Chapter 75: Annual Meeting: Being a Dog for a Beauty, Isn’t This a Form of “Sweet After Sweet”? Part 1
So fragrant…
Why is it so fragrant?
Like a madman, Lu Zhi pressed his face forward, plunging headfirst into the warm, fragrant jade. His face was wrapped in soft skin, even his high nose bridge sinking in.
Tang Xingye’s anger flared up instantly. With a displeased expression, he slapped Lu Zhi.
With a smack, a red mark appeared on Lu Zhi’s face.
Lu Zhi had a look of restrained endurance, appearing to be savoring the moment. Tang Xingye: “…”
He knocked Lu Zhi out with a chop to the neck. Disregarding the person before him, he pushed him away and stumbled toward the bathroom.
Leaving only a room full of warm fragrance.
Lin Mo didn’t return to the dormitory directly but took a large detour, climbing over the wall from the other side. Leaning on the windowsill, he peeped at everything in the room.
Lu Zhi grabbed Tang Xingye’s calf, lifted it, and sniffed from the calf all the way up like a dog.
The delicate Beta in a patient gown looked up blankly and helplessly. A blush of shame spread across his snow-white face, his long eyelashes trembling incessantly, lips slightly parted, as if frightened by the Alpha’s perverted, obsessive behavior.
Such a pitiful baby. Why is he always entangled by wild dogs?
A nameless anger suddenly rose in Lin Mo. His face instantly darkened, and he clenched his fists, wanting to rush in.
Seeing Tang Xingye flush with anger, regain his senses, and raise his handāLin Mo stared at his movementāthe hand raised and delivered a slap, making a crisp sound.
Lin Mo waited for Tang Xingye’s further action, to use the stun baton to teach this ungrateful cur a harsh lesson! But Tang Xingye only knocked the other out with a hand chop, pushed him away, and didn’t even kick him off the bed!
Just like this? How is a fool like Lu Zhi worth Tang Xingye’s indulgence?!
Watching this development, Lin Mo was filled with confusion. Clearly, Tang Xingye hated Alphas’ transgressive offenses the most, yet he tacitly allowed Lu Zhi time and again.
Tang Xingye raised his hand again, preparing to give Lu Zhi another slap. When his hand landed on the other’s face, he suddenly stopped. “Forget it. For the sake of you being a patient, I won’t haggle with you.”
On second thought, Tang Xingye still felt unappeased. He pinched Lu Zhi’s cheek and rubbed his hair into a bird’s nest. “Now we’re even.”
Lin Mo’s chest was congested with a volcano about to erupt, but this sudden turn of events forcibly blocked all outlets. The magma poured back, blocked all at once, hurting him acutely. His gaze was icy cold, staring fixedly at Lu Zhi, wishing he could carve off his flesh.
Sickness?
So just being sick can get so much attention from Tang Xingye?
It’s that simple? Just acting like this can achieve the goal?
Lin Mo always knew Tang Xingye was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. The self-directed car accident had given him a taste of sweetness, but he hadn’t expected Tang Xingye’s heart to be soft to this extent.
Lin Mo didn’t know about the transaction between Tang Xingye and Lu Zhi, but if it was merely because Lu Zhi had Pheromone Disorder Syndrome that Tang Xingye sympathized with him, pitied him… If being nearly licked swollen and sprayed didn’t matter, and he forgave him with a soft voice…
Then Tang Xingye should also come to pity him, love him!
The next day, when Tang Xingye arrived at the dormitory, he saw bottles and jars displayed on Lin Mo’s deskāmedicine bottles with English labels he couldn’t read. Because of the excessive quantity, his gaze lingered for a moment.
Lin Mo’s heartbeat quietly accelerated. He was waiting for Tang Xingye to ask, and had even prepared an excuse to naturally lead into the topic.
Tang Xingye just blinked, his tone carrying a trace of simple exclamation: “You take quite a variety of vitamins.”
Lin Mo: “…”
All the carefully designed topics instantly stuck in his throat. He tried to mention it again but was interrupted.
Tang Xingye: “If you are busy, you don’t need to come to my side.”
He heard about Lin Mo transferring research groups. The materials to fill out and the handover procedures should be quite troublesome.
He hadn’t thought of how to handle Lin Mo’s confession for the time being. Lin Mo didn’t seem like a love-struck person and wasn’t in a hurry for an answer, so he would just play it by ear for now. Simply put, Lin Mo’s thoughts weren’t important; actual actions would follow whatever made Tang Xingye comfortable.
“No impact, I can finish writing the materials today.” Lin Mo spoke closely following the end of his sentence, his speech slightly faster than usual. “I have already handed over with Professor Lin Xuyu.”
Lin Mo hadn’t expected the topic to turn here. He instantly abandoned the plan of using illness to gain pity. If he brought it up now, Tang Xingye would only tell him to rest more and not come.
Tang Xingye: “Oh.”
Teacher Lin. He still had to go find this easy-course teacher later.
Tang Xingye went to the club office. Teacher Lin, according to school custom, came to confirm his elective courses for the next semester.
“Why choose Ancient History?” Lin Xuyu scanned the course selection form, noticing that among a bunch of practical electives, Tang Xingye chose the boring and unpopular Ancient History. Given this good student’s maverick style, he thought he would hear a profound answer like “taking history as a mirror.”
Tang Xingye looked up, his expression very frank: “Couldn’t grab spots in other electives.”
Lin Xuyu: “…”
Such a real and down-to-earth reason.
After dealing with business, before Tang Xingye prepared to leave, Lin Xuyu spoke again, seemingly unintentionally, “Do you really not consider switching projects?”
Old Ye showed off this precious student every day. From the content of the homework submitted for the elective, Lin Xuyu also fancied him, so he took the opportunity to propose it.
Although he had a good relationship with Old Ye, Lin Xuyu had no moral burden trying to poach Tang Xingye for his own research group. If Old Ye truly had the ability to keep people, it wouldn’t be his turn to poach.
Lin Xuyu indicated that what he researched were hot topics, funding was not lacking, he could also let him slack off, and first authorship on papers was negotiable.
Young man, consider it.
Members of the same research group filling out materials on the side prayed frantically in their hearts: Don’t agree! This is seducing you to be an academic Daji! This is the wrong path!
Tang Xingye declined politely, “No need, Teacher. I still like the original research group.”
Those paying attention in secret instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xuyu continued, “Have you considered the institution for the winter internship? I can recommend you to the Execution Division, exempt from the written test.”
Jing University encouraged students to intern during winter and summer vacations and would issue written tests jointly with enterprises, competing for opportunities based on grades. Ambitious students naturally strove to test their best to go to the most popular units, such as the Execution Division, Medical Academy, etc., striving to add a stroke to their future resumes.
Tang Xingye shook his head. He didn’t intend to go to the Execution Division.
Interning there would probably mean being assigned to experience being a prison guard, confiscating phones, eating and living with criminals, and experiencing the feeling of stepping on a sewing machine in disguise.
When Tang Xingye left, Lin Xuyu turned his head to find other students looking at him, eyes full of resentment and dissatisfaction, written all over with “How could you poach him?”
Tang Xingye had to take a plane to attend the annual meeting. He said to Lu Zhi: “Don’t appear in front of me. I get angry seeing you now.”
Because of his glorious deeds last night, Lu Zhi successfully put himself in the cold palace.
Pei Lian couldn’t help gloating, telling Lu Zhi to show off in the group.
Tang Xingye looked at Pei Lian, “I remember your term paper deadline is early tomorrow morning. Finished? If not, stay in the library and continue writing.”
Pei Lian’s smile froze instantly: “…”
Lin Mo sneered, only two words flashing through his mind: Deserves it.
Lu Zhi knew the absurd things he did while drunk and dared not make a scene. He could only turn to find a good brother who was also going to the annual meeting, asking him to look after Tang Xingye more, especially not to let other Alphas hit on him under the pretext of academic discussion.
“Betas aren’t that delicate,” the friend didn’t think much of it, lighting a cigarette, but agreed readily, “But rest assured, I will watch over Sister-in-law and definitely won’t give others a chance to poach.”
He paused, getting curious, “What does Sister-in-law look like? You haven’t introduced him yet. Send a picture to see.”
This sentence instantly made Lu Zhi vigilant, his tone suddenly becoming fierce, “What do you want his photo for?!”
