Chapter 68: Extra: Shuci (Part 1)

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Mimosa

When he came out of the hibernation chamber, Xie Shuci thought that a hundred years had passed. The feeling of emptiness that was almost drained from his body made him lose his five senses for a while, and he lost his breath for a full minute before he spat out a stomach full of hibernation fluid. The weakness of feeling slightly faint and exhaustion invaded his brain. This made him not slow down for a long time.

“The existing hibernation technology is not very mature, waking up will indeed require a large consumption of your body’s energy, you at least need to recuperate for one to three months to return to normal levels.”

When he came out of hibernation for half a month, he went to that graduation ceremony.

Ming Huan was on stage and was as radiant as ever.

It was just like that day they first met.

–‘What’s your name.’

–‘Ming Huan, write it like this.’

The handwritten letter was clenched tightly in his hand.

It was from Ming Huan, inviting him to this graduation speech.

He was in a wheelchair, and his hearing was still not very sharp.

he could hear every word Ming Huan said.

As the person on stage spoke, he could clearly recall every detail that he had mentioned. They were in the classroom drawing, revising, piecing together, and organizing.

It was a long and expectant time.

–‘I do.’

–‘What.’

–‘I do, will fly an omega-designed warplane.’

The eyes were misty.

Ming Huan always seemed to have a bad temper, and got impatient easily with everything. When drawing, often because of a small deviation in the data, he would constantly modify but tear up the drawings out of anger in the end.

Or he would put the drawing back together little by little, and then redraw a new one.

Ming Huan was so thick-headed that he didn’t know that several people had liked him until after he graduated, including Shu Yun, whom he once cared for.

he could also see that.

Ming Huan didn’t like anyone, including himself.

Plop.

Something fell on the back of his hand.

Ming Huan was on stage smiling while trying to tell everyone about a certain kind of persistence and his aspiration, with their shared experiences growing up.

However…, Xie Shuci was crying.

For a long time after that, Ming Huan thought it was moving on.

Only Xie Shuci knew that it was a parting.

He had thought Ming Huan’s personality was rough, and that he never noticed these details nor saw their live. He thought Ming Huan was not open-minded and rather childish. As long as he can afford to wait, he will one day see the difference in himself.

it turned out that he could see it all.

From the beginning to the end, he could see everything clearly.

there was no love.

Plop, plop.

Tears constantly overflowed, blurring the figure of the person in front of him.

The dragon’s life is one of looking for a dragon companion.

When Yu Hanzhou went to collect the diploma for Ming Huan, he sat quietly behind the curtain, but did not have the courage to go forward and say “thank you”.

He saw the teenager wearing the ring, emitting the powerful aura of another dragon. At that moment, Xie Shuci did not understand why he could not propose so many times.

Yu Hanzhou, could.

It was Ming Huan who noticed his presence first as he lifted the curtain of the tent, and a dim light shone behind the curtain, illuminating his slightly embarrassed posture in his wheelchair.

“Why are you here?”

Ming Huan was still the same, grinning broadly and reaching out to wipe his tears, “Why are you still crying, don’t cry.”

Propped up on his knees, he looked at him levelly: “Are you feeling bad? I’ll push you to go for a walk outside, it will be more comfortable to get some sunshine.”

“Hmm.”

His throat was too dry to speak.

The warm sun shone on him, and Ming Huan pushed him outside on the high platform of the porch bridge and on the small tree-lined park.

But this one small probability divergence.

It really did too much damage to Shu Rui.

“I’m sorry about your father, too.”

Shuci took a moment to see through Ming Huan’s attitude of wanting to say something, but he lowered his eyes, “It’s okay, I will wait for him to come out.”

“We are the ones who are sorry for you…. We have caused you some trouble.” Xie Shuci asked, “The injuries you have, are you better?”

He remembered that he had scratched him when he lost control.

“You should have left me behind, forcibly suppressing my mental energy that caused backlash for you, right?” Xie Shuci kept his head down, “I don’t know, at that time why I….”

“It’s because of a genetic defect.” Ming Huan slapped him on the shoulder, “What, do you still care about that thing? It’s okay, of course I know it wasn’t your intention. Shuci, you know the genetic defect of alphas.”

“Actually, you didn’t like me. But you and I matched, in your subconscious, I will classify you into my possessions, and the desire to invade will be very strong. So this will cause excessive sexual behavior…. It’s not your fault, you’re a victim too.” Ming Huan’s tone is very flat, and his white brilliant teeth were neat and dazzling, “You do not need to dwell on this.”

“Actually, I don’t… like you?”

Xie Shuci slowly chewed on the words.

“Yeah. You don’t believe me, so now you use the nhibitor and you look at me.” Ming Huan walked around to him and squatted down. Four eyes facing each other, tilted his head to look at his slightly reddened eyes, head slightly tilted, “Try it and see what it feels like.”

Xie Shuci mouth slightly pursed up.

His eyelashes moved in silence and misplaced his gaze.

“Yeah right.”

Ming Huan giggled, bright as ever, “Said it’s a genetic lock, la, genetic lock!”

“You don’t even know, this genetic defect thing really affects people a lot. I loved ice cream and cake when I was differentiated, I couldn’t live without them. Anyone can have this symptom. By the way, you know what I just learned the other day, Senior Yun, when he was differentiated, you know, Dean Shu bought a cotton candy making machine directly, he had to eat orange flavored cotton candy every day or else….”

“Hmm.”

Xie Shuci’s eyes were dark, and his excessively thin face under the cheeks looked a little sunken, “It seems, it’s so.”

“It’s not as if, it is!”

Ming Huan completely relaxed.

A warm glow appeared in the honeypot-like pupils.

“Hahahaha, you didn’t really think you’d like me, did you? It’s just a small probability of splitting the pot. You and I were not normal at that time, which made us both have a small probability divergence. By the way, Shuci is also a small probability, haha, he has agreed to marry the lieutenant, guess how old the lieutenant is….”

Ming Huan’s words were as many as ever.

Xie Shuci, was mostly silent as before.

Ming Huan saw that he was in a bad mood and tried to lighten the mood with some interesting words.

“He’s only two and a half years old! He differentiated so early, when he was one year old….”

“Shu Yun, too, is getting married to his match.”

Xie Shuci still remembered that Shu Yun at first appeared to not get along with that one at all, without thinking that it was him in the end.

It was just like when they were cubs.

Ming Huan took Xie Shuci’s hand, as if he wanted to pass on some kind of courage to him, “Shuci, I don’t know why the two of us were matched in the first place, if only this mistake wasn’t there at the beginning, then your small probability of differentiation wouldn’t be so difficult. The good thing is that everything came through.”

“You differentiated into an alpha, so becoming a battleship designer is not just a breeze, there is no physical shortage. The process is a little tougher, but in terms of results, it’s just great.”

Xie Shuci did not turn around, but his voice was very soft as he showed a slightly bitter look.

“Ming Huan, you like that person, don’t you?”

“Huh?”

“That’s why you got married to him, right?”

Shuci observed Ming Huan’s eyes. He tilted his head a bit tangibly as if in thought, then nodded with certainty. As if a bit shy, he lowered his voice and put an index finger against his lips, “Secret oh.”

Three years ago, in the same way that little dragon had done when caught sneaking strawberry candy, he lowered his voice and put his index finger against his lips.

‘–Shhh, secret, oh.’

At that time, little Xie Shuci asked, “Is it weird to like candy, why not let others know?”

Little Ming Huan was a little coy, but he replied stiffly, “I’m an alpha, how can an alpha have a sweet tooth?!” After saying that, he roughly bit the candy in his mouth and swallowed it directly, causing little Shuci to raise the corners of his mouth along with him.

Then all the candy in his arms were also pulled out and stuffed into the hands of the little alpha in front of him.

He slowly came close to the little alpha’s ear and promised.

‘–Okay, I’ll keep it a secret.’

“Okay, I’ll keep it a secret.”

The memory of the voice seemed to overlap the sound.

Xie Shuci’s mouth had a slightly warm smile again, and he asked, “But, you are already married to him, is it something strange to like him, why can’t you be frank and tell him?”

“Ooh, you don’t understand.”

Speaking of this, Ming Huan seemed to be at a loss for words and lowered her voice even further, “When I married him at first, I thought that I would never like him.”

“A match is a match, but can marriage come from it, will we like each other because of it then? I think it’s a stretch.”

“Gee, anyway, it’s, um….”

The little smile that was left at the corner of Xie Shuci’s mouth slowly dissipated.

He saw the tips of Ming Huan’s ears burn red, and his cheeks were pink and cute.

For three years, he thought that he was the closest person to Ming Huan then as he had seen so many looks of Ming Huan.

The only thing that he hadn’t seen was the blushing look after he was moved.

It turns out, ‘…. It was really cute.’

“Is it?”

He slowly lowered his eyes, no longer gazing at the other party’s scarlet cheeks, “I thought that, at least, at that time you felt that he was special to you before you married him.”

Ming Huan froze slightly.

It seemed that Shuci had woken up something.

Xie Shuci said faintly, “Because of you. Actually, I was the least reluctant.”

Xie Shuci reached out his hand, wanting to touch the top of the head of this small omega crouching in front of him. Suddenly, he slowly withdrew his hand again.

He was matched with Ming Huan, but for Ming Huan, the real match was Yu Hanzhou.

The light under Xie Shuci’s eyes dimmed a little.

The Ming Huan in front of him seemed to be in some kind of deeper tangle because of his nod.

Although it seemed that this feeling was not strong when they married, somehow, he didn’t know from which moment that he seemed to feel that Yu Hanzhou was special to him.

Xie Shuci pointed his chin out and his collarbone had a deep concave. The breeze blew over his fine forehead hair, covering his eyes, “Genetic defects, ah.”

“I seem to be, indeed, not really into you. It’s just that I matched with you.”

Xie Shuci slowly closed his eyes and turned his head away.

Suddenly, he laughed in a low voice.

“My liking for you is just an illusion brought on by a genetic defect.”

At his wrist, he removed the snatched white bracelet and pushed it back Ming Huan’s hand.

“Congrats, Xiao Huan.”

He was rolling away in his wheelchair, and the sunlight shining on him made him look excessively thin.

Time passed, and it was fifty years later.

There were so many things that happened in the past fifty years. Ming Huan joined the military, and Xie Shuci also successfully graduated. Xie Shuci was also successfully employed in the technical department of the Ministry of Military Affairs with that one mech, and at the same time took up the job of an instructor of the mech department of the First Military Academy of the Federation.

After the graduation ceremony, he thought that Xie Shuci would slowly let go and they would still be friends. In the past fifty years, Xie Shuci never looked for him again.

MH, still as dense as ever!
Poor, poor XS. I really feel for him. I believe after spending so long as youngsters together, with MH destined to be an Alpha then, treating XS, an Omega, so equally, he fell in love with him for real. No pheromones or anything else. Just love 🥹
I hope he finds someone who can return that love, in the ending chapters 🤞🤞
Thank you both for the chapter.

Ohh sad for Xie Shuci😔😔,, he is really in love with MH,, but he isn’t the destined one for MH.. Ming Huan can’t feel it that what XS felt for him is Love . Not an illusion nor cause of genetic defect.
