The morning self-study hadn’t even started yet, but the Class 9 classroom was filled with the sounds of ‘Hurry up and let me copy it’, ‘Damn it, did you leave your physics homework?’ and the voice of the class representative screaming at the top of their lungs to collect their homework.
However, these have nothing to do with Qin Cheng. He hasn’t done anything like homework since he was in high school. The day before yesterday, he looked through Tan Qi’s chemistry exercise book and thought it was in English.
He was live streaming until after two o’clock last night, and personally experienced the ‘new neighbor’s’ daily routine.
Very good, the new neighbor is simply a fucked up person, but at least in other aspects they don’t stay up late, or he stays up very quietly, which does not affect his fragile sleep at all.
Qin Cheng was lying on the table. So sleepy that he felt like he was going to ascend to heaven. He felt as if his eyes were frosted and he could hear the roar of his eyelids whenever he closed and opened them.
When he was about to fall asleep, the chemistry class representative came over with a stack of papers and stood next to him. He looked at Qin Cheng, whose face was half buried in his arms and his eyes were about to close, and greeted: “Good morning, Qin-ge.”
Qin Cheng raised his hand as a response.
On the surface, he was so sleepy that he couldn’t open his eyes, but his ears were always on stand by, only to hear the class representative softly ask in a voice that was a little shy: “Jian Heng, have you written yesterday’s English paper? The teacher wants to collect it.”
Qin Cheng sneered in his heart. He just wrote barren things. Falling asleep during class, what kind of thing can he write——
“Write.” Jian Heng said.
Qin Cheng seemed to hear a ‘slap’ sound on his face. Even though no one heard the words in his heart, he still felt a pain in his face. He simply changed direction and buried his head in the crook of his elbow, pretending to be asleep.
Qin-ge fell asleep and was sleepwalking just now.
The pretend became real, and half an hour later the school bell woke him up.
He actually fell asleep.
Qin Cheng was shocked.
His sleep quality is not good. Although he always lies down, he rarely sleeps soundly. This time, he actually dozed off during the chaotic early self-study session. Is he going to be cured of this problem?
A medical miracle.
The English teacher spread out the examination paper on the platform and glanced around first to check if there was anyone missing.
The boy sitting at the back without wearing the school uniform top had his head knocked on the desk. It’s hard to tell if he’s asleep or playing with his mobile phone. Among the students sitting upright, he was particularly striking.
But today, there was someone who was as striking as him——the boy sitting next to Qin Cheng was wearing a black T-shirt, with cold features and narrow eyes half-raised looking towards the blackboard, his gaze indifferent. His short hair was shaved close to the skin, and his back was straight, forming a rigid line with his neck.
Just from the appearance, he doesn’t seem like a good student.
Although Teacher Xu has told her several times that this was a student with excellent grades, the English teacher still couldn’t believe that this boy who slept through the entire class yesterday had basically scored almost full marks in English at his previous school.
Thinking of this, she spread out the English book and said: “I gave you homework for Unit 1 vocabulary yesterday, so you should have memorized them all, right? Now, take out a piece of paper and test the vocabulary.”
There was a sudden wail from below.
The English teacher was unmoved. Her gaze was focused on Jian Heng with an appraising look. Jian Heng looked at her expressionlessly. When their eyes collided, the English teacher subconsciously avoided his gaze.
This student’s eyes were too fierce, sending chills down her spine.
What Qin Cheng saw when he raised his head was this strange scene. This is really crazy. What’s there to see? He glanced twice and plopped back down.
Out of the corner of his eye, Jian Heng pulled out a piece of A4 paper from the desk, spread it on the table, and placed his right hand on the paper, spinning the pen up and down.
His fingers were slender and bony, and the black fountain pen circled with the movement of his fingers. Perhaps Qin Cheng was too sleepy. The shallow golden sunlight shone down, and the fountain pen in his line of sight left a small shadow, chasing and flying after his fingertips.
Seeing Qin Cheng lying down with peace of mind, the English teacher, for some reason, called him for the first time: “Qin Cheng, get up and write some words.”
Qin Cheng, who had just closed his eyes: “Um???” Is this a sudden attempt to save his English grade? I’m so touched, what to do?
Qin Cheng was always polite to the teacher. He neither lost his temper nor changed his face. He climbed up like he had no bones and started rummaging his desk…
A few seconds later, Qin Cheng raised his hand and said with a sincere expression: “Teacher, I don’t have a paper.”
The class burst into laughter.
The English teacher was also accustomed to seeing the storm. Realizing that she also had no paper at hand, she looked at Jian Heng again and said: “Qin Cheng’s deskmate, give him a piece of paper.”
Qin Cheng cursed in his heart. He subconsciously turned his head and his gaze bumped into Jian Heng, who was looking at him. They looked at each other for less than a second before they turned away with disgust.
Qin Cheng really didn’t think Jian Heng could lend him a piece of paper, at least not right now. He pulled out a piece directly from the desk and put it on his desk without saying any nonsense or looking at him…
Like a ruthless paper feeding machine.
The teacher has already started the vocabulary test.
“The first one. Someone or something inspiring or uplifting.”
“Agriculture.”
“Debate.”
…..
The sound of pen tips writing echoed in the classroom, occasionally interspersed with a few very softly spoken ‘How do you write it?’ The atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Qin Cheng, like a janitor who had wandered into the exam room by mistake, leisurely wrote the elaborate characters ‘Qin Cheng’ with vivid and vigorous flourishes writing style on the paper, then sequentially wrote down the numbers ‘1.’, ‘2.’, ‘3.’ on the left side in order…
And then, no more.
He propped his chin up in boredom and glanced at Jian Heng again from the corner of his eye. Jian Heng actually wrote all of them. Less than half of the paper was full of words with a vigorous and sharp writing style.
English letters also need to be written in such a cool way. Sure enough, people can practice anything just to show off.
Qin-ge disdains it. Men, as long as they can make money to support their family, what’s the use of so many fancy things?
After the teacher finished the test, the class monitor came down to collect the papers. Qin Cheng handed his paper over casually. Jian Heng’s arm reached just in front of his nose and placed the paper in the class monitor’s hand.
Qin Cheng glanced at him. This person seemed to have done nothing, retracting his hand and starting to spin the pen again.
Qin Cheng couldn’t help but remember a saying: Spinning a pen is a bad habit that distracts attention and does not benefit students’ learning at all…
He is really idle.
An inch of time is an inch of gold; after sleeping and losing forty-five inches of gold once again, the after class bell woke up Qin Cheng on time.
Qin Cheng lay on the table with his eyes half open for a while. Sighing, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his schoolbag, stood up, and lazily walked to the toilet. His head was buzzing and his heartbeat was not quite normal.
Staying up late really makes the body become worse day by day. He should start live streaming early today and try to go to bed before twelve o’clock. Step by step.
He walked to the corner of the toilet on the first floor. Qin Cheng had a cigarette in his mouth and hadn’t lit it yet. Suddenly, he smelled a faint scent of incense, and Jian Heng’s shadow flashed in front of his eyes.
He pressed the lighter to light the cigarette and took a long puff. He really shouldn’t stay up late anymore. It’s really easy to die suddenly, he even has hallucinations.
While he was rubbing his temples, a group of students came running in from outside, all frowning and their expression was ugly. When they saw Qin Cheng, they immediately called him: “Qin-ge.”
Qin Cheng hummed and joked with a cigarette in his mouth: “What’s the hurry? Did you wet your pants?”
Inside, a male student familiar to him frowned, looking like he had experienced some worldly suffering. His voice was hoarse, and he spoke listlessly: “It’s not about needing to use the restroom. The new Alpha in our class suddenly enters his susceptible period. The whole room is covered with pheromones! The level of that Alpha is almost the same as yours, Qin-ge. It almost made me kneel down from the pressure…”
“Is Jian Heng’s susceptible period arrived?” Qin Cheng frowned and stubbed out his cigarette.
Alphas at the level of him and Jian Heng have several times more control over themselves than ordinary Alphas. It is almost impossible for a susceptible period to come suddenly and catch them unprepared. So what is Jian Heng doing? Deliberately casting a wide net on the second floor of the high school during the susceptible period to find a highly compatible dream Omega lover?
“It’s him,” one of the Omega whispered, covering his chest with a red face. “This pheromone is also too A. Is it the smell of incense? I’m getting weak in the knees.”
It is quite common for an Alpha to suddenly enter their susceptible period, and Omega now carries inhibitors with them. When this situation happens, just spray it twice and it will work. There is no need to worry about causing any panic either.
For an Alpha, it’s just a matter of the teacher calling the parents to come and pick them up, and then going to the hospital to get an injection. Just rest at home for a few days and wait until the susceptible period passes, and it will be fine.
Qin Cheng didn’t care either. After laughing twice, he took out his cigarette case, intending to have another one.
When he raised his hand, his heart suddenly hurt, as if a stone had crushed him, and the pain made his whole body freeze. The fingers holding the cigarette shook, and the cigarette fell to the ground.
“Qin-ge!” Several people rushed to support Qin Cheng, who couldn’t even stand. They looked at him nervously, asking him what was wrong.
Qin Cheng’s mouth was dry and his vision was blurry when he opened his eyes.
It’s over. It couldn’t really be a sudden death, right?
In a daze, he smelled a faint scent of incense. Qin Cheng pushed away the person holding him and staggered out the door.
Even a group of people didn’t dare to stop him. They could only escort him from the side.
Qin Cheng walked out of the restroom. The smell of incense was getting stronger and stronger, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
With reddened eyes, he ran forward a few steps with a burst of energy. When he turned the corner, he collided with another person who was running just as urgently as him.
The smell of incense was extremely strong. Qin Cheng’s body gradually emitted a damp woody scent, mixed with a faint smell of tobacco. It intertwined with the smell of incense. Their pheromones blend together, causing the group of people following behind to collectively retreat, not even daring to come close.
Qin Cheng looked up in a daze, it was Jian Heng…
Reason eventually succumbed to the surging pheromones. Qin Cheng couldn’t care less about who the person in front of him was. Instinctively, he grabbed Jian Heng’s collar and bit the Alpha gland on the back of his neck without hesitation.
At the same time, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his neck——Jian Heng had bitten him as well.
Damn it.
–
When Qin Cheng woke up, he found Jian Heng sitting nearby. His face was a little pale, but he seemed to be in good spirits.
Qin Cheng was still a little confused. At that time, he was so miserable that he bit people, but now there was no other feeling except a headache.
Seeing that he was awake, Jian Heng pressed the call bell. His demeanor was calm as if the Alpha who had just bitten each other was not him.
Not long after, the doctor walked in.
Qin Cheng opened his mouth to thank the doctor first. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and asked: “Doctor, I have congenital Omega pheromone insensitivity, and there is no susceptible period. What happened… to the two of us today?”
Jian Heng raised his eyes.
The doctor pushed up his glasses and looked at the two of them with great interest: “After testing, it was found that the two of you have an extremely rare Alpha pheromone compatibility. Jian Heng’s pheromones stimulated your susceptible period, and your pheromones advanced Jian Heng’s susceptible period.”
“You two need to help each other during the susceptible period in the future and stay together as much as possible. Don’t be apart for a long time like today.”
Qin Cheng was stunned. He opened his mouth but could not say anything.
Jian Heng reacted first, his voice cold: “Today, he just went to the restroom and we were separated for less than five minutes.”
The doctor smiled and said: “You must not have been together last night. Adding up the time, it’s already quite long.”
Qin Cheng couldn’t digest this fact. He took a deep breath, looked at the doctor, and asked with difficulty: “Then… this is what we will do from now on?”
“I-during my susceptible period… I could only… stay with him?”
One sentence was broken into so many sentences. Qin Cheng was so shocked that he almost went crazy.
The doctor explained: “When Jian Heng finds an Omega who is more compatible with him than you, he will no longer be bound to you.”
Qin Cheng had an ominous premonition: “Then, what should I do after that?”
“Er,” the doctor hesitated, “Currently, medical advice suggests that you take medication for a long period of time.”
Qin Cheng: “…”
Fuck!
The author has something to say:
Pancake squatted in the corner excitedly: Susceptible period! Susceptible period! Susceptible period!
LMAO, so unfair… Poor QC. 🥲
Yes, this is the scene that are described in the summary.
