FSO Chapter 15

Jiang Wan had now started his carefree life of “sucking” Dou Ming during the day and “sucking” Dou Ming at night.

At first, he was worried that doing this would drain Dou Ming and affect his studies.

But after two consecutive major exams, Dou Ming was still securely holding the number one spot in his grade.

The pride of Class Two, his reputation lived up to its name.

On the other hand, as for Jiang Wan, college seemed like a waste of time.

He had managed to climb from being the last in class to… still the last, just now in the bottom ten.

Was it because he was getting older, or had times just changed?

Back in the day, even if he wasn’t a top scholar, he could at least have been considered a strong student.

Now, returning to high school, he was actually experiencing the pain of being a poor student.

The math teacher would assign him two extra practice sheets every day, the English teacher would check his vocabulary memorization after class, and both the physics and chemistry teachers would call him to the office whenever they had time. As for the Chinese teacher, she had given him a list of famous books to read and required him to hand in a book report every week.

Jiang Wan: I’m handling an amount of homework I shouldn’t be dealing with at this age.

But there were some upsides.

Probably because he was doing so miserably, Dou Ming couldn’t stand watching and agreed to be his tutor.

So, in the [Father’s Debt, Son’s Repayment] group chat, he sent a message to [Steel Teeth] and [One-Eyed Dragon], telling them to make sure not to show up.

Then, he happily took Dou Ming and got into the car to head home.

Dou Ming noticed that the person who picked them up after school was a new, unfamiliar driver.

He was curious about the relationship between Jiang Wan and [Brother Da Jiang], so he observed the interior of the car, his eyes landing on the incense in front of the dashboard.

He remembered the first time he met [Brother Da Jiang], this same incense had been burning.

Dou Ming glanced at the innocent-looking Jiang Wan, frowning slightly.

Jiang Wan, oblivious, hummed a little tune while looking at his reflection in the window: We, the common folks, are really, really happy~

As he hummed, his feet began to sway happily.

Dou Ming: “…”

This scene reminded him of the foolish son of a rich landlord.

His gaze softened. Jiang Wan had been well protected. Even if he was indeed [Brother Da Jiang]’s child, the dark secrets of that world had nothing to do with him.

Soon, they arrived at the door. Jiang Wan carefully pushed open the door and led Dou Ming upstairs to his room.

“Don’t make a sound. If Aunt Xue sees us, she’ll start lecturing.” he whispered, making a shh gesture.

Dou Ming cooperated and stayed silent.

The two of them tiptoed up to the second floor, and just as they breathed a sigh of relief, Aunt Xue emerged from the kitchen, wearing an apron and holding a vacuum cleaner.

Jiang Wan: “!!!” Aunt Xue was about to clean the room!

Instinctively, he grabbed Dou Ming’s hand and ran toward the closet. Just as Aunt Xue’s footsteps reached the second floor, they slipped into the closet and shut the door.

“Phew.” That was close. He breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly realized something as he glanced at his hand.

He had been holding Dou Ming’s hand, but somehow, it had turned into Dou Ming holding his.

Jiang Wan: “=w=” His smile twisted slightly, but he quickly adjusted his expression, switching to a shy look.

Dou Ming silently released Jiang Wan’s hand. After watching him finish his little performance, he pointed outside: “The footsteps are coming this way.”

“!!!” Why not go to the bedroom? What’s there to clean in a closet?!

Tap tap. Jiang Wan’s hearing was nowhere near as sharp as an Alpha’s, so only now did he hear Aunt Xue’s cat-like footsteps.

He quickly looked around for a place to hide.

His eyes landed on the wardrobe.

In a flash, he darted into the wardrobe and hid among the clothes, waving at Dou Ming: “Quick, get in here.”

Dou Ming: “…”

Jiang Wan: “…”

Their eyes met briefly before they both quickly looked away, each wondering whether the other’s thoughts were wandering into inappropriate territory.

Just before Aunt Xue pushed open the door, Dou Ming also slipped into the wardrobe.

As the door closed, the small space became saturated with the intense scent of Alpha pheromones.

Jiang Wan peered through the gap in the closet door, carefully watching Aunt Xue’s every move.

Even though his attention was focused on her, he couldn’t stop the heat rising at the back of his neck.

His gland eagerly absorbed the pheromones thick in the air, but unlike before, it didn’t feel satisfied or comforted.

The sweet Omega pheromones began to spread urgently, silently expressing its desire: Not enough, it’s still not enough…

Aunt Xue turned on the vacuum cleaner, and amidst its roaring sound, Jiang Wan could feel Dou Ming’s breath on his ear.

“Why are you hiding too?” Dou Ming whispered softly.

Jiang Wan, dazed and confused, thought it over. He’s got a point. I only needed to hide Dou Ming, right?

His body was burning up, and after a brief moment of thought, he whispered back, “I like your pheromones. I just want to be with you.”

A completely nonsensical answer.

Dou Ming frowned.

He glanced at Jiang Wan’s flushed cheeks and raised his hand to touch Jiang Wan’s forehead. As expected, the temperature was alarmingly high.

He took a light sniff, and it was clear that the concentration of Omega pheromones was rising.

All signs indicated that this Omega was about to go into heat.

Jiang Wan’s body felt weak as he struggled to support himself, his brows furrowed, and his eyes losing focus.

The vacuum’s noise never stopped.

Dou Ming gently patted Jiang Wan’s face. “Are you okay?”

Jiang Wan shook his head, seriously analyzing the situation: “Body temperature rising, pheromone concentration increasing, logic gradually fading… all I can think about is… craving intimacy. I’m constantly sending out signals of ‘need.’”

He nodded wisely, concluding with certainty: “Yep, I’m going into heat.”

After his analysis, he gave a proud smile, as if he had it all figured out.

Dou Ming, on the other hand, just wanted to open the closet door and call someone to give him an inhibitor shot.

At that moment, Jiang Wan’s body went limp, and he collapsed against Dou Ming’s chest.

The scorching heat from Jiang Wan’s body spread to Dou Ming’s mind, overwhelming his sense of reason with a flood of pheromones.

The young Alpha raised his hands, afraid to touch the Omega in his arms. In a soft voice, he murmured, “Jiang Wan, stay with me. Let’s get out of here, and I’ll give you an inhibitor shot. Once the shot’s done, you’ll feel better.”

But as soon as Jiang Wan heard the words “inhibitor shot” his body stiffened.

Dou Ming didn’t know what was going on, but his instinctual Alpha drive to protect Omegas kicked in, and he hesitated to open the door. Instead, he gently supported Jiang Wan’s fragile shoulders.

Jiang Wan, leaning against Dou Ming’s chest, timidly raised his head. His bangs were soaked with sweat, and his eyes were clouded with fear. “No, I don’t want it.”

Dou Ming frowned, gently brushing aside the damp strands of hair from his forehead, asking softly, “Do you hate inhibitors that much?”

“Mm.” Jiang Wan nuzzled his chin against Dou Ming’s chest, the scent of cedar calming him slightly. “Inhibitors… hurt.” His tearful eyes gazed up at Dou Ming, fearfully repeating, “It really hurts.”
