Chapter 69 p2: Online Dating a Bad Beta 22
Since the Midsummer Night’s Ball, more and more people knew that Assistant Xi was the president of Future Pharmacy in disguise.
They had also developed a special line of thought and had connected Weng Li’s expulsion with the recent lawsuit filed by Future Pharmacy against Cuilai in the interstellar court.
After a round of imagination, in the end, they had even connected Xi Congshuang with the four words “enduring humiliation for the sake of revenge,” which were passed down from the ancient Earth era.
The gossip-loving crowd did not consider at all why the dignified person in power of Future Pharmacy would personally go down to the grassroots to find evidence, when it was just a matter of a word for her.
But what was strange was that when they were told by their elders that the Xi Congshuang who was using the alias Xi Zhaoxue was actually a profligate who was indulging in pleasure and only loved alphas, their first reaction was: How is that possible? Don’t joke with me?!
After all, seeing is believing. The Xi Congshuang everyone saw was cold and serious, rejecting people from a thousand miles away. She would definitely not get her hands dirty if she could just give a topical spray. Her attitude towards alphas was always “you’re welcome not to come next time.” From head to toe, there was not a single bit of an alpha-sexual attitude.
According to informal statistics, everyone used the school doctor’s office’s mirror more frequently than Doctor Fan herself. Now, when you got close to the mirror, you could smell the scent of topical spray from the frame.
The main thing was that Xi Congshuang had a bit of a temper. Every student had to wash their hands for a long time after they left. Although she did not show it obviously, she always felt that she was subtly disliked.
There was a special complaint post about this on the school’s forum.
The post complained in detail about Assistant Xi’s fussiness. She only had two skills: giving a topical spray and pointing the way to the mirror on the left of the room, and giving a bandage and medical tape to bandage it yourself.
The resentment in the anonymous post was really strong. At first, it was echoed by many alpha students. Later, everyone felt that something was not right and that this student was hating because of love. Everyone quickly left.
But there were also beta and omega students mixed in who expressed different views.
80% of the beta students said that Assistant Xi was calm and patient, very gentle. 90% of the omega students thought that Assistant Xi was curious and gentle, and her technique in dealing with external injuries was meticulous. She had also explained that washing her hands was just a personal reason.
In the end, only the alpha students were hurt.
But a person with a digital ID who was obviously a senior student replied, “She’s not fussy. She just has a serious case of mysophobia. Washing her hands all the time also hurts the skin on her hands.”
Later, this post mysteriously disappeared. The students who had had enough of the fun no longer cared about this person’s love-hate speech.
A few days later, the alpha who had been unmuted posted again, angrily cursing that someone had reported his post and said that he had remembered the all-digital ID.
Tan Yicheng, who was browsing the school forum, raised her hand and reported the post again. The reason was: doxxing/instigating a fight/inappropriate speech.
Five minutes later, when she went back again, this account had been banned again for three months.
In short, the news that Xi Congshuang was the person in power of Future Pharmacy was spreading wider and wider, and more and more people knew about it.
No matter what the other party’s purpose was, it was not wrong to join in the fun. There were also some who held the thought that maybe the rumors were true, and that they no longer wanted to work hard, and joined in the fun.
This noon, Xi Congshuang was sent out to play by the annoyed Doctor Fan. She would be called back when there was no one left.
Doctor Fan muttered, “These alphas are always like this. They always like to gather together when there’s something. When they’re in a passionate mood, they can even say ‘forever’ to a beta…”
Xi Congshuang raised an eyebrow. “Are you talking about Colonel Lin?”
“Hmph, who’s talking about her?” Doctor Fan’s eyebrows stood on end. “I don’t know the person who said ‘I won’t implicate you, let’s just separate’ after one surgery on the battlefield, nor do I know the person who insisted on being transferred back to the Central Star and would rather not be promoted and always run to the school.”
Xi Congshuang understood. This couple, who was not known to outsiders, had had a small conflict today. She did not hear a single bit of complaint in these words, only showing off.
“A bouquet of roses today,” Doctor Fan pointed to the roses, and her other finger pointed to the other side, “a bouquet of baby’s breath tomorrow. Ha, does she think this is a flower shop?”
Xi Congshuang said apologetically, “I’ll have someone come and deal with it later. They’ll all be sent back one by one.”
“…” Doctor Fan straightened her back and looked at the person by the medicine cabinet, thinking to herself that if Xi Congshuang were a little lazier and not so obedient, she would have a reason to ask this big shot to leave.
Forget it. A good person has been turned into what by rumors. It’s very normal for her not to want to go back.
She’s too lazy to be the bad guy.
Besides, according to her age, she could have a child as old as Xi Congshuang.
Doctor Fan pushed up her glasses and waved her hand as if shooing away a naughty child. “Go, go, go out and play. Stop attracting people here to annoy me.”
Xi Congshuang couldn’t help but laugh. In the end, she was still kicked out of the school doctor’s office and went downstairs for a walk.
After that, many people went up one after another, all of them in vain. After being scolded, they returned dejectedly.
All of this had nothing to do with Xi Congshuang. She was sitting in the woods resting, rarely breathing the fresh air filled with the scent of grass and trees.
In the interstellar era, plants were scarce, and many green landscapes were replaced by artificial plants. The air circulation system had also been perfected over the years, perfectly hidden in the artificial plants.
But there were still a large number of real plants, for example, the place where Xi Congshuang was sitting was the imperial garden left over from the imperial era. After the palace and the corrupt rule were overthrown, the federation had built a school on the ruins, and this lush forest had been preserved to this day.
Xi Congshuang was sitting with her back to the passers-by. Occasionally, a group of students would run past, their footsteps neat. They would have to run for dozens of kilometers to meet the instructor’s requirements. Everyone was so tired that no one paid attention to who the person sitting alone in the woods was.
But there was still one person who noticed the back of the person sitting alone in the woods. She broke away from the main group and walked near the elegant back.
The left ear with the long hair tied up moved. The back that was facing her turned her head and saw Tan Yicheng.
Tan Yicheng, who had just remembered that she had run thirty kilometers and was sweating a little, suddenly did not dare to go forward. She stopped at a distance and said, “I thought I saw wrong. I didn’t expect it to be really you.”
With an alpha’s eyesight, it was impossible to see wrong. This was just an opening line to start a conversation, but it was not very clever.
Xi Congshuang looked at her for a while, then suddenly held out a hand, a handkerchief folded in her fair palm. “Here.”
Tan Yicheng: “What is this?”
Xi Congshuang raised her hand slightly. “A handkerchief. To wipe your sweat.”
Tan Yicheng had never seen anyone carry a handkerchief with them. This was different from a decorative handkerchief. In the end, she could not resist the temptation and still approached her.
As expected, she smelled the familiar perfume again. While thinking that it was a woody scent again, she took the handkerchief without touching Xi Congshuang’s palm. There was no faucet nearby, so she couldn’t wash her hands.
But there was one thing she was still very curious about. Tan Yicheng: “Why do you carry a handkerchief out, instead of the more convenient tissues?”
Xi Congshuang pondered for a moment and answered, “I forgot the reason, but I think it should be because I had a bad experience with tissues of unknown origin, so I carry a handkerchief with me.”
“…” Tan Yicheng suddenly felt that the handkerchief in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
But at this time, Xi Congshuang said unhurriedly, “The one you’re holding is indeed the one I often use. If you have time, you can wash it and return it to me.”
Tan Yicheng: “………”
She finally realized what an incredible thing she had taken from Xi Congshuang.
Although her internet speed was a bit slow, it didn’t mean that she didn’t go online at all. There was a drama that claimed to be a well-researched ancient Earth era background drama that had a handkerchief-passing love plot. In order to boast about this research, the crew had bought a lot of trending searches and had even pushed it in front of Tan Yicheng, and she had also watched a few glances.
Xi Congshuang, who often watched TV series, must have known this!
Is this, being confessed to?
Should I reply?
How should I reply?
Wouldn’t it be too unromantic if I don’t reply?
The orange-flavored alpha was suddenly flustered, hesitating several times.
Xi Congshuang, who was just used to using a handkerchief and was a genuine ancient Earth era native: “?”
She thought that Tan Yicheng didn’t like to use things that others had used and explained, “This one was washed yesterday. I haven’t used it yet. Don’t worry.”
Tan Yicheng: “…”
No! That’s not it!
