Chapter 21



The fine raindrops drifted in the wind, blowing on the exposed skin, bringing coolness.

When Shafley finished his afternoon class, he took off his tactical gloves and was immediately handed a wet towel to wipe the gunpowder residue from between his fingers.

After experiencing the global flooding disaster, the human race, whose living space was gradually compressed, showed unprecedented solidarity and moved into the beacon, but the crisis did not stop there.

The primitive creatures in the ocean have a strong desire to attack beacons, and humans have to build a large number of fortifications to resist wave after wave of attacks.

So even with extremely limited resources, Beacon is vigorously developing its military.

Antonio took off his glasses and put his hand on Shaflay's shoulder: "What's wrong? You don't look very interested."

Antonio is the only son of the Minister of Education and has known Shafley since childhood.

The two have a good relationship, but their personalities are very different. Compared to Shaflay's dullness, Antonio is more cheerful. He is gentlemanly and considerate. As a typical nobleman, he is the dream lover of many Omega boys and girls.

Shafley shook his head without saying a word. He looked at the moving target in the distance that was riddled with holes, unable to control his wandering thoughts.

——Is Chen Ci awake now? How is his rest? Is he feeling better?

He glanced at the terminal and saw no incoming messages.

Shafulai let out a sigh of relief, not quite sure what was happening to him.

He and Antonio sat on a bench to rest. Anton threw a can of beer to him. Shafley opened the pull ring with one hand, and white foam gushed out.

The sound of the boy's breathing rang in my ears again, along with the drunken words "You're so sweet".

Shafla immediately took two gulps of wine to cover up his embarrassment at the moment.

"Are we going out to play tomorrow?" Antonio asked him.

"Where are you going?"

"At the harbor base, you can bring your princess with you."

The Harbor Base is an extension of the base platform surrounding Cinnabar and is also the place closest to the sea. When they were watching the sea together on the shore the day before yesterday, Chen Nian also asked Shafley.

Shafley naturally understood this as a lie and was quite interested in it.

The sight of the young man laughing wildly under the sky was so dazzling, and such a completely different behavior from his usual self, that Shafley realized that this was the best way for him to make up for his words.

"I'll ask him," Shafley agreed.

Chen Ci will definitely be very happy to hear this news.

Antonio smiled even more deeply: "You really are willing to let such a good fiancée stay at home all day. If I hadn't seen it that day, I would have believed those rumors."

"It wasn't very convenient before, and he doesn't like crowded places." Shafley didn't say much. It just so happened that Chen Ci was not feeling well today and needed to rest. Tomorrow everyone could go out for a good trip together to let him relax.

Meanwhile, the White Tower.

Chen Ci read all the logs left by Chen Nian.

He is now in a state where he can't utter a word.

It wasn't because Chen Nian met a lot of people at the Royal Dinner and found a friend for him. Seeing his younger brother doing so well, Chen Ci was quite pleased.

Instead, Chen Nian postponed all his classes in the past few days and squeezed them into the week when he returned.

"Show me this week's schedule."

A virtual screen unfolded in front of Chen Ci, revealing a densely packed schedule of classes from 8:30 in the morning to 9:00 in the evening.

Chen Ci: ………………

He was silent for a moment, then reached out and tapped on the screen a few times: "I'm not feeling well, so I won't be attending these few classes."

Chen Ci picked out the subjects he disliked the most, such as flower arrangement and vocal music.

Smart Butler: "Okay."

Chen Ci breathed a sigh of relief. He had never been willful before. No matter how much he didn't want to attend a class, he would force himself to study.

Chen Nian's recklessness made him yearn for it uncontrollably, and also made him try to be willful for once.

Now it seems that it is not a difficult task.

"I don't like these two subjects." Chen Ci continued, "Don't arrange flower arrangement and vocal music for me anymore in the future."

Smart Butler: "Your Highness has been studying these two courses since he was twelve years old—"

"I never liked it."

The smart butler was silent for a moment: "Okay, from today on, I will no longer make arrangements for you."

It turns out that it is not difficult to say no.

He doesn't need to respond to everything in silence.

Chen Ci hummed, then he opened Chen Nian's diary again, took the pen, and circled the conclusion that "Shapley is a scumbag" with a red line.

It's a big question mark.

Chen Nian got up sleepily.

Such a shocking incident happened just after he came back yesterday, which made him more determined to deal with everything completely before exchanging words with Chen Ci.

Moving was not possible, not only was the time too short, but he also had no way of explaining it to Uncle Jiang.

Chen Nian will definitely resign from the nightclub and will no longer have anything to do with that place from now on. As for the other Alphas who are still thinking about him, there is nothing they can do for the time being.

Chen Nian scratched his hair irritably.

He leaned against the head of the bed and opened the log interface of the terminal, wanting to see what his brother, who had lived a noble life since childhood, had experienced, before he thought about coming down again.

Chen Ci's writing style is as plain and calm as ever, and he uses the simplest language to perfectly narrate things.

When Chen Ci came down, he only had 0.11 Auggies left in his terminal account. He couldn't afford to eat or drive a car. Chen Nian touched his nose in embarrassment.

He had forgotten about it at the time, and if the statement hadn't been written in the terminal, he probably wouldn't have remembered it now.

Afterwards, Chen Ci was blocked by six thugs with colorful hair in the alley. Chen Ci taught them a little lesson. At this juncture, he met an Alpha named Fu Tianhe.

Chen Nian suddenly perked up. The description of Alpha's golden prosthetic eye reminded him of the kind-hearted person who helped him escape last night.

It must be him, that Fu Tianhe, otherwise there is no reason for him to suddenly appear and tell me to run quickly.

Great job, bro. I’ve only been here two hours and I’ve already met an interesting Alpha.

Chen Nian's curiosity suddenly burned, but he suppressed his excitement and continued reading.

Later he saw the two of them meet by chance at a garbage dump in the West District. Fu Tianhe took the slow-witted brother home and asked for his contact information.

Of course, he was given his terminal number, but Chen Nian said it didn't matter because he could change it back later.

Almost every day that Chen Ci spends in the dungeon is related to this Fu Tianhe.

Seeing the two people going to the amusement park and passing by the transportation department, they almost bumped into Drake. Chen Ci dodged in time, while Fu Tianhe witnessed the whole process.

In the end, it was concluded that Chen Ci owed Drake a lot of money.

Chen Nian fell on the bed, almost laughing crazy.

No wonder, Fu Tianhe probably thought that Drake was asking him for a debt last night.

But it's better this way. If his brother doesn't know about his troubles, there will be less trouble for him and Fu Tianhe to get along with each other in the future.

After seeing how Chen Ci, under the pseudonym "September", interacted with Fu Tianhe, Chen Nian suddenly came up with an idea.

During the days of identity exchange, can Fu Tianhe be asked to look after Chen Ci?

Fu Tianhe is an Alpha and is definitely interested in his brother.

The fact that he spent 10,500 Auggies to buy a pass even though he couldn't afford to eat was enough to prove this point.

Not to mention that last night he had a big fight with Drake who came to "collect debt" because of "September".

Chen Nian looked at the extra teddy bear doll on the bedside, which was also a gift from Fu Tianhe to Chen Ci after he won it in a game.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible, but he couldn't make a decision so quickly.

We need to test this person again to see if he has pure intentions. After all, all signs indicate that Fu Tianhe is attracted to Chen Ci because of her beauty.

Chen Nian had met too many Alphas and knew their plans too well. Many of them were extremely nice when they first started pursuing someone, and they wanted to show their hearts to others, acting like bootlickers.

Once he gets the girl, his true scumbag nature becomes apparent. He speaks perfunctorily and doesn't work seriously anymore. He is completely different from before.

Chen Nian stroked his chin and thought for a while, then opened the address book on the terminal and found Fu Tianhe's name among a group of Alphas.

The other party sent him a message a few hours ago.

Chen Nian was still asleep at that time, and the message reminder was drowned out by the chat with other people and went unnoticed.

[Have you arrived home? Are you injured? ]

【September?】

[Are you asleep? If you see this message, please reply to me. I am a little worried about you. ]

Chen Nian looked through the chat history and found that Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe were added on the first day of the exchange.

After that, the two of them hardly talked at all, except on the second to last day, when Fu Tianhe sent them an address location of a tattoo shop on the commercial street.

Chen Nian had already figured out Chen Ci's style of speaking and doing things from his diary, so he imitated Chen Ci and replied:

[Sorry, I was taking a break. How are you?]

Fu Tianhe's terminal vibrated due to the "special attention" setting.

He immediately grabbed the terminal from the table and almost knocked the doctor's glass of water away.

"Be careful." The doctor frowned.

"He replied to my message!" Fu Tianhe held the terminal in his gauze-wrapped hands, staring at the message from "September", unable to suppress his excitement, "He replied to me!"

"Yeah." The doctor agreed perfunctorily, and pressed the cotton ball held by tweezers hard against Fu Tianhe's face. The Alpha groaned and almost jumped up from the stool.

Fu Tianhe burst into tears from the pain. He looked at the reply from "Jiu Yue" with tears in his eyes and yelled, "Be gentle! It hurts so much!"

"I thought you were so happy that you didn't feel anything." The doctor continued to wipe the wound on his face.

Last night, Fu Tianhe threw two bricks, jumped down from the wall, and saved Chen Nian who was being questioned by Drake.

He and Drake were entangled in a fight, from one end of the alley to the other.

Drake, who worked as a clerk in the Transportation Department, was not physically able to match Fu Tianhe, who worked as a mechanic, and he was soon beaten to the point where he couldn't even get up.

Fu Tianhe got up panting and said some vicious words to Drake, such as "Be careful when you walk next time" and "If I see you again, I won't just beat you up."

It’s a pity that Jiu Yue didn’t get to see his handsome figure.

Fu Tianhe won the fight, but he was also injured. He had bruises on his face and several bruises on his body. The knuckles of his fists were red and swollen from the physical fight.

He sent a message to Chen Ci, but received no reply, so he went home and rested for a while.

When he woke up, the wound on his cheekbone looked even more miserable, so Fu Tianhe went to the black clinic and asked the doctor to help him treat it.

He didn't want the injury to remain for too long. If he saw September again, wouldn't it affect his handsome image?

"Gently, gently!" Fu Tianhe gasped, "It didn't hurt that much at first, but now you're doing this to me it hurts like hell."

The doctor rolled his eyes, threw the cotton ball soaked in iodine into the trash can, applied medicine to Fu Tianhe, and then covered him with gauze: "It's done, he won't die."

Fu Tianhe touched himself in the mirror and made sure that he was still as handsome after the gauze was applied, which made him feel a little relieved.

He endured the pain in his hands and face and replied to September: [I'm glad you're okay. I'm fine too.]

He paused, then replied: [Don't worry, I gave that guy a lesson, he probably won't dare to look for you again in the near future.]

The doctor glanced at his terminal interface, stood up and wiped his hands, and said, "Do you still need to inject the gene corrector? It's time for you."

"I don't have any money recently." Fu Tianhe raised his head, a little distressed, "How about waiting for two days?"

"If you don't want to live, you can wait." The doctor said slowly, "If you are not afraid of being arrested by the quarantine station, please feel free to do so."

Fu Tianhe clicked his tongue.

"Forget it, just give it to me, and I'll give you the money in two days."

The doctor smiled and took out an injection from the refrigerator in the corner: "It's already prepared for you."

Fu Tianhe rolled up his sleeves, and the doctor shook the light red medicine, sucked it into the syringe, and injected it into Fu Tianhe's strong arm.

The gene corrector was injected into the muscle, the needle was pulled out, Fu Tianhe pressed the needle hole with a cotton swab and asked, "Why does the injection hurt you so much more than the nurse's?"

Doctor: "If you have nothing to do, get out of here and don't delay my business."

"Just get out of here."

Fu Tianhe's mind was filled with what Jiu Yue would say in reply, and he had no mood to argue with the doctor. He stood up and walked away with brisk steps.

Chen Nian looked at the reply that came immediately and knew that Fu Tianhe had probably been waiting for news from Chen Ci.

He couldn't meet with Fu Tianhe, so he had fewer means to test him.

If it was purely out of lust, he would definitely not be able to resist meeting Chen Ci more often, and would sharpen his mind to get closer to him.

Like Drake.

In this way, he could leave Fu Tianhe alone for a few days to observe his reaction, and then after another exchange, let his brother personally determine whether this man is trustworthy.

He wasn't really September anyway.

Chen Ci possesses extremely strong mental strength, and he even took down six thugs in the alley by himself. If Fu Tianhe was left out and became angry and wanted to do something bad, he would probably not get any good results.

If Fu Tianhe can still maintain the same attitude as now, then we can trust him for now.

It's a pity that I can't contact Chen Ci now, otherwise it would be more appropriate to discuss such matters together.

Chen Nian made up his mind. He wrote down his detailed plan in his diary. Finally, he took a look at Fu Tianhe's message and closed the chat interface with him.
