Chapter 186 Gift Shen Qingzhu is delighted
This is not the first time someone has offered Shen Qingzhu a private planet.
As early as when he first entered school and attended the "Luming Banquet", a certain army commander had offered similar conditions in order to recruit Shen Qingzhu, a 3S-level Alpha, into the military.
Shen Qingzhu was not tempted at that time, so it is certainly impossible for him to accept such a valuable gift now.
"No merit, no reward," he returned the gift to Principal Xue Guanlan again, and said sincerely, "If you are here because of Xue Congjia, then I can't accept it. After all, Xue Congjia's treatment costs are not low."
Especially high-level Omega inhibitors.
Because the quantity is too scarce at present, the price of a high-level inhibitor is set at one million.
Even though Xue Congjia only used one, Shen Qingzhu still made a lot of money.
So in Shen Qingzhu's opinion, he and Xue Congjia had already settled the payment, and the medical expenses had been paid in the hospital. He had no reason to accept this planet from Principal Xue Guanlan.
Seeing Shen Qingzhu's determined look, indicating that he really didn't want the planet, Principal Xue Guanlan didn't want to displease him, so he took the "key" back with regret, and quickly took out another gift box, saying jokingly, "Fortunately, I made two preparations."
This gift was definitely not that valuable, but just in case, Shen Qingzhu asked again, "What is this?"
Xue Guanlan motioned him to open the gift box, "It's a brooch-shaped protective shield that can withstand twenty attacks from light energy particle cannons."
At this point, Xue Guanlan paused, "After all, you have a special identity. Although the Academy Star is much safer than the outside world, it is not completely free of danger."
For example, Shen Qingzhu was attacked during the final exam last semester.
Although it was just a false alarm, it was enough to prove that the Academy Star was not an airtight iron barrel.
Shen Qingzhu obviously also thought of that attack.
He looked at the coin-sized golden sun-shaped brooch in the black velvet gift box, and suddenly felt that this brooch was very suitable for Ji Mingxue.
This protective shield is obviously a military product. It is also very rare and precious. However, its value is obviously far lower than that of a private planet, so it doesn't feel hot to Shen Qingzhu's hand when he holds it.
Shen Qingzhu accepted the gift generously and thanked Principal Xue Guanlan with a smile.
After a few more pleasantries, Shen Qingzhu noticed that Xue Guanlan looked hesitant, as if he had something to hide. She asked sympathetically, "Principal Xue, do you have anything else to say?"
Xue Guanlan quickly glanced around and made sure that no one was paying too much attention to this place. Then he rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "There is indeed something I want to ask Doctor Shen."
Shen Qingzhu:?
Xue Guanlan was much older than him, almost the same generation as his father. What could he ask him for advice?
"Is it about Xue Congjia?" This was the only thing Shen Qingzhu could think of.
Principal Xue Guanlan shook his head slightly, his stern face seemed a little embarrassed, and his voice was even lowered, "I watched the vlogs you posted a few days ago, and found that you and Ji Mingxue have a very good relationship. There is no barrier at all when you are together in private, which is different from all the AO couples in the empire."
Shen Qingzhu: ...
The image of Vice Principal Lin Qin immediately flashed through Shen Qingzhu's mind, and he suddenly understood something.
But he still nodded and said with a smile, "Mingxue and I do have a good relationship."
Xue Guanlan stopped talking.
After holding it in for a long while, he managed to utter, "...Ji Mingxue is an Omega with a strong personality."
Shen Qingzhu blinked her eyes and could easily see that this topic was obviously not easy for Xue Guanlan to talk about.
When treating Xue Congjia before, because Xue Guanlan and Lin Qin often went to the hospital to visit and accompany him, Shen Qingzhu had frequent contact with the two and had seen them together many times when they were alone.
To be honest, if people hadn't known that they were Xue Congjia's biological mothers, just by looking at their cold expressions, almost no one would have been able to tell that they were once a couple.
Because Lin Qin had taught Shen Qingzhu martial arts in the original world, Shen Qingzhu knew her quite well. He knew that Lin Qin was strong-willed, cold and taciturn, and not as soft and considerate as many Omegas.
And it is obvious that Principal Xue Guanlan, who is a high-level Alpha and has held a high position for many years, is obviously not a soft-hearted person.
Xue Guanlan obviously didn't know how to mention her relationship with Lin Qin. If she was allowed to express herself freely, she might not be able to express her true wishes after the birthday party.
Shen Qingzhu simply pushed her and said gently, "Vice Principal Lin Qin is also very strong."
Xue Guanlan froze for a moment, then immediately realized that Shen Qingzhu had seen through what she was thinking. She felt embarrassed and relieved at the same time.
Xue Guanlan stared at Shen Qingzhu for a moment with his hawk-like black eyes, and finally let out a long breath, and said with a little frustration, "Yes, she is indeed very tough, and an indestructible Omega."
"There is almost nothing in this world that can defeat her."
Once you start talking, it doesn't seem so difficult to say the next thing.
Xue Guanlan whispered, "...I want to pursue her again."
“But there’s no way to start.”
"When we were together in the past, even when our relationship was at its best, it was never like you and Ji Mingxue in the video, like that..."
Xue Guanlan couldn't think of how to describe it.
Because in Shen Qingzhu's vlog, when he and Ji Mingxue get along, one can hardly feel the gender difference, they are so harmonious that there is no distinction between superior and inferior, strong and weak.
That kind of loving and rounded feeling without any edges made Xue Guanlan admire and yearn for it from the bottom of his heart.
Because of this, Xue Guanlan shamelessly asked Shen Qingzhu, who was much younger than her daughter, for advice, wanting to know how to have a close relationship like the one between Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue.
Shen Qingzhu: ...
Although he had expected this, Shen Qingzhu still felt a little overwhelmed when he heard Principal Xue Guanlan asking him how to get along with Vice Principal Lin Qin.
With Bu Tianyi in front and Principal Xue Guanlan behind, does he really look like an expert in love?
Shen Qingzhu looked cool and energetic.
And, “…this is actually my first time in love, too.”
He said to Xue Guanlan sheepishly, "So I don't know how to fall in love, I just get along with Mingxue normally."
If he was really asked to summarize the methodology of falling in love, then Principal Xue Guanlan had found the wrong person.
Xue Guanlan obviously knew that Shen Qingzhu was very immature in relationships. After all, Shen Qingzhu would only be 19 years old tomorrow, so she didn't expect Shen Qingzhu to come up with a mature love tutorial all of a sudden. She just humbly lowered her attitude and said, "It doesn't matter. Just tell me how you and Ji Mingxue get along on a daily basis."
Since she had said this, Shen Qingzhu naturally couldn't refuse.
Shen Qingzhu carefully recalled the process of his relationship with Ji Mingxue, "First of all, I have to clearly tell him that I like him very much."
Xue Guanlan stiffened slightly.
After Shen Qingzhu noticed it, he quickly remembered that neither this person nor Vice Principal Lin Qin seemed to have mouths.
Shen Qingzhu: ...
Didn't these two never even say "I like" to each other when they were dating?!
Recalling that before she came to this world, Ms. Lin Qin was still alone, and obviously not with Principal Xue Guanlan, Shen Qingzhu emphasized with a puzzled look, "Whether it's love or other feelings or thoughts, you have to speak them out clearly."
“No matter how good the relationship between two people is, it is impossible to fully see through each other’s thoughts. Many misunderstandings arise in each other’s silence.”
“So, if you want a good relationship, the first thing is to be honest about your feelings.”
Xue Guanlan was silent.
Shen Qingzhu actually knew that for many adults, it was very difficult to completely confess their feelings to another person, because no one knew whether the sincerity they offered would be despised or trampled upon.
Especially for people with high self-esteem, if this honesty is not cherished, their hearts will inevitably be hurt.
But, "If you want to take something, you must first give it."
"If you want to get a response from the other person, you must first reveal everything about yourself to the other person."
Just like when Ji Mingxue pursued him passionately.
“It does take a lot of courage.”
Until now, Shen Qingzhu admires Ji Mingxue's bravery and fearlessness at that time, and is also very moved by Ji Mingxue like that.
It was precisely because of being touched by Ji Mingxue that Shen Qingzhu finally admitted his feelings and bravely expressed his love to Ji Mingxue. Only then did the two of them naturally come together.
Shen Qingzhu said frankly, "It is true that confessing yourself to the other person requires great courage, and may not necessarily lead to good results, but rather than regretting it in the future, I personally prefer to give it a try."
"Of course," Shen Qingzhu emphasized, "the premise of all this is that the other party is indeed worthy."
If the other person is the type who would trample on sincerity at will, Shen Qingzhu still does not recommend rashly confessing your feelings.
After all, protecting yourself is equally important.
As for whether Vice Principal Lin Qin is worthy of the job, Shen Qingzhu did not give any advice easily because he knew nothing about the past of these two people. This is something that Principal Xue Guanlan needs to judge for himself.
Xue Guanlan was obviously very clear about this. He nodded when he heard it, and quickly wrote and drew on his private light screen, as if he was recording the key points of what Shen Qingzhu said.
Shen Qingzhu: Well, is it so formal?
Xue Guanlan quickly asked again, "Anything else?"
Shen Qingzhu thought about it.
Although from the current contact, Principal Xue Guanlan does not seem to be the kind of Alpha with serious straight A cancer, but this may be because Shen Qingzhu is also an Alpha.
It is almost impossible for an Alpha to put himself in the shoes of an Omega.
Alphas will never understand the pain and injustice faced by Omegas.
Principal Xue Guanlan is now over a hundred years old. For such an elderly Alpha who has already formed fixed views, Shen Qingzhu does not think that a few words from him can change anything.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Shen Qingzhu only said softly, "In fact, for Mingxue and I, the most important thing in love is to trust and respect each other."
“Believe that the other party has the ability to deal with the problem and respect every choice of the other party.”
"If you really don't know what to do, then forget about each other's gender and just treat each other as human beings just like you."
"I actually always feel that gender and sexuality are just the most intuitive representations of human beings, while personality and soul are the most authentic things of a person."
It is with this idea in mind that Shen Qingzhu can clearly see Ji Mingxue's brilliant soul, and never complains or feels superior because he is an Omega or Alpha.
In Shen Qingzhu's eyes, what he saw were always fellow human beings with different personalities and souls, rather than Omega, Beta or Alpha who were divided into different levels.
These words were very strange to Xue Guanlan because she had almost never heard of similar views before.
I say almost because when Lin Qin broke up with her and insisted on going to the front line of the Expeditionary Force, he also said something that sounded equally strange.
At that time, Xue Guanlan never understood those words and always thought that they were just Lin Qin's angry words.
But today, when Xue Guanlan heard a similar point of view from Shen Qingzhu again, he recalled the scene of that year and was deeply shocked.
Today's occasion is obviously not suitable for the two of them to have a long conversation.
Moreover, what Shen Qingzhu said today was enough for Xue Guanlan to ponder for a while.
Xue Guanlan sincerely thanked Shen Qingzhu, temporarily ended the topic, and said that he might trouble Shen Qingzhu again in the future.
Shen Qingzhu didn't care about this, but he really didn't think he could be of any help.
But seeing that Principal Xue Guanlan looked as if he had realized something, Shen Qingzhu, who had just accepted a gift from him, couldn't refuse.
And in fact, in this world, Xue Congjia is still healthy and did not die early like in Shen Qingzhu's original world. The relationship between Vice Principal Lin Qin and Principal Xue Guanlan is naturally not so stiff.
Shen Qingzhu was really curious and wondered what the future would be like for these two.
…
The birthday party lasted till evening.
Because this open-air garden is so beautiful, the visitors lingered there and were reluctant to leave.
After seeing off the last guest with Ji Mingxue, Shen Qingzhu drove Ji Mingxue home.
Shen Qingzhu received a lot of gifts today, and the hovercraft couldn't hold them all.
Fortunately, Ji Mingxue had already asked the robot to deliver all the gifts to her home.
So as soon as the two entered the house, Shen Qingzhu saw a mountain of gifts in the corner of the living room.
Both of them had eaten a lot in the afternoon and were not hungry at all now.
After returning to their room and changing into comfortable home clothes, they both went to the living room and began to open their gifts.
Mia gave a black and gold card, which allows one to enjoy VIP treatment and discounts in all stores under the Lawrence family.
Ji Mingxue raised her chin proudly after seeing it, "It's not as good as the one I gave you."
Shen Qingzhu was amused by him and knew that what Ji Mingxue said was true.
Because the card that Ji Mingxue gave him was obviously a gold gem card that only core members of the Ji family could get. It could even buy military starships. It was obviously not an ordinary discount card.
After putting away the black gold card, Shen Qingzhu continued to open the gifts.
What Yu Yushun sent was a palm-sized fully ecological simulated miniature planet, which he made himself and even came with a full weather control system.
The birthday card Sariel sent was a handmade one, which contained birthday wishes written in the form of short essays by him and his brother Baimon.
Senior Yan Xiao delivered a merger and acquisition contract. The company being acquired was a certain group that had refused to repent and resolutely refused to pay patent fees when Shen Qingzhu's father Shen Xian was in court over his patent.
After Yan Xiao fought hard for more than half a year, he was finally defeated by the group that used so many despicable tricks. They made a big mistake and now the group has gone bankrupt and restructured, becoming Shen Qingzhu's private property.
Shen Qingzhu: ...
hiss.
Should we say that he is worthy of being Senior Yan Xiao!
After a brief shock, Shen Qingzhu opened many more gifts.
When Shen Qingzhu opened the gift from Senior Sister Deng Yuanyuan and saw the photo of a seedling inside, he was shocked and said to Ji Mingxue with shining eyes, "Senior Sister Deng actually cultivated the 'Star Rose'!"
It's no wonder that Shen Qingzhu was excited. The truth is, ever since he handed over the cells of the Star Rose to Ji Mingxue's Biological Research Institute and senior Deng Yuanyuan, there has been no good news.
Although he knew that this would definitely not be easy, Shen Qingzhu was still a little disappointed. He kept asking Uncle Chang Ning if he had any news about the "Star Rose", but the results were not optimistic.
But today! Deng Yuanyuan gave him such a big surprise!
Although this cloned "Star Rose" still cannot produce seeds and reproduce after it grows up, this new seedling still allows Shen Qingzhu to see the feasibility of artificially cultivating "Star Rose"!
Ji Mingxue was obviously also very surprised by this and said with emotion, "Deng Yuanyuan is really amazing."
Shen Qingzhu was excited, "Yes!"
It was rare to see Shen Qingzhu so happy. Ji Mingxue blinked and suddenly wanted to make him happier.
He took out a lead-gray gift box from behind and handed it to Shen Qingzhu, "This is a gift from Marshal Ji Chai and the 'Expeditionary Force' to you."
Shen Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, took the gift box and looked at it, and found that the material of the gift box seemed to be somewhat special.
But he didn't think much about it. He opened the box and asked Ji Mingxue, "Did you buy this for them?"
After all, the battlefield of the "Expeditionary Force" is too far away from the empire, and it takes nearly a year one way. If Marshal Ji Chai really wants to give himself a gift, he must prepare it at least a year in advance.
But a year ago, Shen Qingzhu was still unknown in the Leman Empire.
Because of this, Shen Qingzhu made this guess.
Ji Mingxue denied it, "No, this gift box was indeed sent from the front line of the 'Expeditionary Force'."
At the same time, Shen Qingzhu also opened the gift box.
When Shen Qingzhu saw the dozens of "Star Rose" seeds sealed in the vacuum bottle in the gift box, her green eyes opened slightly and she almost forgot to breathe.
After a while, he carefully took out the transparent vacuum bottle that was less than the size of a palm and examined it carefully under the light.
As Shen Qingzhu's lover, Ji Mingxue knew him very well and could naturally see the shock and excitement that Shen Qingzhu was suppressing.
Ji Mingxue did not keep the secret and quickly revealed the origin of the bottle of seeds. "Before, because you donated the formula of the new inhibitor to the 'Expeditionary Army' for free, Marshal Ji Chai and the 'Expeditionary Army' are very grateful to you and have always wanted to do something for you."
"After learning that Xianlaiwushi was looking for the seeds of the Star Rose in the Orc Empire, Marshal Ji Chai sent the inventory of the Expeditionary Force and the newly obtained seeds over here."
Shen Qingzhu had recovered from his shock by now. While stroking the body of the vacuum bottle, he smiled and said to Ji Mingxue, "Thank Marshal Ji Chai and everyone from the 'Expeditionary Force' for me."
"With these seeds, large-scale cultivation of 'Star Rose' is just around the corner!"
"I'll send them some advanced Omega inhibitors then."
At this point, Shen Qingzhu suddenly remembered, "How did these seeds get here?"
Ji Mingxue whispered, "It is the latest technology of the 'Expeditionary Force'. It uses the principle of wormhole jump and can greatly shorten the time from the Empire to the Orc front line. However, it can only transport small-scale items now, and the one-way journey takes about three months."
Shen Qingzhu blinked, suddenly hissed, and whispered, "Is this something I can know?"
Ji Mingxue smiled slyly, "It is indeed a military secret. Currently, only the Third Legion and the 'Expeditionary Force' know about it. No other forces in the empire know about it. Honey, remember to keep it secret."
Shen Qingzhu: ...
He looked down at the seeds and said, "Then I have to make up a reason to explain the origin of these seeds."
Ji Mingxue: ...
"That's not necessary."
Anyway, there are very few people who know about "Star Rose", and even fewer who are willing to get to the bottom of it.
But just in case, Ji Mingxue said: "If someone really asks, just say it was from me."
As the crown prince of the empire, it's not surprising that he takes out something rare.
Shen Qingzhu made an OK gesture.
The two happily reached a consensus.
