Chapter 30 Then your neck was bitten by a dog.

Lin Yao's head was throbbing from the noise.

She tore off a new band-aid and stuck it back on: "No, how could I possibly sleep with him? Did your brain fall into the toilet and get soaked and stupid?"

She did bite, but they didn't share a bed, so it's not exactly lying.

“Exactly, let’s not even talk about how bad their relationship was before.” Cheng Boyan’s mind flashed back to the bizarre scene from last night, which he tried desperately to shake off. “Two such dominant Alphas, who’s going to be the bottom? They could fight for three years just over the position.”

Lin Yao said expressionlessly, "That's right, I am an Alpha."

He Lixin said, "Why do you think I collapsed in such despair?"

What a disgrace that a once-mighty Alpha was bitten by another arch-rival, the Alpha!

"And your neck?" He Li narrowed his eyes, his tone sarcastic. "Was it bitten by a dog?"

That red mark was so ambiguous; it was clearly a trace left by sucking and licking, and it was hard to ignore.

Xie Xingchen lowered his head, secretly pleased.

Lin Yao, lacking experience, blurted out, "He bit me, but it was during a fight, not what you think."

You're kidding me.

He Li, smelling the faint scent of tequila on him, was certain that the two of them had developed an affair behind her back: "Don't let me catch you doing anything wrong, I'll keep... spying on... you..."

Lin Yao didn't care; it was just a temporary marker that would disappear in a few days.

Sleeping with Xie Xingchen is impossible in this lifetime.

He finished his breakfast in three minutes after washing up, and before leaving the house, he sprayed half a bottle of perfume on himself to barely suppress the pheromones that had inexplicably become stronger.

The first class in the morning was at the training ground. He Li pulled him away first, afraid that he would have a relationship with Xie again.

She kept nagging along the way: "You can't mess around with Xie Xingchen. Have you forgotten how he treated you before? He had you beaten black and blue, stole your prize money, took your ranking, and was still so arrogant."

Lin Yao hummed in agreement, his tone indifferent: "I haven't forgotten."

"So I've decided to edit a few more videos of the two of you being intimate tonight to wake you up."

He Li angrily opened his phone and saw the background. He checked it several times before exclaiming in shock, "Holy crap, some idiot with the ID Xie Xingchen tipped me 40,000!"

“............”

Lin Yao never expected that the video was actually edited by He Li.

What I didn't expect was that Xie Xingchen actually gave a reward after casually praising someone. There are so many good things he could do with that kind of initiative.

He leaned closer and saw the name, incredulous: "You, an Alpha, named yourself Little Sweet Pear?"

"Is that not allowed? Who says Alphas can't be sweet? Besides, it's easier to attract fans by acting cute."

He Li looked at the amount and counted it several times. "Did you see this idiot? He gave 40,000 yuan for a crappy video and even gave it this name. Is he a brainless fan of Xie Xingchen?"

After all, no one would expect to surf the internet using their real name.

Lin Yao thought to himself, but Xie Xingchen really was the idiot.

Forty thousand! Why didn't you transfer it to my account?

Lin Yao still felt a pang of heartache thinking about the meal last night, and how the final reduction was only three thousand.

He Li opened the private message in the background and frowned, saying, "So it's not a brainless fan, but a CP fan of the two of you. Asking me to edit some sweet videos next time is too offensive. I can't do it."

Lin Yao: "Then return the money."

"Forty thousand, ah forty thousand... Poverty cannot sway me... Power cannot subdue me..." He Li found it hard to betray his side, yet he was tempted by the money. "Wouldn't it make me seem very rude to keep editing bad ending videos if I didn't return the money?"

Lin Yao said seriously, "Well, you can rename Little Sweet Pear to Fruit Civet. Animals have no humanity, he'll understand."

He Li looked at him with a sincere tone: "Brother, your swearing is so vulgar."

Lin Yao curved his lips slightly, his gaze falling on the figure in front of him. Xie Xingchen was wearing the same combat uniform that everyone in the courtyard had, all in dark blue, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, striding forward, and he managed to exude a strong sense of spirit and vigor.

He's quite handsome.

"It must be the combat suit's enhancement," Lin Yao thought aimlessly.

The next second, the person passing by stopped in his tracks, grabbed He Li's clothes by the back of his neck, and yanked him sharply: "You're the content creator who edited my Zheng Ye's parody videos?"

He Li: Huh? ???

Is it possible to expose someone's identity so quickly by surfing the internet?

"Waaaaaah, let go!" He Li cried out in terror as his neck was being strangled, "Brother Yao, save me!"

"I've been following you guys all this way, and I haven't made a mistake. It's you, you stupid piece of trash," the other person said viciously, eavesdropping with a sense of righteous indignation.

Lin Yao looked over and saw that the other side had several people standing together. In the center was Duan Zheng, whom he had faced in the competition, and the one standing in front was probably his underling.

"Li Mao, be polite," Duan Zheng said.

“Brother Zheng, so many people are mocking you in the comments section of that video. Shouldn’t we teach him a lesson?” Li Mao said indignantly. “I won’t be satisfied until I beat him up three times.”

Duan Zheng's expression remained relatively calm, but it was clear that he had become gloomy.

I was so angry that I didn't eat dinner last night.

Pheromones suppression was supposed to be a sure win, but at the last moment, he was kicked away by Lin Yao in such a pathetic manner. It was embarrassing enough, but he thought he could move on after the freshman competition. Instead, he was turned into a meme and became a trending topic. His reputation as an outstanding student was completely ruined.

The two people in front of me, who originally had no grudges against each other, have now become thorns in my side that I find unpleasant.

"In public, it would look like we're bullying someone." Duan Zheng said nonchalantly, with a half-smile. "Let them go."

Lin Yao's eyelids twitched.

He was always sensitive to such emotions, and his attitude was unusually gentle: "Xiao He didn't do it on purpose, we'll delete it now. He Li, apologize."

"Sorry, I was just editing it for fun, I didn't expect it to... go viral..."

He Lixin said that I was just doing some fancy tricks online, and I actually got caught red-handed. I'm so unlucky. I should go pray to Buddha because I've been having bad luck lately.

He was trembling with fear, and immediately bowed ninety degrees. "I hope you will be magnanimous and not mind. I will compensate you with a dashing video, oh no, ten of them, guaranteed to go viral on StarNet. What do you think?"

Duan Zheng: "........."

It feels like they hired online trolls, which is even more shameful.

Seeing his head drooping to the ground, Li Mao was furious: "Are you going to Zheng Ye's funeral? That video has been parodied so many times, what's the point of deleting it now?"

"It's better than letting it fester." Lin Yao took He Li's phone, quickly deleted the message, and looked up to say, "Okay."

Li Mao was surprised by how quickly he acted. His eyes widened, and he muttered under his breath, "Damn it, I forgot to record."

Now that there was no evidence, any further provocation would seem like bullying. He cursed and said, "Just you wait, I'll deal with you in a bit."

Thinking it was just a harsh threat, He Li didn't expect the retaliation to come so quickly.

Upon arriving at the training ground, each student was given a mech, and the professor first had the students practice simple operations to familiarize themselves with it.

He Li had only taken a couple of steps when a green mech charged straight at him at an extremely high speed.

"Damn it, damn it, back off, back off, which one is back off..." He wanted to avoid it, but he was extremely flustered because he was not familiar with the operation. When he looked up, he saw the person in the control cabin, the guy who had been so aggressive just now.

Lin Yao was quite far away, so he couldn't help the immediate crisis.

It's too late.

He Li was flustered and retreated, but instead of retreating, he advanced, heading straight to meet the other party.

Boom—

After a loud bang, it collided violently with the charging mech.

"Ouch!" He Li and his mecha tumbled over, with someone pinning him down.

Li Mao sneered, "Useless."

He Li was so pressed down he could hardly breathe: "Get out of the way!"

The other party, however, showed no intention of making a move.

Hearing the commotion, Lin Yao turned around and took three steps to get to Li Mao, who was on top of him, and with a slight movement, he grabbed Li Mao and threw him aside.

He suppressed his emotions and offered the other person a way out: "Li, if you're not familiar with the operation, you can practice more in places where there are fewer students, so you won't accidentally hurt others."

The commotion was so loud that all eyes on the training field turned to look.

"You two are in cahoots, didn't you order him to make the video?" Li Mao, along with his mecha, was thrown out like trash, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "You just happened to beat Master Zheng, and now you want to tell the whole world through a megaphone, huh?"

Lin Yao remained calm: "If you're going to slander someone, then provide evidence."

Li Mao stood up, took two steps forward, and deliberately bumped into him: "Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the operation, it got a little out of control."

Lin Yao stepped back, his lips pressed tightly together, suppressing the urge to retaliate.

Li Mao took two more steps forward and bumped into someone again: "I'm really sorry, I'm a beginner."

The sound of mechanical collisions was loud, piercing, and sharp, plunging the entire venue into an eerie silence.

Tensions were high.

Lin Yao took deep breaths, silently reminding himself that He Li was in the wrong this time, so he had to endure it and not make a move.

Seeing that he had no intention of retaliating, Li Mao became even more smug.

It kept ramming into him several times, almost cornering him against the wall, ramming him again and again, over and over again.

"Lin is pretty bad too. She can't even fight back. Just like me, she seems to have no control over her arm. Oh dear."

Lin Yao sensed that he was about to attack, his pupils contracted, and he was already in the corner, unable to dodge.

As Li Mao spoke, he took two steps back. Just as he swung his silver whip, he felt a loud bang on his back, followed by a burning sensation that scorched his back. Then he was suddenly kicked away.

"Ah ...

Li Mao cursed as he rolled ten meters away, armor and all. Metal fragments shattered into pieces, and the man was forced to roll to the side, curled up on the ground, howling in pain.

Xie Xingchen raised the mechanical arm, holding the person in mid-air, and spoke casually amidst the person's terrified screams.

"If you're going to cook, just practice more. I'll teach you."
