Mutated PheromonesCh46 - So this is What Being Held by a Larger Hand Feels Like

Editor: DarkSapphire, Sahloknir

Yue Ran rarely visited the game forum, so he was unaware of the creation of this new cult. Icb0gH

But his gossip-loving roommate went shopping, but Lin Qian didn’t visit the game forums, but the school ones. So seeing Yueran returning late again, he washed up and climbed into bed as if nothing had happened, and he followed him.

However, his gossip-loving roommate did, but Lin Qian browsed the school forum and not the game forum. Seeing Yue Ran come home late again, washing and climbing into bed like nothing happened, he climbed up with him.

Yue Ran looked at the unwanted guest in silence.

Lin Qian studied him. “You ought to be good with stressful things right?” Vl1St

Yue Ran nodded.

So Lin Qian went straight to the topic and showed his phone.

Yue Ran looked at the content and found that it was the school forum with a concise and clear title: [The School Grass is Dating!]

Yue Ran: “…”

Lin Qian said with admiration, “Look at the number of messages. Your husband sure is super popular.”

Yue Ran corrected, “Not my husband.”

Lin Qian revised, “Soon-to-be-husband.”

Yue Ran: “…” xHpPX4

Lin Qian said, “What are you looking at me for? Was I wrong? You dare to say you don’t feel anything for him?”

Yue Ran quietly pondered for a moment.

Lin Qian reckoned that he didn’t like to share emotional topics with others, and of course it might be because they didn’t know each other that well, so he stopped quickly to avoid annoying people: “Okay, I just want to tell you, you can see for yourself.”

Lin Qian assumed that the other man didn’t like to share emotional topics. Of course, it might also be because they weren’t very close with each other yet, so he quickly stopped himself in order to avoid annoying his roommate. “Fine, I’m just telling you in advance, you go see for yourself.” hoFIXc

He paused and added, “Zhou Jieying came by looking for you earlier, and asked about your nightly adventures these few days. I think he must know it as well.”

Yue Ran gave his thanks, watched his roommate leave, logged in to the university forum using his phone and clicked on the post.

The landlord posted a picture of him and Jiang Xiao walking side by side outside the school. There were two photos taken from their back and one from the front. Included the following texts: [Our school grass is definitely dating. I have seen them together at least three times!]

—[Holy fuck, who is this?] ylUP2c

—[Can you stop blindly assuming? They are not even holding hands!]

—[It’s a first-year. Did anyone ask if they are related?]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

—[What kind of question is that? Would you take your relative out every night? Who else have you seen him spend time with in the past two years?]

—[Looked pretty average. What did he like about him?] 4Qnldj

—[Hey upstairs, are you blind? Yes, everyone is feeling sour, but the sourness doesn’t hinder our eyes! Come, let me share a link. This first-year is in the top five in the freshman beauty ranking. Take a closer look and repeat to me that he looks pretty average again!]

Yue Ran scrolled down and scanned through the messages. He found that several of them had an unfriendly tone.

But he had already guessed that there would be many people criticizing him, and few brain-dead people would actually come to him and beg him to let go. As for some scheming ones, we had to wait until they encountered them, so he closed it calmly. post.

However, he had long guessed that many people would comment on him, a few brainless people would really come to his face and beg him to let the other man go, and as for some scheming people, he would think of a way to handle those once he met one, so he calmly closed the post. 21YGFM

Then his phone made a noise. It was a new WeChat message from Jiang Xiao.

The senior also saw the post and knew that even if he didn’t see it, someone else would share the link to him, so the senior took the initiative to tell him to ignore it, saying he would take care of it.

[Yue Ran: You have the power to delete posts?]

[Jiang Xiao: My friend has. I’ll report this as a personal attack and have him delete it.] 8BghXd

[Yue Ran: There was a personal attack?]

[Jiang Xiao: Yes, they said you aren’t good looking.]

[Yue Ran: …]

[Jiang Xiao: Try to head to sleep early and leave everything to me.] XCIPrk

Yue Ran responded speechlessly, glanced at the time, and was thinking about whether to play something else, only to hear two knocks on the door, and Zhou Jieying came again. He had always been familiar with himself, so he climbed onto Yueran’s bed and handed over his mobile phone. It was the post, and it happened to be the floors where the discussions were most intense.

He complained, “Look at what they said about you!”

Yue Ran quietly observed the other person. 83NVmD

Sure enough, with a comparison, he could see this person’s quality.

Lin Qian first asked about his level of stress before showing him and only showed him the title. While Zhou Jieying was more aggressive, showing him the ugliest post about him. If he was just a little bit fragile, he would have lost sleep tonight.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Zhou Jieyang comforted, “Don’t be angry. I’ve already scolded them.”

Yue Ran replied, “Oh, thank you.” IrwWsD

“Don’t need to say thanks between us,” Zhou Jieying looked at him properly. The amount of curiosity in those eyes was the perfect amount. “What is your relationship with him?”

Yue Ran told the truth. “He is pursuing me.”

Zhou Jieying exclaimed in surprise, “He is pursuing you?”

As soon as he made a scene, everyone in the room turned towards them, making Zhou Jieying hurriedly shut his own mouth. woB5T6

Lin Qian sneered at this.

This person was definitely up to no good. He could roughly guess either the other was spreading the news to the whole dormitory, or because of an instinctive response from a moment of jealousy.

Seeing others all looking away, Zhou Jieying lowered his volume and continued, “Did you say yes?”

Yue Ran replied, “Not yet.” a4nodz

Zhou Jieying observed his expression, and agreed: “Well, this kind of thing should be carefully considered, not just looking at the face, the most important thing is that you like it, but if you really succeed, remember to treat me.”

Zhou Jieying studied the other’s expression and agreed, “Yes, this kind of thing needs careful consideration. You can’t just judge books by their appearance. The most important thing is to go by what you like. But if you guys really got together, remember to treat us.”

Yue Ran uttered “Oh” before he said, “I’m going to sleep.”

Zhou Jieying understood the hidden meaning, said goodnight and left immediately. dM P5h

No sooner after he left, another roommate returned.

There are four people in their dormitory, one is Yueran, one is Lin Qian who likes to gossip, one is rather shy and is reading in bed at the moment, and the other one is often confused because he and his boyfriend were admitted to the same school. Mostly with my boyfriend.

Each dorm room held four students. There was Yue Ran, Lian Qian, the gossip lover, a quiet shy one who was reading on his bed at the moment, and the remaining one who rarely revealed himself, like seeing the head of a heavenly dragon but never the tail. Because he and his boyfriend attended the same university, he was basically with his boyfriend at most times.

He did a simple wash, changed into his pajamas, and nimbly went up to Yue Ran’s bed. N9gspq

Yue Ran: “…”

What was up with today? Why was everyone looking for him?

The roommate approached mysteriously and asked, “I asked Zhou Jieying earlier and he told me you are still single, right?”

Yue Ran nodded. w ZM6U

The roommate took out a photo on his phone and handed it to him: “Handsome? My husband’s hair is an Alpha, and we were in the same class. The day before yesterday we went to the supermarket to buy fruit and met my husband. Do you have any impression?” He was by my husband’s side at the time, and he was very interested in you. If he wants your WeChat account, why don’t you start talking as friends?”

The roommate took out his phone, flipped to a specific photo and handed it to him. “Handsome, right? He is my husband’s childhood friend, an alpha in our year. Remember, a few days ago when we went to the supermarket together and met my husband? He was with my husband and was very interested in you. He asked for your WeChat. Why don’t you two get to know each other first?”

Yue Ran: “…”

The roommate insisted, “He is very nice. I’ll vouch with my head.” BKZFCa

Instead of answering, Yue Ran pulled up the school grass post before it was deleted and showed it to the other person.

The roommate was startled.

He didn’t pay attention to gossip, and as someone who always returned later than Yue Ran, he wasn’t aware that Yue Ran went out every night. After reading the post, he asked, “But aren’t you single?”

Yue Ran asked his own question. “He is pursuing me. Is that childhood friend as handsome as him?” sGaNXo

The roommate naturally met Jiang Xiao before. Recalling the extremely handsome man who appeared during the first day of the training, he sincerely replied, “I’m very sorry to take up your time.”

As he was about to turn and leave he thought something wasn’t right. He looked back. “But that person has a very good character and is very good at taking care of others. Don’t be dead set on turning him down. Our training will be over soon. Let’s go out and stroll around the campus scenic spots?”

Yue Ran rejected this without considering it. “I want to stroll around with Jiang Xiao.”

He shocked himself as soon as the words were out of his mouth. B2u0 8

Probably because he went out with Jiang Xiao a lot recently, he didn’t feel nervous and resisted anymore, instead he felt quite happy, which led to Jiang Xiao’s first thought of this kind of sightseeing.

Probably from being out with Jiang Xiao so often these days. Instead of feeling nervous or being opposed to his senior, he actually felt pretty happy. As a result, Jiang Xiao was the first person that popped into his mind when strolling around the campus.

The roommate was an experienced person, he understood just after one glance. “Oh, so you actually like the senior as well.”

Yue Ran declined, “…I don’t.” 8jLH69

The roommate reached out and patted his shoulder. “You don’t need to explain yourself. I understand everything. Pretend that I never brought this up. Goodnight.”

Yue Ran: “…”

What did you mean you understand everything!

He watched his roommate leave. He gave up all hope of clearing any misunderstanding, threw himself onto his bed, and closed his eyes to sleep. 5WqzEj

After the military training the next day, Yue Ran went out as usual, the difference was that Zhou Jieying was chatting with him all the time, and when he heard that he was going out, he followed him downstairs on the pretext of shopping.

The next day after the military training, Yue Ran arrived at the training at the last minute as usual. The only difference was that Zhou Jieying was pestering him for a chat. When the other heard he was going out, he also followed him down the stairs on the pretext of needing to shop as well.

When Jiang Xiao waited for Yue Ran, he saw the youth was maintaining a straight face. It seemed his little summoner wasn’t thrilled, so he couldn’t resist the urge to glance at the source, Zhou Jieying who was walking closely beside him.

Zhou Jieying smiled and greeted, “Hello, senior.” 6Q5oUB

Jiang Xiao nodded as a response.

Zhou Jieying asked, “I need to buy some laundry detergent. The supermarket operated by the university doesn’t have the brand I want. Does the senior know the nearest supermarket near here?”

Jiang Xiao said, “North gate, just go straight across the road.”

Yue Ran: “…” ed3uEo

Roasted.

The socializing area was close to the south gate. Very convenient for students to go out.

From here to the north gate, it would mean a student had to travel more than half of the university. All in all, it was very far from here.

Zhou Jieying’s smile stiffened slightly, as he wondered, “That’s so far away. There isn’t one near the south gate?” JK37yh

Jiang Xiao replied, “Don’t know.”

Zhou Jieying was distressed for a moment and clapped once a few seconds later. “Forget it, I’ll look around the south gate first. If not, I can just order it online instead of walking that far.”

He paused and asked curiously, “Senior, where are you going?”

Jiang Xiao said, “South gate.” NQ xSV

Zhou Jieying explained, “Ah! Then we happened to be heading in the same direction.”

“No, we’re not,” Jiang Xiao corrected indifferently. “I don’t like having a light bulb on a date. Best if you go help yourself.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

After he said that, he naturally took Yue Ran’s hand, nodded to Zhou Jieying, and pulled the other man away.

Yue Ran suddenly felt delighted inside and quickly slipped out of the socialising area with the senior until they reached the Chinese parasol trees, and he realised they were still holding hands. He hurriedly tried to shake off the larger hand. n N1MZ

Jiang Xiao tightened his grip and whispered, “He’s still behind.”

Yue Ran was immediately honest, feeling the temperature seeping from the palm of the other party, his heartbeat was uncontrollably fast, and at the same time his thoughts were a little wandering, he secretly thought that this is the feeling of holding small hands, it is not the same as holding other people at all.

Yue Ran promptly stopped and became well-behaved. He could feel the temperature seeping from the other party’s palm as his heartbeat quickly reached an uncontrollable rate. At the same time, he had this secret train of thought of understanding this was how being held by a large hand felt like. It was different from other times.

Jiang Xiao gazed down at the youth and saw there was no disgust, his heart returned to its original spot. XqUbND

As soon as the post appeared yesterday, he thought that the little summoner would not want to see him anymore. Instead, Yue Ran didn’t turn down going out with him today, he even looked to be in a good mood.

While for Yue Ran, all of his senses were in their connected hands. He kept feeling like sweat was coming out of his palm as he asked, “Is he still there?”

Jiang Xiao answered, “Yes.”

Yue Ran uttered “Oh” unhappily. Then, after two seconds, he noticed something was wrong. “Wait, you didn’t look back. How did you know he’s still there?” dzCXH

Jiang Xiao chuckled.

Yue Ran immediately knew that he was tricked. He turned back and found Zhou Jieying was nowhere in sight, he wasn’t following them at all. Right away, Yue Ran shook off Jiang Xiao’s hand and was thinking about how this disaster was being shameless again.

Jiang Xiao pulled the youth back. “Don’t be angry. I just wanted to be close to you as much as possible.”

Yue Ran ignored him. w8mjL1

Jiang Xiao changed the topic. “You don’t like him?”

Yue Ran nodded very honestly in response.

He and Lin Qian discussed in private about how to get rid of Zhou Jieying.

Lin Qian analyzed that Zhou Jieying was too good at coming, and he had established a good relationship with the whole team. If he directly told Zhou Jieying not to bother him, Zhou Jieying would probably pretend to be pitiful. After all, people now think that he and Zhou Jieying are good friends, and Zhou Jieying has nothing If you don’t do it, you will be disgusted by him, and then he will be easily isolated. FcNCVX

Lin Qian analysed that Zhou Jieying was too good at barging in and had a good relationship with the whole team. If he asked Zhou Jieying not to bother him straight out, the other man would probably pretend to be pitiful towards others. After all, everyone thought he and Zhou Jieying were good friends and if he despised the other without a good reason, he would definitely be isolated by his whole team.

But he was used to being by himself, so it wouldn’t matter to be isolated again in university.

His cousin told him having two to three friends in college was good enough anyway, quality over quantity. Moreover, it wasn’t like they would stay in contact after graduation, so he was considering whether or not to rip off the other’s goody-two-shoes face.

Jiang Xiao asked, “Have you ever thought about how to get rid of him?” GANBaC

Yue Ran answered, “Yes, but I don’t have a way, still thinking of one.”

Jiang Xiao probably guessed his plan and stroked his head. “I’ll figure out a good way for you.”

“What?”

“You just wait and see.” LakHzy

Yue Ran already knew that the senior was like his cousin, not all good, but very reliable. So he happily accepted the other’s words.

They soon arrived at the internet cafe and got a private room on the third floor as usual.

Jiang Xiao looked at Yue Ran and walked forward with familiarity. After entering, he turned on both computers and squinted his eyes in satisfaction. He has been very disciplined recently, and it is obvious that Yue Yue is becoming more and more relaxed in front of him. And in the past, you had to pretend to be pitiful to get Yue Ran to go downstairs to see him, but now as long as you send a WeChat message, Yue Ran will come down, which is a good sign.

Jiang Xiao watched Yue Ran enter the room like it was his own home and turned both computers on, and curved his eyes with satisfaction. He had been very disciplined recently, and it showed as Yue Ran was acting more and more relaxed with him. Moreover, in the past, he had to put on a pitiful act for Yue Ran to come down and meet him. Now, Yue Ran would come down from any WeChat message. This was a great sign. 41gOuH

Yue Ran sensed the eyes and looked up. “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Xiao sat down beside him with a calm face. “Nothing. It’s just I think I like you more and more every day.”

Yue Ran: “…”

Jiang Xiao studied him and asked, “Have you developed any feelings towards me yet?” UbkiF0

Yue Ran revealed no expression on his face. “I don’t know.”

Jiang Xiao didn’t force him. He logged into the game and formed a party with Yue Ran. Then he turned on his livestream and watched the flying stream chat. He wanted to see the CP fans that he had painstakingly raised, but instead, he saw a group of people who were singing off-tune.

[Ao, ao, ao! Another arena with Little Star. Tempest Star for life!]

[Tempest Star, Tempest Star, Tempest Star~] 9jpJ3u

[Could you CP fans please stop flooding the chat with that. Inked God has shut the rumour down already! Can’t you all just keep it to yourself!]

[Then why could the Sunken Sun and Tempest Moon and what not be posted as well? Can’t we just have our fun?]

[If someone is single, then go ahead. But if you end up making them stop duoing in the future, don’t come crying to me when Tempest stops streaming!]

[Oh, you’re right!] Y0NZbA

[Sorry, so sorry. Male god, please pretend you saw nothing from me!]

Jiang Xiao was silent for a few seconds and told Yue Ran to wait first. He muted his mic, took out his phone, and opened the game forum. He scrolled through to find Inked Sun’s stream from last night, plugged his headphone from the rental computer into his phone, played the video and heard Inked Sun’s laughing voice. “Tempest Star CP…Is this a new cult?”

He couldn’t tell what Inked Sun’s viewers were saying, but the host immediately laughed out loud. “Don’t say that. This Gege is single and does not eat vinegar at all. But isn’t this rhythm a bit too loud to be able to reach my stream? You guys better not mention this at Tempest’s livestream…”

“I’m not going to tell you guys why, just don’t do it. What do you mean by taking over the stream with it? Fine, fine. You guys win, even if I didn’t disclose this, others would disclose this sooner or later. To tell you guys the truth, one of them is not single and with a very clingy partner. The partner probably watches the livestream, understand? So you guys better not make our lovely couple start quarrelling because of this.” 0jiDfs

Jiang Xiao: “…”

He turned back to his livestream and saw not one viewer mention [Tempest Star]. The CP he had worked so hard on had barely formed, and had smashed with a loud crash and shattered into pieces.
