Chapter 15: You Can Rely on Me a Little More
Du Xun paused, then continued:
“Finding the flaws you imagined requires more than just being the vanguard on the battlefield.”
Shen Zhuo immediately understood his meaning.
That sentence he said earlier, “Or maybe it’s not just him,” Du Xun had heard it.
Which means Du Xun already knew the Queen’s intentions.
His guess was correct.
Perhaps Du Xun knew more than he did.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhuo tentatively asked:
“How do you know that would be a flaw?”
Meaning, why was he unwilling to give the military power to the royal family.
“A feeling.”
Shen Zhuo lowered his eyes and did not respond.
If it were someone else saying “a feeling,” Shen Zhuo would definitely not believe it.
But the one saying it is Du Xun.
The commander’s ability to sense and deduce is unparalleled.
“I see.” Shen Zhuo gripped the cards in his hand, “I’ll try.”
Du Xun’s status in the military is on par with the monarch.
Although people in other fields all fear his power,
But they ultimately don’t pose a substantive threat.
Just like his father, Shen Yuxin.
What he needs to do, in addition to the military, is to establish barriers for his family and himself in other areas as well.
“Wait.”
Seeing Shen Zhuo wanting to leave, Du Xun directly placed both hands on the armrests.
His whole person covered the chair from above.
Completely enveloping the originally petite omega in the shadow.
This action was like an embrace.
Shen Zhuo was startled, raising his chin to look into the alpha’s gray-blue eyes.
But unexpectedly, he fell into a bottomless pool.
Perhaps the earlier pheromone outburst had quickly weakened his body.
As an omega, the instinctive fear of the alpha in front of him, who looked cold and not easy to talk to, made him nervous.
Leaning back against the chair, Shen Zhuo’s tense appearance quickly made Du Xun release him, straightening up:
“For this Ares Military Academy entrance test, I am the chief examiner, but I will not show favoritism for anyone.”
He said softly, “Not even you.”
Du Xun didn’t know what he was expecting.
Or what kind of expression he wanted to see on the young man’s face.
Shen Zhuo just nodded after hearing this, not understanding why Du Xun needed to explain this to him:
“That’s good.”
Du Xun looked at him for a while.
Then turned his head and glanced at the time without any expression.
“Are you hungry?”
Shen Zhuo patted his stomach.
A little.
But he acutely sensed that Du Xun’s complexion was not as good as before.
Thinking about the last time, Shen Zhuo hesitated for a moment, and once again activated his ability, [Heart Listening].
He heard the second half of Du Xun’s thought.
[But you can rely on me a little more.]
Brief dazedness.
The beautiful little omega raised his chin and nodded, “I’m hungry.”
“Do you want to eat in the cafeteria or outside?” Du Xun took the car keys out of the pocket of the coat on Shen Zhuo’s lap.
Shen Zhuo had never eaten the food in the cafeteria before.
“Is the cafeteria food good?”
Looking at the hand reaching out to him, Shen Zhuo moved his legs, feeling they were still a bit weak, so he reached out and took Du Xun’s help to stand up.
“Commander!” Outside, Ji Weihen’s voice sounded, he had just finished running and was still panting a bit.
Shen Zhuo and Du Xun exchanged a glance.
“Come in and speak.” Du Xun said.
As soon as Ji Weihen pushed open the door, he smelled the faint scent of lotus flowers mixed with a tiny bit of rosemary.
He immediately covered his eyes, then opened his fingers and stared with wide eyes.
“I’ll keep it a secret!”
Du Xun gave him a glance.
Ji Weihen immediately put down his hand and reflexively stood up straight:
“Commander, news has come from the northern battlefield, Commander Jian has died.”
