Chapter 147 Dark Star's Long Radiance [End of Main Text]
The phone rang, and Lin Yao reached out to answer it, only to feel intense pain all over his body.
"Brother Yao, there's a shooting star tonight, wanna come watch it together?" He Li drawled, "If you and Xie Xingchen don't show up soon, the whole military region will know about your seven-day saga..."
"What?" Lin Yao felt a splitting headache, as if he had blacked out, and he couldn't recall many details.
All I remember is that bastard Xie Xingchen, who was unrestrained and did whatever he wanted.
After being permanently marked, AOs will develop a stronger connection, and when the two are both in a special period, it's simply... insane.
Aside from mealtimes and intermittent sleep, every corner of the house was visited.
On the other end of the phone, He Li was still chattering away, praising how big and spectacular tonight's meteor shower would be. Lin Yao said in a hoarse voice, "Send me the time and address, then I'm hanging up."
He didn't want to say another word. He threw his phone aside, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw that annoying face.
Xie Xingchen looked very refreshed and leaned over to kiss him, but before he could get close, he was slapped hard across the face.
Lin Yao made no attempt to hide his anger and started cursing him: "I was right about you back then. Alphas who can't control their pheromones are all dogs in heat."
They said seven days, but they really didn't give anyone a single day of rest.
Xie Xingchen looked excited, as if he had just had a good beating. He lowered his head and gave him a hard kiss on the lips, helping him recall: "You hit me like this last night too."
Lin Yao: ".........."
Xie Xingchen leaned down to look at him, rubbing his finger against the corner of his eye: "You even cried, begging me."
Lin Yao: ".........."
Xie Xingchen stared into his beautiful eyes, recalling his misty and coquettish appearance at the time, and described it in more detail: "You looked so pitiful, with a red nose. When you cry... you look really beautiful."
To prevent him from saying anything that would make him blush, Lin Yao couldn't take it anymore and kicked him off the bed.
Xie Xingchen sat on the ground, propped his chin up, and looked at him with a smile, praising, "Your physical fitness is very good, Lieutenant Colonel Lin. You can even kick people. How about we extend it for three more days?"
Lin Yao, expressionless, gave him a single word: "Get lost."
It's all just a facade. Omegas are naturally at a disadvantage in these matters, especially when they're marked for life, like being branded.
If you try to hide, you'll be pulled back, endlessly.
Xie Xingchen placed the small table over and laid out the dishes one by one. This was how he had been eating for the past few days. He was fed and put on the table, and even the soup had to be poured for him. He had been treated like a baby who couldn't take care of himself.
"It smells delicious. I queued for two hours to buy it." Xie Xingchen picked up a piece and held it to his lips, coaxing him softly, "Take a bite."
Lin Yao didn't care about the food; although his expression was sour, his mouth remained obediently open.
The broth is rich and delicious.
Just as he swallowed, Xie Xingchen held his fingers and kissed him, whispering, "Let me have a taste too."
Lin Yao: "......"
Someone harbored ulterior motives and had multiple affairs.
He Li sent the message at 9 PM, and before he knew it, it was time to leave. Lin Yao changed his clothes three times, but he still couldn't hide the bite marks on his neck, so he decided to just give up.
"How about we put on a band-aid?" Xie Xingchen suggested gently.
"Forget it, a couple disappearing together for seven days is just asking for trouble and will only make them more likely to be ridiculed." Lin Yao looked at the culprit. "Have you ever seen someone with five stickers on their neck?"
Xie Xingchen held his cold face in her hands, finding it pleasing to the eye, and then lowered her head to kiss him.
He said apologetically, "I told you before that my illness can be fatal during my susceptible period. Plus, you're so enthusiastic, I couldn't control myself."
After being marked for life, Omegas should be more dependent on Alphas, but it seems the opposite is true for them. Xie Xingchen is always by their side, following them everywhere they go.
Lin Yao coldly declared, "Next time this happens, I'll immediately join the team for a month of training, isolate myself, and please do not disturb me."
In other words, he's just being stubborn, Xie Xingchen thought to himself.
After all, Lin Yao was so obedient at that time; his resistance was like a cat scratching him, both stubborn and alluring.
When they arrived at the beach, there were already quite a few people scattered around, and it was very noisy. He Li stood up and waved to them: "This way! We got the best view!"
Saying such things in a crowded place really shows a lack of fear of getting beaten up.
When Lin Yao arrived, he found that they were the last to arrive. Besides He Li and Cheng Boyan, his elder brother and sister-in-law were also there. The four pairs of eyes looked down at him, very directly, with undisguised mockery.
He Li's eyes widened in amazement. "Wow, is this the result of seven days of battle?"
Cheng Boyan: "Like wolves and tigers."
Xie Yunhuai: "Dry wood and raging fire."
Jiang Qiran: "Heinous and insane."
Lin Yao forced himself to sit down and took the binoculars from He Li's hand to change the subject: "Can we see anything from here? What time does it start?"
"Xie Xingchen looks really intense, is it fun?" He Li asked bluntly, "It looks even more intense than last time."
Lin Yao: ""
Fortunately, it was dark, so the flushed cheeks couldn't be seen.
Several other Alphas present coughed violently at the same time, and Cheng Boyan had no choice but to remind him of a common sense: "For an Alpha to ask an Omega this kind of question is comparable to sexual harassment."
"Oh, right, sorry, I always forget that Yao-ge is an omega." He Li silently moved a little distance to the side. "Never mind, I didn't ask."
Xie Xingchen said slowly and deliberately, "If you hadn't asked this question, I would have already crippled you."
As a fellow Alpha, He Li instantly felt the oppressive aura emanating from his own kind, trembling as he looked up at the sky: "Ah, let's think about what wishes we can make when a shooting star appears later."
Cheng Boyan glanced at him: "You can't say your wish."
"What do you want to wish for?" He Li leaned closer to look at him. "We're both Alphas, so this doesn't count as sexual harassment, does it?"
Cheng Boyan's throat bobbed slightly: "No, that doesn't count."
Jiang Qiran said meaningfully, "Forget it, you got that close. If you had come any closer, you would have forcibly kissed her."
He Li looked bewildered: "Really? We often talk like that."
Xie Xingchen turned her head and whispered in her boyfriend's ear, "With He Li's brain, will he even be able to fall in love at eighty?"
Lin Yao's lips curved into a smile: "If someone makes a wish, maybe a shooting star can help speed things up."
"You believe in these things now?" Xie Xingchen asked.
"I believe." Lin Yao looked up at the sky, his voice soft. "If you always have a wish in your heart, it will eventually come true."
Xie Xingchen looked at his profile in the moonlight and asked, "So, have you decided what your wish is this time?"
Actually, it seems like I don't have any desires anymore.
With family, loved ones, and friends around, asking for more would seem greedy.
A commotion arose in the distance; screams erupted, and amidst the clamor, everyone turned to look at the sky: "A shooting star is coming!!!"
Suddenly, a star streaked across the once pitch-black sky, followed by a shower of light trailing its tail as it fell.
Everyone closed their eyes, looking very devout. Lin Yao also put his hands together and silently prayed in his heart.
"I hope Xie Xingchen will be safe, well, and happy forever."
"I hope Xie Hengzhi and Yunqing are happy in another world."
"I hope Xie Dai can come back. I really miss him."
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a pink wing flapping in the distance on the sea, flying towards me from afar across the boundless waves, as if it had traveled thousands of miles from Wishing Island.
"Thank you!!!" Lin Yao shouted before he could even tell if it was a hallucination.
The bird drew closer until it was right in front of me, landed on my palm, and looked up, saying, "Would you be willing to form a master-pet relationship with me? I will be loyal to you forever."
Lin Yao's eyes were red-rimmed. He turned to look at Xie Xingchen, bewildered, and asked, "What does this mean?"
"I've tried my best to repair it, but formatting will erase all memories. It... has managed to retain its original personality, which is the best I can do."
Xie Xingchen comforted her, "It's okay, we still have a long future together."
"Would you like to form a relationship with me?"
"Sure."
Please give your pet a name.
"Thanks, buddy."
"You and Xie Dai are bound together in a master-pet relationship, and it will be forever loyal to you. When you unilaterally unbind, it will enter suicide mode with all your information, ensuring absolute confidentiality."
After the mechanical sound ended, the incredibly familiar voice rang out again.
"What are you two doing holding hands? Wow, that neck full of hickeys! Your Alpha is so fierce!!!" Xie Dai exclaimed in surprise, "Is it fun?"
"It was so awesome!" Lin Yao said with tears in his eyes, smiling as he introduced, "I'm Lin Yao, and this is Xie Xingchen. Long time no see, Xie Da."
"Thank you, I love you all." It made a big heart shape with its pink wings.
"My dear baby, I'll never hit you again, waaaaaah!" He Li grabbed the dog with tears streaming down his face and started rambling on about the past, making a huge fuss.
Lin Yao, however, felt that this was the best kind of noise in the world.
He looked up at the sky and saw that dim star that flickered whenever he was in a bad mood, even amidst a sky full of shooting stars, it was both dim and bright.
He whispered, "Xie Xingchen, you have always been the god who helped me fulfill my wishes."
Xie Xingchen smiled slightly: "Right? I think so too."
"You get all high and mighty after I just say a few words of praise." Lin Yao glanced at him, stared at the star, and said slowly, "I've always wanted to ask you, a few years ago, when you told me that there was a secret hidden on the star you bought, was that just a casual remark or was it true?"
Xie Xingchen didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly, as if he was considering whether to speak.
The silence that lasted a few seconds told Lin Yao the answer: "It's not nonsense, right?"
"No, that star was bought the moment I realized I liked you." Xie Xingchen swiped his phone and opened a special interface with a lot of dense text on it.
"I type in text, and it converts it into code and saves it, so every time it flashes, it can be seen as my confession."
Lin Yao recalled countless late nights in the past when he looked up at the sky and saw the stars twinkling. It turned out that Xie Xingchen really had given an answer.
"May I take a look?"
"Look, but don't cry after you see it." Xie Xingchen raised his hand and ruffled his hair. "It's Xie Xingchen's, a diary of unrequited love."
Lin Yao lowered his eyes and turned the date back to that moment seven years ago. His heart ached, and he couldn't imagine what Xie Xingchen was feeling when he typed those words.
"I chose a star that is very close to the sun, because I want to be closer to you."
"Happy birthday."
"You're being mean to me again. Do you hate me that much?"
"Why are you still angry? I've been blocked."
"Happy birthday."
"This is the seventh time I've replied, and Lin Yao says he hates me again. I'm a little sad."
........
"You said you didn't want to see me after graduation, so I'll go see you."
"Happy birthday."
"I'm really awful. I used my pheromones to make a deal with you. You must hate me even more now, but I can't help it. I can't bear to see you in pain."
"It was the first time we held hands, I had to coax and cajole him, I was so nervous."
"When I was drunk, I said that someone would love you more than anything, but I'm a coward, and I don't even dare to say your name."
"I'm having an attack, and I'm afraid to get close to you, afraid you'll push me away."
......
"You said you liked me, it felt like a dream. Three years have passed, and I've finally received your response."
"If you've given me a ring, then we'll never be apart. We'll always be together."
"It seems like fate always likes to play tricks on me. I saw the report; it turns out I was the one who caused your painful past. Yao Yao, will you hate me?"
"I don't want to leave, but I have no right to stay. I'm afraid that seeing me will remind you of the past. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"I bought a jar of orange-flavored candy. Will you think of me when you eat it? Please, please think of me."
......
Happy birthday, this is the first time I'm not by your side.
"I secretly went to see you. I looked so cool when I was sniping. I didn't dare let you see me, because I was afraid you would cry."
"My teammate is in a relationship, but all I can do every day is chat with your alarm clock. I miss you so much."
Happy birthday, another year has passed.
"Joint operations, finally I see you! You told me the code, I've been so happy for so long."
I dreamt of you again last night, and I really wanted to hug you.
Happy birthday, I still couldn't be with you today.
"Yaoyao, we've been apart for so long, do you no longer love me? It's so hard to finally fall in love with you, why is it so difficult?"
"I want to see you. I dreamt that you didn't want me anymore, Yao Yao, don't leave me."
......
"Thank you for waiting for me all this time."
"Yaoyao, I'm in so much pain. On one side is my family, and on the other is you. I can't choose."
"Lin Yao, will you cry when you see the suicide note?"
"I'm such a bastard, a bastard who loves you. Let's be together again in our next life, okay?"
By the time Lin Yao finished reviewing the records, the shooting star in the sky had long since disappeared, leaving only that one star, hidden in the darkness, twinkling with a faint light.
For seven years, Xie Xingchen swallowed all the bitterness and pain alone, giving himself only a passionate and overwhelming love.
He wanted to respond, but at that moment he didn't know how to express it.
She could only remove the couple rings worn on her ring finger, grab Xie Xingchen's hand, and slowly push them down from the fingertip to the base.
Xie Xingchen paused, lowered his eyes, looked at their clasped hands, and asked earnestly, "Have you finally decided to marry me?"
Lin Yao's eyes welled up with tears, and his voice trembled: "Anytime."
He was still clumsy and couldn't think of any more sweet words, so he could only imitate the other person and confess his love sincerely.
"Xie Xingchen, I love you more than anything."
Xie Xingchen stared unblinkingly at the person he had liked for seven years, finally lowered his head, and leaned down to kiss his first love: "Then my secret crush has come true."
The initial spark of attraction at first sight in youth can last forever.
From this day forward...
The distant dark star shines eternally only for Lin Yao.
