However, the other person didn’t seem interested in Bai Yue. He glanced at him once and then looked away.
He then put his suitcase on the top shelf and sat down. He had his earpiece in his ears and showed no intention of communicating.
Soon, the alphas helped each other up. They saw the blond boy’s expression was full of resentment, but remembering what had just happened, they didn’t dare to cause any more trouble and could only return to their seats silently.
Bai Yue looked at the boy: “Thank you.”
The boy glanced at him and turned back without saying a word.
The conversation ended there.
The other person’s personality was as cold as his appearance.
Bai Yue didn’t mind and didn’t bother him anymore.
However, this person’s identity was somewhat intriguing.
His build seemed similar to his own, and his appearance was more like an omega, with softer facial features. But the amazing fighting skills he had just displayed didn’t seem like something an ordinary omega could possess.
However, it might be impolite to ask about the other person’s gender abruptly. Therefore, Bai Yue didn’t speak but simply closed his eyes.
The long ladder connecting the airship to the ground had been retracted, and it was about to take off.
Soon, the small airship unfurled its wings and glided into the air, beginning its spacetime jump. Once the flight stabilized, Lu Ke quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and ran to find Bai Yue.
He had intended to ask about what had just happened, but seeing Bai Yue with his eyes closed, as if asleep, he didn’t respond and instead focused his attention on the boy sitting next to him.
Lu Ke had witnessed the boy’s heroic actions. He was now extremely excited; an omega could possess such skill. Perhaps after entering military academy, he could also become like that.
“Y-hello?” However, although the boy was handsome, he didn’t seem as approachable as Bai Yue. So Lu Ke cautiously began, “Are you a senior student at the military academy? You were really impressive just now.”
The boy raised his eyelids, then lowered them again, seemingly unwilling to speak regardless of who the visitor was.
Lu Ke wasn’t one to give up easily, and continued, “I… I may be an omega, but I want to become as strong as you. Are you a student at ‘Imperial First’? Can I come visit you after school starts?”
The boy finally reacted, as if he’d heard a certain word. He took off his earpiece and looked at Lu Ke: “Imperial First?”
“Ah, yes.”
Lu Ke quickly introduced himself, “I’m from the South China Sea Naval Academy, which is closer to ‘Imperial First’. This guy next to you is my friend; he’s also from Imperial First!”
Bai Yue, though his eyes were closed, was only feigning sleep. Hearing Lu Ke mention him, he opened his eyes and looked over. His gaze met that of his seatmate.
The other person was also looking at him.
The boy showed no expression, turned back, and put his earpiece back in. He uttered two words indifferently: “Ridiculous.”
Lu Ke was confused: “Huh? What’s ridiculous about it?”
“I think he meant his status as a ‘Imperial First student’.”
At this moment, a voice came from the back row.
Li Canxing, who had been pretending to sleep with an eye mask on, had somehow taken it off. He then straightened up slightly, looking at the three omegas in the front row: “The Imperial Military Academy isn’t easy to get into, especially for omegas.”
After all, omegas were almost all fragile vases. They were delicate, weak, and prone to heat. They might be good as spoils of war, but not so much as soldiers.
So, this blonde omega’s ability to single-handedly take on five alphas was simply a stroke of luck.
It was understandable that someone like him could get into the “Imperial Comprehensive Military Academy”; but the one next to him, although good-looking, didn’t show anything special.
Unless the other person’s rank was the same as his, a full A-rank.
But how could that be possible?
However, Li Canxing said this simply to strike up a conversation.
Experience showed that when an alpha affirmed an omega’s feelings, it was easier for the omega to develop feelings for them.
He looked at the blonde omega and flashed his signature smile: “Hello, my name is Li Canxing.”
“As a recommended student of ‘Imperial Academy,’ it seems we’ll be classmates from now on.”
“…”
An employee pushing a snack cart passed by, the wheels screeching on the floor. Apart from that, there was complete silence.
Li Canxing’s smile was about to crumble.
He had lost face badly because of what had just happened and had hoped to use this opportunity to regain his composure. But these omegas were completely ignoring him.
He missed his fans a little.
Just as he was about to give up and return to his seat, he suddenly felt a burning gaze fixed on his cheek. Li Canxing looked over and met the gray-haired boy’s eyes.
Had he noticed his charm?
Li Canxing flashed his signature smile: “Is there something on my face?”
“No,” Bai Yue said, “I just think you’re very interesting.”
“Oh?” Li Canxing raised an eyebrow, “My part-time job is live streaming. I always say funny things unintentionally, it’s probably a professional habit.”
Bai Yue shook his head.
“I mean, when those five people came over, you immediately hid. But now, you’re still putting on such a great act.”
He chuckled, “Very interesting.”
Li Canxing’s smile froze.
Lu Ke burst out laughing and made a face at the internet celebrity.
After this little incident, the pretentious internet celebrity finally shut up. But perhaps because he was deeply hurt, he slumped in his chair, looking utterly dejected.
The blonde was simply too aloof. Even Lu Ke couldn’t get a word in edgewise, and was then ushered away by the staff, forced to return to his seat.
The airship then continued its steady journey.
Bai Yue looked out the window.
They had now emerged from the time tunnel and begun their final leg of their journey through space.
The outside was no longer pitch black. Instead, it was like what they had seen at the transit station, with a brilliant galaxy floating in a vast black ocean.
Although rare, airships occasionally passed by, heading in other directions.
A pale silver planet came into view. It emitted a faint light, as if trying to absorb all living things around it.
Bai Yue had seen it on television before; that must be planet D-312. And he would spend the next four years there.
Soon, a female voice on the radio announced that they were about to arrive at planet D-312.
The window shades closed.
Bai Yue watched as the window shade descended, sensing something was amiss.
But judging from the passengers’ reactions, they seemed quite used to it.
He didn’t think any further.
He just withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest.
Then, he didn’t know how much time had passed. Maybe ten minutes, or maybe half an hour.
Half asleep, Bai Yue suddenly felt a violent shaking. He abruptly opened his eyes.
He wasn’t dreaming.
The airship was visibly shaking violently. Some of the outermost suitcases even fell off and hit the ground. The outer shell even cracked, and several pieces of clothing slipped out.
Most of the passengers on the airship were asleep and had no idea what was happening, only feeling dizzy. When they came to their senses, they were upside down.
“Wait, what’s going on?”
“Earthquake?” This passenger was clearly still half asleep. “No! Aren’t I on the airship? Is the airflow that strong?”
The cabin lights flickered on and off before finally stabilizing.
A female voice announced over the loudspeaker, “Passengers, please remain calm. The airship has been struck by an accident, causing slight shaking. However, there is no need to worry; the core equipment is not damaged. We will repair it immediately and resume flight.”
These words at least calmed the passengers down a bit. The shaking inside the cabin had stopped, and they stood up and sat back down.
Bai Yue had managed to grab the seat handle in time, avoiding being thrown out like the other passengers.
The announcement said it was an accidental impact?
Airship aviation technology was now quite mature, and they followed fixed routes. The possibility of colliding with a meteorite was practically zero.
So, unless someone deliberately crashed into it, it was hard to imagine causing this level of shaking.
At that moment, Bai Yue felt someone approaching. Turning his head, he saw the blond boy’s face almost touching his.
However, the boy didn’t look at him. Instead, he stared blankly out the window, reaching out as if to lift the window shade.
Sensing something, he suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the entrance.
The door there was tightly closed, only opened when staff delivered meals.
The female voice on the loudspeaker continued, “Passengers, please remain calm, return to your seats, and fasten your seatbelts. We are troubleshooting the problem as quickly as possible, and the vehicle will depart shortly after.”
“Passengers…”
“Ah—!!!”
The previously calm and composed female voice suddenly screamed, the sound echoing throughout the cabin via the loudspeaker.
The passengers were all startled.
Then, a burst of static erupted from the loudspeaker, almost painfully loud.
Then, silence fell.
Neither the voice of the staff member nor the subsequent noise could be heard anymore.
As the loudspeaker stopped, the cabin also fell silent.
