Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 2

Xu Wanxing’s heart was pounding; he thought he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Like being stared at by a fierce beast, chills ran down Xu Wanxing’s spine.

“Um, hello. I’m your new roommate, Xu Wanxing. It’s nice to meet you. I hope we can get along well from now on.”

Xu Wanxing quickly searched his mind for words to form an opening speech. He was determined to establish a good relationship with Pei Yu.

The person in the room didn’t speak, and Xu Wanxing didn’t dare to go in. The two held the awkward silence for a full minute before Pei Yu finally spoke.

“Pei Yu.”

“Ah, so that’s your name! It sounds really nice. Could you tell me which Pei and which Yu it is?” Xu Wanxing stammered out a compliment, but Pei Yu remained unmoved.

Seeing that Pei Yu had completely focused his attention on the screen in front of him, Xu Wanxing breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to continue with the forced compliments.

“Pei Yu, can I turn on the light?”

“Whatever.”

Pei Yu’s voice was cold and tinged with hoarseness, sounding like someone who had pulled an all-nighter.

He’s not quiet; he’s clearly selectively speaking.

Xu Wanxing turned on the light and began unpacking. After finishing, he made a glass of lemon water and placed it next to Pei Yu’s spot.

“Your voice doesn’t sound very good. Have some water. I added honey, so it won’t be too sour.”

Pei Yu’s indifferent eyes swept over the lemon water. He glanced at Xu Wanxing and said, “Take it away.”

Xu Wanxing sheepishly put the lemon water on his own desk, a hint of grievance in his expression, causing the corners of his beautiful eyes to droop.

Pei Yu’s eyes were fixed on the computer screen. The long, delicate fingers that held the mouse—fingers that countless fans fawned over—couldn’t help but tense up.

He looks so sad.

Why would the school assign an Omega to the same dorm as him? This was what Pei Yu found most confusing.

Little did he know, Xu Wanxing was rejoicing internally.

【Thank goodness I only made one cup, hahaha! The prediction was accurate! System, check the mission.】

【Today’s Mission: Perform an act of sycophancy for Pei Yu and be rejected by Pei Yu (1/1)】

Pei Yu happened to catch Xu Wanxing’s reflection in the screen. Xu Wanxing’s eyelashes were lowered, and whether it was his own misconception or not, the corners of his eyes were reddish, as if he was on the verge of tears.

Although an intense team battle was raging on his screen, Pei Yu’s mind was no longer focused on the game.

Xu Wanxing leisurely picked up the glass and took a sip of water, closing his eyes and sticking out his tongue with reddened eyes.

So sweet. I accidentally added too much honey. It’s so sweet it tastes bitter and cloying. I really want to toss it.

Thinking of the mere 200 yuan left in his bank account, Xu Wanxing suppressed the urge to throw the lemon water away.

I’m too poor. I never imagined I would be this poor. What can 200 yuan do? It’s enough to survive for only a few days.

System: 【Host, don’t worry. Go flirt with the protagonist shou, Lu Yanbai. He’ll give you money.】

【Really? Why would he give me money?】

【Because he’s very rich, and you’re very gold-digging. You’ll ask him for money.】

【…That feels kind of undignified.】

The System spoke with exasperation: 【You’re practically starving! What dignity are you worried about? Look at your pocket—what can 200 yuan get you?】

Xu Wanxing fell silent. It was too real. People die for wealth, just as birds die for food.

Now, it was either seduce the protagonist shou or starve.

A look of distress crossed Xu Wanxing’s face. He pulled out his makeup bag. The protagonist shou would be at a bar tonight, so he needed to get there early and stake out a spot.

Using the reflection in the computer screen, Pei Yu easily watched Xu Wanxing apply makeup.

How cute.

He was just rejected by me, and now he’s putting on makeup to invite me out?

Well, in that case, I won’t reject him later. I’ll satisfy the little Omega’s wish.

Pei Yu’s sharp, cold gaze softened for a moment.

He quickly finished the team battle on the computer screen. It wouldn’t do to make an Omega wait for him to finish playing a game.

Xu Wanxing wasn’t good at applying makeup. In his previous life, he was a miserable social animal working ‘996’ and ‘007’ hours, constantly working overtime. Moreover, he was a straight man who liked pretty girls; how could he possibly know how to put on makeup?

All he could do now was use unknown products to whiten his face and paint his lips red.

Then, he stood up and changed into a sexy, black lace dress.

【…System, this is all wrong. Why would an Alpha have such a sexy long dress?】

Xu Wanxing emerged from the bathroom, uncomfortably tugging at the wide V-neck. His delicate collarbones and pale chest were completely exposed. Xu Wanxing, who was used to wearing extremely restrictive shirts, was very uncomfortable.

The dress was form-fitting, delicately tracing his body and showing off his good physique without reservation.

System: 【It’s completely normal! He’s a gold-digging Alpha, so of course he’d wear this kind of thing to seduce people into giving him money. Host, hurry up and head to the bar!】

Xu Wanxing pursed his lips. In the end, the reality of poverty defeated him.

He picked up the overly sweet lemon water from the desk and gulped it down. Xu Wanxing casually wiped his mouth and headed out the door.

Xu Wanxing’s spot was in the inner part of the dorm; Pei Yu’s was closer to the door.

Watching Xu Wanxing’s figure draw closer, the long dress swaying enticingly, Pei Yu’s heart lodged in his throat.

He swallowed hard in discomfort. How should I persuade Xu Wanxing not to wear that outfit outside? Although I really like it, I want Xu Wanxing to only wear it for me.

Two steps.

One step.

Xu Wanxing brushed past him.

Pei Yu’s mouth hung open. He stared at the now-closed dorm door, unable to voice the thousand words describing his current embarrassment.

“…Damn it. He’s trying to play hard to get.”

Don’t think that will attract me! This Omega is quite manipulative.

Pei Yu started a new game. The white light of the screen shone on his handsome, boyish, wolf-like face, sketching a hint of ferocity.

Bar

People swayed to the exhilarating music.

Xu Wanxing sat at the bar counter, a spot directly facing the entrance, allowing him to see anyone who walked in clearly.

He took the “Summer Rhapsody” cocktail the bartender prepared, gazing at the beautiful orange and golden hues.

Xu Wanxing felt a pang of pain for the 38 yuan he had lost. This fruit wine costs 38 yuan! It’s highway robbery!

But it was the cheapest drink in the bar.

The impoverished Xu Wanxing quietly covered his wallet.

There’s no reward without effort. He couldn’t just sit here foolishly while staking out.

Xu Wanxing’s crimson tongue slowly licked the drink. His beautiful eyes constantly scanned the doorway.

Many Alphas and Betas in the bar were stirring restlessly.

Xu Wanxing had an inhibitor patch on the back of his neck, indicating he was an Omega.

Such a beautiful Omega suddenly appearing in this kind of bar would likely be devoured by wolves and tigers very quickly.

The bartender looked at Xu Wanxing, a hint of pity in his eyes.

He had seen many Omegas, but this was the first time he had seen one so beautiful and so innocent-looking.

“Drink up and go home. It’s dangerous here,” the bartender leaned closer to Xu Wanxing, winked, and softly advised.

Xu Wanxing shook his head. “I’m waiting for someone.”

Seeing that he couldn’t be persuaded, the bartender left.

A fragile, beautiful Omega like this will probably have red-rimmed eyes, a swollen, broken mouth, a tender, red tongue sticking out, and be covered in an Alpha’s scent in the next moment.

The inhibitor patch on the back of the neck will be viciously torn off by a greedy Alpha, and the scent gland will be bitten until red and swollen.

Countless malicious gazes fixed on Xu Wanxing. Their thoughts were similar to the bartender’s.

Xu Wanxing, completely unaware, continued to watch the doorway, not even realizing his glass was empty.

Finally, an Alpha couldn’t hold back and plopped down next to Xu Wanxing.

“Hey, this spot is taken.” Xu Wanxing looked at him in surprise, pointing to the seat.

This was the seat he saved for the protagonist shou! It was actually snatched by this brute.

The Alpha smiled, a scar on his face running from his eye corner down to the bottom of his nose, making him look quite ferocious.

His imposing physique was accompanied by a strong, concentrated Alpha scent that rushed at Xu Wanxing.
