Chapter 10 Two Days and Two Nights

In countless moments, Lin Yao had wanted to drag Xie Xingchen out and beat him up; just seeing this person annoyed him.

But now, when he looks at me with that kind of gaze and speaks in that tone, I just can't bring myself to do it.

"Pinch me, pinch harder." Xie Xingchen raised his chin slightly, his tone more like a command, even though he was at a disadvantage.

Lin Yao blinked slowly, his five fingers tightening and locking firmly on his neck, which was a shade darker than his skin tone.

That's weird.

But I can't quite put my finger on what's strange about it.

Normally speaking, it's perfectly normal for people like them, who provoke each other every few days, to fight. Besides, during their closed physical training in high school, they did have several real hand-to-hand combat sessions.

Lin Yao's chest heaved as he looked down at him.

"It looks fake," Lin Yao whispered. "I'll adjust it again."

"Okay." Xie Xingchen replied good-naturedly, even slightly raising his chin.

Lin Yao tightened his five fingers completely.

"And now?" He couldn't believe he was actually asking for a suggestion.

Xie Xingchen looked up and stared intently at Lin Yao, his clothes and hair disheveled from the struggle.

He symbolically cooperated with the other person's struggle, but a pleased smile was on his face as he acted, saying, "Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?"

"Go ahead and hit me. If you've got the guts, get up and beat me up." Lin Yao understood and played along. It was the first time he had done something like this, and in front of everyone, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" He Li and Cheng Boyan rushed out from the crowd, their hearts pounding with fear at the sight of the two men locked in a tense standoff.

What kind of mortal enemies are they, secretly having an affair? These two seem to be plotting to dig up each other's ancestral graves.

"Yao-ge's neck is all thick!" He Li felt sorry for his brother. "Did Xie...go...Xie Xingchen force you to do something you don't want to do?"

Lin Yao rolled over and stood up: "No."

Cheng Boyan naturally stood on the other side: "I just saw it. It was Lin Yao who dragged the person in. Did he provoke them first?"

Xie Xingchen also stood up briskly from the ground, showing no trace of the one-sided suppression he had just experienced. His voice was indifferent: "No, it's nothing."

Apart from the person who rushed to the cubicle, a large group of people stood outside the door watching the commotion.

He Li then subtly sensed that something was amiss.

The main problem was that Lin Yao's face was too red, as if a whole box of rouge had been poured on it, making his fair skin stand out even more.

Did he force a kiss on you?

Lin Yao:?

Is your brain filled with nothing but tofu dregs?

He Li lowered his voice: "I added you to that group just now mainly because I wanted you to see some firsthand gossip about the two of you. I guess you two are having an affair, but you've definitely gone astray. But who knows, maybe Xie Gou, that pervert, is actually in love but can't have you, so he finally takes action and forces himself on you?"

Lin Yao felt a throbbing pain in his temples: "All the answers are wrong."

"Then why are they fighting?" He Li asked.

Lin Yao didn't even bother to come up with a reason: "He looks like he deserves a beating, I just don't like him."

It sounded like it was true, and He Li's tone was a little regretful: "So they really are just ordinary, unremarkable mortal enemies? How boring."

What other relationship could there be?

Lin Yao really didn't want a bunch of people to stay crammed in the restroom, so he turned around and walked out, saying, "Everyone, disperse."

Fearing being exposed, he pretended to go into the blood drawing room for a quick look before quietly slipping away from the medical examination building.

Lin Yao was still not entirely reassured, so he went to the Capital Military Hospital to have his blood tested again.

The second report also clearly states that the second gender is Omega.

The two results were consistent.

There was no reason, and no cause could be found; it was just said to be a special case.

Lin Yao leaned against the wall, raised his hand to wipe his face, his eyes were very dry, and he felt a dull pain in his heart.

He didn't know who to notify or who to ask for help, and only now did he belatedly experience the confusion of truly becoming an Omega.

He lowered his eyes and unlocked his phone screen. A group photo taken not long ago caught his eye. It was a very strange photo of him and Xie Xingchen.

I suddenly laughed when I was in an extremely bad mood.

Neuropathy.

Lin Yao bought a lighter and burned the report completely.

Having endured too much suffering in the past, being destroyed and rebuilt time and time again, he simply accepted this change with equanimity.

Then, alone, I walked into the bustling crowd and disappeared into it.

-

Lin Yao returned to school. As soon as he entered the school gate, he saw a pure black limousine drive past him and stop in front of the dormitory building not far away. Xie Xingchen was standing there smoking.

When the car door opened, a man in a suit and tie got out and stood in front of him.

"Brother, you've gotten even more handsome in just a few days." Xie Xingchen flicked his cigarette ash, but his gaze fell on Lin Yao not far away.

Xie Yunhuai asked calmly, "I heard you asked someone to help you revise the report. Who is Lin Yao?"

Xie Xingchen hummed in agreement: "You're quick on the uptake. New roommate, is it worth making a special trip all this way just to help out?"

"You're so helpful, here's a little red flower for you." Xie Yunhuai said with a slight smirk, "The old man is planning to arrange a marriage between you and the Jiang family, don't cause trouble at a time like this."

Xie Xingchen's gaze slowly shifted, from far to near, but the point of his gaze remained unchanged as he slowly spoke: "Why don't I let you contact him? Brother is five years older than me, it's not my turn anyway."

Xie Yunhuai narrowed his eyes: "Jiang Qiran specifically asked for you."

"Is he blind?" Xie Xingchen stubbed out his cigarette in the nearby trash can, saying coldly, "My family knows about my illness; it's easy for him to mess around."

Xie Yunhuai smiled and said, "Young Master Jiang also loves to mess around. Aren't you two a perfect match?"

Xie Xingchen gritted his teeth: "You really are my brother."

Lin Yao walked by, holding a mineral water bottle, and frowned.

He didn't mean to eavesdrop, but he did vaguely hear a couple of sentences about marriage alliances.

Anyone who marries Xie Xingchen will be cursed for eight lifetimes.

"Hey, let me introduce you, this is Lin Yao," Xie Xingchen suddenly said.

Hearing his name called, Lin Yao was forced to turn around and meet the gaze of two slightly similar faces. He said coldly, "What's wrong with you now?"

“My brother, Xie Yunhuai, I’ll have to meet him sooner or later, so I should get to know him first,” Xie Xingchen said.

Lin Yao's brows furrowed even deeper. "Why would I want to see your brother?"

Out of politeness, however, he nodded slightly as a greeting: "Hello, elder brother."

"Hmm, you altered your medical report. What happened to you?" Xie Yunhuai stared at him intently. He had the physique of an Alpha, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and was not weak at all. He couldn't understand why his younger brother would help someone like this, engaging in homosexuality.

Lin Yao's back stiffened, and he remained silent.

He didn't want anyone to know that he had become an Omega who could go into heat at any time; that was too much of a vulnerability.

Xie Xingchen is always good at smoothing things over: "I have two stress disorders and I can't participate in training for six months, so I helped to cover it up."

Xie Yunhuai looked at him and smiled: "How do you know that he went to Hemu for a checkup?"

"Why do you care so much?" Xie Xingchen still had that carefree attitude, but his expression turned serious. "Instead of wasting your time, why don't you arrange a marriage for me?"

Lin Yao hadn't expected Xie Xingchen to be so meticulous in his work. His tense back relaxed a little, and he felt it was inappropriate to leave.

"Remember to come home this weekend." Xie Yunhuai didn't continue the previous topic.

Xie Xingchen thought for a moment and then refused, saying, "I'm not going, I have plans with someone."

Xie Yunhuai smiled enigmatically: "Did you just ignore what I said? With the marriage imminent, who else do you plan to invite?"

Xie Xingchen lowered his head, took another puff of his cigarette, and mumbled, "He's a new acquaintance. I'll be spending every night with him from now on, two days and two nights a week. I can't leave him."

No wonder he's a scumbag with eighty exes.

Lin Yao muttered to himself, but remained expressionless as he unscrewed the bottle cap and drank the water.

Wait, the weekend, two days, two nights.

These keywords sound strangely familiar...

How come this sounds like the deal he made with him to practice boxing?

Xie Yunhuai was somewhat surprised, wondering if he had been too lenient with his younger brother: "Are you dating someone? Or having casual sex?"

Lin Yao: "......"

He tilted his head slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing, and met Xie Xingchen's gaze.

His face was radiating indifference, as if to say, "Explain yourself, it's none of my business."

The latter's gaze fell heavily on him, carrying a hint of teasing, and his eyes held a knowing look that only the two of them could understand, suggesting a secret affair.

Xie Yunhuai paused for a few seconds, sensing that it wasn't a fleeting affair, and raised an eyebrow slightly: "You really dated?"

Lin Yao opened his mouth, but before he could utter a sound, he was interrupted.

Xie Xingchen raised the corner of his lips slightly: "We're not dating, just friends. I'm planning to pursue her."
