Dressed as the only Omega in the Star Military Academy

Caught.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There were some intense waves in those light grey eyes, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips were about to curl up, revealing a rare brightness and joy, but the next moment he felt something was wrong.

The person in front of me...

It doesn't seem to be Huanhuan.

The smell and sound seemed wrong, none of them were familiar to him.

For a moment, Zhou Zhi's bony fingers tightened involuntarily, and his arm became as stiff as a wooden sculpture. After a moment, he loosened his hand as if waking from a dream, and asked in a calm voice:

"who are you?"

The man's collar was pulled tightly around his neck, causing him to have difficulty breathing.

therefore.

Now he rubbed his neck.

After coughing a few times, he raised his head indignantly, and muttered a few curses out of anger and fear, "You ask me?!"

"I still want to ask you!"

"Are you crazy? I was walking on this bridge and suddenly you chased me in the middle of the night. I thought I saw a ghost..."

Perrin looked up at the man.

He stared with his eyes wide open and was about to get angry, but after seeing the pair of light grey eyes in the mist, he couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes revealed even deeper fear.

No.

Why does this man look so much like the Emperor? Is he seeing things?

The person standing in front of him was very tall. He looked down at him with a gaze as cold as ice, which was piercingly chilling. Besides that, there was even a sense of emptiness and loss in his body.

It's like...

It's like losing some important treasure.

Perrin pinched himself.

The sharp pain brought him back to his senses. After realizing that what he saw was not a dream, he hurriedly saluted again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Realizing that his nonsense just now must have offended His Majesty the Emperor, he now unconsciously felt a bit annoyed and nervous, and stuttered when he spoke.

"My name is Perrin."

"I am the one who is attending the banquet this time..."

Although he knew that the person he caught was not Lu Chihuan, he still couldn't help feeling disappointed after hearing Perrin's words with his own ears. He asked in a cold voice.

"Midnight."

"Why are you here?"

His tone sounded as if he was interrogating a prisoner, as if he would throw him into the lake if Perrin couldn't answer anything.

Perrin shuddered subconsciously.

After a moment, he replied dryly, "I... I just heard about the legend of Mirror Lake and wanted to come and see if it was true. I didn't want to do anything else..."

just.

I didn't expect that he had such bad luck.

He unexpectedly encountered the unlucky star, His Majesty the Emperor. When he returns, he must rub his body vigorously with pomelo leaves to remove the bad luck.

Zhou Zhi pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Except you."

"Are there any others with you?"

Is the shadow of Huanhuan that I just saw real? Is it really an illusion of the Mirror Lake?

Perrin hesitated.

I don’t know whether His Majesty the Emperor will hold him accountable for coming to Mirror Lake in the middle of the night.

At this moment he couldn't help but think... If he had to be punished, he should be the only one punished, and never implicate Lu Chihuan.

after all.

Huanhuan is here to accompany me.

That's why he followed me to Mirror Lake late at night.

Seeing that his pause seemed to have attracted Zhou Zhi's attention, Perrin calmly pinched his palms and then replied, "No, I'm alone."

Zhou Zhi glanced at Perrin, seeming not to believe it.

His mental tentacles centered on himself and then spread out from the lake, as if he wanted to see if there was anyone else in the thick fog.

but……

No.

Zhou Zhi was not very satisfied with this result.

He seemed somewhat bored, and without saying anything more to Perrin, he strode out of the Mirror Lake.

This little incident somewhat affected his cheerful mood when he set out.

Zhou Zhi felt as if his heart was soaked by heavy rain.

The mood is damp and gloomy.

Originally, he was determined that the person who broke into the secret vault was Lu Chihuan, but now he couldn't help but doubt his own thoughts. Perhaps it was just because he missed Huanhuan so much that he couldn't help but pull everything onto him.

As if to create some connection.

But in fact--

Maybe Huanhuan was not in the palace at all.

Originally, Zhou Zhi came to this palace to find a reason to gather all the guests attending the banquet together, but now he feels that he is too impatient to do so.

If Huanhuan were really here.

It's very likely to scare him away.

In addition, it is already late at night and it will disturb Huanhuan's rest.

So why not wait a few more days.

Everyone will attend the royal banquet, and then...

Everything will be clear.

.

Wait until Zhou Zhi leaves.

Lu Chihuan slowly climbed out of the water, his thick eyelashes like crow feathers and fair skin were covered with water drops. He smiled shyly at Perrin not far away, "Perrin, I'm here."

He pretended to be timid and said weakly, "Just now I seemed to see the shadow of His Majesty the Emperor. I was frightened and lost my balance. As a result, I accidentally fell into the lake."

"Then I heard your voices and found that His Majesty the Emperor had really arrived."

"I dare not come up."

In fact.

Lu Chihuan was indeed shocked when he saw Zhou Zhi appear in person.

The Zhou Zhi in this world looked similar to the Zhou Zhi in the main world but with slight differences. Lu Chihuan was completely unprepared to meet him, so his first reaction was to run away.

He jumped into the water in a panic.

The cold lake water sobered him up a little, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed again.

wrong.

Why is he running?

Zhou Zhi wouldn't eat him either.

But now that they had already run away, Lu Chihuan was too embarrassed to appear in front of Zhou Zhi again, so he had no choice but to dive underwater and listen to Zhou Zhi's slightly cold questions from above the stone pillar.

Wait for someone to leave.

Only then did he dare to run out again.

Perrin didn't mind what he heard. He looked at the wet Lu Chihuan and took off his coat and gave it to him. "It's okay. I understand you."

"His Majesty is so scary when he has a cold face. Even I don't want to deal with him. And seeing how aggressive he was just now, I thought he wanted to punish me for sneaking into Mirror Lake. It's best if you don't come out."

talking.

He blinked his eyes at Lu Chihuan again and said, "When His Majesty the Emperor asked me just now, I didn't say anything."

Lu Chihuan smiled at him.

I was planning to say something, but as soon as I opened my mouth I sneezed a little.

"okay."

Perrin saw that Lu Chihuan's face was slightly pale, and he couldn't help but frowned worriedly, "Let's go back quickly, you go take a hot bath, don't catch a cold."

Lu Chihuan nodded obediently.

The two of them returned to the room like thieves. After taking a shower, Lu Chihuan blew his hair dry and then drank some medicine to prevent a cold in advance. The taste of the medicine was a bit strange.

He couldn't help but frown.

However, his mind couldn't help but think of the brown sugar ginger soup that Bo Cang cooked for him last time, which also tasted strange.

do not know……

Where is Bo Cang now?

I ran away in front of him at that time, and he must have been very angry. However, if he didn't run away, I don't know where he would be locked up by Bo Cang, and he might do some shameful things.

only hope……

Don’t meet Bo Cang on the main star this time.

Otherwise he won't be able to handle it.

Perhaps it was the effect of the medicine, so even though Lu Chihuan soaked in the lake for a few minutes, he did not show any signs of illness.

only.

Thinking of the encounter with Zhou Zhi at night, Lu Chihuan stayed in the room for two days, using the excuse of feeling unwell. He even had his meals delivered to his room by the servants.

He hasn't figured out yet what expression he should show or what he should say when he meets Zhou Zhi with this face.

but.

This made Perrin feel particularly guilty.

He felt that it was because he insisted on dragging Lu Chihuan to see the Mirror Lake that Lu Chihuan fell into the water and became unwell.

So in these two days.

Perrin frequently went to Lu Chihuan's room to visit him. When he came, he would not only bring some snacks, but also share the news he had heard. "...Isn't my third brother a patrol guard in the palace? I talked to him before."

"He told me that the Emperor did come back, apparently to deal with the theft in the secret vault of the imperial palace. It is said that..."

"The thief hasn't been caught yet."

Lu Chihuan was drinking water, and he couldn't help but choke and cough violently when he heard this.

His long, thick black eyelashes were wet, and his beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened a little, with a bit of surprise and innocence.

No.

Who is ruining his reputation!

He left without stealing anything.

But he finally understood why Zhou Zhi suddenly appeared in the palace. Lu Chihuan pricked up his ears and continued to listen to Perrin. "It's just that the emperor was too busy, so he left before he caught him."

"gone?!"

Lu Chihuan's face was full of confusion.

He couldn't tell whether he felt disappointed or relieved. He subconsciously scratched the corner of his clothes with his fingers and muttered to himself, "So he's gone."

Perrin shrugged.

"It is said that he will not attend this blind date party. If the protagonist does not come, we will probably have to play by ourselves."

talking.

He patted Lu Chihuan's shoulders a few times in a comforting manner, "Don't be too sad, I will introduce my brother to you when the time comes."

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Lu Chihuan refused several times.

But Perrin still looked very excited, and he was too embarrassed to make his friend sad, so he could only nod casually.

Time flies by.

Soon the day of the royal banquet arrived. The noble young men and women who came to attend the banquet basically dressed themselves up gorgeously. They did not yet know that Zhou Zhi had left the palace, so the topic they were discussing was how to attract the attention of His Majesty the Emperor.

Lu Chihuan wants to fit in.

So he changed into the white suit prepared for him by Marquis Nils.

He was originally handsome.

His facial features are somewhat androgynous, and his lips and teeth look even whiter in the white suit. His whole body is coated with a gentle and tranquil temperament like moonlight, which makes people yearn for him.

Perrin took a look.

He couldn’t help but hugged Lu Chihuan into his arms and rubbed him for a few times, “If I wasn’t an alpha, I would have chased you directly!”

"Too beautiful."

Lu Chihuan knew that Perrin was just teasing him verbally. He narrowed his eyes and smiled at Perrin, the dimple at the corner of his lips unconsciously deepening a little. "Okay."

"Let's go to the main hall first."

The palace where the royal banquet was held was several times larger than where they lived.

The solemn pilasters and beautiful gilding technique make the entire palace magnificent, while the statues with different expressions and the huge murals with delicate brushstrokes add a bit of splendor to the palace. At the end of the colorful marble steps are two crimson soft chairs inlaid with gems and gold.

An orchestra was invited to the palace.

Therefore, the melodious sounds of violin and piano were already heard.

The dessert table and long table not far away were filled with a wide variety of food, and the nearby waiters held trays filled with wine glasses filled with amber and crimson wine.

The nobles who entered the palace first had already started chatting, and some were even dancing on the dance floor.

They were adept at handling this kind of situation.

Originally, Lu Chihuan attended this banquet just for the sake of formality.

He didn't expect anything to really happen between him and a strange alpha or beta in such a social situation, so after greeting Perrin, he walked directly to the dessert table and sat down in an inconspicuous spot.

Then he ate the cake slowly.

What he has to do is -

It means reducing your own presence.

Then he would peacefully go through this royal banquet and then be sent out of the palace.

As for the energy that the world consciousness wants, it may not be in the palace or in Zhou Zhi's body, but this is not a big problem.

after all.

He just needs to look somewhere else.

First go to Lu Minghe to see if there are any items containing energy. His brother will definitely help him.

Just as Lu Chihuan was thinking about these things in his mind, he saw a slight commotion at the banquet. Zhou Zhi's mother, Mrs. Zhou, appeared at the banquet. She sat on the red soft chair inlaid with gems and gold.

Say hello to others.

Lu Chihuan looked carefully and found that Aunt Zhou in this world did not seem to have changed much compared to her in the main world.

She still looks beautiful and kind.

At this moment, she was saying something to the maid beside her, with a slightly gritted teeth look on her face, so she only stayed in the palace for a short time before leaving again.

Lu Chihuan took a bite of the cake out of boredom, and the soft cream melted in his mouth.

He pursed his lips.

There is no time to take the next action yet.

A tall figure loomed over him.
