The abandoned equipment room had not been used for a long time, and the door was already somewhat rusty. When Jiang Heng kicked the door, he even heard the door rattle twice, and there seemed to be a tendency to shake and fall.
Apparently sensing the intrusion, Zhou Qi Ran eased his restraint on Lu Zhuan. His fangs were about to reach the Omega’s delicate gland, but suddenly, his nose was filled with a sweet and exclusive Omega pheromone.
As soon as the door opened, the light in the equipment room improved significantly. Jiang Heng squinted his eyes.
He saw an Omega leaning weakly against the wall, unable to resist, and a fervent Alpha with madness on his face.
Ah, what was the name of this Alpha again? Jiang Heng thought for a while but couldn’t recall. He only remembered that others called him “Young Master,” seeming to be the son of the school director.
He decided to retract the favorable comment “the school leadership knows how to have fun.”
Jiang Heng smiled and kicked the door with his foot. Even from here, he could hear the sound of athletes on the field performing their routines. When he entered, the air, which had poor circulation before, was now filled with his pheromones.
Omegas entering their heat period would unconsciously emit a sticky and enticing pheromone that could tempt Alphas to commit crimes. Even Lu Zhuan’s eyes showed a momentary daze due to this excessively sweet pheromone.
However, he quickly bit his tongue to stay awake. Seeing Jiang Heng, Lu Zhuan subconsciously relaxed for a moment.
But the next words from Zhou Qi Ran made Lu Zhuan’s mood plunge again. Zhou Qi Ran, one hand pressing on the back of Lu Zhuan’s neck, used pheromones to suppress him, preventing him from moving. Zhou Qi Ran turned around and looked at Jiang Heng.
“Are you in heat?” Zhou Qi Ran smiled. It was the first time he had encountered an Omega who willingly came to him. Although Jiang Heng didn’t fit his aesthetic standards, he didn’t mind trying something different occasionally.
Hearing him continue to vent, “A monster Omega who can’t smell Alpha pheromones!” He was about to laugh as if he had discovered some secret. But the next moment, he couldn’t laugh anymore.
Jiang Heng grabbed the hair on the back of his head, repeatedly slamming him against the wall.
“Yes, a monster,” Jiang Heng licked his lips, seemingly unaware of the blood gradually seeping from Zhou Qi Ran’s forehead. “And you’re just trash.”
A monster was still one step higher than trash.
Jiang Heng laughed.
Lu Zhuan regained some composure, and what he saw was Jiang Heng smashing the person against the wall like crazy. He heard Zhou Qi Ran’s weak voice but couldn’t make out what he was saying.
Lu Zhuan opened his mouth, wanting to say to stop, that if he continued, someone might die. But in the end, he didn’t speak.
“Fuck, let go…”
At first, Zhou Qi Ran could still resist. Later on, the pain made it so he couldn’t even open his eyes, letting himself be manipulated.
When he thought he was about to be smashed to death, Jiang Heng’s strength diminished significantly. He heard someone shout, “Jiang Heng.”
The voice was very light, yet it seemed gentle.
The force that was holding the back of Zhou Qi Ran’s head suddenly disappeared. Blood from the wound on his forehead blurred Zhou Qi Ran’s eyes. He struggled to open them, but before his gaze could land on the other person, a hand effortlessly lifted him from the ground.
Immediately after, his chest received a vicious kick. This kick was even stronger than the two hits Jiang Heng had just delivered, sending him crashing into the opposite wall. When his body collided with the wall, a loud noise echoed.
Jiang Heng felt as if he had fallen into a state of unconsciousness, yet he hadn’t. He had almost no strength left in his body, and relying on instinct alone, his brain was dizzy.
In a daze, he heard someone call his name. A hand with a cool touch grasped the hand that was restraining Zhou Qi Ran.
His skin was burning hot, but the other person’s warmth effectively alleviated the heat. Someone hugged him from the front, and his chin conveniently rested on the other’s shoulder.
The familiar scent, like melting snow after an early spring sunrise, enveloped him entirely. It unconsciously made him want to get closer, to blend with the other.
Jiang Heng lifted his eyelids slightly, only then realizing how drained he was. Recognizing this, his breathing became slightly rapid, and the hand held by Shen Huaizhi trembled slightly.
He opened his mouth, and a jumble of chaotic thoughts flashed through his brain. He wasn’t a monster, much less trash. Everyone’s birth was predetermined. When he was born, Jiang Jin and Xie An had him undergo genetic testing, stating he would unquestionably differentiate into an Omega. Even so, he grew up following the life trajectory of an Alpha.
Jiang Jin was an Alpha, and Xie An was a Beta. They might have wondered why an Omega was born when they were both AB. Perhaps they didn’t believe in genetic testing since Jiang Heng’s life didn’t resemble that of an Omega. Until Jiang Jin and Xie An divorced.
Jiang Heng had overheard their conversation and heard the gentle couple arguing. Jiang Jin said he fell in love with an Omega, both mentally and physically. At that time, Jiang Heng didn’t understand the meaning of love, nor did he comprehend why his parents would separate or the differences among ABO. Later, after Jiang Jin and Xie An divorced, Xie An gently told him that no matter what his secondary gender traits were, it wouldn’t change the fact that they were family.
When Shen Huaizhi and Jiang Heng, looking like conjoined twins, arrived, the driver was even startled. He had never seen the young master be so intimate with anyone, and the young master had never brought a friend home or used the family car.
This was the first time.
After the two got into the car, the driver asked, “Young Master, heading home?”
Shen Huaizhi remained silent for a moment. Jiang Heng seemed to genuinely like the scent on him. Even in the car, his head still rested on Shen Huaizhi’s shoulder.
His gaze had become somewhat hazy, as if losing self-awareness. Shen Huaizhi touched his cheek, feeling the warmth.
“Jiang Heng, do we have suppressants at home?”
Jiang Heng’s eyelids trembled. He felt terrible. The body’s restless heat didn’t find relief, and his head was spinning. Just leaning on this person seemed incapable of solving the problem. The faint scent of pheromones couldn’t alleviate his discomfort, and he even complained a bit about why the other person wasn’t releasing more pheromones. This tiny amount wasn’t enough.
He struggled to lift his eyelids, and even breathing became scorching. “Can’t remember,” he seemed to ponder for a moment. His hands, hanging by his sides, slowly moved and tentatively touched Shen Huaizhi’s waist.
Noticing his actions, Shen Huaizhi lowered his eyes, and his throat rolled. However, he didn’t push away. With silent permission, Jiang Heng slowly hugged the other’s slender waist. He had almost no strength left, and his hands felt soft and warm. Pressing against the other person eased him considerably.
“Let’s go home,” Shen Huaizhi said to the driver.
If they lingered here, he feared losing control, as he couldn’t use a large amount of pheromones to soothe Jiang Heng. This situation was different. He couldn’t treat Jiang Heng as merely a responsibility that needed care. Once the pheromones went out of control, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t do something terrifying to Jiang Heng.
This was different from an Alpha’s heat period. A simple hug or kiss couldn’t alleviate it. He might ignore Jiang Heng’s personal will and forcibly mark him or engage in more intense and twisted actions.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Alphas had little resistance when facing an Omega they liked, especially one emitting sweet, tempting pheromones during the heat period. Temptation.
He fell silent for a moment, reluctantly leaned closer, and asked softly, “Jiang Heng, do you remember who I am?”
Jiang Heng found this question amusing, apparently, as he slightly pulled up the corners of his mouth. However, lacking strength, his smile looked very weak.
“Shen Huaizhi.” His voice was a bit hoarse. “Are you stupid?”
He seemed to retain some sanity. Yet, despite his soft tone, his actions lacked any rationality. Though seemingly unable to open his eyes, his hands still firmly gripped Shen Huaizhi. Shen Huaizhi’s possessiveness intensified as he observed him.
Alphas were natural predators. They lacked humanity and tenderness. What they possessed was the desire to dominate, to exclusively own an Omega, to invade an Omega.
Shen Huaizhi gently touched Jiang Heng’s feverish cheek, almost kneeling at the bedside, almost face-to-face with Jiang Heng, staring at him. He slowly asked, “Are you afraid of pain?” Although gentle, it sounded like a predator inquiring.
