Chapter 50.2

HOYSE 50 – What Goes Around Comes Around

Meanwhile, on his way home, Rong Jing, feeling fatigued after just marking an Omega, fell into a light sleep in the back seat of the car. The marking process was a physical and mental exertion for both parties, especially for an Alpha, whose mental strength could be affected. The first time often left them exhausted.

Yet, he couldn’t deny it was also a form of extreme pleasure for him.

In his dreams, he saw images from his childhood—moments of sadness when his busy parents neglected him, birthday parties thrown to cheer him up, his elder sister staying up all night playing video games with him when he was down, and his second sister proudly announcing on stage that he was her pride after he won his first award…

A voice asked him, you want to go back, don’t you? If that is what you wish, give me control of your body now…

Rong Jing’s heart softened, and he was about to agree when he paused.

Why do I need to give up my body to go back? If I want to return, shouldn’t I just be sent back the way I came?

Rong Jing woke up abruptly, gasping for air.

“Mr. Xie said there’s a dinner tonight and that you should attend, saying that it’s a good opportunity to network,” Zhou You told him.

Rong Jing nodded. It was typical of Xie Ling’s assertive style.

Just then, he received a message from Ji Leping, asking if he could return to the university because his former dorm mate said he left something behind.

Rong Jing recalled that the original soul had cleared out everything. He replied: What did I forget?

Ji Leping: Just come over, it won’t take much time.

Rong Jing: Just say it, what’s the matter?

Ji Leping: You’re too hard to deceive. I’m just being a messenger here, but I don’t know if you’ll regret not coming.

Rong Jing: What could I possibly regret?

After exiting the chat, Rong Jing glanced at his WeChat app. Their class group chat was unusually active, with messages exceeding 99+.

Rong Jing was added to the group but was mostly a lurker. Scrolling through, he didn’t find anything significant.

Ji Leping: !!!

Rong Jing: ?

Ji Leping: Unrelated to earlier, but you’re going viral!!! Check Weibo now, look at what’s trending!

At the same time, a few classmates who had added him as a friend after joining the group also messaged him, saying similar things.

Rong Jing opened Weibo, noticing only one topic in the top ten that caught his eye: #Lou Ta Film Crew#. Clicking on it revealed some behind the scene photos and several fashionable airport photos of Gu Xi. Even without filters, he looked stunning with his slim waist, long legs and fair skin.

Rong Jing saved a few photos, his mind briefly recalling a heated encounter in a secluded place.

Then he saw the 25th trending topic: #Airport’s Thor#. It was tagged as new. The word airport immediately grabbed his attention.

The post was by a user named Limping Immortal, featuring a short video. The caption read: I was so scared, I thought I saw the God of Thunder!

Rong Jing hadn’t even clicked play yet but could already see his own figure in the video thumbnail, making his eyelid twitch.

The video was shot from a low angle, with its background the sound of roaring thunder and the dark sky outside the airport. The footage was a bit blurry and shaky. Initially, you could hear the girl filming saying, “This weather is so freaky. Let me take a video for my friends.”

Another voice interrupted, “Film that guy over there!”

After a moment of camera shake, the subsequent scene showed deafening rain and thunder that seemed capable of shattering the terminal building. In the frame, a man behind a tall Alpha cowered on the ground in fear. Just as people were about to laugh, the central figure in the video looked up coldly at the sky.

He showed no emotion, but his presence was so strong, it almost broke through the screen.

My goodness, that was so fierce!

Due to the upward angle of the shot, only three-quarters of the man’s profile could be seen, but his chiseled, deep-set features were strikingly handsome. 

At the end of the video, a female voice intruded: Why the f*cking hell am I only 1.5 meters tall? Compared to him, I look like an unripe little yam! I couldn’t capture Thor’s great aura at all!

The comment section was buzzing.

[Limping Immortal]: When this guy entered the airport, so many people were looking at him. But he didn’t look at anyone! Please give me an Alpha like this who loves no one!!!

[NoriBite]: Wasn’t it sunny today? My friend said there was suddenly a weird wind near the airport, almost blew her and her car away *dog head emoji*

[Gossip Squad]: I didn’t realize the God of Thunder was actually this handsome? This guy looks like he walked out of a manga!

[Little Stardust]: Can I only see this in the airport? OMG!

[DissipatedLife]: I need all the information about this Alpha right now!

[YoHaHa]: Why does no one think he could be a Beta? Are you judging gender by looks?

[XiXiYouAreMySunshine]: Did the government already match this handsome guy to someone, or can I claim him myself?

[SunkenSun]: With features this sharp, don’t you think that’s ZR?

[Chik]: Ah, whatever! I need to see him again! Crowdfund to get him to debut!

Rong Jing scrolled through the comments, thinking that this kind of passing popularity would soon die down. He had forgotten that in his previous life, he frequently trended on social media, making him a top trending subject. He didn’t pay much attention to it.

Entering the elevator with Zhou You, Rong Jing asked, “What does ZR mean?”

Zhou You pondered, “Plastic surgery?”

Rong Jing: “…..”

Meanwhile, Gu Xi had taken another nap. After his mischievous act, he kept waiting for Chu Yang’s reaction.

However, ever since Chu Yang drank the sprite, he had fallen into a deep sleep and hadn’t woken up.

Gu Xi wasn’t sure if Chu Yang was pretending or if it was the effect of switching the drinks. Everything would only be clear when he woke up.

Undoubtedly, if there were any issues, the original victim would have been Gu Xi. So Gu Xi didn’t feel much guilt about it.

Suddenly, Chu Yang opened his eyes. Perhaps he had slept too long, as the flight was nearing its end.

The girl next to him, seeing him finally wake up, patted her chest in relief, “I’m glad you woke up. I was about to call the flight attendant to check on you.”

Chu Yang looked at her, a vague memory surfacing, but his head hurt, and he couldn’t recall things clearly. He coldly said, “”Who the hell are you? Where do you get off looking at me like that? Go look in the mirror and see what you look like!”

The girl had chatted pleasantly with Chu Yang when boarding, finding him sunny and polite, and had even planned to ask for his number after the flight. She hadn’t expected him to suddenly insult her, as if he had become a different person.

Although she wasn’t a top beauty, she had decent features and came from a wealthy family. Being rich and less beautiful didn’t mean she owed him anything, right?

Gu Xi, who was listening to music with his bluetooth earphones, was sketching some musical notes on paper. Mo Dian tugged on his sleeve, prompting him to remove his earphones and notice the escalating argument ahead.

The argument escalated as neither side backed down, each volleying insults at the other. The seemingly mild-mannered girl suddenly slapped Chu Yang with such force that the sound reverberated through the first-class cabin.

All eyes turned towards them, witnessing the bright red handprint on Chu Yang’s cheek, a clear sign of the girl’s fury.

Gu Xi couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.

Gu Xi: Ha.

What goes around comes around.
