AMA Chapter7

Yu Chengsong was surprised to hear the familiar footsteps behind him. The teacher had only asked him to come to the office, not Yin Gu, yet this guy still chose to follow.

 

“Are you here to admire the aftermath of the battle, or do you just miss Lao Li since you haven’t seen him all afternoon?” Yu Chengsong asked.

 

“Is there any difference?” Yin Gu followed him two steps behind.

 

“The difference is that if you do the former, I will have to beat you.” Yu Chengsong glanced at him.

 

“Then I definitely miss him very much.” Yin Gu smiled. “I can’t win you ah.”

 

Yu Chengsong said nothing.

 

He now had good reason to suspect that Yin Gu was on the same level as him, but this wasn’t the right time or place to confirm it. If he acted now, Yin Gu might be fine, but the other alphas in the school would definitely not be able to bear it.

 

It’s not that he can’t control it, it’s just that Yin Gu didn’t react to his pheromone at all.

 

Actually, last night would have been the perfect opportunity to test him—the streets were quiet, and the area was empty. But at least he got his milk tea, and he wasn’t someone who acted irrationally either…

 

Yu Chengsong knocked on the office door and finally showed the smile he had been suppressing along the way. He lowered his voice and said, “Good boy, Lao Li must have missed you very much, so don’t say that I didn’t stop you later.”

 

“En?” Yin Gu looked at him in confusion.

 

“Enter.”

 

Yu Chengsong pushed open the door and saw Lao Li sitting at his desk, marking homework. He was stunned when he saw them and then asked reflexively, “Yu Chengsong, did you upset the biology teacher again?”

 

“Yeah, maybe she’s been in a bad mood recently.” Yu Chengsong came over, pulled out a chair, and sat on it without hesitation. Turning around, he saw Yin Gu still standing there. He stretched out his leg and hooked another chair from the teacher desk next to him, patted it, and called him, “Sit down.”

 

Yin Gu walked over and sat down, not feeling at all like he was being punished to come to the office.

 

The way Yu Chengsong sat on the chair and the natural and casual tone in his voice made it seem as if he was the principal of the school and was just coming to the teacher’s office to observe the situation.

 

Yu Chengsong’s movements were so smooth that Lao Li didn’t get a chance to say anything. He waited until both students were seated before asking, “Why did Yin Gu come out too?”

 

“Don’t get him wrong, I dragged him out, he’s still a good kid.” Yu Chengsong took out his cell phone without any of the self-destruction he showed in the office.

 

“You kid.” Lao Li sighed, then turned to Yin Gu and said, “Go back to class first, and just tell them I told you to go back.”

 

“Don’t ah.” Yu Chengsong looked up, “He came here specially to see you, saying that a day without seeing you feels like three years.”

 

“When did it happen?” Yin Gu looked at him.

 

“In a dream.” Yu Chengsong couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth. He swiped his finger across the screen, and a row of clovers was taken away.

 

“Don’t bully Yin Gu, get along well with him. The friends you make at your age are the purest ones. You should cherish this friendship.” Lao Li told him.

 

“I really cherish him,” Yu Chengsong said, looking at Yin Gu and smiling fakely. “Look, we are inseparable now.”

 

Lao Li looked at Yin Gu again, as if trying to see through something from this good boy.

 

“Indeed.” Yin Gu also looked at Yu Chengsong and said word by word, “Inseparable.”

 

The expression on Lao Li’s face relaxed instantly. He stood up with a smile, picked up the thermos, and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

 

As it was handed over, Yin Gu accepted it with a “thank you,” but Yu Chengsong didn’t take it. So, Lao Li placed it on the table beside him.

 

“You two can study here with me for a while. Here is today’s homework.” Lao Li took out two papers from the table and handed one to Yin Gu. He didn’t give Yu Chengsong one because he saw that he didn’t want it.

 

Yin Gu asked for a pen and pretended to be very serious when reading the questions. Out of the corner of his eye, Lao Li was secretly observing Yu Chengsong, while Yu Chengsong played with his phone as if to say, “I really didn’t notice you were looking at me.”

 

“Well, um, Yu Chengsong, Teacher has something to ask you.” After a long time, Lao Li finally spoke.

 

“En?” Yu Chengsong didn’t even raise his head.

 

“The head teacher of Class 15 came to see me this morning.” Lao Li observed Yu Chengsong’s expression and tried to probe with a tangled look on his face. “She said that Jia Feisong from their class was beaten by an alpha. The injuries were very serious, and he had been sent to the hospital. Jia Feisong told her that you beat him up.”

 

After saying that, Lao Li added with a straight face, “I don’t think so. Although you are usually naughty, but you still know your limits.”

 

“You’re right.” Yu Chengsong took a sip from the paper cup, but the bitterness nearly made him spit it out. He frowned and forced himself to swallow. He was tempted to suggest that Lao Li ask Yin Gu for some tea leaves—just compare the two. One was tea, the other might as well be poison.

 

“I knew it.” Lao Li smiled with satisfaction, and then asked, “Where did you go this morning when you asked for leave?”

 

“Internet cafe.” Yu Chengsong said.

 

“Why didn’t you stay at home and rest since you caught a cold?” Lao Li frowned and sighed. “You guys are too young and ignorant. If you don’t take care of your health, when you get older—”

 

“My mother chased me out with a knife.” Yu Chengsong interrupted him. “You want to battle with her?”

 

“…Then you should come out.” Lao Li sighed again. “Next time something like this happens, call me. It’s better to rest in my office than in an Internet cafe. That kind of place is not safe.”

 

Indeed, and the office doesn’t cost any money either.

 

Yu Chengsong remembered this sentence and lowered his head to continue typing on his phone.

 

His frog son ran away from home for three days and was still in his juvenile stage when he returned¹fyi, he was playing a game..

 

“Yin Gu ah.” Lao Li changed the subject and looked at the good kid. “How is it sitting in the last row? Can you see the blackboard clearly?”

 

Suddenly being called out, Yin Gu turned the pen in his hand around and said with a smile, “Yes, I can see very clearly.”

 

“That’s good. I was worried that your glasses weren’t strong enough. You guys are under a lot of academic pressure and stay up late every day to read. More than half of the students in our class are now nearsighted and don’t want to sit in the back.” Lao Li said, “If you really can’t see clearly, just tell me directly. Don’t be embarrassed. Our teacher-student relationship should be equal and harmonious! Once a teacher, always a father. I will definitely be responsible for you guys and help in any way I can.”

 

Yin Gu nodded. This long string of words gave him a headache.

 

The corners of Yu Chengsong’s mouth twitched, and he was obviously trying to hold back his laughter.

 

Lao Li was not aware of his own problem at all and continued to speak earnestly: “You’re a good kid, and you seem very sensible. But being sensible doesn’t mean you should feel embarrassed to ask for things. In our class, we can talk about anything! You should learn from Yu Chengsong in this regard—on the very first day, he asked me if he could sit in the back. I carefully considered the possibility, discussed it with each classmate, and ultimately decided he could sit there alone. Of course, I’m not telling you this to take credit, but to let you know that from now on, we’re a family. As the saying goes, if we’re not family…”

 

Yin Gu felt like he had turned into a monkey—the one in a Chinese Odyssey.

 

Yu Chengsong could hardly bear it any longer, and the corners of his mouth twitched faster and faster.

 

Once Lao Li opens his mouth, no one except Yu Chengsong can close it easily. Students from other classes don’t want to come to the office because they are afraid of getting scolded, while students from their class don’t want to come to the office because once they come, they won’t be able to leave so easily.

 

Yu Chengsong was laughing while doing the questions, his shoulders shaking. Seeing Yin Gu’s expression that said, “I want you to shut up, but this doesn’t fit with my personality,” he smiled very sincerely and sent a message to Yin Gu on WeChat.

 

After sending the message, he remembered that they were in the office and the good kid should not take out his cell phone, so he raised his cell phone to show Yin Gu in a particularly wicked way.

 

Is a good person: Why must you follow me, good boy?

 

The good boy glanced at him, and the dirty words in his eyes made Yu Chengsong so happy that he couldn’t hold his phone steady. After this episode in the afternoon, Yin Gu couldn’t listen well for three classes in a row. Lao Li’s voice seemed to have taken root in his head, playing in a 360-degree loop.

 

Yu Chengsong’s revenge was more powerful than he expected, and there were also side effects.

 

Yin Gu pressed his eyebrows.

 

During the last session, Yu Chengsong went missing again, and then… Zhou Zheyu, or whatever his name was, wasn’t in class either.

 

When the school bell rang, more than half of the students in the class stood up and rushed out without waiting for the Chinese teacher to say anything.

 

Yin Gu packed his schoolbag slowly, turned around and went out through the back door.

 

He discovered something today.

 

No one used the back door of their class—except Yu Chengsong and Zhou Zheyu—but the back doors of other classes were open to everyone.

 

It wasn’t an earth-shattering discovery either, but Yin Gu found it quite interesting.

 

“Hey, have you heard? Jia Feisong from Class 15 was beaten by Brother Song and was hospitalized!”

 

Yin Gu paused while touching his phone and tilted his head slightly.

 

Two short boys walked side by side next to him, plotting loudly and unprofessionally.

 

“What did Brother Song beat him up for?”

 

“Who knows? I heard from Zhou Hai in the next class that his head was split open and his face was covered in blood ah!”

 

“When has there not been a bloody scene every time Brother Song takes action? But who pays this time? Jia Feisong’s family is quite rich, right? Who would mess with him for no reason ah?”

 

“I don’t know. We’ve been discussing anonymously in the grade group for an entire afternoon, but we haven’t come to a conclusion yet. They say that when Jia Feisong was beaten, someone put a sack on him, and he didn’t see the attacker’s face at all. The other party didn’t use pheromones to suppress him, they just used their hands directly.”

 

“The other party is a pretty good alpha no matter how you look at it. He didn’t even use pheromone and managed to abuse him… Why do I feel like I’ve solved the case…”

 

“We all think that the case has been solved, but we can’t understand why. It can’t be that Brother Song just disliked him and wanted to get rid of him, right? After all, Jia Feisong is usually quite cocky and always makes advances with omega, causing public outrage.”

 

“Impossible. Brother Song has always been someone who won’t take action without money. If he takes action, it must be for money.”

 

“…That’s also true.”

 

……

 

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, so Yin Gu took out his cell phone. Qian Xiaoyu had invited him to join the grade group yesterday, but he muted it as soon as he joined and hadn’t read it.

 

He clicked on it, and sure enough, there were 99+ unread messages. They’re all about Yu Chengsong.

 

In the afternoon, Lao Li asked Yu Chengsong if he was the one who beat the person, and Yu Chengsong said no…

 

Yin Gu laughed, if not, that would be strange.

 

After sleeping in Lao Li’s office for a whole session, Yu Chengsong felt that the effect was much better than that in the internet cafe. At least it was quiet, there was no smell of smoke, and most importantly, it was free.

 

He slept until the classes were over and then woke up for a while before going back to the classroom to get his schoolbag.

 

“That idiot didn’t even see our faces. He was lying in the hospital without knowing who did it, and he even said he would call the police. The first person that the police should detain was him.” Zhou Zheyu said while smoking.

 

“Detain him? Do you have evidence?” Yu Chengsong felt his pocket but found nothing. Then he remembered that he gave the last piece of candy to Yin Gu at noon.

 

“F*ck,” Zhou Zheyu looked depressed, “We really don’t.”

 

“If you don’t have it, then don’t brag.” Yu Chengsong pulled his collar. It was a bit cold when he went out after just waking up.

 

“I’m not bragging, I’m just imagining the future of that idiot.” Zhou Zheyu said.

 

“Think about it. After all, you don’t use your brain in class either. You grow up with this thing, so you have to use it.” Said Yu Chengsong.

 

“Sh*t!” Zhou Zheyu held his breath for a long time and finally raised his middle finger. After a while, he asked again, “When you and the newcomer went to the office, didn’t Lao Li ask you anything?”

 

“He asked me if you were the most handsome man in the world.” Yu Chengsong said with a smile.

 

“…I’m being serious here!” Zhou Zheyu snapped. “This matter—heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know. Don’t just walk away after saying you’re satisfied.”

 

“This is what I want to tell you.” Yu Chengsong took a few quick steps and rushed out of the smoke-filled area in front of the school gate.

 

“You are kidding me. I saw you flirting with that newcomer today. You’re usually so noble, cold, and crazy, but you’re suddenly so passionate about a stranger.” Zhou Zheyu said with a gossipy look on his face. “We’ve been friends for so many years, so tell me the truth, what’s going on between you two?”

 

“We had s*x and gave birth to you, so what’s going on?” Yu Chengsong glanced at him and asked, “Isn’t it exciting?”

 

“F*ck… just pretend that I didn’t ask.” Zhou Zheyu said.

 

Yu Chengsong yawned and said something serious for once: “Don’t provoke him.”

 

“Yoyoyo, what are you doing? You’re even protecting the food?” Zhou Zheyu said with a click of his tongue. “I didn’t realize that our Brother Song likes this kind of thing.”

 

As he spoke, he shook his head with an intoxicated look on his face. “Urbane, graceful as jade, gentle and refined… but this kind of person doesn’t have much attack power ah. These days, there are more and more alphas whose personalities have worn them down. Apart from their A pheromones, there’s not a single bit of A blood in them. They’re no better than the tigers in the zoo… Especially those in the big cities, they’re almost becoming omega, and each generation is getting worse than the last.”

 

“I’ve reminded you, don’t blame me for not telling you later.” Yu Chengsong said.

 

“What did you say? You said that he could press me to the ground and rub me?” Zhou Zheyu joked and flexed his arms proudly. “I’m also very strong, okay? How can you, comrade, boost others’ morale and destroy your own prestige?”

 

Yu Chengsong had a look of anticipation on his face and did not comment.

 

“Let’s go to the supermarket first.” Yu Chengsong felt in his pocket. “I have no candy left.”

 

There are two supermarkets opposite the school, one was large and one was very small.

 

Yu Chengsong usually likes to go to the smaller one where there are fewer people, so he can buy things faster.

 

After buying the candy, the two of them went out directly from the back door of the supermarket, taking a shortcut.

 

Zhou Zheyu poured a handful of popping candy into his mouth, but before he could take a step, he was suddenly pulled to the other side by Yu Chengsong.

 

“Gang ma ya?” It means what are you doing²He had popping candy in his mouth, so he couldn’t pronounce the right words..

 

“There’s some movements.” Yu Chengsong released his hand. He had just heard a familiar voice, but it was a bit far away, and he couldn’t hear it clearly.

 

He needs to confirm.

 

This alley is shady and sparsely populated. It is where many gangster groups come to show off and hold meetings, so students generally won’t come here, except for a certain transfer student who has just arrived…

• 1
  fyi, he was playing a game.
• 2
  He had popping candy in his mouth, so he couldn’t pronounce the right words.
