Xiao Zhan stared at Wang Yibo in shock for a while. 'Unbelievable. Sir Yibo really is my roommate.' Sharing a room with 'Lan Zhan' wasn't really in Xiao Zhan's bucket list. After coming to the current dimension he was in, all he wanted was to see how the 'Lan Zhan' from this particular dimension was doing. When he realized that the current dimension's 'Lan Zhan' that is Wang Yibo was a Duke and a loyal subordinate of the king, he stopped worrying and decided to let go. However, his fate was quite cursed. The more he tried to run, the more he ran into him.

Wang Yibo turned his head and sighed. "I was the one who asked them to prepare two beds." "What?!" Xiao Zhan shrieked. "What are you planning?" "I'll use the lower bunk since I weigh more than you." Wang Yibo said as he sat down on the bed.

"Just for your information, I also had to take the official exam enter the guild. So I am qualified to be the honor's high-ranking swordsman." Wang Yibo continued as he turned to look at Xiao Zhan. "No! I mean-" But before Xiao Zhan could continue, Wang Yibo cut through him. "Isn't it better to share a room with someone who knows everything like me?" Wang Yibo asked.

"How is it good?" Xiao Zhan countered. "I'm still a trainee Tang San, hoping I can have a peaceful life, nothing more than that." "Whatever." Wang Yibo said. "Do as you like." Xiao Zhan replied in the same tone as he turned around and started unpacking.

"Also-" Xiao Zhan turned to look at Wang Yibo, but his eyes bulged when he saw the latter removing his shirt. "What are you doing?!" Xiao Zhan shouted as he covered his face. "Taking my shirt off." Wang Yibo replied in his same, monotonous tone before throwing it down on the floor and loosening his hair. "Also, we should keep living like normal." Xiao Zhan turned away from Wang Yibo, his whole face burning red.

'Why does his body look so unreal?' Underneath that robe of his, was a bulky, muscular eight pack. His muscles rippled through his skin as he flexed them. Xiao Zhan turned away and removed his wig and loosened his hair. "If you say so," At that moment, the two of them made eye contact with each other. "I will also live in this room like normal. Hope you co-operate." Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo looked at each other as the silent battle between them began.

Xiao Zhan continued unpacking, not bothering to look at Wang Yibo again. "By the way," Wang Yibo spoke up, making Xiao Zhan stop. 'Why did he stop mid-way?' Xiao Zhan turned around again, and was stunned to see Wang Yibo right behind him, almost glued to him. Not expecting something like this to happen, Xiao Zhan shrieked and tried to back away. However, Wang Yibo grabbed his arm and leaned forward towards his ear.

'What the-' "How often do your heat cycles occur?" Wang Yibo whispered in Xiao Zhan's ear, making Xiao Zhan gasp slightly, due to being so close to Wang Yibo, who was currently shirtless as well as how his musky scent of campfire was so strong, Xiao Zhan felt a little dizzy.

'He's clearly doing this to make you weak so that you'll run away! Don't fall for it Xiao Zhan!' "Once at the beginning of every month." Xiao Zhan replied. Wang Yibo nodded before he let go of Xiao Zhan again and turned around as if nothing happened. Xiao Zhan breathed in deeply once before he continued unpacking his luggage.

It had been a week since Xiao Zhan had joined the guild. While the lessons were boring, he could handle them and the sword well. However, the only problem was...

Xiao Zhan yawned as he got down from the upper bunk bed. "You're awake?" Wang Yibo asked as he saw Xiao Zhan rubbing his eyes sleepily. "Did you slee- ah!" Xiao Zhan was about to ask Wang Yibo if he slept well as he opened his eyes and was shocked to see the latter standing in front of him... shirtless as water droplets kept trickling out of his hair before sliding down his perfect god-like body. Wang Yibo himself didn't seem to notice that fact and simply wiped his hair with a towel.

"Hurry up or you'll be late." Wang Yibo said as he continued dabbing his hair with his towel before sitting down on the bed. "I know!" Xiao Zhan shouted feeling embarrassed as he rushed into the washroom, his face beet red and slammed the door. Wang Yibo smirked as he saw Xiao Zhan feel embarrassed, although he even found it a bit cute. 'Feisty omega is so shy to seeing an alpha's body, huh? I have to admit it's... cute.'

Xiao Zhan quickly freshened up before putting on his disguise and left the room. 'What is Sir Yibo thinking?' He thought as his face burned red. 'He told me we should live like normal. But he suddenly starts taking his shirt off in front of me! Is that his 'normal'? Does he take off his shirt in front of every omega he lives with? Or does do it only with me?'

'Does he think I'm a shy omega and am gonna run away? Damn! His body's like a Greek god's! Would Lan Zhan's body have been the same? The muscles from his hands to the shoulders and his hip are all in harmony. Especially the shoulder blades.'

"... San. Tang San." Xiao Zhan suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder, making him shriek and turn around and see Cao Yuchen. "Huh?!" "You seem distracted lately. Did something happen?" Cao Yuchen asked with a smile. 'Yes! Wang Fucking Yibo happened!!' "No nothing. Maybe I'm just tired." Xiao Zhan said.

"Oh. Is it... because of Yibo?" Cao Yuchen asked making Xiao Zhan feel shocked as his face turned a little red, although he quickly laughed nervously. "Why does Sir Yibo have anything to do with this?" Xiao Zhan asked. "You've been weird ever since you started sharing your room with him. Did he tease you?" Cao Yuchen asked. "No no! Sir Yibo is really good to me!" "I see. If you have any problems, you can tell me. We're friends, right?" Cao Yuchen said with a smile. "Thank you, A-Chen."

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan was bumped against by someone, making him stumble forward slightly. "Leaving without saying sorry." Cao Yuchen said angrily. "It's okay. Let's have lunch." Xiao Zhan replied, trying to divert the topic.

'Sir Yibo is a problem too, but...' Xiao Zhan smiled as he and Cao Yuchen went over to the cafeteria, both of them holding a tray of food. However, the atmosphere was sullen and unfriendly. "The atmosphere is quite cold." Cao Yuchen said making Xiao Zhan hum in agreement.

'I knew this was gonna happen. But, even if civilians are mistreated by nobles, they only put up with it because of the social barrier. Although there is no barrier status in the honor, the hatred is nearly rooted to the cell. It's going to be hard to mingle with them.'

"Tang San, there a seat there." Cao Yuchen said as he pointed at an empty place behind Sun Jian. As the two of them walked over, Sun Jian stuck his leg out, making Xiao Zhan trip over and fall down, the food spilling all over his clothes. "Tang San!" Cao Yuchen shouted as he ran to help him up. "Are you okay?" "I'm sorry." Sun Jian said mockingly. "My legs were just too long to control."
