Chapter 26: Dodging

Shu Lin stared at Shao Chengxi on the television screen.

His expression was calm as he stated in a businesslike manner:

“The procuratorate has the power to handle cases independently according to the law, free from interference from any organization, individual, or group, without exception. However, I believe that the prosecutors responsible for this case will certainly restore fairness and justice to the public.”

Many students were drawn to him, involuntarily stopping their chopsticks and looking up at the television.

Shao Chengxi looked straight ahead, seemingly making eye contact with every viewer in front of the television screen.

He solemnly declared:

“These two cases are serious terrorist attacks, which not only caused enormous economic losses but also threatened the lives and safety of the people. We will never condone this, and we will thoroughly investigate to the end, eradicate these evil forces, and give the public a satisfactory explanation.”

His voice was firm and powerful, carrying an undeniable determination, which was very encouraging.

As soon as he finished speaking, a lively discussion broke out in the cafeteria.

“Oh my god, Minister Shao is too handsome!” An Omega covered her chest, looking infatuated.

“Yes, yes, yes, he looks so cool in his military uniform!”

“This is the real S-Class Alpha, with an aura of two meters and eighty centimeters!”

“You Omegas are so shallow, only know how to look at faces. Is Minister Shao’s charm only in his face?”

“Exactly, Minister Shao’s greatest charm is his ability.”

“That’s right, that’s right, he was so handsome when he said he would give the public a satisfactory explanation!”

“Look at his firm eyes, so reassuring!”

“He’s not married yet, so aloof and abstinent, I’m afraid he’s not interested in Omegas.”

“That’s true, no one is perfect.”

The news was over, and Shu Lin lowered his head to eat.

After a while, Gu Xiao, who was sitting next to him, nudged him, “Baby, why are your ears suddenly red?”

“Cough, cough, cough.”

Shu Lin choked, took the water that Gu Xiao handed over, drank a few sips, and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s cold, I was just frozen.”

Gu Xiao had a mischievous smile on his face, raised his hand to touch his ears, “It doesn’t look like it to me, honestly, did you see that handsome Minister Shao and my baby is thinking of spring?”

Shu Lin was annoyed and poked him hard, “What nonsense are you talking about? I think you’re the one thinking of spring.”

Gu Xiao chuckled, “I’m a Beta and I don’t have an estrus, and there’s no rut, so I can’t think about it even if I want to. By the way, baby, when is your next estrus?”

Shu Lin calculated, “It won’t affect the dubbing project, probably next year…”

“Shu Lin.”

Someone interrupted him.

Shu Lin turned his head to look, and when he saw the person, he looked surprised.

Gu Xiao also turned his head to look with him, and immediately exclaimed:

“Oh my god, it’s the famous Shao Shiyan, the third young master of the Shao family, from the Conservatory of Music! Baby, when did you hook up with such a big shot?”

“What do you mean by hook up?” Shao Shiyan sat down next to Shu Lin with a smile, “We are serious friends.”

Gu Xiao widened his eyes: “Friends? What kind of friends? To the extent that you can wave your hand and give millions?”

Shao Shiyan casually put his arm around Shu Lin’s shoulder and raised the corner of his mouth, “What is a few million? Tens of millions are nothing, right, baby?”

Gu Xiao shouted: “Really? Baby…”

“Gu Xiao,” Shu Lin interrupted him, rubbing his forehead, “Don’t you have an exam this afternoon? Do you want to sharpen your skills before the battle?”

Gu Xiao slapped his forehead, “Oh right, I almost forgot. I, I’ll go sharpen my skills first, even if it’s not fast, it’s still bright. Baby, after I finish the exam, you have to honestly explain your affair to me, you haven’t told me about the last affair yet.”

Shu Lin said helplessly, “We are both Omegas, where did the affair come from?”

Gu Xiao got up, bumped him with his shoulder, and winked, “OO love is even more exciting.”

Shu Lin: “…”

Shao Shiyan: “…”

After Gu Xiao left, Shao Shiyan leaned closer to Shu Lin, imitating Gu Xiao: “Baby, he said you have an affair, what’s going on?”

Shu Lin’s head was about to explode, “He’s already called us an affair, can you believe what he says? Also, don’t call me baby, just call me Shu Lin.”

Shao Shiyan looked innocent, “Fertile water should not flow into other people’s fields, why can that male Beta call you that, but I can’t?”

Shu Lin puffed out his cheeks unhappily, “Anyway, just don’t call me that, don’t call me that!”

Shao Shiyan laughed, “Okay, okay, I won’t call you that, I won’t call you that. Shu Lin, I have something to remind you.”

“What is it?”

“My second brother is a jealous pot,” Shao Shiyan blinked, “If he knew you were so close to other men, I’m afraid he would be very jealous.”

Shu Lin glanced at him, “Gu Xiao is my high school classmate, and we go to the same university. We are good friends, and he is a Beta, don’t talk nonsense.”

“I’m not talking nonsense,” Shao Shiyan pretended to be serious, “Last time I just said a few more words to you, you saw what my second brother looked like.”

“It’s not that exaggerated…”

“Really! You don’t know, my second brother looks cold on the outside, but among the three of us brothers, he has the strongest possessiveness, I’ve said all I need to say, believe it or not.”

Shu Lin didn’t want to talk about this topic with him anymore, and changed the subject: “You came to me today is…”

“Oh right,” Shao Shiyan slapped his forehead, “I almost forgot the main thing. Grandpa misses you and asked me to take you back to the old residence.”

Shu Lin’s face stiffened, “Haven’t I been there once? Still going…”

“What,” Shao Shiyan raised an eyebrow, “Don’t want to go?”

Shu Lin avoided his gaze: “I have something to do this afternoon…”

“Stop it,” Shao Shiyan exposed him, “I’ve already found out, you don’t have an exam this afternoon.”

Shu Lin was speechless.

In the past two months, Shao Shiyan had called him many times to ask him to return to the Shao Residence, and even went to his house to find him.

Every time he made various excuses to refuse, and only went reluctantly once when he couldn’t refuse anymore.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Shao Residence, he felt inexplicably uneasy, afraid of running into Shao Yuanheng again.

Fortunately, he was lucky and didn’t encounter him.

Shao Tingrui was very kind to him, and the other Shao family members he met didn’t make things difficult for him.

Especially his great aunt, Shao Yuqin, was very kind.

Even so, he still didn’t want to go.

“Shu Lin,” Shao Shiyan put away his joking expression, “Grandpa really misses you. Second brother has been on a business trip for two months, and grandpa is afraid of neglecting you and often talks about you.”

Shu Lin lowered his head and muttered, “But I…”

Just then, his cell phone rang.

It was Shu Lingxiao.

“Sister?”

“Shu Lin,” Shu Lingxiao’s voice came, “I’m near your school, you don’t have an exam this afternoon, right? Do you want to take my car home?”

Shu Lin’s eyes lit up, “Okay!”

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Shao Shiyan: “My sister is coming to pick me up, I won’t go to the old residence today, another day…”

Shao Shiyan’s eyes turned: “That’s great, I haven’t seen Lingxiao sister for a long time, let’s take her car together!”

Shu Lin: “……”

In this way, Shao Shiyan successfully “hijacked” Shu Lin.

While waiting for the car, he didn’t forget to tease: “Shu Lin, do you think my second brother will be jealous if he knows I kidnapped you?”

Shu Lin smiled helplessly and sighed in his heart.

He and Shao Chengxi had no feelings, the two were just a transaction where each took what they needed, so why would he be jealous?

Shu Lingxiao’s car arrived.

As soon as he got into the car, Shu Lin noticed a strange phenomenon.
