Chapter 47 Chapter 47 I feel a little dead now
I have crossed mountains, rivers, and seas, and I have also walked through crowds of people...
Use your damn brain!
Relax, calm down, think about what you can immediately put the blame on Levin and Olvera, and put it on them quickly!
Yes, yes, yes. And how can I pretend that I am not familiar with this blond-haired, blue-eyed alpha in front of me? At most, we just washed each other’s cars.
Bullshit! I can't afford to offend either of these two!
Ahhhh what should I do!
"Useless!"
I looked up in confusion, my fingers still grasping the spoon, looking dumbfounded and unable to believe that I could see Kirsty's shocked expression again.
"K-Kirsty! It's really you!"
Don't panic, Bai Wuyong, just delay as much as possible. Think about it, this is your first meeting with him in Ascending City, and he still looks incredulous. What does that mean?
This means he didn’t know you were in Ascending City before!
Well done, Olvera and Levine! I applaud you for showing off your psychopathic personality! So good of you for not giving Kirsty any information about me!
And Kirsty was indeed startled by the surprise that burst out in my eyes, and her original anger was slightly calmed down.
I took my spoon back and smiled a little innocently. "I didn't expect to see you again, Kirsty. I'm really glad. I thought..."
At this point, my eyes dimmed a little, "I thought I really would never see you again in this life."
Kirsty's last bit of anger also dissipated, and she finally had time to look at the alpha police officer who seemed to be watching the show next to her.
I followed his gaze and looked at Horry.
Don't be impatient, it's your turn now.
I introduced Kirsty with a sincere look, "This is Officer Horry."
Kirsty looked at Horry critically, "I know."
He didn't pay much attention to Horry. He just casually nodded to Horry and continued talking to me.
"Officer Horry, this is Kirsty Jane. I was a deliveryman for his company when I was in the slums." I didn't give Kirsty a chance to speak and continued talking to Horry.
For a moment, both of their attention was focused on each other.
The blond alpha's smile was exaggeratedly bright. He leaned against the table and chair, propping up one leg in a rather unruly manner. "Mr. Jian, nice to meet you. I've heard about you from my eldest brother. You're a respectable omega. By the way, give my regards to your fiancé."
He even pretended to extend his hand, ready to give a gentlemanly hand-kiss.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Kirsty slapped it away with a fake smile.
"If you want to say hello to him, go to him in person."
Horry naturally pulled back.
I bet this person didn't really want to kiss the hand.
"You two seem to have a good relationship." I said it with my eyes wide open, and the main character was a simple, honest and dull man who couldn't understand the ways of the world.
After stuffing a mouthful of rice into my mouth, I looked at Horry with sincerity and earnestness, "There's still some time before the court reopens. Can I talk to Kirsty first?"
"What are you talking about?" Horry asked.
"Let's talk about things in the slums." I put on a sad face again. "I want to ask about the current situation of my other friends in the slums."
“…Go ahead.”
I looked grateful and said, "Thank you, Officer Horry."
Kirsty's emotions were much more stable than Olvera's. He knew that some things could only be discussed between two people, so he maintained good silence throughout the whole process and waited for me to take him to a small corner.
I looked around and made sure that no one else would pass by here and that the surveillance cameras wouldn't capture it. Only then did I feel relieved and turned to smile at Kirsty.
Of course, it wasn't a smile of pure surprise.
First, there's the lingering fear of having survived a catastrophe, then there's the grief and indignation of having to deal with the fate that played such a trick on you.
Never mind the emotions, as long as they were complicated enough, Kirsty couldn't understand them anyway.
I stepped forward and gently held Kirsty's hand. "Kirsty, are you, are you okay these days?"
Kirsty's eyes flickered slightly, and her other hand subconsciously began to tangle with her snow-white braid. "What do you think?"
He was clearly no longer angry, but he still feigned anger and pushed my hand away. "I'm fine, but you actually came to Ascend City early. If I hadn't seen you occasionally on the live broadcast, I don't know how long you would have kept it a secret from me."
"You're even involved with that murderer."
"Sorry..." I lowered my head and instead of denying it, I began to apologize.
Kirsty interrupted me impatiently, "What else can you do besides apologize?"
"Hold... me, I don't know." I took his hand again with grievance, turned my face so that my left eye wrapped in gauze faced him, and acted out the so-called "broken feeling of the protagonist" that I learned from TV dramas.
Several pretentious words were used to make people sound like glass.
"Kirsty, a lot has happened these days. I don't know where to start." The corners of my mouth were bitter. "I tried to ask people about you, but I found that I couldn't fit in with the people here no matter what I did. I asked my colleague, but he..."
I curled my lips and said, "Why am I telling you this? I'm asking for trouble. You don't need to listen."
Kirsty turned my face back. "So you've given up on me?"
"I didn't!" I retorted immediately. "A lot of wealthy people go for walks in the square in the evening, so I thought I'd try my luck and see if I could run into you. But I didn't expect to meet Sin Roya on the 21st. She even gave me a box from the slums, and I couldn't resist, so I took it."
Great, it all fits together!
I am useless, I am so deeply in love! I went to the square not to watch the hot dance of the beauties, nor to plan to scam people, but to find the love I once had in the slums!
However, this kind, honest and idealistic man who is deeply in love is teased by fate and has to be involved in a cruel power struggle!
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Understand the applause!
My eyes were red, and I pulled my face out of his hands with grievance and sadness. Then I took a step back with a forbearing and painful expression, "Kirsty, the situation is different now. If it were me before, I would kiss you without hesitation after meeting you today."
"But my situation is special now. You saw it on the live broadcast, right? The deputy head hates me so much that she even shot me in court. If it weren't for my good luck, I wouldn't even have the chance to see you one last time."
Kirsty was stunned by my sudden pain and sorrow. When she realized what was happening, anger appeared between her brows. She pulled me back indignantly, "What do you mean, Bai Wuyong?"
"You fucked me, and you're going to throw me away?"
"That's not what I meant!" I felt even more miserable, and I held Kirsty's hand against my cheek, just in time to put the gauze on it.
I kissed his fingers with trembling lips, almost in grief and with the emotion of asking him to forgive me. "Kirsty, I am in danger now, do you understand? I can die at any time. Maybe I will be assassinated, or framed, or sent back to the slums that have become a ruin. I have no future, and anyone who stands with me has no future either."
"And I know that the situation on the military front is tense right now, and your family is also caught in the vortex, isn't it?"
As I said the latter part, I watched Kirsty's micro-expressions out of the corner of my eye.
Very good, he is not really naive and ignorant of the world. He knows that the Jian family, who are involved in transporting arms at this time, are obvious targets in the eyes of many people.
"Kirsty, I don't know what the Horry family wants to do." I said in a low and choked voice.
Listen carefully, I'm about to flatter you.
Hehe, this is the benefit of reading more books and newspapers. Just a little bit of useful key information can turn the situation around at any time!
"This involves a jury, and I don't want to see you dragged into it," I said. "Kirsty, I want you to be okay."
After saying that, I pushed Kirsty away, looked at him with deep longing, then turned away in pain.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
"Useless!" Kirsty trotted over to block my path. "Why are you still so stupid?"
Great, problem solved.
I felt dejected and sad. "This is the only solution I can think of. Besides, you're in Uptown right now. I heard from Officer Horry that your fiancé is a very capable man. If you can marry him during this time, you won't have to worry about being implicated."
Kirsty slapped me on the shoulder in anger.
It doesn't hurt, it's just pure playfulness.
"Don't mention him to me, he's just an idiot!" Kirsty cursed angrily. "Once all those damn rebels in the military district are dead, I'll break off my engagement with him."
I pretended not to hear the implication in his words. "Would breaking off the engagement affect you? Gossip reporters always like to make nonsense of omegas' supposed chastity."
The obviously defensive words made Kirsty feel a little better.
My long speech just now worked. He knew it was wrong to be intimate in public, so he pulled me back to his little corner.
He held my hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it again and again, his wet tongue making the gaps between my fingers hot.
"I know you're worried about me, but it's useless," Kirsten said softly. "Don't be afraid. I won't reveal our relationship to anyone until the engagement is broken off."
The omega's eyes were filled with joy and satisfaction. After getting intimate enough with the other person, he taunted his fiancé, "That useless piece of shit will never know."
I kept silent, pretending to be a quail. Maintaining a proper silence when your lover mentions your fiancé is a necessary quality for a gigolo.
After I coaxed Kirsty into leaving, I slowly started back to the cafeteria.
But as soon as he turned around, he bumped into a familiar woman.
She was wearing a casual black suit and holding a low-key and luxurious crutch. She was about 57 years old, with a kind and amiable smile, which made people feel good at first sight.
"Young people are indeed full of vigor and vitality." She said to me with a kind smile.
Just this one sentence made my blood freeze and cold sweat break out!
Damn it, when did you start standing here?
My entire body's defense mechanism kicked in, and I immediately spoke to her with a simple and honest expression and sincere eyes, full of respect, "Good day, Captain."
Cutler, still smiling, raised his hand and beckoned me over.
I didn't move, my cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "Captain, I'm still very hungry. Do you have anything important to say?"
"Okay, young man, don't be nervous." Cutler put his hands behind his back. "I just want to talk to you."
Oh shit, I'm dying.
There was no way to refuse now. It would be better to crash between Kirsty and Horry. At least there was a chance of saving his life.
Feeling a chill on my neck, I moved slowly, trying my best to delay the court session.
But the road was only a short distance, and no matter how I extended it, the people were standing in front of the group leader.
"Hello, Captain." I made my expression look respectful and honest.
"Hahahaha!" Cutler laughed. "I'm not some cannibalistic rebel. Relax, young man."
"It's just that I like the colorful world. Every ambitious young person is like this. When I was young, I was also dazzled by beautiful omegas."
She had seen it! And she used the word "omegas"!
It's over, Bai Wuyong, the fact that you are dating multiple women has been discovered!
What should I do? Should I do her now?
It's impossible! Someone of this status knows, no matter how hard they think, that there are bodyguards lurking in every dark corner. If I move even a little, bullets will be fired at me like crazy!
No, we can’t give up yet!
She didn't say it clearly!
I forced a shy smile, then turned self-deprecating. "I think being loved by a wonderful omega like Kirsty is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me. But I'm just a beta from the slums. I'm not worthy of him at all."
"Oh?" Carter's smile became a little more subtle, and the fingers holding his crutch moved slightly. "I thought you liked Levin from the Scott family more."
I: ……
Please, stop talking, my knees are about to hit the ground.
The next second, Cutler lashed out again, "On the 21st, you punched my adopted son."
"He thought he was hiding it well, but he has absolutely no idea how to lie. He's just stupid and adorable."
Speaking of her beautiful yet foolish adopted son, Carter sighed helplessly, like a mother facing her child. "Ah, maybe it's because I raised him to be too foolish, that's why he was easily deceived by some inexplicable people using romance novel tropes. I really should have arranged his marriage sooner. Corialon of the Horry family is a good choice."
"But this foolish child doesn't know that marriage is a union of interests. He only fantasizes about those inexplicable loves and always talks about wanting free love."
"He's only 18 years old. He has no idea that those fake things are worthless in the face of profit and are even more likely to depreciate than the luxury goods he bought."
The older alpha female turned to the young man with a smile, her thick eyebrows and eyes, eroded by the years, looking incredibly majestic.
Under such scrutiny, the young man's lips turned pale, but his black eyes were still trying hard to think of a way to survive.
"What do you think I should do with him as a mother?" the older man looked down at the younger man and asked with a smile.
Me: Not much, I feel a bit dead now.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Xiaobai felt a little bit dead when facing Captain Cutler, who was comparable to a big boss.
