Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

After a few lessons on mecha theory, what was bound to happen still happened.

The moment Yin Zhaoshu stepped into the classroom, she saw many people standing on the podium.

Standing in the very center was a woman with a stern face. Dressed in military uniform, she exuded righteousness and authority, commanding respect from the mere presence of her.

Judging by his rank, he is a general.

Yin Zhaoshu wondered why someone of such a high rank would come to the school.

Standing beside the female general were several of her former mecha theory teachers, as well as several other soldiers in military uniforms.

The classroom was quiet, an atmosphere that was not usually present before class.

Xie Sichen, who was following closely behind Yin Zhaoshu, was about to step into the classroom when she looked up and met General Xie's gaze.

The step she had taken was abruptly reversed; before she could even run away, she was stopped by Yin Zhaoshu's low question.

"what happened?"

Xie Sicen is now caught between a rock and a hard place, unable to decide whether to run away or stay.

So, steeling himself, he stepped into the classroom, bracing himself against Xie Yuan's gaze. "...It's nothing."

Just as Xie Yuan was about to walk past the podium, she noticed Xie Sicen pretending not to recognize her, and her eyebrows twitched slightly.

"I taught you that?"

Xie Sichen knew that Xie Yuan didn't mean she hadn't greeted her, but rather that she hadn't greeted the teachers who had taught the theory courses at each stage.

"Hello, teachers."

The teachers all smiled kindly and readily agreed.

He also took the opportunity to praise General Xie for his effective teaching, saying that Xie Sicen usually respected his teachers and was united with his classmates.

Xie Sicen thought to herself that the whole school already knew about the fight, so there was no point in praising her for being so united with her classmates; it was rather awkward.

Yin Zhaoshu was still in a daze when he sensed something was wrong, but when he heard General Xie's name, he vaguely felt that something was amiss.

Xie Yuan's expression was indifferent, but she mentioned it briefly when Xie Sicen was about to leave.

"Your mom misses you a lot when you go home for the holidays."

"Oh..." Xie Sicen had planned to go home as soon as Xie Yuan came to school, and Xie Yuan didn't say he was going back either.

After Xie Sicen sat down, he saw Yin Zhaoshu staring at him without saying a word.

Xie Sichen grinned. She hadn't said anything before because she didn't want to put pressure on Yin Zhaoshu, but there was no point in keeping it a secret now.

So Jian Dan whispered to Yin Zhaoshu, "Don't be surprised. General Xie Yuan is my alpha mother. She can really hurt people when she beats them. Stay away from her."

"..." Yin Zhaoshu remained silent in response to this introduction. "Beating someone really hurts," was Xie Sicen's heartfelt description.

On stage, Xie Yuan glanced at her little one, who was practically glued to an alpha talking to him, and frowned.

Are you in a relationship? She looks good, but looks alone aren't enough.

Xie Yuan only has Xie Sicen as her son, so she has to be outstanding in every aspect when choosing someone.

His gaze turned slightly cold, and when he looked at Yin Zhaoshu again, it became more scrutinizing.

This lesson mainly introduced how General Xie led a team to help them with simulated combat training, and the relevant procedures for the military to select outstanding personnel through examinations. Of course, the final exam was also conducted according to standards set by General Xie.

Most of the students in the class were excited. Who wouldn't want to join the army? Alphas had all dreamed of owning mechs. The Empire's mechs were strictly controlled, and even money couldn't guarantee you could get one.

How cool it would be to fly a mecha in the military!

Xie Sichen and Yin Zhaoshu were called away before they even left the classroom after class. Xie Sichen had told Yin Zhaoshu that she thought she would be late, but the soldier who came to deliver the message said that the two of them should go together.

Xie Sicen froze. Why was Xie Yuan looking for Yin Zhaoshu?

Yin Zhaoshu noticed his nervousness and held Xie Sicen's hand, saying, "Don't worry."

Xie Sicen licked her lips; it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.

"You're not going to skip beating me and beat you up instead, are you? Can you take a beating?"

Yin Zhaoshu paused, "Perhaps?"

Xie Sicen thought she had to protect Yin Zhaoshu, after all, he was the one who brought this disaster upon him.

"It's okay, it's okay. If you can't take a beating, I'll shield you."

The group met, each with their own thoughts. Xie Yuan was alone in the office. Xie Sichen and Yin Zhaoshu entered and the door closed behind them.

The guards outside the door were all Xie Yuan's personal soldiers.

Xie Yuan got close and could smell Xie Sicen's scent directly. She was displeased with Yin Zhaoshu's act of asserting his dominance by putting his scent on his own child.

This stems from the repulsion of pheromones by fellow alphas.

General Xie, his brows furrowed, spoke first, "Not going to introduce them?"

"Yin Zhaoshu, my boyfriend."

As soon as Xie Sicen finished speaking, Yin Zhaoshu greeted her.

"Greetings, General Xie."

Xie Yuan snorted coldly, "You've really grown bold. Fighting at school, and now you're dating."

"I had a legitimate reason for fighting. Those people were bullying my classmate, so I had to stand up for them. It's also time for me to start dating, and I'm not dating too early."

Xie Yuan sneered. How could she not know what Xie Sicen was thinking?

"Are you the type to meddle in other people's business? Should we go home and have a ritual performed to exorcise the evil spirits?"

"..." Xie Sicen was speechless.

Xie Yuan has a really sharp tongue. She's implying that if she meddled in other people's business, she'd definitely be possessed. Otherwise, given Xie Sichen's personality, she'd avoid things that don't concern her and never get involved.

"So if they bully my boyfriend, am I not allowed to protect him? If you saw your mother being bullied, could you just stand by and do nothing?"

"If your boyfriend were a delicate omega, I'd support you in standing up for your lover. If he were a beta, I wouldn't say anything either. But an alpha, besides covering you in pheromones, will just hide behind a beta. You'll have to shoulder everything from now on? If you're so capable, why go after him?"

Xie Yuan's contemptuous tone made Xie Sichen very unhappy.

"I'll hold on, I'm willing to hold on. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be happy. My willingness is priceless, I only want him, not anyone else."

"Also, Yin Zhaoshu is quite capable; he just used to disdain arguing with those alphas."

Xie Yuan was amused and annoyed by Xie Sicen's siding with outsiders. The little brat she and Wen Xianling had raised with great difficulty had been bewitched by a useless alpha.

Xie Yuan raised her chin at Yin Zhaoshu, "Let me see how amazing you are."

When Xie Sicen saw that Xie Yuan was about to fight Yin Zhaoshu, how could she not stop her?

Those who have trained can't beat Xie Yuan, and Yin Zhaoshu who hasn't trained will definitely only get beaten up.

Xie Sicen, who had been standing in front of Yin Zhaoshu, was pulled to his side by Yin Zhaoshu's wrist and said respectfully to Xie Yuan, "I humbly request the general's guidance."

"Just because you dare to fight, I have to think highly of you."

Xie Yuan re-examined Yin Zhaoshu and finally found some aspects of him pleasing to the eye.

So, Xie Sichen, who couldn't stop her, could only watch helplessly as Xie Yuan got a beating from Yin Zhaoshu.

Yin Zhaoshu's level is already outstanding among students, but it is simply not good enough for the army.

Without practice, the difference is more than just a little bit.

Fortunately, Xie Yuan didn't slap him in the face. Even after being beaten down by Yin Zhaoshu, she still looked at Yin Zhaoshu with appreciation.

This little guy, who has never trained, has such skill and resilience. He can get up again and again under her weight, which shows that his perseverance and tenacity far surpass those of others.

She has great potential. If she's really sent to the army for a few years of training, she won't be inferior to Xie Yuan's son.

Xie Sicen helped Yin Zhaoshu up with heartache, letting Yin Zhaoshu lean on him, and complained to Xie Yuan before leaving.

"Mother, you hit me too hard on our first meeting."

"Is this heavy? If you want my son, Xie Yuan, you should give up long ago if you don't have the weight." Xie Yuan said this while staring at Yin Zhaoshu.

Yin Zhaoshu reluctantly looked up at Xie Yuan with a determined gaze and replied with difficulty, "I will not give up."

Xie Yuan smiled, her smile still arrogant and disdainful. "How long can you hold out? I'll wait and see."

Xie Sichen helped Yin Zhaoshu to the infirmary, and then asked for leave to go home to apply the medicine and let Yin Zhaoshu lie down.

"Why did you decide to fight my mother? There are hardly any soldiers who can beat her. I've seen people eager to pick up money, but I've never seen anyone eager to get beaten up."

Seeing Xie Sicen's angry yet distressed expression, Yin Zhaoshu smiled and replied, "Well, I saw her today."

"Oh, are you deliberately trying to annoy me?" Xie Sicen glared at Yin Zhaoshu, trying to scare him.

Yin Zhaoshu immediately offered a way out, saying, "No, I need to make General Xie take notice of me before I'm qualified to be with you."

"I'll give you the qualifications, isn't that enough?"

Yin Zhaoshu slowly shook his head.

"I want to become your legal spouse. I have to get past General Xie; there's no point in hiding."

Xie Sicen was speechless, and finally said irritably, "You're just asking for a beating."

Yin Zhaoshu chuckled softly, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter how difficult it is. I know you won't let me lose, and I won't keep you waiting too long."

Yin Zhaoshu's recovery ability is not bad. It is unknown whether it is due to his alpha physique or because he was bullied a lot in the past and has a high self-healing value.

The fact that he could resume his normal daily activities after just one day of rest made Xie Sicen realize that she had underestimated Yin Zhaoshu, who hadn't even joined the army yet.

The other party is not someone to be underestimated, not just since leaving school, but from childhood to adulthood; it's just that there has never been an opportunity to unleash his potential and make Yin Zhaoshu shine.

Xie Sichen told Ruan Xihe that Yin Zhaoshu was unable to work part-time due to an injury. Ruan Xihe immediately told Yin Zhaoshu to focus on recovering and that the shop was fine.

Final exams are approaching, and everyone is busy studying for them.

Only the unlucky ones who chose the mecha course were busy cramming on the theory and using the simulation access granted by the course to practice mecha in the simulator.

Xie Sichen used to play these games at home quite often, mostly with Xie Yuan, so she never lost in class.

Xie Yuan was afraid that Xie Sichen would become arrogant, so she even practiced with him in private.

Dejected, Xie Sicen left the warehouse and sought comfort from Yin Zhaoshu, making Xie Yuan want to kick her own little brat.

After comforting Xie Sicen for a while, Yin Zhaoshu asked Xie Yuan, "I also want to play a game with the general."

Seeing that Yin Zhaoshu was truly unafraid of setbacks, Xie Yuan re-entered the warehouse. Yin Zhaoshu's strength was even inferior to Xie Sicen's, and the fight was even more miserable and difficult.

The result was undoubtedly a crushing defeat for Yin Zhaoshu.

To Xie Yuan's surprise, Yin Zhaoshu's virtual mecha was extremely damaged and beyond repair. Under such circumstances, it was not something an ordinary person could do to operate the mecha and persevere.

Both of them suffered defeats, and Xie Sichen went home and dragged Yin Zhaoshu out for drinks.

Xie Sichen couldn't get drunk, but because things weren't going well for her, she wanted to find something to cheer herself up. So, under the guise of drinking, she wanted to do something else with Yin Zhaoshu.

Yin Zhaoshu hadn't drunk too much and thought Xie Sicen was drunk, so he helped her onto the bed and prepared to get a towel to wipe her down.

Unexpectedly, Xie Sichen suddenly pulled him forcefully from the bedside, and Yin Zhaoshu was still a little dazed when he was pinned to the bed.

0561 immediately retreated from the scene and returned to the system space.

It wasn't until Xie Sichen's hand touched something she shouldn't have that Yin Zhaoshu suddenly realized what Xie Sichen was about to do.

"You're drunk. Be good and don't move around. You'll regret it when you sober up."

Yin Zhaoshu's patient persuasion and forbearance made Xie Sicen want to laugh.

Who regrets it? Only the one who gets slept with is likely to regret it.

Xie Sichen had also thought about something: Yin Zhaoshu was clearly a person with great potential, and if she didn't get him quickly, she would probably miss her chance later.

After Xie Sicen undressed Yin Zhaoshu, she kissed him fiercely, her hands roaming haphazardly over his body.

Yin Zhaoshu felt his lips go numb from being sucked. After being probed into his mouth, Xie Sichen's tongue skillfully entwined with his, and the exchange of saliva made his passion surge uncontrollably.

After Xie Sicen withdrew her lips and tongue, she gently kissed Yin Zhaoshu's eyebrows and eyes.

When she spoke again, Xie Sicen's voice was hoarse.

"Boyfriend, can I do this to you? I can't take it anymore."

As she spoke, Xie Sicen nuzzled against Yin Zhaoshu, who stiffened instantly upon feeling Xie Sicen's enthusiasm.

I woke up with a start, pushing him while asking incredulously.

Did you do this to me?

Xie Sicen leaned pitifully against Yin Zhaoshu, refusing to budge no matter how much he pushed her.

"I'm afraid of pain, can you let me have my way?"

"I……"

"Didn't you say you didn't mind that I'm a beta? Alphas are always on top, whoever is stronger is on top. You don't want to sleep with me because I'm not an alpha. You still mind my gender, don't you?"

Xie Sichen's series of rhetorical questions sounded like aggrieved accusations, which made Yin Zhaoshu fall into a state of confused self-blame.

Yin Zhaoshu originally thought he wasn't drunk, but now he's confused due to the alcohol.

“I don’t mind, I don’t mind your gender… I accept whatever you are.”

Xie Sichen blinked in confusion, "Then why won't you accept me? It hurts so much right now."

"I'm an alpha, so give me some time to prepare. I..."

"It hurts so much, touch me." Xie Sicen grasped Yin Zhaoshu's hand and let Yin Zhaoshu touch her. Yin Zhaoshu was still a little confused.

The logic of "whoever is stronger should be on top" is correct, but something feels off, though I can't quite put my finger on it.

Xie Sichen's low panting made Yin Zhaoshu even more aroused, and the two became increasingly passionate.

Limited to mutual assistance, Xie Sicen ultimately failed to achieve her goal.

The next day, Xie Sicen acted as if nothing had happened, leaving Yin Zhaoshu at a loss for what to do.

Therefore, Xie Sicen wanted to sleep with him.

He also wanted to sleep with Xie Sicen, but now the pheromone suppression was useless against Xie Sicen, who was far superior to him in terms of martial arts skills.

This is not something that can be turned around with a short period of extra training.

Fortunately, with the final exams approaching, Xie Sicen didn't bring it up again. But after the other theoretical exams were finished, only the mecha simulation test remained without a scheduled time.

So this period of free time has become a bit too much.

One day, Xie Sicen shyly told Yin Zhaoshu that she wanted to take things further with him.

Yin Zhaoshu, being an alpha, found it somewhat unacceptable, but Xie Sicen said that as long as Yin Zhaoshu could beat him, he wouldn't object from below.

When the two actually fought, Yin Zhaoshu had no chance at all.
