After finishing the exam on Friday, he walked out of the lecture hall. Yue Fei said goodbye to his roommate and walked to the school gate by himself.
His home is close by so he often goes home on the weekends, so his roommates are used to it.
At the school gate, Yue Fei quickly saw Tang Yue's car.
Tang Yue also saw him, got out of the car and waved to him.
Yue Fei strode forward with his two feet, focusing on Tang Yue's direction, so he did not notice Jian Yi who walked out of the school gate at almost the same time as him.
He raised his hand and waved to Tang Yue, indicating that he saw him, but unexpectedly a familiar voice rang from his side.
"Your new boyfriend?" Jian Yi also looked at Tang Yue waiting by the car, with a slightly sour tone.
Yue Fei turned his head and saw that it was Jian Yi. After a second of confusion, he said inexplicably, "What's it to you?"
Jian Yi was being peculiar, and looked like he is willing to fight: "I thought you would at least find another alpha, but I didn't expect you to find a beta."
Yue Fei: "...He is an alpha."
Hearing these words, Jian Yi snorted: "Someone like him is an alpha?"
Yue Fei did not want to entangle with him any longer: "He is my friend, you are just my ex-boyfriend, whoever I make friends with has nothing to do with you; if you have the time to talk with me, it's better to use that time to care for Yin Xinchen instead."
Talking about betas, while he is a beta, and Jian Yi dared to look down on a beta in front of him, what was it with the act?
Jian Yi also pursed his lips and said nothing.
Tang Yue still did not know that he had been caught in the crossfires. He noticed that Yue Fei's expression was not right, and was about to step forward to help. By the time he realized this, however, Yue Fei had already made his over.
"Let's go back," Yue Fei got in through the car door Tang Yue opened.
Tang Yue let out an okay, and he glanced at the alpha student who was quietly watching on the side with a slight warning before getting in the driver seat.
Jian Yi also stood there, silently watching the car drive away, the black cake in his hand fell to the ground, and he expressionlessly turned to walk back to school.
In the past, after the exam, Yue Fei would be in a bad mood, and the black cake was the tacit comfort of the two. But now, the once tacit understanding has become his biggest embarrassment.
He could not understand why Yue Fei could be so decisive and determined. Could it be that all the affection in the past was all but an act?
In a relationship, the one who can't let go first is the loser. But in this relationship, Jian Yi could not accept that he would be the loser.
In the car, Tang Yue asked with concern: "Mr. Yue, did you have any trouble just now?"
Yue Fei: "It's nothing."
"That's good. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can tell me and I'll try my best to solve them for you." Tang Yue was very diligent.
Tang Yue actually recognized the person who stopped Yue Fei at the school gate, it was Yue Fei's cheating ex-boyfriend. He had read about it when investigating Yue Fei's related information, but they did nothing to see if Yue Fei would do anything that would put a green hat on his boss's head. Tang Yue could not say anything about his behavior, so he could only make a warning in the form of a proper statement.
"Hmm..." Yue Fei did not know the twists and turns in the other's head, but he just remembered what Jian Yi had just said, and he wanted to confirm it.
Tang Yue saw his hesitance: "Please do say what you want."
"Are you an alpha?" Yue Fei asked, uncertainty.
Tang Yue was taken aback: "...Yes. Why?"
Yue Fei: "Oh, it's nothing, I was just wondering."
Tang Yue looked quite puzzled, but Yue Fei had already turned his head to look out the window and did not intend to continue the conversation.
This alpha, who's faced no obstacles in life and stands at the peak of high society in the animal kingdom for many years, has no idea how he was just being scorned by the student alpha who did not know the sinister under belly of said society.
After sending Yue Fei back to the Nanwan Xiang District, Tang Yue left.
Yue Fei had not been here for a few days, so he felt a bit strange to be in this house. Fortunately, Aunt Chen had prepared the food in advance and left them at the table for him. Gu Wei was not here, and he had been alone for half an hour before getting familiar with the house.
After he finished eating, he washed the dishes and chopsticks easily, put the leftovers in the refrigerator, and Yue Fei returned to his room.
This time he brought back advanced mathematics textbooks. In order to not fail the final exam, he must work harder in his studies.
He found advanced math teaching videos on the internet, and began to review it with seriousness.
The desk in the bedroom was a bit short, Yue Fei felt a little uncomfortable on his neck after reading for a long time.
He turned on his phone and checked the time, unknowing to him, it was half past nine; but there was no sound at the door, Gu Wei had not returned.
He was going to have dinner with the Gu Family tomorrow. Yue Fei originally wanted to meet with Gu Wei in the evening to talk about it, but he did not expect the other man to come back so late.
After tidying up briefly, Yue Fei took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After he came out of the bath, Gu Wei still did not return.
It was now ten o'clock.
Yue Fei picked up the phone and sent a message to Tang Yue first.
Yue Fei: Does Mr. Gu have a socializing dinner today?
Tang Yue: Not that I know of. Today, another secretary is following Mr. Gu. What's the matter? I can help you ask.
Yue Fei: It's okay, it's not important enough to ask, thank you.
Tang Yue: You are welcome.
Yue Fei tapped his phone with his finger before walking to the table, he put down the towel in his hand to dry his hair, and directly sent a message to Gu Wei.
Yue Fei: Are you going to come back to the Nanwan Xiang District today?
Yue Fei finished two advanced math problems, before Gu Wei's message came through.
Gu Wei: A little later, what happened?
Yue Fei: Nothing. I just want to talk about the meeting with your family tomorrow.
Gu Wei: You just need to be yourself there tomorrow, and don't worry about others.
Yue Fei: Oh...
Glanced over at the advanced math textbook on his desk, Yue Fei waited for a while before sending another message.
Yue Fei: I want a study room.
Gu Wei did not reply for a long time.
When Yue Fei was about to fall asleep, the sound of opening and closing the door rang in the house, and his cell phone vibrated.
Gu Wei came back and replied to his message.
Yue Fei clicked to read it.
Gu Wei: Just tell Tang Yue.
Yue Fei scratched his head. He seemed to be taking up Gu Wei's time with trivial matters.
Yue Fei: Okay.
After replying to Gu Wei's message, Yue Fei put the phone back on the bedside table and closed his eyes to go back to sleep.
In his dream, Yue Fei fell into a rabbit hole, and the surrounding area was dark. He heard someone calling him, so he followed the voice.
He was walking when suddenly he stepped onto thin air, and his body fell. After a while, the world was filled with light. He fell from the entrance of the hole and saw the endless fields and lakes beneath him.
He fell onto the soft grass without sustaining any injuries, patted his pants and stood up.
"Welcome to my kingdom, from now on, you will be my subject."
A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Yue Fei remembered this was the voice that attracted him to go forward in the dark.
He turned around and saw a man wearing vintage bloomers. The man was holding a scepter in his hand, and his eyes were critical and contemptuous.
Yue Fei heard himself say: "I don't want to be your subject."
Hearing him say that, the man sneered. He took out a piece of paper out of nowhere and threw it on the grass in front of Yue Fei.
"In one hour, complete this exam. If you pass, I will send you out. If you fail, you will stay here forever as my slave."
Yue Fei looked down. There were dense advanced math problems written on the paper, and he suddenly felt desperate.
Two or three questions are okay. It would be too difficult for him to finish these twenty questions in one hour. How could he complete them?
"There are too many questions, your rule is unreasonable." Yue Fei protested.
The man took out a pocket watch from his chest, ignored Yue Fei's protest, and said indifferently: "Time has started."
Yue Fei could not do anything about it, he looked at the man and around him, he then compromised and said aggrieved: "At least give me a table!"
The man glanced at him: "Go ask Tang Yue."
Ding ding ding ding...
There was a ringing bell from the sky, when Yue Fei looked up, it was his alarm clock.
Darkness struck, and when Yue Fei woke up again, he opened his eyes looking into the empty ceiling.
There was no grass, no lake, and no man in bloomers.
He sighed wearily, Yue Fei lifted the quilt and got up, holding his head to recall the strange dream he just had.
Although it was kinda weird, the man who forced him to do advanced math problems in his dream seemed to be Gu Wei...
What kind of messy dreams are these, Yue Fei suddenly laughed, and Gu Wei in bloomers was too funny.
After getting dressed and walking out of his room, Aunt Chen had already cooked breakfast, Yue Fei walked over, and Gu Wei, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, glanced at him.
Looking at Gu Wei, Yue Fei remembered the weird dream he had and could not help but smile and greeted him: "You haven't gone to work yet?"
Gu Wei gave a hum.
Seeing the smile on the boy's face was too obvious, Gu Wei asked him: "In a good mood?"
Yue Fei: "It could be better, if you don't force me to do advanced math problems."
Gu Wei: "Huh?"
Yue Fei watched him sitting on the sofa as if he were not in a hurry, so he sat down on the sofa across from him and talked about the dream he had yesterday.
After listening to Yue Fei, Gu Wei grasped the key point: "You are not good at advanced math?"
Yue Fei: "...Yes."
"Tang Yue is a top 2 graduate student," Gu Wei said.
The meaning of this was that you can find Tang Yue if you need help.
He did not expect Tang Yue to be this intellectual. Yue Fei nodded his head understanding and said, "I will."
After chatting for a bit, Aunt Chen called Yue Fei from the kitchen, announcing that breakfast was ready.
Yue Fei got up: "Mr. Gu, have you had breakfast, let's eat together?"
Gu Wei looked at his watch, nodded in response, got up and walked to the dining table.
Yue Fei followed behind him.
Seeing that Gu Wei also stayed to eat, Aunt Chen was a little surprised, but she did not say anything. She prepared two more side dishes neatly.
"Mr. Gu, do you like Chinese or Western style breakfast? I can ask Aunt Chen to prepare more in the future." Yue Fei asked him.
Gu Wei: "Chinese style is fine."
Yue Fei automatically understood that Gu Wei prefers Chinese style over Western style: "Uh, I also like Chinese style, I've been eating it all my life."
Gu Wei nodded.
"Aunt Chen, why did you fry bitter gourd early in the morning?" Yue Fei noticed the unusual dazzling green on the table.
Aunt Chen wiped her hands with her apron and walked out of the kitchen: "Bitter gourd, doesn't Mr. Yue like to eat it? I made it specially for you, bitter gourd is good to cool down the body temperature."
Yue Fei titled his head, he likes to eat bitter gourd, why doesn't he know it?
Gu Wei glanced at him and was pleased by the doubt on the boy's face. The corners of his mouth curled up. After finishing the rice in his bowl, he put down his chopsticks: "I'm done, I'll go to the company first. Take your time eating."
Yue Fei was very consciously ready to get up to send the other man off when he heard those words, but Gu Wei stopped him by raising his hand.
So he could only nod his head and replied: "Okay, then have a good day at work, drive safely."
