Cub’s extras
St. Leighton International School, a comprehensive kindergarten-to-high school system, is a place where the upper class desperately strive to enroll their children.
This school is 90% likely to produce individuals who possess significant resources and influence in society.
National talents, powerful businessmen, bankers, business owners, and principals of prestigious universities.
Some people are born at the starting line of the race, already winning the race the moment they first see the world. If they work a little harder, the future will be theirs.
“Third year Class A Luo Pan Zhi won another IMO[mfn]International Math Olympiad[/mfn] gold medal! Is he going to collect gold medals? AMC, PUMaC, ASDAN[mfn]America Math Competition, Princeton University Math Competition, Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network[/mfn] International Competition……how scary.”
“My dad told me before, Luo Pan Zhi is being trained as the heir. Chu Group, and Galaxy Group are all his.”
“Wow, can he handle it? Luckily, my dad doesn’t have many expectations of me. He told me to go abroad after high school and then come back to help him. What about Chu Gu Zhi? Isn’t he inheriting the family?”
“Chu Gu Zhi studies violin ah, he is pursuing a career as a musician. I heard he’s going abroad next semester and has been accepted to Juilliard.”
“……”
Rooftop open-air student restaurant—
Chu Gu Zhi walked into the restaurant and saw Luo Pan Zhi sitting at a table by the railing. Perhaps because the table was a little low, his long legs were tucked under it, looking a little aggrieved. His younger brother also looked a little depressed, his head lowered, playing on his phone.
He walked around a table and arrived behind Luo Pan Zhi, looking down to see that he was still holding his phone upside down.
He reached out and snatched the phone from his hand.
Luo Pan Zhi instinctively raised his hand to grab the attacking hand. Seeing the watch on his wrist, he glanced up and met Chu Gu Zhi’s smiling face. Reluctantly, he let go of his hand.
“What are you doing? Boring.”
There was a hint of fatigue in his voice.
Chu Gu Zhi placed his phone on the table and squeezed Luo Pan Zhi’s shoulder, trying to cheer him up: “You Pan, is that slightly seasoned voice of yours truly that of an 18-year-old?”
Luo Pan Zhi leaned back in his chair, perhaps feeling a little more relaxed by his brother’s proximity: “I also don’t want to, but I’m really fed up. Sometimes I really want to—”
Chu Gu Zhi reached out and covered his mouth with his hand: “No, you don’t.”
“……” Luo Pan Zhi gave Chu Gu Zhi a dark look, reached out and pulled his hand away, but then seemed to think of something: “Forget it.”
He took a deep breath, and the heaving of his chest gradually subsided.
Chu Gu Zhi put his hands away and sat down. He looked at the dark circles under Luo Pan Zhi’s eyelids: “Didn’t your overseas competition go well this time?”
Luo Pan Zhi looked at Chu Gu Zhi with amusement, as if to say, “Are you kidding?”: “Have I ever not done smoothly? Gold medal.”
“Oh, gold medal.” Chu Gu Zhi nodded appreciatively: “Di Di[mfn]younger brother[/mfn], you’re awesome.”
Luo Pan Zhi felt like he was being teased and nudged him with his leg: “Stop it, are you sincere?”
“Sincere ah.” Chu Gu Zhi said seriously: “It’s just that you’ve won so many gold medals that any praise might seem perfunctory to you. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. You’re only 18, already excellent enough.”
Luo Pan Zhi’s eyes flickered, as if a sore spot had been touched. He turned away, his hand tightening slightly on his lap.
Just then, he felt a hand covering his clenched fist, then unfolding it again. He turned back and saw Chu Gu Zhi opening his fist.
This might have been a habit from childhood. Every time he was about to argue or fight with Xiao Yu, he would clench his fists, and his brother would run over to open them, telling him not to be angry and to calm down.
As he looked up, he met Chu Gu Zhi’s worried gaze.
His nose suddenly felt sore.
They were twins, so some things were understood without needing to be said.
“Zuo Gu.”
“En?”
“Can you not go abroad?” He lowered his eyelids, watching Chu Gu Zhi open his fists. The emotions that had been suppressed for a while seemed to have been released like a floodgate, all at once: “Just……don’t make me feel strengthless. Can’t the three of us siblings stay together?”
The last line of his voice carried a faint plea.
What was he working so hard for? Wasn’t it to grow up faster?
He was still resentful about that childhood incident, but then something else happened a month ago that caught him off guard: his brother’s differentiation.
He was an Omega.
Then, he got bitten by an Alpha freshman.
Even though Chu Gu Zhi had agreed, he still felt so frustrated. And now he had to go abroad. Suddenly, his efforts felt meaningless.
Chu Gu Zhi looked at Luo Pan Zhi, this high-spirited young man, so outstanding. Others called him a child of destiny, and his fathers always said he was their proud child. But in his eyes, no matter how outstanding Luo Pan Zhi was in the eyes of others, he was just a younger brother who would act like a spoiled child to him.
He loved the violin and had told his parents he didn’t want to inherit the family business. Xiao Yu was still young and in her rebellious phase.
The pressure, the responsibility, the heir—all fell on Luo Pan Zhi.
Though his parents hadn’t said it explicitly, nor had they pressured him to excel, his younger brother was a proud man. Once he started, he wouldn’t back down. Once he’d taken first place, he wouldn’t dream of second place. There was no best, only better.
Luo Pan Zhi’s standards for himself are too high.
Yet he’d still secretly shed tears under the covers when he couldn’t hold back.
He knew it all.
“You Pan, I think you should relax a little. Maybe try a triathlon like Wen Xing, get some exercise.”
Luo Pan Zhi glanced up at him, his eyes tinged with disdain for the name: “I don’t want anything to do with this simple-minded, muscular guy.”
“Ai yo, the heir to a famous conglomerate is judging people by their appearance and looking down on them. Tsk tsk tsk.”
A sloppy voice suddenly came from behind him.
Luo Pan Zhi glanced over and saw a boy approaching, dressed in his school uniform like a gangster, two buttons of his white shirt undone, a thin tie casually slung over his shoulders. His tanned skin seemed to glow in the sun.
He was the same age as Xiao Yu, but his build resembled his Alpha father—both were tall and muscular. Even in his first year of high school, he already towered over his peers.
Jian Wen Xing slung his uniform jacket over his shoulder and, with a single stride, walked behind Chu Gu Zhi.
Luo Pan Zhi half-closed his eyes, sensing what Jian Wen Xing was about to do. He stood up and placed his hand behind Chu Gu Zhi’s chair, looking at Jian Wen Xing expressionlessly: “Be careful, my Ge is now an Omega. Please keep your distance. Thank you.”
Jian Wen Xing met Luo Pan Zhi’s nervous and cautious expression with a carefree smile: “Ah, I get it. You must still be mad about Zhi Zhi suddenly differentiating into an Omega last time and me finding my bro[mfn]bro like friends, not a blood related brother.[/mfn] to temporarily mark him, right?”
“Zhi Zhi, your m[mfn]it was just ‘m’ in the raws, I’m guessing it should be ‘mother’[/mfn]!” Luo Pan Zhi reached out and grabbed Jian Wen Xing’s collar, pulling him forward. He gritted his teeth and said: “You still dare to say that? That Alpha is your classmate. Don’t you look at yourself? Are those people around you any good? Simple-minded but strong-limbed, are they worthy of my Ge?”
The pheromones of Alphas clashed in the air, not strong but oppressive.
The barrier wouldn’t completely block their pheromones. For Alphas, even just 10% of their pheromone scent would still be a deterrent.
But now, the pheromone standoff was clearly evenly matched.
“Your Ge is also my cousin[mfn]have you guess who are his fathers? 😂His Alpha father should be obvious.[/mfn]. Am I that wicked?” Jian Wen Xing brushed Luo Pan Zhi’s hand away: “Don’t act like you’ve eaten explosives every time. I’ve already told you, Yan Lu is excellent. Just because I’m last doesn’t mean he’s last. Besides, it’s just a temporary mark. What would have happened if Yan Lu hadn’t been there? It’s not a permanent mark. I really don’t know what you’re so angry about.”
Luo Pan Zhi expressionlessly let go of Jian Wen Xing’s collar: “You’re also useless.”
“Okay, do you two have to act like this every time you see each other?” Chu Gu Zhi expressed his annoyance at his two younger brothers.
Yes, Jian Wen Xing is his cousin.
He’s the child of his Big Daddy’s twin brother and his high school classmate, Jian Ze.
Last month, during physical education class, he accidentally differentiated into an Omega in the gym. If it weren’t for the presence of an Alpha student from the gym class, he wouldn’t have known what to do. The doctor also said it was only a temporary mark and would disappear in a month. It wouldn’t have any impact, so he told him not to be afraid.
He wasn’t actually afraid, because it was only a temporary mark, and now the temporary mark on the gland had completely disappeared.
It was just that this incident had become another source of contention between them.
These two had been fighting since childhood.
Jian Wen Xing tugged at his wrinkled clothes, his expression unimpressed: “I can guarantee that my bro isn’t just some simple-minded athlete. He has high academic scores, and he’s a promising prospect poised to join the national swimming team, bringing glory to our country. Moreover, he’s so handsome and has such a great physique, doesn’t he? I wonder how many Omegas would—”
Before he could finish his words, Luo Pan Zhi suddenly wrapped his arms around his neck, choking him and pushing him down: “You’re still talking!!”
“Wow, hitting someone! The heir to a famous group hitting someone~~~”
Chu Gu Zhi held his forehead with his hand, with a headache: “If you don’t want to eat, I’m leaving.”
The two of them let go instantly, each pulling out a chair and finding a seat.
“That’s more like it, you’re already so old yet you’re still bickering all the time.” Chu Gu Zhi said. “I’m going abroad next semester. Don’t let me hear you two get punished for fighting at school. That would be truly embarrassing. And don’t ever say you’re my younger brothers, I won’t acknowledge you.”
Jian Wen Xing grabbed Chu Gu Zhi’s hand, his expression piercing with sorrow: “Can you please not go abroad? You’ll make me miss you so much, and I’ll be unable to sleep at night—”
With a crisp “pa”, Luo Pan Zhi unceremoniously slapped Jian Wen Xing’s hand away: “Put your hand away.”
Jian Wen Xing: ……Da Ge, is this really necessary? When Zuo Gu gets married and has children, won’t you be crying on your knees?”
Luo Pan Zhi was silent for two seconds: “I might kill someone.”
Chu Gu Zhi: “……A society ruled by law.”
Jian Wen Xing: “Yeah, don’t be impulsive.”
“So don’t bring any foreign men back from abroad for me.” Luo Pan Zhi looked at Chu Gu Zhi: “I’ll go over and check. I think Big Daddy would be furious if he knew you were looking for a foreign man.”
Chu Gu Zhi suddenly remembered Big Daddy’s despair after finding out he’d differentiated into an Omega, he’d also criticised him several times for wanting to go abroad, feeling it was unsafe.
But in the end, he was still criticised by his Daddy.
Because he felt Big Daddy underestimated Omegas.
“Believe me, I’m Chu Yi Qiao’s son.” Chu Gu Zhi smiled: “I have high standards.”
Although he still didn’t know what his future Alpha would be like, he figured he wouldn’t find the right one so easily.
After all, there are so many high-quality Alphas around.
“Where’s Luo Yu Chu?” Luo Pan Zhi ate his noodles and glanced at Jian Wen Xing: “That pig still isn’t coming to eat?”
Just as he finished speaking, he was patted on the back of his head. He turned in shock at the person who had dared to hit him, noodles still in his mouth. Seeing who it was, he almost threw the noodles in her face.
“You’re the pig.” The girl with a high ponytail glared at Luo Pan Zhi with a cold expression. The next moment, she sat down next to Chu Gu Zhi and shouted with a smile: “Ge Ge, I’m here~”
Luo Pan Zhi: “……” Daddy should have sent Luo Yu Chu to learn Sichuan Opera face-changing. She’s definitely a genius.
“Jie[mfn]Older sister[/mfn], there’s me too.” Jian Wen Xing poked Luo Yu Chu’s arm with the end of his fork.
“Get lost.” Luo Yu Chu glanced at Jian Wen Xing’s fork.
Jian Wen Xing couldn’t help but gasp at Luo Yu Chu’s fierce demeanor: “I don’t understand why Yuan Nai fell for you. You two have very different personalities, don’t you? Look at how refined and academically gifted he is, and you’re a shrewd wretch. You’re no match for him.”
“I remember you were a sports athlete, not an opera singer, right?” Luo Yu Chu sneered: “You’re truly simple-minded, but strong-limbed. Your EQ is so low that I’m speechless.”
Luo Pan Zhi gave Luo Yu Chu a thumbs-up: “Well said, your Chinese has improved.”
Chu Gu Zhi ate his lunch in silence. Forget it, he’d better go abroad.
To protect my ears.
This group of beasts.
