He added, "The painter of Levy."
Qin and Chu did not hear this.
All he heard was this man call out "brother" to the bald guy...
The words the Omegas had spoken in the restaurant earlier immediately came to mind—"I heard he's someone's brother."
The "who" is uncertain; he simply replaced "who" with "Levy."
Sorry to bother you.
Qin Chu turned and walked out with a blank face.
But there was a wall blocking the way behind them.
"Wall" reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, smiling as he said, "Since you're already here, you've seen everything you should and shouldn't have seen. Come in and sit down, senior."
"..." Qin Chu couldn't understand why this guy was being so generous now.
Levi pushed him through the door and said to the person inside, "Hey, stop sprawling around, make room for a sofa."
Chaos erupted inside the house.
When Qin Chu was pushed by Levi to the small sofa, the group of "unrestrained" alphas had all straightened their uniforms and sat up straight, looking more like they were there for a meeting than to celebrate a birthday.
Qin Chu regretted it again. He turned to look at Levi and said, "You guys play, I'm going out."
"Sit down and have something to eat. Haven't you had dinner yet?" Levi led him to sit on the sofa and called the waiter over to order some food.
Qin Chu thus inexplicably became the only Omega in the private room.
With too many alphas around and their pheromones not being restrained, Qin Chu subconsciously released some of his own pheromones in a defensive manner.
Suddenly, the entire private room felt even colder, as if a cold wind had blown through it.
A group of military academy students sat in a row, each feeling as if an instructor had entered the private room to arrest them.
After looking at each other for a while, someone couldn't hold back any longer and brought up a topic: "Senior, I haven't learned the method for untying knots that you posted last time. Can you teach me on the spot?"
"What do you mean by untying a knot?" Several unfamiliar military academy students immediately asked curiously.
Qin Chu didn't think anything of it and was about to agree when Levi spoke up: "No, don't even think about it."
He didn't want anyone to see Qin Chu with his hands tied up. He didn't want anyone to see Qin Chu with his hands tied up.
As soon as he said that, a unified "Oh~" immediately rang out in the quiet private room.
The emphasis on the lengthy, drawn-out tone, with a hint of jeering, actually made Qin Chu feel a strange, inexplicable embarrassment.
"Can't I even untie a knot?!"
Then someone joked, "Levy, you're quite the busybody!"
"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up!"
The atmosphere became lively.
A group of alphas were causing quite a ruckus when several unfamiliar military academy students, remembering that Qin Chu was an Omega, immediately intervened, saying, "That's enough. He's an Omega. All this talk about untying the knots is just making things difficult for him."
The military academy students at the base immediately explained to them, "No, no, no, Senior Milo isn't an ordinary Omega!"
"Milo is my idol!"
"You'd never guess, but an Omega can crush a transparent pressure ball. Can you even do that?"
These words shocked the few who came from military academy, and they all stared at Qin Chu with a "Holy crap" in their eyes.
Some people clearly wanted to question it subconsciously, but refrained from speaking out out of consideration for the Omega's feelings.
Hearing this, Levi laughed: "Untying the knot won't work, but this will."
As he spoke, he turned to Qin Chu and, as if by magic, pulled a transparent pressure ball from his pocket and handed it to him: "They don't believe me. Come on, let me scare them."
"..." Qin Chu was speechless. Was it really necessary to be so childish?
Levy is clearly not the only one who is naive.
The military academy students at the base got excited and urged, "Hurry up! Give us one!"
Qin Chu reached out and took the pressure ball.
This thing still carries Levi's body heat; I wonder how long he's been carrying it in his pocket.
After stroking the sphere, Qin Chu became somewhat interested.
He stretched out his hand, clenched it casually, and then suddenly tightened his fingers.
In the blink of an eye, the hard, transparent sphere flowed down like water.
A series of wailing and howling erupted in the private room.
"See? See? I told you it could be squeezed!"
"Holy crap, this live version has me blown away! It's way more impactful than the video!"
"Holy crap, are you really an Omega?"
As the pressure ball was popped, the tense atmosphere in the private room returned to normal, becoming even more heated than before.
Alpha's competitive spirit was aroused, and Levi's pressure ball was passed around and handled one by one.
Soon, some people forgot Qin Chu's Omega identity and even tried to arm wrestle him.
One military academy student even went to toast Qin Chu with a wine glass in hand, but before he could get close, he was so overwhelmed by Levi's pheromones that he took several steps back.
"Levy, have you had too much to drink?! Your pheromones are surging!"
Levi had indeed had a few drinks. Looking at the man, he didn't back down and answered directly for Qin Chu: "He doesn't drink."
An alpha laughed along; he was the birthday boy's real younger brother: "He's releasing pheromones to suppress you, telling you to get lost."
He then winked at Qin Chu and Levi, saying, "It's so convenient to mark them. Didn't you stay out all night the other day? I thought you two..."
Levy threw the pressure ball over: "Eat yours!"
Qin Chu was taken aback and turned to look at Le Wei: "You didn't go back on the day of the temple fair? Didn't you say you'd climb through the window?"
When this was mentioned, Levy took a sip of his drink, seemingly a little embarrassed.
Qin Chu frowned as he recalled what had happened the night before last.
He was going to stay at the studio, and Levy gave him a long list of instructions, eventually slipping the key under the door.
Thinking about this, a guess popped into my head.
Qin Chu turned his head abruptly, incredulous: "You didn't... stay downstairs at the art studio all night, did you?"
Levi coughed softly, pretending not to hear.
He pretended to get up to get some wine from another table, but Qin Chu pulled him back.
“…Don’t ask, it’s a bit embarrassing,” Levy said softly.
That day, he walked all the way to the dormitory building, and then turned back.
Looking back now, it was definitely a bit stupid.
The Omega he liked was living in a not-so-safe place. He was too embarrassed to offer to take her to a hotel room, and he didn't dare to follow Qin Chu into the art studio. Yet, he was also worried about this Omega who lacked common sense.
So... he stayed up all night watching downstairs at the art studio, not even daring to let Qin Chu know.
Qin Chu cursed and then fell silent.
After a while, he turned to look at Levi again: "You..."
Is it really necessary for you to go through all this trouble?
What's the point?
Are you cold...?
That's so stupid.
After holding back for a while, Qin Chu looked away and said in a low voice, "Don't you know how good I am at beating people? What's there to worry about?"
"How can that be the same?" Levi opened a bottle of wine and poured it into a glass in big gulps. "You may be impressive, but you still have things to worry about."
Qin Chu was taken aback, and that strange feeling in his heart resurfaced.
At first glance, this statement seemed illogical, but upon reflection, it actually made sense.
But this was the first time Qin Chu had heard such strange words. In the real world, everyone knew that he was strong enough, and they felt confident entrusting him with dangerous missions.
Qin Chu had heard many reassuring stories before, but this was the first time he had heard such detailed concerns.
For a moment, no one spoke, and they fell into that tense silence once again.
Suddenly, someone at the table shouted, "Your turn! Hurry up and smoke!"
Qin Chu and Le Wei were startled and looked up at the table at the same time.
Levy also asked, "What's your name?"
He should have kept his question in mind, because it turned everyone in the room to look at them.
Someone laughed: "Truth or Dare! You've been playing for ages, how long have you been daydreaming?"
Qin Chu coughed lightly but didn't say anything; he really hadn't noticed.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the person who lost the game.
Truth or Dare!
"Truth or dare!"
The man rubbed his hands together, pulled a card from the table, squinted at it, and asked, "Ask me... whether I prefer a lover older or younger than myself? And why?"
"Hey, I thought it would be much harder." The man waved his hand. "Of course...it's someone older than you! Older people are much more sensible!"
"Damn, you're pretty slutty!"
"That's right!" the man exclaimed. "How wonderful it is to have a brother! He calls me 'brother' during the day, and he calls me 'brother' at night!"
What indecent language...
Qin Chu thought he could completely ignore the lewd talk of these grown men, but he was still stunned when he heard this sentence.
He must have heard this before, but back then he hadn't been a "brother" yet.
