Chapter 11 Unlike Me, Who Only Felt Sorry For Guo Guo


Guo Wei did not give a like to Ruan Yiyun's Moments post but replied, "Wishing you a long and lasting relationship!"


Ruan Yiyun responded, "Really?"


Seeing him laugh wholeheartedly while holding his phone, Eldest Brother Jin's mentality immediately exploded.


"My goodness, why does it have to be you? I can't accept this! This must be a deception!" He rolled around in bed, trying to escape reality.


Guo Wei, oblivious at first, belatedly realized that Eldest Brother Jin seemed to consider Ruan Yiyun as an unattainable spiritual refuge, harboring one-sided admiration.


Now, his dream lover, once like a flower on a high peak, was easily plucked by an inconspicuous supporting character beside him, making it difficult to digest for a moment.


"Don't be sad," Guo Wei consoled him, "If you keep secretly admiring without making a move, it's only a matter of time before you get heartbroken. Now that he's with me, consider it not letting the fertile water flow to others' fields."


Wang Tong burst into laughter. "Just shut up!"


Eldest Brother Jin, utterly speechless, chuckled and used a pillow to lightly smack him. "What secret admiration! I just... just appreciate him a bit more, never had any unrealistic thoughts!"


Guo Wei, pondering, thought that this might be the reason why he could win Ruan Yiyun over.


Many Alphas and Betas admired Ruan Yiyun, but the majority, like Eldest Brother Jin, felt they were unworthy and could only watch from a distance, not daring to approach.


Objectively speaking, Eldest Brother Jin was considered a tall figure among the Betas, not bad-looking, seemingly a bit more handsome than Guo Wei. If he had bravely pursued, it might not have been entirely hopeless.


"If he's really with that Chen guy, it'll be somewhat acceptable." Eldest Brother Jin sighed, lying back on the bed. "At least, they look quite compatible standing together."


Guo Wei picked up the pillow Eldest Brother Jin had used to hit him and retaliated. "Who cares if you accept it or not? Anyway, he likes me!"


Although saying this, whenever someone mentioned it repeatedly, Guo Wei couldn't help but feel a bit concerned about that Alpha surnamed Chen.


To investigate, the best way was, of course, to ask Ruan Yiyun himself.


However, the straightforward Guo Wei found himself hesitating. He feared that Ruan Yiyun might misunderstand, thinking he was jealous and wanting to interfere with Ruan Yiyun's friendships.


Ruan Yiyun, flawless in his eyes, was someone he trusted completely.


Despite these circumstances, Guo Wei found himself bothered by the Alpha that others deemed highly compatible with Ruan Yiyun. Guo Wei struggled to comprehend his own thoughts, making it even more challenging to articulate them appropriately.


The next day, seizing the opportunity during their lunch together, Guo subtly inquired, "Who do you usually eat with? Friends?"


"I eat alone," Ruan Yiyun replied.


Surprised, Guo asked, "Isn't that boring?"


"Why would it be boring?" Ruan Yiyun smiled. "It's just a meal, and eating alone is more convenient."


Indeed, this logic was sound. Eating alone was definitely more efficient. No time was wasted waiting in line for different food options, meals could be enjoyed quickly without conversation, and finding a single seat was also more relaxed and convenient.


"But now you're always with me..."


"Being with you isn't about eating," Ruan Yiyun said, "It's to be with you, and this time happens to coincide with lunch."


Guo Wei, in a daze, completely forgot what he initially wanted to investigate.


"Do you usually eat with the friend from yesterday?" Ruan Yiyun asked.


"Yeah, we're classmates and roommates, so we're used to doing things together," Guo Wei replied.


"Will he be unhappy that you're with me now?" Ruan Yiyun asked with concern.


"It's fine," Guo Wei laughed, "He did scold me for prioritizing love over friendship, but it didn't seem like he genuinely minded."


"That's good," Ruan Yiyun nodded, "If he doesn't like to be alone, it's fine to join us. I don't mind."


Guo Wei waved his hand with a smile, "I asked him, but he said he doesn't want to be a third wheel and refused to come."


"He overthinks a lot," Ruan Yiyun shook his head, "It's just a meal."


Guo Wei nodded. "Exactly!"


"By the way," Ruan Yiyun asked him, "Do you have plans for this weekend?"


"Yes," Guo said, "I promised my parents I'd go home for dinner."


Ruan Yiyun raised an eyebrow at his words but didn't say anything.


"What's wrong?" Guo Wei quickly realized, "If you want me to stay, then... I can skip going home..."


It might be a bit unfilial, but they had only been together for less than a week, in the midst of the honeymoon phase. Guo Wei couldn't help but prioritize him above all else.


"No need." Ruan Yiyun hastily shook his head. "If you promised your parents, go back. I don't have anything urgent."


"Really?" Guo Wei asked, "You don't want me to stay with you?"


"Go back," Ruan Yiyun said.


Makes sense, Guo Wei thought. After all, Ruan Yiyun was a lone ranger who could have a meal alone every day.


"Okay." Guo Wei let out a sigh.


Seeing Ruan Yiyun remaining silent, he said with a depressed expression, "I'll miss you a lot and send you many messages for sure."


Ruan Yiyun laughed. "You better keep your word."


Guo Wei's home was in the same city, but it was a bit far and the transportation was not very convenient. Every time he went back, he had to take two buses and two subway lines, spending several hours.


Therefore, he didn't go back every week. The last time he visited home was a month ago, and his parents weren't happy about it. He really didn't want to let them down again.


Although he promised he would send many messages after returning home, in reality, less than half an hour after getting on the bus, he couldn't resist contacting Ruan Yiyun.


When he took out his phone and opened the chat with Ruan Yiyun, coincidentally, he received a message just sent by Ruan Yiyun.


——Guo Xiaowei, do you miss me?


Without hesitation, Guo Wei typed his reply.


——Yes!


——I was just about to message you!


——What are you doing right now?


——Are you busy?


He sent a flurry of messages, intending to ask if it was convenient to call when his own phone started ringing.


"I'm in the dorm doing homework, planning to take a short break," Ruan Yiyun told him over the phone. "Just wanted to hear your voice."


"Let's chat for a bit then!" Guo Wei happily replied.


He also wanted to hear Ruan Yiyun's voice.


The two talked on the phone for a while until Guo Wei's phone heated up. He hadn't charged it since morning, and midway through the conversation, the low battery warning popped up. He even went through the trouble of digging out a power bank from his bag to continue the chat.


They talked about trivial and unrelated things.


Like how the blueberry omelet introduced in the cafeteria yesterday looked terrifying, but now he was curious about its taste and decided to try it next time they met.


Or how the arrangement of Beta and Omega dorms at the school seemed too far apart, making their relationship essentially a long-distance one. Still, it was luckier than those poor souls in different campuses.


And how some evening classes at school were scheduled inhumanely. Dinner before class was too early, and eating after class would inevitably make them starve, so they had to sneak in snacks to munch on.


After that, the two shared and recommended snacks preferences.


It wasn't until he entered his residential area that Guo Wei reluctantly hung up the phone. But less than half an hour after reaching home, he couldn't resist sending a message to Ruan Yiyun.


Ruan Yiyun replied promptly.


Guo Wei asked if chatting would disturb his homework, and Ruan Yiyun assured him it was fine. He was bored and wanted someone to talk to.


People around often claimed that Ruan Yiyun and the Alpha surnamed Chen were extremely close. However, Ruan Yiyun insisted that he was used to being alone even during meals, always wandering on his own.


Compared to vague rumors, Guo Wei naturally believed what Ruan Yiyun said personally.


At this moment, hearing him mention boredom, Guo Wei felt an inexplicable surge of tenderness, wishing he could immediately sit on a three-hour drive back to accompany him.


When dinnertime arrived, Guo Wei held his phone the whole time, occasionally typing a few words and smiling foolishly. This quickly caught the attention of his parents.


"Since you came home today, you haven't put down your phone for a moment," his mom asked with a knowing tone, "Who can't you stop chatting?"


Guo Wei blushed, put away his phone, and chuckled nervously.


His mom also laughed. "In a relationship?"


"...Uh-huh," Guo Wei nodded, honest yet a bit shy.


"No wonder you came back reluctantly," his mom continued to inquire, "Is it a classmate?"


"He's a senior from the year above me," Guo Wei replied.


"A male student?" 


Guo Wei hurriedly added, "He's an Omega."


His parents were the most common Beta pairing and assumed he would follow the mainstream and find a Beta girl to date and marry in the future.


Unlike young people who were driven by their emotions, older people were more likely to consider the practicalities of a relationship. In mainstream society, it was viewed as a great achievement for a Beta to be with an Alpha or Omega. However, this also reinforced the belief that, in the public eye, Betas were not considered to be a good match for these two genders.


Seeing his mother's worried expression, Guo earnestly said, "He's a very gentle and considerate person, with a great personality. We get along really well!"


His mom nodded. "Well, as long as you're happy."


Guo Wei's dad, who had been quietly eating, looked up. "How long have you been together? We don't know about his family. How did you meet? Do you have any pictures?"


Before Guo could speak, his mom raised her hand and tapped her husband on the back with her chopsticks. "Are you checking the household register?"


"Ay, understand your own son. This silly kid, can't you show a bit more concern?" Guo Wei's dad sighed, giving Guo Wei a glance.


Guo Wei's mom gave his dad a stern look, then reassured his son, "Ignore him. Mom believes in your judgment."


Guo Wei had photos of Ruan Yiyun but decided not to show them to his parents for now.


While the pictures might not capture Ruan Yiyun's charm as much as seeing him in person, Guo Wei was confident that showing the photos to his mom, who initially claimed to "believe" him verbally, might lead to unnecessary concerns. She might think they didn't look compatible enough.


Others' opinions didn't matter. As long as Ruan Yiyun thought he was good, that was enough.


After dinner, Ruan Yiyun sent him a message, asking if it was convenient for a video call. Guo Wei eagerly initiated the video call, and soon, the familiar and beautiful face of his beloved appeared on the phone screen.


It had been over twenty hours since they parted ways last night, the first time they had been apart for an entire day since they started dating. Despite constant contact, Guo Wei still felt uneasy.


Ruan Yiyun placed the phone on a stand, leaned on the table with a smiling expression, and asked him, "Notice anything different about me?"


Guo Wei's eyebrows lightly jumped, carefully observing for quite some time but couldn't pinpoint anything.


Though straightforward, he had some instinctual survival skills in this area. Tentatively, he said, "You look... more, more attractive?"
