[ABO] The Little Mute Had His Thoughts Heard by the Villain’s Whole Family – CH27

Chapter 27: A Stolen Kiss

The aircraft soon stopped at the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.

Hovis was still wearing his police uniform jacket carelessly over his shoulders, an electronic cigarette between his fingers as he waited at the entrance.

Seeing Elaine accompany Shi Sheng over, he only raised his brows very slightly and did not seem particularly curious.

According to procedure, Shi Sheng could only go in alone to accept the investigation.

Elaine did not use any special privilege. He only helped Shi Sheng fasten his coat again. “Don’t be afraid. Nothing will happen.”

Shi Sheng’s entire heart was still immersed in their conversation from earlier. At this moment, he felt as if nothing could make him afraid anymore.

He tried hard to let Elaine see his smile.

Elaine also curved the corner of his lips.

Hovis finished the last puff of his electronic cigarette. “All right. Go in.”

When Yu Mian got out of the car, he only saw Shi Sheng following Hovis away from behind.

“They’re really investigating?” Only after the two figures disappeared did Yu Mian withdraw his gaze. “Wasn’t it just an accident? Just give that student a sum of money and be done with it.”

Yu Mian spoke in confusion, also a little unhappy. “I don’t know who’s guiding public opinion, but the Star Network is full of people scolding Shi Sheng. When we get back, I’ll find someone to ban all their accounts.”

“Yu Mian.” Elaine interrupted his younger brother, his expression cold. “Don’t let him hear those words.”

Yu Mian froze. “What’s wrong with those words?”

After their mother passed away, Elaine spent most of his time on the battlefield. In this world, there really had never been anyone who could restrain Yu Mian.

No one had ever taught him what kind of moral standards a person should have.

Elaine had always known about the flaws in his two younger brothers’ natures.

But he himself was not a kind person either, so naturally, he did not know how he should teach them.

From the day they were born, the Carlos family had been given the name of monsters.

Only at this moment, Elaine suddenly did not want this side exposed before Shi Sheng.

Marrying into the Carlos family was already unfortunate enough.

Seeing his big brother say nothing, Yu Mian did not dare ask again.

But in his heart, Yu Mian found it somewhat funny. Was Big Brother afraid that Shi Sheng would think these words were too much if he heard them? Just like how everyone scolded them on the Star Network, saying they were arrogant, domineering, cold-blooded, and cruel nobles?

But they were already people like that to begin with.

Yu Mian’s gaze fell through the glass window into the Metropolitan Police Department. There were many indistinct figures inside, but he could not see the familiar one.

He thought, clearly everyone knew that they were people like this.

Through Hovis’s explanation, Shi Sheng finally understood the situation completely.

He pulled up the source file of the program on his bracelet and handed it over to the Metropolitan Police Department for comparison.

From the data, it was indeed the same file he had submitted.

Shi Sheng’s expression was serious. In front of the police, he ran his own program again, and there was no problem.

He requested the operation recording of that student at the time.

“Wasn’t this autopilot?” Hovis leaned against the table. “Could there still be a possibility of an accident caused by operational error?”

Shi Sheng shook his head and took out his voice device. “Operation, is, very, simple. Error, possibility, small.”

“But, program, matching, may, have, errors.”

Hovis was not proficient in information technology, but contrary to his appearance and aura, this Alpha was unexpectedly patient. “You mean a matching issue between the program file and the mecha equipment?”

Shi Sheng nodded, then added, “Only, a, possibility.”

“I’ll have the appraisal department continue investigating.” Hovis indicated that he understood and glanced at Shi Sheng’s voice device. “That thing is pretty interesting.”

At this time, the appraisal department ran Shi Sheng’s program again and confirmed there were no problems.

“All right, you can go back first.” Hovis walked Shi Sheng to the door. “Thanks for your trouble.”

Shi Sheng turned around and seriously pressed his voice device. “If, there, are, any, problems, I, will, cooperate. You, may, come, to, Carlos, to, find, me.”

Hovis smiled indifferently. “I wouldn’t dare go there.”

Yu Mian turned his head when he heard their voices, but he stood where he was and did not move. He only glanced at Hovis.

Hovis lowered his eyes and lit another electronic cigarette, greeted Elaine, then turned and went inside.

“It smells awful.” Yu Mian suddenly said in disgust. “Big Brother, can we go back? I hate the smell of smoke.”

Shi Sheng was a little puzzled. When Hovis left, he had not seemed to have started smoking yet.

On the way back, Shi Sheng opened the Star Network and looked around. He discovered that this matter had already spread through the military academy, and quite a few people were scolding him.

One glance was enough to tell that Ji Sui had a hand in it.

[I’ve disliked Shi Yi for a long time. He always ignored school rules just because he was a genius.]

[Clearly, he relied on being good-looking and played the Alphas at school in circles.]

[Exactly. He’s like he has prince syndrome.]

[They praised him so much, and then he immediately caused such a huge disaster.]

[I wanted to say this too. I saw him bullying his cousin before. Just looking at him, you can tell he doesn’t have an easy personality.]

[In the end, Ji Sui’s program didn’t have any problems.]

[Shi Yi has to take responsibility for this matter, right? Is the school really not going to take any action?]

[Who would dare say anything? He’s Madam Carlos now.]

[Sure enough, people enter the doors of families like themselves. This Carlos family really is terrifying.]

…

Shi Sheng had originally been very calm. But when he saw them speaking badly of Carlos, his expression gradually turned cold. He operated his bracelet and found the IPs of those people, preparing to hack into their Star Network accounts and give them a tiny lesson.

He was very law-abiding, but he did not want others to talk about Elaine and the others like this.

Hmph. I’ll implant a tentacle-monster dancing virus for you all. Let’s see you spread rumors!

“Do you need me to handle it?”

Elaine’s voice sounded beside his ear, and Shi Sheng came back to his senses.

The Alpha’s gaze swept toward the Star Network forum. Only then did Shi Sheng realize that his expression had probably made Elaine misunderstand.

He shook his head. “I, can, solve, it, myself.”

Ji Sui had caused trouble again and again. Shi Sheng had not cared before, but now he did not plan to keep yielding.

Besides, before his older brother returned, he still had to protect his brother’s things well.

Ji Sui would regret it. He should not have looked down on Shi Sheng.

When it was time to sleep at night, Shi Sheng obediently wrapped himself in the blanket as usual, but his heart was beating very fast.

This was the first time he was lying beside Elaine under his own identity.

Around him was the faint scent of body wash.

Shi Sheng had not smelled Elaine’s pheromones for some time.

He seemed a little unable to sleep, but he did not dare disturb Elaine. Carefully, he turned over to face the wall.

But Elaine’s voice came from behind him. “Can’t sleep?”

Shi Sheng suddenly turned back over and met Elaine’s eyes beneath the moonlight.

He looked a little dazed.

At this moment, a question suddenly jumped into his mind—

The Carlos residence was so big, so why had Elaine never asked him to sleep in another room?

They were connected by a family marriage, not spouses joined together because they loved each other.

Seeing Shi Sheng lost in thought, Elaine propped his forehead with one hand, his eyes carrying a smile as he lowered them to look at the Omega. “What is it?”

[Oh no, I’m going to be bewitched by Elaine’s face again.]

[Is Elaine a demon? Does he become especially good-looking at night?]

[Shi Sheng, oh Shi Sheng, how can you let beauty delay you like this?]

A trace of surprise flashed through Elaine’s eyes. He felt that the contrast between the Omega’s expressionless face and rich inner thoughts was truly adorable.

He was trying hard to find some topics Shi Sheng might like.

But then he saw Shi Sheng reach under the pillow and pick up his voice device. “Elaine, I, want, to, ask, you, a, question.”

Elaine said, “What question?”

Shi Sheng was quiet for a while. He lowered his head and looked at the voice device, then slowly put it down again.

Elaine thought he did not want to ask anymore, but saw Shi Sheng seem to make up his mind, slowly gesturing with both hands.

The room was silent.

Shi Sheng knew Elaine did not understand. He smiled and picked up the voice device again.

But then he heard Elaine say, “Perhaps not.”

Shi Sheng’s movement paused. He looked at Elaine in surprise.

Elaine said, “Actually, I don’t know whether this can already be considered good enough. I also often worry that you are not used to life here.”

Shi Sheng quickly shook his head.

Elaine’s answer just now had disrupted his thoughts. After quite a while, he picked up the voice device and asked, “The, sign, language, just, now. Did, you, understand?”

Elaine gave an “Mm.” “I’ve been learning these days. I can already understand the general meaning.”

Shi Sheng’s eyes widened in surprise.

Elaine was so busy. Did he still have time to learn sign language?

But what need was there? Was it only because of him?

Elaine’s gaze was gentle as he helped pull Shi Sheng’s blanket into place. “All right. Sleep.”

“May the Goddess of Dreams favor you.”

Shi Sheng felt as if his soul had floated up in Elaine’s low voice.

In this moment, the attraction of a 100% compatibility rate seemed to be magnified infinitely.

But he had used all his courage just to walk to Elaine’s side. When he truly faced Elaine, there were many things he did not dare ask aloud instead.

Just like earlier, he could only borrow the method of thinking Elaine would not understand and secretly ask.

He asked Elaine: if the one who had married in back then had been his older brother, would Elaine have treated his brother this well too?

Perhaps he would. Elaine was already a very good person.

But Shi Sheng was a worldly person. He would grow greedy.

These days, Elaine would give him collars, accompany him to breakfast, and soothe him with pheromones when he felt unwell.

He would care for him and tell him not to be afraid.

Shi Sheng had actually always been very greedy. At first, he had wanted to get close to Elaine. Later, he had wanted to marry him.

And now, he wanted Elaine’s kindness toward him to be not only because Elaine was a good person.

Shi Sheng stared blankly at the dark ceiling, thinking for who knew how long.

Something in his chest was beating violently, and there was an impulse in his body.

—He and Elaine were legal spouses. Being a little greedier should not count as too much, right?

It was deep at night. No one would know.

Shi Sheng’s hand hidden under the blanket tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened.

Reason told him that Elaine was already good enough to him. He could not do anything that would trouble the other person.

But another little demon Shi Sheng in his heart said, secretly. Elaine would not know.

How long could he keep this title?

Although Elaine said he should stay at Carlos peacefully, what if…

What if in the future, Elaine met an Omega he liked?

At that time, all Shi Sheng would have left was a marriage that trapped Elaine.

Just once. Just be willful once.

Shi Sheng, you had nothing to begin with. Grabbing just a tiny bit of what you want is not too much.

Shi Sheng sniffed, forcing back the inexplicable tears in his eyes.

He finally made a decision and carefully moved closer to Elaine.

Elaine in sleep had a side profile like the most carefully carved work of the Goddess.

Shi Sheng slowly propped himself up a little, using the moonlight to look at Elaine carefully.

The gland at the back of his neck heated faintly, and a primitive impulse drove Shi Sheng on.

Just be selfish once.

Shi Sheng made up his mind, tightly closed his eyes, lowered his head, and very lightly, very briefly, touched Elaine’s lips.

Perhaps because it had been too brief, he did not feel happy because of it.

Shi Sheng felt sad over his own lack of contentment.

Like someone who had done something wrong, he shrank back into the blanket, but his gaze still fell on Elaine’s face.

After staring blankly for who knew how long, Shi Sheng entered a dream without realizing it.

Moonlight spilled over the white silk quilt.

Elaine opened his eyes, his golden gaze hidden in the darkness.

When it came to telling whether a person had truly fallen asleep, he was much better at it than Shi Sheng.

The Alpha’s expression was calm. In his eyes was an emotion that Shi Sheng would not understand even if he were awake.

The dragonfly-touch-like sensation still remained on his lips. Elaine, for once, sighed.

He reached out and gently pulled the Omega, whose brows were furrowed even in sleep, into his arms. He paused, then briefly touched the gland at the back of Shi Sheng’s neck with his fingers.

It was a little hot. This would make Shi Sheng uncomfortable even in his dreams.

Pheromones were released little by little, slowly, until the temperature of the gland returned to normal.

Elaine lowered his head and gently kissed away Shi Sheng’s faintly knitted brow.
