The Disciple I Picked Up by the Roadside Is a Big Shot

Gentle and considerate male lead VS bold and sunny female lead

A sweet little short story

***Seeking advance readers for the interstellar romance Become an Omega and Finally Focus on My Career. Preview:

Top student Xie Shuang had been single for 30 years, until her mother pulled strings behind the scenes and got her into a relationship. Her progress bar toward becoming a married woman shot forward at breakneck speed. Then, on the eve of the wedding, her fiance threw down the invitation: "Can't you spend even a little time with me?!"

After transmigrating into an Omega, Xie Shuang froze:

The country assigns you a partner during heat, and resolves the problem once every season?

Amazing!

I can finally focus on my career!

Where's my partner? Let's get this done right away!

Shen Xi, her assigned partner: ...

Later, epoch-making inventions such as power armor and liquid-phase metal came into the world one after another.

Shen Xi: Honey, there's a bit of a problem here. Could you fix it?

A flash of silver came flying at him. He caught it and took a look:

Xie Shuang: High-concentration heat-relief spray, a new product. It just hit the market and it's already sold out. No need to thank me.

Shen Xi flipped the table in anger. What do you take me for?

Xie Shuang tilted her head, thinking. Hmm... one of those rods?

Shen Xi: This is absolutely intolerable!

Xie Shuang: A patent for super-effective metal repair and reinforcement spray. Made for mecha, it restores them to full strength in one second. Want some?

Shen Xi, Marshal of the Mecha Legion: ...I'm leaving right now. (gritting his teeth)

Omega women must be strong!
