Chapter 32 Cannon Fodder Ex-Boyfriend 32 I Won't Choose Anyone

Nice.

Now everyone is here.

Gu Shiyu stared at Jiang Siran's approaching figure, stiffly tugging at the corners of his mouth. The sharpness he had shown when he was confronting Su Jingyi earlier was gone. If the circumstances allowed, he would have even wanted to pour himself a cup of tea.

At this moment, Su Jingyi also stared blankly at Qi Ziyan, who was walking towards them with an umbrella behind him.

The three beams of light shining from the front and back made his eyes sting and tears well up. Combined with his slightly red eyes and cheeks, he looked pitiful, which would easily trigger a strong protective instinct in an Alpha under normal circumstances.

Unfortunately, of the two Alphas who were able to appreciate his vulnerable appearance at this moment, one was waiting with his eyes down for 888's return and didn't even look up at him, while the other saw him but, let alone felt any protective instinct...

Gu Shiyu thought expressionlessly that the fact that he hadn't taken advantage of Su Jingyi's misfortune at this moment was already a sign of his good character and upbringing.

I told him to drive off first, but Omega insisted on arguing with him. Are you satisfied now?

Both of them chased after them.

Seeing that Su Jingyi was looking at him questioningly, Gu Shiyu shrugged and said:

"Don't look at me, they definitely didn't come with me."

"So you mean it's all my fault that these two people caught up with us?!" Su Jingyi straightened up, gripping Li Qingran even tighter, his voice becoming somewhat shrill with tension.

Li Qingran reached out and pinched Su Jingyi's ear, and Su Jingyi immediately leaned closer.

"Brother, is your ear bothering you?"

"...It's alright." Li Qingran smiled at Su Jingyi, then looked around as if she had just realized what was happening, and exclaimed, "It's really lively."

“It’s certainly quite lively,” Gu Shiyu added, then paused, and after a moment, looked at Li Qingran and continued:

"But you should know who they're all here for, right?"

In fact, not only Jiang Siran and Qi Ziyan, but also Su Jingyi, and even him, had only one goal from beginning to end: Li Qingran, who was sitting next to him and whose expression remained calm until this moment...

Gu Shiyu stared intently at Alpha's handsome face, watching him blink in confusion after hearing her question, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.

Those grey eyes, which would ultimately fill with an unknown figure, were forever veiled in a thin mist, making it impossible to discern the expression in his eyes or fathom what he was thinking. For a moment, Gu Shiyu felt that Li Qingran was like a fairy who had just fallen from a mountain stream to the human world, easily bewitching people to kneel on one knee and offer their true hearts to him, while he himself might not even know what true heart is.

Wherever his gaze fell, Alpha first looked up at Jiang Siran, but his face did not show the surprise that Gu Shiyu had expected. Then, he turned to look at the back of the car, and when his gaze fell on Qi Ziyan, he did not show the surprise that Su Jingyi had expected.

He seemed like a mere spectator who had stumbled upon this place, even though Jiang Siran had already opened the car door and grabbed his arm, his face only showed curiosity about the current chaotic situation.

He seemed only interested in knowing how far they could go, and didn't seem to care much about the individuals themselves.

Biting his lower lip lightly, Gu Shiyu suddenly felt a little powerless for some reason, but this powerlessness did not prevent him from reaching out and grabbing Li Qingran's other arm when Jiang Siran grabbed Li Qingran's wrist and tried to take him away.

The tug-of-war competition took place once again inside the vehicle, except this time the contestants changed from one A and one O to one A and one O against one A.

Yes.

The moment Jiang Siran opened the car door, Su Jingyi, who had previously been prickly and unwilling to cooperate with Gu Shiyu, immediately bristled and stood next to Gu Shiyu, joining her in confronting the most threatening Jiang Siran.

After all, this newly appeared Alpha had indeed taken Li Qingran away, and Li Qingran was willing to go with him, which made Su Jingyi feel even more threatened.

As for the fact that the other party had hugged him before, and even almost temporarily marked him under the influence of pheromones, Su Jingyi didn't care about it, let alone feel shy or embarrassed.

The other person was his love rival. The reason he didn't stab her when she hugged him was because he was out of his mind and didn't have the strength at the time.

Still shy...

Su Jingyi now only wants Jiang Siran to disappear from this world forever!

Can A go die?!

Why would an Alpha want to steal his brother from him?!

Su Jingyi grabbed Li Qingran's shoulder, and thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn around and glare at Gu Shiyu.

Gu Shiyu, who was inexplicably glared at by Su Jingyi, was speechless.

You've had another episode, haven't you?

Gu Shiyu frowned, but he also knew that this was not a good time to argue with Su Jingyi. They needed to get the two people outside the car away first.

It was at this moment that Qi Ziyan, the last person to arrive at the car, also squeezed to the car door.

Unlike his three predecessors, who were ready to fight and directly seize ownership of Li Qingran, he looked at the Alpha with six arms that had appeared on his body, and a shy smile appeared on his pale face.

"Qingran, it's been a long time."

It has been more than a week since they last met.

He is now completely normal and will no longer exhibit the same out-of-control behavior as he did in the Alpha Room.

so……

"Qingran, if you still want to leave, could you consider coming with me?"

?

? ?

? ? ?

The other three people, who had been secretly competing with each other, immediately looked up and stared at each other with surprise and speechlessness on their faces.

What does that mean?

In a competition where both intellectual and physical contests are acceptable, why are you so special that you insist on playing the emotional card?

Can't you have some martial ethics?!

Jiang Siran scoffed coldly, "Go with you? How do you mean? Are you going to be detained and taken away at the airport?!"

Gu Shiyu and Su Jingyi remained silent, since they had both been involved in stopping people at the airport. Besides, it was clearly a fight between the two people outside the car, and they didn't want to get involved as long as Li Qingran wasn't involved.

Let them fight like dogs.

Take them down one by one.

Ideally, both sides would suffer heavy losses, thus reducing their competitors.

The group inside the car had a good plan, but unfortunately, Qi Ziyan had no intention of fighting with Jiang Siran at all.

The Omega with chestnut hair didn't even notice the extremely imposing Alpha next to him; his eyes were only on Li Qingran, who was leaning back in her seat and turned to look at him after hearing his voice.

He looked at me!

This shows that he still cares about me!

In other words—he cares about me!

Qi Ziyan felt a surge of excitement, and his hand gripping the umbrella trembled slightly involuntarily.

He was like a fervent fan who had finally stood in front of his idol, excited yet shy, his eyes fixed on Li Qingran with eagerness and fervor.

"Really, Qingran, I can take you wherever you want to go. We can even travel around the world and never return to Nancheng. As long as you're willing, I can take you away right away in a moment."

As Qi Ziyan spoke, as if afraid that Li Qingran would still hesitate, he directly turned his attention to the other competitors:

"If you think about it carefully, I am the most suitable person to take you away."

"Qi Ziyan, you—" Su Jingyi couldn't hold back any longer, but unfortunately, Qi Ziyan didn't even have eyes for him at that moment. Before Su Jingyi could even open his mouth, Qi Ziyan interrupted him and continued:

"Take Gu Shiyu for example. The Gu family is just a newly rich family in Nancheng. Their wealth, power, and influence are not even comparable to the Su family. It's impossible for him to really abandon the Gu family and be wholeheartedly with you..."

Before she could even speak, Gu Shiyu was already being belittled: "...You—"

"And then there's Su Jingyi. The Su family is a large and powerful family, but it doesn't all belong to Su Jingyi. Besides, the Su family has always wanted to push Su Jingyi and Gu Shiyu to get engaged and marry. How could such a business family allow an Omega in the family to have an ordinary and mundane marriage?"

Then, Su Jingyi, who had just been kicked, cried out, "How come our family is like this—"

"And Jiang Siran too!"

Qi Ziyan was so engrossed in his attack that he was completely oblivious to the world around him.

"Don't be fooled by his apparent lack of connection to Su Jingyi and his ability to take you to the North City, away from everything in the South City. But Qingran, you must understand that the Alpha beside me is the true young master of the Jiang family, who has just returned. He has two older brothers who are eyeing him covetously, as well as a fake young master who is close to his brothers. It's true that the Jiang family patriarch favors Jiang Siran, but just because he can protect Jiang Siran doesn't mean he can protect you. You'll definitely be drawn into the family's power struggles there, and if you encounter any danger..."

"You're talking nonsense! How could I possibly let Qingran be in danger!" Jiang Siran shouted, the smell of gunpowder emanating from him spreading outwards, instantly drawing everyone present into a battlefield engulfed in flames.

Qi Ziyan, however, remained unyielding. "You may not be able to, but what about your family? Can you guarantee they won't use Qingran to threaten you?!"

"I will not allow them to have any chance to threaten Qingran!"

Qi Ziyan sneered, "Anyone can talk. The problem is, if Qingran leaves with you, she might encounter danger, but if she stays with me, there won't be any issues with her life!"

"There's certainly no safety for my life, but what about my personal safety?"

Before Jiang Siran could refute, Su Jingyi, who had been patiently enduring Qi Ziyan for a long time, couldn't help but join in:

"Do I need to remind you? My brother suffered backlash from pheromone attacks twice because of you!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ziyan's face instantly turned pale. "I—"

"The first time was when you suddenly became aroused, which can be considered an accident for now. After all, it's normal to lose your mind and desperately want to seek an Alpha's mark when you're in aroused. But what about the second time?"

Su Jingyi stared intently at Qi Ziyan, her red lips moving as if spitting out knives aimed straight at Qi Ziyan's heart.

"You knew perfectly well that your brother was in his most vulnerable period at that time, yet you deliberately released pheromones to seduce him, claiming it was to help him, but what were you really doing? You were just trying to satisfy your own selfish desires, weren't you?"

Su Jingyi said, "Admit it, you fell in love with Li Qingran back then, and you wanted to be with him, all under the guise of doing it for my own good... Qi Ziyan, when you said those things, weren't you even a little bit ashamed?"

"..." Qi Ziyan couldn't help but bite his lip, "Then what did I do wrong? Qingran clearly didn't want to be with you back then."

"But he's still my boyfriend. Even now, neither of us has mentioned breaking up with each other, so we're still a couple. And you, and both of you, are shameless third parties trying to take his place, understand?"

Su Jingyi tilted his head as he watched Qi Ziyan, his slender fingers gently resting on Li Qingran's shoulder. His eyes, however, remained fixed on Qi Ziyan. His face was slightly pale from the rain, but his lips were as red as blood. When he slightly curled them up, he looked like a beautiful ghost coming to claim lives at midnight—beautiful, yet also menacing.

Qi Ziyan gritted his teeth, "But all the signs indicate that Qingran simply doesn't want to be with you!"

"I don't need to worry about whether he wants to be with me or not, I just want him to stay by my side."

Su Jingyi said, "Besides, even if my brother really doesn't want to be with me, does he want to be with you?"

Omega rested his chin on Li Qingran's shoulder, tilted his head, and looked at Qi Ziyan.

"I don't think so. After all, my brother rejected you twice before, and one of those times was even during his sensitive period..."

"!!!" Qi Ziyan was furious. His chestnut hair swayed like flames under the light.

"So you were accepted by him?!"

"Otherwise, whose boyfriend is he now?" Su Jingyi's smile widened, and his arm around Li Qingran's waist tightened.

"mine."

He stared at Qi Ziyan, but his words were addressed to everyone present.

"He's my boyfriend!"

"So what? So what if he's your boyfriend? All I know is that he agreed to leave with me tonight,"

Jiang Siran gripped Li Qingran's wrist, his breathing becoming heavy due to the chaotic scene before him.

"If it weren't for you, we would already be in the North City by now!"

"But the fact is, you're still in Nancheng, and you don't have the ability to take the person away."

Gu Shiyu, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly spoke up:

"So, you also need to face reality: you can't take people with you when you leave home."

Jiang Siran looked at Gu Shiyu, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Then may I ask, Mr. Gu, in what capacity are you speaking to me? Are you Mr. Su's fiancé, or a stray dog ​​who was rejected by Qingran several times and finally left my house in a sorry state?"

"Jiang Siran, I'm warning you!"

Gu Shiyu's dark eyes were filled with icy emotion.

"I left at the time only to take care of Qingran's feelings and let him calm down. I didn't say that I was giving the person to you!"

"Give way?" Jiang Siran's smile grew even brighter, which became even more glaring in Gu Shiyu's eyes.

Because he heard Jiang Siran say:

"I'm curious about your perspective in using the word 'let'. As far as I know, Qingran has never said he has any special feelings for you, right? The plan he agreed to before was just to let you see him off."

"Didn't you say back then that you were going to get engaged to Su Jingyi, and that's why you wanted to cooperate with Qingran to get rid of Su Jingyi's current boyfriend, in order to ensure your fake marriage with Su Jingyi and the cooperation between the Gu and Su families?"

"So it seems that you've always been a collaborator with Qingran, not even a friend. What gives you the right to say you're 'giving' Qingran to me!"

Even if it's just a dish, the people at the table should be the ones offering it to each other.

How can someone who hasn't even come up to the table talk about 'giving way'?

How ridiculous!

"Jiang Siran!"

"Are you trying to see who can shout the loudest, Gu Shiyu!"

The pheromones smelling of gunpowder and red wine were completely devoid of the gentleness and obedience they had shown in front of Li Qingran. They surged and roared towards each other, fiercely clashing.

Meanwhile, the two Omegas in the middle, affected by their pheromones, were now entangled in a lemon and honey scent, showing no signs of merging, and were simply tearing at each other.

For a moment, the pheromones inside the carriage were so chaotic that it felt like a party.

The four attacked each other, each regarding the other three as outsiders invading their territory, and each trying their best to drive the other out.

"You don't actually think Qingran likes you, do you?! He's just a dog, and he really thinks he's a human being!"

Although the power disparity between Omega and Alpha is too great, Su Jingyi is clearly a smart Omega who is good at using all the tools around him.

For example, right now, he pulled out a folder from the pocket behind his seat and threw it at Jiang Siran's hand that was holding Li Qingran, using the sharpest side.

Two obvious bloodstains instantly appeared on the back of Jiang Siran's hand, where the veins were bulging, but this was not enough to make Jiang Siran let go.

"He doesn't like me, so does he only like you? I'm a dog, so what are you? A pathetic worm that nobody wants and yet you keep coming to me!" Jiang Siran's dark green eyes turned completely gloomy. If it weren't for the fact that Alphas would go to jail for hurting Omegas, he would have already crushed Su Jingyi's hand on Li Qingran's shoulder.

"So what are you all arguing about? We're all on the same starting line, so just lay out your own interests and let Qingran see who is the most useful to her."

Qi Ziyan rolled her eyes, wondering what these people were arguing about.

Gu Shiyu didn't know what Qi Ziyan was so superior about.

"What do you mean by 'most useful'? You just see yourself as a tool?"

"If Qingran chooses me, what's wrong with being a tool?"

Qi Ziyan grinned at Gu Shiyu, "As for you, Gu Shiyu, if you're still thinking about your pitiful Alpha pride at a time like this, you might as well get off the car now and take your fiancé with you. Don't let him go crazy here, okay?!"

"Do I need to remind you?" Gu Shiyu said coldly, "This is my car!"

"Besides, Gu Shiyu and I won't get engaged, so Qi Ziyan, just give up!" Su Jingyi added from the side.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Siran raised an eyebrow and said, "You think you can just say you won't get engaged and then you won't? You two good-for-nothings controlled by your families, can you please stop yelling here?"

"What are you doing barking here, you stray dog ​​who just got recognized as a kin?"

Gu Shiyu's eyes were burning. "If I'm controlled by my family, then your family's mess will be much easier to clean up. Can you guarantee that your grandfather will agree to you liking an Alpha?! Won't your two brothers take the opportunity to retaliate against you and hurt Qingran in the process?"

"So, all things considered, I'm still the most suitable person to be with Qingran—" Qi Ziyan concluded.

"Get out of my way!"

Before he could finish speaking, the other three interrupted him in unison.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and Li Qingran finally found some peace and quiet.

As far as the eye could see, there were four people: two Alphas and two Omegas. In the original story, they could even be paired up, but now they were arguing fiercely and inconclusively.

Everyone was very emotional, biting their lips and breathing rapidly. If there had been a stethoscope, you could probably have heard their heartbeats, each one more rapid than the last.

Perhaps they knew that continuing down this path wouldn't lead to anything, because the final decision-making power still rested with Li Qingran, who was the only one in charge among everyone present.

Gu Shiyu took a deep breath, his gaze sliding down the faces of everyone in front of him, finally settling on Li Qingran.

He pursed his lips, then said in a deep voice:

"So, Qingran, we've argued for so long, and we've basically said everything we needed to say. Now... is there anything you want to say?"

"Me?" Li Qingran blinked, as if she didn't understand Gu Shiyu's words.

What did I say?

"Who do you want to go with?" Jiang Siran asked softly.

"Qingran, there are four cars parked in front of you right now. Can you tell us which one you most want to get into?"

As Jiang Siran finished speaking, the eyes of the four people present all turned to Li Qingran, who had remained silent throughout the entire battle.

They pursed their lips, held their breath, and waited for the Alpha to utter their own names.

They are waiting.

At the same time, Li Qingran was also waiting...

Twisted blue beams of light flashed past him, covered with countless white characters.

The engravings are very deep, probably to leave these words on it forever.

However, at this very moment, those words, which could even be described as being embedded in the pillar of light, are disappearing one by one.

As the old text disappeared, new, white text, written by an unknown author, emerged from inside the pillar of light.

One after another.

One sentence after another...

Until a blank blue beam of light flashed before Li Qingran's eyes, and a mechanical voice rang in her mind, Li Qingran also looked up at Jiang Siran and the others.

Those grey eyes, finally brimming with emotion, blinked twice. Then, under the expectant gazes of the four people opposite her, Li Qingran spoke softly.

"I won't choose anyone."

He smiled at the four of them and said, "I choose to leave on my own."

At the same time, in his mind,

[Ding! System emergency notification: Since all major characters in this world have deviated from the plot setting, the world line is completely unknown, and the importance of all characters will be determined by the world rules themselves!]

Of course, these re-evaluated roles also include you, my mission taker.
