Chapter 47

In the end, Ning An still signed up as a volunteer for the public visit day. With the addition of this training, it was even harder for Fu Ke to find him. It was even to the point that he started behaving abnormally in the training ground, causing many students to wonder if his aggression was because he had gone into rut.

“You’re not doing so well?” With the mentality of a classmate who’s helping out a friend, Xu Yu Sheng sat down next to Fu Ke during his break. “I suggest that you first give yourself an inhibitor shot.”

“What’s wrong?” Fu Ke didn’t quite understand.

“Your pheromones. If you’re not close to your rut period, then it’s best that you control it. Haven’t you always controlled it very well before?” The stronger an Alpha was, the better they were at controlling their pheromones. Fu Ke currently seemed to be a little out of control. “It’s a little too oppressive. My friends have all been affected by it.”

“Sorry, I’ve been a little agitated. I will control it well. Thank you for notifying me.”

“Ning An’s been quite busy recently. Have you still not found a chance to tell him yet?”

“No. I also think he’s hiding from me.” Fu Ke’s mood violently fluctuated. His pheromones released into the air suddenly caused people to find it hard to breathe. Fu Ke quickly controlled it and apologised: “Sorry, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Xu Yu Sheng secretly rejoiced that after what happened last semester, all the inhibitors he bought were of extremely high purity. Although his legs momentarily went weak, there were no other symptoms. Sure enough, you get what you pay for.

Xu Yu Sheng didn’t quite know how to comfort people. In the end, he simply patted Fu Ke’s shoulder to cheer him on.

The public visit day soon arrived.

“Ge, Ge! I’m here!” Ning Meng was wearing a uniform-like dress and her long hair was tied up in a high ponytail, making her look particularly sharp. When Ning An walked up to her, she also spun around on the spot. “Ge, how do I look?”

“Good. You look good in anything your wear.” Ning An pampered her a little and then turned to greet Fu Yue. “You also came?”

“Ge, you’re also a volunteer?” Ning Meng pulled the tag around Ning An’s neck to make him lower his head. She then whispered into his ear, “Ge, you’re not together with Qiu Yan?”

“Yeah, what’s wrong?” After they came back from the aquarium, Qiu Yan had another conversation with him and made things clear between them. “Want me to give you a tour around our school?”

“Okay.” Ning Meng agreed and let go of the tag, but then she made Ning An lower his head again and said in a very small voice: “Then you and ……”

“Can you speak a little louder?” Ning An didn’t hear the name that Ning Meng said. He slightly frowned. “I couldn’t hear you properly.”

“Oh, it’s nothing, just forget about it.” Ning Meng seemed a little embarrassed and pulled Ning An forward. “Let’s go. It’s my first time being inside the military school.”

Ning Meng behaved like a curious baby the entire way. Ning An patiently answered all of her questions. His head suddenly started to feel dizzy from time to time, but he didn’t show it in front of Ning Meng.

After lunch, Ning An sent Ning Meng off on a car back to her school. His dizziness was getting worse. He pressed his temples and planned to find an empty classroom upstairs to rest for a while.

Ning An tightly held onto the handrail and walked up the stairs. He felt that the sunlight was a little too dazzling. Narrowing his eyes, he saw that someone seemed to be walking down towards him. He let go of the handrail to move to the side and give way, but his feet instantly went soft and his head started spinning. He seemed to hear someone calling his name, but his eyelids were as heavy as lead. Sleepiness surged and swallowed him.

“He is severely sleep deprived, so his body activated a protective mechanism and forced him to fall asleep. He’ll be fine after he wakes up. There’s no sign of a concussion from the examinations. His bruises should be from when he fell down the stairs. There’s no major problems.”

“Okay, thank you.” Fu Ke was still looking at Ning An lying on the bed. “Can I wait here for him to wake up?”

“Yes, sit over there.” The doctor pushed up Ning An’s sleeve to inject some glucose. Fu Ke noticed that Ning An’s arm was quite thin; the blue vein gradually became prominent under the doctor’s pat. It gave off a weak and frail kind of feeling. After the needle was pulled out, a tiny bead of blood oozed out and was wiped off by the doctor. “You two seem to have a pretty good relationship. Why didn’t you tell him take a little more care of himself?”

“I will advise him from now on.” Fu Ke’s fist tightly clenched and loosened. “Thank you doctor.”

The doctor waved at him and then pushed aside the curtain to go next door. Fu Ke heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

Now, there were only the two of them in the infirmary.

The youth lying in bed didn’t seem to be sleeping well. He had a slight frown on his face. Fu Ke noticed the dark circles under his eyes. Who knew how long he hasn’t had a good rest. His breathing was also very light. Looking at his weak appearance, Fu Ke recalled the scene of him falling down the stairs.

He was standing right in front of him, and yet he still couldn’t reach his hand. It was impossible for him not to panic as he helplessly watched him tumble down. It was the first time that Fu Ke felt so afraid, afraid that the weak breath in Ning An’s chest would be cut off. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Ning An.

Fu Ke moved closer to the sickbed and leaned down to carefully look at the youth’s face. He felt like this was a delicate dream. Ning An was just like Sleeping Beauty. Fu Ke naturally knew how this fairy tale ended. His gaze shifted to Ning An’s bloodless lips that were a little chapped from a lack of moisture.

As though demons and gods were at work, Fu Ke suddenly planted a kiss and then moved away again. He stared at those firmly shut eyelids and didn’t do anything else.

“It would be nice if I were your prince.”

Ning An hadn’t slept this well for a long time. When he woke up again, the sun had already set. He sat up and saw Fu Ke sitting beside him, sleeping with his arms crossed and his head lowered. His meticulously combed hair also had a few strands that were scattered in front of his forehead. Ning An wanted to reach out and push them aside, but he pulled his hand back just before touching them.

Fu Ke woke up after his body tilted to the side. Looking towards the bed, he found that Ning An had already sat up.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.

“You’re awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” Fu Ke lightly coughed and looked at Ning An with concern.

“I feel very good.” Ning An recalled that he should have fallen down the stairs, but he was now in the infirmary. He naturally assumed that Fu Ke had sent him here. “Thank you.”

“It’s fine. The doctor said that you are suffering from lack of sleep. You should take care of yourself and rest well from now on.”

“Okay, I know.”

The two of them didn’t really know what else they should say. Fu Ke saw Ning An lower his head. This extremely cute appearance made him really want to rub his head.

“Cough.” Fu Ke coughed to divert his attention. “Then how about I send you back to your dorm? Can you get up and walk?”

“Of course.” Although Ning An said this, he still stumbled when he got off the bed. Fu Ke quickly came up and supported him.

This time, the two of them were very close together. Fu Ke could smell the scent of Ning An’s shampoo; it was some kind of sour fruit scent. Ning An’s face was stuck to Fu Ke’s chest. He seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat. This position was too ambiguous. Ning An quickly steadied himself and pulled some distance between them.

“Thank you. I can go back to the dorm myself. I won’t trouble you. Bye bye.”

He was clearly running away. When Fu Ke called after him, his entire body stiffened. He lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at Fu Ke. “Is there something else?”

Fu Ke seemed to have something stuck in his throat. When the confession reached his mouth, it changed into: “Take care of yourself and rest well. Good luck for the end of term exams.”

Ning An nodded. “Thank you, you too.”

Fu Ke once again heard the sound of the door opening and closing.
