TCFGBH Chapter 50

The room was spacious and bright in a high-end apartment within the third ring. Sunlight poured through the windows, casting a golden hue on the brown floor, as if it were covered in a layer of honey. The living room was neat, and most of the items were luxury goods.

The young man retrieved two bottles of mineral water from the fridge and placed them in front of the police officers.

As he bent down, the open cuff of his shirt revealed clear kiss marks on the inside of his wrist. Coupled with the lingering scent of pheromones all over his body, it was obvious this beautiful young man had just had a wonderful night.

The two Alphas exchanged a glance, their faces slightly flushed.

After listening to the young man’s story, they donned gloves and examined the card. The barrage of obscene words on it made them frown. The female officer asked, “Is last night’s card still here?”

“I already tore it up,” Xia Yan shook his head.

Speaking of it, he regretted it immensely. He initially thought it was just trashy nonsense, but who would’ve guessed it was from a stalker?

He was anxious inside but remained calm outwardly, asking, “Will you be able to catch them?”

“We’ll certainly do our best,” the female officer reassured him with a smile. “Do you have any suspects in mind? Among your admirers, is there anyone with an overly aggressive attitude?”

Xia Yan fell silent.

“Mr. Xia?” the police officer asked, puzzled.

“…”

“If you can’t recall, that’s fine too. You can give us a list of your admirers, and we’ll investigate from there,” the officer added, smiling in a friendly manner. “Of course, we’ll also check the surveillance footage.”

To be honest, they didn’t hold out much hope.

The perpetrator was careful enough to only use printed text, so they were unlikely to be foolish enough to let themselves be captured on camera.

Xia Yan thought about the thousands of people in his WeChat contacts, and suddenly felt dizzy.

How on earth was he supposed to narrow it down?

“My admirers… well, there are quite a few,” he hinted subtly.

“How many? Ten? Twenty?” the police officer asked.

Xia Yan replied with a blank expression, “Over a thousand.”

“…” The officers were stunned, both of them widening their eyes. The male officer asked, “How many of them have given you gifts and have close relationships with you?”

“Over a thousand.”

“…”

Good grief, not a single one left out!

Both officers fell silent. They quietly observed the young man, whose slightly oversized long-sleeved shirt hung loosely over his well-built, slender body. A red mole peeked out from above his delicate collarbone, tempting one to bite it playfully.

Perhaps it was because of his satisfaction from the night before, but the young man’s eyes and expressions radiated a sultry warmth, making him appear lazy yet seductive.

Indeed… he was quite alluring!

The officers inwardly sighed deeply, realizing the pressure of the task ahead. Under such tremendous work stress, their fleeting interest in the young man quickly dissipated.

“We understand the situation now. We’ll conduct our investigation. In the meantime, for your safety, it’s best if you don’t go out alone or visit secluded places,” the female officer advised.

After briefly hesitating, she added, “If possible, it might be a good idea to stay somewhere else.”

After all, the stalker had already found his way to Xia Yan’s home, making it clearly unsafe. Too many people knew about this place: bar staff, band members, countless admirers… anyone could easily find out his exact address.

After the police left, Xia Yan began pondering the situation.

If he moved, where should he go?

The first person that came to mind was Shen Wenqing, but he quickly pushed that thought aside. Last night they had already crossed certain boundaries. If they lived together every day…

Ahem, that wouldn’t be appropriate.

Perhaps staying at a hotel for now?

Deciding quickly, the young man packed a suitcase with some essential items and booked a suite at a nearby three-star hotel.

The hotel lobby was staffed 24/7, there were cameras at both ends of the corridor, and the room door could be securely locked, providing him with a sense of safety.

By the time everything was settled, the entire day had passed.

Dusk fell.

The young man soaked in the bathtub, the warm water enveloping his skin, washing away the fatigue of the day. White foam covered most of his body, leaving only the kiss marks on his shoulders faintly visible.

Leaning against the tub’s edge, he noticed several missed calls on his phone.

At the top of the list was Ah Rang, the bartender from the bar, whose full name was Xu Rang. He and the original Xia Yan had known each other for many years and shared a good relationship.

Probably because he hadn’t answered the call, Xu Rang sent him a WeChat message. He mentioned that he had cleaned up the bar’s backstage area and saved the unfinished gift that Xia Yan had left lying around. He told him to pick it up when convenient.

Xia Yan replied with a simple [Got it] and then casually chatted with him for a bit.

The rest of the missed calls were from Alphas who had previously sent him gifts. Xia Yan, tired after such a long day, had no energy left to play along with them. Since the original Xia Yan had always been arrogant and difficult, he simply ignored them.

Shen Wenqing would be going to school tomorrow, and he needed to deliver the collar.

Omega collars came in various styles, and just browsing through a few left him feeling overwhelmed by the choices.

Remembering what Shen Wenqing had said in the morning, Xia Yan hesitated for a while before ordering a black lace-edged collar. Ahem! If it got rejected, at least he’d have a legitimate excuse not to input his fingerprint.

October 8th.

The holiday ended, and people returned to the grind of their painful daily routines.

As one of the top universities in the country, S University saw students rising early to rush to class. In a corner of a nearby Hong Kong-style breakfast shop, hidden behind a screen, sat two strikingly handsome young men side by side.

The breakfast on the table gave off a savory aroma—steamed rice rolls lay peacefully on a plate, and the rich scent of milk tea filled the air, tempting anyone to dig in.

However, the two sitting at the table seemed to have no intention of eating.

“I picked it just for you.”

Even though it was meant to be a gift, the young man didn’t bother with fancy wrapping. He pulled the black collar out of a shopping bag and handed it to the man with a bright smile, asking, “Do you like it?”

The collar, two fingers thick, was made of shiny black leather with a delicate lace trim.

Shen Wenqing’s eyes darkened briefly, his fingers paused briefly before he quickly adapted, picking up the collar without changing his expression. “It’s the latest model from Harlda, equipped with an inhibitor patch inside. In case of emergencies, it can effectively delay an Omega’s heat until help arrives. It’s quite practical.”

“…”

Xia Yan’s mouth twitched. He was asking about the style, not the functionality.

Items for Omegas, after centuries of development, had already formed a comprehensive system. Buying something blind wouldn’t lead to any issues.

There was no need to explain it in detail like that.

“Yan Yan.”

“?”

“Help me remove the inhibitor patch.” Suddenly, the man leaned over, resting his body on the young man’s lap, exposing his vulnerable glands right in front of Xia Yan.

Perhaps because his pheromones were unstable, Shen Wenqing’s body temperature was slightly higher than normal, like a furnace cuddling up to him.

The young man hesitated for a moment before his fingers gently touched the edge of the patch and carefully peeled it off.

A series of kiss marks, varying in intensity, along with clear bite marks, were now visible to Xia Yan.

???

Xia Yan was shocked!!!

Did he really bite that hard the other day?

Recalling that night, he wasn’t sure if it was because he’d had too much to drink, but he’d felt dazed, lost in the sweet scent of peaches, instinctively applying more pressure, even wickedly grinding his teeth against Shen Wenqing’s gland as if he wanted to bite through it.

But he wasn’t even an Alpha—what was the point of biting?!

He was practically an animal!

Xia Yan groaned inwardly, overcome with shame and guilt. Originally planning to tease a bit, he now became especially obedient, quickly picking up the collar and activating the fingerprint input system.

“Which finger do you want to use?”

Shen Wenqing was still leaning on him, looking up from below. “Yan Yan, have you input your fingerprint?”

The young man shook his head.

“Then go ahead and do it first.” The man took Xia Yan’s right hand and toyed with his slender fingers. “Index finger or middle finger, which one?”

His tone was soft but left no room for refusal.

Xia Yan sighed inwardly. There was no getting out of this. He pressed his index finger against the collar, confirmed the fingerprint entry, then handed it to Shen Wenqing. “Your turn.”

Since the collar had to be worn around the neck, securely covering the glands, manufacturers tried to make them as thin as possible.

Once safety was ensured, everything else was designed to be as minimalist as possible.

Each collar could store only two fingerprints, and once those were set, changing them required the Omega’s owner to visit an official store with identification and a security key to modify it.

This provided maximum protection for Omega safety, preventing anyone from tampering with the system and causing harm.

At this moment, with one hand holding the collar, Shen Wenqing suddenly grabbed the young man’s thumb with his other hand. Before Xia Yan could react, he forced his thumb onto the collar’s fingerprint sensor.

“Beep beep—”

The collar emitted a faint sound, and the fingerprint input system shut off automatically.

Xia Yan was so stunned he couldn’t speak. His mind was blank until Shen Wenqing put the collar on himself. Only then did he snap out of it. “What are you doing?”

“Didn’t we agree? Only your fingerprint would be registered,” Shen Wenqing chuckled. His cold and restrained demeanor shattered instantly, his dark eyes reflecting the young man’s image. He whispered softly, “Yan Yan, aren’t you happy?”

Xia Yan: “…” Happy, my ass!

Sensing the right moment, Shen Wenqing dropped the topic and picked up a piece of rice roll, placing it in Xia Yan’s bowl. “You must be hungry. Eat.”

–

Outside the restaurant.

Three tall Alphas had just passed by when one of them suddenly stopped and hurried back, waving with a stunned expression. “Holy crap, Brother Wu, you guys come back here! I just saw Shen Wenqing.”

“What’s so special about Shen Wenqing?”

“But… but…” The Alpha stammered, “He’s wearing an Omega collar!”

“?”

“?”

The other two Alphas quickly walked over, peeking through a small gap. They could make out the collar on the man’s neck.

Black leather clung tightly to his fair skin, with small lace edges covering his Adam’s apple. The sight was faintly provocative.

Gulp.

The blonde Alpha swallowed nervously, his mind spinning. “Have we been enemies with an Omega this whole time? Now that I see him like this… he’s actually kind of good-looking.”

“Get a grip! Even if he’s an Omega, he’s still Shen Wenqing!” scoffed one of the others, smacking him on the head. “And he’s got someone with him. Let me see who it is.”

Wu Qin, their leader, glared at his two nosy brothers and kicked each of them in turn.

“Enough, let’s go.”

The three Alphas were all over 1.8 meters tall, with good looks and impressive physiques, but Wu Qin was undoubtedly the most striking. He was about 1.89 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a slim waist. His silver hair made him stand out, and his features were sharp and defined, with narrow eyes that gave him a fierce, intimidating look.

But his brothers knew his true nature well and weren’t the least bit scared, continuing to peer inside.

Wu Qin: “…”

“Wait… his head’s turning. We’re about to see him.” Just then, one of the men gasped. “He’s so beautiful! Is he an Omega?”

Black hair, pale skin, and stunning, striking features.

Like a passionate rose in full bloom, unforgettable at first glance.

“???” Wu Qin was taken aback, staring at the young man in disbelief. His brow furrowed more and more. “How could it be him?”

The blonde Alpha asked, “Boss, do you know him?”

Wu Qin clenched his teeth. “That’s my cousin’s wife.”

“So it’s your sister-in-law… wait!” The blonde Alpha suddenly realized, pointing at the intimate pair inside, and cursed softly.

Someone dared to put a green hat on a member of the Wu family? Were they asking for death?

TN: I feel like this world is kinda kinky? Didnt expect Xia Yan and Shen Wenqing will sharing a bed that fast (Although they didnt go all the way).  Anw, I made some changes to the bartender’s name that gave Xia Yan a mirror in Chapter 45. From Ah Jiang to Ah Rang. Thank you everyone for reading!
