The little boy was taken aback by Li Yuheng's sudden celebrity-style response. He hugged his toy monster, his mouth slightly open, clearly not understanding his strange older brother's thought process.
Shu Bai finally couldn't hold back and turned her face away, her shoulders trembling almost imperceptibly.
Seeing that the child didn't react, Li Yuheng stopped his playful act, squatted down, looked the little boy in the eye, and gave him a very deceptive smile: "Brother is not an omega, brother is an Alpha, just like him, a super powerful Alpha."
He also symbolically flexed his arm muscles.
The little boy looked at him, then turned to look at Shu Bai, who had a cool demeanor but was clearly more normal, and seemed even more confused. He muttered softly, "But... Daddy said only omegas cling to people and act cute like that..."
Li Yuheng chuckled and casually tossed his hair: "Then your father is wrong. The secret for an Alpha to win a wife is to be clingy and affectionate. The more affectionate you are, the more likely the Alpha is to succeed."
As soon as Li Yuheng finished speaking, before Shu Bai could react, a soft chuckle that couldn't be suppressed came from the side.
The two turned their heads at the same time and saw a beta auntie pushing a shopping cart passing by. She had obviously heard Li Yuheng's secrets to getting a wife as an Alpha, and she had a good-natured teasing smile on her face.
Li Yuheng, with skin as thick as an interstellar battleship's armor, raised his eyebrows and smiled at his aunt, as if he had received affirmation.
The little boy was even more confused. He was called away by his parents while holding his toys, and he kept looking back at his strange, spoiled Alpha brother.
Shu Bai sighed, grabbed Li Yuheng by the back of his collar, who was still smugly watching the little boy leave, and dragged him outside.
"Let's go, we've made a fool of ourselves."
Li Yuheng pretended to gasp, grabbed Shu Bai's wrist, and lowered his voice: "Shu Bai, that's not right of you. How can you say that? I'm an Alpha too. If I want to succeed, I have to be more affectionate with you."
He spoke with a self-righteous air mixed with an infuriating smugness, "I'm setting an example for you, showing you how to please me in the future."
Shu Bai paused, releasing his grip on Li Yuheng's collar.
He turned around and faced Li Yuheng.
He tilted his head slightly, his voice still in its usual indifferent tone, but the ending note was like the tip of a feather, scratching very lightly:
"demonstration?"
Li Yuheng straightened his collar, which had been pulled askew, raised an eyebrow at the words, and confidently opened his arms: "Of course! Come on, learn from me, first of all, your eyes need to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shu Bai suddenly stepped forward.
The distance between the two instantly closed, so close that Li Yuheng could clearly see his own slightly stunned reflection in Shu Bai's eyes, as well as the almost imperceptible curve of the other's lips.
Shu Bai raised his hand, his fingertips gently resting on Li Yuheng's arm as he was about to make a gesture, stopping him from doing so.
The fingertips were slightly cool, and the touch was very light, yet it felt like it carried a tiny electric current, causing Li Yuheng to inexplicably stop speaking.
Then, Shu Bai slightly raised his face, his always cold and clear black eyes looking at Li Yuheng. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his voice lowered and softened, carrying an almost pure doubt, yet inexplicably alluring:
"is that so?"
He paused, his fingertips tracing the line of Li Yuheng's arm very lightly, his gaze still locked on Li Yuheng's slightly widened eyes, and continued to ask in that cold yet soft tone:
"Brother Yuheng?"
"..."
The male protagonist CPU in Li Yuheng's mind, capable of processing billions of information per second and confident in handling any situation, seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning from the heavens without warning. With a buzz, the screen went black instantly, leaving only a blank space and billowing smoke.
Huh?! Ah?!
Li Yuheng opened his mouth and looked around.
I'm 100% sure this isn't in bed, but in a supermarket.
oh? ! !
Is this something that can be said outside of a highway?
Shu Bai watched as he froze instantly, his pupils dilating in shock, and the smile in her eyes was almost impossible to suppress.
He knew when to stop, withdrew his fingers, and returned to his usual calm expression, as if he hadn't been the one who had just made the startling remark.
He even raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly innocent, and said in a casual tone, "You've learned it? Looks like the secret isn't that difficult. I'm quite successful as an Alpha."
After Shu Bai finished speaking, she turned around and went to the cashier to pay, leaving Li Yuheng standing there frozen, his mind still endlessly replaying the words "Brother Yuheng".
A few seconds later, Li Yuheng suddenly snapped back to reality, chased after her, and grabbed the communicator that Shu Bai was scanning, his voice trembling: "...What did you just call me? Say it again!"
Shu Bai didn't even look up, slapping his hand away: "I won't say nice things a second time."
"How can this be considered a compliment? This is a nuclear weapon! This is illegal operation!" Li Yuheng pressed closer, lowering his voice, "Shu Xiaobai, you've gone astray! Who taught you this? Is this kind of destructive power something you can just use carelessly?!"
After paying, Shu Bai picked up the shopping bag and walked out, a very slight smile curving his lips: "Wasn't this the secret to Alphas getting wives personally demonstrated by some 'super strong Alpha'? I'm just putting what I learned on the spot."
Li Yuheng was speechless, feeling as if his heart was being scratched and stomped by cat claws, both itchy and numb.
He quickly caught up, snatched the bag from Shu Bai's hand, and said with a piercing gaze, "...Fine, you wait. Once we get back to the dorm, let's see who begs for mercy first!"
On the way back to the dormitory, Li Yuheng carried shopping bags, walked briskly, and kept talking.
"Shu Xiaobai, you're finished, I'm telling you. You've successfully caught the attention of this mighty A. Tonight's 'teaching debriefing' will be extended, with more practical elements."
Shu Bai looked straight ahead and said, "Oh. Remember to make an appointment in advance, my schedule is very full."
"What appointment? Me, Li Yuheng, I can get VIP access just by showing my face!"
Li Yuheng swung her shopping bag around with a clattering sound, her chin slightly raised, her confidence almost overflowing. "Not just VIP, but it has to be a private event, the kind with customized services."
Shu Bai finally turned her head and glanced at him.
It's happening again, it's happening again.
His tone was flat and emotionless: "VIP access is down, private booking service is suspended. We are closed today and will not be accepting any guests."
"Hey! This is a unilateral breach of contract!" Li Yuheng immediately accused him, reaching out to hook his finger. "The customer is king, don't you understand? A king is going to file a complaint right now!"
Shu Bai let him hook his finger without shaking it off, and only said indifferently, "The complaint mailbox is over there." He gestured with his chin toward the smart trash can by the roadside, "Remember to sort it, it's not recyclable."
Li Yuheng was momentarily speechless, then burst into laughter, his fingers tightening and squeezing through the gaps between his sparse white fingers, until they were intertwined: "No, I have to argue with the boss face to face. Otherwise, I'll... I'll just stay here and not leave!"
As he spoke, he actually made a move to sit down on a bench by the roadside.
Shu Bai stumbled from his grasp and stopped: "Li Yuheng, are you three years old?"
"How did you know? You're very smart. Successful A."
[After searching for a while, I found out I can change the chapter order, which is great. I was thinking of dividing the earlier chapters into volumes for each world, but the rules only allow adjustments to chapters posted in the last three days, so never mind.]
