Chapter 51 Sour Lemons and Stinky Grapes
Lu Xuan turned to the front of the checklist and pointed to the first word.
[Pheromone type: S-grade lemon balm.]
Si You's mouth twitched, and he took the list and read it again...
It's indeed lemon balm, not lemon.
Although Xi Linghui arrived late, she had seen the entire interaction between the two. She asked in confusion, "Didn't I show you his checklist when his pheromones were acting up last time? I even analyzed it with you. How come you remembered the wrong types of pheromones?"
Three pairs of eyes looked at him.
Lu Xuan: Angry.
Wen Congyun: Taking pleasure in other people’s misfortune.
Xi Linghui: Explore.
Si You coughed unnaturally and quickly searched in his mind what this thing was. After a long while, he asked doubtfully, "Is it one of those weeds that grow all over the mountains in the countryside?"
The air suddenly became silent...
A certain alpha kept on babbling: "How can I, a city dweller born and raised, understand this? I haven't been to the countryside in years!"
…
Facing Lu Xuan’s red eyes, Si You explained again: “My attention was completely focused on your physical condition at the time, so I didn’t have the mind to look at the smell of pheromones.
"Besides, it smells like lemons. I was right when I said it was a sour lemon!"
Lu Xuan's brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes were so red that they seemed like they would bleed in the next second, her snow-white skin was burning red, like a porcelain doll that was about to explode.
Xi Linghui couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she explained to this alpha who had no agricultural knowledge, "Bel balm belongs to the genus Melissa in the family Lamiaceae. The leaves have a delicate lemon scent with a hint of mint."
"Although lemon balm is common, it's difficult to detect its lemony scent just by smelling its stems and leaves. If you want to smell the rich and elegant lemon fragrance, you need to extract its essential oil."
"The oil yield of lemon balm is extremely low; it usually takes three to five tons to extract one kilogram of essential oil!"
"Due to its low oil yield and complex extraction process, lemon balm essential oil on the market is expensive and difficult to buy."
Xi Linghui paused for a moment and continued, "There's a ready-made one right next to you for you to hold and smell, so just be happy..."
Wen Congyun patted Si You's shoulder in a comforting manner, feeling that his buddy was not far from divorce.
Not only does he not understand his wife's pheromones at all, but his mouth is as poisonous as poison.
Si You's expression was stiff, and he tried to make excuses: "After all, isn't it still a sour lemon? Even if I don't understand lemon balm, I'm not wrong in describing its taste!"
A stiff expression shifted to Xi Linghui's face...
It is said to be a lemon balm, so why do you still call it a sour lemon?
Wen Congyun silently removed his hand from Si You's shoulder. There was no hope. His brother was beyond help...
I'd better help him sign up for Teacher Liu's class to learn how to coax an omega with high emotional intelligence!
Lu Xuan's face relaxed for less than two seconds before it fell again. He took a few deep breaths, took out his cell phone, started typing hard, and put it in front of him.
Si You narrowed his eyes: "Stinky grapes?"
"You called me a stinky grape?"
Lu Xuan put the phone to his eyes and answered silently.
Si You's forehead veins popped up. He snatched the phone from him and explained through gritted teeth, "My pheromones are red wine! Burgundy red wine!"
Expensive Burgundy wine!
A bottle of good quality Burgundy red wine costs tens of thousands of dollars on the market!
The alpha angrily retorted: "You are the stinky grapes!"
Lu Xuan refused to back down. He stood on tiptoe to grab the phone back and quickly typed: [Rotten grapes become smelly when fermented into wine! Aren’t they just stinky grapes?!]
Young Master Si, who had never lost a verbal battle, turned pale with anger. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and he just couldn't form the right words to refute.
After a long while, all he could utter was: "Tasteless!"
[You are the one with no manners, stinky grapes!]
"Who are you calling a sour lemon?"
【Stinky grapes!】
"Sour lemon!"
*
The pheromones that Si You left on Lu Xuan had decreased a little, but had not completely dissolved.
Xi Linghui also reminded them not to bite each other again, as each bite would deepen the mark.
After returning home, Lu Xuan actually turned around and walked out?
"Where are you going?" Si You grabbed the sulking Lemon Spirit.
Lu Xuan turned around and stared coldly at the hand that was pulling at his clothes: [School.]
"Don't you like living on campus?"
【like. 】
Si You stared at the two words on the screen in front of him, feeling a little uncomfortable. How could he not know whether Lu Xuan liked living on campus?
Someone who finds excuses to take leave every day at school, saying that he likes living on campus? That's simply a lie!
There must be ghosts if you run out late at night!
Si You stood in front of the entrance and scolded him harshly, "Lu Xuan, don't you see it's raining outside? You're still running out in such heavy rain? Don't you know that the carpet at the doorstep was just bought and replaced by my mother not long ago?"
He then pointed to the beige knitted carpet below.
"What if you get all wet and come back and wet my carpet? Do you know how expensive this carpet is?"
Special Assistant Lin followed his gaze and saw that this... this carpet seemed to be only two years old. It was just an ordinary, expensive carpet.
[I won’t come back and wet your carpet.] Lu Xuan typed an explanation helplessly.
Alpha's mouth was tense, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his dark pupils, and he closed the door silently.
