let me smell the pheromones

Chapter 11

On Saturday night, when the two families had a formal dinner, Song Xun and his parents arrived at Ekaterina Restaurant in a car ahead of time.

As early as half a month ago, Wen Qiao had reserved a seat here.

Just like its name, this hotel is decorated in a classical European style. The top floor has a glass hollow design, covered with beautiful and realistic green vines. When you look up at night, you can see the stars in the sky.

The interior of the restaurant is dominated by retro brown, embellished with crimson tableware, tables and chairs, and exquisite bird chime wall clocks are hung on the walls.The pianist sits in the center of the dining room, with a huge glass chandelier hanging above his head, and the light and lively waltz of flowers floats melodiously from below.

Not long after they were seated, Lin Pei arrived.

Lin Pei was dressed relatively simply, with a white v-neck shirt inside and a long black trench coat outside.It was raining lightly outside, he didn't bring an umbrella, and his hair was slightly damp.

The jet-black eyes seemed to be moistened, and they were extraordinarily beautiful.

Song Xun was a little surprised.

He thought that Lin Pei would dress formally for such an occasion.

"Uncle, aunt..."

Seeing that the Song family had arrived, Lin Pei couldn't help being stunned, and then quickly apologized, "There was some traffic jam on the road, I was late, sorry, sorry."

"Oh, it's nothing. I wanted to see you earlier, so I arrived earlier."

Wen Qiao liked him very much, and immediately beckoned him to sit next to Song Xun, with a distance of one person between them.

The air conditioner was turned on in the restaurant. Although the temperature was slightly low, it had just rained outside, and Lin Pei was a little stuffy, so he took off his coat.

The waiter beside him quickly came up and helped him hang up his clothes.

I don't know if the staff didn't adjust the gap, which caused the two chairs to be very close.When sitting down, the young man's slightly high body temperature permeated through the thin clothes, as if the pores could touch the scorching air.

Both of them felt a little uncomfortable.

Song Xun pulled away without a trace.

"Is your father still on the way?" Wen Qiao asked, "I thought you would come together."

Lin Pei explained: "Originally we were going to come together, but the company suddenly has something to deal with, so I guess we'll be late. Dad asked me to say sorry for him..."

"Oh, you are too polite."

Seeing his obedient appearance, Wen Qiao wanted to pinch his soft cheeks, "Anyway, it's a private dinner party, so what's the point if you're late."

Everyone's family background is similar, something happened in the company is always unavoidable, and we can all understand it.

Because the two men in the Song family were relatively silent, Wen Qiao also knew that Song Xun would not take the initiative to talk to Lin Pei. She was afraid that the child would be embarrassed, so she kept looking for topics to chat with him, praising him for being obedient and obedient, and for his excellent grades. There is really no need to exaggerate, and he said that he is good-looking, so there must be many boys who secretly like him.

The praise made Lin Pei almost embarrassed, "No, no, you are too good."

After Wen Qiao finished boasting, she still wanted to belittle her son like a parent in the world: "Song Xun is no good. This kid has been rebellious since he was a child. He knew he would go out to play ball when he was in elementary school. He just played for fun, but his grades were not good. It's so bad, every time Lanming calls me and mentions his report card, my God... I'm ashamed to tell people that my son is an alpha!!"

Song Xun said with a dark face: "..."

"Song Xun is still very smart, and he got a high score in the mechanical class last semester."

Lin Pei spoke for him, "My mechanical class is very bad. I really don't understand how those things are assembled...Maybe he is talented in engineering."

Lin Pei smiled, but mmp in his heart.

The little idiot is indeed very talented in engineering.

Even though his grades in the main class were poor, when it came time to do experiments in the mechanical class, he could control the audience, and he could grasp the key points with a simple sentence from the teacher.

Lin Pei was most annoyed by hands-on work, but he was not convinced by Song Xun's repeated experiments. He would devote three hours to training in the laboratory every weekend during the holidays. His fingers were almost worn out. When the final results came out, only two people in the class got [-] points.

Lin Pei is [-] points less than Song Xun.

Damn, a mouthful of old blood is about to come out.

Wen Qiao didn't know it yet: "Hahahaha, is that right?"

"Yeah yeah."

While responding to Wen Qiao's words, Lin Pei thought absent-mindedly: I usually look at [-] to [-], why did I put all my IQ in the mechanical class, and I can give it to other main subjects.

Song Xun, who heard every word clearly: "..."

"He just doesn't study hard." Wen Qiao was very happy when the child was praised by a bully for being smart, "Are you two sitting together? I don't know if you are close or not."

"We're not together."

Lin Pei said, "I sit alone, behind him."

Wen Qiao: "Is that so..."

Song Xun hadn't spoken since Lin Pei took his seat. Hearing Wen Qiao's tone, he immediately understood what was going on in her mind, and interrupted her impatiently, "Let's talk, don't bring any Get on me."

Wen Qiao had no choice but to change the subject in an awkward manner, and asked Lin Pei if he would play mahjong.

Lin Pei murmured: "Not very good, I don't even know the rules, but I can learn it."

The child's tone was soft and sincere, so Wen Qiao smiled: "It's okay, I'm the best at playing mahjong, ten of you Song uncles can't beat me. Why don't you come to our house after dinner Okay? I'll teach you how to play."

"Don't take me with you. If I win, you will fight with me. Can I win?" Song Jinghua was very helpless, "Xiao Pei is good, don't bring the child down."

While talking, there was a soft sound of leather shoes not far away, and everyone looked up - it turned out that Lin Pei's father, Lin Chengxuan, had come.

Lin Chengxuan was wearing a formal suit, and a blue-gray striped tie was tied around his neck.He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair is all combed back, making his facial features even more robust and well-defined.

His lips are thin and he looks a little serious.

Lin Chengxuan and his wife got married early and became pregnant with Lin Pei in the second year, so that his son was almost grown up, and he was only 38 years old.

It can be said to be young and promising.

Song Xun noticed that Lin Pei restrained his relaxed and smiling expression just now, and stood up.

Lin Chengxuan first apologized to Wen Qiao and Song Jinghua, then turned to look at his son, "It's outrageous to dress like this."

Although the tone was very light, there was a trace of reproach.

Lin Pei lowered his head and stopped talking, took the coat his father had taken off, and called out in a low voice, "Dad."

Wen Qiao could see that the father and son had slightly different personalities, so it was not easy to interrupt.

It wasn't until Lin Chengxuan hummed that the five of them sat down.

Lin Chengxuan's personality is cold and arrogant, and his demeanor can show that he is a complete "upper class person".

It is said that their ancestors are old nobles left behind. They have strict family rules since they were young, and they are meticulous in their work. They even control the number of times the knife is used to cut steaks when eating. Even the napkins are folded to the standard without any mistakes. .

Because of his arrival, Wen Qiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Her personality is actually very enthusiastic, but Lin Chengxuan revealed a proud temperament from head to toe, from hair to leather shoes. If she said like an ordinary woman, Some common topics, but a little weird.

On the contrary, Song Jinghua, who had been taciturn just now, undertook the communication task of the dinner, and talked about future cooperation with Lin Chengxuan.

Wen Qiao didn't participate in the company's affairs, and she couldn't get in at the dinner table, so she could only care about the juniors.

Ever since Lin Chengxuan came, Lin Pei has been silent.

He eats very well, and Song Xun has discovered it a long time ago.

Lin Pei is used to cutting lamb chops into very small pieces, eating a little and then cutting a little, without worrying about trouble.If you get sauce on your lips, stop and dab it with a napkin.

A piece of meat the size of a palm was eaten by him like a full banquet.

Wen Qiao asked: "Why does Xiao Pei eat so little? Is he not used to eating Russian food? There are other cuisines here too, how about I order something else for you? Here is a seafood risotto with squid ink that is also good. Do you want to try?"

Ekaterina's restaurant is famous for its Russian cuisine, and seafood risotto like this naturally doesn't appear on their menu.

Of course if you have money, it's different.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Chengxuan's gaze turned, "Thank you for your kindness, but Xiao Pei is allergic to seafood and cannot eat this."

Wen Qiao said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't know about this...does he still have any allergies?"

Lin Pei said softly: "Mango, coriander and other hair products are prone to allergies."

Lin Chengxuan hummed, "He inherited his mother's allergy constitution, and his constitution is weak, so he can't touch many things."

This was the first time Song Xun knew about it.

Lin Pei seldom eats in the school cafeteria. There is a clean small restaurant outside the school. The owner seems to know him, so Lin Pei will go there to open a small restaurant when it is time to eat.

In the past, he always thought that this was Lin Pei's unique young master's style, but he didn't expect that it was actually because of allergies.

Now that his mother was mentioned, Wen Qiao asked naturally: "I heard that Mrs. Lin has been recuperating in the hospital. I wonder if she's feeling better recently? It's been a long time since we moved here... If it's convenient, I can Can you go to see her? We are about the same age, and we can chat with her to amuse ourselves."

It's not just for making friends with Mrs. Lin.

What Wen Qiao thought was that no matter whether Song Xuntong agreed or not, there was at least a sign of this marriage, and no matter whether it would work out or not, the parents of both parties should meet each other properly.

She has met Lin Chengxuan before, but when it comes to the important matters of the child's marriage, as the biological mother, if Mrs. Lin doesn't show up all the time...it doesn't seem too good.

However, Lin Chengxuan still rejected her kindness.

"Although Mingyu's illness is not serious, she can't blow the wind, so she has been recuperating." Lin Chengxuan explained, "She usually doesn't like to talk, and she doesn't like to socialize... You may find it boring when you go, so it's better to let her alone Feel comfortable."

His words were cold, as if the "Mingyu" he was talking about was not his wife, but a random person.

What makes people even more uncomfortable is the toughness in his tone from time to time.

"Oh……"

Wen Qiao and Song Jinghua looked at each other and stopped asking.

Song Xun looked at Lin Pei subconsciously, and saw that he lowered his head slightly, his eyelids were half closed, and his snow-white neck was hidden in his collar.

Song Xun heard about Lin Pei's mother for the first time.

The Lin family kept a low profile, and there was very little news on weekdays. In addition, because of Lin Pei, he didn't pay attention to these things, so he knew very little about them.

On the contrary, Lin Pei became even more silent when his father mentioned that "Mingyu", and he didn't even hear the heartbeat Song Xun.

As if out of touch with this seemingly harmonious atmosphere.

Although Song Xun had no feelings for him, he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic at this time.

He didn't know what was wrong, but suddenly he picked up a shrimp and put it on Lin Pei's dinner plate, his voice was rare and soft, "Is river fresh food okay?"

Wen Qiao smiled lightly.

Lin Pei raised his head and looked at Song Xun.

His dark eyes are beautiful.

However, there was a trace of resistance hidden at the moment.

Song Xun suddenly regretted it.

But Lin Pei didn't say anything.

Song Xun watched as he inserted a fork into the shrimp with long fingers, cut open the stomach with a table knife, carefully cut open the shrimp shell, and then picked out the pitiful shrimp meat layer by layer.

It looks weird.

But it seems natural.

Because Lin Chengxuan did the same.

Lin Pei struggled to cut halfway, and suddenly there was a slight vibration on the table.

Lin Chengxuan was discussing something with Song Jinghua at first, but when he heard the sound, he slowly cast his gaze over there.

Seeing that it was Chris's call, Lin Pei's expression changed suddenly, he stood up and said sorry, and then walked quickly to the open-air viewing garden behind the restaurant.

As soon as he arrived in the garden, Lin Pei immediately twisted his almost stiff waist, and pressed the answer button by the way.

On the phone, Chris chuckled twice: "Dude, is this call enough to show loyalty?"

"Too timely."

If it wasn't for Chris being a beta, Lin Pei would have liked to kiss him in the face right now.

His savior! !

He pressed his sore neck, unbuttoned a button on his shirt by the way, and let out a long sigh of relief, "I'm about to vomit... If your call is a little later, you may only see me." A suffocated ghost."

"Understand."

Chris asked him how Song Xun's parents were.

Lin Pei said truthfully: "It's pretty good. Uncle hasn't talked much, but he's very kind...Auntie Song likes me very much, and keeps pulling me to talk."

"That's good, as long as you and him go well."

"...?"

Lin Pei could hear something was wrong in his tone, "What's wrong?"

"What else can I do, I was urged to marry."

Chris said helplessly, "Didn't we two go to the gym together yesterday? I don't know which wicked person took a picture of us, and then I was hugging you. It looked very intimate, so they posted the photo on the forum .You also know my dad's temperament... He thought that there was a possibility between me and you, and wanted me to contact you again. "

When Lin Pei heard this, his whole body almost split apart.

Chris's family is a pharmaceutical company, and it is closer to the Lin family's business. It would be a good thing if they could cooperate.

But here lies the problem. Although betas can also intermarry with omega now, it is still impossible to achieve full marking.And more importantly, he and Chris are sisters...

Chris is just a crying little bitch, the two of them are together, do they want to do 1 for love? ? ?

Chris said again: "If you think about it, your dad, my dad, me and you, the four of us will have dinner..."

He didn't even need to finish, Lin Pei was about to suffocate thinking about that scene.

"Woooooooooooo."

Chris moaned on the phone again, "I don't know when this kind of hard life will end."

How did Lin Pei know, he didn't even see his own head, but he still said comfortingly, "It's good to go to college."

"It's so easy. My dad has already chosen a major for me, and he will go home and inherit the family property as soon as he graduates..."

"Good guy," Lin Pei said, "Good guy, don't donate tens of billions of property to others."

Both laughed.

We all understand that this is just having fun.

Lin Pei and Chris talked on the phone for a few minutes, and it began to rain sporadically outside again.Although he hadn't finished chatting yet, he was even more afraid that Lin Chengxuan would say that he was rude, so he could only hang up hastily and prepare to go back.

Turning around, Song Xun was standing behind him.

"!!"

Lin Pei was so startled that his heart almost flew out.

Physiological shock is a trivial matter, the important thing is that the moment of reaction, it will be gone immediately.

When did Song Xun stand there?How much did he hear?

However, Song Xun didn't say anything, "Go back quickly, it's raining."

"Oh……"

Lin Pei glanced at his expression in a panic. It was quite normal, and he didn't look like he had successfully captured the bag, but he was guilty. Now that the raindrops fell on his eyelashes, Lin Pei didn't dare to wipe them, let alone look up. Song toured.

He coughed, and was about to walk quickly, when he was stopped halfway.

Lin Pei raised his head in surprise, and suddenly a wide palm slowly appeared in his sight, with a shallow scar on the palm.

That is……

He froze for a moment, the palm was pressed against his forehead the next moment without giving him time to react.The warm fingertips grazed the skin, inserted...into the crevice of his slightly messy hair, and then gently poked it.

Lin Pei smelled the faint smell of vetiver on his body again.

He didn't let go until he combed the rain-stained hair back neatly, exposing Lin Pei's beautiful forehead.

"My hair is messed up."

Song Xun said calmly.
