“General, how far do we need to go to investigate the Chi family’s matter?”

“Find out the details of Chi’s family. The project in their hands, blue crystal is not an ordinary material, and there are not many experiments that can be used.”

Chu Shaochen tapped his finger on the table repeatedly.

Chi Ning’s gland obviously had a chance to recover, but Chi’s family took the lead in issuing the verdict, telling Chi Ning that he was just a low-level Omega and a waste.

But why did they give Chi Ning regular checkups?

This was something he realized was wrong from the last time Bai Chen gave Chi Ning a checkup, and such logic made no sense.

Ka Xiu on the other side of the terminal didn’t know what Chu Shaochen was thinking, and replied after listening, “Don’t worry, General, I will find out the result as soon as possible.”

“Um. After finding out the results, sort out the current movement of the Federation and report it to me.”

Chu Shaochen heard the knock on the door and closed the terminal’s page about the maintenance progress of the Helia.

Half a month has passed, and the routine maintenance of the Helia has not yet ended, exceeding the estimated time.

He wasn’t sure if it had anything to do with the attack, but it was clear he had been targeted.

“General—”

“Hang up first.”

Ka Xiu swallowed back his words, and said with a smile, “Yes, General, if there is any situation, I will report to you immediately.”

He was not deaf and heard the knock on the door.

According to Qiao Si, who was also Chu Shaochen’s Deputy, their cold-faced, ruthless general has fallen into the trap of love.

This time, Ka Xiu didn’t wait for Chu Shaochen to speak and hung up the terminal first.

Chu Shaochen looked towards the door, “Come in.”

Chi Ning stood outside the door, holding a wooden pan in his hand. He kicked the door twice but found that the door quality was too good to push.

With little hesitation, he pushed open the door with his butt sideways.

When he noticed Chu Shaochen staring at him, he smiled shyly and said, “I’ll accompany you to dinner so you won’t be bored if you have someone to talk to.”

Chu Shaochen didn’t understand how eating was related to boredom, but he liked Chi Ning’s energetic demeanor whenever he appeared.

“Why don’t you let someone bring it in for you?”

“I can take it myself, why should I ask for help?”

Chi Ning approached the bed, watched Chu Shaochen help set up the table, and placed the items.

“General, do you think I’m noisy?” he asked as he sat down, wiping his chopsticks with a soft cloth and handing them to Chu Shaochen.

He has no one to talk to in Chi’s family house, so he just needed to be a quiet, nonexistent young master.

No one will take the initiative to talk to him, nor will they listen to what he has to say.

But Chu Shaochen said that no matter what he said, he would listen.

So tempting.

“No, it’s very energizing.” Chu Shaochen asked, “You can tell me anything, I don’t mind listening to you.”

Today, in addition to mentioning Chi Ning’s gland dysplasia, Bai Chen also stated that the gland’s developmental delay will have an impact on Chi Ning’s psychological maturity as an Omega to some extent.

Even though Chi Ning was already eighteen, in a sense he was still an Omega with a teenage physique.

Chi Ning’s eyes lit up.

“Really?”

He declared that Chu Shao Chen was the best Alpha in the world.

There would not be a better Alpha than Chu Shao Chen.

Chu Shaochen was in a good mood as he saw the radiance in those beautiful eyes that still had a youthful spirit, and the adoration that could not be concealed or could be faked at all.

A dinner that both of them were very satisfied with.

After tidying up, Chi Ning went to wash up, and when he came back, he took a book from the study about the principles of mechas.

When he opened the door, he happened to see Chu Shaochen coming out of the bathroom.

Mostly because it was inconvenient to dress, Chu Shaochen just put on a bathrobe casually, which was loose and the belt was not even fastened.

Chi Ning stood at the door, staring at Chu Shaochen’s tough hair on his head, which swayed from side to side before it fell down, surrendering to the fluffy hair.

He participated in the war all year round and maintained a good figure.

The broad shoulders and thin waist and long legs were more obvious than usual.

Chi Ning locked his gaze on Chu Shaochen, recalling that this was the first time he had looked at Chu Shaochen in this way since the two had met.

Chu Shaochen had previously been either lying down or sitting.

So tall.

And… so handsome.

“Why are you back?” Chu Shaochen put down the towel, “Aren’t you going to rest?”

It wasn’t early; it was already past ten o’clock.

Although he previously persuaded Chi Ning to look after him, he does not want Chi Ning to stay up all night guarding by his bedside.

As a top Alpha, his recovery power is higher than ordinary people’s.

The injury that day was serious, but he can now move around after a few days of rest. He can recover in about a week if he controls his movements properly and does not lift heavy objects.

Chi Ning came back to his senses after realizing he had been distracted by seeing the man, and his shame rushed up. He hid his face behind a book.

“I promised to take good care of you, of course, I will come back. This way you won’t be—” able to bear it.

After Chi Ning saw Chu Shaochen ‘s expression, he swallowed the last few words.

Chi Ning’s eyes had dimmed slightly, his eyelashes had drooped, and his body was sluggish, making him look pitiful.

He asked in a low voice, “Does the general find me troublesome?”

It seemed to be quite troublesome.

He rambled on about how could anyone really not hate it.

He didn’t know why, the aggravation that was not there when he was coldly treated in the Chi family, flooded up like a tide in an instant.

He fell into a deep sea, difficult to break out of the whirlpool.

His eyes were wet, and he didn’t want Chu Shaochen to see it, so he moved his lips and squeezed the book tightly, “Then I won’t disturb the general, good night, general.”

“I’m not trying to drive you away.” Chu Shaochen called out to Chi Ning, looking at his back, his thin shoulders stiffened.

He sighed silently, “You can stay in the room, but you have to sleep, even if it’s to take care of me, you can’t read a book all night.”

Chi Ning turned his head, his eyes were red, “General, you mean—”

“I will never drive you away,” Chu Shaochen said as he reached out to stroke his hair, “where I am is your home, this is your home.”

His gray pupils were as bright as stars at this moment.

There was no condescending coldness or cold hostility like when he was in a battle; instead, he had a tenderness that would linger on him.

Chi Ning opened his lips slightly, unconsciously looking up at Chu Shaochen.

It was strange, his heart was beating so fast.

“Okay.”

Chi Ning lowered his head, revealing a section of the back of his thin white neck, “Then General, you can go to bed and lie down.”

Chu Shaochen: “?”

Lie down? Him? Go to bed?

Was the physiological knowledge of the young Omega lacking to this extent?

He discovered that Chi Ning didn’t feel anything wrong, curled the corner of his lower lip, and lay down on the bed as he instructed.

Seeing how cooperative Chu Shaochen was, Chi Ning walked to the bed with the book in his arms. After putting the book down, he squatted on the bedside, fiddled with something, and took out the medicine box.

Looking up at Chu Shaochen with a smile on his head, “It’s better to change the bandage this way.”

Chu Shaochen: “…”

“Just changing bandage?”

Chi Ning opened the medicine box and took out the bandage, stunned when he heard this “What else if not changing out the bandage? Doctor Bai explained that the bandage needs to be changed twice a day.”

He wrote everything in a small notebook, twice a day.

Dr. Bai came by at noon and should have changed the bandage once, so the second change was at night.

Voss has already rested, and the rest of the people were not as experienced as he was, so of course he was the one to change Chu Shaochen’s bandage.

The slightly hideous wound was exposed after taking off the slightly damp gauze.

Chi Ning’s smile disappeared in an instant, and when he raised his eyes to see Chu Shaochen whose expression remained motionless, his eyes became moist again.

Chu Shaochen raised his head and met Chi Ning’s eyes, losing all anger.

“It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Lie.

How could such a large wound, with the skin torn apart, not hurt?

Chu Shaochen was lying on a stretcher that day, his face pale from pain, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

Was this Alpha, who is attempting to be brave and save face, thinking he was an idiot?

Chi Ning’s eyes were moist as he stared at Chu Shaochen; he cleaned the wound with a cotton swab, slightly raised his eyelids, and noticed Chu Shaochen frowning.

See see, he knew it was painful.

Chi Ning quickly lowered his head and approached, his lips pursed to examine the wound carefully, and blew lightly twice.

The stinging pain at the wound instantly subsided as the cool wind blew past.

Chu Shaochen’s jaw was clenched, his eyes lowered, and his gaze was drawn to Chi Ning’s face. He looked candidly at him without attracting his attention.

His cheeks and lips were rosy probably because he had just gotten out of the shower.

Pouting slightly, he blew air on his wound one after another, his movements slow and careful, as if he were comforting a child.

His heart seemed to be grasped by a hand, and it seemed to be filled by something.

He looked away, but he happened to glance over Chi Ning’s loose neckline, and two slender and delicate collarbones came into his eyes.

The skin was white and the collarbone was slim.

Some places…

Were pink.

“This way, it won’t hurt anymore.” Chi Ning raised his head and smiled at him, “General, do you feel better?”

Chu Shaochen suppressed the overwhelming desire/thought and bent his legs calmly to avoid frightening Chi Ning.

A teenage Omega, still young.

He shouldn’t scare Chi Ning.

“Well, much better.”

“That’s good.”

Chi Ning re-bandaged Chu Shaochen’s wound and helped him lie down again.

He then turned off the headlights, leaving only the bedside lamp on.

Chu Shaochen had not yet calmed down and was about to let Chi Ning sit on the sofa, which would be more comfortable than a chair, but then the position next to him was concave.

A corner of the quilt was lifted, and he watched Chi Ning lie down naturally.

“Wait—”

“What’s wrong?”

Chi Ning sat up and straightened the pillow. Hearing Chu Shaochen’s faintly urgent words, he asked in a daze, “Is the general worried that I will sleep uncomfortably? No, I can sleep just fine.”

Except in the Chi family.

He always felt that someone was going to scratch his neck.

“No, I mean—”

If he didn’t know that Chi Ning was not seducing, Chu Shaochen would really think that Chi Ning did it on purpose.

Chi Ning let out an “oh,” grabbed the quilt corner, and thought about it carefully.

Is it possible that Chu Shaochen felt he was bothering him? That’s why he was uneasy.

How can that work? He must be close to take care of him in order to write a good observation diary.

Patting Chu Shaochen on the shoulder, Chi Ning asked, “Is it possible that I can’t? The general wasn’t concerned about my lack of sleep before, so this shouldn’t be an issue, right? I’ll stay with the general all night, so you can ask me whatever you need.”

Whatever was needed was readily available.

Even the needs at night.

Everything was possible.

Chu Shaochen took a deep look at Chi Ning, then closed his eyes.

“As long as you are happy.”

“General, good night,” Chi Ning said as he lay under the quilt and stared at Chu Sahochen with his eyes unblinking.

The Omega’s sweet and soft voice easily soothed Chu Shaochen’s helplessness, leaving only indulgence.

Chu Shaochen reached out and touched Chi Ning’s hair, smelling like shower gel at home.

“Good night.”

Chi Ning curved his lips, closed his eyes, and slept very peacefully.

His gaze fell on Chi Ning’s sleeping face, and Chu Shaochen’s eyes softened little by little, as if he saw the sleepy-eyed boy in his memory.
