Chapter 12 “Just go straight to his place.”

Shen Xingyan stiffened for a moment, then quickly pursed his lips.

He never expected Ji Jiangye, an alpha, to have pheromones that were sour and sweet.

He lazily stretched, then laid back on the table, deciding to ignore everything, thinking the world was vast, and sleeping was the best.

The first class was a C language programming class. The students, already drowsy, became even more tired under the spell of C language. They nodded off, and even the teacher shook his head helplessly.

As the bell rang for the end of the class, Chen Rui rubbed his eyes and tapped Shen Xingyan.

“Shen Xingyan.”

“Next is PE class.”

Shen Xingyan’s face was full of sleepiness, but upon hearing it was PE class, he perked up a bit. He raised his head, realizing that most of the students had already left the classroom.

“I’ll go find the junior first, meet at the usual place on the court later, Shen Xingyan.” Chen Rui threw the basketball he left behind towards Shen Xingyan.

Yawning, Shen Xingyan hugged the ball and was about to head downstairs. However, as he was leaving the classroom, he encountered the bold junior who had confessed to Ji Jiangye.

She kept peeking inside and was holding something in her hands.

Shen Xingyan wasn’t very interested in this, just took a glance and was about to leave.

“Senior!” a voice called out from behind him.

Shen Xingyan raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at her strangely but didn’t speak.

“Senior, is Ji Jiangye here?” The girl, wearing a school uniform, with long hair flowing behind her, seemed to have gathered courage to speak.

“Not here.”

The disappointment on the girl’s face was almost overflowing, and Shen Xingyan shook his head inwardly.

He considered himself very friendly and kindly advised her.

“Ji Jiangye seems like the kind of person who likes to perfectly replicate the appearance and demeanor of the school.”

The girl was stunned, and Shen Xingyan calmly walked downstairs.

The system appeared silently.

【Host, you’re deceiving a child.】

Shen Xingyan was in a good mood, bouncing the basketball in his hand, humming a tune.

“I’m not spreading rumors, just stating facts.”

The system snorted, reminding the host kindly even though he was gossiping without Ji Jiangye around, but then it added.

【Host, friendly reminder, small seedlings in the early stages need to be moistened daily.】

The smile on Shen Xingyan’s face instantly collapsed, and the ball in his hand fell on the stairs.

“Daily??!”

“What a joke!”

【It’s not a joke, dear host.】

The system’s voice had a slightly mischievous and gloating tone.

“F**king luck and Ji Jiangye!” Shen Xingyan’s face darkened, teeth itching with anger, but he couldn’t do anything about it. Just as he was about to step onto the last step, he coincidentally stepped on air, nearly falling down.

“Oh my god!” He grabbed the handrail, heart racing.

【The system suggests you don’t curse randomly.】

The consecutive “Oh” words from the system further fueled Shen Xingyan’s anger, but he dared not speak out, just walking down the stairs with his frustration, picking up the basketball again.

When he arrived at the playground, Chen Rui had also returned, with a silly smile on his face.

Annoyed, Shen Xingyan sneakily attacked from behind, throwing the basketball directly at Chen Rui’s back.

The basketball hit Chen Rui squarely, but he didn’t get angry. Instead, he happily picked up the ball again.

His smile made Shen Xingyan feel a bit uneasy, looking at him with disdain, “What are you laughing at?”

Chen Rui coughed a few times, walked over with the ball, and said, “She thanked me! And she said she’ll bring food to our class tomorrow!”

Seeing his lewd smile, Shen Xingyan couldn’t bear it anymore and directly turned his face away.

“Get lost, you’re giving me goosebumps.”

Others in the class crowded around.

“What’s going on, Chen Rui? Why are you smiling so creepily?”

“What’s going on? Is your face twitching?”

Chen Rui rubbed his face with both hands, deliberately suppressing his smile, “I was just thinking about something happy.”

Shen Xingyan didn’t bother to expose him. He found a shady spot under a tree, leaned against it, and sighed deeply, thinking about how to solve the problem of the sapling’s growth.

Before he could figure out what to do, he looked up and the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

The PE teacher, holding a whistle, looked at the students who were still restless and blew the whistle. “Alright, quiet down. The sports festival is next week, so you need to exercise well. Don’t embarrass me.”

The PE teacher’s name was Yu Yue, 27 years old, the only female PE teacher in the second year.

Teacher Chen Nengqiang sat in the stands, holding a tablet, looking at the students below through his sunglasses.

“Shen Xingyan!” Yu Yue frowned, hands on her hips, looking at the still lazy figure leaning against the tree.

“Get over here. You’re not going to win first place in the sports festival, then don’t tell anyone you’re my student.”

Shen Xingyan’s mind was full of how to solve the sapling’s growth problem, and Teacher  Yu Yue’s words went in one ear and out the other.

Just as he walked past Yu Yue, he could hear her sigh and mutter.

“He’s got such good conditions, it would be great if he joined the team.”

Shen Xingyan took his position in the line. Since the sports festival was next week, Teacher Yu Yue didn’t plan to do anything, just had everyone run a lap before letting them go.

Shen Xingyan, who was supposed to play basketball, had no interest at all. He lay on a seat next to the basketball court, looking peaceful.

The people playing basketball on the court couldn’t help but laugh.

“Wow, Shen Xingyan, you’re not leaving, are you?”

“Thank you.” Shen Xingyan opened his eyes, shielding the sunlight filtering through the leaves with his hand. “I’ve been gone for a while.”

“Come on, Shen Xingyan, let’s play a few rounds.” Lu Dian threw the basketball in his hand towards Shen Xingyan, a challenging smile on his face.

Shen Xingyan caught the ball, looked up at the crowd, a playful glint in his eyes. “Okay, let’s play a few rounds.”

After a class, those people had fallen down, and Chen Rui was laughing uncontrollably.

“Oh, you’re not holding back at all. Look, you’ve scared the people from the next class.”

“You, Dian, why pick on Shen Xingyan?”

This kind of calling him like a dog annoyed Lu Dian, but his basketball skills were indeed inferior to Shen Xingyan’s. He could only hold his ball and take his people back to the classroom.

Sweat soaked Shen Xingyan’s shirt. He used his hand to comb back the hair sticking to his forehead and snorted twice.

Who told him to provoke him when he was in a bad mood.

“Let’s go back to the classroom.”

After venting, Shen Xingyan felt refreshed. He hadn’t taken a few steps when the system spoke in a sinister tone.

【Host! Sapling!!】

“I know, I know, I know!” Shen Xingyan’s head was spinning.

A group of people walked back to the empty classroom. Shen Xingyan, feeling hot, grabbed his shirt and used a small fan to blow air from underneath. Several alphas in the class moved their noses, feeling a faint fragrance in the classroom.

Chen Rui noticed Shen Xingyan’s expression and threw his ice water at him, “What’s with that expression?”

“I want to find someone, but he’s not at school.” Shen Xingyan spoke vaguely.

“That’s easy, just go straight to his place.” Chen Rui finished the rest of his water, wiping his mouth comfortably.

“You don’t need to think about it. You forgot you climbed through my window in the middle of the night, pulled me out of bed.”
