Their entanglement with Xiao Ping was also a long story.
In their first year, a delinquent from another school was causing trouble by harassing a beautiful omega in their school. That delinquent didn’t really dare to do anything serious, but he whistled and blocked that omega’s paths, relentlessly demanding her phone number. The harassed girl almost cried in frustration.
Lin You happened to pass by and effortlessly dealt with that delinquent in just ten minutes, forcing him to call him “Dad” and acting even more like a bully than him.
The girl who had been harassed blushed as she watched with a pounding heart. Afterward, she gifted Lin You more than a week’s worth of milk as a thank-you.
However, that delinquent hobbled back up and threatened Lin You to wait and see.
Lin You didn’t take him seriously at all.
To his surprise, two days later, that delinquent showed up at the school gate with a group of people, and every one of them was big and tall. Just from one glance, they already looked like they weren’t on the same level as that delinquent.
But unfortunately.
On that day, Lin You wasn’t alone when he walked out of the school gate; he was accompanied by Lu Qingyan.
Ferociousness Factor ×2.
It was evening when school ended, and students were bustling around the back gate, preparing to go have dinner.
Before they could react, they were forced to witness a one-sided massacre.
Ten or so big and tall male students were pinned to the ground by the combined effort of Lu Qingyan and Lin You. Although Lin You wasn’t particularly tall, he was quick and fierce, targeting the weakest parts of those people’s bodies.
Taking advantage of his height, Lu Qingyan directly grabbed the back of their necks and knocked their heads together.
Half an hour later, a pile of bodies lay on the ground.
Lu Qingyan and Lin You became famous overnight, their heroic fight was discussed in various school group chats, and they were even scolded and lectured by the disciplinary headmaster for half an hour.
But at that time, they simply picked up their backpacks and went to eat, not caring about anything.
Afterward, they learned that the delinquent from the neighboring school had an older brother in the Judo club. Even though the delinquent was the one who harassed the girl first and then got beaten up, he still immediately ran to his brother to complain, without mentioning the reason, only claiming that he was being bullied. When his brother heard of this, he was furious and brought a group of people to JinNan High School to settle the score with Lin You.
…As a result, both brothers ended up getting beaten again.
Lin You only got to know the whole story later.
It turned out that the beaten members of the Judo club also dragged their club leader, Xiao Ping, to the scene.
Xiao Ping was not as easily fooled as his club members. He pinned down that delinquent instigator and forced him to explain everything clearly.
Afterward, Xiao Ping forcefully brought over that delinquent, along with his simple-minded brother, to apologize to Lin You
Lin You had almost already forgotten about that incident, but seeing the delinquent’s mournful face as he apologized was also quite amusing.

Xiao Ping, an alpha, was a head taller than Lin You and had a rather handsome appearance. It was hard to tell that he practiced judo. He seemed cold and difficult to get along with. Later, Lin You found out from the gossip among his classmates that Xiao Ping was also the school grass in their school.
“Tbe ralii yfja eq ws miey wfwyfgr. Po sbe pera ifjnf ilxf atlr, P mjc’a rjnf ojmf,” Wljb Ulcu rjlv lc j oija abcf.
“Then what do you want?” Lin You asked back.
Xiao Ping looked at him indifferently. “Let’s fight, just the two of us.”
The fight ended in a draw, with neither gaining an advantage over the other.
But when Lu Qingyan saw the bruises on Lin You’s abdomen, he went and fought Xiao Ping as well.
So strictly speaking, Xiao Ping ended up on the losing side in the end.
After that incident, Lin You and Xiao Ping had a few nods of acknowledgment, but they didn’t really exchange any words.
Today, when Lin You saw Xiao Ping at the school gate, Xiao Ping was leaning against a motorcycle. He wasn’t wearing his school uniform, but dressed in all black, with a bulging backpack on his back. His gaze scanned through the people walking out of the school gate, as if searching for someone.
At first glance, he looked like someone looking for trouble, and he might even have a weapon with him.
Once Lin You came out, Xiao Ping’s gaze immediately locked onto him. He hung his helmet on the motorcycle and walked toward Lin You.
Lin You: ?
He pulled on Lu Qingyan’s sleeve and whispered, “Has our school been fighting with their Bei High recently? Or did one of his club members get beaten up again? But it wasn’t me who did it, why is he looking for me?”
Three consecutive questions.
Lu Qingyan also didn’t like Xiao Ping.
He still remembered the injuries Lin You had from the fight in their first year, even though Xiao Ping wasn’t any better and was also beaten up by him afterward.
But Lu Qingyan always had double standards when it came to Lin You.
As the two were talking, Xiao Ping reached them.
After not seeing each other for half a year, Xiao Ping seemed to have grown a bit taller and became more muscular. His face remained the same, it was still that slightly feminine and handsome appearance, like a cold and icy sculpted beauty.
“I heard you’re an omega now?” Lin You almost exploded as soon as Xiao Ping opened his mouth.
He still had that cold and indifferent tone, seeming very much like someone who came to pick a fight.
Currently, Lin You hated it the most when people asked him this question.
His face immediately darkened on the spot.
What difference does it make whether he’s an omega or a beta? Why ask?!
“Yes, any complaints?” Lin You asked irritably as he cracked his fingers, making up his mind that if Xiao Ping continued shit talk, he would show him why the flowers are so red.
Except Xiao Ping fell silent instead.
He stared at Lin You for a while, his gaze making the hairs on Lin You’s back stand.
“If you have something to say, just say it. The hell are you looking at…” Lin You muttered.
But Lu Qingyan subtly read something from Xiao Ping’s face.
Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Ping spoke.
“I’m an alpha, pheromone code K871, height of 182cm, apart from drinking, I have no bad habits, I know judo and painting, and I can cook.”
Xiao Ping’s series of self-introductions left Lin You bewildered.
He couldn’t figure out what Xiao Ping meant by this.
All he could do was politely try to praise him tentatively, “…Then you’re quite outstanding?”
Lu Qingyan’s face turned so dark it could drip water.
As if he had finally made up his mind, Xiao Ping looked at Lin You earnestly and asked, “I want to pursue you. Can you be my boyfriend?”
For a moment, a series of gasps resounded in the surroundings.
Ever since the three of them stood there at the school gate, the students around them all unconsciously slowed down their pace. Lin You and Lu Qingyan were already quite well-known in the school, not to mention the addition of the school grass from the neighboring school, Xiao Ping.
But based on their deep-rooted stereotypes of Lin You, they initially thought Xiao Ping was there to pick a fight.
Who could have expected that just as the century’s epic battle was about to erupt, the next moment it took a sharp turn and turned into a campus romance film?
The onlookers stopped in their tracks completely, and some even wanted to buy some melon seeds to snack on while watching.
This was big news, definitely big news, worthy of entering the list of JinNan High School’s most viral events of the year.
Lin You nearly dropped the backpack in his hand.
Lin You’s first reaction was to turn around and see if there was a disciplinary headmaster at the school gate. Fortunately, there was only a security guard watching the commotion.
His second reaction was to look at Xiao Ping with a dumbfounded expression and sincerely ask, “Bro, do you have the wrong person?”
Which one of Xiao Ping’s eyes went wrong? For him to confess to him?
Compared to the option of genuinely liking him, Lin You leaned more towards the possibility that Xiao Ping had lost his mind.
“Nope, it’s definitely you,” Xiao Ping calmly stated, making the confession sound as natural as drinking water. He carried no hint of shyness one usually does when facing their crush, and his expression still resembled someone about to initiate a fight. “I’ve liked you since last year. How else do you think we coincidentally met when you’re in JinNan and I’m in Bei High?”
And it even turned out to be a long-term unrequited love.
The onlookers gasped in surprise, eagerly live-streaming the scene with their friends.
“But you were a beta before, and I know you seemed to lean more towards finding a female omega. The chances of my confession being successful are low,” Xiao Ping continued to explain to Lin You. “But now you’ve presented as an omega, and I know your pheromone level, H8901, it’s very compatible with mine. From any perspective, I’m highly suitable to be your partner. If you’re willing, I can give you a permanent mark right away.”
The words “permanent mark” struck a nerve in Lu Qingyan.
Before Lin You could respond, Lu Qingyan stood in front of him, his face displeased as he glared at Xiao Ping.
“Lin You doesn’t want to accept your pursuit. Since he rejected you, stop pestering him.”
Xiao Ping looked at the upset-looking Lu Qingyan and asked, “Who are you to represent Lin You?”
Lin You poked out from behind Lu Qingyan and said, “Lao Lu can fully represent my opinion. We’re really not compatible, my friend. There are plenty of fish in the sea. I hope you find your soulmate soon.”
Xiao Ping’s expression softened when facing Lin You. He explained in a gentle tone, “Our pheromone compatibility is estimated to be over ninety percent. We can be considered soulmates.”
Lin You’s face contorted for a moment.
Lu Qingyan’s knuckles made a cracking sound.
“I don’t expect you to agree today. I just hope you can consider me. There’s a natural attraction between omegas and alphas that betas can’t provide,” Xiao Ping intentionally spoke the last sentence slowly, emphasizing each word, and his gaze gently swept over Lu Qingyan.
“But I don’t like alphas,” Lin You muttered.
Xiao Ping smiled and said, “Perhaps in the near future, you’ll change your mind.”
Lu Qingyan bluntly threw out a retort, “No matter how long in the future, it’s still none of your business.”
He had a strong objection to Xiao Ping’s statement about the natural attraction that betas can’t provide.
If Xiao Ping was on his gray list before, he was definitely on his blacklist now, the kind that would never be released.
Xiao Ping didn’t bother to argue with Lu Qingyan.
His target wasn’t Lu Qingyan after all.
He opened his backpack and threw the gift he had prepared into Lin You’s arms. “For you.”
Without waiting for Lin You to refuse, he quickly swung his leg back onto the motorcycle. Before driving away, he smiled at Lin You and said, “I’ll take you for a ride sometime.”
Then, like a gust of wind, he sped away.
Uh-oh~ a rival in love so soon when our dear lao lu hasn’t even presented himself… Hang in there, bud! 😅
Poor Lu ge! He has a love rival!
Ahhhhhhh xiao ping seems kinda sweet. I hope he stays good and gets his own love story (◕ᴗ◕✿)

Wow wow Xiao Ping is wild

I’ve been definitely seeing how he can instinctively mark the MC without his permission as told in the description of the story. This source of jealousy and imminent threat only confirmed it
