Chapter 37: The Beta Who Hates Alphas Part 1

At that moment, inside the room.

Yu Sui’s expression was grim. He sat on the sofa, staring warily at the man.

After Jiang Nianxing had scared him, he had rushed back to his room.

[This is too intense.] The System sighed. [I can already imagine how the shippers will go wild.]

“He doesn’t give a damn about whether I live or die, all for a bit of hype.” The thought of all those people seeing it made Yu Sui deeply uncomfortable.

He composed himself and switched off the camera.

Then Yu Sui went to take a shower.

He had just blow-dried his hair while wrapped in a bathrobe when a knock sounded at the door.

Remembering that He Baiyan had said he would come find him, Yu Sui’s body stiffened.

“No way, right?”

He walked to the door but did not open it.

“Sui Sui.” He Baiyan called his name in an incredibly affectionate tone.

Yu Sui had no intention of acknowledging him and pretended not to hear.

“Sui Sui, today…”

The man trailed off hesitantly.

With a dark expression, Yu Sui yanked open the door. “He Baiyan, what the hell are you talking about?”

He had no fetish for broadcasting his private life to the world.

He Baiyan’s eyes curved with a faint smile. “You opened the door.”

“You…” Yu Sui gritted his teeth in fury, yet he had no choice but to let the man inside.

The netizens who had stumbled into the live stream perked up at the sight.

Word spread quickly. The corridor outside stood empty, but the viewer count in the stream kept climbing, the chat barrage exploding with activity.

[Why hasn’t he come out yet?]

[No way, is he?]

[Cough cough cough…]

[Pants coming off…]

At first, the netizens assumed the two had private business to discuss, but this level of intimate interaction was enough to send the CP fans into a frenzy.

Yet as one hour turned into two, and even midnight came and went without the room door opening, it was hard not to speculate about what they might be doing.

On top of that, the pair had already vanished mysteriously once that day and returned acting strangely. Before long, the netizens were spinning wild tales, turning fiction into fact.

The atmosphere inside the room was nowhere near as rosy as they imagined.

Staring warily, Yu Sui demanded, “Captain, what exactly do you want?”

“Sui Sui, you’re so cold to me.” He Baiyan put on a hurt expression. “Did I arrive too late?”

“What bullshit are you spouting!” Yu Sui was livid at how the man twisted the facts.

Seeing the youth feign outrage like that, He Baiyan’s gaze drifted from his soft black hair down to the expanse of skin exposed by the loose bathrobe.

The black fabric only accentuated skin as pale and flawless as jade.

A glimpse of ankle was visible, the joints flushed pink, while the rest remained tantalizingly concealed—but that only fueled the imagination.

He Baiyan’s throat bobbed. “Things were so rushed today that I didn’t take proper care of you. That was my mistake.”

“I don’t need your damn care.” Yu Sui caught the double meaning and gnashed his teeth. “Keep provoking me, and don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”

He was flashing his 4S status again, hoping to intimidate the man.

Yet to He Baiyan’s ears, it came across as an invitation.

Defiance from below… forced submission…

He Baiyan licked his lips. “I get it.”

Yu Sui figured he had backed down, just as expected—Alphas and their obsession with rank dominance.

“You can hang out here for a bit.” He knew the man had come solely to stir up scandal and draw eyes, so despite his irritation, Yu Sui played along.

He Baiyan nodded, reading every implication loud and clear.

Ignoring him, Yu Sui headed to the bathroom to freshen up.

“He’s way too dedicated.” There was no way Yu Sui could pull off something like that himself.

[No pain, no gain—or you’ll get cut.] The System remarked.

He Baiyan scanned the room, then undid a couple of buttons on his shirt before settling on the sofa.

He lounged sideways against the backrest, facing the bathroom door to ensure the youth would spot him the moment he emerged.

Brute force alone grew tiresome. Jiang Nianxing’s stunt earlier had clearly struck the right chord—if their personas overlapped too much, Yu Sui would lose interest in the novelty.

He was confident in his looks, so this was the time to seduce.

Holding the upward tilt of his gaze, He Baiyan anticipated Yu Sui’s reaction.

But when the bathroom door swung open, the youth didn’t spare him a single glance. He strode straight to the bed instead.

He threw back the covers, sat down, and pulled out his phone to start gaming.

He Baiyan went rigid.

Had he misread?

No—it was Yu Sui who had outmaneuvered him.

Amusement flickered in He Baiyan’s eyes. “I’m staying the night.”

Without looking up, Yu Sui jabbed a finger toward the cabinet. “Grab a blanket yourself. You’re on the sofa.”

He had seen right through it—the man wanted to brew a “spent the night” scandal.

The captain lived up to his reputation; so many schemes.

Yu Sui grumbled to himself and refocused on his phone.

He hadn’t bothered checking Weibo; it would only piss him off, and he wasn’t a masochist.

Pleased with the agreement, He Baiyan fetched a blanket.

As he lay on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the youth in bed.

So relaxed, utterly without defenses. Had he anticipated every step?

In that case…

Sleepiness overtook Yu Sui. He set his phone aside, flicked off the light, rolled onto his side, and drifted off swiftly.

In the depths of slumber, he felt his breathing grow labored.

Frowning, he tried to shift away, but the suffocating pressure only intensified.

Yu Sui struggled awake, his face as black as thunder. He sank his teeth viciously into the man stealing a kiss.

He Baiyan let out a soft hiss and pulled back. “Sui Sui.”

His voice was husky and low.

“Sui, your ass! What the hell are you doing?” Yu Sui smacked the bedside lamp on and bolted upright, bristling with wariness.

That was when he noticed the man’s shirt—several buttons undone, hanging loose, his hair tousled in a lazy, sensual disarray.

But Yu Sui was in no mood to admire it. “Are you freaking insane?”

He Baiyan only grew more aroused by the cursing. He licked his lips. “Sorry.”

“Get the hell out!” Yu Sui couldn’t care less about the man’s status now.

The youth’s angry voice drew He Baiyan closer. He clasped the back of Yu Sui’s hand and pressed a kiss to it. “Sui Sui, I didn’t want to do it like that, so I kissed you awake.”

He offered the explanation.

“Like that?” Yu Sui blinked in confusion. What was this guy even saying?

Seeing the youth play dumb, He Baiyan sighed. He released the hand and reached for the covers instead.

“You! What are you doing?” Yu Sui panicked.

“Sui Sui, what do you think?” He Baiyan tugged open the bathrobe, his eyes gleaming as they locked on those pale, slender legs.

Yu Sui found the stare downright terrifying.

Was this guy really going this far for hype?

He reached out to stop him, but it was futile.

His white briefs dangled at his knees.

Yu Sui didn’t dare move; the bastard had him by the goods.

“He Baiyan.” He gnashed his teeth.

“Sui Sui.” The response came in a voice thick with restrained intimacy.

Yu Sui’s ear tips burned. He stared at the man’s hand, terrified it might snap.

Seeing the youth tense up, He Baiyan swallowed hard. He didn’t keep him waiting.

Slowly, he leaned down.

Yu Sui’s eyes flew wide in disbelief.

This… this was…

He Baiyan had little experience in this area, but he adapted quickly, learning on the fly.

He felt no aversion toward Yu Sui.

The scent of body wash filled his senses.

His Adam’s apple slid, eyes darkening.

Yu Sui was stunned. No way… this was too much…

He Baiyan watched his reactions carefully. When the youth’s breath hitched in arousal from the stimulation, understanding dawned.

Yu Sui was definitely stimulated.

This… this…

He couldn’t put it into words. He Baiyan grew proficient fast, just as he had integrated into the company in record time. He was always sharp like that.

Yu Sui hadn’t seen it coming and lost control right then.

Cough cough…

Even a master tactician like He Baiyan couldn’t predict the timing. He failed to pull away in time.

When he lifted his head, those usually pale thin lips were flushed vivid red—and at the corner of his mouth…

Yu Sui, already reeling from the sensations—both the man’s skill and his own vulnerability—faced this visual bombshell and lost it all over again.

He Baiyan’s eyes narrowed. He licked his lips. “Sui Sui.”

“You… you…”

Yu Sui felt like the man was some soul-stealing demon, devouring not hearts but…

Inexperienced as he was, he’d fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.

His scalp prickled. He yanked the covers over himself. “You… how could you…”

From He Baiyan’s reaction, he knew no one else had done this to him before. Satisfaction bloomed in his chest.

This way, Yu Sui would remember him—even if some imitator tried later.

He said nothing more, rising to wash his face and rinse his mouth.

Propped against the headboard, Yu Sui looked shell-shocked. “Sys… System…”

[What is it?] The System turned serious at the panic in his voice.

“He…” Yu Sui stammered it out in a few words. “What… what the hell was that?”

[Isn’t he the top?] The System sounded shocked. [Don’t tell me you’ve got top potential too? Even the protagonist gong bowing to your suit pants?]

“Huh?” Yu Sui froze.

[You’re incredible.] The System said in awe.

“Huh? Me?” Yu Sui frowned. “I thought they were all just acting.”

[It’s an act, sure, but their behavior says they see you as the real top.] The System analyzed. [After all, you’re a 4S Alpha.]

At that, the System suddenly sighed. [But if they learn the truth about your identity… the revenge would be brutal. Alphas are so proud—bowing to an ordinary Beta like that, doing something so humiliating…]

“It wasn’t like I forced him.” Yu Sui’s face grew grave. “He won’t… chop me up or something, right?”

[Relax. When logoff time hits, we’re out of here.]

The System had put it plainly, so Yu Sui knew the risks. His face went pale.

No way. Phantom pains were coming.

He Baiyan touched the split corner of his mouth, his mood surprisingly good.

As for what he’d originally planned next, he decided to save it for later.

He’d come out thinking Yu Sui might initiate, or at least signal him with a look.

Instead, He Baiyan found Yu Sui looking unwell.

He paused. He’d filed away his teeth properly—what was wrong?
