Top Omega Pretending To Be Good Again Chapter 15 and Chapter 16

Chapter 15: Seizing the Opportunity to Get Closer to Him

Shen Mu admitted that he was deeply moved. He never expected that even though he was an adult, someone would still call him a “little kid” in such an indulgent tone.

Due to his family background, no one had ever called him that, even when he was very young. Except… that brother. Him.

And now, after more than a decade, that person called him by that name again.

That’s not true. Shen Mu couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.

If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to stay at Gu Jun’s house a little longer and wanted to develop a closer relationship with Gu Jun, he wouldn’t need tutoring for assignments and exams.

After all, he was the top scorer in the Second Star District’s college entrance examination, and even at A University, he ranked first in his department.

But Gu Jun’s words clearly carried a sense of indulgence, and he felt his heart melting.

So, Shen Mu “went along with it” and said, “Okay, I admit it.”

“What do you want to eat?” Gu Jun asked.

You. Shen Mu silently moved his lips.

“What?” Gu Jun raised an eyebrow slightly, “I didn’t hear clearly.”

Looking at his lip movements, why did he feel like the little kid said something extraordinary?

Then Gu Jun shook his head gently. He must have misread it and thought too much.

“What do you want to eat, Gege? I can make it for you,” Shen Mu countered in response.

“How could I let you cook?” Gu Jun said while walking towards the kitchen, “We have a cooking machine at home.”

Cooking machines were not popular in the Lumina Star System. Firstly, these machines were expensive, and secondly, they held a somewhat awkward position.

Although the meals prepared by the cooking machine could fill one’s stomach, their taste was indeed mediocre. The fixed operating mode resulted in repetitive dishes. In such cases, those who had high culinary standards wouldn’t choose to buy one, while those who didn’t care much about food would opt for nutritional supplements instead.

As a result, the number of people willing to spend a large sum of money on a cooking machine was indeed quite limited.

Shen Mu didn’t expect Gu Jun to be one of them.

“Here, this is the menu. Feel free to order whatever you like,” Gu Jun pointed to the cooking machine, indicating to Shen Mu.

“…Alright.” In fact, Shen Mu had specifically learned how to cook, tailoring his skills to Gu Jun’s taste preferences. Today, he had planned to show off his cooking skills, but the General didn’t give him the opportunity.

With the cooking machine activated, Gu Jun took Shen Mu to the study while the food was being prepared.

“Which book should we study?” Gu Jun pulled out a chair in front of the desk for Shen Mu to sit on, and then brought another chair to place beside it.

“Let’s study advanced mathematics. I find that subject quite difficult,” Shen Mu opened his school bag and took out the textbook, placing it on the table. “I also have trouble with the practice problems the teacher assigned.”

It’s not difficult at all; he had just scored full marks on the recent classroom test.

However, for subjects like advanced mathematics that required calculations, when Gu Jun helped him with practice problems, it provided an opportunity for them to get closer to each other. When Gu Jun wrote with his hand, if they were too far apart, Gu Jun’s hand would obstruct some formulas. That would be the perfect moment for Shen Mu to get closer…

Shen Mu silently praised his own cleverness.

This was indeed a good method.

Chapter 16: Don’t Want to Return to the Dormitory Tonight

“Okay.” Gu Jun took out a stack of scratch papers from the drawer. Shen Mu specified a few problems, and Gu Jun patiently worked out the solutions, explaining along the way.

“Here, this is an indefinite integral, so we need to add a constant, C, here…”

Under the desk lamp, the shadow of the pen tip trembled slightly. The hand holding the carbon pen was slender with distinct joints.

Shen Mu lowered his gaze, gradually shifting his focus from the words on the scratch paper to Gu Jun’s hand as he wrote. His mind was racing, and he took the opportunity to inch closer to Gu Jun, little by little.

Time seemed to blur as the sound of problem-solving came to a halt. Suddenly, Gu Jun put down the pen and turned his head to look at Shen Mu.

Too… too close—they were only a few centimeters apart. If either of them leaned forward just a bit, they would meet perfectly.

Thump, thump, thump… Shen Mu felt like his heart was about to burst out of his chest. He instinctively slowed his breathing and even his eyelashes trembled slightly.

However, despite being so close, neither of them moved forward, nor did they retreat or avoid each other.

Their eyes met, and several seconds passed in this manner. It felt like it had been an entire century.

“Little kid.” Gu Jun’s thin lips parted, enunciating slowly, “Didn’t I say that if you couldn’t solve the problems, I would help you with your homework?”

Shen Mu nodded slightly.

Then, he heard that deep, magnetic voice tinged with a subtle hint of amusement, “But what were you just looking at?”

Shen Mu’s earlobes reddened again. It’s said that the rain keeps people together. In reality, the same can be said for late-night snowfall.

But for this “perfect timing” to work, there also needs to be “harmony between people.”

With reddened earlobes, Shen Mu listened as Gu Jun finished explaining an entire chapter’s worth of problems, and then they had dinner together.

It was already past 9 p.m. by now, and there was less than half an hour until the curfew at A University—Shen Mu intentionally didn’t mention their curfew time to Gu Jun.

He wanted Gu Jun to continue with the next chapter’s problems, hoping that if they studied a little longer, he wouldn’t have to go back to the dormitory tonight.

But things didn’t go as he wished. Gu Jun didn’t show any intention to continue with the problems.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go, I’ll walk you back,” Gu Jun said in a calm voice while tidying Shen Mu’s school bag.

“It’s still early though,” Shen Mu muttered softly as he watched Gu Jun organize his belongings.

“Indeed, it’s not that late past nine o’clock,” Gu Jun confirmed the time again. “But A University has a curfew at ten o’clock. If you’re too late, you won’t make it through the campus gate.”

“You… know the curfew time of our university?”

“Mhm, I looked it up before we met today,” Gu Jun said as he zipped up the school bag and effortlessly slung it over his shoulder.

This gesture seemed so natural, as if the bag belonged to him. For those who knew, they understood that Gu Jun was being considerate and caring. For those who didn’t know, they might think he was rushing Shen Mu to leave.

“Oh, okay,” Shen Mu pursed his lips, feeling that Gu Jun was both gentle and somewhat intriguing.

He didn’t want to go back to the dormitory tonight. And Gu Jun couldn’t even sense it.

Although Shen Mu didn’t have any specific plans for tonight, he wanted to spend more time with Gu Jun, just a little longer. The so-called reluctance to part, perhaps this was the feeling.

However, he also understood the principle of going too far. In the current atmosphere, he couldn’t force himself to stay.

“I… I can carry my own school bag,” Shen Mu said, following behind Gu Jun as they walked outside, reaching out to take his own bag.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jun suddenly stopped in his tracks, and Shen Mu was lost in thought for a moment. Then, with a “thud,” his chest collided with Gu Jun’s broad and sturdy back.

“Sorry,” Shen Mu instinctively took a step back, quickly apologizing.

“I should be the one apologizing,” Gu Jun turned around and instinctively reached out to pull Shen Mu. His gaze glanced at Shen Mu’s chest through the clothes, “Did it hurt from the collision?”

Shen Mu was wearing a thick down jacket at the moment, so naturally, nothing could be seen.

But for some reason, Gu Jun’s gaze lingering on his chest made him feel a slight warmth spreading throughout his body.

“It didn’t hurt,” Shen Mu shook his head, “I didn’t feel any pain.”

“Mhm,” Gu Jun lowered his hand, which he had instinctively raised, and spoke in a gentle tone, “I’m sorry, little kid. I haven’t… tried to establish an intimate relationship with an Omega before. So, there might be many things I don’t do well enough, not considerate enough.”

Shen Mu gently shook his head.

Why was Gu Jun apologizing again? It was clearly his own fault for spacing out…

Besides, Gu Jun was so considerate. From opening the car door for him, carrying his school bag, providing warm water to warm his hands, adjusting the air conditioning temperature, to pulling out a chair for him and walking him back to the dormitory.

All of these things were beyond considerate, to the point where he felt almost embarrassed! It was even more considerate than what was deemed as a “perfect boyfriend” in the Omega fan club.

And, if he hadn’t misheard, Gu Jun had just mentioned “trying to establish an intimate relationship”…

And he was the object of this intimate relationship. Thinking about this, a beautiful curve formed at the corner of Shen Mu’s lips.

“It seems like you really didn’t feel any pain,” Gu Jun caught sight of Shen Mu’s smile and stored it in his mind. “Let’s go, curfew time is approaching.”

“Oh, okay.”

The two boarded the shuttle. This time, Shen Mu took the initiative to sit in the co-pilot seat. After all, he was Gu Jun’s fiancé now, so sitting in the co-pilot seat was more than appropriate.

Seeing how eager Shen Mu was to get on the shuttle, Gu Jun assumed it was because curfew time was approaching, and he was in a hurry to return to the university.

“It’s alright. Your school isn’t far from here, and we still have enough time to drive back,” Gu Jun said as he opened the rear door of the shuttle, “But if you’re really in a rush, I can drive a bit faster.”

“I’m already seated, it would be troublesome to move to the back,” Shen Mu said quickly when he saw Gu Jun opening the rear door.

“Hmm?” Gu Jun placed Shen Mu’s school bag in the back seat, “I’m just putting the bag here.”

“…” Shen Mu realized that he had misunderstood due to being overly sensitive, so he felt a bit embarrassed and lowered his head, “Oh.”

After placing the school bag, Gu Jun casually took out the backrest pillow from the rear seat.

He sat in the driver’s seat and handed the pillow to Shen Mu. “Here.”

“T-Thank you.” In truth, Shen Mu wasn’t feeling cold anymore and didn’t need a blanket. The awkwardness from earlier had made his ears feel hot.

“No need to thank me.” Gu Jun began driving the shuttle.

Just as Gu Jun had said, the shuttle’s speed now was noticeably faster compared to when they traveled from Gu Jun’s house earlier.

Shen Mu hugged the plush pillow in his arms and lightly rubbed his chin against the edge of the pillow. He murmured softly, “Actually, you can drive slower.”

I still want to spend a little more time with you, I don’t want to return to the university so soon.

“Don’t worry, I’m a skilled driver,” Gu Jun replied calmly.

“I’m not worried about that,” Shen Mu whispered.

Why would he worry about Gu Jun’s driving skills? He was General Gu Jun, known for his exceptional piloting abilities. Whether it was a shuttle or a mecha, he handled them with ease, “unscathed amidst a thousand enemies.”

“Mhm.” Gu Jun acknowledged but still slowed down the driving speed a bit.
