245 To Explain Or Not To Explain? (1/2)

Su Yan lifted his hand to tug at Nie Chang's sleeve again but held back at the last moment. Ugh. He definitely couldn't interrupt him again. It hadn't been that long since the last time, after all. Ah, but he wanted to tell him! It was so obvious now that that Kang Lei was actually the male lead! Hadn't they discussed this before? He should tell him what he had figured out.

In the end, Su Yan was so occupied with his thoughts that he missed the next paragraphs. So he finally still tugged at Nie Chang's sleeve.

Nie Chang stopped reading and looked at his little darling that seemed less than happy. He had pursed his lips and furrowed his brows and was looking at him with reproach. Uh … It seemed he had done something horrible? Whatever it was? ”What's the matter, darling?”

”You're too fast!”

”Too fast?” Nie Chang's brows raised. Hadn't he read at the same tempo the whole time? How come he was suddenly too fast?

”Yes. Start over from where Nangong Min grabbed Kang Lei's arm.”

Nie Chang's lips curved in a knowing smile. ”Oh, that part, yes?”

”Mn. What about it? You don't want to read again from there?”

”No, no. I just wanted to make sure I understood you right.” Nie Chang looked back at his phone. He definitely wouldn't say out loud what he thought about that.

Su Yan had some doubts about the way Nie Chang grinned but since his boyfriend kept silent there was nothing he could do. He couldn't accuse him of thinking something mean without proof, right? Thus he just listened when Nie Chang started over from where his thoughts had trailed off.

[With Kang Lei in their team, they had no trouble attracting another seven teammates. After all, he was one of the best in their year. Actually, if one asked Nangong Min, then Kang Lei wasn't just one of the best but the best. Ah, his friend was so great!]

”Mn!” Su Yan gave a triumphant chuckle. Hah, he had known it would be like that! This novel was so predictable. Or maybe he was just that good?

Nie Chang grinned and patted his head but he didn't stop reading. If he always allowed Su Yan to interrupt him, he would never manage to read the whole story to him. So he had to set priorities.

[Looking at their group of nine Nangong Min winced. Ugh. It looked like he was the only Beta in this group?]

”Eh? What's a Beta?”

Despite his previous resolution, Nie Chang did pause this time. Now, what to do? Explain or not explain? Well, if he explained Beta, then he'd need to explain Alpha too and if he explained Alpha …

”I don't know. Maybe it's a cadet who isn't as good.”
