let me smell the pheromones

Chapter 71

Zhou Chengsen didn't come to class the next day, but Song Xun did come, but it seemed that there was something urgent, and suddenly ran out in the middle of the class.

The teacher couldn't control him either.

It is common for Song Xun to skip class, but Zhou Chengsen is unusual.

Lin Pei asked Chengsen's classmate next week, and learned that he didn't go back to school yesterday, and he didn't reply to his WeChat messages, and he didn't know if something happened.

In the absence of Song Xun, Lin Pei couldn't send out the knowledge points that Lin Pei had sorted out. After returning from school, he simply sorted out other subjects by the way.

When Lin Chengxuan came home from get off work, Lin Pei looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock, when Zhou Chengsen's video call suddenly came.

Zhou Chengsen seemed to be still in the hospital. The background was pure white. A girl in a nurse's uniform flashed across the screen holding a tray, and was quickly replaced by a familiar face.

The camera shook slightly, Zhou Chengsen quickly straightened it up, and found another angle, "Can you hear me?"

His voice was very low, and Lin Pei saw him squatting in front of a marble table, holding his mobile phone with his fingers, and the surroundings were very quiet.

Lin Pei nodded, "I can hear you."

"That's good." Zhou Chengsen breathed a sigh of relief, "The patients are resting, so I can't speak loudly, so I came out. The network here is not very good, and I have been looking for a signal for a long time."

Lin Pei didn't know what to say, so he thought for a while, "You were in the hospital yesterday and today? Is your mother okay?"

In the camera, Zhou Chengsen's expression was obviously startled.

"……fine."

He said, "However, I was not feeling well yesterday. I don't know if it was because of the dialysis. I said nausea and dizziness. The doctor said it was a normal reaction. I will observe it overnight."

Lin Pei: "It's fine."

After speaking, the two fell into a brief silence again.

After a while, Zhou Chengsen took the initiative to ask: "Have you had dinner? Go to bed early tonight, and I will pick you up to school tomorrow morning?"

"Well, I ate." Lin Pei didn't answer his last question, "Cheng Sen, I want to ask you..."

Zhou Chengsen probably knew what he was going to say, his eyes flickered, and his eyelids lowered.

Lin Pei saw it, so he didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Wu Yuan probably didn't like him very much.

"why?"

His tone was calm and not angry, "There should always be a reason. Is it... my problem?"

"Of course not!" Zhou Chengsen's throat tightened, and he said apologetically, "Yes, it's me...I shouldn't be so early..."

Lin Pei's heart turned cold.

What Zhou Chengsen wanted to say was that he shouldn't have taken Lin Pei to see his mother so hastily.

In fact, he had already expected Wu Yuan's reaction.If it was the past, he would have calmed her down first, and waited for the right opportunity before introducing Lin Pei to her.

But when they were walking in the afternoon, he always had a faint premonition that Lin Pei seemed to agree to himself.He was overjoyed for a while, but he didn't expect to do something bad impulsively in the end, which made Lin Pei wronged instead.

He was upset and didn't know how to explain it. He said something anticlimactic, and he didn't make it clear what he shouldn't be.

Lin Pei remained silent and did not interrupt him.

"Anyway, it's not your problem."

Zhou Chengsen stumbled and said, "It's just that my mother hasn't figured out some things, so..."

Lin Pei didn't worry about the 'what'. After Zhou Chengsen finished speaking, he asked softly: "Then what should I do?"

What are you going to do?

Maybe at the beginning, Lin Pei had the idea of ​​just trying not to get married, but under the current situation, can they still only talk about a simple and pure love?

Zhou Chengsen was silent for a while, his gentle eyes fixed on Lin Pei, and his fingers gently stroked the outline of his sweetheart through the cold screen.

"It will be resolved." He said solemnly, "I swear to you, it will be resolved...it just takes a little time."

He needs time to prove to Wu Yuan and himself that the choice this time is not wrong.

Just a little is enough.

But how long is a little time?

Lin Pei had a lot to say, wanted to tell him that he had told his father about their relationship yesterday, wanted to tell him that the estrus was coming, and he wanted a token that could prove his identity, not something casual and helpful alms.

But at this moment, Lin Pei didn't say anything.

"I'll wait for your explanation."

He responded curtly.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Pei threw the phone aside, and sat quietly by the bed, the soft mattress was sunken into a shallow mark.

He looked at the desk lamp by the table, feeling empty.

It was like many years ago, when he was sitting on the cold tiles in the hospital, listening to his mother accusing his father, hating him for letting him marry and have children so early, hating him for making himself an accessory of marriage, his resentful tone made him tremble with fear.

Lin Chengxuan wanted to take him home, but Lin Pei didn't want to, so he lay on the window of the ward and looked around. As time went by, he gradually became exactly the same as now.

Not disappointed, but calm.

Maybe I was too harsh on him.

Lin Pei thought.

May I ask, in this world, who would put all interests aside and love another person wholeheartedly?

None of his blood relatives could.

He asked himself, why should he criticize others for something that he and his relatives could not do?

This scar that has not healed after a long illness is not his fault, nor is it Zhou Chengsen's fault, nor is it his mother's fault.

Like Zhou Chengsen said, they just need a little time.Wu Yuan needed time to wait for her scars to heal, and so did he himself.

It's so late, Lin Chengxuan is probably still sorting out documents in the study.Lin Pei didn't want to bother him because of this matter, so he sent a text message, telling him that Zhou Chengsen's mother was not in good health, and the scheduled meeting time might be postponed.

Lin Chengxuan said he knew.

Nothing else was asked.

Perhaps it was because of seeing Wen Qiao and Wu Yuan recently, always seeing and always reading, Lin Pei suddenly thought of his mother whom he hadn't seen for several years, but he couldn't even remember her appearance clearly.

Would she be happy without her husband and son bothering her?

Lin Pei's fingertips hesitated for a long time in the input box, and finally sent it.

[Is mom okay recently? ]

Lin Chengxuan replied quickly:

[The doctor said that she is recovering well, and she loves to read recently. ]

Those books were naturally brought by Lin Chengxuan.

In the past, Sheng Mingyu never touched those things when she was upset by seeing them.

Lin Pei thought about his father's tone, but couldn't tell whether it was ironic or not.

But his father is not such a person without grace.

It's strange to say that Sheng Mingyu's weird temper now turned out to be a well-known gentle beauty in the city back then.

Lin Pei hardly communicated with his mother. Although his grandmother's house was frequently visited, the old people felt sorry for Lin Chengxuan, so they rarely mentioned their rebellious daughter.

Regarding his mother's memories, Lin Pei mostly learned about it from his grandmother and his aunt who had been taking care of him.

Lin Chengxuan met Sheng Mingyu once before marrying Sheng Mingyu.According to his grandma, Sheng Mingyu is petite and thin, and not tall, but she has a gentle and considerate demeanor.

At that time, the two families got together for dinner, when grandma saw Sheng Mingyu for the first time, the girl was sitting quietly on the sofa, her eyebrows and eyes drooping slightly, her demeanor was dusty.

She thought that Lin Chengxuan didn't like to talk, this girl was pretty and sensible and didn't talk much, her personality was very docile at first glance, and she had a matching degree of 60, so the husband and wife should be very harmonious.

The result was never expected to turn out like this.

Lin Pei was still young at that time, so he couldn't help asking his grandma, "Did Mom and Dad get married because they liked each other? Or was it because they wanted to make money?"

Grandma was taken aback when she heard that, and smiled helplessly: "Our family is not bad, how could it be purely for marriage..."

She thought about it carefully, and then said: "I don't know about your mother, but Cheng Xuan probably has a good impression."

His grandma had the same idea as him: how can you get married if you don't like it?

But how old is Lin Pei, and now he is not sure about these things.

Sheng Mingyu's irresponsibility has been criticized several times by their relatives inside and out. Lin Pei has no right to speak, but for so many years, he has not heard a single complaint from his father, even when the husband and wife broke their faces During the quarrel, Lin Chengxuan did not criticize.

Maybe there is really no emotion.

It can be seen that to get married, one still has to find someone who likes each other, so as not to end up in such a fate.

Lin Pei thought about a lot of things, didn't even turn off the lights, and fell asleep holding the phone.

At 12:30, Lin Chengxuan walked out of the study tiredly, and suddenly saw that the light in Lin Pei's room was still on.

Light came through the crack of the door little by little.

Lin Chengxuan gently pushed the door open, and saw his hands were exposed outside the quilt, and when he touched it, he was icy cold.

Lin Pei slept soundly.

He watched quietly for a while, then bent down to tuck his son's quilt in.Just as he was about to leave, the screen of Lin Pei's phone suddenly lit up, and a message popped up.

[Have you taken your inhibitor yet?Remember to count the days, don't pass the time. ]

It was sent by Song Xun.

Lin Chengxuan didn't take it to heart. At this time, Song Xun sent another message.

[Yesterday, were you in a bad mood because of me? ]

[sorry]

After a while, there was another one.

[do you have time tomorrow?I have something to tell you. ]

Lin Chengxuan watched in silence for a while, until the screen gradually dimmed, and he gently took the phone from Lin Pei's hand.

The password to open the screen is his birthday.

Lin Chengxuan clicked on WeChat and sent Song Xunxun information.

[I also have something to tell you. ]

He thought about it and added another sentence.

[I am Lin Chengxuan. ]

After sending this sentence, he deleted the chat history, gently put the phone on the bedside, turned on the night light on the bedside, and then quietly backed out.

Lin Pei was asleep, ignorant.

For some reason, he suddenly dreamed of Song Xun when he was a child.

He hadn't thought about the past for a long time, and this time he only vaguely remembered the promise the boy had made to him.
