"Isn't that the one from the Federation?" Cen Yu said impatiently, feigning ignorance.

“The one from the Federation is the one from the Federation.” Li Chonghe looked at Cen Yu and said, “This newcomer does have some connection with you.” He did not intend to reveal his connection with Cen Shen, but as the former head of the dormitory department and the second prince, he enjoyed special privileges, so he could naturally see where this “Beta” who suddenly entered the military academy came from.

"He was recommended for admission by your brother."

Upon hearing this, Cen Yu immediately frowned, "Cen Shen?"

He looked up at Li Chonghe and asked, "What's that person's name?"

“Chi Jiazhen,” Li Chonghe said, leaning against the bedroom door, “is a… Beta.”

"Beta?"

Li Chonghe noticed that Cen Yu's expression changed several times after hearing Chi Jiazhen's name and the word Beta. He knew what the other person was wondering. "What? You know her?"

Of course, Cen Yu wouldn't say in this setting that Chi Jiazhen was his Omega!

According to his character, he didn't want Chi Jiazhen to enroll in school from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want anyone to know that Chi Jiazhen was his Omega, so he could only turn his face away and say, "I don't know."

"I don't know him."

Li Chonghe found it amusing.

"Judging from the time, he and that guy from the Federation probably enrolled around the same time," he said slowly, his gaze fixed on Cen Yu's back. "Just after the competition ended."

"You really don't know him?" he asked deliberately. "Chi Jiazhen was recommended for admission by your brother."

“…How could I possibly know a Beta?” Cen Yu turned around impatiently. “Only a Beta like Cen Shen would be friends with other Betas.”

When Li Chonghe heard this answer, he wasn't even surprised.

However, when he heard Cen Yu repeatedly say "Beta," he did have an urge to hang him up and beat him up, to teach him a lesson.

Now he felt that Cen Shen's idea wasn't crazy anymore, and that Cen Yu really needed to be taught a lesson.

"Really?" Li Chonghe said, "His grades are excellent, and he'll probably get into the command department this time."

He deliberately said to Cen Yu, "It seems that a new star will emerge in the command department."

Of course, this was a lie. Li Chonghe felt that Chi Jiazhen's grades were only slightly above average, and her background was not outstanding—she came from a remote star of the Empire and had never received command training before. However, she did well in theoretical courses, presumably after arriving in the Star Capital.

In short, he and Cen Shen shared the same idea—

An insignificant person.

"Impossible!" Cen Yu retorted.

He suddenly spoke up, saying to Li Chonghe, "You care about him so much, have you already fallen for him?"

Cen Yu felt that she was not spreading rumors! As a stock-picking novel, it is perfectly normal for a high-ranking and powerful male supporting character to have a crush on the protagonist... In the original work, Li Chonghe had cooperated with the protagonist quite a bit and felt very sorry for this strong Beta who was disliked by Cen Yu.

“But you’re both Betas, you should be a good match.” Cen Yu continued to tease Li Chonghe, displaying his sharp tongue once again.

Li Chonghe leaned against the bedroom wall. "Impossible."

"Why is it impossible?" Cen Yu said. "Do you actually want to be with an Omega?!"

“Of course I don’t want to be with an Omega.” Li Chonghe had no interest in Omegas whatsoever, but Cen Yu didn’t need to know about it. “Some things are beyond my control.”

After pondering for a while, Cen Yu immediately understood what Li Chonghe meant—

As the second prince, he too was to be forced into an arranged marriage!

Therefore, free love is impossible!

Perhaps sensing that his conversation with Cen Yu had crossed a certain line, Li Chonghe changed the subject again. “It’s getting late.” He glanced at the time on his communicator. “If you want to move into this dormitory tonight, I’ll find somewhere else to stay for the night.”

“I don’t want to move into the place where the Betas live,” Cen Yu said deliberately.

He knew in his heart that he would only be the head of the dormitory supervisor department until the end of the year at most... Before leaving Li Chonghe's dormitory, he turned back to look at the other person again, "Chi Jiazhen entered the school as a Beta?"

Li Chonghe knew what the other person was wondering about, "It's the Beta identity."

Cen Yu seemed to be thinking about something, but in the end he didn't say anything and just left Li Chonghe's dormitory.

...

After leaving the dormitory, Cen Yu immediately applied to speak with Cen Shen.

He only said that he had something important to tell his family... Perhaps because he had become the new head of the dormitory supervisor department, his authority was released very quickly. Cen Yu dialed Cen Shen's communicator almost in the corridor.

"...Xiao Yu?" Cen Shen on the other end of the communicator still sounded somewhat incredulous and surprised. "What happened at school?"

"Why did Chi Jiazhen get into the Imperial Military Academy?!" Cen Yu demanded directly.

Cen Shen fell silent on the other end of the communicator. After about half a minute, he asked, "Where did you get this information from?"

“Of course someone told me,” Cen Yuli readily betrayed Li Chonghe.

“Chi Jiazhen is clearly…” He wanted to say Omega, but worried that someone might hear him, so he omitted that part. Then he asked, “Why did you enroll as a Beta?”

He knew that this was most likely Cen Shen's doing.

"So you called just to question me about this?" Cen Shen's voice came through the communicator, sounding somewhat unreal. "Just for Chi Jiazhen?"

"..." Otherwise, how could the two brothers still be so loving and respectful to each other?
