Chapter 21 Undercurrent
"What are you doing?"
Shi Chu reached out and gently patted Shen Xiuyin, who was standing in front of her changing cabinet.
Shen Xiuyin shuddered, turned around, and saw that it was her, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, I was scared to death."
"Why are you walking without making any sound?"
Shi Chu looked at her strangely.
Shen Xiuyin calmed herself down, then smiled calmly and said, "Really? I was a little distracted just now."
"By the way, are you still going to that snack shop on Friday?"
"Yes."
"I also want to eat the snacks there. Can you bring some for me next Monday?" Shen Xiuyin still had that seemingly natural smile on her face, but her slightly twinkling eyes seemed to hide some different thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Shi Chu readily agreed, "Okay, no problem."
She had searched for a long time before finding that shop. It was a snack shop that perfectly suited her taste, and the food was delicious and affordable. Every Friday after school, she would go there to buy a bunch of snacks to stock up on for the weekend.
She reached out to open the changing cabinet, took a look, and took out the computer that she had taken off for fear of damage during the "Basic Underwater Combat Knowledge and Operations" class, and put it on her left hand skillfully.
Shen Xiuyin's eyes flickered slightly.
"Let's go, the next class is Federal History."
"Okay, let me change my clothes." As Shi Chu said this, she opened an empty changing room and walked in.
In the narrow space, her fingers nimbly buttoned the buttons one by one, her movements skillful and natural, but Shen Xiuyin's performance just now kept appearing in her mind.
Why was she standing in front of her locker? And she came out so quickly, already changed her clothes.
But when she opened the changing room just now, she checked it carefully and didn't find anything extra or missing.
Is she too suspicious?
Why do I feel that Shen Xiuyin has been acting a little strange recently? It seems like she has been like this since that alpha named Luo Yanchuan came to the class. Is this the legendary girl's thoughts?
She thought silently for a while, but didn't find anything wrong, so she simply put the idea aside, opened the door, and walked out.
"Let's go."
…
The other side.
In a house with simple and elegant decoration.
Luo Yanchuan was lying on the ground at this time, as if he was being pressed down by an invisible mountain, and his whole body was slightly deformed due to the huge pressure.
His muscles were tense, veins on his forehead bulged, and sweat slid down his cheeks to the ground, disappearing in an instant.
"Can't you bear fifteen times the gravity?"
The alpha sitting on a chair not far away spoke slowly, his voice like the melodious sound of a cello, low and rich in texture.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. His every gesture revealed his elegance and nobility. His temperament was noble and cold, like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, isolated from the world and pure and flawless.
"I heard that you bullied your classmates at school? What's going on? Are the Luo family rules no longer effective?" He cast a cold gaze at the struggling figure lying on the ground, and his words carried a barely perceptible sense of majesty and questioning.
When Luo Yanchuan heard this, his body trembled. "Auntie Lan, you've really hurt me," he groaned inwardly. "You clearly agreed not to complain, yet you actually sold me out."
He gasped a few times, resisting the strong pressure in the gravity field, and said with difficulty, "I... didn't."
"Really? Then Lan Yue told me that she sensed your pheromones on a beta?" The man's eyes were fixed on him, like a cold light in the cold night, making Luo Yanchuan feel uneasy.
His face turned pale in an instant, his brows were tightly knitted together, and a trace of guilt and panic flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't find any suitable excuse, so he answered truthfully, "It's because I... couldn't control my pheromones, so..."
Luo Yanchi drank tea and listened to his explanation patiently. After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice low and cold, "Can't control it? Is this your reason?"
"As a member of the Luo family, do you know what the consequences of your behavior will be?" He raised his hand to put down the teacup, slowly stood up, and walked in front of Luo Yanchuan.
Pheromones are very private and secretive to both alphas and omegas, and their appearance on others means something that goes without saying.
He didn't want to hear anyone say that his younger brother was messing around in school before he even reached adulthood, ruining the Luo family's reputation.
"Before, you were dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by our family and made a big scene at home. Now you turn around and do this kind of thing in school." Luo Yanchi glanced at his disappointing younger brother.
He has always been a troublemaker since he was a child. He don't know how many messes he have cleaned up for him.
This time he had a quarrel with their parents and moved in with him, and he also had to help Luo Yanchuan deal with things in the family. Now the other party did this again. If his mother knew about it, there would be another uproar.
Luo Yanchi felt his temples throbbing. He glanced at Luo Yanchuan, who was lying on the ground with his head down and silent, and raised his hand to turn off the gravity field.
"I won't tell Mother about this." He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Control your own pheromones. Stay home and reflect on your actions for the next few days."
Luo Yanchuan quickly got up from the ground and responded as if he had been granted amnesty, "Okay, I understand, brother. I will definitely reflect on this."
Luo Yanchi felt helpless when he saw him like this. He didn't know who his brother had inherited his personality from.
His mother, an omega, was known for her dominance and coldness, while his father, an alpha, was more gentle and kind. He himself was relatively calm and composed, while his younger brother was known for his unruly personality, constantly getting into trouble.
"If you don't want to be arranged by the family, then show your value. You should know our mother's character. What she values most is value." Luo Yanchi warned with a cold look and sharp words.
"I hope you can really remember this."
After saying this, he turned and left, leaving Luo Yanchuan alone in the room.
Luo Yanchuan watched him leave and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He casually wiped the sweat off his face and walked towards his bedroom.
He was going to take a shower and change his clothes, as his clothes were soaked with sweat.
However, at this moment, the light brain suddenly rang. The crisp notification sound was particularly clear in this silent space. He was slightly startled, then subconsciously raised his hand to check the message.
A new message popped up on the computer screen, and the flickering light seemed to carry some unknown meaning. He opened the message and smiled smugly after reading it.
"I didn't expect that she would come to me on her own initiative. Just wait, I'll catch you soon, you damn beta!"
