SPDO Chapter 11

The midday sun was very strong, making the walls of the rooftop of the teaching building hot.

The lock on the iron door was opened, and there was a black figure in the place where students were usually forbidden to enter.

“What did he say?” Jian Heng leaned in the shadows, looking at the watch on his right wrist from time to time.

“What can he say? Just asking where you’ve gone, trying to find ways to bring you back. Cheng Bin and I have been bombarded with calls these past two days. We want to discuss this with you. Can we report it to the police?”

“Go ahead,” Jian Heng indifferently looked at the distance, “arrest them all.”

There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone, followed by a sigh, “Are you really not coming back? Didn’t Jian Xingguo1简兴国 (Jiǎn Xīngguó): T/N: IDK if the author change his name or what. Or perhaps this is another person, not Jian Heng’s dad. Jian Heng’s dad was called Jian Ganghong 简刚宏 (Jiǎn Gānghóng) in Chapter 06. say that he would cut off your living expenses? Your stepmother even came to the school to find me, crying so disgustingly. If you are short of——”

“I don’t need it,” Jian Heng interrupted, “You don’t have to see her.”

“How could I see her,” Shao Ze said, “It’s a pity that your father believed her words. Is he blind or what?”

It’s been almost five minutes since he left. Jian Heng bent down to pick up the cola on the ground and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“No, we brothers just wanted to ask about your recent situation. We’ll go see you when we have time.”

“No need to look,” Jian Heng walked towards the rooftop door, “There’s nothing to see.”

As if to ease the atmosphere, Shao Ze joked, “No need to look? Have you found your dream Alpha lover? They’re quite open-minded in this small city.”

Dream Alpha lover?

Jian Heng’s eyes darkened. His emotion couldn’t be heard from his tone: “Hang up.”

Shao Ze: “Call if something happens.”

Jian Heng let out an ‘Um’ and casually threw the cola into the trash can.

Tan Qi had just sat down with the cola when Jian Heng entered through the back door, timing it perfectly for ten minutes.

Qin Cheng tilted his head. There was a layer of sweat on the person’s forehead, and he was a little out of breath. It was obvious that he had run back. “Where have you been?”

Jian Heng glanced at him, sat down, placed the bottle of mineral water he was holding on the table, and said while twisting the cap: “Supermarket.”

“Shit,” Qin Cheng hesitated between mineral water and cola for 0.1 second, and decisively chose cola, “You still dare to go out behind my back? How come you didn’t pass out halfway?”

Tan Qi tried to lower his presence, listening to this extremely weird words that were almost like a wife who stayed at home questioning her husband who came home late, which made him feel surreal.

“Ten minutes,” Jian Heng took the cola from his hand and handed him the mineral water, “I timed it.”

Qin Cheng looked down at the mineral water in his hand, feeling a little unhappy. Drinking this stuff was the same as not drinking anything at all. However, he couldn’t bear the choking taste of the stewed eggplant for another second, so he didn’t care if it matched his palate or not, he just drank half the bottle directly.

After drinking a lot of water, Qin Cheng frowned and forced himself to eat a mouthful of greasy rice: “Ten minutes is the limit? How do you know that?”

Jian Heng threw the cola casually, and it made a perfect parabola and fell into the trash can: “I guessed.”

Qin Cheng’s outstretched hand didn’t even reach the afterimage, and he watched helplessly as the undrinked cola fell into the trash can. He couldn’t stand this kind of wasteful behavior at all. He turned his head and glared at Jian Heng: “…Are you suffering from some kind of illness? You just threw away more than three yuan2三块 (sān kuài): T/N: around 0.4 USD. IDK if everyone know this, but in daily life, Chinese-speaking people usually use 块 (kuài) instead of 元 (yuán) for their monetary unit. More information: Link.?”

Jian Heng didn’t even look at him, he took out an exercise book and flipped through it, “The mineral water is yours.”

“Who the fuck wants to barter with you?” Qin Cheng threw the mineral water onto the table, glared for a moment, turned his head, and continued to eat his meal, “This shit doesn’t have any flavor at all. Did I just drink loneliness3喝了个寂寞 (hē le gè jì mò): T/N: I’m guessing QC said this because cola or Coca-Cola 可口可樂 (Kě kǒu kě lè) is known in Chinese as 肥宅快樂水 (féi zhái kuài lè shuǐ), lit. drink that makes fat otakus happy. So, because QC doesn’t drink cola he’s unhappy & lonely… maybe??”

Jian Heng didn’t say anything.

After watching the whole process, Tan Qi stood up and left silently. His beloved Qin-ge repeatedly asked him to stay——no, he didn’t even give him a glance.

Times have really changed. Qin-ge has started dating an Alpha.

Sure enough, straight men who only play games in their lives don’t deserve an Omega, because they already have an Alpha.

Whether he can play games or not, it’s still unknown, but judging from his temperament, he definitely can beat people up.

After school, Qin Cheng sat behind Jian Heng as usual, placing his hands conscientiously on either side, maintaining a distance from Jian Heng.

In the morning, it was also Jian Heng who drove him. Perhaps he could see that Qin Cheng was sleepy and didn’t want him to drive while fatigued.

Tan Qi was riding his bike on the side, trying hard to make himself look less sour and redundant.
“Hey, stop ahead,” Qin Cheng patted Jian Heng’s arm, “I want to buy two pens.”

Jian Heng stopped, balancing on one leg, he looked along the direction of Qin Cheng’s arm——a not very conspicuous alley, with a sign at the entrance saying, Fifth High Stationery Store.

The store should be inside the alley.

Qin Cheng got down from the bike, and with a glance, Tan Qi followed him down. The quality of a perennial younger brother who carries bags and accompanies shopping.

“I’ll come back within ten minutes, you watch the bike,” Qin Cheng said.

Jian Heng let out a sound of agreement, took out his phone, and sat on the bike with his legs braced on the ground, in a posture ready to wait.

Qin Cheng and Tan Qi walked into the alley.

There are a lot of people in the store after school hours, and they inevitably run into acquaintances coming and going, calling out ‘Qin-ge’, ‘Qin-ge’.

Tan Qi picked up a black pen, drew two strokes on the paper, and shook his head: “Look at the charm of our Qin-ge!”

“Don’t look at me, look at the pen.” Qin Cheng casually picked up two oil pens that cost one yuan each, drew a few strokes to see if they were fine, and prepared to pay. When he turned around, he saw a row of black fountain pens, the same as the ones Jian Heng used, and then he looked at the price——sixty-five4六十五 (liù shí wǔ): T/N: approximately 9 USD..

He didn’t know which idiot sold them.

Qin Cheng decisively averted his gaze. He had money to burn. A good calligrapher doesn’t choose his pen5善书者不择笔 (shàn shū zhě bù zé bǐ): T/N: May or may not be a typo for the proverb 善书不择纸笔 (shàn shū bù zé zhǐ bǐ), a good calligrapher does not choose paper or pen; which means that a person who is good at calligraphy does not need to choose good paper or pen to write good characters.. Do you understand?

After paying, the two walked out and bumped into a disgruntled Zhao Hai at the door, along with a group of scoundrels who didn’t look like good people behind him.

It was obvious they were going to confront someone, as they even carried weapons.

They are all students, and usually they just fight in school. Generally, they wouldn’t confront these scoundrels outside of school. Not only did they not know how to control their strength, but it could also lead to unnecessary trouble.

Zhao Hai’s attitude made Qin Cheng instinctively feel that this bastard was going to cause trouble and that they should leave soon.

Jian Heng was still waiting outside. Qin Cheng didn’t want to fight, so he moved aside and prepared to go out.

When Zhao Hai saw him, his eyes lit up, looking as if he had caught him.

With people behind him, he also no longer seemed as restrained as before. He directly stood in front of him with a wild look on his face, pointing to a man with a strong build and a dragon tattoo on his shoulder behind him, saying: “Sun-ge, it was him who hit me. A few days ago, he nearly sent me to the hospital!”

Qin Cheng didn’t say anything. He just thought the dragon tattoo was too low-brow. If one didn’t look closely, one would think it was a long worm.

It couldn’t be compared with the one on Jian Heng’s back.

That whatever Sun-ge’s face darkened when he heard it. A skinny guy with a permed head full of curly hair next to him raised a steel pipe and pointed at Qin Cheng. He didn’t care about the people coming and going in the store and cursed directly: “Still fucking not call out Sun-ge! You deserve a beating, kid!”

Tan Qi wanted to attack at that moment, but was stopped by Qin Cheng.

Qin Cheng always adhered to the principle of not fighting if he could, and only using his fists when he really couldn’t avoid it. This time, it was obvious that he couldn’t avoid it, but there were people all around him. These scoundrels didn’t care whether they hurt innocent passers-by or not, he had to take care of it.

Qin Cheng glanced around.

Most of the people appearing at the stationary store at this time were well-behaved kids. These scoundrels exuded the aura of ‘I’m about to kill people’ from head to toe. The well-behaved kids were so scared they didn’t dare to move, let alone come to intervene.

Qin Cheng raised his hand and pointed to a deeper alley. It was a dead end with hardly any people.

“Bro, Sun, whoever you are, let’s settle this outside.”

Sun-ge was obviously holding his head high. When he heard this, he ignored Zhao Hai’s gaze, raised his chin, and signaled him to go first.

Qin Cheng glanced at Tan Qi as he walked away, signaling him to go out and find someone. As a result, Tan Qi looked angry and did not receive the signal, so he stood in the cul-de-sac with him.

Sun-ge’s men blocked the entrance of the alley, and the two of them stood inside.

There was a wall behind them, which was very high. It was impossible to climb it unless they were possessed by Spider-Man.

Qin Cheng looked calm on the surface, but he was thinking rapidly in his mind.

No matter how powerful he and Tan Qi were, they could not defeat more than 20 scoundrels with knives and sticks. They will be exhausted. They will definitely be injured today, and now it’s just a matter of how much.

“Yo, not so awesome anymore?” Zhao Hai stood next to Sun-ge, grinning hideously that Qin Cheng wanted to throw a brick at him, “I told you to call me Zhao-ge but you didn’t. I told you to call out Sun-ge but you didn’t? Who the hell do you think you are?! Today, Sun-ge is going to tell you that you really don’t have the final say in this area of Fifth High School!”

“Oh.” Qin Cheng glanced over calmly, thinking about the best assault route.

He had already wasted nearly ten minutes. If he was lucky, someone would call the police. But in their area, the speed of the police response was worrying. By the time the police came, both of their corpses would already be cold.

Their biggest hope now is Jian Heng outside, but no matter how powerful Jian Heng is, he is just one person.

Moreover, when it comes to combat effectiveness, he has never seen Jian Heng in action until now. It would be a shame if he turned out to be all bark and no bite.

He really didn’t check the almanac before going out.

“Sun-ge?” Zhao Hai rubbed his hands in anticipation. He had been feeling suppressed by Qin Cheng for quite some time. He thought he had fought more and knew more people than Qin Cheng. However, the idiots from the Fifth High School didn’t recognize him and always claimed that Qin Cheng was their leader. He had been holding back since his first year of high school until now, and he was about to explode.

Today, he had intended to confront a scoundrel but unexpectedly ran into Qin Cheng. It seemed like the heavens were on his side.

Sun-ge looked at Qin Cheng: “Today, if you kneel down and kowtow to Xiao Hai, admit your fault, and acknowledge that he is your elder brother, then the matter will be over. From now on——”

“This matter will be over your mom!!!” Tan Qi sneered. He made the condition because he knew Qin Cheng couldn’t do that. If they want to fight, then just fight. He couldn’t stand him still humiliating Qin-ge before they fight, “Zhao Hai, you fucking useless grandson! You haven’t been beaten enough, right? Your mother forgot to take a brain supplement6脑白金 (nǎo bái jīn): T/N: Somehow the direct translation is Melatonin, which is said to help with sleep, but was also quite controversial in China. According to netizens, 脑白金 is used to insult people. It could mean that the person is an idiot or has a brain disease. when she gave birth to you! Idiot!!”

“Tan Qi, fuck your mother!” Zhao Hai’s eyes turned red from being scolded, and he rushed over swinging a steel pipe. When the other scoundrels saw him make a move, they also surrounded them with their weapons.

Qin Cheng gave Tan Qi a thumbs up in his heart. He moved sideways to avoid the weapon in Zhao Hai’s hand, kicked him in the stomach, and sent him flying. He leaned his back against Tan Qi to prevent anyone from sneaking up.

At this time, the advantage of the top Alpha was revealed. The war-loving factor engraved in the Alpha’s bones made them naturally afraid of the strong. The moment Qin Cheng’s pheromones were released, several scoundrels took a few steps back.

But there were too many people on the other side. Qin Cheng’s arm was hit hard. He snatched a steel pipe and handed it to Tan Qi.

He knocked down a curly-haired guy with one punch, and three more came running over from behind. There were already a few people lying on the ground, but he was also hit several times. When he was about to beat someone, his heart suddenly throbbed violently.

Damn, it’s been more than ten minutes.

…..

Jian Heng was counting the time while riding the bike. It had been ten minutes and the person hadn’t come out yet.

A few students wearing the uniform of Fifth High School passed by, and one girl said to the boy next to her with a pale face: “Will Qin-ge be alright? There are so many of them.”

The boy was obviously scared as well: “We’ve called the police. Rushing over will only distract Qin-ge.”

Jian Heng’s face darkened. He pedaled hard, and the bicycle rushed into the alley.


The author has something to say:

The author twisted his body wildly: Here it comes, here it comes!

Ugh, that ZH really have no class. Anyway, do you think JH actually always like Alpha more than Omega or Beta?
