In the early morning, Ruan Mian was awakened by the heat. He woke up and found that his body was limp and hot, and his hands and feet were weaker than before he went to sleep.
He tilted his head slightly and found that Lu Yang’s body was burning like a stove, hotter than his own. The reason he was so hot was because of the temperature of Lu Yang’s body.
Ruan Mian woke up all of a sudden. He didn’t have time to think about how he slept next to Lu Yang after waking up when he was far away from Lu Yang before going to bed. He quickly turned into a human form and reached out to touch Lu Yang’s forehead.
Lu Yang’s forehead was very hot, much higher than the normal body temperature. Ruan Mian touched other parts of his body again. His whole body was abnormally hot, and his breathing was very heavy.
Lu Yang was still unaware of his physical condition. He slept soundly and looked harmless.
Ruan Mian quickly reached out and shook his wolf head, saying anxiously: “Baby Lu, wake up quickly, you are too hot. Get up quickly, we have to go to the hospital now.”
Lu Yang opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment when he saw Ruan Mian close at hand. He suddenly realized something and quickly clamped his wolf legs together, hiding himself in the quilt, staring at Ruan Mian, shaking his wolf head vigorously, silently refusing.
Ruan Mian hurriedly sat up from the bed and said without thinking: “Baby Lu, no, we must go to the hospital, your body temperature is too high. I will tell grandpa and auntie and let them contact the doctor.”
Lu Yang got out of the quilt, hurriedly bit the corner of his clothes, and dragged him hard to prevent him from leaving.
Ruan Mian was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and whispered: “Baby Lu, be obedient.”
Lu Yang remained unmoved, stubbornly gripping the corner of his clothes and not letting go. His eyes, sharp and dark as a wolf’s, were wide with anxiety.
Ruan Mian looked at him in surprise. Although Lu Yang was willful, he was also very delicate and always took good care of himself. He never joked about his body. Whenever he felt uncomfortable, he would immediately go to the doctor for a checkup. He never avoided seeing a doctor.
Ruan Mian felt that Lu Yang’s behavior was a bit strange, and couldn’t help but look at Lu Yang twice. Lu Yang didn’t dare to look at him, his eyes dodged, and his legs moved back.
Ruan Mian looked down for a while, and suddenly something flashed through his mind. He unconsciously looked at the position between Lu Yang’s legs.
Lu Yang noticed his gaze, immediately clamped his legs together, and called out a few times in a warning voice. The sound was more panicked than ever before.
Ruan Mian awkwardly withdrew his gaze, his cheeks slightly red, and touched his nose uncomfortably.
He sat down on the bed, looked at the embarrassed Lu Yang, and said calmly, comforting him: “This is normal. In hygiene class before, the teacher talked about physiological knowledge. In the morning, Alphas occasionally have intense pheromone reactions. You are an Alpha now. It’s okay to be affected by pheromones when sleeping with an Omega like me.”
Ruan Mian chattered on and on, and seeing that Lu Yang’s expression had improved a bit, he added after some thought, “However, from now on, we can’t sleep together like we used to. We need to sleep separately.”
Lu Yang whimpered twice, with some grievance in his voice, but he didn’t object this time. He was still scared when he thought of the situation just now. Now he just wanted to find a place to hide in embarrassment.
The two sat in silence for a while. The heat on Lu Yang’s body had not dissipated. Ruan Mian thought about it and stood up quickly. He suddenly realized that if he continued to stay here, his pheromones would affect Lu Yang, so the heat on Lu Yang’s body could not be reduced.
He hastily came up with an excuse, rushed out of the room, and shut the door behind him. Afterward, he went to the balcony to get some fresh air and calm down. Once he was composed, he took out his phone and looked up information about Alpha habits.
Omegas are extremely rare in interstellar space, so they are particularly protected.
He and Lu Yang have been studying in Omega classes since childhood. The classmates around them are all Omegas, and even the teachers are Omegas.
The physiological knowledge taught in class mostly focused on Omegas. Although Alphas were occasionally mentioned, they were only in passing and never explored in depth. As a result, both he and Lu Yang had very limited understanding of Alphas.
After Lu Yang became an Alpha, he finally had the time to properly learn about Alphas.
Ruan Mian stayed on the balcony for a long time, only coming back inside when it was time to have breakfast.
Lu Yang has calmed down, the heat on his body has dissipated, but the heat on his face is still there.
During the meal, Grandpa Lu and Ning Mixiang found that the atmosphere between Ruan Mian and Lu Yang was a little awkward. They looked at each other in surprise. For so many years, these two little guys have been as good as twins. It was the first time they had seen such a strange aura between them.
Grandpa Lu took a sip of milk, looked at Ruan Mian, and asked gently and kindly: “Xiao Mian, did you sleep well last night?”
“Grandpa, I slept well last night.” Ruan Mian answered obediently.
He placed a cherry tomato on the plate in front of Lu Yang, then withdrew and continued eating his bread.
Lu Yang didn’t even raise his head, but lowered his head and ate the cherry tomato with his mouth.
Ning Mixiang sat opposite them and looked at the two of them. She was very sure that there was something going on between them, because if it were usual, Ruan Mian would definitely feed the cherry tomatoes directly into Lu Yang’s mouth instead of just putting the cherry tomatoes on Lu Yang’s plate like now.
… Something is wrong.
Ning Mixiang propped her chin with one hand, looked at them inquiringly for a while, and suddenly thought of the doctor’s advice.
Her face suddenly changed, and she looked up at Ruan Mian and asked in a serious voice: “Xiao Mian, did Baby Lu bully you last night?!”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room was shocked.
If Ruan Mian were in the shape of a rabbit now, all the hair on his body would stand up. He looked at Ning Mixiang in surprise and waved his hands quickly, “Auntie, no, please don’t misunderstand.”
Ning Mixiang saw him so flustered and felt that there must be something wrong. She turned her head and glared at Lu Yang, and said to Ruan Mian softly, “Xiao Mian, don’t be afraid. Tell your auntie the truth. Did Baby Lu bully you last night because he was out of control?”
Grandpa Lu heard his daughter-in-law’s words and looked at Ruan Mian with a serious face, “If what your auntie said is true, you must say it.”
“Really, nothing happened.” Ruan Mian waved his hands anxiously, fearing that everyone would misunderstand.
Ning Mixiang still didn’t quite believe it, and whispered to Ruan Mian: “Xiao Mian, show your glands on the back of your neck to Auntie. If this brat has done something bad, you must not hide it from me.”
“Don’t bully him, and don’t make blind guesses.” Lu Yang changed back to human form and looked at them coldly.
Everyone was stunned when they saw him suddenly return to human form, and said in surprise: “You can change back?”
Lu Yang picked up a pair of chopsticks and placed a piece of bread in front of Ruan Mian. In a deep, subdued voice, he said, “Yeah, I suddenly changed back when I got flustered earlier.”
Earlier, when he saw his grandfather and mother persistently questioning Ruan Mian, and his mother even wanting to see Ruan Mian’s glands, he became flustered. By the time he regained his composure, he had already reverted to his human form.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Ruan Mian didn’t care about anything else and asked with concern.
Lu Yang shook his head, “I don’t feel any discomfort, I’m fine, I don’t feel any pain anymore; I should be fine.”
He feels good now, and can feel that the pheromones in his body have completely stabilized.
“That’s good.” Ruan Mian nodded.
Grandpa Lu and Ning Mixiang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They had been worried about how long it would take Lu Yang to change back to human form. Now that he has returned to human form so quickly, they have finally let go of their worries.
After being relieved, they thought of the question just now. Grandpa Lu looked at Lu Yang and said in a deep voice: “Is everything really fine last night? Then why do you two look so strange?”
Lu Yang pretended to be calm and picked up a piece of lettuce and put it in his mouth. He chewed it tastelessly and said in a flat voice: “Nothing happened.”
Ning Mixiang looked at him for a while and couldn’t help but remind him, “You are eating lettuce now.”
“…” Lu Yang paused, the taste of lettuce spreading in his mouth. He frowned unconsciously, hesitated for a while, and swallowed the lettuce stiffly. He said with a stiff face: “I suddenly want to eat vegetables. It’s quite delicious.”
Lu Yang had never liked eating vegetables since he was young. Now that he had rarely expressed a desire to eat vegetables, everyone naturally seized the opportunity to make him eat them.
So Grandpa Lu and Ning Mixiang immediately picked up some vegetables for him and put them in his bowl, saying with a smile: “If it tastes good, eat more.”
Lu Yang: “…”
Ruan Mian picked up his chopsticks, trying to take the opportunity to add a bite of vegetables for Lu Yang.
Lu Yang lifted his gaze and gave him a threatening stare. Ruan Mian, caught off guard, obediently kept his hands still, afraid to make any sudden moves.
Satisfied, Lu Yang returned his attention to his meal. As soon as he looked down to take a sip of water, Ruan Mian quickly grabbed a piece of carrot and slipped it into his bowl.
Lu Yang: “…”
He lowered his head with an ugly face, staring at the yellow and green vegetables on the plate, and wanted to throw his chopsticks and leave directly.
Ruan Mian had no sympathy at all, and even smiled at him with the corners of his lips pursed.
Lu Yang had a hard time complaining. He had eaten more vegetables that morning than he usually did in a year. After slowly eating for an hour, he finally managed to finish all the lettuce and carrots on his plate.
Now that Lu Yang was fine, Ruan Mian needed to hurry back home. He had been preoccupied with Lu Yang’s issues for the past couple of days and hadn’t been able to attend to other matters. His second aunt was still waiting to deal with him.
Grandpa Lu and Ning Mixiang are going to take Lu Yang to the hospital for a follow-up examination. Ruan Mian said goodbye to them and walked home alone.
The weather was clear and sunny, with fluffy white clouds drifting across the bright blue sky. In high spirits, Ruan Mian rounded the corner and saw Wang Dali standing under a large tree by the wall.
Wang Dali looked up at the direction of Lu’s house, with tears in his eyes, looking sad and melancholy.
Ruan Mian hesitated slightly, wondering whether to take another way around.
Before he could turn around and leave, Wang Dali saw him and rushed over. He looked a little restless and asked nervously with red eyes: “Is he… okay?”
This ‘he’ naturally refers to Lu Yang. Although Lu Yang’s genetic mutation to Alpha has not been announced to the public, Wang Dali’s father is an officer under Grandpa Lu, so he has naturally learned the news. It is not surprising that Wang Dali knows about this.
Ruan Mian knew that he could not hide it from him, so he nodded gently and replied: “Fortunately, Lu Yang is fine, don’t worry.”
Wang Dali’s eyes became redder. He paused for a while, his voice choked, and asked hesitantly: “He… really became an Alpha?”
“Yeah.” Seeing that he was about to cry, Ruan Mian didn’t know how to comfort him for a while, so he could only nod gently and soften his voice.
As Lu Yang’s pursuer, Wang Dali was sad about Lu Yang’s sudden genetic mutation, which was understandable.
Wang Dali was so emotional when he heard his words that he couldn’t help crying.
He had a loud voice, and it was even louder when he cried. He cried and said loudly, “I really like him. I have liked him since I first saw him in the military area. He satisfies all my fantasies about an Omega. Why did he suddenly become an Alpha?”
Ruan Mian listened to him in silence, took out a tissue from his clothes, and handed it to him. After hesitating for a while, he whispered, “…Be open-minded.”
Wang Dali had a handsome face and looked good, but now he was crying and looked too miserable.
He took the tissue and wiped his tears, sobbed and asked: “He is now an Alpha, I am also an Alpha, do you think he will still be willing to be with me? I don’t mind AA relationship, will he mind, do you think we still have a chance?”
Hearing this, Ruan Mian gently patted his shoulder, looked at him and said the truth: “Whether he is Omega or Alpha, he would still not be with you…”
Even when Lu Yang was an Omega, he never liked Wang Dali, and now that Lu Yang has become an Alpha, his preferences are unlikely to change easily.
Wang Dali’s sobs choked in his throat as he stared at Ruan Mian for a long time. He seemed too enraged to speak, and the impact of the situation made his body tremble slightly.
Ruan Mian realized that he had been too blunt. Just as he was about to speak and offer some advice, he saw Wang Dali suddenly transform into a rooster, flapping its wings and strutting away with an air of defiance, not giving Ruan Mian a chance to say anything.
Ruan Mian stood there, stunned at his running back and the chicken feathers floating on the ground, silent.
He always knew that Wang Dali was also pure-blooded, but he didn’t know what his animal form was, because Wang Dali never changed his animal form in front of people, even in front of Lu Yang, he never changed. Unexpectedly, he was too emotional today and accidentally revealed his animal form in front of Ruan Mian.
It turned out that his animal form was a rooster.
