let me smell the pheromones

Chapter 57

Chen Chao found that Song Xun seemed to have given up planning to meddle in the relationship between Lin Pei and Zhou Chengsen.Although he 'didn't like' Lin Pei before, there was still a half-level marriage relationship between the two of them, so it was only natural that Song Xun wanted to control Lin Pei.Now that Lin Pei chooses to let go, this reason no longer exists.

Chen Chao originally thought that Song Xun would snatch Lin Pei back. In fact, his premonition was pretty much the same as Song Xun's revealed behavior. However, the result was surprising. opted out.

This is not like what Song Xun would do.

After a long period of time, Song Xun behaved very normally. He listened to lectures and ate after class every day. In his spare time, he would ask Lin Pei for questions. His grades also improved little by little, and he was able to be ranked in the grade. Zhang Yun, who has worked hard for more than half a year, almost vomited blood when he saw the ranking on the report card. Song Xun started later than him, and he was even a hundred places higher than him. He was so self-imposed that he gave up studying.

Except for necessary matters, Song Xun rarely took the initiative to contact Lin Pei, probably because he was worried that Lin Pei would be embarrassed, after all, they were not ordinary friends.On the contrary, Lin Pei, maybe Zhou Chengsen's tolerant and gentle attitude, he has gradually taken a lot less light on him, and his relationship with Song Xun has become more calm, and he will no longer show deliberate indifference and avoidance, and sometimes he will take the initiative to find Song Xun. After chatting a few words, the roles of the two seem to have undergone a major reversal.

But the more natural he behaved, the more he let go.

Chen Chao faintly sensed a very bad premonition, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.He tried Song Xun, trying to help him see his heart clearly, but gave up after a few chats.

He found that Song Xun had no concept of liking until now.

What is liking, he does not understand.

He really doesn't understand.

It's like facing a child who has never learned English, and he can't even distinguish between ABC and asked him to prepare for the TOEFL test.

Even after he showed surprise, Song Xun immediately showed a sincere expression, and when he asked him seriously what he liked, Chen Chaoyu was stuck for a long time, and then he picked it out from his poor and barren experience. .

"I like it..." Chen Chao said, gesturing with both hands, "You want to see him every day, and you will miss him when you can't see him. You will be happy when he talks to you, and you will be sad when he is angry and wronged. His Every move makes you very concerned..."

"I like it so much that one day you realize that you are no longer yourself."

Chen Chao thought of the unresolved crush when he was young, and paused, "This is liking."

"But," Song Xun showed a little confusion on his face, "how is that different from a mother caring about her baby?"

Chen Chao: "...Huh?"

"You see, after giving birth, the mother will worry if she can't see the baby. If the baby smiles, the mother will be in a good mood. If the child misses a bite of food today, the mother will worry about it. If he is wronged at school, then Mom will feel distressed too." Song Xun spread his hands and asked in puzzlement, "What is the difference between maternal love and this kind of liking?"

"........."

Ten thousand alpacas flew through Chen Chao's mind, and each face had the three words "grass mud horse" written in capitals. For a moment, he almost thought that Song Xun was messing with him, otherwise how could he ask such a mentally retarded question.

"Of course love and family affection are different. How could it be the same!" Super Chen hesitated for a long time, looking at Song Xun's still bewildered face, panicked in his heart, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Like someone , you can’t help but want to get close to him, hold his hand, want to kiss him, want to do more things with him... How can this be family love!!”

"Like is a feeling with lust!"

Song Xun was startled.

After Chen Chao finished speaking in one breath, he couldn't help being fascinated by himself who spit out the golden sentence at that moment.This is simply the love master max, the top love master!

Now, Song Xun should understand, right? ?

He looked forward to looking at each other, but Song Xun was stunned for a long time, and finally shook his head, "No."

Liking doesn't necessarily mean having lust. Desire, there must be pure liking.

He thought inwardly.

But it's really not like him to say it like this. He can imagine how Chen Chao would refute it. His pheromone index is too low, and he can barely reach the level of a normal person with extraordinary performance. How could he know how to like it? what does it feel like

And he has never been in a relationship.

Song Xun didn't want to continue the debate with Chao Chen, so he quickly ended the topic.

When school was over on Friday, Lin Pei was carrying a backpack, and his slightly long black hair was cut near the ears, making him look extraordinarily youthful.He leaned on Song Xun's table with one hand, lowered his head and asked him, "Do you want me to accompany you to the review?"

Song Xun thought that if Lin Pei wanted to, he would take the initiative to say 'I'll accompany you to the review' instead of a question.

"No need." He shook his head, "The doctor said that your presence would interfere with my index. And..."

He saw that Lin Pei had changed into a shirt, which was light and soft, with the top button unbuttoned, and the neckline was pressed into a shallow V shape.

Lin Pei seldom dresses like this in school.

"Do you have a date today?"

He lowered his eyelids, controlled his expression, and asked naturally.

"Yeah." Lin Pei said, subconsciously looked up at the window, and while tidying up his slightly messy bangs, he said, "We have signed up for a tour, and we are going to Ziming Mountain to pitch a tent and camp, and watch the sunrise by the way. "

In fact, Ziming Mountain can also be visited by car, but Zhou Chengsen was worried that it would be embarrassing for him to be alone in the room with him, so he signed up for a tour group to ease Lin Pei's nervousness.

Song Xun sat on his seat and looked up at him. Lin Pei's bangs were pressed on his arms for too long when he was taking a nap, which made him now determined. He failed to straighten his bangs after several times.

Song Xun looked at it, and suddenly stood up.

He opened a bottle of mineral water, poured a little pure water into the palm of his hand, and rubbed his palms to make his fingers slightly moist.His fingertips naturally lifted up and landed on Lin Pei's soft hair. The hair passed through the gap between his fingertips, like a gentle comb, and fell to the other side.

Lin Pei didn't react, and raised his head blankly.

He suddenly remembered that more than half a year ago, when they were still married, the parents of the two parties met in a hotel. He was so bored that he ran outside to make a phone call. After the call, he found Song Xun standing behind him.

It was raining at that time, Song Xun looked at him for a while, then raised his hand in the same gesture, brushing his slightly wet bangs to one side.

The actions at that time were like plots that would happen in idol dramas and novels.

Also more intimate than now.

This time, Song Xun didn't have too much contact with Lin Pei. He quickly helped Lin Pei tidy up his bangs, then took a step back, and carefully probed him from top to bottom. After a long time, he showed a shallow smile .

"You look better this way."

He said it with all his heart.

I don't think the phrase 'sincerely' has crossed the line at all.

I really don't understand.

Because there is no concept, that's why the words are said like this, with ambiguity that seems to be nothing.

Lin Pei touched his bangs, the ends of his hair were still wet.

"……thanks."

Song Xun looked at Lin Pei, and actually wanted to ask why you haven't confirmed your relationship for so long, or to ask him, is this camping trip the final assessment?But reason told himself that this sentence should not be asked.

Ask the exit, and something is about to be revealed.

That was not the situation he wanted to see.

That's fine now.

So Song Xun looked back and waved.

He felt a little sour in his heart, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I wish you... a happy date."

·

Lin Pei dressed up and went out, and the two followed the group all the way to the mountainside, when it suddenly started raining.

It's not a big deal if it rains lightly, anyway, everyone brings tents when they go camping, and it's over after a night, but the problem is also here.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

A group of people hid in the rest pavilion on the mountainside, looked up at the night outside, the ground was gray, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and there was no light to be seen.

"Why did it suddenly rain?" Someone complained to the tour guide, "Didn't it mean that the weather is very good today, and there are no clouds at night, can you see the stars? Is the weather good??"

The tour guide didn't expect such an accident to happen suddenly due to the good weather in advance. He smiled awkwardly: "It may be raining. The weather forecast does show that today is sunny."

He took out his mobile phone while talking, and muttered wonderingly while looking at it, "It's indeed sunny, I've checked it several times..."

They are indeed optimistic in advance, but the weather is inherently unpredictable, and the travel agency cannot be blamed for an unexpected situation.Everyone saw that the rain didn't seem to stop for a while, and the forecast said that it might turn into a thunderstorm in another hour.

They are in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are few buildings nearby. If there is a thunderstorm, it will be very bad.

So several people made a discussion with the tour guide. The first solution was to refund the money from the travel agency. Before it was too late, everyone took a taxi and went back.The second option is that there is a hotel on the mountain, and everyone can make do with it for one night. If it doesn’t rain the next morning, they can continue to watch the sunrise.

Most lean towards the second.

After all, Chinese people can’t stand the words “everyone is coming”, and it’s already past [-]:[-] p.m., the bus is out of service, and it’s not always possible to get a taxi in such a remote suburb, and I’ll go back hungry and tired , wouldn't you suffer even more?

So they sent a few representatives to the hotel to talk about the rooms, see how many rooms were available, and save everyone from having to go back and forth.

Seeing that Lin Pei was trembling, Zhou Chengsen quickly took off his coat, shook it, and put it on him.

"Is it still cold?"

he asked in a low voice.

The temperature on the mountain was low, and Zhou Chengsen's body temperature was wrapped in the inner layer of the coat, Lin Pei felt himself alive all of a sudden.

He leaned half on Zhou Chengsen's shoulder, his voice was also very low, "I'm much better, are you cold?"

Zhou Chengsen patted Lin Pei's head and avoided answering, "You just don't want to catch a cold. My physique is much better than yours."

Lin Pei knew that it was his thoughtfulness, so he returned the clothes back without pretense, and even changed his angle and put his arms around Zhou Chengsen's waist.

Zhou Chengsen's arm froze, he was a little at a loss, and he didn't dare to move.

"The temperature is so low and it's raining." Lin Pei hugged Zhou Chengsen nonchalantly, and the two snuggled together to keep warm. He whispered, "I hope they come back soon."

"Are you hungry?"

Lin Pei rubbed his stomach, and to be honest, "A little bit."

Zhou Chengsen smiled, and then raised his arm, but he just hugged his shoulder carefully, not daring to get too close.

"I have snacks and milk in my bag." He whispered, "Do you want some?"

"No." Lin Pei turned his head, "If you take it out now, it will be divided up."

In this regard, he has always been stingy.

Zhou Chengsen was amused by his naive speech, patted him on the back, and said comfortingly: "Then wait a little longer, and order some hot dishes after we check in to keep warm."

Lin Pei hummed and buried her head in his warm neck.

He is very greedy for Zhou Chengsen's warmth.

But Lin Pei never told him about this.

It's good to know it in your heart, and it's always a little embarrassing to say it.

Zhou Chengsen is very good, although he doesn't understand him that well, but he is very considerate and good at caring for others. They have been ambiguous for so long, Zhou Chengsen never forced him to show his attitude, not even a hint.

With him, Lin Pei knew that he would be well taken care of.

Zhou Chengsen is a very reliable adult and a very mature child.

Lin Pei nestled in his arms and took a nap for 10 to [-] minutes. When he woke up, there was no chill at all—Zhou Chengsen sat on the air vent, helping him to block the cold wind tightly.

Several people who went to the hotel to inquire brought back unsatisfactory answers.

Today, a company also came here for team building. The hotel is not big, and it is now fully occupied by this group of people.

The rain is still increasing, they can only choose to go down the mountain.

Fortunately, the hotel manager knew that the weather outside was not good, so he lent them more than a dozen umbrellas, which was enough for several people.

Lin Pei was tired and hungry, and his physical condition was still poor. When he went down the mountain, he almost couldn't walk.

Zhou Chengsen blamed himself, "I didn't arrange it well."

He wanted to carry Lin Pei down the mountain, but Lin Pei refused.

Are you kidding me, the mountain road is so steep, the steps are all hundreds of years old bluestone steps, and the road is so dark that the visibility is very low, what if Zhou Chengsen falls down with him on his back?

"It's just such a little way, and it takes 10 minutes to walk, and I won't be paralyzed halfway."

Lin Pei closed his eyes, and suddenly thought of that rainy day a few years ago, when he made that willful phone call in the hospital, which had irreversible consequences for him and Song Xun.

It was also because of that time that Lin Pei began to be a little afraid of the rain.

He cannot be capricious.

Don't want to repeat the same mistakes.

He opened his eyes, and his limbs suddenly regained some strength.

"Let's go."

Lin Pei said firmly.

The road on the mountain was very slippery and the road was invisible. Everyone turned on the flashlight and walked down the mountain wall slowly. No one urged or hurried.

It took 10 minutes to climb the mountain road when we came, but it took twice as long to go back.

When they saw the gate of the scenic spot, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were also faintly worried. It was so late and so far from the city, could they get a taxi?

I don't know if there is a hotel nearby, just stay for one night.

Lin Pei also planned to do so.

Although their family had a driver, it was dangerous and tiring to call people back and forth at such a late hour and it was raining.

If you can live nearby, you don't have to bother the driver.

However, when they walked out of the gate of the scenic spot and saw rows of uniform yellow cars parked on the side of the road, they were so surprised that they couldn't speak for a while.

"Are there still taxis here soliciting customers at this late hour?"

Lin Pei was very surprised, but when everyone saw the taxis, their eyes lit up, and they swarmed up, scrambling to get on the taxi. He didn't have time to think for a while, so he dragged Zhou Chengsen into one of them casually.

"Hello, go to..."

Lin Pei closed the car door, just about to report the address, subconsciously glanced at Zhou Chengsen.

Zhou Chengsen had already reported the address of his family's community, and he turned to look at Lin Pei after he finished speaking, and said in a gentle voice, "I'll take you home first."

The corners of Lin Pei's mouth slightly raised.

The driver was a young guy, and he was not in a hurry to drive away. He took a large bag from the co-pilot, handed it to them, and said kindly, "Did you get soaked? There are disposable towels in it, please wipe them quickly."

Lin Pei was stunned for a moment, and quickly took it over, "Thank you..."

He flipped through the bag, and found that besides the towel, there was also a warm blanket.

The driver took out an insulated box for take-out from under the car seat, and handed them the insulated bag inside, "Are you hungry? Hurry up and have a couple of warm bites, there's milk in it, don't be too polite. Oh, this Weather, are you suffering?"

"Ah, yes..."

Lin Pei opened it and saw that there was a set meal for three people, including meat, vegetables and soup, as well as snacks and milk as a bonus. He was a little dumbfounded.

Is the current rental service in place?He remembered that when he went to another place, he took a taxi, and the driver didn't want to come down to help him carry his luggage.Haven't sat for so long, have other services been developed now?

Lin Pei looked at Zhou Chengsen, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes.

This can't be that kind of black car, it's estimated to take advantage of this time to raise the price, the kind that costs 200 yuan for a set meal? ?

The driver stepped on the clutch and saw in the mirror that they hadn't dismantled the takeaway. He immediately understood and quickly explained: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, and there is no need to charge for these takeaways."

No charge?

Are they doing charity?

...This explanation is even more suspicious.

"Actually, it's our boss. Our boss is more trustworthy. Isn't there a company on the mountain that is building a group? It's our boss. He just knew that a group was going to camp, and it rained halfway. Thinking that you probably won’t be able to go home, so I made a special phone call to arrange this, and he paid for all the expenses, food and towels are provided in every car, and there is no fare no matter how far it is.”

The car stopped at a red light, and the driver opened his Alipay while talking.

"Look, this is our overtime pay for tonight."

It shows 2000 yuan on it.

For a driver, with so much money for one order, it's nothing to do some troublesome little things.

"He probably thinks that doing good deeds will bring good fortune." The driver smiled and said vaguely, "You know, rich people believe in such things."

Every car has it?

Lin Pei turned around subconsciously, and saw that in a car driving alongside them, a man was indeed wiping his wet hair with a towel, while the other was eating takeaway food.

Zhou Chengsen: "Is that so..."

Lin Pei pursed his lips, "Then your boss is really a good person."

This happened illogically, and he probably didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't expose it.

Even if it's a black car, it doesn't matter if it's a black car with such thoughtful service and driving so late.

The driver sent them to the gate, and even offered to help them take out the trash, but Lin Pei declined.

"Then, good night."

Zhou Chengsen poked his head out and waved at him, but Lin Pei didn't leave.

He was worried that Zhou Chengsen would be slaughtered in the car alone, and this idiot would definitely not call him for help.

So he decided to pull Zhou Chengsen out of the car, "It's late, you can stay at my house."

Anyway, my house has a lot of vacant rooms.

He didn't say this sentence, Zhou Chengsen was startled, obviously misunderstood, he waved his hands in fright, "But this... this, this, this..."

Lin Pei glared at him, Zhou Chengsen: "..."

This time I didn't struggle and got out of the car obediently.

Before leaving, he asked the driver, "How much?"

The driver waved his hand, "Hey, I told you, there is no charge."

After all, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly.

Not a single chance was left.

Lin Pei: "..."

He really didn't expect that there would be a fool who would be so helpful.

But since Zhou Chengsen is left behind, I can't say now, I was worried that you would be slaughtered as a fat sheep, now you can take a taxi and go back.

That's too inhumane.

Besides, it's okay to keep him for one night.

Lin Pei smiled, and took the initiative to hold Zhou Chengsen's hand, "Let's go."

When he saw the number plate at the door, his footsteps suddenly paused.

He suddenly remembered that Zhou Chengsen only mentioned the community, not the building number.

The taxi took them home so naturally.

And none of them found out.

Zhou Chengsen gently took his hand, still a little shy, trying to ask naturally: "What's wrong?"

Lin Pei came back to his senses, only to realize that he was inadvertently looking at the window on the second floor of the opposite building.

The curtains were half drawn, and the lights in the room were not turned on.

Can't see anything.

It's an illusion.

Lin Pei thought.

Song Xun is not the kind... who will take care of him.

Maybe it was when I was a child, but that was also a thing when I was a child.

"It's okay." He shook his head, and shook those absurd thoughts out of his mind, then squeezed Zhou Chengsen's hand, and said softly, "Go home."
