Chapter 11

Qiao You's behavior just now was so unlike Qiao You, and his attitude was so calm and natural that Lan Yexing was a little confused. He stared at him for a long time before he managed to say, "It's shameful to waste food."

Qiao You continued to look at him: "You are right."

Lan Yexing's eyebrows twitched obscurely: "And you can't just throw away the things my friend gave me--"

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of several cars hastily stopping could be heard from downstairs, followed by more footsteps coming closer and closer.

Lan Yexing quickly stopped talking and held his breath. He and Qiao You looked at each other: the Yuan family and the ambulance seemed to have arrived.

The corridor outside soon began to be filled with the sound of noisy and hurried footsteps, mixed with the calm inquiries of medical staff.

They seemed to be carrying the unconscious Yuan Ping out on a stretcher.

After a while, the sound disappeared completely, and the entire building fell into pure darkness and silence - the ambulance should have taken Yuan Ping away.

There should be no one in this building who needs to be guarded against right now.

Only then did Lan Yexing heave a sigh of relief and completely relax.

He didn't have time to ask about the cookies anymore. He just stood up and walked out, saying, "Senior, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Please do as you please."

I don't know what happened to the omega on the roof who was about to jump off the building.

Qiao You looked at his empty arms thoughtfully, but followed him, contrary to his usual behavior.

Lan Yexing did not chase him away when he saw this. Instead, he walked up the stairs quickly and neatly while asking, "Did you mess up Yuan Ping like that? Those three ribs are Yuan Ping's, right?"

"Is that your mental power?"

Otherwise he really didn't understand why Qiao You appeared here.

The blond young man's hands, which were wrapped in gauze because of the pet shop incident, hung down by his body. He did not answer, but just smiled slightly.

Lan Yexing knew that he had guessed everything right, and he immediately reacted: "The person behind the pet shop incident was Yuan Ping?!" In this case, Qiao You's revenge tonight was normal.

Janes said that the Paradise Society founded by Yuanping also included gangsters outside the school, so it was not surprising that he could find social personnel to do this.

However, he really couldn't imagine that Yuan Ping would retaliate against him in that way just because he refused to join the society; just because he was rejected in his pursuit of Qiao You, he would think of a way to force Qiao You to submit by hurting the relatives Qiao You cared about most.

Just because of a trivial matter, that scumbag wanted to harm two people's lives.

No wonder Janes said he was crazy and illogical.

Not to mention that Qiao You used this method to retaliate against him, even someone like him who thought he had a good temper now wanted to beat that guy up.

At this time, Qiao You calmly looked at the young man with a cold face and said indifferently: "That fire was also his doing." He risked the lives of Lan Yexing and another civilian omega, and was willing to damage the interests of the family in order to cause the fire, just to teach his illegitimate brother a lesson.

Yuan Ping just didn't expect that he was also in that warehouse at that time, so Yuan Ping expected that the controllable losses of the Yuan family would increase by at least ten times.

Lan Yexing's pupils shrank - what a scumbag who deserves to go to jail forever.

By now they had reached the stairs to the top floor of the building, and the door leading to the rooftop was just a few steps above.

Lan Yexing stopped, turned to look at the blond young man and said, "Senior, can you ask why you are following me?" Does Qiao You have something else to do here tonight?

Qiao You smiled: "Curious." It was just because of the rare curiosity that arose.

Lan Yexing: “.”

He sighed softly, looked directly into those green eyes, and said seriously: "There is a person on the rooftop who is about to jump off the building. I want to save him."

Lan Yexing spoke quickly: "There is no surveillance in this building. I believe that you did not expose yourself to Yuan Ping and his accomplices when you attacked him, so no one except you and I should know about this."

"You shouldn't let the people on the rooftop know that you're here tonight, so don't follow me and leave."

After saying this, without waiting for the other party to answer, Lan Yexing strode onto the last few steps, slowly pushed open the door leading to the rooftop, and stepped in.

…

The figure of the blond young man was completely hidden in the darkness. After the young man's back completely disappeared, he smiled and looked towards the direction of the rooftop gate. His green eyes were shining dangerously in the darkness.

He came here tonight not just for revenge, but also for... research and experiments.

He did not pull out Yuan Ping's three ribs, but rather all his organs. When he reassembled them, he deliberately left out three ribs as revenge for the other party's attack on his old man and Lan Yexing.

He had decided to do this when he first met Yuan Ping in that restaurant a month ago.

After all, ordinary pheromones can only affect alpha and omega pheromones at most, and people with pheromones that can affect mental power are actually rare. He really wants to find the clues he has always wanted among them - for example, what exactly is the relationship between the production of mental power that only some people can possess.

Qiao You stared straight at the door a few steps up, with a smile on his face: If that boy knew the whole truth of the matter, would he... be afraid of him?

…

The other side of the door.

Lan Yexing stood on the rooftop in the cold wind, looking at the figure standing on the edge in the distance, his expression stiff.

It was a back that looked a little weathered and hunched.

The omega had messy hair and was not wearing a school uniform but a white coat. He did not look like a student. He had a lit cigarette in his lowered hand and looked extremely depressed.

Lan Yexing slowed his breathing and approached quietly with light steps. When he was one or two meters away, he concentrated the system's current under his feet, sucking the ground containing steel bars to stabilize his steps as much as possible to ensure safety. Then he strode to the edge of the roof, suddenly hugged the man's waist and fell backwards.

Just when the lit cigarette in the man's hand was about to accidentally burn the back of Lan Yexing's hand, it suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

With a "bang", the two of them fell backwards to the ground.

An uncle's voice sounded in panic: "Fuck - Hey - who are you? Are you a ghost?"

Lan Yexing twitched his lips and stood up to look at the man on the ground: "I am a human."

After a pause, he tried to comfort the other person: "Love is only a small part of life. There is no need to jump off a building here in the middle of the night just for it."

The unshaven uncle stared in astonishment at the strange student who suddenly appeared here and whose face was as pretty as a ghost. After a while, he broke down and shouted, "Who do you think jumped off a building for love?"

"Stop looking down on adults who are working hard to make a living, classmate!"

Lan Yexing blinked and was startled: "Didn't you jump off the building to chase someone?"

The uncle twitched his lips and wiped his face, then sighed: "No - of course, that bastard Yuanping did force me to jump off a building to attract someone's attention." That stupid scumbag was simply amazing. He said that he wanted to test whether the person he wanted to pursue was the type who would jump off a building for him. On the other hand, he could also intimidate that person and force him to submit.

However, the person who forced him to go to the rooftop and later forced him to jump off the building was hurriedly called away halfway, and it seemed that something had happened to Yuanping.

So if he wanted to come down later, he could actually go back to sleep directly.

Lan Yexing: "Then why did you--" He was hesitating whether to pry into other people's privacy.

The uncle looked at Lan Yexing for a long while and sighed heavily. He really needed to talk now. He also felt that tonight's encounter was a kind of fate, so he said, "My name is Yang Qing, and I am one of the researchers who was recruited by Xingdu University half a year ago."

Lan Yexing was stunned: he suddenly remembered the business card that Doctor Xi Jing gave him.

Yang Qing didn't notice Lan Yexing's strangeness, but continued: "After signing the contract with Xingdu University, Yuan Ping suddenly parachuted into our team and forced us to change our research direction and do another project. We are all ordinary people and cannot afford the penalty for breach of contract. We can only put down our original project and do a new one."

"Some time ago, the new project I led finally succeeded. It was a special medicine for a certain difficult disease. That scumbag Yuan Ping came in as the first author and took away all the results of the project. He also forced me to join this messed up club, and tonight he forced me to jump off the building."

"I was just standing by the building, and the cold wind made me feel a little dizzy. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that life was meaningless. But after you stopped me, I became much more sober. If I died, wouldn't that be exactly what that scumbag wanted?"

"So," Yang Qing looked at the boy and smiled, "Thank you very much, little classmate."

Lan Yexing was silent for a moment, then sat down beside the man with his knees hugged.

He looked at the dark sky in the distance, his soft hair blown by the cold wind. He said softly, "Yuan Ping is now missing three ribs. He probably won't be able to come to school for a long time, and he won't have the energy to harass and suppress you. Do you want to use this time to try to take back your achievements?"

Yang Qing was stunned, he looked up at the sky and smiled: "Then I'll try." That idiot really deserved it, and I don't know who is doing justice for the heaven.

After a pause, he looked at the boy and said, "Little classmate, what's your name?"

Boy: "Lan Yexing."

Yang Qing's eyes widened: "Ah, you are the student that Senior Sister Xi Jing mentioned who is allergic to pheromones during the susceptible period!"

Lan Yexing blinked: "It's me."

Yang Qing uttered an “ah” and pulled at his weed-like hair, saying, “You can come to see me anytime in the future, either in the laboratory of Room 301 in the old building of the medical school, or in your school hospital. I work part-time as a school doctor in the school hospital. Senior should have given you the contact information.”

Lan Yexing nodded and thanked him earnestly, then stood up and looked at the man: "Then let's leave here, I want to get a good night's sleep tonight."

Yang Qing nodded, stood up, and walked towards the door with him.

Behind the door, the tall, handsome, blond young man was still hidden in the darkness. He was holding the cigarette that he had [pulled out] here before it was about to burn the boy with a tissue under his hand, with a look of disgust on his face. The moment he heard footsteps on the rooftop, he turned around and left quietly.

…

After parting with Yang Qing, Lan Yexing couldn't return to the dormitory, so he climbed over the wall to leave the school and found a hotel nearby to stay for the night.

Before dawn the next day, he avoided surveillance and sneaked back to the school. After putting Jiang Xiaozhou's car back in its place, he went to a nearby restaurant.

During breakfast, Janes sat down naturally opposite him with a tray containing breakfast and a box of exquisite cookies. He smiled sweetly at the boy: "Good morning, Xiaoxing."

Lan Yexing: "Morning."

As he said this, he took out the collection of short stories he bought at the bookstore that morning and handed it to the other party: "This is a return gift for the cookies."

His friend prepared something thoughtful for him, so he should reciprocate.

He remembered that Janes had said in a professional class that he liked this writer very much.

Janes blue eyes sparkled, and he happily took it and said, "Thank you, I like it very much!"

Lan Yexing said you're welcome and was about to confess to the other party that the cookies were lost due to an accident, when he was stunned when he saw the card on Janes's plate box: it said "To Senior Qiao You".

The system has not yet released the task, which means Janes has not yet determined the time to send it out.

Janes, who was completely unaware of the existence of the system, saw Lan Yexing looking at the card and blinked: "These are purchased cookies. The ones for you are made by me."

Lan Yexing: “Huh?”

Janes was still smiling, his eyes fixed on the iron box, his eyes were inexplicably cold, he said calmly: "The matter of pursuing Senior Qiao You and the company affairs that my family has begun to put pressure on me must be completely separated from my private life."

He smiled sweetly, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "This is my last bottom line."

Lan Yexing was startled. Just as he was about to say something, he felt a slight numbing click on his right wrist. He looked down at the text on the dial:

[This morning, after the target character Qiao You finishes his morning football training, he will encounter an omega in his professional class who is in the susceptible period and asks him to mark him. Please stop this strategy event as soon as possible.]

Lan Yexing: “…”

It's very dangerous for omegas in this world to be in a susceptible state!

How could someone pursue someone in such a self-deprecating way?

Lan Yexing quickly finished his breakfast and then stood up suddenly.

Janes looked at him in surprise: "Xiaoxing?"

Lan Yexing picked up the empty plate and said sincerely, "Sorry, I have something to do. I have to leave first."

Janes blinked and said, "Well, go get busy then."

After walking a few steps, Lan Yexing remembered something and turned back to Janes. He said helplessly and a little embarrassedly: "Janes, do you have any extra inhibitors? Can you lend me one?"
