Accidentally Choosing the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date
Lin Jing stopped when he noticed Ji Anli’s ears turning almost completely red.
He had spoken casually without much thought but now he felt a bit uneasy.
An inexplicable, strange atmosphere lingered between them.
Lin Jing walked alongside Ji Anli for a while longer, waiting for the heat on his face to subside before speaking again.
“I know you said those things on purpose because you can’t openly talk about your condition. I understand, so you don’t have to worry about me misunderstanding.”
Although he had overheard it unintentionally, if it were him, he would indeed feel embarrassed too.
Lin Jing genuinely thought this way.
Because of the condition, Ji Anli had specifically mentioned the second form so he hadn’t thought much of it at the time.
He just assumed Ji Anli was saying those things to retaliate against Wen Zhen.
Of course, an important point was that when Wen Zhen was slandering him Ji Anli said those things to defend him.
Apart from his comrades who had been through life and death with him, it was the first time someone who had only met him twice stood up for him like that.
So when Ji Anli asked him earlier, he spoke openly, not expecting Ji Anli to react so strongly.
Ji Anli had calmed down by now. After hearing Lin Jing’s explanation, he felt mostly reassured, though he couldn’t help but feel guilty.
After all…
Lin Jing thought he was trying to provoke Wen Zhen, but in reality, his words were half-true.
At least, he couldn’t take his eyes off the majestic and imposing second form of the Snow Wolf.
But he definitely wouldn’t confess this to Lin Jing, letting him believe it was all intentional.
The two quickly put the incident behind them and went to have a meal.
Because of what happened earlier, Ji Anli and Lin Jing decided not to continue with the so-called date and instead opted to go for a premarital check-up.
Ji Anli had his second genetic test done at the Second Hospital on the capital star before and he planned to go there again this time to avoid the doctors bribed by Ji Chenhao.
Although Ji Chenhao was still detained for investigation, there was no guarantee that the people he had arranged wouldn’t tamper with his test results again. He definitely wouldn’t go to the First Hospital.
Lin Jing usually went to the First Hospital but this time he chose to accompany Ji Anli to the Second Hospital as he also needed to have his wounds redressed
When the two of them arrived at the Second Hospital, it was two in the afternoon.
Since they had already submitted an appointment the night before, they went straight to the VIP floor.
This was a change made after Ji Anli was identified as an SSS-level Healer as there were very few Healers above S-level, making the marriage application process more complex.
Ji Anli had never done this kind of test before so he only found out about the special VIP building when he arrived.
He thought about it and felt that even his Uncle Ji or Ji Chenhao shouldn’t be able to reach here, especially with Lin Jing by his side this time.
However, what Ji Anli didn’t expect was that when they got to the VIP floor and the elevator doors opened, they saw a rather unexpected person inside.
The moment Lin Jing saw Lin Yu, he stepped forward to shield Ji Anli behind him. His deep eyes fixed intently on the young, gentle, and handsome man in the elevator who bore some resemblance to him.
Lin Yu was accompanied by two bodyguards in black suits.
Seeing this scene, he raised an eyebrow in surprise and then said helplessly, “Second brother, what are you doing? Do you think I would be upset with Mr. Ji for choosing you over me and do something to him? Are you here for the premarital check-up?
Coincidentally, Father is here for a check-up today too, he’s upstairs right now. Do you want to come up later and tell him about your engagement?”
Lin Jing showed no reaction to his words, only responding coldly before the elevator doors closed, “No need, I’ll make a special trip to the Lin family to tell him when I have time.”
As the last word fell, the elevator doors closed, shutting out all of Lin Yu’s expressions.
But Ji Anli clearly sensed that Lin Jing’s aura became very alert the moment Lin Yu appeared as if they might start fighting at any moment.
When another elevator arrived and they got in, Ji Anli glanced at Lin Jing, “Is what’s happening to you… because of him?” To prevent anyone in the elevator from overhearing, he didn’t explicitly mention the word “poison,” but Lin Jing would understand.
Ji Anli’s suspicion was understandable.
Lin Jing was currently the top combat power in the galaxy and there weren’t many who could beat him purely in terms of strength.
Last night in the alley, the opponent only caused trouble because of a psychic outburst. But even then, Lin Jing didn’t fall behind.
So, to successfully poison Lin Jing, it would require not only gaining his trust but also being someone close to him.
Coupled with Lin Jing’s wary attitude towards Lin Yu, it wasn’t hard to guess this possibility.
Lin Jing didn’t hide it from Ji Anli.
He needed a reason to make Ji Anli aware that Lin Yu was untrustworthy and to be extra cautious of his friendly advances.
“It’s him. In the future, if you see him, it’s best to avoid him. His bringing the old man here for a check-up isn’t so simple.”
Lin Jing suspected that Lin Yu was trying to use the premarital check-up to stop them because Ji Anli chose him last night.
He didn’t want them to get married smoothly, just like how he initially didn’t want Lin Yu to succeed at the matchmaking event where he was a witness.
Ji Anli pondered, trying to recall everything about the Lin family from his past life.
But later, he was locked in a basement and didn’t know much about Lin Jing. Only learning from Ji Chenhao’s perspective that Lin Yu was the final ruler of the Lin family.
Lin Yu was initially the predetermined ruler so Ji Anli didn’t suspect much when he took power.
But if Lin Yu won in the end, what about Lin Jing?
If he couldn’t detoxify him in a few dozen days, what happened to Lin Jing in his past life…
This thought made Ji Anli’s heart fluctuate and he finally looked at Lin Jing seriously, “I will make sure you live well.”
He spoke with such seriousness and focus that it left Lin Jing momentarily stunned.
He lowered his head, gazing into Ji Anli’s light, glass-like eyes. After a long pause, he finally felt his throat go a bit dry and softly replied, “…Okay.”
Ji Anli felt that after their candid conversation in the elevator, the relationship between them had become much closer.
At least the unfamiliar feeling between Lin Jing and him had lessened somewhat, which put him in a good mood.
However, this good mood only lasted until they successfully got the test forms.
Ji Anli finally understood why Lin Yu had come to the Second Hospital with ill intentions, trying to stop them but not following them.
He was planning to watch a good show, certain that their premarital test wouldn’t pass?
Or did he want to see if Ji Anli would be scared upon seeing the second form of his beast body after a genetic defect went out of control?
Would Lin Yu then appear like a hero?
Ji Anli fell silent. Lin Jing, holding two test forms beside him, was also silent.
Each of them received two test forms: one optional test form and one mandatory test form.
Neither of them had ever done a premarital test before so they didn’t know there was a mandatory one.
They thought it was just like a regular physical exam but…
Ji Anli looked at the doctor, whose eyes were shining since they appeared, and asked, “These three items… can’t we skip them?”
The doctor nodded, “If you had come last year, they wouldn’t have been there, but it’s a new rule this year. Mainly because in recent years, too many Alpha-Omega couples or spouses have gone to the interstellar court to annul their marriage contracts, even becoming resentful couples.
Most reasons are that they only found out after marriage that their partner’s pheromone scent wasn’t suitable or even though the compatibility was good, during heat, the partner couldn’t fully soothe them with their pheromones.
With so many cases, the higher-ups simply added these three items to the mandatory tests to avoid such situations before marriage, hoping to reduce them.”
Ji Anli listened to the explanation and exchanged a glance with Lin Jing, “Can we discuss this?”
The doctor, with a good temper, waved his hand, “Sure, sure. There’s a small soundproof room over there. You two can discuss it thoroughly. No rush.”
After all, these were the celebrity fiancés he had just read gossip about on the star network last night.
And now, he was lucky enough to see them today.
Were they already doing premarital tests?
Wouldn’t that mean good news would come soon?
Ji Anli and Lin Jing stood in the not-so-large soundproof room. Ji Anli pointed at the three mandatory tests, eyes downcast, completely unsure of how to look at Lin Jing.
“What… do you think?”
Lin Jing hadn’t expected that one day he would not only be engaged to someone he officially met on the first day but also have a flash marriage seven days later.
And now, on just the second day… they were already facing “intimate contact”
But looking at Ji Anli who was trying to act calm despite his reddened ears, Lin Jing’s gaze fell back on the highlighted mandatory tests.
First, confirm that the Omega’s gland is intact before marriage or that the previous partner’s Alpha pheromones have been cleared.
Second, confirm that each other’s pheromone scents are within an acceptable range before marriage.
Third, confirm that during the Omega’s heat or the Alpha’s rut period, the partner has the ability to effectively soothe another.
The mandatory test list was the same for both of them.
Except for the first item, the latter two clearly required both of them to be tested together.
The first item was easy to complete, just a scan with an instrument but the second one… was inexplicably ambiguous.
If it were other engaged couples who were familiar with each other, they might accept it calmly but Lin Jing and Ji Anli had only truly met yesterday.
But that wasn’t the most troublesome part.
The most problematic was the third item.
Lin Jing thought for a moment and then asked, “You mentioned earlier that your hidden ailment flares up during your heat period. Since the third item tests the partner’s soothing effect during the heat period, it should involve a mild pre-stimulation. It’s not severe, just mild, but in that case… will your hidden ailment also flare up?”
This was a hospital and inhibitors were definitely available, plus it was just mild stimulation, so it was within a controllable range.
But the problem was that Ji Anli’s situation was different. His heat period was accompanied by a condition where he lost control unless he touched anything furry.
Considering Ji Anli’s previous discomfort with his word-for-word explanation, Lin Jing used a more discreet expression for the hidden ailment this time.
Even though Lin Jing was discreet, Ji Anli understood.
He looked up, his eyes bright yet inexplicably embarrassed and annoyed, “You should be more worried about whether you’ll lose control if you prematurely trigger your rut period and transform into your second form. What if you can’t control it and got a psychic outburst?”
