Jiang Wan was carefully selecting from the various “simulated Alphas” with different pheromones. Mint scent? Tired of it. Fir? Too bland. Hawthorn flowers? Too straightforward.
Feeling bored, he flopped back onto the bed, recalling the Alpha he saw yesterday. He had just reached adulthood, his entire body exuding the cool, natural scent of cedar. His skin was a beautiful pale white, completely different from the greasy, arrogant Alphas Jiang Wan had encountered before.
What was the Alpha’s name again?
Dou Ming?
Yeah, it should be Dou Ming.
The son of Dou Deli, the man who owed his company 300,000 yuan and had evaded capture for two months. Who would have thought he’d have such a beautiful son?
By all logic, the son’s debt should repay the father’s… Jiang Wan briefly considered having Dou Ming repay the debt with his body.
But as he thought about the boy’s delicate features, enchanting pheromones, and tall, elegant figure, Jiang Wan instinctively felt that using power to pressure him wouldn’t be a good idea.
No, he wanted the boy to willingly… offer up his pheromones. Just one breath a day, that would be enough. Yes, one breath would do.
Jiang Wan glanced at his reflection. He hadn’t found any satisfying Alpha pheromones lately, and he felt like a rose losing its moisture. His pores had enlarged, and his complexion had become dull and lacklustre.
He quickly put on a face mask to hydrate his skin.
After finishing, Jiang Wan looked at his now refreshed reflection in the mirror and made a decision.
The next day.
Jiang Wan wore the high school uniform his assistant had sent over, and after taking a ride in a discreet Maybach, he happily hopped his way into the school.
At the entrance of Class 2, Grade 12, the homeroom teacher had been waiting for some time.
It was said that the son of one of the school’s directors had been bullied at a prestigious school and had transferred here at this critical moment.
The homeroom teacher rubbed his bald head and silently vowed to make the young master feel as warm as home in his class.
If he made the young master happy, he could expect a big sponsorship!
With these thoughts in mind, the homeroom teacher enthusiastically welcomed Jiang Wan.
“Jiang, you’re here early! Come, let me introduce you to your classmates.” The teacher’s old face beamed, wrinkles creasing like a smiling sunflower. He looked at Jiang Wan like he was a walking ATM, and couldn’t help but want to pat his head.
Jiang Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, his hands in his pockets. The plum scent of his pheromones lost its sweetness, turning cool and indifferent.
The teacher’s hand froze mid-air.
Jiang Wan coldly glanced at the sweaty palm, then quickly replaced the expression with a sweet smile, tilting his head in what seemed like a cute gesture. In a soft, delicate voice, he asked, “Teacher, am I late? Maybe we should head to the classroom now.”
Without waiting for an answer, he skipped his way inside.
The teacher stood there stunned for a moment, watching the well-behaved Jiang Wan enter the room. He couldn’t help but wonder: Did I just feel a hint of killing intent? Must’ve been my imagination.
Yes, definitely a misunderstanding.
Reassuring himself, the teacher followed Jiang Wan into the classroom, ready to introduce him to the students.
“Everyone, quiet down,” the teacher cleared his throat, preparing to speak.
However, before he could say anything, he was shocked to find the room already eerily quiet.
Holy crap! A beauty just walked in! And an Omega!
The classroom, which was filled with restless Beta and Alpha pheromones, suddenly felt much warmer.
In a time when Omegas were extremely rare, elite schools opened their doors almost unconditionally to them. But in this regular school, it was nearly impossible to see a live Omega, let alone in a class filled mostly with Betas and a few scattered Alphas.
Many students had never even seen an Omega before in their lives.
The legendary soft, fragrant, angelic Omega!
The students of Class 2 all held their breath, eyes wide and unblinking as they stared at Jiang Wan.
Sweet, it’s so sweet!
The Omega smelled divine!
So intoxicatingly sweet that even the Betas’ hearts were racing, and their faces flushed with heat.
The Betas stared at Jiang Wan with crimson faces, suddenly realizing—what about the two Alphas in their class?
That’s right. Class 2 had two Alphas, a rare ratio in an average class like theirs.
After all, some classes didn’t have even one Alpha.
All the Betas immediately turned their attention to one Alpha in particular—their sports representative, Zhou Kui.
Wasn’t Zhou Kui always bragging about his self-control? Saying that even if a hundred Omegas stood in front of him, he wouldn’t be affected?
Jiang Wan followed their gaze and looked at Zhou Kui. This tall guy sat at the back near the aisle, his expression flat, seemingly unaffected by the Omega’s sweet pheromones.
“Wow, Zhou Kui’s impressive.”
“Didn’t the biology teacher say no Alpha can resist the attraction between AO, unless they’re already bonded with a partner?”
“Exactly! Zhou Kui’s on another level.”
The Betas whispered among themselves, glancing cautiously at Jiang Wan, worried that Zhou Kui’s lack of reaction would hurt the Omega’s pride.
After all, for an Alpha to remain indifferent to an Omega was practically an insult to the Omega.
Jiang Wan, however, didn’t care about those glances. His eyes shifted slightly, landing on the boy sitting beside Zhou Kui.
The boy was wearing a simple school uniform, a white shirt with all the buttons fastened to the top. His short hair looked neat and tidy, and his amber eyes reflected the sunlight like gems.
He wasn’t looking at Jiang Wan, only focusing on his book, yet Jiang Wan’s heart skipped a beat.
It was him, Dou Ming.
In that instant, the sweet fragrance of the Omega’s pheromones intensified, finally breaking through the Alphas’ defenses.
“Wait… Stop praising Zhou Kui and look at his pants…”
“Pfft…”
“He almost had me fooled…”
“No doubt, that’s an Alpha for you…!”
Jiang Wan snapped out of his thoughts and looked back at Zhou Kui. The usually composed boy now stood abruptly, his face tight with tension, and without glancing at Jiang Wan, he bolted out of the classroom.
“Zhou—” The teacher called out awkwardly but quickly stopped. What was the point in calling him back? To have everyone watch his problem grow worse? Better let him deal with it… The school nurse had probably taught them about this, right?
With that thought, the teacher hurriedly introduced Jiang Wan and assigned him a seat.
“Jiang, you can sit in the third row.”
Even though Jiang Wan was an Omega, he wasn’t short. But the teacher, in a show of care, assigned him a front-row seat.
Jiang Wan smiled understandingly, “Teacher, if I sit in the third row, I might block the view of the students behind me. How about I sit in the back?” Without waiting for a response, he headed to the back of the classroom and smiled at a Beta student. “Is it okay if I sit next to you?”
The Beta’s face flushed bright red, stammering, unable to speak.
The other students, whose eyes had been following Jiang Wan’s every move, looked at the lucky Beta. Some sighed in frustration, almost waving their arms, shouting, “My deskmate says they’ll give you their seat!”
Feeling the intense, jealous gazes, the Beta boy panicked and shouted, “Of course! Of course, you can!”
Jiang Wan offered a gracious smile and turned to the teacher, winking playfully. “Teacher, can I sit here, please?”
The cutesy act sent a wave of gasps through the class.
“Oh my god, adorable!”
“My life is complete, I’m so happy!”
“Omega’s voice is so sweet!”
Jiang Wan, a 25-year-old single Omega, shamelessly played along with the compliments, sitting gracefully under the admiring gazes. Proudly, he turned his head ever so slightly to glance at the Alpha sitting by the window across the aisle.
So, Dou Ming, still pretending to study? All your classmates are already captivated by my cuteness.
Meanwhile, the Beta students were also glancing at Dou Ming, curious to see if the last remaining Alpha in the class was truly staying calm, or if he, too, had already fallen victim to the sweet scent.
Under Jiang Wan’s intentional nonchalance and the Betas’ eager, wide-eyed stares, Dou Ming slowly put down his book and stood up.
“Dou Ming’s standing up!”
“Is it happening?”
“Wait, nothing’s showing.”
“Could it be… too small?”
“He’s an Alpha, come on!”
“Not like you, obviously.”
“Shut up, I’m bigger than you.”
“Wanna compare after class?”
“Fine, see you at the restroom.”
…
Jiang Wan tuned out the bizarre conversation that had started to unfold among the Betas. Sneaking glances at Dou Ming, he wondered: Is he just adjusting his stance or something?
With Zhou Kui’s earlier reaction, Jiang Wan was brimming with confidence. These inexperienced boys were easy prey. If Dou Ming confessed to him later, should he pretend to be pure and play hard to get?
But then, with a quick swish, Dou Ming opened the window.
Jiang Wan’s daydreams came to an abrupt halt as he watched Dou Ming in confusion.
The young Alpha stood by the window, raising his hand to his nose and waving it, as if trying to dispel some awful odor, like someone had let out a bad smell and he was chasing it away.
Jiang Wan: “…”
The classroom fell silent again, the Beta students glancing between Dou Ming and Jiang Wan, not daring to speak further.
