Empire Spring [Rebirth]

The competition for the number of votes in this round was particularly fierce. Chu Qi won with a small number of votes.

In any case, he won the biggest prize of the game, in addition to a large sum of money, there is also a valuable set of cooking equipment.In this era where everyone relies on nutritional supplements to live, there is almost no mass-produced cooking equipment, so this prize is very precious, and even if it is resold, it can make a lot of money.

And the level of sophistication of this set of cooking equipment is extremely impressive, so it shouldn't be a problem to carry out some simple experiments.Chu Qi thought with satisfaction, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing a little pride.

And this little pride is extremely cute in the eyes of those who care about it.

Not to mention William in the corner in the last row, Joey standing next to him even felt that in order to get such a dazzling person, he couldn't pay any price too much.

So after the show ended, Joey subconsciously caught up with Chu Qi and called him to stop, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chu Qi looked over and saw that the person opposite had been cleaned up briefly, and the blood stains on the clothes on his face were hardly visible, but there were faint traces behind his ears, which looked very awkward.

Chu Qi handed over a pack of tissues, which were medical tissues containing detergent, and touched his ears to show him.

After Joey reacted, he took the tissue. He was moved and surprised: "Is this kind of thing carried by ordinary people?"

This sentence actually didn't mean that the other party had to answer, so Chu Qi pursed his lips noncommittally, turned around and planned to leave.

Joey stopped him first: "Wait."

"What's the matter?" Chu Qi looked at him with clear eyes, without any hint of impatience or fear.

Of course he doesn't need to be afraid of himself, Joey thought bitterly, but Chu Qi also doesn't have the disgust that other people feel when they see his appearance, which is already very good in this world that looks at pheromones in everything. A rare thing.Joey felt that he might never meet such a rare person in his life, so he should fight for it no matter what.

"I wonder if it's an honor to invite you to dinner." He bowed and smiled, with a very low posture, but it was also an experience he had never had before, which made Joey himself feel fresh and full of expectations.

Chu Qi had never received this kind of invitation before, and he also knew that his previous image did not match his current identity, so normally speaking, should he accept or reject the invitation before him?Chu Qi subconsciously turned his attention to Simon who was standing aside and waiting. Anyway, his personal freedom was limited, so it was only appropriate to let this person decide.

Simon struggled in every possible way. The little prince who once belonged to him gradually could no longer hide the light around him. Intellectually, Simon was willing to push him out to meet powerful Alpha youths, but emotionally, he wanted to take it for himself countless times. .Under the two fighting, Simon's mental state is getting worse and worse these days, but he concealed everything well, and temporarily suppressed the strong desire in his heart, and said to Chu Qi as usual: "Yes, but I want to be there."

Joy turned and left happily, the smile on his face could not be contained no matter what.

Alger, who was hiding in the dark, looked at his general worriedly, while William's expression was hidden in a shadow, and it was completely impossible to see what he was thinking.In fact, he didn't even know what he was doing that night.According to his status, this series of actions is simply unimaginable, but he still obeyed his will and let it go for a while.

Fortunately, he still had a sliver of sanity left, and he didn't run out recklessly to take that Omega away.And that Omega could have completely belonged to him.

William was never one to avoid problems. At this moment, he had to admit that he had to think about it.

The date was at the Genting restaurant, located inside the spire of the tallest building in the city.The outer walls of the restaurant are all transparent, you can see the stars in the night sky, and you can also see the lights of thousands of houses, which is extremely romantic.

Joey took over the entire restaurant. He and Chu Qi sat opposite each other on the seat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. The lighting was dim and romantic. Unfortunately, there was an Alpha Simon sitting at another table next to them.

What a shame, Joey thought sullenly.

But he knew that he couldn't avoid this low-ranking agent, just like he couldn't avoid Chu Qi's identity.Joey shook his head, got rid of those negative, disturbing and unpleasant thoughts, and looked at Chu Qi opposite with a smile.

"Your cooking looks very professional, when did you learn it?"

Simon, who was eavesdropping openly, thought to himself, "I want to know too."

"A long time ago." Chu Qi said slowly with a nostalgic expression.

Joey was taken aback: "Was it when you were the little prince?"

Chu Qi raised his head and glanced at him: "Many people call me little prince now."

Joey suddenly didn't know what to say. People who really cared about the little prince probably wouldn't call him that in front of him. It's actually very rude to mention the past when others were proud when they were frustrated.

He wanted to comfort Chu Qi, but he didn't know how to comfort him because of his position. After all, he belonged to the new regime, and he could be regarded as a person with vested interests. He stepped on the bones of the Ron family to rise to power.

So he changed the topic to a lighter one: "After the last episode of the show, your fans did suddenly increase a lot. Everyone is full of praise for you."

"Fans?" For Chu Qi, this was also an unknown area, so he asked with a little interest: "What did they say about me?"

Joey turned on his personal communication terminal, connected to the Internet and went to the entertainment gossip forum. The key word was the post of Little Prince, which was really popular at the top of the homepage.

"See for yourself." He adjusted the light curtain to a position suitable for the people on the opposite side to watch.

Chu Qi opened it by himself and browsed quickly from top to bottom.

"The little prince in this scene is so handsome, I feel like there is nothing he can't do."

"How can he be so calm, is he still an Omega?"

"He looks good and cooks well, I really want to marry her back home."

"Thumbs up to the calm little prince, that Alpha who gave up halfway can die."

Of course, it is impossible for all the words on the forum to be praises, and some voices of doubt appeared after seeing it.Joey glanced at it so much that he wanted to close the page so that Chu Qi could not see it, but Chu Qi had already seen eight or seven lines at a glance.

"The more beautiful the flower, the more poisonous it is. The ancients did not deceive me."

"Why is my little prince poisonous?"

"In the face of torture and killing without blinking an eyelid, it is simply cold-blooded, cruel and unkind."

Joey was a little flustered when he saw it. He peeked at Chu Qi and saw his expressionless face. He hurriedly comforted him and said, "These people like to take the moral high ground and criticize others for their presence. Don't be as knowledgeable as them."

Chu Qi cast his eyes on his face, and said lightly: "They are right."

Joey choked on the trachea in one breath, neither inhaled nor spit out.

And Chu Qi then said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with saying cruel, but no matter who takes the position of that vampire, it will not be any better than it. Survival of the fittest, the reality is like this."

Joey was taken aback for another moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Be careful when you say similar things. It will be troublesome if others hear you think you are dissatisfied with the current regime."

Chu Qi raised his head and looked at him seriously: "Are you reminding me? But what does this have to do with you? Although you probably mean it well, I can't accept it calmly. Do you really not remember what happened last time?" ?”

Joey suddenly felt a fire in his ears, cleared his throat with a light cough, and said, "It was my fault, I did it before I knew what was going on, and I thought you were just refusing to welcome me." Well. Of course, you have already reported your grudge, and I called you as well. Now that this matter is over, we cooperated once on the show, so don't worry about it, right?"

Chu Qi naturally didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he nodded and said, "There's no need to mention the past, and you don't need to care so much?"

Joey was slightly taken aback. Does this mean to draw a clear line?

But since he had made up his mind, he couldn't give up so easily. Just as Joey was about to say something more, when the waiter came up with a plate, he temporarily shut up.

The appetizer was served first, and the rose-like bacon rolls were placed on the delicate white porcelain plate, which looked very beautiful. "The food here is very good. If you like natural ingredients, you must try it. I heard that this one is made of hornbill meat." Joey introduced enthusiastically.

Chu Qi took a slice and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, there was a faint meaty aroma, which was probably made by smoking and roasting fruit trees.

"It tastes good." He sincerely admired it.

Suddenly, the sun shone brightly in Joey's heart.

Chu Qi didn't know his intentions before he showed similar emotions.But Simon allowed himself to agree to Joey's invitation, and Chu Qi speculated that at least he had considered this person as a marriage partner.The current situation couldn't be more obvious, but after all, Joey is not General Pound, and he himself is not the real little prince Chu Qi, let alone his brother Andy.

So Chu Qi said it honestly: "My brother's experience cannot be replicated."

Joey knew that what he said was the truth, those things didn't really exist if he didn't ignore them deliberately.Joey is willing to work hard, but Chu Qi doesn't trust him.For a moment, Joey seemed to experience the feeling of being knocked down again. His mood had been a little worried about gains and losses, but at this moment he finally sank.

"You can't take me away, and I don't want to drag you into the water. Everyone doesn't care about the previous things, and don't have anything to do in the future." Chu Qi clearly divided the relationship between the two with a smile. After hatred, meeting is like a stranger.But when he said this, he inexplicably thought of another person, the only Alpha among the people he knew who was qualified to take him away easily.

Did he ever have expectations of him?Chu Qi couldn't immediately deny that he couldn't remember what kind of feelings happened in those ambiguous and chaotic moments.And even if there is expectation, it should and should only be the effect of pheromones. Chu Qi told himself that if he can't become an Omega, he will be weak. He can only rely on himself, sow the seeds of freedom in the cracks and care for it to take root and germinate. Until one day it grows into a towering tree.

He is confident and has enough patience.

So Chu Qi raised his head and smiled at Joey: "If you can, please continue to support me on the show."

Joey, whose mood was extremely gloomy due to frustration, finally found a ray of sunshine because of this sentence. He looked at Chu Qi again, and felt that he should at least say something, whether it was comforting or reassurance, but he hadn't thought out his words yet, and suddenly he was caught by the next door. A rapid ringing of the desk bell interrupted his thoughts.

Joey almost wanted to flip the table.

Simon next door looked at the urgent message that was sent in real time, with a rare strange expression on his face.He stood up and walked gently behind Chu Qi: "It's news from General Pound's residence."

"Big brother wants something from me?" Chu Qi asked subconsciously.

Simon shook his head: "It's a message from General Pound himself. He wants to see you, now."
