Chapter 21 – Do You Think Your Alpha is Commander Du?
My alpha.
It’s not just a sweet term of endearment.
Du Xun’s fingers holding the phone suddenly curled tightly.
His body still emanated wisps of fleeting fragrance.
Though cold, it was scorching hot.
Ji Wei came out of the command room to call Du Xun back, seeing the expression on his brother-in-law’s face, as if he had seen a ghost.
“On the phone with your wife? Smiling so creepily.”
Ji Wei didn’t dare to say the second half of the sentence out loud.
He muttered under his breath, and then saw Du Xun’s profile glance at him.
The adjutant immediately stood up straight, his expression becoming serious.
“Commander, we need to go back, the zergs have appeared.”
Shen Zhuo heard Ji Wei’s voice:
“Then I’ll hang up now, I’ll go have lunch first.”
He casually said, “Don’t forget to eat too.”
Du Xun was silent for a while, noticeably much softer:
“Okay.”
The person facing Shen Zhuo started to be hypocritical again.
The beta’s name was Liang Yeta, his father owned a listed company, and everyone called him Young Master Liang.
In the later plot, he will manifest as an alpha.
He is one of Xun Qing’s many pursuers.
Obviously, he is now using the script of being viciously hostile to the outside world, while being a sycophant to Xun Qing.
Shen Zhuo put down his phone, shaking his head sympathetically.
“You have an alpha?”
Young Master Liang snorted coldly, his gaze towards Xun Qing full of adoration and resentment.
“Is it because you were rejected by the Second Prince, and you are now itching to find someone to satisfy you?”
Young Master Liang didn’t care who the other party was, even if he committed a great sin, his father could use money to smooth things over.
Therefore, the words he said were completely reckless, as vicious as a villain.
Shen Zhuo was not angered, but rather felt more pity for Liang Yeta.
He is another person controlled by the script.
“Feng Ming is nothing.”
The young man calmly put his phone back in his pocket, looking at Xun Qing with a faint smile.
“It seems chewing on someone’s leftover gum tastes pretty good.”
Xun Qing’s face turned from blue to white, clenching his fist.
“Bullshit!” Before Xun Qing could speak, Liang Yeta exploded in rage, “Who allowed you to insult him!”
Xun Qing took a deep breath and forced out a smile:
“Congratulations, may I ask who your alpha is?”
He didn’t believe that in such a short time, Shen Zhuo had found a new alpha.
Isn’t he deeply in love with His Highness?
Isn’t he willing to do anything for His Highness?!
“Tch, what kind of d-level omega like you who has been abandoned can find an alpha, don’t delude yourself. Do you think your alpha is Commander Du?”
In the previous world, Liang Yeta’s identity was still relatively clear.
But now that Xun Qing and Feng Ming are married, Young Master Liang’s role as the male lead’s admirer becomes very awkward.
Shen Zhuo put away his smile and resumed his cold demeanor.
Neither acknowledging nor denying.
“What if I say it is?”
The young man’s smile was bright and charming.
There was a touch of inexplicable charm in the corners of his eyes and brows.
But after suppressing all expressions, he was actually not much different from Du Xun.
Cold and keeping everyone at a distance.
Inherently aloof and detached.
“Shen Zhuo! I’ve bought your food! Come eat, don’t talk to the trash can!”
At the entrance of the cafeteria, Ai Li had one hand in his pocket and the other hand cupped around his mouth, amplifying his voice.
Making the surrounding students turn their heads one after another.
Mocking and curious to watch the scene, Xun Qing really couldn’t stand the gazes around him and the thoughts in his head, directly leaving and abandoning Liang Yeta.
Of course, Young Master Liang immediately chased after him, apologizing and currying favor.
Ai Li walked down the steps with his hands in his pockets, hooking one arm around Shen Zhuo’s shoulder.
“I just looked online, he’s the a-level omega who snatched your husband, right?”
“Snatched my husband?” Shen Zhuo turned and entered the cafeteria.
“It’s just that I find Feng Ming disgusting.”
“That’s right.” Ai Li just smiled, “That kind of hypocritical scum who wants to shout from the rooftops about helping an old lady cross the street, I can’t stand him, let alone you.”
Lunch was Ai Li’s treat.
Extremely luxurious.
The Ares cafeteria is famous for being good, from mountain delicacies to homemade country dishes, everything is available here.
Ai Li directly ordered a private room and ordered a table full of dishes.
“I suspect the royal family wants to consolidate military power.”
Halfway through the meal, Shen Zhuo put down his chopsticks. “Next, it will probably be your father’s arsenal.”
Ai Li’s father is the largest military equipment manufacturer in the Empire, belonging to the business sector, and the finished products are delivered to the military for inspection, then transferred to the Shen family’s weapon depot.
This is the reason why Shen Zhuo got to know Ai Li.
And then Ai Li stayed at the Shen family, being taught the use of weapons by Jiang Yuening.
The two of them are childhood friends.
“What’s wrong with that?” Ai Li has never cared much about these matters.
“The royal family also had military power centuries ago.”
Shen Zhuo shook his head, “I don’t know, but someone told me not to let the military power be consolidated.”
Ai Li paused slightly with a piece of braised pork still not placed in his bowl, his chopsticks slowing down.
Then he resumed the movement, biting into the meat, mumbling indistinctly:
“Who told you that?”
Shen Zhuo: “You know something, don’t you.”
Ai Li didn’t expect to hear this, his chewing slowed down, until he stopped completely.
He looked up, the dazzling and bold face devoid of expression.
“This is not something I should be involved in, nor is it something the arsenal should be involved in.” Ai Li said seriously.
“I just hope my dad and dad are doing well, no matter who holds military power, it has nothing to do with me.”
As he spoke, he gave a bitter smile:
“Is this too selfish? But even when I take the Ares entrance exam, I’ve always had this kind of thought.”
“In times of war, being a little selfish is not bad.” Shen Zhuo poured him some water.
“But if you enter the military academy, the most important thing is obedience.”
Ai Li leaned back in his chair, stroking his stomach, lazily yawning:
“So I’m being forced to come, it’s better if I don’t get in, then I can go back to being a young master and do whatever I want.”
Shen Zhuo glanced at him.
He knows this childhood friend too well.
He may say he’s selfish on the surface.
But in reality, he is more righteous than anyone else.
2 p.m.
The Ares square was densely packed with hundreds of helicopters, carrying the students to the simulation battlefield.
Feng Ming had already been waiting in the command room behind the simulation battlefield.
“I am Feng Ming, the examiner for this tactical exercise.”
Shen Zhuo dug at his ear.
He saw Xun Qing standing in the distance, looking up with a blissful expression.
Gazing tenderly at his husband.
Feng Ming also noticed him, his gaze becoming even more gentle.
Shen Zhuo suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He took out his phone and scrolled to Du Xun in his contacts.
His fingers pressed firmly on the keys.
[When are you coming?]
It took about ten minutes before a message came back.
[Probably tomorrow, sorry.]
[Did something happen?]
[Were you hurt?]
[Has someone bullied you?]
Shen Zhuo looked at the screen as the messages popped up one after another, blinking his eyes in surprise.
He thought Du Xun wouldn’t reply to him.
If he did reply, it would probably just be two concise words.
But he didn’t expect this series of questions, the tone not quite like him.
Could it be Ji Wei pretending to be him?
[Nothing happened.]
Shen Zhuo sent it doubtfully, glancing at the contact name, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
[I just saw Xun Qing and his alpha, and I was thinking about my alpha.]
The other end fell into a long silence.
So long that Feng Ming had almost finished the mobilization speech.
Buzz—
The phone vibrated in the young man’s palm.
Beside him, Ai Li leaned over, catching a glimpse of the message on Shen Zhuo’s phone screen.
[From: My Alpha]
[I’ll come see you as soon as possible.]
Shen Zhuo turned off the screen, his mood rather good.
Ai Li: “……”
Ai Li: “?!?!”
Wait, wait.
Whose alpha?!
