[ABO] The Little Mute Had His Thoughts Heard by the Villain’s Whole Family – CH5

Chapter 5: They Touched!

After His Majesty granted the marriage, he had never met the Omega from the Shi family.

But at previous royal banquets, all the Carlos brothers except Yu Mian had seen Shi Yi before.

Only the Shi family themselves believed that Shi Yi and Shi Sheng differed only in their voices.

“Big Brother,” Yu Mian reminded him in a low voice, “that’s the Omega from the Shi family.”

“Mm.”

Elaine lowered his eyes and glanced at the spotless glove on his hand, then slowly walked toward Shi Sheng.

Yu Mian quietly exchanged a glance with Lindsay. Neither of them was optimistic about the Omega’s first meeting with their eldest brother.

They watched as Elaine walked up to Shi Sheng.

As the distance between them grew smaller, the difference in their physiques became even more obvious. Elaine was already tall, and from behind, his figure could completely block Shi Sheng from view.

It was like the difference between a wolf and a young kitten. The pressure it brought to the kitten went without saying.

Shi Sheng lifted his head and looked at the Alpha slowly approaching him, his gaze falling straight into the other party’s golden eyes.

A faint fragrance drifted into his nose. Shi Sheng paused slightly, then instinctively took a step back.

Elaine’s eyes darkened.

Yu Mian gave a cold snort. As expected, Shi Sheng was still afraid of Big Brother. What obsession, what love? Once he met the real person, it all became a joke.

Look at him. His face had gone pale from fright.

[A scent…]

A dazed voice suddenly sounded.

[It smells so nice, but very gentle. Is it an Omega’s pheromone?]

A trace of surprise flashed through Elaine’s eyes.

[Elaine… has another Omega? Does he have someone he likes?]

[Then why didn’t he refuse His Majesty’s marriage decree?]

By now, Shi Sheng had already looked away and lowered his head. His lips did not move, but Elaine could already confirm that this was Shi Sheng’s voice.

[Then wouldn’t I become the other person?]

[But, but…]

Yu Mian, who was secretly listening from the side, pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what “but” he was going to say.

But Shi Sheng’s voice temporarily disappeared.

“Shi Yi.”

Elaine’s cold voice sounded above Shi Sheng’s head. Shi Sheng lifted his head and saw the Alpha looking down at him, slightly raising his arm.

Shi Sheng blinked slowly and blankly.

Elaine said calmly, “In the Carlos family, an Omega should support his Alpha home.”

Shi Sheng suddenly understood and hurriedly reached out carefully.

“?” Yu Mian asked Lindsay in confusion, “Is there such a rule?”

Besides, did his big brother need anyone to support him? He stood straighter than the utility poles outside, all right? And judging from those two, it was more like Shi Sheng was linking arms with Big Brother. Anyone who didn’t know better would think they were entering a ballroom.

Lindsay shrugged, indicating that he did not know either.

Shi Sheng held Elaine’s arm and stepped up the stairs. The two of them were even closer now. From this angle, when Elaine lowered his head, all he could see was the fluffy crown of Shi Sheng’s head.

That red hair looked soft, but its owner seemed to be trembling.

Elaine thought that sure enough, the scent of blood he had picked up on the battlefield over the years could not be washed away. Especially in front of an Omega who was exceptionally sensitive to smells, it was not strange that Shi Sheng would be afraid.

It seemed that spraying perfume on the way here had not been a wise decision. When he got back, he would have to deduct Alried’s salary, because this terrible idea had come from him.

[We touched! We touched!]

Shi Sheng’s voice suddenly rang out again, and it was completely different from the dejection earlier. It even sounded rather excited.

[I thought Elaine wouldn’t pay attention to me at all, but he actually let me hold his arm. I totally won.]

[Ah, I can feel his muscles even through his sleeve. His figure is so good… hehe.]

[He’s so tall. I really want to look up and see his face… Will he take off the bite suppressor after we go inside? Although he looks very cool wearing it, our Elaine’s face is so handsome it looks like it was personally carved by a goddess. What a pity to cover it up.]

[That was close, that was close. I almost tripped over my own feet.]

[Elaine supported me! We’re even closer now!]

[Too bad that seems to be an Omega’s scent… I really want to smell Elaine’s pheromones.]

The two of them reached the entrance of the main hall. A servant stepped forward to take the coat Elaine had taken off.

“Alried.” Elaine turned back and called his adjutant. “The aromatherapy at that inn on the way here is substandard. Inform them to replace it.”

“Huh?” Alried was completely confused, but he still obediently noted it down.

[So it was aromatherapy.]

[I knew it. There’s no way there could be information about Elaine in this world that I don’t know.]

Yu Mian could not bear to listen any longer. He stepped forward and asked, “Big Brother, didn’t the entire legion go to the palace? Don’t you need to see His Majesty?”

Elaine was lowering his head to remove the bite suppressor and did not answer his question.

Alried explained to Yu Mian, “The Marshal got hungry on the way, so he came home to have breakfast.”

“?”

This time, it was not only Yu Mian. Even Lindsay’s face was full of question marks.

Their eldest brother, the commander of the Galactic Legion, the Empire’s Thanatos—every time he returned from the battlefield, he would head straight to the palace to report to His Majesty. Most of the remaining time, he spent at military headquarters.

Home? To him, home was nothing more than a hotel.

No, this vast Carlos estate was merely a place of residence to each and every one of them.

Elaine completely ignored his younger brothers’ strange gazes. After removing the bite suppressor, he turned his head and looked at Shi Sheng.

“Have you had breakfast?”

Shi Sheng froze for a moment before realizing that Elaine was asking him. He quickly nodded, then immediately shook his head.

“Come eat something together,” Elaine said. “The Carlos family has no rule of withholding breakfast from Omegas.”

This time, it was the butler’s turn to wipe his sweat. He quickly led everyone to the dining room.

Their breakfast had originally been interrupted by Elaine’s return. Yu Mian and Lindsay had not eaten their fill either, so they followed along.

In truth, they had never liked eating with Elaine. The members of this family not only respected Elaine, but also carried a faint fear of him.

But who told them Shi Sheng’s inner voice was far too intriguing?

For example, at this very moment, after everyone sat down beside the long dining table, no one spoke. The atmosphere was extremely cold and quiet.

Meanwhile, Shi Sheng continued his unfinished business—spreading jam on his toast. He still looked expressionless, his eyes lowered as though he were very focused, but anyone could see that the hand holding the spoon was trembling slightly. His gaze also kept secretly drifting toward Elaine.

[As expected, after taking off the bite suppressor, he’s handsome in a completely different style.]

[His hair has gotten so long. When we met that year, it was still short.]

[Why aren’t Yu Mian and the others saying anything? The atmosphere is so serious.]

[It feels like everyone is a little afraid of Elaine. Seriously, he’s clearly such a gentle person.]

Elaine’s hand paused. From the corner of his eye, he saw Shi Sheng slowly eat the toast after finishing with the jam. He ate very slowly, and when he picked up the milk, there was also a tiny pause.

“Merico.” Elaine called the butler over. “Starting tomorrow, replace all the milk with oat milk.”

Yu Mian immediately said, “Why? I don’t like drinking oat milk.”

Elaine gave him a faint look.
