It was time for everyone's midday break.
Old Wo was in the middle of taking a sip of hot water from his thermos when he spotted Shen Qiao passing by the door with a girl at his side. He suddenly froze-

His sensitive alpha's sense of smell told him that the girl was an omega.

He accidentally tilted his thermos a little too far, scalding himself with a bit of water. He yelped and set his thermos aside, then quickly looked out the door once more. His eyes were practically glittering, filled up with one flashing word:

Gossip!

Everyone at the HQ knew that Shen Qiao was allergic to omega pheromones, and yet what was Old Wo seeing with his own two eyes? Shen Qiao had brought an omega girl into the HQ!

Old Wo's first reaction was to see if Lu Zhe was around. But after scanning the training room, he remembered that Lu Zhe had been spending most of his time with the coach and manager as of late. Lu Zhe would either be in the coach's conference room or the manager's office.

After watching Shen Qiao and the girl move down the hall, Old Wo picked up his thermos and made his way back over to Er-Hua's desk. He rapped his knuckles against the desk and said, "Guess what I just saw."

Er-Hua pulled one side of his headphones off his ear. He heard that gossipy tone in Old Wo's voice and shot him a dirty look. "If you want to tell me, tell me. If you don't, forget it."

Old Wo didn't even hesitate. He instantly spilled the beans. "I just saw Wolf Cub bringing an omega into the HQ. They went into the meeting room next door."

"An omega?" Qian Bao tossed a cookie into her mouth. Her eyes lit up with interest.

Zheng Zhizhuo had just been facing off against Zhao Yue in a 1v1. They happened to finish at exactly that moment, so Zheng Zhizhuo tugged off his headset and asked, "What omega?"

Qian Bao grinned and turned to tell him, "Old Wo says your Wolfy-ge brought an omega back here. Dunno if it's true or not."

Er-Hua stroked his chin. "Probably just an ordinary friend, right? Or maybe a relative?"

Before anyone could answer, Shen Qiao reentered the training room. The atmosphere suddenly seemed to get a little chillier. Everyone who had heard Old Wo's gossip set their sights on Shen Qiao.

But Shen Qiao was completely oblivious. He minded his own business, moving to his desk to fetch a few packs of snacks from his drawers before going to the fridge to grab some drinks.

Zheng Zhizhuo watched him for a moment, then took the initiative to ask, "Wolfy-ge, I have some little pastries here. Do you want them?"

Shen Qiao instantly looked over. He didn't know what Lu Qianshuang liked to eat, so he didn't turn down Zheng Zhizhuo's kind offer. He nodded and said, "Thanks."

Old Wo was too much of a gossip to let this go, but he was afraid Shen Qiao wouldn't tell him anything if he asked. So he frantically signaled Qian Bao with his pheromones. Qian Bao shot him a scathing glare, warning him to calm down before she turned back to Shen Qiao.

Very casually, she asked, "Wolf Cub, why are you suddenly looking for snacks? Do we have guests at the HQ?"

Shen Qiao hummed absently, in a vaguely affirmative way. But he didn't say anything else.

Old Wo couldn't hold back any longer. "Who is it? I think I saw a very attractive figure passing by."

Shen Qiao lifted his brows. He organized the snacks in his desk a bit, then straightened up and faced Old Wo. He seriously stated, "That's my little sister."
