Chapter 37
Boom——
A winter thunder broke the silence of the early morning. Above the rolling dark clouds, something seemed to be waking up, growling dully.
"Brother! It's raining!" Lu Qi rushed out of the room, her hair a mess, without even having time to comb it, and ran to the balcony, "Hurry up and collect the clothes!"
The raindrops fell in a dense stream, and after a while, they became a heavy downpour.
Lu Si rushed out of the room, his hair disheveled, and walked towards the balcony. However, he didn't go to the balcony. Instead, he picked up Han Lan, who was sitting on the edge of the balcony, and placed her on the coffee table in the living room.
The rain was so heavy that it splashed from the balcony into the room, soaking the thin leaves of the orchid. Its narrow, pointed petals swayed fragilely in the wind, like a delicate dragonfly, wings spread but about to take flight.
Wait… petals?
Lu Si gently held the flower stem with both hands, palms clasped together, blocking the strong wind. When the flower stem stopped shaking, he slowly removed his palms.
It is indeed a flower.
A beautiful and elegant dark green winter orchid.
"Lu Qi," he murmured softly, "the orchid is blooming."
Lu Qi rescued the two people's clothes by herself and threw them on the sofa along with the hangers. She wanted to complain, but when she heard her brother's words, she took a closer look and said, "Ah!"
She was also very surprised: "It actually bloomed!"
The brother and sister took many photos as if they had never seen the world before. After Lu Si sent Lu Qi to Suyuan Flower Shop, they showed the photos to Sister Xi.
"Winter is here. If the winter orchid doesn't bloom now, it will miss its blooming season."
Sister Xi spoke very rationally and didn't want to admit that Xiaolu succeeded in the first year. She felt a little jealous.
"Do you smell the fragrance?" Sister Xi asked again.
"A little bit," Lu Si put the phone back into his pocket, "very faint."
Sister Xi nodded. "That's normal. The colder the weather, the more fragrant the orchid will be. Yours has a fragrance from the beginning, which proves that it's been well cared for."
After receiving the affirmation from professionals, Lu Si felt a little relieved.
It was raining heavily today. Although Lu Qi repeatedly emphasized that he was no longer a primary school student, Lu Si still held an umbrella and sent Lu Qi, who was wrapped in a thick red raincoat, to the gate of the junior high school.
Lu Qi is a rather unique kid.
Parents who drop their children off at the school gate are often distressed because their children think raincoats are too ugly and too tacky and refuse to wear them. But Lu Si doesn't have to worry about this at all. If he asks Lu Qi, he will ask back in confusion: "It's so cool, how can it be tacky?"
When they arrived at the school gate, Lu Si bent down and stuffed the folding umbrella into the net pocket on the side of her schoolbag.
While adjusting the hood of his red raincoat, Lu Qi glanced at his bent-over brother and suddenly called out, "Brother."
"Huh?" There were messy notes stuffed in the net bag. Lu Si took out the notes with disgust and stuffed the folding umbrella in.
Lu Qi asked casually, "Are you in a relationship?"
Lu Si paused, turned his head and looked at her.
Lu Qi tapped the back of his neck: "There are traces."
Lu Si reached out and touched it.
"Don't worry," Lu Qi said, "It's covered by my hair. As long as you don't bend down, you won't be able to see it."
Lu Si straightened his back, lowered his chin and hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about how to start speaking.
"I know who it is." As a result, Lu Qi easily said it for him.
She blinked and lifted the strap of her schoolbag.
"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."
Even from a distance, I could hear the second class classroom was as noisy as a beehive.
Lu Si shook his umbrella, placed it outside the window, and walked into the classroom. He saw that the whole class was silent for a moment, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.
Lu Si raised his eyebrows casually and ignored the group of people.
When I walked to my seat and saw the bouquet of plain white roses on the table, I immediately understood what was going on with these people.
Lu Si mentioned the bouquet of flowers and asked the person in front of him, "Who sent this?"
"I got it right away! Brother Lu!" The student in front of me shook his head. "We were just guessing. Brother Lu, aren't you famous for rejecting premature love? How dare someone give it to you?"
Lu Si looked at the bouquet thoughtfully. As a flower blind, he was a little puzzled: "What kind of flower is this?"
Xu Xiwen was collecting homework when she passed by this table. She came over and said mysteriously, "This is a Moonlight Bubble Rose. I just looked up the flower language—"
She paused mysteriously.
Lu Si raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
"It's about cherishing the person in front of you." Xu Xiwen curled her eyes. "Well, Brother Lu, have you guessed who it is?"
This type of multi-headed rose has thicker and more complex petals, with the outermost petals curling outwards and gradually becoming lighter in color towards the center of the flower.
The flowering period is still short, so we should cherish it.
Xu Xiwen had long supported the couple Lu Ge and Gu Fang. Ever since the news of Gu Fang's second split came out, Xu Xiwen's heart had been broken, and her group of CPs had naturally been filled with tears and wailing.
——My relationship has completely gone astray before it even progresses. Who understands this pain?
However, Xu Xiwen was the first person to arrive at the class this morning. She actually saw who sent the flowers, but did not say anything.
At this moment, a small flower that had never been imagined bloomed again in Xu Xiwen's heart.
The intensity of the wailing in the CP group has subsided, and the comments in the group have begun to become cold. At this time, Xu Xiwen sent a message to reawaken the heat of the group chat.
-Who says AA relationship is impossible?
Lu Si initially guessed that it was Gu Fangsong, but Fangfang should be in the training class at this time, how could he come to school?
He took a photo of the bouquet and sent it to Gu Fang.
The other side replied quickly.
-Do you like it? I picked it!
Gu Fang had many roses in vases at home, and this bouquet was the best in bloom and had a good meaning, so he asked Le Jiayu to come and pick up the flowers, and then deliver them to the classroom early in the morning when no one was around.
-...Le Jiayu?
Lu Si was silent for a moment, typing with drooping eyelids.
-He knows?
Gu Fanghui said.
-He doesn't know, I just said I'm pursuing you. Now he complains to me that he lost half an hour of sleep this morning because of the flowers.
Lu Si raised his eyebrows slightly, and had a guess in his mind as to why he didn't say it.
But Gu Fang was afraid that he would think too much, so he quickly explained.
-LeLe has a big mouth and I’m afraid he can’t keep secrets.
That's one reason, but perhaps the bigger reason is the fear of publicizing the situation and negatively impacting the other person. After all, AA relationships aren't exactly a good thing to hear, and there's always the possibility of some people taking offense.
It is also because they are afraid that this relationship will not last long. Once it ends, if there are still people around both parties who know about it, the shadow created will linger longer.
This is also the reason why Lu Si kept silent to his friends.
Lu Si posted this photo on his Moments, secretly telling those around him about the satisfaction and pleasure he got from this relationship.
The matching words are the language of flowers.
-Cherish the people around you.
Gu Fang recently adjusted his work and rest schedule. He arranged the training courses in the morning as much as possible, leaving the afternoon and evening time for free practice.
The so-called free practice means that you can practice anywhere.
In the past, it was done in training classes or at home, but now, it has naturally moved to the school's studio.
-I'm at school!
Before the afternoon class, Lu Si's cell phone vibrated. He took out the phone from the hole in the desk and took a look at it. A smile like melting snow appeared in his eyes.
He replied quickly.
-I'll bring you dinner after school this afternoon. What do you want to eat?
Gu Fang reported the delicious food in the cafeteria window.
- Braised spare ribs, fish-flavored eggplant, crispy pork and stir-fried shredded potatoes!
-If they are not in the same window, then forget it, just do whatever you want.
Anyway, the young couple is not eating food. If they are full just by looking at each other, why would they care what they are eating?
Gu Fang ordered the most popular dishes in the cafeteria, the kind that would be completely gone if he ordered a little late. Furthermore, some of them were indeed not ordered from the same window.
However, when Lu Si arrived at the small studio in the Cultural and Sports Building and opened the packed lunch box, Gu Fang still saw all the dishes he had ordered, and the portions were very generous.
And because we were afraid that he wouldn't eat enough, we added some other dishes according to his taste.
In the corner of the studio stood a row of desks, originally filled with plaster figures and half-empty or half-empty tubes of paint. Before Lu Si arrived, Gu Fang had cleared out one of the desks and used it as a dining table.
After dinner, the rain had subsided and there was still some time before evening self-study.
This amount of time may seem ample, but for a young couple who are reluctant to leave and want to do something else, this amount of time is simply not enough.
Gu Fang casually pushed aside the painting tools piled on the workbench and continued to carry Lu Si onto the wooden table. This posture made it very convenient to hug the whole person.
Lu Si also put his arm around his back and rested his head on his shoulder.
They both enjoyed hugging each other like this.
"So comfortable." Gu Fang sighed softly, rubbing his cheek against Lu Si's hair, "I really want to hold you forever and never let go."
Lu Si narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling very comfortable, but he asked him back, "Last night, someone seemed to say they didn't want to hug?"
"But, compared to hugging," Gu Fang tilted his head, a mischievous smile curved in his beautiful and pure eyes, "some people seem to prefer kissing?"
Lu Si laughed and kissed Gu Fang lightly on the side of his face, "It's me."
The skin on the side of her face was soft, like kissing a cloud, soft and sweet.
Lu Si kissed her once and felt a bit addicted. He rubbed his fingertips, thinking about how not to scare the cute Fang Fang while receiving more kisses.
Lu Si then changed his position and gave Gu Fang another kiss on his smooth jaw.
Open your thin lips slightly and lick and nibble along the graceful jawline. This is a way to kiss gently without leaving any marks.
"It's a little itchy..."
Gu Fang raised his chin, his blue eyes sparkling with light.
Lu Si finally gave in reluctantly.
The two of them lightly touched their foreheads, looked at each other, and enjoyed the embrace at this moment.
The studio was dark after the rainstorm, and the strong wind was still blowing. The branches outside the window were swaying in the wind, and the only light shone in from there and fell on their faces.
Lu Si lowered his eyes and whispered, "I previously looked up how Alphas spend their susceptible periods."
Gu Fang was stunned: "When?"
Lu Si stroked his chin with his fingertips: "Before you come back from training."
Gu Fang paused slightly and tightened his grip around his waist.
"I..." Gu Fang paused, as if hesitating whether to say it or not, "You know, I've suffered from pheromone secretion syndrome before, and that seems to have affected my susceptible period."
"What impact?" Lu Si's brows suddenly frowned and his voice sank.
"That's right," Gu Fang glanced down, feeling a little guilty, "It's harder for me to control my instincts than other Alphas, I'm more restless, and I need more soothing pheromones."
The "little bit" that Gu Fang mentioned is very big.
Lu Si didn't blame him for speaking up now, but thought of a solution as soon as possible.
"My susceptible period is fine. I can use the inhibitors used by Alpha. As for yours..."
The degree of restlessness determines the amount of inhibitor required, and inhibitors that exceed the dosage should never be used.
This means that during Gu Fang's susceptible period, he can either rely on isolation and injection of small amounts of inhibitors to get through it, or the only method left is pheromone soothing.
——Marking an Omega is the usual method.
"I've looked up some information," Lu Si lowered his eyes and thought, "If A temporarily marks another A, achieving a false mark, it can also have a certain soothing effect."
But the effect varies from person to person.
This type of soothing is different from AO labeling, which can achieve two-way soothing. AA labeling is one-way and is unlikely to have a soothing effect on the labeled A.
Lu Si raised his eyes to look at Gu Fang, his tone brooking no room for argument: "We can experiment little by little, first adapt to each other's pheromones, and then try temporary marking."
