Pei Ji suddenly chuckled.
"Why does this sound like a marriage proposal?"
With this princess hug pose, it looks even more like it.
"I'm not kidding you." Shen Que said in a serious tone.
Pei Ji looked at him deeply and asked, "What if I refuse?"
Shen Que said lightly: "Then I won't eat tonight."
Pei Ji's mouth twitched.
"You're not proposing, you're forcing marriage."
He placed the Omega back into the nest filled with his scent, leaning on the armrest and looking down at him.
"You still think your combat awareness is fine, right?" Shen Que's voice contained a hint of reprimand.
"I'm an admiral of the Fourth Fleet, and I've won many battles my way, baby."
Pei Ji's eyes also became serious.
"Maybe I don't have as brilliant a record as you, but I haven't failed either."
"Lu Sirang is someone who likes to sacrifice in exchange for absolute victory, but I am not."
"There hasn't been a significant death rate in my fleet since he left."
"What about your own damage? How many times after each battle did your damage be 0?" Chen Que asked.
Pei Ji frowned, "I said it's not important..."
“This is very important.”
Shen Que interrupted him.
"I know how Lu Sirang treated you. I've checked the computer records."
Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "It's convenient to have the Queen as your backer."
Shen Que's eyes were blazing, as if he could see through everything about Pei Ji.
"He gave you the most difficult mission, asking you to go into the insect lair alone and fight against thousands of insects by yourself."
"He gave you a time limit. He told you to eliminate the S-rank female insect in ten minutes, otherwise the other teams sent elsewhere would be wiped out."
There was a tremor in his voice.
"He's using the lives of other soldiers to force you."
Pei Ji: "That's because I can..."
"You still think he did the right thing, right?" Shen Que asked coldly.
"I never felt like he was doing the right thing."
Pei Ji lowered his voice.
"When we were exterminating the worms on White Sand Planet, I clearly gave him the exact location, but he still let Luo Yuan and his team die, just for his own foolproof reasons."
"Lu Sirang's goal is to become the commander-in-chief. To achieve this, he doesn't care about anything else but the results and victory."
Pei Ji lowered his body, knelt on one knee, changed his perspective from looking down to looking up, and looked into the cold and beautiful eyes like the deep moonlight.
"But he's not even one ten-thousandth as good as you."
He suddenly smiled bitterly: "It would have been better if I had met you first."
——But I was here first.
The corners of Shen Que's lips trembled as he suppressed the emotions surging in his heart.
He held Pei Ji's hand and stroked the scar on the palm of Alpha's right hand.
"He also left this for you."
The hideous crack was like the twisted scar that man left in Pei Ji's subconscious.
"You still treat yourself like that after he left."
After Lu Sirang was transferred from the Fourth Fleet, although the individual soldier death rate dropped sharply, Pei Ji was still the person with the highest combat record among the seven fleets.
He alone can fight against more than a dozen individual soldiers and kill more than ten times as many insects as others.
He still entered the insect nest alone.
Cruel and fierce, he always keeps to himself.
"I'm used to it," Pei Ji said, "and I'm sure I won't die."
"But you will get hurt." Shen Que took a deep breath.
"Your Excellency, First Class Admiral, perhaps I should remind you that you are different now than you were before."
A trace of confusion flashed across Pei Ji's eyes.
"You have an Omega now, you can't have him at home... I worry every day about whether you're injured."
Pei Ji's heartbeat quickened. "So... are you worried about whether I'm injured?"
"Why do you think I didn't have dinner?" Shen Que asked indifferently, curled up in the nest he had built.
Pei Ji was silent for a while, his expression changed several times, and suddenly he showed a very complicated smile.
"Listen, baby."
He shook the Omega's hand back, his tone unusually gentle.
"You're experiencing these symptoms now because you're addicted to pheromones. Once you're cured, you won't have to worry about these things anymore."
"What does this have to do with pheromones?" Shen Que frowned and asked, "Without pheromones, I can't worry about my husband?"
Pei Ji's heart skipped a beat at the word "husband". "That's not what I meant...it's just..."
Shen Que interrupted him: "Is it because I have no mental strength that you think I am not worthy of you now?"
Pei Ji blurted out: "How could I possibly feel that way?!"
He muttered, "I'm not good enough for you."
The air stagnated for a moment.
"Can I try?" Pei Ji sighed resignedly.
He knew that if he didn't give Shen Que a result today, he really wouldn't have to eat dinner.
"But I might disappoint you. You know, I have my own reasons for developing this fighting style. Perhaps I'm just cut out for it."
He was born like this, arrogant, cruel and undisciplined. Lu Sirang might have also realized this.
"Give me some trust." Shen Que leaned forward and placed his right hand on Pei Ji's chest, where his heart was.
"Soldier."
"I know how to best use your madness."
"As you command." Pei Ji grabbed his hand and kissed it. "I will resist turning off the headset while you're talking."
"So, can we go eat now?"
…
Of course, the adjustment process was not smooth, and from that day on, there were quarrels every day in the training ground.
