Chapter 33 Orange Blossom Omega decided to take another strong dose of medicine...
Chief Min had a face that was as handsome as one could imagine an Omega should have. As soon as he appeared, he caught the attention of almost all the Alpha soldiers.
Except for the Beta who could not sense pheromones, everyone present could sense the orange blossom pheromones of the Omega floating in the air.
A white floral scent with a hint of citrus pulp, with just the right amount of green to not be annoying.
When the Alpha soldier, who had been single for a long time, saw such a beautiful woman, his pheromones began to stir along with his racing heart.
This is an instinctive attraction.
When the Omegas who were invited to the social gathering saw such a strong competitor, their alarm bells went off and they began to whisper to each other.
"This person looks familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before."
"I remember now. He is the president of the Michael Fund."
“Is this true or false?”
"I also bought their fund, and the growth rate is very stable."
"Does an Omega like him also need to participate in social gatherings?"
"Stop talking, he seems to have looked over here."
Min Ran was already accustomed to these discussions. He ignored all the gazes that were looking at him and headed straight for the purpose of his trip.
"Colonel Huo, long time no see."
Huo Yubai was standing only three steps away from Ji He. He smelled the familiar scent of orange blossom and slowly turned around.
Min Ran's eyes were slightly curved, revealing a harmless smile, and the handshake gesture was suspended in mid-air, obviously waiting for Colonel Alpha's response.
"Um."
A beautiful face with red lips and white teeth is right in front of you, and no single Alpha will not be moved.
The two people's hands touched lightly, and then quickly loosened their hands, just shaking hands out of courtesy.
"That Omega knows the Colonel?"
"It's over. I'm going to be heartbroken."
"You're not here for Colonel Huo, are you?"
Min Ran seemed not to hear these voices. He always had a gentle smile on his face. He looked in the direction where Alpha was standing and blinked at Ji He.
"Sergeant Ji, nice to see you again."
Ji He had not expected that the other party would be able to tell him his military title in an instant.
"yes."
"You were still a sergeant last time I saw you. Looks like I have to take advantage of your career luck."
As Min Ran spoke, he took two steps forward, but was blocked by Colonel Huo who unconsciously stepped aside.
"Mr. Min is joking."
Omega's steps forward had to stop, and he looked up at Colonel Huo's slightly defensive posture, as if he were some kind of monster, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.
Min Ran lowered his head slightly, and no one saw the cunning and mockery that flashed across his eyes.
The marriage between the Min family and the Huo family is still a little far from being completed. He left behind a large project worth hundreds of millions and came here just to deal with Colonel Huo.
The two elders of the Huo family liked him very much, and General Huo even hoped that Huo Yubai could marry him as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Alpha was lukewarm towards him, causing the matter to get stuck in the middle.
"Colonel, can I have a moment with you for a chat?"
Colonel Alpha and President Omega looked like a perfect match just standing there, not to mention their family backgrounds and pheromones.
"Sergeant Ji, you haven't finished yet. What happened to that secret crush?"
Sergeant Beta's eyes darkened, his thin light pink lips were pursed into a straight line, his jawline was tightly contracted, and he couldn't think of responding to other people's questions.
"good."
Huo Yubai agreed.
Ji He told himself that they were just chatting and he shouldn't be so petty, but his eyes still drifted in the direction where the two people left.
He and the colonel did not make the matter public. Facing the innocent Mr. Min, Ji He had no right to do anything and could only digest it silently.
In short, no matter what the purpose was, Ji He would not allow himself to show that he was jealous.
"Mr. Min, is there anything I can help you with?" Colonel Huo stood with his hands behind his back, his tone cold.
"This is my first time at the Union Army Headquarters. Colonel, won't you take me around?"
The Omega in front of him was talking about something else, so the Alpha frowned, determined to end the Gordian knot.
"If you are here for marriage, I think it is necessary to make it clear to you."
"I don't like you, and I won't marry you."
"Whether we want to go our separate ways or stay together for life, please find someone else, Mr. Min."
The indifferent and aloof Alpha Colonel raised his eyes slightly while saying this and made a "please" gesture to Min Ran.
Min Ran was not angry when he heard these words, but he was reminded of an annoying ghost who had been dead for eight hundred years, and he became dazed for a moment.
Huo Yubai saw the other person's expression and realized that his words were a bit harsh. He said sincerely, "I'm sorry, but I have to say these words."
He wasn't that resistant last time. Did something happen in just a few weeks that he didn't know about?
Min Ran found this very interesting, and with a hurt look on his face, he asked, "Colonel, am I that bad?"
To be fair, Min Ran is not bad, and even fits Huo Yubai's initial vague imagination of what an Omega partner should be.
"It doesn't matter."
“It just doesn’t fit.”
"Why is it inappropriate?"
Min Ran came forward, forced Colonel Huo to the corner, and waited calmly for his answer.
"Anyway, you don't need to hit on me."
Min Ran, who was indeed planning on pursuing Huo Yubai, snorted softly when he heard this. It was obvious that the pheromones of the two of them were very compatible, but the Alpha in front of him really didn't seem to show any fluctuations.
The two were very close, and although their posture could not be called ambiguous, it did exceed the social distance.
Huo Yubai grew up surrounded by Alphas and had no idea how to get along with Omegas.
"Colonel?"
A cold voice broke the deadlock in the conversation between the two. Min Ran turned his head and saw that it was Huo Yubai's Beta follower.
"Talia is looking for you."
Ji He lied without blushing or beating his heart, and then gave Mr. Min a polite smile.
"oh."
Colonel Huo did not suspect anything and said "Excuse me" to Min Ran, then left with Ji He.
"Since the colonel is not available to accompany me on my base tour, why not let Sergeant Ji do it instead?"
After all, he had just rejected someone else, and Huo Yubai didn't want to go too far, so he agreed to Min Ran's request.
"Sergeant Ji, I am sorry to have delayed your continued communication."
"will not."
Rather than staying there and being asked questions, Ji He thought it would be better to walk with the Omega.
"Mr. Min, is there any place in particular you want to visit?"
"It's all right. I just want to get some fresh air."
"Where do you work, just following the Colonel?"
“I think this should answer your question.”
"At present, I mainly work in the control center and also train new soldiers. When the colonel needs me, I obey his orders and complete the corresponding tasks."
Ji He smiled slightly, and the corners of his eyes gradually narrowed into a line from the end of his eyes, like a stroke of thick ink leaving a mist on the paper.
Min Ran looked at the man and found that he had very long eyelashes. At first glance, his appearance was not eye-catching, but the more he looked at him, the more pleasing he found him.
"Then you must know the Colonel well."
Ji He's throat choked up, not knowing what to say, and he was obviously in a difficult situation.
“No.”
"Do you know what he likes and what he doesn't like?"
Ji He, who was walking in front, led Min Ran to various places for inspection. Instead of answering, he asked, "Why do you ask this, Mr. Min?"
Min Ran replied generously: "Because I want to pursue him."
Ji He was stunned, and the subtle expression that flashed across his face was caught by Min Ran.
Min Ran suddenly came up with a bold guess and continued to test, "I think Colonel Huo and I are a good match in every way."
"He is just averse to marriage right now. Once he figures it out, he will naturally come to his senses."
"Alpha and Omega are meant to be together, aren't they?"
Seeing that Ji He's expression, which was trying hard to restrain himself, was beginning to crack, Omega decided to give him another strong dose of medicine.
"Ji He, do you know how compatible our pheromones are?"
"How many?"
Min Ran whispered softly, touching his thin lips, and said, "86%, almost 90%."
Although Ji He is a Beta, he also knows a little about the physiology of Alpha and Omega.
An 86% match is enough to make an Alpha fall in love, and once marked, it is difficult to turn back.
If Huo Yubai had met Min Ran instead of himself during his susceptible period, the Omega would probably have been marked from the inside out.
"Sergeant Ji, is this the control center? Can I go visit?"
Ji He was left behind by Min Ran, who was curious about everything, and walked forward quickly.
"Mr. Min."
Metis seemed to be about to go out, and almost bumped into the newcomer. He looked up at Ji He behind Omega and asked, "Who is this?"
"This is Mr. Min from the Michael Foundation."
Omegas are rarely seen in the federal base. Metis looked at the man for a few more times and said calmly, "Hello, I'm Metis."
"It's a very fitting name for you, Lady Metis."
As Min Ran spoke, he reached out to the bionic robot in front of him, gently lifted the other's hand, and lowered his head to kiss his own fingers covering the fair skin.
People in the army usually call her Metis and do not treat her with such noble etiquette. Even fewer people call her Madam, as if she is not an artificial intelligence but a real human being.
Metis raised her eyebrows slightly. The last time she heard the title Ms. Metis was in the letter transformed by the virus.
"Nice to meet you."
The two exchanged a brief glance.
"Me too."
Ji He on the side reminded: "Mr. Min, the control center has authority, it is not convenient for me to take you in, we should go back."
Min Ran withdrew his gaze from Metis, nodded cooperatively, and said, "Then let's go back."
The social gathering had not yet ended. When Colonel Huo found Talia according to what Ji He said, the female Alpha showed a confused expression.
"Colonel, why are you back so soon? I thought you were on a date."
"I'm not dating him."
Colonel Huo was a little stressed when he heard this word. He should have been on a date with Ji He instead of being in this strange relationship.
"No, then no."
Talia didn't understand why this man suddenly got so angry, so she picked up the candy in the glass jar, put it in her mouth and started chewing.
Ji He and Min Ran walked in one after the other and heard Talia yell, "The red rope game is about to begin."
All the men and women present were assigned a red thread, and the tangled ball of thread was in Talia's hands.
