TCFGBH Chapter 56

The howling autumn wind rustled the leaves outside, and a few gusts slipped through the cracks into the room, lifting the edges of the curtains slightly.

The young man’s skin was smooth and delicate, like fine silk, impossible to resist touching. In the intense moment, the arrogance and wildness from the bar had vanished. He was as obedient as a house cat, rubbing his head against the man’s hand.

“… It hurts,” he murmured.

A faint blush adorned his cheeks, his upturned peach blossom eyes brimming with allure and temptation, easily driving anyone mad with desire.

The man’s breath quickened slightly.

His thumb lightly pressed at the corner of the young man’s eye. The black pupils were misty, and as he blinked, a few warm tears fell into the man’s palm.

The man’s fingers trembled, and the peachy scent grew even stronger.

Though it wasn’t yet time for the man’s heat, the concentration of pheromones in the room was even denser than during his first heat.

All of it just to tempt his lover.

The S-ranked Omega was unconsciously using every trick in the book.

The man asked again, “Do you really think I’m just a hound?”

But the young man, his mind hazy, was unable to respond. As the man hesitated, not taking any further action, the youth let out a pitiful whimper, frustrated by the lack of comfort.

“Mm.”

The Beta, guided by the Omega’s pheromones, became more aggressive than usual.

He tilted his head and bit down on the man’s finger, gently grinding with his right teeth. He applied a bit more pressure when he felt no resistance, skillfully leaving a clear bite mark.

“I’m releasing too many pheromones to the point where it makes you unconscious, huh?”

The man sighed, gently scraping his fingertip against the young man’s tongue. The man easily withdrew his hand when the youth made a comfortable sound.

“Should we go all the way?”

“…”

No response.

“Nevermind.”

Shen Wenqing leaned down and kissed the young man hard on the lips. His final words were muffled between their mouths, “I’d rather wait until you’re sober.”

–

Morning.

The familiar crispness of dawn came along with the throbbing headache from drinking too much.

“Ugh.”

The young man stirred and realized there was a strong, warm arm wrapped tightly around his waist, holding him firmly in an embrace.

Having been through this several times, he is used to it now.

Though it was occasionally frustrating, there was nothing he could do. After all, Shen Wenqing was taller and more well-built than he was, so it was easy to end up being held like this.

Lifting his gaze, the first thing he noticed was the bite mark on the man’s collarbone.

“…” Help!!! Why does he keep biting people more and more?!”

After a moment of hesitation, he took a deep breath and carefully extended a finger to touch the back of the man’s neck—the spot where an Omega’s gland was located.

Sure enough, there was a bite mark.

Xia Yan: “…”

He’s a beast. He should die.

The sensitive touch to the back of his neck caused the man to grunt, tightening his hold as he opened his eyes, a sleepy haze still lingering in them.

“Yan Yan.”

He called out softly, nuzzling his chin into the young man’s hair.

The soft strands of hair tickled slightly, and even this simple contact filled him with immense satisfaction.

Xia Yan had no memory of the night before. He assumed he’d just been drunk and had forced… well… He quickly sat up in bed, grabbing the long-sleeved shirt at the foot of the bed and pulling it on.

The shirt was long, just barely covering his thighs.

He stood barefoot on the floor, casting a glance at both the man and the collar before finally speaking after a few seconds of hesitation, “Next time I get drunk, let me sleep in the guest room.”

“How could I do that?” The man’s face showed genuine surprise.

“…”

“You’re my boyfriend. I should be taking care of you,” he said sincerely, like a perfect, attentive partner.

Xia Yan wanted to ask, ‘Did you forget that I deliberately insulted you yesterday?’ This is too forgiving!

He rubbed his temples, a headache already forming, and changed the suggestion, “Then at least make sure to keep your collar on.”

“…”

The man’s expression shifted slightly as he finally realized what the young man was thinking. His eyes narrowed, and in an instant, his demeanor softened.

“I really wanted to keep it on, but last night you kept trying to take it off. I couldn’t stop you.”

As he said this, he lifted his head, forcing a smile. “It’s fine, though. It didn’t hurt me at all.” Well, actually, it didn’t hurt—it felt more pleasurable than painful.

Seeing the normally elegant and cold Omega showing such a vulnerable expression made Xia Yan feel a wave of guilt. He wanted to say ‘Sorry,’ but his pride wouldn’t let him.

After some thought, he walked over quickly and lowered his head abruptly.

“Ha! It’s just a couple of bites, right? I’ll let you bite me back,” he declared with feigned arrogance, even though it was meant as an apology. “I want to see how painful it really is.”

His pale, slender neck, with its soft, delicate skin, was now right in front of the man’s face.

Close enough to touch.

The man’s expression became unreadable, a strange mix of emotions crossing his face.

Ten minutes later.

Xia Yan stood in front of the bathroom mirror, struggling to see the bite mark on the back of his neck.

Even though it was just a shallow tooth mark, the pain was sharp enough that it almost brought him to tears. How did Shen Wenqing endure this last night?

As a Beta, who didn’t have pheromones or a real understanding of ABO physiology beyond a vague school lesson, Xia Yan had no idea that an Omega’s body automatically adjusts during a bite, converting most of the pain into pleasure through hormones.

He assumed that Shen Wenqing had felt the same pain, deepening his guilt.

Bang bang bang!

The bathroom door was knocked three times.

A cool voice came from the man outside: “Sorry, Yan Yan, did I hurt you just now when I bit you?”

Having his beloved offer himself up for a ‘mark’ was something he couldn’t resist. He lost control momentarily and applied too much force, only realizing something was wrong afterwards.

“It didn’t hurt, I’m fine,” Xia Yan replied stubbornly.

“…” Seeing through everything, the man hesitated for a moment but didn’t expose the young man’s pride. Instead, he continued and changed the topic, “I’ll make breakfast. What would you like?”

“Congee.”

“Got it.”

Shen Wenqing had lived alone since college, with a housekeeper coming by to clean daily, and a cook who prepared lunch and dinner. Over time, he learned to make simple breakfasts himself.

In the kitchen, he used the pressure cooker to prepare the congee, quickly rinsing the rice, chopping vegetables, and defrosting lean meat to make a vegetable and lean meat congee. The pressure cooker would take about twenty minutes, so in the meantime, he grabbed his clothes and headed to the communal bathroom to wash up.

When he emerged from the shower, the young man was already seated at the dining table, and the congee was nearly done. Two poached eggs and some heated milk completed the meal.

“Do you have class this morning?” Xia Yan asked.

“Yeah,” Shen Wenqing nodded, “I have a major course.”

Xia Yan took a spoonful of congee, swallowed, and then casually said, “I’m bored being alone. Can I come with you?”

Shen Wenqing reminded him, “My course might be boring for you.”

He had always been groomed as an heir and majored in finance. His courses were full of technical terms and weren’t exactly a place to pass time leisurely.

Xia Yan persisted, “I’d like to check it out.”

Since he had already asked, Shen Wenqing had no reason to refuse.

–

S University used to have two male idols.

Yes, used to.

Shen Wenqing was handsome, graceful, and came from a prestigious family. He was the dream lover of countless Betas and Omegas, with forum posts full of people admiring his looks.

Of course, it’s not that Alphas didn’t like him, but his aura clearly made it impossible for him to submit to anyone.

Want to top him? First, ask yourself if you’re worthy.

But no one expected that a week ago, Shen Wenqing, who hadn’t been to campus in a while, suddenly showed up wearing an Omega-exclusive collar.

Everyone: “???” What?! This was huge news!

The school forums blew up with students discussing it, and even some alumni returned to campus to confirm the rumor.

【From male god to goddess.】

【There’s no happiness between two Omegas, sob sob. I’m switching from being a wife fan to just a casual fan.】

【By the way, Shen senior is so powerful, what kind of Alpha could even be worthy of him?】

【Senior Cheng from the sports department isn’t bad—big, muscular, and handsome.】

【Are you serious? A meathead from the sports department? You think he can match Shen Wenqing? And handsome? Could he possibly be more handsome than Shen Wenqing?】

【If you put it that way, no one is worthy.】

Someone timidly suggested: 【Um… have you all forgotten about someone with the surname Wu? 】
