Both of them were taken aback when Chu Shaochen’s hand landed on Chi Ning’s hair.

The tickle in his hand made Chu Shaochen regain his composure first and smoothly rubbed his hair, looking and moving naturally, as if he had done it many times before.

“Honest?”

His fingertips hooked a strand of Chi Ning’s hair and asked in a low voice: “I didn’t know that you were in such a hurry.”

He was in a hurry?

Chi Ning blinked, rubbed his hair against Chu Shaochen’s palm, and knelt on the edge of the bed with his hands propped up in front of him, “How could I not be in a hurry, the matter is so important that it can’t be delayed.”

The Chi family was going to do new research, maybe they want to use the blue crystal to get some shady technology.

It will be beneficial if it was for humans, but if it’s aimed at the wealthy, it will be a waste of resources.

Azurite is one of the three rarest crystals at the moment. The natural production is extremely low, and several production areas were being patrolled by federal troops.

The artificial crystals can only be used as temporary substitutes, and cannot directly replace the natural crystals.

He didn’t know what the Chi family was going to do, but based on what he knew about the Chi family, it wasn’t going to be anything good.

“It’s very important.”

Chu Shaochen had a smile in his eyes, knowing that Chi Ning deliberately avoided the meaning of his words, “When is the deadline he gave you?”

Chi Ning heard these words and understood that Chu Shaochen intended to interfere and said, “Eldest brother didn’t say anything, but I think the sooner the better, he seemed in a hurry.”

He would not have told him if he hadn’t been in a hurry.

However, such an adult was just too impatient.

“Then left him hanging for a few days, and told him when the time was right.” Chu Shaochen drew his hand back and opened the terminal, saying, “If you promise too soon, they’ll think it’s too smooth.”

Chi Ning swept his sight across his face as he listened to Chu Shaochen’s statements, his heart secretly admiring him.

No wonder the people of the Federation had to be wary of Chu Shaochen; this mind, this heart, if he became an enemy, the threat he posed had to be dangerous.

“I’ll take General’s advice.” Chi Ning pulled up the crumpled blankets and got out of bed. “Then I’ll go back to the room to—”

“Study.”

With great difficulty, Chi Ning swallowed the word “rest” and looked at Chu Shaochen with a sincere expression.

There were so many books, and he hasn’t finished reading them yet.

The thirst for knowledge was overwhelming.

“There is a study room on the second floor, which is full of various professional books. Many of them are courses I studied in the military academy. If you were interested in the military academy before, you can go and have a look.”

Chu Shaochen stared at the terminal and was explaining things with Ka Xiu’s side, “If you need, you can also ask Voss to buy it for you.”

Before Qiao Si went to Chi’s family house to pick up Chi Ning to come over, there was a mention later that Chi Ning had brought a big box of books.

Combined with Chi Ning’s behavior of reading books even though he was on duty at night, he was pleased.

No matter when reading more is a good thing.

At the very least, he is more self-motivated than those idlers who just know how to eat, drink, and have fun while relying on the financial resources of their family.

Chi Ning was taken aback, then reacted and agreed, “Yes, I will go to the study, but I prefer silence while I study since it is more difficult to focus and readily influenced by the outside world.”

He was not very interested in the professional books of other subjects, but he can understand the courses of the Federal Military Academy.

“Only a young Omega has trouble concentrating.”

“Thank you General for complimenting me on my youth.”

Chi Ning showed his two canine teeth and smiled shyly, “Then General I will leave you alone and come back later to eat with you.”

Chu Shaochen did not expect Chi Ning could even catch the words, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he laughed.

Noticing that Chu Shaochen was in a good mood, Chi Ning fixed his clothes and hair so that no one would see him later and think they had done something by closing the windows and drawing the curtains.

After opening the door, Chi Ning had a sudden thought, turned his head, and asked, “Is this a reward from the General?”

“Well, such a sweet and cute Omega deserves a reward.”

Chu Shaochen said without raising his head, “In the future, if you want to eat anything, you can tell Voss in advance, the cooks at home will make it.”

Chi Ning heard such a straightforward compliment, no matter how thick his face was, he was a little embarrassed.

Nodding his head, he quickly left the room.

After calming his breath against the door, he turned around and saw Voss standing there, looking at him with an unsure face.

“Mr. Voss, the General is handling official business and may not like to be disturbed,” Chi Ning said as he moved towards his own room.

Voss noticed Chi Ning’s slightly reddish face and feigned calm expression, Voss remembered what he’d run into not long before, his body tensed and immediately understood.

“Don’t worry, Young Master Chi; I’ll instruct everyone to be careful in the future.”

Chi Ning gave a vague “hmm” and went straight back to his room.

Chi Ning took ten minutes to get dressed before lying on the bed with a book in his hand, reading and chatting with Tang Xi.

“Those people in your family are really something. They just sold you for resources.”

Tang Xi fought for Chi Ning, “Luckily General is a good person, not a violent, sadistic person, if that were the case, you would have been miserable.”

Chi Ning flipped through a page of the book and asked in disbelief, “What makes you think General is a bad guy? I thought everyone knew who he was, but to my surprise, quite a few people don’t know what he looks like.”

Chi Ning’s face stiffened as he remembered the first thought that came to his mind when he knew the person he would marry.

A big, muscle-spewing man, like a mountain, with fists bigger than his head, who didn’t like to wash his hair and face, with a scruffy beard—

The image in Chi Ning’s mind was gradually replaced by Chu Shaochen as his hair accidentally brushed his cheek.

The wide palm and slender fingers have thin calluses from years of practice. When they touch the skin, they can be a little rough, but it doesn’t hurt.

It felt very safe.

“Ning Ning?”

“What? I was fascinated by the plot just now.”

Tang Xi sighed, “I almost couldn’t keep my store, when can you come again? If you come with General, my store will definitely not have people coming to make trouble.”

“What’s the matter? Wasn’t it always peaceful before?” Chi Ning suppressing the thought just now, was immediately distracted, “Is someone asking you for protection money again?”

“Well, those people appear to have come from District 12, and law and order has been much worse lately.” Tang Xi lived in the basement and turned over, “But you’d better not come, in case you bring the General, what if he thinks you are a disobedient Omega who likes to run around?”

He heard that those nobles and Alphas all like obedient Omega.

Especially the kind who were obedient and pure, beautiful and unworldly, was very popular.

Although the security in the 7th district was much better than in the 12th, it was still a place where good and bad people mixed, there were many security issues, and there were some underground business establishments.

Although he envied Chi Ning for meeting a fairly reliable Alpha, he had only been in contact with him for a short time, and it would be disastrous if the other party, who like such a pure white O, discovered that Chi Ning had sneaked out to the underground market.

Chi Ning, who was barely able to maintain the innocent little white O, closed the book, “How can that work, I’ll help you think of a way!”

“Ning Ning, don’t be impulsive—”

“I’m not impulsive at all, I have a way.”

There were always more solutions than difficulties, Chu Shaochen had lived in District 12, and surely he would not be that superficial.

Tang Xi was overtaken by emotions as he heard Chi Ning’s words., “Ning Ning, in the future I will never sell high priced books to you again.”

Chi Ning:“…?”

High price book? Wait, what’s going on here!

“Xiao Xi, what did you do behind my back?”

There was resentment in his tone, “It’s a shame that I still treat you as a good friend. If you sell me books at a high price, won’t your conscience hurt?”

Tang Xi explained with a guilty conscience, “Actually, it’s not really a high price. It’s just that the books I occasionally recommend to you can’t be sold. Usually, we will sell them at a discount, but—”

“I think you are easy to cheat, so I give you the original price.”

Tang Xi grew up in District 7, and his parents weren’t around when he was young, so he had to be more considerate in order to make a living.

It’s normal to take a small advantage.

Chi Ning knew Tang Xi’s life and immediately laughed after hearing his explanation. “What’s taking advantage of this? If you sell me at a low price, you’ll be at a loss.”

“Wuwuwu, Ning Ning, you’re so kind. The Chi family is really blind and has no eyes. They let go of such a precious child like you, they’re really blind.”

Tang Xi asked in a low voice: “It really won’t affect your relationship with General?”

“No, no, General and I are…”

Chi Ning almost slipped his tongue and said quickly: “General is a good guy, and you’ll know that once you meet him, but he’s injured right now, and meeting you may take some time. You can close the store for a little time to rest. I’ll send you some money, which you can use first.”

“Where did you get the money?”

Tang Xi was surprised, “The Chi family is so harsh on you. Your part-time salary has been used to pay living expenses. I still have some money here. I can make it through ten to a half months.”

The Chi family was incredibly harsh with Chi Ning. He looked like a young master of the Chi family, who has no worries about food or clothing and attends prestigious schools. In fact, Chi Ning didn’t even have living expenses, let alone pocket money.

Chi Ning was stunned and turned over.

Hearing that Tang Xi scolded the Chi family for being nothing, his cheeks burned up.

He was so busy comforting Tang Xi that he even forgot that he was so poor.

Not to mention helping Tang Xi, he might not even have half a star coin on him.

“…Waahh, I found out that I’m really poor.”

Chi Ning also wanted to cry, he was so poor.

“Where’s your dear husband?”

“It’s not good to eat soft rice, is it?”

Tang Xi jumped up from the bed, “Ning Ning, you don’t call this eating soft rice!”

Chi Ning jumped in shock and asked blankly, “What’s that called?”

“Hard rice!”

Tang Xi made up a word, “That’s Federal General, he’ll need to rely on you one day, so he can be said to be eating soft rice. “

Although Chi Ning was reluctant to admit it, Tang Xi said the possibility was slim.

He thought about it for a while, and the image seemed to be…

It’s a bit weird.

When he chatted with Tang Xi, he always said something here and there, and as they talked, they left behind what they had started and talked about the new book Tang Xi had there.

When there was a knock on the door of the room, Chi Ning realized that it was already dinner time.

Chi Ning hurriedly said goodbye to Tang Xi, tucked the books under the bed, and rubbed his hair in the mirror.

Stepping on his slippers, he clattered to the door and took the lead before Voss could speak.

“My meal was also delivered to General’s room, and I want to eat with General.”

Voss was stunned and asked, “Young Master Chi, this—”

Seeing him puzzled, Chi Ning thought it was against the rules and lowered his head, “Can’t I? I thought it would make me feel more like a family member.”

Seeing this Voss hurriedly shook his head, “No no, Young Master Chi misunderstood, I’m so relieved that General can have an Omega like you by his side.”

At that word Chi Ning, who originally lowered his head, raised his head and looked at the door of Chu Shaochen’s room with slight dismay.

No wonder Chu Shaochen would be so indulgent to himself and help him a little to fool the Chi family.

Was it a lack of family relationships?

He just remembered that he did not know anything about Chu Shaochen’s life.

Coming from a poor district, even if he was a top Alpha, he must have experienced a lot to get to the federal military school.

And the discrimination only got worse in the Federal Military Academy.

How did Chu Shaochen get to where he is today?

It must be beyond the imagination of the common man.
