Fu Ke quietly selected the red cross in the upper right corner of the notification box. He tried to pretend that he didn’t see anything, but his mind was filled with the word ‘estrus’. His curiosity getting the best of him, he sent Fu Yue a message.
[What should I pay attention to when an Omega goes into estrus?]
This must be exactly what I thought! Seeing this message, the mask on Fu Yue’s face almost fell off in shock. Reapplying the mask, she quickly sent over a big chunk of text explaining the things to take note off. In the end, she also added:
[Brother, why are you suddenly interested in this kind of thing? Did you find me a sister-in-law?]
Fu Ke looked at Ning An, who was earnestly drawing diagrams next to him. Then he looked at the message Fu Yue had sent him again. Seeing the word ‘sister-in-law’, an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.
[It’s nothing. I just need it for academic research purposes.]
Fuck your academic research purposes! Fu Yue really wanted to give him a video call and yell at him, but thinking of Fu Ke’s solemn face, she didn’t have the courage to do so. Hence, she could only switch to sending Derek a message.
[Hey Derek, did my brother make any new friends at school?]
[Why are you suddenly so concerned about your brother?]
[That’s none of your business. So did he? Hurry up and tell me!]
[Well, I suppose he did. Your brother has been following him to the library these days.]
Ha, I knew it! In her heart, Fu Yue gave her own intuition a like.
[What’s his name? What kind of person is he?]
[Ning An ah. He’s a pretty hardworking person.]

Ning An? Fu Yue thought, isn’t he Ning Meng’s brother? “Ning Meng Meng, your brother is a Beta, right?”

[Is there anyone else besides him?]
[No. Don’t you know your own brother? Isn’t it already good that he could make one friend? How many more friends do you want him to make?]
[Mm…… is there an Omega in your year?]
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Sis, are you trying to make me laugh to death? In reality, it’s impossible for there to be an Omega in our school. Did you read too many novels?]
[Alright, enough. I understand. You can continue lifting your dumbbells.] Fu Yue looked at that long string of hahahahaha’s and resentfully beat up her bear-shaped body pillow to vent her anger.
Humph! What no Omega? My brother found one!
Ning An and Fu Ke didn’t leave the library until it was about to close. Since their dormitory buildings were next to each other, they walked together on the way back.
“That, you should properly rest these days and take care of your body.” Fu Ke thought of the things Fu Yue had sent him and tried to make his voice sound as superficial as possible.
“Hm, are my dark circles that serious?” Ning An hadn’t applied the eye cream for a few days. Did they reappear that fast? When he gets back to the dorm, he should apply some more. He must not let Ning Meng see it!
“You don’t have any dark circles.” Fu Ke even stopped and carefully looked at Ning An. Thinking that he was still too thin, he said, “You should also eat more, like meat.”
“Meat is too greasy. If I eat too much, I won’t be able to develop abs.” Ning An looked at his smooth stomach and felt depressed. He had trained every day without slacking off!
“Speaking of which, Derek’s figure is so good ah.” Especially his abs.
“Actually, my figure is as good as his.” Fu Ke blurted out without thinking. “Do you want to look?”
After saying this, Fu Ke felt as if the atmosphere had changed. There was no expression on his face, but in his heart, he really wished he had sewn his mouth shut a minute ago. What was he saying!
“Hahahahaha!” Ning An was momentarily dazed before letting out a laugh. “You are really amusing.” He then patted Fu Ke’s shoulder. “Okay, if I get the opportunity, I’ll be very honoured to feast my eyes on your body.”
Unknowingly, they had reached the fork in the road leading to their dormitory buildings. After saying goodbye to Fu Ke, Ning An let out a sigh of relief. He had discovered something—–
The top students all liked to kill the atmosphere!
*****
When the date displayed on Ning An’s terminal arrived, Fu Ke started to restlessly look around the cafeteria during breakfast.
“Fu, what are you looking for? Is today’s breakfast not to your liking?” Ever since he was questioned by Fu Yue, Derek also became a little curious; did Fu Ke make another friend recently?
“It’s nothing.” Derek could tell that this was a half-hearted reply, because although Fu Ke said this, his eyes still didn’t return to the food on the table.
Derek also tried to follow his gaze and look around, but he couldn’t find what he was looking for. Pursing his lips, he decided to forget about it and dig into his breakfast.
The same thing happened at lunch; it was even to the point that Fu Ke had almost spilt soup all over Derek.
“Hey, listen, Fu.” Derek was grateful for his quick reflexes. “I don’t know what’s wrong with you today, but if you’re looking for someone, I suggest you use your terminal to send them a message. If you don’t have them added as a friend, then just forget I said anything.”
Fu Ke suddenly realised how much of an idiot he was and immediately sent a message to Ning An.
[Are you still coming to the library tonight?]
Derek watched as Fu Ke stared at his terminal while absent-mindedly scooping up the soup. “If you keep staring, your soup will go cold. Fu, are you in love?”
“Um, no.” Fu Ke paused for a moment when he heard this and then put down the spoon. Just when he wanted to say something else, his gaze was firmly captured by Ning An’s reply.
[I won’t be bothering you tonight. I won’t be at school for the next few days.]
Seeing Fu Ke’s eyebrows furrow, Derek felt that his guess couldn’t be far off. It was just that Fu Ke himself might not have noticed it.
“I’m done.” Fu Ke drank the rest of the soup in one go and stood up to leave with the empty tray. “I’ll be going first.”
“Hey, wait!” Derek looked at Fu Ke’s back and suddenly thought of the phrase ‘value lover over friends’. He muttered a few words in his heart before he sped up and finished eating his lunch. Just as he was leaving, he happened to run into He Xin who was heading in the same direction.
“Hello.” Derek had a good impression of this sunny and cheerful youth. He remembered that he was always with Ning An. “You’re by yourself today?”
“Hello, Student Li……” He Xin suddenly remembered that Derek had told him to call him by his name. He quickly fixed his words and replied: “Hello, Derek. Ning An will be away for the next few days.”
Chen Si Yu and Wang Yi always came and left together because they both had mental strength training. Although He Xin had a good relations with the other students in his class, he wasn’t particularly close with any of them, so he could only eat by himself.
“Do you want to go together to the training ground tonight?” Derek felt that He Xin looked a little lonely and hence decided to make an offer. “Or are you going to the library?”
“I was planning to go to the library.” Song Xing had praised He Xin in the morning class, saying that he had made great progress. However, the mecha structures mentioned in theory class always gave him a headache. One time, he had almost fallen asleep in class, so he felt that he needed to spend some more time studying.
“Student Liszt should have your own plans, right? I can go by myself.” He Xin had learnt from Wang Yi that Derek came from an influential military family. The knowledge learnt in class must be very easy for him to understand.
“I told you that you can just call me Derek.” Derek noticed that He Xin was still a little reserved around him. “I’ve decided that my plan today is to be together with you.”
“Ai, isn’t this very troublesome for you?” He Xin didn’t expect Derek to offer to accompany him. Although it sounded strange, He Xin still happily smiled and his eyes curved into two arcs. “Well, thank you. Then I’ll see you in the library tonight.”
How can someone smile so brilliantly? I only said that I was going to accompany him to the library. Derek resisted the urge to rub He Xin’s head and nodded: “Okay, I’ll see you at the library.”
Why derek and he xin’s interaction is soo cute XD
My ship continues to saillllll!!!! Derek x He Xin!!!!
