Chapter 38 Chapter 38 “I’ve kissed you, I’ve hugged you,…
There was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air, and Pei Shuyu put his arms on Lu Hean's shoulders.
Lu Hean didn't say anything. He leaned close to Pei Shuyu and kissed him directly. Pei Shuyu's head was held down, and he closed his eyes. His legs were hanging in the air and he couldn't move. He almost leaned on Pei Shuyu.
The bitter taste of red wine spreads in the mouth.
Lu Hean's movements were gentle and slow. It didn't last long before he moved away a little and pulled out a silver thread.
Pei Shuyu asked Lu Hean: "Do you feel better?"
"No."
Lu Hean did not lie this time.
After kissing Pei Shuyu, he felt even worse, a sense of emptiness. He was about to move closer for another kiss, but Pei Shuyu dodged him.
This was definitely Pei Shuyu's fastest reaction yet. Seeing Lu He'an's dissatisfied expression, Pei Shuyu stuttered a little and said vaguely, "Then, then you should learn how to restrain yourself. Your school's courses... should also have targeted training in the future, so just consider it as early adaptation."
Looking at Pei Shuyu's red ears, Lu Hean decided to let him go, since there was still plenty of time.
In the next few days, Lu Hean pushed Pei Shuyu around to relax and occasionally took him to Lin Kong's place for a meal and to check his leg injury.
Pei Shuyu was embarrassed at first, but Lu Hean kept comforting him. Plus, Lin Kong invited him many times, so Pei Shuyu gave in.
After dinner, Lin Kong went to watch TV. The task of washing the dishes naturally fell to Lu Hean, who cleared the dishes and went into the kitchen.
Pei Shuyu was eating fruit alone, chatting on his phone. Most of the messages were from Xiao Qingyang and Yu Wei.
I don’t know who started a group, and the four of them are in it.
Xiao Qingyang and Yu Wei were chatting animatedly in the group chat, occasionally tagging Pei Shuyu. Fu Zhouxing only spoke out when he felt annoyed by them.
The latest news is that Yu Wei asked how Pei Shuyu was recovering, and complained that they were sent back to practice the basics because they did not perform well in the last drill.
Pei Shuyu smiled, enjoying the fun, and started typing.
Pei Shuyu: Xiao Qingyang said you mistook an alpha for an omega and said you wanted to protect him. But you were eventually "killed" and then realized the alpha was from the opposing faction?
【Xiao Qingyang has left the group chat.】
Yu Wei invited Xiao Qingyang to join the group chat.
Yu Wei: @Xiao Qingyang?
The message was replied almost instantly.
Xiao Qingyang: (Kneeling)
Yu Wei: @Pei Shuyu, he's so fair and clean-skinned, who would have thought he was an alpha?! And when I said he was an omega, he didn't object!
Fu Zhouxing: Didn't he refute it? If I remember correctly, the alpha had a throat injury and couldn't speak.
The message ended there, and Yu Wei said nothing more. Pei Shuyu put down his phone and rested his chin on his hand. When the enthusiasm for the trip faded, he still missed Saifan a little and wanted to go back.
Lu Hean's cell phone on the table rang, and he didn't know who was calling.
"Lu Hean, phone call." Pei Shuyu shouted towards the kitchen.
Lu Hean leaned over and looked out, his hands dripping with water and detergent foam, "Ah, brother, help me answer it."
"Oh, sure."
There was no note on the phone, Pei Shuyu picked up the phone before he could even say "Hello" politely.
An angry voice came from the other end.
"Lu Hean! You're going to die! It's been so long since you came back to school!!!"
Pei Shuyu moved away a little and said, "Sorry, he's still washing the dishes. I'll ask him to get back to you later, okay?"
“…”
silence.
Pei Shuyu felt like an eternity had passed without a sound from the other side. Then he heard a "wow!"
"You, you, you, you, you're not the boyfriend Lu Hean mentioned, are you?! Are you two together?"
Pei Shuyu suddenly remembered that when he first met Lu Hean, he came to him because he needed a boyfriend. Well, this identity finally came in handy. He cleared his throat and said, "Yes, I am."
There was another "wow" from the other end of the line, and then with a bit of caution and gossip, he asked, "So, you two, what, what did you do?"
Before Pei Shuyu could answer, the phone was snatched away. He looked up and met Lu Hean's gaze, but the questioning voice on the phone was gone.
After Lu Hean heard the voice clearly, he said unhappily, "Yu Jingheng, is there no one copying your homework?"
"Well, you're number one, you're awesome, okay? I can only copy you. Hey! You said you're going out to play for a few days with your little boyfriend? Sure thing, Lu Hean."
Yu Jingheng posts more than a dozen messages on WeChat Moments every day, and Lu Hean really doesn't want to talk to him too much.
"If you have nothing else, hang up."
"Hey hey hey! No! Bring him to meet us sometime and I'll check him for you." Yu Jingheng still wanted to insist.
"No need." Lu Hean hung up the phone directly.
Just by listening to Lu Hean's words, Pei Shuyu could only guess that it was about studying.
His vacation was still long, but Lu Hean was a student after all, and no matter how excellent his grades were, he couldn't miss a month of school. Pei Shuyu didn't want him to delay his studies because of him.
So he and Lu Hean discussed going home after the trip.
"Have you had enough fun?" Lu Hean asked, holding his cheek.
A cup of brewed tea was handed to Pei Shuyu, with wisps of smoke rising from it. Pei Shuyu took it and blew on it. "It's been a long time since I started playing, and I still have to go back to the orphanage."
"Are you the only one?" Lu Hean asked.
"Ah?" Pei Shuyu didn't understand what he meant.
"Didn't the dean ask you to take me with you next month?" Lu Hean blinked, his eyes slightly raised, showing an uncontrollable cunning.
Pei Shuyu thought that he had heard everything that happened that day.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Pei Shuyu lowered his head, "Ah, this..."
Pei Shuyu admitted that he and Lu Hean had gotten along well these past few days, but he knew deep down what their relationship was all about. Kids have pride and fear being laughed at by their roommates. Plus, Lu Hean had helped him out at the bar, so he was willing to go along with him in a white lie. He had just called his roommate, so he considered the matter his repayment.
As for the dean, he initially planned to tell him, "Oh, my partner is too busy. I'll definitely do it next time." If the dean really didn't believe him, he would find another way.
In short, he had never thought of taking Lu Hean to see the dean.
"Let's talk about it later." Pei Shuyu put down his teacup and looked away. He didn't dare to look at Lu Hean's expression. He knew without a doubt that he must have looked aggrieved and pitiful.
So he chose not to watch it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Hean stood up, held his face with both hands, turned it over, and the two of them faced each other.
Pei Shuyu: Huh?
"I helped you through your sensitive period, aren't you grateful?" Lu He looked at him quietly, still with that gentle expression, but the smile in his eyes seemed fake. "I've kissed you, I've hugged you, and now you want to draw a line between us?"
Pei Shuyu's grip on the teacup suddenly tightened.
Outside the glass window, a pair of birds snuggled together, helping each other clean their feathers, chirping to attract Pei Shuyu's attention.
That is obviously a very incompatible pair, a cuckoo and a shrike.
"You should know better than me that our relationship will only last for a month." Pei Shuyu said this, trying to make Lu Hean restrain himself.
"So what?" Lu Hean suddenly stepped back, sat back in his seat, and tapped the table with his fingertips. "These are two different things, one for each."
Pei Shuyu smelled a faint sour and bitter smell in the air, which made him frown. Now that he was conscious, no alpha could tolerate the aura of another alpha invading his territory.
"Pheromones, put them away." Pei Shuyu was a little annoyed, but he still tried to keep his tone calm.
"Ha..." Lu Hean suddenly laughed out loud, his tongue touching his cheek, "When brother needed me before, he said my pheromones didn't smell bad."
Pei Shuyu was stunned. That was not what he meant.
The pheromones in the air are becoming more and more abundant and bitter.
Lin Kong, who was happily watching TV in his room, couldn't help but come out, "He An! Do you want to be beaten? Put away your pheromones!"
Pei Shuyu was thin-skinned and gave in, "I didn't say you smell bad, put it away quickly." After all, this was someone else's home, even if he was Lu Hean's father.
"Take me there, and I'll put it away."
It seemed as if he was determined to carry on playing rogue to the end.
"What are you doing with your temper again?" Pei Shuyu couldn't understand his train of thought. Why did he have to go back with him? "Didn't you fall behind in your studies? Only by studying hard can you..."
"I've always been number one." Lu Hean said disapprovingly.
Pei Shuyu was completely choked up, his mouth half-open, unable to utter a word. Previously, he was the one who had to persuade the children in the orphanage who didn't like studying. Normally, all he had to do was tell them to study hard and make progress, and then give them some food, and those children would be motivated for a long time.
This was the first time he had met a difficult student like Lu Hean, and he was most afraid of encountering this kind of person.
He has good grades and is very stubborn.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you with me." Pei Shuyu waved his hands with a headache, "Put it away quickly."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Lu Hean contentedly put away the pheromones and put on a well-behaved smile on his face.
Lin Kong looked at his worthless son with disdain and closed the door. He decided to call the school and ask them to put pheromone interference training on the agenda.
The weather was getting cooler, and dead leaves were swirling on the ground.
After Lu Hean got out of the car, he helped Pei Shuyu back home. Alphas recover quickly. Pei Shuyu's wounds had already scabbed over, and he could walk a few steps.
The first thing Pei Shuyu did when he got home was to send a message in the group, and only Fu Zhouxing deducted "1".
Pei Shuyu: Where are Xiao Qingyang and Yu Wei? Aren't they here?
Fu Zhouxing: One went out to have fun, and the other went to apologize. You'll see for yourself when you come back.
So that's what happened. Pei Shuyu continued typing, not noticing Lu Hean who had been standing next to him for a while. Lu Hean sat down and leaned against Pei Shuyu, asking lazily, "Who are you chatting with?"
"Roommate." Pei Shuyu looked at him, quickly replied with a "hmm" and turned off his phone. He also tried to use his shoulder to push away some of the weight that was pressing on him. "Lu Hean, don't you need to go back to school?"
Lu Hean was like a sticky candy. Not only was he not pushed away, but he pressed himself even closer to him, burying his face deep in his neck, and said in a muffled voice, "But I'm so tired... a little sleepy."
He felt the weight on his shoulders and the dependent rubbing against his neck, and Pei Shuyu's heart softened.
Finally he sighed and softened his tone: "Then you go to bed? I'll call you when dinner is ready." He raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally gently patted Lu Hean's arm that was resting on him, with a soothing gesture.
Hearing this, Lu Hean finally raised his face from Pei Shuyu's neck a little, half-opened his sleepy eyes and looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Are you injured enough to cook dinner?"
Pei Shuyu opened the food delivery app and replied calmly: "I can order takeout. Don't you usually order takeout?"
Lu Hean looked at his phone and laughed softly, the vibration of his chest clearly transmitted to Pei Shuyu.
Two hours later, the doorbell rang.
Pei Shuyu leaned against the wall to open the door and brought in the takeaway.
After arranging everything, he turned and walked towards the bedroom. Lu Hean was still not awake.
“Knock knock.”
He tapped the door twice with his knuckles, but there was no response. He tried pushing it again, and it slid open silently a crack.
The bedroom was gloomy. The heavy curtains blocked out the last rays of sunlight from outside the window. Only the light from the living room leaked in through the crack in the door, barely outlining the bulge in the bed.
Lu Hean curled up in the back of the bed, his back to the door, wrapped tightly in the quilt, with only a few messy black hair showing. He slept very deeply, as if he had fallen into the abyss of a dream from which he could not escape.
Pei Shuyu limped to the bedside and patted his arm, "Lu Hean, get up, Lu Hean."
Lu Hean didn't respond after calling him several times. Pei Shuyu wanted to just lift the quilt and pull him up.
He reached for the corner of the quilt, ready to exert force, and just as his fingertips were about to touch the soft quilt, Lu Hean suddenly stretched out a hand to grab him, and he couldn't stand steadily because of the pull on one foot.
"Hmm!" A short, muffled groan.
The world was spinning.
He was like a puppet with its strings cut, and he fell on Lu Hean unexpectedly.
His cheek bumped into the other person's warm, thinly clothed chest, and his nose was instantly filled with Lu Hean's scent. A sharp stinging pain came from the injured leg, making his vision go black.
In a panic, he frantically tried to prop himself up and escape this predicament of being too close. His legs were powerless, so he could only barely support himself with his elbows on the mattress beside Lu Hean, trying to use the force to lift his upper body.
Just as he struggled to raise his head, his gaze unexpectedly met a pair of eyes that had just opened.
