My Love Rival and I Are 100% Compatible - Chapter 110
Shen Yu was speechless. Later, when Xi Zhoumeng was away, she approached Xi Mingguang in the main hall.
“Whose personality is your Zhoumeng resembles?”
Xi Mingguang expressionlessly slapped Shen Yu’s hand away, “Definitely not yours.”
Shen Yu chuckled, glancing at the hall full of meritorious nobles, “How could she be like me? I don’t think you or Dr. Chu are like that either.”
Xi Mingguang, rarely home, struggled to recall her daughter’s childhood, managing only, “She wasn’t very close to people when she was young.”
The queen hadn’t arrived yet; many were chatting. Thinking of the pregnant Omegas that year, Shen Yu sighed.
“I wonder where the Insect Race’s base is. The aftereffects of insect radiation are too severe; many children were unwell that year.”
Xi Mingguang nodded, “Zhoumeng was also unwell when she was young.”
She was often away on expeditions, and this was a regret.
Shen Yu: “Look how lively she is now, always finding opportunities to scold me.”
She happily looked towards the younger crowd. The tall illegitimate daughter of the Wen family stood beside Xi Zhoumeng, attracting teasing glances.
Shen Yu whispered, “Do you know what’s going on between them? I first heard that their relationship was very good, but their compatibility wasn’t high, and you didn’t approve of them being together.”
“Saying it’s a space opera version of Romeo and Juliet?”
Shen Yu’s teasing was obvious, even though she knew Xi Zhoumeng and Chi Yueshan were dating.
Xi Mingguang was helpless, “How is that possible? I’m not that old-fashioned.”
Even though the Empire’s regulations were cruel, AO couples still had a chance to be together.
Compatibility was a basic condition, but there were examples of couples with low compatibility who had good relationships.
Marriage and love were different things entirely; the aftermath of selflessness was far crueler.
Shen Yu: “That’s what I said.”
An elder noble approached; as if Shen Yu had jinxed it, they asked the question.
“Is your fourth daughter marrying that youngest of the Wen family?”
The person held a glass of champagne, their face showing a concerned intimacy.
“The Wen family isn’t good. According to the regulations, if they don’t achieve merit this generation, they’ll be expelled.”
“And they owe billions of star credits. I don’t think they’ll inherit anything, unlike Commander Xi, who suddenly got married, had a child, and gained inheritance rights.”
“Don’t you think so, Marshal Shen?”
Shen Yu didn’t expect to be called out while eavesdropping. She nonchalantly shook her head, “What’s the matter? True love conquers all.”
She looked at Xi Mingguang, “Don’t you think so?”
Xi Mingguang showed no displeasure at the implication, nodding seriously, “Let the children decide.”
A group of young people gathered in the distance. Xi Zhoumeng was already a focal point, and her presence was always striking at these annual gatherings. Growing up in this world, she had never been a passerby.
Xi Li said whoever asked her wanted to be ridiculed to death.
Wen Xinghuo’s presence at the palace banquet this year surprised the young nobles.
Some were students from Guyun Academy, but they didn’t join in the teasing.
“Zhoumeng, I’m engaged, when are you getting engaged?”
It was a red-haired Omega. Her dress was extremely tight at the waist, her chest high, and the pearl necklace hanging down was exceptionally dazzling.
Xi Zhoumeng offered congratulations, accepting the fruit wine from the waiter, smiling, “I don’t have a partner yet.”
The other exclaimed, “Isn’t it Wen Xinghuo?”
There were many Omegas here, male and female. The Alphas didn’t want to come near Wen Xinghuo.
The pressure was too strong. Even without that, ordinary Alphas wouldn’t dare to offend Xi Zhoumeng, only comforting themselves that beauty could only be admired from afar.
Wen Xinghuo’s ears were ringing. She had been hearing this since arriving, mixed with curses from other Wen family relatives.
It was all about her being a jinx, causing her brother to have a car accident and her father to be hospitalized.
Wen Xinghuo was used to taking the blame since childhood. She admired the person who lied so calmly to secure her spot.
The problem was that Xi Zhoumeng didn’t need her for anything, making Wen Xinghuo even more apprehensive, feeling that she would have to repay the favor tenfold.
And this young lady claimed to be single yet constantly showed off her relationship.
Wen Xinghuo considered herself traditional, she didn’t know why this OO relationship, with Xi Zhoumeng, felt normal to her.
It was as if Xi Zhoumeng didn’t care about ABO genders.
As if nothing could stop her.
Whether she wanted to be alone or ruin someone.
“Xinghuo and I are just good friends,” Xi Zhoumeng smiled at Wen Xinghuo, “And our Xinghuo is busy with her career.”
“Our,” “Xinghuo.”
The beautiful Omega’s voice was already extremely pleasant; even her scolding sounded pleasant.
Especially with the intimate tone, it was hard for others not to overthink.
After all, Xi Zhoumeng’s usual aloofness was well-known.
Wen Xinghuo: …
Suddenly, a group of Omegas’ gazes fell on Wen Xinghuo.
Wen Xinghuo was about to collapse. Most Omegas in the Upper World were enthusiastic, making Sheng Yangkui seem particularly special to her.
Although Xi Zhoumeng had mercilessly commented that it was like a turtle looking at a green bean.
But Wen Xinghuo couldn’t argue; how could feelings be quantified by formulas? There was no way to prove it wrong.
She also liked this type.
Xi Zhoumeng suddenly feigned surprise, “Don’t you know she has someone she likes?”
Not everyone here was from Guyun Academy; some were from other academies in the capital star. The academies’ forums rarely communicated, and no one would specifically check.
“What! Someone dares not like you?”
The red-haired Omega exclaimed, her body trembling.
Xi Zhoumeng had just commented that the red-haired Omega’s pearl necklace had good taste when the system shocked her.
It was also fierce.
[System: Don’t look there!]
Xi Zhoumeng: …
[Are you sent by Chi Yueshan? Is it necessary? I’m not a lecher who falls in love just because someone has big breasts.]
[System: Aren’t you?]
Even knowing it was intentional, knowing this person was slightly older than her current self.
But Xi Zhoumeng found these Omegas to be like children.
She smiled, “By your logic, your Alpha should like me too?”
Wen Xinghuo silently stifled a laugh, thinking why these young ladies always liked to argue with Xi Zhoumeng.
Haven’t they learned their lesson after all these years?
They always end up angering themselves.
Xi Zhoumeng sighed.
A young Omega from the same school whispered, “Senior isn’t studying to date, she has other things in her life.”
Xi Zhoumeng glanced at her, the girl smiled foolishly.
Xi Zhoumeng sighed inwardly, thinking how boring.
It’s better to sleep with Chi Yueshan.
[System: Pervert!]
Xi Zhoumeng found this thing’s personality growing bolder and more distinct, as if a living person was behind the data.
This kind of small talk was easy for Xi Zhoumeng to control. Wen Xinghuo, attending for the first time, felt like she was back in middle school.
She listlessly looked at the palace’s furnishings; the sculptures were incredibly intricate, like gods descending.
The more advanced the technology, the more people seemed to love handmade art.
These murals and sculptures were ancient, from before the Insect Race appeared. People’s worries were only hunger and cold in the four seasons.
No one knew why the Insect Race came.
At the end of the ceiling sculptures was a slender goddess holding a damaged meteorite, dispelling the darkness that had lasted for a thousand years.
From then on, people ushered in lasting light.
Xi Zhoumeng finally sent away the beautiful and clingy Omegas. She turned to Wen Xinghuo, “Shall we sit together?”
Wen Xinghuo was actually not very willing to do so, as Xi Zhumeng was simply too eye-catching.
Xi Zhoumeng didn’t intend to let her object, she sat down next to Wen Xinghuo, having the waiter change the seat’s owner.
Wen Xinghuo hesitated, “It’s okay if we don’t sit together, right?”
Xi Zhoumeng: “Holocoms are forbidden during the queen’s appearance, I can’t slack off and play cards.”
Wen Xinghuo couldn’t refute, only nodding.
Watching helplessly as the electronic nameplate with her eldest sister’s name was placed at the Xi family’s table.
She thought: It’s over, it’s definitely going to be noisy tonight.
Sure enough, five minutes before the official start, Wen Yi, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, who had just resolved a hovercar fender bender issue, saw her changed seat.
She looked at the spot in shock, screaming at the waiter, “What the hell are you doing?”
The waiter pointed again, “Your seat is there.”
The Wen family’s eldest Omega felt that her family had been particularly unlucky recently. Her brother crashed into a roadside AI guide last night, not only facing huge compensation but also breaking his leg.
Her father, that old geezer, was hospitalized and flirting with a middle-aged male Omega, he was reported and transferred from the hospital to a mental hospital.
Not to mention her incident of forgetting her card while sleeping with a Beta being exposed, she was still being ridiculed.
She shouted angrily, “Why change seats! Change it back!”
The Wen family’s style was stinginess and unreasonableness.
Making a fuss was common, but even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse; they were still nobles, and people would usually give them some face.
But their face wasn’t big enough; the ones who changed the nameplates were the top noble family, the Xis.
The waiter remained unmoved.
Xi Mingguang spoke, “Wen Yi, don’t be polite.”
Wen Yi was actually the same generation as Xi Mingguang, but her age was similar to Shen Yu, who was sitting next to Xi Mingguang.
No one stipulated that nobles with the same surname had to sit together.
Everyone knew the Shen and Xi families were close.
Wen Yi wasn’t polite; she was just rebellious.
But after Xi Mingguang finished speaking, the Empire’s top Marshal also nodded, “Yeah, what’s there to be polite about? We’re all family.”
She added fuel to the fire, giving the wrong clues.
More people were confused.
-“What family? Is someone from the Wen family marrying someone from the Shen family?”
-“No way, is it the Xi family?”
-“Didn’t the youngest of the Xi family break up with the illegitimate daughter of the Wen family?”
-“I heard the Wen family’s daughter likes the princess.”
-“Then why are they sitting together?”
-“It’s normal for young people to break up and get back together, did the Xi family give in, but the Wen family didn’t agree?”
-“How dare they, it’s normal for the Xi family to look down on them…”
Wen Yi was about to go crazy. She looked at Wen Xinghuo on the other side.
Except for Xi Zhoumeng, everyone at that table was from the Wen family, thankfully they could sit still.
But Wen Xinghuo was clearly closer to Xi Zhoumeng, openly declaring their relationship.
Wen Xinghuo sighed, casually eating a lychee, looking like a cow chewing peony in Xi Zhoumeng’s eyes.
The beautiful Omega swirled the wine in her goblet. The commotion and whispers made Wen Xinghuo uncomfortable, but she found Xi Zhoumeng had the leisure to admire her face under the guise of drinking.
Wen Xinghuo felt even worse; with Sheng Yangkui’s insecure nature, she might retreat again.
Xi Zhoumeng also sighed, “Why am I so beautiful?”
Wen Xinghuo: …
If holocoms weren’t forbidden, she would have taken a picture to show Chi Yueshan.
On the other hand, Wen Xinghuo felt Chi Yueshan was amazing, able to withstand this kind of person.
Xi Zhoumeng: “Don’t keep looking at me, I’m afraid your wife will be jealous.”
Wen Xinghuo: “I wasn’t looking at you.”
Xi Zhoumeng: “My wife is much better than yours, she’s from a good family, and very brilliant.”
Wen Xinghuo was speechless, sullenly turning away.
At that moment, all the lights in the hall dimmed except for one, casting a clear light. An Omega in a wheelchair slowly arrived at the main seat.
She wore a veil adorned with black pearls, wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, looking extremely tired.
In the darkness, the front row was occupied by the royal princes and princesses.
Sheng Yangkui’s heart pounded, she quietly turned to look at Wen Xinghuo’s seat.
She couldn’t see anything; she just wanted to calm herself.
Some truths were hidden in this body filled with death.
Having experienced that pain, Sheng Yangkui knew that if the queen’s clothes were removed,
there would be terrifying wormholes inside.
The decay beneath the beautiful exterior, the body hosting the Insect King’s consciousness had reached its limit.
It needed to pass its weapon to the next host, successfully completing its grafting.
If fate’s trajectory remains predetermined, I don’t have much time left.
But how should I say it?
The palace banquet was attended by the elite; the news wouldn’t report it, and the galaxy’s queens have never had any image data.
Even interstellar diplomacy doesn’t show their faces.
Even when a new queen ascends, it’s just a blurry silhouette.
…
Chi Yueshan specifically checked the data, feeling they all looked like the same person, similar in build and height, thin and small, as if they hadn’t developed well since childhood.
She left the Mechanical City and bought some food on the roadside.
Chi Yueshan was quick and efficient; the boss wanted her to earn more money, giving her several more jobs.
Chi Yueshan could almost match the mechas in Zhou Fengqin’s notes with the real ones.
But she still couldn’t understand the meaning of the strange symbols in the notes.
Severe insect radiation could cause the entire body to rot, even the brain to be hollowed out.
Master wasn’t that bad before she died, only organ failure.
Chi Yueshan still remembered Zhou Fengqin’s gaze and whispers before her death.
Her words were always unfinished, as if a void had been dug, painfully unable to be expressed.
Then she left.
What was it?
Master knew many foreign languages and ancient characters, but Chi Yueshan couldn’t translate the characters in the notes.
Perhaps that planet had disappeared, perhaps the civilization had been destroyed.
Chi Yueshan stayed in an old bookstore until very late. When she came out, she found a strange message in her holocom contacts.
From a classmate at the academy.
- -Hello, classmate Chi, because you have a good relationship with senior Xi, I want to ask if you know about her new partner.
- -My sister likes her very much.
Chi Yueshan was stunned for a long time, feeling the last sentence implied pursuing Xi Zhoumeng.
She snorted in the cold wind.
She still didn’t dare say that she was her partner.
She could only coldly say she didn’t know.
Then she opened her chat with Xi Zhoumeng, bombarding her with messages.
In the end, she was still not satisfied——
The other Omegas who went to the palace banquet have returned! Why haven’t you replied to me yet!
If you don’t reply, I won’t go back!!

【About Public Relationships】
Xi Zhoumeng: It’s okay to go public, what are you afraid of?
Chi Yueshan: I’m not afraid! You’re the annoying one! I’ll be bothered to death at school.
Chi Yueshan: Not to mention we’re an OO couple.
Xi Zhoumeng: Doesn’t this prove our love is strong?
Chi Yueshan: Who, who’s love is strong with you! I want a peaceful school life, no publicity.
Xi Zhoumeng said “oh”: You were so passionate when you liked Wen Xinghuo, but now you want me to hide?
Xi Zhoumeng: So I’m just your concubine kept outside?
Chi Yueshan: You’re good at analogies! Which concubine is as flamboyant as you!
Xi Zhoumeng: Concubines possess many skills—they can bring their master to ecstasy, crying “no,” yet never allowing their servant to leave.
Chi Yueshan stuffed a cherry into her mouth, her face flushed red: Okay enough! We’ll go public later.
Xi Zhoumeng: Okay, don’t scold me and get jealous then.
Chi Yueshan: Whoever gets jealous is a dog!
