Chapter 94
Military academy students usually take some model training courses before coming into contact with mechas. This was a rare opportunity, so Shi Yu simply pulled Wayne over and checked all her models to see if there was anything wrong.
Later, when Shi Yu showed the model to Wayne again, he narrowed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said directly: "This idea is wrong, you can't do it."
Shigure:?
"I'll do it next time we meet."
Wayne turned his head away and picked up a towel to wipe the sweaty ends of his hair. Shi Yu tilted his head, trying to see what his expression was, but was glared back by the boy.
She shrank her head guiltily, but couldn't help laughing: "Okay!"
Time passed quickly. When Shi Yu felt a little hungry, she realized that it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning. She picked up the tablet and went downstairs while asking, "What are you having for lunch, Wayne? Are you at home or at school?"
Wayne gave her an unexpected answer. The boy said in a slightly hoarse voice, "On the spaceship, just eat something."
"Spaceship? Ah, that's because you just finished those things, right?"
Shi Yu came to the kitchen, placed the tablet on a stand next to the chopping board, and prepared something with his hands. He casually asked, "By the way, where have you been these past few months?"
Xia Feng had always kept Wayne's whereabouts secret. Shi Yu could probably guess from the other party's few words that Wayne might have gone out on a mission, but because she rarely saw Wayne in person, she had no chance to ask for details, and until now she still didn't understand what was going on.
"I went to the Black Eye Galaxy." Wayne ignored her confused look after hearing this and looked down at the pile of small bottles her men had taken out. "What are you doing?"
"Hey, you don't know!"
Shigure forgot to ask Wayne any more questions and proudly showed him the homemade sauce. "It's made with basil leaves. It's delicious when you sprinkle it on grilled meat! Even if it's burnt, it still tastes good!"
Her words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and she looked at Wayne and smiled secretly. Wayne seemed to have also remembered his performance in cooking during the training camp. He narrowed his green eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to the girl whose tail was almost up in the sky.
He frowned slightly, moved his wrists boredly, and kneaded the muscles on his forearms. Shi Yu looked at Wayne for a long time and didn't get any response, but she was not discouraged at all.
"It's a date, it's a date!" Shi Yu put her hands on her hips and reminded him seriously, "What are you doing? Pay attention to me!"
Wayne: “…Oh.”
He really just pulled the corner of his lips and gave her a perfunctory look.
Shi Yu turned back angrily and started cooking.
"By the way, Wayne," Shigure said as he took out the thawed meat, "I remember you were injured before."
Shi Yu glanced back as she spoke. Wayne was wearing a tank top from training. She could clearly see the scratches and sweat covering his exposed, tan skin. Wayne leaned back in his seat, closed his emerald eyes, and said briefly, "Yeah, it's healed now."
"How...how did it happen? Was the place you went to dangerous this time?"
Shi Yu actually wanted Wayne to tell her what he had been busy with in the past few months, but she was afraid of touching on anything confidential, so she asked very carefully and cryptically.
She had no intention of probing anything, she was just worried about him.
"Not really," the young man said calmly, as if he didn't take it too seriously. "It's a little troublesome occasionally."
"……All right."
Not knowing whether Wayne didn't want to answer or felt there was no need to answer, Shi Yu cut the meat silently. Suddenly, she felt that there was still an inexplicable sense of distance between her and Wayne, which made her a little depressed.
While waiting for the machine to grill the meat, Shi Yu ran out again with the tablet and showed Wayne the garden he designed.
"I usually sit here and rest." Shi Yu came to sit by the fountain, thought for a moment, and said to Wayne with embarrassment, "I remember when I was still designing the blueprints, Mr. Alex came, and I mistook him for Mr. Rein and asked him to get something."
"Alex?"
"Ah, he's Mr. Rain's colleague. You should know him, Wayne."
"Um."
The topic was dropped. Shigure waited for a moment, then hesitated and whispered, "The barbecue should be ready... I'll go back and check."
She ran quickly without making a sound, as if she wanted to escape from the speechless situation she and Wayne had fallen into, but when she returned to the kitchen, she realized that she had made a wrong judgment - it had not even been fifteen minutes since she set the time, and the meat was not yet ready, but she felt that half an hour had passed.
...Is seeing Wayne so unbearable?
Shi Yu stood in front of the desk, suddenly feeling a little confused.
A sour and stuffy feeling seemed to regurgitate her throat, and she called him softly, "Wayne..."
When the girl's faint and vague voice reached Alpha's ears, the virtual projection in front of him suddenly disappeared, and then the terminal displayed a page indicating that the other party had hung up the call. Wayne's blue eyes were condensed, and he sat up straight in an instant. Before he could press the button to continue the call, the phone on the other end had already called.
The holographic image reappeared before his eyes. Shi Yu lowered his head, concentrating on his toes, and explained, "I'm sorry, the signal was bad just now."
"Signal?"
Wayne looked straight at her. The Omega lowered his head again, as if he couldn't bear to look at her. He remained firm and said, "Look up, let me see."
“…”
Shi Yu stubbornly refused to listen to him.
The boy's thin lips were pursed tightly together. Rather than impatience, he seemed annoyed at not being able to come up with something mild, at least comforting, to say. He held the back of his neck with his hand, glancing at the girl with his emerald eyes several times before finally speaking in a slightly hoarse whisper, "What did you just ask? Say it again."
He seemed to have found the root of the problem, his brows furrowed, and he pondered how to answer.
Shi Yu was silent for a moment, then shook her head. She said, "It's okay." Then she took out her barbecue from the machine and sat down at the dining table as if nothing had happened.
Wayne didn't look away. He examined the other person's dry and slightly red eyes. After a while, he said, "Let's eat first."
"I was planning to eat first."
Shi Yu used a knife to cut open the slightly charred slices of meat and answered in a muffled voice.
"After dinner, the rest..."
Wayne's blue eyes were gloomy, and he paused for a rare moment. Alpha was not a gender with rich emotions, so it was very difficult for him to think while trying to say words to calm the other person's emotions - not to mention that it was not that he didn't hear clearly just now, and he didn't intend to hide it. It was just that Wayne thought it would be much more efficient to talk about some things in person.
The plan was suddenly brought forward. Wayne frowned and his face looked unhappy. He searched for the words in his mind awkwardly, but it was a different look in Shi Yu's eyes.
"You don't have to be like this, Wayne," Shi Yu took a deep breath, his voice a little dry, "Actually... I don't have anything to ask you, it's just..."
Isn't Wayne like this? Shigure comforted himself, convincing himself that there was nothing wrong with Wayne's behavior.
But the sour and aggrieved feeling could never dissipate. Shi Yu thought back to the training camp when he was so cold to her. It was because they had just met, and Wayne had actually been taking care of her in his own way - but they had been through so much between them, and he had even marked... her. Even so, could Wayne still treat her with this attitude?
Whether she was different or not, Shigure couldn't get the answer from Wayne's attitude.
She felt an indescribable loss.
"...I just wanted to hear your story," Shi Yu continued, his eyelashes trembling like dew-soaked, heavy butterfly wings. "You didn't tell me, and Xia Feng didn't tell me either. For such a long time, I was alone."
Is it true that she is the only one thinking about him alone?
Shi Yu had a lot of things weighing on her mind, such as the upcoming trial marriage, the conversation between her and Lei Yin that day, and Wayne, who had clearly said he wanted to meet her but was so cold and taciturn - she suddenly couldn't say any more. She could easily express her longing for Xia Feng, but now facing Wayne, whose feelings she couldn't confirm, she didn't dare to say any more.
"Forget it."
Shigure gave up.
The red-haired Alpha's brows remained furrowed. He listened in silence, arms folded, then raised his chin towards the dining table, indicating, "Not eating anymore?"
"I can't eat."
Shi Yu said with a blank expression, as if he had given up.
"..." Wayne's chest rose and fell, and he said in a low voice, "The Black Eye Galaxy I went to, there weren't many people there. It was all mines. The injury you mentioned was also caused there. It's healed now, there's nothing much to say."
Shi Yu quietly shifted his sitting position, sat sideways on the chair, and looked up at the handsome and sinister eyes of the young man. He had stood up at some point, his expression still indifferent and restrained.
"I went there because I made a deal with someone."
"Isn't it training?" She was a little confused and finally asked aloud.
"Maybe he thought it was a trial." Wayne sneered sarcastically. Shigure didn't know who "he" was, but judging from Wayne's contempt for this pronoun, he probably didn't like "him" very much.
"He has something in his hands, and I have to get it back." Wayne suppressed his emotions and said impatiently, "So I agreed."
"What is it? ...Sorry, if it's inconvenient to say, then don't bother to tell me."
When Shi Yu asked this question, she felt that this question had crossed the line. It was good enough for Wayne to tell her the reason why he went out, but Wayne had a thoughtful look on his face and didn't seem to react.
The already tall Alpha looked quite oppressive when he stood up. His arms and thin clothes were covered with smooth and well-proportioned muscles. Wayne lowered his green eyes and stared at her for a moment, then suddenly said, "Shigure."
He took a few steps forward and looked like he was walking towards her. Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat, her hands nervously resting on the back of the chair, and she looked at him with slightly moist eyes.
"It's my right to decide my own marriage."
"...Huh, what?" She stuttered, thinking she had misheard.
"What I want back," Wayne said, his handsome, gloomy, and slightly aggressive appearance making him look bad-tempered, but at this moment he obeyed her and repeated in a low voice, "is my right to marry."
“…”
"Due to family reasons, I didn't have this right six months ago."
"So now, you have it, right?"
The young man was very close to her, looking down at her. Shi Yu avoided his gaze somewhat helplessly. Her calves felt a little numb from the sideways sitting posture she maintained, but her heart seemed to be filled with hydrogen, as if it would jump out of her throat at the next moment.
"You..." she said, "because of what?"
"Shigure."
Shi Yu froze for a moment. Wayne seemed to have answered her, but also seemed to be calling her to concentrate on what he was going to say next.
Wayne's Adam's apple moved slightly, his brows furrowed, and his expression seemed slightly stiff, but his slightly hoarse voice was still fluent: "I was planning to wait until we meet to talk about it, but since you don't have time later, it doesn't matter if I say it now."
Shi Yu had never seen anyone who could speak so dully at such a moment. Her face flushed, and she gasped a few times to ease her mood before quickly interrupting him: "No!"
Wayne paused and gave him a questioning look.
"You just said you'd wait until we meet to talk about it, but now I've changed my mind. I want to listen to it after we meet." She pushed the chair and stood up. Maybe it was because she was shy, but even though Shi Yu didn't dare to look at him, her tone was a little stronger than before.
"You also need to rehearse well... and then, explain it to me in detail."
"otherwise……"
The girl's voice grew weaker.
They were very close to each other. If Wayne really stood next to her, at such a close distance, she could smell the familiar smell of chili peppers, clearly feel the heat coming from the boy's skin and blood, and...
"Lower, a little."
She tugged at the edge of his clothes, her voice as thin as a mosquito's.
Wayne looked down at her, thinking that she had something to say again, so he bent down without saying much. The next moment, the girl's black hair swayed in front of his eyes. The Omega jumped up like a nimble rabbit, and like a mimosa, after doing the bad thing, he wrapped himself up on the spot, his body trembling.
Not the cheek, not the corner of the eye, not any part that complies with etiquette. Wayne's face stiffened for a moment, and then he belatedly bent his knuckles and pressed them against his lips.
Only then did he truly reveal some of his youthful innocence. His brows relaxed and then tightened again, and his sinister green eyes no longer seemed to be sullen. Then he stood up and said, "Shi..."
"Don't say it, and don't call my name!"
Shi Yu felt shy and regretful, but since she had kissed Wayne, she knew what she had done, so she just continued, "Rehearse well, otherwise when the time comes..."
"When the time comes..."
Shi Yu blushed, looked away, and warned him softly, "This reward will be gone."
