Chapter 43.1 - Promised Expedition
T/N: The next half of this chapter will be out in 2 weeks! -k
Iman stayed in a hotel near St. Romia Military Academy for a week and invited Ludwig to dinner every day.
However, after experiencing one seafood dinner with him, Ludwig never dared accept a second time.
He was a little overwhelmed by this bold omega who could say lines like “I hope take the initiative to mark and hold me.” Ludwig’s perception of omegas was completely subverted, and he was even a little afraid of Iman.
So when Iman asked him to eat again, Ludwig refused decisively: “Sorry, I want to eat in the cafeteria by myself.”
As a result, these days, he would “coincidentally” run into Iman on campus.
Iman applied to enter the school as Luo Fei’s friend and came to see Luo Fei every day at noon, so he would “coincidentally” meet Ludwig during various occasions. Seeing his smiling eyes, Ludwig’s scalp would go numb, and he would immediately turn and walk away.
At noon that day, the two “met” again in the cafeteria.
Seeing Ludwig sitting on the window seat with a plate, Iman also walked over to sit opposite him with the plate, and said cheekily, “What a coincidence.”
Ludwig raised his eyebrows in displeasure: “It’s not a coincidence, is it?”
Iman asked, “Do you hate me? Why do you hide when you see me these days?”
Ludwig said coldly: “That’s right.”
Not only was Iman not angry, but he smiled and said: “It’s okay, you might hate me now, but maybe you will like me in the future. I will work hard to pursue you.”
Ludwig turned around and walked away with the plate in his hand… as if he were frightened.
Seeing this scene, Luo Fei endured the internal injuries from laughing too hard with a smile, walked over, and sat opposite Iman. “Did you say something and scare him? He’s avoiding you now.”
Iman bent his eyes and smiled happily: “He’s just shy. After all, he has never been in close contact with an omega, and I was a little bolder and said some explosive things to him.”
Luo Fei asked curiously, “What did you say?”
Iman said: “I told him that I like him and want to throw him down, but I will not use force on him. I hope he will really like me and take the initiative to mark me.”
Luo Fei almost spewed the water out his mouth.
No wonder Ludwig looked lost when he returned to the dormitory after having dinner with Iman that day. He was probably shocked by Iman, and had his world view completely subverted. Even his walking gait was a bit strange. Growing up in a military family, Ludwig’s style of conduct was relatively strict, and he probably never imagined an omega would say to him: ‘I want to throw you down.’
Thinking of the picture of Ludwig’s stiff posture, Luo Fei couldn’t help laughing. “You aren’t just bold, in Ludwig’s view, you’re simply shameless.”
“So what?” Iman shrugged. “If you like someone, you should take the initiative to pursue them. If you’re too shy to wait for the other person to chase, how long will it take?”
“Makes sense.” Luo Fei gave him a thumbs up.
Iman laughed and said, “Thank you for helping me this time. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be able to be here. Tell me, what gift do you want?”
Looking around to see that no one was paying attention to them, Luo Fei leaned close to Iman’s ear and whispered, “I’ll chase Ludwig for you, and you chase Mo Han for me.”
Iman was stunned: “Who? Who are you chasing?”
Luo Fei smiled and said, “Mo Han.” The two words were clearly pronounced.
This time, it was Iman who almost spewed out water. He coughed desperately for a long time before he recovered his breath and looked at Luo Fei with wide eyes.
“What are you talking about? You want to chase Mo Han? He’s an alpha!”
Luo Fei made a “shush” gesture: “Be quiet.”
Iman nodded immediately, and said softly, “Are you kidding? Do you really like Mo Han?”
“That’s right.” Luo Fei’s eyes were serious and gentle. “Although I’ve only known him for a short time, I just like him. He gives me the most special feeling. Every time I am with him, I am happy. I am very happy. So, I want to chase him and make him like me too.”
“…” Iman stared blankly at Luo Fei, as if looking at a monster.
Luo Fei’s expression was very calm. “Of course, he is an alpha, and there will be other obstacles as well. But it doesn’t matter, no matter how difficult it is, I will find a way to overcome them for him. Whether he is an alpha or an omega is irrelevant in my eyes. It doesn’t matter – what I like is him, not his pheromones or marking.”
Luo Fei took a sip of water from his cup and said calmly: “I think physical marks are far inferior to spiritual compatibility. I only have one criterion for finding a partner, that is, I have to like him, and Mo Han is my favorite person.”
Iman was stunned to hear Luo Fei say so much. He came back to his senses after a while and slapped his thigh hard. “Dang, Luo Fei, you’ve really grown up!”
“Otherwise? You still think I’m a child?” Luo Fei raised his eyebrows.
Iman said with a smile: “In my impression, you are indeed a child protected by your father. However, after hearing what you said just now, I realized that you’ve really grown up and become a responsible person. A man.”
Iman looked at Luo Fei seriously, and said: “You want to pursue the person you like, make them happy, and aren’t afraid of the difficulties in your way. What you said makes sense – spiritual compatibility is far more important than physical marks. Mo Han is indeed excellent, there is nothing wrong with you liking him. I support you very much!”
Luo Fei knew that with Iman’s personality, he would not have too many worldly concepts. He himself is an omega who likes to actively chase people, so he certainly won’t mind that Luo Fei likes alpha. Luo Fei smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice, “Only Luo Ning knows about this matter, and now you know about it too. Remember to keep it a secret for me.”
“No problem!” Iman is usually careless, but he will not mess around at crucial times. Luo Fei only told him this secret because he understood his personality.
“Since Mo Han came to the military academy last time, he hasn’t actively contacted me since. I don’t want to contact him too often either and dislike me. Let him calm down for a while, and I will go to school to find him. At that time, can you help me find out where he likes to go? After all, you and him have a good relationship, and he also likes to chat with you about mechs.”
“Okay.” Iman patted his chest proudly. “Leave this matter to me!”
***
Mo Han has been very busy recently, because he received an email after he returned to school saying that his graduation thesis failed in the review stage.
The review system for Hermann University is very strict. The name of the author and supervisor will not appear in the paper during the blind review stage. When professors review theses, they do not know who the student is, so most professors will review it very objectively. Mo Han’s thesis was sent to five professors for review, four of them gave him scores of more than 90 points, but one had a different idea and did not give a score, saying that there was not enough evidence and asked him to revise and resubmit.
The school has regulations that all five experts must pass the thesis before students can enter the defense stage. Because of this, Mo Han was unable to graduate in advance.
When Frank heard the news, he couldn’t help complaining: “Your thesis is so good. If you fail, how will I be able to graduate smoothly?!”
Kathleen said: “Aren’t the rules too strict? Can’t those professors show mercy and let you pass?”
Mo Han didn’t think so, because he read the professor’s opinion carefully. What the other party said was also very reasonable, and it wasn’t as if they were trying to embarrass him on purpose.
Despite his friends arguing on his behalf, Mo Han himself said calmly: “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, the professor’s opinion is to let me add more data and revise it. It doesn’t mean my thesis is unqualified. If I change it again, it will only delay my graduation a few more months.”
Frank held his forehead with a headache. “No wonder there are so many people who are stuck in the graduation stage every year. I heard that a senior stayed in school for three years before meeting the requirements and graduating smoothly. Really abnormal!”
Mo Han said: “Hermann University has always been lenient in entry and strict in exit. This is also beneficial. At least, those who successfully graduate will not be wastes.”
As they walked out after lunch, suddenly there was a familiar voice behind them: “Mo Han? Did you eat here too?”
It was Iman and the Second Prince Luo Ning.
The school’s big cafeteria is cheap, but there are too many students and it is not convenient to talk about certain things. The small restaurants are expensive, but the environment is very good, and the private rooms are soundproofed. People who want to chat about things usually meet in this small restaurant with private rooms. Iman happened to go out to eat with Luo Ning today, and they ran into Mo Han and his friends again.
