Part 4
But days without seeing him were like withdrawal symptoms; every second was excruciatingly hard to endure. So Luo Bing came up with this brilliant ideaāstalking Wife’s stalker, collecting second-hand from their hands.
The Vice President fished out a pile of trophies from the bag Luo Bing carried: pens used by Tang Xingye, masks, water bottles, band-aids, photos, disposable gloves, and even a few strands of hair.
They held a small meeting and confirmed that Luo Bing indeed wasn’t following the Omega, but stalking a Beta and collecting so many thingsāLuo Bing’s behavior was perverted to a disgusting degree.
The President knocked on the table. “For the school’s reputation, we won’t call the police. But your behavior is truly heinous and must be criticized in a school-wide notice.”
Luo Bing’s eyes lit up instantly, emitting an astonishing light behind the lenses.
School-wide notice!
This meant everyone would know he had crossed paths with Tang Xingye, that Tang Xingye had once ordered him! This was simply more precious than the rarest collectible!
No Alpha wanted to be a dog for a Beta. Alphas were born to be leaders, superiors, high-and-mighty existences.
Being a dog was base, self-degrading.
But being a dog for Tang Xingye was different.
The Vice President pushed up his glasses. “What, you don’t accept it?”
“President, are you really going to issue a school-wide notice about me?” Luo Bing’s voice trembled slightly with excitement.
The Vice President said coldly, “There is no room for negotiation.”
Before Luo Bing’s eyes, the image of Tang Xingye frowning while reading the notice suddenly floated upāthose usually cold eyes would narrow slightly, light-colored pupils turning into transparent amber in the reflection of the bulletin board. Perhaps he would even use that cold voice he had heard countless times to read out his name: “Luo Bing…”
Just imagining this scene made his gland heat up and swell.
Being nailed to the pillar of shame by the gaze of the cold, devastatingly beautiful Beta was simply a disguised blessing.
“That’s great!” Luo Bing’s face flushed with an abnormal tide of red. Immediately realizing his loss of composure, he hurriedly coughed twice to cover it up. “Cough cough, no, I just… suddenly remembered something happy.”
He tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were rising wildly, afraid the President would misunderstand he was provoking them. “School-wide notice is good! Uh, no, I mean, my behavior is so heinous it should be notified, let everyone see me as a negative example!”
Luo Bing was now like a fisherman who caught a hundred-pound fish, desperate to hang it on his license plate to show off. After being caught by traffic police, he couldn’t wait to pay the fine and get notified.
The Student Council members present: “…”
First time seeing someone so happy to be criticized in a notice.
Until he was taken down, this Alpha’s gaze was still glued to Tang Xingye in the surveillance footage.
Ji Chen bit on the candy, staring thoughtfully at this roommate he hadn’t interacted with much.
In the footage, the Beta was watching the Omega get into a taxi. After they disappeared, he took out a wet wipe from his pocket and carefully wiped his sticky fingers dry.
Tang Xingye retracted the expression he had just used to comfort the Omega. He turned his head to look at the corner, voice cold. “Have you heard enough?”
Zhou Lin, hidden in the corner, walked out slowly under Tang Xingye’s hostile gaze. “I was just passing by.”
Seeing the other party’s face full of disbelief, he smiled, shrugging innocently. “The door here wasn’t closed. Anyone passing by could hear.”
These were words Tang Xingye had said; now returned to him verbatim.
Tang Xingye narrowed his eyes slightly. Indeed, Zhou Lin being hit by a car when he went out was the right path for the human world.
Zhou Lin smiled. “Don’t look at me like that. I have no interest in going around telling other people’s secrets.”
Tang Xingye snorted coldly.
Zhou Lin thought of the Omega just now, seeming to recall something interesting, and reminded kindly, “That person has pink scars on his wrist. I guess he carries razor blades in his pocket. At such close range, you really aren’t afraid of him stabbing you.”
Tang Xingye glanced at him coolly, mocking, “You think he is you?”
From the sensation against his pocket, Tang Xingye could deduce that besides blades, there were probably pills and photos inside.
But Huo Zhe wouldn’t do that. He just lacked love; he wanted someone to tolerate him, accept him, love him.
Wanting to be loved, wanting to gain respectāthese were natural things. Yet he was mocked for it and fell into those malicious traps.
Those people never accepted him from the start.
Zhou Lin stared at Tang Xingye’s expression and suddenly smiled. He stepped forward, looking at him seriously.
His eyes were very deep, like an autumn pool. When staring fully at a person, it could mislead them into thinking he was full of deep affection.
“Little Green Leaf, I’m very sad you speak like this. We’ve lived together for several months; is my relationship with you not even comparable to your junior?”
“Lived together? Did the dorm leak water and soak your brain?”
Tang Xingye’s expression turned strange, like he ate a weird-flavored bean. He said faintly, “Don’t we just live in the same dorm? By your logic, I should have slept with Lu Zhi, Lin Mo, and the others too.”
“Isn’t it just sleeping once? What, you want me to take responsibility?”
“Take responsibility?” Zhou Lin nodded. “That’s a good proposal. What do you want to eat tonight?”
Tang Xingye said expressionlessly, “If you have something to say, say it straight. I feel nauseous seeing you right now.”
Zhou Lin gave an “Oh” and said, “Then let’s go to a hotel to eat.”
Tang Xingye couldn’t be bothered to give him even a look.
Unwilling to say a single extra word, Tang Xingye truly didn’t want to get involved. Zhou Lin couldn’t help hooking up a trace of genuine laughter. “Hate me that much?”
“Isn’t your engagement to your fiancĆ© fake? Your feelings aren’t deep either.”
The Alpha’s pheromones entangled seemingly casually. “Why not willing to try with me?”
“If you’re sick go see a doctor,” Tang Xingye strode away without looking back. “I have no time to act out a rich family drama with you.”
Zhou Lin froze, then smiledāit was his first time having his intentions exposed so bluntly.
Not only was he not annoyed, but he found it extremely interesting.
Betas shouldn’t have too strong a presence, but Tang Xingye was different. Standing in a crowd, despite doing nothing, he could make people notice him at a glance.
When Zhou Lin first saw him, a thought flashed through his mindā
This person is very suitable to be dirtied.
Not dirty in the literal sense, but wanting to see expressions other than coldness on his face. Wanting to see water sheen rising in those light gray eyes, wanting to see those tightly pursed lips forced open, trembling, losing control…
But Tang Xingye just had to be stern with everyone, like a handful of snow. The tighter you held, the faster he melted, finally leaving only a handful of cold wetness, reminding you that he never belonged to anyone.
He really wanted to know what would move Tang Xingye.
Tang Xingye, thinking about Pei Lian’s pheromone sample, pushed open the lab door, only to see the other party already sitting on the sampling chair waiting for him. Pei Lian looked up and smiled at him, fingertips tapping lightly on the extraction tube placed aside, as if he had been ready for a long time.
Pei Lian’s gaze fell on him, nose twitching slightly, the smile in his eyes fading a few degrees.
Sister-in-law has the smell of Omega on him again.
Of course, this isn’t Sister-in-law’s mistake.
Tang Xingye is born so beautiful; it’s normal to be stared at by those wild bees and butterflies.
Beauty is innocent. It’s all the fault of those greedy coveters.
Wen Ze aside, what are those people?
Even for Tang Xingye’s sixth marriage, it wouldn’t be their turn.
Tang Xingye looked cold, reaching out to take the extraction tube.
Pei Lian suddenly clasped his wrist, fingertips tightening slightly as if afraid he would pull away. He lowered his eyelashes, voice low and soft, carrying a few degrees of deliberate grievance. “Xingye, the needle is so thick… Can I hold your lab coat?”
He paused, then added, “Last time when I had blood drawn by another doctor, I fainted three times…”
Tang Xingye pulled his hand back expressionlessly, tone calm. “Mn.”
āAlpha having instinctual fear when extracting pheromones, that’s very normal.
Just as the extraction needle pierced the gland, the monitor suddenly emitted a sharp “Beep beep,” indicating the pheromone concentration instantly exceeded the standard.
The corner of Pei Lian’s mouth lifted extremely lightly, then was quickly suppressed, replaced by an innocent expression. “Is my pheromone too strong?” He looked up at Tang Xingye, voice low, carrying a subtle provocation. “…Unlike those Omegas, the instrument didn’t even bother to alarm.”
Tang Xingye turned off the alarm with one hand. “Mn.”
āAlphas also become chatty.
Pei Lian turned his face up, black eyes staring straight at him, tone carrying a few degrees of deliberate softness. “Xingye, can I call you Gege?” He paused for a moment, voice even lower. “…I haven’t had a brother since I was little.”
Tang Xingye, whose brain only contained pheromone data, finally came back to his senses, frowning slightly. “…Hm?”
āWhat kind of madness is Pei Lian having?
Little Green Leaf: Give me pheromones.
Alive (Lu Zhi): Who stole my Wife’s photo again.
Luo Bing: Thanking nature’s gift.
