Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 98

Péi Yù  slicked his hair back, pushing all the damp strands away from his eyes, and climbed ashore.

“I wanted to race one person, but that person was ranked very far back, so I decided to wait to race.”

The teacher waved his hand. “With your skill level, you can just swim again later. Who could possibly beat you? Go dry off quickly. If you stay here, some people won’t be able to concentrate on swimming.”

As soon as he finished speaking, an Alpha-looking student approached Péi Yù, blushing intensely, and started to confess.

Péi Yù refused, but the student didn’t give up, insisting on asking what kind of person he liked.

Péi Yù thought for a moment and gave an answer: “I like someone who swims faster than me.”

The student’s face instantly turned gray. Péi Yù was incredibly skilled at swimming, the kind of level that could get one into a prestigious university through athletic achievement.

Yet, Péi Yù’s academic performance was also good.

In order to choose the major he loved—Mathematics—Péi Yù simply participated in the Math Olympiad and ultimately received a guaranteed admission.

He was terrifyingly good at swimming.

Who could possibly beat him and win his favor?

Péi Yù draped a towel over himself and walked back to the starting point. After turning down a few more people with the same reasoning, he came to Xǔ Wǎn Xīng (許晚星).

Looking at his calf, he asked: “Does it still hurt? Why don’t I give you another massage? We’re roommates; don’t be shy.”

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng said: “It’s much better.” Péi Yù was truly a great person, but Péi Yù’s standards for a partner were genuinely challenging.

Judging by Péi Yù’s swimming speed just now, he knew Péi Yù was incredibly strong.

Could Jì Róng Yǔ (紀容與) swim faster than him?

Wait, there actually is a way.

Quickly get Péi Yù to swim a second time and beat him while his stamina is depleted.

Although this wasn’t honorable, once they became a couple, who cared about honor?

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng noticed Jì Róng Yǔ’s hesitant expression and quickly spoke: “How about the three of us have a race later?”

He would be the villain who suggested it!

Péi Yù paused, then looked at Jì Róng Yǔ, and they exchanged glances. “Sounds good.”

Jì Róng Yǔ frowned, his tone displeased: “Didn’t we agree to race just once? You’ve already swum. If I win now, it won’t be honorable.”

Péi Yù laughed heartily, tears coming to his eyes. He held Xǔ Wǎn Xīng’s shoulder, gasping. “Don’t worry, you can’t beat me.”

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng: Why does Péi Yù sound so mocking?

Behaving like this will easily lead to losing a wife.

However, if Péi Yù and Jì Róng Yǔ got together, who would be the top and who would be the bottom?

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng was lost in confusion, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why was he thinking about this? What does it have to do with him? He should mind his own business, be the cannon fodder, and just pass the swimming class.

In a moment, everyone else had mostly finished their races. In truth, no one taking the swimming class was unable to swim; everyone who chose it knew how.

Who would enroll in a swimming class with the mindset of learning, only to risk failing P.E. and having to retake it?

Only the three of them were left. Xǔ Wǎn Xīng felt enormous pressure standing between them.

Jì Róng Yǔ was looking at him, and Péi Yù was also looking at him.

But he suspected they were actually looking at each other, and he was just in the middle.

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng tightened his core, preparing himself. As soon as the teacher’s whistle blew, he shot out like an arrow from a bow.

Swimming was easy for him.

Everything went smoothly. When Xǔ Wǎn Xīng reached the end, he looked up and saw shock in the teacher’s eyes.

Glancing left and right, Jì Róng Yǔ and Péi Yù hadn’t arrived yet.

How was that possible?!

The teacher suddenly shouted toward the area behind Xǔ Wǎn Xīng: “Cramping? I’m coming to save you.”

Jì Róng Yǔ had already reached the finish line. He turned his head and saw Xǔ Wǎn Xīng, like a nimble mermaid, quickly swimming toward Péi Yù’s position.

…Damn it!

The teacher threw down his scoreboard and jumped into the water, so naturally, he wasn’t as fast as Xǔ Wǎn Xīng.

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng had already reached Péi Yù. Seeing the painful expression on Péi Yù’s face, he tried to support him, but Péi Yù pressed a hand onto his shoulder, pushing him under the water.

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng choked on a mouthful of water and quickly surfaced, wrapping his arms around Péi Yù’s arms to prevent him from flailing and pushing him underwater again.

The teacher also swam over and patted Péi Yù’s back. Péi Yù coughed a few times, looking confusedly at Xǔ Wǎn Xīng, who was right in front of him.

Strands of hair clung to his temples, giving him a somewhat delicate look. His lips glistened with water.

But Xǔ Wǎn Xīng had no mind to appreciate the beauty. He anxiously looked around for Jì Róng Yǔ.

This was the best time to gain favorability! Where did Jì Róng Yǔ go?!

Jì Róng Yǔ was nowhere to be found. Just as Xǔ Wǎn Xīng was anxious, a head suddenly surfaced from the water, startling him.

It was Jì Róng Yǔ!

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng’s eyes lit up. He immediately pulled Jì Róng Yǔ closer and tried to push the listless Péi Yù into his embrace with the other hand.

…Why wouldn’t he move?

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng’s hand pressed on Péi Yù’s chest. He pushed several times, but Péi Yù didn’t move toward Jì Róng Yǔ.

Jì Róng Yǔ couldn’t be pulled over either.

He was in a very difficult position, stuck in the middle.

The teacher quietly watched the pale hand on Péi Yù’s chest and silently swam to the side.

“Hurry and help him to shore. I’m leaving first.” I’ll give you young people a chance.

The teacher gave Xǔ Wǎn Xīng a look that implied “you know what’s going on” and swam away quickly.

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng: I definitely know what’s going on!

He was the master of understanding.

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng pulled Jì Róng Yǔ a couple of times, dragging him closer.

He anxiously said: “Jì Róng Yǔ, take him to shore. My leg seems to be cramping too, and it hurts a little. You go ahead.”

Jì Róng Yǔ’s usual calmness disappeared. He anxiously grabbed Xǔ Wǎn Xīng’s arm. “Are you okay? Let me help you out first.”

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng pushed Jì Róng Yǔ’s hand away, pointing at Péi Yù. “He is more important. Help him first. I’m fine.”

He really was fine; his leg wasn’t actually cramping.

He was just creating opportunities for them.

Péi Yù wrapped one arm around Xǔ Wǎn Xīng’s waist, suppressing the pain in his leg, and swam toward the shore with him.

“I’m feeling much better. I’ll swim you to the shore.”

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng: ?!!

This was not what he intended!

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng wanted to struggle, but seeing the painful expression on Péi Yù’s face, he didn’t dare to move.

Was Péi Yù crazy?! His leg was cramping, yet he still wanted to swim him to shore.

And Jì Róng Yǔ, this was a perfect opportunity. Why wasn’t he seizing it?

He was worried sick!

Before he could persuade them, Jì Róng Yǔ wrapped his arm around Xǔ Wǎn Xīng’s waist from the other side.

The two arms met at his lower back, and even Xǔ Wǎn Xīng could feel the tension between the two men.

Was he some kind of connector?

To be stuck in the middle connecting the two of them at a time like this!

How ridiculous!

However, this was also a good sign. At least their arms were touching, a form of skin-to-skin contact.

Xǔ Wǎn Xīng comforted himself mentally. Although being sandwiched between them was incredibly awkward, he could endure it.

Considering the person whose leg was genuinely cramping, Xǔ Wǎn Xīng said: “My leg suddenly feels much better. Jì Róng Yǔ, why don’t you help Péi Yù to the shore? His cramp is more severe. I’ll just swim by myself.”
