After a day of bathing, eating skewers, and drinking, Zhao Yesi's odor barrier was about to wear off. Lu Huangzhi could feel the scent of his voice brushing past his ears, like a rosy peach with a hint of alcohol.
"What the hell is that?" Lu Huangzhi lowered his voice, as if coaxing a child. "There are more than eighty of them."
"That's it..." Zhao Yesi wanted to show Lu Huangzhi how to do it, but he couldn't hold Lu Huangzhi if he wanted to. He was afraid of falling. "Put me down, and I'll show you."
Lu Huangzhi said, "Let's go home and watch it later."
"Not good." Zhao Yesi's legs, held by Lu Huangzhi, swayed. "Let's see now."
"But it's cold outside."
Zhao Yexi was quiet for a moment, imagining himself a thermometer, sensing the temperature around him. "It's a little cold, but I'm not afraid of it," he said, lying on Lu Huangzhi's back. "Are you afraid of the cold, junior?"
This wasn't a move a junior in his normal state would make. Forget about shaking his legs to call out to his junior, Lu Huangzhi doubted that Zhao Yesi, once sober, wouldn't even let him carry him on his back.
He didn't know Zhao Yexi's alcohol tolerance was so poor, and he didn't know Zhao Yexi would behave like this when drunk. If he had known, he might have gotten him drunk a long time ago.
Lu Huangzhi said: "I'm quite hot now."
"Then let's read the grudge book," Zhao Yesi said threateningly, his chin resting on Lu Huangzhi's shoulder. "If you don't read it now, I won't let you read it later."
"Okay," Lu Huangzhi coaxed him, "you count to a hundred, and when you reach a hundred, we'll see."
"Still counting, Lu Huangzhi, you are so childish." Zhao Yesi's tone was full of contempt, just like when he usually talked back to others.
Lu Huangzhi thought he had sobered up so quickly, so he asked tentatively, "Senior?"
"1, 2, 3, 4..."
Lu Huangzhi: “…” He overestimated the drunkard.
When Zhao Yesi counted to 100, Lu Huangzhi opened the door. He put Zhao Yesi on the sofa, took off his coat, turned around to pour hot water, and suddenly the corner of his shirt was pulled.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Yesi said, as if he was afraid that he would regret it. "We agreed to read the grudge book."
Lu Huangzhi had no choice but to sit down next to him, "Okay, let's watch now."
Zhao Yesi took out his cell phone and stared at the back of it for a long time.
Lu Huangzhi:?
"Lu Huangzhi, Lu Huangzhi, look quickly," Zhao Yesi's eyes widened, "My phone is broken!"
Lu Huangzhi patiently turned his phone over and asked, "Try this?"
The face unlock was successful, and Zhao Yesi smiled at Lu Huangzhi with a dazed look in his eyes, revealing his little canine teeth that he always hid and didn't want others to see easily.
Zhao Yesi clicked on the numbers table and showed it to Lu Huangzhi as if showing off: "Look."
Lu Huangzhi only took a glance and saw his name all over the screen.
Lu Huangzhi thinks Wei Xiaobao is happier than Yang Guo, and he wants seven wives.
…
[Lu Huangzhi replied to me with two "ohs" when we were chatting.]
【Lu Huangzhi called me a coward.】
Lu Huangzhi said I was clingy and not objective (in front of others)
Lu Huangzhi didn't write a report for me, and even claimed to have climbed over the firewall for me. What a scumbag!
…
【Lu Huangzhi is quite easy to appease.】
From the first to the last, there were eighty-six entries in total, and each one contained the three characters "Lu Huangzhi".
Lu Huangzhi was stunned.
"It will soon be one hundred," Zhao Yesi said, "If it reaches one hundred, I will... then..."
Lu Huangzhi heard himself ask: "What about you?"
Zhao Yesi knocked his head and said, "I don't think you are handsome anymore."
Lu Huangzhi chuckled.
He didn't just seem to have failed, he really failed, completely failed.
It had been a week since he last marked Zhao Yesi, and the pheromones he left in Zhao Yesi's body had long been metabolized.
But his heart was still beating so fast, even faster than the first time he marked Zhao Yesi.
Regardless of whether Zhao Yesi had been marked by him or not, or whether he had his pheromones on his body or not, he was the only person who could make his heart beat faster, his palms sweat, and him feel at a loss.
It turns out that when facing the person you like, you can be so nervous that you can't even breathe.
Everything Zhao Yexi recorded seemed to be a trivial matter, but he could actually remember every one of them.
Every interaction between him and Zhao Yexi seemed to be recorded by him subconsciously. Zhao Yexi wrote it down in his "grudge book", and he kept it in his mind.
After a long time, he said, "Senior, are you playing tricks on me?"
Zhao Yesi looked at him with a confused expression.
"I've already explained the debate. I can't do anything about the opinions I drew." Lu Huangzhi pointed at one of the messages. "You clearly replied to me with 'oh' more often. If you don't believe me, you can check our WeChat chat history. You often told me to get lost and even blocked me once. I've never told you to get lost, let alone blocked you."
Zhao Yesi scratched his head, "Ah, this..."
"I did call you a 'coward,' but you bounced back. And you also called me an 'idiot,' a 'beast,' and so on."
Zhao Yesi opened his mouth and said, "You were the one who provoked me first."
Lu Huangzhi took Zhao Yesi's phone, clicked on the history, and saw a post he had deleted. "I stole your braised egg?" Lu Huangzhi said with a smile, "I remember there was only one braised egg left. You were in the queue behind me, with someone between us. If I didn't take it, the braised egg would have been taken by the person behind me, and you really wouldn't have had any."
Zhao Yexi uttered an "ah" and complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I misunderstood you."
"It's not all misunderstandings." Lu Huangzhi glanced at the grudge, his smile faded, and he said slowly: "Some things I did just to tease you."
Hearing Lu Huangzhi say this, Zhao Yesi regained his confidence: "So it's not unfair for you to be held against you!"
"It's not unfair." Lu Huangzhi put down his phone, looked into Zhao Yesi's eyes and said, "Did those things make you unhappy?"
"I'm sorry, senior." Lu Huangzhi gently placed his hand on Zhao Yesi's hair. "There won't be a next time."
Zhao Yesi smelled his favorite grapefruit, and the discomfort brought by the drunkenness was relieved a lot. He raised his head and rubbed it in Lu Huangzhi's palm.
Lu Huangzhi's chest tightened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Can you hold me?"
Zhao Yesi didn't understand what he meant and asked confusedly, "What?"
"Give me a hug, please."
"ah?"
"...Forget it." Lu Huangzhi finally understood the meaning of the saying "If you like someone, you should restrain yourself." He had just made his feelings clear, and without knowing whether Zhao Yesi really hated him because of the grudge against him, he thought it would be better to restrain himself. "Senior, why did you delete the [Braised Egg Incident]?"
Zhao Yesi's mind was spinning slowly. He couldn't remember being drunk just an hour ago, but he did remember why he deleted the braised egg incident. "Because I made you angry," Zhao Yesi rubbed his eyes and said, "So I can delete it."
Lu Huangzhi got the point: grudges can be erased.
"Besides this, is there any other way to delete a grudge?"
Zhao Yesi yawned, his eyes moist from sleepiness: "Just be a good person."
Lu Huangzhi smiled, "Well, I will definitely behave myself in the future. Senior, please don't give up on me, okay?"
After sobering up, Zhao Yesi was still calm.
This wasn't the first time Zhao Yesi got drunk. He knew he could handle alcohol well. He wouldn't go crazy when drunk. At most, he would say something incomprehensible and then fall asleep.
Zhao Yesi walked out of the room. Lu Huangzhi was on the phone, and when he saw him come out, he said "wait a moment" to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Good morning," Lu Huangzhi said, "breakfast is on the table."
Zhao Yesi took a bite of the shrimp dumpling and asked, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"
"Your Master."
Zhao Yesi coughed violently and nearly choked to death on his shrimp dumplings. Lu Huangzhi actually asked his master to "wait a moment"?
Lu Huangzhi patted his back and said to the phone, "He's fine, he just choked."
Zhao Yexi: "..."
"Okay, I see. Thank you, Professor."
Lu Huangzhi hung up the phone, and Zhao Yesi couldn't wait to ask him, "Why did my master want to see you?"
Lu Huangzhi met Zhao Yesi's gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. "He... I forgot."
Zhao Yexi: “???”
Lu Huangzhi laughed self-deprecatingly, pressing his fingertips between his brows and saying, "Let me think about it. Oh, he said the country is going to introduce new regulations - alphas and omegas must use odor blockers when entering public places."
"In other words, if Cheng Huaixing deliberately doesn't use the odor blocker next time, he'll not only be violating school rules, but also laws and regulations?"
Lu Huangzhi said: "You can say that."
"What the hell, this is a great event, we have to celebrate." Zhao Yesi poured two glasses of milk and handed one to Lu Huangzhi, "Cheers."
Lu Huangzhi cooperated with him and said, "Do it."
"By the way," Zhao Yesi said slowly, "Did I say anything strange yesterday?"
Lu Huangzhi paused, "No."
Zhao Yesi continued to drink milk with peace of mind.
Lu Huangzhi looked at him for a while and asked, "Senior, do you think Zhizhi Taotao is delicious?"
"Why would I buy it if it doesn't taste good?" Zhao Yesi looked at him as if he was a fool. "Because of its delicate color, because it's incredibly expensive, because you have to wait in line for a year?"
"As long as you like it," Lu Huangzhi said, "the recipe was worth buying."
Zhao Yexi: “……?”
Lu Huangzhi hadn't originally intended to let Zhao Yesi know about this. But after seeing the eighty-six grudges, he realized it. If he did something good for the junior high school leader, he had to tell him, and he had to be straightforward, otherwise the junior high school leader would never see through it.
"I bought the recipe for Zhizhi Taotao from the milk tea shop downstairs."
Zhao Yesi was so frightened that he almost vomited milk, "Who are you kidding?"
"It's true." Lu Huangzhi found the photo of the contract and payment information and showed it to Zhao Yesi, "I didn't lie to you."
Zhao Yesi stared at the long string of numbers on the transfer information and said in disbelief: "Lu Huangzhi, are you going to change your career and open a milk tea shop?"
Lu Huangzhi: “…”
