Upon hearing this, Gu Zhilin turned around in surprise and looked at him: "General Lu intends to be my friend?"
“Am I not worthy?” Lu Jin’an raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not, it's just... you approached me not to make me your partner, right?"
“That doesn’t conflict with anything, and… I quite like you. To be honest, I don’t have many friends, and it’s rare to meet someone like you who suits my taste, so naturally I want to become your friend.” The aircraft was in automatic mode, so when Lu Jin’an said this, she was looking into Gu Zhilin’s eyes.
His eyes were so sincere, it was as if he were confessing his feelings.
Gu Zhilin was speechless. These were clearly touching words, but he couldn't feel moved at all: "Um... General Lu, weren't your humanities grades not very good in the past?"
“I got a perfect score in humanities,” Lu Jin’an said, frowning.
“Alright…” Gu Zhilin decided not to dwell on it anymore: “Thank you for being willing to be my friend. It’s an honor to have such an excellent friend as General Lu.”
Gu Zhilin extended his right hand towards him.
Looking at the right hand extended in front of him, Lu Jin'an was somewhat puzzled.
Seeing this, Gu Zhilin smiled and used his other hand to pull out his right hand, shaking it tightly with his own: "This is how our ancient people expressed friendship, called shaking hands, which is also a kind of etiquette."
When someone suddenly grabbed her hand, Lu Jin'an froze for a second.
No one had ever dared to touch his body casually before, but... he didn't dislike this man's touch.
The fact that the other party said it was a gesture of friendship made him feel very comfortable.
"Now that we're friends, don't always call me General Lu. You can call me by my name, Lu Jin'an."
Gu Zhilin smiled and said, "Lu Jin'an."
"Mmm." The reply was soft, but it conveyed his pleasant mood.
"It's best not to use this handshake greeting on others casually in the future," Lu Jin'an then added.
"Why?" Gu Zhilin asked, puzzled.
"You ancient people are different from us now. You know that modern people have six types of personalities, right?"
Gu Zhilin nodded: "Yes, according to modern calculations, I should be a beta."
"Well, because you're a beta, you can't smell pheromones, but that doesn't mean other people's pheromones won't stick to you. If an Alhpa with impure intentions takes advantage of a handshake to leave pheromones on you, it might cause you trouble."
Gu Zhilin seemed to understand this statement, then looked at his hands and then at Lu Jin'an.
He knew that Lu Jin'an was Alhpa.
"Don't worry, I won't release pheromones randomly; that's a basic principle." As if seeing through Gu Zhilin's thoughts, Lu Jin'an spoke up in advance.
Gu Zhilin was relieved.
The journey home was quick, and the car stopped again downstairs at Gu Zhilin's house.
The Wen brothers seemed to have spotted the flying car early on, and instead of waiting at home, they waited for him downstairs.
I saw Gu Zhilin and Lu Jin'an get out of the car together.
Wen Yili stepped forward, pulled Gu Zhilin behind him, and looked at Lu Jin'an with a wary posture.
This kid is protecting Gu Zhilin like a wolf cub, and... Lu Jin'an discovered that the other party's physical condition is not good.
Even Alhpa, who is relatively weak, dared to release pheromones in front of me.
He smiled and simultaneously released pheromones in retaliation: "What? As your neighbor, are you going to interfere with Gu Zhilin's choice of friends?"
“You’re from the military. Who knows if you’re trying to make friends or something else by getting close to Brother Zhilin?” Wen Yili retorted without backing down.
Only then did Lu Jin'an realize that although the other party's physical condition was not very good, his pheromones were not weak.
“I do have other motives, and your brother Zhilin knows that too, but what can you do if he's willing to be friends with me?” As she said this, Lu Jin’an looked up at Gu Zhilin.
Her tone seemed to carry a hint of grievance: "Just now in the car, you promised to be friends with me. You don't want to go back on your word now, do you?"
Gu Zhilin was quite surprised that the dignified Lu Jinan, a general, would act aggrieved in front of him.
But thinking about how the person in the car said he didn't actually have many friends, Gu Zhilin couldn't help but feel a little sad and nodded, saying, "Of course, if we agreed to be friends, I'll definitely treat you as a friend."
As he spoke, he patted Wen Yili on the shoulder: "Xiaoli, he's my friend, you don't need to be so nervous."
As a beta, Gu Zhilin was unaware that the two had already started a pheromone battle.
On the contrary, Wen Yifan, who was standing to the side, was about to lose his balance. He leaned against the wall to force himself to stand up: "Xiao Li, quickly turn off your pheromones."
His voice trembled as he pleaded with Lu Jin'an, "General Lu, could you please turn off your pheromones? No matter what, I'm an OEMGA, and you're doing this..."
Lu Jin'an then noticed that there was another Oemga on the other side and quickly withdrew his pheromones.
Wen Yifan felt a little better after both Alhpas simultaneously withdrew their pheromones.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Lu Jin'an apologized somewhat awkwardly.
Gu Zhilin's face turned cold: "Who was it in the car who said they wouldn't release pheromones casually?"
Feeling guilty, Lu Jin'an could only lower her head and apologize meekly: "I'm sorry, it was my fault."
He also knew that with Oemga present, it wasn't convenient for him to stay there, so he had to leave on his own: "I'll leave first. You take this gentleman home to rest. Today was my fault. I'll come to apologize next time. I'm sorry."
The man's humble attitude left no room for criticism, so Gu Zhilin didn't say much.
Moreover, Wen Yifan did not really blame the other party for this, after all, it was his younger brother who released the pheromones first.
Alhpa has difficulty controlling itself when faced with provocative pheromones from another Alhpa.
After Lu Jin'an left, Gu Zhilin and Wen Yili took Wen Yifan back to the Wen family's room.
“Xiao Li, the other party is a general, a three-star general, a rising star of the Earth Alliance. You can’t provoke him like this.” Wen Yifan looked at his younger brother with concern.
But Wen Yili was unconvinced: "He clearly has ulterior motives towards Zhilin."
Hearing this, Gu Zhilin couldn't help but tap the other person on the head: "What are you thinking, kid? He just needs a partner and wants me to be his partner."
"Partner? Lu Jin'an's partner?" Wen Yifan asked in surprise, "So the person General Lu mentioned in today's interview as a potential partner is you?"
Gu Zhilin nodded honestly: "He came to me yesterday about this matter, but I refused."
"You refused? My God, Gu Zhilin, do you even know what you refused? So many people in this Earth Alliance want to be Lu Jin'an's partner but don't have the chance, and you actually refused." Wen Yifan was so surprised that she couldn't shut up.
