Chapter 26 (2): If I fell with Rong Jing into a river, who would you save?
“What’s your name?” Rong Jing was making a note on his phone.
“I… I’m Su Xi. You can call me Su Su. I’m really sorry for what I did just now,” Afraid that Rong Jing would think he was some kind of pervert, he immediately explained. “I’m, I’m actually a freshman from the Film Academy. I’m not someone with an unclear background.”
“Okay, Xiao Xi.” And no, I wouldn’t call a man like him with that nickname Su Su.
Rong Jing wondered if he was forced to do what he did or if it was because he was still a student. Was this to earn some extra money?

Though Omegas were rare, Omegas taking advantage of their ‘assets’ were not. This kind of thing is the same in every world. People make the most out of their own strengths.
The hotel manager originally thought that this matter would be difficult to settle, but he didn’t expect the young master to remain calm. He even took advantage of the pretty man’s scheme and solved it in a way that was still good for him.
When the ambulance came, Su Xi was later put on a stretcher. Rong Jing took some pheromone blocking spray that the hotel provided, gave one to Su Xi and kept one for himself. He still couldn’t bear to smell the scent of the pheromones. It was making him want to turn into some kind of beast.
“Why can’t you tell that I’m doing this for your own good, huh?! This damn punk. You’ve always been like this since you were a kid. I know that you can’t get it up! No need to be ashamed about it, go to the doctor and have yourself checked! How could an Alpha like you not have a fling or two?”

“…just take care of my mother, please. No need to worry about me taking a fling or not.” Rong Jing answered with great restraint. Aside from the thing that just happened a while ago, he and his stepfather really had nothing else to talk about.
“Now you’ve learned how to talk back to me, huh? Kids these days.. You think you’re better than your father, huh!” Xie Zhanhong couldn’t help but lament.
“You’re just saying that now because you didn’t know me before. Now, we can get to know each other more,” Rong Jing suddenly thought of something. In the story, a week later after Xie Ling died, Xie Zhanhong also died. Like the Old Xie had predicted, he died because of a woman. “Don’t just eat anything that anyone gives you, okay? Even medicine. Be careful.”
Xie Jisheng had been arrested for the time being but he wouldn’t stay in prison for long, not until evidence was found. He could only ask the people around him to be careful.
Xie Zhanhong didn’t take his words seriously. It didn’t really scare him or anything. He said that he was always paying attention to his health. He would eat out sometimes, but wouldn’t take any medicine unless prescribed by their own family doctor.
Since that was the case… then how did he die in the story from drug overdose?
“Stop worrying about me and have yourself checked in the hospital! We have good doctors now, medical technology has already developed a long way. I’m sure you’d be able to get it up again!”
There was a hint of annoyance in Rong Jing’s face after being accused of being dysfunctional. As soon as he finished using the bathroom, he opened the door and immediately bumped into someone.
The two looked at each other for a second.
Rong Jing: “Huh? You’re…”
Soon, he saw how the other person’s eyes showed panic. They immediately turned to use the other bathroom and slammed the door shut.

That… that was fast. Wasn’t that the waiter that I met today? What’s he doing here?
Gu Xi had just taken the make-up remover and clothes from a hotel staff when he saw an Omega lying on a stretcher in the hallway. When he saw the face of the Omega was flushed, he thought that the Alpha inside the other room had caused this. He wanted to go over to talk to him and ask him to be quiet and let others sleep peacefully. He also wanted to know what kind of Alpha would break the bones of an Omega.
However, before he could even knock on the door, he didn’t expect to hear such an amazing speech from the other person. He felt that he might have understood the scene that he saw just now.
Gu Xi quickly returned to his room, leaning against the door, covering his heart that was beating so fast.
Oh my gosh, that was close. I almost made a fool of myself! Rong Jing is actually the person next door!
He did come into this hotel after following Rong Jing, but he wasn’t such a crazy person to actually follow him this far! But any explanation isn’t going to help.
Gu Xi squeezed his face, feeling very angry at himself. Every time I meet Rong Jing, it’s always the most embarrassing time for me!!
He remembered the conversation in Rong Jing’s phone call and about the thing that he couldn’t get up. Then he recalled the little speculation that he and Xiao Hong(Guan Hongyi) had talked about, and mouthed, “Ah.”
They just thought of that being the case for his actions, but was it actually the truth?
He felt pity for Rong Jing for a moment. It must have been hard for him. He must have wanted to keep this thing a secret. Gu Xi decided that if that was the case, he would guard it for him as if he had never heard it.
However, Rong Jing didn’t think of following him at all. He simply thought what a coincidence it was to meet again, and wondered how could a waiter afford to stay in such an expensive hotel? Was being a waiter just some kind of hobby and he was actually rich?
The hotel manager thought that he had screwed up and didn’t know how to explain what happened to Xie Zhanhong. He decided to call Zhou Xiang first, then Zhou Xiang conveyed the matter to Xie Ling, who was still anxiously waiting for the result in the laboratory.

Xie Ling was already feeling upset and had been waiting for the result for a long time. When he heard the news from Zhou Xiang, his face instantly showed a cold demeanor. He immediately called Xie Zhanhong. “You’re not satisfied being the only skirt-chaser in the family, so you also want to teach my little brother how to be one?” What’s wrong with you?
Xie Ling is Xie Zhanhong’s eldest son. They have been in a cold war for years now because of what happened to Xie Ling’s mother and Xie Ling hardly ever contacts Xie Zhanhong. He felt that he was already being filial by letting his father live. It would be impossible for him to give him too much face.
Different from the tone of Rong Jing’s refusal a while ago, Xie Ling’s tone was more severe. The father and son were at loggerheads once again.
Xie Zhanhong even asked a so-common question, “You’re actually lecturing your own father for Rong Jing? The nerve of you to still call yourself my son? If I fell with Rong Jing into a river, who would you save?”
Xie Ling’s eyebrows did not even move and without hesitation, he answered, “Little brother.”
