Kasuga Covenant

????The young man's body self-healing ability is still very strong. A week later, Zhuo Yiran's ankle has completely returned to normal. If Lu Chen didn't stop him, he felt that he could return to the basketball court.

???? But recently not only him, but the entire basketball team's training intensity has dropped a lot, mainly because the mid-term exam is coming soon, and the academic pressure is a bit heavy.

???? The School of Economics and Management attaches great importance to the mid-term, let alone the S class. Several professional courses have to pass the exam, which is no less difficult than the final.Even in the practice-oriented inspection courses, various research topics are arranged. Although there is a certain degree of freedom and autonomy, the requirements for the process and results are still very high.

???? For example, in the course of social economics, the general direction of the mid-term project is about the social and economic research of the old city of Jiangcheng. Data review, field research, and interviews with people must not be sloppy in any link.

???? The project stipulated that there should be a team of two, and Zhuo Yiran was the first to get the moon when he was close to the water, and hugged the thigh of the god of learning, so he could only envy others.After all, everyone knows that if you are with Lu Chen, you can just lie down and be taken away.

???? But this time the topic is not low, Zhuo Yiran is still a little worried: "The interview requirements are quite specific, 'living in the old city for more than 30 years', isn't it difficult to find such residents?"

???? "I can find it," Lu Chen said, "My grandma."

???? Lu Chen is a local, and so are the elders in his family, but he didn't expect such a coincidence to live in the old city, and he lived there for such a long time, which surprised Zhuo Yiran.

???? "Then we are going to interview at grandma's house?" Zhuo Yiran asked.

???? Lu Chen nodded: "What's wrong?"

???? "Nothing," Zhuo Yiran chuckled, "I'm looking forward to it."

????As a famous figure in the school, there are many rumors about Lu Chen outside, even the rather perverted things like his frigidity are known to many people, but no one has ever heard of his family. Condition.

???? Many fanboys and girls guessed that he was a low-key kid from a wealthy family, or some kind of scholarly family. After all, an outstanding alpha like him is full of extravagance in every gesture, and he majored in economics and management. Those who seem to be trained as leaders must be the product of elite education.

???? Naturally, Zhuo Yiran would not believe in such groundless Mary Su-style conjectures, but after spending so long with Lu Chen, he had never heard him mention his family affairs, so he was inevitably a little curious .

???? With this vague expectation, until Saturday, the two of them had time to go to the old city to conduct research.

???? The morning was mainly a rough on-site visit, took some photos and video materials, and had a general understanding of the situation in the old city. It was not until the middle of the afternoon that I finished visiting the planned area.

The two of them had just got off the subway station and were about to embark on the journey to grandma's house. Zhuo Yiran was a little excited when Lu Chen received a call from grandma, saying that there was no soy sauce at home, so he asked him to bring some back.

???? There happened to be a supermarket across the street, so the two went up through the underground passage again.On the way, Zhuo Yiran suddenly remembered something: "Did you tell grandma about the interview?"

???? "Yeah." Naturally, this kind of thing needs to be discussed in advance, and Lu Chen doesn't understand what's the point of asking.

???? "Then you said I want to go together?" Zhuo Yiran continued to ask.

???? "What else?" Lu Chen looked sideways at him in confusion.

???? "Then..." Zhuo Yiran glanced at him, "How did you introduce me?"

???? The original point is this.

???? "Classmate." Lu Chen replied.

???? "That's good." Although he knew that it was impossible for Lu Chen to tell his grandma about their messy relationship, Zhuo Yiran was instantly relieved.

???? I think Lu Chen's grandma must be a well-educated person, and Zhuo Yiran is naturally familiar, so it won't be too difficult to get along with her as a classmate.Fortunately, grandma didn't misunderstand their relationship, otherwise he really didn't know how to behave.

???? The two went to the supermarket to buy soy sauce, and brought some snacks and fruits along the way. Zhuo Yiran had a whim, picked up his phone again, and started to shoot vlogs.

???? "What's so good about this?" Lu Chen could never understand his behavior.

???? "Haven't you heard that saying?" Zhuo Yiran held up his mobile phone to take pictures, and replied absent-mindedly, "You have to go to the supermarket with your significant other to always have a sense of belonging."

???? His attention was all on the screen, and he didn't feel anything when he said it. After a few seconds, he realized that this sentence sounded a little...

????Zhuo Yiran turned his head and glanced at Lu Chen with a guilty conscience. Seeing that the other party's expression was indeed a little subtle, he quickly cleared his throat, and added without hesitation: "So this kind of vlog will definitely be very popular when it is posted on the Internet. .”

???? The explanation was a little pale, but fortunately Lu Chen didn't say anything more.

???? After shopping and going to checkout, there is a row of imported goods on the shelves at the cashier counter. Zhuo Yiran saw a small box with exquisite packaging, which was written in Japanese. The bottom picture was a picture of mint leaves and ice cubes. Close-up picture.

???? He vaguely remembered that he had seen an advertisement with similar packaging before. It was a kind of mint candy with strong stamina, which was said to have an excellent refreshing effect.

???? The mid-term exam is coming soon, and the study pressure is already high, and he is lethargic. If he gets sleepy again in class, he should fail the exam.Considering this problem, Zhuo Yiran took a box and planned to try the effect.

???? It was their turn to check out after taking them. The cashier saw the mints in his hand and looked up at them, but Zhuo Yiran was still busy filming vlogs, and Lu Chen was collecting things. Who Didn't notice either.

???? Coming out of the supermarket, Zhuo Yiran finally followed Lu Chen to the legendary grandma's house unilaterally with excitement.

???? The guesses of the fans are really not reliable. Grandma's house does not live in any five-story villa, but an ordinary apartment complex.All the way into the residential building, when knocking on the door, Zhuo Yiran felt a rare nervousness.

???? But the tension disappeared the moment the door was opened.

???? In Zhuo Yiran's original idea, Lu Chen's grandmother should be a kind old man with gray hair. According to her age, she would be in her seventies or eighties.But when he actually met, he found that grandma was much younger than he imagined, looking around sixty at most.

???? Grandma is also a beta. When she saw them, she showed a warm smile: "Is that right? I heard that you are coming. Grandma has been preparing dinner since noon."

Zhuo Yiran, who has always been enthusiastic, felt a little embarrassed when he called her so intimately when they first met: "Grandma has worked hard."

???? After entering the door, grandma poured tea for the two of them, and then ordered: "There are still a few dishes, just sit down first."

???? "Thank you grandma," Zhuo Yiran quickly agreed, "It's still early, don't worry."

???? Although the house is not big, it is clean and tidy, and the atmosphere is very warm.The two sat in the living room, took the tablet and sorted out the questions for the last time, and made some minor adjustments based on the field trip in the morning.

???? Not long after, grandma answered the phone in the kitchen, came out and shouted, "Xiao Chen, come and help grandma take a look."

???? Hearing this, Lu Chen walked towards the kitchen, and Zhuo Yiran quickly followed behind him.Grandma quickly untied her apron, and said, "The hospital called, saying that a pregnant woman is not doing well, and asked me to go and have a look."

???? She walked to the door, put on her coat, and said to Zhuo Yiran apologetically, "I'm really sorry, grandma will be right back."

???? "It's okay, grandma," Zhuo Yiran said quickly, "slow down, don't worry."

???? Lu Chen took a look into the kitchen, came out and said, "Don't worry, I'll do the rest."

???? When grandma left the house, there were only the two of them left at home. Zhuo Yiran also walked into the kitchen, and Lu Chen explained to him: "Grandma is a doctor, an obstetrician."

???? You can guess what she said just now, but I didn't expect that grandma is still fighting on the front line at this age, and she can even be there on call.

???? Her steps just now were a little anxious. Thinking that the other side of the phone might be a mother with dystocia, Zhuo Yiran was at a loss for words for a moment. After a long while, she said, "It's really great."

???? Probably because his dumbfounded look looked a little silly, the corners of Lu Chen's lips curled up calmly.

???? After a few seconds of silence, Lu Chen turned the fish in the pot with a spatula. Zhuo Yiran noticed his skillful movements, and was dumbfounded again: "You know how to cook?"

???? Seeing his surprised face, Lu Chen asked, "What's wrong?"

???? "Aren't you an alpha?" Zhuo Yiran sighed, "It's so rare."

????Although gender equality is now being promoted, in fact, most alphas still adhere to the concept of "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen". What's more, they are already very busy at work, and usually they don't cook when they return home time and energy.

???? Even beta is about the same. Taking Zhuo Yiran as an example, his ability to make drinks is only due to his childhood experience, but he doesn't know anything about cooking.

Both sides of the fish were fried. Lu Chen poured half a pot of hot water from the kettle on the side. The fire was turned on high. During the process, some splashed out, almost splashing onto his clean white T-shirt. .

???? Seeing this, Zhuo Yiran quickly brought over grandma's apron. The apron was pink. Lu Chen didn't want to wear it at first. Yiran simply didn't ask for his opinion, and directly helped him tie the tie around his neck.

???? Lu Chen's movements paused, and he quickly turned around to add other seasonings. Zhuo Yiran went to help him tie the belt underneath. When his hands slipped to his waist, he realized something was wrong.

???? Thinking that this was not the first time he had intimate contact with Lu Chen's waist, Zhuo Yiran bit the bullet and tied the belt, pretending that he didn't feel anything.

???? The fish here will have to simmer for a while, and Lu Chen turns his eyes to look at the lotus root pork ribs soup on the other side of the stove.

???? Zhuo Yiran couldn't help, he could only admire his busy figure from the sidelines.Lu Chen, who seems to be a person who is supposed to keep his fingers out of the sun, but when it comes to the kitchen, not only does it not affect his demeanor, but it adds some worldly smoke and fire, making him a little different Unusual tenderness.

????Zhuo Yiran couldn't help thinking, this alpha is too versatile, looks, grades, basketball, everything is at the level of one in a million. Except for a little fart, there are almost no shortcomings.

???? If an omega marries him in the future, he will probably be envied by others.

???? Oh, forgot, it seems he can't marry an omega.

???? In fact, it’s not completely impossible. After all, those fanboys and girls in the school knew that he was frigid, but said that if they were with him, it would be fine to take inhibitors for a lifetime; there was even an alpha who was willing to do glandular surgery for him. Body resection surgery, give up the distinguished status; not to mention beta, the population base is already large, and those who line up to chase him can circle the river.

???? Thinking of this, for some reason, Zhuo Yiran suddenly felt a little blocked.

???? Are you jealous that Lu Chen is more attractive than him?

???? Not really, he has always been convinced by Lu Chen's excellence.

???? Before he could figure out where this emotion came from, Lu Chen turned around and interrupted his thoughts: "What are you thinking about?"

???? "I think..." Zhuo Yiran cleared his throat and said, "I think the part where you cook is especially suitable for a vlog."

???? "...Are you addicted to filming?" Lu Chen was helpless.

???? "Caught a heartthrob," Zhuo Yiran brought the phone over, "It would be a pity not to show off."

???? Hearing this, Lu Chen paused, then quickly turned around, leaving a back view for the camera, not knowing what he was thinking.

???? Looking at the tall and tall figure of the person in the camera, with the pink apron tied around his waist, Zhuo Yiran couldn't help but laugh for a moment.

???? I'm sorry, but tonight let him be the envied and hated object of thousands of people temporarily.

???? After filming for a while, Zhuo Yiran edited the scene of going to the supermarket just now, and happily posted it on the platform.Before he had time to read the comments, the doorbell rang at home, and he hurried to open the door, and it was grandma who hurried back.

????Zhuo Yiran welcomed her into the living room and poured a glass of water: "How is it, grandma?"

???? "Fortunately, it's nothing serious, mother and child are safe," grandma sat down, showing a comfortable smile, and after a few seconds of rest, she remembered something, got up and went to the kitchen, "Really, I almost forgot , and cook for Ranran..."

???? Just as Zhuo Yiran was about to stop her, he saw Lu Chen holding a plate of dishes and pushed open the kitchen door: "It's time to serve dinner."

???? Grandma smiled again when she heard the words, Zhuo Yiran helped to set the tableware, served the meal, and the three of them sat around the small table.

???? "How is it?" Grandma first took a piece of fish belly for Zhuo Yiran, "Our little Chen is quite virtuous, right?"

????Zhuo Yiran was drinking water, when he heard this adjective, he choked up suddenly, turned around, coughed a few times, and then nodded with difficulty.

???? "Rest assured, although Xiao Chen has a slow personality, he is a good boy," grandma continued, "He doesn't have any of the stinky problems of alpha, and being with him is no different from beta."

???? Zhuo Yiran couldn't hold it back, and coughed violently again, looking at Lu Chen while coughing——

???? What about the good classmates?

???? Although Lu Chen was calmer than him, he also seemed a little confused. It seemed that this matter was beyond his expectation.

???? "Ouch, I'm sorry, grandma mentioned this as soon as she came up, which scared you." Grandma quickly reached out and patted Zhuo Yiran on the back.

????Zhuo Yiran took another sip of water, and then said: "Grandma, you misunderstood..."

???? "Hey, although grandma is old, she is not that old-fashioned." Grandma looked at him, then at Lu Chen, "you don't have to be embarrassed in front of me."

???? As she spoke, she smiled mysteriously: "I saw it all on the 'TA said'."

????...Zhuo Yiran was startled.

???? Lu Chen's grandma is more trendy than his mother?

???? He hesitated for a while, but still felt that grandma should not be misunderstood, and said, "Grandma, we are actually..."

???? "Just try first." Lu Chen interrupted him suddenly.

????Zhuo Yiran looked up at Lu Chen again——

???? What does this person mean?

???? "Let me just say, grandma, how old am I?" Grandma smiled from ear to ear, "Just like you two, even without that software, you can't hide it from me."

????Zhuo Yiran smiled embarrassingly, lowered his head and silently ate the rice.

???? "I'm sorry, but grandma is so happy today. The main reason is that she was a little excited to see Xiaochen in love for the first time." Grandma seemed even shyer than Lu Chen himself. I should also know, I have been worried that he can't find a partner because of this."

???? "Grandma, you think too much," Zhuo Yiran comforted her, "There are so many people in our school who like him that we can't even count them."

???? "Really? Then why haven't I seen him fall in love before?" Grandma laughed again, "It means that only Ranran is in line with his wishes."

????Zhuo Yiran was extremely ashamed, and he couldn't refute, so he could only eat with his head down silently. Due to the heavy psychological pressure, he didn't even pay attention to the taste of Lu Chen's fried dishes.

???? "alpha and beta together, it's actually quite good, my grandpa and Xiaochen are like that," grandma continued, "The only pity is that the birth rate of beta was too low at that time, and we will never be together in this life." ..."

???? She was halfway through, when she suddenly realized something, glanced at Lu Chen, but didn't finish her sentence.

???? Zhuo Yiran's heart moved slightly, but he still kept his head down and ate fish silently, pretending that he didn't understand anything.

???? "But now that technology is advanced, as long as you want, the fertility rate of beta can be the same as that of omega."

???? This topic simply involves a field that Zhuo Yiran can't imagine at all. In this situation, even someone with a rough nerve like him feels a trace of indescribable shame.

???? "Grandma," before he could speak, Lu Chen interrupted her loudly, "Stop talking about that."

???? "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Grandma lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, like a child who has done something wrong. "Grandma tends to talk too much when she is excited, but don't be scared."

???? "It's okay grandma," Zhuo Yiran quickly forgot the embarrassment just now, showing a sunny smile on his face, "I am also like this. When I am in a good mood, I like to chat."

???? "However, you have such a good personality. When grandma sees you, she feels that she is very attracted to you." Grandma looked at him, her eyes filled with unconcealed relief, "With you accompanying Xiaochen in the future, he won't be alone again. Alone, grandma can rest assured."

???? Seeing grandma's joy from the heart, Zhuo Yiran had mixed feelings in his heart, and felt that the misunderstanding was going to deepen.

???? After eating and cleaning up briefly, they began to conduct an exclusive interview with grandma.Grandma had read the interview questions Lu Chen sent him in advance, and made some preparations. The whole process went smoothly and ended in less than an hour.

???? It was getting late, and the two sat for a while, preparing to go back to school.Before leaving, grandma asked them to wait for a while, and went to the kitchen to pack the special products they made for them.

???? Zhuo Yiran remembered the fruits and snacks he brought to grandma, so he picked out the box of mints he bought from the shopping bag in the supermarket.He had just finished eating and felt a little sleepy, so he opened the box casually, took out a small package from inside, and handed it to Lu Chen without thinking, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Opponent -

????The small package is in the shape of a cube, and the fingertips feel a bit strange. The thing inside seems to be a ring, which is soft and flat when pinched, not quite like candy.

???? Seeing this package at first glance, Lu Chen's eyes flashed with astonishment for a moment.

????Zhuo Yiran suddenly had a bad premonition, retracted his hand and looked carefully, and then suddenly realized what exactly he bought.

????... Japanese packaging kills people.

???? I really don't blame him for being unresponsive. After all, he is a single dog who has been single for ten thousand years. Except for a few unintentional glimpses in the advertisements, he has never seen the entity of this thing.

???? Before he had time to react, grandma came out of the kitchen and saw the thing in his hand at a glance.

????Zhuo Yiran subconsciously squeezed the thing into the palm of his hand, but it was already too late, grandma laughed out loud: "I just told you about the fertility rate, you are still embarrassed..."

????Zhuo Yiran was stunned, and subconsciously argued: "No, I..."

???? "Okay, okay, didn't grandma say it, I'm not old-fashioned, after all, you are all adults," grandma waved her hand on the ground, "It is necessary to take protective measures."

???? Grandma is indeed an obstetrician. I think she is used to this kind of thing, so she doesn't feel awkward at all.However, Zhuo Yiran was a little virgin, but he really didn't have such an open mind, so he couldn't help but look at Lu Chen helplessly.

???? Before Lu Chen could explain, grandma said to him seriously: "You have to treat Ranran well, you can't let him down, do you understand?"

???? "... Mmm." After a while, Lu Chen nodded slightly stiffly.

???? Until he came out from grandma's house and all the way out of the unit door, Zhuo Yiran still had a look of astonishment on his face: "...I always thought it was mints."

???? Lu Chen didn't say a word, but just cleared his throat silently.

???? "I really don't understand," Zhuo Yiran was puzzled, "That thing, it...why are there mint leaves and ice cubes on the package?"

???? Lu Chen whispered, "Taste."

???? "Ah?" Zhuo Yiran looked at Lu Chen in confusion.

???? Lu Chen glanced at him and stopped talking.

???? "Taste? This is not for food, what flavor do you want..." Zhuo Yiran still didn't want to understand, and muttered a few words, but suddenly remembered another more important thing, "Damn it."

????He stopped suddenly, turned on his phone with his head down, and went to look at the vlog he posted on "TA Shuo" an hour ago.

???? Sure enough, the comment area has been completely fried, and the discussion is more intense than ever.

???? "1 minute 23 seconds, what did I see!!!"

???? "This box? It won't be what I thought..."

???? "I suspect you guys are messing with color, and found evidence."

???? "Pay attention to the expression of the cashier lady, it's bright."

???? "My God, has it progressed to this point so quickly?!"

???? "Ask in a low voice, beta doesn't have pheromone, will it hurt?"

???? "Don't worry, Brother Lu must be very gentle."

???? "It's still mint flavored, tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Lu Nanshen's taste to be quite strong."

???? "Peppermint-flavored dog food slapped indiscriminately on the face."

????
