Yu Qianyan did not dwell too long on the frustration of being powerless to fight back, and once her mood settled, she began to pack up the things they needed to take from the suite.
The door to the inner room opened silently, and Yu Qianyan looked back instinctively, meeting Rong Shu’s calm gaze, the two of them exchanged a look.
Yu Qianyan did not ask whether Rong Shu had actually heard her conversation with Yu Qishan, or how much she had caught, and Rong Shu did not ask how Yu Qianyan intended to implement her guarantee, or when there might be results. They simply tacitly agreed not to bring it up again, trusting that the other had their own plans.
Yu Qianyan did not need Rong Shu’s help with anything, simply telling her to sit to the side, rest, and wait. Fearing Rong Shu might be hungry, she also had the waiter at the front desk bring up some pastries and drinks.
It was the same Beta waiter from the previous night. After the door opened, Yu Qianyan felt an indescribable sense of awkwardness, and the smile on her face flashed and vanished as she took the items.
The waiter’s gaze fell behind Yu Qianyan, vaguely catching sight of Rong Shu leaning against the window, watching the birds in the sky. She was wearing the basic light blue pajamas provided by the hotel. Aside from the fabric being soft and comfortable, the style and cut were the most common kind. She wore no makeup, and her hair was messy and fluffy from just waking up. Her expression was dazed and leisurely, yet even so, she could not hide the moving charm in the corners of her eyes and brows.
It was hard to imagine that an Omega with such beauty would need to be forced to make her Alpha submit. While the waiter was inwardly stunned by Rong Shu’s beauty and fiery temper, she could not help but feel a sliver of admiration for this equally good-looking Alpha.
To be able to hold back in this situation, she was simply the Alpha with the most self-control the waiter had ever seen.
Wait, could this person not like Omegas? It was not unheard of for Alphas to have vastly different sexual orientations.
If so, did she like Betas or Alphas? If she liked Betas, she wondered if she herself might have a chance, she was not bad-looking herself.
Yu Qianyan only felt that the waiter’s expression was becoming increasingly strange. The occasional gaze sweeping over her body made people feel a sense of bone-chilling fear, so she quickly thought of a way to interrupt her train of thought, asking for the waiter’s account to transfer a generous tip.
The waiter looked at her suddenly increased balance with dilated pupils, wondering if this young, handsome, and elegant Alpha noble had actually taken a fancy to her. But she did not want to be a mistress.
“I have to trouble you to make one more trip, go to the makeup room in the wedding hall yesterday and bring back the few pieces of clothing we left there. Just say it’s what Miss Yu wants, we really don’t have suitable clothes to wear out right now. If the people from the makeup room aren’t there and the things have all been taken away, then please notify me, so I can have someone send two new ones.”
The gentle and distant words completely dispelled the waiter’s wild thoughts, but being looked at gently by Yu Qianyan’s clear eyes, the waiter’s heartbeat became even more intense.
She numbly agreed to the instruction and walked out with floating footsteps. Behind her, the soft whispers of Yu Qianyan calling Rong Shu to eat echoed vaguely.
Until she had walked a long distance away, the waiter finally came to her senses, reached out to touch her still-hot cheeks, and spat at herself in shame.
No wonder that with Miss Rong’s earth-shattering beauty, one had to decisively half-coax and half-force her to make a move to feel at ease. Who would not like an Alpha like Miss Yu, who had such a noble status, was gentle and approachable, and had such a good sense of boundaries.
The two were indeed a natural match, no one could be more compatible than them.
The waiter was quite embarrassed by her previous foolish thoughts and quickened her pace to fetch the clothes.
—
Upon returning to the Yu household, before she could even catch her breath, Yu Qianyan discovered that the butler had enthusiastically cleared out a massive double room, put all of her and Rong Shu’s things in it, and stated with old-hearted satisfaction that this was something Yu Qishan had booked for the two of them long ago, ensuring the space was spacious, facilities complete, equipment sufficient, location quiet, and soundproofing top-notch, perfectly suitable for all the needs of newlywed AOs.
“If there is anything you are not satisfied with, Miss, tell me immediately, and I will go buy it,” the butler looked at Yu Qianyan and Rong Shu lovingly, his eyes full of a desire to take care of the third generation of the Yu family.
Yu Qianyan was completely stunned, her mouth opened blankly, but she could not spit out a single word, her brow was practically twisted into a knot.
Rong Shu, watching from the side, almost laughed out loud, and only managed to suppress the laughter after biting her lips hard, staring at the ceiling and blinking frantically, trying to think of something serious and proper to divert her attention.
After a long while, Yu Qianyan found her train of thought and thanked the butler with a complex expression, “You have been very thoughtful.”
The butler smiled with satisfaction, eagerly opened the door for the two to put their things away, and then exited the room with a similarly satisfied smile, winked at Yu Qianyan suggestively, and closed the door.
Before Yu Qianyan could catch her breath, she heard the butler’s stern reprimand of the passing attendants outside the door, “The two Misses are busy, do not come here unless necessary, so as not to disturb the masters’ good deeds. All disperse, the Misses will call if they need anything.”
Who wanted to do good deeds, Yu Qianyan’s face felt burning hot, and she stood frozen on the spot after hearing the chorus of agreement from the attendants, feeling completely at a loss.
Clearly, nothing had happened between her and Rong Shu yet, how did it sound as if the two had already marked each other back and forth several times.
No, wait, could she and Rong Shu be considered to have had nothing happen now.
Yu Qianyan’s throat rolled several times, she swallowed hard, her eyes flickering, and she suddenly felt a bit afraid to look at Rong Shu’s expression.
She would not be taking the opportunity to have her complete the permanent marking now, would she.
Rong Shu watched Yu Qianyan’s changing complexion with interest, and finally could not help but laugh out loud. Since it was just the two of them now, and the butler had taken the attendants away, there was no need for restraint, and she curled up on the sofa laughing until she shook.
This laughter came suddenly, instantly destroying the budding ambiguous atmosphere in the room, and along with it, sweeping away the little, unrecognized romantic notions that had just sprouted in Yu Qianyan’s heart.
The heat on Yu Qianyan’s face faded away, and she looked at Rong Shu with both relief and helplessness. The latter met Yu Qianyan’s gaze and laughed even louder.
Yu Qianyan was also led to smile unconsciously, letting Rong Shu rest in the room while she went to talk to Yu Qishan.
Rong Shu wiped away her tears of laughter while waving at Yu Qianyan, signaling that she could leave as she pleased, seemingly indifferent to whether they lived together or apart after marriage.
Yu Qianyan’s heart stirred slightly, and she looked at Rong Shu a few more times before heading out thoughtfully.
It was daytime, yet Yu Qishan was not in her private study, but in her own bedroom. The door was closed, and she was secretly taking out her late wife’s photo album, flipping through it while blinking hard to force back tears.
Yu Qianyan searched for several rounds before thinking to check the bedroom. Just as she raised her hand to knock, she heard Yu Qishan’s slightly choked voice from the room.
“Qianyan has grown up, she is married. Her partner is a very beautiful Omega, as beautiful as you, the family background is not great, and the family’s elders and siblings are not good people to rely on either, but fortunately, the child herself has good character, is obedient and smart, and the best part is that she can control Qianyan. Once she arrived, Qianyan matured quite a bit, and she has not done any of the previous absurd things for a long time. It is a pity you left early, and did not see that child, otherwise, you would definitely like her. Alas, Rong Shu is lucky, she was even able to undergo a secondary differentiation, her level is quite high now, I do not know how outstanding their children will be…”
Yu Qianyan was stunned, silently lowering her hand that was held in the air, listening quietly to Yu Qishan’s muttering at the door for a long time, her eyes lowered in thought.
Yu Qishan’s attitude toward the original body had always been strict. The original body, having grown crooked, had a quirky and rebellious personality. She both feared this majestic mother and was dissatisfied with the restrictions on her behavior, so mother and daughter rarely communicated, and naturally, she did not know of Yu Qishan’s silent care and concern.
As for childhood memories, when the late mother was still there and the family of three was happy and affectionate, they had long been forgotten by the original body. She only knew that as she grew older, after Yu Qishan returned to Capital Star from the front lines, she was always berating her for failing to meet expectations. She avoided her, so how could she have actively been frank and cleared up misunderstandings with Yu Qishan.
Yu Qianyan felt pity for this, and also felt that she should take on the responsibilities of a daughter that the original body should have borne. In addition, during this time of getting along with Yu Qishan, even if it could not be called harmonious, she could still feel the deep love the other party had for her that had never been spoken aloud. Hearing Yu Qishan’s expectations for grandchildren so suddenly, logically speaking, she should find a way to satisfy them.
She had always respected teachers and elders, and was a filial child known to everyone in the sect. Now, treating Yu Qishan naturally required the same dedication.
However, Yu Qishan’s wish was not only contrary to her own Dao heart, but might also cause no small impact on Rong Shu.
One must know that the greatest physiological characteristic of an Omega is their extraordinary reproductive ability.
Simply put, all Omegas can give birth to many more children than Betas, the birthing process is easier, the burden is smaller, and the children born often have the best genetic inheritance, with a high probability of giving birth to an advantageous gender.
But even so, reproduction is not without cost, whether it is physiological cost or energy cost, and even the cost of changing social identity cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, in this world, because of the surrounding enemies and endless wars, large-scale human casualties occur from time to time. Yet, the overall fertility of humans has significantly decreased compared to before, so the act of reproduction is regarded as very sacred. The Omega Personal Protection Act does not even have a comprehensive law banning abortion, and the control over contraceptive products is quite strict. Existing contraceptive products not only have poor effectiveness, slow iteration, and small quantities, but purchase qualifications are also strictly limited. It is impossible for young and healthy newlyweds like Yu Qianyan and Rong Shu to obtain qualifications for self-purchasing contraceptive products.
Rong Shu had just undergone secondary differentiation, and it had not been long since she became an adult. Plus, the military academy was about to start. If she was permanently marked and became pregnant at this time, what would happen to the life she had just begun to change.
Give up everything to be a good wife and mother? Or stick to herself, continue to walk the path of independence and self-improvement that Yu Qianyan hoped she would walk, and then be gossiped about by outsiders and family behind her back, suffering criticism, and adding unnecessary difficulties to the already difficult thorny path?
Besides, Yu Qianyan herself could not just give up her own Dao.
Offspring and romance, things she had not considered for even an instant in a hundred years, how could she break her Dao heart for someone else’s wish overnight?
Yu Qianyan stood at the door for as long as Yu Qishan was muttering.
It was not until the room was completely quiet, and another while passed, that Yu Qianyan raised her firm eyes and knocked on the door calmly, “Mother, are you there?”
A chaotic sound of rummaging through cabinets suddenly rang out in the room.
Yu Qianyan was very patient, waiting for the sound inside to stop before knocking again.
This time, without waiting for her to speak, Yu Qishan took the initiative to open the door, only her expression was not very good. She frowned and glared at Yu Qianyan fiercely, “What is the matter?”
Yu Qianyan looked steadily into Yu Qishan’s eyes, which were indeed red. After a moment of silence, she said, “Mother, I want to sleep in separate rooms from Rong Shu.”
Hearing this, Yu Qishan’s brow furrowed even deeper, a deep “chuan” shape wrinkling between her brows, “Come in and talk.”
After speaking, she turned into the room.
Just as Yu Qianyan stepped in with one foot, Yu Qishan sternly ordered, “Close the door!”
Yu Qianyan obediently closed the door.
Yu Qishan walked back and forth in the room irritably, taking long strides, and in the square territory of the bedroom, she walked with the imposing momentum of a battlefield front line.
When Yu Qianyan walked up, Yu Qishan stopped her pace and spoke sternly, “You were the one who acted on impulse and was reckless after drinking, it was you who wanted the engagement banquet and wedding to be filled with variety, and it was you who planned for her future everywhere from practicing sword to reading military academy! You were so deeply in love, yet now that you are married, you want to sleep in separate rooms from Rong Shu! Where has Rong Shu let you down? She is beautiful, smart, and has a high level, what else are you dissatisfied with? It has only been two months, and you cannot be that quick to love the new and loathe the old, right? In our Yu family, not to mention everyone being a romantic, but we have not produced many heartless people. Yu Qianyan, do not say I did not give you a chance, before I beat you to death, you better give me a reasonable explanation immediately!”
Yu Qianyan was not surprised that Yu Qishan would protect Rong Shu. It could be said that since Rong Shu moved to the Yu house, everyone in the family loved her.
She was not frightened by Yu Qishan’s fierce look at this moment either. She calmly brought up the reason that Rong Shu still had to study and could not get pregnant.
Yu Qishan listened with a sour face. After listening, she frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing, only nodded to indicate that she knew.
Yu Qianyan had prepared herself to be questioned and refuted one by one, but she did not expect Yu Qishan to agree so easily, and she was stunned.
Seeing this, Yu Qishan snorted coldly and glared at her sideways, “You really think I am some old antique? What you said makes sense. You are both still young, so you are not in a hurry to have children anyway, and those contraceptive methods are either harmful to the body or their effectiveness cannot be fully guaranteed. Since you can hold back, then as you wish. Have the butler arrange your room back in a while.”
Yu Qianyan was moved, and just as she was about to thank Yu Qishan, she was interrupted by a “stop” gesture from Yu Qishan, who then brought up a few things about going to the military academy afterward.
Yu Qianyan immediately straightened her attitude and listened carefully.
Yu Qianyan’s matter of going to Kirin Military Academy was naturally easy to handle, and her choice of major had long been discussed with Yu Qishan, deciding on All-Out Command. She had already received the acceptance letter and all student credentials.
The difficulty lay with Rong Shu.
For Rong Shu to attend school, her gender must be concealed, and her identity information must naturally be updated accordingly.
However, forging an identity was not that troublesome relatively speaking. With Yu Qishan’s power, it had already been done, just waiting for the new ID card to arrive to transfer the student status information. Before that, the major Rong Shu wanted had to be selected, which required Yu Qianyan to go back and discuss it with Rong Shu herself.
Yu Qishan, an Alpha who came from a military background, did not know which majors were suitable for Omegas, and since she was not Rong Shu’s biological mother, naturally it was not easy for her to interfere.
As for the method of disguising gender, it was not difficult, just troublesome. It required taking a type of hormonal drug at a fixed time and quantity every day to suppress the production of pheromones. Not a single day could be messed up. If it were off by a few hours, the hormone levels in the body would rapidly lose balance, entering a state of deep estrus in a very short time, a kind where even inhibitors were useless and only Alpha marking could solve it.
If she wanted to disguise herself more realistically, she could also inject a drug to cause the glands to atrophy for a short time, making her look more like a Beta, but this drug had a probability of causing permanent glandular damage. Yu Qishan did not mention this, only saying that if Rong Shu could cut her hair shorter and cover her neck, the disguise effect would be even better.
The most difficult problem lay in her appearance.
Rong Shu rarely went out in the past, and almost never posted social information on the Star Network. Very little appearance information such as photos, videos, or projections was exposed, and all relevant information from the engagement and wedding had been handled properly. Students from ordinary backgrounds at the military academy should not be able to recognize her.
But there were many people in the noble circles who knew what Rong Shu looked like, including many of the younger generation who were also studying at the military academy, so there was no guarantee that someone would discover Rong Shu’s true identity and expose it.
If she were really discovered, and the commotion became big, it might lead to Yu Qianyan and Rong Shu both being expelled, and even Yu Qishan would be implicated. Therefore, it was best for Rong Shu to cover up her appearance as well.
Plastic surgery was naturally out of the question, and makeup was neither safe nor natural. According to Yu Qishan’s idea, it would be best for Rong Shu to eat until she was fat, gaining twenty or thirty catties, and then change to a more different style and hairstyle, which would make it hard to recognize her.
Yu Qianyan felt that Rong Shu probably would not agree to this proposal, so she only said she would go back and discuss it with Rong Shu.
Yu Qishan did not express an opinion, handed the prepared Kirin Military Academy major information to Yu Qianyan, let her take it back for Rong Shu to see, and instructed her that it would be best to determine Rong Shu’s major in these two days, after which she sent her away.
After Yu Qianyan walked away excitedly with the materials, Yu Qishan stood in the room alone for a long while before smiling with satisfaction and sighing with emotion.
—
Just as Yu Qianyan guessed, Rong Shu agreed to cut her short hair, but refused the proposal to eat until she was fat without hesitation.
Are you kidding, she had not yet handled this stubborn Yu Qianyan, how could she destroy her own Great Wall and lose her biggest advantage of appearance?
But Yu Qishan was not wrong, it was difficult to maintain a disguise just by makeup and dressing up.
Rong Shu thought for a while and asked Yu Qianyan if she would have any bone changes. The latter thought about the effect of the medicinal bath formula to wash away the marrow, and indicated that she would grow a little taller, but she would not grow much more than before, at most another three or four centimeters.
Rong Shu was relieved, made a list of disguise tools she needed to buy for school, did not continue to discuss this topic, and began to study the military academy’s major materials.
After confirming that “Yu Qianyan” had changed cores, Rong Shu had considered whether she should still major in the same subject as Zhu Lanjun.
The target of hatred was gone, the purpose of seducing the other party was completely different, and it was hard to say whether Yu Qianyan would still like the type of Omega like Zhu Lanjun, so was it necessary to proceed according to the original plan?
But after comparing all the majors at the military academy, except for economics and business, nothing interested her very much.
On the contrary, Zhu Lanjun’s biotechnology major had several research directions that were quite interesting.
Rong Shu did not know how her talent in scientific research was, but at least from the current research directions, projects such as “Feasibility Study on Alpha Being Reverse-Marked and Pregnancy” and “Study on Omega Estrus Self-Control Methods” made her look a few more times.
After deliberation, Rong Shu finally decided on biotechnology.
Interest in the project was one aspect, but the other reason was Rong Shu’s competitiveness.
In her past life, Zhu Lanjun fascinated “Yu Qianyan” to death, although this was “Yu Qianyan” herself being lowly and crazy, and it was not Zhu Lanjun’s fault that Rong Shu was ground down, but in the end, it made Rong Shu keep this fairy-like character who was like a white moonlight in her heart.
And Zhu Lanjun was very talented in biotechnology, switching to the entertainment industry halfway, which was not to say that such a choice was good or bad, it was just that Rong Shu could not help but wonder, if she were Zhu Lanjun, how would she choose? If she had the same talent and conditions as Zhu Lanjun, could she go further, and could she therefore gain more love from “Yu Qianyan”?
Such thoughts were just a distant idea in her past life, but now there was a real possibility of realization, which made Rong Shu find it hard to give up this opportunity to try.
Even if Yu Qianyan was not that scum, Rong Shu also wanted to compare with Zhu Lanjun once.
The most critical point was that Rong Shu and Yu Qianyan had confirmed that there were opportunities to change majors at the military academy, so she could just go and try and make mistakes.
In the time that followed, Rong Shu quite actively dragged Yu Qianyan to practice sword and take medicinal baths, diligent to no end, and serious to no end, and the days passed in a fulfilling and peaceful manner.
At first, she was worried about whether Rong Shu would revert to her old ways and find opportunities to force her into the bridal chamber, and had been on pins and needles for a long time. But who knew that Rong Shu was like she had forgotten about what happened on the wedding day, never again seizing the opportunity to do anything, and even because her level had become higher and her physical quality had become much better, her pressure resistance was much higher, and she was never as tired as she was before marriage,昏昏沉沉 to the point where she would pass out before finishing the medicinal bath.
The current Rong Shu practiced sword, previewed lessons, and finished the medicinal bath, could still follow Yu Qianyan to be active for an hour to stimulate the medicinal effect, then full of energy she returned to her room herself, and the next day she was resurrected full of blood, rising and repeating this process.
As time went by, Yu Qianyan was completely relieved, only thinking that Rong Shu had shifted her focus to self-improvement. After an almost imperceptible disappointment, there was relaxation and relief.
She no longer had to guard against Rong Shu’s sudden attacks, and the interaction between the two was actually closer and more natural.
Rong Shu also felt the change in Yu Qianyan’s attitude, but pretended not to know, cooperating with Yu Qianyan’s delusions by acting as if she did not care about the other party at all, only occasionally creating some excessively intimate physical contact when Yu Qianyan was guiding her in sword practice, and then pulling away and retreating just before the other party fully reacted, leaving a bit of aftertaste for Yu Qianyan to reminisce about from time to time.
Yu Qianyan was her person, of course, she did not mind playing the “boiling frog” routine with her, this was a bit of fun.
Such pleasant times lasted until the military academy started, after the two moved into their respective dormitories.
Rong Shu became a Beta, while Yu Qianyan was an Alpha, so they could not be assigned to the same dormitory. Therefore, Yu Qishan greeted the school in advance and arranged for Rong Shu and Yu Qianyan’s dormitories to be across from each other.
Rong Shu did not agree to let Yu Qianyan help her clean up the dormitory, and she moved in carrying her bag herself. The only roommate had not come yet, so Rong Shu chose a bed first and began to clean up.
Yu Qianyan stood at the door and watched her for a while, and after confirming that she did not need her help, she shrugged her shoulders and returned to her dormitory.
Not long after, a girl appeared at the door of Rong Shu’s dormitory carrying luggage, looking curiously at Rong Shu’s busy figure, and opened her mouth to greet her, “Hello, roommate.”
The tone of this girl’s speech had a kind of ethereal and pure feeling, the speaking speed was very slow, it sounded a bit naturally dull, but it did not seem stupid or clumsy, it was very special.
Rong Shu turned her head to look back curiously, and then froze in place.
“Hello there.” Zhu Lanjun.
