Chapter 70
Shi Yu was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, watching the web projection and crunching potato chips as he watched.
It seemed that she was too focused on watching TV. When she reached into the bag of potato chips again, she didn't touch anything. However, she pinched the air out of habit and put her hand to her lips, almost biting herself.
Shigure: ...
When Rein came back, he saw Shigure staring at the bag of potato chips in a daze with a depressed look on his face.
"Shigure."
Thinking she was worried about the snacks she had finished, Rein thought for a moment and reminded her, "I remember there are still snacks in the refrigerator, but don't eat too much."
Shi Yu just saw Lei Yin coming back. She nodded, then said "hmm", and looked unhappy.
While Rain wasn't paying attention, she turned off the projector's video of Ricop about the Sturga family.
After dinner, Shi Yu returned to his room and summarized the information he had obtained.
Noah, Phil—Ever since she heard the name from Ed that day, Shi Yu had been feeling complicated, especially Noah… He had left a deep impression on her during the training camp.
As for Phil, Shi Yu also felt uncomfortable when she thought of the white-haired boy who spoke to her with a smile, but his curved eyes were full of cold scrutiny, looking at her as if she were a toy.
Both of them are Ed's older brothers.
Shi Yu was shocked when he learned that these two people were the two brothers that Ed mentioned.
She didn't dare tell Ed that she knew them. Fortunately, because of her posture at the time, her back was facing him, so Ed didn't notice anything unusual.
—That day, Ed seemed very tired. He held her in his arms and whispered slowly and hoarsely, "You might be quite compatible with those two people... Maybe it's inappropriate to say this, but when you enter the matching period, if you meet them, I hope you can reject them."
"Shigure, they're not right for you."
Shi Yu knew it without Ed saying it.
Although one of them is gentle and easygoing while the other is cheerful and lively, Shi Yu's intuition tells her that their true personalities are not what they appear on the surface.
"Okay, I'll remember that." After Shi Yu agreed obediently, he thought for a moment and asked, "Ed, I'm concerned about the smell on your body... Can you tell me what happened?"
Shi Yu realized something was wrong, but this was too ridiculous and she couldn't be sure whether Ed really intended to do this.
If, if Ed really became an Alpha—Shigure couldn't help but fantasize about it, then what would become of their relationship where they could hug each other freely, confide in each other, and even have physical contact as a common occurrence…?
"Wait a little longer."
Ed paused and responded.
The boy didn't seem to want to talk about it anymore. He buried his head in Shi Yu's neck and gently kissed the skin that had turned red and hot from being bullied.
"Wait a little longer...I'll tell you everything."
Because Ed specifically told her about this, Shi Yu learned about the Sturga family after she came back.
Although the current Federation is called a Federation, its system is very similar to the parliamentary constitutional monarchy of the world before Shigure, with hereditary rulers and a parliament, and the parliament has more power than the royal family.
The Sturga family holds immense influence within the Federation, controlling the vast majority of religious and cultural matters. The current head of the family, Ludwig, is a member of the Senate, and several generations ago, the Sturga family was once related to the imperial family.
...In fact, Shi Yu was a little confused about the size of Sturga. She felt dizzy when reading the popular science material, and she almost fast-forwarded through the endless explanations. However, she was very interested in reading the information about the head of the Sturga family.
Ludwig Sturgaard is the father of Ed and Noah Phil. Shi Yu was stunned when he saw him on TV, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. This Alpha male has the same silver hair and purple eyes as Noah, with a slender figure, gentle and handsome appearance, and an outstanding appearance.
As expected of the father of those three teenagers! Thinking of this, Shi Yu turned on his tablet again, quietly searched for Ludwig's photos and admired them, then stealthily closed the page.
Shi Yu now has more curiosity than fear towards the Sturga family, especially since she revealed her wish to Rain that time, she has become very optimistic about entering the matching period.
——Mr. Rain will help her!
Shi Yu never doubted the officer's promise that day.
…
It could be an illusion, but—
Shigure has been feeling a bit strange about Loren and Akatsuki lately.
When she went on the trip, because Lei Yin was always with her, she didn't talk to them except for the occasional text message. After the trip, Shi Yu returned to the nursing home that same day. The nursing home had a blocked signal and limited conditions, so she couldn't talk to them either.
It was three days after she came back before she contacted them again.
However, this time when they came back, the atmosphere of their conversation seemed to have become much more stiff than before, especially Loren. Shi Yu asked one question and he answered it with a flat voice, his wording was very mechanical and stiff, and he did not take the initiative to bring up the topic, making Shi Yu feel like he was talking to an AI.
"Shigure."
Before the call was about to end, the boy suddenly called her.
"Um, um... I'm still here. Is there anything else?"
After Shi Yu's voice fell, the other side suddenly fell into silence.
Although she didn't quite understand him, Shi Yu didn't want to hang up the phone casually... Loren's attitude today made her feel very subtle. If she didn't ask, she always felt that she would miss something important.
Just when she couldn't help but want to ask Loren again, she suddenly heard a soft whisper of persuasion. With a vibration, the phone seemed to be handed to someone. Then, Shi Yu heard Xiao's helpless and gentle question.
Shigure asked softly from the young man from the East Country.
"You really don't want to... meet us?"
On the first day of Shigure's trip to Xia Country, before Rona spoke to Rain again about her willingness to date, Loren and Kamhara Akatsuki actually received inquiries from the protection organization before Shigure.
Shi Yu was an Omega adopted from General Heinrich's nursing home, so the first person the protection organization consulted was Heinrich. The general did not object to Shi Yu going on a date, but after a little thought, he gave the names of several military academy students and told Rona and the others to choose from them.
The general thought this was what Shi Yu was looking forward to, so he went along with it and provided some help.
The superior agreed, and the next step was to seek the guardian's opinion. However, Rein Davis' attitude remained ambiguous, so Rona had no choice but to wait for Rein's reply while choosing a suitable date from the list provided by the general.
Those who were called back to the family for training were crossed out, those who requested leave to go home for recuperation and training were cancelled, and those with congenital physical defects were also not suitable. Therefore, after careful selection, Loren and Kamiya Akatsuki became the last two people left on the list.
When asked whether they were willing to spend a short time with Shigure to help her adapt to the subsequent matching period, Loren and Kamiya Akatsuki's answers were of course in the affirmative.
If she passed the guardian's test, she could come to meet them happily. Although she was a little nervous, the most they cared about was whether it would be inconvenient for her time. The two Alphas didn't think she would dislike or resist this matter.
However, in the waiting, anxiety and anticipation of the teenagers, what they got was an answer they had never expected.
Shigure refused.
She refused with tears and firmness.
…
...After hanging up the phone, Shi Yu realized how important it was to control his emotions and listen to what others said.
Come to think of it, Mr. Rona did say that day, "If you agree, I will be among the cadets you know..." and "Dating, adapting to the key words of the matching period."
But she was in a very bad mood at that time and was thinking too much, so she interrupted Rona before she finished listening.
What should I do? Is it still useful to contact Mr. Rona now?
Shi Yu hugged his knees, turned off the tablet with regret, and stared at Rona's profile picture in a daze.
Of course she wanted to meet Loren and Xiao! ...She couldn't accept that the matching period and whether or not to go on a date were two different things. She finally had this opportunity, but because of her...
She had just given an awkward explanation to Xiao and Loren. Although they were somewhat helpless, the first thing they did was to ask how her emotions were recovering. They all expressed their understanding of her, but Shi Yu felt very embarrassed.
Shi Yu thought about it and felt that it would be better to try again.
She pursed her lips, sent a message to Rona, then sighed while holding the tablet, and her headache started again.
Then, what will Mr. Rain say...?
The next day, while dining with Rain, Shigure hesitated but finally made up his mind.
"Mr. Rain."
The girl suddenly called him.
Lei Yin stopped eating, then raised his blue eyes and nodded slightly to show that he was listening.
"I have something I want to discuss with you. Before..." She closed her eyes embarrassedly, then looked at him with red earlobes and twinkling eyes.
"When we were traveling before, I misunderstood Mr. Rona's words. I was in a bad mood at that time, and my mind started to get confused when I thought too much, so I directly refused. Now I understand now."
"I'm sorry, but..."
"Sir, I actually want to go on a date with my friends and acquaintances. Is that okay?"
The author has something to say:
The people that Rona crossed off the list all came back to date me in the end, so don't worry~
Yes, I secretly put in an expected stock in this chapter. I and my relatives and friends thought of 800 generations of relatives, but there is no role for them in the main text hehehehe
