CH 17

Under the shocked gazes of his surrounding classmates, Ling Mu got up and trotted towards Qiu Zhenyang with gritted teeth.

“What are you doing?”

Qiu Zhenyang’s smile did not fade at all from the fierce glare. He handed over the water and said, “I bought a lot of water, and the store sent me an extra. Just for you, take it.”

He noticed earlier when Ling Mu was standing, he didn’t seem to bring water. His cheeks were red and his lips were dry to the point of peeling, but he continued to hold on. Qiu Zhenyang knew that if he gave him water directly, Ling Mu would probably not accept it, so he sent this “extra bottle” to Ling Mu under the guise of giving water to his classmates.

Sometimes, in order to deliver water to one person, a hundred people can be used to set the stage.

“I don’t want it, give it to someone else.” Ling Mu was even more stubborn than Qiu Zhenyang imagined. After refusing, he immediately turned around and left.

“Hey,” Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly grabbed Ling Mu’s thin and tough wrist, and couldn’t help saying, “Aren’t we roommates? You’re unwilling to accept even a bottle of water? I thought our relationship was pretty good, after all, your sister likes me so much…”

“Shut up!”

Hearing Qiu Zhenyang reveal the story of the two living together, Ling Mu was in a hurry and couldn’t care less. In the curious gaze of the class, he raised his hands and covered Qiu Zhenyang’s mouth.

In fact, Qiu Zhenyang deliberately lowered his voice, and no one could hear him apart from the two of them. But Ling Mu, who was too sensitive, was still stimulated.

“Do you want others to know?” Ling Mu lowered his voice and warned. He really didn’t understand Qiu Zhenyang. Since the person he likes is Cheng An’an, why does he do such a thing in front of so many people? Is he not afraid of Cheng An’an’s anger?

Qiu Zhenyang blinked. The hands covering his mouth were dry and refreshing without the slightest smell of sweat. Instead there was a sweet aroma that penetrated into his brain from the tip of his nose, causing him to stretch out the tip of his tongue and gently scratch it in a trance.

“F*ck your ass Qiu Zhenyang!”

Ling Mu’s sudden loud voice shocked everyone who was paying attention, and they turned to glare at Qiu Zhenyang.

What? How many?1”Several times” is a homonym of “chicken butt” or ass which I used, which is why they’re internally thinking “how many” Qiu Zhenyang’s… ass?

What happened???

For a while, everyone’s eyes stopped in an indescribable place on Qiu Zhenyang’s body. The nearby omegas even stared out their eyeballs.

However, it was clear that their hopes were to be dashed. It was not until it was confirmed that Qiu Zhenyang was fine, that everyone was sure that the words from Ling Mu’s mouth was just an expletive.

The fiery gazes of the crowd made Ling Mu want to find a hole to dig and hide! Heart racing like a fleeing deer, he withdrew his hand, and glared at the other party holding his hot palm.

His heart was beating so fast it was about to explode!

“Cough, that, it’s hard to restrain myself…” Qiu Zhenyang didn’t expect he would do such a thing in broad daylight, his ears reddened, and he smiled shyly.2QZY is referring to licking his palm

But his explanation made Ling Mu even more embarrassed and angry. He flushed crimson, and smashed his fist directly into Qiu Zhenyang’s chest in anger.

“Okay, don’t be angry. It’s all my fault, so let me make amends with this bottle of water, okay?” Qiu Zhenyang caught his fist and coaxed in a softer tone, inexplicably feeling his words sounded familiar. “Just take it. The break’s almost over; I have to go back first.”

After stuffing the bottle into Ling Mu’s hand, he slipped back to his class, ignoring Ling Mu’s stiff expression.

Ling Mu couldn’t bear to waste it, so in the end he could only clench his jaw and bring the sports drink back to where he was sitting.

At this time, many classmates were whispering to each other and secretly looking in his direction. A daring omega moved closer to Ling Mu and asked him, “That, classmate Ling, what is your relationship with Qiu Zhenyang?”

Ling Mu put the water down and didn’t reply.

On the side, someone finally found an opportunity, and snorted: “Tch, it’s just a bottle of water. Do you really think Master Qiu has a crush on you? Don’t know how you did it, but seducing people like that in the test is disgusting!”

Lin Nuo was still brooding over what happened on the starship. Qiu Zhenyang actually admitted to marking Ling Mu and stood up to speak for him, which was unbearable for him! And he even sent water to Ling Mu this time! Lin Nuo only felt his blood surging, and he was full of anger.

When the classmates next to them heard Lin Nuo’s words, their eyes turned bad as they looked at Ling Mu with contempt. Combined with Qiu Zhenyang’s high-profile behavior of delivering water just now, their jealousy surged, and their eyes became even darker.

On the contrary, the omega who took the initiative to talk to Ling Mu couldn’t stand it anymore, and shouted at Lin Nuo: “Why are you doing this! Classmate Qiu didn’t say anything, and you just made things up. We all have eyes, classmate Qiu was completely willing to come to deliver water, so what are you saying!”

This omega is named Guan Tang, and his family is a small businessman. He has a lively personality, and having come into contact with society many times, he’s able to form his own set of opinions, unlike those omegas easily fooled by Lin Nuo.

“Who are you, daring to challenge me?” Lin Nuo yelled angrily. Someone actually spoke for Ling Mu and accused him!

Guan Tang wasn’t one to be outdone: “You’re in the same class as me. Who are you?”

The two omegas voices were shrill and thin, like two sparrows chirping in one’s ears one after another. Ling Mu’s head was about to explode, so he grabbed Guan Tang, who stood up in excitement to scold Lin Nuo, and said, “No more.”

He rolled his eyes and sat down, turning his back on purpose, and treating Lin Nuo like he was dead.

“Who is he really, I think he’s just jealous of you! Classmate Ling Mu, you shouldn’t let him go like this. You look quite capable of fighting, so next time you should punch him directly and show him who’s boss!”

Ling Mu, who looks quite capable at fighting: “…”

This is the first time he has ever seen such a spicy omega, aside from that disgusting Lin Nuo.

While class O3 was being noisy, it was eerily silent next to Cheng An’an.

Everyone in class O1 looked at Cheng An’an secretly, with their faces interested in a good drama. They all thought Qiu Zhenyang’s water would be given to Cheng An’an, but it was given to someone who was the antithesis of beauty, and even full of anger. Could it be that Master Qiu really changed his goals?

Ji Qing, who had a better relationship with Cheng An’an, was even more confused. Seeing Cheng An’an’s poor expression, he tugged his hand and asked, “An’an, who is that? Why did Qiu Zhenyang give him water? Shouldn’t it be for you?”

The person who ridiculed Cheng An’an before suddenly interjected proudly: “Are you still dreaming? He definitely doesn’t like Cheng An’an, and changed targets. It’s so obvious!”

The people around snickered. Many of them were sore when they learned of Qiu Zhenyang’s previous pursuit of Cheng An’an, and felt better seeing such a farce.

“I wasn’t with him3as in dating, so why are you so energetic?” Cheng An’an swept around the crowd, and his overly gloomy eyes made them stop for a moment.

The atmosphere turned even weirder.

Qiu Zhenyang had no idea what happened in these two omega classes. He had already returned to the lineup, opened his bottle of water, raised his head and poured it down. The bottle of water soon bottomed out.

“Hah, it’s really cooling!” Qiu Zhenyang wiped his mouth and put the empty bottle on the ground with a very comfortable expression.4The author said it was a kinetic sports drink before, and now it’s a bottle of water. Maybe it’s unflavored electrolyte water or something like that?

“Zhenyang, who did you just give the water to?” Zhuo Hang looked at his brother with a constipated look. He wondered if he was blind. How could Qiu Zhenyang have given the water to someone who looked so fierce, and unlike an omega?

Yuan Chenyu had seen Ling Mu on the starship before, but because he was rather forgetful, he didn’t think to ask Qiu Zhenyang back then, and was also confused.

Not to mention them, even the other students in the class looked at Qiu Zhenyang and waited for his answer.

“Ling Mu, my… friend.” He smiled.

“Friend? When did you make friends with such a person?” Zhuo Hang murmured in disbelief.

“He is a very good person. I will look for him frequently in the future, so please use a more positive attitude towards him. Don’t be like this and that.5this and that, as in their current attitude” Qiu Zhenyang squinted at Zhuo Hang. He knew Ling Mu’s looks weren’t very popular or accepted, but he couldn’t stand his friend looking down on Ling Mu.

“I know, your friend is our friend.” Yuan Chenyu patted Qiu Zhenyang on the shoulder. Zhuo Hang nodded after seeing his serious face.

Since he’s his brother’s friend, he’s also their friend.

Satisfied, Qiu Zhenyang patted them back. “Okay, I’ll formally introduce him next time when I have a chance.”

This episode became the topic of gossip for many freshmen all afternoon, but all the parties involved kept silent, so it eventually faded out.

The first day of military training was really easy. They were disbanded relatively early, and everyone was quite energetic as they chatted and left the grounds one after another.

Qiu Zhenyang raised his head and looked for Ling Mu. This time, he finally found a conspicuous young man among the group of short people. He had taken off his cap, and was walking towards the school gate, probably preparing to pick up Ling Dang from school.

Ling Dang is now in elementary school, and there’s a school car that does pick up and drop off, so she can be delivered directly to the academy’s gates safely.

With that in mind, Qiu Zhenyang decided to go back to the dorm first to prepare dinner.

After finally living with Ling Mu and Ling Dang, he couldn’t continue watching the two live on nutritional supplements. Although he still doesn’t know much about food here, and the ingredients are very different from his previous world, he has many years of experience living alone, and he also studied cooking himself before. With a little practice, he should be able to make some nicer tasting meals.

After greeting Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu, Qiu Zhenyang headed back.

He first went to the bathroom to wash off. After emerging with wet hair, he put on a shirt and shorts, and went to the kitchen.

Different from when Qiu Zhenyang was in school,6re: past life dorms Interstellar Academy allows students to cook for themselves. There is also a small vegetable market on the commercial street with fresh vegetables and meat delivered every day.

However, he didn’t need to buy anything yet. When Zhu Qin accompanied him to buy things before, he asked the bodyguards to buy a lot of things.
