I Like Your Pheromones - Chap 75
ILYP: Extra 3
For most students, their sophomore year was probably the easiest year of college. After their schoolwork and social circle stabilized, they gradually began to plan for their future.
It was late spring, and the evening sun shone into the room through the window. Lu Xingci lowered his head and kissed Duan Jiayan’s lips.
The latter hadn’t recovered from the entanglement that had just ended, and his eyes were slightly unfocused. It wasn’t until his lips were bitten that Duan Jiayan reflexively trembled.
The alpha, who was hugging him, seemed pleased by his reaction, and his arms around him slowly tightened. Lu Xingci turned his face and kissed his ear.
“Are you sleepy?”
He used to hear Shen Chilie joke that an Alpha would habitually encroach on his territory. The more time Lu Xingci spent with him, the more he liked physical contact with him. All their intimate actions seemed to have left a scent on his body.
“I’m sleepy.” Duan Jiayan lazily adjusted his position and patted the arms around him. “I’m not feeling well, don’t hug me so tightly.”
After confirming that Duan Jiayan was really tired, Lu Xingci let go. He looked at the person lying next to him for a while and said in a low voice, “Why don’t we find a time to get the marriage certificate?”
Duan Jiayan was about to fall asleep. In a daze, he asked, “What certificate?”
Lu Xingci looked at him for a while. Seeing that he was about to close his eyes, he said bluntly, “I want to get married.”
Duan Jiayan’s mind went blank for a second.
After confirming that he hadn’t heard wrong, the sleepiness that had just been brewing dissipated. He faced Lu Xingci and looked at him blankly. “Marriage? Is it the marriage I’m thinking of? Why did you suddenly mention this? “
Lu Xingci’s palm pressed against the back of Duan Jiayan’s head, making him look into his eyes. “It’s not sudden. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
“…”
Duan Jiayan was speechless for a moment.
Seeing his silence, Lu Xingci flipped over and pulled Duan Jiayan on top of him. His slightly cold fingers touched Duan Jiayan’s chin and gently slid down.
Duan Jiayan instinctively sensed danger after being tormented by him for an entire afternoon.
“Have you forgotten what you said?” His voice was a little low as he teased, “Do you want to be a scumbag?”
Duan Jiayan thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that he had promised to get married after he entered university.
At that time, the atmosphere was quite good. Not only was Lu Xingci persuaded, but he himself was also quite serious. Duan Jiayan understood what was going on.
Suddenly, he regained his confidence and questioned him, “What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?”
His attitude was completely different. Seeing this, Lu Xingci gently tapped the tip of his nose and smiled in agreement. “Of course you’re not.”
Duan Jiayan couldn’t figure out what he was thinking, so he grabbed his hand and pretended to get up. “Alright, get up, get up, get up immediately. What time does the Civil Affairs Bureau close?Is it too late to get up now? “
Knowing that he was coaxing him, Lu Xingci played along and said, “There’s still time. Let’s go.”
Lu Xingci got out of bed and grabbed a sweater from the wardrobe to change into. Duan Jiayan didn’t expect him to really plan to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right after saying it. For a moment, he didn’t know whether he should get up with him or not.
His back and legs were sore, and he was dead tired. Especially the back of his neck. Because Lu Xingci had bitten his glands several times, his neck was a little numb.
“Do you really want to go now?”
Duan Jiayan had just opened his mouth when he saw Lu Xingci looking at him. He suddenly felt guilty. “Isn’t it too rushed to go now? How about tomorrow?”
Duan Jiayan paused and braced himself. “Tomorrow morning, we’ll wait at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. I definitely won’t sleep in. “
Ever since Duan Jiayan moved out from the university campus, he would always sleep in until nine or ten o ‘clock if he could.
Now, he even dared to say such big words. Lu Xingci turned his head and couldn’t help but smile.
“I’m just teasing you.”
“…”
“I have something to do at school later.”
Lu Xingci saw that he seemed to be relieved and pulled his legs back under the blanket. He bent down and rubbed his head. “Go to sleep. I’ll come back to pick you up for dinner.”
After the cold spring weather, the temperature gradually warmed up, and the sky was a clear cobalt blue. Duan Jiayan turned the small red booklet in his hand and flipped open the certificate.
To get the marriage certificate, both of them wore white shirts. Duan Jiayan stared at this precious photo for a long time. His gaze slid down and stopped at the name column.
“Lu Ge,” he called out to the person next to him. “We’re really legal now.”
When he said this, his tone couldn’t help but be a little serious. As soon as the words left his mouth, Duan Jiayan felt a little stupid. Unexpectedly, Lu Xingci didn’t laugh at him. Instead, he nodded. “That’s right.”
Duan Jiayan turned to look at him, still in a bit of a trance: “Don’t we still need to plan a wedding? It seems quite troublesome. You have to think about who to invite. According to your elders, then according to social standards, so everyone has to wear formal clothes?”
“…”
Lu Xingci remained silent.
Duan Jiayan finally woke up from all his messy thoughts. He opened his mouth, trying to correct him momentary stupidity.
“It shouldn’t be? It doesn’t matter what you wear, but the wedding still needs to be planned.”
Lu Xingci suddenly took over the conversation and muttered to himself, “I’ve never been married before.”
After Duan Jiayan listened to him speak, he realized that Lu Xingci, just like himself, had no sense of reality at the moment. He involuntarily raised his eyebrows.
He immediately threw his embarrassment to the back of his mind, and was about to tease Lu Xingci with a few words, when suddenly, Duan Jiayan remembered, “I forgot to tell my mother.”
He unlocked the phone screen hastily while speaking. Lu Xingci next to him also touched his phone as if remembering something, Duan Jiayan asked in surprise, “You didn’t tell Auntie?”
“It seems that you have a lot of worries.” Duan Jiayan reacted with a playful smile: “Do you know, when people have so many worries, it means that you care about this matter.”
Lu Xingci met Duan Jiayan’s gaze, seeing his relaxed stance, he also smiled: “You still call her Auntie?”
“…”
“She will definitely be upset if you call her like that next time when we meet.” Seeing that Duan Jiayan was silent and didn’t speak, Lu Xingci reminded him: “Call her Mom.”
Thinking of Jiang Yao’s smiling face every time she saw him, Duan Jiayan inexplicably felt a little choked.
Coincidentally, his phone call connected at this time, and Fu Yuan’s voice came from the other end: “Ah-ye?”
Duan Jiayan blurted out: “Mom.”
Lu Xingci gave him a meaningful look, but Duan Jiayan ignored him. Hearing Fu Yuan asking him what’s the matter, Duan Jiayan paused: “I went to get the certificate just now.”
Fu Yuan probably didn’t expect him to be so direct, and she was quiet for a few seconds before asking: “Is the photo looking good? “
Duan Jiayan was startled, he didn’t expect Fu Yuan to ask this.
The corners of his lips curled up a bit, and his tone was casual: “It’s pretty good-looking, I look handsome.”
Fu Yuan laughed on the other end of the phone.
Duan Jiayan relaxed, and added: “You don’t think it’s too sudden? After all, I’m still studying.”
“It’s better to register early, so I can rest assured. I just didn’t expect it to be so soon. He’s just turned 20, right?…Okay It’s pretty good, and it’s about the right age.”
Duan Jiayan was about to interrupt, when Fu Yuan asked again: “Does his family know about this?”
Duan Jiayan glanced at the person on call next to him: “They just found out.”
Fu Yuan was silent for a moment, and there was a little smile in her words: “When you are not busy, I will discuss the wedding with his mother.”
Duan Jiayan said casually: “There is no need to be so anxious.”
Fu Yuan scolded: “No need to be anxious? You’ve already got the certificates, so of course we have to start preparing for the wedding. But we really can’t rush it, it’s like this once in a lifetime, so we have to plan it carefully.”
Duan Jiayan accepted the nagging here, and Lu Xingci on the other side was not doing much better than him.
When Jiang Yao heard that the two of them had obtained the certificate, after a moment of surprise, she complained softly about the suddenness of the event. Immediately after, she couldn’t help but tease: “During the New Year, didn’t you say you still had to wait?”
Lu Xingci followed suit, “I’ve been waiting for a few months already.”
“…” Jiang Yao smiled and asked: “You proposed the marriage on your own initiative?”
Lu Xingci responded affirmatively.
Jiang Yao complained half-jokingly and half-seriously: “You really, why do you like him so much…”
When she first met Duan Jiayan, she didn’t realize how much influence this child would have on Lu Xingci. She thought that as the two people grew older, there will be more or less some complicated considerations about their relationship. Unexpectedly, Lu Xingci never changed his mind from the beginning to the end, she sometimes even felt that his love for Duan Jiayan was a little too much.
As Jiang Yao spoke, she raised her voice on the other end: “Lu Hongchuan, your son went to get married this morning. He just turned 20 years old, do you think he is afraid that Jiayan will run away?”
Lu Xingci heard his father say somethung in response but he was too far away so it wasn’t clear.
Lu Xingci was very self-aware: “Did he say that I’m worthless?”
Jiang Yao said with a hint of joy in her voice: “Your father said that when he first fell in love with me, he wanted to get a certificate as soon as possible. So it’s genetic ah…”
Lu Xingci: “…”
Jiang Yao: “Your father is asking you, what wedding gift do you want? By the way, is Jiayan’s mother free recently? I want to discuss the wedding with her. But if she 8s busy with work, then I can go to live in Haicheng for a while.”
The parents on both sides wanted to hold the wedding early, and after some private discussions, Fu Yuan flew back to Ning City the next day.
On the first day she met Jiang Yao, they took to the street arm in arm for a beauty treatment. In the middle of the night, Duan Jiayan also saw his mother update her Moments, obviously this day was very fulfilling.
In order to plan the wedding, Fu Yuan specially created a WeChat group.
At the beginning, Duan Jiayan and Lu Xingci were still in the mood to throw in a few words, but later, they entered the state of ‘whatever, whatever, everything seems to be good’, and usually only Fu Yuan and Jiang Yao talked in the group.
Seeing that the two of them had been discussing the issue of dresses in the group for a day, Duan Jiayan couldn’t bear it, and gave his opinion: [Just black, white feels a bit strange. ]
It was rare for the party to raise an opinion, and Jiang Yao quickly said: [I also think black is better, it looks the most elegant. ]
Fu Yuan: [The style still has to be chosen. ]
Jiang Yao: [The tie also needs to be black? ]
Fu Yuan: [Maybe it will seem a little monotonous. ]
Duan Jiayan: …
Duan Jiayan: [Anything is fine, as long as you decide. ]
Duan Jiayan: [I especially believe in your aesthetics. ]
Duan Jiayan said that, and quickly withdrew from the WeChat group, Lu Xing checked the chat history twice before laughing, as if watching a drama unfold.
“What are you laughing at?” Duan Jiayan kicked him lightly, “Go and deal with them.”
Before Lu Xingci could speak, the kitten passing by the sofa jumped onto Lu Xingci’s lap. After more than a year of getting along, it had become very used to getting close to Lu Xingci.
“Did it gain weight?” Lu Xingci said, and slowly lifted the cat up, meeting its eyes: “Don’t you think you are eating more and more? Fat cat.”
“Meow!” The cat bared it’s teeth at him.
“If you speak ill of it, it understands.”
“Are you really so smart?” Lu Xingci put it back on his lap and scratched its soft chin: “Then I have to call you brother.”
“Hey brother,” Duan Jiayan faced the kitten: “Are you coming to the wedding? You can still be a flower girl.”
“This thing?” Lu Xingci felt that it was not good: “It’s not at all loyal. Last week, your junior came to see it with cat food, and it’s like it’s never eaten in eight lifetimes, so it can’t wait to jump onto somebody.”
Duan Jiayan rubbed its head: “Don’t say I raised it. You did.”
The kitten listened to their conversation in a daze, thwn he rolled on Lu Xingci’s lap, and motioned for the latter to touch its stomach.
Because Duan Jiayan wanted to swim, the wedding was finally set on a private island.
The summer in the southern hemisphere was sunny, with the smell of sea water carried by the warm wind. The wedding venue was located on the west coast of the island, directly in front of the endless blue ocean.
“I really didn’t expect this, as soon as Brother Lu turned 20, he dragged Duan Jiayan to get married.”
“After just reaching the legal age, he couldn’t wait to step into the grave—”
Chen Yue wasn’t able to finish his sentence, when he felt someone patting him from behind.
Seeing that it was Duan Jiayan, Chen Yue immediately changed his tone: “Brother Duan, how much passion do you think Lu Xingci has for marriage?”
Duan Jiayan put his hand on Chen Yue’s shoulder: “Mr. Chen, I heard that you are chasing after a student from our photography department recently?”
Chen Yue, like Lu Xingci, also enrolled in D university. Only after hearing from Lu Xingci, Duan Jiayan realized that this guy was interested in an omega from his department.
Chen Yue: “Hey, your junior is not easy to chase. Why don’t you let me keep your cat for a few days? I think he likes your cat quite a bit.”
Duan Jiayan: “That’s no good, I won’t do this. It’s not nice to push the junior into a fire pit.”
Chen Yue laughed: “What’s wrong with me? Although I’m not as good as Dog Lu or you, it’s not like I’m not going to trick him.”
Duan Jiayan was amused, seeing him running his mouth like an express train. If he hadn’t known that Chen Yue came to see the cat several times because his junior brother was there, he really wouldn’t believe that Chen Yue was serious: “He is so simple, It’ll all be wasted with you.”
“Duan Duan.” Zhou Xingchen called him, “Why are you alone? Where’s Brother Lu?”
“He’s socializing over there.” Duan Jiayan pointed in a direction: “Aunt Jiang said that I could go first, so I came over. “
Zhou Xingchen looked at the scene of chatting and laughing not far away, and felt lingering fear: “I was dragged by my brother to attend a reception last time, and I almost became paralyzed from fake laughing.”
“Who asked you to laugh all the time.”
Duan Jiayan’s gaze fell on Gu Li standing beside him: “You two are not in the same school, are really used to it?”
If he remembered correctly, Gu Li and Zhou Xingchen’s schools were not in the same city, so they could ge considered to be in a long-distance relationship.
“It’s okay, the two schools are not far apart, he can come to see me every week, and sometimes I will go to him too.” Gu Li met Duan Jiayan’s gaze, and she looked at him for a while, then said sincerely: “You’re looking very handsome today.”
Duan Jiayan smiled and was about to speak, when someone came over and shouted: “The wedding is about to start, everyone come over! !”
Following this, all the young people who gathered here got up one after another.
Somebody said: “School bully, hurry up, we want to witness the love between you two, from wearing school uniforms to wedding dresses.”
“What fart wedding dress.” Duan Jiayan turned around: “Who is so eager? Come out, come out, I will put on the wedding dress for you with my own hands later.”
“Don’t, don’t play this kind of joke with your brother.” The boy who spoke shook his head: “I’m afraid that your husband will throw me into the sea.”
The others looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that the joke had gone too far. Chen Yue was the first to react: “Ah, I want to know, what should you call Brother Lu now?”
Duan Jiayan remained suspiciously silent.
Seeing him like this, the people around him let out meaningful calls one after another. Duan Jiayan directly threatened: “Do you want to be beaten?”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.
Duan Jiayan turned his head and saw Lu Xingci behind him, looking at him gently: “What are you talking about?”
He had been waiting for them to come over for a long time, and wanted to come and remind him, but he didn’t expect to hear Duan Jiayan talking about beating and killing as soon as he arrived.
When he spoke, he naturally held Duan Jiayan’s hand.
Duan Jiayan’s stature was already considered tall, but with Lu Xingci, the physical difference between an alpha and an omega was particularly obvious. The two wore the same style of suit, and stood with their fingers interlaced. There was an indescribable sense of harmony in the picture.
Gu Li looked at the scene in front of her happily. The person next to her jokingly said: “Brother Lu, you came all the way here to call someone, isn’t it meaning that you can’t wait, ah?”
One of them still has the guts to joke with Duan Jiayan: “Your husband is here to pick you up, shouldn’t you follow him back?”
Duan Jiayan never thought that they would also be able to talk nonsense in front of Lu Xingci. He smiled and clicked his tongue: “You are all too excited, aren’t you?”
“To be honest, Duan Jiayan, this is your fault. It’s already come to this point, shouldn’t you start planning to pick a name?”
(TL: Idk what this meant, maybe a name for their future child? Lol)
Zhou Xingchen also joined the group in battle: “Yes, Duan Duan, the note that fox (Gu Li’s nickname) gave me is —”
Gu Li’s face turned red, and she pushed him lightly: “Zhou Xingchen!”
“I bet the squad leader wants to hear it, so I should say it…”
Lu Xingci looked at the scene of chaos in front of him, seemingly thoughtful.
“Aren’t you too bold, huh?” Realizing that the person next to him hadn’t spoken from the beginning to the end, Duan Jiayan shook their intertwined hands and asked, “Brother Lu, why don’t you help me, ah?””
Lu Xingci turned his head sideways, meeting his eyes.
Duan Jiayan made eye contact with him, and then he heard him speak in a gentle tone. His eyes were slightly hooked, and there was a faint smile in his voice: “I just think they are right.”
