Chapter 146: Appearance

Shu Lin truly felt sorry for those patients.

Last time, he used his pheromones to pull those patients back from losing control.

However, due to the damage from sonic pheromones, their pheromone deficiencies have not yet fully recovered.

With the new type of medicine using Shu Lin’s pheromones as a key, they could recover.

But that would require a professional medical team and a lot of money.

However, if they could afford all of that, they wouldn’t have been indiscriminately targeted by Hong Zhengyue in the first place, turning them into what they are now.

Without professional doctors and enough money, they would be tormented by illness for the rest of their lives.

Shu Lin’s question made Shao Chengxi’s hand freeze in mid-air.

He saw the light dim in Shu Lin’s eyes, his long eyelashes casting shadows on his face, as if all his strength had suddenly been drained away.

Shao Chengxi’s heart clenched fiercely, and he cupped Shu Lin’s cheeks in both hands:

“I’m sorry, baby… I, I… currently, this is all I can do…”

His fingertip suddenly brushed against a hint of wetness.

Shu Lin turned his face away, his voice as light as falling petals:

“So, politics… has no warmth. In the end, it was just me being naive…”

These words were like an awl, piercing Shao Chengxi sharply.

He wanted to defend himself, to promise, but in the end, he could only hold the person tightly in his arms.

Being in the vortex of politics, there were too many involuntary actions and unspeakable things.

The matter passed just like that.

After that, Shu Lin never brought up the topic again.

But Shao Chengxi knew that he was unhappy, and seemed to have no energy to do anything.

He was always listless and lethargic, and didn’t even eat properly.

He also especially loved to sleep in in the mornings.

Only when it came to his own radio drama did he seem to perk up a bit.

Fortunately, as Shao Chengxi’s twenty-ninth birthday approached, Shu Lin’s attention shifted and he began to busy himself preparing for it.

By preparing, it meant that he and Shao Chengxi would be doing an interview with the Imperial Capital Daily.

Shu Lin’s popularity was too high, and the public’s voice was too loud, so the Shao family made this decision considering public support and sentiment.

They couldn’t just cross the river and tear down the bridge, ignoring the public’s voice.

That would lead to a loss of public support.

This was a major taboo in politics.

The interview was scheduled for nine thirty in the morning on April 10th.

According to the interview outline sent by the Imperial Capital Daily reporter, the public relations team had already rehearsed with Shu Lin and Shao Chengxi.

There shouldn’t be any problems.

But Shu Lin was still nervous.

On April 10th, he woke up very early and didn’t even sleep in. He only ate a few bites of breakfast.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the morning light pierced through the mist, plating the roses in the courtyard with a layer of gold.

In the walk-in closet, Shu Lin was putting on the clothes he would wear for the interview.

The black suit was sharply tailored, outlining Shu Lin’s slender and upright figure.

The fabric was matte, without a trace of extravagance, only adorned with two dark silver cufflinks at the cuffs.

Understated but refined.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, his fingertips lightly smoothing his lapels.

This outfit made him shed some of his childishness and added a touch of composure.

When Shao Chengxi pushed the door open and entered, Shu Lin was looking up, adjusting his tie.

The slender line of his neck extended deep into the collar.

The Alpha’s eyes darkened slightly. He took two steps closer and reached out to adjust his tie for him, his knuckles brushing against his Adam’s apple almost imperceptibly.

“Baby, you look so good.” Shao Chengxi’s voice was low and deep, and he placed his palm against the small of his back, pulling him into his arms. “It’s just too serious.”

Shu Lin looked at himself in the mirror and took a deep breath.

It was serious.

It didn’t even look like himself.

But this was the image the public relations team had designed for him to appear in.

The Omega partner of the Minister of Defense should be like this.

“Baby.” Shao Chengxi wrapped his arms around him, resting his chin on the top of his head. “Nervous?”

“Mm… a little.” Shu Lin nodded honestly. “Also, not used to it.”

After the Military Police incident, this was his first time formally facing the media.

It was strange, now that he thought about it. Before, when he was saving his Alpha, he stood alone in front of the live broadcast camera and spoke so much without any problems.

Now, his Alpha was right by his side, but he felt a little lost.

Shao Chengxi chuckled softly and turned his shoulders, “Don’t worry, your husband is here.”

Shu Lin gave a delicate hum and snuggled into Shao Chengxi’s arms to act spoiled:

“Husband, if I accidentally make a fool of myself, you have to protect me.”

Shao Chengxi chuckled softly, pinching Shu Lin’s chin with his fingers, and teasing him in his ear:

“Baby, don’t worry, only I am qualified to see you make a fool of yourself. Who else has the right?”

As he spoke, his fingertips traced Shu Lin’s scent glands in an ambiguous manner.

“Shao Chengxi!” Shu Lin trembled slightly, slapping his hand away in annoyance. “When can you be serious? Act like a minister, okay?”

Shao Chengxi’s eyes curved into crescents, and he just laughed as he held him.

After his interruption, Shu Lin was no longer nervous.

10:00 AM, Reception Room.

The interview started on time.

Wei Mingqian, the chief reporter of the Imperial Capital Daily, adjusted his recording pen and couldn’t help but admire the two people sitting across from him.

Tsk, tsk, look at these two people in front of him, they’re really pleasing to the eye.

They’re so well-matched.

Shu Lin’s real-life appearance was truly amazing.

He was sitting on the sofa half a meter away, the sunlight shining on him through the gauze curtains, his porcelain-white skin covered with a layer of soft light.

He obediently lowered his eyes, and the scene was so exquisite that people dared not breathe.

And Shao Chengxi’s presence was overwhelmingly strong.

Even just sitting quietly, he was like an unsheathed sword, exuding sharpness.

As soon as the red light on the recording pen turned on, Wei Mingqian noticed an anomaly.

When Shu Lin adjusted his sitting position, his cuff accidentally hooked onto Shao Chengxi’s military uniform cuff.

The beautiful Omega gave a light “ah” sound, and was about to untie the silver button with his fingertips, but the Alpha held his wrist in his backhand.

“Don’t move.”

Shao Chengxi’s voice was low and gentle, eight degrees lower than when he accepted military interviews.

He used his well-defined fingers to slowly untangle the entanglement of the two people’s cuffs.

However, his fingertips were very dishonest, always brushing against Shu Lin’s palm.

Wei Mingqian clearly saw that Shu Lin’s ears instantly turned red.

He also used an angry look to warn his Alpha to restrain himself.

Under the camera, the jade rings on the two people’s ring fingers were particularly eye-catching.

Seeing this scene, Wei Mingqian tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth.

The interview was conducted in a live broadcast format.

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room fell like snowflakes, and the popularity had soared to number one.

The barrage swiped so fast that the server was on the verge of collapse.

When the director adjusted the camera, the screen happened to capture a close-up of Shao Chengxi playing with Shu Lin’s fingertips.

#ShaoMinister’sFingers# instantly rushed to the fifth most searched topic.

Wei Mingqian glanced at these “improper” barrages, coughed lightly, and officially began today’s interview.
