Chapter 125 Presenting a Congratulatory Gift
He Li was utterly shocked: "Ah, you don't understand this? You're so naive? Just... do it."
Xie Xingchen pretended not to understand: "Fight?"
"He's the one who... no, didn't you ever have a sex education class before?" He Li rolled her eyes. "Never mind, you don't need to know, just bear with it."
What if I explain it too clearly and scare him?
Xie Xingchen pondered for a moment, finding the topic rather surreal: "Lin Yao said that?"
He Lixin said that he couldn't dampen Yao Ge's spirit, and nodded, "Of course, you two are both Alphas, so one of you has to compromise. With your record of losing every fight, you definitely can't beat him. Just lie there and relax."
A real man doesn't try to gain an advantage through words.
Xie Xingchen covered for his Omega, who was even more Alpha than an Alpha: "Okay, I know, lie down."
He Li squinted at him for a few seconds and praised, "Not bad, your attitude adds a point to your score."
"So, may I ask, how many points do I have in total?" Xie Xingchen asked sincerely.
“Negative three points. You had accumulated five points, but because of your concealment yesterday, I deducted nine points from you.” He Li said reasonably, “I deducted three points for concealing the truth, and the remaining six points were deducted for making Brother Yao wait for you for four years.”
Actually, last night, they both tacitly skipped over why they had been separated for four years.
He Li only knew that the Alliance Leader had broken up the couple, but he didn't know about the report, let alone the intricate conspiracy. The people involved behind the scenes were all high-ranking and powerful, and innocent people couldn't be dragged into it any further.
Xie Xingchen smiled and said very modestly, "Okay, then I'll try to turn my score into a positive one as soon as possible."
"You've definitely grown up, huh? You're much better than when you were a teenager with that arrogant look on your face. You're a promising young man." He Li patted his shoulder on tiptoe. "So, how long are you two going to keep your secret relationship going?"
Xie Xingchen paused for two seconds after seeing the news that suddenly popped up, then dropped his teasing expression: "Soon."
"Have you seen the new policy?" Cheng Boyan came out of the laboratory in the next building, wearing a white lab coat, still in his uniform.
He Li leaned closer, showing no surprise at this old news: "You guys only just found out about this housing policy? It's been pushed for years, and it's only been implemented this year. People over fifty can enjoy a 5% housing subsidy. I have to say, although the Alliance Leader's character is questionable, he is indeed a good official when it comes to policy."
"See? Even He Li thinks so." Cheng Boyan clicked his tongue, very politely refraining from uttering the words "cunning old fox." "Your dad is really amazing. With the election coming up, he's won over the hearts of the people. Zhao Quan is no match for him at all, and he'll most likely be re-elected."
"Why are you two suddenly concerned about this kind of thing?" He Li wrinkled his nose. "You're not hiding something from me, are you?"
"No."
"No, really."
The two spoke in unison, which made them seem quite guilty.
He Li scrutinized him for several seconds, then looked at Lin Yao, who was training in the distance, and whispered, "Such a handsome and promising officer, apart from being an Alpha, what does your dad have to complain about? Does he really want you to have children?"
Xie Xingchen gave a slight twitch of his lips: "Who knows?"
“Alphas aren’t entirely without the possibility of conception. As long as you’re strong enough, you…” He Li glanced at him, finding it a bit strange, but still tried to speak, “Would you be willing to let Yao-ge get you pregnant?”
Xie Xingchen's gaze fell into the distance, and he said with an ambiguous meaning, "You certainly dare to think big."
Cheng Boyan reached out and covered his loose tongue: "I drank too much last night, I'm still drunk, don't hold it against a child."
"He's older than you, but he's still a kid." Xie Xingchen clicked his tongue, turned and left, "Just keep protecting him."
Cheng Boyan urged him to leave quickly.
Xie Xingchen was somewhat restless all day.
When the training camp ended in the evening, the two of them went to dinner with a group of officers. He sent a message to Lin Yao across the long table.
[xxc]: I'll go to Langzhuang by myself tonight. It's not dangerous. I'll just go check things out. Besides, I brought a gun, so nothing will happen.
【AA Baby】: I want to go
[xxc]: I don't even know who the eyeliner is; they all disappeared together, it's a bit jarring.
[AA Baby]: Leave one after the other after dinner, no one will notice.
The two were texting when they suddenly felt everyone next to them stand up. Lin Yao turned around and his gaze fell on the suit and tie. When he looked up, he saw a calm but unsettling face.
"Why are you all standing? Sit down." Xie Hengzhi said calmly, "I have some official business to discuss with the Minister of Strategy, so I came to see everyone."
Lin Yao felt a palm land on his shoulder, and the person said in a gentle tone, "Is this Lin Yao? It's been a long time. I heard you got promoted. Congratulations."
"Thank you, it's nothing." Lin Yao forced a rather awkward smile, his eyes lingering on Xie Xingchen across from him, feeling like he was being pricked by needles.
Xie Hengzhi turned to his secretary and said, "Then let's have dinner here tonight."
Lin Yao looked at him sitting opposite him, his face darkening. Could it be that he was going to drag the two of them to Langzhuang?
Has it been discovered, or is it just a carefully planned test?
"What are you doing here? Didn't we just see each other a couple of days ago?" Xie Xingchen frowned, quite annoyed that he couldn't get away now.
“I can’t visit my son too often.” Xie Hengzhi unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat down. “Besides, I also want to know about the leisure life of young officers these days, and see if there are any preferential policies. After all, soldiers work very hard and should enjoy the best treatment.”
"Of course! We couldn't be happier!" The minister beamed and quickly asked the person next to him to make room for him.
Lin Yao's palms were sweating, and he lowered his head to drink the soup in his bowl.
"What's he doing here? Is he here to break you two up again? That old man." He Li muttered indignantly, "After four years apart, he came over after only one day of seeing you. How afraid is he that you two will rekindle your old flame?"
"Watch your words," Lin Yao warned him. "Don't cause trouble."
Xie Hengzhi said calmly, "What were you all talking about just now? Continue."
Xiao Yi scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Hey, it's just the same old stuff. It's mostly about students complaining about training and dating, nothing respectable."
"Is Lin Yao in a relationship?" Xie Hengzhi suddenly asked.
The expressions of the people present changed, and even Xie Xingchen dared not speak at this moment, for fear of being discovered.
Lin Yao clenched his fist, then relaxed it, using the most effective way to dispel any suspicion: "I'm in a relationship, I have a boyfriend."
"Damn, how come I didn't know? You were hiding this so well?" Duan Zheng turned his head, looking gossipy. "Who was it?"
Lin Yao remained calm and composed, using the rumored boyfriend he had previously mentioned as an excuse, and blurted out: "Cheng Boyan."
Xie Xingchen: "........."
He sighed slightly, nudged the guy next to him with his knee, and signaled for him to come to the rescue.
He Li: ? ? ? ? ? ?
Was last night's confession session a dream? What's going on now? Huh?
Cheng Boyan immediately understood and replied calmly, "Yes, we haven't been together for very long."
"Oh? I've never heard your dad mention this before." Xie Hengzhi was surprised by this answer, his probing gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them.
Cheng Boyan smiled, showing no sign of panic: "It's not stable yet, so please don't rush to tell him."
"You two were keeping this a secret for so long, having a duo of Alphas." Duan Zheng was still shocked.
"Don't you tell your parents you're dating?" Xie Hengzhi asked, a look of suspicion on his face.
“If you want to share this with my dad, don’t mention his name. Just tell him you’re dating an Alpha. Hopefully, it won’t drive him crazy.” Cheng Bo’s tone was gentle. “Please, could you sound him out first?”
"That sounds too real," Xie Hengzhi narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that he didn't even know he was an Omega. He said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll pass it on."
He Li gasped.
No, what's going on? This tone doesn't sound fake.
Did Yao Ge and Cheng Boyan also talk?
Can the three of them talk together? Xie Gou is even willing to do this?
Oh no, I can't figure this out, I need to use my brain.
Lin Yao asked calmly, "Is the Alliance Leader satisfied with this gossip?"
Xie Hengzhi rarely showed a happy expression: "I am very satisfied. I will send you a wedding gift when you two get married."
Xie Xingchen gave a forced smile: "I'm so envious. I also want to date an Alpha, but they ignore me."
