Chapter 53 Brave and Unwilling to Reject Him

This question crosses the line.

After hearing Ji Mingxue's words, this thought quickly flashed through Shen Qingzhu's mind.

Ji Mingxue is an Omega, but at this moment she asked an Alpha to touch a certain part of the other's body. Even if it was just wings condensed by mental power, it still exceeded the boundaries of friendship.

This made the ambiguity that had been faintly permeating between the two of them suddenly become like a bubble that had expanded to the extreme, so precarious that it seemed like it would burst at any time, bringing about new changes that would lead to unknown directions, and for a moment made Shen Qingzhu feel a little helpless and retreat.

But Shen Qingzhu was very good at hiding his emotions. Even though he felt confused at the moment, he still smiled slightly, as if he hadn't noticed anything. He said to Ji Mingxue seriously, "I can show you."

After saying this, two snow-white wings immediately appeared behind Shen Qingzhu.

When Ji Mingxue saw this, her eyes suddenly lit up, she became excited, and she immediately wanted to move over to take a closer look.

When he was three steps away from Shen Qingzhu, Ji Mingxue was suddenly blocked by an invisible force.

Ji Mingxue was stunned for a moment, reached out and touched it, and found that it seemed to be an egg-shaped transparent barrier.

"This is another way to use mental power," Shen Qingzhu said at the right time, "At critical moments, it can also serve as a defense and protection."

Ji Mingxue: ...

"Okay, I've got that." Ji Mingxue nodded obediently, but her eyes were still fixed on the wings behind Shen Qingzhu, her whole body exuding a sense of desire.

His gaze was so scorching that Shen Qingzhu felt as if she was being burned.

But Shen Qingzhu soon discovered that what made Ji Mingxue suddenly so excited seemed to be just the two wings behind him.

Shen Qingzhu then condensed a pair of small wings in his palm and handed them to Ji Mingxue, "You can touch this."

Ji Mingxue: ...

He stared at the pair of small wings and wanted to tell Shen Qingzhu loudly that he just wanted to touch the wings on the back of Shen Qingzhu!!!

But Ji Mingxue was more or less aware of Shen Qingzhu's subtle change in attitude, and also clearly realized that this was Shen Qingzhu's tactful rejection, a rejection of his approach and touch.

Ji Mingxue felt a sudden bitterness in her heart, but she still lowered her eyes, took the pair of small wings, and gently stroked them with her fingertips.

Seeing that he finally restrained himself, Shen Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, dispersed the wings behind him, and sat quietly on the sofa drinking tea.

Ji Mingxue was also touching the small wings in her palm out of boredom. Although the small wings felt good and she could detect clear fluctuations of mental power, which was very helpful for Ji Mingxue to understand mental power, she felt a little uncomfortable whenever she thought of Shen Qingzhu's silent rejection.

The two of them parted on somewhat unpleasant terms that day.

After leaving the resistance training room, Shen Qingzhu returned the mental power measuring instrument in the room to Tang Quan, and then discussed the specific data issues with Tang Quan for a while.

After that, Shen Qingzhu politely said goodbye and left first.

When Ji Mingxue and Tang Quan were the only ones left, Tang Quan asked tentatively in a low voice, "Boss, did you have a fight with Mr. Zhu?"

Without Shen Qingzhu, Ji Mingxue was a typical high-class beauty, and she rarely smiled.

But he was not harsh on others. Even though he was in a bad mood at the moment, Ji Mingxue only glanced at Tang Quan with an ambiguous look and asked him, "Why do you say that?"

"Because," Tang Quan picked his fingers nervously, "Mr. Zhu was very polite to you just now, and you didn't say much."

"But every time I saw you before, you seemed to have endless things to talk about."

"Of course, this could just be my illusion. Maybe you and Mr. Zhu are just tired."

But as a new 6S/cp fan, even though he had only met Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue a few times, Tang Quan still had a hunch that something was wrong with the two of them just now.

I was apparently fine before entering the training room, so why did I suddenly feel a little alienated after coming out?

What exactly happened in the training room?

Even Tang Quan could sense that something was wrong between them, which showed that this was not just Ji Mingxue's illusion.

Thinking of the reason why Shen Qingzhu's attitude suddenly changed, Ji Mingxue was thoughtful for a moment.

…

After returning to his private residence, Ji Mingxue began to train himself as usual.

Physical training has become as commonplace to Ji Mingxue as eating and drinking, because the body has long formed muscle memory. On weekdays, Ji Mingxue performs physical training while handling official business with the assistance of Mingfeng, and is very efficient.

Today, Ji Mingxue just felt upset.

"Bang!" After concentrating his mental power to blow up a moving alloy target, Ji Mingxue suddenly stopped and couldn't help asking Mingfeng, "Tell me, why did he suddenly become like that?"

This statement was somewhat vague, but Mingfeng, who had watched the entire process from beginning to end, completely understood what he meant and said tactfully, "Your Highness, Mr. Shen may have just been frightened by you."

Ji Mingxue:?

"What did I do?"

Mingfeng: "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Ji Mingxue: "Of course."

Mingfeng: "The way you looked at Mr. Shen at that time was as if you wanted to eat him."

Ji Mingxue: ...

Her face suddenly turned red, and Ji Mingxue pinched the tip of her ear which was burning, and instantly her breath became much weaker, "...Is it that exaggerated?"

Mingfeng: "Do you want to watch the replay? I recorded the whole process."

Ji Mingxue's eyes suddenly lit up, "So you also recorded the part where he turned into an angel?"

Mingfeng: Is this the point?

But it still replied honestly, "Recorded."

Ji Mingxue instantly got excited and said, "Turn it on and have a look."

Mingfeng could only play the video of Shen Qingzhu falling from the sky in the bamboo forest with snow-white wings on its back for Ji Mingxue again.

Ji Mingxue's cheeks flushed, her heart beat wildly, and her whole body trembled with excitement.

Finally, Ji Mingxue couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately logged into her Xingbo account and started going crazy.

【Little Alpha Observation Diary:

—Day9—

Ahhhhh I can’t stand it anymore!!!

What kind of Alpha is this!!!

If I can’t fall in love with him, then some of my good qualities, my soul, and my power to beat up eight Alphas with one punch will definitely be destroyed! ! ! 】

[Then the question is, he doesn’t seem to like me that much, what should I do? (The little mecha man is smoking a cigarette in melancholy)]

Mingfeng, who had already gotten used to her prince's intermittent madness whenever he met Shen Qingzhu, said:...

Mingfeng: "Your Highness, didn't you say that you should observe Mr. Shen carefully first to determine whether he is a suitable candidate for a relationship?"

It's only been a few days, why does Your Highness suddenly want to fall in love with Shen Qingzhu?

Ji Mingxue actually didn't expect that her affection for Shen Qingzhu would suddenly grow to such an outrageous degree.

But, "Mingfeng, he will become an angel."

"He can definitely use his mental power to create many interesting things." Ji Mingxue looked longing.

Mingfeng couldn't understand, "So, you just like him for cosplay?"

Ji Mingxue was speechless, "How is it possible? Am I such a superficial person?"

Mingfeng: ...

Maybe it wasn't before, and it's not certain now.

Ji Mingxue didn't care about its tactical silence and began to carefully list Shen Qingzhu's advantages, "First of all, he looks good."

"I have never seen another Alpha who is prettier than me in my life."

"Secondly, he has a good personality. He is sincere and friendly, willing to help others, gentle, considerate, empathetic, neat and tidy, and has perfect clothing aesthetics and etiquette."

"He is also very smart and has a perfect brain. But he never takes pride in it and never shows off to people who are not like him. He just does his own thing seriously."

"This is not only very rare among his peers, but even among those elders over a hundred years old, there are very few Alphas who are so modest and cautious."

"Finally, Mingfeng, from the day I met him, Shen Qingzhu never said anything to me like 'what an Omega should do, what an Omega shouldn't do' because I'm an Omega. He only encouraged me again and again and let me do whatever I wanted to do."

"Although I admit that my affection for him came too quickly, just like a tornado, but Mingfeng, before him, I never thought that I would fall in love with someone one day."

"I used to think that those Alpha dogs would only affect my speed in drawing my sword."

"But now, I can no longer imagine what it would be like for Shen Qingzhu to be with someone else one day."

"I really, really like him."

…

Like Ji Mingxue, Shen Qingzhu was also feeling uneasy tonight.

As soon as he got home, Shen Qingzhu immediately took off the restraint ring around his neck and went into the bathroom with a heavy heart.

This has become a daily routine after every contact with Ji Mingxue.

Although Shen Qingzhu knew very well that all this was just a natural physiological reaction under the influence of the highly matching pheromones, whether it was related to Ji Mingxue or not, and Ji Mingxue was completely unaware of it, Shen Qingzhu always felt an unspeakable shame and self-blame.

The stronger the body's reaction, the more obvious Shen Qingzhu's vague disgust with this body became.

Shen Qingzhu knew very well that this was a sign that he had not yet fully accepted his Alpha identity.

But he actually always doubted that he would never be able to be as proud of this uncontrollable physiological reaction as those dogs A.

Perhaps because I had been in contact with Ji Mingxue for too long today, it took me nearly twice as long to deal with the fat bamboo shoots than usual.

After walking out of the bathroom, Shen Qingzhu felt a little listless. It was rare that she didn't cook for herself, so she just opened a bottle of nutritional supplement and drank it slowly while leaning on the sofa.

Shen Qingzhu rarely gets so depressed, and Sun Jian feels very distressed seeing this.

It whispered sweetly, "Master, do you want to talk to Shoot Tip?"

Hearing the worry in its words, Shen Qingzhu smiled slightly and said softly, "What does Sunjian want to talk about?"

Sunjian: "Are you worried about Ji Mingxue?"

Sunjian was Shen Qingzhu's most trusted family member. Shen Qingzhu did not hide it and just said "hmm" softly.

Sun Jian was curious, "Don't you know how to reject Ji Mingxue?"

Shen Qingzhu smiled helplessly, "Don't say that, he may not be right for me..."

Sun Jian didn't want him to deceive himself any more, "But many people have already seen Ji Mingxue's love for you."

"There are still many fans of your couple on Starnet. You obviously know all of this."

"Also, the way Ji Mingxue looked at you today was as if she wanted to eat you up in one bite."

"Master, you were also frightened by him at that time, right? That's why you have been uneasy since then."

Shen Qingzhu: ...

"Eat it in one bite" is a bit exaggerated.

But it must be said that Shen Qingzhu was indeed a little shocked by Ji Mingxue's overly hot gaze at that time.

Although Shen Qingzhu could sense that Ji Mingxue had a crush on him before, because Ji Mingxue had no further plans and seemed to be just observing him, Shen Qingzhu pretended not to know.

But it was obvious that Ji Mingxue's attitude towards him seemed to have changed today.

He seemed... not going to hide it any longer.

The tacit understanding that had originally existed was suddenly broken, forcing Shen Qingzhu to start facing this problem.

In fact, the tip of the bamboo shoot didn't quite understand Shen Qingzhu's dilemma. It just thought, "If you don't like him, you can just reject Ji Mingxue like you rejected others."

Although Sunjian has been obsessed with 6S/cp during this period and has a high degree of favorability towards Ji Mingxue, in his heart, Shen Qingzhu is the most important.

It didn't want to make Shen Qingzhu unhappy.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhu just hugged the pillow in his arms.

After a long silence, he finally closed his eyes as if in compromise and said sullenly, "But I seem... reluctant to reject him."

Shen Qingzhu said this with great difficulty, as if he was cutting open his heart layer by layer, digging out the secret that had been buried in the deepest part of his heart inch by inch, and carefully spreading it out under the starry sky.

This is the 23rd year since Shen Qingzhu was born.

In the past 23 years, except for the first 6 years living with his two fathers, Shen Qingzhu has been living cautiously and treading on thin ice for the following 17 years.

Even after he became successful, as a 3SOmega, he was still coveted by many Alphas.

Even though he was a Beta or Omega, many people expressed their admiration for him.

Except for Sunjian, in the original world, Shen Qingzhu had almost no one he could completely trust.

He would secretly evaluate everyone who appeared around him to determine whether the other person would cause harm to him.

This made it extremely difficult for Shen Qingzhu to truly let down her guard towards others, and she had never had any intimate physical contact with anyone other than her two fathers.

So, Shen Qingzhu actually had no idea what it felt like to like someone.

He also didn't know how to determine whether he liked someone.

I don’t even know how to treat a relationship correctly.

In the past, Shen Qingzhu had seen many Omegas who were hurt in intimate relationships, and had also read a lot of negative social news. This made Shen Qingzhu have a vague fear of intimate relationships, and he was afraid that one day he would also become scarred.

This made Shen Qingzhu love herself more, but also more wary of others.

After becoming an Alpha, although physically speaking, his chances of getting hurt were much lower than when he was an Omega, he was always worried that he would cause harm to others.

Especially to Ji Mingxue.

Shen Qingzhu has always known that Ji Mingxue is very attractive to her.

This attraction is not just about pheromones and physiology, but comes from the other person's powerful and fearless soul.

Shen Qingzhu always felt that Ji Mingxue was like the sun.

He was the ideal person that Shen Qingzhu had always longed for.

That's why Shen Qingzhu always wanted to hold him high, hoping that Ji Mingxue would always be as bright and shining as that, and that the sun would never set.

Because of this, when facing Ji Mingxue, Shen Qingzhu always takes good care of her and almost unconditionally indulges her in everything.

But at the same time, Shen Qingzhu couldn't help but worry.

Worried that he would hurt Ji Mingxue.

As a 3SAlpha with a very high compatibility with Ji Mingxue, Shen Qingzhu knew very well that if he were really a bad guy, it would be easy to cause harm to Ji Mingxue.

Therefore, Shen Qingzhu really admires Ji Mingxue.

I admire Ji Mingxue's bravery.

When it comes to distinguishing and expressing emotions, Shen Qingzhu really feels inferior.

But today, before he had sorted out his feelings, facing Ji Mingxue's imminent gaze, Shen Qingzhu subconsciously chose to reject and distance himself.

Ji Mingxue should have noticed it too.

Given Ji Mingxue's pride, it's unclear whether she will give up on him.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingzhu subconsciously hugged the pillow tightly in his arms, and suddenly felt an indescribable sourness and loss in his heart.

But if that's the case, it seems... there's nothing wrong with it.

It's just a return to the same days as before.

Shen Qingzhu can still attend classes seriously, do research seriously, and still devote his life to his unfinished career.

But... it's so strange. Just having such a thought made Shen Qingzhu feel a little sour in his nose and empty in his heart.

He subconsciously looked towards the direction of the gate.

I don’t know whether Ji Mingxue will come to see him tomorrow.

…

That night, Shen Qingzhu suffered from insomnia, which was a rare occurrence.

It was not until dawn that I took a short nap in the nutrition cabin.

After finishing the vlog as usual, Shen Qingzhu took a deep breath nervously before going out.

Finally, I mustered up the courage and opened the door of the private residence.

Then, I was suddenly dazzled by the dim morning light and the person leaning against the front of the car, who was brighter than the morning light.

"Good morning, Shen Qingzhu."

The man who was as bright as the sun still greeted him with full energy.

It is clearly mid-autumn now, and the morning breeze is already a little chilly.

Shen Qingzhu seemed to have returned to midsummer, illuminated by the scorching light.

The heart felt like being thrown into a warm spring, and even all the limbs became warm.

As if infected by the light, Shen Qingzhu smiled unconsciously and responded in a gentle voice, "Good morning."

After saying that, Shen Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh softly, "Ji Mingxue, why are you... so good."
