Chapter 81
Ever since that training session, whether it was out of caution or just the bad nature of an Alpha, Simon never tried to control his attention towards his peers who had also experienced that incident.
Therefore, it was not difficult for him to find out that some of his peers were secretly in contact with the Omega in front of him.
The two people who had never had much in common deviated from their daily routine and avoided conversations in public. Unusual emotions appeared on those two tired faces. At first, Simon's emotions were very stable, and he responded to Kanhara and Loren with a sarcastic wait-and-see attitude. Even if they had contact, what could it change? Anyway, it was something that was destined not to be obtained.
But after the two of them took leave from school one after another, Simon realized something gloomily.
He logged into the military academy system to look up information and learned about the dating mechanism that Omegas have before entering the matching period. Simon White stayed in the database until very late that day. He knew very little about Omegas, which was not surprising. Even if he graduated successfully and got a job in the military as he wished, or even got a military rank later, he would not have the opportunity to match with an Omega with his physical condition.
What’s the point of knowing something that will never intersect in the future?
Simon pulled out his ID card and on the way back to the dormitory, he gritted his teeth and warned himself in his heart that since he had decided to choose this path, he could not fall into another trap.
You must always stay awake... This is the best choice.
But Simon knew very well that the name seemed to have a bewitching power. Although he never uttered those two short syllables, he woke up from his dreams more than once in the dead of night because of the unbearable heat, and then washed his sticky and ugly body in a depressed mood.
After returning to the dormitory that day, Simon tossed and turned until late at night, and it was not until three o'clock in the morning that he finally fell into a light sleep.
In his hazy consciousness, he frowned, his expression tense, and silently made up his mind to forget Shi Yu, forget that unfair and cruel Omega. But when it was five o'clock and the cadets got up for training, Simon woke up, and the first thing that came to his mind was still about "her".
It's easy to imagine that guy must be living a good life, he can even decide who to date.
After realizing this, his mood became increasingly unpredictable in the following days.
...Simon knew that he couldn't go on like this.
He couldn't allow himself to indulge in this hopeless fantasy day after day, which would not do any good for his future. Instead of harboring despicable desires day after day, waiting for someone to remember him like a pet in a window, it would be better to strike first.
She wasn't that into him, Simon knew, and it was that tiny possibility he was blocking. If Shi Yu didn't see him, he could understand, but he wouldn't accept it. He would transform those feelings that shamed him into resentment and hatred. Since he couldn't forget her no matter what, he might as well keep her in his heart for a long time.
And if you come to see him——
…Even so, don’t expect him to be grateful.
He would let the other party experience all the emotions that tormented him day and night, so that the Omega would not easily forget him, whether it was disgust, depression, or anything else. At least when she recalled him, there would be more than just the bland symbol of "Simon" in her mind.
She could never be so lovable and live such an easy life. In fact, he had always been...
Always, very—
…
The noisy sound dragged the memories into pieces. Simon narrowed his eyes slightly, and the girl's face seemed to shed the hazy fog and became extremely clear in front of him.
At this moment, Simon suddenly felt very bored.
The crowd, the sunshine, the crying of children, all of these made him inexplicably irritable, and he even temporarily forgot the purpose of coming here. When the girl's clear and moist eyes looked at him, it was like a ball of fire injected into his chest, making the passage from his heart to his throat become hot and dry.
“…”
"how?"
The boy's sharp eyes were fixed on the motionless Shi Yu, and his voice became increasingly hoarse, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Hearing Simon's unfriendly question, she pursed her lips and shook her head, showing neither hurt nor loss, as if she accepted the fact easily.
This realization made Simon even more irritated.
"I heard it, but... Simon, where are you going?"
After asking, Shi Yu seemed to feel rude and waved his hands hurriedly, "Sorry, it's okay not to answer. I'm just worried that someone will ask..."
After extracting information from the other party's words, Simon was silent for a moment and asked, "You want to go back?"
Shi Yu was bewildered: "Don't you have something to do?"
Then why is she still staying here...
"You can go find someone else," Simon said, suppressing the ups and downs of his voice, half-smiled, "Oh, is it because you don't have enough money? You can tell me, but only if you can make me happy."
Shigure: ...
What's going on? Isn't Simon about to leave? And why does he have to let her find someone else?
They were clearly out to have fun, but Simon's inexplicable interruption almost made Shi Yu's confusion materialize. She raised her head and said in confusion, "I don't need money, and I don't want to find anyone else to play with, Simon."
"Simon."
She called him again, her tone very soft, the ending tone gentle, and she said seriously, "I came out to date you."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have accepted this date, let alone come here."
The Alpha in front of him didn't say anything.
His golden eyes hidden under the brim of his hat looked at Shi Yu deeply, then he turned his head away as if he couldn't bear it anymore and coughed heavily a few times. His skinny fingers held the mask on his cheeks, his joints and veins were obviously protruding, as if he was using great strength to suppress something that was about to be coughed out from his chest and lungs.
Shi Yu was startled.
"Simon, what are you doing..." Just as he was about to step forward, the young man immediately stopped him hoarsely, "I'm not feeling well, don't come over."
Simon's appearance was so abnormal that Shi Yu had no choice but to stand still. After a while, Simon stopped coughing and closed his eyes with a slightly heavy breathing.
"Nothing else," the boy said, his eyelashes drooping like feathers. "Something's wrong with my body. I need to go to the hospital for a checkup."
"Hey, isn't there a hospital in the military academy?"
The girl's question was simple and sincere. Simon paused and reluctantly explained, "The school hospital...is useless. There are special medicines in hospitals outside."
Shi Yu suddenly realized and then helpfully suggested: "Then Simon, you can actually take sick leave. After all, health is the most important thing, and the school won't object."
The young man with gray hair and a body so thin that he could be called slender pulled the brim of his hat tightly, like a scarred and sensitive cat hiding in the dark. His overly keen perception of the outside world made his eyelids move slightly, and as expected, he saw Shi Yu's steps moving gently towards him.
He didn't refuse.
Not sure if it could be considered a response, Simon said "hmm" lightly with a nasal tone.
"Then just remember it next time. But it's a rare opportunity to see you, and I'm very happy." When Shi Yu realized that she couldn't see Simon's expression clearly even if she got closer, she stopped a meter away with a sense of distance. She clasped her hands together, her expression relaxed and happy: "Since you have something to do later, I'll go first..."
"Are we going to the hospital?"
“…Huh?”
"Aren't you going on a date with me?" The young man lowered his head. The increasingly hot sunlight above his head made him look a little listless, and his voice sounded hoarse and tired.
"So, are we going to the hospital?"
X.
Shi Yu sat awkwardly on the worn public bench, waiting for Simon to finish his treatment and come out of the room.
Looking around, the receptionist at the front desk looked sleepy, yawning and sliding the terminal, and then he laughed out loud at something he saw - the entire hospital, including the lobby and three treatment rooms, was estimated to be less than 300 square meters, and the layout could be taken in at a glance.
And the location was in the basement of a high-rise building. Uh, this was the hospital Simon brought her to.
There's always a suspicious vibe...
Shi Yu didn't expect her date with Simon to be like this, but it was a rare opportunity to meet him, and since Simon had said it, she would just accompany him!
After waiting boredly for a while, the wooden door creaked open and the old doctor slowly pushed it open. Seeing it was the doctor, Shi Yu quickly patted her skirt and stood up, then walked forward and asked, "Doctor, what's the situation?"
The kind old doctor smiled and said, "It's not over yet. The child needs medicine now. Are you free, little girl?"
"Ah, yes."
"Could you please help pass the tools? We have no one on duty today except the front desk, so I'm sorry, I have to trouble you."
The old doctor asked her so politely, Shi Yu thought about it and agreed, "No problem, doctor! I'll do it."
As soon as I entered the room, the first thing I smelled was a pungent smell of medicine.
Shi Yu followed the doctor with a tool tray in his hand, struggled to free one hand to close the door, and then looked around the room curiously.
The room was not big, and a white cotton curtain blocked her view, dimly casting the slender figure of the boy. Shi Yu blinked and lowered her eyes, inadvertently seeing a pile of boys' clothes placed slightly messily in front of the curtain.
"doctor."
Hearing the noise, Simon looked towards Shigure with a hint of awareness, "...Why let her in?"
"Alas, we're very short-staffed here, Simon. Let your friends come and help."
The old doctor explained with a smile as he put on gloves and squeezed out the ointment. Simon snorted and said noncommittally, "You really need to recruit some people."
They seem to have a pretty good relationship.
When the old doctor was about to lift the curtain, Simon inside suddenly said, "Wait."
The old doctor tugged at the curtain, but it didn't open. The boy inside seemed nervous and used too much force. Before the doctor could smile and joke, Simon lowered his voice and said quickly, "Tell her to turn around."
"What I can't see..."
Shi Yu, who was holding the plate and standing obediently, spoke weakly.
Simon: "That won't work either. Turn around."
The boy's tone was firm and resolute. Shi Yu exchanged a glance with the old doctor, who had a mischievous look on his face, and then turned away obediently.
...How can we pass the tools like this?
There's a curtain so you can't see anything, and Simon is a boy, so he's too shy!
After the quiet conversations in the room stopped, Shi Yu was so bored that she began to daydream. After a while, she suddenly heard a hoarse and painful groan in her ears.
He seemed to be trying his best to hold it in, the ending tone was not long, and the second half turned into a low gasp.
Does it hurt...?
Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought in confusion, what kind of medicine hurts so much that Simon is like this?
There was silence in the room for a moment, and suddenly the doctor let out a burst of laughter.
Shigure:?
Huh?! Could it be that she just said what she was thinking?
"Simon, you made your little friend worry." The old doctor laughed, but it did not slow down the speed of his men applying the ointment. Simon frowned, bit his pale and thin lips and made a light "hiss", but at least he did not let the embarrassing sound come out of his mouth again.
He clutched the bed sheet under his hands, and an abnormal blush appeared on Simon's pale cheeks, as if out of shame. He had never felt so at a loss and embarrassed.
"…Cover my ears tightly."
The boy's Adam's apple moved slightly, suppressing his emotions, and his voice was cold and indifferent, like an order.
Shi Yu blushed a little and complained quietly, "Simon, I have to serve the dishes..."
“…”
"It's okay, I can't hear you."
Forced by the situation, Shi Yu tried to let him deceive himself. The girl's voice was small, soft and childish. It was obviously a clumsy comfort, but it sounded like coquettishness.
"It won't hurt soon, Simon. Just bear with it for a while. After you bear it..." Shi Yu paused, then an idea came to him.
"I'll take you for ice cream!"
Simon: “…”
He buried his face in the pillow, his body trembling with anger. It wasn't because he felt his self-esteem had been trampled upon, or because he felt comforted by such childish things, but...
Simon fell silent! Maybe his comfort was effective?
Shi Yu held the plate, feeling confident that he was quite capable! However, before he could even begin to swell with pride, Simon's voice suddenly reached his ears.
The boy's tone was hoarse and indifferent. He said lightly, "Idiot."

Simon's life of self-strategy!
