Shen Yanlang was puzzled for a moment, then realized that Duan Xu could hear him, and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
Then, Shen Yanlang stared intently at Duan Xu, a malicious smile on his face.
Duan Xu looked at him warily, sensing that he was about to cause trouble.
As expected, Shen Yanlang's gaze first fell on his eyes.
[Your eyes are so beautiful, let me kiss them.]
Then my gaze shifted downwards, landing on the tip of his nose.
[Her nose is small and cute, let me give her a kiss.]
Finally, my gaze fell on his lips.
[Pink, soft lips, kiss them twice, lick them, then slip your hand inside...]
"You! You're living in your brain!"
Duan Xu blushed and felt hot as these words came one after another. They were just looking at him and talking, but it felt like they were really kissing him, making him extremely embarrassed.
Duan Xu raised his hand to cover Shen Yanlang's mouth, Shen Yanlang's eyebrows curved into a smile as he stuck out his tongue and licked it.
[Xuxu, I didn't speak with my mouth.]
Duan Xu: "..."
Duan Xu was furious and ashamed. "You're shameless! You're a scoundrel! Stop calling yourself Shen Yanlang, just call yourself Shen Rascal!"
Shen Yanlang couldn't help but chuckle softly. He took Duan Xu's hand, pulled it down, and kissed the back of his hand. "I suddenly realized that you have a pretty good ability."
Duan Xu glared at him and said fiercely, "You're not allowed to think about those nonsense things! You're not allowed to think about them!"
"Sometimes I can't control myself." Shen Yanlang raised an eyebrow.
Upon hearing this, Duan Xu took a deep breath, then said earnestly, "Think more about your studies. Think about how we're starting a company next year, and there's still so much to learn, you know?"
"Okay." Shen Yanlang nodded with a slight smile.
So cute, I want to kiss her.
Duan Xu: "???"
The next moment, Shen Yanlang reached out and pressed the back of Duan Xu's head, lowered his head slightly, and kissed him.
Duan Xu: "..."
I can't live like this anymore!
*
Shen Yanlang and Duan Xu disappeared for a week. Before the situation was clarified, people assumed that Shen Yanlang was afraid to see anyone.
Even after the clarification, they still haven't appeared, and even Duan Xu, who appeared for half a day, has disappeared, leading to various speculations.
Some guessed that these people had initially insulted Shen Yanlang without distinguishing right from wrong, which angered them, and they simply didn't want to go to school anymore; others guessed that the pheromone incident might have caused them physical problems.
When the two reappeared on campus at the start of the new week, those who had been through it understood.
This is either their heat cycle or their most vulnerable period. A week is just the right amount of time. All that arguing about it on the forum is for these two to have some fun.
Moreover, according to Shen Yanlang and Duan Xu's classmates, they both carry each other's pheromones, which cannot be completely blocked even with barrier patches.
For a moment, the students felt like they had eaten a huge bowl of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and just seeing the two of them made them feel full.
Lately, Duan Xu and Shen Yanlang have been getting stares on the street, but thankfully, as time has passed, apart from those who like to ship them as a couple, not so many people are paying attention anymore.
On Saturday, since Shen Yanlang's birthday falls during his vulnerable period, we changed the date to dinner for the eight of them. This time we had hot pot and booked a private room.
"You weren't fully marked!" Du Shen looked at Duan Xu with surprise after hearing Shen Yanlang and the others' words.
Duan Xu coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, and took a sip of his drink. "Yan-ge, you held back."
"Awesome!" Du Shen gave a thumbs up in admiration.
Ye Xinyu gave a thumbs-up in the same way. "Cousin is awesome!"
Xue Jingshu was also impressed, and pushed up his glasses, saying, "It seems that deep enough feelings can suppress instincts."
Han Xi: "Hmm."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou didn't hesitate and praised him without hesitation, "Yan-ge is the most patient alpha I've ever met."
"That's really impressive, although I don't quite understand it," Xiao Xu said with a smile.
Both he and Zhou Zhou were betas and couldn't understand how irresistible the attraction of pheromones and the attraction between AOs was.
Shen Yanlang glanced at them, calmly placed a quail egg on Duan Xu, and simply said four words, "The timing isn't right."
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Come on, let's have a drink and wish each other a belated happy birthday," Du Shen said, raising his drink to everyone.
Seeing this, everyone picked up their drinks, clinked them together, and said in unison, "Happy Birthday!"
"Thank you." Shen Yanlang smiled and took a sip of his drink with everyone.
Afterwards, everyone chatted casually, and Shen Yanlang served Duan Xu food like a mother hen, almost feeding him.
Duan Xu had just finished a bite and was about to take a sip of his drink when he suddenly heard Shen Yanlang's voice.
[Xuxu, your lips are all red from the spiciness, like I kissed you really hard.]
Duan Xu paused in his hand as he reached for the drink, then turned and glared at Shen Yanlang, his eyes warning him not to look around.
Shen Yanlang's lips curled into a smile, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning.
[Let me kiss you.]
"No, not kissing," Duan Xu replied softly, picking up his drink and taking a sip.
[I kissed it with my eyes, then licked it, then bit it—it's so soft.]
"Pfft, cough cough..." Duan Xu spat it out, but luckily he turned around in time and didn't spray it into the pot.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhou asked, puzzled.
Duan Xu choked and coughed violently, "Cough cough..."
Shen Yanlang patted Duan Xu on the back and said with a smile, "It's nothing, you just choked."
"Oh." No one asked any more questions and continued talking.
After Duan Xu recovered, he kicked Shen Yanlang under the table and said through gritted teeth, "Shen Rascal, have you no shame!"
Fortunately, he choked and coughed badly, which explains his current bright red face.
But if he blushes for no reason, people will think he's thinking something inappropriate!
Shen Yanlang smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I wasn't teasing you anymore."
Shen Yanlang thought Duan Xu's ability to only hear his thoughts was amazing, and teasing Duan Xu from time to time was incredibly enjoyable.
Duan Xu snorted and ordered him rudely, "I want to eat shrimp, you peel them."
"Okay." Shen Yanlang replied with a smile, looking much like a servant following the young master's orders.
In the latter half, everyone was too tired to eat anymore, so the conversation turned to starting a company. This time, the focus was on assigning tasks to each individual, specifying what level they needed to reach within a year.
Since that gathering, everyone has become busy, studying and achieving their own small goals. Occasionally, they get too tired and complain in the group chat, but then they continue to work hard.
In mid-May, the Cycling Club organized another cycling event, Shen Yanlang and the other five members attended, and they took the opportunity to relax.
At the end of the month, the Student Council held its re-election, Xue Jingshu officially stepped down as president, with the position being taken over by the second-year student who was also the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Under Xue Jingshu's guidance and training, Han Xi successfully ran for Minister of Foreign Affairs. The following year, he will be eligible to run for president.
This semester passed quickly thanks to everyone's hard work. It wasn't until the final exams were over that they realized another semester was over, and they would be sophomores when school started again.
