Yan Qiu found the broom Yan Qiu used to be very familiar. It was the one he specifically used when Mr. Yang sent him to sweep the streets.
The broom had already suffered through loads of hardships and showed significant signs of age. The broom was already bald, and there were a few dirty strips of cloth wrapped on the handle.
As a grown sports student who was also an alpha, when Xie Yu swung the broom down, the power was pretty great. Even Li Chengyan, who was tall and built, nearly suffered from internal injuries from the blow.
When that broom handle hit Li Chengyan’s spine, the huge alpha staggered forward, and he fell on the ground with a curse. Even when he tried pushing himself to his feet, he was nearly unable to stand up straight.
The floor was much firmer than his knees, so the sound of him crashing on the floor could be heard echoing in the corridor. The sound alone was enough to make anyone frown.
“Boss, are you okay?!”
But Xie Yu did not have the mood to care about him. He dragged the dumbfounded Yan Qiu over to protect him behind him while he held the bald broom horizontally in front of him in preparation to fight. He looked like the Sweeping Monk from Shaolin Temple.
The “pervert” who was kneeling on one knee pathetically in front of them placed one hand on the wall.
Xie Yu stared at the person’s back. This person had fallen to the floor because of the ambush. Even though he looked pathetic, he did not seem to be in a bad situation. When he placed his hand on the wall, Xie Yu saw that his fingers were long, and his knuckles prominent. That person then stood up while swaying.
He instinctively tightened his grip over his weapon, and he saw the person turn his head toward him.
He had black hair and black eyes. His slightly long hair was past his shoulders, and it could even be tied together. Immediately, Xie Yu knew that this was the length that would make him be captured by Mr. Yang to the village to have his hair cut. One side of the black mask was hanging off an ear while the other ear had an earring in it. When he turned his head over, there was a ruthless look in his black pupils, and he looked pretty handsome.
When he was ambushed, his teeth hit his lips, and the corner of his lips was a little bruised. Li Chengyan used the back of his hand to wipe the corner of his lips a little, and he smeared the corner of his lips with a little bit of red.
Once he saw how defensive Xie Yu was, he calmly stood up, and a mocking sneer appeared on his lips. His voice was also as cold as the ice at the peak of icebergs.
“Who are you calling a pervert?”
Just by listening to his voice alone, Yan Qiu knew that Mr. Li was angry.
But he was not to be blamed for being angry. He was a charming rich man’s son. Omegas fought to be with him and he had never been treated as a pervert before.
No pervert in the world was as handsome as he was!
But Xie Yu had hit him with a stick the moment he came up!
Both of them glared at each other, and when Yan Qiu saw this, he quickly separated them. He also explained to Xie Yu who this alpha was.
Once he understood the entire situation, Xie Yu noticed that he had hit the wrong person. But as expected of Ji Xinglan’s friend, because he was just as annoying as Ji Xinglan.

Alphas were staunch people. They got angry quickly, but their anger also died out quickly as well.

Li Chengyan’s knee seemed to have been injured pretty badly. When he walked, he limped, and after taking just a few steps, he winced and leaned against the wall.
Xie Yu might not have said anything, but he felt pretty guilty. So, he expressionlessly walked in front of them and crouched down without saying another word.
Li Chengyan tilted his head to the said and looked at him. “So… are you going to carry me?”
“You don’t want to? Then, walk on your own.”
As Xie Yu spoke, he wanted to stand up.
“Of course I want to.” Li Chengyan did not turn the offer down. He pressed his body down on Xie Yu’s back, and Xie Yu nearly staggered because he was a few centimeters taller than he was.
When he steadied his footing, Xie Yu slowly stood up, and he could feel his knees trembling. With great difficulty, he tried taking a few steps forward.
Li Chengyan felt like he was about to fall with every step he took.
Li Chengyan did not actually want Xie Yu to carry him to the medical office. All he wanted to do was to take a little revenge and play a little joke with him. When he saw this, he asked Xie Yu to stop. “If you can’t do it, then forget it.”
“There’s no way I can’t.” Li Chengyan did not expect that Xie Yu was quite the stubborn person who insisted on carrying him to the medical office. Feeling resigned, he could only let Xie Yu carry him.
Yan Qiu felt a little guilty that Li Chengyan was hit because of him. He noticed that he was like an ill omen. When he was together with Ji Xinglan, Ji Xinglan got into trouble, and when he was together with Li Chengyan, Li Chengyan was the one in trouble.
“I’m sorry, Big Brother Li. Xie Yu didn’t do it on purpose.” Yan Qiu asked for forgiveness on behalf of his friend.
But when Li Chengyan heard it, his gaze when he looked at Xie Yu became a little different. “You’re Xie Yu?”
Since Xie Yu was carrying someone taller and bulkier than he was, he was so tired that he was gasping for breath. He did not have the energy to bother about him.
“It’s no wonder why Big Brother Ji asked me to be careful of you.” Li Chengyan shook his head repeatedly. “I didn’t understand it in the beginning, but now, I do.”
Xie Yu disdainfully craned his neck, but he was unable to hold back and cussed him by saying, “Just stay away from me! Stop blowing against my neck!”
“What’s wrong with it?” Li Chengyan snickered. His eyes sparkled, but he still moved his head to the side.
When they reached the medical office, Xie Yu was already so exhausted that he wanted to die. He got Li Chengyan off his back and propped him in the chair while he placed his hands on his hips to gasp for breath.
The doctor had already clocked off work since it was evening. Only the female nurse was left. After she asked about the situation, she brought out iodine from the medicine cabinet and gave it to them.
Behind the screen, Li Chengyan slowly removed his shirt and revealed sturdy muscles that Xie Yu could never hope to get.
There was indeed a bruise on his back, and there was a slight laceration on his knee as well. The skin around it was also bruised black and blue.
Yan Qiu went out to avoid them and let Xie Yu apply medicine on him.
Xie Yu was just a person who did not voice his thoughts. He might not say it, but after he hit Li Chengyan, he still felt pretty guilty, and so he obediently applied medicine on him and even said that he would pay for the medical fees. Li Chengyan refused to take cash and insisted on adding him as a friend on his terminal.
After he applied the medicine, Li Chengyan was already fine. Yan Qiu explained that he had to go back to his classroom for his self-study session at night, so he asked Li Chengyan to go back on his own.
Xie Yu watched Li Chengyan limping away, and he still felt a little guilty. He could not hold back from apologizing.
“It’s fine. We wouldn’t have been friends if you didn’t hit me. But please don’t hit me so hard next time, it really hurt.”
Li Chengyan winced as he accepted the apology. He brought out the neatly folded mask from his pocket and wore it before he parted ways with them.
As he watched Li Chengyan leave, Yan Qiu turned his head around and asked Xie Yu, “Why aren’t you going to your self-study session yet?”
“I’m hungry,” Xie Yu said sadly, “Boss, the dinner I ordered has been stolen again…”
“You haven’t eaten?” Yan Qiu looked at the voice-controlled lights that were already lit up in the corridor and the full moon hanging in the sky.
“Yeah…” When he remembered the thief who stole his takeout, Xie Yu was so angry that he gnashed his teeth together. “He stole my dinner a few times! I’m definitely going to catch him, if I don’t, then I won’t be part of the Xie family again!”
Yan Qiu gave him a resigned look. When he heard Xie Yu’s stomach growling, he smoothed his curly hair and said, “Let’s go. We’ll see if there are still any leftovers in the cafeteria.”
The cafeteria was empty. Even the plates that had been used for dinner were wiped clean. In the end, Yan Qiu had to accompany Xie Yu to go to the supermarket outside school and buy instant noodles to eat.
On his way back, Yan Qiu saw Xie Yu toying with his terminal. He asked, “What are you doing?”
“It’s nothing.” Xie Yu pushed a few more buttons and put down the terminal. “I sent the medical fees to Li Chengyan. I hit him, so at the very least, I should pay for his medical fees.”
Yan Qiu narrowed his eyes in puzzlement. “If you’re just paying for his medical fees, why would you need to add him as a friend in your terminal?”
Also, Li Chengyan would not lack that bit of money. After all, he gave fifty million yuan as a breakup fee for his girlfriends.
Yan Qiu thought that he was overthinking things, but he still could not help but remind Xie Yu. “Li Chengyan is not easy to deal with. He dated thirty-eight girls.”
But Xie Yu’s mind worked in the standard way of a straight boy. Once he heard this, he gasped in amazement and said in envy, “How could he get so many girlfriends? I’d be satisfied with just one.”
When he remembered that Xie Yu had stolen his dad’s porn collection when he was in his early teens and watched them during summer holidays and also liked women who were 36D and had great curves, Yan Qiu felt that he was worried for nothing.
He flung his arm over Xie Yu’s shoulder, and they went to the supermarket. “It’s fine. I was talking about it. Let’s go buy instant noodles.”
The supermarket in the school was built behind the restaurant. In the past, Yan Qiu and Xie Yu often came here to buy instant noodles, but after Yan Qiu got together with Ji Xinglan, Yan Qiu had practically not come here again.
Ji Xinglan fed him every day.
Yan Qiu opened the semi-transparent curtain and felt that the air-conditioner in the supermarket was very warm. Hot air instantly enveloped them.
The supermarket was usually the most popular spot in the school. Once school was over, there would be long lines formed at the counter, and usually, the lines would go straight outside the door.
School was not over yet, so they managed to buy their instant noodles without having to queue up, just as they wanted.
There was a place providing hot water at the entrance of the supermarket. Xie Yu poured boiling water into his instant noodles and stood while he talked with Yan Qiu.
They noticed a lot of post-its posted on the wall of the supermarket.
It had been Single’s Day some time ago. The supermarket wanted to keep up with the trends, so they got a confession wall here, and they also placed post-its and pens here so that the students could summon their courage and confess.
Mr. Yang felt that this was a challenge against him, but when he came over angrily to get rid of the confession wall, he found that all of the names written on the wall were confessions for Ji Xinglan, so in the end, he found it too embarrassing to remove it. That was why the confession wall stayed.
Ever since Ji Xinglan appeared, Yan Qiu was already used to enduring the pain of being ignored by girls.
But Xie Yu was really excited and wanted to see whether he could find his own name. He looked around carefully and even checked the post-its that were hidden under the other post-its, but he did not find his name.
No one confessed to him.
In fact, not only did no one write his name, the confession wall was just full of Ji Xinglan’s name.
“We were the school idols in the past. You were the most handsome, and I was the second most handsome. Why do we not have a single admirer now? Has our limelight been completely stolen by Ji Xinglan?”
Xie Yu felt a little indignant.
On one hand, it was because of his competitive nature as an alpha, and on the other hand, it was because Xie Yu felt that since Ji Xinglan was already dating his boss, then this should be something that only involved the both of them now. If other people confessed to Ji Xinglan, he felt unhappy for Yan Qiu.
Xie Yu searched for a stack of post-its, wrote his name, and stuck more than ten of them on the wall as if they were worth nothing so that he could vent his anger. Then, he picked up his cup noodles and started shoving food down his face.
With how he was stuffing his face full of food, he looked like he was really hungry, and Yan Qiu sighed.
‘This kid hasn’t changed at all. He’s still as childish as ever.’
Yan Qiu sat across Xie Yu and fiddled with his terminal while he smelled the scent of instant noodles.
He sent a message to Ji Xinglan and told him about Li Chengyan. He also told Ji Xinglan that was waiting in the classroom and that he was not to forget to look for him.
[Alright.] Ji Xinglan replied quickly. [I’ll pick you up at night. Of course I won’t forget. We still have something we haven’t done yet.]
[What haven’t we done?] Yan Qiu asked.
Ji Xinglan answered shamelessly. [We only tested one of the toys I bought yesterday.]
Mogumoguchan: By the way, Li Chengyan is Xie Yu’s top. Their story is going to be in the side stories.

YIEEEEE LOVE AT FIRST HIT <3
I think there’s a mistake with the name in the first sentence: “Yan Qiu found the broom Yan Qiu (should be Xie Yu) used to
be very familiar.”
While I did get CP vibes from Xie Yu and that Li guy, I was hoping Xie Yu would get to be the top. He deserves it!
Great for XY! He deserves to be treated nicely.
I can smell someone will soon eat his words hahaha I see you Li Chengyan
Wow I had a feeling. Looking forward to the side story
No wonder I was getting cp vibes from them 👀
Yeah, that A + A vibe was too hard to hide. He better take care of XY or he’ll have lots of brooms to look forward to in the future 🤣
Omg yesss, I actually called LCY and XY being a CP the moment that scene started. XY best boy istg. I’m so excited for their side story.
I still hope that XY will top but when I read about LCY long limbs I discard that hope. 😂
I’m vibing to that cp theme song…
Of course there’s gonna be cp vibes, the book started to describe how handsome and fierce Li Chengyan was after Xie Yu hit him. That’s slow-motion/first-meeting tropes.
