Chapter 23 I won't hit anyone, even if I like someone a lot...
"Who are you?"
"I'm a student council patrol officer," Wen Han said cautiously. "We can't stay on campus any longer. Whatever your conflict is, why don't you resolve it tomorrow?"
"Oh?" The leader of the Alphas grinned maliciously. "So you're in cahoots with him. No wonder you've been hiding there for so long."
What group? Wen Han didn't understand.
"Stay there and don't move. Don't even think about going out to call for help." Seeing that they probably wouldn't punish her too, Wen Han obediently huddled there, hoping they would finish quickly.
The person who was hit was next to Wen Han and suddenly smiled.
This guy must be stunned. Wen Han realized that he was also an Alpha, and his face was covered by his hair.
The other person whispered, "Wen Han, why didn't you run away just now?"
Wait, that's a disgusting sound. Wen Han turned her head in surprise. Holy crap, it's Lin He!
Lin He wasn't nervous about the trouble he was in; instead, he continued to harass Wen Han with great interest, resting his head on his shoulder, a sweet, honey-like scent wafting towards him.
What is your relationship with him?
Wen Han wanted to stay three feet away from him: "I have absolutely no relationship with him!"
Lin He, injured, said, "Aren't we good friends?"
Wen Han said sincerely, "I met him for the first time yesterday, really!"
One Beta said, "You've only known him for two days, and he's already so familiar with you?"
Wen Han was about to break down. It was clearly him who was the one who got to know me!
The leader of the Alphas paused for a moment before saying, "He probably wasn't lying. Lin He is that kind of scoundrel."
Wen Han was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.
He took a drag of his cigarette, stared at Wen Han for a moment, and said, "Let him go."
If it were someone else who was being beaten, Wen Han would think that the other person was being bullied, but since the target was Lin He, Wen Han would only think that it was his retribution. Besides, Lin He had offended far more people than anyone else, so even if he wanted to take revenge on Wen Han, he wouldn't be among them. Wen Han even suspected that the system had made a mistake.
He abandoned Lin He and tried to run away, but before he could take a step, Lin He grabbed his leg and he stumbled.
"Damn it!" he couldn't help but curse aloud, "Why are you dragging others down with you?"
Lin He didn't speak, he just hugged his leg.
"I've changed my mind." The Alpha suddenly grabbed Wen Han by the collar. "You probably dislike him too, right?"
Wen Han had a bad feeling.
Alpha lifted Wen Han's hand and gently patted Lin He's cheek twice. Wen Han's wrist was gripped tightly by him, and she could only watch helplessly.
"Will you hit someone?"
Lin He still smiled at him, his eyes still shining brightly in the darkness, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. Wen Han swallowed: "No."
Alpha threatened, "How could anyone not know how to fight?"
"You're lying, why?"
If Wen Han didn't hit Lin He, she would probably be the one getting hit later, so she had no choice but to reach out and lightly pat Lin He on the head.
He whispered, "Can I go now?"
The Alpha crouched down and whispered, "Do you think I'm playing games with you?"
The pheromones were even stronger. Wen Han was caught off guard and kicked, then her neck was grabbed. The person used a hard grip; if he weren't a Beta, his glands would definitely be injured.
"Aww!"
Alpha hesitated, "Not an Omega?"
"Big brother, I'm a Beta." Wen Han couldn't take it anymore. "Can't you just settle your scores without dragging others into this?"
The other person awkwardly let go of his hand: "Sorry, I thought you were his—"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly collapsed.
Wen Han: "?"
Is there poison on his neck? He collapses at the slightest touch.
Not only this Alpha, but the others also fell to the ground one after another. Only the two Betas were still standing there, not understanding what was going on.
"Hey, Lin He, what's going on?" Wen Han gave him a push. Lin He was still awake, but his expression wasn't good.
"Wen Han, are you alright?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Han asked happily, "Jing Yu, how did you find this place?"
Jing Yu succinctly stated: "Pheromone."
"Oh. What happened to them? Should we take them to the hospital?"
"No need." Jing Yu looked at the Alphas lying on the ground, "They'll be fine in about fifteen minutes."
Wen Han said nervously, "Then let's go quickly."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What about Lin He?"
“He can walk.” Jing Yu pulled Wen Han back. “He is not unconscious.”
Wen Han asked curiously, "But why is he not moving at all right now?"
Jing Yu glanced at Lin He indifferently, and when Wen Han turned her head, she raised a gentle smile: "Let's hurry up and go."
"Um."

Wen Han said with lingering fear, "I should have slipped away as soon as I realized something was wrong."
"Speaking of which, Lin He was quite popular at first." During the first year of high school military training, Lin He had not yet revealed his true form. In the eyes of some students, he was a helpful and handsome Alpha, which naturally attracted the hearts of many students.
"Back then, there was a Beta who had a crush on him. Guess why?"
Jing Yu thought for a moment: "Because of the different attitude towards him?"
"Wow, how did you guess that?" Wen Han asked in surprise. "Back then, quite a few pretty Omegas were pursuing him, but he rejected them all. Instead, he became good friends with the most inconspicuous Beta in the class and would flirt with her from time to time."
Wen Han continued, "That Beta thought Lin He really liked him, and gradually fell in love with him too, even writing down her feelings on the forum."
What if my crush might like me?
"He thought nobody read the forum, but it turned out everyone in the class except him knew about it. Lin He was just playing with him, and everyone was laughing at him. In the end, that Beta mustered up the courage to confess to Lin He, but was ridiculed by Lin He and eventually dropped out of school because he couldn't take it anymore."
"Even if you like someone a lot, you shouldn't say it out loud," Wen Han said casually. "Who knows what the other person's purpose is?"
A rustling sound came from the corner. Wen Han looked closely and saw a couple from the campus kissing. Perfect timing, she hadn't finished her KPI for the day.
The student council gave them basic mobile phones specifically for taking pictures. Wen Han snapped a photo and asked, "Which class are you from?"
The young couple was startled. The Alpha was actually hiding behind the Omega. The Omega pleaded, "Please, can you pretend you didn't see us? We won't date at school anymore."
Wen Han pointed and said, "You stand over there first, Alpha, come over and take a picture!"
Why is he allowed to not take photos?
When disaster strikes, everyone scatters. Wen Han suspected that the school was doing this to create conflict so that these young couples would break up on their own.
"You still have the nerve to ask? When trouble comes, you hide behind an Omega. Have you no shame?" Wen Han said to the Omega. "It's one thing that you can't date at school, but even if you do, you should open your eyes wide."
Fortunately, the Omega didn't say anything like "You're not allowed to talk about my boyfriend." After Wen Han finished taking the photos, Jing Yu went to register for his class, and that's when Wen Han noticed that Jing Yu had a band-aid on the back of his neck.
"How did you get hurt? You were perfectly fine when you left school."
Jing Yu covered her wound and smiled, "It's nothing, I just accidentally scratched myself."
——
A flower shop opened at the entrance of the residential area and is having a promotion where you can get flowers by scanning a QR code. The shop assistant called out to Wen Han, "You can get flowers by scanning the QR code!"
"I don't have a cell phone." And who would want a chrysanthemum?
The scents of various flowers mingled together, and Wen Han's heart stirred when she saw the lilies in the corner.
How much is this one?
"Five yuan a stick, very cheap!"
Wen Han bought one, and the shop assistant asked, "Do you have a cat at home?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Ah, be careful if you keep a cat, lilies are highly poisonous to cats."
"Oh dear, Xiao Huang, why aren't you wearing gloves?" the shop manager frowned. "I've told you so many times, lily of the valley is poisonous. What if you forget to wash your hands?"
Wen Han asked curiously, "How can you sell something that's poisonous?"
The shop assistant smiled and explained, "The entire lily of the valley plant is poisonous, but the fragrance is not poisonous; it smells wonderful."
The flower shop had all sorts of fragrances, and Wen Han couldn't distinguish any of them.
Wen Han walked a long way before finally smelling the lily in her arms.
"Host, do you like this scent?"
“My mother’s pheromones are lilies.” Wen Han lowered her eyes. “At that time, I hadn’t differentiated yet, and I was curious about what the fragrance was, so my mother bought a bunch of lilies for me to smell.”
“I don’t have a mother,” the system said. “But I have a teacher who guides me. I’m the one with the worst grades, but my teacher still gave me strawberry chocolates to encourage me.”
After that, no one spoke again.

When they got home, Wen Ruo and Wen Ruan had already washed up. With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, Wen Qingke's company gave out early benefits, which were still a small box of exquisite French pastries.
Last Mid-Autumn Festival, Wen Qingke secretly gave all the pastries to Wen Ruan, guarding against Wen Han like a thief, afraid that he would cause trouble. Wen Han waited until Wen Ruan finished eating before taking out the empty pastry box, putting it in a gift bag and taking it to his grandparents' house, saying it was a benefit from his father's company and he brought it to his grandparents to eat. He opened it in front of everyone to embarrass Wen Qingke.
Wen Ruan's mother is a master pastry chef, and that's why Wen Qingke gave the pastries to Wen Ruan. Seeing Wen Han return, he smiled and said, "Hanhan, you're back. Everyone's been waiting for you to come back so we can eat together."
Wen Han rolled her eyes: "You guys can eat it yourselves in secret, why are you telling me?"
Wen Ruo kept a cold expression until he saw the lilies in Wen Han's hand, at which point he paused in surprise.
Wen Qingke felt a little embarrassed and guilty: "Come and try it. You must be hungry after all the hard work at school."
Looking at the pastries on the table, Wen Han changed her mind again: "Then let's not eat any of them. We can give them to Grandma and the others during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
He chuckled. "After all, we sent an empty box last time. We can't afford to embarrass ourselves like that this time."
