The Reborn Honest Beta is a Fishing Beauty - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 – Su Nuo’s Clumsy Method of Pursuing People

Since the banquet, Su Nuo and Lu Yu did not meet again.

During this period, Su Nuo was busy looking for historical materials about the zerg repelling grass. He found a clue in a collection of weeds. He hurriedly sorted out the contents and planned to send it to Lu Yu. When sending the message to Lu Yu, he glanced at the date, August 25th.

It’s almost the end of the month.

Suddenly he remembered that in his previous life, Lu Yu asked him to send him a message at the end of every month, and said that it could be any message.

He often shared the potted plants he grew with Lu Yu.

After sending Lu Yu the clue about the plant that night, he found excuses to send messages to Lu Yu for several nights in a row.

This way, the last day of the month won’t feel awkward.

At first, the daily messages he sent were either about the plant or he would take the initiative to share some jokes. Gradually, the two of them could talk about other topics.

The last day of August.

Lu Yu walked out of the treatment cabin with his upper body naked and his chest and back covered with beads of sweat.

Jia Yu handed him the towel. He simply wiped his body and accidentally touched the gland. The pain instantly spread from the back of his neck to his whole body, and his face turned pale with pain.

After pausing for half a minute, he continued to wipe.

Aside, Song Xingmo looked at the report in his hand: “The glandular injury has recovered to about 70%. I’m not sure if we can fully recover by the end. For now, we can only watch the effect of subsequent treatment.”

Jia Yu complained, “Every treatment is as terrible as torture, and you’re still not sure if he can fully recover…”

Song Xingmo glanced at him and said, “If you have a better way, then I’ll let you treat it.”

Jia Yu curled his lips and took the paper report from Song Xingmo. When he saw the photo of the wound, he closed the report with a snap.

He couldn’t bear to watch it anymore.

Song Xingmo looked at Lu Yu: “Compared to the physical injuries, I am more worried about your mental health. You should take some time off to see a psychologist.” As he said that, he pushed the psychologist’s contact information to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu refused with a straight face: “I don’t need it.”

Song Xingmo pretended not to hear: “I have already made an appointment for you. Go there next Saturday. After seeing the doctor, remember to go home on time for dinner.”

Lu Yu: “…”

After leaving the office, Jia Yu glanced behind him and said stealthily, “Bayu, how do you usually stand it at home? Your brother and sister-in-law both have cold faces and don’t go back on their word.”

Lu Yu replied calmly: “My nephew also has a cold face.”

“Huh? So all three of them have sullen faces?”

“Um.”

Lu Yu turned on his light brain and received the message from Su Nuo. The night breeze on his face suddenly became gentle, soothing his skin as it went away.

【 S: A kitten planted a strawberry and a banana. After a while, the kitten noticed that the strawberry grew very slowly, while the banana grew very quickly. The kitten became anxious and said to the strawberry, “Berry, you can’t do this. I can’t do this without you…”】

【S: Do you know what the kitten said to the banana?】

【L: What did it say?】

【S: Banana, you can’t do that, my friend, are you saying cheesy love words?.】

Lu Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The Beta’s method of pursuing people is really childish.

Even though he thought this way, he still felt inexplicably sweet in his heart, and the pain in the back of his neck was also relieved a lot.

Jia Yu, who was standing by, wanted to see what was going on. As soon as he leaned forward, Lu Yu immediately blocked his light brain and said expressionlessly, “If you come any closer, you will see the fourth cold face of our family.”

Jia Yu: “…”

Jia Yu muttered, “You’ve been holding your light brain and looking at it these past few days. You’re so sneaky that people who don’t know the situation might think you’re in an online relationship.”

Lu Yu suddenly realized something. Su Nuo wanted his light brain account. Did he want to have an online relationship with him?

No wonder he sent him the photograph of his legs last time.

‘Haha, a clumsy little trick.’

‘Fortunately, I’m not such an easily gullible alpha.’

The alpha who is not easily fooled tossed and turned in bed at night because he did not receive the “good night” message from Su Nuo, and finally took the initiative to send a message.

The vibration of the message woke Su Nuo up. He opened his eyes in a daze and found that he had fallen asleep on the table.

He was just reading the records about the mysterious grass. Maybe because the words in the book were obscure and difficult to understand, he dozed off while reading.

The message Lu Yu sent contained only a picture.

In the middle of the picture is a dotted outline of a fruit that looks like an orange.

What did that mean?

Su Nuo yawned and sent a question mark.

Lu Yu looked at the question mark and hummed softly: “There is orange in the orange.”

After a while, Lu Yu received the message.

The dotted line in the picture has been filled in, and a bright yellow orange stands in the middle, with bright colors and full shapes.

Lu Yu closed the dialog box, and the corners of his mouth curled up in the darkness.

Full of oranges.

Su Nuo thought he was playing a graffiti game, so he just scribbled all over the paper and sent it over.

During this time, besides taking care of Yuan Jianyi, he was doing research on grass in the greenhouse. Fortunately, he was a gardener before, so no one was suspicious of him tinkering in the greenhouse.

After half a month, the greenhouse was filled with various potted plants, all of which were plants he had grafted.

Although the research was not completed, many new species of flowers were cultivated.

That day, he cut some new flowers, wrapped them carefully, and planned to give them to Shen Miao. From a distance, he saw Zhao Ming trying hard to please Shen Miao.

Shen Miao was holding a large pile of books. Zhao Ming reached out to help, but Shen Miao dodged him.

“Miao Miao, how can an omega like you do such heavy work? Let me do it…”

“Get out of my way! Stop interfering!”

Although Zhao Ming was rejected, he was not angry. He scratched his head and continued to show his courtesy with a grin.

“Miaomiao, are you thirsty? I’ll go get you a glass of water.”

“No, it’s enough that you’re not around to bother me.”

“Miao Miao, let me do something for you.”

Shen Miao stopped and looked at Zhao Ming expressionlessly: “Zhao Ming, no matter how much you do for me, I won’t be moved. I don’t like you like this.”

“So what kind do you like?”

At this moment, a warship flew across the sky.

The black warship was like an eagle, spreading its huge wings and disappearing into the low-hanging clouds.

Shen Miao looked at the direction where the battleship disappeared and raised his chin: “Well, I like pilots like the Snow Eagle Squadron who conquer the stars and defend their country.”

There was one more thing Shen Miao didn’t say, fearing it would hurt Zhao Ming’s pride. He really didn’t like Zhao Ming, an alpha who had nothing to do all day, was lazy and only knew how to cling to him.

Zhao Ming muttered, “But it’s too late for me to join the army at my age.”

“So don’t waste your time on me anymore.” Shen Miao saw Su Nuo appear and said to Zhao Ming, “Go away and take care of your own business.”

Zhao Ming left reluctantly.

Shen Miao put the book down, smiled and trotted towards Su Nuo: “Nuo Nuo, are these flowers for me?”

“Well, I’ll help you put it in.”

“Good.”

Su Nuo added water to the vase, put the flowers in it, and placed it on the windowsill. The warm sunlight shone through, and the faint fragrance of flowers floated in the air.

“Miao Miao, Zhao Ming has been pestering you. Why don’t you tell Chief Qin about this?”

“Forget it, I’m afraid of Master Qin.”

“Then when I see Master Qin, let me help you speak.”

Shen Miao shook his head: “It’s useless to say it. Zhao Ming has 190 kilograms of fat and 10 kilograms of stubborn bones.”

When Su Nuo heard this description, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“I’ve already told him clearly today that I don’t like him like this…” Shen Miao blushed as if she had thought of something, and winked at Su Nuo, “I know a pilot from the Snow Eagle Squadron… We’ve arranged to meet in Snow City this Sunday.”

“The pilots of the Snow Eagle Squadron…” Su Nuo recalled the online reports. “I heard they’re all 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waists, and eight-pack abs.”

Shen Miao covered her face and said shyly, “I have a photo of his abdominal muscles. I’ll find it and show it to you. Forget it, I’ll just hide it under the covers and watch it myself.”

Su Nuo laughed and listened quietly to Shen Miao sharing the story of how he met the pilot.

Shen Miao likes to do handicrafts on weekdays and also does live broadcasts when he has time. The pilot often watches his live broadcasts. After a few visits, the two became familiar with each other and now have developed to the stage of offline dating.

Su Nuo couldn’t help but be happy for Shen Miao, hoping that Shen Miao could find his own happiness in this life.

On Sunday, Shen Miao dressed up carefully and rushed to Snow City for a date.

Su Nuo kept in touch with him.

【S: Let me know when you get there.】

【Miao Miao: Good.】

Su Nuo was concentrating on his work in the greenhouse. Not long after, an account that he had not contacted for a long time started flashing.

It was Zhan Ting.

He was wondering why Zhan Ting contacted him on his own initiative. When he opened the dialog box, he found that there was a clue in the bracelet.

【Z: I didn’t find anything useful with the sketch you gave me last time. However, I did find a bracelet that’s very similar in shape.】

【S: What bracelet?】

【Z: Batto bracelet of the Snow Eagle team.】

Zhan Ting sent him a 3D photo of the Batto bracelet.

Su Nuo opened the photo of the bracelet and compared it with the sketch of the bracelet. At first glance, the two did not look very similar. He tried to rotate the bracelet and looked at it from the side. Suddenly, he found that the shapes of the bracelet were very similar.

The witness was at a distance and had a side view, so it is possible that he misidentified the bracelet.

Could the murderer be a member of the Snow Eagle Team?

Almost in an instant, Su Nuo suddenly realized why he had not found any information about the bracelet in his previous life, because the Snow Eagle Team had been disbanded at that time!

All news about the Snow Eagle Team was mysteriously deleted.

Thinking of this, Su Nuo quickly sent a message to Shen Miao, but received no reply.

He called, but still no answer.

Terrible thoughts kept coming to his mind, and every minute and second of waiting became unbearable. He didn’t want to wait any longer and decided to go find Shen Miao.

Su Nuo remembered Shen Miao mentioning that he and the pilot had gone on a date at a Western restaurant in Snow City. There were over twenty Western restaurants in Snow City, fifteen of which offered a romantic atmosphere suitable for couples.

Su Nuo checked the addresses of the fifteen Western restaurants and worked out the most convenient way to find them. While on his way, he bumped into Zhao Ming unexpectedly. Just as Zhao Ming was about to lose his temper, he grabbed Zhao Ming’s collar.

“Hurry up! Come with me to find Shen Miao!”

When Zhao Ming heard that they were going to find Shen Miao, he instantly lost his breath. He hurriedly wiped his hair and followed Su Nuo with a grunt.

Zhao Ming got a small spaceship from somewhere, and the two of them immediately rushed to Snow City.

Inside the spacecraft.

Zhao Ming gasped: “What’s going on? What happened to Miaomiao?”

“I haven’t been able to contact Miaomiao, and I’m a little worried about him.”

“I thought it was something serious. But it’s just a matter of not being able to contact anyone.”

Zhao Ming said this without taking it seriously. After a while, seeing Su Nuo’s anxious and serious expression, Zhao Ming frowned.

“You’re so worried about Miaomiao, could it be… that you like Miaomiao?”

Su Nuo: “…” He took a deep breath and ignored Zhao Ming.

“I’m telling you, don’t pay attention to Miaomiao, and you’re not Miaomiao’s type. Miaomiao said that he likes pilots like those of the Snow Eagle Squadron. Yes, you see, that Snow Eagle pilot in front, tall, straight, and handsome. Miaomiao likes this kind of person…”

Zhao Ming’s words stopped abruptly because he saw a petite and cute omega standing next to the Snow Eagle pilot. It was Shen Miao.

Zhao Ming immediately started to speak sweetly: “*&%￥#…”

Unlike Zhao Ming, Su Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

As soon as the spaceship landed, Su Nuo walked out immediately.

Unfortunately, the Snow Eagle pilot just said goodbye to Shen Miao and left on the spaceship.

Shen Miao was looking up with his head tilted back, his eyebrows curved as he waved goodbye to the other person.

Su Nuo stared at the spaceship in the sky. The one-way glass cabin obscured the view from the interior, making it impossible to see anything. The snow covered the surroundings, reflecting a silvery, blurry light off the exterior of the spaceship, making it slightly dazzling.

Shen Miao: “Nuo Nuo, Zhao Ming, why are you two here?”

Su Nuo retracted his gaze: “I didn’t get through to your light brain, and I was a little worried about you.”

Shen Miao turned on his light brain and saw the screen was unresponsive. He patted his head and said, “Oh, I was in such a hurry this morning that I forgot to charge it.” He smiled shyly, “I was so engrossed in chatting with Hollis in the restaurant just now that I didn’t notice anything.”

When Zhao Ming heard the name Hollis, he clenched his fists and his eyes became resentful.

Su Nuo frowned and said, “This Hollis…” He paused and then asked, “How is he?”

“Holis is a very nice person, very gentle and gentlemanly. He even asked me to go to the desert to watch the stars together if the weather is good.”

Zhao Ming angrily took over the conversation: “What’s so beautiful about the stars in the desert? Miaomiao, I’ll take you to space to see the stars.”

Shen Miao said directly: “What’s important is not looking at the stars, but the people who watch the stars with you.”

Zhao Ming muttered, “He’s just a Snow Eagle pilot. If he lost that identity, would you still like him?”

Shen Miao glanced at the stubborn Zhao Ming and couldn’t help shaking his head.

On the way back, Su Nuo found an opportunity to ask Shen Miao about the date and even asked Shen Miao to tell him everything they had said.

After listening, he didn’t find anything unusual.

There was nothing wrong with that Hollis.

However, Su Nuo already had a preconceived notion that the more normal a person appears, the more abnormal they are inside.

He wanted to persuade Shen Miao to stay away from the other party, but he couldn’t find a suitable reason. Moreover, looking at Shen Miao’s appearance, it seemed that he had a deep affection for Hollis.

Shen Miao noticed that his expression was not right, and asked tentatively: “Is there something wrong with Hollis?”

Su Nuo didn’t know how to explain to Shen Miao.

“Nuo Nuo, if you think he’s not suitable, then I won’t date him.”

Before Su Nuo could reply, Zhao Ming in front of him suddenly spoke up: “He’s not suitable, absolutely not suitable!”

Shen Miao glared at him: “What’s it to you!”

Zhao Ming smiled awkwardly.

Su Nuo looked at Shen Miao. When Shen Miao said he would not date Hollis, his tone was visibly disappointed.

It seems that he really likes Hollis.

After thinking for a while, Su Nuo said: “Miao Miao, you don’t know much about Hollis. If you go on a date with him in the future… take me with you. I can give you some advice.” For Shen Miao’s safety, he decided to be a light bulb with a thick skin.

“Let’s do that.”

The spaceship landed on the open ground and three people got off.

As night falls, the Yuan Palace is brightly lit.

No one knows what happened tonight, but all the servants were standing on the training ground.

The three realized that something was wrong, so they quickly mixed into the crowd and quietly inquired about the situation.

“What’s going on?”

“Just now, there was a sudden curfew. Mr. Qin and Khalil led the bodyguards and searched the servants’ quarters.”

“Are they still looking for that Purple Core Crystal?”

“Um.”

Su Nuo frowned and looked towards his room. Yuan Palace was actually looking for the Purple Core Crystal again!

Everything was calm during this period, so he relaxed his vigilance and thought Yuan Palace had given up the search.

In his previous life, he had always worn the Purple Core Crystal around his neck to avoid searches. Now that he had placed it at the back of a drawer, changing its trajectory, would it be found?

Thinking of this, his heart felt as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock, and a heavy feeling of falling enveloped him.

Fortunately, the search was quickly completed, and Qin Sen and Khalil stood in front of the crowd. Qin Sen remained expressionless, while Khalil kept rubbing his hands, looking a little anxious.

The bodyguards on the side called out names: “Peng Jian, Xia Li, Peyton…” He called out more than ten names in a row, “You come with us! The rest of you go back to your rooms!”

Not hearing his own name, Su Nuo lightly relaxed his numb fingers.

The dozen or so people whose names were called quickly protested: “Master Qin, Steward Khalil, I didn’t steal the Purple Core Crystal!”

“I didn’t steal it! I was wrongly accused!”

Khalil: “I called you because we found something else in your room! Humph, if you were the one who stole the Purple Core Crystal, do you think you can still stand here unharmed?”

When they heard that it was not the Purple Core Crystal but something else, even if they were going to be caught, these people showed their relief at having survived the disaster on their faces.

After all, if anybody had any contact with the purple core crystal now, they would definitely die.

Shen Miao lowered his voice and whispered, “What on earth is that Purple Core Crystal? Why are they still looking for it?”

Su Nuo shook his head.

Zhao Ming replied stealthily, “I heard it’s a military secret.”

Su Nuo thought, if it was a military secret, after being lost for so long, the military should have redeployed military issues long ago, making the Purple Core Crystal a worthless “secret” instead of being obsessed with looking for the Purple Core Crystal.

The secret of the Purple Core Crystal can only be a secret that cannot be changed by time or human power.

What is the secret?

Returning to the room, Su Nuo closed the door and looked around.

The room was in a mess, all the drawers and cabinets were opened, the sheets were piled on the side, and even the newspapers and magazines in the corner were roughly pushed to the ground.

He reached out to the secret compartment at the back of the cabinet, touched the necklace, and his heart relaxed.

He still had to find a way to get rid of this purple core crystal. It’s too dangerous to leave it in the room.

Thinking of this, he pinched the pendant with his fingers and gently stroked it. He didn’t know what he saw, but the corners of his mouth froze and his eyes suddenly widened.

How could this happen? Why is there nothing inside the pendant?

Where’s the Purple Core Crystal? Who took it?
