Chapter 104: Make You Call Me Brother (24)
Ren Jin’s previous roommate had a very low pheromone level, far inferior to Ren Jin. In front of Ren Jin, he was the obedient, sensible, and silent type.
Last night, when the counselor notified them and asked who among the five people in the suite (excluding Gu Yinnian) was willing to switch dorms, that roommate instantly volunteered.
When the counselor told him to move to the dorm downstairs within a day, the guy almost wept with joy and packed his bags to move out that very night.
Ren Jin was also domineering.
Being suppressed by Gu Yinnian to the point where he dared not speak out had already made him very unhappy. Fortunately, Gu Yinnian wasn’t in the same room as him, so as long as he deliberately avoided him, they wouldn’t meet.
But now, Xiao Ji had arrived.
It would be fine if he didn’t speak—at least he looked like an Omega and was pleasant to the eye. But once he opened his mouth, it was truly annoying.
Ren Jin disdained getting physical with Xiao Ji, thinking Xiao Ji was pale, tender, and vulnerable. He directly released his pheromones, wanting to teach Xiao Ji a lesson.
It was illegal for an Alpha to release a large amount of aggressive pheromones in public places.
But in one’s own dorm, applying a little pressure on someone without causing substantial harm was inconsequential.
Ren Jin wanted to scare Xiao Ji so he wouldn’t put on airs as soon as he arrived.
However, Xiao Ji sat there, unmoved. After a while, he even asked:
“What are you doing?”
For an Alpha currently releasing aggressive pheromones, this was undoubtedly a great humiliation.
Ren Jin’s face changed. Just as he wanted to increase the concentration of his pheromones, he suddenly felt the surrounding temperature plummet. A biting chill rushed straight into his nasal cavity. His glands throbbed with pain, a nosebleed streamed down both nostrils, and his legs turned to jelly.
Fortunately, this feeling didn’t last and soon vanished.
Xiao Ji didn’t think his request was excessive. He wasn’t interfering with Ren Jin; the three requirements were just to stop Ren Jin from harassing him. Song Zhi had done this very well before.
He didn’t say anything more to Ren Jin. He retracted his pheromones and continued organizing his things as if nothing had happened.
After this, Ren Jin shut his mouth completely. admitting bad luck, he pulled out two tissues to wipe the blood from under his nose, picked up his bucket of dirty clothes, and left the room.
He wanted to slam the door to vent his temper, but before it closed, he quickly stopped it with his foot and then shut it carefully. In the end, he didn’t dare make a sound.
Military training ended three days later.
All freshmen officially entered university life, and Gu Yinnian and Xiao Ji officially began dating in secret.
Xiao Ji followed his routine: waking up at 5:20 AM, going for a run, returning at 6:30 AM, hanging breakfast on Gu Yinnian’s doorknob, and then showering.
After getting ready, he would watch Gu Yinnian wake up to eat breakfast, and then at 7:30 AM sharp, they would take Lin Mo to their 8:00 AM class.
In the lecture hall, a long table could seat four people. Gu Yinnian and Xiao Ji never sat next to each other. They liked to sandwich Lin Mo or Song Zhi in the middle—but they couldn’t sandwich both Lin Mo and Song Zhi at the same time.
So, Lin Mo and Song Zhi took turns every other day sitting between them to pass notes.
“Forgive me for being blunt, but don’t you two have phones?”
Song Zhi didn’t dare speak up, but Lin Mo could ask Gu Yinnian this.
Gu Yinnian drew two stick figures snuggling on the note, then asked Xiao Ji if he wanted to arrange some activities for the weekend.
After writing, he folded the note and handed it to Lin Mo. “Can typed words on a phone have the warmth of handwriting?”
Lin Mo passed the note to Xiao Ji and suggested, “Then wouldn’t words spoken mouth-to-mouth have even more warmth?”
Gu Yinnian glanced at him. “None of your business.”
Lin Mo actually didn’t know why, but if it were anyone else dating in front of him and making him a part of their foreplay, he would definitely be cursing their ancestors—let alone two Alphas in a gay relationship.
But with Gu Yinnian and Xiao Ji, he felt it was just how things should be.
Moreover, subconsciously, he worried about Gu Yinnian and Xiao Ji fighting. Seeing them harmonious and sweet gave him a sense of comfort like an old father.
However, Song Zhi was a Beta after all; hanging out with Alphas all day wasn’t sustainable. Before long, he became good friends with his new Beta roommate and gradually faded out of their small circle of four.
Only Lin Mo remained, working hard without complaint as their protective umbrella against the wind and rain.
Under these circumstances, everyone thought the three of them were good brothers. Because of Gu Yinnian and Xiao Ji’s outstanding looks, photos of the three began to appear frequently on the school forum.
[I knew the Finance Department had many Alphas, but I didn’t expect the quality to be so high this year.]
[Not necessarily high quality overall, just stratified. These two are indeed top-tier.]
[They’re a trio. When you say things like that, please include Lin Mo. excluding him is really impolite.]
[Gu Yinnian is truly handsome. I saw him in person during the freshman representative speech. His body proportions are excellent!]
[Who gets it? I really eat up Xiao Ji’s looks. Such pale skin… exquisite Alphas like him are really rare, okay?]
[Cold knowledge: Xiao Ji was a Beta when he first enrolled. He only differentiated into an Alpha recently.]
[Honestly, if Lin Mo wasn’t there and I didn’t know their genders, Gu Yinnian and Xiao Ji standing together really match. The CP vibes are off the charts. Ruffian handsome Alpha x Cold Omega. Fuck, I’m shipping it like crazy!]
[Nonsense. Clearly, Cold Beauty Alpha x Ruffian Strong Omega is the way to go. Do you even understand?!]
[Shipping anything will only harm you. They are both Alphas. Show some spine, sisters. Neither seems taken yet. First come, first served. Charge!]
[Does anyone remember the Omega from the freshman speech? I’ve always thought she and Gu Yinnian are a good match.]
…
There were many comments like this. At first, Gu Yinnian would scroll through them when he was bored, but once he got busy, he no longer had time to care about these trivial matters.
The reason for his busyness, aside from the heavy coursework of the freshman year, was that he had joined the Student Council.
Xiao Ji had zero interest in things that supposedly exercised one’s ability to handle affairs and build connections.
However, Gu Yinnian bribed Xiao Ji with a photo taken while showering at night—a photo that could only be understood intuitively and not described in words.
So Xiao Ji humored him and joined the Student Council with him.
On their first day, both of them ran into acquaintances.
One was An Jing from the Photography Club.
The other was the Art Department freshman representative Omega, whom many on the school forum said was a good match for Gu Yinnian: Xu Xiaolin.
