Chapter 71
It was she who had rejected the proposal in a confused manner without listening to Rona, and it was she who was now apologizing many days late and trying to save the date opportunity.
The more Shi Yu thought about it, the more guilty he felt.
After her guilty voice fell, Lei Yin's icy blue eyes stared at her quietly for a while. At first, Shi Yu could still barely look at him, but later she lowered her head and clutched the corner of her clothes helplessly.
"Before, I thought you were afraid of this matter."
Rain narrated calmly.
Hearing this, Shi Yu lowered his head a little more in shame, and apologized in a tangled manner, "Sir, it's my fault."
"...I didn't finish listening to what Mr. Rona said."
Shi Yu took it for granted that it was something else and even hugged Rain and cried. In the situation at the time, the panic she showed just matched what Rona said - in Mr. Rain's eyes, she simply didn't want to date the cadets, and then she said she wanted to be with him forever.
Now that I think about it, it’s so embarrassing…
The officer glanced at the neatly arranged tableware on the girl's desk, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about how to speak to her.
"Let's eat first," he said without any emotion. "I'll think about it."
Shi Yu had no idea what Rein was thinking, and Rein never showed any desire to discuss the matter with her. She spent two days in agony.
During this period, Rona responded to her on the day she and Rain told him they wanted to go on a date. He understood and accepted Shi Yu's apology, and if she was willing now, he would still help her apply for a date.
However, Shi Yu was worried about Rein's indifferent attitude. She sighed and thought for a long time, then hesitantly told Rona that she had already told Rein about this matter, and she would ask Rona for help after he agreed.
On the third night, Rona sent a message. When the chat content popped up on the tablet, Shi Yu rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.
Rona told her that Officer Rain had already agreed, and that she needed to make some preparations according to the regulations, and then determine the time and place, and then she could submit the application with her date.
—Mr. Rein agreed?
In fact, Shi Yu had almost no illusions during these three days. Moreover, Shi Yu thought that Lei Yin would come to talk to her again... After all, her relationship with Lei Yin was no longer the same as when she was first adopted. She thought Lei Yin would care more about this matter.
Shi Yu couldn't explain what she felt in her heart. She was briefly confused for a while, and then convinced herself not to care about it anymore.
Loren and Xiao, in order to meet them as soon as possible, Shi Yu began to prepare wholeheartedly.
The first thing was choosing a date location! Since they could only choose from a dozen or so locations provided by the conservation organization, the range was very narrow, so Shi Yu quickly researched the information on each location. Before deciding, she called Loren to confirm.
"The aquarium... or maybe the amusement park? Ah, there's a fireworks show at the amusement park tonight, and it's getting great reviews online. What do you think, Loren?"
Shigure's fingertips circled and tapped on the search page of the tablet - it seemed that Xiao was recently called to prepare for a competition, so the date had to be postponed. Loren was free, so he became the first Alpha to date Shigure.
"... Either is fine." Loren said after a brief silence, "You decide."
Shi Yu actually didn't have much real feeling about "dating" and was very inexperienced. At the moment, she was more like planning a trip, wanting herself and her friends to have as much fun as possible.
From the past to the present, no matter in which world, the dating holy places are nothing more than the same few. After Shigure made the choice very casually... he suddenly thought of Loren's plain face, which always seemed a little mechanical.
Would he like both places?
Shi Yu inexplicably felt that places like aquariums and amusement parks didn't suit Loren's aura. She hesitantly flipped through the document again, and suddenly an idea lit up: "Loren, should we go to the mechanical engineering exhibition?"
"Okay," Loren's tone remained flat, but his answer was a little faster. Shi Yu felt that he had asked the right question!
"Are you interested in these?" The young man pushed up his glasses and asked calmly.
"Yeah, I like it very much! I've liked it for a long time!"
Shigure, a veteran Gundam enthusiast, clutched his tablet, suddenly looking forward to his date with Loren. "You must be familiar with all this, right, Loren? I'll leave it to you to explain it to me when the time comes!"
The location was thus decided without a doubt, and the date was set for three days later.
The most important thing has been solved. What remains are some small things that girls need to worry about themselves. There is still plenty of time - so Shi Yu began to worry about her wardrobe and some cosmetics purchased from Star Online.
Although it's a bit embarrassing, Shigure wants to dress up...
When her parents were not around, she lived with her grandmother. The old lady was very strict with her family education. Shi Yu was exposed to many things later than girls of the same age, including makeup.
Shi Yu blushed and practiced shyly according to the online tutorial. Finally, she did not apply the lipstick outside her lips. After putting down the lipstick, she pursed her lips in front of the mirror. The caramel reddish-brown color made her lips soft and shiny. Shi Yu covered her face in embarrassment, feeling a little ashamed, but she was reluctant to wipe off the lipstick.
By dinner time, Shigure had overcome his shyness.
"Sir," Shi Yu suddenly called out to Rein when they were about to finish their meal, "I..."
Lei Yin raised his eyes, wiped the corner of his lips with a napkin in a restrained and cold manner, and looked at the girl.
Their communication in recent days has been very normal, and there has been no rift caused by the last incident. After learning that Lei Yin agreed to her date, Shi Yu found an opportunity to thank Lei Yin. The other party nodded, reminded her of a few things to pay attention to, and then ended the topic.
Since she wanted to meet those students, Lei Yin took her wishes into consideration. This matter ended here and seemed to have no impact.
However, when the girl hesitated to speak, Lei Yin still thought for a moment that she wanted to change her mind. The officer looked at her with extremely focused blue eyes, waiting for the girl's voice.
Shi Yu was stared at silently by Lei Yin for a while, and seemed to feel embarrassed. She turned her head away slightly, and finally couldn't help but complain softly: "Sir..."
"What's up."
Rein said he was listening carefully.
Shigure: ...
Shi Yu pursed her lips quietly, feeling a little depressed. She had just tried her best to eat in small bites so that the color on her lips would not fall off... Lei Yin had been staring at her just now, and Shi Yu thought he would definitely notice!
"You...look at me again."
Shi Yu raised his face slightly, and the shyness he had just felt turned into helplessness because of Lei Yin's overly straightforward reaction. "Today... um, there are some changes in me."
She gave a subtle reminder, hoping Mr. Rain would notice.
With his excellent static observation ability, Lei Yin's eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze slowly fell on her lips. He realized what the change the girl was talking about was.
"How is it?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Shi Yu lowered her eyes and asked with a flushed face, "...Is it, okay?"
The Omega's profile was slender and soft, with slightly caramel brown lips pursed into a shy arc. Under the light, a soft gleam of water seemed to sway on the girl's plump lips. The Alpha's eyes instinctively tried to catch that crystal, but his tenacious reason pulled him back in time.
For some reason, Lei Yin found it difficult to continue paying attention to Shi Yu. He slightly shifted his gaze elsewhere and the officer carefully considered his words.
"It suits you very well," he said.
It was a perfectly accurate compliment, but Shi Yu had heard such comments from him the last time he went to the night market with Rein. Shi Yu was silent for a moment, then uttered a soft "hmm", and then lowered his head with a little disappointment...
The depression did not last for five seconds before Shi Yu heard the young man's voice, which was obviously a little stiff, but tried hard to control and soften.
"It's a very nice color," Rein paused, then added slowly and seriously, "It suits you very well."
Three days passed in a flash. On the day of her official date with Loren, Shi Yu got up very early. After washing and dressing up, Rain sent her to the entrance of the exhibition.
The rendezvous locations chosen by the protection organization were carefully selected and highly secure. Shi Yu hadn't seen Alpha anywhere since the hovercraft drove into the exhibition area. He did see a few cordons at the intersection leading to the exhibition...
Shi Yu felt that it was a bit exaggerated, but the protection organization seemed to attach great importance to her safety. When she arrived at the exhibition entrance, the first person Shi Yu saw was not Loren, but Rona.
He was responsible for bringing Shi Yu and Loren to meet, and following behind to assess the atmosphere and way of getting along between the two. He would leave only if there was nothing abnormal within half an hour.
...After hearing this, Shigure had no idea whether he should feel embarrassed or feel sorry for Mr. Rona.
When she was about to part with Rain, she thought for a moment, then called Rain and took out the necklace that could suppress odor from her collar - the one Rain gave her.
"I always wear it, sir!" Shi Yu held it up for Rein to see, smiled and waved at him, "Please rest assured and wait for me to return."
The officer noticed the girl's happy expression. He looked at her quietly for two seconds, then nodded and said, "Be safe. I'll wait for you at home."
Shi Yu followed Rona into the exhibition hall. She nervously adjusted the hem of her skirt with her fingers, walked through the door, the inspection table and the entryway, and then she finally saw Loren waiting for her at the central exhibition counter.
The young man was wearing a brand new and neat military uniform, his hair combed back neatly, revealing deep eyebrows and an expressionless face. The moment his eyes met, Shi Yu smiled naturally, happily ran past Rona, and looked up at him: "Loren! Long time no see!"
The girl looked very good today, with rosy and translucent cheeks, bright eyes, and the corners of her lips slightly raised in a lively and relaxed manner. The fragrance of the Omega was brought to her side by the wind along with the fluttering hem of her skirt.
Loren was about to answer, but when he looked down at her, he pushed his glasses up unnaturally and moved his Adam's apple a little stiffly.
"……haven't seen you for a long time."
Shi Yu smiled secretly and stared at Loren until the boy was reflected in his lenses, and he instinctively pushed them up again.
"Are you embarrassed, Loren?"
Although he always looked like he knew everything and was cold and omniscient, Shi Yu could sense that he was a little uneasy at the moment - she was actually very nervous too, but when she suddenly realized Loren's mood, Shi Yu instantly lost those emotions and even took the initiative and made a joke about Loren.
Loren: "...I just looked at the exhibits in each hall of the exhibition and briefly drew up a route. Come and take a look."
Ah, Loren is changing the subject!
Shigure blinked, her smile almost uncontrollable. She decided to be kind and let Loren go, moving closer to him to read the contents of the boy's notebook.
...In the hovercraft parked at the entrance of the exhibition, Lei Yin did not start the journey to the military academy for the time being. He turned on the terminal and started the projection. The image of the boy and girl huddled together intimately appeared in the officer's eyes.
This is the perspective Rona shared with him.
Although they had a good relationship, such a distance was not appropriate for two people on their first date. Rein was silent for a moment, then sent a reminder message to Rona.
Shi Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with Loren's line and was about to tell him, but suddenly he heard Rona cough awkwardly behind him.
"Well, I mean..." Rona glanced at the message that popped up on the terminal, and spoke silently under pressure.
"Keep your distance."
The author has something to say:
Hehehe, Rain was wrong after all!
But I want to share my love equally with everyone, so I don’t have time to care about him!
