look familiar

Zou Yuqing listened quietly, feeling somewhat envious of the Summer Xu Wang was talking about. No one had ever treated him so sincerely, except his friends. He should have been content with just having friends, but when he thought of his own "tragic" love, he realized how vastly different people truly were.

If Wei Mingjue could be like Xu Wang... but it's impossible, he once again showed a self-deprecating smile.

"He said his black tea should be a little more bitter, but I don't think it's too bitter. Although it looks light, it doesn't make people feel oppressive." Xu Wang smiled and said, "Just like you."

"Same as me?" Zou Yuqing also laughed, "It's your filter, right?"

"No, you two really give me the same feeling, it's just..."

Before he could finish his words, a male voice came from behind them: "Excuse me! I see you're heading towards the School of Economics and Management. I'd like to ask how to get to Class 1 of the School of Economics and Management."

Turning around, a boy who looked very sunny was standing behind them.

Class 1 of Economics and Management? Zou Yuqing and Xu Wang exchanged a glance. "We're in Class 1." But the faces before them were unfamiliar. "Are you the new one?" Xu Wang asked.

The boy's eyes lit up immediately. He wasn't very tall, but standing between two 5'8" tall guys, he looked like a typical Omega. Hearing Xu Wang say that, he got a little excited. "What a coincidence! I'm the new guy. My name is Jiang Lu. Please take care of me. You guys should all be Alphas, right?"

"Hello, my name is Xu Wang, and his is Zou Yuqing. However, I'm a Beta, and he's an Alpha." Xu Wang also introduced Zou Yuqing and said with a smile, "We were just talking about our new classmates, and we didn't expect to run into each other."

"What a coincidence! I'm a directionally challenged person, and I just happened to see you two walking towards the academy." Jiang Lu smiled sheepishly, then quickly glanced at Zou Yuqing, who was standing quietly to the side. "But... have I seen you somewhere before? Ah, I don't mean anything else, you just look familiar!"

An Omega saying to an Alpha "Have you seen me somewhere before" was a bit purposeful. Jiang Lu felt something was wrong after he said it and explained immediately.

Zou Yuqing glanced at Jiang Lu. He seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember. Just as he was about to shake his head, he heard the Omega clapped his hands and shouted, "Bus! We met on the bus! I gave you a suppressant patch back then because your pheromones were overflowing. Was it you? If I remember correctly, your pheromones are vodka!"

Zou Yuqing was startled, his lips pursed, looking a little embarrassed. It was him, the one who had helped him on the bus. After being marked by Wei Mingjue, he reeked of vodka, making people think his pheromones were actually vodka.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Xu Wang hadn't expected such an experience between the two of them, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He glanced at Zou Yuqing, and his friend's lips looked a little pale, so he smiled and said, "You must have smelled it wrongly. Omegas shouldn't smell Alpha pheromones randomly, or you'll get into trouble."

Jiang Lu only felt the atmosphere freeze for a moment, but he remained firm, "I can't smell it wrong, this smell is very similar to the pheromone of my first love! There is no way I'm wrong. Although I'm an Omega, I'm of the inferior sex, so smelling the pheromone of an Alpha won't have much effect on me, don't worry!" After saying that, he smiled.

First love's pheromones. Even at this point, Zou Yuqing's first reaction was still, "Could this first love he's talking about be Wei Mingjue?" But on closer inspection, that didn't seem likely. Wasn't it said that Wei Mingjue only liked Alphas? No, not "like," but he only slept with Alphas.

Seeing that the two were silent, Jiang Lu scratched his head, "Did I really smell it wrong? That's impossible..." He moved closer to Zou Yuqing and wanted to sniff it, but was pushed away by Xu Wang.

"Hey, be careful, you are an Omega after all." Xu Wang didn't expect that the little curly-haired boy would be so rampant and even tried to smell Zou Yuqing's pheromones.

"I'm sorry, I'm just too curious." Jiang Lu smiled innocently, and this look made the two of them not angry at all, but just a little helpless.

The topic of pheromones was quickly diverted. Jiang Lu was too lively, so he and Xu Wang soon started chatting with each other. Zou Yuqing was caught in the middle and although he didn't say much, the atmosphere was still pretty good.

Returning to school was just a matter of registration. Because of Jiang Lu's joining, their class also held a welcome party. Jiang Lu was cute and had a good personality, so the classmates liked him very much.

Who doesn’t like a cute Omega?

After returning to school, Zou Yuqing prepared to go home. The three of them walked out of the school gate together, as if they had known each other for many years. Jiang Lu held Zou Yuqing's arm, and Xu Wang hooked his arm around Zou Yuqing's neck. The two of them chattered, and Zou Yuqing smiled faintly. The atmosphere was particularly good.

However, there was a Mercedes-Benz parked not far from the school gate. In the car, Wei Mingjue stared at the Omega holding Zou Yuqing's hand, while Xia Fan on the side also looked at Xu Wang's smiling face towards Zou Yuqing, and remained silent.

After parting with Xu Wang, Zou Yuqing and Jiang Lu boarded the bus together. Without Xu Wang, Zou Yuqing felt a little awkward being alone together. After all, he wasn't talkative, unlike Xu Wang.

But he thought too much. Jiang Lu and Xu Wang were equally familiar with each other. As soon as they got in the car, Jiang Lu started honking.

"Were you in your susceptible period that day? You know, I thought you were amazing at the time, actually daring to ride in a car like that! Even though my pheromone perception ability is very weak, I could still sense that you were a high-level person. Did you see the changes in the faces of the Alphas behind you?"

Being alone meant they would start talking about their previous encounter. Zou Yuqing had prepared himself mentally before getting in the car. He nodded awkwardly, "Well, I'm sorry about that day, and thank you for the suppression sticker."

"It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, I have the habit of carrying a restraint patch with me, otherwise you would be beaten if you walked around like that!" Jiang Lu joked.

Zou Yuqing didn't know how to respond. He hadn't intended to walk around with Wei Mingjue's pheromones. Pursing his lips, he looked at Jiang Lu's clothes. "Isn't it hot wearing long sleeves in this heat?"

"Huh?" Jiang Lu seemed a little confused and flustered, as if he hadn't expected Zou Yuqing to suddenly pay attention to him. "Oh... It's not hot. Omegas aren't that afraid of heat. I'm almost at my stop. I'll be leaving now. See you in class!"

"Okay." Zou Yuqing replied, watching Jiang Lu walk to the car door and get out of the car. Jiang Lu seemed to have a habit of subconsciously pulling up his sleeves, like to cover himself up very tightly.

I still don't know much about Omegas, Zou Yuqing thought, looking out the window. As he got out of the car and prepared to walk back to the neighborhood, he heard a voice calling out from behind him.

"Zou Yuqing!"

He was very familiar with this voice. Zou Yuqing turned around and saw that it was indeed Zou Yuyang.
