Villain Alpha is Pregnant

— Explain what?

 

Did he really have such unwavering loyalty to that treacherous and cunning place called the Federation?!

 

Indeed, Si Huaixi was born in the Empire, on the remote garbage planet situated precisely at the border between the Empire and the Federation. It was a chaotic place, a melting pot of all sorts. Perhaps he was lured and deceived by the Federation before becoming a spy.

 

As for Si Huaixi not being a spy, Pei Zhaozhou never even considered that possibility. So what if he was a spy? Pei Zhaozhou had been targeted for assassination by both the Empire and the Federation. He had even successfully turned some enemy spies against their own side.

 

But he never expected that the deepest wound would come from those lofty people in the Empire. Now completely disillusioned, he no longer cared about Si Huaixi’s allegiances as a spy!

 

Even if he used petty means to keep Si Huaixi by his side, whether it was for the sake of their unborn child or for the last bit of recklessness in this miserable and dull life, Pei Zhaozhou, who had nothing left except money, was unburdened by family ties.

 

Even if Si Huaixi’s method of treating his pheromone disorder might have any lingering effects, Pei Zhaozhou was determined to persist. But there was a place in Pei Zhaozhou’s heart that always remained anxious and uneasy.

 

What if he died? Would the child in his womb become an orphan?

 

The mere thought of this possibility shattered Pei Zhaozhou’s usually cold and resolute heart. He knew firsthand the sorrow of being an uncared-for orphan.

 

And Si Huaixi must know it too. As fellow orphans, he surely understood the pain.

 

Pei Zhaozhou had a strong intuition that Si Huaixi wouldn’t be the kind of person to abandon his own flesh and blood. In the hospital, he clearly saw Si Huaixi’s genuine anger towards the severely injured pregnant woman whom he had never met before. He was angry at the woman for risking her own life, angry at the unborn child for bearing the fate of an orphan, and angry at himself!

 

When Pei Zhaozhou heard Si Huaixi actively disagreeing with the idea of the pregnant woman giving birth against all odds, he felt conflicted. He was determined to keep the child, but for now, he couldn’t tell Si Huaixi.

 

Pei Zhaozhou also had his own foolish selfishness. When the pregnancy progressed further, terminating it would also become life-threatening. At that time, Si Huaixi wouldn’t be able to oppose it, no matter how much he disagreed.

 

But unexpectedly, he eventually discovered Si Huaixi’s true identity as a spy. Pei Zhaozhou had to continue concealing the pregnancy from him. He worried that if the secret wasn’t kept until the child was born, Si Huaixi’s spy status would always pose a threat. However, once the child was born, even if anything happened to him in the future, he could entrust the child to Si Huaixi.

 

This was a plan that Pei Zhaozhou had pondered for a long time. However, in his plan, he hoped most of all that Si Huaixi would still be the father of the child, as an imperial citizen.

 

Similarly, Si Huaixi didn’t want to see the day when he would become Brother Pei’s enemy. He didn’t want to leave this peaceful life behind. Being Brother Pei’s canary was enough for him. When the time comes and he finds the birth parents of the original body’s owner, if he no longer had any interest in the entertainment industry, he decided to leave that circle and become Brother Pei’s own canary.

 

— I’m sorry, Brother Pei, I can only blur your memories, so you won’t be wary of me anymore.

 

Si Huaixi’s eyes were like a sea engulfed in mist, concealing guilt and reluctance.

 

Pei Zhaozhou had a plan in mind too and quickly spoke up, “Si Huaixi, have you ever considered betraying the Federation and joining the Empire? I can assure you greater glory and rewards from the Empire than the Federation. I will provide you with a legitimate identity, free from concerns about the Federation and the Empire, and no longer tied to your spy persona.”

 

“Marry me, become my legal spouse, and I will give you everything!”

 

Pei Zhaozhou’s golden-hued eyes were unwaveringly focused, his tone resolute. He pursed his thin lips, seemingly a bit nervous and embarrassed.

 

Marriage?!!!

 

Si Huaixi’s eyes widened, his sapphire-blue gaze filled with confusion and astonishment, freezing in the midst of his actions. He had initially intended to blur Pei Zhaozhou’s memories using his psychic abilities.

 

Well, there was no need for that now. Si Huaixi wondered if it was his own brain that malfunctioned. Otherwise, why did he feel like the one with blurred memories?

 

He must be dreaming!

 

How could Brother Pei say such words about marriage? And the target was him!!!

 

Was this considered a proposal? It was something he had never encountered, even in his past lives. He never expected it to come true in a dream. Ha…

 

Si Huaixi’s expression stiffened, his eyes dazed with astonishment. He involuntarily gasped for air and then pinched his thigh forcefully.

 

Hiss…

 

It truly hurt!

 

Si Huaixi had pinched too hard, and his handsome face twisted for a moment. It was undeniably painful.

 

His expression quickly turned solemn and serious. Si Huaixi fixed his gaze, suppressing the tumultuous thoughts in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, “Brother Pei, why… did you suddenly have such thoughts?”

 

Pei Zhaozhou lowered his gaze and pressed his lips together. “Don’t you want to?,” he asked.

 

Si Huaixi felt a sense of panic. “Ah, I mean… Isn’t this too rushed? Don’t you still think I’m a spy? Aren’t you afraid that I might hurt you?”

 

Pei Zhaozhou’s tone was calm and resolute as he looked at the shaken Si Huaixi. “Marry me, become my legitimate partner, truly become an imperial citizen! Break free from the Federation. I will give you everything you desire. Even if you want to complete this mission first, I will provide you with what you want. As long as you stay in the Empire and become my husband!”

 

What mission? What husband?!

 

Si Huaixi couldn’t comprehend the direction this was taking. Were people in the interstellar era so bold and quick-witted? They had only met for a short time, just a little over a month, not even two months! This could be considered a flash marriage!

 

Furthermore, no matter how he explained it, Pei Zhaozhou still regarded him as a spy. Fine, he admitted that he arrogantly revealed abilities that an E-level Beta shouldn’t possess. Ever since he entered this body, his mental power had been tempered to a state nearly identical to his previous life during the apocalypse, reaching a level where he could confront zombies and zombie beasts head-on. Although Pei Zhaozhou was an S-level Alpha, he couldn’t match him in terms of strength. No wonder Pei Zhaozhou would suspect that he was a spy from some other country or federation.

 

If he were in Pei Zhaozhou’s shoes, he would also harbor doubts. Who could have expected that he had transmigrated into a novel from the era of supernatural abilities in the apocalypse?

 

So here’s the question: What was Brother Pei really thinking? If he firmly believed that he was a spy, why did he still want to marry him??

 

Wasn’t he afraid that his spouse could be a spy from an enemy nation and would seize the opportunity to harm him?

 

Si Huaixi racked his brain but couldn’t make sense of it. What was Brother Pei planning?

 

Could it be that people in novels all had their minds clouded by love? Si Huaixi recalled that mind-boggling novel, ‘Interstellar Heartthrob.’ Regardless of how influential, handsome, and high-ranking the attacking protagonists were, once they encountered the main character, they became utterly infatuated and hesitated at nothing to please the main character.

 

So…

 

Had Brother Pei also been influenced by that novel and become love-struck?

 

Just when he wanted to experience a passionate and tumultuous love affair with Brother Pei, surpassing the scripts of domineering CEOs and Beta canaries, is Brother Pei determined to switch roles to falling in love with ‘enemy country’s fake spy,’ and propose marriage?

 

Si Huaixi’s heart was in turmoil, his face flushed, and his heart raced. How could he possibly reject Brother Pei, who had just passionately proposed to him?

 

Let alone hazy memories, he now only wished to blur away his memory of Pei Zhaozhou’s marriage proposal!

 

Si Huaixi half-covered his face and refused Pei Zhaozhou’s intense gaze, saying, “I’m sorry, Brother Pei, but I just can’t understand why you would do this. Marriage is a lifelong commitment between two people, and you don’t need to be so impulsive.”

 

Pei Zhaozhou couldn’t help but furrow his brows, a tinge of disappointment flickering in his amber-gold eyes. With a solemn and pleading tone that melted hearts, he said, “I’ve carefully considered this decision. You would make an excellent legal partner. If you think I’m joking, I can go buy a ring now and we can register at the Imperial Civil Affairs Bureau.”

 

Pei Zhaozhou had considered the possibility of becoming partners with Si Huaixi disregarding the bigger picture, but Si Huaixi’s rejection only strengthened his resolve. If Si Huaixi was willing to marry him, even at the cost of his mission, Pei Zhaozhou might still believe that Si Huaixi was a man of all means.

 

Brother Pei’s relentless approach made Si Huaixi flustered, his invisible mental strength as agitated as his master, swaying like sea grass. Cautiously and tentatively, he approached Brother Pei…

 

“Brother Pei, you’re lying, aren’t you?”

 

“Just tell me quickly, you’re lying.”

 

Si Huaixi no longer wished to blur Pei Zhaozhou’s memories. He simply wanted to know if Pei Zhaozhou’s words to him were sincere. If the marriage was a pretense to capture him, this ‘fake spy,’ then Pei Zhaozhou’s true intentions would truly be unfathomable…

 

Si Huaixi’s pupils trembled slightly as he suppressed the turbulent emotions on his face. His deep sea-blue eyes were like treacherous whirlpools lurking in the dark, ready to engulf lost sailors and bury them beneath the sea.

 

The magnetic and resonant voice lingered in his ears, as if whispering secrets, uncovering the deepest answers within the depths of one’s heart. It poured out without reservation, like a devout apostle confiding, confessing, and dedicating everything to the greatest divine presence, laying bare his true self before the deity’s eyes.

 

Si Huaixi’s dark eyes seemed to penetrate one’s soul as he asked Pei Zhaozhou, “Do you truly want to marry me?”

 

Pei Zhaozhou suddenly felt a momentary daze in his mind, and he answered without hesitation, revealing his innermost thoughts, “Yes.”

 

Si Huaixi’s expression turned serious, “Do you like me?”

 

Pei Zhaozhou frowned in confusion. He had never contemplated the question of liking. Being naturally together with Si Huaixi was enjoyable, a sense of relaxation he had never experienced before. Si Huaixi was a special presence in his life. But when it comes to truly liking someone…

 

He had never been as intimately involved with anyone else as he was with Si Huaixi. He couldn’t discern the extent of liking. Therefore, he could only speak with earnestness and candor.

 

“I don’t know if I like you, but I only want you…”

 

Si Huaixi’s face gradually flushed, his mind suddenly crashing, and his legs moved on their own accord as he hastily fled!

 

He burst out of the house, his heart pounding incessantly. Si Huaixi covered his flushed and burning face, squatting on the street in embarrassment, cooling himself with the cold wind, which instead made him break out in a sweat. His mind felt like mush.

 

He didn’t dare to go back home.

 

Because Brother Pei was waiting for him upstairs in his house.

 

“Oh no, it’s true.”
