The dormitory had only Tong Sui left. He decided to take a shower early and lay down on the bed, casually selecting an animated movie suitable for six-year-olds. Not long after starting it, Tong Sui dozed off. Meanwhile, the system was engrossed, staying up all night to finish the entire movie.
In the days that followed, Tong Sui obediently stayed in the dormitory. His friend, Xiao Pang, thought there might have been a fight. Tong Sui lazily replied, “No, he’s just busy.” Xiao Pang responded, “At first, everyone says they are busy, but does he really have feelings for you? Or have you done something to upset him?”
“No, not at all.”
Ye Lin Yuan really was quite busy, as he couldn’t be found several times when Tong Sui went looking for him. Seeing Tong Sui’s confused expression, Xiao Pang asked, “So, how far have you two gone?”
Tong Sui turned red and replied, “The final step.”
Xiao Pang gave a thumbs up, “Wow, progress is quick! Sui Ge, you’re amazing.”
“But normally, Omegas are supposed to be more clingy; why hasn’t your guy reacted?” Xiao Pang suggested, “Why not be proactive? Send him something, be a bit clingier.”
Tong Sui asked, “Huh?”
“Omegas need to be pampered too, Sui Ge, you just don’t get it. There are a lot of new shops opened near the school; let me take you to check them out.”
Tong Sui wasn’t worried about Ye Lin Yuan’s coldness; rather, he was a bit tired after spending days watching six-year-old animated films with the system, now having watched them up to the point of being twelve. He nodded and agreed to go out for a stroll.
After school, Tong Sui intended to go directly, but Xiao Pang mysteriously said, “Those shops don’t sell to students; let’s change into casual clothes.”
Tong Sui agreed, “Alright.” He returned to the dorm to change out of his uniform, opting for a loose shirt and shorts that looked fresh and clean, making him appear even younger.
There were several comprehensive universities near the military academy, attracting a lot of investment and bustling commercial areas. Even after the semester started, Tong Sui hadn’t explored the vicinity properly. To be honest, the foot traffic was immense.
Walking beside Tong Sui, Xiao Pang felt the attention directed at them, even if it was mostly on Tong Sui. Nevertheless, it didn’t hinder his pride. Tong Sui was indifferent to the glances until a tall boy stopped them.
The boy was dressed in sportswear and appeared energetic. He blushed and asked, “Classmate, could you give me your contact number?”
Tong Sui paused, recognizing him as an Alpha. “I’m not an Omega.”
The boy was taken aback, clearly not expecting that response. Tong Sui thought he would back off. Instead, the boy’s face turned even redder as he quietly said, “An Alpha is fine too…”
Tong Sui was speechless.
Wasn’t it said that AA relationships were rare? After brushing off the strange Alpha, Xiao Pang took Tong Sui to their destination for the day: a shop that looked somewhat suggestive just from its sign.
Tong Sui hesitated at first, but he was pulled inside by Xiao Pang. The air conditioning was chilly. He glanced at the clothes hanging on the racks but immediately lowered his head, his cheeks burning.
“Who would buy these kinds of things…”
Feeling shy, he turned to leave, only to be blocked by a sharp-eyed salesperson at the door. The salesperson, a beautiful Omega, scanned the two of them and focused on the blushing Tong Sui.
She smiled and asked, “You’re still a student, right? Here to buy something for your boyfriend?”
Tong Sui stammered, “Um, uh…”
The salesperson replied, “Since you’re here, why not let me introduce some items to you? It’s fine if you don’t like them.”
Tong Sui felt overwhelmed by her enthusiasm but steeled himself to browse inside.
“What do you think of this style?” The salesperson held up a few sheer straps that fluttered in the air due to the cool breeze.
Tong Sui imagined it and quickly shook his head. “I don’t like this.” The salesperson led him to another area, “This section is more conservative.”
Tong Sui hurriedly glanced and saw that these options were indeed much more normal compared to the previous ones.
The salesperson asked, “How tall is your boyfriend?”
Tong Sui replied, “192 cm.”
“Ah, we don’t seem to have his size here.” The salesperson’s gaze landed on Tong Sui and added, “But we do have your size. Why not try it on?”
When Tong Sui left the shop, he was holding two bags and still felt dazed.
He had bought expensive items, and the shopkeeper had generously given him a lot of miscellaneous items as gifts.
Tong Sui’s face was completely flushed. He planned to hide these items away when he got back!
Finally getting closer to the holiday, Ye Lin Yuan was almost done with his busy schedule. He received a message from Ye Lin Yuan.
Ye Lin Yuan: [Are we spending the weekend together?]
At the same time, Dong Si Nian also messaged him.
[Are you on holiday? I’m just about to come pick you up.]
Tong Sui quickly replied, [No, no, no. Brother, the principal said I have to take extra lessons this week, so I won’t be going home.]
Dong Si Nian: [So obedient?]
Tong Sui: [Mm, mm, mm.]
Dong Si Nian: [I’ve initiated a transfer for you; please check it out.]
Dong Si Nian: [Don’t overwork yourself; use the money to buy something you like and get something for your Principal Ye too.]
Tong Sui: [Got it!]
As he packed his belongings, impulsively, he opened the wardrobe and quietly placed the items at the very back into his suitcase.
