Chapter 112

Shi Yu was taken to the small lounge on the second floor of the banquet hall.

"Please take a rest," Nicole leaned over and instructed before leaving. "Master Noah is downstairs comforting the frightened guests. He will come to see you when he is done."

Shi Yu was uneasy: "I..."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Shigure paused, gave up, and just shook his head at her.

"I understand. I'll be waiting outside. If you need anything, please call me anytime."

Nicole stepped out of the door and closed it gently.

Shi Yu looked down from the second floor and saw that the hall was still in chaos. The doctor who came hurriedly with a medicine box was bandaging the injured Alpha, and around them were people who seemed to be close associates of the injured person's faction and were attacking Noah.

A group of guards were waiting behind Noah, looking ready to rush out to look for someone at any time. Shi Yu stared at the situation below worriedly, fearing that the situation would develop in a disadvantageous way for Wayne.

She bit her lip in confusion and wondered why Wayne came here?

...This afternoon, Xia Feng said that he and Wayne were on a business trip.

This treaty concerns the next selection of candidates for the military department. Wayne is not in the military academy, and he is also the heir, so it is normal for him to attend the banquet, but she did not expect it.

I didn't expect Noah and Wayne to bump into each other, and I didn't expect that the things I had been hiding from him would be revealed in such an occasion. He left without saying anything. Was he... disappointed in her?

The more he thought about it, the more restless he became. Shi Yu paced back and forth in the room anxiously. After making up his mind, he grabbed the door handle, but found that the door was locked from the outside.

"...Nicole, Nicole?" Shi Yu was stunned and knocked on the door quickly, "Are you there?"

"I'm here, Miss Shigure. What can I do for you?"

Shi Yu gripped the door handle tightly and tried a few more times anxiously: "Why is the door locked? I want to go down and take a look. Could you please open the door?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Shigure," Nicole replied apologetically, "The situation downstairs is too chaotic, and your guards are not here at the moment. I need to ensure your safety."

"Does ensuring safety mean locking me up?!"

"...I'm very sorry. I will lift the alert after Master Noah solves the problem. Please be patient."

"If you need anything, you can tell me and I will do my best to satisfy you."

No matter how hard he tried, the door handle wouldn't turn. Shi Yu closed his eyes and felt a little tired for a moment.

"Is this what Noah meant?"

She asked, leaning against the door distractedly.

Nicole said "Please forgive me" and didn't respond again.

Shi Yu returned to the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor and looked out for a while. She was still feeling confused and anxious. She looked around and found a small window for ventilation behind the sofa.

The width of the window was just enough for one person to pass through. She stood on the sofa and observed that the second floor was about three or four meters above the ground, with a small platform in the middle. There was a relatively solid pipe on the right side of the window. She reached out and tried, and found that she could touch it.

She turned around and took another look at the situation in the hall. The guards were gone and she didn't know if they had gone out to look for someone.

I hope Wayne leaves quickly, but not so soon, Shigure thought.

She took a deep breath, rolled up the hem of her skirt to her thighs, and then took a belt from the dressing table to tighten it. Then she stepped from the sofa to the window sill, carefully leaned out, hugged the pipe, and lifted her feet off the window sill, slowly dangling in the air.

Shi Yu was so scared that her whole body was shaking and her palms were sweaty. For a moment she felt like she was going to fall, but she didn't.

She used some strength she didn't know where it came from, hooked her legs around the pipe, and slid down onto the platform. Then she did the same thing from the platform, using her hands and feet to hold onto the pipe and reach the ground.

Shi Yu's legs felt weak, and the feeling of finally landing on the ground made her feel relaxed but also a little confused.

...Where should I find Wayne?

This small planet is close to the center of the galaxy and is the private property of Sturga. There is no public route to it, and guests must take Sturga's private spacecraft to reach it...

Yes, the space station!

If Wayne wants to leave, he must go to the space station. After all, there is no other way to leave except the space station within the family. Shi Yu thought of this, estimated the direction, fixed the hem of her skirt, and hurriedly ran towards the space station.

Behind the brightly lit banquet hall is a garden, which is generally used by guests to enjoy the scenery and relax. Only the main road is equipped with street lights, while other corners are quiet and dark, which is quite suitable for an atmosphere of ambiguous whispers and mutual confession of feelings.

It seemed that something had happened in the hall, and the garden was quiet at this time. In order to take a shortcut, Shi Yu could only pass through the garden. However, these flowers and green plants were pleasing to the eye during the day, but now they looked like mysterious and strange shadows, swaying in the night wind.

Shi Yu's pace gradually slowed down.

She tried her best not to pay attention to the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves, but when she heard someone's faint footsteps right behind her, she let out a startled cry and froze in place, trembling.

"Shigure."

The girl's voice was light and calm.

Shi Yu was slightly startled and turned around to see Xia Feng, dressed in a suit, staring at her straight.

"Xia Feng?"

Shi Yu's voice was trembling. She took a few steps closer and asked anxiously, "Didn't you leave? What happened just now...Where's Wayne?"

Xia Feng still had Wayne's coat in her arms. She didn't answer but asked calmly, "Let's not talk about us first. Why did you become Noah's fiancée?"

A trace of panic flashed across Shi Yu's face, but Xia Feng remained calm, staring at her and asking, "Didn't you say you were going on a trip? Why did you lie?"

"I, this is because..."

"Do you like him?"

Shi Yu was speechless. Xia Feng's series of indifferent questions seemed like an interrogation. Her nose felt a little sore and her voice seemed to be about to burst into tears.

“…No, I don’t like him.”

"Being with Noah is just because a lot of things happened in between. I will explain it slowly. Let's talk about it with Wayne..."

Xia Feng glanced at her. The girl looked disheveled and covered her eyes with tears in her eyes, which made the Alpha's gaze stay fixed on her. Only then did Xia Feng notice that Shi Yu's dress was rolled up to her thighs, and the expensive dress had many scratches and hems.

No matter how the emotions fluctuated before, they slowly cooled down at this moment.

She lowered her eyes in silence, took out a tissue from her pocket, and handed it to Shi Yu: "Don't cry."

"We were waiting for you. Don't worry about our safety. Noah's people can't find us."

Xia Feng explained calmly, "As for what happened just now, Wayne just taught a scumbag a lesson. He is still here. Follow me."

Shi Yu took the tissue and wiped her face without saying a word. Just as she was about to make a ball of paper, her eyes started to feel sore and moist again. She followed Xia Feng forward with her head down, until she bumped into the girl's back with a "bang".

Xia Feng seemed to sigh softly.

She frowned slightly and turned to look at Shi Yu. The petite Omega was like a stray cat with a tearful face, lowering his head in frustration, tears falling continuously and silently.

Xia Feng took out the tissue again and carefully wiped her tears. He said in a gentle and calm tone, "I was wrong just now. Calm down, Shi Yu."

"You said there were other reasons. I believe you. There's nothing to be sad about."

Shi Yu choked and shook her head, repeating "I'm sorry" vaguely. She had never experienced the feeling of being exposed for lying and questioned in person. Even Xia Feng, who had always been accommodating and taking care of her, showed a sense of coldness and coercion. She didn't even dare to think about Wayne's reaction.

But Xia Feng quickly brought her to the pavilion in the garden. Wayne was leaning against the pillar with his arms folded. Seeing them, the boy frowned and walked closer, asking in a slightly hoarse voice.

"What's going on?"

There was silence around him for a moment. Shi Yu lowered her head, not daring to look at him, still sobbing uncontrollably. Xia Feng was silent for a moment and said, "She must have sneaked out just now. I didn't notice her."

...?

What was it that Wayne asked, her injury?

Shi Yu was confused by Xia Feng's answer and even forgot to sob. The smell of chili peppers faintly filled his nose. He heard Wayne say "hmm" and then asked, "Why are you crying?"

"Does it hurt?"

Shi Yu finally couldn't help but look up. Wayne's gloomy green eyes stared at the wound on her exposed knee. When he saw her look up, he frowned and looked at her.

The young man was only wearing a shirt underneath his suit, his bow tie was loose, and his well-groomed red hair had long since spread out in a mess, giving him a rather casual and uninhibited look. Just one glance at him and Shi Yu recalled the way he turned away without any reluctance at the banquet today. He suddenly felt depressed and even sadder.

She sobbed and whispered, "...I was locked up just now. I did it when I climbed down from the second floor."

As she spoke, the black-haired girl moved a little closer like a kitten, and as if she had been wronged, she showed him the scratches on her palms left from climbing the pipe, as well as the injuries on her knees and inner thighs. When she lifted the hem of her skirt to reveal the skin on her inner thighs, the two Alphas' eyes either drooped or froze, and they were briefly unsure how to react for a moment.

Until Wayne coughed softly, as if reminding and interrupting, "Who locked you up, Noah?"

When he said the name, the boy's tone suddenly became low and gloomy. His green eyes slowly scanned her face. Shi Yu was silent for a moment and denied it, "It's not him."

Facing the gazes of the two Alphas, Shigure finally stammered and began to explain: "Noah and I... are not in that kind of relationship. When I went for a physical examination before I became an adult, I inexplicably found out that I was matched with Noah."

"We are more than 99 percent compatible, so I have to try marriage with him, but I really don't like him."

Shi Yu thought about it and added uncertainly, "He also said that getting married too early would affect his future work, but the pressure from my father and family was too great, so he had to deal with it. So, between us, it's just a transactional relationship..."

——A match rate of nearly 100%.

When Shi Yu said this, Wayne's brows furrowed, and Xia Feng closed his eyes slightly, and he had the answer to why Shi Yu came here - such a high degree of matching is very rare even in the huge Federation. It is not surprising that two people with such a high degree of fit become partners and trial marriage partners, not to mention that Sturga has always attached importance to bloodline and talent.

Everything they were unwilling to do became unnecessary. Omega could not resist the law and genes. The only turning point depended on what choice she would make in the end.

"I'll go outside to keep watch, you guys chat."

Xia Feng took one last look at Shi Yu and said goodbye softly. She felt that there was no need for her to stay here any longer. In this situation, Shi Yu probably wanted to say something to Wayne alone.

Shi Yu exclaimed "Huh?!", looked at Xia Feng's back, and then looked at Wayne in front of him.

Wayne had already adjusted his mood at that moment. His brows relaxed slightly. He looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Before, you said that when you went on a trip, you were already prepared to try marriage with him."

"……yes."

"Are you coming back?"

Shi Yu's eyes were sore, and he nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I'm back."

"We still have an agreement..." Shi Yu raised her head and looked at him cautiously, "I don't want you to break your promise."

Wayne's eyes were slightly solemn, and the girl's face became clearer and clearer in Alpha's eyes. The moonlight seemed to light up her eyes, shaking with soft and hazy light.

A faint fragrance floats in the air, the night wind blows by, and the sporadic chirping of insects reaches my ears.

The quiet and peaceful environment cannot hide the beating of the heart.

"……sorry."

Shi Yu tiptoed closer to him with a flushed face, kissed the corner of his lips lightly, and then shrank back in embarrassment.

"This time it was too sudden, so this is an advance payment...from me."

She tried to justify her behavior, but when she saw the boy put his fingertips on his lips, his green eyes drooping, and an expression that didn't know what he was thinking, Shigure's words stopped unconsciously and her face suddenly turned redder.

"Is that so?"

Wayne paused, glanced away, and asked.

The wheat-colored skin turned slightly red, and Shi Yu clearly sensed the other party's unnaturalness. His heart slowly settled down, and he became bolder without any scruples.

"Actually, there's more..." She pursed her lips, looked at him and said, "If you lower yourself a little, I'll give you some in advance."

Wayne is not much of a kisser.

Even though Shi Yu had been pleased and was able to glimpse some mysterious thresholds, he was still stiff and immature, and the occasional careless force would cause Shi Yu some pain.

Shi Yu's legs were weak, and her breaths were tangled. She was barely able to stand up, relying on the strength of Wayne's arms. However, this posture was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, so she had to be supported by her waist and placed on the bench in the pavilion. Wayne half leaned over, his rough fingertips clasping her collarbone, and occasionally pressing the back of her neck gently with a possessive look.

"No..." She gasped to stop him, "Can't you touch somewhere else?"

Wayne's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he whispered hoarsely in her ear, "Uncomfortable?"

"It's not uncomfortable," Shi Yu said with red eyes. One hand climbed up his neck, and the other hand quietly grasped his wrist, guiding him to move, stop, and whispered to him, "You can..."

Once you've been exposed to it, the secret joy becomes like poison.

Shi Yu forgot Xia Feng, forgot Noah, forgot everything. At this moment, she was only immersed in the garden under the moonlight, feeling truly happy and satisfied.

The author has something to say:

Kiss, stick!

I was a bit stuck, but I didn’t expect to finish it today, what a miracle (?)
