Chapter 42
The school examination is divided into online and offline.
Offline exams may be held in separate examination centers in the province where the candidate is located, or they may require the candidate to go to the school in that province.
The Capital Academy of Fine Arts’ initial exam is conducted online, while the re-examination requires candidates to go to their campus.
During the school exam season, the Capital Academy of Fine Arts was packed with candidates and parents. Crowds of people were surging everywhere, and the art academy students wearing red volunteer jackets were struggling to maintain order.
With so many people taking the entrance exam for so many days, only 1,100 students were admitted to the 10 undergraduate majors, which shows how fierce the competition is.
Opposite Shoumei is Jingming University, a top-level university in the country. Compared with Shoumei, it seems deserted at the moment. The school gate is quiet, with only occasional students from Jingming University entering and leaving.
Gu Fang finished testing the noodles and came out. It was a rare warm sun in February, and it gently cast a warm temperature on this desolate earth.
The teacher will give impromptu questions in the re-examination and students will draw on the spot.
After the drawing was finished, the teachers would randomly ask a few questions, usually three or four questions from each of the two teachers. But when it was Gu Fang's turn, he was practically picked by all the teachers in the examination booth.
Standing by the flower bed at the exit of the teaching building, Gu Fang basked in the warm sunshine, drank mineral water, and reviewed his performance in the re-examination.
Was there something wrong with his drawing, or had the teacher changed the rules on the spot? Gu Fang hadn't seen the interviews of other candidates, so he couldn't be sure.
He was so thirsty from the questions that he stopped drinking when the bottle of mineral water was empty. He tightened the cap and was about to throw it into the trash can when a boy holding a parasol came over to throw away the trash. When he saw him, he exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! Gu Fang!"
The parasol was lifted, revealing a bright and handsome face. After a moment of surprise, he smiled at him with a squinting eye. "What a coincidence! You're also taking the entrance exam for the first beauty pageant? Did you just finish your interview?"
——It’s the beginning of the late period.
Gu Fang was also a little surprised and nodded subconsciously: "Just finished the interview, how about you?"
"I just finished my interview too." Chu Chi raised his chin and gestured towards the teaching building, "I'm waiting for my classmates. They haven't finished their interviews yet."
Gu Fang followed his gaze and saw a vending machine at the entrance of the corridor. He remembered that Chu Chi had treated him to a box of orange juice during training, so he said, "If you're not in a hurry, I'll buy you a drink."
Chu Chi was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, a bottle of coffee will be fine, I need to wake up, I have to go to see Jingmei in the afternoon."
Gu Fang ordered orange juice for himself as usual. Chu Chi took the coffee and asked, "Are you going to meet Jingmei?"
Jingmei, full name Jingming Academy of Fine Arts, is a secondary college under Jingming University, located in the southeast corner of Jingming University.
Gu Fang shook his head, "I didn't report Jingmei."
He paused, "Jingmei is also taking the school exam today? Why don't I see anyone at the school gate?"
Chu Chi said, "The gate facing Shoumei is the west gate of Jingda University. Jingmei is at the east gate of Jingda University. All candidates enter from that gate."
Chu Chi's face showed a hint of hesitation again, not knowing whether to say, "...Why didn't you apply to Jingmei? Your academic scores should be pretty good, right?"
Jingmei University is backed by Jingda University, so in the eyes of ordinary people who are not familiar with art academies, its reputation is naturally more famous than Shoumei. In the art academy ranking, Shoumei is slightly higher than Jingmei, but only slightly.
Gu Fang didn't mind his question. He smiled and said, "I prefer a quieter campus."
Chu Chi opened his eyes wide immediately. He didn't expect that Jingmei would be defeated because of the support of Jingda and too many people.
"I admire you so much." Chu Chi gave a thumbs up.
Chu Chi closed his umbrella, and the two of them sat by the flower bed to bask in the sun for a while. Chu Chi suddenly blinked and asked mysteriously, "How are you? --And your Alpha?"
After being exposed to the sun for too long, my face actually felt a little hot.
Gu Fang tried his best to act mature, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. "Thank you for your concern. He is indeed mine now."
"Oh—" Chu Chi said, his voice drawn out in a gossipy tone as he leaned in and kept asking, "How did you confess? Who confessed first? Was it easy to pursue? Not difficult, right? You guys don't have that—just kisses and hugs and lifts?"
Gu Fang couldn't help but turn his face away, his ears red as he stood up: "You ask too many questions."
A few handsome boys came towards Chu Chi from the exit and waved to him, "Hey! Xiao Chu! Over here! We're done with the exam!"
Chu Chi had no choice but to suppress her gossipy heart, patted Gu Fang's shoulder, and smiled as bright as an orange: "I hope we can both get into the schools of our choice! And you and your boyfriend, will you have a happy marriage?"
Gu Fang handed him a tissue and motioned him to wipe the sweat off his forehead, a smile on his lips: "I'll lend you my good wishes."
Although there were not many schools that allowed me to apply, I still had to go to various places for re-examinations in February. Teacher Su also made many suggestions for backup schools. Although these schools conducted online interviews throughout the process, it still consumed my energy.
Every time Gu Fang arrived in a city, got off the plane, and checked into a hotel, he had to send a message to Lu Si to check in. He was taking an exam alone in another city, and Lu Si expressed strong concern and worry, giving him instructions before leaving and after arriving.
The one who treated Gu Fang as a fragile item and was so worried about him was Le Jiayu.
Xiao Le only found out about the two of them having been together after returning from winter break, and was initially shocked. However, upon learning that Lu Si and his group of buddies knew about it before him, Xiao Le flew into a rage, pinching Gu Fang's shoulders and wishing he could shake his brains out.
Xiao Le is already numb now, so let Lu Si nag as much as he wants, since Gu Fang is not his boyfriend anyway.
In addition, Xiao Le is busy with his studies and has no time to take care of Gu Fang, who has a partner. He is putting all his efforts into preparing for the sprint.
——Especially after Lu Si got a girlfriend, his grades suddenly jumped into the top 20 in the grade, which was very exciting.
It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
In early March, the school entrance examinations of major art academies came to an end one after another, and the school entrance examination season also came to an end.
Art exam candidates can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Regardless of the results of the joint exam and the school exam, they will have to prepare wholeheartedly for reviewing their academic subjects and enter the college entrance exam hall together with all the other students.
There was a mock exam in the middle of the month, and Gu Fang had made a point of returning to school before it. The students from Class 7 also finished their respective professional exams and returned to school, reuniting as a class.
Gu Fang was among the first group to return, and just happened to catch the 100-day oath-taking ceremony at the beginning of the month.
Director Liu of the grade asked Gu Fang to come to the stage and lead the oath as a representative of the senior science students.
On the playground, students from each class sat on the lawn and received a piece of white paper with the No. 12 Middle School emblem printed on it, with the words "Please write down your goals and future wishes" written on it.
After finishing writing, all the students stood up and, led by representatives from the arts and science departments, recited the Hundred-Day Struggle Oath sentence by sentence.
Lu Si looked up at the crowd and saw the young man on the podium with his back to all the teachers and students. He clenched his fist and faced the national flag and the school flag to take the oath. He was wearing a white school uniform T-shirt, with smooth and beautiful shoulder and back lines, and seemed to have grown a little taller.
Lu Si suddenly realized that just looking at Gu Fang's back, he no longer had the slender, fragile figure of his former Omega days. His build and height had gradually become like those of every other Alpha: healthy, smooth, and covered in thin layers of muscle that hinted at strength, and he was much taller than the average Alpha.
Her previously sickly complexion began to transform into a rosy, lustrous white, and her neck became the same as before, slender, elegant, and proud.
Gu Fang had unknowingly grown into a full-fledged Alpha. Just the sight of him from behind was enough to draw the attention of many Omegas.
The playground is at the top of the mountain behind. After the oath, all the senior high school students gathered at the railing, folded the white paper they had made wishes on into paper airplanes, and flew into the sky full of unknowns and hopes.
This class of students all remember this day when they recall their senior year of high school.
Because the sky was very blue that day. It had just rained, and the sky was as blue as if it had been washed by rain. The wind was also cool, and the flags were stretched lightly on the poles. The breeze blowing on the face made people feel happy both physically and mentally.
Shallow puddles formed on the uneven parts of the runway, reflecting the blue sky and the blue and white uniforms of the students passing by.
If a student picked up a paper airplane while cleaning the venue, they would find a piece of paper written in neat small characters: "Shoumei. Hope the stars never fall, he will always be free from worries."
Another one, written in flowing cursive script, read: "Jingda. I hope he is healthy and happy, and lives the life he wishes for the rest of his life."
They never mentioned themselves in their wishes for the future, but tacitly wished for others.
Youth is always flawed, just as they lack the confidence that they can participate in the other person's future. Youth is also always arrogant, just as they are so confident that the other person's life will be what they want.
When the event was over, the banner with the words "Hundred-Day Oath-taking Ceremony" printed on it was removed from the rostrum, and the frugal school leaders prepared to use it again next year.
Director Liu called out to Gu Fang, "Little Gu, if you happen to pass by the gymnasium on your way back, please help me take this banner to the equipment room. Here are the keys—"
Gu Fang agreed and went to the gymnasium with the rolled-up red banner.
After opening the door with the key and entering the equipment room, he was wondering which shelf to put the banner on. Suddenly, he felt a pain in the back of his neck like a muscle contraction, and his pheromones suddenly went out of control, breaking through the floodgates of his rationality and pouring out.
——Although I have only experienced it once after the second differentiation, this feeling is all too familiar.
"Gu Fang," the liberal arts representative said, coming over to look for someone after putting his things away in another room. "Shall we go back together?"
Bang--
Gu Fang hooked his foot on the door and slammed it shut, saying, "You go first, I have something else to do!"
He gritted his teeth as he finished the sentence, then squatted in a corner with difficulty, still holding the scroll tightly in his hands, curling himself up as tightly as possible.
In the blink of an eye, the pheromone flood filled the entire room.
On ordinary days, even Gu Fang's personal belongings rarely come into contact with pheromones, but the more restrained he was in the past, the more intense the pheromone craze is now.
Before his sanity was completely overwhelmed, Gu Fang took out his cell phone with trembling fingers and sent a message to Jing Xingye.
-Equipment room, I'm in my susceptible period, inhibitor.
With trembling fingers, he poked several times before clicking send.
He subconsciously avoided Lu Si.
Because he had experienced a susceptible period before, he knew how abnormal he was during the susceptible period compared to the average Alpha.
Although his and Lu Si's pheromone experiment was progressing smoothly, it was still far from being able to mark the person safely. Even if it could be marked, it would only be based on the assumption that he was not susceptible and his sanity was normal.
Gu Fang couldn't gamble, or he had never thought about gambling at all.
He had been deceiving Lu Si for a long time. He had never thought of relying on AA marking to get through the susceptible period. The future he envisioned was to rely on inhibitors to get through the susceptible period.
Even if the AA mark was useful, he would never let Lu Si stay with himself during his susceptible period.
Apart from Lu Si, the only Alpha that Gu Fang is familiar with is Jing Xingye.
But to say they were familiar wasn't too familiar either. At least at that moment, Gu Fang didn't know that Jing Xingye's phone had been confiscated by President Jing due to his poor performance in the final exam.
Although Jing Xingye came to school with a spare mobile phone, it was an old phone and could not even download WeChat, let alone receive messages.
Gu Fang waited for a long time and gradually found it difficult to understand the concept of time.
Without his inhibitors, the sheer torment made him furious and irritable, his negative emotions surging uncontrollably. Feeling truly miserable, he repeatedly banged his forehead against the cold wall, trying to regain his composure or knock himself unconscious.
My phone had been thrown away, vibrating uselessly on the ground far away. Lu Si's calls and video requests kept ringing, only to be disconnected again and again because no one answered.
In Gu Fang's impression, a long time had passed.
But in fact, only two classes, an hour and a half, had passed.
Both periods were self-study for Class 7, so no teacher noticed. During the first self-study period, the students thought that Director Liu had something else to do with the academic master, so they were not surprised.
Only Lu Si came over after class. After asking his classmates, he felt a little strange. He sent a message to Gu Fang but no one replied.
Although Lu Si felt strange, he was not panicked yet.
How could a living person disappear in school?
It was not until the end of the second self-study get out of class that Gu Fang had not returned. Lu Si made many phone calls and video calls but no one answered. Only then did he realize that something was wrong and he completely panicked.
I ran to ask Director Liu, but Director Liu was in a meeting.
Lu Si found Mr. Wu, the head teacher of Class 7. After Mr. Wu made a phone call but no one answered, he asked a few other teachers to start searching in the playground and the cultural and sports building.
Lu Si was also looking for someone. He went to the small studio on the third floor of the Cultural and Sports Building, but found no one there. When he was about to go upstairs to look for someone, he received a call from Le Jiayu.
The arts representative who took the oath today was from their Class 11. Le Jiayu was so anxious that he asked people everywhere, and only then did he learn from the arts representative that the last time he saw Gu Fang was in the equipment room of the gymnasium.
"Fangfang said he had something else to do, and then he closed the equipment room door." Le Jiayu's voice trembled with anxiety. "It's been over an hour. He can't still be in the equipment room, right? What could he be doing?"
Lu Si was silent, but his feet were speeding up.
"I'll go to the equipment room first."
"Okay, okay!" Le Jiayu nodded quickly. "I'll ask a few more people and call you when I have news!"
Rush to the gym.
Knock knock——
Lu Si knocked on the equipment room door several times. "Fang Fang? Gu Fang? Are you in there?"
No one answered.
He turned the door and found it was completely locked.
——Isn’t Fangfang here?
He lowered his eyes in thought, his eyelids covering the confusion and anxiety in his eyes. Just as he was about to turn and leave, his nose suddenly twitched and he smelled a familiar fragrance through the door.
The smell was very faint through the door, but the cool fragrance was still refreshing, like a handful of snow melting silently, and the snow water flowed through the crack of the door to Lu Si's nose.
Lu Si didn't knock on the door again. He instantly confirmed that Gu Fang was inside and turned around and ran to the office at the end of the corridor.
There was no one in the office, but as the Minister of Culture and Sports, he was very familiar with the place. He climbed in through a broken window next to him and quickly found the equipment room among a pile of keys hanging on the wall.
At this moment, Lu Si was extremely grateful that he had joined the Culture and Sports Department in order to ensure the survival of the band in his second year of high school.
The moment he got the key, Lu Si suddenly realized that Gu Fang was going through a susceptible period.
The most sensible way is indeed to lock the door, then find the inhibitor and give it to Gu Fang, letting him solve it himself.
But Lu Si is not rational now.
Gu Fang was just one door away from him, missing for over an hour, his situation unknown. He couldn't just abandon Gu Fang now, leaving the gymnasium, walking across the playground, down the stairs, and going to the teaching building to get the damn inhibitor.
Lu Si thought of a temporary mark.
He believes this is the most urgent and appropriate method at the moment.
Perhaps it was because Gu Fang usually disguised himself too well, and Lu Si was completely unaware of the danger, which led to him making a fatal misjudgment.
He simply sent a message to Le Jiayu, "I found it in the equipment room, ask Xiao Yuanshan to bring the inhibitor quickly," then opened the door alone, left the key in the door lock, and closed the door.
The pheromones in the air almost solidified into substance, with an astonishing concentration.
"Let go?" Lu Si lowered his voice and looked around.
He soon found the source of the pheromones, walked behind a few rows of shelves, and saw Gu Fang sitting on the ground with his knees curled up in the corner.
Lu Si felt very uncomfortable being in a closed space filled with the scent of another Alph.
Although he was already familiar with and accustomed to Gu Fang's pheromones, the concentration was so high that his instinct made him feel that he should punch this Alpha, then bite him, suppress him, and destroy him.
But Lu Si couldn't do that. He gritted his teeth and controlled his pheromones so that he wouldn't emit any and stimulate Gu Fang.
She simply walked over and squatted down, hugging Gu Fang gently as if he were embracing some precious and fragile treasure, and putting the back of her neck to his lips.
"Tag me, let's go."
He whispered, just as Gu Fang had requested in the forest park.
Gu Fang's nose moved slightly, and he seemed to be sniffing at his neck, like a small animal distinguishing the smell to determine whether the person in front of him was his.
There was no light in the corner, which was perfectly divided into one end of the shadow by the light coming in from the window. His delicate and beautiful facial features had lost their former softness and were covered with a layer of gray shadow.
The rapid growth after differentiation made his face gradually lose the immaturity of his youth. His facial features were still delicate and perfect, but his angular contours were more three-dimensional and profound.
The beauty in the past was gentle, but now it is turning into aggressive.
It seemed as if he recognized that the person in front of him belonged to him, so he opened his lips rudely, revealing his sharp teeth, and bit the back of the neck of the person who was offered to him.
He sucked the flesh on the gland carefully and licked it lightly with the tip of his tongue.
"hiss……"
The stimulation of having the gland actually bitten is stronger than ever before.
Lu Si's neck trembled, and a light minty scent emanated from it.
not good!
Lu Si was shocked by his remaining sanity.
As if a switch had been flipped, the intrusive Alph scent instantly irritated the sensitive teenager. He suddenly lost his gentle demeanor and grabbed Lu Si's neck with a firm grip. With a push of his leg, he flipped him over onto his lap.
Lu Si's Alpha instincts urged him to resist, but he only took a few deep breaths. The tight confinement around his neck made the air he breathed in seem especially cool and precious. By taking these deep breaths, he managed to maintain his composure for the time being.
Gu Fang bent down, pressed down on his shoulders and back, pressed the tip of his teeth against the soft skin of the gland, and bit it not very gently.
Lu Si's breath was choked.
The pheromones belonging to another Alpha were slowly being injected into his glands.
The corners of Lu Si's eyes flushed red and he began to struggle violently.
Gu Fang grabbed his gland and began to gnaw on it wantonly, leaving a trail of horrific marks. The more violently Lu Si struggled, the greater the pressure he exerted, and the deeper his teeth sank.
Until the skin is broken.
Lu Si's eyes turned red and he struggled desperately.
It was something that clearly belonged to him, but he wanted to break free and gain freedom, and even wanted to escape - this angered the boy, and the biting on the back of his neck became more and more random, like a ferocious beast that had lost its mind.
The teeth penetrated the outer layer of flesh and reached the soft glands deep inside.
When he was about to bite off the gland again, Gu Fang suddenly stopped. The bloody smell of rust made him look confused.
His soul seemed to be split in two.
One piece is saying, bite it, bite it to pieces, and he will belong to you completely.
Another piece said, you are crazy, who is he, how dare you?
--who is he?
Gu Fang began to feel confused.
Who is he?
Just as he paused, the door of the equipment room was suddenly kicked open.
Noisy sounds and dazzling light poured in simultaneously.
“Found it, found it!”
“We found them!”
"Oh no! Separate them quickly! Save Lu Si!"
Gu Fang squinted his eyes against the light, his soul was in a trance, and all the sounds from the outside world seemed to be separated by a layer of water. He sank to the bottom of the water, and the sounds came from above the water.
Gu Fang slowly lowered his head.
——Lu Si?
Road four?
Road four.
