Chapter 212 Admiral Beta is the romantic male partner (38)
After this incident, both of them tacitly agreed not to mention it again.
Lin Shen felt embarrassed. After all, Bai Zhao was beaten up, and he spent a lot of time and effort to comfort and compensate him, which made Bai Zhao stop pursuing the matter.
As for Qiao Yu, he was afraid and didn't dare to touch the memory of that night again.
Lin Shen was confused by Qiao Yu's changes.
After that incident, Qiao Yu was no longer as cheerful as before. She always looked at Lin Shen secretly with a panicked look, as if she was afraid of something.
Although Lin Shen was a little confused, he did not ask any further questions because he was busy in the military most of the time.
There was new progress at the research institute, and Lin Shen's work became even busier.
He was either handling affairs in the military or participating in research in the research institute. The fast pace of life left him with almost no time to think about other things.
Occasionally, he would meet Qiao Jili and the two would go to the research institute together, but more often he would meet Xiao Qiyu.
Xiao Qiyu always comes to Lin Shen to discuss work matters. After all, they are colleagues, and Lin Shen is willing to communicate with him.
Lin Shen had no choice but to do this, and this busy and dull life continued until Ren Ling's birthday.
The palace prepared a grand banquet for Ren Ling, and Lin Shen was naturally among the invited guests.
He received an invitation to the palace banquet and knew that it was an important occasion that he could not miss.
When he stepped into the palace banquet hall, Lin Shen unexpectedly saw Qiao Yu's figure.
He was standing not far away, staring at Lin Shen with his eyes fixed, which was completely different from his usual appearance where he would impatiently run up to Lin Shen the moment he saw him.
Qiao Jili was not present, so Lin Shen did not think much about it. After all, this plot did not exist in the original novel.
But Lin Shen knew that he needed to make a quick decision. He had to break up with Qiao Yu as soon as possible so that the male protagonist could come to comfort and save him and complete his mission.
The original novel does not describe Lin Shen, the scumbag ex-boyfriend in much detail, and only mentions a few things, which gives Lin Shen a lot of room to play.
Today, he decided to take advantage of it.
Lin Shen shifted his gaze away from Qiao Yu, lifted the wine glass on the table, and took a sip.
At this time, Ren Ling walked quickly towards Lin Shen, his arm casually placed on Lin Shen's shoulder, and glanced in the direction Lin Shen had just looked, his face slightly displeased, but fortunately Lin Shen did not notice.
Ren Ling muttered, "Is that your partner?" When he said the word "partner", Ren Ling almost gritted his teeth.
Lin Shen nodded casually. His attitude seemed nonchalant, and he didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic any longer.
When Ren Ling saw Lin Shen's attitude, his heart suddenly became cheerful and the smile on his lips was almost unable to be maintained.
Seeing that Lin Shen and his partner's relationship didn't seem as close as the outside world said, Ren Ling was naturally in a good mood.
He tightened his arms, a smug gleam flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at the man over there provocatively.
Then he said proudly, "Where's my gift?"
Lin Shen glanced at Ren Ling, and seeing that he was smiling with his big white teeth showing, he couldn't help but laugh.
Ren Ling looked at Lin Shen's half-smile and couldn't help thinking that Lin Shen was so handsome, so he started to smile foolishly again.
Lin Shen looked at Ren Ling doubtfully, thinking to himself, is this guy really the hero? His behavior is really confusing.
Ren Ling naturally didn't know what Lin Shen was thinking. He was happily thinking about how to make Lin Shen break up with the one from the Qiao family. It would be best if they never met again, so that he would have a chance to get close to Lin Shen.
After a while, Ren Ling was called away by people in the palace, and Lin Shen sat alone in the corner. Occasionally, a group of people would push and shove forward to toast him.
Lin Shen behaved very politely and drank everything with a smile.
After a while, the banquet officially began. The process was very simple. First, the emperor gave his speech, followed by the queen, and then it was Ren Ling's turn. They were all polite words of thanks, nothing new, and Lin Shen was bored watching them.
He searched for Qiao Yu in the crowd, but didn't see him.
Instead, he saw Qiao Jili, who looked at him with complicated eyes. Lin Shen rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while, thinking that Qiao Jili must know about his relationship with Qiao Yu and felt sorry for his brother.
Lin Shen looked away, and suddenly, he saw Qiao Yu's back, so he put down his wine glass and chased after him.
The corridors of the palace were intricate and Lin Shen walked around twice but still didn't see Qiao Yu.
Suddenly, a boy appeared in front of him. He clenched his hands and looked at Lin Shen shyly. He was very handsome and looked very cute.
He stammered, "Admiral... Actually, I, I like you."
Lin Shen looked towards the corner in front of him and saw a familiar corner of clothes.
He sighed in his heart, it was really like a pillow was given to me when I felt sleepy.
Lin Shen put on a smile. He knew that this was an opportunity that he could exploit. It could both stimulate Qiao Yu and pave the way for his own plan.
When Lin Shen smiled, his face looked charming and attractive, and his passionate eyes sparkled with light that made people unable to help but be intoxicated by it.
The boy looked at Lin Shen's smile and was stunned for a moment, then he quickly reacted and his face turned completely red in an instant, as if blood could drip out.
Lin Shen raised his hand and gently stroked the boy's chin. His voice was very soft, as if he was whispering to his lover, full of temptation: "What's your name?"
This action made the boy feel very helpless. His expression became a little obsessed, and his eyes were full of admiration and desire.
"General, my name is Si Zhi." The boy replied with a slight tremor in his voice.
Lin Shen touched his face gently, his movements were extremely ambiguous, and the air seemed to be filled with electricity, making people's heart beat faster.
"It's a nice name." This was undoubtedly a compliment to Si Zhi.
With Lin Shen's encouragement, Si Zhi became bolder. He moved closer to Lin Shen, as if he wanted to kiss those lips that fascinated him.
Lin Shen narrowed his eyes but did not avoid it. There was a hint of teasing in his expression, as if he was enjoying this game.
At this moment, Si Zhi was suddenly pulled back by a strong force, and he staggered back a few steps.
Lin Shen smiled and watched this scene without saying anything. His eyes were calm.
After Si Zhi stood firm, he looked back and saw Qiao Yu standing there with a sullen face and eyes full of anger and jealousy.
He obviously saw the ambiguous scene between Lin Shen and Si Zhi, which he couldn't stand.
Qiao Yu's sudden appearance broke all the ambiguity.
