This question is like encountering Cheng Zimei’s touch switch. The driver and Shen Dai were listening to her love theory and practical lessons during the entire journey, which made the driver stunned and sometimes echoed a few words.

Cheng Zimei is a very interesting person. According to her own words, she is an all-around athlete. She does not delay in study, career, sports, image maintenance and love. Usually women or omegas who are engaged in scientific research pay more attention to academics. They paid attention to time to dress up. And falling in love is determined by the ratio of energy distribution. Most of them will lose one or the other. But Cheng Zimei’s energy is terrifying and she has plenty of curiosity plus desire to explore everything, even if it is about love. To study and to conduct research with an academic attitude, she believes that this is a major branch of sociology, and of course it can be solved by integrating scientific knowledge.

Shen Dai was moved by her point of view, because he believed in logic and dialectics, and no matter how big the individual differences between people are, the expression of words and deeds will be manipulated by genetic instincts. It is known that he and Qu Moyu have established many kinds of relationships. Under the premise of having a legal marriage relationship and intimate behaviour at the same time, he is the person who is most likely to impress Qu Moyu.

During this period of time, he was trapped in emotions, making himself dizzy and worrying about gains and losses. This was a state he had never had in his life. To describe it in words, it is akin to him feeling dazed. He was at a loss because of the unknown and was at a loss because he was at a losing end. Even in the darkest moment of his life when the accident happened in his family, he was never at a loss, because he knew that those real problems could be solved by making money. He was young. Being capable is nothing more than suffering, but the path is clear and the direction is right.

But he was completely blind when it came to the matter of love. It was a field he had never studied before. His heart was like a lonely boat floating in the sea, floating with Qu Moyu’s words and deeds. Every single thing was out of his control. But he clearly has a strong learning ability and he is clearly very good at using his brain. He would fight rather than being timid and surrendering before a battle.

As Cheng Zimei had said, if you don’t have the spirit of studying and enterprising, what kind of scientific research workers are you? What he should do is not without difficulty. But when faced with difficulty, it does not mean that there is no hope of success.

After getting out of the car, Cheng Zimei made a concluding statement: “Anyway, if you have time, you should also learn a little knowledge on emotions. You have never been in love, which means you don’t understand the alpha species at all.”

“Hmm.”

“Why are you suddenly curious about this today? Do you really want to pursue the crown prince?” Cheng Zimei’s eyes were full of excitement.

“No. Just chatting with you casually.”

“You don’t like doing this before at all. Hehe. Don’t you feel a little anxious about what I had talked about?”

Shen Dai smiled: “After my grandma’s surgery, I’m in a good mood. I can talk about anything.”

“If you really like him, try it. I’ll help you with your effort. It’s not shameful to like someone. You can control your strength and you won’t really get fired like the previous three omegas.”

Shen Dai smiled without saying a word, thinking that he was going to do something unprecedented. He had been apprehensive day and night. But in comparison, at least he had more advantages and opportunities than anyone else. It was time to do some brainstorming, rather than thinking about emotional things.

When she arrived at the hospital, Cheng Zimei was a little dumbfounded: “Isn’t this a private hospital?” The hospital hall was decorated like a five-star hotel, where it looked like not a place to see a doctor, but like going for a vacation.

Shen Dai was also very helpless. He wanted to let Cheng Zimei come to visit after his grandmother was discharged from the hospital, but she insisted on coming to see her immediately. It was hard to refuse, so he could only say an excuse that he had made up a long time ago: “As what I had said. This time it has to do with that ‘good thing’ we talked about, well… my biological alpha father gave me a sum of money.”

Cheng Zimei nodded, not surprised: “I guessed so. Who will give you money except him. Why? Your omega father is making trouble again? Didn’t he just reappear?”

“I can’t say why. Anyway, getting money is a good thing.”

“Understood. Good things are still good things. Then you have no financial problems now so you can fall in love.”

“It’s really much easier now.” Shen Dai changed the subject, “Let’s go. It’s this ward.”

Shen Dai’s grandmother had woken up at this time and was eating, with Shen Qin by her side. This looked like a picture of a son who was kind and filial to his mother. Shen Dai sighed in his heart. Maybe this is the best for his grandmother.

“Ah Dai. Oops, Zimei is here.” Grandma smiled brightly and stretched out her hand, “I haven’t seen you in a long time.”

“Grandma, I miss you so much.” Cheng Zimei also ran over happily, holding the grandmother’s hand and asking for warmth. She has a sweet mouth and is very good at coaxing people.

Shen Dai smiled and put some things down. When he looked at Shen Qin, he only nodded stiffly.

Shen Qin said attentively, “your grandma ate a lot today and went down to the ground floor for a while in the afternoon. The doctor said that it’s good to move around a little bit. She’s recovering well.”

“That’s good, I guess she can be discharged on time.” Shen Dai took the flowers brought by Cheng Zimei out of the packaging and wanted to put them in a vase. When he turned his head, he found a bottle of an aroma diffuser on the bedside table. It looks brand new.

Shen Qin explained following his gaze: “Oh, your grandma said that the hospital smells bad. This orange blossom smells a bit like my pheromone. It’s very fragrant.”

Shen Dai looked at the equally fragrant flowers in his hand, his eyes sank: “This bottle is a few hundred yuan.” He just transferred ¥ 3,000 living expenses to Shen Qin yesterday. He asked Shen Qin to get some high-nutrition foods to nourish his grandmother’s body. As a result… He always knew that Shen Qin’s consumption habits were bad. How much he spends, even if he has no money to eat tomorrow, he could spend thousands of dollars today just to do his hair. He will always remember that after Shen Qin made a million dollar from You Xinghai, he did not replace it with a practical fixed asset such as a house, but bought a sports car and squandered the rest within only a month.

It’s just that he thought that after experiencing the trials of life, people will change.

“Uh…but this fragrance is really good.” Shen Qin said cautiously, “I also want your grandma to feel more comfortable.”

Shen Dai’s grandmother let out a sigh.

Cheng Zimei rolled her eyes secretly.

In his grandmother’s ward, Shen Dai didn’t want to show that he was angry. He said solemnly, “Don’t buy these expensive and impractical things. I said before that you should keep an account for every transaction.” It seems that next time he can’t give too much money at once.

Shen Qin said reluctantly: “Okay. I see.”

That weekend, Shen Dai stayed in the hospital for half of the time to accompany his grandmother and spent the other half of his time to arrange a new house. If she recovered well, she could be discharged from the hospital next week. He wanted her to live in their own house as soon as she was discharged from the hospital. But he discussed it with his grandmother, and he couldn’t tell Shen Qin that the house was bought. He told him that it was only rented. After all, they all had a painful experience. Shen Qin was asking if he had a rich boyfriend so it made him more vigilant.

On the night of returning to Qu’s house, Shen Dai found Aunt Lan and said that he wanted to make breakfast for Qu Moyu himself in the morning. He felt that if he liked someone, being sincere to him was the most basic thing to do.

Aunt Lan had a ‘you’re finally enlightened’ expression and said happily, “Great. What do you want to cook? I’ll get the kitchen staff to prepare the ingredients for you.”

“No, I’ll cook with whatever I see tomorrow.” Shen Dai said a little embarrassedly, “Aunt Lan, actually, I would like to ask you to learn more about Moyu’s preference, um… not only for food, but also for life. Habits, hobbies, tempers, and all.” Aunt Lan had been serving Qu Moyu since childhood so who would know Qu Moyu better than her.

“Then I have too much to talk about.” Aunt Lan smiled, “It’s late tonight. You go to bed first and let’s have a good chat tomorrow.”

Shen Dai hasn’t cooked for a long time. When he was a child, he liked to cook delicious food with his grandmother. He was born in a family with a strong artistic atmosphere. He was quite versatile, but he didn’t have those leisurely feelings after he started working. When he was lying in bed and couldn’t fall asleep, he flipped through the recipes, thinking about how Qu Moyu would react when he ate the breakfast he made, and he couldn’t help but smile to himself.

The next day, he got up an hour earlier, quickly prepared himself, and rushed to the kitchen. Qu Moyu prefers Chinese-style breakfast. But for a Chinese-style breakfast with rice noodles, the nutritionist has formulated a daily carbohydrate intake for him, and the ratio of carbohydrates, protein and vitamins in the morning should be within a general framework. He discussed with Aunt Lan and the chef first. In the end, he only made small shrimp wontons, fried eggs and boiled green vegetables. It was the first time for him to make breakfast for Qu Moyu. If he made some complicated food, it would be too deliberate. His thoughts were hidden like the wonton stuffing that he and his grandmother experimented making together.

Qu Moyu is very self-disciplined. The process of getting up early every day will not exceed more than ten minutes. When he goes downstairs, Shen Dai is already prepared. When he saw Shen Dai, he was a little surprised: “If you don’t leave for work now, are you not afraid of being late?”

Shen Dai usually leaves half an hour earlier than Qu Moyu. His reason is that the commute time is long, but in fact, he rides a bicycle and transfers to the subway, which is no slower than Qu Moyu who is stuck in the morning rush hour. He just wanted to spare the embarrassment of having breakfast together at the end.

“Fortunately, I don’t have to clock in.” Shen Dai teased, “The boss won’t deduct my salary, right?”

Qu Moyu smiled: “It seems that I have to change the rules and regulations of the institute first.” He glanced at the breakfast, and immediately realised that it was not made by his chef.

“I made it.” Shen Dai’s heart beat a little faster, but he pretended to be relaxed, “I can’t fall back asleep when I wake up in the morning, so I just want to cook something for myself. It’s all home-cooked meals. I don’t know if it suits your taste.”

Wontons, fried eggs, and green vegetables are indeed the most common home-cooked meals. Compared with the delicious dishes that are elegantly arranged by the chef and were accurately calculated by the calorie, the arranged ordinary food lying in white porcelain noodle bowls and bone dishes have more of a ‘homely’ sense.

Qu Moyu’s heart trembled slightly. It was an indescribable feeling: “What was the dish you cooked last time? It was delicious.”

“Shrimp and tofu pot.” Shen Dai said immediately, unable to restrain his excitement, “If you like it, I’ll make it for you again next time.”

Qu Moyu glanced at Shen Dai with a light smile: “Okay.”

*Translator’s Note: Actually, this little fish Qu Moyu kinda lacked familial love from his own father and mother. He had so many expectations on him that’s why I think he was emotionally underdeveloped. I think Sundae is the first person who made him feel like he belonged for the first time. A sense of home and a family. But of course, he doesn’t realise this yet. Even in the current ongoing raw chapters, he is still dumb dumb but oh well, I’m here for the dog blood anyway. -K
