Chapter 149: Interstellar (ABO) 03

"So, my wife won't have anything to do with her, right?" Ke Yuandao asked.

Gousheng already possessed a small humanoid mechanical body. Its mung-bean-sized eyes looked at its master with deep sympathy: "According to the development of ABO tropes, an Omega disguised as a Beta and a famous, single Alpha Major General will definitely meet and get to know each other. Or rather, they might even develop a romance..."

Stared down by his master's murderous glares, Gousheng continued, "Master, you cannot escape reality. Madam's perfect conditions completely fit the standard setting of a male protagonist."

"Bah, bah, bah! Our wife has been leading troops out there and roaming across the starry skies for years. How could she possibly know some ordinary Beta at a school!" Ke Yuandao refused to believe it.

"Don't forget, authors will do anything to make the male and female leads meet," Gousheng said.

"Shut your mouth!!"

---

Three days later, Ke Yuandao stared at the exploding online media platform, StarBlog.

Gousheng saw the news too. It shook its head and said, "Master, look, I told you, it would definitely—"

"Shut up, you jinx," Ke Yuandao said coldly and ruthlessly, picking up the little robot by its arm and shaking it. "Say one more word, and when we return to the real world, I'll downgrade your hardware to a 1G capacity."

What kind of concept was a 1G capacity? ? ?

Back in the era of Planet Blue in the 21st century, people would turn their noses up at it.

You couldn't even download a regular software application.

Gousheng prudently shut its mouth. It couldn't understand—humans were such strange creatures. It was clearly speaking the absolute truth.

Yet he got angry and took it out on an innocent, pitiful artificial intelligence. Too outrageous.

With a gloomy and unpredictable expression, Ke Yuandao stared at the message popping up on the optical brain screen before him:

Hua Guo Military Daily V: Major good news! To encourage outstanding students and cultivate more exceptional military student talents, the relevant departments will arrange for an outstanding general every year to serve as the drill instructor for freshman training at the Central Academy Military Institution. Today, the general who will be teaching the freshmen is our handsome Major General @Leyixian. Are the freshmen starting to look forward to the arrival of opening day???

In less than a minute after this StarBlog post went up, the comments exceeded ten thousand.

Major General Yixian is my idol: Ah, ah, ah! I've never felt that having good grades had any benefits, but now I think it's just so wonderful that I managed to get into the Central Academy Military Institution!!!!

Strawberry Pudding Jelly: Sob, sob, I missed it by just that one point and didn't get into the Central Academy. I hate this!

Muyun in a Rush: Envious, jealous, and hateful. I'm so salty [Lemon] [Lemon] [Lemon]

Africans don't deserve to draw cards: Relevant departments, you can't just care about the Central Academy. Our southern military academy is also very prominent. Look over our way, please!!!

...

Ke Yuandao read through the comments. Countless people expressed their envy and bitterness toward the freshmen of the Central Military Institution, while even more were openly confessing their love to his wife across the internet.

Feeling sour, Ke Yuandao began to consider whether he could disguise himself as a Beta right now and sneak into the military institution???

Hearing his younger brother's idea, Ke Keyuan (Ke Yuanya) was slightly surprised, but understanding dawned when she thought of the latest news she had received today. She shook her head and said, "No. You've always appeared with an Omega persona on Throne Star, which is different from me. Besides, that group of so-called idol generals has been prettified by the public relations department. Don't believe it."

Ke Yuandao looked at Ke Yuanya with deep grievance. "I don't feel like cooking today."

Ke Yuanya's expression shifted slightly. Ever since Ke Yuandao used the excuse of learning culinary arts, the kitchen had been entirely under his control.

The unimaginably delicious food successfully captured the stomachs of the original owner's family members.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go from luxury to frugality. Ever since she tasted the dishes cooked by her younger brother, Ke Yuanya—who always possessed a strong sense of self-awareness—felt that all the food she had eaten in the past was mere trash.

Now, if she were forced to go back to eating the meals made by the robot A-Liu, she would rather drink flavorless nutrient solution.

"There's really nothing I can do about this," Ke Yuanya said helplessly.

Ke Yuandao turned around. "I'm very sad and don't want to cook."

"Wait, I heard that the Le family is planning to hold a celebration banquet for Major General Le in a few days and will invite outstanding Omegas from Throne Star to attend. You can try making a move from this angle," Ke Yuanya hurriedly stopped him and said.

"You have a way?" Ke Yuandao asked.

Ke Yuanya shook her head. "I don't have a way!"

"No, you do," Ke Yuandao stared at her. "You knew news that Mom and Dad didn't even know."

If Mother Ke had known about this news, she would have long since come to find her obedient son, dress him up, and send him off to the banquet.

"I didn't. I just heard this news from a friend," Ke Yuanya said.

"If you can help me get an invitation card, I'll treat you to a Happy Fat-House Set Meal."

The Happy Fat-House Set Meal—Ke Yuanya hesitated. She was deeply tempted. According to legends, it was a wildly popular food item back during the Planet Blue era, for which countless people gave up even trying to lose weight. One could easily imagine the charm of such food.

In the end, Ke Yuanya sat in the living room, taking large bites of piping hot fried chicken paired with a glass of cola, feeling that life was complete.

"Remember to help me, Sis," Ke Yuandao said with a beaming smile from the other side of the dining table.

Ke Yuanya wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth and looked at her younger brother with a peculiar gaze. "Where on earth did you learn how to cook?" Before Ke Yuandao could speak, she shook her head again. "Forget it. Since you've learned it, the lucky one is me."

"It's not you," Ke Yuandao propped his chin on one hand, refuting her words as the corners of his lips lifted slightly. "The lucky person will be Major General Leyixian. Someone is going to cook for her for the rest of her life~"

Ke Yuanya felt that this guy was not her brother; her brother wouldn't be this shameless.

Ke Yuandao scoffed at this remark. You needed to be shameless to chase after a wife; he had to remind himself that he originally won his wife over precisely by virtue of his own shamelessness.

Of course, the method of pestering someone relentlessly didn't work for everyone—at least one had to be as handsome as he was.

Ke Yuandao thought with great smugness.

With the help of Ke Yuanya's anonymous friend, the Ke family received an invitation to the Le family banquet three days later. Ke Yuandao began preparing for a stunning first encounter with his wife, ideally making his wife fall for him at first sight.

Over these three days, he began taking over facial masks, face creams, hydrating toners, body lotions, and everything else from Mother Ke's hands.

His intention was to sculpt himself into a delicate yet unpretentious little cutie.

Goodness knows he had won his wife over back then precisely by virtue of his little-cutie appearance. To chase her all over again, Ke Yuandao was full of confidence.

Dressed in attire chosen according to his wife's preferences, Ke Yuandao set off for the banquet.

Upon arriving at the banquet, he looked at the brightly dressed men and women and felt utter contempt. Don't even think about trying to snatch her from him.

As a result, until the very end of the banquet, Ke Yuandao did not see his wife make an appearance.

Leyixian hadn't attended the banquet at all!!!
