After spending the whole morning in the hospital, by the time Bai Yue arrived at school, the morning classes were almost over.

However, there was a reason for the incident. So the subject teacher did not say anything. Instead, he asked with concern that if the student was not feeling well, he could go home early.

Theoretically, Bai Yue’s body should actually be healthier. Because no matter what, Alphas’ physiques were stronger than Omegas’.

But Bai Yue couldn’t say such words, so he could only smile politely.

After class, Bai Yue wanted to lie on the table and rest for a while. However, it didn’t take long before he felt extremely hot gazes coming from all around him. It had happened before, but never as blatantly as today.

He raised his head, and his classmates turned their heads away at the same time, looking at their noses and their hearts, pretending to be busy with their own things. But once Bai Yue looked away, they peeked over again.

Because of the secondary differentiation, Bai Yue now felt a little guilty, always feeling that others might have noticed that he had differentiated into an Alpha.

There shouldn’t be any changes in appearance, could it be pheromones?

Thinking of this, Bai Yue lowered his head and sniffed his cuffs but smelled nothing.

At this moment, he heard someone shouting beside him.

“Stop looking, stop looking. Why are you looking here when you are not going to the toilet during class break!”

Bai Yue looked over and saw Li Ren waving his hands fiercely at those classmates, trying to block other people’s gazes.

Since someone spoke up, some thin-skinned students were actually persuaded and left the classroom. But there were still people sitting in their seats who heard Li Ren’s words and responded harshly.

“Is it not okay for me to take a look? The classroom is so big, why do you care what I look at?”

The person who spoke was the Omega who was in the same group with An Yu yesterday. Although he was defeated, he did not suffer any real harm. The person he was afraid of was not at the scene, so he was still fearless.

Li Ren: “Okay, then if you look at him, I will stare at you!”

After saying that, he glared back.

The Omega found it funny at first, but when Li Ren’s eyes really stayed on him, he finally felt uncomfortable and turned his head away angrily.

Before Li Ren could declare victory, he saw another Omega stand up.

It was An Yu.

He skipped class yesterday afternoon but came to school obediently today.

An Yu’s Omega friends thought he wanted to vent his anger on someone, so they stood up together. And a group of people walked up to Bai Yue’s table in a threatening manner.

Li Ren was a little scared: “What do you want to do? This is in the classroom, and the teachers and classmates are all watching us.”

Bai Yue had been distracted just now, and felt a shadow covering his head, so he looked over.

An Yu had a sullen face and asked in a bad tone: “Did you go to the hospital this morning?”

Bai Yue didn’t know what this man meant by asking this question, but didn’t want to hide it, so he nodded.

“Hmph!”

An Yu’s face became even uglier. He then turned around and walked out of the classroom.

The Omegas who followed him thought An Yu was going to make a big scene, but when he left so easily, they couldn’t help but look at each other. Seeing that the “little princess” was about to go far away, they hurriedly followed him.

Bai Yue knew that An Yu hated him, and he also knew the reason why he hated him. However, he still didn’t understand the reason why he was looking for trouble today.

He looked at Li Ren: “What happened to that guy.”

Li Ren wiped his face, suddenly leaned closer, and asked mysteriously: “They said that you went to the hospital this morning… because Shang Yufei hurt you, is it true?”

Hearing this, Bai Yue’s expression became strange: “Injured?”

Li Ren’s face turned red: “Just… injured. Isn’t it like that the first time?”

Bai Yue: “Ah.”

Seeing Bai Yue’s expression of sudden realization, Li Ren hurriedly asked: “Is it true?”

Bai Yue looked into his friend’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up: “Who said this?”

“I saw it on the forum.”

At this point, Li Ren’s face turned redder, and his voice lowered even more, “Because you haven’t seen each other for almost a year. You showed your love in public yesterday and went home together. As the saying goes, when a man meets another man after three days, it will be like dry firewood and blazing fire. And you went to the hospital again today…”

When Li Ren explained in a low voice, Bai Yue noticed more thorny gazes. But this time it didn’t come from classmates, but from outside the class.

He didn’t recognize those people either; they seemed to be students from other classes. They actually took advantage of the class break to run to the door and peek inside.

Seeing Bai Yue looking at them, some of them shyly looked away, while others smiled with ill intentions.

“…So everyone is guessing this.”

Having said this, Li Ren looked at his friend, only to see him stand up and walk towards the door.

“Huh? Wait, where are you going?” Li Ren hurriedly followed.

Bai Yue stopped at the door, looked into the eyes of these stranger classmates, and smiled slightly: “Is there something wrong?”

The classmates were all stunned. They just came to watch the fun after hearing the rumors, but they didn’t expect the person involved to show up in person.

They had heard of the name of school beauty Bai Yue a long time ago, but they could only admire him from afar and never speak to him in person. Now that they were being approached, even the thickest-skinned man felt hesitant.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. We’re just passing by.”

Everyone laughed and dispersed at the same time.

Bai Yue: “Wait.”

They were stopped before they could think of anything. Everyone was startled and looked back.

Bai Yue: “I went to the hospital today because there were errors and omissions in my physical examination. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask the teacher.”

Everyone looked at each other.

Bai Yue’s tone was gentle: “Can you help clarify this?”

When good-looking people speak, people always wanted to agree unconsciously.

Besides, these students just liked to watch the fun and had no ill intentions. Hearing the school beauty’s request, they all nodded hurriedly.

After those people left, Bai Yue walked back to the classroom.

Although most people would rather believe interesting rumors than so-called facts.

He didn’t think there would be many people who could help him clarify. But at least, he hoped that after saying this today, no one would come to watch him again.

Bai Yue didn’t care about this little episode and was still more focused on the secondary differentiation.

Currently, although it had been confirmed that he had become an Alpha, his pheromones had not yet been awakened. So he had to stay out of sight these few days to avoid being discovered.

After school, Bai Yue declined Li Ren’s invitation and boarded the floating bus heading home.

The station near the school was closer to the departure station, so Bai Yue found a seat and sat down with his schoolbag.

The scenery outside the window blurred into a ball and quickly flew backwards.

After about half an hour’s journey, just as they were about to arrive at the station, his cell phone beeped twice. He picked it up and found it was a text message from Shang Yufei.

Shang Yufei: [Are you home yet?]

Whenever he received messages from his boyfriend, he felt happy and excited. But now, when Bai Yue saw the sender’s name, he couldn’t help but start to hesitate.

How to respond such that his abnormality could not be detected?

After a while, his finger touched the screen and he typed a few words: [Not yet. I have something to do today and am still in school.]

As soon as this message was sent, the other party immediately marked it as read. Then his phone rang.

Shang Yufei had called directly.

Bai Yue looked at the incoming call, pressed the answer button, and put the phone to his ear: “Hello?”

“What’s the matter?” Shang Yufei’s voice was a little hoarse, “I’ll pick you up.”

Bai Yue lowered his eyes: “No, nothing.”

His tone was exactly the same as usual: “I had a physical examination yesterday, and the school arranged a make-up class. I may be back very late, don’t wait for me.”

“Make-up class?” Shang Yufei frowned, “Why didn’t we have this thing last year.”

Bai Yue remained calm and composed: “I don’t know, it may be newly added this year.”

“What a hassle.”

Shang Yufei seemed to believe this excuse, “How many days of make-up class?”

Bai Yue: “Not sure yet, I’ll contact you when it’s over.”

After that, he changed the subject: “How is your dad doing?”

“Huh?” Hearing the question, there was a click of the tongue from the other end of the phone, “It’s the same thing as before, he’ll be honest if you give him money.”

Bai Yue knew the attitude of Shang Yufei’s father. The man didn’t want him to associate with Shang Yufei. As because of his ordinary family background, he could not provide more help to his son.

The reason why Father Shang cared about this was not because he had changed his ways and started caring about his son. Instead, he hoped to use his son’s achievements to make his own life better.

From beginning to end, this so-called “father” never fulfilled his fatherly responsibilities. The only thing on his mind was how to get the most benefit from his child.

Shang Yufei didn’t really want to bring up this topic, so he replied briefly and moved on to other topics.

A few minutes later, Bai Yue hung up the phone. The smile on his face faded and was gradually covered with dark clouds.

Although he had managed to get away with it today, it was not a long-term solution.

The bus had arrived at his stop, so he picked up his backpack and got off.

Now, he could only hope that the pheromone awakening period would arrive sooner.

Once he had completely controlled the release and collection of pheromones and ensured that they would not be leaked, he would be able to meet Shang Yufei as usual.

——It must be before the matter is exposed.

The next morning, Bai Yue woke up very early. But because he was worried, he didn’t sleep well.

He looked at his palm, and the lines on the palm were clear. Everything was normal and he didn’t feel any discomfort.

The awakening period had not yet arrived.

According to what he had learned in textbooks, humans would experience fever-like symptoms before and after the awakening period. Once it appeared, you could take a leave and stay at home until the awakening period was over and you could completely control the pheromones.

His body had not shown any similar symptoms so far.

Bai Yue put down his hand and turned his head. His younger brother was lying on the bed opposite him, still sleeping soundly.

He watched for a while, then got up from the bed, washed up and cooked breakfast.

An hour later, Bai Yue arrived at the academy. As soon as he entered the school gate, he realized that today was unusually noisy.

In other words, since the third-year physical examination was over, the college had been bustling every day.

The first day was because Shang Yufei flew back.

The next day, rumors spread because he went to the hospital again.

And the third day was because of something else – the physical examination notice had come out.

Even though technology was advanced nowadays, important data archives still needed to be kept in paper form.

Each student’s notice was placed in a brown leather file bag and needed to be solemnly handed over to each student in person by the class teacher.

These students were not interested in other results on the notice; the only thing they wanted to know was their genetic level.

Although most of the time, the students in a class were mediocre C grades. But after what happened last year, everyone hoped to become the next prodigy.

Therefore, even the students who were least interested in studying went against their usual practice and sat down at their desks early today.

Except for Fang Zhenren, that person was still lying in the hospital.

The bell rang and the head teacher came in with a pile of documents. Seeing the students sitting upright, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows: “Wow, you are so active today.”

However, it was not his first day as a teacher, so of course he knew what these little kids were thinking. It was nothing more than longing for one’s own genetic level.

So he didn’t keep anyone in suspense, threw the file bag on the podium, stood still and said, “I’ll read out the names, and you come up one by one to receive them.”
