Zhou Zhou: [Jing-ge investigated the person who initially posted the message, and then traced it further, finding that it was that omega who hired someone to post it. The specific purpose is unknown. He then said that Yan-ge planned to make the omega who seduced him unable to stay at school and forced him to drop out.]
Duan Xu was taken aback: [Yan-ge knows too? He didn't tell me.]
Zhou Zhou: [Sigh, I just didn't want you to see those things, but I couldn't hide it for long. See, you know now, don't you?]
Duan Xu remained silent, about to reply, when Tang Che sat down next to him. "Duan Xu, about what happened on the forum..."
"I know." Duan Xu interrupted him, his face grim for the first time, and his tone harsh. "Yan-ge hasn't done anything to wrong me, please don't talk about him."
Tang Che was taken aback for a moment, then quickly recovered and gave a wry smile, "Okay, it's good that you're alright."
Tang Che got up and left.
Duan Xu didn't look at him, and replied to the message with his head down: [I understand, I'll go ask him.]
Zhou Zhou: [Okay, shall we have lunch together?]
Duan Xu: [Okay, see you at the cafeteria.]
The school bell rang, Duan Xu put away his phone. He had wanted to send a message to Shen Yanlang, but then he thought that Shen Yanlang was probably sleeping and he shouldn't disturb him.
Finally, lunchtime arrived. Duan Xu, Zhou Zhou, and Xiao Xu met in the cafeteria. Zhou Zhou noticed that Duan Xu and asked curiously, "Where's Yan-ge? Why are you alone?"
"He went abroad," Duan Xu.
Zhou Zhou and Xiao Xu were both surprised. They exchanged a glance, and then Zhou Zhou said, "That's unlikely, isn't it? Going abroad at this time feels a bit strange."
Duan Xu frowned upon hearing this. "He said he has some family matters to attend to and needs to go abroad."
Zhou Zhou thought for a moment after hearing this, then hesitated and said, "Oh, then let's get our food first."
The three of them got their food together, and only after sitting down did they start talking about the forum.
"Jing-ge said we need to wait for that omega and see what her purpose is," Zhou Zhou said, taking a bite of white rice.
Xiao Xu nodded in agreement. "But we all suspect her purpose was to make everyone think that Yan-ge and she were already..."
"Bullshit!" Duan Xu cursed. "That day, he only pushed that omega once; he didn't touch her at all!"
"Oh right, what exactly happened?" Zhou Zhou asked.
While eating, Duan Xu briefly recounted what had happened that day, adding, "Then when I woke up the next day, he had already left the country. I didn't even check the forums, so how was I supposed to know that people would bring it up?"
Zhou Zhou looked indignant. "I think they're just jealous of you. Now that something like this has happened, those who like Yan-ge are just waiting to see what happens!"
"And those who can't stand Yan-ge, they're taking this opportunity to come out and curse him, trying to smear Yan-ge!" Xiao Xu was also very angry.
Duan Xu nodded in agreement. "These people are shameless!"
After dinner, the three of them went back to their dormitory, closed the door, and then went online to browse the forum.
I just refreshed the page, and a new reply appeared.
[I'm that omega. We're classmates. We were indeed working on a group assignment that day. Later, I kept Shen Yanlang behind to ask him some questions about our major courses.]
But I suddenly went into heat, and I couldn't control my pheromones. Shen Yanlang went berserk when he smelled them and tried to force himself on me. I'm an omega, and I was in heat, so I couldn't push him away at all...
[Holy crap! So, Shen Yanlang really did cheat on me!]
[Oh my god! Isn't this considered rape? Wouldn't that land you in jail?]
[Although I have great faith in Shen Yanlang's character, they are an alpha and an omega, and the omega is in heat. Which alpha can resist that?]
[I also think that Shen Yanlang is an alpha, and he has a boyfriend, but he doesn't receive pheromone comfort, so he's bound to be affected.]
Duan Xu was furious when he saw these words. "Bullshit! Yan-ge didn't even touch her, okay? What nonsense is she talking about!"
Zhou Zhou was also furious, "This omega is so obsessed with alphas, is he? And he even slandered Yan-ge!"
"Was she doing it on purpose?" Xiao Xu couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Duan Xu and Zhou Zhou immediately realized that since neither Shen Yanlang nor Duan Xu had spoken up on the forum, most people would believe her once this omega appeared.
In this way, everyone will know that Shen Yanlang had a relationship with her, and as long as the omega forgives him and says that they are in a relationship, Shen Yanlang will not be arrested and imprisoned, but he must stay with that omega.
"Wow! This omega is so cunning!" Zhou Zhou exclaimed in surprise.
Duan Xu was also shocked, but even more so, he was furious. He realized something. "She said they did that, but Yan-ge came out very quickly, and someone even saw him run out. Judging from the time the other three classmates left, it definitely couldn't have been more than ten minutes. Nothing could have happened!"
"That's right!" Zhou Zhou slammed his hand on the table, and Xiao Xu nodded in agreement. "You're absolutely right, there's simply not enough time!"
"Haha..." Zhou Zhou laughed loudly, "She handed over her weakness herself, eh, now I think I understand what Jing-ge and Yan-ge meant."
Just then, Xue Jingshu called Zhou Zhou. He answered and put the call on speakerphone, "Now you can go to the forum and explain about Duan Xu's split."
"Okay, no problem!" Zhou Zhou replied, then added, "Xuxu knows too. I asked him about the whole process, and that omega was courting death."
Xue Jingshu hummed in agreement. "Since he knows, he can go to the forum if he wants, or if he doesn't, that's fine. Little Yan and I will handle it. Once Little Yan's side is over, he can comfort people himself; we don't need to help."
"Okay." Zhou Zhou glanced at Duan Xu, then suddenly asked, "What's Yan-ge doing abroad at this time?"
Zhou Zhou had previously heard Duan Xu say that he himself didn't know what Shen Yanlang was doing abroad, so he thought that perhaps Xue Jingshu knew, since they had grown up together.
"Going abroad?" Xue Jingshu was puzzled for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "He didn't go abroad, but we can't tell Duan Xu about this."
"Huh?" Zhou Zhou was stunned and looked up at Duan Xu.
Duan Xu paused, a sudden panic gripping his heart. "He didn't go abroad?"
Xue Jingshu: "... Duan Xu?"
"Uh..." Zhou Zhou glanced awkwardly at Duan Xu Xiao Xu, then at Xiao Xu, who then chimed in, "We had lunch together and are in the dorm now."
Xue Jingshu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said directly, "He's in his most vulnerable period and I'm afraid I won't be able to control himself, so he's staying alone and hasn't gone abroad."
Duan Xu's heart tightened, as if it were being squeezed tightly by a hand, making it hard for him to breathe. "Where is he now? I'm going to find him."
