The next day at the breakfast table of Xiao's family, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Yiheng's dark circles in surprise.
Xiao's mother asked him, "Yiheng, didn't you sleep last night?"
Xiao Yiheng replied lightly: "I encountered a very difficult problem and studied it all night without taking a rest."
Xiao's mother said angrily: "I'm in the third year of high school, and I can't guarantee sleep. How can I have the energy to attend class today?"
Dad Xiao is very supportive: "My son is willing to study hard problems, this is an behavior that should be encouraged! Yiheng, what class did you have this morning? If it is not an important class, I will call your head teacher to ask for a leave, and you can rest at home. "
Xiao Yiheng: "..."
In order to prevent it from being self-defeating and not being able to go to school, he immediately said: "No, today's classes are very important, I don't want to miss class."
He repeatedly assured that he would not doze off in class, and then Dad Xiao allowed him to go to school.
The Xiao family's dinner table has always been very quiet, but today, the family of three has a new topic.
"By the way, is there a list of famous winter camps for the winter vacation?" Dad Xiao asked seriously, "I heard that students from other schools have already started to sign up."
Xiao Yiheng's finger holding chopsticks paused slightly, and nodded lightly: "I came out, but I haven't thought about which school to apply to."
Winter camps in prestigious universities are a magic weapon for top universities in China to attract outstanding students. Only the top students from each high school can get the qualifications for the winter camp and participate in the university training in advance. As long as you perform well in the winter camp, you can be recommended to the university and skip the college entrance examination directly to the peak of life.
For a student with a beautiful resume like Xiao Yiheng, I don't know how many schools have offered him the olive branch of the winter camp.
Hearing that his son was still hesitating, Dad Xiao interrupted him arrogantly, and said without doubt: "What else can be considered? I said earlier that if you study physics or mathematics, you will have to deal with laboratories all your life, and people who are engaged in scientific research will have to deal with them. There are so many people, how many people do you think can produce results and make money? Most of them are small researchers in other people's laboratories, and they look up to others. Or, do you want to be like us and be a teacher all your life?"
Xiao's mother echoed: "Yeah, look at your cousin, he is just a beta, but he entered the official career after graduating from college. How fast did he get promoted? Now he is better than us."
Xiao's father: "I have discussed with your mother, you can directly apply for Huaguo Foreign Affairs University, accumulate a lot of contacts, and directly enter the system after finishing graduate school. Then work hard to climb up, with your ability, you will definitely be thirty-five years old. I can sit in a high chair.”
Xiao's father and Xiao's mother arranged for Xiao Yiheng's life on their own. Obviously, he is not yet eighteen years old, but they have already planned his life for the next eighteen years.
For them, Xiao Yiheng is not like the crystallization of flesh and blood, but a substitute for their unfulfilled ambitions.
And Xiao Yiheng, from the first day he was born, has been forced to be under the high pressure net.
He didn't say a word, finished the meal in silence, and then went back to the bedroom to get his schoolbag and go to school.
"I may have to come back later tonight." Before going out, he reported to his parents, "There will be a physics group activity after class."
Without waiting for his parents to say anything, he turned and left.
…
Xiao's house is not far from the school. Xiao Yiheng goes out every day, just in time for his morning self-study.
There are not many day students in Hwaseong No. 1 Middle School. The entrance of the school is not crowded with breakfast carts like other schools. There is only a pancake stand on the corner of the street. Pancake fundamentalists looked at it and probably fell to their knees.
However, such a special taste still attracts diners who like to try new things.
Before Xiao Yiheng walked to the school gate, he saw a familiar figure chatting with the security guard.
"I'll go out and buy some pancakes! Five minutes, no, I'll be back in three minutes!" Li Cheng was slick, playing tricks, "The teacher's approval for going out? I don't have that! Uncle, we are so familiar with you. Can't bear to see that your cute little orange can't get enough to eat breakfast, and go to self-study in the morning on an empty stomach?"
Obviously Li Cheng calls himself "Brother Li" when facing his younger brother, but at this time he is cheeky and cute, taking a bite of "Little Orange Orange", which is really boring.
How could the uncle of security let him go so easily, he dragged his school uniform tightly to prevent him from going out. Li Cheng played eagle catching chickens with him, and had a "death struggle" at the school gate.
Laughing, scolding, and flying high, under the magic blessing of the morning light, the boy's every move seemed to be in slow motion. The smile at the corner of his mouth, the tips of his golden hair, every frame was imprinted in Xiao Yiheng's world.
At this moment, Xiao Yiheng suddenly realized why he had only seen Li Cheng a few times, but his eyes were always on him involuntarily.
Because Li Cheng has something he doesn't have yet yearns for.
That is the free soul.
He is a puppet living under the pressure of his parents, so how could he not be attracted by that radiant person.
Although Xiao Yiheng didn't speak, his heavy eyes still caught Li Cheng's attention.
The two met their eyes.
Li Cheng's movements froze, and then he stopped awkwardly.
"Then what... are you here?" Li Cheng had never experienced such an embarrassing greeting. He thought he might or might not have laughed.
He touched his face, and his facial features were all grown on his face, but he seemed to have lost the ability to mobilize them, and could only put on a weird smile.
Must be stupid.
But when Li Cheng thought of his "deal" with Xiao Yiheng, he couldn't show a normal expression.
He had nothing to say: "What... I think you have dark circles under your eyes. You didn't sleep well last night?"
Xiao Yiheng hummed and asked him, "How did you sleep last night?"
Li Cheng coughed dryly: "It's very, very good, just sleep on the bed."
He ran around looking for his sister yesterday, not only physically tired, but also mentally exhausted. Last night, after he called Xiao Yiheng in a hurry, he was so ashamed that he was buried in the bed and tossed for a long time, and somehow fell asleep, but... he didn't sleep peacefully.
He had a bizarre dream all night, and when he woke up, his glands were so hot that he was too embarrassed to touch them.
But his answer, in Xiao Yiheng's ears, became proof that he was heartless.
Xiao Yiheng thought of his hard work all night last night, and then looked at the energetic look on the little bastard's face. He wished to drag him away now and teach him a good lesson.
"Are you ready for the transaction." Xiao Yiheng reminded him lukewarmly, "You won't run away, will you?"
"What am I escaping from?!" Li Cheng hummed, "It's you, you look frail, and you don't know if it's worth the money I spent!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely let you..." Xiao Yiheng pursed his lips slightly, and the lines on his face showed a prestige beyond his age in the morning light, "... It's worth the money."
…
In this day's class, Li Cheng and Xiao Yiheng were both absent-minded.
Xiao Yiheng's absent-mindedness was manifested in that his mind was empty, and even though his eyes were fixed on the blackboard, he did not hear a word from the teacher. The physics teacher asked him a question, and Liu Ke secretly told him which page in the book it was before he found the answer.
And Li Cheng's absent-mindedness is reflected in the fact that he actually listens to lectures in class! Not only did he listen to the lecture, he also took out a pen and paper to take notes, and copied all the blackboard writing written by the teacher on the blackboard in good order!
The entire class was stunned by his unusual studious behavior, and he was surrounded by younger brothers just after class.
Huang Yelun wanted to feel if he had a fever, but Li Cheng slapped his paw down.
"Brother, why did you suddenly study today?!" Huang Yelun asked scratching his head, "You usually either play with your mobile phone or sleep in class, but today you are copying the blackboard writing. You are not sick, are you?"
"Bah, bah, don't worry about your father's health." Li Cheng said angrily, "What's wrong with me studying hard? It's written on the emoji, 'I have to do my best today', I'm setting an example, Set an example for Little Lemon."
That being said, the actual reason is that if he doesn't find something for himself to do, his mind will be occupied by Xiao Yiheng's figure.
Temp... Temp... The word had an air of ambiguity that made him think about what would happen after school.
Alpha and omega, give and take, they are like two levels of a magnet, destined to be attracted.
Their deal was hidden from everyone, and it was a secret that belonged only to the two of them.
After school, Li Cheng made a random excuse and entrusted Little Lemon to Huang Yelun, while he diligently went to the school's small garden.
It's dinner time now, the cafeteria and classroom are full of people, only the small garden is still clean.
Xiao Yiheng found an inconspicuous corner to wait for him, holding a book in his hand, reading intently. But when Li Cheng's footsteps sounded, he caught it immediately.
Xiao Yiheng didn't move, until Li Cheng walked in front of him, he raised his head from the book and said without changing his face, "Are you here?"
In terms of pretending skills, this cunning alpha is the number one in the world.
Li Cheng's eyes fluttered, he hummed, and asked him, "Then what, where are we going?"
Temporary marking is not a trivial matter. To do such a private thing, you always need to find a quiet and undisturbed place. In fact, Li Cheng had considered taking Xiao Yiheng to his dormitory or the locker room of the swimming team, but he always felt that it was not safe enough.
"Follow me." Xiao Yiheng got up, closed the book, and held it in his hand.
Li Cheng glanced at the cover, and seeing what physics or something was written on it, he couldn't even read the title.
What's the matter with this guy, he still has the time to read physics books, so he doesn't take this temporary mark seriously
Li Cheng was unspeakably awkward, and his anxiety all day seemed like a ridiculous one-man show.
The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, the atmosphere was cold, and those who didn't know thought they were going to make an appointment.
They avoided the others and arrived at their destination—to Li Cheng's surprise, the location Xiao Yiheng chose was actually the art classroom.
Xiao Yiheng said: "Mr. Qiu is on maternity leave. Before she left, she left me the key to the art classroom. It is absolutely safe here."
Before Li Cheng had time to think about why Mr. Qiu Xian left the key to Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Yiheng had already opened the door and stepped aside in a gentlemanly manner, allowing Li Cheng to advance.
Li Cheng thought that Teacher Qiu Xian was not there, so there should be a lot of dust in the art classroom.
Unexpectedly, it was cleaned up here. Plaster casts are neatly placed on the shelves next to the wall, plastic fruits are locked in the cabinets, and easels stand neatly in rows... It's private, quiet, with the curtains half-closed, and the occasional breeze blowing in through the gaps in the windows.
Here is the most suitable location.
In the center of the art classroom is a set of desks and chairs. There was an easel next to the table and chairs. Unlike other empty easels, this easel had a drawing board on it, but it was now covered with cloth, so the content on the drawing board could not be seen.
Li Cheng had no time to pay attention to these details, the air was filled with a good smell of paint, slowly spreading under the afterglow of the setting sun.
It was a familiar place, but when he thought of what was about to happen, an unfamiliar shudder rose from Li Cheng's spine. He shivered slightly, feeling numb from his fingertips to the tip of his tongue.
He didn't dare to look into Xiao Yiheng's eyes.
"So... it's here?" His eyes wandered, falling on the drawing board covered by the cloth for a while, and then staring at the plastic apples in the cabinet, "It's good, it's good."
His body was hot, and his reason was gone. He was stiff like a robot, standing between easels and easels, losing control over his body.
What should he say now? Is it time to make a joke to ease the embarrassment
What should he do now? Directly order Xiao Yiheng to bite him
Countless voices piled up in his head, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed Xiao Yiheng's hem - the next second, his body lightened, and he was picked up by Xiao Yiheng's waist.
It was not until his body touched the cold table that he realized later that he was actually carried to the desk by Xiao Yiheng.
Li Cheng is very tall. When he sits on the desk, his legs hang down naturally, and the soles of his feet are on the ground. And Xiao Yiheng stood in front of him, knowingly or unintentionally separated his knees, and embedded himself between his legs, only a few centimeters away from him.
This is an overly ambiguous gesture, and they are like a young couple hiding in an unmanned classroom ready to taste the forbidden fruit.
"You...!" Li Cheng wanted to say something, but Xiao Yiheng's hot hands were still on his waist, and even through the clothes, he could feel the hotness of his palms.
"This guest," Xiao Yiheng's voice was half-smiling, his long eyelashes like a fine fan swept across Li Cheng's heart, "Do you take off the clothes yourself, or shall I take off for you?"
Male goblin, really tm is an attractive male goblin.
"..." Li Cheng wanted to jump up and accuse Xiao Yiheng of shamelessly seducing him, but in fact, his voice was so soft that he couldn't hear him, "...not taking off his clothes, but taking off his pants."
Xiao Yiheng didn't hear it clearly, or he heard it clearly, but he couldn't believe what he heard.
"What did you say?" Xiao Yiheng couldn't help raising the volume a little.
Li Cheng took a deep breath and looked up at him.
"I said—" Li Cheng gathered up his courage, took Xiao Yiheng's hand, trembling but firmly placed it on the base of his left thigh, "—my glands are here."
Yes, his glands are at the base of the thigh, close to the femoral artery. When the heat hit, his glands were inflamed and hot and in need of soothing.
This is a secret that Li Cheng guards firmly.
Now, Xiao Yiheng has become the first alpha in the world to know this secret.
Not only does he know the secret, he will possess it.
