[Side CP Extra] Their Second Life (1)
The first time Xiang Wanxing saw Chen Zirui, he felt this person was no different from those Alphas trying to curry favor with him.
He was the child of the richest man. He had been surrounded by people since childhood, and after he differentiated into an Omega, there were even more—mostly Alphas with ulterior motives.
So when he first met Chen Zirui at the training grounds, he categorized the other party as that kind of Alpha.
He stared at Chen Zirui arrogantly, scrutinizing his whole body with disdainful eyes, watching Chen Zirui’s face turn redder and redder until he started stuttering.
When Chen Zirui finally managed to finish his self-introduction, he let out a scoff.
Under Chen Zirui’s surprised gaze, he mocked him mercilessly.
Standing with several other Alphas, Chen Zirui was the shortest, almost buried in the crowd. Who knew how he squeezed in?
Xiang Wanxing was eager to cultivate his own power, selecting capable talents within the school.
But looking at Chen Zirui’s appearance… height was a no-go.
Face… was passable.
Xiang Wanxing didn’t know why his mind went there; maybe it was because Chen Zirui’s way of hitting on him was too off.
Xiang Wanxing spoke without mercy. “Little Shorty, go take a piss and look at your reflection. I’m not willing to take just anyone. Besides, I only want SSS-rank. May I ask, are you one?”
Perhaps due to his family background, usually no matter how nasty his insults were, no one dared to show dissatisfaction. Thus, he developed a habit of being venomous.
After he scolded like this, Chen Zirui’s cheeks instantly flushed red, his expression like he wanted to speak but stopped.
Probably wanted to curse him out, but didn’t dare.
In less than a minute, Chen Zirui walked away dejectedly.
Xiang Wanxing forgot about this incident. Even when he encountered this person at school later, he didn’t recall what happened at the training grounds.
Seeing Chen Zirui again was a long time later.
At that time, he had just started collaborating with Xie Miaohan and brought Xie Miaohan and Gu Huaiye to settle down in District B.
Xie Miaohan asked him to help look after someone. To show his sincerity in the cooperation, Xiang Wanxing didn’t refuse and agreed directly.
Although Xie Miaohan emphasized that Chen Zirui was just Gu Huaiye’s friend, Xiang Wanxing didn’t believe it at all. Who looks after a lover’s friend too?
According to the information Xie Miaohan gave, this person was training in the military.
Just entered not long ago, probably still in the rookie zone.
Xiang Wanxing felt the name was very familiar. When he went to the military to handle some business, he remembered Xie Miaohan’s request and decided to check on this person while he was at it.
He grabbed a random Alpha and asked which one was Chen Zirui.
Following the other’s direction, he saw Chen Zirui being punished by a superior, doing horse stance squats in the corner.
A very familiar face… where had he seen it?
Xiang Wanxing frowned tightly, rummaging through the faces he had encountered recently in his mind. Finally, he remembered who this person was.
So, with hands in his pockets, he walked over to Chen Zirui with a leisurely and casual expression.
Originally, Chen Zirui had his head down looking at his shoes, trying to distract himself and forget the soreness in his muscles.
It wasn’t until a pair of expensive handmade leather shoes intruded into his field of vision that he looked up blankly. Upon seeing the other’s face clearly, he revealed a surprised expression.
“Yo, I was saying why you looked so familiar. Turns out it’s Little Shorty.”
Hearing this address, Chen Zirui exploded immediately, forgetting he was still being punished, and couldn’t help standing up.
“Why is it you!”
Xiang Wanxing curled his lips into a smile. “So you remember me.”
“Of course I remember you!”
Just as Chen Zirui was about to start cursing, the officer not far away noticed the situation here and shouted at the top of his lungs, “Chen Zirui! Who told you to stop the horse stance!”
Chen Zirui was startled and hurriedly resumed his previous posture.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Xiang Wanxing’s face deepened.
“Why did you come to the military?” Xiang Wanxing wasn’t really curious; he just wanted to mock him. “With your short height, how did you pass the selection?”
Chen Zirui could only glare at him aggrievedly. “There is no height requirement.”
“Then I have to suggest one to the people above.”
Chen Zirui: !!!
“Being tall makes you amazing, huh?”
“Yes, amazing.” Xiang Wanxing looked him up and down condescendingly. “Envious?”
“Envious my ass!” Chen Zirui turned his face away, deciding to ignore him.
Xiang Wanxing raised an eyebrow. “Such a big change in attitude. Are you completely done pretending?”
Chen Zirui didn’t want to talk to him, treating him as air.
“Someone entrusted me to take care of you. Please advise me in the future.”
He said “please advise,” but his manner was incredibly arrogant; simply opening his mouth to speak sounded like charity.
Chen Zirui didn’t take his disdain to heart. He looked over immediately, his expression pleasantly surprised. “Is it Brother Gu?!”
“Brother Gu?” Xiang Wanxing paused, asking, “You mean Gu Huaiye?”
“Yeah.”
Xiang Wanxing was silent for a moment, then said, “You could say it’s him.”
Chen Zirui: “……” What kind of answer is that?
He thought of another person and asked curiously, “Don’t tell me it’s Xie Miaohan?”
Hearing Xie Miaohan’s name, Xiang Wanxing looked up at Chen Zirui. “What is your relationship with Xie Miaohan?”
Just as Chen Zirui was about to answer, the officer called his name, so he turned and ran.
After that, Xiang Wanxing came to the military often.
Sometimes when he thought of this person, he would come over to tease him a bit.
After spending time together for a while, Xiang Wanxing’s opinion of him gradually changed. He felt this person was quite interesting.
Chen Zirui was different from those who actively approached him. He didn’t have so many schemes; his emotions were all displayed on his face. He was a very simple person.
Every time Xiang Wanxing stayed with him, he felt very relaxed, so the frequency of his visits increased.
The only thing that truly made Xiang Wanxing take Chen Zirui to heart was when his susceptibility period came early in the military. Chen Zirui disregarded past grievances and took the initiative to help him inject an inhibitor.
He observed Chen Zirui with a complex gaze, not understanding why Chen Zirui didn’t seize the opportunity to demand something from him.
Ever since Xiang Wanxing differentiated into an Omega, too many Alphas wanted to take advantage of his vulnerability.
Even his own biological brother had instigated a servant to mark him during one of his susceptibility periods.
Fortunately, they didn’t succeed in the end. He couldn’t do anything to his older brother, but he could make that servant disappear completely.
Speaking of which, it was truly laughable.
In that moment, he received true respect for the first time.
From then on, Xiang Wanxing’s gaze couldn’t leave Chen Zirui. He always found opportunities to get touchy-feely with Chen Zirui.
He knew Chen Zirui didn’t have those kinds of thoughts about him, which made Xiang Wanxing want to obtain Chen Zirui even more.
He knew there was nothing he couldn’t get.
Whether it was money or power, as long as he wanted it, he could definitely get it.
Let alone an unfavored young master from District A?
Chen Zirui wanted leave, so Xiang Wanxing used his connections to help him apply for it.
Later, he received news from the person tracking Chen Zirui that Chen Zirui had spent the night at Xie Miaohan’s apartment.
He chased over immediately early in the morning.
He didn’t trust Xie Miaohan very much, nor was he clear on their relationship. He had to go investigate it himself.
So as soon as he saw Chen Zirui, he found a chance to get close and sniffed the scent on Chen Zirui.
Only the smell of cigarettes and alcohol.
It seemed he really was overly suspicious.
Thinking of this, Xiang Wanxing couldn’t help laughing at himself in his heart.
When did he become like this too?
Actually being suspicious and paranoid over this kind of thing.
Xiang Wanxing coaxed and tricked Chen Zirui, personally driving him back to the Chen family villa.
Chen Zirui was indeed easy to coax; a few casual words and he fell for it. This made Xiang Wanxing start worrying about Chen Zirui’s IQ.
Upon arriving at the Chen family villa, Chen Zirui specifically called Father Chen, lying that he forgot his keys and asking a servant to come open the door.
Chen Zirui wanted the servant to discover Xiang Wanxing so that Father Chen would start valuing him.
“Xiang Wanxing, wait for me a moment. It’s a bit cold outside; I’ll hide in your car for a bit.”
Xiang Wanxing looked amused. “You are a soldier, yet you can’t even withstand this bit of cold wind? Why bother going to the battlefield?”
Chen Zirui got unhappy and got out of the car in a huff.
Xiang Wanxing followed him out.
“What did you come out for?” Chen Zirui glanced at him. “Leave quickly. Seeing you is annoying.”
Xiang Wanxing suddenly grabbed Chen Zirui’s wrist, his eyes becoming dangerous.
“Your method is outdated. What’s the use of just seeing a car? Why not do something more exciting?”
After speaking, Xiang Wanxing lowered his head and kissed Chen Zirui’s lips.
Such soft lips.
