Forced to Date 3 Alphas in a Comic: Chapter 15

Forced to Date 3 Alphas in a Comic: Chapter 15: Being Ignored

By the time Mi Yu arrived at school, only one class remained for the day.

He walked toward the teaching building, then suddenly felt that his behavior of running to school for the last class was quite strange. Others might not read too much into his actions, but Ji Yongning definitely would.

Thinking that this gossiping man might take the opportunity to mock him, he felt somewhat reluctant to return to the classroom.

He simply changed direction and headed toward the basketball gym.

When Chao Xun arrived at the gym after school, seeing him appear before his eyes, he would probably smile with joy.

Mi Yu thought to himself, who told him to love him so hopelessly.

For his recent state of mind, and for him to pass the assessment and smoothly become his teammate, Mi Yu felt it was necessary to take care of the other’s emotions lately.

Thinking of this, Mi Yu’s mood became pleasant, and he looked forward to the summer competition.

However, his expectations fell through.

That evening when Chao Xun entered the gym, Mi Yu, who was practicing shots beyond the three-point line, spotted the slightly thin youth at a glance. If not for his sharp eyes, he definitely would have overlooked him.

Tsk. Still too thin. When Uncle Li delivers dinner tonight, I’ll kindly share a bit more with him.

Mi Yu thought to himself, subtly observing the other.

But Chao Xun only calmly glanced at him, then shifted his gaze and went to the corner to put down his bag.

Mi Yu’s hand paused, and the basketball he had thrown lost its aim, clanging against the rim and bouncing off to the side.

The school heartthrob who considered his shooting posture flawlessly handsome furrowed his brows. Did he just not see me?

After putting down his bag, Chao Xun did warm-up exercises alone. A few minutes later, he went out through another door.

Passing through that door led to a standard track field. It seemed he planned to run laps first.

Speechless. This person not only has weak constitution but also poor eyesight.

Mi Yu continued shooting. Not long after, Zhuang Xu also entered the basketball gym.

Why does Brother Mi look like a pea shooter?

Zhuang Xu immediately saw Mi Yu monopolizing a basketball court by himself, with a pile of scattered basketballs around him, as he expressionlessly threw them out one after another.

“Brother Mi, thought you weren’t coming today.” Zhuang Xu stepped forward to greet him, then looked at the basketballs all over the floor. “What’s this?”

“Practice.” Mi Yu was concise.

Alright. Zhuang Xu looked around and didn’t see Chao Xun, guessing he had probably gone running.

He had originally planned to tell Mi Yu about what happened at the cafeteria today, but after thinking, decided to wait until after training. So he nodded toward the other and went to the locker room.

Forty minutes later, Chao Xun returned to the court drenched in sweat. Coincidentally, Xie Qianyi also came out of the gym office at this time. Seeing him drinking water, he stepped forward to discuss the arrangements for these two days.

Chao Xun also planned to talk to him about the Saturday assessment. He asked: “Coach, for the matches against Mi Yu, can I choose my own teammates? Just two.”

Xie Qianyi thought for a moment and agreed.

“Who do you want to choose?”

Chao Xun reported the two names he had long decided on, including Zhuang Xu and Wei Tong.

He chose Zhuang Xu because the other was Mi Yu’s friend with good tacit understanding, which could weaken the opponent’s strength; he chose Wei Tong because after playing against him last time, he felt the other’s level was quite good among peers.

To be precise, in a 1v1 situation, he was only slightly inferior to Mi Yu.

Xie Qianyi wasn’t surprised by his choices. What was more unexpected was that these two people were originally in his plan, people he didn’t want to arrange as teammates for Chao Xun.

It wasn’t to make things difficult for him, but because he believed that even without matching him with exceptionally strong teammates, he could still coordinate and win the match.

Xie Qianyi squinted at him for a few seconds, then suddenly asked: “This is to target Mi Yu?”

Chao Xun answered without changing expression: “He’s the strongest in the team. If I don’t choose some teammates, I’m afraid I’ll lose.”

“Fair enough. But for fairness, Mi Yu can also choose his own teammates. If his choices overlap with yours, we’ll ask the chosen person’s opinion.”

Chao Xun nodded: “Okay.”

He was just testing the waters. If it could be settled, the first match would at least be won very easily.

That meant Mi Yu would be beaten very miserably.

That would be best. Breaking the other’s mentality in the first match, and still worrying about the later ones?

But the coach’s agreement was also within his expectations. This was the result of his observation and deduction these past few days. Chao Xun understood that he now had a certain weight in Xie Qianyi’s heart. The so-called assessment should be a show to convince other team members. Otherwise, for a Beta who joined the formal team after only one month, it would inevitably raise questioning voices.

Another point was the test for Mi Yu. Although the coach said he wasn’t just Mi Yu’s partner, Chao Xun believed that after passing the assessment, his coordination with Mi Yu should be the focus, but it would also be easily targeted.

So he needed to additionally remind Mi Yu that team coordination was also very important.

Xie Qianyi smiled and patted his shoulder: “Don’t worry, I have a premonition that you’ll definitely succeed.”

Chao Xun didn’t take his comforting words to heart, only saying thank you.

Returning to the court, Wei Tong happened to see him and asked if he wanted to play. Chao Xun agreed decisively.

Good thing you asked early, otherwise I would have had to ask you first.

Chao Xun thought, walking over without looking sideways. Two people stood beside Wei Tong, and three were across from them. It looked like they were going to play 3v3.

When Chao Xun walked over, Wei Tong said: “You’re on my team, 3v3, let’s go.”

Those six people started playing under one basket. Across half the gym, Mi Yu had just dribbled past two people. When he turned around, he saw the youth in the white T-shirt playing vigorously over there.

After a fierce dunk, he landed and stood still, but didn’t move anymore.

Zhuang Xu ran over to pick up the ball and asked him: “What’s wrong? Not playing anymore?”

Mi Yu replied expressionlessly: “Playing, of course I’m playing. Continue.”

With that, he started running on the court again. The others saw him move and continued playing.

This night, Mi Yu played especially fiercely, switching opponents several times. Until no one dared to match up with him anymore, he finally went to drink water and rest.

He didn’t want to think about where this anger in his chest came from. The reason didn’t need guessing.

He just felt he had been stupid lately, like that silly roe deer who knowingly stepped into a trap, being led around by the other with a carrot.

The school heartthrob who had grown up surrounded by love and admiration since birth had never experienced this kind of sour feeling. He only wanted to escape this loss of control.

Mi Yu reviewed his mental journey this past month and decided to let everything return to the original point: from now on in the team, treat him as an ordinary teammate; at school, treat him as still that shameless pursuer, no response.

Yes, think more about what he did before.

Not worth it.

For the next two days, when they ran into each other at school, they would still nod in greeting, but it was always Chao Xun initiating, Mi Yu ignoring. During evening training, the two had zero communication.

Chao Xun was either running or training with Wei Tong and the others, leaving Mi Yu completely out in the cold.

Although Mi Yu had made up his mind to only treat him as a teammate, seeing him actually ignore him all this time, that displeasure was somehow uncontrollable.

This caused his expression to be cold these two days, with shorter sentence lengths and higher profanity content.

Even Zhuang Xu had been snapped at several times. If not for being long accustomed to his dog temper, Zhuang Xu really would have been unable to resist smashing the ball into that handsome face.

“Can you pass or not, damn it!”

At this moment Mi Yu was again releasing cold attacks indiscriminately. Wang Nan, who had been given the cold shoulder for the nth time, also became irritated and retorted: “Chao Xun can pass, go find him then!”

Instantly Mi Yu’s expression became as terrifying as if he wanted to eat someone. Seeing he was about to lose control of his temper, Zhuang Xu quickly stepped forward to stop him.

“Brother Mi, alright alright, take a break first.”

“I’ll rest my ass!” Mi Yu pushed away the arm blocking in front of him. “He’s like an idiot, can’t pass and can’t understand human speech. Even a donkey that only kicks would play better than him.”

“You—mother—!”

Seeing they were about to argue, Zhuang Xu ignored his resistance and forcibly pulled him to the side, then said in a low voice: “Don’t you want to know why Chao Xun hasn’t come to find you these past few days?”

Before the other could say he didn’t want to know, Zhuang Xu immediately cut in: “The day you weren’t here, Chao Xun was cursed at by an Omega in the cafeteria and had a whole bowl of soup dumped on him.”

Mi Yu’s pushing motion instantly stopped. In his mind appeared the image of the youth sitting on the cafeteria chair, vegetable leaves hanging in his hair, his whole body covered in greasy soup, pitifully facing everyone’s cold ridicule.

“Damn, why are you only telling me now!”

Mi Yu’s imagination provoked even greater anger, mixed with a trace of panic that even he himself didn’t notice.

Zhuang Xu saw his attention had been successfully diverted, then unhurriedly explained: “I was going to tell you, but that day you were in a bad mood so I didn’t. But don’t worry, Old Ji and I were on the scene and helped him resolve it.”

Mi Yu frowned and asked: “How was it resolved?”

Zhuang Xu told him truthfully: “Made that Omega apologize, write a self-criticism, and also compensated for clothes and shoes.”

Ji Yongning’s solution was fine. If it were him, he would also make such demands. But Mi Yu still felt pent-up with anger. The incident happened two days ago, and he only found out now.

“You didn’t tell me, and Old Ji didn’t either?” Mi Yu questioned. “What do you two mean?”

“Old Ji probably thought I told you that night, so he didn’t mention it.”

Mi Yu barely accepted this explanation, then asked: “Which Omega? Do you know him?”

Zhuang Xu took out his phone from his bag and showed him the photo he took: “This person.”

Although from the photo’s perspective, the photographer was somewhat far away, Mi Yu still recognized at a glance that the youth sitting on the chair with head bowed was indeed Chao Xun.

He first carefully examined Chao Xun’s condition. His eyes were covered by hanging bangs, so he couldn’t tell if he had cried, but he did look quite upset.

He then looked at the other standing person, an Omega boy with chestnut curly hair, not tall, very familiar.

Wasn’t this the one who gave him water last time and was rejected.

Mi Yu remembered, and also understood what was going on.

A love rival came to the door. This kind of thing Chao Xun had done plenty of times before too, and some people would report it to him, but he couldn’t be bothered to care.

But seeing this photo, he would rather Chao Xun show some of his previous spirit. Being bullied and not knowing to fight back, sitting there acting in some melodrama?

Mi Yu stared at the photo with pent-up anger for several seconds, before belatedly reacting why he was getting anxious again.

He had just made up his mind to draw a clear line with him.

Feeling his face being slapped, Mi Yu said in a cold voice: “What does this have to do with whether he comes to find me or not, and I don’t care what happens to that sticky plaster either. As long as he didn’t break an arm or leg and affect the match, that’s fine.”

Zhuang Xu: Still pretending here. You’ve been like you’ve eaten explosives these past few days. Chao Xun hasn’t been affected, but we’re about to be blown up by you first.

Zhuang Xu said: “That Omega cursed him for being shameless and clinging to you. Chao Xun didn’t retort. Later he also asked me why you didn’t come that day… probably feeling that he made you annoyed.”

Hearing this, the resentment that had been pent up in Mi Yu’s chest for two days was like a punctured balloon, instantly leaking out. What replaced it was a relief after a misunderstanding was cleared, but it was immediately stopped by his reason, telling him to control his expression.

“Heh, who cares what he thinks.” Mi Yu pulled out the resolution he had just made and ran it through his mind again, choosing a neither salty nor weak tone: “He better not come annoy me.”

Don’t come annoy you? Then you’ll be eating explosives again.

Zhuang Xu saw his clearly softened expression, confirming he probably wasn’t angry anymore, and also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Tomorrow afternoon is his assessment. Chao Xun has to be your opponent, so he definitely needs to train with others.” Zhuang Xu decided to finally strengthen the effect, reminding him, “Don’t forget what the coach said.”

“Got it, so naggy.”
