Jiang Zhihuo’s condition wasn’t much better than Yan Mu’s.
He couldn’t describe this feeling, the dizziness made his mind clouded with fog. Everything in front of him seemed to be blank, his strength appeared to have been drained from his body, and his legs were so weak that he couldn’t even stand properly. He could only squat down slowly.
In the next second, he felt a burning sensation in his nose. Jiang Zhihuo hurriedly covered his nose the moment a drop of bright red blood trickled down between his fingers.
Damn.
What on earth is happening?!
Yan Mu braced himself against the wall, barely managing to stand. After a moment of confusion, he instantly understood his current condition—he was in a susceptible period.
Alpha’s susceptible period couldn’t appear all of sudden.
Yan Mu looked at Jiang Zhihuo and asked, “What have you done?”
“I should be the one to ask you this!” It was as if there was a layer of cotton in his ears, making every noise muffled. Yan Mu’s voice came through, which pounded his eardrums, causing his whole body to tremble. “Only touching you and something like this occurs. Are you poisonous?”
He tilted his head back, and his nose was filled with the smell of blood. His lips were dry, and his throat felt like he hadn’t had water for days, making him extremely thirsty.
The scene before him was even more magical. Whether it was an illusion or not, Yan Mu seemed to be enveloped in a soft glow, and his pheromones rushed straight into his nostrils.
Jiang Zhihuo cursed in a low voice. He closed his eyes and raised his head again—
It was still the same; the pheromones drifted through the gaps between his fingers and went straight into his nostrils. Every cell in his body was craving that fresh scent.
Another voice kept on repeating in his mind again and again: Go and touch that person. It doesn’t matter if you can’t walk; just crawl over.
In the moment when he almost lost his mind, Yan Mu spoke again, revealing the crucial information. “Pheromones.”
The enemy’s voice was unexpectedly effective; Jiang Zhihuo regained a trace of his senses. “I can’t, I can’t control myself.”
His senses only lasted for a moment when his mind buzzed again and his consciousness was gone. His hands and feet no longer obeyed him; an instinct pulled him forward, intending to get closer to those pheromones.
Yan Mu suppressed the boiling blood in him. The susceptible period wouldn’t appear out of the blue for no reason; there was likely only one factor that could cause it to happen.
Just as a vague guess formed in his mind, Jiang Zhihuo had already pounded on him, carrying with him the sweet scent of the pheromones.
It was different from the feeling just now. It also had the scent of alcohol, but this time it was sweet, similar to a fruit wine.
The scent was too strong, strong enough to make his breath quicken, and his thoughts became empty.
—Alphas in their susceptible period couldn’t control themselves at all.
The boy’s neck was as white as porcelain and was currently emanating an incredibly sweet pheromone.
“You are an omega?!” Yan Mu tried to remain as reasonable as possible. However, his voice was still shaking.
Jiang Zhihuo could no longer hear what the other party was saying. He lifted his eyes, which were filled with tears, then grabbed Yan Mu’s hand and pressed it against his neck.
It was very hot, almost like flames burning his fingers.
An alpha’s instinct couldn’t help but burst out.
Then, the young man’s hand climbed over to Yan Mu’s neck, exerting a bit of force while his lips pressed against Yan Mu’s ear and he whispered softly.
Before his last shred of reason disappeared completely, Yan Mu heard Jiang Zhihuo’s lazy voice, uttering only two words.
“Bite me.”
When Jiang Zhihuo opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a hospital room, with a snow-white ceiling and the scent of disinfectant drifting around.
What’s going on?
Jiang Zhihuo’s thoughts hadn’t yet fully returned since he just woke up. He stared at the ceiling for a long while, and the memories of the alley slowly surfaced in his mind.
Many images flickered before his eyes.
He seems to be hugging Yan Mu?
He also pressed Yan Mu against his neck?
And he even asked Yan Mu to bite him??
Biting wasn’t enough, and he wants a kiss too?
After kissing, then continue with biting again??
Jiang Zhihuo jumped up from the hospital bed like a startled carp and touched his neck. There was a piece of gauze on the back of his neck, which felt a bit painful.
Jiang Zhihuo: “……”
And wrapped in gauze as well?!
Just how hard was that bite?!
In the midst of confusion, the door of the room was pushed open, and a nurse came to check on the situation. Seeing that Jiang Zhihuo was awake, she asked a few questions and then said, “Go to Room 15 to see the doctor.”
Jiang Zhihuo still couldn’t shake off the memories just now.
No, no matter what happened, was he that thirsty??
Thirsty for his enemy???
Yan Mu sat on the chair outside of the examination room. When Jiang Zhihuo came out, his expression was strange.
He was the one who got bitten!
What with that expression?! It was as if he had been wronged?!
Jiang Zhihuo put on a righteous and fearless appearance, patting Yan Mu’s shoulder. “It’s alright, this is perfectly normal.”
Yan Mu still had that same expression and asked in return, “Normal?”
Jiang Zhihuo replied, “It’s normal! So what if there were a few bites on the neck? Yes, if your enemy kissed you, you might feel weird, but I’m so handsome, it’s not a loss for you!”
Yan Mu frowned.
Yan Mu, who usually appeared cold, actually showed such an expression, which was quite new. Jiang Zhihuo leaned over closer to Yan Mu and asked, “Is it your first kiss?”
Yan Mu: “……”
The high and mighty Young Master Yan had actually never been in love?!
Jiang Zhihuo laughed with a ‘pfft’ while Yan Mu turned his head aside with a frown.
Jiang Zhihuo walked into the examination room.
The doctor handed him a report paper, likely from the time when he passed out. Jiang Zhihuo didn’t know what to look at first and was about to ask when the doctor said, “You have been marked.”
“…” It took Jiang Zhihuo three seconds to react, and he was confused. “Ah?”
The doctor raised his hand and pointed at the back of Jiang Zhihuo’s neck, where the gauze was likely placed, and repeated, “You have been marked.”
Jiang Zhihuo looked at the doctor in confusion. “?”
What does it mean by ‘marked’?
What kind of mark?
Isn’t he an alpha?
Alphas can be marked too?!
The doctor threw the report on the monitor, pointed to two extremely low numbers and explained, “You’re turning into an omega.”
Jiang Zhihuo suddenly found that he didn’t understand these words at all.
The doctor explained, “There is a possibility for alphas to have a second differentiation. The exact reasons haven’t been determined yet, so the treatment can’t be initiated for the time being.”
“Fortunately, in the previous cases, it’s been confirmed that the second differentiation doesn’t affect physical health. The duration of the entire process is uncertain; some cases last for a few months, while the longest is three years, depending on the person’s physical condition.”
Jiang Zhihuo: “……”
Doctor: “Alphas and omegas have different body structures., so before the second differentiation process is complete, your physical condition may be somewhat unstable.”
Seeing Jiang Zhihuo sitting on the chair like a statue, the doctor asked again, “Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Jiang Zhihuo shook his head.
He didn’t understand; he couldn’t grasp a single word.
After a moment of consideration, the doctor found it hard to phrase it. For an alpha, becoming an omega and being marked was indeed a difficult thing to accept.
The doctor patiently explained, “Omegas have… an estrus period.”
“So, before you completely turn into an omega, you will continue to have estrus.”
“The specific symptoms are different for each person. When the heat accumulates to a certain point, the estrus period will occur. ”
Jiang Zhihuo: “?”
The doctor tried to describe it in more simple terms. “It’s like a cup of water that’s constantly being filled. When it reaches the edge, it will spill over. The filling process is the heat, and the moment it’s spilled is the estrus period.”
Jiang Zhihuo: “……”
Doctor: “Under normal circumstances, the heat process of the second differentiation can be suppressed with drugs, but your situation is special… You have been marked deeply, and medicine won’t work for marked omegas; you must rely on the alpha’s pheromones who marked you.”
Jiang Zhihuo: “……”
“Wait, wait.” Jiang Zhihuo gestured at the doctor to stop. There was too much information for him to process at once.
First, he went through a second differentiation.
Second, he was marked.
Third, he would continue to have an estrus period and must rely on alpha’s pheromones to suppress it.
Jiang Zhihuo had a bad feeling in his heart. “Who marked me?”
Doctor: “The young man who brought you here just now.”
Sure enough, no wonder there was a gauze on the back of his neck. Jiang Zhihuo asked again, “Am I turning into an omega?”
Doctor: “Yes.”
Jiang Zhihuo: “What do you mean by relying on pheromones??”
Doctor: “It involves physical touch, in various ways.”
Jiang Zhihuo’s forehead twitched. “For example?”
“Alpha’s pheromones are found in every cell of the body. Physical contact, including □□1This has been censored in the raws, so I have no idea what’s the exact words, but it might be the xx stuff AHAHAHA contact, counts. I don’t need to explain in detail, right?” The doctor paused, glancing at Jiang Zhihuo’s name on the medical record. “You’re eighteen?”
Jiang Zhihuo: “Yes.”
Eighteen was already an adult, there shouldn’t be any problem. “There’s also…more intimate contact.”
Jiang Zhihuo: “?”
The doctor said two words.
The doctor only said two words, but it was like a bolt of lightning. Jiang Zhihuo abruptly stood up, causing the chair to scrape loudly against the floor. “What?! We’re all guys! And with him. He, he…it’s impossible!!”
When he walked out of the examination room, Yan Mu was still sitting there, probably waiting for him.
When going in, Jiang Zhihuo was so confident, but he was equally dejected when he came out.
He sat two seats away from Yan Mu and didn’t want to have any communication with this person for the time being.
He needed to calm down.
He was turning into an omega. It didn’t matter much to him anyway; it didn’t affect his physical health, and whether he was an alpha or an omega, it didn’t change much.
He was marked. Yan Mu was the one who marked him 一his enemy, his love rival, and the rich second-generation guy that he wanted to punch?! However, it didn’t matter; it was a minor issue. He had taken the initiative earlier; he wasn’t someone who didn’t dare to take responsibility for his action.
He…he could only rely on this person’s pheromones from now? Physical contact, intimate contact, and those two words that the doctor mentioned after asking about his age?!
Jiang Zhihuo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
XX?!
It wasn’t real! It’s impossible!!
He was the school bully! He hadn’t even touched the hand of the girl he was chasing yet, how could he possibly have physical contact with this person?! And…?
Either Jiang Zhihuo jumped off the building, in heat until he burned himself, dropped out of school, or locked himself at home, it was impossible for him to have the slightest contact with this person!!!
What the hell!
Isn’t it just becoming an omega? Isn’t it just having a heat? Isn’t it just going through estrus? What couldn’t he endure?
The author has something to say:
Those two words, yes, it’s exactly the two words you think of.
Not sure if I explained it well, let me clarify. Basically, it’s about being in that ‘period’ all the time, needing various things, you know, hehehe…
I know what you mean, hehehe~
