Chapter 90 – The Inferior Omega is Forcibly Loved by the Superior Alpha 41
Shi Heng no longer kept Shuang Yu locked up, but his body was extremely weak. He would get breathless after just a few steps, and his recovery was very slow.
After lunch, he helped Shuang Yu to the courtyard for a walk and to walk the dog.
The puppy, Bao Bao, ran around wildly, darting from one patch of grass to another, returning covered in dead leaves.
“Woof woof!”
It bit at Shuang Yu’s pant leg, signaling for him to play with it.
“Don’t bother your daddy, I’ll play with you! Yu, I’m going to walk the dog. You rest here for a bit and get some sun.”
Shi Heng helped him sit down on a chair, said with a bright smile, and took the frisbee from a maid. He then went to a nearby lawn to start playing with Bao Bao.
Shuang Yu leaned back lazily in his chair, a slight smile on his lips as he watched the two of them in the distance. He said to a maid, “It’s a bit chilly. Could you bring me a blanket?”
“Of course, Your Highness, the Crown Prince’s Consort.”
The maid nodded and quickly turned to leave.
The maid’s phone appeared in Shuang Yu’s hand. He unlocked it with his magical power and quickly dialed Wei Yichen’s number.
“Hello, this is Wei Yichen.”
The man’s tired voice came through the phone.
“It’s me, Ji Shuangyu.”
“Xiao Yu, where are you? Are you okay? I’ve been going crazy looking for you!”
Hearing Shuang Yu’s voice, Wei Yichen asked excitedly.
He had been missing for a month and a half. Wei Yichen knew it was Shi Heng’s doing, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, the other party’s status was far more noble than his!
“I’m in the Imperial Capital… Listen, Wei Yichen, Shi Heng is trying to kill me. I have to escape… The only person who can help me now is you. In one week, come pick me up personally at Nata Square!”
Shuang Yu spoke quickly, then hung up. He hid the phone and looked nonchalantly toward the lawn where Shi Heng, drenched in sweat, was waving at him with a faint smile.
The software stolen by Ji Weiheng had already been launched and was receiving widespread acclaim.
Having tasted success, his fall would be even harder soon. A week was enough time for him to fall from his pedestal.
While Shi Heng’s attention was back on Bao Bao, Shuang Yu used the phone again to send a message to Yan Lan, telling her to begin her move.
Not long after he returned the phone using his powers, Shi Heng came back, leading Bao Bao.
“I don’t know who this stupid dog takes after. I can’t tell if I’m walking it or it’s walking me!”
It was no wonder he was angry. He would throw the frisbee, but Bao Bao wouldn’t fetch it. Instead, it would just watch him, wagging its tail and panting.
It would only chase after it, barking, if he went to pick it up himself. It was infuriating.
“A dog is like its owner. You shouldn’t be so picky.”
Shuang Yu’s thin lips curled up as he teased.
“Yu, you’re making fun of me again…”
Shi Heng pouted pitifully and sat down beside him, resting his head lazily on his shoulder and looking up at the blue sky.
A gentle breeze blew past. He sniffed the faint magnolia scent on Shuang Yu and said emotionally, “It would be so nice if we could be like this forever.”
Forever?
Shuang Yu slowly looked up at the sky, the image of Feng Yan, whom he had almost forgotten, appearing in his mind.
In the end, it was all just a dream.
Shaking his head, he pushed the thought away.
“Shi Heng, do me a favor…”
This was the first time he had ever actively asked him for help.
Shi Heng’s eyes lit up. “Name it. This Crown Prince can even get you the stars from the sky!”
He would never forget what Shuang Yu had said on the Ferris wheel. Having no desires was the most terrifying thing.
Now that Shuang Yu was asking for something, it meant he still had some attachment to this world!
“In a few days, my aunt will go to the police station to expose my uncle. I promised her she wouldn’t go to jail. I might need you to pull some strings to get her out then.”
Shuang Yu said with his eyes slightly lowered.
“They treated you like that, and you’re still helping them?”
Shi Heng asked indignantly.
“Since I’m asking for something, I naturally have to make some concessions. Although I’ve let her off, she’s been out of society for so many years. Without my uncle’s protection, she probably won’t have it easy.”
Shuang Yu let out a soft laugh, his eyes filled with sarcasm.
“I could do so much more for you. With just one word from me, their entire family would be dead immediately!”
Shi Heng said resentfully.
“Yes, yes, you’re all-powerful. But this is my own business, and I want to handle it myself. This is the only thing I can do for my parents…”
Shuang Yu shook his head and said frankly.
“I understand. But I hope you know that we’ll be family in the future. You can rely on me.”
Shi Heng hugged him with a pained heart and said in a hoarse voice.
“Mmm-hmm.”
He just smiled perfunctorily, not taking his words to heart.
Not noticing his perfunctory attitude, Shi Heng took a deep breath and suddenly knelt on one knee.
“Yu… you… I…”
“You’re not thinking of proposing, are you?”
Shuang Yu was all too familiar with this gesture. After all, in his last life, Feng Yan would kneel once a month!
“No… it’s…”
A flustered Shi Heng fumbled for a velvet box, but in his nervousness, he dropped it.
“Woof woof!”
Bao Bao suddenly darted out, snatched the velvet box, and immediately took off running.
The accident happened so suddenly that Shi Heng was completely dumbfounded.
“Hey, my proposal ring! Come back, you stupid dog…”
Coming back was not an option. The snatched ring was like a meat bun thrown at a dog—gone for good.
“Hahaha… cough cough…”
Shuang Yu couldn’t help but burst out laughing again.
“I’ve raised a little ancestor and a nemesis!”
Shi Heng complained, on the verge of tears. He was at a complete loss. In the end, he knelt properly again, gently took his hand, and said with a sincere tone, “Yu, marry me… I know I’ve done many unforgivable things. I will spend my life making it up to you. I will be good to you for the rest of my life and never make you sad again!”
Shuang Yu stared at him quietly, remaining silent for a long time.
His own heart was in turmoil, like riding a rollercoaster.
That pair of gentle, affectionate phoenix eyes were filled with unease and anxiety.
After a long while, Shuang Yu finally nodded gently. “Okay…”
“I know you hate me… of course you won’t agree…”
They both spoke at almost the same time. A dejected Shi Heng spoke in defeat, then stopped mid-sentence, dumbfounded. After a moment, he asked with a trembling voice, “You agreed? You really agreed?!”
“Silly dog.”
Shuang Yu’s expression softened, and he reached out to pinch his cheek.
“Yu, Yu, thank you!”
Shi Heng’s eyes reddened, and he choked up as he buried his face in his lap.
Hot tears fell, soaking his pants. They felt like sulfuric acid on Shuang Yu’s skin, stinging and painful.
“I… I’ll go get the ring back. Wait for me!”
Shi Heng stood up excitedly to chase after Bao Bao.
Shuang Yu watched his retreating back quietly, letting out a soft sigh after a long moment.
“Now I know why that lunatic always wanted to make me cry. It turns out a person’s crying face is really quite moving.”
[My Lord, are you really going to marry him? If you are marked, your body will also ‘die’ as a result.]
Xiao Ai’s worried voice sounded.
“It doesn’t matter. He’s not too bad to look at, so I’ll help him this once. Besides, I wasn’t planning on staying in this world for ten years anyway.”
Shuang Yu said indifferently.
