Chapter 24 "Don't be fooled easily" Partners: Mutually...
Pyrus wanted Owen to disappear completely.
If he became a person without morals, he believed that he would live a better life than now, although he was already good enough now and became a decent military academy student. If he could come back from the brutal battlefield in the future, the subsidy from the Empire would allow him to live a stable life on an ordinary planet.
But his conscience would occasionally act up.
Conscience is a disease.
The heart of Pyrus told him that no matter whether Owen used him or not, Owen really treated him well and taught him how to get through the heat of passion peacefully. In the past six years, he kept the secret of his identity as Oemga.
So he was exhausted.
There was a knock on the door of the room.
"Calix, come out and eat."
Calix hid the syringe in panic, but Tang En did not come in.
Tang En always spoke with a tone of command, which was completely different from Owen. But Owen's tone of negotiation often only gave him one option to choose from; Tang En was not like that, she would mostly give him room to choose.
Calix compared Tang En and Owen in her heart.
Sure enough, his slow reaction and action did not cause Tang En's dissatisfaction. She knocked on the door and left Calix's bedroom door.
Tang En cut his steak into small pieces suitable for eating, and Calix's steak was left as it was.
Because he came out late. Tang En also garnished his plate with mint leaves.
Faced with two different presentations of food, Calus was a little confused but not too confused, and he was not particularly surprised, after all, he already had a preliminary understanding of Tang En.
When Calus was eating with a knife and fork, he felt Tang En's gaze on him.
- She was looking at him again.
Calus couldn't help but sit up straight to make himself more worth watching.
Tang En lowered her eyelashes and picked up a piece of steak with chopsticks.
She stopped looking at him, and Calus looked at her with his peripheral vision.
Her posture when eating often revealed two messages: "she doesn't like eating" and "she finds eating boring", just like her current posture, with one arm across her chest on the edge of the table, and the other hand picked up another piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into her lips.
It was as if she ate just to watch others eat.
The look in her eyes when she watched others eat was much more appetizing than when she ate herself.
Philus felt that when she watched him eat, it was the most thrilling time for him, and it made him sure that Tang En also had some romantic inclination towards him.
"Senior sister, why do you like to watch others eat?"
Philus was a little impatient.
Tang En just stopped looking at him out of politeness when she noticed his unconscious movements.
Tang En then glanced at him lightly and said, "Because this is a hobby?"
Her movements were a little lazy, and she looked at him like a black panther that had eaten its fill but still wanted to hunt for food.
Philus once again smelled the elusive danger.
Tang En looks upright but is actually a habitual liar.
She only tells lies that can quickly resolve other people's doubts.
——She has this hobby because she has never experienced the feeling of being full.
When a person feels unhappy, she may choose to eat; when a person's own wishes cannot be met, she may also choose to fill the only thing she can actively fill now: the stomach.
However, that is not called "being full".
Spiritual hunger cannot be filled by physical things.
Tang En accidentally discovered that watching other people eat, especially seeing the other person's full expression, can make her spiritually satisfied, so she naturally developed such a hobby.
Now she finally understands the joy of watching eating broadcasts.
"Then please watch me eat, senior sister." said Calus.
"Won't you feel uncomfortable?" asked Tang En.
"A little bit, but I like senior sister watching me."
Calus said boldly, but lowered his head and looked shy.
Tang En was silent for a moment. She didn't insist on making her junior fellow student uncomfortable. She once again naturally ignored Calus's confession. "Like" was just an ordinary word to express emotion.
"Let's eat." Tang En said.
After eating, Calus volunteered to take on the job of collecting the plates.
————
Calus went out the next day.
The freshman orientation would not end for a few more days.
However, he met an uninvited guest in the corridor, the Alpha son of the Minister of General Affairs, Lambert.
Phaerus still remembered the stinging tobacco-smelling pheromones of Lambert. And Lambert didn't look happy when he saw Phaerus. Lambert didn't smell of tobacco at all, but Phaerus's sensitive nose smelled a little bit of lily.
That should be the pheromone of Alicia who shared the same dormitory with him.
Phaerus' expression was a little subtle.
And Lambert was in front of him. He tore off the polite mask that he had put on, pushed Phaerus away, and walked to another dormitory door.
The one who opened the door for Lambert was not Alicia, but the girl A who stood next to Don that day .
Iris didn't seem too surprised to see Lambert. Instead, she saw Felix not far away and slightly widened her eyes, as if she was thinking about something. She nodded to him.
A few seconds later, Tang En also came out of the dormitory. Seeing the three people in the corridor, he only greeted Iris.
Iris was quite surprised, "Tang En, didn't you go to morning exercise today?"
"No, I'll go tomorrow." Tang En glanced at Lambert standing in front of Iris's door and didn't say anything else.
Iris is very good at dancing with the sleeves. She likes to make friends with the powerful and then allocate and increase the resources at hand according to their needs. She is a businessman like Alicia, but one has money flowing in his hands and the other has power flowing in his hands.
Don made sure the door was locked, and as he passed by Felix, he said, "Let's go."
She didn't care what Lambert's purpose was in looking for Iris.
They would eventually meet at the training ground.
Felix looked Lambert in the eye without fear, and followed Don.
But after leaving the sight of Lambert and Iris, Felix rubbed his shoulder.
"What's wrong with your shoulder?" Don asked.
Felix complained to Don, "Lambert just bumped into me."
"Then find a time to beat him up in private."
Don calmly said the words that violated the school rules.
Felix thought she had heard it wrong.
"Just don't let me find out."
Don added.
——This is a Tang En-style sneer.
Felix suddenly laughed, he looked very happy, which made Tang En a little puzzled.
At this time, Felix grabbed Tang En's arm. He wanted to do this a long time ago.
"Senior sister, can you be with me?"
Tang En tilted her head, she lowered her eyes to look at her junior brother who was shorter than her, touched his head with some pity, and said:
"You are still young, don't be fooled just because others are a little nice to you."
This is the first time that Felix felt that Tang En's attitude seemed a little strange when she touched him. But he had confessed his feelings many times and was ignored. This time Tang En at least gave him a relatively positive response.
This response also seemed to have a deeper meaning.
It was just an ordinary sentence, but it left a mark in Felix's heart. However, he himself did not notice it and just thought that it was a strange thing caused by the sudden physical contact.
Felix reached out and held Tang En's hand on his head, saying, "Senior sister, I'm not joking."
Felix's hand was a little cold, but Tang En's hand was warm.
Tang En simply took her hand back and said, "I know you are not joking, I just think you are not rational enough."
"The appointment time for the psychological assessment is the weekend, which is tomorrow."
