"Sorry..." Levi hurriedly reached out to pick it up.
But the candy was so small that when you reached out to squeeze it, your fingers inevitably touched Qin Chu's leg.
Even through a thin layer of fabric, I could clearly feel the muscles under my fingertips tighten.
Levi was taken aback and immediately withdrew his hand.
The bus was slowing down, and Qin Chu looked at himself covered in pink candy and felt a surge of anger.
But beneath this inexplicable anger, something else was stirring it up.
Looking up at Levi, Qin Chu, holding her breath, hastily picked up the candies and shoved them all onto the table in front of her. Then, she picked up the drawing board standing next to her, walked past Levi, and headed out.
Levi rubbed his fingertips and put the remaining candy on the table into his pocket.
He even made a point of separating the strawberry flavor from the other flavors while packing them. Only after he finished doing all that did he quickly stand up and chase after Qin Chu.
Before they could catch up with Qin Chu, a military academy student named Yu Xi approached them with a smile and teased, "Look at you, did you make someone angry again?"
Levy smiled but didn't say anything.
That's right. Judging from Qin Chu's appearance, if it weren't for the people around, they probably would have pinned him to the ground and beaten him up.
"What a mess you've made. Didn't you say yesterday you were going to sell candy to lure people in? Where did that lure go?"
Levi looked at Qin Chu's back, which seemed to have "I really want to punch someone" hanging on every strand of his hair, and thought it was fucking cute.
I originally intended to coax them, but when I actually tried to do it, I couldn't resist the urge to hide the candy they wanted.
Just like a primary school student pulling someone's pigtails, the angrier Qin Chu got, the more he liked him.
They're hopeless.
Qin Chu stood outside the car, took a deep breath, and managed to suppress the strange unease he felt.
The location for this field trip was a lakeside park with beautiful scenery. Some art students had already led their models toward the lake.
Qin Chu initially thought they were going to find the right angle to set up their easels, but upon closer inspection, he saw that they had casually placed their easels aside and were now holding hands, taking a walk around the lake.
This doesn't look like they're here to gather inspiration; it looks like they're here for a date.
Qin Chu wandered around, trying to find a place far from the lake to place his easel.
He didn't wait for Levi, enjoying the peace and quiet, also fearing that if he saw this person, he would just go up and kick him.
The park was quiet, probably because of the time of day; there weren't many people.
After walking for a while, Qin Chu began to think about today's homework, gradually forgetting what had happened on the bus.
However, there are also some uncomfortable aspects.
When Levi was with him before, it wasn't a big deal; he could only smell a faint scent of blood. But now that Levi wasn't around, a mix of pheromones rushed in.
There were both alphas and omegas, and probably because they were in love, their pheromones were surging way too much.
Before long, Qin Chu couldn't stand it anymore and strayed further and further off course.
On the way, he encountered several familiar Omegas, each accompanied by their military academy students, who greeted him from time to time.
"Hey, Milo, where's your model?"
Qin Chu looked over when he heard the sound and immediately felt a little awkward.
The one speaking was the Omega Qin Chu was most familiar with in the base—not in terms of the person, but in terms of his pheromones.
Because this person had spent seven days in heat in the art studio next door.
Now, whenever Qin Chu sees him, he hears the sound of something banging against a wall echoing in his mind...
"I ignored him." Qin Chu nodded to the Omega and the alpha beside him.
Omega saw his expression and immediately laughed: "Did you two have a fight?"
Qin Chu had already walked over when he heard this, so he paused, turned around, and clarified, "...We didn't argue."
Why would he argue with that idiot?
Just as Qin Chu was speaking, a loudspeaker suddenly blared over the park: "Milo, Milo, you've lost your model, Levi. Please come to the observation deck to retrieve her. Milo, Milo..."
Qin Chu never expected this move and stood there dumbfounded.
The Omega who had just spoken to him was already laughing, and the people passing by also looked at Qin Chu and smiled.
Qin Chu stood in the middle of the road, holding the drawing board in one hand, feeling that he had never been so humiliated in his life.
Holding his drawing board, he didn't know whether to put it down or not, so he could only walk silently toward the observation deck.
After being laughed at the whole way, when we arrived at the observation deck, we saw Levi sitting at the lost and found desk.
The lost and found counter was covered with items like computer labs, cards, and watches that had been found.
A row of children's stools was set up below the stage, clearly intended for lost children.
Now Levi is sitting obediently on a small stool, looking like a giant kindergarten baby.
Qin Chu stormed over, nearly kicking the "baby" in the face.
"Didn't I bring a personal terminal?" Qin Chu forced himself to remain calm.
Levi, sitting on a small stool, looked up with an innocent expression: "Senior, please check the news."
Qin Chu turned on his personal terminal and saw several unread messages pop up.
"..." Qin Chu felt guilty for a moment, then added, "You're an adult..."
"Mmm, don't be angry anymore, have some candy." Levi smiled and handed over a strawberry-flavored candy.
Qin Chu was even angrier and just wanted to slap the drawing board at him.
Seeing that he had amused the person too much, Levi stood up and said helplessly, "Senior, you should also check the news."
As he spoke, he pointed to the opposite side from this angle: "The view from this angle is nice, and there aren't many people around. Do you like it, senior?"
Qin Chu turned his head to look over.
Levy wasn't lying to him; from this angle, one could see the lake surface just through a gap in the path.
The sunlight shone on the lake, making it sparkle beautifully.
Seeing that the assignment was settled, Qin Chu's anger subsided, and he bent down to set up the easel.
Levi helped set up the easel, then turned and leaned in with a smile: "How are you going to thank me, senior?"
His appearance was exactly like Qin Rui's. Qin Chu glanced at him and asked, "Oh, what do you want?"
You can't possibly need another brother, can you?
Sensing something amiss in Qin Chu's tone, and fearing that further commotion would render his efforts futile, Levi immediately wisely said, "I just saw some ice cream cones for sale outside. How about you treat me to one after you finish your assignment, senior?"
Qin Chu did not refuse.
It took a lot of time to get there, and by the time Qin Chu finished his homework, it was already getting dark.
The park was gradually becoming lively, and the other exit of the lakeside park was particularly bustling with lights.
Many art students had already packed up their easels and headed over there.
Qin Chu handed over the painting and glanced in that direction.
"I just asked around, and I heard there's a small temple fair over there. Want to go?" Levi asked.
Qin Chu disliked such lively occasions and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he remembered Noah's request and nodded: "Let's go take a look."
“Okay, I need to go back to the car to take the easel back first. You wait for me over there, senior,” Levi said.
Levi put Qin Chu's easel back in the car, then practically ran all the way to the temple fair.
He went back to the car for no other reason than to put the easel away.
But if he said that, Qin Chu certainly wouldn't take it for granted that he should go back and put his things away.
Levy ran a little too fast.
He knew that Qin Chu had been angry with him these past two days, and if he arrived late, Qin Chu probably wouldn't wait for him and would just go shopping on her own.
The place where we parked the car was a bit far from the temple fair.
By the time he ran over, it was completely dark.
There were many people at the temple fair, and the surrounding lights were a bit dazzling.
Levi was prepared to search for a while, but he didn't expect to see the people waiting there as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the temple fair.
Qin Chu stood by the roadside, with a string of brightly lit colored lights above his head.
He was wearing the base's art student uniform, dazzlingly white under the lights. His cool pheromones had escaped the constraints of the concealer and were emanating in wisps.
There were quite a few Omegas dressed in art student uniforms strolling through the temple fair, but Qin Chu stood out the most.
Not only because of his superior physique, but also because he was holding an ice cream cone in each hand, but hadn't eaten it yet, just standing there dangling it.
This person has the coolest, most indifferent expression, and the most awkward posture, yet they are holding the sweetest, most romantic ice cream.
Levi slowly stopped, gently inhaling the cool pheromones Qin Chu exuded in the air, and found them incredibly sweet.
He didn't expect Qin Chuzhen to wait for him, nor did he expect that just a casual remark would lead to Qin Chuzhen buying him an ice cream cone.
Despite secretly throwing a tantrum and looking like she was about to beat him to a pulp, she still obediently bought him what he wanted and fulfilled his needs.
Tsk.
How can she be so cute?
If you don't like it, you're not human.
Seeing Levi approach, Qin Chu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed him the ice cream: "Here you go, this is what you wanted."
Qin Chu originally only planned to buy one, but the stall owner told him with difficulty that they only had couple's sets, so Qin Chu could only buy two together.
With both hands occupied, Qin Chu stood there holding the ice cream cone, feeling utterly dumbfounded.
Qin Chu intended to give both to Levi, but seeing that one of them was about to melt, she lowered her head and licked it to avoid getting the cream on her hand.
Levi also lowered his head and licked it, then looked up and stopped.
Watching Qin Chu stick out his tongue and lick the white cream off the corner of his mouth, Levi thought he was a real genius. Of all things to ask for, why did he have to choose an ice cream cone?
Slowly shifting his gaze, Levi changed the subject, "Senior, what's going on over there? There are so many people, shall we go take a look?"
