Chapter 16 Luo Ke

Chapter 16 Luo Ke

Luo Ke did not deny it, or rather, he did not know how to deny it.

This might sound absurd, after all, he had only met Ji Jing once.

He had previously learned that Ji Jing was an Omega with a partner, and Luo Ke knew he shouldn't entertain any inappropriate thoughts.

But at the party a couple of days ago, he accidentally discovered that Ji Jing's Alpha had cheated on him.

At that moment, he clearly smelled Ed's pheromones lingering on Carol.

So Luo Ke had a new idea: perhaps he could tell Ji Jing about this. Then, after Ji Jing divorced Ed Griss, he would have a chance.

This thought was despicable, and if spoken aloud, no one would believe it was his true intention.

As an Imperial Admiral, he was actually coveting the Omega of one of his subordinates.

But once such crazy thoughts took root, they grew like bamboo shoots after rain.

The more Luo Ke tried to suppress them, the worse it became.

Perhaps due to the influence of these thoughts, his rarely occurring heat period came without warning.

An Alpha's heat period is harder to endure the higher their rank. For a 3S-level Alpha, each heat period is almost a disaster.

So when the military personnel noticed Luo Ke's condition, they immediately granted him a week's leave, forcing him to rest at home to safely get through the heat period.

Luo Ke had injected himself with the maximum dose of soothing agent this morning, but he still felt uncomfortable.

His usually sharp mind was somewhat sluggish, and for some reason, his thoughts were filled with images of Ji Jing.

Thus, after tracking Ji Jing's whereabouts, he impulsively followed him to the amusement park.

Initially, he did not plan to approach Ji Jing; he just wanted to watch him quietly.

Although his body was still hot and uncomfortable, seeing Ji Jing alleviated much of it.

But at the same time, a new thought emerged in his mind—he wanted to take Ji Jing back to build a nest.

He wanted to lock Ji Jing in a dark little room, where only the two of them would be, undisturbed by anyone else. He wanted Ji Jing to be covered in his own pheromones, lingering forever...

Realizing this thought, Luo Ke felt a bit panicked.

Because his danger level was too high; every Omega who had tried to approach him before had ended up in accidents. He couldn't let the same happen to Ji Jing.

He should leave immediately and never appear in front of Ji Jing again.

But the Admiral during his heat period was not as decisive and firm as usual, even a bit fragile and sensitive.

He was somewhat addicted to Ji Jing's presence, even if he did nothing but watch.

Then, he encountered the current situation.

When Ji Jing pointed out that he was following him, Luo Ke instinctively wanted to flee, but before he could turn around, Ji Jing grabbed his wrist.

Immediately afterward, Ji Jing stuffed the remaining ice cream cone into his mouth, tossed the mecha model to the crying little Alpha, and then placed both of his free hands on Luo Ke's face.

Luo Ke felt his entire body stiffen.

But Ji Jing studied him as if he were a rare curiosity, pinching his nose, touching his face, pulling his hair, and even using his fingernails to scratch the skin at his temples and jawline, trying to peel off a layer of a facial mask.

Luo Ke: "..."

Luo Ke grabbed those mischievous hands and said, "Stop scratching. This is my real face. The one you saw last time was a disguise."

"How did you disguise it? I didn't notice anything at the time," Ji Jing asked curiously, tilting his head.

It was also at this moment that Ji Jing realized that the Alpha in front of him was really tall, almost a head taller than himself.

Ji Jing himself was 1.78 meters tall. According to his height, the Alpha in front of him must be at least 1.95 meters tall.

"Biological mimicry camouflage."

Luo Ke explained, "It's a high-tech disguise technique, but it's not allowed to be sold publicly."

In other words, it's impossible to buy.

Because this disguise technology is so advanced, it can fool over 95% of AI recognition systems. To prevent it from being used as a criminal tool, only a few people within their organization are allowed to possess it.

There are fewer than ten biological mimicry disguises in the entire Empire.

Hearing this, Ji Jing became very interested. It seemed much better than the disguises he usually used in the underground city.

"Can I borrow it to play with?" Ji Jing asked, his eyes sparkling.

Luo Ke: "..."

If he lent it out, it would likely be a one-way loan.

Though they had only met twice, Luo Ke felt he already understood Ji Jing quite well.

But he couldn't understand why Ji Jing would tolerate Ed Griss's infidelity and not divorce him.

Thinking of Ed, Luo Ke's heart started to feel sour, and he even considered punishing Ed Griss with military discipline.

Seeing Luo Ke's expression change, Ji Jing pinched his handsome face again and said, "If you don't want to lend it, fine. Why the long face? By the way, what's your name?"

Their relationship seemed familiar, but Ji Jing indeed did not know his name.

"Luo Ke Tang En, you can call me Luo Ke."

Hearing this, Ji Jing was surprised to feel the other soul within his body suddenly tremble, seemingly very nervous and afraid.

But Ji Jing did not show any signs of it; he just smiled and nodded. "Alright, Luo Ke. My name is Ji Jing."

Luo Ke said, "I know."

Ji Jing smiled. "Makes sense. Since you were able to track me, you must have already investigated me beforehand."

A hint of tension appeared on Luo Ke's face. "…I didn’t mean to."

Ji Jing laughed. "It’s alright. It’s getting late. Want to grab something to eat together?"

Luo Ke’s eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded eagerly. "Sure, I’ll treat you!"

With a smile, Ji Jing followed Luo Ke into his flying car. The latter took him directly to a three-star Michelin restaurant in the city center where the average meal cost twenty thousand star coins.

Thinking back to that morning when, due to running out of money, he had messaged Ed for living expenses, only to receive a miserly transfer of three thousand star coins from him, with the comment that it was supposed to last him a month and he should spend it wisely.

Ji Jing suddenly found the Alpha before him much more agreeable.

When ordering, Luo Ke handed the menu to Ji Jing, telling him to order whatever he liked.

Ji Jing tentatively ordered a few expensive dishes, but Luo Ke did not even blink.

During the meal, because Luo Ke was wearing a bite inhibitor, eating was not convenient, so he could only take small bites slowly.

Seeing his discomfort, Ji Jing couldn’t help but ask with a smile, "So, are you wearing this because you’re really in heat?"

Luo Ke nodded, somewhat embarrassed.

Under normal circumstances, even if he felt embarrassed, he wouldn’t show it. But at this moment, the sensitive Alpha admitted his vulnerability in front of the Omega who made his heart flutter.

Ji Jing tilted his head curiously. "So, you came to track me down while in heat. Were you planning to pounce on me or court me?"

"Ahem~ Ahem~ Ahem~ Ahem~ Ahem~"

Poor General Tang En, who had survived countless battles, nearly choked to death on a sip of soup right there.
