Chapter 40 – He Longs for Bai Huai’s Pheromones

The monthly test seats for Class 1 to Class 5 are arranged at random.

While Bai Huai stayed in Class One, Jian Songyi was assigned to Class Five.

The drawer should be empty during the examination and students could not bring any electronic products with them. Their mobile phones should be put into their school bags, which are placed in the tin cabinet at the back of every classroom.

And so, they took all their stationery bag and went to their respective examination classrooms.

Jian Songyi made his way to Class Five and found the position according to the admission card number, which was the last row of the second group. 

Jian Songyi arrived late and when he arrived, he noticed the man in the front row near him whispering something in a hurry. 

He seemed familiar to him, but Jian Songyi dislikes remembering people’s names. If ever, the man seems to be a student he played basketball with several times already. up to now, he always thought that Huang Fuyi was really Huang Fu Tieniu, let alone this kind of passers-by who had no sense of existence.

Nonetheless, he was too lazy to speak to him that Jian Songyi only mind his own business. He yawned a little before laying down on the table to catch on some sleep. He was happy until the papers were handed out to them.

This time the poetry appreciation and reading comprehension are out of the ordinary. Due to Bai Huai’s good set of templates, especially the poetry appreciation. It is the first time he made such great fluency as if he is answering mathematics, physics, and chemistry for the first time. 

As long as the Chinese Subject is won, then the great Jian Songyi will return to the top.

Jian Songyi was relaxed and cheerful that when he answered the math questions in the afternoon, he managed to make good sense of everything. 

Except for the idiot student on the front row who always makes some noises from time to time and often dropped his things on the floor to touch his seatmates’ desks, the overall examination experience is good. 

Under normal circumstances, when Jian Songyi felt that he had done very well on the exam, he would open a screen in front of Bai Huai and talk about Bai Huai’s state of mind. But this time, he didn’t know why, but when he arrived at his room proper, he felt a little lethargic.

Jian Songyi felt sluggish that he doesn’t even want to utter a single word to anyone. 

During their evening self-study, Jian Songyi slept for two hours, but even after that, he still felt sleepy and weak. In fact, he was so tired that he didn’t say a word to Bai Huai.

So, Bai Huai went ahead to reach for Jian Songyi’s forehead.

His temperature is normal. 

“Did you do badly on the test?” Bai Huai asked.

Jian Songyi gave him a deadpanned expression after turning his gaze at him. “You’re the one who got it bad. Have you seen the wings on my back? That’s the symbol that I did really well on it.” 

Bai Huai nodded solemnly. “I see two short and chubby wings, but they look wilting to me. It seems like it’s giving off an impression of a plane crashing instead.”

“Whatever. I am sleepy…” Jian Songyi murmured before letting out a soft yawn. “Did you put poison in the milk you gave me yesterday? I feel a little bit uncomfortable right now as well. You can’t compete by pulling out such a malicious way.”

Bai Huai thought about what Jian Songyi had said and made a few assumptions through the given evidence. But even when he had managed to get a conclusion, he didn’t mention it as Bai Huai felt that the timing is not right. Instead, he told Jian Songyi: “You just didn’t have a good rest last night. Because of that, we are not going to train for today. You should go ahead and sleep early.”

“Oh.”

Jian Songyi simply agreed. He should relax for now and rest. It’s not like he hadn’t shown his full potential on his exams. 

………..

Just after Jian Songyi’s slumber the next day, his symptoms were still not relieved. But to not let Bai Huai worry, Jian Songyi composed himself and pretended to be alright. Although to avoid him, Jian Songyi went directly to his examination room.

Once, Jian Songyi saw the science test paper, he could not help but cheer up.

Most high-ranking students in math, physics, and chemistry did not know what kind of misfortune befell them. The questions presented on the test papers seemed to be abnormal as it doesn’t really make sense to their understandings, especially in physics. There are also questions in the paper that can only be seen in competitions. 

But on the other hand, Jian Songyi can figure out the solutions with just a casual glance.

Bai Huai, that little fool. It’s time for Jian Songyi to show him his real strength. 

Perhaps because the questions are really abnormal, the atmosphere of the examination room is a little anxious. There’s the sound of sighing on the draft paper, the sound of gnashing teeth, the sound of fortune-telling, the sound of pen dropping, and the sound of the collision of tables and chairs.

All kinds of voices and noises are mixed together, magnified infinitely, and it only made Jian Songyi’s head ache even more.

It ached so bad that anyone would be able to see how tightly his eyebrows were knitted as he holds his 2B pencil tighter than usual.

But when someone from the front row dropped his pen on the floor for the fourth time and tried to pick it up only to hit collision against Jian Songyi’s table, Jian Songyi could not help but finally burst out his frustration like a bubble popping.

Jian Songyi slapped his pen against his desk and leaned his back on the back of his chair lazily: “Can’t you all quiet down?”

The voice was not loud, but the invigilator immediately raised his head vigilantly: “Jian Songyi, what’s going on?”

“Ask them.”

Jian Songyi was impatient as he did not have time to involve himself in so much crap. He only muttered two words and went back to answering his paper. He didn’t even bother paying attention to them anymore.

The student in the front row was so nervous that he forgot to breathe as he clutched the paper into a ball since he didn’t know where to hide it.

The invigilator came over and scanned them back and forth. Years of professionalism made him make a judgment immediately. He clicked his finger on the table of the man in front of Jian Songyi and knocked twice: “Li Ting, come out with me.”

The boy named Li Ting, knowing that he was caught in the act, could only stand up and follow the invigilator out.

As he was leaving the room, he turned around and gave a vicious glare at Jian Songyi’s back.

In the end, his punishment was the cancellation of this monthly exam.

Independent enrollment will refer to the usual results, and this result is based on two monthly exams, one midterm exam and one final exam.

The direct cancellation of a monthly exam result means that his independent enrollment is completely hopeless.

His original plan was to cheat and strive to get through one of the 985 self-enrollment quotas in the province. But because of this, not to mention the 985 schools, the worst 211 in the province will not accept his self-enrollment form too. 

Li Ting was resentful and angry, but he said nothing. Coupled with Huang Fuyi’s warning, he knew that he would not be able to fight back against Jian Songyi, so he could only hold back his grievances. In fact, he even gave up trying and left even before the English test papers were handed out that afternoon. 

Without Li Ting’s noise in the front row, Jian Songyi felt more at ease while answering his English paper. Even so, he still doesn’t have his full strength to carry on like he usually does- in an instant. He was in so much distressed that every time he would try to read the passage, Jian Songyi felt like he is going to swoon.

So Jian Songyi gently placed his pen down to pinch his brows together. He needed to slow down.

It only took him a couple of seconds before he suck it all up to continue.

At the moment of pinching the center of his eyebrow, with his wrist close to the tip of his nose, he smelled an imperceptible scent of roses.

He usually has good control over the taste of his pheromone, and if the pheromone leaks out unconsciously, it can only be for one reason.

Here comes the combination heat.

 Jian Songyi looked around alertly only to find out that no one was responding to him. He remembered that fortunately, he habitually sprayed blockers all over him every morning. And now that the attack had just begun, the concentration of his pheromone was so low that no one is supposed to be able to detect it in the meantime. 

It’s just that Jian Songyi has no concrete idea as to how long the inhibitors could block his pheromones. 

Jian Songyi was about to take a chance when a stream of heat suddenly swept through his body, and he shuddered for a moment.

Here we go again, this damn familiar feeling again.

And his first reaction was to want Bai Huai’s pheromone.

He shook his head and shook out the terrible futile idea.

Then he held a pen and wrote the problem at an unprecedented speed.

Fortunately, English is mostly multiple-choice questions, which takes no time to write.

He did not analyze the questions or check the grammar. He was not even careful as he reads ten lines in a glance and then chooses his answers by mere gut feeling. And then when it came to writing a composition, he only wrote 120 words and all based on gut feeling as well. 

As soon as he was done, he quickly discarded his pen with a bang before rushing to hand his paper ahead. Afterward, he rushed out of the classroom to bolt into the comfort room. 

Class 5’s classroom has no other advantage but the fact that it is closest to the toilet.

Compared to Class One which is at the end of the corridor.

Jian Songyi loosely shut himself in a cubicle. He leaned over the light blue partition as he gasps for breath.

He answered almost all of the questions with the casual answer method and only fought for speed, so he still had almost an hour before the paper was due.

But his inhibitors and cellphone are in his school bag, and he can’t possibly go and get them until the examination is over.

The uncomfortable feeling is becoming more and more obvious. Heat is flowing all over Jian Songyi’s body as his bones become sore and tingly. On top of that, he could not help but feel anxious as his body suddenly feels parched in a way. Jian Songyi tries to restrain himself, but his mind pleads for the soothing of the cold and gentle snowy will from someone. His body misses it so much. 

He longed for Baihuai pheromones, which, at some point, even exceeded the rational need for inhibitors.

Soon, however, reason regained the upper hand.

Jian Songyi is determined to spend the rest of his life with inhibitors. He can only have inhibitors in his heart. Not that scumbag with the smell of Alpha pheromones.

But it’s really hard.

Jian Songyi finally understood why it is very difficult for Omega to be a high-ranking person because it is so fucking weak when combined with heat.

Gene is really the fairest and most unfair thing.

Jian Songyi relaxed his hands on his knees and leaned over his legs a little. His light blue school uniform showed deep wrinkles as he hugs himself tighter until his knuckles turn white and his teeth sink into his lower lip, making beads of blood vaguely ooze out from the corner of his lips. 

Pain and willpower kept him awake from being swayed by hormones and desires, and from releasing pheromones and causing riots.

There was nothing else he could do but pray that time would be too fast and that he would be lucky enough to survive the exam without being discovered.

Bai Huai may not be able to help him this time.

‘Well, I can’t rely too much on Bai Huai all the time.’ Jian Songyi thought to himself.

Bai Huai will always have his own Omega. No matter whether he goes back to Nancheng for the reason he thinks, he will leave again sooner or later. So Jian Songyi can’t really take his goodness for granted, nor can he really use him as his Alpha.

Or else it will all be a mess.

Jian Songyi was thinking wildly as the time flowed slowly.

He was so hot that the desire in the depths of his body became more and more intense as the temperature rose. he could hardly even stand on his feet, making him lean against the partition so that he do not slip to the ground.

Jian Songyi loosened his school uniform and tugged at the neckline of his shirt. Even if he could not see himself, he knew that he must be more than blushing now.

He wanted to go out and wash his face in cold water, but suddenly he heard footsteps.

This is the men’s Alpha’s bathroom, and only Alpha can come in.

Jian Songyi held his breath for a moment as he tried his best to rein his pheromones and pinned his hopes on the best barrier on the market that he sprayed a few times in the morning. He would be needing all the luck in the world for him to get through this.

However, the person knocked on the cubicle door. “Is there anyone inside?”

It was an unfamiliar voice that holds deep suspicion. 

Jian Songyi felt that he might be a little bit unlucky this time.

The whole corridor as well as all the following classrooms are quiet and dready. In fact, the class at the other end of the corridor was so quiet that a person could only hear the tip of the pen rustling across the paper.

Nothing out of the blue is happening. 

But Bai Huai suddenly stopped writing and frowned slightly.

He seemed to smell it just now, a wisp of something light, it’s so faint that it smelled like an illusory wild rose.

It’s the smell of Jian Songyi’s pheromone.

But Jian Songyi obviously took the exam in Class 5. If Class 1 could smell it, then Alphas in Class 4 and Class 3 would have started smelling it a long time ago, but the whole floor was quiet.

The Alpha around him didn’t respond either.

In an instant, Bai Huai was sure that Jian Songyi is in heat. 

Probably because his own and Jian Songyi’s pheromone fit is far higher than normal and the fact that he is a top Alpha, his capture ability is far superior than ordinary Alpha. Besides, Jian Songyi’s pheromone is the flavor that can most stimulate his instinctive possessiveness, so even if it is very light, light to almost nothing, he can also capture it even from a distance that is not quite close.

It should be the role of a barrier, coupled with simple self-control, so other people are not aware of it for the time being.

Nonetheless, Jian Songyi is not safe if this is not the case. If ever, this is only postponing what’s there to happen.

Bai Huai did not even cover his pen. He picked up his paper and quickly walked over to the podium. “I am passing my paper.”

The invigilator turned over and hurriedly shouted to Bai Huai’s back, “Why are you handing this out already/ You still haven’t answered a page, and it’s still not time to pass the papers yet.”

“It’s too hard, no.”

Bai Huai left the statement coldly before he picked up Jian Songyi’s bag. Just like that, he rushed to the other end of the corridor.
