Chapter 20 Cannon Fodder Ex-Boyfriend 20 Finally Found You
Gu Shiyu had originally planned to go straight home after leaving the Qi residence, but a phone call from Su's father caused him to deviate from his path home again in the middle of the night.
Su Jingyi has started acting crazy again, so the Su family needs him, someone who is not yet engaged to them and, strictly speaking, has no relation to them, to appease and discipline this Omega who is unconventional in the family and refuses to obey anyone's arrangements.
Because he had successfully dissuaded Omega from climbing the tallest and largest tree in the Su family manor when Omega was a child, comforting and educating Omega inexplicably became his job.
They always say, "He only listens to you," in order to shirk the educational responsibility and burden that rightfully belongs to them.
They would also use the promise that "you two will definitely get engaged in the future, and Gu and Su will be a family sooner or later" as a carrot to keep him going and keep him in this job.
For Gu Shiyu in the past, this matter was not a burden.
After all, his father's biggest requirement for him right now is to maintain good relations with the Su family and secure the greatest benefits for the Gu family. Moreover, although Su Jingyi always appears to hate him to the extreme, it is indeed as the Su family said: no matter how much an Omega resists during the process, the final result will still be as Gu Shiyu said.
But today, whether it was because she was too tired or for some other reason, Gu Shiyu felt annoyed for the first time about comforting Su Jingyi.
Perhaps influenced by the protagonist's mood, as the Maybach drove toward the Su family manor, a light drizzle began to fall again.
Gu Shiyu lowered the car window, and a gust of wind mixed with rain rushed in, wetting his hair and making his pale, gloomy face damp. Gu Shiyu reached out and wiped his face, the cold, damp touch making him subconsciously think of the bottle of ice water he had carefully wiped clean with a tissue, and the clean, cool scent of pheromones that seemed to rush towards him like snowflakes.
The cold, the biting chill, the suffocating feeling of being completely buried in a heavy snowfall—it's really not something to like, at least not for an Alpha whose pheromones are naturally antagonistic.
Therefore, the union of AO is correct and logical, since only their pheromones can blend together without resistance, attracting and intertwining with each other, and then arousing deeper desires...
That's right.
is that so?
Gu Shiyu blinked twice slowly, then, bored, looked away from the Omega's questioning, her face as cold and indifferent as ever.
"If you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do, but as I've already said, I don't agree with it."
"So you're on their side too, right? No! That's not right of me, after all..."
The Omega on the bed chuckled softly, his gaze towards Gu Shiyu reflecting the lamplight beside him, as if a flame had been ignited within him.
“You’ve always been on their side.”
The sound of raindrops hitting the window gradually increased in speed. As they fell onto the transparent glass, they slid down in winding streaks, carrying away non-existent dust, but unable to erase the mess that lay inside, separated by the window.
“I just disagree with the extreme idea you just mentioned, it has nothing to do with your father and the others.”
In the dimly lit bedroom, Su Jingyi leaned against the headboard, repeatedly tugging at his wrist, which was handcuffed to the bedside table. The clanging sound made Gu Shiyu, sitting on the sofa not far away, frown. Gu Shiyu reached out and pinched his aching ear, then took a deep breath and, in the dead of night, offered his second piece of advice.
"I think you should calm down first."
Su Jingyi rubbed his wrist, which was already chafed raw. Upon hearing this, he laughed as if he had heard a particularly funny joke, tears streaming down his face.
"Calm down, I think I'm perfectly calm. Aren't you all the ones going crazy? I just want to move out and live on my own for a while, do you have to react like this?"
As Su Jingyi spoke, he tugged at the handcuffs on his wrists again.
He looked very confused, his eyes revealing bewilderment. He seemed genuinely puzzled as to why his family was trying to stop him from moving out. It was just moving out; he wasn't planning on dying out there.
Omega pouted, looking aggrieved. Her amber pupils trembled slightly under the light, as if tears were about to fall again.
But Gu Shiyu wasn't buying it.
Seeing Omegax on the verge of tears, the Alpha sitting on the sofa calmly said:
"If what you mean by moving out is moving away from the city, moving to Ottoman, then I think their strong reaction is not entirely unreasonable."
Otes, a place that Su's father bought ten years ago to use as a vacation island, but has never set foot on due to a series of reasons.
After learning of Su Su Jingyi's idea, Gu Shiyu knew without even thinking that the Omega definitely wouldn't go alone.
He will definitely bring along an Alpha, an Alpha he is planning to send away.
With his eyelashes slightly lowered, Gu Shiyu rubbed his hands together a couple of times on his knees. He thought for a moment, then looked up at Su Jingyi.
“Our two families are currently discussing the engagement, and we certainly won’t let you leave at this time, let alone go to Ottos, which is so far away and where the surveillance facilities are not yet complete. So I advise you to give up this idea, otherwise, before the engagement, you will most likely have to stay in this bed.”
Su Jingyi's fingers, gripping the handcuffs, stiffened. He was somewhat unwilling, but he had to admit that Gu Shiyu was right.
But he had no other choice. There were just too many dangers surrounding Li Qingran. He couldn't, and would no longer allow an Alpha to be entangled with another Omega without his knowledge!
Therefore, he had to hide the person far away, in a place where no one could find him.
But what could he do?
Omega, who only received favor but had no real power, was merely a beautiful ornament in the family, placed in the hall and constantly under surveillance. As a result, one second he was discussing with his confidant how to get to Auster, and the next second he was locked in a room by Su's father.
Su Jingyi gripped the handcuffs tightly, the silver rings digging deep into his delicate flesh with his strength, as if they were about to sever his wrists and stain the white sheets beneath the Omega red with his blood.
No one understands him. Su Jingyi thought blankly, and no one will help him either.
"I can help you."
Amidst the flickering lights, a tall figure appeared beside the bewildered Omega.
Su Jingyi subconsciously looked up, and the next second, he was caught off guard by a pair of black eyes that seemed to have been splashed with ink. The ink was as black as water, and it slowly flowed into a tranquil river in the Alpha's eyes. No one knew what was hidden beneath the river.
Su Jingyi blinked, wondering if she had misheard. "What did you say?"
"I said, I can help you." Gu Shiyu repeated patiently.
“I can talk to Uncle Su for you. You’re planning to use Osset as your honeymoon destination, so you want to have someone go and inspect it beforehand, and also improve the facilities at the estate there. That way, even if Uncle Su still doesn’t agree to you leaving, at least he won’t stop you from sending your people away.”
Su Jingyi straightened up. "What do you mean?"
The black shadow Alpha projected on the ground grew denser as he approached the light, but his expression remained calm.
"Did I say something wrong? Don't you want to send Li Qingran away?"
Su Jingyi tensed up even more. "I don't understand what you're talking about!"
"It's okay if you don't understand. Just know that I can help you achieve the result you want."
For the first time ever, Gu Shiyu smiled at Su Jingyi. He hadn't used hair gel today, letting his smooth hair fall across his forehead, which made him look less mature and aggressive.
But Su Jingyi still couldn't believe him, "But why did you help me?!"
When did Gu Shiyu become so kind?
"Actually, it's not really about helping you, I just figured it out."
Alpha shrugged. "You'll never leave Li Qingran, will you? So, instead of forcibly separating you and causing an even more out-of-control situation, I might as well help you hide him away. That's better for both of us right now."
"..." Su Jingyi still felt something was off. He moved his lips, wanting to say something to refute and reject Gu Shiyu, but just then, the Alpha in front of him slowly spoke again:
"Otherwise, do you have a better solution since you can't even leave the bedroom? Or would you rather cooperate with Qi Ziyan, who is devoted to you, than me?"
"Splash—"
The shackles connecting the headboard to Omega's wrists were instantly torn into a straight silver line.
Smooth, flat, without a single bump.
Even Li Qingran, who had always wanted a peaceful life, felt that her days had been too peaceful lately.
Since leaving through the door that day, Su Jingyi has remained completely silent. Qi Ziyan has also stopped coming over to offer him any help. As for Gu Shiyu, after sending him a message late that night saying "the plan will be postponed for a few days," she has vanished as if she had disappeared into thin air.
Everyone seems to be busy with their own plans.
very nice.
That's how a main character should act.
Don't keep adding to his role as cannon fodder unless it's useful.
Li Qingran stretched, drew back the curtains, closed her eyes, and basked in the warm sunlight for a while. Then she changed into loose, casual clothes and prepared to go out for a big meal to bring her comfortable and pleasant sensitive period to a perfect end.
However, just as Li Qingran left the room and went downstairs after a long absence, a tall, black figure appeared in front of him before he could even step out of the revolving door.
The other party was clearly an Alpha, dressed in all black, even wearing a black mask and hat. The aura was somewhat low, and even standing in the sunlight, his whole body seemed to be emanating black energy.
He seemed very uncomfortable, standing there constantly adjusting the angle of his hat, and when he raised his arms, his bulging muscles almost burst out of his shirt.
Li Qingran glanced in that direction several times.
For some reason, I felt that the other person's outfit looked somewhat familiar.
He was wondering if he had seen this outfit somewhere before when the Alpha opposite him suddenly looked up as if he had sensed something, his gaze fixed on his direction.
Li Qingran was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the other person had already strode over. Under the black brim of the hat, a pair of dark green eyes were fixed on Li Qingran like a venomous snake locking onto its prey. There was a faint smell of gunpowder between his pale fingers, hot and fiery, just like his excited and hoarse voice.
"finally found you!"
Li Qingran heard him say that.
