As Lou Miao'an left the elevator, she continued to thank Cen Yu for his help.

"If it weren't for your help, I might have had to make several more trips," Lou Miao'an said gratefully to Cen Yu.

Cen Yu was still a little unaccustomed to Lou Miao'an in front of him, the notorious villain in the later novel. He wanted to say something, but was worried that his words would provoke the man to turn evil, so he could only swallow his words.

“No need.” Cen Yu put one hand in his pocket. “I was going to run errands for the student council anyway.”

He felt he had finished his errands for the day and could almost slip away, but Lou Miao'an seemed to rarely encounter someone so kind to him, so he moved a little closer and asked, "...Can I treat you to dinner?"

He carefully observed Cen Yu's expression.

Because he wasn't very tall, he had to tilt his head slightly when looking at Cen Yu.

“No way,” Cen Yu refused outright.

Just kidding. Although he didn't want to provoke the other party to turn evil, he was too lazy to play any childish games or close friend games with Lou Miao'an.

He calculated that there were less than six months left before he was captured by the Zerg, and he had no intention of getting too involved with these characters.

"I don't eat with Betas." Cen Yu reverted to his usual disdainful attitude towards both Betas and Omegas.

He turned and left, leaving Lou Miao'an standing there watching his retreating figure.

After Lou Miao'an returned to the student council office, someone approached her gloatingly, "Did Cen Yu scold you?"

They all saw Lou Miao'an call Cen Yu for help, and even though Cen Yu was now forced to do odd jobs in the student council, they still thought that Lou Miao'an wouldn't give him a friendly look.

Lou Miao'an lowered her eyes, "...No."

"Really?" The people chuckled, not really believing it.

They assumed Lou Miao'an was just being modest and embarrassed to admit that she had been scolded by Cen Yu.

In their minds, even if Cen Yu was willing to help Lou Miao'an take the things away for the sake of the student council, he would probably just leave the office and then throw the things back to Lou Miao'an, leaving him to deal with them himself.

Perhaps realizing they wouldn't find any more fun with Lou Miao'an, they left dejectedly.

Bai Jinyu opened her office door at this moment.

His gaze swept over Lou Miao'an's arm, then quickly turned to a concerned expression. "You delivered the documents by yourself?"

Didn't you ask anyone else for help?

Lou Miao'an wasn't sure what Bai Jinyu meant. "Cen Yu just helped me."

“You can also ask others for help in the future.” Bai Jinyu nodded, his gaze sweeping over the few people who had made sarcastic remarks. “Everyone in the student council should help each other.”

"No one should be given special treatment."

Those who were just watching the commotion were terrified when they saw Bai Jinyu come out.

"...Understood, thank you, Chairman."

Lou Miao'an didn't like the student council at all.

Ultimately, he felt that his slow and deliberate personality was simply not suited for the Imperial Military Academy, but since every member of the Lou family had graduated from the Imperial Military Academy, he couldn't refuse to go.

However, he was very poor in both physical and mental strength.

It's not Alpha, it's not Omega, it's just a regular Beta.

Even though the school had already gone easy on him out of consideration for the Lou family, he still couldn't pass the exam.

Bai Jinyu contacted him first, saying that the student council couldn't just have Alphas; they needed more fresh blood, such as Betas and Omegas, which the student council needed... But after Lou Miaoan actually joined, he found that he could only do odd jobs.

Furthermore, since Bai Jinyu had specially brought him in through connections, his situation became even more awkward.

Lou Miao'an wasn't stupid; of course he knew that Bai Jinyu was being so friendly to him because it was all about getting the Lou family to take sides... He really wanted to tell Bai Jinyu that he was insignificant to the Lou family, so even if he tried to be friendly, he couldn't change the Lou family's mind.

As he was lost in thought, Cen Yu came to mind again.

When he arrived at the student council office today, he heard that Cen Yu had been called in by the president. He also heard about the big trouble in the dormitory supervisor department, and that the second prince might have to temporarily step down from his position as the head of the dormitory supervisor department.

He knew Cen Yu.

He usually frequented the school's online forum, so he had heard about the Black Mud Zone... He had also heard quite a few bad rumors about Cen Yu.

Even during their last class together, he directly mocked the Second Prince for being a Beta.

Lou Miao'an originally thought the other party was an extremely terrifying, arrogant, and annoying Alpha.

But when Cen Yu handed him the documents, he smelled a very pleasant scent... It was the scent of a pheromone blocker. Although the other person's face was expressionless, his eyes were calm when he looked at him.

So he mustered up his courage and asked the other party if they could help him.

Unexpectedly, although Cen Yu was a man of few words, he did not refuse her request.

In that instant, Lou Miao'an felt as if he understood the subtle attitude of some people in the Black Mud District.

While in the elevator, he secretly looked at Cen Yu in the mirror. His gaze lingered on the beauty mark under the other's eye for a long time. Of course, he also did not miss the surprise in the other's eyes when he heard his name.

However, Cen Yu only said it was because he knew the Lou family.

But Lou Miao'an felt that the truth was not so... He always felt that Cen Yu's astonishment was related to himself.

After Bai Jinyu finished speaking, she left the student council, and as soon as she left, the whispers started again.

Lou Miao'an, as a Beta, had only average hearing, but he could still clearly hear the keywords "Lou family" and "Beta." He knew that these people were deliberately saying it to him, but he didn't care.

He suddenly remembered a drug he had seen on a website that supposedly could help people change their sex after differentiation.

Lou Miao'an vaguely knew that his thoughts were sometimes unconventional.

For example, an average person might think at this moment, "How wonderful it would be if this drug could turn me into an Alpha or an Omega."

But what Lou Miao'an was thinking in her heart was—

It would be wonderful if Cen Yu could become a Beta or an Omega.

That way he won't hate those Betas and Omegas!

...

When Cen Yu returned to the dormitory, she found the atmosphere there to be rather serious.

He glanced at Wen Xihe's room. Although the door was closed, he could still sense that Wen Xihe hadn't returned.

Lan Yao and Sang Huaizhou seemed to be discussing something, but they stopped talking when they saw him return.

"Cen Yu."

Lan Yao called out to him as he was about to enter the room, "The head of the dormitory supervisor department needs to be temporarily replaced."
