Li Chonghe was not unaware of the inside story, and naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Cen Shen's words.
He reached out and gently touched his own smile in the mirror, a smile that had almost become muscle memory, before saying, "Do you know Jiang Yan?"
"The mecha-themed one?"
Cen Shen's tone was ambiguous, "I haven't settled the score with him for what happened last time."
Li Chonghe thought that probably no one would believe that the usually gentle and refined Professor Cen would have such a side. He moved away from the mirror and said, "Yes."
"He and your brother are probably going to team up for the competition."
Cen Shen remained silent on the other end. Li Chonghe knew that the other person was thinking, or perhaps trying to find more clues through his own channels. Finally, he heard the other person say, "You go too."
"Yes, of course I will go."
Li Chonghe walked to the side and opened the window. From his position, he could see Cen Yu in the courtyard. The other person seemed to be talking to someone on the phone, and his expression was unusually calm.
After all, in his memory, Cen Yu was always aggressive and rarely so quiet.
He leaned against the edge of the window, looking down at Cen Yu, and felt that Cen Yu at this moment seemed to overlap with the boy in his memory for a moment.
“Then you know what to do,” Cen Shen said.
“I don’t understand,” Li Chonghe said.
“Cen Yu is not suited for the Imperial Military Academy,” Cen Shen said. “His most suitable place is…”
"Is it your school?" Li Chonghe chuckled. "It's all Betas and Omegas, with only a handful of Alphas."
"Cen Yu wouldn't like that kind of place."
"That kind of place?"
"I'm sorry, it's true." Li Chonghe looked at Cen Yu in the courtyard and said, "Although I really want to help you, I have other things to do."
He knew what Cen Shen meant; this person hoped that he could get Cen Yu to drop out of school.
Alphas who enter the Imperial Military Academy must enter the battlefield after graduation... This is probably the hardest thing for Cen Shen to accept, especially since Alphas rarely have a good ending when they encounter the Zerg.
Cen Shen fell silent again.
Li Chonghe leaned against the wall, looking at Cen Yu, thinking that the other party probably didn't know that his older brother had never supported him attending the Imperial Military Academy from the beginning.
I think about getting him out of this awful place all the time.
He knew about the accident that happened to Cen Yu in the previous mecha class. At the time, he suspected that it was Cen Shen's doing, but he quickly dismissed his suspicions.
Cen Shen always wanted his younger brother to experience some minor setbacks, not to actually hurt him.
With his high level of authority, he naturally knew the other implications of that mecha accident. Someone wanted to deliberately target Cen Yu and create an accident, but the problem was that Cen Yu was extremely ordinary in terms of both family background and personality. Unless someone knew about his and Cen Shen's plan, no one would think of making a move against Cen Yu.
But Li Chonghe was confident that no one knew about their plan.
So this is strange.
After realizing that Cen Shen on the other end was unlikely to say anything more, Li Chonghe prepared to hang up the call.
"How much longer do we have?" Cen Shen suddenly asked.
"Six months," Li Chonghe said. "That's the longest it's ever taken."
“That’s enough,” Cen Shen said.
Then he hung up the phone.
Li Chonghe looked at his communicator, then tossed it aside and continued watching Cen Yu standing in the courtyard.
...
Cen Yu held the communicator.
He hadn't expected Chi Jiazhen to call him. The Imperial Military Academy was strictly managed, and students were not allowed to contact the outside world except at specific times. So when he received the news from outside, Cen Yu was quite surprised.
The fact that external messages can be received proves that the application has been approved and processed.
The story begins half an hour earlier, when, after they returned to their dormitory, the dormitory supervisors suddenly appeared.
In an instant, everyone's gaze turned to Cen Yu—
After all, statistically speaking, he is more likely to be targeted by the dormitory supervisors.
Cen Yu was still confused under the gazes of the other three. He shouldn't have done anything wrong recently, right? What if he piloted a mecha without permission? Didn't the student council already punish him?
"Senior Cen Yu?" The person from the dormitory supervisor department seemed to be a new freshman, his expression revealing his nervousness.
This was his first time visiting a senior's dorm. Before coming to the dorm, he had done a lot of mental preparation, after all, he was the Beta that Cen Yu liked to mock the most.
But when he actually saw Cen Yu, he felt that those people had demonized him!
Even though Senior Cen Yu didn't seem as scary as they said... He was pondering how to explain his purpose to Cen Yu when he heard Cen Yu immediately ask—
“Beta?” Cen Yu, true to his word, looked the junior up and down. “What does Beta want with me? I’m not familiar with Beta at all.”
"..." Beta junior's heart was shattered.
He thought to himself, "Sure enough, even the Second Prince couldn't escape the mockery, how could a mere Beta like me possibly escape it?!"
"There's an external contact request," the junior student said matter-of-factly, his broken heart concealed.
"who?"
"It's your Omega."
...Chi Jiazhen?
Cen Yu was surprised that Chi Jiazhen would contact him specifically. His expression became somewhat subtle, but this change in expression had a different meaning in the eyes of others.
Upon hearing the word "Omega," Wen Xihe's gaze turned even colder, and he silently continued lifting dumbbells in the corner.
Lan Yao smiled and asked, "Your Omega?"
"For the dormitory supervisors to approve the call, something major must have happened."
Sang Huaizhou seemed uninterested in the conversation; he was looking at the magazine in his hand, which featured various new mechs and firearms.
"Troublesome," Cen Yu said, but still followed the dormitory supervisors and temporarily left the dormitory.
As soon as he left, Wen Xihe put down the dumbbells and went straight back to her room. Sang Huaizhou also put down the magazine he was reading.
“Omega?” he repeated the word.
"Is he really an Omega?"
Lan Yao still wore a smile, but there was no sincerity in his eyes. "Don't you know?"
“Every Alpha needs an Omega’s pheromones to soothe them during their most vulnerable periods after reaching adulthood.” He mocked Sang Huaizhou’s obvious question. “Wasn’t Cen Yu’s last vacation because of his most vulnerable period?”
Sang Huaizhou certainly knew about this.
However, Cen Yu always described this Omega as "arranged by his family," "of low rank," and "from a remote planet." Sang Huaizhou had never seen any photos of this Omega, and over time, he had come to accept that this was a "fantasy Omega" made up by Cen Yu.
As for the faint Omega pheromones on Cen Yu's body when he returned from several vacations, he simply regarded them as inhibitors that mimicked Omega pheromones.
So when he realized—
After Cen Yu realized he might actually have an Omega, Sang Huaizhou's mood suddenly soured.
