When Cen Yu woke up again, he saw Chi Jiazhen sitting by the hospital bed peeling an apple.
"I don't like eating apples," Cen Yu stated.
Chi Jiazhen put down the fruit knife. "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."
Cen Yu didn't want to eat anything. He looked down at his hospital gown and could feel that the wound on his thigh had been bandaged. Alphas have amazing recovery abilities, and he couldn't feel much pain anymore.
It was from Chi Jiazhen that Cen Yu learned he had been unconscious for two days.
During this time, the cleanup work had been completed, and Li Chonghe had truly become the sole heir. The Second Prince was overjoyed, but Li Chonghe's attitude remained unclear.
"What do you mean by 'ambiguous attitude'?" Cen Yu asked.
Chi Jiazhen pondered for a moment, "It means he doesn't intend to inherit the throne immediately."
Cen Yu didn't understand at first, so he simply asked Chi Jiazhen to bring the communicator. After observing it on the StarNet for a while, he finally understood what the so-called ambiguous attitude meant.
The Zerg of Star City, the underground laboratory on Nott Planet, and gender-changing drugs... and so on, have all appeared on the Star Network, making a big fuss about them.
Because of the old emperor's selfish desires, Xingdu has fallen into such a disaster. Cen Yu looked at the current statements on the Star Network and could no longer contain his emotions. "...What do you mean? Are we now moving towards a republic?"
Chi Jiazhen snatched the communicator from Cen Yu's hand, indicating that he was recovering from his injuries and should avoid looking at unimportant things.
After a while, he said that Cen Shen wanted to visit him while he was sick, and then asked Cen Yu what he thought.
Cen Yu readily agreed to Cen Shen's request to visit... Chi Jiazhen was not present.
When Cen Shen entered the ward, his white shirt was torn and stained, some with blood and some with dirt. He also had a lot of beard and looked rather unkempt.
Perhaps because he hadn't had enough rest, there were still some bloodshot veins in his eyes.
After entering the ward, Cen Shen sat down next to Cen Yu. He looked at Cen Yu for a while without saying a word.
Cen Yu, however, became a little uncomfortable... He took an apple and handed it to Cen Shen, "Want an apple?"
Cen Shen reflexively took it, then looked down at the apple in his palm before finally looking up at Cen Yu and saying, "Before... it was my fault."
Cen Yu couldn't stand this melodramatic scene, so he could only pretend to be stupid and pretend he didn't know what the other person was saying.
Cen Shen wanted to speak, but was stopped by his younger brother. Cen Shen could naturally see his brother's intention to stop him from continuing. After realizing that his brother knew everything, Cen Shen stopped talking.
The two of them sat silently in the hospital room.
Cen Shen looked down at the apple in his hand for a while before standing up. "Xiao Yu," he said, holding the apple in his hand and looking at Cen Yu, "I actually envy you for becoming an Alpha."
"What you said before was right, I really do envy you."
Cen Shen continued, "It's really good that you were able to differentiate into an Alpha; it's a good result."
As he spoke, he clutched the apple in his hand and prepared to leave. As he left the ward, he heard Cen Yu behind him say, "I know."
Then came a slightly disdainful tone, "Go back and change your clothes, bro, you're almost rotten."
Cen Shen didn't turn around. He gave a short laugh, then clutched the apple in his hand and prepared to leave. Then he saw Li Chonghe standing there in the corridor.
Upon seeing his former business partner, Cen Shen suppressed his smile.
Li Chonghe didn't greet him either, and the two passed each other by as if they were complete strangers.
Only after Cen Shen left did Li Chonghe knock on the door and enter Cen Yu's ward.
"Want to chat?" Li Chonghe asked.
Cen Yu actually felt that she and Li Chonghe had nothing to talk about, but seeing Li Chonghe's haggard appearance, she was too embarrassed to ask him to leave.
After acquiescing to the other person sitting down, I grabbed an apple and handed it to him, saying, "Have some."
Li Chonghe also took an apple.
“There’s something I lied about before,” Li Chonghe suddenly said.
Cen Yu didn't even ask what it was—in his opinion, Li Chonghe had lied more than once, so he quietly waited for the other party's "confession".
"On the way back from the garbage planet, I pretended that Chi Jiazhen attacked me and turned me into a Zerg."
“Then you should apologize to Chi Jiazhen,” Cen Yu said. He could more or less guess why Li Chonghe did this, but after the old emperor also became a Zerg, that was no longer important.
“Yes, I will tell him,” Li Chonghe said.
After saying that, he fell silent again.
Li Chonghe sat on the chair next to Cen Yu's hospital bed, holding the apple in his hand. He had many thoughts on his mind, but none of them were suitable to talk about. In the end, he could only pick something insignificant...
"Did your pheromones go out of control after you exhausted your mental energy this time?"
“No.” Cen Yu pondered, suspecting that his body had become accustomed to his explosive pheromones, and this time his pheromones were very stable—as for whether Chi Jiazhen had bitten him, he didn’t want to think about it too much.
Li Chonghe nodded.
“That’s true. Betas can’t smell pheromones. If I were an Alpha or Omega, I would have sensed them long ago.”
Li Chonghe's words made Cen Yu glance at him a few more times.
Having lived in this world for a long time, he also knew that talking about other people's pheromones was an extremely inappropriate behavior.
Thinking back to what he had said when he first met Li Chonghe, and the other party's response, he suddenly felt an urge to retaliate—
"Your Highness, can I take that as sexual harassment?"
He still remembers Li Chonghe's reaction when he first provoked him in the dormitory supervisor's office.
Li Chonghe asked him to provide a hospital certificate proving that he was not in his susceptible period before he could be discharged from leave. He suggested that Li Chonghe smell it so he could know whether he was in his susceptible period or not.
At that moment, Li Chonghe was sitting behind the desk and asked him if he was sexually harassing him.
Now that he finally had a chance to retaliate, Cen Yu was overjoyed and waited to see how Li Chonghe would counterattack. However, to his surprise, Li Chonghe's expression showed a moment of astonishment, then, as if he had thought of something… He remained silent for a while, and finally said to Cen Yu—
"If that's what you think, then take this as what I mean."
...
After that, Huo Shen and others came to visit Cen Yu one after another, and Cen Yu, as usual, gave each of them an apple.
When Chi Jiazhen returned to the ward, she found that there were no apples left.
He pulled out a chair and sat down next to Cen Yu again. "Such a good appetite?"
"Have you eaten all the apples?"
"It's just too popular, there's nothing we can do about it." Cen Yu shrugged, it was unclear whether he was referring to Apple or himself.
