Chapter 148: The Sunshine Beta and the Obsessive Alpha 14

2 PM.

When Xu Jiayan was pulling He Xu, preparing to head home, they unexpectedly ran into his older brother at the entrance of their apartment complex… and an unexpected male Alpha.

The two were entangled in a heated argument.

The Alpha reached out to embrace the Omega, but the Omega dodged and retaliated with a resounding slap.

“Leng Yi, get the hell away from me!”

“If you lay a hand on me again, I swear I’ll slap you to death!”

Xu Jiayan had never imagined that Leng Yi would reappear in his life, nor had he thought that this scumbag would be fortunate enough to be reborn.

The reason he hadn’t killed Leng Yi after his rebirth was partly because he didn’t want to involve his younger brother, but more importantly, he didn’t want to hold the crimes Leng Yi committed in his past life against the current Leng Yi. He simply wanted to live as two parallel lines in the same world—never intersecting, never overlapping.

But Leng Yi had reappeared, carrying all the memories of their past life.

That’s right! Leng Yi had also been reborn after his death, just a year and a half later than Xu Jiayan.

“Xu Jiayan, let’s start over,” Leng Yi said with a smile, sharing his thoughts. “Heaven has given us a second chance. This time, we won’t end up in the same tragic situation as before.”

Xu Jiayan felt nothing but disgust upon hearing this. “Do you think I’d fall in love with a scumbag?!”

The Omega, who was usually gentle and smiling in public, now wore a dark expression, his eyes filled with coldness—a deep loathing and repulsion.

He stared directly at Leng Yi and said coldly, “Leng Yi, I haven’t forgotten how you treated me in the past, and I never will.”

“Why should I agree to your so-called fresh start? Who do you think you are?”

The person he least wanted to interact with in this reborn life was Leng Yi, the man who had caused his younger brother’s death, imprisoned him, and turned him into a caged canary.

This scumbag didn’t deserve to be reborn!

Leng Yi lowered his gaze, his eyes brimming with an unwavering determination to possess Xu Jiayan.

“Darling, you can’t escape.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to stay in the golden cage I built for you and grow old with me?”

His voice was low and hoarse, as eerie as a venomous snake hissing with its tongue flickering.

Xu Jiayan responded with icy ruthlessness, “No!”

“My future has never included you, and the mistakes of the past won’t be repeated.”

He would no longer be Leng Yi’s plaything, nor would he lose his career or family.

In this life, he had worked hard to graduate, secure a job, and protect his only brother. He would never allow anyone to destroy his happiness.

Leng Yi grabbed Xu Jiayan’s wrist, his aggressive gaze piercing through him.

“If the canary doesn’t live in the cage, where else do you think you can run?!”

Xu Jiayan struggled to pry Leng Yi’s hand off, his eyes filled with hatred.

“If you’re sick in the head, go take your medicine. Stop acting crazy!”

Seeing his brother being bullied, Xu Jiayan immediately let go of He Xu’s hand and rushed to Xu Jiayan’s side, pulling the deranged Leng Yi away.

“Where did this lunatic come from?!”

“If you mess with my brother, you’re asking for a beating!”

Leng Yi took a few steps back. Upon seeing the face he had once known in his past life, he was momentarily stunned before realizing that this was Xu Jiayan’s younger brother.

—An ordinary beta, Xu Jiayan.

The beta he had once used to threaten Xu Jiayan, who should have died two years ago, was now alive and had grown into such a striking figure.

This beta had once foolishly tried to use his own death to help Xu Jiayan escape Leng Yi’s control, leading to Xu Jiayan’s deep hatred for him.

It had also led to the tragic end between him and Xu Jiayan.

Xu Jiayan had been holding it together, but the moment he saw his younger brother standing in front of Leng Yi, he couldn’t help but recall the scenes from his past life.

His brother had fallen from a high building, his face disfigured, yet it had made no difference to Leng Yi—like a drop of water falling into the ocean.

Too insignificant to make even the slightest ripple.

In the eyes of the wealthy, his brother’s death was so trivial that it could be easily swept under the rug.

No one but him would remember that there was once a brilliant beta teenager who died in the summer, just as he was about to step into university.

As Xu Jiayan thought of the events of his past life and saw his younger brother standing protectively in front of him, he couldn’t hold back his tears, which fell hotly onto the beta’s shoulder.

Xu Jiayan turned around, seeing his brother in tears, and frantically wiped them away.

“Brother, don’t cry!”

“I’ll teach him a lesson for you. I’ll make sure he never dares to bother you again.”

At this moment, Xu Jiayan hadn’t yet recognized that the Alpha harassing his brother was the original protagonist, Leng Yi. He simply thought it was some random idiot Alpha.

He had been standing a bit far from Xu Jiayan earlier, only seeing the actions between him and Leng Yi but not hearing their conversation.

Otherwise, he would have directly pummeled Leng Yi.

Xu Jiayan held his younger brother tightly, his gaze towards Leng Yi filled with murderous intent.

“Leng Yi, don’t waste this hard-earned opportunity, or I won’t mind…”

‘Killing you again!’

Xu Jiayan didn’t voice the last part, but Leng Yi understood his meaning.

Not just Leng Yi, but He Xu, who had hurried over, also saw the intent in Xu Jiayan’s eyes.

—Xu Jiayan wanted to kill that Alpha.

He Xu drew this conclusion from Xu Jiayan’s gaze but found it hard to believe.

Why would AYan’s brother want to kill that person? Did they have some kind of blood feud?
