Chapter 55 – The Inferior Omega is Forcibly Loved by the Superior Alpha 6
Monday morning, at Yuesi University.
“Have you guys heard? Ji Mian, who got in with a perfect score, was actually a substitute!”
“Hah, that bastard is always so arrogant. I really thought he was something special, but it turns out he’s just a good-for-nothing who stole someone else’s nest.”
“He skips class and never does his projects. I thought he was a genius who could get full marks without studying. The result is just hilarious—he failed everything!”
“I was wondering how a top student could suddenly become a failure. So it was a case of the civet cat for prince switch!”
“That kid must have ulterior motives. He probably came to Yuesi University not to study, but to hook a rich man.”
“His standards are sky-high. He looks down on ordinary nobles. Isn’t he already hooked up with Viscount Wei?”
“That bitch failed his classes, maybe it’s because he spent all his energy seducing men.”
***
On campus, everyone was buzzing about the rumor of Yuesi University swapping a top student for a failure.
The crowd pointed fingers at Ji Mian as he passed by.
He was so ashamed he wished he could bury his head in his chest.
Damn that Duke! If he hadn’t interfered, Wei Yichen would be by his side right now, and he wouldn’t have to endure everyone’s cold stares.
No, no, the one who deserved to die was that bastard Ji Shuangyu. This must have been his doing. Just wait, he would get his revenge!
At ten in the morning, all the teachers and students of the university gathered in the grand auditorium, which was only used for the opening ceremony.
The principal had already been dismissed and was under investigation for accepting bribes. The acting vice-principal was the first to take the stage to offer an apology.
“After investigation and verification, the online reports about student Ji Mian being a substitute are indeed true. On behalf of the university, I apologize to all students, and also to the student who was replaced, Ji Shuangyu.
A university is a sacred place and should not become a commodity for personal gain. I strongly condemn any instructor who disregards a student’s future for their own interests. We will strengthen our management in this area to ensure such a tragedy never happens again.
The university has decided to restore student Ji Shuangyu’s enrollment status, waive all tuition and fees, and grant him a generous scholarship. Student Ji Mian will receive a major demerit and must make a public apology!”
As his voice fell, the hall erupted in an uproar.
The students were indignant. Ji Shuangyu deserved compensation, so there was no problem with that part of the decision.
But why should that good-for-nothing Ji Mian be allowed to stay at their university!
The vice-principal let the students boo and jeer, pretending not to hear as he stepped down and gestured for Ji Mian to come on stage to apologize.
He knew this resolution would cause public dissatisfaction.
But the Duke himself had spoken. As a mere vice-principal, he didn’t dare to disobey.
Dressed all in white, his face even paler than his clothes, Ji Mian went on stage with red-rimmed eyes.
The moment the crowd saw him, the booing grew louder.
He wept pitifully and bowed to the audience in apology. “I am sorry to the university, to my parents, and to the public. I have had a negative impact on society, and I am ashamed of my actions.
At the same time, I thank the university for giving me another chance. I will definitely turn over a new leaf and not disappoint the university’s expectations. I hope everyone will supervise and urge me to correct my ways. Thank you all…”
When he finished, the hall was not filled with applause, but with even louder boos and the international gesture of friendship—the middle finger.
This scene was broadcast far and wide by drones.
This time, Ji Mian had thoroughly disgraced himself.
[Ding, Vicious Ghost’s resentment -10. Current resentment: 90.]
In Shuang Yu’s mind, Xiao Ai’s resentment notification sounded.
Wei Yichen, trapped at home, watched Ji Mian’s trembling body on the screen, his heart aching with pity.
Although his father had pulled strings to allow Ji Mian to continue studying at Yuesi University, he had firmly forbidden him from accompanying Ji Mian in order to protect the family’s reputation.
The thought of Ji Mian having to endure the pointing fingers of others filled him with guilt.
Unable to erase this guilt, he could only compensate Ji Mian by treating him even better in the future.
As one of the parties involved, Shuang Yu did not go on stage to speak. Instead, he stood quietly in a corner and listened to the entire proceeding.
He left the auditorium before the assembly ended and went to the academic affairs office to handle his transfer procedures.
But everyone now remembered the name Ji Shuangyu.
They couldn’t wait to see what the person who had been oppressed by his uncle’s family, who was just a beta, but whose entrance exam scores had crushed a host of Alphas, actually looked like.
“Student Ji, the school is temporarily out of single rooms. Would a three-person room be acceptable? Don’t worry, although it’s not a single room, your privacy is guaranteed.
Apart from the shared living room and kitchen, each of you has your own room. The rooms are very large, even more luxurious than the single rooms. Not just anyone can live in that dormitory; it’s reserved for the nobles!”
The director of the academic affairs office asked for Shuang Yu’s opinion with a placating smile.
Shuang Yu frowned. He didn’t want to live with other people.
“We know it’s difficult for you, but your enrollment timing is off, and all the dorms are full right now. How about this: if you’re willing to move in, the school will not only waive your accommodation fees but also cover all your meal expenses. Plus, we’ll add another one hundred thousand to your scholarship!”
Seeing his displeasure, the director had no choice but to pull out his trump card.
Shuang Yu had no money to rent a place off-campus, and the compensation offered by the school was nothing short of a godsend.
But when something seems too good to be true, it usually is. He felt that the other party was plotting something.
Otherwise, why would they offer him such great benefits, not only upgrading his room for free but also giving him an extra hundred thousand!
Though they called it a scholarship, it was essentially compensation money. The sum of 3.1 million was enough for him to arrange for Zuo Fei’s care in the short term.
He had no reason to refuse.
Although he couldn’t figure out what the school was planning, he wasn’t afraid either.
He would simply deal with whatever came his way.
“I-I don’t h-have a problem with it, b-but I need the m-money urgently. Can you d-deposit it into my account first?”
After a moment’s thought, Shuang Yu nodded in agreement.
“No problem, I’ll have the finance office transfer the money immediately. I’ll personally take you to the dormitory later!”
Half an hour later, under the guidance of the director of academic affairs, Shuang Yu headed to the legendary high-end dormitory.
As one of the top universities in C Country, Yuesi University boasted top-tier faculty, facilities, and equipment.
Many nobles studied at this school.
The dormitory area was also divided into ordinary and noble sections.
The ordinary dorms were in elevator buildings, while the noble dorms were small, single-story villas.
“Currently, there’s only one student living in the dorm, but due to his status, he has already started his social practicum and only comes to school occasionally.
The other person is a transfer student who hasn’t enrolled yet, and the chances of him staying in the dorm are low. So you don’t have to worry too much. Although it’s a three-person dorm, it will most likely be just you using it!”
The director had Shuang Yu enter his fingerprint into the keypad lock and, fearing his anxiety, explained the situation.
“I-I understand. Thank you, Director. S-Sorry for the trouble.”
Shuang Yu couldn’t care less who his roommates were. As long as they didn’t bother him, he would mind his own business.
