2.4 Reversal

After breakfast, all the participants went to the front door, waiting for the three vans to pick them up. Every day, they would be sent on a different test. Today is the fifth and the last test of the week.

On the weekend, the network would organize outings for them to relax, plus they would always have drama that would create high ratings. The next week will be the last test which lasts 5 days, and the final test counts for a lot of points.

Even if you were last in the previous five tests, you can still win if the line of products you create is amazing.

That's why A-Xuan immediately fixed the original's reputation. He's confident that his line will be the best, but if the netizens give him a terrible score because they hate him, he's sure to lose.

A-Xuan was on the side, leaning against the door alone, while all the rest of the participants were discussing among themselves. He doesn't mind being alone; he's done it for a few thousand years.

Plus, if the netizens see that he's being ostracized by the other participants because of Yawen's lie, it's just going to make them hate him more and sympathize with him.

He felt a look directed at him and turned his head. Cai Lu was looking at him, standing close to Yawen and Gaochi who were in the middle of a discussion.

A-Xuan raised an eyebrow inquisitively. He wants to know what is going on in his mind. Ever since this morning, he could feel his heated gaze, which he already thought was weird, but he was dumbstruck at breakfast when he wiped his tears.

In the previous world, a work partner and a friend of his tried to wipe the tears that had fallen on his face because of the strong wind, and he immediately felt uncomfortable.

He felt like only his husband should do that and no one else. It happened every time, as long as it wasn't Wu Jing doing it. But today when Cai Lu did it, he didn't feel disgusted, he felt the same way he did when Wu Jing would do it - touched.

Cai Lu has been feeling out of sorts ever since yesterday evening. When the Omega looked at him back in the kitchen, he felt a pull to him. Before, he never bothered to look at him, let alone into his eyes.

He only saw live today, his golden eyes. It's truly the most beautiful eyes he has ever seen.

When they were sitting around the table and he saw him in tears, he felt his heart clench, and before he could think, he had already reached out to wipe them.

He was surprised by the Omega's personality because the person Yawen described was the opposite of the cute Omega.

When Yawen talked about A-Xuan's personality, no one could refute him because he would never mingle and interact with them, so they just believed Yawen, thinking A-Xuan doesn't want to talk to them because he's arrogant, as he had said.

But just looking into his eyes, Cai Lu felt like he wasn't the person Yawen described. How could he have such a warped vision of him when they were friends for so long?

Cai Lu kept watching intently until the cute Omega turned and looked at him, arching an eyebrow. When he was about to go over to him, he saw his best friend Xiao Nei approach him with a big smile on his face.

They've known each other ever since they were kids, and Cai Lu saw how his friend looked at breakfast. He is 100% sure that his best friend has a crush on A-Xuan, even at the beginning of the show he told him that he was beautiful.

When Xiao Nei saw him cry at breakfast, it woke his sense of protectiveness. He knows that because he felt the same way yesterday night.

A-Xuan watched as Xiao Nei went to him with a big grin on his face. He couldn't stop himself from smiling. He actually likes Xiao Nei because, contrary to other Alphas, he's more relaxed and fun, so he doesn't mind becoming friends.

Xiao Nei said assuredly:

"You're sitting with me on the van."

All the participants turned to look at him amused. He was like a kid making a demand, very cute.

A-Xuan was also amused and said with a smile while rubbing his head:

"Okay, I will."

Xiao Nei lowered his head to give him better access and at that, A-Xuan laughed.

At the sound, the participants and netizens were all stunned. His laugh seemed to float through the air like a beautiful melody.

The Netizens watching:

@Yourdriver: Hmm am I the only one who thinks that A-Xuan's laugh is the best sound in the world?

@Felicia: I know right, everything about him is gorgeous including his laugh.

@Jonah: The sight of A-Xuan laughing is much better than the one from yesterday.

@Luche: I'm so happy he's starting to fit in, how could the participants believe Yawen's lies about him?

@Sienna: I know right, you can see how innocent he is when he laughs.

Xiao Nei looked at A-Xuan with bright eyes. This Omega is the cutest he has ever seen. A-Xuan put down his hand and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Nei shook his head and said:

"Nothing, you're just too cute."

When A-Xuan heard that his face immediately started to heat up and the next second he was red. All the participants who gathered around them at some point laughed at the adorable blushing Omega.

A-Xuan hid his face behind his hands, wanting to disappear, and the participants just laughed more.

Yawen watched from the side and felt like killing him, he did everything he could to destroy his reputation in the past four days, and in less than a day he managed to turn things around.

Do you think I'm going to let you live peacefully? He will never forgive A-Xuan and won't feel at peace until he destroys him. He can't help it; he just feels this deep hatred for him.

Cai Lu, who had eyes on him, was also angry but not for the same reason as Yawen. He hates the fact that A-Xuan is this close to Xiao Nei and that he's the one who can make the cute Omega laugh and blush.

He feels this need to be close to him. He wants to hide A-Xuan so no one can see him and be charmed by him. Ever since he was a kid, everything he wanted, he always went for it, so why would it be different for A-Xuan?

When he heard the vans approaching, he walked to A-Xuan, but before that, Yawen grabbed his hand. He asked with a cute voice:

"Lu-Ge, will you sit with me?"

From the moment Yawen set his sight on him, he wanted him. He can't even recall the last time he wanted something that wasn't related to destroying A-Xuan.

He could feel the Alpha's ambiguous attitude toward him. Even though he still feels bitter about him eating his enemy's breakfast, it doesn't change the fact that he'll do anything for him to be his.

Cai Lu frowned and pulled his hand back. The van had already reached the house, so he just advanced and grabbed A-Xuan's hand to pull him into the van.

Xiao Nei watched unhappily as Cai Lu gave A-Xuan the seat by the window and sat next to him. The two seats left were in the back. He said feeling wronged:

"Lu-Ge, I already said I'm sitting next to A-Xuan."

Cai Lu watched him and raised an eyebrow as if to say, "So there's nothing you can do about it." Xiao Nei mumbled discontentedly and went to sit at the back with a beta.

Yawen got into another van with Gaochi. His face was red with anger and humiliation. All the participants and the netizens heard him ask Cai Lu to sit with him, but he rudely pulled his hand away and sat with A-Xuan.

So it wasn't enough that you destroyed my family, now you want to steal my Alpha? I'm going to get rid of you once and for all.

A-Xuan rubbed the head of the discontented Xiao Nei and was about to pull away and turn back when he felt Cai Lu pull his hand. A-Xuan looked at him and blinked, surprised but didn't pull away from his hand.

Cai Lu looked back at him and said, still holding his hand while the other caressed his eyes:

"I love your eyes."

A-Xuan blushed and answered:

"Thank you, I like yours too."

Cai Lu had a delighted smile on his face. The cute Omega is only blushing for him now.

The whole way to the site, Cai Lu didn't let go of his hand and kept playing with it, except that despite his fierce exterior, every one of his touches was gentle. A-Xuan felt very comfortable, so he let him do as he pleased.
