Chapter 37 Ex-husband and Current Family Reunion

"When can you...recover your memory?"

When will the title of Imperial General be restored?

Shen Zhi looked a little cautious, not knowing whether his question was too abrupt.

"I'll try my best," was the only answer Li Lansheng could give to Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi's eyelashes trembled, and his voice was almost like sweet soup, almost inaudible, "Hmm."

Li Lansheng stood up, put the chair back to its original position, and said calmly, "Eat slowly."

When Li Lansheng left, Shen Zhi's shoulders collapsed instantly, and he felt so weak that he couldn't lift a muscle.

He didn't want to deceive Li Lansheng, so he tried every means to deal with him and make Shen Zhi feel annoyed.

Shen Zhi turned on the computer.

The comments on the optical computer changed direction, and many people sympathized with Shen Zhi. "There is still one month left. If General Li doesn't come back, according to the imperial law, Shen Zhi should match an alpha to help her give birth smoothly." "In fact, marrying Major General Zhuang You is also good. At least she can keep General Li's offspring."

They didn't know that Li Lansheng had returned safely, and the one-month deadline was not valid for Shen Zhi. Shen Zhi was worried, what would he do if Li Lansheng never remembered and could never meet him in person?

Shen Zhi shook off his ridiculous thoughts. He was the Empire's God of War, how could he disappear from the public eye? Shen Zhi decided to believe Li Lansheng.

"I will wait for Lan Sheng to return and give birth to the child alone."

Shen Zhi made clear his attitude. The title of the empire's wife is always more prestigious than that of a major general's wife. If it were not for the necessary circumstances, Shen Zhi would not give up the promotion easily.

Shen Zhi looked at the bowl of mung bean soup in his hand, in which his face was clearly reflected. He was a mediocre beta, without the natural talents of an alpha. Only by clinging to an alpha could he make his own way.

Shen Zhi put down the spoon, poured the remaining soup into the garbage disposer, put the bowl and spoon into the dishwasher before leaving.

Shen Zhi hadn't seen Li Lansheng for several days, and the one who often came was Zhuang You. The mecha competition was imminent, and Shen Zhi's latest mecha design was still lacking the most critical materials.

"I know there's a place that might have what you need," Zhuang You said hesitantly, "but it's a bit far away."

"It doesn't matter," Shen Zhi said with a gleaming look in his eyes, and raised his lips, "As long as we can find it, it's fine."

Zhuang You's gaze lingered on the small pear-shaped ridge on Shen Zhiche. The small depression made her look soft and sweet. Zhuang You closed his eyes and said "hmm".

Zhuang You took Shen Zhi to the garbage planet, which was also the place where Zhuang You grew up. Zhuang You thought that Shen Zhi would have some adverse reactions after living and being pampered on the planet for so many years, but Shen Zhi was still full of energy.

"The security here is not good, young master, please follow me closely," Zhuang You helped the physically disabled Shen Zhi get off the spaceship and put a hood on Shen Zhi.

The garbage planet not only has poor security, but also a very harsh environment. Without protective clothing, Shen Zhi would be easily harmed. Protecting the surrogate father is the first priority.

As for Zhuang You, he was accustomed to the environment of the garbage planet and had no protective measures on him.

Shen Zhi was wearing thin gloves and wrapped himself tightly around his body. He thought it was very strange. Shen Zhi looked around and found that many people were dressed like this.

The fertility rate of omegas on the garbage planet is low, and many omegas are born every year. Born on such a planet, most of them will become tools for the rich and powerful to vent their sexual desires, which is the best treatment they can get in exchange for their bodies.

Therefore, many alphas from Star City would come here to play, and if they didn’t want to reveal their identities, they would dress like this.

Zhuang You did not tell Shen Zhi about this to avoid dirtying Shen Zhi's ears.

The young master, who lives a rich and worry-free life, should be looking at the flowers in full bloom instead of the reality of these vicious wolves snatching food from him.

"The black market opens in the evening. Do you want to go eat first, young master?" Zhuang You asked Shen Zhi for his opinion.

Shen Zhi felt hungry and nodded, "Let's go eat first."

Zhuang You knew that Shen Zhi didn't like nutrient solution, and there were not many restaurants on the entire Garbage Planet that cooked ancient Earth food. Zhuang You found a restaurant according to his memory.

It was a bungalow, shabby and outdated, not even as good as the stalls in Xingdu. Shen Zhi looked at the few people eating in the restaurant and wondered, "If no one eats here, will the food be delicious?"

Zhuang You took Shen Zhi to sit in a secluded corner and wiped all the tables and chairs before Shen Zhi sat down. While waiting for the food, Zhuang You boiled the bowls and chopsticks with boiling water. "It's not that no one wants to eat, it's just that it's too expensive and we can't afford it."

Shen Zhi wisely did not ask why he couldn't afford it. Why not eat meat porridge?

"What about you?" Hasn't the alpha Zhuangyou who possesses 2S-level pheromones ever tasted it?

Zhuang You raised his eyes, and his deep dark pupils looked at the curious expression on Shen Zhi's face. Zhuang You was a little surprised at Shen Zhi's curiosity about him.

"No." The left hand with the centipede scar on it rested on the dining table, curled up unnaturally. "I differentiated into an alpha when I was sixteen and was accepted by Tirans. Before that, I made a living by picking up garbage."

"Oh," Shen Zhi responded dryly, as if he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.

Zhuang You didn't think it was a big deal. Too many people were curious about his past experience, or to be more precise, the past of a 2S-level alpha.

However, what determines the differentiation and level of ABO is genes and luck. He has no successful experience to share. If you want to get any inspiring stories from him, he has none of them.

Zhuang You just had such great luck that he differentiated into a rare 2S-level alpha and became a leader overnight.

He had never had a full meal, or even clean food, before this.

He is different from Shen Zhi, it was decided from birth.

If he differentiates into a beta, he will have no chance of getting pregnant and marrying a level 3s alpha to change his fate.

The distance between him and Shen Zhi will always be as far as heaven.

He had envied Shen Zhi more than once, jealous of his good luck, standing on the cloud and effortlessly choosing a path that was not inferior to that of an alpha as a beta.

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Zhi interrupted the overly dark color in Zhuang You's eyes.

Zhuang You pulled himself out of his negative emotions and returned to his normal self. "I was just wondering why the young master wanted to find isolation materials."

"Isn't mecha confrontation a competition of defense and attack? What's the use of isolation materials?" Zhuang You was confused. He also participated in mecha confrontation competitions before, and basically chose to improve one aspect.

Within the specified time, the mecha with the lowest damage rate wins.

Is the insulation material fireproof and heatproof or is it resistant to insect slime erosion?

After all, the mecha that wins the mecha competition will be qualified to develop battlefield mechas, and these factors must be considered when developing combat mechas.

Shen Zhi had a conflicted look on his face. He didn't know whether he should tell Zhuang You or not. His thoughts made him seem very naive.

Zhuang You didn't intend to ask anything, "Young Master, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to..."

"It's for equality," Shen Zhi quickly expressed his thoughts.

Zhuang You didn't quite understand, "What?"

Shen Zhi pursed his lips. In his heart, he only used Zhuang You. Now he felt more guilty. It was unimaginable how hard it was for someone from the Garbage Star to climb up to the Star City step by step.

And he just lost the qualification to study mecha, but stepped on the top of the village, which made Shen Zhi ashamed.

"Isolate pheromones and suppress omegas' estrus." Shen Zhi didn't want to hide it from Zhuang You because Zhuang You had the same experience as those omegas, feeling miserable and helpless.

In Shen Zhi's cognition, Zhuang You can empathize with Omega and understand his thoughts. "As long as Omega can handle the estrus problem well, he can also go to the battlefield and contribute to the empire like Alpha."

In this way, both ABO and B can be equal.

"Young Master..." Zhuang You had never thought that Shen Zhi would answer like this. It was naive and foolish. He wanted Shen Zhi to give up this unrealistic idea, but the words in his throat were blocked by Shen Zhi, whose eyes were full of expectation and approval.

This is ridiculous. We have heard about the increasingly serious ao parity game. Even this mecha confrontation is the result of ao parity. The competition conditions have been relaxed to allow abo to participate.

Prior to this, only alphas were allowed to sign up, and omegas would only participate in the design of mechas for civilian use at home and on the road. They believed more in the aesthetics of omegas rather than their destructive power.

I just didn't expect that even Shen Zhi would join in. Aren't they vested interests? Why would they join this kind of movement?

Zhuang You's voice choked. While he was complaining about the unfairness of fate, Shen Zhi, who was born at the top, was trying every way to make changes. Even though it was useless, Zhuang You didn't know whether to laugh at Shen Zhi or at himself.

Those who suffer the most at the bottom curse those in high positions, while those who enjoy all the advantages act righteous and indifferent. It's all so ridiculous and pitiful.

"Very good," Zhuang You lowered his eyes and said after a while.

The restaurant's shabby TV was playing the news, which echoed in the empty restaurant each time, sounding harsh and distorted.

"The Third Prince of the Empire is an S-class omega who has reached marriageable age. The monarch and queen will select a suitable alpha for the Third Prince. The candidates are Imperial Major General Zhuang You, Li Chaosheng, the younger brother of Imperial Admiral Li Lansheng, and Grand Duke Feisi... All of them are 2S-class alphas, which are suitable for the Third Prince."

Shen Zhi heard Zhuang You's name on the list and asked, "Are you also a candidate?"

The dishes arrived. There were no fresh vegetables on Garbage Planet, and after a long period of transportation, they had lost their moisture and sweetness, and had a bitter taste in the mouth. However, for Zhuangyou, who rarely ate these, it was a delicacy.

"Yes," Zhuang You's eyes trembled slightly, "In fact, General Li is the best candidate in the monarch's mind."

"Oh," Shen Zhi paused, "Is it because of me?"

Because Shen Zhi married Li Lansheng, only 2S-level alphas including Zhuang You were qualified to marry the third prince.

Shen Zhi understood from Zhuang You's silent attitude that Li Lansheng could have entered the royal family, but he deprived Li Lansheng of his future.

Shen Zhi was listless and had no interest. He seemed to have done something unforgivable, just for himself.

The news on TV continued to report, "According to the Third Prince, he prefers Li Chaosheng because he admires General Li Lansheng very much. The least favored one among them is the rising star Zhuang You of the Empire, who does not have a family background that can rival the royal family, and he seems to be the candidate for General Li's wife..."

Shen Zhi bit the tip of his chopsticks, quickly glanced at Zhuang You's silent face, and apologized softly, "I'm sorry."

He should not have deceived the banker. Coming from a garbage planet, it was obviously so difficult, but he was kidnapped by his own morality and forced to become a scapegoat, reducing the chances of marrying the third prince.

"It's okay, actually..." Zhuang You was interrupted by Shen Zhi before he could finish his words.

"Now that Lan Sheng is back, I will release a star news release to make it clear that I will have nothing to do with you in the future," Shen Zhi promised.

Zhuang You's dark eyes seemed to be stained with ink, his thin lips were straightened into a straight line, and he stared at Shen Zhi who was apologizing to him.

It was obvious that he wanted to use Shen Zhi's good reputation as the wife of the emperor to rise to the top and squeeze into the upper echelons of Xingdu. For this, he endured Shen Zhi's bad temper and bore the pressure from the outside world.

General Li finally returned. There was no loss for him. People who take care of widows and orphans are always regarded as loyal and reliable. He even received many benefits in the military.

He knew that Shen Zhi loved General Li deeply, and just wanted to find someone to help him give birth to General Li's offspring smoothly. After General Li came back, he should return Shen Zhi to her exactly as she was and distance themselves from then on.

He didn't. He still took good care of Shen Zhi because General Li had lost his memory. He thought he was still using Shen Zhi, and in order to achieve perfection, he had to be a good person to the end.

But why did he feel betrayed when Shen Zhi clearly rejected his words? It was obvious that the value of marrying the third prince was far greater than Shen Zhi.

"what ever."
