After Zhou Shiyi finished giving his statement to the police, he had first been chased through the downtown area and later fought with the people Huang Cheng had brought; his coat had been left with Gu Sheng.

He was only wearing a T-shirt, and after coming out of the police station he still felt a little dazed.

Huang Cheng was also taken by the police for a blood test; as expected, addictive drugs were found in his system, and he was also connected to a murder case from half a month ago.

It\u2019s suspected that Huang Cheng, high on drugs, killed in a fit of passion and then fled.

The group who hung out with Huang Cheng were indeed connected to that extremist organization. How Huang Cheng got involved with them is unknown \u2014 all of that will require prying information out of him.

His phone was vibrating in his pocket. Zhou Shiyi quickly pulled it out; it was a call from Grandma Zhou.

After he answered, Grandma Zhou was calling to check on his safety.

She and Granny Che returned home from shopping and found Zhou Shiyi hadn’t come back, so she gave him a call.

Zhou Shiyi said something had kept him delayed, and he’d be home soon.

He hailed a taxi and went to the hospital; if he remembered correctly, the ambulance that took Gu Sheng had gone to the People’s Hospital.

When he arrived, he found everyone on the first floor wearing masks and cleaning.

The hospital has a set schedule for cleaning every day, so the fact that they’re cleaning now clearly means something unexpected happened.

The cleaning lady mopped the floor with disinfectant and then sprayed air freshener.

Zhou Shiyi asked if there was a patient named Gu Sheng.

The nurse was clearly familiar with the name and said, \u201cOh, that’s the alpha who was brought in today. His early heat came on, and his family has already taken him home.\u201d

An alpha going through a susceptible period while out is very dangerous and can cause potential hazards, so Gu Sheng has already been sent home.

“What about his injuries?”

The nurse smiled and said, “Nothing serious. He came to the hospital for a complete blood count; aside from traces of synthetic pheromones, there was nothing wrong. But because he’s nearing maturity, those pheromones caused his susceptible period to come on early.”

After hearing this, Zhou Shiyi thanked the nurse. Passing by the outpatient area, he caught a hint of mint\u2014somewhat familiar.

He turned back and saw the cleaning lady spraying an air freshener.

Putting mint in an air freshener seemed pretty normal, but Zhou Shiyi felt inexplicably a little disheartened.

Zhou Shiyi went to school the next day and, sure enough, saw that a seat in the classroom was empty.

He hadn’t gone to class again. Zhou Shiyi wanted to message Gu Sheng, but when he opened their chat, it was still stuck on his last question: “How are you now?”

Gu Sheng still hadn’t replied; obviously he was too busy to text back.

He didn’t know what an alpha’s sensitive period was like, but from popular science books he’d learned that during the sensitive period, alphas, like omegas in heat, would take 3\u20137 days off, the length varying, with special leave for particularly intense times.

He could also guess it wasn’t something pleasant.

After class, other students came to ask Qin Shu where Gu Sheng had gone.

“Qin Shu, do you know where Sheng ge went?”

Qin Shu pretended to be mysterious and said, “Our Sheng ge’s in his sensitization period; he’s at home right now.”

A few omegas blushed. Of course they knew Gu Sheng was an alpha and would have a sensitization period, but knowing Gu Sheng was going through his first one made them a bit shy.

“How do you know? Did Sheng ge tell you himself?” one little omega asked.

“You don’t get it, do you?” Qin Shu pulled out his phone and waved it. “Sheng told me himself.”

Zhou Shiyi paused, then turned to look at him.

Qin Shu was also an alpha; he was a few months older than Gu Sheng, so calling him “Sheng-ge” was a sign of respect.

Alphas of that age all talked about their coming-of-age scent period. When someone hit theirs, it marked a distinction from underage alphas, so they treated it as a sign of maturity\u2014something to brag about.

They would joke about it together \u2014 if someone stopped replying, they’d ask, “Are you in your susceptibility period? Where did you disappear to?”

Yesterday Qin Shu invited Gu Sheng to play games. Although Gu Sheng would most likely refuse, he’d always reply concisely with, “Not playing.”

He sent a game invite yesterday, but Gu Sheng didn’t respond, so he messaged, “There?” “Sheng ge, are you in your susceptibility period?”

After a while, before Qin Shu even finished a single game, he suddenly saw a message from Gu Sheng: “Mm.”

Qin Shu blurted out “WTF” on the spot. Seeing that he’d been killed because he froze for a moment, he tutted and, while waiting to respawn, sent Gu Sheng a “?”

Gu Sheng also sent him a pheromone diagnostic report, showing pheromone levels significantly higher than normal.

One of the criteria they use to judge whether their susceptibility period has begun is whether the pheromone levels exceed the normal range.

Qin Shu sent a string of exclamation marks, and Gu Sheng didn’t reply.

That was normal\u2014it’s said that alphas can lose their reason during their susceptibility period and suffer from fever and muscle aches, so it was perfectly normal for Gu Sheng not to respond.

“Can I see it?” Zhou Shiyi asked.

Qin Shu was also taken aback when she noticed Zhou Shiyi. The others wanted to look mostly because of thoughts like, “Ah, this guy’s easy-phase hit earlier than mine.”

There were also omegas who were interested in Gu Sheng.

Why would a beta like Zhou Shiyi care to look? But his expression was solemn, which made Qin Shu involuntarily think of the dean of discipline, so she handed the phone over.

Zhou Shiyi saw that the time on Gu Sheng’s message to Qin Shu was one in the morning.

At that time Qin Shu was still playing games, so he happened to see the message Gu Sheng sent him.

Zhou Shiyi thought about the message he’d sent that afternoon\u2014Gu Sheng still hadn’t replied.

Maybe too many people had messaged Gu Sheng yesterday, so his messages had been pushed down; maybe after replying to Qin Shu he was too exhausted and didn’t notice.

“Thank you.” Zhou Shiyi handed the phone back.

Qin Shu watched Zhou Shiyi completely baffled, but since the genius student and Sheng ge seemed to get along well, it wouldn’t hurt to let him take a look.

It wasn’t until the seventh day that Gu Sheng finally replied to Zhou Shiyi with: “I’m fine.”

Zhou Shiyi had a lot he wanted to ask, but for the moment could only send: “I heard your heat came early.”

“Hmm.”

For some reason, Zhou Shiyi kept feeling that Gu Sheng’s attitude was a bit cold\u2014maybe because he couldn’t see the speaker’s face or hear their tone over the phone.

By Monday, Zhou Shiyi realized it wasn’t his imagination: Gu Sheng really was deliberately distancing himself from him.

He was very polite to Zhou Shiyi, with no faults to pick\u2014just the kind of attitude one would have toward a classmate.

When Zhou Shiyi saw Gu Sheng\u2019s polite smile of thanks, he didn\u2019t know why Gu Sheng was behaving this way. He pressed his lips together and said, \u201cYou don\u2019t have to thank me.\u201d

Their relationship suddenly cooled off, as if the rapid closeness they\u2019d shared over the past two months had been an illusion.

One day, Zhou Shiyi ran into a classmate from his homeroom who was chatting idly.

“Did you submit all your materials?”

“I went through a study-abroad agency; he handled everything for me. I’ll just go when the time comes.”

“You know Gu Sheng submitted his materials too, right? He’s so outstanding\u2014he’ll definitely get into a good university.”

“I don’t know.”

He didn’t hear the rest. He remembered that in the original work, Gu Sheng was also supposed to study abroad, but later, because he wanted to be with He Yanqing, he chose a domestic university instead.

He didn’t expect He Yanqing’s application to study abroad would separate them for four years.

After all the twists and turns, it still came back to the original storyline.

Zhou Shiyi thought to himself that Gu Sheng distancing himself from him now seemed, in a way, quite normal.

How could the protagonist possibly have any connection with the cannon fodder.

Their time together recently\u2014maybe Gu Sheng was acting out of pity and curiosity. As for that last look Gu Sheng gave him that day, it had been weighing on Zhou Shiyi’s mind.

Perhaps it was only his illusion; maybe Gu Sheng didn’t mean it that way when he looked at him.

Zhou Shiyi shook his head, tossing those irritating stray hairs out of his mind. He carried the registration form and knocked on the biology department office door.

“Knock knock knock”

“Please come in.”

Zhou Shiyi pushed the door open. “Teacher, I’m here to hand in the registration form.”

In the end Zhou Shiyi still chose the biology he liked in his previous life. The math teachers were heartbroken and tried to dissuade him many times, but Zhou Shiyi remained firm in his decision.

He Yanqing went to the math team’s competition.

He Yanqing pretended to be casual and said, “Without a great god like you, I might have actually gotten first place in the province.”

Zhou Shiyi shook his head and said, “With or without me, you’d still get first in the province.”

That’s true \u2014 in the original story He Yanqing did enter math competitions and won first place at the provincial level. Just when everyone thought He Yanqing was going to pursue the competition route, he suddenly went abroad.

“Haha, alright, then I’ll take that as your good wish.” He Yanqing’s mood brightened when he saw Zhou Shiyi saying it so seriously.

Zhou Shiyi didn’t realize he was telling the truth, but the more he spoke, the funnier He Yanqing found it.

In the end, Zhou Shiyi could only keep a straight face while He Yanqing laughed louder and louder.

“Sorry, could you please let us through.” Gu Sheng walked over from the side.

Zhou Shiyi realized he and He Yanqing were indeed blocking the way, stepped aside, and let Gu Sheng pass.

As Gu Sheng passed Zhou Shiyi, he even said, “Thanks.”

Seeing how cold their interaction was, He Yanqing asked, “Did you two have a fight?”

“No.” Zhou Shiyi shook his head.

He Yanqing scratched his head. “Then why didn’t you say anything?”

“You did.” Zhou Shiyi corrected him. “He said ‘thank you.'”

He Yanqing froze for a moment, almost unable to hold back a laugh. “I can’t\u2014Zhou Shiyi, you’re so funny. Every time you use that expression when you talk, I find it absolutely hilarious.”

Zhou Shiyi turned his head, somewhat puzzled.

Hearing the two voices behind him, Gu Sheng closed his eyes, his fists clenched so hard they trembled.

Let it be like this\u2014Zhou Shiyi should have his own life; you and he are like two straight lines, briefly intersecting only to drift farther apart thereafter.

After he regained his memories, he realized that after rebirth he had used all sorts of excuses to force his way close to Zhou Shiyi, and it had all been for his own selfish desires.

He had long since noticed that organization’s movements; they were taking revenge on the people from the banquet that night, and their trajectory on that weekend even overlapped with Zhou Shiyi’s. But he was convinced from the start that Zhou Shiyi was meeting with them.

He could have stopped them before anything happened, but because of his misunderstanding, he almost caused Zhou Shiyi to get hurt.

If anything had truly happened to Zhou Shiyi, he would never have been able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Zhou Shiyi was so good \u2014 in those final days, it was always Zhou Shiyi by his side, getting him through one unbearable sensitive period after another; he felt ashamed of the darkness in his own heart.

He repented for harboring the desire to destroy Zhou Shiyi, and he felt contempt for his wish to drag Zhou Shiyi off his pedestal and sink with him into a sea of suffering.

During the vulnerable period, Gu Sheng remembered a lot.

How did he end up making a complete fool of himself in front of Zhou Shiyi, crying and wailing? And how patient Zhou Shiyi was, soothing him in a low voice.

Seeing Zhou Shiyi’s clear-eyed gaze and the way he didn’t quite fit into this world, Gu Sheng suddenly felt a surge of inferiority.

He had to restrain his desires; those filthy, shameful thoughts had to be hidden away.

Without him, Zhou Shiyi could go much farther.

Gu Sheng had been holding himself back, trying hard to act like a normal person in front of Zhou Shiyi, but when he saw others standing next to Zhou Shiyi,
