Chapter 16
After climbing over the wall and returning home to feed Maotuan, and watching the little guy finish a small can of staple food, Lan Yexing touched Maotuan's fur, which had become much cleaner and smoother, and decided to take it to the hospital for sterilization when it grows up a little bit.
After feeding the baby and spending some time with the little one, Lan Yexing climbed over the wall and returned to school, entering the dormitory building almost at curfew.
In the dormitory, Jiang Xiaozhou was watching the end of the fireworks on the step-through balcony. Lan Yexing was exhausted after a busy day. He took a comfortable shower and threw himself on the bed, hugging the lambskin quilt he had bought not long ago and closed his eyes.
Jiang Xiaozhou was startled when he noticed the boy's actions, then he went back into the room quietly, turned off the chandelier, and left only the small table lamp on his desk.
At this moment, someone knocked on the dormitory door. Lan Yexing frowned slightly and subconsciously buried his face deeply in the quilt. Jiang Xiaozhou hurried to open the door, but after the door was opened, he stayed outside the room and closed the door, leaving Lan Yexing with a quiet space to rest.
The one knocking on the door was an omega with pheromones that smelled sweet like toffee. He had a pair of slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes, which were unforgettable once you had seen them - it was as if they could see through anyone's heart.
The Omega smiled cutely and deliberately: "Hi, remember me? I'm back for class."
Jiang Xiaozhou looked at those eyes and immediately exclaimed, "You are the student Su Lou who took a leave of absence due to illness!"
When the first semester started, two students in their literature department took leave of absence due to illness. One was Lan Yexing, who did not report to school at all, and the other was Su Lou, who only came to the first day to attend the opening ceremony and then went through the leave of absence procedures.
Jiang Xiaozhou: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Su Lou glanced at the closed door intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "I heard that classmate Lan Yexing is in the same situation as me. I want to get to know him."
Jiang Xiaozhou was about to say that Lan Yexing had gone to bed and he could go find him before class tomorrow, but Su Lou's eyes suddenly darkened for a moment. Jiang Xiaozhou said "Huh?" and fell into a blank and confused state. His hand grasped the door handle uncontrollably, and he murmured, "Okay, I'll help you wake up Lan Yexing."
A satisfied smile immediately appeared on Su Lou's face.
But before the door was opened, another sweet voice interrupted: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xiaozhou was startled, then immediately came to his senses. He opened his eyes wide and looked at his hand on the door handle in shock: What just happened...
Su Lou frowned suddenly.
Janes from the next door dormitory had already stood in front of Jiang Xiaozhou, tilted his head and smiled sweetly at Su Lou: "Student Su, it's not good to use mental power on classmates just after arriving at school, right?"
At this time, the lights-out bell rang, and the warden had already started going upstairs to check the rooms. Su Lou looked at Janes coldly, then turned and left.
Jiang Xiaozhou was still in a daze: "This is..."
Janes looked at his back, the smile on his face inexplicably turned a little cold. He said lightly, "He is very famous in our circle. He was the only one left in his family due to an accident. He was adopted and raised by the royal family. His mental power is [Consciousness Induction]."
What it literally means is that he can directly control and guide other people's consciousness, so he has very bad popularity.
Before returning to the dormitory, Janes looked at Jiang Xiaozhou with an even wider smile on his face: "Next time he comes over, you must drive him away directly."
He didn't want that kind of guy to get close to Xiaoxing.
Jiang Xiaozhou nodded, not quite understanding.
…
Lan Yexing had no idea about this. He slept very well and went to Wednesday's morning class in high spirits the next day.
And that day, he was very happy not to receive any tasks, and he enjoyed an ordinary and fulfilling day of university campus life.
This made him feel very happy: not only was he happy that he could take a short break for a day, but he was even more happy that Qiao You was not entangled by any strange pervert.
However, an omega named Su Lou who came back from a leave of absence was a little strange.
During class, he sat near him and always looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, as if he had something to say. But he seemed to be very sensitive about Janes, so he never approached her directly to talk to her.
Lan Yexing thought that he already had enough things to do and had no intention of getting into new trouble, so he ignored the other party.
The perfect day passed like this, until before going to bed at night, a new friend request popped up on Lan Yexing’s new social account after coming into this world:
【Qiao You】
Lan Yexing: “…” I really wanted to ask him how he got his account.
But thinking back on his ability to thoroughly investigate his surface identity information in this world in just a few days, Lan Yexing felt that he might already know the answer.
He twitched his lips and nodded yes.
He didn't send any more messages, and Qiao You didn't send any messages either. Lan Yexing put his phone on the desk and fell asleep contentedly.
Thursday’s morning class was the beginning of Lan Yexing’s real understanding of this school—the classical poetry class in the Department of Literature.
After he woke up and hadn't gotten out of bed yet, the system issued two rare tasks: [This morning, the target person Qiao You will still come to audit the classical poetry class of the literature department. Before the class, the omega named Su Lou will bring breakfast to Qiao You in order to capture him; the alpha Qi who failed to send flowers the night before will send a bouquet of roses to Qiao You again during the class.]
After a pause, the system added in text: [Except Qi Zhong's mental power is of the spatial system, Su Lou's mental power is consciousness induction. Please protect yourself and pay attention to safety.]
Lan Yexing lowered his eyes: After completing these two tasks, if we complete it again, we can save up 5 points again. Xiaosong can level up again and perhaps unlock more of himself.
Moreover, although the system reminded him to be careful, the dangers of these two missions were almost fairy-tale level compared to the previous ones.
Lan Yexing thought for a moment and took the initiative to send a message to Qiao You: [Senior, can you not come to audit our professional class today? ] This is the most convenient way to complete two tasks at once.
After sending the message, Lan Yexing suddenly felt that the tone was too stiff and that he was looking for trouble. He thought for a moment and added: [I can lend you my notes from this class later.] He also added a cute friendly expression at the end.
However, he still felt a little unsure: after all, they were not actually very familiar with each other, and it was really presumptuous for him to send such a message.
When Lan Yexing came out after washing up, he received a simple and neat reply from Qiao You: [Send the notes to football field No. 1 at 2 pm. (Smile.jpg)]
Lan Yexing's eyes lit up: He agreed!
Moreover, he also had a football class at the No. 1 football field in the afternoon, so delivering his notes was just a matter of convenience.
The smoothness with which these two tasks were completed was so perfect and dreamy!
Jiang Xiaozhou, who was packing his schoolbag, looked at the rare childish happiness on the boy's face and couldn't help but smile: "Xiaoxing, what good thing happened to you?"
Lan Yexing put away his phone, picked up the canvas bag, smiled brightly and nodded - it was indeed a very good thing!
…
In the morning class, he listened carefully and took notes seriously, and the whole class went smoothly.
It was just a strategy event, so naturally two minor accidents occurred.
The first surprise was that when he entered the classroom, he saw the omega named Su Lou sitting next to the seat where Qiao You had sat last week. He took out a sandwich and milk from his schoolbag and placed them on Qiao You's desk with a sweet look on his face.
The second surprise was that in the middle of the class, the alpha named Qi Zhong broke into the classroom holding a large bouquet of roses.
But Qiao You never came, and both of their plans fell through.
Qi Zhong really didn't seem to be the paranoid kind of person. He seemed to be in a good mood and smiled and said to himself, "I didn't come today." Then he left by himself with the bouquet of flowers, leaving the professor so angry that he glared at him.
But after class, when Janes left, Su Lou looked in the direction of Lan Yexing thoughtfully.
After that, the student sitting in front of Lan Yexing turned around mechanically, and with a confused and terrified look on his face, he stabbed the back of Lan Yexing's left hand, which was placed on the table, with the sharp tip of the pen in his hand.
Lan Yexing's pupils shrank and he withdrew his hand in time. His other hand neatly grasped the wrist of the other person who changed direction and was about to stab his eyes again.
The student loosened his grip instantly. He looked at his hand in disbelief with wide eyes and stammered, "I, I--" How should he explain that he really didn't mean it?
It was as if my body moved on its own...
Lan Yexing smiled politely: "It's okay. I know you didn't mean it."
The student looked at him in shock and gratitude, apologized repeatedly and left.
Lan Yexing's face turned cold then, and he turned to look at Su Lou's seat: Su Lou just left, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with him.
Lan Yexing's eyes were very cold at this moment: he had no direct evidence that it was Su Lou who did it using the so-called [consciousness induction].
He was just very sensitive to malicious gazes. Since yesterday, the omega had looked at him more than once.
Lan Yexing wrote down these details and left the classroom.
After dinner, he went to the dormitory to change into the jersey he would wear for the afternoon football class. Thinking of the great physical exertion in last week's football class and the need to replenish his energy during the class, he went to the convenience store again and bought pudding bread and milk.
Even so, it was still very early when he arrived at Football Field No. 1, only half past one.
The players have already started training on the green field, enjoying their youthfulness, but Qiao You seems to have something to do and is not among them.
Lan Yexing was standing at the edge of the fence, about to send a message to tell the other party that he had arrived early and asked if Fang could come over to get his notes, when the indifferent mechanical voice of the system suddenly sounded:
[Qiao You and some team members were called to a meeting by the coach. Su Lou is now waiting for Qiao You in the empty audience seat. He bribed the staff of the football club to trick Qiao You to come to him after the meeting in ten minutes. He wants to confess his love to him.]
【At this time, Qi Zhong was holding a rose on his way to the No. 1 football field. 】
[Host, please prevent these two attacking incidents from happening. ]
Lan Yexing: “…”
He really shouldn't have said that Qi Zhong was a non-persistent person. This rose had to be given away, right?
But the good thing is that after completing these two tasks, Xiao Song will be able to level up again.
Lan Yexing lowered his eyes and looked at the phone in his hand: he knew it was not surprising that Qiao You would come to audit the classical poetry class - after all, Qiao You had come to audit the class last week, so he could ask the other party in advance if he could not come.
But the staff's deception was something that was about to happen but had not happened yet. He had no way of sending a message to remind the other party now. Even if he did, Qiao You might not believe it - they were not that familiar with each other.
Moreover, even if he believed it, how would he explain it to Qiao You afterwards? Qiao You had let go of the loophole he blurted out last night, and he didn't think he would let it go a second time.
Lan Yexing thought for a moment, put away his phone, walked around the fence and headed towards the audience stand.
…
The autumn afternoon sun makes the entire green field bright and beautiful.
On the high audience stand, the omega with candy-flavored pheromones heard the approaching footsteps and a triumphant and sweet smile appeared on his face.
He didn't even look at the direction of his footsteps. He just put on his best profile and looked at the football field, and said softly: "Senior Qiao You, I'm sorry, I asked someone to deceive you. I just wanted to be alone with you."
"You know what? Ever since I first saw you at a royal banquet when I was a child, I knew that we were the same kind. We are both orphans, without family, and we grew up by our own efforts. In the process, we had to face countless malicious eyes and ulterior motives..."
"Everyone else in this school approaches you for ulterior motives. I am the only one who truly likes you and I am the only one who truly understands you. Senior Qiao You, let's—"
Lan Yexing sat down next to the omega and said calmly, "I'm so sorry to interrupt you."
Su Lou's pupils shrank, and he looked at Lan Yexing fiercely: "Why is it you!"
Lan Yexing lied without any guilt: "I told him that you asked others to lie to him."
He looked at the omega and smiled: "So, do you think he will come again?"
Su Lou's almond-shaped eyes couldn't help but show blatant malice: "I heard that you have been very close to him recently..."
Lan Yexing raised an eyebrow and observed the other person's expression, then sighed nonchalantly, "So this is human nature. What happened to me in the classroom was caused by you, right?"
Su Lou smiled maliciously: "So what?" He had checked it out. This man was just the son of a wool merchant. What could he do to him?
After confirming, Lan Yexing looked forward and said calmly: "Let me make it clear that I am not the kind of person who would generously forgive others if I am targeted."
Su Lou opened his eyes wide and was about to say something when he suddenly screamed "Ah!" He looked fiercely at his two hands which seemed to have been electrocuted just now. At this time, the backs of both hands were already red from the electric shock.
Lan Yexing: "We are even now."
Su Lou was so angry that his face turned red, and malice kept surging up. He looked at the players on the green field, his pupils brightened to the utmost. Then, a player on the field suddenly lost control. With a scream, he kicked the ball at his feet towards Lan Yexing in the audience.
A clear layer of electric current covered Lan Yexing's right wrist, and the iron mesh fence beside the audience stand trembled slightly. At the moment the ball hit, it was stretched and elongated by the electric current into a net-like shape, which steadily stopped the rapidly spinning ball. Sparks flew, and the ball rubbed against the net, making a crackling sound.
There was an accident and the players rushed here.
Lan Yexing looked at Su Lou coldly: "You really are a stubborn person."
At this moment, Qi Zhong had already walked to the audience stand with a bunch of roses, preparing to go into the lounge from the audience channel to find Qiao You.
Lan Yexing was just about to put the ball down and use electric current to teach Su Lou a lesson, when his pupils suddenly shrank: he saw the iron fence twisted and pulled away from the ball. The ball suddenly lost control and smashed towards Qi Zhong and his roses.
There was a loud bang.
Countless red flowers were smashed away, and Qi finally fell to the ground, holding his nose.
From a third-party perspective, the ball suddenly lost control and hit the fence, knocking the net crooked, and then bounced off the net, and Qi was unfortunately hit.
Lan Yexing: “…” What an unexpected development.
However, the second task was completed by accident?
At the intersection of light and shadow that no one noticed in the audience channel, the blond young man turned around arrogantly and left quietly, sending a message on his mobile phone.
…
At this time, the players have arrived here. The out-of-control player seems to belong to some big family. He knows Su Lou. He looked up fiercely and said, "You, Su, dare to use your power against me, you will die!"
"Do you know how dangerous it was just now? What if I hurt someone?"
Su Lou opened his eyes wide in shock: "I——" The person he wanted to control just now was obviously not this person! It should be just an ordinary player!
Qi Zhong also stood up at this time. He covered his nose and smiled as he looked at Su Lou, but there was a terrifying hostility in his eyes: "Student Su, it's okay for you to use this method to stop me from looking for Qiao You, but do you really think that no one will dare to touch you when the royal family is here?"
Su Lou opened his eyes wide and was speechless: "I really didn't, I——"
…
Lan Yexing looked at this scene in shock.
The scene was too chaotic. Several players had already jumped directly onto the stands. Su Lou had become the center of events, and no one paid attention to Lan Yexing anymore.
When a player tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to move away, Lan Yexing glanced at Su Lou indifferently and simply got up and left.
The moment I walked down from the audience stand, my cell phone rang.
Lan Yexing turned on his phone and saw a message:
[Junior, aren't you going to give me your notes? I'm in the lounge, where are you? (Smile.jpg) by Qiao You]
