Chapter 3: Are You Lying to Me?
The moment Shi He said it, the strawberry lollipop stopped moving and was placed on the side table.
The little cat lowered its head, its ear-tips red as it hid itself inside the small sofa, completely wrapped in the blanket. “No… you can’t.”
Now, even the hem of the dress was gone.
Shi He propped his chin on one hand. Listening to the rustling sounds from the other side, he chose to go a step further. “Why can’t I? Aren’t we in a relationship?”
Ruan Zhimian’s head was still dizzy. He tried to reason with Shi He in a soft voice, attempting to swap perspectives to gain a concession from the other party. “Could it be that Gege can show me his abs then?”
Very delicious.
“If baby wants to see, I am at your service anytime.”
“No…”
The very obedient, silly little cat’s brain couldn’t keep up and he couldn’t out-argue Shi He. His skin was also thin; his eyes suddenly turned red, and his eyelashes became wet, looking incredibly aggrieved.
“You’re a bad person. I don’t want to chat with you anymore. I don’t like you.”
He had even drunk wine just to chat with Shi He.
Now he felt so miserable.
Shi He moved closer to the screen. He leaned halfway on the sofa in the lounge. His dark, cold eyes transformed in an instant into a pure, gentle appearance, and his voice became very low.
The small red dot at the top right of the screen showed it was recording.
“Baby, I remember when you added me, you said you liked me especially much. You said you kept my photo in your wallet and carried it with you, and that the first thing you did every morning was think of me. I thought baby liked it this way.”
“Could it be… baby was lying to me all along?”
The camera moved slowly, finally changing from a black lens to a cute, soft little blanket. Ruan Zhimian wiped his tears and answered him weakly, “I wasn’t.”
He couldn’t exactly admit that he had copied the text from the internet. He was the one who scammed Shi He, and Shi He believed it. He… was so bad.
“Gege, we need to take it step-by-step…”
“Right now, it’s not okay.”
Too easy to bully, and too easy to coax.
The Alpha’s fingertip nonchalantly brushed over a button on his clothes as he began to apologize and coax. His eyes were tender; anyone who saw him would think he was being sincere. “I will respect baby in the future.”
“I ordered some small desserts. Give them my phone number in ten minutes and pick them up at the dormitory entrance.”
“Goodnight, baby.”
the video call hung up before he could even refuse.
Ruan Zhimian changed his clothes and washed his face. Before going out, he fully equipped himself with a mask and hat and ran to the entrance of the dormitory area to pick up the delivery.
Huajiang University was very large. The Omega dormitory building was separately located on the other side.
On the side where Ruan Zhimian lived, some colleges didn’t have enough students, so Alphas and Betas were arranged to live together.
The delivery person held up the bag, aiming at the… person(?) in front of him.
“Sir, your desserts. Enjoy your meal.”
“Thank you.”
Desserts from the Huajiang Tapu Hotel—four exquisite small boxes.
Each portion wasn’t much, just enough for a taste.
In the past, when he was sick, there were many things he couldn’t eat. Ruan Zhimian carefully opened the packaging box tied with a ribbon and unwrapped the small spoon.
The eyes that had just shed tears lit up. “Qiuqiu, it’s delicious.”
Qiuqiu, who had been floating around the school, floated back. Seeing Ruan Zhimian eating desserts, it lay back in the little nest Ruan Zhimian had made for it with dolls.
[Mianmian, rest early!]
The host it selected was indeed excellent.
This time, they would definitely pass steadily.
…
In Country M, Shi He, who had just left the shooting range, received a text saying the order was completed, along with a call from his childhood friend, who was full of curiosity. “Hey, hey, hey! Hurry up and tell me, who did you send that to?”
The Alpha moved the phone a bit further away, manually lowering the volume.
“My wife.”
“What?! You’re off the market? Who agreed to this! Who allowed this!”
“Didn’t we agree to grow old and lonely together? You betrayed me!” As he spoke, he even started muttering to himself, “Which blind person could have taken a fancy to you? You have such a bad temper.”
Shi He pressed his temple and paused him with one sentence.
“Wen Song, if you have nothing to do, go find Gu Xici. He’d be very happy to chat with you.”
“I-I’m not going to find him!”
“When are you coming back? Let me see your wife. Work is too boring.”
Shi He hung up the phone directly, manually silencing it, and told the assistant beside him, “Book a flight for tomorrow afternoon.”
“President Shi, there’s still a meeting tomorrow afternoon.”
“Push it forward.”
The assistant looked at the schedule on the tablet and said seriously, “Your Easy Period is coming soon. If you push it forward any further, you won’t be able to maintain normal rest time.”
“I know.”
Once Shi He decided on something, no one could change it.
Very few people outside knew that as early as two years ago, most of the decisions for the Shi family were made by this least-favored heir.
The car entered a tunnel. Under the illumination of the car lights, the young, cold Alpha leaned against the back of the car seat, his deep black eyes downcast.
“I’m going back to catch a cat.”
