Chapter 27

He could solve a second-order Rubik's Cube with just a few casual twists. Seeing this, Yun Shang gave him a third-order one to play with. Su Yu could barely manage it too, though it took him much longer. Su Yu and Yun Shang played downstairs until after nine before going upstairs. Even though it was already past ten by the time he finished tidying up, he still did not forget to log in.

Not long after he started playing, Su Wang began sending him messages and repeatedly invited him to form a team.

[Su Wang: Finally caught you online. Hurry up and accept.]

[Su Wang: Turn on your mic, turn on your mic. Explain yourself properly.]

[Su Wang: Hey, at least respond. I didn't even provoke you.]

[Su Wang: Don't tell me you feel inferior because my little brother is too outstanding?]

"..."

Su Yu looked at the lines of text speechlessly. Sure enough, anything an annoying person said was annoying. It was like his brain had been eaten; he sounded like a complete idiot and always talked to people in an ordering tone.

Could he tolerate that?

Of course not!

Since he had an alt account and could curse him out, then of course he had to. Back when he streamed, he had never lacked for online arguments. Su Yu immediately typed a reply.

[Su Yu: I feel inferior, my ass.]

The game system censored his profanity, which somewhat hindered his performance.

[Su Wang: See? You got embarrassed and angry. You're even swearing.]

[Su Yu: Are you fucking stupid?]

[Su Wang: Is your brain fucked up? Why did you delete my WeChat? Add me back so I can delete you.]

Su Wang's appallingly awful attitude had to be because no one had ever taught him how to behave in his entire life.

[Su Wang: Why aren't you talking again? You're seriously so weird. Did you eat firecrackers or something?]

[Su Yu: Yeah, yeah, yeah. If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do.]

[Su Wang: Do you have a fucking problem?]

[Su Yu: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm giving you a chance now—hurry up and delete me from your game friends list. I don't even have enough friend slots.]

Perhaps that sentence fiercely triggered Su Wang's rebellious streak. He replied: I'm not deleting you. I'm going to take up one of your friend slots. What can you do about it?

Su Yu could not be bothered with him and logged off directly. He did not care whether Su Wang deleted him or not; he had not planned to delete him anyway. If he ran into that idiot Su Wang in real life later, he would just log in and vent at him online.

You piss me off in real life, and I take it out on you online.

Su Wang waited in front of the screen for over ten seconds. The other party still had not replied. When he opened his friends list, he saw that the person who had just been arguing with him had already gone offline.

"He must've gotten mad."

Thinking that, Su Wang felt that he had won back a round, and his mood improved slightly.

"Who got mad?"

The person who entered was Su Tinghuai. The moment Su Wang saw him, he immediately shut his laptop and said nonchalantly, "No one."

When Su Tinghuai came in, he had heard Su Wang's laptop fan running unusually loudly. Now Su Wang was hurriedly closing it, so he asked, "Playing games again?"

"No, I was just doing homework."

Some time ago, Su Wang had been spending money at an alarming rate. After checking, Su Tinghuai discovered that he had put most of it into games and had even tipped game streamers online.

He had long been used to how extravagantly Su Wang spent, because Su Wang had never had any concept of money since childhood. If he saw something he liked, he bought it. What Su Tinghuai cared about more was whether Su Wang had been scammed.

Seeing that Su Tinghuai said nothing, Su Wang hurriedly asked, "Big Brother, do you need to work? Then I'll leave."

He had thought Su Tinghuai would not be coming back today, which was why he had brought his computer to the study to play. If he had known Su Tinghuai would return, he would have stayed obediently in his room.

After saying that, Su Wang planned to carry his computer away, but Su Tinghuai reached out and pressed down on the laptop, asking, "Why haven't you been playing games with that person lately?"

For a moment, Su Wang did not realize Su Tinghuai was trying to get information out of him and answered instinctively, "How am I supposed to play games with him when he deleted me?"

Su Tinghuai's brows furrowed slightly.

What?

He had been deleted, yet he still wanted to play games with that person?

Should he say Su Wang was thoughtless, or that there was something wrong with his brain?

"Hey, Big Brother, help me see if this person is sick."

Eager to gain someone else's agreement, Su Wang showed Su Tinghuai the chat records between himself and Su Yu from the past two days without thinking. He even opened his computer. The game screen was still on his conversation with Su Yu, and he had completely forgotten that he had just lied to Su Tinghuai about doing homework.

After looking through the WeChat chat records and then the game records, Su Tinghuai could only come to one conclusion: Su Wang was being completely manipulated by the other party.

"Big Brother, analyze it for me. What the hell is wrong with him?"

"An Omega?"

Su Wang nodded.

"The streamer?"

He nodded again.

Su Tinghuai scrolled further up through the chat records. He found that this Omega did not talk to people as deliberately as he had imagined. On the contrary, the other party spoke very casually and sometimes did not pay much attention to Su Wang at all.

So Su Wang was entirely willing.

"Right. If you hadn't asked, I would've forgotten he was an Omega. You might not know much about this. I'll show it to Huihui—maybe he'll know."

As soon as he said that, he received a cold glare from his big brother. Su Tinghuai's expression had already turned rather unpleasant. "Since he deleted you, why are you still provoking him?"

Su Wang could not answer for a moment.

"Among so many game streamers, why did you have to add him?"

"I saw that he and Huihui were born in the same year and month, so I felt inexplicably close to him. And the way he talks is pretty interesting, like..." Su Wang thought for a while, racking his brains, before suddenly coming up with a very fitting description. "Interesting in a brainstem-missing kind of way."

After saying that, he even affirmed himself with a "Right."

Su Tinghuai handed the phone back to him. "How interesting? Send me his stream."

"Sure. I'll call you next time he streams."

Su Yu, who had just finished showering, sneezed twice and wondered who was cursing him behind his back.

Su Yu checked the time. It was already past eleven at night. Gu Lin should be asleep by now. If he went downstairs to get something to eat, he probably would not run into him, right?

Back when he lived in his own apartment, his refrigerator had always been stuffed full. Now he was living so pathetically that he even had to check whether Gu Lin was around before eating snacks.

However, he had miscalculated. Gu Lin really had insomnia because of that cup of coffee.

Even though he had closed his eyes early, his mind was still awake. He planned to sit in the study for a while, but the moment he opened the door, he saw the Omega thundering up from downstairs.

The Omega was biting into an ice pop and running upstairs with his arms full of snacks. The moment he saw Gu Lin, he abruptly stopped and froze in place.

Gu Lin: "?"

Su Yu: "!"

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

The next second, Gu Lin was struck directly in the soul by that uncivilized inner monologue and became even more awake.

The Alpha decided that if he could not sleep, then Su Yu would not be spending the night comfortably either.
