Chapter 11
Shen Shuyu was woken up by Xiao 1. He yawned and asked: [Is Wen Jiafei still outside?]
Xiao 1 flickered twice: [Master~ He left half an hour ago!]
Half an hour ago?
He left quite early.
Shen Shuyu shuffled in his slippers back to the living room. Wen Jiafei had indeed cleaned the kitchen, and the dishes were washed and put back in their original places. Quite domestic.
Xiao 1 asked in confusion: [Master, why do I feel like you’re not surprised at all?]
Shen Shuyu said: [I didn’t think he would actually wait for me anyway.]
Although the current Wen Jiafei was constantly bullied by the original host, he could feel that Wen Jiafei didn’t seem to take the original host seriously, treating him perfunctorily like a boss.
As a corporate slave in his past life, he understood this all too well.
Wen Jiafei still had ruthlessness in him, he just hid it well. But fortunately, he wasn’t as perverted as he would be in the future. After all, in terms of perversion, the previous original host was much more perverted than him. It seemed escaping the inevitable death ending in the original work wasn’t that difficult.
Shen Shuyu changed his shoes and walked toward the academy. While walking, he looked up introductions to current mechas online. The more he looked, the more interesting he found it.
Returning to the classroom, this period was still a theory class. He arrived late; the theory classroom was already full, and the only empty seat was in the front row, next to Chi Yanxun.
Shen Shuyu met Feng Xing’s eyes from the back row. Feng Xing mouthed something to him and pointed to the seat next to Chi Yanxun. Although his gestures were messy, Shen Shuyu barely understood his meaning.
The seat next to Chi Yanxun was deliberately left for him. The lecturer for this theory class was prominent in the interstellar world, and his classes were hard to get into, so they were basically packed.
When Chi Yanxun saw Shen Shuyu, his face could be said to have sunk to the bottom, darker than a coal miner’s face.
In the morning combat class, he had truly been extremely tolerant, but Shen Shuyu repeatedly challenged his bottom line. Yet, because he was an Omega and due to his family background, he had to continue enduring.
All the grievances he had felt growing up, he could say he felt them all because of Shen Shuyu.
Shen Shuyu could naturally sense Chi Yanxun’s resentful gaze. Honestly, he understood Chi Yanxun quite well. If he met someone like Shen Shuyu, he might hide even faster. Although this world didn’t look at physical differences, only recognizing the three genders of Alpha, Beta, and Omega.
But when there was really an A, B, or O with a male body, he still found it a bit unbearable.
Shen Shuyu only glanced at Chi Yanxun before withdrawing his gaze. It wasn’t a plot point now, and he couldn’t be bothered to go annoy Chi Yanxun. He walked up to a Reserve Department student and swapped seats with him.
Shen Shuyu sat down. This is the best viewing position for studying!
Chi Yanxun was a bit surprised watching his teammate walk over. This Shen Shuyu actually didn’t stick to him like a dog skin plaster. But on second thought, Shen Shuyu probably had some tricky idea waiting for him. He couldn’t be fooled!
Shen Shuyu didn’t care about the twists and turns in Chi Yanxun’s mind. The two afternoon classes were both theory. Although interesting, he had been away from this kind of systematic learning for a long time. After sitting all afternoon, not only did his butt hurt, but his head was buzzing too.
Although the system said this body was still his, just with an added gland and pheromones, Shen Shuyu still felt some subtle differences. Before, he wouldn’t be tired sitting in the company from 9 AM to 9 PM, and the academy’s chairs were much more comfortable than office chairs. It seemed this gland still had an effect.
Shen Shuyu slowly followed the crowd out of the classroom. He took a deep breath; the air outside smelled much better. It was stuffy and hot inside.
He took his things and walked toward the school gate. Feng Xing went to play ball with classmates, which gave him some peace and quiet.
However, he hadn’t taken a few steps when he bumped right into Chi Yanxun coming out from another intersection. Chi Yanxun’s handsome brows furrowed, his gaze scrutinizing him as if cursing him for being a stalker.
Shen Shuyu: …
No, aren’t the Protagonist Gong’s eyes supposed to be affectionate and gentle, or at worst cold? But Chi Yanxun’s current gaze looks… like he’s cursing quite vulgarly.
Shen Shuyu continued walking expressionlessly. Anyway, it wasn’t a plot point, and Xiao 1 was hibernating because it acted as a camera all noon and ran out of energy.
He couldn’t be bothered to deal with Chi Yanxun!
Seeing him walking toward him, Chi Yanxun exited the school gate even faster, afraid Shen Shuyu would catch up.
Shen Shuyu took a deep breath: Calm down, calm down. He’s just a person persecuted by a cannon fodder villain.
When he reached the school gate, Chi Yanxun was already gone. The Terminal in his pocket rang; the driver had sent him a location share.
Every Omega had to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up after their heat period. Shen Shuyu had already been checked once, but since this heat was induced early, Shen Yisi was worried and booked him another full-body check-up.
It was already very late when Shen Shuyu arrived at the hospital, but the check-up and the doctor were friends of Shen Yisi. Shen Shuyu used the VIP channel as soon as he arrived, so the check-up took only an hour.
Night had fallen outside, and all the lights in the hospital were on. The driver went to get the report for Shen Shuyu. He didn’t like the smell of the hospital, so after telling the driver, he left the hospital building, planning to go back to the car first.
However, just as he reached the door, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. Looking closely, it was actually Wen Jiafei?
What is he doing in the inpatient department this late at night?
Shen Shuyu recalled that he indeed hadn’t seen Wen Jiafei this afternoon. He hesitated, but seeing Wen Jiafei’s figure about to disappear, his feet honestly followed.
He thought he would lose him since he was late, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the inpatient department lobby, he saw Wen Jiafei standing at the pharmacy counter picking up medicine.
Shen Shuyu sneakily hid behind a pillar, watching Wen Jiafei get on the elevator.
He was the only one using the elevator at this time. Shen Shuyu waited a while, and after seeing the elevator stop steadily on the eighth floor, he pressed for another elevator.
Inside the elevator, there was a list of inpatient departments corresponding to each floor. Shen Shuyu looked at the eighth floor—Intensive Care?
Shen Shuyu pressed the button for the eighth floor. Watching the number button light up, he still couldn’t figure out what Wen Jiafei was doing here.
The elevator quickly reached the eighth floor. The smell of disinfectant hit him in the face. Shen Shuyu frowned in discomfort but walked out anyway.
This floor was entirely intensive care units. Shen Shuyu walked along the corridor toward the center. It was very quiet here; he didn’t even see many people. Shen Shuyu carefully went around most of the circle and finally heard a familiar voice in a doctor’s office in the other corridor.
“How is my mother’s condition recently?”
Mother?
Is Wen Jiafei’s mother the one lying in intensive care?!
