Wednesday afternoon, physical education class.

 

This semester, the schedule has changed and classes 1 to 5 had PE together. Since the third-years were under a lot of pressure, the teacher urged them to do more leisure sports to relax, such as playing badminton and jumping rope.

 

However, a group of Alpha boys still rushed to the basketball court like mad dogs.

 

"Run faster! There's only one lap left!" Guo Zhixiong shouted.

 

Han Meng stood under the shade of a tree and said, "Take care."

 

Jiang Yao sat on the bench, "We won't see you off."

 

"......"

 

Guo Zhixiong eventually tearfully resigned to join the remaining students in their plight.

 

Winter wasn't over yet. The sun was hazy and not too hot. A circle of people was standing under the trees by the field, whispering and making eyes at each other.

 

Yin Che kept quietly reading his book, not bothering with them.

 

A shadow was suddenly cast on the pages of the book.

 

When he looked up, he saw an "old friend". So he inquired calmly, "What is it?"

 

Rong Wei's face was hesitant, and after glancing at Jiang Yao beside him, he mustered up the courage to ask: "Tang Shasha dropped out of school, is this your doing?"

 

When these words came out, the surrounding crows became silent at once.

 

They were all waiting to hear his answer.

 

Before Yin Che could say anything, another person came forward.

 

"Yin Che... I know you don't like Shasha, but you can't force her to quit school. You just can't..." Su Qi nervously clenched her hands, timidly but firmly questioning him. "Aren't you bullying people with your power?"

 

Someone in the crowd echoed in a low voice: "Yes, this is too much."

 

A few students from Class 1 who were nearby gathered around and retorted with reason: "How can you say that? Did you see Brother Che make her drop out of school with your own eyes?"

 

"That's right, please use some brains. If they were to be expelled simply for messing with Brother Che, then shouldn't Rong Wei be the first one to be expelled? Did you forget about last year's Sports Meet?"

 

What was said seemed to be quite reasonable, and the chatter of the onlookers diminished a bit.

 

Yin Che suddenly realized that Jiang Yao didn't say anything from beginning to end.

 

There was no smile on his face. He stared coldly at Rong Wei, hard enough to make the latter take a step back, making his momentum weaken a lot.

 

However, Su Qi was still unconvinced: "I have no evidence, but I can only think of you... Sasha is my best friend, I can't just stand by and watch her get expelled..."

 

She was short, and very small compared to Rong Wei, but did not retreat a step.

 

Yin Che is slightly distracted.

 

In this world, sometimes seeing is not necessarily believing.

 

People who seem to have reformed their hearts may not be able to change their evil nature, while those who seem to be hypocritical and false may also have an honest and righteous heart.

 

It was too hard to tell.

 

He himself was confused by what he saw with his own eyes, so how can he blame others for misunderstanding him through gossip?

 

Su Qi bit her lips: "Can you give me an explanation?"

 

Yin Che thought for a moment: "She didn't say anything to you?"

 

"No, she didn't answer her phone even when I called her, and I wasn't allowed to go to her house, so I don't know what happened at all..."

 

"Since she doesn't want you to know, you shouldn't ask. If you keep asking, you might get hurt."

 

Su Qi flinched, "Are you going to hit me?"

 

"I don't mean physically hurt, I..."

 

"I have a recording here." Jiang Yao suddenly spoke, "You want to know what she did, come find me at the grove after school."

 

Yin Che looked at him, Jiang Yao rushed in front of him and said, "I know you're kind, but I'm not as generous as you and don't want you to continue to be misunderstood and suffer this grievance."

 

Yin Che: "No, I meant to say, I'll go with you."

 

Jiang Yao froze, then smiled: "Alright."

 

Rong Wei still had some concerns: "Do you really have a recording? It's not like you're trying to trick us into suffering a beating, right? I heard that another dropout, Cheng Hao, was beaten by you so badly, he ended up at the hospital..."

 

Jiang Yao: "Where did you hear that? I just punched him a few times, not so much that he'd need to be hospitalized."

 

"......"

 

"I was the one who punched him."

 

The crowd suddenly moved out of the way and Yin Ze walked in the middle of the encirclement with his hand in his pockets: "I kicked him a few more times after you guys left and accidentally broke his bones."

 

The crowd took a step back in horror.

 

At this point, someone whispered in confusion: "This isn't right... Doesn't Yin Ze hate his brother? How come he helped his brother beat people up?"

 

"Because he deserves a beating." Yin Ze said coldly, "You have no idea what those two people did to my Ge. My Ge didn't want to explain so as not to ruin their reputation. At the end of the day, who is good and who is bad, when the case goes to court you will all know."

 

"Court?" Su Qi was shocked, "How can it be so serious? Isn't it just a conflict between classmates..."

 

"Do you think ordinary petty fights are enough to make them drop out of school?" Jiang Yao stood up, "They have done more evil than you can imagine, which is enough to constitute a criminal case. Cheng Hao is the mastermind, Tang Shasha is his accomplice, and the victim is my boyfriend. Do you understand now?"

 

The rest of the students froze: "Case, do you mean a Legal Case?"

 

"If you don't believe me, you're welcome to come to the grove at night to listen to the recording. In addition, Tang Shasha used to spread a lot of rumors online. I have reported it to the school and they will clean up her posts in the coming days. If there'll be more rumors, they will be cleaned up altogether." Jiang Yao's gaze swept across everyone's face, "I advise everyone not to talk nonsense."

 

The only gossip that students of this age were discussing daily is who quarreled with who, who broke up, and who bullied their classmates. It was the first time the word "Legal Case" appeared in their cognition, their hearts leaped to their throats. Then, when Jiang Yao swept his gaze over them a second time, they did not dare to utter one more word.

 

Su Qi and Rong Wei were also dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. Finally, they didn't ask any more questions, only said that they would listen to the recording after school.

 

The crowd of onlookers dispersed one after another, and the Class 1 students were slightly relieved: "This can be considered as giving them a taste of their own medicine."

 

"Wait until the evidence is released to see what they have to say."

 

"We still let them off too lightly. They should apologize!"

 

Yin Che frowned: "By the way, didn't we submit the original recording to the police, where did you get this recording?"

 

Jiang Yao rested his hand on Yin Ze's shoulder: "Of course, it's thanks to our good didi. He went to the police station to explain was allowed to make a copy. It wasn't suitable for me to go, after all, the recording was handed in by him."

 

Yin Ze's whole face was black: "Are you fucking tired of living? Let go."

 

Jiang Yao let go of him and turned to put his arm around Yin Che's shoulder: "I'm just complimenting you. Why are you being so fierce? Look at how cute your Ge is."

 

Yin Che: "......"

 

Yin Ze rolled up his sleeves, "I'll finish you right here-"

 

But he was studdenly stopped by the Class 1 students. Guo Zhixiong said, "What are you doing? Bullying our classmate, huh?"

 

Han Meng: "Why are you suddenly so nice to your brother? Is there some hidden purpose?"

 

Yin Ze was furious: "What fucking hidden purpose can I have? Isn't it only natural to protect my Ge?"

 

Han Meng: "Who was the one who always claimed 'I don't have a Ge like you' all the time."

 

Chen Yingying: "He also fought with his brother twice a day."

 

Zhang Ke: "And always bullied him."

 

Yin Ze: "......"

 

"Okay you guys, give him some slack, at least he helped us out." Jiang Yao went to his rescue, "Didi, good job. I allow you to talk to your brother for five minutes tonight."

 

"Do I need your permission to talk to my Ge?"

 

"Of course, ask your Ge if you don't believe me."

 

Yin Che gave him a sideways glance, "Do I need your permission to talk to my brother?"

 

"... Pretend I didn't say anything."

 

Yin Ze was so proud of himself that he dragged Yin Che to his dorm that night and talked until it was almost lights out before he said goodbye reluctantly, "Ge! Good night!"

 

The students from yje other classes who lived in the same dorm were confused the whole time.

 

Who is this? Where is this? What's going on here?

 

The lights went out late at night and the corridor was quiet.

 

Yin Che returned to his dormitory and found the door was locked, so he knocked on the door.

 

A voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

 

"Me."

 

"Who are you?"

 

Yin Che laughed: "Your boyfriend."

 

Jiang Yao then opened the door, but blocked his way and didn't let him in: "Boyfriend, you still know to come back?"

 

"I accidentally forgot the time."

 

"Oh, so you had so much to talk with your didi? How come you usually talk so little with me?"

 

"It's up to you."

 

Jiang Yao lowered his head and stared at him, his eyes darkened: "Say it again?"

 

Yin Che stared back at him fearlessly, "That is, if you can."

 

"You're too thin..." Jiang Yao grinned, "See if I can."

 

His body suddenly lightened and he was picked up.

 

Then, he was thrown down to the bed.

 

Sure enough, he was still a carnivore. Yin Che thought as he watched the man above him undress, revealing just the right amount of teenage muscle, and pressed down on him together with the Alpha pheromones.

 

"You'll soon figure out who your man is."

 

Thus, he was dazzled with a single sentence.

 

He couldn't resist reaching out his arms and climbing up his Alpha's broad back, pressing the man against himself, "I'm not so sure, you tell me."

 

In the evening of a late February day, the winter cold quietly receded in the gradually warming air.

 

Everything was revived, and everything was reborn.
