Kasuga Covenant

????The school hospital is a special place and needs to be kept quiet. Lu Chen asked the other team members to go back, leaving him here alone.

????Staying away from the onlookers wearing yellow glasses, Zhuo Yiran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

???? There were not many people queuing up in the school hospital. After registering, I quickly took pictures and completed various examinations. Fortunately, there was nothing serious. There were mild soft tissue contusions on the chest and ankles, and nothing was needed. Special treatment methods mainly rely on rest.

???? The chest is okay, but the ankles will inevitably cause more troubles. Needless to say, I can’t exercise for a while. In recent days, even walking has been affected.

???? For ADHD patients like Zhuo Yiran, it was really painful.

???? He was lying on the hospital bed very melancholy, playing with the two ice packs given by the nurse sister.One is used to compress the feet and the other is used to compress the chest. The ice pack is packed in a long and narrow bandage-shaped pocket with Velcro on the sides so that it can be wrapped directly around the injured part without reaching out and pressing it all the time.

????Zhuo Yiran had never used such an advanced ice pack before, and after researching for a long time, he failed.

???? Lu Chen couldn't stand it any longer, so he came over and sat at the end of the bed, and helped him firmly fix the ice pack on his ankle with a few strokes.

???? "How did you get it done so quickly?" Zhuo Yiran was a little unconvinced immediately, "Have you used it before?"

???? Lu Chen glanced at him, with undisguised disgust on his face: "Stupid."

???? "As long as you are smart," Zhuo Yiran was not angry, and followed the advice of kindness, "Then please brother Lu help me with this..."

???? While talking, he went to lift the hem of the T-shirt, but just halfway through it, he inadvertently met Lu Chen with a strange look, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly put the shirt down again.

????Generally speaking, although male alpha and male beta are of different genders, they are often not so taboo when getting along. After all, the physiological structure is not too different, and the upper body is exactly the same, so they hardly take gender seriously .

???? In the past, Zhuo Yiran wouldn't think it was a big deal to take off his shirt in front of Lu Chen, but now for some reason, maybe it was the pretended relationship between the two of them, or maybe it was Lu Chen's relationship. Chen's expression just now, in short, Zhuo Yiran suddenly realized that it seemed inappropriate.

???? I can't tell exactly what is inappropriate, but for no reason, I don't want to do it.

???? At a loss, Lu Chen has already turned around consciously, facing the window, watching the scenery outside the window.

???? Zhuo Yiran silently took off his shirt, picked up an ice pack, and tried to make a quick decision.

???? He had just carefully observed Lu Chen's fixation technique just now, but this time he tried it again, but he couldn't handle it well.

???? The main reason was that the ice pack was applied to his chest, but the Velcro was on his back. Zhuo Yiran couldn't see it at all. He stretched his hands behind his back and fiddled with it for a while. The more he played, the more he felt that this action was a bit strange. heroine.

???? Zhuo Yiran shook off the yellow waste that inexplicably popped up in his mind, and concentrated on pondering for a while, but still failed.

???? He really had no choice but to maintain this weird posture, with his back to the window, and said in embarrassment: "Lu Chen?"

???? Lu Chen thought he was fine, and turned around when he heard the words, only to see the scene that he subconsciously wanted to avoid just now.

????Although he didn't want to do this in his heart, his eyes could not help tracing the back of the person in front of him.

????Compared with Alpha, his figure is thinner and thinner, but by no means weak, with smooth lines and just-right muscles, and looks very fair under the sunlight outside the window, which is the unique fitness and beauty of young people.

????The two hands were cut behind the back, so even the wrapped medical bandages were dyed a bit of fantasy.

???? "Help me." Seeing that the person behind him hadn't responded for a long time, Zhuo Yiran could only grit his teeth and remind him, "I can't tie it."

???? Lu Chen came back to his senses and stepped forward to check.

???? "The Velcro is broken," he said, taking a look, and then took a pin out of his pocket. "Hold on."

???? Lu Chen's fingers were as cool as ever, and they accidentally touched Zhuo Yiran's back. It was obviously a very light movement, but it made him flinch involuntarily.

????Zhuo Yiran's heart was indescribably trembling, and this feeling no longer existed.

???? "Okay." Lu Chen's voice came from behind.

???? "I'll just say it," Zhuo Yiran quickly put on his clothes, and finally turned around freely, "I'm not so stupid that I can't do it twice, right?"

????Looking at him, Lu Chen leaned against the end of the bed, raised his brows slightly, and had a faint smile on his lips, obviously laughing at him again.

???? Just as Zhuo Yiran couldn't help questioning him, the phone rang suddenly, and it was another video call from Zhuo Fei.

???? "My mother——" Zhuo Yiran shook the phone screen at Lu Chen, made another booing gesture, and then pressed the answer button.

???? "What's the matter with you?" Zhuo Fei on the opposite side looked anxious again, "You're playing again, aren't you?"

????The school's medical system is so developed that it is tied to student information. No matter what checkup is done in the school hospital, parents will be notified in real time by text message.

???? "Don't worry," Zhuo Yiran had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, "You should also read the test results, it's all right."

???? "Soft tissue contusion is not a problem?" Zhuo Fei became more anxious, "Be careful that you won't be able to get off the ground for a month."

???? "No," Zhuo Yiran patiently explained to her, "I'm very light, at most a week."

???? "I just told you to be careful a few days ago. You said that you are so worrying about a beta..." Although Zhuo Yiran repeatedly emphasized that it's okay, Zhuo Fei still frowned in distress, "Now a beta Are you in the school hospital? Do you want to let sister Xiaoning go to accompany you?"

???? "No need," Zhuo Yiran subconsciously glanced at Lu Chen, "I... my classmates are with me."

???? "Student?" Zhuo Fei never expected that just this one glance would catch something wrong, "Which classmate? It can't be that alpha, right?"

???? "No, it's not," Zhuo Yiran didn't even ask who "that alpha" refers to, and subconsciously denied, "Don't think about it."

Zhuo Fei wanted to ask something else, Zhuo Yiran hurriedly interrupted her: "It's almost time for the ice compress, if you have anything to do, go back and talk about it."

???? After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Yiran hurriedly explained to Lu Chen: "My mother is very old-fashioned in this regard. She has been unhappy when she heard about the contracted couple before. If I let her know this time...she Yizhun has to come to look for trouble again, which is annoying."

???? "She has a prejudice against Alpha, so she is always afraid that we are playing for real..." Zhuo Yiran felt that something was wrong the more he said, and looked up at him cautiously, "Anyway, don't be angry."

???? "What's the matter?" Lu Chen's tone was very light, and his eyes drooped.

????Zhuo Yiran felt even more guilty for a while. On the one hand, he felt that Lu Chen had taken care of him for so long here, but he denied his contribution to his mother in front of him. sorry; on the other hand...

???? He couldn't explain why, but when he thought of his mother's words, he felt extremely conflicted inexplicably.

???? Actually, it's not a particularly serious matter, but he seems to care more about it than Lu Chen.

???? The atmosphere was unspeakably dull for a while.

???? "I'm sorry," Lu Chen said after a while, "for making your mother worry."

???? Zhuo Yiran was a little surprised. In his impression, such an arrogant person as Lu Chen seldom said such words. He didn't expect that Lu Chen would say this when he opened his mouth.

???? "Kuang Jie doesn't like to follow the rules," Lu Chen said, "I should have thought of it."

???? "How can I blame you," Zhuo Yiran understood what he meant, "You stopped me, I insisted on fighting him."

???? As he spoke, he said with relief: "The reason why he targeted me is because we have some personal grievances, and it's none of your business."

???? "You guys met before?" Lu Chen asked.

????Zhuo Yiran could only nod his head, thought for a while, and briefly summed up: "Emotional disputes."

???? "Emotion?" Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Chen suddenly raised his eyes.

???? "It's not my feelings," Zhuo Yiran didn't know why he was so anxious, but he quickly explained, "My roommate's."

???? "Oh." Lu Chen looked away again, obviously not very interested in it.

???? "Actually, what he said today is not unreasonable. I really shouldn't confront him head-on at the time," Zhuo Yiran said, "From now on, the arena will be alphas, how can I beat others as a beta."

???? "It's not a bad thing to encounter this kind of situation early during practice, it's better than getting a more serious injury on the field," he said, leaning his head back on the pillow, "Let's learn from it. "

???? "You know how to comfort yourself." The corners of Lu Chen's lips twitched slightly.

???? "Speaking of which, Zhong Han usually looks quite simple and honest," Zhuo Yiran went on to sigh, "I didn't expect to be quite tempered at critical moments."

???? "There is a reason," Lu Chen said in a low voice, "The two of them used to have a good relationship until Kuang Jie came up with that."

???? He didn't say what happened after that, but Zhuo Yiran could probably guess it.

???? "Take so much care," Zhuo Yiran teased with a smile, "It's really not easy for the captain."

???? "I didn't worry about it," Lu Chen said, "I just worried about it..."

???? He glanced at Zhuo Yiran, suddenly stopped talking, turned around and cleared his throat.

????Zhuo Yiran didn't understand why he didn't finish his sentence, but he almost understood it. He probably meant that he was also worried about his new team member. After all, he was dragged into the team.

???? "Don't worry," Zhuo Yiran showed a sunny smile, "I will definitely live up to the captain's trust."
