Chapter 76 – The Inferior Omega is Forcibly Loved by the Superior Alpha 27
In the bathroom, Shuang Yu had already learned to ignore the hickeys on his body. He put on a bathrobe and was about to dry his hair when the doorbell rang. Opening the door, he saw an attendant with a dining cart, smiling politely at him.
“Sir, this is the lunch ordered for you by the gentleman staying with you. Since he didn’t know when you would wake up, he asked us to knock on your door every hour.”
“Thank you.”
Shuang Yu gestured for the attendant to bring the cart in, thinking to himself that the psycho was actually quite considerate. In that respect, he was remarkably similar to Shi Heng.
During their time as dorm mates, Shi Heng’s care for him had been meticulous. Perhaps knowing he was an Omega, he was especially tender with him. He prepared all three of his meals, and if he stayed up late coding or programming, Shi Heng would keep him company no matter how late it got and would even prepare a late-night snack for him. Since Shi Heng moved into the dorm, Shuang Yu had been living the life of a young master, waited on hand and foot, and thoroughly taken care of.
People aren’t made of stone. Although he was a ghost messenger and not technically human, he was still deeply moved. By now, he no longer saw Shi Heng as an outsider. Aside from the psycho’s occasional harassment, his life could be considered peaceful and serene.
Coincidentally, the meal the psycho had ordered for Shuang Yu consisted of all his favorite dishes.
“Strange, how does the damn pervert know what I like to eat? It can’t be another coincidence, can it?”
A flicker of doubt crossed his eyes as he was suddenly reminded of Feng Yan from the last world, who had also grasped his tastes perfectly. “Xiao Ai, what do you think the chances are of me meeting the Great God multiple times in the small worlds?” He was starting to suspect that the psycho might be Feng Yan from the previous world!
[Um, very small. It’s not like it’s an ill-fated relationship, how could you keep running into him? Lord Ghost Messenger, you’re overthinking it. Maybe it’s just your magnetic field, you tend to attract perverts?]
Xiao Ai offered a perfunctory reassurance.
He was probably right… he was likely overthinking things. Shuang Yu shook his head, no longer dwelling on it.
As he was enjoying the delicious food, his phone rang. The call wasn’t from Ji Weiheng, but from Yan Lan. Raising an eyebrow, Shuang Yu answered the phone.
“Xiao Yu, how have you been lately? You haven’t been back in a long time. That child, Mianmian, is out all day, and there’s no one to keep me company at home. Could you come back and have a meal with me?”
Yan Lan’s somewhat stiff voice came through the phone. Heh. That old fool Ji Weiheng was probably afraid he wouldn’t take the bait, so he specifically sent Yan Lan. Shuang Yu raised an eyebrow but didn’t refuse.
“Okay, Auntie, I’ll come back this afternoon.”
After hanging up, Yan Lan let out a sigh of relief and looked timidly at her husband. “Xiao Yu agreed.”
“That bastard is starved for affection. He’s always loved your cooking. You’ll personally cook a couple of your specialty dishes tonight. And for god’s sake, act natural. If you ruin my plan, I’ll whip you to death!”
Ji Weiheng warned her with narrowed eyes. She didn’t dare to object, only nodding timidly before heading to the kitchen.
In the hotel, Shuang Yu snapped his fingers, and a stack of photos appeared in his hand. He placed the photos in a gift box, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. Since the couple was being so enthusiastic, it was only right to give them each a grand gift!
Shuang Yu lazily got up, ready to change and go out.
[Lord Ghost Messenger, since you can use your magical power, why don’t you use it against the damn pervert?]
Xiao Ai suddenly posed a soul-searching question.
Shuang Yu was speechless. He wanted to, but he was also afraid the Great God would find fault with him afterward. A higher rank could crush you. He had no desire to experience being laid off. Besides, his meager magical power might not even work on these great gods. He had failed to erase Feng Yan’s memory in the last world, after all. Compared to magic, his fists might be more effective.
[So the question is, what should you do when you can’t use magic and your fists aren’t strong enough to beat him?]
Xiao Ai asked again.
“What do you think?” Shuang Yu retorted through gritted teeth.
[I dedicate a song of ‘Cold, Cold’ to you, Lord Ghost Messenger! The cold, cold moonlight turns my longing for you into a river…]
Suddenly, cheap-looking firework effects began to bloom in his mind as Xiao Ai’s tone-deaf singing echoed. Without hesitation, he once again threw Xiao Ai into the little black room. Ah, the peace and quiet was so nice.
At six in the afternoon, Shuang Yu arrived at Ji Weiheng’s house on time.
“Xiao Yu, you’re here! Come in, come in. There’s just one more dish, and then we can eat. Have a seat for a moment.”
Yan Lan enthusiastically welcomed him in, took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and knelt down to change them for him.
“There’s no need, Auntie. I can do it myself. This is a gift for you. I worked hard to get it, so please don’t tell Uncle,” Shuang Yu said, declining her service and handing her the gift with a brilliant smile.
He was indifferent towards this woman. Yan Lan had never abused the original owner. She had merely stood by and watched for her own sake. After years of being despised and beaten by her husband due to her Beta status, she had long been psychologically manipulated into having a pleaser personality. Her husband and child were her entire world. Although she felt guilty that Ji Weiheng and Ji Mian disliked the original owner, she would never offend the father and son for an outsider like him.
At this moment, looking at the sincere smile on Shuang Yu’s face, Yan Lan suddenly felt immense guilt. Was she… going to continue making the same mistake? Before, she was a bystander, but now, was she going to become the executioner who harmed him?
“Auntie, did Uncle hit you again?” Shuang Yu asked with a worried expression, noticing that she seemed off.
Having been neglected by her husband and son for so long, no one had shown Yan Lan any concern. His care only made her feel even more guilty.
“Xiao Yu, you… you should go back…”
Yan Lan glanced furtively at the elevator, then anxiously tried to push Shuang Yu out the door.
“Auntie?” Shuang Yu showed a puzzled expression.
“Xiao Yu is here?”
Ji Weiheng’s sinister voice sounded from the top of the stairs. Yan Lan jumped, her face turning pale as she turned around. “Hon-honey.”
“What’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you let me know Xiao Yu was back!”
Ji Weiheng seemed to have guessed what she was trying to do. His face was cold, his eyes filled with warning. Yan Lan swallowed nervously, turned, and ran towards the kitchen. “I-I’ll go check if the last soup is ready.”
“Auntie, your gift,” Shuang Yu reminded her with a smile.
“You shouldn’t have, child. Just coming is enough. The money you earn from your lewd dancing isn’t even enough to cover your father’s medical bills, is it?”
Ji Weiheng sneered. He sounded concerned, but he was actually mocking him.
“I’m not keeping my father in the hospital anymore. I can’t keep troubling you, Uncle,” Shuang Yu said with a faint smile.
“Your stutter?!”
Ji Weiheng looked surprised. Compared to the half-dead man in a vegetative state, he was more concerned about Ji Shuangyu’s condition. After all, he was his best cash cow!
“I don’t know what happened. It just suddenly got better,” Shuang Yu said with a silly smile, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
“It’s good that you don’t stutter. It’ll sound more delightful when you scream…” Ji Weiheng muttered to himself, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. The flaw on the defective product was gone, which meant it would sell for a higher price. He was pleased to see it.
