Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Is my identity useful?

Jiang Xun placed the small casserole on the dining table and took off his heat-insulating gloves.

In addition to the pot of porridge, there was also a fried egg with golden edges, a plate of cold cucumber, and a plate of stir-fried lettuce on the table.

And washed peaches and cherries.

Having just woken up, Chen Luan's stomach was immediately aroused. He followed the aroma and moved closer, his eyes lighting up: "Such a rich and delicious meal!"

"Hurry up and wash up and come over for breakfast." Jiang Xun's eyes lit up with a gentle smile. He held Chen Luan's shoulders with both hands and pushed him towards the bathroom. "Don't you have to go to work today?"

"Hiss. What time is it now?"

"Don't worry, there's still time."

When Chen Luan's figure disappeared from his sight, Jiang Xun turned around and met Jiang Ling's light amber eyes, which were exactly the same as his own.

But those eyes had now darkened to a light gold.

The twins from the same mother looked at each other for two seconds.

Jiang Ling lifted the thin blanket from her body, stood up, dragged Jiang Xun into the kitchen, closed the door, and lowered her voice:

"Jiang Xun."

"What did you do last night?"

Jiang Xun raised his eyelids, raised his hand to pull Jiang Ling's hand off his collar and threw it away: "What do you think I can do?"

"You've been into his room." Jiang Ling stared into her twin brother's calm eyes: "I smelled it."

If there was still a residual pheromone smell this morning, then it wasn't just someone entering the room last night.

Something must have happened that caused Jiang Xun's emotions to fluctuate greatly.

But why did he sleep so soundly last night?

I didn't feel anything at all and slept until dawn.

Jiang Ling frowned fiercely.

“Yes, I have been to——”

Jiang Xun raised his eyes to look at Jiang Ling, slowly raised the corners of his lips and admitted it generously.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Ling's voice squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Jiang Xun."

Jiang Ling tightened her fingers and squinted at Jiang Xun, her pupils churning with emotion. "What else did you buy when you went downstairs to buy soda and snacks last night?"

The small kitchen was silent, and the atmosphere was almost frozen like heavy ice.

Jiang Ling raised her hand, grabbed Jiang Xun's collar and pulled him towards herself, her pheromones surging as she pressed towards her brother.

He stared into Jiang Xun's silent eyes, gritted his teeth and spoke word by word: "Answer me."

"What did you put in the drink?"

The early morning sunlight came in through the window, but stopped at Jiang Xun's feet.

Motes of dust danced in the beam of light, while Jiang Xun stood in the shadows with his eyes lowered.

"Jiang Xun, I'm asking you a question."

Jiang Ling's pupils turned dark gold, and his low voice was filled with unconcealable anger.

The twin brother who had the same face as himself finally raised his eyes, and his light voice rang out in the small kitchen: "Haven't you guessed it already——"

Before he could finish his words, a fist so strong that the knuckles turned white came crashing down towards Jiang Xun's face.

Jiang Xun didn't even try to dodge or even blink.

But the fist finally stopped at a position where it almost touched Jiang Xun's nose.

Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Xun's equally dark eyes, and his fist trembled, and finally fell down weakly.

"Why don't you fight anymore?"

Jiang Ling loosened Jiang Xun's collar, pulled the corner of his mouth, and sneered: "Do you think I don't want to?"

"But beating you will leave marks. What do you want me to say if Chen Luan asks about it?"

"Just say I bumped into it accidentally."

"Do you think Chen Luan is a fool?"

Jiang Ling leaned against the table, raised his chin and glared at Jiang Xun: "Was it a collision or a fight? He can't tell the difference?"

"Tell me, is it sleeping pills or something else?"

Jiang Xun lowered his eyes and adjusted his collar that was torn open by Jiang Ling. His Adam's apple rolled and he spoke.

"It's just a sedative and a sleep aid."

"And I know to pick one without side effects."

Jiang Ling raised the corner of her mouth and laughed meaningfully: "But sleeping pills are just ordinary sleeping pills. If you really touch them, you will easily wake up. I guess you didn't accomplish anything. Right?"

"I didn't really plan to do anything."

Jiang Xun squinted at Jiang Ling, pushed Jiang Ling's shoulder away and was about to go out, but was stopped by the latter again.

"Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if he found out?"

Jiang Xun paused.

He pulled the corner of his clothes out of Jiang Ling's hand, turned around and looked at Jiang Ling, but there was suppressed pain in his eyes:

"What else?"

"I want to watch him fall in love with someone else, hug and kiss someone else?"

"I want to watch him marry someone else and have children, and still smile and wish him a happy wedding?"

Jiang Xun's voice became hoarse:

"Jiang Ling, I can't do it."

He looked straight into his twin brother's eyes, only to find that as his words fell, the same emotion gradually filled his twin brother's eyes.

"Jiang Ling."

Jiang Xun turned around and faced Jiang Ling, who was standing in the small patch of sunlight. He raised his eyes, which seemed as calm as water, and spoke in a voice as light as a breeze:

"If I can't get his love in this life."

"Are you really willing?"

you……

Are you willing?

The pheromones belonging to Jiang Ling in the air became chaotic and agitated almost instantly.

“…”

Jiang Ling's Adam's apple rolled, and he opened his mouth, but his voice was like a ball of wet cotton stuck in his throat.

I can't say anything.

Jiang Xun, noticing the change in his brother's pheromones, slowly lowered his eyes and shook his head, chuckling helplessly: "I knew it."

"Just as you know me better than anyone, I know you better than anyone."

"You and I, there's really not much difference."

He turned and opened the kitchen door: "Let's go, breakfast is getting cold."

"Wait a moment."

Jiang Ling's voice came from behind.

Jiang Xun frowned and turned around: "What else sh——Uh!!"

Before he could finish his words, a shadow fell over him, followed by a sharp pain in his abdomen.

"Ugh—cough cough!"

Jiang Xun covered his abdomen and leaned against the door, slowly bending his waist, gasping in pain, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

而面前的江翎收回了拳头，甩了甩手腕，朝他呲着牙笑：“哥，你这么了解我，那你猜到我今天还是会揍你了吗？”

After saying this, he walked past Jiang Xun, who was still curled up, opened the door and walked out:

"I'm going to wash up."

"Come out as soon as you've recovered. Don't let Chen Luan see anything wrong."

Jiang Xun in the kitchen was stunned for a moment, then slowly curled up the corners of his mouth and laughed out loud.

This was the first time the twins had fought since they grew up.

——It wasn’t really a fight, it was Jiang Ling who beat Jiang Xun unilaterally.

But Jiang Xun didn't say anything in the end.

He knew he deserved it.

It wasn't wrong for Jiang Ling to beat him up.

Jiang Xun admitted it.

In the bathroom on the other side, Chen Luan had finished washing up and was facing the mirror, blowing his wet hair.

Halfway through blowing, his hand paused.

What's going on?

The lips seem...

A little swollen?

Did you get a sore throat from the spicy hotpot you ate yesterday?

He stretched out his finger and pressed lightly on his rosy lower lip.

Forget it, drink more water today.

The whirring of the hair dryer masked the approaching footsteps.

Suddenly, a warm body covered my back.

"elder brother."

The young man held Chen Luan's waist loosely with one hand, rested his chin lightly on Chen Luan's shoulder, and supported himself on the edge of the sink with his other hand, leaning slightly towards Chen Luan in his arms and pressing down.

Chen Luan subconsciously tilted his head and ruffled the boy's hair: "Jiang Xun?"

“Hmm—”

The person behind him responded vaguely and tightened his grip a little.

The young man in my arms only smelled of clean soap and wet shampoo.

He quietly rubbed his cheek against the back of Chen Luan's neck, sniffing it like a small animal.

Clean.

There are no traces.

There's no unpleasant smell either.

There are only a few traces of pheromones floating on the surface of the body, which will be dissipated by the wind when you go out.

It seems that nothing was done.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Chen Luan's somewhat puzzled voice came from his arms.

"No."

The boy shook his head, his lips curved into a light arc, and his voice was light: "I just came to tell my brother that breakfast is getting cold."

"knew."

Chen Luan rubbed the boy's head like a large dog: "You guys eat first, I'll be right there."

The young man who was hugging Chen Luan finally noticed the slightly swollen and overly red lips when he turned his head slightly.

Her beautiful light amber eyes narrowed slightly, darkening a little.

The pheromones in the air fluctuated for a moment.

"You're crowded in here. Go wait for me outside."

Chen Luan patted the arm across his waist, signaling the other party to let go as he did in the past.

But it got tighter and tighter.

He stopped the humming hair dryer in his hand and said, "Jiang Xun?"

The next second, the waist was loosened.

The warmth behind him retreated obediently: "Okay."

The young alpha came out of the bathroom and turned around to meet a pair of light amber eyes that were exactly the same as his own.

The other person took off the apron hanging on her body and casually draped it over the back of the chair. She raised an eyebrow at him and said in a calm and light voice: "Are you finished with the inspection?"

Jiang Ling curled up the corners of her lips and sneered, then threw herself onto the sofa and lay down with her arms and legs spread out, glancing at Jiang Xun: "You haven't gone completely crazy yet, and haven't really done anything irreparable."

"I'm not crazy." Jiang Xun kicked his leg away, which was in the way and asked, "Is my identity useful?"

"He's much more patient with you than he is with me."

Jiang Ling's mouth curled down in dissatisfaction.

If he tried to get close to her, Chen Luan would push him out before he could finish his sentence.

"You asked for it." Jiang Xun curled the corners of his lips lightly.

The whirring sound of the hair dryer in the bathroom stopped.

The two of them stopped talking immediately.

Chen Luan came out of the bathroom: "Didn't I tell you to eat first? No need to wait for me."

"I haven't washed my face yet." Jiang Ling turned over and pushed Chen Luan to sit at the dining table: "I'll be right there."

It was a delicious breakfast and Chen Luan was very satisfied.

He went back to his room, changed his clothes, and prepared to go out.

Instead of wearing the white uniform that Jiang Xun had washed last night, Chen Luantu put on his usual combat uniform. "I won't be back at noon. I have extra training today. If you want to go back to Jiang's house, go back by yourselves. I don't have time to take you there."

Jiang Xun was clearing the table. Hearing this, he nodded obediently, "Okay."

Jiang Ling, who was sitting on the sofa, glanced at the uniform hanging on the balcony, crossed her arms and smiled sarcastically, "Not wearing couple outfits today?"

A pillow flew towards his face.

Jiang Ling raised his hand and caught it easily, then held it in his arms.

Chen Luan's voice, chuckling, came from the doorway: "Take some medicine. If this can be called a couple's outfit, then everyone in the military academy would be wearing it."

With a "click", the door closed.

Jiang Ling stretched, put the pillow behind her head, and looked at Jiang Xun: "I saw you were hanging up the phone during breakfast. Who called?"

"I really want to know?" The latter stuffed the dishes into the dishwasher: "It's Jiang Yongting."

“…”

Jiang Ling's relaxed expression immediately collapsed: "What is he going to do?"

"I don't know." Jiang Xun suddenly thought of something and glanced at Jiang Ling: "Logically, if he couldn't get through to me, he would call you. Why didn't you answer the call?"

"I find him annoying and have blocked him a long time ago."

As Jiang Xun was speaking, the screen that had been muted lit up again.

He glanced at the caller ID and threw the phone to Jiang Ling expressionlessly: "You answer it."

"Okay, I'll take it."

Jiang Xun couldn't hear clearly what was said on the other end of the phone, but he saw Jiang Ling frown and hold the phone away as soon as he answered.

Less than half a minute later, Jiang Ling impatiently said, "No. My phone is out of battery, so I hung up."

Then he swiped across the screen twice and threw the phone back.

"What does he want us to do?"

Jiang Xun raised his hand to catch the phone and looked down to see that the person had been blacklisted by Jiang Ling.

"Go to the Voice of Silence charity gala with him." Jiang Ling lay down on the sofa and covered her face with a pillow. Her voice came out muffled: "...sounds a little familiar?"

"It's a foundation my mother founded dedicated to beta equal rights. It's been providing student aid programs and supporting entrepreneurship, and has also invested in beta assisted reproductive medical technology."

Jiang Xun pulled the pillow off Jiang Ling's face and threw it away: "Not long after my mother passed away, the chairman was replaced by Jiang Yongting."

"The old man must have won a lot of votes with this foundation."

Jiang Ling sneered, then frowned the next moment: "That's not right. Does Zhang's have a medical industry?"

He sat up and squinted his eyes at Jiang Xun: "Who is the partner for that medical project?"

After a moment, Jiang Xun looked up after checking the information: "Changyi Medical. It is actually controlled by the Zhang Group."

"It's been going on for eight years."

The twins looked at each other.

"There's a problem."

The other side.

Chen Luan had just drawn up a new training schedule for Qin Yang and was about to head to the training ground.

In front of the main building not far away, this year's graduates are taking graduation photos.

These young lives, dressed in neat and uniform student uniforms, were lined up in square formations. In the sunlight, they silently became like sabers piercing the sky, and even the metal badges on their caps had a cold and hard color.

But with the sound of "click" the camera froze the picture, and the time that had been frozen on them suddenly began to flow briskly again. Whispers and laughter began to rise and fall in the square formation, and those serious faces instantly came alive again.

A dark cloud floated in the distant sky. All the students in the main building square looked up and let out a small sigh.

The dark cloud approached, casting a huge shadow on the square and falling towards the airport behind the school.

"The Pioneer Fleet is here again to demand personnel."

Huo Lin, who was called to a meeting, came back at some point and was standing next to Chen Luan.

She looked at the warship that was gradually descending with the roar of its huge engine, and a look of emotion appeared in her eyes.

Many years ago, when she was still standing in front of the main building in her student uniform, she looked up and exclaimed in amazement at the clouds above her head, just like those young children. Now she has retired for many years due to injury.

"This year, we have an additional Hunter Mobile Special Forces Team. They came here early in the morning."

Chen Luan used the training watch in his hand to block out the glaring sunlight overhead. "There are only so many outstanding graduates. In the past, they all went to the fleet. This year, at least a third will be divided up. I'm sure there will be some noise in the conference room."

The Hunter Mobile Special Forces is a newly established department of the military, specifically responsible for dealing with the increasingly frequent and difficult attacks by the desolate species in recent years.

The previous task force was no longer able to cope with the current level of danger posed by the desolate species and was ultimately disbanded. However, the personnel were all redeployed to various police stations, which prevented the young people who had worked so hard to get in from becoming unemployed.

"They're already arguing."

As soon as Chen Luan finished speaking, Huo Lin laughed. "I just came out of the principal's office. The old man in charge of the Hunters was slamming the table at the principal, complaining that there weren't enough Hunters given to him. The principal used to be his student, so he didn't dare to confront him. He was just trying to appease him."

"Is that Qin Yang's extra training schedule in your hand?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Chen Luan handed over the form: "He wants to join the fleet."

But before Huo Lin could take the training schedule, a hurried shout came from behind him:

"Teacher Huo——"

"Assistant Chen!"

The man, dressed in a black cadet uniform, trotted over, holding his knees and before he could even catch his breath, he hurriedly said, "Someone got hurt due to an operational error at the training ground."

Chen Luan and Huo Lin looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

I just wasn't paying attention for a moment, and these guys were so anxious to send me to the school doctor.

"I'll go. Sister Lin, you go back to class first."

Chen Luan looked at the student: "Don't panic, is the injury serious? Where is the person now?"

"I was far away and couldn't see clearly."

The latter scratched his head and said, "But Qin Yang has already carried the person to the infirmary."

When Chen Luan arrived at the infirmary, he saw the familiar figure from afar.

The tall alpha was wearing a gray camouflage training uniform, with a palm-wide belt that showed off his slender waist. He was leaning against the wall at the door, waiting with a somewhat bored look on his face.

Seeing Chen Luan coming over, he immediately stood up straight and lowered his head slightly: "Assistant Chen."

"What's going on?" Chen Luan leaned over and looked into the curtained infirmary.

Qin Yang also looked somewhat helpless: "It was Meng Sen. Improper operation during the aerial confrontation training caused the thrusters to shut down and the plane crashed."

Chen Luan: “?”

Chen Luan was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "You're already a third-level student and you still make such a low-level mistake. What's wrong with you?"

Before Qin Yang could answer, the curtain at the door of the infirmary was pulled open, and a figure in a white coat walked out leisurely.

The soft and delicate-looking alpha took off his medical gloves and tilted his head to look at Chen Luan. He was surprised at first, and then a bright smile slowly spread across his face.

"Instructor Chen, long time no see."
