The Alpha’s cheeks were frighteningly hot, her thick, soft hair brushing against her palm like an injured beast seeking comfort.
Jiang Hanguang, on one hand, was still enduring the indiscriminate attack of the Alpha’s pheromones, instinctively wanting to flee. On the other hand, she forced herself with reason to sit beside her, gently wiping away the fine sweat on her forehead.
Feeling her comfort, Cheng Ying let out a satisfied sigh. Her hands struggled, and the metal buckle on the leather belt clanked crisply against the bed frame.
This also reminded Jiang Hanguang that what Cheng Ying needed now wasn’t this superficial caress, but a large amount of Omega pheromones.
Thinking about what she was about to do, Jiang Hanguang’s already warm face instantly grew hotter.
But the situation no longer allowed her to hesitate. The bloodstain at the corner of Cheng Ying’s mouth was still like a stubborn thorn pricking her heart.
She was the one who kissed Cheng Ying, the one who couldn’t go all the way, the one unwilling to leave.
And Cheng Ying had respected her wishes from beginning to end, even to the point of biting herself.
If it were the Jiang Hanguang of the past, having just experienced the terrifying dominance of an Alpha over an Omega, she might have really listened to Cheng Ying’s advice in her panic.
Leaving was the best choice.
But Jiang Hanguang had never been more certain than at that moment that Cheng Ying would not harm her.
The Alpha, already teetering on the brink from the torment of a false heat, clearly couldn’t even stand steadily, yet her first thought was still for her.
And Jiang Hanguang looked at her flushed face, which seemed far too young. Her disheveled black hair, mussed from rubbing, slightly veiled her light blue eyes as she looked down, looking both cute and pitiful.
In those blue oceans that always gazed at her with a mixture of nonchalance and tenderness, a faint shimmer of tears now danced, making it impossible for her to turn and leave.
Because in that instant, she sensed Cheng Ying’s vulnerability.
This person who always stood before her, making her involuntarily want to rely on them, who seemed as if they would never be weak, was actually five years younger than her.
And now, the other person was mired in uncontrollable torment. Having bound her own hands, she had placed everything into her hands.
Trust bred more tenderness, making Jiang Hanguang’s every movement even gentler.
Jiang Hanguang moved behind Cheng Ying and gently lay down.
The Alpha, who was originally taller than her, was now curled into a small ball. As she pressed close, she could completely embrace the other person.
Perhaps dazed from the fever, Cheng Ying seemed not to recognize her, frantically trying to turn her head to look, but she could only feebly struggle with her bound hands.
Jiang Hanguang patted her shoulder to comfort her, “Don’t be afraid, Xiao Ying, it’s me.”
The Alpha froze for a moment, recognized her voice, and stopped struggling. Jiang Hanguang tremblingly pulled open the collar of her work overalls. On the Alpha’s shoulder and neck, which appeared exceptionally fair from lack of sun exposure, a small, crimson protrusion was particularly noticeable.
That was the Alpha’s scent gland. As long as pheromones were injected into it, Cheng Ying could be brought out of her false heat.
To encourage herself, Jiang Hanguang repeated these words like a mantra, reaching out and peeling off the shielding patch.
“Ugh…” For the current Cheng Ying, the process of the shielding patch peeling off her neck was incredibly stimulating. She curled up like a startled hedgehog, but this only exposed her vital spot more completely to the person behind her.
Jiang Hanguang’s condition wasn’t much better than Cheng Ying’s. Without the cover of the shielding patch, the Alpha’s pheromones spread even more wantonly in the air. Jiang Hanguang was overwhelmed by the assaulting woody scent of the pheromones, losing consciousness for several seconds before coming to.
She couldn’t delay any longer, otherwise Jiang Hanguang couldn’t be sure if she herself would also fall into heat.
She forced herself to lean closer, her teeth hovering by the Alpha’s neck, and said gently, “Then, I’m going to bite.”
Without waiting for Cheng Ying’s reply, she bit down, firmly yet gently.
The pain of flesh being broken, the moist breath of the person behind her, and most importantly, the invasion of pheromones.
The strong scent of roses instantly enveloped the previously rampant woody fragrance, as if her soul had been replaced by another scent, then filled to the brim.
“Mmph.” Cheng Ying’s mind went blank, and she instinctively let out a muffled groan, simultaneously beginning to struggle violently. The sound of the belt buckle hitting the bed frame became a symphony of dense drumbeats; even the heavy bed was pulled and shaken by her.
Jiang Hanguang could only hold her tightly, pressing against her to prevent the Alpha from injuring herself. She couldn’t release her bite until Cheng Ying’s pheromones stabilized.
The two of them remained entangled like this, struggling to survive together in the small space created by the leather belt’s restraint.
Until the strong woody scent in the air gradually dissipated, until Cheng Ying’s movements slowed down.
Jiang Hanguang pressed her tongue against the wound, releasing it only after a while. And Cheng Ying, like a small beast whose throat had just been bitten, relaxed completely, only occasionally letting out a shiver or two.
“Xiao Ying?” Jiang Hanguang temporarily lacked the strength to get up, so she could only reach out to touch Cheng Ying’s face to check if her fever had subsided.
But she felt the Alpha’s face was wet with tears.
“Xiao Ying, how are you?” She suddenly understood that the trembling just now was Cheng Ying crying.
Jiang Hanguang was both anxious and heartbroken. She forced herself to sit up to check on Cheng Ying’s condition, but halfway through, she fell back weakly.
Just now, she had not only endured the pheromones released during the Alpha’s rampage but also had to use all her strength to protect the endlessly struggling Cheng Ying from hurting herself. Now, she was somewhat exhausted.
Fortunately, her anxious calls brought back the Alpha’s scattered senses.
The person who had only shown her back let out intermittent sobs, “It’s awful…”
Jiang Hanguang reached out to untie the leather belt binding Cheng Ying, while coaxing her, “It’s okay, where does it feel awful? Tell me.”
The leather belt was pulled exceptionally tight by Cheng Ying’s struggles. Jiang Hanguang used considerable effort to loosen it by one hole.
The Alpha’s hand slipped out from the loosened belt. As soon as it was free, it immediately gripped Jiang Hanguang’s hand.
Her palm was a size larger than Jiang Hanguang’s, and at this moment, it was much hotter.
She turned over and tightly hugged her Omega, her tear-streaked face buried in the woman’s delicate collarbone.
Jiang Hanguang’s hand was led by Cheng Ying without any resistance, guided to a certain unspeakable place.
!
Realizing what she was touching, Jiang Hanguang was like a cat with its fur standing on end. The heat on her face instantly became as scorching as that on her hand, and she immediately wanted to pull her hand back.
But the Alpha held it firmly in place, using the woman’s coolness to soothe her own discomfort.
The other person shamelessly took advantage, whimpering aggrievedly at the woman’s rejection. Her soft hair brushed against the woman’s cheek as she let out unbearable sobs.
“It’s right here, it’s awful, touch it for me…” After speaking, still seeming afraid the woman would continue to refuse, she drew out the sound and called, “Jiejie…”
Jiang Hanguang: “…”
She didn’t know if Cheng Ying, upon waking up, would be so embarrassed she’d want to lose her memory.
Miss Jiang, already so embarrassed she wanted to bang her head against a wall, softened at this “Jiejie.” The shame in her heart surrendered to her affection for the Alpha.
She could only continue to touch according to the Alpha’s wishes, while also continuing to stroke the head of the not-quite-lucid, aggrieved Alpha to comfort her.
“There, there, it’s not awful anymore, not awful anymore…”
What kind of lines were these?
She blushed furiously, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and could only pray in her heart for Cheng Ying to quickly regain consciousness.
And the person in her arms was clearly enjoying her initiative, rubbing against her touch, still calling out “Jiejie, touch me,” almost as if she were cheering her on.
Jiang Hanguang only wished she had an extra hand to cover this person’s mouth.
After release, Cheng Ying tensed up for a moment, then finally went limp in Jiang Hanguang’s arms and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Hanguang withdrew her hand as if granted a great amnesty. She subconsciously glanced at what was on her hand and immediately shut her eyes tightly as if blinded by something. Holding onto the bed frame, she unsteadily got up and rushed into the bathroom.
A moment later, the sound of running water came from the bathroom, tinged with a hint of embarrassed annoyance and an indescribable feeling.
