Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 87

He skillfully pushed the door open. Inside, a rush of humid steam hit him, along with a surprised Pei Yu.

He was slightly bent over, one hand braced against the wall near the showerhead. His muscles were firm, especially his V-lines (meridian lines), which deeply captivated Xu Wanxing’s eyes.

Coupled with Pei Yu’s wolf-dog look (rugged, handsome appearance), the atmosphere in the bathroom instantly became charged with sexual tension.

The full force of Alpha charm rushed at him, and the main thing was that Pei Yu was naked and showering.

Xu Wanxing naturally couldn’t scream and run out like a female lead in a TV drama seeing a shirtless man for the first time.

He admitted he was a little panicked inside, but it was nothing. He had seen plenty of shirtless men. They were everywhere in public bathhouses—sometimes dozens at once.

Other than Pei Yu being better-looking and having a better physique, there was nothing special about it.

However, Xu Wanxing involuntarily thought of Lu Yanbai. If the person standing naked in front of him right now was Lu Yanbai, his reaction would definitely not be this calm.

Lu Yanbai was different.

Xu Wanxing quietly blushed, quickly shaking off the messy thoughts in his mind, and looked at Pei Yu with clear, honest eyes.

“Showering? Hurry up, my stomach hurts, and I need to poop.”

Pei Yu, who had been getting carried away with fantasies seeing the flush on Xu Wanxing’s face, instantly deflated.

Not physically deflated, but spiritually—completely, utterly deflated.

He even suspected that in front of Xu Wanxing, he looked like a slab of pork belly.

He really sees him as just a good brother.

Pei Yu said, “…Alright, you go out first. I’ll rinse off and be right out.”

“Okay, okay.” Xu Wanxing backed out and closed the door.

He looked at his hand resting on his trousers and felt a surge of relief. Thank goodness he didn’t just strip his pants and rush in. What kind of scene would that have been?

In broad daylight, how indecent!

He needed a drink of water to calm down. Looking at the few bottles of iced water he had placed on Pei Yu’s desk, Xu Wanxing was full of regret. Why did he buy iced water?

He shouldn’t have prioritized immediate pleasure like that. Look at the mess he got himself into.

Now he was thirsty, his stomach hurt badly, and his mind was a whirlwind, with fragmented images of a shirtless Pei Yu and a fully clothed Lu Yanbai swirling together.

Pei Yu came out. Only three of the five buttons on his pajamas were buttoned, and one was buttoned incorrectly.

But no one would notice that. Xu Wanxing’s eyes lit up at the sight of the empty bathroom, and he quickly rushed inside.

Squatting over the toilet, he finally felt complete.

One word: Relief! (爽!)

Imperial Capital University was excellent in every way, a top-tier school, but there was one thing he was very dissatisfied with: the bathroom had a squat toilet and a shower stall in the same space.

It was ridiculous for a graduate dorm with only two residents to be like this.

What if both people in the dorm wanted to poop at the same time? Couldn’t the school consider the needs of students who love to poop?

The bathroom still held the damp steam from Pei Yu’s shower, humid and carrying a faint grassy scent, like the smell of fresh grass after rain.

It was very fresh and natural.

Xu Wanxing sniffed. The scent was actually quite pleasant. He could ask Pei Yu for the brand of his shampoo and shower gel next time.

After a long while, Xu Wanxing, with wobbly legs, used the wall for support as he left the bathroom, his face a little pale.

His butt felt overused and about to split open.

Why did his stomach still hurt? He felt like he had evacuated his entire intestines.

Pei Yu’s casual glance froze. “Are you alright?”

Xu Wanxing leaned against the wall and slowly crouched to the floor, his smile pale and weak. “I think I have a serious problem. Take me to the hospital.”

Pei Yu panicked. He didn’t care about the difference between Alpha and Omega anymore. He picked up Xu Wanxing and rushed out, hailing a taxi to the hospital.

He ran around getting the registration and paying the fees. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Wanxing receiving an IV drip and his face looking better.

Pei Yu sat down next to Xu Wanxing, looking at his still pale and weak face. He thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want me to call your partner to come take care of you?”

Although he could also take care of him, he wasn’t that close to Xu Wanxing after all.

Xu Wanxing refused. Lu Yanbai was busy with work and had an early meeting tomorrow. It was too late to bother him.

Lu Yanbai walked out after getting his own medicine and coincidentally saw Xu Wanxing.

Pei Yu’s expression changed slightly when he saw Lu Yanbai. Xu Wanxing noticed the awkwardness and followed Pei Yu’s gaze.

The two stared at each other. No one spoke for a moment.

It was Pei Yu who broke the tense silence. “Since you’re here, I can leave Xu Wanxing to you. I have something to do, so I’ll be going now.”

Lu Yanbai: “…Mm. Leave me your contact info. I’ll send you the registration fee, medical expenses, and thank-you payment.”

Pei Yu waved his hand. “Xu Wanxing and I are roommates. Helping each other out is what we should do. You guys talk. I’m leaving.”

Pei Yu fled to the stairwell as if escaping, hiding in the dark corner of the stairs.

He didn’t know why he had to run.

Maybe because he didn’t have the right to be there.

Lu Yanbai went home after Xu Wanxing was settled and went to the study to deal with his remaining official business. After a while, he suddenly felt his stomach churning. He considered calling his family doctor but felt a strange urge not to.

He felt like he had forgotten something important at the hospital.

He hadn’t been to the hospital in a long time, yet he had this strange feeling.

Since his stomach was upset, going to the hospital to get some medicine was convenient anyway, so Lu Yanbai went. He didn’t expect to run into Xu Wanxing receiving an IV drip.

The person next to Xu Wanxing had the good sense to leave. Naturally, he didn’t stand on ceremony and walked over to sit next to Xu Wanxing.

Xu Wanxing’s stomach felt a little better, less painful, but his mind was still foggy. He stared blankly as Lu Yanbai sat down beside him.

He thought for a moment and said, “What a coincidence.”

Lu Yanbai’s expression shifted several times, finally settling into a doting smile. “What’s coincidental about this? Baby is still getting an IV drip. Will you dare to eat street food next time?”

Xu Wanxing: “I dare next time.”

Lu Yanbai’s expression instantly turned cold, his eyes staring at Xu Wanxing like frost. “You can’t eat it again. It’ll make you sick.”

Xu Wanxing weakly countered, “I don’t think it was the barbecue. It was drinking too much ice water. A little stomach upset is nothing to worry about.”

Xu Wanxing was unaware that his pale face and weak voice were betraying him.

Lu Yanbai closed his eyes. He knew he shouldn’t indulge Xu Wanxing, but he just couldn’t control his soft heart. “Eat less next time then.”

“Okay.”

Eat less = I’ll still eat it next time.

Maybe his body has become delicate because the food in this world is so good.

Xu Wanxing began making excuses for himself.

Lu Yanbai gently touched Xu Wanxing’s hand with the IV needle. It was a little cold. He covered Xu Wanxing’s hand with his own to warm it.

Xu Wanxing’s eyes were half-closed, emotions swirling within them. His pale lips were pressed together.

No one had ever stayed with him while he was getting an IV drip before.

In his previous life, he was an orphan with no parents and no friends. After college, he worked hard for several years after graduation to pay off his student loans.
