Chapter 43 A Tangle of Mess Not Just an Alpha Killer, a Beta...
If you were to ask Wen Han what kind of person he dislikes the most, he could answer without hesitation: someone with a love-obsessed mind.
Wen Ruan is love-struck, Gu Cheng is love-struck, Zhang Huihui is love-struck... Whenever Wen Han wonders if he's being too prejudiced, a particularly annoying love-struck person suddenly pops up, acting like they've lost their mind. Wen Han has always lacked the patience for these kinds of people, and the only love-struck person who currently earns his patience is his childhood friend, Fang Songxia.
Dealing with Zhang Huihui was a piece of cake for Wen Han. Jing Yu was pushed back by Wen Han to avoid being accidentally hurt, and as soon as she stretched out her leg, Zhang Huihui fell to the ground.
Wen Han sighed: "What can I say to you? You keep losing, but you keep trying. Putting aside your brain problems, you can't beat me at all, so why do you insist on putting on a brave face and losing face?"
Zhang Huihui should be thankful that Lin He is just a scoundrel who plays with emotions and has no interest in money. Otherwise, she would have been deceived both emotionally and financially, which would have been even worse.
"You...did you do this?"
Having caused so much trouble, Wen Han didn't immediately know which one he was referring to.
He glanced at the time. Lin He was definitely too lazy to get up early to wait for Zhang Huihui to break up with him. He might just resort to the silent treatment. Zhang Huihui was probably referring to the incident where Lin He's enemies came looking for him.
“They asked me who Lin He’s boyfriend is,” Wen Han asked. “So I said you. Did you want me to say someone else? You should have said so earlier.”
"Of course it's me! Who else do you want to say!" Zhang Huihui's eyes were filled with tears, her expression resentful. "Don't think I don't know, you did it on purpose, didn't you? You deliberately told them I was Lin He's boyfriend!"
...Zhang Huihui's brain isn't a single-celled organism after all. Wen Han scoffed, "Yeah, I did it on purpose. You could have just denied it directly. Why did you go out of your way to vouch for me?"
Wen Han looked down at him and said, "I didn't hit you, so why are you crying? Save your tears." The breakup will only make things worse.
Wen Ruan seemed dazed. Zhang Huihui cried twice, but seeing that Wen Ruan was still sitting in his seat without any reaction, she said anxiously, "Wen Ruan, look at him."
Wen Ruan finally realized what was happening, but he was too busy taking care of himself. Besides, Zhang Huihui wasn't very smart, and Lin He himself wasn't a good person. So what was the use of blaming Wen Han?
He said softly, "Forget it, don't argue with him."
"What? He—" Zhang Huihui wiped away her tears, looking like she was determined to get back at him. Wen Han said coldly, "Zhang Huihui, I haven't even settled the score with you for spreading rumors about me. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Zhang Huihui sat on the ground, pursing her lips and remaining silent, trying to play dumb and gain sympathy, but the people around her were either doing their own thing or watching the spectacle.
Just then, the student council came to check on the morning self-study session. Lin He was chatting with the person next to him, who was a very beautiful Omega. Lin He flirted and joked with her like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, but the other person seemed to know what kind of person Lin He was and was very indifferent, which made Wen Han breathe a sigh of relief for him.
Yang Lanjun excitedly pulled Wen Han: "Hey, he's the Omega senior I told you about who likes Gu Cheng."
She looked both gentle and beautiful. Wen Han and Yang Lanjun sighed repeatedly, feeling regretful and heartbroken. Why did she have to fall for Gu Cheng?
Zhang Huihui stopped crying abruptly, his eyes filled with flames of anger and jealousy. Wen Han was a Beta like him, and he could still console himself by thinking that Wen Han had used some tricks, but this Omega was so beautiful; it was obvious that Lin He had been clinging to her.
"Who are you!" Zhang Huihui rushed up and questioned the person. Wen Han was so embarrassed by this ridiculous scene that she dared not watch any longer.
Although that Omega senior was gentle, he wasn't without a temper. Seeing Zhang Huihui's rude attitude, he said calmly, "Why should I tell you?"
Lin He stood between the two, feeling somewhat annoyed. He thought to himself that if he had known Zhang Huihui would be so troublesome, he shouldn't have agreed in the first place.
“We’ve already broken up,” Lin He said curtly. “What’s the point of you doing this?”
Zhang Huihui was on the verge of collapse, crying and pleading with Lin He to stay. The Omega senior frowned and suddenly walked to the back door: "Wen Han, can you come out for a moment?"
Wen Han was bewildered: "Why did he contact me?"
Yang Lanjun said speechlessly, "Aren't you also in the student council? Maybe they have something important to discuss with you."

It's good to stay away from this farce. The senior led Wen Han to the corridor, and Wen Han asked, "What do you want?"
"You live with Wen Ruan, right?"
"Hmm." Good heavens, Wen Han looked at the gentle and handsome senior in front of her and prayed in her heart that he was not having a fit of hysteria and had come to him to deal with Wen Ruan for Gu Cheng's sake.
"What kind of person is he?" The senior smiled a little embarrassedly. "Do you know why Gu Cheng likes him?"
How should he respond? He couldn't exactly say they were destined to be together, could he? Wen Han pondered for a moment: "They just hit it off, they'll definitely get married someday."
Seeing that her senior was silent, Wen Han kindly advised, "That Gu Cheng is rude and barbaric, just a hoodlum, not worth your affection."
"Ah..." The expected anger and embarrassment did not come. The senior smiled at Wen Han and said, "It's okay. Anyway, I only like the Gu family's family background."
Wen Han: "......"
"However, thank you for worrying about me." The senior exuded an extremely elegant fragrance, and Wen Han was momentarily dazed.
——
"How about it?"
When Wen Han returned to the classroom, Lin He was gone, and Zhang Huihui was lying motionless on the table.
"What do you mean, how about it?"
"That senior," Fang Songxia said mysteriously, "I heard he's an Alpha assassin."
Wen Han became interested: "How so?"
“Every Alpha who has spent time with him has developed feelings for him.” Fang Songxia asked curiously, “Are you serious?”
Wen Han recalled the other person's demeanor and pleasant scent: "I feel that he is not only an Alpha killer, but also possibly a Beta killer."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yu leaned closer, and Wen Han smiled and gently pushed him away.
"What about Wen Ruan?"
"Why worry about him?" Without a doubt, they're using this senior as a tool to show how strong their relationship is.

A month passed quickly, and their monthly exam was the day after tomorrow. The homeroom teacher was going over some challenging questions, and Wen Han was getting more and more bored when the system suddenly whispered to him in his mind.
"Host, pay attention in class, I'm going to class now."
Wen Han immediately became interested: "What class do you want to take?"
"I'll sign up for some courses myself," the system said seriously. "After all, you won't improve if you don't learn."
It offers a course titled "How to Persuade Your Host to Study Seriously," plus two bonus courses: "How to Help Your Host Identify Green Tea Girls" and "108 Ways to Deal with Green Tea Girls," all at an 88% discount, making it a very good deal.
Seeing how motivated the system was, Wen Han felt a little guilty: "Then you should go to class."
He roused himself and tried hard not to get distracted.
With Jing Yu's help, Wen Han's physics skills are at least no longer illiterate compared to before.
On her way to the cafeteria for lunch, Wen Han was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Zhang Yongqi?" Wen Han asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
Zhang Yongqi, with his hands in his pockets and a hint of impatience in his eyes, said, "I need to talk to you about something."
"I'm going to the cafeteria. Get to the point," Wen Han said impatiently. "Besides, what good could you possibly want from me? The Gu family must have given you a lot of money, right?"
Zhang Yongqi was puzzled by Wen Han's bad attitude towards him. Why was she so patient when she was trying to persuade Gu Cheng before? Why was she so fierce now?
Wen Han scoffed. She had been nice to him before so that he would do things for her, but now that she didn't need his help, why should she give a little thug a nice face?
Zhang Yongqi said with a gloomy face, "It can't be explained in a single sentence."
Jing Yu smiled at Wen Han: "I'll wait for you here?"
"No, please." Wen Han pulled him back. "I urged you to leave this morning, and you barely ate any breakfast. You must be hungry now. Let's go."
Jing Yu had a smile on her lips, which made Zhang Yongqi's teeth itch with envy.
As the two walked downstairs, Zhang Yongqi overheard Jing Yu asking Wen Han, "Maybe he really has something urgent to tell you?"
Wen Han's voice carried a hint of disdain: "What serious business could he possibly have?"
Zhang Yongqi kicked the stairs, causing the entire staircase to shake violently. Wen Han's cursing voice came from upstairs: "Who's having an episode?"
Zhang Yongqi's palms were clenched until they were red. "Fine, you look down on me, you'll regret it."
——
Fang Songxia's condition is getting worse, with the specific symptom being that she suddenly laughs incoherently while eating.
Wen Han couldn't bear to look at him and called him several times before he finally responded, "Hey, hey!"
"ah?"
"The monthly exam is the day after tomorrow." Wen Han noticed he had only eaten a few bites. "I'm worried about your grades. Aren't you afraid your mom will scold you?"
"It hasn't affected my studies, but it has affected my appetite," Fang Songxia sighed. "He said if I do well on the exam, he'll take me to the beach."
"Hmph."
"He also asked me if I had any good friends," Fang Songxia asked. "Want to come play with me during winter break?"
Wen Han hasn't traveled in a very long time, let alone gone to the beach.
But he had a heavy responsibility during the winter break: to find Gu Zong's remaining five children across the country in less than a month. This required not only time but also money.
"I can't go."
"Why?" Fang Songxia asked anxiously, "Don't say you're sorry."
"I have so many things to do," Wen Han comforted her. "How about we go together next time?"
Fang Songxia was a little sullen, and Wen Han joked, "You'd better make sure to cover your face well, I don't want to see you on the news."
Gu Cheng and Liu Chuanze both resemble Gu Zong in their eyebrows and eyes, but not in their noses and mouths. If he remembered correctly, the person in the photo on the card Fang Songxia showed him before had a nose and mouth shape that looked quite similar to Gu Zong's.
The idol happened to be out of town. Wen Han put down her chopsticks. Could it be such a coincidence?
