Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Stop Fighting
A hint of gunpowder began to fill the air. Even Chen Luan, who couldn't sense pheromones, looked over and noticed the strange atmosphere between the three people.
"Assistant Chen!"
The girl behind Qin Yang looked at Chen Luan with sparkling eyes, and her excited voice drew Chen Luan's attention.
She stepped forward generously: "I'm Qin Yue, I often hear my brother mention you!"
"Mentioning me?" Chen Luan laughed, took off his gloves, and shook the girl's hand. "Why? They said there's a teaching assistant at school who likes to assign lethal amounts of homework without regard for the students' lives?"
"No! My brother really admires you!" The girl shook her head repeatedly: "He told me that you are the best and most powerful mecha teacher in the whole military academy.
—Hmm! Hmm?”
"Cough, cough——" Qin Yang cleared his throat vigorously, held Qin Yue's head, and covered the girl's smacking mouth: "Well..."
He looked up at the sky: "Is it going to rain soon?"
Chen Luan looked at the clear sky, then at Qin Yang who looked a little embarrassed, but did not expose the truth.
"Let's go, it's hot outside, get in the car first."
He took out his car keys and looked at Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling: "What would you like to eat for dinner?"
Jiang Xun lowered his eyes obediently: "I'm fine with anything."
Jiang Ling rested her head on her arms and glanced at Qin Yang who was walking in front of her in a neat military uniform, and then looked at Chen Luan who was wearing a white military dress.
Tsk, they are dressed like a couple.
So annoying.
He curled his lips and said, "Eat fried rice vinegar with aged vinegar."
The next second, Jiang Ling had a sugar-roasted chestnut on his forehead.
"Where did you learn such a strange dish? If you want to eat it, go eat it yourself."
I’m eating and eating. I’m almost full.
Jiang Ling secretly gritted her teeth, wishing she could poke a hole in the back of the head of the alpha in front of her with her eyes.
Then he saw the alpha turned around, revealing an even more disgusting face:
"I know a hotpot place that's delicious. Yueyue has been clamoring to go there before. Do you want to join us?"
"Really? Really? Let's go eat hot pot today! Great!" Qin Yue jumped up while pulling his brother's sleeve.
She turned around and looked at Chen Luan with her bright eyes: "Come on, come on, it's more lively with more people! It's really delicious! I promise!"
Chen Luan didn't agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling and asked, "What do you think?"
The twins were secretly competing with Qin Yang in front of them with pheromones. When they heard Chen Luan's question, they were about to turn around to look at him, but they were met with Qin Yang's slightly amusement-filled gaze.
Jiang Xun looked back calmly, but his light amber pupils gradually darkened.
Jiang Ling narrowed her eyes and looked at Qin Yang for two seconds, then suddenly raised the corners of her lips.
His eyes were fixed on Qin Yang's without moving. He tilted his eyes upwards without any emotion, revealing half of his sharp canine teeth. "Eat. Why not eat?"
Qin Yue's eyes moved around her brother's face, then swept over Jiang Ling and Jiang Xun's eyes, and finally landed on Chen Luan.
The girl blinked as if she suddenly realized something, then smacked her lips and silently took out a barrier patch from her schoolbag and slapped it on the back of her neck.
In the war between high-level alphas, it would be better for her, a fragile omega, to pretend to be blind.
Chen Luan's car was parked a little further away. Several people walked over in the hot wind, and sweat began to appear on Chen Luan's forehead.
He took off his hat, took off his uniform jacket and draped it over the back of the seat. He then unbuttoned the cuffs of his white shirt and rolled it up to his elbows, revealing his beautifully muscular forearms. He opened the car door and asked, "Who's going to sit in the front seat?"
The three alphas present looked at each other and no one moved.
But you can see from their eyes that no one can sit down.
Chen Luan leaned against the car and folded his arms, not understanding what the three beasts in front of him meant. "Huh? Is my passenger seat a tiger bench? Will it eat people?"
So, in a place where Chen Luan could not perceive, the three pheromones collided with each other again.
"I'll sit, I'll sit. I'll sit."
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Qin Yue covered the back of his neck and quietly rolled his eyes. He squeezed out from the gap between Qin Yang and Jiang Ling, opened the car door neatly, and plopped into the passenger seat.
Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. If you keep hitting me, I won’t be able to bear the barrier patch anymore!
The three alphas immediately stopped moving.
Jiang Ling glanced at Qin Yang with a half-smile and went into the back row first.
Then came Jiang Xun.
Qin Yang was the last one to get on the bus.
The air outlet of the car's air conditioner brought bursts of cool air, and the raised windows blocked the hot temperature. Several people immediately felt much refreshed.
Chen Luan drove there according to the address Qin Yang gave.
Qin Yue sat in the passenger seat and glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Jiang Ling rested her elbows on the car window, looking out the window with headphones on.
Jiang Xun lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on Chen Luan's wrist gripping the steering wheel.
Qin Yang didn't say anything. He looked down at the metal fidget spinner in his hand, which was spinning around.
The three alphas seemed to be keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other, but in fact they had been fighting each other for a long time.
The pheromones of high-level alphas pushed each other in the narrow space inside the car, which made Qin Yue feel a little uncomfortable and the fire of gossip was also burning.
What should she do? Her brother seems to be trapped in a strange Shura field?
The eerily quiet atmosphere in the car continued until we got off.
The hot pot restaurant seemed to be doing good business, but it was not noisy and was clean.
The waiter led the five people to a square table by the window. As soon as Chen Luan sat down, the seats on both sides were quickly occupied by Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling respectively.
Qin Yang said nothing and sat down opposite Chen Luan naturally.
Qin Yue looked left and right, then sat next to her brother.
Chen Luan glanced at the twins who were squeezed in with him, then looked at the empty side and said, "How about one of you two sit over there? It's a bit crowded."
"don't want."
"No."
The two people said in unison.
Jiang Xun looked at the air-conditioning vents at the back: "The air-conditioning over there will blow towards my head, which can easily cause a headache. It will be better here."
Jiang Ling folded her arms and leaned half of her body against Chen Luan, raising her chin towards Qin Yang across from her as if in protest: "If Jiang Xun doesn't go, I won't go either."
Qin Yang's eyes swept across the two young men's faces and he took a sip of warm water.
Qin Yue smiled with his eyes curved.
Chen Luan raised his hand and looked over there, feeling a little confused.
Is the temperature okay?
Okay, if you guys don’t go, I’ll go.
Chen Luan stood up and sat over.
Jiang Ling froze as he was about to pour some water.
Jiang Xun: “…”
So the people closest to Chen Luan became Jiang Ling and Qin Yang.
Like Chen Luan, Qin Yang, who had taken off his uniform jacket and was only wearing a shirt, glanced at Jiang Xun's face vaguely and met the boy's cold eyes.
Ah, judging from the feeling of pheromones, the other party is in a very low mood right now.
So Qin Yang looked away as if nothing had happened, lowered his eyes and drank water again.
The pot soon began to simmer with steam, and the dishes were slowly served.
The soup base was fragrant and the ingredients were fresh enough, so a few people simply clinked glasses.
——It’s just that some people are only concerned with making a living, while others have their own ulterior motives.
Except for Qin Yue and Chen Luan, the other three alphas ate the hot pot like arsenic, and they were trying to trip each other up all the way.
The consequence was that the three people had to be quick to get what they wanted to eat, otherwise it would be "accidentally" knocked away by others, and the hot food piled up on the messy plates and they couldn't even finish it.
When Qin Yang once again used the serving chopsticks to try to pick up a piece of coriander beef for Chen Luan, the chopsticks were blocked.
Jiang Xun calmly put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth slowly: "He doesn't eat coriander."
"Then change another one." Qin Yang calmly withdrew his hand and looked at Chen Luan: "Fennel fried dough sticks?"
Before Chen Luan could open his mouth to speak, a small fried dough stick that Jiang Ling had picked up was placed on the plate.
The small fried dough sticks were teetering on the top of the mountain.
He looked at his already overloaded plate: "?"
Putting down his chopsticks, he asked, "Do you three have a grudge against this plate?"
Qin Yang raised his eyes: "Hmm?"
Jiang Xun lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Ling was adding a drink to Chen Luan's cup: "Huh?"
"Otherwise, why do you look like you can't wait to crush it?"
Chen Luan picked up the small twist and bit it, then leaned back in his chair with his arms folded. "Or are you planning to starve me to death and inherit my mortgage?"
"Puff—cough." Qin Yue laughed out loud and choked on the juice that he didn't have time to swallow.
The three alphas' gazes converged on her.
Qin Yue: "..."
hiss.
She wiped her mouth and said, "Ah, well. Can I go to the bathroom?"
Three minutes later, Qin Yue, who was a little drunk on eating melon, bumped into Qin Yang at the sink.
"elder brother."
Qin Yue sneaked up to Qin Yang, bent over, and looked at him with blinking eyes: "Do you like Assistant Chen?"
Qin Yang, who was drying his hands, raised his hands and rubbed Qin Yue's head twice. He did not answer Qin Yue's question: "Are you full?"
"Which kind of eating are you talking about? Eating melons or eating rice?" Qin Yue squinted his eyes and laughed: "You haven't answered me yet."
"Why are you asking so many questions?" Qin Yang turned around and was about to leave.
"I saw it all. Brother, that's Assistant Teacher Chen on your phone screensaver, right?" Qin Yue followed him.
"Jiang Ling and Jiang Xun also like Assistant Chen, don't they—hmmmm?"
Before she could finish her words, Qin Yue's mouth was pinched flat by her brother.
Qin Yang glanced cautiously towards Chen Luan and made a "hush" gesture to Qin Yue helplessly.
"Oh——" The girl opened her eyes wide, looked understanding, and smiled cunningly.
She also lowered her voice and whispered in Qin Yang's ear, "Secret love?"
Qin Yang sighed, grabbed his sister's pigtail and gently pulled her away: "Eat your meal, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
"If you don't deny it, you're agreeing."
Qin Yue's eyes curved into crescents, and she reached out to pull her brother's sleeve: "If you like him, why don't you confess? What if he ends up with someone else and leaves you with regrets?"
Qin Yang's figure froze for a moment before he turned around again. He rested his hands on his knees, bent down and looked at Qin Yue with a serious look in his eyes: "Yueyue, you know I want to go to the fleet, right?"
"I know." Qin Yue nodded, a little confused: "I have always known that mother is your role model, but what does this have to do with you confessing your love to the person you like?"
The alpha's inky black eyes slowly curved upwards. He raised his hand to ruffle his sister's hair, his gaze softening. "Working in the fleet is dangerous. If I don't come back, he'll be sad."
The girl blinked slightly.
After a moment, a clear voice sounded:
"But if you really can't come back, he won't even know you loved him." She looked into her brother's eyes: "Wouldn't that be even more regrettable?"
Qin Yang was stunned for half a second, then lowered his head and smiled: "Little girl, you have a lot of truths."
He rubbed Qin Yue's head silently, but his eyes seemed to be out of focus and looked somewhere unknown. He said softly: "...It's better than making him sad."
"But you are his student. Even if you don't confess your feelings to him, he will still be very sad when the time comes."
"Besides, my brother is so powerful, how could he not come back?" Qin Yue raised her chin, poked her brother's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Admit it, brother, you are a coward."
“…”
Qin Yang was silent for a moment.
But then he nodded again and spread his hands towards Qin Yue: "Okay, I am indeed."
The next moment, his head was covered by a hand.
Qin Yue muttered something like a spell with her eyes closed, then opened her eyes and smiled: "I just communicated with Areta, the goddess of courage, and she said she has given you courage!"
She patted her brother's broad and strong shoulders: "Go after her bravely, brother!"
"Keep your voice down."
Qin Yang tapped the girl on the head. "Courage received. Did you ask if Goddess Arete would like a cold drink?"
"The goddess said she's on a diet and doesn't drink sweet water. But today we had a happy hot pot, so I can make an exception and have a glass of iced Coke!"
"A large cup?"
"Super, super, super-large cup!"
After dinner, Qin Yang took Qin Yue to say goodbye to Chen Luan and the others, and took a taxi back.
At this time, the sun had completely set behind the mountain, and the sky had turned into a dull blue. A refreshing breeze blew over, and it was finally not as hot and humid as it had been in the afternoon.
Chen Luan got in the car and turned on the air conditioner: "Shall I take you back to Jiang's house?"
"No." Jiang Ling frowned as Jiang Xun got the first seat on the passenger seat. She had no choice but to open the back door. "The old man is at home today. I don't want to go back. I'm annoyed just seeing him."
"Then let's go to my place." Chen Luan started the car, his bony fingers gripping the black steering wheel, his skin as white as a piece of cold jade. "But I only have two rooms over there, so you two have to decide who will sleep on the sofa tonight."
He smoothly drove the car out of the parking space and glanced at Jiang Ling in the rearview mirror, who was frowning. He was a little amused: "What's wrong with you? You look like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Is the hot pot not delicious?"
But before Jiang Ling could answer, Jiang Xun's light voice came from the side:
"Brother, do you like Qin Yang very much?"
