He Xingzhou glanced at him, then after a few seconds of eye contact, voluntarily picked up the glass.
As the glass touched his lips, he paused briefly, as if struggling internally, but then chose to gulp it down in one go.
Xiao Can stared at his profile, unconsciously licking his lips.
After drinking a few sips, He Xingzhou’s speed noticeably slowed down, and his swallowing became more strained.
“Only two sips left,” Xiao Can urged from the side, “Stop dragging it out.”
Finally finishing the beer in his glass, He Xingzhou let out a long breath, his breathing becoming rapid.
Looking at Xiao Can again, his gaze now carried obvious signs of drunkenness. “It’s not that I can’t drink, I just don’t like to,” he said.
“Oh really?” Xiao Can grinned, “You looked pretty handsome when you finished it all in one go.”
A little praise after a little punishment, this simple and straightforward approach surprisingly worked on He Xingzhou.
When Xiao Can casually refilled his cup again, He Xingzhou didn’t protest.
Would He Xingzhou drink if another Omega coaxed him like this? Perhaps he would, but other Omegas wouldn’t dare to do so.
Why think about these things? Xiao Can picked up his glass, lowered the rim to He Xingzhou’s cup, lightly clinking it against his, saying, “Cheers.”
Without waiting for He Xingzhou’s reaction, he tilted his head back and drank. Finishing the drink, he lowered his glass and grinned at He Xingzhou.
“Your call,” Xiao Can said.
He Xingzhou’s eyes were unfocused, and he hesitated for a moment with furrowed brows before picking up the glass again.
By the time they left, He Xingzhou was thoroughly out of it.
His eyes half-closed, his gaze unfocused, he showed no reaction to anything around him and remained silent, completely spaced out.
Xiao Can supported him as they walked, and He Xingzhou swayed but obediently followed.
“Are you alright, Zhou ge?” someone nearby worried.
“I’m fine,” Xiao Can answered for him with a smile, “Just a bit slow to react, but he’s sober, don’t worry.” Then he turned to He Xingzhou and asked, “Isn’t that right, Mr. He?”
As he asked, he discreetly nudged He Xingzhou’s back, and He Xingzhou nodded slightly in response.
Once they were in the car, He Xingzhou leaned back in his seat and fell asleep. Even when they arrived at the hotel, he didn’t wake up until Xiao Can shook his shoulder.
After that, he followed Xiao Can into the elevator, drooping his head the entire way, silent the entire time.
He was surprisingly obedient.
Xiao Can silently congratulated himself. He was a handful when sober, but he handled alcohol quite well. He didn’t cause any trouble at all.
As the elevator ascended, Xiao Can couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Successfully getting him drunk and bringing him back to the hotel was the first step of his plan. The next steps were crucial.
He wiped his face with his hand, unable to determine if the warmth on his cheeks was from the alcohol in his bloodstream.
Exiting the elevator, they passed He Xingzhou’s room first.
When they reached the door, Xiao Can stopped and asked, “Where’s your room key?”
He didn’t want to bring He Xingzhou to his room; it would be inconvenient to clean up afterward. If he took care of everything in He Xingzhou’s room, he could slip away later and pretend nothing happened. Even if He Xingzhou remembered fragments, he could deny everything.
He Xingzhou didn’t react, half-closing his eyes, leaning against the wall, unmoving.
Xiao Can was at a loss and reached into his pants pocket, finding a rectangular, hard object. Pulling it out, he saw it was a phone.
“Where did you put your room key?” he asked softly.
He Xingzhou’s eyelids lifted slightly, looking at him dazedly.
Xiao Can continued searching his body. It wasn’t in his pants pocket or the outer pocket of his coat. After hesitating for a moment, he unzipped He Xingzhou’s coat and reached inside.
What he touched was He Xingzhou’s warm body temperature. It made him nervously tremble uncontrollably, his fingers shaking.
Calm down. He told himself, what he had to do later was a hundred times more excessive than this.
Soon, Xiao Can felt what seemed like a key card through the fabric.
Just as he was about to reach for it, He Xingzhou, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, “What are you doing?”
“…The room key,” Xiao Can said, “I’m helping you open the door.”
He Xingzhou’s slightly lowered eyelashes trembled slightly. After a long while, he seemed to finally understand the meaning of the words and replied, “Oh, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Xiao Can swallowed a gulp of saliva, took out the room key, which carried He Xingzhou’s body temperature, and pressed it against the sensor.
After a crisp electronic sound, the door opened.
Xiao Can pushed the door open and saw that He Xingzhou showed no reaction. He took the initiative to grab He Xingzhou’s wrist and dragged him inside.
He Xingzhou stumbled into the room, suddenly sobering up a bit, and asked, “Why are you coming in too?”
Xiao Can’s heart pounded like a drum, and he quickly pulled back his hand. “I- I thought you’d invite me in for a bit?”
After a moment’s thought, He Xingzhou nodded, “Okay.”
After saying that, he took the initiative to walk inside. Just as he passed the entrance, his feet suddenly staggered. Xiao Can instinctively reached out to support him, but he was bumped into, causing him to step back twice and lose his balance, falling to the ground.
He Xingzhou also fell, with most of his body pressing against Xiao Can’s.
The floor was covered with thick carpet, dissipating most of the impact. Xiao Can’s fall didn’t hurt much, but he couldn’t help feeling dizzy.
He drank much more than He Xingzhou did, and no matter how good his alcohol tolerance was, it couldn’t be completely unaffected.
Finally coming to his senses from the confusion, he was completely unable to move due to nervousness.
A few months ago, he was marked by He Xingzhou right here.
He Xingzhou was now lying heavily on top of him, and he didn’t know if he had fallen asleep completely, motionless, without any reaction.
Xiao Can nervously raised his head and confirmed that the door was completely closed. Now, there were only the two of them in the entire space, and anything that happened here would not be known by anyone else.
Was it time for the next step?
“He Xingzhou?” Xiao Can called out softly.
After about four or five seconds passed, He Xingzhou finally reacted, “Hmm?”
His voice was very soft, slightly hoarse, with a strong sense of exhaustion.
Xiao Can answered him in his heart, I’m going to take advantage of you.
But how exactly should he do it?
Xiao Can reached out his hands, hesitated for a moment, and tried to hug He Xingzhou’s back.
So, what’s next?
Most of He Xingzhou’s weight was pressing down on him, very heavy. Xiao Can thought to himself that it must be because He Xingzhou was too heavy that he felt his breathing was difficult.
Holding still like this, he wouldn’t be able to complete the mark.
Xiao Can groped down, hesitated, and tried to reach under He Xingzhou’s shirt. But as soon as his fingertips touched He Xingzhou’s gentle skin, he recoiled as if he had been shocked.
His heartbeat quickened.
Xiao Can closed his eyes, telling himself to stay calm, this was just a reluctant act to wash away the mark. There was no need to feel guilty, He Xingzhou had done the same thing to him before. They each had their turn, it balanced out.
Why not recall how He Xingzhou had done it last time?
It seemed like he should start with a kiss.
Xiao Can licked his lips, opened his eyes, and tried to look at He Xingzhou.
The room was dimly lit, only vague outlines could be seen. He Xingzhou had a high nose bridge, deep-set eyes, but at this moment, he completely lacked his usual sharpness, instead exuding a hint of gentleness in the faint warm light.
Xiao Can tried to get closer.
From his angle, he couldn’t reach He Xingzhou’s lips, so he kissed He Xingzhou’s cheek instead.
After a brief touch, he retreated, his heart pounding as if it were about to explode, feeling dizzy, as if he were lying on a rocking boat.
Wait, why should he kiss? That’s not important at all.
He wasn’t trying to have romantic love with He Xingzhou. All the romance was unnecessary; he just needed to get to the point.
Xiao Can squeezed his hand between them, slowly moving downward until he touched He Xingzhou’s belt buckle.
He tried to undo the buckle, but his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
After futile attempts for a while, He Xingzhou suddenly moved.
Xiao Can instantly held his breath, bit his lip tightly, and stiffened all over.
“Smells good,” He Xingzhou murmured, leaning slightly toward him and lightly rubbing against his neck.
Xiao Can tensed for a while, dumbfoundedly asking, “Wh-what smells good?”
Buried in his neck, He Xingzhou sniffed deeply for a while and said, “Sweet.”
Xiao Can belatedly realized that he was emitting pheromones.
This seemed like a good start.
For an Alpha, any Omega’s pheromones inherently had an aphrodisiac effect. With He Xingzhou sniffing so closely, he would surely react soon.
He Xingzhou didn’t seem very awake, but as long as he wasn’t asleep, the more confused he was, the better things would be.
He really needed He Xingzhou to be more proactive.
“Are you hot?” Xiao Can tentatively asked, “Should I take off your jacket?”
He Xingzhou was very cooperative, slowly turning to let him take off his jacket.
“It’s still very hot,” He Xingzhou said.
As he spoke, he continued to indulge in nuzzling Xiao Can’s neck.
The warm, moist breath sprayed on Xiao Can’s skin and glands, bringing unbearable itching. Xiao Can instinctively wanted to dodge, but was held in place by He Xingzhou’s arm.
He was completely enveloped by the scent of an Alpha, and Xiao Can’s body gradually softened.
He somewhat regretted it, wanting to escape, yet also enduringly persuading himself to persist.
It wasn’t the first time, and it didn’t feel as bad as he imagined. He closed his eyes, treating it as an enjoyment, enduring it until it was over and he could be completely free.
He kept silently repeating in his mind when he suddenly let out a surprised whimper.
He Xingzhou had bitten his gland with his teeth.
Xiao Can’s body trembled.
He instinctively felt scared, yet at the same time, also became excited.
But this wasn’t enough; he needed He Xingzhou to penetrate his body, to go to the deepest place.
The sharp canine teeth stimulated his skin, and the slight pain made him involuntarily emit some ambiguous sounds.
Xiao Can closed his eyes again, and once more, found He Xingzhou’s belt buckle with his hand.
