The agent, Bai Yuji, sarcastically said, “No wonder it’s impossible to bring Si Huaixi down. It seems he’s gotten close to Pei Zhaozhou. Your tactics are useless now, everyone is following Pei Zhaozhou.”

 

Bai Huaiyu knew that Bai Yuji, the agent, was mocking him. He saw Pei Zhaozhou and Si Huaixi leaving without being stopped as they should have been. But now, his full attention was focused on the common lounge.

 

Since Si Huaixi left unharmed, it meant either he didn’t drink the water or the assistant Xiao Li, that idiot, gave it to the wrong person.

 

Whose bottle of water was it?

 

Bai Yuji, the agent, still wanted to provoke Bai Huaiyu and encourage him to approach Pei Zhaozhou. However, Bai Huaiyu took the initiative and stepped into the common lounge without saying a word to him.

 

Bai Yuji furrowed his brow but didn’t intervene much. After all, he couldn’t control his cousin, the young master of the Bai family.

 

When Ying Yao entered the common lounge, her expression blossomed like a radiant sunflower. She was overjoyed and a little excited.

 

‘Teacher Bai talked to her so much. It’s truly lucky. Getting lost today turned out to be a great thing!’

 

She hoped Teacher Bai wouldn’t mind her being talkative. But even if she had to do it again, she couldn’t contain her excitement and elation.

 

Teacher Bai had fair skin and listened quietly. His clear, dark almond eyes seemed to gently penetrate her heart. She really liked this kind of Teacher Bai!

 

Ying Yao’s face turned red. She held her flushed cheeks in her hands and couldn’t help but curse inwardly!

 

Teacher Bai looked so obedient and adorable. Even when he was angry before, he resembled a chubby hamster. She wanted to cradle him in her hands, gently rub him, take a deep breath, and then take good care of him, making him the most beautiful white hamster!

 

Unfortunately, she was an Alpha with a dull sense of smell and couldn’t catch the legendary fragrance of a white rose, which was said to be elegant and fragrant, emanating from Teacher Bai.

 

But when she thought of Teacher Bai’s ambiguous implication before, asking about the scent of her pheromones, Ying Yao couldn’t help but feel a small sense of joy and shyness.

 

‘Could it be that Teacher Bai has feelings for her too?’ She was truly a deeply sinful female Alpha!

 

She didn’t expect that as she grew up, her popularity suddenly improved. Back then, she was a rich second-generation female Alpha who was reasonably confident in her appearance, but she never had any suitors at school.

 

All those beautiful Omegas and Betas were fond of the tall and strong Alphas in the basketball club. As for her, even though she had excellent talent and a good character, she was just a short female Alpha who could only focus on studying, hoping to attract those who appreciated her as a brilliant student.

 

But the result was that she attracted and attracted, yet other classmates paired up while she was left reading until she almost went nearsighted!

 

Ying Yao’s mind was filled with frustration, but suddenly, a brilliant smile bloomed on her face, and her bright black eyes shimmered with hopeful warmth.

 

But she had encountered Teacher Bai!

 

That was more than enough!

 

If it weren’t for her love at first sight for Teacher Bai, she wouldn’t have disregarded all concerns and come to the entertainment industry as a clueless actress. In order to avoid being criticized by the director for her acting, she had worked hard to memorize the script and keep up with Teacher Bai’s footsteps. Now, her acting had improved, and the director’s disapproval happened less frequently.

 

Originally, Ying Yao admired Bai Huaiyu, her ‘little sapling,’ with the mindset of a devoted fan. It was like a pink, cuddly leaf that had grown crookedly, quietly emitting the sour smell of love in her heart.

 

“Where is it? Where is it?”

 

Ying Yao entered the PR rest area to find her water bottle. It had a pink cartoon pendant, and inside the bottle was the flower tea her butler had brewed for her, which she usually drank after finishing scenes. Normally, she would leave it on the table, so how did it suddenly disappear…

 

Ying Yao searched around several long tables, where various props and miscellaneous items from the crew were placed. From a distance, she saw her water bottle on Si Huaixi’s table, but she felt a bit timid and didn’t dare approach. A strange animal instinct made her feel that this person was dangerous.

 

It was the kind of reaction a groundhog would have, screaming in fear!

 

With her head lowered, Ying Yao drew circles on the ground with her foot. When she reached the twenty-third circle, Si Huaixi suddenly stood up and left. She instantly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to grab the water to drink.

 

As she took a few sips, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

 

“Don’t drink!”

 

Snap!

 

The water bottle fell to the ground, spilling its contents.

 

Ying Yao’s hand instantly turned red, and she stared blankly at Bai Huaiyu, her mouth still wet with water.

 

“Teacher Bai?” Ying Yao felt a bit intimidated. Bai Huaiyu’s emotions seemed unusual at the moment.

 

Bai Huaiyu’s eyes turned red, heaving for breath. He glanced at the liquid that had splattered onto his hand, suppressing his anger and roughly wiping it off his clothes. His skin instantly became hot and itchy.

 

Without needing to ask, he knew that the water bottle contained the juice of the ‘Laihong Tree,’ which had a weak toxicity. Contact with the skin or consumption could cause allergic reactions, resulting in redness.

 

Bai Huaiyu felt annoyed, covering his still burning and red-spotted hand. He glared angrily at the bewildered Ying Yao and lowered his voice, saying, “Come, I need to talk to you about something.”

 

Bai Huaiyu pulled Ying Yao out of the rest area, her mind filled with confusion. As they walked, she asked in a questioning tone, “Teacher Bai, what’s going on with you today?”

 

White Teacher was not in a good mood today, throwing water bottles and getting angry. Maybe it’s that time of the month for Teacher Bai, you know, when the Omega sensitivity is heightened. They say during this period, the temper is even more prone to explosive fluctuations.

 

Bai Huaiyu frowned in disgust and said, “Go to the hospital. You drank water, right?”

 

Ying Yao was confused and exclaimed, “Why would I need to go to the hospital for drinking water?”

 

She quickly grabbed Bai Huaiyu’s arm and continued, “White Teacher, I did drink water, but I don’t need to go to the hospital! The water was hot, so I was wondering if you got burned. If there are blisters, then it should be me taking you to the hospital!”

 

Ying Yao’s lively and animated demeanor didn’t seem like someone who had taken medicine, but his hand were already showing red spots and itching.

 

Bai Huaiyu wasn’t concerned about his own condition. After diluting the mildly toxic sap of the Laihong Tree, and considering the small amount that had dripped onto his hand, he would at most develop some red spots for a few days.

 

But Ying Yao had actually consumed a significant amount of water, and the effects on her digestive system would be more pronounced. The Bai family had conducted experiments using monkeys, and if someone ingested twenty milliliters of Laihong Tree sap, they would immediately experience an allergic reaction—redness, swelling all over the body, and in severe cases, fever and fainting.

 

Yet Ying Yao seemed perfectly fine, with rosy and radiant cheeks. Bai Huaiyu grew suspicious and suddenly recalled that Ying Yao had shown no response to his pheromones. She had mentioned being a bit slow, which could mean that she naturally possessed resistance to drugs.

 

With a focused gaze, Bai Huaiyu cautiously asked, “Don’t you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

 

Confused, Ying Yao answered, “No, why would I feel uncomfortable?”

 

Bai Huaiyu changed the question and inquired, “Have you ever taken medicine when you were sick?”

 

Although Ying Yao didn’t understand why Bai Huaiyu was asking, she decided to answer honestly since he was the one asking. With clear eyes, she replied, “Yes, but when I had a fever as a child, taking fever-reducing medicine never worked. I would suffer for a long time, but eventually, I would recover without having to take any medicine, no matter what illness I had.”

 

Bai Huaiyu chuckled softly, and his pitch-black eyes held an indescribable cunning.

 

“Drug resistance truly is the bane of the Bai family.”

 

When Bai Huaiyu looked at Ying Yao again, his dark eyes revealed a hint of intrigue and calculation as he smiled and asked, “Ying Yao, what do you think of me?”

 

Startled by the question, Ying Yao blushed and shyly replied in a soft voice, “Teacher Bai is very good.”

 

Bai Huaiyu clearly saw the innocence and affection in Ying Yao’s eyes—a hint of ambiguity, pure and selfless, an unrequited love…

 

An inexplicable discomfort washed over him, even causing a slight annoyance.

 

Compared to those Alpha individuals who were infatuated and fanatical about him, this feeling bothered him even more.

 

“In that case, let’s be good friends. Will you help me when I need it?”

 

Bai Huaiyu’s appearance was deceiving, making him look like an elegant and kind-hearted Omega. When his clear apricot eyes sincerely met Ying Yao’s gaze, she couldn’t find the words to refuse him.

 

And Ying Yao had no intention of refusing either. Her eyes sparkled brightly as she sweetly replied, “Sure!”
