After I Wrongly Chose the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date!! - Chapter 34

Chapter 34 – Expectations

All of Ji Anli’s sleepiness disappeared at this moment. He was eager to address this matter, not sleepy at all.

Maybe it was because Ji Anli’s eyes were too bright and excited, but Lin Jing’s originally calm expression froze. For some reason, some vague guesses emerged in his mind: “What gift do you want?”

Ji Anli did not miss the momentary evasion in his expression: “You haven’t told me yet, will you agree to anything I say?”

Lin Jing looked at Ji Anli and finally nodded silently.

Ji Anli sat up and subconsciously moved closer to Lin Jing. His eyes were bright and he looked at him expectantly: “Then… I want a wolf cub, is that okay?”

Even though Lin Jing had guessed this beforehand, he still felt confused when he heard it in person. He didn’t know how to answer for a moment. He wanted to say that he had a genetic defect and it was difficult for him to have children. At least, there was no precedent for them to give birth to children. As for whether there were any in private, even if there were, the probability was extremely low.

But if he said this at this time, it would be like a basin of cold water that would instantly extinguish all of Ji Anli’s enthusiasm, especially after the other party had just saved him. Lin Jing couldn’t say such words that would dampen the other party’s enthusiasm for a while, but he didn’t want to lie to Ji Anli.

Finally, under Ji Anli’s expectant gaze, Lin Jing lowered his eyes and asked again: “Do you really want a wolf cub?”

Ji Anli nodded repeatedly: “Really, I want it more than real gold.” He said this at first just to let Lin Jing be prepared. After all, there is a system. When the touch value is higher in the future, it will not be impossible to have a little wolf cub. Of course, Lin Jing’s cooperation will be needed at that time.

He had already prepared himself for when Lin Jing would ask him to choose another gift, but who knew… there would be an unexpected surprise? If Lin Jing wanted to refuse, he would definitely not ask this question. Could it be… Could it be…

Ji Anli’s eyes became brighter and brighter. He subconsciously placed his hands on his crossed legs and slowly tightened them. Seeing Lin Jing slowly lowering his eyes after hearing what he said, he actually nodded: “Okay.”

Ji Anli couldn’t help but open his eyes wide for a moment, and excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Lin’s sleeve: “Are you serious? Do you really agree? Don’t worry, I’m here. After all, I have the only ancient Blue Star medical book passed down from my ancestors, so I will definitely be able to have a cub.”

He could already imagine the little guy walking around him with his short legs. Ahhh, this scene of a loving father and a filial son was so beautiful.

Lin Jing wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, seeing that Ji Anli had misunderstood, he could only lower his eyes and dare not look at Ji Anli. He spoke again: “Don’t bother with that. I’ll help you find a purebred wolf cub later.”

Ji Anli didn’t understand at first, but when he realized what the other party was talking about, he laughed out of anger for a long time: “Pure breed? Pure beast?”

From Ji Anli’s tone, Lin Jing realised that his partner was angry. He sighed, and looked up helplessly, watching Ji Anli, who was so upset that he couldn’t help but glare at him: “I’m not teasing you, I know you like it, but the chance of us giving birth to one is too low. Although there are not many purebred animals, it’s not impossible to find them. On the contrary, it’s much easier than… for us. What’s more, there is the most important point…”

Ji Anli hadn’t held out hope, but this guy said he agreed, but the result was the exact opposite of what he thought. Who wouldn’t be angry? But now he looked up and met Lin Jing’s slightly dark pupils, and inexplicably calmed down: “What?”

Lin Jing looked at Ji Anli calmly, and said something that Ji Anli had never taken seriously in a calm voice: “If we decide to have a child, according to what you said before, let’s not talk about the probability of having no offspring due to genetic defects. Just deciding to have a child, first… I need to mark you thoroughly; secondly… we need to have more intimate contact, not just once, but probably half a year, a year, or even several years; the most important point is that temporary marking will make the dependence and clinginess to the partner not low, and it will only be stronger after the real marking… Can you accept this change?”

Has he really… considered this process, of a situation where he would be unable to control himself and completely lose himself, or even spiral out of control due to Lin Jing’s pheromones?

Plus, the chances of them having a child are low, so the few years he mentioned might just be luck. They might need even a longer period of intimacy.

Ji Anli was silent for a long time as he listened to Lin Jing’s calm but several-pause words, which were obviously quite difficult to say, and finally realized one thing belatedly. What he thought of as having a baby was completely different from what Lin Jing thought. He was too confident in the system and subconsciously thought that it would work in one go, but who knew… He still needed to be marked thoroughly?

But after hearing Lin Jing’s calm reaction, he could not lose face no matter what he lost, and slowly sat up straight: “What’s wrong? I know all this.” It’s better to lose the battle than being the person who took the initiative to propose it, right?

Lin Jing was stunned. He initially thought that the other party didn’t understand the procedures, so he only focused on the results instead of the process. At this moment, facing Ji Anli who was so open and honest, Lin Jing was strangely silent. After a while, his voice became hoarse, and he slowly said, “Is it…?”

Ji Anli’s scalp tingled, but his face remained calm like a dog: “Yeah.”

Lin Jing’s Adam’s apple rolled, perhaps because he felt that the discipline button was a little tight. He raised his hand and gently pulled it, then stood up first: “If that’s the case, think about it again. We can talk about this after this matter is resolved.”

Ji Anli remained calm and composed, and even smiled: “Okay.”

Then he saw Lin Jing also responded, stood up, left a sentence “We are almost at the castle, I’m going to go outside to check the situation” and strode away. No matter how he looked at it, Lin Jing seemed to be fleeing in a hurry, which finally made Ji Anli feel better. It seemed that Admiral Lin was not as calm as he appeared.

The moment the cubicle door closed, Ji Anli’s face suddenly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if steam would start flowing out in a second. He slowly turned around and buried his face in the pillow, leaving only two red ears exposed between his dark hair.

He finally understood that the reason why Lin Jing had such strange expressions when he heard that he was going to give birth to a wolf cub was because he thought he was just talking about giving birth to a wolf cub, but what Admiral Lin interpreted was the same as him unilaterally inviting the other party to live together as a real couple after marriage.

So…is it possible to not care about the process but only the result?

Ji Anli didn’t stay in the compartment for long. Soon, just as Lin Jing said, their main starship landed in front of the castle where the old duke lived.

The old duke was carried away on a stretcher. His face was covered so that no one could tell what was happening. Beside him followed Yi Ya, whose eyes were red from crying, and two healers accompanied him.

The hatch of the main starship opened and guards immediately stepped forward to protect the people. At the same time, a man strode over with a team of royal guards. The man in the lead was dressed in formal attire and looked familiar. Ji Anli had met him before. He was the fifth prince.

Ji Anli stood behind the cabin door. He had no intention of showing up in front of the castle. He wanted to return to the house that belonged to Lin Jing and him as soon as possible. However, he did not expect that the fifth prince would get the news and come over to greet the old duke and Yi Ya, his newly found cousin, on behalf of His Majesty.

Because the fifth prince’s convoy represented His Majesty, not only Ji Anli, but also Lin Jing and the others needed to come out.

The fifth prince saw that the old duke was carried down, so he hurried over, held the old duke’s hand, and said with concern: “Uncle, are you okay? What happened? Why were you suddenly attacked?”

He had heard that his uncle had found his cousin and was about to return, so he came on behalf of his father to congratulate him and bring a reward. However, he received a report not long ago that his uncle had been attacked on Planet A and was now on his way back as fast as possible.

The old duke only showed his eyes, which were still bloodshot and looked a little scary. “It’s Lao Wu, why are you here? It’s okay now. My life can be saved this time. Fortunately, Admiral Lin brought Xiao Ji with him. If it weren’t for Xiao Ji’s high healing ability, my old bones… would have been left on Planet A.”

Yi Ya couldn’t help but raise his hand to wipe his tears, but he opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

The fifth prince quickly called the chief healer who had rushed over and said, “Hurry and let your uncle take a look.” He stepped aside and looked at Yi Ya while waiting for the examination. “This must be your cousin, I am the fifth brother.”

Yi Ya looked at him timidly with red eyes, then looked at the old duke first, and then called out “Fifth Brother” in a low voice. After that, he couldn’t help but lean against the old duke in silence.

The fifth prince knew that he still needed time to get familiar with his relatives, so he looked at Lin Jing and Ji Anli and said, “This time, I am very grateful to Admiral Lin and Mr. Ji. I will report to my father and he will reward you.”

Lin Jing’s face showed no emotion: “This is my responsibility. Now that the Fifth Prince is here, I feel relieved. An Li was frightened this time, so I will send him back first.”

The Fifth Prince looked at Ji Anli, who had been keeping his eyes downcast since he appeared, and looked a little listless. After he expressed his concern, the Fifth Prince agreed and asked Lin Jing to send his partner home to rest first.

After Ji Anli and Lin Jing got back on the starship, he looked down from the cabin door and saw the old duke, Yi Ya and the fifth prince who were surrounded in the middle. He then retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Jing: “Is this fifth prince safe?” He had only seen the fifth prince once, at the blind date party, and knew very little about him.

Lin Jing shook his head, he didn’t know either: “But this is the First Star. Even if they want the old Duke to die, they won’t do it here.” Nothing happened on the First Star in the past two years, so that wouldn’t happen. Otherwise, there would have been more opportunities in the past.

Ji Anli responded and closed his eyes, but he felt Lin Jing’s gaze falling on him from time to time, which made him feel uncomfortable all over. He thought he would not be able to sleep if he was stared at like that, but he didn’t know if it was because of the other person’s presence that made him feel at ease, or if he fell asleep unconsciously.

When Ji Anli woke up again, he found himself in a room surrounded by darkness. He didn’t know how much time had passed. He opened his bracelet and saw a star message left by Lin Jing.

[I asked the doctor to check you out. Although your healing power is only half as good as it was when you tried to save the old duke, you are still exhausted. I put a box of energy crystals at the head of your bed. Remember to absorb them when you wake up.]

After looking at it, Ji Anli exited the bracelet, turned on the light, and looked to the side. Sure enough, there was a whole box of energy crystals. He thought about it and decided to open it and start absorbing.

Ji Anli originally thought that Lin Jing was only going to the old Duke to complete the mission and would definitely come back at night, but he didn’t come back until the next night.

During this period, Manfred came over and revealed something to him out of fear that he would worry. It was probably the news that the old Duke was attacked and almost died. When His Majesty learned about it, he was furious and thoroughly investigated Planet A and the guards who went to protect the old Duke to see if there were any problems.

Manfred said, “In addition to Mr. Ji and the Admiral, the people under investigation also include Major General Jiang and Ander who came back with them. The Admiral is responsible for cooperating with the investigation, so he is not expected to come back in a short time. Mr. Ji, don’t worry. The old duke was rescued by you and the Admiral, so no one will suspect you, and there is no need for you to cooperate with the investigation.”

Ji Anli responded and said that he was sure there was no problem. However, although His Majesty said he trusted Lin Jing, he still detained the person. It seemed that he did not trust Lin Jing that much.

Ji Anli was not worried when he knew the situation, but he thought it would take a long time and didn’t expect Lin Jing to come back until the next night.

When Lin Jing came back, Ji Anli was still looking through the rare medical books about the ancient Blue Star in the system. He said he wanted to change his major. He really wanted to study hard, and also wanted to kill time.

At first he would glance outside from time to time, but after seeing no one coming back for so many times, he tried to concentrate on reading. He was stunned for a moment when the door rang, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Lin Jing, wrapped in the night, really appear at the door.

Behind him was the darkness that made him unable to see the other person’s expression for a moment. Soon the door closed and Lin Jing’s facial features became clear. Facing Ji Anli’s blank gaze, Lin Jing’s originally slightly cold brows relaxed and he said softly, “I’m back.”
