Chapter 101
Feng Xing was still chattering away in Shen Shuyu’s ear. The topics included, but were not limited to: advising him to like someone else, reminding him that there were plenty of other Alphas in the world so why cling to one who didn’t love him, and waxing poetic about how rare a destined soulmate truly was.
Shen Shuyu felt calluses forming on his ears. He couldn’t help but ask, “Did my brother assign you some kind of mission? You’ve been talking all through lunch. Aren’t you tired?”
Feng Xing let out an awkward “Haha” and replied, “President Shen didn’t give me any mission.”
It was just that President Shen had mentioned it in passing before his parents. As the son of the Shen Group’s most loyal employee, he naturally had to resolve President Shen’s worries!
And even if President Shen hadn’t said anything, he would still have tried to persuade Shen Shuyu.
They were childhood friends who had grown up together, after all. Shen Shuyu had always been a bit spoiled, sure, but his heart had been in the right place. However, ever since he fell for Chi Yanxun, it was like he had been possessed. His personality changed drastically; he remained obedient in front of President Shen, but in front of everyone else, he became a veritable demon.
Their relationship had drifted apart because of this, but now that he saw signs of Shen Shuyu returning to his old self, he was naturally willing to offer some advice.
After all, they were childhood friends.
Shen Shuyu pulled the test paper off his face and turned his head. “Are Chi Yanxun and I really that incompatible?”
Feng Xing hesitated for a moment. “It’s not that you aren’t compatible, it’s just… your magnetic fields might not align.”
“…Since when did this involve magnetic fields?” Shen Shuyu looked at him in confusion. “When did you get into metaphysics?”
Feng Xing replied, “Ancestral wisdom must have some use.”
Shen Shuyu hummed skeptically, so Feng Xing continued, “Don’t blame me for running my mouth. We grew up together. Counting the year or two without memories, we’ve known each other for twenty years. You used to be spoiled, but you were good-hearted. But after meeting Chi Yanxun, your whole vibe changed.”
Jealous and violent. Wen Jiafei was the biggest victim. Not only that, but it was as if his IQ had regressed—treating everything Chi Yanxun said as gospel truth.
It was truly terrifying.
At one point, because of Shen Shuyu’s love-crazed brain, Feng Xing had wanted to hide far away from any Omega.
Shen Shuyu asked doubtfully, “Was it that exaggerated?”
Feng Xing nodded, his expression turning serious. “It’s not an exaggeration. That’s exactly how it was.”
Shen Shuyu pursed his lips, but Feng Xing patted his shoulder. “But the current you is normal again.”
He paused. “I’m not saying the old you wasn’t normal, it’s just… just…”
Feng Xing stuttered, unable to find the words. Shen Shuyu cut in, “I know what you mean. Stop with the ‘just, just’.”
Feng Xing chuckled. “Let’s drop it. There’s something else I need to tell you in advance.”
“What?” Shen Shuyu asked.
“At the end of next month, the academy is holding its anniversary celebration. Each department has to submit three to five programs. Do you have any ideas?”
Anniversary celebration?
Shen Shuyu remembered now. There was indeed such a plot point in the novel. In the story, because the Reserve Department had few students, they were grouped with the Mecha Department.
Shen Xili and Chi Yanxun were their two trump cards. Shen Xili had his eyes on the first-place prize, and by this time, Chi Yanxun’s feelings for Shen Xili were already very obvious. Once Shen Xili spoke up, he naturally agreed to participate.
Shen Shuyu quickly recalled the details. The two of them rehearsed a fairy tale. The original host, being the vicious cannon fodder, naturally tried to sabotage it. Although he didn’t manage to snag the role of the protagonist alongside Chi Yanxun, he still managed to secure a villainous role.
On stage, everything was supposed to go according to the script, but the original host couldn’t stand seeing Shen Xili as the protagonist and tried to make a fool of him in front of everyone. The result was a clumsy failure that backfired.
Chi Yanxun and Shen Xili accidentally kissed—an accidental loss of their first kisses. This moment kicked off a dozen chapters of stubborn denial and secret jealousy between the two.
Thinking about the two of them kissing, Shen Shuyu couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Before, he might have been able to picture it, but now? He figured they’d more likely punch each other before any kissing happened.
Chi Yanxun showed no signs of liking Shen Xili, and there was even that Su Mu character in the picture now. Shen Xili didn’t seem to harbor any romantic feelings either.
Difficult.
Simply too difficult!
Shen Shuyu felt a headache coming on.
Seeing his face crumple, Feng Xing asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Shen Shuyu snapped back to reality. “Nothing. Are you planning to go on stage?”
Feng Xing shook his head. “I’m backstage crew. I just wanted to ask if you had any interest.”
Honestly, no. But tragically, he couldn’t tell the truth.
Shen Shuyu nodded. “I think it sounds quite interesting.”
Feng Xing patted his shoulder. “Good brother! With those words, I’m relieved. I’ll definitely set up an interesting program for you!”
Shen Shuyu felt numb. “You chattered so much today; was this your ultimate goal all along?”
Feng Xing chuckled mischievously. “Can’t help it. You’re the only Omega in our department. There are plenty of Alphas and Betas, but none are as good-looking as you. Our Brother Shuyu is the number one beauty of the entire Mecha Department!”
Shen Shuyu gave a fake smile. He had a feeling Feng Xing was up to no good.
Feng Xing continued, “Actually, preparations started two days ago. I’ve been wanting to find a time to tell you. The deadline is tomorrow. I’ll go back and organize the content and the headcount. Let’s finalize this before the last class this afternoon so I can submit the program list.”
This was the academy’s 200th anniversary, so everyone wanted to make it a lively celebration.
Shen Shuyu said, “Fine, I’ll take a look later.”
Feng Xing gave him two thumbs up. “Then I’ll head back first. I’ll find you later.”
Countless scripts were already flashing through his mind!
Shen Shuyu’s eyelid twitched. He had a foreboding feeling that something bad was waiting for him.
And when Feng Xing brought people over that afternoon, Shen Shuyu finally understood where that unease came from.
Feng Xing brought Wen Jiafei, Shen Xili, and several other reasonably good-looking Alphas from the class.
When they stood there, they made Shen Shuyu look exceptionally petite.
Feng Xing placed a stack of scripts in front of him. “Shuyu, you pick!”
Shen Shuyu lowered his eyes to the titles on the scripts.
Sleeping Beauty O
The Little Mer-O
Snow White Omega and His Seven Alphas
…
Shen Shuyu’s face grew darker the further down he looked.
Did he stumble into a fairy tale nest?
Snow White Omega and His Seven Alphas?
The more he looked at that title, the more indescribable and censorship-worthy it seemed.
Shen Shuyu looked up at Feng Xing, who wore a face full of anticipation. Then he turned to look at Wen Jiafei and Shen Xili. He took a deep breath. “Are there no other… normal, healthy scripts?”
Feng Xing replied, “These are the stories with the highest call volume I found online. Plus, they’re classic fairy tales. Super popular.”
Shen Shuyu let out a dry laugh. “Do you have zero creative ability of your own?”
Asking him to act in these… it was worse than killing him!
