A Beta Who Was Courted Crazily for Love (Translated)

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

If Yang An were to vote for the most embarrassing moment in his life, this moment would undoubtedly rank at the top.

Mr. Yu's gentle question overlapped with the beta's soft panting in the booth, like a surround sound system that relentlessly amplified the volume, shaking Yang An to the brink of fainting.

"Mr. Yu..." Yang An closed his eyes with difficulty, a long-forgotten sense of embarrassment and helplessness surging up, "I, I..."

Damn it, what could he say to ease this awkward situation?

"...Mm...ah...is...is anyone there..."

Yang An snapped back to reality, calming himself down and responded, "Customer, please wait. I'll find the controller for you right away!"

After saying that, he lowered his voice and hurriedly spoke to Yu Qingyan, "Mr. Yu, I-I'm on a night shift right now. That was a customer from Fik's Place. Uh, he..."

Not knowing how to explain, he mumbled, "It's a bit complicated. I'll explain everything when we talk later, no, tomorrow. I still have to work tonight."

Yu Qingyuan's expression stiffened, his knuckles cracking as he clenched them. He forced himself to suppress the dark emotions that shouldn't have surfaced, his voice still gentle and kind.

He thoughtfully said, "Alright, no rush, Xiao An. You take care of your work first. We'll talk tomorrow."

"Okay, sorry about that..." Yang An whispered, "Then, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Yang An let out a long sigh of relief. The nerve-wracking call was finally over.

"...Did you find it..?."

"Found it, found it. Please hold on!" Yang An didn't have time to process his emotions further and quickly threw himself back into work.

Perhaps work was about gaining proficiency through practice. Yang An went from being flustered and overwhelmed dealing with a single customer to calmly and numbly explaining products to seven or eight customers at once, all in the span of one night.

When Yang An dragged his tired body back to his room, he almost didn't want to move, but his usual routine urged him to take a shower.

Yang An took a quick shower. The warm water alleviated the fatigue in his body, bringing a soft and cozy comfort, but the mental exhaustion remained. His eyelids drooped as he yawned, climbing into bed, covering himself with a blanket, and falling into a deep sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

A dreamless night.

The Next Day

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

Yang An was awakened by the alarm on his optical brain, feeling groggy and, for the first time, tempted to stay in bed.

He pulled the blanket up, burying his face into it bit by bit, leaving only his messy bangs hanging over the edge, with a few strands sticking up.

But the alarm continued persistently, the "buzzing" vibration under his pillow not stopping.

"Ugh—" Yang An forced his eyes open, half-squinting as he fumbled for the optical brain and lightly pressed it—the alarm stopped.

With his hair in a mess, he slowly sat up, his eyes blurry, still half-asleep.

So tired, he didn't want to get up, didn't want to go to work—just wanted to lie around doing nothing.

He ran his hands through his hair, his head drooping lower, his already slouched back bending again. His face touched the blanket, and his eyes uncontrollably closed again.
