Chapter 226: The Commander Who's All About Simplicity Adores Him (9)

Pei Jingnian stared intently at the corner of Song Chuyi's eyes, tinged with red.

It didn’t seem like he had cried, but he appeared even more delicate and vulnerable than if he had.

Like a fragile lily sheltered in a research center, with the slightest touch, it would ooze moisture.

The dominance instinct inherent in the Alpha genes surged to its peak at this moment.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke in a softer tone, "It’s good that you didn’t cry."

"I’m already on my way back to Central Star."

"I’ll arrive in two days."

Song Chuyi was somewhat surprised, "So soon?"

"Yes," Pei Jingnian replied, "This Zerg assault wasn’t particularly intense."

Song Chuyi nodded thoughtfully. It seemed the overarching plotline hadn’t changed much.

At this time, although Zerg attacks were frequent, the Zerg Queen had not yet awakened, so large-scale offensives were unlikely.

This attack was just a reconnaissance mission.

Thinking of this, Song Chuyi shifted his sitting position.

Propping his face with one hand, his gaze seemed to latch onto Pei Jingnian.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you to come back."

Perhaps he had been spoiled rotten by Hu Jiutian in the last world,

Or maybe it was just the Omega physique in this world being naturally soft and delicate, but he felt incredibly weak now.

And he had grown much lazier.

Fortunately, his psychic energy was strong.

During Pei Jingnian’s absence, his soul had fully merged with this body.

His psychic energy had also risen from S to SSS, though he hadn’t gone for another test, so the mainframe still listed him as S level.

Maybe he could get tested again when Pei Jingnian returned.

Song Chuyi was lost in thought and didn’t speak for a while.

Pei Jingnian on the holographic display didn’t disturb his reverie, as if simply watching him could bring a moment of peace.

Finally, Rong Jing had something to report, and Pei Jingnian ended the call.

"What is it?"

Rong Jing quickly reported, "The Zerg have retreated to their domain, but traces of their activity have been detected on planet xr-233."

Pei Jingnian tapped lightly on his neural interface, "I’ve already discussed it with the leader of the Second Legion."

"Is there anything else?"

Rong Jing coughed lightly, "Bro Pei, were you just video calling Song Chuyi?"

Pei Jingnian glanced at him coldly, "What did you see?"

"Song Chuyi!" Rong Jing replied bluntly, "Didn't you two get married?"

"Is your wife anxiously waiting for you at home?"

Pei Jingnian frowned. Although he hadn't deliberately hidden his marriage to Song Chuyi, he hadn't publicized it either.

Unless someone had investigated, they wouldn't know that they had applied to the central system to get married.

Thinking of this, Pei Jingnian's eyes turned cold, "You investigated me?"

Rong Jing quickly waved his hands, "I wouldn't dare to investigate you!"

"Isn't it because your marriage to Song Chuyi hit the top of the star network headlines?"

Rong Jing pulled up the star network headlines, showing Pei Jingnian for himself.

Pei Jingnian glanced at it, and sure enough, the top headline was about his marriage to Song Chuyi.

The comments under the post were varied.

"One with a plain water scent, the other with a mutated coffee scent, well, well, brewing coffee here?"

"Wah, my commander actually has an Omega! And it's a coffee-scented Omega. If I had known, I would have tried with my bitter melon scent."

"I don't understand why you Omegas act like this. Wasn't it you who looked down on Commander Pei before? So annoying."

"If Commander Pei is married, does that mean his heat period can be alleviated? So envious, when will I have my own Omega?"

"From this perspective, we Betas are better off. Although we can't pilot mechs, doing logistics isn't bad either."

"No wonder Commander Pei helped the Second Legion repel the Zerg so quickly this time. Turns out he has an Omega."

"Doesn't this Omega seem familiar to everyone?"

"Isn't this the Omega involved in that incident where the commander was accused of harming an Omega?"

"That's right, it's him! But wasn't it revealed that he injured his own gland? Wait, if his gland was destroyed, how does he still have pheromones?"

"Apparently, he has a dual gland system. No wonder Song Chuyi dared to destroy his gland, he still has another one."

"So cunning?"

…………

The tone of the comments gradually shifted, with some even starting to theorize conspiracies.

Pei Jingnian quickly scanned through them, "How did they know?"

"Here, because of this." Rong Jing pulled up a comment.

A user with the title "Chuyi" had commented: "He's already married."

Just this one sentence had led netizens to dig deeper.

Since Pei Jingnian hadn't deliberately hidden the matter, the resourceful netizens naturally uncovered his marriage to Song Chuyi.

Rong Jing observed Pei Jingnian's expression and asked in a low voice, "Do we need to manage the public narrative?"

Pei Jingnian's gaze fell on the comment made by Song Chuyi, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, feeling content.

"He's really into me."

He lightly tapped the comment with his fingertip.

"He couldn't wait to claim his dominance over me."

Rong Jing: ...

His mouth twitched sharply, wondering how Pei Jingnian, who was usually so insightful on the battlefield, could not suspect anything about this matter at all.

From the moment that Omega self-destructed his gland, everything that followed seemed a bit strange.

"Bro Pei," Rong Jing lowered his voice, "Don't you think there's something off about this?"

Pei Jingnian's eyes darkened, "You suspect him?"

"He didn't know he had a second gland before he destroyed it."

"He just likes me, what's wrong with that?"

Rong Jing: ...

He was overstepping.

"Bro Pei, has Song Chuyi ever soothed you?" Rong Jing simply changed the topic.

"It would be good if he could."

Pei Jingnian's expression was indifferent, "Ke Xi said his gland is underdeveloped and can't be marked."

"Not even a temporary mark."

Marking is one way to provide comfort, allowing the pheromones of both to merge, which can alleviate the sensitive period.

But currently, Song Chuyi's condition isn't suitable for marking, much less comforting.

Hearing this, Rong Jing frowned.

"What about your sensitive period, Bro Pei?"

"Inhibitors are no longer effective for you."

Pei Jingnian lowered his eyes, "Endure."

Rong Jing took a deep breath, "If you keep enduring like this, one day you'll..."

"Rong Jing," Pei Jingnian interrupted him.

"I don't want to become a slave to pheromones."

"If one day I mark A'Chu, it will definitely not be because of the sensitive period."

"But because..."

He likes him.

Like in a novel, where intense emotions overwhelm reason, making one lose their mind and become a prisoner of 'love.'
