AOTTFWGB Chapter 24

The music was still playing.

But no one was singing.

Five pairs of eyes looked at Xing Yeze at the same time, and the words “I regret not marking you” were like thunder in the sky, stunning the Five Swordsmen.

The four confidants immediately exchanged glances secretly-

Xiao Budian: A confession? The top student confessed to Boss Huan!

Xiao Yanjing: Is the top student going to take Boss Huan back to do it? I’m a little scared.

Da Pang: The top student is domineering. Even when Boss Huan said he was not interested in Alphas, he still confessed in a cool and domineering way!

Lin Mingrui: The top student’s confession caught me completely off guard. I still feel like… it’s not the right time for something like that.

“!!!” Liang Huan stared blankly at Xing Yeze. His romance quotient deep in the negatives, his brain took several detours before finally grasping the hidden meaning.

Wait a sec—he actually stirred the heart of that cold, Mount Everest of a man?!

Xing Yeze likes him?!

Liang Huan’s heart was filled with a strange feeling similar to sweetness, and his mind flashed through the romantic and majestic scene of him and Xing Yeze holding hands and patrolling the campus.

But gradually, the scene changed to him being suppressed on the bed, and Xing Yeze aggressively invading and conquering him.

He trembled, his eyes were wet, and he tried to resist but failed. He was helpless and weak.

… This tyrant can’t accept it!!!

The sweetness in his chest vanished in an instant. Regret and frustration clouded Liang Huan’s face as he blurted out, “I’m sorry, bro! If I’d known I had a pseudo-differentiation disorder, I never would’ve flirted with you! I seriously wronged you…”

His tone was full of guilt.

“I, Liang Huan, went and stirred someone up, and now I’m not taking responsibility—hell, I’m seriously the worst! I’m not even human! But I just… I really can’t accept you. Go ahead, hit me. However you want, as much as you want, until you feel better. I swear I won’t fight back!”

“…” For the first time, Xing Yeze suspected that he was blind.

Was the joy in Liang Huan’s eyes just now a delusion? Liang Huan really didn’t like him at all?

He wanted to carry Liang Huan and lock him up in a little dark room again… Xing Yeze struggled with his instincts while controlling his facial expressions to make himself look calm.

“What I mean is, if I had temporarily marked you at that time, you would not have gone to find Si Xuanhe, and you would not have encountered such a dangerous thing. Anyway, the influence of the temporary mark will disappear in a few days, so I would have just done you a favor.”

… Damn! Was I just sentimental?

Liang Huan reacted, feeling a little embarrassed and a little disappointed, but more of a sense of relief, “Phew~ So you’re not attracted to me? That’s good, that’s good. I was scared to death.”

The four confidants looked at each other: the top student is really amazing, this storyline scenario has become natural and flawless, and the acting is impeccable.

A gleam of light flashed across Lin Mingrui’s eyes: See? He knew it wasn’t the right time for a confession—the top student was way smarter than him and definitely knew that too. The top student must be deliberately testing Boss Huan, right? Licking the cake at the corner of Boss Huan’s mouth before was probably also a test.

Xing Yeze is indeed testing Liang Huan.

He didn’t solve a single problem that afternoon—handed in a blank physics test. All he could think about was how to get Liang Huan back… damn it.

An Omega as fierce as Liang Huan couldn’t be taken by force alone. To truly claim him, it had to be a blend of strength and subtlety—guiding him step by step, at a pace he could accept, until he was drawn in and held tight.

It seems that I can’t pursue Liang Huan directly now, and I have to hide my thoughts.

Xing Yeze said “mn” lightly, as if responding that he has indeed fallen for Liang Huan.

The atmosphere in the room returned to a relaxed state. Liang Huan ignored the inexplicable loss in his heart, pushed open the door of the room excitedly, and asked the waiter to bring three packs of beer.

“Want to play dice? Just high roll versus low—whoever rolls the lowest drinks.” He turned to Xing Yeze and the others.

“Okay.” Lin Mingrui, Da Pang and Xiao Yanjing loved playing dice and drinking and immediately threw down the microphone and sat over.

At this time, Xiao Budian was still desperately stuffing cake into her mouth.

In order to show her love for cake and prove that she licked the cake at the corner of Boss Huan’s mouth purely for eating cake, she almost ate to death.

“Um… Boss Huan, I’m fine.” Xiao Budian quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue and burped.

She quietly observed Xing Yeze’s expression.

Let’s see, expressionless, unfathomable, but at least he didn’t squint at her dangerously anymore.

All that dieting this month just to play the green tea role—not in vain after all…

The rules for high roll were simple: just add up the points on two dice and compare. As the birthday boy, Liang Huan figured he should go first. He grabbed the dice cup and gave it a vigorous shake.

“Time to fire the first shot—let’s go!” He declared with gusto, flipping the lid—only to be met with two glaring red dots. “Damn! What kind of cursed luck is this?! Are these dice rigged? Are all six sides just ones?!”

Liang Huan had played this game more times than he could count, and even his worst rolls in the past were just a one and a two. At school, he was the school tyrant; in the KTV lounge, he was the dice king—his luck had always been legendary.

“Haha, it’s time for Boss Huan to break his personal record.”

Da Pang was in a gloating mood. He took the dice cup and happened to shake out a one and a two, as if he was against Liang Huan.

“Don’t be afraid, Boss Huan will take the fall for us, so we don’t have to drink! Boss Huan, do you think there is a law of conservation of luck? Today your luck exploded, and your physiology returned to normal, so your luck in playing dice is so bad, haha!”

Liang Huan waved his fist at Da Pang, “What bullshit is the law of conservation of luck? I’m lucky every time.”

Then it was Xing Yeze’s turn to shake the dice—two sixes.

See? Luck really does balance out—love life in shambles, but the top student suddenly turns into a dice master. The four confidants exchanged knowing glances, all silently in sync.

After that, it seemed as if there was really a law of conservation of luck. After eight rounds of shaking, Liang Huan actually lost six rounds.

After drinking the sixth bottle of beer, Liang Huan stretched out his claws to strangle Da Pang’s neck, “You jinxed it, you big crow mouth[mfn]idiom used to jokingly scold someone for saying something that ends up coming true in a bad way[/mfn]!!!”

“Boss Huan! Calm down! Don’t believe in superstition. We are all good people. We should pursue materialism. ‘Crow mouths’ are fake…” Da Pang was so scared that he ran in the room.

Liang Huan was so used to winning at everything that today’s streak of awful luck had him on the verge of losing it completely. True to his competitive nature, he sprang to his feet and launched into a chaotic game of tag with Da Pang—one chasing, the other fleeing around the room.

Da Pang couldn’t run faster than Liang Huan and was finally caught and ‘strangled’.

“Ahhh…” He rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue in cooperation, which made Liang Huan calm down and let him go.

Liang Huan felt a little dizzy after returning to the sofa, probably because he drank six bottles of beer in a row and just ran around in circles, which made things worse.

“What’s wrong? Are you drunk?” Xing Yeze’s eyes had been following Liang Huan. Seeing that Liang Huan’s eyes were a little dazed and his brows were wrinkled, he reached out and gently touched his temple.

Liang Huan’s brows relaxed instantly, “I didn’t expect you to be able to give massages, bro, it’s so comfortable~”

As he spoke, his whole body relaxed. Like a content little kitten, he narrowed his eyes in lazy bliss. Maybe it was the soft haze of alcohol in his gaze, but the naturally upturned corners of his phoenix eyes unconsciously shimmered with allure.

Xing Yeze’s eyes became darker and gloomier, and his voice was tinged with a little hoarseness, “I can massage other places too, do you want to try?”

That husky voice hit too hard—the four confidants immediately whipped out their phones to post on their forum thread:

[Sure enough, the more you restrain, the more lustful! The top student is really too lustful! Can you imagine the campus heartthrob speaking in a husky voice with a serious and restrained face? That contrasting face! and seductive voice! My eyes and ears are pregnant; I’m pregnant with my second child!] While typing, Xiao Budian has to pat her chest from time to time.

[The top student used a seductive voice? I thought only those reckless, no-survival-instinct types would dare try that on him. Come on, I need full intel—what exactly went down?]

[The top student massaged Boss Huan’s head and said that he could massage other places too, tempting Boss Huan to try. What are ‘other places’? Tsk tsk tsk…]

[I have already imagined the top student’s hands… Uh-huh Boss Huan~ Come on, close your eyes with me and imagine this pure and harmonious scene~]

[Hiss——I can’t stand it! May I ask if Boss Huan took the bait?]

[No. [Melancholy.jpg]]

Liang Huan didn’t know Xing Yeze was trying to seduce him, saying, “Nah, forget it—just massage my head. I’m just a bit dizzy. Everywhere else? Full of energy.”

Xing Yeze was not disappointed, and he cleverly exerted force with both hands and let Liang Huan’s head lean on his chest, “Will it be more comfortable lying like this?”

“Yeah.” Liang Huan did not reject such intimacy with Xing Yeze and enjoyed Xing Yeze’s service frankly.

Brother!

[Didn’t take the bait? No problem—I’ve got ten thousand ways to comfort you—Black-hearted top student, quote of the day.] Lin Mingrui typed solemnly into the forum thread.

Liang Huan let Xing Yeze massage for a few minutes and then played dice vigorously again. At this time, he had a gambler’s mentality, and the worse his luck was, the more he wanted to turn over.

As a result, he got himself drunk.

Xing Yeze didn’t stop Liang Huan from drinking. He knew that Liang Huan was in a very good mood and didn’t want to spoil Liang Huan’s mood.

The four confidants consciously handed Liang Huan to Xing Yeze.

Xiao Budian: “Top student, Boss Huan’s house is nearby. Do you remember how to get there? Boss Huan said you sent him there before.”

Xing Yeze nodded and carried Liang Huan on his back effortlessly.

Liang Huan drank too much today and felt dizzy. He was very restless on Xing Yeze’s back. He moved around, and his nose seemed to have its own consciousness and moved towards Xing Yeze’s gland, “It smells so good, it smells like cedar. I want to bite it…”

The rush of heat jolted through Xing Yeze like a lightning bolt. He gritted his teeth and said, “Liang Huan, do you even know who I am?”

“Xing Yeze! Bro, actually I wanted to bite your gland last time in the Internet cafe.”

Xing Yeze was shocked and immediately put Liang Huan down to face him. He saw that Liang Huan was drunk and confused and obviously had no ability to tease him.

So these are his true thoughts when drunk…

Thinking of this, Xing Yeze asked: “Do you want to bite other people’s glands?”

“No, I just want to bite you.”

Xing Yeze’s lips couldn’t help but rise.

“What are you smiling at? Do you want to bite me?” Liang Huan muttered, and in his drunken eyes, he met Xing Yeze’s unusually deep gaze.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he suddenly pushed Xing Yeze away, as if he had a physical rejection of Xing Yeze’s approach, “Stay away from me!”

Xing Yeze: “…” Are these also his true thoughts when drunk?

A/N:

Small theater:

Xing Yeze: “This Boss is driving me insane!”

Alright folks—place your bets. Does Boss Huan actually like the top student or not? Is all this hot-and-cold behavior just plain toxic or what~~
