Chapter 65
The splashing sound of water covered most of the other sounds, and the warm wind above made people drowsy.
The young man paused in squeezing the shower gel, and raised his ears to listen carefully. One second, two seconds, three seconds, nothing, probably he heard it wrong.
He felt relieved and continued to wash.
White foam wrapped around the young man's slender and fit body, his six-pack abs were faintly visible, and a lot of steam seeped out from the cracks of the door that was not closed tightly.
The mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly lit up.
It was as if someone's eyes were quietly peeking at the room, and the backstage procedures were running spontaneously without the owner noticing.
Less than three minutes later, when the young man came out, the phone had automatically turned off and returned to its original state.
The hair was blown dry, but the ends were still a little damp. The cheeks were steamed by the hot air, and the whiteness was tinged with pink. The young man was lying on the bed, playing with his mobile phone.
Knock, knock!
The crisp knock on the door startled the drowsy young man. He rolled over, sat up from the bed, and looked at the door in doubt, thinking, was it not an illusion just now?
There were surveillance cameras at both ends of the hotel corridor, security guards outside, and cat eyes in the room.
Xia Yan narrowed his eyes. He wanted to see who was outside.
He tiptoed, trying not to make any noise, and walked carefully to the door. Through the cat eyes, he saw a familiar face.
Hmm? Wu Qin?
Xia Yan felt inexplicably lost.
If it was a stalker, he would have caught him now.
He opened the door: "Why are you back?"
"Your things fell on my--" car. The man's words stopped abruptly, he turned his head abruptly, and stammered: "Why are you dressed like this?"
Xia Yan lowered his head in confusion, his mind full of questions.
What's wrong with wearing a bathrobe after taking a shower?
The hotel's bathrobe is a little short, only reaching the middle of the thigh. A large area of white skin makes the little virgin who just understood her feelings today blush.
Wu Qin hurriedly handed the things over: "Anyway, don't open the door like this in the future."
"?" Xia Yan, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"It's a plea."
Xia Yan... Xia Yan had nothing to say.
The protagonist is too easily subdued, making it difficult for him to act his character.
"It's getting late. I'm leaving." Wu Qin suggested a 'date'. "I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"No thanks."
"?"
"I have an appointment with my boyfriend tomorrow. I'm going to go to class with him."
Wu Qin: "..."
Killing someone and killing his heart.
Xia Yan didn't lie.
There is no progress on the side quest for the time being. In order to avoid alerting Wu Qin and Wen Changming and making them realize that something is wrong, he can only do it step by step.
So why not say something when completing the main quest.
And... if it's Omega inhibitor, maybe we can start with Shen Wenqing and prompt him to investigate.
Ignoring the weird Alpha, the young man closed the door and put the gift bag in the cupboard. He ignored the expensive items worth hundreds of thousands.
Instead, the palm-sized penguin doll at the top was pampered and stayed quietly at the head of the bed.
Before going to sleep, the young man pinched the little penguin heavily.
The furry touch and soft body... As he expected, it was very relaxing.

S Forum.
[Ahhh! Today, the beauty came to class with her boyfriend again. ]
[Hmm! Godlike looks, godlike couple, I can not fall in love, but the couple I love must be together. ]
Eleventh floor: [I can't stand a Beta who didn't graduate from high school and only relies on his face! Senior Shen's fan club has thousands of people, and there are so many beautiful Betas. Why did he fall in love with a poor student? ]
[But they are not as beautiful as Xia Yan. ]
[……]
[Has no one talked about what happened the day before yesterday? Does anyone know what happened between Xia Yan and Wu Qin? 】
【I'm curious too. 】
【Squat down. 】
...
【Eleventh floor, you're done. You dared to scold the little princess of the forum. Your account should be blocked. 】
【? ? ? 】
Ten minutes later.
Topic: 【Is someone the Voldemort of the Muggle world? Can't say a word? 】
【No scolding, just telling the truth, the account was blocked. 】
【Finally someone brought up this matter. 】
【Can the administrator who blindly blocked the account be caught? 】
【I have a small account, so I'm not afraid of being blocked. Xia Yan's reputation in our circle is terrible. He worships money and vanity, and only cares about money.
As for why he is dating Shen Wenqing?
After accepting a gift of 10 million US dollars from others, you must pledge your love and serve the sponsor well. 】
As soon as this piece of news came out, it immediately caused a tsunami-like shock.
S University is a prestigious school, and the average annual salary of its graduates is 300,000. The students have a bright future and generally don't care about small money.
But this price... is far beyond everyone's expectations.
Of course, not everyone believes this.
[Is there any evidence? ]
[It is illegal to slander someone. ]
[He is one of the resident singers of the Sandu Bar. You can go there yourself and ask any regular customer, and you will know whether I am lying or not. ]
After saying this, the man continued: [When Shen Wenqing gave the gift, there was a group of witnesses behind the bar, and my friend was one of them. ]
He gave the time, location and "eyewitnesses", and was not afraid of investigation at all.
To be honest, most people have already believed it.
A group of people got a big piece of news and were excited to discuss it, but who knew that the next second, the post was blocked.
Everyone: "..." Too much!
As the saying goes, one fan is worth ten haters. People who originally had no ill will towards Xia Yan, after being covered over their mouths again and again, could not help but feel a little resentful.
*
Xia Yan was drowsy during the Finance Department course.
He hid in the corner, quietly playing with his mobile phone. Because Shen Wenqing was quite famous, the professors knew that he was just here to attend the class, so they turned a blind eye and ignored him.
When he didn't notice, the progress bar on the system panel moved forward rapidly.
200…369…468…
Finally, the progress bar of Task 5 stopped at 732. It was only about one-third away from completing the task that was hated by a thousand people from S University.
A class lasts for 45 minutes.
The professor left at the appointed time.
Shen Wenqing did not need to change classrooms for his second class, so except for a few people, everyone stayed in their original seats. The Omega in the front seat turned around and glanced at Shen Wenqing cautiously, then looked at Xia Yan.
Shen Wenqing said, "Is there something wrong?"
"Senior Shen." The Omega was a little silly, and his eyes were filled with gossip. "I heard that you gave your boyfriend a gift worth 10 million US dollars. Is that true?"
"Where did you hear that?" Shen Wenqing frowned.
"I..." Omega stammered, "Everyone is talking about it on the forum."
Xia Yan also came over and asked curiously, "Isn't it five million US dollars?" After a pause, he suddenly realized, "That's right, it's been so many years, it's time for the price to increase."
Omega: "!!!" It's actually true! !
He wanted to eat melons, but someone next to him was staring at him, with a cold aura, as if he wanted to kill him. He turned back in fear and couldn't wait to post a message to share the situation.
As the saying goes, people's words are scary. Shen Wenqing naturally understood that Xia Yan's various behaviors would inevitably be scolded if they were put on a public platform.
- Even if he did it voluntarily.
He took out his mobile phone and wanted to contact the moderator to delete the post, but found that the forum was wailing, and everyone was pitying his banned account.
Has someone already taken action?
Shen Wenqing was relieved.
Xia Yan only focused on his own task five at this time. He had already completed more than half of it. He couldn't help but show some joy on his face. He rolled his eyes and looked at the Omega who had just asked the question.
This kid, at first glance, is an assistant who loves to eat melons.
Xia Yan touched his nose, thought of the words in his mind, reached out and patted the Omega's shoulder, pretending to be curious: "What are people talking about in the forum?
" The Omega shuddered violently when he was caught eating melons behind his back and stammered: "No, nothing.
" "Did anyone say bad things about me?
" The Omega lied without blinking: "No."
"Really?"
"..."
"Tsk! I knew it." Xia Yan shrugged and said righteously: "I just like money, what's wrong with that?"
Shen Wenqing nodded in agreement.
Omega: "Uh."
Their attitude was so natural that Omega's inner feelings also changed.
Yeah! Who in this world doesn't like money? Xia Yan liked it openly. He didn't cheat anyone, and he didn't deliberately cheat people of their money. Why should he be hung up?
After a ten-second silence, he looked up and nodded seriously: "You are right."
"?"
Omega lowered his head, pressed his mobile phone, and typed: "I will correct their wrong views now."
Xia Yan: "???" Wait, are you too easily brainwashed?
The next day was even more magical.
There were always students from S University coming over and asking questions. Xia Yan, in line with the principle of mission first, told everything he knew.
He was just short of carving the three words "curse me now" on his face.
But everyone who came to see him would first blush and lose their momentum, and even when they questioned him, they would speak softly and in a gentle voice.
Xia Yan felt that this was not okay.
He was deliberately fierce.
But little did they know that the young man with a gorgeous appearance, who was already dazzling, now had a bit of anger in his eyebrows, adding a bit of vitality.
Everyone: "..." Oops, it's a heart-beating feeling.
He likes money and worships money.
But he doesn't hide it, and he speaks directly to anyone who asks, not afraid of rumors.
In a way, isn't it another way to stick to his heart.
Xia Yan: "..."
*
Forum.
[Brothers, I see Xia Yan is back, he is really good-looking, has a nice voice, and a good personality. In short, I think he is worth 10 million. 】
【Isn't it just money? Give it to him. 】
【The truth that beauty is only worthy of the 'strong', is there anyone who doesn't understand? 】
【Cold knowledge: Education has nothing to do with character. You are narrow-minded because you look down on others because of poor academic performance. 】
...
Some people suddenly appeared in the forum and strongly supported Xia Yan, which made the others a little confused.
【Wait... I remember that the host said earlier that Xia Yan worships money and is not worthy of Shen Wenqing, right? 】
【What kind of magic does Xia Yan have! He turned you all against him. 】
【Go back to the upper floor. If you are curious, you can try it yourself. Anyway, he is really... very different. I can't explain the feeling of loving money from the inside out, but not being worldly for money. He is so bad, I love him so much. 】
【Are there any problems with your brains? 】
The news on the forum spread more and more widely.
Everyone couldn't wait to talk to their friends and convey their own ideas. If someone dislikes him, his friends will also dislike him, and if someone likes him, his friends will also like him.
So.
Xia Yan's task was increased again, and finally got stuck at 908/1000, just one step away from completing the task.
*
It's easy to go from zero to ten points, but it's difficult to go from ninety to one hundred points. In the next few days, the task value went up and down, but it was never completed, and the progress was a little stuck.
Weekend, bar singing day.
In the past, Xia Yan would always go backstage on time, casually draw a few strokes of stage makeup, and then go on stage to perform with his teammates. But this time, he remembered the words of the police.
In the bar, there was a pair of eyes that had been watching them.
If this stalker doesn't intend to let him go, then he will definitely show up in the bar this weekend and spy on him. So...can he do a counter-attack to see who is out of place?
Xia Yan thought seriously.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Wenqing held the young man's waist with one hand, and picked up a bright red strawberry with the other hand and handed it to the young man's mouth.
The strawberry was as big as a palm, fresh and juicy, sweet and delicious. The young man couldn't finish it in one bite, so he only bit off half of it. The juice soaked his lips and stained a layer of crystal film.
He said vaguely: "Thinking about the band's performance tonight."
"Is there any problem?"
"..."
It was not until this time that Xia Yan reacted that he seemed, probably, and seemingly had not told Shen Wenqing about the stalker.
"?"
Shen Wenqing looked at him in confusion, with trust and tolerance in his eyes.
Xia Yan avoided his eyes guiltily and took a bite of the strawberry: "The band has something to do, so we need to go there in advance."
"I'll go with you."
"No need." Xia Yan quickly refused, "You usually have a lot of classes and have to deal with company matters. You're too busy. It's hard to rest for a day, so you can enjoy life at home."
The considerate reason was impeccable.
Shen Wenqing looked at him for a while, his eyes were dark, but there was a little smile at the corner of his lips: "Okay!"
*
Three Degrees Bar.
Every Sunday is the busiest day of the bar.
Countless regular customers come in early, sit in their seats, drink and chat with friends, and look forward to the band's performance tonight.
Even though everyone knows that Xia Yan has a boyfriend.
But everyone has the same idea in their hearts.
——That restless Beta will dump the other party sooner or later, and I have to get to know him in advance and take the opportunity to get promoted.
In a corner where no one noticed, Xia Yan, wearing a duckbill cap and a mask, leaned on the sofa, observing the people around him inconspicuously.
Unfortunately, the dim light was the best cover.
He watched for half an hour, but didn't see anything. Instead, his eyes were sore, exhausted, and his right eyelid kept twitching.
Xia Yan: "..."
He walked to the bar helplessly and knocked on the counter: "Do you have eye drops?"
There was only one person at the bar, Xu Rang's apprentice, who was wiping cups. When he heard Xia Yan's words, he hurried over and asked worriedly: "Brother Xia, what's wrong with you? Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Xia Yan nodded lazily: "Yeah."
"Wait a minute, I'll find it."
Since Xia Yan always asked the bar for messy things, there was a drawer specially for him to put things. Alpha found a bottle of eye drops, glanced at the unpacking date, and made sure it was within the expiration date before handing it to him.
The cold medicine dripped into the eyes, staining the young man's eyelashes, and his eyeballs were wet, as if he had just cried.
Alpha's breathing suddenly became rapid, and was covered by the voices around him.
The eye drops couldn't stop Xia Yan's eyelids from twitching, but they made his dry eyes feel much better. He handed the remaining eye drops back: "Thank you." He
opened the bag and took out two hundred yuan as a tip.
"Thank you, Brother Xia."
Alpha took the money with a warm attitude, but he didn't seem very happy. Instead, he looked... a little disappointed.
Xia Yan was a little surprised: "Aren't you happy to make money?"
"I just think... I feel ashamed to get so much money for just taking something." Alpha smiled innocently, "Brother Xia, you should save some money and don't spend it carelessly."
Xia Yan shrugged: "It's just a little money."
Because he had a performance tonight, he didn't drink, but just sat for a while, and left before people around him were ready to strike up a conversation.
There are two ways to the backstage of the hotel.
One is to go directly inside the bar, through the staff passage, pass by the waiters' dressing room and lounge, and then reach the band's backstage. The
other
way
is to enter from the outside. In this case, the route is the band's backstage, the waiters' lounge, and the dressing room.
Since the bar was packed today, if you want to walk inside, you need to brush past a group of men and women. Xia Yan chose the outside without saying a word.
Although you need to walk a few more steps, there is no need for physical contact.
Compared with the hustle and bustle indoors, the outside seems much quieter, especially the back door of the bar, which is deliberately opened in a secluded corner to avoid bumping into guests.
Xia Yan put on a hat and a mask and walked forward.
I don't know how long it took, and I was about to reach the back door after turning another corner, but the familiar quarreling sound made him stop.
"I can go alone, you don't have to follow me."
"Do you have to be so angry? I didn't know it was a blind date. My dad tricked me into going there, saying that my family was having a meal together, so I went."
"You still don't understand what I'm angry about?"
Yan Ming: "How would I know if you don't explain it clearly?"
"I'm not angry that you were tricked into a blind date." Tang Zihang was so angry that he was shaking all over. "I'm not an unreasonable person, but your attitude is the biggest problem."
"Explain it clearly."
Tang Zihang questioned: "When we met in the restaurant, why didn't you want to introduce me to your parents as your boyfriend?"
Yan Ming looked incredible: "We just started dating, and we have to meet our parents right away? It's not that fast even riding a rocket."
"I didn't mean that. It's just that since we have met, it should be normal to introduce each other and let your uncle and aunt know that you have a boyfriend, right? Instead of calling me a friend."
"Then you're still meeting your parents."
"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?" Tang Zihang wiped away his tears. The boy, who was always handsome and shy, suddenly showed his sharp side at this moment. "You didn't respond to what happened the day before yesterday, but today you suddenly came to my house and asked to come to the bar with me."
"Yesterday was the time I gave you to calm down."
"Heh." Tang Zihang sneered, "Chilling time? If you were dating Xia Yan, and he was the one you were dating at the time, would you let him calm down?"
The man's face suddenly sank: "This is a matter between the two of us, why did you mention him?"
Xia Yan, who was suddenly called: "..."
"Because you can't forget him!!!" Tang Zihang raised his voice, "You came here today. Do you want to accompany me or see him? You know it in your heart."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Having said that, Tang Zihang stopped pretending and said clearly: "I had some doubts before, but I kept telling myself to believe you."
"Can you guarantee that you have forgotten Xia Yan?"
"..."
"You dare not." The young man's fair face turned red with anger, "You have a copy of the post on the S University forum. You deliberately discredited him and wanted Shen Wenqing to break up with him."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Hehe, didn't you ruin Xia Yan's reputation in the bar?" Tang Zihang sneered, "Why are you pretending to be a good person now?" Yan Ming
hesitated and was speechless.
Tang Zihang waved his hands tiredly: "Okay, you don't have to explain. Yan Ming, we break up, you don't have to come to me in the future, you can continue to chase your male god."
"But..." He looked up and down, "With Shen Wenqing as your boyfriend, how can he be interested in you when he loves money so much?"
Although he didn't know Shen Wenqing's family background, he spent tens of millions of dollars at a time, obviously a rich young man.
At least he is richer than Yan Ming who can only take out a few million.
It's strange to say that Yan Ming usually likes to scold Xia Yan for being materialistic, but suddenly he heard others belittling him, but he was particularly upset.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and blew out a smoke ring.
"Don't you like money?"
Tang Zihang: "What do you mean?"
"Three-digit roses, four-digit candlelight dinners, five-digit gifts..." The man raised his head and looked down at him, "Every romance you like is made with money. Without money, would you like me?"
"..."
"We have been dating for more than 20 days, and I have given you a lot of gifts, adding up to hundreds of thousands." After a pause, he continued: "I almost forgot, there is also that ring, two or three million."
"With your current job, you can't make that much money in two years."
"You don't suffer any loss in dating me, but now you are acting like a resentful husband. Is it interesting?" Yan Ming's mouth was very poisonous and his words were merciless.
The boy's heart, which originally held a glimmer of fantasy, was completely crushed.
He wiped away his tears with his sleeve: "Isn't it just a ring? I'll give it back to you tonight."
"Tsk! No need, I'm not so stingy as to take back the gift I gave away." Yan Ming threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on the flame, and left with his hands in his pockets.
Now that his thoughts have been exposed, there is no need to act.
The romantic love story of getting close to a stand-in because of Bai Yueguang and eventually falling in love with the stand-in is nothing more than because Bai Yueguang is not unforgettable enough.
He thought casually.
Who can fall in love with someone else casually after meeting Xia Yan?
An autumn breeze blew, lifting the man's windbreaker. Passing the corner, he stopped abruptly, and turned from a dirty scumbag into an emoticon.
"Xia Xia Xia Yan!!!"
Tang Zihang, who was about to enter the door, was stunned and also stunned.
Xia Yan: "..." To be honest, he didn't mean to eavesdrop. Do these two people believe it?
In the awkward atmosphere, as long as he took the initiative, he would not be embarrassed. Xia Yan made a prompt decision and immediately asked: "Did you post a message to slander me?"
When facing Tang Zihang, the Alpha, who was extremely tough, softened at this time and shook his head like a wave drum: "No, it's not me, it's all misunderstanding."
