Chapter 35: Shuci

Ming Huan had a dream. He dreamed that in his previous life, he differentiated into an omega. He was lying on the hospital bed, panicking and pulling the covers. His red eyes were asking, “am I an omega”, “am I really an omega”? He asked, and people around him began to sigh with regret.
–Alas, why not alpha?
Then he started to cry. While crying, he heard someone call out to him.
It was Yu Hanzhou’s voice. He told him, ” An omega is also good, I am very happy.”
Then, Ming Huan woke up. As soon as he woke up, he smelled the fragrant smell of fish soup that tickled his stomach. He ran downstairs quickly.
In fact, Yu Hanzhou didn’t expect Ming Huan would wake up so early today, and the fish soup was just being cooked. Ming Huan was so hungry that he started to find his own nutrients, biting into it and stuffing it directly into his mouth.
His eyes were red, as if he hadn’t slept very well.
Even his beloved slippers were not even put on.
Yu Hanzhou took Ming Huan, who had half of the nutrient in his mouth, and pulled the nutrient out of his mouth and shoved freshly squeezed juice into his hand while saying, “Drink the juice first.”
Ming Huan took a big sip.
He put the empty cup down on the table.
“Yu Hanzhou, I’m hungry.”
As the little dragon huffed and puffed through his sixth plate of sizzling meatballs, Yu Hanzhou sat across from him and had just finished dealing with the matter of the Mineral Planet – something complicated.
Once the matter involves the Mineral Planet, it can’t avoid Capital Star’s Xie family.
Xie Jue was a shrewd businessman. His mental energy is only S-level, and his breed was only an ordinary high-level blue dragon. However, his son was predicted to be SS-level mental energy, and was an omega. The institute directly under the military department had been saying that they must protect the omega to grow smoothly for his differentiation.
Xie Shuci, the SS-level quasi-omega had been the object of heavy care of the Ministry of the Military – SS-level mental, to be able to differentiate into the omega as a high-level, it was rare to meet one as one only occurred every few hundred years.
It was just for this.
For two or three years, Xie Jue has fished for benefits from the Ministry of the Military, and this time wanted to intervene in the matter of the leapfrogging resource planet.
In his heart, Yu Hanzhou considered how things should be handled.
After a moment’s work, Ming Huan had eaten the leftover meatballs clean.
After wiping his oily mouth clean, he went to water the plants with a small spout. After watering, he sat on the small sofa diagonally opposite Yu Hanzhou and began to cast a light screen, while holding ice cream and looking at page by page.
Yu Hanzhou only swept a glance, and the bottom of his eyes floated a smile.
He then directly used the terminal to enter a partial briefing meeting that was not very long and only thirty minutes.
When he returned, Ming Huan was still sitting on the sofa reading a book. He had finished eating the ice cream, and only the empty box remained on the side of the sofa. The air was sweet and creamy, mixed with the faint fragrance of Ming Huan’s bathing agent.
The little dragon curled up his legs and watched very carefully.
Yu Hanzhou poured a glass of water, and when he passed behind him, he saw a terminal chat message cast directly on the light screen, occupying 75% of the page.
[Xie Shuci: Ming Huan, what did you want to see me about?]
[Ming Huan: !!! Shuci! I’m paid!!!]
This was followed by a large series of exclamation points.
[Ming Huan: Dinner used to be on you, but now it’s on me! I’ll take you for ice cream!]
Yu Hanzhou found a little dragon was eager to buy dinner and smiled. The little dragon heard a sound from behind him and put the light screen away, “Why are you peeking?!”
” You want to invite Xie Shuci to our home?”
“No, I’m going to eat.”
Yu Hanzhou deliberated for a moment and said, “Ask him to come to the house, you are in the differentiation period, it is not convenient to go.”
Ming Huan pointed to the isolation patch on his neck, “I’m in good health, no pheromone overload, no fever, and my mental energy has been stable, why can’t I go?
“I haven’t been there for a long time.”
Yu Hanzhou gave him a sidelong glance, “Then an hour only. I’ll send you there.”
“Eh, you….”
“Don’t worry, I’ll just drop you off at the end of the street and make a trip to the military headquarters.” Yu Hanzhou saw through his concerns at a glance, “I have no intention of intervening in the afternoon tea party between two omegas, however, I will leave two officers to guard the street corner, if you come out early, or if something happens, remember to expose the coordinates immediately and they will help you.”
Yu Hanzhou checked the rain and snow shield on his wrist, “Don’t take this off either, it’s storming this afternoon. This time, don’t give it away. You yourself are now an omega, so you don’t need to take care of any omega anymore. This includes Xie Shuci.”
When Ming Huan was an alpha, he was taught that no matter what the situation is, he must take care of the omega first.
This was becasue omegas were fragile and delicate.
Yu Hanzhou used to emphasize this with him, meaning to regulate his behavior and not allow him to bully the weak.
Ming Huan looked at the rattling rain and snow shield on his wrist and pursed his lips, “I know.”
Ming Huan’s physical condition was indeed stable.
After all, in his care, all aspects are in good condition.
Ming Huan was a character who did not like to be constrained. If he continues being bored, he would feel suffocated and angry in his heart.
Yu Hanzhou made the arrangements and drove him to the street corner of the downtown area in his flying machine.
Before putting Ming Huan down from the flying machine, he gave him another isolation shot, and then put on his glasses to modify his face.
“I have three of your isolation patches right in the compartment of your small backpack. If you don’t feel well, send me a message. Remember, the most important one. Don’t tell anyone – you’re omega.”
âJeez.â
He was only going for an hour. Yu Hanzhou seemed to dictate endless words.
“Got it, I’ll go then!” Ming Huan waved at him.
In the window seat of the ice cream store, Xie Shuci had been waiting for a long time. He didn’t wear glasses, but still had the same eye-catching look.
He didnât know if it was because he entered the differentiation period, but Xie Shuci really did grow a lot taller, and his whole person looked different from before. Before he was gentle, now ⊠he seemed a bit indifferent.
Ming Huan was wearing glasses, but Xie Shuci still recognized him from afar. When he saw him, a smile appeared on his face, and at that moment, it seemed that the indifference dispersed.
“You’re here.”
Ming Huan took a breath after three or four ice creams, with a small spoon pointed to introduce the ice cream to Xie Shuci, “This, this is popping pearl beads on top, especially refreshing, but this core is more delicious, this this this….”
Ming Huan was also an omega. He must also like to eat these, and in the future after differentiation, maybe he would come to have afternoon tea with Xie Shuci often.
It had been a long time since he saw Xie Shuci.
He didn’t like to talk before, but why did he feel more silent now?
“What’s wrong? You don’t like to eat?” Ming Huan looked at him with a small spoon, but did not want to dig his spoon in. He had a discouraged look, “This ice cream store is very popular with omegas…. I thought you liked it.”
Xie Shuci lifted his eyes violently, reached down, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to his mouth.
The throat slid and swallowed.
Ming Huan looked at Xie Shuci’s svelte appearance and sincerely lamented that the quality young omega that grew up receiving the best omega upbringing was different.
Eating such delicious things in an introspective manner.
“How is it?”
” Hmm, very tasty.”
Ming Huan smiled with starry eyes. He just reached out to scoop a spoonful into his mouth, but suddenly thought that young alphas would not like to eat this kind of stuff. Yu Hanzhou had said that this stuff was sweet and cloying, and that it smelled bad.
Ming Huan swallowed his saliva as it was not good to show that he loves to eat. He could only bear the regret of passing the spoon to Xie Shuci, “You, you try this again.”
Xie Shuci’s eyes lit up because of this feeding action, and his body leaned forward to eat the bite. He smiled and said, “Delicious.”
âIt’s good, right?â
;I want to eat it too.â
Ming Huan swallowed his saliva before he only smiled and drank a mouthful of plain water.
“I also only recently learned that an omega turns out to be completely different from alpha, omegas can learn nothing and can live very easily, eating endless delicious food. In such a situation, you can actually dream of becoming a mecha designer, it’s really too impressive. If it were me, I would have laid flat a long time agoâŠ.”
“Is that so?”
Xie Shuci’s pretty eyelashes feathered down, “I did recently, find that an alpha is different from what I imagined.”
“Oh?”
Xie Shuci cupped the small metal spoon in his hand, “So, alphas were asked from a young age to be very nice to every omega.”
He wanted to stop talking, but in Ming Huan’s puzzled eyes, he finally raised his head and asked, “Ming Huan, I want to ask you a question.”
“Um, you ask.”
His throat was dry and thirsty, “Were you nice to me before because the alpha was required to be nice to the omega, or was it becauseâŠ. You wanted to be nice to me.”
âThe two–â
âWere they different?â
Ming Huan was immediately stumped.
âYou’re an omega, I’m an alpha. An alpha has to be nice to an omega, so doesn’t that mean I have to be nice to you?â
He blinked his eyes several times, not knowing how to answer.
His somewhat clueless appearance seems to have caused Xie Shuci some anxiety. He squeezed the small silver spoon till his finger bones were distinct. Hiis eyes gradually turned cold, “Ming Huan, do you still want to–“
“To be engaged to me?”
âWhy this question?â
Xie Shuci seemed to keep mentioning this matter whenever he was with him recently.
Ming Huan remembered that he seemed to have answered this question many times.
If he kept refusing like this, the relationship between the two of themâŠ.
Will it become very strange in the future?
Ming Huan was a little worried, but he couldn’t lie to Xie Shuci, so he said decisively.
“I can’t get engaged to you.”
âIn the past, it was because I decided to go to the agricultural planet that I couldn’t get engaged to you. Now I don’t plan to go to the agricultural planet for the time being, but I differentiated into an omegaâŠ. Still can’t get engaged to you.â
“Ming Huan, IâŠ.”
Xie Shuci seems to have suddenly emptied his strength. He sat on the seat, and the sunlight warmly sprinkled on the back of his hand, but his fingers were cold, “I like you.”
This was the third time Xie Shuci said to him that he liked him.
Ming Huan sensed that he was sad.
He said that he wanted to treat Xie Shuci to a big meal because his wallet was rich, but the atmosphere was instantly wrong.
It was like a heavy breakup scene.
“I’m sorry, IâŠ.”
“Why? Can you tell me the reason?” Xie Shuci is a lot calmer than he thought without red eyes, not even aggravation in the tone, but the voice was extraordinarily low.
“Because IâŠ.”
He almost wanted to tell him directly “I am omega, ah, I can not marry you, ah”, but the words will soon stay in the mouth as they were choked in his throat.
Yu Hanzhou had told him not to tell anyone that he was an omega.

The rain outside the window began to fall.
It hit the clear glass window, blurring the street scene outside.
Yu Hanzhou gave him an hour, but now, after less than thirty minutes, he already felt as if the atmosphere between the two was already a bit off.
“You can’t even give me a reason.”
“When I was pre-matched, at that time, you didn’t say no like you do now….”
Xie Shuci’s face was pale.
Ming Huan could only keep his head down as he stirred his fingers, “Shuci, IâŠ. I don’t feel that way about you….”
“I told you, get engaged first. Maybe if we get along, you and I will-“
“Shuci, do not get angry, omegas in differentiation period can not get emotional….” Ming Huan’s words have not fallen, and Xie Shuci’s face looked worse.
“Ming Huan.” He didn’t know why he looked eager to hold back, and even couldn’t help but stand up at the table before he looked down on Ming Huan, “I matched with you, I clearly matched with you….”
“What are you talking about….”
Xie Shuci stopped talking.
It was raining heavily outside.
A hand suddenly reached out and clasped Ming Huan’s wrist so tightly that the ice cream cup on the table was knocked over, startling him.
Xie Shuci’s strength was so strong!
He struggled twice, and his wrist was scratched with a light red mark, “Ming Huan, this is not the place to talk, you come back to my house with me, I have something to say to you.”
“IâŠ. I can’t go back with you. I have to go home later.”
Xie Shuci seemed determined to take him away, “That’s Admiral Yu’s home, not yours. Once you differentiate, you have nothing to do with him anymore. He has no obligation to continue to take care of you. But I can, Ming Huan, IâŠ.”
Ming Huan struggled, and with a boom, the sound of thunder outside drowned out Xie Shuci’s words.
Bing bang bang.
The ice cream cup completely overturned.
Ming Huan was unfamiliar with this Xie Shuci, and he took advantage of his dazed effort to swiftly pull his hand back and escape.
Xie Shuci listened to the sound of thunder like an explosion outside and looked at the panicked figure leaving. Suddenly the bottom of the eyes burst out cold and desolate light.
After sitting quietly for a long, long time, the palm that has no residual temperature clasps the bracelet silently on his wrist.
The other side.
Ming Huan walked on the street in the rain. He thought back to just Xie Shuci’s eyes, and somehow felt some inexplicable fear.
/Is it because of the differentiation period?â
âXie Shuci, why, his character seemed to have become violent.â
Ming Huan rubbed his wrist and looked at the time, it was still 20 minutes before Yu Hanzhou would come to pick him up.
He wanted to go buy an umbrella, but he didn’t know which store sold it.
He was afraid that he might get lost in the mall with all the tall buildings and bridges, and Yu Hanzhou would not be able to find him if he came over later.
He waited and waited, but luckily he didn’t have to wait long. He waited for him under the corridor bridge and jumped on the flying machine in two or three steps. Before he could sit down, he heard a question, “Where is your bracelet?”
Yu Hanzhou looked at the rain falling on his wet hair and frowned tightly, “Ming Huan, what’s wrong with you?”
Ming Huan grudgingly smiled and wiped the water from his face a little. He did heartily speak.
“Didn’t I sayâŠ.”
“He didn’t bring an umbrella.” Ming Huan prevaricated.
“You are also omega,” Yu Hanzhou does not eat into this, âFirst change your clothes.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ming Huan sneezed and shook the water all over his body, throwing some of it onto Yu Hanzhou.
Yu Hanzhou took a blanket and put it on Ming Huan. He turned the temperature to a higher level to dry his hair.
They soon arrived at the residence, and it was too late to let Ming Huan put on shoes.
Yu Hanzhou shoved the black umbrella into Ming Huan’s hand, then carried little dragon down the flying machine. The pouring rain stained the corner of Yu Hanzhou’s coat, and the little dragon in his arms was blown by the cold wind. He nestled in his arms and sneezed.
“Don’t go later.”
After seeing him so unhappy, Ming Huan grabbed his collar and very lightly said, “This is an accident.”
Yu Hanzhouâs footsteps stopped slightly and he looked down at the little dragon holding the umbrella handle tightly.
“You did not tell him that you are omega, right?”
“…. No.”
Yu Hanzhou hit the door and first put a tank full of hot water into the bathroom.
In the foggy atmosphere, Ming Huan was in the hot bath and Yu Hanzhou brought dry clothes in the bathroom.
“The alpha is supposed to take care of the omega, but-“
“Don’t you think you’re too good for Xie Shuci, don’t you?”
The tub was full of bubbles, and Ming Huan buried half his face in the tub that was gurgling and blowing.
The heat smoked his skin pink, the bathroom door closed again as Yu Hanzhou brought in his little slippers and put them on the carpet outside.
He was very good to Xie Shuci.
It was probably because Xie Shuci is very similar to himself in his previous life. He was treated unfairly in his previous life when he failed to take the Ming family’s inheritance because he became an omega, and he hoped that Xie Shuci would not be the same as him…
However, it didnât seem like it was so good to say.
“That’s good.” Ming Huan curled his tail to hold up a small bubble, poked it with his hand, and said, “You’re nice to me too….”
“It’s not the same.”
Ming Huan dried and then put on his pants before he sat in the drying room. A moment of wind seemed to cover those four words.
Ming Huan saw a small handmade doll on a table outside the bathroom and poked the belly of the doll, which was so soft that his fingers sank into it as if he were buried in a piece of flour.
The feeling of pleasure spread from the fingertips to the heart.
It was so healing.
Ming Huan slightly cocked his tail, which means his mood was good.
“Ming Huan, come here.”
Yu Hanzhou’s voice came from the bedroom.
Ming Huan entered with the doll in his arms. His straight and slender legs on wide plush slippers made him look even thinner. Yu Hanzou pulled the man over, rubbed some ointment on his elbows and knees just like yesterday, and said, “There is something I have to tell you.”
“Ming Huan, I told you before, you are an alpha, you must be good to omega, take care of them, be considerate. I also told you that Xie Shuci is an omega of SS-level mental energy and is the one we must protect heavily in the military. So I know that you have always been good to him, even-“
“Even so, do you like him?”
“I don’t.” Ming Huan immediately denied.
Yu Hanzhou’s eyes deepened for a few moments and did not hold on to this question.
He knew very well where the weight of this conversation with the little dragon is currently.
“I don’t care if you don’t like him. I’m going to say now, you have to remember it all. You are now also an omega, stop taking care of an omega as your first priority, the first thing you have to take care of is yourself. No matter what happens, don’t leave the only bracelet of shelter from the rain to others and get wet yourself.”
“Sorry, I know that one is expensiveâŠ.”
“It’s not expensive.” Yu Hanzhou wondered how Ming Huan became so sensitive to money. Obviously he had never let him buy anything before either. He sighed, “I know some habits are hard to change, but they have to be changed.”
Ming Huan looked at Yu Hanzhou’s serious expression and scratched his head awkwardly, “It’s just that I got wet, it’s okay….”
“The rain is still a small thing.”
“What if it’s still like the last time when we were on a mission and only had time to drop an isolation pod.”
Yu Hanzhou hit the nail on the head.
“Again, would you still give up your only chance to escape to the young omega next to you?”
“That’s not the only chance to escape….”
He was still stubborn.
Yu Hanzhou found that even though Ming Huan had differentiated into an omega, his temperament was still very much the same as when he was an alpha.
The stubbornness is like a tenacious stone.
“You know, if that time, you did not have time to enter the isolation chamber. Only Xie Shuci could leap back alone. And you were left in the eighteenth district, caught by the people of the Empireâs side, what would be the consequences?”


It seems unfair that MH can’t at least tell XS the truth. It puts him in an impossible position with XS.
XS seemed different this time though and the story refers to his height as getting taller… he isn’t becoming an Alpha, is he?!! Perhaps he knows MH is an Omega, or has decided to have him regardless of him being an Alpha too.
It’s his wish to take care of MH and that he said he had something to tell MH… plus his look before MH escaped.
Something’s off.
Thank you both for the chapter.
Thank you for the chapter! Ah Xie Shuci, I was rooting for you from the start, so please be respectful and don’t cross boundaries đ
Maybe XS is an Alpha. And i have a feeling that he wants to kidnap MH
Little Mingming need life lessons to understand further.. I mean real life lessons, literally.. if not, he would cling to his ideas naively.. just like, he’s happily help his kidnapper count the money đ
I knew it, sometimes i don’t feel good towards Xiao Xie đ sad to see their relationship turning worse.
