Chapter 30: Give Me a Chance, Can You?
Under the gaze of numerous eyes, Xun Qing naturally had to play the virtuous and graceful Second Imperial Consort.
But seeing that Shen Zhuo completely ignored them, Feng Ming couldn't sit still.
"Even if we broke off the engagement, we can still be friends, Shen Zhuo,"
The alpha also put on an understanding expression.
"Isn't Qing Qing your good friend? We three can still be like before."
Xun Qing was gloomy beside them, and when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with tears:
"Little Zhuo, do you hate me? I prepared a lot of things you like, can you accept my apology?"
Shen Zhuo looked at the two of them singing in unison.
Like a crosstalk.
And very clumsily.
He stopped, or maybe just slowed his steps a bit.
He looked at Xun Qing, expressionless: "Scram."
"Shen Zhuo, how can you speak like that! Qing Qing and I are just being kind..."
Shen Zhuo turned his head to face Feng Ming: "You too, scram."
Sss—
A collective gasp from the surroundings.
"Shen Zhuo!"
A loud call broke the brief silence.
At the end of the corridor, Ai Li was hanging a suspensory bandage, waving with the other hand.
Shen Zhuo didn't even bother to look at Xun Qing's suddenly dumbfounded and tearful expression, or Feng Ming's almost murderous gaze.
He walked towards Ai Li amidst the shocked silence.
Onlookers: ?! ?!
Didn't they say Shen Zhuo was still clinging to the Second Prince even after being jilted?
Apparently, that's not the case at all.
However, most people still stood on Xun Qing's side.
"The Imperial Consort has already given him face, and still apologized, pfft, he's not even worthy!"
"Your Highness, don't bother with him, that kind of waste is not worth making you cry, it's better not to have such a person as a friend!"
"Your Consort, he can't be compared to you at all, don't be sad for the sake of this kind of person!"
Xun Qing sobbed and wiped his tears in Feng Ming's embrace:
"Don't say that about him, he's just too angry..."
Shen Zhuo coldly glanced at Xun Qing.
His voice was neither loud nor small, just right for everyone to hear:
"Isn't it interesting to occupy a nest that doesn't belong to you."
Of course, he was not referring to Feng Ming.
"You'd better pray that you don't run into me in the combat test."
The omega walked forward again, without looking back:
"If you have time, you'd better go see a psychiatrist, don't bark here."
Onlookers: "... !!"
Fuck...
Tired of listening to those pretentious acts, he walked up to Ai Li and looked him up and down.
"Is the injury okay?"
"Of course. You're pretty cool, learning about three-fifths of my skills."
Ai Li nudged Shen Zhuo with his elbow, turning his head to stick his tongue out at Xun Qing, "Let's go, let's talk in my room."
Ai Li's resting room was a double room.
But the other omega was said to have been picked up by his family and withdrawn from the test.
Now it was just him alone.
"Yesterday when Commander Du Xun came, someone from my family came to deliver a message from my father."
"My old man said that this time it was someone behind the scenes who instigated it."
Although there was no one else in the room, Ai Li still lowered his voice.
Shen Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "Do you know who it is?"
Ai Li waved his hand: "No."
"The old man always talks like this, I can only hear what he wants to tell me, and then I'll try to probe a little more afterwards."
While talking, Ai Li glanced at the isolator on Shen Zhuo's neck.
"A new choker? It looks pretty good."
Shen Zhuo reached up and touched it.
"My alpha gave it to me."
Ai Li suddenly widened his eyes.
Glancing around, he then lowered his voice.
"A cadet? The examiner?"
Shen Zhuo shook his head.
Ai Li's pupils trembled: "A military officer?!"
Shen Zhuo nodded, then shook his head again, as if he had just thought of something.
Ai Li grabbed his head, his CPU almost burning.
After a while, he gritted out a few words:
"Don't tell me it's a military commander?"
Shen Zhuo thought that the Supreme Commander was also a military officer's title?
He nodded: "More or less."
Ai Li enviously grabbed Shen Zhuo's hand and shook it:
"Shen Zhuo, I also want a military officer alpha, and the better-looking the better."
Shen Zhuo was shaken left and right by him.
"There really is one, very good-looking."
He thought that Weishen was indeed very handsome.
Ai Li was also very dazzling.
Maybe they could get along?
Ai Li's eyes shone: "Give me the number quickly!"
Shen Zhuo was just about to speak when Ai Li smiled and stuffed a fruit gummy into his mouth:
"As a reward, in a few days I'll give it to you."
His voice was muffled, the gummy a bit too big.
Just then, a shadow fell at the door.
"Ai Li, is Shen Zhuo here...?"
Shen Zhuo was still chewing the gummy, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster.
Unexpectedly, he looked up, the cold indifference in his eyes softened a bit.
The soft black hair fell by his cheeks, making him even a little cute.
"He's here..."
Liang Yeta suddenly stiffened, his face flushing red.
He didn't even know how to walk, stumbling two steps sideways, almost bumping into the doorframe.
"Did you take the wrong medicine or what?" Ai Li was also a straightforward person.
"I, I... you, this this... he he he..."
Liang Yeta originally had something in his hand.
Now he was trying to hide it behind his back.
Hesitating and stammering, he couldn't get a word out for a long time.
Ai Li gave Shen Zhuo a regretful smile:
"His brain is fried, poor thing."
"Shut up!" Liang Yeta cursed instinctively, then looked at Shen Zhuo and started stammering again, "No, no... not..."
Shen Zhuo felt uncomfortable being stared at by him.
"I heard you were looking for me? Is there something you need?"
Liang Yeta was making eyes at Ai Li.
Ai Li leaned back: "Are your eyes acting up again?"
"Ai Li!" Liang Yeta gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "I want to talk to Shen Zhuo alone for a few minutes."
Ai Li looked at Liang Yeta, then at Shen Zhuo.
"But he has an al..."
Before he could finish, Liang Yeta had already pulled him up from the chair and pushed him out the door.
"Just a few minutes, please Ai Daye."
"Fuck you!"
With a bang, Ai Li was locked outside.
Liang Yeta was like a lovesick middle school student, fidgeting and hesitating at the door for a few minutes before taking a step forward.
"Shen Zhuo, your heat period hasn't passed yet, do you need... "
"Cough cough... do you need help?"
The last sentence was very soft, so soft that Shen Zhuo didn't even hear it.
Shen Zhuo looked up.
He saw Liang Yeta holding out something he had just hidden behind his back.
A bouquet of roses.
"I..." The young alpha's face flushed red, and he hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage.
"About the previous matter, I apologize to you. I don't know why I was obsessed with Xun Qing before, but yesterday I suddenly woke up and realized that Xun Qing actually doesn't have much that can attract me."
"But you do."
Shen Zhuo was taken aback.
Was this... a confession?
"But I..."
Liang Yeta suddenly shouted with his eyes closed:
"Don't interrupt me, let me finish!"
Shen Zhuo: "... Okay."
"When you killed the bugs yesterday, you looked so beautiful."
Liang Yeta's breathing was rapid.
A faint scent of peppermint green grass pheromones could be vaguely sensed in the air.
Releasing signals of courtship.
"My family may not have the fame of the royal family, but I have money, lots and lots of money. Anything you want, I can buy it for you."
The young alpha slowly knelt in front of Shen Zhuo.
Holding the roses out to him.
His fingertips were trembling.
"Shen Zhuo, I don't know how to describe this feeling, and I won't force you to be with me. "
"I just hope you can give me a chance to get to know each other better, starting as friends."
Liang Yeta looked at him earnestly, almost pleadingly:
"Can you?"
Aaah, already caught up. Thank you so much for translating!
ReplyDeleteI really like the communication in this series. I just hope Liang Yeta doesn't become obsessed with Shen Zhuo like he was with Xun Qing
