FIMA Ch2: Wasted

The voice of the young Alpha who had just gone through puberty was unexpectedly deep and hoarse, with a hint of an unspoken allure.

Xie Qingxiao, in his arms, was momentarily stunned and forgot to stand up.

“Tap… Tap…”

Footsteps sounded, and the light in front of Gu Siyuan and Xie Qingxiao was slightly blocked as two tall figures appeared not far in front of them.

“Sorry, sorry, I just entered the classroom and couldn’t hold the ball steady!” Huang Cheng jogged over to pick up the basketball, lightly patting it while grinning apologetically.

Xie Qingxiao frowned, wanting to say something, but when he saw Shen Ting’s handsome face beside Huang Cheng, his expression cooled slightly, and he said, “I believe you didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Yeah.” Huang Cheng grinned sheepishly.

He then pointed at their odd position and said, “You guys are…”

Xie Qingxiao finally realized something and instantly slipped off Gu Siyuan’s lap.

Simultaneously, his pretty face changed slightly, and he looked at Shen Ting, seemingly seeking some reaction.

Shen Ting raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, smiling nonchalantly, “As long as you’re okay.”

The young Alpha, full of spirit, with a handsome face, looked even more vibrant after exercising, making the hearts of many Betas and Omegas flutter.

But as Shen Ting’s boyfriend, Xie Qingxiao felt a speechless bitterness, both for Shen Ting’s generosity and his indifference…

“Hey…” At this moment, a magnetic male voice, accompanied by the sound of knuckles tapping the desk, interrupted everyone’s thoughts.

The people involved looked towards Gu Siyuan, who had spoken.

Gu Siyuan ignored the stares, casually raising an eyebrow at Huang Cheng and pointing at the books and papers on the floor.

Huang Cheng, jolted by his light gaze, reacted instantly, bending down to pick up the items knocked down by the basketball.

With this interruption, Xie Qingxiao also snapped out of his thoughts and began tidying up his messy desk.

Shen Ting, sensing something, scrutinized Gu Siyuan.

In his impression, Gu Siyuan was the favorite student of every teacher and the pride of Beichuan High, but he was always gloomy and cold, clearly not someone on the same path as them. Despite being classmates for nearly three years, Shen Ting had hardly ever spoken to him.

But now, this person, though outwardly unchanged, gave off a completely different vibe… a restrained yet proud contradiction, with an especially imposing presence.

Shen Ting, who had always been more imposing than most of his peer Alphas, felt, for the first time, that someone could match him.

“Alright, I’ll leave it here.” Huang Cheng quickly picked up everything and piled it back on Gu Siyuan and Xie Qingxiao’s desk.

“Okay.” Gu Siyuan didn’t insist on having him organize it further, fearing it might get even messier.

Seeing the issue resolved, Shen Ting returned to his seat.

At this moment, Xie Qingxiao suddenly stopped tidying up, as if drained of all energy. He rested his chin on the stack of books, lost in thought.

Gu Siyuan noticed Xie Qingxiao’s despondent look out of the corner of his eye. Recalling the story the system had transmitted to him, he suddenly raised his hand to touch his seemingly still warm knee and let out a light laugh.

“Heh…”

Xie Qingxiao, sensitive in his current emotional state, naturally heard this laugh clearly and immediately looked up at him.

His black and white eyes, previously devoid of emotion, were now filled with a dazzling light, complementing his exquisitely picturesque face, making him incredibly alluring.

Gu Siyuan raised an eyebrow and thought to himself that in his previous life, aside from studying, he was focused on making money and building his career, paying little attention to everything around him. He vaguely knew that his Omega deskmate in high school was supposedly a great beauty.

But unfortunately, for some reason, this beautiful deskmate suddenly dropped out before the college entrance exams, and he never heard from him again.

Of course, now he knew the reason.

Gu Siyuan leaned lazily against the back of his chair, glancing again at Xie Qingxiao’s bright and stunning face.

Such a pitiable, pure soul crushed in the dust… buried under a single night’s cold rain.

Therefore, high school seniors should focus on their studies. Falling in love only ruins one’s life, wasting such a good appearance.

“What… what do you mean by that look?” Xie Qingxiao’s tone was unfriendly. As he spoke, he subconsciously straightened his back, unwilling to let anyone see his vulnerability.

The simple white shirt of his school uniform became even straighter due to his movement, but his thin waist and backline added a unique sense of purity rather than imposing any extra presence.

Especially when Xie Qingxiao looked at anyone other than Shen Ting, his slightly upturned almond eyes sparkled even more, making people want to bring him down to the mud.

“Hm? Are you talking to me? I was looking at the scenery outside.” Gu Siyuan pushed up his black-framed glasses and casually changed the topic, his sharp and lightly mocking gaze hidden completely.

Angering the mission target right after arriving was not a good choice.

Xie Qingxiao was momentarily speechless, clearly taken aback by Gu Siyuan’s straightforward and unflinching attitude.

At the same time, he felt some regret for his earlier harsh tone.

He was not usually an impulsive person, but whenever Shen Ting was involved, it was hard to stay calm. Perhaps it was because he lacked confidence in Shen Ting’s feelings for him, causing him to take it out on others…

Regardless of whether Gu Siyuan was mocking him, he shouldn’t have acted like that. It only made him look petty.

The first class in the afternoon was English.

The English teacher, who was also their homeroom teacher, was always strict with them. She walked into the classroom right on the bell, not wasting a second.

By their senior year, the content of the textbooks had long been finished, and they were mostly working on various test papers.

Especially since their school had just finished monthly exams last week, this week’s classes were focused on analyzing and discussing the test papers after the results were released.

English class was no exception.

Gu Siyuan looked at the English test paper with handwriting that matched his own but was relatively immature, and memories gradually surfaced in his mind.

He casually went through the test paper. His score was quite good—149 points, with just one point deducted for the essay.

He read through it carefully.

It was a straightforward description, using a few relatively complex sentence structures and some novel words and phrases for a high school student. The essay had no errors but also lacked any standout features.

Whether that one point was deducted or not didn’t really matter.

Gu Siyuan stopped dwelling on it and flipped to the previous page.

The English teacher, Miss Zhang, was explaining the reading comprehension on that page. Miss Zhang was a very energetic person and liked to move around the classroom while going over the papers.

At that moment, she walked to the back of the classroom. “Bang…” Her pointer landed on the desks of two students. She looked at them with a cold smile and said, “Sleeping well, aren’t we?”
