The vicious Alpha instinct within him was raging. For a few seconds, Xing Yeze wanted to disregard Liang Huan’s will and mark him for life—so that even if Liang Huan didn’t like him, at least his body would crave him, and he wouldn’t be able to leave.
Xing Yeze’s gaze grew darker and more intense as he stared fixedly at Liang Huan. Even though he restrained himself from releasing his pheromones, the pressure around him was still overwhelming—undeniably aggressive.
Omegas have always been sensitive to the aggression of Alphas. This is engraved in their genes. Therefore, even if the brain was dimmed by alcohol, Liang Huan immediately felt it.
He couldn’t help but take several steps back, “What are you doing?!”
The pressure radiating from Xing Yeze, that look in his eyes—it all reminded him of the nightmares he’d once had!
Ever since he was diagnosed with his abnormal condition, he rarely dreamed of himself valiantly punishing evil and upholding school justice—instead, all he had were nightmares.
For instance, he might be tortured to death by his own heat or—after finally resolving it—lose himself to a blaze of fury so intense that he sent the Alpha straight to hell.
Of course, if it was Xing Yeze who comforted him, he would still be furious, but sending him straight to hell would only be a fantasy.
But even if he didn’t have to worry about being a murderer, he still couldn’t accept being invaded and conquered by Xing Yeze, trembling, with wet eyes, helpless and weak.
It had to be said—nearly all his nightmares about Xing Yeze followed this pattern, and every morning he woke up feeling utterly humiliated.
How could he, who was so cool and handsome, tremble, have wet eyes, be helpless and weak?!
Is he still qualified to be a school tyrant?!
In the subconscious of the school tyrant, being invaded and conquered by an Alpha and being helpless and weak is humiliation.
Fortunately, the present is different from the past. Now this tyrant doesn’t need to worry about being tortured to death by his heat, so naturally he does not need to force himself to be humiliated.
Liang Huan glared at Xing Yeze as if facing a formidable enemy, even assuming a defensive stance. His striking phoenix eyes were wide to the point of nearly tearing at the corners, the sound of his clenched teeth echoing in sync with the crackle of his tightly balled fists—he looked downright ferocious.
This baring-his-fangs-and-claws look really did resemble a fierce little kitten… very bizarre!
To be fair, Liang Huan right now is less like a kitten and more like a tiger—the kind that could send a whole pack of Alphas running.
But it doesn’t stop Xing Yeze from thinking he is cute.
Xing Yeze truly hadn’t expected Liang Huan to react so strongly—he hadn’t even done anything yet. Why was Liang Huan so repulsed by the mere idea of him doing something to him?
Feeling very uncomfortable, Xing Yeze took several deep breaths and said to Liang Huan as calmly and gently as possible: “I won’t do anything, come here quickly. Aren’t you dizzy? Be careful not to fall.”
Unfortunately, Liang Huan didn’t let down his guard so easily and waved his balled fists at Xing Yeze fiercely.
Xing Yeze sighed instead, thinking about how to coax Liang Huan.
Talk about the tables turning—just a few days ago, he never would’ve believed he’d be completely at the mercy of an Omega.
Not to mention coaxing an Omega, he even felt annoyed when an Omega appeared in front of him.
“Boss Huan, come here, please, okay?” Xing Yeze, who smelled so good he could rival the legendary Fragrant Concubine[mfn]according to Qing dynasty lore, there’s this concubine that smelled so good she captivated the emperor[/mfn], called Liang Huan ‘Boss Huan’ for the first time. His tone was laced with rare indulgence and helpless affection.
Suddenly, Liang Huan’s eyes, which were wide open, blinked, and his eyes were bright, “What did you call me just now?”
“…Boss Huan.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, I, a school tyrant, am so happy to be called ‘Boss’ by you! I didn’t expect to be your Boss, I just thought it would be enough to be your equal.” Liang Huan smiled so hard that his mouth was almost stretched to his ears, and he said drunkenly: “You want me to come over… Okay, call me ‘Boss Huan’ more often.”
“…Boss Huan, Boss Huan, Boss Huan…” In order to get closer to his Omega, Xing Yeze was very humble.
Very good, he probably knows how to coax his Omega in the future.
“Okay~” Liang Huan was really coaxed from his rage, and he rushed to Xing Yeze, took the initiative to go around and lie on his back, “My Xing bro, escort me home~ Go!”
Xing Yeze’s eyes twitched, feeling Liang Huan’s body temperature and touch on his back, as well as the faint smell of Omega pheromones, and couldn’t help but pat Liang Huan’s butt.
!!! The sensation was unexpectedly good—he nearly lost control and took Liang Huan right then and there.
“Boss Huan, I don’t understand.”
“What?”
Xing Yeze looked deeply aggrieved. “Why does an Omega’s waist strength even matter? What do you mean by ‘making sure I’m satisfied’? I don’t get it at all—Boss Huan, I’m begging you, show me through hands-on experience.”
Liang Huan was so drunk he couldn’t even remember how, for the sake of the school tyrant’s pride, he’d once racked his brains to come up with the advantages of being an Omega. All he could do was mumble instinctively, “…Good waist strength and stamina are the keys to conquering the world—and to making the fight satisfying, obviously!”
Xing Yeze looked even more aggrieved now—the kind of aggrieved that came from serious heat-induced frustration.
“Bro, today, I feel like you’re acting weird.” Although Liang Huan’s romance quotient is in the negatives, his IQ and EQ are indeed not low.
“…Really? I think you’re weird too.” Xing Yeze said, freeing one hand to lift Liang Huan’s head and put it on the other side of his neck.
On the one hand, you are refusing to be in contact with me, and on the other hand, you are desperately trying to get close to my gland. I can’t tell what you think of me…
Xing Yeze, ever the master of performance, nestled himself beside Liang Huan under the guise of being a good buddy. Just like that, the Five Swordsmen officially became the Six.
Meanwhile, the shippers were practically rubbing their hands in glee: We’ll just sit back and watch the top student keep up the act… and wait for him to drag Boss Huan home already and—Fuck.
After lunch that day, the Six Swordsmen patrolled the campus together and then returned to the classroom before class.
To their surprise, Si Xuanhe actually came to class.
It felt like déjà vu—the afternoon sunlight was just as dazzling as the day Si Xuanhe first transferred in. And just like before, it was their homeroom teacher, Ye Huang, who led him into the classroom.
“Everyone, let’s welcome Xuanhe back! He was seriously ill this time and still hasn’t fully recovered, so please don’t disturb him during breaks,” Ye Huang said, full of concern. He had no idea how Si Xuanhe’s gland had been injured—he just felt deeply sorry for him.
Not to mention, Si Xuanhe’s face was pale and haggard, and it was obvious that he had just recovered from a serious illness. But his smile was still sunny, and it could be compared with the afternoon sunshine.
[Oh my god! He actually has the gall to come back?!] Xiao Budian sent a message to the Six Swordsmen group indignantly.
The mood of the Six Swordsmen was not bright at all.
[That bastard really thought I wouldn’t beat him, huh?!] Liang Huan was furious. After firing off the message, he looked up and shot Si Xuanhe a glare that could kill.
If it weren’t for the fact that Xing Yeze and Si Xuanhe were brothers, he would definitely ask Xing Yeze to help him beat him up!
“Ding–” Liang Huan’s phone received a text message.
Liang Huan looked down and found that it was an unfamiliar number, but when he opened it, he found that it was from Si Xuanhe: [Boss Huan, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lost control and forced you. At the time, I thought, since I’d have to mark you during your next heat anyway, I might as well do it then and there. Please, I’m begging you to believe me. I truly want to be with you—to marry you, have children, and give you and our child a happy life.]
Turns out, Liang Huan had blocked all of Si Xuanhe’s social media accounts—but forgot that phone numbers could be blocked too. That’s how Si Xuanhe’s text managed to get through.
Liang Huan took a screenshot of the text message and sent it to the group.
Xiao Yanjing: [Oh my God, Si Xuanhe is so good at pretending. If I didn’t know that he had cheated on several Omegas, I would have believed that he was sincere to Boss Huan!]
Da Pang: [My God, marry, have children, make you and our children happy!!!]
At this time, Si Xuanhe had already sat in his seat, which was in front of Xing Yeze. He also sent a message to Xing Yeze: [Believe it or not, my feelings for Liang Huan are genuine. If they weren’t, I wouldn’t deserve to ever call her[mfn]IDK if it’s a typo but it probably refers to Liang Huan??[/mfn] name openly in this lifetime.]
Xing Yeze showed a rare look of shock. He looked at Si Xuanhe and saw the determination in his eyes.
Si Xuanhe actually swore a serious oath for this?!
Being able to call her name openly has been Si Xuanhe’s heartfelt wish since he was young.
Xing Yeze first comforted Liang Huan, [Leave it to me.]
Liang Huan opened the WeChat private chat window and smiled when he saw this message.
For the whole afternoon, none of the Six Swordsmen paid attention to Si Xuanhe. Si Xuanhe was frustrated and could only sit quietly in his seat, looking at Liang Huan’s back sadly.
After school, a student from another school stood at the gate of No. 1 High School. He was an Omega and looked pale and haggard. It seemed that he was not in good health.
Because he was wearing a school uniform from another school, he stood out. Liang Huan and Xing Yeze couldn’t help but look at each other after seeing his face clearly.
The boy was one of the Omegas who had been cheated on by Si Xuanhe.
The boy’s name was Chen Mengyu. He had attempted suicide because of being cheated on by Si Xuanhe and had even been on the news.
Liang Huan was in awe of Xing Yeze and Si Xuanhe’s family background. Chen Mengyu had even been on the news. The matter was so serious, but the Xing family managed to keep Si Xuanhe’s name out of it.
The public didn’t know that the Alpha who cheated on Chen Mengyu was Si Xuanhe.
“Xuanhe!” To the surprise of Liang Huan and Xing Yeze, Chen Mengyu not only came to see Si Xuanhe but also seemed to like Si Xuanhe very much, with eyes full of admiration and concern, “Are you alright?”
Si Xuanhe didn’t seem to want to see Chen Mengyu, “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you not to come to me again?”
“Can’t we just be ordinary friends?”
Liang Huan was stunned.
What’s going on?! Is Chen Mengyu stubborn or desperate for it?! He actually rushed to see Si Xuanhe?
Liang Huan was indignant by nature and liked to fight for justice. Seeing this, he couldn’t help it. He walked over and inserted himself between Si Xuanhe and Chen Mengyu, whispering to Chen Mengyu: “This guy is a scumbag, you’d better stay away from him.”
“No! He’s not! Xuanhe is very good!” Chen Mengyu refuted Liang Huan harshly.
“… He has cheated on many Omegas, causing them to risk their lives to go to the hospital to have their marks scrubbed off. Don’t you know that?!” Aren’t you one of those Omegas?!
Chen Mengyu was anxious to defend Si Xuanhe.
“No! Xuanhe has never marked any Omega!”
Xing Yeze narrowed his eyes, beginning to suspect what Si Xuanhe might have done back then…
“Boss Huan, could it be that kind-hearted person[mfn]remember that Liang Huan hid Xing Yeze’s identity, tbh I kind of forgot lol[/mfn] lied to you?” Lin Mingrui said to Liang Huan. “Chen Mengyu really doesn’t seem like he’s lying.”
Liang Huan looked at the so-called ‘kind-hearted person’—Xing Yeze—in stunned disbelief…
A/N: Huanhuan resists Zeze not because of Si Xuanhe, nor because he was rejected by Zeze before~ The answer will be revealed later.
T/N: Hehe, I’ve been resting a few days and ran out of back-up chapters. I’m still gonna try my best to update everyday though. I’ll just tell you guys when I really can’t update ^^
