Chapter 59 Bite Prevention
◎ Ring ◎
Luo Wusheng's heart was beating violently. The conversation, which lasted no more than three minutes, revealed shocking information.
No matter how calm he tried to be, he couldn't hide his panic perfectly. After all, Shi Hanqiao was deeply involved in this matter.
"Get up, I know your awake."
The cold tone of woman A made Luo Wusheng almost stop breathing. He really had no intention of prying into her secrets, and he didn't want to be disliked by her because of it.
Feeling uneasy, he opened his eyes resignedly after a fierce mental struggle.
Woman A had a faint smile on her face as usual, but the smile in her eyes made him almost breathe. She was obviously the same as usual, but because he accidentally peeped into a corner of the secret, he didn't dare to gamble with Shi Hanqiao's attitude on their current relationship. After all, they were still in a "cold war".
Wait, Cold War.
He lowered his eyes, and countless responses flashed through his mind, but in the end, they were the only ones still in the "cold war". Her not letting him talk to her could make him remain silent for a little longer.
He had absolutely no idea what to say.
The trembling crow feathers cast a shadow on the eyes that were once as bright as the stars. Shi Hanqiao frowned slightly and recalled that her tone just now seemed a little cold.
Oh, right.
They are still in the Cold War, no wonder the young people seem silent.
"Okay, I was just kidding."
Luo Wusheng's pupils widened, and his slightly cold fingertips gently lifted his chin, then quickly separated.
Was she... kidding? Didn't she care if he knew? What did she think of him?
The young man raised his head and saw that the woman A who was originally standing in front of him had sat back on the sofa, as if she was completely unaffected and had returned to her usual laziness.
Luo Wusheng opened his lips, but didn't know what to say. He was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to continue facing her.
"Are you really angry?"
Shi Hanqiao muttered softly, then stood up. She had never tried to hide anything. The original owner had many friends, but after her mental strength and physical condition were revealed to be both weak, she had either passively or actively distanced herself from them.
So far, apart from Luo Wusheng, only Shi Qi knows that she is not the original owner.
"No more cold war, I'm just kidding you."
Shi Hanqiao said as she tried to pull the young man away. Seeing that he didn't avoid her, she felt slightly relieved. Suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable. She hadn't considered whether he would still be willing to be her friend if he knew she wasn't the original owner.
If he doesn't want to...
Shi Hanqiao's eyes darkened, and he felt a little complicated for a moment.
"It's good that the cold war is over," Luo Wusheng seemed oblivious. He took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions and trying to pretend to be relaxed and cover up the matter, as if he hadn't heard anything. He didn't want to create a rift between them because of this. "I wanted to talk several times these past two days, but I held it back."
After he finished speaking, he discovered that there was no relaxed look on Woman A's face, but rather her brows were even more solemn.
Shi Hanqiao didn't care whether her identity was exposed or not. If it wasn't, it would indeed save her a lot of trouble. She didn't like trouble, but she wasn't afraid of it.
She didn't care whether others knew her identity or not, but when she heard the young man's whitewashing words, she felt unhappy for a moment.
It doesn’t matter to other people, but Luo Wusheng is different. He is the only friend she recognizes in all these years.
Even though she looked exactly like the original owner and was also called Shi Hanqiao, she didn't want the young man to mistake her for the original owner. This was very important.
"W-What happened?"
Luo Wusheng kept backing away, and Woman A suddenly became serious and approached forcefully. His heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and even in this situation, he still felt that she had a dangerous charm all over her body.
"What did you hear?"
Shi Hanqiao stared into his eyes, trying to discern his true thoughts, but she saw nothing except her reflection.
"I..." Luo Wu had nowhere to retreat, and his hind legs pressed against the sofa. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Woman A didn't seem to care that he knew, and even hoped that he knew.
Looking into those dark eyes, his breathing unconsciously became deeper. He didn't dare to be careless in anything related to her, but her eyes gave him confidence.
"I heard it all."
"So what do you think?"
Shi Hanqiao took a step forward, almost getting in front of the young man.
Boom——
Luo Wusheng fell on the sofa, staring blankly at Woman A leaning over with her hands on either side of him, her face so close to him that she was enveloped in the scent of lily of the valley.
"Will you leave?"
If it was true as he thought, and the soul carried in this body was another person, Luo Wusheng found that what he cared about most was her existence, and whether she would disappear as suddenly as she appeared.
Woman A pressed her fingertips on the sofa, resisting the urge to rub it. She didn't expect him to ask this question. Does that mean that he also identified the Demon Lord Shi Hanqiao, and not the original owner Shi Hanqiao?
"Won't."
Seeing the young man's obvious relief, Shi Hanqiao's mood became even better. "Do you have any other questions?"
Luo Wusheng thought about it. He had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but in the end he chose a question that was quite standard and did not cross the line at all.
"When?" When did she exist as Shi Hanqiao?
"Graduation exam."
Graduation exam, it turned out that was the day they first met. Luo Wusheng lowered his eyes and recalled what happened that day. The one he remembered most clearly was her.
"Any other questions?"
Luo Wusheng shook his head. He was afraid of crossing the line and causing girl A to dislike him.
A sense of propriety is particularly important in interpersonal relationships. He likes her, so if she takes the initiative to approach him, it is not a violation of the boundary, but will make him feel flattered; but she only sees him as a friend, so he must stick to that line and not cross it easily.
However, he will try his best to cross that invisible line.
"Okay, so is there anything else you want to say?"
What I want to say is not what I want to ask.
"I'm glad it was you I met."
The phoenix eyes looked back at the dark pupils seriously, without any exploration or curiosity, but instead revealed their true thoughts without reservation.
Luo Wusheng's eyes were straightforward and fiery, shining like a brilliant galaxy, and just like what Luo Wei said about all living beings, they were full of hope.
But there is still a difference. Her figure is fully reflected in the beautiful phoenix eyes, as if there is nothing else but her.
Shi Hanqiao turned her head uncomfortably to avoid his gaze. Her happiness was not fake, as it proved that she had good taste and was good at choosing friends.
"So, is there anything you want to say to me?"
Luo Wusheng asked back tentatively.
"Me too."
I'm also very happy to meet you in this strange world.
Although Shi Hanqiao didn't care, the feeling of having friends was indeed very good, just as Luo Wei said.
Shi Hanqiao stood up straight, put her fist to her lips and coughed lightly to cover it up. In addition to saying so much to test the young man's attitude towards her, she actually had another thing she wanted to do.
The cold war these days was instigated by her. Although not communicating with each other at the beginning did ease her annoyance caused by the entries, she became even more irritable after not talking to each other for a long time.
She also thought about ending the cold war, but she never mentioned it because of a strange and awkward feeling.
Later, she searched for information related to the Cold War on Starnet, and found that the Cold War between normal people was different from the Cold War between them.
A normal cold war involves not only not talking but also ignoring each other and consciously avoiding being in the same space as the other person. The cold war is the most damaging aspect of a friendship, often signifying a severance, with friends never contacting each other again.
However, she found a way to smoothly end the cold war on StarNet - giving gifts.
"For me?"
Looking at the box handed over by Woman A, Luo Wusheng's voice was hesitant. Only he knew how turbulent his heart was beneath his efforts to remain calm.
Shi Hanqiao nodded. She was the most expensive, best and most practical gift on Star Network’s list of Omega gifts.
"Open it and take a look."
The young man controlled his trembling hands, pursed his lips and opened the box with anticipation.
Then silence.
"What's wrong? You don't like it?"
Shi Hanqiao noticed his slightly frozen gaze.
Even if it was a gift from someone he liked, Luo Wusheng would find it difficult to say the word "like".
Inside the box is an Omega anti-bite ring. The silver metal ring is shiny, and the hollow pattern on the edge looks delicate and beautiful.
If he were to rank items he hates, the Omega bite ring would definitely be on his list.
He hated the Omega bite collar that looked like a dog collar.
He hated the constricting and oppressive feeling it felt around his neck.
He hated that it was the Alphas who often lost control of themselves, yet the Omegas had to wear bite rings to protect themselves.
Luo Wusheng was silent. If the person who gave him the Omega anti-bite ring was not Shi Hanqiao, he would have beaten that person to the ground long ago.
"Didn't Starnet say this was the best gift for an Omega?"
Shi Hanqiao muttered something. The young man's condition clearly proved that what was said on the Star Network was wrong. She reached out and pinched the other corner of the box, intending to pull it back.
She originally wanted to end the cold war by giving the gift, but she didn't want to make the relationship worse.
She took the lid and closed it, a hand coming up to stop her movement.
“Even though I don’t like it, I accept it.”
Luo Wusheng didn't want to refuse the gift she gave him.
"Forget it, I'll make up for it for you."
The Demon Lord's first gift was a disaster, and her self-esteem was really hurt. She was eager to take back the anti-bite ring and throw it into some corner to gather dust.
No, she should have smashed it so hard that it couldn't be seen anymore.
"You already gave it to me."
Luo Wusheng took the box from her hand and temporarily placed it on the armrest of the sofa.
"You want to know why I hate it?"
Shi Hanqiao paused and nodded.
Luo Wei once said that reasons are important.
Luo Wusheng said tentatively, "Promise me one thing first."
He felt that she would not be angry. Perhaps, her attitude today gave him confidence.
The first time she gave a gift, she got a bad answer, so Girl A immediately nodded in agreement.
The young man took out the classic Omega anti-bite ring from many years ago from his space button.
Shi Hanqiao picked up the anti-bite ring and saw its complete appearance. It looked very much like a dog collar. The disgusting memories before he met Luo Wei resurfaced.
Luo Wusheng said: "Put it on."
【Author’s words】
The anti-bite ring can have other uses in the future... hehehe~

Mou Qiao: I got a bad gift the first time I gave one. What a shame.
