Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 80

Life is never easy for a working stiff.

In the past, he wouldn’t have dared to spend money on a spacious taxi like this, trying to save every penny he could.

He was used to it, but how could a young master like Shen Yuxian be used to it? He should be accommodating to Shen Yuxian.

Shen Yuxian mumbled a strained reply, understanding Xu Wanxing’s good intentions.

He appreciated the thought.

The driver glanced at the two in the back seat and chuckled, his voice hearty. “Your little secretary is quite nice, giving you so much space to sit.”

The “little secretary” looked out the window, his scalp tingling with embarrassment.

Shen Yuxian laughed twice in agreement.

The car stopped at the entrance of the library. After paying the fare and getting out, Shen Yuxian looked at the sign for the City Library in silence.

He vaguely remembered that Elder Lu told Xu Wanxing to take him out to “clear his mind.”

Clearing his mind at the library?

That was a first.

“CEO Shen, there’s a Willow Road behind the library. I’ll take you there for a walk,” Xu Wanxing said.

The morning weather wasn’t too hot. The cool breeze moved the willows and also blew onto people, which felt very comfortable.

Willow Road had many elderly people strolling leisurely after meals, as well as young people running and exercising.

Just standing on this road could make one feel much lighter.

Shen Yuxian was tall, with ruggedly handsome features. This type of Alpha was most favored by Omegas.

However, the streaks of gloom and sorrow in his brows severely undermined this aura. Just looking at him, one could tell he was hard to approach and probably bad-tempered.

What Omega would dare develop feelings for an Alpha who might commit domestic violence?

Many Omegas exercising saw Shen Yuxian and quickly avoided him. People tend to follow the crowd, and soon an empty circle formed around Shen Yuxian and Xu Wanxing.

An awkward silence filled the air between the two.

Shen Yuxian suddenly stopped. “Let’s go somewhere else. I don’t really like it here.”

Xu Wanxing nodded. He was also very embarrassed and led Shen Yuxian into the library.

His original plan was to take Shen Yuxian for a walk to cheer him up, complete the mission, and then go to the library to study.

For this purpose, he had even stuffed his calculus textbook and scratch paper into his bag.

It was early in the morning, and the library was sparsely populated and very spacious, so Xu Wanxing and Shen Yuxian sat face-to-face.

It was a four-person table. They occupied two seats, and the other two were empty.

Xu Wanxing’s eyes lit up when he saw his calculus book. A score of 85+ in calculus was beckoning to him.

What university student can endure failing an exam?

Xu Wanxing quickly solved a few problems on the scratch paper, checked the answers, and they were all correct!

A trivial L’Hôpital’s Rule, captured!

Shen Yuxian placed his hands on the table, fingers interlocked, propping up his chin, watching him distractedly.

Normally, his mind had to process all sorts of affairs and also think about how to confess to Wanxing, so his brain never stopped.

Not anymore. Wanxing didn’t want him, and he had pushed his work aside as Elder Lu instructed.

His once busy life suddenly had a large void, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

People who are used to working feel aimless and incredibly bored when they suddenly have free time.

Xu Wanxing noticed Shen Yuxian’s gaze, and his temple throbbed. How could he have forgotten about him?

His eyes scanned the tabletop. How could he help Shen Yuxian relax and distract himself?

Ask Shen Yuxian to write a few proposals for him to look at?

Forget it. Shen Yuxian was a dignified CEO. Could those precious hands of his write proposals in addition to signing those sky-high contracts?

Impossible! He had so many employees under him. It wouldn’t be his turn to do these things.

Unlike him, in his past life, right after finishing his work and taking a moment to drink the coffee he bought for a pick-me-up, his manager would suddenly come over, toss a few proposals at him, causing him endless misery and forcing him to work overtime late into the night.

A worker’s job is never done, all for the sake of making a living.

But Shen Yuxian was different. Money that couldn’t be spent in dozens of lifetimes wasn’t enough. Like Lu Yanbai, he was an extremely pure workaholic, without a hint of laziness.

Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry.

People born with a silver spoon, who are good-looking, healthy, and intelligent—that’s one thing—but they also work hard and are excellent at making money!

Xu Wanxing silently shed a tear of bitterness in his heart. He had a plan.

He pushed the calculus textbook to the center of the table, turning it 90 degrees so they could both see it clearly.

Xu Wanxing’s gaze was sincere. “CEO Shen, if you’re bored, why not do some problems? It’s good for the mind and body.”

Shen Yuxian: “?”

Calculus problems are good for the mind and body? That’s a new one.

Xu Wanxing had already handed over the scratch paper and a pen. Shen Yuxian thought for a moment, took them, and casually selected a problem to solve.

Xu Wanxing nodded in satisfaction. This problem wasn’t simple. If Shen Yuxian couldn’t figure it out, he could teach him.

Shen Yuxian had graduated a few years ago. It was normal to forget the calculus he learned in his freshman year. He wouldn’t look down on him.

It was finally his turn to show off.

The feeling of being able to show off in front of the protagonist Alpha would be incredibly satisfying.

Shen Yuxian wrote a few lines, stopped, and pushed the scratch paper toward Xu Wanxing.

Xu Wanxing’s demeanor was gentle as he picked up the scratch paper. “Can’t do it, right? Let me teach…”

?!!!!

Shen Yuxian solved it?

Xu Wanxing couldn’t believe it. He took out his own scratch paper to compare. There was absolutely no problem, and Shen Yuxian’s steps were much more concise than his own.

Shen Yuxian twirled the pen and asked casually, “What were you going to teach me?”

Xu Wanxing laughed awkwardly. “Teach me, teach me! CEO Shen, how could I possibly teach you?”

Shen Yuxian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, the gloom between his brows easing slightly.

Shen Yuxian had a classically handsome face. Usually, his expression was stern, exuding the authority and nobility of a superior, which made people feel intimidated.

He was intimidating when he wasn’t smiling, but even more so when he did.

His smile made the entire library seem to brighten up a little.

Shen Yuxian covered his mouth with his fist and chuckled for a good while before calming down. “Junior Schoolmate Xu, are you playing games with me? I am an esteemed student of a respected professor. How could I not know this little bit of calculus?”

Xu Wanxing picked up the pen, wrote two words on the scratch paper, pushed it toward Shen Yuxian, and lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

The two words scrawled elegantly on the paper were: “Admiration.” (佩服)

Shen Yuxian’s pupils contracted sharply when he saw the words. His fingers unconsciously gripped the scratch paper, making a rustling sound.

Shen Yuxian quickly glanced at Xu Wanxing, then relaxed his grip on the scratch paper.

He sighed with relief when he saw Xu Wanxing wasn’t looking at him.

He pinched his thigh with his fingers, the other hand pressed against his lips, his teeth biting down on his knuckle, terrified that he might cry out.

A sharp sting radiated from his thigh. He could already taste the metallic flavor of blood in his mouth. The sharp bite of his teeth broke the skin of his finger. Blood poured into his mouth, and his head swam from the loss of blood.

Shen Yuxian licked his wound. An Alpha’s saliva had wound-healing properties, and the bleeding gradually stopped.

Shen Yuxian took his finger out of his mouth, pursed his lips in silence, and looked at the two words with bloodshot eyes.

His self-control was on the brink of collapse. Wanxing’s face and voice flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
