Chapter 232: The Commander Who Loves the Taste of Plain Water (16)

Pei Jingnian closed the dialog box with Ke Xi and glanced sideways at the little Omega sprawled on the sofa.

The little Omega's face was still slightly flushed because of his sensitive period. Even with his eyes closed, Pei Jingnian could almost picture those starry eyes.

And in those eyes, there would only be his reflection.

How could he stand to let this little Omega, who was so crazy about him, keep going through tests?

No matter what the little Omega was like, he... wanted to protect him.

Pei Jingnian didn't care about the little Omega's underdeveloped gland. Even if he could never mark him in this lifetime, it didn't matter.

As long as he was by his side, that was enough.

Pei Jingnian turned off his light brain and walked over quietly.

He adjusted the blanket draped over him, pulling it up a bit.

Song Chuyi felt a bit of warmth and opened his eyes to look at him.

"What's wrong?"

A strand of hair stuck up on his forehead, making him look adorably silly.

Pei Jingnian smiled and explained, "I didn't want you to catch a chill."

Song Chuyi lazily yawned, "Is your sensitive period over?"

At his question, Pei Jingnian suddenly realized that this time, his sensitive period hadn't been uncomfortable at all.

He had even managed to get a lot of work done.

He paused to consider it, then nodded, "It's over."

He knelt down slightly, his deep eyes glimmering faintly.

"Thank you, A'Chu."

Song Chuyi made a soft sound of surprise, "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thanks to you, my sensitive period was under control this time."

A smile played on his lips, "Your coffee-scented pheromones are pretty amazing."

Bitter, but with a hint of sweetness.

Song Chuyi gave a soft hum, taking the compliment in stride.

"Mind if I tag along with you to the First Army tomorrow?"

He made his request, "Just in case my sensitive period flares up again..."

"Alright," Pei Jingnian agreed, "I'll take you with me."

Song Chuyi was satisfied.

True to his word, Pei Jingnian took Song Chuyi to the First Army the next day.

Pei Jingnian took him to the office and then left because he had to attend a legion meeting.

However, before leaving, he instructed his adjutant to guard the door.

If Song Chuyi had any requests, they must be fulfilled.

After arranging everything, Pei Jingnian hurried off to the meeting.

Song Chuyi wandered around his office.

Pei Jingnian's office was quite monotonous, with nothing but a desk and chairs, not even a sofa.

Feeling bored, he picked up his light brain and started writing.

His novel was doing well at the moment, currently ranking first on the bestseller list.

Of course, this was related to his daily updates of fifty thousand words!

His update count was unmatched across the entire novel platform!

Song Chuyi enthusiastically began writing.

Yesterday, he wrote about the protagonist and supporting character reconciling, followed by an invasion by the Zerg.

The protagonist fought valiantly at the front while the supporting character provided support from the rear, their teamwork leading to victory.

But at this critical moment, the supporting character's "sensitive period" struck.

At that time, the protagonist was still clearing the battlefield, unaware of the supporting character's situation.

Time and space seemed to blur, and readers, with their god's-eye view, grew anxious.

Song Chuyi played on this tension, and to keep everyone subscribed, he ended today's chapter at a particularly suspenseful point.

The supporting character, disoriented due to the "sensitive period," vaguely saw a man running towards him.

"The man looked very much like him in his youth, but he had always been aloof and abstinent.

He had never seen such a panicked expression on his face before, so it probably wasn't him."

After writing the last sentence, Song Chuyi uploaded it with satisfaction and then signed out.

As for the readers' anxiety and restlessness, well... that was exactly what he wanted.

Song Chuyi stretched and dragged Xiaotong to watch a TV drama.

On the other hand, Pei Jingnian was somewhat distracted during the meeting.

His device vibrated, reminding him that a book he had bookmarked had been updated.

Since discovering Song Chuyi's novel, he had only followed updates for that one book.

Hearing the notification, he couldn't help but take a look.

Pei Jingnian read very quickly, finishing in just a few minutes.

When he read the last sentence, Pei Jingnian felt a sharp pang in his chest.

He could imagine Song Chuyi's anticipation and admiration when seeing him deliver a speech from the elevated stage at school.

His outward image is aloof, reserved, and even indifferent.

As a commander, he must maintain absolute calmness and not show any emotions.

But now, he wants to rush back to his office, kneel before his Omega, kiss his fingertips, and tell him that he makes him flustered.

Those masks of aloofness and restraint are for others to see.

In front of him, all his emotions come to the surface.

"Commander Pei Jingnian."

The leader of the Second Legion suddenly spoke.

"What’s your take on the new Zerg species that’s emerged?"

Pei Jingnian snapped back to attention, his eyes flickering.

"I’ll see for myself."

Others: ???

Pei Jingnian pursed his lips, his voice cold.

"The emergence of a new Zerg species indicates that the Zerg are evolving continuously. It's highly possible that more than just this new type has emerged."

The First Commander’s analysis echoed through the meeting room.

Everyone listened attentively, their expressions gradually turning serious.

After the meeting, Pei Jingnian was the first to step out.

The leader of the Second Legion quickly caught up, "Pei Jingnian, you’re off your game today."

Others might not have noticed, but he saw it clearly.

Pei Jingnian was actually distracted during the meeting.

"Is it about the new Zerg species?"

Pei Jingnian didn't stop, even quickening his pace.

"No."

"My Omega is waiting for me in the office. I need to go back and accompany him."

The leader of the Second Legion was shocked, "You brought an Omega to your legion?"

"Yes," Pei Jingnian replied indifferently.

The leader of the Second Legion lowered his voice, "Aren't you afraid he might steal the First Army's secrets?"

Pei Jingnian gave him a cold glance, "He won't."

The leader of the Second Legion was about to say something more when he heard Pei Jingnian say:

"He likes me a lot; he wouldn't steal secrets."

Leader: ...

"Huh?" he couldn't help but voice his confusion, "Liking me?"

Would those proud Omegas still like an Alpha?

Not to mention Pei Jingnian's pheromones are famously scentless, which makes it even less likely for any Omega to like him.

Pei Jingnian, as if not noticing his expression, said confidently, "Yes, he likes me a lot."

After saying that, he sped up and left the Second Legion commander completely baffled in just two seconds.

——

The office door was pushed open, and Pei Jingnian still exuded the dominance and calmness from leading the meeting.

Song Chuyi heard the voice, looked up at him, and smiled.

"You're back!"

He stretched and said, "There's nothing in your office. I'm so bored."

Fortunately, Xiaotong kept him company watching TV dramas; otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.

Pei Jingnian quickly walked up to Song Chuyi, wrapped his arms around him in a tight hug.

"A'Chu, I've missed you."

Song Chuyi was baffled:

Weren't you just in a meeting? What's with the sweet talk all of a sudden?
