let me smell the pheromones

Lin Pei smiled easily, without any hold back.

Song Xun should have been happy, but when he recalled the scene at that time, his heart was heavy and he couldn't say a word.

In the next few days, Lin Pei, as Song Xun had wished, rarely looked at him extraneously except for normal greetings and chats.

Even though the two of them were sitting side by side for tutoring, with their elbows moved an inch away, Song Xun never heard his redundant inner voice, nor did he hear the familiar "little idiot" again.

When Song Xun and Lin Pei had an awkward dispute, Zhang Yun and the others immediately noticed it.

The atmosphere between the two of them is always very unique, sometimes they are clearly tit-for-tat, but also reveal an ambiguous meaning; sometimes they are polite and superficially familiar, but the words 'keep a distance' are written all over their gestures.

It's like swimming in the lake. When it floats, the sky explodes and the earth cracks, and when it's calm, there will be a little ripple. It's wonderful to watch.

Looking at Song Xun's expression, Zhang Yun didn't dare to ask, but Chen Chao asked quietly, Song Xun only said that we were all friends, and they understood after saying this.

In this posture, Lin Pei probably let go first.

"Then what do you two plan to do in the future?" Super Chen said in a low voice, "This is someone who looks down and doesn't look up, and you two are neighbors. Auntie likes him a lot, right?"

Song Xun still said vaguely, "Just...be friends."

Can we still be friends?Lin Pei doesn't look like this kind of person...

Chen Chao reckoned that this should be his own idea, but they couldn't control the matter between these two people, and they couldn't control it, so they simply kept their mouths shut.

However, the facts proved that Chen Chao's idea was correct.

About two days later, Lin Pei finished correcting Song Xun's homework, and suddenly said: "I have a competition in the second half of the year, and I will specialize in Mathematics Olympiad, so I may not be able to take you with me in tutoring. But you don't have to worry, I told the class teacher that when you transfer to Cai Xueming, I will take care of the handover with him."

Song Xun hummed, but he didn't react with confusion, surprise or anger as Lin Pei imagined.

When it was almost over, he covered the cap of the pen, put it in Lin Pei's pencil case, and asked casually, "Will you come to our house for dinner tonight?"

Lin Pei opened the calendar and glanced, "Maybe I don't have time... I have a study task arranged for tonight, next time."

Next time.

The internationally accepted sentence pattern, even a three-year-old child can understand it politely.

"That's fine. I'll put it in an insulated bucket and deliver it to you." Song Xun seemed to not understand the tone of his words, "You remember to eat it while it's hot, and I won't disturb your study."

"..." Lin Pei was silent for a long time, "I'm the one who bothered you."

Song Xun waved his hand, "It's okay, anyway, my parents are very busy, so you can disturb me as you like."

Lin Pei: "..."

Why is this idiot so thick-skinned all of a sudden?

Song Xun suddenly smiled, but quickly blocked it with his fist, "Okay, remember to open the door for me when you turn around. If you don't let you drink that soup today, my mother can hang me on a telegraph pole for a while." Su, believe it or not?"

"……Is it so exaggerated?"

He muttered, but thought that it was Aunt Wen's kindness after all, and it had nothing to do with Song Xun, so he didn't refuse.

Before leaving, Lin Pei handed back the pen Song Xun had used.

"You keep writing with this pen."

He lowered his eyelids and said softly, "I don't usually use this pen very much, so I'll give it to you."

He slightly moved the palm of his hand forward, and the fountain pen with a transparent pen tube was lying in his palm, and his porcelain-like skin was somewhat indifferent and alienated.

Song Xun's hand hung by his side for a long time, and he slowly took it, waved it in front of his eyes, and then put it in his coat pocket.

"Just right, I'm almost out of water for writing this one, and it's too embarrassing to think about returning it to you." He said lightly, "I'll give you a better one next time."

"Ah I……"

Lin Pei wanted to say that he didn't mean that, but before he finished speaking, Song Xun casually threw his schoolbag on his shoulder and walked away quickly.

Lin Pei frowned gradually.

In this way, what I borrowed from you and repaid, won't it be forever unclear?

Forget it, maybe he just said it casually, it's just a fountain pen, who would take it to heart... Maybe it's the same as giving soup, don't be too sentimental.

Lin Pei sighed, casually put the mobile phone in his pocket, and went to an appointment with a good friend.

·

The last time he told Chris about his brother in the swimming department, he thought that Chris would agree with him full of expectations, but unexpectedly, he met with strong resistance from the other party.

"Forget it." He said, "I don't want to touch a good woman! You know, I'm a super-faced dog. I can't walk when I see a handsome guy, and listen to you , that person is still my ideal type, so I can't even touch him!! What if it's not suitable to break up in the future, what should I do..."

Lin Pei didn't quite understand his logic, but he understood it. Chris himself is a timid person who is afraid of getting hurt, so he is more open about this kind of thing. As long as he doesn't talk about feelings with him, he can lie to anything. easy to say.

"However, if you want to go, I can also accompany you, just to accompany you to relax, and help you find a handsome guy by the way."

Chris patted him on the shoulder and made a thumbs up gesture from a good brother, "Actually, I'm quite surprised. My interest in a handsome guy can only last for three days at most, and you can like him for so long..."

He clicked his tongue several times before sighing, "You are so innocent."

Lin Pei rolled his eyes, "A little virgin has no right to say good things about me?"

"Don't drag me into the water if you are broken in love." Chris pouted, and pushed his arm again, "How about we go have a cup of milk tea?"

Milk tea is the code name they set for Zhou Chengsen.

"No, no, no."

As soon as Lin Pei thought of the word milk tea, he thought of the embarrassing scene of being caught by Song Xun that day. Every pore on his body was filled with rejection, "Thank you for the shadow, Zhou Chengsen ptsd will be required soon."

"...You're so useless!!"

Chris groaned, and poked him on the head bitterly, "I managed to squeeze through the crowd to get a sense of presence, and they also took the initiative to ask you for WeChat, what are you talking about ptsd with me now?! I If you don’t listen, I won’t listen!!”

"...Wait," Lin Pei was stunned, "What WeChat?"

"Huh? Don't you know?" Chris looked at him suspiciously, "A few days ago I went to his milk tea shop to order a cup of your favorite cheese green mist. He really remembered you and asked you how I didn’t come. I said you were not feeling well recently, so I asked me to come and buy a cup for you. Then he really came to ask me for your WeChat account, but you didn’t add him for several days... I wanted to ask you about this just now !!"

"???"

And such a thing?

Lin Pei opened WeChat in an instant, and looked at the recent additions. Sure enough, there was an application that he rejected.

It was already five days ago.

"..."

Lin Pei finally remembered that Song Xun had to send a message every day to check whether he had been deleted again because of being blocked by him, which made him lose his temper. At this time, a friend request without verification came suddenly. He thought it was Song Xun's prank, so he turned him down vigilantly.

So it was Zhou Chengsen...? !

He clicked on the other party's business card again and saw that the WeChat name was cypress (cypress tree), and the profile picture was a cat, holding it in his arms with a slender and beautiful arm and rubbing his head.

It was also in line with Zhou Chengsen's impression.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Chris looked at his screen sympathetically, "Zhou Chengsen probably thought you would remember him, right? I didn't write a note on purpose, just waiting for you to find out that it was him and pass it smoothly. I didn't expect you to kill flowers directly It's..."

"I didn't mean it either. How would I know if he didn't make a note?"

With a guilty look on his face, Lin Pei quickly sent the other party a friend request.

Ding dong.

A brand new chat box pops up on the page.

[You have become friends with cypress]

Lin Pei: "..."

Is it that fast?

Flickered.

"Wow, he's so fast. Maybe he's been waiting for you to find out his identity. He's always paying attention to WeChat messages while whipping cream. As soon as you see it, you immediately click pass..."

Chris couldn't help puffing up his little hands.

"...Stop booing, it's not so exaggerated."

Lin Pei's scalp tingled slightly, and he quickly sent an apology.

[Before I thought you were a small advertisement so I didn't pass, sorry sorry. ]

Zhou Chengsen replied quickly.

[It's okay, I forgot to make a note.I had already applied for it when I discovered it, and I wanted to remark it again, but I was worried that you would have a bad impression. ]

"Wow," Chris was about to nod after reading a sentence, and was very satisfied with this friend-in-law, "I think he's pretty nice and polite."

Unlike Song Xun, his nostrils turned upside down every time he saw him.

Lin Pei did not respond.

For him, there are too many people who have given him so much attention, and Zhou Chengsen is just an ordinary member among them. Although he has a good personality, he is not outstanding - at least looking at it now, it is true.

While he was in a daze, Zhou Chengsen sent another message.

[I heard from Chris that you are very tired and busy recently, so I will not bother you. Next time you are free, I will treat you to milk tea^^]

"have a look!!"

Chris almost stepped on the counter with his palms clapping, "He is so considerate, knowing that the chat was awkward at the beginning, and he didn't force you to go back to him, but just casually made an appointment for the next milk tea, But the next initiative is yours! There are not many such gentle and lovely boys, you must cherish them!!"

Chris treats Zhou Chengsen like a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and she is very satisfied everywhere. The energy is even more exaggerated than that of Wang Po's selling melons.Lin Pei was tortured by him for a long time, and his ears were almost callused, so he finally agreed to ask Zhou Chengsen to go out and get along with him after the friendship in the swimming club was over.

Thinking about it carefully, during this period of time he has to prepare for the cultural evening, go to the swimming club to deal with the poor senior who has a crush on him, and try to develop with Zhou Chengsen, he is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, and the intersection with Song Xun is also very difficult. It will become less and less.

Lin Pei stepped on the almost pitch-black path, and the dim yellow light of the street lamp circled his shadow round and round.

When I got home, my aunt was already asleep.

He stepped up the steps and was about to slide the combination lock when he kicked something on his toes and made a bang.

Lin Pei looked down and saw a pink thermos bucket, wearing a thick thermos bag, squatting quietly at the gate of their house.

A few hours later, the simmered winter melon pork ribs soup was still warm under layers of protection, and it was not completely cooled.
