The Stunning General Finds Himself in a Shura Field on a Dating Show ABO - Chapter 24

Xu Shengyuan, accustomed to Xie Shi’s reserved nature, showed no surprise. He pointed upstairs.

The innermost bedroom on the second floor.

With that, he proactively took Xie Shi’s suitcase and led him upstairs.

Being publicly snubbed would upset anyone, especially Lu Qingze, who was already in a foul mood.

Noticing Lu Qingze’s displeasure, Ye Zhi quickly tried to smooth things over.

Brother Lu, don’t take it personally. Xie Shi’s just shy and too embarrassed to call out to people.

Is that so? Lu Qingze suddenly turned to ask. Why are you defending him?

Help! Why is Brother Lu suddenly so sharp-tongued?

For some reason, facing this version of Lu Qingze made Ye Zhi instinctively want to flee. He deliberately changed the subject, forcing a sheepish smile.

Um, Xie Shi just arrived. I’ll show him to his room.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhi hastily turned and hurried upstairs.

Lu Qingze didn’t stop him.

Under the camera’s gaze, his expression remained unchanged, still the handsome Film Emperor. But in the hidden depths of his heart, a violent rage was festering, threatening to consume his reason.

Xie Shi, you’d better not provoke Ye Zhi.

Just then, Jin Xi emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray of dishes. He looked slightly surprised to see Lu Qingze.

Your work’s finished?

Lu Qingze gave a curt acknowledgment and, without further conversation, also headed upstairs.

Jin Xi ???

Who made him so angry?

Seeing Lu Qingze about to go upstairs, Jin Xi hurriedly called out after him

If anyone’s still up there, tell them lunch is almost ready!

Okay, Mom Jin!

The upstairs is killing me with laughter, hahaha!

The Film Emperor seems even more unhappy than usual. He’s colder than ever.

Who wouldn’t be upset after being publicly humiliated by a junior? The Film Emperor is being remarkably generous by not making a fuss.

Meanwhile, in a second-floor room, Xu Shengyuan had just wheeled his suitcase inside.

You can take that bed, Ye Zhi said to Xie Shi, pointing to the empty bed near the door.

Okay, Xie Shi replied, glancing at the other two beds. Which one’s yours?

Ye Zhi gestured toward the bed by the floor-to-ceiling window. I’ll take that one. Brother Qin will sleep between us.

Xie Shi nodded and began unpacking his things without further questions.

With his handsome, well-behaved appearance and lingering baby fat in his cheeks, Xie Shi looked especially adorable as he focused intently on his task.

Remembering Xie Shi had called him Brother Ye, Ye Zhi asked, How old are you?

Eighteen, Xie Shi replied, looking up at Ye Zhi. I’m a year younger than you, Brother Ye.

Ye Zhi’s heart nearly melted under the earnest gaze of Xie Shi’s puppy-like eyes.

Oh my god… Xie Shi is so cute!

And he called me Brother?!

Leaning against the doorframe, Xu Shengyuan watched Xie Shi with a slight frown.

Why does this kid seem to treat Xiao Ye so differently?

Just then, Lu Qingze arrived, announcing in a calm voice

Dinner is ready.

He glanced at Xu Shengyuan.

Come with me for a moment.

Teacher Lu’s tone sounds just like the headmaster’s, hahaha!

Is he still in character? I remember the Film Emperor played a teacher in his last drama.

Now that you mention it, it really does sound like it, hahaha! But why is he calling Xu over?

Inside the alphas’ room, Lu Qingze turned his back to the camera, removed his microphone, and gestured for Xu Shengyuan to do the same.

Xu Shengyuan could guess what Lu Qingze wanted to ask.

He reached up and detached his microphone.

Without the cameras rolling, Lu Qingze dropped the pretense.

His expression turned cold and his tone hostile.

Did you bring Xie Shi here? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?

You’ve got it backwards. He sought me out himself.

Xu Shengyuan’s voice carried a hint of helplessness.

Xie Shi’s backers were powerful figures in the Capital Circle, people he couldn’t afford to offend, let alone refuse.

Lu Qingze paused, momentarily stunned. His first reaction was disbelief.

How is that possible?

You thought he’d definitely avoid you, right? I thought so too, Xu Shengyuan continued.

But strangely, when I told him you were here, he insisted on coming anyway.

Remembering Xie Shi’s special treatment of Ye Zhi, Xu Shengyuan speculated, I’ve always felt like he came for Xiao Ye.

Hearing this, Lu Qingze’s heart sank slightly. Why do you say that?

I don’t know, just a feeling. My instincts are usually spot-on.

Just then, a knock came at the door.

Xie Shi’s luggage was packed, and Ye Zhi had come to call them down for dinner.

The moment he peeked his head in, he was startled by the heavy atmosphere. What are you two talking about? Did something bad happen?

Xu Shengyuan clipped his microphone back onto his collar, smiling casually. Nothing, just chatting. Let’s go.

At the dining table, Qin Siran had already laid out the dishes. Ye Zhi practically sprinted downstairs.

Wow! It smells amazing, Brother Qin! What did you cook?

You were shaken up today, so I made chicken soup for you. I also cooked some other home-style dishes.

Qin Siran still had his apron on, looking remarkably domestic.

Is this the legendary ‘group’s darling’ treatment?

Seriously, can’t we all live together? A group dynamic wouldn’t be so bad.

With so many men, Xiao Ye will break, right?

Upstairs, you’re getting a ban warning!

After lunch, it was finally time for the group activity.

The mission text message, which had been silent for a while, finally arrived

Guests are to compete in beach volleyball according to the randomly assigned teams. The winning team will have priority in selecting their seafaring vessel.

The message was a multimedia text, including the randomly assigned team list.

Ye Zhi found his name on the list, and next to it was Jin Xi’s.

Jin Xi also spotted Ye Zhi’s name. He stood up first and announced to the group, So, we need to head to the beach now. Shall we go together, everyone?

On the sandy beach, Ye Zhi held the volleyball and asked Jin Xi, Do you know how to play this… what’s it called again?

Jin Xi nodded, glanced at Ye Zhi, and countered, Do you?

What about you?

Ye Zhi shook his head.

In the Xia State, they only had Cuju, not this volleyball thing.

This was the first time he’d ever heard of the sport.

Realizing he was about to hold his partner back, Ye Zhi said apologetically, I’m sorry, being paired with me is a real disadvantage for you.

Jin Xi glanced at the two Omegas standing nearby, feeling a pang of disappointment.

If second genders didn’t matter, Ye Zhi would definitely be his type.

But alas, this beautiful boy was just a Beta.

Betas simply couldn’t compare to the allure of Omegas.

Lost in thought, Jin Xi remained silent for a long moment.

Ye Zhi, feeling awkward, didn’t dare break the silence.

Noticing the boy’s unusual quietness, Jin Xi finally snapped out of his reverie.

He clapped Ye Zhi on the shoulder, smiling. Don’t worry about it. If you don’t know how to play, I can teach you.

Though disappointed by the pairing, Jin Xi couldn’t bring himself to blame the earnest young man beside him.

When Lu Qingze and Xu Shengyuan’s teams learned that Ye Zhi didn’t know how to play volleyball, they decided to have their match first, giving Ye Zhi time to learn.

Lu Qingze’s partner was Qin Siran, while Xu Shengyuan’s partner was Xie Shi.

The moment Lu Qingze saw Xie Shi, a faint smile curled his lips.

Throughout the match, Lu Qingze consistently aimed his shots at Xie Shi, the high-speed, spinning volleyballs repeatedly skimming past Xie Shi’s face.

Xie Shi immediately recognized Lu Qingze’s deliberate targeting.

Though an Omega, Xie Shi refused to be outdone by Lu Qingze and swiftly retaliated.

What began as a simple beach volleyball game transformed into a thrilling spectacle through their silent rivalry.

The live stream comments buzzed with excitement

Even though he’s an Omega, why do I find him so cool?

Do these two have beef? Do the Film Emperor and Xie Shi know each other?

This Little O is so cute, but he plays so fiercely! I’m kinda in love.

To better capture the intensity of the match, the camera abandoned its fixed position, giving each guest a close-up.

When the camera focused on Lu Qingze, he was leaping to strike the ball, his neck arching slightly backward, the sunlight highlighting its sensual curve. A faint bite mark suddenly appeared on camera.

Wait, did I see that right? Is that a bite mark?!

Probably from that day during the Film Emperor’s heat. He bit Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye bit him back.

LOL, Xiao Ye really holds a grudge!

Film Emperor, the unattainable flower, meets the vengeful beauty. I’m here for it!

Meanwhile, on the set, Xu Shengyuan was completely relaxed thanks to his teammates’ overzealous efforts.

He occasionally helped Xie Shi before shifting his attention to Ye Zhi, who was practicing nearby.

After Jin Xi explained the rules of volleyball, Ye Zhi quickly grasped the fundamentals. His natural athleticism allowed him to master the techniques in no time, and he was soon exchanging proper volleys with Jin Xi.

The youth leaped and landed with effortless grace, the sea breeze lifting his loose clothing to reveal a glimpse of his slender waist, drawing the eyes of many onlookers.

As their practice session ended, Jin Xi moved closer to Ye Zhi from behind to better demonstrate a technique. His free hand naturally settled on the boy’s waist.

Just then, a volleyball came hurtling toward them at high speed, aimed directly at Jin Xi.

Caught off guard, Jin Xi took the full force of the impact in his abdomen and was knocked to the ground.

Fvck, he cursed under his breath, glaring at the culprit.

Lu Qingze wore a look of feigned remorse as he offered a seemingly sincere apology

Sorry, my hand slipped.

Slipped? Jin Xi thought bitterly. How does a slip send a volleyball from one court to another with such pinpoint accuracy, hitting me of all people?

This kid’s still as fake as he was when we were kids.

Before the cameras, Lu Qingze couldn’t say anything. He could only reply magnanimously, No problem.

Ye Zhi hadn’t expected such an accident. He rushed to Jin Xi’s side, asking anxiously, Are you okay? Does it hurt?

Jin Xi glanced at Lu Qingze, understanding the situation. He looked at Ye Zhi, his expression drooping like a wronged golden retriever, and complained, It hurts like hell.

Hearing Jin Xi’s complaint, Ye Zhi grew concerned. Injuries were common in military campaigns, and through repeated exposure, he had picked up some medical knowledge. Without hesitation, he lifted Jin Xi’s shirt to examine the injury.

The crowd gasped in shock.

The live stream comments erupted in silent screams

Beauty, you’re so brave!

Thank you, beauty, for the fan service!

Jin Xi’s abs have been screenshotted!
