Chapter 32 Visitors
After Lin Guantang returned to school, when he opened the terminal again, he found that the attitude of the people in the group towards him was quite subtle.
Because everyone in the group chat was still muted, the specific manifestation was that there was a subtle - perhaps it should be called a shocking - change in the way group members addressed him in private messages.
[Tian Ye]: Although we are not in the same department, our boss said that our Equipment Department and the Execution Department share honor and disgrace, so the boss of the Execution Department is also our boss—even the former boss is still the boss, and the sister-in-law of the Execution Department is also our sister-in-law, so—
[Tian Ye]: From now on, you call me brother, and I'll call you sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll protect you in the name of my long-standing prostitute family! [Clenches fist]
Lin Guantang: ...
I thought he was telling him something about the unspoken rules of the Central Military Academy, but he ended up saying such scary words!
Please don't casually gamble such an important symbol on something that doesn't exist, thank you.
Lin Guantang replied speechlessly.
【Haitang>> Note: Sister-in-law】: I am still single, did you misunderstand something, or did you send it to the wrong person?
[Tian Ye]: I understand. My sister-in-law’s identity must be kept secret outside.
What did you understand!
Lin Guantang was really at a loss for words. How come he didn't know when he had a spouse? And he was talking about the former head of the executive department... Could he be talking about Senior Huo Shizhen?
That was even more impossible. So far, he had only seen Senior Huo's back. How could such a misunderstanding be spread?
So I can only correct it again and again:
[Sister-in-law]: I'm not kidding, I'm really single. What's the point of it being open to the public? Even in private chats, don't call me sister-in-law.
Tian Ye looked at the message sent by his sister-in-law, pondered for a while, and then suddenly realized.
She is indeed an omega who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Boss Huo. She is so thoughtful. Since it is agreed that the sister-in-law's training plan and identity must be kept confidential, she must maintain her personality even in places like private chats. The sister-in-law is really too rigorous.
Tian Ye corrected his mistake as soon as he realized it, changed the note back but added A to the top - to avoid missing news from his sister-in-law, and then changed the title very smoothly.
[Tian Ye]: I understand. I will pay attention to these details. Haitang, I will protect you. I will tell you whatever you want to learn. If you want to learn how to make explosives, I can also teach you.
[A Haitang]: I’d rather not take this.
Lin Guantang politely declined his proposal, as he had no intention of blowing up the academy for the time being.
Lin Guantang flipped through other people's messages.
[Jian Yinglai]: Classmate Lin, nice to introduce myself. My name is Jian Yinglai and I’m affiliated with the External Relations Department of the Central Military Academy. If classmate Lin has any external needs at the O Academy, you can come to me for help.
[Jian Yinglai]: I remember that O College often recommends some banquets and social events for students, but other things cannot be guaranteed. If you want to attend a social banquet and need invitations or clothing accessories, with the financial resources of my Jian family, this can be easily done.
Lin Guantang: What a wealthy and powerful Mr. Jian!
Although Lin Guantang didn't need these for the time being, he still expressed his gratitude.
[Wen Tiange]: Haitang, don’t be afraid just because the group is full of A’s. If you are afraid, you can talk to me. Although I am also an alpha, I am different from other big and strong alphas. I know omegas very well. When you have time, let’s exchange makeup experiences. Omegas should be very good at this, and I happen to be good at it too.
In fact, Wen Tiange is good at disguise, but the goal is the same. In order to make Haitang feel familiar with the same kind of people, it is harmless to slightly change the name of the project he is good at. In a sense, both of them are applying makeup on their faces and finally turning themselves into a look that cannot be identified by facial recognition.
It's really embarrassing to say this. I had previously suspected that Shao Qingbai and classmate Haitang were having an affair, but I didn't expect that the person having an affair with classmate Haitang was actually the devil Huo, who never had any contact with women.
If you think about it this way, Shao Qingbai turned out to be a cover to protect their love.
Wen Tiange decided to treat Shao Qingbai better in the future. This kind of behavior of sacrificing one's own reputation in order to protect other people's love is still very admirable, especially for someone like Shao Qingbai whose mouth is like a colander and can't keep a secret. He was able to keep this secret for such a long time. Even he, a member of the intelligence department, could only recognize the second layer of concealment through the surface pretending to be unfamiliar, and did not see through the real secret at the bottom. He worked really hard.
Lin Guantang didn’t know what outrageous plot Wen Tiange had imagined, but when he saw the message sent by Wen Tiange, he wanted to say - you still know too little about omegas.
At least Lin Guantang, the omega, didn't have much exposure to makeup—it can't be said that he had never put on makeup, but he had never done it himself.
But the other party also had good intentions, so Lin Guantang skillfully used the perfunctory method of "talk about it when I have time".
Shao Qingbai: You're hiding something so important to my life from me?!
[Haitang>> Note: Sister’s second account]: What’s the big deal?
Lin Guantang was really confused this time.
He could sense that Shao Qingbai was a warm and friendly alpha who also cared about him, but their relationship probably wasn't good enough for them to confide in each other about important life events.
If there was anything important that really concerned the two of them, it was the matter of the union of the two schools that Senior Sikong had told him about and asked him to keep secret, but Senior Sikong had said that he would ask Senior Yin to tell others.
The attitudes of the others were enough to prove that Senior Yin should have passed on the matter. Although what they said was a bit strange, none of them was as jumpy as Shao Qingbai, as if he had done something very bad.
Lin Guantang thought about it and didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, so he could only reply helplessly:
[Old sister's second account]: If you are talking about what happened today, didn't someone else tell you? Do you still need me to tell you specifically?
Shao Qingbai: Well, you're my older sister! Shouldn't you have told me about our relationship in advance?
Lin Guantang frowned, not quite understanding why he called himself "sister". Although the current society gives priority to the second gender, the first gender is also important.
Wait, wait, wait—
Maybe he had misunderstood something. Shao Qingbai was not surprised that he had not privately chatted with him about the merger of the two schools, but was surprised that his sister had not told him something alone. This made sense. It was much more reasonable for siblings to discuss major life events than for friends who had only known each other for a few days.
Lin Guantang didn't want to infringe on other people's privacy by using a false identity to explore other people's major life events, so he could only give a subtle reminder.
[Sister's Second Account]: Actually, I don't quite understand what you want to say. I'm not your sister. Maybe you sent it to the wrong person?
Shao Qingbai: You're still saying no! You always try to get me to stop talking to you. I'm telling you, I'm really heartbroken this time. I won't talk to you again until tomorrow. [Angry]
【Shao Qingbai】: Emojis*N……
...I hope my account won’t be hacked.
Seeing that the other party said that he would no longer talk to him, Jie sent dozens of emojis to flood the screen...
Lin Guantang felt a little pain in his eyes, and he strangely understood the rhetorical device of "synesthesia". Because he was looking at the screen, he felt that his ears were also a little noisy, as if there was really someone who was shouting around him in a 360-degree loop with full energy.
On the one hand, Lin Guantang was a little shocked at where Shao Qingbai found so many emoticons, and on the other hand, he thought that he might have been stimulated by something and might be a little excited, so it would be better to let him calm down alone.
After making this decision, Lin Guantang no longer paid attention to the people who were going crazy in the private chat interface.
Shao Qingbai was left sitting cross-legged in the dormitory, looking at the chat interface that was completely ignored, and he was furious.
When he's too lazy to pay attention to me, he says things like "I don't know you, I'm not your sister" to cut off ties, or simply ignores my messages. Who else could it be but his sister?!
After being angry with himself for three minutes, Shao Qingbai made a difficult decision.
He will become cruel and cold-blooded. Before my sister apologizes to him, he will no longer call her sister and will remain a stranger to her. Let's see who can last longer. (PS: Only for smurfs)
Lin Guantang certainly didn't know the ambition behind his vow. What concerned Lin Guantang the most now was—
Who is the person that Senior Sikong said would come to find him?
Almost a week had passed, and the identity of this person had not been confirmed, which made Lin Guantang feel a little anxious.
He was not worried that no one would come to see him, but that there were too many people coming to see him, and he had no way of finding the right person among so many people!
During this week, Lin Guantang truly realized how loose the courses in O College were and how bored the students were, because except for sleeping time at night, he could refresh the classmates who chatted with him almost every day.
There may even be more than one, and these students can be classified.
"Hello, Lin, can I be your friend?"
——Lin Guantang exchanged business cards with these cute freshmen who expressed their goodwill directly, but most of them just lay there without saying anything.
"Are you the classmate Lin who stole the show at the orientation party? It seems you're not a swindler."
——This type of people are passers-by who are quite curious. Lin Guantang would either say a few words to them or just smile and move on.
"I heard you're from District 35, a backward place like District 35. Do you know how the four levels of wealthy families in the capital are divided?"
——This type of people seem to be showing off their status by showing off their power, but Lin Guantang had already prepared himself to be targeted before coming, so his mentality was still good. He also didn’t know that there were actually hierarchical divisions among wealthy families. Therefore, under the premise that the other party’s attitude was not too bad, Lin Guantang chose to humbly ask for advice.
But for some reason, although Lin Guantang was asking sincerely about the specific content, the other party stopped talking.
Or they would say things like, "If you ask me to explain something, I'll explain it to you," "Are you not irritable? Why don't you argue with me?", "Damn it! You must have known this for a long time and were waiting for me to tell you so you could correct me and laugh at me. I've seen this kind of trick of pretending to be a pig and then eating the tiger countless times in novels. I'm not some brainless cannon fodder who gets slapped in the face."
Then he left angrily.
Lin Guantang could only helplessly spread his hands.
There's another group of people who are more difficult to deal with. They're the ones who speak harshly, or even engage in small-group bullying...
"What's your attitude? You didn't even apologize after bumping into me? Don't think you can become a phoenix just because you're pretty..."
"Give up! A pretty vase like you can never steal the glory from our Tao Tianshi!"
——Even Tao Tianshi’s toxic fans joined in the fun!
Lin Guantang found this unbelievable. He had never even met the legendary Tianshi Tao, so how could he hate him so sincerely?
In short, although Lin Guantang could not understand where these hatred values came from, it would not be a good idea to let them grow, as he was not a masochist.
Lin Guantang could barely tolerate and ignore one person's unpleasant words, but he could not tolerate it when a group of people surrounded him, made sarcastic remarks, and even wanted to throw garbage at him.
So Lin Guantang fought with the other party.
Then Lin Guantang was surprised to find that the students of O College could be described as weak and fragile.
He originally thought that his physical strength had decreased after the differentiation and his combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced, but he did not expect that he could knock someone down with just one punch, and even make the place where the person was hit bruise and swell.
In the end, this small conflict was over in less than ten minutes, with Lin Guantang's hair disheveled, the other party's leader with a bruised face, and the onlookers stunned and screaming.
Then the group of people backed away from him.
As for some of them changing their stance and recognizing him as their big brother... he politely declined the idea. Lin Guantang currently has no intention of forming a small group in the school.
Speaking of which, Lin Guantang was still a little scared after the fight, because he didn't know whether he would be penalized for fighting. Especially when the counselor showed a sad expression after hearing the news, Lin Guantang was even more worried.
Then he remembered what Senior Sikong said and decided to say hello to Senior Huo.
[Haitang]: Hello, senior. Senior Sikong once said that if you encounter any difficult problems, you can come to the senior for help. If I encounter trouble in O College, can I also ask the senior for help?
[Senior Huo]: School rules and regulations are not just for show.
This sentence made Lin Guantang unable to refute, and he felt a little disappointed. He didn't know what to reply, and finally chose to quietly close the private chat interface.
Lin Guantang thought that people probably couldn't empathize with each other. If it was someone of Senior Huo's status, of course no one would dare to offend him. But he was helpless and came from a poor family. If he fought with a young man from a famous family, even if he was on the defensive, he would probably not get any benefits.
Then Lin Guantang was praised in the school announcement.
It means that he has a very good sense of self-defense, which is worthy of emulation by all students in the school. Furthermore, it means that school rules and regulations should be strengthened, and no bullying of classmates should be allowed to occur...
Why?
Lin Guantang was shocked. Senior Huo did not lie to him. He did not expect that all the students in O College were so sensible. They were not at all like what was written in entertainment works, that they hated the poor and loved the rich, and flattered the superiors and bullied the inferiors!
Lin Guantang was deeply moved by the school's understanding, and the forum was also lively with discussions about his identity.
[Li Tao, where does Lin come from? Isn't he a special admissions officer from District 35? He beat someone so badly and still got the academy to protect him. I'm shocked.]
[First, he was fighting back in self-defense. Second, he only hit two or three times in total. It's not that Lin beat the man badly, it's that he was just not very resistant to being hit.]
I really want to condemn Lin's violent behavior, but he's so handsome! I was there while they were fighting and secretly recorded it. It was so beautiful, so handsome, so captivating. I was completely mesmerized.
[Please share this with me, this is my only request in my life! ]
[It's said that Lin is an orphan. He might be some powerful figure's illegitimate child placed in District 35. I also heard that Miss Shao personally picked him up when he came to the capital...]
[Could it be related to Miss Shao? ]
[Humph, he even looks down on Miss Shao. I heard he even disdains joining the group chat Miss Shao recommended.]
"I said he was just playing dumb! You see, what normal omega would take so many courses? He must have been taught by someone with great experience."
[Also, he gets up at 7 a.m. every morning for a run and attends all his classes. Is there anyone else in the entire academy who is so self-disciplined?]
I can't do it. My perseverance in not skipping classes is enough to make me admit defeat. Every time I attend class, I suspect the teacher is a robot in disguise. I can't stand it for more than five minutes.
So where else can I run into Lin? I don't want to get up early, go to class, or smell the cooking fumes in the school cafeteria.
Archery class on Friday afternoon! Today is Friday. If you want to see Haitang, come and watch. The class will be in the open-air playground next to the century-old ginkgo tree.
…
Fresh breeze, warm sun, green grass, tall trees, and a group of noisy onlookers.
Lin Guantang changed into the special clothes for archery class, which were white on top and black on the bottom, tight on top and loose on the bottom, outlining the slender yet agile body lines.
Because the weather was still a little hot, she wore a short-sleeved top, revealing her fair arms. She held a small bow with flowers on it, like the legendary god of love from the old times descended to earth.
When he appeared on the playground from the locker room, he was greeted with exclamations from the crowd.
Lin Guantang couldn't help but become more cautious - it wasn't because he was affected by the crowd, but because of the rules of the archery class.
