For You

A new official on assumption of office sets three fires, and that fire spread relentlessly. The changes in the evening self-study session were carried out with much fanfare amidst the students' complaints and cheers.

Gui Yue only lasted two days before he couldn't take it anymore. Every night, others seriously did their homework, while he played tic-tac-toe with himself, almost going crazy.

After returning home, Gui Yue attentively served his parents fruit.

Father Gui smiled a non-smile: "You brat, now you know how to be your parents' 'little cotton jacket'? When you're attentive without reason, it's either theft or robbery."

Gui Yue said seriously: "I'm usually a 'little cotton jacket' too."

Father Gui very seriously refuted: "No, you're not."

Gui Yue...

Did he need to be so serious?

Seeing Mother Gui's gentle demeanor, Gui Yue lowered his head, his sharp face drooped slightly, his eyes revealing weariness, and he said in a drawn-out, dejected tone: "Mom and Dad, I'm so tired lately."

Father Gui shamelessly exposed him: "That's right, he plays chess to the point of forgetting himself every day."

Gui Yue pretended not to hear, continuing: "Evening self-study is too boring. My body isn't good to begin with, I need more sleep."

Father Gui:...

Mother Gui:...

Father Gui looked at his tall, strong Alpha son, who possessed resilient combat power.

"Before, when your body was weak, that was one thing, but is it still like that now?"

Gui Yue shamelessly nodded, even coughing twice for emphasis.

"He just doesn't want to study properly." Mother Gui sighed.

Gui Yue also sighed: "After all, I'm your biological son, this problem is also related to genetics."

Father and Mother Gui, who had never had good grades: (silent)

"Alright!" Father Gui impatiently waved his hand: "Do whatever you like, after you graduate from high school, I'll send you abroad, don't stay here being an eyesore to your parents."

Mother Gui, who used to be a female hooligan, showed no reaction, seemingly having given up the dream of having a studious child.

Although Gui Yue's parents tacitly agreed, Gui Yue didn't immediately skip school, but waited two days before running off.

He had to show some respect to the new principal, after all.

When the dismissal bell rang, the students went to eat. As Gui Yue, Lan Yun Jie, and Jiang He were eating, he slowly said: "I'm not going back for evening self-study anymore."

Lan Yun Jie: !!!

"I want to skip school too!" Lan Yun Jie sobbed, looking at Gui Yue with a resentful wife's expression, groaning: "Brother Gui, why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"What are you skipping school for?" Gui Yue sneered: "Jiang He teaches you homework, don't you like it a lot?"

Lan Yun Jie collapsed onto the table, wailing and crying, utterly defeated: "How can studying compare to playing!"

"Stop talking nonsense, get back to school." Gui Yue kicked Lan Yun Jie, then turned to look at Jiang He.

Jiang He was looking worriedly at Lan Yun Jie.

Gui Yue rubbed his forehead, patted Jiang He, and jerked his chin towards the other side: "Lan Yun Jie's studies are entrusted to you."

Jiang He immediately stood straight, his eyes firm, and nodded seriously: "Brother Gui, don't worry."

Gui Yue chuckled softly, left the restaurant, abandoning his juniors, and walked away without looking back.

It was rush hour now, and there were many cars on the road, a line of them stopped under the traffic light near the school.

The Alpha, Gui Yue, with his long legs, stood under the traffic light, looking at his phone. The screen light shone on his face, making his dark eyes seem sprinkled with starlight.

Gui Yue changed his stance, and just as he was about to take out his phone to call some friends from outside school to hang out, he caught a glimpse of the person beside him, and his eyes narrowed.

...Huh?

The top student also skipped school?

Perhaps noticing Gui Yue's gaze, the person turned and glanced, also startled.

"Skipping school?"

Gui Yue leaned closer, put his phone in his pocket, and asked teasingly. This must count as a weakness.

Jiang Qi raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting to coincidentally meet "super adorable" here.

Realizing that Jiang You had fallen into a deep subconscious sleep, Jiang Qi felt he could let loose a bit.

"Took leave." Jiang Qi's lips curved slightly, and he tilted his head, smiling at Gui Yue: "Are you skipping school?"

Under the traffic light, the youth's eyes sparkled, carrying a hint of cunning.

"Mm." Gui Yue coughed lightly.

Time slowly passed. Seven or eight seconds left on the red light, green light coming soon.

Jiang Qi looked at Gui Yue, feeling that this Alpha wasn't bad either.

"Want to go play?"

Gui Yue thought he had misheard.

It wasn't until Jiang Qi repeated it again that Gui Yue turned to look at Jiang Qi, and at this moment, he noticed that Jiang Qi was dressed very casually today.

His uniform zipper was pulled down low, no longer zipped all the way to his neck, revealing the white short-sleeved shirt underneath.

The yellow light flickered, the green light came on, and people around began to walk. Gui Yue regained his composure, unconsciously following Jiang Qi.

"Where are we going to play?"

Jiang Qi didn't want to go anywhere; he had simply taken leave because he was suppressed. He tilted his head to look at Gui Yue, feeling that anywhere was fine, and said: "You decide."

Gui Yue barely thought, blurting out a suggestion: "Let's go to the arcade."

When Gui Yue reacted, he embarrassedly rubbed his nose, his lips twitching: "I haven't been there in a long time."

Jiang Qi gave an "Mm," his hands in his pockets, and nodded: "Let's call a taxi."

Such a calm demeanor made Gui Yue feel like he was a step behind.

Moreover, why was he going out to play with an Omega he "disliked"?

While waiting for the car, the more Gui Yue thought, the more he didn't understand. He turned to look at Jiang Qi standing beside him, feeling troubled.

"Has the top student ever been to an arcade?"

Gui Yue really wanted to win back a round, so he asked with a smile.

Jiang Qi nodded. There was nothing unspeakable about this.

"Been there."

"What do you like to play?"

Hearing Gui Yue ask this, Jiang Qi thought for a moment and replied: "Shooting games, racing games."

Gui Yue gave an "Ah," raising his hand to cover the corners of his mouth that were curling up.

And claw machines.

The arcade wasn't near the school but in the city center. The two took a taxi for fifteen minutes to get there.

"Let's buy water."

Gui Yue and Jiang Qi went to the supermarket ahead to buy bottled water. When Gui Yue paid, he also bought chewing gum and lollipops at the checkout counter.

"You like candy, don't you?"

Jiang Qi raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Gui Yue. Last time he also had candy in his pocket, and this time he was restocking.

Gui Yue didn't feel this was anything embarrassing; why couldn't an Alpha eat candy?

Tearing open the chewing gum packet, Gui Yue offered Jiang Qi a piece.

"I want a lollipop too." Jiang Qi, giving an inch and taking a mile, said: "The pink one."

Gui Yue had bought two strawberry-flavored lollipops. Hearing this, he refused: "You eat something else, these are just two strawberry lollipops."

Last time Jiang Qi ate his strawberry lollipop, and he could only chew gum to curb his craving; he couldn't give it away again now!

Jiang Qi made a disdainful expression. So difficult to please, did he want to compete with him?

"If you want to eat it, buy it yourself."

After he said that, the atmosphere suddenly fell into an odd silence. Jiang Qi, who had just been loudly asking for candy, didn't say a word, nor did he show any reaction.

After a few seconds, he glanced at Jiang Qi. The other party seemed lost in thought, and time seemed to stand still. Gui Yue cursed inwardly, stood up, and went back into the supermarket.

Jiang Qi looked at Gui Yue's retreating figure, blinking.

When Gui Yue came out of the supermarket again, he took a strawberry-flavored lollipop from his pocket and said sullenly: "For you."

The Alpha's large hand held the pink lollipop, offering it to the young man.

Jiang Qi took the lollipop, his eyes full of mirth, his eyelids curved: "Thank you."

Gui Yue was frustrated that he had compromised with the Omega he "disliked." But as soon as he saw that smile, his mind went momentarily blank.

"No need to thank me, don't compete with me next time. The strawberry lollipops I buy can only be mine."

Gui Yue didn't know what he had just said. After speaking, he immediately strode towards the arcade.

Jiang Qi heard this and almost burst out laughing. This Alpha was too adorable; he didn't expect him to care so much about his lollipop.

Thinking this, Jiang Qi put the lollipop in his pocket, popped a piece of chewing gum into his mouth, and slowly walked forward, chewing the gum.

Smoking a lot, occasionally having a candy isn't bad either.

And the Alpha, who hadn't been walking fast to begin with, suddenly stopped, impatiently turned to look at Jiang Qi, and said irritably: "Are you related to a turtle or something, walking so slowly?"

Jiang Qi chuckled softly, quickly catching up.
