ROT CH 41

Chapter 41: Our Child Has Just Grown Up

In the study room of the Bai family’s main residence, Bai Lin listened attentively as Hei Yi and Hei Shier reported to him. He learned about the incident at the A University basketball court this evening and the subsequent developments in the Medical School Dean’s office.

Hei Yi was somewhat anxious about Bai Chengyu’s Omega identity being exposed: “Master, now that Young Master’s Omega status has been spread, what should we do? Should we increase security personnel?”

Bai Lin appeared to have not heard, his brows furrowing deeply as he remained silent for a long while before speaking up: “He said he’s dating Han Junzhou?”

“Yes,” Hei Yi responded respectfully, “Strictly speaking, the matter of them being in a relationship was mentioned by Director Han. It’s because of the bite marks on Young Master’s neck…”

“Are there really bite marks?” Bai Lin asked, not yet convinced. “Was it forced?”

“It doesn’t seem like it,” Hei Yi replied. “The bite marks are clean, with no signs of struggling or fighting. Also, yesterday…”

Hei Yi turned to Hei Shier, signaling him to speak. Hei Shier quickly added, “Yesterday was Young Master’s birthday. He skipped class and proactively went to the hospital to find Director Han, then was brought back to his home by Director Han afterward.”

“Hmph, skipped class. He was really eager to take the initiative,” Bai Lin said, sounding a bit upset.

“…” Hei Yi and Hei Shier were both taken aback. After all, it was Master who had brought in Director Han. The way things had developed was probably expected, so why was Master angry now? Hei Shier, frightened by Bai Lin’s anger, feared he had said something wrong and didn’t dare to speak further. Hei Yi cautiously responded, “Hei Shier didn’t mean it that way.”

Bai Lin waved his hand in frustration, signaling them to leave.

“Then… about adding more people?” Hei Yi asked again as he neared the door, unable to help himself.

“No need. He’s Han Junzhou’s now, and Han Junzhou will protect him,” Bai Lin dismissed, his tone impatient, signaling Hei Shier, Hei Yi and the Black Team to leave.

“Finally marked, huh?” Bai Lin muttered to himself in the study. Although he had personally chosen the Alpha from the Han family for Bai Chengyu, even though the situation had unfolded just as he planned, he still felt very unwilling deep down.

And there was also a sense of reluctance.

“Our child has just grown up.” Bai Lin sighed again. What was meant to come would eventually come.

Wang Ziheng and the others were pushed forward by Guo Xinkai, and when they could no longer see Han Teacher or Bai Shao, Guo Xinkai stopped.

“What’s wrong? You look so anxious,” Wang Ziheng asked in confusion.

Liao Sheng also spoke up: “Yeah, why are you in a hurry? Everything’s been settled. That Xue Ba guy won’t cause trouble again. I’m starving, let’s go eat first. Hey, it’s already so late, let’s just head to McDonald’s…”

“I don’t want fast food, I’ll get fat…” Lin Yunru interjected from the side.

“Don’t worry about getting fat! Just go online and check, the campus network comments have gone off the rails.” Upon hearing Guo Xinkai’s words, everyone immediately took out their phones to check, wondering where the situation had developed to now.

They had followed the whole situation from the basketball court to the dean’s office, but others hadn’t! All they saw was the live broadcast of the argument at the basketball court. The rumors about Bai Chengyu’s disguise as an Alpha, Han Junzhou’s inappropriate relationship with his student, and the Omega using their advantages to trade favors with Alpha for good grades had all spread like wildfire.

These issues had been clarified in the dean’s office, and even the instigator of the argument had been convinced. However, the crowd online was still in the dark. They were building their own distorted versions of events based on lies, turning a simple relationship into something sordid and transactional. They even dug up Bai Chengyu’s previous year’s grades and his recent midterm scores, twisting the excellent results into dirty, immoral acts. The commenters insinuated that the grades were the result of Bai Chengyu’s “performance” in bed, which not only insulted Bai Chengyu but also dishonored the professors.

While most of the professors were either Omega or Beta, and they could laugh off these ridiculous accusations, a few Alpha professors found themselves in awkward positions. The rumors were so outlandish that even if they tried to explain, it would sound like an admission of guilt if they didn’t respond at all. It was as if they were caught in a situation where they couldn’t win either way.

Wang Ziheng and the others quickly scrolled through the comments, seeing so much disgusting and offensive language. It was hard to believe that these words came from students at such a prestigious university like A University. It seemed like the commenters were defending their own interests, resorting to even harsher words than ordinary, uneducated people. Each sentence was sharp and targeted, twisting the facts and confusing right from wrong. Some even fabricated entire stories, making the group angry.

“Disgusting! Perverted!” Liang Yuchan shouted angrily, her face flushed as she closed her phone, no longer wanting to look at the bizarre stories and comments.

Lin Yunru comforted her gently, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. We all know it’s not like that…” Wen Yuyi also reassured her. They understood why Liang Yuchan was so upset. Another hot topic was trending, discussing the love-hate relationship between campus goddess Liang Yuchan and campus heartthrob Bai Chengyu, both Omegas. The content was vulgar and absurd, clearly fabricated. But as one of the story’s protagonists, Liang Yuchan felt both humiliated and angry, and her eyes had even welled up.

Wang Ziheng, seeing how his crush had been twisted into such a mess, felt both furious and heartbroken. The other person falsely accused in the stories was his close brother. He gritted his teeth and immediately told everyone to head to McDonald’s for dinner, planning to come up with a way to control the situation
