Yan Qiu and Ji Xinglan had applied for nearly a weekâs worth of leave, and no matter how anyone looked at it, it was strange.
While they were on their way to school, Yan Qiu felt uneasy, so he quietly logged into the school forum to take a look. Just as he expected, this matter had already spread like wildfire.
[I heard that Ji Xinglan and that omega have not come to class for a week.]
[Seriously? Did they really apply for leave together?
[Who knows? *Shrugs*]
[Tsk! Who says that theyâre definitely together just because they took leave together! Ji Xinglan might have other things to do!]
[Just what is going on? The more I dig into this matter, the more chaotic I find it. Didnât they say that Ji Xinglan was with Lin Wei, and Xie Yu was with that omega?]
[Looks like the situation is very severe. Say, they didnât come after taking a weekâs worth of leave. Donât you think that the greatest possibility isâŚ?]
[Estrus period?!]
[Yup.]
[Damn it, no way! Have they slept together?]
[What the heck?! Have they already reached that stage? Could it be that I really donât have a chance anymore? Oh God, I just canât accept it!]
[AAAAAAHHHHH!!! NO! Lan Lan is still a child, I wonât accept it!]
[Enough with the clamoring. Donât you always say that your school idol is 18cm down there? Why donât you go and interview that omega, then youâll know.]
[Iâm so jealous. There is no one here who doesnât want to sleep with a handsome guy.]
[But itâs only normal for someone to use suppressants when your estrus period arrives, right? Itâs impossible for them to go through the estrus period together, unless that omega wants to give birth to Ji Xinglanâs baby. Thatâs impossible, hahaha!]
[Thatâs right. Do you actually suspect that Lan Lan canât buy suppressants? HAHAHAHAHA!]
[I know, right? Think about Ji Xinglanâs status and what status he has. How could Ji Xinglan let this omega who popped out of nowhere give birth to Field Marshal Jiâs grandchild? If he really wants to get married, he should at least marry a daughter from a big family, like Lin Wei.]
[Blergh. If you want to throw dirt on someone while praising another, you shouldnât be praising Lin Wei, right? Lin Wei is a bitch, sheâs nothing at all like a daughter from a big family!]
[Alright, stop fighting. I believe that military school students are all very chaste. Ji Xinglan doesnât have anyone by his side, and you havenât heard of any gossip about him before, right? He canât even be bothered to glance at sexy beauties with gorgeous curves. Thereâs no way heâll fall for a pretty face like that omega.]
[Thatâs right. Ji Xinglan has abstained from sexual desires for nineteen years. He definitely wonât mind keeping himself chaste for another year for the psychological health of the students!]
Yan Qiu said nothing when the people spoke ill of him, but when he saw this, he just could not stop cussing in his heart.
âJi Xinglan? Chaste?!
âThereâs no way this bastard is chaste! Itâs better to say that he indulges in his sexual desires too much!

Chaste military student?! There was no one else worse than Ji Xinglan in the world.
Yan Qiu mourned for the part of his body that still hurt and pursed his cheeks angrily while he glared at a certain person through the rearview mirror.
Ji Xinglan did not notice it. He even caressed his hand when the traffic light turned red.
That morning, Yan Qiu snuck into the classroom through the backdoor.
Even though they had taken leave on the same day, returned to school on the same day, and could no longer get rid of the suspicion that they were together, Yan Qiu still insisted on walking separately so that he could pretend that he was not together with Ji Xinglan.
Yan Qiu did not dare walk together with Ji Xinglan. If he were captured together with him again, the forums might end up saying that they were already together for three years and had two illegitimate children together.
But when he entered through the door, Yan Qiu moved too quickly, so he accidentally knocked against the table and chair.
The table and chair let out a piercing screech when they scratched against the floor, and the sound made it sound like the people had someone scratch their eardrums. The sound of the metal legs scratching against the floor also echoed in the classroom.
Dumbfounded, Yan Qiu picked up the chair. Practically all the students at the front row turned their heads around to stare at him.
He quickly sat down with red ears. He flipped open the top of the table to pretend that he was organizing his stuff and blocked the dozens of gazes that were fixed on him.
Most of the people looked away after casting him a glance, but alphas and omegas were extremely sensitive to scents. Some people were still staring at him, and among them was Bai Yuanyuan, who looked shocked, and Xie Yu, who looked sad.
Yan Qiu had clearly walked in alone, but they smelled two peopleâs scents.
But even if they smelled a second scent on him, they did not see the owner of that scent.
The others might not understand why this happened, but Xie Yu did, and he looked really sad.
âDamn it, what that bastard Ji Xinglan said is real!â
Yan Qiuâs body was covered in the smell of Ji Xinglanâs pheromones. Looks like Ji Xinglan had really done the deed with his boss during his estrus period!
Based on Yan Qiuâs slightly red eyes, he must have cried during that time. Ji Xinglan was truly a wolf in sheepâs clothing! A monster in the disguise of a human!
Xie Yuâs fists made cracking sounds under the table as he wanted to castrate Ji Xinglan.
A few minutes later, Ji Xinglan walked in through the backdoor as well with his bag. But due to his presence, no one dared to stare at him. They turned their heads around and sat properly.
Among them, Xie Yu gritted his teeth and flipped him the bird fiercely before he turned around angrily.
âForget it, for the sake of the bossâ happiness, I canât castrate him just yet.â
Yan Qiu saw Ji Xinglan sit down through the corner of his eyes. He pursed his lips and caressed the ring he wore on his finger.
They wore rings on their left wedding fingers. If anyone noticed it, then there was just no need for them to explain anything, if they did, the only answer would be that they were married.
But this was the first Ji Xinglan gave him. Ji Xinglan would not remove it, and Yan Qiu did not intend to remove it either.
âForget it, let it be.
âIf they know, itâs nothing big either. Us being in a relationship is our business.â
Yan Qiu knew that he had Ji Xinglanâs scent on him, so he opened the window for ventilation.
Betas could not smell pheromones, but alphas and omegas always could not help but size him up when they passed him by.
Yan Qiu felt speechless.
Before Ji Xinglan showed up and during Yan Qiuâs prime of popularity, he never had so many people turning their heads to look at him.
After both of them returned from their absences and came back on the same day, the rumors about them taking leave, which had died for a while, instantly stirred up again. Everyone acted so excited it was as if they were high on sugar.
[I told you that they applied for leave together! They even came back together!]
[What the heck? Are they really together?]
[Havenât you heard about that thing?]
[Which thing?]
[Someone said that theyâve been engaged to each other since young.]
[Engaged to each other since young?]
[I knew it! Ji Xinglan definitely didnât do it willingly! AAAAAHHH!]
[Iâll break the restraints of feudalism with Lan Lan and search for true love with him!]
[I see, so thatâs the case. I was wondering why my school idol would fancy that omega. Heâs not as pretty as I am, and he canât sway his hips like I can. Hehe~]
[Hey, that sissy upstairs, stop being so horny, will you?]
The cold wind blew in through the window, and Yan Qiu shuddered.
The wind was starting to blow.
Even though the sky was full of clouds, Yan Qiu could still see light through the white clouds.
There were no signs of imminent rain. The headmaster continued with his usual lecture between lessons despite the strong wind.
Yan Qiu stood beside Ji Xinglan. Both of them hid at the end of the crowd and did not pay attention to the lecture. They could watch the headmasterâs hair turning into a mess because of the wind as he stood on the podium and could also hide from the people sizing them up.
Ji Xinglan pulled up the hood on his jacket and stood at the upwind to block the wind for Yan Qiu.
Both of them stood at the end of the crowd. When the students on duty went to the front row to check the students, Ji Xinglan discreetly toyed with Yan Qiuâs hand.
âI bought some presents for you,â Ji Xinglan whispered to Yan Qiu.
âPresent? What present?â Yan Qiu asked curiously.
Yan Qiu quite liked looking forward to receiving presents, and Ji Xinglan was acting mysteriously, so it instantly piqued his curiosity.
But there was a cunning look on Ji Xinglanâs face, and it caused Yan Qiu to feel that something was off.
At this moment, Ji Xinglan started acting mysteriously and said, âItâs just a small toy. Youâll know by then.â
Yan Qiu pursed his lips then cast him an innocent look.
âWhat the heck? If itâs just a toy, is there a need for him to pretend to be so mysterious?â
The wind swept up the leaves on the ground as it suddenly strengthened, but the headmaster continued with his speech.
The script in his hands flapped loudly from the wind and the powerful gust blew his hair into flying all over the place. But even in the face of such a strong wind, the headmaster persevered and refused to let the students go back.
The thousands of students watched the wind blow. Suddenly, it blew off the headmasterâs wig as he stood on the podium giving his speech. The wig flew more than ten meters away, revealing a shiny, bald head.
âHAHAHAHAHA!â
âHAHAHAHAââ
The studentsâ boisterous laughter merged into a cacophony. Mr. Yang quickly retrieved the wig up and helped the headmaster don the wig respectfully.
Yan Qiu also laughed until he started crying in the wind. The wind poured into his lungs and he coughed viciously.
Feeling resigned, Ji Xinglan patted his back. He knew that Yan Qiu was currently frail and had a weak immune system. He was worried that he would catch a cold, so he removed his coat and helped him wear it.
Even though everyoneâs attention had been diverted by the principal just now, Yan Qiu felt that their attention once again gathered on them, their gazes sharp as a blade.
On his shoulders were Ji Xinglanâs coat and he watched as Ji Xinglan buttoned up the coat for him seriously.
âYou donât have to go to this length. Wear it yourself.â While Yan Qiu said this, he still obediently let Ji Xinglan put the coat around him.
That was what the other couples did, anyway, and Yan Qiu wanted Ji Xinglanâs coat as well. However, once Ji Xinglan removed his coat, he only wore a dress shirt. Yan Qiu was worried that he would be cold, so he wanted to return the coat to him.
It was enough for him to enjoy it by wearing the coat for a while and he could not let Lan Lan catch a cold.
âLan Lan, wear the coat yourself,â Yan Qiu mumbled, but right after he finished speaking, he sensed Ji Xinglanâs hands pause for a moment while buttoning up the coat.
âYouâre calling to me very warmly today.â Ji Xinglan suddenly pushed down on his hand and said with a smile.
Yan Qiu looked up and saw Ji Xinglanâs slightly teasing gaze.
âAh.â He thought. âHow embarrassing.â
Only Mrs. Ji referred to Ji Xinglan as such. When the fans who treated Ji Xinglan as their son referred to Ji Xinglan as Lan Lan on the forum, he was influenced by them.
It was nothing if he thought about Ji Xinglan as such in his heart, how could he call him in that manner in his face?
Yan Qiu instinctively wanted to apologize, but Ji Xinglan pressed his forehead against his and calmly buttoned up the coat to the top.
At an angle no one could see, Ji Xinglan kissed the side of Yan Qiuâs cheek and whispered, âYou donât have to apologize. Just call me that way, I like it.â
