Before leaving, Gu Yunzhou asked, "Is it not allowed?"
*
Once Gu Yunzhou left, Ji Zhaoming's fatigue vanished. He quickly wiped himself down, changed into fresh clothes, and left the bathroom.
Seeing that Gu Yunzhou showed no signs of moving, Ji Zhaoming asked curiously, "Aren't you going to wash up?"
Hearing the sound, Gu Yunzhou turned around and glanced at Ji Zhaoming.
Having just stepped out of the bathroom, Ji Zhaoming wasn't wearing slippers. His hair was only half-dry, with a few water droplets slowly dripping onto the floor. Barefoot, Ji Zhaoming stepped over the water stain.
Gu Yunzhou helped by bringing out a pair of clean slippers.
Unfortunately, Ji Zhaoming didn't wear those slippers for long. After a while, he saw the soft bed next to him and immediately decided to go for it. He pounced on the bed and rolled around comfortably.
Ji Zhaoming struggled to get up by turning from one end of the bed to the other, only to find Gu Yunzhou still watching him. His face flushed slightly: "What are you looking at? Aren't you going to take a shower?"
Gu Yunzhou took off his coat, revealing a section of his forearm.
The shirt inside was spotless, which seemed completely out of place with Gu Yunzhou's appearance.
Gu Yunzhou didn't shy away from anything and casually took off his shirt.
Ji Zhaoming unconsciously scratched at the bed sheet. Seeing Gu Yunzhou about to untie it further, Ji Zhaoming exclaimed in alarm, "Aren't you going inside to change?"
Gu Yunzhou finally stopped what he was doing.
Before Ji Zhaoming could catch his breath, he suddenly saw Gu Yunzhou stride over to his side and sit on the bed.
The soft bed sank in instantly.
Ji Zhaoming asked warily, "What are you doing?"
He never said again that Gu Yunzhou in this world was like the one in the previous world.
If Gu Yunzhou from the previous world appeared before him, he would certainly be dressed neatly and properly.
Being too casual also has its downsides.
Gu Yunzhou countered, "Cold?"
"Huh?" Ji Zhaoming was bewildered. "It's alright."
This temperature is just right; it's the most comfortable temperature for the human body.
Gu Yunzhou asked, "Then what are you shrinking for?"
As she spoke, she moved closer to Ji Zhaoming.
Even though Ji Zhaoming knew that Gu Yunzhou would never hurt him, but...
That's very strange.
Ji Zhaoming didn't know what was wrong with him. As Gu Yunzhou got closer and closer to him, his cheeks turned red, and he looked at Gu Yunzhou with a bit of confusion.
It seemed that he couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance in front of Gu Yunzhou.
Reflecting on the world's setting, Ji Zhaoming thought of something and asked in his mind: "Am I set up as a beta in this world?"
System: [No.]
Um?
But this feeling is very similar to the pheromone suppression described in the data.
Ji Zhaoming: [That's... the lowest level of aplha?]
This is not bad, at least it's not as weak as it was in the last world.
System: 【...No, not exactly either.】
It's neither aplha nor beta?
Is there perhaps a third gender?
Just as Ji Zhaoming was completely lost in confusion, his ankle was pulled down, and he slid uncontrollably toward Gu Yunzhou.
Ji Zhaoming tried to pull his foot back, but it was firmly held in someone's hand.
He was half-sunken into the bed, with only one foot being half-pulled up, in an extremely strange posture.
Gu Yunzhou asked, "Aren't you cold? Why are you hiding?"
Gu Yunzhou released Ji Zhaoming's ankle, a hint of confusion on his face: "Are you a beta?"
Aplha shouldn't be that weak.
But is Beta really that good-looking?
Ji Zhaoming clutched the bedsheet and asked weakly, "If I said it's neither of the two, would you believe me?"
"I believe you," Gu Yunzhou said without hesitation.
But besides these two...
Gu Yunzhou paused for a moment before slowly asking, "Are you an omega?"
That is a gender that only appeared in the earliest times. They are soft and weak, but their spiritual power is naturally healing and can cure the raging aplha.
This seemingly powerful ability is actually the reason why omegas ultimately perish.
The weak omega had no ability to protect themselves, and thus gradually withered away amidst the struggle between aplha and beta.
Forced into a corner, the empire enacted an omega protection law.
Clearly, this law has no way to stop the omega population from declining sharply.
Omega eventually faded from the stage of history.
In other words, Ji Zhaoming is very likely the only omega in the world.
Omega and aplha have a natural attraction.
Gu Yunzhou placed his hand back on Ji Zhaoming's ankle.
Once it's marked, the person belongs to him/her.
Gu Yunzhou murmured, "Master..."
A note from the author:
QWQ Gu Yunzhou in this world is set to be younger than in the previous world.
So he's still just a kid (x)

Chapter 33
Don't touch him.
A shadow descended from above, entering Ji Zhaoming's field of vision.
He huddled in the shadows, curled up, his fingers gripping the sheets tightly.
It looked pitiful, like a small animal driven to the brink of despair, left to the mercy of a ferocious beast.
"Omega?" Ji Zhaoming placed his hand on Gu Yunzhou's chest and tried to push him forward.
I felt that Gu Yunzhou's eyes were a little scary at this moment.
Under that gaze, Ji Zhaoming's throat moved slightly, and he swallowed.
He asked: "What is omega?"
"It is a gender that deserves to be protected by everyone."
"It is the most unique."
The system and Gu Yunzhou spoke at the same time, their voices strangely blending together, giving the illusion that it was the same person speaking.
It was at this moment that Ji Zhaoming realized how similar the voice hidden beneath the system's mechanical tone was to Gu Yunzhou's.
After the eerie feeling dissipated, Ji Zhaoming finally understood the meaning behind those words.
He tilted his head, revealing his forearm: "But I don't need protection, do I?"
A thin layer of muscle covers the forearm.
Ji Zhaoming doesn't have the muscular build; on the contrary, he looks quite slender. However, he exercises regularly and is one of the athletes who can win awards at school sports meets.
Gu Yunzhou suddenly smiled and said, "Yes."
Gu Yunzhou quietly got out of bed, released Ji Zhaoming's ankle, and sat down next to him. "But I want to protect you, my master."
He quickly changed the subject, "Tell me if you're cold, I'll go change my clothes too."
Gu Yunzhou walked into the bathroom.
The bed still seemed to retain body heat.
The sound of water came from the bathroom, and Ji Zhaoming glanced over.
Through the frosted glass, a shadow could be vaguely seen. Slowly taking off the rest of his clothes, Ji Zhaoming's face turned bright red. He took a soft breath and dared not look any longer.
Ji Zhaoming was still unaware of his mission and was killing time in boredom.
Through the window, he saw a bald man leading a group of people searching house to house.
The underling following behind the bald man looked up, and Ji Zhaoming recognized him immediately.
It was the same person who had been chasing him earlier.
There is no order on garbage planets.
These bald men came from a more advanced planet, so naturally they showed no mercy to the people on the garbage planet.
Several families simply left their doors wide open and fled far away.
We need to think of a solution.
Ji Zhaoming jumped out of bed, quickly dried his hair, and just as he put on his coat, the bathroom door clicked open.
Gu Yunzhou asked with a yawn, "Where are you going?"
Ji Zhaoming pointed down: "They all suffered undeserved misfortune because of me."
