The alpha from the adjacent class couldn’t help but poke one of the students from Class Three, asking, “Wait, what’s wrong with your class’s Jiang She?”

Dai Wenjian, quick to speak, replied, “Ah, it’s nothing, just a little… heat.”

A wave of astonished gasps spread through the adjacent class.

One student from the class next door stretched his neck, unable to see the details, so he asked the adjacent class, “What’s going on? Who’s with who?”

The student from the adjacent class answered, “Jiang She from Class Three and his class monitor… they’re in heat.”

“Wait, how could they be in heat?”

“The rain washed off the suppressants.”

“What? Aren’t they both alphas?”

“Yeah… that’s something to think about.”

And so, the word spread across the classes. The entire sports field was instantly in uproar. Some students, who loved to stir things up, even started whistling.

Chu Tao’s chest heaved, his face flushed red. As Jiang She leaned closer to him, it became even harder for him to control himself. He couldn’t help but tightly grip Jiang She’s hand.

Jiang She rubbed his forearm against Chu Tao’s waist, his neck burning with heat as his blood surged, “Don’t fight it, if you keep resisting, I won’t be able to control myself!”

Chu Tao gritted his teeth, trying to breathe in Jiang She’s pheromones while muttering, “Are you… controlling yourself now?”

Jiang She shamelessly replied, “No.”

Chu Tao: “……”

The rain slid from his hair and down his face, dripping into his collar. After a brief cool sensation, it was replaced by the stifling heat of the rain.

Chu Tao’s eyelashes were wet with raindrops, and when they fluttered, the water slid into his eyes, making them sting.

His uniform was half-dry, half-wet, and the color had shifted from dry blue and white to a deep blue-green.

In the midst of his struggle, the zipper of Chu Tao’s school uniform slipped off, and his collar wrinkled, making him look a bit disheveled.

Jiang She wasn’t much better. He pressed his lips together to avoid accidentally biting Chu Tao’s gland.

If that happened, the situation would definitely escalate.

Yang Liu hurriedly ran from behind, but she was wearing high heels and couldn’t run fast. The rubber granules on the track had worn off in places, and they were now like slippery little beads. Yang Liu lost her footing and fell to the ground in a mess.

Chaos erupted behind Class Three. Some students helped her up, some were talking, some were egging them on, and others had broken away from their class groups to watch the drama unfold. It was a complete scene of pandemonium.

Chu Tao quickly fumbled in his pocket for the suppressant, his fingers trembling as he sprayed it onto his neck.

The suppressant mixed with the rainwater, but it slid right off his skin as soon as it touched.

But it worked a little.

Jiang She became a lot clearer, and the grip around Chu Tao’s waist wasn’t as tight as it had been before.

Chu Tao panted heavily, “Damn it, hurry up and spray! I can still smell it!”

His own pheromones wouldn’t affect Jiang She anymore, but Jiang She’s still had an impact on him.

In a little while, maybe he would be the one clinging to Jiang She.

Jiang She finally snapped out of it and reached for his suppressant too.

But his pockets were empty.

Jiang She: “Damn it, I left it in the classroom!”

Chu Tao: “……”

Chu Tao sprayed suppressant frantically on himself, also spraying it on Jiang She in the process.

“Don’t get near me, run, run far away, don’t let me smell it!”

Jiang She’s head was buzzing. He forced himself to release Chu Tao and tried to run back to the classroom.

The suppressant Chu Tao had just sprayed was washed away, and his clothes were thoroughly soaked, sticking to his skin in a sticky mess.

Noticing the fading scent of Jiang She’s pheromones, Chu Tao was momentarily dazed, unable to resist chasing after him.

He really wanted to bite him, just one bite.

Jiang She was fanning his burning neck with his hand while shouting back to Chu Tao, “Baby, control yourself, stop chasing me!”

Chu Tao trembled and shouted, “You, hurry up and run!”

Jiang She laughed, “Our speed is about the same, right?”

Chu Tao shouted back, “No more talking!”

Jiang She called back, “What if I want to look back!”

Chu Tao snapped, “No! Get back to the classroom and spray the suppressant!”

And so, Jiang She led the way, Chu Tao followed, both of them sprinting from the back of the classroom to the front, across the playground, past the podium, and finally into the teaching building, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

The students of Class Three watched with a mix of complicated admiration as the usually nonchalant class leader, now seriously engaged, chased and frolicked in the rain.

Rebellious, yet romantic.

Fang Sheng muttered, “So this is what love is, huh? It’s really unbelievable.”

Xu Yuan said, “My brother’s gone mad, and the class leader’s gone mad, all on the day of the pledge ceremony.”

Yang Liu staggered to her feet, shouting in a high-pitched voice, “You two, stop right there!”

“Stop running!”

“Catch up to them!”

Principal Ji, on the podium, stood there with his sparse and soaking wet hair, his lips trembling as he passionately declared, “The meeting is dismissed! Take cover from the rain!”

The hundred-day pledge ceremony ended in a rather anticlimactic and ridiculous scene.

Principal Ji dragged Jiang She and Chu Tao into the principal’s office, where he angrily scolded them. Fearing that the incident would disrupt their studies, he didn’t impose any punishment and let them go.

Soon, the passionate scene on the playground spread throughout the entire school.

Posts on the school forum shifted from complaints about the director of moral education and broken windows at the security office to juicy gossip.

#818 The stories of Class Three’s school tyrant and top student#
#Anyone know the inside story? Is it true about Jiang She and Chu Tao?#
#Holy crap! I’m stunned! New gossip, go check it out!#

The post with the most comments was titled “New Gossip, Check It Out!” and that shocking headline really drew attention.

It was said that an insider, risking being silenced by Jiang She, revealed the details:

OP: “The rumors about Class Three’s big shot and the top student Chu Tao are true! Honestly, Chu Tao is really good-looking. The big shot had his eye on him since the start of their first year. Chu Tao was a late bloomer, and when they got together, he didn’t know he was an alpha, so he always thought he was an omega. But then he unexpectedly became an alpha, and by that point, it was too late. Jiang She couldn’t do anything about it and used his family connections to transfer Chu Tao to Class Three. They’ve been together for almost three years now…”

Post 7: “What? No way, are they really not going to fight? Their pheromones repel each other—can Chu Tao handle it?”

OP replies: “You probably don’t know that Class Three’s class leader’s fighting abilities are just as strong as Jiang She’s! Remember when they had that fight with the vocational high school’s big shot in that little alley? It was actually Chu Tao who did the fighting and won. Officially, they said it was Jiang She because Chu Tao is the class leader and it wouldn’t look good if he was involved in a street fight.”

Post 12: “Holy crap! I had no idea! I always thought the class leader was delicate and graceful, but didn’t realize his fighting skills were so high!”

OP replies: “Heh, so you didn’t know that’s why Su Jingtong likes Chu Tao? Su Jingtong is into big shot types, you didn’t know that?”

Post 18: “Uh… didn’t Su Jingtong used to like Jiang She? Isn’t it awkward now that Jiang She and Chu Tao are together?”

OP replies: “It’s awkward, but it’s one of the top ten legendary events at Huainan No. 1 High. Su Jingtong only likes big shot types, like Jiang She and Liang Yitian.”

Post 21: “Uh… I don’t think Liang Yitian is on the same level as Jiang She.”

OP replies: “Why not? Liang Yitian is awesome, okay?”

Post 26: “But I heard from a rumor in the neighboring post that Jiang She and Chu Tao are together to get closer to Chu Xingning, and Chu Tao is just second choice.”

OP replies: “That’s just a rumor. I already said Jiang She fell in love with Chu Tao at first sight, it has nothing to do with Chu Xingning.”

…

The post was soon pinned, and many people believed what the OP had said without question.

Worried about the negative impact, the school urgently tried to delete the post and track down the poster.

Soon, through the IP address, they identified the poster as Liang Yitian.

Liang Yitian was then scolded by the class teacher, and, looking defeated, he deactivated his account.
