"We write logs on the terminals every day to record what happened that day, so as to avoid missing information after the exchange."

"The long-term pass you gave me has always been in my terminal, so that those who live in the dungeon can return to the top floor at any time."

"Who first suggested the swap? Guess."

Chen Nian told Shaflay a lot.

Basically, he answered everything Shafley asked.

Chen Nian thought he was a bit nagging, but when he thought about how he was just being considerate of Chen Ci, he continued to play the quiz game honestly.

"Everything about the Chen family is written in the files. I have read them before, so I know a little bit about them."

Shafley paused and said, "The files say that the butler rushed into the main house to save you, but his whereabouts are unknown. The investigation team was unable to find his body, so they can only assume that both of you died in the fire."

"I've heard what Chen Ci said. To be honest, the Marshal was fighting desperately on the front line to guard the beacon, but such a serious accident happened at home. What on earth did you top leaders do? Isn't this a deliberate prank? My family is in such a miserable state."

Chen Nian is outspoken and has no scruples. He has no sense of belonging to the top class or the royal family, so of course he says whatever he wants.

Similar doubts must have existed in Chen Ci's mind, but due to his personality he never expressed them. Now Chen Nian complained about them all.

Shafley: …………

Shafley: "After the fire, everyone was shocked. Father organized a special investigation team and conducted a detailed investigation for several months. However, the final result was permanently sealed in the file and not announced to the outside world. I have always felt that there must be another hidden story."

"Anyone with a sound mind would think there's something else going on." Chen Nian stroked his chin, raised his eyes to look at Shafulai's face, and asked tentatively, "Could it be related to your family?"

Shafley: "Are you saying that the royal family deliberately harmed Marshal Chen Weiyuan?"

Chen Nian quickly threw up his hands and said, "I didn't say that. You brought it up yourself."

Shafulai was silent for a moment, then said, "I have indeed thought about this possibility, but the relationship between our two families has always been good. After the marshal's death, my father was also depressed for a long time."

Shafley still has some vague memories of his childhood. He remembers being taken to Chen's house by his father, and the early morning sun was as bright as it is today.

Shaflay no longer remembers what Chen Wei looked like. From the child's perspective, the marshal was so tall, smiling and touching his head.

The two newborn children were lying in the stroller. He leaned over the railing, looking at one and then the other, but he couldn't tell the twins apart at all.

The twins have identical moon-shaped birthmarks on their shoulders.

The Chen family's housekeeper said in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, can you guess which one is the older brother and which one is the younger brother?"

Shafla couldn't guess, so he just pointed to one at random.

Then his fingers were grabbed by the baby's waving hands. The chubby little hands were as soft as cotton candy, and Shafulai was so frightened that he quickly pulled his fingers back.

"This is the younger brother." The housekeeper explained to him patiently, "The one with the birthmark on the left is the younger brother, and the one on the right is the older brother."

The six-year-old Shafley tilted his head and watched for a while. His father and Chen Wei were talking in the living room, and they seemed to be talking about some serious topic.

He didn't remember, but when he left for the last time, his father's expression seemed particularly solemn.

Chen Nian did not comment on Shafley's explanation.

He was just putting forward a possible guess. After all, aren’t these power struggles among the upper echelons the stuff of bad descriptions in various literary works? There are many similar things in history.

Shafley also asked Chen Nian how his life was like in the underground city over the past decade or so. Whether Alpha was asking out of concern or curiosity, Chen Nian had no intention of telling him and simply brushed it off lightly.

He didn't want to give Shafla any possible leverage over him.

Shafla was relieved after confirming that Chen Ci was living well in the dungeon.

He still believed Chen's words more. After all, he had known him for so many years and knew that he was reliable enough.

Chen Nian's guardian should be the Chen family's housekeeper back then. He has been hiding his identity for many years and has taken very good care of Chen Nian.

It was obvious that Chen Nian was not the type to suffer loss, and he should be able to live well even in the chaotic dungeon.

"By the way, how did you find out that I'm not Chen Ci?" Although he felt that the difference was indeed quite obvious, Chen Nian couldn't help but ask Shafley, wanting to know where he was not pretending well enough.

Shaflay motioned for him to hold out his hand.

Chen Nian stretched out his hand, and Shafulai turned over Chen Nian's fist, gently bent his fingers, and opened them into a palm.

Touched the thin coil at the base of his fingers.

Chen Nian: “…Fuck.”

Chen Nian didn't expect that it would be such a detail that would expose himself. Thinking carefully, Shafley seemed to have touched his hand several times with various excuses. Was this his intention?

Omegas are not thin. Compared to those young masters and young ladies who pursue a slim figure, they are more powerful, and their hands are soft because of the flesh.

Chen Nian did a lot of housework, but it was not heavy work. Compared with the more energetic Shafulai, the temperature of his palms was slightly lower.

"Chen Ci hates physical contact with others. If it were him sitting here, what do you think his reaction would be?"

Chen Nian thought for a moment, then deliberately turned his hand over and slapped Shafulai hard, pretending to be angry and said, "You bastard!"

Shafla laughed.

There is actually a more important reason why he was able to recognize Chen's thoughts and words.

For two long years, he and Chen Ci were both troubled by pheromone insensitivity. Although they had a high genetic compatibility, they could not develop any feelings for each other.

Aside from the fact that Chen Ci was naturally emotionally indifferent, it was also because the two of them grew up together, and Shaflay was six years older than Chen Ci.

When Shafley differentiated into Alpha, Chen Ci was only ten years old, still a child.

It is normal not to have any other feelings under such circumstances.

But Shafley only met Chen Nian when he was 24 years old.

As soon as they met, there was a natural attraction between AO. The fragrance of tuberose and the sweetness of sherry blended together, lingering around the nose, awakening every dormant cell.

Shafley didn't intend to explain that some things didn't need to be explained so clearly.

I got the terminal you asked me for the day before yesterday."

Shafley stood up, took the brand new packaging box from the shelf, and handed it to Chen Nian: "You can use this to write your diary in the future, and you and Chen Ci will be able to communicate smoothly."

Chen Nian opened the box and found that it was the latest model that was released last month. It was the same color as the one Chen Ci was using now.

Chen Nian turned on the terminal and put it on his wrist. It was quite comfortable.

The terminal came with a social networking software. Chen Nian skillfully searched for the ID number of his terminal, applied to add a friend, and wrote in the note column: "Brother, I got a new terminal."

Afterwards, Chen Nian turned off the terminal, put it back into the box, and said, "Thank you."

Shafley also heard Chen Nian talk about transferring money through Gui Zhiqi's bank account, and said, "If you need money in the future, you can let me transfer it. It's safer."

"Okay." Chen Nian didn't bother to be polite with him. "Give me 20,000 OG first. We don't have any income in the underground city, and I'm afraid Chen Ci will run out of money."

Without saying a word, Shafley transferred the money to Chen Nian's account.

This totals 50,000 Augie, which should be enough to cover Chen Ci's expenses in the dungeon for three weeks.

Shaflay: "As for your request yesterday not to be trapped in the White Tower, I have thought of a way. I wonder if you are willing to do so."

"What?"

"Chen Ci and I are engaged, and we have always tacitly agreed that we will no longer have to live in the White Tower once we are married and truly united."

Chen Nian raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Shafley noticed his expression and said, "So we can pretend that our relationship has warmed up and ask to stay in the palace. After that, you can walk around the palace freely, and it will be more convenient for you to travel if you are closer to me."

Chen Nian narrowed his eyes and looked at Shafla for two seconds, Alpha's violet eyes serious.

After confirming that the Crown Prince simply wanted to solve the problem and did not have other ulterior motives, Chen Nian began to think.

Staying in the palace... sounds like a good idea indeed.

The huge palace would at least allow him to play around for a while, and since he lived close to Shafla, he could always find him whenever he wanted to go out.

Moreover, in the palace, he was able to escape the surveillance of the White Tower's intelligent butler.

"Okay." Chen Niangan agreed crisply, "Where do I live?"

"Is it okay to be next to my room?"

"OK."

"Then I'll find someone to clean it up for you."

"But I have to make one thing clear in advance." Chen Nian said seriously, "You and I have nothing to do with each other. It was Chen Ci who entered into an engagement with you, not me. The reason I swapped places is that I wanted to freely experience the upper-class life."

"So, during this period, you cannot discipline me in any way as my fiancé. Of course, I will also try my best to be careful not to do anything too extreme."

At this time, Shafley did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Chen Nian's statement. He and Chen Ci had not yet married, so he had no right to make comments when facing his fiancée's younger brother.

Shafulai stood up and said, "I'll ask someone to prepare it. You can go around and find a seat you like."

Chen Nian nodded, put down the empty wine glass, and stretched lazily. In front of Shafulai, he was Chen Nian and there was no need to pretend.

The boy's lithe body stretched out, the hem of his shirt was pulled up, revealing a small section of his slender waist, so white that it dazzled Shaflay's eyes.

Faintly, through the thin fabric of the shirt, Shaflay seemed to see some faint marks on Chen Nian's abdomen, like some kind of patterns?

Or maybe he was mistaken.

Shafulai turned on the smart butler system again and walked out of the bedroom with Chen Nian. As soon as they opened the door, they saw the butler and a group of maids standing in the corridor.

Everyone was whispering with joy in front of them, but when they saw the two of them come out, they quickly adjusted their expressions and demeanor, demonstrating the superb quality of royal staff.

But he couldn't help but glance at the exposed parts of Chen Nian's neck and wrists, as if he wanted to find some traces on them.

Chen Nian gave them a strange look and went to play by himself.

Shafley ordered, "Go prepare your things. Chen Ci will live in the palace from now on. I will go to negotiate with the White Tower."

Butler and waiters: ? ! ? ! ? ! ? !

Oh my God! Not only did His Highness take the princess into the bedroom for such a long time, he also asked them to prepare the room!
