Due to the sudden change in his relationship, Restello's attitude towards Bai Duan is also gradually changing. From the calm and friendly treatment of a junior who is worth cultivating before, it has become a bit of "above friendship, but not enough lovers". ambiguous.
It's a pity that Bai Duan was born without this string, or in other words, all his sensitivity to love in his life has been used on Eddie. Every time he sees Restello, what keeps wandering in his mind is his own Huo who was forced to go away. Bean Xing, his sweetheart who has suffered a lot, how can he have the time to observe Restello's attitude and behavior? It's annoying just to look at it.
Bai Duan was unaware of Restello's gradually changing attitude, and still kept a polite distance from him, which made Restello quite anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
As the proud son of heaven, Restello has always been the object of being chased by others, and he never took the initiative to express his affection for anyone-the only exception was his former fiancée Eddie, but that was only because of "the right family" and "two loves". "It's a matter of course" for "to be happy with each other", if you want to say that you are distracted... there are really not many.
Restello didn't want to mention such a "black history" at all, not to mention pursuing a delicate and naive Omega—even though it was a Beta disguised as an Omega—was completely different from pursuing a cold and arrogant Beta.
On the one hand, Restello doesn't know how to subtly change the relationship between himself and Bai Duan, on the other hand, he has no way to lower his worth and take the initiative to court a Beta. So even though he was itching in his heart, Restello had to watch the relationship between himself and Bai Duan stagnate in depression, secretly slandering the indifference and politeness of this Beta junior, and wondering whether the other party was really incomprehensible, or Clumsy desire to refuse and welcome.
Of course, although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Duan, Alpha's arrogant and tough nature still made Restello put the other party into his sphere of influence early on - Alpha is used to possessing and protecting everything that belongs to him, not only It's only aimed at Omega, and it's also aimed at its own territory, property, vassals, and so on.
Although today's Bai Duan still hasn't reached the level that can be his own exclusive mech technician, Restello's willingness to cultivate him has deepened. He hopes that Bai Duan can grow up faster and catch up with his own pace. For this reason, at the end of the semester, he even extended an invitation to Bai Duan, inviting him to join his team as a mecha technician and conduct field combat assessment together.
Delmo Institute of Higher Education not only has extremely high barriers to entry, but also has very strict requirements for students to graduate, and Restello's mech piloting major is even more outstanding. In the first year, their semester assessment is actual mecha combat, in the second year it is a virtual field survival simulation, in the third year it is a real field survival assessment, and in the fourth year they directly enter the army and carry out missions with real soldiers.
For such a strict and even dangerous final assessment, the school has always said that it is for "responsibility"-these mecha pilot students will definitely enter the army in the future and become the sharpest knives on the battlefield, and they were so strict when they were students. The request is not only responsible for the lives of these students, but also responsible for the security of the entire country.
Even, in order to prevent cheating, the school will broadcast the assessment process of the first three academic years on the web, hoping that all interested people will exercise their rights and obligations of supervision. The webcast is stopped, but the fighters around each student will observe and judge the students, which is more professional and strict than the supervision of the public.
Therefore, each final assessment is not only related to graduation and grades for students majoring in mecha driving at Delmore Institute of Higher Education, but also related to future development, and noble children like Restello , but also need to bear the family's reputation and personal prestige - after all, it is not without examples that because of arrogance and self-willedness, they exposed their ugly appearances, which caused the family to lose face and themselves were knocked down.
The final assessment is so important that everyone has to be cautious when choosing their teammates. Therefore, when Bai Duan received Restello's invitation, his first reaction was whether the opponent's brain was broken.
Of course, regardless of whether Restello was crazy or not, this did not affect Bai Duan's categorical refusal, but it was not because he was worried that he would not be able to do the job.
It is true that field combat is an extreme test of a mecha master's basic quality, professionalism and adaptability. After all, the field is no better than a laboratory. Without professional testing equipment and well-prepared replacement materials, it is impossible for ordinary new students response. But Bai Duan is different. His understanding of machinery is far superior to that of students of the same level. He not only received the orthodox education taught by Professor Zieg, but also learned a lot of strange but practical things from the star thieves from Lao Lin and his friends. Ye Luzi, it's not a problem to cope with a student's field practice assessment.
—Bai Duan refused to join Restello's team to participate in the field practice assessment, just because he didn't want to involve himself with Restello.
Inviting an "incompetent" low-level student to such an important exam means that in the eyes of others, Bai Duan will definitely be assigned to Restello's camp and become his vassal, no matter how well Bai Duan performs. Excellence, at best, is nothing more than changing one's status from a lover who is taken care of and favored by Restoro to a subordinate who is discerned by discerning eyes.
But no matter what kind of identity, it is not what Bai Duan wants. He didn't want to be exclusive to someone, and even if he had to compromise, that person definitely couldn't be Restoro. Otherwise, Bai Duan really didn't know if he would violate his "professional ethics" and kill this guy secretly.
—Probably true, as Lao Lin said, Bai Duan is naturally cold-blooded, and he can think quite calmly about how to kill this annoying Alpha who sticks to himself and talks to himself, and his only worry is killing him How will he deal with the endless troubles that follow.
Faced with Bai Duan's firm refusal, Restello couldn't understand it. After all, in his opinion, it was all about gain and nothing harm. In fact, this was the first time that Restello "sacrificed" himself in order to fulfill others. Interests.
"This is a very good opportunity for you, why did you refuse?" Facing this Beta that he admired for the first time, Restello showed rare patience.
Bai Duan lowered her eyes to hide the impatience in her eyes, and belittled herself with duplicity: "I don't have the qualifications."
"Are you worried that you won't be able to complete the task and cause me trouble?" Restello's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, I know that your level will never be inferior to that of the third-grade students. You are a genius, not at all. You need to progress and grow at the pace of ordinary people, which is just a waste of time for you—take a step back and say, it doesn’t matter even if you are not competent. I will be fully prepared and will definitely not let the assessment go wrong.”
"If that's the case, then I won't go." Bai Duan pursed her lips, frowned, and her tone became colder, "I don't need to use this method to gild myself. Anyway—" He saw Lei Stroll seemed to want to persuade, but he was too lazy to continue arguing, and ended the topic firmly, "I won't go, senior doesn't need to say more."
Restello looked at Bai Duan helplessly. Although he was refuted, he unexpectedly did not feel any dissatisfaction.
In other words, such a proud, high-spirited, clean-looking white satin fits the image in his mind, which makes him appreciate it more and more, and his heart is eager to move.
——As an Alpha, he can completely tolerate his Beta having such a "cute" temper. After all, he is so good and talented, isn't he
Due to Bai Duan's tough attitude, this topic did not continue in the end.
Bai Duan originally thought that this matter would be over, but unexpectedly, a few days later, when the team list for the third-year field practice assessment was announced, it viciously mocked his innocence and stupidity, and made him experience Alpha's arrogance and arrogance once again. Capricious.
Looking at the name immediately after Restoro on the list, Bai Duan was in a bad mood, with a gloomy expression.
For the first time, he took the initiative to find Restello and asked him what was going on, and Restello had already expected the arrival of Bai Duan, and looked at him with a hint of connivance, as if in Watch a child throwing a tantrum: "I know you'll be pissed at my self-assertion—but trust me, I'm really doing it for your own good, and you'll understand later."
Bai Duan took a deep breath, trying to restrain the urge to punch the Alpha's nose off. He knew that he still didn't have the ability to turn against Restello, and the list he reported to the school could not be changed. Now that the matter has come to this, he can only continue to endure, and then look for a chance to get rid of this Alpha.
Bai Duan really couldn't bear this behavior of wantonly interfering in and manipulating his own life in the name of his own good. Originally, the relationship between him and Restello was only due to Eddie's old grievances, but now another layer has been added. new enmity.
Bai Duan didn't know why he was so dissatisfied with Restello's behavior, as if he had been touched by some kind of scale, and he couldn't help being furious—obviously, he was not so easily emotional people.
It seems that somewhere in the dark, the same thing happened before. He was once beheaded and then played by a person in the name of "for your own good". And that person knew that he would never agree with his decision.
Unlike Restello's unbearable behavior for Bai Duan, although Bai Duan was angry and annoyed at that person's behavior, she couldn't really hate and hate it, and even faintly felt pity and pity that she couldn't part with—a complicated Ling Bai Satin's mind was in a mess.
He felt that he seemed to have caught something very important, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was just an illusion—after all, Bai Duan clearly remembered that similar things had never happened in his life, and he did not There is no such a guy who I love and hate that has ever made a decision that made me angry behind my back.
This moment of daze caused Bai Duan to miss the best time to refute, and in Restello's eyes, it seemed to be an acquiescence of obedience.
He patted Bai Duan's shoulder with a face full of relief, and patted Bai Duan out of his trance and memory: "I know, you are very smart, and you must understand my painstaking efforts."
Bai Duan with an indifferent expression but actually a perplexed face: "... umm?"
At the same time, in another star field far away, Eddie, who had already proved himself and won the leadership of a small group of star thieves, was about to flex his muscles and sneezed heavily. He felt a chill on his back, as if As if possessed by some resentment.
... Well, it must be that the lover who has suffered from lovesickness is mourning him~=w=—— Eddie, who doesn't know the truth and has a thick skin, is thinking like this.
