Studying Is Such A Damn Thing - Chapter 27

The group looked back and forth at one another, their expressions a mix of various emotions.

Tang Yuwei looked as if someone had just tried to steal his wife, his face turning a shade of green. He pulled Li Yuyu a little closer, practically circling him in his arms. Li Yuyu noticed the movement but didn’t resist, instead leaning obediently into the embrace and even rubbing his head slightly against Tang Yuwei’s clothes.

Seeing this, Tang Yuwei’s expression softened, though he didn’t drop his guard against Qi Yuan. Since Qi Yuan couldn’t possibly be into an Alpha-Alpha relationship and was so close to You Cheche, wasn’t Li Yuyu the obvious “danger”?

But he couldn’t have been more wrong. Song Chaolian and Shen Yiyi sat on the side, one with arms crossed and the other leaning back. Both had their eyebrows raised in a deep, interrogative stare, looking like the protective family members of the person being crushed on.

Qi Yuan slowly backed away, trying to escape the question, but it was useless. His back hit someone, and when he turned around, he saw You Cheche looking at him with equal suspicion. Seeing Qi Yuan deliver himself right to him, You Cheche grabbed him, seemingly oblivious to the danger. “Come. Clean. Right. Now.”

“Friends, I think we can switch to a different question. This one is starting to affect our pure revolutionary friendship… hahaha.”

“The fact that you’re acting like this is what’s affecting our pure revolutionary friendship, don’t you think?” Song Chaolian said, pointedly glancing at the card Qi Yuan had drawn. “Just say it, don’t keep us waiting. Is it Li Yuyu? Or You Cheche? Or do you really want to go… Alpha-Alpha?”

Qi Yuan swallowed hard. “I don’t want to confess yet. Besides, there’s no way he’d agree right now. Let’s wait for later…”

“No way!! You have to tell us!!” You Cheche cheered gleefully, having absolutely no clue that he was the person in question.

“……Cheche… let’s talk about this later, okay?”

Qi Yuan felt incredibly guilty as he said this. Seeing that no one was willing to let him off the hook, he closed his eyes and just blurted it out.

“Fine! You Cheche, I like you. I can’t even remember the last time my heart skipped a beat for you, because it happens all the time. I’ve fallen for you over and over again, and it’s not just a little bit!”

The moment the words left his mouth, the room went dead silent. Four sets of eyes immediately swung toward You Cheche.

You Cheche was currently drowning in regret: Crap! Why did I make him say it!!!! This is so awkward, so awkward!!!!

However, he didn’t give Qi Yuan an answer.

“Uh…… dude…… I think it’s a bit too early for this, you know? It won’t be too late to talk when we’re older. You’ll meet someone you truly like sooner or later, so don’t just tie yourself to me. Maybe think it over some more?”

Qi Yuan felt as if fireworks were going off in his chest, only for someone to toss a fireball into the mix. It was pure agony. Seeing You Cheche’s response, he nodded frantically in agreement.

Meanwhile, Shen Yiyi and Song Chaolian exchanged a look, already plotting how to play matchmaker. Yep, they’re a perfect match!

If this had happened before, their internal monologues would have been: Sigh! Out of six people, we have two couples… In the future, we’ll have Tang Yuwei and Li Yuyu hugging on the left, and You Cheche and Qi Yuan kissing on the right, leaving us two lonely Alphas all by ourselves… Sigh… what a hard life…

But now…

Song Chaolian and Shen Yiyi shared another glance and silently held hands, saying nothing.

They played a few more rounds, but everyone was so shaken by Qi Yuan’s sudden confession that they were playing half-heartedly. After a while, they huddled together to watch a movie. But… who watches a horror movie in the middle of the day?! And it was Shen Yiyi’s idea!

Shen Yiyi’s intention was to get the ghost-fearing You Cheche to hide in Qi Yuan’s arms. The effect was immediate because You Cheche really was terrified of ghosts.

When a jump-scare hit the screen, You Cheche shrieked and dove into the arms of the person closest to him, Qi Yuan. Before he could even process it, another scare popped up, and he hugged Qi Yuan even tighter.

He had completely forgotten that “this guy just confessed to me and we aren’t just ‘pure bros’ anymore.” His mind was entirely filled with the terror of ghosts.

Qi Yuan’s eyes darkened as he looked down at You Cheche clinging to him. He savored the feeling of the Beta in his arms, soft and fragrant. He was incredibly happy.

Qi Yuan failed to control his pheromones, letting them leak out again. Instantly, the other three Alphas in the room looked at him simultaneously. Their eyes flashed with two distinct emotions: “Okay, okay, you kid, losing control again,” and “Pull those stupid pheromones back in right now, are you trying to suffocate your fathers?”

Li Yuyu rubbed his nose and burrowed deeper into Tang Yuwei’s chest, trying to ignore the thick scent of baby’s breath.

Only You Cheche, who couldn’t smell a thing, remained immersed in the horror movie. He let out scream after scream, clinging to Qi Yuan like a koala, refusing to move as if he were being scared to death.
