Honest Beta gets scammed

He Xiangchen was speechless for a moment.

His lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and silently released his grip on Li Qing's shoulder.

Li Qing scratched the back of his head, trying to maintain a smile.

This is a shared apartment with a diverse mix of people, and he wasn't actually familiar with the other tenants.

The couple living next door seemed to have an unusually high level of energy, engaging in their "great harmony" every few days. The wall panel was as thin as paper, so Li Qing was almost forced to listen to the live broadcast whenever he was home.

Sometimes, the two people opposite would even deliberately play it for him, using him as part of their play.

Li Qing was speechless. He asked them to be quieter several times, but it was no use. However, he was too embarrassed to confront them directly over this matter. Gradually, he was able to completely ignore it. When he was alone, he could fall asleep without blushing or skipping a beat while listening to these sounds.

But things are different now.

He Xiangchen is here now.

He just can't achieve inner peace!

Li Qing's resentment towards her neighbor reached its peak at this moment.

He licked his lips, feeling he had to say something to ease the awkwardness.

"Um, what were you going to say just now?"

He Xiangchen's gaze fell on Li Qing's face, which was full of awkwardness. Seeing that the other party was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, he twitched the corner of his mouth.

"It's nothing, I just mean, you live here all by yourself?"

"Yeah, that's right, it's just me. There probably isn't room for another person here."

In order to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, he spoke and acted simultaneously.

He bent down and used all his strength to move the outermost of the three woven bags on the ground to the bed, making way for the passageway.

He had originally planned to stay here for the night since it was too late, and move out slowly tomorrow. But since He Xiangchen had come along and offered to help him, he felt bad about taking up any more of his time. So he decided to just move out that very night.

To be honest, he didn't want to stay in this place for another minute, especially after what had just happened.

The woven bags contained all of Li Qing's belongings. The quantity was not large, but the weight was considerable. When he struggled to drag the first bag onto the bed board, the old bed board creaked, causing the entire bed to shake.

After he put the third bag on the bed, the opposite wall was suddenly slapped twice.

Immediately afterwards, a mocking voice rang out, sounding sleazy.

"Dude, I know you're holding back, but don't get so worked up! Your pheromones are practically wafting over here!"

Upon hearing this, He Xiangchen's expression changed.

Only then did he belatedly realize that his pheromones had been released. He glanced at Li Qing subconsciously, then silently concealed his aura.

Li Qing had smelled He Xiangchen's pheromones from the very beginning, but as a Beta, he didn't care much about pheromones when it came to himself, so he didn't care how He Xiangchen released his pheromones.

But he never expected that his neighbor would come out and make lewd jokes because of this!

I already harbored a lot of resentment towards them, and now I can't stand it anymore.

Li Qing was furious and kicked the wall panel.

"Are you out of your mind?!"

Li Qing wasn't very good at swearing; he only used a few words over and over again.

His words clearly had no effect on the neighbors.

"Hahahaha!" Originally, only one person was speaking, but now both of them started laughing.

The person who had just spoken spoke again, his voice even more mocking.

"Hey, you still have the energy to swear? I didn't hear you yell this loud just now. Bro, are you no good? Put some effort into it!"

Li Qing's face flushed red instantly, and his lips trembled with anger.

He Xiangchen wasn't particularly angry, but listening to these foul words made him feel inexplicably strange.

His gaze swept over Li Qing, from his broad shoulders to his lean waist, and then to his long, straight legs...

Having probably witnessed it with his own eyes, for a fleeting moment, Li Qing appeared to him as if he were completely naked.

He paused, his breath catching in his throat, and gently looked away.

The people next door were still making lewd jokes without restraint, clearly finding amusement in Li Qing's angry and helpless reaction.

He Xiangchen's eyes darkened.

Pheromones quietly gathered and seeped into the adjacent space through the gaps in the wall panels.

"Shut up."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the sounds from next door came to an abrupt halt.

Seeing that the other side had finally stopped talking, Li Qing turned to look at He Xiangchen in surprise. He had said so much, but the other side just wouldn't shut up. He Xiangchen only used one sentence to completely shut up those two annoying people.

He felt a little resentful, but quickly put those feelings aside and apologized to He Xiangchen instead.

"I'm sorry, but they...they're so vulgar."

He Xiangchen glanced at him and saw that his face was still slightly flushed and his eyes were lowered.

"Is this all? Let's go."

Without waiting for Li Qing's reaction, he stepped forward, dragged the two heaviest woven bags off the bed with one hand, and carried them out.

"Hey, it's too heavy, give me one!" Seeing this, Li Qing quickly picked up the remaining one and followed.

"Let's go, it's getting late."

The two went downstairs one after the other and stuffed all the woven bags into the trunk.

We got back on the road and drove towards the Twilight Nebula dormitory.

The carriage remained silent throughout the journey.

Li Qing felt incredibly embarrassed and ashamed.

He Xiangchen suddenly realized that he might be a bit vulgar.

He glanced at Li Qing discreetly and found that the other party was genuinely unhappy, with furrowed brows and pursed lips, looking utterly devastated.

He Xiangchen pursed his lips.

Installed.

The car arrived at its destination quickly.

He Xiangchen helped Li Qing unload the woven bags from the car and then carried them into the dormitory.

Upon entering, He Xiangchen looked around.

This is a standard small studio apartment with one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. It's not large, but the decor is simple and clean, and it's fully furnished with all the necessary appliances.

In the past, He Xiangchen would have thought this place was pitifully small, but everything is relative. After seeing the rental house on Changgu Street, he now finds this small apartment quite nice.

He glanced at his watch; it was almost one in the morning.

He Xiangchen frowned, feeling that he had indeed wasted too much time on this country bumpkin today, and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

However, at this moment, Li Qing made the bed and came out of the bedroom.

Looking at He Xiangchen standing in the living room, she felt grateful and a little embarrassed.

"Thank you so much for today, you treated me to dinner and helped me move... It's so late, and it's not safe to be out on the streets, why don't you stay the night?"

He Xiangchen: "..."
