Seduced the Obsessive NPC and Ran - Chapter 69

Chapter 69

Ying Cheng was chatting animatedly with his classmates in the AO Secret Group when he received Tan Yuxuan’s text message. After someone returned to the classroom and found Yan Jinge and Bai Cheng eating together, they had secretly snapped a photo and posted it in the group. Everyone was instantly excited, feeling that there was even more evidence proving these two were involved with each other.

As the conversation progressed, they had even decided on names for Yan Jinge and Bai Cheng’s children after they got married.

“What is this guy texting me for?” Ying Cheng muttered.

He opened the message and found it was very brief.

Tan Yuxuan: “Tell Jinge to come find me here.” Right after was an address. Looking closely, it was some kind of club.

Ying Cheng rolled his eyes hard.

As if they didn’t know Tan Yuxuan’s usual attitude toward Yan Jinge. Anyone with eyes could see what had been going on between Yan Jinge and Bai Cheng these past few days. Tan Yuxuan had probably heard the news from somewhere and was getting anxious, right?

Heh.

Anxious now? Where was this energy before?

Strictly speaking, Yan Jinge had the right to know, and Ying Cheng should have passed the message along to let Yan Jinge decide for himself whether to go. However, Ying Cheng overthought it. He was afraid that if the two got in touch, Yan Jinge might be swayed by a few words from Tan Yuxuan, go soft-hearted, and forgive the scumbag once again. He simply took it upon himself to pretend he hadn’t seen the text, blacklisted Tan Yuxuan in one smooth motion, and went back to happily lurking in the chat group.

On the other side.

Tan Yuxuan grew increasingly uneasy when he didn’t receive a reply from Ying Cheng. He decided to call him, only to hear a busy signal.

His heart went cold.

At a time like this, worrying about so-called “face” was a bit too idealistic. Tan Yuxuan hurriedly switched to another person to contact, but in his heart, he already hated Ying Cheng.

That guy was definitely doing it on purpose!

Then, Tan Yuxuan realized he hadn’t seen Yan Jinge around lately. He frowned, adding another count to Yan Jinge’s list of offenses.

-Ying Cheng ignoring him must have been at Yan Jinge’s behest.

He hadn’t even offended Ying Cheng.

However, it seemed he really should pay attention to why Yan Jinge had suddenly stopped hanging around him.

With a gloomy expression, Tan Yuxuan was led back to the private room by Yuan He as if he were under guard. Before the classmates he called arrived, he could only follow through on his previous promise and begin discussing how to set up the dessert table with Yuan He and the others.

It was stifling.

“Did you hear? Tan Yuxuan is going to confess to our School Belle.”

“Really?”

“Why would I lie to you? I heard it from a buddy. I just don’t know how *that* person will react once this comes out… Hey, look, stop talking.”

Subjects like P.E. for seniors were usually taken over by teachers of other subjects, but Deshi High School believed that a student’s physical health was also important, so they still retained many programs.

Yan Jinge was on his way to swimming class when he encountered two people walking toward him, whispering to each other.

When the two looked up and saw Yan Jinge, they immediately shut their mouths and looked away, appearing quite guilty.

Yan Jinge only vaguely heard them mention someone confessing to the School Belle, but since it had nothing to do with him, he didn’t pay much attention.

Just then, Ying Cheng came up from behind, draped an arm over his shoulder, and winked. “Jinge, let’s go to the locker room together and help each other change.”

Yan Jinge laughed and gave him a shove. “Stop messing around.”

The two joked around for a bit.

“Where’s Bai Cheng?” Ying Cheng asked.

After spending the last couple of days together, Ying Cheng and the others had figured it out-basically, wherever Yan Jinge was, Bai Cheng was there too. It was quite rare today that the two weren’t together.

Yan Jinge replied, “Someone asked him to play ball during the break, so he went out. He said he’d be back when class starts.”

“Oh,” Ying Cheng responded, thinking to himself: *Look at that. The former school delinquent used to play ball whether it was during class or break, but now he only goes during the break.*

He said with a grin, “Want to race a few laps during free time later? Let’s see if your butterfly stroke has gotten rusty.”

“Sure.”

As they spoke, they walked toward the locker room.

On the other side.

Bai Cheng threw the ball to a teammate, pulled out a wet wipe to slowly clean himself, and started walking briskly toward the classroom. Suddenly, a cute-looking Omega blocked his path.

Bai Cheng didn’t spare the Omega many glances. Instead, he looked past him and immediately saw Yan Jinge and Ying Cheng walking together in the teaching building corridor.

He didn’t know what they were saying, but Ying Cheng’s hand was draped over Yan Jinge’s shoulder.

They were too close.

Frowning, Bai Cheng thought to himself that he would have to find an opportunity to warn Ying Cheng later.

“…Bai Cheng.” Seeing that Bai Cheng was ignoring him, the Omega beside him hurriedly tried to call out to him. There was a pleasant, light scent of lily on him, but the fragrance was a bit too strong for Bai Cheng; he didn’t like it much.

“What?” Bai Cheng’s voice was cold and harsh.

Though he asked, he didn’t stop to listen to the Omega. Instead, he kept walking toward the classroom without pausing.

The Omega froze for a moment before turning to chase after him. However, he wasn’t very tall-barely 170cm-and compared to the nearly 190cm Bai Cheng, their leg spans were completely different. He struggled to keep up. Combined with the hot weather, after just a few steps, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the bridge of his nose, his face flushed pink, and his breathing grew heavier.

Bai Cheng’s footsteps paused as he suddenly said coldly, “You haven’t even used an Inhibitor, and your scent is so strong. What exactly are you looking for me for?”

Guan Zhuo’s face instantly turned even redder.

As the School Belle and an Omega, Guan Zhuo had grown up surrounded by concern and gentle words. He knew Bai Cheng had a bad temper, but he hadn’t expected the other’s tone to be so… full of disgust.
Moreover, Bai Cheng had seen right through her little scheme.

He hadn’t given her any face at all.

“I-I didn’t. I just had a shot on Monday; it hasn’t even been five days…”

Guan Zhuo lowered her head, suddenly feeling a sense of retreat regarding the request she was about to make. Seeing Bai Cheng’s shadow getting further away and the look of impatience on his face growing, she felt a mix of fear and excitement. She blurted out, “It’s like this: tomorrow is Friday, my birthday. Could I invite you to my birthday party…”

“Sure,” Bai Cheng agreed immediately.

He quickened his pace, putting two or three body lengths between him and Guan Zhuo in the blink of an eye.

Guan Zhuo: “???”

Wait.

I wasn’t even finished yet???

…He just agreed like that?

Guan Zhuo stood there, dazed, her footsteps gradually slowing. Watching Bai Cheng’s departing figure, she suddenly realized she hadn’t even told him where the celebration was going to be held…

But whatever, she could tell him when they saw each other again.

As long as he had agreed, it was fine.

Guan Zhuo returned to class in high spirits.

Bai Cheng sped up, catching Yan Jinge and Ying Cheng before they could enter the locker room.

He reached out and draped an arm over Yan Jinge’s shoulder, forcibly pulling him a bit closer and away from Ying Cheng. With a slight smirk, he fixed his gaze on Ying Cheng and asked, “You’re quite close with my deskmate, aren’t you? You even want to change clothes together?”

Ying Cheng: “…”

Why did that sound so sour?

And was there a hint of a threat in there??

Yan Jinge followed up immediately: “Don’t touch me. I’m covered in sweat.”

Ying Cheng: “!!!”

Ying Cheng felt his heart tighten. He turned his head to check Bai Cheng’s expression, fearing he might blow up because of what Yan Jinge said. To his surprise, Bai Cheng let go in the next second and said, “Then I’ll go take a shower first.”

Yan Jinge: “Mm.”

Just as Bai Cheng was about to head inside, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Ying Cheng.

Ying Cheng: “…”

What does that look mean!!! Why are you suddenly looking at me like that!!!

Yan Jinge pursed his lips. “…Alright, go shower already.”

Watching Bai Cheng’s guarded posture toward Ying Cheng and Ying Cheng’s shocked expression, a hint of a smile touched Yan Jinge’s eyes. He felt that Bai Cheng was a very contradictory person; sometimes he was exceptionally mature, not looking like a high school student at all, and other times he was incredibly childish, as if he had just graduated from kindergarten.

Male possessiveness was usually strong; it was only natural for Bai Cheng to act this way.

Changing was relatively simple for the boys.

Yan Jinge changed into his swim trunks in a stall. When he came out, his classmates were huddled together, teasing each other.

“I remember your belly wasn’t this big before, hahaha!”

“Bullshit, I still have abs, okay?”

“Abs you have to force out by sucking in your gut don’t count as abs, thanks.”

“Sigh, blame my mom. She’s been nagging lately about how I’m in my senior year and need to study hard, saying I can’t let my brain lack nutrients. She keeps putting all kinds of delicacies on the table…”

Yan Jinge had a lean build and didn’t have much in the way of abs, but he was exceptionally fair. His skin was so white it seemed to glow, making him the most conspicuous person standing among the group of boys.

However, everyone only gave him a few glances; no one teased him.

Omegas were naturally more delicate-that was a matter of innate biology. Furthermore, their class had a typical gender imbalance with very few Omegas, so they were meant to be looked after.

“Jinge, it’s too stuffy in here. Let’s get out.”

Ying Cheng, who possessed a similarly pale and slender build, gave a light cough and pulled Yan Jinge away.

In this day and age, because of the existence of universal Inhibitors, there wasn’t much need for special avoidance between Alphas and Omegas. Normal social interaction was fine, especially since almost everything involved private stalls now.

But that environment just now was indeed not a place where a pure little Omega like Yan Jinge should linger.

The moment they stepped out of the locker room, Ying Cheng instinctively wanted to ask if Yan Jinge had topped up his Inhibitor in the stall. But remembering that Yan Jinge hadn’t made a single mistake in the past two years, he figured he didn’t need to meddle.

Ying Cheng bounded toward the pool with joyful excitement.

Yan Jinge trailed a few steps behind and bought three bottles of water from a vending machine.

He lined the three bottles up, picked up the one on the left to take two sips, and sat by the edge of the pool to wait.

Before long, Bai Cheng arrived.

The swimming lessons for the different classes were usually separate, so this was the first time the students of Class Three had seen Bai Cheng like this. Their gazes couldn’t help but drift over.

Bai Cheng truly lived up to his reputation as the school’s delinquent Alpha.

He was already tall, standing out like a crane among a flock of chickens in Class Three. Now that his clothes were off, showing his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and perfectly lined-up abs, the sight of his mermaid line made many people’s eyes go wide.

It wasn’t about desire; it was pure envy and jealousy. Some even wanted to go up and ask him for his workout routine.

Bai Cheng walked straight toward Yan Jinge and sat down beside him.

Yan Jinge conveniently handed him a bottle of water.

Because they were sitting close, Yan Jinge caught that scent of agarwood again and couldn’t help but turn his head.

Bai Cheng seemed to be like him, wanting a few sips before getting in the water. He had already unscrewed the cap and was tilting his head back to drink, his Adam’s apple bobbing rhythmically-an especially sexy sight.

As Yan Jinge watched, he felt his body getting hotter and hotter.

His head also felt a bit dizzy.

It felt like he was soaking in a hot bath in a room with no ventilation.

This feeling…

Yan Jinge froze, his eyes instinctively darting to the water sitting beside him.

Oh no.

He had been set up!

This water was drugged!
