Rong Shi kept an eye on the surroundings, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Song Yu glaring at him. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he suddenly remembered their earlier conversation.

For a moment, they just stared at each other in silence.

Song Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze growing increasingly terrifying.

Rong Shi quickly tried to salvage the situation: “I also li—”

Before he could finish, his mouth was forcefully covered.

Song Yu’s voice was chilling: “I think a second marriage sounds pretty good right now.”

Rong Shi: “…”

[Detected. Alpha pheromone levels are fluctuating greatly. The person is already in an out-of-control state.]

01’s voice resonated in both their minds.

Song Yu tilted his head to look at the small pavilion: “Find a way to cause trouble. Don’t let the Omega be marked.”

[Received.]

Rong Shi: “…”

Inside the small pavilion, 01 transformed into a snake in the dark grass, slithering up the Omega’s ankle to his shoulder. Its tail flicked his face a few times.

The Omega was trying to control the Alpha’s rationality. First, he swatted his hand, then turned his head to look.

“Ah—! Snake, snake!”

The Omega’s face turned pale with fright, screaming as he stumbled backward.

01, fearing the effect wasn’t enough, wrapped itself around his neck, its mouth opening wider than his head.

“Ahhhhhhh—!”

The Omega slipped and fell to the ground, scrambling backward with hands and feet, only to hit a stone pillar and immediately pass out.

01 tapped his face with its tail.

[Not very easily scared, are we?]

Rong Shi: “…”

The out-of-control Yan Kai didn’t regain consciousness because the Omega fainted. Instead, he chased after him with red eyes, grabbing the Omega from the ground and trying to bite his scent gland.

01 extended its tail, blocking his open mouth.

No matter how many times Yan Kai tried, he only bit 01’s metal tail.

While 01 was in action, Rong Shi and Song Yu pressed themselves against the green wall, wary of any potential helpers who might appear.

After the Omega’s second scream, someone walked over from a distant corner.

Under the dim streetlights, Rong Shi recognized the person as Qin Zhao’s wife, Lin Jing.

Suddenly, another cloyingly sweet floral scent wafted over. The frenzied Yan Kai convulsed and fell to the ground as if suddenly poisoned.

Rong Shi and Song Yu’s expressions changed simultaneously.

An Omega’s pheromones could control an Alpha to this extent?

Before Lin Jing arrived, 01 darted into the grass, returned to Rong Shi’s hand, and transformed into a pistol.

[This Omega is too terrifying!]

“Carry him away.”

Lin Jing stood in front of Yan Kai, her lowered head obscuring her expression.

As soon as she spoke, four people silently appeared and carried away the unconscious Yan Kai and Omega.

It wasn’t until everyone had disappeared from sight that Rong Shi pulled Song Yu away.

Just as they returned to the banquet hall entrance, 01’s investigation results came out.

[Yan Kai has been sent to the guest room.]

Song Yu and Rong Shi exchanged glances. Song Yu shook off his hand and pushed the door open: “Don’t follow me.”

Rong Shi: “…”

Changing moods faster than flipping a book?

The two returned to the banquet hall one after another. Everyone else was secretly observing and discussing amongst themselves.

“After all, he’s royalty. Even if it’s a fake marriage, he wouldn’t tolerate his nominal partner having an affair.”

“Given his personality, he definitely wouldn’t tolerate any impurity.”

“But seriously, wouldn’t pretending to be so intimate with someone of the same sex cause a physiological aversion?”

“Whether it’s the same sex doesn’t matter; looks are key.”

“Don’t you feel that atmosphere between them?”

“That just means they’re good actors.”

Despite their fascination, most people refused to believe that their relationship was genuine.

Song Yu was now also beginning to doubt whether Rong Shi was truly his ‘bunny,’ or rather, if this dead rabbit even liked him.

“Bro, what are you doing? Drink less!”

Seeing Song Yu downing champagne glass after glass after his return, Qin Luo spoke up to stop him.

Song Yu put down his glass: “Indeed. Go get me some red wine.”

Qin Luo: “…”

“What’s wrong?” He Nian walked over and sat next to Song Yu. “Did Rong Shi upset you?”

Song Yu scoffed: “What’s he? How could he affect my mood?”

Seeing that he wasn’t driven away, He Nian continued to ask: “Then why have you been so gloomy all night?”

Song Yu crossed his long legs, resting his arm on the armrest of the sofa, and looked at him, smiling: “You’re the one who cares about me the most, Bunny.”

He Nian chuckled softly: “We’ve known each other for so many years. I can tell if you’re happy or not at a glance.”

Song Yu smiled: “Oh… how many years?”

He Nian’s smile stiffened, and he said nervously: “Five, five or six years, I guess? Look at my memory.”

The Omegas who had been watching Song Yu saw him chatting with He Nian and tentatively moved closer.

They hadn’t expected not to be driven away!

Where there’s one, there’s two, and where there are two, there are countless.

Soon, Song Yu’s resting area was filled with Omegas. Everyone chatted, one after another.

At first, they thought Song Yu wouldn’t bother to respond, but unexpectedly, he answered every question he could. The area suddenly became incredibly lively.

“So, how did you meet the Military Academy Chairman? Did he also like Alphas from the beginning?”

Song Yu tilted his head to look at Rong Shi, who was sitting with Liu Hong and the others.

Through the crowd, their gazes met from afar.

Song Yu chuckled softly: “Him? If he didn’t have that face, he’d probably die alone.”

Although he couldn’t hear the sound, Rong Shi, who understood lip-reading, “…”

“Ah, so you only like his face too?” an Omega asked.

“Of course,” Song Yu said casually. “Besides that face, what else is there about him to like?”

Rong Shi: “…”

It seemed that he had truly ruffled little Song Cat’s feathers.

A group of Omegas were amused by Song Yu’s words.

“So you like this type of aura? Aren’t He Nian and Rong Shi the same type? Do you like them too?”

Song Yu took the red wine that Qin Luo poured and drank half the glass in one go.

“Of course I like them. How could I dislike Bunny?”

“Bunny? What a cute nickname.”

“Why call He Nian ‘Bunny’?”

He Nian sat by, smiling, listening to Song Yu talk about their relationship. He felt that such a development was beneficial to the plan, yet he vaguely had a bad premonition. But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn’t pinpoint what the problem was.

Things were finally going smoothly; maybe it was just an illusion?

Song Yu was drinking, and others followed suit.

A group of people drank and chatted, having a wonderful time.

“We have monthly exams right after we go back. What kind of life is this, damn it?” Liu Hong complained.

“I’m not afraid of simulated battles, but I really haven’t opened a textbook in a long time,” Old Bai sighed, shaking his head, ready to give up.

Hu Feng: “I’ve long heard that this monthly exam will be very difficult.”

Chen Chen: “Yes, I heard the difficulty of the last first-year monthly exam was already close to the second year, causing the second-year exam paper instructors to also increase the difficulty, and all of this is because—”

They all looked at Chairman Rong, who had been swirling his wine glass for a while but hadn’t taken a single sip.

He was the first in the military academy’s history to raise the monthly exam’s difficulty by 100% single-handedly.

Rong Shi wasn’t listening to what they were saying at all. All his attention was focused on the other target Omegas in the hall and on Song Yu.

Seven target Omegas, plus the most dangerous He Nian, had gathered around Song Yu.

As the banquet entered its latter half, Qian Li, surrounded by Qin Zhao and others, returned to the first floor.

Rong Shi got up to see him off.

Qian Li exchanged contact numbers with him on the spot.

“When you have time, take more photos of Xiao Fan for me. When I ask him for them, he always refuses.”

Rong Shi agreed.

“Don’t worry, I’ll send them to you as soon as I get back.”

Qian Li nodded, his hands behind his back, and left with his special assistant.

With the big shot gone and Rong Shi’s affiliation settled, Zhao Ji and the others also weren’t willing to stay any longer. They found an excuse and left.

The latter half of the banquet completely turned into a youth rave.

Rong Shi’s brows furrowed, watching Song Yu down red wine glass after glass. His fair face was flushed, and the coffee table in front of him was already covered with empty bottles.

The Omegas chatting with him weren’t doing much better; their eyes were unfocused, and their heads swayed back and forth.

[If he keeps drinking like this, he’ll get alcohol poisoning even if he doesn’t get drunk.]

Rong Shi: “…”

After midnight, fewer and fewer people remained at the banquet.

Those who were drunk were helped by the host’s staff to guest rooms to rest and would return the next day.

Qin Luo came out of the restroom and ran into Qin Zhao. He casually said, “That group of people will probably have to stay here tonight. Could Major General Qin arrange it?”

Qin Zhao’s gaze swept over: “Song Yu too?”

Even drunk noble scions had someone to send them home, but some chose to stay over to avoid the hassle of going back and forth.

Qin Luo: “Yes.”

Qin Zhao tilted his head to look at Lin Jing, who was greeting others. Seeing him nod, he agreed.

Qin Luo noted this and kept it in mind as he returned to the lounge area.

After draining the last bottle of red wine, Song Yu placed the empty glass back on the coffee table.

But his hand trembled, and the glass wasn’t placed steadily, crashing to the ground.

He rubbed his eyes and shakily got up. Turning around, his knee hit the armrest of the sofa, and he fell backward.

Qin Luo was only halfway there and quickly ran over.

“Bro!”

Song Yu staggered backward a few steps. Before he could regain his balance, his back hit a hard surface.

“Why did you drink so much?” Rong Shi supported him, his face grim, but his tone filled with concern.

The person in his arms was completely limp, seemingly very drunk.

“Of course I have to drink when I’m happy,” Song Yu mumbled, struggling to push him away.

Rong Shi wouldn’t let go.

Allowing little Song Cat to stay among a group of Omegas for a night was already his limit.

During their struggle, Song Yu was turned over and laid prone on his shoulder.

If it weren’t for the presence of others, Rong Shi would have simply picked him up and left.

“Xiao Yu?” Rong Shi stroked his head, trying to call him, “Want to go back with me?”

The head on his shoulder moved, and then Song Yu’s slurred voice came to his ear.

“Quan… Quantum mechanics studies the physics, the microscopic particles of the material world… The laws of mo… motion…”

Rong Shi: “…”

Reciting?

Song Yu rubbed against his neck, like a sleepy cat seeking a comfortable sleeping position.

“Bun… Bunny…”

The husky voice by his ear instantly broke Rong Shi’s composure. A current of electricity surged from his chest, spreading throughout his body, even numbing his fingertips.

Rong Shi stiffened, his arms around Song Yu suddenly tightening.

Qin Luo quickly arrived, glanced at Song Yu, then looked at the group of Omegas in the lounge who were swaying drunkenly. He said to Rong Shi, “I’ve spoken to Major General Qin. He’s arranged guest rooms.”

Rong Shi: “Which room are you staying in? He’s drunk; I’ll take him over.”

Qin Luo gave a room number: “Go to door number three. There’s a butler there who will take you. You two can use that room. I’ll stay with Liu Hong and the others.”

Rong Shi: “Mm.”

Watching Rong Shi carry Song Yu away, Qin Luo walked over to Liu Hong and the others, grabbed a bottle of wine, and continued to party.

Chen Chen quietly asked: “What’s going on? Did they fight? Why is Song Yu so drunk?”

Qin Luo shook his head: “Don’t ask. We singles can’t understand people in relationships.”

Liu Hong: “Oh, very enlightened!”

Old Bai: “This scene tonight, it’s really not right.”

Hu Feng clinked bottles with them: “Alright, in my experience, there’s no conflict that can’t be resolved by sleeping for one night. If it can’t be resolved, then sleep for two nights.”

Liu Hong and others: “…”

These players are really different.

Qin Luo tilted his head back and drank, thinking that wasn’t necessarily true.

Perhaps one night could solve it, but the key was who slept with whom.

---

Across the room, Qian Xun, hugging the Omega she had just flirted with, asked: “Song Yu is so drunk, should we send him some hangover soup?”

Qin Luo: “No need.”

Drunk? Ha.

His Highness, he’s never drunk, even after a thousand cups.

However, although he wouldn’t get drunk, he would become very aggressive.

In every sense.

The drunken little cat was anything but obedient.

Rong Shi carried Song Yu, who was squirming in his arms, towards the guest room.

The butler opened the door and handed them a temporary room card.

“Bunny… I’m so sleepy…” Song Yu whined in Rong Shi’s ear.

“Mm, we’ll be there soon.”

Closing the door, Rong Shi took him to the bedroom, and had 01 hijack all the electronic devices in the room to prevent any information leakage.

He placed the person on the bed, but as he stood up, his lapel was tugged.

Rong Shi patted his hand, “Let go first. I’ll help you take off your coat and shoes.”

A drunk person was completely unreasonable. Rong Shi didn’t expect him to cooperate, and it took him a lot of effort to take off his coat and shoes. Then he went to the bathroom to wring out a hot towel.

“Bunny…”

“I’m here.” Rong Shi gently wiped his face: “Don’t drink so much next time, hear me?”

After he spoke, the person on the bed completely ignored him.

Rong Shi stood up, but his hand was suddenly gripped and pulled with force. He was caught off guard and almost fell onto Song Yu.

They were so close that they could hear each other’s breathing, and feel the other’s warm breath on their faces.

Are his eyelashes really that long?

Rong Shi stared, somewhat lost in thought.

Song Yu, with his eyes closed, concealed his sharp edges, yet his features appeared even more refined and beautiful.

Rong Shi’s gaze swept from his eyes, past the tip of his nose, to his lips.

After a moment of silence, Rong Shi lowered his head and kissed Song Yu’s smooth forehead.

“Good night.”

Rong Shi didn’t dare to look further. He pulled the blanket over him, covered him, and then went to the bathroom to put away the towel.

As soon as he left, Song Yu on the bed opened his eyes.

His clear eyes showed no hint of drunkenness.

He gave him an opportunity, and he only kissed his forehead? Is he a child?!

Good.

Very good!

Song Yu was filled with anger. He gritted his teeth, rolled over, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

[All target Omegas have stayed overnight.]

Rong Shi took a shower and grabbed a towel to dry himself.

“Mm, report immediately if anything happens.”

[Should we report in real-time when something happens with you two?]

Rong Shi: “?”

Rong Shi: “What ‘something’ would happen with us?”

[…] Nothing.

The room was a suite with two standard rooms.

Rong Shi was worried that Song Yu would feel unwell after drinking so much, so he slept on the other bed.

He turned off the lights and lay on his side facing Song Yu. After reviewing the evening’s events, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Half-asleep, he vaguely heard a faint movement. He felt the covers being lifted, and a large cat reeking of alcohol snuggled into his arms—

Author’s Note:

Qin Luo: Let me tell you a joke: His Highness is dead drunk.

Song Cat: Guess what I want to do?

Rong Bunny: What?

Song Cat looked at Rong Bunny without speaking.

Rong Bunny: …Good, don’t think about things you shouldn’t.
