Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]

Igor was standing a few steps away from Ge Xiu.   

    His eyes drooped down slightly, he pursed his lips, and said slowly:

    “I heard that you were injured.”

    Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows in surprise: “You are quite well informed.”

    After all, it’s been only less than an hour, the Dean and the others had only just left.

    Igor’s eyes flashed slightly, and he coughed a little unnaturally:

    “…I just happened to be around here.”

    This was not true.

    Igor was conducting mecha combat drills at the other end of the academy when his friend told him in a half-joking, half-surprised tone, and the moment he heard the news, his mind suddenly became confused, he found a reason to leave the training ground, and then rushed to the infirmary as fast as possible—but upon reaching the door, he stopped his steps abruptly.

    In what capacity was he going to visit?

    A friend?

    However, even before Iris’s accident, they were extremely far from being friends. In fact, in the face of Iris’ pursuit, Igor’s attitude has always been indifference and dissatisfaction. Even if the Drost family and the Lester family were on good terms, they definitely weren’t close with each other.

    A fiancé?

    That was even more unbelievable.

    Leaving aside the fact that this engagement was annulled as early as when Iris was rescued, and even in the years before it was annulled, Igor was the only one who strongly opposed the marriage—and, it seemed like Iris had a new marriage agreement set up shortly after contacting the Lester family about breaking it off. No matter how he questioned, General Lester kept silent about the unknown alpha.

    In a recent conversation, General Lester’s attitude was even more straightforward:

    “Why are you asking this? Didn’t you want to get rid of this engagement for a long time?”

    Igor was at a loss for words.

    Yes.

    Didn’t he want to get rid of this engagement for a long time? And why was he still entangled over this after the marriage contract has been cancelled?

    Igor couldn’t sort out his thoughts for a moment.

    The scene he saw when visiting Iris in the ward that day kept circling in his mind—the pale-faced boy swept back his slightly longer black hair from covering his eyes to his head, and his eyes were like a pitch-black sea, calm and dark, as deep as if they could suck people inside, the corners of his lips twitched as he asked in a hoarse voice:

    “Are there candy in it?”

    —Except for being thinner, his facial features were the same as before.

    And when the broken, blurred and intermittent video records appeared even after restoration, the blood-stained, cold, calm face, the fact he even without anaesthesia, removed his glands by his own hands without any emotional changes at all.

    So striking… he couldn’t take his eyes off it.

    Igor looked at the boy standing in front of him with complicated feelings.

    Compared with the last time we met, he seemed to have changed even more —those eyes that were filled with infatuation and love whenever they looked at him became distant and unfamiliar at the moment, with a kind of indifference and politeness that drew an invisible line between the two, drawing clear distinctions that cannot be crossed.
