Chapter 172 Asking for advice "No one likes someone who doesn't respect himself...
[Shen Qingzhu: What does Mr. Bu want to talk to me about? ]
Early in the morning, Bu Tianyi, who had not slept all night, finally received a reply from Shen Qingzhu.
Because he hadn't been able to get through to Shen Qingzhu last night, Bu Tianyi was still a little angry and wanted to leave Shen Qingzhu alone for a while.
But considering that he still needed help from the other party, Bu Tianyi quickly replied, "I have something I want to ask Mr. Shen, is it convenient for us to meet?"
This is a private matter, and it is most likely related to Zhen Miao.
Shen Qingzhu glanced at his schedule, [I am free from 4 to 5 this evening. ]
【Bu Tianyi: OK, then we'll meet at 4 o'clock.】
…
In the evening, Shen Qingzhu arrived at the agreed coffee shop on time.
After entering the box, I found that Bu Tianyi had already arrived and the coffee in the cup was almost empty.
After taking a seat, Shen Qingzhu ordered a pot of flower tea first, and then looked up at Bu Tianyi, "I wonder what Mr. Bu wants to talk to me about?"
Bu Tianyi looked at him carefully.
It is May, the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, it is the most comfortable season of the year.
Most young Alphas are full of energy and like to show off their strong physique in front of Omegas and Betas, so many of them wear short-sleeved, short-sleeved or even sleeveless tops.
Shen Qingzhu is completely different.
Today he wore a light straw-colored full-sleeved pullover and off-white trousers, which was a rare sight for him. His long scorpion-tail hair hung down on one side of his body, and he wore a cute cat-ear beret on top.
He had a gentle and pretty face that was hard to tell from an Omega, and today he was wearing such an outfit. Even though it was not the first time Bu Tianyi saw him, he was still stunned, thinking that the person sitting in front of him was a soft and pretty Omega beauty.
Bu Tianyi: ...
After being called back to his senses by Shen Qingzhu, Bu Tianyi tried to hold back for a long time, but couldn't help asking Shen Qingzhu incredulously, "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Qingzhu: "Hmm?"
Seeing Bu Tianyi staring at the cat-ear hat on his head, Shen Qingzhu, who had been watched all day, calmly took off the hat, put it beside him, and said with a smile, "Mingxue likes it."
To be exact, the clothes Shen Qingzhu wore today were personally selected by Ji Mingxue from head to toe.
After he put on the cat-ear hat in the morning, Ji Mingxue was still so excited that she pressed him into the cloakroom and kissed him for a long time. It can be seen that Ji Mingxue really likes him.
But Bu Tianyi couldn't understand it at all, because, "You are an Alpha!"
How can an Alpha dress up like this? They're not Omega or Beta!
Also, if he remembered correctly, Shen Qingzhu had just ordered a pot of floral tea.
Only Omegas and Betas like that kind of sweet stuff!
Shen Qingzhu is a 3S Alpha with such a high genetic level! The best of the best! No matter what he chooses, it's all O, he is unworthy of being an Alpha!
Just as he was staring at Shen Qingzhu in disbelief, the service robot suddenly knocked on the door and came in to bring scented tea.
After placing the exquisite crystal teapot and teacup next to Shen Qingzhu, the robot was about to leave when it heard Shen Qingzhu say "thank you" in a gentle voice.
Two happy little flowers suddenly appeared on the robot's display screen. It took out two strawberry candies from its belly and gave them to Shen Qingzhu with joy.
After Shen Qingzhu took it and expressed his gratitude again, the robot left the box happily.
Bu Tianyi watched Shen Qingzhu coax the robot into a rapture:...
However, Shen Qingzhu does have something.
In addition to the teapot, the scented tea also comes with two crystal cups.
After pouring himself a cup of rich and fragrant scented tea, Shen Qingzhu asked Bu Tianyi, "Would you like a cup, too, Mr. Bu?"
Bu Tianyi frowned immediately, pursed his lips and said, "No need."
Although he didn't emphasize that he didn't drink scented tea because he was an Alpha, he did not hide the disgust on his face.
Shen Qingzhu didn't care when she saw this. She just took a sip of the sweet flower tea and asked again, "What can I do for you, Mr. Bu?"
Bu Tianyi then remembered the purpose of meeting Shen Qingzhu today. He froze slightly, his eyes full of confusion and struggle.
After a long while, he managed to utter, "...I heard that you and Ji Mingxue have a very good relationship."
Shen Qingzhu:?
Seeing Shen Qingzhu's surprised face and a strange look in his eyes, as if he regarded Bu Tianyi as a weirdo who was snooping into his privacy, Bu Tianyi made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Ji Mingxue is the only 3S-level Omega in the empire. He has a distinguished family background and a stunning appearance. He is also so strong. He usually treats all Alphas harshly, but he only has a favorable eye for you!"
"Many Omegas in the empire also like you very much and regard you as their ideal mate...including Zhen Miao."
Bu Tianyi spoke the last four words very vaguely. If Shen Qingzhu didn't have good hearing, it would be impossible for him to hear them clearly.
Bu Tianyi seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly raised his dark eyes and continued solemnly and slightly embarrassedly, "So, I want to ask you... how can I become as popular as you and become popular among Omegas."
Shen Qingzhu: ...
The last time Shen Qingzhu was so speechless was the last time.
If he hadn't put down the teacup, he might have choked.
Shen Qingzhu glanced at the light brain. It was almost time for him to make dinner, so he just said frankly, "What Mr. Bu really wants to ask is how to be liked by Zhen Miao, right?"
After Bu Tianyi left the hospital yesterday, perhaps because he felt embarrassed, or perhaps because he was afraid of being misunderstood by him and Ji Mingxue, Zhen Miaozeng roughly told Shen Qingzhu and the others that he and Bu Tianyi were once fiancés.
However, because Zhen Miao disagreed, their engagement was officially cancelled during this year's winter vacation.
In other words, there is no ambiguous relationship between the two now.
But Bu Tianyi still said yesterday that he was Zhen Miao's fiancé.
Looking at how Bu Tianyi rushed to the hospital yesterday and insisted on seeing Zhen Miao, how could Shen Qingzhu not see that Bu Tianyi cared about Zhen Miao?
Because of this, as soon as he saw Bu Tianyi's message this morning, Shen Qingzhu had roughly guessed the purpose of Bu Tianyi's appointment with him.
I just didn't expect that Bu Tianyi would be so awkward. After meeting, he hesitated for a long time without getting to the point. Shen Qingzhu, who was in a hurry, simply pointed it out for him.
When Shen Qingzhu pointed out his real purpose, Bu Tianyi immediately became angry and wanted to deny it immediately.
But when he saw Shen Qingzhu's warm and transparent eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Bu Tianyi's heart sank and he suddenly couldn't say the word "no".
After a long silence, he lowered his eyes and responded with difficulty.
Seeing how reluctant he was, Shen Qingzhu was speechless again.
To be honest, Shen Qingzhu actually doesn't like to get involved in other people's emotional affairs, especially those between AOs, because according to his experience, more than 90% of these are due to Alphas, and most of the Alphas in the empire have no self-awareness.
But Zhen Miao is his friend.
Shen Qingzhu could clearly see the regret in Zhen Miao's eyes when she talked about her relationship with Bu Tianyi yesterday.
Because of this, Shen Qingzhu came to see Bu Tianyi today, wanting to hear what he had to say.
So Bu Tianyi is just like this?
Ruhua's eyebrows slightly raised, Shen Qingzhu did not continue with the previous words, but suddenly asked, "Mr. Bu likes Zhen Miao?"
Bu Tianyi's face flashed with embarrassment, and he immediately denied it, "What nonsense?! How could I possibly like him?!"
Shen Qingzhu smiled and rolled her eyes, "If you don't like her, then why do you want Zhen Miao to like you?"
Bu Tianyi pursed her lips, "...It doesn't matter whether I like him or not, as long as he fulfills the marriage agreement between the two families and marries me after graduation."
Shen Qingzhu: ...
Although it was not the first time that he had seen such an Alpha, nor was it the first time that he had heard such words from them, at this moment, Shen Qingzhu still felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Because of displeasure, Shen Qingzhu didn't bother to be polite anymore and said directly, "Yesterday Zhen Miao told me that you had cancelled your engagement during the winter vacation. He doesn't like you and will not marry you."
Bu Tianyi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "...But he has been temporarily marked by me many times. Who else can he marry besides me?!"
A layer of frost instantly formed on the warm green eyes. Shen Qingzhu put down the teacup with a "click" and suddenly leaned back in the chair behind him.
The room suddenly became cold.
Even though Bu Tianyi was dressed in a suit and tie as usual, without revealing too much skin, he still shuddered slightly for a moment and looked at Shen Qingzhu reflexively.
Upon seeing this, Bu Tianyi discovered that Shen Qingzhu, who was usually good-tempered, had a rare cold expression on his face, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes as he looked at him.
Bu Tianyi's heart trembled and his pupils dilated slightly. He suddenly felt that the expression on Shen Qingzhu's face at this moment was familiar.
It was very similar to the expression he often saw on Zhen Miao's face recently.
“…Don’t look at me like that.”
The words were out of my mouth before I realized what I had said.
My heart suddenly became confused.
In the chaos, Bu Tianyi whispered to Shen Qingzhu, "What were you thinking about just now? Why... were you looking at me like that?"
"Zhen Miao...Zhen Miao also looked at me like that."
Seeing that Bu Tianyi had a confused look on his face and really didn't understand, Shen Qingzhu took a deep breath and simply let him be the one who understood.
Bu Tianyi soon heard his calm voice, "Mr. Bu, it is already 1067. Even if it is a lifelong mark, it is not completely impossible to wash it off, let alone a temporary mark."
"Also, the current Omega inhibitors are very mature and have almost no side effects. Even without an Alpha during the fever period, the Omega can still get through it safely and smoothly."
"So, why do you think that an Omega with whom you have a temporary marking relationship will definitely marry you and become your partner?"
Zhen Miao actually said this to Bu Tianyi, but, "But he has been temporarily marked by me many times. Apart from me, which Alpha would want him?!"
Shen Qingzhu: ...
[Shen Qingzhu: Bamboo shoots, I want to beat him.]
[Shunjian: Although Mr. Bu's words are indeed very worthy of a beating, but... okay, I won't persuade you, I will help you erase the surveillance, Master, you can be beaten without worry! ]
[Shen Qingzhu: …]
[Shen Qingzhu: Forget it.]
To put it bluntly, this matter actually has nothing to do with him. There are Alphas like Bu Tianyi everywhere in the empire, and it is impossible for Shen Qingzhu to beat them all one by one.
But it must be said that since Shen Qingzhu came to this world, it has been a long time since she was danced on the face by such an Alpha.
He looked at Bu Tianyi scrutinizingly.
Shen Qingzhu originally thought that although everything he did might not be able to change the ideas of the older ABOs, it could at least allow the young Alphas, Betas, and Omegas to have their own thoughts on traditional concepts.
Judging from the current situation, perhaps because of Ji Mingxue's two-pronged approach, among the three genders, the Omega group has now shown many voices expressing their true demands.
Even among Betas, many now carry inhibition rings and inhibitors with them, buy chewing gum for their own safety, and are very active in getting antiviral vaccines.
On the other hand, in the Alpha group, except for a few young Alphas who now wear inhibition rings when going out and imitate many of Shen Qingzhu's behavioral patterns because they like him, other Alphas, such as the equally young 21-year-old Bu Tianyi, still have deeply rooted bad habits inherited from the Alpha group.
But Shen Qingzhu knew that this bad habit did not appear after Bu Tianyi's secondary differentiation.
It has existed in the empire for thousands of years, taking root in the minds and flesh of everyone, making everyone regard it as normal that "Alphas are born superior, Betas are born mediocre, and Omegas need to be raised."
This is not Bu Tianyi's own problem.
It is a problem for the whole society and even the entire empire.
After thinking about this, Shen Qingzhu's anger gradually subsided, and he was able to look at Bu Tianyi and what he said objectively and calmly.
He first answered Bu Tianyi's question, "As long as the Omega himself doesn't care, the impact of the temporary mark is actually minimal and will not affect his subsequent mate selection."
"Also," Shen Qingzhu interrupted Bu Tianyi when he saw that he wanted to say something else, "If an Omega has the ability to make money and support himself financially, marriage may not be a necessity for them."
"And Zhen Miao happens to be such an Omega."
"So, if he doesn't like you, there is no reason for him to form a partnership with you."
“That’s not hard to understand.”
Bu Tianyi: ...
Intellectually speaking, it is not difficult to understand.
But Bu Tianyi still felt, "How could there be an Omega in this world who doesn't get married?"
Shen Qingzhu felt a little fed up and felt that this person was unyielding.
"I've made it very clear. If you still think so, I don't have that much time."
After saying that, Shen Qingzhu picked up his hat and prepared to leave.
Bu Tianyi quickly stopped him, "Don't go yet! I...I actually understand what you mean!"
After saying that, seeing Shen Qingzhu looking at him impatiently, Bu Tianyi's momentum suddenly became weaker. He rubbed his eyebrows irritably and whispered, "Shen Qingzhu, please help me."
"I really... don't want to lose Zhen Miao."
Seeing that he finally stopped being so reserved and his attitude was quite sincere, Shen Qingzhu put down his hat and asked him a few questions seriously.
"I'll ask you one last time, do you like Zhen Miao?"
Although Bu Tianyi was still a little embarrassed this time, she did not evade it anymore. She pursed her lips and said, "...I like it."
"I like him."
Shen Qingzhu nodded, "Second question, can you accept that Zhen Miao will never like you and will never be with you in the future?"
Bu Tianyi immediately said, "I don't accept it!"
Shen Qingzhu laughed and said sarcastically, "Are you going to force him?"
Bu Tianyi's eyes wandered.
Shen Qingzhu said calmly, "If you really do that, Zhen Miao might hate you for the rest of her life."
An unspeakable pain suddenly welled up in Bu Tianyi's eyes.
But he still insisted, "But he is the person I like, I want to be with him, I want him to be my partner."
Shen Qingzhu looked at him calmly, and suddenly said, "I think I know why Zhen Miao doesn't like you."
Bu Tianyi was startled and asked him with burning eyes, "Why?"
Shen Qingzhu calmly pointed out, "Because you only want to satisfy your own needs and don't care about Zhen Miao's thoughts. You don't respect him as a person."
"Even I can see that your condescending attitude towards Zhen Miao will only make Zhen Miao feel more suffocated when facing you."
“No one likes a person who doesn’t respect himself.”
"Unless you're a masochist."
"So isn't it natural that Zhen Miao doesn't like you and doesn't want to be with you?"
