Every word of this message was carefully considered by Yun Xunlan, even the color of the heart emoji at the end was meticulously chosen.
Green represents life, tranquility, and nature; it’s a color that signifies peace. Back when he was in the cultivation world, the robes he wore were a shade of azure green. The injured patients who came to him for treatment would say that seeing the Xilan Immortal Master in his azure green attire felt like encountering a tall bamboo, bringing them a sense of stability and healing, praising the color as extremely good and beautiful.
However, the heart emoji was only green. Yun Xunlan thought that green and azure green were quite similar, and unlike the bright and passionate red heart that would evoke thoughts of love, using green to express goodwill was undoubtedly the most fitting choice. Since Fu Yanxi said that Yu Chen’s Comet-S7 was an ordinary second-generation motorcycle, he decided to go against Fu Yanxi’s opinion and praise the Comet-S7 as a great treasure, expressing that he particularly liked it, indicating that he was on Yu Chen’s side.
—Such a well-rounded and perfect message, like a full-score exam paper, Yun Xunlan didn’t believe that after Yu Chen read it, he could remain completely indifferent and ignore him.
However, the royal guard selection interview hadn’t ended yet, and Yun Xunlan didn’t expect to receive a reply from Yu Chen anytime soon. So after sending this message, he continued to scroll through Yu Chen’s past public posts.
But Yu Chen had set a time limit on visible posts, so Yun Xunlan could only see the three posts he made in the last month; anything older was out of reach. He had no choice but to read those three posts over and over again.
Just after finishing the seventh read, Yun Xun Guang called him via video, asking, “My dear little brother, how did you choose among those nine daily bodyguard alpha candidates who will take turns protecting you?”
To avoid provoking the sensitive alpha by talking too much, Yun Xun Guang got straight to the point. As soon as the video connected, she immediately asked the question she was most concerned about.
“I’ve made my choice,” Yun Xunlan replied, “I picked the nine alphas who ranked in the top nine for practical assessment.”
Hearing this result, Yun Xun Guang raised her eyebrows in suspicion, “Did you watch the selection live stream?”
Yun Xunlan answered honestly, “I did, but I didn’t finish it.”
“Why?”
“After Yu Chen appeared, I couldn’t focus on anyone else.”
“Oh, Yu Chen~”
Yun Xun Guang elongated the “oh” and smiled, “Are you very interested in him?”
Yun Xunlan met Yun Xun Guang’s golden eyes, which were just like his own, and said firmly, “Yes, I must have him; the others don’t matter.”
This was the first time Yun Xunlan had shown such strong and stubborn feelings towards an alpha, but Yun Xun Guang seemed to have anticipated this situation and was not surprised at all. “Alright, I think as long as he’s around, you won’t pay attention to anyone else. But I’m curious about someone who can score full marks in ‘War Psychology,’ not just you.”
Yun Xun Guang thought Yun Xunlan kept Yu Chen around for this reason.
Although that was indeed the case—no matter who that person was, as long as he could score full marks in ‘War Psychology,’ Yun Xunlan would definitely choose to keep him.
However, there were more reasons for Yun Xunlan to keep Yu Chen, but he didn’t want to waste his breath explaining the truth. At this moment, he just wanted to end the call quickly, not wanting to see the face of any alpha other than Yu Chen during his sensitive period.
But Yun Xun Guang continued talking, “His practical performance is really good, but it’s a pity he’s just an SS-level alpha.”
Yun Xunlan lowered his eyelashes, his gaze falling on the little fish tea pet in his hand, and began to defend his precious tool, Yu Chen: “He’s still young; he still has a chance to grow to SSS.”
“Later efforts are ultimately hard to compare with innate talent.” Noticing that he wouldn’t even look at her, Yun Xun Guang decided to wrap up the conversation, “Alright, I won’t bother you anymore. Since you’ve already decided on your guard alpha candidates, once your sensitive period is over, go meet them.”
“Mm.”
Yun Xunlan hung up the call with Yun Xun Guang and opened his light brain to check Yu Chen’s star network account homepage again, only to find that he hadn’t replied to his comment. So, he switched to texting Jian Wenxi, sharing his joy: [Wenxi, I watched the royal guard selection live stream, and I want to tell you something: there are indeed alphas who can find other alphas pleasing to the eye during their sensitive period, and it’s not just a casual pleasing.]
[Jian Wenxi: ?]
Jian Wenxi almost replied in seconds, using three question marks after the second sentence to express his confusion.
[Yun Xunlan: Yes, his name is Yu Chen. I’ll tell you more details when I get back to the lab.]
Yun Xunlan didn’t chat with Jian Wenxi for long because his light brain reminded him that Yu Chen had replied to his comment. The most important thing for him now was to see what Yu Chen had replied to him—
【Lan: ?】
Huh?
Why did Yu Chen, like Jian Wenxi, only reply with a question mark?
Was there something wrong with his message?
Yun Xunlan “humbly” sought clarification from Yu Chen, and at the end, he didn’t forget to use a green heart to show his friendliness, tripling the number to double his goodwill—
【Newbie Fish Keeper: What’s wrong? Can’t I like your treasure? [Green Heart][Green Heart][Green Heart]】
Before long, Yu Chen replied to his second message: 【Lan: You can roll too.】
Yun Xunlan: !!!
So fierce!
Yun Xunlan stared blankly at the comment Yu Chen had replied to him, his golden eyes shimmering like a candle flame swaying in the wind, feeling both happy and troubled.
Happy because Yu Chen was really good at cursing!
Troubled because it seemed like his attempt to show goodwill had failed.
The system, however, was watching with great interest: “If such a fierce general had been by your side since your birth, we would have at least unified the galaxy by now.”
Just as Yun Xunlan was about to speak, he heard the light brain AI butler issue another warning: “The light brain wristband has detected your heart rate exceeding normal twice within 12 hours. Do you need me to call a doctor for you? If there’s no response within ten seconds, it will be considered a default. Ten, nine…”
He initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking for two seconds, he said before the countdown ended, “Yes.”
AI Butler: “I have called the on-duty doctor for you tonight: Pei Xingtian.”
The system asked, “Why is your heart rate elevated again?”
Yun Xunlan replied, “Because Yu Chen told me to roll, I’m a bit worried we won’t be able to be brothers.”
Such a handy tool, he had only met Yu Chen in his two thousand years of life.
The system comforted him: “Don’t panic; you’re using a secondary account, he doesn’t know who you are. If worse comes to worst, just switch accounts and start over; you can still be brothers.”
Yun Xunlan thought about it and felt it made sense, instantly feeling relieved.
At that moment, Ni Chun knocked on the door, his voice tinged with urgency and concern: “Third Prince, Doctor Pei has arrived. Are you feeling unwell?”
Hearing Ni Chun’s inquiry, Yun Xunlan temporarily closed the light brain screen: “I’m fine; I just want to ask something. Please come in.”
Ni Chun pushed the door open and, seeing Yun Xunlan sitting on the carpet with a calm expression and no injuries or bleeding points, he let out a sigh of relief, stepping aside to let the man carrying a medical box behind him approach Yun Xunlan.
The man whom Ni Chun called “Doctor Pei” was named Pei Xingtian, thirty-five years old, originally an excellent clinical pharmacist at the Imperial Military Medical Research Institute, now a pharmacist in the royal medical team. Like Ni Chun, he was also a beta.
But he was slender and tall, much taller than the average beta. Wearing a pair of silver-framed, rimless glasses, he looked somewhat gloomy, yet his speech was very refined and elegant. After half-squatting in front of Yun Xunlan, he smiled and greeted the young man: “Your Highness, good evening.”
“Doctor Pei, good evening.”
Yun Xunlan raised his gaze to meet the black-haired man half-squatting in front of him and greeted him back, rolling up his sleeves to extend his left arm for Pei Xingtian to draw blood.
As the needle pierced his skin and entered the vein, Yun Xunlan felt no pain at all. Pei Xingtian lowered his eyelashes and casually asked, “You seem to be in a good mood today. Did something happy happen?”
“Mm.” Yun Xunlan said, “That’s the reason for my two elevated heart rates today.”
“I see.”
Pei Xingtian responded to Yun Xunlan, but it wasn’t until Yun Xunlan’s latest test results came out that he said, “Yes, your blood test results are not much different from the last test; there’s no problem.”
After saying that, he quietly watched Yun Xunlan, waiting for the young man to speak.
Pei Xingtian had been working as a pharmacist for Yun Xunlan in the royal medical team for three years. He knew very well that Yun Xunlan had no physical discomfort and understood the reason for his elevated heart rate, yet he still chose to call the on-duty doctor, which meant he had something else to say.
As expected, Yun Xunlan soon revealed his true purpose: “Doctor Pei, can you turn off the heart rate warning system on my light brain wristband?”
Heart rates aren’t constant; emotions like happiness, fear, and anger can all affect heart rate. Although Yun Xunlan understood that Yun Xun Guang wanted him to wear this wristband all the time out of concern for his health, it kept alarming, and he had to respond verbally to turn off the alarm, which was really annoying.
Most importantly, the two times this light brain wristband had issued alarms happened to be when Yu Chen was cursing at him.
If it does…
Yun Xunlan didn’t want to imagine how awkward that would be when he faced Yu Chen’s famous saying of “becoming a dog” in the future.
To prevent Pei Xingtian from refusing his request, Yun Xunlan added a statement to make it clear that his request was very reasonable and that he should agree: “If I’m having sex, and it alarms like this, it would really affect my mood.”
However, Doctor Pei’s smile didn’t change at all upon hearing this, and he replied calmly, “Your Highness, don’t worry. The medical team has already considered this issue when designing this light brain wristband for you. It has a silent mode that can be activated once a day, lasting for three hours each time. You can activate it before addressing your physiological needs. In silent mode, if the increased heart rate is within the normal range during sexual activity, it won’t issue an alarm.”
Yun Xunlan: “…”
What a very user-friendly design, but—
“Only once a day?” Yun Xunlan asked.
Once for only three hours?
Ordinary alphas could accompany an omega in heat for seven days straight, and he was also an alpha; why was he only given one day with three hours?
Pei Xingtian explained, “This is just the initial frequency set. We can adjust it based on your specific needs and capabilities.”
What a “specific capability.”
This time, Yun Xunlan understood the implication behind Doctor Pei’s words, raising his eyebrows: “Oh, you think I can only last three hours.”
