Chapter 10010 It’s My Junior
Lan Xi lay comfortably on the sofa, watching the prime time drama while casually calling out, "Lan Hui, pour me a glass of water."
The sound of keyboard clacking echoed in the spacious living room.
"Did you hear that?" She raised her voice slightly.
"I heard it!" Lan Hui threw the mouse away and hurriedly got a glass of water and handed it over.
Lan Xi gestured for him to put them on the coffee table: "Wash the grapes for me."
“…”
Lan Hui glanced at the computer screen and said, "Tell me what you want all at once. I'm going to be matched later and can't leave."
Under his father's orders, he had to sacrifice some of his time to serve Lan Xi. He even moved all of Lan Xi's gaming equipment to the living room because of this matter, fearing that Lan Xi would not respond in time. Lan Hui thought carefully for a while and complained to Lan Xi, "You just injured your left leg, and you insist on asking me to be your caregiver... I haven't been treated this way before. My father is really partial."
"You before?" Lan Xi took a sip of water slowly. "Which time?"
"Which time? Many times. The one that left the most profound impression on me was the time when my entire right hand was broken..."
"Your fracture was broken." Lan Xi added, "You fell when you climbed out the window to play games in the middle of the night. You're lucky you didn't die."
"Hey, I won't talk to you about this," Lan Hui put down a plate of grapes, turned around and trotted to the computer, "I'm playing the game. I'll tell you later if you have anything to say."
"Later? Not long, maybe."
Lan Xi tilted her head: "Five minutes?"
“…You don’t understand.”
The protagonists in the TV series had not yet finished their quarrel when Lan Hui suddenly stood up from the swivel chair, leaned on the back of the sofa with one hand, turned over, and sat down next to Lan Xi.
"Three minutes." Lan Xi gestured a number.
I expected him to be furious, but he said nothing, not even a hint of anger. Lan Hui continued, "She ignored me for five days."
This "she" is undoubtedly Shen Su.
This look of anxiety was rare, and Lan Xi was very interested: "No reply? Did they have a fight?"
"We didn't argue. Um... she replied, answering every question she asked. She didn't report back and told me she was busy."
"It's normal. They are working."
"No," Lan Hui said seriously, staring into her eyes and speaking every word, "The city she's on a business trip to happens to be where she attends university, and there's a class reunion going on there."
"You..." Lan Xi swallowed the rest of the "how do you know" and warned him, "If you have anything to ask, you can just ask directly. I don't think Xiao Su will like you doing this."
Lan Hui grabbed a handful of hair in annoyance.
He stood up again and paced back and forth, blocking Lan Xi's view of the TV completely.
"She might not tell me even if I ask her, so I might as well check it myself. Oh, and," he stopped abruptly, "I'll be there in time for tomorrow's party tomorrow morning."
"Stop, stop, stop," Lan Xi called out to him, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm just going to take a look," Lan Hui's gaze fell on her, and he added, "By the way, sister, you come with me—I remember you also graduated from that university, so it makes sense for me to accompany you to visit your alma mater."
"You're using me as a step down, aren't you?"
Lan Xi rolled her eyes: "I'm not going."
"Sister, my dear sister, I will carry you!"
The private plane landed and Lan Hui pushed out in a wheelchair. Lan Xi, who was sitting on the chair, had a face full of resentment.
"I'm not strong enough to carry it."
"Are the dumbbells in your room made of plastic?"
"One thing at a time!"
A University.
The bell had just rung, and the sidewalk was filled with students, among whom were two strange alphas. One sat in a wheelchair, his hands covering his face, while the other hunched over, pushing the wheelchair, peering furtively ahead.
Among the students coming and going, she could vaguely see a few people talking at the end of the road. Lan Xi could easily recognize Chen Su. This was simple. It was not because she had excellent eyesight, but because Chen Su's hairstyle and clothes were too obvious, a typical sweet girl.
"Did you see that?" Lan Hui suddenly asked from behind.
"I saw it."
"Yeah, I should have come," he muttered to himself, "A lot of alphas are hitting on her."
"...You have to guard against every alpha?"
Lan Xi couldn't understand this strange logic. Since Chen Su was already Lan Hui's girlfriend, it proved that she loved Lan Hui. What did it have to do with other alphas?
"Be careful," Lan Hui gritted her teeth, "Be careful of everything. She just likes men like me."
He pushed the wheelchair forward. After class, the large group of students dispersed like flowing water. Soon, the sidewalk was deserted, and there was no other cover ahead. Shen Su walked and stopped. Lan Hui's back ached from pushing for so long that he had to straighten up and stretch his back.
Just this once, Shen Su suddenly turned around.
“!”
He was caught off guard and caught red-handed.
"Lan Hui."
Chen Su walked forward briskly, his eyes widening slightly as he fixed his gaze on Lan Xi. "Sister? Your injury hasn't healed yet..."
"I told her that too," Lan Hui clapped his hands, "but my sister just wanted to go back to her alma mater and there was no stopping her."
Lan Xi: "..." She suddenly realized that she had indeed spoiled Lan Hui too much.
Her brother was an average student, a video game fanatic, and aside from his gym-trained physique and good looks, there was nothing special about him. It was a miracle that Shen Su fell for him. Oh, and he had a bad temper.
"Lan Hui, come here," Shen Su said after a moment's hesitation, "I have something to say to you."
"Okay, I just happen to have something to ask you."
Tensions were high between the two sides, and Lan Xi, caught in the middle, chose to remain silent. It looked like a big fight was finally about to break out. Someone as smart as Chen Su must have known Lan Hui was here to check on him, and his tone was terrifyingly heavy.
She looked at their backs and began to imagine that little bastard Lan Hui crying and holding his head in his hands after a breakup.
Until a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
"Hello, do you need my...help?"
*
Ever since little Siamese Xinxin went missing, Liang Qing had tried everything to track her down, but after a long search, he'd found nothing. A young kitten wandering alone was dangerous... He couldn't help but imagine the worst, fearing the little one might be captured or drowned, and his worry kept him awake for days.
After searching for more than a month, he gradually adapted to life without Xinxin.
I have only been with it for a dozen days.
Not long ago, he lent a large sum of money to Liang Fei to maintain his business. He has also been looking for a job recently. In fact, his savings are enough for daily expenses. Liang Qing just wants to keep himself busy. Being busy will stop his mind from wandering.
He, who has never liked socializing, even agreed to attend a college reunion.
Liang Qing doesn't have a deep affection for his college classmates, but he does miss his college life. That was probably the happiest time, away from his family, and he only needed to focus on studying and his part-time job every day.
"Do you need my help?"
He said this without thinking. He had only noticed two alphas acting strangely. One of them followed the omega, and the other, in a wheelchair, was left there... not only was he unable to move, but he was also alone on the sidewalk.
It makes people feel very lonely.
People come and go, and she, unable to move, is like a reef in the flowing water.
"Uh, thank you." Lan Xi suddenly came back to her senses and looked up at the young man beside her.
It was such a coincidence that I could actually see Liang Qing here. Lan Xi thought, the university where she had spent four years suddenly had a Liang Qing, and the combination of the two seemed so strange no matter how you looked at it.
He... is also from University A? So he's her junior?
"where are you going?"
"I was just strolling around," Lan Xi said casually, "I came with my friends. They just had a fight, so... well, this is what you see."
Liang Qing leaned over, his eyes almost level with hers: "Then can I take you to the nearby artificial lake?"
"OK."
Lan Xi figured the two wouldn't argue for too long, so she lowered her head and sent a few messages on her phone, "Thank you for your help."
The person behind him pushed very steadily, and it could be said that he was very skilled. After walking more than ten meters away, Liang Qing did not say a word, and was silent like a machine.
He is clearly someone who can ramble a lot about cats.
In the early morning, he would hold the cat and talk while half asleep, and Lan Xi could still talk for a long time without saying a word; when his sleepiness was completely gone, he would talk to her non-stop even after getting out of bed to wash and cook, pointing to a bowl full of shrimps and asking her which one she liked; in the evening, he would do anything to get her to bed, giving her cat snacks in turn, touching the cat's head and sucking its belly, and every freeze-dried snack was worth eating.
Before going to bed, Liang Qing would discuss tomorrow's activities with her. For example, going downstairs to play with the omega girl, going to the supermarket to shop, or going out to the park for a walk... Most of the time, he would talk to himself, and no matter how many meows she made, he would take them as his agreement.
"Are you a student of this school?" she asked casually.
"Yes, I graduated here," Liang Qing was stunned for two seconds before answering her, "I graduated many years ago."
"I heard this school has a beautiful sea of flowers."
“Yes, but it’s not open yet.”
"Is the food in the cafeteria good?" Lan Xi asked again, "Some people online said the lobster noodles here are delicious."
"Sorry, I can't remember exactly...it must be delicious."
Lan Xi took a deep breath and couldn't help but turn around to look at the person pushing the cart behind her.
It was indeed Liang Qing.
He was completely different from before... He didn't even say a word. She had just started but was cut short, their words so distant that he felt like a caregiver she had hired, just pushing the cart.
Is he like this to strangers?
Liang Qing quickly pushed her to the edge of the artificial lake and stood aside, staring at the lake quietly.
He didn't check his phone, didn't speak, and his face was expressionless. Lan Xi suspected that if she asked him to push it back, or to the cafeteria or library, he would do it immediately. This atmosphere was too strange. He was like a pool of stagnant water, and Lan Xi was the lively fish trying to make a splash.
Suddenly, the person next to him moved and his eyes fell on the orange kitten under the tree.
Lan Xi pursed her lips. She knew how to start the conversation correctly.
