Accidentally Choosing the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date
When Ji Anli said those three words, his previously wavering heart finally settled.
Once the words were out, there was no chance to take them back.
He maintained a calm demeanor, waiting for everyone’s reaction. Thinking that although everyone present would react, they would also understand his choice.
After all, the person he chose was the most outstanding among those who came to the matchmaking event this time.
Not to mention the aura when the person appeared, his combat ability was also the strongest among everyone present.
Of course, the most important reason Ji Anli chose him was that General Lin’s second form was the fluffiest, making it impossible for him to say with a clear conscience that he didn’t want to choose him.
As Ji Anli uttered those three words, the entire banquet hall fell into a sudden silence, a deathly stillness.
Even the previously gentle and romantic music came to a halt. Everyone turned to look at him in shock and disbelief.
Anyone unaware might have thought he had just cast a spell to freeze everyone in place.
Ji Anli first glanced at Lin Jing who was not far away.
Lin Jing had been keeping his eyes down, not looking in this direction, as if he never expected Ji Anli to choose him.
He hadn’t even realized that Ji Anli was referring to him.
It wasn’t until the atmosphere around him felt off that Lin Jing finally looked up.
His sharp brows and handsome eyes had been indifferent as if he was detached from everything happening in the banquet hall.
His expression had been aloof since he arrived as if none of this had much to do with him.
But now, seeing Ji Anli’s clear and unmistakable gesture, his calm demeanor finally showed a crack.
His expression turned to one of shock, looking at Ji Anli with a strange and complex gaze.
His eyes didn’t show much emotion, but his reaction was definitely unusual.
Ji Anli, to ensure there was no ambiguity about his choice, had straightforwardly and clearly pointed at Lin Jing.
Now, realizing something was off, Ji Anli slowly withdrew his hand and turned his head to look at President An.
Even in his delayed realization, he sensed something was wrong.
What was the issue?
President An had said he could choose anyone present, so why was Lin Jing’s reaction like this?
If Lin Jing was present, wasn’t it implied he could be chosen?
Why this reaction?
If it was because the odds of being chosen were low, then the expression was understandable.
But why did the other high-quality Alphas also look like they’d seen a ghost?
And then there was President An, who followed Ji Anli’s pointing direction and looked utterly bewildered.
She hadn’t recovered from the shock, her whole demeanor dazed.
After a long moment, she took a sharp breath, stiffly turned his head to Ji Anli, and asked, “You… you said you chose who?”
Ji Anli blinked slowly, trying to ease the tension, “Is there a problem? Wasn’t I allowed to choose anyone? I think General Lin is very suitable, so I chose him.”
The crowd’s expressions grew even more complex upon hearing this.
Wasn’t he allowed to choose anyone?
That statement was certainly correct, as all the high-quality Alphas attending the matchmaking event were there to be selected.
But the problem was… among the eighteen young high-quality Alphas present, excluding Ji Anli and President An, plus the sole matchmaking witness, there was a one in eighteen chance.
How did he manage to miss all the right answers and pick the one that was a hundred percent wrong?
The eerie silence was broken by a stifled laugh and the sound of a champagne glass shattering.
These two sounds occurred simultaneously, but the two people’s attitudes towards Ji Anli choosing General Lin were completely different.
The Fifth Prince was the one who couldn’t hold back his laughter. Even his eyes were filled with amusement.
Before coming, he thought Mr. Ji was just lucky to have this opportunity.
Since he didn’t have a princess consort yet and Ji Anli fit his aesthetic, he came to participate.
But at this moment, he truly found Ji Anli to be an interesting person.
The one who crushed the glass was Lin Yu.
His psychic strength momentarily lost control, causing him to grip too hard.
When he came back to his senses, he placed the broken stem of the glass aside.
Fortunately, it was an empty glass shattered by psychic force, so it didn’t attract too much attention
After all, everyone’s attention was on his good second brother at the moment.
He knew this person was born to counter him.
He originally planned to stop him from being the witness, fearing he would come and ruin his plans.
But the other party managed to come anyway and not only did he not get selected, but Lin Jing got chosen instead.
How ridiculous!
How could someone with a genetic defect, born inferior, surpass him and the Fifth Prince to be chosen by this blind, pretty trash?
President An finally snapped out of her shock, took a light breath to avoid looking ignorant, and forced a smile, “Student Ji, did you misunderstand something?”
Ji Anli earnestly asked for guidance, “Misunderstand what?”
President An met Ji Anli’s sincere gaze seeking an answer and confirmed that he genuinely didn’t know, feeling both amused and helpless, “Student Ji, there are a total of eighteen people attending the matchmaking banquet this time.”
Ji Anli nodded, “So?”
He hadn’t really counted how many people there were but he remembered one thing, everyone attending the matchmaking event was there to be matched with him.
So what was the misunderstanding in choosing General Lin and why was everyone so shocked and incredulous?
President An’s expression was complicated, “General Lin… was the nineteenth person to attend the banquet.”
Ji Anli, “What?”
President An continued to reveal the other party’s identity, “He is the only witness of this matchmaking event, here to witness the beautiful moment of your engagement with your future partner.”
Yet, among so many young, high-quality Alphas, Student Ji didn’t spare them a glance and instead chose the matchmaking witness who wasn’t even a participant?
This was not only unexpected for President An but also for the empire’s higher-ups.
Ji Anli’s expression was even stranger than President An’s.
No way?
Wasn’t he supposed to choose the most suitable, highest compatibility, least burdensome Alpha?
General Lin was indeed the most suitable, strongest, and least burdensome Alpha.
Could it be…
“Is his compatibility with me not enough? Otherwise, why would General Lin only be a witness and not a participant?”
And who has a matchmaking banquet with a witness for the first time?
How could he have expected the supposed matchmaking candidate to turn into a witness in an instant
President An didn’t expect that even after her explanation, this student Ji still hadn’t given up.
She could see that this student Ji was genuinely interested in General Lin even though he didn’t know much about General Lin’s situation.
Previously, he probably didn’t pay attention to external matters due to his lack of psychic power and having a fiancé.
President An glanced at General Lin who had already lowered his eyes again, making it hard to discern his attitude.
Although it wasn’t appropriate to invade someone’s privacy if she didn’t dispel student Ji’s thoughts now, this matchmaking event would really become a joke.
Moreover, most interstellar people were aware of this matter.
President An lowered her voice and said, “General Lin hasn’t participated in gene matching. He possesses beastman genes which classifies him as a special type of person with genetic defects, making it difficult for him to have offspring in the future.”
Even though President An spoke in a low voice, everyone present had high psychic power and heard her words.
But this information was available on the official website so this was destined to be an impossible choice.
Lin Yu was initially angry when Ji Anli mentioned those three words but upon hearing President An’s persuasion, he couldn’t help but show a mocking smile.
He had really misunderstood earlier.
How could this be a bad thing?
Look, Lin Jing was once again being compared and despised, trampled underfoot.
This was the life Lin Jing deserved, to be rejected and abandoned without hesitation.
No healthy Omega would choose a psychic power user destined to have no offspring and with genetic defects.
No matter how strong Lin Jing was, he would still hear that tone and see those eyes filled with shock, disbelief, and disgust.
Lin Yu began to look forward to the next moment…
Ji Anli’s voice rang out after President An finished speaking, but there was no displeasure, only confusion, “Genetic defect? I know. So what’s the problem with me choosing him?”
It was precisely after seeing General Lin’s second form that he decided to choose him, otherwise, he would have already politely declined everyone and gone home.
As for the issue of offspring, he had heard people privately discussing it when his genetic report was abnormal before, and he was quite accepting of it.
It was just a pity that he could have no more opportunities to have something fluffy.
Ji Anli’s words once again shocked everyone present, causing them to collectively gasp.
Was he really in a daze after knowing?
Did he still choose General Lin at first glance?
Lin Yu was even more incredulous, his expression twisting for a moment.
Why?
Lin Jing was completely caught off guard.
He didn’t know when he raised his head, quietly looking in Ji Anli’s direction. His expression complex and difficult to conceal with emotions in his eyes that were hard to understand.
After thinking for a moment, he took a step and walked briskly towards Ji Anli.
President An snapped out of her daze and was about to continue persuading Ji Anli when she felt a shadow fall over her.
Looking up, she saw General Lin approaching.
He first glanced at Ji Anli then looked at President An and solemnly said, “Can I talk to him alone?”
Lin Jing was afraid that if Ji Anli continued speaking, he would offend everyone.
If word got out that he gave up so many high-quality Alphas to choose someone with genetic defects, it would negatively impact his reputation.
President An came back to her senses.
She was too shocked and almost forgot that there were still other people present, making it inappropriate to speak in front of everyone.
So she looked at General Lin expectantly, signaling with her eyes, “You two should have a good talk, make sure to have a good talk.”
She hoped to persuade student Ji to give up this idea
Ji Anli followed Lin Jing to a small conference room nearby.
It was completely soundproof, so there was no worry about being overheard.
As Ji Anli stood there, he couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
President An still didn’t say whether it was a compatibility issue or not.
He felt confident in his choice.
Just as he looked up, he heard Lin Jing speak with a complex expression, “We…”
Ji Anli guessed what he wanted to say.
Images of Lin Jing’s furry form flashed through his mind, and he spoke first, “If you’re trying to convince me because of so-called genetic defects and offspring issues, there’s no need. I actually chose you because of your genetic defect. Otherwise, I was planning to politely decline this trip. It was really the higher-ups who were persistent, so I came, but I didn’t intend to actually choose anyone. But when I saw you transform… I realized you had a genetic defect, and it changed my mind.”
Lin Jing’s expression became even more peculiar for a moment, “What?”
Ji Anli lowered his eyes, his fingers subconsciously rubbing the seam of his pants—a small habit when he lied.
But thinking of future happiness, he decided to tell a well-intentioned lie.
Others might see genetic defects as a bad thing, but he saw it as a benefit.
Ji Anli took a deep breath and began, “General Lin might have heard about my situation. Not long ago, I was rejected from a marriage because of an abnormal genetic report saying I couldn’t have offspring. Although I later evolved into a SSS-level healer, blessings and curses come together. I still have a hidden condition that can’t be disclosed to outsiders.”
He lowered his voice even more, saying the words, “During my monthly heat period, there’s actually an incurable symptom called Furry Touch Disorder. Simply put, without touching the second form of someone with beastman genes, I completely lose control.”
Ji Anli spoke calmly but Lin Jing, hearing this term for the first time, was completely stunned, “You said… you have what disorder?”
