Chapter 72: How Much Potential?

Gu Xiao saw Lu Shanchuan, who had just torn open Shu Lin’s shirt, suddenly go limp and pass out.

Shu Lin laboriously pushed Lu Shanchuan off him, gasping for breath, and slowly stood up.

He seemed a little dazed, like a puppy looking for its tail, turning around in place a couple of times before noticing Gu Xiao standing outside the recording studio.

He was first stunned, then he showed a simple and honest smile that said, “I’m okay.”

Gu Xiao stared at him in astonishment, his gaze sliding down from his disheveled hair, to the bite marks on his neck where Lu Shanchuan had bitten him.

Further down was his torn shirt, revealing his attractive collarbones and the faint outline of his fair chest.

All over it were bite marks, row upon row.

Shocking.

Gu Xiao stared intently at those bite marks, his pupils dilating, then dilating further.

Shu Lin followed his gaze and looked at himself, instantly blushing.

He hurriedly turned around, facing away from Gu Xiao, clumsily pulling at his torn hoodie.

This piece of clothing was ruined.

A roar came a moment later: “Open the door for me!”

Shu Lin’s shoulders trembled, facing away from the glass window, he crab-walked to the door like a lame crab, froze there, and stopped moving.

“Open the door quickly!” Another roar.

Shu Lin steeled his heart, closed his eyes, and opened the door, only to be yanked out and crashed into a trembling embrace.

“You fucking scared me to death…” Gu Xiao’s voice trembled.

After saying that, he shielded Shu Lin, and with trembling hands, quickly locked the recording studio door, took off his jacket, wrapped it tightly around Shu Lin, glared at him, and said unhappily:

“I’ll deal with you later.”

Finding the spare first-aid kit, he disinfected the bite wound on Shu Lin’s neck with iodine, applied a medical band-aid, and soon after, the police and ambulance arrived.

The others in the recording studio came up one after another, and seeing the unconscious Lu Shanchuan and the unharmed Teacher Feng, they felt it was unbelievable.

“Let’s go, find a place, and make an honest confession.”

Gu Xiao dragged Shu Lin, who wanted to slip away, into the elevator.

Just as they got off the elevator, Shu Lin’s phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID.

It was Shao Chengxi.

Shu Lin stole a glance at Gu Xiao’s dark face and hung up the phone.

He never wanted to see this hateful Alpha again.

Liar!

The two settled down in a private room in a nearby restaurant with a nice ambiance.

Gu Xiao was ordering, and Shu Lin wanted to get up, but was stopped by Gu Xiao:

“Where are you going? Let me tell you, don’t even think about slipping away. If you dare to slip away, the little boat of our friendship will capsize.”

Seeming not satisfied, he added fiercely:

“No, it’ll be rotten, completely rotten, the kind that can never be repaired for all eternity, you decide for yourself.”

Shu Lin scratched the back of his head and muttered, “I’m going to the restroom to tidy up a bit.”

His hoodie was torn, and his body was covered in Lu Shanchuan’s pheromones, he had to clean up.

Gu Xiao looked at him for a few seconds, and finally waved his hand, mercifully giving him the go-ahead, “Go quickly and come back quickly, don’t run, got it?”

“Won’t run…”

Discovering that this restaurant had a special pheromone purification room, Shu Lin went in, took off his broken hoodie, and was removing the pheromones from his body when Shao Chengxi’s phone call came in again.

He stared at the screen for a while, didn’t answer, set the phone to silent, and put it away.

After removing the pheromones, he returned to the private room wearing Gu Xiao’s jacket.

Seeing Shu Lin return, Gu Xiao pushed a glass of warm water towards him, “Drink some water first.”

“Thank you.” Shu Lin glanced at him guiltily, picked up the glass, and lowered his eyes to drink.

The meal had been ordered, and only the two of them were left in the private room.

Shu Lin knew that what was coming would eventually come.

He finished the water in one gulp, raised his eyes, and looked directly at Gu Xiao sitting across from him.

It was meal time, and the restaurant didn’t serve quickly. Before their food was served, Shu Lin told Gu Xiao his true identity.

A moment of silence.

“You… you’re a US-Class Omega?”

Gu Xiao finally found his voice, his tone full of disbelief:

“Babe, are you kidding me? There aren’t many Omegas of this level in the entire Imperial Capital, how could you possibly be…”

Shu Lin lowered his head, “It’s true. I didn’t lie to you.”

Gu Xiao stared at him, pursed his lips, then pursed them again, unable to speak for a long time, working hard to digest the information.

After a while, he scratched his hair and suddenly realized:

“No wonder you dared to break into the recording studio.”

“No wonder even an A-class Alpha like Lu Shanchuan could be knocked unconscious by you.”

“No wonder you have a face that could bring disaster to the world, but you’re just a B-class Omega.”

“No wonder, ah, no wonder, no wonder…”

He just kept saying “no wonder.”

Shu Lin: “Uh…”

Suddenly, Gu Xiao looked nervous again, lowering his voice and saying:

“Babe, listen carefully, you must protect this huge secret of ours, don’t let anyone know.”

“You and I will say the same thing. If anyone asks, we’ll say that the two of us worked together to knock Lu Shanchuan unconscious to save Teacher Feng.”

“I saw that Teacher Feng was unconscious when he was rescued, he doesn’t remember anything.”

“And the surveillance cameras were blocked by the two of us, no one can see anything, so it should be fine.”

Shu Lin nodded repeatedly, “We’ll do as you say.”

After speaking, Gu Xiao started staring at Shu Lin again, looking at him with a strange and astonished gaze.

He just looked without speaking, making Shu Lin’s whole body tingle, “Wh-What are you looking at me like that for?”

Gu Xiao blurted out, leaned across the table to Shu Lin’s face, and scrutinized him like a microscope.

Then, he kept clicking his tongue:

“Babe, I’ve gotten to know you all over again today.”

“You’re clearly a good boy, but I didn’t expect you to have such a reckless side.”

“Babe, you’re really brave, no, brave and careful, you even thought of blocking the surveillance cameras before saving people.”

“Oh my god, US-Class Omegas are really amazing, you knocked an A-class Alpha unconscious in one go.”

“I really don’t know how much potential you US-Class Omega have, and which other Alphas you can take down?”

Shu Lin’s eyes lit up.

That’s right, that’s right.

If he practiced deliberately, could he suppress even more Alphas?

He might not even be afraid of S-Class Alphas.

Hadn’t he suppressed Shao Chengxi before?

If that was really the case, he wouldn’t have to fear any Alpha in the future.

A still unformed idea suddenly came to Shu Lin’s mind.

Gu Xiao was still looking at him in disbelief, jokingly saying:

“Babe, to seal my mouth, you’ll have to give me two extra chicken legs in the future.”

Shu Lin laughed: “Sure, as many as you can eat, as long as you can eat them all.”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the topic ended there.

Next, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The two were silent, and the private room fell quiet.

Shu Lin knew that the next step was to talk about the bite marks on his body.

These bite marks were all from Shao Chengxi’s drunken bites last night.

Shu Lin’s skin was fair and tender, so it looked exaggerated, but it would actually be fine by the afternoon.

If it were like before, and Gu Xiao only discovered the hickey on his neck, he could still excuse it by saying that he was just dating an Alpha.

But today, Gu Xiao had seen the love marks on his private and sensitive areas, and everyone knew what was going on.

If he continued to be perfunctory with Gu Xiao, he really wouldn’t be treating him as a friend.

But how was he supposed to bring it up?
