CH 4

During the night of lightning and thunder, the smell of blood entered his nose.

Chi Ning, dressed in cotton white pajamas, ran barefoot down the stairs, unable to feel the cold through the thick carpet.

He dashed into the living room just as a bolt of lightning struck.

It was clearly visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Everyone who had heard the news, including the team doctor and soldiers escorting Chu Shaochen back, looked at Chi Ning, who had turned white and stopped in his tracks.

Sympathy was written in their eyes.

He’s so pitiful because he has to endure such pain that he’s only recently passed the marriage application and can’t even have the wedding on time.

What a weak Omega, who will panic at the smallest thing.

Seeing the sympathy in their eyes, Chi Ning tried hard to suppress his fear as he moved his hand holding the railing of the stairs, and took a step forward.

The lightning strike just now was too scary.

He would have turned around and gone back to the room to get under the quilt if there hadn’t been so many people.

It’s strange how he trembles with fear every time he comes across a thunderstorm night.

Could it be that he was struck by lightning and died in his previous life?

“Young master Chi—”

The servants in the house shouted, worried that he couldn’t bear such a bloody scene.

Chu Shaochen on the stretcher had a penetrating wound on his right shoulder, which was still covered with blood after simple treatment.

It was a liquid object formed by the explosion, and its lethality was no less than that of a real weapon within a certain range.

Chi Ning moved.

He approached the stretcher one step at a time under everyone’s gaze.

It’s only a matter of seconds, but it feels like an eternity.

Ignoring everyone’s gaze, he turned to face Chu Shaochen on the stretcher, a more three-dimensional face than the one on the optical brain, his face as pale as paper, his lips as pale, his uniform open, and the white shirt inside was stained red with blood.

The moment he saw the blood, his throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible force.

Chi Ning’s vision blurred, and he knelt beside the stretcher, clutching the stretcher’s edge as if grasping a life-saving straw.

Oh no, he seemed to be dizzy.

Raising his head, his face was almost as pale as Chu Shaochen’s.

A hand with well-defined joints, slender and strong, and a layer of calluses can be seen in front of him. He was dazed and held that hand before he could think.

His fingertips were still trembling, and he half-closed his eyes and dared not open them, afraid that if he looked at him again, he would faint.

His sight was clouded with tears as if Chu Shaochen had really fallen.

Everyone thought Chi Ning was pitiful and frail, and that he had fainted from shock.

Chu Shaochen was lying in a daze at first, but when his hand was held, he opened his eyes and turned his head slightly to look at Chi Ning.

This was their first official meeting, and they didn’t expect such a flustered scene.

He also planned to give Chi Ning a surprise, but he didn’t expect to give him this kind of surprise.

Holding Chi Ning’s hand back with difficulty, seeing those watery eyes, his thin lips moved, “…Don’t cry.”

Omega’s crying turns out to be very distressing rather than annoying.

Tears streamed from his eye sockets, leaving tear stains on his face.

“Don’t die, I don’t want to be a widow,” Chi Ning blinked, his eyes welling up with tears.

Widowhood is good, but it’s too early.

Everyone: “…”

How bold.

Chu Shaochen didn’t realize it, but he was satisfied by the Omega’s worry and squeezed his fingers, “Don’t worry, it’s just a minor injury.”

Chi Ning was puzzled and asked, “Minor injury? The kind that heals quickly?”

Chu Shaochen hesitated for a while, “No, I need to stay in bed for a month, and my wife will take care of me, otherwise I won’t get better.”

Military doctor: “…”

He is not worthy to stand here, despite the fact that he is the doctor among all those present.

What the General says is what it is, and a month is a month.

Even if the injury appears to be severe, a top Alpha can fully recover within a week.

Qiao Si and Ka Xiu fell silent at the same time.

The top Alpha appears to change more than the general Alpha after finding the matching Omega.

Chi Ning rubbed his astringent eyes, regretting his overindulgence in the previous two days of reading several books in a row.

So uncomfortable, and his eyes were so dry.

Rubbing it made his eyes more red and made him look more pitiful.

Chi Ning stood up and looked at the military doctor in a white coat, “Excuse me, is there anything I need to pay attention to when taking care of General?”

The military doctor lowered his head, met Chu Shaochen’s eyes, and immediately understood, “Don’t let it touch the water, change the dressing three times a day, morning, noon, and night, someone should keep watch at night to prevent the patient from getting fever due to inflammation, and—”

What else can provide care for two people to be close and alone together?

Chi Ning was slightly surprised, was Chu Shaochen’s injury so serious?

Whoa, he wondered if it could be recorded to see if the top Alpha’s recovery was really great.

Chi Ning nodded, “Alright, I understand.”

After careful consideration, the military doctor added, “Pay attention to the patient’s mood, and focus on the patient’s wishes.”

He is simply a master of getting AO couples to get along.

Chi Ning nodded again, not noticing that Chu Shaochen and the military doctor exchanged glances when he lowered his head.

“General, you have worked hard.”

Thinking of Chu Shaochen’s experience, Chi Ning finally had a real sense of experiencing war and said sincerely.

Chu Shaochen mumbled a guilty “uhm”, and his Adam’s apple twitched.

He was seriously injured, what is there to be guilty of, and no one had made it clear that a top Alpha could only take a week to recover.

Only Chi Ning and Voss remained in the room after fussing around until five in the morning and sending everyone else out.

Chi Ning’s eyes were red as he sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the sleeping Chu Shaochen for a moment, which surprised Voss.

It’s so rare that there is an Omega who is not afraid of the General.

Voss suggested: “Young Master Chi, do you want to go rest first, I’ll keep watch here, and you can come back at ten o’clock.”

Chi Ning sat on the edge of the bed and shook his head, “No, Mr. Voss, you go to rest, I want to keep looking after him.”

“Then you have worked hard, the General will be happy.”

“It’s not difficult at all.”

It is not only not difficult, but it is also enjoyable.

The top Alpha is even more valuable than the S-class battleship, and seeing it up close is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With all the meat delivered to his mouth, it would be impolite to refuse.

Voss was getting older and didn’t want to see such intense emotions, so he wiped away his tears, and closed the door to leave.

Chi Ning listened to the sound of the door closing for a few seconds.

He then turned on the optical computer and create a new folder to record the top Alpha’s behavior habits.

What is the suitable name for the file?

Top Alpha taming plan or observation diary?

Forget it, the observation diary is better.

He quickly determines the file name and writes the first line.

[On the night of June 10th, he was injured during a thunderstorm.]

Time passed, and the documents were filled with information about Chu Shaochen’s physical condition after his injury.

—

The sky turned bright, and Chu Shaochen was still sleeping soundly on the bed.

Chi Ning squinted for almost ten minutes, woke up at the waking service of the optical brain, stretched his waist, and turned his head to look at the mirror, almost frightened.

Why are his eyes swollen like walnuts?

Even staying up for three nights wouldn’t be enough to come to this.

He blinked and looked at Chu Shaochen on the bed, only to discover that he was still sleeping. He stood up and bent over to take a closer look.

He thought it was really different. It’s only been more than two hours, and his face is no longer pale.

Is this the recovery everyone yearns for?

AA is different, unlike his second brother, who will howl all night just because a leaf cut his arm.

Shaking his head, Chi Ning was about to back away when he saw the closed eyes at his fingertips open unexpectedly. He was frightened and wanted to retreat, but after standing for too long, his knees became numb, and he fell forward.

In a panic, he put his hand on the pillow above Chu Shaochen’s shoulder.

Chi Ning and Chu Shaochen both stared wide-eyed and motionless.

Ah, there seems to be something wrong.

Why is he acting like a thief.

“What are you doing?”

“… Pulling the quilt for you?”

The well-covered quilt signifies innocence.

Chu Shaochen raised his eyebrows, the quilt was pressed by his arms, how did Chi Ning plan to pull it?

And he woke up when Chi Ning kept staring at him.

Chi Ning pursed his lips, his mind raced, his eyes became embarrassed, and he whispered, “I want to take a good look at General’s face because I can’t look closely on the optical brain.”

Chu Shaochen: “Then do you see anything?”

Chi Ning was surprised that Chu Shaochen would ask him, but he quickly responded, “How can the virtual image on the optical brain compare to the real person?”

Chu Shaochen was silent and then tried to flatten the corners of his mouth.

Chi Ning was curious, “General?”

Could it be that he is being so blunt, and Chu Shaochen likes him to be more disciplined?

Alas, just trying to live in peace is too difficult.

Then let’s be a little more disciplined.

Chi Ning blinked, retracted his hands, and stepped back, then placed his hands on his knees and looking up at Chu Shaochen respectfully and obediently. “General, please forgive my rudeness just now; I will pay attention to the propriety in the future.”

Propriety?

Why should he pay attention to propriety?

Was he looking for an Omega for the sake of propriety?

Of course, if there is no sense of propriety, it is preferable to proceed with deep communication, and so on.

Chu Shaochen was about to correct Chi Ning’s misunderstanding when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

Chi Ning stood up and went to open the door, completely unaware of Chu Shaochen’s thoughts.

He was taken aback when he saw it was Voss, “Mr. Vos, what brings you here?”

Voss looked inside, and his voice was not loud enough for everyone to hear, “Young master Chi, your mother and second brother are here.”

His expression was a bit weird as if it was something difficult to say.

After Voss finished speaking, he saw Chi Ning’s eyes light up.

Chi Ning stood at the door and looked at Chu Shaochen who was on the bed, “It’s my mother and second brother who came. Maybe they heard the news about your injury, so they came to visit you. I’ll go down first.”

Let him go and see what kind of demon they are.

When Chu Shaochen nodded, Chi Ning followed Voss downstairs.

Ye Ru and Chi Mingfang sat in the living room exquisitely and well-dressed.

It’s just that the color matching is too excessive, as they were all dressed in black, and it doesn’t look like they’re visiting a sick person, but rather going to a funeral

Chi Ning hesitated on the stairs and watched for a few seconds before going downstairs.

“Ning Ning, my child, why do you look so haggard?” Ye Ru put down the cup, and the moment she saw Chi Ning, her eyes were full of distress.

Chi Ning: “…”

So scary, is he still having nightmares?

He looked at Chi Mingfang beside her who had a solemn expression, as if at a funeral.

He wondered if the Chi family had read the fake news from the Imperial Star gossip tabloid and thought that Chu Shaochen was critically ill.

Otherwise, a normal person’s IQ would not be able to do such a thing.

Let’s say Chu Shaochen was seriously injured, and it’s best not to let him meet these two people, lest he see this scene and think that the Chi family has some brain problems.

It’s always difficult for him to explain in person that he is different from them.

Chi Ning rolled his eyes, took a step forward, and lowered his gaze “Mom, General was injured and still in a coma and bedridden. We will definitely pay a visit to Chi’s family house once he has recovered from his injury.”

He is now the top Alpha’s ‘person,’ so how can he not return for a visit.

Even if the Chi family’s eighteen generations of Alphas combined, they couldn’t get SSS level Alpha.

Ye Ru had heard Chi Ning the place where he lived since he was a child as “Chi’s Family house,” as if it belonged to an unrelated strange family.

She was about to speak when she saw Chi Mingfang next to her motioning her to look up.

Both of them raised their heads and were stunned.

Chi Ning followed and met Chu Shaochen’s eyes, it took only a second to accept the fact that Chu Shaochen had gotten out of bed, and quickly followed up with what he said just now.

“As one would expect from a top Alpha, the recovery speed is comparable to a medical miracle.”
