MTL - I Heard That I Am a Scumbag, God of War Alpha-Chapter 69 reverse
Perhaps behind this, 408 and his brother are contributing to the flames.
But one of them is an AI with an innocent face, and the other is an extremely awkward brother. No matter how Zhuang Yan asked him, he didn't say anything.
Zhuang Yan felt as if being scratched by a kitten's paw, and looked at his Alpha with round eyes.
Chen E said, "Come here."
As he walked over, his wrist was pinched. Chen E stretched out his other hand to help Zhuang Yan straighten his clothes and messy hair.
"Don't think too much, Xiaoyan." Alpha's voice was low and his tone was light, "You deserve it."
A warm and sincere young man deserves such favoritism and kind treatment.
Zhuang Yan thought for a while: "No, I have to thank you."
Chen E hummed with a smile, and handed him the optical brain.
Except for Ms. Sun and Duan Yang, Zhuang Yan has their contact information for most of the people who have appeared in the video. He sent messages one by one, and after a while, ding ding replies sounded one after another.
Friends say-
"Why are you being polite, Xiao Yan, it's good that I can help you."
"Are you okay recently? Xiao Qin will stay at school during the holidays. If you are in a bad mood, let him treat you to dinner."
"That's right, eat something good and don't think too much."
In contrast, Xuan Yun's words were much more solemn. She said: "Thanks to you helping me out last time, I still remember. How are you these days? I... I was a little nervous in front of the camera, I hope I said something right."
Zhuang Yan quickly said, "No, no."
Xuan Yun: "The brave dog hooks its tail.gif."
The emoji was so cute, Zhuang Yan couldn't help laughing, and thanked him again.
Wen Xuan is supervising the progress of the construction of the teaching building every day. There are many things to do, a busy schedule, and there is still a time difference with the Central Star.
After a long time, she replied: "Well, let Chen E take care of you."
Zhuang Yan's face suddenly became hot, and Alpha found out that his expression was not right.
Chen E took the light brain away, glanced at it with lowered eyes, and returned it to Omega after finishing watching.
"You tell Aunt Wen, I know."
Zhuang Yan: "..."
This, what an embarrassment.
Ms. Sun lives far away, leaving her mother alone in Central Star. Because of the high attention paid to him recently, Zhuang Yan dared not go out to visit Grandma Sun, for fear of attracting reporters and disturbing the peace.
He asked 408 to help him buy a thank you card and health care products suitable for the elderly. After writing it, he delivered it together.
In the end, only Duan Yang remained.
Zhuang Yan was a little worried, and searched several times in the address book, but there was really no clue at all.
He tried to ask his brother, and Zhuang Jin smiled immediately: "You mean, that little guy who was not as tall as my chest back then? At that time, he was about to cry when I glanced at him. How could he exchange contact with me?" Way?"
Zhuang Yan: "..."
"Or, you can ask mom, maybe she still has it."
we can only do this.
Zhuang Yan asked Ning Huabi a question. Recently, Ning Huabi has been busy again, because after the destruction of the seventh planet in Cape Town, the planning of the entire region has to be readjusted. There are still endless meetings before a plan is proposed.
But when she was busy with work, she still came to chat with Zhuang Yan every few hours.
Zhuang Yan has been independent and sensible since she was a child. No matter what happens, in front of Ning Huabi, she is used to describing it lightly so as not to worry her mother.
When he was asked, his tone was very obedient: "It's not a big deal, and it's been so many years. Mom, don't worry, I have my brother and Chen E to help me."
Ning Huabi stared at her son tenderly.
Zhuang Yan vowed, and said: "So Mom, when you are free, help me find out Duan Yang's number, that is the greatest help."
Ning Huabi laughed: "Okay, I will definitely send it to you after I find it."
So the next night, Duan Yang received a friend request, and it was from a very familiar number that he even recited by heart.
He was eating hot pot with his roommates, and he couldn't help shaking his hands at that moment, almost putting his brains into the pot.
Fortunately, my roommate has quick eyesight and quick hands, and helped to fish it back. Duan Yang let out a long breath, and the old **** glanced at the numbers on the screen.
"What's wrong?" the roommate asked.
"nothing."
The roommate had disbelief written all over his face, Duan Yang raised his hair in bewilderment, and forced himself to say calmly: "Just, there is someone who insists on adding me as a friend."
"Isn't he a liar again? Wait, I'll scold him for you."
Duan Yang:? ? ?
"It's not a liar," he said, "You give me the optical brain first, and I will handle it myself."
With a regretful look, the roommate handed the optical brain back to Duan Yang. Duan Yang's expression was still unnatural, and he took it with his fingertips stiffly. The whole person is extremely careful, and it looks like fun.
The roommate teased him narrowly: "Hold it steady, if you drop it again, I might not be able to get it back."
"That's for sure!"
Duan Yang waited for his heart to beat, and couldn't help thinking wildly, could it be that the little senior brother saw that very shameful vlog...?
But I shouldn't have said anything inappropriate. Even the script has been reviewed by familiar teachers and classmates two or three times, and there should be no mistakes.
Or, the little senior brother just wants to chat casually?
The number on the optical brain is still there, Duan Yang is entangled, wants to see the situation of Zhuang Yan with his own eyes, but also feels that now is not a good time to contact - after all, he is still eating hot pot, so he is not calm at all!
After thinking about it, he finally planned to put the request away first, go back and wait for himself to be alone when he has time, and then slowly chat with Zhuang Yan.
No, wait.
...how things came to be like this.
His hands were still trembling, although he managed to hold the optical brain steady, but...
Why did my fingertip accidentally press the reject button!
The network signal at this moment is almost flying. Without giving Duan Yang any chance to regret it, he directly rejected Zhuang Yan.
Duan Yang: "..."
Heart as dead ashes.
After one accident after another, he gave up on himself and simply entered Zhuang Yan's number back and submitted a friend request from himself.
The other side passed quickly, and within a few seconds, Zhuang Yan's profile picture appeared in the contact list.
Duan Yang took a deep breath and said to his roommate: "I'll go out first and make a phone call."
Roommate: "Oh? Good."
He walked out of the hot pot restaurant with his head buried, and found a secluded place on the side of the street. Zhuang Yan's status changed to typing, but Duan Yang couldn't wait, and he wasn't in the mood to type slowly.
When the call request was pressed, the waiting tone sounded once, and the call was connected.
Zhuang Yan's tone was the same as when he was a child, with a hint of amiability.
"Duan Yang?"
Duan Yang hummed sullenly.
When he was a child, he eagerly called Xiaoshige, Xiaoyangege. After so many years now, at most he would yell behind Zhuang Yan's back, but he couldn't say anything in person.
For a long time, I only choked out a sentence: "I saw some news about you recently, are you okay?"
"fine."
"That's good."
Zhuang Yan said gently: "Thank you for speaking for me, too."
Duan Yang's ears were a little hot. He thought, it's over, he was still seen.
Duan Yang grabbed his messy hair and explained bluntly: "I just said a few words casually, and the manuscript was written with the help of a classmate. And you also participated in the competition, right? The main thing is... I hope you don't get too excited. Care about what those people say, don't be affected by the state. Anyway, it's fine."
After finishing speaking, I felt hopeless, because I didn't memorize the lines now, and I relied on improvisation, and my ability to organize language was pitifully poor.
But Zhuang Yan hummed, and asked with a smile: "By the way, do you want to get together when you have time? My mother still remembers you all these years."
"..."
"She kept boasting after watching your preliminary and final works, and asked me to learn more from you."
Duan Yang felt embarrassed: "Really?"
"of course it's true."
"But I think you should be better than me."
On the other end of the phone, Zhuang Yan started to laugh.
Duan Yang couldn't help but also laughed, and he wasn't so nervous anymore. He relaxed his back slightly and leaned against the wall.
"By the way, Zhuang Yan," Duan Yang said, "I'm at X University now."
"I know, it's written in your entry information."
"I skipped several levels before I caught up with you in the same class."
Zhuang Yan: "That's a coincidence, I almost repeated a grade a few years ago."
Duan Yang: "..."
We chatted casually for a few more words, and made an appointment to meet. Because Ning Huabi was busy with work, he didn't choose another location, so he made an appointment at the dealer.
Duan Yang suddenly asked: "By the way, I heard that you and your Alpha... seem to have a good relationship?"
Zhuang Yan said: "Yes."
There was a very small stone on the ground, Duan Yang looked down and didn't say anything for a long time.
"That's all very well," he said at last.
Because the wind was blowing outside for a long time, when Duan Yang went back, his roommate's eyes were full of resentment.
"Student Xiaoduan, if you don't come, I will finish eating myself."
"Here we come." Duan Yang said.
But the feeling of saying goodbye to the past was actually easier than expected. Duan Yang rinsed the hairy belly with chopsticks and ate it with dipping sauce.
The roommate tentatively asked, "Who did you just call?"
"Little brother."
Roommate: "...It really is him!"
Duan Yang's tone was subtle: "You guessed it?"
"Looking at your expression, it must be, who else is there besides him?" The roommate came over, "So how did the chat go?"
Xiao Duan thought for a while and said, "It's okay, he's fine, and I'm fine too."
He said lightly: "I'm going to find an opportunity to visit Teacher Ning. Then it's about the competition—the manuscript must be handed in before school starts, and we'll see if it's me or him who wins the championship."
"Then I will vote for you!"
Duan Yang smiled brightly.
The public opinion on Starnet is still fermenting.
Another article was published from the media, with a rather sensational title, "Counting the Holders of Kepler's Seventh Planet".
Just like the rich in ancient times often spent a lot of money to buy private islands, the famous families in the interstellar era often hold at least one planet in their hands.
Except for the main star of Kepler's seventh planet, which is owned by the alliance, the satellites numbered from a to g are all private assets. The writers set out from each planet and patiently cleared up the family background of each holder.
Once this article was published, it caused an uproar. After all, wealth and class are always the most eye-catching hot spots, and all users on social media are frantically reposting.
When people see—
Some holders have rich family backgrounds, and there are at least thirty asteroids on record.
Some holders have industries all over the galaxies, hoarding countless lands, just waiting for the federation to inject funds to develop them, so that they can benefit from it.
One of the most excessive families even deliberately turned the planet into a gray area wandering on the edge of the law to receive celebrities from the business and political circles.
Even the Chen family, which is relatively weak in financial resources, received several planets through political donations during the past campaign period.
...the only exception is the owner of Kepler 7c, Chen E.
Compared with the big families, his assets are pitifully small, and he doesn't own any company or shares under his name. This asteroid is also a relic left by my mother - and the ownership is still somewhat disputed, and the lawsuit with the Chen family is still in progress.
As a decision maker, he is also a victim.
Other people's losses are like a few drops of water spilled from a bowl, but Chen E seems to have smashed the whole bowl, almost becoming nothing.
Various voices of doubt surfaced on Starnet:
"The Federation also has a solid and generous compensation plan. Why are these people talking so loudly?"
"Chen E, who has the least assets and the most losses, has suffered the most blame. It is too absurd that the rich people who are really rich are crying and begging."
Then there were curious spectators who, through the big data platform, clearly revealed the interest relationship between the Chen family and Bian Liu.
Although the boundaries were clearly drawn, Chen Hongfei's wife, Bian Wei, invested a lot of blood for her younger brother through the company's shareholding. He even used means to help Bian Liu good several times in these years.
The court date is getting closer.
During that time, voices talking about this case could be heard everywhere on Starnet and in reality. Before the trial, Bian Liu called Bian Wei several times, asking his sister to help him.
"It wasn't your son's instigation, could I be here today? Sister, if you don't care, I don't guarantee that I will say anything."
Bian Wei asked anxiously, "How else can I manage this?"
"Let Congressman Chen put more pressure on you."
Bian Wei sighed, and even cried a little in her tone: "It's not like you don't know how much power I have in front of him... Sigh, I'll try with Xiao Ran, don't be impulsive."
But no matter how you talk about it, there is nothing you can do. Chen Hongfei was furious, but Chen Fuyu refused to enter.
"Mom," Chen Ran said, "Isn't uncle just a waste that can't be lifted up? It's been so many years, haven't you recognized it? Let him say what he wants to say. Anyway, at this time, no one will take it seriously." Listen. We might as well save our energy and deal with Dad's re-election campaign."
On the day of the trial, Bian Wei cried a lot and went out wearing sunglasses and a sun hat to hide her tears and sadness.
Bian Liu previously applied for a closed hearing, but Zhuang Yan rejected it. As a result, there were many people around the court, those who were watching, those watching the excitement, and the reporters who were waiting on the sidelines, preparing first-hand news.
She was alone in the corridor on the second floor and glanced out through the window.
About ten minutes before leaving the court, the Zhuang Banquet arrived. He was sent over by his own Alpha. Chen E stopped the hover car, went around to the other side, and helped open the door.
Many onlookers held up their cameras and phones to take pictures, and some even turned on the flash.
Chen E frowned, and glanced at the crowd indifferently.
Major General Alpha, whose blood has been tempered like a blade, has majestic and sharp eyes, and the pheromones carry a majestic sense of oppression.
The people standing in the front row took two steps back to make way for Chen E to protect Zhuang Yan and walk to the gate of the court.
Bian Wei stood by the window, dazed for a moment, as if seeing Xie Ruyun from more than 20 years ago.
Compared to Chen Hongfei, Chen E was indeed more like his own mother, with the same indifferent and proud expression on his brows and eyes.
She managed to beat Xie Ruyun, but Chen Ran, whom she cultivated carefully, lost to Xie Ruyun's son.
Unexpectedly, a crushing defeat.
Zhuang Banquet is also an audience.
The public prosecution case did not require him to go to court, so he sat on the chair in the front row and watched the exchange between the judge and the lawyer.
At first, Bian Liu glared at Chen E viciously, like a mad dog. But because the evidence submitted by Zhuang Yan to the procuratorate was quite conclusive, and the result of the court debate gradually turned to the side that was unfavorable to Bian Liu.
The fierce look on his face gradually faded.
During the adjournment, the audience stood up one after another.
Zhuang Yan was too lazy to move his position, so he leaned over and squeezed Chen E's fingertips.
Chen E's side face was serious, and he didn't even smile in his eyes. But where no one else could see, he quietly held Zhuang Yan's hand, and even exerted a little force, not giving Omega a chance to break free.
Zhuang Yan said: "It seems that there should be no suspense in the outcome of the trial."
"Almost, want to go back?"
Omega shook his head: "There's no rush, let's finish listening first."
Three minutes before the court session, the crowd slowly poured in again. There was a little noise nearby, Zhuang Yan approached and suddenly whispered in his ear.
"Chen E, can you be happier in the future?"
Breathing on the earlobe, Alpha remained silent, and the pinna of his ears began to turn red.
After two or three seconds, he said with difficulty: "There are a lot of people, don't make trouble."
Zhuang Yan hummed, raised his face obediently, and smiled at Chen E.
At the end of the trial in the afternoon, the judge announced that the sentence would be pronounced at another time—this was the greatest honor Bian Wei could win for Bian Liu.
Bian Liu was shaved, his hands were handcuffed together, and his expression was extremely ugly. He looked back at Bian Wei step by step, but was finally taken away by the bailiff.
Within five days, the verdict will be delivered.
Chen E stood up, lowered his eyes patiently and asked, "Shall I take you back?"
"Ok."
The parking lot was on the other side, and Chen E arranged Zhuang Yan in a low-key place on the side of the road, waiting for him to drive over.
After all, this place is not too far from the road that must be passed. Occasionally, pedestrians pass by and notice Zhuang Yan, and they can find that he is the protagonist of the recent turmoil.
Everyone is very kind.
There were even a few young girls, wearing masks, smiling at Zhuang Yan and making a cheering gesture.
Zhuang Yan also smiled at them.
Suddenly there was commotion not far away. Zhuang Yan was a little curious and looked over there.
It turned out that it was Bian Wei who came down slowly from the stairs of the courthouse, and was going to go back in her own car. As the sky was getting dark, she took off her sunglasses, and put a sun hat on her well-groomed bun.
But after walking two steps, she was recognized as Bian Wei's sister and Chen Hongfei's wife.
This is the gate of the court, and no one intends to do anything too impulsive. She was nothing more than being spat on a few times, and greeted with a few insults—
"It's really shameless."
"People like you should be hung on street lamps."
Bian Wei's face turned pale, and she hurriedly took a small step back, her slender back showed a bit of loneliness and helplessness.
But Zhuang Yan remembered that the words she used to humiliate Chen E back then were much harsher and more vicious than this.
He ignored it, turned around and walked back to the original place. The suspension car also arrived, Zhuang Yan opened the door and got in the car, the co-pilot sat down and put on his seat belt.
"Chen E."
One-sided glass blocks the view from the outside. In the quiet carriage, Chen E pressed the back of Omega's neck, leaned over and kissed him.
