MOFB Chapter 46

“The honorable leaders, teachers, and fellow students.” The opening line was delivered by Shen Huaizhi himself. His deep voice resonated through the microphone, causing the screams to escalate.

“Ah! Shen Huaizhi looks so handsome in formal attire!!”

“Which Omega wouldn’t love such an Alpha!!!”

“As long as Shen Huaizhi is willing!!! I want to be an Omega kept by an Alpha!”

“He already has an Omega, can’t you stop showing off.”

Unable to resist, Chen Xingchi remarked, “I feel like half of those cheers are for the class leader.”

Jiang Heng lowered his eyes, reaching into his pocket to touch his phone. Shaking his head, he said, “You’re wrong.” He looked back at the stage. The opening remarks by the host had concluded, and now it was the leaders’ turn to speak. Shen Huaizhi and the other hosts had stepped aside. From Jiang Heng’s position, his line of sight was indeed good, and he could see Shen Huaizhi looking towards the center of the stage with a faint smile.

The screams from earlier instantly died down. Jiang Heng exclaimed with a hint of pride in his tone, “They must all be for him.” He didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

Chen Xingchi fell silent for a moment before replying, “You’re right.”

Indeed, as soon as the class leader appeared, these people became as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. It felt like they were fed a mouthful of dog food.

The leader’s speech lasted a full ten minutes, and the students, who were initially energetic, were instantly bored to the point of drowsiness. Fortunately, the leader also noticed the lack of interest from the audience and ended his speech quite abruptly, returning the stage to the students.

The first performance was a very traditional collective poetry recitation by the teacher team. Although the students weren’t very enthusiastic, they still applauded vigorously after the performance to give the teachers some face.

When Shen Huaizhi and the female host came out, the applause grew even louder.

The program arrangement went from the senior year to the freshman year. Initially, the performances were rather dull. The only highlight from the seniors was a solo dance by a senior sister, which elicited whistles and praise from the audience.

The program from Jiang Heng’s class was the first one from the sophomore year, a very rustic Yellow River Cantata. By the time the cantata started, Jiang Heng was already leaning back in his chair, feeling a bit drowsy. However, to watch Shen Huaizhi who was still hosting, he forced himself to stay awake.

After the sophomore year’s performance ended, the stage finally came to life a bit. The first performance from the freshmen was a current popular rock music piece. When the music started, many people who were feeling lethargic suddenly perked up.

The performer was a fairly good-looking Alpha freshman, and Jiang Heng even heard a few girls shouting his name; he seemed quite famous in the freshman class.

“Let’s rock together!!!” the freshman shouted loudly towards the audience.

“Alright!!!” Someone led the response, and suddenly the atmosphere became lively.

Chen Xingchi had already started swaying along, and seeing Jiang Heng sitting there motionless, he excitedly pulled Jiang Heng to join in.

“Jiang Heng! Come on, move! Get into the groove!”

Jiang Heng: “…”

Jiang Heng lifted his eyelids. Even this rock music couldn’t dispel his drowsiness. The school also rigidly required all students to stay until the end of the performance, or else they would deduct points from their class.

Jiang Heng couldn’t help but silently curse, but it seemed like everyone around him was infected, with quite a few people really getting into the swing of things. This reminded Jiang Heng of the group of square dance aunties he had seen in the park before; with Chen Xingchi’s dancing, he could probably compete with them. Who knows, maybe the aunties would even criticize him for not dancing well enough.

He remained seated, while Chen Xingchi continued to urge him on.

Jiang Heng endured for a while, but eventually reached his limit.

Half a minute later, as the rock music reached its climax, the screams in the auditorium threatened to burst through the ceiling.

The hosts couldn’t leave midway, so Shen Huaizhi and his female partner stood on the side of the stage, waiting for the student performances to end so they could go on stage at any moment.

The side view wasn’t great, as the lighting from the audience area was dim, almost non-existent. However, for this rock music performance, the school seemed to want to enhance the atmosphere and had set up intersecting lights for the audience area as well. Beams of light shone down, making it look like a large-scale dance club scene.

Shen Huaizhi looked up towards the position of Class 2-3 of the second year. Whether it was because Jiang Heng was too eye-catching or not, he immediately spotted Jiang Heng among the students dancing in a frenzy.

The light above shone directly onto Jiang Heng’s body. The youth’s waist was probably quite flexible. As he moved with the music, although his movements were somewhat stiff, they inexplicably attracted people’s attention.

Shen Huaizhi rolled his finger over the hosting card. Despite the distance, he could clearly see the expression on Jiang Heng’s face. It seemed he was a bit tired, with his eyelids drooping slightly, indicating some reluctance.

Not knowing what Chen Xingchi said to him, Jiang Heng lifted his eyelids and his lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. It was fleeting.

Shen Huaizhi unabashedly stared at Jiang Heng for a while, unable to shift his gaze away from him.

Perhaps it was because he was gradually caught up in the atmosphere, Jiang Heng’s smile widened on his face. With both hands raised above his head, he moved to the rhythm of the music, instantly becoming vivid and lively.

This appearance of Jiang Heng made Shen Huaizhi somewhat unable to bear it. A feeling of regret surged up from the bottom of his heart. He shouldn’t have been angry with Jiang Heng at the supermarket earlier. He wasn’t really angry, just a bit overly concerned about Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng’s obvious low mood, even after he inquired about it, still persisted in changing the subject. Apparently, the gentle coaxing he used in the past didn’t work with Jiang Heng. Just as Jiang Heng said, he had habitually protected himself and endured everything on his own, regardless of what happened. This wasn’t a good habit.

Excessive gentleness seemed to have no effect in such situations. Shen Huaizhi could only try to rein in his soft-heartedness when facing Jiang Heng.

It was from that moment on that Shen Huaizhi realized he was indeed a very selfish person, selfishly wanting Jiang Heng to vent all his bad temper on him. That bit of soft-heartedness gradually faded away.

The screams from the audience reached a deafening peak as the rock performance ended, leaving everyone wanting more.

“Encore! Encore!”

“Not enough excitement!”

Not only the students but also the leaders and teachers were caught up in the mood, with even the shouts of male teachers mingling among the students, particularly prominent.

The next hosts were another duo who barely managed to control the crowd for a while before calming down their enthusiasm.

Shen Huaizhi saw Jiang Heng sitting back down, and the lights dimmed again. The audience couldn’t be seen anymore.

Chen Xingchi seemed somewhat unenthusiastic. “Haven’t gone clubbing in ages. Didn’t expect to feel this atmosphere at school.”

“Isn’t it thrilling?”

Jiang Heng remained silent for a moment before finally couldn’t help but curl his lips. “Not bad. If you didn’t dance like a zombie, I might have enjoyed the experience more.”

Chen Xingchi: “…”

“I’m about to cry.”

Jiang Heng ruthlessly nodded. “No tissues, you can wipe yourself with your clothes if you want.”

Chen Xingchi felt quite humiliated. “I have tissues!”

Jiang Heng just responded with an “Oh” and didn’t bother with Chen Xingchi any longer, barely keeping his eyelids open as he let out another long yawn.

For some reason, tonight seemed especially conducive to drowsiness.

He reached for his phone, intending to check the time, but suddenly felt an unusual warmth spreading throughout his body. In just that moment, a dense heat emanated from his chest, gradually engulfing his entire body. This sensation was all too familiar.

Jiang Heng slightly widened his eyes, feeling extremely uncomfortable with the physiological changes. It seemed that the frequency of his sensitivity period had noticeably decreased, perhaps due to spending more time with Shen Huaizhi recently.

Jiang Heng momentarily forgot to take his suppressant in advance; it had been over a week. No one could have anticipated that it would happen at a time like this. Shen Huaizhi wasn’t by his side, he didn’t have his suppressant, and everyone around him was human.

Subconsciously, he looked to the side of the stage. Shen Huaizhi was tilting his head, saying something to his female partner, and his smile seemed to deepen.

This scene intensified the burning sensation in Jiang Heng’s body, and he even felt a slight trend towards pain. The previous sensation of acidity mixed with heat from his heart area made breathing difficult.

Subconsciously, he clenched his phone tightly. After a while, he returned it to his pocket. He couldn’t stay here; during his sensitivity period, he couldn’t control his pheromones, nor could he detect them himself. If his pheromones leaked out, Jiang Heng didn’t know what the consequences would be.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng self-deprecatingly smiled. How unfair it was. Clearly, he couldn’t smell other people’s pheromones, but others could still be affected by his.

Jiang Heng gritted his teeth and stood up directly.

At this moment, Chen Xingchi noticed something was off. “Jiang Heng, where are you going?”

Jiang Heng paused his steps, lowered his eyes, and tried to keep himself calm. “To the restroom.”

Chen Xingchi didn’t suspect anything. “Oh, okay. Hurry back; the homeroom teacher will come to check the attendance in a while.”

“I know.” Jiang Heng frowned slightly. He unexpectedly found that his emotions were not as uncontrollable as they used to be during his sensitivity period. He was still in control of himself.

But there was something not quite right. He seemed to have an extreme longing for Shen Huaizhi’s pheromones. This was a feeling he had never experienced before, like how when someone is thirsty, the brain subconsciously prompts them to drink water, knowing that water can relieve the symptoms of thirst.

It was as if his brain had a memory, subconsciously longing for Shen Huaizhi’s pheromones, more so than during his previous sensitivity and fever periods, both physically and psychologically.

Jiang Heng subconsciously glanced at the stage again, where Shen Huaizhi was bowing his head, looking at the host card.

The program performance was about to end, and he would soon take the stage to host.

Chen Xingchi nodded. “The restroom is on the backstage side. You can go around from the side of the stage.”

Jiang Heng acknowledged with a sound. Originally, Jiang Heng planned to leave directly from the back door. Although the school didn’t allow mid-event exits, the back door was open to prevent emergency situations, making it impossible for students to escape.

Halfway there, he changed his mind. Right now, he really needed the soothing effect of Shen Huaizhi’s pheromones. His brain had formed a memory, compelling him to seek out the other person, even if it meant bringing something containing Shen Huaizhi’s pheromones.

—

“Is that your partner?” Near the end of the program, the female host covered her mouth and leaned close to Shen Huaizhi’s ear, whispering softly.

Shen Huaizhi discreetly stepped back a bit and followed the direction the female host was looking.

On the side of the stage, Jiang Heng’s figure flashed by. Everyone’s attention was focused on the program, and hardly anyone noticed the person passing by.

Shen Huaizhi furrowed his brow slightly. Before he could think too much, the program ended, and the female host quietly reminded them that they should go onstage.

The auditorium at No.1 High School was not usually used. It was generally reserved for hosting more important lectures or inviting alumni to participate in activities. The backstage area was unexpectedly large.

When Jiang Heng entered, still enduring discomfort, he found several high school freshmen students preparing to go onstage near the entrance. Seeing Jiang Heng suddenly enter, they were a little curious.

Jiang Heng took a deep breath, confirming that their expressions were normal and his own emotions were not out of control. He bit his tongue lightly; the pain made his brain clearer and improved his spirits somewhat.

“Excuse me, where is the restroom?” His tone sounded normal.

As soon as he asked, everyone understood.

An enthusiastic junior immediately pointed him in the right direction.

After thanking them, Jiang Heng headed inside.

There were too many rooms and too many people. Many students waiting to perform were crowded into a large dressing room, where the instructors were still calling out names. It was chaotic.

Jiang Heng felt a bit annoyed by the commotion.

Except for the dressing room, the doors of the other rooms were closed. Jiang Heng glanced at the labels on the doors briefly; now it was much easier to find.

The restroom was at the far end. Walking in this way wouldn’t raise any suspicions.

However, the burning sensation on his body became more apparent, and his brain felt much heavier than before, almost like it was pausing, with his mind focused on one thing—finding Shen Huaizhi.

As Jiang Heng was about to reach the innermost part, he finally saw the door with “Shen Huaizhi” written on it. While he breathed a sigh of relief, his nerves tensed up again. The door was locked. Rarely feeling a sense of urgency, Jiang Heng, unable to open the door, felt an impulse to smash it. This urge spread uncontrollably from his brain, and Jiang Heng’s complexion instantly turned unpleasant. His emotions were about to spiral out of control.

“What are you doing?” The teacher in charge of backstage saw someone standing at the dressing room door and thought it might be a thief, instantly becoming alert.

Jiang Heng’s eyelid twitched. Turning around, he leaned against the wall behind him, supporting himself. Seeing it was a teacher, he slightly pulled the corner of his mouth and said, “Teacher, I came to deliver my desk mate’s phone.”

The fingers behind his back pressed against the wall, suppressing the urge to smash something.

The teacher looked at him suspiciously.

Jiang Heng took a deep breath and persisted. He took out Shen Huaizhi’s phone, explaining to the teacher, “This is Shen Huaizhi’s phone. If you don’t believe me, you can make a call to verify it.”

“He left his phone next to me while we were having dinner.”

“Is that so?” The teacher looked at him again. Hearing this, he actually took out his phone and dialed the number.

Jiang Heng’s eyelid twitched again. Thank goodness Shen Huaizhi left his phone with him.

Seeing that the call went through, the suspicion in the teacher’s eyes lessened a bit. “Then leave the phone with me.”

Jiang Heng: “…” Jiang Heng endured it. If it wasn’t for the fact that the person in front of him was a teacher, he might have been unable to resist kicking them out.

“Well, you see, teacher, my phone was left with him.” Jiang Heng spoke earnestly, “We accidentally switched phones. Just now, my family called, and all the calls went to my classmate’s phone. I need to get my phone back…”

Before he could finish speaking, the teacher, seeming to receive some message, became a little impatient. “Alright, alright, I’ll open the door for you. Get what you need and leave. Don’t run around backstage!”

Jiang Heng immediately put on a sincere smile. “Okay, thank you, teacher. I’ll lock the door when I’m done.”

The teacher nodded, found the key, opened the door, and then hurried away.

Once the person left, Jiang Heng breathed a sigh of relief. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he couldn’t resist the urge to punch someone.

He glanced around, confirming that no one saw him, then quickly slipped into Shen Huaizhi’s dressing room. Probably because Alpha had spent a lot of time here, as soon as he entered, Jiang Heng keenly sensed the pheromones left behind by Shen Huaizhi. It was as if they had a fatal attraction, stirring up his inner turmoil.

However, these pheromones were too faint, almost negligible, unable to suppress Jiang Heng’s current burning and restlessness. He scanned the room and found that there were no cabinets inside the dressing room, only clothes hangers. Shen Huaizhi’s school uniform and pants were neatly hung on the hangers.

In addition, there was a sofa in the room that seemed to be used for resting.

His original intention was to wait here for Shen Huaizhi to return. But at the moment, he was feeling too uncomfortable, and his body’s craving was too obvious; he needed to absorb some of Shen Huaizhi’s pheromones to alleviate it. Jiang Heng rubbed his face and his gaze fell on the school uniform and pants. Since they belonged to his boyfriend, it wouldn’t matter if he borrowed them. But then again, holding someone else’s school uniform and pants felt somewhat perverted. Feeling a bit restless, he wandered around the dressing room.

There wasn’t much of Shen Huaizhi’s belongings left here, only a backpack. Jiang Heng endured it and rummaged through the backpack. Inside, there wasn’t much except for a bottle of Omega scent blocker, a box of Omega blocker patches, cold medicine, fever medicine, Yunnan Baiyao, and a bottle of medicated wine. Jiang Heng: …

These things looked like they were prepared for himself. He simply hugged the backpack and sat on the sofa. The backpack was something Shen Huaizhi carried every day, and it retained some of his pheromones. Although not much, it was still better than the thin air. Jiang Heng bit his tongue again. He didn’t bite too hard, just enough to keep himself awake and endure the continuous burning pain emanating from his body. Whether it was his own illusion or not, this time the sensitive period seemed much lighter than before.

After hugging for a while, both his brain and body felt unsatisfied, and the desire for the other’s pheromones became stronger. Jiang Heng grabbed the sofa back, which was soft, and his fingers sank into it, briefly restraining the urge to smash something that arose from the pressure on his finger bones. Because of the force, the joints turned white, and the blue veins on his fair hand became more pronounced.

Once the restlessness was suppressed, Jiang Heng went to rummage through the backpack again. He couldn’t calm down at all at the moment. Although the reaction seemed lighter than before, the symptoms persisted. He didn’t know if his own pheromones had leaked out due to the sensitive period. Jiang Heng lowered his head, rummaged through, and took out the bottle of Omega scent blocker.

It should be Shen Huaizhi who bought it later. The couple’s scent blocker they bought last time at the pharmacy has already been taken by Jiang Heng. The blocker has a lemon scent, the same style as Jiang Heng usually uses, and it has already been opened. After enduring the burning pain for a while, Jiang Heng slowly opened the blocker. Because of his discomfort, he rarely made a somewhat difficult movement to spray the blocker toward his glands. Afraid that his pheromones would really leak out, he sprayed a lot, and soon the rest area was filled with the scent of lemon blocker. However, the blocker couldn’t relieve Jiang Heng’s symptoms.

He sat on the sofa hugging the backpack for a while. He didn’t know how long had passed, but the burning sensation in his body became more pronounced, and his brain gradually began to convey restless thoughts. He wanted to smash things, destroy things, and even when he saw the blocker thrown aside, he had the idea of smashing it. Jiang Heng bit his tongue again, the pain making him regain a bit of rationality, but it was far from enough.

He lowered his head, supported himself with one hand on the sofa for a while, then slowly raised his head, mechanically turned around, and set his gaze on the school uniform hanging there. The scent of pheromones on the intimate clothing must be much stronger than that on the backpack, and it could provide a very brief relief for his discomfort. Jiang Heng stared at the school uniform expressionlessly for a while. You’re a pervert, Jiang Heng!

Half a minute later, he stood up uncontrollably and walked unsteadily toward the clothes rack. Just hug for a while. Return the clothes before Shen Huaizhi comes back. Thinking like this seemed to reduce the feeling of perversion a lot. Jiang Heng reached out and grabbed two shirts. The scent of pheromones on the shirts worn close to the body was the strongest, with a faint scent of lemon shower gel and laundry detergent, but both could be ignored.

Jiang Heng moved his fingers, restrained the impulse to bury his head in it, and quickly took off the pants. Anyway, he was already a pervert, so one more item wouldn’t make a difference. The pheromones on the school uniform were more concentrated and effectively relieved Jiang Heng’s burning sensation at the moment. As the icy pheromones touched his skin, they eagerly spread all over his body. And the uncontrollable burning sensation inside him, when encountering these pheromones, seemed to welcome them extremely friendly, and even became milder.

When Jiang Heng returned to the sofa with Shen Huaizhi’s clothes, for a moment, he felt like he had finally calmed down. The previous pain felt like a dream. But soon, the short-lived effect gradually faded away, followed by a deeper longing.

Desiring more of Shen Huaizhi’s pheromones, similarly, also yearning to be marked. Jiang Heng curled up on the sofa, holding Shen Huaizhi’s clothes in his arms, trembling slightly with restraint. The thought of tearing these clothes apart emerged recklessly. As soon as this thought came to mind, Jiang Heng’s brain became a bit chaotic. He gripped the clothes tightly and lay down for a while before sitting up again.

Then, slowly, he put on Shen Huaizhi’s school uniform pants on his legs. The uniform pants were quite loose, so even if he wore two pairs, they wouldn’t look bulky, and you couldn’t even tell. After putting on the pants, Jiang Heng, whose brain couldn’t function normally, then put on Shen Huaizhi’s school uniform jacket on himself.

After doing all this, he felt a little more at ease and lay down again. He shivered all over, feeling somewhat suppressed, breathing heavily, and the pain on his tongue made him slightly more awake again. After a while, Jiang Heng slowly buried his head in Shen Huaizhi’s shirt. Like a dissatisfied little beast, he rubbed against the clothes.

Author’s note: Shen Huaizhi, can you explain why you’ve already opened the Omega scent blocker?
