mismatch pheromone

Chapter 31

Usually in the rumors, those who are not clear and unclear will spread for a longer time, and people like gossip, speculation, and the ambiguity of chasing after the wind.

With the previous lesson, Shi Yansheng was afraid that his honest brother would be used as a fool again, so he insisted on asking others to clarify.

At first he asked Qin Lu first, but Qin Lu mumbled vaguely and just said to look around again.

...What can this be called an answer?

Shi Yan turned his head and went on to ask Yu Jinghai. In order to show that he was not joking, his tone was very solemn: "Are you really dating Qin Lu?"

Yu Jinghai didn't nod or shake his head, and actually said something even more nonsensical than what Qin Lu said: "It's what you think."

Listen to this, is it true that you are talking about someone, and this matter needs to be decided by an outsider?What is this all about!

Shi Yan yelled and scolded a lot, and finally thought that Yu Jinghai was rejected by Zhou Xi and suffered a big blow, which made his mind so difficult and confused.

After the rumors that Yu Jinghai and Qin Lu were suspected of being in a relationship spread, those who had previously known that he had made a series of high-profile actions when he pursued Zhou Xi were quite critical, and there were many discussions behind his back.

"...I just said that he likes women. Look, isn't he still choosing a girl in the end?"

"I'm also drunk. The gossip in school is so ups and downs now? How did he chase Mr. Zhou when he was camping? He chased him so hard that many people saw it..."

"I didn't expect to be honest on the outside, but also a scumbag on the inside. It took a long time to change the place, and the plane is not as fast as him!"

"That's right. At that time, we were all moved when we saw how attentive he was to Chasing Teacher Zhou. Teacher Zhou's attitude towards him has always been very good. Maybe we were also moved..."

"Moving is not love, right? Who made him and Mr. Zhou so far apart? Probably because he knew he couldn't afford Mr. Zhou, so he settled for the next best thing, and found someone with similar conditions to himself!"

"But I heard that he had a blind date with that girl before. The two failed. It is said that the girl didn't like him. Although the leg was lame because of doing good things, normal people must have concerns. Hey, Anyway, good horses don't turn their heads..."

These discussions spread in private, and the momentum was not small, even Li Sheng, a student, could hear it.

During the daily sparring practice again, Li Sheng couldn't hold back and asked Yu Jinghai about it.

He is different from others. When the rumors about Yu Jinghai and Zhou Xi were still spreading, almost everyone was not optimistic about this strange pairing.

But he felt that it was appropriate, and he naturally had an intuition that these two people would end up together.

Perhaps it was because Yu Jinghai agreed to practice with him at the beginning, thanks to the teacher Zhou who taught him Chinese.

Maybe it's because Mr. Zhou often told him behind his back not to be too presumptuous after knowing his agreement with Yu Jinghai, and to pay more attention not to let his master's left leg get hurt in the process of training.

Li Sheng didn't have so many twists and turns, he just wanted to know if his arrogant master had really drawn a clear line with Mr. Zhou.

He hadn't seen these two people together for almost half a month.

Even sometimes when Yu Jinghai happened to pass by their classroom, Zhou Xi was standing on the podium, but Yu Jinghai just nodded to him outside the window, without even looking in the direction of the podium.

You must know that in the past, whenever his master passed by, he would stop for a while, and the first thing he looked at was Mr. Zhou.

In fact, what Li Sheng is most worried about is that if the relationship between the two really breaks up, will the partner training agreement that Yu Jinghai promised him will also break up later...

When Yu Jinghai saw Li Sheng asking him about this matter, for some reason, someone who was particularly upright in the past could understand what Li Sheng was really thinking behind, and replied directly: "It doesn't matter what, it doesn't affect our agreement. .”

Li Sheng is an upright boy, so of course he will not continue to probe hypocritically.

The changes Li Sheng saw were part of the truth, while what Zhou Xi saw was another part of the truth...

After class at noon that day, Zhou Xi went back to the office to sort out the lesson plans for a while before getting up and leaving. On the way to the cafeteria, he met Xu Tianxing who also had classes in the morning.

Xu Tianxing greeted them warmly, and then the two entered the cafeteria together, and randomly chose an empty row near the corner on the first floor to sit down.

As soon as they sat down, they all saw an acquaintance at the far right of a long table diagonally opposite.

The two sat facing each other, chatting and laughing while eating, and one of them was Yu Jinghai, whom they both knew.

Zhou Xi also knew the girl opposite Yu Jinghai. She was Qin Lu, a property employee whom she had met several times.

Recently, there has been a lot of rumors about these two people in the school, mainly because Yu Jinghai, one of the protagonists, was famous in the last rumor, and even got him out of the circle.

Zhou Xi had heard about it, but now it was the first time she saw it with her own eyes.

Xu Tianxing had seen it more than once, and was not surprised at all. He said with a casual smile, "It seems that Brother Yu really fell in love with that girl. I remember that girl, who works in the property management department. She was very impressed and scolded a lot. I feel They are quite suitable, Brother Yu is relatively quiet, and that girl is very hot, just to be lively..."

Zhou Xi listened to Xu Tianxing's evaluation, and slowly pressed the chopsticks tightly with her fingertips. She didn't answer the question, and continued to eat her lunch quietly, and focused her eyes back on the dinner plate.

When lunch was almost finished, Xu Tianxing remembered what happened during the camping, and immediately said with apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, Xi, I misunderstood you and Brother Yu, I only heard later that Brother Yu likes girls. Yes, when choosing a mate on a blind date, the gender must be a girl..."

Zhou Xi showed a faint smile, just said nothing, and didn't make any more noise.

Xu Tianxing looked at his expression, but couldn't tell if his mood had changed, so he couldn't help hesitating.

When they finished their lunch and were about to walk out of the cafeteria, when they passed by Yu Jinghai's table, they heard Qin Lu's hearty laughter, Xu Tianxing turned his head and glanced again, just in time to meet Yu Jinghai's looking up.

That gaze was exactly the same as when he was at the campsite, and his aggressiveness was extremely clear, completely inconsistent with Yu Jinghai's honesty, as if it was the vigilance and resistance caused by the prey in his territory being coveted by others.

Xu Tianxing is also an Alpha, so he knows the meaning of this look very well.

He could also feel the fluctuation of Yu Jinghai's pheromone, although it was very slight, it still revealed a strong pressure.

Yu Jinghai must have deliberately controlled the degree of pheromone release, otherwise the pressure would have been more intense, and it was very likely that he would have been in a high position on the spot and suppressed him.

This is often the case in the competition between Alphas and the judgment of superiority and inferiority. Some Alphas just move their eyes to make people understand that their pheromones are not easy to mess with.

After Yu Jinghai turned his eyes away, Xu Tianxing came back to his senses with a layer of cold sweat oozing from the back of his neck.

He turned his head sideways, followed Zhou Xi's footsteps, and walked out of the cafeteria.

Zhou Xi seldom took a lunch break at noon, and usually went back to the office to take a nap. Xu Tianxing had no classes behind him, so he wanted to go back to his apartment off-campus. After walking another way, their directions were different.

Xu Tianxing gritted his teeth suddenly, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Xi, if you have no date yet and want to fall in love, would you consider dating me?"

Zhou Xi stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at him, and shook her head seriously, "I don't have this idea, and neither can we, sorry."

"So straightforward..." Xu Tianxing said dejectedly, "Don't you think about it for a few seconds? It's really frustrating. It's the first time I've been rejected in seconds."

Zhou Xi smiled, "There is a first time for everything, and it's good to experience it once in a while."

"Really don't think about it?" Xu Tianxing asked again unwillingly.

"I don't think about it." Zhou Xi still answered quickly and firmly.

"Okay..." Xu Tianxing lowered his head, but soon regained his strength, "Then we will still be friends in the future?"

Zhou Xi hummed lightly, "Friends are fine."

Xu Tianxing stared at him immediately, "Then can I ask another question as a friend?"

Zhou Xi nodded slightly, "Okay."

Xu Tianxing hurriedly asked, "Are you really not interested in Brother Yu?"

"...Why do you always stare at this question?" Zhou Xi's tone was very helpless.

"Because to be honest, I think Brother Yu treats you very well, it's so good, it's hard not to be tempted?" Xu Tianxing said with obvious temptation.

"Maybe it's because you don't know him very well," Zhou Xi smiled lightly, "but you should have heard of it. Don't you know a lot of rumors in school? He doesn't only treat anyone well, or Say, do you think he has been hard on anyone in this school?"

Xu Tianxing was left speechless by the question. According to the rumors he knew, Yu Jinghai was really a good person.

You can say that this person is straightforward, inflexible, clumsy, not funny, not humorous.

But as long as it is about character, no one will say it is bad, and no one will question that enthusiasm.

Zhou Xi said goodbye to Xu Tianxing briefly, then turned and walked towards the Academic Affairs Building.

Xu Tianxing stayed in place for a while, thinking for a long time, always felt that Zhou Xi didn't seem to have answered the question he just asked clearly...

Those new gossips didn't actually have much impact on Zhou Xi, who was no longer the person involved.

On the contrary, Qin Lu, who became one of the parties involved, was questioned by this colleague and that friend every day, and the questions were so annoying.

She didn't really like to keep things in her heart, if she hadn't made an agreement with Yu Jinghai, she would have finished talking to her sisters long ago.

In the evening, she and her colleagues who usually had a good time went to the teaching affairs building to send questionnaires to the teachers. After sending them out, on the way downstairs, the colleagues chatted with her, and they chatted about new gossip. Li pried out plain words, and even threw out the bait of introducing a handsome guy to her.

Qin Lu was moved by the words, and finally she was willing to leak a little information: "It's fake, it's all fake, I can't do it with Brother Yu, I'm just helping him, he said he asked me to pass this passage on to him, just Those that can cover him and Mr. Zhou..."

After listening to her explanation, the colleague was very surprised: "You are so righteous? This kind of story doesn't sound good, and it delays finding a partner. Why did you agree? You didn't think too much about it? Are you stupid?"

"You're so stupid," Qin Lu retorted dissatisfiedly, "It will only be spread for a month or two at most. Didn't Brother Yu give me that spot last time? I'll pay it back."

"Besides, Brother Yu is a nice guy. He also promised that we can call him if we need anything in the future, and he will come to help as soon as possible..."

"Also, not to mention anything else, Brother Yu and Teacher Zhou have a really good relationship. I didn't just help one person by doing this. Those gossips passed around before are not good for Teacher Zhou... ..."

"Otherwise, Brother Yu wouldn't come to me for help in acting, or use this stupid way, just because it's urgent... In the future, Teacher Zhou will know about it, and he will definitely credit me. I will earn two for every profit I make." A favor, do you think I am stupid or smart?"

Having said that, they were about to turn to the next flight of stairs, but they saw two figures walking out of the corridors on both sides of the stairs.

On the left is Zhou Xi, and on the right is Yu Jinghai.

Coincidentally, they all collided...

Qin Lu and her colleagues were full of embarrassment, and they didn't dare to look at the two men standing at the two ends. They pinched each other's arms, and they turned around in unison in a tacit understanding, and they were about to go back to the upper stairs.

Yu Jinghai also turned back, preparing to return the same way.

"——stop." Zhou Xi's calm voice sounded at the stairs.
