The phone on the table vibrated. Zhou Shiyi picked it up and saw it was Teacher Li’s number.

“Hello?”

“Hello, Zhou Shiyi, I checked your results. You got first place nationally and you’ve been granted direct admission!”

Just as Zhou Shiyi answered, he heard Teacher Li rattling off a bunch of things on the other end; Zhou Shiyi let out a small laugh.

When Zhou Shiyi returned to school, he saw Mingde High School had hung a banner at the main gate.

“Warm congratulations to our student Zhou Shiyi for scoring full marks in the biology competition.”

“Congratulations to our student for achieving excellent results in the biology competition.”

Zhou Shiyi thought it was a bit exaggerated. When he walked into the classroom, his classmates swarmed around him.

“Zhou God! Let me bask in your genius aura!”

“Congratulations to Zhou Shen on his successful direct admission.”

“Zhou Shen, can I touch your gold trophy?”

Zhou Shiyi smiled and agreed to each request.

Seeing how easygoing he was, the others all swarmed over, following the crowd to give Zhou Shiyi a hug.

\u201cHey hey hey, what are you doing? Get back to your seats\u2014your whole class is the only one the whole school can hear.\u201d The English teacher came in from outside, saw the commotion, and scolded them with a stern face.

Of course their class wasn\u2019t the only one talking in the school, but with the teacher there everyone returned to their seats and waited for class to start.

The cluster of students who had been gathered together immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Zhou Shiyi felt both amused and exasperated; after telling the teacher on duty during evening self-study, he went to the biology department office.

“Reporting.”

Zhou Shiyi gave his report, then froze a little when he saw a group of unfamiliar teachers sitting in the biology department office.

“Come, come, Xiao Zhou’s here, we were just talking about you,” Teacher Li said, beaming as he ushered Zhou Shiyi in.

Zhou Shiyi had gotten a perfect score on the national first exam, which made him shine with pride; when they looked at him, it was like looking at their own nephew.

“This must be Zhou Shiyi, right? Indeed a promising talent.”

Seeing several teachers he didn’t recognize, Zhou Shiyi felt a little unsure.

Teacher Li pulled him aside and said softly, “These are teachers from A University, and those are from B University. They both want you to sign with them \u2014 you decide for yourself.”

A and B are the nation’s top two schools. If you asked which is number three, there’d be a dozen or so universities vying for that spot, but for the national number one, it’s A or B.

The two universities pulled out all the stops every year in the student recruitment battle.

In the end, amid all the noise, Zhou Shiyi decided to sign the contract with B University and accept the early guaranteed admission.

Zhou Shiyi also successfully made the team for the International Biology Olympiad.

Zhou Shiyi wasn’t the only student from H City to make the national team; that girl from No.1 High School did too.

There were only four slots on the national team, and H City took two of them\u2014H City was really stealing the spotlight this year.

With time tight, Zhou Shiyi had to follow orders and join the national team to prepare for the final competition.

This time it wasn’t competing on the same stage as the nation’s geniuses, but against the world’s geniuses; the fact they could represent the country in such an event already proved their strength.

They were already guaranteed admission, so there was no pressure about college entrance, but this was an event representing Huaguo\u2014bringing honor to the country.

The news that Zhou Shiyi had been directly admitted to B University spread like wildfire, especially among the students of Senior Year Class 1; they felt both proud and convinced.

After spending so much time together, they had nothing but admiration for Zhou Shiyi. Only those who’d raced on the same track as him truly understood the complete, crushing dominance he brought to others.

Gu Sheng had long known Zhou Shiyi would be recommended; even his scores matched his previous life’s. While he was happy for Zhou Shiyi, he also put in effort because of it.

Gu Sheng now slept only three hours a day, propped up entirely by coffee.

He was able to hold on until now purely by a conviction called Zhou Shiyi.

After the midterm exams, the homeroom teacher held a session called “The School of Your Dreams” to strengthen their confidence.

At that time Zhou Shiyi hadn’t gone to the training camp yet; he, like everyone else, wrote down his dream school.

Zhou Shiyi naturally wrote B University, the school he attended in his previous life. He didn’t know what differences the parallel world might hold, but B and A were still the two top universities in Huaguo.

He also saw which school Gu Sheng had chosen.

Gu Sheng had listed A University.

The two universities were very close; students often went to eat in each other’s cafeterias.

Although Zhou Shiyi was surprised Gu Sheng hadn’t chosen H University from the original story, he still encouraged him to bravely chase his dream.

With Gu Sheng’s current grades, applying to A University is still very risky, so he was giving it his all.

After the final exams, Gu Sheng’s grades climbed back into the top thirty in the grade.

Because of his recent exhaustion, he had successfully worn himself into sickness.

The family doctor took out a thermometer and saw a temperature of 37.9\u00b0C. It wasn’t very high, but his fever wouldn’t go down.

Gu Sheng lay in bed, listless.

Nian Meilan looked worried. “Doctor, how is Shengsheng?”

“His temperature isn’t very high. It could be that his immunity has been low lately. I’ll prescribe some medicine first; if the fever doesn’t come down, he’ll need injections.”

“Alright, alright, thank you, doctor.”

Gu Sheng listened as the voice gradually faded away; he was ordered to rest at home and wasn’t even allowed to touch his books.

Gu Sheng touched his forehead, unable to tell if he had a fever.

He took out his phone to check the group messages and saw posts saying Zhou Shiyi represented the national team and they\u2019d won first place in the international team competition.

He sent Zhou Shiyi a congratulatory message. Maybe because the group was updating too quickly, it pushed Zhou Shiyi out.

\u201cThank you all for your congratulations.\u201d

Gu Sheng looked at the message Zhou Shiyi had sent and, thinking that he could only lie in bed now and didn’t know how many classes he’d miss, felt a little despondent.

Senior year moves fast; right after the New Year they had to get ready to return to school.

Their break was very short \u2014 only about ten days \u2014 and it was swallowed up by past exam papers. From the moment they opened their eyes each day they started doing problems, working until they closed their eyes at night, and still couldn’t finish.

Gu Sheng still couldn’t make it back to the classroom this time to join them for the opening ceremony.

After a long period of low fever, what followed was an unanticipated sensitive period for Gu Sheng.

Gu’s family could only take Gu Sheng to the hospital to be cared for.

The hospital had wards specifically for alphas in the susceptible period, with good sealing and protective measures.

Nian Meilan came out of the ward with red-rimmed eyes; she couldn’t bear to watch her child curled up on the bed, trembling.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and got into the elevator.

When the elevator reached the third floor, the doors opened.

A young man pushed an elderly person sitting in a wheelchair into the elevator.

Hospital elevators are spacious; Yan Meilan stepped back and watched the young man gently wheel the elder inside.

“Careful.” The boy’s voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Nian Meilan turned her head to look at him and realized this was the boy who had saved her two sons at the banquet\u2014the beta.

Zhou Shiyi had pushed Grandma Zhou out into the garden to bask in the sun. There, Grandma Zhou and her fellow patients were sunning themselves and talking about Zhou Shiyi.

“Is that your grandson? He’s really handsome. He must be in high school, right?”

Grandma Zhou smiled and said, “He’s already a senior in high school this year.”

“Oh hey, isn’t senior year starting soon?”

Grandma Zhou patted Zhou Shiyi\u2019s hand and said proudly, \u201cHe\u2019s already been admitted by recommendation; the school even gave him time off for it.\u201d

Amid a chorus of exclamations, Zhou Shiyi could tell Grandma Zhou wanted to keep talking with them, so he volunteered to step away for a bit.

\u201cGrandma, you stay here and enjoy the sun for a while, I\u2019ll get you a cup of water.\u201d Zhou Shiyi took Grandma Zhou\u2019s cup from the bag hanging on the back of the wheelchair.

Grandma Zhou had gone through several courses of medication with no improvement, and since Zhou Shiyi happened to have time now and could accompany her, they decided to take Grandma Zhou to the hospital for surgery.

Zhou Shiyi stood at the water dispenser holding a cup, waiting for the water to boil.

“You’re Zhou, right?”

Zhou Shiyi turned his head and saw Nian Meilan with red-rimmed eyes.

“Auntie, hello, it’s me\u2014I’m Gu Sheng’s classmate, Zhou Shiyi.”

Nian Meilan looked at Zhou Shiyi and said with relief, “Long time no see. You still remember me? You’ve grown a lot.”

“I saw you and your grandmother just now, so I didn’t go up to bother you. You’re not at school either?” Nian Meilan tucked at her stray hairs.

Also?

Zhou Shiyi noticed Nian Meilan’s wording and explained, “Yes, I took leave to accompany my grandmother for surgery. And you are?”

Nian Meilan’s eyes reddened again: “That’s good. My Shengsheng is hospitalized too.”

Zhou Shiyi suddenly remembered the agreement he’d signed with Gu Sheng. He’d signed it not long before leaving for the intensive training, so he’d pushed the matter out of his mind.

He didn’t know Gu Sheng was hospitalized, but even if he did, it would be better to go see him since it’s the same hospital.

“Aunt, can I go see him?”

“Will this keep you from your time? Your grandmother\u2014” Nian Meilan hesitated. She knew Gu Sheng was thin-skinned and wouldn’t want anyone to see him in an embarrassing state, and if Zhou Shiyi stayed out too long, his family would worry.

“I’ll let Grandma know.” Just then the water dispenser’s power flicked and the indicator light turned green. Zhou Shiyi filled a bottle with hot water, and the two of them walked to the garden together.

They stayed a little apart; Nian Meilan couldn’t hear what they were saying and could only tell from their body language. Zhou’s grandmother laughed and patted his hand, motioning for him to go with Nian Meilan.

When they reached the isolation ward for the alphas, Nian Meilan hesitated.

For so many days, she could only stand outside and watch Gu Sheng through the glass, afraid her pheromones would leak out and make him feel worse.

Zhou Shiyi looked through the transparent glass and saw Gu Sheng on the hospital bed.

Gu Sheng was wearing blue-and-white striped hospital clothes, his body bound to the bed with leather straps stained with spots of blood. His limbs showed signs of bandaging; the gauze was already reddened with blood, and Gu Sheng lay on the bed as if numb, asleep.

If it weren’t for Gu Sheng’s chest rising and falling with each breath, he would have seemed utterly lifeless.

Zhou Shiyi’s gaze paused for a moment; he could also understand why Nian Meilan had lost her composure like that.

On the way here, Nian Meilan had spoken vaguely, but Zhou Shiyi could still infer from her fragments that Gu Sheng was in his rutting period.

It seemed that Gu Sheng’s rutting period was indeed as troublesome as he had said.

“Auntie, can I go in and see him?”

Nian Meilan’s hand froze mid-wipe. After confirming that Zhou Shiyi was a beta, her expression relaxed considerably.

“All right.”

Zhou Shiyi is a beta; he has no pheromones. After the medical staff confirmed his sex, they had him change into a sterile gown.

Under Nian Meilan’s eager gaze, Zhou Shiyi pushed open the ward door.

The person in the bed, under the influence of medication, had fallen into a deep sleep.

The ward door closed gently. Zhou Shiyi walked to the bedside and could finally see Gu Sheng\u2019s current appearance.

Gu Sheng\u2019s hair had grown quite a bit, covering his brows and eyes. His face bore a sickly flush. As if sensing Zhou Shiyi\u2019s gaze, he furrowed his brow and moved a few times before stopping weakly.

Because of Gu Sheng’s movement, the freshly bandaged wound seemed to tear open, blood seeping out.

Zhou Shiyi stepped forward, wanting to check on his condition.

Outside the alpha isolation ward, medical staff were on duty twenty-four hours a day, just in case any emergencies occurred.

When he drew closer, he saw Gu Sheng’s eyes rolling wildly beneath his eyelids. In the end, with the drug’s effects not yet fully worn off, Gu Sheng opened his eyes. He saw Zhou Shiyi in the isolation gown.

His lips twitched slightly, and his dry, parched mouth pushed out a single sentence.
