Ch10 - Huacheng’s Wildest Omega

Hu ge bitterly cried as he knelt in front of the two malignant stars, crying out ‘mom’ and ‘dad’. Although Hu ge would rank at the bottom when it came to fighting ability, he would definitely be at the very top of the ranking when it came to shamelessness.

The atmosphere became tense in an instant. 

Li Cheng was like a pot of boiling water with steam coming out of his ears. He subconsciously threw Xiao Yiheng a side glance, not expecting that Xiao Yiheng was also looking at him.

Their gazes met and they looked away at the same time.

Fuck.

Li Cheng was irked, thinking, I’ve never been someone’s dad yet I actually became a mom just by running into Xiao Yiheng! 

Who would want to have anything to do with Xiao Yiheng, this asshole?! Even if all the alphas in the world except Xiao Yiheng became impotent, even if I had to get through all the estrus in my whole life on my own, it’s impossible for me to get together with Xiao Yiheng, alright?

Li Cheng was filled with anger but had no way to release it. He could only send the gang leader in front of him flying.

He kicked Hu ge and asked with an angry expression, “Where are you from? Don’t you know that this is my domain? And yet, you still dared to run around wildly?”

With face covered in tears, Hu ge explained that they ‘fled’ from the neighbouring district. Their area had been demolished last year and the group of youngsters became rich overnight, instantly losing the meaning of life.

It was said that money corrupts man. Thus, it was a matter of course that they got corrupted. They did nothing every day. They didn’t want to study or work and only hang around with each other every day. Eventually, they formed a gang that was led by Hu ge.

Li Cheng: “……So you’re actually a group of wealthy second generation?”

Hu ge shook his head like a rattle-drum and humbly replied, “We don’t deserve to be called that. Wealthy second gens are those educated ones. At best, we could only be called ‘demolition’ second gens.”

Li Cheng felt so indignant. 

He also wanted to get rich overnight and experience losing the meaning of life! In that way, he could be together with his sister. She could have as many milk teas as she wants and buy as many hair ties as she wants.

Suddenly, he heard a peal of stifled laughter beside him.

“!!!”  Li Cheng froze before looking to his side, “Xiao Yiheng, did you just laugh?”

Xiao Yiheng merely threw him an indifferent side-glance, “You misheard.” 

Li Cheng thought, Heh, so good at pretending.

Li Cheng eyed Hu ge who had curled up into a ball in fright and said, “Since I’ve defeated you, I’ll give you two options: First, scram out of my territory. If you step into my territory again in the future, I’ll break your three legs. Second, bring your lil’ brothers over and have them as my underlings. In the future, you won’t be allowed to break the law and commit crimes anymore!”

Hu ge pondered it over and chose the second option in the end. He had no choice. Who let this area be the most bustling area in Huacheng? Every type of entertainment place could be found here unlike their district where they didn’t have anything to spend on despite having pockets filled with cash.

Thus, Li Cheng ‘acquired’ a troop of demolition second gens. 

In historical records, they were referred to as the Little Tigers.

“There’s one more thing.” Li Cheng became amicable towards his newly acquired underling, “Our group might be huge, but our hearts can’t be divided. There can only be one ge in the group and that’d be me, Li ge. Once you’re my underling, you can’t be called ‘Hu ge’ anymore. So, I’ll call you Lil’ Hu. What do you think?”

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Xiao Yiheng who was beside Li Cheng looked at the burly Hu ge and, unable to restrain himself, turned away and laughed.

Li Cheng immediately narrowed his eyes at him, “Xiao Yiheng, are you laughing at me again behind my back?” 

Xiao Yiheng naturally denied it.

When Hu ge saw that the two were about to quarrel once again, he quickly dropped down into the standard kneeling position when sucking up to someone, “Dad, mom, as the saying goes, a thousand miles of distance can be overcome by fate; thousand years of effort can bring people together. If you have anything to say, wait until you’ve returned home to talk it out. Don’t make a scene in broad daylight! Do it for me, for Hu g—I mean, Lil’ Hu’s sake. Let’s harmoniously return home, alright?”

Li Cheng: “……”

Xiao Yiheng: “……” 

Hu ge shouldn’t have been a demolition second gen, he should’ve been a hanmai streamer.

With eyes filled with benevolence, Li Cheng patted Hu’s head, “Son, promise me one thing.” 

Hu ge: “Tell me.”

Li Cheng: “Don’t regard an enemy as your father, alright?”

Xiao Yiheng: “……”

Xiao Yiheng’s phoenix flickered towards Hu ge, “Son, promise me one thing as well.” 

Hu ge: “Tell me.”

Xiao Yiheng: Although you don’t mind that your mom’s ugly, don’t pick such an ugly one, okay?”

Hu ge: “……”

So tiring to act as a son towards this couple. 

……

Li Cheng’s lil’ brothers belatedly arrived. Some were holding whisk brooms, some brought folding chairs, while there were some who directly pilfered the metal plates from the cafeteria.

Yan Jing, who had been coerced to come with them, was among the crowd

When Yan Jing saw Xiao Yiheng, he immediately went over and pantingly asked, “Senior Xiao, you didn’t get injured, did you? S-sorry for running away… No, I didn’t run away! I ran back to school to call for help!” 

Being a good little boy, this was Yan Jing’s first time to be together with so many delinquents. He proudly puffed out his chest, thinking to himself, I have so many brothers now. Who would still dare to call me weakling and nerd in the future?

On the other side, the lil’ brothers flocked around Li Cheng like a swarm of bees, concernedly asking him if he sustained any injuries.

Li Cheng only had a slight injury on his fist which he received when he used too much force on beating people up. His fingers were somewhat sore and it was slightly bleeding.

The bleeding was nearly the same as that of a mosquito bite. 

Although it was a minor injury, it formed a stark contrast against his wheat-coloured skin.

The worried Huang Yelun glared at Hu ge, “Is it you who injured our boss?!”

Hu ge: “……”

Hu ge shivered as he knelt on the floor and sullenly asked, “Isn’t the fight already over? How could there still be a sequel?” 

Li Cheng bestowed Huang Yelun with a rap on the head, “Enough. You weren’t here earlier when your father needed you yet now, you abruptly showed up and are acting as a filial son?”

Huang Yelun felt aggrieved, “Li ge, you ran before four-eyes could even finish what he was saying and we couldn’t catch up after you!” He covered his forehead and pointed his lips at Xiao Yiheng’s direction as he curiously asked, “Boss, when did you know Xiao Yiheng? Why were you so worried when you heard that he’s being surrounded?”

He didn’t restrain his voice when he spoke so he was heard by everyone.

Xiao Yiheng, who was the subject of their conversation, let out a meaningful sound, “Oh ↗?” 

Li Cheng’s cheeks turned hot once again.

He yelled in a gruff voice, “What nonsense are you talking about? HC1 is my territory. As the boss, if I don’t stand for justice when a student is being bullied, then others would look down on me! I’m here for my reputation, not him.”

As he said this, he threw a sidelong glance at Xiao Yiheng.

However, Xiao Yiheng’s head at this moment was bowed down as he tidied up his clothes, completely not listening at all. 

Li Cheng: Saliva can’t be wasted… He⸺ Tui! Tui! Tui!

※

As Xiao Yiheng had been delayed for quite a long time on the way home, it was already dark when he reached home.

The two elders of the Xiao family were waiting for him to eat. 

He had a scholarly family. Both Father Xiao and Mother Xiao were university lecturers. They were an extremely rare double A couple. The two were already old when a matchmaker introduced them to each other. Two months after getting married, the two went to a medical institution to synthesise an embryo. Then, they inserted the fertilised ovum into an artificial womb.

They placed high hopes towards Xiao Yiheng who was their only child. There were a lot of synthetic embryos at that time but it was only ‘him’ who was most likely to differentiate into an alpha. Just as expected, Xiao Yiheng differentiated into an alpha during his 12th birthday.

Upon seeing that Xiao Yiheng came back late, Mother Xiao solicitously asked, “Why did you come home late?”

Xiao Yiheng changed his shoes, looked down at his cuffs that had been sullied by the fight, calmly hid his sleeves and answered, “I came across a second-year student who couldn’t understand a problem. I explained it for him.” 

As Mother Xiao heard her son’s explanation, her expression eased up, “That’s good. I thought that you were staying at school again to study.”

It was usual for Xiao Yiheng to tell his parents that he had an evening self-study period whenever he wanted to paint. However, his parents felt that it wasn’t efficient to attend self-study period since the students would definitely chat a lot and influence Yiheng. Thus, Yiheng couldn’t use this excuse often.

Father Xiao uttered a grunt, put down his chopsticks before asking, “Which junior? From which class? Don’t you know that your time is extremely precious and that you wasted an hour for nothing?”

Xiao Yiheng calmly looked back at his father, “He’s a junior from the Elite Class, quite smart. The question he asked was quite profound so it took me a long time to figure it out.” 

“Haven’t I told you?! You should focus all your energy on being admitted to a university!  If a student wants your help, refuse them. If you explained it to them, what benefit would it give you?! If others learned your reasoning and their final exam results became better than yours, you won’t be able to cry even if you wanted to!”

Xiao Yiheng: “……”

Yiheng’s expression became cold and he didn’t say a word.

Mother Xiao hurriedly smoothed things over, “Knock it off. Our son is still young. How could he understand the principle of keeping things to yourself? Quieten down and don’t delay your child’s meal.” She turned to Xiao Yiheng and urged him, “Yiheng, quickly wash your hands. I asked the other lecturers today to give me examination papers for you. Answer them immediately after you finish eating then go to sleep.” 

Xiao Yiheng shut his eyes and whispered, “Thank you mom.”

He walked to his bedroom while carrying his bag.

Xiao Yiheng’s room was extremely spacious. Apart from the bed, wardrobe, desk and other necessary furniture, the most eye-catching place was the cupboards that spanned a whole side of the wall.

If Li Cheng saw this, he would definitely be stupefied and make a big fuss because each shelf was filled with numerous trophies, certificates and medals that Xiao Yiheng had received from young until now. 

Out of all these awards, not one of them was for second place. Everything was made of dazzling gold.

It was spectacular.

But, it was also… dreadful.

These awards piled up into a mountain that would remain here forever, heavily resting on his shoulders. 

In the eyes of his parents, these medals were the light that would brighten his future. He would live this life outstandingly, perfectly and brighter than anyone else.

The boy looked up at the dazzling awards and, for reasons he wasn’t sure of, his thoughts drifted to the similar display rack at the principal’s office.

The second and third shelves were filled with medals that Li Cheng had won.

As Xiao Yiheng recalled the blusterous, blonde-haired boy who had been called ‘mom’ and whose face turned bright red today, his lips curled into a faint smile. 

Xiao Yiheng thought, I wonder if one of those medals is called ‘Huacheng’s Wildest Omega’?

Ch10 - Huacheng’s Wildest Omega

Hu ge bitterly cried as he knelt in front of the two malignant stars, crying out ‘mom’ and ‘dad’. Although Hu ge would rank at the bottom when it came to fighting ability, he would definitely be at the very top of the ranking when it came to shamelessness.

The atmosphere became tense in an instant. 

Li Cheng was like a pot of boiling water with steam coming out of his ears. He subconsciously threw Xiao Yiheng a side glance, not expecting that Xiao Yiheng was also looking at him.

Li Cheng was filled with anger but had no way to release it. He could only send the gang leader in front of him flying.

Hu ge shook his head like a rattle-drum and humbly replied, “We don’t deserve to be called that. Wealthy second gens are those educated ones. At best, we could only be called ‘demolition’ second gens.”

Li Cheng’s lil’ brothers belatedly arrived. Some were holding whisk brooms, some brought folding chairs, while there were some who directly pilfered the metal plates from the cafeteria.

Yan Jing, who had been coerced to come with them, was among the crowd

When Yan Jing saw Xiao Yiheng, he immediately went over and pantingly asked, “Senior Xiao, you didn’t get injured, did you? S-sorry for running away… No, I didn’t run away! I ran back to school to call for help!” 

Being a good little boy, this was Yan Jing’s first time to be together with so many delinquents. He proudly puffed out his chest, thinking to himself, I have so many brothers now. Who would still dare to call me weakling and nerd in the future?
