Gege = Older Brother

---

Ah, this was unbelievable.

Ning Xi pinched his own face hard in front of the mirror.

Although he had always been handsome and naturally beautiful, he had to admit that this face, with a few more details, was indeed quite pleasing to the eye.

It just… seemed to lack a bit of masculinity?

“What are you looking at?” The Alpha male student was displeased. “Are you that curious about what an Alpha’s restroom looks like?”

Ning Xi ignored the Alpha, his eyes fixed on Song Yize, staring so intently that it was as if he was about to bore a hole through him.

There was always an inexplicable sense of competition between Alphas, especially when a beautiful Omega was staring so blatantly at another Alpha right in front of them.

The male Alpha flared up.

“F***, you’re actually ignoring me?” The Alpha grabbed Ning Xi by the shoulder and yanked him around, dragging him toward Song Yize. “Song Yize, this rogue Omega barged into the Alpha restroom and pinned me to the ground. If you don’t do something about this, I’m going straight to the director!”

This person was purely looking for trouble, right?

Song Yize frowned. “You pinned him down?”

Ning Xi habitually denied, “No.”

The slender, pale, and beautiful boy stood there obediently, looking so easy to bully.

He really didn’t seem like someone who could pin an Alpha down with his bare hands.

“You’ve got no shame ah!” The male student was furious. “My arm still hurts from when you twisted it…”

“Wait a minute.” Ning Xi raised his hand to interrupt him. “We can talk about that later. I need to confirm something first.”

With that, he ignored the Alpha’s aggrieved expression, swiftly bypassed him and Song Yize, and dashed straight outside.

The male Alpha was fuming. “Look at this rogue…”

“Yang Yongxin, you’re still in class.” Song Yize glanced at him indifferently. “You know how bad Old Yan’s temper is.”

Yang Yongxin was still unconvinced.

“I’ll take him to see the director. You should go back to class first.”

Hearing Song Yize say this, Yang Yongxin finally remembered his principle of “not bothering with an Omega.” Puffing up his cheeks in frustration, he turned and went back to class.

Ning Xi ran out of the restroom, wanting to see if he had really transmigrated into the book.

He dashed past several classrooms and saw that the class plaques all had “Xian Chang No. 1 High School” engraved on them.

This definitely wasn’t the high school he knew.

“Hey, no running in the hallways. It’s dangerous ah.”

Suddenly, a female teacher appeared from around the corner.

Her tone was slightly sharp, and she had an expression that made it clear she wasn’t easy to reason with.

Ning Xi came to an abrupt stop.

The female teacher sized Ning Xi up, adjusted her glasses, and said, “What’s going on? Where’s your uniform? And why are you outside the classroom during class time? Which class are you from?”

Ning Xi didn’t want to waste time, so he casually made something up. “Teacher, I have PE class right now.”

“If you’re going to lie, at least make it believable. Since when does a self-study program for seniors include PE?” The teacher frowned.

Ning Xi: “…”

S** what luck.

“Ha, I was just joking. Senior year is stressful ah,” Ning Xi said. “I just came out to use the restroom.”

He didn’t wait to see if the teacher believed him and just pointed ahead, saying, “Ai, teacher, I really can’t hold it anymore! I’m leaving first ah!”

Without looking back, Ning Xi took off running, completely ignoring the female teacher shouting behind him, “The restroom isn’t even in that direction!”

Ning Xi sprinted out of the teaching building and onto the school’s main road.　　

The white-walled, red-roofed building had a large “No. 2” marked on it. Not far ahead was a laboratory building, and at the end of the road was a basketball court, where a few younger students were playing ball.

Ah, a real senior high school.

Ning Xi reached into his pocket and found that his phone was still there.

He quickly pulled it out, only to see that the screen was shattered.

“S***,” Ning Xi lightly cursed. He had just gotten a new phone the day before yesterday, and now, before he even had time to enjoy it fully, it was already broken. What the hell was this ah.

He pressed the power button, but the screen remained dark.

Was it out of battery?

Ning Xi fiddled with it for a while, but no matter what he did, the phone wouldn’t turn on.

Just as he was about to give up and put it back in his pocket, an angry voice roared from behind him:

“Stop right there!”

Ning Xi stiffened, frozen in place as he turned around in a daze.

A middle-aged man with a protruding belly was huffing and puffing as he walked towards him, yelling as he walked, “How many times have I told you! No phones allowed in school! You’re still quite arrogant ah, to stand in the middle of the road playing with it—do you even put the school rules in your eyes ah!”

Ning Xi glanced around and realized that he was the only person here. Hesitantly, he pointed at himself. “…Me?”

The director had already reached Ning Xi and snatched his phone away. “I just said at yesterday’s flag-raising ceremony—anyone caught bringing a phone, I’ll confiscate it on sight. Do you take my words as a wind past your ear? And you’re not even wearing your uniform. You don’t even look like a senior student ah! What class are you from?”

“No…” Ning Xi scratched his head and said, “Uh, I’m actually not a student at this school…”

“You’re not from this school? What, are you from the special education school next door?” The director had experienced great storms of tricks before and wasn’t easily fooled. “Hurry up and tell me—what class? Omega or Beta?”

Ω… β…

Ah, ah, ah, he really didn’t understand the setting of this book ah.

Well, at least he could confirm one thing—the director wasn’t a math teacher.

Since lying earlier didn’t work, he might as well just explain things directly.

“Teacher, I’m really not a student here. I just finished the college entrance exam this year,” Ning Xi explained. “I’m really sorry for disturbing the younger students’ studies. Could you return my phone first?”

The director’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. “That’s the same excuse that the person I caught yesterday used. If you’re all gonna make something up, at least make it believable. You really think we don’t have brains ah.”

Wow, the students here were really something.

The director seemed completely convinced that Ning Xi was a student and showed no mercy. “Not talking, huh? Fine. I’ll hold onto your phone for now. When you finally come to your senses, you can come to my office to get a reflection paper. Otherwise, don’t even think about getting it back before graduation.”

Ning Xi must have really lost his edge today—his brain wasn’t working, and even his quick tongue failed him. “Graduation? Hey, teacher, I really need my phone ah. I can’t be without it ah. But it seems like it’s out of battery. Could you at least charge it for me first?”

The director had never seen a student this shameless before. Breaking school rules and still having the audacity to ask the teacher to charge his phone? “Have you learned anything from your books ah? It’s always ‘phone, phone, phone’ all day long. You’re addicted. Why don’t you try learning from the excellent Alphas, Betas, and Omegas around you instead of acting so careless?”

Ning Xi was struggling to keep up with this old man’s logic.

Why wasn’t telling the truth working either?

At this moment, a voice interrupted them.

“Director Liu, the fence over by the basketball court is broken. Should we contact someone to repair it?”

Ning Xi peeked out and took a look.

F***. It was actually Song Yize.

“Yize ah.” Director Liu’s tone immediately softened. “Alright, I’ll take care of it. How’s the cleaning going?”

At that moment, Song Yize was holding a broom. His school uniform was clean and neat, and through the thin fabric, the broad outline of his shoulder blades was faintly visible.

“Only Xulin Road is left. Everything else is pretty much done.” The boy’s voice was low, his tone serious, with just the right amount of restraint in his words. He looked both obedient and effortlessly cool.

Director Liu nodded, then seemed to think of something and turned to Ning Xi. “You, go with Song Yize. Bringing a phone to school? Go sweep Xulin Road clean by yourself!”

?

Why did he, a hard-earned college graduate, have to sweep the streets of some random high school ah.

Ning Xi’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Director, I…”

“But,” Song Yize suddenly spoke, “he’s an Omega.”

“Judging by the looks of it, he hasn’t differentiated yet.” Director Liu gave Ning Xi a glance and asked, “Have you differentiated?”

Ning Xi didn’t understand this high-quality conversation of theirs at all. “Maybe… not? But, Director…”

Director Liu clearly wasn’t interested in hearing any more nonsense. He waved at Song Yize. “Take him with you. Let him reflect properly. Once he’s done cleaning, have him come to my office to pick up his reflection paper.”

“Ai…” Before Ning Xi could get another word out, Director Liu had already walked away with his phone, not even looking back.

Ning Xi felt like the whole world had gone wrong.

Sleeping with trash, sweeping the floors of a high school—even transmigrating into a novel wasn’t the worst part anymore.

The only thing connecting him to the real world had just been taken away.

Now what?

Ning Xi rubbed his forehead and sighed, then looked at Song Yize as if resigned. “Uh, didi, let me explain ah. I’m not a student at this high school. I…”

“It’s currently the lockdown period for controlled campus access. Senior students are voluntarily returning for self-study, and every entry and exit requires registration. Students from this school can’t leave, and outsiders can’t get in. Since you brought a phone, that means you broke school rules and should be punished accordingly,”

Song Yize held the broom upright, both hands resting on top of it, leaning forward slightly in a relaxed posture.

“Don’t you think so ah, ‘gege’?”
