Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 135

Xu Wanxing smoothly sat down in the familiar spot.

Ji Rongyu was writing something. Seeing a familiar figure next to him, he immediately knew Xu Wanxing had arrived.

He turned his head only to find Xu Wanxing wearing a mask, his face slightly flushed.

Ji Rongyu released the pen he was holding and looked at Xu Wanxing’s face with concern, his tone anxious, “Did you catch a cold and have a fever? Why didn’t you ask for leave when you’re like this? Why insist on coming to class? Your health is more important than class.”

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Xu Wanxing’s forehead.

It doesn’t feel very hot…

Ji Rongyu suspected it was his own misperception and immediately reached out to touch his own forehead.

…His own forehead was even warmer than Xu Wanxing’s.

Could both of them have a fever?

Ji Rongyu was a little lost.

Little did he know that the flush on Xu Wanxing’s face was merely because he had run over while wearing a mask and arrived just as the bell rang, causing him to feel stuffy.

Xu Wanxing looked at Ji Rongyu’s actions in confusion and whispered, “No fever, I’m fine.”

Ji Rongyu nodded, his eyes filled with sympathy. Xu Wanxing was always a pure, strong, peerless White Lotus in his mind. Now, Xu Wanxing, in his eyes, was a good student who insisted on attending class despite being injured or sick.

This only further solidified that impression.

Sometimes, in certain people’s eyes, the more excessively strong you are, the more people sympathize with you.

Ji Rongyu felt his entire heart soften, and a look of tenderness flashed across his aloof and arrogant face.

He leaned close to Xu Wanxing’s ear and whispered, “You have a cold and feel unwell. If you get sleepy during class later, just lean on me to sleep. I’ll remind you if the teacher comes.”

Xu Wanxing: “…I thank you.”

He was really ‘thank you for nothing’ (栓q).

Ji Rongyu nodded in satisfaction, completely unaware of the disbelief in Xu Wanxing’s eyes.

He had trusted Ji Rongyu too much before, which resulted in him successfully sleeping in class and earning the lovely consequence of needing a final grade of 85+ in Advanced Mathematics. He was still working frantically towards that goal.

Ji Rongyu has caused him so much suffering!

Now he’s trying to trick him again? How utterly detestable!

Although Xu Wanxing didn’t believe him one bit, he pitied Ji Rongyu for practically pouring his heart and soul out to show his sincerity.

The old professor on the stage was giving a passionate lecture. Many students below were drowsy but forcing themselves to stay awake.

The old professor was famously rigid and stubborn. If he caught someone, the punishment would be terrifying.

Xu Wanxing was the only person in the class who dared to challenge the old professor’s authority and was harshly punished.

Seeing his misery, everyone else naturally knew what to do and what not to do.

Xu Wanxing listened attentively to the lecture. Ji Rongyu, beside him, rested his chin in his hand, subtly glancing at Xu Wanxing, his eyes lingering on the mask for a few seconds.

Ji Rongyu suddenly raised his hand.

Xu Wanxing was startled. The old professor noticed and looked at Ji Rongyu in confusion: “What is it, student?”

Ji Rongyu stood up smoothly, covering his stomach. “Teacher, my stomach hurts. I didn’t bring my medicine today. May I go to the infirmary?”

Under the fluorescent light, Ji Rongyu’s face was slightly transparent, making his claim look plausible.

The old professor waved his hand. Xu Wanxing stood up to let Ji Rongyu out.

With Ji Rongyu gone, his seat became much larger. He could occupy two spaces by himself. Before he could enjoy the extra space for a few seconds, he saw Ji Rongyu’s figure suddenly appear at the doorway.

After greeting the old professor, Ji Rongyu sat back down in his original seat. Xu Wanxing moved his limbs back to their original position, but somehow his seat felt slightly smaller and more cramped than before.

Just as he was shifting uncomfortably, he suddenly realized something had been shoved into his arms.

Xu Wanxing looked to the side in confusion. Ji Rongyu’s earlobes were a little red, and his neck was flushed, yet his face was fair like white jade, and his gaze was candidly fixed on the blackboard ahead.

Xu Wanxing looked down.

It was medicine.

It looked like cold medicine. But didn’t Ji Rongyu have a stomachache? Was it possible he had both a stomachache and a cold? That would be truly pitiful.

Xu Wanxing whispered, “Are you asking me to hold this for you? Did you take your medicine?”

Ji Rongyu heard Xu Wanxing’s muffled voice next to his ear and felt an unstoppable wave of compassion. He gently shook his head. “No. I bought this medicine for you. I’m not taking it.”

Xu Wanxing: “?”

“Then what about you? Doesn’t your stomach hurt?”

Ji Rongyu’s heart softened. Xu Wanxing was worried about him. He was truly overwhelmed.

Ji Rongyu lowered his head and whispered, “No, I just said that deliberately so I could go out and buy medicine for you.”

What a strategic ‘deliberately.’

If Xu Wanxing were an Omega, he would undoubtedly be completely charmed by Ji Rongyu.

Xu Wanxing secretly admired Ji Rongyu.

He managed to be so thoughtful without making it obvious.

No wonder he’s the campus heartthrob.

Since it was Ji Rongyu’s kind gesture, he might as well reluctantly accept it. He couldn’t exactly return the medicine and say, “I don’t have a cold; I’m faking it.”

Xu Wanxing put the medicine in his desk and thanked him quietly.

Ji Rongyu nodded gently and slowly, his ears growing even redder.

This entire scene was observed by the Beta sitting behind Ji Rongyu, who was so angry he couldn’t speak.

After Pei Yu told him he was being ‘weird,’ he was found by those few Omegas.

The Omegas warned him not to harass the little couple. Ji Rongyu and Pei Yu were a couple, and he shouldn’t harbor inappropriate thoughts.

Beta: …He had thought Pei Yu liked him because he kept sitting close to him. He never expected it was a misunderstanding.

Originally, he didn’t harbor any feelings for Pei Yu, but Pei Yu’s sudden flirtation made his heart go astray.

The more you can’t have, the more you want.

This was a deep-seated flaw in human nature.

He naturally developed a possessiveness toward Pei Yu. However, as those Omegas said, Ji Rongyu and Pei Yu were the couple. Ji Rongyu was the well-known, rich, and handsome campus heartthrob at their school.

How could he, a Beta of mediocre gender, mediocre grades, and a mediocre face, compare to Ji Rongyu in the slightest?

But he was unwilling to give up!

He was determined to catch Ji Rongyu in the act, break up the couple, and take his place.

And now, today, he had found the perfect opportunity.

Ji Rongyu’s ears were red like that—it clearly meant he was shy. He even lied to the teacher mid-class to go out and buy medicine. He was 100% smitten with the person wearing the mask.

The Beta quickly took several photos of the pair and, using the contact information for Pei Yu that he had managed to scout out earlier, immediately sent him a friend request.

“Accept this. I photographed your partner being solicitous toward someone else.”

Pei Yu, who was playing a game in his dorm room far away, looked at the message with a blank stare.

Since when did he suddenly have a partner?

This person must be joking.

Pei Yu naturally didn’t take it seriously, pretended not to see it, and continued his game.

But the Beta was persistent, sending him over a dozen friend requests in rapid succession.

Pei Yu was playing the game on his computer, listening to his phone ding non-stop beside him. His smooth gameplay started to become choppy.
