggrieved and uncomfortable being beaten in front of her rival, Dong Qiulan couldn¡¯t bear it. ¡°For you, I have fallen out with my son! I didn¡¯t turn Ling Dang into that. Even if you want to blame me, you can¡¯t blame everything on me. I have always been on your side!¡±


    Lin Zhiyuan snorted heavily. ¡°On my side? I think you¡¯re a spy sent by my two brothers! I asked you to persuade Ling Mu. I didn¡¯t ask you to offend him, let alone bring Ling Dang back!¡±


    Seeing Ling Dang just now, Lin Zhiyuan knew that his eldest son must have done it. The arrogant kid who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth and was spoiled by his mother made a monstrous mistake this time. But he is Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s heir after all, and has lost a leg. No matter how angry he was, as a father, he could only temporarily suppress it, so Dong Qiulan naturally bore the brunt.


    ¡°Then what can I do, he doesn¡¯t listen to me at all¡­¡± Dong Qiulan burst into tears and looked completely wronged. She knew how to take advantage of her beauty, and tried to arouse Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s pity.


    But this time she made a mistake. Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s target was always Ling Mu, and Dong Qiulan¡¯s calculations fell short.


    Without Ling Mu, this bargaining chip, in Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s eyes, Dong Qiulan is just a brainless omega who looks good.


    With his wealth, such omegas are not rare.


    ¡°Lock her up in the basement.¡± Lin Zhiyuan took out the napkin in his pocket in disgust to wipe the hand that hit Dong Qiulan, as if he was afraid that it was contaminated with something unclean.


    The corner of Weng Quan¡¯s mouth raised a strange and satisfying smile, and she waved to a servant on the side: ¡°What are you still doing, drag her down.¡±


    Dong Qiulan never thought that Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s true face would actually be like this. She lost her mind, scurrying towards Lin Zhiyuan in panic, wanting to grab his arm and beg him. But halfway through, two beta servants grabbed her arms and dragged her directly to the side hall towards the basement.


    ¡°Zhiyuan, Lin Zhiyuan! You can¡¯t treat me like this! My son is with Qiu Zhenyang, and I¡¯ll be a member of the Qiu family in the future. You can¡¯t treat me like this!¡± Dong Qiulan roared like a madwoman, struggling to break free. Her legs were on the ground, wanting to anchor herself, but received no response apart from Weng Quan¡¯s smug and contemptuous eyes. Lin Zhiyuan completely ignored her, taking off his coat, hanging it on his hands, and went inside the villa.


    Dong Qiulan¡¯s hoarse screams were quickly muffled and blocked when the heavy door panels of the basement slammed shut.

 CH 45

    Before getting on the aircraft to go to the hospital, Qiu Haolin asked the other soldiers to return to the army, leaving only the driver on his side.


    Ling Dang¡¯s situation wasn¡¯t optimistic, and is worrying especially as more time passed. Fortunately, Qiu Haolin had some experience. After using the medical equipment to perform a simple inspection, he determined that there was no danger to her life. Ling Mu and Qiu Zhenyang breathed a sigh of relief.


    The driver drove the aircraft to the nearest hospital. Inside, Ling Mu sat beside Ling Dang and looked down at her with eyes full of distress.


    Qiu Zhenyang sat next to him. At first he didn¡¯t feel that anything was wrong, but he finally realized the abnormality when a scent of flowers emanating from Ling Mu¡¯s body wafted into his nose.


    ¡°Ling Mu, are you not feeling well?¡± Qiu Zhenyang raised his brows and put his hand on Ling Mu¡¯s palm, finding it was terribly hot! The latter turned his head to look at him slowly with dazed eyes and flushed cheeks, appearing very wrong.


    Qiu Haolin also got up, coughed lightly, walked to the farthest seat and sat down, reminding Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°His pheromone is not quite right. Did something else happen when he was in the Lin family?¡±


    Almost immediately, Qiu Zhenyang remembered the syringe filled with unknown liquid, and cursed in a low voice.


    ¡°Lin Yuhan instructed his subordinates to inject me with something, but Ling Mu helped me block it. That guy never said what it was!¡± Qiu Zhenyang was annoyed. If something happened to Ling Mu, he would never forgive himself in this lifetime!


    Seeing his younger brother¡¯s painful expression of regret, Qiu Haolin¡¯s heart also sank. ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. We¡¯ll be at the hospital soon; Ling Mu will be fine.¡±


    So many messed up things happened making Qiu Haolin have a headache.


    ¡°I can¡¯t control¡­ pheromones¡­¡± Ling Mu held Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand painfully, nails sinking into his flesh.


    Qiu Zhenyang could only grit his teeth and hug him tightly. There was nothing he could do. As Ling Mu said, he couldn¡¯t control his pheromones. They continually spilled out from the glands behind his neck little by little, like a perfume bottle that was knocked over, a light tinge at the start, and gradually filling the whole space. All corners of the aircraft were stained with the smell.


    Pheromones are quite nasty things. At the same time as Qiu Zhenyang was anxious and worried, his possessiveness as an alpha also exploded, tightly hugging Ling Mu with crimson eyes, and releasing his own pheromones to cover Ling Mu¡¯s scent.


    The other two people in the aircraft were hit by these two pheromones and felt uncomfortable. Qiu Haolin¡¯s brows furrowed, but he was fine. However, the driver couldn¡¯t hold it anymore.


    Noticing it quickly, Qiu Haolin immediately got up and walked towards the driver. ¡°Stop the aircraft, I¡¯ll drive. You can take a taxi back.¡±


    Controlling the aircraft to stop on the side of the road, the driver¡¯s feet were practically floating with relief when he exited.


    After he left, Qiu Haolin immediately restarted the aircraft and rushed to the hospital.


    The onset of Ling Mu¡¯s situation was too fast. His whole body turned red, the veins on his neck and forehead swelled, he looked as though he was about to explode. At the same time, the pheromone on his body accelerated to overflow, and even Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pheromone could no longer suppress it.


    ¡°He may have been hit with a pheromone destroyer, and the pheromones in his body are disordered. Quickly mark him and give him a lot of pheromones!¡± Being older and more knowledgeable, Qiu Haolin knew something about these things, and immediately reminded Qiu Zhenyang.


    Hearing this, Qiu Zhenyang grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s neck as fast as he could, and opened his mouth to bite the blushing gland.


    Ling Mu¡¯s body shook wildly, but after the alpha pheromones entered his body, the shaking gradually calmed down, the overflowing omega pheromone retracted, and even the red tide all over his body slowly faded away. The tense muscles relaxed, and Ling Mu finally caught his breath.


    Qiu Zhenyang thought that was enough, but as soon as his teeth left Ling Mu¡¯s glands, his pheromones overflowed again.


    Ling Mu¡¯s expression turned painful again, and was even accompanied by ***.


    ¡°Brother! It¡¯s not working!¡± Qiu Zhenyang shouted anxiously, without the slightest composure.


    Qiu Haolin shouted: ¡°Keep biting! Don¡¯t let go before we get to the hospital!¡±


    Pheromone destroyers are banned drugs. No one is allowed to make or sell it in the Federation. Currently, it is only used by the military when interrogating prisoners. This kind of drug is almost always lethal for alphas. While less effective on betas and omegas, it also causes great pain.


    Qiu Haolin looked at the road ahead with cold eyes. It seemed that it was necessary to check the Lin family after going back.


    Qiu Zhenyang bit Ling Mu again, continually injecting his own pheromones. Seeing that the person in his arms calmed down, Qiu Zhenyang felt a lot more at ease, but his hatred for the Lin family only grew.


    He will bring down the Lin family one day!


    When they finally arrived at the hospital, the doctors and nurses who had been instructed by Qiu Haolin were already standing at the entrance. As soon as the aircraft stopped, they immediately transferred Ling Dang to the medical bed and sent her in first. On Ling Mu¡¯s side, a doctor went to the aircraft and injected him with a reliever. Qiu Zhenyang was then allowed to let go and went down with the weak and feeble Ling Mu.


    Both of them were sent to the emergency room. Sitting outside the emergency room, Qiu Zhenyang waited with a pale face and clenched fists.


    Qiu Haolin, who had called his father, came over and patted his younger brother on the shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it will be fine. The damage to the omega is not great, and it will be over in a few days. Although it is inappropriate to say this now, I¡¯m still very grateful to Ling Mu. If it weren¡¯t for him blocking the needle for you, you probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to leave the Lin family at all.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang shook his head, not wanting to speak.


    Seeing this, Qiu Haolin could only sit down against him and wait with him.


    It¡¯s just that the long waiting time will only make people more anxious. Qiu Zhenyang ruffled his hair irritably, and then clicked on the terminal to access the information on the Lin family.


    He would never let them go, let alone Lin Yuhan. Therefore, he needs to know himself and his opponent in order to gradually disintegrate them and defeat them in one fell swoop!


    However, the information on the Internet is limited. In the end, Qiu Zhenyang had to ask Qiu Haolin, ¡°Brother, can you get more detailed information about the Lin family?¡±


    Qiu Haolin nodded: ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll let my subordinates do some digging, and pass you a copy when they¡¯re done.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°Zhenyang, you¡­¡±


    Hearing Qiu Haolin¡¯s rare hesitation, Qiu Zhenyang opened his mouth again, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, brother? Just tell me if there¡¯s something. There¡¯s no need to hide anything between us two brothers.¡±


    Qiu Haolin glanced at the emergency room. ¡°When we were on the phone before, because you said the situation was urgent, I didn¡¯t ask clearly. Are you really sure that you want to be with Ling Mu?¡±


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang about to open his mouth, Qiu Haolin immediately raised his hand to stop him: ¡°You can answer after thinking it through. I watched you grow up, and I know your preferences and personality well. Ling Mu shouldn¡¯t be the type you like, right? I hope you won¡¯t hurt him again. You were very resolute when you broke off the marriage back then, so it¡¯s hard to believe you now.¡±


    He had to explain to Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu first, now it¡¯s his brother, and his parents most likely later. Qiu Zhenyang suddenly felt his head was big. However, in order to have a bright future with Ling Mu, he still answered seriously:


    ¡°Brother, I know what I¡¯m doing, and I¡¯m sure that Ling Mu is the person I like. Everyone¡¯s favorite type may change with age. After entering university, I matured a lot and gradually realized that Ling Mu is truly the person I like.¡±


    The two brothers chatted for a while. Qiu Zhenyang spit out some sincere words, and was also lectured by his brother not to be too impulsive and to consider the consequences before acting. However, Qiu Haolin was gratified at the current Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s behavior. After all, he watched his actions all the way from the school to the Lin family to the hospital, and knew that his brother wasn¡¯t making things up.


    As they were talking, the door of the emergency room on Ling Dang¡¯s side opened. Qiu Zhenyang stood up with a bang, went up to the doctor and asked, ¡°Doctor, how is Ling Dang?¡±


    The doctor took off his mask before speaking. ¡°The patient is all right. Thanks to your first aid, she just needs to rest for a while. The child has good resilience and will soon be able to jump around.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang thanked him, and his heart was half relieved.


    ¡°Brother, you accompany Ling Dang over first to the ward. I¡¯ll wait here for Ling Mu to come out.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Qiu Haolin followed the doctors and nurses and left first.


    The waiting time for a person seemed to be longer. When the emergency room where Ling Mu was in finally opened, Qiu Zhenyang was so anxious his eyes were red with blood.


    ¡°Ling Mu!¡±


    Seeing the nurses pushing him out, Qiu Zhenyang immediately rushed to the side of the hospital bed with anxiety written over his face. The man on the bed was wore an oxygen mask, his face was bloodless, and he was sleeping peacefully, making Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart unbearably soft.


    ¡°How is he doing?¡±


    The doctor is experienced, and his tone is very kind: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, pheromone destroyers are not fatal for omegas. You brought him over in time and gave him a lot of pheromones, so his situation is not bad. We have neutralized most of the drugs, but he will be more sensitive to pheromones for the next few days. Try not to let him get too close to other people.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang choked. ¡°I am his alpha, can I get close to him?¡±


    The doctor smiled: ¡°You can¡¯t, only betas can.¡±


    ¡°How long will this last?¡± Qiu Zhenyang asked depressedly.


    ¡°It¡¯s about three or five days. It depends on his own ability to recover.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang followed the nurse pushing Ling Mu to the same ward as Ling Dang. Qiu Haolin also came over to check the situation.


    When they were about to leave, Qiu Zhenyang suddenly thought of a question: ¡°Wait, doctor. I took him to see a doctor before and they said he has a pheromone craving disorder and needs my pheromone every day. This¡­¡±


    ¡°Ah, don¡¯t worry about this matter. Although the destroyer caused a lot of pain, it also resolved his pheromone craving disorder.¡± The doctor was a bit in awe. If it weren¡¯t for the drug being banned, he would want to take some to study it.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression was a bit complicated. After thanking him dryly, he sat down on the chair beside Ling Mu¡¯s bed with a sullen face, and even moved a small distance away, not daring to get too close.


    Although the problem of the pheromone destroyer has been solved, the disappearance of the pheromone craving disorder is a bit troublesome¡­


    Alas, Qiu Zhenyang sighed¡­


    That¡¯s right, QZY. No more taking advantage of Mumu!

 CH 46

    Because of Ling Mu¡¯s special situation, Qiu Zhenyang specially called home and asked his mother to send a beta nurse over.


    When the nurse arrived, Ling Dang just woke up. Qiu Haolin went back to the army first, so Qiu Zhenyang asked the nurse named Xiao Qing to take care of Ling Mu, while he went to accompany Ling Dang first.


    ¡°Brother Qiu, what¡¯s wrong with him?¡± Ling Dang worriedly turned his head to look at her sleeping brother. She was obviously tired, but didn¡¯t want to look away.


    Qiu Zhenyang lightly touched the top of her head. ¡°Your brother is fine; he¡¯s resting. Ling Dang should also close your eyes and rest. When you wake up, your brother will wake up and talk to you.¡±


    Getting along in the last few months made Ling Dang trust and rely on Qiu Zhenyang. Her eyelids began to grow heavy after hearing his words.


    But as soon as she closed her eyes, she immediately recalled the scene where Lin Yuhan sent bodyguards to tie her to a tree and drowned in water.


    Ling Dang¡¯s eyelids trembled violently, and her small hand outside the quilt was bunched up in a tight fist.


    Qiu Zhenyang immediately grabbed her hand: ¡°Ling Dang, Ling Dang? Don¡¯t be afraid, it¡¯s all right now, I won¡¯t let that scum hurt you again!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s warm voice was powerful and warm, invisibly comforting Ling Dang¡¯s heart. Her little hand slowly loosened, her expression was no longer tense, and she gradually relaxed. Qiu Zhenyang finally breathed a sigh of relief when her exhausted body fell into sleep.


    Those people in the Lin family are really disgusting. Dealing such a ruthless hand on a ten-year-old girl, causing a serious psychological shadow! He didn¡¯t know how long it would take Ling Dang to forget this pain. Hopefully it won¡¯t be too long.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t wake up the next morning. Fortunately, Ling Dang was well-behaved. After getting out of bed, she ran to sit by Ling Mu¡¯s bed. Qiu Zhenyang was worried about her body, so he and Xiao Qing put the two hospital beds together so Ling Dang could sleep next to her brother.


    When Qiu Zhenyang asked the doctor, he said he was still unconscious due to the pheromone problem, but should wake up soon.


    Sure enough, when it was almost evening in the afternoon, Ling Mu woke up.


    ¡°How are you?¡± Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t dare to get too close, standing half a meter away from Ling Mu¡¯s bed, and asked Xiao Qing to call the doctor.


    ¡°It¡¯s good, I¡¯m just a little hungry.¡± Ling Mu¡¯s face was pale, but he was in good spirits, and he was able to hold Ling Dang in his arms.


    Qiu Zhenyang finally let go of his heart at his words, and smiled dotingly. ¡°Okay, if the doctor allows you to eat, I¡¯ll go to the hospital kitchen to make you something to eat.¡±


    He was reluctant to let Ling Mu eat nutritional supplements or those unpalatable foods. It¡¯s better to do it himself.


    Ling Dang obediently buried her head beside Ling Mu. It was fortunate that she was a beta, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t be able to get close to her brother right now.


    After the doctor came, he checked Ling Mu and confirmed that everything was normal. Qiu Zhenyang also asked if he could eat. After getting an affirmative reply, he let Xiao Qing watch over them while he went to the hospital kitchen himself.


    Xiao Qing is a very chatty beta. With the young master gone, her caution also vanished, as she said to Ling Mu with a smile: ¡°My name is Xiao Qing, Young Master Ling Mu, you have such a good relationship with Young Master Zhenyang such that he¡¯s willing to cook for you himself~ However, I don¡¯t seem to recall hearing that the young master can cook?¡±


    Ling Mu was a little embarrassed: ¡°I¡¯m not a young master, you can just call me Ling Mu. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s cooking skills aren¡¯t too bad.¡±


    ¡°Ah, then I¡¯ll call you Ling Mu, ah~ That, can I ask what your relationship is with Young Master Zhenyang?¡± Xiao Qing looked at Ling Mu curiously. Although she knew he was an omega, because his appearance was more like a beta, it made Xiao Qing inexplicably a little bolder.


    ¡°We really don¡¯t have a relationship.¡± Ling Mu touched Ling Dang¡¯s head, who looked up at him curiously.


    ¡°Oh~¡± Xiao Qing dragged her voice out meaningfully. She got up to help Ling Mu pull up the thin quilt that fell down. ¡°But I think Young Master Zhenyang likes you very much. He was determined to stay by your side last night and slept on the sofa, in order to be there when you woke up. But because he was too tall, he accidentally fell down several times in the middle of the night, and screamed miserably.¡±


    Xiao Qing¡¯s description was vivid, causing the corners of Ling Mu¡¯s mouth to curl up uncontrollably as he imagined the scene.


    ¡°You look so good when you smile!¡± Xiao Qing, who was observing him, exclaimed in surprise. ¡°You should smile more. The young master must also like the way you smile, because when he looks at you sleeping, his eyes are full of love.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s face blushed. The slight smile at the corner of his mouth immediately subsided as he coughed lightly and feigned indifference. ¡°Who wants his love.¡±


    Xiao Qing blinked, shrugged, and said silently in her heart: Young master has it hard, he fell in love with a duplicitous omega~


    Thinking about Ling Mu¡¯s stomach, Qiu Zhenyang made congee and side dishes. He was almost surrounded by people when he was cooking in the hospital. The congee smelled so fragrant, luring several cooks who came over to ask Qiu Zhenyang for a bowl.


    When he pushed the door in, Xiao Qing was playing with Ling Dang, while Ling Mu was leaning on the head of the bed and looking out the window. His side face was softened by the setting sun outside, and the fine fluff on his smooth face was faintly visible.


    Qiu Zhenyang felt that his heart was full watching the scene.


    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s eat.¡±


    With Xiao Qing¡¯s help, Qiu Zhenyang brought the congee and vegetables to Ling Mu¡¯s bed, and the four of them ate together. Qiu Zhenyang sat the furthest away, but he was always watching Ling Mu.


    Xiao Qing was a little nervous to eat with the young master at first, but after tasting the congee made by Qiu Zhenyang, her eyes lit up like stars.


    ¡°Oh my god, young master, this is delicious! Did you really make this?¡± The Qiu family eats well. Servants can choose their own nutritional supplements or meals, but Xiao Qing has never eaten such tasty things before! It clearly looks like a goopy mess!


    Qiu Zhenyang chuckled. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t me, who else could have made it? Hurry up and eat. It will get cold later.¡±


    Xiao Qing quickly buried her head in congee and vegetables with a contented face.


    After eating, Xiao Qing packed up the dishes, and brought them back to the kitchen. Qiu Zhenyang asked Ling Mu¡¯s opinion whether he should go back to Qiu¡¯s house to recuperate with himself.


    ¡°There are many people in the hospital, and the sound insulation effect is not good, which will affect your and Ling Dang¡¯s recovery.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes were full of sincerity.


    Ling Mu hesitated, is this okay? Going to someone else¡¯s home to recuperate for no reason will make anyone uncomfortable.


    Qiu Zhenyang deserved to be someone who knew Ling Mu; he knew what he was thinking about the moment he frowned.


    ¡°Ling Dang, I forgot to tell Xiao Qing to bring some fruit back, can you help me find her?¡± Qiu Zhenyang looked at Ling Dang with a smile. She can get out of bed now, and is fine running and jumping. Walking is also a means of exercise.


    Ling Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at his sister, who looked at Qiu Zhenyang innocently and said with contempt, ¡°Brother Qiu, don¡¯t you know how to make a call?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡­


    Boss, can¡¯t you just walk away so I can speak with your brother?


    Qiu Zhenyang gritted his teeth and smiled stiffly: ¡°Ling Dang just go with Xiao Qing to see what fruits there are, and pick some you like better. Oh, and choose some things your brother likes as well. These things are hard to explain on the phone.¡±


    Ling Dang nodded, putting on her small shoes happily, and went out to look for Sister Xiao Qing after being forced to wear a coat by Qiu Zhenyang.


    The little devil finally left, and Qiu Zhenyang looked at Ling Mu again. ¡°You like me, right?¡±


    ¡°!!!¡± Taken back by the abrupt words, Ling Mu looked over in horror.


    Just as he was about to speak, Qiu Zhenyang raised his hand to stop him. ¡°Don¡¯t rush to speak, I won¡¯t accept you avoiding the subject all the time. Ling Mu, when you helped block the pheromone destroyer at the Lin family, were you really doing that as a friend?¡±


    Ling Mu was a little overwhelmed and looked at Qiu Zhenyang in confusion.


    He wanted to deny it, but he couldn¡¯t say what he was denying with Qiu Zhenyang looking at him with those eyes as dark as the blackest night.


    Even he himself didn¡¯t know whether there were other feelings at play at that time.


    Qiu Zhenyang sighed lightly: ¡°Don¡¯t reject me again, okay? Although we haven¡¯t known each other long enough, the things we¡¯ve experienced are enough to build trust and feelings between us. It¡¯s not easy for people to treat each other sincerely. I think I¡¯m not bad as a partner, do you really not want to consider it?¡±


    Ling Mu pursed his lips. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s really not bad. No matter family background, appearance, or personality, he is the ideal object of most omegas. In the omega classes, when alphas are being talked about, Qiu Zhenyang is the most frequently discussed.


    Ling Mu began to feel irritable just thinking about it in his heart.


    He has never liked people who procrastinate, but he¡¯s pushed and resisted the situation with Qiu Zhenyang for a long time. Either agree, or refuse, or approach, or stay away, isn¡¯t it a simple matter?


    He hates being so indecisive!


    ¡°F*ck!¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s sudden burst of foul language terrified Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, let me tell you, if you dare wrong me in the future, I will definitely chop up your thing below!¡± Ling Mu was clearly uttering a vicious threat, but his cheeks were red as apples making him look very cute.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was hit by these bold words, was stunned for a moment, before he grinned.


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    His eyes were as bright as stars, full of surprises and love, making joy seem to take on physical form. Excessive excitement caused the pheromones of his glands to start to scatter unconsciously, cheering and flocking to his omega, wanting to touch him, wanting to hug him.


    ¡°Nnn!¡± Ling Mu suddenly bit his lip and whimpered, clutching his glands and frowned.


    ¡°Ling Mu? Ah, my pheromone! Tsk, I¡¯ll come back later!¡± The dull Qiu Zhenyang finally realized that his pheromones had overflowed, and hurried to the door, adjusting the sensor on the door before going out to clear out the pheromones.


    After closing the door, Qiu Zhenyang leaned against the door and took a deep breath.


    Standing there, he lowered his head beaming in happiness.


    So nice~


    QZY: Let¡¯s be together


    LM: ¡­


    QZY: Don¡¯t you like me?


    LM: !!!


    QZY: Aren¡¯t I good? I like you, Mumu~


    LM: F*ck! Fine. But if you cheat¡­


    QZY: Never!


    QZY: Mumu¡¯s mine now~

 CH 47

    Qiu Zhenyang, who finally established a relationship with Ling Mu, continued grinning with a wide open mouth. When Xiao Qing brought Ling Dang back with a large bag of fruits, she saw her young master standing in front of the door, looking like a fool.


    ¡°Ah, you guys are back, hehe hehe.¡±


    Xiao Qing: ¡­


    Ling Dang: ¡­


    ¡°Brother Qiu, are you broken?¡± Ling Dang raised her face and asked. Besider her, Xiao Qing was trying her best to hold back the painful laughs.


    ¡°Tsk, what are you talking about? I¡¯m happy, you understand, happy!¡± Qiu Zhenyang patted Ling Dang¡¯s head, but was pushed away by the little girl who refused. ¡°Okay, hurry in and let¡¯s see what fruits you bought for your brother.¡±


    When the trio returned to the ward, Ling Mu had already fallen asleep again. The sequelae was still very much present. He was very uncomfortable after coming into contact with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pheromone just now; his physical strength seemed to drain out, and he quickly fell asleep.


    Qiu Zhenyang made a shush gesture, gently closed the door, and gestured to Xiao Qing to go and cover Ling Mu with the quilt.


    Ling Dang was led into the bathroom by Qiu Zhenyang. The two of them closed the door and opened the running water to wash the fruit. Qiu Zhenyang also took out a knife and a fruit plate to slice the fruit.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t sleep for long this time, and woke up around 8 o¡¯clock in the evening.


    Ling Dang had changed back into her usual clothes, and was sitting on the sofa holding a plate, eating fruit while watching videos on the terminal. Xiao Qing was sorting things on the side, and Qiu Zhenyang was nowhere to be seen.


    ¡°Ah, you¡¯re awake.¡± With her keen observation, Xiao Qing noticed it almost the moment he opened his eyes. She put down the things in her hand and asked, ¡°Is there any discomfort? Do you need me to call a doctor?¡±


    Ling Mu shook his head. Before going out, Qiu Zhenyang pressed the controller to vacuum all residual pheromones. He felt a lot more refreshed after the short nap.


    Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s eyes wandering around the room, Xiao Qing responded very quickly: ¡°Master Zhenyang is out on the phone, and was afraid to disturb you.¡±


    At the mention of Qiu Zhenyang, Ling Mu¡¯s ears turned red uncontrollably. Ling Mu was still a little in disbelief at remembering that he had established a relationship with Qiu Zhenyang before falling asleep.


    They went around in a circle. From engagement to broken engagement; from chance encounter to a confirmed relationship again. He could only sigh that fate is ever-changing. Who would have thought that the two of them would have such a relationship?


    At this moment, Qiu Zhenyang returned after the call, only to see Ling Mu awake. ¡°I¡¯ve asked the school for leave. We have a week to adjust. Will you come to my house with Ling Dang? The guest rooms are cleaned up. I¡¯ve also told my parents that we are together, and they also welcome you to come.¡±


    Xiao Qing was frightened by Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words, and her eyes wandered back and forth between Ling Mu and her young master in surprise.


    Embarrassed, Ling Mu nodded in a muffled voice: ¡°Ok.¡±


    They¡¯re already together. Refusing now seems pretentious¡­ Anyway, he had nowhere to go. Qiu¡¯s house is a good option, even if it¡¯s only for Ling Dang¡¯s sake.


    With Ling Mu¡¯s assent, Qiu Zhenyang was in high spirits. He went out to buy some clothes while Ling Mu was asleep according to the sizes of Ling Mu and Ling Dang. Ling Dang has already changed, and it¡¯s Ling Mu¡¯s time now.


    Zhu Qin, who got the news, immediately sent a housekeeper to the hospital to pick him up. It didn¡¯t take long for them to arrive at the Qiu family villa.


    ¡°Welcome, welcome, you can just treat this as your own home, don¡¯t be restrained.¡± Zhu Qin greeted them at the door with a smile, and immediately went to Ling Mu with a face full of joy.


    It was the first time that Ling Mu was treated so warmly, not to mention that the other party was Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mother.


    ¡°Thank you, thank you auntie, I¡¯m sorry for disturbing you.¡± Embarrassed, Ling Mu didn¡¯t know where to put his hands.


    ¡°Oh, what¡¯s so embarrassing. We¡¯ll be a family from now on! Come, Ling Dang, come in with me too~¡± Zhu Qin led Ling Dang inside. Qiu Zhenyang had told her about Ling Mu¡¯s condition, so she stayed away from him and simply chatted with Ling Mu with a smile. Her son, on the other hand, was completely forgotten.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was left behind, touched his nose and followed.


    Zhu Qin first brought Ling Mu and Ling Dang to see their rooms. They were cleaned up and prepared immediately after Qiu Zhenyang called home.


    Ling Mu¡¯s room is very spacious, with a comfortable blue and white tone, while the walls on Ling Dang¡¯s room were pasted with cute pink wallpaper. Zhu Qin also stuffed a lot of dolls into Ling Dang¡¯s room, which were all bought by the housekeeper just now.


    Ling Dang¡¯s eyes lit up the moment she saw her room, happily dragging Ling Mu inside.


    ¡°Thank you auntie, we¡¯ve troubled you.¡± Ling Mu was quite embarrassed, and avoided Zhu Qin and glared at Qiu Zhenyang who was leaning against the door. He agreed to come and live here, but he didn¡¯t want to make them worry so much! It¡¯s obvious the room was carefully prepared at first glance. So troublesome!


    Qiu Zhenyang shrugged; he was innocent.


    He didn¡¯t let his mother do this, and if he hadn¡¯t stopped her, his mother would have prepared a celebration!


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go down to eat, Dad and brother are coming back soon.¡± Qiu Zhenyang turned around and walked downstairs. Originally, his father was going to stay in the army today, but when he heard that Ling Mu was coming, he immediately asked for leave to come back. Fortunately, Ling Mu woke up late, so dinner could be postponed.


    Back downstairs, Zhu Qin dragged Ling Mu to chat, waiting for Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin to return.


    Ling Mu felt his blood boil the moment he saw Qiu Zhang. He stood up abruptly and gave Qiu Zhang a standard military salute: ¡°Hello, uncle! Hello, brother!¡±


    Everyone was shocked, and Qiu Zhang looked at him in surprise. Ling Mu immediately blushed, wanting to find a hole to bury himself!


    He was deeply influenced by his father, so when he saw Qiu Zhang, he instinctively saluted, but now¡­


    ¡°Hahaha! Good! Good!¡± Qiu Zhang laughed out loud immediately after the surprise, and looked at Ling Mu with admiration. ¡°You and your father are carved out of the same mold! You¡¯re a good boy!¡±


    As he spoke, Qiu Zhang¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but get wet.


    He blinked at the vicissitudes of life and walked to the restaurant with a smile: ¡°You¡¯re hungry, right? Come and eat, I heard Zhenyang say you¡¯re not in good health and need to rest more, so hurry up and go to bed after eating. The body is the most important thing!¡±


    Today¡¯s dinner is made by the cook. Qiu Zhenyang wrote the recipe back when he was in school, and let the cook try to follow the instructions, so the taste was much improved compared to before. However, Ling Mu felt it tasted quite different from what Qiu Zhenyang made, and he even wondered how that guy learned how to cook.


    ¡°Zhenyang, you finally got it right. Ling Mu is such a good boy, it¡¯s a pity to pair with you.¡± Qiu Zhang really disliked his youngest son. In the past, the person he trusted most on the battlefield was his adjutant Ling Bingqian, and he also liked his children very much. Although he hadn¡¯t seen them much, he always sent gifts for Ling Bingqian to take back.


    Qiu Zhang was really angry when Qiu Zhenyang insisted on breaking off the marriage with Ling Mu before, so he was very relieved to see the two boys together.


    He wanted to see Qiu Zhenyang marry Ling Mu, and let Ling Mu and Ling Dang live without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. This was the best way to pay back Ling Bingqian.


    As for Dong Qiulan, hmph, that woman doesn¡¯t deserve to be a mother at all!


    ¡°I heard that you opened a shop in the school, and the business is not bad?¡± Qiu Zhang heard this from his comrades.


    Qiu Zhenyang was bringing a plate of dishes to Xiao Qing to bring to Ling Mu. Ling Mu was still sensitive to pheromones, so he sat farthest away.


    ¡°En, just messing around.¡± Qiu Zhenyang kept his eyes on Ling Mu, and replied absently. When he saw Ling Mu eating, he turned to look at his father. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Qiu Zhang snorted at his crooked and dog-like appearance, while Zhu Qin had a smile on her face and was very satisfied.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I was just asking casually. By the way, your grandparents will come over the day after tomorrow, remember to entertain them well.¡± Qiu Zhang just remembered this. He basically stays in the army most days, but Qiu Zhenyang is here, so he can accompany them.


    ¡°Ah, grandpa and grandma are coming over? That¡¯s great, dad. Don¡¯t worry, I will accompany them well.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was overjoyed. He had planned to find a time to discuss some things with grandma, and with them coming the day after tomorrow, the timing couldn¡¯t be better.


    He unearthed a lot of information about the Lin family over these two days. Qiu Haolin also passed him some news that could not be found online.


    He hates the entire Lin family to the bone. Lin Yuhan is easy to deal with, but bringing the entire Lin family  is trickier. But with his grandmother¡¯s support, his plan will be half-successful.


    ¡°Since you asked for leave, spend the next few days with Ling Mu and Ling Dang. Give them more nourishment; just tell the housekeeper what they want to eat.¡± Qiu Zhang instructed Qiu Zhenyang, and turned to Ling Mu with a kind smile. Ling Mu quickly thanked him.


    After his father¡¯s death, the relatives of the Ling family all cut off contact with them, so Ling Mu has no elders. Now, whether it is Qiu Zhang, Zhu Qin, or Qiu Haolin, seeing them treat him so kindly, Ling Mu¡¯s heart was sour, a mix of joy and sorrow.


    The brightly lit house, the steaming meals, and the simple and comfortable chat are very common. But these are things Ling Mu hasn¡¯t experienced for a long time.


    Burying his head in the vegetables Qiu Zhenyang picked, his eyes gradually turned red.


    This was the life he had always dreamed of.


    It¡¯s good the Qiu family supports LM. Mumu deserves some happiness.

 CH 48

    Qiu Zhenyang brought some things to Ling Mu¡¯s room before bedtime.


    ¡°These are pajamas, and the slippers are new. They¡¯ve been sterilized, and you can use them.¡± Putting down the clothes on the sofas, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help saying helplessly when he saw Ling Mu standing by the open window, ¡°You¡¯re not in good health, don¡¯t stand there for too long. Be careful of catching a cold.¡±


    Ling Mu frowned, ¡°How can I be so weak?¡±


    Despite his stubborn words, he obediently closed the window, and walked over to the sofa to pickup the items and prepare to shower.


    Seeing him walk over, Qiu Zhenyang quickly took a few steps back. ¡°Hey, be careful, tell me before you come over. It¡¯s better to keep a distance.¡±


    He is now more afraid of approaching Ling Mu than anyone else, for fear that his approach will make Ling Mu feel uncomfortable.


    Seeing this, Ling Mu looked at him teasingly: ¡°You¡¯re quite sensible now. I don¡¯t know who was rushing to stick to me like sticky brown candy before? So annoying.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was ridiculed, did not reveal one ounce of being wronged. He still put his hands in his pockets, raised his head slightly, and said in a condescending manner, ¡°That¡¯s natural. If I don¡¯t keep close to my wife, who knows if you¡¯ll slip away when I don¡¯t pay attention. Who will I cry to at that time? If it weren¡¯t for me not being able to get close to you now, I would hug you and kiss you right now!¡±


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s face flushed at the words. How can this guy be so thick-skinned when talking about love? He¡¯s not even blushing!


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s handsome face curved into a wanton smile as he deliberately raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice, ¡°What shame? You are my person now, so I can kiss and hug as I want! Xiao Mumu, get ready, when your health is ready, I may not be able to hold back~¡±


    After that, Qiu Zhenyang licked his lips vulgarly, staining the thin red lips with crystal clear liquid, and full of color.


    ¡°Shoo! Get away from me!¡±


    After kicking Qiu Zhenyang out, Ling Mu rubbed his face desperately trying to make the heat on his face fade.


    In the end, he brought the pajamas and took a shower, but his face only turned redder over time.


    Burying himself in the quilt, Ling Mu shouted loudly to himself, ¡°Ahhhhh, Qiu Zhenyang you stupid bastard!!!¡±


    For the sake of Ling Mu¡¯s body, Qiu Zhenyang set an early alarm clock for the next day in order to get up and make a nutritious breakfast for him.


    There were insufficient ingredients in the hospital, so he could only make some random foods yesterday. Not that he¡¯s at home with a fully stocked kitchen, he can make a nutritious and delicious meal.


    Breakfast was congee and steamed buns. Qiu Zhenyang added some vegetables and seasonings to the lean meat congee, for taste and nutrition. He didn¡¯t know how to make steamed buns, but fortunately, there is a cook to help him. All he needs to do is mix the stuffing, and the cook did everything from kneading the dough. Seeing there was still time, he also made a simple egg custard, which was soft, fragrant, and very appetizing.


    In the end, Qiu Zhenyang also made freshly squeezed juice from Ling Mu¡¯s favorite fruit.


    Breakfast was ready by the time everyone was up. Qiu Zhenyang brought it to the dining table in person.


    ¡°This, you made everything?¡±


    Zhu Qin looked at her son in disbelief. Although Qiu Zhenyang shared a lot of recipes previously, and she also heard he opened a shop, she didn¡¯t think too much. She thought her son chanced on an ancient book, but seeing him reveal his skills shocked her.


    Qiu Zhang even more suspiciously looked at the mush in the bowl, holding the spoon hesitantly and did not dare to speak.


    ¡°What are you doing, why don¡¯t you eat?¡± Qiu Zhenyang sat down at the table, and opened his mouth when he saw that everyone was holding the utensils skeptically.


    Watching the Qiu family look at each other, Ling Mu understood their hesitation, so he lowered his head and scooped the congee and blew two mouthfuls before eating it without changing his face. Ling Dang, who likes drinking juice to start, downed the glass, before starting on the congee and side dishes.


    Seeing the two siblings eating happily, Qiu Zhang no longer hesitated and took a bite.


    ¡°What is this? It tastes strange!¡± Surprised, Qiu Zhang couldn¡¯t wait to take a second sip.


    Zhu Qin and Qiu Haolin also took a sip, and their taste buds were instantly hit by the sweet and glutinous taste.


    That breakfast, Qiu Zhang ate five bowls of porridge and three big buns in a row, Qiu Haolin also ate four bowls and two buns, and even Zhu Qin, who usually only eats a little for breakfast, ordered a second bowl of porridge, and finally had to give up on the second bun. Qiu Zhang had to deal with the remaining half, which stunned Qiu Zhenyang, and the Ling siblings.


    In short, the surprise that Qiu Zhenyang brought to the Qiu family this morning was great!


    ¡°Zhenyang, where did you get the recipes?¡± After eating, Qiu Haolin walked around the living room to digest and asked Qiu Zhenyang.


    He and his father were planning to go to the army after breakfast, but now they are stuffed, they both took a walk in the living room to digest the food.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows: ¡°Uh, I saw it in the library before and thought it was interesting, but then I couldn¡¯t find the book, and only remembered a little bit, so I figured the rest out myself. Who would¡¯ve thought it would taste good?¡±


    It was all lies, and fortunately Qiu Haolin was just asking casually. He nodded and said nothing more.


    Fifteen minutes later, Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin finally left to go to the army.


    ¡°The weather is good today. I¡¯ll take you to the garden to go for a walk and get some fresh air.¡± Qiu Zhenyang glanced at the weather outside and took the initiative to take Ling Mu and Ling Dang out.


    Ling Mu nodded and agreed, and was about to lead Ling Dang, when Zhu Qin immediately came over. ¡°Go ahead, I¡¯ll take Ling Dang to measure and try on some clothes. Children are growing and love dressing themselves nicely. They should fit and look nice, Ling Dang, do you want to buy clothes together with auntie?


    Ling Dang was pulled by Zhu Qin and looked back at her brother.


    ¡°Auntie, there¡¯s no need to bother you. Ling Dang has quite a few clothes, all of which are in school.¡± Ling Mu refused embarrassedly, but Zhu Qin was so enthusiastic that he couldn¡¯t resist.


    As someone who¡¯s a bit introverted and not good with words, he could pretend to be fierce and reject others with a cold expression in the past. But he can¡¯t show a bad face with Aunt Zhu caring for them so wholeheartedly.


    ¡°How¡¯s this bothersome? If it weren¡¯t for you not being able to get close to pheromones, I¡¯d also want to bring you too. I can take Ling Dang over first.¡± After speaking, before Ling Mu could make more excuses, Zhu Qin took Ling Dang¡¯s hand and left. Before going out, she turned around and gave her son a wink. ¡°Zhenyang, we¡¯re having lunch outside, remember to take Ling Mu to play~¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrow speechlessly.


    Although he was very happy that his mother had the consciousness to help him remove the lightbulb, he can¡¯t get close to Ling Mu at all right now! Can¡¯t do anything! Is there any difference between having a lightbulb or not?!


    Despite the mad complaints in his heart, Qiu Zhenyang was very happy to be alone with Ling Mu.


    The back garden is not very big, but the rockery, pond, flowers, and lush trees are well designed. There is also a large pavilion with retro lacquer carving in the center of the garden with tables and stone benches. The reclining chairs inside made the pavilion very suitable for enjoying the scenery of the garden. It also made Qiu Zhenyang feel more at home; after all, such retro styles are rare in the interstellar.


    ¡°How do you feel in my house?¡± Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu lay on two separate reclining chairs, with a stone table between them.


    Ling Mu squinted slightly and looked at the pond not far away, where a few golden fish were roaming comfortably.


    ¡°Uncle and auntie are very good, so is your brother.¡± These are Ling Mu¡¯s sincere words. He likes the atmosphere of Qiu¡¯s family very much, and he likes these lovely people even more.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled smugly. A big compliment to everyone in the Qiu family~


    ¡°Have you thought about what to do after graduation?¡± On his face, he could clearly see Ling Mu¡¯s long eyelashes blinking slowly, as if brushing against his heart.


    After thinking for a while, Ling Mu¡¯s eyes were a little confused: ¡°Not yet.¡±


    Study hard, work and save money, take Ling Dang out of his mother¡¯s grasp ¨C this was his goal before. To give Ling Dang the best life. He didn¡¯t have the luxury to consider other things before, so now that his goal1Ling Dang is already out of his mother¡¯s grasp was gone, he felt a little lost.


    ¡°Are you interested in live broadcasting?¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Ling Mu turned to look at him suspiciously.


    Qiu Zhenyang explained: ¡°I¡¯m going to make a mecha-type game, and start a live broadcast business at the same time. I want to invite you to be an anchor.¡±


    Although Ling Mu has never been in contact with games and live broadcasting, he has at least heard of it. Qiu Zhenyang inviting him to be an anchor¡­ Ling Mu raised his eyebrows. ¡°No omegas do this today.¡±


    Ling Mu said this a bit euphemistically. In the entire interstellar, there are many things omegas don¡¯t do, and live broadcasting games is one of them.


    In fact, at the beginning, it was not that there were no omega live broadcasts. Omega players also accounted for a large proportion of in-game players. It¡¯s just that most omega anchors have poor technical skills and low psychological quality. They only cry when they encounter troubles, which annoyed beta and alpha viewers, causing the live broadcast room to be full of curses.


    Over time, a bad phenomenon has formed, that is, once omega starts a live broadcast, someone will hear the news and malicious attack them. In the end, even omegas with good skills are scolded until they retire. No one can persevere in such an environment.


    ¡°If you are referring to alpha and beta conflict with omegas, I have a solution.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes gradually deepened.


    The contradiction between alphas, betas, and omegas is largely due to the inaction of game developers. Although they can simulate interstellar combat, there is no hierarchy among players. All games use random matching, and character selection is also random, which makes the game quite unreasonable.


    For example, the popular ¡°Spark¡± game. A game can last from one hour to three hours. After the player enters the game cabin and logs into the game, the system will automatically assign them to a game field. After entering the field, players will be randomly assigned to roles such as ¡°Warrior¡±, ¡°Enemy Leader¡±, and ¡°Interstellar Commander¡±.


    But the role and operational difficulty of these roles vary significantly. Let alone omegas, even some alphas are not able to adapt to all characters. Genders are also certified, so no one can hide their gender, so when omegas are assigned roles they are not capable of, they will inevitably be reviled by their teammates, and with their lower psychological quality¡­ Even without scolding, the results were predictable.


    Thus, let alone live broadcasts, many omegas don¡¯t even dare to play games, for fear of being scolded.


    Game makers didn¡¯t care about this problem at all; they only wanted to make money. Unwilling to offend the largest player group, alphas and betas, they let this contradiction ferment, resulting in the current situation.


    ¡°What are you planning?¡± Ling Mu looked at Qiu Zhenyang curiously. The conflict between genders is not a matter of a year or two. This is something that¡¯s lasted since the beginning of the game industry until now. What solution can Qiu Zhenyang come up with??


    However, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t answer. He only showed him a wide grin, closed his eyes, and hummed in a good mood.


    Of course there are ways to solve the problem, but wouldn¡¯t it be boring to say it in advance? He still has to use this game to coax Ling Mu to be happy, so he can¡¯t give away the bottom line first~


    Ling Mu snorted angrily when he didn¡¯t get a reply, and simply closed his eyes and ignored him.


    Under the shade of the trees, a warm breeze lingered. It was rare to spend the day so leisurely without the need for classes or work. Ling Mu comfortably breathed the faint fragrance of flowers, and felt at ease.


    His eyelids gradually closed, and he was about to fall asleep comfortably when Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s abrupt words woke him up.


    ¡°Xiao Mumu, where do you think it¡¯s better to have our wedding when we get married?¡±


    ¡°What are you thinking, Qiu Zhenyang? Is your brain fried?¡±


    ¡°Hehehe~¡±


    Anyone feel like QZY¡¯s brain has become more deficient?

 CH 49

    The two fell asleep in the pavilion just like that. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet, and no one came to disturb them. They slept directly until lunch time.


    Qiu Zhenyang was woken up by a delicate voice shouting. When he woke up, Ling Mu had already sat up in a daze and looked at him with a dull expression.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart itched seeing the cute appearance. He wished he would go over and hug someone and kiss him hard, but¡­ alas, for the sake of his wife¡¯s body, bear with it!


    Qiu Zhenyang rubbed his face, got up and walked out of the pavilion to look in the direction of the noise, and after a while, he saw a thin figure appearing in the corner.


    ¡°Brother Yang!¡± Le Jin¡¯s beautiful eyes, like glass, radiated the moment he saw Qiu Zhenyang. He was wearing a small white suit, his soft blond hair was fluffy and dazzling, elegant and noble like a prince.


    Ling Mu rubbed his eyes, his misty eyes gradually became clearer as Le Jin approached, until he watched the boy slam into Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s body, hugging his thin and strong waist tightly.


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­¡± Hehe.


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°?!¡± My wife is here, what do you want, you dead goblin!


    Qiu Zhenyang pushed the young man away almost immediately. If he had expected such a divine development, he would definitely not have asked this person to touch him!


    ¡°Brother Yang?¡± Le Jin looked up at him suspiciously, his eyes a little hurt, ¡°Brother Yang, don¡¯t you remember me? Even if we haven¡¯t seen each other for three years, how can you forget me¡­¡±


    Looking at the boy with such sad eyes, Qiu Zhenyang felt the hair all over his body rise, and quickly recalled the information about this face in the original body¡¯s memory.


    Le Jin is the original childhood friend of the original body who attended elementary school on the planet where his grandparents lived. At that time, he had the best relationship with Le Jin, and the two were almost inseparable. Later, the original body returned to the capital star to go to junior high. Je kept in touch with Le Jin until after high school, when the original body began to waver, and then gradually disconnected.


    Of course, this disconnection was unilateral. In fact, Le Jin has always sent messages to the original body, but it was blocked by the original body.


    Thinking about it this way, the original body is really a scumbag.


    ¡°Ah no, I didn¡¯t forget, you are Le Jin, aren¡¯t you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang backed away some distance and glanced at Ling Mu with a guilty conscience. He didn¡¯t know what to do. Maybe it was because the boy liked the original body, which made him feel uncomfortable.


    ¡°Brother Yang, you are so nice. I haven¡¯t seen you for three years. I really missed you, and I wanted to come to you every moment.¡± Le Jin¡¯s eyes are the best part of the body. As long as one looks into those affectionate eyes, they will be firmly trapped, and unable to extricate themselves.


    But obviously, except for Qiu Zhenyang.


    The only thing he noticed was Ling Mu¡¯s deathly gaze comparable to laser rays. Who cares about Le what Le, Jin what Jin, it¡¯s all space junk, okay!


    ¡°Come if you want. I¡¯ve treated you as a younger brother since I was a child, and I will take care of you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang deliberately made his attitude clear. Ignoring Le Jin¡¯s dim eyes, he turned his head to introduce him to Ling Mu, ¡°This is Le Jin. When I was in elementary school, I went to school on the planet where my grandparents lived, and Le Jin was my playmate, just like my younger brother.¡±


    Then he introduced Ling Mu as if showing off: ¡°This is Ling Mu, my partner.¡±


    When the word ¡°partner¡± came out, Le Jin¡¯s face notably stiffened.


    ¡°Brother Yang¡¯s taste has changed a lot. Who would have thought that you liked Xiao Jin when you were young and wanted to marry me when you grew up.¡± Le Jin said this jokingly, but no one in the room thought that funny.


    Ling Mu, who wore a cold face, didn¡¯t speak. He really had nothing to say.


    It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t know what kind of ¡®virtue¡¯ Qiu Zhenyang had in the past. Those glorious deeds of him chasing Cheng An¡¯an had spread throughout the capital.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression immediately fell, and a bit of annoyance entered his tone: ¡°Didn¡¯t I already say he¡¯s my partner? Do you need to reveal those things said when we were kids?¡±


    This guy must be intentional!!! Does he think it¡¯s not hard enough for him to chase his wife by saying such things in front of his face?


    Le Jin didn¡¯t expect Qiu Zhenyang to treat him like that. He was taken aback, and immediately apologized: ¡°I¡¯m sorry Brother Yang, I didn¡¯t mean it, I just¡­ I miss the days when we were young. It¡¯s just a joke, Brother Ling Mu won¡¯t mind, right?¡±


    After that, he immediately looked at Ling Mu as if asking for help, and made an apologetic expression.


    Ling Mu frowned: ¡°Why are you calling me brother, I¡¯m not familiar with you.¡±


    Le Jin: ¡°¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡± His wife hit him in the face, wonderful!


    Holding back his smile, Qiu Zhenyang coughed and asked Le Jin: ¡°Are you here with your grandparents? Are they in the living room?¡±


    Le Jin shook his head: ¡°Grandpa and grandma are getting old and are on a slow starship. I was on a faster one, so I arrived a day earlier.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang nodded, then looked down at the terminal, and found that it was almost a little over one now, so he quickly asked Ling Mu, ¡°Lunch time has passed, are you hungry now? Thirsty? If so, I¡¯ll go make food. It¡¯ll be ready soon.¡±


    Ling Mu nodded. ¡°A little bit.¡±


    ¡°Okay, go to the living room for a while. Eat some fruit to cushion your stomach. Le Jin, you should go back and sit, too. You¡¯re tired, so take a break.¡± As Qiu Zhenyang said, he was about to go to the villa.


    ¡°Call me when you¡¯re done, I¡¯ll walk around a bit.¡± Ling Mu didn¡¯t want to go back and stare at Le Jin, so he might as well take a walk in the garden.


    Who would have thought that Le Jin would say: ¡°Then I¡¯ll accompany Brother Ling Mu¡­ and walk around with Ling Mu. It just so happens that I don¡¯t know much about Brother Yang¡¯s house, and Ling Mu can take me around.¡±


    Ling Mu looked at him blankly. ¡°I¡¯m not familiar with this place.¡±


    ¡°¡­Er, it¡¯s okay, just walk around.¡± Although he was unhappy being tripped up, Le Jin was still a little happy hearing Ling Mu say that he was not familiar with the Qiu family home.


    Qiu Zhenyang felt his head swell and looked at Ling Mu to ask his opinion.


    On the whole, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s performance was acceptable. Ling Mu was in a good mood, so he said to him mercifully, ¡°Go ahead and cook, and just call me when you¡¯re done.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang nodded in response. After mentioning to Le Jin that Ling Mu is sensitive to pheromones, and telling him not to get close, he turned and left.


    Looking at the back of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s departure, Le Jin¡¯s mouth curved into a smile. ¡°Brother Yang is a very caring person, right? He often took care of me when I was young. Brother Yang¡­¡±


    Le Jin said and turned around, only to find that Ling Mu had already walked towards the pond.


    He pursed his lips and his eyes darkened instantly. Eyebrows furrowing slightly, he took a deep breath, and followed.


    Seeing Ling Mu stop by the pond, Le Jin stopped two meters away from him, also looking at the scenery of the pond. Ling Mu thought he was annoying, but there was no other place to go, so he could only endure his anger and ignore him.


    But him bearing it is not the same as wanting to know the other party.


    Determined to make Ling Mu unhappy, Le Jia spoke again after a while: ¡°Ling Mu, can I ask how you and Brother Yang met?¡± It¡¯s not a secret after all. Le Jin, who had been following Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s news, was very clear about it. He simply brought it up because he wanted to remind Ling Mu that he was abandoned by Qiu Zhenyang once before.


    Ling Mu impatiently picked up a stone by the pond, closed his right eye to estimate the distance, slightly raised his right hand and slanted it into the pond.


    The stones splashed on the pool surface and jumped several times.


    ¡°Amazing.¡± Le Jin praised, not caring that Ling Mu ignored him, and continued, ¡°Brother Yang used to like skipping rocks very much, and he was the most powerful among us children.¡±


    Ling Mu closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and turned to look over. ¡°Are you finished yet?¡±


    Le Jin¡¯s smile did not change. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, I¡¯m just telling you interesting things about Brother Yang when he was a child. As his partner, isn¡¯t it good to learn more about his past?¡±


    Ling Mu snorted coldly, ¡°I will ask him what I want to know, I don¡¯t need you to tell me.¡±


    ¡°It seems that you are very interested, ah.¡± Le Jin smiled and rolled his eyes. ¡°However, when you associate with someone like Brother Yang, you will meet many rivals in the future. If you can¡¯t even handle these small scenes, what qualifications do you have to stand by his side?¡±


    At the end, the smile on Le Jin¡¯s face gradually disappeared, leaving only sarcasm and disdain.


    He¡¯s been consciously cultivating himself since falling in love with Qiu Zhenyang as a child. His appearance, temperament, knowledge, and conversation, all of which he demanded himself to meet extremely high standards. He knew that Qiu Zhenyang was popular, it was inevitable, but even if there were as many rivals as the stars, he was still confident that he could defeat all enemies.


    A mere¡­ a little thorn who looks fierce and ugly, how could he compare?


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, you have the qualifications to talk about love and shit?¡± Ling Mu really couldn¡¯t stand this person. Rolling his eyes, he headed back the same way he came.


    Just after walking a few steps, the soles of his feet stepped on something. He looked down and saw that it was a crystal brooch in the shape of a sun, shining in the sun and obviously valuable. No one in the Qiu family wears a brooch, so this thing should belong to Le Jin.


    Having picked it up, although he doesn¡¯t like this person, he can¡¯t just throw it away. Ling Mu turned around, raised the brooch in his hand, and was about to speak when he saw Le Jin staring at the thing in his hands with disgust. ¡°Don¡¯t touch my things with your dirty hands! That¡¯s what Brother Yang gave me. You¡¯re not allowed to touch!¡±


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­¡±


    Oh, okay.


    Raising his hand with a smirk, it made an arc back in the air, and landed in the pond with a small ¡®plop¡¯.


    Le Jin: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll wash it for you. Satisfied?¡± The corners of Ling Mu¡¯s mouth curled as he said lightly, ¡°But please go and pick it up yourself, so that I won¡¯t contaminate your things again, hehe.¡±


    With a disdainful laugh, Ling Mu turned his head, and left with a cold air.


    Looking at his arrogant back, Le Jin was so angry that his blonde hair seemed to pale.


    ¡°What kind of thing are you? You¡¯re just a piece of trash from nowhere. Acting so arrogant in front of me? The Qiu family can¡¯t tolerate a vulgar person like you!¡±


    That ¡°childhood friend¡± from the LN synopsis appears!

    Ling Mu walked fast and didn¡¯t hear Le Jin scolding him behind his back.


    After arriving in the villa, he went directly to the kitchen to help Qiu Zhenyang make lunch together.


    ¡°Hey, hey, don¡¯t come in!¡± Qiu Zhenyang was frying steaks when he saw Ling Mu¡¯s figure from the corner of his eyes, and immediately turned nervously to stop him.


    Ling Mu raised his eyebrows: ¡°Why?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang said angrily: ¡°Don¡¯t you remember that your health is not yet healthy? The kitchen space is so small, what if you get too close to me and feel uncomfortable?¡±


    He is now wholeheartedly thinking about Ling Mu¡¯s body!


    Glancing at the space in the kitchen, Ling Mu walked to the sink without a word, and lowered his head to wash the dishes. ¡°The space here is quite large, and the windows are open, so there is no need to be so careful. You keep busy first, I¡¯ll help you wash the dishes in the sink first and then go out.¡±


    Anyway, he¡¯s idle and has nothing to do. If he goes out, he might run into that pesky person again, so he might as well stay in the kitchen for a while.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at him from a distance, and asked tentatively, ¡°Did Le Jin offend you? Mumu, don¡¯t worry, my feelings for you are genuine and witnessed by the heavens! He means nothing to me; even in the past, I only treated him as a younger brother! Besides, we haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time, and I didn¡¯t even know about him coming here this time!¡±


    He really hated the original protagonist¡¯s setting right now. What heartthrob? He hates it the most, okay? He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn¡¯t hold Ling Mu to coax him either. He was really anxious!


    Ling Mu felt amused when he heard a lot of broken thoughts.


    It¡¯s just a Le Jin, no big deal.


    However, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s introspective attitude is also good, making him quite satisfied.


    ¡°Okay, do your cooking.¡± Ling Mu carefully washed the dishes, stacked them up, and organized them neatly on the counter. He¡¯s not good with knives, and can¡¯t help much with cooking, so it¡¯s better to go out and sit and wait.


    As soon as Ling Mu sat down on the sofa, Qiu Zhenyang brought out a plate of fruit and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.


    ¡°You eat some fruit first, lunch will be ready soon.¡±


    ¡°En.¡±


    Watching Qiu Zhenyang return to the kitchen, Ling Mu forked a piece of fruit into his mouth.


    Sweet juice burst in his mouth, sliding down his throat, satisfying and refreshing.


    He felt that he had changed a lot and became more naturally able to accept everything Qiu Zhenyang gave him. Ling Mu slowly realized that it seemed that Qiu Zhenyang had taken care of many things since the beginning of school and they lived in the same dormitory.


    Although he said that he would use labor1e.g., housework; etc. to pay for rent, after living together, Qiu Zhenyang did many things silently.


    Just take the milk tea shop. Qiu Zhenyang hired him as the only employee from start to finish at such a popular shop, and paid him a high salary despite the fact that robots did most of the meal deliveries.


    One by one, everything is being subtly changed by this boy.


    He has always been taking care of himself and Ling Dang.


    Ling Mu¡¯s movement of chewing became slower and slower. When the last piece of fruit in his mouth was swallowed, Ling Mu licked his juice-soaked lips and got up and walked towards the kitchen.


    Eyes fixed on the pan, Qiu Zhenyang hummed a song as the schnitzel was finally cooked.


    Ling Mu leaned against the door with his arms folded and his eyes moved to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s back. He thought about it and said, ¡°Qiu Zhen¡­¡±


    ¡°Brother Yang, what are you doing in there? It smells so good!¡±


    Interrupted, Ling Mu frowned and looked at the person behind him unhappily.


    As soon as Qiu Zhenyang heard Ling Mu¡¯s voice, he turned to look back, but he didn¡¯t hear anything more, so he ignored Le Jin and said to Ling Mu, ¡°What did you say to me just now?¡±


    Le Jin smiled and squinted at Ling Mu, who was disgusted and turned and walked to the living room with an irritable ¡°tsk¡±. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, go cook.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang felt a little nervous. It was over, Ling Mu was unhappy.


    ¡°Brother Yang, what are you making? It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve smelled such a good smell!¡± As soon as Ling Mu left, Le Jin immediately went into the kitchen and leaned over to see what Qiu Zhenyang was making in the pot. ¡°Brother Yang, do you really know how to cook? I thought that what you said about cooking was just to tell the chef what to make. When did you learn to cook?¡±


    Knowing that Xiao Mumu was unhappy, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mood fell and he replied indifferently, ¡°Not long ago.¡±


    Le Jin moved closer to him, with his arm next to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s. He deliberately released some pheromones, and the sweet smell immediately covered the scent of the fried pork chop.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand paused, moving away seamlessly. He leaned over and opened all the half-opened windows, and turned his head to ask Le Jin, ¡°Do you smell something smelly?¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Le Jin was stunned, and opened his mouth in embarrassment.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you smell it? The smell is quite strong, smoky.¡± After speaking, Qiu Zhenyang made a disgusted expression, raised his hand and waved the air in front of him.


    Le Jin didn¡¯t know how to react for a while, and Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t wait for him to react before exclaiming, ¡°Ah, it¡¯s over, the steak seems to be a little overcooked¡­¡±


    He hurriedly brought the plates over, interrupting Le Jin before he could speak. In the end, he could only watch Qiu Zhenyang take out two plates of fried pork unwillingly.


    ¡°Baby, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± Qiu Zhenyang brought the plate to the table and called Ling Mu over.


    Ling Mu has always disliked this greasy and crooked name. But as soon as he frowned, he saw Le Jin, who came out behind Qiu Zhenyang, wearing a shit-eating expression on his face. Ling Mu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that this title was not so annoying anymore.


    Qiu Zhenyang put the schnitzel down Ling Mu on one side, and walked to the farthest spot on the other side and sat down.


    Le Jin came over again at this moment. Seeing that Ling Mu and Qiu Zhenyang had already started eating, he bit his lower lip and said, ¡°Brother Yang, didn¡¯t you prepare my share?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his head and looked at him. ¡°Have you not eaten? I thought you ate before you came here. What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll ask the chef to make it for you.¡±


    Ling Mu chewed the tender schnitzel and looked at Le Jin, wondering what tricks he wanted to pull.


    ¡°But I want, I want to eat what Brother Yang made¡­¡± Le Jin¡¯s eyes landed on the schnitzel on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s plate with an envious expression. ¡°What Brother Yang makes looks delicious and smells good.¡±


    Ling Mu rolled his eyes, lowered his head and continued to eat.


    Qiu Zhenyang was annoyed. He wanted to give this guy face, but how can someone be so shameless? It seems that he has to find a time to make things clear with this guy, so he won¡¯t obstruct him and Ling Mu all the time randomly.


    ¡°Cooking is very troublesome, and I¡¯m too hungry and don¡¯t have the energy. You can just eat whatever you want.¡± Qiu Zhenyang beckoned the housekeeper to come over and asked Le Jin to tell him what he wanted to eat.


    How can an alpha have no energy because he¡¯s hungry? Qiu Zhenyang was completely rejecting him. Le Jin almost clenched his silver teeth, and even the housekeeper asked him three times in a row before he heard the question.


    In fact, he had already eaten, but he only made such a request because he saw Qiu Zhenyang personally cooking for Ling Mu, and felt jealous and resentful.


    But he did not expect such a merciless refusal from Qiu Zhenyang!


    Le Jin knew that his abrupt reunion wouldn¡¯t go well, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be so difficult. He underestimated how much Qiu Zhenyang cared about that guy and overestimated his influence on Qiu Zhenyang. Childhood friendship is only in childhood after all.


    But even so, he didn¡¯t want to give up!


    ¡°That¡¯s it, please.¡± He naturally showed a generous and decent appearance. Whether it was sitting down or standing, he calculated all aspects of his demeanor well in order to integrate into the Qiu family and become the envy of everyone.


    Nauseated, Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly lowered his head to eat his own meal.


    When Le Jin¡¯s meal came, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu just finished eating.


    The two got up and walked to the living room. Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t forget to turn around and instructed: ¡°You eat slowly, let¡¯s go out for a walk to digest.¡±


    ¡°Ah Brother Yang!¡±


    Le Jin was left behind.


    So what if you come here, can¡¯t we leave?


    The two walked on the path, slowly and leisurely.


    The Qiu family¡¯s villa is located in a high-end community. The environment is beautiful and quiet. Even just walking in the community is very comfortable.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go to the army like Lieutenant General Qiu Haolin?¡± Ling Mu asked casually while looking at their surroundings.


    When Qiu Haolin was about sixteen years old, he went to the army with Qiu Zhang and began to systematically learn mecha combat. But Qiu Zhenyang did not continue the family tradition, but went to school like other children.


    Qiu Zhenyang put his hands in his pockets, matched Ling Mu¡¯s footsteps, and looked up at the sky. ¡°Because I didn¡¯t like mechas very much before. Mecha combat requires mental control, so although my mental power is S-level and stronger than others, I¡¯m also more prone to riots. My parents didn¡¯t allow me to join the army.¡±


    Top alphas generally have very strong mental strength, but in cases where the mental strength is too strong, like Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s case, it can also lead to more restrictions.


    Ling Mu turned to look at him, somewhat surprised.


    It was his first time hearing about such things. Although it was not a secret, ordinary people can¡¯t get in touch with these things, and the military won¡¯t spread such news widely, so the outside world knows very little about it.


    But Qiu Zhenyang was born in a military family, and is very clear about these things.


    ¡°Since you don¡¯t like mechas, why do you want to make a game?¡± Ling Mu asked in confusion, thinking of the mecha game Qiu Zhenyang mentioned earlier. According to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s situation, even if he opens a restaurant chain, he will make more money than the game, right?


    The milk tea shop business in the school is really hot.


    Although they weren¡¯t at school these few days, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu helped them with the shop.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t like it before, but it¡¯s different now.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took out two pieces of candy from his pocket, and threw one at Ling Mu.


    The latter caught it with quick eyes and hands, took off the wrapper and threw it into his mouth.


    ¡°Because my partner likes it, I want to create the best environment for him so that he can realize his true value.¡±


    The sweet taste melted in his mouth, Ling Mu turned his head to look over, and met Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s smiling eyes.


    ¡°The future you can¡¯t see clearly, I will help you shine the way.¡±


    Last of the batch updates for AAPCFO. Now I gotta go and replenish the stocked chapters. Phew.

 CH 51

    In order to avoid facing Le Jin when they got back, Qiu Zhenyang decided to take Ling Mu to a fun place in the afternoon.


    ¡°Are you joking with me?¡±


    Looking at the towering Mecha Building in front of him, Ling Mu felt that the sun above his head was dazzling him.


    ¡°What joke? Don¡¯t you like mechas? I brought you here to see them. Besides, the classes at school are too slow in order to accommodate everyone, and the venue isn¡¯t big enough. I can teach you more. Don¡¯t you want to use such a ready-made place to practice?¡±


    Ling Mu looked at him with a strange expression. Naturally he wanted to, but the problem is¡­ You need permission to enter the mecha building. Less than one percent of the population across the entire Capital Star can enter!


    Qiu Zhenyang definitely has access rights, but the problem is that he doesn¡¯t.


    Qiu Zhenyang knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression. Smiling, he opened the terminal on his wrist, and called up his identity verification: ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you in.¡±


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Ling Mu asked once more, full of uncertainty. Even if Qiu Zhenyang is here, will he be able to enter without permission?


    But Qiu Zhenyang had already walked to the security check booth at the gate. Ling Mu gritted his teeth and could only keep up first. Anyway, if he couldn¡¯t get in later, he would leave.


    The atmosphere of the security booth was serious, with armed forces staring at them. Qiu Zhenyang took the lead in swiping his own terminal which passed. Immediately, security personnel eagerly stepped forward to lead the way. Qiu Zhenyang politely refused, standing behind the security check booth, waiting for Ling Mu.


    Ling Mu bit the bullet and called out his identity information. He couldn¡¯t bear to look directly, and handed it to the security inspector.


    ¡°Marshal Qiu Zhang personally authorized your pass. Mr. Ling Mu, please come in.¡± A smile appeared on the face of the security inspector.


    Ling Mu had a great sense of unreality as he followed Qiu Zhenyang inside.


    He actually, really entered the Mecha Building!


    He¡¯s longed to come here since he was a child!


    ¡°Thankfully the person checking is a beta, otherwise I would definitely have to go up and request a beta check your identity.¡± Qiu Zhenyang looked around, on the lookout for alphas or omegas lest they get too near and cause Ling Mu discomfort. However, there were not many people in the Mecha Building. After all, very few people had this authority, and those who had the authority to enter and were interested in them were only a few, so Qiu Zhenyang brought Ling Mu inside smoothly.


    Ling Mu followed Qiu Zhenyang in. Remembering what he heard, he turned his head to look at him: ¡°What¡¯s the matter with the marshal¡¯s authorization?¡±


    He hadn¡¯t heard Qiu Zhenyang mention this at all. Doesn¡¯t this kind of authorization take time to get approval for?


    Qiu Zhenyang shrugged indifferently. ¡°Oh, I called my dad when we were in the hospital and asked him to prepare it.¡±


    ¡°You wanted to bring me here so soon?¡±


    The young man smiled. ¡°I planned to take you home a long time ago.¡±


    He made the decision to take Ling Mu back to Qiu¡¯s family to raise his body from the beginning, and had even roughly planned the following arrangements. Considering that it was Ling Mu¡¯s first time visiting, he might be a little uncomfortable, so Qiu Zhenyang decided to start from his favorite place and take him to experience the charm of a mecha.


    ¡°Young master, long time no see.¡± As he was speaking, a middle-aged man in a suit walked towards him.


    A smiling and polite beta, full of goodwill towards them.


    ¡°Hi Uncle Ming.¡± Qiu Zhenyang raised his hand to greet him, and said, ¡°This is the Ling Mu I mentioned to you before.¡±


    ¡°Hello, my name is Shao Ming. You can just call me Uncle Ming like the young master.¡± Shao Ming shook hands with Ling Mu, who nodded and called Uncle Ming, then pursed his lips and looked at Qiu Zhenyang .


    ¡°Uncle Ming is our guide here. I contacted him first before we came. He knows this place very well, and there is no place he is unfamiliar with. It¡¯s best to find him if we want to practice mechas.¡±


    The original owner¡¯s mecha skills were taught by Shao Ming. As a retired soldier, Shao Ming is not only an excellent mecha operator, he was also one of Qiu Zhang¡¯s personal guards, so he did his best to teach Qiu Zhenyang.


    After listening to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s introduction, Ling Mu¡¯s expression became more serious, and he nodded solemnly.


    Seeing his ready appearance, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. He turned to Shao Ming and said, ¡°Uncle Ming, help us arrange an interstellar battle room. We want that kind of double mecha room to experience the charm of interstellar combat.¡±


    Shao Ming led the way with a smile. ¡°I used to urge you to come here to practice, but you were unwilling. Sometimes the marshal had to bring you in person in order to make you practice. It¡¯s only been a while and you¡¯re suddenly so interested in mechas, how come?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang looked relaxed and laughed wantonly. ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I¡¯ve grown up and realized how hard you guys worked, so I started getting conscious.¡±


    Shao Ming was amused and shook his head. ¡°I believe anyone if they say this, but I don¡¯t believe you! I know what you were like before. Making you realize the painstaking efforts of others is harder than making the sun come out from the west!¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s mouth twitched, and he gave Qiu Zhenyang a teasing look.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face wrinkled upon seeing his wife look at him with such eyes. ¡°Uncle Ming, don¡¯t curse me. My partner is here, save me some face!¡±


    ¡°Your partner?¡± Shao Ming turned around with a look of surprise. He was obviously not too young, but he was quite energetic when it came to gossip, ¡°Young master, you really can! Tell me, how long have you two been together, how far have you gone? What¡¯s happened? Seven times a night yet?¡±


    ¡°Cough cough!¡± Ling Mu almost choked to death on his own saliva, his face flushed red.


    Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly shoved Shao Ming. ¡°Uncle Ming, can you watch your mouth? What¡¯s this all about! We haven¡¯t, we haven¡¯t done that yet¡­¡±


    He quietly glanced at Ling Mu, whose face turned even darker.


    ¡°Hahaha!¡± Shao Ming broke down for a while, and his bold laughter echoed in the hall.


    It wasn¡¯t until they reached the interstellar battle room that Ling Mu¡¯s face finally returned to normal. On the walk over, each time Qiu Zhenyang looked over, Ling Mu glared at him with a sense of wanting to peel his skin and eat him alive.


    He¡¯s wrong! Those weren¡¯t his words. He¡¯s wronged to death.


    ¡°This room is relatively basic. Although you can use the advanced room with your strength, young master, considering it¡¯s Ling Mu¡¯s first time, it¡¯s better to start with the basics.¡± Shao Ming introduced them to the simulation room, as well as the attributes of the combat mecha. It was mainly for Ling Mu, as Qiu Zhenyang was already familiar with it.


    After the introduction, Shao Ming left first, leaving the room for the two of them.


    ¡°Come on, advanced mecha.¡± Qiu Zhenyang threw the key card to Ling Mu and got on one himself.


    After sitting in the mecha, Qiu Zhenyang turned on the simulation system. In an instant, the originally empty room turned into a vast cosmic starry sky. Planets lay suspended on the black canvas with sporadic aliens on the opposite side.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start with the easiest level first. Ling Mu, do you see the flight stick next to your joystick? Raise it a little to enter flight mode. Be careful to control the amplitude, don¡¯t move too much, and be careful of hitting the ceiling.¡± While explaining, Qiu Zhenyang he took the lead in flying. With his mecha legs off the ground, it really looked like he was flying in the universe.


    Ling Mu did as he was told, carefully raised the flight stick, and soon felt the mecha rise.


    Looking at his height above the ground on the display, Ling Mu fixed the flight stick, returned his right hand to the joystick, and finally let out a sigh of relief.


    The feeling of flying is so exciting!


    ¡°Mecha combat relies most on manual operations. Whether it is shooting or explosive attacks, accurate judgment and correct operations are required. Otherwise, these powerful weapons are just wasted. You can watch me operate first, and then try it yourself.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang clicked on the video call, and started the demonstration after Ling Mu accepted it.


    Looking at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s skillful gestures while sitting inside the mecha, Ling Mu felt that his whole body seemed to heat up.


    It was something called blood, passion, longing, impatience. His brain was fully excited.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mecha quickly broke into the aliens and began to fight with the aliens that automatically entered the combat state. Ling Mu stared tightly, not willing to blink.


    ¡°This kind of alien worm is not big, similar to ordinary mechas, with low attack, but fast speed and high defense. They¡¯re very suitable for beginners to train on.¡± Before speaking, Qiu Zhenyang had already dealt with an alien worm. ¡°Okay, The last one will be yours.¡±


    After dealing with the rest of the bugs, Qiu Zhenyang kept the last one and lured it towards Ling Mu.


    Taking a deep breath, Ling Mu rubbed his sweaty palms, and focused on controlling the mecha and stepped forward!


    Qiu Zhenyang had already taught him the basic operations in school, and now all his focus is devoted to using weapons.


    ¡°Tuk tuk tuk tuk!¡± The powerful machine gun shot past, but only one tenth of the bullets hit the alien, and all the rest of the bullets missed.


    ¡°I can¡¯t aim!¡± Ling Mu gritted his teeth, frowning tightly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush. You need to be calm to control your attacks and aim. Once you are too nervous and not focused enough, you will attack the wrong spot.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s voice turned severe as he watched Ling Mu¡¯s frantic operations. ¡°Stop attacking first, and speed up to get out of the alien worm¡¯s 10-meter attack range.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s stern words calmed Ling Mu¡¯s heart down. He took several deep breaths during the process of retreating, and his wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.


    ¡°Okay, turn around now, aim the machine gun, and fire!¡±


    Under Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s command, Ling Mu concentrated his attention, clamped his molars down, aimed at alien, and pressed fire.


    This time, all the bullets hit the alien worm. Its life drained quickly, and the image flashed twice before it shattered with a bang.


    ¡°Beautiful!¡± Qiu Zhenyang cheered, sending a thumbs up to Ling Mu over video, ¡°It¡¯s your first time in a mecha and you can kill an alien in such a short period of time, Mumu. You have a very strong talent for fighting!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s praise made Ling Mu¡¯s heart boil. He stared at the person on the other side of the screen, feeling his sincere congratulations, full of emotions pouring out, and a splendid smile not seen since his father passed blossomed.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    The young man on the screen smiled brighter than the sun. Qiu Zhenyang stared blankly, his adam¡¯s apple rolling up and down, feeling that his entire world lit up. Even his breathing was light, for fear that the scene in front of him would disappear.


    Turning the joystick in his hand, he flew towards Ling Mu. The latter saw the incoming mecha, but had no time to react, and could only watch Qiu Zhenyang collide with him.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    The two mechas collided, forming a hug. Although Qiu Zhenyang controlled his strength, Ling Mu, who was in the cockpit, was shocked speechless.


    ¡°I want to hug you, but can¡¯t in-person. I can only hug you with a mecha~¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang put his face on the screen with his hands on his cheeks, smiling until his eyes vanished.


    Ling Mu laughed and shook his head helplessly, but the hand on the joystick did not move.


    The two mechas embraced happily in the vast cosmic background. The picture was weird, but it was full of warmth.


    Hugging in a mecha in the midst of battle¡­ Only QZY could think of something like that.

 CH 52

    When they came out of the Mecha Building, it was already four o¡¯clock in the afternoon.


    Qiu Zhenyang tossed the water bottle he just bought to Ling Mu, and the two continued to walk back along the road. Qiu¡¯s house is not far from the Mecha Building, it takes about twenty minutes to walk over.


    ¡°Are you happy?¡± Qiu Zhenyang unscrewed the cap and glanced at Ling Mu.


    ¡°En.¡± Ling Mu nodded without hesitation, and then asked, ¡°Can I come again tomorrow?¡±


    He really likes mechas, and likes the feeling of blood boiling in battle!


    Qiu Zhenyang pretended to think for a moment, then shook his head in embarrassment. ¡°No, my grandfather and grandmother will arrive tomorrow. I have to chat and talk with them. We can¡¯t leave them at home and come out ourselves.¡±


    Seeing disappointment written all over Ling Mu¡¯s face, Qiu Zhenyang let out a laugh: ¡°Not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow. Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely accompany you here before returning to school.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s disappointment disappeared immediately with the promise. On the way back, he kept asking Qiu Zhenyang about mecha fighting, wanting to learn more fighting skills from him.


    When the two got home, Zhu Qin had already brought Ling Dang home.


    Ling Dang was wearing a pink tutu skirt, and her hair also styled at the barbershop. After everything, her already sweet and beautiful face was just like a little princess, so cute. Zhu Qin was reluctant to put her down from her arms.


    ¡°Brother! Aunt Qin bought me a small skirt, take a good look!¡± Ling Dang happily wanted to show Ling Mu her little skirt. Zhu Qin could only put her down reluctantly, with a motherly smile on her face.


    God knows how much she wanted a daughter! The two boys she gave birth to were cute when they were young, but as they got a little older, they stopped acting like spoiled children, leaving Zhu Qin¡¯s overflowing maternal love with nowhere to go. Now that there is such a cute little girl like Ling Dang, she can¡¯t help but like her!


    Anyway, Ling Mu will be part of the Qiu family in the future, and Ling Dang will be her daughter!


    ¡°Where did you two go this afternoon? Ling Mu¡¯s body is not yet healthy. Don¡¯t ignore it, Zhenyang.¡± Zhu Qin said, looking at her son dissatisfied.


    Qiu Zhenyang was wronged. ¡°Mom, if there¡¯s anyone worried about Ling Mu, I can only rank number one! Even when taking him out, I was very careful, and I never let anyone get close to him!¡±


    Zhu Qin looked suspiciously at Ling Mu for proof. ¡°He really did this?¡±


    ¡°Uh, yes.¡±


    With Ling Mu¡¯s testimony, Qiu Zhenyang immediately became arrogant: ¡°Look Mom! How can I not care for my partner? I¡­¡±


    Before he finished speaking, a person ran downstairs and interrupted Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words directly: ¡°Brother Yang! Brother Yang! Where did you go in the afternoon? Didn¡¯t you say you were just going for a walk? Why weren¡¯t you back for so long? I was dying of anxiety when I couldn¡¯t reach you!¡±


    Le Jin ran to Qiu Zhenyang without anyone else, biting his lips and looking at him worriedly.


    Zhu Qin raised her eyebrows and stood silently. Ling Mu lowered his eyes, said a few words to Zhu Qin, and dragged Ling Mu upstairs.


    ¡°I went out after my walk, and you can¡¯t reach me¡­ Maybe I didn¡¯t hear the terminal ring.¡± Qiu Zhenyang watched Ling Mu go upstairs and wanted to catch up, but Le Jin blocked his way and prevented him from going. By then, Ling Mu had already brought Ling Dang to the second floor, and soon the sound of a door shutting rang out.


    ¡°Brother Yang, no matter what, you should tell me. I was worried¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang felt inexplicable: ¡°I¡¯m already so old, and was just going out to play. What¡¯s there to worry about? My mother wasn¡¯t worried about me. I say, Le Jin, are you entering menopause early? That¡¯s not good, you are young, there must be a problem with entering menopause early, so go to the hospital tomorrow.¡±


    It was inevitable that Le Jin couldn¡¯t contact him. He hasn¡¯t pulled him out of the blacklist, so how could he receive messages?


    Zhu Qin came to an understanding in her heart as she listened to her son¡¯s nonsense. Seeing Le Jin¡¯s ashen face, she smiled and said: ¡°That¡¯s enough, Zhenyang, saying more is not going to make a difference. Go up and rest first. I¡¯ll call you down for dinner later.¡±


    ¡°Okay mom, then I¡¯ll go up first.¡± Like a gust of wind, Qiu Zhenyang flashed away quickly.


    Le Jin watched Qiu Zhenyang slip away unwillingly, and could only smile at Zhu Qin. ¡°Aunt Qin, thank you for arranging a room for me. I like it very much.¡±


    Zhu Qin smiled and waved her hand. ¡°Oh you child, you¡¯re welcome. Zhenyang was taken care of by you as a child when he lived with his grandparents. This is only natural.¡±


    As the mistress of the Qiu family, Zhu Qin pays great attention to etiquette. Although she can tell her son does not like him, since their family has come all the way and are guests, she must fulfill the responsibilities of being a host.


    ¡°Is there anything you want to eat tonight? I¡¯ll go tell the cook.¡±


    Le Jin said with a smile, ¡°No need to bother Aunt Qin, I¡¯m not a picky eater. You can just let the cook decide.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to be so polite, just treat it as your own home.¡± Zhu Qin greeted him and sat down in the living room, and the two chatted happily.


    Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin didn¡¯t come back for dinner. After all, they were very busy, and don¡¯t come back every day.


    At the dinner table, Le Jin constantly looked for topics, but Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t pay much attention to him, and it was Zhu Qin who was always replying to him. Everyone was buried in their own thoughts at mealtime, so the atmosphere wasn¡¯t very pleasant.


    Zhu Qin was used to going to bed early. After eating, she sat in the living room for a while and then went back to her room first.


    Qiu Zhenyang sat downstairs with Ling Mu and Ling Dang. Ling Dang watched cartoons every day, and the two were used to being together.


    ¡°Brother Yang, can you come out for a while, I have something to tell you.¡± Le Jin endured it for a long time, and now he finally has a chance, naturally he won¡¯t let it go.


    Qiu Zhenyang was a little unhappy. ¡°Talk here if there¡¯s anything. It¡¯s so hot outside and there are mosquitoes, why go outside.¡±


    Does Le Jin have no vision at all? Ling Mu is still here. Of course, it¡¯s another story if he did it on purpose.


    Qiu Zhenyang only felt that he had a rough road ahead. The original body¡¯s peach blossoms have become trials. Putting aside the original protagonist1Cheng An¡¯an, Lin Nuo of the Lin family has become a target for revenge, and the childhood bamboo horse2someone he grew up with and had a close relationship. Close to childhood sweetheart, without as strong of a romantic connotation is making chaos. Who knows how many more appear in the future. He is really tired of it!


    ¡°Sorry, Brother Yang, I just want you to help me find the brooch you gave me back then.¡± Le Jin glanced at Ling Mu, met the latter¡¯s cold gaze, and smiled. ¡°It fell in the garden earlier today, did Ling Mu also see it at the time?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, why does this involve Ling Mu?


    Facing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s suspicious gaze, Ling Mu said lightly, ¡°Oh, I threw it into the pond.¡±


    This plain and casual tone was as if he just threw the trash into the trash can.


    Qiu Zhenyang mouth couldn¡¯t help hooking up, silently giving Ling Mu a thumbs up where Le Jin couldn¡¯t see. As expected of his wife, very clever! However, although Ling Mu didn¡¯t suffer, Qiu Zhenyang had to be vigilant. Next time, Ling Mu must not stay with Le Jin for a prolonged period, otherwise who knows what this guy will do.


    Le Jin thought that Qiu Zhenyang would comfort him after Ling Mu confessed, but instead of accusing Ling Mu, the latter asked him: ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you ask someone to fish it in the afternoon? What are you asking me to do now? Go into the pond? Look for it in the dark and get bitten by mosquitoes?¡±


    Le Jin: ¡°¡­¡±


    He also wanted to fish it out this afternoon! But Qiu Zhenyang wasn¡¯t here, so it was pointless for him to ask someone to fish it out! His actions would be meaningless!


    Le Jin was extremely angry that Qiu Zhenyang was so far removed from what he was in childhood that he couldn¡¯t find an in at all! In recent years, at school on his home planet, he¡¯s always been the school¡¯s school flower. Don¡¯t know how many admirers he has. How could someone be so ignorant in front of him?


    Looking at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s serious questioning expression, Le Jin couldn¡¯t tell for a while whether he was really puzzled or deliberate.


    ¡°Brother Yang, you want me to go down by myself? Can¡¯t you just accompany me?¡±


    Le Jin was really aggrieved.


    He traveled all the way to the Capital Star to reconnect with Qiu Zhenyang, not to lose his temper with Qiu Zhenyang because of a Ling Mu!


    Qiu Zhenyang frowned at the cry. He wanted to leave this guy alone, but Le Jin had a good relationship with his grandparents. He was worried that this guy would speak nonsense in front of his grandparents. Although grandfather and grandmother love him very much, due to their face as elders, they definitely won¡¯t ignore Le Jin, lest they go back and say things to neighbors.


    Qiu Zhenyang was so annoyed that he stood up and said, ¡°Okay, then go out, I¡¯ll turn on the lights for you.¡±


    Seeing this, Le Jin quickly followed, and shot Ling Mu a provocative look.


    Qiu Zhenyang seemed to be aware of it, so he turned around and gave Ling Mu a wink and left a sentence: ¡°Remember to eat some fruit while watching TV with Ling Dang. I cut and put it in the refrigerator for you earlier. Remember to keep some for me when eating. I¡¯ll be right back.¡±


    Seeing the handsome face¡¯s distorted expression, Ling Mu frowned in disgust, and waved his hand to let him get out.


    On the way to the garden, Qiu Zhenyang also took the housekeeper with him. Poor Uncle Zhang was used as a tool by his young master. Qiu Zhenyang mainly wanted him to testify for himself. If Ling Mu was not happy, he can prove he didn¡¯t do anything!


    Walking to the pond without a word, Qiu Zhenyang asked the housekeeper to turn on the floating lamp in the garden, illuminating the entire pond.


    ¡°Okay, go search.¡± Qiu Zhenyang waved his hand. He didn¡¯t have any intention of going into the pond at all.


    Le Jin glanced at the housekeeper who was in the way, wanting to avoid him, but Qiu Zhenyang asked the housekeeper to watch over, so that Le Jin wouldn¡¯t drown.


    Seeing this, he understood that he couldn¡¯t hide from the housekeeper, so Le Jin could only bite the bullet and say, ¡°Brother Yang, please help me hold my clothes, it¡¯s not very convenient to go into the water.¡±


    He boldly took off his shirt. Underneath was a sleeveless vest, thin to almost sheer. Le Jin deliberately exuded some pheromones, trying to lure this top alpha with his pheromones once more.


    Qiu Zhenyang had a black line on his face and took a few steps back. ¡°Shit, you¡¯re really too coquettish, wearing such clothes and releasing pheromones in front of two alphas. It¡¯s not that I want to scold you, Le Jin, but you really need to go to the hospital to see what¡¯s wrong with you.¡±


    His words were a direct slap to Le Jin¡¯s face.


    He endured it again and again, and finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. Le Jin stood in front of Qiu Zhenyang with gritted teeth, and raised his head to ask, ¡°Brother Yang, why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang pinched his nose and handed back the clothes Le Jin stuffed at him. ¡°You didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡±


    He looked calm, but inside, he was screaming frantically: You are so wrong! Why did you come to find me! Why are you making my partner unhappy! Why do you keep pestering me? It¡¯s annoying!


    Le Jin chased after him: ¡°Why is Brother Yang so indifferent to me? You were very kind to me when you were young, and you even said that you wanted to marry me. Was it all my wishful thinking all these years?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang really felt that these cannon fodders all had overly low IQ, blindly liking the original body, and didn¡¯t even have any thoughts of their own.


    The original owner was so obvious, are you sure you don¡¯t understand what he means?


    Although he didn¡¯t remember what happened to Le Jin in the original text, the original body was already with Cheng An¡¯an at that time. Given how hard Le Jin chased the original body, his fate can be imagined!


    That is to say, the Ling Mu people of his family are kind-hearted and too lazy to deal with Le Jin.


    But Ling Mu doesn¡¯t care, making Qiu Zhenyang unable to relax anymore. Those rotten vegetables must be cleaned up one by one!


    ¡°Le Jin, I don¡¯t know what you thought over the years, but I can tell you for sure that I¡¯ve never romantically liked you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang spoke seriously as Uncle Zhang looked up awkwardly next to him, looking up to the sky, wanting to use the bathroom.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t then, I won¡¯t now, and I won¡¯t in the future. I already have Ling Mu. I have emphasized this matter to you many times. If you trouble us again, I will not be so polite.¡± When serious, Qiu Zhenyang can get quite scary. Even Ling Mu¡¯s heart will palpitate, not to mention Le Jin, whose face paled in fright.


    Qiu Zhenyang turned around and told the housekeeper, ¡°Uncle Zhang, please take Le Jin back to his room later, I¡¯ll go back first.¡±


    After that, he left indifferently.


    LJ: I lost my brooch this afternoon! Help me find it, please, QZY.


    LM: Oh, I threw it in the pond.


    QZY [internally]: That¡¯s my wife!

 CH 53

    When he returned to the living room, Ling Mu was bringing out the fruit plate from the kitchen. When he saw Qiu Zhenyang, the plate in his hand fell and shattered on the ground.


    ¡°Stay away from me!¡±


    Ling Mu raised his neckline and stepped back into the kitchen, frowning and raising his hand in resistance, as if to push something away.


    The smell made him uncomfortable. In addition to the discomfort, he also clearly noticed a pheromone coming from another omega. Based on the current situation, it must be Le Jin¡¯s.


    Qiu Zhenyang was worried, and then remembered the matter of Le Jin releasing pheromones in front of him. He immediately regretted it, and hurriedly stepped back, shouting anxiously at Ling Dang in the living room: ¡°Quick, see how your brother is doing!¡±


    Ling Dang immediately ran over, supported her brother who was about to collapse on the ground, and hurriedly asked, ¡°Brother, are you alright? Should Ling Dang help you go back to your room to rest?¡±


    There is no cure for the sequelae. Even the doctors are helpless.


    It can only be slowly healed by staying away from pheromones. Therefore, Ling Mu can only wait and adapt.


    ¡°Xiao Qing!¡± Qiu Zhenyang called out to Xiao Qing loudly. The latter was eating, and there were grains of rice hanging from the corners of her mouth as she responded. ¡°Hurry up and help Ling Mu to the room. You help me watch and see if the situation improves.¡±


    ¡°I know, young master.¡± Xiao Qing had quick hands and feet, and her strength was strong as she half supported Ling Mu back to the room.


    Qiu Zhenyang extremely regretted it now. Even if he was scolded by his grandparents for ignoring Le Jin, that outcome would be much better than the current situation!


    Thinking back to Ling Mu¡¯s dim and cold eyes before he headed upstairs, Qiu Zhenyang felt cold.


    Obviously Ling Mu believed him so much! As a result, he made a mess! He really betrayed Mumu¡¯s trust in him!


    In just a few minutes, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mind had already collapsed.


    He went to the kitchen with a gloomy face, picking and choosing fruit in the fridge, but he couldn¡¯t find anything that resembled durian. Then he went to the laundry room, but there was no such thing as a washboard. When he went to the study, he couldn¡¯t find a keyboard either.1there¡¯s a meme where someone kneels on a keyboard/durian/washboard ¨C aka something spiky to apologize and admit their faults


    ¡°God is going to kill me!¡± he wailed.


    After some tossing, he could only go to the door of Ling Mu¡¯s room in dismay and knock on the door.


    ¡°Mumu, how are you? Are you feeling better?¡±


    There was no response from the room.


    ¡°Mumu, I was wrong, he released the pheromones himself, I didn¡¯t have time to dodge.¡±


    The room was quiet.


    ¡°Mumu, I really didn¡¯t do anything. If you don¡¯t believe me, ask Uncle Zhang2raws said Zhang last chapter and Wang this chapter¡­ Kept it Zhang for consistency, but if Wang crops up, they¡¯re the same dude. Uncle Zhang was there, and he was watching!¡±


    The room was completely silent.


    Qiu Zhenyang wanted to cry but had no tears. Begging Ling Mu to respond again and again, he even started knocking on the door with his head.


    ¡°Tuk, Tuk, Tuk¡­¡±


    In the end, Ling Mu didn¡¯t come out, but Zhu Qin was bothered.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, are you calling a ghost! Your skin is itchy, isn¡¯t it?¡± Zhu Qin had a mask on her face and two cucumber slices in her hand staring angrily at Qiu Zhenyang who was standing a few rooms away in the corridor.


    Qiu Zhenyang suddenly felt even more uncomfortable. ¡°Mom, how can you treat me like this! Your daughter-in-law is angry with me. I have to coax him, what if he doesn¡¯t want me anymore?¡±


    ¡°Useless!¡± Zhu Qin rolled her eyes, and flashed into the room. After a while, she leaned out from the door and threw a tube of reagents to Qiu Zhenyang.


    The latter almost didn¡¯t catch it, and looked at his mother speechlessly. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m not hungry. I don¡¯t need you to give me nutritional supplements.¡±


    Zhu Qin was about to be fooled to death by her own son. She really gave birth to such a stupid person?


    ¡°Are you stupid? Don¡¯t you know about strong alpha inhibitors! Are you afraid of getting close to him with this thing?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang pursed his lips and recalled the effect of strong alpha inhibitors. ¡°Mom, does this have side effects¡­¡±


    Potent alpha inhibitors are different from the common estrus inhibitor. This inhibitor can directly block all traces of alpha pheromones temporarily. Even amongst a group of sensitive omegas, they¡¯ll only think that an alpha is a beta.


    However, such a powerful inhibitor has serious side effects. Qiu Zhenyang felt that he may have to lie in bed for a day tomorrow.


    At this time, Zhu Qin threw another blockbuster: ¡°Body is more important or wife is more important?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang gritted his teeth: ¡°¡­wife!¡±


    ¡°Knowing this, go kneel.¡± Waving her hand gracefully, his mother closed the door with a bang.


    After a second, the door opened again, and Qiu Zhenyang looked at it reluctantly.


    ¡°If you make more noise, I¡¯ll call your dad home and let him take you to practice mecha all night!¡±


    ¡°Bang!¡± The door closed again.


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡±


    No doubt his mother!


    With the assistance of his mother, Qiu Zhenyang injected the powerful inhibitor into his gland. Gritting his teeth, he unscrewed the door handle of Ling Mu¡¯s room!


    ¡°Mumu! I¡­¡± The voice came to an abrupt end, Qiu Zhenyang stared blankly at Ling Mu, who was sitting on the sofa with a towel around his waist.


    He had obviously just come out of the bathroom, and his short, stiff hair was still wet. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s gaze fell from his cheeks that were steamed red by the heat, to his fair and delicate collarbone, pink and small blushing, slender and strong waist, and a large area of supple, tender white legs were exposed because his right leg rested on the left.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s nose became hot.


    He had a nosebleed.


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Uh, so you were taking a shower just now. I thought you were ignoring me on purpose.¡± Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly closed the door, eyes dodging as he pulled a tissue to wipe his nose.


    Ling Mu raised his eyebrows to look at him, moved his nose, and said in a bewildered tone: ¡°Why can¡¯t I smell pheromones on you?¡±


    Putting the tissue next to the sofa, the distance between them shortened as Qiu Zhenyang came over, but he didn¡¯t react at all. Even if he cleaned up Le Jin¡¯s pheromone, he couldn¡¯t smell any of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s own pheromones at all. What¡¯s going on?


    ¡°Really can¡¯t smell it?¡± Qiu Zhenyang grinned and rushed towards Ling Mu on the sofa.


    ¡°F*ck, Qiu Zhenyang, what are you doing? Stay away from me!¡± Ling Mu hurriedly tried to push, but he couldn¡¯t resist Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s strength, and was thrown down on the sofa.


    Qiu Zhenyang pressed Ling Mu under his body and looked at him from above, his eyes gradually getting wrong.


    It¡¯s really been several days since then, and Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes were red from hunger and thirst.


    The two have clearly confirmed their relationship, but the way they get along is still much the same as before. Mainly because the timing was really too ¡®good¡¯. Ling Mu was recovering, so he could only endure it!


    ¡°Are you uncomfortable? I¡¯ve taken a strong inhibitor, so I can stay with you for a while.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s voice was a little hoarse, and he couldn¡¯t wait to kiss Ling Mu. The touch of lips and teeth was surprisingly good, Qiu Zhenyang felt so comfortable that his scalp was numb, and his breathing suddenly became heavy.


    Poor Ling Mu didn¡¯t have time to say a word, and was kissed and his eyes blurred.


    His hand that was pushing back gradually loosened, and he naturally found Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s neck to wrap it around, accepting the fiery kiss from above.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t wear a shirt, which made it easier for Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hands to roam around his body, stroking every bit of smooth skin. His action was not small, but he deliberately restrained it, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, more like a kind of provocation, which stoked the fire in Ling Mu¡¯s heart to burn vigorously.


    The two were kissing and touching on the sofa. When the two opened their eyes mid-breath, Ling Mu looked up and felt nervous.


    It¡¯s over, this guy¡¯s eyes are red!


    Although the two of them have done a lot of inappropriate things, they haven¡¯t done it with real swords. Besides, now that he is in Qiu¡¯s house, Qiu Zhenyang really won¡¯t want to do something crazy, would he?


    Ling Mu was instantly frightened by this thought, and he raised his foot and kicked Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Why are you kicking me, let¡¯s continue¡­¡± After speaking, he wanted to bury his head and kiss him again.


    ¡°Wait, wait!¡± Ling Mu desperately put his hand on his strong shoulder to block him. ¡°Could it be that you came in with a powerful inhibitor to do this kind of thing?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang blinked: ¡°Of course not, but it¡¯s still the most important thing. Let¡¯s kiss¡­¡±


    ¡°Tsk, Qiu Zhenyang, get up for me!¡±


    In the end, with Ling Mu¡¯s strong insistence, Qiu Zhenyang could only sit on the sofa depressedly, looking at the person beside him with desire and dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Go out if you don¡¯t have anything else, I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± Ling Mu said firmly, but his flushed face was not convincing. He also moved his buttocks and sorted out the crumpled bath towel. That damn Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes are sticking to his leg!


    Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s actions, Qiu Zhenyang looked away regretfully, and finally remembered the purpose of his entry.


    ¡°I came to apologize to you. I shouldn¡¯t have let Le Jin get pheromones on me. It¡¯s my fault.¡±


    Although Qiu Zhenyang had never been in a relationship before, he always felt that admitting one¡¯s fault when they¡¯re wrong is the best solution in a healthy relationship. The other party may act generously, but are actually angry. It¡¯s better not to act fearlessly on this good faith, otherwise things will definitely not work out in the long run.


    After all, trust is mutual, and both parties need to maintain it together.


    He wants to marry Ling Mu and be with him for the rest of his life, meaning that maintaining this thing call ¡®trust¡¯ is crucial.


    Ling Mu turned his head to look at him, did not speak, and just listened.


    Facing his scrutiny, Qiu Zhenyang became inexplicably nervous. ¡°I brought Uncle Zhang with me, and he watched from the side. Nothing really happened between us!¡±


    Ling Mu raised his eyebrows, still saying nothing.


    Qiu Zhenyang was a little flustered, and roared in a hurry: ¡°I can only get hard for you!¡±


    His voice was so loud that it could still be heard clearly in the corridor with superior sound insulation.


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­¡±


    A minute later, Qiu Zhenyang pressed his hands and feet against the door and confessed his mistakes. ¡°Ah, I said something wrong, don¡¯t be like this, Mumu, give me another chance. Why did you drive me away so early at night?¡±


    ¡°F*ck early, go to bed!¡± Ling Mu was really convinced, this guy couldn¡¯t spit out ivory!


    ¡°Don¡¯t, let¡¯s talk again, I probably won¡¯t be able to get up tomorrow.¡± Qiu Zhenyang wanted to cry. He used such a powerful inhibitor, but didn¡¯t do anything. Isn¡¯t this a waste! Tomorrow, not only will his pheromones be restored, but he won¡¯t be able to approach Ling Mu, and also suffer the after effects¡­


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t care about him, and stepped directly on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s foot that was stuck in the door jam. When it retracted with a scream, he quickly closed the door and locked it neatly.


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡±


    Why is he so miserable?


    QZY shot himself in the foot this time. Had he not provoked Mumu, he might have been fine.

 CH 54.1

    The next day, Qiu Zhenyang really couldn¡¯t get up.


    He lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, feeling unwell.


    The sequelae of each alpha after taking a powerful inhibitor are different. As a top alpha, Qiu Zhenyang suffered even more tragic consequences.


    Not only is he sore and unable to move, but he wasn¡¯t able to control the pheromones in his body, which were on a rampage, trying to find a breakthrough and rush out.


    Zhu Qin kindly came to see her son early in the morning, but when she saw his haggard face and the exaggerated dark circles, she laughed gleefully.


    ¡°Mom, can you stop laughing?¡± Qiu Zhenyang stared at his mother with a pair of dead fish eyes, the red blood in his eyes was terrifying.


    After a while, Zhu Qin finally stopped and sat gracefully beside the bed. She glanced at the time on the terminal and said, ¡°What¡¯ll you do when I go pick up your grandparents later?¡±


    ¡°What can I do? Just tell grandfather and grandma that I¡¯m not feeling well, and I¡¯ll accompany them when I¡¯m better tomorrow.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was also helpless. What else could he do, his muscles are so sore that even turning over hurt, let alone going to pick people up.


    It didn¡¯t matter to Zhu Qin. ¡°Anyway, your grandfather and grandma love you. Even if you go out to play, they will not be unhappy.¡±


    Zhu Qin, who knew her parents well, sought some welfare for her son before leaving. ¡°Xiaomu, if you have time, please help me to watch Zhenyang. His pheromones are quite messy right now. If you stand far away and give him your pheromone, I think it can make him feel better.¡±


    Ling Mu was surprised: ¡°Is this still possible?¡±


    Zhu Qin didn¡¯t lie to him. After all, the best medicine for an alpha with disordered pheromones is to have one¡¯s own omega appease them.


    ¡°Well, you can go if you want, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t want to. Then I¡¯ll go first.¡± Waving her hands, Zhu Qin took the lead in getting on the aircraft. Behind her, Le Jin also followed with a dark face. He glared at Ling Mu several times, but was completely ignored.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his grandmother also came with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s grandparents, Le Jin would never have followed along.


    Although he was terrified all night from Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s warning, Le Jin still didn¡¯t want to give up. Having liked Qiu Zhenyang for more than ten years, how could he give up so easily? Anyway, grandma came along this time. With grandma helping him, it is not certain who¡¯ll win or lose!


    Watching Zhu Qin depart on the aircraft, Ling Mu thought about her suggestion seriously.


    If his own pheromones are really useful, there is no problem with giving Qiu Zhenyang a little.


    Thinking of this, he immediately went to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s room and knocked on the door.


    ¡°Uncle Zhang, I really can¡¯t eat breakfast. I can¡¯t even get up now~¡± Qiu Zhenyang shouted while lying down. Apart from moving his mouth, he can¡¯t move at all.


    Ling Mu twitched the corner of his mouth and pushed the door open.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pheromones were indeed a bit disordered. Even standing by the door, Ling Mu could feel a little bit of discomfort in his body. However, his condition has gotten better, so it wasn¡¯t too bad.


    When Qiu Zhenyang heard the door open, he turned his head slightly. When he saw it was Ling Mu, he immediately became anxious. ¡°Why are you coming in? Didn¡¯t my mother tell you that my pheromones are messed up, and ask you not to come?¡±


    Ling Mu closed the door, leaned his back against the door, and said indifferently, ¡°It doesn¡¯t smell much here, so you should worry about yourself first.¡±


    ¡°I have nothing to worry about, it¡¯s just lying down for a day.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s brain was flexible. Just after saying this, he said teasingly, ¡°Why, are you worried about my body so you came to see me? As expected of my wife. Don¡¯t worry, for your sake, I will definitely get better soon!¡±


    Ling Mu found it funny. He obviously couldn¡¯t move, but his mouth kept playing tricks.


    ¡°If you have this skill, you should think more about how to lie down today.¡± Ling Mu controlled his pheromone to go to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s side. The faint floral fragrance was like a tentacle reaching out, slowly approaching Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s body.


    The moment he noticed Ling Mu¡¯s pheromone, Qiu Zhenyang felt a lot more relaxed and sighed.


    He didn¡¯t expect that Ling Mu¡¯s pheromone could have such an effect on him.


    ¡°It¡¯s much better, thank you wife!¡± Qiu Zhenyang immediately thanked Ling Mu with a happy smile.


    ¡°Who is your wife?¡±


    ¡°Not now, but definitely in the future!¡±


    ¡°Who can say what will happen in the future.¡±


    ¡°I can say! Anyway, you will definitely marry me in the future.¡± Qiu Zhenyang stared brightly at Ling Mu¡¯s face, his obsidian-like eyes shining like stars. ¡°If you don¡¯t marry me, then I will tie you back, not only turn raw rice into cooked rice, but also to wrap you up so your body is inseparable from mine!¡±


    Ling Mu blushed at his naked provocation, and scolded him angrily: ¡°Why are you so restless when lying down? If you want to talk nonsense, I¡¯ll go out and you¡¯ll feel uncomfortable.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang pursed his mouth in grievance and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s not nonsense¡­ ¡°


    The smell of Ling Mu in the room became stronger and stronger. After releasing a lot of pheromones, his face didn¡¯t look too good.


    Qiu Zhenyang felt sorry for him, and immediately cautioned: ¡°Okay, that¡¯s enough. Anyway, the window is closed, your pheromones won¡¯t go away for a while, you rest for a while.¡±


    Hearing what he said, Ling Mu stopped. Looking around the room, he found the chair farthest from Qiu Zhenyang and sat down.


    The light scent of flowers on the tip of the nose is very pleasant. Qiu Zhenyang suddenly asked: ¡°You still haven¡¯t told me what your pheromone is.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang asked this question at school before, but at that time, the two were just classmates and Ling Mu directly skipped the question. Now Qiu Zhenyang asks again, since the two have become lovers, there is no need to hide it any more.


    ¡°Sunflower.¡±


    ¡°Sunflower?¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled, ¡°My pheromone is sunshine, your pheromone is sunflower, we were born to be together! We are a natural pair! Ouch, ow, it hurts!¡±


    The small thing made Qiu Zhenyang so happy that he almost jumped out of bed. Ling Mu was amused watching him, and there was an indescribable sense of fulfillment in his heart. In the past, in order to survive, he hated his omega identity. Pheromones not only brought him life pressure, but also brought a lot of physical pressure. But now, based on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words, it seems that this pheromone was born to match him, unique and highly suitable.


    ¡°Your¡­ what kind of junior do grandparents like?¡±


    Ling Mu was suddenly a little nervous. Although Zhu Qin and Qiu Zhang were very good to him, there was, after all, a generation between them, so he was inevitably a little nervous.


    He was afraid that he would not behave well, and fail to meet the Qiu family¡¯s recognition and love towards him.


    Qiu Zhenyang thought about it for a while, licked his lower lip and said, ¡°My grandparents are very good, and they¡¯ll definitely like the person I like. Just relax, baby. They can answer whatever they ask, and my mother will help you. If you¡¯re really uncomfortable, it¡¯s fine to come to my room and say you¡¯re taking care of me.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang felt that there was no need to put too much pressure on him given Ling Mu¡¯s character.


    In the original body¡¯s memory, his grandfather and grandmother loved him very much, but he was not very clear about their requirements for his partner.


    It doesn¡¯t matter what the old people think about it. Ling Mu is the person Qiu Zhenyang identified himself. If he gave up because of a few words of opposition from others, he wouldn¡¯t be Qiu Zhenyang.


    Being so comforted by Qiu Zhenyang, Ling Mu did not relax, but became more nervous.


    He actually has grandparents himself, but after the death of his father, the two old people directly cut off their relationship with them because of their mother, and resolutely did not give Dong Qiulan a penny. His paternal grandparents died when he was very young, so Ling Mu really didn¡¯t know how to get along with the elderly.


    It is precisely because he really cared about Qiu Zhenyang that Ling Mu was so worried if his family could accept him.


    ¡°Okay, what are you thinking about?¡± Qiu Zhenyang wanted him to relax, so he could only say, ¡°When is your birthday? My birthday is coming soon, it¡¯s not far away.¡±


    Ling Mu was really distracted: ¡°Your birthday is coming soon?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, otherwise my grandparents wouldn¡¯t come at this time. They usually only have time to visit during the Chinese New Year.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was also a little helpless about this. Even a simple birthday becomes troublesome as the son of a wealthy family.


    Even if Qiu Zhenyang was unwilling, the old people insisted on holding a birthday party for him.


    Therefore, this time, both his maternal and paternal grandparents came. His paternal grandparents also lived on Capital star, but they lived in a quiet and remote place, and didn¡¯t go out often.


    ¡°When is your birthday?¡± Ling Mu asked.


    ¡°Ten days later, we have to go back to school once during the period. The mid-term exam is coming.¡± Qiu Zhenyang sighed slightly. Although he is a scholar, he also hates exams.


    ¡°Exam?!¡± Ling Mu knew about it, but he didn¡¯t expect that almost two months had passed since the start of school.


    Qiu Zhenyang noticed the embarrassed look on Ling Mu¡¯s face, and couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You don¡¯t like exams either?¡±


    Ling Mu squinted at him. ¡°Who likes exams? I¡¯m worried that I¡¯ll fail the class.¡±


    As someone who has been going out to work to support his family, Ling Mu¡¯s grades have always been poor. In the past, it was because he had to go to school during the day and work until the early morning at night, and lacked sleep that he did poorly. Now, because his foundation is too poor, he can¡¯t understand many things, and his grades got even worse.


    Therefore, Ling Mu often sighed at the Interstellar Academy¡¯s entrance exam. If it was based on written grades, he would definitely not be able to enter.


    ¡°Fail?¡± Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows in surprise. The thought never even crossed his mind.


    After all, apart from mid-term and final exams, there was basically no means of testing in university, so Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t know much about Ling Mu¡¯s grades. Now that his wife said he might fail the exam, Qiu Zhenyang naturally¡­ wants to help!


    ¡°Have you received the review documents sent in the class? Go through them first, and ask me what you don¡¯t understand. I¡¯ll teach you. Don¡¯t worry, with me teaching you, there¡¯s absolutely no problem!¡±


    Ling Mu He looked at him suspiciously, obviously not convinced.


    ¡°You don¡¯t even believe what your husband said? I¡¯m a scholar, one that stands above other scholars! With me, it¡¯s hard for you to fail!¡± Qiu Zhenyang proudly raised his head, but in his lying down position, it was hard to see any difference.


    Since getting together, Ling Mu stopped caring about Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s many names. What husband, what wife? Anyway, no one else is here. He can call whatever he wants. Although Ling Mu has never been in a relationship, these are still acceptable, but sometimes he feels ashamed¡­


    It¡¯s still early, Zhu Qin probably hasn¡¯t arrived at the airport yet, so Ling Mu simply started to review in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s room.


    Most of the information was on the terminal. While he was looking at it, he also tentatively asked what he didn¡¯t understand. As a result, Qiu Zhenyang really answered it all for him, without the slightest mistake. This time, Ling Mu finally believed him and began to review happily.


    Unconsciously, more than an hour passed, and the two finally heard the noise from downstairs.


    Ling Mu stood up suddenly, looking a little nervous: ¡°I¡¯ll go down and have a look.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help laughing when he saw that his entire face was tense: ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, grandpa and grandma are very nice.¡±


    ¡°En.¡± Ling Mu nodded, but when he went out, he was walking with the same arm and leg.

    T/N: Thank you Bobby, Narrowedeyes for the ko-fis!


    When they came downstairs, Zhu Qin just brought them in, and immediately introduced him: ¡°Mom, this is Ling Mu, Xiaomu, this is Zhenyang¡¯s grandfather and grandmother, and that is Xiaojin¡¯s grandmother.¡±


    Ling Mu greeted the three of them respectfully: ¡°Hello, elders!¡±


    Ning Yun and Zhu Qi1Zhu Qin¡¯s parents, aka QZY¡¯s maternal grandparents glanced at each other, and the former smiled and grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s hand: ¡°Xiaomu, right? You look very energetic! I heard Zhu Qin say that Zhenyang likes you. Although that kid is a jerk, once he makes up his mind, he will never let go. I, being a grandmother, can be relieved.¡±


    Zhu Qi walked over from behind and said with a little regret, ¡°Zhu Qin only said it when we got off the starship, which made it too late for us to buy you a gift, we¡¯ll make it up for you later.¡±


    Ling Mu was flattered, and immediately rejected: ¡°No, no, grandpa and grandma2I¡¯ll try to use grandma/pa for maternal, and grandfather/mother for paternal, when possible as they both show up, really no need, there¡¯s no need to be so troublesome!¡±


    His face was completely flushed, embarrassed. It was very difficult to refuse and he didn¡¯t dare to be blunt.


    After spending two days with Ling Mu, Zhu Qin knew him well, so she quickly stopped her parents. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s alright, Xiaomu is thin-skinned. Mom, dad, please don¡¯t hold him and let him go. Zhenyang is upstairs lying down, go and have a look.¡±


    Hearing this, Ning Yun and Zhu Qi, who loved their grandson, eagerly rushed upstairs.


    ¡°Aunt Zhang, please come here, the room is ready for you.¡± Zhu Qin led the way for Grandma3polite term. E.g., granny who lives next door type of call Zhang who stayed.


    On the way back, her mother whispered to her that Grandma Zhang had the intention of matching her grandson, Le Jin, with Qiu Zhenyang, and marry them, so she asked Ning Yun to bring her. So now, the sudden appearance of Ling Mu made Grandma Zhang very uncomfortable.


    After Ning Yun and Zhu Qi left, she began to pick on Ling Mu¡¯s bad spots.


    ¡°Oh, this is the person that Zhenyang is interested in? So tall, he doesn¡¯t look like an omega¡­¡± Grandma Zhang looked at Ling Mu with disgust as she spoke, the meaning was obvious.


    Ling Mu glanced at her and said nothing.


    Zhu Qin was a little unhappy in her heart, but she still had a polite smile on her face. ¡°I heard from Zhenyang that Xiaomu had the habit of exercising every day since he was a child. It¡¯s a good thing to grow taller.¡±


    ¡°Well, an omega should be like my family¡¯s Xiao Jin. He looks good, has a good bearing, and is worthy of your kid.¡± As someone who has never read a book, Grandma Zhang¡¯s words are vulgar and harsh, not like Le Jin who has worked hard to learn etiquette.


    Le Jin obediently supported his grandmother¡¯s arm, and said embarrassingly: ¡°Grandma, what are you saying, I can only be considered average.¡±


    Hearing their conversation, Zhu Qin¡¯s eyes instantly turned cold. She said without smiling, ¡°Aunt Zhang, you must be tired from traveling, I¡¯ll lead you to the room to rest early. Xiaojin, you should also spend more time with your grandmother. She¡¯s getting old, and can¡¯t handle such long-distance flights.¡±


    Ling Mu watched them go. He didn¡¯t follow, and went to Ling Dang¡¯s room.


    Upstairs, after Ning Yun and Zhu Qi arrived at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s room, they were both dumbfounded, distressed, and humored.


    When Qiu Zhenyang finished explaining his current situation, the two old people couldn¡¯t help laughing.


    ¡°You kid, you always have some messed up ideas. You deserve it!¡± Although Zhu Qi is the chief pharmacist from a family of pharmacists, he has a funny personality and is an old urchin who likes to make jokes about his grandson.


    Ning Yun immediately hit him: ¡°Go, go, you immortal, hurry down and bring me a bowl of fruit. Didn¡¯t you hear Yangyang say that he hasn¡¯t eaten today? I¡¯ll feed him some fruit first.¡±


    Zhu Qi¡¯s wife was very strict, so he quickly went down and brought up a bowl of cubed fruit. Ning Yun took the fruit with a fork and handed it to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth.


    The room was cozy.


    ¡°Yangyang, have you really thought about it, you want to be with Xiaomu?¡± Grandma wanted to hear the truth from her little grandson to confirm it herself.


    Knowing that they had met, Qiu Zhenyang nodded. ¡°Yes, grandma, you have to treat him like me in the future. I want to be with him for the rest of my life!¡±


    Hearing her little grandson admit it in person, Ning Yun confirmed the situation, and fed him another piece of fruit. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the two of you brothers are grandpa and grandma¡¯s most precious treasures. Neither of you have ever been in love until now, and since you finally have someone you identify with, us grandparents will definitely treat him well.¡±


    Speaking of which, the Qiu family¡¯s people are very good, they are all very supportive, and there is nothing that can¡¯t be reasoned out.


    Qiu Zhenyang ate another piece of fruit. After swallowing it, he quickly stopped: ¡°Okay, grandma, I have something to discuss with you. I will eat later.¡±


    Making a U-turn with her hand, Ning Yun ate the piece of fruit on the fork. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You young people still have something in common with us?¡± Ning Yun smiled kindly with a look of listening intently.


    Qiu Zhenyang explained his thoughts about the mecha game, and when he reached a place that could not be described, he raised his hand to open the terminal with difficulty, and called up the blueprint he had designed before. He had been exposed to some things before in his past life, and with the advanced technology, his designs are very clear and reflect the images in his mind.


    ¡°This¡­¡± Ning Yun looked at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s design carefully, and nodded while looking at it. ¡°Zhenyang, you have some ideas, I think this game is good.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his lips. Of course, this game is a combination of the games from his previous world. If his idea can¡¯t compare to those games with extremely chaotic settings, how could he have the face to bring it up?


    Zhu Qi looked at it and found that he couldn¡¯t understand it, so he simply left the room and gave the place to them.


    ¡°Grandma, I really want to make this game, but I don¡¯t have the human, material, and financial resources, so I want to borrow your help to help me complete this game.¡± Qiu Zhenyang stated his ultimate goal.


    The price to complete such a game can¡¯t be called too big, but although the Qiu family is rich, it is definitely not enough to support such a large project. As for his grandma who¡¯s the head of the First Consortium, there is nothing much apart from money! As long as she is willing, the plan is half done.


    Ning Yun immediately laughed when she heard the words of her little grandson. ¡°From childhood to adulthood, you had the most bad ideas, and your brother followed the rules. You two brothers are almost a hundred and eighty thousand miles apart!¡±


    Her eyes were full of colorful memories.


    ¡°Do whatever you want. In the future, the company will also be given to you, so treat this as an experience now.¡± Ning Yun looked at Qiu Zhenyang dotingly, and raised her hand to help him brush away the hair on his cheeks.


    Although the average life expectancy has increased, in a dozen years, she¡¯ll reach the age of retirement. It¡¯s a pity that her daughter doesn¡¯t like business. Her son-in-law is a marshal, and her eldest grandson has inherited his father¡¯s genes, prefers mecha and fighting, and is busy defending the family and the country. In the end, there¡¯s only Qiu Zhenyang to inherit her consortium.


    Therefore, Ning Yun put all her hopes on him.


    Now that her little grandson actually wants to do business and develop his own business, how can she not support him?


    ¡°I will send my secretary over a while and let him follow you. You can tell him anything you need. Grandma doesn¡¯t have anything else, just a lot of money and resources. Come to me if you have any difficulties, don¡¯t work too hard, okay?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was moved by his grandmother¡¯s words, was happily surprised. He never expected things to go so smoothly!


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s excited appearance, Ning Yun still warned: ¡°But if you fail, don¡¯t be sad, everything has a first time. As long as you really work hard, and are not afraid of failure, there is always a chance to start over.¡±


    My grandmother was also a hard worker, and gave her little grandson a psychological vaccine first.


    ¡°I know grandma, don¡¯t worry, I will do my best!¡± Qiu Zhenyang grinned, no matter what, he will definitely let the whole world know about this game!


    No matter how many times he fails, he will persevere, because this is the best gift he can give Ling Mu!


    Because of the delays that morning, it didn¡¯t take long for Zhu Qin to call Ning Yun down for lunch.


    Qiu Zhenyang continued to lie pitifully in the room alone, waiting for his grandmother to come up and continue feeding him.


    He originally thought that Ling Mu wouldn¡¯t be wronged, but Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t expect Grandma Zhang to come too. There was no such plot in the original book, and it¡¯s difficult to rein in such a wild horse4as in Grandma Zhang is a wild horse/unpredictable factor given how much the plot has derailed due to his actions.


    Lunch was embarrassing, mainly because Grandma Zhang complimented Le Jin whenever she got the chance, and secretly snubbed Ling Mu from time to time.


    ¡°Yo, I heard that Ling Mu¡¯s family is not in a good condition, and his mother has become a mistress?¡± Grandma Zhang said strangely, not knowing where she got the news.


    Ling Mu¡¯s hand holding the vegetables paused for a while, but did not speak, and continued to put the vegetables into Ling Dang¡¯s bowl.


    Ling Dang looked up at the strange grandma, and made a face at her with the bowl in her hand.


    ¡°Ah, why is this child so rude, what kind of face is she making at her elders. She really has no etiquette at all.¡± Grandma Zhang took the opportunity to belittle Ling Mu and his sister.


    Grandma couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, she put down the bowl with a little force, making a crisp sound. Ning Yun is not an ordinary old lady. As the one in charge of the First Consortium, her aura is very strong when facing outsiders.


    Although they¡¯ve been neighbors for decades and have some friendship, Ning Yun might be willing to bring her over for her little grandson¡¯s birthday party this time, but this does not mean that she is qualified to belittle the Qiu family!


    Grandma Zhang¡¯s voice stopped abruptly, and she wisely did not speak.


    After a meal, Ling Mu went back to the room with Ling Dang after everyone dispersed.


    ¡°Brother, why does that old lady say those bad things?¡± Ling Dang sat on Ling Mu¡¯s bed, her face wrinkled with a shriveled mouth.


    Although she is small, she can understand both good and bad words.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about her.¡± Ling Mu opened the terminal and called out the study materials, and took a pen and paper and began to review.


    Ling Mu had heard many of these things after his father died. From the cynicism of relatives at the beginning, to the slander of people who don¡¯t know the truth, Ling Mu endured so much that he is now numb.


    He will not lose faith in life because of these hurtful words. Not before, and not now.


    Ling Mu almost stayed in the room the entire afternoon, and even Ling Dang¡¯s emotions were not very high.


    Fortunately, Qiu Zhenyang was able to move by the evening. After leaving the room, he ran to knock on Ling Mu¡¯s door.


    ¡°Xiao Mumu, what are you doing, come out and play with me~¡± Qiu Zhenyang shouted, inexplicably feeling that his tone was a bit like abducting Xiaobai5think gullible cute white dog.


    Mumu, stay strong!

 CH 55

    When everyone fell asleep and woke up, Le Jin and Grandma Zhang had already been sent away by the housekeeper.


    Apparently Grandma Zhang cried for a long time, but in the end, Le Jin got angry with his grandma and took her away. It seems Le Jin still has some brains and is not entirely hopeless.


    Everyone ate breakfast together. After eating, the grandparents went out to socialize.


    Although the headquarters of the consortium run by my grandmother is not in Capital Star, most of its main businesses are here. In addition, his grandmother has a prominent status. Many business partners have sent invitations after knowing that she came to Capital Star. Whether it is out of cooperation or interpersonal relationships, she had to attend.


    Qiu Zhenyang deeply admires his grandmother. Although some of the wealth is inherited, it is really not easy to properly manage and continuously develop it into such a large-scale consortium.


    ¡°This answer is wrong. There¡¯s a small mistake here, you should use this instead.¡±


    At this moment, Qiu Zhenyang was reviewing with Ling Mu, and the two were nestled in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s room, crowding at the same desk, staring at the same paper.


    What¡¯s more amazing is that after Ling Mu went to bed, the sequelae almost disappeared. Qiu Zhenyang specially called his attending doctor at the time and was finally relieved after confirming that even the approach of alphas and omegas would not cause Ling Mu to feel uncomfortable.


    ¡°This problem uses Arnos¡¯s Law. I will draw a sketch for you first, then you substitute these numbers and letters into it¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s learning tyrant attribute came to full force as he instructed Ling Mu on how to solve the problem.


    Ling Mu leaned over to watch Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s problem-solving process, his brows furrowed tightly, his expression serious. But after a while, he began to mind wander.


    The fingers that hold the pen are slender and slender, with well-defined knuckles, and the hand slightly larger than an omega¡¯s hand looks very secure. The voice in the ear was low and gentle, not the same as the usual joking tone, scratching the ear and itching, and he couldn¡¯t help breathing lightly.


    The weather wasn¡¯t hot, so the windows were open for ventilation.


    The air that is about to enter autumn is mixed with a little heat and a little coolness, blowing against one¡¯s face comfortably, bringing with it the breath breath of green leaves and flowers from the backyard.


    Ling Mu¡¯s brows gradually relaxed, and his body felt light.


    ¡°Finally, ab378 is obtained, and Duff¡¯s formula can be applied¡­ Okay, it¡¯s solved, you¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s voice stopped abruptly when he turned his head, and he couldn¡¯t help chuckling at Ling Mu¡¯s sleepy expression.


    ¡°Why are you so sleepy? Didn¡¯t you sleep for a while in the morning, didn¡¯t get enough sleep?¡±


    Ling Mu blinked, finally blinking the drowsiness away, and immediately sat up straight and refused to admit fault. ¡°I¡¯m not sleepy.¡±


    ¡°Really? Whose head was about to hit the table just now?¡±


    Ling Mu raised his eyebrows and frowned. ¡°You saw wrong! Talk about the question! Not me!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang stopped laughing, and quickly coaxed his wife: ¡°Okay, okay, take a look at the problem I solved just now, does it make sense now?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s mind was wandering the entire time just now, how could he understand anything?


    His ears were quietly red, so don¡¯t blame Qiu Zhenyang awkwardly: ¡°You spoke too fast, I didn¡¯t hear it clearly, you, you explain it again.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, a tool person who loves his wife, sneered. He could only repeat his words once again.


    Alas, after all, it¡¯s no wonder Ling Mu zoned out. Who made him look so handsome? This handsome face can easily disturb my wife¡¯s studies! Hahaha!


    Qiu Zhenyang had an enjoyable morning due to Ling Mu¡¯s zoning out. Notching his voice up a degree to explain the topic, Ling Mu finally regained his wits.


    But it is worth mentioning that Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lectures are really good, and he can especially grasp the core issues in Ling Mu¡¯s problem-solving process. And every time he told Ling Mu about it, he asked him to do the same type of problem again, and Ling Mu didn¡¯t miss it again.


    The two stayed in the room like this, Ling Dang was taken out to play by Zhu Qin, and they didn¡¯t come back for lunch, so they even let Uncle Zhang bring lunch to the room to eat.


    After reviewing until the evening, Qiu Zhenyang decided to end the review session when he heard movement downstairs.


    ¡°Okay, take a break and go downstairs. I¡¯ll take you out for dinner later.¡± Qiu Zhenyang stretched, resting his elbows on the table and dragging his chin to look at Ling Mu.


    Ling Mu, who was packing up his textbooks and exam papers, frowned and looked at him: ¡°What are you doing shopping? Why don¡¯t we go to the Mecha Building if there¡¯s time¡­¡±


    After two days without going, Ling Mu¡¯s hands felt a little itchy.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you there tomorrow afternoon. If you want to go shopping with me today, I want to buy you something.¡±


    ¡°Buy what?¡± Shopping is a new thing for Ling Mu. Because he didn¡¯t have enough time or money, and felt shy, all his and Ling Dang¡¯s clothes were purchased from very cheap street stalls.


    But recently, Ling Dang¡¯s clothes are very different from before, because Zhu Qin bought her a lot of new clothes. Although Ling Mu wanted to refuse, every time Zhu Qin would use a different reason making him unable to refute. After all, it was a gift from an elder, so he could only accept them with a thank you.


    Qiu Zhenyang knew that Ling Mu had strong self-esteem and was unwilling to accept other people¡¯s things for no reason, so he said, ¡°I¡¯ll buy you a suit, since you must attend my birthday party in a few days. But this is just lent to you. When the time comes, you can return it to me, don¡¯t feel pressured.¡±


    Ling Mu was a little helpless. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to wear it even if I return it to you.¡±


    ¡°Then treat it as if I gave it to you?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡±


    ¡°Look, you don¡¯t want it, then why do you care about me so much? I will naturally have other uses when you give it back to me.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s mouth was stupid, but Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t say it, and was choked for a while.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled roguely, put his face close again, and pouted at Ling Mu: ¡°I taught you for a full day today, so you should pay me some tuition?¡±


    This action was full of hints. Ling Mu¡¯s hand shook, making him almost drop the book.


    ¡°You, why are you alway thinking about this kind of thing in your head?¡± Ling Mu turned his face away, his eyes dodging. He still can¡¯t get used to this kind of intimate action between couples.


    Qiu Zhenyang pursed his lower lip, put both hands on Ling Mu¡¯s shoulders and turned him to face him.


    ¡°Ling Mu, we are already together. It is normal for couples to do this kind of thing. You should learn to get used to it.¡±


    For a person who is emotionally sensitive and vulnerable, sometimes he must be properly guided. Qiu Zhenyang knew that Ling Mu¡¯s mind was relatively simple in these aspects due to family reasons and social reasons. He was able to compete with a shy child. Even if he did not contradict him, he would still need to adapt.


    After all, for some awkward introverts, it takes a lot of courage to take the initiative and accept!


    Qiu Zhenyang was rarely serious, and what he said was reasonable. Ling Mu lowered his head, his eyes were a little overwhelmed.


    He was used to being indifferent and inhumane in other people¡¯s mouths, so even though he had established a relationship with Qiu Zhenyang, he still couldn¡¯t let go in some respects. Let alone Qiu Zhenyang, even he knew he couldn¡¯t continue like this. But even if wanted to change, he can¡¯t take the first step yet.


    Seeing the entanglement in Ling Mu¡¯s heart, Qiu Zhenyang hugged him into arms thoughtfully, and said against his pink earlobe, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, we are already together. I can teach you many things that you don¡¯t know. If you¡¯re shy, I can also take the initiative. But you also have to promise me that the day you fully open yourself up, can¡¯t be too far away, okay?¡±


    The last syllable above made Ling Mu¡¯s body numb. He buried his head in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s shoulders, hiding his red cheeks, and nodded in agreement.


    There¡¯s no way, Qiu Zhenyang is too provocative, Ling Mu can¡¯t bear it¡­


    Excited by the cute reaction, Qiu Zhenyang pushed the person away and pressed him on the back of the head and kissed him.


    ¡°En¡­¡±


    The soft lips were sucked heavily, with a strong possessiveness. Qiu Zhenyang licked Ling Mu¡¯s lips emotionally, attacked the hot and humid mouth, and danced with the soft tip of his tongue. It didn¡¯t take long for Ling Mu to turn breathless from kissing, and he could only try his best to take a breath whenever possible.


    Every time Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s kisses seemed to tear him apart. It was obviously just a kiss, but it gave Ling Mu the illusion that he was going to be eaten up.


    He didn¡¯t even dare to think about whether he would faint directly when he used a real knife and gun?1as in actually doing it


    After kissing Ling Mu¡¯s lips, Qiu Zhenyang squinted and stopped.


    His fingers brushed Ling Mu¡¯s soft and hot lips with a bit of strength, and his eyes were like a wolf, as if he would pounce at any time.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t dare to provoke him at this moment, the air was filled with a strong yang odor, as if being exposed to the noon sun. Obviously there was no heat, but his skin seemed to burn.


    ¡°Just treat that as your tuition fee.¡± After taking a few deep breaths, Qiu Zhenyang grinned.


    He is indeed a bit forceful. After all, he is still a top-level alpha who is extremely strong in all aspects. He will always be a little impulsive when facing an omega he loves. However, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s control can¡¯t be considered poor; he really won¡¯t force Ling Mu to have a more in-depth exchange until he is ready.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go and take a look at clothes while it¡¯s still early.¡±


    Holding hands, Qiu Zhenyang stood up, and took Ling Mu, who was bright red, out of the house.


    Speaking of which, Qiu Zhenyang hasn¡¯t gone out much since transmigrating over. The last time he went out for a stroll was when his mother took him out to buy daily necessities when school was about to start.


    This time, the two of them did not take their own aircraft, but took a public aircraft.


    Public aircraft are much larger than private aircraft, and can accommodate about fifty people. Everyone waits at a place similar to a bus stop. After the aircraft corresponding to the road section arrives, swipe the card and find a seat inside to sit down.


    On the way from home to the station, Qiu Zhenyang never let go of Ling Mu¡¯s hand.


    Ling Mu felt embarrassed at first, and kept his head down for fear of what others would see. Later, after discovering that almost no one paid attention to them, and that there were many couples holding hand, he stopped hiding.


    Ling Mu discovered that Qiu Zhenyang was consciously changing his character little by little, and he actually liked this change very much.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the ready-to-wear store in a moment. If there¡¯s none that suits you, I¡¯ll take you to the custom shop.¡± Qiu Zhenyang whispered in his ear. ¡°because custom clothing takes time to make, it¡¯s better to buy ready-to-wear clothes right now.¡±


    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Ling Mu never asked about their destination, and was a little curious now.


    Qiu Zhenyang had already thought about it last night. ¡°Cross City.¡±


    Cross City is the luxury gathering place of Capital Star. Any item there can cost upwards of 100,000. It is simply not someplace that ordinary people can afford to shop.


    Surprised, the hand holding onto Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s tightened. ¡°The clothes over there are very expensive!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s very expensive, but¡­ um, I am the second son of the Qiu family after all. The people who come to the birthday party are either rich or expensive, and my partner must also wear appropriate clothes to match, right?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang touched his nose. He was also helpless, okay?


    It was obviously his birthday, but he still had to follow along. He wanted to cry without tears.


    Why can¡¯t he go out with Ling Mu by himself, find a place to play, have a candlelight dinner or something? Such a birthday will be very comfortable!


    A birthday party¡­ hmm¡­ something¡¯s afoot.

 CH 56

    Although it was a working day, Cross City was still crowded with people, and there was an endless stream of customers.


    Qiu Zhenyang first took Ling Mu to eat something, and then started to visit clothing stores.


    ¡°Take a look at this, there are a few that look like they¡¯d suit you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang pulled Ling Mu into a high-end brand store, and asked the clerk to find some suits for Ling Mu to try.


    Ling Mu felt a little stifled seeing the clothes. Even when his father was alive, he had never stepped into such a high-end brand store. Pursing his lips, he moved expressionlessly.


    After Qiu Zhenyang saw him enter the fitting room, he sat on the sofa outside to wait. The clerk brought him coffee and biscuits with a smile, and the service was very good. Despite the store¡¯s large size, there weren¡¯t many customers, and the service was very good. After all, many major brands have shops in Cross City.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, come here.¡±


    Suddenly a small voice came from the fitting room. When Qiu Zhenyang looked over, he saw Ling Mu¡¯s blushing face sticking out from the fitting room, looking at him as if asking for help.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Qiu Zhenyang asked as he stood up and walked over. He made a ¡°no¡± gesture to the clerk who came over to check the situation, and blocked the edge of the door. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Ling Mu bit his lower lip, opened the door a little more, and dragged Qiu Zhenyang in by the neckline.


    ¡°How do you wear this? Why is it different from normal clothes?¡± Ling Mu was only wearing trousers, and a white shirt with several long straps inside the clothes. The store clerks here are all female betas, so he was embarrassed to call them and could only ask Qiu Zhenyang to help.


    Although clothing was generally the same as in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s previous world, some small details differed. The aesthetics here are slightly different, so there are unique details. Especially these high-end brands, each of which may be different.


    Fortunately, Qiu Zhenyang had memories of similar clothes, so he had Ling Mu open his hands, while he lowered his head and helped him put it on while explaining to him. After he finished, Qiu Zhenyang even helped him put on the pants. Ling Mu letting him help dress him, gave Qiu Zhenyang a perverted sense of satisfaction in his desire for control.


    ¡°So cute.¡± After helping him dress, Qiu Zhenyang lowered his head and kissed Ling Mu¡¯s lips as a reward.


    ¡°Tsk, can you restrain yourself outside!¡± Ling Mu was about to go crazy. Opening the door, he kicked Qiu Zhenyang out. Standing in front of the mirror blushing, he tidied himself up, and ignored the person trying to kiss him at every turn.


    Qiu Zhenyang lightly patted the dust on his legs, suppressed the sweet smile at the corner of his mouth, and prepared to go find some more clothes for Ling Mu. But when he turned around, he suddenly found a familiar person not far away.


    Cheng An¡¯an.


    ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Cheng An¡¯an smiled and greeted Qiu Zhenyang. A female omega looking to be in her 40¡¯s stood beside him. She resembled Cheng An¡¯an, but her eyes were timid and her expression was unnatural, as if from timidity.


    Qiu Zhenyang knew without guessing that the woman should be Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s mother.


    He nodded at Cheng An¡¯an in response, then indifferently returned his gaze towards Ling Mu, who Cheng An¡¯an also discovered. Compared to Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s smiling face, Ling Mu¡¯s expression was very direct, and he looked away almost immediately as if he didn¡¯t recognize him. He rarely acts condescending towards other people, but with Cheng An¡¯an destined to be incompatible because of one Qiu Zhenyang, he didn¡¯t even feel the need to make any superficial efforts.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him, just do our own thing.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took another suit that looked good and stuffed it into Ling Mu¡¯s hand.


    Ling Mu continued to try on clothes, and Qiu Zhenyang went back to the sofa to wait for him, bowing his head to scan his terminal. But after a while, the sofa beside him sank, indicating someone had sat down beside him.


    ¡°You brought Ling Mu to buy clothes, right?¡± Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s voice was still soft, acting as if nothing had happened, even after Qiu Zhenyang had torn faces with him.


    Qiu Zhenyang balanced his right foot on his left leg, and folded his arms with an uninteresting ¡°en¡± sound.


    Seeing him like this, Cheng An¡¯an chuckled: ¡°Are you still mad at me?¡±


    This sounded too intimate. Qiu Zhenyang frowned and looked at him sideways, feeling uncomfortable.


    ¡°After we quarreled in the mecha research class before, you ignored me.¡± Cheng An¡¯an smiled bitterly, expression a little sour. ¡°Anyway, we have been friends for a year, Qiu Zhenyang, why did you become so guarded against me all of a sudden? Did I do something wrong?¡±


    ¡°Is there a reason to ask me this now?¡± It was ridiculous. Qiu Zhenyang picked up a cookie and stuffed it into his mouth, almost spitting out because it was so unpalatable. But because he was in public, he could only swallow it with a dark face.


    Cheng An¡¯an looked a little hurt as he lowered his head and brushed the strands of hair scattered on his straight cheeks. Taking a deep breath, he said, ¡°I know it¡¯s my fault that I didn¡¯t accept you before. I¡¯m just too emotionally wary because of family problems, so I have never dared to take that step, and have to apologize to you.¡±


    ¡°Do whatever you want, your apology is your business, but not forgiving is mine. Anyway, there will be no intersection in the future, so don¡¯t think about it. That¡¯s all.¡± Qiu Zhenyang stood up impatiently, walked directly to Ling Mu¡¯s fitting room, and stood outside the fitting room to wait for him.


    After Ling Mu tried a few pieces, he couldn¡¯t say whether he was satisfied or not. He didn¡¯t know much about them, whereas Qiu Zhenyang was quite satisfied, and bought everything he had worn.


    ¡°Hey, why are you buying so much? Your birthday banquet is only for one night, right?¡± Ling Mu firmly grabbed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand with the card. These sets of clothes cost nearly one million! It¡¯s not buying clothes anymore, it¡¯s simply wasting money!


    Qiu Zhenyang lowered his head and made a move to kiss him, but Ling Mu hurriedly let go of his hand like an electric shock, and jumped away.


    ¡°Hahaha, don¡¯t be so nervous, I don¡¯t really want to do that. It¡¯s better to prepare more now, they will always be useful in the future. If you accidentally get any stains at the banquet, you can change immediately.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took advantage of the gap between Ling Mu¡¯s jump, and directly gave the card to the clerk and asked her to swipe it, without giving Ling Mu the chance to stop it.


    A store clerk laughed and teased the two of them: ¡°You guys have such a good relationship. It¡¯s rare to see alphas and omegas of your age come to buy clothes together. Most of them are alphas themselves.¡±


    Free love is common in the interstellar, but because of gender characteristics, there aren¡¯t really many alpha-omega couples who come together due to love. Many choose to get married in order to ensure the genetic perfection of their offspring, so the clerk¡¯s words weren¡¯t groundless.


    Hearing someone affirm their relationship, Qiu Zhenyang immediately raised his chest proudly. ¡°That¡¯s right! Xiao Mumu and I are very much in love with each other. How can our relationship be bad?¡±


    The clerk was even happier to see this and pulled Qiu Zhenyang in to talk.


    After carrying the clothes out, Ling Mu glared at Qiu Zhenyang several times helplessly.


    He might not be able to earn this money even after a lifetime of working!


    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t think about it, let¡¯s go and look at ties. The ties in the store just now weren¡¯t very good-looking. I¡¯ll take you to a store that specializes in them.¡± Qiu Zhenyang naturally took the bag from Ling Mu¡¯s hand, and walked to the street humming a tune.


    When the two returned to Qiu¡¯s house after shopping, Qiu Zhenyang had no less than ten bags in his hands, and together with Ling Mu¡¯s hands, there were almost fifteen. Ling Mu¡¯s reluctance was tempered by Qiu Zhenyang. Although the latter accommodated him in many ways, he would use various reasons to temper Ling Mu¡¯s actual decision, so in the end, he had the final say.


    After shopping, the pair spent the next few days reviewing class material and practicing mecha.


    Ling Mu inherited his father¡¯s advantages and is very talented in mecha. Although he has no foundation, he learns very quickly. According to Shao Ming, in the same age group, it¡¯ll be hard to find alphas that can make such big improvements like Ling Mu¡¯s in such a short period of time.


    A few days later, the two returned to school for the midterm exams.


    With Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s guidance, Ling Mu¡¯s exam went very smoothly.


    After the two-day exam, the results came out soon. Students everywhere were looking at the scores on their terminals with expressions of joy or worry.


    ¡°F*ck, Qiu Zhenyang, you¡¯re too perverted! First in all six courses? How did you take the test?¡± Yuan Chenyu sat with everyone in the milk tea shop, staring at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s name hanging on the top, face twisted as if he didn¡¯t know him at all.


    Qiu Zhenyang shrugged. ¡°I took the test with my brain.¡±


    Although the original body¡¯s grades were also very good, it definitely wasn¡¯t at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s level. After the school tyrant Qiu Zhenyang crossed over, with his extremely smart head, he directly won first place across his classes, which was really dazzling.


    Zhuo Hang patted Qiu Zhenyang on the shoulder. ¡°Now you¡¯re going to be more famous in school.¡±


    Ling Mu brought four cups of milk tea over, then sat down at the table and began to check his grades.


    ¡°How did you do?¡± Qiu Zhenyang paid more attention to Ling Mu than his own grades. After all, they did hell training for this test.


    After looking at the score sheet, Ling Mu smiled slightly and turned it to Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, the average score is more than 75, and there are no failing subjects. You did a good job, you deserve to be my target!¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes narrowed with joy, and he was obviously more excited than receiving his first ranked scores.


    It was rare for Ling Mu to show his happiness obviously. He didn¡¯t expect that with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s help, his progress would be so great!


    Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu looked at each other, and both of them shrugged helplessly.


    This guy only has his own wife in his eyes.


    ¡°By the way, thank you for helping me open the store during this time. Come to my birthday party the day after tomorrow. I will definitely entertain you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang thanked his two partners. Because milk tea is very popular, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu helped open the store while he wasn¡¯t at school. Fortunately, the process of making fried chicken and milk tea is done by the robots, and it¡¯s quite easy for them to just collect money.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± There¡¯s no need to say thanks when helping a brother out.


    Qiu Zhenyang took a sip of milk tea, remembered one thing, and then said: ¡°Also, the game thing I told you before has already been settled. My grandmother will help, and she will support the technology. If the two are interested, hurry up and prepare the funds.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang will naturally not forget this matter.


    ¡°I¡¯ll transfer it to you tomorrow.¡± Zhuo Hang was very optimistic about Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s project, and he agreed very readily. Yuan Chenyu also said that the funds would be available soon.


    After a brief chat, Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu directly home. Interstellar Academy has a one-week vacation after the midterms, and students can come and go freely, and don¡¯t need to ask for leave.


    After two days of preparation, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s birthday party finally arrived.


    Birthday party kicks off next chapter!

 CH 57

    ¡°You¡¯re dressed well today!¡±


    To celebrate the birthday of his little grandson, grandfather Qiu Ting and grandma He Ya arrived at Qiu¡¯s house early.


    As the honorary marshal of the Federation, Qiu Ting is still strong and healthy, and he is not arrogant or prideful. He has been living in the countryside with his wife, but has kept in touch with his family.


    ¡°There are so many people here today, if I don¡¯t dress better, wouldn¡¯t I be embarrassing for our family?¡± Qiu Zhenyang hugged his grandfather affectionately, and then helped his grandmother take off her hat and hand it over to the housekeeper, taking care of her half-white hair.


    ¡°Why doesn¡¯t grandmother dye her hair? Although it looks good now, dyeing it is more refreshing.¡± Qiu Zhenyang felt distressed when he looked at his grandmother¡¯s white hair. He now completely regards himself as a member of the Qiu family, and has ever-deeper affection towards these lovable and lovely family members.


    He Ya was an ordinary-born little woman, gentle and soft, not loud and uncouth. Thanks to his grandfather¡¯s devotion, she was loved for most of her life.


    Grandpa and grandma also came downstairs at this moment and warmly welcomed the two in-laws.


    ¡°Yangyang is right. I¡¯ll take you to dye your hair tomorrow. Isn¡¯t that red-brown color popular now? Let¡¯s do it together and go shopping pretty.¡±


    Grandma and grandmother have a good relationship. Together they are like a pair of little sisters, completely forgetting their spouses. However, the grandfathers also have their own entertainment options, such as fishing or rock climbing.


    ¡°Yangyang, go up and see if Xiaomu is ready. People will come in a while, and remember to bring him with you to greet the guests.¡± Grandma has a very good impression of Ling Mu, and it¡¯s clear Qiu Zhenyang likes him, so she completely treated Ling Mu as her grandson-in-law.


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang go upstairs immediately, she also shared Ling Mu¡¯s affairs with Qiu Ting and He Ya with a smile.


    ¡°Ling Mu, are you ready?¡± Qiu Zhenyang knocked on Ling Mu¡¯s door, and glanced at the time on the terminal.


    The door was opened from the inside. Ling Mu stood in the door with a tie in frustration, and a tutorial on how to tie a tie was still playing on the terminal of his wrist.


    ¡°Can¡¯t tie a tie? I¡¯ll teach you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang went in and closed the door, letting Ling Mu stand in front of him, then took the tie in his hand and started to move skillfully. He neglected this point. He bought a tie and came back without teaching Ling Mu how to tie it.


    ¡°Come around here, then tighten it up¡­ done, so handsome!¡± After helping him with the tie, Qiu Zhenyang praised with a smile. He pushed the person in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and looked in the mirror. ¡°How is it, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re radiant today?¡±


    Ling Mu glanced at him in the mirror speechlessly: ¡°What did you say?¡±


    It¡¯s kind of unfamiliar. Ling Mu has never dressed so formally before, and has never attended a gathering between high-class people. Although he didn¡¯t say it, he was still a little nervous.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you can just stay by my side tonight, and leave the rest to me.¡± Qiu Zhenyang saw Ling Mu¡¯s thoughts and immediately patted him on the shoulder. In fact, he was also very nervous. After all, he has no real experience, and only has the memories of the original body.


    After smoothing the folds on Ling Mu¡¯s shoulders, Qiu Zhenyang stretched out his hand towards him. ¡°Come on, come down with me to meet the guests.¡±


    Ling Mu looked at the hand that was stretched out towards him. The hand was wide and slender, warm and powerful. He chuckled lightly, handed himself over to Qiu Zhenyang, and was led out of the room.


    At seven o¡¯clock in the evening, the single-family villa where the Qiu family used to entertain guests was already full of people.


    Everyone was congratulating Qiu Zhenyang on his nineteenth birthday, and at the same time taking the opportunity to communicate with other people. There are not only the bosses of the military, but also leaders of the five major consortiums. Many major players are present, and everyone wants to build good relationships or make friends with them.


    Ling Mu followed Qiu Zhenyang to greet guests. Because he was not good at speaking, he could only drink a lot to relieve the embarrassment. His cheeks were flushed, but his expression was still serious.


    ¡°This should be your little grandson. Yes, high-spirited, very like you when you were young.¡± Don¡¯t know when grandma came over with a man. The man wasn¡¯t young and had a head full of white hair, but he was full of energy. And from the stern, eagle-like gaze, one can see that he¡¯s not a simple person.


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t need to think about it, he recognized that this person was head of the Third Consortium and the master of the Lin family, Mr. Lin.


    ¡°Hello, Grandpa Lin.¡± Qiu Zhenyang greeted him with a decent and elegant smile, but the abacus in his heart had already begun to move.


    Grandma and Qiu Zhenyang looked at each other, took a sip of wine and said, ¡°Lao1old man Lin, our groups have a lot of cooperative projects currently, so I thought the relationship should be good, but unfortunately¡­ It seems that it was my wishful thinking? ¡°


    Grandma has fully understood what happened to Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s family, and her bringing Lao Lin here not is also for Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s plan.


    Sure enough, after hearing Ning Yun¡¯s words, Lao Lin¡¯s eyes changed slightly. He obviously knew something.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about your unfilial son¡¯s troubles. President Ning, I¡¯m really sorry. It¡¯s because of my lack of discipline that I caused them trouble.¡± In the end, Mr. Lin has foresight. Ning Yun might not care about the many projects between them and the First Consortium, but they couldn¡¯t let them go.


    Ning Yun put the wine glass on the plate of a passing waiter, folded her arms, and said with cold eyes, ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to apologize to me, it¡¯s my grandson and grandson-in-law who were hurt. They upheld etiquette and didn¡¯t bother you elders, but now that I¡¯m here, I have to get some justice for them.¡±


    Lao Lin laughed and said, ¡°As you should, as you should. Kid, just say what conditions you have. I¡¯ll help as long as I can meet them.


    The corner of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. Facing this elder who was much stronger than himself in both style and momentum, he said without any timidity: ¡°Actually, there are no conditions. I just hope that when I use legal means to protect my rights and interests, it¡¯s enough if Grandpa Lin you don¡¯t intervene.¡±


    While this sounds fine and reasonable, Mr. Lin has been in business for a long time, and felt that something was wrong. He maintained the seemingly friendly smile on his face and did not speak, but his eyes were shining.


    He looked at Lin Zhiyuan, his third son who was socializing with an illegitimate son he had just recognized not far away, and smelled something amiss. It was obvious that Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s family already had a bad fight with the Qiu family, but they still invited them here, so there must be a trap somewhere.


    Seeing this, Ning Yun immediately spoke, showing a look of contempt: ¡°Why, what you said just now doesn¡¯t count after a few seconds? It¡¯s not like we¡¯re asking you to do something treacherous, just asking you not to interfere with these younger generations. Your attitude is completely different from when we were talking about a project earlier.¡±


    Businessmen value profits, and Mr. Lin made a decision almost immediately.


    Lin Zhiyuan didn¡¯t hold much space in his heart. Both older brothers above him were better than him. In addition, Lin Yuhan was an incompetent grandson, and Mr. Lin already had little expectations for this lineage. Now they are in trouble with the Qiu family who has financial power that no one can shake. In order to protect the interests of the entire Lin family, Mr. Lin has only one choice.


    After all, he only needs the best son to inherit the Lin family¡¯s family business. Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s family falling out of contention is just a matter of time.


    ¡°Oh President Ning, I¡¯m too old, my mind can¡¯t work so fast now. Can¡¯t I speak slowly? Hahaha, don¡¯t worry, little kid, I promise not to interfere in this matter, okay?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang grinned: ¡°Then thank you, Grandpa Lin.¡±


    After handing Lao Lin to his grandmother, Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu to find Qiu Haolin.


    ¡°Brother, how are things going?¡± Qiu Zhenyang brought Qiu Haolin to a corner, with Ling Mu following him blankly, not knowing what Qiu Zhenyang was doing.


    Qiu Haolin looked at the message on the terminal and gave Qiu Zhenyang an ¡°OK¡± gesture.


    ¡°The Federal Security Inspection Headquarters has received news and is on the way to Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s house.¡±


    ¡°Okay, let me know if you have any news.¡± Qiu Zhenyang fistbumped his brother and took Ling Mu away again.


    Ling Mu¡¯s curiosity intensified. Taking advantage of the interval when Qiu Zhenyang took him to the long table to get some snacks, he couldn¡¯t help but lower his voice and asked, ¡°What are you doing? Why mention the Lin family?¡±


    He put the dessert on a plate and handed it to Ling Mu. After he took it, he said, ¡°Do you remember Lin Yuhan using a prohibited weapon when he was fighting with me?¡±


    Ling Mu pursed his lips and nodded. Of course he remembers. Even now, he has some lingering fears about the scene at the time.


    ¡°And he hurt Ling Dang and injected you with a pheromone destroyer. You remember all this.¡±


    Ling Mu nodded again. He hated Lin Yuhan deeply, how could he forget?


    ¡°I also remember everything.¡± Qiu Zhenyang helped him straighten his tie. His eyes lowered slightly, and his tone was soft. ¡°The reason why I have never collected debts from Lin Yuhan is because I want to kill him with one blow and make him forever unable to stand up!¡±


    Regarding Lin Yuhan, and the grievances with the Lin family, Qiu Zhenyang has been suppressing himself patiently. It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to take revenge, it¡¯s that he was looking for the best time to deal a fatal blow to Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s family.


    After all, the Lin family is protected by Mr. Lin. If he takes action rashly, Mr. Lin might intervene. But the arrival of his grandma has become a decisive factor. Mr. Lin can only choose to stand by and watch given the pressures of the First Consortium, which makes it much more convenient for Qiu Zhenyang to move.


    ¡°Have you always been planning?¡± Ling Mu was a little surprised, because Qiu Zhenyang never discussed this matter with him. He was inexplicably dissatisfied, and felt unhappy that he was excluded.


    However, Qiu Zhenyang quickly grasped his emotions and held Ling Mu¡¯s hand. ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you because the exam was about to take place, and I don¡¯t want you to worry about these things. It¡¯s not too late to tell you now, nothing will officially start until tonight. Don¡¯t worry, in a few days, everything will be different.¡±


    The reason why he invited Lin Zhiyuan to his birthday party was to facilitate the police to enter Lin¡¯s house and search Lin Yuhan for contraband. Those things are not easy to get, and given how skilled he was at using them, it¡¯s obvious he has more in his hands. If Lin Zhiyuan was at home, it would be easy to hinder the cops from doing business, so Qiu Zhenyang had to send someone an invitation.


    As for whether Lin Zhiyuan will come or not, he doesn¡¯t have to worry at all.


    Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s father and two older brothers are here. As long as he is not stupid, he will definitely come. However, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t expect that Lin Zhiyuan would bring Cheng An¡¯an, let alone Lin Nuo as well. As for Lin Yuhan, Lin Zhiyuan will never let him come, wouldn¡¯t he be poking Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes?


    Ling Mu felt a little better after the explanation. He put the plate in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand and rubbed his flushed cheeks. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the bathroom, I¡¯ll be right back.¡±


    After washing his face in the bathroom, Ling Mu¡¯s head felt clearer.


    He took out a tissue and wiped his face in the mirror, recalling what Qiu Zhenyang said to him just now.


    ¡°Ling Mu.¡±


    As he was in a trance, a voice sounded behind him. Ling Mu looked through the mirror and found that Cheng An¡¯an was standing behind him.


    He was wearing a familiar suit, which was of the same brand as Ling Mu¡¯s clothes. Obviously, after Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu left that day, Cheng An¡¯an also bought clothes from that store.


    ¡°Is something wrong?¡± Facing Cheng An¡¯an, Ling Mu¡¯s attitude was always bad.


    Cheng An¡¯an smiled helplessly. ¡°Why do you always have so much malice towards me?¡±


    Tossing the tissue into the trash, Ling Mu turned to face him. ¡°Is it interesting to pretend like this? Don¡¯t you hate me too?¡±


    Cheng An¡¯an ¡®s smile froze for a while, and then disappeared. ¡°Yes, I hate you. You know that Zhenyang is with you to anger me, so why jump into this abyss?¡±


    Green tea finally shows his true face instead of being a white lotus!


    P.S. reminder for all who might¡¯ve forgotten ¨C Cheng An¡¯an is an illegitimate child from the Lin family. Yes, that Lin family.

 CH 58

    Wearing an indescribable expression, Ling Mu looked at Cheng An¡¯an as if he was a fool.


    ¡°What, don¡¯t tell me you never found out?¡± Cheng An¡¯an sneered suddenly and walked up to Ling Mu. ¡°That¡¯s right, based on your character, once you realize this, you will definitely leave Zhenyang, right?¡±


    Ling Mu snorted. Ignoring him, he turned to leave.


    ¡°What are you doing, you have a guilty conscience? Ling Mu, you like being a mistress just like your mother, don¡¯t you?¡± Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s voice was a little higher, his words were mean and angry, which was very different from his previous gentle and weak image.


    Ling Mu¡¯s footsteps stopped, his fists clenched.


    He took a deep breath and turned around with contempt in his eyes. ¡°Really Cheng An¡¯an. You didn¡¯t accept him at first, and now you come to me to sow discord. Are you so bored?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I was wrong back then!¡± Cheng An¡¯an sank. His face paled, his eyes filled with pain. ¡°But if I accepted him so soon, a genius like Qiu Zhenyang would kick me out as soon as he finished playing! What¡¯s the difference between you and me? Now that you¡¯re favored, he treats you in every possible way, and when he gets tired of you, even if you cry and beg him, he won¡¯t look back at you!¡±


    Ling Mu frowned and gave Cheng An¡¯an a deep look: ¡°It seems that you don¡¯t understand him.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand? Ha, how could I not understand? These people are all the same! Have you done it with him now? In the next month, he will definitely kick you out!¡±


    Ling Mu was disgusted listening to him.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t do it.¡± He raised his hand and stroked his short, stubborn hair, and his eyes became a little more contemptuous. ¡°And now I probably know the reason why Qiu Zhenyang gave up on you. After all, your thoughts are really hurtful enough.¡±


    Hearing Ling Mu say that Qiu Zhenyang hadn¡¯t touched him yet, Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s face turned pale.


    A mixed emotion called jealousy and regret kept growing in his heart, Cheng An¡¯an felt that his head was dizzy, and he could no longer maintain his calm attitude. He never believed that Qiu Zhenyang had really given up on him. After all, Ling Mu and him were not comparable at all. Which alpha would choose Ling Mu instead of him? Those perverts like Lin Yuhan are very rare, and Qiu Zhenyang is not one of them.


    But over the past two months, watching Qiu Zhenyang drift away, and his attitude towards Ling Mu became more real, Cheng An¡¯an panicked. Watching Qiu Zhenyang dote on Ling Mu and hearing about his deeds from other people¡¯s mouths, the unwillingness and regret in his heart grew sharply, nearly driving him crazy!


    He once enjoyed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pursuit, but now that love is easily given to others, he can¡¯t stand it!


    Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s lips trembled, and his tone suddenly softened: ¡°Ling Mu, give him back to me.¡±


    Ling Mu looked at him without saying a word. But the firmness in his eyes told Cheng An¡¯an that it was impossible.


    ¡°I followed my mother through hard times for more than ten years. Finally someone like Qiu Zhenyang loves and likes me. Why can¡¯t you be kind and give him back to me? I admit that I was wrong and didn¡¯t know how to cherish him. As long as you return him to me, I will do whatever you want!¡±


    The bathroom was very quiet, and even the music in the banquet hall outside did not penetrate in.


    Ling Mu¡¯s voice was flat in the face of his plea. ¡°No one has an easy life. It¡¯s just that you like to sell misery, while I don¡¯t.¡±


    His firm attitude made Cheng An¡¯an unhappy, as he glared at Ling Mu with clenched teeth. ¡°Qiu Zhenyang was chasing me one second ago, but the next second he¡¯s chasing you. It¡¯s already obvious, right? Why do you put your head in the ground and pretend you can¡¯t hear and pretend you can¡¯t see it? Will this so-called love really make you happy? You are not worthy of him in any way!¡±


    ¡°Happiness is between me and him. It¡¯s none of your business. If I don¡¯t deserve it, do you?¡± Ling Mu was really in no mood to chat with him, so he left with a cold snort.


    In his eyes, Cheng An¡¯an is not clear-headed, overconfident, and overly sensitive. He may appear smart, but who knows when he¡¯ll catch someone with a knife and stab them.


    When he returned to the long table, Qiu Zhenyang was staring at the food on the plate in disgust.


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Ah, sorry, that, this is really stinky.¡± Qiu Zhenyang handed the plate to the waiter in fear, and quickly took Ling Mu to the outside courtyard to breathe. ¡°That Futa dim sum is smelly, really¡­ how do other people eat it? And even think it tastes good.¡±


    Ling Mu looked at him speechlessly. ¡°Except for the recipes you provided the chef, other snacks all taste similar.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was embarrassed and sighed helplessly.


    There are a lot of people in the courtyard. Because it was originally a place for banquets or parties, there¡¯s also a large swimming pool in the courtyard. The season is approaching autumn, and it¡¯s night time, so no one went down for a swim given the cold water.


    Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu¡¯s hand and took a walk by the pool. Most of the people gathered here were young people who didn¡¯t like the social atmosphere inside. Seeing Qiu Zhenyang they immediately greeted him: ¡°Second Young Master, this is your omega?¡±


    Although there was no official announcement, Qiu Zhenyang kept hime by his side all night, and the relationship was already obvious.


    Noticing that many people around him were looking at him curiously, Qiu Zhenyang grinned, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll make an official announcement in a while. Just wait.¡±


    Although Ling Mu was a little restrained, he also worked hard to cooperate with Qiu Zhenyang, and gave everyone a stiff smile.


    Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s words still had some influence on him, Ling Mu felt Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s popularity more intuitively. He also finally realized that in love, there should be no shrinking back. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s love is bold and public, and he should no longer be timid.


    Strive to become a person worthy of him in every way!


    Everyone congratulated Qiu Zhenyang for finding his own omega. No matter what those people were thinking, at this moment, Ling Mu really felt the happiness of being blessed.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Ling Mu thanked everyone who blessed him, his smile became more and more natural. The face that used to be covered with frost for years melted like the first snow, so warm that Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help wanting to kiss him in front of everyone.


    ¡°You¡¯re very cute today.¡± After everyone chatted and stopped paying attention to them, Qiu Zhenyang turned his head to look at Ling Mu with doting eyes.


    Ling Mu lightly coughed: ¡°You don¡¯t like it?¡±


    ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I! I liked you very much before, let alone now? You have done so much for me, which only makes me happier.¡± The corners of his mouth curved into a sweet arc as Qiu Zhenyang took his hand and gently rubbed.


    ¡°I¡¯m really looking forward to going to court. I really can¡¯t wait to see those who hurt you get revenge. They must look great crying, right?¡± In a good mood, Qiu Zhenyang was even happier imagining such a thing.


    This sounded a bit perverted, but Ling Mu laughed out loud.


    Yeah, how could he possibly be unhappy?


    After taking a walk for a while, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s condition was much better after being fumigated by the dim sum just now, and he was ready to take Ling Mu back to the banquet hall again. But before they could leave, they heard a ¡°plop¡± by the pool as someone fell in.


    The two looked back and saw that the person who fell into the swimming pool splashed a lot of water, but they couldn¡¯t see who it was. From the looks of it, that person should not be able to swim.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked around. Because of the caretaker¡¯s negligence, no lifeguards were sent to guard the swimming pool. Several service staff had just gone to the kitchen to bring things, and there was no one who could go into the water to save people.


    In the end, it was his own birthday party. Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t want anything to happen, so he took off his suit jacket and shoved it into Ling Mu¡¯s hand. He ran towards the drowning person and jumped into the pool.


    Ling Mu walked over with his clothes in his arms, looked at him worriedly, and suddenly noticed the person standing next to the pool.


    It¡¯s Lin Nuo.


    Lin Nuo obviously looked flustered, but he pretended not to care, and cursed: ¡°What qualifications do you have to enter the Lin family, you can¡¯t even swim, waste!¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s hand holding his clothes tightened, He had almost guessed who fell into the water.


    Sure enough, after Qiu Zhenyang rescued the person, he immediately discovered that the person who fell into the water was Cheng An¡¯an.


    Qiu Zhenyang sat on the ground gasping for breath and brushed his soaked black hair backwards. Pool water glued his clothes tightly to his body, vaguely outlining his strong and perfect figure, making the few omegas who came to see the situation blush.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Ling Mu came over with his clothes in his arms, and was about to squat down to look at him, but Cheng An¡¯an, who was beside him, suddenly rushed towards Qiu Zhenyang.


    The unsuspecting Qiu Zhenyang was tightly wrapped around his neck, and a slender body was embedded in his arms.


    ¡°Sure enough, you are still worried about me, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    The sobbing sounded, and everyone around was stunned for a moment, and many people secretly looked at Ling Mu.


    This is really ambiguous.


    However, before Ling Mu could react, Qiu Zhenyang pushed the person away first.


    ¡°Is your head filled with water?¡± Qiu Zhenyang was about to go crazy, he immediately jumped up and brushed his chest and neck, as if trying to brush off something dirty.


    The butler had already heard the news. Looking at the soaked young master, he quickly said, ¡°Young master, hurry up and change clothes. It¡¯s cold at night, be careful of catching a cold!¡±


    The butler didn¡¯t know Cheng An¡¯an, so he said politely: ¡°This guest come with me too, I will prepare clean clothes.¡±


    Cheng An¡¯an rubbed his arms and looked at Qiu Zhenyang pitifully.


    The latter didn¡¯t look at him, instead he spread his hands angrily at the water all over his body, and confirmed with Ling Mu, ¡°Can I hug you when I get back from changing clothes? I¡¯ll never do such a stupid thing again.¡±


    He regretted saving people without seeing it clearly. Who knew it was Cheng An¡¯an.


    Ling Mu glanced at Cheng An¡¯an, who was standing beside him, and their eyes collided, creating invisible sparks. Ling Mu glanced at his mouth and hugged Qiu Zhenyang directly: ¡°If you want to hug him, no one wants you to wait.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was stunned for a moment, and a pink bubble immediately appeared above his head.


    Mom, Xiao Mumu is so good!


    He raised his hand full of heart and was about to hug him back, but Ling Mu let go and pushed his chest. ¡°Change clothes, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±


    ¡°Then your clothes¡­¡± Ling Mu hugged him just now. He had some water on his clothes.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, It¡¯ll be dry in a while, you go first.¡±


    It was indeed a bit cold with the cold evening wind. Qiu Zhenyang nodded and followed the housekeeper obediently. Cheng An¡¯an followed Qiu Zhenyang and glanced at Ling Mu before leaving.


    His eyes were sharp and evil, revealing the dark radiance of madness.


    ? Cannon fodder turning evil alert!

 CH 59

    On the way to the change room, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t give Cheng An¡¯an a look.


    The two were like complete passersby, or even strangers, because even Uncle Zhang, the housekeeper, clearly felt the unpleasant aura coming from his young master.


    He hated the omega he rescued.


    ¡°Sorry, Lin Nuo seems to be very unhappy about my being recognized by my father, so¡­¡± Cheng An¡¯an explained.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to tell me this,¡± Qiu Zhenyang kept walking, leaving only a broad and ruthless back for Cheng An¡¯an. ¡°It has nothing to do with me, I just saved a guest who fell into the water at my birthday banquet.¡±


    Cheng An¡¯an pressed his lips together, feeling his chest rise and fall violently.


    Seeing that he was in the guest room, Qiu Zhenyang went in and was about to close the door, but Cheng An¡¯an suddenly stepped forward and held Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand holding the doorknob.


    ¡°It¡¯s been more than two months. How long are you going to ignore me? Qiu Zhenyang, do you really want me to fall into despair and leave you?¡± Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s eyes were flushed. His sad and desolate appearance was distressing.


    The housekeeper opened his mouth, thinking about giving Cheng An¡¯an the key to the other room, then turned around and left.


    ¡°You must be dreaming.¡± Qiu Zhenyang felt that he was simply unreasonable. How blind must he be to have such an idea?


    Withdrawing his hand, Qiu Zhenyang wanted to close the door, but Cheng An¡¯an stepped forward and used his body to resist and would not stop talking: ¡°I don¡¯t care what you have done in the past few months. I¡¯ve been waiting for you to turn back. It was my fault before, I shouldn¡¯t have hesitated and kept hanging you. Can you give me another chance? You still like me, right?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang simply folded his arms and leaned against the door to watch a play. ¡°Which of your dead dog¡¯s eyes can see it?¡±


    Cheng An¡¯an: ¡°¡­you, since you haven¡¯t been re-engaged with Ling Mu, doesn¡¯t that mean you still miss me?¡±


    ¡°If I really still liked you, I wouldn¡¯t go after Ling Mu.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression was very serious, so serious to the point that Cheng An¡¯an couldn¡¯t believe it even if he didn¡¯t want to admit it. ¡°I don¡¯t know what kind of person you are, but I will never do such a thing to insult Ling Mu.¡±


    Their feelings are all clean. Being with one person while having someone else in his heart is an insult to the former, and the sign of a real scum!


    ¡°Cheng An¡¯an, the good days of the Lin family will only last a few more days. Think about your future more. Being with those people, you should use your brains¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang closed the door without a backwards look. Cheng An¡¯an didn¡¯t stop him anymore, and looked at the closed door with a bitter smile. ¡°It seems that you really don¡¯t have me in your heart¡­ Then, you can¡¯t blame me, Zhenyang.¡±


    After closing the door, Qiu Zhenyang went to the bathroom first. He took off her wet clothes and put on a bathrobe.


    Although the room was not usually occupied, it was very clean. He was sitting on the sofa and opened the terminal on his wrist, sighing that it was indeed high-tech, and the waterproofing was good.


    After watching for a while, there was a knock on the door, thinking it was the housekeeper with clean clothes.


    Qiu Zhenyang stood up and walked to the door to open the door, but before he could see it clearly, he was sprayed with an unknown spray on his face.


    ¡°What!¡± Qiu Zhenyang immediately ducked back, but it was too late. There was too much mist and much of it was sucked into his nose.


    He opened his eyes angrily and looked at Cheng An¡¯an who was standing in front of him holding the spray and wanted to continue spraying. Qiu Zhenyang was really pissed!


    He suddenly picked up Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s collar, gritted his teeth and roared: ¡°What did you spray? Cheng An¡¯an, do you want to die?¡±


    The person in front of him didn¡¯t cry out and threw the small bottle into Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s room with a soft smile. ¡°I advise you to hurry into the room, because it won¡¯t look good for you to do it in the corridor, though I don¡¯t care¡­¡±


    What kind of words are these?


    Qiu Zhenyang was about to vomit three liters of blood. He threw the person aside and was about to go to the doctor immediately, but as soon as his long legs took a step, he noticed a vigorous flame ignite in his body. The flames flew fast, and burned Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s whole body in an instant. Every cell in his body was screaming and venting. He needs an omega, and he needs it now!


    ¡°Something that can put you in estrus, how is the effect?¡± Cheng An¡¯an got up from the ground, his smile gradually lost control. ¡°Soon we will be able to blend in with each other, Qiu Zhenyang, you will realize how much you love me.¡±


    ¡°Love¡­ bullsh*t!¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face flushed, and angry blue veins pulsed on his forehead.


    His glands were swollen and hot, emitting pheromones uncontrollably. The corridor filled with an increasingly powerful atmosphere, squeezing the air, filling every corner, and even began spreading downstairs.


    This is the pheromone produced when a top alpha is in heat, so powerful that it is terrifying!


    Qiu Zhenyang seemed to have the illusion that he was about to burn up. He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and tried to ignore the seductive fragrance beside him, and tapped a button on the terminal with trembling hands. That is the shortcut dial key, which can directly call Ling Mu¡¯s terminal.


    It¡¯s a pity that Cheng An¡¯an quickly turned off the call just two seconds after the call was made.


    He grabbed the terminal on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s wrist, his breath was unsteady and his emotions were violent, he stared at Qiu Zhenyang in disbelief: ¡°It¡¯s already this time, and you¡¯re still thinking about that ugly bastard? Now, no one can save you except me!¡±


    Cheng An¡¯an shoved violently, pushing Qiu Zhenyang back into the room, and locked it shut.


    If it were normal, Qiu Zhenyang would definitely not let him succeed, but now all the strength in his body is used to suppress the restlessness in his body, and he can¡¯t muster the strength to guard against Cheng An¡¯an. It was the first time he knew that estrus was such a terrifying thing. He is now like a beast, and his rational part is gradually being eroded into a beast. Maybe after a while, he will really have no reason at all!


    ¡°Think about it for me¡­ I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Qiu Zhenyang slumped on the ground and roared at Cheng An¡¯an who kept approaching. He hated himself so much now, why did he invite the Lin family? Even if Mr. Lin would come out and get in the way, at most he would spend more time and energy, and he would still be able to destroy Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s lineage. Why on earth should he have sought shortcuts!


    But now it¡¯s too late to regret it, Cheng An¡¯an squatted down and looked at him with a flushed face, eyes filled with love.


    ¡°You¡¯re really awesome, just smelling this pheromone makes me unbearable¡­Why did I refuse you in the first place? I can¡¯t even figure it out myself¡­¡± He stretched out his thin white hand and stroked Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s flushed cheeks tenderly. He was obviously driven to estrus by his pheromone. ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. You¡¯re mine now.¡±


    He leaned between Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s neck and licked the sweat off his flesh passionately.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!!!¡± Qiu Zhenyang raised his head and shouted angrily, his face collapsed. This damn estrus imprisoned his whole body, and he could hardly bear it anymore!


    Reason was rapidly diminishing, Cheng An¡¯an thought it wasn¡¯t enough, knelt between Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s legs and offered the back of his white and tender neck.


    ¡°Mark me, let me smell you from the inside out¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. He tried to control himself, but his line of sight was still fixed on the skin. The body seemed to be approaching consciously, and the lips involuntarily opened, revealing slightly sharp canine teeth, gently rubbing against Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s glands.


    An expression of enjoyment appeared on Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s face, and he whispered softly, ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, I love¡­¡±


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    The loud sound of the door being knocked open made the two people in the room startled at the same time, and the person standing outside the door was startled. He stared at the situation inside in a stunned manner, unable to react for a while.


    ¡°His situation is wrong.¡± Zhuo Hang was the first to speak out, looking at Ling Mu, whose face was pale and hooded, ¡°Zhenyang seems to be forced into estrus.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu on the side covered his nose tightly and nodded.


    The two of them were brought to communicate with their parents all night, expanding their network of contacts. After finally getting a chance to breathe, they saw Ling Mu walking upstairs uneasily. After asking, they found out that Qiu Zhenyang had called him and after ringing twice, dropped, and he called back, there was no response. When they followed Ling Mu up, they smelled something wrong in the corridor, so they followed the pheromone to find the room and knocked open the door.


    Looking at Qiu Zhenyang and Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s actions, Yuan Chenyu said with a desperate look on his face: ¡°It¡¯s too late, no alpha can resist not marking in this situation. If we go over, with how he is, he¡¯ll just beat us up!¡±


    Zhuo Hang frowned at the unbearable scene. It¡¯s not that they didn¡¯t want to go in, nor that they were afraid of being beaten by Qiu Zhenyang, but that his pheromone was too strong and domineering. Just standing at the door had already made the two of them stiff, fearful, and faintly nauseous. If they went inside, they wouldn¡¯t be stand the mental and physical symptoms!


    The two of them looked at Ling Mu at the same time, panicking in their hearts.


    The person standing at the door with tense cheeks walked in step by step. There seemed to be heavy shackles on his feet. The picture reflected in his eyes made his heart hurt so much.


    Yuan Chenyu watched worriedly, Zhuo Hang patted his shoulder, gritted his teeth and endured.


    Just when the two people¡¯s worries reached their peak, an unexpected situation happened.


    Qiu Zhenyang in the room smashed his fist on the ground, and his hands were dripping with blood. He stiffened his body and pulled back, suppressing his instincts too much, which made the corners of his mouth bleed and became unconscious.


    This action seemed to give Ling Mu a signal, all the hesitation disappeared in an instant. Qiu Zhenyang gave his heart a preventive shot, it was the best medicine called love and loyalty! Ling Mu¡¯s pace was no longer slow, but rushed forward, pulling on Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s clothes and beating him hard!


    ¡°Ah! Ahhh!¡±


    A miserable cry of pain sounded in the room, and the dull sound of fisting to the flesh was horrifying.


    Ling Mu¡¯s red eyes and cold face mechanically pressed on Cheng An¡¯an and beat him. He had never beaten someone so hard before, as if he was going to beat someone to death, he was merciless!


    After a while, Cheng An¡¯an was beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. There were bloodstains on his face, and there was no trace of his beautiful face intact, blood was soaked in his weakly open mouth, and many slipped down the corners of his mouth.


    Ling Mu¡¯s fist continued, tears welling up in his eyes, but he couldn¡¯t hold back. If it hadn¡¯t happened today, Ling Mu might not have known that Qiu Zhenyang already had such a high position in his heart. He can¡¯t wait to beat Cheng An¡¯an to death, so that he can no longer appear in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s world!


    ¡°No, he¡¯s going to have an accident!¡±


    Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu were both in a hurry. They ran to the stairs and hurriedly called the hospital. Before they went upstairs, they had already found someone to notify Qiu Haolin, but because they didn¡¯t expect such a situation, they didn¡¯t bother finding a beta or any elders. I really regret it now!


    Ling Mu had completely lost his mind. Cheng An¡¯an, who was under him, went from screaming in agony to being weak, and gradually closed his eyes and passed out.


    Even so, Ling Mu¡¯s fists did not stop falling


    All his worries, anger, fear, resentment, pain, they all all turned into strength as his fists rained down non-stop!


    ¡°Ling Mu¡­¡±


    His body stopped when he heard a murmur, Ling Mu raised his fist and looked sideways, met Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes that had already started to sag, and the tears that had been unwilling to fall finally fell.


    ¡°It¡¯s not worth it¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was almost at a loss for words. A normal estrus alpha wouldn¡¯t be so painful. He felt like a needle was stabbing him all over his body, and the pain was unbearable. But even so, he still shook his head at Ling Mu with the greatest strength.


    Killing him and ruining his future is not worth it.


    Ling Mu burst into tears, staggered and ran over to Qiu Zhenyang and hugged him tightly.


    ¡°Mark me, don¡¯t hold back, you will die!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang breathed the scent belonging to Ling Mu, and the body that had been resisting finally began to soften. But he didn¡¯t dare to move, so he could only say in an angry voice, ¡°Wait for the doctor, I can¡¯t bear it anymore, I can¡¯t stop at just a mark¡­¡±


    Ling Mu hugged him even tighter. When he came over and smelled Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s strong pheromones, his legs were weak and he was about to enter estrus. It was just the strong hatred that supported him to beat Cheng An¡¯an halfway to death. At this moment, he cried: ¡°Don¡¯t bear it, I am yours, you can have me at any time!¡±


    These words made Qiu Zhenyang gasp for breath. With a bang, the full force of the reaction exploded!


    ¡°Zhenyang!¡±


    Qiu Haolin finally arrived. Seeing the current situation, he came in and dragged Cheng An¡¯an away without saying a word. Before leaving, he left a sentence: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll see to the rest.¡±


    Once the door closed, all restraint vanished. The beast in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart broke through the cage and slammed Ling Mu to the ground.


    He leaned closer to Ling Mu¡¯s neck and couldn¡¯t wait to sniff it. The hot tip of his tongue chased after the seductive glands, and he bit down without hesitation.


    Ling Mu grunted and hugged the person to his body tightly.


    ¡°Come, I¡¯ll accompany you.¡±


    Now it¡¯s not Mumu in estrus, it¡¯s QZY!

    Although he agreed to accompany him, if Ling Mu knew that Qiu Zhenyang would toss him for a whole week, he would definitely choose to wait for the doctor to come!


    Three days after it began, Ling Mu couldn¡¯t hold it anymore.


    With his alpha in estrus, Ling Mu was also driven to enter estrus. But generally speaking, an omega¡¯s estrus only lasted three days. After three days they would be exhausted and need to rest. But who knew that from the first night to the morning of the fourth day, Qiu Zhenyang was like a perpetual motion machine, and kept holding Ling Mu and asking for it!


    ¡°You stop¡­I, I can¡¯t do it anymore, Qiu Zhenyang!¡±


    The room was in a mess, and their pheromones were intertwined and blended, extremely intense.


    A slender big hand held Ling Mu¡¯s slightly thin palm. Qiu Zhenyang pressed against his back and licked the sweat, his voice was sexy and hoarse: ¡°Shh, I¡¯m not well yet, one more time and I¡¯ll let you rest.¡±


    ¡°One time, what the hell! Have you ever stopped besides eating and going to the toilet? Didn¡¯t you say that several times before?¡±


    Ling Mu was about to explode with anger, he grabbed the sheets and wanted to crawl to the side, but he was pressed down on the bed. The person on his body is too heavy, and his physical strength was too exhausted to do anything.


    Three whole days! He was so tired that he couldn¡¯t even cry!


    ¡°I won¡¯t lie to you, I¡¯ll let you sleep this time¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang hugged his beloved omega and kissed him. He also grabbed his arm and turned him over gently, kissing Ling Mu¡¯s red and swollen eyes from crying in distress. This kind of gentle touch can give omega a sense of security, and Qiu Zhenyang likes it very much.


    Their first time was not perfect. Cheng An¡¯an made him unable to give Ling Mu a good memory. Although he tried his best to be gentle, the effect of the medicine was really difficult to subdue. He did his best to endure, but it also caused Ling Mu some damage.


    But it doesn¡¯t matter, they will have a second, third, nth time in the future, and he¡¯ll give Ling Mu a better experience each time! He is confident that he can cover this imperfect experience. The future is still very long, and there are still many things in life to look forward to! The same goes for bedsports!


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t have the energy to care about Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s thoughts.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s kiss was very gentle. He closed his eyes and gradually forgot the intensity before, enjoying it silently, and was about to fall asleep¡­


    Seeing his lover¡¯s long eyelashes fluttering, with traces of himself all over his body as he lay in his arms defenselessly, little Qiu Zhenyang saluted immediately. His eyes were dark and deep, and his evil grip reached Ling Mu¡­


    ¡°En~¡­ Qiu Zhenyang! Why are you coming in again! You bastard!¡±


    Just like that, Ling Mu still didn¡¯t fall asleep, but was brought into a new round of intense sports.


    On the seventh day, Ling Mu was paralyzed on the bed with his eyes blank, staring at the ceiling, not knowing what day it was.


    ¡°Come on, drink nutritional supplements before going to bed.¡± Qiu Zhenyang closed the door in a pair of loose sweatpants and came in, holding some messy things in his hand. His bare upper body was dotted with fresh water vapor after taking a bath, and there were many messy scratches on his white and strong muscles.


    Qiu Zhenyang sent a message to his mother immediately after his estrus ended, and asked her to prepare some things. He brought them in when he went to the door just now. During this week of estrus, his mother helped send things, such as nutritional supplements and water, to help Ling Mu from becoming too exhausted.


    Ling Mu frowned and didn¡¯t want to pay attention to him. He simply closed his eyes and pursed his lips tightly without speaking.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed, holding him in his arms. With one hand, he brought the nutritional supplement to his mouth and opened the lid with his teeth. With the other hand, he raised Ling Mu¡¯s chin with two fingers. The nutrient solution was brought to his lips and poured into his mouth little by little. The nutrient solution has a small opening and is very convenient to drink, otherwise Qiu Zhenyang would definitely use direct mouth-to-mouth feeding to pass the nutrient solution¡­


    Ling Mu closed his eyes and swallowed. After experiencing this countless times this week, he is already completely used to it now.


    After drinking the nutrient solution, Qiu Zhenyang wiped the corners of his mouth, then carried the person back to the bed and covered him with the quilt.


    As soon as the quilt fell down, Ling Mu reacted and kicked the quilt away.


    ¡°Hot.¡± He muttered unhappily, turning over and lying on the bed with difficulty.


    His butt is the hardest hit area, and it¡¯s uncomfortable to just lie down!


    Seeing Ling Mu grimacing in pain, Qiu Zhenyang touched his nose with a guilty conscience, picked up the ointment beside him, and carefully read the instructions.


    ¡°Squeeze an amount of three to five centimeters into the palm of your hand, use the temperature of your palm to dissolve the ointment, then apply it to the wound, spread it carefully, and then¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang read it out in order to deepen his impression.


    ¡°Can you stop talking!¡± Ling Mu was about to explode. Did this guy do it on purpose? Just read it, no need to say it out loud!


    Qiu Zhenyang fell silent, not daring to speak again.


    The wife who has been asked for too much can¡¯t be offended¡­


    After reading the instructions, Qiu Zhenyang carefully knelt on the bed and pulled down Ling Mu¡¯s underwear. The underwear had just been put on shortly after Qiu Zhenyang helped him take a bath, and was taken off again.


    Terrified, Ling Mu stretched his hand back to hold down his pants, and looked at Qiu Zhenyang in warning. ¡°If you still dare to do it, I will beat you to death!¡±


    In just seven days, he has spent all the trust value Ling Mu had in him! But he can¡¯t be blamed fully. After all, the effect of the drug is too great, and he hardly had much control over the first three days. As for the next four days¡­cough, isn¡¯t he addicted to eating and can¡¯t bear to let go? And as a top alpha, his estrus period is long, which is forgivable!


    Now that the estrus passed, Qiu Zhenyang only felt huge regret and guilt when he saw Ling Mu¡¯s tragic state. Now, he can only meticulously take care of him.


    After another three days of rest, Ling Mu finally came back to life. This was largely due to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s grandfather who personally prepared a lot of restorative medicines. As an excellent pharmacist, he was quite handy at various medicines. After learning about his grandson¡¯s situation, he equipped him with a lot of various types of medicines.


    When the two finally walked out of the guest room, Ling Mu let out a long breath.


    He really didn¡¯t want to step into this villa again!


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, go home, pack up and go to school tomorrow.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu¡¯s hand and led him downstairs.


    Except for going back to take the exam in the middle, the two of them had taken half a month of leave, and their schoolwork had fallen a lot. However, Qiu Zhenyang is a master of learning. He can make up for the half-month course with a lot of hard work, and also helped Ling Mu as well.


    When they returned to Qiu¡¯s house, mother and grandma were sitting in the living room drinking afternoon tea. They looked at Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu who walked in the door in unison, and smiled.


    The corners of Ling Mu¡¯s mouth twitched before he shouted awkwardly, ¡°Aunt Qin, Grandma Ning.¡±


    ¡°Still calling me auntie?¡± Zhu Qin pursed his lips, stood up, walked a few steps to Ling Mu, grabbed his hand from Qiu Zhenyang, and rubbed it. ¡°Oh, you two are already at this stage. Apart from the wedding, everything is already the same. You should change to calling me mom!¡±


    Ning Yun also came over and smiled. ¡°Yeah, call me grandma in the future. If Yangyang, this kid, dares to bully you, come and complain to me. I will definitely teach him a lesson!¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s face flushed, and his heart was warm as spring when he was shy.


    He raised a big smile, brilliant to the extreme, as vigorous as his pheromone, the sunflower, full of longing for the future.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at him beside him, and was very happy. He didn¡¯t care that his mother and grandmother were on Ling Mu¡¯s side.


    ¡°Okay, we¡¯re going to school tomorrow, let Ling Mu talk to Ling Dang first. They haven¡¯t seen each other for almost ten days. Where¡¯s Ling Dang?¡± Remembering that Ling Mu hadn¡¯t seen his sister for a long time, Qiu Zhenyang immediately asked.


    ¡°Ling Dang hasn¡¯t finished school yet. What time is it? I¡¯ll pick her up in an hour.¡± Ling Dang went to school on the first day they were locked together, and has gone to and from the school with Zhu Qin personally. She always liked Ling Dang, and also likes the task of picking up children.


    Hearing this, Ling Mu immediately said: ¡°I¡¯ll go later, auntie, er, mom¡­ can you take me with you later?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s eyes brightened. Although her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were full of anticipation and joy that couldn¡¯t deceive anyone.


    ¡°Of course, let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you there first. Let¡¯s go for a stroll along the way.¡± Zhu Qin wanted to exchange feelings with her son-in-law immediately, so she hooked Ling Mu¡¯s hand and went out.


    Watching them leave, Qiu Zhenyang walked to the sofa and sat down, poured a glass of water and took a sip, and asked grandma, ¡°Where¡¯s grandpa?¡±


    Ning Yun also came over and sat face to face with her grandson. ¡°He went fishing with your grandfather. Your grandmother wanted to go out for a walk, so she followed. It¡¯s too sunny outside, so I¡¯ll just stayed to chat with your mother.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang nodded and chatted about the business again: ¡°Grandma, how is the game project that I told you about before?¡±


    Before going back to school for the exam last time, Qiu Zhenyang had already handed the plan over. His grandmother immediately sent the information to several subordinates she trusted, and let them begin researching. As for the technical staff, Qiu Zhenyang had online conversations to select them, so everything was very fast.


    ¡°The rough model of the game has already come out. You can start testing it in a few days. I¡¯ll send a game warehouse to the school so you can try it yourself.¡± After all, it is her grandson¡¯s project, and Ning Yun is also very concerned about it.


    At this moment, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help but sigh at Interstellar technology. The speed of making games is simply against the sky!


    Although he chose a large production team of nearly 1,000 people in order to speed up the process, the interviews alone almost made him collapse. But it was awesome that such a large-scale holographic game can be made in such a short period of time.


    ¡°Okay, if you have any questions, just ask the person in charge of the team to contact me.¡± Qiu Zhenyang felt very comfortable. Sure enough, in a family with a background, anything is easy. Just hand in an idea and plan, and one can see results in the shortest time possible.


    ¡°By the way, grandma, what happened to Cheng An¡¯an after he was dragged out by older brother that day?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t worry about him, but wanted to understand the situation so that he could deal with the follow-up.


    Grandma¡¯s expression changed a bit at the mention. She clicked on her terminal to search around, and then handed it to Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°You can see for yourself.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s intuition was not good. He leaned over to take a look, and there was an enlarged and clear picture directly on the webpage. It was the same picture of him almost biting Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s gland that night!

 CH 61

    The moment Qiu Zhenyang glanced at the title and content, his eyes sank instantly.


    ¡°Forced marking? Oh, that¡¯s really interesting.¡±


    There is a picture at the beginning, and the content is all made up.


    The picture should have been taken indoors. Given the clarity and accurate timing, it seems that Cheng An¡¯an had a plan from the start. Looking back now, Qiu Zhenyang did remember that Cheng An¡¯an seemed to have opened his terminal before entering the door. This scene should have been recorded by the panoramic camera function


    He really underestimated this guy.


    ¡°That night, your brother took him out and sent him to a hospital, but Lin Zhiyuan found an opportunity to take him away late at night. Later, because you and Ling Mu couldn¡¯t come forward, we posted an announcement revealing the news that you and Ling Mu are dating on your social platforms first. Most people believed it originally, but two days ago, it was revealed that Cheng An¡¯an went to wash the mark, so the whole thing exploded.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang clicked on his terminal, and sure enough, there was a lot of news. The hottest one was about Cheng An¡¯an washing the mark. There were even some people who said that they were the nurses of the hospital and posted the pictures they took. In the photo, Cheng An¡¯an was haggard and pitiful. Although the glands on the back of his neck were scabbed and healing, it was still very tragic.


    Qiu Zhenyang narrowed his eyes and followed the time to check the context of the whole thing. He found that the ¡®forced mark¡¯ photo was sent out the second day after the banquet. Interestingly, the other piece of news that broke out was that in the home of Lin¡¯s second son, Lin Zhiyuan, were many prohibited items.


    Some enthusiastic netizens did a news collection and comparison, and found that after the news of prohibited substances appeared, the hot search was removed within three hours, and many marketing accounts were also deleted, and almost no relevant news could be found. Although there are still netizens who are constantly inquiring, trying to make it top the hot search again, when the ¡°forced marking¡± of marshal¡¯s son appeared the next day, everyone¡¯s attention was instantly diverted.


    Grandma took a sip of tea. ¡°Haolin has already told us about you two. This time Lin Yuhan was taken away by the security department for custody, but Lin Zhiyuan insisted that the rest of them did not know about it. It was all done by Lin Yuhan, so he has been released on bail. Without conclusive evidence, he will be jumping around for a while, and those things on the Internet are probably caused by Lin Zhiyuan.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang nodded, having almost figured out the situation.


    ¡°I have already suppressed news about the forced marking. Lao Lin is still honest, and did not go back on his promise, so Lin Zhiyuan didn¡¯t come out on top this time. I was focused on having people stir up the previous contraband news and the forced marking, so he couldn¡¯t hype it up, and the situation wasn¡¯t serious.¡±


    With his grandmother around, Qiu Zhenyang naturally didn¡¯t worry. After all, she was a master at marketing.


    ¡°However, although the news online was suppressed, the relevant departments may come to trouble you.¡± Grandma reminded him. After all, forced marking is illegal, especially on Capital Star where the Omega Association will pay special attention. But because the veracity of the news has not been confirmed and Qiu Zhenyang is the son of the marshal, they can only wait until they have approval before approaching Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Okay, then let them come.¡± Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t care, he was not afraid of shadows.


    Grandma sighed with emotion. ¡°This Lin Zhiyuan is also very powerful. He even made the first move and let someone come to drug you.¡±


    If the forced marking had not diverted the public¡¯s attention, news of Lin¡¯s prohibited items would not have been suppressed so quickly.


    ¡°No, that photo should just be Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s own idea.¡± Qiu Zhenyang rubbed his fingers, his eyes were cold. ¡°He didn¡¯t know that security would come over that night, or he would have done more. Cheng An¡¯an should have did it himself, but it happened to be discovered by Lin Zhiyuan and used as a shield.¡±


    ¡°What exactly does Cheng An¡¯an want?¡± Grandma asked, not knowing what happened between Qiu Zhenyang and Cheng An¡¯an before.


    ¡°Who knows.¡±


    Thinking of what happened that night, Qiu Zhenyang felt disgusted and didn¡¯t want to mention it at all. What else could Cheng An¡¯an want to do? It¡¯s just that he regretted it after losing him, and wanted to use special means to force him to be with him. He still remembered that in the original text, Cheng An¡¯an suffered a lot of crimes when he first entered the Lin family.


    Qiu Zhenyang used the terminal to make a video call to Qiu Haolin.


    ¡°Zhenyang.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled when he saw his brother sitting in the office wearing a military uniform in the video. ¡°Brother¡¯s handsome, ah.¡±


    Amused by his younger brother, Qiu Haolin reluctantly lifted his military cap. Seeing that he was in good spirits, he smiled: ¡°How is Xiaomu, is there any problem?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯s alright!¡± Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, showing a little guilty conscience, that is, the back pain is more severe¡­


    After exchanging greetings, Qiu Zhenyang started the main topic: ¡°Brother, when is the court going to accept the matter of Lin Yuhan?¡±


    Qiu Haolin flipped through the documents at hand. ¡°A month later, although Lin Zhiyuan said that it was all done by Lin Yuhan, the relevant departments are still conducting in-depth investigations, after all, Lin Yuhan is not that big and able to procure such contraband. I found some clues and am still going through it.¡±


    ¡°Okay, and the star field monitoring. You¡¯ve worked hard to help me get the monitoring video of that day.¡±


    The star field monitor is the means used by the Capital Star to monitor the situation all over the planet. Basically anything that happens outdoors can be scanned and recorded. Ling Dang¡¯s near drowning by the scumbag Lin Yuhan happened outside, and the cameras should have captured it.


    Qiu Zhenyang will find all the evidence and expose it in court, so that Lin Yuhan will never recover!


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there are people over there who are investigating, and there should be results soon.¡±


    ¡°Okay, then thank you brother, I¡¯ll hang up first.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Qiu Zhenyang went to have someone call the housekeeper again. .


    ¡°Uncle Zhang, is there surveillance on the corridor on the second floor in the villa where I held the birthday banquet?¡±


    The butler nodded immediately: ¡°Young master, if you need them, I will have someone bring them out.¡±


    After all, the banquet villa has to accommodate many high-ranking officials, nobles, and important existences. Not finding any clues after the accident is ridiculous; there are surveillance cameras installed in many places.


    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll trouble you.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang watched the housekeeper leave, and said silently in his heart: This time, Cheng An¡¯an won¡¯t be given another chance to turn over.


    Lin Zhiyuan should have taken the person away after noticing something. After Lin Yuhan¡¯s affairs were revealed, he could only ask Cheng An¡¯an for leverage, and got the picture. Now as long as the surveillance is called out, Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s crimes will be made public! He can no longer be used to shield the Lin family!


    ¡°You¡¯ve matured a lot. I wanted to ask if we need help from us elders, but now it seems that you are able to handle it on your own.¡± Grandma sat on the sofa and watched Qiu Zhenyang deal with these things quietly. It¡¯s very logical, and she can¡¯t help but feel relieved.


    As an elder, instead of blocking everything in front of these children, it is better to put some decision-making power in their hands, so that they can gradually grow up solving problems.


    Qiu Zhenyang grinned and poured another cup of tea for her. ¡°Our family has many talented people, and I can¡¯t drag us back. I will try my best to solve my things. Grandma, just watch!¡±


    Hearing the words of her little grandson, Ning Yun was instantly happy, so happy that her eyes curved.


    After the family had a warm meal in the evening, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went to school the next morning.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there will be no problem with Ling Dang. My mother will pick her up.¡± Along the way, Qiu Zhenyang looked at the absent-minded Ling Mu, and could not help but go forward to comfort him.


    Because Zhu Qin likes Ling Dang very much, and is worried that she will encounter another accident of being taken away by Dong Qiulan again, she discussed with the Ling siblings to bring Ling Dang to live in Qiu¡¯s house, and Zhu Qin will be responsible for bringing her to and from school.


    This choice is the best and safest for Ling Dang. Ling Mu has no reason to refuse. He believed that Ling Dang will get the best treatment in the Qiu family, and Zhu Qin will treat her like a daughter.


    But he and his sister have been dependent on each other for so many years, and suddenly separated, so Ling Mu still felt a little melancholy.


    ¡°Well, I know, I¡¯m just a little reluctant.¡± Ling Mu habitually rubbed the tender flesh around his waist. Although he had rested for three or four days, many parts of his body were still sore.


    Thinking of who the culprit was, Ling Mu instantly glared at Qiu Zhenyang.


    Qiu Zhenyang pursed his lips innocently, and folded his hands together in a gesture of please.


    Chatting casually, the pair finally arrived at the school. They said goodbye to Uncle Zhang and left the aircraft and walked to the campus.


    Today is Wednesday. Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu arrived early, and it took a long time to put things back in the dormitory. Thinking that Ling Mu was in a bad mood in the morning because he was going to separate with Ling Dang and didn¡¯t eat anything, Qiu Zhenyang brought him to the cafeteria to eat something. After breakfast, the two were unhindered as they walked to the classroom. After Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu all the way to the classroom, they found that there were not many people in the classroom.


    ¡°There¡¯s still half an hour before class, we¡¯re too early.¡± Qiu Zhenyang yawned sleepily. He and Ling Mu belonged to the same group in the mecha practice class, and sat at their group¡¯s table. Thinking of the long wait, Qiu Zhenyang simply lay down on the table to nap.


    Ling Mu saw that he was asleep, so he took out the book from his bag and looked at the lessons left in the first half of the month.


    After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding noise gradually grew louder, waking Qiu Zhenyang from his sleep.


    ¡°Class started?¡± Qiu Zhenyang squinted his eyes and raised his head from his arms sleepily.


    ¡°Not yet, you can sleep a little longer.¡± Ling Mu glanced at the time and found that there were still more than ten minutes. After speaking to Qiu Zhenyang, he returned to reading his book.


    There was time, but it was so noisy that Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t sleep.


    He yawned as he stretched, but when he stretched out, he found that the surrounding voices were suddenly much quieter. Qiu Zhenyang thought it was the teacher who was here, his half-squinted eyes opened, and his stretching action suddenly froze.


    What teacher, those talkers discovered he was awake, so they stopped discussing and looked at him instead.


    Qiu Zhenyang withdrew his hand, frowned and asked an alpha next to him, ¡°What are you looking at?¡±


    The alpha looked a little embarrassed. He didn¡¯t respond, but looked at another person at the same table ¨C Cheng An¡¯an.


    Oh, this guy even came to school?


    Qiu Zhenyang thought that he was beaten so miserably that night that he would have to rest for at least a month or two. Also, didn¡¯t he say he washed off the mark two days ago? An omega¡¯s body will be very weak after washing the mark. Is it really okay for him to come to school now?


    However, whether there is a problem or not, it is none of his business anyway.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his shoulders, rested his elbows on the table, raised his chin with his hands, and turned to look at Ling Mu.


    When everyone saw Qiu Zhenyang look at Cheng An¡¯an, they expected something to happen, but were disappointed when nothing happened.

 CH 62

    Ji Qing, who had a good relationship with Cheng An¡¯an, couldn¡¯t help questioning Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°Are the photos online real? You¡¯re shameless! Forcibly marking An¡¯an, but still pretending it had nothing to do with you?¡±


    Someone in the same group advised: ¡°Ji Qing, things haven¡¯t been verified yet. No one in the Omega Association has blamed Qiu Zhenyang. Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡±


    But Ji Qing was not convinced. ¡°How am I talking nonsense? An¡¯an has gone to wash the mark! Didn¡¯t a nurse send out the photo of him beforehand? Such a terrible wound, if it was not a forced marking, why would he do something so painful?¡±


    Wang Shuo, who was in the same group and had issues with Qiu Zhenyang, supported Ji Qing. ¡°That¡¯s right, everyone knows how embarrassing this kind of thing is for an omega. How can Qiu Zhenyang do this to people? Besides, the Omega Association can¡¯t resist the Qiu family¡¯s background, which is why it¡¯s been suppressed.¡±


    Many students in the class listened in, eating melons. Some people think it¡¯s absurd and not true, while some others believed that Qiu Zhenyang hurt Cheng An¡¯an.


    Ling Mu turned the pen in his hand, suppressing the anger in his heart, and did not speak.


    Qiu Zhenyang heard Wang Shuo put a hat on his head, and leaned back on the chair with his arms folded on his chest.


    ¡°Cheng An¡¯an, how long do you think you can hide it?¡±


    He looked at Cheng An¡¯an coldly, with a hint of mockery in his tone.


    Cheng An¡¯an quickly lowered his head, with a slightly panicked expression of fear. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. If it¡¯s about that thing¡­ I really can¡¯t forgive you, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Between the unhealed wounds from being beaten by Ling Mu and the pain of washing the mark, Cheng An¡¯an lost a lot of weight in a few days. At this moment, his haggard and pitiful posture made many people feel pity.


    Wang Shuo immediately squeaked up to help: ¡°Who are you trying to scare! Let me tell you, this is the school, not your Qiu family! It¡¯s useless if you want to forcefully control people!¡±


    Although the Qiu family has a strong background, great power is also constrained, which is why Wang Shuo dared to provoke them again and again.


    As the son of the marshal, any extreme actions Qiu Zhenyang made would reflect badly on his father and brother.


    ¡°This matter has nothing to do with you, why are you interfering?¡± Qiu Zhenyang was really tired of Wang Shuo. If changing groups wasn¡¯t prohibited, Qiu Zhenyang would have taken Ling Mu to another group already. ¡°Word of advice, don¡¯t make a fool of yourself until things are clear, otherwise it¡¯ll be ugly when you¡¯re slapped in the face.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, you should take care of yourself first. When your forced marking is confirmed, we¡¯ll see how long you stay in prison!¡± Wang Shuo spat out harshly. He was a little flustered at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words, but he continued to feign calm. After all, Cheng An¡¯s looks like that now; how could he lie?


    Qiu Zhenyang nodded without a smile, and stopped arguing with him.


    It wasn¡¯t until one minute before the class that the class slowly became quiet, but everyone¡¯s eyes were still on the two protagonists, intentionally or unintentionally.


    Surprisingly, halfway through the morning class, someone came to the school to look for Qiu Zhenyang.


    A few omegas in uniform came directly to knock on the door and communicated with the teacher. After obtaining permission, they called Qiu Zhenyang out. ¡°We are members of the Omega Association, please come out with us to assist in an investigation.¡±


    The class burst into uproar.


    Wang Shuo even looked at Qiu Zhenyang with provocative eyes, with a ¡°you¡¯re done¡± expression.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows. He didn¡¯t expect that the people from the Omega Association would arrive quickly.


    Qiu Zhenyang turned his head and said to Ling Mu, ¡°If I haven¡¯t come back after class, you go back first. If you have any trouble, go to Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu. I¡¯ll send them a text later.¡± Qiu Zhenyang got up with his backpack, ready to go to the door.


    Feeling a sudden tug on his sleeve, Qiu Zhenyang stopped and looked at Ling Mu inquiringly.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Ling Mu wanted to say something, but he didn¡¯t know how to say it, so he could only solemnly frown and hold on to his sleeve.


    Seeing his tangled expression, Qiu Zhenyang could guess what he meant. Heart warm, he raised his hand and rubbed Ling Mu¡¯s head: ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    Hearing what he said, not matter how worried Ling Mu was, he could only let go of him.


    ¡°Chen An¡¯an, please come with us.¡± After Qiu Zhenyang walked out, those people called Cheng An¡¯an over as well. The latter pursed his lower lip and stood up and went out together.


    After this mess, none of the students were in the mood to attend class. They didn¡¯t listen to what the teacher said at all, and only fumbled around to pass messages on their terminals.


    After Qiu Zhenyang followed them out, he was taken directly to an empty classroom. Cheng An¡¯an was taken to another classroom, and the two were questioned separately.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, regarding whether you forcibly marked an omega, we will conduct the interrogation directly here. For the sake of fairness and justice, the interrogation process will be broadcast live on all platforms. Please be prepared.¡± They wanted to bring him out of the school, but the school said that in order to ensure the safety of all students, they would only allow the proceedings to happen on school grounds.


    Seeing several interrogators looking at him with hostility, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Although he can understand that these omegas hate some unruly alphas, but when the truth has not surfaced, there is no need to hate himself so much, right?


    Qiu Zhenyang sighed in his heart, but didn¡¯t say much, just nodded in agreement.


    An interrogator set up the live broadcast machine and projected the live broadcast onto the wall by the way. Then five interrogators sat in a row opposite Qiu Zhenyang, and the live broadcast began.


    ¡°A message appeared online earlier, claiming that Qiu Zhenyang, the second son of Marshal Qiu Zhang, forcibly marked an omega. In response to this incident, we are now conducting a serious interrogation, and everything you say will be recorded. Please tell the truth.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang glanced at the screen on the wall, and found that the number of people in the live broadcast room was increasing at a crazy rate, and the barrage began to surge.


    [What else are you asking, just handcuff people up and put him in the interstellar prison!]


    [The omega¡¯s mark-washing thing has been confirmed by a nurse. He didn¡¯t dare fart for so many days, and must have a guilty conscience. What else is there to ask!]


    [Interstellar Prison!]


    [This kind of scum who forcefully marked an omega should be shot! Regardless of whether he is the son of the marshal or not, with such a background, he should lead by example! The prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people!]


    The barrage exploded, condemning Qiu Zhenyang. Some netizens even launched a vote in the live broadcast room, asking if they wanted Qiu Zhenyang to go to the interstellar prison. In just 30 seconds, the votes reached 6:1:3, 60% agree, 10% reject, 30% abstain.


    Qiu Zhenyang watched with relish, not even hearing what the interrogator said. The one in the middle knocked on the table to bring Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s attention back.


    ¡°Sorry, I zoned out for a bit, what are you asking about?¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled, looking very relaxed.


    The interrogator rolled his eyes, suppressed his anger and asked again: ¡°May I ask if you invited the victim on the night of your birthday party?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang shrugged: ¡°I didn¡¯t invite him, I just sent the invitation to the Lin family. Who knew he would come?¡±


    The interrogator choked for a moment, and continued to ask: ¡°Then may I ask if it¡¯s true that you forcibly marked the victim that night?¡±


    ¡°False, I didn¡¯t mark him.¡± Qiu Zhenyang folded his arms across his chest, with a relaxed attitude.


    In the barrage, netizens exploded at his laissez-faire attitude of acting as if it had nothing to do with him. This kind of interrogation live broadcast room requires a real-name system. When Qiu Zhenyang saw several familiar names on the barrage, he immediately raised his brows, wanting to laugh.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t? Then how do you explain this picture?¡± The interrogator released the picture of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth close to Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s gland with a serious expression. ¡°We have asked professionals to identify this picture, and there are no traces of falsification. How do you explain it?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at the photo, and remembered Ling Mu crying and beating Cheng An¡¯an that night.


    At that time, Ling Mu¡¯s angry look was frightening, but in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes, he was so cute and pitiful. It was the most simple and easy-to-understand expression of Ling Mu¡¯s love, showing that he has him in his heart, and is heavy and deep.


    ¡°The picture is real.¡± Qiu Zhenyang said lightly.


    The barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded.


    [Look, I said he did it, that¡¯s right!]


    [This scum is too embarrassed to say it, it¡¯s shameless! I beg the interrogators to escort him to prison quickly, there is no need to continue the interrogation.]


    [Interstellar Prison +1.]


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled at the barrage: ¡°However, I didn¡¯t bite down.¡±


    The five interrogators looked at each other in stunned surprise.


    A short-haired female interrogator frowned and said a little excitedly: ¡°This is impossible! In the photo, the back of your neck is red, and your eyes are not quite right. You¡¯re obviously in estrus, and there is no alpha that can resist biting down on an omega¡¯s glands in estrus! Not to mention that you have already made a gesture of biting, how can you hold back!¡±


    The other four interrogators nodded repeatedly, clearly agreeing.


    There are also people who agree on the barrage, and there are constantly ¡°+1¡± comments.


    ¡°Oh, how do you know that there is no alpha that can resist? As far as I know, there should be no similar experiments in the whole interstellar space, right? Besides, if I really bit down, then why didn¡¯t they use that photo? Obviously that would be more convincing, right?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s question made everyone silent for a moment.


    [Suddenly I feel that what he said makes sense, it¡¯s just a photo. This is too confusing.]


    [But he has no evidence to prove that he did not bite!]


    [That is, the omega went to wash the mark later, but it is obvious to all!]


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at the crazy comment barrage without the slightest wave in his heart.


    The interrogators referred to the opinions of netizens and turned to Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°Since you didn¡¯t mark him, do you have proof?¡±


    ¡°Proof?¡± Qiu Zhenyang sneered, ¡°I think you should let the victim give evidence to prove that I forcefully marked him, right?¡±


    The interrogators¡¯ faces looked a little ugly as they discussed in low voices. In fact, Cheng An¡¯an was watching the live broadcast in the next classroom, so he could come over, but they were afraid that the victim would be affected by Qiu Zhenyang and couldn¡¯t calm down. After all, there are many omegas who have been hurt by alphas and are afraid of their abusers.


    Seeing how they were discussing themselves, Qiu Zhenyang touched his nose and took something out of his schoolbag.


    ¡°Take a look at this first.¡± Qiu Zhenyang raised a small bottle in a transparent plastic bag so both the interrogators and netizens could see it. ¡°Do you know what this is?¡±


    There were many speculations on the barrage, but most guessed it is a potion used by alphas to deal with omegas.


    ¡°This is an alpha estrus inducer. Whose fingerprints do you think will be on it?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s smile was cold, and the bottle in his hand became the focus of netizens¡¯ attention. Everyone¡¯s views suddenly changed, and some people realized something and made disbelieving comments.


    [My god, alpha estrus? If I guessed correctly, was it the victim who was plotting against Qiu Zhenyang from the beginning to the end?]


    [No, no, no, how could such a thing happen? Where did that washed mark come from?]


    [It¡¯s just a small bottle, don¡¯t try to divert our attention, it¡¯s just you who harmed others!]


    [My god, it shouldn¡¯t be¡­ That victim found someone else to mark himself, and then framed him! Damn, I have goosebumps, how cruel does someone have to be to treat themselves like this!]


    [I¡¯m crazy, what kind of fairy reversal is this?]


    The wind direction that changed in an instant made the five interrogators puzzled.


    ¡°Take it for testing, see what¡¯s in the bottle, and look at whose fingerprints are on it.¡± Qiu Zhenyang got up and brought the transparent plastic bag to an interrogator, turned around and returned to his seat.


    Qiu Zhenyang remembered this bottle during a period of wakefulness while he and Ling Mu were overwhelmed. Cheng An¡¯an left the bottle in the room back and then and fortunately no one touched it. Qiu Zhenyang put it in a plastic bag with gloves to keep it for evidence. Now it really came in handy.


    Several interrogators discussed the situation nervously. Things are beyond their scope of understanding now, so they sent two people to Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s side to ask for some information first.


    Just as the two interrogators got up, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s terminal suddenly rang.


    He opened the terminal and looked at it, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile.


    ¡°Don¡¯t leave in a hurry, let¡¯s talk after watching this. No one can be absent from such a wonderful performance.¡± Qiu Zhenyang got up and walked over to the projector, connected the terminal to the projector in the classroom. A clear image came out immediately.


    In the video, an omega with a petite body and a beautiful face stopped for a moment in front of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s door, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

 CH 63

    The next scene surprised everyone. After Qiu Zhenyang opened the door, the omega standing at the door immediately took out a bottle and sprayed him in the face.


    The eyes of several interrogators immediately turned to the small bottle on the table. It was exactly the same as the one on the monitor!


    Next, Qiu Zhenyang in the video picked up the other person¡¯s neckline angrily, and after saying something, he threw the person away. He raised his hand to make a call with the terminal, but was quickly stopped by the omega, and even pushed directly into the room by the other party.


    In the surveillance video, the door closed, and the classroom was silent.


    Qiu Zhenyang spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. ¡°You¡¯ve seen the situation. Er, if you think the video is fake, I can bring the original surveillance disk here, and you can take it to professionals for appraisal.¡±


    The barrage in the live broadcast room seemed to stagnate for a moment, and then a large number of comments burst out like an explosion!


    [Oh my god! I can¡¯t believe my eyes!]


    [Look at what I said before! Can¡¯t draw conclusions too soon! Those who put people in jail before are slapped in the face! Apologize! Apologize!]


    [What kind of person is this! An omega with such a vicious mind, he obviously gave the drug himself, but now he bites back. His mind is too deep!]


    [I cut the video and just rewatched it. Qiu Zhenyang was obviously angry at the time and tried to call for help. He didn¡¯t forcefully mark others, he was the real victim!]


    [Forcing an alpha into estrus is a crime! Coupled with the slander and frame-up, the omega who is going to enter the interstellar prison can¡¯t escape this time!]


    [What about the people in the Alpha Association, you have jobs! Come out faster!]


    The live broadcast room exploded, and at the same time, there was a frenzy in Ling Mu¡¯s classroom.


    Because Qiu Zhenyang and Cheng An¡¯an were called away by people from the Omega Association, no one paid attention in class. After class ended, they heard the news and piled into the live broadcast. After the class bell rang, the teacher saw that they were not in the mood for class, so he simply projected the live broadcast on the screen and watched it with everyone.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Cheng An¡¯an to be such a person¡­¡±


    After seeing the big reversal, there was silence in the classroom, and it was only after a while that someone sighed with emotion.


    For a while, everyone began to discuss the surveillance video.


    ¡°My god, how can there be such a person? I always thought Cheng An¡¯an was very weak and simple.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I was going to confess to him in a few days. He looks so good¡­¡±


    A few people sighed, but those who saw through Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s essence snorted coldly: ¡°That¡¯s not pure, it¡¯s called green tea! Green tea, understand? Playing with people¡¯s hearts and being praised! You¡¯re all deceived!¡±


    ¡°His means are too high. Thinking about it now, he seems to have deliberately guided us before, making us think it was Qiu Zhenyang who was seduced by Ling Mu! It should be that Qiu Zhenyang saw through him, and got out as soon as possible! Ling Mu is also innocent, but had his reputation smeared by Cheng An¡¯an. He and Qiu Zhenyang should really love each other!¡±


    With these explanations, Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s previous behavior was dug up little by little and magnified.


    Ling Mu heard what they said, but his expression hardly changed as he focused his attention to Qiu Zhenyang on the screen. Cheng An¡¯an got the retribution he deserved. Now everyone can see it clearly. The contrast was too extreme for them to accept it immediately, but Ling Mu who knew about his true face long ago, didn¡¯t care much.


    The most embarrassed at this moment were Ji Qing and Wang Shuo. Ji Qing¡¯s cheeks flushed in shame, yearning to find a crack to hide in.


    He is usually the closest to Cheng An¡¯an, and has always been on Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s side. In the relationship between Qiu Zhenyang, Ling Mu, and Cheng An¡¯an, he occasionally criticized Qiu Zhenyang or Ling Mu. But seeing the video now and everything Cheng An¡¯an did, he felt the label of vicious and scheming also hit him, making him bow his head in shame and discomfort.


    The person in the same group who spoke for Qiu Zhenyang before raised their eyebrows at this time. ¡°Look at what I said before. You don¡¯t understand anything, so don¡¯t be in such a hurry to put hats on people. Does your face hurt being slapped?¡±


    Ji Qing gritted his teeth and said nothing, but Wang Shuo still stubbornly said: ¡°The association hasn¡¯t confirmed the authenticity of the video, right? You also said don¡¯t rush to a conclusion, maybe this video was forged by Qiu Zhenyang! What kind of estrus agent, huh? He must have used some means to frame Cheng An¡¯an!¡±


    The people around him felt that he was a little unreasonable. Since Qiu Zhenyang dared to take things out in front of the whole network, it showed that he had a reason to clean Cheng An¡¯an up. Everyone else just thought his brain wasn¡¯t working, and didn¡¯t want to pay attention to him, and taunted his companions.


    ¡°Not reconciled after being slapped in the face by evidence, and still going to jump?¡±1Wang Shuo isn¡¯t reconciled and still jumps into the pit that is Cheng An¡¯an


    ¡°I want to see Wang Shuo publicly apologize to Qiu Zhenyang  when the authenticity of the evidence is confirmed!¡±


    ¡°What, just him? How is that possible? Wang Shuo has a very bad character, don¡¯t think about it, eat melons.¡±


    The voices of those who said these words were not quiet. Wang Shuo was very angry, but there were too many people mocking him, and with the teacher in front of him, he didn¡¯t have the guts to scold him back, so he could only puff out his cheeks and squeeze his pen.


    After several interrogators spoke, Qiu Zhenyang immediately called the housekeeper Uncle Zhang and asked him to immediately send the disk to the Omega Association¡¯s appraisal center. With today¡¯s technology, shipping things is very fast; Uncle Zhang used the advanced drone at home to send it to the destination.


    ¡°It will take five minutes to arrive, and the appraisal should be done in ten minutes. Next, do you want Cheng An¡¯an to come over and see what else he has to say?¡± Qiu Zhenyang acted as if he was at home, in control of the whole situation.


    The key point is that what he said is very reasonable. The interrogators discussed it and felt that it would be better for Cheng An¡¯an to come over.


    Two minutes later, Cheng An¡¯an appeared in the live broadcast room.


    The barrage exploded again, and comments with the words ¡°green tea¡± and ¡°scum¡± kept appearing, occupying the entire screen.


    Cheng An¡¯an saw the grand scene on the big screen as soon as he sat down, and his face seemed even paler.


    ¡°Student Cheng, you should have seen the content of our interrogation of Qiu Zhenyang just now. If there is any discrepancy, you can refute it now.¡± The interrogator sitting in the middle nodded friendly to Cheng An¡¯an, and even spoke to comfort him. ¡°We can safely say that as long as the evidence is conclusive, you can directly apply to convict Qiu Zhenyang. In the future, our association will send additional people to protect you and observe your living conditions, so you don¡¯t have to worry about retaliation.¡±


    This sentence is completely for Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s sake. After all, nearly no one dares mess with him given his background, but the Omega Association is one of the three major associations in the galaxy, if not standing at the top of the Federation.


    Cheng An¡¯an looked at him, his lips trembled twice, and his eyes flinched.


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t even look at him, just stared at the barrage.


    The comments of netizens are almost the exact opposite of what they were before. Now almost 60-70% of the people support Qiu Zhenyang, scolding Cheng An for being terrifying and scheming, while the remaining 20-30% still hold onto the forced marking belief.


    Cheng An¡¯an also seemed to have noticed the comments that spoke for himself. He didn¡¯t say anything, just lowered his head and raised his eyebrows, touched the back of his healing neck, and began to cry silently.


    Seeing this appearance, several interrogators and those netizens who spoke for him were heartbroken.


    [People say that appearance is born from the heart, and the words omega and scheming are not compatible at all, right? Qiu Zhenyang, please explain the marking. I don¡¯t believe that there are people who mark and wash the marks just to frame you!]


    [It¡¯s useless if you don¡¯t believe the previous things. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s evidence is out. As for Cheng An¡¯an, what else does he have besides the two photos?]


    [Now the cost of spreading rumors is really getting lower and lower. Someone can be framed so easily.]


    [Things are not final yet, wait.]


    Unlike the commotion online, Qiu Zhenyang was as calm as ever. He glanced at his terminal from time to time, as if waiting for some news.


    After a heated discussion, the interrogators questioned Qiu Zhenyang again: ¡°The surveillance video has been sent to the association, and now it is being tested, but even if there is no trace of fraud, do you deny the matter of marking Cheng An¡¯an?¡±


    Another woman added: ¡°You were in the same room at the time, and came into heat. At that point, you should recognize the thing you marked him, right?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang has always been very relaxed, but now the interrogation staff were chasing the things marked, and he began to feel a little irritable.


    ¡°I repeat, I didn¡¯t mark him. Not long after the door closed, a few of my friends arrived and pulled him away.¡±


    ¡°Where¡¯s the evidence? Where¡¯s the video behind?¡± The interrogator continued targeting him.


    ¡°Is this the point?¡± Qiu Zhenyang felt that they were unreasonable. ¡°You should go and interrogate him now, why did he drug me and induce estrus, instead of chasing me and asking me if I marked him? Not to mention that I didn¡¯t touch him in the first place. Even if I marked him, I¡¯m still the victim, right? I¡¯m the one who was forced into estrus!¡±


    Everyone knows that forced estrus is not the same for alphas or omegas. It is a kind of pain, but anyone with a weaker body may be directly killed by this medicine!


    This was the first time that Qiu Zhenyang felt that some omegas are unreasonable, especially these interrogators. It¡¯s okay to have a bad attitude towards him, but forcing his head down to admit it? Is there a difference in the final judgment if there is a mark or not? In cases where alphas use medicine to force omegas into estrus, should they ask whether omega who is forced to estrus has any physiological reaction? What a joke!


    As for the surveillance video, the reason why Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t release it was to protect Ling Mu. At that time, Ling Mu beat him up like that and Cheng An¡¯an had to be dragged out by his own brother in the end. Whether it was for Ling Mu or Qiu Haolin, it was the same. It was a negative influence, so Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t share the surveillance.


    The interrogator was extremely embarrassed to be questioned, but couldn¡¯t find a better reason to refute him.


    The barrage also began to question the professionalism of the interrogators. On such occasions, it is obvious that such unprofessional behavior should not occur.


    Cheng An¡¯an never spoke. No matter how the interrogators asked him, he looked like a miserable victim. The more he asked, the more sad he cried, making it impossible for the interrogators to start.


    Seeing that there was a deadlock, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s terminal finally received the news he had been waiting for.


    After reading the information, Qiu Zhenyang sneered and looked at the interrogators: ¡°Originally, I just planned to stay one more hand, so as not to have any more troubles, but I found something incredible. Didn¡¯t you ask about his glands after being marked? I will connect you now to the hospital where he performed the mark removal surgery.¡±


    After that, Qiu Zhenyang clicked on the terminal¡¯s video call, and the people present and in the live broadcast room saw someone they didn¡¯t expect. .


    ¡°Lieutenant General Qiu Haolin.¡± The interrogators quickly stood up and greeted Qiu Haolin in the video.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Qiu Haolin, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s brother.¡± Qiu Haolin was wearing casual clothes today, not looking as serious as he usually did in the news, which meant he was appearing as Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s brother today. ¡°My brother¡¯s affairs have brought us a lot of trouble, and us family members are also worried. After we compared the photo on the Internet, we found the hospital where Cheng An¡¯an did the mark removal surgery.¡±


    The camera turned as Qiu Haolin aimed the video at the door of the hospital.


    To be precise, it can¡¯t be called a hospital at all, it¡¯s more precise to use the word clinic.


    On the small facade, the words ¡°Lanke Clinic¡± are marked on the door. Everything inside looks rudimentary, with dim lights, dirty desks and chairs, no matter how you look at it, it can¡¯t meet the standards of a regular clinic.


    ¡°This is the doctor from the clinic, and the nurse who sent the photo.¡± Qiu Haolin turned the camera to the two people in the clinic, a thin and short elderly doctor, and a nurse standing behind him awkwardly in front of the camera.


    Qiu Haolin said and turned the camera to himself again.


    ¡°I thought that Cheng An¡¯an had the surgery in a big hospital, but we found this clinic in the end. After inquiring, there was no sample left in the marking removal operation performed at that time. If it is a conventional hospital, such surgery requires samples to be kept. With the help of samples, we can confirm the pheromone of the marker.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Cheng¡¯s family is not bad, so he can go to a big hospital, but he chose such a small clinic for such an important operation? From this, one can infer he doesn¡¯t want to leave a pheromone sample behind.¡± Immediately afterwards, Qiu Haolin asked the doctor and nurse, ¡°Do you still remember the smell of that pheromone at that time?¡±


    The doctor recalled: ¡°It seems to smell of gasoline?¡±


    The nurse nodded. After asking, Qiu Haolin didn¡¯t say anything, he just said to the camera, ¡°Because this clinic has violations in many aspects, I will directly ask people from the inspection department to re-examine things later. I swear by my reputation as a lieutenant general that everything they said is true, and I have not done any persecution or fraud.¡±


    The video communication hung up, Qiu Zhenyang stood up and walked in front of the five interrogators, and controlled the release of a little pheromone.


    ¡°Smell, see if my pheromone smells like gasoline.¡±


    And the show continues¡­


    Question is, why didn¡¯t the interrogators take away comms from both sides? Plot holes, womp womp.

 CH 64

    Generally speaking, it is very impolite for alpha to release pheromone at omegas, but the current situation is unique. In order to prove that his pheromone is not gasoline, Qiu Zhenyang released a little pheromone. Just that bit was enough for the interrogators to confirm that his pheromone was 108,000 miles away from the so-called gasoline smell.


    ¡°Originally, I wasn¡¯t going to make this public, so I could save him some face. But it seems that you care more about the mark, so don¡¯t blame me for being rude.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at Cheng An¡¯an after saying this. The latter¡¯s expression was completely different. If it was too obvious that his expression was a fake disguise before, then now his expression is full of real embarrassment and pain.


    Cheng An¡¯an looked at Qiu Zhenyang with endless hatred. Those unspeakable scars which made him feel great pain and humiliation were revealed. His pained and ashamed look entered Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes making him feel amused.


    ¡°I reminded you before and gave you a chance, but you forced me to take this step. I always wondered why you came to school so early. After all, you also paid a huge price for your mistakes at the time. Shouldn¡¯t you be resting at home? Unless, you¡¯re really afraid of that place, and don¡¯t even care about your body and came to school just to escape, isn¡¯t that right?¡±


    The moment Qiu Zhenyang finished speaking, Cheng An¡¯an suddenly clenched his fists frantically and shouted angrily, ¡°Shut up!¡±


    The sharp cry shocked several interrogators. Netizens were also surprised by his sudden change.


    The most calm person was Qiu Zhenyang who chuckled softly. ¡°It seems that I guessed right.¡±


    He leaned back. He even folded his legs leisurely, with graceful movements and indifferent eyes. He has already presented all the evidence that he should show, and the truth of the matter should be obvious, so he only needs to hand it all over to the interrogator.


    After such a series of events, not to mention netizens, even the interrogators were stunned.


    The interrogator sitting in the middle received a report from the association. The inspection results showed that the original surveillance disk sent by Qiu Zhenyang was genuine, and there was no trace of alteration or fraud.


    The interrogator exhaled a long breath. Although the small bottle that Qiu Zhenyang put on their table had not been tested, it was basically unnecessary.


    Although they didn¡¯t have a good impression of Qiu Zhenyang, the presiding judge announced the results fairly and impartially.


    ¡°The original surveillance disk that was sent to the association for inspection has been confirmed to have not been manipulated. It can be basically determined that the whole thing was planned by Mr. Cheng. In this live interrogation, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s suspicions have basically been cleared, and the rest will wait for us. After returning to the association for a final confirmation, the interrogation results will be announced on social media.¡±


    The barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded, and netizens finally knew why Cheng An¡¯an didn¡¯t say anything. As the guilty party, it¡¯s better not to speak and make mistakes; remaining silent can buy misunderstandings and sympathy to try and change the trend of events. This kind of scheming also made everyone realize how ruthless Cheng An¡¯an was, eliciting another round of ridicule.


    [The truth is revealed ¨C Cheng An¡¯an should hurry up and go to prison. A dark prison life is waiting for you!]


    [My god, I¡¯m so disgusted, the best green tea of ??the year award goes to him!]


    [Did you slap the face of the person who spoke for Cheng An¡¯an before? Now they don¡¯t talk anymore. Your face hurts but it doesn¡¯t prevent you from typing.]


    [I still want to know how Qiu Zhenyang, who was in estrus that night, solved it.]


    [+1 upstairs.]


    [+ID number!]


    Seeing everyone¡¯s doubts on the barrage, Qiu Zhenyang smiled, while Ling Mu, who was watching the live broadcast in the classroom at the same time, had an ominous premonition.


    ¡°Of course the estrus period was spent with my partner Ling Mu~ My family has already announced our relationship. You can go back and find out. That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t say anything a few days ago after the photo came out. I was busy living a good bed life with my partner. How could I have time to deal with these trifles?¡±


    When it comes to emotional issues, Qiu Zhenyang has never been shy, and even wished that everyone in the interstellar knew that Ling Mu was his, so he can¡¯t run away anymore!


    [Woo woo woo, openly show affection! I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a Qiu Ershao!]


    [¡­I came to see the interrogation, why was I suddenly stuffed with dog food?]


    [What kind of fairy love is this, it¡¯s so romantic to be made public under this circumstance!]


    Romantic my ass! Ling Mu accepted the gazes of the classmates in the classroom with a cold face. Those eyes were either envious or jealous, and some were even blessing him, which made him more uncomfortable as his ears reddened.


    Qiu Zhenyang, stupid idiot, when will he know how to write the word ¡®low-key¡¯?!


    After the show of affection, Qiu Zhenyang also made full use of the huge online crowd in the live broadcast room to directly promote his game:


    ¡°Through this incident, many friends should know I am not a bad person, right? Then, taking this opportunity, I would also like to recommend to you a game that will be launched in my personal name, ¡°Machine Wars¡±. This game is very different from previous games. Whether you are alpha, beta or omega, you can participate, and whether your gender is displayed can also be decided according to your personal wishes.¡±


    Several interrogators stared at Qiu Zhenyang as he began to introduce his game. Although the interrogation is over now, and he¡¯s free to say whatever he wants, Qiu Zhenyang is the first person that dared to promote his game in the interrogation live broadcast room!


    After a brief explanation, Qiu Zhenyang waved his hand: ¡°Not much else to say, please look forward to it!¡±


    A trial live broadcast ended in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s publicity stunt. After the live broadcast, many netizens also discovered the First Consortium released news related to the game on their official blog, drawing in many people¡¯s curiosity.


    The live broadcast was closed, and the interrogators told Cheng An¡¯an that he had to follow them for the final verdict.


    Basically, if there is no accident, Cheng An¡¯an will be directly prosecuted and sent to prison to serve his sentence.


    Qiu Zhenyang stood by, watched, and then followed them out of the classroom.


    After coming out of the building, Qiu Zhenyang was surprised to find that many students were waiting downstairs. Most were first graders, and Ling Mu, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu were waiting for him at the front of the crowd.


    Qiu Zhenyang ran over immediately and asked, ¡°Why are you all here?¡±


    Yuan Chenyu said, ¡°Hey, didn¡¯t we see that you finally got out of the sea of ??misery, and come over to celebrate! How about you, do you want to go out at night? A wave? Our brothers haven¡¯t gone out to relax for a long time.¡±


    ¡°Okay, you can decide the place, not too messy, don¡¯t ruin my wife.¡±


    Ling Mu rolled his eyes. This guy is getting better and better now, always calling him wife here and there. Ling Mu was too lazy to correct it. Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu were acquaintances anyway, and there was nothing to avoid, so he went with him.


    On the other side, Cheng An¡¯an, who was surrounded by two interrogators, watched the happy, harmonious atmosphere between them, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.


    ¡°Cheng An¡¯an, you really disappointed me too much. I¡¯ve always regarded you as a good friend!¡± Suddenly there was a crying voice among the crowd who came to watch the fun. Wiping away his tears, Ji Qing¡¯s angry cry seemed to completely separate himself from Cheng An¡¯an.


    A classmate next to him advised him: ¡°Don¡¯t be sad, what is there to be sad about this kind of person? It¡¯s just that you don¡¯t know people well. Make friends in the future and keep your eyes open.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Cheng An¡¯an is so scary. It¡¯s no wonder you¡¯re fooled, it¡¯s none of your business.¡±


    As for Wang Shuo, he dashed away as soon as class ended. Today¡¯s live broadcast made his cheeks hurt, and he doesn¡¯t dare face his classmates for the next while.


    There were as many voices scolding Cheng An¡¯an as there were criticizing Qiu Zhenyang before the matter was clarified.


    Cheng An¡¯an stared blankly at familiar and unfamiliar faces in front of him. The eyes looking his way were all disgusting and mocking, disgusting that he had a fake face and a deep scheming, satirizing his meticulous plans.


    Those scornful eyes turned into sharp knives fiercely stabbing into Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s heart.


    How could he, how could he get to where he is today?


    ¡°An¡¯an!¡± With a whimper, Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s mother ran over crying, wanting to reach her son, but was stopped by Lin Zhiyuan who came over.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked over with great interest. They seemed to have arrived anxiously, sweat on their foreheads, and Lin Zhiyuan also brought two bodyguards over. It¡¯s just that the overall situation has been decided now, and he doesn¡¯t know why they¡¯re here now. Is it to say goodbye to Cheng An¡¯an?


    Qiu Zhenyang could only randomly guess,  but soon, he knew that the reason why Lin Zhiyuan came here was not that simple.


    Because Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s sad and painful eyes when he saw his mother, Lin Zhiyuan, and then the bodyguard changed completely. He became frightened, scared, and even his hands began to tremble. Fear made him retreat as if he had seen terrible beasts.


    Without further thinking, Qiu Zhenyang immediately guessed that the bodyguard was the one who was instructed by Lin Zhiyuan to forcibly mark Cheng An¡¯an.


    In order to divert the public¡¯s attention from Lin Yuhan, Lin Zhiyuan pushed Cheng An¡¯an into the fire pit without hesitation.


    Really ironic.


    ¡°An¡¯an, it¡¯s your mother¡¯s fault, it¡¯s your mother who didn¡¯t take good care of you¡­¡± Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s mother was held in her arms by Lin Zhiyuan and cried uncontrollably. Qiu Zhenyang carefully found that Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s hand was not gentle at all, and even had a feeling of restraint.


    Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s eyes were red, shaking her lips and whispering: ¡°Mom¡­¡±


    ¡°An¡¯an,¡± Lin Zhiyuan said suddenly, his tone sounded tolerant and easy-going, but his eyes were warning, ¡°This time it is indeed you who was wrong. Since you are guilty, you should be punished by the law. Don¡¯t worry, I will take good care of your mother and wait for you to come out to reunite with us.¡±


    Watched by Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s warning eyes, Cheng An¡¯an closed his eyes in pain, his heart seeming to be torn apart.


    Seeing all this in front of him, Qiu Zhenyang had an indescribable feeling.


    It¡¯s not that he sympathized with Cheng An¡¯an, he just wanted to sigh.


    After all, Cheng An¡¯an was the original protagonist. Although he¡¯s disgusting as a green tea bitch, he didn¡¯t do anything that hurt the world. As the protagonist, his core is still good. If nothing else, just the fact that he silently endured Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s harm for the sake of his mother proved this.


    It¡¯s a pity that Qiu Zhenyang transmigrated, and the trajectory of fate changed. Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s character also slowly changed. In the end, because of the inability to court him and facing the oppressed living environment, he committed unforgivable wrongs.


    Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu¡¯s hand. The latter glanced sideways at him, acutely aware of his complicated emotions, pursed his lower lip and said nothing, just stood quietly with him.


    Qiu Zhenyang breathed a sigh of relief; the temperature in his hands was real and warm.


    In any case, Cheng An¡¯an¡¯s end is not too pitiful; after all, all the consequences were caused by him. He didn¡¯t regret the current situation, because if he didn¡¯t change, the truly innocent Ling Mu would suffer the most damage and pain.


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t waver at all. His initial wish was to hope that Ling Mu, who he felt uneasy about, could live a happy and fulfilled life. Later he was gradually attracted, gradually fell in love, and gradually couldn¡¯t extricate himself from him.


    Love should not be bound by any rules and regulations. He just did what he wanted to do the most-


    Love him for life.


    Most of the drama is over now. There¡¯s still a little later on, but the rest of it is mostly dog food, vinegar, and more dog food.

 CH 65

    ¡°Huh¡ªthis is awesome!! Woah!¡±


    On Capital Star¡¯s ¡°Cloud Track Field¡±, Yuan Chenyu was driving a cloud bike and was weaving forward on the mountain road. Zhuo Hang followed close behind, at about the same speed.


    Not far behind was Qiu Zhenyang following at an unhurried pace. Ling Mu was sitting in his arms, looking at the surrounding scenery with obvious excitement.


    ¡°How is it? Is it cool?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lips were pressed against Ling Mu¡¯s ear, his dark eyes focused on the road ahead. It was Ling Mu¡¯s first time riding a cloud car.


    ¡°En, it¡¯s so exciting!¡± Ling Mu¡¯s voice was obviously amplified from excitement. He had never experienced such exciting things!


    After today¡¯s interrogation, no one had time or the attention to attend class. As soon as the bell rang,  Qiu Zhenyang took them out of the school.


    There are many exciting fun experiences in the original body¡¯s memory. Qiu Zhenyang chose a relatively familiar experience to relax. Cloud cars are like motorcycles, but safer, smarter, and faster.


    Because it was Ling Mu¡¯s first time riding, Qiu Zhenyang brought him along.


    Qiu Zhenyang held the handlebars with both hands, and his strong arms and broad chest encircled Ling Mu firmly in his arms.


    ¡°If you like this, I can bring you back. There are also many other things I can bring you to experience together.¡± Qiu Zhenyang said dotingly beside Ling Mu. The tip of his nose was close to his glands, letting him breathe in the addictive and familiar fresh sunflower scent.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t notice Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s actions at all. He just kept nodding his head, his excited eyes shining like stars.


    The entire track is very large, and it takes about an hour to complete. There¡¯s a rest stop in the middle of the driveway. When Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu arrived, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu were already there waiting for them.


    ¡°Come on, come on, everything is ready!¡± Yuan Chenyu waved at the two of them. Zhuo Hang was placing the barbecue and fried chicken that Qiu Zhenyang had prepared in advance on the stone table.


    It was already evening, so there were only a few people going out for rides at this time of day and everyone was spread far apart.


    Qiu Zhenyang got out of the car first, and then carried Ling Mu down. The latter was hugged by him in a daze. He didn¡¯t react until the soles of his feet touched the ground, and said with a ¡°tsk¡±, ¡°I can come down by myself. Why are you holding me? I¡¯m not disabled.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang chuckled lightly. ¡°Isn¡¯t it because your reaction is too slow, so I helped you wake up?¡±


    It was probably his first time riding a cloud car. The speed of the car made Ling Mu completely excited, and he didn¡¯t have time to react until the car had stopped.


    Ling Mu pouted, stood on the spot and stomped his feet, feeling that his body and mood had calmed down a bit before walking towards the tables.


    At noon, Qiu Zhenyang went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. When he went back, he made barbecue and fried chicken first, put them in the incubator, and brought everything out after class was over. He also used the machine to make some drinks. Beer and coke were not easy to get, so he simply made juice instead.


    ¡°This is amazing! Qiu Zhenyang, I now admit that you are a genius, not just an ordinary rich second-generation like us.¡± Yuan Chenyu grabbed a piece and sighed with emotion, with a happy expression on his face when he opened his mouth.


    Choked by his remark, Zhuo Hang said speechlessly, ¡°If others hear you, they¡¯ll definitely beat you up.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help laughing. He threw a bottle towards Yuan Chenyu, took a few chicken wings to grill. After coating them with a sweet and spicy sauce, he handed one to Ling Mu: ¡°Try this, it¡¯s different from fried chicken wings. I¡¯ve just prepared it, here try.¡±


    Ling Mu took the chicken wing, took a big bite, and was amazed. ¡°This is different from fried chicken. It¡¯s delicious, why don¡¯t you sell it in the store?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not ready yet. We can talk later.¡± Qiu Zhenyang hasn¡¯t written the recipe for his grandmother yet, and because he doesn¡¯t plan to focus on catering, he didn¡¯t pay much attention.


    Yuan Chenyu almost cried as he ate. ¡°This is too delicious, Qiu Zhenyang, shall I marry you? I don¡¯t need anything else, just cook for me every day!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang had no mercy. ¡°Get out of here! I have a wife, go farther away from me!¡±


    Zhuo Hang, who was nibbling on a roasted chicken leg, made a sympathetic gesture of beheading at Yuan Chenyu, while Ling Mu, who was on the side, kept to himself. Nibbling the chicken wings himself, he even threw a sentence to Yuan Chenyu: ¡°Good luck.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re cheering for him? Xiao Mumu, am I being too gentle with you? You dare to provoke me like this!¡± Qiu Zhenyang revealed a sinister smile, rushing over and biting the chicken wing Ling Mu had already gnawed on. Ling Mu¡¯s conditioned reflex was to dodge backwards, but Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s weight pushed them both backwards and fell directly to the ground!


    Despite this, Qiu Zhenyang still did not let go, and while biting through the chicken wings, the flexible tongue continued to penetrate between Ling Mu¡¯s lips and teeth.


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang were stunned at the scene and couldn¡¯t help but shout in unison, ¡°Shameless!¡±


    When Ling Mu lifted Qiu Zhenyang and sat up again, only the bones of the chicken wings were left, and his mouth was smeared with sauce that Qiu Zhenyang rubbed around. Ashamed and annoyed, Ling Mu wiped his mouth fiercely, then got up and walked a few steps to sit down between Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu.


    When Qiu Zhenyang saw this, he immediately cried, ¡°Don¡¯t go, Mumu, I was wrong! Hurry back and I¡¯ll show you how to debone chicken wings!¡±


    Zhuo Hang: ¡°¡­¡±


    Yuan Chenyu: ¡°¡­¡±


    Finally, after eating and drinking, the four people slumped on a cloud car, adjusted the mode of the car to a shape suitable for lying down, and then lay in rows near the top of the mountain to watch the stars.


    Ling Mu lay on his back in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arms, and hugged by the person behind him who kept rubbing his waist and eating his tofu. He reluctantly held that annoying hand that had touched him numerous times.


    The nighttime wind was a bit cool, blowing comfortably on the cheeks. Qiu Zhenyang wrapped Ling Mu tightly with his arms, worried that he would be cold.


    ¡°The game will be tested in a few days. I¡¯ll ask grandmother to send a few game warehouses over and put one in your room?¡± Qiu Zhenyang played with the buttons on Ling Mu¡¯s clothes, folded one hand behind his head and rested his head on it.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Ling Mu has also been looking forward to this game for a long time. It¡¯s not easy to leave school to go to the mecha building, but this game can mimic that experience. Moreover, he had heard Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s plan and knew the general pattern and content of the game, so he was very interested.


    Qiu Zhenyang turned his head to look at the other two. ¡°I¡¯ll also send the two of you game warehouses when the time comes. Remember to send me your dormitory number.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Zhuo Hang responded immediately, and Yuan Chenyu made an ok gesture.


    After being silent for a while, Zhuo Hang suddenly asked Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°I remember you said something about live broadcasting before. Are you going to broadcast during the internal test or after the public test?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang had already considered this point. ¡°It¡¯ll start during the internal test. It¡¯s also a means of propaganda.¡±


    Generally speaking, an internal test is to investigate the player¡¯s experience, check whether there are bugs, and test whether certain mechanisms need to be improved. But none of these are of great practical significance to Qiu Zhenyang, because he can guarantee that most players will be satisfied. There are no problems such as bugs and mechanics given the team of technicians he selected!


    No matter what industry the people of Interstellar are in, their technology is top-notch, surpassing his previous world by many times. They just lack some inspiration, and their thinking is strangely solidified. As long as he gives a little push, it¡¯s enough for them to bring it to fruition.


    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll make a livestream account too!¡± Yuan Chenyu was eager to try. He was very interested in the game, and had invested in this game himself. Now, he couldn¡¯t wait.


    Zhuo Hang was more thoughtful. ¡°Are you going to do the live broadcast on a platform owned by your grandmother?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I was going to do one myself, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary. The live broadcast platform is already mature, traffic is heavy, and the reputation is good. Grandma has already helped me to say hello, so our game will have more exposure and recommendations, which is good.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang has considered all the factors, and now he is just waiting for the game to start the internal test.


    After he introduced his game in the live broadcast room earlier, the account registered by the marketing team has already sent out the information for pre-registrations. Qiu Zhenyang also sent invitations to many game anchors for the internal test in advance, and gave some promotion fees, so that the process of game publicity would be smooth.


    After exchanging a few more words, Qiu Zhenyang heard a thin snoring sound.


    He raised his head slightly and saw that Ling Mu was asleep.


    The sequelae left from those crazy days have not healed, and Ling Mu has not recovered until now.


    In the end, Qiu Zhenyang had to carry Ling Mu all the way back to his room. He went straight into the bathroom, stripped him clean, and ran a hot bath. The mountain top was cold and windy, making Ling Mu¡¯s skin very cold, so Qiu Zhenyang planned to give him a hot bath before going to bed.


    Ling Mu was already too sleepy. If it wasn¡¯t for Qiu Zhenyang sitting behind him and leaning against him, he might have slipped directly into the water.


    The two were already familiar with each other¡¯s bodies, but when they saw each other sincerely after a few days, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help but react.


    The action of taking a shower was quite normal, but when he helped his lover with shower gel, the animal finally came out.


    Poor Ling Mu was so sleepy that his eyes were darkened, and his voice was hoarse when he shouted. But the beast still did it once, which made his already tired body even worse.


    In the end, Ling Mu, whose body was as soft as a puddle of water, was carried to the bed, and was kissed by the scumbag Qiu for a while before he was able to fall asleep.


    A second before falling into a deep sleep, there was only one thought left in Ling Mu¡¯s chaotic mind. Next time, Qiu Zhenyang must not be allowed to succeed¡­

 CH 66

    The next morning, Ling Mu was dug out of the quilt by Qiu Zhenyang.


    He was so sleepy that he couldn¡¯t open his eyes. The unspeakable part of his body and gland on the back of his neck still hurt a little. He really wanted to skip class!


    Like a personal nanny, Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu out of the soft bed, took him to the bathroom to help him brush his teeth and wash his face, then went to Ling Mu¡¯s room to find his clothes and helped him put them on before carrying him downstairs for breakfast.


    After recharging last night, Qiu Zhenyang is refreshed and able to do anything!


    ¡°Come on, eat breakfast quickly and go to class. We¡¯ve missed half a month of classes, and can¡¯t miss the rest.¡± Although Qiu Zhenyang is a scholar, he has to listen to the lectures normally in order to get full credit.


    After barely finishing breakfast, Ling Mu was almost awake, but his expression was still a little dull.


    Qiu Zhenyang found a pheromone sticker and put it on the back of Ling Mu¡¯s neck. Although he liked the smell of his own pheromone on Ling Mu¡¯s body, the too strong smell would attract attention and cause trouble for other students.


    They attended mecha attack and defense theory in the morning. Originally, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu did not choose this course, but because of the game, the two became interested in mecha gradually. After submitting an application for transfer a few days ago, they could sit in class with Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu.


    The theory class was held in a very large classroom. Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang arrived first and reserved seats for Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu.


    Seeing the two coming in from the classroom door one after the other, Yuan Chenyu immediately stood up and waved to them: ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, Ling Mu, here!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his hand to show that he saw it, and then followed Ling Mu to the back.


    ¡°Come on, give the two of you a seat, you¡­¡± Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang sat next to each other to save a seat for them, but just as he was about to get up and let them sit together, Ling Mu sat directly between him and Zhuo Hang, and grabbed his arm to force him to sit down too.


    Yuan Chenyu¡¯s heart skipped a beat, turned to Qiu Zhenyang in horror, and pointed at Ling Mu¡¯s hand holding his arm. ¡°It was he who moved first, I didn¡¯t touch him, you can see clearly!¡±


    He understood very well how possessive Qiu Zhenyang was. When they went to play yesterday, when Yuan Chenyu finished drinking the juice, he wanted Ling Mu to pour some for him, only to receive a long stare from Qiu Zhenyang.


    Seeing Yuan Chenyu¡¯s cowardly look, Zhuo Hang couldn¡¯t help but bow his head and smirk.


    Qiu Zhenyang was helpless, so he could only sit down next to Zhuo Hang. ¡°Am I that scary? Okay, sit down and listen to class.¡±


    After that, he took out his notebook and pen from his bag and gave them to Ling Mu. The latter lowered his eyes and shoved his notebook over with a blank expression, still ignoring him.


    Zhuo Hang quietly leaned towards Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s ear and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, made him angry?¡±


    Spreading out his supplies and notebook, Qiu Zhenyang squinted at him. ¡°Close your legs, don¡¯t squeeze him.¡±


    Zhuo Hang: ¡± ¡­¡± He must have been full and had nothing to do in order to inquire about Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s gossip.1as in he was stupid enough to ask QZY about something unrelated to him


    Speaking of which, Ling Mu¡¯s mood wasn¡¯t as fiery on the road given how sleepy he was. In retrospect, he was the culprit who made him so sleepy.


    Now that Ling Dang no longer lives with them, Qiu Zhenyang is even more reckless. In order to make his future study and life easier, Ling Mu seriously warned Qiu Zhenyang not to do such a thing again.


    Qiu Zhenyang protested violently, saying that it would be at least twice a week, and no matter how little, he would not want to talk to him.


    In short, it is impossible not to do it. For the sake of his own sexual life, Qiu Zhenyang decided to protest to the end!


    ¡°I heard that you rented the milk tea shop to a senior?¡± Zhuo Hang remembered what Yuan Chenyu told him this morning, and asked Qiu Zhenyang about it.


    ¡°En, I¡¯m going to start preparing for the game later. I probably won¡¯t have time to go to the milk tea shop. Originally I was going to close it, but I think a lot of people will protest, so let¡¯s keep it open for now. It¡¯s fine if someone else manages it.¡± Qiu Zhenyang turned his pen in a bored manner, looking at Ling Mu from time to time.


    Zhuo Hang nodded deeply. ¡°Indeed, although there are many shops in the commercial street that tried to imitate your fried chicken and milk tea, none of them can imitate the essence, and the taste is far from yours. If the shop suddenly closes, I am afraid many people will collapse.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang shrugged noncommittally. The milk tea shop now has many loyal customers, and many of them order food almost every day. Don¡¯t know how much fat they¡¯ve gained¡­


    While the two were talking, the teacher came in from the door and began to lecture.


    Qiu Zhenyang listened attentively. This game is rich in content and also tests the player¡¯s operation and mind. He has to learn as much about mechas as possible in the shortest time so he can be at the top when the time comes.


    After one morning of being ignored by Ling Mu. Qiu Zhenyang was extremely depressed.


    When he left the classroom, Qiu Zhenyang followed Ling Mu, trying to fight for his own welfare, but was blocked by an omega who suddenly appeared.


    Now Qiu Zhenyang has a headache when he sees other omegas, for fear that they will try to confess to him.


    But to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s surprise, this omega was looking for Ling Mu.


    ¡°Ling Mu, can I ask you something?¡± The omega was a little embarrassed, petite and small with a cute smile.


    Ling Mu remembered that his name seemed to be Guan Tang, and he was part of class O3 as well. Because of his personality, his classmates would hardly talk to him. Only Guan Tang would come talk to him from time to time. Even if he didn¡¯t get any response, he wasn¡¯t pessimistic and would come find him another time.


    After thinking about it, Ling Mu nodded and followed him.


    Qiu Zhenyang watched Ling Mu leave, holding the breath in his chest.


    Yuan Chenyu, who hadn¡¯t left, sneered in a disgraceful manner. ¡°Hehe, it seems that only Ling Mu can make you shrivel. Look at you now, you look like the grudge.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang retracted his eyes from Ling Mu¡¯s back and said without a smile: ¡°This is called happy, okay? What qualifications do you have? An in-depth translation of your single dog behavior should be called envy, jealousy, and hate.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu pursed his lips and cried at Zhuo Hang: ¡°He despises us as single dogs!¡±


    Zhuo Hang immediately raised his hand in a stop gesture. ¡°Don¡¯t, he¡¯s talking about you, not me. I have a new girlfriend. We got together yesterday, a beautiful sophomore senior, and are going to lunch together later.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu: ¡°¡­¡± Was he abandoned by his good brothers one by one?


    In the end, Qiu Zhenyang went back to prepare lunch, and Zhuo Hang went to his date with the beautiful senior sister. The single dog Yuan Chenyu could only go to the commercial street alone with his head down, heading for Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s milk tea shop to have a big meal, to comfort herself.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ling Mu looked at Guan Tang in front of him and asked indifferently after finding a corridor with no people.


    Guan Tang said embarrassedly, ¡°Can I ask you a favor? My boyfriend is a game fan. He wanted to make a reservation for the internal test classmate Qiu mentioned on the live broadcast, but there were too many people. He is very depressed every day now, and he is always thinking about it in class, so I just wanted to ask you to see if I can get a place for my boyfriend?¡±


    Ling Mu raised his eyebrows. ¡°You should look for Qiu Zhenyang about this.¡±


    Guan Tang immediately denied it. ¡°That¡¯s not good. As an omega with a boyfriend, asking an alpha with a partner, this matter will not end well!¡±


    Seeing his resolute appearance, Ling Mu pressed his lower lip, but said nothing.


    It was rare for an omega to see so clearly. It seemed that the omegas he had met before were all too unreasonable. When they saw Qiu Zhenyang, they all lost their souls and wanted to jump up.


    After thinking about it for a while, Ling Mu said again: ¡°I don¡¯t know very well about the game¡¯s internal test, so I may not be able to help you.¡±


    Guan Tang immediately folded his hands and made a plea. ¡°Classmate Qiu loves you so much, please just ask. I feel that as long as you speak, he will definitely agree!¡±


    Guan Tang is a melon eater, and Qiu Zhenyang is a big man in the school. Basically, he has eaten all the melons about Qiu Zhenyang and is aware of the importance of Ling Mu in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart. Etiquette between alphas and omegas is indeed worth noting, but the bigger reason for finding Ling Mu is that Guan Tang feels that if Qiu Zhenyang may not agree if he asks, but if he goes through Ling Mu, Qiu Zhenyang will definitely agree!


    He believes that he is usually friendly to Ling Mu, so the other party should agree to this kind of request, right?


    As a result¡­


    ¡°You should still look for him.¡± If it were normal, Ling Mu might agree because of being acquaintances, but he is still angry with Qiu Zhenyang right now, so he doesn¡¯t want to approach him.


    Guan Tang: ¡°¡­¡±


    He was wrong, Ling Mu is a lot harder than Qiu Zhenyang!!!


    Thinking that she and Ling Mu have been in the same class for so long, and that the other party is still so inhumane, Guan Tang couldn¡¯t help but feel a little frustrated. ¡°I thought we had a good relationship, so you could be considered a friend, sigh¡­¡±


    ¡°Friend?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s eyes were a little confused at the unfamiliar word.


    In the past, he also had friends, but that was when his father was still alive. At that time, his personality was not as rigid as he is now, and he also had two friends who went home together after school every day. It¡¯s just that all this changed after his father¡¯s death. His mother¡¯s attitude made him more withdrawn, and he gradually lost contact with his friends.


    He hadn¡¯t made friends for a long time.


    But that¡¯s not right. Because of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s relationship, he can be regarded as friends with Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu. But they are different in too many places ¨C personality, gender, status. The friend he needs most, maybe it should be like¡­ this omega in front of him?


    Seeing Ling Mu staring at him, Guan Tang tilted his head: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Ling Mu suddenly remembered when the military training started, when Qiu Zhenyang gave him water, and many people ridiculed him, only he stood up to speak for him, and even quarreled with Lin Nuo.


    At that time, although Ling Mu thought the quarrel was annoying, it was undeniable that the fact that Guan Tang speaking for him created some waves in his heart.


    Guan Tang¡¯s hand swayed in front of Ling Mu¡¯s eyes. It was because he had been silent for too long, which made him a little concerned.


    ¡°I¡¯ll help you get a quota for the internal test,¡± Ling Mu grabbed Guan Tang¡¯s dangling hand and put it down. ¡°Just treat it as a favor from military training.¡±


    ¡°Military training? Favor?¡± Guan Tang was stunned for a moment. It wasn¡¯t until Ling Mu walked away that he remembered. ¡°Oh! It turned out to be that time! My god, I thought he forgot, but he still remembers it now.¡±


    Guan Tang, who got a promise, went to look for his boyfriend, thinking happily that Ling Mu is a good person.


    Xiao Mumu makes a friend!

 CH 67

    As soon as he opened the door to the dormitory, the smell of the food hit, instantly giving him a warm feeling of home.


    Closing the door, Ling Mu walked to the sofa and sat down. With one arm around his chest and the other on his chin, he wondered how to ask Qiu Zhenyang about Guan Tang¡¯s request.


    After a while, Qiu Zhenyang came out of the kitchen with two plates. He was surprised to see Ling Mu return so soon. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t want me to come back?¡±


    ¡°Of course not. I want to keep you by my side all the¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s smile vanished the moment he met Ling Mu¡¯s dangerous eyes, and quickly changed the subject with a light cough, ¡°It¡¯s just that you don¡¯t usually have any friends, it¡¯s rare for an omega to find you. I feel like it¡¯s a good thing.¡±


    Ling Mu was a little puzzled: ¡°What¡¯s good?¡±


    Putting the plate on the table, Qiu Zhenyang wiped his hand on the apron. ¡°It¡¯s good to have friends, even though you have a good husband like me now, you can¡¯t not have friends in your life. Maybe you have never had friends for various reasons in the past, but in the future, as long as it¡¯s someone who makes you comfortable, you can treat them as a friend.¡±


    Comfortable? Although it was really annoying every time Guan Tang came to talk to him, to be honest, he didn¡¯t hate it. Even though he didn¡¯t pay much attention to him, he didn¡¯t take the initiative to drive him away either.


    It should be comfortable, right?


    ¡°However, you have to pay attention to making friends. You have to judge whether the other party really wants to be friends with you, and what their character is like. Otherwise, there will be many problems in the future.¡± Qiu Zhenyang had many friends in his past life, and of course he also had some ¡°bad¡± friends who ran away after borrowing some money. However, it¡¯s difficult to see this immediately and requires time to see the character of the other party.


    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t think too much, let¡¯s eat first.¡± Qiu Zhenyang brought bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, added some rice, and called Ling Mu over.


    The matter of making friends was quickly forgotten. Naturally, if it¡¯s fate, friends can be found quickly; and if there is no fate, so be it. It is useless to think too much.


    Ling Mu, who was no longer tangled, sat at the table. Just after taking two bites, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°So what did he say to you?¡±


    Ling Mu put a chopstick of sweet and sour fish in his mouth. He lowered his eyes and said, ¡°He asked me for a spot in the game¡¯s internal test.¡±


    ¡°Internal test?¡± Qiu Zhenyang was speechless, ¡°Then why didn¡¯t he talk to me directly?¡±


    It¡¯s enough to say so in front of him. Why pull Ling Mu away?


    ¡°He said he wanted to avoid suspicion, and he felt like you would refuse if asked directly. Passing through me, the success rate will be high.¡± Ling Mu looked up at Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°So do you agree?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang felt amused and said helplessly: ¡°He is quite smart. Indeed, there are not many spots for internal testing, and casually giving it out won¡¯t be good for the game. However, if you come and ask me, I will definitely give it. When do I not listen to you?¡±


    Ling Mu immediately climbed up the pole: ¡°Once a month.¡±


    ¡°Pfft¡ª¡± Qiu Zhenyang almost spat out a mouthful of rice, and hurriedly swallowed it. ¡°No, no, once a month, I will suffocate to death! Xiao Mumu, you can¡¯t be so ruthless. You also liked it very much when we¡­¡±


    ¡°Are you an idiot!¡± Ling Mu¡¯s cheeks were flushed, wanting to hit him with the chopsticks. How can this guy say such a thing so easily?!


    Besides, comfort is comfort, but he is also the one who suffers the next day!


    Qiu Zhenyang pursed his lips. ¡°I¡¯m not talking nonsense, you obviously like it, always hugging me and crying. And every time I reach the innermost point, you will sensitively stretch your waist and grab my back and scream; your voice is so nice!¡±


    ¡°Damn it, Qiu Zhenyang, you¡¯re dead!¡±


    Before he had eaten a few bites of the meal, Ling Mu had already run over and grabbed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s ear and dragged him desperately! This dead guy¡¯s stink mouth. He knew how to restrain himself before he was completely marked, but now he completely turned into a stinky hooligan, teasing him all the time!


    Qiu Zhenyang cried out, wanting to cry without tears, enjoying his wife¡¯s ¡°love¡±.


    It¡¯s just his wife is so tempting, that he can¡¯t help wanting to play dirty jokes to see his blushing face. Woohoo, it¡¯s too difficult~


    The result of teasing his wife too much was that Qiu Zhenyang went to class hungry in the afternoon.


    By the end of class, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s stomach had already growled for ten straight minutes. The sound was loud and clear, making the students around him laugh. He couldn¡¯t hold back a wry smile either.


    As soon as the get out of class was over, Qiu Zhenyang slumped on the seat and looked at Ling Mu reluctantly.


    After all, it was his own alpha. Ling Mu was also upset by his pitiful eyes, and finally amended his conditions: ¡°Three times a month.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang touched his stomach, and there was a long ¡°gu¡± inside. His stomach is miserable, but he still won¡¯t let it go: ¡°Twice a week.¡±


    For the welfare of his little brother, it must not be allowed!


    Ling Mu glared at him through gritted teeth: ¡°Then go hungry!¡±


    He turned around angrily, staring at the book absentmindedly, but after a while he smelled a nice perfume approaching.


    Looking at the snack bag handed in front of him, Qiu Zhenyang looked up at the girl with beautiful long hair and had an ominous premonition in his heart.


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s been a long time since your stomach has been ringing. You must be very hungry, right? I happen to have some food that I bought at noon, so why don¡¯t you use this to pad your stomach first.¡± The girl handed the snack bag with one hand, and stroked her hair with the other, revealing her long, white and smooth neck.


    Qiu Zhenyang was about to refuse, but he glanced at Ling Mu¡¯s reaction first.


    The latter didn¡¯t seem to hear anything, and kept his head down reading the book.


    Qiu Zhenyang sighed in his heart. Seems like he still had a long way to go to expect Ling Mu to be jealous.


    Thinking of this, he raised a bright smile at the girl and said euphemistically, ¡°Thank you for giving me something, but I can bear it for the time being. You should keep it for yourself. There are still three classes in the afternoon. Maybe you¡¯ll be hungry then.¡±


    With hair like ink, eyes like night, and exquisite facial features, the moment Qiu Zhenyang smiled, the girl couldn¡¯t help but want to scream!


    The girl glanced at Ling Mu next to him, her heart overcame her conscience, and continued: ¡°It¡¯s okay, I still have food over there, you can use this first!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he refused too much. So gentle. He cleared his throat and was about to speak harshly when suddenly another hand stretched out in front of him, holding a fruit the size of an apple.


    The hand was fair and slender, the fingers were slender, and the pink nails were round, neatly manicured, and quite familiar. As for why they were familiar, it was because Qiu Zhenyang helped Ling Mu fix them while he was sleeping, and every finger had experienced his gentle gaze.


    Qiu Zhenyang followed his hand to look over, but Ling Mu was still staring at the book. ¡°I took it from the refrigerator, like it or not.¡±


    ¡°!!!¡± Qiu Zhenyang took the fruit from Ling Mu¡¯s hand with a shocked expression. Xiao Mumu usually doesn¡¯t have the habit of bringing things to the classroom to eat, so today he¡­ brought it for himself! Qiu Zhenyang instantly felt that he was floating, and his eyes were filled with pink bubbles.


    When the girl next to her saw it, her face suddenly froze.


    It was not until the bell rang that Qiu Zhenyang noticed that the girl was still standing beside him. He took a bite of the fruit in his hand, the sweet and sour taste was great, and said to the girl with a happy face, ¡°Thank you very much, but no need, my wife brought me something to eat ¨C AH!¡±


    The sudden stomp caused his tone to change drastically. Qiu Zhenyang could only bite the fruit happily and in pain.


    Seeing the girl¡¯s dejected expression of biting her lips, Qiu Zhenyang added: ¡°Also, Ling Mu is my omega. Even if he didn¡¯t bring fruit today, I won¡¯t eat what other omegas give me.¡±


    For a while, the atmosphere was awkward. Taking a few deep breaths, she finally managed to stabilize her mind and turned her head back: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know what kind of relationship he had with you.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Qiu Zhenyang tilted his head and smiled with a hint of chill. ¡°Then I must¡¯ve misunderstood.¡±


    After the girl left, Qiu Zhenyang continued to nibble on the fruit in his hand.


    Less than ten percent of the school should be ignorant of his relationship with Ling Mu. Not to mention the attention on him, the previous live broadcast with Cheng An¡¯an exploded in the school, and even many outsiders know about it.


    Furthermore, the girl looked at Ling Mu with an obvious guilty conscience. She must have known about their relationship.


    Knowing their relationship, but still taking the initiative, is nothing more than looking down on Ling Mu¡¯s identity, feeling that the big Qiu family will not really let Ling Mu become Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s spouse.


    This was what most people thought.


    This is also a big difference Qiu Zhenyang gradually discovered between the Interstellar and his original world. Because there are too many such examples, most people don¡¯t respect other people¡¯s relationships, and they think that because they are good enough, they can easily ascend to the top. This is what Qiu Zhenyang has always been worried about.


    But it doesn¡¯t matter, as long as their Qiu family admits Ling Mu, as long as his heart is as strong as a rock, there will be no possibility of shaking their relationship.


    After eating the fruit, Qiu Zhenyang threw the core into the retractable trash can under the seat, wiped his hands with a tissue, and turned to look at Ling Mu. ¡°Are you jealous?¡±


    ¡°Are you bored and want to be beaten?¡± Ling Mu squinted at him and sneered. ¡°Why, you like long hair? I saw you staring at that long hair for a long time, do you like it? Oh, I¡¯m so sorry, I¡¯m a male omega, and it¡¯s impossible to have long hair.¡±


    This unusual tone made Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression collapse.


    Cold sweat started to break out on his forehead, and he quickly explained: ¡°No no no, I just thought that her hair is very suitable for mopping the floor, don¡¯t you think?¡±


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­Ha!¡±


    That¡¯s right, QZY ¨C haha!

 CH 68

    After the class, Qiu Zhenyang sorted out his schoolbag and left the classroom with Ling Mu.


    But not long after they went out, the two were stopped by Guan Tang.


    ¡°Ah, how are you! Ah, excuse me!¡± Guan Tang seemed to be running over from another classroom, probably out of breath for fear of not catching up with them.


    Qiu Zhenyang already knew his name from Ling Mu¡¯s mouth, so he greeted him kindly. ¡°Guan Tang, hello.¡±


    It was the peak of class, and there were a lot of people, so they found a corner with no people to talk. Because Guan Tang didn¡¯t say that he wanted to talk to Ling Mu alone this time, Qiu Zhenyang also followed.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m here to ask about a spot for the internal test¡­¡± Guan Tang smiled at Ling Mu, his eyes full of inquiry.


    Ling Mu squinted at Qiu Zhenyang and said nothing.


    The latter couldn¡¯t help smiling, and said generously to Guan Tang: ¡°Okay, you¡¯ve found the right person. Scan your boyfriend¡¯s terminal code, and I will send him the code later.¡±


    Guan Tang happily sent his boyfriend¡¯s terminal code to Qiu Zhenyang. After confirming it was sent, he couldn¡¯t hide his excitement, and pulled Ling Mu¡¯s hand. ¡°You guys are so kind. I¡¯ll treat you to dinner. Let¡¯s have dinner together, I¡¯ll pull my boyfriend over too! Thank you very much!¡±


    Ling Mu, whose hands were held, was a little uncomfortable, and wanted to refuse.


    But Qiu Zhenyang was one step ahead of him and agreed directly: ¡°Yes, then thank you.¡±


    Guan Tang agreed with the two of them on a time and place, and then ran away happily, unable to wait to share this joy with his boyfriend.


    Ling Mu turned his head and asked Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°Why did you agree?¡±


    The classmates in the corridor were almost gone by now, so Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu by the hand and explained, ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me about friends at noon? I¡¯ll take a look at it for you. This Guan Tang feels pretty good, and making friends when eating is possible.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang squeezed Ling Mu¡¯s hand, ¡°Anyway, I¡¯ll accompany you tonight. If you don¡¯t feel good, just leave. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    Since Ling Mu doesn¡¯t know anything about these things, it is necessary for Qiu Zhenyang to help him filter people out.


    After returning home and putting down their bags, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went to the gym. The two of them usually pay attention to fitness, so Ling Mu¡¯s physical strength and endurance are much better than the average omega.


    When it was almost time for dinner, the two went to their rooms to take a shower, changed their clothes, and went out together.


    When Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu arrived, Guan Tang was already standing in front of the restaurant.


    ¡°Ah, you guys are here, I¡¯ve already booked a private room inside, come in first!¡± Guan Tang welcomed the two in with a smile. But after they entered, he glanced anxiously at the time on his terminal and went outside to look around. After looking around a few times, he followed.


    After entering the private room, Guan Tang first handed the menu to Ling Mu. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my boyfriend was delayed by some things, and he will probably be a little late. You order first, he should be able to arrive when the food comes. Just order whatever you want.¡±


    Ling Mu nodded indifferently, pushed the menu towards Qiu Zhenyang, and motioned him to read it together.


    However, Qiu Zhenyang has always been uninterested in Interstellar food, so he just ordered a dish with a relatively normal name, leaving the rest to Ling Mu to order. Ling Mu ordered one more and then pushed Guan Tang back. He was really used to eating Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s dishes, and he wasn¡¯t much interested in these foods.


    Guan Tang saw that the two of them only ordered two dishes with some surprise. ¡°Is the food in this restaurant unpalatable? Why don¡¯t we change to another one? Anyway, there is still time, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang said immediately: ¡± No, no, we just don¡¯t know what¡¯s good in this store. We¡¯re afraid to be struck by lightning1as in picking something horrible, so why don¡¯t you help us order the rest.¡±


    Ling Mu nodded, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Qiu Zhenyang, and then for himself. Just as he was about to put down the kettle, after thinking about it, he took Guan Tang¡¯s cup and poured him a cup.


    ¡°Ah, thank you!¡± Guan Tang was a little flattered. Ling Mu used to feel too inhumane, which made Guan Tang feel shocked by the occasional closeness.


    After Guan Tang generously ordered a few more dishes, the three of them began to wait for the dishes to be served. Throughout, Guan Tang looked for topics to liven up the atmosphere, Qiu Zhenyang chatted socially, and although Ling Mu didn¡¯t talk much, he has been listening carefully to them.


    So far, Qiu Zhenyang is quite satisfied.


    But Guan Tang¡¯s boyfriend still didn¡¯t arrive when the food was served.


    Although neither Qiu Zhenyang nor Ling Mu mentioned this matter, Guan Tang felt very embarrassed. Originally, he invited them to repay their kindness, but it¡¯s rude to let them wait on an empty stomach!


    After talking about a topic, Guan Tang couldn¡¯t help but use the excuse of going to the bathroom to call his boyfriend.


    ¡°A¡¯chen, where have you been?¡± Guan Tang suppressed her anger and asked angrily.


    An impatient voice came from the opposite side: ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? I¡¯m almost here, just a minute or two.¡±


    Guan Tang tried to control his tone and said as gently as possible: ¡°If you really can¡¯t make it in time, don¡¯t come, and we¡¯ll eat directly. It¡¯s embarrassing to let them wait for so long.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the embarrassment for? Didn¡¯t I just say a minute or two. One sec, I¡¯m hanging up.¡±


    But no matter how angry he was, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu still had to know. After Guan Tang went back, he said that his boyfriend was coming soon, and bade them eat first.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, let¡¯s eat with him.¡± Qiu Zhenyang has always been patient, but Ling Mu is obviously starting to get impatient. When Guan Tang left, he wanted to leave, but Qiu Zhenyang forced him to stay so he sat down again.


    In the end, another ten minutes passed.


    ¡°Yo, the dishes are ready, I¡¯m dying of starvation, hurry up and eat!¡± Guan Tang¡¯s boyfriend finally arrived late, and he sat down and started to eat.


    Guan Tang quickly grabbed the man¡¯s arm to prevent him from moving. After winking several times, he turned around with a smile and introduced, ¡°This is my boyfriend Nie Chen, the senior of our sophomore year. A¡¯chen, this is Qiu Zhenyang and He Ling Mu, they gave you the spot for the internal test of ¡°Machine Warfare¡±!¡±


    Nie Chen swallowed what was in his mouth and looked at Qiu Zhenyang carefully for a while.


    Originally, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s expression was quite friendly, but the other party¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t seem to be kind, so his mouth gradually dropped, and his eyes became indifferent.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, isn¡¯t it? Oh, as expected of a rich man, he was able to make games independently after he went to college. Who knows if the game will work or not.¡± Nie Chen raised his glass, reluctantly, and raised his head to toast him.


    Guan Tang didn¡¯t expect him to say such a thing, so he couldn¡¯t help kicking him several times under the table.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, he has a very low EQ and always talks nonsense!¡±


    Guan Tang was still thinking about helping Nie Chen, but the other party didn¡¯t appreciate it. ¡°What nonsense? I¡¯m just describing objective facts. As for whether the game is okay, I have to wait until I have played it before I know it. What¡¯s wrong with what I said?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang has always been very personable, and since this person is Guan Tang¡¯s boyfriend, he just smiled and said ambiguously, ¡°Nie Chen is right. Whether it¡¯s good or not will only be known after playing it.¡±


    Ling Mu and Guan Tang both sensed the smell of testosterone between the two of them. The latter was so anxious that his forehead sweated. The former ignored them and ate silently.


    However, after just two bites, he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. After eating Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s dishes for a long time, it was really difficult to accept these foods.


    Therefore, Nie Chen was the only one eating happily at the dinner table. Guan Tang also found things tasteless. After poking his chopsticks in the bowl several times, he didn¡¯t eat much.


    When Nie Chen had finished about half of the dishes on the table, a call came in. He answered the phone while eating, and turned on the speakerphone for convenience.


    ¡°Brother Chen, didn¡¯t you agree to play games with me? Why aren¡¯t you online yet?¡±


    A coquettish voice that made one¡¯s skin crawl came from the terminal. Ling Mu¡¯s hand shook, and his chopsticks fell on the ground with a clatter. Taking a sip of water, Qiu Zhenyang wiped his mouth with a tissue, and looked at Guan Tang, and found that the other party¡¯s face turned pale, and his eyes became obviously dim.


    ¡°I¡¯m eating.¡± Nie Chen replied, ignoring those beside him. He didn¡¯t forget to keep eating while he talked.


    The girl on the other end of the phone was a little unhappy at his reply. ¡°Is brother Chen accompanying his boyfriend? Oh, really, how can someone stick to their partner so much, it¡¯s just for a meal. Isn¡¯t our game tonight important? Brother Chen, if you don¡¯t come, you can¡¯t blame us if we lose~¡±


    Guan Tang was so angry that he seemed to want to grab the terminal and argue with the woman, but Nie Chen held him down.


    ¡°I see, I¡¯ll be there soon, you guys go online and wait for me first.¡±


    After saying this, Nie Chen hung up the phone and ate the dish in his bowl before lowering his head.


    Guan Tang couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, frowned and asked Nie Chen in front of Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you really want to leave?¡±


    Nie Chen stood up: ¡°I¡¯ll leave first, you guys eat slowly.¡±


    ¡°Nie Chen, please stop for me! Do you know the meaning of tonight¡¯s meal? People are willing to give you a spot for the internal test, yet you use this kind of attitude to repay them?¡± Although Guan Tang is petite and cute, his aura is quite intimidating when he¡¯s angry. If they weren¡¯t in a private room, his loud voice would probably attract the attention of many people.


    But Nie Chen wasn¡¯t fazed. ¡°So annoying, saying so much. I¡¯m leaving.¡±


    He didn¡¯t even have the patience to explain, and just left Guan Tang here.


    The door was pulled, and the room fell silent. Guan Tang sat down again, downcast and distressed.


    Ling Mu suddenly opened his mind for some reason, and pushed Guan Tang the tissue next to him, signaling him to use it.


    ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Guan Tang took out a piece of paper and blew her nose very loudly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t expect this to happen. If I knew earlier, he wouldn¡¯t be allowed to come here, why don¡¯t we just eat.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang tapped his fingers on the table twice: ¡°Although it¡¯s not good to say these words because we¡¯ve only known each other for a short while, I still advise you to see clearly as soon as possible and not get too deep.¡±


    Ling Mu was more direct: ¡°What do you like about him?¡±


    Guan Tang sighed helplessly, with memories in his eyes. ¡°I am a person who likes to play games, but because players are generally unfriendly to omegas, it¡¯s difficult for me to play. I was scolded for a while and almost retired. Later, after coming here, I was introduced to the school¡¯s game club. Back then he brought me to play, and didn¡¯t mind if I was terrible. I¡¯ve been with him since then.¡±


    This experience was really¡­ unexpected.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows and decided not to say anything.


    With Nie Chen¡¯s disturbance, the meal could no longer be eaten, so Guan Tang went to settle the bill hastily.


    ? Scumbag alert! ?

 CH 69

    When preparing to say goodbye, Guan Tang asked Ling Mu to exchange numbers.


    Ling Mu did not refuse, and gave his terminal number directly. Guan Tang was a little surprised, but also a little excited. He squeezed his fist and said, ¡°I thought you would have to consider whether to give it or not.¡±


    Ling Mu was puzzled: ¡°What is there to consider?¡±


    ¡°I just feel that you might not be willing to be my friend. After all, you seem to be unwilling to communicate with others.¡± Guan Tang thought for a while, and came up with such a sentence.


    Ling Mu couldn¡¯t refute it. He didn¡¯t want to pay attention to others. Recalling that he always approached him this semester, Ling Mu suddenly asked, ¡°You must have a lot of friends, why do you always pester me?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was quite relieved at their interaction, but Ling Mu¡¯s words made him want to vomit blood. He quickly stepped in,  ¡°The way you asked is wrong, you should ask him what is so special about you that attracts him, so he wants to make friends with you.¡±


    Ling Mu raised his eyebrows: ¡°Oh, is that so¡­¡±


    Guan Tang smiled after hearing the conversation between them, and said enviously, ¡°The two of you have such a good relationship~ Actually, I understand what Ling Mu means. It¡¯s because I think you are cool. Your personality is similar to my dad¡¯s, which makes me feel you¡¯re very kind!¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s expression was a bit indescribable.


    Just when Qiu Zhenyang was about to say goodbye and leave, Guan Tang suddenly received a call. He glanced down, and it was Nie Chen who called.


    Although what happened just now made him very angry, Guan Tang still answered the phone: ¡°Hey, what¡¯s the matter? If you want to apologize, just admit your mistake while I¡¯m in a good mood, maybe I¡¯ll forgive you right away.¡±


    While listening, Qiu Zhenyang took off his jacket and put it on for Ling Mu. This guy didn¡¯t bring a jacket since he felt it was too hot out. Qiu Zhenyang felt that the weather might be cold at night, so he brought a thin jacket to put on him.


    Hearing Nie Chen, he felt if Nie Chen apologized, he would have been a little conscientious, but the other party¡¯s words caused him to be full of disgust.


    ¡°What kind of apology? You give me the money first to buy new props. Our club has finally climbed to the top three. We can¡¯t fall down just because we can¡¯t afford a prop. You are also one of the members of the club, don¡¯t you know how to contribute?¡±


    Guan Tang¡¯s expression instantly collapsed, and there seemed to be infinite grievances in his eyes.


    With an ¡°oh¡± sound, he frowned and lowered his head and pressed the terminal until he had sent the money before asking Nie Chen again, ¡°Have you received it?¡±


    The other side said ¡°I received it¡±, and then without thanking him, hung up.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at him staring blankly at the terminal, sighed inwardly, and asked him, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with the money? Does everyone in the club have to pay?¡±


    Guan Tang shook his head: ¡°No, they don¡¯t have much money. My parents run a small business, so I have a little bit of money. Besides, my skills are poor, so I can¡¯t help and can only contribute some money.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was speechless when he heard this, but Ling Mu said, ¡°Don¡¯t you think they use you as an ATM?¡±


    It¡¯s direct and hurtful enough.


    Hearing this made Guan Tang feel even more uncomfortable. His mouth shriveled and there was a pack of tears in his eyes that refused to fall.


    ¡°I advise you to break up with him sooner rather than later, instead of keeping this man for another year.¡± Ling Mu pulled the coat that Qiu Zhenyang had put on him.


    Qiu Zhenyang could only leave one last sentence: ¡°If you have any difficulties, you¡¯re welcome to find us. We¡¯ll leave first.¡±


    He waved his hand, leaving Guan Tang standing alone, sighing for a long time before calming down a little. He walked slowly to his dormitory.


    After returning to the dormitory, Qiu Zhenyang went to the kitchen to cook something simple, and the two of them shared the meal.


    After eating and drinking, Ling Mu nibbled the fruit on the sofa and asked Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°Why doesn¡¯t Guan Tang break up with that kind of person?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not too clear either. Maybe there¡¯s something we¡¯re not seeing, or maybe he likes Nie Chen very much?¡± Qiu Zhenyang doesn¡¯t like gossiping, and his relationship with Guan Tang is not close enough, so he had no qualifications to go into it.


    ¡°If you¡¯re really curious, you can ask him yourself. Don¡¯t you have Guan Tang¡¯s terminal number now? I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll be happy to chat or something.¡± Qiu Zhenyang guided Ling Mu to take the initiative to make friends. Guan Tang is a very suitable person to be friends with Ling Mu.


    However, Ling Mu was obviously not as active as he thought. After a little pondering, he refused: ¡°No, let it be. It¡¯s annoying.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡±


    Well, Xiao Mumu has a bad temperament and is annoyed about everything. It is also fortunate that he chased Ling Mu so fiercely that he did not have a chance to breathe.


    Seeing Ling Mu go back to his room, Qiu Zhenyang followed, but before he could enter the door, he saw the door slam shut in front of him with a bang.


    Also locked.


    Alas, another night without a wife.


    ¡ª¡ª


    A few days later, the game cabin sent by his grandmother arrived.


    It happened to be Sunday. Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu stayed at home directly, ready to get acquainted with them first.


    Because they have the highest authority levels, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu can directly enter the game before the internal test starts.


    There are two kinds of game cabins, one is a custom model, and the other is a standard model. The standard model is larger and fits most players, while the customized model can be made according to the different requirements of each player, making it more comfortable, and of course more expensive.


    ¡°After entering, look for room 005 so we can play together.¡± Qiu Zhenyang said to Ling Mu before entering the game cabin.


    At the moment of connection, Qiu Zhenyang felt sleepy for a while, then closed his eyes. When he opened them again, it was a completely different world.


    His consciousness appeared in the form of a human on a bright and wide ground. The land was endless, full of hanging doors standing not far away. Each of the floating doors looks very thin, but once they are opened and entered, players will automatically be matched or enter a team room.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked around, Ling Mu was not here.


    He didn¡¯t hesitate, and walked directly to a nearby door. The door opened automatically, and Qiu Zhenyang walked into the ray of light.


    ¡°Please enter a room number or choose a random match.¡±


    ¡°005.¡± After Qiu Zhenyang said the room number, the surrounding scene immediately changed, forming a room the size of an ordinary living room with sofas and chairs in the room. Although everything¡¯s virtual, the game will scan the human body to calculate the physical strength and mental strength of each player to determine their ¡®talent¡¯ setting. This also means taking breaks can help improve endurance.


    Qiu Zhenyang walked to the sofa and sat down, clicked on the instructions, and began to read.


    These explanations are basically provided by Qiu Zhenyang to the technical team, and the person in charge has also talked to him in detail. These instructions are indeed clear enough to be understood.


    ¡°Machine Warfare¡± is similar to a MOBA game in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s previous world. It uses a planet as the playing field, with 20 players divided into two teams. Each player controls a character on a team, and can earn gold coins by eliminating aliens. These coins are used to buy equipment in the virtual mall, allowing them to become stronger and destroy the mothership of the opposing team, which is the final victory condition.


    Each game differs depending on players¡¯ choices. Each team of ten people can select the map after entering the game. At that time, the system will randomly select one of the maps selected by everyone.


    Qiu Zhenyang roughly scanned the instructions, and Ling Mu also came in at this moment.


    He looked around the room curiously. After all, he didn¡¯t play games, so he was curious about this mode.


    ¡°Come on, come over and read the game introduction first. I¡¯ll team up with you to play a game later. Just listen to me and I¡¯ll show you the ropes.¡± Qiu Zhenyang waved Ling Mu over, and pulled up the video instructions, and projected it on the wall.


    Even without playing the game, the video explanation is clear, and Ling Mu had a general understanding after watching it once.


    Immediately afterwards, Qiu Zhenyang confirmed the mode and started a man-machine match.


    In the team mode, one can choose whether to turn on the voice or not. After Qiu Zhenyang turned on the voice, he instructed Ling Mu: ¡°You come with me first, temporarily serve as my assistant, and I will take you through it.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang chose the role of the marshal, the highest up the command chain on the team. As for Ling Mu, he picked the adjutant, an auxiliary position. There are still two fixed scouts, and the remaining six characters can choose to be guards or assault soldiers. There is no limit to the number of these.


    In the early stage, improving team economy depends on harvesting aliens and some alien bosses. While explaining, Qiu Zhenyang led Ling Mu to drive the mecha and slowly explore, while the rest of NPCs carried out the tasks he assigned.


    When the level reached 10 and all the mecha¡¯s moves were unlocked, Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu to start a sneak attack.


    There are two scouts in the team. They drive the lightest mechas, which are fast, stealthy, and can also fly, making it easy to find the location of enemy members and track and mark them.


    Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu to ambush a marked enemy assaulter first. He cooperated with his teammates to take down the three opposite assaulters. The enemy scouts were directly killed by the robot teammates that Qiu Zhenyang commanded. Next, the guards fell as they were unable to resist without help from the assault soldiers. The game ended without the marshal and adjutant of the other party arriving.


    After the fight was over, Ling Mu was still a little confused.


    Although he is not familiar with the game, just a simple man-machine game made him nervous, and excited!


    The great thing about this game is that all the means of attack and defense, and even the combat effects, are within the technical scope allowed by the Interstellar Military Department. It¡¯s very different from what¡¯s in school, and more closely resembles real battle!


    For Ling Mu, this is what he wants to experience the most!


    ¡°One more time?¡± After returning to the room, Ling Mu still couldn¡¯t calm down, and even made another request to Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Okay, you can play as many rounds as you want.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled dotingly, ¡°You can do anything as long as you like, but¡­that twice a week?¡±


    He winked at Ling Mu, his expression rippling.


    Originally, Qiu Zhenyang was only habitually teasing him, and he didn¡¯t hold out much hope, but what he didn¡¯t expect was that this time, under the temptation of the mecha, Ling Mu actually nodded and agreed!


    At that moment, Qiu Zhenyang almost thought that he was dazzled, so he confirmed again: ¡°You agree?¡±


    Ling Mu frowned and looked at him. ¡°Didn¡¯t I nod?¡±


    ¡°I was afraid I was hallucinating because of my expectations. I can rest assured if you give me a verbal answer!¡± With Ling Mu¡¯s nod, Qiu Zhenyang felt that his whole body grow hot. Not to mention playing games, even if he was really on the battlefield, it was enough!


    The energetic Qiu Zhenyang rolled up his sleeves, ready to show off his skills!


    ¡°Come on, your husband, I will last forever, and will bring us to win 100 games!¡±


    This time Mumu pitted himself.

 CH 70

    Because ¡°Machine Warfare¡± scans the human body to calculate a player¡¯s physical and mental strength, this game broke the rules and destroyed some people¡¯s bad impression of games.


    After all, staying in a game cabin for too long can lead to physical problems. The settings of ¡°Machine Warfare¡±, however, made players pay more attention to physical fitness, forcing them to pursue a healthy body for a better gaming experience.


    Qiu Zhenyang knew that this might seem cumbersome in the eyes of many players, but he wasn¡¯t concerned people would leave because of it.


    Because, this is an addictive game that you can¡¯t stop playing!


    Originally, according to Ling Mu¡¯s idea, he planned to practice until dinner time in the evening, but he couldn¡¯t play for more than three hours. A game lasted for almost an hour, and he only played four games in total, and when he came out of the game cabin, he was still not satisfied.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged, we can do more exercise together to strengthen physical strength, and the game time can be extended.¡± Qiu Zhenyang comforted Ling Mu and walked downstairs to the living room with him, thinking about what to do in the evening.


    As a result, Ling Mu directly grabbed his arm on the stairs, stood on the steps one step higher than Qiu Zhenyang, and looked at him reluctantly.¡±Why don¡¯t you look tired at all?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was stunned for a moment. He couldn¡¯t help smiling: ¡°Because I¡¯m an alpha, an alpha has much better physical strength than an omega.¡±


    Ling Mu was very dissatisfied with this statement: ¡°My physical strength is also very good.¡±


    Crawling and rolling, if it wasn¡¯t for his physical strength and running fast, don¡¯t know how many times he would have been beaten to death by those alphas who were looking for trouble.


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t expect this, but after thinking through it, he nodded in agreement. ¡°Yes, my wife¡¯s physical strength is really good. Thinking about how you survived that week, I still think it¡¯s incredible. What!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, the king of flirting, made Ling Mu¡¯s ears red with a single sentence. The latter used the ostrich strategy to pretend not to hear, and ran downstairs, and quickly escaped.


    Having been immersed in the game just now, they didn¡¯t realize they were hungry and missed lunch, and finally felt it now.


    Qiu Zhenyang made some simple meals with the fastest speed. Ling Mu is not a picky eater. As long as Qiu Zhenyang cooks it, he has never disliked it.


    After lunch, they lay down on the two sofas in the living room to relax.


    The weather is getting colder, the air conditioner was turned off, so they opened the windows to led in the natural breeze.


    The overly comfortable environment made both Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu drowsy. The temperature belonging to the sun was brought in sporadically by the soft wind. The hair on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s forehead was swayed, and the corners of Ling Mu¡¯s shirt fluttered gently. It was quiet and beautiful.


    ¡ª¡ª¨C


    There is less than a week before the day of the closed beta. As long as they had free time, Qiu Zhenyang would almost always bring Ling Mu into the game. Ling Mu does have talent in driving mecha. After a week, he¡¯s almost able to keep up with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pace, and can even lead an offensive mecha team by himself to face the local adjutant.


    Qiu Zhenyang also let Ling Mu play the role of the marshal a few times, and found that his overall situational thinking and strategy are in place, and he is a good leader.


    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s always boring to play just the two of them, so they¡¯ve been looking forward to the closed beta at 8:00 on Saturday morning.


    After finally waiting until the night before the start of the service, the two of them set an alarm clock to avoid accidentally oversleeping.


    Ring ring ring-


    When the alarm clock rang, Ling Mu flicked in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arms and opened his eyes instantly.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, get up¡­¡± He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, his sour body movements a little stiff.


    The other party didn¡¯t want to open his eyes, frowning as he hugged the waist of the person in his arms. Then he pulled them back, and hugged his soft wife and rubbed hard.


    Ling Mu was thinking about the beta, and pushed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face indiscriminately, trying to pull himself out of his sturdy arms. ¡°Get up quickly, it¡¯s half past seven. Get something to eat and go to the game, the internal test will be launched today. There should be a lot of people.¡±


    Last night, Qiu Zhenyang pestered him to do it for a long time. If it wasn¡¯t for Ling Mu¡¯s insistence that he could only do it once, Qiu Zhenyang might have tossed him until the morning!


    But even so, this time was extremely unbearable, and Ling Mu deeply regretted that he actually agreed to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s conditions.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t get up again, next week¡¯s chance will be nulled!¡± After finally getting up from the bed, Ling Mu yelled at Qiu Zhenyang before returning to his room to wash and dress, which immediately woke Qiu Zhenyang up. Yawning, he sat up, casually grabbed the shirt at the head of the bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.


    He moved quickly, so when Ling Mu went downstairs, Qiu Zhenyang was already preparing breakfast.


    ¡°This is the sandwich I prepared last night. It¡¯s already hot. I¡¯ll heat the milk.¡±


    Because he was worried that he would not be able to get up this morning, Qiu Zhenyang prepared breakfast last night.


    Ling Mu also entered the kitchen, took two fruits from the refrigerator, and peeled them. Because Ling Mu had the experience of cutting his finger before, Qiu Zhenyang bought very safe kitchen utensils for Ling Mu to use when he wanted to do it. For example, a fruit-cutting knife with complete protection measures, so even a novice who knows nothing will not be hurt.


    The two prepared breakfast together, then brought it to the living room and finished it together.


    ¡°Okay, it¡¯s almost eight o¡¯clock, let¡¯s play.¡± The two of them didn¡¯t eat slowly, so it was almost launch time when they finished.


    They each went back to their rooms, entered the game cabin, and waited for the game to start.


    At the same time, tens of thousands of players entered their game cabins and waited in various places in the capital star where the internal test of ¡°Machine Warfare¡± was launched.


    At eight o¡¯clock, the game officially opens!


    ¡°Welcome all players to the game world of ¡°Machine Warfare¡±. Please perform real-name authentication first, choose basic player information, and choose your game settings.¡±


    Everyone filled in their information, picked their in-game name, and then set up their appearance. Changes were made, with most opting not to reveal their true looks or gender.


    ¡°Dear players, please choose a random room or select one after entering the door. There will be a preliminary instructional video when entering the room later.¡±


    According to the command of the system, everyone chose the random option. After all It¡¯s the first time playing, and they don¡¯t have the awareness of making a team.


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu entered the same room as before. There was also a live broadcast setup in the room. Qiu Zhenyang operated the live broadcast and started to broadcast to his own platform. Because this broadcast is equivalent to marketing publicity so everyone can gain a preliminary understanding, Qiu Zhenyang chose the official account of ¡°Machine Wars¡±. He planned to set up a separate account for Ling Mu in the future.


    Because Qiu Zhenyang made a high-profile announcement during the live stream, many people poured in to watch the launch of the internal test.


    Considering that everyone was probably watching the instructional video, they waited a bit before queuing. But despite this, they had to wait nearly 10 minutes to be matched.


    After finally being matched, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were stunned, and eagerly waited to enter.


    After the game started, Qiu Zhenyang was about to open the voice to discuss with everyone about his role as the marshal, but before he could start, the marshal had already been chosen by another player in seconds.


    He raised his eyebrows, there is no marshal so take the adjutant.


    As soon as the idea came out, the adjutant was chosen.


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡±


    In short, when Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were silent, the marshal, adjutant, and assault soldiers were all selected. There were two fixed scout positions left, and no guards.


    ¡°There are no guards to shield the mothership, are you going to use your body to build a city wall? Didn¡¯t you study the instructions?¡± Ling Mu was angry, and immediately exploded.


    As soon as he opened his mouth, someone immediately retorted: ¡°What kind of guards do you want? You haven¡¯t played any other games, brother. With me as a marshal, you can¡¯t lose.¡±


    Another commando player sneered: ¡°This game is really disgusting, you still choose your own characters, is it interesting to fight those rookies without strength?¡±


    ¡°Who are you calling a rookie? I¡¯ll let you see the strength of 8 years of experience in ¡°Spark¡± later!¡±


    Even the adjutant mixed in: ¡°A group of idiots, talking big.¡±


    In short, before the game started, everyone started to mock each other¡­


    This situation appeared in the live broadcast, and barrages appeared in an instant:


    [Why is this game like this? Such a strange pattern.]


    [Go away, trash game.]


    [I feel this is very interesting!]


    [These people are really ugly, they mock others for a few pounds and a few taels!]


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t see the situation in the live broadcast room, but he was speechless in the face of such a situation. He knew that this situation didn¡¯t only happen to him, it should¡¯ve appeared in most of the first games. After all, everyone is used to a system assigning characters randomly, so such changes will definitely bring discomfort and conflict.


    But there is no need to change anything, and things will definitely change over time.


    The game started with everyone¡¯s ridicule. Because Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu took on the role of scouts, their attack and defense power were very low, but their speed was fast enough. The two chose two different routes, and at the same time turned on the room voice to exchange information.


    Each game of ¡°Machine Warfare¡± is based on a small planet, but because the speed of the mecha is extremely fast, it basically only takes three or four minutes to walk the entire map.


    In the process of scouting, Qiu Zhenyang cleaned up all the alien beasts along the way, and bought equipment with his pocket full of virtual coins. Although these players have read the instructions, they obviously do not agree with it. They are limited to their previous game cognition and played in their own way.


    Qiu Zhenyang was actually too lazy to talk, but remembered that he was currently broadcasting live and had to attract players. After thinking about it, he should still be a commentator.


    ¡°In the map, these alien beasts are all useful. Destroying alien beasts or the opponent¡¯s mecha can earn virtual currency to buy attack, defense, or attribute bonus equipment. What I have now is a scout. Attack and defense are lower, but the advantage is fast speed and high perception, suitable for tracking and scouting.¡±


    As he spoke, an enemy assault soldier appeared in his eyes.


    Qiu Zhenyang first explained to the audience in the live broadcast room explaining the conventional role of a scout. After speaking, he used his speed to approach, and then used his superb fighter to take away the opponent¡¯s head.


    ¡°If the scouts have no financial support in the early stage, it is not recommended to confront assault troops head-on.¡± He said coolly, and then moved on.


    At this moment, the barrage has exploded:


    [My god, the action just now is so handsome!]


    [This game is so realistic, the operations and movements of those mechas just now are as good as the real ones!]


    [As expected of the young master of a Legion family, he has the right to receive support from the military. You must know that ¡°Spark¡± has only obtained the privilege of requisitioning the shape of mechas. These offensive or defensive operations and images are not within the scope of authorization!]


    [My god, even the scouts can do so well, I regret not getting a spot for the beta!]


    [Me too! Can¡¯t wait to play the game!]


    Just relying on one head, Qiu Zhenyang has already moved the audience¡¯s emotions.


    And when the staff, following Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s previous instigation, released a screen of Ling Mu on the live broadcast, the entire room exploded.


    [Anchor: Ling Mu¡­is that Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s omega? This skill???]


    [My god, so strong. He¡¯s also a scout, and the speed of killing the opponent¡¯s assault soldiers is not slower than Qiu Zhenyang!]


    [This is the first time I¡¯ve seen an omega that is so good at playing games¡­ is it fake?]


    [So handsome, so handsome! Woohoo, finally an omega has breathed out for us! Alphas and betas think no omegas are good at playing games! Please eliminate prejudice!]


    [What are you yelling about, that person is just too naive, this omega will still have to crawl later.]


    [+1 for removing prejudice! This omega is my new idol!]


    Just like that, before Ling Mu didn¡¯t know it, his handsome operation had already made him the idol of many omegas.

    T/N: Going forward, ¡°Machine Warfare¡± will be ¡°Machine Wars¡±. The latter rolls off the tongue more smoothly.


    Although the teammates were not good enough and sent several heads in a row, with the efforts of Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, the team quickly won the victory.


    The other ten had no gaming experience, and even wanted to cry a little.


    When he finally won, Qiu Zhenyang also said a sentence in the live broadcast room: ¡°I¡¯m a little sorry for the other side, because I and Xiao Mumu have been practicing man-machine battle for a week as preparation for today¡¯s live broadcast. I think there are two players on the opposite side who are pretty good, and will try to invite them to play together later.¡±


    After exiting, Qiu Zhenyang tried to invite them. One person clicked to agree to come in, while the other person had already started a new match.


    After the visitor entered, Qiu Zhenyang was just about to start the game, when the person spoke first: ¡°So you are really Qiu Zhenyang?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was named, was stunned: ¡°What?


    ¡°I can watch your live broadcast here.¡± This person with the id ¡°whiteboard¡± is a senior player. In order to master the game as soon as possible, he watched the live broadcast in his mecha while playing. Because it¡¯s a holographic game, players can directly connect online inside their mechas, which is why he could watch the live broadcast while playing.


    Qiu Zhenyang was immediately helpless. ¡°Play the game well, what are you watching the broadcast for?¡±


    After complaining, he still clicked to start a new game.


    This time, because of preparations in advance, Qiu Zhenyang quickly grabbed the marshal, while Ling Mu chose an assault soldier.


    ¡°Great god, what should I choose?¡± Whiteboard was excited because Qiu Zhenyang said in the live broadcast room that he played well, and his manipulation and analysis were really good, so he couldn¡¯t help but follow his pace.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at the lineup. It was another round in which no guards were selected.


    ¡°Guardian, this role is easy to be overlooked, but is actually very useful. Defense is very important in the whole game, especially when protecting the mothership and buying time for teammates.¡±


    He immediately responded and chose to play as a guard.


    At the beginning of the game, this time Qiu Zhenyang directly coordinated the overall situation, opened the marshal¡¯s widest range of vision, and directed his teammates to fumble and attack according to his rhythm.


    It¡¯s just that very few people are really willing to listen to his instructions, and most players are still reckless. In the first minute they were so confident and felt they could take down the opponent¡¯s entire team by themselves.


    There were few people who could be mobilized, and Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t say anything. He just started his own attack.


    Thirty minutes later, Qiu Zhenyang won again.


    The popularity of his live broadcast continued to rise. After watching the live broadcast while playing, some people even quit the game to watch Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s operation seriously. This game is very unique, but if everyone recognizes their own strength, chooses a role that suits them. and cooperates with their teammates, victory is almost guaranteed!


    After each game, Qiu Zhenyang would bring some more skilled opponents or cooperative teammates to the room to play together. In the end, the team he temporarily formed was completely invincible, killing a bloody path among a bunch of novice players!


    Because a ranking system was also added to ¡°Machine Wars¡±, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu had the highest rank in the next morning. Their ids were on the leaderboard, which was very eye-catching.


    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s it for this morning. I¡¯m going offline to prepare lunch.¡± Qiu Zhenyang saw that it was almost twelve o¡¯clock and was ready to go offline.


    Ling Mu naturally had no objection. Last week, he had a lot of fun playing with Qiu Zhenyang.


    And to tell the truth, playing against these newbies is not as fun as playing against the computer.


    ¡°Boss Qiu, can you take me to fight next time?¡± Just when Qiu Zhenyang was about to go offline, someone in the room quickly stopped him.


    This person was the one who was pulled into the room by Qiu Zhenyang at the beginning. His skills were really good, and he was very cooperative with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s assignments, and followed in his footsteps.


    Hearing him say that, other people also began to ask: ¡°Yes, yes, take us with you, add a friend!¡±


    ¡°We can be friends. Everything else will depend on the games.¡± Qiu Zhenyang accepted their friend requests, waved his hand, and went offline.


    After coming out of the game cabin, Qiu Zhenyang stretched. Sure enough, one can¡¯t stay in the game cabin for too long, otherwise your muscles will become stiff.


    After leaving the room, Qiu Zhenyang was about to go downstairs, but after thinking for a while, he knocked on Ling Mu¡¯s door. He came out of the game before him, so he should be up.


    ¡°What?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s decadent voice came from inside, and Qiu Zhenyang was a little worried, so he twisted the door handle and went in.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, are you uncomfortable?¡± When he went in, Ling Mu was lying on the bed and looked up at him slightly. Qiu Zhenyang thought he was not feeling well.


    Ling Mu raised his arm to cover his eyes. ¡°Sleepy. Let me sleep for a while, I don¡¯t want to eat.¡±


    Last night, Qiu Zhenyang really squeezed him a lot, and he spent a whole morning focusing on playing games. It was overdue for his body to protest. He was so sleepy his eyes could hardly remain open.


    Thinking of his beastly behavior last night, Qiu Zhenyang smiled shyly. He helped shut the curtains in the room, then helped Ling Mu take off his pants and shirt, and gently stuffed them into the quilt, so that he could have a good rest.


    ¡°Then come down to eat when you wake up.¡±


    Finally, he warned, seeing that Ling Mu had closed his eyes and his breathing gradually calmed down, Qiu Zhenyang stepped out lightly.


    After finishing the lunch, Qiu Zhenyang saved some of it, and then he sat on the sofa in the living room. Opening his terminal, he navigated to the game platform and forum of ¡°Machine Wars¡±, and slowly read through it.


    This new game attracted the attention of most players in the entire interstellar space in just one morning.


    Because of its novel game mode and independent settings, it drew much attention and commentary.


    Most reviews are mixed. Although many people like the game and say that the game is interesting, there are also many players who feel that the mode is too weird and declared they would give up.


    He anticipated such comments, but there were also things he didn¡¯t expect.


    That is, there was actually a post dedicated to Ling Mu. It has already become a high-rise building1many replies and has become a hot post.


    He curiously clicked into the post titled [Omega Male god in the Game World ¨C Ling Mu]. The corners of his eyes began twitching the moment he landed on the contents.


    [I heard that OO love seems to be legal in recent years, right? Then I now officially announce that I am going to pursue this omega!]


    Qiu Zhenyang sneered and muttered to himself: ¡°Are you kidding me? Ling Mu is mine. Asking for a beating trying to grab someone with me? It doesn¡¯t matter if you are an omega, if you dare to grab my wife, don¡¯t think I¡¯ll let you go¡­¡±


    Continuing to read, it turned out the style of the floor below was surprisingly consistent with the main building.2main building = OP (original post), and floors below = replies


    [He is really handsome! I¡¯ve never seen an omega who is so good at playing games. I really want to make friends with him. Will he be willing to teach me how to play games?]


    [Don¡¯t talk about games, he is so handsome in real life! He doesn¡¯t look like an omega at all, and can compare to AB3alphas and betas. So tall and handsome!]


    [Upstairs, where did you see his photo?]


    [Go to the official website of the First Consortium to find a photo of Master Qiu and Ling Mu.]


    [My god, he looks handsome and plays games well. What¡¯s the use of AB!]


    Qiu Zhenyang shook his head speechlessly. These omegas really have serious love brains¡­ Now he has to guard not only against alphas and betas, but also omegas!


    The more he thought about it, the more tired his heart was¡­


    ¡ª¡ª¨C


    Ling Mu slept until the night when he was woken up by a phone call.


    In a daze, he opened the terminal and put it to his ear to answer when a burst of crying suddenly sounded, which directly scared him awake.


    ¡°Ling Mu woo woo, can you, can you come and pick me up¡­ I can¡¯t woo woo woo!¡±


    Guan Tang stumbled and talked for a long time, but he was too emotional and his words were incoherent. Ling Mu could only ask him for an address, and after figuring out the address, he hung up the phone amidst Guan Tang¡¯s cries.


    Ling Mu sighed and rolled over from the bed, opened the curtains to take a look, and found that it was already dark, so he immediately changed his clothes and went downstairs.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was reading downstairs, thought that Ling Mu was coming down to eat when he heard the sound, but Ling Mu went straight to the shoe cabinet, put on his shoes, and said, ¡°Guan Tang has something going on, I¡¯m going out first.¡±


    ¡°Guan Tang? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qiu Zhenyang put down the book and frowned. ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten lunch and dinner. If it¡¯s not a hurry, eat some before leaving.¡±


    Ling Mu shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on on his side, and I want to see the situation first. He¡¯s crying a lot.¡±


    Since something happened, Qiu Zhenyang definitely couldn¡¯t let Ling Mu go alone. He quickly got up and ran upstairs. ¡°Wait a sec, I¡¯ll go with you. Let me change my clothes first.¡±


    They hurried to the address Guan Tang mentioned, which turned out to be a bar. On the academy grounds, there are about 4-5 bars, all of which are hidden in the most secret corners of the commercial street. Generally, not many people go there. After all, the students of the Interstellar Academy prefer to study.


    The two of them didn¡¯t hesitate much and went straight in to find him.


    Now that the number of people in the bar is gradually increasing, Qiu Zhenyang noticed that there seemed to be a group having a party, drinking and laughing around the corner table. It was very lively.


    Ling Mu found the restroom based on what he heard on the phone, and after entering, he directly asked loudly, ¡°Guan Tang, where are you?¡±


    Guan Tang, who had been hiding in the innermost compartment, heard Ling Mu¡¯s voice and burst into tears. ¡°I-I¡¯m here! Woo¡­¡±


    Feeling nervous at the sudden outburst of tears, Ling Mu hurriedly walked in. Qiu Zhenyang stood at the door of the bathroom, keeping an eye out. After all, it¡¯s still unclear what happened. This bathroom is shared by all genders, so it¡¯s better to pay attention.


    When Ling Mu saw Guan Tang in the cubicle, he was also startled.


    He had never seen anyone cry so much.


    Guan Tang¡¯s face was full of tears, but because there was no tissue in the restroom, his face was a mix of tears and snot. Ling Mu¡¯s face twisted into indescribable disgust.


    With a ¡°tsk¡±, he took out a packet of tissues from his pocket and handed it over.


    Seeing Guan Tang wiping his face with a tissue, Ling Mu raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    His eyes widened as he looked at Ling Mu in despair and grief. ¡°I broke up with Nie Chen.¡±


    Ling Mu frowned, ¡°Oh, you broke up? Then you are not too stupid.¡±


    Guan Tang: ¡°Waa!¡±


    He started crying again.


    Ling Mu¡¯s face was cold. There was an urge to seal his mouth¡­


    After finally stopping, Guan Tang continued to sob and said, ¡°This afternoon, Nie Chen told me to come to the bar for a club party. When I came over, it was just drinking and chatting. Later, a few seniors and seniors chatted about the game ¡°Machine Wars¡±, and I listened to the side. After talking, they asked me to pay for our club to form a team.¡±


    ¡°Machine Wars¡± has a team system, this Ling Mu knows, but¡­


    ¡°Why did they ask you to pay again? There are no items that cost money in the game during the internal beta.¡± The more Ling Mu listened, the angrier he was. Guan Tang let them bully him like this?


    Listening to Ling Mu¡¯s words, Guan Tang sniffed and nodded. ¡°I also brought it up, but they just asked me if they would give me money or not! I was very angry at the time, so I was very tough. I said no, and then two seniors started to scold me, and what annoyed me the most was that Nie Chen didn¡¯t say a word, but even said I was stingy and didn¡¯t even want to pay this money!¡±


    It happened so many times that Guan Tang had reached the limit of his patience.


    ¡°In addition to this party, the girl who called Nie Chen when we were having dinner also came and stayed by Nie Chen¡¯s side the whole time. I was unhappy and told her to stay away from my boyfriend. As a result, Nie Chen blamed me!¡±


    Thinking of what happened before, Guan Tang felt extreme heartache, and tears fell again.


    ¡°He¡¯s different. When we first met, he was completely different!¡±


    Ling Mu rolled his eyelids and said sharply, ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not. You didn¡¯t see his true colors clearly from the start.¡±


    Hahaha, QZY pitted himself by letting Mumu stream.

 CH 72

    When the two came out of the bathroom, Qiu Zhenyang was having a friendly chat with a waiter. Seeing that they knew each other, he said goodbye and left.


    Seeing Guan Tang clutching the corner of Ling Mu¡¯s clothes, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes twitched. He pointed at the pool of red on his chest and said in shock, ¡°He committed suicide because of a scumbag?¡±


    Ling Mu glared at him. ¡°That¡¯s wine.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled awkwardly, and turned to Ling Mu. ¡°Take off your coat and put it on him, it¡¯s too ugly.¡±


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t refuse, and took off his jacket silently. He was wearing a white vest inside, so when he took off his coat, his delicate collarbones and white arms were extremely dazzling in the dim light of the bar.


    After putting his coat on Guan Tang, as soon as he turned around, the coat thrown over by Qiu Zhenyang hit his face.


    Ling Mu pulled his jacket off speechlessly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you just give him yours?¡±


    ¡°Idiot,  my pheromones are on my clothes, is it suitable?¡± Qiu Zhenyang touched his head and then turned to Guan Tang. ¡°Are those your companions at the table in the corner? Nie Chen¡¯s right there, standing on a chair and has been drinking for a long time. And I heard from the waiter just now that they counted all the drinks on your head tonight.¡±


    While saying this, Qiu Zhenyang also observed Guan Tang¡¯s expression.


    Seeing the angry face when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly thought to himself that this child can still be saved.


    ¡°I won¡¯t pay for them! In the past few months since I joined the club, every time I go out to party, I have to pay. Why? If Nie Chen helped me back then, I would have paid back. But it¡¯s clear they don¡¯t consider me a part of them at all. I won¡¯t give money!¡± This is the most stubborn thing Guan Tang¡¯s said since they¡¯ve met.


    Now that he has expressed his attitude, Qiu Zhenyang almost knows what to do.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go then. I¡¯ll take you to the boss later, they¡¯ll bear the cost themselves.¡± Qiu Zhenyang walked over to the bar owner. During the chat with the waiter just now, he already knew who it was.


    Because this is in the Interstellar Academy, even the owner of the bar is a senior. it should be easier to communicate if they are close in age.


    However, just as Qiu Zhenyang took a few steps out, he found that the people behind him did not keep up.


    He turned around and glanced, Ling Mu actually took Guan Tang directly to Nie Chen¡¯s table.


    Fearing that they¡¯d suffer a loss, Qiu Zhenyang quickly followed.


    The people who drank with Nie Chen were all the students from the club. In fact, there was more than one game club in the school. Because everyone liked different types of games, Guan Tang went to only one of them.


    Someone at the same table with sharp eyes immediately cheered when Guan Tang came back: ¡°Look who¡¯s back! I thought Guan Tang was going to cry in the toilet for a long time. It should be his first time in a bar, hahaha! Look! It looks like his heart is quite strong!¡±


    With this shout, everyone¡¯s attention was immediately attracted, and Nie Chen and the girls beside him also looked over.


    ¡°Finished making trouble? Apologize to everyone.¡± Nie Chen was still so arrogant. Even though there were other omegas standing beside him, he still regarded himself as a boyfriend.


    Guan Tang pursed his lips and looked at him without speaking, his eyes red with anger.


    Nie Chen was a little impatient, just as he was about to continue speaking, he noticed Ling Mu beside him, and immediately raised his eyebrows and sarcastically said, ¡°Did you go find help? Guan Tang, you are very powerful, did we bully you or something? Just a trivial matter, why make a fuss?¡±


    ¡°A trivial matter? Where did you get the face to say these words?¡± Ling Mu said without being polite. He¡¯s been long upset about Nie Cheng.


    ¡°What did you say?¡± Nie Chen¡¯s face suddenly fell, and the expressions of the people at the table also changed. They put down the wine glasses in their hands, and all stood up and stared at Ling Mu.


    A normal omega would have been terrified by this scene, at least Guan Tang was like this, but Ling Mu didn¡¯t react to it at all.


    Compared with these worried students, the real bars outside the school are much worse.


    ¡°Don¡¯t understand what I said? Then I¡¯ll say it directly. Since you¡¯ve broken up, shouldn¡¯t the money you asked Guan Tang to take out be returned to him? The club is yours, the team is yours, but who gave you the courage to use other people¡¯s money to fill your own pit?¡± Ling Mu actually doesn¡¯t like quarreling with people, he prefers to fight directly.


    However, since the incident escalated and he was at a loss, he still held back.


    Qiu Zhenyang stood behind them and listened silently, quietly giving Ling Mu a thumbs up.


    Nie Chen laughed angrily at Ling Mu¡¯s words. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re awesome? He took out the money himself, and we didn¡¯t force him. Why, he doesn¡¯t have enough, and is worried about money now? Weren¡¯t you the one to shamelessly brag that you had money at the start?¡±


    This time, before Ling Mu spoke, Guan Tang cried out first: ¡°When did I say I¡¯m rich? You saw the equipment in my game, and then clearly asked about my situation at home. Now I¡¯m the shameless one?¡±


    Guan Tang is the type of character who gets emotional to the point of tears when he quarrels. He has the courage to speak up now because Ling Mu and Qiu Zhenyang are by his side, otherwise he would¡¯ve cowardly continued hiding in the bathroom.


    Ling Mu continued his words and looked at Nie Chen sarcastically: ¡°It seems that you were nice to him in the first place for the money? Dug up enough money and have no patience to continue, so you¡¯re not even going to pretend?¡±


    Nie Chen¡¯s expression was deep and his eyes were extremely angry, but he did not refute Ling Mu.


    He has indeed reached the point where he doesn¡¯t even bother to pretend.


    At this time, the girl who had been beside Nie Chen said, ¡°I think you are mistaken. Between Nie Chen and Guan Tang, this xuedi 1junior classmate chased him first. No matter how you look at it, it should be this xuedi taking the initiative towards Nie Chen, right?¡±


    Ling Mu eye knife slanted over immediately. ¡°He didn¡¯t speak, so why are you talking? Could it be that you know better than the two of them?¡±


    The girl¡¯s expression froze, and she gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I am the president of the club. Of course I know these things.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang spoke up in a timely manner: ¡°You are a game club, not a youth love club. You have time to gossip, why can¡¯t you lead the club members to make more money? It looks like your unscrupulous club is about to come to an end.¡±


    ¡°What are you talking about!¡±


    Although this club is unscrupulous, it has a good team spirit. When they heard Qiu Zhenyang slander the club, the rest of the members stood up.


    Qiu Zhenyang hummed. ¡°Where did I say something wrong? Guan Tang, tell me, how much did they cheat you?¡±


    Guan Tang wiped his tears, opened the terminal, and called up the details of the bank card expenses sent to Nie Chen this morning.


    ¡°167,380.¡±


    When this number was reported, not to mention everyone else, even Guan Tang himself was surprised.


    He hadn¡¯t counted it before, but looking at it now, this amount is beyond his imagination. He almost used up several years worth of pocket money!


    Qiu Zhenyang applauded. ¡°Amazing, I know about the school clubs, but I¡¯ve never heard of any clubs asking for so much. Did you use the money to gamble?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t lie! He has no evidence, why should we believe that he has put out so much money!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, at most, it¡¯s only ten thousand or twenty thousand. Where¡¯d your number come from?¡±


    ¡°Besides, it is all his own money. What do you want from us?¡±


    Once people don¡¯t want to take responsibility, they will become rogues, and say whatever they want. As long as they can escape responsibility and don¡¯t bear the consequences, they will deny it to the end.


    Guan Tang was so angry that his liver hurt. In the past, as long as Nie Chen or a member of the club asked him for money, he would quickly give it. As a result, they didn¡¯t appreciate it, and even questioned him! He was simply blind to think that Nie Chen was a good man, and that the members of the club were worthy of being friends!


    ¡°Here is the transfer record of every amount I¡¯ve sent to Nie Chen¡¯s account. If you think I¡¯m lying, you can use it as proof. Anyway, there are teachers in charge of the club, and I¡¯ll go ask the teacher directly.¡± At this moment, Guan Tang no longer sobbed, but raised his voice to protect his own interests.


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu have worked so hard for him, and he can¡¯t be so useless!


    Guan Tang¡¯s attitude towards Nie Chen has always been very attentive, so everyone had the impression that he will not do things that are harmful to Nie Chen, and will try his best to please them for Nie Chen¡¯s sake, which is why they acted so fearlessly.


    Now at the mention of a teacher, some were immediately scared.


    Although it won¡¯t be to the point of being expelled from school, the money they¡¯ve swallowed should be returned, and they¡¯ll likely be punished.


    But the president obviously didn¡¯t think so. ¡°What¡¯s the use? Even if it proves to be true, it¡¯s just what¡¯s given during their relationship. Wasn¡¯t everything done willingly? You didn¡¯t ask him to return it to you before breaking up, so what are you talking about now?¡±


    This person was really annoying, and Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help opening his mouth: ¡°Are you kidding? Would he have returned the money if they hadn¡¯t broken up? Right now, it¡¯s only because everyone¡¯s stopped pretending because they¡¯ve broken up, otherwise, would Guan Tang have asked?¡±


    On the other hand, Guan Tang took the tissue that Ling Mu had given him before and kept wiping away his tears. His eyes are already swollen.


    Ling Mu has never comforted him, because these things have to be seen clearly by Guan Tang, so that he will not make mistakes again in the future. His love was too humble, chasing after Nie Chen just because of the little bit of kindness he showed.


    Although Guan Tang looks very lively and cheerful, he should be a child who lacks love.


    ¡°Do you think you can threaten us by bringing up the teacher? Qiu Zhenyang, I know you guys from a privileged family won¡¯t be afraid of civilian students like us. But that¡¯s all you can do, right? Rely on your family to unscrupulously oppress others. Aren¡¯t you afraid your name will be exposed to the media, and you¡¯ll be reviled by thousands?¡±


    The president still had the leisure to put hats on others, so it¡¯s no wonder she can be the president of this unscrupulous club.


    Qiu Zhenyang sneered. ¡°I don¡¯t know what your name is, but I think the name ¡®bitch¡¯ is very suitable for you. Although I¡¯d rather not compete with you, I don¡¯t like others slandering my family. How about this, let¡¯s use games ¨C which you guys are good at ¨C to determine the winner? In ¡°Machine Wars¡±, the time and date, and the victory conditions will be determined by you. We won¡¯t pursue it if you win, but if you lose, you will pay back the money.¡±


    Although Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s first sentence made the president¡¯s nose crooked and her mouth slanted, later he said that if he won, he would not pursue it, which still made her a little moved.


    But Nie Chen was still unhappy: ¡°What¡¯s so fun about your broken game? The technical operation is so bad, we can win with our eyes closed! And you made this game, who knows if you will cheat?¡±


    ¡°Since you If you think the game sucks, it means you are confident that you can win? In this way, we will ask the teacher in charge of the club to be the referee for us. If I cheat, I will be punished, do you dare to come?¡± Qiu Zhenyang looked at him with a smile. Even about to die, Nie Chen was still so stubborn.


    Hearing this, everyone in the group was moved. They gathered around to discuss in a low voice, and finally made a decision.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s compete!¡±


    Damn scum club.

    The temptation of writing off more than 100,000 if they win is too great, and all the club members thought it was possible.


    Furthermore, each team in the game ¡°Machine Wars¡± needs ten people. They have sufficient manpower, and are also highly skilled and can cooperate with each other. People like Qiu Zhenyang who don¡¯t even have teammates can¡¯t win at all. There¡¯s no suspense.


    ¡°Since these are your conditions, then let¡¯s write up an agreement, so you can¡¯t deny we won later.¡± Nie Chen sneered, and directly drew up an agreement with the terminal, and called the waiter over to print it out.


    Seeing his actions, Guan Tang tugged Ling Mu¡¯s arm, and shook his head. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s my debt, you don¡¯t need to be involved. Wang Li, the president, is very rude. Even if they lose the game, they may use various reasons to prevaricate.¡±


    ¡°Then can you swallow this anger?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s sharp eyes cast towards him, making Guan Tang bite his lip and stopped. ¡°Don¡¯t say anything. The 160,000 should be returned. Even if your family is wealthy now, things are unpredictable, and this money may become a life-saving straw in the future.¡±


    Ling Mu knows the pain of not having money, so no matter what, Guan Tang has to get his money back!


    In Guan Tang¡¯s eyes his serious appearance was very handsome, and his erratic heart finally stabilized. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you, I must get the money back. Even if I donate to charity, it¡¯s better than giving it to these scumbags!¡±


    His friends have worked so hard for him, and he can¡¯t let them down!


    The waiter brought over the printed agreement, and a boy who looked unremarkable with glasses was pushed out by them to sign.


    Qiu Zhenyang immediately stopped them. ¡°What are you doing? For such an important matter, shouldn¡¯t the president sign? Why, are you afraid that you won¡¯t be able to pay the money back when you lose the game, and push it to someone else?¡±


    Wang Li¡¯s face changed slightly, and she quickly sneered. ¡°Speculating on me like this? Since you want me to sign so much, then I¡¯ll sign it.¡±


    She stepped forward and signed the three copies. Qiu Zhenyang first read the agreement carefully, then signed his name, took two of the copies and said, ¡°I will keep one copy, and I will give the other copy to the teacher for safekeeping. I¡¯ll also explain this matter to him at that time.¡±


    The matter has almost been resolved. Seeing them like this, the waiter quickly asked, ¡°Do you want a refill? If not, I¡¯ll bring the bill over.¡±


    Everyone instantly looked at Wang Li, who was displeased at the waiter¡¯s timing in rushing over. Winking, she tried to remind him that the cost is all on Guan Tang¡¯s head, so why is he so blind now?


    Qiu Zhenyang almost burst out laughing at her antics. Folding his arms, he said almost teasingly, ¡°We¡¯ve already reached this point, and are you still going to ask Guan Tang to pay for you? Don¡¯t you feel ashamed to harm a junior because you¡¯re ¡®poor¡¯? Your clothes look pretty good. If you really have no money, why don¡¯t you mortgage your valuables first? Or you can ask your parents to come, and let them see how their kids are doing.¡±


    Nie Chen was about to raise his fists, but was held back by the members of the club. Forget Guan Tang, Qiu Zhenyang is not easy to mess with.


    ¡°You¡¯re so rich? Who knows if Guan Tang is interested in your money. I thought something was wrong when I had dinner that night. Why, the fragrance of a wildflower can¡¯t compare?¡± Nie Chen shot back at Qiu Zhenyang harshly.


    Ling Mu took a deep breath, and suddenly stepped forward and punched Nie Chen¡¯s face. This powerful force made the opponent¡¯s face swell, and even the corner of his mouth was bloody.


    Guan Tang was stunned, but he had to say that this punch made him feel comfortable. He even wanted Ling Mu to punch again!


    ¡°You f*cking want to die?¡± Nie Chen wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, biting his cheeks tightly, then rushed over with a face full of anger and returned a punch to Ling Mu.


    However, his fist was intercepted by Qiu Zhenyang. The two alphas fought fiercely. Nie Chen tried so hard that his face turned red, but no matter how he struggled, Qiu Zhenyang remained motionless, holding his wrist indifferently, his eyes full of cold warning.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the agreement already signed? Are you trying to cheat?¡± Wang Li immediately stepped forward, but did not dare to confront Qiu Zhenyang, so she could only shout at Ling Mu. ¡°Doing this before the match, are you trying to cripple us so you can win? It¡¯s really dirty!¡±


    Wang Li is a female omega, and her gaming skills are near the bottom of the entire club. The reason she can become president is first, because she has the ability to manage people, and second, she is very good at using language to attack her opponents¡¯ psychology, and get the best benefits from them.


    But this time the people she faced were Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, and her methods fell short.


    ¡°We just signed a competition agreement, but we didn¡¯t say we couldn¡¯t beat him, right?¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled at Wang Li.


    Ling Mu pushed Guan Tang forward, unzipped his jacket, pointed to the wine stain on his chest and said, ¡°Explain this?¡±


    Seeing the tragic state of Guan Tang¡¯s chest, a group of people looked at each other in dismay.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t want to say; you all know what¡¯s going on anyway. I beat him because this guy is a scumbag and deceives people¡¯s feelings for money. Can¡¯t I help my friends out of anger? Also, this has nothing to do with the game, or do you not want face?¡± Ling Mu twisted his wrist, as if ready to punch out again.


    Wang Li and others dared not speak out. After all, the money issue had not been resolved, and Nie Chen couldn¡¯t even pass Qiu Zhenyang, let alone touch Ling Mu with half a finger.


    Everything that happened tonight was a novel experience for Guan Tang. He saw the real face of the scumbag, saw someone stand up for him, and gained a friend who could vent for him.


    ¡°Nie Chen, there¡¯s something I¡¯ve wanted to say for a long time,¡± Guan Tang took a deep breath and looked at Nie Chen, who retracted his fist and glared at him, showing his contempt, ¡°You idiot, go to hell!¡±


    The wine bottle in his hand was thrown out with force, and smashed Nie Chen¡¯s forehead. The glass bottle shattered instantly, and the wine overflowed!


    The bright red liquid slid down Nie Chen¡¯s forehead, leaving rivulets down his body.


    Nie Chen was shocked to see the wine all over his body, and looked up at Guan Tang in disbelief.


    ¡°What are you looking at, never seen a handsome omega?! A scumbag like you deserves to be a street rat and be single for a lifetime!¡± Guan Tang shouted frantically, shouting out all his anger, regret, and grief, and then¡­ ran away in a hurry.


    He was crying while running, but there was a happy smile on his face, and he was almost as arrogant as the first time Ling Mu met him.


    After coming out of the bar, Guan Tang ran to the small alley next to the bar and shouted into the dark alley: ¡°Okay! Feels good! Ah!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu followed, and they smiled at his naive look. Ling Mu folded his arms and leaned against the tree by the roadside, tilting his head to look.


    ¡°Nie Chen, you idiot! Go to hell! If you don¡¯t have any money, don¡¯t take my money! You peerless, unmatched scumbag! You¡­¡± Guan Tang cursed at the pitch-black alley for a long time. Fortunately, it¡¯s relatively late in the day and the bar is quite remote, so no one passed by, otherwise they¡¯d think he was crazy.


    Qiu Zhenyang turned his head to look at Ling Mu. ¡°How do you feel?¡±


    ¡°How about what?¡±


    ¡°Friend, don¡¯t friends help each other out?¡±


    Ling Mu stared at him, blinked, and suddenly smiled: ¡°Well, it feels good.¡±


    It turns out that friends are like this, not only like Qiu Zhenyang, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu, but also him and Guan Tang. Although their personalities are different, he was happy venting his anger out for him.


    He didn¡¯t ask Guan Tang why he didn¡¯t ask other friends for help, but called him. After all, his choice had already explained everything, and it would be meaningless to struggle with such details.


    ¡°Done shouting, I feel better!¡± Guan Tang walked up to the two of them and jumped twice in relief.


    When he was with Nie Chen before, he enjoyed the tenderness and the sweetness of love at first, but later he felt increasingly tired. After breaking up with Nie Chen, it seems that the world is lit up again, like having gained a new life!


    Thinking of the agreement he signed, Guan Tang couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°They set the time for next weekend. The first team to win five rounds wins. Is there enough time to find people?¡±


    After all, the game requires ten people to form a team. They only have three people now.


    Qiu Zhenyang was not worried at all: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s only a few more people.¡±


    Ling Mu and Guan Tang looked at him at the same time, wondering what he meant.


    ¡°They have a club, so it¡¯s better if we also have one. Now that ¡°Machine Wars¡± is so popular, there will always be people who want to join such a club. I¡¯ll apply to form a club tomorrow.¡± It¡¯s just a game club, and shouldn¡¯t be difficult.


    Guan Tang looked at them, feeling deeply moved. These two not only helped him vent his anger, but also considered the follow up.


    He solemnly wanted to thank them, but Qiu Zhenyang stopped him as soon as he said the word ¡°thank you¡±. ¡°You don¡¯t need to say thank you to us, I helped you because of Ling Mu, and Ling Mu helped you because you regarded him as a friend. He is also willing to be relied on by you. So, figuring out how to abuse the scumbag together now is the most important thing.¡±


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t say anything, but his expression was very agreeable.


    There is no need to say thank you for this kind of thing between friends.


    Guan Tang nodded vigorously: ¡°En, I see! I will work hard!¡±


    After returning from the bar, Ling Mu¡¯s stomach was so hungry that it started rumbling on the walk back.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face stiffened with laughter. After all, Ling Mu¡¯s black face of holding his stomach and gnashing his teeth was too cute, which made him both distressed and amused.


    After returning to the dormitory, Qiu Zhenyang quickly took out the food he had put in the incubator and brought it to the table. Ling Mu hurriedly got the tableware and chopsticks, ready to eat.


    ¡°Wait, drink a bowl of soup before eating.¡± Qiu Zhenyang boiled some broth with vegetables and nourishing herbs sent by his mother. ¡°Slow down when eating. It¡¯s not good for the stomach.¡±


    Although Ling Mu waited impatiently, he still listened carefully to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words, and didn¡¯t scarf down the food.


    When he finally filled his stomach, Ling Mu went to wash the dishes, and then lay on the sofa with Qiu Zhenyang to watch TV.


    After sleeping for a long time during the day, Ling Mu is not sleepy, but Qiu Zhenyang was a little sleepy.


    After watching a TV show, Ling Mu turned his head to the side and saw Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s handsome sleeping face.


    He is usually elegant and handsome, and although sometimes he will reveal his true nature when he speaks¡­ No matter where he is, he will make countless omegas crazy. But at this moment, he is gentle and quiet, and there is a different kind of softness after falling asleep.


    Belongs to him.


    Ling Mu approached slightly, and his soft lips left a soft and sweet kiss on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s warm lips.


    Good night.


    GT is a cutie.

    Setting up a club and recruiting new members isn¡¯t easy with half the semester over.


    However, this problem is easy to solve for Qiu Zhenyang. Because he himself is well-known, and since the game ¡°Machine Wars¡± has been hot since the internal test, it attracted a large number of players. Many students in school also want to play, making it relatively easy to set up a club.


    Many players who were not able to obtain beta test spots were also very interested after seeing the game videos and streams of some anchors. Many were eager to see if they could get a priority spot through Qiu Zhenyang, such that when Qiu Zhenyang announced that his club was going to recruit new members, a large number of students immediately signed up.


    ¡°I say, you¡¯re really amazing. You made a club without making a sound. Those people must be pissed off. After all, they thought they had the upper hand, but now your club has more members than them, right?¡±


    Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang both heard about the affairs between Qiu Zhenyang and Nie Chen and their game club, and Yuan Chenyu even actively fought with Qiu Zhenyang for the opportunity to become a team member. He is still very interested in the game, and the game mode that Qiu Zhenyang made is very novel. Yuan Chenyu really wanted to see how his skills were in the game.


    ¡°If you want to be a team member, just be a team member. Zhuo Hang will help manage the club and be a vice president. Anyway, I¡¯m only going to be the nominal captain. I really don¡¯t have the energy to manage so many people. Be a brother, and do me a favor.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was rude to his brother, anyway, there shouldn¡¯t be so many things in the club, just take care of it a little bit.


    Zhuo Hang couldn¡¯t help replying: ¡°I¡¯m really tired of being your friend. Before, you left the milk tea shop to us to manage, and ran outside for fun. Now you have to leave the position of vice president to me. Why am I always taken advantage of?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang laughed, hugged his shoulders and said nicely: ¡°Isn¡¯t this called sharing the blessings and pains? I will give you a share of the game investment, which should make up for it! It¡¯s just a small club, I know you can definitely do it!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu didn¡¯t think too much, and also encouraged him: ¡°That¡¯s right, don¡¯t you usually read those books on economic management? It¡¯s the perfect chance now. There are more than 20 people in the club, just treat it as practice for when you need to manage a company in the future.¡±


    Zhuo Hang gave each of them a punch: ¡°The two of you can really talk.¡±


    They are now in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s dormitory, and Ling Mu is playing games in his room. He was completely fascinated. If Qiu Zhenyang hadn¡¯t urged him to study, he might have spent all his time on the game apart from attending classes.


    This game is so realistic that anyone who has tried it will be immersed. It¡¯s just like operating a real mecha and conducting a real space battle! So let alone Ling Mu, many internal beta players were addicted.


    ¡°By the way, I heard that there is a big problem within the Third Consortium. It seems that Mr. Lin has already begun considering the issue of heir. Several of his kids have been playing tricks, which created some fires in the consortium, and angered the old man to the point he had to be admitted to the hospital..¡± Zhuo Hang pressed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Didn¡¯t that idiot Lin Yuhan provoke you before, do you have any part in this matter?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled helplessly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t implicate innocent people. Mr. Lin is also a very good elder. After agreeing to the conditions I put forward last time, he did not do anything, so there is no need for me to transfer my anger to others. Lin Yuhan¡¯s court trial will start in two weeks, and we¡¯ll bring up the evidence then to prevent him from ever coming back.¡±


    Zhuo Hang gave him a thumbs up. Really cruel, worthy of his brother!


    ¡°Okay, why are you talking about that idiot? Don¡¯t spoil the mood. Since we¡¯re all here, why don¡¯t we play a few games this afternoon? Qiu Zhenyang, didn¡¯t you arrange a unified game cabin for the club?Let¡¯s try it out. We can also find some members who¡¯ve participated in the internal test to form a team and see how our cooperation is. You should also think about the competition.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu was excited, unable to wait to fight with everyone and improve their teamwork.


    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll let the group know, so those who¡¯ve done the internal test or who have time to meet this afternoon, can meet us to play a game or two.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang lowered his head and shared the news. As soon as it went out, many people quickly responded, saying that they had received his message.


    Then Qiu Zhenyang went upstairs and called Ling Mu out. The game cabin has a calling function, and Qiu Zhenyang can directly contact Ling Mu from the outside. After knowing that they were gathering to play games in the afternoon, Ling Mu quickly ended his game and came out.


    ¡°Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something before going?¡± Qiu Zhenyang asked even though he had just eaten lunch.


    ¡°No need, I¡¯m not very hungry.¡± Ling Mu simply changed his clothes, followed Qiu Zhenyang downstairs, and the four of them went to the club room.


    By the time they got to the classroom, more than a dozen people had already arrived. They were all excited by the two rows of neat game cabins in the classroom, and when they saw Qiu Zhenyang coming over, they immediately gathered around and exclaimed in amazement, ¡°President, I never expected you ordered so many game cabins!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a must, the entire game belongs to our president! Fortunately, I happened to see the recruitment on the school forum at that time, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to squeeze in. Only 20 people were accepted. My dorm mate regrets it!¡± Someone immediately said happily.


    Qiu Zhenyang explained to them: ¡°This is because if there are too many people, there will be too many game cabins. Also, it¡¯s better not to have too many people at the beginning, otherwise it will not be manageable. We¡¯ve only just gotten to know each other.¡±


    Next, everyone began to introduce themselves to each other. Everyone likes games, and they have a lot of common topics. The chat is relaxed and harmonious, and the atmosphere is very happy. Qiu Zhenyang also introduced Zhuo Hang to everyone, and told them that Zhuo Hang would be the vice president of the club in the future. They should look to him first, before finding Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s play a game first. I will form the team. At that time, search for the name of this team, apply to join, and I¡¯ll let you in. Then we can open a room and form two groups. Let¡¯s practice against each other and see how everyone is.¡±


    The members agreed, and everyone entered the game cabins and formed 2 teams.


    With him and Ling Mu around, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s team was almost invincible. A game that would normally take an hour was over in less than 20 minutes under their leadership. This game also allows everyone to fully appreciate the superb skills of Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu. Most of them have taken mecha-related courses and know that such operations aren¡¯t easy, so their admiration for the pair only grew.


    Some people entered the club curious to see what level Qiu Zhenyang was at, and after this battle, their inner doubts were put aside, and they started to learn how to operate wholeheartedly.


    Because the combination of Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu was too abnormal, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu each led a team to fight in the end. After about three or four games, they came out of their game cabins. Qiu Zhenyang had probably figured out each person¡¯s strength, and had already secretly selected a few people to be the team members for the next game.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get acquainted with everyone today, and we can play a few more rounds tomorrow. At that time, I will select a few people according to everyone¡¯s level to participate in the friendly match with me in a few days, so I hope you can play with your greatest strengths tomorrow.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t say anything about their relationship with Nie Chen¡¯s club, only that it was a friendly match.


    When they heard that there was a game, everyone was very excited. They didn¡¯t expect a game so soon, and some people said worriedly: ¡°President, we haven¡¯t been in touch with the game for a long time. Is it okay to have a match so soon?¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, it¡¯s just a friendly match, just to see how everyone is doing when they are new to the game. There¡¯s no need to worry, don¡¯t put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best. In the next few days, whether you¡¯re playing or not, I¡¯ll teach everyone some more skills. The most important thing is to enjoy the game, right?¡±


    Everyone was excited about these words. Yes, their ultimate goal is to enjoy the game, and the excitement and joy from winning!


    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s it for today. I will share with everyone the club¡¯s door code. Those who don¡¯t have a game cabin can come to the club to play. However, apart from members in the club, you can¡¯t bring anyone else in. The classroom is under surveillance, and anyone who violates the rules will be kicked out.¡±


    Everyone understood and agreed. After Qiu Zhenyang and his friends left, some of them also left, while others stayed and continued to play.


    After leaving the classroom, Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu parted ways with them. Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu to the supermarket to buy some ingredients.


    On the way back to the dormitory carrying the bag, Qiu Zhenyang hummed a song in a good mood. Ling Mu suddenly stopped him and said, ¡°Wait a minute, I have something for you.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang stopped in doubt. They had just entered the dormitory area, and there were quite a few pedestrians at this time. Qiu Zhenyang was a little confused about what Ling Mu was going to give him here. Can¡¯t they wait until the dormitory?


    However, he still pressed his doubts and followed Ling Mu to the tree by the roadside, watching him put the bag on the ground, and took out something from his trouser pocket.


    ¡°Here you are.¡± Ling Mu stretched out his hand and handed it over, his expression was light, but his eyes kept looking at the thing in his hand.


    Qiu Zhenyang also put down the bag, took the thing in Ling Mu¡¯s hand, and looked closer. It was actually a rusted military badge with a sense of age. Qiu Zhenyang had an impression of the military badge. It should belong to an adjutant, which means that the badge should¡¯ve belonged to Ling Mu¡¯s father, Ling Bingqian.


    ¡°Why did you give me the badge of Adjutant Ling?¡± Qiu Zhenyang softened his voice. He knew his father¡¯s position in Ling Mu¡¯s heart, and he also knew the meaning of the badge. Because of this, his hand holding the badge trembled slightly, and his emotions leaked out.


    Ling Mu pursed his lower lip, picked up the bag on the ground, and also picked up Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s bag.


    ¡°I forgot to prepare a present for you on your birthday before.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang wouldn¡¯t be dismissed so easily, so he followed closely and asked, ¡°You¡¯re giving this to me as a birthday present?¡±


    Ling Mu glared at him, ¡°Don¡¯t give it back to me.¡±


    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t say no, I¡¯m just curious.¡± Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t control the smile on his mouth, and the joy in his eyes were like stars. ¡°This badge is very important to you, and since you gave it to me, I will make sure to pay you back well.¡±


    As if realizing that Qiu Zhenyang was teasing him, Ling Mu¡¯s cheeks flushed red, and he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Who wants you to pay you back¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang put away the badge silently, and then put Ling Mu into his arms in public, raised his chin with one hand, and kissed him directly.


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyes widened slightly, and he wanted to push him away, but his hands were holding bags, and he could only stand there.


    Some passing students exclaimed and walked around, while some whispered with their companions, making Ling Mu so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl in!


    Fortunately, Qiu Zhenyang quickly ended the kiss, then took the two bags in Ling Mu¡¯s hand, and raised the corners of his lips. ¡°This is the best birthday present I¡¯ve ever received! Let¡¯s go, go back and cook for you~¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s cheeks blushed. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pheromones lingered between his lips and teeth, and he could only keep his head down and follow.


    Ah, Mumu, you brought this upon yourself. (/¦Ø£Ü)

 CH 75

    That night, Qiu Zhenyang announced the news that the members would be selected the next day. Some members who didn¡¯t go to the club classroom because of something in the afternoon were also excitedly looking forward to it. Although there is no e-sports competition in Interstellar, small competitions are often held between players, and each competition will get a very enthusiastic response.


    Because Qiu Zhenyang chose teammates based on their performance in the battle, everyone showed their greatest strength the next day, not trying to win the game in the battle, but to play the role they were best at to show off their value.


    ¡°My god, you guys are so good at playing games! Especially when you and Qiu Zhenyang led the team separately, the battle situation was so intense that my blood was boiling!¡± In the evening, more than 20 people from the club gathered at the milk tea shop for dinner. Guan Tang sat at Ling Mu¡¯s table, constantly blowing rainbow farts at Ling Mu in admiration.


    In fact, Guan Tang also really wanted to participate. He wanted to show Nie Chen some color1as in, beat Nie Chen, or give him a metaphorical faceslap in the competition to let him know that he was not a soft persimmon either! But after watching several rounds in the afternoon, and being abused in two games, he finally gave up.


    The matter of the competition should be left to Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu. He can be a cheerleader. The most important thing is not to hold back their team¡­


    So Guan Tang became the manager of the club and was responsible for assisting vice president Zhuo Hang.


    ¡°It¡¯s Qiu Zhenyang who is amazing. I learned from him.¡± Ling Mu took a sip of milk tea. This kind of being admired is quite novel, and not annoying.


    Eyes glowing with excitement, Guan Tang continued to exclaim: ¡°No matter what, you are too powerful! Even if someone taught you, for you to reach this level in a short period of time, it is already better than most people! There were also several omega seniors and seniors in the club I was in before, but after studying for a year or two, their skills are still very poor, and their talent is a lot lower than yours!¡±


    Suddenly remembering his previous club, Guan Tang was not in a good mood, and split the chicken wings with a frown. ¡°I really feel bad just thinking about them now. Ling Mu, you will definitely win the game, then I will make fun of those bad guys!¡±


    Seeing Guan Tang viciously gnaw on the chicken wings, as if he were biting on enemies, Ling Mu¡¯s lips curled up.


    On the other side of the table, Yuan Chenyu heard Guan Tang gnashing his teeth, and couldn¡¯t help laughing. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Guan Tang, when the game starts, we will definitely kill! There is no need for Zhenyang and Ling Mu to shoot. A few of us are enough to clean them up!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was at the same table, raised his eyebrows and shrugged noncommittally.


    The few people who were selected into the team followed suit. ¡°That¡¯s right! The president will train us well in the next few days. Don¡¯t worry manager, we will definitely win!¡±


    Guan Tang was moved for a while. In the previous club, he never had such treatment. Even if someone took the initiative to chat with him, ten out of ten times it was for money!


    ¡°Ling Mu, I¡¯m really happy, I¡¯ll definitely do things for our club well in the future and be the most competent manager!¡± Guan Tang patted the table confidently, full of momentum.


    Ling Mu toasted him with his milk tea: ¡°En, work hard.¡±


    Although there are only two omegas in their club, there are actually several omegas who privately asked him if they can join. After all, not all omegas are as bold as Guan Tang, and many are still worried that the club will discriminate against omega players.


    However, the club is not planning to expand its members for the time being, so Ling Mu refused, saying that he would tell them when membership was expanded.


    Seeing that everyone had almost finished, Qiu Zhenyang stood up and said: ¡°Official training starts tomorrow. All participating members will gather after the afternoon class. I¡¯ll get dinner sent directly to the club room. We don¡¯t have much time to prepare, so I hope everyone will do their best.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu raised his hand: ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so serious, bro. With you to lead us, let alone those little shrimps, even amongst all players, it¡¯s impossible to have someone who surpasses our team, right?¡±


    Zhuo Hang kicked him and said angrily: ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say Ling Mu and him don¡¯t need to play, but now you suddenly change your tone? Is it okay to have a little ambition?¡±


    Everyone laughed, and cast teasing eyes at Yuan Chenyu.


    ¡°No, aren¡¯t I complimenting him, to help show off our president¡¯s arrogance! What ambition, we must win! Is that okay, president?¡± Yuan Chenyu smiled and winked at Qiu Zhenyang.


    Qiu Zhenyang said helplessly: ¡°Okay, in fact, what I want to tell you is that this competition is just the beginning. I might as well share that the game department of the First Consortium has already started to apply to the Federation to have an e-sports league. At that time, such competitions will be recognized, and the champion will be honored under a fair and equitable ruling.¡±


    When these words came out, everyone present was shocked.


    A formal¡­ e-sports competition?


    This has never happened in the entire interstellar history. Are games really about to enter the most glorious period?


    Seeing everyone¡¯s expressions, Qiu Zhenyang smiled. ¡°But it¡¯s not that easy, and it may not be successful in the short term. Don¡¯t make it public for the time being. I¡¯m just telling you that in the future, e-sports can also become a career. If you really love e-sports, and have the heart to practice hard, maybe you can become professional players in the future.¡±


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help falling silent, with a mixture of excitement and nervousness on their faces.


    Guan Tang approached and asked Ling Mu, ¡°Is this true Ling Mu? My god, your husband is too handsome!¡±


    Ling Mu nodded when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his ears turned red, and he patted Guan Tang¡¯s hand. ¡°What nonsense? He¡¯s not my husband.¡±


    Seeing his arrogant appearance, Guan Tang let out a sly smile, and his eyes went back and forth on Ling Mu¡¯s neck where the collar was exposed. He glanced at him and said in a sour tone, ¡°Still saying no when both of you have rolled in the sheets. Look at these little strawberries, tsk tsk, Qiu Zhenyang must be very possessive, right?¡±


    Ling Mu never discussed these matters with others, and was frightened by Guan Tang!


    How can anyone say such things? Embarrassing!


    In fact, omegas occasionally talk about each other¡¯s sex life. After all, everyone is an adult, and many omegas have already passed the estrus period with their alphas, so such shameful things will also be discussed.


    Ling Mu, who was still in shock, heard Guan Tang go on to say: ¡°Qiu Zhenyang is a top-level alpha. Usually, even if his pheromone doesn¡¯t leak, the pressure is still overwhelming! As his omega, you must be happy to death. How frequently do you guys do that kind of thing generally?¡±


    Red-faced, how can Ling Mu dare answer such a question! He could only clench his cheeks and bow his head without speaking. God knows how red his face is now!


    Seeing this, Qiu Zhenyang, who had been watching Ling Mu, quickly sat down and raised his eyebrows at Guan Tang. ¡°Are you flirting with him? Look at how red his face is. It should be enough to fry eggs?¡±


    Guan Tang burst out laughing, while Ling Mu raised his head and glared at Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°Did you take the wrong medicine, go back to your own table.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t, I just came here. You¡¯re driving me away so soon? By the way, Xiao Mumu, do you have a test on Tuesday? Although the competition is also very important, your grades can¡¯t fall behind. You should focus on your studies first. Focus on reviewing the class material, and there¡¯s no need to attend the club training.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled and said something that drove Ling Mu crazy.


    He immediately frowned: ¡°Why don¡¯t you let me train? It¡¯s just a small test, not a big test, and the questions are quite simple, so there won¡¯t be any problems.¡±


    Guan Tang, the pig teammate on the side, didn¡¯t give any face. ¡°No way. Because the test is related to our final grades, the test for our O5 class is very difficult!¡±


    Ling Mu was almost out of breath and did an eye roll in anger.


    In addition to being a little stupid in terms of emotions, this Guan Tang usually looks quite clever, why is he stupid like a pig at this time!


    After hearing this, Qiu Zhenyang nodded thoughtfully, and looked meaningfully at Ling Mu. ¡°It¡¯s directly related to the final grades? Ah, that¡¯s good, I¡¯ll confiscate the game cabin in your room, Ling Mu, and will wait until you¡¯re done the test to move it back.¡±


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­¡± He stabbed Guan Tang a few times.


    After realizing it, Guan Tang covered his mouth and flashed to the table next door embarrassingly.


    Even after everyone dispersed on the way back, Ling Mu was still unhappy. Since he started playing ¡°Machine Wars¡±, he has played a few games almost every day. Now that Qiu Zhenyang doesn¡¯t let him play, and will even confiscate the game cabin, Ling Mu is angry!


    ¡°Are you still sulking?¡± Qiu Zhenyang circled around him, teasing him from time to time. ¡°It¡¯s only a few days until the exam, so just hold off for this period of time. I¡¯ll play it for you until you finish the exam, okay?¡±


    Irritated by him buzzing in a circle, Ling Mu slapped his arms in an attempt to slap him away.


    ¡°Xiao Mumu, games are just a way of enjoying life, we can¡¯t be addicted to them and cannot extricate ourselves! Studying is the most important thing, so you should take the exam first~¡± Qiu Zhenyang insisted on reasoning with him, trying to make Ling Mu happy.


    Ling Mu suddenly stopped. After being silent for a while, he said solemnly, ¡°I want to be a professional player.¡±


    His expression was so serious that Qiu Zhenyang felt his determination.


    ¡°I know,¡± He put his hands on Ling Mu¡¯s shoulders, and Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s thumbs gently rubbed his shoulders. ¡°Why do you think I¡¯m going to apply for the competition to be legalized? It¡¯s because I want to create a platform for you in a place you like.¡±


    Ling Mu pursed his lips, his heart feeling sweet and sour.


    ¡°But now the premise is that we can¡¯t fall behind in learning. This is our task as a student, so you should study hard.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang knows that many of Ling Mu¡¯s ideas are slightly off because he lacked the correct parental guidance. Adjutant Ling left too early, and Dong Qiulan is not a good mother. Ling Mu is already very good, but throwing himself into something he likes still needs to be corrected.


    He also enjoys the process of leading Ling Mu, because he is also taking Ling Mu into his own world in the process of guiding.


    They have to walk a long, long way together, and he will always be by his side.


    ¡°So study hard first, and then practice. You can rest assured that with me, you can definitely become a professional player.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes were very sure; this was his promise to Ling Mu.


    Being taught so carefully, Ling Mu felt as if he had become a child.


    But his mood is indeed much better now, and he finally said with relief: ¡°Okay, then don¡¯t take my game cabin, I won¡¯t touch it.¡±


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go~¡± Qiu Zhenyang happily dragged Ling Mu away. His obedient wife is so cute, life is so beautiful!

 CH 76

    Ling Mu really never played another game before his exam.


    On the other hand, Qiu Zhenyang and the other members gathered in the classroom after class to start training.


    Although Qiu Zhenyang wasn¡¯t a professional player in the previous world, it was his interest so he knew a little about how training went. He also used the game revenue to collect information on some well-known anchors and their training methods, and summarized them for the club.


    After three days of practice, several members became suspicious of the boring training.


    ¡°President, these exercises¡­ can really improve our skills?¡± Xi Jun, who could rank the top three in the club apart from Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, asked Qiu Zhenyang after the training. What he wants to learn most now is how to quickly judge the situation on the field like Qiu Zhenyang, how to use his superb technical level to kill the enemy, instead of mechanically doing some mecha moves.


    Qiu Zhenyang put down the book in his hand, handed him a cup of milk tea, and after seeing him drink a mouthful, he said, ¡°All technologies are based on one¡¯s foundation. Let alone you, Ling Mu and I have also made time to do basic training. It feels boring right now, but when you actually play, you¡¯ll know the difference.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t give him precise answers for things that could only be felt but not explained.


    Hearing what he said, Xi Jun scratched the back of his head. Although he was still confused, he continued to train.


    If nothing else, the fact that Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu have to carry out these training programs is enough to motivate him to continue.


    There¡¯s no problem in following the great god!


    So, when Ling Mu and Guan Tang returned to the club after the test was over, everyone was almost tortured to death by the basic training.


    ¡°My god, I¡¯m suddenly a little fortunate that we had to take the exam¡­¡± Guan Tang swallowed hard, looking at everyone¡¯s dying faces.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t say a word, just threw the schoolbag on his shoulder to Qiu Zhenyang, and entered the game cabin to start training.


    Qiu Zhenyang put his bag on a table and said with a smile, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter whether you practice or not, the manager should spend more time on club arrangements. We will start random team formation tomorrow. When the time comes, we¡¯ll need your help recording each match and how everyone performs.¡±


    There is a computer terminal connected to the game cabin, which shows the situation on the battlefield. The plan is to record each round, and review together after the break.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do my best to record it!¡± Guan Tang first agreed, then rolled his eyes again and saw Zhuo Hang, ¡°Even if I can¡¯t, then And Zhuo Hang, the vice president will definitely be able to handle it!¡±


    Zhuo Hang, who was looking up information on the Internet, raised his head speechlessly. ¡°Don¡¯t leave the task he gave you to me.¡±


    Guan Tang walked over with a look of disbelief. ¡°Aren¡¯t you, a member of our club too? Can you have a sense of collective honor?¡±


    Zhuo Hang squinted at him: ¡°What does this have to do with a collective sense of honor? Don¡¯t quarrel with me, watch at the data.¡±


    Guan Tang, who was disgusted, could only frown and sit with his broken thoughts.


    Everyone finally understood the value of basic training after the round began the next day. The speed and accuracy of their operations were greatly improved, and their improvements were at an almost astonishing speed.


    After taking three heads in a row, Xi Jun was so excited that he couldn¡¯t speak clearly. ¡°I, sh*t, I took a lot of heads!¡±


    The rest of the team: ¡°¡­¡±


    Yuan Chenyu said in the team¡¯s voice while operating the mecha: ¡°Xiao Junzi1Xiao Junzi is a nickname, with Xiao = little, zi = kid, can you calm down. People who don¡¯t know will think you¡¯re doing something illegal. Be careful, the person opposite you But Qiu Zhenyang, don¡¯t accidentally get KO¡¯d again¡­ oh!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu was only halfway through his words, and Xi Jun was taken away by Qiu Zhenyang.


    Xi Jun gritted his teeth: ¡°Can you not jinx us!¡±


    In this manner, everyone continued to train and review their performance. At the same time, in order to put pressure on everyone, if the members of the original competition are overtaken by latecomers, there is a possibility that they will be pushed down. Because this wasn¡¯t a formal ranking, everyone worked hard and exerted their best abilities.


    Finally, the agreed day came, and Qiu Zhenyang took everyone to the classroom of the competition.


    The club management teacher is a middle-aged beta who has very gentle-looking eyes. Although he is stern, he has a good personality. When Qiu Zhenyang explained the situation before, he immediately agreed to be the referee.


    ¡°I rented the game cabin from the game company. Although the fees are all provided by Qiu Zhenyang, I am responsible for the rental process, so there is no need to worry about cheating.¡± Teacher Zhao¡¯s words were mainly aimed at Nie Chen and the others in his club.


    Nie Chen snorted disdainfully, and those behind him also showed disgruntled looks.


    Yuan Chenyu didn¡¯t like them, so he couldn¡¯t help shouting: ¡°What¡¯s the matter, looking at your disdainful looks, are you going to split the rent? Then bring out the money, although we have money, we won¡¯t stop you!¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± The rest of the club members agreed in unison, mixed with jeers.


    Nie Chen has a strong self-esteem, and can¡¯t stand such provocation. He immediately raised his chin and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s amazing to be rich? Who asked you to pay, do you think we lack this amount of money?¡±


    Guan Tang bared his teeth at him: ¡°If you have money, pay me back. Don¡¯t you know why we¡¯re playing this game?¡±


    Nie Chen: ¡°¡­¡±


    He can¡¯t spit any out.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled, raised his hand to touch his nose, turned to the teacher and said, ¡°Teacher, our team is ready.¡±


    Wang Li also raised her hand: ¡°We¡¯re also ready, teacher.¡±


    ¡°Okay, then you can enter the game cabins now. I will monitor the game. The first team to win five games wins. I will suspend the competition if anyone cheats.¡± Teacher Zhao pushed his glasses and watched them enter the cabins one after another.


    Guan Tang watched the game start on the big screen and clenched his fists nervously.


    Zhuo Hang sat leisurely on the other side. ¡°What¡¯re you worried about? With Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, it¡¯s hard for us to lose.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not worried, just excited, I can¡¯t wait to see that bastard Nie Chen get killed and eat shit!¡± Guan Tang¡¯s fists hit his knees excitedly twice, his eyes bright.


    Zhuo Hang¡¯s head turned to look at him mechanically. He was speechless for a long time, and then turned back mechanically.


    The game began. Soon after both sides entered the arena, there was a confrontation.


    After nearly a week of cooperation, Qiu Zhenyang was already familiar with the fighting methods of his teammates, and they were also  familiar with several of his offensive routines. They quickly occupied the entire battlefield according to his instructions.


    Although Nie Chen and his team cooperated very well, they didn¡¯t have systematic training. There was no way for them to catch up, so whether it was basic operations or explosive power, they were completely suppressed by Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s team.


    ¡°First blood! So fast!¡± Guan Tang said proudly to Wang Lin who was sitting on the other side when the situation on the screen was shown. ¡°How bad are you guys? How long has it been since the game started, not even a minute. By the way, this has never happened in our club¡¯s internal training.¡±


    Wang Lin¡¯s skills rank at the bottom of her team, so she didn¡¯t play this time. Losing a head in such a short period of time is really not a happy thing.


    But despite this, she still snorted coldly: ¡°What¡¯s there to be proud of? Guan Tang, you¡¯re as naive as before. The game has just started, you guys just found a flaw.¡±


    Her voice was full of irony, which irked Guan Tang. He waved his fist at her and retorted hotly, ¡°Just you wait. Acting tough now, wait till you cry later!¡±


    Zhuo Hang, who was silently watching the play, gave Guan Tang a thumbs up.


    Teacher Zhao didn¡¯t care what they were saying, all his attention was on the game. He¡¯s the teacher for the club, but also a game enthusiast. Having also obtained a spot for the internal test of ¡°Machine Wars¡±, he liked the game very much. It was precisely because of this that he agreed to Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s request without any hesitation.


    Staring at the screen intently, the more he watched Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s team¡¯s operations, the more shocked he became. Their club was only established a week ago! In just one week, this level of cooperation, these operations, it is really amazing!


    As a result, the first game was over in less than half an hour.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s team won.


    ¡°It¡¯s great! As expected of the president! Ling Mu is also great, I really admire him more and more!¡± Guan Tang cheered with the rest of the members watching the game, as if they were already celebrating having won the competition.


    Wang Li and her members turned pale. After a round, she could see the gap between the two teams no matter how stupid she was.


    It¡¯s impossible to beat Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s team!


    Sure enough, the time for each round grew shorter and shorter. In the past, when Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu had just started playing, they could still play each round for an hour given the obstruction of pig teammates. Now there are no pig teammates, they can fully cooperate, and victory is effortless!


    Without the slightest suspense, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s team won five consecutive victories and directly beat the other ten till they were stupid.


    After coming out of the game cabin, Nie Chen gritted his teeth and pointed at Qiu Zhenyang and roared: ¡°You f*cking cheat! Don¡¯t think I¡¯m admitting to this competition, you must have used your hands and feet!¡±


    Other members also got angry: ¡°That¡¯s it, how else could you play like this? You must be cheating!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at them with his arms crossed, and shrugged: ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to blame me, why don¡¯t you ask Mr. Zhao?¡±


    Mr. Zhao, who recorded the entire match, pushed his glasses and said with a fair and selfless expression: ¡°Student Qiu and them didn¡¯t cheat. I used a special cheat detector this time, and will receive a reminder if any means are used. They really won these games.¡±


    Guan Tang was so happy that he couldn¡¯t hold it, and jumped over to brag in front of Nie Chen: ¡°Did you hear? The teacher said that we didn¡¯t cheat. Is it so difficult to admit that we are better?¡±


    Nie Chen¡¯s anger transferred to Guan Tang instantly, and he glared angrily. ¡°What the hell was that? Do you want to die, Guan Tang! Don¡¯t think you are an omega and I won¡¯t dare to beat you!¡±


    ¡°Who are you beating?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s eyes turned cold. He reached Guan Tang in two to three steps, and pushed him behind him. ¡°Are you really an alpha? It¡¯s okay if your skills are not as good as someone else¡¯s, why is your character so bad? Before swearing at Guan Tang, return the money first.¡±


    As soon as Ling Mu spoke, Qiu Zhenyang twisted his neck and gave his members a glance. Within a few seconds, the team who was cheering for the victory all changed, giving off the aura of being ready to fight as they looked at the other party provocatively.


    People dare to bully their club? Looking for death, do they really think they are a group of otakus?


    In the end, Mr. Zhao was there, and he wouldn¡¯t really let the students fight, so he stopped in the middle and said, ¡°Qiu Zhenyang and his club won this game. According to the agreement that was signed, you should pay back all the money. Don¡¯t say anything else, Wang Lin, as the president, don¡¯t you feel ashamed such a thing happened? It¡¯s more than 160,000. Someone else would have called the police a long time ago. I won¡¯t pursue this matter if you pay back the money.¡±


    This kind of thing is not right, and Teacher Zhao has already given them a lot of face. It was really ugly to swindle the money of a junior classmate, and now they¡¯re roguish and blaming them for cheating in a fair competition.


    Even if she was not convinced after Teacher Zhao spoke up, Wang Lin didn¡¯t dare to say anything else. Grabbing Nie Chen¡¯s arm, she told him to stop talking, and turned to Guan Tang. ¡°The money, we will return it to you within three days.¡±


    Goal achieved, Qiu Zhenyang put his arm on Ling Mu¡¯s shoulder and smiled at them: ¡°Work hard~¡±


    Scum is face-slapped!

    T/N: Check out my new modern day, entertainment BL project here! The first chapter is posted today.


    -K


    Qiu Zhenyang once again gathered everyone at the milk tea shop that evening to celebrate their victory.


    Although the milk tea shop was rented out, Qiu Zhenyang can use it whenever he wants. This was agreed upon in advance.


    Because eating fried chicken is rather monotonous, Qiu Zhenyang took advantage of the large crowd and directly prepared a large indoor BBQ grill. This grill had a powerful ventilation system, so the smells of smoke and grease would not waft out which was quite nice.


    He handled the ingredients and sauces himself. As for the barbecue, naturally, the experienced hands all helped.


    ¡°Today¡¯s fight was really cool! Did you see their eyes? They were so arrogant at first, but they became like dead dogs. They even had the face to say that we cheated!¡± Xi Jun grabbed the skewer with both hands, proudly describing Nie Chen¡¯s gang.


    Yuan Chenyu also followed up: ¡°They don¡¯t even think about how bad their skills are, and have the nerve to say that we cheated? That Nie Chen, after finding out they can¡¯t beat us, acts like a dog, and in the end, becomes a dead dog!¡±


    Everyone laughed, and this joy was even more infuriating than getting a high score on the exam.


    The happiest person today was Guan Tang. After Teacher Zhao announced the result, he taunted the other side, especially Nie Chen and Wang Lin. He could already see that the two had a somewhat different relationship, so he almost never stopped talking.


    With the backing of their club, Guan Tang is not afraid at all. If they dare to do something, they have more people. Can he be afraid? Even if they want to argue, they should have a reason. Instead, they pull out such nonsense arguments, and can only let Guan Tang scold them happily in the end!


    The scumbag is matched with green tea, and after receiving the money, Guan Tang never wants to have anything to do with them again in this life!


    While everyone was joking and laughing, Qiu Zhenyang was watching the fire next to the barbecue, flipping the skewers on it from time to time. Ling Mu was next to him, drinking the drink in his hand. His cooking skills are really not good, unable to make an edible skewer, so he just gave up.


    ¡°Give me a drink.¡± Busy flipping the skewers, Qiu Zhenyang gestured at the drink in Ling Mu¡¯s hand.


    Ling Mu handed over the drink and let him take a few sips from the straw.


    ¡°Give me some spice.¡± Seeing that Qiu Zhenyang never used the pepper powder, Ling Mu thought he had forgotten and opened his mouth to remind him.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Although he is not very fond of spicy food, BBQ tastes a little better with a hint of spice.


    ¡°You will suffer if you eat it.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was serious.


    Ling Mu was a little speechless: ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s only a little, I can also stomach spicy noodles. Besides, these noodles don¡¯t seem to be that spicy, right? The last time we went out to ride a cloud bike, I could eat them¡­¡±


    He paused, unable to speak more, because Ling Mu suddenly realized that although the barbecue that time was not spicy, after being done by Qiu Zhenyang that night, he would suffer the next day¡­


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyes suddenly became dangerous as he looked at Qiu Zhenyang suspiciously. ¡°What are you thinking?¡±


    The latter blinked: ¡°It¡¯s the same as what you think.¡±


    ¡°Bullshit, no way!¡± Ling Mu refused on the spot, and then scanned their vicinity out of fear that someone might have overheard what they were saying.


    Qiu Zhenyang sighed and said earnestly: ¡°Xiao Mumu, modern science shows that after a complete mark, doing it is good for physical and mental health. Besides, we haven¡¯t hit twice this week. Today is Saturday, tomorrow Sunday, and this week is done!¡±


    Thinking of being able to spend two nights in a row happily with the person he loves the most, Qiu Zhenyang can¡¯t wait to take Ling Mu home now!


    Having promised twice this week, Ling Mu couldn¡¯t refute, so he could only close his mouth and grab the drink bottle and leave.


    He didn¡¯t really object to that, after all, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s skills are quite good¡­ But this guy is too unrestrained, and he feels like death afterwards every time! If it wasn¡¯t for him being dead tired, the bastard would never let him go!


    With endless melancholy, Ling Mu couldn¡¯t eat much barbecue tonight.


    When the party was about to end, Qiu Zhenyang suddenly received a message. He opened the terminal and saw that it was actually a message from the principal.


    [Student Qiu, Mr. Zhao has shown me the video of your competition this afternoon. He proposed to me to hold a game competition between schools. I think it is very suitable. Do you have time to come to my office tomorrow afternoon to discuss it?]


    Qiu Zhenyang was a little stunned when he finished, but he didn¡¯t expect that the school would bring up such a competition first.


    At present, the formal application for a competition is still being reviewed. Interstellar Academy is one of the benchmarks in the entire interstellar space ¨C if it holds an e-sports competition at this time, it will definitely promote the development of the e-sports industry!


    It¡¯s a great thing!


    Qiu Zhenyang never thought that a personal grievance could bring such benefits, and he was overjoyed for a while!


    He was not in a hurry to tell the members about this, but was prepared to wait for confirmation before making an announcement. So until the end of the meeting, he was a little absent-minded.


    Ling Mu and him finally packed up and then closed the store and left. Seeing that Qiu Zhenyang was always in a trance, he couldn¡¯t help but ask him on the way back after closing the store, ¡°I saw that you received a message tonight. What happened? Are you OK?¡±


    Facing Ling Mu, there was no need to hide it, Qiu Zhenyang told him directly what the principal sent him.


    ¡°A game between schools?¡± Ling Mu was also excited. ¡°So, is it going to be held jointly with other schools?¡±


    This is too surprising, after all, there has never been such a competition before. This event completely opened a new door!


    Qiu Zhenyang nodded: ¡°It should be, I¡¯m also quite shocked by this matter. I¡¯ll go to the principal¡¯s side tomorrow to inquire more.¡±


    Ling Mu pursed his lower lip, and after thinking about it, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Take me with you!¡±


    He really wanted to know the result!


    ¡°Okay, you can go with me.¡± Qiu Zhenyang had no objection, anyway, the principal didn¡¯t say that he was not allowed to take others. Besides, Ling Mu¡¯s relationship with him is so close, why can¡¯t he participate?


    The next afternoon, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went to the principal¡¯s office together. To their surprise, the two also saw another unfamiliar middle-aged male alpha in the principal¡¯s office.


    ¡°Hello, principal.¡± Qiu Zhenyang greeted the principal first, and then asked him who the other person was with his eyes.


    The principal introduced them with a smile: ¡°This is a friend of mine who works in the review department, surnamed Yu. He happened to see the application for e-sports competition submitted by the First Consortium, and learned the founder of ¡°Machine Wars¡± is a student at our school, so he came over to ask about the situation. I never expected it to coincide with the time of your visit.¡±


    ¡°Hello, Uncle Yu.¡± Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu respectfully said hello. Such a person from the review department can¡¯t be neglected.


    Yu Liang is a kind-hearted man. His eyes were full of admiration seeing the two young people in front of him with a smile. Although the success of the game mostly depends on the financial resources of the First Consortium, but Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s ability to come up with such a game is enough to show his limitless future.


    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s talk about the school league first.¡± The principal bade everyone sit down at the table, crossed his hands, and looked at Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°I watched your game yesterday, and one thing that makes me particularly supportive is the profoundness of mecha. It¡¯s even more effective than the teaching in our school in some respects. After all, the school has to consider the safety aspect, and this kind of holographic game is much more convenient.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang said modestly: ¡°Holographic games still can¡¯t compare with real operations. The school¡¯s teaching is really suitable for the students.¡±


    ¡°Haha, your game can make the students feel the atmosphere on the battlefield. It¡¯s not bad.¡±


    Ling Mu looked back and forth, feeling bored listening to the back and forth praise. He really is not suitable for this kind of occasion¡­


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t like too many polite words, so he asked directly: ¡°Principal, when are you going to hold this school league?¡±


    The principal thought for a while, tapping the armrest of the chair with one hand, before replying, ¡°There are still almost two months until the final exam. If you want the students to relax before the exam, the game must be held in about a month.¡±


    This is the most suitable time. Any earlier or later is inopportune.


    This was also in-line with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡°Okay, I believe the principal will handle the other schools, so is there anything I can help with?¡± Qiu Zhenyang knew that the principal who called him here would not just inform himself.


    Sure enough, the principal continued: ¡°I was going to ask the person in charge of the First Consortium first, but I think it would be more appropriate to tell you. I would like to ask you to sponsor the game, and our school will help promote the game. As for the cost of the competition and the awards¡­¡±


    The principal did not continue, but looked at Qiu Zhenyang with a ¡°you know¡± look.


    Yes, he wants to pull sponsorship.


    Qiu Zhenyang laughed a little, tried his best to control his facial expression and said, ¡°Of course this is okay, principal, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°Ah, then it will be no problem.¡± The principal laughed.


    Yu Liang, who was next to him, couldn¡¯t help looking at his friend with a teasing expression: ¡°Yo, the Interstellar Academy with deep pockets still looks for sponsors amongst its students?¡±


    The principal was not at all embarrassed. ¡°What do you know, I call it reasonable distribution. The rich give out money, those who are strong will do the same. I want to let the students deepen their understanding of mecha combat, while they can promote the game. Why not?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang immediately applauded: ¡°The principal is right!¡±


    Yu Liang: ¡± ¡­¡±


    Thinking of the purpose of his visit this time, Yu Liang still gave Qiu Zhenyang a reminder: ¡°If you¡¯re doing this, you should seize the opportunity. The attitude above is not very optimistic about the e-sports competition, and you need to come up with something to let them agree.¡±


    Hearing this, Qiu Zhenyang nodded solemnly: ¡°I see, thank you Uncle Yu.¡±


    After leaving, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu walked back to the dormitory, feeling a little excited.


    ¡°By the way, your livestream account will also be opened tomorrow. From now on, we will set aside some time to broadcast live every day. Treat it as promoting your personal name.¡± Qiu Zhenyang planned the livestream for a long time, but it was delayed because of Nie Chen and those people.


    Although Ling Mu is not very interested in livestreaming, he is still very interested in the potential benefits.


    Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu¡¯s hand and walked slowly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. ¡°Our career is on the way, and soon, with your superb skills, you will become the object of worship for all ¡°Machine Wars¡± players!¡±


    Even Ling Mu himself wasn¡¯t so confident, so he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°You are so sure that my skills can be recognized by everyone?¡±


    ¡°Of course! Think about who your master is!¡± With his head held high, there is a feeling of looking down on the world.


    His appearance made Ling Mu smile, and his clasped hand tightened.


    Can he really shine in his favorite field?


    Just thinking about it made him excited!


    Mumu gets a stage to perform now.

    After returning home, Qiu Zhenyang contacted the game developers to talk about sponsoring the school competition.


    He thought about whether to tell his grandma about it. After all, it¡¯s a big undertaking, and he was a little worried that he would not be able to complete it. But thinking about his grandmother¡¯s full support when preparing for the game, her tolerance and expectations for him¡­ Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t say anything in the end. He just reminded the team to submit a copy of the plan to the First Consortium headquarters.


    It¡¯s time to be on my own.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t tell grandma?¡± After Ling Mu knew Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s plan. Although he was surprised, he felt that it was unexpected and reasonable.


    Qiu Zhenyang was sitting on the sofa searching for some entertainment activities held by the Interstellar Academy over the years. He wanted to refer to it, and replied without raising his head: ¡°Well, I can¡¯t rely on grandma for everything. She¡¯s already helped with the game production process a lot.¡±


    Ling Mu nodded and sat beside Qiu Zhenyang to read the information he looked up.


    ¡°Our school has held so many entertainment activities?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s hand swiped up and down on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s terminal page. ¡°Our school is really¡­ a combination of work and rest.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang chuckled when he heard the words: ¡°Well, Interstellar Academy is famous for its freedom and diversity. No matter what field it is, as long as one is interested and talented, you can receive the education you want most here, just like on mecha. Therefore, the academy remains a big name amongst the many schools.¡±


    Speaking of this, Qiu Zhenyang still admires Interstellar Academy. After all, it is not easy to be able to have excellent educators and trainers across all fields. How much resources will it cost?


    ¡°How do you plan to arrange the school league? Is our club going to participate?¡± Ling Mu was a little excited. After the battle with Nie Chen and his club, he still wanted to fight more to train himself!


    Knowing Ling Mu¡¯s thoughts, Qiu Zhenyang raised his arms and circled the person in his arms, kissing his side face: ¡°Of course we¡¯ll join, the club has already been established. What¡¯s the point of practicing, but not participating? Besides, If we don¡¯t let them participate, those guys will go crazy, right?¡±


    Ling Mu nodded his head, ¡°I bet Xi Jun will ask to go head-to-head with you.¡±


    Who¡¯s the most obsessed with ¡°Machine Wars¡± in the entire club? It must be Xi Jun. If it weren¡¯t for Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mandatory training, this guy would have been in the game cabin all day without coming out.


    The two just watched the materials together for a long time. By the end, Qiu Zhenyang had almost figured out the general process.


    This time, the school league is limited to the schools on the Capital Star. After all, don¡¯t know how many schools there will be if other planets are included. Capital Star alone has nearly 100 schools, so even if there¡¯s only one team per school, it adds up to nearly 100 teams.


    Qiu Zhenyang was going to let each school have an intramural competition first, and let these school finalists come to Interstellar Academy for the final competition. To do this, the food and lodging expenses of the players will be a huge expense, but this is not a big problem for Qiu Zhenyang.


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t plan to use the same competition format as with Nie Chen and the others, but to decide the outcome in one round. After all, it was necessary to strictly control the time of each game.


    As for the awards, Qiu Zhenyang is going to give the winner a grand prize of 5 million federal dollars, followed by 3 million for the second place and 1 million for the third place. This amount is huge in the interstellar.


    Taking advantage of the energy, Qiu Zhenyang sorted out these ideas and handed them over to the planning department. By afternoon the next day, a complete plan was submitted to the principal¡¯s office and passed on the spot.


    ¡°Okay, Student Qiu, able to finish it in one night? When we held an event before, it took several days for other people¡¯s plans to be handed in. The future generations are daunting!¡± The principal patted Qiu Zhenyang on the shoulder, full of praise for this young man.


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t say a word. Given his human, material, and financial resources, in addition to the planning and special departments to help check and fill the gaps, his speed was of course faster.


    ¡°Then the rest of the schools will be handed over to the principal. I will bring the members of our club to practice first.¡± Now that time is tight, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t want to waste a minute or even a second, so he bade farewell to the principal.


    After arriving at the club classroom, everyone has already started to practice independently.


    Before, Qiu Zhenyang assigned them practice tasks according to each person¡¯s position. On the side, who knew what Zhuo Hang and Guan Tang were doing as they sat in front of a computer terminal and watched with gusto.


    Qiu Zhenyang leaned over to take a look and found that Guan Tang was watching Ling Mu¡¯s livestream.


    Before going to the principal¡¯s office, Qiu Zhenyang set up an account for Ling Mu to livestream during his practice. This means he¡¯ll randomly match with teammates and command them in the marshal¡¯s position.


    Aware of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s approach, Guan Tang couldn¡¯t help but say to him with a star-like stare: ¡°Ling Mu is really amazing! It¡¯s only been an hour since the livestream, and there are already more than 100,000 fans. I almost thought you bought a navy!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was silent for a while, then his eyes lit up. ¡°Good idea, I¡¯ll go now and buy more!¡±


    Guan Tang: ¡°¡­¡±


    In fact, Qiu Zhenyang was just saying it for fun, because Ling Mu didn¡¯t need these fake fans at all. After all, this livestream platform was originally owned by the First Consortium. Qiu Zhenyang pushed Ling Mu to the homepage with a few words, and coupled with Ling Mu¡¯s solid skills, 100,000 followers in an hour is normal.


    He took a look at the content on the livestream barrage. Most of them were discussing Ling Mu¡¯s skill, but a small number of people were actually¡­ blowing rainbow farts on Ling Mu¡¯s appearance?


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, grabbed the controller in Guan Tang¡¯s hand, and opened the profiles of those people, only to find that they were all omegas!


    ¡°Why are you so shocked? There are a lot of fans, and Ling Mu¡¯s skills are so powerful, he will definitely become the idol of omegas!¡± He pointed to Ling Mu¡¯s fan support group. ¡°Look, these people have given Ling Mu a lot of gifts, so I added them to the group!¡±


    Seeing the support group content, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.


    [Wow, Mumu is really amazing! I want to give him monkeys!]


    [Crush the duck, defeat Qiu Zhenyang! Chase Ling Mu!]


    [I think Ling Mu is so handsome when playing games. He must be an alpha in mind and body, can¡¯t help myself!]


    ¡°Are you sure this is a fan group?¡± Blue veins throbbed on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s temples. ¡°There¡¯s no doubt Ling Mu is handsome, but what the hell is giving him a monkey? What the hell is knocking me down? Ling Mu and I are an official pair! Official pair, don¡¯t you understand! It is impossible to separate! They have no chance!¡±


    Guan Tang glared at Qiu Zhenyang with disgust. ¡°Why are you so excited? If you have the ability, why not marry Ling Mu on the spot!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang: ¡°¡­¡±


    He took a deep breath and decided not to bother with these omegas. Hmph, Ling Mu is his anyway. These omegas can¡¯t beat Ling Mu in life or games, what qualifications do they have to be with Ling Mu?!


    Qiu Zhenyang sat down and turned his attention to the livestream again, and decided to take a look at those who praised Ling Mu technology to ease his mood.


    As a result, because of someone¡¯s sentence ¡°Such a special omega, I feel very emotional¡±, the trend of the barrage changed again. And this time, it¡¯s no longer just omegas who fan over Ling Mu¡¯s face, even the alphas and betas joined in!


    [To tell the truth, actually, I also think this kind of omega is very interesting¡­]


    [I¡¯m tired of seeing those delicate omegas. Ling Mu¡¯s cold-looking and slender figure gives me a good feeling!]


    [There seems to be a word called contrast cuteness1re: tsundere? Don¡¯t know how this thorn-headed cutie will look in bed¡­]


    [+1.]


    [Typing with both feet to show innocence!]


    ¡°President¡­President! Qiu, Qiu Zhenyang! Don¡¯t get excited! The computer belongs to the school. If you break the computer, you will be scolded by the principal!¡± Guan Tang looked at Qiu Zhenyang who slammed his fist on the deck, and directly ran to a corner to take refuge.


    Qiu Zhenyang gritted his teeth and looked at the countless ¡°+1¡± and ¡°+ID number¡± floating by the barrage. In anger, he shook his hand and held down the mouse, and started¡­ Muting!


    [The tyrant in A has been silenced by housekeeper Qiu Zhenyang.]


    [Elope with me has been banned by housekeeper Qiu Zhenyang.]


    [Lost eggtart has been banned by housekeeper Qiu Zhenyang.]


    ¡­


    After muting several people in a row, Qiu Zhenyang let out a savage breath. ¡°Let you guys say, YY other people¡¯s daughter-in-law is unkind, understand?¡±


    Guan Tang carefully came over to look at it, and said a little speechlessly: ¡°Their trumpets are here.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang: ? ? ?


    Sure enough, the group of people came back with trumpets, and called Qiu Zhenyang out directly.


    [That surnamed Qiu actually banned me from speaking! I, Hu Hansan, am back! What the hell, I just became interested in Ling Mu. Bite me!]


    [I have a lot of trumpets. You can ban them slowly. Before you marry Ling Mu, everything is still uncertain.]


    [Tomorrow I will find Ling Mu and confess!]


    Qiu Zhenyang felt that he was going to die of high blood pressure¡­


    He rubbed his brows, and dismissing what they just said, he entered an empty game cabin and started up the game.


    After Ling Mu finished a game, he was about to start another one when he received an invitation from Qiu Zhenyang. He went in without hesitation, and wanted to ask him about the game: ¡°The principal¡¯s side¡­¡±


    ¡°Wifey!¡±


    Ling Mu was so frightened by the loud noise that he was hugged by the avatar in the room before he could react.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pretentious voice sounded in the livestream room: ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for more than an hour. I really miss you! I know you must miss me too, right? It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll play with you next.¡±


    Vomiting expressions filled the comments.


    Ling Mu felt goosebumps all over him, and pushed the person away in disgust. Because he remembered that he was still streaming, he lowered his voice and said, ¡°What are you doing? Did you take the wrong medication?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was obviously upset, and could only say: ¡°I wish it was me who took the wrong medicine rather than my wife being coveted by others.¡±


    ¡°?¡± Ling Mu couldn¡¯t understand what he was talking about.


    Looking at Ling Mu, who knew nothing about the situation in the livestream room, Qiu Zhenyang also knew that he probably did not open the livestream room to communicate, but to stream. With a sigh in his heart, Qiu Zhenyang hugged and rubbed the person again, and even kissed his cheek.


    ¡°¡­What the hell are you trying to do?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang shook his head. Eager to sprinkle dog food, he clicked to start.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, let¡¯s play games, Husband and wife will pair up together!¡±


    Ahahahaha QZY deserves to be depressed Mumu is popular.

    Although he said that he would help Ling Mu to inquire about his mother¡¯s situation, what surprised Qiu Zhenyang was that the information he heard showed that Dong Qiulan had never appeared in other places since he appeared in the Lin family before.


    Given this, either she was still in the Lin family, or had disappeared for no reason. After all, given the power of the Qiu family, it¡¯s impossible to not have any trace of a person on Capital Star.


    Qiu Zhenyang felt that something was wrong. He did not share the news with Ling Mu for the time being, but called Qiu Haolin.


    ¡°I asked someone just now. When they searched the Lin house that day, they didn¡¯t seem to see Dong Qiulan.¡± Qiu Haolin also felt strange, and said in a heavy voice, ¡°I have a bad guess. After we took everyone away that day, did Lin Zhiyuan direct all his anger on Dong Qiulan? He couldn¡¯t control his anger, which led to serious consequences, so he hid her?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang felt that his brother¡¯s description was euphemistic. Dong Qiulan¡¯s situation is probably not optimistic.


    ¡°Brother, is there any place in Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s house to hide people?¡± Qiu Zhenyang frowned. He was more concerned about Ling Mu, and didn¡¯t think much back then. It¡¯s very likely that Dong Qiulan is still in the Lin family. There should be some reason why she cannot come out or is unwilling to come out.


    Qiu Haolin flipped through the report he just took out, and carefully looked at the following details, but still found nothing: ¡°The report says that the house has a basement, but they didn¡¯t find the entrance to the basement that day, and the servant didn¡¯t say anything either. Later, Lin Zhiyuan received the news and rushed back, so the prosecutors could only do a cursory search before leaving.¡±


    It seemed that the so-called basement was very suspicious. Qiu Zhenyang thought about it and opened his mouth: ¡°Since we still have reason to, would you like to go to the Lin family to investigate?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t go in without a search warrant, and Lin Zhiyuan has been very manic recently, looking for trouble every day. It was rumored before that Mr. Lin directly eliminated Lin Zhiyuan as a successor, but he doesn¡¯t even bother pretending now. In short, there¡¯s been a lot of movement recently. You should¡¯ve also found out he played some tricks to your game.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang responded, ¡°Something happened,  but it was easy to handle. His power should have weakened, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t use such petty tricks. After all, I sent his son to prison, and indirectly caused him to lose his inheritance rights. He should hate me down to the bone now.¡±


    This sentence was just a joke, but Qiu Haolin said seriously: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, brother will not let him have the opportunity to hurt you.¡±


    ¡°Well, I know.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s heart was warm, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, brother, no one can bully our Qiu family.¡±


    After hanging up, Qiu Zhenyang pondered for a while, not sure if he should tell Ling Mu about it.


    Although there is no definite result yet, the situation is not optimistic.


    Lovers should be frank, but Qiu Zhenyang was worried that this would affect Ling Mu¡¯s mood. After struggling for a while, he still chose to tell Ling Mu. The relationship between them has always been equal, and Ling Mu isn¡¯t weak. No matter what choice he makes, all he can do is to always be by his side and support his decision.


    After hearing the news, Ling Mu fell silent for a while.


    Sitting on the sofa, the juice glass in his hand was warmed by his warm grip.


    ¡°If you care, we can take a leave of absence and go out to search.  Since there is no news outside, there is a high probability that that person is still at Lin¡¯s house. We can find an excuse to visit.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took the glass in his hand and put it on the table. Ling Mu¡¯s body turned to face him.


    Facing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s serious eyes, Ling Mu felt a little less anxious.


    He touched the scar on his brow bone, and shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. ¡°Forget it, in case she really is there, she might even scold me for meddling.¡±


    Who knows how long Dong Qiulan wanted to enter the Lin family? Instead of wasting time on people who don¡¯t care about him, it¡¯s better to practice his skills and focus on studying. The future is bright, why should he look back on the darkness of the past?


    Looking at Ling Mu¡¯s mouth say it¡¯s okay, but in fact was not relieved, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t say much.


    He asked a question that puzzled him for a long time: ¡°Where did the scar on your brow come from?¡±


    Although he wanted to ask before, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t say it for fear of touching Ling Mu¡¯s sore spot. He finally remembered to ask after seeing Ling Mu touch the scar. It wasn¡¯t too obvious, but the position next to the eye was frightening, and he couldn¡¯t help feeling distressed.


    ¡°My mother beat me,¡± Ling Mu¡¯s eyes were calm, and he raised his hand to touch the scar hidden in his eyebrow again. ¡°Ling Dang and I were just taken to Lin¡¯s house back then, and Lin Nuo didn¡¯t like us. He told Lin Zhiyuan that I hit him, and my mother slapped me in order to please Lin Zhiyuan, and her overly long nails directly cut the skin on my brow bone.¡±


    Thinking of the previous life, Ling Mu closed his eyes.


    It if weren¡¯t for his situation being so bad, who would want to make trouble? Cold, fierce, and refusing others from thousands of miles away, these are protective layers he wore. If it wasn¡¯t for Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s influence changing him, he might have lived like that for the rest of his life.


    Qiu Zhenyang took the man into his arms and hugged him, and put a soft kiss on his forehead. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll make them pay back what they owe you! The trial is coming up, and it won¡¯t be long before Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s lineage completely loses everything.¡±


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t speak, just let Qiu Zhenyang hold him.


    Such a sense of security in the arms is really nice.


    There wasn¡¯t much time left, but they still had much to do. Qiu Zhenyang temporarily handed over the training of the club to Zhuo Hang, and completely devoted himself to the upcoming trial. In order to impose additional sentences on Lin Yuhan, he even read up on¡±Interstellar Law¡±, ¡°Federal Law¡± and ¡°Capital Star Law¡±. If it weren¡¯t for his willpower and determination, these books would have crushed him!


    Two days before the trial, Qiu Zhenyang had almost finished all preparations when bad news came from Qiu Haolin.


    ¡°Not enough evidence?¡± Qiu Zhenyang faced his brother in the video with a solemn expression.


    ¡°Yes, Lin Zhiyuan is very cautious. The evidence we have found so far is only enough to sentence him to a year or two. The most important informant has not been found.¡± Qiu Haolin pinched his eyebrows, and  had a headache.


    In fact, although the Qiu family¡¯s power is very large, their main battlefield is in interstellar space. It is somewhat difficult to fight on the capital star. After all, Lin Zhiyuan is like a duck in water here, and it is really not easy to pull him out of the water in such a short time.


    Qiu Zhenyang tapped his fingers on the table, pondering for a moment. ¡°Let¡¯s do this first, use the evidence we have. This way, he won¡¯t be able to do anything for a year or two, and we can take this opportunity to continue our investigation.¡± He¡¯s not in a hurry anyway. With Lin Zhiyuan in prison, the rest of the Lin family can¡¯t take action in order to avoid suspicion, and they can¡¯t make any waves.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Qiu Haolin nodded and closed the video to continue his work.


    Qiu Zhenyang got up and took a shower and lay down on the bed to fall asleep, but he vaguely heard the sound of a door opening in the corridor in the middle of the night. Ling Mu was the only other person here ¨C what was he doing up so late?


    His worries about Ling Mu overcame his drowsiness. Qiu Zhenyang yawned and sat up from the bed, put on his slippers and opened the door and went downstairs.


    When he came down from the upstairs, Qiu Zhenyang saw Ling Mu sitting on the sofa in the living room without the lights on. The moonlight fell on the ground through the window, covering Ling Mu¡¯s fair feet, but he couldn¡¯t see his expression clearly.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Qiu Zhenyang sat down beside him. He finally saw Ling Mu¡¯s expression after adapting to the darkness. At this moment, the latter had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his expression was full of exhaustion.


    Ling Mu suddenly lay sideways on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s knees, which made the latter¡¯s mind sway for a while. Qiu Zhenyang took a tissue from the table and gently covered it on Ling Mu¡¯s forehead, wiping away the cold sweat for him.


    ¡°I just had a dream. I dreamed what my father told me every time he went to the battlefield ¨C he asked me to take good care of Ling Dang and my mother.¡±


    Ling Mu was very tired. It was not the first time he had this dream. Every time he dreamed of his father¡¯s advice, he would wake up from the dream. Because he felt really uncomfortable today, he came out and sat in the living room for a while to calm down. He didn¡¯t expect to wake Qiu Zhenyang.


    Qiu Zhenyang touched Ling Mu¡¯s thorny short hair while listening. His Xiao Mumu seemed to be colder than anyone else, and hated being bound by emotions more than anyone else, but in fact his heart was so soft that even after being hurt by Dong Qiulan, he was still trapped by his father¡¯s words, and couldn¡¯t sleep well.


    With a sigh in his heart, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help muttering: ¡°If Adjutant Ling knew that your mother would become like this later, he would definitely not put such pressure on you.¡±


    As a father, his words are not wrong, but it is a pity that Adjutant Ling does not know people. He couldn¡¯t see through Dong Qiulan¡¯s true face, which caused both his son and daughter to suffer after he left.


    ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. Tomorrow we will take leave and go to Lin¡¯s house to find her.¡± Qiu Zhenyang made a decision. Ling Mu can¡¯t continue like this.


    Sure enough, Ling Mu no longer refused this time. He was really fed up with this kind of restlessness day after day. It¡¯s best to figure it out.


    After confirming tomorrow¡¯s plan, Qiu Zhenyang patted Ling Mu¡¯s arm: ¡°Let¡¯s go, come to my room and sleep. If you can¡¯t sleep, I¡¯ll chat with you. Your face doesn¡¯t look too well, and you need to rest.¡±


    Ling Mu sat up from Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lap and looked at him suspiciously. ¡°You don¡¯t want to do anything else, do you?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was immediately amused. ¡°Am I so thirsty?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s disbelieving eyes said it all.


    ¡°Okay, okay, just treat me as hungry and thirsty? But even if I want to, I won¡¯t do anything tonight. Your body is the most important thing. Now you need to sleep well.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was too lazy to explain. He directly picked him up and carried him to the room, then tucked him in bed like he was taking care of a child, and lay down.


    ¡°Okay, go to sleep.¡± Qiu Zhenyang patted his chest and smiled softly.


    Ling Mu looked at him sideways, a strong emotion surged up in his heart. He suddenly leaned up and kissed Qiu Zhenyang on the cheek like a dragonfly.


    The soft lips made Qiu Zhenyang stunned. He looked back, but Ling Mu had buried his face in the quilt. A muffled voice came from the quilt, with Ling Mu¡¯s unique awkwardness: ¡°Good night kiss, sleep.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s throat rolled. He planned on doing nothing, but Xiao Mumu is too cute! Hold back! Hold back!


    Eyes wide open Qiu Zhenyang took deep breaths, feeling life was too difficult.


    After finally calming down the impulse, he turned sideways and hugged him into his arms. In order to prevent Ling Mu from being suffocated, he dug his face out of the quilt.


    Pressing a tender kiss on the cheek, Qiu Zhenyang hugged his lover in contentment.


    ¡°Good night.¡±


    Resolution of Mumu¡¯s mom and the Lin family coming up next.

 CH 81

    With Qiu Zhenyang by his side, Ling Mu had a good night¡¯s sleep.


    After getting up the next day, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu asked for leave to leave the school. After all, his identity is not ordinary. The counselor thought they had something to do and released them easily.


    The two went straight to the Lin family villa area. Qiu Zhenyang first observed the situation on the side of the street and found that there were a lot of security guards at the gate.


    ¡°Grandma sent me the invite1like a visiting invitation or calling card just now, and said that we were going to visit Mr. Lin. After entering the villa area, we will go to Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s house.¡± Qiu Zhenyang transferred the invite over.


    He looked down at the terminal, but did not notice any movement at the gate over there. Ling Mu grabbed his arm and said, ¡°It looks like Lin Nuo¡¯s mother in that car.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang looked up and saw a car passing from Lin¡¯s house, through the gate. The person sitting inside was none other than Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s wife, Weng Quan.


    He looked at Weng Quan¡¯s calm face but obviously nervous eyes, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. Lin Zhiyuan doesn¡¯t necessarily do everything by himself, and Weng Quan, who is also from a famous family, may also be in on it. But because she was a seemingly harmless omega and acted like she didn¡¯t know anything, no one¡¯s attention was on her.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not go in yet, follow Weng Quan to see what she does.¡± Qiu Zhenyang had an intuition, Weng Quan went out probably for Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s matters.


    Generally, a wealthy family like the Lin family would take a high-end aircraft when they travel, which is very high-profile. But she went out in a very ordinary car. It seemed that she didn¡¯t want to attract attention. Maybe they can really find some clues this time.


    Ling Mu knew which was more important, and immediately nodded in agreement.


    After the two of them came out of the school, they used a rental motorcycle service on the side of the road. Putting on their helmets, Ling Mu sat behind Qiu Zhenyang and hugged Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s waist tightly, and they set off again.


    Because he was wearing a helmet and a motorcycle is relatively small, Qiu Zhenyang was not worried that their tracking would be exposed.


    After Weng Quan¡¯s car stopped in front of a coffee shop, Qiu Zhenyang also parked the car on the side of the road, sneaked in and sat down not far away. Although the location is relatively close, it is very well-hidden, and cannot be seen from Weng Quan¡¯s point of view.


    At the same time, Qiu Zhenyang also took out a small recorder in order to hear what was going on. This type of recorder can be controlled remotely, so he controlled the recorder to the bottom of the table where Weng Quan was sitting, and leaned it against the table post to prevent it from being trampled.


    To prevent anyone from noticing, he then raised his hand and beckoned the waiter for two cups of coffee, before redirecting his attention to Weng Quan¡¯s side.


    The woman looked very nervous. She could pretend to be calm when she was in the car, but her demeanor was utterly different now. Sitting alone, clasping her hands nervously and rubbing them together. She didn¡¯t even hear what the waiter said, and was asked three times before she could react.


    ¡°Ah, don¡¯t need it for now, I¡¯m waiting for someone, I¡¯ll order when he comes over.¡±


    Weng Quan sent the waiter away, while Qiu Zhenyang narrowed his eyes and turned on the video recording function in the terminal just in case.


    After a while, Weng Quan stood up and waved at a man who came in at the door.


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu immediately lowered their heads to prevent the man from noticing them when he came over.


    ¡°Brother, what¡¯s the matter with you recently?¡± Weng Quan lowered his voice, obviously anxious.


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, who were monitoring with headphones, looked at each other. They didn¡¯t expect it to be Weng Quan¡¯s brother. They didn¡¯t investigate Weng Quan beforehand, so they didn¡¯t know his background, and could only listen in.


    The man was an alpha, his voice was low and hoarse: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? It¡¯s just a few mice who want to find out about Lin Zhiyuan. They just think I¡¯m a shrimp and don¡¯t put any energy on me at all.¡±


    His tone was quite indifferent, and even a little smug. ¡°Who would have thought that I would lead Lin Zhiyuan? As long as they can¡¯t find me, your waste husband won¡¯t have any major problems.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were immediately shocked when they heard this, the former¡¯s heart even jumped.


    Qiu Haolin had clearly told him before that progress on Lin Zhiyuan was stagnant because he couldn¡¯t find the informant, but if this man didn¡¯t lie, he was the one they were looking for!


    They¡¯re quite lucky to have bumped into and followed Weng Quan out, and even recorded the interaction. All this is much too coincidental!


    On the other side, Weng Quan was frightened and got up to cover her brother¡¯s mouth with a pale face. ¡°Do you have a brain? What if they¡¯re ears on the wall? Then we¡¯re all dead!¡±


    Weng Quan really regretted it now. She was worried it was more inconspicuous if her brother came to visit, so she chose to meet outside in a low-key manner. As a result, her brother was just like her son Lin Yuhan, arrogant and brash, saying things without any scruples. Don¡¯t know how to be indiscreet!


    Annoyed by  his younger sister¡¯s actions, he pulled her hand away, and snorted coldly. ¡°Your surprise will attract attention, okay? Hurry up, what¡¯s the matter with me finding me this time?¡±


    This attitude made Weng Quan¡¯s heart even more uneasy, but the situation is too pressing. She had no other option but to bite her lips, take out a card from her handbag, and hand it over.


    ¡°Brother, there are 10 million here. Zhiyuan has been stared at no matter what he does recently, and there is really no way to get out. Can you help deal with the people who delivered the goods?¡± Weng Quan came with a mission today to help Lin Zhiyuan remove as many obstacles as possible.


    The man picked up the card and looked at it, frowning slightly: ¡°Ten million? Is that Lin Zhiyuan a beggar? Even if Mr. Lin doesn¡¯t give him the right of inheritance, he still has a lot of property under his name. He can¡¯t be this poor?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang choked hearing his words, let alone Ling Mu, his eyes filled with doubts about the word ¡°poor¡±.


    ¡°Brother, you also know that it is not easy for us now. There are too many places that need money. Can¡¯t you help us first? After Zhiyuan¡¯s affairs are settled, I will definitely give you more.¡± Weng Quan was also unable to bear her brother¡¯s attitude.


    After some fake sighing, the man finally accepted the card.


    ¡°Okay, I got it. You¡¯re also taking a risk coming out to find me.¡± The man waved his hand and agreed.


    Seeing this, Weng Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really had no choice but to do this. She was worried her terminal was monitored given Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s matter, so she could only ask to meet in person.


    After the matter was finished, Weng Quan didn¡¯t stay any longer and left immediately. The man tapped the card on the table twice, then got up and left.


    The recording was stopped, Qiu Zhenyang looked at Ling Mu with excitement.


    ¡°It¡¯s so profitable, we actually found Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s informant!¡± Qiu Zhenyang sighed, and sent the video to Qiu Haolin. ¡°Brother told me before that because the informant could not be found, there might be no way to give Lin Zhiyuan a severe sentence. Now we know who it is, the rest is easy to handle!¡±


    Ling Mu showed his first smile in the past few days, and then went under the table where Weng Quan was sitting and took the recorder back. The voice in the video is very small, but with a recorder, it can fully show the process of their meeting.


    Qiu Zhenyang took the recorder and put it away, and then asked Ling Mu, ¡°Then let¡¯s go to Lin¡¯s house now?¡±


    The purpose of this visit was to understand Dong Qiulan¡¯s situation. go back.


    But Ling Mu thought about it and decided not to go. ¡°The video has been sent to your brother, and the man is expected to be taken away soon. News will spread quickly, and Weng Quan will suspect something. It¡¯ll be bad for us to appear in the Lin family for no reason, and are taken hostage.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang naturally took this into consideration, but he still wanted to hear Ling Mu¡¯s opinion.


    Now that the two had reached an agreement, he smiled and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s go to the military department now and hand over the recording to the big brother. This is already conclusive proof.¡±


    Ling Mu nodded in agreement immediately, and the two left.


    Because we had greeted Qiu Haolin in advance, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were admitted after some basic security procedures.


    The atmosphere in the military is serious, with solemn soldiers with their backs straight, patrolling back and forth in the barracks.


    Qiu Zhenyang followed the directions and found his brother¡¯s office easily. After knocking on the door twice, he heard a familiar voice behind the door: ¡°Please come in.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang put the recorder on Qiu Haolin¡¯s desk almost immediately after entering. ¡°This is the original recording, I haven¡¯t done anything, their voices are distinct in the video.¡±


    Qiu Haolin picked up the recorder and smiled at his younger brother. ¡°You guys did a great job this time. I¡¯ve sent the video to the Supervision Department. Someone has already gone to Weng Li¡¯s side. He should be escorted over for interrogation in a while.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu looked at each other.


    ¡°Also, because of the relationship between Weng Quan and Weng Li, I have applied to search Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s house again and take Weng Quan away for questioning. The team has been readied and can leave at any time. When Weng Li is arrested, we will go to Lin¡¯s house. ¡°


    This made Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu a little surprised. If they had the chance to go to Lin¡¯s house, it meant that they could find out Dong Qiulan¡¯s whereabouts. Qiu Haolin also obviously thought of this before taking up this task, otherwise, such a job would be complete overkill with his status as a lieutenant general.


    ¡°Thank you, brother.¡± Qiu Zhenyang grinned. As expected of his own brother, thinking of his own people in everything he did.


    Qiu Haolin got up and waved at him. ¡°Okay, you can go outside and wait. I¡¯ll go to the team to have a look first, so that everyone is ready to go.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± They stopped by the door to wait for Qiu Haolin¡¯s team.


    Thinking that Dong Qiulan¡¯s whereabouts could be investigated later, Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu¡¯s hand: ¡°What if your mother wants to go back with you?¡±


    Ling Mu raised his eyes and said, ¡°What ¡®go back¡¯? I have no home with her anymore. She¡¯s not my home, nor is she my future.¡±


    This was probably the last time he¡¯d pay attention to Dong Qiulan. She had already said that he was no longer his son, and him asking now was for peace of mind.


    Ling Mu just couldn¡¯t get past this hurdle in his heart, but his mind was still very clear. He is not a Virgin Mary. If Dong Qiulan insists on staying with the Lin family, he will not stop her. But if she wants him to fulfill his familial responsibilities, Ling Mu will agree for legal reasons, but only in terms of money, and there will be no other contact.


    Qiu Zhenyang hugged Ling Mu. Yes, they have a future that belongs to them.


    That recording scene feels odd (how did they place it there?), but that¡¯s what the raws said.

 CH 82

    After Qiu Haolin and the soldiers lined up at the door, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu also joined in and followed them into the aircraft.


    During the flight, Qiu Haolin talked on the phone with the team that was going to capture Weng Li, agreed on a time, and handled dispatch, to avoid giving them time to exchange news.


    This time, Qiu Haolin sent two soldiers to the gate of the Lin family villa in advance and showed the documents to the guards. This prevented them from informing anyone, making it convenient to drive the aircraft directly to Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s villa and save time.


    When the aircraft landed in front of Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s villa, all the soldiers swarmed up and surrounded the house.


    Qiu Haolin walked over and knocked on the door, and soon a servant came to open the door.


    The servant wanted to go first to inform the mistress, but Qiu Haolin pushed the door open. They had a warrant to arrest Weng Quan this time, and they didn¡¯t need to be as particular as last time.


    ¡°We now suspect that Weng Quan has something to do with a smuggling case, and we need to take her away for questioning.¡± Qiu Haolin explained his intentions bluntly, and at the same time signaled the soldiers behind him to go into the villa to find her.


    The frightened servant wanted to stop them, but was so shocked by Qiu Haolin¡¯s aura that he didn¡¯t dare to move.


    These warriors all came out of the battlefield, and had shed blood, not to mention Lieutenant General Qiu Haolin. Every time he does a task, he always looks so imposing, how can these servants face him?


    Not long after, Weng Quan, who was wearing casual clothes, was brought downstairs.


    She obviously hadn¡¯t realized that her whereabouts in the morning had been exposed, and looked at Qiu Haolin with a puzzled face. ¡°Lieutenant General Qiu, what kind of wind blew you over this time? If it¡¯s about my husband, then I¡¯m really sorry, I¡¯m just a housewife, I really don¡¯t know anything about my husband¡¯s affairs outside. I don¡¯t know anything even if you ask.¡±


    Qiu Haolin nodded: ¡°You¡¯re right, I don¡¯t understand. Of course, we won¡¯t ask any further questions. However, you should know something about Weng Li, right?¡±


    As soon as the name was uttered, Weng Quan¡¯s expression changed immediately, and her eyes began to look unnatural. She tried her best to maintain an indifferent attitude, and even pretended to be even more confused. ¡°How is my brother involved? Lieutenant General Qiu, I understand your anxiety now, but no matter how anxious you are, you can¡¯t wrong people.¡±


    Qiu Haolin didn¡¯t have the mood to explain, so he directly took out the video and recording and showed it.


    ¡°Then take a good look and see if we have wronged anyone.¡±


    When the video was released, Qiu Haolin took the opportunity to beckon Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu who were behind and asked them to find Dong Qiulan. The pair quickly entered while Weng Quan¡¯s attention was all on the video.


    Because Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu mentioned that Dong Qiulan was likely to be in the basement before, the two did not search other places. Ling Mu was familiar with the Lin family. He knew the approximate location of the basement entrance was in the back garden, so he took Qiu Zhenyang to search with him.


    The two walked in through the garden path. The back garden was huge and planted with many tall trees, which could easily make one confused and miss some places. It¡¯s easy to get lost if someone wasn¡¯t familiar with the grounds.


    Fortunately, Ling Mu had some impressions of this place. After some exploration, he finally found an entrance hidden behind the dense trees.


    ¡°Why did Lin Zhiyuan hide the basement? It¡¯s so mysterious, it looks like there is a ghost in his heart.¡± Qiu Zhenyang said in disgust, and took the universal card, that no more than 10 people in the interstellar had, that his brother gave him before and swiped the entrance of the basement.


    Thanks to Qiu Haolin¡¯s advance preparations, he and Ling Mu were able to enter the basement.


    Seeing that Ling Mu was about to walk ahead, Qiu Zhenyang immediately stopped him and stepped forward.


    The basement was dim, and the lamps hanging in the stairway were in disrepair and several were broken.


    Before taking a few more steps, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s brows furrowed, and began to resist going deeper. Inside is a stench of decay and rot, making one¡¯s hair rise.


    ¡°What kind of smell is this?¡± Obviously Ling Mu also smelled this strange smell. His face was a little ugly, and his heart thudded nervously.


    Qiu Zhenyang had an ominous premonition in his heart. He grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s hand and held it tightly in comfort. ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s easy for some mice to get in the basement, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    He took a deep breath and continued to walk further in. The steps quickly bottomed out.


    The lights here were very faint, so the pair turned on the flashlights in their terminals, and walked towards the basement together.


    The basement was a mess, with shards of ceramic crocks scattered all over the floor, along with the stench of rotting food and excrement, as well as some dark red liquid that had dried on the ground. The two held their breaths and continued to shine the light. Soon, a pair of pale calves wearing high heels soon appeared.


    ¡°¡­¡± Ling Mu was completely frightened, freezing on the spot. The wrist with the terminal fell down, and his face was pale.


    Qiu Zhenyang clenched his hand even more, and continued to take pictures there with his cheeks taut.


    The owner of those legs is Dong Qiulan.


    She was wearing the same skirt Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu saw when they visited, lying on the ground prone, without making a sound.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± Qiu Zhenyang turned around and hugged Ling Mu, then released his hand to prepare to go over. But the moment his hand was just released, Ling Mu held it back heavily.


    His voice trembled, but his tone was firm. ¡°I¡¯m with you.¡±


    ¡°¡­Okay.¡±


    The two walked over holding hands. Qiu Zhenyang crouched down, parted the hair on Dong Qiulan¡¯s face, and then put his index finger under her nose.


    After a few seconds, Qiu Zhenyang heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°She¡¯s still alive!¡±


    These four words made Ling Mu¡¯s whole body relax for a moment. He squatted down and touched Dong Qiulan¡¯s warm cheek with shaking hands, whispering, ¡°Mom? Wake up, Mom?¡±


    Ling Mu shouted a few times, but she didn¡¯t respond.


    Qiu Zhenyang immediately called his brother, explained the situation to him, and asked him to find two experienced soldiers to come down. Then he immediately called the nearest hospital and asked them to prepare to accept a patient. After all, he didn¡¯t understand Dong Qiulan¡¯s situation, and he didn¡¯t dare to approach her without authorization.


    After doing all this, he turned on the lights and looked over the basement. It seems that Dong Qiulan was locked up for a long time. Although some of the food on the ground was rotten, there is still fresh food, like it was just put in today. In addition, she should not have been allowed to go out, and had to solve basic human functions in this small and dark basement.


    As for the blood on the ground, most of it came from one of Dong Qiulan¡¯s arms. Her left arm seemed to be broken, and there were many knife cuts on her body. Although the cuts were not deep, they bled a lot and were prone to infection, leaving her body extremely weak.


    The soldiers sent by Qiu Haolin quickly approached them according to the positioning given by Qiu Zhenyang. Both soldiers had some medical experience. After seeing Dong Qiulan¡¯s situation, they immediately dealt with it on the spot.


    ¡°Is she going to be okay?¡± Ling Mu¡¯s lips turned pale, and asked Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they are doing first aid.¡± His words were comforting, but deep inside, he didn¡¯t know either.


    After a brief inspection, one of the soldiers picked up Dong Qiulan carefully, walked up the steps, and carried her out. The soldier said to Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu who followed behind: ¡°She is very weak, we could only deal with some external wounds, and the rest will have to wait until the hospital. But you can rest assured that there will be no danger to her life.¡±


    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang nodded, feeling a little relieved.


    Before carrying her up, the soldier covered her eyes with a layer of torn fabric from her clothes for fear of injuring her eyes because Dong Qiulan had not seen the light for a long time. After returning to the villar, he carried her directly to the aircraft. Because the situation was urgent, Qiu Zhenyang sent them to the hospital first, and told the aircraft to pick up Qiu Haolin later.


    Because they received a call from Qiu Zhenyang in advance, doctors and nurses at the hospital were already ready. When they saw them come over, they immediately moved Dong Qiulan to the hospital bed and pushed the person away.


    Qiu Zhenyang asked the two soldiers to follow the aircraft back, while he and Ling Mu went to the operating room to wait.


    Sitting on the cold chair, Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu into his arms, and his heart was mixed.


    No one thought that Dong Qiulan would end up in such a situation. She wanted to marry into a wealthy family and become a lady, but she was eventually locked in the basement, living a life that was worse than death every day, and suffered huge physical and mental damage.


    The wealthy family is indeed a place that many people yearn for, but how many people know the pain and sorrow of living in it?


    When he was on the road just now, Qiu Zhenyang took some pictures of Dong Qiulan¡¯s injuries, and he also recorded some pictures while waiting in the basement. These are all things that can be brought to court as evidence, and he will not let them go.


    Few Lin family members are innocent. Like father, like son, neither Lin Zhiyuan nor Lin Yuhan take human life seriously.


    Fortunately, most of the evidence has now been collected. Weng Quan and Weng Li were left to the military to interrogate, and there should be results soon.


    Looking down at Ling Mu who was leaning on him, Qiu Zhenyang touched his bloodless cheek. ¡°When your mother wakes up, I will arrange a place for her to live and find someone to take care of her for the rest of her life. If you want to see her, you can go. But if you don¡¯t want to see her, no one will think you¡¯re wrong.¡±


    As a mother, Dong Qiulan really failed.


    The final thing Ling Mu could do was drag her out of that living hell, but the relationship maintained by blood was finally broken at this moment.


    ¡°En, okay.¡± Ling Mu stretched his arms around Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s neck and buried his cheeks on his shoulders.


    Feeling the wetness gradually spreading on his shoulders, Qiu Zhenyang patted his back soothingly and sighed softly.


    I kept getting the chapter numbers wrong when posting this week¡¯s releases.

 CH 83

    While Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were waiting, Qiu Haolin had already escorted Weng Quan back to the barracks.


    At the same time, because it was a fact that Dong Qiulan was imprisoned and tortured, even Lin Zhiyuan was arrested and interrogated.


    After reporting the situation, the investigation department went to the hospital to learn about Dong Qiulan¡¯s situation, and obtained some information from Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu to prepare to interrogate Lin Zhiyuan. They can only conduct more in-depth questioning after she wakes up.


    Dong Qiulan was finally pushed out of the operating room in the afternoon.


    The two immediately got up, and. Qiu Zhenyang leaned over to the doctor and asked, ¡°Doctor, how is the situation?¡±


    ¡°She had too many wounds on her body, and many places were infected, so we had to remove some necrotic muscles in order to give treatment. If she can wake up within three days, there should be no serious problem, as long as she takes care of her body in the future.¡±


    Ling Mu followed the bed and watched the unconscious woman lying on it. Now she is quiet and silent, as gentle and quiet as when his father was still alive, unlike the domineering, willful woman she was. He couldn¡¯t even recall those dark years, the sharp nails pinched on his body, or the increasingly vicious curses in his ears.


    Humans are truly amazing creatures, and so is time.


    ¡°Let¡¯s arrange a separate ward for her. All the facilities should be the best. I¡¯ll go pay now.¡± Qiu Zhenyang told the doctors, and then patted Ling Mu¡¯s arm, ¡°Go to the ward first, I¡¯ll go and handle the fees.¡±


    Ling Mu nodded, watched Qiu Zhenyang leave, and followed the group to the ward.


    After Dong Qiulan was settled, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu had nothing more to do, and went back to school. There are investigators here watching Dong Qiulan waiting for her to wake up and question her. Qiu Zhenyang also contacted his mother to find a nurse to take care of her.


    It was already evening when he returned to school, and Ling Mu was still in a bad mood. To divert his attention, Qiu Zhenyang dragged him to the club classroom to play a few games.


    Recently, the two of them have never been online because of the Lin family¡¯s affairs. Logging on now, they suddenly felt the need to kill in all directions.


    ¡°You two are finally back. I¡¯ve been having the other members stream on Ling Mu¡¯s livestream the past few days. As a result, many people were calling for Ling Mu to come back to livestream instead.¡± Guan Tang formed a team with them and continued, ¡°Ling Mu has a lot of fans now, and many people clamored to meet offline, but they were all rejected by me.¡±


    Guan Tang has already started the livestream and transferred it to Ling Mu¡¯s game. The screen immediately became lively.


    Qiu Zhenyang pouted, and provocatively said on the voice channel: ¡°Meet offline? What are you thinking about? Ling Mu is mine, so what if you meet each other? It¡¯s not like you can have him!¡±


    The corners of Ling Mu¡¯s mouth twitched, but he didn¡¯t say anything.


    Since he became streaming, he¡¯s hardly opened his mouth or watched the contents of the barrage. He is completely a Buddhist anchor. Even the room itself and managing the audience were handled by Guan Tang.


    Hearing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arrogant words, the barrage exploded, and someone even threatened to beat him to the ground if they met him in the game!


    In short, the livestream room is still very hot, and the popularity is high.


    Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s previous attack on ¡°Machine Wars¡± did not have a serious impact, but instead gave it a wave of popularity, causing more people to pay attention. And now with Ling Mu at the head, many omegas began playing games. Because other games are not friendly to omegas, almost 80% of the omegas who love to play games are gathered in ¡°Machine Wars¡±.


    The development team of the game is also very clever, and has also created an online couple function, which attracted more and more players.


    Around 2 hours later, Qiu Zhenyang saw that it was getting late and went offline with Ling Mu.


    ¡°Zhenyang, Lin Yuhan¡¯s case will be held the day after tomorrow, right? If you need any help, just let us know.¡± Yuan Chenyu and Zhuo Hang also left the clubroom with them.


    As good brothers, they¡¯re also concerned about the case. It is a major case and many eyes are paying attention. There are also a lot of media and reports in the news about it.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled with a bit of regret: ¡°I¡¯d love to ask you guys for help, but unfortunately, our Qiu family is too good, and solved everything. We don¡¯t have any tasks for you.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu looked at him with a look of disgust. ¡°It¡¯s good to boast, but you¡¯re too much. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn¡¯t talk too much.¡±


    Zhuo Hang, who was beside him with a shoulder bag, mocked him mercilessly: ¡°You¡¯re too self-sufficient, don¡¯t you think? Well, if there is something that even the Qiu family can¡¯t solve, let alone you, even the two of us together may not be able to solve it!¡±


    Zhuo Hang is not exaggerating at all, after all, the Qiu family has the money and military power. They occupy the top of the pyramid in terms of military and financial resources. If there¡¯s something they can¡¯t handle, there¡¯s probably no one else that can handle it.


    ¡°Alright, alright, don¡¯t continue, let¡¯s go and watch on the day of the court session? It¡¯s an open court anyway, so let¡¯s take a leave of absence to join in the fun.¡± Yuan Chenyu was still very interested, and it would be a good experience either way.


    Zhuo Hang agreed with his point and nodded.


    After playing a few games, Ling Mu¡¯s mood finally improved. Listening to Zhuo Hang¡¯s conversation with Yuan Chenyu, he couldn¡¯t help but ask Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°Are we going to go to court the day after tomorrow?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go home first, my mother said they¡¯ll come with us.¡±


    His mother told him about this before. Grandfather also planned to come, and him, an honorary marshal, present, it can deter some people with bad minds.


    When they got to the fork in the road, they said goodbye and parted. Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu returned to the villa, both paralyzed on the sofa in the living room. Today¡¯s events were difficult to digest, and neither of them had fully had the time. Playing games is relaxing, but memory is not something that can be easily erased.


    Thinking back to the dark basement of the Lin family, Qiu Zhenyang still has lingering fears.


    He really couldn¡¯t figure it out, how could someone be so obsessed?


    If nothing else, Lin Zhiyuan had already driven her away once before, so couldn¡¯t Dong Qiulan be more mindful?


    It is ridiculous that Dong Qiulan wanted to marry into a wealthy family, but ended up like that. At first, Ling Mu disliked him in various ways, and kept trying to avoid him, but in the end he fell in love with him and became a wealthy future son-in-law.


    ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Ling Mu looked at the ceiling for a while. Seeing that Qiu Zhenyang was silent, he turned to look at him.


    Reaching out to hold Ling Mu¡¯s hand, five fingers flexibly intertwined with each other, Qiu Zhenyang sighed: ¡°I was thinking about whether to take you to bed tonight.¡±


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­Can¡¯t you think about something else?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang looked innocent: ¡°Most of the stuff in my mind is whether you are okay or not, but there is a difference. The serious things and the less serious things are very separate. It just so happens that right now it¡¯s time to think about something serious.¡±


    It was already dark outside, so he really couldn¡¯t blame him.


    Thinking that Qiu Zhenyang only took the initiative to accompany him to run east and west because of his nightmare, and he still dealt with a lot of things today when he was not in a good state, Ling Mu¡¯s heart softened a little.


    He bit his lip, and realized that he was too inactive. The two of them were clearly marked and should be more intimate.


    Recalling the sweet and sticky appearance with his mother all day long when his father was still alive, Ling Mu couldn¡¯t help but start to reflect on himself.


    With reflection, he naturally began to think of ways to make up for it.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s throat rolled up and down when he noticed the strong fragrance of sunflowers in the living room, and his eyes suddenly changed.


    ¡°Xiao Mumu¡­¡± The muscles in his body tightened involuntarily, his glands began to heat up, and he looked at the person next to him with fiery eyes.


    Ling Mu took a deep breath and suddenly got up and sat on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lap. His slender legs were spread apart, and although he was sitting on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lap, their eyes were exactly level.


    Such an active gesture made Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s breathing quicken, and his hands were almost immediately placed on Ling Mu¡¯s waist. This waist is thin, tough and powerful, which is one of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s favorite places, especially the two depressions in the back waist after taking off his clothes.


    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m not active?¡± Ling Mu licked his dry lips, his voice a little rough.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes stared straight at the tip of his tongue that flashed by, and his voice was hoarse: ¡°Uh, it¡¯s not, just a little bit¡­¡±


    These words are too careless, no one will believe them.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t ask any more questions, and directly showed his determination with his actions!


    He suddenly offered his soft lips, and even started to imitate Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s previous movements, licking and biting his thin lips. At the same time, Ling Mu¡¯s hands also began to patrol Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s upper body, struggling with the clothes unskillfully.


    Fortunately, Qiu Zhenyang was wearing loose clothes today, and they were easily lifted off. Ling Mu then continued to use his fingers to jump on the soft and visibly textured skin.


    Qiu Zhenyang was so happy that he would ascend to heaven! Xiao Mumu, who has always felt shy and embarrassed in terms of sex, has such a forward day!


    He hugged Ling Mu¡¯s waist tightly, kissed him hard on the sofa, and even wanted to lay him down on the sofa and let him do whatever he wanted!


    However, Ling Mu was not happy. He frowned and patted him on the chest to push him away, and even gave him a warning look. ¡°Don¡¯t move, I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Qiu Zhenyang clenched his teeth, he was a little worried that if he continued to take his sweet time, he would have a nosebleed!


    Stopping Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s continued harassment, Ling Mu slid down his thigh and crouched on the ground to get closer¡­


    The temperature in the living room continued to rise, accompanied by Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s unbearable panting.


    He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes, his throat rolled covered in sweat. This kind of thing is usually done by him for Ling Mu. Because he cared, Qiu Zhenyang never asked Ling Mu to do these things.


    Although Ling Mu didn¡¯t take the initiative because of his face, he actually wanted to do it. He likes Qiu Zhenyang and wants to give him more happiness. Taking advantage of the fact that his mind was a little unclear today, Ling Mu wanted to put into practice the ideas that he had thought about before but were quickly crushed and thrown into the back of his head.


    A long and sexy sigh came out of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth, he touched Ling Mu¡¯s head, got up and resisted him and walked upstairs.


    ¡°Xiao Mumu, today the king1reference to ancient China where an emperor visits his preferred queen/concubine for the night is here, don¡¯t plan on sleeping tonight~¡±


    The court trial chapters are pretty quick. Almost done this part of the plot.

    Qiu Zhenyang has always been an actionist. He said that Ling Mu would not be allowed to sleep at night, and he really did not give him a chance to sleep.


    When Ling Mu woke up the next day, it was already three o¡¯clock in the afternoon. He had Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s breath all over his body. Even though medicine had been applied, his body still hurt.


    Since he was uncomfortable, he simply lay on the bed and checked the news with the terminal.


    Tomorrow is the day when Lin Yuhan¡¯s case will be tried. News also came out this morning that Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s trial will be held at the same time.


    The military is extremely efficient, and Weng Li confessed in just one night. In fact, it was also because the timing of their arrest was too coincidental. After meeting with his sister, Weng Li went to deal with those who were a threat to Lin Zhiyuan. As a result, he was arrested before he had time to find them, and led the military to arrest them together.


    The sale of contraband is not widespread in Interstellar. Even if it was concealed, there are not many people who dare do contraband, so it was easy to follow the chain and identify the parties involved.


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu made a great contribution this time, and should be rewarded by the Federation this time.


    Ling Mu watched a round of these news reports, but there was no major fluctuation in his heart. He didn¡¯t think about becoming a hero, and this time he just made a contribution by mistake. Compared with this matter, he was more interested in the verdict of Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s trial.


    The door of the room was pushed open, and Qiu Zhenyang came in with his upper body naked. He wiped the sweat with the towel around his neck. Seeing that Ling Mu was awake, he asked, ¡°Are you okay?¡±


    Ling Mu kicked the quilt irritably, wanting to ignore him.


    Qiu Zhenyang chuckled lightly, this is the embarrassment.


    ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll go take a shower first.¡± He just came out of the gym, and was sweaty. A thin layer of sparkling droplets covered his smooth muscles, and every texture was sexy.


    It¡¯s a pity that the person in the room who had a chance to appreciate it didn¡¯t care at all.


    Qiu Zhenyang took a shower and put on his clothes as fast as he could. After coming out, he dug Ling Mu out of bed and took him to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.


    ¡°The food is in the incubator, do you want to go downstairs to eat or I¡¯ll bring it up?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s legs trembled from even standing, and had to be completely supported by Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arms around his waist at the sink just now. He stuffed the electric toothbrush in his mouth, held it in one hand and moved it mechanically, making a small ¡®en¡¯ sound.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll serve it later, do you want to eat fruit?¡±


    ¡°En.¡±


    ¡°Okay, then I won¡¯t take it.¡±


    After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Qiu Zhenyang carried the person to bed, and then went downstairs to get the food.


    Ling Mu lay on the bed, rubbing his weak legs. He really didn¡¯t understand why that guy was still so energetic? After a ridiculous night, he still has the energy to exercise. Is his body made of iron?


    ¡°Iron lump¡± Qiu Zhenyang came in from the door with the food in his hand. Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s resentful eyes, he couldn¡¯t help smiling: ¡°What¡¯s the matter, looking at me with this kind of eyes.¡±


    ¡°What do you think?¡± Ling Mu stared at him. This guy has the gall to ask why!


    After putting the plate down, Qiu Zhenyang handed Ling Mu the bowl and chopsticks, and said in surrender, ¡°Okay, okay, my fault, it¡¯s all my fault. Who made you take the initiative last night; I couldn¡¯t control it at all. By the way, where did you learn this, Xiao Mumu, it¡¯s like being possessed by a fairy, it almost caused my nose to bleed.¡±


    ¡°You are a goddamn fairy¡­¡± Ling Mu felt some strength recover a little with the warm meal in his mouth. He was used to eating Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s food now, and even had the illusion that food was supposed to taste this way.


    Perhaps, he really can¡¯t leave this person in this life.


    While Ling Mu was eating, Qiu Zhenyang moved a chair and sat behind him, his hands circled around the back of the chair, and lightly rubbed Ling Mu¡¯s sore waist.


    ¡°Have a good rest today, and I¡¯ll take you home tomorrow morning. The court session is at 1 pm, and we won¡¯t be able to go there tonight.¡± Qiu Zhenyang gave him a massage while talking about tomorrow¡¯s arrangements.


    Ling Mu drank the soup with a spoon and rolled his eyes involuntarily. He didn¡¯t have time or energy for what he wanted to do today, right?


    In order to let Ling Mu eat more at night, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t serve too much food, just let him fill his stomach a little.


    After eating, Qiu Zhenyang washed the tableware and chopsticks and went to study. Ling Mu was really lacking in energy, so he simply went to play games. Anyway, the game cabin is connected to his consciousness, and he can¡¯t feel the soreness in his body.


    He is now considered a celebrity in ¡°Machine Wars¡±, and many people have added him as a friend. Seeing Ling Mu online, they rushed to invite him to play together. Normally, Ling Mu would only join those in the club, but seeing none of them online, he accepted a random netizen¡¯s invitation.


    ¡°Ling Mu?¡± The man didn¡¯t seem to think that the other party would accept. He was stunned for a while, and his voice was a little surprised, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to come in. Didn¡¯t you say that you basically don¡¯t accept invitations from others?¡±


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t want to explain, so he just said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The man was also very knowledgeable, and started the game directly.


    ¡°You choose the marshal, I can play any role.¡± After entering the role selection screen, the man behaved very friendly, and told their companions that Ling Mu¡¯s skills were very good, and not to worry about giving him the marshal.


    Ling Mu was not polite, and chose the role of Marshal directly.


    Since the explosion of ¡°Machine Wars¡±, many players were not familiar with the character selection at the beginning, and even disliked this way of grabbing roles based on hand speed. But later, everyone gradually understood that focusing on teamwork and choosing the most suitable position for you, and sometimes even making way for a partner who is stronger than yourself, is the real secret to winning.


    Just like a real interstellar war, only by fulfilling your own responsibilities and obeying the command of the marshal seriously can you streamline operations and achieve success with the least sacrifice.


    Therefore, although there are people in the team who wanted to be the marshal, but after listening to that person¡¯s words, they chose the other roles.


    ¡°By the way, are you a freshman? I¡¯m a junior, my surname is Wang, and I¡¯m considered your senior.¡± The man was quite friendly, and talked to Ling Mu almost non-stop.


    ¡°Oh.¡± Ling Mu responded indifferently. He now regrets accepting this person¡¯s invitation and would rather play alone.


    It was probably because Ling Mu didn¡¯t want to chat much, that Senior Wang stopped talking. After the game started, Ling Mu began to command the battle. After leaving the guards to protect the mothership, he took his adjutant to detour from the other side.


    Ling Mu¡¯s learning ability is very strong. Basically, he has memorized all the tricks Qiu Zhenyang used when he followed him as an adjutant. Qiu Zhenyang also intended to train him, letting Ling Mu choose the marshal, and him the adjutant, allowing Ling Mu to gradually apply those skills.


    Because he doesn¡¯t like to fight for a long time, Ling Mu has always been quick to fight, and this time is the same. With his command and deployment, everyone quickly attacked the local assault soldiers and scouts, and then attacked the local mothership in one fell swoop.


    After the game ended, Senior Wang excitedly praised Ling Mu: ¡°You are too good! That kind of play is really exciting, I thought it would be discovered by the opponent¡¯s scouts, but they were actually distracted. You¡¯re amazing!¡±


    This senior is very enthusiastic about ¡°Machine Wars¡±, and although he watched Ling Mu¡¯s livestreams before, teaming up was way more exciting than just watching!


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Ling Mu was still cold and indifferent. Seeing that Senior Wang was still blowing rainbow farts, he said impatiently, ¡°Are you still playing? If not, I¡¯ll leave first.¡±


    ¡°Play play play!¡± As if fearing Ling Mu would run away, Senior Wang hurriedly started the next game.


    After five rounds in a row, Senior Wang was still a little unfulfilled, but Ling Mu was ready to go offline. It was already seven o¡¯clock now, and Qiu Zhenyang said that the dinner should be no later than seven o¡¯clock.


    ¡°No more.¡± Ling Mu refused concisely and directly.


    Although Senior Wang regretted not being able to play a few more games, he still smiled. ¡°Okay, you¡¯ve worked hard today. Can I invite you to play games with you next time?¡±


    Although Ling Mu doesn¡¯t like grouping with people he doesn¡¯t know, this person¡¯s operation and awareness are very good. Even if they become opponents, Ling Mu is quite satisfied finding someone on the same level.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    The simple words made Senior Wang cheer happily. After Ling Mu left, he still couldn¡¯t calm down.


    Although only six games were played, Senior Wang has saved the video of each game, ready to watch these videos a few more times after going offline.


    After leaving the game cabin, Ling Mu found that the lights in the room were on. Thinking about it, Qiu Zhenyang must have come in and turned on the light for him.


    He opened the door to go out, and before he went downstairs, he smelled a strong aroma of food, which made his pace involuntarily quicken a lot.


    In the kitchen, Qiu Zhenyang was wearing an apron and testing the taste of the soup. Ling Mu leaned over, raised his chin, and wanted to taste it.


    Qiu Zhenyang handed over the spoon a little, Ling Mu took a sip, his eyes lit up, and nodded with satisfaction. ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±


    ¡°Then help me take out the other dishes and tableware, dinner will be ready soon.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled. Kissing his cheek, he took a large bowl and scooped the soup into it.


    After dinner, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went out for a walk.


    The two of them felt like an old couple now. This way of getting along made them feel very comfortable, especially Ling Mu, who had longed for an ordinary family life. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s love and care made him indulge in it.


    When he was about to go back after the walk, Qiu Zhenyang saw a vending machine on the side of the road and bought a few lollipops for Ling Mu on a whim.


    Looking at the lollipop lying in the palm of his hand, Ling Mu¡¯s mouth twitched: ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a child?¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, who said that the one who eats candy is a child?¡± Qiu Zhenyang pinched his face with a wide open smile. ¡°I bought you candy because I like you, idiot!¡±


    Ling Mu was stunned for a moment, then his ears turned red, and he lowered his head and peeled off the candy wrapper.


    He was about to stuff the lollipop into his mouth, but after thinking about it, he stopped, raised his hand and shoved it into Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth.


    Ignoring the other party¡¯s playful eyes, Ling Mu peeled another lollipop and put it in his mouth.


    En, it¡¯s sweet.


    Cannon fodder Wang appears. Flag raised!

    The next day, the two got up early, washed and changed their clothes and rushed to the school gate.


    The housekeeper was standing beside the aircraft waiting for the two little masters to come home. When he saw them, he immediately greeted them with a smile: ¡°Second Young Master, Young Master Ling Mu, Madam has already prepared breakfast at home, and is waiting for your return.¡±


    ¡°Thank you Uncle Zhang, thank you for your hard work.¡± Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu onto the aircraft, and the two sat down next to each other.


    On the way back, Ling Mu found that Uncle Zhang was looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, and he always had a look on his face¡­ and smiled?


    Ling Mu endured and endured, and was too embarrassed to ask, so he could only hold his head down and pretend to sleep.


    Seeing him close his eyes, Qiu Zhenyang thought he didn¡¯t have a good rest last night, so he reached out and embraced him from behind, put his head on his shoulder, and supported him to sleep.


    The smile on Uncle Zhang¡¯s face deepened. Fortunately, Ling Mu closed his eyes and didn¡¯t see it, otherwise he would not be at ease.


    Originally, he pretended to sleep just to relieve the embarrassment, but because the environment was too quiet and Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s shoulders were very comfortable, Ling Mu actually fell asleep. Although he slept well last night, probably because his body hadn¡¯t recovered yet, he was so tired and slept soundly even with Qiu Zhenyang insisting on hugging him to sleep.


    It was only after the aircraft stopped to the ground that the slight vibrations woke Ling Mu up.


    The housekeeper got off the aircraft first, followed by Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu.


    Zhu Qin was waiting in the yard. When she saw the two of them coming, she went up to them with a smile. ¡°If you guys came earlier, maybe you would still see Ling Dang. She knew that you would be back today, and was talking about it all last night, even going to bed late.¡±


    Hearing Ling Dang¡¯s name, Ling Mu¡¯s smile grew. The younger sister has been by his side since childhood, and the two have hardly ever separated. He also missed his younger sister when they separated some time ago.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯ll see when she comes back at night, don¡¯t worry.¡± They didn¡¯t plan to go back today. They¡¯re already here anyway, and it¡¯s not too late to go to school tomorrow.


    Zhu Qin was even happier at his words. Stepping forward, she grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s hand, and said excitedly: ¡°Come in, I specially got up early in the morning and made some breakfast for you. I usually don¡¯t cook, Ling Mu help me test my craftsmanship!¡±


    ¡°Mom¡¯s cooking must be delicious.¡± Ling Mu said quite earnestly, with a sincere expression and no false flattery.


    Zhu Qin was stunned for a moment, and was amused by his appearance. ¡°Hahaha, you are such a cute child!¡±


    Seeing his mother pulling his daughter-in-law into the door, but leaving himself aside, Qiu Zhenyang pouted and followed in. Instead of eating vinegar, he felt that it was very good. The care and love that Ling Mu lacked from his family could be slowly made up with his family.


    Since the court session was at 1 pm, everyone was in no hurry.


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu tasted the breakfast made by their mother and unexpectedly found that it tasted good. Zhu Qin never entered the kitchen before at all. Even if she was curious about Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s cooking, she would only stand at the door of the kitchen and watch, sometimes even with a look of disgust.


    Eating the glutinous rice cakes, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help but ask his mother, ¡°Mom, why do you suddenly want to cook? Once or twice is enough. If you cook it every day, wouldn¡¯t our chef be out of a job?¡±


    Zhu Qin shoved another bun into Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth. ¡°Isn¡¯t it your father who said other people¡¯s daughter-in-law cooks for their husband, why don¡¯tI know anything¡­ How can I not! Obviously, I am also a top student who graduated from Interstellar Academy, and have been involved in both pharmacy and economics. Even if someone else can cook a meal, can there be someone better than my son?¡±


    Speaking of this, Zhu Qin proudly gave Qiu Zhenyang a thumbs up.


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help smiling: ¡°Yes, yes, I have inherited my mother¡¯s genes to cook delicious food. You are just too lazy to cook, not because of poor craftsmanship.¡±


    On the other hand, Ling Mu also nodded in cooperation.


    Zhu Qin was delighted to be coaxed, and her face turned radiant.


    After eating, Zhu Qin showed them the information Qiu Haolin gave her last night. All the materials were printed out, detailing the findings of Weng Li¡¯s interrogation, and even some pictures were attached.


    The two looked at it carefully, and read through the confessions from Weng Quan.


    Probably because the entire group was arrested, Weng Quan and Weng Li were disheartened and felt that they had nowhere to turn.


    ¡°Lin Zhiyuan looks decent, but I didn¡¯t expect to do so many disgusting things.¡± Qiu Zhenyang frowned as he looked through it. Money and power have always made it easy to deceive people.


    Especially like Lin Zhiyuan, he is the most ambitious of the three brothers who could inherit the Lin family. The funds given by his father were not enough to support him to develop his grand career, so he took a step on the risky road of crime. He could have spent it peacefully, but in order to sit on his father¡¯s seat, he stretched out his claws and went to a dark place.


    Ling Mu¡¯s face twisted, and put down the information. He really didn¡¯t want to continue reading the crimes that Lin Zhiyuan had done.


    He is just an ordinary person, even if he is with the unordinary Qiu Zhenyang now, the life the other party gives him is still the same as usual.


    Because of the influence of the older generations, the Qiu family is very open to many things, and because of this, they have been able to go on in the military field. Of course, in the generation of Qiu Zhang, the originally low-key Legion family attracted much attention due to Zhu Qin¡¯s family¡¯s strong economic strength, which is one of the reasons why their Qiu family is famous.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to read, just stroll around at home. We¡¯ll finish our lunch early and go to the court together.¡± Qiu Zhenyang saw Ling Mu¡¯s resistance and suggested thoughtfully.


    Ling Mu was about to raise his head to say something, when suddenly he met Zhu Qin¡¯s meaningful eyes.


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­¡±


    This look was very similar to Uncle Zhang¡¯s look at him when he picked them up. Ling Mu¡¯s whole body stiffened, he didn¡¯t know what went wrong.


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t see Ling Mu¡¯s answer, and when he looked over, he noticed his mother¡¯s strange eyes, and asked with a bewildered expression, ¡°Mom, what are you looking at?¡±


    Zhu Qin turned around, pretended to cough twice, and winked at Qiu Zhenyang. ¡°You, ah, didn¡¯t you realize that Ling Mu¡¯s body is full of your pheromones? It¡¯s understandable that you¡¯re young and energetic, but remember to stick a pheromone sticker for him when you go out!¡±


    At this mention, Qiu Zhenyang was instantly stunned and slapped his head sharply. ¡°Sh*t, I forgot!¡±


    He was at home basically all day yesterday, and because Ling Mu was carrying his own pheromones, It was very familiar to Qiu Zhenyang, so he forgot about it. As a person not from this world, he¡¯s not very sensitive to pheromones, and sometimes he is very slow, so it is no wonder that this kind of error occurs.


    Ling Mu¡¯s face also blushed instantly, and he got up and went upstairs to the room that Zhu Qin prepared for him. He remembered that there was still a pheromone sticker inside, and it could be used now.


    No wonder the classmates who passed by when they went out for a walk skirted around. Ling Mu thought it was just a coincidence. Who knew this was the reason!


    After going back to the room, Ling Mu immediately used the pheromone sticker. Qiu Zhenyang also followed, closed the door and took the things in Ling Mu¡¯s hand, walked behind him and said, ¡°I¡¯ll help you post, you can¡¯t see it yourself.¡±


    After carefully sticking the pheromone on the gland, Qiu Zhenyang poked Ling Mu¡¯s back embarrassedly. ¡°I will remember next time, I was wrong, Xiao Mumu!¡±


    He always had a smile on his face, seemingly enthusiastic but indifferent, and only when facing Ling Mu could he not help but act like a spoiled child. The point is, this guy is handsome, and it¡¯s really useful to act like a spoiled brat when he admits his mistakes!


    At least Ling Mu was angry now, but when he saw that he was wrong, he couldn¡¯t get angry.


    ¡°No next time.¡± Ling Mu gave him a warning glance, and the latter nodded again and again.


    The two were tired and crooked in the room for a while. Because Ling Mu had just lost face, he didn¡¯t want to go down to face Zhu Qin, so Qiu Zhenyang simply stayed in the room with him.


    When lunch was ready, Uncle Zhang came up to tell them, and the two of them went down together.


    After lunch, the group of three took the aircraft to the Interstellar Supreme Court.


    Originally, Lin Yuhan¡¯s case was not tried in the Supreme Court, but because Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s case was revealed, the smuggling case has become the biggest focus now, so Lin Yuhan was also transferred over.


    When they got off the aircraft in front of the court gate, the three people were surrounded by a swarm of reporters.


    Fortunately, Zhu Qin had the foresight to contact Qiu Haolin in advance to pick them up. Therefore, before the reporters blocked them, they were surrounded by soldiers brought by Qiu Haolin, and had no way to break through the layers of defense of the soldiers to harass Qiu Zhenyang and them.


    There were already many people sitting in the seats by the time they entered the courtroom.


    In Lin Yuhan¡¯s case, Qiu Zhenyang was the plaintiff, so he calmly walked to the plaintiff¡¯s seat and sat down. Ling Mu sat with him, and Zhu Qin sat in the audience.


    They waited in their seats, and soon, Lin Yuhan walked in through the side door in shackles.


    After not meeting for a long time, Lin Yuhan looked too thin to be human. As soon as he entered the door, he stared at Qiu Zhenyang with eyes full of resentment and hatred, which made people feel a chill down their backs.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled lightly, with sarcasm in his eyes and hidden anger. ¡°Long time no see, Lin Yuhan, you look more like a lunatic now.¡±


    The end of the Lin family is nigh! (Forgot about the intervening things¡­ welp)


    Want faster releases for AAPCFO? Get faster updates by buying a ko-fi~ Progress towards add¡¯l releases, and to see other ongoing projects, are tracked on my ko-fi page.

 CH 86

    As soon as the two met, they were at each other¡¯s throats, and the whole atmosphere became tense.


    Qiu Zhenyang rarely exposes such negative emotions, but Lin Yuhan really disgusted him, and he didn¡¯t want to suppress his disgust and hatred.


    The Lin family really isn¡¯t a good thing.


    ¡°Oh, I should have drowned that girl in the first place, and sent the body directly to you, so that you would not have to go to my house and struggle.¡± Lin Yuhan was still stubborn in the face of impending death, trying to anger Qiu Zhenyang with words.


    But his method couldn¡¯t arouse Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s inner turmoil at all, he just held down Ling Mu who was beside him with an angry face, and looked at Lin Yuhan with a sneer. ¡°There¡¯s no struggle, after all, it was thanks to that time that we were able to get hold of you, together with the rest of your family.¡±


    Now that Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s family is in danger, Lin Yuhan¡¯s words can¡¯t make much of a difference.


    The judge and other members also arrived, and the court session began.


    Although Lin Yuhan has a lawyer sent by the Lin family, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s side has ironclad evidence, including both people and material evidence. Basically, after his side presented everything, the opponent¡¯s lawyer had no defense at all.


    If it¡¯s just intentional harm, the lawyer can refute it, but there¡¯s no way to refute the use of contraband.


    Lin Yuhan looked at the hesitating lawyer, and suddenly slammed his clenched fists on the table, shouting at him with bloodshot eyes: ¡±Are you still a f*cking lawyer? The Lin family paid you to come here to play? Damn it. If you can¡¯t let out a single fart, sooner or later your company will go bankrupt!¡±


    The sudden violence startled many people, and even the judge turned black and immediately reprimanded: ¡°Don¡¯t say anything unrelated to the case, first warning!¡±


    ¡°Tch.¡± Lin Yuhan snorted disdainfully, folded his hands on his chest, turned his head aside, and stopped talking.


    Although the pale-faced lawyer said a few words due to Lin Yuhan¡¯s threat, given the evidence and case against him, he still failed to win anything for Lin Yuhan.


    The final verdict was finalized on the spot. Lin Yuhan was convicted of various crimes, imprisoned in Interstellar Prison for ten years, exiled to Desolate Star after ten years, and will never return to Capital Star.


    After the judge got up and left, Qiu Zhenyang sat in his seat and grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s hand tightly.


    ¡°Although this punishment came a little late, the result is still quite good.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was relieved after solving the cancer named Lin Yuhan. He had endured for too long before, almost thinking he had become a Buddhist as he hoarded evidence but couldn¡¯t make a move.


    Regardless of the Lin family¡¯s desires, Lin Yuhan has no way to revive. Let alone now that Mr. Lin has completely abandoned Lin Zhiyuan, and Lin Zhiyuan and Weng Quan are also unable to protect themselves.


    Lin Yuhan, who was in handcuffs, was carried by two soldiers, without the slightest trace of pride, contempt, or arrogance in his eyes. He is no longer the eldest young master, just a prisoner who is about to be put in prison.


    ¡°Qiu Zhenyang, you have to die!¡± The few words leaked from between his teeth, his facial muscles trembling with hatred. Before the trial, he already knew that his parents had been arrested, and now there is no one else in their family who can help him except Lin Nuo, who can¡¯t do anything. In fact, up to now, Lin Yuhan was even a little obsessed with thinking that he was right.


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help smiling: ¡°If scolding people makes you more comfortable, then go ahead. After all, you have ten years to spend in prison. It must be very uncomfortable, right?¡±


    Interstellar Prison is not just an ordinary prison. It is where the criminals who committed unforgivable crimes stay. Basically, they are all murderers who¡¯ve done much evil. If someone like Lin Yuhan who is still a student enters, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around.


    Ling Mu just glanced at him with contempt, and didn¡¯t even bother to say a word to him.


    The audience began to chat in low voices as Lin Yuhan yelled and was escorted away by the soldiers.


    Qiu Zhenyang handed Ling Mu a bottle of water, and the two retreated from the plaintiff¡¯s seat and moved back to sit with Zhu Qin, waiting for Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s case which would be tried half an hour later.


    Half an hour later, Lin Zhiyuan was brought up, and Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin had also arrived.


    With Weng Quan and Weng Li¡¯s confession, and the seizure of all members and equipment involved,  Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s criminal evidence is more conclusive, and the court almost did not give him an opportunity to defend himself. Punishment was more or less decided on the spot.


    Lin Zhiyuan, immediate execution.


    The moment the verdict came out, there was an uproar in the entire audience.


    Although most people guessed this result, it was a surprise to hear it. After all, Lin Zhiyuan is also a celebrity in the news. He appears frequently in various social occasions, and a rich name to the public. Hearing such a wealthy person being sentenced to death immediately is quite shocking.


    Seeing the result, Qiu Zhenyang was not interested in staying any longer, and asked his mother, ¡°Mom, dad and brother will go back later, should we wait for them?¡±


    Zhu Qin straightened his hair, shook his head and said: ¡± They also have to conduct a more in-depth investigation of Lin Zhiyuan¡¯s incident, in case there are still fish that slipped through the net. They should be very busy these days and won¡¯t come back.¡±


    Hearing this, Qiu Zhenyang could only stand up, raised his hand from a distance to greet Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin, and then left with Zhu Qin and Ling Mu.


    Since it was still early, the group of three went directly to Ling Dang¡¯s school to pick her up from school. Ling Mu has not seen his sister for a long time, and couldn¡¯t wait. Although he stared at the scenery outside the window, he was actually thinking of Ling Dang.


    When they finally arrived at the school gate, there were already droves of parents waiting to pick up their children. Before, Zhu Qin came down to pick up Ling Dang. Today, in order to surprise Ling Dang, she didn¡¯t go down. Only Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu got off the aircraft to wait.


    The pair immediately stood out amongst the group of middle-aged people because of their age. Some parents couldn¡¯t even help asking them, ¡°You look so young, you have children at such a young age? Having kids at such an age must be tough?¡±


    Given how the two of them held hands ¨C occasionally the taller one would lower his head and listen ¨C the two looked so in love that it inevitably made people think that they already had children.


    At the question, Ling Mu hurriedly explained: ¡°No, no, I¡¯m picking up my sister!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, ¡°Well, we¡¯re just here to pick up his sister, but it won¡¯t be soon until we get married. Maybe there will be a child soon~¡±


    Several parents who were a little closer laughed meaningfully, while Ling Mu blushed in embarrassment, and squeezed the soft flesh on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s waist angrily. ¡°What are you talking about! This is Ling Dang¡¯s school, don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang curled his lips, pretending to be wronged. ¡°How can this be nonsense, it¡¯s obviously the truth.¡±


    Many parents were interested in the two of them. Their gossiping hearts were ablaze, pestering them with questions, such as how long they¡¯ve known each other, to how they fell in love. Ling Mu was about to be annoyed to death, but he couldn¡¯t refuse directly, so he could only hide behind Qiu Zhenyang without saying a word. Qiu Zhenyang is very handy, treating everyone with a smile, and won the favor of many parents.


    Seeing that teachers began to lead the kids outside, Ling Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly grabbed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand and went to find Ling Dang.


    Ling Dang, who had been talking about her brother all day today, was always very excited. Thinking that she would see her brother when she got home, she almost ran to the school gate. As a result, the moment she saw Ling Mu and Qiu Zhenyang, the little girl beamed in surprise, rushing past the teacher and towards Ling Mu.


    ¡°Brother!¡±


    Ling Mu squatted down to catch his younger sister, and hugged her hard.


    The little girl has gained a lot of weight in Qiu¡¯s house. She used to be skinny, but later, was fed by Qiu Zhenyang and now at Qiu¡¯s house, Zhu Qin has used many tricks to get her to eat. Not to mention some fruit snacks and the like, as long as Ling Dang likes it, Zhu Qin will buy a bunch of them and store them at home, so the little girl now has a double chin.


    ¡°You¡¯re getting fat.¡± Ling Mu squeezed his sister¡¯s arm and spat out this sentence mercilessly.


    Behind him, Qiu Zhenyang burst out laughing, and patted Ling Mu on the shoulder helplessly. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go, don¡¯t stand in the door of the school. There are other parents who want to pick up their children.¡±


    He went to talk to the teacher who ran over to check the situation. The responsible teacher was shocked when he saw Ling Dang, who had always been well-behaved, suddenly run away. Seeing Ling Mu, he was relieved and said goodbye to Ling Dang.


    Ling Mu hugged Ling Dang and got into the aircraft intimately. The two sat together, and Ling Dang happily chatted to her brother about the interesting things that recently happened. On the side, Qiu Zhenyang could only watch and sigh with sadness and jealousy.


    Zhu Qin glanced at her son¡¯s unpromising appearance, and snorted. ¡°Jealous of even his sister? I think you are already clingy enough at school, you can¡¯t even give them some time?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at her resentfully. ¡°Mom, are you putting your depression on me because dad can¡¯t go home tonight? But even if you say I¡¯m useless, dad and brother still have business to do.¡±


    Zhu Qin¡¯s face darkened. She raised his hand and gave Qiu Zhenyang a slap. ¡°Stinky boy, it¡¯s your turn to talk about your parents? Stay jealous!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was beaten mercilessly by his mother, sighed. He could only bow his head and go surf the Internet.


    After solving the big troubles in his heart, he and Ling Mu will no longer have to worry about these bad things. The school league is just over half a month away, and they can fully devote themselves to it. Qiu Zhenyang previously sent the rules of the competition to the heads of each school, enabling schools to determine the teams they plan on sending to the competition.


    As for the Interstellar Academy, more and more people want to join the ¡°Machine Wars¡± club recently. Because there was too much interest, Qiu Zhenyang simply set a threshold. As long as someone can defeat anyone other than the vice president and manager, they can join the club.


    In this way, some talented members can be screened and enter, and it can also give the members more training.


    Now there are nearly 50 members in the club. After three days, Qiu Zhenyang will personally review them. There is a one-fifth probability of becoming a regular member who¡¯ll participate in the final competition.


    Sending good news to the members, Qiu Zhenyang listened to the chatter between Ling Dang and Ling Mu, and closed his eyes with a slight smile.


    Yes, the court trial is that quick. Can¡¯t say anything about the pacing¡­ ??

 CH 87

    After returning to Qiu¡¯s house, Ling Dang continued sticking to Ling Mu¡¯s side. She was reluctant to leave since her brother is going back to school tomorrow.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s resentment almost materialized. After facing Ling Mu¡¯s glare the moment he tried to interrupt the conversation between the brothers and sisters, he could only resign himself to the kitchen to make dinner and divert his attention.


    After eating and taking a walk, Ling Dang went back to her room to sleep, and Qiu Zhenyang had a chance to stick with Ling Mu.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t talk to me tonight.¡± After squeezing into Ling Mu¡¯s room, Qiu Zhenyang complained aggrievedly like a little wife.


    Folding his arms, Ling Mu looked at him speechlessly, and raised his eyebrows. ¡°I spoke.¡±


    ¡°Every time I talk to you, it¡¯s this kind of ¡®ah¡¯, ¡®oh¡¯, ¡®mm¡¯! Is this an answer? You are obviously being perfunctory!¡± Gritting his teeth, Qiu Zhenyang approached, staring down at Ling Mu¡¯s chestnut-colored eyes, like a lion about to bite, but his aura was very mild.


    Throat rolling, Ling Mu pretended to be calm: ¡°Who told you to keep changing the subject, didn¡¯t you see Ling Dang chatting with me?¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s been talking to you since she came home from school, isn¡¯t her mouth tired? I¡¯m just giving her some time to rest. A child will become a talker after talking too much!¡± Qiu Zhenyang said angrily, cupping Ling Mu¡¯s face with both hands, tenderly rubbing his cheeks.


    Ling Mu glanced at him. ¡°Childish.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m childish. Anyway, now you belong to me!¡± Qiu Zhenyang opened his arms wide and  pressed the person into his arms, his nose buried into Ling Mu¡¯s neck. ¡°I can¡¯t leave you more and more, you have to take responsibility. Even if you are with Ling Dang, pay attention to me!¡±


    Ling Mu sighed, and raised his arms to wrap around the broad back. ¡°Who knew that you still have such a side?¡±


    The person who was hugged snorted twice. ¡°This means you don¡¯t care about me enough, you should take me to heart, look at me hundreds of times every day, and keep talking to me, no matter where you go, you have to take me with you¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words became more and more outrageous, making Ling Mu smile. It seems that after being with Qiu Zhenyang, he¡¯s smiled a lot more. In the past, he didn¡¯t feel anything even if it was a joke that everyone would find funny, but now he can¡¯t help curling his lips due to someone¡¯s silly words. It¡¯s a wonderful feeling.


    Thinking about it, Ling Mu couldn¡¯t help patting Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s back helplessly. ¡°Don¡¯t you think you are the talker now?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my talking. I¡¯m talking for my wife to listen to. If Ling Dang has the ability, let her find her own husband¡­¡± As Qiu Zhenyang spoke, he moved his footsteps to push Ling Mu towards the bed as he babbled.


    Ling Mu wasn¡¯t aware and scolded Qiu Zhenyang for saying these things. Ling Dang was still young.  As he was talking, he was gently pushed back and fell directly onto the soft bed.


    Ling Mu was stunned, and instantly understood Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s intention.


    ¡°Damn, Qiu Zhenyang, can¡¯t you rest for a day?¡± He struggled hard, but was caught by Qiu Zhenyang and tickled. For a while, he couldn¡¯t breathe, and tears were forced out. Ever since he found out that Ling Mu was extremely ticklish, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help teasing him, scratching him a few times from time to time, and then being punched a few times in retaliation.


    ¡°I let you a rest yesterday. You ignored me for too long today, so I have to ask for some interest!¡± Qiu Zhenyang bit Ling Mu¡¯s collarbone. His teeth rubbed lightly, making the latter¡¯s body tremble.


    The tickles are really irritating, Ling Mu¡¯s face turned red from laughing, but he still couldn¡¯t grasp Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hands that were scratching around. He could only stare at him with tears in his eyes and threatened: ¡°Hahaha¡­you, you let go. Other, otherwise, next week haha, next week¡¯s share is canceled!¡±


    This threat was obviously quite useful, and Qiu Zhenyang immediately stopped.


    Ling Mu lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling blankly, panting. Qiu Zhenyang pushed up his clothes, buried his head and kissed his skin, but his movements were not excessive. On the contrary, the gentle, tender kiss made Ling Mu, who had regained his strength, feel a little sleepy, and his eyes were half-closed and his eyelashes were stirred very slowly.


    ¡°How is my mother?¡± Ling Mu suddenly asked in the silence.


    Qiu Zhenyang kissed once more heavily, then turned over to lie down next to Ling Mu. Stretching out his arm to pillow Ling Mu¡¯s head, he looked at the ceiling and said, ¡°The doctor said it¡¯s fine. My mother sent a nurse over there to take care of her. She will be discharged in about a week. I looked at a few houses in the suburbs nearby. You can take a look tomorrow. If you think it¡¯s ok, I will arrange for her to move there.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Ling Mu closed his eyes and leaned on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s side. ¡°I won¡¯t take Ling Dang to see her again in the future. As children, our fate with her is over.¡±


    These words sounded cold and hard, but only those who have really experienced it could hear the helplessness and relief in his tone.


    Qiu Zhenyang clearly supported Ling Mu¡¯s decision. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she won¡¯t bother us again.¡±


    With the power of the Qiu family, isn¡¯t it easy to watch someone? Besides, Dong Qiulan, who almost starved to death in the basement after the Lin family incident, should not do such stupid things again. If she is still obsessed, then no one will save her anymore, let her go to hell.


    Ling Mu rubbed against Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arms and fell asleep quickly.


    After a long time, remembering that the two of them hadn¡¯t showered today, Qiu Zhenyang gently carried him to the bathroom. After moving his hands up and down on the person in his arms, he came out contentedly holding his steaming lover, slowly delivered him to the bed and covered the quilt. Finally, he lay down, hugged Ling Mu, and fell asleep.


    The next morning, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu sent Ling Dang to the school first, and then returned to the Interstellar Academy.


    Because it happened to be Saturday, the two went to the club classroom to see the results of everyone¡¯s recent practice.


    It¡¯s just that the two of them just walked to the door of the classroom when they heard a noise coming from inside. The two looked at each other, walked in together, and were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them.


    ¡°Come, come, buy and bet! Buy team A to bet here, and team B¡¯s bet here. Don¡¯t get it wrong, you can¡¯t change it after you bet!¡± A large group formed around the two tables Yuan Chenyu pulled together, betting on which team would win.


    Their bets are not big, only a few dollars here and there, but their faces are full of excitement.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth twitched when he saw it, this is a f*cking game club! Did you turn this into a ¡°gambling¡± club?


    ¡°What are you doing!¡± He took a few steps forward and pushed the person away, dragged Yuan Chenyu out directly, and said through gritted teeth, ¡°Are you a pig? Do you think my reputation is too good, so you¡¯re going to smear me a little?¡±


    When they saw Qiu Zhenyang, a large group of people immediately stood up and shouted, ¡°Hello, President!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t release his anger: ¡°Hello my ass!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu fiddled with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand that was pulling his back collar and patted his shoulder. ¡°This is your fault, brother, I¡¯m doing this for the sake of the club!¡±


    ¡°Fat chance!¡±


    ¡°Tsk tsk, listen to me first!¡± Yuan Chenyu¡¯s face didn¡¯t change, and said reasonably, ¡°Isn¡¯t this our club recruiting new members? We have a lot of new members, and everyone wants to learn from each other. But there are only so many game cabins in the classroom, which is not enough for everyone. If you think about it, people can only play a wave and then swap, and watch and analyze with the rest of the club.¡±


    What he said was reasonable, Qiu Zhenyang was speechless for a while, and he didn¡¯t pursue it any further.


    Anyway, it¡¯s just a few bucks to have fun, which is not too much.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s forget it today. Regarding the game cabins, I have already ordered 50 units, which is definitely enough for everyone to share. Remember to practice well.¡± Qiu Zhenyang very arrogantly ordered them. There will be new members joining later, so he bought more than 10 extra. Anyway, the club classroom is also very large, and there is more than enough space.


    Hearing that everyone will have a game cabin tomorrow, everyone burst out in cheers.


    Ling Mu entered the game cabin in the corner, feeling that it would be a good thing to have more members. At the very least, it was quite lively.


    Ling Mu, who has never actively participated in livestreaming, connected to the livestream channel at this time. The main reason why he is so self-conscious is that his previous livestream income has been credited!


    Since beginning, his total time has only reached ten or so hours, but his total income reached an astonishing 160,000! Most of the rewards are from the netizens watching his livestream. Such a generous income made Ling Mu unable to recover for a long time after the money arrived.


    Distantly, he seemed to recall Qiu Zhenyang telling him that livestreaming and games would become his money-making tools, and now he has done it!


    So for the sake of his wallet and Ling Dang¡¯s future, Ling Mu started to livestream quite consciously, and even read the barrage for the first time and chatted with the audience.


    [Wow, the anchor hasn¡¯t streamed for a long time!]


    [King Gugu, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen such a Buddhist anchor¡­]


    [The anchor shouldn¡¯t lack money.]


    Ling Mu had just finished choosing his role, glanced at the barrage and said, ¡°Some time ago, I didn¡¯t have time to livestream, and I was short of money.¡±


    [Ah ah! The streamer spoke for the first time!]


    [Upstairs, you said it as if people never was like that¡­ However, shock +1!]


    [Wow wow wow, this is the first time I saw the anchor interact with us. It¡¯s worth it, the stars are shining!]


    Seeing the large starlight that suddenly lit up on the livestream interface, Ling Mu was stunned for a while, then glanced at the income column. There was a direct increase of one thousand federal coins.


    Ling Mu: ¡°¡­¡±


    He never knew that making money was so easy¡­


    Ling Mu continued to interact with the audience while playing games. His skills are excellent, so even if he has a bad team, he can easily deal with the situation without major problems. At the same time, because the ¡°No Mic¡± anchor suddenly turned on the mic, more people poured into the room after learning about it.


    After Qiu Zhenyang discussed some things with Zhuo Hang, he saw Ling Mu in the game cabin and turned on the livestream to prepare. As a result, he saw that Ling Mu not only began streaming, but also began interacting with the audience.


    Looking at the large amount of gifts floating on the screen, Zhuo Hang was wowed. ¡°It¡¯s awesome, Ling Mu is really popular. Look at these gifts, tsk tsk tsk, the speed of making money is amazing.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang frowned, staring at the bunch of comments in the barrage saying they wanted to chase Ling Mu, feeling like crying without tears.


    What should I do if my wife is too popular? Waiting online, I¡¯m in a hurry!


    Self-inflicted, QZY. Your suffering is self-inflicted.

 CH 88

    T/N: Thank you usageK, for supporting an extra chapter of AAPCFO this week!


    When he came out of the game cabin after finishing the game, Ling Mu met Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s already disheartened eyes.


    Ling Mu glanced at him in astonishment, picked up a bottle of water from the table next to him, and twisted the cap open. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was so angry for a while, he couldn¡¯t speak. Zhuo Hang was having trouble holding back his laughter, and walked over to Ling Mu with trembling shoulders. ¡°Why did you turn on the mic? Didn¡¯t you say before that you didn¡¯t want to do it because it was troublesome? Why are you still talking to those people now? Even communicating¡­¡±


    Ling Mu poured a sip of water into his mouth, and raised his brows. ¡°Is there anything strange about this? It¡¯s just a few words, and someone will give me gifts when I talk. I prefer to see money than make trouble.¡±


    This answer is very straightforward, after all, who doesn¡¯t like money? Besides, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s purpose from the very beginning was to give Ling Mu a stage, and his own source of income, so that he could gain confidence. Therefore, the current outcome should be what he wanted to see.


    But he didn¡¯t expect that so many people would show love to Ling Mu!


    Isn¡¯t their aesthetics the kind of omega that is soft, weak, charming, and cute? How did their aesthetics twist just by watching Ling Mu play a few games?


    Qiu Zhenyang angrily snatched the water from Ling Mu¡¯s hand, poured a large mouthful into his mouth, and rubbed the corner of his mouth fiercely. ¡°If I knew that there would be so many people who would like and want to associate with you, I would definitely find another way instead of letting you livestream! How can their aesthetics change so fast? There are so many omegas waiting for them to like, why are they staring at you? A bunch of scumbags!¡±


    Zhuo Hang, who was still laughing hard, came over, and patted Qiu Zhenyang on the shoulder sympathetically. ¡°That¡¯s because most of the people who watch livestreams go for the game. Most omegas will drag them down, and the real game fanatics have already resisted omegas. Now that there is an omega with powerful skills, even surpassing them, how can they not pay more attention?¡±


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang gnash his teeth, Zhuo Hang reluctantly added: ¡°Besides, Ling Mu is not bad-looking. Even if he¡¯s not in-line with most alpha¡¯s aesthetics, many people like him. You still need to spend more time taking care of your wife. You won¡¯t have time to cry if someone better than you suddenly abducts your wife!¡±


    After Zhuo Hang said this, Qiu Zhenyang immediately felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He suddenly took Ling Mu into his arms, as if holding a treasure, and said to Zhuo Hang fiercely: ¡°Bah, don¡¯t think about it, Ling Mu will always be mine!¡±


    Disdainfully looking at him, Zhuo Hang shook his head and walked away.


    Ling Mu was silently hugged by Qiu Zhenyang, stretched out his hand and pushed him, but the person was still muttering: ¡°In the future, you have to strictly control the time of the livestream, and can¡¯t chat with those people all the time. If they confess to you, you will simply reject them and ignore them!¡±


    Ling Mu rolled his eyes, but nodded cooperatively, and then took advantage of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s slack moment of relief to push him away. Glaring, he said: ¡°You should pay attention to the occasion.¡±


    Although most of the members were persuaded to leave, there were still people playing games. Ling Mu didn¡¯t want them to come out and see him being hugged tightly by Qiu Zhenyang. So embarrassing!


    Thinking that there is no need for them to stay longer, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went back to the villa. Anyway, there are game cabins in their rooms, so there is no need to occupy other people¡¯s spots.


    After returning to the villa, the two returned to their respective rooms to play. However, this time Ling Mu did not stream, and just practiced with Qiu Zhenyang.


    After Ling Mu went online, he suddenly received a private message from the senior who invited him last time.


    [Can we fight together?]


    He obviously wanted to be on their team.


    However¡­ Ling Mu thought about it for a while, and refused.


    Although it¡¯s just a game, given how jealous Qiu Zhenyang was before, it¡¯s better not to stimulate him any more. Even if Ling Mu didn¡¯t take these people to heart, since Qiu Zhenyang cared, he wouldn¡¯t do it. In a relationship, a pair can only get along if both parties trust each other and compromise from time to time.


    Probably because he lacked love growing up, Ling Mu is very concerned about these aspects.


    Although he never said it, he also had the same strong possessiveness towards Qiu Zhenyang.


    After joining the same room, the two of them began to play. Sometimes they would open a large room and invite members of the club to split into two teams to play. Everyone was working hard to become regular players.


    This continued until Tuesday afternoon, when Qiu Zhenyang started the selection in his club after classes.


    Yuan Chenyu, who has been immersed in the game ¡°Machine Wars¡± since its release, was full of confidence. He patted his chest to Qiu Zhenyang reassuringly.¡±Don¡¯t worry, I can definitely be a regular team member with my skills. You don¡¯t know how hard I¡¯ve practiced these days. Just the video of you and Ling Mu playing, I have watched it no less than seven or eight times!¡±


    Zhuo Hang, who came over, and sneered contemptuously. ¡°You are too embarrassed to say that you stayed in the game cabin for too long that your parents couldn¡¯t find you, and called me directly. I had to go to your dormitory to find you, but you weren¡¯t there. I went to the club again, you were still not there, and finally someone said you were in someone else¡¯s dormitory and blackmailed them? Next time it happens again, I¡¯ll take your game cabin and let you play with air!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu slapped Zhuo Hang¡¯s shoulder with a smirk. ¡°Aii~ Thanks brother, I know you are the best, I will never do it next time!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang speechlessly retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Ling Mu, and then said to the members in the classroom, ¡°Now, let¡¯s all enter the game. I will randomly assign you to teams. Please use your various abilities to show us your level. Ling Mu and I will also be selected together with everyone, so if you have the skills, there will be no place for me and Ling Mu in the ten-person team. After all, this is for the victory of all of us! As long as you are strong enough, nothing matters!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was very proud, but he did not say that he and Ling Mu would directly become team regulars, but used the same method to select with everyone.


    Yuan Chenyu gave Qiu Zhenyang a thumbs up, and his eyes were full of praise.


    Everyone was divided into teams once they started and had 3 chances to fight against one another in different teams. Being a team regular doesn¡¯t matter on winning or losing, but on their reaction ability and fighting skills. As long as they perform well and show their strengths, even if they lose 3 times, one can also become a member of the official team.


    After some fierce competition, at nine o¡¯clock in the evening, the team selection finally came to an end.


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu¡¯s fighting performance was very good. No one would question their status as regular players. As for the remaining eight players, after reviewing Zhuo Hang and Guan Tang¡¯s records, as well as everyone¡¯s impressions from the battle, Qiu Zhenyang already had some names in his heart.


    He did not announce the result immediately, but told everyone:


    ¡°I will review the videos after I go back in the evening, and will notify everyone by email tomorrow afternoon. Those who are not selected as the official team members, don¡¯t be discouraged, because everyone¡¯s performance is very good. If you are not selected now, it does not mean that you will not mean you won¡¯t have a chance in the future. Before the official competition starts, everyone still has a chance. As for those selected, don¡¯t relax too much. If you fail during the next training match and are overtaken, you will be demoted.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words made the faces of all members solemn. They all wanted to become regular team members! After all, this school league is the first official competition in the history of the entire Federation, and everyone wants to make a name for themselves and leave their own mark.


    ¡°So, there¡¯s still half a month left. Everyone must train hard.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang said at the end, and waved his hands to let everyone move freely. Some members left first, while others stayed here and entered the game cabin for training.


    Seeing that it was getting late, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu returned to the dormitory. They hadn¡¯t had dinner yet because they were focused on watching the matches, so their stomachs were nearly concave from hunger by the time they returned.


    Qiu Zhenyang made something casually, while Ling Mu took out some fruit in the refrigerator and squeezed juice. Then, the two simply settled down for dinner.


    Because of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s insistence, Ling Mu still slept with him at night.


    Fortunately, this person is quite credible. After saying that he will not move, he will really just hug and rest. Ling Mu was very relieved.


    ¡°Have you thought about where you want to get married?¡± Qiu Zhenyang suddenly asked just when Ling Mu was about to fall asleep.


    Ling Mu blinked his eyes in a daze, and moved his head resting on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arm. ¡°No, whatever works.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang laughed and said meanly, ¡°It seems that you have already decided to marry me. No regrets?¡±


    Ling Mu angrily threw the arm down the back of his head which landed on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s handsome face. ¡°So annoying, how many times do you want to ask?¡±


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Qiu Zhenyang thought about it, grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s hand and pressed it on his lips for a kiss. ¡°Then¡­ what kind of proposal do you prefer? Do you like a scene that is beautiful and romantic, or want me to find someplace to kneel down on one knee and propose to you?¡±


    After class and the club events today, Ling Mu was already exhausted. Closing his eyes, he pulled his hands back, stuffed his head into the quilt, and a muffled voice came out: ¡°Whatever¡­¡±


    He hadn¡¯t thought about it at all, so he couldn¡¯t answer.


    Or to put it this way, he didn¡¯t even think that he would be with alpha before. After all, his appearance is not pleasing to most alphas. Coupled with his family situation, Ling Mu almost didn¡¯t have much longing and desire for marriage and love. He only wanted to make money to raise his younger sister. Then, after seeing his younger sister marry a good man, he would die alone¡­


    So he didn¡¯t think much about the question Qiu Zhenyang asked.


    ¡°Well, when I propose, you can¡¯t refuse, okay?¡± Qiu Zhenyang raised his head to look at Ling Mu¡¯s face, but the other party was already snoring and fell asleep.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled helplessly, and then helped him cover the quilt, before falling asleep happily with his wife in his arms.


    Nearing the final stretch.


    There are 4 extras, but I have yet to find a link to the raws. If anyone has a link to the unlocked extras, or the raw text, I¡¯ll happily translate it. Otherwise, chapter 96 will be the last chapter.

    Since the official team members were confirmed, everyone¡¯s training has been even harder.


    Because Qiu Zhenyang said that even those who were screened out can continue to challenge for a spot, so whether they were selected or not selected, everyone had a great sense of crisis, and could only continue training.


    At the same time, the crazy training environment roused Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu¡¯s fighting spirit even more.


    Time flew by in the intense training, and it was the school league soon. It was planned during a small holiday which would reduce the logistic pressures and make it so other members could have time to watch.


    Three days before the start of the school league, they registered their club and team roster. In the end, three of the originally selected members were replaced. Although the members who were replaced weren¡¯t happy, they were also convinced of their loss.


    After all, they are a team, and team victory is the final goal!


    In the last three days, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s grandmother also sent a few of her right-hand people to manage the room and board of other colleges when they came to the Interstellar Academy for the competition. As experienced people, they easily made arrangements for the participating teams.


    Qiu Zhenyang also won the exclusive broadcasting rights for his game. This school league will only be broadcast on the livestream platform of the First Consortium, which will attract a large number of viewers to the platform!


    The night before the start of the school league, all those who were about to participate in the game fell asleep with a mix of nervousness and excitement.


    Tomorrow, they will usher in their stage!


    At nine o¡¯clock in the morning the next day, everyone gathered in the competition hall.


    The competition hall is a place specially used by the Interstellar Academy to hold various competitions, and is able to accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. For the competition, ¡°Machine Wars¡± officially provided 1,500 brand-new game cabins, spent a lot of money to install anti-cheating and monitoring systems, and sent more than a dozen technicians to the scene to deal with any potential problems that might arise.


    Various media across Capital Star also flocked to the venue, all wanting to watch first-hand.


    After the various school teams arrived and sat down, the principal stepped onto the stage slowly, and everyone under the stage gradually quieted down.


    The principal clapped the microphone and smiled after hearing it on the speakers. ¡°First of all, we would like to express our warmest welcome to all the friends who have come from afar!¡±


    Everyone applauded and the principal nodded with satisfaction. ¡°Secondly, for this school league, I myself have huge expectations. Although I don¡¯t usually play games as an old man, seeing you young people¡¯s enthusiasm makes me feel excited. At the same time, I also understand how important this school league is for everyone here who loves games. Therefore, I will not waste everyone¡¯s time, and simply read the rules and requirements again.¡±


    In fact, the regulations had been sent to the leading teacher of each team two days ago, but to be on the safe side, the principal read it again for everyone.


    ¡°Yesterday, I inconvenienced the teachers leading the team to accompany us and draw numbers. We will shuffle these numbers to randomly match teams. The winning team will advance directly, and the losing team will enter the second knockout round and play again. If a teams loses again, they will be directly elimited.¡±


    The big screen behind the principal showed 120 teams, which were then randomly shuffled. After three seconds, everyone¡¯s first round opponents appeared onscreen.


    ¡°The teachers and students of this school are pretty good, but who knows how they are in terms of games.¡± Zhuo Hang did a lot of research in advance for this competition, and mastered a lot of information about the participating teams. As soon as he saw the opponents they matched, he immediately flipped through his recent notes and told everyone about their basic situation.


    Yuan Chenyu patted him on the shoulder, grinned and said, ¡°Not bad, knowing all this. It seems that you have done a lot of homework!¡±


    Zhuo Hang put away the notebook in his hand and raised his eyebrows: ¡°Of course, when you¡¯re all training frantically, I can¡¯t do nothing, right? Even if I know the basic information of these schools, I can only provide you with some basic information. But things can always happen in the game. This is just for reference; you can only rely on yourself when things happen.¡±


    Guan Tang, who had been clenching his fists nervously, also raised his hand: ¡°There is also me! This information also has my share of credit! Ling Mu, there are many schools which are hard to check, so I also asked my parents to help!¡±


    Ling Mu nodded in respect, ¡°You did a good job.¡±


    Guan Tang immediately smiled, his cheeks flushed, and he couldn¡¯t be more happy.


    Qiu Zhenyang looked at them with a smile, knowing that everyone was doing their best for the club. ¡°It¡¯s enough, anyway, everyone¡¯s training time is so short. We won¡¯t find much else even with more investigation. You can rest assured and watch us win.¡±


    Everyone in the club responded in succession, obviously full of confidence.


    The first round of the competition was about to start, so Qiu Zhenyang led his team to the game cabin in the competition area. The first round is played at the same time in different areas, and there are corresponding referees to inspect and record the results.


    The moment before entering the game cabin, Qiu Zhenyang also asked Ling Mu, ¡°How is it, are you nervous for your first game?¡±


    Ling Mu was obviously much calmer than he had imagined. Before entering the game cabin, he replied to Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°I¡¯m good, you¡¯re here, not nervous.¡±


    Hearing this, Qiu Zhenyang was instantly overjoyed, and a wanton smile spread across his face. He happily entered the game cabin.


    Qiu Zhenyang and his time were the quickest to finish the match. They withdrew from the game cabins nearly 30 minutes later. The referee recorded the results of the game, and then checked everyone¡¯s game cabin again before reporting the results to the principal.


    Interstellar Academy, win.


    At this moment, Qiu Zhenyang had brought his team back to his rest area, and met the principle¡¯s gaze sensibly. The latter gave him a thumbs up with an admiring smile on his face. Qiu Zhenyang slightly raised his lips and returned a ¡°it¡¯s nothing¡± look.


    When they came out, the other teams¡¯ matches had almost reached the white-hot stage, and were especially fierce. On the big screen, 60 matches were streamed, and they stared at the screen.


    They don¡¯t know each other¡¯s strengths, and now is the best opportunity to observe and learn the other schools¡¯ abilities and fighting patterns.


    Soon, Qiu Zhenyang discovered several teams with great potential. Although they didn¡¯t win as fast as Qiu Zhenyang, they are already in the process of finishing, and they will soon approach the enemy mothership.


    After waiting for more than half an hour, the competitions of each group ended one after another, and the results were reported and summarized.


    After the first knockout round was over, the principal announced the teams that had advanced to the competition and the teams that had entered the knockout rounds. The teams entering the knockout rounds will start the game at 2 pm today, while the players in the qualifying round can rest for an afternoon to prepare for tomorrow¡¯s game.


    Because the game was broadcast live, almost all interstellar game-loving players went to watch.


    In fact, because Qiu Zhenyang doesn¡¯t know the competition system very well. The competition rules aren¡¯t very strict, but it¡¯s enough for a school tournament. The rest can wait until the e-sports competition has passed review, and then let the professionals make detailed rules.


    During an afternoon break, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went straight back to the dormitory to avoid the crowds. There were many people due to the competition who also took the opportunity to visit the campus.


    It was almost time for dinner, Qiu Zhenyang first cooked some dishes, simmered them in the pot, and then sat on the sofa and half-laid down with Ling Mu to relax.


    Qiu Zhenyang originally thought that just one game would not affect him too much, but he overestimated himself. Although it was only the first game, he was so nervous that he even had to take a deep breath to calm himself before entering the game cabin.


    Thinking about it now, although he behaved quite normally during the game, there were many times when his brain suddenly went blank and he didn¡¯t know what to do. Fortunately, Ling Mu was his adjutant and reminded Qiu Zhenyang from time to time, which kept his condition from getting worse.


    ¡°You were a little nervous in today¡¯s game.¡± Even Ling Mu saw it, opened and closed his resting eyes, and looked at him brightly.


    Qiu Zhenyang was a little helpless: ¡°This is probably due to the competition? I was fine before, was never nervous, but my whole body suddenly became stiff, and my heart beat faster before entering the game cabin. I¡¯m also very confused.¡±


    In Ling Mu¡¯s view, it¡¯s normal for Qiu Zhenyang, who has always been strong and confident, to have such a small problem. He even comforted him, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m a little nervous too. It¡¯s normal.¡±


    ¡°Are you nervous? Didn¡¯t see it at all.¡±


    Don¡¯t talk about being nervous, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t see any emotions on Ling Mu¡¯s face at all. He looked the same as if he was going for a meal!


    Ling Mu shrugged noncommittally, he really didn¡¯t feel anything. After all, this was his favorite mecha battle, and his skills had reached a high-enough standard. He only wanted to win, and had no worries.


    In fact, he is in the best state, able to move forward without any scruples, and work hard towards his goal.


    ¡°Huh, don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t affect the game.¡± It¡¯s just nervousness, it¡¯s not a big problem, how many people can be nervous during the game? Besides, he might not be nervous about the competition at all, but¡­


    Pursing his lower lip, Qiu Zhenyang opened his terminal and secretly sent a message.


    [Is everything ready?]


    But a moment later, the other party replied: [Everything¡¯s ready!]


    The corners of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lips twitched, and he felt his heart beating a little faster.


    From the looks of it, it was something else that really made him nervous.


    After closing the terminal, Qiu Zhenyang coughed lightly, got up and walked to the kitchen. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s pack up and eat. Take a nap in the afternoon and then get up to watch the matches. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we win a hundred battles¡­¡±


    Self-inflicted, QZY. Your suffering is self-inflicted.

 CH 90

    In the afternoon, because they received a notice from Qiu Zhenyang, all the official team members went to the competition hall to watch the second round knockouts.


    Speaking of which, among the teams that advanced directly in the morning, less than a third of them came to watch the knockout rounds. Most of the rest chose to continue training instead of watching the underdogs compete. After all, in their opinion, instead of watching these losers, it is better to go online and watch the morning replay.


    Some members of the team also asked this question, but they did so out of curiosity not to question the captain¡¯s decision. After all, almost everyone in the club worshipped Qiu Zhenyang, and no one had any disapproval of his decisions.


    Although Ling Mu watched the game seriously, he also devoted a little energy to listening to what Qiu Zhenyang had to say.


    ¡°Because the game in the afternoon will be much more exciting than in the morning,¡± Qiu Zhenyang said with a serious face, his eyes staring at the big screen with hidden sharpness. ¡°When the competition system was formulated, it was rather sloppy. Since this is the first round, there¡¯s nothing to reference and everyone played freely. Many losing teams may not be weak, but were just in the opponent¡¯s way.¡±


    He raised his hand and pointed to a rival team on the big screen. ¡°Do you see that team? I dare say that their combat strategies and mecha control skills are very good, but in the morning they happened to encounter a pair of teams that were not very strong, but their offensive strategy was relatively unexpected, so they lost. And now, you guys look again, the opposite side is completely being pressed and beaten by them.¡±


    Whether it was Yuan Chenyu, Zhuo Hang, or the other team members, even Ling Mu, their eyes were all focused on the pair of teams that Qiu Zhenyang was referring to.


    What shocked them was that the strength shown by the pair of teams was really impressive. It could even be said that even if their team met, they would not have much of an upperhand.


    What made everyone even more horrified was that Qiu Zhenyang actually finished watching the replay video before the afternoon and understood how these teams fought?


    The more shocking thing was yet to come. Ling Mu looked at Qiu Zhenyang with a complicated expression and asked, ¡°You were taking a nap at noon, when did you watch the game?¡±


    Everyone stared at their captain.


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help smiling. ¡°I watched it this morning. We were the first to finish, right? At that time, I was watching the situation of each battlefield and analyzed it a little.¡±


    On the side, Zhuo Hang and Guan Tang felt a little embarrassed. They researched for several days, and they only got some useless information. As a result, Qiu Zhenyang just watched other teams play for a short time and knew who was good? What kind of fairy is this?


    In fact, this matter is not difficult for Qiu Zhenyang, who has 3S level mental power. His attention is concentrated enough, and his memory is outstanding. Coupled with his analytical mind, he can quickly analyze and remember the situation of each team.


    It can even be said that he already knows the top ten in this school league.


    But of course Qiu Zhenyang wouldn¡¯t just say this to everyone casually.


    After Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s explanation, everyone calmed down and watched the game on the field quietly, and at the same time digested their own captain¡¯s arrogant behavior. Good looks, good family background, good grades, even with such strong memory and analytical skills, how can ordinary people like them live? Wuwuwu¡­


    The only person present who did not feel envious and jealous was probably Ling Mu. He licked his lower lip and turned to look at the screen.


    Anyway, no matter how good this person is, he belongs to him. He has no worries that someone will take him away. After all, since the beginning of school, Ling Mu has seen too many scenes of people showing love to Qiu Zhenyang. He has resisted, escaped, and been annoyed, but in the end Qiu Zhenyang will defeat the angry beast in him and make him reveal his underbelly.


    It was Qiu Zhenyang who made Ling Mu learn to trust and rely on others. He also knew that Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s jealousy was an expression of love for him, and he would not doubt him.


    Probably the most comfortable thing in love is this state.


    After the game in the afternoon, a total of 90 teams were shortlisted for the second round tomorrow.


    After watching the after knockout matches, everyone felt something in their hearts. Qiu Zhenyang let them do their own activities, but the team members all rushed to the club classroom. Anyway, it¡¯s still early, they can train for a while. After watching the game, everyone was inspired to varying degrees and eagerly wanted to apply their insights.


    As for Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, they went back to their dormitory to practice.


    At 9:00 a.m. the next day, the second round officially started.


    With yesterday¡¯s inspiration, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s team cooperated extremely well, both offensive and defensive. They were very strong, and they didn¡¯t give the opponent a chance at all.


    Today is already the second day of the competition. After eliminating a group of people, the remaining teams should be better, but this time Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s team ended the game in 25 minutes. The audience watching and the reporters present were all stunned.


    Their team¡¯s livestream exploded.


    [As expected of Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, ending the battle so soon!]


    [Ling Mu is so handsome! It is rare for him to choose an assault soldier. Every time he chooses to harvest the enemy, he looks so handsome!]


    [The level of their team is undoubtedly the best, right?]


    Although Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s team was strong, after coming out of the competition area, they didn¡¯t feel much joy. Instead, they all followed the captain and sat in the waiting area to watch other teams¡¯ games, treating it as a learning experience. After all, even their strong captain is watching, how can they have the face to start to be complacent just because of one victory>


    Their team¡¯s actions were naturally seen by the livestream audience. Some netizens said they were pretentious, but others said they were cautious enough. But none of the voices outside affected them; watching the game is the most important thing now.


    Among these teams, Qiu Zhenyang paid the most attention to the team he pointed out yesterday.


    They are improving very fast, have their own set of play styles, and can adjust during the game according to the situation on the field. Qiu Zhenyang even put on the earphones distributed on the spot, and specially listened to how the marshal commanded.


    When it was determined that the marshal was indeed constantly adjusting to achieve the best offense, Qiu Zhenyang also developed a strong curiosity about this person.


    ¡°Guan Tang, what about the notes you made before? Show me.¡±


    Guan Tang, who was keeping his eyes wide open and trying to get a glimpse of the game, heard Qiu Zhenyang call him, and immediately handed over the materials at hand, with some embarrassment: ¡°In fact, there are only their schools and personal information here. There is really no investigation on the game¡­¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I just want to see this.¡± Qiu Zhenyang looked down, looking for what he wanted.


    Soon, he saw the introduction of the team members of that school.


    Their captain is Wang Xiaowei, a junior. He has participated in other game clubs in their school. After ¡°Machine Wars¡± came out, he quit the club and started a new game club.


    While Qiu Zhenyang was looking at the materials, Ling Mu took the time to lean over and glanced, and then turned back with no interest.


    After the morning game was over, there were discussions about the knockout rounds in the afternoon. There are three knockout rounds in total. After tomorrow, the fourth day will be direct eliminations. There will be no more knockout rounds to help losing teams advance. By then, the competition will be even more intense.


    At noon, Qiu Zhenyang went back to have a meal with Ling Mu and took a nap. In the afternoon, the team members followed along to observe. In fact, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t tell them to come over, but everyone already realized the benefits and didn¡¯t want to miss an opportunity. When everyone arrived, they also saw Qiu Zhenyang.


    What made Qiu Zhenyang more concerned was that the group of people he saw this morning also came, and their waiting areas were quite close to each other.


    He didn¡¯t pay much attention earlier. Although he thought their team was good, it wasn¡¯t enough to evoke a sense of crisis.


    But soon, Qiu Zhenyang felt a sense of crisis for another reason.


    Because¡­their captain, the one named Wang Xiaowei, looked at Ling Mu in a daze without blinking! With Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s experience of being confessed by many people after he crossed over, he can be sure that that person looked at Ling Mu with admiration in his eyes! Damn, openly coveting his wife, this guy doesn¡¯t want to live!


    Although Ling Mu, who was sitting beside him, didn¡¯t notice it at all, Qiu Zhenyang still felt angry and stood up. Ling Mu raised his head to see that Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face didn¡¯t look very well.


    Watching Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu go to the waiting area of ??the other teams, the players looked at each other and didn¡¯t know what was going on. Yuan Chenyu, the middle schooler, waved his hand and said indignantly, ¡°Zhenyang is looking for trouble. Us brothers can¡¯t be left behind, hurry up and follow!¡±


    The team members who thought they might fight fiercely followed to hear their captain grit his teeth and say: ¡°Why are you looking at my wife? Didn¡¯t you see me sitting next to him? Even if he looks good, he¡¯s not someone you can watch. If I see you looking at him with those eyes again, I¡¯ll beat you up!¡±


    The team members: ¡°¡­¡± ¡­he¡¯s angry because his wife was coveted by others.


    It was Guan Tang who reacted first, waved his small fist and said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll beat you to believe it or not!¡±


    Wang Xiaowei couldn¡¯t help laughing for a while, got up a little embarrassedly and said to Qiu Zhenyang, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, I didn¡¯t mean it, I just¡­ I played games with Classmate Ling Mu before, and I admired him a lot, so I couldn¡¯t help but watch for a while.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s forehead was bulging with blue veins. What do you mean ¡®watch for a while¡¯? I¡¯ve been counting the time, you¡¯ve watched him for more than three minutes, bro!


    Ling Mu frowned, and looked at Wang Xiaowei up and down with indifference. ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Wang Xiaowei¡¯s expression was a little frustrated, but he still smiled and said, ¡°My name is Wang Xiaowei, I¡¯m a third-year student, and the senior Wang who invited you in the game before.¡±


    Ling Mu recalled for a while, a little impressed.


    He let out an ¡°oh¡± and tugged at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand expressionlessly. ¡°Let¡¯s go, continue to watch the game.¡±


    He doesn¡¯t lose anything if others watch, so let him do what he wants. Anyway, Ling Mu has received many malicious glances before, it doesn¡¯t matter.


    Seeing that Ling Mu¡¯s reaction was not fierce, Qiu Zhenyang felt much better. He was about to leave mercifully, but Wang Xiaowei stepped forward and directly grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s arm that was holding Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s hand, and said affectionately. ¡°Brother Ling Mu, I really thank you for playing games with me before, can we be friends?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face darkened, his cheeks tightened, and he scolded in his heart: ¡°Bullsh*t!¡±


    Womp, womp. The ¡®Wang¡¯ guy appears!

    After returning to the waiting area, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face never got better.


    Yuan Chenyu was laughing so hard behind him that he nearly burst into tears. He pulled Zhuo Hang¡¯s arm to his ear and winked. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Qiu Zhenyang would have this day? Don¡¯t know how many suitors and admirers this guy had before. Thankfully, Ling Mu is not the kind of person to make a fuss and doesn¡¯t pay attention to those people. But now someone shows affection to Ling Mu, and that kid explodes, hahahaha! Did you see his expression just now? I really regret not taking pictures!¡±


    Zhuo Hang glanced at Yuan Chenyu with disgust. ¡°Why can¡¯t you change your gossiping personality?¡±


    Yuan Chenyu raised his eyebrows and hummed. ¡°Gossip is the joy of life, you don¡¯t understand the fun of eating melons, right? Che~¡±


    Seeing this, Zhuo Hang rolled his eyes and didn¡¯t want to pay attention to him, but was dragged by the arm to listen to Yuan Chenyu continue: ¡°You say, with Zhenyang so jealous, will he be jealous whenever an alpha approaches Ling Mu in the future?¡±


    ¡°¡­ You are really stupid.¡± Zhuo Hang pointed at himself, then at him, and then pointed out a few of the teammates around him. ¡°See? We have so many alphas here, do you see Zhenyang being jealous? His eyes are so bright that he can see at a glance that the captain of that team has an interest in Ling Mu, so he can take precautions before it happens. But he has never restricted Ling Mu in normal friendships.¡±


    Zhuo Hang paused and continued: ¡°Besides, you¡¯re a fool who has no experience in love. If you have dated, you¡¯ll know how good Zhenyang is to Ling Mu. After all, alphas are born strong, and for the omegas that they have completely marked, their possessiveness is absolutely overwhelming. An alpha of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s level might not be able to bear other alphas looking at his partner at all. In the situation just now, someone else would have gone straight to fight. That he can control himself to such an extent, even I admire him.¡±


    After considering Zhuo Hang¡¯s words, Yuan Chenyu patted his head and said suddenly, ¡°Yes, tsk tsk, it¡¯s all because of his funny expression just now, which made me laugh out loud.¡±


    He sighed to himself, but there was a faint voice in front of him: ¡°Oh, yes, I haven¡¯t seen your brain move so fast ever.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu looked forward in horror to see Qiu Zhenyang staring at him with a death ray.


    ¡°¡­¡± The feeling of being caught gossiping is really something!


    ¡°No, it¡¯s not me, Zhuo Hang was complaining that the guy just now looks like a fool. Compared to you, he¡¯s like the sky and the ground, don¡¯t you think!¡± Yuan Chenyu slapped his thigh and frantically blew rainbow farts.


    Qiu Zhenyang squinted at him coldly, then turned around and ignored him.


    Hearing the movement behind him, Ling Mu couldn¡¯t help turning his face to look at Qiu Zhenyang. Although he used to eat Ling Dang¡¯s vinegar before, that was obviously different from now. As his omega, Ling Mu could clearly feel that Qiu Zhenyang was really unhappy.


    He raised his eyebrows at the fresh feeling, and couldn¡¯t help raising his hand to poke Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arm.


    The latter turned his head and stared at him angrily: ¡°What?¡±


    Ling Mu pointed to the schoolbag he put on the other side. ¡°I¡¯m thirsty.¡±


    Although there are drinks in the waiting area, those drinks are quite unpleasant. Qiu Zhenyang squeezed fresh juice earlier and brought it in his bag.


    Qiu Zhenyang frowned and took the backpack and dug it inside for a while, then took out a water glass and handed it to Ling Mu. Ling Mu took the bottle and found that it wasn¡¯t his own water glass, so he handed it over and said, ¡°This is your water glass, you grabbed it wrong.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Qiu Zhenyang gritted his teeth and turned his head to see Wang Xiaowei, the other party was still staring at Ling Mu. However, after meeting Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s gaze, he moved away as if nothing had happened.


    Holding the water glass, Ling Mu could almost hear a creaking sound from Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s teeth¡­


    ¡°Humph!¡± With a cold snort, Qiu Zhenyang raised his arm and domineeringly hugged Ling Mu into his arms. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my water glass? You belong to me, you should drink my water and eat my meal, and the bed should be mine too!¡±


    ¡°Hiss¡ª¡± He slammed the soft flesh around Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s waist. Hearing the muffled laughter of the surrounding players who were eavesdropping, Ling Mu¡¯s cheeks gradually flushed red, and he whispered in his ear, ¡°Shut up and stop for a while!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was pinched, suddenly became honest. He just got up and asked Ling Mu to change positions with him, relying on his tall figure to block his person from Wang Xiaowei¡¯s eyes.


    At the end of the knockout round in the afternoon, everyone left their seats one after another. Qiu Zhenyang was about to leave with Ling Mu when that guy Wang Xiaowei came to find him again.


    ¡°Really can¡¯t exchange contact information? Finding you in the game requires too much luck.¡± Wang Xiaowei is a restrained handsome guy. Although he¡¯s very shy typically, when it¡¯s time to take the initiative to attack, he is unambiguous. Even if facing a top alpha, like Qiu Zhenyang, face to face, he¡¯s unafraid.


    Ling Mu touched the arms around his waist that were getting tighter and tighter, sighed helplessly, and said to Wang Xiaowei, ¡°I have already said that I am not good at socializing, and we are not familiar with each other, so there is no need.¡±


    Wang Xiaowei didn¡¯t give up. ¡°Friends are all strangers to start with, and become familiar later. We also got along quite well when we played games before. Can¡¯t we really think about it?¡±


    His words were obviously hinting at something.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s teeth were almost crushed by himself, but he still quietly waited for Ling Mu¡¯s response. Jealousy is jealous, but he will not make decisions for Ling Mu in everything.


    ¡°No need.¡± Fortunately, Ling Mu decisively refused without giving Wang Xiaowei a chance, and was directly led away by Qiu Zhenyang.


    Seeing their departing backs, Wang Xiaowei sighed, and slowly slackened his strength to fight against Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s pheromone.


    The team members who were waiting for him came over, and couldn¡¯t help pinching their noses and fanning the air. ¡°F*ck, captain, that guy¡¯s pheromone is too strong, isn¡¯t it? Tsk tsk tsk, how strong is it? Controlling it in such a small range and at such high concentration!¡±


    For the alphas, the pheromone emitted by other alphas is undoubtedly a symbol of provocation and hatred. The more superior party will make the other party extremely uncomfortable, and in extreme cases, may cause vomiting and tearing.


    Wang Xiaowei touched his nose and walked away with his teammates. ¡°It seems that there is no chance.¡±


    Although they felt sorry for their captain, this result was actually expected. Someone came up and patted Wang Xiaowei¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Captain. Frustrated in love, but proud in the battlefield! We might have a chance to meet their team, and we¡¯ll beat them into nothing and let them taste our strength!¡±


    The others quickly covered his mouth. ¡°What are you talking about, we still need to practice more otherwise we¡¯ll be miserable when we meet their team from the Interstellar Academy¡­¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu returned to the dormitory. Along the way, Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t speak, and Ling Mu didn¡¯t talk much, so the two returned to the dormitory in silence.


    After entering the dormitory, Qiu Zhenyang turned around and slammed Ling Mu against the door as soon as the door closed. He lowered his head, and Ling Mu was forced to look up at him to see Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes as black as a starry night, as if he was about to be sucked in. His consciousness swayed.


    ¡°Say you like me.¡± Qiu Zhenyang blinked and went to kiss Xia Ling Mu¡¯s soft lips.


    Ling Mu pursed his lower lip and said nothing.


    ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll bite you if you don¡¯t say anything!¡± Qiu Zhenyang bared his teeth, revealing slightly sharp canine teeth, and leaned closer to Ling Mu¡¯s neck and stretched out his tongue to scrape his smooth skin.


    Ling Mu¡¯s body trembled, he raised his hands to support Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s strong chest, and pushed hard. ¡°I rejected him.¡±


    He already rejected others, why is he still jealous?


    Qiu Zhenyang hummed, biting his teeth on Ling Mu¡¯s adam¡¯s apple, and spit out vaguely: ¡°Someone, coveting you¡­ I¡¯m not happy.¡±


    Ling Mu couldn¡¯t bear his half-childish muttering. He wanted to laugh, raised his hand and grabbed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s ears, gently lifted the person up, looked him in the eyes and said, ¡°It seems that there are more people coveting you, are you sure you want to say this to me?¡±


    Ling Mu would need multiple hands and feet to count the number of people who¡¯ve shown goodwill to Qiu Zhenyang. What¡¯s more, there are many people who secretly greeted him on the road, and many more who covet Qiu Zhenyang that Ling Mu is already indifferent. He doesn¡¯t care about these people at all.


    Knowing that he was wrong, Qiu Zhenyang could only roguishly hold his legs and hold him up.


    It¡¯s not Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s first time doing this. Ling Mu has long been used to it, and quickly stabilized himself. He patted him and asked, ¡°Tsk, why do you keep lifting me up?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled wickedly. ¡°Because this makes me feel that your whole being is mine. You don¡¯t belong to the earth, you don¡¯t belong to the sky, and your whole body is under my control. Ah, it would be better if we were both naked, all you touch is me, belong to me~¡±


    Ling Mu was quite disgusted. ¡°What nonsense are you saying, did your brain go offline after the game?¡±


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s right, my brain is offline, but then you can¡¯t dislike me. Who made you my object¡­¡± After speaking, Qiu Zhenyang raised his head and kissed him.


    Ling Mu was helpless, so he could only bow his head to meet his kiss. After the kiss, Qiu Zhenyang put him down on the sofa and started kissing from top to bottom.


    The atmosphere was hot for a while, and Ling Mu was panting a little hard, because it was still dark and the living room was very bright, which made him feel ashamed, so he couldn¡¯t help but put his hand to his mouth and bit it, trying to hide his voice.


    Qiu Zhenyang noticed his movements, and after kissing a few times, he climbed up to support Ling Mu on both sides, and exchanged a *** kiss with him. When they were separated, the slippery wires were connected, and Ling Mu¡¯s eyes were already scattered, obviously lost in indulgence.


    Ling Mu is so beautiful that he can¡¯t wait to rush to eat it immediately! But Qiu Zhenyang still stopped, and only hugged his lover. ¡°I¡¯ll let you go before the competition is over. After the other competition is over, I¡¯ll ask for it back with interest~¡±


    Ling Mu gasped and said nothing.


    After a long time, when Ling Mu¡¯s breathing finally calmed down, Qiu Zhenyang insisted again: ¡°You haven¡¯t said you like me.¡±


    ¡°You like me.¡±


    ¡°No, you should say, I like you!¡±


    ¡°Oh, I see, you like me.¡±


    ¡°Ah, Xiao Mumu, you¡¯ve turned bad!¡±


    Go Mumu, show QZY who¡¯s boss!

    Wang Xiaowei didn¡¯t expect fate to be so wonderful. On the third day of the game, they were really matched with Interstellar Academy.


    As the two teams entered the competition area, seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s meaningful smile, Wang Xiaowei only felt chills all over his body.


    ¡°Come on, captain, we can do it!¡± The team members were full of confidence, but Wang Xiaowei smiled bitterly. His skills can definitely rank in the top ten in the entire school league. After all, Ling Mu had affirmed his talent when they played together before. But Wang Xiaowei knew he couldn¡¯t compare to Qiu Zhenyang. After all, Ling Mu was taught by him, and his level was much worse than Ling Mu¡¯s, let alone Qiu Zhenyang.


    Sure enough, after entering the game, Wang Xiaowei was quickly discovered by Qiu Zhenyang who began to hunt him.


    Speaking of which, Qiu Zhenyang usually uses a set of fixed routines when he plays games. If that one doesn¡¯t work, he will switch to another one. However, Qiu Zhenyang used another plan from the start, and targeted Wang Xiaowei first.


    While fighting back and forth, Qiu Zhenyang rationally planned the route of his teammates and gave them the best development direction. Although Wang Xiaowei has a strong ability to adapt, Qiu Zhenyang seemed to see through all his actions. Not only was he under pressure, but his teammates were targeted and being overwhelmed everywhere.


    Players can¡¯t see what¡¯s happening in another party¡¯s cabin, but Wang Xiaowei felt that Qiu Zhenyang seemed to be able to see through him, hear his every adjustment, and know every change he directed. The person on the opposite side is so powerful that he can¡¯t resist at all!


    Wang Xiaowei couldn¡¯t help but think that Qiu Zhenyang did indeed hail from the First Legion¡¯s family. If this kind of ability was placed on a real battlefield, he would definitely be a general!


    The game ended in a fierce confrontation. In one sentence, Qiu Zhenyang controlled the rhythm very quickly, and did not give the opponent any chance to retaliate.


    After emerging out of the game cabin, even Yuan Chenyu couldn¡¯t help sighing. ¡°Really jealous when you meet a rival¡­ Since when have you been as crazy as today? I almost wonder if you took some kind of stimulant. The rhythm is so fast that I can¡¯t keep up, and I don¡¯t know how the other side¡¯s mentality is.¡±


    Xi Jun came over to talk and shook his head sympathetically. ¡°I just saw them. All of them frowning and bowing their heads in dejection, it¡¯s too miserable!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang punched each of them, and said with a cold smile, ¡°Why, are you envious? After the game, I¡¯ll play a few rounds with you alone, so that you can also experience this kind of collapse. What do you think?¡±


    The two of them waved their hands with expressions on their faces: ¡°No, no!¡±


    Ling Mu laughed at their cowardly appearance, and followed them to the waiting area. They were the first team to finish once more, and those reporters off the court looked at them with very different eyes. Many people were taking pictures of the team members with cameras, and most of the shots focused on Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu.


    The three-day knockout rounds are over, and now teams will face direct competition. A win means they¡¯ll advance; a loss means they¡¯ll be out.


    Of the original 120 teams, 48 remain, and competing teams will be randomly drawn.


    However, before the next round, everyone has a day to rest. After all, three consecutive days of competition put a lot of pressure on the contestants, and they need to relax properly.


    After one day, the fiercest rounds began.


    After the matches of 48 to 24 in the morning and 24 to 12 directly in the afternoon, the strength of the remaining 12 teams were definitely the strongest in this school league. Interstellar Academy was shortlisted as expected, and the remaining 11 teams are also teams that attracted much attention throughout.


    Fortunately, although Wang Xiaowei¡¯s team suffered a disastrous defeat against Interstellar Academy competition on the third day, they managed to survive the knockout round, and made it to the top 12. For this reason, he went to the Interstellar Academy team to share his joy with Ling Mu, but was stared at by Qiu Zhenyang the whole time, and finally could only touch his nose and walk away in despair.


    The next day¡¯s top 12 match received widespread attention. Even though the school tournaments were streamed and attracted many audience members, the majority of players preferred older games and did not pay much attention.


    With the increased hot searches and voices talking about the school league, people began discussing who the champion team would be. These discussions gradually attracted public attention, and the concept of ¡®e-sports¡¯ began to spread. Although there was no set idea yet, many were looking forward to the emergence of truly standardized e-sports competitions.


    In short, one of the goals of this school league was achieved.


    Not surprisingly, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s team won again in the top 12 competition. But victory was not as easy as before. Earlier, teams were randomly matched, so everyone¡¯s level was different and it was easy to be matched against some weak teams. They finally began feeling pressure when playing against these top 12 teams.


    The night when the top six were decided, several team members were no longer as relaxed as they were before, and breathed a sigh of relief when they came out of the game cabin.


    It wasn¡¯t too hard for them to win, but it was pretty tiring.


    When they walked to the waiting area, Zhuo Hang and Guan Tang came up to greet them. The former patted Yuan Chenyu on the shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged, the other party is very strong. It¡¯s not your fault. Everyone knows your skills are very good. It¡¯s just that the opponent¡¯s moves were too unexpected, and it¡¯s not easy for you to resist for so long.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang also went over to hammer his chest and said with a smile, ¡°You haven¡¯t died since the beginning of the game, right? It doesn¡¯t matter, there will always be one time. After all, I can¡¯t let you share the position of undefeated god of war with me.¡±


    Yuan Chenyu forced a smile, and couldn¡¯t help gritting his teeth to say: ¡°They are really dark, obviously there are two scouts in front, but they actually set a trap for me directly! The scouts didn¡¯t move when I went up, and had the patience to hide until I showed up, god damn it!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang, who watched the overall situation, naturally saw this. As his adjutant, Ling Mu also knew the situation, frowned and said, ¡°It seems that they were not prepared to win from the start, but wanted to get a few more kills, so their record won¡¯t look as bad this way. It¡¯s ugly. And they seemed to target you and Xi Jun specifically. They split off a total of six people to hinder you. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s because you and Xi Jun are very popular among the players, so they specifically targeted you.¡±


    After the whole game, Xi Jun waved his hand with disgust. ¡°What the hell is this? Not playing the game seriously, what¡¯s the point of targeting us? If you want to play, play well, the game is not a tool for them to show their prestige!¡±


    Even if they reached the top 6, everyone was uncomfortable encountering such a disgusting team.


    As the manager of the team, in order to mobilize everyone¡¯s emotions, Guan Tang raised his hand and said, ¡°Alright, alright, today¡¯s game is over. Everyone has to work hard until the 6-3 game the day after tomorrow. I¡¯ll treat everyone to dinner, anything goes, and let¡¯s have a good rest tonight!¡±


    Under Guan Tang¡¯s leadership, everyone rushed out of the hall. Since the school was on holiday, everyone can come and go as they want, including going out to eat.


    It is worth mentioning that after Qiu Zhenyang gave those recipes to his grandmother, the First Consortium opened a restaurant chain on Capital Star.


    At first, the chefs of the restaurants looked at the recipes sent by the headquarters, and were worried about whether the store could be opened with these messy materials. As a result, after they made something according to one of the recipes, the taste of the dish made them kneel! Since then, they were immersed in the recipes and constantly delved into them.


    As chefs, they made better use of the recipes than Qiu Zhenyang, and exerted the greatest effect.


    The restaurant chain of the First Consortium was quite successful, and the tastes of the people on Capital Star began to gradually change. After all, after eating such a delicious meal, who wants to take nutritional supplements, or those expensive and unpalatable things?


    This time Guan Tang took everyone to one of the restaurant chains of the First Consortium. Everyone guessed that the recipe of the First Consortium came from Qiu Zhenyang, because there are many dishes in the restaurant that they have seen, such as fried chicken and milk tea.


    While eating the delicious food, Guan Tang couldn¡¯t help looking at Qiu Zhenyang with tears in his eyes. ¡°Captain, you are too good. Not only are you great at games, you¡¯re actually good at cooking! I feel that in the near future, our food will be improved by more than one or two grades! These dishes are so delicious that I want to cry!¡±


    The other team members echoed him, but they didn¡¯t want to cry, they just wanted to stuff all the food into their stomachs!


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help laughing at them. ¡°If you think it¡¯s delicious, eat more. It¡¯s not like you can¡¯t eat, why are you crying?¡±


    After speaking, Qiu Zhenyang picked up a piece of cooked pork belly, dabbed it in the sauce he prepared, and then handed it to Ling Mu. ¡°Eat this, the meat over there is not yet cooked. When it is cooked, I will pick it up and give it to you.¡±


    Ling Mu nodded and unceremoniously took the pork belly that Qiu Zhenyang gave him with a satisfied face.


    The team members watched in silence for a while, then lowered their heads and ate faster.


    They don¡¯t want to eat dog food before they are full!


    Self-inflicted, QZY. Your suffering is self-inflicted.

    The 6-in-3 semi-finals will determine the top three places. Whether it was the players, outside media, or those players who were eliminated, everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the semi-finals.


    Qiu Zhenyang also felt a lot of pressure.


    Although he is equivalent to the creator of the game and has certain advantages, he is still inferior to those natural pros. He paid attention to nearly every match, and would watch the replays after he went back. He also became more and more aware of the talent of a small group of people.


    Fortunately, Ling Mu¡¯s performance continued to improve after each match. Although he never played games before, his love for mecha has made him continue training, and his level even had a tendency to surpass Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°You performed really well today~¡± After coming out of the 6-3 semi-finals, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help blowing rainbow farts at Ling Mu, smiling complacently.


    In previous games, Qiu Zhenyang had always had the most kills. In today¡¯s game, Ling Mu had an extraordinary performance, and harvested two more kills than Qiu Zhenyang. In a game with a total of 10 heads, even 1 kill is difficult.


    The team also came up to praise Ling Mu¡¯s greatness, Yuan Chenyu smiled and said: ¡°Ling Mu is really great, and has suppressed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s limelight. I say, surnamed Qiu, it seems that you are going to be beaten by your wife and pressed down, tsk tsk tsk~¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang snorted, wrapped Ling Mu¡¯s waist close to him, and squinted at Yuan Chenyu. ¡°So what? I taught him everything, and am happy he can defeat his master! Besides, it doesn¡¯t matter if he presses me in the game, as long as I push him on the bed.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s face darkened. He suddenly raised his leg and stomped on Qiu Zhenyang, taking advantage of his whimpering and walked away without looking back.


    Seeing this, the team burst into laughter. Yuan Chenyu even burst into tears. He pointed at Qiu Zhenyang and said, ¡°Hahaha, you deserve it!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang beat Yuan Chenyu several times in anger, and then pulled Zhuo Hang to help him beat him together, before hurriedly chasing Ling Mu.


    There were three full days of rest before the finals, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu simply stayed in the dormitory and had a good rest.


    Recently, because of the huge momentum of the ¡°Machine Wars¡± school league, there¡¯s a constant stream of reporters wanting to interview them individually. Many contestants were interviewed, but Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu did not like this atmosphere much. They were just playing games, and didn¡¯t want to become famous to that extent. The enthusiastic livestream audience was enough to give them a headache, let alone the media.


    On the first day of rest, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu turned off all social media reminders and watched replays in the living room.


    Qiu Zhenyang was sitting on the sofa, holding Ling Mu in his arms, his chin resting on his shoulder, watching the virtual screen projected in the center of the living room. Ling Mu held a fruit plate in his hand, occasionally forked a piece of fruit and put it into Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth with precision. The picture was quite harmonious.


    ¡°You¡¯re too aggressive here, and lost a lot of blood in vain. If you went around the winding gorge, the other party wouldn¡¯t be able to find you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang carefully analyzed the situation of Ling Mu¡¯s last game, and then grabbed the fruit Ling Mu handed over.


    Ling Mu nodded with a very serious expression: ¡°I see, next time I will say hello to Xi Jun first, and let him help attract attention.¡±


    In terms of overall strategy and details, Ling Mu is still inferior to Qiu Zhenyang in many aspects. He takes Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words seriously, and uses them to continuously improve. His attention to detail and constant efforts are why he can make rapid progress.


    The automatic recording board on the table was working on its own, recording everything Qiu Zhenyang said. Qiu Zhenyang watched the video not only to give Ling Mu better advice, but also to help the team review. After each match, Qiu Zhenyang will invite everyone to watch and review the game together.


    Qiu Zhenyang carefully observed the problems of his own players in the game, but Ling Mu¡¯s attention gradually drifted away.


    After saying a few words without getting a response from Ling Mu, Qiu Zhenyang noticed his absent-mindedness, and couldn¡¯t help but tighten his arms around his waist. ¡°Are you distracted?¡±


    ¡°Ah,¡± Ling Mu came back to his senses and touched his nose. ¡°En.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, what are you thinking?¡± Qiu Zhenyang thought he had some insights into the game, so he paused his screen and waited to hear Ling Mu¡¯s idea.


    But what he didn¡¯t expect was that Ling Mu was entangled for a long time, and the words he said were:


    ¡°If I do better than you, will you be unhappy?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was stunned by these words. It is estimated that Yuan Chenyu¡¯s joke hit Ling Mu¡¯s heart. After all, omegas are naturally sensitive, and now that he has been marked and in a confirmed relationship with Qiu Zhenyang, he can¡¯t help but look at things from an omega¡¯s point of view. Ling Mu didn¡¯t care about himself, but he couldn¡¯t not care about what others thought of Qiu Zhenyang.


    Qiu Zhenyang wanted to run out now to beat Yuan Chenyu up!


    He wouldn¡¯t think it was Ling Mu who couldn¡¯t make a joke. Not everyone is neurotic and outgoing. Even among friends, everything is not right. Qiu Zhenyang understands and is willing to help Ling Mu untie his happy knot. , as long as many problems are solved, they will not appear again next time.


    So he smiled and hugged Ling Mu tighter, and said, ¡°No, as I said at the time, if you behave better than me, I will only be happier. You are the god in the hearts of many omega players. Your performance overwhelms me, which makes people even more excited! As for me, why would I be unhappy with such a powerful person as my wife? I will only think about how to tie you firmly, so you¡¯re not kidnapped by others~¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang may never realize that he is actually a very gentle person.


    He always looks at problems from the perspective of others, is gentle and accommodating, but when he encounters some principled problems, he will not blindly tolerate and compromise. He lived the way many people dreamed ¨C free and wanton, gentle and powerful.


    Ling Mu is the person who can feel this most intuitively. His self-doubt, disappointment, and indifference to the world have subtly changed in the few months he spent with Qiu Zhenyang. In the past, he never imagined that he would have such an experience with an alpha.


    ¡°So you can play games with peace of mind. We are a team. We win together, and lose together. Everyone hopes that you can become more powerful!¡± Qiu Zhenyang played with Ling Mu¡¯s hands, creating various poses, and finally tightened his fingers, as if to pass all his thoughts to Ling Mu.


    ¡°En, I see.¡± Ling Mu turned around and kissed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face.


    ¡°So cute¡­¡± How could Qiu Zhenyang miss such a good opportunity, twist Ling Mu¡¯s body over a little bit, hug him and kiss him deeply.


    After the two people analyzed the video of the game, they held a review meeting for the team in the evening. The mental state of the team regulars was quite good, so after listening to the review carefully, they all realized some of their own problems.


    Next, Qiu Zhenyang analyzed the other two teams in the finals. The school league has been going on for a while. Although they were unfamiliar with the other schools at the start, there are now several game videos for them to review, and some basic patterns can be seen.


    The other two teams in the top three are teams from two top universities. Their captains are not simple people either. They played against one of the teams early in the competition, and after losing, the team reorganized and crushed their opponents, even beating one of the opposing teams faster than Interstellar Academy.


    Qiu Zhenyang was not very worried about this team. The other team was the one he was most worried about.


    Some of the opponent¡¯s fighting skills were beyond even Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s. Their captain is also quite powerful in terms of strategy and planning, and felt very dangerous.


    ¡°Everyone has done a lot of training, and giving you more tasks is just superfluous and adding pressure. Take a good look at their game videos, get familiar with their battles, and calm down. This is what everyone needs to do next. Meeting dismissed.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang turned off the video, got up, and went back to his room to take a shower.


    He knows that everyone felt the pressure. After all, the ¡°Machine Wars¡± game is linked to him, their captain. In addition, Interstellar Academy is considered better than the other schools in every aspect, so this time they also want to reach first place to avoid ruining the school¡¯s standing.


    Everyone actively adjusted their mentality over the next 2 days, analyzing the characteristics of their opponents, and then setting aside time to train together.


    On the day of the finals, everyone got up early and rushed to the venue ahead of time.


    ¡°Well, I went to Lucky Star two days ago to ask for a lot of ¡®victory charms¡¯ for everyone. You all wear them when you enter the game cabin later. It can bless everyone to win!¡± Guan Tang was so nervous that he looked even more nervous than the players.


    Zhuo Hang couldn¡¯t help but press his forehead: ¡°What¡¯s the use of these? Everyone wins the game by skill, not luck¡­¡±


    ¡°Then, luck will also be a part of it, don¡¯t talk, you can bring one too!¡± Guan Tang handed the bag of talismans to each member one at a time.


    ¡°Ling Mu, you must do your best, the future of us omegas is up to you!¡± Guan Tang¡¯s eyes were bright, full of admiration and expectation.


    Since the school league became popular, Ling Mu can be said to have become an idol in the hearts of most omegas. These people are not just gamers, but come from all walks of life. Because of the complex gender relations in this society, omegas are easily bullied no matter what field they are in, and are bound to marry and have children.


    But Ling Mu¡¯s appearance brought them a glimmer of hope. Even in an environment that is not very friendly to omegas like games, Ling Mu can shine so brightly. Then they can do the same in other industries!


    ¡°En, I know.¡± Ling Mu and Guan Tang put their fists together and walked to the competition area.


    The rest of the team followed suit and went to the arena with solemn expressions.


    2 more weeks until AAPCFO ends!

 CH 94

    The rules for the semi-final are not much different from the previous rounds. The three teams face off in pairs, and the scores are ranked according to the winner, number of kills, and time to win.


    After three rounds in the morning, the team that had lost to Interstellar Academy lost twice more, missing their chance to become the champion. The remaining teams, Interstellar Academy and Federation Academy, will have their final battle in the afternoon.


    Speaking of which, Federation Academy also has a big background. From the name itself, one can tell it¡¯s separable from the Federation. It¡¯s actually a half aristocratic college, because most officials in the Federation will send their children to Federation Academy. Whether it is financial, material, or manpower, they are a strong opponent.


    However, because there are too many children from famous families, and the influence of politics between families, many students form factions, making the atmosphere much worse than that of Interstellar Academy.


    At the end of the morning matches, when everyone was about to leave to solve lunch first, the team from Federation Academy suddenly walked towards them.


    Seeing their afternoon opponent approach so aggressively, Xi Jun and the others looked at each other, not knowing what they were going to do.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows at the alpha who walked straight to him.


    This person is called Li Shuo, the captain of the team. He has very strong skills, and his battlefield awareness is comparable to that of Qiu Zhenyang. Even because of his talent, he has almost suppressed Qiu Zhenyang as the most famous player.


    Li Shuo squinted his eyes, raised his head with his arms folded, and looked at Qiu Zhenyang with slanted eyes. ¡°I thought the second son of Marshal Qiu would be more imposing, but he turned out to be an ordinary person. Tch, boring.¡±


    Ling Mu, who was standing beside him, frowned, but Qiu Zhenyang laughed out loud and couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°Who isn¡¯t an ordinary person? You? Do you have three eyes or two noses?¡±


    The team members shook their heads tacitly, looking at Li Shuo with disgust in their eyes.


    Li Shuo¡¯s face darkened. Gritting his teeth, he smiled coldly: ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to play tricks with me now. I¡¯ll let you know who¡¯s better this afternoon. Ah, by the way, I remember that there¡¯s someone in your team who¡¯s an omega, right? An omega should do what an omega should do, instead of being an embarrassment to games, it¡¯s better to go back and have children!¡±


    The members behind Li Shuo laughed, even pointing to Ling Mu, and mouthing the words ¡°have children¡±.


    Ling Mu, an omega, has never been subjected to such sexism since the beginning of the school league. After all, his skills are really strong, and he is much better than most alphas. Who has the face to discriminate against him? Besides, Ling Mu is covered by Qiu Zhenyang, and a student of Interstellar Academy. Who in the right mind will have nothing to do and make fun of his gender under the eyes of the principal?


    Although many people discriminate against Ling Mu in private, Li Shuo was the only one who dared speak out in person.


    The smile on Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face suddenly disappeared, and his expression turned as deep and terrifying as a black cloud.


    After such a long time of contact, everyone in the team has completely regarded Ling Mu as one of their core members. The team was pissed off, and Xi Jun stepped forward with an angry face, puffed up his chest and cursed: ¡°What the hell are you idiots talking about!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu also stepped forward and waved his fists at them. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, your skin is itchy? Do you need me to give you some relief?¡±


    The atmosphere between the two sides became tense, and was on the verge of breaking out. Even the principal who was about to leave noticed it, not to mention the media who were still in the stands. They had already set up cameras to record their confrontation. Several reporters started an off-court live broadcast, and many people saw the friction between the two teams competing for the championship for the first time.


    Someone on the Internet immediately opened a thread to discuss whether it is reasonable for omega to play games.


    Most people still support it. After all, there have been many omegas in the game since the public beta of ¡°Machine Wars¡±. Although they can¡¯t be scouts, they can still be guards, and are better than some reckless alphas, and are very obedient. Plus some omegas will turn on their microphones and their soft and sweet voice is very comfortable. Besides, why can¡¯t omegas as powerful as Ling Mu play?!


    However, a small number of people expressed their support for Li Shuo. What kind of games or jobs does an omega want to play or work?  They should just marry and have children instead of messing around.


    In the past, when there were only two genders, many people quarreled. Now, the war further escalated across the six genders. No one can convince anyone, and can only set off one cyber war after another.


    Ling Mu has been paying attention to Qiu Zhenyang, if it was in the past, he would definitely be the first to punch this idiot! But they¡¯re in the midst of the school league. Once he makes a move, they¡¯ll be punished to withdraw, making everyone¡¯s efforts in vain! Moreover, he was even more worried about Qiu Zhenyang, who had a terrifying expression!


    Most people will probably react this way. If someone angrily stands on their side and fights for them when they¡¯re hurt, the anger in their heart will fade a lot, and they may even worry if the other party will be implicated and treated unjustly.


    Fortunately, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s self-control ability is very strong. He took a deep breath, and clenched the fists on his side.


    ¡°If you want to compete, just compete. Do you think it¡¯s interesting to say these words? The world is so big, go out and see more. Don¡¯t look at the problem one-sidedly like a frog in the well.¡± Qiu Zhenyang sneered. Since sending Lin Yuhan to prison, he hasn¡¯t encountered this kind of scum in a while. ¡°Playing games won¡¯t affect his ability to give birth. Besides, aren¡¯t you just making a fuss because you think you can¡¯t compare to Ling Mu? Aren¡¯t you ashamed?¡±


    ¡°Bullsh*t!¡± Self-esteem offended, Li Shuo immediately flared up in anger. ¡°You¡¯d better take good care of your omega. Don¡¯t cry when we beat you later!¡±


    Shooting his middle finger back, he turned and left with his team members.


    After such a mess, the team was in a very bad mood. Guan Tang immediately ran to Ling Mu and said, ¡°Don¡¯t pay attention to that bad guy, he is really annoying!¡±


    ¡°En, I¡¯m fine.¡± Ling Mu patted Guan Tang¡¯s head.


    Qiu Zhenyang turned to look at his angry teammates, and said in a clear voice: ¡°You all know that he is a fool, so don¡¯t give it any more thought. He deliberately provoked us this time to make us feel bad, don¡¯t be fooled by him.¡±


    The school league has gone on for quite some time now. A blind man could see that Li Shuo picked such a sensitive time to make trouble. It was obviously on purpose.


    Unfortunately, his means were not clever enough, and Qiu Zhenyang quickly saw it through. Maybe he couldn¡¯t find another breakthrough point, so he took advantage of his concern for Ling Mu in an attempt to make him angry, and make his teammates feel bad, in order to affect their performance this afternoon.


    The team immediately reacted upon hearing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s words.


    They really overreacted just now, and almost had their afternoon performance thrown off.


    Yuan Chenyu quickly took a few deep breaths and put on a very deliberate smile on his face. ¡°Life is beautiful, we don¡¯t care about fools. When we win the game, dad will slap them on the head.¡±


    His expression was really funny. Guan Tang couldn¡¯t hold back, and burst out laughing.


    Zhuo Hang walked over and raised his arm to jab Yuan Chenyu. He bared his teeth and said with a smile: ¡°Good luck this afternoon, I¡¯ll scold him with you after you win! But if you lose to that idiot¡­¡±


    Yuan Chenyu immediately shouted: ¡°Lose? How could we lose! What Li Shuo, I can fight ten of him! I¡¯ll say now, if I lose, I¡¯ll eat the game cabin live!¡±


    The rest of the team also began to adjust. Once it became clear Li Shuo provoked them on purpose to affect their gameplay, their anger could be suppressed and replaced with more vigorous enthusiasm for the afternoon match.


    Li Shuo¡¯s abacus was wrong. Interstellar Academy will become more terrifying in the afternoon!


    When they went back to eat at noon, Qiu Zhenyang was a little absent-minded. Ling Mu saw him continuing to pick at white rice for a long time, he picked some vegetables. But Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t notice it at all and continued to be in a daze.


    ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Ling Mu raised his hand and waved it in front of him. ¡°Still thinking about Li Shuo?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang regained his senses, stunned, and immediately shook his head: ¡°No, no, who cares about him.¡±


    He ate all the dishes that Ling Mu clipped for him, looking satisfied. ¡°My wife¡¯s food is still more delicious~ Let¡¯s change bowls, I think the rice in your bowl is more fragrant than mine~ ¡°


    Ling Mu glanced at him with disgust, and picked a few more dishes for him from the table. ¡°Eat your own stuff.¡±


    After finishing lunch, the two laid down on the sofa to rest. The sofa isn¡¯t too big, and feels crowded with two people lying down. But Qiu Zhenyang insisted on hugging Ling Mu in his arms. He touched Ling Mu¡¯s thorny hair one after another, and then lightly touched the scar on Ling Mu¡¯s brow bone.


    ¡°Itchy.¡± Ling Mu opened his hand to touch his scar, complained softly, and then asked after a while of silence, ¡°Will we win?¡±


    Although Li Shuo has a sinister mind, his skills are beyond doubt. Having watched the rival team¡¯s games, their school isn¡¯t that bad. In fact, Ling Mu doesn¡¯t lack confidence, but is a little confused. Before, he always believed that his team could win the championship, but with the final approaching, he suddenly began to doubt himself.


    Qiu Zhenyang kissed the top of his hair. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if we win or lose, Mumu, tell me, have you been happy playing the game?¡±


    Ling Mu closed his eyes.


    How could he be unhappy? ¡°Machine Wars¡± not only gave him the opportunity to be in the mecha universe, but also let him meet many friends, making him more confident and competitive. This game has enriched his life, and brought him considerable benefits. These are all things Ling Mu had longed for but dared not think about.


    The man in his arms nodded slightly.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled: ¡°Then don¡¯t hesitate, no matter whether we win or lose, you are already on your way, and moving forward.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I will always be by your side.¡±


    Go beat that alpha cancer!

 CH 95

    After taking a nap to recover, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went to the arena.


    Everyone is in good shape, and their expressions are full of confidence.


    ¡°Li Shuo and the others must have studied our fighting methods, plus he is very talented in planning, and good at using unexpected tricks, so I may change our tactics at any time in this match. You must all listen to my command. Even if it¡¯s to give away your head, you must do so.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang gave everyone a final warning, Li Shuo is not an ordinary opponent. He made so many arrangements on the battlefield that even Qiu Zhenyang was astonished to see them. He lurks like a venomous snake, and once the opponent relaxes their attention, he will immediately lunge and devour them.


    Everyone knew the importance of this game and nodded.


    They can already see the top of the mountain, and will never allow themselves to be a stumbling block for the entire team!


    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s it, fuel up, everyone!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang stretched out his hands with his palms down, everyone raised their hands and folded them, and then pressed down heavily:


    ¡°We must win!¡±


    The match didn¡¯t start off too intensely, but the audience was still nervous. The back and forth between Qiu Zhenyang and Li Shuo is very exciting. Both teams are constantly testing each other, and it¡¯s not easy to find a weak spot, but once they did, heavy damage would rain down on the opposing side!


    Halfway through the game, both sides lost a scout and a commando. Qiu Zhenyang took a deep breath, opened the map, scanned all the routes everyone had explored, and carefully checked where else they could set up ambushes.


    As his adjutant, Ling Mu had been protecting Qiu Zhenyang by his side, and when he stopped, he knew he was looking at the map. The marshals of the two teams are the most critical figures, because the marshal can see the map scouted by the team. It is the role who knows the situation on the field best, and also the person that everyone gives the highest priority to protect.


    ¡°Xi Jun, go and cooperate with Chenyu, the magnetic field in the canyon in front of him is abnormal. There should be an assault soldier there. Remember to be careful, if the opponent has a trap, immediately retreat. Qin Tian, ??you retreat first. Go to the mothership¡¯s three o¡¯clock position and support them at any time.¡± Qiu Zhenyang continued to issue orders, and at the same time carefully paid attention to the real-time pictures sent by the scouts, looking for the whereabouts of the enemy.


    This was probably Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s most cautious match since the competition, and the audience were all on the edges of their seat, for fear of missing something.


    And at the moment when everyone held their breath, the war was about to break out!


    Yuan Chenyu really encountered the opposite assault soldiers, and there were only three of them. Even if Xi Jun arrived in time, the situation of three against two is not optimistic. Although the two retreated in time, the other party kept attacking, cutting off their retreat, making it impossible for people to move even an inch!


    ¡°Damn, these people are really deceiving! There were actually three people hiding here!¡± Yuan Chenyu gritted his teeth in hatred when he recalled being ambushed to death by his opponent last time. But he suppressed his anger, and continued to obey Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s command. No matter how embarrassed he was, the game is the most important now, and there can be no mistakes!


    Seeing that the two were about to be cornered, Qin Tian rushed over in time, followed by Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu!


    ¡°Okay, Qiu Zhenyang!¡± Yuan Chenyu immediately became excited. He was nearly beaten to death just now, when he did a 180, firing on all cylinders, counter-attacking the three assault soldiers who were chasing him just now!


    Seeing this scene, the three assault soldiers were stunned. Why are there so many people? And why is their marshal here?


    Then the position of the opposing team¡¯s marshal mentioned by their captain just now¡­ false?


    ¡°Good job, Cheng Yuan.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled in the mecha, and instructed everyone to fight together.


    Cheng Yuan is one of the scouts on their team. Apart from stealth skills, scouts also have an imitation skill. This skill can only be used once, so many will not use it unless it¡¯s a very critical time.


    He sensed a fluctuation before and passed the news to Qiu Zhenyang, who immediately guessed it might be Li Shuo. After all, both sides have lost two players. Guards will remain near the mothership, meaning that Yuan Chenyu¡¯s side is most likely to be ambushed, so Qiu Zhenyang asked Cheng Yuan to disguise as Ling Mu¡¯s mecha to attract the other side¡¯s attention.


    In the game, the adjutant rarely separates from the marshal, so Li Shuo took it for granted that Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were together. No one would¡¯ve thought to use a disguised scout at such a point, so he really thought it was Ling Mu.


    It¡¯s a pity that Qiu Zhenyang used this one and only disguise to bet, and he was right! The two of them were not far from Yuan Chenyu. After giving out the order, he rushed over with Ling Mu, just in time to counterattack!


    Five vs. three, the result is already obvious. Even if they resisted stubbornly, they didn¡¯t last long and Interstellar Academy quickly harvested 3 heads.


    Only the marshal, adjutant, a scout, and two guards are left on Li Shuo¡¯s side.


    Li Shuo clenched his fists and smashed the control panel hard, swearing loudly.


    The game ended twenty minutes later with Interstellar Academy winning!


    ¡°You guys are really good!¡± After coming out of the game cabin, Zhuo Hang and Guan Tang rushed forward smiling and gave everyone a hug.


    Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with joy and excitement. They finally won the championship!


    Seeing the bright smile on Ling Mu¡¯s face, Qiu Zhenyang also excited and happy. He walked over and clenched Ling Mu¡¯s hand, and raised his head at him: ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go get the trophy together?¡±


    The principal on the stage was already calling for them to go up. The trophy was already carried to the stage, and he was just waiting for them to come up.


    In the process of rushing to the stage excitedly, Qiu Zhenyang and the others passed by Li Shuo¡¯s team, and hooked his lips to him with a middle finger. ¡°This is the gesture you left before, right? Give it back to you. Remember next time, compete fairly. Don¡¯t play such tricks, the way of heaven is fair, and strength is the best proof!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu and others all raised their middle fingers, full of sarcasm.


    Li Shuo¡¯s face was ugly, but he didn¡¯t say anything, turned around and left with his teammates.


    ¡°Ah, that idiot! Leave him alone, let¡¯s go up to accept the award, woohoo!¡± Yuan Chenyu ran up the stage excitedly. The principal glared at him several times before he managed to suppress his overly excited mood, and wait for everyone to come up.


    As the captain of the team, Qiu Zhenyang naturally stood in the middle.


    The reporters and media were taking continuous photos and recordings of this glorious moment.


    ¡°This school league took about half a month, and it finally came to an end. I am very grateful to all the students who came to participate, and I am also very grateful to all the friends who came to watch the game, so that this competition could finish so perfectly!¡± He was naturally even happier that their team won the championship.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s present the trophy to the champion team this time!¡± The principal said and applauded first, then took the 20-centimeter-long mecha-shaped trophy and presented it to Qiu Zhenyang.


    ¡°Thank you, principal.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled and thanked him. Seeing the trophy in his hand, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.


    No way, who made this trophy a product of the First Consortium.


    After receiving the trophy, Qiu Zhenyang immediately passed it to Ling Mu, who was stunned for a moment, then raised his lips with a smile, and then passed it to the person on the other side.


    This trophy belongs to all of them, and everyone should feel its weight!


    As the vice president and manager, Zhuo Hang and Guan Tang were also on stage. When the trophy arrived, Guan Tang was crying and laughing, blurting a lot of thanks to everyone, and then named everyone in the team one by one, saying that they were all great, making everyone smile and laugh.


    In the end, the trophy was returned to Qiu Zhenyang. He said a word into the microphone: ¡°We have already started, and we hope that the e-sports competition will become a regular competition in the near future! Let¡¯s work together!¡±


    The audience burst into applause. Barrages also exploded in the livestream.


    Everyone cheered!


    But at this moment, Qiu Zhenyang suddenly handed the trophy to Zhuo Hang, took out something from his pocket, and knelt in front of Ling Mu in public.


    Startled, Ling Mu hurriedly bent down to help him up, but Qiu Zhenyang grabbed his wrist.


    ¡°Ling Mu.¡± Qiu Zhenyang looked at him with a serious face.


    The unusual situation stunned Ling Mu who stopped his movements. Looking at Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s posture, he vaguely guessed what he might be doing, and gradually recalled in his mind what he had asked when he was confused and tired.


    It was about a marriage proposal.


    As his heart tightened, Ling Mu felt his whole body stiffen, and his ears slowly turned red.


    Their teammates and the audience also became aware of something, and quieted down and looked excitedly at the kneeling and standing pair on stage.


    ¡°I asked you before, what kind of proposal you like,¡± Qiu Zhenyang was a little shy, his cheeks flushed. ¡°Because you didn¡¯t give an exact response, so I thought, this moment is the right time to propose to you.¡±


    He opened the small blue box in his hand to reveal an exquisite diamond ring inside. Although the style was simple, it could make people fall in love at a glance.


    ¡°Actually, we¡¯ve actually been in contact for less than a semester. However, the things we¡¯ve experienced are probably more unforgettable than most couples.¡± Qiu Zhenyang said a little provocatively. His eyes, which seemed to hold the entire galaxy, were filled to the brim with Ling Mu alone.


    He took the ring out of the small box: ¡°I want to be with you for the rest of my life, sharing happiness and hope, sorrow and disappointment. I will care and love you for a lifetime, hold you in my hand and cherish you. You¡¯re the person I love the most in my life.¡±


    Ling Mu bit his lip, and his eyes were a little red.


    ¡°So, will you marry me?¡±


    He proposed!

 CH 96

    ¡°Marry him! Marry him!¡±


    Countless people started cheering, and the audience in the livecast commented frantically.


    [My god, this love between Cinderel1technically ¡°male Cinderella¡± (the last word in Cinderella in Chinese is ¡°maiden¡± or ¡°girl¡±) so I cut the ¡°la¡± to make it sound more masculine and the prince is killing me ah ah ah!]


    [Actually choosing to propose at the moment of winning the championship. I¡¯m crying so much~]


    [Didn¡¯t Qiu Zhenyang think about what would happen if he didn¡¯t win the championship? Don¡¯t propose?]


    [So do everything you can! There is only one way to win the championship! Rush for the wife!]


    The barrage went crazy, and the platform almost broke.


    In addition to those envious voices blessing them, there are also many voices of doubt and disapproval, thinking that this is a show to attract attention. However, all these voices were brushed off by everyone. There are so many schools jointly participating, and the principal of the Interstellar Academy is the host. What are these guys thinking¡­


    The atmosphere at the scene was much quieter; everyone was waiting for Ling Mu to answer.


    He gritted his teeth and held back his tears. It would be too embarrassing if he was moved to cry now!


    ¡°I don¡¯t like sweet words or empty promises,¡± Ling Mu pursed his lower lip and stretched out his left hand. ¡°But I have seen all the things you did, so I am willing.¡±


    Heart beating wildly, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s trembling hands carefully slid the ring onto his fingers.


    Afterwards, Ling Mu put the other ring on Qiu Zhenyang.


    The two looked at each other and smiled, Qiu Zhenyang stood up and hugged Ling Mu tightly.


    The quiet competition hall broke out with warm applause and cheers resounded throughout the hall.


    Yuan Chenyu jumped on Zhuo Hang¡¯s back excitedly and shook his shoulders vigorously. ¡°Did you see it? Did you see it? This guy Qiu Zhenyang is so awesome! I never thought that this guy has such a romantic side! My god, I¡¯m going to die of envy!¡±


    Zhuo Hang was so pressed by him that he bent down and said angrily, ¡°You are so excited, why are you lying on me? Do you know how much an alpha weighs, go down!¡±


    Yuan Chenyu immediately grabbed his neck and laughed awkwardly: ¡°Hey, hey, your body¡¯s not too good, eh, Zhuo Hang? You¡¯re taller than me, but can¡¯t hold me up? Tsk tsk tsk, you need to pay attention to exercising, weakling!¡±


    The two of them didn¡¯t forget to send a loud blessing to Qiu Zhenyang and the others.


    On the other side, several people from the Qiu family who were waiting outside for a long time also came in one after another. Zhu Qin was so excited that she couldn¡¯t help trotting over, watching her two sons as she burst into tears. ¡°Ling Mu, you will be a member of our Qiu family from now on. If anyone dares bully you and Ling Dang, we will never let them go!¡±


    Ling Mu saw that Zhu Qin had come, and quickly pushed Qiu Zhenyang away to give Zhu Qin more space.


    Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin came in next. Ling Dang was led by Qiu Haolin, dressed like a little princess, smiling innocently and cutely.


    The tears that were held back just now couldn¡¯t be held back anymore, Ling Mu could only take a deep breath and raised his head to open his eyes. He exhaled a breath, looked at Zhu Qin again, and this time shouted in a very firm voice: ¡°Mom, thank you.¡±


    Immediately, Ling Mu called Qiu Zhang ¡°Dad¡± and Qiu Haolin ¡°Brother¡± again. He didn¡¯t feel any more embarrassment or inferiority because these people all treated him with sincerity.


    Zhu Qin wiped away her tears happily, and Qiu Zhenyang smiled when he saw it. ¡°Mom, be careful with your makeup, don¡¯t blame us if you look ugly.¡±


    ¡°Stinky boy, shut your mouth! Don¡¯t you remember who made this ring for you? I¡¯ve been running errands for you during the competition!¡± Zhu Qin glared at Qiu Zhenyang angrily, but there was no sign of unwillingness.


    After Qiu Zhenyang decided the time to propose to Ling Mu, he asked his mother to make a ring for him. This ring was designed by him and has no technical content, apart from their names and the date of their acquaintance engraved on the inside.


    It was not the day the original body and Ling Mu met, but the day he and Ling Mu really met.


    There are some things he is not prepared to say for the time being, because it is unnecessary and meaningless. He already accepted everything from his original body, good or bad, and embraced it as a part of him.


    In the near future, he might tell Ling Mu that he actually came from another place, but Ling Mu doesn¡¯t need to worry, because he will not go back, let alone leave his side.


    ¡°You started planning at that time?¡± Ling Mu was a little surprised. He was with Qiu Zhenyang almost all the time, even when sleeping. As a result, Qiu Zhenyang actually managed to keep such a thing from him?


    Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t say a word, but Zhu Qin couldn¡¯t help opening her mouth. ¡°He was already prepared, and wanted to give you a surprise, so he asked us to come in advance to witness such a moment.¡±


    Seeing her son so considerate, as his mother, Zhu Qin, was really pleased!


    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t stay here, the game is over, let¡¯s go home and celebrate.¡± After all, Qiu Zhang is a marshal. Many reporters have already crowded over to take photos of him.


    When Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu heard the words, they quickly thanked the principal, and the teammates were waving their hands to chase them away: ¡°Go back, we¡¯ll wait here until the end. The runner-up and third place haven¡¯t been awarded, and we¡¯ll stay to give the team face. Remember to invite us next time we meet!¡±


    The two agreed again and thanked them before following their parents and siblings to the door.


    The reporters swarmed, trying to follow, but unfortunately Qiu Zhang and them had applied to use an aircraft on school grounds, so they got on the aircraft immediately after going out, and left straight away.


    What happened on this day can be said to have caused a huge impact. It was broadcast everywhere. After all, apart from Qiu Zhenyang being the captain of the school league championship team this time, he had a more striking identity as the second son of the Qiu family! The addition of a new member to the Chief Legion family is big news!


    The most important point is that after the reporters dug into the matter, everyone knew that Qiu Zhenyang proposed to the omega whom he had broken up the marriage contract with before.


    However, no one in the Qiu family paid attention to this.


    After returning home, Zhu Qin busied herself preparing dinner. In fact, it was still early, but because she thought it was a day worth celebrating, she wanted a lot of dishes, some of which need some time to prepare, so it¡¯s fine to start early.


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu accompanied Ling Dang to play in the living room. There are many toys belonging to Ling Dang in the villa, which showed how much the Qiu family doted on her.


    As for Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin, they took leave today and sat at the tea table while drinking tea and chatting.


    The atmosphere is very harmonious, like a loving family.


    ¡°Really cute today, you were almost moved to tears, right?¡± Seeing Ling Dang concentrate on building blocks, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows at Ling Mu with a wicked smile.


    Ling Mu¡¯s expression did not change, staring at Ling Dang¡¯s movements, and his tone was disdainful: ¡°What¡¯s with your attitude? You were blushing back there, Young Master Qiu.¡±


    After spending so much time with Qiu Zhenyang, Ling Mu also learned to tease back.


    ¡°That¡¯s definitely your misunderstanding. After all, your eyes are red, so it¡¯s normal to see incorrectly.¡± Qiu Zhenyang retorted solemnly.


    ¡°I say,¡± Ling Mu was playing with a building block in his hand, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid I will refuse? If I refused you in front of so many people, you would be very embarrassed¡­ And don¡¯t you think that it¡¯s too early? Why did you propose to me so quickly, I won¡¯t run away.¡±


    These words were his sincere words. Although Ling Mu expected Qiu Zhenyang to propose to him, he did not expect it to be so soon¡­ and in front of so many people.


    Did he think about the consequences?


    ¡°I just wanted to label you as mine as soon as possible, and I know you will definitely agree.¡± Qiu Zhenyang smiled confidently.


    What consequences? He didn¡¯t need to think about it, he only knew that Ling Mu would definitely agree.


    ¡°So confident?¡± Ling Mu couldn¡¯t help laughing, and threw the building block in his hand to Qiu Zhenyang, who caught it firmly.


    ¡°After all, I¡¯m someone who wants to be with you for a lifetime, so I must have confidence in you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang winked at him with an eyebrow raised.


    Ling Dang, who was immersed in the world of building blocks, finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. Raising her head unhappily, she pouted: ¡°If you want to talk, don¡¯t talk here, okay? I don¡¯t know how to stack anymore!¡±


    ¡°The little princess spoke,¡± Qiu Zhenyang said. Copying Ling Mu, he made a zipper motion on his mouth, and finally calmed down.


    Everyone had a very happy dinner, and the warm, harmonious dinner made everyone feel warm in their hearts. At the same time, Qiu¡¯s father and Qiu¡¯s mother also urged Qiu Haolin. After all, his younger brother already has a prospective partner, but he, the elder brother, has not moved at all, which made them anxious!


    After resting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms.


    This time, Ling Mu was openly brought over by Qiu Zhenyang, who even locked the door to prevent Ling Dang from interrupting them.


    With a smile, he watched Ling Mu take his underwear and pajamas and entered the bathroom. After hearing the sound of water inside, he happily stripped himself outside the door!


    ¡°Hey, Xiao Mumu, I¡¯m here~¡± Qiu Zhenyang, who smiled like an idiot, slammed open the bathroom door, and met Ling Mu¡¯s calm gaze¡­


    ¡°Uh, you knew I was coming?¡±


    Ling Mu said blankly: ¡°It doesn¡¯t suit your character if you don¡¯t come in.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help beaming. ¡°As expected of you, you know me well! Since you guessed I would come in, you must also know what I¡¯m going to do?¡±


    These words were too suggestive, causing Ling Mu¡¯s ears to turn red. He pretended not to hear, and turned his head to shower with his back to Qiu Zhenyang.


    The fragrance of sunflowers lingered, like shyness and longing.


    Looking at the white and smooth silhouette with perfect lines, Qiu Zhenyang felt like he was going to explode! Shutting the bathroom door, his throat rolled, and the moment the bathroom door was completely closed, he rushed towards the person who had a fatal attraction to him¡­


    ¡ª¨C


    Several ** later, Ling Mu¡¯s physical strength was utterly exhausted.


    From the bathroom to the room, from the floor to the big bed, he hardly even had time to rest. Just after one round ended, Qiu Zhenyang would change positions and start the next. Ling Mu only felt that he was floating, swept away, and couldn¡¯t cry out¡­


    Finally, with the bloody and deep tooth marks on his neck, Ling Mu felt that he was floating. Gasping for breath, he stared blankly at the ceiling in Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s embrace.


    This guy really did what he said before, and he will get it all back with interest after the competition is over¡­


    ¡°Are you comfortable?¡± The shameless guy kissed Ling Mu¡¯s cheek again and again. He was full and refreshed!


    ¡°¡­¡± Ling Mu didn¡¯t reply. He had no energy and didn¡¯t want to speak¡­


    Qiu Zhenyang kissed a few more times, lowered his voice, and bit his earlobe. ¡°I love you, Ling Mu.¡±


    In the quiet night, a violent heartbeat, mixed with joy and excitement rushed into his cells.


    Ling Mu tightened his left hand with Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s ten fingers intertwined, and the two rings collided gently, making a light bell ring.


    He closed his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was like the sweetest candy in the world.


    ¡°I love you too, Qiu Zhenyang.¡±


    Hahaha, Ling Dang¡¯s the boss at the end. Stop feeding us dogfood, you two!


    Extra¡¯s coming up next week. Thank you so much Kori for sharing them with me (and everyone else!)

    T/N: Thank you UsageK for the ko-fis that let us wrap up the QZY/Mumu extras this week. Because chapter 99 is 3x longer, the final chapter for AAPCFO will be posted next week.


    After the school league ended, it didn¡¯t take long for the Federation to approve the e-sports competition application. E-sports finally entered the interstellar stage and became a formal profession.


    After winning the school league championship, Qiu Zhenyang, who publicly proposed to Ling Mu, became famous all of a sudden.


    The Qiu family, who has always been very low-key, also announced the good news on various social platforms, saying they¡¯re already discussing the engagement banquet. All entertainment facilities under the First Consortium also celebrated the occasion with discounts on various products and services.


    But after that, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu disappeared from the view of netizens. After all, final exams are coming up. They don¡¯t have time for games, and even Ling Mu¡¯s livestream was suspended, in order to review for the upcoming exams.


    After the final exam, while relaxing, Qiu Zhenyang put discussing the wedding with Ling Mu on the table.


    Right now, the two of them are preparing their luggage to move back for the holidays. Uncle Zhang will come to pick them up in the afternoon.


    ¡°Or a ceremony in mid-February? There¡¯s still about a month, and should be time.¡± Qiu Zhenyang folded the clothes piled up on the bed and handed them to Ling Mu who was squatting on the other side of the suitcase, rubbing his chin with one hand and thinking.


    Ling Mu shook out his messy folded clothes, folded them upright again, and put them neatly into the suitcase. He lowered his eyes and said, ¡°The middle of February, will it be cold?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, it won¡¯t be cold,¡± Qiu Zhenyang snorted proudly. ¡°When the time comes, turn on the heating. I don¡¯t care about others, anyway, and will make sure you won¡¯t freeze.¡±


    The corner of Ling Mu¡¯s mouth hooked slightly, he pressed the clothes in the box firmly. He wanted to stand up with his hands on his knees, but who knew, suddenly, he suddenly felt sick to his stomach. Covering his mouth with one hand, he retched.


    ¡°Ugh¡ª¡±


    The sound startled Qiu Zhenyang, who quickly got up and jumped over to support him. Helping Ling Mu to the bathroom, he asked while walking, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, why do you suddenly feel sick?¡±


    Ling Mu shook his head and said he didn¡¯t know. They had finished lunch, and just came up to pack. A food problem is impossible. How can Qiu Zhenyang cook without being picky? As if things can be made with bad ingredients.


    After entering the bathroom, Ling Mu supported the sink with one hand, poured water into the cup and rinsed his mouth.


    Qiu Zhenyang stood beside him, and said worriedly: ¡°Spit it out? Is it better? If you feel uncomfortable, let¡¯s go to the hospital later.¡±


    Ling Mu shook his head. He wasn¡¯t that weak ¨C it was just a sudden burst of nausea, maybe due to a sudden movement or something. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, walked out when he felt better, and refused. ¡°No, I don¡¯t feel uncomfortable¡­¡±


    Just after he finished saying the word ¡°uncomfortable¡±, Ling Mu heaved again.


    This time the reaction was stronger than before, and his face turned red from vomiting, but still nothing came out.


    This frightened Qiu Zhenyang. He immediately picked him up by the waist and carried him directly to the bed to lie down.


    ¡°I¡¯m really fine, I¡¯m just a little sick. I¡¯m not uncomfortable.¡± Ling Mu was a little dissatisfied with the fact that Qiu Zhenyang could easily hug him. Frowning slightly, his cheeks were puffed up, looking very cute.


    Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help smiling, and pinched his cheek. ¡°Since you¡¯re not uncomfortable, then the vomiting is a sign of pregnancy?¡±


    He was joking, but when he looked up and met Ling Mu¡¯s suddenly serious expression, the smile on the corner of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth froze.


    His little heart started beating wildly, and he shook his lips and said, ¡°No, it can¡¯t? Could it really be¡­¡±


    Ling Mu suddenly pursed his lips, pressed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth with a blushing face, gritted his teeth and said, ¡°What are you going on about? Who said that nausea and wanting to vomit without other signs of discomfort is a sign of¡­ that?  There must be other reasons.¡±


    But even though he denied it, his obviously flustered expression revealed his inner thoughts. Apparently, even Ling Mu felt that this guess might be right.


    Qiu Zhenyang thought about it for a while. The two of them really didn¡¯t pay attention, and didn¡¯t take any measures that first time.


    The main reason is that the two of them knew little about these things. Ling Mu¡¯s mother had never guided him, so naturally he knew nothing about it. As for Qiu Zhenyang, even though he already integrated into this world, some things were still based on his memories of his past world ¨C the idea of two men having children is foreign to him.


    As a result, these two didn¡¯t know anything and didn¡¯t take any precautions.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s emotions were unable to be described. A little remorse. And a vague expectation that Ling Mu might really be pregnant.


    Taking a deep breath to relieve the tension and excitement in his heart, he touched his nose and said to Ling Mu: ¡°Later, when we go back, why don¡¯t we ask Uncle Zhang to take us to the hospital for a checkup? No matter if you¡¯re pregnant or not, we can have them check why you¡¯re uncomfortable, okay?¡±


    Ling Mu knew that he was showing his care, so he relaxed a little. It¡¯s not that he is against the matter of pregnancy, but having it happen so sudden made him nervous. After thinking for a while, he nodded in response, then lowered his head and remained silent.


    After that, they both cleaned up quietly, without saying a word to each other. All their thoughts were on Ling Mu¡¯s stomach.


    When Uncle Zhang received the two young masters at the school gate, he saw that they were both a little out of it.


    Uncle Zhang was a little confused: ¡°Young master, you are¡­¡±


    Only then did Qiu Zhenyang come back to his senses. ¡°Ah, it¡¯s fine. Um, Uncle Zhang, can you take us to the hospital first? Ling Mu is not feeling well, so I want to take him there.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not feeling well?¡± Uncle Zhang became anxious, and said anxiously, ¡°Where? I¡¯ll contact Madam¡¯s hospital right away and let the doctors get ready!¡±


    With such a serious look, those who didn¡¯t know would think someone was sick!


    Qiu Zhenyang was torn between laughter and tears. ¡°Don¡¯t bother, we can just go to the nearest hospital.¡±


    In the end, Uncle Zhang refused to say anything, and even said to them with a serious face: ¡°Even if it is a minor illness, it must be taken seriously. Young Master, Master Ling Mu is your most treasured person, and there must be no negligence!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was helpless against Uncle Zhang¡¯s urging. They were sent to the family hospital in the end.


    This hospital is run by Zhu Qin¡¯s natal family. The doctors are all extremely skilled. And with the backing of the Zhu family, a family of pharmacists, they are given priority to all kinds of medicines.


    After the examination, the final result was that Ling Mu was indeed pregnant!


    When he came out of the hospital, Qiu Zhenyang had a giant goofy grin. Ling Mu was led away by him in a daze. And Uncle Zhang was excited!


    Almost immediately, he called Zhu Qin to let her know the good news!


    On the way back, the smile on the corners of Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s mouth never faded, and even once gave Ling Mu the illusion that he was about to cry tears of joy.


    Suppressing his complicated emotions, Ling Mu rubbed his neck. After all, he was still unprepared for the news and is still coming to terms with it. Seeing Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s stupid appearance, he couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°Are you so happy?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang controlled the grin that was about to spread from ear to ear, and replied: ¡°Of course! You are pregnant with my child, how could I be unhappy?¡±


    He even stretched out his hand like an idiot, put it gently on Ling Mu¡¯s stomach, and said intoxicatedly, ¡°The baby seems to be kicking me~ Do you feel it?¡±


    Ling Mu glanced speechlessly at his foolish expression. ¡°What¡¯s going on in your head? I don¡¯t feel anything at all, you¡¯re just hallucinating.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang clicked his tongue twice, with a mysterious expression on his face. ¡°You don¡¯t know this, do you? This is the unique connection between me as a father and my child. If you can¡¯t feel it, it must be because your connection with the child is not close. In this way, the child still likes me more~¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s excitement almost reached the moon with news of the pregnancy.


    Ling Mu gave him a blank look, not wanting to talk to this fool.


    Speaking of pregnancy, there is another thing to be concerned about. That is, the child in Ling Mu¡¯s stomach is actually almost three months old. All in all, they almost won the lottery on their first night.


    Because an omegas constitution is special, male omegas pregnancy reaction is different from female omegas, which is why Ling Mu didn¡¯t have any morning sickness until the third month of pregnancy.


    This was quite a shock to Ling Mu, but Qiu Zhenyang was obviously calmer than him.


    The main reason was that, after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that in the original book, Ling Mu and the original body won the lottery their first time.1this should¡¯ve been when Ling Mu¡¯s inhibitor failed during the Interstellar Academy assessment; re: when QZY transmigrated throughTherefore, it¡¯s not surprising that Ling Mu won the lottery during those crazy days they didn¡¯t use any protective measures.


    When they got home, Zhu Qin acted as if she was Ling Mu¡¯s bodyguard, never straying more than 10 steps away since Ling Mu got off the aircraft.


    She checked on him almost non-stop, and at the same time, in the kitchen, she was also arranging the kitchen to prepare some nourishing foods suitable for pregnancy.


    Because Ling Mu¡¯s mouth was already trained by Qiu Zhenyang, so for Ling Mu¡¯s sake, Qiu Zhenyang made the recipe himself and asked the chef to cook for Ling Mu according to the recipe.


    Fortunately, he had a friend who had a pregnant wife before, so he studied recipes for pregnant women for a while. There are also some relevant recipes in the interstellar, so after studying it himself, he made some adjustments and cooked it himself. After all, his morning sickness came late and abruptly, so Qiu Zhenyang was still very concerned.


    In addition to food, Zhu Qin also asked the servants to immediately purchase some things that pregnant parents need. Whether it is daily necessities or food and clothing, they must be strictly prepared for Ling Mu.


    Hearing Zhu Qin giving the housekeeper instructions one by one, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu sat on the sofa, listening with a confused expression. The two of them were a little confused by Zhu Qin¡¯s slew of actions.


    ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t need to be so nervous?¡±


    It¡¯s not that Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t want Ling Mu to receive better treatment, but Zhu Qin¡¯s actions made him even more nervous. In particular, he¡¯s worried about Ling Mu. After all, Ling Mu is a man, will it be painful for him to have children? Where is the child going to come from? Will it cause him bodily harm?


    Thinking of this, Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s face turned pale.


    Probably amused by Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s sudden change of expression, Zhu Qin burst out laughing: ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, I¡¯m just making thorough preparations. After all, I¡¯ve given birth to children, so I understand what¡¯s needed. This way, you two can avoid the hassle of buying things later.¡±


    Ling Mu was also a little nervous at them fussing around, and kept his hands on his abdomen.


    His stomach isn¡¯t showing yet, but the original thin, firm lines of his abdomen have softened a lot.


    ¡°Okay, okay, stop loitering around, and bring Ling Mu to the room to rest. I¡¯ll call you when it¡¯s dinnertime.¡± Zhu Qin drove them away. She still has other things to prepare, and all Qiu Zhenyang knows is how to bother her.


    So, the expectant father was driven back to the bedroom.

 CH 98

    The fact that Ling Mu was pregnant made everyone in the Qiu family nervous.


    At the same time, because they were worried that Ling Mu would be affected, the family planned to skip the engagement directly, and hold the wedding ceremony directly after Ling Mu gave birth.


    There aren¡¯t many rules about these types of things due to the nature of the estrus period. AO couples who have accidentally conceived children will often wait for the child to be born before holding a wedding.


    Apart from that, after the winter vacation is over, Qiu Zhenyang will be able to accompany Ling Mu to recuperate and study at home. They specially invited teachers to teach them, instead of going to school.


    When he was four months pregnant, Ling Mu¡¯s morning sickness completely disappeared. And after six months, his appetite improved.


    This started because he saw a certain shop with good dim sum on the terminal, so Qiu Zhenyang took him to find this shop more than 20 kilometers away, and ordered a bunch of dimsum for Ling Mu to try.


    Coincidentally, the dimsum in this restaurant is actually improvisations of the First Consortium¡¯s dimsum. With professional innovation, the taste and appearance was more than a little bit better. Such situations were happening on a large scale across the Interstellar. According to most, the First Consortium led a new wave in the entire food and catering industry.


    ¡°This is delicious.¡± Ling Mu nodded as he ate, his face sparkling with joy from the food.


    There was a dollop of cream hanging around his mouth, but he didn¡¯t notice it, and he brought the small cake he just tried towards Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s lips with a serious face. ¡°Try this, it¡¯s delicious.¡±


    Seeing this, Qiu Zhenyang smiled slightly and lowered his head, licking the cream from the corner of Ling Mu¡¯s lips into his mouth with the tip of his tongue.


    ¡°En, it¡¯s delicious, really sweet.¡±


    The sudden warmth at the corner of his mouth stunned Ling Mu. Raising his hand to wipe his mouth and hide his embarrassment, he shot a glare at the other party. ¡°Pay attention to etiquette!¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled shamelessly. Turning his head, he saw a snack seller outside, and pointed to ask Ling Mu, ¡°Do you want to eat that?¡±


    ¡°Mom said I can¡¯t eat too much, or the fetus will be too big to be born.¡± Ling Mu looked at the person beside him in a preaching manner.


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows: ¡°So do you want to eat?¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s expression remained unchanged: ¡°Eat.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was immediately amused, and rubbed Ling Mu¡¯s head. ¡°I¡¯ll buy it for you to try, and cut the sweetness. Don¡¯t force yourself; I¡¯ll take care of what you can¡¯t finish.¡±


    He is now Ling Mu¡¯s exclusive trash can. Ling Mu was greedy during pregnancy, and in order not to let him eat too much, Qiu Zhenyang would stare at him while he ate. Ling Mu could eat a little to satisfy his hunger, but he would solve the rest himself.


    Qiu Zhenyang went, leaving Ling Mu to continue eating cakes.


    After eating a few, someone came to the table.


    Ling Mu looked up, and saw a thin and handsome man. He seemed to be about the same age as him, but he didn¡¯t have much of an impression of this person.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you Junior Ling Mu? Why are you eating here alone?¡± The visitor sat down across the table with a distant and indifferent smile.


    Ling Mu has always been sensitive. Sensing the other party¡¯s hostility, his eyes drooped and he was too lazy to answer.


    ¡°Huh, you don¡¯t greet your seniors? After being with Junior Qiu for so long, you don¡¯t even know basic manners?¡± Although the man was smiling, his words were aggressive.


    Ling Mu¡¯s nose itched, and he raised his head slightly. ¡°Who are you?¡±


    The cheeks of the person opposite twitched: ¡°My name is Li Zhen, your senior.¡±


    The two of them have never met, so Ling Mu doesn¡¯t know him. It¡¯s just that Li Zhen couldn¡¯t accept being rejected by Qiu Zhenyang at the start of the school year, and kept paying attention to his affairs, so he knew Ling Mu and his appearance.


    The unhappiness in his heart gradually turned into jealousy, and Li Zhen looked at Ling Mu sarcastically: ¡°Isn¡¯t everyone saying that Junior Qiu loves you like a treasure, why is everyone gone now?¡±


    These sour words gave Ling Mu a clue. After all, Qiu Zhenyang has many suitors.


    After being pregnant, Ling Mu¡¯s temper was even worse. Usually, Qiu Zhenyang coaxes him so he won¡¯t lose his temper, but Ling Mu naturally didn¡¯t welcome this random upperclassman. ¡°None of your business.¡±


    This performance of three points of contempt and seven points of indifference instantly made Li Zhen blush.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t know why Junior Qiu fell in love with you. Not to mention vulgar and ugly, you really can¡¯t be seen in public!¡± Li Zhen viciously added another sentence, ¡°There¡¯s still no news about the engagement banquet. Junior Qiu must have realized your true face, and doesn¡¯t want you!¡±


    It¡¯s not surprising that Li Zhen would have such conjectures. After all, three months have passed since the day Qiu Zhenyang proposed, but there was no news from the Qiu family. Later, it became known that Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu applied for leave this semester. Many people here are wondering if something happened.


    Ling Mu frowned and looked at him impatiently: ¡°Does it have something to do with you? Oh, even if Qiu Zhenyang doesn¡¯t want me, it¡¯s impossible for him to fall in love with you.¡±


    Enraged by these words, Li Zhen¡¯s temper peaked. He slapped the table directly, looking like he was about to roar at Ling Mu.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I want you? Why don¡¯t I want you anymore?¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s displeased words rang in the ears of the two of them. Li Zhen¡¯s body froze, and he turned his head to look, but Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t even pause to look at him, and went directly to sit down beside Ling Mu and pinch his nose.


    Ling Mu dodged with a slight frown. ¡°It¡¯s just a hypothetical.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not, it¡¯s simply impossible.¡± Qiu Zhenyang pretended to be angry and stuffed the fresh skewers in his hand towards Ling Mu¡¯s mouth.


    Ling Mu glanced at him, but obediently grabbed the stick and ate it.


    After feeding him like no one else was around, Qiu Zhenyang looked at the embarrassed Li Zhen indifferently.


    ¡°Senior Li, long time no see.¡± His tone was unfamiliar, completely different from the pampering and playfulness when he talked to Ling Mu just now.


    ¡°Junior Qiu¡­¡± Li Zhen smiled weakly, feeling a little uncomfortable. But when he caught a glimpse of Ling Mu¡¯s obviously rounded cheeks and that slightly stout waist hidden under slightly thicker clothes, he was immediately full of confidence. ¡°You two have such a good relationship, going shopping together~ I really envy Ling Mu who can eat without any scruples. But I can¡¯t. If I gain weight, I won¡¯t even dare to leave the house.¡±


    Ling Mu paused for a while when he was eating skewers, and then turned his body slightly.


    Obstacle.


    Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s actions, Li Zhen thought he was uncomfortable with his words and was about to celebrate when he heard Qiu Zhenyang drop a bombshell: ¡°He is pregnant, and you are not pregnant. How can you compare?¡±


    ¡°Pregnant¡­ Pregnant?¡± Li Zhen almost bit his tongue in fright. His beautiful eyes widened instantly in disbelief.


    The Qiu family did not leak any information about Ling Mu¡¯s pregnancy. This was also requested by the to-be parents who wanted to give birth to the child safely.


    ¡°We¡¯ve already marked each other, is it strange to be pregnant?¡± Seeing Li Zhen¡¯s shocked face, Qiu Zhenyang smiled coldly. ¡°I also hope that Senior Li will help us keep this secret. We don¡¯t want to be disturbed by others before the child is born.¡±


    Li Zhen nodded blankly, as if he had been greatly stimulated.


    Before he could recover, Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu¡¯s hand, got up to pay the bill, and left.


    After leaving the store, Ling Mu¡¯s mood was obviously not very good. He frowned with a look of bitterness and hatred, and looked quite irritable.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qiu Zhenyang knew that Ling Mu¡¯s temper is more difficult to control because of pregnancy, so his tone was soft.


    Ling Mu looked up at him. Recalling Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s actions just now, he felt a lot better, but he still said sourly: ¡°How many other juniors and seniors do you know? We can even bump into someone interested in you when coming out to eat.¡±


    The style of these words is really not something Ling Mu would say normally. Qiu Zhenyang chuckled when he heard it, and coughed lightly after being glared at by Ling Mu. Restraining the smile on his face, he replied: ¡°Don¡¯t we eat and live together? The rest of the time we¡¯re not together, I¡¯m basically with Zhuo Hang and the others. How can I find time to get to know others?¡±


    ¡°Then what about the one just now?¡± Ling Mu glanced at him again. Although he knew that what Qiu Zhenyang said was true, he still felt a little uncomfortable.


    Qiu Zhenyang explained patiently: ¡°I met that senior a few times at the beginning of semester, but I haven¡¯t seen him much after that.¡±


    Even though that¡¯s what he said, Qiu Zhenyang noticed that Li Zhen always found time to hang out in front of him from time to time last semester. If Qiu Zhenyang hadn¡¯t really turned a blind eye to him, Li Zhen would not have given up so easily.


    ¡°My baby is so good-looking when he¡¯s jealous~¡± Realizing that Ling Mu was being jealous, Qiu Zhenyang was in a great mood. Wrapping one arm around him, he pinched the tender flesh on Ling Mu¡¯s face with the other.


    Having his cheeks pinched for a while, Ling Mu¡¯s discomfort vanished, and he no longer pursued the issue.


    It is said that omegas are very sensitive during pregnancy; especially when it comes to feelings. Ling Mu felt this as well. But the sense of security that Qiu Zhenyang gave him was really substantial, and Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s coaxing made him feel very comfortable each time.


    After strolling around aimlessly, the two went to look at baby products.


    Ever since Ling Mu became pregnant, the family would go to these stores every time they saw them. Because they were not sure about the sex of the baby, they simply bought both blue and pink clothes, daily necessities, and toys.


    Now the family has readied a full baby¡¯s room. Most things have been prepared, and they¡¯re just waiting for the arrival of the baby.


    ¡°There are enough things in the house. We don¡¯t need to buy anything else.¡± Ling Mu couldn¡¯t help saying as he was led by Qiu Zhenyang into the store. The things prepared already filled a large pile half the size of the room.


    Qiu Zhenyang squeezed his palm. ¡°Although there are many things, there¡¯s still some missing. Let¡¯s see if there are any missing things and buy them back as soon as possible, so we won¡¯t have to worry later.¡±


    Hearing what he said, Ling Mu didn¡¯t refute anymore, and followed him to the shop.


    A clerk immediately came up to greet them with a smile. At first glance, the two of them were very affectionate. And even though it wasn¡¯t exaggerated, the rounded stomach was obvious.


    After ordering another batch of things in the store, the young couple went home happily. As for the things they bought, the store would send someone to deliver it later.


    Mumu & QZY¡¯s baby will be born in the next chapter.

 CH 99.1

    When Ling Mu¡¯s belly was at nine months, Qiu Zhenyang began to fret needlessly.


    As soon as Ling Mu frowns, he will immediately stand up nervously, and ask, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you feel unwell? Do you want to call the doctor?¡±


    Ling Mu wasn¡¯t nervous at first, but Qiu Zhenyang made him nervous later.


    Qiu Zhenyang was by Ling Mu¡¯s side almost all the time after Ling Mu went to stay at the hospital. He learned a lot of things in advance, and continued to look after Ling Mu, to a greater degree than anyone expected.


    ¡°No need to support me.¡± Ling Mu felt deeply helpless as he was carefully supported by Qiu Zhenyang as they walked around the hospital garden. ¡°I¡¯m just pregnant, not disable. I can walk slowly.¡±


    There are only two or three days before his due date. Each day Qiu Zhenyang would accompany Ling Mu out for a walk every day. The doctor said that this would help make the delivery less stressful.


    Qiu Zhenyang hesitated for a while, but eventually let go. Of course, he added with a worried face, ¡°Okay, then walk slowly. I¡¯ll be by your side. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, please tell me quickly, so I can carry you back.¡±


    His appearance is really conspicuous, catching the eyes of a few old folks in hospital gowns to joke: ¡°Ah, that kid really loves his wife. When my wife was about to give birth, I was on a business trip, so I could only make a phone call every day to ask if the child was born.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that right? Most alphas are too career-minded. They don¡¯t think their spouse or kid is as important as the contract in their hands. Not many are like that kid.¡±


    All of a sudden, everyone began praising Qiu Zhenyang. Even Ling Mu was embarrassed to hear it.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s cheeky smile made his white teeth shine, his eyes curved into slits, and he whispered into Ling Mu¡¯s ear, asking for credit, ¡°Look, look how good I am. Everyone praises me! Aren¡¯t you happy to have such a husband?¡±


    Amused, Ling Mu grabbed Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s arm that was vainly warped around his waist, and squeezed it not so gently: ¡°You are amazing.¡±1re: the italics are to highlight LM¡¯s sarcastic tone


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes changed at the pinch, and he moved hand away. ¡°Are you seducing me? I haven¡¯t had sex for a long time. Every move you make is a kind of temptation to me now.¡±


    The sudden change of topic stunned Ling Mu, who snorted indifferently.¡±What are you thinking about?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang bared his teeth, and deliberately put on a vicious expression: ¡°I¡¯m thinking about how to do you hard after you recover after giving birth!¡±


    Speaking of this, Qiu Zhenyang was really aggrieved. Pregnant omegas will need a lot of alpha pheromones, so he will always stick to Qiu Zhenyang to ask for pheromones. Out of concern for Ling Mu¡¯s well-being, Qiu Zhenyang can only be careful and affectionate, for fear of hurting his partner. The intensity and number of times have decreased significantly, causing him to linger in a state of dissatisfaction.


    In short, when Ling Mu¡¯s health recovers, he will not let him go!


    Seen by Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s wolf-like eyes, Ling Mu felt so stressed that he could only continue to walk forward slowly with his big belly out.


    Today¡¯s weather is good. Although it¡¯s already the beginning of August, it rained a couple days ago, so it wasn¡¯t too stuffy out. The gentle sunlight and clear air is very pleasant.


    Qiu Zhenyang walked with Ling Mu for a while, before bringing him back to the room. It¡¯s a special period now, and he doesn¡¯t dare to take Ling Mu out too often, so they walked around the room slowly.


    Not long after going back to the  room, Ling Mu suddenly felt a stomachache.


    Qiu Zhenyang, who was focused on Ling Mu all the time, immediately noticed the frown. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, your stomach hurts?¡±


    Ling Mu opened his mouth, and as soon as he said ¡°En¡±, Qiu Zhenyang hugged him. Carefully avoiding the big and round belly, he put him gently on the bed, and then pressed the call bell.


    After a while, a nurse came over to check on the situation. When she learned that Ling Mu¡¯s stomach started to hurt, she went to check on him.


    ¡°You¡¯re in labor, I¡¯ll go to arrange the delivery.¡± The nurse hurriedly contacted the doctor and midwife, and began to make arrangements.


    Knowing that Ling Mu was about to give birth, Zhu Qin, who was still preparing lunch at home, rushed over in a hurry. Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin couldn¡¯t leave, so they could only send messages to Qiu Zhenyang to keep them abreast of the situation.


    When Zhu Qin came over, she brought some fresh soup to help Ling Mu replenish his strength. Qiu Zhenyang stayed beside Ling Mu, helping him up and walking around from time to time.


    After waiting more than ten hours, Ling Mu¡¯s amniotic fluid broke and he was directly pushed into the delivery room.


    Zhu Qin was extremely nervous, even more nervous than when she gave birth. Occasionally, she glanced at her son pacing back and forth with a pale face and bloodshot eyes. She hurriedly said: ¡°Your face is so pale, come and sit for a while.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang grabbed Zhu Qin¡¯s hand, and asked in an unstable tone: ¡°Mom, Ling Mu is screaming so hard¡­Can I go in?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang wanted to go in to accompany Ling Mu earlier, but was pushed out by the nurses. Ling Mu didn¡¯t want him to witness the birth, insisting he go out, so Qiu Zhenyang could only wait outside the door.


    ¡°Why do you go in, to cause trouble? See how nervous you are now ¨C maybe Ling Mu will come back to comfort you later.¡± Zhu Qin knew that her son wanted to help, but couldn¡¯t, so he could only frown and stare at the delivery room door.


    Ling Mu was indeed screaming quite loudly. He can usually tolerate pain, yet he actually cried out this. It¡¯s no wonder that Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help wanting to rush in.


    Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes were red, and he couldn¡¯t stop walking around outside the delivery room. The louder the cries of pain inside, the tighter his fists clenched. Finally he took a deep breath and leaned against the wall without moving.


    On the other side, Zhu Qin felt amused and distressed. She walked over and patted her son¡¯s shoulder, not saying anything, and waited with him.


    No one knew how long it took, but the loud cry of a baby finally broke through the door. Qiu Zhenyang immediately let go of his pale hands from being clenched so tightly, and approached the door with a face full of surprise: ¡°It¡¯s born!¡±


    Zhu Qin also patted her chest. The worry on her face turned into a smile, and the corners of her eyes and brows were full of joy.


    Not long after, both the child and Ling Mu were pushed out. Before Qiu Zhenyang had time to glance at the child, he was frightened by the pale-faced Ling Mu who was pushed out. He immediately ran over to hold Ling Mu¡¯s hand and raised his head to ask the doctor: ¡°Doctor, how is he, is he okay?¡±


    The doctor who delivered the baby took off his mask and said with a smile, ¡°Father and baby are safe. Your husband is in good health and paid great attention during pregnancy, so he didn¡¯t suffer too much.¡±


    Hearing this, Qiu Zhenyang finally let go of his worries. Seeing Ling Mu¡¯s tired eyes, he touched his sweaty forehead, and kissed him gently on the forehead. ¡°Sleep well, thank you for your hard work.¡±


    Ling Mu¡¯s eyelids drooped twice, and fell asleep peacefully.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª-


    When he woke up again, Ling Mu had already been placed in a confinement room.


    The room was climate controlled, making it warm and comfortable for him.


    Ling Mu yawned, and there was a numb soreness in his lower body. It wasn¡¯t uncomfortable, but his body was very weak. Qiu Zhenyang carefully cleaned him up under the guidance of the nurses before.


    ¡°Are you awake? Are you hungry? Eat something first.¡± Qiu Zhenyang came in from the door. Seeing Ling Mu awake, his heart suddenly softened.


    Inside the insulated box were foods suitable for parents who had just given birth. There are also soups and sweets, which are all Ling Mu¡¯s favorites.


    Seeing Qiu Zhenyang busy setting up a small table on the bed, Ling Mu looked around and couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Where¡¯s the child?¡±


    After setting out the food, Qiu Zhenyang filled a bowl of soup for Ling Mu and handed it over. ¡°The child is in the family room next door. Mom is watching. She didn¡¯t hug him over since she¡¯s afraid of disturbing your rest.¡±


    Ling Mu was relieved. Drinking the hot soup, he remembered the baby the doctor let him look at before with a tangled expression. ¡°Are all newborn babies¡­ like that?¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang was stunned for a moment, and then couldn¡¯t help laughing out loud. ¡°Do you think our baby is ugly? Tsk tsk, how sad it would be if our baby heard you!¡±


    His exaggerated expression made Ling Mu flush. He couldn¡¯t help raising his hand to slap the other party. ¡°What are you talking about, I don¡¯t think¡­ he¡¯s not good-looking, I¡¯m just asking!¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, I know.¡± Qiu Zhenyang was hit without pain. The smile on his face deepened as he picked up some food for Ling Mu.


    Baby is born!

    As soon as he was half full, Ling Mu couldn¡¯t wait to see the baby. ¡°I want to see my child.¡±


    With slightly excited eyes, Qiu Zhenyang pressed him gently back down on the bed. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go and pick up the baby. You eat fruit first. I¡¯ll clean it up later.¡±


    Ling Mu nodded obediently, and watched him go out.


    In the next room, Zhu Qin was feeding the baby. Seeing Qiu Zhenyang coming in, she asked, ¡°Ling Mu is awake? Has he eaten yet?¡±


    ¡°Almost done eating. He wants to see the baby.¡±


    Zhu Qin handed the bottle to Qiu Zhenyang. Picking up the baby skillfully, she wrapped the quilt and walked out, shaking slightly while walking, and said in a childish coaxing tone: ¡°Ah, little one, let¡¯s go to see daddy~ go see daddy~¡±


    Turning around a wall, Zhu Qin lovingly carried her little grandson over to Ling Mu.  Seeing that the latter was agitated and didn¡¯t know how to hold properly, she taught him patiently. ¡°Here, a bit higher¡­ just like that, the child will be very comfortable.¡±


    Ling Mu learned in a hurry, blushing nervously.


    Qiu Zhenyang had already moved the small table on the bed to one side, and then sat by the bed and looked at his wife and child dotingly. Seeing his family captured in his eyes made him feel a sense of stability. The taste of happiness intertwined with his body, and warm pheromones gently rippled in the room.


    Ling Mu looked down, the soft bundle on his hand was almost weightless. The child was wrinkled and small. Red-faced and not good-looking, but very cute. The sight hooked the tip of his heart, wishing to give all his love to this little one.


    Originally, after living in such a family and being an omega, he never thought of having a child in his life. Now he not only has children, but Qiu Zhenyang and the warm care of the Qiu family.


    Ling Mu felt very happy.


    ¡°The child is so good. He hardly cried after falling asleep, and only made a few noises when hungry.¡± Zhu Qin took the bottle from Qiu Zhenyang and handed it to Ling Mu. ¡°Come on, give it a try.¡±


    Ling Mu took the bottle and carefully pointed the nipple to the small soft lips. He heaved an unconscious sigh of relief when the tiny mouth opened and latched onto the mouthpiece.


    Seeing how nervous he was, Qiu Zhenyang couldn¡¯t help smiling, continuing to watch.


    Zhu Qin stayed for a while. Although she was a little bit reluctant, she eventually got up and prepared to leave.


    Ling Mu¡¯s confinement wouldn¡¯t be fully spent in the hospital. Zhu Qin has already hired two nannies dedicated to serving both parent and child, and everything was prepared at home. After going back, she¡¯ll make final arrangements, and come back to pick Ling Mu up in three or four days.


    Young couples need space; they don¡¯t need her, an older person present.


    After his mother left, Qiu Zhenyang acted a lot more boldly. Sitting on the edge of the bed close to Ling Mu¡¯s side, he wrapped an arm around his waist, resting his head on Ling Mu¡¯s shoulder as he looked down at the child in his arms.


    Ling Mu didn¡¯t respond, his eyes were still fixed on the baby in his arms.


    The room was quiet and warm for a while.


    When he was full, the little child wrinkled his face and spat out the nipple. Wriggling lightly in Ling Mu¡¯s arms, he yawned a little and fell asleep. Everything was a novelty in Ling Mu¡¯s eyes, as he watched his baby fall asleep in his arms.


    Afraid of tiring him out, Qiu Zhenyang took the child from his arms and put it in the incubator beside them. When he turned around and saw Ling Mu staring at the incubator eagerly, he couldn¡¯t help chuckling. ¡°Really so precious?¡±


    ¡°My child, of course he¡¯s precious.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, walked over and bent down, kissed Ling Mu¡¯s lips like a dragonfly. ¡°Our child.¡±


    Ling Mu pursed his lips and smiled, before being pressed back into bed by Qiu Zhenyang to lie down. The latter shamelessly squeezed beside him, but didn¡¯t get into the quilt. Instead, he wrapped his wife tightly, and patted his chest like a child: ¡°Okay, sleep, you need to rest. ¡°


    With the heater turned on, Ling Mu wasn¡¯t worried that Qiu Zhenyang would freeze. He wanted to say that he wasn¡¯t sleepy, but after seeing the black eye circles and Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s thinned cheeks, he knew that he was really tired from taking care of him, so he didn¡¯t speak again.


    After a while, there was a slight snoring sound next to his ears. Ling Mu listened and also fell asleep at some point.


    ¡ª¡ª¨C


    After the Qiu family¡¯s wedding invitation was sent out, nearly everyone in the Federation was shocked.


    The Qiu family had released news that the second son was about to get engaged, but almost a year passed without any movement, so everyone thought that the marriage would not happen. As a result, now, the family skipped the engagement process and got married directly!


    He even has children!


    The invitation card was sent through the terminal, containing a dynamic picture of a young couple leaning together, hugging a child, and smiling happily. All rumors about their marriage failing were shattered, and a huge wave set off online again.


    Qiu Zhenyang has a very high reputation among the younger generation now. After all, he was the force behind e-sports becoming a popular, formal profession. As soon as the news of his marriage was sent out, netizens exploded, sending many blessings.


    Originally, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu didn¡¯t want to hold a grand wedding because it¡¯s too troublesome. However, considering that there was no engagement banquet, and the child is also one-month old, it was difficult to insist.1one-month ¡®birthday¡¯ is often celebrated in Chinese LNs


    The wedding was finally held on the small test planet belonging to the Interstellar Academy. The location was decided after discussion between Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu.


    For Ling Mu, it¡¯s where his relationship with Qiu Zhenyang first began. And for Qiu Zhenyang, it¡¯s the place he first arrived when he transmigrated over.


    In fact, the environment on the planet is harsh, and is not a good place to hold a wedding banquet. But, for the First Consortium Group, holding a grand wedding on a small planet is completely trivial.


    There¡¯s nothing that money can¡¯t solve!


    The venue chosen is the docking spot where the starships picked the students back up before. There is a large open space surrounded by dense forests, which is convenient for guests to come, and there¡¯s ample space for a temporary building.


    While taking care of Ling Mu and the child, Qiu Zhenyang carefully read the blueprints given by the architect. He paid great attention to their wedding. Even if he didn¡¯t know anything about architecture, he wanted to review all aspects of it.


    Fortunately, the top architect of the First Consortium is capable of both innovation and integration, and many suggestions put forward by Qiu Zhenyang can be absorbed and adopted. Interstellar weddings are different from Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s previous world, but after the redesign, the integrated elements created an even more amazing effect.


    Under excellent teamwork, the wedding was held as scheduled. It was a joyful and grand occasion.


    The faces of the Qiu family were full of smiles, Zhu Qin hugged her little grandson, and Ling Dang was led by Qiu Haolin. Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s grandparents and grandparents also sat together, teasing the grandchildren from time to time.


    The rest of the guests were also very curious about Interstellar Academy¡¯s entrance exam planet because of how peculiar the environment was. Many went to walk around the nearby jungle. The First Consortium carried clean-up activities in preparation for the wedding, so any poisonous species were eliminated, and special bodyguards were stationed at the edges of the wilderness to remind guests to stop.


    As the lively wedding continued, it didn¡¯t take long before someone realized that the two protagonists were missing.


    ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± Ling Mu was wearing a white suit today. The slim cut enhanced his long straight legs, making him seem handsome and energetic. He had just ¡°escaped¡± from the wedding banquet with Qiu Zhenyang, leaving behind a table of friends who were still drinking and laughing.


    ¡°You¡¯ll know when we get there.¡± Qiu Zhenyang bent his lips, his eyes filled with sparkling stars. He exuded an aristocratic atmosphere today, and his handsome appearance made many young ladies present cry with regret.


    Where do you think they¡¯re going?

 CH 99.3

    The two protagonists were getting farther and farther away from the wedding venue, venturing into the lush forest. Qiu Zhenyang protected Ling Mu behind him, breaking any overhanging branches and trampling down the dense grass.


    It was only after seeing a familiar cave that Ling Mu realized where Qiu Zhenyang brought him.


    ¡°You really have nothing to do to come here. Can¡¯t you come later?¡± Ling Mu felt a little helpless. They¡¯re wearing expensive suits today, and Qiu Zhenyang is a bit too carefree.


    However, after saying so, Ling Mu didn¡¯t say anything.


    He also wanted to come back.


    ¡°Fortunately, our clothes are coated with a waterproof film this time, otherwise they would be wet again.¡± Qiu Zhenyang patted the water droplets off Ling Mu¡¯s body, and couldn¡¯t help wiping a few more times.


    Ling Mu mercilessly pulled his hand off and looked around, but it was still so deserted and simple.


    ¡°Actually, there¡¯s nothing to see.¡± He wasn¡¯t in the mood to pay attention before and couldn¡¯t remember anything special about this place. The encounter with Qiu Zhenyang was more meaningful.


    After looking around for a while, Ling Mu asked Qiu Zhenyang a question that had been held in his heart for a long time: ¡°I thought that according to your personality, you would directly mark me at the beginning, rather show that level of patience and give me a temporary mark. Logically speaking, very few alphas can hold back in that situation.¡±


    His eyes were pure black and beautiful, and his face, which was nourished to be white and tender by Qiu Zhenyang, was expressionless. But there was an imperceptible gentleness in his eyes.


    Qiu Zhenyang smiled, stretched out his hand to wrap around Ling Mu¡¯s narrow waist. Bending slightly, he put his chin on his shoulder, and said vaguely: ¡°Your husband is amazing, I wouldn¡¯t do that to you. Unless you¡¯re willing. Otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have touched you.¡±


    Ling Mu raised his eyebrows: ¡°It can¡¯t be because you hate me so much?¡±


    AD


    Qiu Zhenyang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: ¡°Even if I didn¡¯t like you at the time, I never hated you¡­¡±


    It¡¯s a small lie. After all, he¡¯s not the original owner. It would be more unbelievable to say he had some feelings for Ling Mu back then.


    ¡°Also, if I really hated you, I wouldn¡¯t have taken your feelings into account, and would have marked you directly, right in that rainforest, so that you can¡¯t resist becoming mine.¡± Qiu Zhenyang¡¯s eyes lit up brightly. It was precisely because he felt pity for Ling Mu¡¯s life experience in the original text at that time that he was conscientious and insistent back then.


    Seeing his sincere gaze, Ling Mu pursed his lower lip and blushed slightly, ending the line of inquiry.


    Seeing the ruddy face made Qiu Zhenyang feel hot inside. Hooking Ling Mu¡¯s chin with his hand, he moved his lips forward to kiss his cheek lightly, and then let go shyly.


    ¡°Say, do you want to do something to commemorate?¡± Qiu Zhenyang rubbed his chin and thought about it seriously.


    Ling Mu glanced at it: ¡°Is there anything to commemorate? People may come here every year, and it might be destroyed at any time.¡±


    Qiu Zhenyang thought about it again, and could only sigh as he looked wistfully around the cave.


    AD


    Seeing this, Ling Mu softened his heart: ¡°If you really want to commemorate, I can accompany you to see it every year. Anyway, if you talk to the principal, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to visit once in a while.¡±


    That¡¯s right, then it¡¯s decided!


    After listening to his wife¡¯s opinion, Qiu Zhenyang slowly swayed back to the wedding scene with Ling Mu, arm in arm.


    Seeing the protagonists reappear, Yuan Chenyu grinned and rushed forward: ¡°Okay, Qiu Zhenyang, it¡¯s your wedding and you have the guts to run away!¡±1


    Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, and pouted at his mother who was holding his child: ¡°Isn¡¯t my kid here?¡±2


    Guan Tang couldn¡¯t stop laughing when he heard this, and winked at Yuan Chenyu: ¡°Hurry up, get a child out to shut his mouth!¡±


    On one side, Zhuo Hang narrowed his eyes a fraction.


    ¡°How¡¯s that easy?¡± Yuan Chenyu rolled his eyes, then looked up and down at Qiu Zhenyang, with a malicious smile. ¡°Did you drag Ling Mu out to do bad things? Tsk tsk tsk! You already have children, how shameless!¡±


    After being scolded, even if nothing happened, Ling Mu felt his face was hot. Pursing his lips, he went to go see his child.


    Seeing his wife fleeing from shame, Qiu Zhenyang immediately raised an arm to clamp Yuan Chenyu¡¯s neck: ¡°You really dare to say it! En? What¡¯s the matter? Can¡¯t bear watching out love, and feel envious and hate us? Do you want me to help you look?¡±


    AD


    Yuan Chenyu¡¯s face was flushed, and he immediately begged for mercy: ¡°Oh my god, don¡¯t dare! Qiu Zhenyang, let me go! Don¡¯t mess up my hair! Zhuo Hang, what are you doing watching, save me quickly! ¡°


    It¡¯s a pity that Zhuo Hang had an expression of staying out of the matter, and even had a smile in his eyes as he watched the fun.


    Several teammates also gathered around, gloating at Yuan Chenyu¡¯s suffering.


    Not far away, seeing his son laughing and arguing with friends, Qiu Zhang felt both joy and frustration, wishing he could drag him over to deal with guests with him.


    The Qiu family will definitely invite many nobles and powerful people, not to mention old comrades in arms, who are also powerful and prestigious. Qiu Zhenyang didn¡¯t like such occasions, so Qiu Zhang and Qiu Haolin were forced to play host all day.


    Zhu Qin was watching the baby with Ling Dang. After Ling Mu came over, he took care of it with her.


    Ling Dang was very curious about her little nephew. He was soft and small. After the child returned to Qiu¡¯s house, she would stick to Ling Mu to watch the child after school every day.


    A one-month old baby is still very young, wrapped warmly in a quilt, and sound asleep with his mouth slightly open. As if sensing Ling Mu¡¯s breath, his little head shook slightly. Big, black, grape-like eyes opened slightly, and he snorted at Zhu Qin twice.


    Zhu Qin¡¯s heart almost melted, and she shook the baby twice: ¡°Oh, the baby woke up~¡±


    Ling Mu leaned over to look. The child blinked his eyes, and immediately moved his little hand, as if he was about to grab something. ¡°Ah-ah¨C¡°


    ¡°I want daddy to hug me. Baby likes to cling to daddy. When papa3 comes, he also has to stand aside, hahaha!¡± Zhu Qin smiled lovingly, and handed the child to Ling Mu, who took him with ease. He hugged the child firmly, smiled lightly and kissed him on the forehead.


    Because the guests had to be sent back after the dinner, the wedding banquet didn¡¯t continue too long.


    The Qiu family sent all the guests to the starship before returning to the capital star. Everyone was tired after a long day, so they went to bed early.


    Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu took the child back to the room and put him in the crib. The two fathers lay on both sides of the crib, watching their son sound asleep with doting smiles.


    ¡°Qiu, Huan.¡± Ling Mu looked down, and gently played with the baby¡¯s curled little hand with his index finger.


    Qiu Huan¡¯s name was given by Qiu Zhenyang, and was officially registered in the system. The word Huan has no special meaning, it just contains the symbols of both fathers4»¸ contains the ¡®Mu¡¯ from Ling Mu, and part of QZY¡¯s ¡®Yang¡¯ which is simple and good.


    The sleeping baby twisted his body, yawned with his small mouth, closed his eyes, and grabbed Ling Mu¡¯s finger with considerable strength.


    Ling Mu¡¯s expression was extremely doting. Qiu Zhenyang looked at him, stood up, turned around, sat down beside Ling Mu, and kissed his cheek lightly.


    The sudden temperature caused Ling Mu to cast a puzzled look over, and then he felt a strong arm wrap around his waist.


    ¡°I love you.¡± Qiu Zhenyang kissed again, on Ling Mu¡¯s soft lips.


    A lifelong partner, a lovely family, and friends who support each other. He already has everything that is beautiful in the world.


    Feeling the secure, reliable arms and tenderness on his lips, Ling Mu felt that he was about to melt into a room filled with love and warmth.


    He curled his lips and smiled, letting himself be addicted¡­


    ¡°I love you too.¡±

 CH 100

    ¡°Ugh¡ª¡±


    In a guest room of a five-star hotel, a person knelt down in the bathroom and vomited wildly into the toilet.


    Yuan Chenyu¡¯s face was flushed. His lips were red as he dizzily waved his hands behind his back. ¡°Zhuo, tow- towel¡­ towel! Bleghh¡ª¡ª¡±


    Zhuo Hang, who came in from the door, looked at Yuan Chenyu who was vomiting with disgust. Helplessly, he grabbed a towel from the cabinet, and handed it over with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t drink with Qiu Zhenyang, ah. You didn¡¯t listen. Do you feel good now?¡±


    At the wedding banquet, Yuan Chenyu was overly excited and insisted on getting Qiu Zhenyang drunk. He pulled a group of friends to toast Qiu Zhenyang one after another. None of them knew Qiu Zhenyang had already taken a ¡°anti-drunk drug¡± developed by his grandfather, which flushed all the alcohol out of his body directly.


    On the contrary, it was the group of people who ran over to toast him who ended up drunk or unconscious.


    After everyone came back on the starship, they lived in the hotel of the First Consortium nearby. Those who were still sober were forced to take care of those who were not sober.


    Yuan Chenyu was aggrieved by Zhuo Hang¡¯s ridicule. His dull brain worked hard to spit out the following words, ¡°How do I know¡­ you didn¡¯t, didn¡¯t say.¡±


    Zhuo Hang choked for a moment. He only realized after he saw Qiu Zhenyang appearing fine after drinking so much. If he had known earlier¡­ Even if he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t be able to stop Yuan Chenyu, right?


    ¡°Done vomiting? Go take a shower and sleep. I have to go back to my room to rest.¡±


    Zhuo Hang helped Yuan Chenyu up, and put one hand on the latter¡¯s waist. The delicate touch under his hand made his eyes darken, and he pursed his lips tightly to divert his attention.


    Yuan Chenyu swayed in a daze, hanging limply from Zhuo Hang¡¯s body as if he had no bones.


    The person next to him had a familiar and pleasant scent, not like perfume, but more like shower gel.


    ¡°What did you spray? Smells, smells good¡­¡± Yuan Chenyu turned his face to try to get closer, but he staggered and fell sideways. Against his lips was a hot, moist, and warm sensation.


    The body supporting him froze, motionless.


    Yuan Chenyu creaked and struggled to open his eyelids.


    Ah, he seems to have kissed Zhuo Hang¡¯s mouth¡­


    Zhuo Hang¡¯s¡­


    Mouth¡­¡­


    Yuan Chenyu, who was really drunk, didn¡¯t realize what was going on at the moment. He hummed indiscriminately, and twisted his feet, trying to keep walking.


    But the person who was taken ¡°advantage¡± of turned a rare red, and his usual calm expression was replaced by various emotions.


    Shock, ecstasy, and a bit of uncontrolled longing. He lowered his eyes straight to stare at Yuan Chenyu¡¯s lips that were just messed up just now.


    He¡¯s obviously an alpha, but when he¡¯s drunk, he¡¯s even more attractive than some omegas. Just now he kissed him first ¨C don¡¯t say I took advantage of you!


    Muttering this in his heart, Zhuo Hang grabbed his crooked friend, reached out and lifted his chin, and bit it hard.


    He really has endured it for a long time.


    Once the wall breaks after long-term suppression, emotions will rush out in an instant, propelling every muscle to seek what they want most.


    ¡°En¡­¡± Yuan Chenyu was weak all over. He could only rely on the person beside him for support. His chin was lifted and his lips were grabbed, and he didn¡¯t have the strength to react at all. All he knew was that he was hot all over. Although he realized that this person was Zhuo Hang, he didn¡¯t have the energy to figure out what this action meant.


    He and Zhuo Hang were originally familiar with each other. Not to mention that after Qiu Zhenyang got mixed up with Ling Mu last semester, almost all his free time is spent with Zhuo Hang now.


    Therefore, this kind of touch makes him feel at ease, but he can¡¯t think of anything else.


    The quietness of the person in his arms made Zhuo Hang¡¯s inner beast almost unable to be contained, and his pheromones began to overflow. The slightly strong smell made Yuan Chenyu struggle a little, and he frowned in discomfort.


    Aware of this, Zhuo Hang immediately pulled back. Panting heavily, the glittering corners of his lips made his eyes more dangerous.


    The temperature in the small space began to rise. Pursuing his lips, Zhuo Hang hugged Yuan Chenyu directly by the waist, and gently deposited him into the bathtub with a little force.


    Hot water was already prepared, and once Yuan Chenyu entered, he stretched his limbs comfortably, face full of satisfaction.


    Afterwards, he vaguely felt that the clothes on his body were ripped off.


    Zhuo Hang obviously didn¡¯t drink much, but he felt a little groggy at the moment. The kiss just now made him feel hot all over. After such thoughts were buried for too long, if not for his strong self-control, it would¡¯ve been difficult for him to get out.


    ¡°Hurry up and wash.¡± He cursed at Yuan Chenyu angrily, walked out, and slammed the bathroom door hard.


    Leaning his back against the cold wall, Zhuo Hang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slumped.


    Even he himself didn¡¯t know when he had such thoughts about Yuan Chenyu.


    He¡¯s obviously a friend who had played with him since he was a child, and is also a tall alpha with a strong personality. But he unknowingly attracted Zhuo Hang¡¯s attention. Happy, angry, confusion, surprise ¨C each of his reactions made Zhuo Hang interested.


    No one could see that he had such thoughts. Not the carefree Yuan Chenyu, and not even the observant Qiu Zhenyang.


    He hid it too deeply.


    But what¡¯s the use of hiding it so deeply?


    ¡°I can¡¯t help it anymore¡­¡± Zhuo Hang laughed at himself and let out a long breath.


    A quiet room is easy to make people think about things. Zhuo Hang stood against the wall for a while, but suddenly felt something was wrong.


    No matter how soundproof the room is, he is right outside the bathroom door, so he shouldn¡¯t be able to hear the sound of water.


    With a guess in his mind, Zhuo Hang supported his forehead, opened the bathroom door and went in with mixed pain and joy.


    Sure enough, Yuan Chenyu fell asleep lying on his back in the bathtub. His rosy lips were slightly parted, and there were suspicious water stains running down the corners of his lips¡­


    Zhuo Hang took a deep breath. Helplessly supporting his forehead, he stepped forward in resignation. Grabbing a new towel, he dipped it in water, squeezed some shower gel, and then wiped Yuan Chenyu. These actions are obviously very simple to do, but were extremely painful for Zhuo Hang.


    ¡°Drink¡­ ba! Qiu Zhenyang, you and I¡­drink!¡± Yuan Chenyu struggled unconsciously from time to time, talking in his sleep, making Zhuo Hang wish he could just wake him up!


    Yuan Chenyu is slightly shorter than Zhuo Hang and Qiu Zhenyang, but even then, he¡¯s taller than 180cm, and his figure is also excellent. Although his muscles are not as developed as Zhuo Hang¡¯s, he also has broad shoulders, narrow hips, and abdominal muscles.


    Zhuo Hang¡¯s hand started to move down his abdominal muscles with a dry cough. Although his expression didn¡¯t change, his ears gradually turned red.


    The person lying in the bathtub didn¡¯t feel anything, and it even made one think he wouldn¡¯t wake up no matter what was done to him.


    The pheromones in his body were frantically agitated. Zhuo Hang couldn¡¯t help but close his eyes, panting heavily. Seeing Yuan Chenyu who was sleeping soundly, he couldn¡¯t breathe for a while.


    After finally helping Yuan Chenyu wash and dry off, Zhuo Hang carried him to the bed, and went back to the bathroom to take a shower.


    He planned on returning to his room originally, but seeing Yuan Chenyu like this, Zhuo Hang was worried he would do something stupid in his sleep, so he decided to stay the night.


    After Yuan Chenyu woke up the next day, he saw Zhuo Hang lying beside him, embracing him, and fell to the ground in shock.


    ¡°Tsk, why are you so anxious?¡± Zhuo Hang was woken up by the heavy sound, and kicked the quilt impatiently.


    Yuan Chenyu sat on the ground dazedly.


    Although he was drunk last night, he still remembers!


    Especially¡­the kiss with Zhuo Hang¡­


    Damn it!!! What happened!


    Zhuo Hang couldn¡¯t sleep anymore, and sat up frowning. Seeing Yuan Chenyu, who was sitting slumped on the ground with a shocked expression and flushed face, he was keenly aware of his emotional changes. He knew that Yuan Chenyu remembered things after drinking, so it was easy to understand the emotions on his face.


    Zhuo Hang rubbed his eyebrows, and made a decision in his heart.


    He knew that he couldn¡¯t pretend anymore.


    Life isn¡¯t long to begin with. If he continues to let things continue like this, who knows when Yuan Chenyu will fall in love with someone else. At that time, no matter how painful it is, he must let go.


    Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. There won¡¯t be hope if such a future happens, but there is still a chance now.


    Thinking of this, Zhuo Hang brushed his messy hair, got out of bed and helped Yuan Chenyu up.


    Yuan Chenyu¡¯s mind was still a mushy mess. Before he could figure out what to say, he was dazzled by Zhuo Hang¡¯s strong abdominal muscles.


    ¡°¡­¡± It¡¯s not his first time seeing it, but does it look so wild today? And those arm muscles and long legs, they¡¯re not easy to see under clothes, but it reminds him of those male models. Even he, an alpha, wants to¡­


    ¡°Does it look good?¡±


    There was a hint of a smile in the joking voice, and an imperceptible tension underneath. Yuan Chenyu raised his head in a daze, and said ¡°ah¡±.


    Zhuo Hang reached out and grabbed his arm, approaching closer: ¡°Does my body look good?¡±


    Today¡¯s atmosphere is really not right. Yuan Chenyu pulled his hand but didn¡¯t pull it away. He could only say vaguely: ¡°It¡¯s not bad¡­¡±


    ¡°Since I look good, do you want to consider me? Qiu Zhenyang even has a child, but we are still single. Why don¡¯t we make up for it?¡± Zhuo Hang¡¯s tone was relaxed and casual, as if asking if he wanted to go on an outing.


    Yuan Chenyu¡¯s face distorted for a moment. ¡°What do you think? You had so many girlfriends before, who can tell you like AA! Who would believe you?¡±


    Zhuo Hang raised his eyebrows: ¡°Are you jealous? I didn¡¯t like those people, they pestered me.¡±


    ¡°Damn! How am I jealous! You¡¯re my brother, what jealousy! Zhuo Hang, are you still drunk?!¡± Yuan Chenyu shook his arms vigorously, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn¡¯t break out. Tired and frustrated, his eyes were red with anger.


    ¡°Zhuo Hang, think carefully about what you are doing! We are best friends, and alphas. We are absolutely impossible!¡± Yuan Chenyu¡¯s eyes turned involuntarily to peek at Zhuo Hang again.


    This man is really in great shape! When did he exercise?


    Zhuo Hang ignored his howling, and simply said: ¡°There are countless examples of friends becoming lovers. As for AA love, no one really cares anymore. Yuan Chenyu, you kissed me last night. I won¡¯t let you just fool around like this.¡±


    ¡°Me? I was drunk and slipped, okay! It¡¯s you, you¡­¡± Yuan Chenyu couldn¡¯t continue, and his face turned red.


    Why didn¡¯t he find out that Zhuo Hang was so good at flipping things upside down before?


    Yuan Chenyu was extremely angry and ashamed. His head also hurt terribly. Enraged, he lowered his head and bit Zhuo Hang, forcing him to withdraw his hand. The moment he was free, he immediately ran out of the door wrapped in a bath towel with full power.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    The room suddenly fell silent, and only an exclamation came from the corridor outside.


    Zhuo Hang smiled, and an aggressive light appeared in his calm eyes.


    ¡°Seems like the chance isn¡¯t zero.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yu, you can¡¯t escape.¡±
