The Pheromones Say We Have No Chance - Chap 56
Luo Zhiyu was just walking and didn’t care about anything else. It wasn’t until he stopped that Luo Zhiyu realized that the path Xiao Yan took him was not the path they usually took after class.
He has been here before. This is the path in the old campus, and it is also the place where he fell and became a fool last semester.
The street lamps on the side of the road are quite old, and their light is faint, not as bright as the stars in the distant sky.
When the school was trying to catch puppy love a few days ago, teachers often came to patrol this area. Recently, the limelight has subsided, and not many people come to this road.
The coolness of the night penetrated little by little. Luo Zhiyu wrapped his school uniform jacket tightly and realized that Xiao Yan was right to stare at him before getting dressed. He didn’t know when it started. Xiao Yan liked to stare at him. Many small details in life.
The two high school boys walked step by step toward the living area under the flickering light.
“Did I hurt you just now?” Xiao Yan led Luo Zhiyu to avoid the abandoned sewer cover.
This is not Luo Zhiyu’s fault, it’s because he is too afraid to ask for it and not get it. He shouldn’t use pheromones to pressure Luo Zhiyu. The matching degree is zero, and it is also Alha’s pheromones. Luo Zhiyu may feel uncomfortable.
Like all alhas, he used more than ten years of socialization and education to hide his bad nature, but when he met Luo Zhiyu, all social civilization’s hiding of his nature was wiped out in an instant.
“That’s not the case. You don’t have to think it’s your fault.” Luo Zhiyu shook his head, “It’s just… a little surprising.”
It was like being hit on the head by an orange unexpectedly.
The last time Xiao Yan was so cruel to him was during the susceptible period that day, but that day it was pheromones and today it was humans.
He didn’t ask Xiao Yan why he took him on this path with special meaning. He was the one who tested it first today. He accepted Xiao Yan’s reaction unconditionally.
He vaguely felt that Xiao Yan had something to ask him, and he himself had something to ask, but the surroundings were too quiet, and there was no opportunity for them to speak.
This road is difficult to walk, but it does not take a long way. The time to return to the dormitory will not be delayed at all, and there is not much time left for the two of them to talk.
“I don’t want to be cruel to you.” As alha’s comfort to oga, Xiao Yan habitually patted Luo Zhiyu’s cheek twice.
“You can be mean to me, I don’t find you annoying.” Luo Zhiyu dismissed Xiao Yan’s words, “I said I asked for it.”
“That’s because I haven’t really been cruel to you.” Xiao Yan said, “You have grown so big that no one can bully you. I’m afraid you will hate me.”
“Speak as if you have never bullied me. Don’t think that I don’t know what a bad person you are for peeling an orange. You alhas…” That’s not right either. Luo Zhiyu shook his head in self-denial, “You are different from other alhas. I don’t mean pheromones.”
Luo Zhiyu stopped without warning and did not let go of Xiao Yan’s hand. Xiao Yan pulled away slightly without dragging him and stopped.
The little rascal only has a few minutes of patience.
“If you have something to say, ask it together.” Luo Zhiyu suggested, “In question and answer mode, don’t ask open-ended questions. Give two options. Only one word answer is allowed. No lying or questioning. If it doesn’t work, just have a fight. That’s the most efficient way.”
“That’s okay.” This was Luo Zhiyu’s problem-solving style, and it was also the most suitable way for them.
The single choice of “yes” or “no” seals all ambiguous interpretations from the outset.
“You asked me to give you a reason to come and wait for me to finish class every day.” Xiao Yan repeated the message Luo Zhiyu sent on WeChat more than ten minutes ago, “You didn’t say it casually, right?”
“Yes.” He didn’t say it casually, it was a spur of the moment intention.
After Luo Zhiyu answered, he asked his own question, “Are pheromones important to you?”
“No.” Xiao Yan shook his head. This question was too familiar. Luo Zhiyi looked for the answer to a question in a very similar way.
Luo Zhiyu asked so many people today and got so many answers. In the end, the one he liked the most was the single word “no” from Xiao Yan’s mouth.
The next question was Xiao Yan’s: “You were a gangster on purpose today, right? Yes or no?”
Luo Zhiyu: “…”
“Why do you say it so harshly? Why am I a gangster?” Luo Zhiyu didn’t follow the rules anymore. He took a step back and wanted to lean on the tree trunk on the side of the road to give himself some confidence, “I’m just going to try… ”
“What are you trying?” Xiao Yan asked tightly, “Please tell me the whole story.”
One refused to answer, and the other asked randomly. Both of them violated the rules.
“This is the last question.” Luo Zhiyu avoided the question, and at the same time turned his eyes away and looked away, “You can ask it after you think about it.”
“What should I do if I commit another foul?” Xiao Yan was more concerned about this.
“If I foul again, I’ll let you deal with it.” It was Luo Zhiyu who fouled first, but he ignored it.
“I’ll give you two options, and you answer one word, right?” Xiao Yan confirmed the rules of question and answer with him again.
“Yes, yes.” Luo Zhiyu was thinking about the problem, not the rules.
“Think about it.” There was dust on the tree trunk. Xiao Yan grabbed the front of Luo Zhiyu’s school uniform and pulled him back. Luo Zhiyu didn’t expect his move and almost hit him in the chest, “Zhizhi, you have to ask first ?”
A few vague questions set off the atmosphere just right. From the few words they said, they could guess each other’s thoughts bit by bit.
Luo Zhiyu seemed to be bewitched and asked the question he cared about most——
“Is Luo Zhiyu someone else?”
“Yes or no.”
This was the question he wanted to know the most, but it was a bit confusing when asked alone. Xiao Yan might not be able to understand what he was asking.
He wanted to continue talking and explain the root of the problem to Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan’s index finger gently pressed between his lips, blocking his unspoken addition.
“Do you want to add some explanation first, or do you want to listen to my question first?” Xiao Yan asked him, “It’s your choice.”
The words were blocked, and the man pretended to be kind and wanted to ask him about his choice. Luo Zhiyu opened his mouth dissatisfied and bit Xiao Yan’s fingertips: “Okay, you say.”
The old street lights could only illuminate a small semicircle under their feet. Luo Zhiyu followed Xiao Yan and stood in the orange light, suddenly feeling that there was no world outside the light.
“Luo Zhiyu.” Xiao Yan called his full name, “It’s my turn to ask you. According to the rules you set, you can only answer one word between the two options, otherwise it will be considered a foul.”
Luo Zhiyu hummed softly, waiting for Xiao Yan’s question.
“Stop asking if pheromones are suitable, just like me. ‘Good’ or ‘bad’?”
