After leaving the hotel, the two returned to the Nanwan Xiang District.
Yue Fei actually did not have enough to eat. Gu Wei seemed to not have time to eat at the banquet either. When they got home, Yue Fei turned to ask Gu Wei before the man started to walk upstairs, "You didn't eat anything, right. I'll cook some noodles and we can eat together, is that alright?"
Gu Wei finally realized what he had forgotten when he took Yue Fei to the banquet today.
"Are you hungry? I'll ask Tang Yue to bring something to eat."
Yue Fei: "No need, I can cook it myself, did you want to eat together?"
Yue Fei asked him out of politeness, but to Gu Wei's ears, it seemed that Yue Fei wanted him to stay to eat dinner together.
"Sure." Gu Wei sat down in the dining room very consciously, waiting for Yue Fei to cook the noodles.
Seeing this, Yue Fei touched his nose and went into the kitchen alone.
He made the same egg noodles as last time, everything was ready in less than fifteen minutes.
Gu Wei looked at the clear soup in the bowl for a while, and then stretched out his chopsticks after his pause.
Under the light, the two seemed to be a real family, eating at the same dining room under the same roof and on the same table.
With only the two of them alone in the Nanwan Xiang District at night, this reminded Gu Wei of the omega pheromone he had smelled the other night.
He had confirmed that Yue Fei is not an omega, so there was only one possibility left...
Yue Fei must have used something that contains omega pheromones in his room that night.
"Do you know why I only want to marry a beta?" Gu Wei asked suddenly.
Yue Fei raised his eyes: "Why?"
"I don't like the smell of omega pheromones." Gu Wei said.
His underline meaning being 'So, don't use perfumes, shower gels, and shampoos that use the gimmick of this item that contains omega pheromones will attract an alpha...'
"Oh."
Yue Fei did not know Gu Wei's subtext at all, and only though he was looking for something to talk with him.
The original work actually briefly mentioned the reason why Gu Wei does not like omega pheromones.
Due to his own excellence and the Gu Family's background, Gu Wei has encountered countless omegas since he differentiated into an alpha. Being sexually harassed by various sweet pheromones every day, Gu Wei did not degenerate himself or fall into the honey traps set by the gang of omegas that was sent to his door. Instead, he suffered from a mild Omegaphobia. He will not get sexually aroused or get strong desires stirred up by omega pheromones, but instead he will be physiologically disgusted.
Of course, Gu Wei would not confess his mild Omegaphobia to other people, so he only shows that he has no interest in Omega to other people.
In the original work, Yin Xinchen is a rare omega that Gu Wei does not dislike, because Yin Xinchen has never tried to seduce him.
"I wouldn't have known if you didn't tell me," Yue Fei opened his eyes and said nonchalantly.
Gu Wei thought the boy understood his underlying meaning, and put down his chopsticks after slurping the last sip of soup: "It's not too late to know now. I'm done, I'll go up first."
Yue Fei nodded: "Okay, good night."
Gu Wei got up, and after two steps, he suddenly remembered and said, "...go to sleep early."
Yue Fei, who was clearing the dishes, was taken aback when he heard this sentence. Looking back, Gu Wei had already gone upstairs.
...
The next day, Yue Fei returned to school. This month is the mid-term exam month. Professors of various subjects have successively arranged mid-term assessments. Yue Fei's pressure to study hard is at its max stress level.
The results of the first mid-term exam last week have come out. Yue Fei saw his results, bit his finger, and opened the chat message with Tang Yue.
Yue Fei: Secretary Tang, I heard that you are a top 2 graduate student in China?
Soon, Tang Yue replied: Yes, what you need?
Yue Fei: [Picture] think I can be saved?
Tang Yue was paid by Gu Wei, with Yue Fei knowing his educational background, he must have heard this from his boss, so...
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Yue seems to be having a little trouble with his exams."
Tang Yue presented the picture that Yue Fei sent to him and showed it to his boss for review.
The red letter 58 in capital was glaring.
Gu Wei: "What is the full score?"
Tang Yue: "100..."
Gu Wei: "..." He has never seen such a low score.
Tang Yue tried to speak for Yue Fei: "Mr. Yue may...not be well prepared when he was taking the exam."
Gu Wei pointed to the 58-point picture: "Clear yourself of all work this month, your focus is on this matter."
In fact, he could have hired a good private tutor to teach Yue Fei, but Gu Wei felt that he should not let more people know about such results.
Even if the boy was just an agreement partner, Gu Wei could not accept this kind of test result from his partner.
With such a simple exam, anyone could easily get an 80 or 90 mark without trying, if they put in a little effort, isn't that just an easy full mark? How can anyone get such a low score?
Yue Fei had no idea that he was being listed as the main job for someone. After receiving an affirmative answer from Tang Yue's willingness to help him with his study, he felt relaxed.
After class, Yue Fei returned to Gu Wei's apartment next to the school. After finished eating and drinking, he listened to the online class in his study and waited for Tang Yue to tutor him.
The teacher in the video is talking about advanced Algebra, but Yue Fei felt like he was listening to an audio book.
Although he has a poor foundation, he has never felt that this brain of his had such a hard time consuming knowledge.
Is he really not made for learning?
Hearing a faint sound outside the door, it must be Tang Yue coming to tutor him. Yue Fei immediately opened the door and greeted him at the entrance.
"Gu...Mr. Gu?"
At first glance, Yue Fei saw Gu Wei with a solemn face, then Tang Yu who smiled friendly at him.
"I live here starting now." Gu Wei explained.
Yue Fei looked at Gu Wei, then at Tang Yue, and nodded: "Okay!"
What can he say?
Gu Wei went into the study as usual after entering the door, Yue Fei consciously took out his textbook and sat on the living room carpet.
"Secretary Tang, let's study here."
Tang Yue: "Okay."
Yue Fei: "There are too many subjects for the mid-term exams this month. You can help me see which ones I can sort of pass with my current marks, and I'll try to pass it."
Tang Yue: "Okay, let's sort it out according to the time of the exam and the difficulty of the content, and then I will give you an overall plan, and we will review it as we go forward."
Yue Fei: "Okay. By the way, have you eaten yet? Should I cook a bowl of noodles for you?"
Tang Yue: "No, thank you. I have eaten at the company."
"Oh, okay."
...
Gu Wei seldom lived here. There was no thermostatic kettle that was always left on unlike the one in his other study room. At this time of the day, Aunt Chen had already returned to her home, so Gu Wei had to go out and pour some water for himself.
In the living room, Tang Yue was lowering his head to explain the math problems to Yue Fei. Because Yue Fei was sitting across from him as he explained the problem they were working on now, Yue Fei could not see the whole picture of the problem at hand. He started to move in closer to Tang Yue so they both could look at the problem with same perspective of the math problem that uses angles and figures, Tang Yue went through the step by step problem-solving.
Both he and Tang Yue were so immersed in the atmosphere of solving the problem, that they did not pay attention to their positions at that moment.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Wei came out, he saw the two were very close to each other.
The moment the alpha frowned, the scent of wild rosin spread along with a faint chill in the air.
Tang Yue felt a threat coming towards him, his hairs on his back was standing straight up, he straightened up and turned his head and saw his boss's eyes with an unexplainable look in them.
Yue Fei did not know what was going on. He noticed Tang Yue's strangeness. He turned around and saw Gu Wei standing there. He also saw that he was holding an empty glass in his hand. Thinking that he was out to get some water to drink, Yue Fei stood up and took the glass.
"Would you like some water? I will pour it for you."
Yue Fei entered the kitchen. There were only two alphas left in the living room. Gu Wei's non-convergent pheromones that were released put pressure on Tang Yue.
"President Gu?" Tang Yue said cautiously.
The last time he saw Mr. Gu look so angry, was back when he was dealing with an extremely unsatisfactory negotiation six months ago.
Suddenly, Gu Wei seemed to have realized that he went a bit overboard, so he put away his pheromones and said to Tang Yue: "Go back for today."
Tang Yue: "Okay, then I'll go back first."
When Yue Fei came out, he found that his tutor had disappeared after he only went to get some water.
"Why did Secretary Tang leave?" Yue Fei asked while holding Gu Wei's glass.
Gu Wei: "There was an urgent matter."
Yue Fei approached and handed him the glass.
"Okay, then I'll study by myself."
Gu Wei took the glass, but did not go back to the study room immediately.
Yue Fei sat down on the carpet and waited for a while to find that there was no movement behind his back. When he turned around, he saw Gu Wei was still standing and said, "What's wrong?"
"Next month, the International Top 1 University of Berne Alumni Association will invite me back to school for a ceremony," Gu Wei said suddenly.
"Oh!"
"Because I'm the youngest PhD and excellent alumni in Bern."
Yue Fei was taken aback, he really did not know this!
"Should I go with you?"
Gu Wei: "If you want to."
Suddenly, Yue Fei realized, isn't Gu Wei a better choice than Tang Yue in education?
Yue Fei looked at Gu Wei with glitter in his eyes: "Are you free now? There are still a few questions I don't understand, can you help me go through them."
Gu Wei put his hand in his pocket, swallowed his saliva, and tried to act calm: "Sure."
