Chapter 28
The next day was Thursday, and Lan Yexing and Qiao You set out on their return journey.
When he returned to Xingdu University, it was already around ten o'clock in the morning. After parting with Qiao You on campus, Lan Yexing even caught up with a professional class.
But the journey was really tiring, and as soon as the get out of class was over, Lan Yexing lay down on the table with a pale face, ready to catch up on his sleep.
Janes on the side blinked and patted Lan Yexing on the shoulder: "Bring you lunch?"
Lan Yexing raised his hand, and even his voice was a little muffled: "Sorry for the trouble, thank you."
Janes looked at the boy lying on the table with a slender white neck, almost dotingly. He was about to say something when his eyes caught sight of something next to Lan Yexing's elbow. He smiled and asked, "Xiaoxing, did you get a new phone?"
It was the latest model of mobile phone on the market, and it also had a heavy, glittering gold star pendant on it. This phone was already very expensive, but the pendant was obviously much more expensive than the phone itself.
Lan Yexing paused when he heard this, and the tips of his ears turned red for some reason: "My original phone was broken, so a friend gave me this one."
Last night, when he happily placed a plate of fresh lychees that were not available in autumn in front of Qiao You, the blond young man smiled and casually threw the mobile phone he bought when buying medicine into his hand.
Things like mobile phones and gold jewelry were so valuable that Lan Yexing didn't want to accept them. However, the young man just looked at him with a meaningful smile and said in a cold voice that it was a kind of upbringing not to waste and ruin his rare moments of enjoying spending money.
After Qiao finished his speech, he left the room without giving him any chance to retreat or refute.
Moreover, Qiao You probably had a serious obsession with cleanliness. Even if it was a large, luxurious, and well-equipped suite like this, he couldn't tolerate sleeping in the same room with another person. He opened a new room.
Fortunately, he still took the plate of lychees away.
After coming back to his senses, Lan Yexing continued seriously, "That's it. My phone broke down a few days ago. I'm sorry if I didn't reply to your message in time."
Janes looked at the phone thoughtfully and smiled: "It doesn't matter."
He was in a subtle mood and did not ask which friend it was. He just said, "Wait, I'll be back in ten minutes and we'll have dinner together."
After saying that, he left the classroom, and Lan Yexing was the only one left in the empty classroom.
He soon fell asleep in the cool, bright sunshine of the autumn afternoon.
However, ten minutes later, Janes still hadn't returned.
Two hours later, Lan Yexing finished catching up on his sleep and straightened up from his arms. The professional class in the same classroom in the afternoon was about to begin, but Janes still did not sit next to him as usual.
At this time, there were already some students in the classroom. Before class, everyone was chatting, playing with their phones, and doing their own things in the classroom, making a lot of noise. However, Lan Yexing noticed that several classmates, including Jiang Xiaozhou, who were usually familiar with him, were looking at him with curiosity.
He frowned slightly and simply stood up to look for Janes. Soon, he saw Janes sitting in the front rows, handing the packed steak to the person next to him. The omega with gray curly hair and blue eyes curved his eyes and said in a sweet and gentle voice: "Where did you go just now? I can't find you when I come back. Class is about to start now, so you can eat after class."
Lan Yexing was startled, and looked at the person Janes was talking to with a serious expression. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes wide:
It was the omega who [extracted and analyzed] mental power that he had taught a lesson in the elevator last night...
Xiao Song later said that his name was Bai Qu, and he was a good friend of Leon who grew up together. He liked to pry into other people's privacy and had a very strange personality. Even though he was born in a large family, he almost never showed up in public.
As if he had noticed Lan Yexing's gaze, Bai Qu, who had accepted the steak, slowly turned around, and across half the classroom, he looked straight into Lan Yexing's eyes with a smile.
There was a gleam of provocative malice in those red eyes.
As if to show off, he raised his hand in front of Lan Yexing, with his fingers bent, and blood slowly oozed from the neck of Janes, who was reading a book on literary theory after delivering the steak - as if the blood would fall silently into the hands of the omega in the next moment. And Janes was unaware of it.
Lan Yexing's expression suddenly turned cold, and he strode to the row of seats, grabbed Janes' wrist tightly, pulled her up, and protected her behind him. The blood from Janes' neck instantly seeped back into her body.
The whole classroom suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on Lan Yexing.
Bai Qu was not angry even though he failed to obtain Janes' blood. He just stared at the boy with that malicious smile as usual, as if he knew that the boy would fall into the abyss soon.
Lan Yexing looked at him expressionlessly: "What did you do?" In this weird situation, it seemed like this guy was causing trouble.
But before he could finish his words, a sweet voice sounded from behind.
Janes, who was protected by him, looked at Lan Yexing's back curiously and asked, "Classmate, who are you?"
Lan Yexing's body stiffened and he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He turned to look at his friend and said in a hoarse voice: "You don't recognize me."
Janes was about to put on his usual distant and cute smile, but when he saw the boy's sad face, he was startled, as if his heart was stabbed by something. He subconsciously lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "What's your name? So, I should know you, right?"
At this time, some students in the classroom also started to make a noise, "Yeah, classmate, who are you? Are you from the Foreign Affairs College here to audit our professional course? To audit a class, you have to email the professor in advance~"
Lan Yexing, who had calmed down, ignored those voices. He just looked at Janes seriously, pointed at Bai Qu, and asked calmly: "Who is he in your eyes?"
Janes' pupils shrank.
He shouldn't have answered a stranger's private question, but as if driven by instinct, he answered honestly: "My friend, Bai Qu. We met because I was feeding a white cat. Later, I accidentally fell and he helped me treat the wound. After that, we became friends."
However, he had other thoughts about this friend...
Lan Yexing lowered his eyes when he heard this: It seems that this is the mental power that can tamper with a person's identity.
Bai Qu himself is not a member of the royal family, and he only has one kind of mental power, which is [Extraction and Analysis]. And he was sent by Leon, so this strange mental power is likely one of the two mental powers Leon possesses.
No matter what form this mental power takes, he can't let such a person hurt her friends.
After thinking for a moment, Lan Yexing looked at Janes and smiled: "I am the person sent by your father."
Janes paused, his face full of confusion: "What?"
Lan Yexing pointed at Bai Qu and said, "Your father asked me to come here to tell you that he found out that your friend has ulterior motives towards you, and he wants you to stay away from him."
Janes has a very special relationship with his father. He doesn't have a good relationship with his father, but he listens to his father very much. So when he makes such a request that is in line with Jane's father's style and highly credible, Janes will not go to his father to verify it, but will do it.
Janes looked at him in surprise and doubt, but Lan Yexing had already passed him and was walking out of the classroom.
At this time, Bai Qu, who had been waiting to appreciate Lan Yexing's painful expression, stood up and said, "Stop." He pointed at the phone in Lan Yexing's hand and said, "My strange classmate, you stole my phone. Where are you going to take it?"
Bai Qu: "Which classmate can help me call the police? This thief should be put in jail!"
He looked at Lan Yexing's stopped back and a happy yet malicious smile appeared on his face: After the identity is transferred, all the original owner's property, interpersonal relationships, and emotional connections will belong to him.
No matter where the things in Lan Yexing's hands came from, they now belong to him.
Not only did he want Lan Yexing to lose everything, he also wanted him to become a thief that everyone despised.
“Sizzle——”
"ah!!!"
The Omega was electrocuted so hard that his whole body convulsed and he fell to the ground in pain, rolling around in a mess.
There was an uproar in the classroom. A weak electric current flowed through Lan Yexing's right arm, and he left the classroom without looking back.
Su Lou, who was sitting in the corner of the last row, looked at the scene in doubt and uncertainty. Finally, he fixed his sight on Lan Yexing.
Janes also looked at Lan Yexing's back thoughtfully. At this time, Bai Que on the ground stretched out his hand to him: "Hey, give me a hand. Your friend is being treated like this, and you just stand by and watch?"
"He stole and intentionally injured me. You should call the police and have him arrested for me now!"
Janes turned around and looked him up and down with a vague and indistinguishable gaze. Then he tilted his head and smiled sweetly: "But there is no evidence of theft. As for intentional injury, I think that classmate was just joking with you. Look, you are fine now, aren't you?"
He smiled and glanced towards the classroom, winking adorably, "Everyone says, right?"
The classroom suddenly fell silent, and several students who had picked up their phones to call the police put them down silently - everyone knew that no one in the Department of Literature dared to offend Janes.
…
Lan Yexing sat on a bench near the sculpture fountain in the central square and sighed softly.
This is the time of the day when the sun is at its best and most comfortable. Many students who have no classes pass by this road together and go to the King's Lake for a visit.
Lan Yexing closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh air. After the anger that had just surged in his chest had completely dissipated, he opened his light-colored eyes and asked gently and calmly, "Xiao Song, do you know what's going on?"
Or, does Xiao Song still recognize him...
System: [Hello host.]
I hope this can alleviate the host's sadness.
Lan Yexing was stunned and narrowed his eyes: Xiaosong still remembers him.
System: [It is Prince Leon's identity transfer. This kind of mental power can transfer a person's identity background, personal experience, property, interpersonal relationships, emotional connection, etc. to another person. Leon used this mental power on the host and Shiratori, which means that even if the two people still have their own names... the host has now been replaced by Shiratori. ]
Everything the host owned now belonged to the thief, and all those who had a bond with the host or knew the host would no longer remember the host.
The reason why it is not affected is that the host it is connected to is above all spiritual power.
The system's voice contained guilt and self-blame: [Sorry, I didn't have the ability to detect it in advance. ]
Perhaps it was because Leon's motivation for using his ability was not to capture Qiao You, so the host that was able to perceive everything did not give him a task...
The condition for the activation of this mental power is only that the recipient - that is, Bai Qu - accepts this matter from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, the host's identity was stolen without anyone noticing.
And now it knows this because... the strategy event is about to happen, so the host transmitted the relevant data.
The system hesitated and said: [Qiao You is currently training for the top 8 of the college league at the No. 1 football field. Bai Qu will go to the No. 1 football field after class, which is in the evening...]
Lan Yexing stroked the golden star on his phone, his expression cold: "He plans to capture Qiao You?"
System: [No, he intends to help Lin Qian capture Qiao You.]
If Leon's direct purpose of transferring Bai Qu's identity was to have Bai Qu capture Qiao You, then the host would definitely issue the task in advance. However, Bai Qu was only an indirect helper, so the host would be so passive like now...
The system continued: [Bai Qu is now the host. He will use the host's familiarity with Qiao You to ask Qiao You to take him to the lounge. Then, he will place strong aphrodisiacs in the lounge, and bring Lin Qian in while Qiao You is training. When Qiao You goes to the lounge to rest, he will lock the two of them in the lounge together to create a private space for them.]
System: [Host, please prevent this attack from happening while protecting your own safety. ]
Lan Yexing tightened his grip on the golden star's hand and said expressionlessly, "How despicable."
He thought for a moment, opened his phone and looked at the address book, but was shocked: it was blank.
His mobile phone card can no longer be used, and his social media accounts can no longer be logged in.
In this world, mobile phone numbers and social media accounts can be reported lost online using identity proof, and can then be re-bound to the phone. People who accidentally lose their mobile phone cards or accounts can get their lost items back in this way.
It seems that Bai Qu has achieved this step with the identity he obtained. Now he has no way to send a message directly to Qiao You to remind him.
So Lan Yexing stood up and walked towards football field No. 1.
…
It was almost evening when Lan Yexing arrived at the green field.
The regular members of the football team had just finished one round of training and started a 15-minute break.
Through the isolation net, Lan Yexing saw that the other athletes were gathered together talking and chatting. A tall and handsome blond young man wearing a jersey and holding a clean white towel casually in his hand was walking in front with a cold expression.
Then, he stood by the sink outside the lounge, leaned over slightly, turned on the faucet, and washed his face and blond hair.
After straightening up, he was wiping his face with the clean towel. At the same time, the muscles of his forearms and his brilliant blond hair were covered with crystal clear water droplets. He looked as handsome as a god in the sunset.
Lan Yexing saw out of the corner of his eye that Bai Qu, who had already finished class, had already come to the grid in another direction. He was waving at Qiao You's alpha friend, and the sunny alpha actually went over when he saw him.
Lan Yexing's eyes turned cold: There's no time to think about anything more.
He stretched out his hands to grab the grid, exerted a little force, jumped up neatly and lightly, and flipped in.
Then he strode towards the pool.
…
Bai Que had already arrived one step ahead. The alpha was leading the now shy and obedient omega to stand beside the pool. He was pointing at the omega and said enthusiastically to the blond young man, "Qiao You, your junior is here to see you again."
He patted Qiao You's broad shoulders and teased, "Hey, little brother wants to see you for something. He said he really wants to see you. Tsk, tsk, he kept saying how much he admires you and likes you all the way. I was really envious. You two can go to the lounge and have a good chat. There's still more than ten minutes of break time."
The tall and handsome young man paused and slowly took off the white towel on his face, revealing a pair of arrogant, distant, beautiful and bright green eyes.
He glanced at the omega behind the alpha, and an extremely cold and terrifying smile slowly appeared on his face.
Because of the experience in the elevator, Bai Qu's breathing stagnated and he was so frightened that he subconsciously took a step back, but then he remembered that his current identity was "Lan Yexing". Even if Qiao You had seen him last night, he would blur his face at that time and only think of him as "Lan Yexing".
So he bravely stood there, and imitated Lan Yexing's address in a sweet and obedient manner: "Senior——"
Under the setting sun at the devil's hour, Qiao You's eyes were dangerous and cold, looking down at him arrogantly as if he were a dead man. His fingers hanging below him were bent obscurely, and he was about to do something -
"Senior!"
A warm, soft hand grasped his arm from behind.
Qiao You's pupils shrank, and he slowly turned around and looked back:
The handsome and lively boy stood in front of him, breathing lightly, probably because he had run over. His black hair was a little messy, his fair cheeks were flushed, his light eyes were clear, and his soft lips were slightly opened, revealing a small piece of snow-white teeth.
His face had a clear, stubborn, and focused expression—he probably didn't know how likely it was to attract covetous attention when he looked at others with that expression...
…
Lan Yexing tightly gripped the muscles on the young man's forearm and refused to let go - after being together for so long, he knew that Qiao You was extremely disgusted and rude to strangers, and he would definitely push the person away coldly at this time.
However, he could not let Qiao You and the other party go to the lounge now.
Lan Yexing looked at the other person gently yet stubbornly, trying hard to choose his words.
After a while, he finally came up with an idea.
He bit his lip and gave the young man a clean and soft smile: "Senior, nice to meet you, my name is Lan Yexing. I have admired you for a long time and want to say something to you. Would it be convenient for you to talk to me alone?"
If he pretended to be a Captor... Qiao You would most likely take him to a deserted place and use his mental power to do to him what he had done to other Captors before - for example, like pulling out three of Yuan Ping's ribs.
At that time, he could escape by stunning Qiao You with electricity - he didn't know what Qiao You's mental power was, and he also knew that Qiao You's mental power might be more terrifying than he imagined, so there was a certain probability that he would not be able to escape.
However, this is the only way now.
Lan Yexing stared at the young man with her beautiful light-colored eyes: "Senior, is it okay?"
Qiao You stood there with his back to the light, looking straight at him. The setting sun seemed to be burning fiercely in his emerald eyes. He locked the boy tightly with his cage-like gaze. After a while, a beautiful smile like luring prey slowly emerged on his face. The arm touched by the boy quickly exerted force and grasped the boy's wrist with his backhand. He said, "Of course, junior."
