In this cold winter, you sent Ebner off.

You still remember at the school gate, he was wearing a cold and stiff military uniform. The dazzling white snowflakes gently fell on his body and melted into water.

You didn't know if he saw you. There were too many people sending off the third-year interns, and you were just an inconspicuous person in the crowd. You only saw him raise his hand and slightly press down the brim of his cap, covering his exceptionally bright emerald green in the snow. You only saw him pursing his thin lips.

You stared blankly in his direction, then finally lowered your head and sent a message.

It appeared alone at the bottom of your chat interface.

"I wish you a safe journey, brother."

And you didn't know that this was the last message you read between the two of you in this half a year.

***

In the dormitory, Cherie saw you tidying up your clothes with a puzzled expression.

"Eretta, are you going out?"

You're still folding the clothes, and you don't look back.

"Yeah, I've already asked the counselor and the class monitor for a leave of absence. I'm going out for three days. I have something to do."

Cherie sat on her bed with her hands on the soft mattress. She looked at your busy figure, bit her lower lip, and continued to ask:

"What's the matter?

Is it convenient to say it? "

You heard Cherie's slightly timid question and stopped what you were doing. You turned around and looked at her with a smile. You casually sat beside her and leaned against her arm with a relaxed expression.

"Eh ~ why not? Actually, I'm going to participate in the Alliance's online mecha battle game exchange. Cherie, have you watched it?

Do you have any favorite players?

I can get you an autograph. "

When Cherie heard the words "online exchange", she instantly gasped in surprise.

But she seemed to have thought of something and looked at you with her eyes wide open. She was both surprised and puzzled:

"Eretta, are you a family member of the top ten players on the leaderboard?

Could it be that Ebner senior is actually …? "

She secretly thought that Ebner senior had gained another halo. It was really amazing. But then she remembered that Ebner had already gone to the frontline as a third-year intern. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be attending, let alone bringing Eretta along.

You looked at Cherie's puzzled face and blinked calmly. You said as if nothing had happened:

"No, I was invited. I wasn't of age before, so my family didn't let me go. Now that I'm 18 years old, I can go out and play, so I agreed to this invitation."

As you said this, the corners of your mouth curled up, revealing a cunning smile like a cat.

"… Eh?"

Chelly was stunned for a while before she came back to herself.

She looked at your smile, and the doubt on her face gradually turned into shock. She held her breath and looked at your face in disbelief. She unconsciously shouted, "You're so beautiful!"

"Eh!????"

You blinked innocently and covered your ears in time. You breathed a sigh of relief. You thought to yourself: Fortunately, you're quick-witted. Otherwise, your ears would have been pierced by the magic sound.

Then you felt a force from the side. You were caught off guard and fell on the bed. You felt the soft touch of the bed below you. You looked at Cherie with a blank face, but you bumped into her rose-colored eyes that seemed to be sparkling.

Cherie's face flushed with excitement. Her eyes seemed to contain the entire Milky Way, sparkling like stars.

"Could it be that Eretta is — Qiu Yu?

The first place on the leaderboard?

The Qiu Yu who had never accepted an invitation before, but accepted it for the first time?

Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it?! "

Chelly's got you like an assault rifle. She rattled off the words without a breath.

You looked at Cherie. Her beautiful rose-colored hair fell on your face, making you a little itchy. You subconsciously grabbed the hair on your face and played with it for a while. After listening to Cherie's excited question, you tilted your head.

"Yeah."

You said casually. Then you blinked and slowly revealed a sweet smile to Cherie who was lost in shock. You said sweetly:

"Could it be that Chelly is a fan of mine?"

Cherie didn't reply. She was completely immersed in shock and confusion.

You looked at the dazed Chelly and rolled your eyes. A sly smile appeared in your misty blue eyes. You quickly moved closer to Chelly's face and kissed her gently on the cheek. Then, you whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Chelly. Don't worry.

"This is Qiu Yu's benefit for fans."

Her cheeks were soft and gentle like never before. Her fragile and sensitive ears were stirred up by the breath of someone talking. A numbing electric current seemed to spread from there to her entire body.

As if she had just woken up from a dream, Chelly suddenly jumped off the bed. Her face was as red as a tomato, and even the back of her ears were dyed with a faint blush. She covered her face at a loss. Her rosy eyes seemed to have seen the explosion of the universe. Starlight scattered in all directions, and it was extremely brilliant. She opened her mouth and looked at you in embarrassment and annoyance.

"Ai … Eretta!

You … you … "

She was incoherent and didn't know what to say.

You propped up your upper body and smiled innocently at Cherie. You asked innocently:

"What's wrong?"

After being teased by you, Cherie had completely forgotten her previous shock and panic. She only felt like her face was on fire. She didn't know where the heat came from, but it continued to increase the temperature on her face. Her heart was pounding like she was on a roller coaster.

She subconsciously wanted to say something, but when she saw your innocent and calm expression, she felt like she was making a mountain out of a molehill. So Cherie put down her hand slowly. She bit her lower lip and stared at the floor. She secretly sat on the bed again. Her mind was in a mess.

She looked at the floor and said awkwardly:

"Eretta … in the future …"

"I'm not allowed to kiss you in the future, right?"

You added with a smile.

Eretta felt her temperature rise again. She resisted the urge to cover her face and turned to look at you. She said nervously:

"… You're not allowed to kiss me in the future without letting me know."

Cherie clenched her fists. After she said this, she quickly turned her face away to avoid your gaze. She only felt her heart pounding. She didn't know why she said this, and she didn't know where she got the courage to say this.

… …

Not hearing your reply, Chelly instantly felt very embarrassed. She was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and run away. The urge to burst into tears surged up her heart like a tide. Her nose felt sour. She trembled all over with a confused and miserable look on her face. She was like a small animal that had been abandoned by human beings.

She wanted to laugh awkwardly and explain to you that she was just thinking too much.

She felt the familiar touch on her cheek again, unbelievably soft, and then she heard you say, with a touch of insufferably haughtiness:

"No, I like to steal kisses."

***

What was the offline exchange like?

You sat in the hotel lobby with ice cream in your hand. You ate it while in a daze.

It felt good to eat ice cream in the winter. You swallowed the cold in your mouth and closed your eyes in satisfaction.

The optical computer on your wrist vibrated. You looked down and saw that Rias sent a message.

[Rias: Where are you?]

You looked at the ice cream in your hand. You were too lazy to project the message on the optical computer. You typed directly with your voice.

[You: In the hotel lobby. Aren't we all in the same hotel?]

Rias tied his hair that reached his neck into a braid. His scarlet eyes were no longer covered by his hair. Under the light, they looked like rubies. His face that was usually covered by his hair was revealed. Although he still had the youthfulness of a teenager, you could see how handsome he was when he fully matured.

Unfortunately, his face was gloomy and he was surrounded by a world-weary aura. As long as someone looked at him with a teasing expression, he would glare at them coldly. It was as if a demon had appeared and scared away the person who wanted to hit on him.

But after receiving your message, his face suddenly softened. Although he still had that world-weary aura, he seemed to have calmed down a lot.

In the lobby …

He looked around the lobby, but there were only a few Betas and an Omega present. There were no Alphas.

His gaze swept over you and paused for a moment. Then, he looked away coldly.

Rias frowned and looked at your message again. After confirming that it was correct, he looked up and scanned every corner, trying to find someone he had missed.

No.

No.

No.

…

His gaze fell on you again and he was silent for a moment.

You noticed his gaze and looked up in confusion. Then, you saw his white hair and red eyes. After seeing his face that was exactly the same as the one on the screen, you smiled in surprise. Your canine teeth were faintly discernible. You waved at him.

Rias looked at your bright smile and smelled the pheromone at the tip of his nose.

It had the smell of osmanthus with honey and seemed to be mixed with soft and sweet cotton candy and gummy candy. The brownie and cherry wine made an incredible combination of sweetness and softness.

This was undoubtedly an Omega's pheromone.

You held the ice cream and smiled brightly. Two small dimples appeared on your fair and tender cheeks. You even shook your slender legs. You were like a canary that had been imprisoned in a garden and had never seen the outside world. You were innocent and ignorant of the world, but you also had a beauty that was shockingly fragile.

Rias was a little dazed for a moment. He felt as if he had traveled through time.

So …

Qiu Yu. She was not an Alpha or a Beta.

She was …

omega。

A delicate Omega.

And, an Alpha Omega.

The sense of absurdity in his heart grew bigger and bigger. He was a little confused. He felt as if his heart was being torn in half. On one hand, there was obvious pain. On the other hand, there was unspeakable joy.

As if his soul was out of his body, he seemed to see himself walking over and walking straight to that —
