“Ling Yue, will you come to my birthday party tomorrow?” The young man blinked his eyes, full of expectation, as he handed over an invitation card to his birthday party.

The young man named Ling Yue, his deskmate, was still writing with passion without raising his head.

“Not going.”

“Ah, you’re not coming ah~” The cat-eyed boy seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant; his ears drooped, and he lay listlessly on the table.

This is the fourth time Ling Yue has refused to attend his birthday party.

In fact, this is also the fourth year they have known each other.

They are both students at the Capital’s Omega High School and are in their senior year this year, but they still have two years to go before graduation.

In the interstellar age, the average life expectancy has reached 300 years. Correspondingly, the age at which everyone goes to school is gradually prolonging. dO4YG9

5–10 years old is the enlightenment stage of primary school;

11–15 years old, five years of junior high school education. This stage is also the differentiation time for human beings. In order to avoid class chaos caused by sudden differentiation after birth, everyone will undergo a genetic test every year to analyze the most likely direction of differentiation and divide children with the same attributes into arrangements in the same classroom building.

So far, the accuracy of this genetic test has reached 99%.

After differentiation, there are five years of high school education between the ages of 16 and 20. 9bU51S

From this point on, Omegas will study at an exclusive school, while Betas and Alphas will all study at a comprehensive high school.

The same applies to sorting out those who would study at universities.

The cat-eyed boy, Ruan Baobao, hid behind his arm, turned his head, and quietly traced Ling Yue’s profile—from the slightly raised eyebrows to the cold phoenix eyes, all the way down to the raised Adam’s apple…

Ling Yue is so good-looking ah, so fierce, and so cold. t8auOq

But he doesn’t look like an Omega at all.

Ruan Baobao thought, It would be great if Ling Yue was really an Alpha. It would be best if he became an Alpha that matches him 100%~

While watching him for a moment, Ruan Baobao fell asleep without knowing when. When he was woken up by Ling Yue, it was already time for their classes to be over.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

“Ling Yue, are you really not coming? Then you will be the only one in the class tomorrow afternoon!” Ruan Baobao asked again without giving up. 81C2qU

Omega’s academic pressure isn’t that heavy. Not only does school end at four o’clock in the afternoon, but he can also have a rest on the day of his birthday. If you apply to the school to hold a birthday party, all the invited students will also have half a day off. You only need to submit the invitation list to the teacher one day in advance.

Only Ling Yue has the paper version, personally designed by Ruan Baobao himself and with the name “Ling Yue” written over the page.

En, I will go to other classes tomorrow afternoon.” Ling Yue stood up and packed his schoolbag, then paused for a moment, “Baobao.”

“No.” Ling Yue shook his head, took out a small pink gift box from his school bag, and placed it on Ruan Baobao’s desk. “Happy birthday.” 0LJRIr

After that, he carried his school bag and left without looking back.

Ruan Baobao was stunned for a moment, then his cat eyes curled. He happily picked up the small gift box and opened it gently while humming a song. Inside was a small hairpin with a small red heart on it.

This is the first time Ling Yue gave him a birthday gift, and it’s a love hairpin~

What’s wrong with not coming to the birthday party? Ling Yue has never attended any of his classmates’ birthday parties anyway. EvPG5s

Still! He now has the confidence to say that he was the only one in the class who received a birthday gift from Ling Yue!

**

Capital Star, 8 a.m.

Ruan Baobao opened his eyes, stretched, turned on his optical brain as a habit, and sent Ling Yue a “Good morning ^O^” message. mI Rjr

Then he lazily turned over a few times, rolled to the edge of the bed, stood up, jumped off the eight-meter-wide bed, and trotted to open the door with his bare feet.

The humanoid nanny Ruan Wu outside the door is wearing a pink apron and grinning with a standard toothy smile.

“Good morning, Baobao.”

Every word has a very obvious mechanical feel. EOyw4U

“Good morning, Ruan Wu~” His voice was crisp, sweet, and well-behaved.

He stood there, letting Ruan Wu scan him from top to bottom.

Astronomic calendar: 08:05:22, November 11, 1999, Name: Ruan Baobao, normal body temperature, normal heart rate, normal blood pressure, no injuries, already recorded and uploaded.”

“Today is my Baobao‘s eighteenth birthday. Ruan Wu wishes you a happy birthday. Remember to wear shoes yo~” aUAwRn

Different from the serious mechanical broadcast before, the last word “yo” was deliberately prolonged.

Ruan Baobao said “en, en” casually, turned around, and went back to the room to wash up.

Meanwhile, Ruan Wu was making the bed outside and preparing a set of comfortable home clothes for him.

After he finished washing, Ling Yue’s reply popped up on his computer. PI8LX9

-Ling Yue: Good morning, happy birthday.

-Ruan Baobao: Thank you, Ling Yue~ The hairpin is very nice~

This time, Ling Yue responded quickly.

-Ling Yue: En. 6PM3kH

Ruan Baobao straightened his hair in front of the mirror, put on the little love hairpin, looked left and right, and indeed—

He’s more beautiful and cuter with it!

Turning on the photo-taking function of his optical brain, he grinned, showing eight teeth, similar to Ruan Wu’s standard smile, and sent it to Ling Yue.

-Ruan Baobao: Isn’t it super nice?! 【photo】 BNGMSi

-Ling Yue: En.

Ruan Baobao felt perfectly content with it, so he went downstairs to have a meal.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

His birthday party is scheduled from 4 to 8 pm, and his morning time belongs to the family.

Except for his eldest brother, who was on duty in the Seventh Sector and couldn’t get home, the rest of his family had already been waiting for him downstairs. XSa2gY

Every year, they would request a leave of absence half a year in advance.

Because the eldest brother couldn’t make it back in time, he immediately sent a video call as soon as he received the news that Baobao had finished eating.

“Happy birthday, Baobao. I asked Ye Yang to give you the gift. See if you like it. If you don’t like it, wait for me to come back and I’ll give you another one.”

Ye Yang is Ruan Baobao’s third sister. She takes after their father’s surname, Ye Chaoyue, and is the Alpha Captain of the Third Federation Army. She is only 27 years old. She has been training in the Sixth Sector this year. Before returning, she made a special trip to the Seventh Sector to get the gift from their eldest brother. ZbKmj2

Ruan Baobao couldn’t wait to open the gift box. Inside was a black energy stone unique to the Seventh Star District. Based on the weight of this piece, it must’ve been very expensive. It was heavy in his hand. There were two lines of words engraved on it crookedly—

Happy birthday to Baobao

I love you — Ye Gui-dage

Ruan Baobao: Ah, this… 1EP7sX

In the video call, his eldest brother asked, “Do you like it?”

“I like it.” Ruan Baobao nodded, looking down. He did not dare to look directly at his elder brother, simply making circles under the table with his toes.

Seeing as these two lines of text must have taken a lot of time for his eldest brother to make, he probably liked it.

Ye Gui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Baobao say he liked it. aYh7vl

That’s great; Baobao liked it.

One of his married lieutenants actually said that it was impossible for any Omega to like this dark thing.

Fortunately, he didn’t listen to him! How could anyone not like the black energy stone? It is the heart of the S-class mecha. It is simply fascinating.

That day, Ye Yang cast her covetous eyes on it. zIsh4v

In fact, except for Ruan Baobao and his father, Ye Chaoyue, who is also an Omega, everyone else is also looking at the stone covetously.

Ruan Baobao is the youngest in the family, with two brothers and one sister. Like their mother, they are both Alphas, and they both attended the Federation Military Academy. As soon as they graduated, they joined the Third Legion—the strongest and most rigorously trained legion in the Federation and the legion that defeated the most Zergs.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Their mother, Ruan Meng, was also promoted as the marshal of the Third Army last year.

After the black energy stone had been passed through the hands of several Alphas in the family and reluctantly put back into the box, Ruan Baobao continued to open other people’s gifts. LbdVKz

His father gave him a bracelet that he designed himself, and his mother, Ruan Meng, gave him a pair of jet shoes that can soar into the sky.

Ruan Meng looked excited and immediately took credit: “Baobao, these shoes are so fast that you would think you are teleporting!”

“Thanks, Mom.”

En en, he would collect and store it up. It has a light pink color all over and a lot of tiny, blingbling diamonds on it. It’s really pretty. 5w36dl

His second brother silently handed over the mecha model he had assembled, and his third sister presented a small energy gun with a shell coated with particularly saturated Barbie powder.

It’s so saturated that if you look at this gun a few times and then look at other places, you will still see pink.

Third Sister: “Baobao, Third Sister painted this gun herself. Look, it’s your favorite pink color; does it look good?”

Such a pink color is definitely not available outside; she modified it carefully! bD9VwC

Ruan Baobao: “… Third sister, thank you for your hard work; I will take care of it properly.”

He will never let his classmates see it. This is probably the love of straight A's. Ruan Baobao sighed.

The birthday party went smoothly. When the time came for him to make a wish on the cake, Ruan Baobao clasped his hands together with unparalleled devout and made the wish he has made every year since meeting Ling Yue—

First, God, ah, please bless Ling Yue to be able to differentiate into an Alpha for the second time. It would be best to have a 100% match with him. 5DC7Po

If it can be fulfilled, I also want to become stronger and plumper.

Ling Yue’s birthday was three days later than his. In interstellar history, there was indeed a person who suddenly differentiated twice on his 18th birthday, from Omega to Alpha. Not only that, this person later became famous with the title of The God of War, defeating zergs and bringing nearly 300 years of peace to the Federation!

He felt that if such a person appeared again, it would definitely be Ling Yue!

With this beautiful thought in mind, Ruan Baobao put the biography of the God of War under his pillow and fell asleep. 8DvoqV

In his dream, Ling Yue—who had become an Alpha—hugged him tightly and said he wanted to marry him!

So happy~

Chrysanthemum Garden.

But, isn’t this hug too tight? He feels so hot, ah

Translator's Note

The term “mutual attack” is often used in danmei novels and colloquial terms in fujoshi circles. As the name suggests, it is “to capture each other”. Usually in mxm novels, the gong is the active party and the shou is the passive party. When the passive party turns into the active party, it is called a counterattack. And if there is basically no distinction between who is the top or bottom, and both of them are more casual about this, it is often called “mutual attack”. Relatively speaking, both parties are generally relatively strong in mutual attack stories. (source: Baidu)

  1. Question: I see on Goodreads this book has the Reversible Couple and Seme Protagonist tag. Can someone tell me which one. Honestly it doesn’t matter to me which one it is, but still I just like to know these things before hand.
