Chapter 77 Can't Sit Still: Needs a Hug to Sit Still (Bug)

I thought Xi Congshuang's nervous and professional way of kicking people out and searching for medicine meant that she had finally changed her ways.

But it was still the same.

Instructor Lin didn't care what these youngsters were thinking and strode forward to ask, "How's the situation?"

Xi Congshuang closed the door behind her, blocking all views: "It's fine, it's quiet now, and they're resting inside."

"..."

Silence fell over the surroundings as everyone belatedly realized what was happening, and the alphas around her stared at her with horrified eyes.

Wherever Xi Congshuang went, the alphas couldn't help but back away. After the fear of being dominated by Tan Yicheng, they also felt the fear of being dominated by a beta without pheromones.

Red Apple, having finally found an opportunity to go online, kindly reminds you: "Let me explain what these looks mean to you. In everyone's eyes, it's no different from subduing a Tyrannosaurus Rex with bare hands."

Then I manually congratulated myself on another day of eating my fill: "What were you doing just now? I've been trying to log on but couldn't."

Tan Yicheng was terrifying in everyone's eyes, but Xi Congshuang, who could subdue and inject the differentiation agent, was twice as terrifying.

Xi Congshuang: "..." It's not that exaggerated.

With so many people in front of her, Xi Congshuang naturally had no way to answer the system and could only remain silent.

Just as everyone was itching to ask Xi Congshuang how she did it, they took this opportunity to ask her a few questions.

After all, next month will be the field training, and everyone on the ground will be a competitor. Tan Yicheng is the competitor among competitors, the king of kings.

If we were to draw a comparison, Xi Congshuang's current status in their eyes is that of the queen of queens.

Forget about ABO or ABCD, winning the game is what really matters.

The thought only lasted a few seconds before Xi Congshuang said to Instructor Lin, "I'll ask the school for a few days' leave on her behalf, and I'll take her with me."

"Of course..." Instructor Lin was caught off guard. "Where are you taking it?"

Xi Congshuang: "My home."

"Beep beep beep." Xi Congshuang raised her wrist to answer the call. Gloria's voice came through, "Boss, the things have arrived. Shall we bring them up now?"

Xi Congshuang: "Mm."

Everyone was still confused; what was she trying to impress them with?

Soon, everyone knew what she was trying to keep in suspense.

It wasn't until the people Xi Congshuang had called carried the person away in a fully enclosed treatment pod that everyone was still in a daze.

Including Instructor Lin himself.

"...?"

What happened? It looks like something huge and pure white passed right in front of us.

After a while, Dr. Fan, who had finally finished her work and returned, saw a crowd of people gathered in front of her office, including her girlfriend, and asked curiously, "What are you all doing here?"

She strode upstairs, pushed through the crowd to look inside, but it was empty: "There's nothing here, what's there to see?"

wrong.

It's not right for the place to be empty and without people!

Dr. Fan quickly turned her head and looked at the empty school clinic, gesturing with her hands: "Where's my assistant?! Where did such a senior assistant go?!"

The stunned crowd finally came to their senses, regaining their composure after the inexplicable shock they had just experienced.

"They just took it away like that?" Qi Qianqian murmured.

One of my classmates was taken away in an egg-shaped treatment pod. She was worried about how to transfer Tan Yicheng, and one idea after another flashed through her mind.

This includes, but is not limited to, wearing a patch to suppress the urge and then running away, or only coming out to move around when all the students are in class.

As expected, poverty limited her imagination. Xi Congshuang directly had her assistant take the sanatorium pod with a robot and take the person away.

Although her family is not poor, it's still a bit excessive to carry a multi-million dollar intensive care unit to take someone away.

It was at this moment that Qi Qianqian remembered once again that this was a woman with stars in her heart.

She was too naive. — This was also Instructor Lin's thought; his mind was full of ideas, but he couldn't find the words to express them.

"No, who would use such a traditional way to ask for leave? Just send me a message." Dr. Fan, who had been looking around the school clinic, came out with a piece of paper in his hand, covered in flamboyant handwriting.

Thinking about Xi Congshuang's true identity, Dr. Fan was no longer surprised. If Xi Congshuang had skipped work that day, she would have just assumed that Xi Congshuang was in a hurry to go back to the company for a meeting and wouldn't want to play with a boring doctor like her.

Qi Qianqian glanced at it and immediately thought it was beautiful and quite elegant.

From her handwriting to her wording, it was all very much like Xi Congshuang's. At this time, she was completely unrelated to her previous playboy image, and it really made people realize the conspiracy theory of enduring humiliation that netizens were talking about.

Instructor Lin finally asked, bewildered, "Why... why is Assistant Xi taking my student away?"

Qi Qianqian chuckled inwardly, feeling a little smug.

It turns out that not only did she not know how to address Xi Congshuang, but even her teacher did.

Dr. Fan asked, puzzled, "She took your student away? What student did she take away?"

As she spoke, another piece of paper floated out from under the leave slip in her hand. Upon closer inspection, it was an "Application for Use of Secondary Differentiation Agent (alpha type)," with the signature "Xi Zhaoxue" in the corner.

This is because Xi Congshuang's name at the school is Xi Zhaoxue, and all her documents are under the name Xi Zhaoxue. The well-known name Xi Congshuang does not often appear in school-related documents, but rather in future pharmaceutical-related documents.

It's fortunate that she can distinguish which of the two names should be used.

It took Dr. Fan a while to remember who Xi Zhaoxue was.

Instructor Lin pointed to the application form: "Your assistant took away Tan Yicheng, who had been treated with the differentiation agent. She is my student. She suddenly underwent a second differentiation during class and was brought here to you... Don't be alarmed. She is fine now. She was taken away in a closed ward, which is very safe."

This time it was Dr. Fan's turn to be confused: "?"

She was utterly bewildered: "Why did she take your student away? Why didn't you stop her?"

Instructor Lin said aggrievedly, "Her attitude was so natural, I didn't think of anything for a moment, and now I'm bringing her back?"

Qi Qianqian felt it was time to put her to use. She coughed lightly and made her appearance, successfully stopping the two of them: "No need to look anymore, because Xi, Assistant Xi, is Tan Yicheng's girlfriend. She took Tan Yicheng away to take care of him as his girlfriend."

Everyone: "???"

Seeing everyone's blank and confused expressions, Qi Qianqian felt a subtle sense of smugness. Hmph, I'm not the only one who's shocked.

Qi Qianqian's frustration over the past two days instantly dissipated. What AB or AO love? If you like each other, you're a good couple: "It just so happens that Assistant Xi is a beta. I can take care of her closely these days, which can fill the void of sensitivity and loneliness that alphas experience after their second differentiation."

Shocked by one piece of news after another, the crowd actually felt that what she said made a lot of sense, so there was no need to look for it back.

Instructor Lin's expression returned to its blank state. He waved his hand and said, "What are you all standing there for? Go back now. Next month is the field training. Go back to training."

The students' muscle memory kicked in, and they instinctively obeyed the command and turned to leave.

Qi Qianqian walked slowly, and she could still hear the sounds coming from the school clinic as she stepped onto the stairs.

When did you get together?

"You're asking me? You don't know either?"

The two asked each other in unison, then stared at each other with wide eyes, both showing the same shock.

At this moment, Xi Congshuang, aboard the aircraft, was unaware that she was about to achieve fame during World War II.

*

After a long sleep, Tan Yicheng woke up and vaguely understood what it meant to be ignorant of the world.

I felt dizzy and hot, my body felt like it was falling apart, and I couldn't muster any strength.

Not only was she physically uncomfortable, but she was also severely dehydrated, like a salted fish that had been dried for eight hundred days. She could spit out a fireball as soon as she opened her mouth.

The first thing she did upon regaining consciousness was to look for water, and she did indeed make sounds as if she were searching for water.

"Water...give me water..."

The familiar, delicate fragrance drew closer. Someone helped the unconscious Tan Yicheng up, held a glass of water to her lips, and mumbled, "Drink."

Tan Yicheng was like a sponge that absorbed water; he drank more than half a cup in one gulp before pushing the cup away.

The person next to her readily put down their water glass and skillfully placed their palm on her forehead.

Still dazed, Tan Yicheng didn't think to refuse. After a while, she said slowly, "Thank you... Where is this?"

The surrounding smells, the blankets on her body, and the width of the bed she was on all proved that she was not in her own dormitory.

Her dormitory room had a 1.2-meter single bed, and she had to fold it into a neat square every morning. The blanket was thin and was provided by the school, which felt completely different from the soft blanket she was wearing.

"Don't mention it, this is my home." She answered Tan Yicheng's two questions.

Tan Yicheng: "..." That voice sounds so familiar.

The familiar voice opened the door to her memories, and all the memories rushed in, washing away her muddled mind. The dizziness she hadn't yet overcome due to the second differentiation period was swept away like a flood, leaving only clear-headed rationality.

"..."

She remembered everything, she raised her hands and slowly hugged her head.

She suddenly developed a fever during training, and the instructor noticed something was wrong. Several classmates grabbed her and took her to the school clinic. Then, while telling her a story about imprisonment, he kissed her...

Everything came back to me. It was such a shame that my memories were so useful, allowing me to recall everything perfectly, even the little detail of how I used to stare at Xi Congshuang's tear mole under her eye.

Where do Xi Congshuang get so many little stories all day long?

Shouldn't she be an elite who is aloof and indifferent, who wouldn't even glance at anything unrelated to work and would scoff at it, whose mind is full of work and efficiency, and who would coldly tell her subordinates, "If you can't produce results, then resign yourself"?

Aside from her work ethic and efficiency, Xi Congshuang is the complete opposite of what has been mentioned above.

She's not arrogant; her mind is full of trivial matters. She doesn't scoff; she actually enjoys watching. Not only will she not let her subordinates resign, but she will also arbitrarily increase their salaries according to her mood.

In her own words, "I don't lack money. Why complicate things when money can solve them?"

Money can move people's hearts. Why can't money cultivate loyal followers? Who would pledge loyalty to a miser if they weren't paid? Are they just bored?

Xi Congshuang watched quietly as Tan Yicheng clutched her head in anguish, considerately not interrupting her, allowing her to calm down on her own.

After a long while, Tan Yicheng finally composed herself and mustered the courage to look up.

They're all my girlfriends, I've kissed them and hugged them, so I'll just look at them openly.

Xi Congshuang sat in the sunlight and smiled at her.

Tan Yicheng: "..."

However, she couldn't help but look up as soon as she did so, unable to stop herself from looking at that fair and slender neck. The bite marks there had long since healed, but she clearly remembered the feeling of biting it.

She was incredibly stupid; she injected pheromones into her canine teeth in an attempt to temporarily mark herself.

Looking up again, Xi Congshuang touched her face and asked worriedly, "It's a little red. Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a fever again?"

She wanted to find a temperature measuring device, and if she still felt unwell, she would have to call the family doctor downstairs.

Before bringing Tan Yicheng home, she made sure Gloria was fully prepared to ensure that she could safely and smoothly get through this second differentiation period and wash away the shadows from before.

To avoid embarrassing herself again, Tan Yicheng quickly grabbed her hand: "No, no, I don't have a fever, don't call the doctor."

If a doctor were to examine her and diagnose her with the statement that "she is only blushing because she feels ashamed," Tan Yicheng would really open the window and jump out, leaving the beautiful Central Star behind.

Xi Congshuang hesitated: "But... are you really alright?"

Without a second thought, Tan Yicheng replied, "I'm fine."

Xi Congshuang: "But I'm worried about you."

Upon hearing the word "worry," the dazed thoughts that had just been cleared from his mind returned, firmly occupying the high ground and squeezing out his IQ. He was completely unaware when Xi Congshuang persuaded him to call the doctor in.

To be honest, the doctor was quite worried that the alpha during the differentiation period would be emotionally unstable, wary of any foreign creatures that intruded into her territory, and thus subconsciously engage in aggressive behavior.

When she came in carrying the medicine box, she almost couldn't find the alpha who was going through differentiation—you mean the one sitting on the bed, obedient and well-behaved, with a red face, is an alpha?

She sits on the large bed, wrapped in a blanket, and anyone who doesn't know her would think she's a beautiful porcelain doll.

The moment she thought about how the other person was a mecha-related alpha student in the differentiation phase, the pretty porcelain doll instantly transformed into a muscular Barbie, the kind that could be sent flying with a single punch.

With a professional smile, the doctor opened the medicine box and took Tan Yicheng's temperature at the bedside.

A few minutes later, she checked the results: "Your temperature is slightly elevated, but within the normal range. Temperatures are often unstable during differentiation. And since this is the first night, you might experience false estrus. Be careful to lower your temperature then... Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Tan Yicheng looked blank and numb. She never wanted to hear the term "false heat" a third time in her life. Every time she heard it, she felt endless embarrassment.

Xi Congshuang also looked over nervously, while Tan Yicheng could only shake her head, trying to convince herself to be strong: "It's okay."

After another blood test, the doctor looked a little strange. She said, "Your pheromone levels are uncertain, but they keep rising. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

The doctor asked again, and Tan Yicheng carefully felt his body. Apart from muscle soreness from overtraining, he didn't feel much else, so he shook his head again.

After a moment's consideration, the doctor suggested that Tan Yicheng should go to the hospital for a check-up after the differentiation period, as the examination equipment she had could not reveal much.

After saying that, the doctor picked up his medicine box and left.

Calling the doctor was helpful; I almost forgot about the issue of pseudoestrus during the differentiation phase.

On the bed in the school clinic, Tan Yicheng was in a false heat, biting and licking Xi Congshuang. It took a lot of effort to persuade the person who kept pestering her to go into the treatment pod. As a result, less than a minute after the pod door was closed, Tan Yicheng closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Successfully capturing youth is great; one can fall asleep instantly, demonstrating that leaving a differentiation-stage alpha alone in a room won't cause any problems; they'll simply recuperate while sleeping.

If there were other people around, the outcome would be different; alphas are truly creatures with highly sensitive five senses.

Xi Congshuang noticed her dry lips, poured her another glass of water, and placed her hand on her lips: "You're a little dehydrated, drink some more."

Without a second thought, Tan Yicheng opened her mouth and drank. Even after the empty cup was taken away, she didn't remember to take her hands out of the blanket.

Xi Congshuang, who was already meticulous, was unusually meticulous today, and she really treated Tan Yicheng with the same care as a porcelain doll. Tan Yicheng was still confused and did not know who was being affected by the shadow of the failed second differentiation.

Not long after, a housekeeping robot carrying food came in. The steaming aroma tantalized Tan Yicheng's taste buds, and she realized that she was starving.

I used to never understand what was so great about dating. I thought it was just a waste of time and space to be alone with someone else, and it seemed pointless.

She has always believed that it's better to spend time on self-improvement than on dating, and therefore refuses to date.

Every year at the Midsummer Night's Ball, which students call the "Singles' Day Ball," she would keep the omegas bored by reciting the introductory text, and win first place in the "Forever Single A Competition," a title she has never been surpassed since entering university.

Until she too stumbled over the stumbling block of love, and lay on the warm bed of love, so comfortable that she didn't want to get up anymore.

If Xi Congshuang weren't there, she would find a hotel, tell the front desk not to clean for five days, survive on the nutrient solution in the refrigerator for five days, and then continue to go back to school.

It really feels different to be taken care of; I haven't felt this way in years.

For the sake of the patient's health, the robot's menu today is relatively light, with a focus on a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.

Xi Congshuang walked around to the foot of the bed and sat on the other side. She picked up the bowl, blew on it to cool it down, and handed it to Tan Yicheng. Watching Tan Yicheng slowly eat, a sense of accomplishment inexplicably rose within her.

Having never taken care of anyone before, she was initially not very skilled and often made mistakes, either brushing the food against the lips or aiming incorrectly.

Fortunately, she learns things very quickly and soon became proficient.

Tan Yicheng leaned against the headboard, behaving very obediently. Xi Congshuang fed her, and she ate whatever was given to her, without being picky at all.

Listening to the soft clinking of bowls and chopsticks beside her ear, Tan Yicheng stared blankly at the person by the bedside. When a person is weak, they tend to reminisce about the past.

Tan Yicheng was no exception; she would always think of her mother at this time, and of the days before her mother got sick.

Back then, she didn't need to live on the muddy-tasting nutrient solution; she could eat hot and fresh food and looked forward to her mother bringing home something every day.

Since her death, Tan Yicheng's taste buds seem to have died as well. Perhaps she was too thoroughly poisoned by the muddy-tasting nutrient solution with its extremely long shelf life, and she has lost interest in any food. She will eat anything as long as it doesn't kill her and can fill her stomach.

As conditions gradually improved, I was able to buy more of the foods I had longed for but couldn't get as a child. I tried the most delicious foods from my memories again, but they all seemed so ordinary.

It was only then that I realized it wasn't that the food was particularly delicious, but rather that the feeling at that moment was irreplaceable.

As Xi Congshuang was ladling soup, she suddenly felt a weight on her back, and a pair of burning hands wrapped around her waist, like an octopus, clinging to her and refusing to let go.

It was a familiar action and feeling.

Xi Congshuang asked, "Hmm? Can't sit still?"

A cheeky voice came from behind: "Yeah, you can't sit still anymore, you need to be held to stay upright."

Xi Congshuang smiled silently, and was about to reply when she felt a rustling sound behind her. She got up, her clothes loose and soft, and whispered in Xi Congshuang's left ear, "I said I can't sit still, I need to hold you to stay still."

"Yes, I heard you. You can hold it." Xi Congshuang's hands kept moving.

Tan Yicheng looked over her shoulder at the tray the robot was carrying and said, "I think the food today is delicious."

Xi Congshuang seemed not to understand her meaning: "Then I'll send you the menu, and you can have the robot make it for you next time."

Why are you suddenly so clueless? Does a lack of romantic understanding spread through kissing?

After a moment of distress, Tan Yicheng rested his chin on her shoulder and said, "Hmm."

Xi Congshuang chuckled softly, turned her head and lightly pecked Tan Yicheng's lips. After a pause, Tan Yicheng followed suit and leaned over to kiss Xi Congshuang's lips as well.

She licked her lips and whispered, "Soft."

People who were just unhappy became visibly happy. Tan Yicheng said, "So this is what it feels like to have family."

[Fanfan] Dinner's ready! [Fanfan] Dinner's ready! [Fanfan]

Suddenly I remembered today is May 20th, wow! [rose emoji]
