Levy chuckled softly and looked up again: "Now we have it."
"Hmm?" Qin Chu asked, puzzled.
Levy coughed seriously: "I'm very concerned about the cause of death of my two future family members. Come and discuss it with me."
"...What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Chu felt a strange heaviness in his heart disappear completely after hearing what he said.
"The difference between the document outside and the one you see now lies in the last military order. Do you know what the order contains?" Levy continued to ask.
"This is classified information; only the highest-ranking military officer in the Empire can unlock it," Qin Chu thought subconsciously.
"You really don't know?" Levi asked him. "I don't quite believe it. With your personality, you must have checked beforehand."
"..." Qin Chu glanced at him helplessly, "I only know that it is related to whether or not to evacuate, but I don't know the specifics."
The trail went cold there. Levi thought for a moment and then asked, "Isn't this file a top secret in your military? How did the mastermind know so much detail?"
"Because these are archives from thirty years ago, when the military and the cabinet were not separated like they are now," Qin Chu said.
Initially, the military did not have an independent artificial intelligence system; the entire empire relied entirely on the mainframe system.
Noah was also developed by the military during these thirty years, and later led by his adoptive father. The military and the empire's political system were separated and existed independently.
“So it’s not surprising that the mainframe has this information.” Qin Chu shook his head. “Let’s just forget about it.”
Levi understood Qin Chu's meaning.
All those involved in this mission from the First Legion are dead, and his adoptive father is also gone.
But the mastermind actually participated in the transmission and issuance of military orders, and even stayed in each soldier's personal terminal, witnessing the entire process of the mission.
Aside from the old guard in the cabinet, if anyone can uncover the truth, it's only the mastermind.
This is a very powerful information temptation.
If someone else were in Qin Chu's situation, they might have already been unable to resist seeking confirmation from the mastermind, or at least hesitated for a couple of days.
However, Qin Chu was still able to think calmly and prioritize the task at hand.
At least Levy couldn't do that.
In the past, if Levi had known that someone would give up investigating their own affairs for the sake of another's life or interests, he would have thought that person was crazy. But now, he couldn't help but look at Qin Chu's quality with admiration.
Perhaps due to his education or position, or perhaps because of his background, Qin Chu possesses a selfless protective instinct ingrained in his genes.
Levy is a beneficiary of this protective instinct.
If Qin Chu weren't that kind of person, he wouldn't have gone without food for days to give to Qin Rui; nor would he have stayed up all night so that Qin Rui could safely enjoy a good night's sleep.
These are not the only reasons why Levi fell in love with Qin Chu, but they are the romances he will cherish forever.
"Why are you looking at me?" Qin Chu asked.
Levi winked at him twice: "I'm hungry."
The wolf eventually revealed its true colors.
This hunger is clearly not just about being hungry in the stomach.
I know everything I need to know.
Qin Chu also looked up at him, his dark eyes deep and thoughtful.
But soon, Qin Chu lowered his eyelashes, turned and walked to the shelf to the side: "There's nothing else, just bread and a can of milk. Do you want some?"
Levy was very dissatisfied.
I'd been wanting to sleep with him all along, so why did I get up to get him some bread?
He was indeed hungry, so he got up and pressed himself against Qin Chu from behind, opening his mouth to take bread from Qin Chu's hand.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chu glanced at him and threw the bread at him.
“…Are you feeding the dog?” Levi took the bread, looked at the distance between the two of them, and suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
He reached out to take the milk from Qin Chu's hand, but his target was Qin Chu's hand, not the milk carton.
But Qin Chu glanced at him, put the milk on the table, and walked around him to set up the easel.
Levi slowly walked over and took the milk, but his eyes remained fixed on Qin Chu the whole time.
Unaware of what was happening, Qin Chu was busy questioning Noah: "Can that painter's consciousness... activate privacy mode with you?"
Noah: "???"
Noah: "!!!"
"I'm asking you a question," Qin Chu said.
"...Allow me to express my surprise." Noah was quite astonished. "This is the first time you've asked about privacy mode. I used to turn it on automatically, and you always seemed indifferent. Now you're actually asking about it!"
Qin Chu: "..."
Can they be the same?
He really had nothing to hide before, and Noah was just an artificial intelligence. Even if a live version were performed in front of him, this guy would probably just treat it as watching a documentary.
But now that it concerns Levi and another human consciousness, Qin Chu is still very concerned.
"Don't worry, strictly speaking, this human consciousness doesn't reside in the same body as you, but rather within my system space, and it will also activate privacy mode along with me. However..." Noah suddenly changed the subject.
"But what?" Qin Chu asked.
"But even if I activate it in time, I still occasionally see things I shouldn't see!" Noah finally couldn't hold back anymore. "You guys are talking about serious matters one second, and the next second you're doing indescribable things. I'm helpless too! If that human consciousness sees something it shouldn't see, I won't take responsibility!"
"..." Qin Chu frowned and pondered for a moment, "Is there..."
"Yes!" Noah said firmly.
Qin Chu clicked his tongue and looked up at Levi sitting to the side.
The man seemed lost in thought, his entire being in a state of heightened readiness, the muscles in his back taut in a powerful curve.
It looks great.
Qin Chu looked away and said to Noah, "Next time, drive more promptly."
After all, it was only Levi who couldn't hold back before.
But now there are two of them.
Qin Chu tried hard to focus his attention on the drawing board in front of him, but without success.
Because the next second, the alpha pheromones, which were in their most sensitive period, attacked him again.
Levy was given a suppressant, but this suppressant was clearly only limiting the alpha's attack power, rather than the pheromones that became more rampant during the fertile period.
The strong smell of blood lingered in the air, seemingly carrying a blatant heat.
The smell of blood can often directly stimulate the human nerves, conveying an extreme sense of danger. But whether it's Qin Chu or Le Wei, when faced with danger, what they are often evoked is not fear, but excitement.
Qin Chu looked away from the drawing board and went to see the person who had somehow appeared behind him.
The hazy heat cycle has passed, but some of the urges have clearly not subsided.
"What are you doing?" Qin Chu asked in a low voice.
He tried to turn around, but Levy grabbed his shoulder.
Alpha's low, husky voice, tinged with accusation, whispered in his ear: "You're avoiding me."
Qin Chu subtly traced two lines on the paintbrush with his finger: "Then why aren't you going to stop?"
“No way,” Levi said. “General Qin, you were the one who said you wanted to sleep with me yesterday, and you were the one who coaxed me to sleep last night. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to be so cold to me today?”
The next second, with a loud crash, the stool in front of the easel fell to the ground.
The tall alpha was pinned down on the narrow single bed, while the Omega, dressed in a white art student uniform, took the lead.
Levy was somewhat surprised by Qin Chu's strong reaction.
But he was very satisfied with his current posture, and even with his collar being pulled, he still laughed freely.
He coaxed, "I took a suppressant today, so I'm weak and have no strength. I'm especially easy to push over. Why don't you give it a try?"
Whether it's really easy to seduce is another matter; the important thing is to get people to come up first.
Qin Chu stared at him for two seconds, then let go of his hand.
Levi remained lying down, persisting: "Really not going? Let me tell you something interesting: whether you're in heat or not, the bed is always there."
Qin Chu looked at him for a while, then turned and laughed.
Levy snapped, "What are you laughing at? We're talking business! What a great atmosphere!"
"I told you to tone it down," Qin Chu said.
"Is the vulnerable period the time to withdraw?" Levi was very unhappy and reached out to grab Qin Chu's arm. "Not only do you not coax me, but you also avoid me? It's wrong to start something and then abandon it."
Qin Chu was both annoyed and amused by his teasing, and after thinking about it, she finally told Levi about her "roommate".
Levy remained silent for a long time after listening, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
Qin Chu thought the explanation was over and was about to go back to drawing when Levy suddenly spoke up:
"You mean there's another human inside you? And he's closer to you than I am to you?"
"...Did I say that?" Qin Chu was speechless again.
Levi didn't listen to a word and was extremely aggrieved.
"You're avoiding me because of him?"
"What do you mean? You don't want to make our relationship public?"
Do you like him?
Qin Chu: "..."
Very good, a strong period of susceptibility.
Levi was really concerned; his blue eyes had lightened, and all his muscles were tense.
Qin Chu stared at him for a long time before finally saying, "No."
Levy's tone was somber: "Then what is it because of?"
"Because I don't want others to see my true self," Qin Chu said.
