"… Pheromones?"
"Brother Che, why are you so weird today..." Han Meng was confused. "His pheromone is very obvious. I guess he was drunk and couldn't control it. Did you not smell it at all?"
Yin Che stared blankly at the person leaning on his shoulder. He didn't hold his hand for a while, and the rose bouquet fell to his feet with a "pop", and the petals fell.
"Although we are all in our class today, it's not like there are no single omegas... If you release pheromones like this, what if you stimulate an omega?" Han Mengyu said earnestly, "Brother Che, you may have become accustomed to his pheromones. , but like the monitor she…”
Yin Che took a deep breath and smelled nothing.
"master."
The driver looked through the rearview mirror: "Huh?"
"Can you smell pheromones?"
"Yes, is your boyfriend next to you? The smell is quite strong. It's better to open the window to let in the air."
"… it is good."
Han Meng couldn't believe it: "Brother Che, you really didn't smell it?"
Yin Che picked up the rose on the ground, and the dark red petals came into his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be red too.
"Let's talk about it another day, hang up first." He just pressed to end the call.
There was still half an hour to go to Dongcheng, which was enough for him to calm down and face Jiang Yao who was awake.
"Where are you?" Jiang Yao stretched, frowned, pressed his temples, and looked out the window, "We're all here, my house is in front."
Yin Che: "Master, stop at the gate."
Jiang Yao looked at him: "Why don't you drive in? There is still a long way to go inside, it's quite far."
"I have something to ask you, come down."
The driver felt that the cold-faced one should be in charge of the two of them, so he followed the instructions and left them at the gate. After collecting the money, he walked away.
The night wind was sultry and there were a few dark clouds floating in the night sky, and a heavy rain could fall at any time.
A year has passed and summer is almost here again.
Yin Che looked at the casual look of the person in front of him, as if it was no different from when they met at the beginning of last year.
But it seems that everything has changed.
Jiang Yao stuck in his pocket: "If you have something to say, it's already nine o'clock, so you don't plan to go home tonight?"
Yin Che held the flower and looked at the person who gave him the flower.
"Brother, did you lie to me again?"
Jiang Yao was stunned: "Where did I lie to you?"
"You have pheromones on your body, and everyone else smells it." Yin Che asked directly, "Do you think I can't smell it, so you treat me like a fool?"
Jiang Yao opened his mouth, but he stopped talking, it seemed that he was completely awake.
"Why did you trick me into taking an inhibitor?" Yin Che could only think of one reason, "To reassure me?"
Jiang Yao remained silent and looked away.
Yin Che stepped forward and grabbed his collar: "I said long ago, there is no need to play with me, I believe you, it's boring for you to coax me like this."
Jiang Yao took a deep breath slowly, turned his head, and looked at him:
"I did not lie to you."
"You still don't admit it?"
"Really, I didn't lie to you. I went for the inhibitor."
"Then how can you have..."
Yin Che was stunned suddenly.
[Is there really no pheromone forever? ]
[No, it's hidden. As long as it doesn't have a relationship with the omega and cause a pheromone explosion, it will not fail. My target is a beta, so it is equivalent to always valid. ]
…
"It's the inhibitor that didn't work." Jiang Yao whispered, "I'm sorry."
Yin Che let go of his hand, took a step back, and stared at him blankly.
For nearly a minute, my mind was blank, and then, many pictures flashed.
There is Jiang Yao in every picture.
The first time I met Jiang Yao who was kicked to the ground by him.
Jiang Yao comforted him by touching his hair under the street lamp.
Jiang Yao, who carried him to the infirmary at the sports meeting.
Jiang Yao confessed to him during the New Year's Eve with fireworks.
On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yao, who was racing from Dongcheng to hold him in his arms.
During the spring outing, he threw chocolate over to reconcile Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao was holding his hand under the desk.
…
Finally, back to the present moment, standing in front of him, Jiang Yao said "I'm sorry".
"...Brother." A tone, trembling twice, "You lied to me, right?"
"sorry."
Jiang Yao lowered his head: "I know I made a big mistake... but I promise you, I won't make it again, please forgive me this time, okay?"
This scene seems familiar. After the basketball game, Jiang Yao assured him the same.
In an instant, Yin Che figured out everything.
"Is it Bai Yuwei?"
Jiang Yao was silent.
"... It's really her."
He should have guessed.
Zhang Ke talked about the figure he saw in the woods that night. He came back sweating profusely and said that it was Jiang Yao who had gone for a run. Bai Yuwei, who is extremely sensitive to Jiang Yao's pheromone.
He was like a blind man who blindly believed in Jiang Yao, unaware of what was happening in front of him.
Just because he couldn't smell pheromones.
It was really easy for Jiang Yao to lie to him.
Yin Che lowered his arms, the bouquet was facing down, and a few petals fell, quickly swept away by the wind, and withered in some soil.
"... I've been like her, why are you still with me?"
"Because I really like you." Jiang Yao raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, "I don't want to be separated from you."
"Like me, so like others? So forcing me?"
"No... I just suppressed it for too long, and made a mistake on the spur of the moment. I'm afraid that I can't control the alpha's instinct again, so I want you to quickly adapt to my touch, accompany you to heal your illness, and then have a good time with you. together..."
Yin Che couldn't help laughing.
"It turned out to be my fault... I was sick and couldn't satisfy you, so you couldn't help it and went to find someone else."
He smashed the flower hard on Jiang Yao.
Several roses broke off their stems, and the flower heads fell, as if they had been beheaded, and there was no chance to save them.
"I don't want to heal at all." Yin Che's empty hands trembled, "Thank you, tell me this, I finally don't need to heal."
He opened his backpack and threw the lighter and a pack of cigarettes he had bought for a long time on the ground. Suddenly, he felt relieved, and his whole body relaxed.
"Throw it away for me, bye."
Jiang Yao took his hand and begged: "Can you give me another chance?"
Yin Che turned back and saw that the eyes of the person behind him were red.
He didn't understand why he didn't cry, but Jiang Yao looked like he was about to cry.
"I said, if I break up, you are not allowed to chase me again."
"But you didn't mention..."
"Let's break up." Yin Che satisfied him, and even smiled at him, "Actually, I may transfer to another school next semester, go abroad, and we may divide it sooner or later."
"You like omega, you like children, I really can't be satisfied, we are not suitable."
"I'm quite content with this relationship, so let's go."
Jiang Yao tightened his hand: "Will you never forgive me?"
"That's what you're talking about tonight, that's so outrageous?"
Jiang Yao nodded.
"I forgive you." They are all dying, and there is nothing left to worry about. It's just a lie and concealment, who hasn't done it.
"I said long ago that you may still think that omega is better in the future, we are suitable to be brothers, you don't believe it." Yin Che broke his hand and waved goodbye to him, "Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up now, just be It hasn't happened in months."
"If you don't have a best man in the future, remember to contact me... Brother Yao."
If you can get in touch.
An empty car passed by the side of the road, Yin Che waved to stop it, got into the co-pilot, and reported his home address. The driver sets up the navigation, follows the prompts, and accelerates forward.
He rested his elbows on the window frame and looked through the rearview mirror at the smaller and smaller figure.
Scattered flowers, lonely boys.
Jiang Yao didn't chase after him, he squatted down slowly with his eyes covered, his body shaking violently, and the pedestrians passing by on the street cast sympathetic glances at him, as if he was the one who was abandoned.
In fact, it's good that they broke up at the most suitable time.
Jiang Yao doesn't have to watch his life gradually deplete, and he doesn't have to relive everything in the past.
I was worried before, what if I died and became Jiang Yao's Bai Yueguang, I don't have to worry now.
Jiang Yao will marry a beautiful and gentle omega, have one or many lovely children, and then maybe one day, he will hear the news of his passing from his classmates, remembering that they had a relationship in high school, and regretting it was uncomfortable for a few days, Then continue to live a happy and successful life.
This is the happy ending in reality, not the cliché in fairy tales that the protagonist never dies and the people who love each other will grow old together forever.
"Oh, it feels like it's going to rain today." The driver raised the window on his side and asked the passenger next to him, "Is the window closed? Would you like to turn on the air conditioner?"
"it is good."
It seemed that it had been raining for a long time. Yin Che raised his hand to wipe the window, but failed to wipe it clean, so he gave up, retracted his hand, and turned on his phone.
The screen of the mobile phone is also like a layer of water mist, not very clear. With his memory, he found a recording that was intercepted a long time ago.
The recording was very short, about a second, and he listened to it many times on a loop.
God finally took back this miracle that started in late summer and ended in early summer.
The first day of the eighteen-year-old has not yet begun, but every tomorrow he looks forward to seems to have ended.
