Chapter 219 (Additional update)
"What? Commander Xiao is planning to use his power for personal gain and let me go?" Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Zhenting with interest.
"Xiao Yu, how did you become like this? Aren't those lives lost in your hands enough? I can't let you go." Xiao Zhenting looked at his daughter disappointedly and shook his head.
"Then what's the point of you saying so much? Commander Xiao, you'd better leave early. My cell is so small that it can't accommodate a big Buddha like you." Xiao Yu said with a sneer. She was not afraid of death, but was afraid of living a meaningless life.
"Xiao Yu, it's your father's fault for not educating you well, causing you to hurt so many people. Cao Wei is a good child, and I won't make things difficult for her. I can't just leave you alone either. I'm sorry." Xiao Zhenting said this with red eyes and took out a gun.
"Don't be afraid, Dad will be with you. You have killed so many people and you are no longer worthy of living. I will go with you and will not let you be alone." Xiao Zhenting gritted his teeth and said this before pulling the trigger at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu still couldn't believe that her father had shot her until her body slid to the ground. She could feel the warm liquid flowing out of her chest, and her life slowly slipped away with it.
Tears welled up in Xiao Zhenting's eyes, and he put the pistol to his forehead. With a bang, he ended his life along with Xiao Yu.
When Cao Wei and the others ran in, they saw Xiao Zhenting and Xiao Yu lying on the ground.
Cao Wei rushed over to save him, but Xiao Zhenting was already dead. Her eyes welled up. "Commander Xiao, why are you doing this? It's Xiao Yu who made the mistake. It has nothing to do with you."
"Let's bury the body first. The dead cannot be resurrected." Shang Nuan saw Cao Wei crying and comforted her with a bad feeling in her heart.
Soon, soldiers buried the two men in the cemetery in the first district. Cao Wei watched her former mentor being buried with her own eyes, and she has been in a bad mood since she came back.
Shang Nuan stood carefully by the side, brewing tea for Cao Wei and bringing it over. "Commander, have some tea. You've been busy all day. Take a break."
"Well, you should go back and rest too. I want to be alone for a while." Cao Wei supported her forehead with one hand and spoke lightly.
"Yes." Shang Nuan responded and quickly left Cao Wei's office. However, she did not go back to rest, but went to the kitchen not far away. Cao Wei had not eaten since she came back from the cemetery. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Shang Nuan was really worried and wanted to make some food for Cao Wei.
she
Afraid that Cao Wei couldn't eat anything else, she filled the pot with cut vegetables and made a bowl of vegetable noodles. When the noodles were ready, Shang Nuan brought the noodles over and knocked on the door.
There were several gasps from inside, "Come in."
Shang Nuan always felt that there seemed to be a hint of tears in Cao Wei's voice, so she was more careful than usual when she entered the room. She brought the noodles to Cao Wei and saw that Cao Wei's eyes were still red. It was obvious that she had just cried, but she was trying hard to hold it back. Shang Nuan felt distressed when she saw it.
"I'm going to cook a bowl of noodles for you. You haven't eaten anything all day. Eat something and go to bed early. These things are beyond your control. Xiao Yu can only blame herself for what happened to her. Weiwei, don't push yourself so hard. District One is everyone's first district, and you can't bear everything alone." Shang Nuan said softly, and she became a little bolder, saying things that she usually didn't dare to say.
Cao Wei's emotions were a little strained by the death of her old boss. After being comforted by Shang Nuan, she sniffled and started crying quietly. While crying, she didn't forget to scold Shang Nuan, "Who told you to call me Weiwei? You should call me Commander, do you know?"
She sniffed while speaking, looking at Shang Nuan with some grievance, without any deterrent effect at all.
Shang Nuan's lips curled up slightly, but she didn't dare to really laugh. She could only coax him, "Okay, don't scream when we're outside. It's just the two of us here. Cry if you want to. It's normal to cry when you're stressed. A lot has happened in District 1 recently, and you've been carrying it all by yourself. I'm afraid that the string in your body is too tight, which is not good."
"You saw me crying." Cao Wei looked at Shang Nuan while sniffing and crying.
Shang Nuan hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to walk over to Cao Wei and gently patted her shoulder. "It's okay if I saw you. I won't tell anyone else. Cry if you want to. I'll be with you."
Cao Wei has been under a lot of pressure recently. All the matters in the entire First District require her to make decisions. In addition, she saw her old boss die in front of her today. It would be a lie for Cao Wei to say that she was not sad. When Shang Nuan comforted her, she simply hugged Shang Nuan and cried.
Shang Nuan's ears turned red. She patted Cao Wei's back gently and coaxed her softly: "It's okay, it's okay, just cry it out. I'm here. If you feel bad in the future, you can tell me, or I can cry with you."
Shang Nuan looked at the bowl of noodles on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded her, "Why don't you eat the noodles first before crying? The noodles are almost clumping together."
Cao Wei was crying sadly, but when she heard Shang Nuan say this, she raised her head slightly and glared at him.
She glanced at Shang Nuan, then continued to hug her and cry, scolding her as she cried: "I was wondering why you're 26 and still don't have a girlfriend. With your level of coaxing, even if you had a girlfriend, she would be driven away by you within three days. Can't you see how sad I am?"
"I saw it." Shang Nuan muttered in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced. She was already very considerate, so why was her skill in coaxing people so poor?
"After seeing this, instead of trying to comfort me, you're thinking about face?" Cao Wei was so shocked that she forgot to continue crying. She raised her eyes slightly to look at Shang Nuan.
"But the dough will clump together and affect the taste. It will stick together after a while and become inedible." Shang Nuan muttered softly.
Cao Wei pushed Shang Nuan and said, "Mianmianmian, you only care about face. Go and comfort me with your face. I don't need your comfort."
"No, you are more important. Don't be angry. The noodles are not tasty anymore. I will cook another bowl later." Shang Nuan was tough and pulled Cao Wei back into his arms.
Cao Wei cried for a while and felt much better, but a little embarrassed. Although she and Shang Nuan had a good relationship, this was actually her first time crying in front of others, and Shang Nuan was her subordinate, which made her feel a little shy.
After a while, Cao Wei felt that she couldn't keep hugging him like this, otherwise where would her authority as a boss be?
Cao Wei gathered her emotions and coughed lightly to clear her throat. "Ahem, well, I'm back to normal now. I want to eat some noodles now."
Shang Nuan finally released her hand from Cao Wei's back. She looked at the bowl of noodles on the table and said, "Then I'll go make you another bowl. This one definitely won't taste good anymore."
"No, I'll just eat this. Everyone in the base has a hard time, we can't waste it." Cao Wei said as she was about to pick up the bowl, but Shang Nuan took it first.
"I'm hungry too, so let's not waste it. I'll heat up this bowl and eat it with you. Wait for me a moment." Shang Nuan said and walked out quickly with the bowl.
Cao Wei felt a little better. She looked at Shang Nuan's back as she left, chuckled and shook her head: "Are you stupid? I'm not an Omega. Do you need to coax me like this?"
But just thinking about Shang Nuan having an Omega by her side made Cao Wei feel uncomfortable. She muttered quietly, "It's better not to have an Omega. It's good to be single now."
Shang Nuan cooked another bowl of vegetable noodles for Cao Wei and heated up the previous bowl for herself. So when she returned, she brought two bowls of noodles and put the freshly cooked one on Cao Wei's side. She sat opposite Cao Wei and ate the slightly lumpy bowl.
of.
Cao Wei felt relieved but was also really hungry, and her bowl of noodles was quickly finished. Shang Nuan saw that Cao Wei was in a better mood, and she also felt relieved.
While eating noodles, she was thinking, if only what Xiao Yu said to her was true, if only she could be Cao Wei's little lover. This was the first time she hugged Cao Wei today, and when she was unhappy. Shang Nuan thought that she would rather not hug Cao Wei than make her unhappy.
When Cao Wei saw Shang Nuan finish her noodles, she felt a little embarrassed when she recalled how she had just hugged Shang Nuan and cried. She politely told her to leave: "I'm much better now. Thank you for staying with me just now. You should go back and rest early too. I'm really much better now."
Shang Nuan glanced at Cao Wei for a few times, hesitant to speak: "Okay then, I'll go back first."
She kept looking back as she walked, and when she was almost at the door, she finally mustered up the courage to tell Cao Wei what she had wanted to say for a long time: "Actually, alpha and alpha's pheromones are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Alpha and alpha can also try."
Shang Nuan didn't wait for Cao Wei's reaction after she finished speaking and ran out like the wind. Her face and ears were all red, and she didn't look so cool as usual at all. But what she was thinking in her heart was, she had explained it so clearly, could it be that Cao Wei still didn't understand?
Cao Wei was also stunned for a moment. Considering Shang Nuan's recent behavior, her heart began to beat fast. "So she's hinting at something? That's unlikely, right?"
Cao Wei was really too tired, her mind was filled with too many things, and she really didn't want to guess what Shang Nuan meant at the moment. She thought it would be better to ask directly tomorrow morning, otherwise if she misunderstood, it would be more awkward to get along with her in the future.
After washing up, Cao Wei went to bed early, but Shang Nuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep much the whole night, thinking about Cao Wei's reaction, not knowing that Cao Wei had already fallen asleep soundly.
Shang Nuan came early the next morning. Cao Wei was eating breakfast as usual and looking at the latest documents reported by the first district. Seeing that Cao Wei had no intention of mentioning what happened yesterday, Shang Nuan just made trouble and wandered in front of Cao Wei several times, forcing Cao Wei to face up to the fact that there was someone walking in front of her.
Cao Wei glanced at Shang Nuan, stood up, walked in front of Shang Nuan, coughed lightly, and asked, "What did you mean by what you said last night? What about alpha and alpha?"
Shang Nuan gritted her teeth and didn't step back, but her legs felt a little weak after hearing Cao Wei's questioning. Cao Wei was standing too close to her.
Shang Nuan kept encouraging herself in her heart. She had wanted to do this for a long time, so long that she had almost forgotten that this little thought had been buried in her heart for several years. Finally, she mustered up the courage and took a step forward and kissed him.
