After Becoming the Alpha Protagonist, I Snatched the Cannon Fodder Omega

T/N: Thank you UsageK for the ko-fis that let us wrap up the QZY/Mumu extras this week. Because chapter 99 is 3x longer, the final chapter for AAPCFO will be posted next week.

 

After the school league ended, it didn’t take long for the Federation to approve the e-sports competition application. E-sports finally entered the interstellar stage and became a formal profession.

After winning the school league championship, Qiu Zhenyang, who publicly proposed to Ling Mu, became famous all of a sudden.

The Qiu family, who has always been very low-key, also announced the good news on various social platforms, saying they’re already discussing the engagement banquet. All entertainment facilities under the First Consortium also celebrated the occasion with discounts on various products and services.

But after that, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu disappeared from the view of netizens. After all, final exams are coming up. They don’t have time for games, and even Ling Mu’s livestream was suspended, in order to review for the upcoming exams.

After the final exam, while relaxing, Qiu Zhenyang put discussing the wedding with Ling Mu on the table.

Right now, the two of them are preparing their luggage to move back for the holidays. Uncle Zhang will come to pick them up in the afternoon.

“Or a ceremony in mid-February? There’s still about a month, and should be time.” Qiu Zhenyang folded the clothes piled up on the bed and handed them to Ling Mu who was squatting on the other side of the suitcase, rubbing his chin with one hand and thinking.

Ling Mu shook out his messy folded clothes, folded them upright again, and put them neatly into the suitcase. He lowered his eyes and said, “The middle of February, will it be cold?”

“It’s okay, it won’t be cold,” Qiu Zhenyang snorted proudly. “When the time comes, turn on the heating. I don’t care about others, anyway, and will make sure you won’t freeze.”

The corner of Ling Mu’s mouth hooked slightly, he pressed the clothes in the box firmly. He wanted to stand up with his hands on his knees, but who knew, suddenly, he suddenly felt sick to his stomach. Covering his mouth with one hand, he retched.

“Ugh—”

The sound startled Qiu Zhenyang, who quickly got up and jumped over to support him. Helping Ling Mu to the bathroom, he asked while walking, “What’s the matter, why do you suddenly feel sick?”

Ling Mu shook his head and said he didn’t know. They had finished lunch, and just came up to pack. A food problem is impossible. How can Qiu Zhenyang cook without being picky? As if things can be made with bad ingredients.

After entering the bathroom, Ling Mu supported the sink with one hand, poured water into the cup and rinsed his mouth.

Qiu Zhenyang stood beside him, and said worriedly: “Spit it out? Is it better? If you feel uncomfortable, let’s go to the hospital later.”

Ling Mu shook his head. He wasn’t that weak – it was just a sudden burst of nausea, maybe due to a sudden movement or something. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, walked out when he felt better, and refused. “No, I don’t feel uncomfortable…”

Just after he finished saying the word “uncomfortable”, Ling Mu heaved again.

This time the reaction was stronger than before, and his face turned red from vomiting, but still nothing came out.

This frightened Qiu Zhenyang. He immediately picked him up by the waist and carried him directly to the bed to lie down.

“I’m really fine, I’m just a little sick. I’m not uncomfortable.” Ling Mu was a little dissatisfied with the fact that Qiu Zhenyang could easily hug him. Frowning slightly, his cheeks were puffed up, looking very cute.

Qiu Zhenyang couldn’t help smiling, and pinched his cheek. “Since you’re not uncomfortable, then the vomiting is a sign of pregnancy?”

He was joking, but when he looked up and met Ling Mu’s suddenly serious expression, the smile on the corner of Qiu Zhenyang’s mouth froze.

His little heart started beating wildly, and he shook his lips and said, “No, it can’t? Could it really be…”

Ling Mu suddenly pursed his lips, pressed Qiu Zhenyang’s mouth with a blushing face, gritted his teeth and said, “What are you going on about? Who said that nausea and wanting to vomit without other signs of discomfort is a sign of… that?  There must be other reasons.”

But even though he denied it, his obviously flustered expression revealed his inner thoughts. Apparently, even Ling Mu felt that this guess might be right.

Qiu Zhenyang thought about it for a while. The two of them really didn’t pay attention, and didn’t take any measures that first time.

The main reason is that the two of them knew little about these things. Ling Mu’s mother had never guided him, so naturally he knew nothing about it. As for Qiu Zhenyang, even though he already integrated into this world, some things were still based on his memories of his past world – the idea of two men having children is foreign to him.

As a result, these two didn’t know anything and didn’t take any precautions.

Qiu Zhenyang’s emotions were unable to be described. A little remorse. And a vague expectation that Ling Mu might really be pregnant.

Taking a deep breath to relieve the tension and excitement in his heart, he touched his nose and said to Ling Mu: “Later, when we go back, why don’t we ask Uncle Zhang to take us to the hospital for a checkup? No matter if you’re pregnant or not, we can have them check why you’re uncomfortable, okay?”

Ling Mu knew that he was showing his care, so he relaxed a little. It’s not that he is against the matter of pregnancy, but having it happen so sudden made him nervous. After thinking for a while, he nodded in response, then lowered his head and remained silent.

After that, they both cleaned up quietly, without saying a word to each other. All their thoughts were on Ling Mu’s stomach.

When Uncle Zhang received the two young masters at the school gate, he saw that they were both a little out of it.

Uncle Zhang was a little confused: “Young master, you are…”

Only then did Qiu Zhenyang come back to his senses. “Ah, it’s fine. Um, Uncle Zhang, can you take us to the hospital first? Ling Mu is not feeling well, so I want to take him there.”

“You’re not feeling well?” Uncle Zhang became anxious, and said anxiously, “Where? I’ll contact Madam’s hospital right away and let the doctors get ready!”

With such a serious look, those who didn’t know would think someone was sick!

Qiu Zhenyang was torn between laughter and tears. “Don’t bother, we can just go to the nearest hospital.”

In the end, Uncle Zhang refused to say anything, and even said to them with a serious face: “Even if it is a minor illness, it must be taken seriously. Young Master, Master Ling Mu is your most treasured person, and there must be no negligence!” 

Qiu Zhenyang was helpless against Uncle Zhang’s urging. They were sent to the family hospital in the end.

This hospital is run by Zhu Qin’s natal family. The doctors are all extremely skilled. And with the backing of the Zhu family, a family of pharmacists, they are given priority to all kinds of medicines.

After the examination, the final result was that Ling Mu was indeed pregnant!

When he came out of the hospital, Qiu Zhenyang had a giant goofy grin. Ling Mu was led away by him in a daze. And Uncle Zhang was excited!

Almost immediately, he called Zhu Qin to let her know the good news!

On the way back, the smile on the corners of Qiu Zhenyang’s mouth never faded, and even once gave Ling Mu the illusion that he was about to cry tears of joy.

Suppressing his complicated emotions, Ling Mu rubbed his neck. After all, he was still unprepared for the news and is still coming to terms with it. Seeing Qiu Zhenyang’s stupid appearance, he couldn’t help asking: “Are you so happy?”

Qiu Zhenyang controlled the grin that was about to spread from ear to ear, and replied: “Of course! You are pregnant with my child, how could I be unhappy?”

He even stretched out his hand like an idiot, put it gently on Ling Mu’s stomach, and said intoxicatedly, “The baby seems to be kicking me~ Do you feel it?”

Ling Mu glanced speechlessly at his foolish expression. “What’s going on in your head? I don’t feel anything at all, you’re just hallucinating.”

Qiu Zhenyang clicked his tongue twice, with a mysterious expression on his face. “You don’t know this, do you? This is the unique connection between me as a father and my child. If you can’t feel it, it must be because your connection with the child is not close. In this way, the child still likes me more~”

Qiu Zhenyang’s excitement almost reached the moon with news of the pregnancy.

Ling Mu gave him a blank look, not wanting to talk to this fool.

Speaking of pregnancy, there is another thing to be concerned about. That is, the child in Ling Mu’s stomach is actually almost three months old. All in all, they almost won the lottery on their first night.

Because an omegas constitution is special, male omegas pregnancy reaction is different from female omegas, which is why Ling Mu didn’t have any morning sickness until the third month of pregnancy.

This was quite a shock to Ling Mu, but Qiu Zhenyang was obviously calmer than him.

The main reason was that, after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that in the original book, Ling Mu and the original body won the lottery their first time.1this should’ve been when Ling Mu’s inhibitor failed during the Interstellar Academy assessment; re: when QZY transmigrated throughTherefore, it’s not surprising that Ling Mu won the lottery during those crazy days they didn’t use any protective measures.

When they got home, Zhu Qin acted as if she was Ling Mu’s bodyguard, never straying more than 10 steps away since Ling Mu got off the aircraft.

She checked on him almost non-stop, and at the same time, in the kitchen, she was also arranging the kitchen to prepare some nourishing foods suitable for pregnancy.

Because Ling Mu’s mouth was already trained by Qiu Zhenyang, so for Ling Mu’s sake, Qiu Zhenyang made the recipe himself and asked the chef to cook for Ling Mu according to the recipe.

Fortunately, he had a friend who had a pregnant wife before, so he studied recipes for pregnant women for a while. There are also some relevant recipes in the interstellar, so after studying it himself, he made some adjustments and cooked it himself. After all, his morning sickness came late and abruptly, so Qiu Zhenyang was still very concerned.

In addition to food, Zhu Qin also asked the servants to immediately purchase some things that pregnant parents need. Whether it is daily necessities or food and clothing, they must be strictly prepared for Ling Mu.

Hearing Zhu Qin giving the housekeeper instructions one by one, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu sat on the sofa, listening with a confused expression. The two of them were a little confused by Zhu Qin’s slew of actions.

“Mom, you don’t need to be so nervous?”

It’s not that Qiu Zhenyang didn’t want Ling Mu to receive better treatment, but Zhu Qin’s actions made him even more nervous. In particular, he’s worried about Ling Mu. After all, Ling Mu is a man, will it be painful for him to have children? Where is the child going to come from? Will it cause him bodily harm?

Thinking of this, Qiu Zhenyang’s face turned pale.

Probably amused by Qiu Zhenyang’s sudden change of expression, Zhu Qin burst out laughing: “Don’t be nervous, I’m just making thorough preparations. After all, I’ve given birth to children, so I understand what’s needed. This way, you two can avoid the hassle of buying things later.”

Ling Mu was also a little nervous at them fussing around, and kept his hands on his abdomen.

His stomach isn’t showing yet, but the original thin, firm lines of his abdomen have softened a lot.

“Okay, okay, stop loitering around, and bring Ling Mu to the room to rest. I’ll call you when it’s dinnertime.” Zhu Qin drove them away. She still has other things to prepare, and all Qiu Zhenyang knows is how to bother her.

So, the expectant father was driven back to the bedroom.
