Chapter 21
Admiral Wen Su was going on a blind date?!
He was clearly so young…
Oh, but considering Admiral Wen Su’s personality, it is indeed somewhat difficult for him to get married on his own. It’s good that his family is planning for him and preparing early.
From extreme shock to accepting it well, He Yuan quickly adapted to the situation.
Upholding the professional standards of a life assistant, he took a few steps back and re-examined this “blind date partner” from the perspective of a bystander.
He was very good-looking with a sharp temperament. Although not tall, when he slightly raised his chin, he gave off a very condescending feeling, like a spoiled little young master.
Hmm, probably can’t say “like.” Blind dates stress matching backgrounds; this person is definitely a genuine little young master.
But the atmosphere now was very subtle.
He Yuan’s hands clenched nervously.
“D-don’t flatter yourself. I just came to watch the excitement, not specifically to have a blind date with you!”
When saying this, the Little Young Master’s expression was still fierce, but his face was a bit red; he was probably embarrassed.
However, Admiral Wen Su failed to catch this shyness and said in a business-like manner, “When I talked to my dad on the phone, he said he sent you specifically because I was here, so I could talk to you. Do you mean he was lying and there is no such thing?”
The Little Young Master was stunned.
He Yuan also let out an internal sigh of frustration at the missed opportunity.
Admiral Wen Su is a good person, but sometimes he really is too blunt! The Little Young Master just wants to save face. Saying it like that kills the conversation!
Sure enough, the Little Young Master showed an expression that went from very confused to very angry, and finally, his face flushed red as he shouted, “Yes! Who do you think your dad is? Does he think he can order me around just like that?!”
He Yuan gasped upon hearing this. This Little Young Master’s background was even bigger than he imagined!
The Little Young Master raised his eyes and stared at Wen Su, seemingly wanting to provoke him.
But he didn’t.
Admiral Wen Su not only didn’t get angry at this domineering remark but became calmer than at the beginning.
He looked at the Little Young Master, his gaze becoming fainter and fainter, until finally, he lost focus as if looking at wild grass growing randomly by the roadside. He said, “It is best if you aren’t here to have a blind date with me.”
He Yuan: ?
He looked at the Little Young Master. The question marks from the Little Young Master’s head to toe were even more numerous than his, and his shocked eyes were wider than the glare he just gave!
Gradually, humiliation appeared in those eyes. The Little Young Master turned his back, his whole body tense as he endured for a while before issuing an ultimatum: “Wen Su, take me back to my room right now, and I can pretend nothing happened just now! Otherwise…”
Suddenly, a large palm grasped his hand.
He Yuan, who was fully focused on listening to the Little Young Master, froze. He looked down at his hand hidden in the trench coat sleeve. His feet passively moved forward, passively following the tall, upright figure leading him, passing the Little Young Master’s slightly trembling shoulders, and walking out of the arena tunnel.
The view suddenly opened up.
The breeze was moist and cool.
Under the clear sky washed by rain, their two figures appeared very small, yet through the refraction of the puddles on the ground, they seemed interdependent and ubiquitous.
Wen Su said nothing the whole way.
He Yuan also tactfully asked nothing.
After returning to the room, he still didn’t dare to disturb him. He went to the side, took off his scarf and coat, washed his hands, and quietly observed.
Admiral Wen Su sat on the sofa, looking unwell. He remained motionless for a long time before finally standing up and walking toward the wardrobe, undoing his tie with one hand.
Perhaps due to distraction and irritability, he couldn’t undo it for a long time. Instead, he pulled it tighter and tighter, becoming increasingly irritable, the veins on his temple faintly visible.
“Let me do it, let me do it! Don’t rush, Admiral!”
He Yuan quickly ran over, standing in front of Wen Su, looking up and standing on tiptoes, raising his hands to seriously undo the tie.
It was indeed twisted into a dead knot and was very hard to undo, but it didn’t matter; bit by bit, it would work!
He Yuan stared at Wen Su’s Adam’s apple where the tie was, his expression extremely focused.
Wen Su lowered his eyes and watched. His irritable heart suddenly calmed down.
The Omega’s fair fingers occasionally brushed against the thin, sensitive skin of his neck, sending waves of restlessness.
He moved his neck, suppressing his breathing and his impulses.
The Omega was still sick, and they still had many important things to say. At least, not now.
So he just stared at him with a gaze that seemed ready to penetrate the soul.
He was deep in it until the Omega held the undone tie in his hands, bending his eyes in a proud smile, and said, “Done!”
He came back to his senses and confirmed once again that the smile before him was the most healing thing in the world.
“Admiral, you didn’t tie it well when you put it on. Shall I tie it for you next time?”
Wen Su naturally said yes, then explained, “He was arranged by my dad. I knew nothing about it. By the time I found out, he was already on his way. I tried to stop it, but my dad insisted on having his way.”
He Yuan realized the truth and said very understandingly, “I get it, I get it. Parents urging marriage is just like that.”
Wen Su said with certainty, “I won’t accept it. Whether it’s a blind date introduction or an arranged marriage, I won’t accept any of it.”
“I get it, I get it!” He Yuan agreed enthusiastically. “What era is this! Besides, for things like this, you have to be truly willing yourself!”
“Mm. This is absolutely not my intention. It’s good that you understand.”
“I understand, of course I understand! Don’t worry, Admiral, I will definitely stand on your side!”
At first, he thought Wen Su accepted the blind date and was anxious about his poor speaking skills. Now he knew that Wen Su was also a victim of forced marriage!
Only, his words sounded completely different to Wen Su’s ears—
Faced with a sudden blind date partner, not only was he not angry, but he unconditionally trusted and supported him. The Omega was truly intelligent and sensible.
Wen Su was touched deeply. Finally unable to restrain himself, he placed his hands somewhat recklessly on the Omega’s frail shoulders, closed his eyes, and lowered his head to press his forehead against the Omega’s.
In the huge suite, there were only the two of them.
The excellent soundproofing made this place seem like an isolated island far from the mundane world.
The air system gently blew fine, warm air.
Wen Su simply didn’t want to leave for the rest of his life.
A long while later.
He Yuan’s weak voice probed tentatively—
“Ahem, Admiral, I—I shouldn’t be running a fever anymore, right?”
Wen Su was startled.
He emerged from his immersion, pulled back a little distance, and revealed an extremely gentle smile.
“No.”
No fever, but still confused.
Wen Su’s mood improved. He went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of wine and had someone bring hot milk for the sick Omega.
The two sat opposite each other at the dining table. Two glasses, one rich milky white, one clear and bright, just like the Omega and Alpha—polar opposites that didn’t fit, yet matched perfectly at certain times.
If mixed together, an incredibly wonderful chemical reaction would occur.
“Admiral, I’m much better now. I can cook tonight; I haven’t cooked for you in a long time!”
“There is a military banquet tonight.”
“Huh?”
“Do you want to go?”
“Me?” He Yuan paused. “Of course, I’m fine with anything. Does the Admiral want to go?”
Wen Su lowered his eyes in thought.
Normally, he certainly wouldn’t want to, but this time…
He, who had always been low-key, actually felt a strong impulse.
He wanted to bring He Yuan to the banquet. He wanted everyone to see, to know, and to spread the word: this good-natured and cute Omega belonged to him.
The farther and wider it spread, the better. Ideally, it would spread out of the galaxy to unknown spaces.
The evening banquet was a highly free-form social cocktail party, and Wen Su naturally became the center of attention.
Because he never actively socialized before;
Because his mecha, the Chongming Bird, unprecedentedly wore a magnificent exterior and won the championship in the competition;
Even more so because tonight, he came with multiple layers of gossip attached, and although his face remained cold, he didn’t seem to resist people inquiring and probing.
Theoretically, the person with these characteristics should clearly be General Tulip, Song Pei, yet the reality was it was the Rose Admiral, Wen Su. It was shocking and made curiosity explode.
After all, playboys were a common sight; once the ascetic type became desirous, it was fatal.
Entering the venue, as a life assistant, He Yuan naturally followed closely behind Wen Su, holding the drink Wen Su had handed him for safekeeping.
People constantly came over to greet and chat. Thinking he needed to reflect the professionalism of a life assistant, He Yuan tried hard to smile when Wen Su introduced him.
Finally, Wen Su looked at He Yuan and said to everyone, “Let’s go sit over there.”
He tilted his chin toward the sofa area not far away.
Everyone followed readily. The two walking at the very back whispered with snickers—
“I didn’t expect Admiral Wen Su to be quite thoughtful.”
“Right, right, I saw it too. He was clearly worried the little Omega would get tired from standing. Such excessive pampering!”
“After all, the little Omega is still sick. It’s understandable.”
“But the little Omega seems completely unaware, smiling at everyone nonstop, not even bothering to drink his beverage. Too cute! are all Omegas this silly and sweet?”
…
Of course not.
Only his Omega was this silly and sweet.
Even though he walked at the very front, furthest away, and even though those two spoke very quietly, Wen Su’s top-tier perception still allowed him to hear it.
But he wasn’t angry.
On the contrary, he was very happy.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
Arriving at the sofa area, He Yuan felt he shouldn’t sit—standing by Admiral Wen Su’s side, ready at all times, was his duty. But Admiral Wen Su signaled him to sit, and the order was very firm, so he obeyed.
A waiter brought desserts. Wen Su took one and handed it to him. He quickly accepted it, thinking he was supposed to hold this too, just like the drink.
But immediately after, Admiral Wen Su asked for another dessert and started eating it directly. So…
The dessert and drink in his hands were for himself?
He Yuan looked down blankly.
Then… I’ll just take a bite for now.
He scooped a piece of ice cream cake with the small spoon and put it in his mouth…
Wow! Delicious! Much better than what I make!
Take another two bites!
Completely conquered!
He closed his eyes to savor it carefully!
Suddenly, the surrounding chatter and music came to an abrupt halt.
He Yuan opened his eyes again and found that the harmony and liveliness from just a moment ago had completely frozen. Everyone turned their heads to look toward the hall entrance.
He looked over too.
… Umm!!!
Holding the spoon in his mouth, his eyes widened again.
Outside the sofa area, attracting everyone’s attention, the guy standing there bossily—wasn’t that the Little Young Master who was supposed to go on a blind date with Admiral Wen Su?!
