When Tao Fengche was awakened by the phone on the bedside table, he was still in a daze.

There was no light in the room, and the heavy curtains were drawn tightly, completely blocking the sunlight outside the window.In the darkness, the constantly lit phone screen seemed a little dazzling.

He frowned, and buried his head in the soft pillow, trying to go back to sleep again, but was disturbed by the almost non-stop buzzing that made it difficult to fall asleep.

After a long while, with a dark face, Tao Fengche stretched out his hand to scratch the bedside table twice, and pulled the phone in front of him.

He squinted his eyes and struggled to verify the face ID. The next moment, his face was blurred by a screen full of unread messages on the chat software - except for the push from the official account, the rest of the messages were all sent by one person.

[Wang Yuan]: [Brother Tao, are you awake? ]

[Wang Yuan]: [Brother Tao? ]

[Wang Yuan]: [...Are you still sleeping?Our third class is over, and you still haven't gotten up? ]

[Wang Yuan]: [Damn, aren't you an adult today, you can sleep on such a big thing? ? ]

[Wang Yuan]: [I am convinced, I am really convinced.Brother Tao deserves to be Brother Tao, he is amazing. ]

……

Further down, there are endless chatter and a long list of meaningless emoticons.

【Tao Fengche】: [Shut up. ]

He poked viciously on the phone a few times, ignored all the questions, and simply replied two words.There is indifference between the lines, and even the full stop has a murderous intent, trying to scare away the boring friends who can only come to harass him.

The amount of homework in the third year of high school has never been transferred by people's will.

Especially for international students like Tao Fengche who need to grasp both hands, they have been exhausted physically and mentally during this period of time - they will start applying for schools after New Year's Day. Such application documents, relevant supporting materials, and letters of recommendation are enough to make people peel off; not to mention that there was a city model in Jingpu in early January.

——If you can’t apply for a foreign university, in addition to repeating your studies, the only way you can go is the college entrance examination.And this time, the city's unified examination with unified revision and unified ranking is a weathervane for college entrance examination review and preparation.

Since this period of time, Tao Fengche's sleep time has been compressed to the minimum. Every morning when he takes the car to school, he is always dozing off every morning. If it wasn't for seeing Suiyuesheng a few more times, he would like to live in the same place as Wang Yuan. School dormitory.

Tao Fengche looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally managed to look forward to the coming-of-age leave on his birthday. Although it was only given for one day, December 24 this year happened to be a Friday, and even last weekend, he could just take three days off.

There was a lot of snow last night, the window was covered with snow, and the wind was cold, but the heating inside the house was fully turned on. In addition, the ancestral house is located on the top of the mountain, and the surrounding is very quiet, which is a very suitable environment for sleeping .

In order to squeeze out a day's free time, Tao Fengche turned on the lights and fought until the wee hours of the morning. He managed to catch up on sleep, but his friend Wang Yuan spared Qingmeng.

The oppression around him was so low that it could almost become a substance, but Wang Yuan, who was far away in the school, was completely unaware of everything.

Not only did Wang Yuan fail to realize Tao Fengche's mood at the moment, but he quickly put the phone in the hole on the table, typing and replying with his fingers flying.

[Wang Yuan]: [It's past ten o'clock, and you're actually still asleep... I remember I was so nervous that I didn't sleep well all night, you are such a ruthless person. ]

[Wang Yuan]: [Oh yes, I forgot to mention it just now, happy birthday! ]

[Wang Yuan]: [Since you're awake, don't sleep, share it with your brother, what does your pheromone smell like? ]

The screen was full of messages again, and the phone buzzed non-stop. Now I really can't sleep.

Tao Fengche's remnant of drowsiness was wiped out by Wang Yuan. He yawned, turned over again, and reluctantly sat up.

【Tao Fengche】: [Thanks, but it’s not so fast yet, probably in the afternoon. ]

[Wang Yuan]: [Oh, so.Are you feeling a little dizzy right now? ]

[Tao Fengche]: [A little bit, but I think it should be caused by staying up late last night to do homework and being woken up early this morning. ]

Wang Yuan sent an emoticon package in the shape of Xizi holding a heart.

[Wang Yuan]: [Brother Tao, how can you say that?You hurt me so much!As a brother, I am worried about your physical condition, and I am here to care about you! ]

[Wang Yuan]: [Moreover, dizziness is obviously a normal physiological phenomenon of alphas when they become adults, and it is also accompanied by a certain degree of lethargy. It has nothing to do with me, okay? !When I saw your physiology and hygiene class, I didn't listen carefully! ]

[Wang Yuan]: [But having said that, you can almost start praying for the smell of your pheromones now, and it is really useful to hold Buddha's feet temporarily. ]

【Tao Fengche】: [...Are you really idle?Don't engage in feudal superstition, take the time to study hard and prepare for the exam seriously, okay? ]

[Wang Yuan]: [It's obviously time for recess! ]

[Wang Yuan]: [Brother Tao, I'm not scaring you, you really have to believe in the power of metaphysics.Don't think that my wormwood taste is mediocre, but I actually prayed.Do you remember the durian-flavored omega from before?I heard from his roommate that he just sneered at this routine and made fun of it, that's why... he became durian flavored. ]

[Wang Yuan]: [They said, this may be the punishment of God. ]

【Tao Fengche】: […]

Tao Fengche trembled from the embarrassment of the word "Damn" full of the style of the second disease, and his toes curled up uncontrollably.He was about to tell Wang Yuan to believe in science, but his eyes moved to the three words "Durian taste", but his hand suddenly stopped.

The young master of the Tao family, who had always been fearless, felt a little bit in his heart at this moment.

Tao Fengche narrowed his eyes slightly.

He doesn't have much requirement for his pheromones, and he has never believed in the theory that "the smell of pheromones will determine a person's future status".

As long as the taste is not too weird, he can accept anything like houttuynia cordata, coriander, red oil hot pot, heather flower and so on.

Even if the masses are a little mediocre, there is nothing wrong with it.

But...it'd be better to follow Yuesheng and smell better, right?

Tao Fengche was a little lost in thought.

His five fingers tightened unconsciously, and the cell phone in his hand became tighter and tighter, even his knuckles turned white.

After a while, a familiar vibration brought Tao Fengche back to his mind.

[Wang Yuan]: [Speaking of which, what are you planning to do today?Your brother comes back to accompany you after get off work? ]

【Tao Fengche】: [Well, we will have dinner together after he comes back. ]

Thinking of Sui Yuesheng, Tao Fengche's mood became better, the little anxiety about pheromones disappeared, his fingers relaxed a little, and even the corners of his eyes slightly curved, with a smile on his face.

[Wang Yuan]: [That's great. ]

Although Tao Fengche has not disclosed to Wang Yuan the change between him and Yuesheng, he has always been very happy to share with Wang Yuan the things between him and Yuesheng. Tons of dog food.

Although Sui Yuesheng didn't mention it, he always remembered that he said he would have dinner with Wang Yuan's family in September.

There were many things to do in September and October. At the end of November, the two families finally found time to have a light meal together.

The location is determined with the moon, the environment is quiet, and the dishes are delicious; the time is also set on the day when the monthly exam results are released according to Tao Fengche's ridicule at the time. At the dinner table, Wang Yuan looked at the two with more gratitude.

This meal was a family dinner, and as soon as Sui Yuesheng arrived, he said that he could just treat him as Tao Fengche's older brother, and put himself in the position of a junior, and Wang's father and mother agreed graciously.

Sui Yuesheng is a person who is extremely good at manipulating people's hearts. As far as he is concerned, as long as he wants to, it is too easy to be pleasing.In addition, there was no conflict of interest between Tao's family and Wang's family. After a meal, both Wang's father and Wang's mother liked him very much, and the eyes that looked at Wang Yuan became even more resentful.

"Why don't I have a brother like that!"

Once again seeing Sui Yuesheng chatting with Wang's father while picking up a chopstick dish for Tao Fengche, Wang Yuan let out a soul roar in dissatisfaction.

Tao Fengche put the dish into his mouth with a smile, chewed it slowly, and his heart was fully satisfied - no, not only do you not have such a brother, you also do not have such a boyfriend.

Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Yuan with more pity.

Wang Yuan was horrified by his stare: "Brother Tao, can you speak directly if you have something to say, your eyes are really penetrating."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Father Wang smacked the back of Wang Yuan's hand with chopsticks.

"It hurts!" Wang Yuan made a gesture of grievance, "Dad, talk as soon as you speak, why beat me again!"

Tao Fengche grew up with Wang Yuan, and has always been close to the Wang family. Not only did he not open his mouth to pass the steps to Wang Yuan, but he also watched the excitement without hesitation, and even took a leisurely hand to give Sui Yuesheng a piece of snack. .

"Brother eats." He pretended to be obedient attentively.

"Look at how sensible little Tao is, and then look at you!" Mother Wang's voice also rang out.

"En." Sui Yuesheng nodded slightly, but his eyes still fell on the Wang family.

Tao Fengche followed his gaze and knew that although Sui Yuesheng didn't show it on the surface, he still envied such a warm family life in his heart, and when he thought about the past about Sui Yuesheng, he felt a little sour in his heart.

He thought for a while, put down his chopsticks, stretched out his hand silently, and held Sui Yuesheng's hand under the table.

After a while, Sui Yuesheng returned to hold him.

Tao Fengche's thoughts gradually came back, and his mind gradually became clear, and now he remembered the things he had left behind not long ago.

【Tao Fengche】: [By the way, I have already bought the Christmas presents for this year, and they should be delivered to your home within two days. Remember to accept them. ]

[Wang Yuan]: [gift? ?Has your brother unblocked your card? ! ]

【Tao Fengche】: [Yes. ]

He reservedly replied a single word, very sweet in his heart.
