Honest Beta gets scammed

Thinking this, He Xiangchen sat quietly in the dark for a while with a stern face. Finally, he glanced at Li Qing, who was still staring at him with his eyes open like a fool, waiting for new instructions, and said irritably.

"Go to sleep!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing slowly closed his eyes, his body slumped, and he fell asleep again.

After Li Qing fell asleep, He Xiangchen finally stopped deceiving himself, silently lay back on the bed, and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.

He realized that everything he had been thinking today was just his own overthinking; Li Qing really meant nothing.

But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Wouldn't that make him seem ridiculous? Like he's just being delusional?

Damn it! That damned Li Qing! He didn't do it on purpose?!

……

Li Qing slept until dawn, only to be woken up by her phone alarm.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed, still half asleep. He felt a heat source next to him and realized he wasn't sleeping alone. He yawned and turned to look at He Xiangchen.

Upon seeing it, he was so frightened that he shuddered and all his sleepiness vanished instantly.

He Xiangchen stared at me with wide eyes, his whites bloodshot, his expression dark and menacing.

Seeing Li Qing looking over, He Xiangchen also sat up from the bed, reached up and grabbed a handful of hair, his low mood intensifying.

This person clearly didn't sleep well.

Li Qing scratched her cheek and asked softly, "Was it because I slept in a bad position last night that I disturbed you?"

He Xiangchen looked at Li Qing's full, rosy face from sleeping and forced a smile: "No, I'm a bit of a light sleeper."

Upon hearing that it wasn't his fault, Li Qing felt much relieved. He threw back the covers and got out of bed, saying, "That's good. I'll go wash up first."

He has a performance class arranged by Guan Li today, so he can't be late.

He Xiangchen hummed in response but did not speak.

Once Li Qing's figure disappeared through the doorway, his pretense completely crumbled.

He was restless and agitated last night, tossing and turning, and didn't close his eyes at all!

This was a minor matter for him, because he suffered from insomnia for many years due to the pain in his mental sea and didn't sleep much.

But it really does cause internal heat!

But you can't target Li Qingfa.

He Xiangchen rubbed his temples, swallowed his anger, got out of bed, and went to the living room. He immediately saw Li Qing washing up in the bathroom.

The bathroom door was open, and Li Qing was bending over brushing his teeth. His two long legs were exposed, just like yesterday, swaying slightly as he brushed his teeth.

He Xiangchen's gaze sharpened slightly.

After washing up, Li Qing straightened up and casually wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth with the hem of her T-shirt.

A small wet patch appeared on his chest. The old T-shirt, already a bit thin, clung tightly to his chest when wet, clearly outlining the full, firm muscles beneath.

He Xiangchen stared for a few seconds, then abruptly looked away, his anger rising.

It's completely pointless, and they keep doing this kind of thing all the time!

Does this Beta even know what it means to avoid suspicion?

Mr. Li, a pure Beta, was clearly unaware of this.

After washing up, he went straight back to his bedroom, picked up the clothes he was going to wear that day, and came out. Under He Xiangchen's gaze, he walked to the center of the living room, took off his T-shirt, and casually threw it into the washing machine.

His young and powerful body was laid bare before He Xiangchen's eyes.

He Xiangchen gasped, his eyes widening in shock.

Li Qing was completely unaware of this. He quickly put on clean clothes and then turned to look at He Xiangchen, who was still standing there motionless. Seeing him staring at him, he thought He Xiangchen was still asleep and smiled as he reminded him, "I bought you new toiletries yesterday, they're all in here. Go on, I'll make breakfast, noodles for you, do you want some?"

Here's some for you to eat...

A simple sentence took on a different meaning after it went through He Xiangchen's mind.

His eyes twitched, his lips trembled twice, and finally he managed to squeeze out a single word through his teeth.

"eat."

"Okay!" Li Qing nodded and happily turned to go to the kitchen.

He Xiangchen looked at Li Qing and felt a sudden toothache. He stood there for a while before going into the bathroom.

When he finished washing up and came out, a rich aroma was already wafting from the kitchen.

A moment later, Li Qing came out carrying two large bowls. A fried egg sat atop the steaming noodles, sprinkled with chopped green onions, making them look incredibly appetizing.

"Come on, eat up."

Li Qing placed one of the bowls in front of He Xiangchen.

He Xiangchen was still holding back his anger. He pulled out a chair, sat down, and picked up his chopsticks, preparing to eat a few bites without saying a word.

However, his expression lit up the moment the noodles entered his mouth.

It tastes pretty good!

He Xiangchen muttered to himself, and before he knew it, he was eating noodles faster. After finishing one bowl, he licked his lips with a lingering sense of satisfaction, then stood up and filled another bowl for himself in the pot.

Li Qing knew he had a big appetite, so he cooked a large pot of noodles. He thought He Xiangchen had a small appetite and wouldn't eat much, but he was quite surprised to see him actually ask for a second bowl.

Seeing how much He Xiangchen was enjoying his meal, he was quite pleased and asked with a smile, "Is that enough? Should I make another pot?"

At this moment, He Xiangchen realized how much he had already eaten, and the second bowl in front of him was almost empty. He felt a little strange.

He Xiangchen is a picky eater, and there are very few dishes that suit his taste. He rarely touches noodles, but today he actually ate two bowls here.

He looked at Li Qing, this time with genuine praise: "You're a great cook, aren't you?"

Li Qing was a little embarrassed by the praise and smiled, "I'm not really that good at it, I just figure things out and cook whatever comes to mind."

Li Qing has been cooking for his family since he was a child. He himself is a foodie, and when he grows up, he will study recipes in his spare time.

To be honest, he thinks that many restaurants outside don't cook as well as he does!

However, after coming to the capital, the kitchen of the rented apartment was too small, and he was busy with work before, so he had been making do with whatever he could find outside. Now that he has moved to a new apartment with a fully equipped kitchen, he is naturally happy to cook for himself.

He Xiangchen smiled.

"It's really delicious."

At least for this bowl of noodles, he thought it tasted better than what his family's chef made.

Li Qing was very happy to be praised like that, and cheerfully scooped out the rest of the noodles from the pot. The two of them ate them all up.

After finishing breakfast, He Xiangchen's anger had mostly subsided, and the two went downstairs together.

The Twilight Nebula wasn't far from here, only a few minutes' walk away, so He Xiangchen didn't see him off and drove away directly.
