Isolated in a remote location, cut off from the outside world.
Of course, the person who created this environment could easily claim that the internal funding was limited, and she was doing it for the omegas’ own good. In such a “peaceful” environment, omegas could study well and cultivate themselves.
However, the omega who peeked at them during their journey upstairs showed not only curiosity and inquiry in their eyes, but also jealousy and fear.
What were they afraid of?
In today’s special meeting, not only did the Qin family intervene, but Qin Yuheng also attempted to “expose” Xu Yin’s “true identity” at first glance.
Given all this—
Qi Yuanchu’’s gaze returned to Xu Yin.
He asked, “How long ago did you submit your discharge application?”
Xu Yin knew that this man should have figured it out within these few short seconds.
He sighed helplessly. “Six months ago.”
Qi Yuanchu’s face grew even colder.
Six months.
Omega orphans can apply to leave the orphanage anytime after reaching adulthood. Generally, such applications are easy to approve, taking only two to three days to process. The Omega Rights Association might even help omega orphans find jobs and integrate into society.
Six months for an application time was almost laughable.
And just now, that woman downstairs had spoken to Xu Yin with such a benevolent expression.
Xu Yin said, “The Association in this small town is a bit strange. I suspect Mrs. Lu might have someone behind her.”
“It’s not that there’s someone behind her,” Qi Yuanchu said coldly, “It’s just that the previous Association leaders were all incompetent fools.”
Xu Yin was stunned, then stood up.
What did Qi Yuanchu know?
Qi Yuanchu continued slowly, “The Omega Rights Association leader neglects their duties, and the various omega rights organizations are almost unregulated. The quality of welfare depends on how competent the regional leaders are—because until now, the national welfare organization system has remained in this state, which is why it has been so unscrupulous.”
Hearing this, Xu Yin’s expression subtly changed.
So, was it just Madam Lu’s assumption?
Qi Yuanchu spoke with a serious face, but his touch on Xu Yin’s earlobe was gentle. He solemnly promised, “Don’t worry, this matter will be resolved soon.”
“…Okay,” Xu Yin smiled.
This matter was quite complicated, as Xu Yin had suspected early on. But he trusted his lover. It seemed that resolving this matter wouldn’t be difficult with him on board.
If that was the case, it couldn’t be better.
Setting this matter aside for now, Qi Yuanchu furrowed his brows again and whispered, “You still haven’t used suppressants until now?”
Xu Yin’s eyes flickered.
In fact, after finding out the person matched with him that night was his Lao gong, he thought… Whether to use suppressants or not didn’t seem to matter?
Speaking of which, although the ABO setting was embarrassing and social, Xu Yin was quite interested in it. After all, he didn’t seem as upright as he appeared on the surface.
With that in mind… he raised his lips, lifted his hands again, and wrapped them around Qi Yuanchu’s neck.
Qi Yuanchu stiffened.
The young man in front of him seemed deliberate. With a beautiful smile in his eyes, he suddenly asked in a gentle tone, “Hmm… Does my scent smell good, Mr. Qi?”
Qi Yuanchu’s body tensed again.
The scent of jasmine became even stronger.
Entwined and lingering.
It smelled good.
Very sweet.
Qi Yuanchu stares deeply at the young man, his Adam’s apple rolling, unable to utter a word.
And the young man’s hand, which was wrapped around the back of his neck, slowly moved to the back of his head.
The young man tilted his head back, gazing at him, the curve of his lips gradually widening.
He whispered softly, “By the way, Mr. Qi, what exactly did you dream about before?”
Those erotic scenes flashed through Qi Yuanchu’s mind again, and his breathing became erratic.
He hoarsely replied, “Do you know what you’re doing?”
Xu Yin could almost feel the man about to explode.
He raised his eyebrows and leaned in slowly, his breath spraying against the man’s ear, igniting a fire, “Do you want to bite into my neck?”
…
Outside the door, someone approached quietly, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation inside the room.
Suddenly, there was a “bang” sound, as if something heavy had hit the door.
The person, puzzled, listened for a while, then widened their eyes in shock, their face flushing red, and hurriedly covered their mouth before turning to flee.
…
Seeing no one respond to him, Zhou Xiao stealthily went upstairs.
He thought of Xu Yin’s handsome face, his heart filled with jealousy as he reached the floor.
The corridor was quiet, with no one around, but there was a faint scent of flowers mingled with a cool woody fragrance.
Zhou Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, even more jealous—That jasmine scent was Xu Yin’s pheromone! It was so strong that it reached the corridor. What were they doing in the room?!
He wanted to eavesdrop but didn’t dare. After hesitating for a moment, the door suddenly opened, and a man walked out.
The jasmine fragrance rushed out in that instant, and the man closed the door.
Then, he looked up.
His pitch-black eyes seemed to still be burning, but when he saw Zhou Xiao, they dropped to freezing point.
Zhou Xiao shuddered and took a step back.
The man walked toward him expressionlessly.
Alpha pheromones surged out, but for betas, instead of making their legs weak like it did for omegas, it only brought pressure and fear.
Zhou Xiao suddenly felt as if something heavy was pressing down on him, almost making him collapse to the ground. He retreated in fear, stammering, “Wh-what are you, you, you, what are you going to do?”
The man said nothing, just stared at him coldly, stepping closer step by step.
Zhou Xiao instantly regretted coming to this floor. He instinctively raised his hands to shield his face and rambled, “I, I just wanted to say goodbye to Yin Yin. I- I didn’t mean anything, I swear!”
The man seemed to ignore his words, continuing to approach him menacingly. Zhou Xiao turned to run—
But just before he could turn around, his left foot stepped into nothingness—
Then his whole body fell backward, and there was a scream echoing in the staircase!
…
Xu Yin sat on the edge of the bed, supporting himself with both hands.
It took him a while to recover, and when he opened his eyes, they were still tinged with red, his legs still feeling weak.
The ABO setting was too intense.
The alpha pheromones were too intense.
And his Lao gong, who had turned into an alpha in this world, was too intense.
Xu Yin touched the swollen area on the back of his neck, silently regretting it.
He had been excited to try out this abo setting, but he hadn’t expected a simple temporary mark to almost cause a disaster. He regretted teasing his Lao gong just now.
Suddenly, he heard some commotion outside, followed by the door being opened again, and the man returning.
Xu Yin: “…”
Xu Yin: “Why are you back again?”
Didn’t they agree to let him cool off in the room alone?
Qi Yuanchu frowned. “It’s a bit noisy outside.”
“What happened?” Xu Yin was puzzled.
Qi Yuanchu shook his head, expressionless. “I don’t know, it’s none of my business.”
Xu Yin: “?”
As soon as Qi Yuanchu finished speaking, he walked over and sat beside Xu Yin, looking at the mark on the back of his neck sincerely. “I think the temporary mark just now didn’t look very good. We can redo it.”
Xu Yin: “No, you go out.”
Qi Yuanchu: “…………”
Just now, it wasn’t like this.
*
Due to the man’s return, Xu Yin ended up “calming down” in the room for another half hour before finally recovering and heading downstairs with the dog.
Downstairs, he heard that Zhou Xiao had fallen down the stairs and been taken to the infirmary?
Xu Yin was puzzled, but it didn’t concern him, so he shrugged it off.
As soon as he appeared downstairs, a faint scent of alpha pheromones emanated from him, causing the people downstairs to change their expressions.
Qi’s mother and Qi Lian were overjoyed—Qi Yuanchu had already made the temporary mark so quickly!
This child was really quick to mature!
Qin Yuheng, still harboring some hope, was greeted with this result, his face pale and his eyes turning red. Mrs. Lu patted him tenderly and said, “Go wait for me outside.”
Qin Yuheng stomped his foot and left.
But even though his anger was evident, no one paid attention to him in the entire hall.
Qi’s mother lovingly patted Xu Yin’s head, and after exchanging a few words with Mrs. Lu, she even mentioned Zhou Xiao in passing, causing Mrs. Lu’s expression to tense slightly.
But Qi’s mother seemed not to notice, and after finishing her words with a smile, she bid farewell.
They all got into the car.
Qi Yuanchu opened the door for Xu Yin, waited for him to get in, and then followed suit. He then took the little black dog from Xu Yin and asked if Xu Yin wanted something to eat.
Every move was gentle and caring.
Qi’s mother smiled so much that she couldn’t contain herself and casually asked, “Have you figured it out?”
Qi Lian smirked and replied, “I made a call and called the future colleagues. I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing even when I’m on vacation. Looks like I have to start work early.”
Qi Yuanchu didn’t even lift his head. “The Regional Affairs Bureau can also conduct a joint investigation.”
Qi Lian: “Got it, and also about the background of that dean—”
Qi Yuanchu: “I’ve already sent someone to investigate.”
In just a few words, the three members of the Qi family seemed to have communicated some very important matters.
Xu Yin glanced at them.
Oh no.
Qi’s mother turned to look at Xu Yin, smiling gently. “You got up very early this morning, are you tired? Do you want to lean on Yuanchu and take a nap?”
Qi Yuanchu immediately looked at Xu Yin keenly.
Xu Yin: “…”
He smiled. “No need, I’m very energetic, thank you for your concern, Auntie.”
That temporary mark made him feel uncomfortable all over when he got close to Qi Yuanchu and smelled the alpha pheromones on him.
Terrible ABO setting.
He felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
