[ABO] The Little Mute Had His Thoughts Heard by the Villain’s Whole Family – CH7

Chapter 7: The Protagonist O’s Identity

[Oh my god, was that distance just now real? So handsome, so handsome, so handsome, so handsome…]

[He went to shower. After he finishes showering, he won’t still be dressed that tightly, right? His pheromones won’t be covered up that well either, right? Hehe.]

[I actually get to sit on the bed one day and wait for Elaine to come out after showering. What kind of good fortune is this? His Majesty really is such a good person.]

Perhaps it was because the temperature in the bathroom was too high, but Elaine felt a rather ominous sort of strangeness.

There was no helping it. He could only have the artificial intelligence lower the bathwater temperature a little.

Shi Sheng forced himself not to close his eyes. After waiting for quite a while, Elaine finally came out of the bathroom.

He tried hard to open his eyes and look over, and instantly woke up completely.

Under the moonlight, the Alpha’s tall and slender body was hidden inside a black silk sleeping robe. Perhaps because the belt had been tied casually, the collar was slightly too open, allowing one to see at a glance the firm and beautifully shaped muscles of his chest.

Shi Sheng slowly blinked, while his heart had already begun screaming.

“…”

Elaine, whose hearing was already far beyond ordinary people’s, only felt that he was about to go deaf.

And yet the Omega who had almost screamed him deaf had no expression on his face at all. The way he sat there hugging the pillow even looked a little dazed.

Elaine pulled the towel down from his head and handed it to Shi Sheng. “Perhaps I may enjoy a little of my legal rights?”

His half-wet long hair rested on his shoulders. The damp strands in front of his forehead covered his eyes slightly, making him look much gentler than usual.

But at the same time, there was a dangerous kind of sexiness to him.

Shi Sheng’s heart thumped wildly. His mind spun around several times before he finally realized what Elaine meant.

How strange. With technology having developed to this point, there were already hundreds of ways to quickly dry washed hair, yet Elaine actually did not use any of them.

Shi Sheng took the towel. Seeing Elaine sit down by the bed, he knelt behind him and carefully helped him dry his hair.

[His hair is so beautiful… so smooth.]

[So this is the kind of sleepwear he usually wears? Damn it, how many Omegas is he trying to charm to death! But I’m probably the only one who has seen it, hehe.]

[His shoulders are really broad. Beneath such a handsome face, there’s actually such a perfect body too. The goddess is truly biased.]

[I really want to touch him. I wonder if pretending to fall would work?]

Elaine lowered his head to make Shi Sheng’s movements easier, the corners of his lips curving as he listened to the Omega’s inner voice.

Shi Sheng’s thoughts ran wildly for quite a while. Only when Elaine’s hair was almost dry did he reluctantly hand the towel back.

“Thank you.” Elaine placed the towel onto the robot’s tray. “Sleep.”

Shi Sheng quickly hugged his pillow and rolled into the inner corner. Seeing Elaine lie down beside him, he carefully shifted a little, then picked up the voice device and solemnly typed out one word at a time:

“Good, night. May, the, Goddess, of, Dreams, favor, you.”

What answered him was the same sentence.

Shi Sheng’s heart was beating fiercely, and he completely lost all sleepiness.

He lay with his back to Elaine for a long time. Only when his right shoulder began to feel a little sore did he carefully turn over.

Elaine’s breathing was steady. He should have fallen asleep.

So Shi Sheng carefully moved forward a little.

Elaine had entered military school in his teens, and not long after that, he had gone to the battlefield. It could be said that he had grown up in the barracks, and even when asleep, he was almost never relaxed.

At this moment, he was lying flat, his body rising and falling slightly with his breathing.

[He should be asleep, right?]

[It should be fine if I secretly touch his muscles, right? We’re legal now, after all.]

Shi Sheng carefully lifted his hand, then quickly lowered it again.

[Forget it. This angle is too difficult. I’ll get caught easily.]

Just as he was thinking this, the sleeping Elaine turned over. His handsome face was now facing Shi Sheng, and with his movement, the loose collar of his sleeping robe fell open, revealing his firm chest muscles.

Shi Sheng’s breathing stopped. He widened his eyes and looked at the Alpha, who was now a little closer to him. In his heart, an evil little person began dancing.

In the end, under the evil little person’s temptation, Shi Sheng boldly stretched out his hand.

Feeling a soft hand press against his chest, Elaine almost had to use every bit of skill he possessed as the Marshal of the Empire to continue pretending to be asleep.

Fortunately, that hand quickly withdrew.

[All right, all right. Chest muscles may be good, but one must not be greedy.]

Shi Sheng covered his face and rolled into the corner by the wall. After facing the wall and calming himself down for a while, he gently turned back again.

His eyes had long since adjusted to the darkness, and his gaze slowly traced the contours of Elaine’s face bit by bit.

[Elaine is even gentler than I imagined.]

[Today felt like we were truly partners. He even noticed that I don’t like drinking milk.]

[But wasn’t he dissatisfied with His Majesty’s arranged marriage? Does he think I’m acceptable?]

[He also didn’t discover that I’m not my brother. Does that mean I’m pretending pretty well?]

[Right… I’m my brother right now. Even if he is satisfied, he’s satisfied with my brother.]

[My brother was so famous at military school. In comparison, Elaine probably doesn’t remember me at all.]

[Elaine, I…]

Shi Sheng’s inner voice suddenly disappeared.

The rustling sounds beside him continued for a while before going completely quiet.

Elaine opened his eyes and saw that Shi Sheng had rolled to the edge by the wall again.

The pillow was under his head. The Omega was hugging a corner of the blanket, his face buried in the pillow.

Judging from the rise and fall of his body, he had not immediately fallen asleep. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Elaine only felt that his back looked so thin and fragile.

When they got up for breakfast the next day, Lindsay was nowhere to be seen, while Yu Mian came in yawning.

The butler, Merico, stood beside Elaine and reported on household matters. First, he reminded everyone that the royal ball was approaching again.

“The young masters should find their opening dance partners as soon as possible.”

“All right, Merico.” Yu Mian frowned as he drank his oat milk. “Among those present, Big Brother is already married, and the only one left is me. What are you so anxious for? I already called Lanris.”

Merico said, “The royal ball is held once every quarter. Young Master does not have to invite Young Master Lanris every time. You may also try other noble Alphas.”

Yu Mian curled his lips. “I don’t want to be like Second Brother.”

“Speaking of Second Young Master,” Merico said with a smile, “we received a letter yesterday. He will be returning soon as well.”

Yu Mian said, “He’s rushing back to attend the ball, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, that voice sounded again.

[That’s right. If it’s that ball, then Izel should be coming back too.]

[Sigh, that big unlucky fool. I’m really looking forward to the moment he sees Noah.]

[After all, that person will become the target of his forced love later.]

Yu Mian’s hand, which was holding his knife and fork, suddenly froze. Elaine also glanced at Shi Sheng.

[But lately, it seems like Yu Mian hasn’t promoted Noah. Then does Noah still have a chance to go to the ball?]

[That’s an important beginning for his grand revenge plan.]

Yu Mian frowned. He had not expected that Noah would also have something to do with his second brother.

He wanted to listen more carefully, but Shi Sheng’s inner voice took another turn.

[I should worry about myself first. There will be so many people at the ball who have met my brother. If I’m not careful, I’ll be exposed.]

[But Elaine rarely attends balls, so does that mean I don’t have to go either? But I do kind of want to go watch the drama.]

[Also, hopefully I won’t see that annoying Ji Sui. Oh, and his adulterer Lowell too.]

Yu Mian looked at Shi Sheng again.

How exactly could so many words come out from beneath that dead-fish face?

Merico could not hear Shi Sheng’s inner voice. After urging Yu Mian to find a dance partner, he reminded Elaine of the second matter.

“Family Head, you need to go with Madam to the Marriage Center today for registration.”

Shi Sheng froze when he heard this.

[Registration? Didn’t the royal recorder already come to the house before to record it?]

According to the Empire’s marriage law, a pair of partners had to go to the Marriage Center to change and register their identities. Only after both parties’ pheromone grades and compatibility rate were entered into the system would they truly have a legal marriage relationship.

And because their marriage had been granted by His Majesty, the royal family had already sent someone to the Shi family to register Shi Yi’s information before. Shi Sheng had thought that meant it had already been successfully entered.

[Although I’m wearing my brother’s identity chip, there will definitely be iris recognition or something during the process, right? Then won’t I be exposed…]

[What should I do…]

The Omega held his spoon in a daze, his complexion a little pale.

Elaine looked at Shi Sheng, his eyes darkening slightly, and said to the butler, “Call Alried over.”

Shi Sheng was just thinking about secretly sending a message to ask his family to think of a solution when a shadow suddenly fell from the side. A plate of fully peeled boiled shrimp had appeared in front of him.

“Eat. Don’t space out.” Elaine’s voice was always cold and clear, but the ending of his words was slightly gentle.

Such a simple sentence made Shi Sheng’s heart pound wildly. He quickly and obediently began eating.

Yu Mian widened his eyes as he watched Elaine’s actions, suspecting that Shi Sheng might really possess some sort of black technology.

The adjutant Alried arrived very quickly and went into the study with Elaine to talk.

With nothing to do, Shi Sheng sat on the steps and watched the gardening robot trim the lawn.

Yu Mian was also wandering around the garden. Shi Sheng saw him standing there with his arms crossed, directing the robot, looking noble and refined.

[Yu Mian really is very beautiful.]

Yu Mian, who was some distance away, paused.

[If I remember correctly, in the original plot, after Yu Mian brings Noah to the ball, Noah will find a way to approach the crown prince.]

[After that, he will borrow the crown prince’s power to take revenge, and even cause the Carlos family to suffer a huge blow.]

[How strange. Why is there no Elaine in this story? With Elaine around, the Carlos family couldn’t possibly be taken down so easily.]

[But as the villain in Noah’s story, the family behind Yu Mian did indeed pay a terrible price.]

[Speaking of which, why does Noah think his family was destroyed because of the Carlos family?]

[I haven’t seen any news about it these past few years either.]

Listening to Shi Sheng’s inner voice, Yu Mian furrowed his brows.

When it came to enemies, their family had plenty of them.

Never mind the entire Empire; just in the capital alone, there were countless families that wanted to destroy the Carlos family because of differing political stances.

Over the years, quite a few families had disappeared due to changes in the Empire’s political landscape as well.

With only these clues, it would be very difficult to determine Noah’s identity.
