During the two days of the exams, apart from the first morning when Xia Cheng Lang came to Tang Liu Yuan’s house to tie a red rope of blessing for him, the two did not meet for the rest of the time so as not to interfere with each other’s exams.

After the last exam, Tang Liu Yuan stood at the entrance of the school and let out a deep sigh of relief. It had rained intermittently for two days, and the eight words of the school motto ‘Learn and know of your lack of knowledge1学然后知不足，教然后知困 (xué rán hòu zhī bù zú ，jiāo rán hòu zhī kùn): means that only after learning do you know your own lack knowledge, only after teaching do you know the confusion of your knowledge. It is implied that it is through practice that one can constantly discover problems, improve oneself and enhance oneself, especially in teaching, through teaching practice and feedback, and constantly improving on teaching methods, you can achieve improvement in both teaching and learning. Only the first half of this was used.‘ carved at the entrance of the school were washed clean.

When the exams ended, the sky cleared up, the dark clouds dispersed, and the wind gradually picked up. The wind keeps rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the hot weather becomes somewhat cool.

Tang Liu Yuan lifted his wrist and looked at the two red ropes in the sunlight, one saying ‘Good luck in the entrance exams’ and the other ‘You will win in the entrance exams’.

These two bracelets, one given to him by Xiao Qi and one put on by Xia Cheng Lang himself.

Not sure where Xiao Qi had seen red ropes for blessings from and bought one each for both his brothers and Sheng Cen, and when Xia Cheng Lang saw the red rope on Sheng Cen’s wrist, he couldn’t resist buying one for Tang Liu Yuan, so Tang Liu Yuan wore two on his wrist.

Tang Liu Yuan still remembered how serious Xia Cheng Lang looked when he put the red rope on his wrist yesterday morning, and Xia Cheng Lang said: “Although I am not superstitious, it would also be good if this red rope could bring you a little bit of luck.”

Tang Liu Yuan smiled. At the time, he only thought Xia Cheng Lang’s hurried look was a bit cute, but now he felt a delicate sweetness in his heart when he thought about it.

He looked up at the crowd of people around him, and a sudden eagerness to see Xia Cheng Lang emerged in his heart.

Unfortunately, Xia Cheng Lang was not here. He and Xia Cheng Lang were not assigned to the same school, he took his exams at their school and Xia Cheng Lang was at another school.

Unable to restrain the urge in his heart, he lifted his feet and walk quickly towards his home, where he felt that Xia Cheng Lang must be waiting for him.

He had a lot to say to Xia Cheng Lang, he wanted to say that it didn’t matter if they didn’t go to the same school, even if it was the same city or campus, he wanted to be closer to Xia Cheng Lang, he didn’t want to be separated from him……

He walked a few steps, and when he looked up, he saw Chen She in the store near the school. Chen She was standing at the door and eating popsicles. He was still wearing his school uniform and his hair was a little messy. It should have been grabbed by himself during the exam. He bit the popsicle with a crunching sound, and his face was full of happiness of being out of his misery. He threw his schoolbag aside, and it seemed that he had no plans to pick it up again.

The end of the college entrance exams is a relief and a release for many people, and there are all kinds of ways to celebrate.

Tang Liu Yuan smiled and was just about to walk over to say hello when his eyes narrowed and he stopped dead in his tracks.

A tall and imposing-looking man came out of the shop, holding the same popsicle as Chen She, took a bite and walked up to Chen She and bumped Chen She’s arm.

At first glance, Tang Liu Yuan felt something familiar, but soon remembered where he had seen this man before.

This man was the leader of the group of Alpha’s who had surrounded Xia Cheng Lang at that time, and had spoken to Tang Liu Yuan at that time, so Tang Liu Yuan still had some impression of him, only now this man was different from the him at that time, now he had a simple smile on his face and looked like an ordinary young man, not at all like that vicious, bullying gangster from that day, and he looked very close with Chen She, standing together, talking and laughing, and there did not seem to be the slightest estrangement.

Tang Liu Yuan frowned in confusion, as Xia Cheng Lang and Chen She were so close, how could Chen She get along so well with the man who had bullied Xia Cheng Lang? He hadn’t heard Xia Cheng Lang say that he had buried the hatchet with this person either.

The folds between Tang Liu Yuan’s brows deepened, as if something was about to come out, but Tang Liu Yuan did not want to believe it, and even felt a hint of panic and rejection.

Chen She was talking to the man with his back to him and did not notice him approaching.

The man didn’t see Tang Liu Yuan either, he took out something from his pocket and handed it to Chen She, “Take it to Xia Ge for me, he’s afraid of revealing himself and won’t even let me go see him.”

Tang Liu Yuan’s gaze shrank and his steps stopped instantly, his gaze fell on the thing in the man’s hand, it was an Omega camouflage, although he had never seen such a thing in reality, he had read about it many times in medical books.

Omega camouflage, a pheromone used by Alpha or Beta to disguise themselves as Omega.

Something flashed through his mind and he stumbled, holding on to the wall next to him before he could barely stand.

Chen She turned back when he heard the sound and saw that the person behind him was Tang Liu Yuan, his face immediately changed drastically, he hurriedly hid the camouflage he was holding behind him and said in a panic: “Liu Yuan, why are you here?”

He did not know that Tang Liu Yuan’s examination venue was also in their school.

Tang Liu Yuan did not look at Chen She, nor did he speak, his eyes lowered as he stared at the object in Chen She’s hand, a string in his heart was taut , desperate to know the answer.

He stepped forward and clasped Chen She’s wrist, without giving Chen She a chance to struggle, directly snatching the camouflage agent over with a single force, reached out and opened it. He paused for a moment, slowly put the camouflage agent between his nose, sniffed hard, and then……he smelled a familiar smell, the very day he saved Xia Cheng Lang, the Omega pheromone smell on Xia Cheng Lang’s body .

Chen She saw his movement and panicked, “Liu Yuan, this is something I was curious about for a moment and had my buddy buy it for fun, don’t misunderstand and don’t think too much about it……”

He did not know if Tang Liu Yuan had discovered anything, did not dare to explain more, for fear of speaking more and more mistakes, just worriedly looking at Tang Liu Yuan. Tang Liu Yuan’s face is now white as paper face, the usual cold face, at this time became colder, but there was a touch of fragility. He couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

Tang Liu Yuan took a step back and closed his eyes, the cold breeze blowing coolly on his face, those previous doubts he had tried so hard to ignore reappearing in front of his eyes and flashing through his mind one by one.

It turned out that……Xia Cheng Lang did indeed not know how to apply a facial mask and was not soft, and there was no doubt that Xia Cheng Lang had lied to him.

This was all a scam from the beginning, Xia Cheng Lang’s Omega identity was a fake, so was the Alpha who bullied him, all of it was just a trap, a trap that Xia Cheng Lang had carefully designed.

But why? Why would Xia Cheng Lang lie to him like this?

Tang Liu Yuan opened his eyes and turned away without saying a word. Chen She wanted to stop him, but was stopped by a glance from Tang Liu Yuan. Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes were very cold, and he could stab someone with just one look. His body was cold, and Chen She suddenly realised that maybe he really screwed things up.

Step by step, Tang Liu Yuan walked forward, remembering that he had struck Xia Cheng Lang when he first met him, and the pleasant time he had spent with him for so long had almost made him forget, forgetting what a bad start the two of them had had.

It turned out that Xia Cheng Lang was just trying to get back at him, so he had carefully designed a trap for him, even……even saying that he wanted to test for the same university as him and wanted to be with him was all just playing with him……

The wind was getting stronger in the evening, and for the first time, Tang Liu Yuan knew that summer could be so cold.

In the past year, when school was over, most of the time, Tang Liu Yuan went home with Xia Cheng Lang. At that time, he always felt that the road was short, but today as he walked by himself, but found that the road was so long. It was long enough for him to think clearly about all the details of Xia Cheng Lang’s deceit in the past year, and he even began to suspect that Xia Cheng Lang had never treated him sincerely.

Tang Liu Yuan laughed bitterly. Looking back now, it was clear that Xia Cheng Lang had been full of contradictions, yet he kept making excuses for him, not knowing whether he should laugh at himself for being stupid or for trusting in Xia Cheng Lang too much.

When he finally reached the door, he stopped dead in his tracks and raised his eyes to look straight at the man standing by the door.

Xia Cheng Lang was leaning against the door, and when he saw him, he immediately cracked a smile as usual, “How did you do in your exams?”

Tang Liu Yuan smiled, but his mouth was a little bitter, Xia Cheng Lang always smiled and smiled at him like this, and every time he smiled so genuinely, so brightly, that’s why he was fooled by Xia Cheng Lang, how could he think that the person who smiled so nicely at him was actually here to get revenge on him?

He lowered his head, not wanting to look at the smile on Xia Cheng Lang’s face again, otherwise he would be bewitched by Xia Cheng Lang again.

When Xia Cheng Lang saw his downcast appearance, he frowned with some surprise and looked closely before realising that something was wrong with his complexion, which looked very pale. Xia Cheng Lang hurriedly walked up to him and asked worriedly: “What’s wrong? Is it because you don’t feel well or did you not do well in your exams?”

Tang Liu Yuan did not respond, still keeping his head down, his eyes downcast and his face buried in the shadows.

Xia Cheng Lang could not see the expression on his face, but he could feel the low air pressure on his body that felt suffocating. Xia Cheng Lang thought he had failed the college entrance examination, and his heart softened in an instant.

“Liu Yuan, don’t be sad, you can tell me if there’s anything, it’s alright, no matter what happens, I’ll accompany you…” Xia Cheng Lang wanted to reach out and hold him in his arms, but just as his hand touched the corner of Tang Liu Yuan’s shirt, Tang Liu Yuan suddenly raised his head, reached out and pushed him away.

Xia Cheng Lang was stunned for a moment before he realised that Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes were red, but if he looked closely there was no moisture in his eyes, nor had he been crying, they were just hollow, dry and red, as if there was no trace of the bright light that had been shining inside.

Xia Cheng Lang was at a loss for words for a moment, the rejection in Tang Liu Yuan’s eyes was unfamiliar to him.

The two of them confronted each other in silence for a long time, and when Tang Liu Yuan wanted to walk home, Xia Cheng Lang stood in his way, “Liu Yuan, what’s wrong with you? Can you tell me?”

Tang Liu Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, his lips moved and he softly spat out two words, “Get lost.”

If Xia Cheng Lang had constructed his story from the beginning, step by step, from lies, how could he be sincere?

Xia Cheng Lang’s eyes widened, and he panicked for a moment, his heart suddenly rising with an unknown fear.

Tang Liu Yan laughed lightly, curving the corners of his mouth as he stepped forward and stared into Xia Cheng Yang’s eyes at close range, his speech slow but his eyes cold to the bone, “Young Master Xia, is it fun to lie to me?”

Xia Cheng Lang took a step back, his face ashen for a moment.
