The capital was located in the north, and it got dark early. It was just five o’clock in the afternoon, but the sky was already turning dark. Buses carrying dozens of young athletes from different provinces and cities merged into the evening rush hour traffic.
Rocking and swaying along the way, the slow-moving bus was on the road for a long time and finally arrived at the training center.
It was a very magnificent building complex. From the moment the bus drove into the center, the carriage buzzed with excitement as one after another sounds of exclamations were heard.
This was the capital! The training center of the national team! This was where countless world champions were born!
Which athlete did not dream of being on the international podium? These young people were all top-notch seedlings in various provinces. Now that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity of training to enter this sacred training center, they were naturally excited.
Li Cheng took out his mobile phone, put the lens on the glass window, and kept taking pictures and videos. He intended to send the video to [Sea King Group], but he didn’t think that Coach Wu would be one step ahead of him. He had already sent more than a dozen photos.
A group of lurking sea kings exploded out of the sea king group. They all howled one by one, expressing envy that Li-ge could train in such a professional place.
Coach Wu said in the group: “If you envy Li Cheng, you have to double your training! Even if you miss this opportunity, you can still participate in the selection of the International University Games when you enter university. As long as you work hard, you will have the opportunity to come here!”
As soon as the word training was mentioned, all the sea kings in the group soundlessly dived into the deep.
Li Cheng didn’t participate in the group chat. He was too busy sending a video to Xiao Yiheng.
Small Round Orange: (video sent)
Small Round Orange: See where your husband will stay for the next two months!
Pursue Unremittingly: Wow! The environment is really good.
Small Round Orange: …
Small Round Orange: … The video is still loading and hasn’t been sent yet.
Sure enough, an alpha’s mouth was a sly scammer. Li Cheng truly wanted to look up to the sky and give a big roar “Xiao Yiheng, you have no heart!”
Xiao Yiheng who was caught in the act: “…”
Small Round Orange: Why do I feel you’re acting weird since I finished the video call with you?
Pursue Unremittingly: No, I’m fine.
Pursue Unremittingly: There should be a lot of things keeping you busy since you just arrived there. Go ahead. I won’t bother you.
— Li Cheng knew the answer to this question!!!
When your partner says “I’m fine. You go about your work, okay?”, don’t follow their words with “All right, I’ll go work”, because the more they say they’re fine, the bigger the matter is!
Li Cheng pondered for a long time, but couldn’t figure out why Xiao Yiheng behaved so strangely. When he first called, Xiao Yiheng looked very normal, and he was even concerned about whether he was dressed too lightly and whether he would catch a cold. It seemed that since they finished talking about Zhou Jian, Xiao Yiheng’s tone was a bit wrong.
“Could it be because I said his family was a ‘triple Jianer family’? Is he unhappy because he felt that I was being disrespectful?” Li Cheng muttered to himself.
At this moment, the bus shook slightly and stopped. When the door opened, the young people who had been excited for a long time rushed down. Only Li Cheng was still sitting with a dazed look on his face, racking his brains to analyze his boyfriend’s abnormality.
“Li Cheng, it’s time to get off the bus.” A hand fell gently on Li Cheng’s shoulder.

Li Cheng’s suitcase was very large. He bought it before he set out for the capital. He planned to stuff it with local specialties and give them to the group of little pigs in the team when he returned.
Zhou Jian took the initiative to stretch out his hand while speaking softly and acting like a gentleman: “Is it heavy? Let me help you lift it.”
Seeing that his fingers were about to touch the back of his hand, Li Cheng waved him off, saying proudly: “Don’t underestimate Laozi! Just this little thing, Laozi can lift it up to the tenth floor without any effort~ !”
Zhou Jian: ” …… ”
In order to show off his strength, Li Cheng took a deep breath, picked up the large suitcase with one hand, and with three thumping steps, jumped off the bus…
… Zhou Jian silently followed him out of the bus.
The bus stopped at the entrance of the training team’s dormitory. The dormitory teachers stood ready with their information, and distributed the dorm keys and access cards after checking their identities one by one.
This training camp had brought in many good seedlings from all provinces across the country. The din of voices in various dialects outside the dormitory sounded very lively. Those who saw them off included athletes’ parents, athletes’ coaches, and students like Zhou Jian, who reported on their own.
A staff member repeatedly broadcast on a hand-held loudspeaker: “Parents and coaches, according to regulations, people who are seeing off the candidates are not allowed to enter the athletes’ dormitory. Please go to the internal cafeteria and wait there. There will be a welcoming dinner party at 7 o’clock in the evening, and all athletes must be present. Coaches and parents are also welcome to participate.”
Coach Wu wanted to send Li Cheng into the dormitory, but he could only rest his thoughts when he heard the broadcast.
His voice was filled with worry as he asked Li Cheng: “Can you make the bed yourself? You must have a good relationship with your teammates, okay? You have to get along for two months. Don’t quarrel with others.”
Li Cheng’s ears were about to fall off, but he knew that Coach Wu meant well, so he didn’t interrupt him either. If his father was still alive, he would probably nag just like Coach Wu.
The dormitories of the national team were not divided according to the second gender, but according to the first gender.
There was one for boys and one for girls; alpha were on the first floor, beta were on the second floor, and omega were on the top floor. Although there were only three floors, an elevator was installed to make it easy for everyone to get in and out.
Li Cheng was waiting for the elevator with his large suitcase, but Zhou Jian didn’t need to use it.
Zhou Jian: “I’m going to the dormitory first. See you in the cafeteria later.”
“All right.” Li Cheng gestured an OK.
Both of them were handsome and tall, so they were quite eye-catching. At the elevator, a short boy who was an omega glanced at Li Cheng and asked him in a low voice, “Classmate, are you from the same school as the guy just now?”
Li Cheng shook his head, “No, I met him for the first time. We got acquainted on the plane.”
The short omega “understood” and let out a meaningful “Oh~”
The elevator stopped on the third floor, and several omegas filed out looking for their dorm room according to the label on the key. Coincidentally, the omega who inquired about Zhou Jian from Li Cheng, turned out to be his roommate.
Li Cheng was 1.82 meters tall, while the new roommate was around 1.70 meters tall. Their height difference was a sharp contrast as they stood side by side.
When Li Cheng opened the door of the dormitory, he realized that his other two roommates were even shorter! When the four roommates stood together it looked like a mobile beanpole surrounded by three dwarfs.
Li Cheng was very curious about them, and they were also curious about Li Cheng.
The four of them exchanged their names, hometowns, and each other’s events. Li Cheng learned that the other three roommates practiced diving.
Diving events paid great attention to muscle coordination. Excellent divers were very short and it was difficult for men to get medals if their height exceeded 1.7 meters. In addition, the omega body was more flexible after differentiation, so 70% of the athletes in this event were omega, with beta taking the remaining 30%. There were hardly any alpha left to stand on the platform.
“Are you a freestyle swimmer?” The omega who spoke to Li Cheng at the elevator previously was named Chen Miao. He was lively and outgoing, and kept chattering like a reincarnated parrot. “You must be really good! You can’t see any omega in racing events!”
Li Cheng had heard these words a thousand times. He straightened his chest and said triumphantly: “You can see it now!”
Since Li Cheng was the only omega in the swimming team for this training session, the staff had arranged for him to stay with the three diving team members in the dorm room.
The four people unpacked their luggage and on seeing that it was almost time for dinner, they went downstairs together to go to the cafeteria.
When Li Cheng went downstairs, he happened to meet Zhou Jian again.
For some reason, Zhou Jian did not notice the roommates standing right next to him. He stood alone under the streetlamp at the entrance of the dormitory, one hand tapping his phone screen and the other in his trouser pocket. His head hung low, the expression on his face unclear.
Hearing Li Cheng’s voice, he looked up.
Li Cheng asked him what he was doing. Zhou Jian showed him the screen of the phone. It turned out that Zhou Jian was fighting to eat chicken.
Li Cheng was a veteran chicken eater. At a glance, he could tell that Zhou Jian’s level was not good and he sucked at the game. He hadn’t turned anyone into a loot box yet.
Zhou Jian: “I have just played this game for a few days and I am not familiar with it. It seems you are good at it?”
“Of course!” Li Cheng patted his chest triumphantly. “I’m the winner of the Huacheng offline competition, nicknamed the little prince of rifles!”
Zhou Jian seemed to be waiting for his words, and immediately asked: “Then can you duo mode with me and take me to eat chicken?”
The so-called duo mode meant that two people entered the game together as a team to fight against other players. Duo mode was a test of tacit understanding and cooperation. Generally, only couples or friends would play the game in duo mode.
Li Cheng was someone who loved to be in the limelight. At any other time, having a little brother who wanted to hold his thigh would’ve been right up his alley. However, when this new little brother offered to eat chicken with him…
“No way,” Li Cheng hesitated for a long time, but shook his head and refused, “I can’t take you to eat chicken.”
“…” Zhou Jian asked, “Why not? Is it inconvenient?”
Li Cheng: “There is nothing inconvenient. It’s just that I sold my account a few days ago.”
Zhou Jian: “…”
Li Cheng reminded him in a serious tone: “I advise you to sell your account as soon as possible. Training is so tiring. If you still waste time playing games, you won’t be able to focus during the training!”
“…” Zhou Jian quietly put away the phone, and left alone in the bleak north wind.
Li Cheng looked at his back as he walked away and felt proud of himself for being virtuous and saving a lost lamb.
He turned around to find his roommates and came face to face with three tangled faces.
Li Cheng asked in sheer confusion: “What’s the matter with you? Do you have a toothache?”
“…… No,” Chen Miao asked him, “the alpha just invited you to play games. Why didn’t you agree?”
“How is that possible?! Playing games affects training ah!”
“…”
“What’s wrong?”
Chen Miao shook his head in disappointment, “It’s nothing. Li Cheng, you must never have been in a relationship, right?”
Li Cheng’s fatigue vanished without a trace at the mention of this topic! Li Cheng’s eyes were bright, his face glowing with happiness: “Wrong! I have a boyfriend!”
Chen Miao asked in disbelief: “Where is your boyfriend?”
“In Huacheng,” Li Cheng waved his hand. “I’m out here battling the other players, he is farming and watering the flowers at home. Men farm, men weave. We are a perfect match!”
“Oh…” Chen Miao asked again, “What is your boyfriend’s gender?”
Li Cheng: “Of course he’s alpha!” He especially emphasized, “He is 1.87 meters tall and is very good-looking; he has a high IQ and has won several Olympiads; oh yes! He is also very artistic. He’s good at oil painting and even made me… even made me his model.”
He spoke very eloquently. Unfortunately, he didn’t have Xiao Yiheng’s photo on his phone. Otherwise, he would’ve definitely shown them how handsome his boyfriend was!
But Li Cheng didn’t notice that when he was enthusiastically portraying his boyfriend, his three roommates secretly exchanged a few glances.
“Li Cheng is exaggerating too much, right?…”
“As everyone knows, when an alpha knows that he is handsome, he will become very glib; it is also well known that when an alpha is smart, he will become bald; another well known fact is that when an alpha says he can draw, it means he can only produce and sell his own paintings.”
“To sum up, there is no such perfect alpha in this world!”
“It’s like a manga… no, a novel character setting!”
“Li Cheng is obviously someone who has been single since birth. He has probably never even held an alpha’s hand.”
“He is 1.82 meters tall of which 1.8 meters are his legs, and the remaining two centimetres is his EQ, right?”
The author has something to say:
In fact, Lao Xiao doesn’t need to worry. With Chengcheng’s EQ, he can’t even detect that others want to hook up with him…
