"People who attend the party have pretty rigid requirements about the relationships of the attendees."
Lu Taipan quickly regained his original composure and began to explain carefully to Su Liang.
"Generally speaking, there are only two types of people who attend parties together: partners and relatives."
The Lord of the Snake Cave glanced at the invitation and very frankly concealed the fact that as a hero who killed the Emperor of Canaan, he was completely free from any restrictions.
"If it wasn't a 'partner', I couldn't possibly tell the organizers that I was your uncle and that I was planning to bring my own juniors with me—"
Thinking of the scene where Su Liang called him Uncle Lu, Lu Taipan's eyes flickered.
But until Lu Taipan finished explaining, Su Liang did not respond.
The frail boy stared at an Alpha without saying a word, but this silence itself was an attitude.
The man who had never flinched or hesitated when he led the serpents to kill the Canaanite emperor was defeated very quickly under the clear gaze of the young man.
"I'm sorry," he apologized. "Actually, no matter who you are, you can come with me to redeem me, but I do hope that everyone at the party knows... that you are my partner."
As he spoke, Lu Taipan raised his hand and gently stroked Su Liang's cheek.
As he spoke, the deliberate disguise gradually faded from his face, leaving only the most sincere expression of an older man.
"You don't want to go to the party as a partner because you're scared, right?"
"Mr. Si, actually..."
"Before, you suffered a lot just by being in love with Lu Zhizhao, but now you are my partner. I am Lu Zhizhao's uncle, and I am older than you. In the future, more people will make disgusting remarks about you behind your back, and the rumors will probably completely drown out the Lu family. In the future, maybe when you walk on the street, anyone will come up to you and ask you how you seduced me..."
Having said this, Lu Taipan's voice suddenly became extremely serious and solemn.
"But I can assure you that none of these things will happen. I will not allow those things to happen again. Lu Zhizhao has no way to protect you, but I can."
"No one will ever hurt you again, and there won't be any rumors that will bother you. They can think about it in their hearts, but they will never, ever speak or write about it."
You don't have to be afraid anymore.
Lu Taipan said in his heart.
Su Liang and Lu Taipan looked at each other for a few seconds. After a long time, he suddenly sighed helplessly.
"I'm not afraid of those people's gossip at all, and I don't care what they say." The young man said softly, "I hesitated because that kind of banquet is broadcast live throughout, and my sister will definitely watch it. She will find out about my relationship with you. And I was just having a headache just now. If my sister finds out about this, how should I explain it to her?"
The boy seemed helpless.
"She didn't approve of me dating an Alpha before, especially, uh, someone from your Lu family who has a high status. You know Lu Zhizhao really caused me a lot of trouble. My sister saw it all and she's almost getting a stress disorder. Moreover, according to the standards my sister listed for me, my ideal partner should be a Beta from a well-off family, gentle and ordinary, and preferably a student of Xingchuan University or something like that."
Su Liang counted on his fingers and repeated Su Nuan's expectations to Lu Taipan.
Gentle personality.
The family is ordinary.
Don't have any hidden troubles.
Don't have anything to do with wealthy families.
honest.
Can take care of people.
…
After hearing those conditions, the Lord of the Snake Cave, who had seemed strong and cold before, froze in place.
At this time, Su Liang also raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Lu Taipan.
Lu Taipan's expression was stiff and his eyes were solemn. Su Liang felt that he could almost hear the buzzing of his brain as it worked rapidly.
Finally, he burst out laughing because of the older man's expression at that moment.
He laughed so hard that he fell into Lu Taipan's arms.
"But it doesn't matter. My sister loves me very much. When she finds out, I will try my best to say good things about you in front of him. I will say, well, I like the kind of Alpha who has a high status in the Lu family, is older than me, and is also very powerful. She will definitely not be able to do anything to me in the end."
The young man's eyes, curved because of his smile, seemed to be dotted with stars.
Seeing this, Lu Taipan couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to slow down the fire that was pent up in his heart.
Su Liang looked at the Alpha in front of him with satisfaction, who looked deflated. The depressed feeling of being confused and unable to fight back due to the other party's low-level tricks these days was somewhat relieved.
A faint sweet fragrance permeated between the two of them.
Su Liang had been a Beta for too long, so he didn't realize the subtle throbbing deep in his body now that he is an Omega.
It was a bit like being tipsy after being drunk. He was dizzy from the Alpha's pheromones and became particularly careless and...naughty that night.
Su Liang was even bold enough to raise his hand and hook Lu Taipan's neck, forcing him to lower his head.
Through the bite stopper, Su Liang deliberately left a false kiss.
"So you have to make me happier," he winked at Lu Taipan, "...Uncle Lu."
In the end, Lu Taipan couldn't hold back the hidden anger in his heart.
“Crack—”
It was the sound of metal breaking.
Su Liang opened his eyes wide in shock, watching Lu Taipan raise his hand and pull off the bite stopper that was supposed to be extra strong.
The smile on his face froze.
"Don't be afraid." Lu Taipan's expression was very gentle, an unusual kind of gentleness, but his eyes were brighter than ever.
Su Liang was pressed down on the sofa, unable to move at all. The semi-materialized snake of mental power slid past with pleasure and entangled his hands and feet.
"I will make you very... very happy."
The powerful and cold Alpha whispered in a hoarse voice into the boy's ear.
"Ah, look at this—"
In the Leia Flower cultivation room of the medical center, an observer rubbed his eyes and looked at the colorful alien plants in the glass.
"Hurry, hurry, record it! The process of the Laya plant fully maturing and turning from a flower into a fruit is so rare!"
After seeing clearly the changes taking place in the grow room, the observer raised his voice.
In fact, there was no need for him to issue any verbal commands. As early as the moment those alien plants changed, the intelligent system had already begun to record and observe the Leia plants on its own.
First, the flowers. The delicate and thin center of the flower began to ooze out a semi-viscous, semi-sticky, crystal liquid that emitted a strong sweet fragrance. After sampling and analysis, it was found that all of this liquid was the nectar of the Leia flower.
But this kind of nectar had never appeared before, and the amount secreted was not much at the beginning. But soon, the nectar began to be secreted in large quantities at an astonishing rate, and some of it even dripped directly along the petals onto the cultivation substrate.
After the period of large-scale nectar secretion, the originally delicate and thin simple little flowers also changed in shape.
Its calyx begins to swell, and the thin petals gradually turn into deep pink. The petals soaked with nectar begin to thicken as they change color. Soon, the ovules, similar to those of plants on Earth, swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The special sweet smell in the air became stronger and stronger. To some extent, as an alien plant, the fruiting process of the Leia flower was not much different from that of the plants on Earth, except that the speed was much faster. In the process of the ovule developing into a complete fruit, the exposed column tube continued to secrete sweet nectar from beginning to end.
Compared with the nectar secretion period, the nectar during this period is much thinner and contains fewer effective substances that can be used by the human body. This is probably because most of the nutrients are transported to the fruit itself.
After a few hours, the lush Laya flowers in the growing room had almost all transformed into light pink Laya fruits.
The fruits were even fuller and rounder than before, weighing down the slender branches so much that they drooped and trembled slightly.
Just by looking at the appearance and the nectar that occasionally seeps out from the gaps between the petals, you can imagine how juicy, sweet and soft these fruits will be when they are truly ripe.
but……
"It's the same as before. After the rapid fruiting, the fruit remains in an unripe state. This may be related to the fact that Master Su Liang did not succeed in fully differentiating."
The observer noted down the specific values of each fruit with some disappointment, then sighed and muttered.
"Now we can only hope that Master Su Liang can differentiate completely quickly, otherwise this research will be impossible to carry on--"
Another colleague couldn't help but sigh.
However, not long into their conversation, the two discovered that another rookie medical officer was standing blankly in front of the glass observation window of the cultivation room, looking at the Leia Flower fruit on the other side, his face inexplicably red.
"Hey, newbie! What are you still daydreaming about? Have you reviewed the lab records? You can't slack off in front of us, right? Seriously..."
The observer couldn't help but raise his voice and lecture.
The newcomer then came to his senses in a panic.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm not slacking off, I'm just thinking about something." He explained stutteringly.
"What are you thinking about? I see your face is red." A kind-hearted senior came out to smooth things over, but right after he finished speaking, the newcomer spoke honestly, "I was just thinking that the Leia flowers were cultivated by Master Su Liang's spiritual power, so there is a special spiritual induction between the two - but just now these flowers bore fruit without any signs."
The newcomer's eyes flickered, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I'm just wondering, what happened to Master Su Liang just now that caused such a large-scale result?"
Observer A: “…”
Observer B: “…”
The plant observation room fell into silence late at night.
After a long while, someone started to cough awkwardly.
"What are you thinking about, really! Get to work!"
"Yes, yes, yes, go to work, go to work..."
…
