The Sickly Beauty Stops Pretending After An Arranged Marriage chapter 1

 Chapter 1: Arranged Marriage?


[Outwardly docile and waste-like, inwardly aggressive and all-powerful beautiful Omega Shen Bumian, previous single-mindedly focused on his career, now betrayed by his own actions, possessive Alpha Qin Luzhi]


The garden fence was covered with patchy rust, and except for the hot wind, no one noticed it, and the corner overgrown with roses was neglected.


Imperial First Military Academy.


"Hey, have you heard? The Qin family and the Shen family have arranged a marriage."


"Uh, is it the Qin family and the Shen family I'm thinking of? Those two?"


"Of course, who else in the capital could it be besides those two families?"


"I heard they're going to register the marriage in a couple of days, damn, that's fast!"


"What? My wife is gone just like that??"


"Waaa, my husband is gone too!!"


"Hey, hey, hey, it's just an arranged marriage, right? Marriages without an emotional foundation won't be happy anyway, maybe I still have a chance!"


The topic gradually shifted away, from self-pity to the two sides arguing.


Qin Luzhi, the unrivaled genius of the Empire, the only 3S-level full-ability user.


The Imperial Research Institute on the First Planet determined when he was nine years old that he would eventually differentiate into a higher-level Alpha, but they never expected him to awaken his abilities before he came of age and differentiate into a 3S-level Alpha at the same time.


"Bullshit, Qin Luzhi is the strongest Alpha, no objections!"


"I agree, who doesn't know the Second Young Master of the Qin family, Qin Luzhi? He was recognized as a genius at the age of nine, can you find a second SSS-level full-ability user in the entire Empire? Even among the talents of the Federation, you can't find one."


The implication was, there are plenty of geniuses, but Qin Luzhi is the only one with 3S-level abilities.


"Yeah, no one is worthy of my husband!"


"Heh, no matter how powerful he is, even if you praise Qin Luzhi to the skies, he's still not worthy of my darling wife."


"It's too good for Qin Luzhi!"


"Well, I think they seem quite well-matched."


However, this voice was really too small, causing it to be quickly overwhelmed by the other people's volume.


This person silently grieved, is he the only one in the CP army? Waa! So lonely.


...


They didn't see that the protagonists of the topic were standing on the stands not far away, the tall figure of Qin Luzhi leaning lazily against the wall, his dark eyes glancing over indifferently.


Beside him, Hè Jǐng had his hands spread out on the railing, leaning back a little, casting a mocking look at his good friend.


"Big boss, care to share your current state of mind?"


The tall Alpha's gaze was calm and undisturbed, and when his gaze swept over, it had a strong deterrent force. He just slightly lifted his thin lips and uttered two words,


"No feeling."


Hè Jǐng immediately exploded, "Fuck, the most beautiful Omega in the Empire, the dream omega of countless Alphas, you actually have no feeling? Fuck, you must be a realized high monk, right?"


"Hey, Mù Yì, how do you see this?"


Hè Jǐng didn't lean on the railing anymore, but directly leaned over Mù Yì's shoulder, only to be gently brushed off by Mù Yì, who then casually dusted off the non-existent dust on his shoulder, his expression calm.


"How can I see it?"


Hè Jǐng felt that he had overreacted a bit, and the two of them were just abnormal.


Hè Jǐng couldn't get a clear answer, so he just shut up and didn't say anything, and his curiosity was gone.


Mù Yì naturally changed the topic, "I heard that the military academy started recruiting Omegas this year? Is it also because of that young master of the Shen family?"


Qin Luzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, the sun today was a bit dazzling.


"Yes, the Shen family wants that young master to enter the military academy to learn self-defense abilities, so they went to the royal family to specially approve this expansion plan."


Hè Jǐng's jaw dropped again, "What? When did this happen? How come I didn't get the notification, did I miss the 5G network?"


"So our fellow brothers will have the opportunity to see the soft and sweet Omega, right? Thank you, young master Shen! But this really refreshes my view of the Shen family's capabilities, this request was actually approved, is the young master the darling of the empire?"


Qin Luzhi snorted lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. Mù Yì raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.


Hè Jǐng shared the rumors from the outside world, "I heard that the Shen family has spoiled that young master to be arrogant and unreasonable, I didn't expect this kind of request to be approved either, Big Boss, you better be careful in the future, hehe, you're so handsome, be careful he falls for you."


Qin Luzhi frowned, "I don't like Omegas, especially those unreasonable and arrogant delicate Omegas."


Hè Jǐng shrugged, he knew the boss hated people who bullied others with their family background the most.


And unfortunately, the current reports say that the Shen young master just drove an Omega classmate out of the aristocratic academy.


It can be said that the times are bad, completely unreasonable, and the outside world doesn't know what to say about it anymore.


"I'm sorry, I have a name, and it's not 'Shen family young master'."


A sudden voice interrupted Hè Jǐng's continued wandering thoughts.


Hè Jǐng looked at the young man on the steps at the entrance of the stands, his chestnut hair looking particularly docile in the sunlight, with a faint smile on his lips, calm and graceful, completely without the embarrassment of overhearing others discussing him.


Hè Jǐng was indeed stunned, and he had already guessed who the newcomer was.


No wonder he is the pillar of beauty in the empire, really nothing to say, maybe from standing too long his complexion is a bit pale, but his big bright eyes are shining, with peach blossom eyes and enchanting eyebrows.


He noticed a small red mole on the right lobe of his ear, making him look very seductive, the red mole was slightly blocked by a red earring, but Hè Jǐng still managed to glimpse a little bit of it.


"My name is Shen Bumian."


Shen Bumian swept his gaze over the three of them, with a barely detectable sense of scrutiny, and finally settled on the middle one leaning against the wall, Qin Luzhi, a flash of emotion passing through his eyes.


"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, the Shen family's taste is a bit higher than average, it's not your concern."


After saying that, he slightly nodded his head and turned to leave the stands, and next to him, an Omega glared at them angrily but didn't say anything, chasing after Shen Bumian.


Until Shen Bumian's figure disappeared, Hè Jǐng still hadn't recovered, it was Mù Yì who slapped him to make him come to his senses.


Talking about someone and then having the protagonist hear it, and the protagonist even speaking up, while he just stared at the person dumbly, it was really embarrassing!


"Ah, so embarrassing!! But the Shen family... what did Shen Bumian mean by that last sentence? Higher taste? What did he mean?"


Mù Yì put away his indifferent expression, with a touch of interest in his eyes, his voice still lazy,


"What could it mean, he just meant he doesn't think highly of our boss."


"Haha haha haha, Big Boss, you also have this day, hey, tell me, are you still 'no feeling' now?"


Hè Jǐng shamelessly mocked himself, immediately forgetting the embarrassment just now.


The person involved, Qin Luzhi, gave Hè Jǐng a sidelong glance, also putting away his casual indifference. They say Shen Bumian looks docile, and most people think he is docile, but in Qin Luzhi's view, it may not be the case.


Just now, it seems Shen Bumian had a faint smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.


Qin Luzhi didn't know how long Shen Bumian had been there, how much he had heard, but his instinct told him that the young man had heard it all.


Yet Shen Bumian did not make a big fuss or demand an explanation, but simply came out and said his name, calmly ending the topic.


Shen Bumian's last sentence? Qin Luzhi suddenly lowered his head and smiled, the meaning unclear, staring in the direction Shen Bumian had left.


Mù Yì felt that the young master of the Shen family, as described by the outside world, was definitely not simple.


Only Hè Jǐng was still shamelessly reveling in the beauty of the imperial beauty, he decided, next time his vote will also go to Shen Bumian, contributing his share!


Zhou Yishuan was still furious, "What kind of people are they? They just believe whatever is reported, I thought Qin Luzhi would be different, but turns out they're all snakes in the same den?"


Shen Bumian sighed, on the way here he had been listening to Zhou Yishuan's endless complaints, he may look docile, but he's actually a firecracker, just a little provocation and he explodes.


It's clear that Yishuan is really angry for his sake.


Shen Bumian comforted him, "Okay, Yishuan, don't be angry anymore, don't bother with them."


"That Omega clearly used his heat period to seduce the Alpha teacher, and was expelled for it, you just happened to see it, how did it become you driving him out? Ugh, it's so infuriating!"


"Alright, alright, who cares what the reports say, we know the truth, right? I'll buy you a milk tea, don't think about it anymore, okay?"


"I want a large one." Zhou Yishuan was easily bribed, the milk tea in front, why bother with anything else.


Shen Bumian, unlike Qin Luzhi's genius reputation, in the eyes of the world he is just a waste.


Because Omega's precious identity, Shen family has protected him very well, and he has received a good education.


The result is that in eighteen years, he has not awakened a single ability, not even the lowest-level D-grade ability to enhance his physique.


On the contrary, Shen Bumian has been physically weak since childhood, always nurtured by precious medicinal materials and top-notch medical equipment.


It can be said that all his demands will be met by his family, smooth sailing from childhood to the present.


Shen Bumian lowered his eyes, a faint, barely perceptible smile curling at the corners of his mouth.


No matter how they think, it's their business, the more he has the reputation of being a waste, the more it proves that his family's work has been done well.


In the blink of an eye, Shen Bumian had already resumed his usual demeanor, pushing Zhou Yishuan towards the office building, "No problem, let's go through the enrollment procedures first, and then I'll buy you one right away."


Principal's Office.


"So you must be Shen Bumian, I've reviewed your information, just sign here, and the other procedures have already been taken care of by your brother Shen Yi."


"Okay, thank you, Principal."  After signing, Shen Bumian didn't have anything else to do, he greeted the group of people in the principal's office and then left.


The scorching sun, after this trip Shen Bumian had already sweated a layer, he took out a wet wipe to wipe his face, Zhou Yishuan was a bit worried, "Bumian, are you okay? Maybe we shouldn't buy the milk tea, I'll take you back first?"


Shen Bumian squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, the clouds were much thinner than when he first came to the school, making the sunlight even more dazzling.


He shook his head, "I'm fine, let's go, there's a shop right at the school gate."


Sure enough, there was a shop at the school gate, but there were a lot of people, and a long line had formed, Zhou Yishuan looked at the sun and was a bit hesitant.


However, Shen Bumian had already stepped forward and joined the end of the line, which was mainly filled with students from the First Military Academy.


Someone noticed Shen Bumian, and their eyes instantly lit up.


"Fuck, behind, Shen Bumian, the Beauty Shen!"


Suddenly, everyone quieted down, all turning their gazes towards the back.


Shen Bumian had just been out in the sun for a while, his complexion a bit flushed, and there was sweat on his forehead again.


A tall male student walked up to him,


"Beauty Shen, I mean, Shen Bumian classmate, what would you like to drink? How about I buy it for you, you can go inside and wait."


The red-haired Alpha scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, waiting nervously for Shen Bumian's reply.


The other people looked resentful, damn, he got ahead of them, he's so capable, not fair!


Shen Bumian discreetly swept his gaze over the faces of the group, understanding their thoughts, but did not correct their form of address for him.


However, he gently pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, "No need, I'll just wait in line, thank you." He then turned his head and coughed a few times.


The red-haired Alpha blushed, Shen Bumian's voice was so soft and mellow, like glutinous rice.


Shen Bumian seems a bit uncomfortable, but he rejected him. What should he do?


"Then how about this, I'll give you my spot, you can go to the front, is that okay?"


The chestnut-colored Omega's brow creased slightly, as if pondering, and the others seeing this immediately expressed that they were all willing to let Shen Bumian go to the front.


So Shen Bumian smiled faintly, "Then thank you all, how about I treat you this time as a thank you?"


This made the group beam with delight, shaking their heads repeatedly, saying no need to thank them, and they wouldn't let an Omega pay.


So Zhou Yishuan found that in less than seven minutes, Shen Bumian had already bought the milk tea, and even the staff seemed to unconsciously speed up the preparation when they saw him.


Zhou Yishuan marveled, Ah, Bumian is really amazing!
