Chapter 2
Gu Fang put his knuckles against his lips, his long eyelashes lowered, settling on the school badge on the boy's chest, "Hello, I'm... Gu Fang."
Lu Si lowered his eyes and looked at his whorl of hair.
"Hey, Si'er," Xiao Yuanshan tilted his chair and took off one of his headphones. "Do you think your names are a good match?"
Lu Si pulled out a pen from his pocket and threw it heavily onto Xiao Yuanshan's desk. The pen bounced and slid to the edge of the desk.
Xiao Yuanshan just shut up.
Gu Fang didn't even listen to what Xiao Yuanshan had just said. He was about to stand up a little late: "I'll let you..."
Lu Si walked in from the back, lifted the chair and hung it on the table: "No need."
Gu Fang watched him move the table and chairs: "You..."
Lu Si didn't look at him, and his voice came faintly from behind the wall of books: "Don't mind it, I often disturb my classmates, and it's inconvenient for you to sit with me."
The tall young man lifted up the table and chair, bent his knee and kicked the back of Xiao Yuanshan's chair.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yuanshan tilted his head back.
"Switch with me." Lu Si said softly.
Xiao Yuanshan twirled Lu Si's signature pen in a circle. "What if I say no?"
Chen Yi howled first: "Brother Lu! You really can't bear to leave me, woooooo!"
Under Lu Si's tired and cold gaze, Xiao Yuanshan lost his temper. He threw the pen into the chair where Lu Si was hanging and sighed, "I have to change my position for this kind of treatment. Straight A is really killing me."
Xiao Yuanshan was a Beta. As he stood up to lift his chair, he glanced at the back of Gu Fang's head as he sorted through his books. The beautiful Omega was absentminded, his phone flickering on and off, though he had no time to check it.
He suddenly thought, Lu Si wouldn't ask him to sit over there just because he was a Beta, right?
He turned his head, trying to read something from Lu Si's sleepy and impatient face.
"Lu Si!"
Suddenly there was a loud roar outside the window.
Xiao Yuanshan and Chen Yi shuddered at the same time.
The students who were chattering about the answers were also stunned.
What's going on? Brother Lu and Lao Liu are having a fight today!
"Why are you moving your chair instead of staying in your seat during self-study class?" Director Liu was wandering around with his hands behind his back. He originally wanted to come to Class 2 to take care of the transfer students, but he caught the troublemaker as soon as he arrived.
Still two.
"And Xiao Yuanshan! What are you and Lu Si doing hanging around back there? Can't you sit still? Do you want to stand outside for a while?"
Xiao Yuanshan hurriedly explained: "Director Liu, we are changing seats."
Old Liu rejected the idea without a second thought: "Why change? Letting you guys sit together will make it easier to chat during class, right?" He pointed a finger at Lu Si: "You two, go back to your seats. It's your third year of high school now. It's better to focus on studying!"
Lu Si sighed and looked at the ceiling.
Director Liu stood outside the window, his eyes like cameras, staring at the whole class so hard that they dared not breathe.
He had no choice but to go back to where he came from.
When the bell rang, Director Liu finally let Class 2 go.
This was the last class in the afternoon, and everyone went out in groups of three or four to look for food.
Chen Yi was still wailing: "Old Liu couldn't have come at any other time, but he had to come during the last class!"
"Brother Si, are you working in the cafeteria?" Xiao Yuanshan asked while he was cleaning.
Lu Si couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell on the table. His school uniform covered his entire head, leaving only his thin white neck exposed. He raised his hand, waved it tiredly, and then fell down.
"Okay, you go to sleep, we'll leave first." Xiao Yuanshan and Chen Yi picked up the basketball and left.
There were no people left in the classroom. Gu Fang glanced at his deskmate and walked towards the bathroom through the back door.
He was supposed to come in the morning, but Director Liu said that the senior high school students were taking their opening exams during the day, so it would be useless for him to come.
When he found the end, Gu Fang discovered that the toilets in this school were divided into men's and women's only.
His schooling experience was limited, having only attended a foreign middle school for half a month during his freshman year. He wasn't sure about other schools, but the restrooms at foreign middle schools were not only separate for men and women, but also for ABO, and were exceptionally spacious.
That design is truly illogical. Nearly half of the first floor is taken up by a luxurious bathroom. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were in a bathroom fixtures mall.
Gu Fang is not being pretentious, he just instinctively dislikes other people's pheromones.
This is related to the pheromone secretion syndrome he suffered from. Although he recovered from the disease, the sequelae are still serious.
However, since he had decided to go to school here, he had to overcome these obstacles that others did not even consider obstacles. Otherwise, Mr. Gu would ruthlessly send him back to the foreign school.
Gu Fang sighed and stepped into the bathroom with all his strength.
It was better than he'd imagined. The smell of disinfectant was strong. It reminded him of hospitals, and the experience of living in those white buildings since birth. This made him feel at ease with this unpleasant smell.
Are you comfortable with the smell of the bathroom?
That sounds a bit perverted.
Gu Fang smiled at himself in the mirror, but the light in his eyes was faint. He washed his hands and walked into the last cubicle.
The barrier sticker is transparent and can hardly be seen if it is slightly blocked by the collar.
The smell of pheromones can be detected through the nose and glands. Wearing a mask all day is not practical, and the school has always strictly controlled the pheromones of students. Most of the time, it is only blocked by the glands, which is enough to minimize his discomfort with other pheromones.
Since recovering from the illness, I have been left with such sequelae.
When he is not in estrus, he can sense other people's pheromones normally, but it is difficult for him to feel anything, and he may even feel nauseous and uncomfortable.
He had read many books about AB pheromones and gradually realized that for someone like him, he would probably never experience what it was like to be attracted by pheromones.
Gu Fang did not regard this as a problem. Being able to get along with others normally was his highest hope.
He lowered his eyes and threw the torn packaging into the trash can.
The deep blue eyes moved suddenly under the incandescent light.
but……
He doesn't seem to dislike the smell of mint.
It was the end of August and the summer heat had not yet subsided, and the air-conditioning units in the teaching building were still running at a whirring pace.
As soon as Gu Fang returned to Class 2, he felt like he had entered another world, enveloped in a cool breeze. The breeze was even more pronounced in the corner, where the vertical air conditioner blew directly onto the back of Lu Si's neck.
Gu Fang frowned imperceptibly. There were only a few students from the same school left in the classroom, eating from their thermoses. The aroma of food filled the air. Gu Fang lowered his voice, "Can I turn up the air conditioning a bit?"
The other students all looked up at him blankly, as if they couldn't react.
Gu Fang asked again. A girl, probably a Beta, blushed and nodded. She spoke first: "Sorry, Gu Fang, we didn't notice that Lu Ge was sleeping in the back."
Gu Fang shook his head and turned up the temperature: "It's okay."
Gu Fang walked out of the classroom holding his cell phone and vaguely heard what his classmates were talking about. He heard his own name clearly, and words like "He is so handsome".
Gu Fang was absent-minded. This world doesn't just look at appearance.
You also have to smell the pheromones.
The phone suddenly vibrated, and Gu Fang was stunned. Then he realized that since the study session started, Le Jiayu had sent him more than 20 messages and 6 missed calls.
As soon as he swiped the button to answer the call, he moved the phone away from him.
Sure enough, there was a roar from the other end of the phone.
"Gu Fang! You finally picked up the phone!"
"I was wrong." Gu Fang admitted his mistake with a good attitude, "I just went to the bathroom and my phone was on silent. Sorry, I didn't hear it."
When Le Jiayu heard his gentle voice, her anger subsided a little. "Alright, alright, I'm glad you're okay. I thought you'd mysteriously disappeared on the first day of school... By the way, where are you, Fangfang? Why didn't I see you at the entrance of Class 12?"
Gu Fang paused and said, "I'm in Class 2."
"Why did you go to Class 2 instead of waiting for me after school?"
Le Jiayu was confused, but then realized, "You're transferring to Class 2?! Wasn't it agreed to be Class 12 from the beginning? It's closer to Class 11 where I'm studying."
Gu Fang couldn't help feeling guilty and lowered his eyelids: "At first I thought any class would be fine, but when I came here with my uncle to handle the paperwork yesterday, I saw..."
Le Jiayu judged others by her own standards: "Did you see any handsome A in Class 2?"
"..." Gu Fang said seriously, "I saw the model student list at the school gate. There's a very talented student in Class 2 who got full marks in both math and physics last semester, so I wanted to learn a thing or two from him."
He spoke very fluently in one breath, as if he had been reciting a script all night.
Le Jiayu was genuinely frightened. After a moment of recollection, he suddenly fell silent: "... Could it be that you're talking about Lu Si?"
Gu Fang's heart skipped a beat, but his voice remained steady: "Yeah, I remember it was also this name."
"Silly Fangfang," Le Jiayu said with pity, "If you really follow Lu Si, you will only learn bad things."
Gu Fang suddenly remembered what Director Liu had said before, and he choked up and felt very uncomfortable.
Le Jiayu didn't continue the topic. "I'll add you to a group, and you'll know when the time comes. I'll wait for you at the entrance of Qiushi Building and take you to the cafeteria to explore the route first."
The group that Le Jiayu invited him to join was called Twelve Handsome A Radar Group 1.
After entering, Gu Fang realized that this group was full of Omegas from No. 12 Middle School. In addition, there were two or three other groups.
There are few Omegas, and during special times, it is very common for them to stick together.
Gu Fang flipped through the group chat logs. The daily chats in the group clearly reflected the two main needs of the current Omega middle school student population: physical needs like borrowing inhibitors and barrier patches, and spiritual needs like radar detection of handsome A.
There is a group photo album that categorizes the handsome guys from each grade in No. 12 Middle School.
Gu Fang paused, and found that there was actually an album specifically named [Brother Lu Si].
It could be named Lu Si or Lu Ge, but it just happened to be called Brother Lu Si...
Gu Fang looked up at Le Jiayu, who was sitting across the table. "Meaningless repetition of words is something that would disgust the person involved, right?"
Le Jiayu slurped a mouthful of noodles, his eyes fixed on A who was coming and going. The detection radar above his head lit up, and he hummed twice casually.
After getting a response, Gu Fang raised his lips slightly and clicked on the photo album with satisfaction.
There are many candid photos, side profile photos and sports photos, and even the model list is not spared.
He scanned and noted them one by one, then casually scrolled to the comment section below.
-What a pity, our brother Lu can only watch but not pick.
-Lu. Premature love killer. Lao Liu's sweet little cotton-padded jacket.
-Lu Si even beat up Omegas, don’t you know?
-That matter is unclear to begin with, please don't spread rumors.
-Just take a look, Lu Si...is really not suitable for dating, in every aspect.
-Is this the legendary A who is even more awesome than the school bully?
Gu Fang reported the third post, and when he exited with a choked breath, he saw an album titled [School Bully, My Male God].
Gu Fang clicked in out of curiosity and suddenly fell silent. Blinking, he looked up in confusion: "Jing Xingye is also in No. 12 Middle School?"
Le Jiayu reluctantly withdrew her gaze and glanced at his phone: "Fang Fang, after all, he was your darling when they were little. How could you not care about your current situation? By the way, he's in Class 3 next to yours."
"Would you take something that happened when he was seven or eight years old seriously?" Gu Fang asked back.
Le Jiayu was speechless: "Yeah, when I was in kindergarten, I had a crush on three A's in one semester. Now I can't even remember their last names."
Gu Fang stood up to clear the dishes and sighed, "You are indeed worthy of me, Lele."
After dinner, there was still some time before evening self-study, so Le Jiayu took him to explore the school’s small supermarket.
No. 12 Middle School is built on a hillside, with the playground at the top, the teaching area midway, and a small supermarket at the foot. Going down to buy groceries requires descending a long flight of stairs. Due to its age, many of the steps are covered in moss, making them a dangerous place to stumble upon if you're not careful.
Gu Fang looked around and admired the school's wonderful design. He also discovered that there was a large playground at the foot of the mountain.
"Two playgrounds?" He remembered there was another one on the top of the mountain.
Le Jiayu also glanced at the sports area below. Groups of students were strolling around after lunch. "Oh, that's for the first and second year students during recess. The one at the top of the mountain is for us third year students. We don't do exercises, we just run. Our schedule is different from theirs."
When talking about running, Gu Fang hesitated for a moment.
Le Jiayu patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, Fangfang. Mr. Gu must have made arrangements with the school. You don't have to run the entire break."
Gu Fang was a bit surprised to find a bakery selling freshly made goods next to the small supermarket. He had studied at a foreign middle school for half a month, and there was even a whole commercial street on campus, but it was rare to find a store like this at No. 12 Middle School that was not just for daily necessities.
Gu hesitated outside the store for a moment, went in and bought a bag of freshly baked toast, and when passing by the beverage area, he picked up a box of AD calcium milk.
When Le Jiayu saw the AD calcium in his hand, she was stunned. A smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Fang Fang, you are really loyal. The things you like will not change for eight hundred years."
Gu Fang lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.
The design of No. 12 Middle School has always been reasonable.
Of the three main teaching buildings, the Qiushi Building, the innermost one for senior high school, is located right next to the playground at the top of the mountain, isolated from the recreational area at the foot of the mountain. Its only advantage is that it's closest to the cafeteria.
On the way back to Qiushi Building, Le Jiayu sighed for the umpteenth time, "Fangfang, it would be so great if you were an A, beautiful, white, stupid, and rich. I would definitely pester you to be my boyfriend since we were little, and I would never let you lose everything!"
Many men and women on the street cast their gazes over. When A looked over, Le Jiayu stepped in front of Gu Fang like a protective shield before the radar went off.
Gu Fang felt helpless.
Like many of his relatives... Le Jiayu always seemed to treat him as some fragile protection.
In fact, he really wanted to straighten his back and say that he had recovered, but the reality of the sequelae still existed.
He couldn't refuse his friend's kindness. Growing up away from school, he only had Le Jiayu as his friend.
Gu Fang patted Le Jiayu's shoulder. Le Jiayu looked back in confusion. Gu Fang gave him a bottle of AD calcium and whispered, pursing his lips: "Don't wait for me after evening self-study."
Le Jiayu took it and said, "Mr. Gu is here to pick you up?"
He nodded.
When I returned to the classroom, the head covered in school uniform was still frozen on the table.
Gu Fang's fingers on the bag of toast tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again, and then he tightened his jaw and put it into the hole in the table.
The sound of basketballs hitting each other could be heard from outside the corridor. Chen Yi and the others had returned, drenched in sweat. As soon as they entered, they started making a fuss. They lifted their coats to fan themselves and shouted, "Who has the remote? Turn down the temperature! It's so hot!"
Gu Fang looked at the remote control on his desk, hesitated for a moment, and said nothing.
The air was filled with the smell of sweat and a strong Alpha scent, coming from all sorts of people. He didn't know if it was because they had just finished their meal, but he frowned instantly, feeling a nauseous feeling churning in his stomach.
Only then did Gu Fang realize that he had indeed chosen the wrong position.
The air conditioner is on, so the doors and windows are closed and there is no ventilation.
He hurriedly lowered his head and rummaged through his bag for a mask. Just as he was about to put it on, his deskmate let out a cold, click-the-duck sound. Gu Fangxin jumped, and was about to apologize for waking him when, with bony, white fingers, he pushed back the school uniform on his head, and raised his handsome, fierce face towards the group of boys.
The voice is cold and magnetic, adding a chill to the air conditioning behind you:
"Are you a baboon?"
"Will you die if you keep your voice down? Are you blind and can't see anyone sleeping?"
"Can you hold back on your pheromones? If you can't, get out. Do you understand?"
Chen Yi and the others were stunned. They said "oh" and put down their hands that were lifting up the hem of her clothes.
His eyes fell on Gu Fang who was reading a book with his head down, and he suddenly realized that there was an Omega in the back row that had never been entered by an Omega for many years, and he was Lu Ge's deskmate.
After a moment of hesitation, they all ran to the corridor to get rid of the smell.
The entire Class 2 fell silent, carefully watching the expression of the person behind them.
Lu Si withdrew his gaze indifferently, and when he inadvertently glanced at his new deskmate who was reading seriously with his head down, his gaze paused for a moment.
It seems like the other party doesn't need a mask anymore, so it shouldn't have any impact?
So, O is indeed troublesome.
...Hmm? Lu Si paused suddenly, narrowing his eyes slightly.
The profile of that delicate nose was bathed in a faint blush under the incandescent light. Although it was very light, it was particularly noticeable against the porcelain-white skin.
He was puzzled. Was this discomfort or something else?
I accidentally released pheromones when I was angry just now. Although I quickly took them back, did he still smell it?
Before he looked away uncertainly, the profile suddenly turned towards him, revealing a high nose bridge, tightly pursed lips, a faint mole at the end of the right eye, and a pair of clear, bright, and blue eyes.
Lu Si was stunned for a moment, perhaps because of those strange blue eyes, or perhaps just because of the purity in those eyes.
"Thanks."
He heard his deskmate say softly.
The sound was like the music of a spring flowing over rocks, which made Lu Si's ears, who were sensitive to music, itch for a moment.
