The next second, the person said quietly, "I've seen your grades. Professor, please choose me. I believe you're a good fit for me."
"Thank you, teacher."
The word "suitable" just sounds awkward no matter how you look at it.
Even after the physical examination was over, Song Ling was still a little unsure. What did that person mean? Wasn't the tutor assigned by the school?
Seeing Song Ling in a daze while getting dressed, Wei Yu leaned over and asked him, "You mean that person, could it be that they have a crush on you?"
"What do you mean?" Song Ling asked.
Wei Yu raised an eyebrow: "The literal meaning, I suppose."
"No, I'm an Alpha."
"What's wrong with Alpha? Do you even know who he is?" Wei Yu smiled when he saw Song Ling's clueless expression and reminded him, "Xiao Zeyan, the retired vice-captain of Quecheng's trusted team, is a top-tier Enigma."
Song Ling didn't hear what was said earlier clearly, but she heard the word "Enigma" very clearly.
"Enigma? The Empire has Enigma?" How could that be? He had never heard of it.
Wei Yu saw the man frowning, looking disgusted: "Why do you look like a country bumpkin? There are quite a few Enigma in Beicheng. Apart from the retired Xiao Zeyan, the others haven't revealed their identities yet. These kinds of people are fucking godlike. They're smart, strong, and full of schemes. If you followed Xiao Zeyan, you might get eaten alive by him before you even realized it."
"Probably not."
"Of course you would. I've heard that top E cups like to pick top A cups. The difference in strength isn't that big, and it's a lot of fun. You're so slow to react. Could it be that you're still a virgin all this time?"
Song Ling: How old is he? He's only 19.
"Alright, I can't chat with you anymore. I have an appointment with my sweetheart, so I'll be leaving now."
After Wei Yu finished speaking, he patted Song Ling on the shoulder and left.
When Song Ling returned to the hotel alone, Zhou Yinan had not yet come back.
At this point, Zhou Yinan, whose major doesn't have practical training exams, should have finished her interviews by now. Why hasn't she returned yet?
Song Ling opened her terminal, ordered takeout, and then sent a few messages to Luo Wenchuan.
[Song Ling: Honey, I've finished my physical exam, and I think I passed.]
[Little Rabbit: Congratulations, Brother Ling]
Luo Wenchuan responded quickly.
Song Ling wondered whether she should tell Luo Wenchuan about Enigma. The kid knew a lot and should know more about it than she did.
[Song Ling: Honey, we have a teacher named Enigma, I think? Have you covered that in your physiology class lately?]
[Little Rabbit: Enigma?]
Just as Song Ling was about to reply, she received a call request from Luo Wenchuan.
"Wen Chuan, aren't you at school?"
They should be eating at this time.
Luo Wenchuan didn't answer that question, but instead asked him, "Which teacher is Enigma?"
"Xiao Zeyan, the former deputy captain of the trusted team."
"Stay away from him."
Luo Wenchuan's tone suddenly turned much colder.
Song Ling was stunned for a moment before confirming that the person who had been cold and aloof just now was Luo Wenchuan.
“Honey, is Enigma dangerous?” Song Ling asked him.
After a moment of silence, Luo Wenchuan said, "Brother Ling, you told me before that Omegas need to protect themselves, so as an Alpha, you should also protect yourself in front of Enigmas. Enigmas are cunning by nature and rarely speak the truth. Such people will not submit to anyone and will never take rules and social norms seriously."
"Honey, you're suddenly so serious."
Not only did he become more serious, but his speech also became much more fluent.
"I just hope you can protect yourself."
Luo Wenchuan's voice sounded somewhat helpless.
The fact that Xiao Zeyan was able to differentiate himself so early and become the trusted captain shows that the danger level of Xiao Zeyan was beyond his ability to estimate.
A partner's pheromones have a significant impact on an Enigma's differentiation and susceptibility phases. When an Enigma encounters someone whose pheromones are highly compatible with its own, it will stop at nothing to get that person.
Song Ling will probably undergo a pheromone matching test during his physical examination. This person's pheromones smell like peach blossoms. Even if he hasn't differentiated, he can sense how attractive this kind of pheromone is. It's hard to guarantee that Xiao Zeyan won't have any designs on him.
As long as Song Ling's glands do not bear his mark, he will become the object of others' covetousness.
Thinking of this, Luo Wenchuan suddenly felt a strong urge to take a bus to Beicheng right now.
Song Ling is such a fool, don't fall into Xiao Zeyan's trap.
"Don't worry, baby, I'll protect myself. As an adult Alpha, I can definitely protect myself. Don't worry, I'll stay far away from him."
Song Ling never had a good impression of the word "Enigma." Such people were like bugs in the system, capable of getting an Alpha pregnant—just thinking about it made him feel strange.
After Song Ling finished talking to Luo Wenchuan, she read a book for a while and stayed at the hotel until midnight, but Zhou Yinan still hadn't returned.
This kid probably failed his job interview and went off to sulk all by himself.
Thinking it over, Song Ling picked up her terminal and sent a call request to Zhou Yinan.
At first it was in a waiting state, but then it was directly disconnected.
Where can someone go when they're in an unfamiliar place?
Just as Song Ling was getting dressed and preparing to go find someone, it started raining outside.
Spring rain is as precious as oil; a gentle breeze carries the drizzle, and there is no chill in the air.
Song Ling grabbed an umbrella and began locating Zhou Yinan's terminal.
The place was quite far away, and there were no taxis on the street at the moment, so Song Ling simply rode a bicycle to the terminal's location.
The destination was displayed in the main urban area. When Song Ling rode her bike there, she found that it seemed to be a high-star hotel.
If Zhou Yinan sleeps here for one night, his monthly allowance will be gone. What is this little brat doing here?
Song Ling went to the hotel lobby and asked the staff behind the counter. The staff said they did not have the authority to investigate the room booking records.
Looking at the spiral staircase in the lobby, Song Ling sent another call request to Zhou Yinan.
This time someone answered.
"Zhou Yinan?"
"Brother Ling."
Zhou Yinan sounded sleepy, and Song Ling was relieved to hear that he was alright.
"Are you at the hotel?" Song Ling asked.
Zhou Yinan hummed in agreement: "Brother... I'm so sleepy right now, I'll call you back tomorrow. I'm really too tired. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Zhou Yinan's tone was a little strange, a shade hoarser than usual.
Is this kid really heartbroken?
"Yi Nan, did your interview not go well?"
"It went very smoothly, bro, I'm just so sleepy."
"Well then, you go to sleep first, and remember to contact me tomorrow."
As soon as Song Ling finished speaking, the call request was cut off.
This person is quick enough.
Looking at the terminal, Song Ling was still a little worried, so she simply booked a room at the hotel and stayed there as well.
To be honest, he has hardly ever stayed in a hotel since he started school, except when he travels. Every time he stays in a hotel, he has the same embarrassing experience.
As Song Ling lay down on the bed, she vaguely heard some embarrassing sounds coming from next door.
Song Ling: It's past one or two o'clock. How come these people don't know how to restrain themselves?
A note from the author:
Here it comes!
I'll be updating earlier these next three days, but from now on it'll still be 9 PM. Love you all, muah!

Chapter 22
He wouldn't allow Song Ling to be enjoyed by others.
There were several disposable earplugs on the bedside table. Song Ling filled a bag and plugged both ears tightly before going to sleep.
When I woke up the next morning, the terminal reminded me of several missed call requests.
"Wen Chuan, is there something urgent?"
Song Ling spoke with a slightly nasal tone.
At this moment, Luo Wenchuan had already entered the hotel elevator with his suitcase.
After locating Song Ling's terminal, Luo Wenchuan had a bad feeling. Hearing Song Ling's voice as she woke up, he became even more certain of his guess.
Song Ling is an Alpha, so it's normal for him to indulge himself occasionally. But he won't allow, absolutely won't allow, this person he hasn't yet possessed to be enjoyed by someone else beforehand.
"Honey, what brings you here?"
A person wearing a black shirt opened the door and came out, the collarbone showing through the unbuttoned neckline.
Luo Wenchuan's gaze swept over Song Ling's neck and collarbone, and only after confirming that there were no suspicious marks did his tense heart relax a little.
