Chapter 44: Business
"I'm back, Dad." After changing my shoes, I went to greet my old father.
There are really a lot of rules in this kind of big family.
Yu Ze was sitting behind his desk handling some company business. He said "hmm" without even raising his head.
"I'll go out first..."
"Wait a moment." Yu Ze stopped me, then closed the notebook in front of him and pulled out a stack of papers from the drawer. "You're almost fifteen, and it's almost time to get engaged. I have some information on omegas around your age. Go back and take a look."
I:"……"
"Father, if you still remember, I am a beta and I will be exposed if I get married." I said expressionlessly.
Has this person's schedule already included my wedding?
"..." He was silent for a moment, then changed the subject casually, "But there still needs to be an heir, right? Where's your brother?"
...No way, dad, I'm pretending so well that you don't even remember that I'm not an alpha. Should I be touched or speechless?
"Aqing has been away from home for two years." I continued expressionlessly.
"What's the point of him running around like an omega?" He frowned and tapped the table. "Does he have enough money to spend outside? Don't bring shame to the Yu family."
"I just asked today, it's enough, I'll send him money on time."
"Okay, let him remember to come back and get married when he turns 18, and then follow him."
How should I put it? For a moment, I couldn’t tell whether my biological father cared or not.
You say he cares, but his tone isn't really good.
You say you don't care, but he still asks if the money is enough...
This world is so weird.
And...he basically dotes on the protagonist.
No need to stay at home, enough money, and except for completing the family marriage in his schedule, everything else is up to him... He won't even be forced to take any omega courses.
This is completely different from some of the families I have come into contact with over the years.
Whether one likes children or not, no one is like him.
…
What on earth is this man thinking? Or does the alpha really have a strange way of thinking?
I went out again with a confused look on my face. This was basically my state every time after communicating with my biological father. I really missed the flexible brain in my previous life.
[No...I don't think it's Xiaoyu's fault.]
[Ding ding ding—I also don't think it's the host's fault. This world really... might not be normal.]
Very good, I feel relieved.
…
After having dinner at home, I left the main house with my personal butler. The new school was quite far from the main house, so I bought a property nearby...my father arranged for someone to buy it.
It is difficult to judge whether he is implementing the principle of "don't bring shame to the Yu family" or has not learned to express his feelings.
I decided to give up trying to figure this person out.
Think of him as an AI.
[…Host, you are not that kind of person.]
Yes, he is not even as good as AI.
"Acheng, what time will you leave tomorrow morning?" I asked the butler while sitting in the car. My personal butler is 24 years old and is from the Yu family branch. His name is Yu Cheng. He is usually taciturn, but he is really reliable in doing things.
"The driver will arrive at 7:30 tomorrow, so you can leave before 8 o'clock."
If I remember correctly, you live near the school. Do you still need a driver?
"Class starts at 8:30, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk. The master ordered to take you there," he paused, "He said that you are the heir of the Yu family, and this is the treatment you deserve. Don't let other families think that the Yu family is petty."
I:……
As expected of my father, he attaches so much importance to having a good reputation.
I don’t want to act in a high-profile manner and become a conspicuous person in the future.
You alphas really like this peacock-spreading look, don’t you?!
——————————
The next day I got off the bus in front of the school gate in a high-profile manner. I thought I would be embarrassed, but I was surprisingly calm. Maybe it was because there were people with bags that were more conspicuous than mine.
I looked at the car next to me and saw two bodyguards in uniform placing a red carpet on the ground. After the red carpet was laid out, a man got out of the car.
Were there bodyguards scattering rose petals nearby?!
Thanks, toes touching the ground.
I calmly watched the man get off the bus and matched his number with the information I saw.
Red hair, a restraining collar around his neck, Lin Huaifeng, the second son of the Lin family, an alpha, the same age as me, his pheromone smells like... red roses.
…
…………
Do roses of different colors smell different? Or do they have to be specifically categorized to make them special?
"It's Mr. Lin—the pheromones are still very charming today!"
"Woo woo, Young Master Lin is engaged. Which omega is so lucky——"
…
Wait a minute, I feel like I've been transported back to the world of old school youth novels. There really are people out there praising Alpha to his face!!! This is the year 202X, not 200X!!
Then I saw Lin Huaifeng turn around and look at me, raising his eyebrows.
"The eldest young master of the Yu family, Yu Yilin?" His tone was quite polite, but his expression was obviously not very polite.
The Lin family and the Yu family are a competition of the times, but ever since my father came to power, the Lin family has shown signs of being suppressed, so it is normal for Lin Huaifeng to be unfriendly to me.
"Hello." I smiled and nodded, preparing to go inside.
"I was wondering where the wood smell came from, turns out it's from you." Lin Huaifeng grinned, as if he thought I was easy to bully because I greeted him.
We are all just fifteen-year-old kids, why are we pretending to be domineering, cool and arrogant?
What wood smell? The smell my family customized for me is agarwood, the wood fragrance passed down from generation to generation in the Yu family. By the way, I heard that the protagonist's younger brother smells like sandalwood.
Although there are many flaws, being called woody is obviously a provocation, right?
"Mr. Lin must be overthinking it. I'm strictly abiding by Article 13 of the Alpha Regulation and wearing a suppression collar to avoid leaking pheromones in public." I walked past him. We were about the same height now, and I turned my head to look at him. "What Mr. Lin smelled might have been the fertilizer from the petals."
"After all, if you want roses to grow well, you need to water them with fertilizer."
"You--" Lin Huaian knew that I was scolding him. Just as he was about to reach out his hand, I had already grabbed his wrist and shook it off. With this amount of strength, even if it wasn't Villar, he couldn't cause much harm to me.
I walked up to him and turned around with a smile, "Master Lin, you know, you can take a joke, right?"
Well, he was so angry that his face turned blue, and he was already suppressing it with alpha's pheromones.
I looked at the classmates around me who were obviously retreating and feeling uncomfortable. Some were alphas, some were omegas, and some were bewildered betas.
Thank you again. Beta is not sensitive to these pheromones at all. That’s why alphas and omegas are the envied ones in this society!
Because of love brain???
"Lin Huaian, using pheromones in public is against regulations." I stared at him. "I heard that three months ago, Uncle Lin put Lin Shaogang in solitary confinement for a month?"
The bodyguard next to him came over and held his shoulders. He closed his eyes and looked at me with suppressed anger. "Yu Yilin... we'll see."
I smiled and nodded at him.
Soon my father will get the news that I provoked Lin Huaian at the school gate, and then spread it throughout the school, making a big fuss.
I'm sure he will be very satisfied.
Although my biological father didn't say it, I don't know why he seemed to be trying to make me live a high-profile life, probably to cover up the fact that I was not an alpha.
So the world's stereotype of alpha is really stereotyped——
High-profile, arrogant, and doing whatever he wants.
It reminds me of the display organs that male species in nature have to evolve in order to attract mates.
It's only natural that the protagonist would think this world is bad.
The brain evolved to be controlled by desire and turned into a love brain. It is not over yet and we can only say that it is the same all over the world.
I suggest beta to work harder.
[…Host, you're not planning on doing something like a beta rise, are you?]
……Um?
I think your idea is very good.
Doesn't this world allow me to relax? Then it makes sense for the protagonist's brother to work on omega equality and for me to work on beta equality, right?
【……】
[But our main mission is to restore order to this world.]
So I made the beta more powerful, so that those love-brained AOs can no longer affect everyone's lives. Wouldn't this restore order?
【You are right, host.】
What you said makes a lot of sense, Xiaoyu.
It's really weird that you two are playing a duet in my head!
"Then let me help you beat up all these alphas. I think most alphas obey whoever has the bigger fist."
Is your brain really back? Why are you now speaking with your fists?
[Eh? Maybe the system is telling me that my future job is to be your thug.]
What the hell are you teaching him?
[…I'm telling the truth. This world is just an ordinary one except for ABO, so there's nothing you can exchange for points. The protagonist hasn't even started the main story yet, and now that the local specialty doesn't have an independent body, he can only serve as a thug!]
So when will my brother come back?
[Let's see... Three months later, he will enter this school incognito as a beta.]
Okay, I will definitely not get involved with the protagonist this time. Based on the experience of the previous two worlds, caring too much about the protagonist will not end well. Either the mission difficulty will soar or you will be backstabbed. I want to work hard on my career alone.
[Hey...Xiaoyu...]
...It has nothing to do with you. I know you are innocent.
But it is really troublesome for you now that you have a brain, Villar. If you were a brainless Villar, you wouldn't be able to hear what I am complaining about!
[Hahahaha… ahem, come on host, I’ll always be your most caring little cotton-padded jacket~]
A month later, my beta equality cause encountered a crisis.
In everyone's eyes, I am now a high-profile, handsome, rich, and perfect alpha.
I thought so as I looked at the omega in front of me handing me a love letter.
"Yu Yilin, I really like you. Can you date me?"
"I'm sorry, I don't like omegas."
I said calmly.
Then the next day, word spread throughout the school that I was gay.
