I Like Your Pheromones Ch. 14: Dimples
In the afternoon, Duan Jiayan entered Class Ten’s classroom.
The exam starts at 3:00 pm, but students still have a bit of time until they have to enter their exam rooms.
Duan Jiayan’s heroic feat in the morning has already been spread throughout the entire cohort. When he entered the classroom, the classmates couldn’t help glancing at him a few extra times.
A bag of chips sat atop Duan Jiayan’s desk, and the jacket he had lent to Jiang Qinian hung on his chair.
Knowing that Jiang Qinian had visited, Duan Jiayan smiled, pulled out his chair, and sat down.
The afternoon exam was Mathematics.
Last night when Lu Xingci outlined the important concepts seemed to really serve its purpose, Duan Jiayan felt like he saw those concepts mentioned in many questions. Even though he couldn’t wrap his head around how to solve a lot of the questions, at least it was better than when he went to sleep after guessing all the questions in the previous exams.
Duan Jiayan tasted sweet victory. Tomorrow’s exam will be on comprehensive natural science. He was going to ask Lu Xingci to go over the important points, but Lu Xingci had directly given his teaching materials to him.
“Flip through and take a look at the underlined portions and annotations.”
Duan Jiayan thought that he was also going to review since comprehensive natural science is a hard subject, so he decided not to bother him.
For most of the Evening Self Study, Duan Jiayan studied. He could pretty much understand most of the information, but he could not wrap his head around the problems. His brain was almost breaking, yet he didn’t expect that once class ended, he turned his head to see-
Lu Xingci was playing “Fight the Landlord” with Chen Yue with their phones.
“Class president,” Duan Jiayan shouted at him: “After you finish the game, can you help save this classmate who’s an aquatic life stuck in a fiery hell?”
Lu Xingci didn’t even raise his head: “Always relying on others isn’t beneficial for your growth.”
“
” Duan Jiayan: “You weren’t like this yesterday.”
“That’s why I’ve changed today.”
“
” Duan Jiayan saw that he’s still unhurriedly sorting his cards, seeming like he isn’t going to help him. Duan Jiayan looked over at Chen Yue: “Who are you guys battling? Someone else also in this class?
Chen Yue: “We play passers-by in each game.”
Duan Jiayan pulled out his mobile phone: “Add me. I also want to play.”
The result is: Chen Yue added Duan Jiayan in.
There is a function in the mobile “Fight the Landlord” game where players can throw items at another player. As soon as Duan Jiayan entered, he threw tomatoes at Lu Xingci’s character, threw eggs after throwing tomatoes, and finally watered them.
From start to end, Lu Xingci’s character’s whole face has not been fully exposed once.
Chen Yue: “
”
Chen Yue can feel Duan Jiayan’s resentment through the phone screen. After that round, Duan Jiayan fell from a part-time worker to a contract worker, and Lu Xingci became a small, rich man.
Seeing that Lu Xingci exited the round, Chen Yue asked: “You’re not playing anymore?”
“If I play again, I’ll be killed by tomatoes.” Lu Xingci had a blank face. He looked at Duan Jiayan: “Contract worker, let’s go study.”
Duan Jiayan saw that he flipped open the teaching materials and looked ready to give him one-on-one counseling.
“Pay attention to your words,” Duan Jiayan was glad to see that he was willing to help at last: “although I am a contract worker, my contract of sale is not with you, so you can’t call me a contractor directly.”
“Then what should I call you?” The corner of Lu Xingci’s mouth lifted, showing a taunting look: “the richest tomato lord?”
“
”
With the help of Lu Xingci, Duan Jiayan escaped lowering his score. That night, he felt quite fruitful and full of confidence in the next day’s exam.
At the end of the three-day monthly examination, the students moved their seats back to their original positions, and Duan Jiayan and Song Yi got back together smoothly.
To celebrate the end of the monthly exam, Song Yi planned to escape the evening self-study and go browsing online with some boys from Class Three. Duan Jiayan also went with him.
But he left his cell phone in the classroom and had to take a trip back after dinner.
Taking a shortcut, Duan Jiayan walked through the moral education department’s corridor to the classroom of Class Ten. When he almost reached the classroom door, he saw two people standing in the corridor corner, talking.
It was desolate here. Usually, no one comes over here except the staff of the school board. Now that those people are off work, only the corridor lights are on, so the hallway was a little dark.
Duan Jiayan had good eyesight, so he quickly saw who the two were.
Lu Xingci’s tall and straight back faced him. He had a fit figure. Jiang Qinian was hidden behind him, but her long, light chestnut hair was so eye-catching.
Duan Jiayan was stunned. He was just about to walk over while pretending that he saw nothing when Jiang Qinian’s next sentence made him stop.
“I’ve loved you for four years.” When she spoke, her voice sounded a little sad: “from the second year of junior high school to the second year of senior high school. I didn’t expect that it would last this long.”
She and Lu Xingci were classmates in Junior High School of No.1 middle school.
In junior high school, Lu Xingci was someone who attracted a lot of attention. She was young at that time, and many people were chasing her. She thought that Lu Xingci was just more dazzling than everyone else.
If she treats him better, will he like her too?
“When I was in junior high school, you refused me once. At that time, I asked you why, and you said you didn’t know what type of person you like. If that person hasn’t arrived yet
 Can you give me a chance? “
She seldom said so much in front of him.
No matter, there was no suitable time to ask after high school started. Not only that, because Duan Jiayan helped her in this month’s examination, rumors about her and Duan Jiayan were fervently spread throughout the entire cohort.
She always felt that the distance between herself and Lu Xingci was becoming larger. If she didn’t confess to him, she might never have a chance again.
Lu Xingci listened to her finish and his eyelids drooped, avoiding Jiang Qinian’s expectant sight.
He whispered an apology.
The light in Jiang Qinian’s eyes faded. Duan Jiayan saw her smile and say something quietly. Then she went straight down the stairs.
The “click-clack” sounds of the hells of the girl’s shoes striking the ground echoed through the silent corridor. When she walked far, Lu Xingci suddenly turned around.
Duan Jiayan was caught off guard and met his eyes.
Duan Jiayan was a little embarrassed when he was caught in this way. However, thinking that he still had Lu Xingci’s Mark, Duan Jiayan felt that Lu Xingci might have known he was eavesdropping from the beginning.
“You turned her down twice.” Duan Jiayan looked at Lu Xingci with a questioning look. He didn’t know whether he should be jealous of or admiring him: “you actually refuse her twice.”
Lu Xingci agreed faintly: “Because I didn’t like her.”
If he heard him say this was in the past, Duan Jiayan might have thought that this man was so inflated that he owed a beating up.
But he just saw Lu Xingci’s refusal of Jiang’s Qinian. It was really neat, heartless, and not enough to leave people with reverie.
It’s clean, and Duan Jiayan appreciated it.
“What type do you like?” Duan Jiayan said, “I’ll help you keep tabs.”
Lu Xingci repeated: “You’ll help me keep tabs?”
“I know a lot of people. Do you like Omegas or Betas? Do you have a requirement for males or females?” Seeing that he did not react to the conditions he mentioned, Duan Jiayan suddenly had a flash of enlightenment: “Can it be that you want to do a–“
AA Relationship?
Maybe Lu Xingci likes an exciting relationship. It’s more exciting to do an Alpha.
The more he thought about it, the more it felt plausible. He murmured to himself, “I’ll ask if there are any Alphas with this tendency.”
Lu Xingci was still giving him a blank look, so Duan Jiayan thought he had no idea. He said, “although you have a special sexual orientation. With your qualifications, if you want to find someone you like
” it shouldn’t be difficult.
Before he could even finish his last sentence, Lu Xingci interrupted him: “It’s too much trouble. I like learning.”
“
”
So your sexual orientation really is special.
Before entering the classroom, Duan Jiayan looked in from the window and unexpectedly found Zhao Minjun was watching the evening self-study from the platform.
Usually, after the monthly examination, teachers would be marking the papers all night in their offices. Duan Jiayan looked again and found that several seats were empty in the back rows of the classroom.
Duan Jiayan hesitated.
There were already ten people who skipped. If he cut classes in front of Zhao Minjun again, there’s a chance that the latter would be furious and call his mother.
The exam results have not come out yet. In case he does a bit worse

Duan Jiayan thought about it and decided not to take this risk. He called out to Lu Xingci who was walking away with a quiet voice: “Class President, give me a hand.”
Lu Xingci looked back at him.
“Can you go back to the classroom, pretend to go to the bathroom, and bring my cell phone out for me?”
“You want to skip classes again?”
“It’s a strategy to relax after the monthly exam to be better prepared to face studying tomorrow.” Duan Jiayan motioned to Zhao Minjun on the platform: “Teacher Zhao is here. It’s not convenient for me to go in.”
“You should go in and tell her it’s to relax after the monthly exam.” Lu Xingci said: “She will definitely understand your hard work for the sake of learning.”
Duan Jiayan said bluntly: “Will you help?”
Lu Xingci was even more direct: “Go by yourself.”
Duan Jiayan narrowed his eyes. His emotion was muffled in his amber pupils. In this on-edge environment, he made eye contact with Lu Xingci for more than ten seconds.
The atmosphere was tense.
Duan Jiayan suddenly stepped forward.
Lu Xingci raised his eyebrows.
Duan Jiayan grabbed Lu Xingci’s uniform and shook it.
“Can you help me grab my phone?”
“
”
He said: “Please.”
“
”
For a moment, Lu Xingci’s line of thought froze.
His tongue traced over his teeth and his eyes darkened. He didn’t expect Duan Jiayan to be like this. When a person who is so fierce at ordinary times shows a little weakness, it is so

so

impactful.
An Alpha’s mood is like a needle, filled with the scent of danger. Duan Jiayan felt the aggressive desire from him, who was staring with almost wanton eyes. Duan Jiayan was frightened.
Thinking that he is still unwilling to help, Duan Jiayan became impatient. He had already said this much.
“If you won’t help, it’s fine.” Duan Jiayan let go and left for the classroom.
Lu Xingci pressed on his shoulder from behind.
Somehow, his voice was a little hoarse.
“Wait.”
Duan Jiayan got the answer he wanted, turned around, and gave him a satisfied smile.
Lu Xingci found that when he was smiling, tiny dimples appeared.
“Quickly, then.” Duan Jiayan patted the hand on his shoulder: “Song Yi is downstairs and he doesn’t like waiting for others. He will make a lot of noise if it’s been a long time.”
Lu Xingci pulled his hand back.
His gaze swept over the back of his hand and stopped for a moment on Duan Jiayan’s face. With an unclear meaning, he said:
“I’m quite angry.”
It was also unclear who this sentence was directed towards.
