Chapter 54: Disguised as Beta 4: Omega Falls into the Wolf's Den
Wu Lan discussed with 2720 why the progress bar of Task 2 suddenly increased.
It was obvious that Wu Lan had not done anything yet, and had no time to offend them.
Thinking carefully, could it be because Duan Yan was drenched in water?
"Probably not." 2720 said, "When you doused him, you hadn't officially met them yet, and the quest hadn't actually been triggered."
According to system analysis, [I think the reason the progress bar is rising is probably because water from your underwear dripped onto Wen Hengche.]
Your water sprayed all over his face. Perhaps he saw this as a humiliation.
Wu Lan blushed when he heard this. He knelt down on the bed, put his hands on his hips, opened his eyes wide, and defended himself to the air in front of him.
[What, what is my water!?]
He felt that 2720's words were too rude and that he was slandering him. "That's the water on my underwear, not my water! !"
[Besides, I, where would I get so much water...]
The more he spoke, the redder his face became, and his voice gradually became softer. In the end, he spoke vaguely, and his confidence was a little lacking. It was obvious that he remembered something.
【Do you need me to help you remember? 】
2720's voice was calm, as if she was talking about something very ordinary. [How many pairs of underwear did you wet in your last life?]
The little white face was red and hot, as if it was about to burn.
Her long, drooping eyelashes trembled with shame. She pursed her red lips, lowered her hips, and clenched her hands shyly like a little quail.
He still wanted to defend himself, "It's not my fault, it's all their fault."
2720 [Oh.]
This "oh" sounded perfunctory. Wu Lan's face was puffed up, her wet eyes were wide open, and her little mouth was pouted in dissatisfaction.
【You bullied me.】He turned the tables.
You bully me for being dumb, and you laugh at me for getting my pants wet. You always bring up my past!
The more Wu Lan talked, the more she felt like she was being bullied.
2720 is really bad.
A thin layer of red soon appeared at the corners of her beautiful eyes, her eyes became wet, and her little red mouth was flattened into a duck's mouth. She had to be coaxed.
Upon seeing this, System 2720, which was always known for its aloofness and professionalism, froze for a rare moment.
【That’s not what I meant.】
2720 was like facing an unreasonable and wild girlfriend at home, and the machine broke out in a cold sweat after being accused.
[I didn't bully you. You're right. It's all those people's fault.]
In order to appease the person, the system even began to humble itself, "I was wrong too. I shouldn't have brought up your past. Please forgive me, sir."
【I am a mentally retarded system. 】
2720 unexpectedly discovered that he had an unusual talent for coaxing people. There were some things he couldn't say when he was being polite, but as soon as he lost face, he could say anything.
Even the mentally retarded system could speak out, and the good-tempered Wu Lan reluctantly forgave the rude 2720.
This matter lasted until late at night.
When Wu Lan woke up the next day, she couldn't open her eyes and stayed in bed for twenty minutes before getting up.
When I opened the door, I saw that the living room was empty.
There was a sound of running water in the bathroom.
Wu Lan sat on the sofa in a daze, rubbing her eyes and reading the messages on her mobile phone.
Early in the morning, Xiang Sen sent him a message.
After reading the series of messages while yawning, Wu Lan replied to the other party, "I'm up."
Xiang Sen replied immediately: [Did you sleep well last night?]
After chatting slowly with Xiang Sen for a few words, Wu Lan noticed that the sound of water in the bathroom had stopped.
Soon, Duan Yan walked out from inside.
The tall young man was shirtless. He had a muscular build, with very prominent muscles in his arms and back. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his abdomen showed several well-defined abdominal muscles.
Steam was coming out of his body, and water droplets rolled down the lines of his abdominal muscles, exuding a strong masculine scent.
He pushed his wet black hair back, his brow bones were high, revealing a pair of deep eyes, his gaze was sharp and stern.
If Duan Yan doesn't speak, he will definitely look like a cool guy with a cold face.
As soon as he walked out, he immediately saw Wu Lan sitting on the sofa with her cell phone in her arms and her head lowered.
The beautiful Beta with fair skin and black hair just woke up, with a few strands of hair sticking up on her head, looking a little messy.
He was wearing a loose T-shirt with a large, wide hem that completely covered the short pajamas underneath, leaving only two long, white, delicate legs exposed.
It was the first time Duan Yan saw someone do the duck sitting posture.
The two white and tender legs were folded, the skin at the knee joints was a beautiful pink, and under the ankles was soft flesh that was even pinker.
Why is this Beta so pink everywhere?
Duan Yan came back to his senses and coughed unnaturally, "Morning, morning."
"Good morning!"
Wu Lan responded without even looking up. After he finished replying, he noticed that the light in front of him suddenly dimmed.
When I looked up, Duan Yan had already walked up to me.
After Beta raised his head, a sleepy little face with a rosy complexion appeared in front of Duan Yan. His big watery eyes blinked, looking very cute.
Duan Yan's face suddenly became hot, and he embarrassedly covered the lower half of his face with his hands, his image of a cold and cool guy completely gone.
"You just got up, you can go wash up now."
He paused, his eyes still unable to help but linger on this pretty face, "I'm done using the bathroom."
Wu Lan nodded a little slowly, put down her phone, and walked slowly to wash up.
After washing up, he finally felt more energetic.
I saw Duan Yan take out two tubes of transparent rubber tubes from the refrigerator. The liquid inside was colorless.
Duan Yan's tall stature blocked the view.
Wu Lan had no choice but to hold on to the dining table with both hands, stand on tiptoe, and look around curiously.
"What is this?"
"this?"
Duan Yan turned around, spread out his hands, and placed the tube in front of Wu Lan, "This is a nutrient."
He asked hesitantly, "Haven't you seen it?"
Wu Lan shook her head. "I've never seen it before. Is it a drink? Does it taste good?"
Only then did Duan Yan remember that Wu Lan came from a small place.
In some small places, nutritional supplements are not so popular, and because the prices are generally high, many people still choose the most common way of eating.
Nutrients are a highly technological food. A tube of military nutrient supplements can provide a whole day's energy and can be consumed quickly, making them particularly commonly used in the military.
Duan Yan was used to taking nutritional supplements, and thought it would save time, so he kept some in the refrigerator.
Seeing Wu Lan's eyes full of curiosity, Duan Yan wanted to slap himself immediately.
As the saying goes, why not eat meat?
Wu Lan came from a small place, so naturally he had never seen nutritional supplements, but he still asked that question, which was really damnable.
"I drink it."
Looking at those sparkling eyes, Duan Yan immediately opened the tube, held it in front of Wu Lan, and said softly: "Try it and see if you like it?"
Although the water in the hose is transparent, you can smell a slight odor if you get close.
Wu Lan took a sip cautiously, and her eyebrows immediately frowned.
The scarlet tongue stuck out a little, the face wrinkled, and the nutrient was immediately pushed away.
“It’s so hard to drink.”
The tongue tastes bitter, spreading from the tip to the root of the tongue. It is extremely difficult to drink.
Duan Yan quickly took the hose away and placed his hand on Wu Lan's chin. "If you don't like it, spit it out on my hand."
Spitting directly on someone's hands is very rude and not clean.
Wu Lan didn't drink much, but her mouth still felt bitter.
He stuck out his tongue uncomfortably. The little soft flesh was red and pink, a small wet piece, with crystals hanging on the tip of his tongue, looking like it was about to fall off.
Fortunately, Duan Yan was quick-eyed and quick-handed and caught it, so it was not wasted.
Wu Lan didn't notice Duan Yan's actions. He hurried over and gulped down some water, finally washing away the bitter taste in his mouth.
When he turned around again, he found that Duan Yan seemed to be licking his hand.
Wu Lan: “?”
Receiving Wu Lan's puzzled look, Duan Yan immediately explained without waiting for any further questions: "I've dropped the nutrient solution on my hand. I don't want to waste it."
Wu Lan nodded in understanding.
Seeing that Wu Lan didn't like nutritional supplements, Duan Yan ordered takeout for Wu Lan and brought her soy milk and buns.
After taking a bite of the bun, Wu Lan suddenly thought of another roommate.
"Where's Wen Hengche?" He had a bun stuffed in his mouth and spoke incoherently. "Do you want to save some tonic for him for breakfast?"
"Don't worry about him, he went out early this morning." After drinking the nutritional supplement, Duan Yan accompanied Wu Lan to have breakfast. "I met him when I went out this morning."
"Did you go out this morning?"
"Well, I went to exercise this morning and ran five laps."
Noticing that there was something on the corner of Wu Lan's mouth, Duan Yan wiped her mouth with a tissue and asked, "Are you going out today?"
"I need to go out."
After swallowing the bun in his mouth, Wu Lan finished drinking the soy milk and felt completely full.
Touching his slightly bulging belly, he breathed a sigh of satisfaction and said politely, "Thank you for treating me to breakfast."
The pretty little Beta had smiling eyes and her mouth looked moist because she had just drunk something. She looked so cute when she politely said thank you.
Duan Yan usually only interacted with Alphas who were as hard as him, and had never seen such a beautiful and lovely Beta. He dared to say that Wu Lan was a thousand times, ten thousand times more lovely and beautiful than those Omegas.
His breathing was disordered for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Don't be polite to me. I'll treat you to breakfast from now on."
Feeling that the relationship between the two had become much closer, Duan Yan took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, why did you come to the imperial capital alone?"
Here comes the chance to find someone!
Wu Lan sat upright, his hands on his knees, and said honestly: "I came to the capital to look for someone, a very important person."
Hearing this, Duan Yan's heart sank.
He once heard from a friend that many childhood sweethearts who grew up in the countryside would get engaged early. To secure a better future, one of them would come to the capital to pursue careers, and then they would return to the countryside to get married after achieving success.
With Wu Lan's attractive looks, she must have been spotted long ago and already been engaged. That person came to the capital to develop his career, and Wu Lan, out of longing for him, came alone to the capital to find her fiancé.
With just one sentence, Duan Yan imagined a young and tragic love story.
He didn't think so much at first, but Wu Lan's words "very important person" made him think too much.
Who the hell is this bastard who dares to abandon Wu Lan!
But Duan Yan changed his mind and thought, if it wasn't like this, how could he have known Wu Lan? ! !
After Wu Lan finished speaking, she saw Duan Yan's face was gloomy and she had no choice but to ask, "Duan Yan, can you help me find someone?"
"Of course not, uh, I mean of course it's not a problem."
Duan Yan quickly changed his words and asked Wu Lan for the name of the bastard.
Chen Lin, with an ordinary name and I believe his appearance is also ordinary, must be a very ordinary man.
He won't help find someone.
If he really encountered him, he would never let him appear in front of Wu Lan!
"Thank you, you're so kind!"
Listening to Beta's soft voice, Duan He's ears softened and he was immersed in the sweet voice, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
When he came to his senses, he found that Wu Lan had already left.
*
Wu Lan plans to find a part-time job.
After paying the rent, his wallet became tight. The cost of living in the capital was very high, with a loaf of bread costing fifty or sixty yuan. He had never seen prices so high.
He must find a job quickly, otherwise he won’t even be able to afford clear soup noodles.
Having secretly set a goal, Wu Lan walked out of the apartment and stood on the side of the road with blank eyes, not knowing where to go.
The idea is good, but where can I find a job?
2720 [You only have a junior high school education. Many jobs require a degree. As far as I know, only manual labor jobs don't require a degree.]
[But since you have no education and no physical strength, it will be difficult for you to find a job.]
Wu Lan knew that 2720's analysis was correct, but he had to try his luck, otherwise he would soon have to go back to the countryside.
2720【The commercial street is on the left. Go look for it there.】
Wu Lan nodded, and just as she was about to leave, a cool blue supercar drove quickly from a distance and honked its horn twice.
Turning my head, I saw a blue supercar parked on the side of the road with its windows rolled down.
It's a familiar face.
Seeing Xiang Sen waving at him frantically, Wu Lan was stunned for a moment and walked over.
"Why are you here?"
"Lululu, just passing by." Xiang Sen's voice sounded a little hurried, and he stuttered. "We are so destined to meet again."
After meeting Wu Lan yesterday, Wu Lan's appearance was all I could see when I opened my eyes or closed them. Even my dreams at night were about Wu Lan.
So, I sent a message to Wu Lan early in the morning. When I learned that Wu Lan was going out today, I drove around the apartment just for a chance meeting.
Fortunately, the efforts were not in vain.
It was just that because he was too nervous and happy, he stuttered when he spoke the words he had prepared in advance, and they sounded fake at first glance.
"Yes, what a coincidence!"
Wu Lan didn't think too much about it.
"Xiao Lan, where are you going? Let me take you there."
"I'm just going to take a walk in the nearby commercial street. No need to see me off." Wu Lan waved her hand and declined. "Go ahead if you have something to do. Bye~"
Wu Lan was only thinking about finding a job quickly, so she turned around and left without saying a word to Xiang Sen. Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, she suddenly heard the sound of a car door closing and locking behind her.
Immediately afterwards, the tall young man who got out of the car ran to his side.
"I happen to be free today, let me walk with you."
When Xiang Sen saw Wu Lan turn around and leave, he felt like a large piece of his heart was pulled out, and he felt empty.
He subconsciously abandoned the car and quickly caught up.
He was afraid that if he was a step slower, Wu Lan would disappear.
Wu Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Hmm... okay then."
Considering that he was not familiar with Didu, it would be much more convenient to have a local around, so he agreed to let Xiang Sen go with him.
The temperature was not high in the morning, but the sun was glaring.
He put the hat on Wu Lan's head and explained to Xiang Sen: "The ultraviolet rays are also very strong in the morning. The hat can block it a little."
Wu Lan has very fair skin, and it is easy to get sunburned or burned when exposed to the sun. Now her cheeks are slightly pink.
In addition to this, Xiang Sen also had a little secret in mind that he didn't want others to see Wu Lan.
Just as he was walking across an intersection, he saw several people staring at Wu Lan's face. One of them was so engrossed in the staring that he bumped into a road pole.
idiot.
After secretly sneering in his heart, Xiang Sen quickly put a hat on Wu Lan to prevent others from seeing him again.
At first, Xiang Sen didn't know why Wu Lan came to the commercial street.
After he observed that Wu Lan was standing in front of a supermarket looking at recruitment information for a long time, he understood the purpose of Wu Lan going out today.
The recruitment board reads: Our store needs a porter who is hardworking and strong. Two meals are provided and the salary is negotiable.
Wu Lan lowered her head, shook her two thin arms, pursed her lips, and asked Xiang Sen beside her: "Brother Xiang Sen, can I do this job?"
Hearing this, Xiang Sen's heart was filled with alarm.
This is a dangerous free point question.
First of all, he couldn't directly deny Wu Lan. Even though Wu Lan had thin arms and legs and looked like she couldn't be moved or lifted, he absolutely couldn't deny Wu Lan.
Secondly, he must give Wu Lan enough confidence and provide rich emotional value.
These are all written in books, teaching people how to get along with their partners and make their partners like them more. He went home last night and did some intensive study, and he didn't expect that it would come in handy today.
"I think you can do it!"
Xiang Sen said, "Do you want to go for an interview? Give yourself a chance."
If Wu Lan really applies for this job, he can cover for Wu Lan on time every day.
Anyway, he is strong.
Wu Lan was indeed inspired.
He excitedly pulled Xiang Sen into the store, but the store manager looked back and forth between them and shook his head.
The store manager said, "Your friend can do it, but you can't."
The young man in front of him was wearing a baseball cap. After hearing his words, his big round eyes turned red and slowly gathered a layer of mist.
The store manager was stunned when he saw this, scratched his head apologetically, and reflected on whether he was too direct in his words and made the person cry.
"I mean, you're not strong enough to do it," the store manager explained hurriedly, scratching his head. "Besides, we have to move a lot of goods every day, and the pay is low. The work is tiring and hard every day. By the end of the day, we smell of sweat."
"You should find a better job."
As he spoke, the store manager took out a card and handed it to Wu Lan, "This is a 36% discount card. I'm giving it to you. Don't be unhappy."
"Please accept this! Come back often!"
"...Thank you, Manager."
Putting away her lost mood, Wu Lan took the discount card and left with Xiang Sen.
He stood at the door of the store, his round eyes looking at the recruitment notice for a while, then looking at Xiang Sen next to him, pursing his lips, silently reviewing the reasons for his failed interview.
Wu Lan felt that the problem most likely lay with Xiang Sen.
Xiang Sen is tall and his arms look very powerful. He looks like a good candidate for doing heavy work.
In contrast, he has thin arms and legs, and 2720 always says that he has a bean sprout-like body shape, which forms a sharp contrast with Xiang Sen.
It must be because of the comparison that it failed.
The more Wu Lan analyzed, the more he felt that he was right.
He decided to go in alone for the next interview and never let Xiang Sen steal his limelight again.
Putting the 36% off discount card in his pocket, Wu Lan walked towards the next store with confidence. As soon as he saw the recruitment flyer, he went in for an interview.
He went to two more stores, both of which were recruiting porters, but each time he walked out dejectedly in less than five minutes, with his shoulders hunched, looking very lost.
The wide brim of his baseball hat blocked his face, and only his thin, pointed white chin could be seen.
Even if Xiang Sen didn't ask, he could see the result.
"There are still many recruitment opportunities in this commercial street, don't be discouraged." Xiang Sen patted Wu Lan's shoulder to comfort her and took the opportunity to hold her in his arms.
"Why don't you go take a break first? We can continue looking later?"
"Uh-huh."
Wu Lan was a little hit. He needed to take a break and regain his confidence.
Xiang Sen took him to a high-end coffee shop, where the air conditioner was turned on powerfully, which immediately dissipated the heat from his body.
I found a seat by the window and went to order coffee from Xiang Sen.
Taking off his hat, Wu Lan wiped the sweat off his face with a tissue.
The hat pressed the hair on her forehead into creases, with a few cute hairs sticking up. Her pretty little face, the size of a palm, was rosy and she sat obediently on the chair like a porcelain doll.
But the porcelain doll was not in a good mood, frowning seriously and pouting.
Wu Lan was seriously discussing job hunting with 2720.
He was so engrossed in the discussion that he didn't notice that many people in the store were secretly looking at him.
After Xiang Sen ordered the coffee, he stood at the food counter waiting and glanced around the coffee shop with an unhappy look.
Those guests thought their gazes were secretive, but Xiang Sen had sharp eyes and knew that they were all looking at Wu Lan.
Taking a deep breath, Xiang Sen decided not to wait any longer and wanted to go back and sit down to block the gazes of those people.
But as he took a step, someone tapped his shoulder.
"Xiang Sen, it's really you!"
The person who was speaking was a close friend, Xiao Xun, with whom Xiang Sen would play racing from time to time.
"I called you today but you didn't answer. What's going on?"
Xiang Sen retracted his steps and smiled: "I was busy with a friend today and didn't answer the call."
"What about you, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Xun said, "Come and buy some coffee. Do you want to have dinner with us later? Cheng Chi will be there too."
As he spoke, Xiao Xun pointed to a seat by the window where a handsome young man in black was sitting.
The young man held the mobile phone in his hand, tapped the screen, put the phone to his ear, and repeated the action after listening.
It seems like he is listening to someone else's voice message.
"After you left yesterday, we broke up not long after, but Cheng Chi kept listening to the voicemail on his phone."
"I met him today, and he was still listening to the voicemail." Xiao Xun revealed a gossipy look. "I stole a peek at his screen, and there was only one voicemail in the entire chat box. This means that Cheng Chi has been listening to it over and over again all day and all night."
"Who do you think sent that voice message? It sounds so addictive."
Xiao Xun touched his chin and said, "It makes me want to listen."
Hearing He Chengchi's strange behavior, Xiang Sen raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let him listen to it for you."
"I told him, but he wouldn't let me." Xiao Xun clicked his tongue.
"How stingy!"
Xiang Sen was indeed a little curious, but he wanted to get back to Wu Lan as soon as possible, so he didn't talk much with Xiao Xun. The coffee was ready just in time, so he took the coffee and walked towards Wu Lan.
Looking at Xiang Sen's back as he quickly left, Xiao Xun narrowed his eyes.
Thinking of the friend Xiang Sen just mentioned, combined with Xiang Sen's weird behavior, I couldn't help but feel curious.
After getting the coffee, Xiao Xun first gave a cup to He Chengchi, and then said, "I saw Xiang Sen. Do you want to go over and say hello?"
He Chengchi took a sip of coffee and put away his phone.
The two walked towards Sen and saw a black-haired boy sitting next to Sen with his back to them.
He Chengchi glanced at the boy's back without interest, and couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, intending to listen to the voice message of the stupid tenant again.
He has listened to it over and over again hundreds of times and still hasn't gotten tired of it.
Click on the voice button, put the phone to your ear, and the clear and pleasant voice of a young boy once again came into your ears.
[The door is open, thank you for teaching me!]
When the voice ended, they just walked to the side of Xiang Sen and the boy.
The next second, He Chengchi heard a familiar voice.
He had heard this voice countless times. It was just as clear and pleasant as the one on the phone, but it was less reserved, more coquettish, and even sweeter: "Brother Xiang Sen, this cup of mine is so bitter."
Suddenly, He Chengchi's heart skipped a beat.
