Lan Yu closed her eyes, but couldn't fall asleep anymore.
The person next to him was like a furnace, emitting heat continuously and carrying a strong alpha aura that enveloped him tightly.
The left side of his body was touching the right side of Lu Rankong, and since both of them were only wearing shorts and vests, the burning sensation went all the way from his shoulders to his calves.
He lay there stiffly, not daring to move, like a silent wax figure. I just couldn't stop regretting it. If I had known this would happen, I would have returned the mattress to him even if I had to sleep on a hard bed.
He thought Lu Rankong was asleep, but he suddenly turned his head and came over to him to smell it.
"What are you doing?" Lan Yu pressed herself against the wall desperately.
"You smell different."
"We're all using the same soap, how could there be any difference?" Lan Yu raised her hand and pushed his face away.
"It seems to smell a little better than me." Lu Rankong said.
Lan Yu said coldly: "I will exchange soap with you tomorrow."
"No need. Why would an alpha like me care about these things?"
"If you don't care, then why are you still smelling it?"
Lu Rankong smiled, turned his head and closed his eyes.
Lan Yu heard that he fell asleep quickly this time, his breathing light and slow.
He exhaled slowly, turned sideways calmly, and faced the wall. The mattress beneath him was soft and his back was warm. He felt sleepy and fell asleep before he knew it.
The entire Quye Prison fell silent. Except for the guards, everyone fell asleep.
A few sharp whistles were sounded, followed by the wakeup call. Lan Yu opened her eyes, her mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't know where she was.
Until I heard the prison guards shouting outside: "Get up, everyone get up..."
He wanted to rub his eyes in a daze, but found that he could not move at all. He was being held tightly by an arm across his waist.
He didn't know when, but Lu Rankong had already embraced him in his arms, with his back pressed against his chest and his hands and feet tied tightly.
Lan Yu struggled to get out and tried to sit up.
"Don't move..." A low and hoarse male voice sounded in my ear, with a nasal tone of just waking up.
Lan Yu stopped struggling, turned her head with great effort to look at him, and said, "Wake up..."
"I know..." Lu Rankong's hot breath fell on his ears.
"You know that, but you still——"
Before she could finish her sentence, Lan Yu seemed to have a stuck tape. His waist and hips were being pressed against by a hard object.
Lu Rankong felt his body stiffen, took his legs off him, moved back, and said awkwardly: "Alpha, this is a normal physiological phenomenon, don't say you don't have it."
Lan Yu's face was so hot that it was smoking. She gritted her teeth and said, "Take your hands away..."
Lu Rankong withdrew his arms from around his waist, turned around and lay down quietly.
"Are you not getting out of bed yet?" Lan Yu urged him coldly when she saw that he didn't move.
"How can I get out of bed in this state? Lie down for another two minutes to calm down." Lu Rankong said.
The prison guard was still blowing the whistle, and everyone in the room woke up and started to get out of bed and wash.
Lan Yu was blocked by him and didn't want to roll over him and squeeze into the bathroom with others, so she could only lie down first.
"We're all alphas, it's a normal physiological phenomenon. Do other alphas look like you? Am I like you?" He was afraid of being discovered by others, so he could only reach out and twist Lu Rankong's thigh flesh under the quilt, while lowering his voice and gritting his teeth.
Lu Rankong hissed and said, "That's because you can't do it."
"We are not as disgusting as you." The flesh on his thighs was too tight, so Lan Yu moved up and pinched the flesh on his waist, "Hurry up and get rid of it, hurry up and get rid of it."
"Don't move..." Lu Rankong frowned and said, "How can I get rid of it if you keep touching me like this?"
"Am I touching you?" Lan Yu yelled. Seeing everyone looking over, she lowered her voice and said, "I'm pinching you. Pinch! Do you understand?"
"Brother Bao, Brother Qiao, wake up." Liu Junjie walked out of the bathroom with a cigarette in his mouth. "Only fifteen minutes, then we have to eat breakfast."
"Okay, got it. I'll wait for you guys to finish washing first." Lu Rankong continued to lie flat on his back.
"Are you ready?" After the two of them lay there for another minute or two, Lan Yu turned her head, her eyes seemed to be covered with ice.
Lu Rankong said a little desperately: "I can't feel better, forget it, let it be, everyone understands anyway."
After saying that, he threw back the quilt and jumped out of bed with his shorts sticking up high.
Lan Yu began to fold the quilt with a cold face, then lifted the bed sheet, pulled out Lu Rankong's bedding from underneath and threw it down.
I made my bed, then got out and tidied up the lower bunk. After everything was done, I saw that everyone else was getting ready to go out, so I went to the bathroom to relieve myself and wash up.
This is a single-person restroom, very narrow, with only a squat toilet and a washbasin.
On the long shelf on the wall next to it, there are eight identical wash cups lined up, and eight face towels hanging below.
He quickly washed up and came out to find that everyone in the room had left, except Lu Rankong who was still waiting at the door.
"It took you five minutes to wash your face and brush your teeth, but it only took us five minutes together." Lu Rankong took him out.
Lan Yu muttered, "I don't think it's clean enough."
The two of them walked hurriedly in the corridor leading to the cafeteria, and there were few people around. A gust of wind blew through the hall, and Lan Yu covered her face with her hands, frowning.
"What's wrong again?" Lu Rankong glanced at him.
"nothing……"
Lan Yu didn't use any skin care products after washing her face. Now when the wind blew on her, she felt her face was tight and uncomfortable.
But he didn't want Lu Rankong to know, for fear of causing him to make a fuss again.
Lu Rankong said softly, "Lin Lin should have no problem. He said he graduated from the Sasu Royal Academy of Fine Arts. I asked him a few questions that only students would know, and he knew them all."
"for example?"
"For example, the widower professor would peek at omega students taking showers, and pretend to be blind when he was discovered by the security guard. Two years ago, during a random physical examination, five omegas were found to have faked their identities, two pretending to be alphas and three pretending to be betas."
Lan Yu: "How do you know this?"
"I was on a mission last year and pretended to be a student in that school for half a month. I got to know all the gossip clearly."
"What about Liu Junjie?"
The two of them had already walked out of the passage, and in front of them was the dining hall.
"I don't know if Liu Junjie is from Longte, but he is definitely not from the financial industry. I will go to the warden later."
"Hmm..." Lan Yu nodded.
Lu Rankong asked: "Do you have any requests? I will do it together with you when I see the warden later."
Lan Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Give me a bottle of shampoo and shower gel, and preferably a bottle of skin cream. Also, although the weather is not hot, there are a lot of mosquitoes here, so find me a bottle of mosquito repellent."
Lu Rankong stopped and looked at him expressionlessly.
Lan Yu said angrily: "What are you doing? Haven't you seen an alpha who pursues quality of life? Don't always use your rough standards to measure others."
"What I mean is, I can get these things for you from somewhere else. You can make more important requests to the warden, such as asking him to tell the military more about your performance in the future and strive for an early promotion." Lu Rankong said earnestly, "If you behave well this time and don't go crazy, you will definitely be promoted."
Lan Yu curled her lips and snorted coldly: "Wait until you become a colonel before you tell me these things."
"Then do you have anything else you want me to tell you? Besides this..."
"No need, I am a qualified soldier. Any difficulty is not a difficulty in my eyes." Lan Yu said in a deep voice.
He couldn't ask for another quilt or a roll of wool or knitting needles or anything like that. Forget it. He wasn't interested in getting a promotion.
Of course, it would be great if his reward for completing this mission was retirement.
The two walked in silence for a while, and Lu Rankong suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Lan Yu asked.
Lu Rankong said, "We have never interacted like this before, and we have never had a serious conversation. After spending these few days together, I didn't expect that you are so interesting in private."
Lan Yu frowned and said, "What's so interesting about this?"
“Everywhere is interesting.”
The two men arrived at the cafeteria, where there was already a long line, and all the prisoners were holding trays to receive their meals. When Qiao Fei and Liu Junjie saw them, they started shouting, "Over here, over here."
Other prisoners who were sitting down also stood up quickly and shouted for the boss to come here.
Lu Rankong waved to them, indicating that it was not necessary.
"What are you yelling about?" The prison guard standing next to the line shouted, then turned to Lu Rankong and Lan Yu, raised his hand and looked at the terminal, "If you are 10 seconds later, you two won't be able to eat."
Lu Rankong took out two plates from the big barrel beside the door, handed one to Lan Yu, and went to the front of Qiao Fei and the others.
When other prisoners saw someone cutting in line, they wanted to complain to the prison guards. When they saw it was Lu Rankong and Lan Yu, they shut up again.
Breakfast is a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns. If it is not enough, you can get more steamed buns.
Lan Yu carried the food tray and walked to an empty table in front of the window and sat down. Lu Rankong also sat down.
"Eat more. We have to go to work after breakfast." Lu Rankong took a bite of the steamed bun.
"What kind of work?"
"It should be mining. After all, this is a mining planet. Although the mineral resources have been almost mined, the remaining ones are enough for this prison to mine for hundreds of years."
When Lan Yu heard this, she held the steamed bun and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Lu Rankong ate very quickly. After he finished, he whispered, "I'm going..." and left the cafeteria while the prison guards were not paying attention.
Lan Yu knew that he was going to find the warden, but when she looked away, she saw Chen Zheng at the next table also looking at the door.
As if he sensed something, he turned to look at Lan Yu, his cold eyes meeting hers.
One second, two seconds.
Lan Yu narrowed her eyes slightly. Chen Zheng lowered his head, looked at his plate indifferently, and continued eating.
After breakfast, all the prisoners went to the square, and the captain of the prison guards began to arrange today's tasks.
"Cells 1 to 5 go to the mine south of the prison. Cells 6 to 10 go to the two mines left by Feihong Mining Group in the west. Cells 11 to 15 go to the mine next to Pelican Lake in the east..."
Lan Yu listened absentmindedly, keeping her eyes on the passage, wondering how long it would take Lu Rankong to come back.
"The prison guards in charge of each unit please take roll call." As soon as the prison guard captain finished speaking, dozens of prison guards standing beside him dispersed and went to the prisoner areas under their supervision to take roll call.
The prison guards in charge of Lan Yu and his cell are whistle guards and electric baton guards. After walking up to them, the prison guard with electric batons began to call out their names.
"Cell 11, 0134."
"Here..." Qiu Dao replied.
"0135."
"Here..." Wang Jin also answered.
"0356."
Lan Yu replied: "To..."
"0357."
After a moment of silence, the prison guard with the electric baton read out again: "0357."
Lan Yu saw that there was no one in the passage and was thinking of making up an excuse to get through when she heard a voice behind her: "Here..."
He turned around and found Lu Rankong walking towards him from behind.
"0357, where have you been?" the prison guard with the electric baton asked sternly.
"Officer Wang, I may not be used to the prison because I just arrived. I have diarrhea." Lu Rankong replied lazily, just like any other experienced prisoner.
"Don't think you can get away with working by pretending to be sick, you fucking strong--"
"Sir! Sir! I'm not pretending to be sick. I will definitely go to work. Don't worry, Officer Wang. I will do my job well under your supervision." Lu Rankong interrupted him loudly with a sincere look on his face.
The prison guard with the electric baton said nothing more and his expression looked a little better.
After everyone's name was called, they lined up and left the prison gate under the supervision of the prison guards.
"How is it? What did you find out?" Looking at Liu Junjie who was talking to Qiao Fei in front, Lan Yu asked Lu Rankong quietly.
"There's nothing unusual in the information we inquired about. Liu Junjie is the youngest son of Liu Si, the richest man on Yingyu Star. He disrupted the interstellar financial market to make profits, and caused the destruction of many families. Liu Si spent a lot of money to suppress the matter, but there were too many people involved, and there were always some who were not afraid of trouble and continued to make trouble, and finally it reached the palace. When the emperor heard about it, he personally supervised the case. Liu Si could no longer suppress it, and could only watch his son being sentenced to six years in prison." Lu Rankong said.
Lan Yu stretched out a finger and shook it, saying, "It doesn't look like..."
"What's not like?"
"Whether it's his temperament or his manners, he doesn't look like he came from the richest family on the planet," Lan Yu said.
"Oh?" Lu Rankong was obviously interested. "Then tell me, what should a person who comes from a wealthy family be like?"
Lan Yu pondered for a moment, and when he turned to look at Lu Rankong, his whole aura changed.
He raised his chin slightly, his expression arrogant and cold, and with a hint of arrogance.
At first glance, you can tell that he is the type of person who has been surrounded by the stars since childhood.
"Based on your description of Liu Junjie, this is basically the case," he said.
Lu Rankong curled the corners of his lips and asked, "What about Liu Junjie?"
Lan Yu said, "You know what Liu Junjie is like normally. He doesn't look like the son of the richest man in Yingyuxing. This morning, he was smoking, and the cigarette butt in his mouth was already very short, but he was reluctant to throw it away. He twisted the cigarette butt with two fingers and took another puff before throwing it away."
He imitated Liu Junjie, squinting his eyes and biting his mouth, then used his index finger and thumb to pick up the cigarette butt from the side of his mouth.
"I noticed a lot of saliva on his cigarette butt, and it was obvious that he had been holding it in his mouth. Most people who have this habit are in jobs that require them to keep their hands busy and hold a cigarette." Lan Yu blew imaginary smoke at Lu Rankong.
"If he is a workshop worker, he is not allowed to smoke in the workshop, so it should be a very free profession. His hands are smooth and white, and it is obvious that he is not a mason, carpenter, or handicraft worker. I saw a thin layer of callus between the index finger and thumb of his right hand, which is caused by long-term wear and tear."
Lu Rankong also made a gesture towards Lan Yu, stroking the cards, "He is a gambler, and a master cheater."
"Then this Liu Junjie..."
Lu Rankong said: "This Liu Junjie should be here to take the blame. Quyuxing is too remote. If he serves his sentence here, no one will be able to recognize him."
The two of them didn't say anything else and continued to move forward with the team. Lu Rankong turned his head to look at him and laughed again.
"What's wrong with you again?" Lan Yu frowned.
"nothing……"
After exiting the gate, there were probably hundreds of engineering tracked vehicles parked in the square outside. Lan Yu and the others followed Whistle Officer Liu and Electric Baton Officer Wang into the car and headed for a mine in Pelican Lake in the east.
After everyone was present, all the tracked vehicles set off, following a gap opened at the bottom of the crater, and divided into four large convoys, each heading in a different direction.
Lan Yu and Lu Rankong were in the first car, and the rest of the people in cell No. 11 were in the back.
Along the way, abandoned mines and dilapidated factories can be seen everywhere, with faded slogans and safety precautions posted on the walls.
Some large mining machines lay on the ground, covered in rust.
Apart from their few engineering tracked vehicles, the entire Quyu Star was like a lifeless tomb, without a single person or living thing.
Lan Yu looked around and saw only barren mountains as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight, and a vast expanse of gray and black between the sky and the earth.
The prisoners seemed to be in a bad mood too. They all sat in the tracked vehicle in silence, and no one spoke.
Officer Wang, the electric baton officer, looked at the expressions of the people in the circle car and said with a half-smile, "Did you see that? A few years ago, someone tried to escape while working. Could he escape? Where could he escape to? We were too lazy to look for him. Later he found himself back in prison, starving to death. So, when you get out, just work honestly, don't think about those things, serve your sentence obediently, and a starship will naturally take you back to the main planet."
Lan Yu noticed that when he spoke, his eyes always fell on Lu Rankong, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Rankong looked nonchalant and nodded in agreement seriously.
The road they were traveling on to the mine was built by former large conglomerates. There are few vehicles passing by now, the road surface is gradually covered with sand and gravel, and tracked vehicles often run out of road while moving forward. Fortunately, after crossing a ridge, we can vaguely see a section of the road.
This engineering crawler vehicle has no guardrails on both sides and is open-top. People sitting inside it are shaky and from time to time people sitting on the side would fall off, then run a few steps and jump back up.
Lu Rankong would occasionally jump out of the car, pick up a few stones on the ground, then come back and carefully wipe off the dust on them, looking at them with love.
"Li Baozi, what are you picking this up for?" Lan Yu couldn't help asking after he jumped out of the car again and picked up the stone and got back in.
Lu Rankong put the stones into his pocket like treasures and said, "Guess..."
"No guess..."
"Guess..."
"roll……"
"I'm going to take it back and polish a few small things," he said.
Seeing Lan Yu's disapproving expression, he added earnestly: "Qiao, alphas always have some weird hobbies, which makes them more charming. Look at you, you don't have any hobbies, just like a piece of wood without emotions. How can you please an omega like this? You are so bloodless and fleshless..."
Lan Yu sneered and said, "Don't forget, I still have Gu Gu waiting for me, eagerly waiting for me, but you have nothing."
"There are so many omegas who like me, but I just don't want to." Lu Rankong retorted.
Officer Wang, the electric baton, remained silent until he suddenly interrupted: "A capable alpha makes the omega willingly do it. If you force them to do it, is that love? That's shameless and beastly."
Lu Rankong was suddenly speechless.
Lan Yu turned her head happily and continued looking outside.
