FIMA Ch25: Extra

“Xie Qingxiao, New Year’s is only a three-day holiday, and you’re still going back to your hometown? Your home is in Jiangnan, right? That’s quite far.”

In the Omega boys’ dormitory at University Z, a roommate asked the person who was bending over packing a suitcase.

“Mn, New Year’s Day happens to be my high school’s anniversary, so I’m going back to attend it,” the young man squatting on the floor looked up, directly revealing that unearthly, stunning face.

The Omega who spoke couldn’t help but gasp. Even though almost a whole semester had passed, he still couldn’t help being captivated by his roommate’s beauty.

It was no wonder those Alphas at school still chased after him all day long, even after Xie Qingxiao had announced he had a boyfriend.

Xie Qingxiao quickly finished packing his things. Carrying a backpack and pulling a suitcase, he prepared to head out.

His roommate was a warm-hearted person. He stood up and said, “Let me help you carry the suitcase. Sigh, we can probably change dorms in our sophomore year. This godforsaken place doesn’t even have an elevator for seven floors…”

“No need, it’s too much trouble for you, and the suitcase isn’t that heavy,” Xie Qingxiao smiled and shook his head.

“It’s fine. It’s almost 12 o’clock anyway, I’ll go down and grab lunch on the way,” the roommate directly grabbed half of the suitcase handle. “Let’s go!”

Although Xie Qingxiao seemed to have a slightly cold temperament, he helped him a lot with his studies on normal days. Plus, with such a great beauty around, even though he himself was an Omega, just looking at him all day was refreshing to the heart and mind.

With both Xie Qingxiao and his roommate carrying the suitcase, it was indeed much easier. They chatted all the way down the seven floors.

During the summer vacation after the college entrance exam, Yuanxing Technology’s company headquarters moved to City B. After all, this was the political and economic center of the country.

Xie Qingxiao’s college entrance exam preferences also listed City B, so the two of them were still in the same city.

The only unbeautiful thing was that their University Z mandated that freshmen must live on campus for the first semester, so Xie Qingxiao and his boyfriend’s cohabitation plan was delayed quite a bit.

Perhaps because New Year’s Day was approaching, the campus of University Z was very lively today.

As soon as the two walked out of the dormitory building, they were hit full in the face by the approaching New Year atmosphere, and their moods inexplicably grew fervent.

However, there were always people who spoiled the fun.

“Qingxiao, Happy New Year!”

Looking at the large bouquet of fresh flowers thrust in front of his face, Xie Qingxiao couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

Then, he said to the person behind the flowers, “Thank you, Senior, but please take the flowers back.”

Over the past half year, he had had quite a few pursuers, and Zhang Wenyu was the one who annoyed him the most.

Looking at the person’s face, cold and beautiful as ice and snow, Zhang Wenyu not only didn’t give up, but his heart itched even more.

He himself was good-looking and had good family conditions. A local of Beijing, his parents ran a law firm, and he was the vice president of the student union of the Finance College. Since entering the school, he had been a prominent figure, constantly pursued by Omegas, but he hadn’t taken a liking to a single one. Until the freshmen enrolled, and he saw Xie Qingxiao at first glance.

“Qingxiao, I don’t mean anything else, I just want to wish you a Happy New Year!”

“Mn, I’ve received it,” Xie Qingxiao nodded and said coldly, “Now please excuse me, I have to go.”

This tone was too stiff, and Zhang Wenyu’s expression turned a bit ugly.

The few classmates who came with him, and the onlookers nearby, couldn’t help but feel it was unfair for him.

This area of dormitory buildings housed students from the Finance College. Zhang Wenyu was the vice president of the Finance College’s student union, and he was generally considered generous in his daily life. He had always been quite popular, not to mention there might be some among the onlookers who had a favorable impression of him.

“Zhang Wenyu has been pretty patient with you this past half year, right?”
“Xie Qingxiao, how can you treat a senior with this attitude?”
“Isn’t it just being a bit better looking, why put on such airs? Zhang Wenyu’s conditions are good enough, aren’t they?”

Xie Qingxiao narrowed his eyes, his expression growing even colder: “I’ve said it many times, I have a boyfriend. Are you guys so enthusiastic about interfering in other people’s relationships?”

Zhang Wenyu had long heard that Xie Qingxiao had a boyfriend.

But he never took it seriously. Xie Qingxiao was now a freshman; even if he really had a boyfriend, wasn’t it just someone he dated in high school? What kind of good Alphas could he have met in high school?

In today’s society, it’s natural selection and survival of the fittest. The most outstanding Alphas should occupy the best and most optimal Omega resources. If a person like Xie Qingxiao were with an ordinary Alpha, wouldn’t that be a pearl covered in dust?

Moreover, the more Xie Qingxiao remained unmoved like this, the more it showed he valued relationships and loyalty. Wasn’t such a person even more worth pursuing and wouldn’t it bring a greater sense of achievement…

Zhang Wenyu stared at him: “Qingxiao, you’re speaking naively right now. I don’t blame you. You’ll understand in the future.”

Listening to his feigned mature words, Xie Qingxiao almost sneered out loud.

This bunch of Alphas all felt so good about themselves. Although they deeply abhorred being cuckolded, they also took pride in snatching targets from other Alphas. Their concept of emotional chastity was extremely weak.

Xie Qingxiao couldn’t be bothered to deal with him anymore and turned to leave.

Comparing Gu Siyuan to this kind of person was simply a massive insult.

Zhang Wenyu’s eyes filled with anger: “Xie Qingxiao, are you really going to be this foolish? I’ll say it one last time, accept the flowers, and we’ll let today’s matter go.”

“And if I don’t?”

Right at this moment, a deep but icy male voice carried over.

Xie Qingxiao raised his head in pleasant surprise.

The others also looked towards the source of the voice. They saw a young man wearing a black trench coat walking quickly towards them.

A black trench coat has always been one of the most difficult garments to pull off, but this young man had a tall and straight figure, a cold and profound appearance, and an outstanding temperament. One simply couldn’t pick out any flaws, but could only be immersed in his powerful aura.

Gu Siyuan walked to Xie Qingxiao’s side and gently touched his cheek: “It’s such a cold day, why have you delayed down here for so long?”

Xie Qingxiao hugged his arm, his smile radiant: “We’re leaving right away.”

“Mn,” Gu Siyuan nodded and reached out to pick up his suitcase.

“Who are you?” Zhang Wenyu asked unwillingly.

Gu Siyuan’s expression was indifferent: “Who am I? Isn’t that obvious enough? Little kid, I’ll give you a piece of advice: don’t make ruthless remarks so casually in the future.”

Being lectured so condescendingly by a guy who looked like a peer, Zhang Wenyu flushed red and said in exasperation, “What kind of thing are you?”

“Ah, is… is that CEO Gu…” At this time, a passing male student suddenly cried out excitedly.
“It’s Gu Siyuan, right? I just thought he looked super alike, but I didn’t dare to recognize him!”
“Ah, it’s CEO Gu, it really is CEO Gu!”
“CEO Gu came to our school. Is he here to give a speech?”

Instantly, the entire scene boiled over.

When Yuanxing Technology was first established, Gu Siyuan had always maintained a low profile.

But now, after Yuanxing had reached such a scale, it was hard to keep a low profile even if he wanted to. At least among young college students, the name Gu Siyuan was known to everyone. After all, the application they used most frequently every day was developed by him.

Especially after everyone learned that Gu Siyuan was the same age as them, and his appearance was overly superior, they regarded him as an idol to worship. Wasn’t this much more exciting than chasing after those fresh meat celebrities?

“My god, Xie Qingxiao’s boyfriend is actually CEO Gu?”
“CEO Gu of Yuanxing Technology! What kind of net worth is that? Isn’t this too lucky?”
“No wonder. Having CEO Gu, of course he wouldn’t look favorably upon Zhang Wenyu.”

As for Zhang Wenyu, his face was frighteningly pale.

Taking advantage of everyone’s excitement, Gu Siyuan and Xie Qingxiao quickly left the scene.

It wasn’t until they boarded the plane that Gu Siyuan had the time to settle the score with his little boyfriend. His large hand pinched the pale cheek and began the interrogation: “Do you have anything to say?”

“Ah woo…” Pinched like this, Xie Qingxiao let out a vague sound from his mouth, but his eyes shone with a joyful and bright light.

His boyfriend was always as unmovable as a mountain on normal days. Therefore, this rare, slight jealousy actually made people love it incredibly.

“Yuan-yuan, we haven’t seen each other for days, I missed you to death.” Xie Qingxiao reached out to hug his boyfriend’s neck and gave him a big kiss, before playfully muttering, “Who can we blame for this? Isn’t it someone who’s busy to death? Even though we’re clearly in the same city, he never comes to see me.”

Gu Siyuan’s thumb pressed against his crimson lips, his expression cold: “Using the beauty trap is one thing, but you even push the blame onto me.”

Most importantly, he called him by his nickname again…

Xie Qingxiao wasn’t afraid of his cold face at all. Instead, he eagerly provoked, “What, do you want to punish me? Right now? Right here on the plane?”

Gu Siyuan stared at his enthusiastic, radiant little boyfriend. He fell silent for a moment, then pressed the person back into his own seat and tightly wrapped him up securely with a blanket.

Young people nowadays… truly hard to say what’s on their minds all day long.

…

According to tradition.
Beichuan High School’s annual anniversary and New Year’s Eve gala were combined into one, held on the afternoon of December 31st.

The timing of their return just happened to coincide with it. As an honorary alumnus, Gu Siyuan received a warm welcome and was even invited to give a speech on stage.

And besides them, quite a few former classmates from Class 1 of Grade 12 had also come. After watching the arts and entertainment showcase, the class monitor organized for everyone to go out and have a meal together to catch up and bond.

During the gathering, the two saw Shen Ting and Lu Jiayang, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time.

Before the college entrance exam, those two were still constantly tossing about, resulting in both of their grades dropping severely in the end.

After the college entrance exam results came out, thanks to his solid foundation, Lu Jiayang still managed to get into a regular top-tier university. But Shen Ting didn’t make the cut, and ultimately could only go study abroad.

However, Shen Ting appeared here right now.

According to Classmate Huo Yi, who had become an expert in gossip, it seemed the Shen family’s business hadn’t been doing well over the past year. Shen Ting hadn’t even studied for a few months before he interrupted his studies and came back to learn how to run the company.

Moreover, Lu Jiayang and Shen Ting had also completely parted ways during this process.

Just looking at Shen Ting’s lonely face now, one could tell. Where was the high-spirited, youthful vigor of the former school bully of Beichuan High School?

Regarding this, Xie Qingxiao couldn’t help but secretly mock him a bit with Gu Siyuan.

Hmph, those who play with other people’s feelings will inevitably be abandoned by feelings as well, ending up with nothing.

Around ten o’clock, Gu Siyuan and Xie Qingxiao held hands and prepared to leave.

Everyone didn’t dare to have any opinions. Instead, they all stood up to see them off.

In the shadows of a corner, Shen Ting downed another gulp of alcohol. Watching Gu Siyuan surrounded like a star by the moon, and watching Xie Qingxiao become increasingly radiant and moving, his heart sank heavily downwards.

The two returned to the hotel they had booked long in advance.

After Xie Qingxiao finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, he immediately saw the large suitcase placed in the room. He looked up and asked Gu Siyuan, who was standing on the balcony: “By the way, I’ve been wanting to ask you. We’re only staying here for one day, why did you bring such a big suitcase? What’s packed inside?”

Gu Siyuan had one hand in his pocket, his expression calm: “Perhaps you could open it and take a look.”

Xie Qingxiao glanced at Gu Siyuan, then ran thump thump thump to open the suitcase.

Ten seconds later.

Holding up a cow onesie pajama, Xie Qingxiao turned his head and stared dumbfounded at the remaining little rabbit, little dinosaur, little crocodile, and other animal pajamas in the suitcase.

Gu Siyuan said flatly, “One-year anniversary.”

Xie Qingxiao thought for a moment: “One-year anniversary of the temporary mark? One-year anniversary of confirming our romantic relationship?”

It was indeed today one year ago, because of Lu Jiayang’s secondary differentiation, a series of misunderstandings led to everything that happened next between them.

Gu Siyuan fell silent for a moment, then said: “You could count it like that too.”

“Could count it like that?” Xie Qingxiao wasn’t having it. He aggressively questioned, “Is it that forced? What other one-year anniversary could it be then?”

Gu Siyuan cleared his throat and said earnestly, “One-year anniversary of watching you wear the little lion pajamas.”

“Ah…” Xie Qingxiao’s beautiful little face instantly exploded red, stuttering and unable to speak.

Then, as if his brain had grown on his feet, he automatically and consciously rolled into the bathroom, changed into that little cow pajama, and walked out.

He gently touched the cow horns on his head, looking at his boyfriend with watery eyes: “Is it cute like this?”

Gu Siyuan took a breath: “Cute.”

It wasn’t until he had changed into every set of pajamas and then passed out from exhaustion that Xie Qingxiao suddenly recalled in hindsight: On this night last year, Gu Siyuan seemed to have added a bunch of pajamas to his shopping cart on the computer. So it was all to wait for today?

My boyfriend truly is a living embodiment of cold on the outside, secretly passionate on the inside.

Should he be happy, or should he be happy?

…

Three years later, Xie Qingxiao graduated from university.

He didn’t enter Yuanxing Technology to work. Instead, he decided to continue his postgraduate studies, striving to stay and teach at the university in the future.

But before that, more importantly, the two of them were going to register for marriage.

As a practitioner in the most cutting-edge, frontier industry, Gu Siyuan needed to receive the latest social trends and news at all times, and also needed to collect more user feedback. Naturally, he had social media accounts on every platform.

And on that day, for the first time besides official business, he posted a daily life update. It was two photos, respectively showing their marriage certificate and their wedding photo.

As soon as this post went up, it was immediately forwarded by netizens howling “Awoo awoo.”

In the photos, the two people, one in a black suit and the other in white, both possessed outstanding appearances and extraordinary temperaments. To say it was a match made in heaven wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all.

Actually, three years ago, with Gu Siyuan’s appearance at the Finance University on New Year’s Day, everyone already knew that the most popular golden bachelor among young people today had long since had a partner.

If it were an ordinary wealthy tycoon with a lover still in college, it might be misunderstood as a sugar daddy situation or something similar.

But after people looked up Gu Siyuan’s information online, coupled with various classmates spilling the tea, they learned that the two had been high school classmates, even desk-mates in the same class. They had started dating in their senior year of high school, before Gu Siyuan had even made his fortune.

Then there was nothing to discuss. Who made a rule that you couldn’t date your classmate in high school?

Thus, everyone just deeply sighed with emotion. An academic god is truly an academic god. Dating during such a tense time as the senior year of high school, and he actually still tested into a TOP-tier university. We mortals truly cannot compare.

And now, after a five-year marathon of love, the two had finally gone from school uniforms to wedding suits. The campus romance had stepped into reality. An Alpha like Gu Siyuan, who was handsome, wealthy, and deeply affectionate, simply made people yearn for it too much.

Many young Beta and Omega netizens left comments one after another.

“So touching! Actually, graduation doesn’t necessarily mean breaking up! Rich people don’t necessarily like to mess around either! Our CEO Gu is truly a peerless good man!”
“God in heaven, please grant me an Alpha like Gu Siyuan in my next life too!”
“Classmate upstairs, if you want to have Gu Siyuan, first, you must have Xie Qingxiao’s beauty and smart brain. Second, you also need to have the foresight to spot a potential stock early on.”
“Wu wu… are we not even allowed to dream anymore?”
“Hahaha, don’t be sad, person upstairs. An Alpha like CEO Gu is one in a hundred million. In reality, there are more scumbag Alphas. If they have a little money, they’re unfaithful; if they have no money, it doesn’t stop them from being unfaithful. So it’s better to be clear-headed to avoid being deceived.”
“I feel like I’ve been comforted… It’s enough just to look at a peerless good Alpha like CEO Gu online!”

For Yuanxing Technology, their boss’s image was positive to the extreme. He was simply a living signboard for the company, and his external reputation couldn’t be better.

You have to know, how many entrepreneurs, celebrities, etc. nowadays try every possible means all day long to establish a persona of loving their wives and caring for their families?

Resting his head on Gu Siyuan’s lap, Xie Qingxiao’s fingers scrolled through the netizens’ comments, the corners of his mouth never coming down.

Gu Siyuan finished his work on the computer, reached out, and touched his face: “Do you have any thoughts on holding the wedding?”

Xie Qingxiao raised his head, looking up with large, watery eyes: “A wedding isn’t important, it’s too much trouble to organize. Why not think about where to go for our honeymoon, and for how long? You haven’t accompanied me out to play in a long time.”

Gu Siyuan thought of the miserable, wailing faces those people in the company would make after he requested a leave of absence shortly, then firmly and unhesitatingly nodded: “Okay!”

Xie Qingxiao jumped up, hugged his boyfriend’s neck, planted a big mwah, and said sweetly: “Hubby, I love you the most!”

Gu Siyuan backhandedly pressed the person into his embrace and kissed him deeply.

Mn, how could those people in the company without beautiful partners possibly understand his sweet burden…

As the boss, taking more days off is perfectly justified!

In the long years of their latter half of life, the two always had a very good relationship.

Actually, speaking seriously, with Gu Siyuan’s status and position right there, he did occasionally encounter some people who refused to believe in evil or understand the situation, trying to throw themselves at him.

After Xie Qingxiao found out, he even acted spoiled and threw tantrums with Gu Siyuan a few times. However, with his little tricks, how could he escape Gu Siyuan’s palm? In the end, he would always melt into a sticky, mushy ball in the man’s embrace.

Gu Siyuan’s personality remained consistent for decades, indifferent and cold, but it gave Xie Qingxiao a full sense of security.

Even later, when Yuanxing became one of the companies with the highest market value in the world, no one else had ever appeared by Gu Siyuan’s side.

Xie Qingxiao was always treated kindly by time. After graduating with his Ph.D., he stayed at the university to teach. His life was peaceful and tranquil. By the time he was fifty, he was still a charming Omega.

He was even once publicly pursued and confessed to by an uninformed international student.

After returning home, he gleefully informed Gu Siyuan of this matter to prove his charm and to make Gu Siyuan understand he needed to cherish him properly. And then… he successfully received an extremely heavy and unforgettable cherishing.

The next day, when he was lying in bed unable to get up, he could only rub his waist while secretly muttering: How can a fifty-year-old old man still be this powerful…
