Chapter 15

Xu Yunchun must be superhuman. Everyday, he goes to class, completes his assignments, joins Fake Wei Xiu in his classes, and he treats every single one of his own classmates, Fake Wei Xiu’s classmates, coworkers and all other people who have any relation to the alpha to coffee. On top of all that, he’s keeping an eye on Shen Xi to ensure he makes no sudden advancements in the original plotline. Xu Yunchun is indeed busy.  

On his side of things, Fake Wei Xiu is swamped with a sudden increase in workload.

He doesn’t get what’s been going on this year. All the alphas around him are suddenly going into their ruts. Out of nowhere, the other alpha in his group project goes into a rut and the whole report is left for him to write. Then, an alpha coworker goes into a rut and all the work is pushed onto him. Fake Wei Xiu,  a powerful CEO in the making, has been forced into the 9-to-5 overtime grind.

The strange thing is, because all the alphas are out of commission, all of the responsibilities fall onto his shoulders. But every single omega around him has pheromones as stable as can be, and heats as regular as clockwork. It’s been awhile since he witnessed any unprecedented heats or sudden pregnancy leaves from school.

As for himself, his own pheromones have been quite stable as well. On one hand, it’s comforting, on the other hand, he can’t help but worry.

Could it…

Could it… really be that he’s an omega?

–

But, it turns out that Xu Yunchun had underestimated the vitality of an S-Rank alpha.

After not even two weeks, Fake Wei Xiu grew accustomed to this high-pressure lifestyle. And, as is instinctive to any Haitang alpha, he started itching for some trouble.

He gives He Yan a call to come out and have some fun, but he’s not sure what’s been up with him lately. For the past two days, he hasn’t picked up the phone. Fake Wei Xiu is extremely bored. He decides to go back to the nightclub from the other day to see what’s up with that cat-eyed omega He Yan mentioned.

Xu Yunchun hears about this and becomes very nervous. What should he do?

Poison him? Capture him? Break his legs?

Then, he has an idea.

–

Just as Fake Wei Xiu finishes changing and is about to walk out the door, Xu Yunchun enters his room.

Without a word, Xu Yunchun stares at Fake Wei Xiu’s upper body.

…uh, little beta, have you been wanting for too long? You’re going cross-eyed over there!

Fake Wei Xiu: “What’re staring at? You like what you see?”

Xu Yunchun: “Nothing, it’s just…I noticed you got fat.”

Fake Wei Xiu: “???”

Xu Yunchun: “You hadn’t realized? Even your abs aren’t visible anymore?”

Fake Wei Xiu: “?????”

Xu Yunchun: “With you looking like this, young master, will there be any omega who will desire you?

Fake Wei Xiu: “!!!”

Fake Wei Xiu rushed to the mirror to look at himself. Fat? Is he really fat? The muscle definition does seem to have lightened a bit … 

Could it be that he, an S-Rank alpha who’s had 8-pack abs since the day he was born, is fat!?

For Fake Wei Xiu, this is a slap in the face.

So, as a result of Xu Yunchun’s criticism, every day after all his work was done, Fake Wei Xiu would hit the gym religiously, not allowing even one day of rest.
