When Ning Hanzhu was at her lowest, she encountered Xu Yuqing, who was being robbed. With a moment of weakness, she took her in.
Unexpectedly, this act brought her a continuous stream of trou...
Chapter 27 Chapter 027 Seeking Death Is there something wrong with her...
"Don't talk in my ear."
Ning Hanzhu always felt that the two of them were too close at the moment. In the past, if her friends got so close to her, she wouldn't think much about it.
Alas, she was finally assimilated into this world.
Xu Yuqing felt regretful and couldn't help pinching the other's blood-jade earlobe when he left. This pinch almost made Ning Hanzhu explode, and she almost jumped away from Xu Yuqing.
Xu Yuqing smiled brightly, "So sensitive."
Ning Hanzhu's face flushed crimson. She covered her earlobes, like a young wife being teased. She warned him sternly, "Don't touch me. I'm a genuine Alpha. If I do... you'll be the one who suffers."
Alphas, you say, are strong, and judging by their five senses, they are indeed strong. Even she, an outsider, feels that their strength, sharp hearing and eyesight are very helpful in critical moments. However, once they are influenced by the pheromones of an Omega, they can easily become irrational. In her opinion, if a person cannot control their lower body, they are mostly no different from animals.
So she is more inclined to Beta, not affected by pheromones, and independent and strong.
But she had no choice.
Xu Yuqing twisted his fingertips, which still felt hot and soft. It was magical. How could an Alpha be so soft and so nice to touch?
"Of course I know you're an Alpha, but I feel like you're a little different from other Alphas."
“!!!”
Ning Hanzhu's heart was filled with alarm. Was her disguise so unsuccessful?
She was panicking inside, but she looked fearless. "What's the difference? They all have one nose, two eyes, and one mouth."
That's not wrong.
Xu Yuqing didn't intend to dwell on this issue any further. "Just now I saw you looking around across the street. What were you doing?"
I would rather choke on the bamboo's whispers.
Ning Qianqian hadn't planned to ask Xu Yuqing for help with her preschool enrollment, but she didn't expect that they would meet by chance. She could only sigh at fate.
Thinking it wasn't a big deal anyway, she simply told Xu Yuqing everything.
Xu Yuqing seemed to be thinking about something. "I have a school I can recommend. Come with me."
There was nothing Ning Hanzhu could do but follow.
Xu Yuqing drove the hover car himself, the same one as before. In the narrow space, the two sat side by side, legs touching, and the atmosphere in the air seemed to become particularly sticky.
Ning Hanzhu was able to focus on the outside of the window at first, but as time passed, Alpha's strong five senses also made her very distressed.
For example, now.
The two people's knees rubbed against each other from time to time, which was a very normal thing. When it was crowded, people would inevitably touch each other's bodies. But whether it was because the fabric of the clothes was too thin, or for other reasons, the heat from Xu Yuqing's body was clearly transmitted through the brief contact. She could even feel a hint of pleasure caused by the friction and collision when the muscles were tense.
Help, help!
Is there something wrong with her?
Ning Hanzhu covered half her face with one hand, then rubbed it fiercely. It wasn't her that was wrong, it was her body that was wrong. After all, the world was still a messy and chaotic world, and she was an Alpha, unable to withstand provocation, so it was normal for her to be confused and infatuated.
Yes, that's definitely the case.
She sat upright, trying her best to avoid any contact between the two of them, and the strange feeling that arose in her mind quickly receded like a tide.
Ha, she knew it was definitely not her problem.
Xu Yuqing naturally noticed that Ning Hanzhu was trying his best to avoid him, and his whole body was almost sticking to the inner wall of the hovercraft, which made people laugh and angry.
How naive of you to think you could avoid her this way.
Who on the Capital Star doesn't want to be her guardian? But there is just this Alpha who avoids her like the plague, and Xu Yuqing just doesn't want to let her wish come true.
"You'd better sit closer."
"Haha, no, no, I think the scenery outside is very--ow."
The words haven't been finished yet.
The hovercraft suddenly braked sharply and then took a sharp turn. Ning Hanzhu was like a floating duckweed on a boat, being tossed around dizzily. By the time she came to her senses, she had already knocked Xu Yuqing down, half of her body still pressing on him, the two of them, one on top and the other, in an ambiguous posture.
Xu Yuqing seemed to be hurt by her collision and glared at her fiercely.
Ning Hanzhu immediately raised his hand.
Before she could say anything, Xu Yuqing automatically took over her words, "It's an accident, I know, but can you get up first?"
“…”
Ning Hanzhu climbed up in a panic, but the hovercraft shook and she fell back.
"Hmm."
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
"Flustered" wasn't enough to describe her panic. Her heart was pounding, almost jumping out of her throat. Wherever her palm passed, she felt a soft body, burning her so much that she had nowhere to rest.
After a lot of effort, the two of them sat down again.
Xu Yuqing rubbed his arm and asked, "Why are you so heavy?"
She is a human being, of course she is heavy.
But Ning Hanzhu wisely chose to keep quiet at this moment. Seeing that Xu Yuqing's clothes were a little messy and two strands of hair were scattered, Ning Hanzhu resisted the urge to help her tie up her hair and asked, "How are your arms?"
Xu Yuqing had originally intended to tease her, but in the end, she ended up getting herself into trouble. The loss outweighed the gain. She was furious, "You don't need to be responsible, don't worry."
When these words came out of her mouth, she felt like she had turned into a scumbag. If she really got hurt, she would still take responsibility. Ning Hanzhu saw that she seemed angry and coaxed her in a low voice, "How about I let you push it back?"
Xu Yuqing laughed when he heard this, "You're dreaming, you're taking all the advantage."
Ning Hanzhu wanted to defend herself, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't clear herself. At this moment, the hovercraft suddenly stopped. They had arrived at their destination. The two got out of the car. She saw Xu Yuqing shaking his arm from time to time, "Why don't we go to the hospital to see if he's injured."
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Xu Yuqing felt a little relieved. "If you're really worried, press it for me later."
Ning Hanzhu didn't know whether to agree or not.
However, Xu Yuqing didn't wait for her to answer and walked forward first. The school seemed to be very large. There was a row of security guards at the door. They were wearing the same uniform and all carried wooden weapons. When they saw them, they immediately saluted.
Ning Hanzhu wondered, would a normal school's security staff do this? Was it some kind of interstellar etiquette?
"The principal has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."
"lead the way."
The school's landscaping is very well done, but Ning Hanzhu's attention is all focused on the climbing frames and slides not far away. The wide range of equipment shows that this school is very wealthy. These should be places where children gather and play. The children's loud voices can still be vaguely heard from the several teaching buildings side by side.
"Children, who can identify all these plants? Raise your hands and let the teacher see."
"Come, listen to me say one, two, three."
"Don't rush, everyone has a share of cake today."
"Let's applaud the Star Kids. They sang so beautifully."
"Woo woo woo."
"Hey, stop crying. I can just give you my toy."
Voices came from all directions. Before they saw the principal, Ning Hanzhu had already listened to the voices in each class. There were boys, girls and children talking.
The principal rubbed his hands excitedly when he saw Xu Yuqing. "Ms. Yuqing's presence is truly a great honor for our school."
Xu Yuqing nodded slightly. "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here, Principal. This is the friend I mentioned. Why don't you take us to see the first grade classroom?"
The principal smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't see his eyes. "It's not hard at all. When Miss Yuqing was studying here, I hadn't come here yet. I feel so sorry that we met too late."
Ning Hanzhu, "???"
Is this Xu Yuqing’s alma mater?
After the principal turned his back, Ning Hanzhu couldn't help but ask curiously, "You actually studied here when you were a child?"
Xu Yuqing was about to speak when the principal in front of her couldn't help but interrupt, "But there's more to it than that. Miss Yuqing is also a top student in every subject in our school, getting straight A's every year. She is a role model for all the children."
Wow, that’s definitely a top student.
Xu Yuqing pursed her lips and said, "That's all in the past, Principal. Let's talk about the present. If my little sister came to study here..."
When the principal heard this, his surprised gaze lingered on Ning Hanzhu for two more seconds. The citizens of the capital planet all knew that Xu Yuqing did not have a younger sister, only an older sister.
He immediately paid close attention and took them to every classroom. He didn't go in, but just looked out the window.
The children were all listening attentively to the teacher, not a single one looking outside. Ning Hanzhu found it quite miraculous.
After a tour, she was surprised to find that most of the courses taught in this school were very practical, such as identifying plants and animal species, making pastries, and various handicrafts. The most outrageous thing was that there seemed to be classes teaching shooting and fighting.
Is this a course that primary school students should have?
Ning Hanzhu was full of doubts. While the principal was away, she asked, "Did you also take combat and shooting classes back then?"
Xu Yuqing glanced at her and said, "Didn't the principal just tell you that I'm the best in every subject? Any other questions?"
Ning Hanzhu shook his head.
She suddenly remembered the first time they met. When Snake Brother and the others threatened her with a knife, Xu Yuqing didn't show any fear at all. On the contrary, she was very relaxed.
And that suitcase that she never opened from beginning to end, were there really clothes in it?
"you--"
"If Qianqian were to study here, she could take all the courses before the separation."
"What happens after differentiation?"
Xu Yuqing was silent for a moment. "It depends on what she differentiates into. If she's an Alpha, then she'll receive special training. If she's an Omega."
Ning Hanzhu noticed that she was suddenly lost in thought while she was talking, so she continued, "Forget about Omega, if it differentiates into Beta, can it also be learned?"
Xu Yuqing's expression was complicated. "Are you so sure Qianqian won't differentiate into an Omega?"
Ning Hanzhu couldn't be sure, of course. She scratched her head and said, "I'm more inclined to differentiate into a Beta, but it's not impossible for Qianqian to differentiate into an Alpha in the future. Let's forget about differentiation into an Omega."
Although Omegas in this world have a noble status, they have a huge flaw when it comes to choosing a mate. Does this world's reproduction rely solely on those Omegas?
It's totally off the mark.
Differentiating into an Omega is too tragic.
She didn't want Ning Qianqian to keep wandering around among different Alphas and become a pure breeding machine.
Xu Yuqing murmured, "You're right."
Ning Hanzhu was very satisfied with this school. After confirming that there was no entry requirement, he immediately agreed to send Ning Qianqian to study here.
But when she returned, she found Xu Yuqing in a low mood, listless, and leaning against the window of the hover car in a daze.
He looks very worried.
Ning Hanzhu was still agonizing until the hovercraft dropped her off at her residence. She couldn't bring herself to say anything comforting. "I still have to thank you for what happened today. How about this, I'll treat you to a meal."
Xu Yuqing shook his head and said, "Maybe another day."
Ning Hanzhu watched the hovercraft drive away until it disappeared, and she couldn't understand why Xu Yuqing was in such a bad mood after returning from school.
However, she was still very happy that Ning Qianqian's schooling problem was solved.
When Lu Yutang finally came down from upstairs and the three of them gathered together, she announced the good news. Ning Qianqian blinked.
"Can I go to school now?"
"Wait, Zhuzi, what was the name of that school you just mentioned?"
"A future star."
Lu Yutang stared at her in shock. "Are you saying that our Qianqian will study at Future Star School in the future?"
Ning Hanzhu nodded. "Yes, Miss Xu recommended it. We even visited it today. The school has a good atmosphere and seems to be strictly managed. The security measures are beyond my expectations. Besides, this is Miss Xu's alma mater, so it shouldn't be too bad."
Lu Yutang looked at her with a silly smile, then glanced at the clueless Ning Qianqian, "Zhuzi, I always thought you were the most likely to go to military school among us. I never expected that Qianqian would be the first one among us to enter a military academy. That's amazing."
Ning Hanzhu, "!? What, military academy?"
Lu Yutang picked up Ning Qianqian and held her high. Ning Qianqian loved this game the most and couldn't help but giggle, "Qianqian, you are the future light of our family."
Ning Hanzhu read some popular science information on the Star Network and found out that this school is a military academy for cultivating future stars, and it is difficult for children from ordinary families to enter.
Thinking back to when she politely asked the principal today about the school's admission requirements, the smooth-talking principal immediately said there were no requirements, that she was very welcome and could enter, and that the procedures were immediately completed...
Spicy balls.
Is it too late to drop out of school now?
Did she owe Xu Yuqing another favor?
Ning Hanzhu was sighing on the side, while Lu Yutang and Ning Qianqian were having a great time. It turned out that the joys and sorrows of the world are not the same.
Fortunately, she didn't worry for too long, because more debts are better than nothing.
After she prepared today's dishes, she went to the backend of her account and unexpectedly found a generous reward of three thousand.
There are ten more reviews.
[That's all, who are you looking down on? I finished it in a few bites, not even enough to fill my teeth.]
[Wow, I tried this with the idea of trying some dark cuisine, but I didn't expect the blogger to make such delicious food. I'm a huge fan.]
【tasty. 】
My friend told me that razorfish tasted terrible, and then I recommended your razorfish soup to him, and he blocked me.
[If you can make me two extra servings of sour fish soup, I'll pay you.]
…
However, there was one comment that Ning Hanzhu was more concerned about.
[The sharp-toothed fish feeds on a D-rank beast species. It only contains a small amount of spiritual power, but it has been of great help to me. I hope to have the honor of witnessing the blogger process more advanced ingredients.]
This was the first time Ning Hanzhu had seen such a statement. If this person hadn't left a review, she wouldn't even have known that ingredients could be graded.
No wonder Future Star Primary School starts teaching how to identify plants and animal species, as well as some minerals, etc. It turns out that these are closely related to life.
It seems that she also needs to learn.
Cheer up, Ning Hanzhu starts broadcasting.
The background was a warm background sticker she had specially bought. As soon as the show started, hundreds of people showed up, which surprised Ning Hanzhu.
She waved at the camera, said hello, and then got straight to the point. "Today, I'm going to teach you a simple dish. Let's call it stir-fried red fruit and egg."
Of course, its other name is scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
This is a dish that Ning Hanzhu often eats. Because she couldn't find tomatoes, she used red fruits instead. The fruits are sweet and sour and juicy. As for the eggs, they are laid by the cuckoo beast and have a high protein content. She originally wanted to find beast chickens, but the store owner told her that beast chickens are difficult to find because they are too powerful and often fight and crush their own eggs.
On the contrary, the cuckoo beast has a gentle temperament and lays many eggs.
[The blogger is so perfunctory. This red fruit is so sour, how can it be delicious?]
[It’s still dark cuisine. 】
I crushed a Cuckoomon egg with my hands. It was very relaxing. It tasted like shit. I wonder if this thing would taste like shit if it were made into a dish. Let's go.
When Ning Hanzhu makes this dish, he likes to fry the eggs first, then squeeze the juice from the tomatoes, add some sugar to neutralize the sour taste of the tomatoes, add the ingredients, and finally roll the scrambled eggs in the tomato juice twice.
Red fruits are more sour than tomatoes, so she added more sugar.
The taste of the cuckoo egg was not as exaggerated as netizens in the live broadcast room said, but in the process of breaking and stirring the cuckoo egg, she added seasonings to remove the fishy smell.
After following the steps, the fried red fruit and cuckoo eggs are ready.
She tasted it and confirmed that the taste was roughly right, then uploaded the data to StarNet and put out ten finished products for everyone to taste. After that, she waved to the netizens in the live broadcast room and ended the broadcast.
"Hey, it's really not sour."
“It’s delicious.”
There was a reason why Ning Hanzhu ended the live broadcast early today, because she had to send Ning Qianqian to school tomorrow, but they had not prepared anything necessary for school.
"Brother Lu, see if there's anything I've missed. Let me tell you, we need to buy Qianqian two sets of clothes, a small school bag, and some school supplies..."
"Order directly from StarNet and have it delivered quickly. It's very fast within the city. If there are any omissions, we'll make up for them."
Ning Hanzhu used to have everything prepared for her at school, and she never had to worry about it. Now the roles have been reversed, and she feels a mixture of pride and anxiety, like a daughter growing up. She hadn't noticed it when Xu Yuqing was around, but now she wants to get Ning Qianqian a copy of everything the other children have.
Lu Yutang only played three games with others in the Star Network simulation field.
Wait until he comes to his senses.
The living room was filled with a lot of express boxes.
He was stunned. "Do you need to buy so many things just to go to school?"
Ning Hanzhu nodded. "Yes, I see. The kids at school all use this kind of water bottle. And this backpack, Qianqian can have two. If one gets dirty, she can have a replacement. She can also buy new clothes and shoes..."
Ning Qianqian just stayed in her arms and watched her tear it apart. "Sister, will you come pick me up after school?"
"certainly."
“Are there really that many children in school?”
"some."
"Will they like me?"
Ning Hanzhu then turned her gaze from those things back to the dejected child, "Qianqian is so adorable, of course she'll like it. Don't worry, I'll go to school with you tomorrow. If you don't like school by then, we'll come back, okay?"
Lu Yutang wanted to interrupt, but in the end he said nothing.
The next morning, Ning Hanzhu pulled the lazy child out of bed. Ning Qianqian was confused the whole time. Normally, she never got up so early.
She let Ning Hanzhu hold her while she brushed her teeth, washed her face, and changed her clothes, with sleepy eyes. It was not until she smelled the fragrance of breakfast that her sleepiness disappeared and she yawned.
Ning Hanzhu specifically asked the nanny to order breakfast via a machine. The two of them, one adult and one child, ate in a hurry and then went to catch the suspension train.
She had entered the route into her computer yesterday, arrived at the school on time, and only after showing her student ID was she allowed to enter.
After finding Ning Qianqian's class, she put her schoolbag and water cup in order, and then told her, "Be good and listen to the teacher here. I'll be outside. If anyone bullies you, tell me."
Ning Qianqian glanced outside and said, "Okay."
Ning Hanzhu also realized when she was standing in the classroom that you couldn’t see outside from inside. No wonder no children looked back when they were standing outside.
After class, she stood in the position she had agreed upon with Ning Qianqian and watched the child looking outside the house frequently. The teacher saw it but didn't say anything.
After one class, Ning Qianqian immediately ran out of the classroom.
Ning Hanzhu opened her arms and the little one rushed towards her. She hugged him and felt the child's arms tightly around her. "Qianqian is really great. She actually listened to the whole class so well."
Ning Qianqian pouted and held back.
Ning Hanzhu recalled the first time she was sent to school by adults. Her parents were not around for ten minutes and she burst into tears and kept asking to go home.
It's no use no matter who tries to persuade me.
She just wants to go home anyway.
In the end, her grandfather took her home with a gloomy face, bought her a bunch of snacks, and coaxed her for most of the day before she calmed down. Just learning this took her at least three to five days.
It was her mother who was one step ahead. She found a sister who was older than her and went to the same school to take her to school. With someone to play with and delicious food to eat, she gradually felt that school was interesting.
But at this moment, there were no children of Ning Qianqian's age around them.
"Qianqian, your sister suffers from a lack of education and knows nothing. Our family must have a smart person, and our Qianqian is that smart little baby. You must listen carefully to your teacher, study hard, and grow up to be as amazing as your beautiful sister."
Ning Qianqian patted her like a little adult, "Sister, you are also very good. In my heart, you are the most amazing."
Ning Hanzhu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She stayed outside for half a day and saw that Ning Qianqian gradually adapted to the rhythm of the class. She began to look for her less and less frequently. There was even a little girl in the class who took the initiative to give her snacks. Fortunately, she put snacks in her backpack in advance, and the two girls shared them with each other. Their relationship seemed quite harmonious.
Children's attention is easily attracted by new things.
Ning Qianqian is no exception.
Ning Hanzhu made sure she was no longer needed here before she slowly left the school. She wanted to find a place to kill time so she could pick up the kids after school.
She chose a food street.
Just as I was about to conduct an investigation, the light brain trembled and Ning Yingwu's news suddenly popped up.
[Ning Hanzhu, come out, let's duel.]
Where did this deep well ice come from?
Ning Hanzhu ignored him, and Ning Yingwu jumped back and forth like a grasshopper.
[Ning Hanzhu, you piece of trash! Who allowed you to touch Miss Yuqing? I'm going to kill you.]
"Coward, if you don't dare to agree, I will smash all your mother's things and make sure you never see them again."
She wouldn't fall for such a low-level provocation.
Ning Hanzhu's gaze lingered on the last text message. Was it something belonging to the original body's mother? It should be quite precious.
She sighed softly, "Forget it, I've never seen anyone so eager to die."
