Zhan Yue continued pestering Xu Nuo for the whole morning until Xu Nuo finally agreed to make him fresh flower pastries for lunch, and only then did Zhan Yue satisfactorily leave.

Bai Huile enjoyed her leisure time and quickly made plans to go out and play cards with her sisters, indicating that she wanted to play all day long. She instructed Xu Nuo to take care of Zhan Yue while she was away.

Therefore, Promise hurriedly made fresh flower-shaped cakes, watched Zhanyue finish eating, and then sent him to a physical training class before returning home. Exhausted, she collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move.

It's really not easy being both a chef and a nanny at the same time.

However, he did not want to sleep. He lay quietly for a while and then got up and left the room.

Xu Nuo didn't call the driver and walked alone on the street, treating it as a leisurely stroll.

Occasionally, there were passing pedestrians who stared at him endlessly, but he completely ignored them.

And so, he continued walking until he reached the entrance of an "O Bar".

In this bustling city, there is a mixed bar that anyone can enter and exit freely, as well as a "A Bar" specifically for alpha to drink, and equally, there is a "O Bar" specifically for omega to drink. However, it is more accurate to say that the O Bar is a cafe with elegant decoration. Soft music plays from the sound system, and on the plush sofa, you can occasionally see a small and adorable omega nestled inside, softly speaking or earnestly reading a book.

Xu Nuo stood in front of the entrance of "O Bar" for a while, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to go in.

The atmosphere of Bar O was too quiet and gentle, lacking the hustle and bustle and vibrancy that a bar should have, which he did not like.

Just as he was contemplating whether or not to explore another place, a voice sounded in his ear:

"Not going in?"

He turned his head and what caught his eye was a face that was neither clearly male nor female, extremely beautiful and enchanting—a very attractive omega.

"No, thanks," Xunuo shook her head, "I won't go."

The unfamiliar omega stared at him for two seconds, as if seeing through his thoughts, and suddenly smiled. "There's a new bar upstairs, because you have to pass through O Bar, so there are a lot of people. Do you want to come and take a look here?"

"...Okay."

Many years later, Xu Nuo still sighed with deep emotion when recalling this moment, "Fate, how did I happen to meet you at just the right time?"

Ji Anze sat comfortably on the sofa and absentmindedly played with the jade piece that Ji Lin had brought for her. She casually said, "I just opened the upstairs lounge. If it weren't for you looking so well-off in your clothes and having a decent face, do you think I, a young master, would bother talking to you?"

Promise: "......"

Of course, these are all stories for another time.

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ji Ance.

"Hello, my name is Xu Nuo." Xu Nuo smiled at Ji Ance and followed him through the antique spiral staircase. As they reached the second floor, it felt like stepping into a whole new world.

The dark and stylish decoration style, the dazzling yet not glaring revolving chandelier, and the wine glasses radiating a colorful light under the illumination, everything was perfect.

Xunuo genuinely praised with admiration from the bottom of her heart, "The decoration is really well done."

"Really?" Ji Ance raised an eyebrow. "Your taste is not bad for once. I'll treat you to a drink." After saying that, without waiting for a refusal or agreement, he walked straight to the bar counter and snapped his fingers at the robot. "Two glasses of Ghost Beach."

Xu Nuo had no choice but to follow along and glanced at the price list. His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he muttered, "It's quite expensive."

"Okay, so I'll ask you this time, just this once. This round is on me." Ji Ance took the glass and handed it to Xu Nuo, then gestured towards the nearby sofa with a raised eyebrow. "Sit for a while, let's chat."

Watching his carefree and relaxed appearance, Xunuo couldn't help but smile.

This person is quite interesting.

"Why are you laughing?" Ji Anze lay on the sofa, sighed, "It's still early in the day, not many people around. The real excitement happens at night. That's when it becomes intoxicating, the alpha's scent almost makes my legs go weak."

His blunt and crude words made Xu Nuo's face flush slightly: "So thirsty?"

"Yeah, hungry and thirsty," Ji Anze licked his lips and casually asked, "Are you married?"

Xu Nuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, it was a couple of days ago."

"Oh, you're really married!" Ji Anze suddenly straightened up, his eyes shining as he looked at Xu Nuo, eagerly asking, "No mark?"

Xu Nuo: "...Not yet, he went to war." Seeing that Ji Ance seemed like he wanted to ask more questions, he hurriedly interrupted him, "What about you, have you gotten married?"

"No," Ji Anze's expression suddenly changed when the matter was mentioned. There was a hint of a smirk in his eyes, mixed with a sense of satisfaction. Deep down, there was also a touch of bitterness. "But I have a lover. He went to the battlefield too." As he spoke, he glanced down at his smartwatch. "I wrote him a letter before, it should have arrived by now. But he definitely won't reply. Alphas are not good people."

"Write a letter?"

"Yeah, how else would you establish a connection?" Ji Anze patted Xunuo on the shoulder. "Video calls? I don't like them. Anyway, I prefer writing letters. You can do that too."

After a brief moment of consideration, Xunuo smiled and replied, "Hmm, I also enjoy writing letters." Pausing for a moment, he continued, "You're right, Alpha is not a good person."

The two of them hit it off instantly and astonishingly discovered that they shared many similar viewpoints and had many common questions. Engaged in conversation, they were completely oblivious to the passage of time.

As the sky gradually darkened, the bar became more crowded. Xunuo stood up and said, "Thank you for treating me to drinks. I'm going home now. I'll treat you next time."

Ji Ance didn't try to stop him either, lazily waving his hand, "Goodbye, goodnight."

Both of them did not exchange contact information. In contrast to a long-term friendly relationship, they seemed to prefer the feeling of chance encounters.

Xu Nuo hailed an automated TAXI and headed home, but on the way, he stopped by a bookstore and purchased some stationery.

Sorry, but it seems like you haven't provided the Chinese novel paragraph that you want me to translate. Please provide the text, and I'll be happy to help you with the translation.

Zhan Chen sat in front of his desk, with all sorts of battlefield intelligence laid out in front of him. Behind him, the Imperial emblem hung tall, while his eyebrows furrowed in a knot.

After a long while, he leaned back on the chair, tiredly rubbing his forehead and answered an internal call, "Hello? What? My mail? In this day and age, who still writes letters... Never mind, send it in."

As soon as the words fell, a thin envelope spewed out from the nearby wheezing box.

Hulaxiang is Zhanchenqi's name, because it always eagerly devours things and stands out with what it consumes. He finds this name very fitting, just like how he changed the name of that sissy household robot from Dazhuang to Xiaomei.

Reach out, take the envelope, and a shadow flickered across Zhan Chen's eyes.

What did Xu Nuo promise to send over?

What's the point of sending any letters when everything was perfectly fine?

As though he had realized something, Zhan Chen's expression suddenly changed. He hastily tore open the letter, and quickly scanned its contents.

The elegant font was not very large, and it covered more than half of the letter paper. He was able to finish reading it in a short while.

Is that all?

Is everything fine at home? - Then why bother writing anything!

Wait a minute...

Zhan Chen suddenly understood. He relaxed his body and leaned back against the back of the chair, making a clicking sound with his tongue.

This omega missed me~

With a proud expression on his face, he picked up the letter again and read it carefully once more.
