CH 126

An empty classroom.

The desks and chairs were all stacked up at the back of the classroom, the curtains were closed tight in front of the clear windows, the noisy footsteps and voices from the corridor come through the closed classroom door, appearing vague and distant, as if they were coming from another world.

Shen Boyan stood in front of the door, his eyes lowered, as he stared deeply at Ge Xiu.

He suddenly asked:

“Have we met before?”

Ge Xiu’s heart relaxed slightly — great, it seemed that it was only the reason for this conversation was the vague mutual attraction between them.

He replied without changing his face: “Of course, we are classmates, how could we have not met before.”

Shen Boyan took a step towards Ge Xiu slowly, and the safe distance between the two instantly shortened, as if even the surrounding air was disturbed by his strong presence. He looked at Ge Xiu thoughtfully and narrowed his eyes slightly:

“Is that so.”

Ge Xiu didn’t know why he felt guilty.

He took a half step back without attracting attention, trying to walk around Shen Boyan as he changed the subject lightly: “The lessons have ended long ago, if there’s nothing else, then I will…”

He was about to pass the other.

At this moment, Ge Xiu saw Shen Boyan extend his hand towards him from the corner of his eye. He took a few steps back vigilantly and left the danger area before the other party reached him — but what he didn’t expect was, Shen Boyan seemed to have already expected his dodging, and followed closely, taking a few steps forward, and skillfully used the advantage of his size to force him into the corner.

Ge Xiu felt his back hit the cold hard wall.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.

But in the mere few seconds that Ge Xiu was distracted, Shen Boyan was already pressing up, trapping him in the narrow space between his arms and his chest.

He lowered his eyelids, long eyelashes covering his deep eyes: “You are very skilled at escaping.”

They were too close.

Ge Xiu could almost smell his warm, regular breath.

He was taken aback, blocking him with his arms to open the distance between them. Ge Xiu raised his voice with a little of hidden guilty conscience, and asked:

“…what are you doing?”

Shen Boyan turned a deaf ear.

He lowered his head, leaned closer and buried the tip of his nose into the neck of the young man in front of him, sniffing gently.

Ge Xiu shrank back feeling his neck was itchy.

A low voice sounded close to his ear, with a gravel-like hoarseness bringing faint vibrations in the air:

“The smell on your body is very familiar.”

Ge Xiu’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the animalistic features he temporarily suppressed last time had appeared againg?

It’s over …

Ge Xiu suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

He always had a feeling that… this time, he might not be able to trick his way out.

When he was dazed, Shen Boyan raised his hand and caught a strand of his hair with his fingers. His expression was unpredictable, but his attitude was close to intimate as he gently put Ge Xiu’s forehead hair behind his ear. His eyes deepened:

“Do you need me to repeat the question again?”

At this moment, the mobile phone from his pocket erupted in a buzzing alarm — this was the alarm he set before entering school, and it was supposed to ring ten minutes before the effect of the drug would wear off, as to remind him of the passage of time.

Oops.

Ge Xiu cursed silently in his heart.

According to the current situation, it would be very difficult to leave the inspection range of the detectors in the school within ten minutes.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ge Xiu categorically denied, he raised his hand to stop Shen Boyan’s arm, quickly bent his body, dexterously escaping from the shackles of the other’s arms, and then took a few steps back, quickly distancing himself from Shen Boyan:

“So, don’t get in the way, will you?”

He said unceremoniously, his attitude cold and ruthless.

Shen Boyan gently rubbed his fingertips, as if reminiscing on the touch and temperature left on the fingertips, then he raised his eyes to look at Ge Xiu: “What? Do you have somewhere to go?”

“…It’s none of your business.”

Ge Xiu raised the corners of his lips and showed a fake smile, but this smile didn’t reach his eyes.

He quickened his pace and tried to get around Shen Boyan’s side, but the other side’s figure turned sideways slightly, cleverly blocking Ge Xiu’s way.

Ge Xiu frowned, his face darkened:

“Don’t force me to do it.”

“Oh?” Shen Boyan raised his eyebrows: “Do what, for example?”

Ge Xiu glanced at him quickly — his beast form had no advantages, if Shen Boyan’s beast genes were fully awakened, his physical strength and speed would have an absolute dominance above him, and there would be basically no possibility of winning.

But the other person was still wearing the collar, so he should not unable to fully recover his strength.

If he fights skilfully, he should be able to hold back the opponent right now.

Ge Xiu was calculating in his mind how to pass the opponent’s obstacles with the fastest speed and efficiency, when suddenly, his eyes widened from shock.

A strange tingling sensation climbed up from the depths of his bone marrow, biting at his flesh and blood like ants, the burning-scorching sensation spread through his internal organs in an instant.

This feeling was overpowering, instantly overwhelming Ge Xiu’s nervous system.

It was so familiar that Ge Xiu instantly realised what was happening — the time that the drug’s effects laster was even shorter than he expected.

Ge Xiu’s legs softened, he staggered in his steps almost falling to the ground.

Shen Boyan was keenly aware that something was wrong with him, and rushed over in big strides, supporting Ge Xiu, who was on the verge of collapse.

Ge Xiu raised his hands and grabbed Shen Boyan’s sleeve, trying to get himself away from the other’s arms, but his limbs lost their strength under the effect of the medicine, the weak pushing was more like soft dishonest refusal.

“What’s wrong?”

Shen Boyan’s brows were slightly furrowed, his lips were pursed tightly, he carefully observed the other’s state with a hint of imperceptible anxiety flashing in his dark eyes: “Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”

Ge Xiu felt as if a fire was burning at the top of his head and on his tailbone, the sore and numb stinging spread on the local skin.

Oh no!

At this rate, he will return to his previous appearance in front of Shen Boyan!

The confrontation he wanted to escape at all costs would come without warning — the last thing he wanted to see!

Ge Xiu struggled anxiously and stumbled out of Shen Boyan’s arms.

At the same time, there was a clear feeling brought by the ears slowly emerging from the top of his head.

Ge Xiu’s heart tightened.

Shen Boyan quickly grabbed Ge Xiu, who was struggling to escape, and pulled him over again, wrapping around the teenager’s slender waist. He frowned, holding a tight grip: “What are you…”

His eyes swept over the other person’s head, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously swallowed the rest of his words back into his throat.

Between the soft strands of hair, two fluffy cat ears poked out, trembling nervously under his gaze.

Shen Boyan was stunned and felt something soft wrapped around his wrist. He subconsciously grabbed the soft fluffy tail with his backhand and touched upwards, at the end pinching it gently at the base of the tail.

Ge Xiu: “!!!”

A sore and numb sensation came from the place where he was touched, his limbs seemed to have been drowned by the fiery heat.

His waist softened involuntarily and he fell into Shen Boyan’s arms limply.
