The Pretty Beta is Forced to Become a Heartthrob Chapter 31.1

Chapter 31: Obsessed part 1

[Title] [Help] I think I saw our Cat come back… Is it a hallucination?

Poster: Original post. This afternoon, I went to the administrative center to submit some forms. The door to that office at the end of the corridor—the one that’s always locked—was cracked open. My heart started thumping like a pile driver; I literally forgot how to breathe. Only one thought was in my head: Is he back? Is he really back?? Then he seemed to sense me watching. He turned his head and glanced toward the door. There was someone else in the office. I only caught a glimpse of a bit of suit trouser leg and the tip of a leather shoe; the person was sitting opposite him. Our Cat… seemed to smile? Or maybe he didn’t. I’m not sure. Through the crack in the door, our eyes met for a second. He seemed to frown ever so slightly? Then, without hesitation, he reached out and shut the door. …I couldn’t see anything else. I didn’t even submit my forms; I just scrambled away.

1L: ?? Poster, are you sure you didn’t see wrong?? Wait, there was a man too?!

2L: Wait, wait, wait, babe. I know you’re excited, but concluding that our Cat is having a tryst with a man just based on a crack in the door… are you having delusions?

3L: Stop. Don’t start spreading rumors. Look, the creative writing section shouldn’t be confused with the reality section. OP, you picked the wrong sub-forum; you’re gonna get banned. == Honestly, your post is just too melodramatic. If Jiang-laoshi isn’t single, I can’t imagine how many people won’t be able to handle it.

4L: OP, I understand you… I didn’t dare say anything, but I saw Jiang-laoshi getting out of a luxury car today… A man with blonde hair. The two of them were talking and laughing. I’ve been holding it in until now; finally, someone posted.

5L: A man? For real? Jiang-laoshi doesn’t seem like the type to bring someone from outside the school into his office?

6L: If Jiang-laoshi really is back, that’s great! The suppressed desires of our school’s Alphas are saved!

7L: It’s not just Alphas, okay? Remember that time an Omega hugged his coat at his office door and cried until they fainted? I’m not saying anything bad about Omegas, it’s just that our Cat has this “Succubus” vibe… All three genders—A, B, and O—seem to project their desires onto him. ( ̄、 ̄) Our Cat has that kind of power—he makes you feel like you can never have him, yet you can never stop imagining the pleasure of being dominated by him.

8L: Am I the only one concerned about where he went during those two days he disappeared? He looks like he went on a vacation. Why did he have to bring a man back? Is it because he thinks we students aren’t good enough? TT Our youth is full of energy!

9L: I took advantage of self-study to sneak over and squat by the door of the psychology office for a bit. I successfully caught a glimpse of the “housewife-type” feeding cats… tsk tsk tsk… Good news: I didn’t see the other male lead. Bad news: I found that our “house cat” looks… even more like that. It’s just… before he was cold, but now there’s an indescribable flavor to him. I’m not saying he wasn’t alluring before, but now it’s a kind of languid sweetness that comes from being thoroughly satisfied from the inside out. To use an analogy: before, he was a gentle “Mommy” waiting to be plucked; now, he’s a contrasting forbidden fruit who acts spoiled after being completely claimed… (This user has been penalized for inappropriate speech.)

10L: I don’t want to hear it, I don’t understand… Tomorrow, the reservation system for the psychology center is going to explode, right? (Anxiously walking back and forth.gif)

11L: Gah! I didn’t click in to read this! This is reality; why are you all saying things that are more OOC than the fanfiction section? TT

12L: Exactly… Even though our house cat is “sao,” he has zero connection to the “obsessed” attribute. Don’t confuse your fantasies with reality. Right now it’s just a mute ban, but if you take it seriously… I see gold in your destiny; I predict you’ll get a pair of silver bracelets (handcuffs) in the next two years.

13L: Then how do you explain that look on his face, like he’s been loved intensely? Can’t even tell the truth these days?

14L: Upstairs, do you not want your account anymore? The moderators are watching. Who dares mention those two words… But what you said makes my skin crawl. I was in the administration building this afternoon too, and I did hear low laughter coming from that room. It definitely wasn’t Jiang-laoshi’s usual polite and distant tone. It was… a bit raspy, sticky…

15L: ??? Please elaborate! What was the deal with the other person?!

16L (Reply to 15L): The door was closed so I didn’t see, but when I walked past, I smelled a very strong perfume mixed with sandalwood. It’s definitely not a scent a student would use. It was too overbearing, insanely aggressive—like a bastard marking his territory. The usual fragrance on the Cat was almost entirely covered up.

17L: …Crap. So the summary is: the Cat, who disappeared for two days, was brought back by an Alpha male who uses cigar sandalwood, drives a luxury car, and has blonde hair (according to 4L), and they were chatting and laughing in the office? And he was even smelled to be covered in that person’s scent?

18L: And he allegedly frowned and immediately shut the door because he was seen. Isn’t that typical of hiding a person + a guilty conscience? He never had such a strong sense of boundaries with students before. When has that “accepting all comers” gentleness ever changed?

Poster: Ahhh, don’t drag me into this! I’m a bit scared. Anyway, what I saw is true… I’m out of here, bye.

19L: “Accepting all comers” my ass. That’s called “God loves all people.” What’s wrong with the Cat having a private relationship now? It’s a good thing! He’s held out alone for so many years; what’s wrong with enjoying a bit of being pampered? It couldn’t be that the Cat got a little satisfaction and all you shadowy bastards are collectively having a breakdown, right? >.<

20L: “Serious” enough that the other party looks like a middle-aged man with extreme control issues? Serious enough to be soaked through in two days so that even his scent changed? Is this not an obsessed girl (chÄ«nǚ) who’s lost her mind to love? How many A/O’s have approached him normally, and did he ever pay them any mind? Those who know, know how deep the water is here~

21L: Keep your mouth clean. What “nurturing”? =.= (And we Betas are also pursuing him, okay? What did Betas do to you?) It’s just a normal relationship between people. Can’t our house cat have love? Can’t he have a private life? You really think you’re something special.

22L: He can have one, but the partner can’t be an old dog who looks like trouble. Have you all forgotten Jiang-laoshi’s past? He’s been single for so many years, and now an unidentified person comes along and snatches him away in two days? Anyway, I don’t trust the “Cat’s” track record of meeting the wrong people.

23L: 111111 Agree. He’s definitely not in a clear state of mind. Before, he was a cold and indifferent icon; now, he’s a sacrificial offering who’s been placed on an altar and stained with human desire. Before, he was a stable iceberg; now, he’s hot and flighty, his eyes are all soft. It makes me even more worried. In the realm of romance, the Cat is definitely a “pleaser” type—the kind of self-sacrificing personality that fears the other person won’t be satisfied.

24L: The term “chÄ«nǚ” (obsessed) is too hard to accept… but thinking about his life experience, I can’t refute it. Take this as a rumor I made up: when he went downstairs today, he almost tripped. A hand reached out from beside him to steady him. The look he gave that blonde man when he looked up… I can’t describe it. It was… the feeling that only that one person remained in the whole world. He was deathly dependent. I never thought Jiang-laoshi would have that kind of expression.

25L: Stop talking, my heart hurts. Mommy, what do you see in him? I can do anything for you, just don’t let him touch you, okay?

26L: …Probably likes his money. Didn’t 4L mention a luxury car? The things the Cat usually uses are quite expensive. From that perspective, he really is “obsessed”—obsessed with material things. šŸ˜‰

27L: Can you all stop with the malicious speculation? Can’t he just genuinely like him? Liking someone, depending on them, having softer eyes and a “wetter” smile—does that make him “obsessed”? Can you simply not accept the fact that he can also be “slept soft” by someone?
