Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder Omega, Their Knees Bent Chapter 38 part 2

Chapter 38 Part 2

The Imperial Hotel had a total of fifty-three floors.

The first three floors were for dining and the reception area, while the fortieth floor and above were for hotel accommodations. Between the third and fortieth floors, there were various indoor sports facilities such as basketball courts, bowling alleys, swimming pools, and more.

He Yunzhou said, “No need to wait.”

Then he continued to speed up his steps. If he wasn’t worried about jostling Lou Ting, he would have run outright.

As He Yunzhou carried Lou Ting into the private room, he discovered that Ji Xing was already sitting inside, sipping tea.

Seeing them enter, Ji Xing appeared slightly surprised. He put down his teacup and said, “You came quite quickly.”

Ji Xing signaled the waiter to bring the menu and said, “Let’s order.”

He Yunzhou passed the menu over but directly handed it to Lou Ting.

Lou Ting had never been to this hotel and didn’t know what was good to eat. However, looking at the pictures on the menu, each dish seemed appealing, the type where you could almost taste the flavor just by looking at the images.

During the ordering process, Lou Ting asked, “Ji Xing, do you have any dietary restrictions?”

Sipping his tea, Ji Xing replied, “No, you order what you like.”

Lou Ting casually selected a few signature dishes and then handed the menu to He Yunzhou.

Lou Ting’s choices were relatively few; those few dishes clearly wouldn’t be enough for the three of them. Alphas had much larger appetites than Omegas, and these dishes might not be sufficient for just him.

While He Yunzhou was placing his order, Lou Ting took a sip of ice water and asked Ji Xing, “Le Chengzhe said those bugs are invisible to the naked eye and can’t be captured on camera. How did you manage to film the video?”

He wasn’t questioning Ji Xing’s honesty; he didn’t think Ji Xing would bother lying about such a trivial matter. His curiosity had just gotten the better of him.

If it was an advanced technology unknown to the public, anyone would want to understand it more.

Ji Xing explained, “I had someone from the Insect Tribe by my side. We had a bit of a disagreement before, and he was worried that the Insect Tribe might target him. So, he gave me that bracelet. It seems to be made using the imaging technology of a noble from the Insect Tribe.”

Ji Xing didn’t have too many details about the production process. Moreover, he hadn’t encountered a situation where he needed to use this thing, so over time, he treated it like an accessory.

On stage, he had actually used another device to record the performance. He had simply raised his wrist, and the bracelet on his wrist automatically collected the recording.

It was a stroke of luck, really.

“Do you like it?” Ji Xing took off the bracelet and handed it to Lou Ting. “Consider it a gift.”

Lou Ting had just casually asked, so he quickly said, “I was just curious, no need…”

“It’s not very useful for me to keep this. Just take it,” Ji Xing said. “I’ve been in the palace lately, and the Insect Tribe can’t find me there. If you feel awkward about accepting it, think of it as compensation. Whenever you have time, you can come to the palace to keep me company.”

With the words spoken like that, it was hard for Lou Ting to refuse. He took the bracelet and put it on immediately. “Alright.”

While they were conversing, He Yunzhou placed more orders.

The server left the room with the menu.

In this spacious private room, they hadn’t even left a single waiter behind.

He Yunzhou propped his chin up with one hand, glanced at Lou Ting, and then quickly let his hand drop, a restless look in his eyes. He asked, “Sis-in-law, you’re having dinner here. My brother is all alone in the palace, isn’t it kind of pitiful? Why don’t you go back and keep my brother company?”

“Do you want to go and keep him company?” Ji Xing knew what he was thinking, completely deflecting the conversation, “If your brother knew you had such a thought, he’d be very happy.”

“I haven’t…” He Yunzhou’s attempt to explain was cut short in just a few sentences. He looked at Lou Ting, hoping he would say something. It was about time for Lou Ting to say something!

However, Lou Ting hadn’t even looked at him. He was fully engrossed in examining the bracelet.

Originally, the seats were arranged neatly with equal spacing between them. However, because Lou Ting was focused on the bracelet, he was gradually shifting in Ji Xing’s direction.

Even the chair was moving along with him!

While He Yunzhou was trying to establish eye contact with Lou Ting, Lou Ting had already created a considerable distance between them.

He Yunzhou: “…”

I feel like I’ve been isolated.

In this situation, He Yunzhou felt like he should say something. But before he could open his mouth, the doorbell in the private room rang.

The voice of the server came through the intercom, “Hello, can we start serving the dishes now?”

He Yunzhou raised his hand and pressed the button beside him.

The server responded, “Of course.”

The door to the private room immediately swung open.

Each dish was brought in by a dedicated server, placed on the table, and without any pause, they turned and left.

Each dish was meticulously presented.

Setting aside the taste for a moment, just the appearance of each dish was enough to whet one’s appetite.

All the dishes were served, and the server bowed at the door, saying, “Wishing you a pleasant dining experience. If you have any questions, please press the call button, and we’ll be there within three seconds to provide you with the best service.”

After the server left, He Yunzhou picked up his chopsticks and tried to pick up a piece of chicken drenched in chili oil to give to Lou Ting. But at this moment, he realized that Lou Ting had not only moved his chair but even his bowl!

A distinguished financial magnate, a titan in the business world, and yet his dinner partner was so far away. Wasn’t this like he was being snubbed?

He Yunzhou couldn’t tolerate this. Taking advantage of the fact that Lou Ting was engrossed in conversation with Ji Xing, he discreetly pulled Lou Ting’s bowl closer, placed the chicken in his bowl with a satisfied grin, and then sat up straight, saying, “Let’s eat first. Stop chatting. You skipped breakfast, aren’t you hungry?”

Ji Xing turned to him and asked, “You didn’t have breakfast?”

Lou Ting nodded, “I had to rush to get my makeup done in the morning for the performance. I didn’t have time for a proper meal, and I don’t like the taste of nutrient solutions, so I didn’t eat.”

“I have some meal replacement powder that’s quite filling. I’ll bring some for you next time.”

“Sure.” In their earlier conversation, Lou Ting found that many of his thoughts aligned with Ji Xing’s from various aspects. They shared the same opinions on dislikes and interests alike. In many matters, they were on the same page, which instantly bridged the gap between them.

Lou Ting added, “That would be great. I forgot to bring my cloak this time.”

Ji Xing had almost forgotten about the cloak since Lou Ting hadn’t mentioned it, “Okay, I’ll…”

*Snap*

A crisp sound of breaking interrupted Ji Xing’s words. Both of them looked towards the source of the sound.

He Yunzhou chuckled as he tossed the broken chopsticks into the trash and exchanged them for a new pair, “Let’s eat. The food will get cold soon.”

Lou Ting and Ji Xing exchanged a glance and both raised their lips in a smile.

“Let’s eat.”

“Yeah.”

Seeing these two finally finish their conversation, He Yunzhou handed Lou Ting a piece of well-prepared fish, “I tasted it just now; the fish is very tender. You’ll probably like it.”

Lou Ting did enjoy eating fish, but the memory of choking on a fishbone had made him wary. Since then, he rarely ate fish. However, with this boneless fish, Lou Ting found it quite delightful.

The fish was still warm, perfectly tender, and flavorful as He Yunzhou had drizzled some sauce on it. 

Lou Ting commented, “Delicious.”

He Yunzhou gestured to the piece of cold chicken in his bowl, “Try the cold chicken. It’s made using an ancient Earth recipe.”

“It’s delicious too.”

“And this…”

Throughout the meal, He Yunzhou barely ate; he was focused on feeding Lou Ting. He reached over and put food into Lou Ting’s bowl. Anything that needed deboning or shelling was prepared that way.

His attentiveness knew no bounds.

Ji Xing hadn’t said a word the whole time they were eating. He had just taken a few bites of the vegetarian dishes in front of him, avoiding the meat dishes completely.

Looking at these two, who were leaning towards each other and feeding each other like a couple, Ji Xing couldn’t help but shake his head. “He Yunzhou… I’m quite disappointed in you.”

While Lou Ting was continuously being fed, he started feeling full after a while. He raised his hand to cover his bowl, declining He Yunzhou’s attempts to put more food in it. “I’m full now. You eat.”

He Yunzhou put down his chopsticks and said, “I’m not hungry. If you’re full, let’s head back.”

“Huh? But…”

“I really am not hungry.” He Yunzhou said, “Sister-in-law, we’re heading back first.”

Ji Xing had already put down his chopsticks long ago. He watched He Yunzhou’s eagerness to take care of Lou Ting with amusement. He nodded, suppressing his laughter, “Alright, Lou Ting has a variety show recording tomorrow, so I won’t keep you. We can chat next time when we have the opportunity.”

Before Lou Ting could say a word, He Yunzhou picked him up. Since the last time he had carried him and not been beaten up afterward, He Yunzhou seemed to have gotten more comfortable with carrying him.

Lou Ting stuttered, “W-Wait.”

Ji Xing raised his tea cup, smiled, and nodded at him. No words were exchanged, but the two seemed to understand each other’s intentions.

He Yunzhou didn’t notice the subtle interactions between the two and was solely focused on leaving before they continued their conversation. He pushed open the door and carried Lou Ting away.

He couldn’t afford to stay longer. Another word, and he might end up getting dragged to the palace!

A few steps out, Lou Ting didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye to Ji Xing. At the entrance, he said, “Take your time, I haven’t paid the bill yet. Remember, I’m treating you.”

“This is my sister-in-law’s restaurant. How could he let you pay?” He Yunzhou chuckled. “He’s just teasing you.”

Lou Ting asked curiously, “Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

He Yunzhou’s lips sealed shut.

Silence.

Quiet.

He Yunzhou was employing the tactic of silence – he was playing mute.

In silence, he carefully lifted Lou Ting into the car. At this moment, the manager rushed over, panting, “Wait, Mr. He! Wait, don’t leave yet.”

He Yunzhou hadn’t closed the car door. The manager caught up, and he said, “His Highness said to have Mr. Lou take this back.”

As he spoke, the electric wheelchair was lifted into the car.

“No nee…” Before he could finish, the manager smiled and said, “Please don’t hesitate, Mr. He. This is our responsibility.” He even thoughtfully closed the car door for him.

He Yunzhou: “…”

Observing He Yunzhou’s stern expression, Lou Ting couldn’t help but hide a smile behind his lips. When He Yunzhou wasn’t looking, he took the piece of paper from the wheelchair.

On it were a few simple words: Give it a try.

Lou Ting smiled and hid the note. Yes, it was time to give it a try.

—

The next day.

Lou Ting didn’t trouble He Yunzhou. He decided to use the wheelchair to go outside and see He Yunzhou’s reaction.

Coincidentally, He Yunzhou had gone out to buy breakfast. Lou Ting planned to seize this opportunity to use the wheelchair and wait for him in the training room.

However, the wheelchair that was placed by the bedside seemed to have vanished without a trace. Confused, Lóu Tíng searched around the room but couldn’t find any sign of the wheelchair anywhere.

He looked at the bed and thought, I remember… I put it here after bringing it up yesterday, right? How could it disappear after a night’s sleep?

Just as he was pondering this, Lóu Tíng heard a clashing sound from outside the window. Curiously, he looked out and immediately spotted the wheelchair outside, now reduced to a pile of twisted metal bars.

The supporting frames were bent in various directions, and the touch screen was placed on top of the heap of scrap metal, blinking with its indicator lights struggling to function.

Lóu Tíng: “…”

Did He Yúnzhōu actually twist the wheels into such shapes?!
