Chapter 10
Being the focus of everyone’s attention like this was a first for Xie Shuyun…
And it was also the most piercing one.
It wasn’t that no one had confessed to her before, but that had only been a confession!
She didn’t know whether this omega junior had already experienced a confession or not, but it was very obvious that he and the original body had been in an ambiguous stage.
He belonged to the original body’s rotten peach blossoms!
“You… don’t cry first…”
Xie Shuyun scratched her cheek, feeling like she wanted to cry but had no tears. She didn’t even know this person’s name. How was she supposed to comfort him?
She couldn’t just bluntly ask, “Who are you?” right?
Xie Shuyun had a feeling that if she said that, the omega’s sobbing would probably evolve into loud wailing. At that point, she really wouldn’t be able to clear her name no matter how hard she tried.
And also…
Xie Shuyun’s gaze lightly drifted toward Cheng Lingxue, who was standing beside the partition wall with her arms crossed, leisurely watching the scene unfold. For some reason, from those dark, calm pupils, Xie Shuyun felt as if she could see a flash of teasing amusement!
“Then why didn’t you come? Did you stand me up on purpose? I clearly sent you so many messages…”
The omega boy continued accusing her. He even raised his phone and waved it in front of Xie Shuyun.
Looking carefully, there really was a huge bombardment of messages.
But Xie Shuyun was a little confused. Logically speaking, there should have been notifications for messages, but her phone screen had been completely clean.
Taking out her own phone, she swiped her fingers across it, opened a certain Q messaging app, and searched for a while. Then the corners of Xie Shuyun’s mouth couldn’t help twitching.
The original body had two accounts.
One account had only a few contacts, including Xie Yun, Shang Yan, Qin Yu, and a few others. It was probably her main account.
The other was a complete mess. All kinds of people were on it, and the contacts were even sorted into categories.
The largest category, which had nearly a hundred people, was named…
Pets…?
And the boy’s profile picture was at the very top, with several hundred messages.
Not only that, there were also many other messages below. If they had all rung out, the phone would probably have kept dinging endlessly.
Faced with this situation, the original body had also been very decisive.
She had set all of them to Do Not Disturb…
Xie Shuyun: forced smile.jpg
She had seen all kinds of people who played with others’ feelings, but she had never seen anyone so direct.
Wasn’t the original body afraid something would go wrong?
No…
Something had already gone wrong.
And now she was the one being dragged into the pit!
“Ahem… Sorry. There must have been something wrong with my phone, so I missed your messages. I’ve really been a little busy recently, so I…”
Before Xie Shuyun could finish speaking, the omega boy seemed to have stepped on some landmine and let out a delicate scream.
“Wu-wu… Senior, I know lots of people like you, and I’m only one of them, but… but this was our first date. I had been looking forward to it for a whole month… I… I…”
The omega boy cried until he could barely breathe, his whole body swaying as if he would collapse to the ground in the next second.
Great.
Her understanding of how scummy the original body was had just been raised another level.
Xie Shuyun subconsciously covered her forehead.
These people all knew that the original body treated relationships as a game, so why did they still throw themselves into the fire like moths and cling to her?
“Ahem, this… junior. I really have been busy lately. You’re a little emotional right now, so can you calm down first?”
“Senior, don’t comfort me anymore. I know you have a new love. It’s that… that…”
The omega wiped his tears, his eyes red as he looked around. Then he glared at Cheng Lingxue, who had been watching the show, pointed at her, and shouted sharply,
“It’s her, right! I heard everything from others! Senior has taken a fancy to your own adopted daughter, and it has developed into the plot of a lovestruck school tyrant reforming herself to pursue the cold school beauty! And in reality, you’ve already secretly marked her, and even the child is already three months along!”
Xie “Lovestruck School Tyrant” Shuyun: Who am I? Where am I?
Cheng “Cold School Beauty” Ling “Three-Month Pregnant Woman” Xue: …?
Hearing the whispers around them, Xie Shuyun’s face turned ashen.
Who on earth was so wicked?
They were both still innocent young maidens!
How was she supposed to face the female lead in the future? How was she supposed to find a partner?
As for Cheng Lingxue, who had been innocently dragged into this and inexplicably became the target of venting, her breathing became a little unsteady. She couldn’t help suspecting that this was Xie Shuyun’s real goal: to ruin her reputation.
What kind of nonsense was this?
The silence of the two people involved immediately made the omega boy feel that the rumors he had heard were correct.
He looked at Cheng Lingxue as if he had caught a homewrecker. With his claws bared, he rushed toward her.
“You homewrecker! Senior is mine! I definitely won’t back down! Get away from her!”
“Hey, what are you doing?!”
Xie Shuyun widened her eyes and reached out to grab the omega boy. But this person was unexpectedly agile. He bent down, dodged Xie Shuyun’s hand, and scratched toward Cheng Lingxue’s face with his long, manicured nails.
Pa…
A soft, crisp sound rang out, and the omega boy’s scream came to an abrupt stop.
The wrist of his swinging hand was firmly gripped by another hand.
And the owner of that hand was none other than Cheng Lingxue.
The omega boy’s gaze moved downward.
His skin could be considered fair, but compared with Cheng Lingxue’s porcelain-white, flawless skin with no visible pores at all, there was no comparison.
At such a close distance, he could feel even more clearly how exquisite and perfect Cheng Lingxue’s features were. Standing beside her, he was like an ugly duckling.
That difference made him collapse a little. He twisted his hand and screamed,
“Let go of me! Let go! Senior… hurry and make her release me! Wah—”
Before he could finish, Cheng Lingxue let go.
The omega boy hadn’t expected her to suddenly release him. Unable to withdraw his strength in time, he almost staggered and fell to the ground.
“How unsightly.”
Cheng Lingxue’s thin lips parted slightly as she slowly spat out those four words.
Her deep gaze landed on the omega boy, then turned toward Xie Shuyun. No one knew exactly who she was referring to.
Perhaps both of them.
“Making such a scene in public. This is a library, not a place for romantic drama.”
“You…”
The omega boy wanted to retort, but under Cheng Lingxue’s calm gaze, his voice gradually faded.
Cheng Lingxue continued,
“There are so many people here. If you want to make a fool of yourself, I won’t stop you, but don’t drag other people into it. No one wants to play this boring game with you.”
“Wu… Senior~”
Seeing that he couldn’t argue against Cheng Lingxue, the omega boy wanted to seek help from Xie Shuyun.
But when he turned his head, he saw Xie Shuyun staring blankly at Cheng Lingxue, with none of her attention on him at all. He stamped his foot in anger.
“You… you two are teaming up to bully me! So what if you have a child? I’ll have one in the future too, and I’ll have even more than you!”
After leaving behind words that made no sense, the boy cried and turned to run away. He turned a corner in the corridor, and his figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.
The farce finally ended.
Xie Shuyun let out a breath of relief and carefully moved to Cheng Lingxue’s side. Scratching her head, she said hesitantly,
“Lingxue… thank you.”
Cheng Lingxue glanced sideways at Xie Shuyun. The coldness inside made Xie Shuyun feel chilled. She knew Cheng Lingxue was definitely angry.
After sweeping her gaze around and forcing back all the gossiping eyes nearby, Cheng Lingxue crossed her arms and looked directly at Xie Shuyun.
“The library should be kept quiet. That is a rule everyone should follow. Since he violated that rule, someone should naturally step forward and stop him.”
Her tone paused before she continued,
“If you want to flirt and talk about romance, go outside. I don’t mind studying by myself. If you want to chase that omega, then go. He was crying so pitifully.”
“No, this is a misunderstanding. I really don’t… don’t…”
Xie Shuyun anxiously pinched her hair.
In the current situation, even if she had a hundred mouths, she couldn’t explain herself clearly.
If she said yes, it wasn’t right.
If she said no, it also wasn’t right.
Who told her that she and the original body were now the same person?
“…It’s already very late…”
Before Cheng Lingxue could finish speaking, Xie Shuyun quickly stepped forward and rubbed her hands somewhat ingratiatingly.
“Why don’t I go bring lunch back for you? The weather is so hot. You should stay in the library. There’s air conditioning here. It’s much more comfortable.”
Cheng Lingxue lifted her chin slightly, like a noble queen, and gave a faint nod.
Seeing that the other party had agreed, Xie Shuyun hurriedly grabbed her bag and quickly walked outside.
But after taking only a few steps, she heard Cheng Lingxue’s slow, leisurely voice drift over from behind.
“Remember to pay attention to nutrition. After all, the child in my stomach needs it.”
Pfft—
Xie Shuyun nearly staggered and fell to the ground. Her steps forward became even faster.
Wu-wu-wu…
She almost couldn’t go on living like this anymore!
Along the way, Xie Shuyun held her phone and organized her contacts.
Those she hadn’t contacted in a long time were deleted. Those with ambiguous records were directly rejected. As for those that seemed like they were in a relationship with her…
Xie Shuyun’s head hurt.
Just how many boats had the original body been stepping on at once?!
If every single one of them was like that omega boy, she really wouldn’t know what to do.
Looking at the message history, it seemed none of them had reached the final stage. They were basically all still in the early stage. Xie Shuyun didn’t know whether she should feel fortunate about that or not.
But in order to prevent future trouble, Xie Shuyun took a deep breath and sent everyone an apology, saying that she wanted to stop the ambiguous relationship.
Naturally, this brought on even more message bombardment.
It took quite a while before she basically persuaded ninety percent of them. As for the remaining stubborn ones, she could only deal with them slowly.
“Oh no, it’s already been an hour.”
Xie Shuyun hurriedly put away her phone.
She hadn’t expected that clearing out rotten peach blossoms would actually take so long. She quickly ran toward the cafeteria, hastily picked some rice and dishes, then carried the lunch boxes toward the library.
When she arrived at the dining area, Cheng Lingxue was sitting there scrolling through her phone.
This situation was also rare. After all, in Xie Shuyun’s memory, Cheng Lingxue was either reading or doing practice problems. She couldn’t suppress her curiosity and glanced over.
It seemed like Cheng Lingxue was chatting with someone.
Cheng—
Before she could see clearly, Cheng Lingxue’s gaze swept over. Her hand turned slightly, flipping the phone screen down onto the table, giving Xie Shuyun no chance to peek.
Then she interlaced her fingers and rested them under her chin. Unexpectedly, she revealed a slight smile toward Xie Shuyun.
“What took you so long?”
“Sorry, I had something to deal with just now…”
“The child has already gotten impatient from hunger.”
Xie Shuyun: orz…
When will this matter finally pass…!
