“No way, where are you going?”
Lin Qian hurried out and stopped Yue Ran in the hallway. Looking at the other’s state, it screamed out preparing to fight with someone.
Yue Ran answered, “Meeting a classmate.”
Lin Qian asked, “Meeting a classmate requires you to bring pepper spray?”
Yue Ran replied, “It’s a surprise for him.”
Understanding Lin Qian’s concerns, he paused and added, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious.”
This was the truth.
Chu Yuan as a school bully still had his principles. He had never laid a hand on an omega in his three years in school and generally would only bully alphas and betas.
Although the two of them often clashed, Chu Yuan was only keen on making his life harder, but never in a violent manner. He took the pepper spray with him, thinking if Chu Yuan had nothing to do and decided to continue to come seek him for trouble even after university, he would meet the other guy and teach the brute a good lesson.
Lin Qian suggested, “Why don’t you call up your husband?”
Yue Ran declined, “I can deal with him myself.”
Lin Qian: “…”
So after so many lies, the other was indeed going to fight!
He said, “Then wait a minute, let me go change, I’m coming with you.”
Yue Ran uttered, “You don’t have to. I asked him to meet me at the canteen entrance.”
Lin Qian was slightly startled and also relieved.
Around this time, the canteen’s traffic was like rush hour. He hesitated and asked, “Which canteen? Are you sure you will be alright?”
Yue Ran shared, “The first canteen. I’m sure I’ll be okay.”
He gave a few simple words of comfort, waved goodbye to Lin Qian and left the dormitory building. Lin Qian watched him leave. To be on the safe side, he ran back into their room, changed out of his pyjamas and sneaked out.
Chu Yuan was standing at the entrance of the canteen, looking around.
He was dressed in black sportswear, with sharp facial features and an aura of ‘this great one is the best in the world’. A very arrogant and obstinate appearance, displayed his alpha’s innate strength without restraint, giving a manifestly superior manner.
As soon as Yue Ran saw that face, he felt irritated. He walked over and asked, “Why were you looking for me?”
Chu Yuan looked at him, the tip of his nose twitched slightly and the emotion in his eyes changed. “What’s wrong with your pheromones?”
Yue Ran said, “I took a suppressant.”
Chu Yuan exclaimed, “You had your first estrus period?”
Yue Ran didn’t answer. He felt an itch on the hand that was hiding in his pants pocket with the pepper spray and repeated his question, “Why were you looking for me?”
“Just to see you.”
“Then?”
Chu Yuan put both his hands in his pockets, maintained a school bully’s worth of momentum, stared at the other man for a moment and gave a dry cough. “Came to make peace with you.”

Yue Ran studied him, and kept feeling like there was still a hidden scheme.
Chu Yuan didn’t meet the other’s gaze. He took the lead in walking into the canteen. After taking a few steps, he noticed Yue Ran wasn’t following him, so he stopped and stood with an ‘I’m waiting for you’ manner. Yue Ran reluctantly followed. Since his nemesis came to see him, he needed to act courteously like he was taught and should at least join in this meal.
They quickly found a seat and sat down.
Yue Ran had already eaten so he only bought a fruit platter. Chu Yuan ordered a curry on his recommendation. They sat on opposite sides. Chu Yuan buried himself in his meal, but he noticed the other kept looking at him. He subconsciously raised his eyes. “What are you looking at me for?”
Yue Ran said, “Trying to figure out what are you doing here.”
“I already told you, I want to make peace with you.”
“If you were targeted by someone for three years, would you reconcile with him?”
“…I didn’t do anything to you. Weren’t you the one chasing me with a broom?”
Yue Ran thought about that last part and was speechless.
But he still found a reason. “Your fault for being too annoying.”
Chu Yuan didn’t take it well. “How am I annoying?”
Yue Ran countered, “When are you not being annoying?”
Chu Yuan squinted at him, face full of ‘this great one is pissed’.
Yue Ran was not afraid of this look. He immediately squinted back with a slightly raised chin. His eyes were very beautiful, and with his prideful appearance…Chu Yuan quickly retrieved his aura and calmly withdrew his eyes. Indicating he was the bigger man and won’t lower himself to the other’s level. Yue Ran also didn’t want to start a quarrel with the alpha, so he waited patiently for his guest to finish eating. He thought it was time for the person to go, but instead, the other asked him to be a tour guide. He glared at his nemesis quietly.
Chu Yuan was unhappy again. “What’s the meaning of your look?”
Yue Ran answered, “It’s the ‘did you take the wrong medicine’ look.”
Chu Yuan said, “I have never been to T University. Is it wrong to want to look around?”
Yue Ran muttered about how if the other was tricking him, he would beat the alpha so badly that he would not be able to tell north from the south. Then he stood up reluctantly and took this guest around the school. During this period, he vaguely felt that the other seemed to have something he wanted to say to him. Maybe the alpha would share it once things turned normal, so he waited patiently. Who would have thought that even after they finished a small walk round, Chu Yuan still hadn’t given him the reason.
As the sky started to turn dark, the two arrived unwittingly on the road with the pairs of Chinese parasol trees.
Chu Yuan gazed down at him and said, “All right, you can go back. I have afternoon classes tomorrow and the day after. I couldn’t come during those two days. But I’ll come find you again when I don’t have classes.”
It took Yue Ran two quiet seconds to react. He took out the pepper spray expressionless, switched it on and aimed at the school bully.
Chu Yuan: “…”
How did things turn to this? Did he say something wrong!
Yue Ran felt that there was something wrong with this brute.
The expression was still the same, as well as the person. But compared with usual, there was less of an over-exaggerated air. He didn’t want to prolong their meeting and asked, “Why is it so hard to tell me the truth?”
Chu Yuan’s expression stiffened. For the first time, he stammered, “Te-tell what truth?”
Yue Ran said, “What kind of game are you playing? Did you come up with new tricks to mess with me? Let me tell you, I don’t want to play the role of affectionate classmates with you. You’d better hurry up and tell me straight.”
Chu Yuan stiffened again. His hands were still in his pockets, and the muscles on his forearm were tense.
He was silent for a moment, saw the pepper spray was getting closer and quickly said in a tight voice, “I’m here only to make peace. I shouldn’t keep causing trouble for you. I shouldn’t have bullied students who wanted to help you. I shouldn’t have isolated you. I was too naive, immature, bad tempered and didn’t know how to see your problems from your point of view. Now I’m learning from the past, wanting to reform, to turn over a new leaf, and I hope to have a chance to correct my mistakes…”
This string of words were spoken quickly and without much thought, the content was almost inaudible.
Yue Ran stared blankly at him and suddenly asked, “Did you memorise this speech in advance?”
Chu Yuan was so nervous that his brain was blank so he subconsciously answered, “Yes.”
As soon as he answered, his face suddenly darkened. In a panic, he put on his ‘school bully’ self, snorted a “In short, that’s it”, turned and left.
What the hell was that guy doing? Was he really trying to make up?
Yue Ran was still holding the pepper spray, and gazed at the almost fleeing figure in bafflement. He put away the defensive tool and walked away. When he was about to reach the socialising arena, he heard his phone ring. Jiang Xiao was calling, so he pressed the green button.
Jiang Xiao asked, “Where are you?”
Yue Ran said, “Dormitory.”
Jiang Xiao’s low voice raised slightly, and hummed with a smile.
Yue Ran said, “I just sent off my classmate. I’m almost at the dormitory.”
Jiang Xiao informed him, “I’m also outside. Wait for me downstairs.”
Yue Ran obediently muttered an okay noise, stood at the dormitory gate and waited for two minutes before seeing Jiang Xiao walking over.
Jiang Xiao studied at the youth for a moment, and pulled the man into his arms after seeing his darling was fine. He patted the soft hair and asked about this classmate, learned that this was just an ordinary classmate. So he scrolled through his phone, pulled up the university forum and passed his phone over. “An ordinary classmate who you needed to defend yourself with pepper spray?”
Yue Ran glanced at the content of the phone speechlessly.
Photos of him and Chu Yuan walking around the campus were posted on the forum. The last one was the two’s ‘confrontation’ at the Chinese parasol trees road. A group of onlookers flared up immediately, some guessed this was his former boyfriend, and a few more malicious ones said he was cheating. How after he captured the school grass’s heart, he then abandoned the other man, and now ex-boyfriend was knocking on his door.
Jiang Xiao naturally knew that this was all nonsense.
However, he knew that Yue Ran didn’t have a good experience in high school. The person in the photo looked like an alpha, maybe there was a past history, so he hurried to Yue Ran when he saw this post. “You don’t have a good relationship with him?:
Yue Ran confirmed, “Yes, we used to fight.”
Jiang Xiao frowned, “Then what was he doing here today?”
Yue Ran also wanted to know the answer, so he gave a detailed summary.
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked a seemingly irrelevant question, “Did anyone pursue you in your three years of high school?”
“No.”
“Did anyone confess to you?”
Yue Ran felt conflicted by the question but he told the truth, “There was a beta, but he ignored me after his confession. Later, I heard it was from a bet he lost.”
Jiang Xiao looked at his little summoner with a subtle expression.
He used to wonder about how such a likeable Ran Ran had no admirers, it was a miracle that was unheard of. But it turned out it was not because there were no secret admirers, but a bully blocking the way.
Yue Ran asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Xiao pinched Yue Ran’s chin for a kiss. “Nothing. Next time your classmate comes back, let me know and I’ll entertain him with you.”
Yue Ran was of course unhappy. “I don’t want to host him.”
Jiang Xiao said, “Easy. Leave it to your husband to handle.”
Yue Ran uttered “Okay” as he was pulled into the canteen, fed with a mango bowl, and was held and kissed until his whole body turned soft. So he went upstairs in a daze.
Lin Qian just peeked over, making sure the other returned whole. Now he saw the deep, blushing ears and almost rolled down the bed in surprise. “Was…was he the classmate who you broke up with?”
Yue Ran said, “No, I was with Jiang Xiao.”
Lin Qian immediately relaxed and patted his chest. He was frightened by his imagination.
Yue Ran didn’t know how astray his roommate’s thoughts went. He returned the pepper spray. After a shower, he turned on his laptop and ran to play games with Jiang Xiao. Lin Qian continued to scroll through the gossip. While the other shy roommate read his book as usual. The only one missing was the one who was always the last to return. After a lovey-dovey day with his husband, he came back while humming a tune. Today was like any other day.
Then at this time, an excited exclamation burst out in another room. “Holy fuck! You guys, come take a look at this bag!”
The person’s roommates came up in surprise and asked, “What?”
The man was watching a fashion show.
He paused the video and turned the screen towards them. “I asked around. Yue Ran made that bag himself. Don’t you think it looks like this one? This was in this August’s fashion show. One of the new products. I did some research and found this bag was produced in a limited amount after the show.”
The roommates were stunned.
They also majored in fashion design. Of course they knew the importance of originality. There was no issue with Yue Ran creating his own bag, but plagiarism was another story.
“He looks well off. Can’t he just buy one?”
“Limited amount, I guess he wasn’t able to get one?”
“Then he made himself a counterfeit. Isn’t that too shameful!”
“Our teacher certainly doesn’t like plagiarism.”
The more perfect a person was, the easier for others to be jealous.
When Yue Ran started university, he attracted a lot of attention. He had the looks, the money, and the school grass. Now they found that he created a counterfeit, they immediately revealed their hatred with similar folks.
Zhou Jieying was somewhat excluded from the group since the medicine incident. At the moment, he was just standing outside the group and whispered, “Whose fashion show is this? Who is the original designer?”
The man said dreamly, “Deng Ling, my goddess.”
Another chimed in, “I know her. Does she have a Weibo? Try and send her a private message.”
“Are you kidding me? This kind of thing happens very often in the fashion industry. Why would she care about a student plagiarising her own bag?”
“Maybe if the student was also in the same industry. My goddess is very steadfast!”
Zhou Jieying said, “Isn’t it better to let the professors handle it?”
The others looked at him at the same time.
Zhou Jieying explained, “I think a famous designer like this must be very busy, I don’t know if she could take the time out of her busy schedule to care about this trivial thing. If the professor knows, they would talk with Yue Ran. Maybe there will be consequences if he continues to carry the backpack. We’re all classmates, there’s no need to make such a huge deal out of this.”
The others were silent.
This kind of thing was okay for them to discuss in private. Who was actually willing to make it into a big deal by reporting it?
Oh, this was not impossible.
They glanced at Zhou Jieying, laughed, threw it to the back of their mind and started talking about something else.
I can almost bet that it was actually Ranran who made the bag~.
Thanks for the chapter!
+1also, Deng Ling is YR’s mom
Ohh I completely forgot about that ⊙ω⊙ This will be even more fun then (•̀∀• ́)
+2
Thanks for the chapter! It is adorable how ML can turn his little lover into a soft kitten!
Thanks for the chapter
Deng Ling is… Yue Ran’s mother?
also surprised, turns out that the bully has been liking Yue Ran for a long time… nodding with JX
Yes, Deng Ling is Yue Ran’s mother.
It’s like the classic kindergarten boy who only know how to show his affection to the girl he likes by making her cry (rip)
That ‘leave it to your husband ‘ took me out! 🤣🤣
Thanks for the update 🤣❤️
Mr school bully you waited too long to reform, a more mature guy has won his heart. Zhou jieying… why hasn’t he transferred schools? If I were him I’d be too embarrassed to keep attending. Move to a whole different city for school
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
i was really worried for Ranran until i looked in the comments to remember Deng Ling is his mom!!thanks so much for the chapter <3
👏CALLED IT! Knew he had a crush on RanRan!
Haha imagine a school tyrant protecting a fierce little flower throughout high school from any other person who wanted to take it from him.
And in a short window of a few months his lovely tsun tsun flower was instantly snatched under his nose lmao
Lighting a candle for school bully’s broken heart
🕯
Well Your Ran grew up alongside his designer mom. And Deng Lin is also his mother’s name..Who knows maybe mom and this designer are one person, used her child’s design… Can’t wait for the truth of his background be revealed. And this Zhou Jieying still not learned his lesson( isn’t he the one who tried to seduced Jiang Xiao).
Bully the one you like is really annoying. I have experienced it myself, then it made me hate that person rather than liking.
Very true! Those two together sound like a very spitfire couple! Although Kudos to the bully, to still find attraction with our MC even despite his pheromones!
I need another chapter. please!
Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️
Oh those scheming kids. Poor RanRan. I bet he made the bag and his mom sold them for him. 😇
He wanted to be face slapped again…. Reincarnation is a skill Zhou Jieying 😏😂
I hope these eejeets at least did research on who Ran Ran’s mom is before making assumptions. 😅
Awww, poor CY. He was adorable. But tbh, his approach towards YR was such a major mistake. YR has low self-esteem because of his pheromone mutation already.
Carrying a bag to class that’s a handmade imitation of a brand name is literally not plagiarism unless he’s submitting it as an assignment as his own?? Like tons of YouTube videos on how to recreate brand name items, why would his classmates even talk about it
So Chu Yuan is the pitiful man, he guarded Ran Ran for Jiang Xiao 😂. And his effort produced pepper spray defense lol. Kinda sad kinda pathetic. And Zhou Jieying trying to do crowd control for others to do his dirty works but others long know his true face 🙄.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Deng Ling is his mother ughh those dumb fuckers
I can already imagine the teacher spitting nonsense and ran ran “but, that’s my mother….”
<3
