Zhao Yesi glanced at the time. It was already half past nine. Su Cheng and Tao Qiaosheng had agreed to meet at eight, and an hour and a half had passed.
A word of "Well done" to Tao Qiaosheng.
He deserves it.
[It's a tough guy: Are you still going? ]
[Xiao Qiang wants to work hard to become stronger: I won’t go. He should be gone at this late hour.]
[He's a tough guy: Yes.]
Zhao Yesi remembered a time during his college summer vacation when Tao Qiaosheng traveled abroad with his parents. To celebrate Su Cheng's birthday, Tao Qiaosheng returned home early, and Su Cheng went to meet him at the airport. Because the flight was delayed, Su Cheng waited an extra half hour, then made a scene in front of Tao Qiaosheng, threatening to break up with him.
Zhao Yexi, Tao Qiaosheng's close friend, was forced to learn what happened. He felt Su Cheng had gone too far, considering the plane was delayed and Tao Qiaosheng had no choice. However, Tao Qiaosheng said Su Cheng simply hated waiting for people.
Since Su Cheng hates waiting for people so much, he must have left as soon as it was past 8:30. There was no point in going there.
[You're a tough guy: Just keep rolling around.]
Xiao Qiang is trying hard to become Qiao: Ahhhhhhhh! 】
Zhao Yesi remembered that Lu Huangzhi had also waited for him last night, and asked, "How long did you wait for me yesterday?"
Lu Huangzhi said, "About two hours."
"What the hell?" If he had known, he wouldn't have gone to eat hot pot with Tao Qiaosheng. It took so long to eat, and the Shaxian snacks next door were also delicious. "Aren't you angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Lu Huangzhi turned the steering wheel. "I didn't tell you I was coming."
"But two hours is too long. Won't you get impatient waiting?"
Lu Huangzhi said nonchalantly, "Why would I be bothered when I'm about to see Zhao Zhitao? Besides, I was taking care of some work in the car. After I finished, I got out and had a cigarette, and then you came."
Zhao Yesi glanced at Lu Huangzhi's profile and was struck by his handsomeness.
It might be his problem, but he really felt that Lu Huangzhi made full use of his time to work while waiting for him, which was much more attractive than waiting infatuatedly.
This speed of pursuing someone made him feel very natural and comfortable, without any guilt of taking advantage of her.
Of course, this is probably related to Lu Huangzhi's face. If it were someone else, this effect might not be achieved.
After returning home, Zhao Yesi had just changed his shoes when Lu Huangzhi picked him up like a child.
Zhao Yexi: ???
Lu Huangzhi put him on the sofa, put his lips on his gland, and whispered softly: "I miss you so much, Zhitao."
Ah, haven't they always been together?
Lu Huangzhi's personality switch was so sudden that Zhao Yexi was horrified and asked, "Have you been to the hospital's psychiatric department for a checkup? There's definitely something wrong with you."
On Sunday, Zhao Yexi and Lu Huangzhi stayed at home all day.
Lu Huangzhi claimed he was allergic to the air and couldn't go anywhere except where the air smelled like Zhizhi Taotao. Zhao Yexi felt his intelligence was insulted, but they said that alphas in their susceptible period were a different species... so, fine, he'd just stay home with him.
In the evening, Zhao Yesi reminded Lu Huangzhi that it was almost time to leave. Lu Huangzhi said there was no rush and he would leave on Monday morning.
"Driving from my home to the institute takes at least an hour and a half during the morning rush hour."
"Then I'll just get up an hour and a half earlier tomorrow."
Zhao Yexi: "Yoho."
She had actually gone to the extent of giving up sleep to cling to him. His understanding of the susceptible alpha had reached a new level.
The next morning, Lu Huangzhi's mood was alarmingly low. He had to get up early, but Zhao Yesi's mouth ulcer hadn't healed yet.
Zhao Yesi walked Lu Huangzhi to the door and said, "Be careful on the road."
Lu Huangzhi appeared fine on the surface, but he was so upset inside that he wanted to resign immediately.
Zhao Yesi looked at him, feeling that he was about to do something to him, and felt a little panicked.
But Lu Huangzhi just touched his cheek with the back of his hand as he did when he came, and said, "Let's go, Zhao Zhitao."
Zhao Yexi sent the final version of his graduation thesis to Guan Chengji. Guan Chengji replied with two words: "Not bad."
The person involved, Zhao Yesi: I don’t have any special feelings, just my eyes are a little sore.
On the day of the defense, Zhao Yexi took out from his closet the high-end suit his mother had given him when he was eighteen.
The suit is a classic black slim-fit, a style that never goes out of style. Zhao Yexi has barely grown in height since adulthood, and his weight has remained within the five-pound range. A suit that fit him well six years ago still fits him well now.
Zhao Yesi looked at himself in the mirror and felt no different from when he was eighteen.
When he was going out, he received a WeChat message from Lu Huangzhi.
【Lu Huangzhi: Answer well, Senior.】
Zhao Yesi stared at the word "small" for a long time and decided not to argue with Lu Huangzhi for the time being.
[He's a tough guy: Just watch, junior.]
Tao Qiaosheng also sent a greeting: [Feel free to fly, baby! If anything goes wrong, you'll be on your own!]
[It's a tough guy: Get lost.]
The defense went relatively smoothly—no, remarkably smoothly. The professors at the academy generally had a favorable impression of Zhao Yexi, and the quality of his paper was clearly evident. Zhao Yexi answered the professors' questions with clear, organized thought. By the end, Guan Chengji was smiling.
Zhao Yexi felt that his master's degree was secure, and he might even be able to bring honor to his master.
After the defense, Guan Chengji still only gave him a "good" evaluation. Liang Qinghuan approached him and said with a smile, "If Yexi wants to continue his doctoral studies, you can consider me. That way, you will become Huangzhi's direct senior."
Zhao Yesi didn't dare to look at Guan Chengji's expression. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Professor Liang, but I don't have any plans to pursue a doctorate for the time being."
Liang Qinghuan looked at him and said, "Yexi is so cute when he smiles. You should smile more often and not imitate Professor Guan."
Zhao Yesi smiled awkwardly, and almost cried in his heart: How did I offend you? Just tell me directly, don't speak ill of us master and disciple like this.
He doesn't like to smile because he doesn't want others to see his fangs and dimples and then be called cute. It really has nothing to do with Guan Chengji.
Guan Chengji said: "After the defense is over, go back to work early."
Zhao Yesi was extremely obedient in front of his master: "Okay, Professor."
"There's no rush. The department has just hired two new people, so we have enough manpower." Liang Qinghuan seemed to be deliberately contradicting Guan Chengji. "There should be a lot of graduation activities soon. This is the last time in your life, don't miss it."
Zhao Yesi: ...It's so hard for me.
Graduation activities were secondary; Zhao Yexi still had a lot of graduation paperwork to complete. Guan Chengji gave him another week.
Zhao Yesi emerged from the college building, his phone buzzing non-stop. The students who had finished their defenses were having various gatherings. Zhao Yesi was quite popular in school, and they would always invite him to any event.
Classmate Lian Tiao @ him in the group and asked him to go karaoke in the evening.
[He's a hunk: Okay, wait for me to go home and change clothes first.]
Suits look good, but they are too inconvenient.
When Zhao Yexi returned home, a delivery guy who was helping him run errands was standing at his door, holding a bouquet of sunflowers in his hand: "Happy graduation in advance!"
Zhao Yesi took the flowers and really had no idea who sent them.
"And this," the delivery guy picked up the box at his feet, "This is a graduation gift."
Zhao Yesi thanked the delivery boy, carried the box into the living room and opened it - it turned out to be a pheromone meter.
Currently, pheromone meters are technically complex and produced in small quantities. They are primarily used in public places with large crowds, and few people can afford to own one. Zhao Yexi has become one of them.
Zhao Yesi sent a message to Lu Huangzhi: [Where did you get the pheromone meter?]
【Lu Huangzhi: Stolen from the research institute.】
[Is he a tough guy?]
[It's a tough guy: Call the police.]
[Lu Huangzhi: Give it a try, your susceptible period is almost here.]
The pheromone meter resembled a large blood pressure monitor. Zhao Yexi followed the instructions and aimed the input port at his gland. After a few seconds, two lines of numbers appeared on the meter's display.
One line shows the current concentration of pheromones in his body, and the other line shows the estimated time of his next estrus.
【Lu Huangzhi: How is it?】
[He's a tough guy: Seven more days. (Oxygen inhalation.jpg)]
【Lu Huangzhi: Well, how do you plan to live?】
[He's a tough guy.]
Lu Huangzhi: ...
[He's a tough guy: He must be getting an IV drip...right?]
[Lu Huangzhi: (oxygen inhalation.jpg)]
[It's a tough guy: What's that expression on your face?!]
【Lu Huangzhi: No.】
【Lu Huangzhi: As long as Zhao Zhitao is happy.】
【Lu Huangzhi: What are you planning to eat tonight?】
[It's a tough guy: I'm going to karaoke tonight with the chain guys.]
【Lu Huangzhi: Who is the chain? 】
[He's a tough guy: Lian Tiao.]
[Lu Huangzhi: Pay attention to your diet and protect your tongue.]
[Is he a tough guy? ? ? ]
[You're a tough guy: Your tongue is small.]
Zhao Yexi spent the next few days running through paperwork during the day and living a carefree life at night. After the last student finished their thesis defense, Lian Tiao started arranging graduation photos.
In addition to the formal graduation photos at the school or college, most students will also take photos in small groups around the school wearing bachelor's and master's gowns.
For some students who work in other places, the chance to return to school is very rare. They don't want to miss any corner of the school and would like to 3D print a campus to take away.
For Zhao Yexi, who lives near the school: It is possible, but not necessary.
In order to look good in his master's gown, Zhao Yesi wore a white shirt and a black tie, and followed his classmates around the school, stopping and taking pictures, and posing in all kinds of funny poses.
The girls liked Zhao Yexi's looks, and each of them took a photo with him.
A girl said, "Hey, I really want to take a picture with Lu Xiaozhu. It's rare to meet such a handsome guy in real life."
"Plus one. He's in the same profession as us, so taking a picture shouldn't be too much of a stretch..."
"Zhao Yesi, do you have his WeChat? Can you help us ask him?"
Zhao Yesi said: "Sure, but he has to go to work today, so he probably won't be available."
"Just wait until he's free. If not, that's fine. We're sorry to have wasted his time."
The girl saw something and said in surprise: "Hey, it's Lu Huangzhi?"
Zhao Yesi was stunned and turned around to look.
Lu Huangzhi was wearing a simple white T-shirt with letters on it, black trousers, and white shoes. He must have just had his hair cut not long ago, as his hair was a little shorter than usual, making him look fresh and handsome.
Zhao Yesi's heartbeat quickened slightly, and he walked over to ask him, "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to go to work today?"
Lu Huangzhi looked at the headmaster in his graduation gown and curled his lips: "I'm asking for leave to come and see you."
"You even skipped work just to see me?" Zhao Yesi was a little unhappy. "Are you a little too love-minded?"
Lu Huangzhi took out an admission ticket from his trouser pocket and said, "I'll come back to take the exam."
The end of the semester is here, and graduate students also have to take exams.
Zhao Yesi was satisfied: "Is the exam finished?"
"I'm done with the exam," Lu Huangzhi said, "I only dared to come see you after I'm done with the exam."
A girl called Zhao Yesi. Zhao Yesi said, "Oh, by the way, the girls in our teaching and research department want to take a few photos with you. Is it convenient for you?"
Lu Huangzhi said: "If you say yes, then yes."
When Lu Huangzhi took photos with girls, he smiled lightly and politely, and kept the distance just right.
After taking the photo, Lu Huangzhi consciously returned to Zhao Yesi and asked, "Where is your graduation cap?"
Zhao Yesi said, "It's too troublesome and I'm too lazy to wear it."
Lu Huangzhi smiled and said, "Very good."
"Brother Xi," Lian Tiao urged, "Come quickly, we're waiting for you!"
Zhao Yexi said: "You don't have to wait for me, go first."
The two were walking at the end of the team. Someone deliberately slowed down their pace, and they were getting further and further away from the main group.
"How did you do in the exam?" Zhao Yesi asked.
"Not bad." Lu Huangzhi said, "I've had a lot of exams lately, so I've taken a few days off. If you need my help..."
Zhao Yesi's ears felt hot, "No!"
Lu Huangzhi laughed and said, "I mean, help you move things or something like that."
"……oh."
"What are you thinking about? Your ears are red."
"Think, think I have something to move."
They were at the back entrance of the school library. The school, being wealthy, had built a magnificent library. There was an artificial lake with swans in the back, and massive marble columns all around, giving it a palace-like feel. Just now, a few girls had been leaning out from behind the marble columns, taking photos.
"Zhao Zhitao."
"Um?"
Zhao Yesi was grabbed by the wrist by the junior student next to him and pulled, and his back was pressed against the marble pillar.
Before he could react to what was happening, Lu Huangzhi bent down and kissed him on the lips.
Zhao Yesi was stunned.
The kiss was very light and subtle. Strictly speaking, it was just the lips touching.
But he is gone.
Lu Huangzhi straightened up and asked, "Is your tongue okay?"
Zhao Yesi's mind was still blank, and it took him a few seconds to understand Lu Huangzhi's question. He was so nervous that he could almost hear his own heartbeat, and his hands clenched into fists under his master's uniform.
Lu Huangzhi didn't get his answer, so he asked again: "Are you done?"
No! Okay, what do you want to do? You're not in your susceptible period, and we're not officially dating. A kiss without tongue is already over the line. I can't give you anything more extreme. Give up, Lu Xiyou.
“…It’s already healed.”
Zhao Yesi:!!!
Fuck! What's going on?! His mouth isn't working for him anymore!
Lu Huangzhi chuckled and said, "Hmm," "Sorry, I'm late."
As she spoke, she lowered her head towards him again.
His lips were lightly bitten, and he could vaguely hear voices coming from a distance. Zhao Yesi, wearing a graduation gown, leaned against the marble column, so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.
He remembered that they were outside. Although few people came to the back door of the library and there were no cameras, what if Lian Tiao and the others found out that he was missing and came back to look for him?
Zhao Yesi put his hand on Lu Huangzhi's chest, trying to push Lu Huangzhi away.
But Lu Huangzhi's heart was also beating very fast, even faster than his.
It turned out that he was not the only one who was nervous.
Zhao Yesi thought so and opened his lips unconsciously.
In the scent of his favorite grapefruit, Lu Huangzhi kissed him gently and passionately.
This time, his tongue finally came in handy.
