night.
While the students participating in the exercise were resting in the field, a reception was also organized inside the warship.
Even if Gu Huan disliked certain people, he still had to do his best to be a good host. The chef prepared a sumptuous dinner in the hall. The instructors of the Second Military Academy and some reporters who came specially were all gathered in the hall to eat. Many students who surrendered because of hunger were also taken to the lounge for dinner.
In such a crowded hall, Gu Huan found a place that looked relatively quiet and hid there. However, it was useless for him to hide there. Wherever he was, everyone's attention would be there. He attracted everyone's attention like a magnet.
As long as you pay close attention to the direction everyone is paying attention to, you can find him.
It was by relying on this that Chu Xinglin found Gu Huan in the corner.
Leaning against the wall of the sofa, he handed Gu Huan a glass of orange juice.
Gu Huan looked at the orange drink in his hand silently, not understanding how he could tell that he liked drinking this kind of thing.
As if he could see Gu Huan's dissatisfaction from his expressionless face, Chu Xinglin shook the drink himself and said, "You can't drink."
"You should remember that you got drunk after taking a sip last time."
A ripple quickly appeared in Gu Huan's eyes, and then his eyes fixed on the cup handed to him by the other party.
He reached out and took it, took a sip, frowned slightly, and put it down.
He doesn't like sweet things very much.
"Speaking of last time." Gu Huan raised his head and asked calmly, "Did you tell me something later?"
Chu Xinglin's eyes turned slightly and stared at those eyes, but he couldn't help but pay attention to her lips, which looked very sweet after being soaked in the drink.
After realizing what he was thinking, Chu Xinglin subconsciously avoided Gu Huan's gaze.
"nothing."
Looking at Chu Xinglin's expression, Gu Huan frowned slightly.
His answer made him feel that he might have said something.
But after missing it last time, the other party didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Chu Xinglin took the wine and sat down on the sofa next to Gu Huan, leaning towards Gu Huan. His burly figure made Gu Huan look a little slender. His deep blue eyes were a little absent-minded, and he asked tentatively, "Should we reposition our relationship recently?"
When Gu Huan ignored him, he talked to himself.
"We can probably be considered friends."
After a moment of silence, the admiral opened his lips slightly and repeated the word from Chu Lin's mouth. "Friend?"
When mentioning this word, Gu Huan felt as if he was in another world.
In his previous life, as a rare half-elf, he had to exhaust all his strength just to survive in the cracks. There were also many "friends" who had various ideas about him and deliberately made friends with him. The losses he suffered were enough to kill an ordinary person countless times. In order to avoid being betrayed, he simply developed a habit of being wary of people and not opening up to them.
friend.
This was a word that was gradually becoming unfamiliar to him.
He neither admitted nor denied it. He raised his eyelashes and looked at Chu Xinglin indifferently.
"I thought you remembered that you've been threatening me."
It's a small thing the size of a bean buried in the skin, close to the heart.
He originally wanted Xiao Ling to help him check what it was used for.
But Chu Lin told him that if he casually checked the thing, it might lead to consequences he didn't want. He gave up the idea.
"How heartless." Chu Xinglin supported his chin with his index finger. Thinking of the specific purpose of the device, he murmured in a magnetic voice, "Well, it's for safety reasons."
Gu Huan also heard Chu Xinglin's murmur, but he thought it was for safety reasons because he was afraid that Chu Xinglin would threaten him and the prince, so he was no longer moved by the word "friend".
Just as Gu Huan was stroking the glass with his fingers, a fleeting reflection suddenly caught his attention.
Gu Huan raised his eyebrows.
Lin Shuyan
How did he get in here
Gu Huan stood up and scanned the venue with his mental power, and indeed, he found Shang He there.
Although Ye Qi Yan's problem was solved, Lin Shuyan was still learning with Shang He because he was extremely talented in mental healing. Gu Huan turned a blind eye to it because in the story Lin Shuyan would have become a great mental healer, and having the two of them around him was something he couldn't ask for more.
But... the people who came to today's party are not good people. Why did Shanghe bring Lin Shuyan here as well
Because of his understanding that the protagonist group = the one who can cause trouble, Gu Huan chased after Lin Shuyan without thinking.
Chu Xinglin watched Gu Huan stand up, frowned, put down his wine glass, and followed him.
Walking through the quiet corridor, Gu Huan saw Lin Shuyan who was eavesdropping.
That room was a lounge specially prepared for Jin Chi.
Although Lin Shuyan could not control his mental power to the same level as Gu Huan, his mental power was enough for him to hear a general idea when he lay on the soundproof wall.
His expression seemed extremely frightened, as if his legs were so weak that he couldn't move at all.
Gu Huan used his mental power to discover that the people in the room had noticed that someone seemed to be eavesdropping outside, and their hand was already on the door.
He immediately rushed up, grabbed Lin Shuyan's hand, pulled Lin Shuyan to his side, pressed him against the wall, and said in a very cold voice.
"Why are you here?"
Jin Chi came out of the door, and Chu Xinglin happened to watch this scene when he walked through the passage.
"General..."
Before Lin Shuyan could hide his frightened expression, he was stunned by what Gu Huan said.
"Omegas shouldn't be here."
"Are you that unsatisfied?"
What? Lin Shuyan opened his mouth in vain.
Gu Huan faced Lin Shuyan, suppressing his anger with a cold expression, and pointed at Chu Xinglin.
"You've found him here?"
Lin Shuyan still couldn't pick up his lower jaw.
ha
Chu Xinglin also reacted quickly and realized that Gu Huan was talking nonsense. He glanced at Jin Chi who was rushing out of the door, and started to cooperate. He immediately walked towards Gu Huan who was holding down Lin Shuyan, forcibly pulled Gu Huan's hand away, frowned slightly, and his sharp brows immediately added a bit of danger.
"Admiral, I respectfully call you Admiral, could you please stop threatening Shuyan? He has the freedom to choose who he likes."
Shang He told him the name Lin Shuyan, which just happened to come in handy.
"... ..."
Looking at the two alphas squeezing on his left and right, Lin Shuyan was very confused.
He also read Mary Sue's novels, but he didn't dare to write like that in the novels.
When Jin Chi walked out of the door and saw this situation, he was a little suspicious at first, but then he suddenly realized.
He had just communicated with the Duke when he suddenly smelled a faint scent of omega pheromones and thought someone was eavesdropping, so he came out to check. But what did he see
Gu Huan is competing with others for an omega.
No wonder when he investigated them before, he said that Gu Huan hated Chu Lin and that they had a bad relationship. It turned out that it was because they were love rivals.
"Keep an eye on your omega and don't let him run around." Jin Chi sneered, walked out of the door, and left with his head held high.
Stealing an omega? How could he do such a shameless thing? If he wanted an omega, there would be plenty of people throwing themselves at him.
I saw Jin Chi leaving.
Gu Huan glanced at Chu Lin's hand that was holding his wrist.
Chu Xinglin realized it later and obediently opened his fingers, as if nothing had happened.
Lin Shuyan looked around at the two instructors standing beside him and was a little confused.
Is their relationship good or bad
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
Gu Huan poured a cup of hot tea for Lin Shuyan and a cup of coffee for himself, while Chu Xinglin leaned against the wall.
Because the student was sweating on his head, it was obvious that he was frightened. He was holding the teacup in both hands and was still shaking.
"Why did you go there?"
Lin Shuyan pursed her lips and said, "I heard from Ye Qiyan that you told him that General Jin Chi might have done what happened that day, but the person who did it has been "silenced". You can't hold General Jin responsible... I don't want to let the bad guy go."
“… … .”
Gu Huan sent someone to tell Ye Qi Yan just because he felt that Ye Qi Yan should not be kept in the dark. Unexpectedly, he happened to tell the omega around him about this.
Anyone who has read the novel knows what the chances are of the protagonists standing up if they encounter any problems.
Lin Shuyan looks calm and composed, but she is worthy of being Nie Chuan's future partner. She is really cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Gu Huan frowned and said coldly, "Don't interfere in this matter anymore."
Since he was the one being plotted against, he can just solve it himself.
He doesn't need his students to do anything for him.
Moreover, after Chu Lin knew about Jin Chi's affairs, he cooperated with him. In fact, the Jin family was one of the financial pillars behind the emperor's uncle. However, after the prince got into trouble this time, they completely exposed their wolfish ambitions. The prince's people have always wanted to destroy this family that has become a cancer in the empire, and he wants to teach Jin Chi a lesson. The two of them are quite unanimous in this regard.
After cooperating with Chu Lin, they dug out some things that were more painful to Jin Chi than the omega going into heat at the banquet. It was not that he didn't want to get rid of Jin Chi, but because the matter involved too many people at the end, and if he didn't kill him in one fell swoop, it would probably alert the enemy, so he just left Jin Chi alone.
"Go back to the omega's room quickly." Jin Chi will definitely not have a good ending, it's just a matter of time.
"General! No, I can't go back first! Listen to me, I heard something very serious!" Lin Shuyan suddenly raised his head.
Gu Huan's frown deepened. "What's wrong?"
"General Jin Chi said that Zerg will appear on that training ground tomorrow."
"He can't be serious."
When Lin Shuyan talked about the Zerg, his voice trembled with fear.
In the years since the birth of the energy shield, the Zerg have gradually become detached from people's reality and have become a thing of horror stories and nightmares.
When Lin Shuyan talked about the Zerg, the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.
Gu Huan did not say anything else. He was silent for a while. His slender hands firmly grasped the handle of the coffee and he took a sip. The warm liquid flowed down his throat and warmed his frightened heart. He then raised his eyelashes and said in relief.
"Don't worry. It'll be fine."
The omega felt relieved immediately when he heard the general he trusted say this, but Chu Xinglin's eyes moved slightly.
Gu Huan said, nothing will happen.
But he didn't say that the Zerg would not appear.
... ... ... ... ... ...
After Lin Shuyan was sent back.
Gu Huan returned to his room only to find that Chu Lin had not left yet.
I have to say.
After these few times, nothing good would happen whenever he was alone with Chu Lin.
So when he saw Chu Lin was still there, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
But at this moment, he is definitely the most suitable person to discuss the situation.
Sure enough, before Gu Huan opened his mouth, the alpha who was silently standing by the wall asked, "What do you think about the news about the Zerg?"
What does he think.
Jin Chi certainly didn't have the ability to command the Zerg to wreak havoc, but Chu Fengyuan definitely did.
Gu Huan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, just opposite Chu Xinglin. There were undercurrents in his golden eyes, but he didn't say a word.
Chu Xinglin pursed his lips slightly, "Yes, it's true that someone could predict where the Zerg would appear. How terrifying it is! How could it be true? The stories they make up are getting more and more unrealistic recently."
Gu Huan knew that Chu Lin wanted to get some information out of him.
If he wanted to leave here, he couldn't get involved too much in this kind of thing. Chu Fengyuan had never told the original owner anything about the insect tide, and he should act like he knew nothing about it.
But he was willing to say more to protect the students who were now with him.
"We have to accept that this could happen," he said calmly.
Chu Xinglin's expression became serious and he continued to listen to Gu Huan.
"But the Zerg are so huge... they couldn't have appeared suddenly. They must have been lying in ambush in the training grounds long ago.
"It's just that they didn't show the traces of the Zerg in the flight camera."
If they couldn't find the Zerg in the camera footage, they couldn't pause the exercise.
"I have an idea."
Gu Huan supported his chin with his index finger slightly raised and lightly scratched his cheek.
"I need to borrow your hacking power."
Gu Huan felt that the two of them were not close enough to borrow each other's power without reason, so he added, "If you want to protect students like I do."
"good."
Chu Lin's answer was short and quick, as if letting him have whatever he wanted.
Gu Huan's eyebrows moved slightly. He didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to.
Is it his illusion
This person seemed to be getting better and better to him.
He raised his eyes and met those deep blue eyes. He felt as if they were burning, and then he looked away.
