Impossible to Imagine What His Majesty's Omega Will Be Like

Chapter 33

Against the library wall stood an ancient wooden clock.

As Ye Nanxun rose, he glanced at the clock still ticking. Yan Beiyou had arrived at the library early, about ten minutes ahead of the hour Song Ren had told him.

Ye Nanxun closed the book in his hands. "Your Majesty, are you done with your work?"

Yan Beiyou gave a slight nod. "What are you reading?"

Raising the book, Ye Nanxun showed the alpha the title on its cover. "It's about pheromones."

Recalling the focused look on the omega's face as he read, Yan Beiyou stepped closer. "Do you like this kind of book?"

"I'm curious," Ye Nanxun said, lowering his gaze to the cover in his hands. "For the past few years, I've been researching microbial medicine—ways to ease an alpha's symptoms during their susceptible period and help omegas safely get through their heat period..."

In his previous life, Ye Nanxun had rarely left home, devoting his energy to researching microbial medicine.

Unfortunately, before he could develop medicine with minimal side effects that would help alphas and omegas through their susceptible periods and heat periods, Xu Wenyan and the others had killed him.

Ye Nanxun had set up a private laboratory at home, but some experimental equipment was extremely expensive and unavailable for private purchase, slowing his research more than he had expected.

His recent proactive attempts to contact the Scientific Research Institute about work had been partly to maintain some connection with the outside world, but more importantly, because he regretted being unable to complete his research in his previous life.

The Scientific Research Institute had sufficient influence and funding to provide him with a more advanced laboratory and better equipment.

Seeing Ye Nanxun still reluctantly holding the unfinished book, Yan Beiyou's gaze softened. "Leave the book here. You can take it home to read after the banquet."

A gleam flashed through Ye Nanxun's pale green eyes. "I can take it home?"

The Royal Library held an extensive collection. Some books were priceless, having become one-of-a-kind originals over the long years. Without special permission, they were not allowed to leave the library.

"I've added you to the library's access list. You can come anytime if you want to read other books. If you want to take one away, register it with the robot librarian at the front desk."

Yan Beiyou suddenly smiled. "Keep it up, top student. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Yan Beiyou's "top student" made Ye Nanxun feel uncharacteristically embarrassed.

Ripples of emotion spread across his calm face. For the first time, he met another person's gaze directly. His long, thick lashes trembled lightly, but his voice was steady and strong.

"Okay."

Winter nights fell quickly. It was not yet six o'clock, but the entire sky had already darkened.

Layer upon layer of dark clouds blanketed the sky. As the last trace of daylight faded, the vast Palace Square lit up with brilliant, dazzling lights.

Xu Wenyan followed behind Young Master Zhou like a clingy little shadow. Where Young Master Zhou could not see, he shot the omega's back a cold, vicious glare.

He had painstakingly played pitiful and obedient, finally managing to get close to Young Master Zhou.

He had thought he could use Young Master Zhou's connections to approach Yan Beiyou. Yet after having coffee with Ji Yunqi that afternoon, before Xu Wenyan could even say a word, Ji Yunqi had hurriedly left again.

Xu Wenyan leaned close to Young Master Zhou. "Brother Zhou, General Ji is young, handsome, wealthy, and powerful. There must be plenty of people after him. I think he was definitely lured away by another omega just now."

Young Master Zhou frowned at that. "General Ji isn't the fickle type."

Although Ji Yunqi was a playboy who changed omegas one after another, when he was dating one omega, he never got tangled up with anyone else.

That was probably why, despite knowing Ji Yunqi was unfaithful, omega after omega still flocked to him.

Everyone thought they could make Ji Yunqi settle down. Zhou Zhixia thought so too.

Xu Wenyan lowered his voice. "General Ji may not be that kind of person, but he can't stop others from pulling tricks. Young Master Zhou, you're just too honest and kind."

Zhou Zhixia's brows drew together slightly as he glanced at the beautiful omega beside him.

Xu Wenyan's reputation within their circle was far from good. He was an omega from some remote planet with no social standing, yet he had managed to hook the only alpha son of General He's family.

So what if many people looked down on and disliked Xu Wenyan?

For He Yiming's sake, no one dared say anything to his face.

Noticing Zhou Zhixia's hesitation and growing restlessness, Xu Wenyan sneered inwardly.

These people acted so high and mighty, looking down on him, but in the end, weren't they all curious, envious, and jealous of his methods for seducing alphas?

"Wow—"

Sharp gasps rose all around them.

The exquisitely designed lights illuminated the enormous sculpture standing in the center of the square.

Majestic, magnificent, powerful.

The crowd in the square raised their heads as one, gazing up at the statue that symbolized the pinnacle of power and strength in the galaxy.

Xu Wenyan's eyes widened. His gaze fixed on the statue of the Imperial Palace's master was direct and burning.

"Your Majesty—"

Hearing the trembling voice beside him, Zhou Zhixia turned his head and was startled by the scorching, undisguised heat in Xu Wenyan's eyes.

It was not Zhou Zhixia's first time at the Imperial Palace's central square, nor was it his first time seeing the massive statue of the galaxy's emperor.

Though the statue stirred his heart every time he saw it, his reaction was no longer as intense as it had been the first time.

Thinking that it was probably Xu Wenyan's first time seeing Yan Beiyou's statue from so close, Zhou Zhixia did not think much of it.

After all, throughout the entire galaxy, their emperor had an enormous number of fanatical followers.

Handsome, powerful, influential, and single.

That was enough to drive anyone—alpha, omega, or beta—mad with desire.

Zhou Zhixia had once been tempted too.

But Yan Beiyou was too far away from them.

Farther away than the stars in the sky.

He still understood the difference between a dream and a delusion.

Gazing from afar at the alpha's magnificent and handsome sculpture, Zhou Zhixia sighed softly. "I simply can't imagine what His Majesty's future omega will be like..."

Xu Wenyan said nothing. A fierce, determined desire seeped into his eyes.

Why couldn't His Majesty's future omega be him?

It could only be him.
