Chapter 27: Investigating Educational Background? [Livestream]: Check, Check, Check
Tang Xingye woke up feeling refreshed. Looking at the schedule on his phone, it was time for his regular check-up at the campus hospital.
Tang Xingye put on a mask and went out to take the subway to the campus hospital. The idle time during the journey was perfect for memorizing vocabulary.
He went through the routine basic examinations and confirmed that the bruises on his body were nothing serious; they would fade in a few days.
Coldly rejecting a patient who wanted to add his contact information, his phone screen lit up.
Lu Zhi: You went to the lab so early?
Tang Xingye lowered his eyes to look at the phone, his fingertip pausing on the screen for half a second before replying: Doing a physical exam at the campus hospital.
The next second, Lu Zhi sent a voice message, his voice actually revealing a hint of anxiety. “Why didn’t you call me to accompany you?”
Tang Xingye was stunned.
Does one need someone to accompany them to see a doctor?
He had always been a loner. Even for his last local anesthesia surgery, he signed the informed consent form himself. The nurse had given him a few extra glances back then, probably thinking he was pitiful.
“Not necessary.” Tang Xingye’s tone was calm.
“I’ll be there right away.”
Tang Xingye frowned slightly and sent a message telling him not to come.
Tang Xingye was still pondering about the club activities when a faint scent of cocoa lingered around his nose.
Lu Zhi sat beside him, nervous like a large dog afraid its owner was critically ill. “Where are you uncomfortable?”
Tang Xingye: “Nowhere, physical exam.”
If he had to mention anything strange, it would probably be that his glands had been heating up more frequently lately.
Lu Zhi wanted to say something more, but Tang Xingye glanced at him, signaling him to be quiet, so Lu Zhi shut up.
It was Tang Xingye’s turn to draw blood.
The young nurse looked up. Although she couldn’t see the young man’s face clearly, his exposed black and white eyes were very attractive, and she couldn’t help but look a few more times.
“Come, extend your hand, make a fist.”
A tourniquet was tied around his slender wrist, and the pale blue veins under his pale skin were clearly visible.
The Beta watched expressionlessly as the needle pierced his skin, but his eyelashes trembled imperceptibly. He then quietly turned his face away, lowering his eyes slightly, unexpectedly revealing a trace of fragility.
Lu Zhi found it a bit novel.
After Tang Xingye finished drawing blood, perhaps because he stood up too quickly, his vision went black for a moment. Lu Zhi noticed his abnormality almost instantly, supported his arm, and hurriedly fished a piece of chocolate out of his pocket.
Tang Xingye frowned slightly but still accepted it, his fingertips inadvertently brushing past Lu Zhi’s palm.
The moment Tang Xingye’s fingertips brushed his palm, Lu Zhi froze. That touch was slightly cool, making him tingle from his fingertips all the way to his spine, pleasure spreading rapidly.
Meeting those moist pink lips, he took a deep breath, trying hard to calm the agitation, secretly pinching his palm. “Don’t come to draw blood on an empty stomach.”
Tang Xingye didn’t have a sweet tooth, but the timely replenishment of sugar at this moment felt unexpectedly good.
The campus hospital was efficient, and the results were basically out. Tang Xingye’s body had no major problems.
Regarding the private content about glands, Tang Xingye entered the consulting room alone, while Lu Zhi waited outside. The doctor looked at the report and pointed out that Tang Xingye’s current hormone levels were a bit high.
Tang Xingye: ?
“Does this mean I will undergo secondary differentiation?”
“You don’t need to worry about that. Although the hormone levels are relatively high, they are still within the normal range. There is no possibility of differentiation.”
“However, the sensitivity of your glands far exceeds that of ordinary Betas. Your reaction to highly compatible pheromones will be particularly obvious, and it’s very easy for you to be tainted with pheromones. For example, encountering highly compatible pheromones might produce a fever reaction similar to an Omega’s.”
“If continuous fever occurs, you can temporarily inject soothing agents used for Omegas.” The doctor paused and added, “Of course, the most direct solution is to find a fixed partner to inject pheromones for comfort.”
This phrasing made Tang Xingye frown slightly: “…Temporary marking?”
The doctor waved his hand. “Accurately speaking, it’s ‘pheromone regulation.’ Betas cannot be marked, but highly compatible pheromones can temporarily cover your sensitivity reaction and relieve the fever.”
“You have a very high acceptance of pheromones and basically won’t reject other people’s pheromones.”
This examination result was somewhat unexpected for Tang Xingye, but since he wouldn’t undergo secondary differentiation, wouldn’t be marked, and it wouldn’t affect his life, he felt relieved.
The doctor watched Tang Xingye’s retreating figure, unsure if this Beta was fortunate or unfortunate. A body abnormally sensitive to pheromones made him fall into arousal more easily than ordinary people, while extremely high pheromone tolerance meant that, theoretically, any Alpha or Omega could become his “antidote.”
Looking at Tang Xingye’s expression, Lu Zhi knew there shouldn’t be any major problems with the check-up, but still asked, “What did the doctor say?”
Tang Xingye remembered a bad joke someone had told him. “Doctor.”
Seeing Tang Xingye still in the mood to joke, Lu Zhi felt completely relieved.
Shen Qing saw Lu Zhi and Tang Xingye coming to the club together, and the previously frozen atmosphere disappeared.
Her mouth corner curled up unconsciously—As expected, neither of these two is essentially hard to get along with. How can roommates hold grudges overnight?
Shen Qing suddenly remembered the question he had asked her last time, and that bit of worry surfaced again. While discussing the new debate topic with Tang Xingye, she asked seemingly casually, “By the way, how is your online dating partner?”
Tang Xingye’s fingers organizing the materials paused slightly. Remembering his aborted plan, his eyelashes cast a shallow shadow under his eyes. “Blocked.”
“That’s too, cough cough…” Shen Qing abruptly turned the “That’s great” she almost blurted out into a fake cough. Seeing Tang Xingye seemingly still sad, she pretended to cough with regret. “That’s too bad.”
Last time Tang Xingye mentioned the online dating partner’s hot and cold behavior, Shen Qing had mentally labeled that unseen Alpha as a “Scum Alpha.” She worried Tang Xingye was being deceived but also hesitated that advising a breakup might trigger rebellion.
Now it was good; the problem solved itself. Shen Qing immediately changed the subject. “Xingye, I see your grades are quite good. Would you consider doing online tutoring?”
Tang Xingye was stunned. “Online tutoring?”
“Recently, stalkers have been rampant in the school, so going out for offline tutoring at night is dangerous. Many platforms are short of lecturing teachers, especially those with backgrounds from prestigious schools.” Shen Qing smiled. “If you have energy in your spare time, you can earn some extra money.”
—And conveniently help you forget that dog Alpha.
Shen Qing silently added in her heart.
Tang Xingye looked thoughtful and thanked Shen Qing for her suggestion.
The light from the phone screen reflected between Tang Xingye’s slightly furrowed brows. He looked through the contract terms of major education platforms, frowning deeper the more he looked.
150 yuan for three hours, and the platform takes a 30% cut. Are university students so cheap nowadays? He might as well start a livestream and lecture himself.
The heat of the monthly exam hadn’t dissipated yet. Tang Xingye browsed the constantly refreshing posts in the discussion area. He noticed that under the most heated discussion post, students were arguing endlessly about the solution to a finale question.
“Actually, this question can be solved like this…” He quickly typed out his train of thought, added a few details prone to error, and casually advertised his free livestream lecture.
In the evening, Tang Xingye started his livestream. His equipment was simple: only a phone and scratch paper.
Clicking to start the livestream, the software displayed “Connecting.” After spinning a few times, an error prompt suddenly popped up: “Livestream partition setting failed, automatically assigned to the best matching partition.”
Tang Xingye frowned. He clearly remembered choosing the “Education – Knowledge Teaching” partition, but since the livestream had already started, he didn’t think much of it. The number of online viewers wasn’t high; most should be classmates coming for free tutoring.
Tang Xingye hadn’t adjusted the camera angle yet when the number of people in the livestream room suddenly skyrocketed to 300, and it was still rising.
—??? Did I enter the wrong room?
—What the hell? I took off my pants and you show me this? Where’s the adult content?
—Scam room, reported!
Tang Xingye frowned slightly. Only then did he notice that the platform had glitched and wrongly categorized his livestream room into the “Adult Entertainment” zone. He tried to modify the partition setting but found it temporarily unchangeable.
With no choice, Tang Xingye showed his face to explain that the livestream room was for serious teaching and did not involve any adult content.
The screen flickered, and immediately a cold, stunningly beautiful face appeared, breaking into view defenselessly, like a handful of fresh snow falling unexpectedly into one’s eyes.
Long eyelashes cast a dark shadow on his eyelids, the tails of his eyes were dyed with a thin red, and set off by that tear mole, a coldness inexplicably revealed a few degrees of allure.
The lighting softened the coldness between his brows. When those light gray eyes looked over, they appeared to be staring intently at you alone.
Looking slightly up at the camera, this angle was too intimate, as if one could feel the breath brushing past in the next second, giving a sense of immersion—Boyfriend Perspective.
The bullet screen suddenly went quiet for a second, then erupted at an even crazier speed.
—Ahhh sorry, Teacher, I admit I spoke a little loudly just now.
—This really is adult content… Adult Education!
—Teacher, I suddenly fell in love with math. May I ask if this is normal?
The livestream room suddenly became extremely lively, with gift effects filling the screen.
Tang Xingye said thanks but found he couldn’t thank them all, and reading the IDs was weird, so he had to turn off the effects.
It was his first time attempting livestreaming, and he had no concept of the gifts everyone sent. He reminded student viewers not to spend their living expenses, and then he turned off the gift-sending option.
Tang Xingye’s ultimate goal was to sell courses and his own study materials. Livestreaming lectures was just to showcase his teaching level.
A special bullet comment attracted Tang Xingye’s attention: Teacher, Teacher, can I investigate your educational background?
Investigate educational background?
Tang Xingye was stunned. “Now?”
This comment reminded him to go to the backend later to verify his student identity, making the lectures more convincing.
Tang Xingye answered seriously, “Yes, you can.”
For some reason, the screen was filled with: [AHHHHHHHHH CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK]
Because it was too dense, Tang Xingye couldn’t see other questions clearly and had to add the word “check” to the blocklist.
—Teacher, can you call me an idiot?
Tang Xingye was a bit helpless. “I don’t have a hobby of scolding people.”
Unless some blind dog thing came to provoke him.
Tang Xingye started by glancing at the comments and answering questions, but gradually found their questions had nothing to do with the topic being taught. He reminded them, “Listen carefully, don’t get distracted.”
He then lowered the camera to focus on the question.
—Teacher, why don’t you show your face? If you don’t show your face, how can I understand?
—Is it okay to lick the hand directly now?
—Put on some pants, the person in front. The room is flooded with your drool.
After explaining the question, it was time for interaction.
—Teacher, I want you to write the solution steps on my hand so I can remember them.
Tang Xingye: “I don’t provide offline services. Just listen to the course.”
—Will Teacher stream tomorrow? Can I lick your pen?
—Don’t be too ridiculous, person in front! Is Teacher’s pen for you to lick? I’m different, I just want to lick the hand.
Tang Xingye: “…”
What are these people thinking?
Is there no sense of achievement in learning three ways to solve a problem?
Isn’t mastering knowledge others don’t know happy?
Tang Xingye kept his goal in mind, promoting courses and study materials, and indicated there would be another livestream lecture next time.
The originally listless comments instantly cheered. Yay! Never looked forward to math class so much!
—
Inside the villa.
The young Beta couldn’t care less about eating. Wearing headphones, she giggled foolishly at her phone.
Ye Biezh knocked on the table, reminding her, “Ye Lin, stop watching videos. Finish eating, then go back to your room to watch.”
Ye Lin rolled her eyes at her cheap brother, too lazy to pay him any mind.
Ye Biezh didn’t see the screen clearly but guessed she was watching a livestream. “Watch less of those edge-ball streamers. Those male streamers speak sweet words just to coax you on purpose.”
“What do you know? This is my destined Wife. I recognized him at first glance. Wife is so beautiful; it’s a pity not to simp.”
“Ha?” Ye Biezh looked subtle. He didn’t understand but still kindly reminded, “Be careful, don’t get scammed out of money.”
“What do you know? My Wife isn’t that kind of person. He doesn’t ask everyone to send gifts at all. I voluntarily contribute my pocket money to Wife.” Ye Lin’s face was full of happiness.
Ye Biezh: “…”
He really thought Ye Lin’s behavior was sick. They weren’t short on living expenses, but spending spare money on gifts for strangers—might as well buy a few more sets of practice questions. How good would it be to improve oneself?
Ye Biezh had strong learning ability. For him, the best relaxation was doing two sets of math papers.
Ye Lin naturally sensed Ye Biezh’s disdain and cursed, “Damn Straight Alpha. You haven’t seen his face, you don’t know how good-looking my Wife is. If you listened to the questions he explained, you’d know how smart my Wife is!”
“Vulgar. What’s so good-looking about edge-ball streamers?” Ye Biezh sneered. Now knowledge streamers are starting to compete with edge-ball content? How good-looking or smart can they be? Isn’t it just filters, marketing personas, and memorizing scripts in advance?
Anyway, he wouldn’t give the person on the screen a second glance, nor would he like a streamer.
Ye Lin gave him the middle finger.
Ye Biezh couldn’t be bothered to talk about Ye Lin. He was just waiting to laugh at her when she got scammed running in circles.
Seeing Ye Lin watching the livestream like she was possessed, Ye Biezh finally couldn’t hold back his curiosity. Taking advantage of the gap when Ye Lin went to wash her hands, he secretly glanced at her phone screen.
Ye Biezh stared at the screen, and as if possessed by a ghost, looked for a few extra seconds.
Ye Biezh originally just took a casual glance, but unknowingly got drawn in.
The other party’s train of thought in solving the problem was extremely clear. The sound of the pen tip scratching across the paper rustled, inexplicably possessing a magic that calmed people down.
Watching and watching, he became engrossed.
[Would using Taylor expansion be faster for the third question?]
He subconsciously typed a line in the comment box. Only after sending it did he suddenly snap back—Wait, why was he listening seriously?
Tang Xingye looked up, happened to see that comment, and raised an eyebrow slightly. “Indeed it’s possible, but the exam syllabus doesn’t require it, and points for steps will be deducted.”
The cool voice carried a bit of careless laziness, yet was inexplicably alluring.
When Ye Lin came back, she saw her brother staring at her phone screen with a subtle expression.
“Yo, didn’t Young Master Ye say he wouldn’t watch edge-ball streamers?” She was deliberately sarcastic.
Ye Biezh immediately withdrew his gaze, expressionless. “I was just learning the problem-solving method.”
“Heh, stubborn mouth.” Ye Lin snatched back her phone, triumphant. “No one can refuse my Wife’s beauty.”
Ye Biezh: “His lecture was okay, I guess. Just a bit worse than me.”
He didn’t see the person’s face; the camera only showed the hands.
Ye Lin rolled her eyes. “Damn pretender.”
Seeing his sister return to her room, Ye Biezh silently took out his phone, downloaded the livestream platform, and registered an account.
For no other reason than wanting to understand one more math solution method.
Ye Biezh searched for the youth’s username. When he found it, the content that popped up was—
[Livestream has ended.]
Ye Biezh stared at the “Livestream has ended” prompt, his finger hovering over the “Follow” button, hesitating for a second.
He intended to exit, but accidentally touched it.
The option “Remind me next time live” suddenly popped up, and the system automatically recommended the streamer’s “Advanced Math First Aid Class” course link. That hand with distinct knuckles held a black fountain pen, next to the text: “Hand-in-hand explanation.”
Accidentally, the payment page popped up.
Accidentally, he paid.
[Payment successful! Course has been added to your learning library.]
Ye Biezh stared at the payment success page and couldn’t help sighing: The screen is too sensitive.
No choice, he had to continue listening.
