Jiang Heng is a person who easily goes along with the flow.
After sending the photo, he realized that he had placed the exam paper upside down. However, it didn’t matter much. Upon receiving Shen Huaizhi’s message, he quickly glanced at the questions on the paper.
He couldn’t remember when was the last time he earnestly studied. For him, class was like a lullaby, and the exam paper was like sheet music.
Jiang Heng thought for a moment.
【Water Engineer Wangxing: Don’t know any of it.】 Very straightforward.
This is how you highlight an alpha’s intelligence and wit!
【Water Engineer Wangxing: Otherwise, Captain, can you teach me?】
【Shen Huaizhi: ?】
Ignoring the question mark, Jiang Heng continued to send messages.
【Water Engineer Wangxing: If you find typing troublesome, I can also accept voice messages.】
After some thought, he added a cute expression.
【Water Engineer Wangxing: Qaq】
This time, the message was met with silence.
Just as Jiang Heng was preparing to drag He Ci out of the blacklist again and scold him, the WeChat call request sounded.
Without even looking, Jiang Heng directly pressed the green answer button.
It wasn’t until Shen Huaizhi’s face and his own appeared on the screen that both of them were puzzled for a moment.
Staring at the phone screen for a while, Jiang Heng spoke first, “Captain, there’s no need to be so direct, right?”
He raised an eyebrow.
Shen Huaizhi was also surprised, but his expression returned to its usual calm demeanor after just a few seconds.
“Wrong number.”
Jiang Heng nodded, not suspecting anything.
His gaze fell on Shen Huaizhi, and the camera was positioned quite far away.
Behind him was a mahogany door with a landscape painting hanging beside it. It seemed to be in a place filled with a scholarly atmosphere like a study.
Even at home, Shen Huaizhi was neatly dressed. However, it was the first time Jiang Heng saw him in a black shirt. The buttons on the collar were neatly fastened up to the top, just like when he usually wore the school uniform jacket. The only difference was that the normally gentle expression now appeared a bit stern against the black background.
The black shirt outlined the alpha’s waist even more prominently. Shen Huaizhi’s figure was superior, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the sleeve at the right wrist was pulled up a bit for the convenience of writing, revealing the clearly defined wrist bones.
As if there was a fatal attraction.
The imposing aura that was hard to approach on an alpha became even more prominent.
Oh no.
Why is this alpha particularly attractive everywhere, precisely in the places he likes?
Jiang Heng’s gaze uncontrollably glanced downward.
But he didn’t see anything further down.
Damn, what is he thinking?
Jiang Heng bit his lip, “Should I hang up then?”
A obedient and soft little omega should consider the alpha’s feelings, he can’t just hang up because he wants to look!
Shen Huaizhi raised his eyes and looked at him. Jiang Heng’s camera had a resentful expression, with his hair and forehead still showing signs of dampness. Even in this straightforward angle, it didn’t diminish the guy’s good looks at all. Instead, it softened his edges, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Shen Huaizhi bent his fingers, “No need, I’ll teach you directly.”
“But this week’s assignment isn’t based on this paper.”
Jiang Heng sighed and heard Shen Huaizhi continue, “This paper is from the first year, and it’s not from our school.”
Jiang Heng: “…”
Jiang Heng, with an expressionless face, bit his lip. Shen Huaizhi seemed not to notice, “Point the camera at the paper.”
“We won’t do the listening part, let’s start with the multiple-choice questions below.”
Outside the camera, Jiang Heng rubbed his cheek with one hand.
A true soft little omega wouldn’t feel embarrassed about such a small mistake.
He began to earnestly listen to Shen Huaizhi explaining the questions.
Shen Huaizhi’s voice was quite deep, giving off a sense of having passed adolescence. When he spoke, there wasn’t much fluctuation in emotion, as if he were just teaching a classmate about the questions.
Jiang Heng listened with furrowed brows, switching hands when his arm got tired.
Initially, he was patient, and when Shen Huaizhi asked if he understood, he could still respond with a firm “No.”
Very straightforward and honest.
There was nothing to hide; he simply couldn’t understand. After all, if he understood, why would he need the captain to teach him?
Jiang Heng was impressive, a high-level player!
Shen Huaizhi: “…”
Sensing the silence on the other end, Jiang Heng explained, “It’s not like that, Captain. You’re just too amazing, understanding such difficult questions.”
Shen Huaizhi: “These are basic questions for the first year.”
Jiang Heng remained expressionless for two seconds, “That’s still because you’re too amazing, remembering first-year basics.”
After a pause, Jiang Heng seemed to hear Shen Huaizhi laugh softly, a very light laugh, followed by, “Hmm.”
“Continue.”
Jiang Heng couldn’t see Shen Huaizhi’s face, and his mind was filled with auditory hallucinations.
Why would this person laugh like that?
Damn, it must be because the dream he had just now was too realistic, causing him to have hallucinations now.
As Jiang Heng cursed himself, he attentively continued to listen to Shen Huaizhi’s lecture.
He was too obedient.
Shen Huaizhi detailed the questions, making them much clearer than the teacher’s explanations.
This was Jiang Heng’s second thought before he fell asleep.
His first thought was whether Shen Huaizhi often taught other classmates like this, seeming quite skilled.
However, he didn’t ask.
It was normal for Shen Huaizhi, being the class monitor, to teach others. Moreover, this person was very particular about responsibilities, doing everything by the book. He probably wouldn’t refuse to teach anyone.
“So, choose option A for this question.” Shen Huaizhi lowered his head and wrote down the grammar and key points related to the question on paper, making it easier for Jiang Heng to understand. “You can take note of these key points.”
He aimed the camera at his own notes, only to realize that Jiang Heng’s camera, which was initially focused on the paper, was gone.
Instead, it was on Jiang Heng’s face.
He seemed to have fallen asleep quite suddenly, and the camera of his phone was pressed against his nose.
Shen Huaizhi was momentarily stunned.
In the camera, only the side of Jiang Heng’s nose was visible. The omega’s skin was delicate, contrasting with his personality.
Wearing headphones, Shen Huaizhi could still hear Jiang Heng’s soft breathing.
He was sleeping soundly.
After watching for a while, Shen Huaizhi shook his head in helplessness, chuckled, and then directly ended the video call.

A new Monday.
The classroom was buzzing with excitement. A group of people gathered together, as if holding a meeting early in the morning.
“Is it true?”
“It’s fake! I don’t believe my husband would let another omega rest on his shoulder!”
“I won’t believe it without a picture!”
“My friend said he wanted to take a picture, but Captain found out. You know how scary Captain can be. My friend immediately gave up.”
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! How could Captain be interested in an omega like Jiang Heng!”
Jiang Heng walked into the classroom with a yawn, and somehow, every time he came in, it was just right. Every time he could hear someone calling his name so enthusiastically early in the morning wasn’t exactly pleasant.
He stretched his neck lazily.
Yesterday afternoon, he slept on the desk until midnight, and now his neck was quite sore.
“What kind of omega am I this time?” Jiang Heng didn’t care much about other people’s awkward feelings. He entered with his backpack, scanned the source of the noise a few times, and it was the same group of betas as last time, but this time, there were two more omegas from their class.
Zheng Qi was not among them.
Those people looked at each other, showing an awkward expression as if caught gossiping about someone.
Jiang Heng glanced at them lazily. “Next time, say it near the back door. It’s awkward for me every time you bump into me.”
He seemed to have an indifferent attitude.
One brave female omega from the group asked Jiang Heng directly across the corridor, “They said, on the bus to the scenic spot, you fell asleep on Captain’s shoulder. Is it true?”
Jiang Heng placed his backpack on the desk. He had woken up quite early today and just finished running a lap on the field. His legs were a bit sore, and he felt a little dizzy.
Because the doctor said the heat period came early, Jiang Heng gave himself a shot of heat period suppressant this morning. It was probably a side effect, but luckily, it was much better than the suppressant for the sensitive period.
He showed no signs of amusement in his eyes. “Who are they?”
The female omega hesitated for a moment. “Just… sitting behind you, alphas.”
Jiang Heng nodded. “Any pictures? Let me appreciate it.”
Seeing his reaction, the female omega knew it wasn’t true. She sighed with relief and shook her head. “No.”
Jiang Heng nodded. “Okay.” Then, he suddenly smiled mockingly. “You guys gossip so early in the morning, why not do a couple more questions?”
It was all baseless rumors. Although he liked Shen Huaizhi, he wouldn’t let others spread rumors about their relationship before they confirmed it. Otherwise, he would have announced their engagement a long time ago.
After all, that was certified by their parents.
He thought for a moment. “Study well to catch up with Captain.”
After saying that, he made an encouraging gesture towards the group of people.
He wasn’t just saying this.
Captain had even video-called him on the weekend to teach him how to solve problems, right?
Thinking about it, Jiang Heng felt regret. He shouldn’t have fallen asleep. He didn’t even know if he snored, which was totally against the behavior of a docile omega.
The group of people who had gathered together: …
Where did the courage come from for someone who slept in class every day to encourage them to study hard!
At the back door.
Chen Xingchi, who had heard all these conversations, followed behind Shen Huaizhi, muttering, “Is it true that you like someone who studies well?”
“Why didn’t you agree to that omega scholar from the neighboring school last time?”
Shen Huaizhi raised his eyes, glanced at Jiang Heng’s back, his expression indifferent. When he was almost at his seat, he finally answered, “I don’t like it.”
Author’s note: Shen Huaizhi: I like it when he can’t solve high school-level problems.
