Chapter 62

When Shi Yu pounced on him, Lei Yin did not move, and his cold face showed a barely visible stiffness.

Then, the pair of hands wearing white gloves were slightly raised to the air, and they were placed on the back of the girl's shoulders to prevent her from falling to the ground. Even though she was hugged tightly, Rain restrained himself from touching her.

"Shigure, come down."

The officer, who was not used to such physical contact and had never had such intimate behavior with an Omega, seemed to be extremely sensitive to the girl's close presence. He turned his head slightly to avoid her, and his tone was a little stiff.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Rain..." Shi Yu said, unwilling to let go like a little squirrel clinging to a nut. "You'll be leaving soon. I want to thank you first."

"Thank you for listening to me," she gasped, hugging me tighter, "...and for doing so much for me."

Lei Yin was forced to postpone his departure for ten minutes.

After learning that it was the general who agreed to Shi Yu's request early in the morning and sent Shi Yu back, Lei Yin was speechless for a moment facing Shi Yu's smiling face, but without saying anything, he called to thank the general.

Heinrich sat in the hovercraft, listening to Rain's words with a gentle expression. He nodded with a smile and turned his gaze to Shigure.

"You've lost a lot of weight recently, so you need to rest well," the general said. "If you need anything, don't overthink it. Ask Rain or me. Don't keep it all to yourself."

Hearing the general's words, Shi Yu touched his face and nodded embarrassedly: "Thank you."

The general smiled and gave her a few more instructions. When his eyes fell on Rain's tense face again, he inadvertently noticed Shi Yu's small action of pulling the officer's clothes behind him.

Heinrich paused for a moment.

The petite girl seemed to have no idea of ​​the distance she should maintain between herself and her guardian, and the guardian ring gradually became transparent among them.

"Rain," Heinrich thought for a moment, then smiled helplessly at Shiyu's clear black eyes, "Take good care of Shiyu."

Rein bowed his head respectfully: "Yes."

Shi Yu did not stay in the nursing home for a few more days as Lei Yin had expected. She returned home early, and her spirits and complexion were much better than before.

But she was troubled by one thing.

"Mr. Rain," Shi Yu pinched her cheeks in distress during dinner after Rain got off work, "Have I really lost weight? Why don't I feel it..."

Not only the general, but even Ed had said during the phone call that she had lost a lot of weight recently. Hearing the girl's question, Rain raised his eyes and simply stated his opinion: "Eat more."

Two weeks ago, Shi Yu's face was still a little round, with the baby fat of a girl. In just over ten days, her chin had become much sharper.

After the officer spoke, he lowered his eyes and indifferently enjoyed the food on the plate, giving off an air of refusing to be disturbed. Shi Yu looked at him several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Mr. Rein, is there any dessert or food you'd like to eat recently?"

After dinner, Shigure asked.

"Mr. Rein, the watering device on the balcony is broken."

The next day, Shi Yu came running over and reminded him of this.

"Sir, I want to till the open space in the courtyard and plant some ornamental flowers."

"Sir, I think..."

“Rain…”

In recent days, Shi Yu always liked to stick around him. When he heard the girl's unexpected call for help again, Lei Yin looked at her subconsciously with a questioning look without any expression.

Shi Yu dragged a large box into the hall with great effort. After wiping the sweat off his face, he said weakly, "Mr. Rain, these are some seeds and flower seedlings I ordered. Could you please open them?"

This light box seemed to have taken a lot of effort for her. Shi Yu was sweating, her eyes were moist, her face was flushed, and her breathing was a little damp.

"One more thing, sir," Shigure said as he stood up and came over.

Lei Yin quickly helped Shi Yu unpack the box, then took a half step back, avoiding the strawberry scent that was approaching out of curiosity. The young man's expression remained unchanged, and he gave a restrained and cold suggestion: "Take a break, and try to do your own things."

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment: "But..."

"Don't act like a spoiled brat."

The officer's refusal was quite obvious.

Shi Yu opened his eyes wide, hesitantly, and looked at Lei Yin with doubt, as if wondering why his attitude suddenly became so cold and hard.

Rein looked away, trying not to show any abnormality.

"But..." She didn't give up and tried to explain, "These flower seeds were delivered to my door by a delivery robot. I don't have the money to pay for them, sir."

——This is what troubles Shigure.

I don’t know if it’s because Mr. Lei Yin wants her to be independent, but recently... since she came back from the nursing home, Shi Yu felt that Mr. Lei Yin seemed to have become much colder towards her.

Is it really like Mr. Rain said, that it was because she kept pestering him and acting like a spoiled child?

Shi Yu wasn't quite sure. If she thought about it, she hadn't done anything. That was the day she came back, when she'd thrown herself into Mr. Rain's arms. The balcony watering device had broken, and she'd gotten soaked, so she'd asked him in distress what to do. And she'd made lunch boxes and desserts for him a few times, getting up early these past few days to deliver them to him.

...Is there anything wrong with that?

But fortunately, although Shi Yu could feel that Lei Yin seemed to be avoiding her in various things recently, this coldness was different from the attitude he had when she first lived with him. Shi Yu could feel it.

So even though she was a little troubled, Shi Yu didn't care too much. She prepared for her plan seriously - after renovating the courtyard and marking out the location of the fountain and flower beds, Shi Yu became busy.

At first, she was so busy that she barely spoke to Rein even on her days off. However, Mr. Rein seemed to notice her hard work and wanted to help. Hearing the thud of military boots behind her, Shi Yu gestured with the blueprint and asked without turning back, "Sir, please bring me the toolbox at the gate. I think I made a mistake somewhere..."

Shi Yu sat by the newly expanded fountain, her chin resting on a pen, her black hair cascading down her slender, pale neck. Her beautiful eyes were bright and focused. The young man paused, chuckled softly, and lifted his combat boots, bringing the tool bucket over and placing it near the girl.

"Um... just hand it over." Shi Yu picked up the pen and drew the last line. He pursed his lips and smiled softly, "Thank you for your help."

"agree."

Then she whispered.

——Shigure was very used to blurting out the command to remove the monitoring ring.

After saying this, Shi Yu lowered his head and continued to make some modifications. After a while, he slowly noticed that Rein had not yet brought the tool bucket to his side.

She turned around in confusion, looked up and asked, "Rain..."

The words paused.

The man with long platinum blond hair smiled and raised his hands, indicating that he had not made any move and was standing obediently eight meters away from her.

"As much as I want to help you," he said, "I can't just go there casually."

He was a sturdy Alpha, his honey-brown skin bathed in sunlight. The slightly exaggerated muscular lines beneath his officer's uniform seemed to conceal the terrifying power of a wild beast. Yet, this unpredictable man, looking as dangerously beautiful as a leopard, smiled and explained to her in a seemingly good-natured manner, "I forgot to mention, I'm a colleague of Rain's. I'm here to see him about something. You're the Omega 'Shigure' he adopted, right?"

"Hello, hello."

He also greeted the rain at the same time.

Shi Yu didn't say anything. She looked at him with wide eyes, her heart suddenly beating violently - like a rabbit that sensed the danger before being hunted.

At this time, there were still a few traces of dirt on her face, and her clothes were the kind that were resistant to dirt and were casually put on. Shi Yu couldn't tell whether it was because she had recognized the wrong person, and was embarrassed to appear in front of the visitor in this outfit, or because the oppressive feeling from the Alpha male made her too nervous. The girl stood up in a hurry, dizzy, and a blush suddenly spread from her cheeks to the back of her neck.

She stepped back a distance, said "hello", then held back tears for a few times as if she was about to cry, said "I'm sorry", and ran back to the villa in embarrassment.

When he ran to the second floor, Shi Yu ran into Lei Yin who was pushing the door out of the study.

Shi Yu stopped in his tracks and asked him with a hint of resentment, "Sir, why didn't you tell me in advance that you had guests at home?"

The light-blond officer frowned in confusion. "What?"

"Your colleague is here." She rubbed and smeared the mud on Shi Yu's cheek until it was completely smudged away. With a cat-like face, Shi Yu turned her back to him in shame and embarrassment. "Go and entertain him yourself. I'll go back first."

Lei Yin quickly understood where Shi Yu's embarrassment came from.

He came to the courtyard and saw his colleague sitting leisurely by the fountain with his legs stretched out, like a beast napping in the sun. Lei Yin's eyes darkened and he walked over to ask.

"What are you doing here?"

"Haha, delivering documents." Alex laughed dryly, curled his lips, and threw the documents in his hand to him. "I know your family's situation. I didn't plan to go into the villa. Your little Omega is squatting outside by himself."

"She asked me to help get something, so I just handed it to her without getting close to her."

Alex shrugged.

Lei Yin frowned and said, "Next time, tell me in advance. You are..."

Recalling the girl's flushed cheeks and embarrassed expression, Lei Yin was silent for a moment, then continued expressionlessly, "She was scared."

"Sorry, sorry, for being so cowardly." Alex stood up with a kick of his long legs, patted his uniform, and waved, "Remember to apologize to her for me. I'm leaving."

It took Shi Yu a while to clean his face.

After wiping his face, Shi Yu felt more and more embarrassed as what had just happened kept circling in his mind. He decided to lean on the window and secretly take a look to see if the man had left... just a quick look would be enough.

She cautiously poked her head out and glanced at the courtyard entrance.

The man with long platinum hair walked out of the courtyard with his back to her. When he reached the corner, he tilted his head as if aware of something, then waved his arm leisurely as if saying goodbye.

Shi Yu felt soft-hearted and quickly retreated back with a guilty conscience, not daring to do anything else.
