Chapter 32
Doctor Xie frowned, looked down at the list in his hand, and seemed to have no idea how to start.
"Alpha's glands are generally well developed, but... you just went through your first susceptible period. You're clearly feeling out of control, right?"
Gu Fang's hair was slightly disheveled, but his blue eyes were calm. "Is it because of the aftereffects?"
"Yes, you have the aftereffects of pheromone secretion syndrome. Coupled with the fact that you just underwent secondary differentiation, your susceptible period is irregular. During this susceptible period, you are extra sensitive to pheromones, and are more likely to lose your mind than the average Alpha."
Unlike Dr. Xiao Xie who regularly visits Gu Fang for checkups, this Dr. Da Xie is clearly more experienced, as can be seen from his age and slightly balding hair.
"My suggestion is that you stay home from school for the first half of the month when you're most susceptible to infection."
Dr. Xie paused and smiled kindly.
"But there's good news. Alpha's susceptible period is only two or three times a year. The aftereffects are also improving. Beyond the susceptible period, the impact on daily life will be minimal, and you won't need to wear a mask on a regular basis."
Having said this, Dr. Xie suddenly paused and glanced at Gu Fang's face obviously.
Gu Fang realized that what he was going to say next was not so easy to say, so he said sympathetically, "You are a doctor, please tell me what you have to say."
Dr. Xie sighed slightly: "You are not yet an adult, right?"
Gu Fang didn't quite understand why he asked this and nodded subconsciously.
"It's a good thing you're not yet an adult. I have a suggestion..." Doctor Xie hesitated, but still spoke truthfully, adhering to professional ethics. "When you're looking for a partner in the future, you can find an Omega with a high pheromone compatibility to alleviate the pain of your sensitive period. Your sensitive period is different from that of an average Alpha. I assume you understand this since you just went through your first sensitive period."
Gu Fang walked out of the consultation room and leaned against the wall to let out a breath before his father and uncle looked over at him.
Doctor Xie was talking to Mr. Gu. Gu Jianlan made jokes from time to time, and Doctor Xie responded with a slight smile.
When Gu Fang came over, Dr. Xiao Xie took the bouquet of flowers from the nurse beside him, handed it to Gu Fang, and said with a smile: "Xiao Fang, congratulations on your recovery."
It is indeed cured, and the glands developed very healthily after secondary differentiation.
Gu Fang smiled and took the flowers: "Thank you."
From now on, Dr. Xie's visits would be reduced to once a month, and their time together would be greatly reduced. But for Gu Fang, this reduction was something worth celebrating.
After getting in the car, Mr. Gu said, "The paperwork has been prepared. You will be transferred to your grade's arts and sports specialty class upon returning to school. However, you've fallen far behind. I've discussed with your new homeroom teacher that you don't have to go to school on weekends. Instead, you can study at a studio that specializes in art exam preparation."
Mr. Gu, who was driving in the front, whistled softly, "Well, it seems like our family will have a great painter in the future!"
Gu Jianbo ignored the person in front of him and continued to explain to his child in an orderly manner: "Doctor Xie has already told me that I will ask the hospital to help find an Omega with a high pheromone compatibility with you."
Gu Fang's expression was originally calm, but now he frowned in disgust.
He asked, “Why are you looking for it?”
Gu Jianbo also raised his eyebrows and asked in return: "Do you think there is such a wonderful fate in this world that you can meet by chance?"
"What I mean is," Gu Fang said slowly, but his logic was clear, not allowing his parents to fool him, "This is not a question of whether to look for it or not. I won't just casually be interested in a stranger or a so-called high-match pheromone."
Gu Jianbo glanced at him indifferently, without any emotion: "You can try."
Gu Fang said, "I can't try."
“Why not try?”
“Because it already exists.”
"What?"
"...someone I like."
The air in the car suddenly froze at that moment, and none of the three spoke again.
The traffic in the next lane flashed by, and by the dim window, the hazy light of the traffic slid across half of Gu Fang's face, which was pursed with his lips.
After a while, Gu Jianbo finally spoke.
Gu Fang thought he would ask who it was, but his father evaded the question with an ambiguous answer, simply retorting, "It could be O, it could be B, but it definitely can't be A. You've felt it yourself, the hostility towards other Alphs during the susceptible period."
Gu Fang moved his lips and wanted to say something, but Gu Jianbo obviously changed the subject abruptly.
He said to Gu Jianlan, "Find a physiology teacher for Fangfang. When he comes back from the studio on weekends, have him give him a good lesson in Alpha's physiology."
Gu Jianlan pulled out his phone, his eyes still fixed on the traffic light ahead. He reached behind him and handed it to Gu Fang. "This is your grandma's video. She's asking you how you're feeling. Answer nicely and don't argue with her."
Gu Fang took the phone and forced a pull at the corners of his lips to soften the stiff curve of his lips.
"Did I kill this flower?"
Early in the morning, in the Suyuan Flower Shop, Lu Si squatted in front of a pot of wilted orchids, looking listless.
Sister Xi squatted on the other side and fiddled with the slender leaves of the winter orchid for a while, and suddenly felt that Lu Si was making a fuss out of nothing.
"It's not dead yet. It will get better if you take care of it. It's normal for two or three leaves to wither. It's either not getting enough nutrients, or you mixed it with flower fertilizer for no reason, which resulted in too much nutrients."
Lu Qi was wrapping a bouquet of flowers at a long wooden table nearby, and said sarcastically, "I think it's too much nutrition."
Lu Si lowered his eyebrows and bent his fingers to stroke the dead leaves with heartache.
In the second class classroom, Lu Si came in lazily dragging his small pink suitcase as usual. He first glanced at his deskmate's seat, which was still empty.
He should have looked away, but Lu Si suddenly realized something. He bent down, a trace of disbelief flashed across his eyes, and looked into the hole in his desk.
The books that were originally neatly stacked all disappeared.
Lu Si slowly stood up, his face looking confused and bewildered like a child who had done something wrong.
He kind of understood what this meant, but also kind of didn't.
The phone in his pocket was vibrating. Lu Si narrowed his eyes and forced himself to come back to his senses. He took out his phone and glanced at it without any mood.
This glance was stunned.
[I am not good at anything, but eating is my first priority]
-Yaoyaozi: Brother Lu, Brother Lu! Calling Brother Lu! Big news! I, I, I saw Xiao Piaoliang in our class! @Lu Sier
-Ji (fourth tone) brother: Can someone tell me why Gu Fang transferred to our class?
Lu Si glanced at the message and subconsciously walked out of the classroom.
When he reached the stairs, he stopped in his tracks.
——Go to Class 7? But what can he do in Class 7?
I can't go to Class 7, but Class 7 has a dedicated and conscientious spies.
As soon as the morning self-study was over, the news in the Ganfan group exploded again.
-Yaoyaozi: Big news! Little Piaoliang has become an art student!
-Yaoyaozi: He is actually going to take the art exam!!!
In fact, within just one morning study session, everyone in Class 7 who had seen Gu Fang immediately spread the news to their own circles. Circle after circle, by now, it wasn't just Class 2 that knew; I'm afraid the entire grade knew.
During the break, Class 2 had already decided to form a team to visit Gu Fang.
The school council member, the little fanboy of the academic god, was heartbroken at the moment. He forced himself to ask Lu Si, "Didn't the academic god take sick leave before? Brother Lu, do you want to go with us to take a look?"
Because of the rain today, the playground was slippery and running was cancelled during the break.
The student council member's question was merely symbolic. Everyone knew how precious Lu Ge's break time was; thirty minutes was more than enough for him to fall asleep and have two more dreams.
Lu Si rested his elbows on the table, his head slightly lowered, his eyelids drooping sleepily with a faint shadow, his eyes moving slightly, as if he was thinking about what the student council member was saying.
However, he was so sleepy that he had to think for a long time about what the student council member said. Now that he came to his senses, he actually nodded: "I want to go."
"Oh." The student council member felt a little reluctant again, "How about you sleep a little longer?"
Lu Si rubbed his temples, pulled himself together and stood up: "It's okay, I just read the notes for a long time last night."
The notes that Gu Fang compiled for him were very thick, and Lu Si had read them several times.
Lu Si is also learning his method of sorting out common mistakes.
Since he had a part-time job in the evening, he had to delay going to bed, which was also his usual study method.
After going down one floor and reaching Class 7, there were already quite a few people blocking the entrance.
There are classes from Class 6 and Class 8 next door, as well as classes on other floors.
"What's going on?" The student council member was confused.
Lu Si yawned and asked, "Why are you blocking here?"
A person in front of him, who had been craning his neck to look, turned around and recognized the student council member: "Hey, isn't this from Class 2?"
The student council member recognized him as the student council member from Class 12 and, feeling they were on the same page, mimicked his tone, "Hey, isn't this from Class 12? Why are the students from the third floor now on the fourth floor?"
The Class 12 student council member retorted, "Why did the students from the fifth floor come to the fourth floor as well?"
Class 12 is the science and engineering class of the second branch. It once held the top spot in the grade and is an old rival of Class 2, which always had the highest average score.
"Of course I'm here to visit my old classmates," said the student council member.
The students in Class 12 said, "Old classmates, oh yes, I am no longer in your class."
Student Councillor: "That has nothing to do with your Class 12."
As the two were arguing, the crowd blocking the way ahead suddenly moved back slowly, making way for them.
Gu Fang came out carrying a bucket full of paint, which also contained brushes and scrapers of various sizes. He looked around in confusion, not quite understanding why they were blocking the way here.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "God of Learning! You draw beautifully too! Isn't that amazing?"
Class 7 was painting oil paintings in the last class. Gu Fang was painting with his back to the classroom door. Maybe someone came to see the academic genius and was attracted by his oil painting, so he lay on the windowsill to watch.
One person watching attracted a group of people to watch, and the entrance of Class 7 was blocked.
Being praised in public, Gu Fang pursed his lips a little embarrassedly, not knowing what to say, so he simply said nothing.
After finally squeezing out of the crowd, a hand suddenly reached over the handle of the bucket, and a familiar, low, cold voice came over: "Let me help you."
A group of people from Class 7 immediately stuck their heads out of the window and made cheers of "Oh!"
Gu Fang slowly raised his head.
Lu Si had already taken the bucket for him. Seeing him looking at him, he raised his slender eyebrows casually: "Have you grown taller again?"
He raised his hand and gestured, moving his fingertips a few centimeters up from the bridge of his nose.
Gu Fang lowered his eyes, his eyelashes half covering his empty blue eyes.
"Thank you."
He let go of his hand and took a half step back silently.
"It's okay." Lu Si didn't care. "Are you going to the bathroom to clean up?"
Gu Fang nodded.
Lu Si picked up the bucket and walked forward without waiting for him.
Gu Fang hesitated for a moment and followed.
The voices behind me gradually faded away and the surroundings became quiet.
The bucket was brought into the pool, and the faucet let out a stream of clear water, splashing out drops of transparent and cool water.
Neither of them spoke, but watched quietly as the colorful paint expanded like a cloud, gushed out, squeezed into the drain, swirled around, and slowly faded from thick to thin and disappeared.
"Are you feeling well?" Lu Si picked up the paintbrushes from the bucket and rinsed the paint-coated bristles one by one. "I mean, you took sick leave."
Gu Fang picked up the scraper and rinsed it under another faucet. The sound of running water made his voice seem foggy. "It's okay. It's okay now. Don't worry."
Lu Si poured out the water in the bucket, bent his back into a thin and sparse arc, and scrubbed the wall of the bucket with neat and smooth movements.
"About changing classes," Lu Si said, his eyelids drooping quietly. "Did you decide to do that yourself?"
"...Yeah." Gu Fang actually had the idea of staying away from Lu Si temporarily.
"Then I won't ask." Lu Si turned his head to look at him, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Gu Fang's face showed no expression, but his heart was beating fast because of that little smile. He avoided his gaze calmly.
"Aren't you happy to be able to paint?" Lu Si suddenly said without thinking.
"Hmm?" Gu Fang tilted his head and looked at Lu Si's face. "Why do you ask that?"
Lu Si asked him back, "Then why don't you smile at me more?"
The sound of the heartbeat suddenly became louder, filling Gu Fang's eardrums.
Gu Fang suddenly clenched the handle of the scraper, staring blankly at the water splashing cold water on the scraper. Through the few drops of water, he could see the surging waves in his eyes in an illusion.
After a long time, the waves finally subsided slowly.
Gu Fang turned his head, his eyebrows curved into a bright arc, and he smiled, "I'm very happy."
No matter how unhappy I am, it will disappear as soon as I see you.
How can you be so magical, Lu Si?
[I am not good at anything, but eating is my first priority]
-Lu Sier: I tried it.
-Lu Sier: I think it’s okay.
-Lu Sier: He has a beautiful smile.
-Yao Yao Zi:? ? !
-Ji (fourth tone) brother:? ? !
-Chen Xiaoyi: ? ? !
-Brother Yuanzi:? ?!
-Yaoyaozi: Help, help! Are all straight A students so confident?
-Ji (fourth tone) brother: Is this the legendary thing? He took one look at me and I knew he was interested in me? And then he even thought of a name for the child?
-Chen Xiaoyi: Actually, I don’t think Brother Lu would do anything without a purpose.
-Brother Yuanzi: I am more concerned about your next step. @路肆儿
-Lu Si'er: Is it better to confess tonight or tomorrow night? Actually, I'm a little nervous.
-Yaoyaozi: I can’t tell.
-Ji (fourth tone) brother: I can’t tell.
-Chen Xiaoyi: I can’t tell either.
-Brother Yuanzi: My suggestion is... give them some time, how about tomorrow night?
-Yaoyaozi: Dad, how do you want to arrange it? What are the steps? Brothers, help you with it!
-Lu Sier: Goodbye, please don’t come.
-Brother Yuanzi: Si'er, have you thought of a plan?
-Lu Sier: After the evening study tomorrow, I will ask him to go for a walk on the playground in the back mountain, and then.
-Haruko: ...What a tacky plan.
-Ji (fourth tone) brother: You know shit, straight A is so straight.
At this time, Xie Ziyao and Mo Ji were playing basketball. During the halftime break, the two sat in the audience and whispered to each other while sending group messages.
Jing Xingye had made an appointment with the two of them to play basketball, and was currently sitting in a row behind them drinking water.
He swore he didn't actually want to eavesdrop.
However, the noise these two were mumbling about was quite loud. Things like "Lu Si", "confession tomorrow night", "playground on the back mountain" were all understood by Jing Xingye after just a quick thought.
Jing Xingye was a little surprised that Lu Si actually had someone he liked.
You are so proactive and you are going to confess your feelings tomorrow night?
Although he and Lu Si are not very close, at such an important moment, he should at least show some support to his "good brother", right?
Jing Xingye immediately went to the street dance group and told everyone to bring video cameras and flowers tomorrow, hide in the woods, stay in the playground, and rush over as soon as Lu Si finished his confession.
Then Xiao O has to agree even if he doesn’t want to!
In fact, he also had the intention of secretly watching Lu Si's fun and then making him lose face.
If we really follow Jing Xingye's idea, this is not a bad idea.
The bad thing is that once the news gets out, it spreads quickly like a prairie fire.
A post on the love confession wall of No. 12 Middle School quietly became popular this evening.
-Wall Wall, I have some big news!
-According to a friend of mine, after the evening study tomorrow, there will be a guy named A who wants to confess his love on the playground behind our school!
-You know, it's so hard to keep that little spark of love alive in our school, Wall! I strongly urge everyone to go and support this brave A tomorrow if you have nothing to do!
- Make sure to let him know that he is not alone in his pursuit of happiness!
The next day at noon, it was lunch time in the cafeteria.
Le Jiayu secretly looked at her phone for a long time.
Just as Gu Fang was about to impatiently snatch his phone away and force him to eat, Le Jiayu suddenly approached him mysteriously, "Fangfang, I heard that A is going to confess her love on the playground tonight. How about we join in the fun and witness it?"
"No." Gu Fang said decisively.
"Go ahead! Such a beautiful and lively scene... Oh no, aren't you moved by such a brave A pursuing love? It is said that A has been unable to reunite with his beloved O for a long time!"
"I'm not touched." Gu Fang scooped a spoonful of egg custard and slowly put it into his mouth.
"Ouch!" Le Jiayu clutched her chest in agony, reciting exaggerated lines like in a play, "You are such a heartless, heartless, cruel person!"
"Eat quickly, I'm anxious to take a nap." The heartless and cruel guy scooped another spoonful of egg custard.
Le Jiayu suddenly lowered her voice and tried to persuade him gently.
"Fangfang, think about it. You didn't watch it in vain. You're an A now, too. From now on, it'll be your turn to actively pursue the person you like. You need to learn from them and see how your peers express their feelings."
Although I know that Le Jiayu wants to see it herself.
But Gu Fang gradually became interested. To be honest, he seemed to have never seen how others expressed their love.
Well, learn something.
So, he nodded indifferently: "I'll go to your class to find you after evening self-study."
The author has something to say:
Later, Fang Fang: I watched myself being confessed to.
