Chapter 81
Shen Shuyu looked calm on the surface, but inside he was grumbling: Why was Shen Xili staring at him for no reason!
Was he trying to randomly scare a cannon fodder simp into fainting?!
Fortunately, he was very composed and turned his head back very quickly; Shen Xili probably didn’t even react.
After being looked at by Shen Xili like that, Shen Shuyu didn’t dare turn his head randomly anymore. But on second thought…
Shen Xili looked at him without any panic, so what was he afraid of? Why was he being cowardly? It was simply inexplicable!
Moreover, as a vicious cannon fodder simp, the card he held was arrogance and domineering. And he didn’t get along with Shen Xili to begin with. At a time like this, he should have glared back viciously to fit his character persona.
Having thought it through, Shen Shuyu turned his head, ready to have a showdown between the Protagonist Shou and the vicious cannon fodder. However, he discovered Shen Xili had already turned his gaze to the screen long ago, as if everything just now was an illusion.
That was definitely not an illusion.
Shen Shuyu pouted, feeling that the internal battle in his brain just now was very boring and laughable. He shook his head and continued watching the match.
Yan Qing and Chi Yanxun fought very fiercely. As if by prior agreement, neither picked up the weapons placed aside; it was pure hand-to-hand combat.
Both of their muscles bulged hard. One didn’t even need to look at the bullet comments in the live broadcast room to know how exciting it was.
Shen Shuyu watched for a while, then heard someone call him.
He turned around. Shen Xili handed him a bag of potato chips.
Shen Shuyu reached out to take it, tore it open, and put a chip in his mouth.
Actually, Shen Xili was really quite nice. When he first entered, he had read that incomplete novel many times. Leaving aside everything else, Shen Xili truly possessed a stable core.
Perhaps it was his experiences growing up that made his inner heart firm yet pure. Even after reuniting with the Shen family, he didn’t do anything to the original owner. Instead, the original owner courted death again and again, finally destroying everyone’s love and guilt for him.
The potato chips crunched loudly as he bit into them. Shen Shuyu glanced at the packaging bag—pretty tasty. He noted it down to buy a few bags when he got back.
Shen Xili, his face hidden in the dimness, smiled. However, he sensed a gaze looking at him and keenly looked in the direction of the gaze.
At the end of the line of sight was Wen Jiafei.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, lifted the coconut in his hand, and made a toasting gesture toward him.
Wen Jiafei nodded slightly and withdrew his gaze.
The PK stage was still in intense pursuit. Chi Yanxun flipped Yan Qing to the ground and locked him firmly, but Yan Qing wasn’t a pushover. He quickly found Chi Yanxun’s weakness, overturned him, and scrambled up from the ground rapidly.
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help raising an eyebrow. He looked down at the watch on his wrist. Unknowingly, the two had been entangled for almost an hour without stopping. If it were anyone else, they would have exposed openings long ago.
Unexpectedly, the two of them seemed to get more energetic and in better form the longer they fought.
“Looking at this match of theirs, I estimate it will be a protracted war.”
Lin Xuyi sighed. “What should we eat for lunch? I’ll place the order first so it can be delivered when the time comes.”
Everyone wasn’t very picky, and their gazes all turned to Shen Shuyu.
Lin Xuyi lamented, “Only at times like this do I remember you are an Omega who needs pampering.”
“If you can’t speak nicely, shut up. Thanks,” Shen Shuyu said. “I’m not picky.”
He didn’t have the habit of being picky about food; after all, his past life never gave him the opportunity to be picky.
“Not picky is good,” Lin Xuyi teased, then used his optical computer to order food.
After ordering, he couldn’t help asking, “Can we still attend the awards ceremony today?”
“What are you thinking?” He Mingyue said. “Even if it’s held, it’ll be tomorrow. After this ends, there’s a contestant dinner tonight.”
“There’s a dinner tonight?” Shen Shuyu asked. “How come I didn’t know?”
He Mingyue said “Ah.” “The messaging group. The teacher just created a group chat a moment ago. Didn’t you guys receive it?”
Hearing him say this, the others took out their optical computers and clicked on the messaging terminal. Sure enough, a new group chat was lying inside, but currently, it was just everyone greeting each other.
With teachers present, everyone was very shy.
Shen Shuyu was just about to close the terminal when, unexpectedly, he was pulled into another new group. Shen Shuyu clicked in to look; the new owner was Lin Xuyi.
He couldn’t help looking up at Lin Xuyi, who was looking down and fiddling with something. Shen Shuyu felt his optical computer vibrating buzzingly. Looking down, almost all the contestants were present.
Now without teachers present, everyone was much livelier, discussing the current battle situation on the PK stage.
Shen Shuyu said, “You are… too fast.”
According to a test from his past life, Lin Xuyi was purely an ‘E’ person (Extrovert), a super social butterfly.
Lin Xuyi didn’t even look up. “What’s the big deal?”
Then he looked at Wen Jiafei. “Wen Jiafei, we haven’t added each other on the terminal yet. Add?”
Wen Jiafei passed over his terminal code. Shen Xili also unhurriedly took out his phone, only he didn’t aim it at Wen Jiafei, but at Shen Shuyu beside him.
Shen Shuyu didn’t react for a moment. He pointed at himself. “Me?”
“Otherwise?” Shen Xili said. “Is the Little Young Master unwilling?”
It was just a terminal contact; there was nothing to be unwilling about.
Shen Shuyu scanned his code and discovered he and Wen Jiafei were of the same type—both simple. The terminal interface was also simple.
“Little Young Master, someone in the group is calling you. Seems to be Bai Wei,” He Mingyue reminded.
Shen Shuyu opened the small group chat again. He skillfully set it to ‘Do Not Disturb’ before scrolling through the chat history.
These interstellar people sure typed fast. In just a few minutes, a group of people had chatted hundreds of messages, and it kept refreshing. Shen Shuyu scrolled for a long time before finally seeing what Bai Wei said.
[Bai Wei: Come solo @yu]
Crazy. Who wants to schedule a fight with an Alpha!
Shen Shuyu felt like a fool for scrolling through all that. He simply tossed the optical computer aside and stopped looking.
Lin Xuyi muttered, “Now only Chi Yanxun and Yan Qing are missing.”
“Look quickly.” Shen Xili rapidly drew everyone’s attention to the screen. While they were bantering, Chi Yanxun and Yan Qing had both reached the edge of the pool. As long as one fell, this survival battle would officially end.
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help holding his breath. Looking at it now, one couldn’t tell who had the winning chance at all. Other people’s terminals were buzzing crazily; presumably, they were also extremely stimulated by this scene.
Chi Yanxun pressed Yan Qing down tightly. Not to be outdone, Yan Qing used his leg to trip him, but Chi Yanxun’s lower body was very stable and didn’t budge an inch.
Yan Qing’s expression wasn’t good. His pheromones also dispersed, pressing toward Chi Yanxun.
But the aggressive strong liquor-scented pheromones quickly tore the ethereal smoke scent in the air to shreds. He panted slightly and said, “Yan Qing, you lose.”
“I haven’t lost.” Yan Qing pushed him hard, actually managing to push Chi Yanxun away.
Chi Yanxun quickly steadied his steps. When Yan Qing rushed over, he suppressed him again.
The two top-tier Alphas were not only competing in strength but also in spiritual power.
Chi Yanxun’s spiritual power was among the best in the current younger generation of Amor. Yan Qing wasn’t bad either. The two fought until their eyes were red.
In the end, Yan Qing revealed a small opening. Chi Yanxun seized the opportunity, kicked with his long leg, and Yan Qing rolled directly into the water.
The final PK match, Amor wins.
Yan Qing let himself sink to the bottom. The next second, he heard the person on the water shout, “Yan Qing.”
Yan Qing floated up. His misty-blue hair was wet and plastered to his face. His face was pale, adding a touch of fragility.
Chi Yanxun extended a hand to him. His complexion was even worse than Yan Qing’s, panting as he recovered.
Yan Qing took his hand, finally sighed, and smiled. “Still couldn’t beat you.”
Chi Yanxun said, “Won by a narrow margin, that’s all.”
He had only caught a tiny mistake of Yan Qing’s; otherwise, he wouldn’t have won so quickly.
He pulled Yan Qing up, and staff members came over to take them to the transport pod.
“Won!” In the dormitory, Lin Xuyi couldn’t help cheering. “We won!”
Shen Shuyu nodded along. It indeed followed the exact same trajectory as the text.
Shen Xili looked at Shen Shuyu’s lack of enthusiasm. He raised an eyebrow slightly. “Little Young Master, you’re not happy?”
