Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 35

He simply couldn’t bring himself to scold him.

“Let’s go,” Lu Yanbai said. “I’ll buy you some clothes.”

Xu Wanxing asked, “But Lin Yao already bought me some.” Xu Wanxing gestured toward the bags in Lu Yanbai’s hand.

Lu Yanbai said, “There’s always something he hasn’t bought you. I’ll get you everything, just so you won’t be tempted by him again.”

Soon after, Lu Yanbai led him into a boutique.

He set aside the items Lin Yao had bought and focused on selecting clothes for Xu Wanxing.

More shirts and pants.

Xu Wanxing watched Lu Yanbai meticulously choosing clothes and couldn’t shake the feeling that Lu Yanbai was playing a dress-up game with him.

After trying on item after item, Xu Wanxing was starting to feel tired.

“How about this one?”

Hearing Lu Yanbai’s voice, Xu Wanxing looked up and froze.

In Lu Yanbai’s hand was a pair of underpants, and not the usual men’s boxers. These were pure white with little strawberries all over them.

“Do you like them? I saw your chat app profile picture is a pink strawberry. Baby should like these, right?” Lu Yanbai asked.

Xu Wanxing, with the pink strawberry profile picture: “…”

That profile picture was deliberately chosen for his Alpha-pretending-to-be-Omega persona! He didn’t genuinely like things like that.

But in front of Lu Yanbai, he had to maintain the facade of a little Omega.

Xu Wanxing nodded with difficulty. Lu Yanbai’s eyes lit up even more, and he found several other pairs.

There were some with polka dots, some with lace, and some with bow ribbons.

This was too ridiculous!

Xu Wanxing had always worn black, white, or gray men’s boxer briefs and never knew underpants could be this adorable.

Help me! Just thinking about wearing such cute items on his rear end gave him a chilling sensation on his buttocks.

Lu Yanbai seemed addicted to picking them out, choosing a full seven pairs, telling Xu Wanxing to wear a different pair every day of the week.

Wait a minute, something didn’t seem right.

Xu Wanxing belatedly realized, “Hubby, how did you know what size I wear?”

Lu Yanbai’s gaze swept over Xu Wanxing’s waist and hips. “I gauged it, and I also measured it with my hand when you sat on my lap.”

He was a human measuring tape!

Xu Wanxing mused internally, his eyes subconsciously drawn to Lu Yanbai’s waist and hips.

Lu Yanbai had a slim waist and long legs; that much he could confirm.

Xu Wanxing held up the pair of lace-trimmed briefs in his hand. “Hubby, I think these would suit you too. Maybe you should wear them.”

Lu Yanbai smiled. “They wouldn’t fit me.”

Was he bigger than me?

Xu Wanxing didn’t believe it. Although he was cannon fodder, Lu Yanbai was the Protagonist Beta! How could the Protagonist Beta be bigger than him?

Furthermore, he was an Alpha, and Lu Yanbai was an Omega. It was only natural that an Alpha would be bigger than an Omega.

Lu Yanbai must be lying to him.

To protect Lu Yanbai’s self-esteem, Xu Wanxing probed, “Then how about we buy one size larger?”

Lu Yanbai shook his head. “They still wouldn’t fit.”

How pretentious, Lu Yanbai.

Xu Wanxing considered himself to be of average size—no, average Alpha size. For Lu Yanbai to claim that even a size larger wouldn’t fit was a definite sign of him showing off.

However, he decided not to expose Lu Yanbai. Xu Wanxing just smiled.

He hadn’t seen what Lu Yanbai looked like without clothes, but naturally, he wouldn’t get to. That was an exclusive perk for the Protagonist Alpha; he was just a small piece of cannon fodder pushing the plot.

He was actually afraid of seeing him unclothed, as it might make it harder to leave once the plot concluded.

In ancient times, if someone saw my body, they had to take responsibility for me. The ABO world might be the same.

After buying the clothes, Lu Yanbai drove Xu Wanxing back to school.

After exchanging a familiar goodnight kiss, Xu Wanxing carried the pile of shopping bags back to his dorm.

Seeing Xu Wanxing exhausted and panting, Pei Yu raised an eyebrow. “Did you go out and rob someone? You bought so many things.”

Xu Wanxing replied, “My husband bought them for me.”

Pei Yu immediately fell silent, unable to utter the warnings he had previously given Xu Wanxing.

Pei Yu looked calm on the surface, but his insides were churning.

It was time for the familiar advanced mathematics class.

Xu Wanxing had spent most of last night sorting and washing all the clothes, completely exhausting himself. He overslept this morning and had to rush to the classroom.

Upon arriving, Xu Wanxing looked around. Why were there no seats left?

The old professor saw him and beckoned. “Hurry up and find a seat! Class is starting soon.”

Xu Wanxing looked around and found that the only empty seat was next to Ji Rongyu.

Thinking of how much Ji Rongyu seemed to dislike him before, Xu Wanxing didn’t want to sit next to him.

But there was no choice, as there were no other seats. Xu Wanxing had to steel himself and sit down.

He still had a steamed bun in his hand. This time, he didn’t ask Ji Rongyu anything and just buried his head in his food.

Food is the most important thing in the world. He couldn’t starve himself.

Soon after, a note was passed to him.

“The sound of you eating is bothering me. Be quieter.”

Xu Wanxing was stunned. What sound could he possibly make eating a steamed bun? Buns were soft; they didn’t crunch like cookies.

Xu Wanxing swallowed the last bite of his bun and scribbled on the note with flamboyant strokes: “Okay.”

A moment later, the note was passed back.

“You took a while to sit down just now. Did you not want to sit next to me?”

Xu Wanxing secretly peeked at Ji Rongyu.

He truly deserved his reputation as a lofty flower. He wasn’t sweating at all on such a hot day, and his skin was snowy white and delicate, like a celestial being.

He quickly fabricated an excuse: “I was afraid you’d dislike me or find me bothersome.”

Stop talking to me, Ji Rongyu. Isn’t this annoying? This is advanced mathematics class; he needed to pay attention!

Xu Wanxing felt helpless inside.

System: [Host, please dismiss that thought. Have you forgotten that Ji Rongyu is your lickspittle target? You need to properly act as his lickspittle, not treat him with indifference here.]

Just then, Xu Wanxing received a new mission.

[Today’s Mission: Confess your love to Ji Rongyu and be rejected (0/1)]

Xu Wanxing: Holy cow?!!

He was treating Ji Rongyu so indifferently right now. How was he supposed to confess to him?

Should he just write “I like you” on that piece of paper?

Would that be too direct?

Xu Wanxing hesitated, writing, crossing out, writing, and crossing out again on the note.

The System couldn’t watch anymore. [Host, please follow the plot: Your meal tray is flipped by your former dorm mate. Ji Rongyu steps in to save the day, and the Host confesses his love to Ji Rongyu.]

Xu Wanxing: Worthy of a plot! So melodramatic!

So Ji Rongyu is supposed to come to the rescue, right?

Would his former dorm mate really flip his meal tray? Xu Wanxing recalled his three dorm mates, especially Zhou Wei, who had been so enthusiastic about helping him.

He even helped him move his luggage; he didn’t seem like the type to flip a meal tray.

This plot definitely has a bug.

How could he get them to flip his meal tray while ensuring Ji Rongyu was right next to him?

Xu Wanxing opened his chat app, found Zhou Wei, and messaged him.

“Xu Wanxing: Brother, can I trouble you with something?”

To his surprise, the reply was instant.

“Zhou Wei: We’re brothers. Just say what it is; I’ll definitely help you.”

The dorm leader, Cheng Yang, watched Zhou Wei grinning foolishly at his phone and couldn’t help but ask, “Girlfriend?”
