The results of the final exam were announced soon. Sheng Zhuo was still the first in class, and Chi Le was ranked 23rd in the class, two places ahead from the last time. There was not much difference, and the results were still comparable.
Chi Jindong has always spoiled Chi Le and basically has no demands on him, he only hopes that he can grow up safely and healthily, as for his grades, Chi Jindong doesn’t care at all.
Chi Le’s mother is an omega named Bai Man, and Chi Jindong and her were childhood sweethearts. After she died of illness, Chi Jindong never thought of marrying another.
Chi Le is the only son of Chi Jindong in his life. He usually has nothing to do, so he keeps earning money. Anyway, he has saved his family fortune for Chi Le. When it comes to it, he just wants to see Chi Le live a happy life, and after he dies, he will be buried with Bai Man, ensuring that he fulfilled his responsibility to his wife.
Therefore, after he learned about Chi Le’s grades, instead of reprimanding him, he praised Chi Le for improving by two places and even took Chi Le to a restaurant for a nice meal, calling it a celebration. This left Chi Le feeling both amused and touched, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
When winter vacation started, Chi Jindong took Chi Le with him for three days. On the fourth day, Chi Jindong personally sent Chi Le to the winter camp.
He was a little surprised when he first found out that Chi Le was going to participate in the winter camp, but he has always been responsive to Chi Le and agreed after checking the Tengfei Winter Camp and knowing that it was a formal institution.
When Chi Le arrived at the place, he took the suitcase out of the car by himself, then turned around and waved to Chi Jindong. Chi Jindong knew that his son was getting older and didn’t want him to interfere, so he smiled and drove away.
The weather is fine today, the sky is exceptionally blue, there is a bus parked by the side of the road, and Sheng Zhuo is standing beside the bus with his hands in his pockets, holding a lollipop in his mouth, which was stuffed in his pocket by Chi Le on the day of winter vacation.
Chi Le grabbed the suitcase, ran over excitedly, bumped him with his body, and when he turned around, he held his leg and called, “Ouch, my leg is injured.”
Sheng Zhuo turned to look at him, and asked with a smile in his eyes, “Then what can be done?”
Chi Le blinked, “You’re the one who bumped into me, so you’re responsible.”
“How should I take responsibility? Should I find a doctor to give you a couple of shots?” Sheng Zhuo continued to ask with a smile.
“No need for that much trouble.” Chi Le smiled and handed over the luggage. “Just help me carry the suitcase.”
Chen Yunzhou stuck his head out of the window and exaggeratedly shouted, “Are all the scammers this obvious nowadays?”
Fang Younian popped his head out from beside him and, seeing Chi Le and the suitcase next to him, widened his eyes and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Of course, I’m here to participate in the winter camp,” Chi Le replied, knowing that Fang Younian didn’t like him. He intentionally laid his hand on Fang Younian’s shoulder and smiled brightly, asking, “Surprised or not? Unexpected, isn’t it? For the next half month, you’ll see me every day.”
Fang Younian retracted his head with a dark face, closed the window, and went directly out of sight.
Chile thinks this person is really naive, unlike him who is a good boy who knows how to unite and be friendly.
Sheng Zhuo helped Chi Le carry the suitcase to the bus, and Chi Le followed behind him bouncing up, his legs were no longer hurt, and he was more flexible than usual.
Fang Younian looked at him contemptuously and turned away silently. Chen Yunzhou looked at Sheng Zhuo with schadenfreude1feeling pleasure from someone’s pain. He had never seen anyone who could fool Sheng Zhuo, let alone Sheng Zhuo who knew he was cheated and was willing to be fooled. This is a rare thing, and he has to have a good look.
There were already a lot of people in the bus, both men and women. Everyone was a little excited when they saw two handsome guys with such good looks coming up. A naughty male Omega even blew a whistle.
Chi Le was in a good mood, and raised his chin with a smile.
Sheng Zhuo glanced at the boy, let Chi Le sit inside, and put the suitcase away. He sat down next to him unhurriedly, firmly blocking the sight of others.
Fang Younian and Chen Yunzhou sat behind them. Fang Younian kept his face dark the whole time, trying to express his anger to Sheng Zhuo, but Sheng Zhuo didn’t even turn his head, so he could only sigh silently.
When everyone arrived, the person in charge walked into the bus with the teaching assistant. Fang Younian looked up and saw Jian Cheng wearing the teaching assistant’s uniform and following behind, his face darkened again. Needless to say, it was ugly.
Sheng Zhuo had heard from Chi Le about the process of registration and knew that Jian Cheng was the teaching assistant for this event, so he was not too surprised, but Chen Yunzhou was very surprised by this and waved to Jian Cheng excitedly.
The bus drove out slowly, the scenery along the road was beautiful, the heater was turned on in the bus, and the air was warm and fluffy. Chi Le got up early today, and was wearing a soft down jacket, feeling very comfortable, so he fell asleep after a while.
He leaned on the seat, his head swayed with the car, knocked against the glass window for a while, and hit the back of the seat for a while, he frowned in his sleep, and suddenly felt a big hand push his head aside, he leaned on a broad shoulder.
He moved slightly, found a comfortable position, and smelled a sweet smell in his nostrils, similar to the smell of lollipops.
Before he had time to think about what it was, he quickly fell asleep, leaning on the shoulder next to him, and fell into a sweet dream.
Sunlight half-illuminated the area as Sheng Zhuo turned his head to gaze at Chi Le’s sleeping face, smiling gently.
Behind them, Fang Younian felt like he must be blind, as he couldn’t bear to look any longer.
An hour and a half later, the bus drove to the accommodation and stopped.
Chi Le fell into a drowsy sleep, and when he woke up, he was not embarrassed to find himself lying on Sheng Zhuo’s shoulders. He smiled at Sheng Zhuo, sat up straight, stretched his body, and got out of the bus with everyone.
The accommodation environment is very good. It is a small villa with two floors. Jian Cheng took seven people out of the bus, and the person in charge continued to take the others to the small villa next to him. The car drove away quickly.
Fang Younian stood on the open space in front of the villa, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked at Jian Cheng displeasedly, “Why are you alone?”
Jian Cheng ignored his provocative eyes, and smiled at everyone, “Our winter camp is divided into four groups, with fifteen people in each group, and five teaching assistants in total. Another teaching assistant is in charge of your daily life. He had something to do and he hasn’t come yet. I will take you to divide the room first. In the future, you can come to me if you have small matters. If you have major matters, you can also come to me. I will help you find the general manager.”
Everyone nodded after understanding. Seeing that Jian Cheng looked kind and was about the same age as everyone, they trusted him a little more and started talking to him one after another.
Jian Cheng led everyone into the villa, Fang Younian was the last one and reluctantly followed in. Jian Cheng read the list and handed out keys to everyone.
“Li Dongming, Chen Yunzhou, you are in the same room… Zhou Lu, Shen Ziyue…” Jian Cheng looked up, “Chi Le, Sheng Zhuo…”
Chi Le was taken aback for a moment, and his heart beat twice.
He and Sheng Zhuo are going to stay together so soon? Will it be too fast?
When Fang Younian heard the names of Chi Le and Sheng Zhuo, he immediately said dissatisfied: “Why do they stay together?”
Jian Cheng slightly lifted his eyelids, his voice was flat, “Because they are both men and Betas.”
It was only then that Chi Le remembered that he and Sheng Zhuo had the same attributes as him now, so it was right to stay together.
He breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to pick up the key, glanced at Fang Younian triumphantly, returned to stand beside Sheng Zhuo, and asked in a low voice, “Do you mind staying with me?”
Sheng Zhuo shook his head, curling his lips into a smile.
Fang Younian stared at the two of them, his chest heaving with anger.
Chi Le looked at Fang Younian suspiciously, and whispered to Sheng Zhuo in a low voice: “Could Fang Younian have a crush on you? Otherwise, why is he so angry when you are staying with me?”
There are only a few people here, even if Chi Le lowered his voice, Fang Younian could still hear them clearly.
He was so angry that he vented his nostrils, and just about to open his mouth to argue, Sheng Zhuo looked up at him, “Look at me less, it’s easy for people to misunderstand.”
“…” Fang Younian turned his back in anger and suddenly felt like the ‘dross’2means waste/worthless/useless things that Sheng Zhuo despised.
Chi Le has a cousin who is a fan of celebrities and idols. Chi Le has heard her talk about the fandom culture and finds Fang Younian’s behavior quite familiar. “Is his behavior what they call being a toxic fan?”
Sheng Zhuo: “…”
Chen Yunzhou couldn’t stop laughing beside him, but fortunately, Fang Younian didn’t hear it this time.
Jian Cheng quickly finished reading the names on the roster. There are two people in each room, which happens to be divided into three rooms. Only Fang Younian has not been allocated a room yet.
“What about me?” Fang Younian waited for a long time without hearing his name, suspecting that Jian Cheng deliberately left him behind, and pointed at himself angrily.
Jian Cheng closed the booklet and smiled at him, “You stay in the room near the door on the first floor.”
“I’ll be alone?”
“No.” Jian Cheng continued to smile, took a breath, and said, “You’ll stay with me.”
“…Why?” Fang Younian’s voice was irritated, and he refused without thinking, “I don’t want to stay with you!”
“There are only two male Alpha’s in Class A, you and I. There are only so many bedrooms in the whole villa, the rest are all activity rooms, who else can you stay with if not me?” Jian Cheng inwardly criticized the decision, thinking to himself, does he really want to live with Fang Younian? If given the choice, he’d rather live alone. But since the person in charge has decided to allocate the accommodations this way, there’s nothing he can do about it.
Fang Younian frowned, but he didn’t insist anymore. Since he can’t choose his roommate, he wanted to choose a room instead. “I don’t want to stay in this room, the first floor is too damp! I want to stay on the second floor.” Fang Younian complained to Jian Cheng.
“Why are you so squeamish as an Alpha?” Jian Cheng glanced at him impatiently, and made a final decision, “Alphas and Omegas need to be separated, boys and girls also need to be separated, this is the most reasonable distribution method planned in advance. It cannot be changed easily, and it is appropriate for us to live by the door, as Alphas have a responsibility to protect others, so we stay here.”
Fang Younian has lived such a long life, and he has never been described as ‘squeamish’ by anyone. He gasped for breath, his face changed again and again, and finally he gave Jian Cheng a hard look, and took the lead to go to the room with his suitcase up.
Jian Cheng’s opinion of Fang Younian had slightly improved. He had heard from Chi Le that this organization belonged to Fang Younian’s brother. Initially, Jian Cheng thought Fang Younian would call his brother and request a room change or even have him dismiss Jian Cheng as the teaching assistant. However, to his surprise, Fang Younian didn’t use his ‘privilege’ at all. He would rather keep his frustrations to himself than approach his brother.
