Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 16

It seems he must score 85 or above in Calculus to discuss his future with the Old Professor.

“Senior Shen, have you worked on projects with the professor?”

“Ah, no.”

“Then how do you know all this?”

“Oh, this project is in collaboration with my company, so of course I know all the details. It has great potential, this project.”

Shen Yuxian patted Xu Wanxing on the shoulder, giving him an encouraging look.

Normally, he wouldn’t talk this much to a fresh university student, but seeing Xu Wanxing made him feel inexplicably fond, so he spoke a few extra words.

He pressed the doorbell, and the Old Professor opened the door, looking surprised to see them.

“You’ve arrived! Come in, come in.”

This was Xu Wanxing’s first time at the Old Professor’s house, and he felt a little reserved, but Shen Yuxian was much more relaxed, acting as if he came often. He pulled out disposable shoe covers for Xu Wanxing from the shoe cabinet.

“Thank you, Senior Shen.” Xu Wanxing put on the shoe covers and sat on the Old Professor’s sofa.

“What are we eating today?” the Old Professor asked casually, his voice slightly hoarse.

“I heard from this junior that you were sick, and I wondered what illness it was. Turns out it’s just a little cold! And you used this as an excuse not to come to my speech, making the junior record the video for you, right? Look how lazy you are.”

At Shen Yuxian’s words, the Old Professor looked down, feeling a little guilty.

Xu Wanxing’s eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. He tentatively asked, “Senior Shen came all the way to see you, so do you still want me to send the video to you, Professor?”

The Old Professor winked at Xu Wanxing, squeezing his eyes. “Delete it, delete it.”

Seeing Shen Yuxian nearby, he immediately put on a kindly expression. “What would you like to eat, Little Xu?”

“Sweet and sour pork. Can you cook that, Professor?”

The Old Professor waved his hand. “I’m not the one cooking. This person next to me is the true chef,” he said, pointing to Shen Yuxian.

Xu Wanxing was utterly astonished. “Senior Shen is cooking for us?!”

Will it even taste good?

Isn’t Shen Yuxian the protagonist gong? He can cook?!

The standard plot is for the shou to cook for the gong; this seems a bit different.

Xu Wanxing secretly shot Shen Yuxian a look of admiration.

Did he get the roles of gong and shou wrong? Lu Yanbai looks so dominant, yet Shen Yuxian can cook.

When the dishes were served, Xu Wanxing tasted a bite and nearly burst into tears.

It’s genuinely delicious!

It was really good, sweet but not cloying. Shen Yuxian had cooked his favorite dish so well.

Xu Wanxing’s eyes sparkled as he ate heartily.

Seeing him eat with such gusto, Shen Yuxian, who didn’t usually like sweets, couldn’t help but reach for the sweet and sour pork a few extra times.

The Old Professor secretly watched the two of them. Seeing the pink bubbles around Xu Wanxing and the gentle look in Shen Yuxian’s eyes, he felt a great sense of mission.

He, a lonely old man at this age, must play matchmaker for them!

The Old Professor spoke, “Little Shen is truly impressive. As an Alpha, he can cook such delicious food. Whichever Omega marries him will be truly blessed.”

He said this while meaningfully looking at Xu Wanxing.

“Little Xu is an Omega, right?”

Xu Wanxing froze. Crap! The scent blocker patch on his neck!

Because he was always afraid the protagonist shou would suddenly look for him and because he was forgetful, he wore the scent blocker patch every day. He didn’t expect it to become proof of his gender.

“Um, actually…” I’m not an Omega.

Before Xu Wanxing could finish his sentence, Shen Yuxian spoke, “Professor, I have someone I like. She’s a strawberry-scented Omega, so please don’t try to play matchmaker randomly.”

The Old Professor sighed helplessly, and Xu Wanxing closed his mouth.

He furiously poked the System mentally. 【System, is the protagonist shou strawberry-scented? I thought he was marine-scented?】

【Host, you’re not mistaken. It might be some little siren, they’re all just cannon fodder and aren’t important. They are probably just there to add some twists to the protagonist gong and shou’s relationship. Don’t worry, it’s not a big problem】

Xu Wanxing, unaware that the little siren was himself (the streamer persona), let out a sigh of relief.

This rotten protagonist gong is so promiscuous! He completely scared me. I thought the plot was going to collapse.

After eating, Shen Yuxian gave the Old Professor a few final instructions, and the two left.

“I’ll drive you back to school,” Shen Yuxian offered.

Xu Wanxing was just worrying about this. Taking a taxi from here to Imperial Capital University would probably cost forty or fifty yuan, and maybe sixty if there was traffic.

This high cost of living made Xu Wanxing, who wouldn’t even splurge on a fourteen-yuan beef noodle, feel a little reluctant to spend the money.

Hearing Shen Yuxian’s offer, Xu Wanxing nodded happily. “That would be great! Thank you, Senior Shen. Will I be interrupting your next schedule?”

“Not at all. Junior, can you call me something else? Calling me ‘Senior Shen’ all the time feels a little strange.”

Shen Yuxian certainly wouldn’t admit that he wanted the little Omega (the streamer) to call him by a certain name.

“Then, CEO Shen?”

“Fine, that will do. Let’s go, I’ll take you back to school.”

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Imperial Capital University, the familiar location, the familiar streetlights. Only this time, the streetlights weren’t lit since it was afternoon.

Xu Wanxing habitually leaned toward the driver’s seat. A quick kiss, and then he could leave.

But before he could kiss him—

“What are you doing?”

Shen Yuxian’s voice, carrying a hint of coldness, sounded in his ear. The sting made Xu Wanxing jump, bringing him back to his senses.

Looking at the lips that were only a few centimeters away, Xu Wanxing realized that he wasn’t in Lu Yanbai’s car, and this wasn’t Lu Yanbai; it was the protagonist gong, Shen Yuxian!

He’s going to explode!

He was so used to kissing Lu Yanbai in this position that he did it subconsciously.

Would Shen Yuxian think he was a pervert?

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, CEO Shen! I had a brain fart!”

Xu Wanxing quickly retreated, apologizing profusely in a low voice, his head bowed. He missed Shen Yuxian raising a hand to touch his own lips.

A look of confusion flashed in Shen Yuxian’s eyes. He could have easily pushed Xu Wanxing away when he approached, but why did he stay still, only speaking out when Xu Wanxing was extremely close?

Could he also have feelings for this Omega? No! His heart belonged to that little siren in the live stream.

As a model Alpha of the new era, he must remain pure and never stray!

“Get out,” Shen Yuxian’s voice was no longer warm; a chill spread through the car as if it were free.

Seeing that Shen Yuxian wasn’t going to press the matter, Xu Wanxing quickly opened the car door and stepped out. He only felt alive again after inhaling the fresh air outside. That moment had been far too embarrassing.

“Xu Wanxing?”

A familiar voice called out to him.

Not far away, Pei Yu, with a dark expression, strode over and grabbed Xu Wanxing’s arm.

The extreme force on his arm made Xu Wanxing frown. “Let go! You’re hurting me!”

Two seconds later, the hand on his arm loosened. Though it was just a hand, Xu Wanxing could feel its extreme reluctance.

“Pei Yu, what’s wrong?”

Xu Wanxing rubbed his arm, thinking, I’m done for.
