Chapter 113
That was inevitable; just think about how much he had done.
This could be considered a good result of exchanging sincerity for sincerity. At least he wouldn’t turn “blackened” (evil), nor would he become like the “blackened version” of Wen Jiafei he saw in the Survival Warāmuddled and only knowing how to kill.
Shen Shuyu nodded. “Yes, we are good friends.”
Shen Xili just smiled and didn’t speak.
By the end of their rehearsal, Chi Yanxun still hadn’t appeared. Feng Xing sent messages to Chi Yanxun, but no one replied.
Feng Xing looked at Shen Xili and asked, “You two usually attend classes together. Do you know where he went?”
Shen Xili spread his hands and shrugged. “Not close.”
Feng Xing expressed disbelief. Shen Xili said, “Really not close.”
Aside from necessary communication within the team, he and Chi Yanxun had no interactions. Plus, after Chi Yanxun met his destined Omega, their interactions became even fewer.
The guy was busy being in love.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiliās gaze unconsciously fell on Shen Shuyu, who was looking down, bored, checking if his jacket buttons were fastened properly.
He withdrew his gaze and said, “Maybe he has an emergency. I’ll ask him when I see him later.”
“Alright.” Feng Xing sighed. “Thanks for the trouble.”
Seeing they finished chatting, Shen Shuyu yawned. “Done? If we’re done, I’m going back.”
Shen Xiliās direction was different from theirs. After saying goodbye, Feng Xing received a call telling him to go fill out a form. Feng Xing hung up and left too. For a moment, only Wen Jiafei and Shen Shuyu remained.
Shen Shuyu hadn’t forgotten the question he didn’t finish asking earlier. He glanced at Wen Jiafei and asked as they walked, ” didn’t ask in detail just now. Do you have something to do this weekend?”
Now that no one else was around, Wen Jiafei relaxed a bit. He explained, “Going to sign the lease for a new apartment.”
Shen Shuyu blinked. “You’re moving?”
The expression on Wen Jiafei’s face softened. He nodded. “Mn. Agreed to sign Saturday afternoon and move Sunday.”
He paused. “My mother can be discharged as early as next week.”
Wen Yueās body had been recovering slowly. Staying in a regular ward cost much less. Wen Jiafei hadn’t used up the prize money from the Survival War, plus the school’s reward and the odd money he earned from part-time jobsācalculating it all, he was actually quite well-off.
When he visited two days ago, the doctor said she could be discharged soon. He went again yesterday, and the doctor said one more week of observation, then she could be discharged. But after discharge, she would need to rest well.
The place they currently lived in wasn’t suitable for a patient to rest; it was noisy day and night. Wen Jiafei decided to just change houses.
“Really?” Shen Shuyuās brows relaxed. “That’s great!”
Wen Jiafei also had a smile. “Mn.”
Shen Shuyu said, “Then if you don’t go to your part-time job, won’t the boss scold you?”
“No.” Wen Jiafei shook his head. “He needs me and Shen Xili to attract customers now.”
Once he said that, Shen Shuyu understood. Both of them were top-tier lookers; the boss would have to be missing a brain to lose two such good signboards.
Shen Shuyu asked again, “Then when do you move? Wait for Auntie to come back before moving, or move right after signing?”
“Move right after signing.” Wen Jiafei pursed his lips. “I’ve seen the house. It’s not far from the school.”
“That’s pretty good.” Shen Shuyu always felt Wen Jiafeiās home was too far. Seeing him getting better and better, he was genuinely happy. “How about this: I’ll go with you to sign on Saturday and help you move on Sunday. How about it?”
Wen Jiafei looked at him and said slowly, “No need.”
Shen Shuyu raised a hand and draped it over his shoulder. “No need to be polite. We are friends; it’s what friends should do. Besides, I haven’t had much to do recently. My brother still hasn’t come back.”
Wen Jiafei thought for a moment. “Okay. Thank you.”
Shen Shuyu patted his shoulder twice. “You’re welcome.”
Saturday was a rare sunny day.
Shen Shuyu stood by the window basking in the sun for a while, humming a song as he dug out a slightly thinner outfit from the closet. After putting it on, he took his keys and went out. He hadn’t forgotten that today was the day Wen Jiafei signed for the new house.
Wen Jiafei said the new house wasn’t far from where he lived, so Shen Shuyu suggested they grab a meal together before going.
He casually found an affordable restaurant, sent the location to Wen Jiafei, and found a seat. He had intended to order directly so they could eat as soon as Wen Jiafei arrived, but after thinking about it, he put down the menu, deciding to wait for Wen Jiafei to order together.
It wasn’t a workday today, and the weather was nice, so there were more pedestrians on the road. Shen Shuyu sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, half-squinting at the outside. The sunlight fell on him, warm and very comfortable.
He watched the passersby for a while, yawned, leaned back in his chair, and took out his terminal to scroll through it. But after scrolling through a circle of social platforms, there wasn’t anything interesting.
Suddenly, an address flashed through his mind. He decided to open the school’s forum website.
Sure enough, it was much more interesting than those outside social platforms. Even on a Sunday, there were quite a few hot posts floating around, all featuring names of acquaintances.
Shen Shuyu clicked on a post with Wen Jiafeiās name. Inside, he found someone had secretly taken a photo of Wen Jiafei during his lunch break. He was lying on the desk, revealing only his side profile, his posture relaxed, with sunlight falling on his thin back.
It was rare to see such a relaxed Wen Jiafei.
Driven by some strange impulse, Shen Shuyu saved the photo. Scrolling down, he saw comments lamenting how handsome he was, but no new photos.
Shen Shuyu opened his messaging app and sent the photo he just saved to Wen Jiafei, leaving a message: [This one looks pretty good.]
After sending it, he went back to the forum and refreshed it. A new post popped up.
[Shocking Big Melon about the Reserve Army Captain and his Art Department Omega! This post will be deleted in ten minutes! Hurry hurry hurry]
Shocking Big Melon!
Now this was exciting. Shen Shuyu clicked on the post. The poster had excellent habits; the gossip was revealed right in the first comment.
[1L: I heard this melon too, no guarantee it’s true haha. Heard the Reserve Army Captain and his Omega did another compatibility test, and the result showed 40%. Everyone knows 40% AO aren’t suitable to be together unless they really, really like each other. But looking at the Reserve Army Captain… dying of laughter, those who understand, understand.]
[2L: Damn, if this melon is true, then it’s huge. I heard before they were going to get engaged before the New Year. Probably won’t happen now.]
[3L: Wasn’t it 90%? Seem to have never heard of AO compatibility rates changing? Any experts here to explain?]
[…]
[32L: Explanation here. AO compatibility rates can fluctuate, but not from ninety to forty. At most ninety to a hundred or ninety to seventy. A ten percent fluctuation is already huge; it won’t exceed that.]
Shen Shuyu didn’t quite understand this. He frowned. If this was true, how could Su Mu and Chi Yanxunās compatibility drop so drastically? It felt like… they had switched pheromones for the match.
He continued scrolling down. There were quite a few people eating this melon at this hour.
[57L: Wow, could it be one of them lied? After all, a 90% compatibility rate is really rare. Usually, over eighty is already super amazing.]
[61L: Bro 57 is right, must be a lie. But Second Bro heard they were getting engaged? I think it definitely won’t happen now. Su’s health is weak. With 40% compatibility, if he marries Chi… emmm I estimate he won’t last a few days. A top-tier Alpha’s rut is quite terrifying.]
[62L: Agree with Bro 61. Top-tier Alpha ruts are truly terrifying. This marriage is definitely off.]
[…]
[88L: Dying of laughter. Suddenly remembered our Baby Yu. If he knew, he’d be crazy with joy.]
[89L: I’m Second Bro. Bro 88 and I thought the same thing. Baby Yu must be dying of happiness. But Baby Yu doesn’t seem to browse the forum. Aiyo, anyone in the thread close to Baby Yu? Tell him.]
Shen Shuyu stared at the words “Baby Yu” in shock. Wait, are they calling me?!
