Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 107
Pei Yu absolutely had to be in the dorm, so he could enter and wash his clothes.
He had just knocked twice when he heard a rush of hurried footsteps inside, accompanied by clanging sounds.
But Xu Wanxing waited a while, and the door didn’t open.
Xu Wanxing knocked a few more times, calling out Pei Yu’s name. The next second, the door opened.
Pei Yu blocked the doorway, his eyes subconsciously darting toward the floor. “You, why are you back? Shouldn’t you be coming to school tomorrow, like usual?”
Xu Wanxing noticed Pei Yu’s movements were strange; he seemed to be desperately trying to block his view with his body. Why was he blocking him from entering the dorm, blocking him from seeing inside?
A puzzled look crossed Xu Wanxing’s face. Suddenly, he noticed foam on Pei Yu’s hands.
The snowy white foam clung thickly to Pei Yu’s hands. Water droplets ran down his fingertips, hitting the floor and forming a small puddle.
Xu Wanxing was a little confused, thinking Pei Yu was just curious about his actions. “I wanted to come back, wash my clothes, and then go out.”
Pei Yu’s body tensed, an awkward look flashed across his face, and he finally chose to confess.
“Uh… I was bored staying in the dorm, and I accidentally washed your clothes too.”
Xu Wanxing: “Ah?!!!”
What is Pei Yu saying?
Did I forget how to understand Chinese?
Is Pei Yu speaking a human language?
What does he mean by he washed my clothes because he was bored?!!
Those are Lu Yanbai’s clothes!!
The very thing he had worried about before had actually come true!
Xu Wanxing swallowed hard, staring at the foam on Pei Yu’s hands. “It’s fine. You probably haven’t finished washing, there’s still foam on your hands. Let me continue washing them.”
Pei Yu then remembered the foam on his hands and awkwardly clasped them together. “I’ve already washed your clothes. This foam is from my clothes. I washed yours first, then mine.”
Xu Wanxing: …Brother, you really don’t need to be this diligent!
Xu Wanxing forced a smile: “Thank you so much! I really didn’t expect you to help me with my laundry. I’ve troubled you. Please don’t wash my clothes again next time. I have OCD about this; I absolutely must wash my own clothes.”
Pei Yu looked hesitant. “Should I take down the clothes I hung up and let you wash them again?”
Xu Wanxing: …That would be so idiotic.
But after thinking about it, he agreed.
The situation thus evolved into Xu Wanxing and Pei Yu sitting on small stools in the dorm’s bathroom, with a laundry basin in front of them.
Pei Yu rolled up his short sleeves to his shoulders and expertly scrubbed the clothes.
Xu Wanxing held Lu Yanbai’s clothes and mimicked Pei Yu’s actions.
Pei Yu looked up at Xu Wanxing, slightly embarrassed: “I actually washed them very cleanly. You don’t need to keep scrubbing. These clothes are silk, aren’t they? You can’t scrub them too much, or you’ll ruin them.”
Xu Wanxing stopped his movement, quickly waving his hands. “No, no, no, I’m not doing that. I’m not saying the clothes you washed aren’t clean. I just think the way you wash clothes is unique, and I wanted to wash them that way too.”
Xu Wanxing was truly exhausted today.
He had to keep coming up with excuses, with endless lies to tell.
He had just instinctively scrubbed a few times when he saw Pei Yu doing it, and he didn’t expect to be misunderstood.
Pei Yu smiled. His slender, exquisite fingers rested on the damp, dark-colored clothes. Although the setting was so basic—a completely ordinary university dorm bathroom.
Yet, it felt like a shot from a fashion magazine. His hands were clearly jointed, full of strength, exuding an indescribable allure and sexual tension.
Anyone with a hand fetish would be screaming at the sight of those hands.
But now, this pair of peerless beautiful hands was scrubbing clothes, and even Xu Wanxing felt it was a waste of talent.
Xu Wanxing finished washing the two items of clothing and hung them on the balcony to air dry. He didn’t go back into the dorm room, but stood on the balcony, staring blankly at the two pieces of clothing.
Even though he had washed them again, he felt like these two pieces no longer completely belonged to Lu Yanbai.
Even if Lu Yanbai didn’t know and wasn’t bothered by wearing them, Xu Wanxing would still feel uncomfortable.
It felt too weird to have Lu Yanbai, an Omega, wear clothes that had been hand-washed by a stranger Alpha.
Although this wasn’t the Qing Dynasty, Xu Wanxing felt he couldn’t accept it.
From the perspective of his original world, if a woman wore clothes hand-washed by a strange man, it felt unsettling no matter how you looked at it.
Xu Wanxing thought for a moment and decided against bringing the two items back to Lu Yanbai’s house.
He would just tell Lu Yanbai they were lost.
At worst, if Lu Yanbai got angry, he’d kiss him a couple of times.
But truthfully, Xu Wanxing had never seen Lu Yanbai get angry.
Perhaps that was the protagonist-Shou’s innate ability: never getting angry, always maintaining a calm and composed demeanor regardless of the time or place.
Having prepared himself mentally, Xu Wanxing turned around and bumped into Pei Yu, who was standing blankly by the side with the basin.
Although this was a postgraduate dorm at the Imperial Capital University with excellent accommodation, the balcony wasn’t very large. After all, it was a two-person room, and the balcony was only big enough for one person to hang clothes.
Xu Wanxing thought he was blocking Pei Yu, which was why Pei Yu had been waiting blankly for so long. He apologized: “I’m sorry, let me move. Go ahead and hang your clothes.”
“Oh, oh… okay.” Pei Yu responded half a beat later.
Xu Wanxing gathered his belongings and walked to the balcony, seeing that Pei Yu was still in the same position, and there were only the two pieces of clothing he had just hung on the drying rack.
Pei Yu hadn’t hung anything.
Xu Wanxing was a little confused, but didn’t say anything, said goodbye to Pei Yu, and left.
Pei Yu only slowly put the basin down on the floor after he heard the dorm room door close.
He felt like he wasn’t normal.
He seemed to be very easily moved.
He would feel moved for no reason, time and time again.
Wanwan hadn’t been live streaming lately, but he had found recordings from Wanwan’s fans and would stay up late every night, staring eagerly at the old videos.
In the videos, Wanwan called him “Gege” (Older Brother).
To collect all those recordings, he even offered high prices to buy them, just to hear Wanwan call him “Gege” one more time.
Even though he no longer had Wanwan’s contact, his heart was still with him.
Yet, in the evenings he was obsessed with Wanwan, and during the day, he couldn’t help but look at his roommate’s belongings and think of Xu Wanxing’s face.
Even today, when he saw the clothes Xu Wanxing had changed out of, he had an urge to wash them.
He resisted for a long time, but finally gave in and washed Xu Wanxing’s two items of clothing.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wanxing returned to the dorm right after he finished washing.
There was no one in this world more awkward than him right now.
But even so, it didn’t change the fact that he was moved.
His heart and flesh seemed to be detached, completely refusing to obey him.
The moment he saw Xu Wanxing, thought of Xu Wanxing, or saw Xu Wanxing’s things, it would pound rapidly.
He couldn’t believe that he had developed such feelings for a roommate he was supposed to have a platonic friendship with.
