The sales assistant was very enthusiastic: "We have samples here. If you're interested, you can spray some on your hands to try. Our products are all additive-free, very gentle and not irritating at all."

"Hyacinth?" Cheng Yuan tilted his head. "What does it smell like?"

Chi Feifan casually picked up a box and examined it: "Floral scent, a bit strong, but it smells quite nice."

Cheng Yuan: "You knew that?"

Without much thought, Chi Feifan casually replied, "Qin Yi's pheromones smell just like this."

He held the box in his hand and compared it with the tasteless box.

Since we can't use inhibitors, surely we can just spray some barrier spray when we go out?

But... do I like the scent of hyacinths, or do I just like the scent of Qin Yi's pheromones?

Chi Feifan frowned slightly as he pondered. He was about to ask Cheng Yuan for his opinion when he looked up—

Cheng Yuan stood there dumbfounded, while the saleswoman next to him blushed.

After a long pause, Cheng Yuan finally found his voice and quietly leaned closer: "Dude, do you know what it means to casually talk about the smell of an Alpha's pheromones in public?"

Chi Feifan remained expressionless: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Yuan's Little Classroom is now open for classes!

Cheng Yuan tapped the blackboard and solemnly said, "The scent of pheromones is a very private topic, just like talking about how long an Alpha's penis is. And now you're holding this hyacinth-scented barrier spray and talking about it publicly, which is like you holding a condom that smells the same as his in other people's eyes."

"?"

The barrier spray in his hand suddenly became a hot potato. Chi Feifan's ears turned red instantly, and he slammed the hyacinth-scented box back down with a "bang," making the whole hollow iron plate vibrate.

Cheng Yuan turned to the sales assistant and explained with a smile, "Ahaha, sorry, my buddy just differentiated and doesn't really understand these things yet."

Chi Feifan's skin turned red at a visible speed, and in an instant, his face turned bright red.

He didn't know how he finally walked out of the supermarket under the watchful eyes of the sales assistant, but anyway, when he got back, he took out the book that Jiang Wei had brought him earlier.

He resolutely sat down at the table.

Let's start today with "ABO Physiological Basics".

His basic physiological knowledge was so weak that he never wanted to experience such an embarrassing situation again in his life.

But Chi Feifan has a problem: he gets sleepy as soon as he sees text. Even if the illustrations in the book are so explicit that they're shocking, and there are even QR codes next to them to watch live demonstrations, it can't save him at all.

After watching for twenty minutes, Chi Feifan got tired. He rubbed his face and leaned against the headboard, forcing himself to stay awake.

When the phone rang, Chi Feifan was lying in bed with the popular science book still covering his face.

Chi Feifan opened the book, his eyes still a little blurry from just waking up. He reached for his phone, and as his gaze gradually focused on the screen—the caller was Chi Jianye.

Chi Feifan's gaze gradually cooled.

He answered the phone in the last few seconds of its ringing, his voice muffled and slightly nasal: "What's up?"

Chi Jianye seemed surprised that Chi Feifan answered the first call. He was a beat slow to react and cleared his throat: "Come back tomorrow at noon. Your grandparents are coming to Haishi to have lunch at our house tomorrow."

Chi Feifan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up in bed: "Are you serious?"

His maternal grandparents lived in Qing City, which was far from Hai City, and Chi Feifan had not seen them for many years.

On the phone, Chi Jianye's voice was slightly distorted: "Really, they flew over specifically to see you. Come back early tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Feifan stood there for a few seconds, then rushed to the wardrobe and pulled out all the clothes inside, spreading them on the bed.

It is said that grandparents love their grandchildren more. When Chi Feifan's mother was still at home, Chi Feifan often went to visit his maternal grandparents. After his parents divorced, his maternal grandparents moved back to Qing City.

Chi Feifan felt dizzy and went into the bathroom to rinse his face with cold water to clear his head.

The icy, slightly bone-chilling water trickled down his chin. Chi Feifan braced his hands on the countertop, looked at himself in the mirror, then reached out and smoothed his hair back. He opened the hidden cabinet behind the mirror and took out various bottles and jars that had been gathering dust since he brought them with him.

He rarely uses these things, partly because he's too lazy to use them, and partly because he doesn't like the sticky feeling on his face.

However, he hadn't seen his maternal grandparents for a long time, and Chi Feifan wanted to leave them with a good impression.

Chi Feifan tried his best to tidy himself up, and got up early the next day. He stood in front of the mirror, biting a hair tie, and tied his hair several times before finally managing to tie that tuft of hair neatly and to his satisfaction.

He had earphones in his ears, listening to music while watching the traffic flow outside.

The morning light shone through the thin morning mist, warmly falling on Chi Feifan's face.

What should I say when I see my maternal grandparents soon?

Should we give her a hug before speaking, like we did when we were kids?

Should we ask them how they've been feeling lately?

The closer he got to home, the more nervous Chi Feifan became, to the point that his mind went blank when he got out of the car, and he completely forgot the speech he had prepared on the way.

The housekeeper was busy in the kitchen. Jiang Wei had put on exquisite makeup, her long hair was tied up, and she was wearing a dark green bodycon cheongsam with a beige lace shawl. She looked like she was taking today's meeting very seriously.

When Jiang Wei came downstairs and saw Chi Feifan, she looked surprised, and the jade earring in her ear swayed: "Xiao Fan, why are you back so early?"

Chi Feifan glanced at her indifferently: "Go back if you want."

It must be said that Jiang Wei is indeed very beautiful. In her forties, she is well-maintained, with fair and smooth skin without any wrinkles. In addition, she has never had children, so she looks more than ten years younger than her actual age.

The aunt brought a steaming bowl of black chicken soup to the table.

Chi Feifan frowned: "Have you forgotten that my grandmother doesn't like black chicken soup?"

The aunt looked flustered: "This is what the master instructed me to do."

"Chi Jianye?"

As if on cue, Chi Jianye came downstairs. He had dressed himself up smartly and was wearing a brand new custom-made suit.

He seemed to be in a good mood. Even when Chi Feifan called him by his full name in front of him, he didn't react much. In the past, he would have exploded.

Chi Feifan looked Chi Jianye up and down, a sense of suspicion rising in his heart.

It's just having dinner with his former in-laws, why is he dressed like this? Anyone who didn't know better would think he was going to some kind of dinner party.

Chi Feifan's gaze fell on Jiang Wei's face again, where Jiang Wei was frowning and constantly rubbing the jade bracelet on her wrist.

Chi Feifan coldly questioned, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Chi Jianye scoffed, "What do you think?"

Chi Feifan thought of the black chicken soup that his grandmother never drank, his fingers clenched, and his heart felt as if it were being entangled by thorny vines, tightening with every breath he took.

Chi Feifan: "Chi Jianye, you fucking lied to me?"

Chi Jianye didn't try to deny it; on the contrary, he was even somewhat smug, and frankly admitted, "If I hadn't lied to you, would you have come back?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the family's butler rushed into the living room: "Sir, the Pei family's car has arrived at the door."
