Chapter 104

The younger generation of Sturga had dinner together on the first day. Shi Yu paid special attention to Phil who was feeling unwell during the day. He saw that the white-haired, baby-faced boy had a dark complexion and his brows were tightly furrowed. It seemed that he had a poor appetite and could not even eat much.

Ah, Yulai seems to be...

...Are they not used to the climate and environment of this place?

After dinner, Shigure thought about it and decided it would be better to go and thank Phil in person.

Today he helped to advance all of Shi Yu's shopping expenses, and he also fainted for a while due to illness. Shi Yu felt very guilty that she could not help when Phil was unwell, but You Lai at least carried Phil to the bench and let him rest for a while.

Shi Yu went back to his room to wash up for a while, then changed his clothes and went out with the tablet.

The temporary residence arranged for them by the local nobles was a luxurious hotel. This floor was filled with young men and women from Sturga. They all seemed to know Shigure's identity. So while Shigure was looking for Phil's room, she also had to deal with other people's greetings to her. Although they were just a few greetings, Shigure was still a little nervous and embarrassed.

She was not used to the nobles' wording and way of speaking, and it was not until she saw Phil in the corridor that she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over.

"Phil!"

Phil's leisurely steps paused, he put his hands in his pockets, turned around suspiciously, and first glanced behind Shi Yu.

Not seeing the annoying figure, Phil put on a smile and went to meet him.

"Good evening, Shigure. What do you want to talk to me about? Are you here alone?"

"Yeah, that's right." Phil's way of speaking still had a touch of intimacy. Shigure smiled at him, raised the tablet, and said, "I'll pay you back, and then... thank you for your help today."

Phil waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's just a small amount of money, no need to pay it back."

"No, I asked you for help today, and then something like that happened... You didn't eat much dinner because you weren't feeling well, right? Consider this as compensation, I must pay it back."

Hearing this, Phil's smile deepened a little. He leaned closer to Shigure and said with a long tone: "What? Have you been keeping an eye on me all night, Shigure?"

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I am worried about you."

“…”

Phil's smile froze for some reason. He glanced at Shi Yu, then stood up again and shrugged, "Nothing to worry about. The food tonight wasn't to my liking, so I was planning to get a midnight snack."

Shi Yu said with relief: "Well, that's good. Tell me your account number and I'll transfer it to you..."

"There's no need to transfer the money. You're staying at my house now, why are you being so polite?" Phil wiped his face and said helplessly, "If you really want to make it up to me, how about going out for a midnight snack together and treating me?"

Shi Yu had just finished his meal and wasn't hungry at all.

Besides, no matter what, a midnight snack couldn't possibly cost more than the money Phil had advanced her, so she hesitated and wanted to refuse. Phil caught a glimpse of her and sighed, "Just eat something downstairs. It's not far away. Besides, there's no one to accompany me, and I'm not familiar with the place. What if I don't have an appetite..."

"There are trials tomorrow, and I don't know if I can still do it in this state."

Shi Yu: “…”

"...Okay, then I'll accompany you."

She made a bitter face and compromised under the coercion of her sense of morality.

Yulai discovered that Shigure was gone half an hour ago.

Shi Yu just said that she was going back to her room to wash up. It happened that he was also very tired today. Reminded by the girl's words, You Lai also took it seriously and went back to his room to tidy up his appearance.

About ten minutes later, when he returned to Shigure's room, he found that Shigure was gone.

Shi Yu didn't leave him a note or any message. When You Lai saw the empty room, he reacted quickly and hurriedly by taking out the terminal, sending her a message while quickly looking for someone in the corridor.

He never considered the possibility that Shi Yu might be busy and unable to reply. After only two minutes, he became anxious because he didn't receive a reply, like a puppy who accidentally lost its owner while holding a leash in its mouth, full of frustration and worry.

Going to see Lord Noah?

He leaned against the window in despair, holding on to the last hope, and slid his finger across the chat page with Shi Yu again.

"bite."

The terminal made a slight beep.

"I'm having a midnight snack downstairs. Nothing much to do. I'm already on my way back~"

The accompanying picture shows a whole plate of grilled skewers and fruits on the table, and Shi Yu shyly reveals half of her face in front of the camera in order not to worry him.

Yu Lai was stunned for a moment, his heart falling back into his chest as he uncontrollably zoomed in on the corner of the picture that contained Shi Yu.

No matter where you're going, at least tell him in advance.

He thought with a sour and bitter feeling, and also with fear.

You Lai leaned against the window, lowered his head and looked depressed for a long time. Then he picked up the terminal and was about to remind her to be careful on the way back, or tell him where the place was and that it would be no problem for him to pick her up - at this moment, a new message from Shi Yu came.

"Look down, Yulai, I see you!"

Yulai reflexively put the terminal into his pocket, leaned his hands on the windowsill, and quickly scanned the night.

The mountain breeze in the distance blew through the girl's black hair. Her eyes were bright and her skin was as gentle and white as moonlight. When she saw Youlai, she jumped happily and waved to him.

"Yulai~"

She was calling him.

At this moment, Youlai couldn't think of anything.

He wanted to jump down, run down, reach her as quickly as possible, and then guard her tightly, not going anywhere.

However, Youlai still retained a bit of rationality. He did not forget his duty as a guard and first observed whether there were any safety hazards near Shigure. As he looked, Phil, who was slowly following Shigure as if taking a walk, came into his sight.

Phil raised his eyelids, and seemed to have followed Shi Yu's gaze and noticed him. The corners of his lips curled slightly, revealing his evil little fangs.

Yulai:!

...Phil?!

You Lai was startled and suddenly had a bad feeling.

As expected, the white-haired Alpha who was not wearing a monitoring ring took two steps forward, put his arm around Shi Yu's slender shoulders, and whispered something in her ear. His movements were so ambiguous that they almost sounded like a whisper between lovers.

Yu Lai took two steps back, no longer able to watch, and hurriedly took the elevator to the first floor. Coincidentally, Shi Yu and Phil also walked into the lobby.

Yu Lai stepped forward with anger in his heart: "Phil, why are you following her? She must have some ulterior motive..."

Shi Yu blushed slightly and walked forward embarrassedly holding the lunch box containing the remaining skewers. Yu Lai's words stopped abruptly.

"I'm sorry, Youlai, I left without telling you. This is... the midnight snack I brought for you."

The girl held out the lunch box in her hand and observed him cautiously, as if to make sure whether he was angry or not.

Phil took two steps back and hid behind Shi Yu begging for mercy, shrugged at You Lai with a smile.

Yu Lai had no time to pay attention to him at this moment. Not only did he stop questioning, he even forgot the sadness and loss he had just felt. He straightened up a little uncomfortably, his eyes wandering, "Ah, ah? For me?"

"Well, you didn't eat much tonight, did you? This is for you. Phil took me out just to find something delicious for you..."

——She discovered it.

Not noticing the guilty whisper in the girl's voice, Yu Lai felt only the joy of being noticed by her. He was silent for a moment, then took over and said in a low voice, "You... I just..."

"Um?"

"I wasn't angry with you just now."

Shi Yu smiled and said, "I know."

"That's too much to buy. I'm not actually hungry. Uh, I don't mean I won't eat... I mean, next time you go somewhere, you can take me with you."

When leaving with Yulai, Shigure turned around and secretly glanced at Phil who stayed there.

Phil smiled and gave her a thumbs-up.

Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed - great, Phil's method worked. When he received Yu Lai's text message before, he realized this and specially bought some things for Phil to bring to Yu Lai to prevent him from getting angry.

Phil is really smart!

Phil, who was indeed smart, stayed in the hall for a while, slowly observing the chandelier above his head. Although he couldn't show it on his face, he was also relieved in his heart.

Now that he's appeased, the dog won't tell Noah... He can secretly take Shi Yu out for a midnight snack or something.

Phil was very unhappy about having to hide his whereabouts while having a meal with the little girl he liked, but when he thought of the Omega's cute smile, he felt it was okay. At least his efforts were not in vain.

Remembering that he had a trial tomorrow, Phil ruffled his silver hair in annoyance, then shook his arms and walked towards the elevator.

…

Noah's negotiation with the nobles was in the afternoon of the first day, and the second day was a social dance that Shi Yu didn't know much about. The Omegas she had seen on the spaceship changed into formal attire and drank, danced, and rubbed shoulders with the sons of local nobles in the luxurious ballroom.

"It sounds a bit like..."

The next day, Noah had nothing to do, so he went to Shi Yu's room to chat with her. After listening to Noah's brief introduction to friendship, Shi Yu raised her doubts: "Is your Omega preparing for marriage?"

Sturga was a noble, and the dance partner they invited was a noble from Monte Star. Although Shi Yu didn't know much about these interactions, it seemed that marriages among the nobility were based on the principle of being well-matched. The dance was a kind of dating venue to cultivate feelings in advance.

...That's what she said in the novel she read before!

"It depends on their ideas," Noah put the book on his lap, turned a page, and gently explained to her, "If they meet someone they like, they can ask the family for a marriage proposal. However, of course, it depends on the final compatibility."

"oh……"

"But marriage is too early for them now," Noah frowned and thought for a moment before saying softly, "Their main mission on this journey is to complete the family's trials and gain additional benefits for the family."

Shigure:?!

Does Omega also have this kind of mission?

Shi Yu was shocked, and in an instant he thought of many dark things, such as how the Omega of Sturga trapped the descendants of various nobles with just a few words, forcing them to hand over money and gold mining rights...!

"What are you thinking about, Shigure?"

Noah looked up at her, a hint of a smile in his eyes. "Our trial tasks are required to be completed within the scope of reasonable communication and will not violate any laws. So I think that what you imagine should not happen."

Shi Yu's thoughts were noticed, and he said awkwardly, "I was just thinking about it..."

Since all the Omegas in Sturga have this kind of trial mission, she has to give up her previous envious thoughts. Even if she can go out and play once a year, she doesn't want to do such a thing.

I guess Ed is the same...

Thinking of Ed, Shi Yu was suddenly stunned.

After coming here, no one had ever mentioned Ed to her, not even her good friend Youlai.

This was clearly the place where he had lived for over a decade, and Sturga had once had three sons with such extraordinary talent...

"Shigure, are you listening?"

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and looked at Noah: "What's wrong?"

"I just said..." Seeing the girl's confused expression, Noah shook his head and chuckled, "I want to ask you if you would like to reconsider what I told you on the first day, taking Youlai with you to visit the mountains together."

"Xiu is on duty today, responsible for guarding the hotel. I don't think you want to see him."

Shi Yu nodded quickly in affirmation. Compared to seeing Xiu, hanging out with Noah Yulai didn't seem so difficult to accept. Besides, she took another look at the tourist brochure yesterday. The mountain scenery here is indeed very famous... It would be a pity not to go.

Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Noah and asked seriously, "Then I can go, but let me ask you, Noah, do you have a good sense of direction?"

Noah was startled for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "It's always fine, don't worry."

The author has something to say:

I won’t reply to yesterday’s comments one by one. I have seen everyone’s comments, but apart from the extra chapters in the 1v1 context, there are other extra chapters before that that I still need to think about what to do.

I will tell you the details on my Weibo, so I won’t go into details here.
