Someone saw Qin Chu and greeted him enviously, "Milo, hasn't Levi never taken a single day off?"
"That's great! I also want an alpha with a perfect score on the pheromone resistance test to be my model!"
Levi had been acting normally all this time, so Qin Chu had no idea how the other military academy students had been affected.
Now, after hearing what others have said, Qin Chu realized that Levi's previous test results were not just boasting; they were indeed quite remarkable.
When Qin Chu arrived at the art studio, a certain alpha who was being praised was already standing inside.
While Qin Chu was away, he secretly lifted the white cloth covering the canvas and peeked at the painting.
"What are you doing?" Qin Chu caught him red-handed.
Alpha was startled and quickly sat up straight: "Just taking a look. I heard the submission deadline has been postponed?"
"Yes, too many military academy students are taking leave." Qin Chu nodded.
“Right?” Levy’s expression turned expectant again. “So many people couldn’t hold on, the instructors were pretty angry too.”
That would definitely make me angry.
Qin Chu seamlessly adopted the role of an instructor. If his soldiers were all so incompetent, Qin Chu would definitely teach them a lesson.
In his view, alphas are susceptible to both heat cycles and estrus cycles, so they shouldn't be in military school at all.
With this in mind, Qin Chu looked up and asked, "You alphas can't resist smelling the pheromones of an Omega in heat?"
The alpha, who had been standing comfortably in front of Qin Chu's easel, paused and moved back a little.
Only after standing a meter away did Levi cough lightly: "Hmm... I guess so?"
Qin Chu, completely oblivious to how private the question was, continued, "What would be the most severely affected state?"
"Senior, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Levy glanced at him.
"Huh? What do you mean by doing it on purpose?" Qin Chu stroked the bristles on his paintbrush, completely bewildered.
Levi stared at him for two seconds, then reached out and tugged at his coat collar. He looked away and exhaled softly before saying, "What state... well, what state we were in that day."
Qin Chu paused, then plucked the bristles off the paintbrush.
His relationship with Levy had become very natural.
But there are always times when a feeling of unease suddenly surges up from the soles of your feet.
For example, yesterday Levi said to him, "Senior, you need to reapply your concealer."
For example, now Alpha turns his head and whispers, "Our state that day."
That day, that state of mind.
Without even thinking about it, a surge of heat rose in the skin of Qin Chu's neck glands.
The heat of her breath, the pain of sharp teeth gnawing through the fabric, and the cool, moist touch of her lips.
Chaotic scenes flashed by one after another, and what finally settled in front of Qin Chu was the image of Levi struggling to lift his head after he called out the name "Qin Rui".
Qin Chu wanted to change the subject.
But perhaps too flustered, or perhaps finally unable to hold back any longer, Qin Chu asked a rather inappropriate question.
"...Why can't it be Qin Rui? Isn't this name good?"
The moment this question was posed, the enchanting atmosphere in the studio vanished instantly.
Alpha clearly hadn't expected Qin Chu to ask this, and stood there for a long while.
The studio was extremely quiet; not even the softest breathing could be heard.
Qin Chu pinched the paintbrush between his fingers.
Levi looked at Qin Chu with his blue eyes and said slowly, "These are my business, they have nothing to do with you, and you don't care."

Something unexpected.
During this time... no, ever since he met Levi in this world, this alpha's attitude has been quite mild.
Qin Chu had seen his sharp side before, and he had also seen him use his pheromones to suppress others. Although Levi was somewhat mischievous in front of him, often teasing him, he had never said such cold and harsh words.
Even though the conflict started at the restaurant, the man still had a slight smile on his face.
Unlike now, it's a classic case of indifference.
Their relationship was no longer as awkward as it had been at the beginning, which is why Qin Chu casually asked the question.
He didn't expect to receive such a response.
I can't quite describe my feelings.
Qin Chu stared at the drawing board in front of him, even thinking that what this person said was true; it was indeed someone else's private matter.
Although he was the one who named Qin Rui.
Qin Chu nodded, about to throw out a "You're right" to the other person.
Then a person with a stern face let out a chuckle, and then lowered his head and laughed to himself for a long time.
Qin Chu looked up and glanced at him.
Levi walked over to him, bent down to look at him over the easel: "Did I scare you, senior?"
"No." Qin Chu didn't want to talk to him.
"Does that sentence sound familiar, senior?" Levi asked.
...It does sound somewhat familiar.
But it's none of his business.
"Make way." Qin Chu adjusted the color and pushed the person aside.
Levi paused, then moved to the side, squatted down next to the easel, and cautiously looked up at Qin Chu: "Are you really angry?"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." He reached out and pulled the paintbrush from Qin Chu's hand. "Look, you've even cracked the handle of the brush."
"I'm not angry." Qin Chu took the paintbrush back and continued to focus on the painting in front of him.
“Really? Then I won’t explain?” Levy said.
Qin Chu: "..."
Seeing that Qin Chu seemed genuinely angry, Levi scratched his head in embarrassment.
He honestly explained, "That was said by my senior. I wanted to explain it to him at the time, but he said it had nothing to do with you and you didn't care."
Levi looked up, his blue eyes gazing quietly at Qin Chu: "I've kept those words in my heart... It's quite painful, I thought you wouldn't ask again. But now that you've asked, I just blurted it out in a moment of joy, just to tease you."
Qin Chu glanced at him with her eyes lowered, her mood unchanged.
He couldn't remember if he had said those words, because he probably said them in a fit of anger.
He was a little unhappy.
No, I'm very unhappy.
It has little to do with Levi's response, but rather with his inexplicable appearance in this world, his use of the name Qin Rui, and his insistence on not letting anyone mention it—all these things.
This is anger that has been building up since the last world.
First, she inexplicably cut herself into several pieces, stuffed one piece next to him, and was carefully raised by him from the age of ten to fifteen.
Then they called the person over and strangled them to death.
They even stole his artificial intelligence.
We agreed to fight after he finished the second questline, but instead, he just died and moved on to the next world.
I'll leave him with a world coordinate, tell him that this world has the kind of human consciousness you want, and offer him an apology, but I won't go there.
Very well, Qin Chu accepts.
Calm down, calm down. From now on, let's keep to ourselves.
He jumped in without thinking much, only to find that the person who had promised not to come was waiting for him in this world.
He even has amnesia.
If you have amnesia, so be it. Just pretend you don't know them.
But even though this person had amnesia and lived in a different world, he still used the name he had once given him.
They used it, but they treat it like a dark history and won't allow anyone to mention it, getting angry if anyone does.
The reason he initially beat someone up and sent them to the hospital was because of this name; the reason he got into a conflict with him at the restaurant was because of this name; and the reason Rose was criticized a few days ago was also because of this name.
Qin Chu thought that when this person heard the name Qin Rui during his vulnerable period, he probably wanted to curse him.
If you don't like it, don't use it.
Let bygones be bygones.
If someone has lost their memory, why would they bring that name with them when they come to a new world?
If you're so capable, why don't you create an older brother for yourself?
As Qin Chu was thinking this, he heard the person squatting in front of him continue to explain: "I have no relatives since I was a child. My brother adopted me. My brother gave me the name Qin Rui. I don't want anyone else to call me that except my brother."
Qin Chu: "???"
Did they really end up with an older brother?
If you're so good at defining your own identity, why don't you just claim to have both parents?
Qin Chu glanced at Levy in disbelief, then quickly turned back to look at the easel in front of him.
And then I saw something even more incredible: damn, it was this person when I looked down, and it was this person when I looked up.
