246 That Was Dangerous (1/2)

Nie Chang paused. This was actually the first part of the story. It seemed it wasn't actually a novel but just a story with a few chapters? Well, that was good too. They could spend a while here in the park, reading the story and then maybe go and eat something before returning home. It would also be a nice memory.

Nie Chang clicked for the next chapter and continued to read.

[As much as Yuan Jing hated his new task he wouldn't jeopardize his career. Thus he opened the screen again and had a look at the current status of the mission. Ah, it seemed the first cadets were already on their way to their assigned areas. Not too bad. They weren't losing any time.

He opened the summaries of the groups and took a look at their data. Well, it was the usual: The best students would each open their own group and manage to have only Alphas as members while the students in the middle of the year's ranking could only grit their teeth and take in those Beta from the bottom to fill up their numbers. There were no —

Yuan Jing blinked and swiped back to the summary of the group he had just seen. He took another look and, indeed, he hadn't been mistaken. The second person that was registered for this group was actually a Beta.]

”Uh!” Su Yan couldn't help but interrupt Nie Chang. ”So you were right. The Betas are really the worse students. Ah Chang, you're so smart!” Su Yan reached up in an attempt to clutch Nie Chang's shirt or maybe even pinch his cheeks but his boyfriend countered him by clasping his hands with his left and continuing to read.

[Yuan Jing frowned. Why was there a Beta in this group? Judging from the other members it could be counted as the second-strongest group that had been formed. With another person as the second member, they might even have been able to contend for the first place. Why would they give up on that and take this person in? Could it be a mistake? Had they somehow registered the wrong person? Or was there another reason?

Yuan Jing clicked on the information about that Beta that had been submitted by the Dinlas Academy. The first thing to fall into his eyes was a photo.

His pupils contracted and for a moment, he just stared at him, his body unwittingly straightening up. When he noticed what he was doing he forcibly shook his head. No, no, this was wrong. However he looked, he was still just a Beta.

Although … Yuan Jing took another look and traced the lines of that face. It was diamond shaped with only slightly-pronounced cheekbones, an upturned nose and a pair of heart-shaped lips.

Alright, he was … cute. Yuan Jing closed his eyes and rubbed his face. Ugh. He didn't even dare to look at the rest of the information. This was dangerous right there. But, well, now he at least knew just how that Beta had gotten into this group.

He sighed and closed the information but his gaze still automatically brushed the name 'Nangong Min' and stored it for later. Hmph, he'd see if that boy would make it through just because he —]

Nie Chang almost coughed. He hurriedly took a deep breath and adjusted the explanation a bit.

[— he was friends with one of the Alphas.]
