When Yu Chengsong came out of the bathroom, Yin Gu was sitting on the sofa in the living room smoking. He saw him pat the place next to him.
“Aren’t you afraid that the image of you as a good brother in Yu Chengdi’s eyes will be shattered?” Yu Chengsong sat next to him, “Smoke.”
“Chengdi hasn’t finished his homework, so he won’t come out.” Yin Gu laughed and pushed the newly bought strawberry cake towards him. “What’s wrong? Did you have a fight with your mother?”
“Divine fortune-teller, you guessed wrong this time.” Yu Chengsong took a puff of cigarette, his eyes darkening. “My dad is back.”
“He’s back?” Yin Gu looked at him.
“He’s been working away from home and won’t come back more than two or three times a year.” Yu Chengsong leaned on the sofa, and after a while he said, “I’m staying at your place today. Zheyu’s second aunt has taken her children there, so there’s no place for me.”
“Feel free to stay.” Yin Gu said, “Chengdi should also stay here too. I’m worried about him going home alone.”
“En.” Yu Chengsong said, “Find me one of your clothes. I don’t want to wear this tomorrow.”
“Pick any one you like.” Yin Gu said.
At night, Yu Chengsong took the initiative to apply for the sofa, and Yu Chengdi slept with his brother Gu with a blushing face.
Yin Gu has lived here for more than half a month already, so his pheromones are everywhere in the air, especially on the sofa where he often lies.
Yu Chengsong felt as if he were soaked in sandalwood. He felt inexplicably hot. He tossed and turned for a long time but couldn’t fall asleep. He could only pick up the phone and fiddle with it.
He may need to test his pheromone levels when he has time. He has been feeling a bit unstable lately, so it could be that his susceptible period is approaching.
He was collecting four-leaf clovers for his frog son when the bedroom door made a slight “click” sound. Then he saw Yin Gu hugging a pillow.
Yu Chengsong couldn’t help but be happy and asked quietly, “What’s wrong?”
Yin Gu sighed sincerely, walked to the sofa with a helpless look on his face, and whispered, “Give me some space, is Chengdi clocking up? Is it okay for him to grind his teeth like this every day?”
“I don’t know.” Yu Chengsong smiled and moved in to make room for him. “I think you should worry about your ears instead.”
“I finally understand why you don’t want to sleep on the bed.” Yin Gu sat down next to his waist, rubbed his brows, and couldn’t help laughing again. “It’s too difficult.”
“I’ve never had a good sleep when I slept with him.” Yu Chengsong gloated over his misfortune.
Yin Gu yawned against the backrest of the sofa and his waist. Maybe his sleep quality was not very good to begin with, and now his fatigue was written all over his face.
Yu Chengsong looked at him for a while, then suddenly lifted the quilt, got off the sofa, and walked towards the bedroom.
“What are you doing?” Yin Gu called him in a whisper.
“Push the coffee table next to the sofa.” Yu Chengsong also said in a whisper.
“Oh.” Yin Gu understood, and said with a smile, “Bullying a child?”
“He would be scared if I didn’t bully him.” Yu Chengsong pushed open the bedroom door.
After a while, the wicked elder brother came out carrying his younger brother, who was sleeping soundly.
Yin Gu pushed the coffee table over, and when combined with the sofa, it was about the size of a single bed.
Yu Chengsong put Yu Chengdi on the sofa, rolled him up, and pushed him in. “That’s enough, he sleeps well and won’t roll off.”
“Will he be angered to tears when he wakes up tomorrow?” Yin Gu couldn’t help but say.
“This is just the start, if he would even cry for this, his eyes would go blind already.” Yu Chengsong stretched lazily. “Let’s go. I’m so sleepy.”
The child’s mother still loved his child. He took a small quilt and spread it on the coffee table and put a bottle of mineral water on it to prevent the child from waking up thirsty in the middle of the night.
“Have you set the alarm?” Yu Chengsong turned over in bed.
“I’ve set it.” Yin Gu said, “Go to sleep, I’ll call you tomorrow morning.”
“Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
Yu Chengsong really didn’t sleep well that night and was always in a state of half sleep and half awake.
Moreover, he was always hot, the heat radiating from his skin, his heart was hot, his mouth was dry, and he wanted to jump into ice water.
There was something slightly cooler next to him, and he knew it was Yin Gu, so he held him without hesitation and hugged him in his arms.
Yin Gu did not resist either. He just stretched his head and adjusted the position of the two of them, from being hugged to hugging, and then just let him do whatever he wanted.
So comfortable.
Yu Chengsong sighed in his heart.
Yin Gu may have become refined from ice packs, right…
He wants to give him a kiss… The next morning, Yu Chengsong was woken up by Yin Gu. It wasn’t just a wake-up call, it was a real shout.
“Did you lose consciousness while sleeping?” Yin Gu touched his head, “You don’t have a fever ah.”
“Water…” Yu Chengsong grabbed his head and pulled it to the side, his head dizzy.
Poor sleep quality can be linked to sound sleep, which is quite amazing of him.
Yin Gu sat on the bed and handed him the cup of water.
Yu Chengsong sat up and drank half a cup in one breath, and then he felt his smoking throat relieved a little. “Did you turn on the heater at home? Why is it so hot?”
“Hot?” Yin Gu was stunned. “We slept with the window open last night, I didn’t feel hot. Did you catch a cold?”
“Really?” Yu Chengsong didn’t care. “Maybe.”
Although he was fine after waking up, Yu Chengsong still asked for leave to go to the hospital. The sudden susceptibility period was not a trivial matter, and he had to consider other students.
After a busy morning, the hormone levels tested were all normal, and the next susceptible period was predicted to be in two months.
“Then why am I always hot?” Yu Chengsong asked the doctor while holding the test report.
“It may be that you met an oga who is highly compatible with you, which created a psychological desire, and the psychological stimulation led to your poor sleep at night and fever all over your body.” The doctor analyzed for him, “You are still young, and you often cannot control yourself, which makes this phenomenon occur easily.”
“I suggest you keep your distance from her recently and wait until the symptoms disappear completely before contacting her again.”
“Moreover, your level is too high. If you don’t keep your distance, you will run the risk of bonding with oga.”
Yu Chengsong frowned in confusion: “But I haven’t had any contact with oga recently—” Could it be Jia Man Ning?
“Before, there was an ordinary oga in the class who suddenly had a combination heat. I was exposed to her pheromone, which was strawberry.” Yu Chengsong asked, “Could it be because of this? But I also had trouble sleeping before I came into contact with her though.”
“Ordinary oga wouldn’t be that attractive to you.” The doctor also denied it for him.
Yu Chengsong spent hundreds of yuan to get out of the hospital, only to receive the confusing doctor’s advice to “keep a distance from the non-existent oga.”
His father stayed at home for two days before being chased away by his mother. The house became quiet again, and Yu Chengsong also didn’t wake up from the heat when he slept.
During the physics class, Yu Chengsong dozed off on the table as usual.
Lao Li’s kind and slow voice is the best background sound to help one sleep.
These days, Jia Manning has been urging him and Yin Gu to go to cheerleading practice.
There’s not much to practice either, just marching in formation and doing the movements.
He had no interest in the first place, and coupled with the doctor’s psychedelic advice to “stay away from oga”, nine times out of ten he would just take Yin Gu and run away halfway.
This morning, Jia Man Ning measured his and Yin Gu’s measurements of chest, waist, and hips, said that she was going to make clothes, and asked them not to run away today.
It is impossible not to escape.
It would be better to eat two popsicles with Yin Gu in the infirmary than to stand there stupidly in the hot sun with them.
While sleeping, Yu Chengsong felt that something was wrong.
That unbearable feeling of heat came back.
Moreover, the heat this time was different from the previous ones. It came on with great force and made him very angry. The more he licked with his tongue, the drier his lips became. Even his head and the back of his neck began to feel hot.
Yu Chengsong sat up and prepared to drink some water to calm down, when suddenly a tempting aroma wafted over him…
“Why do you smell so good today?” Yu Chengsong whispered in Yin Gu’s ear.
“En?” Yin Gu tilted his head to look at him and sniffed, “I didn’t release any pheromones. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why is your face so pale?”
“Is it very pale?” Yu Chengsong touched it, he couldn’t feel any temperature, but his skin seemed to be on fire. He frowned and said, “It’s so hot ah.”
“Very pale, but the lips are very red.” Yin Gu didn’t smell Yu Chengsong’s pheromones either, but this most basic method of determining the susceptible period is not applicable to top alphas.
The stronger the alpha, the more sensitive and fragile the emotions during the susceptibility period. Correspondingly, isolation is also more necessary.
But top-level alphas can control their emotional state during the susceptible period, hidden to be exact, achieve the effect of not being noticed, protect themselves from the headstream, and gain enough sense of security.
”Are you approaching your susceptible period?” Yin Gu asked.
“Impossible.” Yu Chengsong touched his head and back, feeling very cool, and didn’t want to let go. “I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it’s two months later.”
“Have you ever thought that it’s because you deliberately controlled the level of pheromones, so it couldn’t be detected?” Yin Gu looked into his eyes.
Yu Chengsong was stunned.
