56. Choosing a Good Day

The good news came so suddenly, and Edgar still hadn’t come back down to earth.

Picking up the communication device that had fallen onto the ground, he made a call to Shu Shu with an expressionless face.

Shu Shu had just finished sending the message when he noticed that Edgar was sending him an invitation to video call. Without thinking, he accepted it right away.

"The message just now was sent by you?" Edgar's face showed up on the communication device. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were watching Shu Shu intensely, making Shu Shu inexplicably feel his face getting a bit hot.

"Yeah." Shu Shu nodded.

"I see." Edgar said.

You see? What do you see? Shu Shu was a little puzzled, but the video call was already hung up at this moment.

Seeing that there was no activity on the communication device, Shu Shu put it away and turned toward Synthia. "Okay, let's go back to class!" After clearing things up, he suddenly felt very comfortable from head to toe.

He couldn't bear seeing Edgar and other sub-beastmen together. Now that he and Edgar were getting married, there certainly wouldn’t be such a thing . . . . Shu Shu felt like a big stone had been lifted off his heart.

"You . . . you . . ." Synthia, covering his own little mouth, stared at Shu Shu in shock and couldn’t even stop his body from shaking—what did he see? He actually saw a sub-beastman propose marriage to the crown prince!

"What’s going on?" Shu Shu asked.

"Shu Shu, you’re a sub-beastman. How could you send such news to the crown prince, you . . ." Synthia looked entangled. Normal sub-beastmen all wanted the beastmen to pursue them for a long time before agreeing to be with the beastmen. Furthermore, such a thing like proposing marriage should be done by the beastmen.

"I'm afraid he doesn't like me, ah!" Shu Shu stated very seriously. "You also saw that many sub-beastmen are more amazing than me." That Myer was much more outstanding than him. If someday Edgar liked Myer, how could he deal with it?

The things he liked and the things he wanted, he would quickly grab them and keep them well. This was his creed since forever.

"Alright . . ." Synthia nodded and then suddenly remembered something. "Shu Shu, didn’t you say that we should rely on ourselves? You said that we should go audit other classes? You know that we don’t learn anything important in the skill class."

“Okay, let’s go audit other classes!" Shu Shu nodded. He had already read all the textbooks of the skill class and learned all he should learn. He absolutely wouldn’t attend school just to learn impossible subject such as art appreciation, so going to audit other classes would be great.

"Where are we going to audit?" Synthia asked again.

"Where do I know? I was going to ask you this, ah." Shu Shu peered at Synthia. He was still illiterate not long ago; how did he know where he could learn something else, ah?

While Shu Shu and Synthia were pondering about where to go to learn something else, Edgar took out his communication device to make a call to his mother.

"How come you make a call at this hour? What happened?" Receiving the phone call from his son, Ian worriedly asked.

"Mother, I’m getting married." Edgar said.

"Getting married? Shu Shu agreed?" Ian was shocked. Hadn’t his son not yet worked things out with Shu Shu? How come he was suddenly getting married?

"Yes, Shu Shu promised to marry me." Edgar stated with a blank expression, but he could not conceal the happiness in his eyes, and he also could not stop the corner of his mouth from curling up.

". . ." So they were actually two peas in a pod! But even so, wasn’t it too fast to get married now? For a moment, Ian didn't know what expression he should assume and finally said, "Get engaged first, and then get married."

"There’s no need for an inconvenience like that. It’s not necessary to get engaged." Edgar replied. He used to think very conventionally before, wanting to wait after Shu Shu graduated before he married Shu Shu. But now, he truly didn’t want to wait anymore, and he wished he could get married right away.

He got Shu Shu to promise with great difficulty. If he didn't hurry up and get married, what’s to be done if Shu Shu reneged on his promise? Some things absolutely couldn't be delayed!

Edgar also knew that he was being a little mean. Shu Shu was very simple, and presently, he might still not realize the significance of getting married. However, as long as he could get Shu Shu, he did not mind being a little mean.

The joy in his eyes eventually changed into determination.

Ian hung up the phone call without the slightest hesitation. He felt that he couldn't continue the conversation anymore. If he continued the conversation, his son might want to discuss about the wedding reception with him.

Edgar’s mood simply could not calm down. After some deliberation, he sent a message to his best friend, Calvin. “Calvin, I’m getting married.”

“!!!” Calvin quickly sent a message back and immediately send a second one. "Edgar, don't you know that my mother came to the capital star to force me to marry? In this crucial moment, you’re actually going to get married. Are you worthy of being my brother?"

"You should’ve looked for a sub-beastman to marry since long ago.” Edgar replied. How good it was to get married, ah. His brain now was filled with the idea of getting married.

Calvin did not return the message.

Edgar originally wanted to find someone else to share his feelings, but then he inadvertently saw a huge stack of documents in front of him . . . .

After quietly circulating his spiritual power a few times to calm himself down, Edgar began to deal with various kinds of works and casually told people to hold the next meeting an hour ahead of schedule.

While Edgar was being busy, Calvin handed his communication device to Myer. After Myer had seen it, his face was ashen.

"Do you feel like dying?" Calvin was watching Myer, all smiles.

Myer threw the communication device on his hand to the floor, turned round, and walked out. He was already in a rage at this moment, but when he came across Calvin’s mother, Jonathan, in the doorway, he still halted his steps. “Uncle Jonathan, good afternoon."

"Myer, would you like to stay and have lunch?" Jonathan turned towards Myer.

"Uncle Jonathan, I have something to do, so I won’t stay and have lunch." Myer smiled and said goodbye.

Looking on as Myer left his line of sight, Jonathan turned his head to face his son who was standing on the stairs. "Still not go and chase after him?"

"He doesn’t have me in his heart." Calvin said.

"If he continues to not have you in his heart, are you going to become a bachelor for a lifetime?" Jonathan asked.

Calvin touched his nose. "Of course not. Edgar’s getting married, and when that moment comes, Myer will give up."

"Do you think he’ll give up?" Jonathan stared at Calvin.

Calvin felt that the expression showing in his mother’s eyes was uncanny, but he didn’t take it seriously. “Mother, don’t worry about my marriage. Let’s think about what wedding gift we should give when Edgar gets married!”

Jonathan gave Calvin a fleeting glare and then sighed. "You, ah . . ."

Shu Shu was completely ignorant about what happened on the outside. At this moment, both he and Synthia already returned to the skill class and continued to attend class.

They had a mind to go learn some other skills, but while it was a great idea, getting it going was not easy to do. Not to mention that they completely didn't know what to learn, Shu Shu’s current identity was also a big problem.

There were many wealthy and respectable people in the Imperial College. After the banquet yesterday, it was estimated that everyone already recognized Shu Shu. If Shu Shu went and audit a class now, then it was not to learn but to be surrounded by people and become a spectacle.

Shu Shu gave up the plan to go and audit other classes and began to self-study just like before.

The things he learned were not systematic enough. Rather than thinking about going and learning college courses now, he had better try to learn elementary and middle school subjects first.

After downloading the elementary school textbooks, Shu Shu was instantly stupid.

He had no problem with cultural subjects since he had a highly retentive memory and could always learn very fast. However . . . what the devil were these science subjects?

He still understood some mathematics, but . . . the difference between the mathematics, physics, and chemistry that people learned on Earth and the subjects here was too big, just as big as the difference between abacus and computer!

If the people who compiled "The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art" in ancient China suddenly came to modern times on Earth and looked at the mathematics textbooks for primary school students, they were most likely unable to understand them. Shu Shu now . . . was of course unable to understand what he was looking at as well.

Shu Shu chose some subjects and asked Synthia.

"These subjects are all very difficult. It’s exactly because I couldn't learn them so I had no other choice but to attend the skill class." Giving a glance at the stuff Shu Shu was viewing, Synthia stated sadly.

Shu Shu had a blank face.

At noon, many beastmen came to the doorway of the skill class just like in the past . . . . No, there were more people coming today than in the past. In addition to beastmen, there were even many sub-beastmen coming!

Shu Shu had misgivings. After reaching Jindan stage, his ears were much more useful, so he listened to some of the discussions.

"Which one is Shu Shu?"

"It’s the one sitting in the left corner."

"It turns out that he’s Shu Shu. He’s really in the skill class, ah . . ."

"Why does the crown prince like a sub-beastman who can only study in the skill class?"

. . . . . .

So many people came just to judge him! Shu Shu was quite indignant. Why did those people look down on him? If he had lived here from childhood, he would’ve received this place’s education from childhood, and maybe he also could’ve passed the entrance exam of the Imperial College justly and honorably!

Lowering his head, Shu Shu continued to study the textbook seriously.

"Shu Shu, everyone outside must be coming to see you, right?" Synthia said.

"Must be." Shu Shu replied depressedly.

The skill class had finished very early. In the past, Shu Shu and Synthia were ignored, but today they both became the golden boys. Everyone came over and surrounded them; the people in the class cordially invited them to go eat while the people outside looked at them curiously.

Most of them did nothing more than taking a look. When they faced Shu Shu, they were somewhat green with envy, but they wouldn’t really do anything. However, there would always be an exception to everything.

Shu Shu once again saw his old acquaintance Julian.

Speaking of Julian and Shu Shu, they had met three times in total, but it couldn’t be said that they were familiar with each other. Still, people Shu Shu had had contact with in the Beastman Empire were really too few, so Julian could also be considered as an acquaintance.

Standing out in a crowd of beastmen and sub-beastmen, Julian looked at Shu Shu with an ugly face. "You have quite a skill, ah!"

Even if Shu Shu didn't understand much about the ways of the world, but at this moment, he could still discern that this was a bad person.

"Pretending to be drunk and then throwing yourself at the crown prince to seduce him . . . . Only you, a shameless sub-beastman, could do this kind of thing." Julian said again.

He was initially scared yesterday, for fear that Shu Shu would come find him and give him trouble, but after he went home later, the more he thought about it, the more he thought that something was wrong.

At that time, Shu Shu himself said that the crown prince did not like him. And people normally wouldn’t mistake their own feelings. In this case, why was the crown prince so apprehensive about him afterwards? It might be that this Shu Shu played some tricks or directly had the empress force the crown prince.

If Shu Shu really made the crown prince so apprehensive . . . . How could no one had ever seen the crown prince picking him up or dropping him off the school even though he had been studying in the skill class for so many days?

How apprehensive the beastmen were toward their own sub-beastmen, they sub-beastmen were the most clear about!

With such a notion, Julian immediately wasn’t that scared and even took the initiative to find Shu Shu.

Many people knew that he had once offended Shu Shu. In the past two days, after the news that the crown prince would probably marry Shu Shu had come out, his life had been extremely difficult. So right now, he desperately hoped everyone believed that the crown prince actually didn't take Shu Shu seriously at all.

"You’re really shameless!" Shu Shu scowled at Julian. "It’s Edgar who liked me first, and I didn't seduce him."

When Julian heard Shu Shu's words, his face changed slightly, and then he said, "How can the crown prince like you, a sub-beastman who can only go to the bridal class?"

"What’s wrong with the bridal class? Why can't he like me?" Shu Shu promptly responded.

Other sub-beastmen of the bridal class were also angry. "Exactly! What’s wrong with our bridal class? We’re at least better than you. We won’t go and steal other people's beastman!"

Criticized by these people, Julian’s expression subtly changed. When his ex-boyfriend had an affair with him, he was indeed Frank's boyfriend, but Frank's family background was too inferior, so after expressing his goodwill, his ex-boyfriend ultimately chose him.

The thing he did was indeed dishonorable, but he also couldn’t let these people talk. "I stole other people’s beastman, so what? Didn't he steal too?"

Julian pointed at Shu Shu and still added, "Myer and the crown prince are a couple made by Heaven and arranged by Earth."

"Who said Edgar and Meyer are a couple? Edgar only likes me, and we’re even getting married!" Shu Shu raised his chin and stated proudly.

Shu Shu so confidently said that he would marry the crown prince. He certainly scared Julian once again and made Edgar, who wanted to be a hero saving the beauty, discover that . . . he seemed to arrive late again.

By using the might of his pressure to smooth the path for him, almost everyone discovered Edgar’s arrival immediately. The beastmen, who were more respectful of their bodies’ reaction, quickly made way for him.

Sub-beastmen had no deep perception of the pressure, but they also didn’t feel particularly better, not to mention Julian.

He definitely had made some inquiries before, and the crown prince had never come to find Shu Shu. Why did the crown prince suddenly come this time?

"What do you want to do with my fiancé?" Edgar looked at Julian coldly.

"No . . ." Julian wanted to turn round and run away, but he simply couldn't move his feet.

"Shu Shu, I come to pick you up for lunch." Edgar no longer paid attention to Julian and extended a hand toward Shu Shu.

Putting his own hand on Edgar's, Shu Shu glanced at Julian smugly and, at the same time, was extremely satisfied with Edgar—Edgar really gave him face!

"I and Shu Shu will soon get married. I hope you can come to our wedding at that time." Edgar, leading Shu Shu away, stated to the students behind Shu Shu.

Although the star network previously said that Edgar and Shu Shu would probably get engaged, but that was merely the media's own speculation. Now though . . . the crown prince himself admitted that they were going to get married?

The students of the bridal class were shocked.

In the past, many nobilities’ wives came from the skill classes. But now, although the students of the skill class all married well, but it had been a long, long time since one of them had married so well!

Everyone gazed at Shu Shu reverently, which actually made Shu Shu break out in goosebumps.

Edgar originally planned to take Shu Shu to eat outside, but then he announced that he was getting married . . . . Edgar brought Shu Shu back to the Imperial palace directly and went to Ian’s place.

"Why did you two suddenly come over?" Ian asked.

"We want to get married." Edgar said, intending to discuss with Ian the specific considerations for getting married.

After Shu Shu had proudly said that they were getting married, he could not wait any longer.

"You can get engaged first . . ."

"It won’t do. Everyone now knows that I’m getting married." Edgar indifferently told about what happened before.

My own son . . . . Did he intend to force a marriage? Ian stared at Edgar for a long moment and finally turned toward Shu Shu and hesitantly asked, "Shu Shu, are you willing to not have a child?"

Suddenly talking about marriage, Shu Shu actually felt a little uneasy. Now that he was asked about this by Ian, he felt very guilty.

He still nodded though. "I’m willing to not have a child!"

"You go and get married then. Choose a good day." Ian said.

"I think ten days later is a good day." Edgar said. It was a day with a beautiful history, and many people celebrated it as Valentine's Day.

"In your dreams! Such a short time isn’t enough to prepare for a wedding!" Ian retorted.

Hearing those words, Edgar was rather disappointed, but he immediately said again, "Then we go and get the certificate on that day. We’ll hold the wedding reception later."

"It's good enough." Ian gave Edgar a quick glare.

The development was so fast, and he, unexpectedly, was really getting married . . . . Shu Shu was slightly lost, but after taking a look at Edgar, he felt that this was actually great.

Once Edgar married him, they could be together forever . . . .

Thinking of this, Shu Shu inexplicably wanted to laugh.

An announcement was issued only two days after the Imperial family held a banquet, saying that the crown prince and Shu Shu were already engaged and about to get married, which confirmed the previous news straightway.

After the news came out yesterday, there was a small group of people who got some news from other places, saying that Edgar actually didn’t care about Shu Shu at all . . . . These people had arranged a press release and were just going to send it out. They didn’t expect to suddenly see an announcement from the Imperial family.

Already engaged? Were going to get married?

They hadn’t even investigated what Shu Shu did in the past, and now he was actually going to get married?

For a time, the star network was blown up.

Many more people were broken-hearted, and many more people were envious of Shu Shu.

And right now, Shu Shu, whom people believed should have been billing and cooing with the crown prince, was in fact learning the etiquette in the virtual cabin.

He was getting married, ah! And he currently still hadn't mastered the action of eating! He had to work harder and learn more quickly!

Shu Shu had decided not to go to school for the time being and began to skip his sleep and meals to study.

Shu Shu continued to practice tirelessly, over and over again.

This time, Edgar did not wait until dawn to go and open the virtual cabin.

The actual owner of this virtual cabin was him, and the operation he gave Shu Shu was in juvenile mode. Even if Shu Shu locked himself in, he could still open it . . . .

Edgar opened the virtual cabin once it was midnight, and then he scooped up the little hamster inside and put him on his chest.

The tiny hamster leaned against his chest and then rubbed against it, sleeping soundly. Edgar smiled and bring him to his bedroom.

As long as they could sleep in the same bed, he didn't mind sleeping with a hamster.

When Shu Shu woke up in the early morning, he found himself covered by a piece of cloth, and under his body . . . .

It was Edgar’s scent and Edgar’s flesh, and he could also hear Edgar’s heartbeat. And the little thing on the side that his paw happened to cover should be Edgar's nipple.

Shu Shu subconsciously fondled that little thing with his paw.

"Are you molesting me?" Edgar's voice suddenly came out, along with a whiff of indescribable scent.

It’s obviously you who molested me! Putting all of me on your body! Shu Shu was a little disgruntled, so not only did he not move his paw away, he even pressed his paw down.

And then he found a big hand reaching out to him . . . .

Shu Shu immediately turned round and ran away. He ran along Edgar's belly toward the groin area, and then . . . he suddenly bumped into a pillar.

Okay, where did the pillar come from? Shu Shu touched the scorching hot pillar and instantly heard a moan.

Shu Shu: ". . ." He knew what this thing was! Edgar, this beast!

Shu Shu almost spontaneously changed into a human and then discovered that the situation was even more wrong.

Edgar was wearing pajamas, and he originally stayed inside Edgar's pajamas. After he changed into a human, he was naturally inside the pajamas too . . . .

The two men were bound closely by the pajamas they were practically one air-tight bundle. Shu Shu’s face was right in Edgar’s important place, and his legs went past Edgar's neck, just next to Edgar's cheeks.

This position . . . Edgar watched the view in front of him, and the man who previously had been able to say a few teasing words could not come up with any word this time.

It was really too arousing!

The previous reaction was a natural reaction when he just woke up, but now . . . that pillar was getting bigger.

Shu Shu changed into a hamster again without the slightest hesitation.

Shu Shu felt he could not see people anymore. What happened this morning was really too embarrassing!

He used to think that he and Edgar were both beastmen and wouldn’t be together, so he didn't care at all about being naked in front of Edgar. But now . . . Edgar was clearly interested in him!

And he . . . was also interested in Edgar. After he turned back into a hamster, he found himself having a reaction too.

Under such circumstances, the two of them actually . . . .

Shu Shu bit a hole in the quilt and got into the batting, not planning to come out.

Edgar originally thought that Shu Shu was hiding under the quilt, yet when he lifted the quilt up, he did not find the man . . . no, the hamster. He finally sniffed carefully, only to discover that the little guy was hiding inside the quilt.

Catching the little guy who was pretending to be dead inside the quilt, Edgar put him near his collarbone, letting him stay inside his clothes, and then patted him lightly. "Now that everyone outside is talking about you, it’s no longer suitable for you to go to school. So I’ll take you to go to work with me at the military department."

Going to work with his beloved sub-beastman. This was absolutely one of the happiest things in the world . . . and certainly an impossible thing for the average person.

Edgar sat in the aircraft and stroke the little hamster on his chest as he rushed to the military department at lightning speed.
