When Li Yuheng looked up, he realized that the club president and several other team members were all smiling as they watched him interact with Shu Bai.
Chen Niansha joked with a smile, "Wow, you two have such a great relationship! Our mountaineering club will take this dose of PDA first!"
Wu Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Li and Shu look like a really good match."
Li Rui nodded in agreement: "Having similar interests and complementary personalities is indeed the ideal model for a partner."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuheng immediately put his arm around Shu Bai's shoulder, raised his chin, and said, "That's right! President, Wu Yue, and Li Rui, you all have good taste and know how to appreciate things! My Shu Bai and I are a match made in heaven, with both good looks and talent, a cosmic-level model AA couple! Our auras are perfectly matched, locked in, I'll swallow the key!"
His string of self-praises, delivered without a moment's pause, drew another round of laughter from the crowd.
Chen Niansha shook her head and laughed, "Alright, alright, we know you two are in a good relationship. If you keep showing off, we won't even need to walk this mountain road; we'll be full just from eating dog food."
Wu Yue burst out laughing: "Li, you always have such a unique way of speaking."
"To be honest, some people just don't understand the beauty of such top-of-the-line configurations and insist on clinging to those outdated ideas."
Gao Lang's already unpleasant expression darkened even further. He gripped the kettle tightly and stared intently at Shu Bai's profile.
He suddenly spoke curtly, his voice seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a sharp, critical tone:
"AA relationship? It goes against the laws of nature. Pheromones repel each other. What can it be but endless conflict and depletion? The novelty of the moment can never last! In the end, it will only harm both parties!"
These words were extremely impolite, even carrying a malicious curse.
The air froze instantly.
The smiles on the other team members' faces froze, and they looked at President Chen Niansha somewhat helplessly.
The playful smile on Li Yuheng's face vanished instantly, and his eyes turned cold.
He pulled Shu Bai behind him, stepped forward, and looked directly at Gao Lang: "Hey, Gao, have you taken the wrong medicine? Or did you get oxygen deprivation from climbing the mountain? We're having our own relationship, what's it to you? Do you need to be here giving orders and judging people's fates?"
Gao Lang, like a powder keg that had been ignited, suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Li Yuheng, his voice abruptly rising:
"I just can't stand it! Alphas with Alphas is a mistake! It's destined to end badly! You have no idea what this will bring! You're just playing with fire!"
His emotions were unusually agitated, his chest heaving violently, as if the relationship between Li Yuheng and Shu Bai was some heinous crime.
Li Yuheng laughed angrily: "Wrong? What's permitted in black and white by interstellar law becomes wrong in your eyes? You think you're more powerful than the Supreme Council? Whether we're good or bad, and what the outcome is, is it up to an outsider like you to make that judgment? Who do you think you are?"
"I..." Gao Lang was speechless, his face flushed red. His rage had nowhere to go, and it finally turned into a low growl, "You don't understand at all! It will be too late when it's too late to undo the damage!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around abruptly, as if looking at him again would break him. He almost staggered as he walked quickly toward the other side of the rock, away from the crowd, his back stiff and pained.
Chen Niansha quickly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright! Gao Lang! Watch your words! It's a personal choice, let's respect each other! Li Yuheng, you should also keep your mouth shut."
She walked quickly toward Gao Lang, trying to comfort him.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward and somber for a moment.
Wu Yue whispered to Li Rui, "Senior Gao Lang... seems to be reacting particularly strongly?"
Li Rui said in a low voice, "I heard he had an older brother... who was also an Alpha. He died in an accident last year, which seems to be related to an Alpha-Alpha relationship. He may have suffered some trauma."
Their conversation was very quiet, but Li Yuheng and Shu Bai, who were standing close together, could vaguely hear some of it.
Li Yuheng frowned, his anger subsided a little, but he was still very unhappy.
Does having psychological trauma give you the right to curse others at will?
Shu Bai's gaze passed over Li Yuheng's shoulder and landed on Gao Lang's tense and lonely back in the distance, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
The reason behind Gao Lang's pained and complicated look in his eyes was because of this.
He looks like Gao Lang's deceased brother.
Shu Bai subconsciously touched the lines of her jaw.
Li Yuheng noticed Shu Bai's distraction and movements, and immediately became alert. He reached out and turned Shu Bai's face towards him, saying with displeasure:
"Hey, hey, hey, where are you looking? Don't look! You can't look like anyone else! You are my Shubai, one of a kind, and you have absolutely nothing to do with so-and-so's brother."
Shu Bai withdrew her gaze and looked at Li Yuheng's possessive face. The subtle emotions that had arisen from Gao Lang's words suddenly dissipated.
He pulled Li Yuheng's hand down: "Yes. I'm yours."
He paused, then added, "You can only be mine. So, just mind your own business and stop thinking about useless things."
Li Yuheng frowned: "...Huh? What did you say? Say it again? I didn't hear you clearly, the wind was too loud!"
Shu Bai looked at Li Yuheng, who clearly understood everything but was deliberately being unreasonable, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes. He then said:
“I said, the wind is indeed a bit strong. Could you move closer and shield me from it?”
A glint of cunning flashed in Li Yuheng's eyes.
Strong winds? Perfect.
Instead of following Shu Bai's suggestion to shield himself from the wind, he suddenly took half a step back, covered his forehead with one hand, and pretended to be weak and about to collapse from the wind. His voice became shaky as he said, "Oh... this mountain wind... it's making me dizzy... my pheromones are even a little unstable..."
As he spoke, he secretly observed Shu Bai's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Shu Bai frowned almost imperceptibly, and subconsciously took a small step forward, as if trying to check on his condition, but Li Yuheng's performance was too exaggerated, and that little bit of doubt quickly overwhelmed his instinct.
Just as Shu Bai paused, Li Yuheng seemed to suddenly lose his balance and slumped towards Shu Bai.
"Sigh, my home in Shubai is still the safest place, the place that gives me the most sense of security..."
Shu Bai stared speechlessly at Li Yuheng, who was leaning almost his entire weight against him. He found Li Yuheng's clumsy yet stubborn performance slightly amusing and was about to expose him—
Suddenly, his palm felt empty.
With lightning speed, Li Yuheng precisely snatched the communicator from his hand, his movements fluid and effortless.
Moreover, the weak, swaying appearance from just moments ago vanished without a trace.
He nimbly jumped back two steps, creating a safe distance, his face beaming with a triumphant, radiant, and irritating smile.
"Hehe, got it!"
Li Yuheng held the communicator high, like displaying a trophy.
