It was precisely because of this resemblance that Qin Chu reacted so strongly when he heard the word "brother".
It is precisely for this reason that now, when Levi speaks these words to him word by word, it is no less powerful than when Qin Rui from the last world stands in front of him and tells him these words in person.
Qin Chu never imagined that the child he had raised so diligently in the last world would turn out like this.
I'm so angry!
"So, you still think I'm different from Qin Rui?" Levi's lips curled up again.
Qin Chu squinted at him: "It's different."
"Hmm?" Levy raised an eyebrow.
"I'll save Qin Rui if he's in danger, but I won't save you if you're in danger." He might even kick you while you're down.
Levi was taken aback, then became displeased: "No... how could you do this?"
His pent-up grievances reached their peak, and he became genuinely angry, unable to distinguish whether Qin Chu was acting or telling the truth.
He immediately wanted to reach out and hold Qin Chu's hand to confirm something and seek some comfort.
However, fearing it would disrupt Qin and Chu's plans, he didn't dare to participate.
Having lived for so long, this was the first time Levi had obediently followed this person's plan; he was practically bursting with suffocation.
She couldn't speak, nor could she hold hands; she could only glare at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu glanced at him and thought to himself that this guy's acting skills were indeed quite good, and he acted quite convincingly. If you didn't know better, you would think he was really angry.
Then Qin Chu couldn't help but reflect on his acting skills, fearing that an unrealistic performance would drag the show down.
So he decided to be even more indifferent and simply turned and walked away.
Levy stood there, stunned, his mind filled with questions.
They're gone already? Gone?
Shouldn't you try to comfort her?
The two parted on bad terms.
To ensure the "unpleasant ending" would be effective, Qin Chu drove off on his motorcycle alone, leaving Levi behind to hail a taxi.
Qin Chu returned to the base on his own.
When he entered the dormitory, he subconsciously wanted to take out his personal terminal to ask Levi if he had returned, but then he thought that if the mainframe really had planted spies around him, then he would not be able to avoid contact with the personal terminal either.
He's such a grown man, we can't just lose him.
If you're going to act, you have to act it right. Qin Chu put the personal computer aside and went to wash up and rest.
Thanks to Toleville, Qin Chu felt Qin Rui's return for the first time yesterday, and immediately all the preconceived notions about Qin Rui in his mind shattered.
Perhaps for this reason, Qin Chu had a dream all night, a dream filled with Qin Rui, though the plot was somewhat outrageous.
The next morning, Qin Chu got up as usual, bought two breakfasts at the restaurant, and then went to the art studio.
He wanted to discuss the details of the "plan" with Levy again, but he was stunned when he opened the studio door.
The studio was empty; there was no one there at all.
Too……
Since they've already argued, it's understandable that Levi wouldn't come.
That's bullshit.
Qin Chu raised an eyebrow and tossed the breakfast onto the table.
He only said he wanted to argue, but he didn't say he would give Levy a day off.
Although Qin Chu initiated the "argument," he was strangely displeased when he discovered that Levi was "absent from work."
Levy was also very unhappy.
He ate something casually in the morning and sat in the training room staring at the quantum computer.
I opened Qin Chu's message page and glanced at it; there were no messages.
I found the post where Qin Chu posted the video again and refreshed it, but it wasn't updated.
Um……
It's not over yet?
You've been arguing all night, isn't that enough?
Should we continue to pretend?
Just to fool the AI, they suddenly started giving each other the cold shoulder right after they kissed. That's just too much...
Levi took a sip of water, clicked on Qin Chu's profile picture to send a message, but his finger paused when he entered the input box.
This plan only works the first time; if you give up halfway through, you can forget about doing it a second time.
The key issue is that Levy isn't sure how long Qin Chu intends to keep this charade going. If he rashly interrupts Qin Chu's plan, the charade might become real.
Gritting his teeth, Levi exited the message page and lay in the boxing ring, feeling like he was about to suffocate.
Every word Qin Chu said yesterday hit him right where it hurt, but the cold war wasn't his style. Right now, he just wanted to confront Qin Chu and ask if those things were true.
If it wasn't true, he would immediately press Qin Chu down and kiss him.
If it's true, then we should definitely give each other a kiss.
When you feel extremely stifled, grievances start to surface.
This emotion arose only after merging with Qin Rui. The thought that Qin Chu wouldn't allow him to call him "brother" made this sense of grievance surge even more intensely, becoming uncontrollable.
Levi picked up the personal terminal again and typed a crying emoji in the input box.
My finger hovered over the send button for a few seconds, but I still pressed the delete button.
No, we have to wait for Qin Chu to coax him.
He doesn't want to send messages first!
Qin Chu sat in the art studio, staring blankly at the quantum computer.
In his memory, he and Levy didn't seem to have ever argued.
Because they couldn't get into an argument, Qin Chu believed that if he could take action, he should never use words, while Levi would use both words and actions. It was nothing like the "peaceful" cold war they had experienced before.
Of course, the main reason why a cold war could not be waged was Levy.
This guy is always restless. Even when their relationship was at its most tense, Levi would still often come over to stir up trouble.
So now that Levy has suddenly fallen silent, Qin Chu feels like something is wrong with every cell in his body.
He stared at the personal computer screen, feeling like this person was about to send an emoji at any moment.
They might be begging for mercy, or they might be trying to start a fight.
But... he'd been watching for half an hour, and there wasn't a single message.
Qin Chu glanced at the time and realized that the morning had passed just like that.
He got up and left the studio to have lunch at the restaurant.
Qin Chu ordered his own food and found a seat.
It was peak dining time, and the tables were a mess. As Qin Chu found an empty seat, the restaurant's cleaning robot was wiping the table.
This robot isn't very intelligent; after wiping the table, there are still stains, and sometimes it even gets dirtier the more you wipe it.
Qin Chu hadn't held out much hope. He turned around, grabbed some tissues and disinfectant, and wanted to wipe it again himself. But when he came back, he found that he was lucky this time. The robot had probably just been refurbished, and the tabletop it had wiped was very clean.
Just as Qin Chu sat down, the restaurant door rang.
Qin Chu subconsciously turned his head and saw a group of military academy students mixed with a few Omegas walking in.
Nowadays, most military academy students and art students at the base are paired up, but there is also a group of art students who are not interested in being models. So, just like when they first entered the base, they socialize with other military academy students who are not models every day.
In a base where the atmosphere is increasingly resembling that of an "old married couple," this is truly a beautiful sight.
Qin Chu doesn't usually leave his studio, so he's not familiar with this group of people.
But today he took another look, because Levi was also mixed in with this group, looking extremely comfortable.
The knife scraped against the porcelain plate, making a slightly harsh sound.
Qin Chu withdrew his gaze and inwardly scoffed.
Are you living a pretty comfortable life?
He was sitting near the door, so the group saw Qin Chu not long after he came in.
Immediately, someone joked with Levi, "Tsk tsk tsk, have you forgotten that someone is different from us? He's about to abandon us."
This time, Qin Chu did not look up.
He heard Levi say with a laugh, "No way, you're trying to kick me out now? That won't do. I'll be working for you guys from now on."
Everyone thought Levy was joking and didn't take it seriously.
However, when they saw that Levi didn't go to Qin Chu after getting his food, but instead actually went to find a place with them, they realized something was wrong.
There were quite a few people attending the wedding yesterday, including the military academy student who exposed Levy's dark past.
He initially thought that Levi and Qin Chu were just having a minor argument, but now he realized that something was wrong; they had actually quarreled!
The group exchanged glances and immediately pulled Levi toward Qin Chu's table: "There are so few empty seats today. The table next to senior is empty. Let's hurry up and grab a seat."
When they arrived at the table, they said, "This table is too small; there aren't enough seats for all of us. How about we share a table with the senior students?"
After a bit of pushing and shoving, Levi sat down opposite Qin Chu, surrounded by several relationship experts.
"Hey, didn't our teachers teach us in elementary school that alphas have to give way to omegas?" Relationship expert A frantically winked at Levi.
Levi thought for a moment and then said, "I failed my elementary school grades and I hate listening to my teachers."
Everyone: "..."
Relationship expert A died.
Relationship expert B chimed in, "Is the reason Omega is so adorable because he often has a bit of a temper? So..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Chu put down her knife, looked up at him, and asked, "Who are you calling cute?"
