As soon as the bell rang, Fiona ended her last sentence on the stage.

She turned off the holographic projection without a trace of sloppiness. She lazily said that the class was over and walked away in her high heels.

But when she walked out of the classroom, you clearly saw her glance at you. Her rosy eyes carried a hint of indifference and a faint smile.

But you didn't think too much about it. When the bell rang, you had already packed your things, carried your backpack, and tugged on Andy's clothes, indicating that you were leaving.

The second after Fiona walked out of the classroom, you and Andy walked out of the classroom.

Alpha, who wanted to hit on you, had just thought of an opening line when he turned his head and found that the only two Omega in the class had already left. The excitement on his face instantly turned into frustration.

You were less than ten centimeters away from Andy. This winter was really cold for you.

The snow fluttered down, and your footprints on the snow, deep or shallow, were quickly covered by the snow. He held the umbrella, and the direction of the umbrella was obviously tilted towards you.

You lowered your head, and your hands were folded into a semicircle to cover your mouth, exhaling to transfer heat to yourself.

But when you found that the umbrella was obviously tilted towards you, you glanced at Andy. When he didn't speak, his expression was particularly cold, especially his pair of golden eyes. If you only looked at them, you would think that he was some kind of cold-blooded reptile.

His eyebrows revealed a kind of alienation, and the young man looked particularly fragile, but his back was straight. If you looked closely at Andy's face, you would find that there was a tiny mole hidden in the corner of his right eye, which added to his seductive charm.

When he realized that you were looking at him, the expression on his face didn't change, but his mouth was pursed even tighter.

You suddenly said:

"Andy."

"Yes?"

He responded in a low voice. His golden eyes turned his gaze from the front to you, just like a young dragon responding to the person who summoned him.

You smiled at him, and then reached out to hold his hand. Ignoring his tense expression and stiff body, you just gently moved in his direction.

"If that's the case, it's just right."

You let go of his hand and looked at Andy. You blinked and smiled sweetly.

Andy could feel that the snow on his shoulders had disappeared. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but the wetness on his shoulders seemed to have lightened. Looking at your smile, his eyes moved. His hand holding the umbrella seemed to be able to feel your delicate and soft touch. Finally, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The winter air was exceptionally cold, and when it entered his nose, it seemed to have reached his brain and instantly woke him up.

You heard him muffled reply after a long time.

"Yes."

Andy seemed to have relaxed a lot.

You started to chat with Andy after you heard his reply. Although his replies were always short and concise, they were able to connect with your brain waves fluently. Your thoughts were very fast, so there were very few people who could keep up with your rhythm when you were chatting, and Andy happened to be one of them.

"Andy, why were you unhappy in class just now?"

You ended the previous topic and instantly jumped to this one. When you said this, you slightly raised your head to look at Andy's face.

"… I'm not unhappy."

Andy's eyelashes fluttered like a ripple on the surface of the water. He turned his head and avoided your gaze.

"Really?

Then why are you avoiding my gaze? "

"Tsk, I just don't like her."

You looked at Andy's frown and suddenly understood why he was unhappy.

Strictly speaking, Andy and you were childhood sweethearts.

Except for female Omega who could be identified as an Omega from the beginning due to their obvious secondary sexual characteristics, other genders could only be identified after their secondary sexual characteristics developed.

Therefore, if someone was bullied or acted like a coward when they were young, they would often be ridiculed as an Omega. They would be told that they would definitely be an Omega in the future.

For ignorant children who didn't have any awareness of gender, they only thought that Omega represented weakness, like a fragile porcelain doll, at the bottom of the social structure.

At that time, although society had called for equality, it still couldn't erase the stereotype of Omega. In recent years, the efficiency of the country's production of inhibitors and emergency drugs reached 99%. Omega were finally able to gain the right to enter a comprehensive university when they reached adulthood, instead of continuing to be protected by their family or go to corresponding Omega exclusive schools to live a single life.

Andy had shown outstanding talent and physique since he was young, plus the golden eyes of an ancient dragon.

Everyone, including himself, thought that he was an Alpha.

At the very least, he was a Beta.

But on his twelfth birthday, he was found to be an Omega.

You and he were neighbors, and the elders in your family were very familiar with each other. So when you were young, your family didn't mind you going to his house to play, except for your brother.

But in fact, before that day, you didn't always play with him.

The reason was simple.

He thought that you were too fragile as an Omega. He always thought that as long as he gently touched you, you would be knocked down like a porcelain doll and broken.

Moreover, he was very busy with his family's hopes. He was considered to be an Alpha in the future. Since he was a child, he had been inspired to be a soldier when he grew up. Therefore, he was very serious about making plans for his future. He was like a sponge that absorbed all kinds of knowledge and insisted on exercising every day.

But other than learning and playing, you were really bored, so you always liked to get close to him and then tease him with a smile.

Andy had always been a tsundere since he was young. Although he always had a look of disdain on his face, you could tell from his casual smile and relaxed posture that he wasn't against your approach. On the contrary, he was quite happy to be around you.

Until Andy's twelfth birthday.

You looked at him with a gloomy face as he was held by his family that day.

His family smiled and said, "Eretta, you have a companion."

But you found that Andy's face was getting worse and worse.

Although Alpha, Beta, and Omega were the same in your eyes, you knew that in most people's eyes, there was a big gap between the three genders.

Obviously, technology was very advanced. Although the technology tree was mainly focused on combat equipment and transportation, you really couldn't understand the prejudice of the people in this world when you learned that there were suppressants and emergency drugs.

Shouldn't the development of society be more and more advanced with the development of technology?

You thought so.

After your family considerately left you some space to play alone.

You walked forward and found that Andy was moving back step by step as you moved forward.

You didn't change your expression and continued to move forward until he had his back against the wall and couldn't move back anymore. Then you smiled.

"Andy." You called his name.

"…" Andy didn't answer. His head was down, and the front of his hair hung down, covering his face so that you couldn't observe his expression at this time.

You walked forward and wanted to hold his hand.

As soon as you touched his hand, he waved your hand away.

"Don't touch me!"

He growled. After a moment of stiffness, his whole body trembled. He slowly squatted down and buried his face in his arms. Broken sobs came out intermittently, like a cub with nowhere to run.

"Why …"

"Why me of all people …"

"Why?"

You could hear his choked voice. The room was empty. The white light shone coldly in the middle of the room. The walls were cold and pale. In this corner, his squatting body was shrouded by your shadow. For a moment, you felt that he was like a beautiful beast locked in a cage. Other than that illusory beauty, he could no longer show his true brilliance.

You stood in front of him like this, looking at him for a long time.

She looked at his trembling body and the tears that dripped onto the floor.

"Do you think …"

"I'm ridiculous."

He asked you in a hoarse, sobbing voice.

You knew that any words were weak in front of this person whose hope was shattered by reality.

But you still said:

"Yes."

"I think you're ridiculous."

Andy's body was still trembling, but he raised his head, revealing his golden eyes. His eyelashes were wet with tears, but it didn't stop him from looking at you with malice close to hatred, but also with confusion and helplessness deep in his eyes.

He was like a person who had fallen into a quagmire. He struggled and reached out his hands to call for help. At the last moment before he was submerged, he hated this world. The entire world was pure darkness to him. But even so, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart. He hoped that someone would appear and pull him out.

"Just because I was tested to be an Omega, that's it?"

Andy heard your words and stood up. He clenched his fists and walked towards you. His golden eyes seemed to be submerged in mud, but also with fire, burning fiercely.

"What do you know?

Do you know how much effort I've put in?

Do you know that Omega represents … "He shouted at you emotionally. He wanted to tell you the injustice of the world, he wanted to tell you his grievances, he wanted to vent his powerlessness.

But in the middle of his words, he stopped.

He looked at your misty blue eyes, like the blue snowflakes by the window. Even if you were yelling at him, your eyes were still swaying with the wind, without a trace of change.

He suddenly remembered that you were an Omega, an Omega who was protected from birth. In other words, you were an Omega who was isolated from the outside world and had no freedom.

"…" Andy didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth and wanted to say sorry, but the words wouldn't come out. In the end, he just lowered his eyes, as if he was swept away by despair.

The next second, he was hugged.

Accompanied by a soft hug and warm body, he heard you say in his ear:

"You don't have to apologize."

"Then, Andy, do you want to be the first Omega soldier in history?"

"If you can't do it, then we can work hard for it. We can work hard for Omega soldiers in the future."

"It doesn't matter if you're an Alpha, Omega, or Beta."

"To me, Andy is Andy."

"If it's Andy, then it's definitely possible."

"Me, that's what I think."

You felt his breath on your neck stop for a moment, then he stretched out his hands and hugged you tightly, as if he wanted to squeeze you into his arms.

Then you heard his voice, which was still trembling, slowly and firmly in your ear.

"I, must prove it to them."

"I won't admit defeat."

You felt your shoulders wet with tears. He was trying hard not to whimper, but his trembling and breathing gave it away.

"Then …"

"Do your best."

You said this.

So.

The reason why Andy didn't like Fiona …

Combined with the few words you heard earlier.

He couldn't stand that she didn't care about politics despite being in a position …?

Although you didn't know the reason for Fiona's demotion, you could tell from Andy's expression that it was probably the reason.

You scratched your cheeks with your fingers, then pulled Andy's face.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing!" Andy stared at you. His cheeks were pulled by you, and he looked very funny.

"Oh, nothing."

You calmly let go of his hand and blinked innocently at him. Then, as if nothing had happened, you added, "That's right.

"It feels good."

Just as Andy was about to explode, you smiled and pushed him by the shoulder.

"Let's go, let's go eat dessert!"

Hmm?

You suddenly smelled a familiar pheromone.

The smell of sunken wood …

You stopped in your tracks.

Andy noticed that you stopped in your tracks, and he looked in the direction you were looking at —

…

Tsk.

Looking at Byrd's figure, Andy's face darkened.

Pretentious guy.
