    Chapter 295: The Third Day of Transmigrating into the ABO World

    An Yi continued in a gentle tone, "Big brother, you're already working so hard managing the entire group. How could I add more burden to you? Besides, Xiao Xuan will have to join the company sooner or later. Training him early benefits both him and the group."

    He paused, his gaze shifting between An Qing and An Xuan, before adding with a meaningful, somewhat teasing tone: "I've already said I don't wanna be stuck in the company forever. So, if any of you fall in love later, don't get a wild hair and try to dump your work on this lazy guy~ Just so you know—I'm not taking it."

    An Qing brushed it off as a joke, shaking his head with a helpless look on his usually stern face. "Don't worry, that won't happen."

    An Xuan, meanwhile, was still processing the bad news that he'd just been "drafted."

    An Teng pondered for a moment, looking at his second son, who clearly had a "I wanna retire" look on his face, then at his youngest, who still had that youthful, immature air about him. Finally, he nodded. "Xiao Yi's got a point. Xiao Xuan needs the experience."

    He turned to An Xuan. "Xiao Xuan, what do you say?"

    What could An Xuan say?

    Under his second brother's warm, disarming smile and his father's authoritative gaze, he could only suck it up and nod. "I... I can try."

    "Good."

    An Teng had the final say. "Then it's settled. But Xiao Xuan is still in school—his studies can't be affected. Xiao Yi, you'll stick around for a few more years, at least until Xiao Xuan can really get the hang of it and stand on his own."

    An Yi wasn't surprised at all. He hadn't expected to be able to wash his hands of it immediately anyway.

    A few years? To him, that was nothing but a blink of the eye.

    He smiled and nodded. "No problem, Dad. I'll make sure to *teach* Xiao Xuan well."

    He deliberately emphasized the word "teach," which sent a chill down An Xuan's spine. He felt like his second brother's smile was hiding something he couldn't quite figure out.

    A demon! His second brother was a total demon!!

    After breakfast, An Xuan packed his bags with a gloomy face. Today was the first day of his sophomore year, and he'd decided to live on campus, declining the driver's service with the excuse that he "didn't want his good-for-nothing second brother to drive him."

    "Second brother, you're really going to be the death of me!" An Xuan wailed as he stuffed things into his backpack. "Just looking at those company files gives me a headache!"

    An Yi leaned against the doorframe, totally at ease, watching him scramble around, a gentle smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "The more you look at it, the less it'll hurt. You'll get used to it. Getting an early start won't hurt you."

    His tone was gentle, but left no room for argument.

    An Xuan: ......

    Finally, An Yi picked up the car keys. "Come on, I'll drive you."

    The black sedan cruised smoothly toward An Xuan's university.

    The car was quiet. An Yi focused on driving, his profile lit by the passing lights outside the window, looking even more refined—and carrying a kind of otherworldly aloofness that made him seem almost unreal.

    An Xuan stole a few glances at him, thinking his second brother was a bit different today.

    But he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was different.

    It was like... he was more relaxed? And also harder to figure out.

    The car pulled into the lively university campus and finally stopped in front of An Xuan's dorm building.

    "We're here." An Yi shut off the engine and unbuckled his seatbelt.

    An Xuan's dorm was a four-person room, and it was pretty nice.

    When they arrived, only one guy was there—a Beta, wearing headphones and playing games.

    Seeing An Xuan and An Yi walk in, he pulled off his headphones and said hi.

    An Yi clearly remembered from the original owner's memories that An Xuan's dorm had four guys—two Alphas and two Betas.

    The one in front of him was probably one of the Beta roommates, who the original owner had never met.

    He gave the guy a slight nod and offered a perfect, warm smile. "Hello, I'm An Xuan's second brother."

    The guy was momentarily dazzled by An Yi's smile, pausing for a beat before hurriedly responding, "Second brother!"

    Damn!

    A top-tier Alpha!

    How was he even better-looking than An Xuan?!

    An Yi helped carry An Xuan's luggage into the dorm. He didn't linger long—after briefly helping An Xuan organize things, he got ready to leave.

    "Second brother, I'll walk you out," An Xuan quickly said.

    "No need." An Yi waved a hand. "You sort out your stuff. I'll head down myself."

    He patted An Xuan on the shoulder and turned to walk out of the dorm.

    His tall, straight figure disappeared around the corner of the hallway, leaving only a faint, clean, and unique scent of rose pheromones lingering in the air.

    An Xuan stood at the dorm entrance, staring in the direction his second brother had vanished, still lamenting the upcoming "company boot camp."

    Just then, the door of the neighboring dorm swung open, and a figure rushed out in a hurry, nearly crashing into An Xuan.

    "Hey! An Xuan! You're here!" The newcomer was a tall, handsome guy with a big grin on his face—none other than An Xuan's roommate, Wei Yang.

    He had just been visiting the room next door.

    "Wei Yang." An Xuan snapped back to reality and greeted him.

    Wei Yang followed An Xuan's gaze down the hallway, only catching a glimpse of an expensive black leather shoe just disappearing around the corner.

    The shoe was polished to a high shine, reflecting a cold, hard gleam under the dim lighting of the dorm hallway—a stark contrast to the sneakers and canvas shoes worn by the other students.

    "What are you looking at? Who was that?" Wei Yang asked curiously.

    An Xuan withdrew his gaze and explained, "My second brother. He just dropped me off and left."

    "Your second brother?" Wei Yang blinked, walking back into the dorm with An Xuan. "The one who's the Vice President of An Group? Wow, just from the back, you can tell he's got serious presence! What's he like? Is he a super serious workaholic like your oldest brother?"

    An Xuan was dizzy from the rapid-fire questions and said with a helpless shrug, "...He's not quite like my oldest brother."

    He thought for a moment, trying to find the right words to describe him: "My second brother, he..."

    He scratched his head. "He's a demon, and today he totally set me up!"

    "Huh? Set you up? How?" Wei Yang immediately perked up with interest.

    The two young men chattered noisily as they entered the dorm and closed the door, shutting out the topic of the second brother.

    By now, An Yi had already walked downstairs alone.

    He stood by the car, not getting in right away, but taking in the lively campus around him.

    Students brimming with youthful energy strolled by in pairs and groups, their laughter and chatter nonstop, the air thick with the pheromones of young Alphas and Omegas, buzzing with life.

    It felt weird not being able to tell someone's gender at a glance—having to rely on pheromones instead.

    He narrowed his eyes slightly, sunlight falling on his strikingly handsome features, his breathtaking beauty making passersby do double takes, yet the aura he gave off kept people from daring to get close.

    To him, this world was novel, and this Alpha body was novel too.

    He remembered that Alphas had a rut period?

    An Yi smiled, and he shifted his power to reshape his body—and just like that, it was gone.
