Zhang Yunli fumed. “You barely see him once a year. How do you know he doesn’t have issues? He jumps out right after your match to steal the spotlight and announce your relationship—ulterior motives!”
Mu Chenxing put on an innocent face. “Didn’t you say he seems like a good guy? I trust you and Principal Fu.”
“Good character and dating are two different things. A single S+++ Alpha at 40? Either he’s a player, or he can’t perform. He held back today, so he definitely can’t! Otherwise, why rush to announce? I say dump him.”
“…Teacher, do you want something to happen to me, or nothing to happen?”
Zhang Yunli was stumped.
Fu Mingyuan held back a laugh and pulled him away. “Alright. Chenxing just competed for five days straight and is covered in injuries. Let him rest.”
Zhang Yunli snapped to. He quickly pulled out a medicine bottle. “Almost forgot— no match now, so you can use the good stuff. Especially your face. Spray it quick.” He was heartbroken. “Such a nice face, ruined like this.”
Mu Chenxing thanked him and took the bottle, touching his face. “That bad?”
Zhang Yunli snapped, “What do you think?”
Mu Chenxing grinned. “But Pei Yao didn’t mind.”
No wonder Pei Yao kept kissing his forehead and cheeks tonight, touching his face a bunch. He’d thought the guy was afraid of losing control if they kissed properly.
Zhang Yunli: “…”
He nearly poked a hole through Mu Chenxing’s forehead.
Luckily, Fu Mingyuan was there to coax Zhang Yunli away. Mu Chenxing finally got back to his room to shower, apply medicine, and rest.
Before he fell asleep, Pei Yao had already boarded the supply ship to the Fourth Military District and sent a message: Ignore any doubts until the event review results are out. I’ve got you.
Mu Chenxing: Okay.
Pei Yao: My baby must be exhausted these days. Rest early~~
Pei Yao: Goodnight, baby~ [kiss.jpg]
Mu Chenxing replied with an “okay” and closed the window.
He thought for a moment, then opened Douyin.
The afternoon’s hot searches had cooled off, replaced by celebrities, ads, and movie promos.
He tapped into Pei Yao’s profile.
The bio was the same, following list still at 1, fans over 70 million.
With some anticipation, Mu Chenxing clicked that single follow: @Milky Way Xingxing.
As expected.
He hooked the corner of his mouth, glanced at the Star Night Stone on his finger, then opened his gallery to look through the screenshots he’d saved today…
Again.
Since graduation, he’d been on the front lines—Border ops, peacekeeping units. Always protecting others or en route to it.
He’d met too many people; his instincts for judging them were sharp. He liked Pei Yao and thought he was solid, so he went for it.
He hadn’t overthought it back then. Or rather, even as a student, he had confidence he could give Pei Yao a better future.
But after three rocky years, he’d nearly lost that confidence—while Pei Yao kept giving him shot after shot of reassurance.
Now… well, cough. Seemed like it wasn’t impossible?
He still couldn’t match Pei Yao’s strength. The gap was too big, and it wouldn’t close anytime soon.
And Pei Yao definitely wouldn’t bottom.
…Could that spot even…
Mu Chenxing frowned. Whatever. Later.
He turned off the holo-screen and went to sleep.
…
Two days after the exchange training with Dawn Military Academy, the teachers and students of Alliance First Military Academy boarded an interstellar liner and returned to Central Star after a six-day journey.
It was already the tail end of winter break. Luo Chen waited for him in the house near the school. The moment he saw him, Luo Chen checked him over from head to toe, especially the ribs that had cracked during the interrupted match.
After the match ended, he’d used a high-efficiency potion, so the fracture had mostly healed. As long as he didn’t make any strenuous movements, he felt nothing at all.
Only after confirming he was completely unscathed did Luo Chen finally let out a breath of relief. Then he asked, “How did you and Pei Yao suddenly get engaged? You even packed up your stuff here and shipped it out. I thought…” We’re breaking up.
Mu Chenxing felt awkward. “That was, cough cough, a misunderstanding. Just a misunderstanding… Anyway, it’s probably him, so getting engaged is normal. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy for him to arrange my posting in the military district.”
Luo Chen stared at him for a long moment before sighing. “You two barely see each other these years. I don’t know what you see in him.”
Mu Chenxing replied, “We’ll be working together from now on, so we won’t have trouble seeing each other.”
Luo Chen glared at him. “Is that work? That’s risking your life!!”
With that, his eyes reddened. “You’re an Omega—why are you rushing headlong to the front lines?”
Mu Chenxing’s head throbbed. “Dad, haven’t we already discussed this?”
Luo Chen snapped angrily, “My son’s about to head to the border front lines, and you won’t let me grumble a bit?”
Mu Chenxing shut his mouth.
Luo Chen nagged on for a good while, shed some tears, and eventually comforted himself.
“…Luckily, you’re in nursing. You won’t have to fight Star Beasts. And now your skills are good, your strength is up—you can even beat so many Alphas. You probably won’t suffer much.”
Mu Chenxing let out a huge sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.
Luo Chen coughed lightly and mumbled, “Also, even though you’re engaged, you still need to be careful in the military district.”
Mu Chenxing: “?”
Luo Chen: “Cough—don’t knock anyone up.”
It took Mu Chenxing half a beat to catch on, and he flushed with embarrassment. “It won’t happen, Dad. I’m in the military district.”
Luo Chen: “Does an Omega’s constitution care whether you’re in a military district or not?”
Mu Chenxing touched his nose. He’d almost forgotten about that… Fine, Pei Yao could keep holding back.
After lecturing him, Luo Chen sighed again. “But it’ll be hard to see you from now on.”
…No solution for that one.
Mu Chenxing thought for a moment and comforted him. “It’s fine. Once I—”
“No worries.” Luo Chen perked up. “I passed another certification exam last year. I can try applying to Dawn Military Academy on Changhong Star. I hear it only takes a day from there to Fourth Military District. Then we can see each other often.”
Mu Chenxing: “…”
Where was the Luo Chen who’d needed all his tricks just to move to Central Star back then?
Still, seeing Luo Chen so resilient and independent without wallowing in self-pity made him happy.
He pulled the shorter Luo Chen into his arms. “Good. Once you get into Dawn Military Academy, I’ll come see you every time I have leave.”
Luo Chen fretted, “I don’t know if it’ll work out.”
Mu Chenxing grinned. “If not this year, try again next year. If not next year, the year after. Keep at it year after year until I retire.”
Luo Chen rolled his eyes. “You look down on me? My body’s disabled, not my brain.”
Mu Chenxing chuckled. “Then I’ll wait for your good news.”
Luo Chen “mm”-ed, glanced at him twice, and hesitated.
Mu Chenxing picked up on it. “Is there something else you want to tell me?”
Luo Chen: “Well, your match stream—your father saw it too.”
Mu Chenxing frowned. “You’re still in touch with him?”
Luo Chen: “No, he contacted me from someone else’s number. I didn’t notice and picked up.”
“…What did he say?”
Luo Chen: “What he said doesn’t matter, but now that you’re with Pei Yao, I’m afraid he’ll latch onto you as his son.”
Mu Chenxing shrugged it off. “Let him try, if he’s got the guts.”
Luo Chen worried, “But he—”
“Forget him.” Mu Chenxing patted him. “Push anything onto me. I’ll deal with him. Anyway, I’m heading to the military district next month—he won’t find me. You, though? Don’t pick up calls from strangers or leak your address anymore. And if you transfer to Dawn Military Academy successfully, you can ignore him completely.”
Luo Chen nodded.
After a comfortable half-month rest at home, the enlistment list for this batch of military academy graduates finally came out.
The Alliance military system directly sent each academy student their reporting military district and assembly point. As expected, Mu Chenxing was assigned to Fourth Military District.
Or rather, out of the 190-plus Omegas in their nursing cohort, only around 60 had signed frontline service agreements. Naturally, all of them were assigned to Fourth Military District—the only one that had rushed to complete housing accommodations for Omegas.
Tong Xiao and the others wailed in the group chat:
“Oh god, why did I lose my mind and sign that service agreement?”
“I regret it! I’m only suited to stay home as a daddy’s boy. I don’t wanna strive anymore.”
“How can a soft, cute Omega like me go suffer on the front lines?”
“I wanna withdraw! I wanna breach the contract!!”
…
Mu Chenxing: [Photo.jpg] x10
All photos specially gotten from Captain Chen Chuheng— the hottest Alphas in Fourth Military District.
Training photos, at that.
Bronze skin, sweat, eight-pack abs… Hormone-packed big, buff Alphas!
Mu Chenxing: All single!
Mu Chenxing: Still soft? Still wanna breach?
“No breaching—that’s not cool. We’re cultured university students with contract spirit!”
Cough, front lines it is. We’re going to save the wounded, not fight wars.”
“Who’s soft? Big bro’s trained for three years—even the rookie Alphas from freshman year can’t match me!”
“I’ve grown up. Time to leave Daddy’s arms and venture into the world!”
…
Mu Chenxing: Hah, can’t handle you lot of lustful Omegas?
He was smug about it when two private messages popped up.
Pei Yao: Baby, I hear you asked Chu Heng for photos of single buff Alphas? [Smiley face.jpg]
Pei Yao: And specified nudes? [Smiley face.jpg]
Mu Chenxing: “…”
Weren’t soldiers supposed to have strong confidentiality awareness?
Chen Chuheng, you big mouth!
