Qin Chu glanced at it, then turned and walked towards the art studio.
But he hadn't taken two steps when he was called out: "Senior Milo!"
The person behind him was a first-year art student, who also appeared to be an Omega. Qin Chu glanced at the nameplate on the person's body and recognized him.
This Omega, named Ross, came in second in the preliminary round.
Qin Chu immediately felt a little guilty. If it weren't for his unexpected appearance as the pot lid, the first place would definitely have belonged to someone else.
"What is it?" Qin Chu asked.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to get to know you, senior." Ross smiled shyly.
Qin Chu nodded to him.
Ross added, "Senior, you performed exceptionally well this time! Is it really a matter of talent? You didn't prepare much before the competition, you just casually drew something and won first place. Unlike us, who prepared for so long, and yet..."
This one sentence drew everyone's attention to Qin Chu, the first-place winner, their gazes tinged with subtle hostility. Many art students prepared diligently for the competition; why did this person inexplicably receive such a high score with just one painting?
Ross seemed oblivious to the impact of his words, still looking up at Qin Chu, clearly waiting for his response.
In some ways, General Qin was quite straightforward and didn't detect even the slightest hint of provocation.
He didn't understand what Ross meant, nor did he know how to respond. So he simply affirmed one of the facts and nodded, saying, "Yes, it was just some random drawing."
This statement carries an unspoken arrogance, as if to say: That's right, I'm awesome, I can easily get first place, you bunch of trash can kneel down.
All the art students in the corridor seemed to pause slightly.
Rose could barely keep his smile to himself.
So annoying!
Qin Chu was completely unaware of this and calmly returned to his studio.
Noah paused for two seconds, then mentally gave him a thumbs up: "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a real big shot!"
"Big shot my foot! Qin Chu is already worried about the upcoming semi-finals."
He couldn't just draw a pot lid on top and cover it up.
I spent the whole day working in the art studio.
Perhaps because this data body had once been possessed by a painter, it retained some of the instinct for painting, which prevented Qin Chu from being too embarrassed.
Qin Chu stayed in the studio very late today. It wasn't until Noah reminded him for the third time that Qin Chu slowly packed up his things, washed his paintbrushes, and went outside.
Before leaving the teaching building, Qin Chu glanced at the basketball court in front of him.
The overhead lights were all off, and the field was completely dark. There were hardly any people left, except for a few scattered figures in the center of the stadium.
Qin Chu deliberately stayed so late.
He didn't want to see that military academy student named Levy on the field again, but it was the only way he could get from the art studio back to his dormitory, so he could only try to stagger his visits.
Perhaps it was too late; the surroundings were quiet, and even the audience had dispersed. There wasn't a particularly chaotic atmosphere, so Qin Chu didn't wear a mask this time.
The streetlights were still on, and occasionally two figures would flash by on the roadside, swaying and crawling slowly toward the Omega dormitory. They were clearly a young couple who were reluctant to part.
Qin Chu walked slowly and stopped beside the basketball court.
He was somewhat tempted by the equipment in the stadium.
He prefers to work out in these places rather than stay in the studio.
However, remembering his identity in this world, Qin Chu only stood on the sidelines and watched for a while.
Just as Qin Chu turned to leave, a muffled thud suddenly came from below the fence where he was, a sound that was very loud in the darkness.
At the same time, a blue mineral water bottle cap flew out.
Qin Chu subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall figure standing up at some point.
The alpha who suddenly appeared was only wearing a tight black T-shirt, covered in sweat, and holding a crushed mineral water bottle in his hand.
He made a "bang" sound effect and looked at Qin Chu with a smile: "Did I scare you?"
Author's Note:
Sigh, such childish flirting skills.
Chapter 84, Fifth Story (3)
The man's smile was radiant; his canine teeth even gleamed under the light.
Qin Chu glanced at him, then quickly looked away.
Upon closer inspection, this person looks even more like Qin Rui.
"Intentional?" Qin Chu glanced down at the bottle in the man's hand.
The military academy student smiled, said nothing, and simply turned around, resting his elbow on the railing.
He was inside the fence, while Qin Chu was outside, standing much higher due to the terrain.
The alpha didn't mind, tilting his head back slightly and giving Qin Chu a mischievous look: "Yesterday...were you spying on me?"
Qin Chu's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected that the glance they exchanged last night wasn't just a hallucination.
"No," Qin Chu replied. There were many people around at the time, so it was hard to be sure if they were talking about him.
"Really? I remember you, you were wearing a mask back then."
Alpha scratched his head, seemingly troubled by Qin Chu's denial. But he quickly leaned forward, squinted at the nameplate on Qin Chu's chest, and asked with some surprise, "A sophomore?"
Qin Chu had no interest in listening. The moment the alpha got close, an undeniable smell of rust forcefully entered Qin Chu's nose and mouth, causing him to frown and take two steps back.
The smell was inescapable; one inhale and it quickly spread from the nasal cavity throughout the body.
This was the first time Qin Chu had experienced such a strong pheromone stimulation, and his expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
The person by the fence immediately realized his abruptness. He took two steps back, then looked down and smelled the sweat on his body. A hint of apology appeared on his handsome face: "Sorry, I just finished training last night, so I smell a bit strong."
This is a very ambiguous topic, and Qin Chu doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
He suppressed the aggression rising within him, wanting only to end the conversation quickly: "Is there anything else?"
When asked such a blunt question, the obviously popular alpha in front of him did not back down; instead, he nodded and said, "Yes."
"What is it?" Qin Chu asked.
The young man standing a meter away smiled, his icy blue eyes curving slightly: "Senior, can I have your contact information?"
-
Please provide your contact information...
Add a ghost.
"No."
This was the answer Qin Chu gave at the time.
This was the first time Qin Chu had been so openly approached.
Noah laughed in his mind all night.
When Qin Chu woke up the next morning, Noah's wild laughter still lingered in his mind.
Many people dared to confess their feelings to Qin Chu, but none of them did so in person.
Because no one dares to.
If there's no hope, why bother making a fool of yourself?
Qin Chu was used to this kind of life where no one dared to get close to him, so he was quite unaccustomed to being asked such a question.
What's more, it was asked by someone who looked so much like Qin Rui.
After putting on his uniform, Qin Chu habitually straightened the nameplate on his chest.
He glanced at the letter Omega on the name tag and attributed last night's experience to this mysterious gender.
He always gets up early, and this time when he left the dormitory, the entire dormitory building was still quiet.
Qin Chu grabbed his breakfast and headed out. He swiped his card to exit the gate and then bent down to insert a disposable straw into the milk carton.
He bit the straw and took his first sip, then looked up and froze for a moment.
The person on the other end was clearly also taken aback and was somewhat stunned.
After finishing his morning exercise, the alpha looked at the milk carton in Qin Chu's hand, and then at the same breakfast in his own hand.
He coughed lightly and said, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't come here on purpose to bump into you?"
The person outside the dormitory is Levi.
Fearing Qin Chu wouldn't believe him, he pointed to the milk carton behind him and then to the cafeteria next door, saying, "There's no other way; if we want to get to the cafeteria, we have to go through here."
Qin Chu understood; this was probably another of the base's little schemes.
Moreover, the surprise on the man's face when he saw him did not seem fake.
Qin Chu nodded without saying anything and walked towards the art studio.
The alpha beside him didn't know where he was going, but seeing the direction he was heading, it casually followed him.
This time, Qin Chu brought a huge drawing board from his dormitory. He was holding it in one hand and eating breakfast with the other, which looked rather inconvenient.
Levi held out his hand to him: "Want me to take it?"
Qin Chu's attitude remained indifferent: "No need."
Rejected again, the alpha wasn't annoyed; instead, he smiled and shrugged.
The two walked for a while longer, and Qin Chu grew impatient. She stopped and turned to look at him: "This was the only way we could pass before, and it is now too?"
The person showed no embarrassment at being exposed, and instead readily admitted, "No."
His attitude was too frank, as if he had "If you can walk this road, so can I" written on his face.
Qin Chu looked at him for two seconds, then said nothing more, but Yu Xi quickened his pace.
The people around him, oblivious to his presence, started chatting with him: "I sprayed some pheromone concealer today."
