Pheromones and The Scent of Connection Chapter 1

During the fifteen-minute break between classes, Nie Xingran leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed on the desk, and lowered his head slightly to concentrate on playing the game.

He had an earphone on one ear, and the game sound effects were deafening. Ming Ke could hear the sound even though he was sitting next to him. He continued typing and flirting with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to take off his earphone.

"Master, you are not afraid of going deaf. The get out of class is over. Why are you still wearing headphones?"

Nie Xingran moved his legs, "Hang it up, hurry up."

Ming Ke snorted, "I won't hang up..."

Nie Xingran decisively kicked him in the direction he was headed, his eyes still fixed on the phone screen, "Humph, you motherFcuker."

Ming Ke quickly dodged and shouted, "Nie Xingran, can you be more like an omega! Stop kicking me... You're still kicking me, Fcuk, game, game, you lost, play your own game."

Nie Xingran was distracted by the kicks and the character was already dead. He raised his head and looked at Ming Ke.

The boy was still young, only seventeen years old. Although his face was incredibly handsome, there was still a very obvious childishness between his brows, or in other words, his eyes were clean and clear, dark without a trace of impurities, and when he looked at people coldly, it could make people's hearts skip a beat.

Ming Ke has known this young master for more than five years. Even after all these years, his heart still flutters when he suddenly looks into his eyes.

Nie Xingran raised the corner of his lips and said sarcastically, "I don't look like an omega, do you?"

Ming Ke's heart stopped beating and he sighed, "I was just a little bit away from falling in love with you again."

Nie Xingran took the earphones back, put them on his ears, and said, "Get lost."

"With such a bad temper, which alpha would dare to want you?" Ming Ke said angrily, holding his phone again, "My wife is still the cutest. Look at her little face, cherry lips, big eyes, and her legs..."

Nie Xingran also put on the other earphone, otherwise he was afraid that if he heard Ming Ke talking again, he would not be able to help but beat him to death.

Halfway through the break, many students returned to the classroom. Four or five boys from other classes followed them in. They were the ones who usually played with Ming Ke.

"Ming brother."

Ming Ke took the time to look up and said, "What's the matter? I'm not free tonight. I won't play games with you."

The leading boy responded with a hesitant expression. After responding, he did not leave and just stood in front of Nie Xingran's seat.

"What's wrong?" Ming Ke smiled, "I really have something to do tonight, I'm going to date a girl, I'll take care of you guys tomorrow."

The boy also smiled, nodded repeatedly, exhaled, and looked at Nie Xingran who was playing games with his head down. He was very hesitant and a little embarrassed.

Ming Ke understood. Although these guys were trying to get close to Nie Xingran in order to have fun with him, he was not a stingy person. He waved his hand and said, "I'll call Xingran tomorrow."

The boy felt even more embarrassed and touched his nose, but he couldn't say anything. He had only heard it from one ear and maybe Nie Xingran didn't care at all. If he didn't appreciate it and they tried to please him, it would not look good if they told others about it.

"Okay, see you then, Brother Ming."

"Um."

After they walked away, the boy's friend whispered, "Why didn't you say anything? This is so perverted."

"What do you mean?" the boy lowered his voice, "Go and tell me."

"Hey, Nie Xingran is too cold. I don't know how to talk to him."

"After all, he is the director's son. If my father was also the director, I wouldn't play with you guys."

"That's not necessarily true. You're not good-looking."

"roll roll roll..."

Ming Ke looked back and muttered, "What are they doing? They are talking nonsense."

He patted Nie Xingran's leg and said, "Hey, we're going to play online games tomorrow night. I just told them to invite you along. Give them some face."

Nie Xingran: "Get your hands off."

Ming Ke took his hand away, "Face!"

Nie Xingran manipulated the character and snorted, "If you let my grandma hold her birthday on another day, I'll give you face."

Ming Ke was surprised, "Is it your grandma's birthday again?"

"What do you mean again? It's only twice a year, okay?" Nie Xingran said lazily, but his eyes turned cold. "If she hears it, she will be unhappy."

Ming Ke shrugged. "I haven't even met her."

"So you're not coming back tomorrow night?"

"Um."

"When are you going? Has your dad sent someone to pick you up? It's about a three-hour drive..."

Nie Xingran was annoyed by his noise and couldn't hear the game sound, "Shut up, I'll go by myself."

Ming Ke: "One last question, when are you going?"

"Two o'clock."

Dead, Nie Xingran sighed. Just then the bell for class rang. He threw his phone into his desk pocket, stood up, and said, "I'm going back to the dormitory."

"Okay, I'll bring you takeout after school."

"No takeout."

Ming Ke also turned off his phone, put it in his trouser pocket, and sighed, "Master, you won't grow tall if you are picky about food."

Nie Xingran retorted with his words, "Omegas are too tall and no one wants them."

Ming Ke slammed the table, "Who dares! Our little Xingran is so pretty! If no one wants her, I will sacrifice my own happiness!"

Nie Xingran looked at him.

"Hey, what are you looking at me for? Hurry up and leave. The teacher will be here soon."

Nie Xingran left through the back door.

At five o'clock, after school, Ming Ke called a little brother and went out of the school to find a restaurant. Young Master Nie was very picky and didn't want to eat anything he had eaten twice, so he had to go to a distant place to buy it.

Younger brother: "Brother Ming, do you think our rate of returning attention is a bit high today?"

Ming Ke lowered his head and asked, "Really? It's worth the whitening mask I applied at noon."

The younger brother immediately said: "No need to apply, Brother Ming, you are as beautiful as a fairy."

Ming Ke laughed so hard that he kicked his little brother lightly, "Can you Fcuking talk? I'm an alpha."

"Handsome! Handsome!" The younger brother smiled and hid to the side, "I have been coaxing my girlfriend these past two days, and she said she was gone."

Ming Ke raised his eyebrows with interest, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

I was a little embarrassed, "Yeah, it's just too fierce."

Ming Ke patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Those who are fierce are good-looking. Look at your brother Xingran. Isn't he very good-looking..."

"Brother Ming, I think you'd better stop talking about Brother Xingran."

"What are you afraid of? He's not here. I'm telling you, I'll just look for fierce guys in the future. The fiercer they are, the more I love them..."

When Ming Ke pushed open the door of Nie Xingran's dormitory with bags of food, he was still sleeping. He was lying on his stomach like a sleeping child, with his face slightly pouting. His long eyelashes drooped at the corners of his eyes. The sleeping Nie Xingran looked like an angel.

No, more beautiful than an angel.

Ming Ke bent down and took a closer look, and couldn't help but sigh that the skin was so good, better than his little cousin's.

"If we weren't so familiar with each other, I would have attacked you."

Nie Xingran raised his eyes, "Who did you attack?"

"Fcuk!" Ming Ke was shocked. "You're awake! Why didn't you open your eyes earlier? You scared me to death."

Nie Xingran sat up, looking a little gloomy, "I'm not awake yet, you stink."

Ming Ke sniffed his clothes and said, "Smells good."

"Pheromones, stupid."

"...I just sprayed it." Ming Ke moved a little further away. "This is not a solution. You can still smell it even if you spray the odor blocker. It will be too dangerous when it comes to estrus."

Nie Xingran sat down at the table, opened his lunch box and started eating. "It's summer vacation now, so I can just stay in the house and not go out."

He ate a piece of pork belly and nodded like a prince, "This one is good."

Nie Xingran, who had just woken up, was not so cold and was easier to talk to. Ming Ke found a stool to sit on, "Of course, I ran a long way."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Ming Ke smiled, "Where are we going to play tonight?"

Nie Xingran: "Evening self-study."

Ming Ke made a bitter face, "Okay."

After dinner, Nie Xingran still wanted to sleep, but there was a knock on the dormitory door. "Master Nie, are you there?"

Ming Ke immediately frowned in displeasure, "I'm so fed up with this Li Zheng, what a fool he is."

Nie Xingran sneered, "Isn't it you who takes everything?"

"What you're saying is just like me collecting Concub!nes..." Ming Ke went to open the door, "What are you doing?"

Li Zheng saw Nie Xingran inside and said, "Master."

Ming Ke: "Are you the Fcuking butler? Young master, call me Brother Xingran." The servants didn't say that because they were giving him face.

Li Zheng put his arm around Ming Ke's shoulder and said, "I think Young Master sounds nice."

There were four boys behind him, the ones who came in to look for Ming Ke during the break. Six alphas filled the dormitory. Nie Xingran crossed his legs on the table and lowered his eyes coldly.

Ming Ke opened all the windows and doors, "If you have anything to say, please speak quickly. There is no air circulation."

We must not let outsiders know that Nie Xingran is sensitive to pheromones, otherwise some disgusting person might use pheromones to suppress him by force.

Nie Xingran was surrounded by the pheromones of so many people, and he became extremely irritable. His face became increasingly cold, and he casually picked up Ming Ke's mobile phone that had been placed on the table and started playing with it.

"Brother Xingran." The boy scratched his head hesitantly during the break, "Do you know that there is a boy in Class 2 who likes you?"

"It's spread all over the place that he..."

Ming Ke interrupted him, "That's all? Okay, okay, go back."

The boy glanced at Nie Xingran, who still had his head down, unable to tell what he was feeling. He couldn't help but get anxious, "No, he wrote a diary. I'm not too sure, but I heard from people in his class that it was about Brother Xingran."

Ming Ke raised his eyebrows, "What did he write?"

The boy looked at Nie Xingran again tentatively. He stopped turning his phone and raised his face slightly. His bangs had grown a little longer, covering a little of his eyes. His expression was very light, and his lips were a little sharp, but the color looked very nice...

"I'm asking you, what did you write?" Nie Xingran said unhappily.

The boy came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "It's about seeing you at a certain place, at a certain time, and seeing what you eat and what clothes you wear..."

Li Zheng snorted, "Disgusting, perverted."

The tall boy sitting behind him laughed contemptuously and echoed, "Exactly. I've never seen such a thing before. Anyone can like Master Nie? They have no self-awareness at all."

Ming Ke ignored them both. "Is there anything else? How did he get discovered when he wrote this?"

"I heard that the group leader was collecting homework and he was not there, so I looked through the drawer and saw it." The boy said: "There was a lot of writing, and everyone in the class passed it around and read it. Now many people outside are talking about it."

Ming Ke: "What's his name?"

Boy: "Xing Zhou."

Ming Ke was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Oh... A thousand sails pass by the side of the boat, this name is quite poetic."

Boy: "...Ahem."

Nie Xingran put down one leg and kicked Ming Ke's stool. "Stupid, it's like a sinking boat with thousands of sails passing by."

Ming Ke pulled the chair that had been kicked crooked and said, "What a crappy name."

"What's he like?"

"He's nothing special, just a nouveau riche's son, who is very good at acting cute. Girls and teachers like him." Li Zheng snorted, his expression mocking, "He's an underdeveloped little piece of trash. He doesn't even need to be sprayed with odor blockers with weak pheromones. I don't like him anyway."

Ming Ke asked Nie Xingran, "Educate me?"

Nie Xingran returned to her previous indifferent appearance, flipping through her phone out of boredom, as if she didn't even listen to what they said next, and she didn't even bother to show disgust in her beautiful eyes.

"It's a bit disgusting. He writes a diary, which means he has been observing you. I don't know what kind of dirty thoughts are in his mind." Ming Ke thought more and more, "Beat him up."

Nie Xingran put down his legs. After hearing what he said, he seemed to have thought of something, "Let's fight in the toilet."

Beating someone in the toilet is the most undignified thing to do; that place is smelly and dirty.

Ming Ke snapped his fingers, "Okay."
