After the divorce, Alpha smells really good again

September 6th light rain

When I was young, I thought that hard work was something worth showing off, but now I realize that it is the least worth mentioning.

Apart from hard work, ordinary people seem to have nothing left. There is nothing more ordinary than wishing to be extraordinary.

……

——"Savage"

This is the name Xu Nian gave to his final work.

Omega cast an abstract figure in brass, which is regarded as a metal art decoration. The final manuscript was about [-] centimeters high. The exhibition effect was good and the meaning was quite profound.

The portrait's hands are raised high, clinging upwards, almost stretching the body to the limit. The figure is graceful, slender and fragile, like a sudden freeze in a dynamic dance. Like a boundary barrier, it grows wildly and desperately upwards.

Same as omega.

In addition, Xu Nian also embellished its "skirt" with turquoise enamel glaze, this hidden detail makes the work more complete, and it is more worth taking the time to appreciate.

I have never participated in a large-scale exhibition, and until "Savage Life" was packed and sent away, Teacher Xu still had no idea. However, Professor Sun was very satisfied with the effect of his students' final works. He has always supported him and been very happy. Be optimistic about him, he will not be surprised by Xu Nian's achievements in the future.

During this period of time, he has been busy making things, so Omega didn't contact his alpha anymore, Ji Zhiyan didn't seem to need him, and there was no movement, but Shen Qingyan, Xu Nian found that beta had a subtle change in his attitude towards him.

In fact, apart from Ji Zhiyan, Shen Qingyan and Xu Nian didn't have much in common. In addition, Omega has always been cautious around Beta. After working in the office for a long time, Shen Qingyan also has more friends who can talk to each other. Naturally, the two gradually drifted apart. Now, friends who have never been close to each other have become colleagues who are too lazy to greet each other after meeting.

This change is a good thing for Xu Nian.

Although he didn't know the existence of beta when he married alpha, but Shen Qingyan was indeed the most innocent one involved in this fake relationship, Xu Nian more or less felt that she owed him, Shen Qingyan took the initiative to distance herself from him, Xu Nian is less troublesome.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and a light rain does not relieve the heat, but it makes the cicadas chirp louder on the trees.

In mid-June, it was the graduation season again, and another group of people were about to enter their junior year, and Song Linran was one of them.

All majors of Nancheng College have credit requirements for junior students to go out for internships, so the number of cultural class hours has been reduced, and there is a special internship month at the end of the semester.

In fact, internship credits are very easy to earn, and there is no strict time limit, as long as the date of the last internship certificate submitted is the junior year of junior year.

But the same time, the same credits, the things that can be learned are different.

Most college students have their own experience of making money, but most of these experiences come from part-time jobs that are short-lived and not helpful for the future, so Squad Leader Song came to the office in his free time after class to ask his teacher Xu for some advice.

"I haven't even started the summer vacation yet, so I started preparing so early."

Seeing Song Linran put the recruitment information he had collected everywhere in front of his desk, looking eager to try, Xu Nian couldn't help laughing, he looked at a few of them at random, and asked, "Which do you prefer?"

"I don't know, maybe I... have no inclinations?"

Squad leader Song rarely gave Mr. Xu a positive answer. He took out an inkjet coloring page from a stack of papers, which was an advertisement for an intern teacher from a children's art institution: "Actually, I don't have much idea about the future, but if I simply For an internship certificate, this is the easiest to get."

Indeed, such training institutions have set up summer classes, and a certificate can be issued after one month of work.

Song Linran thought for a while and said: "I called yesterday to ask. This art institution is very close to Nancheng, and there is a direct bus. If you go there for an internship... If the performance meets the standard, it can be converted into a daily part-time job on weekends. Waiting for me like this You can continue to work even if you get the certificate, and there is no delay in the class in the school."

Xu Nian nodded, took the piece of paper that Squad Leader Song pulled out and looked at it carefully, but, "Do you like children?"

"It's okay, don't hate it."

Song Linran smiled, "I just think this job is more suitable and relatively easy, and after careful calculation, if I go there to work part-time every weekend in the future, the living expenses of the university will be self-sufficient, which will relieve my family's burden. Quite a burden."

"Too."

Xu Nian sighed. He has a lot of students, but he has a lot of contact with Squad Leader Song, so he knows that his family is a single-parent family, and there is an omega younger sister who is about to enter high school. She will use inhibitors in a few years, and the medicine is not cheap , as a brother, of course he cares more about salary.

Internship wages in ordinary units are not high, and the internship months provided by the school alone are not enough opportunities to become regulars. Nowadays, many companies are important people who sign contracts, and college student interns are temporary workers. They are often squeezed to sell more coolies but get nothing. benefit.

But the art institution that Song Linran chose was different. In addition to the basic salary, they also paid the class fees. If there are more students, there is a commission. It is relatively easy to earn more.

Seeing that Song Linran seemed to have made up his mind, Xu Nian said truthfully: "I stayed in school right after I graduated, so I don't seem to be able to give you any good advice in this regard, but I think your direction is right. The institution is used as a temporary foothold, and while working part-time while studying and saving some money, it will also help to formally find a job after graduation.”

"Then why not just treat the internship month as a formal job search."

The clear male voice sounded, Shen Qingyan had been sitting in the office without making a sound, but now he suddenly picked up Xu Nian's words, and he said directly to Song Linran: "If you really want to lighten the burden on your family, you might as well just take a long-term view. , How much money can I save while working part-time while studying? Take advantage of this time to broaden your horizons, if you are lucky enough to get into a good company, you can really learn something, not to mention a good resume in the future."

"...Well, teacher, what you said makes sense, I will reconsider."

Song Linran nodded thoughtfully. Although Shen Qingyan has only come to Nancheng not long ago, he is very popular among the students because of his good teaching and outstanding appearance.

And compared to Xu Nian, his words are indeed more valuable for reference. Although the two of them are the same age, Shen Qingyan has studied abroad, has job hunting experience in both places, and has a wider range of perspectives.

After listening to the suggestions of the two teachers, Squad Leader Song's purpose of coming this trip has been achieved, but he still doesn't really want to leave, it seems that he wants to chat with his teacher Xu about something else, but Shen Qingyan didn't give him a chance at all , After interrupting, he left his seat and leaned against Xu Nian's desk with his arms folded, obviously wanting to talk to him alone.

"Then... I'll go back and study it again, thank you teacher."

Song Linran waved to Xu Nian a little, and he didn't stay for long, before leaving, he gently closed the office door.

Today, there are professional courses for all grades in the art department, so only Xu Nian and Shen Qingyan are left in the office.

"What's up?"

Shen Qingyan stood by her side all the time, but didn't say a word or do anything. Xu Nian felt a little uncomfortable, so she opened her mouth.

"It's nothing."

Shen Qingyan closed her eyes for a moment and then slowly opened them. Looking at Xu Nian, his expression was a bit complicated: "I heard... your pheromone smells like gardenia?"

"Um……"

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingyan would suddenly mention this, Xu Nian explained: "Actually, it's not exactly the same, but it does look like gardenia."

"Oh." Shen Qingyan responded in a nonchalant manner, "I've always been curious about what pheromones are, and how good they smell, is it... will it become addictive if smelled for a long time?"

As he said that, he suddenly laughed, as if mocking himself: "It's a pity that I'm a beta, I can't smell it, and I haven't."

"..."

Xu Nian paused, seeing Shen Qingyan's lonely eyes, he didn't know how to answer his words for a moment.

Xu Nian always wished that he was a beta. He had always envied that betas would neither have a estrus period nor worry about their lives, and that they could live freely without being disturbed by pheromones.

It's not just Xu Nian, many omega have this kind of thinking, but there are few betas who "yearn" for pheromones like Shen Qingyan.

Influenced by his original family, and also involved in the tortuous relationship between Shen Qingyan and Ji Zhiyan, Xu Nian understood why Shen Qingyan had such thoughts, but he didn't expect that person's next sentence to be: "However, I heard that The smell of omega courtship pheromone is so strong that even betas can smell it."

Beta's voice was as gentle as ever, and what he said was true, but for some reason, his words inexplicably made Omega shudder.

Xu Nian stared at Shen Qingyan in a daze, but the man didn't say anything else, he didn't seem to want to be alone with him that much, so he hurriedly left the office after speaking.

It was also in the evening that the final results of the National Art Exhibition came out.

Among the announced winners was Xu Nian's name. Mr. Xu was not simply shortlisted. "Savage Life" won the silver award in the art exhibition, second only to the gold award.
