Straight Man A Was Labeled As Fake A. - Chapter 4

Lu Yingchi’s eyes flickered, and he pulled his hand back. “Ah, Brother Jian, your hands are truly soft.”

Jian Song scoffed, looking proud. “Of course. You have not seen who you are dealing with.”

Lu Yingchi watched as Jian Song held his head high, unable to stop himself from chuckling. He was truly interesting.

After the teacher entered, he glanced at the class and nodded with satisfaction. It was relatively quiet. “Alright, let us check the headcount and prepare for PE class.”

The moment PE was mentioned, the cheers were loud enough to nearly blow the roof off the school. The PE teacher smiled helplessly. “Alright, alright, sit down so I can take attendance.”

Jian Song looked visibly excited; he was already gripping his basketball before he even sat down. Lu Yingchi caught the movement and chuckled silently.

Once attendance was taken, the teacher waved his hand, signaling them to head out. Lu Yingchi had intended to follow Jian Song, but Jian Song and Jiang Qi bolted like they were running on fire, their arms draped over each other’s shoulders. Lu Yingchi was a step too slow and could only catch the tail end of their pheromone trail.

Although Lu Yingchi was a transfer student, his reputation had long preceded him. As he stood there for a few seconds, he became the target of a few lovestruck Omegas who began creeping toward him.

Before they could even get close, Lu Yingchi caught the scent of their pheromones. He wrinkled his nose in discomfort; he found himself missing the scent of Jian Song’s chocolate pheromones.

“Student Lu, would you like to go to PE class together?”

A soft, delicate voice sounded by his ear. Lu Yingchi glanced sideways and rejected the offer coldly. “No thanks. The school prohibits early dating.”

The Omega was speechless. They were in college; who cared about that? The student wanted to say more, but realized Lu Yingchi had already walked away. The Omega bit their lip in frustration.

By the time everyone reached the playground, Lu Yingchi had finally arrived at a leisurely pace. Jian Song raised an eyebrow. This newcomer clearly did not know how strict the PE teacher could be.

Sure enough, the teacher frowned when he saw someone strolling into the formation just as the bell rang. He opened his mouth to snap at him, but upon seeing Lu Yingchi’s face, he hesitated, his anger dissipating instantly. The teacher coughed a few times to quiet the noisy students. “Alright, spread out and start your warm-ups.”

Jian Song’s eyes went wide. He had been punished with extra laps for being late last time. How could the teacher let Lu Yingchi off so easily? Jian Song could not believe his eyes; it was a devastating blow to his fragile heart. Teacher, oh teacher, to think you have such a double standard! Jian Song gritted his teeth. This Lu Yingchi!

Since Lu Yingchi was a new transfer, there was no spot for him, so he had to stand at the end of the last row. Coincidentally, that spot used to be Jian Song’s, but after the shuffle, it became Lu Yingchi’s. Jian Song watched Lu Yingchi stand beside him, raised an eyebrow, and gave him an up-and-down look before turning his gaze away.

Once Jian Song looked away, Lu Yingchi turned his eyes to him. Jian Song was slightly shorter than Lu Yingchi; at their current standing height, Jian Song only reached Lu Yingchi’s ear. Lu Yingchi curved his lips; this height was exactly to his liking.

After the warm-ups, the teacher dismissed the class. Jian Song grabbed his basketball and hailed his lackeys. “Anyone want to play basketball?”

Jiang Qi shook his finger. “Brother Jian, I am going to spend some quality time with my wife. Go play by yourself.”

Jian Song’s head filled with question marks. He stepped forward in disbelief. “You? Have a wife? Since when? How come I do not know about this?”

Jiang Qi chuckled. “You do know. How could you not know?”

Seeing the look on Jiang Qi’s face, Jian Song understood. “You brat, get out of here, get lost!”

Jiang Qi had a crush on an Omega, but they were worlds apart; the Omega was a top-tier student with impeccable character. It remained to be seen if Jiang Qi could actually win the heart of such a prize.

Jian Song sighed. “Another day of independence for me.”

Lu Yingchi, who was nearby, chimed in, “Brother Jian, are you playing alone?”

Jian Song looked back and realized he had to tilt his head slightly to meet Lu Yingchi’s gaze. After feeling a surge of jealousy over the height difference, he replied, “Yeah, what about it?”

Lu Yingchi smiled slightly. “If you do not mind, take me with you. I do not have anything else to do right now.”

Jian Song raised an eyebrow, holding the ball as he sized Lu Yingchi up. “Fine. You look tall enough and your build is not bad. Come on, follow me.”

Lu Yingchi bent his lips. “Thank you, Brother Jian, for the opportunity.”

Lu Yingchi was a master of sweet talk. Combined with a face that was exactly Jian Song’s type, Jian Song could not handle it when he smiled. He coughed, stammering slightly. “Fine, fine. Why are you smiling at nothing?”

Seeing Jian Song’s ears turn red, Lu Yingchi’s smile grew even wider. So, Jian Song gets shy whenever he sees me smile? How cute.

Jian Song walked in front, humming a tune because his mood always improved during PE class. Lu Yingchi, who had keen hearing, caught every note, and found his own mood improving as well.

When they entered the basketball court, Jian Song immediately drew eyes, as he was quite famous in the school.

“Brother Jian! Here to play ball?”

Jian Song waved his hand lazily. “Yeah, it is PE class. You guys do your thing.”

“Yo, Brother Jian changed partners? Where is Jiang Qi?”

Jian Song slammed the ball against the floor, catching it as it bounced back. “That brat went after his wife. I brought a new friend to play.”

After briefly talking to the others, Jian Song tossed the ball to Lu Yingchi, looking at him provocatively. “Come on, let us see what you have got.”

Watching the way Jian Song lifted his chin, Lu Yingchi felt his Adam’s apple bob. A Jian Song like this is perfect for pinning down.

“Brother Jian, here I come.”

Seeing the look in Lu Yingchi’s eyes, Jian Song became serious. This guy, he seems to know his way around a court.

The PE class was forty minutes long, and they played for thirty. Jian Song had to admit that he had underestimated Lu Yingchi. This guy was not just okay at basketball; he was exceptionally good.
