Chapter 27
Shen Yisi said he was going on a business trip, and he left that very night. Thinking about not seeing him for so long, Shen Shuyu actually felt a bit unused to it. He used to always be alone. Now that he finally had a biological brother—even if it was temporary—the warmth of family was something he cherished.
However, he also discovered that with Shen Yisi gone, his freedom seemed to have expanded. Before, he was always afraid Shen Yisi would check up on him from time to time. Now, Shen Yisi would only send him messages on the Terminal. If he saw something fun or delicious in a neighboring state, it would be delivered to the door the next day.
Interstellar express delivery was indeed fast!
The weather slowly turned cooler, and Shen Shuyu had to add an extra jacket when going out. Although the weather on this planet was more pleasant than in his past life, his fear of the cold hadn’t changed.
Aside from the cooling weather, the academy also announced the selection for the Survival War. Excluding Omegas, all Alphas and Betas could participate in the selection to represent the planet in battle half a month later.
Aside from their planet, students from seven other planets would also come. The competition would last a week and would be live-streamed in real-time.
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help thinking: Real-time live stream? Wouldn’t everything the original host did be broadcasted? He could imagine how hard it would be for Shen Yisi to clean up his mess if he acted out at such a time.
But fortunately, the System told him it wasn’t an all-around broadcast. The live stream only followed the flag, and there were one or two probes or the like that wouldn’t be broadcasted. The original host had exploited this loophole.
The original host’s spot was bought for a huge sum of money from a successful candidate who had to give it up due to various reasons.
On Sunday, Shen Shuyu made plans with Feng Xing to go to a bar. Feng Xing said there was a widely acclaimed show performing in the bar for three days, and today was the last day. He had bought tickets, but the other person was called back home by their family, so he asked Shen Shuyu if he wanted to go.
Shen Shuyu thought about it. The slots for the Survival Competition were about to be decided. Once inside, he would be fighting a hard battle acting out every day for seven days. Going to relax wouldn’t be a bad idea. Besides, Shen Yisi controlled him strictly; he hadn’t even seen what a bar in this world looked like yet.
When he arrived after changing his clothes, Feng Xing was already chatting with someone. Seeing him arrive, Feng Xing walked over, stuffed a ticket into his hand, and instructed, “Did you put on your inhibitor patch?”
Shen Shuyu nodded. “It’s on.”
Bars were mixed places with all genders, so apart from Betas, Alphas and Omegas had to wear inhibitor patches and carry suppressants when entering such venues, mainly to prevent unnecessary trouble.
Feng Xing handed him another bottle of suppressant. “Take this for self-defense.”
Shen Shuyu thanked him, but Feng Xing gave him a few extra unexpected glances.
Shen Shuyu noticed his gaze and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Feng Xing led him into the bar, muttering in his heart that the Little Young Master had changed a lot. Before, he was unreasonable and rude; now, he even knew how to say thank you.
The two handed over their tickets and followed the waiter inside. The tickets Feng Xing bought were for the second floor. The show was very popular, so the second floor, which was originally quiet private rooms, had been converted into an open hall for these few days.
Feng Xing pulled him to the railing and shouted loudly, “Stick close to me, don’t get lost.”
Shen Shuyu nodded. He looked down curiously. They were still warming up the venue, and the show hadn’t officially started. People in the dance floor downstairs were grinding against each other in hot dances; it wasn’t much different from the bars in his past life.
To earn some living expenses, Shen Shuyu had also waited tables at bars. He actually didn’t like this kind of atmosphere; it was too noisy, making his eardrums feel like they were about to burst.
Feng Xing, on the other hand, was very happy. He had a cheerful personality and started chatting with the people next to him in no time.
Shen Shuyu glanced around casually. Suddenly, he saw an old acquaintance.
Wen Jiafei was wearing a black uniform, holding a tray in his left hand as he shuttled through the lively crowd. Some bold people even stuffed tips into his uniform pocket, and he continued moving without changing his expression.
Shen Shuyu followed his back with his eyes. Since the Survival War registration started, Wen Jiafei hadn’t come to tutor him because he was also striving for a rank. After all, the first-place team would get a prize of 200,000. This bonus meant nothing to rich kids like them, but 200,000 could make Wen Jiafei’s life easier for quite a while.
Shen Shuyu watched Wen Jiafei stop in the crowd, say a few words to another person also wearing a uniform, and then leave with the tray.
Shen Shuyu withdrew his gaze. A few minutes later, the lighting in the bar changed. A host dressed in provocative clothing went on stage to warm up the crowd. It was extremely fiery; when Shen Shuyu saw another person whip him with a leather whip, the venue got even hotter.
Shen Shuyu was dumbfounded. What kind of show is this?!
He looked at Feng Xing again and found his expression was also a bit glazed. After all, as a student, this behavior was a bit too advanced for him.
Shen Shuyu was fine; he realized quickly that this was likely an adult show. No wonder it was so popular; when they entered just now, there were many people standing outside the bar.
The host finished the opening quickly. The show was divided into four parts, corresponding to the three genders, and of course, the finale was a mix of everything.
Shen Shuyu watched as ten men, who could be said to be wearing only thin strips of fabric and had top-tier figures, walked onto the stage. Alpha, Omega, and Beta—performers of all three genders walked to the center of the stage to display their bodies.
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help sucking in a breath of cold air. This is really advanced!
But before he could look for two more seconds, his eyes were covered. Before he could react, he heard Feng Xing say somewhat painfully, “Let’s go, let’s go play somewhere else.”
Feng Xing felt like he was going to faint when he saw a muscular Alpha walk on stage! His intention was just to take the Little Young Master out to play, and his family had told him to build a good relationship with the Little Young Master.
But he didn’t expect it to be this kind of show! Feng Xing remembered the look the ticket seller gave him when he bought the tickets—so that’s what it meant!
It’s over, I’m definitely done for.
If Shen Yisi found out he brought the Little Young Master to this kind of place…
Feng Xing couldn’t help shivering. Too scary, too scary.
Before Shen Shuyu could say anything, he was very efficiently pushed out by Feng Xing. It wasn’t until they were out the bar door that Shen Shuyu regained the light.
He turned to look at Feng Xing. Feng Xing had turned red starting from his neck; his face and ears were incredibly red. If one threw an egg on his face right now, it would probably be cooked.
Holding back his laughter, he said, “Didn’t we just go in? Isn’t the ticket wasted?”
“Let it be wasted,” Feng Xing said. “It’s not suitable for us to watch.”
He looked at Shen Shuyu, but the other party didn’t have much of a reaction; even his face wasn’t that red. He said depressedly, “Shuyu, have you seen this before?”
Shen Shuyu shook his head. “No, but they were wearing clothes. What are you afraid of?”
Although that was true, those clothes were worse than wearing nothing!
Shen Shuyu stopped teasing him. “Alright, let’s go then. I haven’t eaten; let’s go eat.”
“Okay, my treat.” Feng Xing exhaled heavily. “But about today, don’t tell President Shen.”
“I know,” Shen Shuyu said. “I’m not stupid. If I tell my brother, I’m done for too.”
The two exchanged a glance and nodded firmly, agreeing to let this matter rot in their stomachs.
Feng Xing recovered for a moment and asked, “What do you want to eat? There’s a… eh?”
He suddenly stopped talking, his gaze looking ahead. Shen Shuyu followed his gaze.
A group of hooligans with multi-colored hair was crossing the street.
What a coincidence, Shen Shuyu couldn’t help thinking. How many ‘old acquaintances’ have I met tonight?
Translator’s note: this novel needs a lot more readers, this is soooo good!!! ~
