Surprisingly, the Qi family also has a property in this small town.
“Yuanchu’s grandfather used to live here for a while. The old house has been preserved since then, with regular cleaning by hired help,” Mrs. Qi said. “It’s been over ten years since we last visited.”
This small town is truly remote. If the central city is considered a top-tier metropolis, then this small town would probably rank as a fourth or fifth-tier city.
Compared to the houses in the central city, the Qi family’s old house here may seem humble, but locally, it is truly a quaint and luxurious mansion.
The old house had been cleaned by servants long before their arrival. As soon as they arrived, they were welcomed in, just in time for a belated lunch.
As they followed behind Mrs. Qi, Qi Yuanchu suddenly stepped closer and whispered, “I’ll get you a suppressant later.”
Xu Yin paused, nodding.
In this world’s setting for omegas, if an omega can accept two or three temporary marks, they can completely suppress their heat.
Xu Yin originally thought that he and the old Alpha wouldn’t need suppressants. He even believed that permanent marking wouldn’t be necessary.
… He was naive.
The intense temporary mark just now made him start to doubt his body… and his abilities.
Perhaps sensing his hesitation, Qi Yuanchu took the initiative to mention the suppressants.
Of course…
Xu Yin glanced at the man beside him.
His mood seemed a bit heavy.
… Xu Yin found it somewhat amusing.

News of the Qi family’s arrival in this small town spread quickly. Not long after lunch, visitors began to arrive, mostly from local upper-class families — though significantly less prestigious compared to the Qi family.
Some of them had heard about the purpose of the Qi family’s visit and began subtly inquiring about “that omega’s” situation.
It was unknown which omega was so lucky to catch the Qi family’s eye, making these visitors willing to come from afar… envy brewed among them.
Others hadn’t heard anything and only knew that Qi Yuanchu had come with Mrs. Qi. They hastily brought their own omegas to visit, chatting for a few moments before asking if Mr. Qi was unavailable, while shamelessly promoting their own sons or daughters.
Mrs. Qi, upholding etiquette, dealt with them all, politely deflecting the former and discreetly refusing the latter, feeling quite tired. She sent someone to find Yuan Lian, who had disappeared somewhere, finally allowing herself to relax a bit.
Meanwhile…
After finishing push-ups and squats, Xu Yin took a shower and heard a knock on the door.
Those two familiar knocks couldn’t be mistaken.
He smiled and said, “Come in.”
The door opened, and the man stood there.
Having just finished exercising and showering, Xu Yin’s omega pheromones permeated the room, sweet and fragrant.
And there stood the man, wearing an oversized shirt, with two slender legs underneath.
Qi Yuanchu’s gaze intensified.
This time, Xu Yin really didn’t mean to tempt his Lao gong, after all, he didn’t know in advance that he would come over. It was just that the person knocking on the door happened to be the him, so he didn’t feel the need to rush to change into pajamas.
He explained, “It seems there aren’t any pajamas prepared in the wardrobe yet, and I wanted to take a nap, so I just grabbed this shirt — perhaps your servant accidentally put your clothes in my room?”
“Yeah.” Qi Yuanchu’s gaze shifted away briefly but returned.
In his eyes, Xu Yin, wearing only his clothes, was the most beautiful omega in the world.
Qi Yuanchu’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
Alpha pheromones began to blend with omega pheromones, silently intertwining.
Xu Yin paused in his actions.
He sighed.
The absurdity of the ABO setting lay in the fact that even though they hadn’t done anything, their pheromones had already revealed everything.
Xu Yin was truly helpless. Initially, he found the ABO setting amusing, but now he finally understood its headache-inducing aspect.
How could they continue like this?
With their pheromones lingering around, no matter how strong his willpower was, no matter how cautious he was about marking, it wouldn’t necessarily last much longer.
Especially after experiencing a temporary mark once, his body already contained faint traces of the man’s pheromones, easily triggered at this moment, making him want to be closer to the man, wanting more.
Qi Yuanchu took a deep breath, tensed his body, and walked in. “I brought the suppressant.”
Xu Yin took the syringe and glanced at it, sighing bitterly. “Okay.”
Qi Yuanchu didn’t move, he just stared at Xu Yin.
Xu Yin lowered his gaze, fiddling with the syringe in his hand.
Qi Yuanchu whispered, “Can I kiss you?”
Xu Yin paused.
He helplessly said, “Didn’t you kiss me just now when we marked each other temporarily?”
Qi Yuanchu gently lifted his chin, hoarsely saying, “Yes… I want to kiss you more sincerely this time.”
Xu Yin raised his head, his beautiful eyes filled with resignation and acceptance.
Like a pool of warm water.
Qi Yuanchu felt his chest heating up.
His gaze approached, and the remaining words drowned in the space between their lips.
Ten minutes later, Xu Yin lay on the bed.
Xu Yin: “I think this setting is really bad.”
018: “You’re just realizing it now.”
The suppressant didn’t work, and they marked each other again. But Xu Yin clearly felt that his heat hadn’t been completely suppressed and needed a third time.
However, after the second temporary mark, the man couldn’t help but go to the bathroom to calm down.
Xu Yin: “I really didn’t expect it to be this bad.”
Although he wanted to be cautious, he unexpectedly felt addicted, unconsciously…
Of course, there was also Qi Yuanchu secretly releasing alpha pheromones to tempt him.
In short, ABO is indeed a dangerous setting.
018: “Actually, if you think about it, with your strong body, you can handle it!”
Xu Yin: “…”
018: “Look, in your previous world, you and your Lao gong were evenly matched!”
Xu Yin, who was “evenly matched”: “…”
He lay on the bed, seriously contemplating this issue, until he realized that he had been thinking for half an hour, and the man hadn’t come out of the bathroom yet. His eyes gradually drifted away.
What’s the deal with Alpha’s body structure?
Who originally created the ABO setting??

On the other side, before leaving the orphanage, Madam Lu called out the tearful Dean who accompanied her son to the infirmary, frowning. “During the time the Qi family is here, make sure Zhou Xiao behaves and doesn’t cause any trouble.”
The Dean quickly wiped away her tears and whispered, “What’s wrong? Can the Qi family really influence us here?”
“Of course they can’t influence us. They have nothing to do with our organization and its authority,” Madam Lu said confidently.
But when Mrs. Qi mentioned Zhou Xiao before leaving, her suggestive tone seemed like a warning.
In theory, Madam Lu felt that even if the Qi family was influential, they couldn’t meddle with their organization’s authority, but she couldn’t shake off a sense of unease.
She didn’t have the patience to explain much to the director. She straightforwardly said, “Just keep an eye on him during this time, behave yourself, don’t cause any trouble. Once the Qi family leaves, he can do whatever he wants.”
The Dean nodded hurriedly.
Back in the ward, she wiped her tears and coaxed Zhou Xiao, who had been crying and complaining of pain, “Be good, son, be patient. We can’t do anything to the Qi family. Once they leave, everything will be fine. Then you can choose another omega from within the institution. Mom guarantees to make your wish come true, okay?”
Zhou Xiao cried and cursed, cursing Qi Yuanchu.
Outside the door, Bai Luo watched them secretly, eyes full of resentment.
…
After Madam Lu returned home with Qin Yuheng, she soon received calls from other wives.
The Qi family rarely appeared in such small places, so how could these wives not want to socialize with her?
However, some wives had the privilege to visit directly, while others didn’t.
Madam Lu was the leader of the wives’ circle in this small town, so all the calls were directed to her, inquiring about organizing events like dinners.
After receiving several calls, she became somewhat annoyed.
But upon further thought, even though their faces had been torn at the orphanage by Yuan Lian, they still had to maintain appearances. They had to show goodwill.
So, after hanging up those calls, she pondered for a moment, then called the subordinates of the organization to delegate tasks.
They were just about to hold a charity dinner anyway, so including the Qi family now would be perfect timing.
Just after finishing her instructions, another call came in.
Madam Lu furrowed her brows and answered. The man on the other end spoke in a sarcastic tone, “Oh, Madam Lu finally has time to answer my call?”
A hint of disgust flashed in Madam Lu’s eyes.
She interrupted whatever the person on the other end was saying impatiently, “I’ve told you, it was an accident, I didn’t mean it. Everyone was caught, what can I do? I have some other matters to discuss with you…”
Qin Yuheng changed his outfit, walked through the living room with a frown, glanced at his mother making a phone call, then averted his gaze as usual.
Madam Lu noticed him and asked loudly, “Where are you going at this hour?”
“To the martial arts hall,” Qin Yuheng replied without turning back, then left.
Madam Lu frowned and opened her mouth to speak, but couldn’t get a word out.
This child never did anything serious; he always loved to run to that martial arts studio from time to time.
Despite all the alphas in that studio, he clearly looked down on them, yet he always liked to be buddy-buddy with them.
Of course, she knew that Qin Yuheng was just fooling around.
But if she had to say, those alphas from ordinary families didn’t even have the necessity to know him.
…
At night, visitors still lingered at the Qi family’s old mansion.
Qi Yuanchu directly took Xu Yin out of the door. After having dinner at a restaurant, they took a stroll in the small town.
Though the town was small, you could still see a martial arts hall every now and then; it seemed to be a feature of this world.
Alphas were energetic and combative, but in times of peace, how could they channel their energy? Thus, martial arts halls were born.
Similarly, betas wanted to keep up with alphas, and omegas didn’t want to be weak, so martial arts halls weren’t solely the domain of alphas — of course, omegas in martial arts halls were still a minority.
Xu Yin had been pondering. In every world, he had to lay claim to an ultimate mission. What could he do in this ABO world?
Now, seeing the martial arts hall, he came up with an idea.
After experiencing those three worlds, wouldn’t it be a waste?
When they returned to the central city, maybe he could go to a martial arts hall first and then find a related job.
Seeing Xu Yin walking toward a martial arts hall lost in thought, Qi Yuanchu asked, “Are you interested in martial arts halls?”
Xu Yin smiled, “Yeah, thinking about trying to find a job in that field.”
Qi Yuanchu patted his head and said, “Then I’ll open one for you when we return to the central city.”
Xu Yin: “…”
He chuckled, “Don’t make grand declarations all the time. I just want to go in and see how they operate.”
Qi Yuanchu, with his usual calm demeanor, accompanied Xu Yin inside.
The martial arts hall was bustling with activity. There were instructors, assistants, and students ranging from ten-year-olds to those in their twenties.
At that moment, Qin Yuheng, clad in a white practice uniform, finally fell to the ground after a series of attacks from his opponent, a young eighteen-year-old alpha. The student, blushing, reached out his hand, “Assistant, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Qin Yuheng grasped the other’s hand and got up, laughing heartily. With two dimples showing on his cheeks, he cheerfully said, “You’re really good.”
“Thanks to the coach and assistant…” the student scratched his head shyly, “You, Assistant, are amazing, even though you’re an omega.”
“I still have a long way to go, so I can only be an assistant!” Qin Yuheng stuck out his tongue, looking somewhat adorable.1TL: Hi! Our internship has finally ended! YEY🎉 I apologize for the late update. I hope you’re still here and this update marks our new beginning. Even though I’m not sure if I won’t be busy again since classes is imminent.
