Chapter 58 Chat History
Clicking on the chat box between Ruan Yiyun and Chen Zui was purely a subconscious action. Guo Wei didn't think much at that moment.
A small screen couldn't display much information. Apart from the last sentence just seen, the messages above were all sent from Ruan Yiyun to Chen Zui.
——Looks okay, seems easily fooled
——I'll go flirt a bit and see
——I'll switch phones first, we'll talk later
In between, as was Ruan Yiyun's usual style, were two emojis.
Guo Wei's sense of unease grew stronger. At this moment, he had come to his senses, realizing that his current behavior was somewhat inappropriate. Even in a romantic relationship, it was impolite to peek at the other person's chat history without permission. Guo Wei had never had such thoughts before. But now, he couldn't control his fingers.
The bits and pieces of information revealed in those words made him unable to ignore them.
Pulling the conversation window slightly upward, the new message at the top of the screen made his eyes widen in an instant.
——He is called Guo Wei, do you know him?
After staring at his own name for half a second, Guo Wei quickly scrolled down the screen and, after a moment, found the beginning of this conversation.
-Missing one person for the game, hurry up
——Not coming
-?
-Come
——Not coming. I just ordered a new phone, it's still on the way, no time.
-Changed again?
-Okay, wait for you ten minutes.
-Latecomer buys drinks.
——Wait for what? I said I'm not coming.
-Are you scared?
-Are you scared?
——Like a stupid [beep]
——Stop bothering your dad, go away.
-Coward.
-You still not an Alpha?
——No damn it
——Stop bringing up old stuff
-Hahahaha
-You need some adrenaline to help differentiate? Brother will lend you a hand, hurry up.
-When I dominate you, I'll make sure to be gentle.
——Are you annoying or what?
——Wait until I finish differentiating, then I'll kill all of you.
-I think you're really going to become a little sister.
-Being an Omega for so long makes you more and more girly
-Little Sister, come see big brother play basketball
——Don't joke about that
—— I'm really getting depressed
-Uh-huh...
-What about that idea you mentioned last time? Why don't you give it a try?
——Which one?
-Get a partner
-Didn't you say in your situation, dating a Beta would be effective?
——It's easy for you to say. Where do I find one?
-They're all over the streets
-As long as your standards aren't too high
——Talk to my hand
-I'm serious, just pick anyone, use them as a stopgap, and if it doesn't work, change again
——......
—— You really are the king of empty talk, I almost thought you were quite the player
-Are you really that uninterested in getting a partner? Would you rather be an Omega than be in a relationship?
——It's not a matter of wanting or not, okay?
——First, you have to have someone to date
-They're all over the streets.
——It's impossible to communicate with you
——Do you expect me to randomly pick a lucky Beta from the street to date?
-Hahahaha
-It's actually a good idea
-Sit by the roadside with a sign: looking for a partner
-(Beta only)
-Specific terms negotiable
-Guaranteed booming business, and you can still pick and choose
-By the way, keep an eye out for me, I like people with big eyes
-Where are you?
-???
——......
-Where did you go? Back to the dorm? Did you switch to your new phone?
——No
——Had an encounter
——Can't quite describe it
-?
-Where did you just go?
——I randomly picked a lucky Beta on the street
-?????
——His name is Guo Wei, do you know him?
——Looks okay, seems easily fooled
——I'll go flirt a bit and see
——I'll switch phones first, we'll talk later
-Huh? Are you kidding me?
Guo Wei was dumbfounded, he read through this conversation several times, his mind in utter chaos.
Too strange.
Some of the information revealed in this conversation contradicted everything he had known from Ruan Yiyun before.
Ruan Yiyun clearly told him that he only suddenly redifferentiated after they started dating, and before that, he had no idea he would become an Alpha.
But from his exchange with Chen Zui, it seemed like he had already started redifferentiating, but was having a hard time and was very distressed. And in order to solve this problem, at Chen Zui's persuasion, he deliberately sought a Beta as a romantic partner.
It seemed like he had appeared in front of him at just the right moment.
What did that mean?
Guo Wei stared at the phone screen blankly, not moving for a while.
After a while, a dialogue box popped up in the middle of the screen, prompting him that this account had been logged in on another device, and if it wasn't him, he should change the password promptly.
It must be Ruan Yiyun who had opened his phone.
About ten seconds later, his old phone, still connected to the power source, made a notification sound. Ruan Yiyun had sent him a message.
——Big Smartie, what mischief are you up to?
Undoubtedly, after logging back into the account, he noticed the changed nickname he had set for himself, and guessed that Guo Wei had logged into his account using this phone.
His tone carried an obvious playful tone, apparently not minding it at all. Not only that, he seemed completely unconcerned about Guo Wei seeing any private information.
Guo Wei couldn't help but wonder, was this due to trust in his character, or... he simply didn't care at all?
That chat history made him involuntarily entertain some pessimistic thoughts.
Guo Wei was not the type to hold back on things. After hesitating for a moment, he nervously typed out a reply.
——I looked at some of your chat history
Just a few seconds later, he received a call from Ruan Yiyun.
"So naughty, you actually peeked," his tone still carried a hint of amusement. "What did you see?"
"...It was your convo with Chen Zui," Guo Wei said tentatively.
"That must have been boring," Ruan Yiyun said, "He sounds like a fool no matter what he says."
Guo Wei suddenly realized something.
Whether it was changing phones, the conversation with Chen Zui, or their encounter that day, they all happened nearly half a year ago. Human memory is limited, and over time, memories naturally blur. Ruan Yiyun might have impressions of these events, but it would be difficult to still have clear memories after several months and quickly piece them together at this moment.
In simple terms, Ruan Yiyun didn't remember at all.
So he could lend him his phone without a care, knowing he had logged into it, and he didn't mind at all. He seemed completely innocent, as if he had nothing to hide and assumed there was nothing on him that he couldn't see.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Yiyun asked, "Why are you so silent?"
His tone finally carried a hint of doubt, perhaps realizing something was amiss?
Guo Wei took a shallow breath. "I read that... he was advising you to find a Beta to date."
Ruan Yiyun stayed quiet for a few seconds.
"Do you still remember?" Guo Wei asked.
"Uh, it seems like there was something like that..." Ruan Yiyun's tone had a hint of probing, "Why did we bring up that topic back then?"
Guo Wei was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something else.
Not long ago, he treated Chen Zui to a meal. At the barbecue restaurant, Chen Zui said that Ruan Yiyun almost failed to differentiate because he was unmoved. Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked by Ruan Yiyun.
All this information could easily be connected.
Guo Wei's mind became even more chaotic. Ruan Yiyun was undoubtedly deliberately hiding something from him, not wanting him to know.
So now, could he break through it?
Would there be consequences afterward that he didn't want to face?
"Hello? Are you still there?" Ruan Yiyun's tone became particularly gentle, his speech slowed down significantly, with obvious deliberation. "Husband, why aren't you answering me?"
Guo Wei gently bit his lip and said, "He said you can just find any Beta, make do for now, and if it doesn't work, change."
"What nonsense..." Ruan Yiyun said, "It must have been something Chen Zui said, nothing to do with me."
He seemed to be skirting around the issue.
Guo Wei was always straightforward, but now, all his thoughts were stuck in his throat, unable to express them, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Ruan Yiyun clearly sensed that something was wrong. "You're not just a casual choice to me, I've always felt very lucky to have met you."
Guo Wei nodded as he held the phone. "Mm."
Ruan Yiyun hesitated, "You..."
"I'm a bit tired, I'm going to sleep!" Guo Wei cut off the call quickly without waiting for Ruan Yiyun's response.
This was avoidance. As he looked at the increasingly visible crack on the phone screen, he realized clearly what he was afraid of.
Another message popped up on the phone screen.
——Goodnight, rest well
Guo Wei's fingers moved slowly on the screen. The phone started to have poor response again, causing the entire screen to shake unnaturally.
After a moment, Ruan Yiyun sent another message.
——Guo Wei, I really like you
Guo Wei thought, "I do too."
He tried to type a response, but he couldn't seem to type out the words "me too."
Guo Wei certainly couldn't sleep.
For some strange reason, he didn't switch devices, unwilling to use Ruan Yiyun's old phone.
As a result, when he suddenly remembered the discussion board he had visited recently related to redifferentiation, he had to turn on the light, get out of bed, and specifically open his computer.
The last post he had made had received some new replies, but Guo Wei didn't immediately choose to read them. Instead, he clicked on the button to create a new post.
【Title: Can I ask why you all want to find a Beta to date so badly? Is it because it helps with redifferentiation?】
At one in the morning, Guo Wei didn't expect to get an immediate answer. After sending the post, he opened the old thread.
The latest comment had been sent several weeks ago.
"I envy the OP's partner so much... Sigh, if only someone would be willing to accompany me like that, I wouldn't have failed to differentiate and ended up as this neither A nor O state I am now..."
Guo Wei stared blankly at these words, suddenly remembering something else.
Although Ruan Yiyun used to stay in the Omega dormitory, he lived in a single room. At the time, he had given the reason that his pheromones were unstable and might affect others, so he had specifically applied to the school for it.
Now, thinking back, it seemed strange.
Ruan Yiyun personally told him that his pheromones could not be perceived by Alphas and Betas, let alone have any effect. When they first met, Guo Wei could smell his pheromone scent, which meant that this was not a change that happened later.
He was able to get a single room for sure, but there must have been another reason.
The answer was so obvious.
Guo Wei exited the old thread and returned to the homepage, where a new reply tag popped up in the top right corner of the page. In the quiet of the night, it was surprising that his post had received a response so quickly.
