Chapter 12: Childhood sweethearts close the triangle?
There was no way. Ye Xing knew that a large part of the plot had already been determined. If there were multiple branch lines, they would be chosen by the players, so it was not his turn to worry about it.
But that doesn't mean he won't be angry. What's wrong with that unlucky kid? Did he deliberately betray his teammates?
"Teacher, I, I was wrong, okay?" The little Omega tugged at the corner of Ye Xuan's clothes with a flattering smile, as if he realized that what he had done was not right.
Ye Xing sneered: "Tell me, what's wrong?"
This naughty child is spoiled, always doing "bad things" on his own without consulting adults. He went for surgery and this time too. It's time to talk to his family.
Ye Xuan completely forgot that he was still angry yesterday about being treated as an "elder" by an Omega who was only a few years younger than him. Now he treated the other party like a child.
“Teacher, I shouldn’t have told my brother about the surgery in advance. I couldn’t explain it clearly over the phone and he scolded me again.” The little Omega blinked his big watery eyes, his face full of “seeking comfort”.
Ye Xuan pushed the other person away in annoyance: "Come on, stop looking at me pitifully like that. I, your teacher, have a heart of stone."
"Tsk, didn't I already apologize? You better accept my apology and don't be ungrateful." The young Omega's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but wonder if this person had a split personality. One second he was a poor little thing, and the next second...
He is indeed a naughty kid who needs education.
…
The tall Alpha, who looked to be less than 30 years old, hurriedly got out of the expensive and low-key car. When the family servant saw him, he walked forward to park the car. The servant was a little surprised and uneasy about the Alpha's hurry today.
Normally, when the young master comes home, he is quite relaxed. What happened today?
Alpha didn't notice the servant's worried look, he was only thinking about his younger brother.
He actually wants to make the decision on his own for such a big matter. It seems that he has been spoiled too much over the years.
If Ye Xing understood Alpha's inner thoughts, he would definitely say "we think alike".
As soon as Alpha entered the room, he saw his younger brother chatting with a stranger. He frowned warily and interrupted them: "What are you talking about?"
"Brother!" the young Omega called out crisply.
The elder brother looked at his younger brother who looked like a puppy wagging its tail, and his brows relaxed: "Please introduce the person next to you."
Although it is a declarative sentence, the tone is a bit stiff and seems fierce.
But the younger brother was already accustomed to his brother's way of speaking, and seeing that the latter was not as angry as when he called, he decided to tell the truth directly.
As soon as Ye Xuan realized something was wrong, he stopped the young Omega who was about to speak and said to the Alpha, "It's like this. Your brother came to our medical institution for consultation yesterday. He wanted to have an Omega gland surgery. I saw that he was not very old, so I told him that it would be best to discuss it with his family before making a decision."
"I'm sorry to trouble you." This Alpha was more polite than Ye Xuan had imagined. He knew right away that the problem was with his younger brother.
It doesn't seem like it. In a sense, the little Omega is the victim.
Ye Xuan was thinking about how to introduce the topic in this situation. The elder brother stared at the younger brother without saying a word, and the younger brother lowered his head almost into the sofa.
In short, the atmosphere became silent and awkward.
Ye Xuan discovered that all the NPCs except his brother were gone. You could hear a pin drop in the living room. Only he, an employee, and the player were sitting there.
This time there will be no one like Dr. Wang who can adjust the atmosphere, so he has to break the "deadlock".
"Your brother is still a student. The average age of the Omegas who come to us for surgery is much older than him. They all have their own difficulties, otherwise they wouldn't be so hard on their own bodies." Ye Xing said tentatively.
The elder brother walked over to his younger brother and touched the little Omega's head. The already tall Alpha brought a strong sense of oppression to the two Omegas sitting there.
"My brother is young and ignorant. He loses his senses after listening to other people's advice and does a lot of stupid things when he gets excited." There was a hint of doting in his tone.
Ye Xing felt relieved when he saw that the young Omega didn't interrupt him. "You should be able to distinguish right from wrong in your twenties. If you make the wrong friends, it will be bad."
He doesn't really want to meddle in other people's family affairs, but the player is the most important person in his work, so the player character is also an important person.
That requires a few more words.
"Xiao Ou, who told you about the surgery?" The older brother stood behind the sofa, leaning down and looking at the top of his brother's head.
The younger brother still lowered his head, and his muffled voice floated into the ears of the other two: "It was Xiaomi, and it was also the medical institution he recommended to me."
Xiaoou? Xiaomi? Just Omega? Such a random name, the planner really didn't put much thought into it, right?
"Then why would he tell you this? Did you say something to him first?" The older brother patiently guided his younger brother to tell the truth himself.
"I, I said you want to send me to a marriage alliance..." The little Omega gradually started to cry, "Brother, I don't want to go, I don't want to marry that person - Brother, I beg you!"
The elder brother sighed: "I can't help it, Xiao Ou. I have helped you a lot over the years. Isn't it normal for you to give back?"
"Family, is there any need for us to talk about rewards or not?" The little Omega cried so hard that he slid off the sofa and fell onto the wooden floor.
The elder brother picked up his younger brother and walked towards the stairs. Before going upstairs, he turned back to look at Ye Xuan and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Ye Xuan looked at the young Omega who looked even smaller in the arms of the tall Alpha. Xiao Ou had actually cried so much that he fainted. It made people wonder if he was pretending or was made of paper.
Now, what is going on? Everyone has left. Who should I, a real-life NPC, perform for?
Fortunately, not long after, Alpha returned to the living room and sat on the single sofa next to Ye Xuan.
"My brother may not be wary of strangers, and you may just be genuinely kind-hearted." Alpha was emotionally unstable at the moment, but he still tried his best to control himself from leaking any pheromones.
"I don't want some strange people to appear around my brother - maybe it may offend you to say this, but you have to understand that a brother who loves his younger brother will make malicious speculations about his younger brother." Alpha looked at Ye Xuan carefully, and the latter was horrified by this look.
Ye Xuan picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip of the tea that had long gone cold to hide his nervousness.
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Alpha continued, "What my brother said to you is only from his perspective. You don't know how difficult it is for us. He is an Omega. He can't stay at home forever. He has to get married. Since he wants to get married, he naturally has to choose someone of equal status. Otherwise, as delicate as he is, he will definitely cry if he is treated unfairly."
"He said, you are doing it for money." Ye Xuan rubbed the patterns on the teacup with his fingers.
Alpha laughed at himself: "The betrothal gift from that family was indeed too much, it was because the child from that family liked my brother. My brother didn't believe it and said that we were all bribed by that family's money and that person must want to harm him."
"I think that kid is not bad. He is the same age as my brother and was once a classmate. Besides, there are many people who like him, not to mention Omegas, betas, and even Alphas." He casually cited a recent example, "Xiaomi - you have heard my brother talk about him - likes that kid and even had a quarrel with my brother because of it."
Really, a closed triangle?
This level of melodrama is really too ridiculous.
…
"You mean, my brother likes Xiaomi, so he wants to have a gland removal surgery and yearns for free love." After listening to this, Alpha also briefly summarized the information he knew from Xiaoou, with a conflicted expression.
Ye Xuan also sighed sincerely: "Yes, I hope that all three children can find their own happiness, but I can't ask them to go--"
"Stop talking." The brother interrupted the other person. He just wanted to be alone so that he could digest the information he had just learned.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. Can I go upstairs to see how your brother is doing?" Ye Xuan asked cautiously.
Alpha was now very irritated, and his pheromones were almost uncontrollable. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Ye Xuan remembered the location of Xiao Ou's room during his previous visit and walked there smoothly without seeing any NPCs in the process.
Strange thing.
"Knock, knock, knock." Ye Xuan knocked on the door. "It's me."
"Teacher, please come in." The voice coming through the wooden door was unclear, but it was definitely not the crying voice that Xiao Ou made before she fainted.
Ye Xuan turned the door handle; the door was not locked and opened easily.
The room was quite large, and there were a lot of things placed in it, so it didn't look empty. The bed was very big, and it was probably easy for five or six people to lie side by side. There was a big bulge in the quilt, and I guess it was a crying child.
"Your brother said that they don't want to sell you, but just want you to have a good, uh, good 'place to go' in the future." Ye Xuan said a few words selectively, praising the Alpha he had never met like a salesman.
Xiao Ou was still buried in the "barrier" formed by the quilt, and said: "How could that person like me? It's more like he hates me."
Ye Xing felt that this might be a breakthrough. If there was a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be enough to clarify it?
So what is the point of playing this game? Do you play this real NPC?
Ye Xuan has never played this game himself, so it is not right to unilaterally judge that it is not fun, but he is angry. He is so angry that he can write a 500-word essay to criticize his own company's game.
The conversations between the player character and other NPCs are less than the conversations between him, a real NPC, and them. Are you a cloud player who is watching the game live?
Ye Xuan completely forgot that he could learn from the live broadcast of the anchor player. He only complained a few words in his heart and continued to say to the young master wrapped in the quilt: "Why would he 'hold a grudge' against you for no reason? What conflicts did you have before?"
"Teacher, you should have heard from my brother. We were classmates before," the little Omega said in a muffled voice under the quilt. Ye Xing was worried that the other party would be unable to catch his breath. "From kindergarten to high school, even if he and I were not in the same class, we were less than three minutes away from each other. We would see each other every time we looked up and down."
Can these three children be considered childhood sweethearts?
