Chapter 138 Code "Senior is asking us for help."...

As a top student at the Imperial University Law School, Yan Xiao had made a name for himself in the Imperial legal community in his early twenties, so he must have had his strengths.

Because he often serves big clients, Yan Xiao has long developed the ability to read people's expressions.

So since arriving at the Chu family, Yan Xiao has been quietly observing the situation around him, especially Chu Yan, who is regarded as a marriage target by the Yan family.

Because of this, long before Chu Yan approached him, Yan Xiao had already seen that Chu Yan was completely uninterested in all the Omegas at the banquet, and would even become annoyed by the proximity of Omegas.

Later, Chu Yan would look for him and deliberately spend time with him alone, most likely to avoid social engagements.

After the two of them arrived at the terrace, Chu Yan's series of actions made Yan Xiao certain that Chu Yan seemed to have someone he liked.

He has been fiddling with his laptop, probably sending messages to someone he likes.

But judging from his increasingly irritated expression, Chu Yan seemed to have been rejected by that man.

Then there was that "tsk" and that sentence, "I heard that you and Shen Qingzhu are friends?"

Yan Xiao: Huo.

I never expected to hear Shen Qingzhu's name at this time.

But compared to this, what surprised Yan Xiao even more was that the person Chu Yan liked was most likely Shen Qingzhu, who was also an Alpha like him.

Yan Xiao: ...

Given Junior Shen’s personality and good looks, it wasn’t particularly surprising to Yan Xiao that an Alpha would like him.

But as far as Yan Xiao knew, Shen Qingzhu was not only sharp-minded, but also looked down on the Alphas of the empire.

What's more, Shen Qingzhu already has a lover.

If Junior Brother Shen had noticed Chu Yan's thoughts, he would probably feel very uncomfortable.

When he thought of this, Yan Xiao felt like laughing.

But when he saw Chu Yan's eagle-like sharp eyes, Yan Xiao immediately restrained his rare relaxed smile and said calmly, "We are indeed friends."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan looked at Yan Xiao scrutinizingly for a long while.

Yan Xiao also let him look at him.

Chu Yan was a little surprised, because there were very few Omegas who could behave so calmly in front of him.

But he soon realized that this Omega named Yan Xiao seemed to be an Omega that had only recently delayed its differentiation.

This type of Omega, which has undergone secondary differentiation after the age of 20, has some glandular problems to a certain extent. Also, because they have lived as Betas for several years, most of them have problems with gender recognition and always forget their identity as Omegas.

Because of this, this type of Omega is actually very unpopular in the eyes of Alphas, who always think they are defective products with defects.

What's more, Yan Xiao's gene level is only B, and his face is not pretty enough, so he is not qualified to be Chu Yan's lover.

So, after looking at Yan Xiao for a while, Chu Yan withdrew his gaze, crossed his arms, and said meaningfully, "On the 15th, the Chu family will hold a Lantern Festival dinner."

"You can invite Shen Qingzhu to join you."

Yan Xiao didn't ask him why he didn't invite him himself, but just raised his empty wrist and said, "I don't have a laptop."

Chu Yan glanced at his wrist, "Where's your optical computer?"

Yan Xiao lied with his eyes open, "I accidentally fell a few days ago."

Chu Yan sneered immediately. Although he could see the problem at a glance and even roughly guessed it, it was the Yan family's business. What did it have to do with him?

He tapped the light computer on his wrist, not wanting Yan Xiao to touch it, so he quickly popped up the private chat screen and temporarily shared the chat permissions with Yan Xiao, then raised his chin to Yan Xiao, "You can invite him here."

Yan Xiao's heart moved, but he did not refute him. He just skillfully swiped the virtual keyboard and used Chu Yan's light brain to start a private chat with Shen Qingzhu.

…

【Chu Yan: Junior Brother Shen, I am Yan Xiao. 】

When Shen Qingzhu saw this message, she was taking a nap under the window holding Ji Mingxue.

In just a moment, Shen Qingzhu came to his senses and frowned slightly as he looked at the private chat interface.

"What's wrong?" Ji Mingxue, who was lying in his arms, noticed that his body was tense for a moment, and immediately opened her eyes and glanced at the virtual light screen.

Upon seeing this, Ji Mingxue immediately sat up and said "Huh?" in surprise.

Shen Qingzhu did not reply to the message immediately, but just looked at the screen thoughtfully.

On the Chu family terrace, seeing that Shen Qingzhu didn't reply for a long time, Yan Xiao guessed, "Words are not enough, Junior Brother Shen may think you are joking with him."

After saying that, seeing Chu Yan's face suddenly looked a little bad, Yan Xiao suggested, "I can take a photo of him, or send him a voice message directly."

Chu Yan's heart immediately moved when he heard this.

But he hated being led by the nose by Omega.

So he quickly used the camera to take more than a dozen photos of himself and Yan Xiao sitting on the terrace.

After taking the photo, Chu Yan asked AI to help him edit the picture.

Finally, he picked out the one he was most satisfied with and sent it to Shen Qingzhu.

【Chu Yan: [Photo of two people on the terrace]】

As soon as she saw the photo, Ji Mingxue rolled her eyes and couldn't help complaining to Shen Qingzhu, "From the angle of this photo, it looks like Chu Yan took it himself. He even deliberately highlighted his profile and eyes!"

This is the usual tactic used by Alphas when pursuing Omegas. They always like to use their "sharply" jawlines and "deep eyes" to attract the attention of Omegas.

But the problem is, Shen Qingzhu is an Alpha!

Chu Yan also knew that Ji Mingxue and Shen Qingzhu were a couple.

What do you want to do by suddenly posting this photo?

It's still winter, why did Chu Yan turn on the screen? !

He simply doesn't take Ji Mingxue, his official lover, seriously at all!

When he thought of this, Ji Mingxue wanted to punch Chu Yan twice.

It was rare to see Ji Mingxue so angry, Shen Qingzhu immediately stroked his fur with amusement, pointed at Yan Xiao in the corner of the photo and said, "The key point is here."

Ji Mingxue naturally knew about this. Although she was still a little angry, she calmly analyzed, "Today is the third day of the first lunar month. The Chu family is having a banquet. Yan Xiao should be accompanying the Yan family to the Chu family to attend the banquet."

Shen Qingzhu said "hmm" and continued to analyze, "Senior is a very polite person. If he really wants to see me, he will definitely greet me in advance."

Ji Mingxue: "But he directly used Chu Yan's optical computer, which means he probably doesn't have an optical computer available right now."

Shen Qingzhu frowned, lowered his head and sent another message to Yan Xiao's private chat, and immediately received an automatic reply [I'm on vacation, please leave a message if you have anything to say].

Shen Qingzhu sighed and said worriedly, "Senior may have been in trouble."

Ji Mingxue responded in a low voice. He had actually seen a lot of such things. "Yan Xiao has differentiated into an Omega. The Yan family may want to push him out for marriage."

"If they really have this idea, in order to prevent Yan Xiao from escaping or resisting, they may indeed take away Yan Xiao's computer."

After saying that, Ji Mingxue frowned again and glanced at Yan Xiao who was sitting opposite Chu Yan in the photo, and suddenly realized, "...So, they are on a blind date?"

Shen Qingzhu: ...

Most likely.

But Shen Qingzhu couldn't figure out what Senior Yan Xiao and Chu Yan wanted to express by sending these two messages.

Perhaps Senior Yan Xiao's words were a request for help.

But he only said one sentence, and Shen Qingzhu couldn't be completely sure that this was what he meant.

And there is Chu Yan.

Judging from the photos he sent, it doesn't look like he is helping Senior Yan Xiao.

Therefore, Shen Qingzhu just replied calmly, "Happy New Year, Senior."

Completely ignored the photo sent by Chu Yan.

When Chu Yan saw this, his heart suddenly sank, and he doubted whether Shen Qingzhu had not received the photo at all.

However, since Shen Qingzhu called Yan Xiao "Senior", it means that the two of them do have a good relationship.

Chu Yan directly dialed Shen Qingzhu's voice call, and then gave Yan Xiao a look, asking Yan Xiao to invite Shen Qingzhu to attend the party on the 15th.

Yan Xiao did not refute. After Shen Qingzhu answered the call, he said calmly, "Brother Shen, I tasted a very good beef tongue pastry at the Chu family today. It is said that it is a special supply of the Chu family and is not available outside. Don't you like this kind of snacks the most? The Chu family will have a Lantern Festival banquet at 15:00. Do you want to come and try it then?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan immediately frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with Yan Xiao's reason for inviting Shen Qingzhu.

But because the call was in progress, Chu Yan couldn't say anything right away.

However, soon, Chu Yan heard Shen Qingzhu's laughter.

Shen Qingzhu smiled and said, "Even the senior said it's delicious. It seems that the Chu family's beef tongue pastry is really good. I didn't even notice it last time I went there."

At this point, Shen Qingzhu suddenly felt a little regretful, "But Ming Xueshiwu and I may no longer be in A-06, so I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the Chu family's beef tongue crisps."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan immediately replied, "If you like it, I can have someone send it to you right away!"

Ji Mingxue's voice suddenly rang out from the other end of the line, "It's New Year's Day, and it's freezing outside. There's no need for someone to make a special trip."

After saying that, Ji Mingxue smiled and said, "If Mr. Chu is really interested, why not give us a copy of the recipe for the Ox Tongue Crisp?"

"My cooking skills are pretty good. If I have a recipe, I should be able to make something similar. Let me try it, baby."

Chu Yan felt like he had swallowed a fly, and his face remained black until he hung up the phone.

But even so, Chu Yan still suppressed his anger, asked the butler for a recipe for ox tongue crisps, and sent it to Shen Qingzhu.

After sending this message, Chu Yan remembered Yan Xiao and his face suddenly became even darker.

"Why are you bringing up beef tongue pastry for no reason?"

Yan Xiao then smiled for the first time since they met. Just like he treated those difficult clients in the past, he said to Chu Yan calmly and politely, "If you know a little about Junior Brother Shen, you should know that he is not interested in many things, but he is more concerned about food."

"I like ancient Chinese traditional pastries like ox tongue pastries very much."

"When he was on the Academy Planet, he once traveled halfway across the planet to explore stores."

"That's why I asked him if he wanted to come over and taste the beef tongue crisps."

Shen Qingzhu likes to eat, and Chu Yan, who has watched all his vlogs, is of course aware of this.

Just now when Shen Qingzhu said that he couldn't come to the Chu family, his tone was indeed full of regret.

It can be seen that Yan Xiao did not lie.

But when Chu Yan thought of Ji Mingxue who had just spoken, he felt very uncomfortable, because that meant that Ji Mingxue had been with Shen Qingzhu all the time, and most likely had been living in Shen Qingzhu's house these days.

He is an unmarried Omega, but he dares to live with an Alpha without any care. It's simply... simply shameless!

Seeing Chu Yan's face turn colorful again, Yan Xiao pushed his glasses up out of habit.

Still nothing was pushed.

Yan Xiao didn't remain stunned any longer. He just rubbed his nose and smiled silently.

…

After hanging up the call, Shen Qingzhu immediately confirmed, "Senior is asking us for help."

At the same time, Ji Mingxue also said to Mingfeng, "Go check on Yan Xiao's situation during this period."

When Shen Qingzhu heard this, he remembered that Ji Mingxue didn't know that Sun Jian could do this kind of thing. He didn't ask Sun Jian to investigate again. He just sighed silently, "It seems that your previous guess is very likely to be true."

In other words, Senior Yan Xiao was indeed placed under house arrest by the Yan family.

Ji Mingxue responded and was about to say something when she saw Shen Qingzhu's private chat screen pop up again. It was Chu Yan who sent her the recipe for Ox Tongue Crisps.

Ji Mingxue couldn't help but laugh, and said with a click of the tongue, "This Chu family member hasn't done his homework well. He didn't even know that you like sweet food."

"Beef tongue pastry is a classic ancient Chinese salty pastry. It's really..."

After Ji Mingxue mentioned this, Shen Qingzhu couldn't help but laugh.

However, "Since Senior Yan would use this method to convey the news to us, it shows that his condition is indeed not very good."

Ji Mingxue quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, Mingfeng will soon be able to find out what happened with Yan Xiao."

"At least before the fifteenth, Yan Xiao should be able to stay stable."

Otherwise, Yan Xiao would not have specifically mentioned going to the Chu family banquet "together" on the fifteenth.

Shen Qingzhu naturally noticed this.

This matter really cannot be rushed, after all, Senior Yan is still in the Chu family.

These aristocratic families are usually the most proud, and the Chu family is the governor of A-06, comparable to a local emperor. Whether it is the Yan family or other families, they certainly dare not cause trouble on the Chu family's territory.

So, at least today, Shen Qingzhu doesn’t have to worry too much about the safety of Senior Yan Xiao.

After thinking this through, Shen Qingzhu carefully looked at the recipe for Ox Tongue Pastry.

Ji Mingxue immediately lay on his back and said with a smile, "I like salty food. Shall we eat this today?"

Shen Qingzhu was amused by him and tapped Ji Mingxue's head with his fingers. "Who said just now that his cooking skills were pretty good? And he even said he would cook for me?"

"It's you who wants to eat it."

"Also, why don't you call me 'baby' anymore?"

Ji Mingxue almost couldn't help digging her toes into the ground. In the end, she could only hold Shen Qingzhu's neck like a spoiled child and hum, rubbing against Shen Qingzhu's neck like a cat.

Shen Qingzhu was so angry that she quickly carried the beautiful snow-white cat on her back to the kitchen to make beef tongue pastries.

…

Because Yan Xiao was invited by Chu Yan today, the two went to the terrace alone and spent a long time together. The head of the Yan family and Yan Xiao's parents were very happy.

After returning home, they repeatedly asked Yan Xiao what he had talked about with Chu Yan today, and urged Yan Xiao to get along well with Chu Yan in the future and strive to become Mrs. Sun of the Chu family as soon as possible.

In response to this, Yan Xiao neither refuted nor agreed, but just showed a bit of fatigue on his face from time to time.

Although he knew that he was angry, Yan Xiao was an Omega after all, and he did not have any tools to communicate, so it was impossible for him to escape from the Yan family who was guarded by many people.

Therefore, not long after, everyone in the Yan family temporarily let Yan Xiao go and let him go back to his room to rest.

…

Late at night, everything is quiet.

The robots guarding various places in the Yan family are patrolling in an orderly manner.

The ubiquitous monitoring system is also running at a high speed without stopping.

There are a lot of dark clouds tonight and it looks like it's going to snow.

In the moonless room, Yan Xiao was curled up on the big bed with an irritated look on his face, with a heat surge from the back of his neck and body that made him almost lose his mind.

His fever period has arrived.

But he didn't have any inhibitors in his hands.

All the inhibitors were snatched away by those people from the Yan family.

When he thought of this, a deep anger surged in Yan Xiao's heart.

Omega's fever period is really completely unreasonable.

Because that is completely beyond the control of reason.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but in his hazy state, Yan Xiao seemed to hear a few mosquito-like whispers.

But his feverish brain made it impossible for him to tell whether it was a dream or not.

The body temperature gradually dropped without me noticing.

My brain, which had been almost a mess, gradually became clear again.

Only then did Yan Xiao see that there seemed to be something very tiny shaking gently in front of him.

...It's just like a small mosquito.

He covered the little thing with a sheet inconspicuously to avoid indoor surveillance, then turned on the night light. In the dim light, he saw the gray, millet-sized mechanical spider on the back of his hand.

Yan Xiao: ...

At the same time, a miniature light screen suddenly popped up from the eyes of the pocket spider, on which it was written, [Senior, we are here.]

Yan Xiao's nerves, which had been tense for several days, suddenly relaxed.

Looking at the line of small words that appeared and disappeared from time to time, I smiled slightly.
