let me smell the pheromones

Chapter 36

On a rare weekend, Lin Pei had nothing to do at home, so he simply cleaned the house, which made the aunt peeling edamame uneasy. He hoped that he would walk around and exercise, but he was worried that Lin Pei would be exhausted.

When Chris came to visit, Lin Pei had just cleaned his display cabinet. Hearing familiar footsteps, he threw the rag back into the basin and rubbed it. Without raising his head, he said, "Why are you here when you're free?"

"I asked you to come and play." Chris smiled, and paused for a while before telling the truth, "Actually, there is a chemistry experiment. The teacher asked us to find time to go to the laboratory to complete it. Next Monday, we will hand over the data to He, but I was busy and forgot a while ago, so I forgot about it..."

It was not the first time that Chris asked Lin Pei to help with homework. Lin Pei took off his apron as usual, "Then what should we do now? Can you still enter the laboratory at your school?"

"Of course not." Chris said with a sad face, "I called the teacher in the laboratory, and he said that it is closed on weekends and asked me to borrow it from other places. You know our school, each 955, I'm afraid there will be an extra hour The class will be at a loss..."

Lin Pei had already guessed in his heart, otherwise Chris would not have come to him if he hadn't finished his simple homework.

Fortunately, he has excellent grades and has a good relationship with the teachers.A phone call came, and the chemistry teacher heard that he was going to do an experiment. He was quite relieved, and directly set up a temporary password for him. At the end, he did not forget to remind him to be careful and safe.

Lin Pei took Chris and his homework, and took a taxi to school. There was no one in the school on Saturday, and the slight purring of wild cats lying in the grass could be heard quietly in the campus.

Although the school's dormitory conditions are good, the campus is in the city, and students go to school from home every day without wasting much time.

Chris went to an international school. Although they both have the word "country" with the middle school, there is a huge difference. The two schools have always been hostile. He rarely comes to Lin Pei's school. It's quite novel to come here once in a while to see the red bricks and green tiles that are completely different from their school, and to walk through large and small cobblestone paths.

They went to the material room first.

"Potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, potassium chlorate..."

Lin Pei made a list and asked the teacher to help him pack the materials on the list.When the teacher saw the lab sheet in his hand, he didn't suspect that he was helping others with their homework. He only thought that he was doing extracurricular development, and smiled kindly, "Are you still working so hard on weekends?"

Lin Pei smiled and said nothing.

Chris stood aside, embarrassed.

Lin Pei has done the oxygen production experiment several times in class, and it can be said that he is very familiar with entering the laboratory now. Chris is dazzled by the side, and he memorizes every number Lin Pei reports. Lin Pei reported to him word by word.

Lin Pei has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He first cleaned up all the equipment and materials for the previous reaction before starting to prepare for the next round.

He was wearing gloves, and just as he clamped the test tube to the shelf, there was a faint voice outside the door, which was still very familiar.

"What you saw just now is the material room, and this is the laboratory. Our school still places more emphasis on hands-on ability, and these will be included in the assessment at the end of the semester as usual grades...Huh? How did this door open?"

As he spoke, a fat middle-aged man stepped over the low threshold and looked in with his head.

That's their director of admissions.

Lin Pei stopped the process in his hands, raised his head, and subconsciously wanted to explain to him, when he suddenly saw a figure passing by behind him, who still looked familiar.

Chris also saw the man, and he gasped in surprise after realizing it, "...Zhou Chengsen??"

·

After the experiment was over, Lin Pei put away the equipment, packed the remaining materials in batches, and handed them over to the teacher in the material room.

It was getting dark outside.

Zhou Chengsen had just come back from the director's place, and Lin Pei had just locked the door, when he turned around and saw him standing quietly behind him, and a gentle smile appeared on his face after he had dealt with everything.

He has a gentle temper, and Lin Pei will not tell him unless he asks.

In the end, Chris couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Are you going to transfer here?"

Zhou Chengsen was stunned. Although he was prepared, he didn't expect him to ask such a straightforward question.

He nodded, "Yes."

"Why did you change schools suddenly? You're already in the second year of high school, so you won't be used to it if you come here suddenly?"

Lin Pei was actually quite curious. He heard that Zhou Chengsen's family was in a difficult situation. When he was in No. [-] Middle School, the teacher even tried to get him a tuition fee reduction, and he also had a bedridden mother.

If the family is very difficult, then transfer to junior high school to study, even if the tuition is free, the daily life is not a small expense, right?

"It's a little bit."

After all, Zhou Chengsen is also a self-respecting alpha. After a long pause, he said unnaturally, "Junior High School said that tuition fees are free, and there are [-] monthly food and living allowances..."

At the end, he seemed a little embarrassed, so he stopped talking.

It sounds absurd, but it is indeed an important factor in his desire to transfer schools.

When Zhou Chengsen was in the No. [-] Middle School, as a poor student with excellent conduct and poor family background, the teachers loved him very much. Not only did he get half of the tuition fee for him, but he also received full scholarships and poverty subsidies every year within the scope of conditions. , this kind of teacher's "preference" inevitably made students jealous, and reported these things to the Education Bureau, submitting a batch of unwarranted materials.

Although it is only a small matter, the Education Bureau attaches great importance to it. Even if nothing is found out later, the school is unable to provide Zhou Chengsen with extra help due to some reasons, and the monthly subsidy has also been cancelled. Although the teacher said I will try to bring it back in the future, but his mother's illness can't afford to delay it, which caused Zhou Chengsen to work three jobs by himself some time ago, just to earn more money for medicine.

Just when he was in the most difficult time, the director of the admissions office saw the opportunity to poach someone, and the conditions he offered were very generous: free tuition and teaching materials, a monthly cash subsidy of [-] yuan, and an annual scholarship and poverty subsidy combined. There are also [-] to [-], not to mention that the school often organizes various competitions, and as long as you get the ranking, you will get a bonus.

It truly explains what it means to learn well and really make money.

Zhou Chengsen hesitated for a long time, discussed with the teachers of his alma mater, and finally decided to transfer.

It’s not that they are not determined, but that they gave too much money——

Zhou Chengsen's mother has uremia. She has been ill for so many years, and the family has no savings. No matter how hard Zhou Chengsen works, the money she earns is just a drop in the bucket.

The middle school grasped this point, and confidently opened its pockets to him: Come on, come on, we have money! !As long as you study hard, there is absolutely no problem with your daily expenses! !

Although it was a helpless move, in front of Lin Pei, Zhou Chengsen still had an inexplicable inferiority complex, and he was embarrassed to say all this, worried that people would think he was a 'philistine'.

Fortunately, Lin Pei didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, so he preserved his dignity.

"In that case, we will be classmates in the future."

He smiled and extended his hand in a friendly manner, "Although I don't know what class you are in... Anyway, if you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me."

He is not very familiar with Zhou Chengsen, but this does not prevent him from thinking that Zhou Chengsen is a boy with good character.Zhou Chengsen's family is in a difficult situation, and he will definitely suffer some criticism and speculation from others when he first transfers. He has no way to stop Youyou's mouth, and can only do what he can do within his ability.

We are all poor people.

In fact, he sympathized with Zhou Chengsen very much, and even substituted some of his past experiences, but some words should not be revealed, otherwise it would only embarrass the other party.

"Are you going to cover me?" Zhou Chengsen smiled, as if he understood his thoughtfulness, he was still a little shy, but he nodded and agreed, "If necessary, I will tell."

He added: "To thank you in advance for your care, let me treat you to a cup of milk tea."

As the sun set, the afterglow swept across Zhou Chengsen's face, reflecting his tall nose bridge and his thick and shy eyelashes.

He is a quiet, restrained but sincere person. Zhou Chengsen will not embarrass others. He is always silent but very gentle. You don't have to worry too much when getting along with him, because he doesn't ask too many questions.

At this juncture, Lin Pei suddenly thought of Song Xun again.

Song Xun is completely different from Zhou Chengsen.

He is ruthless, defiant, irritable and irritable. He always loves to sneer at him, being cold and hot for a while, and doing all kinds of unimaginable behaviors.

But he is also extremely reliable, whether there is an alpha trying to sit next to him, or when Lin Pei was held by the doctor on the arm to inject inhibitors at the Dark Horse Club, or the performance venue was robbed, once he intervenes, he is inexplicably reassuring .

Song Xun's emotions are always extraordinarily strong, he is not as euphemistic and gentle as Zhou Chengsen, he implements a complete iron-blooded policy, shelters everything he likes under his wings, and won't take a look away from those he doesn't like or hate.

Those who love him will love him, and those who hate him will hate him.

Lin Pei is somewhere in between, but it won't be easy anyway.

Zhou Chengsen's voice floated in his ears: "I remember you like to drink Cheese Blue Mist, do you like to drink sweet? I like it too..."

He's perfect for a friend.

Lin Pei thought absently.

Zhou Chengsen is suitable to be a friend, but there is an unclear bond between them; Song Xun is suitable to be his lover, but the world is unpredictable, and they can only be destined to be friends.

When he walked to the door of the milk tea shop in the nearby shopping mall, Zhou Chengsen's voice suddenly stopped in his ears.

It took Lin Pei a long time to react, and he was a little guilty of his distraction, "Sorry..."

He raised his head, and the words of apology suddenly stuck in his throat.

Standing in front of her was a very beautiful and innocent woman, about 20 years old, with light makeup, wearing a pure white skirt, and holding a delicate and small bag in her hand.

Song Xun stood beside her, holding two cups of milk tea in his hands, making a gesture of handing them to her.

Probably caught a glimpse of something from the corner of the eye, Song Xun also turned around, looking at the two walking side by side in front of him with a look of surprise.
