Chapter 83 Dessert
To be honest, Cheng Boyan couldn't even imagine He Li's expression.
That guy praises Lin Yao to the skies every day, and he's already got this much of an ambiguous relationship with his most hated rival? Good heavens.
This word is too ambiguous; no matter how you look at it, it's definitely not innocent.
My roommates went too far with their games.
He really thought He Li would find a building to jump off.
Lin Yao closed his eyes briefly, offering a weak explanation: "It's not what you think."
That last sentence was definitely the death sentence I most wanted to take back in my life.
"You guys are busy, I'll be going now." Cheng Boyan stood up tactfully. "It was indeed a bit shocking and beyond my comprehension, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Grab him!" Lin Yao said, looking utterly devastated. "Don't let him go."
Xie Xingchen stood up and dragged the person who was about to reach the door back, saying helplessly, "Forget it, since we're already here, let's have a meal together first. This matter can't be explained in just a few words."
Cheng Boyan was very confused, feeling like a huge third wheel, and he resisted it all: "Me, having dinner with the two of you, is that appropriate? Won't it interfere with things?"
"It won't cause any delay; I wasn't planning on doing anything anyway."
Lin Yao gritted his teeth, wanting to turn around and go back to change into his training clothes, but he was covered in sweat and didn't want to wear them, so he could only clutch the silk bathrobe, feeling utterly speechless.
Seriously, Xie Xingchen didn't even tell his family when they came to visit. It's so embarrassing.
It was clear that someone was angry, so Xie Xingchen remained silent, lowered his head, and ordered takeout from the restaurant next door.
Lin Yao pulled out a chair, sat down opposite him, and said, word by word, "What did you just hear?"
"I......"
Can I say that?
I'll definitely be assassinated if I say that.
"Huh? What did you say?" Cheng Boyan shook his head, raising his hand to pick at his ear: "Oh, I didn't hear anything. I've been hard of hearing since I came back from the desolate planet. My hearing isn't good."
Lin Yao remained calm: "......Do you think I'm being fooled by He Li, that idiot?"
Cheng Boyan was also extremely embarrassed and sighed, "No, what do you want me to say? I just came to deliver some medicine. I chatted with Xie Xingchen for a long time and he didn't mention you were there. Even if I had three heads, I still couldn't imagine the two of you getting together."
"Watch your words." Lin Yao closed his eyes. "Nothing."
"...So, he's just a one-sided simp for you?" Cheng Boyan really thought the word "simp" was too vivid. "If that's the case, He Li might be able to barely accept it."
Xie Xingchen was laughing uncontrollably with his head down.
Lin Yao kicked him, still feeling so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die: "You explain yourself."
Xie Xingchen thought to himself that he had intended to take Lin Yao's Omega identity to his grave, but now more and more people were finding out.
He first laid the groundwork with Lin Yao: "I will give him your blood sample, so your secondary gender cannot be hidden."
Lin Yao hummed in agreement: "I know."
Xie Xingchen said lightly, "He is an Omega, and we are 100% compatible, so for now we are... helping each other use each other's pheromones to treat illnesses."
Cheng Boyan stared at Lin Yao as if listening to gibberish, repeatedly confirming, "Omega? You? The Omega who headshot nearly a hundred people in the last real battle? The Omega who dominated the S-rank Alpha in the exam this afternoon?"
“Yes, not many people know about it yet. My dad, your dad, his…godfather, and then you,” Xie Xingchen said. “So, please keep it a secret.”
Cheng Boyan was completely devoid of his usual cheerfulness.
He raised his hand to cover his face, looking utterly hopeless: "Wait, let me catch my breath."
Hearing the doorbell ring, Xie Xingchen got up: "I'll go get some food first."
Lin Yao brushed his hand away, stared into his eyes, and emphasized again with a death stare: "You are not allowed to say a single word to He Li."
"I won't tell, he'll want to die if I do. Even if you two haven't... you know, it's pretty much the same." Cheng Boyan asked curiously, "Won't this 100% compatibility lead to feelings?"
Lin Yao paused for a moment, then didn't refute, "I don't know."
Cheng Boyan: Damn.
This mouth of hers, every question she asks turns out to be a bombshell.
Judging from his ambiguous expression, there's no need to guess; he's probably fallen for him.
Cheng Boyan turned his head to look at Xie Xingchen, who was confirming with the deliveryman outside the door, then turned back.
After carefully considering his words, he said in a low voice, "I won't offer my opinion. This is between the two of you, but you are an Omega. No matter what, protect yourself. Alphas naturally have an advantage in relationships, and you'll be at a disadvantage."
Lin Yao hadn't expected him to say this to him.
He was chosen for the sample study because Xie Xingchen talked about Cheng Boyan's background on the way back from Rose Star.
He claimed that he didn't want to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy to study medicine and enter the Hemei Private School. He gave up all his past achievements, pretended to be stupid and said he had a dream of becoming a hero. He used connections to get into the Comprehensive Warfare Institute and deliberately went to the front line to expose his shortcomings, making Director Cheng worry about his safety.
After going through all this trouble, I finally got back to my beloved biology major. I'm a person with a truly independent personality, and I can't be all that bad.
At that moment, Lin Yao also felt his kindness: "We should be able to become good friends."
“I have something on you, so you can only be good friends with me,” Cheng Boyan said with a smile.
Lin Yao paused for a moment, then said sincerely, "You seem much more normal when you're not acting all irritable and pretending to be stupid."
Cheng Boyan sighed and sincerely suggested, "When you said last time that you hoped I wouldn't go bald like my dad, I wanted to say, could you take some emotional intelligence courses? Seriously, they're incredibly damaging."
"Get out." Lin Yao said cleanly and decisively.
"Get lost." Cheng Boyan glanced at his phone, smiled as he stood up, and brushed past Xie Xingchen, who was carrying takeout. "You two eat, I'm going back. He Li has called thirty times already, so annoying."
Before the door closed, Lin Yao emphasized for the third time: "You are not allowed to say a single word to him."
Cheng Boyan practically swore an oath: "If I don't say anything, you can rest assured and let Xie Xingchen lick you. I'm leaving."
Lin Yao: ""
He really wanted to just bury this witness on the spot and call it a day.
Xie Xingchen smiled as he unpacked the lunchbox: "You're quite afraid of He Li, aren't you?"
“I’m afraid he’ll pull out a knife and stab you, and I’ll be held liable.”
Lin Yao reached out and took the bowl and chopsticks, lowered his head to eat, still feeling ashamed and his ears burning.
Xie Xingchen ate quietly. Sitting opposite him, the two of them ate at a battle-like pace and finished quickly.
"I'm going back." Lin Yao raised his hand to rub his ears, still feeling devastated at the thought of what had happened.
As I passed by Xie Xingchen, he blocked my way with his foot.
Lin Yao lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent: "What?"
"Didn't you tell me to go upstairs and lick it? After dinner, it's time for dessert." Xie Xingchen raised his eyes, his words carrying a hidden meaning.
"Can you stop saying such vulgar things in such a serious tone?" Lin Yao couldn't stand it anymore and turned to leave, but the other person tugged at the sash of his bathrobe, and it came undone with the slightest movement.
Xie Xingchen casually tossed the sleeping belt aside and blocked the other person's way, saying, "How can you go back on your word?"
Lin Yao, unable to bear it any longer, reached out and grabbed his collar, dragging him from the dining room to the sofa, his tone irritated: "You're so annoying, come here."
Xie Xingchen gripped his lower back, forcing him closer, and buried his face in his fair neck: "Then I won't be polite."
Lin Yao felt a soft touch spread from the back of his neck, his voice trembling: "Could you please not...do this..."
Xie Xingchen paused.
"Yaoyao, tell me, what's the maximum distance?"
Lin Yao lowered his eyes but still revealed his bottom line: "Waist."
Xie Xingchen spoke in a hoarse voice.
“…”
