Chapter 122: Deposed Emperor Becomes a Slave (13)
13
The Northern Zhou peace negotiation team left.
The two countries agreed to maintain a century-long friendly relationship that will never change.
Yuwen Shu continued to serve as the regent of Northern Zhou, and Zhu Qingchen continued to serve as the imperial tutor of Southern Xia, teaching students and handling government affairs.
In their spare time, the two communicated using Yuwen Shu's Goshawk.
A few days later, news came from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
It is said that Yuwen Zan was stabbed by Chen Xun.
On the way back to Northern Zhou, just in case, Yuwen Zan stayed in the prison car and never came out for fresh air.
Chen Xun served Yuwen Zan along the way and was responsible for his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
The group had just reached the border posthouse when, on a dark and windy night, Yuwen Zan somehow opened the prison van.
But he did not run away, nor did he seek revenge on Yuwen Shu. Instead, he went straight into Chen Xun's room and grabbed his neck.
While pinching, Yuwen Zan kept muttering: "It's all your fault. It's all you who deceived me! It's all you who made Xiao Chengzi stop loving me!"
He still refused to repent.
Chen Xun struggled hard, found the dagger for self-defense under the pillow, and stabbed Yuwen Zan hard.
Yuwen Zan fell to the ground.
When the soldiers heard the noise and rushed over, Yuwen Zan had already fallen in a pool of blood, and Chen Xun had been strangled to death.
After the doctor's rescue, Yuwen Zan survived, but the dagger had injured his vital parts and his health was no longer as good as before.
Chen Xun was strangled twice in a row, and it seemed that his throat was injured. His already hoarse voice became even worse. He tried his best to speak, but could only make a sound like a bird.
Not long after, the group returned to Northern Zhou. Yuwen Zan was executed during the autumn, and Chen Xun was exiled to the grassland to herd horses.
At this point, everything is resolved.
*
One morning three years later.
Zhu Qingchen put on his official uniform, held his official hat, and walked out of the Duke of Yingguo’s mansion.
Chu Yunyang, who was in his early twenties, was driving a horse-drawn carriage and waiting in front of the door.
Seeing the teacher coming out, he quickly jumped off the carriage and saluted Zhu Qingchen with his fists: "Morning, teacher."
"Yeah." Zhu Qingchen nodded slightly, stepped on the footstool, and asked casually, "You were not in the palace last night?"
Chu Yunyang is now the youngest general in the court. He commands the imperial guards and guards the imperial city. He often has to stand guard in the palace, so Zhu Qingchen asked him this.
Chu Yunyangfu
After the teacher got on the carriage, he replied, "I have to go to court today. I was not in the palace last night."
He helped the teacher open the curtain and made sure that the teacher was seated firmly before lowering the curtain, sitting in front of the carriage, waving the whip, and driving forward.
The young general, who was in his early twenties, was fearless and even dared to challenge his father in the court, but he behaved very well in front of his teacher.
In the past three years, Zhu Qingchen no longer had to ride in his own carriage whenever he went to court. Chu Yunyang and Wei Yuan took turns to pick him up and drop him off, saving a lot of travel expenses.
Zhu Qingchen sat in the carriage and asked casually, "The autumn hunt is about to begin. Are you and Wei Yuan ready?"
"Teacher, don't worry. Everything is ready. I will be in charge of the imperial guards and Wei Yuan will be in charge of the sacrifice. There will be absolutely no problem."
"Yes." Zhu Qingchen nodded, "The teacher is old, and you youngsters will have to worry more about these things."
Chu Yunyang pursed his lips: "Teacher is not old, these are all excuses."
He is only in his twenties, and Chu Yunyang is also in his twenties, so how can they be old?
Teacher Zhu always has many excuses. Sometimes he says he is not feeling well, sometimes he says he is old and needs to rest more.
No matter what happened in the government, the teacher would always demonstrate it once and then let them do it themselves.
Zhu Qingchen smiled and asked, "Yun Yang, if the teacher wants to travel now, you, Yuan Er, and His Majesty, can..."
Chu Yunyang became anxious when he heard this and turned his head sharply: "No!"
"Why not? You and Xiaoyuan are both in your twenties this year, and His Majesty is eighteen. Over the past year, I haven't been involved in government affairs. You have been handling everything on your own. Why not?"
"No way!" Chu Yunyang shouted, "We are still children!"
Zhu Qingchen pulled the corner of his mouth, with a complicated expression: "Tell me yourself, is there a child with a muscular body?"
"How come I don't? I am!"
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it after the autumn hunt is over."
Chu Yunyang muttered, "You didn't even tell me after the autumn hunt."
Zhu Qingchen reached out from the carriage and knocked him on the head: "I'll beat you to death."
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.
The guards at the gate clasped their fists and saluted: "Congratulations, Grand Tutor, General Chu."
"Good morning." Zhu Qingchen lifted the curtain and let them check.
Even the Grand Tutor and the General cannot be treated specially.
After checking that everything was correct, Chu Yunyang drove the carriage into the palace.
Si
In order to respect teachers, the emperor allowed teachers' carriages to enter the palace and go all the way to the steps of the main hall.
Chu Yunyang stopped the carriage, opened the curtain, and put the footstool in place.
When Zhu Qingchen got off the carriage, he happened to see Wei Yuan coming.
Wei Yuan stepped forward quickly and bowed: "Teacher."
Now he has also entered the court as an official, working under the old censor Chen.
Zhu Qingchen nodded slightly and looked at him with satisfaction: "Yeah."
Zhu Qingchen lifted his skirt and walked up the stairs.
Chu Yunyang and Wei Yuan followed him on his left and right.
When we arrived at the hall, several old ministers had already arrived.
The summer is booming, and the elderly are in good spirits. It is estimated that they can hold on for another ten years.
Zhu Qingchen walked among them and greeted them with a smile: "Old Chen, Old Chu, Old Wei, good morning!"
Old Censor Chen asked, "Young Master was ill again a few days ago?"
"Yeah." Zhu Qingchen nodded embarrassedly.
He started to build up his image of being "frail and sickly" a few years ago, so that he would have an excuse to leave for another world one day.
Old Censor Chen held his hand and said, "The country is stable, young master, you must take good care of yourself."
As the group was talking, Eunuch Cheng's voice came from outside the palace gate: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Zhu Qingchen stood up and bowed.
Eighteen-year-old Xiao Cheng'an walked in from outside wearing imperial formal attire.
After three years of hard work, Xiao Cheng'an grew up quickly and already had the bearing of an emperor.
He walked to the high seat, and before sitting down, he asked, "Is the Master feeling better?"
Zhu Qingchen stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I feel better now."
"Then, Master, are you willing to go with me on this autumn hunt?"
"I am overjoyed."
"I will catch two deer for you then..." Xiao Chengan paused, cleared his throat, and changed his words, "I will catch two deer for you to replenish your body."
*
This year's autumn hunting is the same as in previous years, nothing special.
The only difference is that Zhu Qingchen’s three students are taller than last year and like to go into the woods more.
As soon as the three men arrived at the hunting ground, they were like cows on the grassland or monkeys in the banana forest. They rode on their horses, shouting strangely and running around.
The three men hunted in the mountains and forests all day long, and they killed countless pheasants, rabbits, wild deer and roe deer.
Zhu Qingchen was sitting next to the campfire.
He watched them carry back the prey from the forest one by one, just like purchasing goods, and pile them up beside him.
"Teacher, hare, I'll make you a coat!"
"Teacher, I'll make you some soup with deer antlers!"
"Teacher, I'll roast the venison for you!"
Before he knew it, Zhu Qingchen was surrounded by countless prey.
It was already dark, but the three of them were still reluctant to go back.
They returned reluctantly only when Zhu Qingchen sent people to look for them.
At night, three students sat around the campfire and grilled meat for their teacher.
Zhu Qingchen cleared his throat and said seriously, "The forest is dangerous, and there are often wild beasts that hurt people. Come back quickly after dark, and don't always ask people to look for you."
The three students nodded obediently: "Yes."
Suddenly, Chu Yunyang muttered quietly: "There are not only wild beasts that hurt people, but also ghosts that hurt people."
Wei Yuan immediately realized what he was talking about, and said, "Of course not. There is also the marriage of our Majesty from his previous life in the hunting ground. It is possible that His Majesty has been captured."
Xiao Chengan raised his head:?
“How…how outrageous!”
Chu Yunyang and Wei Yuan quickly covered their mouths and moved away.
Zhu Qingchen raised his hand and hit them one by one: "How dare you say that to your majesty? What predestined relationship from a previous life? That's a hatred from a previous life!"
Xiao Chengan nodded: "That's right."
"Besides, Your Majesty is not the only one who spends the whole day in the hunting grounds. If there is really a predestined relationship in the previous life, then you all have it. Chu Yunyang, you caught two musk deer today, so you have a predestined relationship with musk deer; Wei Yuan, you also have a predestined relationship with the hare."
The two students raised their heads and looked at him aggrievedly.
"Teacher, I don't like deer!"
"Neither do I with hares!"
Zhu Qingchen said sternly: "Then you should stop teasing His Majesty."
The two people responded muffledly: "Oh."
Xiao Cheng'an sat next to the teacher, snorted at them, grabbed a handful of seasoning and sprinkled it on the roasted rabbit.
Zhu Qingchen propped up his head and looked around.
The bonfire was blazing, and civil and military officials sat around it, enjoying themselves.
The Duke of Zhenguo held his huqin and improvised a prairie song: "The sky is vast and the wilderness is boundless——"
Xiao Chengan cut the roasted rabbit with a knife, put it on a plate, and placed it in front of Zhu Qingchen: "Teacher."
"Okay, thank you."
Zhu Qingchen picked up a rabbit leg and just took a bite when the Duke of Zhenguo came over with a zither in his arms.
"Young Master, can you sing a song?"
Chu Yunyang hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away: "Dad, you are drunk."
Zhu Qingchen raised his hand, pushed Chu Yunyang away, then raised the rabbit leg and sang with the Duke of Zhenguo: "Ah——"
——The regent is singing.
Three students sat on the tree stump, covering their ears.
"Chu Yunyang, why is your father singing out of tune?"
“Isn’t it the same when the teacher sings?”
"Nonsense! The teacher sings beautifully!"
"Xiao Cheng'an, you are the emperor. Your words are golden. How can you lie with your eyes open?"
Zhu Taifu held up the rabbit leg and sang. When he was tired, he took a bite, and when he was thirsty, he took a sip of wine.
He looked up and saw a hawk circling overhead.
This was the secret code between him and Yuwen Shu.
When he saw the goshawk coming, he knew it was time for him to leave.
Zhu Qingchen sniffed, raised the rabbit leg, took a big bite, raised the wine bottle, and took a big sip.
After returning to his seat, Chu Yunyang asked him, "Teacher, you don't want to sing anymore?"
"I'm not going to sing anymore. I'm tired." Zhu Qingchen turned to look at him, "Yun Yang, don't drink too much. Take people to patrol the camp later. Don't slack off."
Chu Yunyang nodded: "Yes."
Before the two friends had time to gloat over their misfortune, Zhu Qingchen looked at Wei Yuan again and said, "Xiaoyuan, you should also keep an eye on them. Don't let them go hunting around and forget about government affairs."
"yes."
"And Cheng'an, although General Wei and Censor Chen are staying to supervise the country this time, you should also take time to read the memorials sent by the court."
"yes."
The three students all nodded "yes" obediently, but they all noticed something was wrong, raised their heads, and exchanged glances.
"Teacher, why don't you just sing? It feels weird to say this all of a sudden."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Qingchen smiled and realized, "I shouldn't say these things when you are having fun. Then the teacher won't say any more."
Three students sat around him, not talking about state affairs, but just drinking and chatting casually.
"Teacher, I saw several musk deer in the woods during the day. I will go and catch them for you tomorrow."
"good."
"Teacher, why don't you drink the deer blood? I saved it for you.
"The whole corpse, I'll let your blood flow, that's a tonic, it's very beneficial to the teacher's health."
"It's full of blood, I can't drink it."
"If you really want to retire, the position of Grand Tutor is originally a sinecure. I will help you renovate the Duke of Ying's Mansion, and you can retire in the capital."
"What kind of retreat is this in the capital?"
The group was talking incessantly, and before they knew it, it was getting late.
All officials took their leave and returned to their tents to rest.
The three students drank some wine and fell asleep in a ball.
Zhu Qingchen waved to Eunuch Cheng and said, "Send the three of them back."
Eunuch Cheng asked, "What about the young master?"
"I'll stay here for a while and go back by myself later."
"yes."
Eunuch Cheng took the three children away with his attendants.
Zhu Qingchen was sitting alone on a tree stump. He looked up and saw a goshawk circling in the sky. He took out his bamboo whistle and blew it.
The goshawk flew in front of him. Zhu Qingchen took out the bamboo tube from under its feet and opened the letter.
Yuwen Shu replied with a single word "OK". Zhu Qingchen pursed his lips, threw the note into the dying bonfire, and said to the system, "Let's go."
The system saw that he was a little reluctant, so it asked: "Why don't you stay for another day? Didn't Chu Yunyang say that he would hunt for you tomorrow?"
Zhu Qingchen hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind: "No, hurry up, or I will really be reluctant to leave."
This world is different from the previous ones. Zhu Qingchen has been here for three years, three whole years.
He also accepted three students!
If at this moment, those three students rushed out, hugged his legs, and refused to let him leave crying, he might have to stay here until he died!
For the mission, he has to leave immediately!
"Okay." The small ball of light emitted a faint blue light, "Let's go."
*
Before heading to the next world, the system said to Zhu Qingchen: "Chenchen, congratulations, you have successfully experienced five C-level worlds and completed a linkage mission!"
Zhu Qingchen asked expectantly, "Is there a reward?"
"Of course!" The system said in a slightly raised tone, "From today on, you can go to the B-level world!"
"Wow!" Zhu Qingchen was very supportive and continued to look forward to it, "What are the benefits of the B-level world?"
"Hmm...B-level world..." The system thought for a moment,
It’s more complicated.”
Zhu Qingchen:?
“The world types are richer.”
Zhu Qingchen:? ?
"A scumbag top is even scumbag."
Zhu Qingchen: ???
"What kind of reward is this? Tell me, what kind of reward is this?"
"A strong opponent means you are also strong." The system said weakly, "Think about it, fighting against a useless opponent means you are not that good, but fighting against a strong opponent means you are all very good."
Zhu Qingchen pursed his lips and said, "I would rather my opponents were all trash, so I could sweep a large area and go home immediately."
"Don't say that." The system suddenly remembered something, "Oh, there's another benefit!"
Zhu Qingchen remained skeptical: "What?"
"Once you enter the B-level world, you have the right to choose."
"Choice?"
"You can select a world to enter based on the world label."
The system worked hard, and a white light flashed in front of Zhu Qingchen's eyes. Several bamboo slips floated in front of him and circled around him.
Zhu Qingchen took a quick look and said, "Realistic? Perfect top? Adult love?"
The system explained: "These are small world tags. You can choose a world to do the task."
Zhu Qingchen raised his head and said, "They don't look very good. Let me take a look."
"Take your time and take your time. There's no rush."
"Okay." Zhu Qingchen took down a bamboo slip, "Affectionate top? I know this. In every small world I've been to, the protagonist top is very 'affectionate'. This is not good, it's an irony."
He immediately changed his tune: "Atypical crematorium? I guess that's just a sarcastic remark. The wife-chasing crematorium I've been to was outrageous enough. Add the word 'atypical' to it, and it's definitely outrageous on top of outrageous."
"Hmm..." Zhu Qingchen didn't want to go to any world and felt a little conflicted.
Suddenly, he saw something and his eyes lit up.
"This! A gentle father-type attack!" Zhu Qingchen grabbed a bamboo slip floating in the air, "Tongtong, I have never seen this before. He is already a father to someone, so he can't be too bad, right?"
"'Daddy' doesn't mean being someone's dad. Have you not been to the modern world for too long?" The system suggested frantically, "How about we take another look?"
"No need to look." Zhu Qingchen nodded confidently, "Just choose this one!"
The familiar light feather floated in front of Zhu Qingchen. Zhu Qingchen raised his head slightly and caught the light feather with his forehead: "This is
inside. "
The moment the light feather landed on Zhu Qingchen's forehead, the familiar feeling of weightlessness made him fall backwards.
He fell on the soft spring bed.

The protagonist of this book is named Shi Ran.
Shi Ran originally had a happy family. His father was serious and his mother was gentle, and the family lived in harmony.
Shi Ran grew up carefree until he was five years old.
When he was five years old, his parents took him out for a trip, and the starship they were on was suddenly attacked by Zerg.
In order to protect him, his parents hid him in a suitcase, told him not to come out, then rushed out of the room and directed others to take shelter.
By the time the guards arrived and took him out of the suitcase, his parents had already been brutally killed by the Zerg's tentacles, their bodies a bloody mess.
Little Shi Ran lay on the shoulder of the escort soldier, eyes wide open, looking at the tragic scene in front of him with a vague understanding, and engraved this scene deeply in his heart.
Since he lost both his parents and has no other family members, Shi Ran will be sent to an orphanage.
Just then, the Shen couple appeared.
It turns out that Shi Ran and his wife are retired soldiers of the Guard.
That is why, when they were attacked by Zerg, their first reaction was to hide their son and then rush to help others.
The Shen couple were their comrades-in-arms. When they heard about the tragedy and that Shi Ran was going to be sent to an orphanage, they hurried over and adopted him.
Shi Ran was taken home by them.
After getting off the starship, he stood in front of the luxurious manor, tugged at his dirty clothes, holding the doll his parents left him, feeling timid and awkward.
Mrs. Shen squatted down and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Xiao Ran, don't be afraid. This will be your home from now on. You can also call us 'Dad Shen' and 'Mom Shen' from now on, okay?"
Before Shi Ran could say anything, a teenage boy appeared.
Mrs. Shen introduced: "This is the son of me and your father Shen. He is ten years older than you. You can call him 'brother'."
The young man squatted down in front of Shi Ran, gently took his hand, and said considerately: "My name is Shen Xiuping. If you don't want to call me 'brother', you can just call me by my name."
Shi Ran's eyes were red, and he called out in a mosquito-like voice, "Brother Xiuping."
"Be good." Shen Xiuping patted his head, speaking gently, "Since you call me 'brother', I will always protect you. Don't worry, I will apply for the military academy and kill all the Zerg to avenge you, okay?"
After Shi Ran was rescued, everyone around him was afraid that he would develop a psychological trauma, so they kept silent about the Zerg. Even if he took the initiative to bring it up, everyone would always say that he had remembered it wrong and that he should forget about it as soon as possible.
Finally someone mentioned this matter to him and said they would help him kill all the Zerg and avenge him.
Shi Ran couldn’t hold it in any longer, and threw himself into Shen Xiuping’s arms, crying loudly.
Shen Xiuping hugged him, patted his back, and comforted him softly: "Don't cry, brother will help you get revenge."
Shi Ran just stayed in the Shen family.
The Shen couple treated him very well, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation were exactly the same as Shen Xiuping's.
He also had a very good relationship with Shen Xiuping. When he couldn't sleep at night and had nightmares about the Zerg, Shen Xiuping would always comfort him and assure him that he would kill all the Zerg and avenge him.
As agreed, Shen Xiuping was admitted to the best military academy in the capital of the empire at the age of eighteen.
Three years later, Shen Xiuping joined the Guards as an outstanding graduate and was promoted all the way because of his outstanding performance.
But I don't know since when, the relationship between them has slowly changed -
When Shi Ran was a little more sensible, he realized that he couldn't just rely on Shen Xiuping to help him get revenge. He had to become stronger and avenge his parents himself.
However, every time he said this, Shen Xiuping would always ask him half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Isn't it enough to have a brother to help you get revenge?"
Shi Ran didn't understand at first, he clenched his fists and replied with a heavy face: "I want to take revenge on my own, brother, help me, and take double revenge."
Later, when he grew up a little, he finally saw it.
Shen Xiuping was unhappy.
He didn't know why Shen Xiuping was unhappy. He fought side by side with his brother.
Isn't the Tao good?
However, since Shen Xiuping didn't like it, he didn't mention it anymore.
Just keep this wish deep in your heart.
However, as he grew up, Shen Xiuping became more and more unhappy.
——He went out to play with his classmates and came home a little late. Shen Xiuping was sitting on the sofa in the living room without even turning on the lights, waiting for him motionlessly, which scared him.
Shen Xiuping said: "Xiao Ran, don't come home so late in the future, your brother will be worried."
Shi Ran whispered, "I've already called my brother."
But Shen Xiuping seemed not to hear it, and repeated it gently: “But my brother will be worried.”
——He couldn’t sleep at night and played games with his classmates. When Shen Xiuping saw him playing games online, he pushed the door open and asked him why he didn’t sleep.
He said he had a nightmare, so Shen Xiuping took away his game console, quit the game directly, and then sat by his bed, patting his heart gently like when he was a child, and coaxing him to sleep.
Shi Ran felt uncomfortable: "Brother, go back to sleep, I can sleep by myself."
Shen Xiuping still looked gentle: "Brother will wait until you fall asleep before leaving."
"But……"
"But my brother will be sad."
——He went to see a mecha exhibition with his classmates, and with the help of the staff, he got on the mecha driver's seat for the first time.
But before he could drive the mecha, the cockpit was forcibly opened by Shen Xiuping.
Shen Xiuping grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the cockpit in public.
Shi Ran struggled hard: "Brother, my classmates are still here...let me go..."
There was no anger on Shen Xiuping's face, and he was gentle from beginning to end: "Xiao Ran, operating the mecha is too hard, you can't stand it, brother is doing this for your own good."
Shi Ran was taken home like this.
He went to find Shen's father and Shen's mother, wanting them to take care of Shen Xiuping.
But they don't take it seriously.
They said, "Brother just cares too much about you. Your grades are not good now, and you go out to play all day. When your grades improve, you can go wherever you want to play. Brother is just talking, can he really control you?"
Shi Ran seemed to be convinced. He could only study harder and work harder to delve into mechas.
According to what Shen's father and mother said, as long as he
If his grades improve, his brother will no longer worry about him or interfere with him.
Finally, he got the first place in his grade.
He felt relieved and made an appointment with his classmates to go to the new mecha exhibition.
As a result, he was caught by Shen Xiuping again and taken home.
Shi Ran exploded for the first time: "Chen Xiuping, I am already the top student in the grade. I am as proficient in mechas as you are. I will not get hurt! Why do you interfere with me? I just want to apply for the military academy! I just want to operate mechas! I just want to avenge my parents!"
For the first time, anger appeared on Shen Xiuping's gentle face: "I said no, it means no, just leave the battle to brother. Xiao Ran, do you want to disobey your brother?"
Shi Ran smashed the vase: "Yes, I just want to disobey my brother, so what?!"
Shen Xiuping's face was getting more and more angry. He grabbed Shi Ran's wrist, threw him into the room, and locked the door: "You should reflect on yourself."
Shi Ran banged on the door frantically: "Chen Xiuping, let me out! Why do you care about me!"
Shi Ran heard Shen Xiuping at the door of the room and called his teacher: “Yes, Xiao Ran is sick, very seriously, and needs to recuperate for a week. I can’t attend the guard team lecture next week. I’m sorry.”
Shi Ran shouted from inside the door: "Teacher, I don't want to ask for leave! Teacher, I want to attend the lecture! I want to attend!"
Shen Xiuping propped one hand on the door and said calmly, “I’m not his brother, I’m his…fiancé.”
What does it mean? Shen Xiuping, what does this mean?
A bolt from the blue hit Shi Ran on the head, knocking him completely unconscious.
He had no parental guidance. From childhood to adulthood, Shen Xiuping would cuddle with him, play games with him, and coax him to sleep. Father and Mother Shen would always smile and say that the two brothers had a very good relationship.
Yes, brother, they should be brothers.
How could Shen Xiuping be his fiancé?
How could he be Shen Xiuping's child bride?
No, Shen Xiuping must have misunderstood! It's not like that!
It was not until this time that he realized it belatedly.
He has grown up, and Shen Xiuping's control over him is abnormal.
It is abnormal not allowing him to play with his classmates, not allowing him to go to the mecha exhibition with his classmates, and not allowing him to stay overnight at his classmates' homes!
It's not brotherly love at all! No!
Shi Ran suddenly lost his strength and fell to the ground.
he
He covered his heart, gasped for breath, and was almost suffocated.
At this time, Shen Xiuping asked the teacher for leave for him, pushed open the door and came in, saw him sitting on the ground, and reached out to help him.
Shi Ran screamed and quickly dodged.
Shi Ran’s face flushed and he leaned against the wall weakly.
Seeing him like this, Shen Xiuping frowned and said, “Xiao Ran, you are going to split.”
Differentiation?!
Shi Ran suddenly opened his eyes wide.
No! He doesn't want to differentiate! He doesn't want to differentiate into an Omega!
If he differentiated into an Omega, he would really become the Shen family's child bride. He didn't want that! He didn't want that!
Shen Xiuping picked him up and put him on the bed.
Shen Xiuping touched his cheek: "Xiao Ran, just be at ease and differentiate into an Omega. When your brother goes to the battlefield, Xiao Ran will wait for him at home."
No! Never!
Shi Ran clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to resist the differentiation.
Not long after, Shi Ran fainted completely.
When he woke up again, Shen Xiuping was guarding his bedside with a gloomy face.
Father Shen and Mother Shen were also there, and their faces did not look very good.
Shi Ran asked hoarsely, "What have I differentiated into?"
Mother Shen comforted him: “It’s okay, Xiao Ran, it’s also good to differentiate into Beta, and it won’t be disturbed by pheromones.”
Shi Ran breathed a sigh of relief, fell on the pillow, and smiled with satisfaction.
Great, he's a Beta.
Shen Xiuping would never marry a Beta, and there were many majors in the military academy specifically for Betas.
That’s great, that’s great.
Shen Xiuping suddenly spoke: "Xiao Ran, the doctor said that you were too stimulated by the differentiation this time and need to recuperate at home."
Shi Ran's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Shen Xiuping.
Shen Xiuping said gently: "Brother has asked the teacher for a long vacation for you. From today on, you have to stay at home."
Shi Ran said hastily: "I can go to school! I'm a Beta, I don't have any problems!"
"I will hire a tutor for you to come to your home and teach you. Don't worry, you won't fall behind in your studies."
Hearing him say this, Shi Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s great, Shen Xiuping has completely given up on him and will no longer treat him as his fiancée.
Father Shen and Mother Shen also said:
Don't worry, Xiao Ran, the tutor teaches better than the teachers at school and won't affect your studies."
"Yeah." Shi Ran nodded vigorously, once again looking forward to the future.
Until his tutor came to his house.
She was a delicate aristocratic Omega, like a small flower raised in a greenhouse, responsible for teaching—
Flower arrangement, tea art, cooking, musical instruments, and aristocratic social etiquette.
Only then did Shi Ran realize that he had been cheated!
Shen Xiuping never let him go. Even though he had differentiated into Beta, Shen Xiuping still wanted to train him into a perfect wife.
The ugly expressions on Shen's father and mother's faces were not only because he had differentiated into a Beta, but also because Shen Xiuping insisted on marrying a Beta!
Shi Ran tried to resist and escape, but was caught every time.
He was pressed in front of the tutor by the bodyguards, lifeless and like a zombie, mechanically putting the flowers on the table into the vase.
Shen Xiuping hugged him from behind, and as before, gently called him "Xiao Ran".
Shen Xiuping said that all this was for his own good.
——How can he be so weak, so young, and a Beta? How can he control a mecha? How can he go to the battlefield?
——Being the top student in the grade is only temporary. Studying in school is not worth mentioning. He doesn’t understand the world on the battlefield at all. The path chosen for him by his brother is the best.
——He only needs to marry his brother, stay behind his brother, help his brother with housework, and watch his brother go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, which can be regarded as a kind of revenge.
In order to prove that he was right, Shen Xiuping signed up Shi Ran for the unified exam in June.
Shen Xiuping said that after the results came out, Shi Ran would know that Alpha and Beta were from two completely different worlds, and no matter how hard Shi Ran tried, he could never compare to Alpha.
Shi Ran was full of energy and asked his classmates to send him the review materials. He learned etiquette during the day and hid in the quilt at night to review seriously.
On the day of the exam, Shen Xiuping greeted the examination room and personally accompanied him to the exam.
Shi Ran looked at him seriously: "If I pass the exam, you will let me go to military school."
Shen Xiuping was still gentle, but deliberately ignored his words: “Go in and play as you like, and go home when you’ve had enough.”
Shi Ran insisted: "If I pass the exam, you will let me go to military school."
Shen Xiuping frowned and responded casually: “If you don’t pass the exam, you are not allowed to make trouble anymore.”
The exam is divided into a written test and a practical test. The practical test requires driving a mecha. Shi Ran has never touched a mecha, so how can he pass the exam?
Shi Ran tried his best to take the exam and did exactly what the book said.
He waited anxiously for a month.
But he got nothing, no transcript, no admission letter, nothing.
Shen Xiuping took out a "Mecha Compensation Sheet" and handed it to him.
They said that Shi Ran broke the mecha in the examination room during practical training and he needed to pay compensation.
He had no money, so Shen Xiuping paid for him.
Impossible! This can't be possible!
Shi Ran remembered it clearly. He did not damage the mecha. He operated it according to what was written in the book. When he left, the mecha was still in good condition.
He contacted the examination center, the leadership, and the relevant departments to file an appeal.
But everyone said that he was the one who broke the mecha, so he didn't get any test scores.
He was the one who messed up everything. He was the only student in all the exams who did not have a transcript. He should feel ashamed of this. He should accept everything his family arranged for him and stop having wild dreams and making trouble.
Until the end, Shi Ran began to doubt himself.
Maybe... he really was the one who broke the mecha?
Shen Xiuping sat next to him from beginning to end, watching him fool around.
He hugged Shi Ran gently and kissed his temples: "Xiao Ran, you have tried it, you are not suitable for driving a mecha. Brother has seen it a long time ago, but I didn't want to make you sad, so I didn't let you go."
Shi Ran gave up.
Maybe... he is really not suitable for going to the battlefield?
They got married under Shen Xiuping's arrangement.
As Shen Xiuping described, when Shen Xiuping went to the battlefield, he stayed at home, taking care of his parents, arranging flowers and drinking tea with other generals' spouses, waiting for their husbands to return.
Everyone in and outside the book said that Shen Xiuping was a perfect man.
Chen Xiuping has a gentle personality. He and Shi Ran are childhood sweethearts and grew up together. He is the person who knows Shi Ran best in the world.
Even though Shi Ran was a "little troublemaker" at the beginning, doing whatever he wanted, Chen Xiuping always tolerated him and stood there waiting for him to come back.
Even though Shi Ran differentiated into a Beta, Shen Xiuping did not despise him and never thought of looking for other better Omegas.
In order to marry him, Shen Xiuping did not hesitate to go against his parents.
She faced the pressure from her parents and Shi Ran's mischief alone and never backed down.
When Shi Ran was in the most violent situation, Shen Xiuping did not use the Alpha's force to force him, nor did he imprison him. He kept their most beautiful first time until after they got married.
Even though Shi Ran was a Beta who had difficulty in conceiving, Shen Xiuping managed to make him pregnant twice within three years.
Shen Xiuping is a gentle and kind top who is different from the scumbag tops in the legal system. He is a peerless top who stands out from them. He is the top 1 general that all the citizens of the empire want to marry, as voted by the public.
Shen Xiuping's love is burning and deep in his bones.
Everyone said so, and in the end, Shi Ran himself said so too.
Well, Shi Ran is simply the happiest Beta in the world.
He took the cooking and tea art exams and stood out among a group of Omegas.
Shen Xiuping was proud of him. He held his hand, gently kissed the back of his hand, took him to the banquet, and watched him socialize with satisfaction, as if he was watching the rose he had cultivated with great effort bloom.
But... why did Shi Ran still burst into tears when he found his real transcript in the deepest drawer of Shen Xiuping's study?

Zhu Qingchen: ???
"Where is the gentleness? Ah? Isn't it said that it is a gentle father type top?"
The system said: "According to statistics, the word 'gentle' appears 2561 times, 'gentle' 1293 times, and 'gentle voice' 561 times in the entire text, all of which describe Shen Xiuping."
“If I write a few words of tenderness on a piece of paper, will he really be tender? Then if I write a few words of ‘money, money, money’ on a piece of paper, will I be a small millionaire?” Zhu Qingchen covered his head, “I should have realized earlier that the ‘tenderness’ and ‘affection’ in the crematorium article are both lies. Ouch, my head hurts——”
"Affectionate but scumbag, gentle but scumbag, these are all high-frequency words in the crematorium." The system moved to his side and rubbed his head. "I asked you to reconsider it."
Zhu Qingchen lay on the bed, banging his head against the pillow.
