mismatch pheromone

Chapter 79

Zhou Xi only returned to Yijing from Xiayuan on Tuesday. As soon as she returned to Chia College, she was busy rearranging courses, preparing lessons, and holding meetings... and did not leave the academic building until dark.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw a familiar figure pacing around the light pole with his head bowed.

I haven't seen her for a few days, but suddenly bumped into her so unexpectedly, Zhou Xi couldn't help but get distracted, and stopped behind the glass door in a daze.

Yu Jinghai didn't know how long he waited, probably because he was tired from walking around, so he squatted under the lamp, stood up straight again after a while, and turned his head to look at the door.

The eyes of the two suddenly met, Zhou Xibi couldn't avoid it, and watched Yu Jinghai with a candid smile on his face.

Zhou Xi cast her gaze away, as if anxiously looking for a support point, she hung on Yu Jinghai's lap.

Yu Jinghai then approached him.

The closer the other party was, the more confused his mood became.

In a moment of confusion, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring straight at Yu Jinghai's smooth-moving left leg.

Only then did he realize that his leg...was actually able to walk well.

Yu Jinghai had already arrived in front of him, and coughed twice, "Coincidental, coincidence, I met here, I'm on night shift tonight, on patrol."

Zhou Xi remained silent, not revealing the reason, nor raising her eyes, but still looking at the left leg.

"Oh yes, yes," Yu Jinghai reached out and grabbed a handful of pants, and then said, "My legs are all healed, and it's very convenient to work now."

Zhou Xi hummed vaguely, and slowly pulled away the smile that had been brewing for a long time.

"That's good. I won't disturb your work, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he wanted to bypass the person in front of him.

"Ah Xi." Yu Jinghai hurriedly called to stop him.

Zhou Xi's footsteps that hadn't moved out were hanging on the floor, "What's the matter?"

"You...well, isn't it your birthday tomorrow?" Yu Jinghai's tone became extra cautious, "Last time I celebrated my birthday...it was yours, your birthday, do you have any plans? Or— —”

"Get together with your family." Zhou Xi replied calmly.

Yu Jinghai's face froze for a moment, and he muttered an inaudible voice, "Okay, that's right, birthdays should be spent with family members, and it's right to spend time with them..."

Zhou Xi frowned, and the small tear mole at the corner of her eye seemed to wrinkle severely.

"Any thing else?"

"Yes, yes." Yu Jinghai twisted his voice trembling hastily, "That birthday, your birthday, why don't I make it up for you the next day... You see, you have done it for me, then I, that What, it's called, it's a courtesy, isn't it?"

"No need." Zhou Xi's eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the look in his eyes, "Who has two birthdays."

Zhou Xi didn't stay any longer this time, and there were no unforgiving voices from behind him.

Yu Jinghai looked at the distant figure, followed under the lamp, stopped, and felt a chill in his heart.

……

On his birthday, Teacher Zhou was almost full of classes, and he was so busy until evening that he drove away from school.

In fact, Zhou Xi's family didn't arrange any formal birthday party, and his parents were still abroad for archaeological exchanges, but his sister Zhou Yue brought his son's music to him and organized a meal for him.

At the dinner table, Zhou Yue asked casually: "Zi Xian said that you recently met a new partner, how do you feel this time?"

The Zhou family's family style has always been rigorous and upright. His sister Zhou Yue is much older than him. With such an age, she is used to holding the posture of an elder and routinely inquiring about the progress of her brother's relationship.

Zhou Xi glanced at Qu Zixian, who twisted his neck and buried himself in the spoon to dig for dessert.

"Let's see." Zhou Xi didn't say anything more.

Qu Zixian was reprimanded by Zhou Xi, and even if he accidentally leaked words to his mother, he didn't dare to continue talking without his uncle's consent.

Afterwards, his mother asked his uncle's new partner what he did for a job, but he always said that he didn't know.

Zhou Yue doesn't gossip like her son. Although she sometimes organizes some blind dates for her younger brother, she really doesn't interfere too much into her younger brother's private affairs.

It's another thing to think about it in your heart. Anyway, I heard from my son that the relationship hasn't started for long, and my younger brother is a slow person. If I really make up my mind, tonight's birthday party can definitely bring someone.

Since no one was brought along, it proved that the relationship between the two parties was still unstable.

After the meal, Qu Zixian brought the cake to the table, and sang birthday songs to uncle with his mother to celebrate.

Zhou Xi looked at the cake and listened to the birthday song, but another scene appeared in her mind.

For that person's birthday, he gave him a small whale cake, and that person fed him the cake, saying that he remembered to eat on time, so that he would not be hungry...

He kissed that person on the wall outside the box and in front of other guests in the box, kissing in his favorite piano piece, and kissed the whole piece.

In 25 years, he only did those things to that one person.

That man... looks like a big whale.

Simple-minded, always docile, occasionally fierce, always going forward bravely.

He is obviously very good at guessing, but he will repeatedly do unexpected behaviors.

The singing in the box gradually died down, Zhou Xi closed her eyes and made a wish under the urging of her little nephew, blew out the candles, and shared the cake.

Even if the birthday is over.

The hotel is surrounded by a commercial street, Zhou Yue loves to buy, buy, buy, and buys, and takes her son and younger brother to accompany her. Of course, the bags are all carried by her son Qu Zixian.

Women's shopping is completely different from men's, and they have to try shop after shop immersively.

At the beginning, Qu Zixian was chatting with Zhou Xi in the store, then Zhou Xi went to the nearby smoking area to smoke.

Qu Zixian couldn't sit still, and followed him out. He also smoked, but his mother cared about his addiction to cigarettes, and in front of his uncle, an elder, he would never let go and smoke more than his uncle.

In the end, after one round of smoking, he found that even if he wanted to catch up, he couldn't keep up with the amount and speed of his uncle's smoking at the moment.

When the tenth cigarette was lit by the lighter, Qu Zixian finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you? You were absent-minded just now, and now you still smoke so much? Mom said you quit smoking before, but your addiction doesn't look like you have quit..."

Zhou Xi dusted off the cigarette ash, "You don't have a long memory, do you?"

Qu Zixian hurriedly raised his hand as a sign of surrender, "I don't care if I turn off the mic. Then can I smoke a few more? My mother just went in to try on clothes, and I have to wait for a long time."

Zhou Xi raised the corners of her mouth gently, "You try?"

Qu Zixian is not stupid, he has been with his uncle for so many years, how can he not understand this kind of "gentle strangulation"?

There was no way to smoke more, so he could only divert his attention and look around.

Looking at it, he actually saw an acquaintance in a jewelry store opposite.

"Hey, uncle, isn't that Uncle Yu?"

Qu Zixian stretched out his hand, and Zhou Xi glanced at it from the corner of his eyes.

The person standing by a certain counter in the store was indeed Yu Jinghai.

"...Yuanfu, an old brand, the things there are not cheap, and my mother also likes to shop here, just earrings and bracelets, the money is not printed fast..."

Qu Zixian babbled and guessed wildly, "Why did Uncle Yu come here... Oh, I see, did I buy you a gift for uncle? It cost me a lot of money, I'm so sincere..."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a girl in casual clothes approaching Yu Jinghai, whispering in her ear, and the two clearly knew each other.

The distance wasn't too far, Zhou Xi took a closer look and recognized the girl as Lin Ling, who was seen at the ramen restaurant that Yu Jinghai took him to last time.

Zhou Xi frowned imperceptibly.

At this moment, the clerk handed Yu Jinghai and Lin Ling a bag.

Lin Ling took the bag first, and quickly took out the small box inside, opened the lid, reached in front of Yu Jinghai, and said something cheerfully.

The bag fit right next to the small box, hiding the contents of the box.

Qu Zixian on the side stretched his neck and couldn't see clearly, he was still looking at the scene and talking.

"...What did you buy? I can't see it, but the things in this store are quite expensive...I bought it for that girl? What's the situation?"

He guessed blindly, but couldn't see what was in the jewelry box, and then he saw Yu Jinghai walking very smoothly on both legs.

"Huh? Is Uncle Yu's leg healed? I think he can walk very well, better than before..."

Qu Zixian talked to himself for a long time, but he didn't hear his uncle next to him pick up his words, so he couldn't help but turn around and call his uncle for clarification.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

But Zhou Xi lit another cigarette, looked away, and replied softly, "I don't know."

The song presented Gossip Radar to support it, and his uncle's attitude made him intuitively wrong.

"That's your partner, can you not understand? No way... You don't care if Uncle Yu's legs are healed and he goes to pick up girls?"

"Don't worry about it." Zhou Xiping put down the warning in a low voice.

The little nephew knew a lot about his uncle's past love history, and he was able to quickly grasp the corresponding meaning of his uncle's behavior at the moment, and immediately asked in surprise, "Uncle, are you separated?"

Zhou Xi's silence meant that he was right.

"How long has it been since we broke up again... Uncle, did he bully you?"

Qu Zixian asked, he remembered the first time he saw Yu Jinghai, Zhou Xi's body was covered with Yu Jinghai's pheromone, the smell was very offensive, which fully demonstrated how powerful Yu Jinghai's pheromone was.

Like this kind of Alpha, nine out of ten are muddy. Although Yu Jinghai is honest and honest, he and Zhou Xi were in the situation of being a partner.

Everyone is an adult, lying on the bed, the pheromones are colliding with each other, and the Alpha who can hold back is hard to find with a lantern.

Otherwise, Zhou Xi had talked with people in the past, and for the sake of safety, he could not give priority to the Beta, followed by the Alpha who he has known for a long time and knows the basics.

Including the unreliable prince Chen Qi, who was also supported by the relationship between the two families.

So far, only Yu Jinghai is not within the scope of knowing the root and the bottom.

That's why Qu Zixian guessed on the bad side.

Zhou Xi's expression was slightly cold, squinting at his nephew who was talking more and more.

Qu Zixian was afraid that he would get angry, so he hurriedly and consciously stopped.

"Don't do inappropriate things again, or you will really turn your face."

Zhou Xi's second warning made Qu Zixian have to recall the last Shura field, his back trembled, and he raised his palm to promise to be obedient.

Zhou Xi lit another cigarette, and the scattered smoke spread over his face.

Qu Zixian looked at it silently, always feeling that his uncle's face was whitened by the mist and sad.

"It's okay to divide, the old one doesn't go and the new one doesn't come, all roads lead to Rome..." Qu Zixian muttered to comfort his uncle, and finally lowered his voice, "It's not suitable at all, it's good to divide it .”

Zhou Xi closed her eyelids slightly, and twisted the butt of the cigarette tightly with her slender fingertips.

He heard what his nephew said was inappropriate, but he couldn't refute it.

What the nephew, who is always rambling, said unexpectedly made sense this time.

He admitted that he was inappropriate with Yu Jinghai, and the reason for this incompatibility had nothing to do with whether Yu Jinghai treated him well, whether he was considerate enough, or whether their relationship was deep or shallow.

It's just that in their relationship, the risks that will exist in the future have already appeared vaguely visible signs.

Reason told him that before the relationship is not too deep, it is time to stop the loss in time, and it is the right decision to separate and calm down.

However, emotionally...he still needs to admit that the period of meditation he set for himself was ineffective, and it proved everywhere that emotion and reason were inseparable.

He couldn't let it go completely, he couldn't pull away as cleanly as he had done in the past when he ended every relationship.

The new smoke was about to burn out, and Zhou Xi, who was a little absent-minded, was so burned that he let go of his hand, and the soot fell to the ground in a mess.

Suddenly, the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.

Zhou Xi picked up the phone, turned around and walked away, taking her little nephew back to the women's clothing store.
