To prevent any unexpected incidents, before coming to the Gu family this time, Chaoning had already asked his teacher for leave. He doesn't need to go to school these two days, and as for the tasks in the laboratory, he has also asked his senior fellow students for help. Therefore, he can settle down and adapt to the Gu family during these two days without any worries.

However, he would be very bored.

Although Gu Xiangnan did not chat with him in the courtyard for a long time the previous night, he still felt a bit stuffy nose when he woke up in the morning.

In theory, Alpha's constitution is the best among the three types of people: Alpha, Beta, and Omega. However, Chao Ning is an exception. His mother is a commoner Omega. Although it is relatively easy for commoners to produce high-quality Alphas, there are very few high-quality Omegas because the Omega constitution is delicate and requires a good living environment to nurture high-quality individuals. Alpha and Omega of equivalent aptitude might give birth to high-quality Alphas, but when high-quality Alphas mate with ordinary Omegas, the genetic disparities can result in offspring of lower quality compared to their parents, especially during the differentiation into Alphas.

Zhao Ning is a perfect example of the combination of strengths and weaknesses in an average, ordinary member of the masses. Of course, he may be slightly more peculiar, as no one could be worse than him. An Alpha who can't even induce an Omega's heat with pheromones, who could be worse than him.

So it doesn't matter to him whether he marries or is married, as he is disabled.

Chao Ning rummaged through his backpack and found some medication for treating common colds. He took two pills before heading downstairs.

It was a typical weekday, so the Gu family's residence seemed somewhat quiet. The servants and household staff, who should have been occupied with their duties, appeared to have finished their work early and were now basking in the sun, engaging in casual conversations in the courtyard. After all, warm sunshine in winter was indeed a rare occurrence, especially in this era.

In the kitchen, breakfast was available, and Chao Ning went to get a portion for himself, intending to eat it in his room. Just as he turned around, he caught sight of Bai Yueguang, who lived next door to Gu Xiangnan, descending from the other side of the upstairs. He casually glanced over and realized that this Bai Yueguang resided right adjacent to Gu Xiangnan.

"Wow, this location is great."

Chao Ning didn't feel jealous, he just wanted to gossip. He was curious about the background of this tea-haired young man, as well as his romantic experiences with Gu Xiangnan. Who knows, maybe it would be as exciting as a novel? When he wasn't engaged in academic research, he particularly enjoyed reading those novels with intense love stories.

"Awesome."

The possibilities in real life maybe even more exciting.

Unintentionally, he had been staring at the person for quite some time without realizing it.

"Morning, Young Master?" The tea-haired youth had already walked up to him. "Is there something on my face?"

It must be said that the young man's temperament is quite gentle, unlike that delicate and coquettish Omega he has encountered. He can understand why female Omegas act coquettish, but he cannot comprehend why male Omegas would do the same. After all, before their differentiation into an Omega, they were originally straightforward and manly, weren't they?

He still found it comfortable to look at an Omega like the tea-haired youth.

"No, I was just lost in thought. I'm sorry if I offended you," Ning said, bowing his head slightly.

The tea-haired youth smiled and openly admired Chao Ning's face, "No problem. Who doesn't like beautiful things? I do too."

Chao Ning: "...Uh, yeah."

"I am Shen Xi, an Omega, and a commoner," Shen Xi extended her hand. "Nice to meet you."

Chao Ning, following the principle of respecting the difference in Alpha-Omega dynamics and the sacredness of Omega with a mate, gently squeezed Shenshi's hand and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

He was just about to release his hand but realized that his attempt to let go had failed...

He was tightly grasped by Shen Xi.

His eyebrows raised, and a multitude of scenarios from those exaggerated romance novels instantly flashed through his mind. For instance, the protagonist Omega may appear to have feelings for the male lead, but in reality, she had long been scheming to win over the second male lead. Or perhaps the protagonist Omega had a habit of cuckolding the male lead, especially when it came to his close friend whom she liked. Furthermore, the protagonist Omega could be cunning, deliberately seducing others to make her love rival back down…

"The last one seems to be more appropriate."

Ning Xin's heart tightened as she glanced towards Gu Xiangnan's room upstairs.

Shen Xi looked at Chao Ning with curiosity and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Ning: "Mr Gu is not here, right?"

Shen Xi: "Why are you asking about him?"

Zhao Ning: "It's nothing, just calculating how many seconds it will take for the enemy to reach the battlefield. I'll decide when to flee so that the damage inflicted upon me is minimized."

Shen Xi: "Hmm?"

"I'm hungry. Let's go upstairs and have a meal, Shen... Young Master," Chao Ning didn't waste any more time, forcefully pulling her hand out and without looking back, she ran upstairs.

Shen Xi turned around and lazily crossed his arms, his gaze fixed on Chao Ning.

"It's quite interesting."
