Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 37

“Shock! Imperial Capital University’s Lofty Flower Has Secretly Given His Heart!”

“The Tale of the Lofty Flower Cleaning the Floor for His Beloved!”

“The Campus Crush Loves Mopping? Is it the Distortion of Human Nature or the Decay of Morality!”

After cleaning up, Xu Wanxing rubbed his slightly sore lower back; he had almost died of fright just now.

Ji Rongyu suddenly stood up and walked away.

Xu Wanxing watched his retreating figure, then looked at Ji Rongyu’s meal on the table, which had barely been touched.

Oh, my heavens.

Was Ji Rongyu a fairy who subsisted on dew? He only ate that little and stopped.

Xu Wanxing had lived in poverty before and knew what it felt like to have an empty, starving stomach.

He couldn’t stand this kind of waste and gritted his teeth in annoyance.

He glanced around. Ji Rongyu was really gone.

In that case, it wouldn’t hurt if he secretly ate a little, would it? A rich young master like Ji Rongyu probably wasn’t sick, either.

Xu Wanxing used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of Guo Bao Rou (Sweet and Sour Pork) and shoved it into his mouth.

Delicious! The school cafeteria’s food was truly wonderful—rich and tasty.

As he reached for the second piece, Xu Wanxing noticed a shadow fall over him, completely enveloping him.

Who was that? Blocking him while he ate.

Xu Wanxing stuffed the Guo Bao Rou into his mouth and looked sideways.

Huh?!!

Why was Ji Rongyu back?!

He, he still had Ji Rongyu’s Guo Bao Rou stuffed in his mouth!

This was utter social death. Xu Wanxing wished he could find a hole to crawl into right now.

The piece of Guo Bao Rou was huge, completely stuffing his mouth, so he couldn’t speak for a moment.

He could only chew with bulging cheeks, his eyes watering as he looked at Ji Rongyu, silently begging for forgiveness.

Ji Rongyu pursed his lips and didn’t say anything, placing a new meal tray he had just gotten onto the table.

Xu Wanxing finally finished chewing the meat, which nearly choked him—it was a super large piece of Guo Bao Rou.

He looked at Ji Rongyu pitifully. “I only ate two pieces of Guo Bao Rou, and I didn’t touch anything else. I didn’t mean to eat it. I thought you had left and wouldn’t eat it, so I did. Please let me explain.”

Ji Rongyu nodded and pushed the new meal in front of Xu Wanxing. “Eat this one.”

He then picked up his chopsticks and began eating the plate that Xu Wanxing had touched.

Xu Wanxing was stunned, looking at the lavish meal in front of him: Guo Bao Rou, chicken leg, sweet and sour tenderloin, and sour fish—a full four meat dishes! Was Ji Rongyu feeding a pig?

This plate was even more abundant than Ji Rongyu’s own.

Hadn’t Ji Rongyu just said he found the chicken leg dirty because it touched his rice?

Why was he now eating the food he had just touched?

Xu Wanxing was puzzled. “Ji Rongyu, aren’t you mad? I stole your food.”

Ji Rongyu paused. “Not really. You must have been too hungry, that’s why you ate my meal, right?”

Xu Wanxing pointed at the meal tray in front of him. “Why did you get me food?”

“Just eat what I give you. Why ask so many questions?” Ji Rongyu fell silent after speaking, focusing on his meal.

Xu Wanxing bit into the big chicken leg, sneaking a peek at Ji Rongyu. Ji Rongyu was truly a good person; he even bought him food.

Since transmigrating to this ABO world, he seemed to constantly meet good people.

Maybe this was compensation for his death from overwork.

Thinking that way, it didn’t seem so bad after all.

Xu Wanxing quickly finished his meal. Just as he was about to go find Zhou Wei to apologize, Ji Rongyu called out to him.

Ji Rongyu looked hesitant. “If you truly don’t have money, you can borrow from me. I can also arrange for a counselor to get you some poverty subsidies or work-study opportunities. But don’t look for an Omega to be your Sugar Daddy.”

“A young and pure Alpha like you can easily be deceived by those manipulative Omegas.”

Xu Wanxing was dumbfounded. Huh? What “manipulative Omega?” Was he talking about Lu Yanbai?

Wait, wait! He still hadn’t confessed.

This was a great opportunity!

Xu Wanxing’s face flushed with shyness. He nodded, looking at Ji Rongyu with admiration.

“Okay, thank you, Ji Rongyu. You’re so good to me. Um, I like you.”

Five seconds later, Ji Rongyu still hadn’t made a sound.

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

Silence is rejection.

Xu Wanxing was extremely satisfied. Despite a few minor twists, the mission was successfully completed.

But he had to pretend to look defeated. “I’m sorry. I’ve bothered you too much. I’ll get going now.”

Watching Xu Wanxing’s retreating back, Ji Rongyu uncomfortably reached up and pressed the area over his heart.

Why didn’t he reject Xu Wanxing immediately, like he usually would, when Xu Wanxing confessed to him?

His throat felt like it was clogged, leaving him unable to speak, only filled with utter delight.

He wanted to say something, but Xu Wanxing had already run off.

No! Xu Wanxing and he were both Alphas. How could he violate the natural order and be with another Alpha?

While Ji Rongyu was lost in confusion, Xu Wanxing had already embraced Zhou Wei as a sworn brother. After the apology, the two had become fast friends.

Cheng Yang, the “Big Brother,” watched Zhou Wei’s embarrassed reactions, his face flushing like a monkey’s butt every time he had physical contact with Xu Wanxing.

They were three people, but Cheng Yang had become the fifth wheel.

Zhou Wei said with some concern, “It’s really fine, right? I had no idea Ji Rongyu was so influential.”

Xu Wanxing nodded forcefully. “Brother, I didn’t know either! But don’t worry, I convinced Ji Rongyu. He believes we were acting.”

Zhou Wei looked like he wanted to speak but stopped, his small eyes constantly darting toward Xu Wanxing. “Your fetish is truly niche. It’s totally normal for people to misunderstand.”

Xu Wanxing froze, remembering the lie he had hastily concocted. He gave a stiff nod.

Zhou Wei then asked, “By the way, how did you end up with Ji Rongyu? He’s famously aloof. He actually ate with you! I heard his germaphobia is super severe, right?”

Xu Wanxing thought of Ji Rongyu eating the food he had touched. “It’s actually not that bad.”

Cheng Yang suddenly cut in, “Why did you ask Zhou Wei to act it out when you were eating with Ji Rongyu? Do you like Ji Rongyu?”

Zhou Wei protested, “Big Brother, that’s impossible! They’re both Alphas! How could they be together? Big Brother, that joke isn’t funny.”

Xu Wanxing, however, nodded, a pained look on his face. “You’re right. I wanted to use that opportunity to confess to him. I didn’t expect it to backfire. Ji Rongyu just rejected me.”

Zhou Wei was stunned, his small eyes widening like copper bells.

“No way, you really like Ji Rongyu?”

Xu Wanxing shook his head fiercely inside. How could he like a lofty flower like that?

But Cheng Yang had given him an easy out, so he went along with it. “Yeah. Ji Rongyu is the campus crush. Who wouldn’t like someone that good-looking?”

Zhou Wei was silent for a moment, then gave a sheepish smile. “That’s true.” His voice held an almost undetectable catch of sorrow.

His budding, innocent love was shattered just like that.

He was shattered, too.

How could he possibly compete with Ji Rongyu?
