Time goes by especially fast and the first-semester a.s.sessment of St. Romia Military Academy’s reformed educational system was coming up soon.
Due to his bustling academic life, Lin Yuan put other things off to the side for the time being. He must make an all-out effort for the military academy’s stringent evaluation system. Lin Yuan had already won the Outstanding Student of the Year honorary certificate. As the squad leader of the Command Department’s Cla.s.s 1, he cannot allow his performance to betray the confidence put in him by his fellow cla.s.smates. Since everyone voted for him, he must do his best.
In the past few days, Lin Yuan has been hanging around the library to review almost every day. Snow too has to deal with the entrance examination of the medical school. The two of them have both made an unspoken agreement to make the most of every second to review, practically treating the library as their homes.
Two little Omega monsters study books in the library as if their lives depended on it, Caesar and Brian naturally wanted to accompany them.
Every day after dinner, there seemed to be a type of tacit agreement between the four of them to go to the library together.
Brian and Caesar didn’t need to review so earnestly, leaving aside that Brian had already learned these courses under the guidance of Berg from the time he was a child. As a prince, he has also long since been able to recite a majority of the theoretical knowledge in regards to the Command Department frontwards and backward. However, Lin Yuan and Snow are going to the library and so the two of them naturally want to come along. With their Omegas at their side, even the dry and dull revision process becomes joyous and harmonious.
Very soon, the time comes to take the exams.
Military Theory, Emperor’s XX History, Battle Operation Technique, Cosmic Mechanics, Introduction to Outer s.p.a.ce, and so on, one subject after another, testing eight courses for four days in a row, all students were tested to the point of nearly hacking up blood.
Because Lin Yuan had been laboriously reviewing for more than half a month, he did very well in the exam room. When he finished the exam, a glittering smile covered his face.
On the way back to the dormitory, Lin Yuan also excitedly matched his answers up against Caesar’s, “Caesar, what did you choose for the last question?”
Caesar couldn’t help but smile and say as he came into contact with Lin Yuan’s bright eyes: “Why, do you not have confidence in the answer you chose? ”
Lin Yuan very honestly said: “En, I am certain of all the other questions, it’s only on this question that I’m unsure of, I randomly guessed on it. ”
Caesar said: “You should’ve chosen C, Cosmic Calendar Year 327, February 1.”
“……oh, then I chose the wrong one.” Lin Yuan smiled and said, “Sure enough, I can’t guess the right answer every time, ah.”
At that time he was taking the entrance exam for the military academy, there was a question in the Theoretical Course that he couldn’t answer. He randomly made a wild guess and unexpectedly guessed it correctly. Thus, he received a full 300-points school score in his admission records, thereby attracting Caesar’s attention.
Good luck does not pay a visit to you every time, this time he guessed incorrectly, Lin Yuan, however, did not mind this. In any case, he spared no effort while reviewing. It was good enough that he could look into his heart with a clear conscience, he couldn’t get full marks every single time.
Lin Yuan looked back at Caesar and changed the topic: “That’s right, what plans do you have after we’re let out for vacation, ah?”
Caesar smiled and said: “I want to go to Planet Rennes to see snow.”
Immediately, Lin Yuan said excitedly: “Okay, ah, I will be your tour guide! The snowy scenery in my hometown is indeed the most beautiful in the whole Empire. Planet Rennes has a lot of beautiful attractions and there are also all kinds of artistic ice sculptures. We can even go skiing……”
Looking at Lin Yuan’s excited appearance, Caesar couldn’t help but grudgingly heave a sigh at the bottom of his heart.
Lin Yuan’s nerves are truly super thick, making it so that people are unable to face him straight-on. The two are now in a romantic relationship. Caesar said that he wanted to go to Lin Yuan’s hometown. This is obviously to meet his family and set the pace of their relationship, yet Lin Yuan says with an unbothered face…… I can be your tour guide?
Evidently, this little guy had not realized that Caesar was not going there in order to “travel” and “see the snowy scenery”, but rather to “meet the parents”.
***
Their minds ran on the same wavelength. While Snow was packing his luggage in his dorm room, Brian suddenly walked up to Snow with a thick face and asked: “Are you going back home for vacation?”
Snow gave him a puzzled glance, “Heading back, ah, what’s going on? ”
Brian said in all smiles: “Take me along with you.”
Snow: “……what are you going to be doing over there?”
Brian smiled and said: “I want to see the place where you grew up. Besides, your dads will be staying over here the whole time and you’ll be all by yourself going home, you might as well bring me along.”
After a short period of silence, Snow only said faintly: “The Cigar Galaxy is very cold, you won’t be accustomed to it going over there.”
Brian rushed to say: “How could that be so, I’ve especially wanted to go there to see the snow ever since I was a kid. I heard that the snowy scenery in your hometown is pretty nice.”
Snow: “……”
This pesky Alpha made Snow feel very helpless, most of all was the expectant smile that was meeting his gaze, this kind of shining gaze was simply like a large dog begging for food from its owner……
Snow is not as thick-headed as Lin Yuan and he has long since seen through Brian ‘s intentions in his eyes— holiday trips for two are indeed one of the best ways to further a relationship between couples. Many of these couples take a qualitative leap in their relationships throughout the course of a trip…… Two people staying at the same hotel, sleeping in the same bed, it was difficult to guarantee what kind of things would happen.
Furthermore, Brian did not look like a man of honor who would look at his Omega beside him without making a move.
This guy ordinarily just likes to steal kisses from Snow. If the two of them spend their vacations together, G.o.d knows whether or not he would just directly overwhelm him and mark him?
Snow hesitated for a second, saying: “I’m only staying for a couple of days at Planet Oman before coming back, Father bought a house near the school, so I have to move all of my stuff over, then will live there in the future.”
“You’re going to be moving, ah?” Brian’s pair of eyes brightened: “Then that’s perfect, you’ll tire yourself out too much moving by yourself, I’ll go over and lend a hand!”
His eyes full of expectations simply made anyone unable to refuse him. His thick-faced coaxing and pestering is certainly his best weapon in dealing with Snow.
Under Brian’s expectant gaze, Snow ultimately relented and stiffly nodded, saying: “……then ……alright, you come over and help me out. Father has already booked my ticket for me, it’s for the s.p.a.cecraft on the evening of the 6th.”
Brian hurriedly said: “Okay, I’ll book it at once!”
Looking at Brian who was smugly running off to book a ticket, Snow could not help but helplessly wrinkle his eyebrows—
He never thought that someone would like to stick to him so much, seeing himself all day long didn’t bother him at all. But even stranger, Snow himself wasn’t even bothered by being stuck to by Brian either?
Could it be because he was getting used to it?
***
The test scores came out the next day and were sent to each person’s inbox by email. Only the grades of each course and the rank of themselves in their own cla.s.s were given. Other peoples’ grades were unable to be known since they were **.
All four pa.s.sed without a hitch, none of them failed any subjects. Lin Yuan even lived up to expectations and took second place for the best grades in their cla.s.s. Lin Yuan presumed that the first place must have been taken by Caesar and ran off to Caesar’s bedroom to ask. As expected, Caesar had gotten full marks.
Lin Yuan could not help sticking his thumb up in admiration, “You really are too fierce.”
Caesar gave a small smile and said silently to himself: “If one isn’t a bit fierce, how could you conquer this little monster that is looked upon as an idol by all of the Betas in the school?”
Lin Yuan came face to face with the glimmering smile Caesar wore, somewhat mistrustfully saying: “What are you smiling at, ah?”
Caesar put away his smile and said seriously: “When do you plan on going home?”
Lin Yuan said: “Tomorrow evening, General Udir has booked tickets for me and Snow and we will also be meeting up with his dad tomorrow morning.”
Caesar asked: “Would you like me to accompany you over?”
Lin Yuan hurriedly said: “No need, just going together with Snow is fine.”
Caesar didn’t have much more to say then. He had this big brother Snow at his side and he was in a military district with good public security. He wasn’t worried that anything would happen to Lin Yuan. All-day tomorrow was just enough time to think about what gifts to bring to this little monster’s adoptive mother and sister. This time cannot be a repeat of the tragedy that was meeting the Marshal. At the very least he has to leave a good impression on his adoptive mother and sister.
That evening, Lin Yuan finished taking a bath very early and played a few mech battles in pa.s.sing.
Almost three months had already pa.s.sed to the day when he was temporarily marked by Caesar in Cepheus, that is, next time he has to inject an inhibitor to suppress his estrus.
He didn’t know what was going on either. While he was sleeping in the middle of the night, he was abruptly roused by a frightful dream, and the strange stirring in the depths of his body made Lin Yuan break out in sweats all over his body. The odd feeling of emptiness was just like being bitten by millions of ants……
“Mmn……”
Lin Yuan blushed and stretched a hand into his pants, holding the offending part and hastily resolved it, but strangely, his body seemed to be incapable of obtaining any satisfaction at all. On the contrary, in the wake of the first venting, that weird sense of emptiness became even stronger.
Lin Yuan scrambled to the table and opened that locked drawer with shaking fingers—
Inside there was a transparent bottle in the drawer filled with white pills, which were inhibitor pills mailed over by Dr. Fornt previously and because his estrus was suppressed by Caesar’s temporary mark, Lin Yuan has not taken any of these for the past three months, but the situation tonight seems to be somewhat off. Lin Yuan no longer hesitates to take a pill and swallow it down with warm water. He then dashes into the bathroom to take a cold shower.
Strange desires within the body were slowly pressed back down, Lin Yuan sat in the bathtub, letting out a relaxed sigh at last.
He headed back to bed once again, but couldn’t fall back asleep. Lin Yuan always felt that a ferocious beast seemed to be imprisoned in the depths of his body. Even though it was complacent for the time being, there would inevitably be a day where it would break out of its cage…… it was just as if a vicious beast was forcibly locked away in a zoo. It has been suppressed for too long and had acc.u.mulated too much anger. Once the cage is opened, the consequences are simply unthinkable……
Uncle Ling Feng is a professional doctor, the inhibitors he makes should be useful, shouldn’t they? Lin Yuan can only think like this to disperse the intense uneasiness that suddenly surges in his heart.
***
The next morning, Snow and Lin Yuan had already left by the time Ceasar and Brian had gotten out of bed.
Thus, two bored Alphas grouped together and went shopping in town. Caesar was going to buy a housewarming gift for Lin Yuan’s mother and sister. Brian planned to buy Snow some delicious things to bring onto the s.p.a.cecraft for snacks. After strolling about for half a day, they soon completed their tasks. When they came back to the dormitory, the two Omegas unexpectantly still hadn’t returned.
Brian couldn’t help but ask: “You said Snow took Lin Yuan back to his dad’s place. What on earth are they doing?”
Caesar said: “They ought to be getting inhibitor injections…… it’s almost been three months since they were marked.”
Brian froze and touched his nose a bit gloomily.
—Such a mark that expires after three months is truly unpleasant. It seems that Brian ‘s Alpha best before date has already pa.s.sed. Snow can toss him away into the garbage can. In the future, as long as there is an inhibitor, Snow won’t have a use for Brian.
Brian and Caesar looked at each other face to face……
How could these Alphas be feeling so pitiful?
The value of their existence appears to be worth less than an inhibitor?
In the eyes of Lin Yuan and Snow, these two Alphas are indeed pretty handy as temporary inhibitors.
Yet Snow was gradually lowering the defenses erected around his heart for Brian and was even a little moved. Lin Yuan, on the other hand, was slow enough to make a person unable to stand to look at him.
Even after going through two days of wilderness group training, mutually comforting each other in a small tent with Caesar all throughout the night, the simple-minded Cla.s.smate Lin Yuan very quickly forgot about that matter and devoted all his energy to studying.
Ling Feng went over and specially tidied up the inside of the place that Udir bought in advance. When Lin Yuan and Snow searched for the house in light of the address, the house was already put together very neatly and tidily. It had a very homely feeling.
Ling Feng was wrapped around in an ap.r.o.n preparing a meal for Snow and Lin Yuan, Udir was lending a hand off to the side. It was hard to imagine the General of the Rose Legion who has always possessed a gentlemanly elegance would surprisingly roll up his sleeves to help cut up vegetables, slicing them uniformly.
The sumptuous lunch was quickly served on the table and the four of them ate around the table.
Lin Yuan looked at the way Udir smiles and brings the dishes to Ling Feng and Snow and he couldn’t help but feel a bit of sourness rise at the bottom of his heart—
The feeling of a whole family coming together is truly nice.
Looking at Snow and his fathers sitting all together, Lin Yuan was especially envious. He was unable to get in touch with his father and he didn’t have a clue where his dad was. Lin Yuan didn’t even know for sure if they were safe and sound. That type of feeling of his heart being squeezed was particularly painful……
Above all, when compared with the warm scene of Snow’s family being reunited and Lin Yuan just sitting there looking very lonely and helpless.
Seeing Lin Yuan’s hanging his head silently eating food, Ling Feng couldn’t help but take the initiative to pa.s.s a pork chop over to him, softly saying: “Xiao Yuan, try it, I made it myself……”
Lin Yuan immediately looked up and smiled, saying: “Thank you Uncle, I’ve got it from here.”
Ling Feng looked at Lin Yuan and wondered what the right thing to say was.
The connection between him and Ling Yu has been broken off for a long time. Udir even a.n.a.lyzed the probability of Rosen and Ling Yu still being alive, but the unease in Ling Feng’s heart nevertheless has yet to lessen……
How difficult would it be for Xiao Yuan if by any chance something had happened to Ling Yu?
He didn’t even dare think about the aftermath of this.
Looking at the youth who had always been lively and cheerful hanging his head down in a depressed manner, Ling Feng could only feel unimaginably distressed.
After the meal, Ling Feng called for Snow and Lin Yuan to come into a room and carefully examined their physical conditions. The pheromone levels in their blood tended to 0, clearly still not entering estrus. Ling Feng then laid down his worries, brought the inhibitor out and individually injected it into the two of them.
The transparent liquid unhurriedly flowed into their bodies through their veins, both Snow and Lin Yuan breathed out a sigh of relief at last.
The effectiveness of this injection is three months, and the injection of this inhibitor means that they have no need to worry for at least three months.
On the way back, Lin Yuan kept his hands in his pockets and silently bowed his head as he moved forth. Snow perceived his downcast mood and couldn’t help saying quietly: “Xiao Yuan, are you still worried about Marshal Rosen?”
After a moment of silence, Lin Yuan said in a low voice: “I don’t know how he is doing right now, I haven’t been able to reach him at all.”
Snow lightly patted his little brother’s shoulder, comforting: “Don’t worry, he might be busy at the moment, if something had happened to him, it’d have already been announced in the news by now.”
Lin Yuan nodded, “En.”
Snow changed the topic and said, “Head back and rest for a bit, go over to the s.p.a.ce Station for the evening s.p.a.cecraft. By the way, Brian said he would be coming along with me and bought a ticket for this trip.”
Lin Yuan said in surprise: “Is Brian meeting up with Caesar? Why are they both going to the Cigar Galaxy?”
Snow also said in surprise: “Caesar is going too?”
Lin Yuan nodded his head, “Yeah, he said he wanted to go with me to see the snowy scenery……”
The two looked at each other and then simultaneously looked away in embarra.s.sment.
—These two large doting Alphas, why do they have to follow them everywhere they go?
***
Lin Yuan didn’t antic.i.p.ate that Caesar would not only follow after him but would even be staying with him too.
After pa.s.sing through the security check and boarding the cosmic pa.s.senger s.p.a.cecraft, when Lin Yuan found his cabin in accordance with the ticket number, he discovered that in the seat opposite to him, it was not Snow at all. Rather, it was a guy standing tall, the view of his back appearing extremely familiar.
That guy heard some movement, turned his head around, and gave a small smile at him. His smile was handsome and dazzling.
Lin Yuan abruptly froze where he stood in shock: “……Cae, Caesar? How did you get here?”
Caesar said frankly: “I exchanged tickets with Snow.”
Lin Yuan: “……………… ”
The justification Caesar gave the exchange of tickets with Snow was that he and Lin Yuan are in the same cla.s.s. The teacher for an upcoming exam was far too abnormal and had a lot of tricky questions. With the two of them staying together, it was the perfect chance to talk over how he should solve those questions he couldn’t do.
When Caesar spoke, he was very earnest and serious, as if he really was switching seats for the purpose of consulting the subjects with Lin Yuan. Although Snow knew that it was impossible for them to only discuss the problems together, since Caesar offered to change tickets, Snow was also found it embarra.s.sing to refuse him outright.
No matter what, their two cabins would be near to each other and it will be the same when he goes looking to chat with Lin Yuan tomorrow at daybreak after tonight pa.s.ses.
It’s just that, seeing the smile plastered on Cla.s.smate Brian’s face on the bed across from him, helping him pack his bags, Snow suddenly felt like he had “fallen into a trap”.
This s.p.a.cecraft set off from Po Military Starfield, pa.s.sed through Lyra, and then arrived at the Cigar Galaxy. It was much faster than the trip Lin Yuan took on his way to school and the whole journey took only four days. The s.p.a.cecraft pa.s.senger capacity was also relatively smaller. There were a whole bunch of VIP cabins. The VIP double room cabins were comparable to the double rooms of hotels. The expansive beds, the plush couch-like safety chairs, and even the personal bathrooms were put together very cleanly and tidily.
This sort of cozy environment is indeed worthy of the high price of VIP tickets.
Now that Caesar had exchanged his ticket with Snow’s, Lin Yuan was also too embarra.s.sed to say “I’ll go switch it back” and was forced to sit down on the other bed.
After a fit of violent tremors, the s.p.a.cecraft quickly took off, leaving the Po Military Starfield and smoothly entered the s.p.a.ce channel.
It was already more than ten o’clock in the evening. Through the porthole, one could see the landscape of the cosmos, but Lin Yuan simply was not in the mood to appreciate it. He hung his head down and began dozing off.
When Caesar saw that his mind was clearly growing weary bit by bit, he said in a soft voice: “Xiao Yuan, go to bed a bit earlier if you are tired.”
“En…… Then I’ll go to sleep first.” Lin Yuan yawned and rubbed his eyes. He took off his coat, laid down on the bed, and covered himself with the quilt.
Past all expectations, while he had just been nodding off sitting in the safety chair, he, however, couldn’t get to sleep after lying down.
For some reason, his mind seemed a bit restless and his body’s reactions seemed to grow strange, but he couldn’t tell where exactly the weirdness was coming from. He started feeling different to some extent ever since he got the injection of that inhibitor, just as he had always done.
Seeing that Lin Yuan was laying down, Caesar thoughtfully turned off the lights in the room and the inside of the cabin suddenly fell into darkness.
Lin Yuan wrapped his quilt around him tightly and shut his eyes. While he still couldn’t fall asleep, Caesar next to him nevertheless soon fell into a deep sleep, he breathed evenly.
He doesn’t know how long pa.s.sed, the s.p.a.cecraft encountered a fluctuating airflow and suddenly jolted. Subsequently, a strange warmth rose from within Lin Yuan’s body and it swept through his whole body like a storm!
He soon hardened and the unmentionable place behind him even contracted impatiently, as if longing for something, the sense of emptiness in his body grew stronger and stronger, a strange trembling sensation slowly climbed from the base of his spine to the top of his head……
Lin Yuan opened his eyes wide in shock— wha, what is going on here?!
The author has something to say:
Everyone previously guessing the location of their first time did not guess it, hehe, the protagonists’ first time is on a shaking ship, they are not ordinary shakes of a ship, it’s a s.p.a.cecraft……
