Chapter 201 "Guan Yue!" Fanna called me, "Gather...
"Guan Yue!" Fanna called me, "Aren't you going to the dinner party?"
I waved my hand at her: "No, someone is looking for me."
"Who is it? Didn't we agree to go out for dinner together after the debate?"
Fanna is an alpha. We met in the debate team. At first, I didn’t want to talk to her, but she was too outgoing.
"A egret."
Fanna was stunned: "Huh?"
I smiled and said, "Just kidding."
After that day, Fu Yunlu never contacted me again, and I was happy with it. It would be best if he never thought of me again in his life, so that I could be kind enough to let him go.
Half an hour before the debate started, he suddenly sent me a message asking if I had time later. I said the debate was about to start and I was afraid I didn't have time.
'What level are you?'
'Second debate.'
'The second debater position is not suitable for you.'
'Yeah. '
Fu Yunlu said: "After the game, come to the school gate and I will pick you up."
I thought about it and decided to fly the pigeons for the dinner party: "Okay."
Fu Yunlu drove a very low-key car. After all, his status did not allow him to make a high-profile appearance. Any stain would become a weapon used by other princes against him, so I don’t understand why he had to be so tough and unyielding to establish such a deformed relationship with me.
Love at first sight? I opened the car door and leaned in to get in. To me, love at first sight is the cheapest emotion.
"Mr. Fu." I nodded at him. "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Fu Yunlu turned off the computer screen, but when I took a glance at it when I got into the car, it was covered with densely packed words.
He asked, "Did you win the game?"
"Win."
Fu Yunlu smiled at me and said, "Congratulations."
I smiled back at him. "Where are we going now?"
"If you're hungry, we can go eat first."
Fu Yunlu booked a terrace restaurant, which is located on the top floor of the tallest building in the entire main city. When the weather is good, there will be no transparent cover to block the wind and rain. Guests can experience just the right amount of sunshine, breeze, and a panoramic view of the main city.
It was almost dusk, and the sun was about to set. The thin clouds were dyed orange and red, and all the tall buildings were reflecting its scattered afterglow. Even Fu Yunlu became a little gentle under such light.
Fu Yunlu said: "We came at the right time."
The sunset in the main city is indeed beautiful, but its attraction to me is only for a moment. I know that such a beautiful scenery does not belong to me. It only visited my life briefly because of Fu Yunlu.
He asked, "Do you like it?"
I pretended to be immersed in it and replied, "I like it." I turned my head to look at him and curled my lips, "Very beautiful, Mr. Fu."
Fu Yunlu paused and nodded: "...As long as you like it, go ahead and order."
I pushed the menu to him and said, "Please order. I'm not very familiar with this restaurant."
"What are your taste preferences?"
"Sweeter."
Fu Yunlu wasn't too surprised: "Then let's have some sweets first, as an appetizer."
He was so considerate, as if the person who sent a few burly men to point guns at me some time ago was not him.
I asked, "Why is Mr. Fu interested in me?"
Fu Yunlu replied calmly, "The year you entered school, you gave a speech as an outstanding representative student. I was in the audience at that time."
I asked, “Why now…”
"Because I was very busy in the past two years." Fu Yunlu smiled at me, "I have some free time this year."
He treated me like some kind of pet. I rubbed my index finger, guessing he'd been paying respects to someone else for the past two years. I said, bewildered, "I'm surprised Mr. Fu still remembers me."
He commented condescendingly: "I've told you that you are excellent, Liang Guanyue. You were admitted to the Stello University in the main city with your own strength. Before that, you were just a person on a very poor planet..." He paused, as if he was very understanding and did not say those two words.
"It's alright, it's the truth," I said. "I'm just an orphan on a remote, impoverished planet."
Fu Yunlu showed a guilty expression: "Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it."
Actually, fate wasn't completely cruel to me; at least I differentiated into an alpha. On the planet where I'd lived for eighteen years, there was an omega in my school with the same grades as me, but Stroh University only gave that planet one spot.
I said, "So I've always felt... that I'm not worthy of Mr. Fu." I covered my mouth and looked at him fearfully, "That's not what I meant. I know my relationship with Mr. Fu is just admiration, but even if it's admiration, I still..."
Fu Yunlu held my hand, looked at me very tenderly, and shook her head: "Every life is equal."
I almost laughed out loud.
If I had not seen his contempt for the law, I would probably have been deceived by Fu Yunlu's superb acting skills.
The two of us are like hunters disguised in the jungle, moving cautiously, waiting for the moment when the other falls into the trap.
But I am sure that this game will end with Fu Yunlu's surrender. From the moment he agreed to my three-month request to now when he played the role of a perfect lover in front of me, Fu Yunlu lost.
He thought I was powerless, had worked part-time to get into the best university in the main city, and hadn't even entered society yet, so I'd probably be easy to win over. But if he had actually been to the planet I once lived on, he'd know how difficult it is to live a decent life.
After dinner, he asked me where else I wanted to go. I thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Fu, can you skate?"
Fu Yunlu said honestly, "I'm not good at this." He wondered, "Is this similar to skiing?"
I said, "I don't know, but Mr. Fu can try."
Fu Yunlu said, "Can you?"
"I used to work at an ice rink, coaching some of the kids there."
Fu Yunlu smiled and said, "Can you teach me?"
"If Mr. Fu doesn't mind."
On the way to the skating rink, Fu Yunlu suggested that I change my address: "You don't have to address me as 'you' anymore."
I asked, "Then what should I call Mr. Fu?"
To be honest, I always thought the name Fu Yunlu was strange and difficult to pronounce.
Fu Yunlu said: "When it's just the two of us, just call me by my name."
The car was unmanned. I turned to look him in the eye and said, "Fu Yunlu."
Fu Yunlu seemed to be attracted by my gaze and was stunned for a full second. He didn't seem offended when I called his full name so quickly. He smiled and replied, "I thought you needed some time to prepare before saying my name."
I propped myself up on the seat with my arms, leaned slightly closer to him, and switched back to my original address: "Is Mr. Fu's birthday next month?"
"...Yes," he said. "How did you know?"
I smiled and said, "Since so many people like Mr. Fu, you can naturally find him online."
Fu Yunlu will be 29 next month. In the main urban area where life is affluent and medical resources are advanced, the average life expectancy has reached over 200 years.
Another reason why Fu Yunlu was so popular among omegas was that he was still unmarried, and there had been no news of him getting married. As a result, many omegas, with the vacant position of "wife" beside him, began to fantasize about whether they could take the position themselves.
As expected, the skating rink was also cleared. Today, Fu Yunlu was wearing a very fitting gray suit. He looked very eye-catching in formal attire. To be honest, if I were an omega, I would probably be subconsciously attracted to him.
Unfortunately, I have no interest in alpha at all.
Fu Yunlu put on protective gear and skates and stood at the entrance without moving. I skated in front of him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Yunlu might have regretted coming here, because he thought it would be embarrassing if he fell in front of a child.
I could tell he was hesitating, but I didn't point it out. I held out my hand and said, "Skiing is much harder than skating. If you can ski, you can learn this quickly."
Fu Yunlu said fussily, "The ice surface is very uneven."
I felt like laughing again. But I acted very conscientiously. I winked at him and said, "Don't fall. I'll hold your hand."
Fu Yunlu didn't know why she got so carried away and agreed to learn skating from him. She came to this tiny skating rink that she had never heard of before and played these couple tricks.
My hand was still extended, and I said softly but without letting anyone refuse, "It's okay, Fu Yunlu, give me your hand, I'll take you away."
