Chapter 14

After a while.

The blankness and shock on Qiao You's face slowly disappeared.

He lowered his eyes to look at him, taking him in completely, his face still expressionless, but his voice was slightly deep: "I'm fine."

After a pause, he glanced at the boy's hand that was still covering his forearm, and then asked, "Why are you here?"

Lan Yexing's nose was filled with a familiar fragrance. He came to his senses and put his hand down, stunned for a moment: "I..."

What excuse can there be for this?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door and Qiao You's teammates came to call him to go on the court - the second half of the game was about to begin.

Qiao You replied briefly, then walked around Lan Yexing and went to the sofa. He leaned over, opened the sports bag, took out a woolen blanket, and threw it casually. The blanket fell squarely on Lan Yexing's head. The blanket hung down, covering Lan Yexing's head and upper body tightly.

For a moment, it was like a bride's veil falling.

Lan Yexing, who was lying in the blanket, didn't react at all: ".......?"

Qiao You had returned to Lan Yexing by then. He looked at the boy's funny look with interest, and a rare relaxed and casual smile appeared on his face. He said calmly, "I'm going to the competition, you can rest here."

“Water, snacks, blankets, TV, all are available.”

“If you have classes in the afternoon, at least wait until the ambulance comes and leaves before leaving.”

Lan Yexing frowned slightly: Ambulance?

Why did the ambulance come?

But before he could ask, the sound of footsteps and the door opening and closing was heard again - Qiao You left.

Lan Yexing took off the blanket that was stained with the scent of lime. He looked towards the door thoughtfully, his light-colored eyes full of confusion.

He asked, "Xiao Song, do you know what's going on?"

System: [Not sure. However, judging from what happened just now, Duan Chen's strategy was not successful, so the host's mission is also considered a success.]

Lan Yexing sighed softly: Although it was not clear what had happened, Qiao You was fine, and his goal had been achieved.

He completely relaxed, sat down on the sofa with a blanket and leaned back. After setting the alarm according to his afternoon class, he slowly closed his eyes.

He had been running around since last night, fainted in the morning due to an allergy to pheromones, and was extremely nervous just now, so he was indeed a little tired.

Even though the audience outside was still cheering, he soon fell into a light sleep.

Faintly, he seemed to hear the sound of an ambulance, and the passage outside the room seemed to be in chaos.

"Boss Duan, Boss Duan! Wake up!"

"Doctor, please check what's wrong with Mr. Duan? He's bleeding from all seven orifices and can't be woken up! Where's the person in charge here? Call him over!"

"Our General Manager Duan had just entered Qiao You's lounge for less than five minutes when something happened. I order you to call the student who was playing football over here! He must be sent to the police! If something happens to our General Manager Duan, can you afford the consequences?"

"I'm their coach, tell me what you want to say! Let's not discuss what Mr. Duan wanted to do by entering our players' lounge without permission. I'll tell you how absurd it is that you insist that Qiao You did something to him. Qiao You's original lounge had a power outage and the sofa was dirty, so he changed lounges temporarily! In other words, he went to a new lounge during the halftime break and never entered the room that your Mr. Duan entered. It's impossible for him to have seen your Mr. Duan!"

"Also, do you think that Mr. Duan is the only one with a strong background? Why don't you find out the status of our shabby school? Four out of five students hit by a brick in this area must have powerful backgrounds! Why are you so arrogant!"

…

Half an hour later, Lan Yexing, who had just finished catching up on his sleep, was woken up by the alarm clock and slowly opened his eyes.

The noise outside had died down.

The game seemed to be coming to an end, and the lounge was about to be drowned out by the screams and whistles. Lan Yexing quietly folded his blanket and placed it on the sofa, then got up and left the room.

Outside the venue, countless cheers resounded even more intensely throughout the space.

Lan Yexing stood in the player channel where light and shadow intertwined, looking at the green field in the distance. The sky was filled with beautiful colorful sequins. He saw the handsome blond young man being excitedly surrounded by his teammates. Even though there was a reluctant look of disgust on his cold face, he did not push everyone away.

It seems that the game is over and Qiao You and his team won.

A quiet, beautiful smile appeared on the boy's face. He stretched his body, turned and left.

…

The Department of Literature had a professional class at four o'clock in the afternoon. Lan Yexing arrived in the classroom on time, sat in his usual seat and opened the textbook.

Janes walked into the classroom, sat next to Lan Yexing naturally, and pulled his sleeve.

The gray curly-haired omega's eyes sparkled: "I heard that our school just won the football match and entered the top 16. As usual, the school will set off fireworks to celebrate. Let's go to the King's Lake to watch the fireworks after class and dinner!"

Fireworks...

Lan Yexing's eyes lit up and he was about to agree, but then he suddenly remembered something and said helplessly: "Sorry, I happened to be busy during that time." He had to climb over the wall and go home to see the cat every day.

Janes looked disappointed: "Okay."

Lan Yexing: "You can ask your cousin to go and see it."

Janes smiled and said, "That's right."

At this time, other students in the classroom were also discussing fireworks, occasionally mixing in some gossip:

"I heard that Yuan Ping from the business school is still in a coma. It's really weird. He has no wounds on his body, but he is missing three ribs. I heard that the Yuan family is going crazy and is desperately pressuring the school for an explanation."

"I think it's retribution. His Paradise Club has bullied so many people. I heard that the school has started investigating the club since he fainted and went to the hospital. But throwing ribs is too weird. Psychic power? I've never heard of this kind of psychic power before."

"Ha, you don't know what happened today, right? Mr. Duan from the Duan family is also very weird. He came to watch the game today, but he fainted for some reason and bled from all seven orifices. I heard that he is now undergoing an emergency examination at the best hospital, but no problems have been found so far! Even the old man from the Duan family was alarmed!"

"How did you know this highly confidential information?"

"Haha, one of the doctors in that hospital is from the family of the Duan family's mortal enemy. He would be eager to spread this news to everyone."

…

Janes listened to the news calmly, with a hint of boredom in his blue eyes. He said softly as if he was sighing, "Sometimes I think about it, it's really boring."

Lan Yexing looked at him.

Janes looked at him with a smile in her eyes. "Although my opinion is extremely minority among our group, I do often feel that the families of people like us, including the descendants of these families - for example, what some people including me are doing now, seem to be cursed by something."

Lan Yexing listened quietly without saying anything. He didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the class bell rang and the professor walked into the classroom, and the space suddenly became quiet.

Janes seemed to really like literature. He smiled at Lan Yexing, opened a thick notebook, and a focused look appeared on his face.

…

It was already evening after class. The setting sun descended upon the earth, burning the sky to an irregular crimson purple, with a few cold stars twinkling in it.

Lan Yexing and Janes said goodbye and were about to walk out of the school when the system's voice rang out: [At half past six, an alpha will half-kneel and confess to Qiao You under the big walnut tree by the King's Lake. Please ask the host to prevent this incident from happening. ]

The information he provided to Lan Yexing was more accurate than before.

Lan Yexing: “…”

He twitched his lips and decided to resolve this strategy incident before climbing over the wall and going home.

He resigned himself to his fate and changed direction, heading towards Lake Königssee - he had made up his mind to buy a bicycle next week.

Otherwise, running around various colleges every day in a campus as big as a town would be unbearable for anyone.

Lan Yexing walked on the road, stretching his body, and asked: "Do you know any information about this alpha?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the system sounded a little happy: [Yes. His mental power is spatial. His last name is Qi.] After it was upgraded, it could provide the host with more information than before.

But it doesn’t know more.

A hint of doubt appeared on Lan Yexing's face: Space.

Could this person be the friend of Duan Chen that Zhou Yanqiu mentioned?

Moreover, he now has no idea what kind of mental power space is, nor can he imagine to what extent a sufficiently strong spatial mental power can achieve.

Could it be that just as Zhou Yanqiu said, this kind of mental power can only create a small alien space to imprison people?

Without data and without seeing it with your own eyes, it is impossible to understand such things.

So Lan Yexing took note of these suspicious points and concentrated on his journey.

…

When we reached the King's Lake, the sunset had already set, leaving only a burning corner in the sky.

The deep blue night began to fall, and countless cold and bright stars had quietly risen.

Many students and teachers had gathered by the King's Lake, and countless young couples were sitting on the grass, holding hands or hugging each other, waiting for the fireworks to fall from the sky. The good seats were basically taken.

Some people even set up tents on the grass, as if they were determined to break the rules and not return to the dormitory to spend a night full of fireworks by the lake.

Lan Yexing was a little out of breath. When he saw the sparkling lake light, he checked the time on his watch: 6:20.

He didn't want to provoke this space psychic head-on for the time being, so he decided to start with Qiao You: as long as he pulled Qiao You away from the walnut tree in advance, the alpha wouldn't be able to find him, and this strategy incident would be resolved.

So Lan Yexing began to walk towards the big walnut tree - those walnut trees that were a bit remote, with dense horizontal branches and leaves that covered the sky, would block people's sight and were not conducive to watching the fireworks, so there were not many people under the tree.

Lan Yexing came to the empty tree, looked around and looked at his watch. It was six twenty-five.

But Qiao You hasn't come yet.

Instead, not far away, a tall, long-haired man was striding towards here with a large bouquet of roses. He looked to be in his twenties, wearing an expensive tuxedo, with his long hair tied behind his head with a silk headband, and a pair of round glasses without temples on his nose.

Lan Yexing: “…”

I can't be so unlucky that I have to face it head on today.

This person's mental power is somewhat special, and he wants to observe him in the dark.

He sighed softly and simply walked towards the man: he decided to try to trick him away.

When he reached the edge of the tree canopy, a large, bony hand patted his shoulder.

Lan Yexing's pupils shrank and he looked sideways.

With a "bang", the first cluster of fireworks of the night exploded in the air.

The blond young man stood there, and fireworks exploded in his green eyes at the same time - it was the first time that Lan Yexing saw so clearly what fireworks looked like when they were reflected in people's eyes.

Qiao You raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, his voice relaxed and casual, with a hint of teasing: "Junior brother, if I remember correctly, this is the third time we have met today. Do you have anything to say?"

Lan Yexing: “…” What can he say?

The Alpha holding the rose is getting closer and closer. If I leave now, I will definitely bump into him.

Lan Yexing twitched the corners of his mouth, and as if he had made up his mind, he pulled the young man's wrist hard for the second time. Amid the blank and surprised look on the other's face, he strode towards the back of the walnut tree.

Lan Yexing walked too fast and was tripped by a rock.

With a "bang", the two of them fell into the extremely dense bushes behind the tree.

Crackling, more brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky.
