Zhao Yesi and Lu Huangzhi arrived at the school. The security guard at the school gate saw them getting out of a car and said, "I knew it!" No wonder he had to cover up the students' climbing over the wall before, it turned out they were having an affair.
During break, the two walked side by side on campus, attracting many curious, inquiring glances. One boy, trying to catch a glimpse of them, bumped his head against a telephone pole. The noise was loud, a good start.
Zhao Yesi unconsciously distanced himself from Lu Huangzhi. Lu Huangzhi said, "Hmm?"
“They make me uncomfortable.”
Lu Huangzhi pulled Zhao Yesi's hat back to his side and said, "If it's not a legitimate relationship, what are you afraid of, teacher?"
"I'm afraid the electric poles will be damaged, causing a power outage in the school."
Di Zhonghai stood downstairs in the administrative building, looking around anxiously. Seeing Zhao Yesi and Lu Huangzhi approaching, he immediately rushed over to them. They were so fast that the wig on his head fluttered.
"Xiao Lu and Xiao Zhao, some parents have formed the Avengers Alliance and are now in the principal's office, demanding a response to your inappropriate relationship. They're also saying that if this matter isn't properly handled, they're going to contact reporters and get influential Weibo users to repost it..."
Lu Huangzhi asked: "What did the principal say?"
"The principal and I both feel that the best approach right now is to tell the students' parents your true identities. However, without your permission, we dare not disclose anything. If it affects the work of the ABO Institute, the school cannot bear the responsibility."
Zhao Yesi thoughtfully helped him put on his wig properly and said, "It's okay, Lao Di. Leave this to us."
On the playground, Cheng Huaixing was playing basketball with his classmates. He was so distracted that his passes were intercepted several times. He simply gave up and walked off the court with a gloomy face.
"Brother Xing," Wang Wenle handed him a bottle of water, "I just saw your mother."
"My mom?" Cheng Huaixing frowned. "Why is my mom here at school?"
"It's not just your mother, there are many other people's mothers as well. I saw them heading towards the administration building in a large group."
Cheng Huaixing yelled "Fuck!", stuffed the water into Wang Wenle's arms, and ran straight to the administrative building.
His mother had heard about Lu Huangzhi and Zhao Yesi from somewhere and kept asking him about the situation. He was so annoyed that he ignored her. Later, he accidentally overheard his mother talking on the phone with another classmate's mother. He thought it was just some trivial matter and didn't pay much attention to it.
He knew his mother's temper. He liked to make trouble when he encountered trouble. If the matter got out of hand, would Zhao Yexi be fired or even involved in a lawsuit?
So, will he never be able to smell Zhao Yesi's pheromones again?
Cheng Huaixing rushed to the principal's office and saw six or seven mothers sitting inside. His mother sat in the center, pointing at Jiangshan with a meaningful look: "The dean of students was caught having a relationship with underage high school students, and they were two boys at that." Cheng's mother spread her hands and looked around, "What the hell is this!"
The other mothers agreed and added one.
The principal wiped his sweat and said, "Lu Huangzhi has reached adulthood."
"But he's still a student, right?" Cheng Ma paused. "I remember Zhao Yesi said last time that he was Lu Huangzhi's distant uncle."
Cheng Huaixing shouted: "Mom!"
Cheng Ma turned around and saw him. She said, "Ah Xing, you're here just in time. Come sit here with me and tell your principal whether you, as students, can accept a teacher like Zhao Yesi."
"Mom, what are you doing?" Cheng Huaixing lowered his voice and said, "Didn't my dad tell you not to mess with Lu Huangzhi?"
Cheng's mother leaned over to Cheng Huaixing's ear and said, "It's okay. The teacher is usually at fault in teacher-student relationships. That Zhao Yexi is just a baby-faced omega, and he doesn't look like a teacher at all. Letting him be the Dean of Studies for the senior year would only hold you back."
Cheng Huaixing said angrily, "Who told you to act on your own? I like the current Dean very much!"
Zhao Yexi, who had just entered the room, exclaimed: "Ah, this..."
Lu Huangzhi: Haha.
Zhao Yexi said: "It seems that we came at the wrong time."
Cheng Huaixing's face flushed completely, and he tried to save face: "At least he is better than that former dean who can only catch chickens."
"No, no, no," the principal rushed out from behind his desk, holding Zhao Yesi's hand, tears streaming down his face, "You came at the right time!"
Zhao Yesi patted the principal's hand and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay."
The last time Cheng's mother came to the school to help her son vent his anger, she failed and was scolded by her husband. She didn't dare to cause trouble for Lu Huangzhi now, but she was still not afraid of Zhao Yesi.
"Teacher Zhao," Cheng's mother deliberately avoided looking at Lu Huangzhi, "Aren't you going to resign? Why are you still staying in school and dating a male classmate?"
"Yes, I'm here today to handle the formalities."
One mother said, "Huaixing's mother, what kind of brand are they wearing on their chests?"
Lu Huangzhi and Zhao Yexi had cards like work IDs hanging around their necks, with blue letters on a white background and photos on them.
Cheng's mother couldn't make out the words clearly and said, "Who knows, maybe it's a bus card."
Lu Huangzhi stepped forward and said, "The three-month research period has officially ended. Thank you to the school for cooperating with our work."
Although Lu Huangzhi still looks youthful without his school uniform, it's clear he's not a high school student. He wears a white shirt, the hems loosely tucked in, making his legs look straight and long. Over that, he wears a knee-length black windbreaker, and with his badge on his chest, he looks like a hardened detective from a comic book.
The principal understood what he meant and began to brag with Lu Huangzhi: "It is an honor for all the teachers and students of Tancheng No. 1 Middle School to be chosen as a test site by the ABO Research Institute."
The mothers were all confused: What is going on? Why does the principal have this attitude towards a student?
The principal smiled and said, "I wonder if the research went smoothly. I hope the students didn't cause you any trouble."
"It doesn't matter if it causes trouble," Zhao Yesi glanced at Cheng Huaixing, "Only when there is trouble can we discover the problem."
"ABO Research Institute? A test site?" Cheng's mother began to panic. "What the hell is going on here?"
Cheng Huaixing narrowed his eyes and saw clearly the words on the two people's work badges.
[ABO Research Institute, Social Survey Department, Zhao Yexi]
[ABO Research Institute, Social Survey Department, Lu Huangzhi]
Cheng Huaixing's mind raced faster than his mother's: "You... aren't real teachers and students?"
Di Zhonghai said, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Bu are researchers from the ABO Research Institute. They came to our school to promote the ABO response plan for colleges and universities. To ensure the accuracy of their research results, they used three different identities to personally integrate into the school and help students establish correct values about the second gender."
After the huge shock, Cheng Huaixing actually felt a little relieved.
Zhao Yexi is not his teacher. The reason why Zhao Yexi and Lu Huangzhi are so close is because they are originally in the same group!
"So, it's not a teacher-student relationship?"
"Is it an office romance?"
Zhao Yesi: ...Isn’t your focus a bit strange?
Lu Huangzhi said calmly: "This is our private matter."
The mothers looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy. They followed Cheng's mother into the principal's office in a rage. They thought that offending the principal and the people from the ABO Institute would have no effect on their children.
A mother forced a smile and said, "It seems this is all a misunderstanding. I'm sorry, Teacher Zhao, Teacher Lu, Teacher Lu, we were too impulsive."
"It's a misunderstanding. I understand your feelings." If a teacher-student relationship truly existed, parents' concerns were understandable. "The ABO Research Institute will issue a statement later to ensure the reputation of Tancheng No. 1 Middle School remains unaffected. As for the students..."
The principal said, "Di Zhonghai, go and prepare the school-wide announcement right away."
The mothers felt relieved and winked at Cheng's mother, indicating that she should say a few nice words.
Mother Cheng, holding on to her last bit of stubbornness, said, "Just do the research. Why hide your identity? You're lying."
Zhao Yexi smiled and said, "If your son hadn't concealed his identity, how could he have used pheromones to pressure me? If he hadn't used pheromones to pressure me, I wouldn't have reported this to the institute, and the country wouldn't have issued a policy requiring alphas and omegas to use odor blockers in public."
"Student Cheng should be very proud," Lu Huangzhi said, "Not everyone can become the driving force behind a national policy."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Cheng Huaixing. He felt like a thorn in his back, like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a fishbone stuck in his throat, and his toes were digging into the ground with shame. He lowered his head and instinctively defended himself: "I, I didn't mean it."
Zhao Yesi sneered, "I believe it."
Cheng's mother couldn't bear to see her son being wronged, so she said, "Ah Xing has only been differentiated into alpha for a short time, so it's normal for him to forget to use the inhibitor. Do you think you can always remember?"
Zhao Yexi said: "I really can."
Lu Huangzhi: "Me too."
"Mom," Cheng Huaixing said, unable to bear it any longer, "Can you please stop talking! Stop embarrassing yourself here, I beg you, just go home!"
Being yelled at by her son in front of so many people, Cheng's mother was completely embarrassed. At this time, her cell phone rang, and when she saw the caller ID of her husband, she had a bad feeling.
"Leave this to me," Lu Huangzhi said to Zhao Yesi, "You go and pack your things first."
Zhao Yexi said, "Okay."
He didn't have much to pack, just a bunch of documents, so he packed them up quickly. He also took his thermos with him as a souvenir.
Walking out of the office, Zhao Yesi saw Cheng Huaixing waiting at the door, with an expression that looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Zhao Yexi: “?”
Cheng Huaixing said, "I have something to tell you."
"explain."
Cheng Huaixing took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry for using pheromones to pressure you."
"Are you done? Goodbye then."
Cheng Huai said in one breath: "Lu Huangzhi said that you are his omega."
Zhao Yesi was stunned: "Ah, am I?"
Cheng Huaixing saw hope and asked anxiously, "He's a liar, right?"
"Actually, he's not wrong." He and Lu Huangzhi were both in the same experimental group. Lu Huangzhi would only mark him, and he would only accept Lu Huangzhi's pheromones. Lu Huangzhi said he was his omega, so next time he should also tell others that Lu Huangzhi was his alpha, so that he wouldn't lose out.
The light in Cheng Huaixing's eyes dimmed, and it felt like something had pierced a hole in his heart.
The eighteen-year-old high school student had no time to clearly see his own vague feelings. The seed of secret love had just emerged when it was killed by one blow.
Lu Huangzhi came out of the elevator and saw Zhao Yesi and Cheng Huaixing standing face to face. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhao Zhitao."
Zhao Yexi's forehead furrowed, and he quickly left Cheng Huaixing and walked towards Lu Huangzhi.
"Why are you calling me like that in front of others?"
Lu Huangzhi took the cardboard box from his hand and asked, "You can't scream in front of others?"
"No, we can only yell when there are only two of us."
Lu Huangzhi smiled and said, "Okay—what did Cheng Xinghuai say to you?"
"Nothing," Zhao Yexi said, "It's all useless nonsense."
Lu Huangzhi said: "He wants to pursue you, you should know."
Zhao Yesi was stunned for a moment, "Impossible."
"Why not?"
"Because I've never been pursued by anyone in my life. I have very bad luck with women."
Lu Huangzhi: “…”
Maybe he is not human.
