Chapter 41 – Eat Dog Food* (15.1)
[*T/N: In Chinese, single people are jokingly called “单身狗” or “single dogs.” When single people see couples being lovey-dovey they are “eating dog food.” It means being subjected to the sight of lovey-dovey couples makes you feel the status of being single even more.]
An Ji maintained the posture of holding hands with Li Rong and silently walked across the lawn and arch bridge. When they arrived at the garden outside the banquet hall, he finally raised his head and hesitantly asked: “Do you really believe I didn’t do it?”
“Why would I not believe you?” Li Rong seemed a little surprised and instinctively said, “You have helped so many bullied omegas before, so how could you use this method to retaliate against others?”
He did indeed say that before, but the problem was…
“How do you know?” An Ji narrowed his eyes, “That should be what happened when I was on the Junk Star.”
Similarly, that was what had happened when Li long was forced to make an emergency landing on the Junk Star at the age of fourteen.
During an internal power struggle within the empire, a group of star thieves were bribed to kidnap Li Rong. He had forcibly connected with a mecha and escaped, but he was forced to land not he Junk Star due to insufficient energy. A local omega boy then picked him up.

At that time, Li Rong was seriously injured. His spiritual power and pheromones were in a semi-collapsed state, so he disguised his appearance and identity, pretended to be an omega, and moved into the other person’s house.
The fourteen-year-old Li Rong had fair skin and a slender figure. He was full of indistinguishable androgynous beauty. He told the youth that he came from the Republic and the boy did not doubt him at all. The other person took the initiative to teach him how to survive on the Junk Star, and didn’t even avoid him when sleeping or bathing.
Two months later, the imperial warship finally found Li Rong.
Li Rong searched all over the Junk Star, but he could not find the boy who had taken care of him.
It wasn’t until six years later did he meet An Ji.
Only then did he realized that the other party had also lied to him. His real name was An Ji and he came from the Capital Star.
“I just did a little research…” Li Rong lowered his head and said in a small voice. Fearing that An Ji would not like it, he quickly explained, “Of course, I don’t know any more than that!”
“It’s okay if you know,” An Ji shook his head, “It’s just that maybe most people don’t like this kind of omega.”
“Who said that? I like you precisely like this!” Li Rong blurted out. His face suddenly turned red and he could not help feeling vexed.
An Ji laughed and rubbed his head: “Okay. Understood.”
Li Rong was anxious: “Just now, I was only making an analogy…”
He had no intention of confessing like this!
An Ji was still smiling: “Okay, I understand.”
Li Rong did not dare to continue talking about this and forcibly changed the topic back to the case. On the grounds that the case occurred in the palace and the imperial family had reason to participate in the investigation, he directly “persuaded” the police department to let them participate in the investigation while surrounded by a group of imperial guards.

When he saw the imperial guards marching straight into the police station, Yu Zhengruan’s expression turned dark. He stopped in front of the main entrance and said coldly, “What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?”
“According to His Majesty’s orders, I am here to help Commissioner Yu catch the criminal.” Li Rong’s face wore an aptly concerned expression. “After all, such a terrible thing happened in the palace. My mother and younger sister don’t dare to go out, worried that the next victim could be them.”
Bullshit.
The two ladies had already rolled up their sleeves and were filled with righteous indignation. They wanted to rush forward and crush the criminal’s penis.
Li Rong said, “Commissioner Yu, please actively cooperate and bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible.”
The young police commissioner stood there, his eyebrows twitching uncontrollably, with a look on his face that said, “What the hell are you talking about?”
Did the prince think that he, Yu Zhengruan, was not familiar with those two ladies’ temper? They did not fit the stereotypical image of an omega at all! But since the two were members of the imperial family, Yu Zhengruan could not comment on anything. He could only let Li Rong inside with a depressed look on his face.
An Ji followed Li Rong and walked in. Li Rong got inside, but a gloved hand blocked An Ji at the door.
“Wait!” Yu Zhengruan stopped him. His face was full of cold indifference, “Who let you in?”
