After Pretending to Be an Alpha, I Was Exposed by My Rival - Chapter 20

Zhou Yijue leaned against the wall, his eyes cold as he glared down viciously at Lu Chizhou.

“If you don’t want another kick, then get lost.”

“Heh.”

Lu Chizhou licked the corner of his mouth, rubbing the spot where he had been kneed. His smile grew even more wicked. Ignoring Zhou Yijue’s warning, he continued closing in.

“Angry?”

“Get lost.”

“But I only want to roll into here.”

Lu Chizhou tapped a finger against Zhou Yijue’s chest, slowly drawing circles over his heart.

Zhou Yijue grabbed his finger and punched him in the face.

“Dream on. Don’t even think I’ll ever submit beneath you in this lifetime.”

He shoved Lu Chizhou away hard, opened the door, and left.

“If not underneath, we can try another position,” Lu Chizhou said, still smiling. Even with blood at the corner of his mouth, it didn’t affect his handsomeness at all.

Zhou Yijue turned back to glare at him, then stormed off.

Once Zhou Yijue was gone, Lu Chizhou’s smile vanished instantly. He slapped his own mouth hard, so regretful he wanted to slam his head into the toilet.

Lu Chizhou.

You idiot.

What the hell were you saying?!

“Bro Lu, you didn’t fight Zhou Yijue, did you? But why are you the one injured? Based on strength, shouldn’t you be stronger?” Monkey and Wu Qi came over to watch the show when they saw Lu Chizhou’s injury.

Ever since middle school, hardly anyone had been able to leave marks on Lu Chizhou’s face.

So the two of them found it extremely fresh.

Lu Chizhou felt bitter inside, but he didn’t know how to explain.

That clearly wasn’t what he had wanted to say.

But his mouth just had to be cheap.

“Bro Lu? What happened?” Wu Qi became even more curious when he didn’t answer.

“Get lost. Can’t you see I’m annoyed?” Lu Chizhou was irritated. Seeing Wu Qi’s face leaning closer only made him more annoyed, so he covered Wu Qi’s face with his hand and shoved him away.

“Is it a relationship problem? Bro Lu, if it’s relationship problems, you should ask me. I’m an expert,” Monkey said, joining in.

“You, a single dog since birth? Expert my ass,” Wu Qi said in disdain.

Monkey clicked his tongue, puffed out his chest, and bumped Wu Qi. “So what if I’ve never dated? I’ve read no fewer than five hundred dating guidebooks. My head is full of romance techniques. Ask me and you won’t go wrong.”

Wu Qi was just about to shove Monkey aside and tell him to get lost when Lu Chizhou actually took the bait.

“What should you do if you say something you didn’t mean and make the other person hate you?”

“What do you mean by ‘didn’t mean’?” Monkey asked.

“As in, your heart clearly didn’t think that way, but your mouth ran off and said something you shouldn’t have—something that made the other person hate you.”

“How much do they hate you?”

“To the point they want to cripple me.”

Monkey sucked in a breath of cold air and took the chance to pat Lu Chizhou’s shoulder.

“Bro Lu, keyboard or durian—which one do you choose?”

Lu Chizhou: “???”

“Kneel on a keyboard or kneel on a durian to apologize. You’ve got to pick one. Otherwise, this’ll be hard to fix.”

“Bro Lu, don’t believe this idiot. He’s just bragging. I think you should honestly explain things and apologize properly,” Wu Qi said, pushing Monkey aside to speak first.

“Buy me both a keyboard and a durian.” Lu Chizhou opened his optical computer, tapped a few times, and transferred money to Monkey.

Monkey stood straight and saluted seriously.

“Don’t worry, Bro Lu. I, Monkey, will complete this glorious mission.”

“Bro Lu, you really believe that idiot?” Wu Qi asked worriedly after Monkey ran off.

“Buy them first as backup.”

…

“Xiao Zhou Zhou, why the long face? Who offended you? Tell me and I’ll go deal with him.”

Yuan Datou walked over with two bags of chips. He was about to give Zhou Yijue one when he saw him sitting there with a terrible expression.

“Someone surnamed Lu. Go deal with him.”

“Lu? Lu Chizhou? Haha… then I’ll just stay here and help you calm down. Here, have some chips.”

The moment Yuan Datou heard it was Lu Chizhou, he immediately chickened out.

He had no choice.

The gap between him and Lu Chizhou was more than just one level. Forget Lu Chizhou—he couldn’t even beat Zhou Yijue. Normally, he only dared call him “Xiao Zhou Zhou” because he was thick-skinned. If not for the fact that Zhou Yijue currently only had him as a close friend, and killing him would leave him with none, he would have been thrown onto the street to feed the dogs long ago.

Bang.

“Holy crap, you scared me to death!”

Zhou Yijue took the chips, squeezed hard, and the air burst out with a loud pop, nearly scaring Yuan Datou to the floor.

Still not relieved, Zhou Yijue crushed the entire bag in his hands. The sound of chips breaking kept coming out, making Yuan Datou so heartbroken he nearly drooled.

In the end, Zhou Yijue threw the crumpled bag toward the trash bin in the corner of the classroom.

When he threw it, no one was there.

But just after it left his hand, someone appeared.

Lu Chizhou walked in from the back of the classroom with a dark expression, his mind full of thoughts about how to apologize and explain things clearly. The price of being distracted was getting hit right in the head by a bag of chips.

“Whoa,” Wu Qi shouted.

The noisy classroom instantly fell silent as everyone stared at this historic scene.

The second-ranked student had hit the first-ranked student!

An epic encounter!

Were they about to fight immediately?

This was way too exciting!

But what happened the next second shocked everyone.

Lu Chizhou touched the spot on his forehead, glanced at the “hidden weapon” by his feet, silently crouched down, picked it up…

Everyone thought he was about to throw it back for revenge.

But Lu Chizhou calmly tossed it into the trash can instead, then looked at Zhou Yijue ingratiatingly.

“I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Everyone collapsed.

Zhou Yijue rolled his eyes hard, turned away, and flipped open a book with force. But in his hand, he held a pen and was furiously writing the word “die” all over his notebook.

Yuan Datou secretly leaned over to peek and was scared numb by the page full of blood-red “die” characters. He quickly ate several more chips to calm himself down.

Every day, Lu Chizhou wrote a letter on pink stationery and slipped it into Zhou Yijue’s desk. He even specially asked Monkey to teach him how to fold it into a heart.

When Zhou Yijue first saw it, he didn’t know what it was. Thinking it was from some Omega who had a crush on him, he picked it up and casually threw it into the trash.

But after he threw it away, an identical heart-shaped note appeared the next day.

And again on the third day.

And again on the fourth.

Until the seventh day, Zhou Yijue opened the note with a dark face.

He saw Lu Chizhou’s invitation.

I have something to talk to you about. Meet me on the rooftop at noon. Come alone. —Lu Chizhou

Zhou Yijue stared at the baffling message, cursed “idiot,” then tore the note to pieces.

At noon.

Zhou Yijue went to the meeting. As soon as he reached the rooftop, he saw Lu Chizhou smiling at him—smiling in a particularly disgusting way.

Zhou Yijue walked over impatiently and stopped in front of him, speaking coldly and viciously.

“If you have something to say, say it. If you have a fart, let it out. Standing too close to you makes me want to vomit.”

“For you.”

Lu Chizhou suddenly took out a large bouquet of roses from behind his back and held it out to Zhou Yijue.

Zhou Yijue’s face visibly darkened.

“Lu Chizhou, what the hell do you mean? Are you using roses to humiliate me?”

“I’m not.”

“Aren’t you just using roses to remind me that I’m an Omega and that I’ll never beat you in this lifetime?”

Zhou Yijue was so furious his fists clenched tightly and his eyes turned red with anger.

That familiar posture—

He was about to get beaten again.

Lu Chizhou instinctively wanted to dodge, but then remembered Monkey’s dating guide: when you anger your lover, you absolutely must not dodge when they explode. You must let them hit and scold you until their heart softens.

Lu Chizhou decided not to dodge and braced himself for the beating.

Beep—

“2333 System repair successful.”

“2333 System will now begin serving you.”

“2333 System welcomes Host No. 0981 to the plot-maintenance mission for the book I Won the Best Omega Award by Having Seven Children. The mission is simple. Just follow the script, give birth to seven children for the book’s main gong, Lu Chizhou, and achieve a happy ending with Lu Chizhou.”

The sudden mechanical voice made Zhou Yijue’s fist stop halfway through the air.

Lu Chizhou in front of him showed no reaction.

The voice had appeared directly inside his mind.

So he had actually transmigrated into a book, not just transmigrated worlds?

And he even had a system?

A garbage system that only appeared after he had already lived in this interstellar world for eighteen whole years?

“I’m very sorry. System 2333 suffered severe damage during its previous mission, so repairs took eighteen years. Fortunately, it’s still not too late to fix the plot. As long as the host dates Lu Chizhou, marries him, and successfully gives birth to seven children for him, the mission will be considered successful.”

“You left me alone in this mission world for eighteen whole years, and the moment you show up, you ask me to give birth to seven Calabash Brothers?”

“I’m very sorry. That is what the mission requires.”

“Get lost—”

“Hosts who fail to complete the mission will be erased.”

“I’d rather die than give birth.”

2333: “……”
