Chapter 22
[Mission target Lu Yuntian, favorability +10.】
After hearing this sound, the system has become accustomed to it.
It hasn't issued a mission to the host yet, and their first meeting should be three months away.
The system thought with great admiration, every time the host's way of brushing up favorability is so...unusual, and it popped up without anyone noticing.
Simply amazing!
Of course Shen Yan didn't know about this.
The college attaches great importance to the closeness of the fraternity, and specially gave the Omega two days off to let them pick out suitable clothes and jewelry as soon as possible.
After all, such a grand ball only happens once a year.
System: "Host, here comes the chance to gain favorability!
In previous years' balls, He Ling would randomly select an Omega to dance with.Think about it, ambiguous lighting, elegant music, and physical touch, wow, it's so romantic."
Shen Yan didn't find it romantic, but focused on another matter, "Random? Then each person has a probability of less than 1 in 12,000."
After all, the Academy currently has more than twelve thousand Omega.
System: "...he will choose you."
Shen Yan raised his eyebrows: "The reason?"
He Ling's favorability towards him is only 10, they can be regarded as just friends at best.
Besides, isn't this random?
The system choked, afraid that the host would notice, and quickly covered up: "...Intuition, my intuition has always been accurate."
He can't tell the host that the other party's favorability has reached 35, and he already has a good impression of the host beyond friendship.
It then added: "Host, even if you can't be dance partners, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after all, He Ling usually doesn't appear in front of the public.
You must seize the opportunity, host!"
Shen Yan thought for a while: "That's right."
Speaking of which, he and He Ling hadn't met formally yet, so getting to know each other well this time would be a good way to gain some favorability.
Although he didn't have a good impression of this kind of dance, there was no rule that he couldn't quit in the middle of the dance, as long as he left early after seeing He Ling.
As for the clothes, Shen Yan looked at his wardrobe.
Ever since Shen Yi came back, he was particularly keen on buying clothes for his only younger brother.In less than a month, the closet was so full that it almost couldn't fit.
At that time, you can choose a formal one to attend the dance.
After making up his mind, the young man put this matter behind him and concentrated on researching the mecha transformation plan.
So much so that he ignored a very important question and only found out when the dance started.
Imperial First Military Academy, Principal's Office.
A man who looked to be in his forties was sitting behind the desk. His appearance was four or five points similar to He Ling's, but he was more resolute and restrained, with the mature temperament unique to the elderly.
He is the current principal of the Imperial First Military Academy——He Yongshu.
He Yongshu is a retired six-star general with outstanding military achievements and a genius in management.
He took over the First Military Academy ten years ago, and then vigorously carried out reforms, setting up various reward and punishment measures, and preferential admission policies to motivate military students.More than double.
Over the years, he has trained batch after batch of talents for the military department, and has a high prestige among the successive principals.
Although this man looks young, he is actually almost 70 years old.
Of course, at the age of 150 per capita in the empire, they are still in their prime, and they can be re-elected for 20 or 30 years.
At this time, sitting opposite him was He Ling in a white combat uniform.
His back is straight, the slim combat uniform outlines the perfect line of the back, the button is buttoned to the top as usual, the clothes are flat without a single wrinkle, and the hands in white gloves are placed flat on the legs, Every move reveals the self-discipline of a soldier, even if this is not a training state.
Alpha's dazzling silver hair hangs down his shoulders, and his cold white skin glows lustrously under the light.
His eyelashes are longer than many Omega's. Even when he sees his relatives, his blue eyes remain unmoved, and his tone is quite cold: "Uncle, what do you want from me?""
"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?" He Yongshu made a joke, seeing that his nephew didn't smile or feel embarrassed, as if he was used to it.
This nephew of his has always been like this since he was a child. He has a cold temper, like a handful of snow on a high mountain, which can be seen from a distance but not played with.
How many Omegas admired him and pursued him, many of them were excellent, but he was not moved by them at all.
At such an age where pheromones are restless, it really shouldn't be.
"He Ling, you must come to the fellowship with Xingya Academy this time."
Seeing the other party frowning, He Yongshu tapped the table with his fingers: "Just take it as a face for uncle. Think about it, how many Omega are going after you, how disappointed they would be if they couldn't see you in person?"
He went on to add: "Don't worry, this is the last time."
He Ling's tone didn't fluctuate, he just explained a fact: "You said the same thing last time."
"Really? Well... you'll be the one to start the first dance this time." He Yongshu was thick-skinned, skipped his words, and went to the next step, "Which Omega do you want to be your dance partner?"
"I won't go." Seeing the cigarette ash on the opponent's fingers, He Ling looked away uncomfortably, then stood up, "If there is nothing else, I'll go back to training first."
"Wait until I finish." The man smiled, crossed his hands on the table, and said meaningfully, "Besides you, Xingya Academy also recommended me an Omega named Shen Yan, who is very popular..Since you don't want to do the first dance, let him do it."
He Yongshu observed his movements while talking, and sure enough, he saw that Alpha stopped walking away.
"Are you sure he will come?" He Ling's voice was as cold as an ice spring, with a hint of doubt.
He didn't think Omega was the kind of person who would attend this kind of dance.
"Sure." He Yongshu replied, "The list has been submitted."
"So—are you going?"
He Ling was silent for a few seconds: "...um."
"Oh, didn't you just say no, why did you go back on your word so quickly?"
After finally catching his nephew's 'handle', He Yongshu was full of jokes, and couldn't help but want to tease him, "However, in previous years, the partners of the first dance were randomly selected. I don't know which Omega is so lucky to be able to draw a partner with him.You dance."
He Ling turned around, looked directly at the other party with blue eyes, and said in a firm tone: "...I know you can control it, otherwise you wouldn't have asked me just now.
And my answer, you already know it by now."
He Yongshu secretly slandered, 'This kid is so smart'.
But this is indeed the first time that He Ling has shown his heart to him, it is really rare, as an uncle, how could he not agree.
"I promise you, your dancing partner will definitely be Shen Yan, so it's okay?"
He Ling lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, just like the white snow on a high mountain melting in an instant, turning into spring water winding down, he is unparalleled in beauty.
He Yongshu was a little surprised, his eldest nephew, who had always been expressionless, actually smiled?
As the ball was approaching, the First Military Academy of the Empire kindly gave the military students a half-day off, allowing them to go back to dress up and enjoy the ballroom dance that only comes once a year.
There are many hovercars parked at the gate of the military academy, the most conspicuous of which is the R-S limited edition hovercar parked in mid-air. Its silver-gray shell, streamlined body, and well-designed shape all show its extraordinary.
The most unbelievable thing is that its material is very thin, which makes this model extremely lightweight, and its speed is twice as fast as that of Model X; but its safety is at the S-level national defense level, which cannot be achieved even with the most advanced mech weapons.Destroy it in the slightest.
This super limited edition model of R-S, there are only three in the whole empire.
Many people around the suspension car were taking pictures, amazed by its beautiful appearance and super performance, and they were talking about who this car belongs to.
After all, the R-S limited edition is not something you can buy with money. It was secretly ordered by the boss before it was released. Only the holographic three-dimensional image of Xingwang is available for public reference.
"Maybe it's Chang Hao's. He always drives a limited-edition car to school. At least four or five of them have been changed."
"Probably not. There are only three of this car in the entire interstellar world, and Chang's may not meet this standard."
"Maybe it's the Song family, their family ranking is also very high."
…
Some people have also speculated about He Ling's mother's original family name.
But since He Ling entered the First Military Academy, he has never rested.
He is always training, and he doesn't go home even on holidays. On the contrary, he can often be seen on the training ground, so he was dubbed the title of "training madman".
A genius whose mental power is close to 2S, but still works so hard, this number one is worthy of the name, enough to become the target of worship by most people.
So the alphas quickly ruled out this option.
Therefore, when He Ling, who was wearing a white combat uniform, boarded the suspension vehicle, many people hadn't recovered yet.
Hey, it's really him?
Doesn't he never come home?!
He Ling returned to the villa in the core area, the house was empty as usual.
There is a mech training field with the most advanced equipment, and there are various scenery that other aristocratic families cannot see, but unfortunately few people watch it.
Although his mother, Yuan Qiu, is an Omega, she is one of the people in charge of the Yuan family's huge property, and she is busy with business on weekdays; while his father, who is a marshal, is in the military all year round, and the two come back very rarely.In such a huge villa, only the butler is present.
"Master, you are back. The room has been tidied up, do you want to stay tonight?
"No, I'll take some clothes."
He Ling usually wears the combat uniforms of the military academy, and there are five sets, which are very convenient to change and wash.In addition, they are also common uniforms, which are not suitable for dancing.
"Good young master, you can bring some more. Every season, the brand merchants send clothes over, but it's a pity that you have not been here."
The butler pressed the switch, and the foldable wardrobes were opened from the wall one by one and lined up in a row. Hundreds of sets of clothes were classified according to color, style, and brand. They were all luxurious and shiny, and they were all the latest styles of the season, and they were ironed neatly without any wrinkles..
The other wall is accessories, ties of different textures, waist buttons, cufflinks, retro watches, etc., and even different styles of optical computers to match different outfits.
He Ling glanced and frowned slightly.
"Master, let me choose a few sets for you." After being surprised, the butler gave him a timely suggestion.
It's hard to imagine that the young master would 'waste time' trying on clothes here, it's simply too unexpected.
But the young master has such a good figure, he looks good in anything.
The butler looked at the young man with broad shoulders, long legs and outstanding temperament in the dressing mirror, and was very satisfied.
With such an outstanding appearance, coupled with suitable clothing, the young master will definitely kill the audience and win the love of his favorite Omega.
It's just that I don't know which Omega is so attractive, and can make the young master of Gaoling Flower change his mind and try a different self.
"Uncle Xu, help me find a jewelry designer."
He Ling seemed to have thought of something, his cold demeanor became more isolated, and the corners of his lips curled into a straight line.
"You want to—" The butler was slightly surprised, the young master didn't look like someone who wore jewelry.
"Design a neck ring, the simplest form."
"Okay." The butler thought, it seems that the young master finally has an Omega he likes.
The day of the dance party.
In the luxurious banquet hall, all the Omegas were dressed up exquisitely, wearing gorgeous high-end dresses and all kinds of dazzling jewelry accessories. They were brand new from head to toe, and even their hair was well taken care of. The whole scene was amazing.Compared with a high-end brand clothing conference.
Ran Xinyu still chose her favorite red dress.
The slim mermaid skirt outlined her beautiful figure, and the half-backless design set off her fair skin and slender waistline.Starting from the waist, the hem of the skirt gradually changes from red to soft light blue. Under the light, it flows slowly like sea water, reflecting sparkling waves, just like a mermaid princess just out of the sea.
The whole dress is full of sense of design, and it amazes the audience as soon as it appears.
Many Omegas were overshadowed in front of her, and they all cast envious and jealous eyes on them, while standing a little far away from her, so as not to be regarded as a control group.
Ran Xinyu didn't look at them, and didn't pay attention to Alpha who came to strike up a conversation. Instead, he looked for Shen Yan's figure in the crowd, and his eyebrows were unconsciously stained with anxiety.
The banquet is about to start, why hasn't the other party come?
When she was about to send a message to Shen Yan, the young man finally appeared in her vision.
Ran Xinyu heard the sound of breathing in and out of her surroundings, and she herself seemed to be not much different from them, so she just stood there in a daze, and was attracted by him all the time.
Omega was wearing a more formal casual suit than usual, and the brown-black coat looked noble and restrained, with a kind of British elegance.
Inside the jacket is a pure white shirt, with a little lace decoration on the cuffs and neckline, but it doesn't look feminine, but complements the temperament.Perhaps because of the design, there are no buttons above the neckline, and the shirt is slightly open. You can see the fair skin and a small section of delicate collarbone. With the silver neck ring, the allure is doubled.
The hem of the shirt was tucked into the black belt at the waist, just covered by the coat, revealing the gathered waistline with the movement.
A pair of long legs are wrapped in slightly loose suit pants, and underneath are short boots, which visually straighten the line of the legs, making the legs look unnaturally long.
Such an Omega is like an ancient European aristocrat who came out of the Middle Ages. Those beautiful purple eyes are even more soul-stirring, and every move deduces the elegance and mystery of a gentleman.
Shen Yan's beauty today has reached a new height, making many Omegas blush.
It's really irresistible for the noble son of England.
Ran Xinyu had a lot of contact with him, but at this moment, she also felt that her heart began to beat uncontrollably, especially when she saw him walking towards her step by step, she couldn't help taking a few deep breaths to calm down the pain caused by her extreme beauty.impact.
In fact, compared to other Omegas, Shen Yan didn't deliberately dress up, but his appearance and temperament are a silent advantage, which cannot be compared with foreign objects.
Shen An also dressed extraordinarily gorgeously today, and her hair was also well-groomed.
In order to make his waist appear thinner, he even began to deliberately reduce his diet a month in advance, and even wore a waistband, even breathing carefully.
Of course, the effect is also very good. Against the background of the custom-made dress, Omega's waist is not full, and there is a sweet smile on the palm-sized face, which fully expresses the softness of the body.
However, these methods were all overshadowed by Shen Yan, without any effect.
Shen Yan was like a spotlight, attracting the attention of everyone present, whether it was an alpha, an omega, or a beta, everyone would be attracted by him, no one would notice him at all.
Shen An was filled with jealousy, bit his lower lip fiercely, his chest heaved violently because of anger, but he forgot that he was still wearing a corset, and was suddenly hurt by the hoop as if he was out of breath, so he had to find a seat to rest.
And here, Ran Xinyu finally recovered from his beauty, smiled and blinked at him, "Shen Yan, don't forget our agreement.
If you are not selected by He Ling, you will dance with me in the first dance."
"Okay." Shen Yan did not refuse.
Just as he was talking, Chang Hao from the elite class came over with a group of alphas.
He dressed very carefully today. His red hair looked as if it had been carefully groomed, and it was more dazzling than usual. The hair was combed back, exposing his forehead and handsome eyebrows, and he looked much more mature than before.
The tailored dark gray suit is tall and crisp, the hem of the shirt is tucked into the waist, and the ruby cufflinks complement the hair color; the tie is also solemnly tied at the neckline, revealing the sexy Adam's apple.
The overall feeling is quite different from the previous ruffian, it's like a different person.
Alpha's appearance is already good, so it must be said that it is very attractive when dressed up like this.
There were many Omega watching him along the way, which gave him a bit more confidence.
"Shen Yan, last time—cough." Chang Hao put his hand to his lips and coughed dryly, his ears turned red, he was really not ashamed to tell the story of his beating, and said vaguely: "...Anyway, that matterA write-off."
"After the opening, you dance with me...I mean, can I ask you to dance the first dance?" This time the alpha seems to have learned his lesson, and he didn't use that commanding tone, but his tone was a bitstiff.
He had already warned those alphas who coveted Shen Yan, not to come and strike up a conversation.
The military academy is like this, speaking with strength, he is bound to win the youth.
"Oh, you have a good idea. Shen Yan's first dance is either to dance with He Ling or with me." Ran Xinyu has always been proud of others, raised his head slightly and sneered: "You are not qualified yet."
The veins on Chang Hao's forehead popped up. Just as he was about to say something, there was a commotion in the crowd, accompanied by overwhelming shouts: "He Ling is here——!"
The system also excitedly said in its mind: "The mission goal has arrived, the host is rushing!"
After Ran Xinyu heard it, he immediately pulled Shen Yan forward, surrounded by Omega, they managed to squeeze in two or three circles away.
Shen Yan raised his eyes, relying on his height advantage, he saw the figure coming from the entrance of the banquet at a glance.
He Ling, who used to only wear combat uniforms in military schools, has completely changed his appearance today.
The long silver hair, as smooth as silk and satin, was loosely tied at the back and tied with a sapphire-studded headband, revealing three-dimensional and handsome facial features. The blue eyes are as deep as the ocean. A single profile is enough to make countlessOmega is obsessed.
He was wearing a casual black dress. The slim fit fully accentuated his good figure with wide shoulders and narrow waist. Any more would make him gain, and any less would make him lose. It was far from the usual spotless white uniform.The feeling of planting a high mountain flower has been diluted a lot.
The material of the dress is extremely exquisite and extremely luxurious, and the waves flow with the light, which is a unique design at first glance.
The dress has a half-cape style on the shoulders, adding a touch of elegance and handsomeness, and the amethyst brooch on the chest is shining.
He raised his head and looked in Shen Yan's direction, but was blocked by many figures.
"Oh my God, He Shen is actually wearing a dress today, he's so handsome!"
"It's the first time I saw a male god wearing a dress, ahhh, I'm going to be so handsome that I'm going to pass out."
"Hope to have my first dance with him!"
"Draw me, I am willing to exchange ten years of life for—"
All the Omegas around were discussing, wishing for stars to appear in their eyes, and what shocked them even more was that He Ling was actually wearing a dress!
You must know that at last year's banquet and other social gatherings, large and small, even if He Ling participated in it, he was still wearing a white combat uniform, as if he was wandering outside, and he was not interested in anything.
It was his first time wearing a gown, and it was so formal!
Ran Xinyu said to Shen Yan with some gossip: "There is definitely a situation! I guess He Shen may have someone he likes, and it's in this banquet hall."
If not, why would you care so much about your image?It's not his style.
Shen Yan didn't speculate wildly, but he felt that He Ling should be the same as himself, liking mechas more than others.
This time it should be out of politeness.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially began.
The principal of Xingya Noble Academy—a 108-year-old female Omega, shows the noble temperament like a queen in every gesture.
She took the lead in toasting, and in the adoring eyes of the crowd, she said "I wish you all have a good time tonight" and then left the stage, leaving the stage to these youthful young people.
He Yongshu, the principal of the Imperial First Military Academy, stood on the stage and said with a smile: "As expected, the most popular military student this year is indeed—He Ling, is he more handsome today than before?"
"Yes!!" The following replied in unison, mixed with the whistles of the alphas.
On such an occasion, everyone let go a lot, and no one would blame these outrageous performances.
"According to the usual practice, today's first dance is still performed by He Ling. Who will be his lucky dance partner?"
A huge holographic screen appeared in the sky, and many Omega names appeared on it, flickering like stars.
The Omega in the audience held their breath for an instant, and everyone looked up expectantly, nervously expecting to be selected.
The last five seconds of the 60-second countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1—
Everyone was thinking silently in their hearts. When the last second came, all Omega's heartbeats were beating, and they looked at the big screen without blinking.
"Oh, how could it be him?"
"He is too lucky."
"My heart is broken."
"Hey, it's not me, when will it be my turn?"
The screen freezes, Shen Yan's name appears in the center of the screen, and various disappointed voices can be heard from the audience.
Not only Omega, but also many alphas, especially Chang Hao, wishing they could smash the holographic screen.
How could this be?
He has warned so many alphas who don't have long eyes during this time, just to get close to Shen Yan at the banquet and make himself his only dance partner, but now——
Chang Hao gritted his teeth fiercely, his face gloomy.
But that was He Ling, no matter his strength or family background, he couldn't match him, so he could only watch helplessly.
Countless Omega cast their envious and jealous eyes on Shen Yan, but he himself did not show the ecstatic and dumbfounded expression like other Omega, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He said to the system in his mind: "Your intuition is quite accurate."
The probability of one in 12,000 really fell on him.
The system is modest: "The host is overrated."
It doesn't have any intuition, it's just that it can perceive the favorability of the other party.
What about the flower of Gaoling?
No one can resist the charm of the host.
The melodious music sounded slowly, and it was a common dance type for nobles - 'tanscoa'.
Compared with those soft and graceful ballroom dances, the movements of this kind of dance are tougher and more powerful, which is more suitable for male Omega.
wait......!
Shen Yan suddenly remembered a very serious question, he or He Ling, who dances the girl's step?
Even 'tanscoa' distinguishes between men's and women's steps, women's steps are softer than men's steps, and there are several 'special' moves, think about his forehead pain.
No matter, let's do it first.
In any case, he will never dance women's steps!
Shen Yan thought of a countermeasure in an instant.
He went to invite He Ling first, and the other party would definitely refuse, so he took advantage of the opportunity to give up this spot to someone else, or ask the principal to draw again.
I believe that many Omega will fight for this spot.
'As for the favorability...you can only wait until after this dance.’ Shen Yan thought regretfully in his heart.
So, before the prelude to the music ended, everyone at the banquet watched helplessly as this Omega, who was very lucky to be selected, ignored everyone's gazes, and suddenly strode towards He Ling, then stopped half a meter in front of him, and bowed slightly.body, made a very standard and extremely elegant court ceremony.
Omega's outstretched right hand is slender and fair, as delicate as a work of art placed in a showcase, but this cannot make people ignore the meaning of his gesture——
This is the standard posture for a 'male' to invite a dancer in ballroom dancing—in other words, Shen Yan took the initiative to invite a dancer to let He Ling do a female step??!!!
All the people present were stunned, their eyes were about to fall out of disbelief.
Is this Omega crazy?
Let He Ling dance the female step, they really...don't even dare to think about it, this, this is simply too horrifying.
Not to mention anything else, changing to any alpha, this move is a challenge to their dignity, and they will definitely be overwhelmed.
What's more, this person is He Ling!
The first military academy in the empire is top 1 in both comprehensive strength and popularity, the male god in many people's minds, the proud son of heaven with family background, strength, and good looks.
If they could dance a song with him, that would be something that many Omega could only wish for.
Didn't expect Shen Yan to hand over this opportunity to others like this?
Is he stupid?!
But that's good too, so they have a chance.
The Omegas all had their own thoughts, and they all prayed in their hearts that they would be selected next time, while the corners of Chang Hao's mouth twitched high.
Although he can no longer dance with Shen Yan, neither can other alphas, even if that person is He Ling.
He Ling looked down at the hand stretched out in front of him.
The other party's palms were facing upwards in an inviting posture, and the five fingers were as long as jade, slightly stretched out, like pruned white flower branches, pure and flawless.
The fingertips are covered with a thin layer of calluses, but it does not detract from its beauty.
A nice hand.
Such hands, coupled with Omega's perfect movements, reveal an indescribable elegance, just like the ancient European nobles inviting their favorite lady to dance together, full of gentlemanly demeanor, which makes people unable to bear to refuse.
So, the Omegas looked at their male god in shock, took off the white gloves they usually wore, put their bony hands on them, and held the other's hand.!!!
Oh my god, shouldn't they be dazzled?
He Ling actually... actually... accepted?!
This, how is this possible, has the male god not figured out the situation yet?
Most importantly, he also took off the white gloves that he never took off!!
You know, He Ling's obsession with cleanliness is very famous. In all occasions that fans can see, whether it's live training, challenge matches, photos taken secretly, or through the reactions of other alphas, he never picks, removes, passes,gloves!there has never been!
…
Shen Yan was also a little dazed, it was completely different from what he expected.
When he was led by the wrist to the center of the dance floor, he asked alpha suspiciously: "Why didn't you refuse just now?"
"It does not matter, I do not mind."
He Ling held Omega's hand and put it on his thin waist. There was a rippling in his calm eyes, as if the sun was shining on the blue sea, sparkling, "Because I want to dance with you for the first time."Dance."
