It was Yu Yang who told Cheng Che that Zhou Zhou had gone to his dads’ hometown. He advised Cheng Che not to overthink it, as Zhou Zhou was just going there to relax and wouldn’t be gone forever.
Cheng Che felt even more troubled as soon as he heard this.
It was the first time Cheng Che had felt so helpless about something. His body clock hadn’t adjusted back after the college entrance exam. He woke up at six in the morning, stood on the balcony to feel the breeze, watched the city transform from darkness to light, and then took out his phone to message Zhou Zhou.
Cheng Che: Where are you now?
He knew where Zhou Zhou was. But he couldn’t think of a better opening.
Zhou Zhou replied after about half an hour, probably just waking up.
Zhou Zhou: I’m at my dads’ place. Just arrived yesterday.
After being dragged around by classmates who were celebrating the end of the college entrance exam as if they had been released from prison, Zhou Zhou was exhausted. So, he packed up and immediately went to his dads’ place.
Cheng Che had just finished breakfast and was returning to his room when he saw Zhou Zhou’s reply. Without much hesitation, he asked; When are you coming back?
Zhou Zhou replied; ...I just arrived here yesterday.
Sitting on the edge of his bed, Cheng Che ran his hand through his hair and held his phone, pondering for a moment before asking; How did your exams go?
Zhou Zhou responded; They went okay, I think. I performed as expected, maybe even slightly better.
Cheng Che nervously bit his nails as he continued typing with one hand; Will you be able to get into the research institute?
Zhou Zhou: I should be able to.
This means he will be attending university in the same city.
When they were together, they discussed the issue of attending university. Cheng Che told Zhou Zhou at the time that he would stay in this city and could choose from the top programs at the research institute. After all, even if the City A Research Institute couldn’t make it to the top three in the country, it was at least the best in the province. With some programs that could be considered top-notch in the country, there was enough prestige.
With Zhou Zhou’s grades, as long as his chemistry didn’t lag behind the rest of the science subjects, entering the research institute would be completely feasible. He could find the corresponding college and major based on his scores.
Cheng Che had never considered any other options. Universities had contacted him before the college entrance examination. His parents overseas had mentioned that there were very good universities there for him to consider. However, Cheng Che had been independent since childhood. While going to a better school would be nice, he simply hadn’t thought about it. Wherever he studied didn’t matter to him, otherwise he would have gone abroad for junior and senior high school.
Moreover, many people were vying for admission to the research institute. There were only three guaranteed spots in the province each year. Originally, Cheng Che was supposed to be guaranteed admission. But then Cheng Yan said, “Let me tell you, it sounds better to be a top scorer than a guaranteed admission student.”
This uncle of his was simply toxic. He told Cheng Che to refuse the guaranteed admission spot at the research institute first, then to become the top scorer in the science stream. By then, all the schools would be vying to have him and he could reject them one by one before stepping into the research institute, ensuring that the entire city would shine.
Cheng Che hadn’t planned to accept the guaranteed admission spot anyway. He had always wanted to work hard and take the college entrance examination with Zhou Zhou. Although things had happened later, Cheng Che had never felt that he had made a wrong decision in choosing a school.
Now that he had heard Zhou Zhou’s response, Cheng Che’s heart lightened a bit. Leaning on the pillow, he was about to playfully ask Zhou Zhou about the specific location of his father’s house when Zhou Zhou messaged him again: What about you? With your excellent grades, shouldn’t the better universities be competing to have you?
Cheng Che stared at the message for two seconds, revealing a rare smile that hadn’t been seen in a while.
It wasn’t just him who felt uneasy. After their separation, Zhou Zhou must also have many worries. Cheng Che’s promise of “I will always be by your side” lost its effectiveness at a critical moment. Zhou Zhou would undoubtedly be concerned about all the agreements between them, including going to the research institute together.
Cheng Che pursed his lips and replied; That depends on my grades.
Zhou Zhou: Haven’t your grades always been stable? Do you feel like you didn’t perform well?
Just waking up, seeing Cheng Che’s WeChat message made him considerably more alert. After their conversation, he felt a bit uneasy, wondering if Cheng Che might have other options. Unexpectedly, the perennial top student was now saying that the decision depends on his grades, looking as if he had underperformed.
Already feeling uneasy, Zhou Zhou, upon hearing Cheng Che’s words, thought he might have influenced his performance. This realisation jolted him awake and he quickly sat up to type.
Zhou Zhou: Have you estimated your scores? Is there a specific subject you think you did poorly in? What’s the reason?
His dear Omega inexplicably found himself caught in a worrisome situation. But Cheng Che took the initiative and replied; I’m not sure. We’ll see when the grades come out.
Although Zhou Zhou knew that the chances of a top student underperforming were similar to a mediocre student unexpectedly excelling and getting into a top-tier institution. But when it came to Cheng Che, he was still very concerned. He even went as far as asking Cheng Che questions like; Can you even get admitted into the research institute?
Cheng Che responded cautiously; That still depends on my grades.
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
He immediately sent a voice message to Yu Yang: Yu Yang, do you think that if Cheng Che underperforms, he might not even get into the research institute?
Yu Yang: Zhou Zhou, are you dumb? Even if Cheng Che misses one exam, the gates to the research institute will still swing wide open for him, okay? You better worry about yourself instead.
Just as Zhou Zhou was about to ease his concerns, Yu Yang, after some thought, deliberately said through a voice message; Well, even if he doesn’t get into the research institute, he can still go abroad for university. With his brain, getting into a prestigious school will be a piece of cake.
Then he left him hanging, leaving Zhou Zhou sitting on the bed alone, pondering the question to himself; What will we do if Cheng Che really goes abroad?
***
Yesterday, Yu Yang had just returned from meeting up with classmates. As he reached the downstairs of his place, his phone made a sound. Jin Wuqi sent a WeChat message: How did the exams go?
Yu Yang: It went fine.
He had just sent the message when he heard a soft laugh nearby. Jin Wuqi slowly emerged from the shadows, lazily blinking his eyes at him. In a teasing tone, he said, “I’m taking in the heartbroken boy from the college entrance exams. The exam papers may be heartless, but I have feelings, you know~”
Then, that night, Jin Wuqi was left lying on the bed, gasping for breath and crying. All thanks to the heartbroken boy from the college entrance exams, Yu Yang.
Now, Yu Yang had just finished sending the voice message to Zhou Zhou and headed to the bathroom. Jin Wuqi was brushing his teeth. As Yu Yang entered, he handed over a toothbrush with toothpaste already applied on it.
Yu Yang took the toothbrush and held Jin Wuqi’s hand. He took a sip of water from his mouthwash cup and gurgled. He then began brushing his teeth with his head lowered.
Jin Wuqi stood quietly beside Yu Yang, watching him. After Yu Yang finished washing his face, Jin Wuqi handed him a towel.
While wiping his face in front of the mirror, Yu Yang asked, “What are you doing? You’re so full of energy, standing here all the time.”
“I just want to look at you. You look so handsome. Can’t I enjoy the view?” Jin Wuqi leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and smiled.
Yu Yang glanced at him and lowered his head to wipe his face with the towel. Jin Wuqi gently rubbed his leg against Yu Yang’s knee, saying, “The sun is so bright. In the future, let’s play basketball indoors. Don’t go outdoors. Getting your skin tanned isn’t good. I prefer a fairer complexion.”
Yu Yang hung the towel and ran his fingers through his hair in front of the mirror. He then turned to look at Jin Wuqi and said, “Don’t you only like them big?”
This damn high school graduate. As soon as he graduated, he started shamelessly flirting. Jin Wuqi glanced lightly at him. He then turned and walked away.
He was only wearing Yu Yang’s T-shirt. His legs are stark white beneath the oversized shirt. Yu Yang stood behind him and squinted his eyes. He then let out a low growl and took a few steps forward. He then swept him up into his arms, carrying him back to the room.
“What’s wrong? You don’t like them big anymore?” Yu Yang pressed against Jin Wuqi. His hand slipped beneath the shirt and gently teased his nipples. There was a smirk playing on his lips. “You didn’t say so last night.”
Since breaking free from the alpha-centric school rules after the college entrance exams, Yu Yang’s pheromones were released without reservation. Jin Wuqi’s expression was visibly becoming more confused as he breathed heavily, gripping Yu Yang’s hand that was causing mischief on his body. He looked at him and said, “I’m leaving next month.”
“When will you be back?” Yu Yang lowered his head and kissed his neck as he mumbled.
He had gotten used to it. In the past few months, Jin Wuqi had been flying domestically and internationally. It was normal not to see him for ten days or half a month.
“I’ve told you before, technically, going abroad for me is not a business trip. Coming back to China is my real business trip.” Jin Wuqi gently touched Yu Yang’s back, inhaling the fragrance from the young man’s hair. He finally swallowed some words and said, “This time, I might be gone for a longer while.”
“That’s fine.” Yu Yang lifted his head. He turned and planted a kiss on Jin Wuqi’s wrist. “No matter how long, I’ll wait for you. If it doesn’t work, I’ll come find you. The summer break is so long—three months. I really don’t know how to spend it.”
Jin Wuqi looked at him. His fingertips slowly traced the contour of Yu Yang’s jawline. He chuckled softly, “Sure. That works too.”
Then, he slid his hand down into Yu Yang’s pants. There was a familiar teasing glint in his eyes. The subtle allure at the corners of his eyes acted like hooks. With a sweet and sultry tone, he said, “I do like them big, especially yours.”
