Chapter 39
Making Officer Rein write a 6,000-word self-criticism every day...? Is this also what the general wants?
The doctor kept his wrist raised and explained, "Officer Rein will come here every evening at 8 o'clock after get off work to submit his self-review. If you don't have time, you don't have to come. I can collect it for you."
"The General hopes that Officer Rein can express some substantial apology to you, but if this arrangement makes you feel embarrassed, the General will consider having Officer Rein adopt another approach."
Shi Yu thought about it and felt a little conflicted.
She was not embarrassed by the general's decision. Shi Yu understood the general's good intentions... She just felt that it was a bit strange that such a cold and serious officer had to hand in a 6,000-word self-criticism to her every day like handing in homework to a teacher.
Thinking that this was the general's arrangement, Shi Yu hesitated for a moment and finally agreed: "I'm free at 8 o'clock in the evening, so it shouldn't be a problem."
She didn't have classes in the afternoon, so she could come here after finishing her math problems and eating. It wouldn't take her much time to get the apology letter.
Upon hearing this, the doctor nodded his chin slightly, and then his black eyes under the glasses moved quietly to the officer who was retreating opposite.
"Officer Rain," Doctor Lin Yin paused and asked, "Are you having any inconvenience regarding the time arrangement?"
The trouser legs were tucked into the boots in a dignified and fitting manner. The unusual smell just now seemed to have touched the Alpha's patience. The officer with a cold and noble temperament frowned and glanced at the Omega with rosy cheeks and good complexion with an inquiring look.
"Your body..." he asked coldly.
Lin Yin's glasses reflected the light, her black eyes were deep, and the Beta doctor, who was insensitive to smells, used his eyes to warn Lei Yin to remember those tedious precautions, and the attitude he showed now was no longer in line with the norm.
Lei Yin lowered his blue eyes, used his knuckles to lift the glove at his wrist a little, and changed his words stiffly: "No, it's nothing."
Shigure gave him a confused look.
The blond young man had a stern expression, his military uniform collar buttoned neatly to his throat. He suppressed the usual force in his voice and spoke slowly, "Tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock, I will be here as promised."
——This was equivalent to reaching an agreement, so for the next two weeks, Shigure had an additional small schedule every night.
Her meeting with Officer Rain ended quickly. After leaving the meeting room, Lin Yin took Shi Yu back to the hovercraft. The terminal on the doctor's wrist received a video request from the general.
"General, are you busy?"
Shigure moved closer to the projected image. The general appeared to be in a conference room. The dark, wide desk was piled high with documents, and a steaming cup of coffee was placed inconspicuously next to the general.
General Heinrich smiled, a hint of helplessness in the corners of his kind eyes: "I'm sorry Shi Yu, I was too busy with official business and didn't make it to the meeting room in time this afternoon."
How could Shi Yu feel comfortable with this? She quickly said, "It's okay, General! Everything went smoothly this afternoon, and I've already confirmed a time to meet with Officer Rain every day."
"Thank you for your kindness..." she whispered to the general.
"It's good that you're willing to accept Rain's apology and make amends," the general said. "As promised, I've prepared some gifts for you. Unfortunately, I can only deliver them to you through Lin Yin now."
Shi Yu pursed her lips, suppressing the disappointment welling up in her heart, lowered her eyes and asked, "Then, will you come again...?"
The general's tone was as gentle as ever as he replied, "I will."
"Take care of yourself. I will come to visit you again after a while."
The meeting with Officer Rain didn't take Shi Yu much time. After returning to the dormitory, she wanted to check on Ed's current situation. However, when she thought of what happened at noon, Shi Yu couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
She silently touched the back of her poor neck and decided to wait until dinner time.
When Shi Yu was holding the porridge and standing at the neighbor's door with a somewhat stiff body, she had to take several deep breaths to relieve the tension so that she could suppress the trembling in her palms and push open the door.
"...Mr. Ed?"
After entering, Shi Yu took two steps toward the bedside when he was surprised to see his neighbor already awake. The silver-haired boy's pale cheeks flushed lightly. He half-sat up, his soaked eyelashes slightly raised, his expression seeming to have regained some of his previous rationality and indifference.
After being surprised, Shi Yu asked awkwardly, "Um, Ed, has your body recovered?"
Ed's pale eyes were cold and clear, and the slightly scrutinizing look in them made Shi Yu shamefully recall the events of the past two days. The girl's voice gradually faded, her face flushed, and she finally lowered her head in embarrassment.
"It's okay." Ed looked at her, his tone hoarse with fatigue, "I'm sorry to bother you these past two days."
The neighbor's tone was much softer than Shi Yu had expected. Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the confusion in her heart inevitably eased a little. She shook her head and said, "It's not a problem."
"I'm sorry for being rude to you before."
Ed paused, lowering his gaze before calmly apologizing. Shi Yu instantly understood what the word "disrespectful" meant, and she pursed her lips awkwardly. A surge of heat crept into her cheeks.
The soaked shirt stuck to his skin. The boy frowned and used his fingertips to pull open the sweaty collar a little in annoyance.
The heat on his body had not yet subsided. Ed swallowed and explained in a low voice: "I can't use suppressants, so I need that kind of help. As for what I promised you at noon, I will keep my promise.
"If you need anything in the future... remember to come to me."
The boy's voice was intermittent and slightly hoarse. Before he finished speaking, beautiful blue veins bulged on the back of his slender hands. Ed's face was pale, and he clenched his fists, put them between his lips, and coughed lightly.
Shi Yu's eyes trembled, and her eyes seemed to be soaked with wetness. She hesitated a little, although, although she knew it would be better to wait until Teacher Ed was better before speaking -
The young man panted slightly, his usual decorum and dignity completely gone. When the Omega's voice timidly reached him, his snow-like eyelashes fluttered, and his delicate face, drenched in sweat, inadvertently revealed a delicate sense of vulnerability.
"Teacher Ed." Shi Yu bit her lower lip, feeling an inexplicable rush of urgency. She asked vaguely, "Can you help me contact the students at the First Military Academy? Meet them, no, even a video call will do!"
The young man tried his best to control his breathing. He glanced at Shi Yu sideways, his quiet and indifferent deep emerald eyes reflecting the Omega's guilty and anxious expression.
He asked in a low voice: "...Who?"
The black hair softly fell on the girl's shoulders, slightly covering Shi Yu's red earlobes. The Omega lowered his head and replied sheepishly, "It's an important friend."
First Military Academy, an Alpha Military Academy student—
Ed frowned and thought, Alpha and her... are friends?
The young man's deep, clear, emerald eyes took in the small figure across from him, and the soft, sweet aroma of strawberries seemed to envelop him once again. Ed took in every expression on the other man's face. He stared at the Omega for a long moment, his brows slowly growing colder.
So even though her glands were offended at that time, the Omega whimpered and endured it. It turned out that this was the reason why she was submissive.
Ed looked away and said nothing for a long time.
When Shi Yu hesitated and anxiously tried to speak again, the young man lowered his eyes expressionlessly and replied in a low voice, "Okay, wait for me for two days."
——!!
Shi Yu quickly raised her head, and the tension and embarrassment she had just felt quickly turned into gratitude towards the young man. She felt relieved, clenched her palms which were oozing with sweat, and her soft and trembling voice sounded as if she was about to cry.
She said, "Thank you, Ed."
Knowing she might see them again, Shigure tried to control her emotions. Sniffing, she scurried over to the lab table. She carefully poured the porridge into a small bowl on the table, then walked over to Ed, carrying a clean spoon and the bowl filled with porridge.
"Eat, teacher? It's getting cold," Shi Yu said sullenly, tilting the spoon and bowl forward a little and handing them to the boy.
Ed uttered a slow, hoarse "hmm," but his arms still hung relaxedly at his sides, and he seemed a little absent-minded.
Shigure: "...Ed?"
His wrist felt a little sore as he stretched it forward, and Shi Yu called his neighbor in a confused voice. The young man with silver hair and gray eyes gasped for breath, then he lowered his eyes and came back to his senses. His gaze rested on Shi Yu's soft and white wrist for a moment, then he looked away quietly and silently.
Ed politely took the bowl and spoon that Shigure handed him and began to eat quietly.
As if she had thought of something, Shi Yu suddenly shuddered. She stepped back uncomfortably, letting out an inward "uh." The girl silently thanked her neighbor for not having mentioned... the fact that she had fed him without permission.
"Anything else, teacher?"
Shi Yu thought for a moment before softly saying, "If not, then I'll leave first."
Ed's health has improved a lot. Now that he can eat on his own, it seems there is no need for him to stay here any longer.
While this was a valid thought, Shigure then heard the crisp sound of a spoon hitting the bowl wall. The silver-haired boy put down the spoon with a slightly disheveled look, and calmly raised his emerald eyes, hidden beneath his snowy lashes.
Shi Yu glanced at him doubtfully. The corners of Ed's eyes were slightly reddened, a characteristic of passion. His slender, flexible chest, full of youthfulness, rose and fell with his panting.
The boy clenched the spoon handle with his slender fingers, and stared at Shi Yu in silence.
His throat grew unbearably dry, and anxiety clung to his emotions. His Omega instincts made every inch of his skin thirst for companionship and touch, but his pride forced him to purse his pale lips, his expression revealing a hint of stiff stubbornness.
"...There's one more thing." Ed turned his gaze away, his tired and pale eyes slightly closed.
"Okay, teacher, you say!"
Shi Yu waited patiently and caringly for her neighbor. After all, Ed had helped her a lot. If Shi Yu had the chance to help Ed, she would be very willing to do so.
"I won't change the password of the room." Ed leaned against the wall with his back slightly bent, like a cat that was forbearing but still maintained its outward reserve.
The young man lowered his voice and told her, "You can come over anytime these days."
…
Military academy, office area.
During the training time at the military academy, Xia Feng stood upright in front of the instructor's office. The girl Alpha rarely gave up her light training clothes. She changed into a dark green student military uniform today, with shiny black boots and a brand new belt buckle around Alpha's thin waist.
She lowered her eyes and waited for a moment. The mechanical door slowly opened and the platinum-haired officer Alex walked out with a smile.
"Okay, I've approved the leave." He waved his hand and tossed a black card to Xia Feng, who caught it without surprise. After mumbling a thank you, Alex added a smile and added, "Next time you ask for leave, remember to bring me along. It's okay if it's me, but if it's Rein, be careful he might give you two more extra training."
Xia Feng didn't care whether the officer was joking or not. She frowned slightly and answered seriously, "Yes, instructor."
...But if the marshal summons him again next time, Xia Feng thought indifferently, Wayne would probably not come in person.
Before going to the training ground to find Wayne, Xia Feng first returned to the dormitory.
After all, that person had always been more interested in fighting than anything else, and he himself was not the type to pay much attention to neatness and tidiness. Xia Feng didn't expect Wayne to have a set of military uniforms that she could find. So she went straight back to her dormitory to find Loren's uniform, then draped the neatly folded uniform over her arm and quickened her pace to the training ground.
When Xia Feng swiped his card to enter the special training ground where Wayne was, the red-haired Alpha was still fighting with a simulated monster on the stage. His green eyes were sinister, his muscles were pulsating, and the boy didn't shed a drop of sweat. He turned sideways and attacked the monster's half body with his knee, then raised his military boots with an expressionless face.
The ferocious-looking monster wailed weakly under the lion's throbbing beating, and it fell to the ground twitching, with Wayne breaking its ribs.
Xia Feng stood in the audience, his dark eyes calmly watching the simulated battle. Wayne had been isolated and trained in isolation since the training camp, and this was already the third week.
The red-haired Alpha rarely returned to the dormitory since the end of confinement, and this was the first time Xia Feng saw him up close in the past few weeks.
When the figure of the Warcraft turned into a data spot and disappeared, Wayne frowned impatiently, and his gloomy blue eyes noticed Xia Feng in the audience.
Xia Feng paused and dutifully reminded him, "There's still half an hour until the time agreed with the Marshal. It's time to set off."
The author has something to say:
A small theater:
Ed endured for two days, and when his condition improved, he asked his sister coldly and arrogantly, "Who do you want to contact in the military academy?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then bulabula called out a string of names, and then said shyly, "Please, Teacher Ed."
Ed: “…”
(There isn't enough vinegar in the vinegar jar to overturn it!)
