Who Says Omegas Can’t be as Explosive as Alphas

g.

 

Perhaps due to the temporary bonding mark, even such casual contact still made him feel like his territory was being invaded.
Claiming to wash away the smell of alcohol was just an excuse; it was this other Alpha’s scent that truly bothered him.

 

Without saying anything, Wen Xingchen reached out and pulled Lu Jingning up from the bed, half-smiling, half-sarcastic, “If you really don’t want to move, I have a suggestion.”

 

Lu Jingning subconsciously grabbed his hand and gently rubbed it twice before blurting out in a daze, “Hmm? Tell me.”

 

Wen Xingchen paused for a moment, then leaned in slightly, smiling faintly, “How about I help you wash up?” 

 

Lu Jingning: “…”

 

He fell silent for a moment, then nodded happily, “Okay, you wash me up!” 

 

Wen Xingchen: “…”

 

After that, he lifted Lu Jingning and carried him into the bathroom.

 

Opening the glass door of the shower room, Wen Xingchen promptly placed Lu Jingning on the floor and turned on the showerhead.
As the warm water cascaded down from above, he turned around and walked out.

 

A calm voice came through from behind the bathroom door, “I can only help you up to this point.
From here on, you’re on your own.”

 

Lu Jingning was suddenly drenched by the water, dispersing a good deal of the hazy drunkenness.
Despite feeling a bit dazed, he realized that in this situation, he had no choice but to wash up; he even considered storming out to find someone to fight with. 

 

“Darn it, what kind of lousy room service is this? Absolutely terrible!”

 

…

 

The next day, Lu Jingning arrived at the competition venue almost with a face full of dissatisfaction.
His expression turned even worse when he saw Wen Xingchen.
He walked past without even acknowledging him or saying hello.

 

Wen Ye noticed the difference in their attitudes and couldn’t help glancing at Wen Xingchen, who appeared unfazed.
He asked, “Did you have a fight?”

 

In his mind, after what happened on the mothership, he considered Lu Jingning half a part of the Wen family.
With this understanding of his younger brother, he rarely paid much attention to these things.

 

Wen Xingchen replied calmly, “Nothing much, the kid is just in a bad mood.”

 

Wen Ye glanced at Lu Jingning’s expression and thought, “Looks like he’s really angry.”

 

After confirming that everyone had gathered, Jihan led the exchange team into the Heavy Cloud Sports Arena, where today’s event was the practical combat, which was still a team competition in strict terms.

 

According to the rules, each school could select three participants.
The draw would decide the order of matches, with A facing B, B facing C, C facing D, and D facing A, proceeding with two-on-two battles.
The winners would keep their spots and wait for the next round, while the losers would be directly eliminated.
Each victory would earn one point, and a school whose three participants were all eliminated would be knocked out.
The practical combat competition would only officially end after the final round determined the ultimate winner.

 

Under such rules, both individual strength and team composition were severe tests, and luck in the draw significantly influenced the final result.
As a result, all schools attached tremendous importance to this aspect.

 

As per the initial discussion, the most favorable position was to be the last to participate in Group D.
If lucky, they could preserve their strength better in this round-robin format.

 

After the two commentators on the platform finished explaining the specific rules, the much-awaited draw was about to begin.

 

Normally, the team captains would participate in this process, but Wen Ye proposed, “Let someone else do it.”

 

Seeing that Wen Ye was not going up, and considering the importance of the matter, no one volunteered right away.

 

Finally, Cen Junfeng spoke up first, “How about we let Lu Jingning do it?”

 

This suggestion was met with approval from others, thinking it was a good idea.

 

However, today, Lu Jingning, who usually loved attention, seemed disinterested.
He nonchalantly said, “Not interested, I won’t go.
Let whoever wants to go, go.”

 

Cen Junfeng looked at him strangely, “Didn’t you say you wanted to be the most dazzling Omega on the field? Why don’t you want to go now? Tell me honestly, are you doing this on purpose against me?”

 

Lu Jingning retorted, “Rest assured, you’re not important enough to be the target of my actions.
But if you insist on thinking that way, I don’t mind.”

 

Cen Junfeng was so exasperated that his nose twitched, “You’re definitely doing this to oppose me!”

 

Bing Yunlin looked at their dispute and smiled as he turned to Wen Xingchen, “Don’t you have anything to say?”

 

Wen Xingchen initially had no intention of participating but, under Bing Yunlin’s gaze, he spoke calmly, “The draw ceremony is often the time to boost morale.
As a crucial member of our exchange team, it would be regrettable not to let everyone admire the grand appearance of an amazing Omega at this moment.
Don’t you think so?”

 

Originally determined, Lu Jingning suddenly turned around and glanced at him, “Are you serious?”

 

Cen Junfeng: “…”

 

Is that even a question? No matter how you interpret those words, they sound like a joke!

 

Yet, Wen Xingchen smiled faintly, “From the bottom of my heart.”

 

Lu Jingning was lightly flattered by his flattery, and some of the dissatisfaction from being randomly drenched the night before dissipated.

 

After some thought, he nodded in agreement, “You make a lot of sense.
I suddenly feel that only I can shoulder this heavy responsibility!”

 

Cen Junfeng: “…”

 

He never imagined that this bullshit method would work.
He had gained some knowledge today!
