Chapter 69: Then… Reward Me with an Omega

Chapter 69: Then... Reward Me with an Omega

That was a pretty loaded thing to say, especially with Qin Yan's tone and the way his hands were moving, like he was asking:

"We've already made out and felt each other up so many times, don't you know exactly who I like messing around with?"

Su Zhiyu's ears went bright red in a flash, and his legs curled up again without him even thinking about it.

"What're you hiding from? Huh?"

Qin Yan smoothly wedged himself between his legs, so he couldn't curl up, forcing him to drape one leg over Qin Yan's.

Su Zhiyu jolted: "You—"

"What about me?" Qin Yan pulled him closer, letting out a low chuckle. "Don't you wanna know if I like Alphas? Spread your legs a little, and I'll tell you."

Su Zhiyu's head was buzzing, about to explode. Embarrassed and pissed, he tried to shove him away. "You—let go of me."

"Nope."

Qin Yan didn't just refuse to let go—he held on even tighter, his solid chest pressed flush against Su Zhiyu's back, wrapping him up completely in his arms.

The scorching heat and raw desire seeped through the thin layer of their pajamas, passing between their bodies.

Su Zhiyu's breath hitched as he tried to squirm away, only to feel the thing pressed against his waist twitch too.

He went completely still.

Qin Yan kept nuzzling his sensitive neck, his voice low and coaxing: "Be good, just relax, and I'll give you your answer."

Su Zhiyu's face was burning, and his words came out all jumbled: "N-no, that's not..."

"Oh, it's needed, alright." Qin Yan huffed. "You asked, so I gotta answer. But I want a little something in return."

A reward?

Su Zhiyu knew it wasn't gonna be anything good, but somehow, like he was possessed, he went along and asked, "Wh-what kind of reward?"

Qin Yan slyly pressed his thigh up against him, making the guy in his arms let out a muffled groan and grab the blanket on instinct.

"Then... give me an Omega as my reward."

Qin Yan leaned in, grabbed Su Zhiyu's hands, pinned them above his head, and pressed them into the pillow.

Su Zhiyu's eyes flickered: "Qin Yan..."

"I'm right here." Qin Yan leaned down. "I said I'd do it, so here it is. I don't like Alphas, and I don't like Betas."

He *doesn't* like Alphas?

Hearing that, Su Zhiyu's eyes lit up for a second, and the weight on his chest finally lifted.

Good. He doesn't like them.

"I only like Omegas," Qin Yan murmured. "Especially the kind who blushes at the slightest tease—like a cute little rabbit. I could just eat them up."

Huh?

Before Su Zhiyu could even react, he was swallowed up in a fierce kiss.

At some point, Qin Yan let go of his hands, and Su Zhiyu didn't even try to push him off. Lost in the haze, he actually wrapped his arms around Qin Yan's waist.

Qin Yan froze.

This was the first time—the first time Su Zhiyu had ever reached out to touch him in a moment like this.

Such a small gesture, but it filled him with shock and joy, a rush of energy flooding his chest, like he wanted to give it all back to the other guy.

Su Zhiyu suddenly tightened his arms, a tiny, helpless whimper slipping out of his throat.

The sweet scent of white peach bloomed, stronger than it had ever been.

...

The next day.

"Su Zhiyu's Love Affair," "Multiple Rivals in Love," "The True Face of the Pure Omega Exposed," "The Cold Persona of an O-Star Crashes"...

A flood of entertainment news sprouted up out of nowhere, and half of the top trending headlines were related to this topic.

The posts also included some photos.

In the parking lot, Su Zhiyu and Yang Yichen got out of the car together, walking side by side, the atmosphere ambiguous.

Also, in the theater, Ji Yucheng turned his head to talk to Su Zhiyu, the two locking eyes deeply, sparks flying everywhere.

And Yang Yichen and Ji Yucheng, with Su Zhiyu between them, glaring at each other.

Even more, Su Zhiyu, Yang Yichen, and Ji Yucheng were seen entering a shop together.

And the paparazzi captured Su Zhiyu leaving a private room, then being pulled into a shadowy corner with someone, their postures intimate, even embracing.

Su Zhiyu already had considerable fame and attention, and his recent appearances on shows had frequently gone viral, earning him many fans and exposure.

This exposé, complete with photos and evidence, instantly exploded across the internet.

—"I knew this Su Zhiyu was no good. Always putting on that aloof persona, and now he's been exposed."

—"He always seemed out of place on the show, deliberately acting like he didn't fit in. Turns out his private life is this messy. What a fake."

—"Some haters need to stop talking nonsense. That's just how he is. I've followed him in person before."

—"What do these photos prove? As far as I know, this was Liu Mian's stage play. What's wrong with going to support a friend's play?"

—"An Omega whose friends are all Alphas. What a pure white lotus."

—"Does anyone remember what happened when the show first started? There were rumors of Su Zhiyu being molested. Did he seduce someone, fail, and then turn it around to accuse them?"

—"People who spread baseless rumors should just die. A few photos and you're making up slanderous stories. This really shows me the diversity of human trash."

—"Can't an Omega have Alpha friends? What kind of stereotype is that? I'm so done."

—"Did some people wrap their brains up with their bound feet? What's wrong with him making normal friends? In my view, two Alphas fighting over Su Zhiyu just shows his charm. They're the ones who clung to him."

—"Leave my Yucheng oppa out of this. He's not dating and has no crush. Say otherwise and I'll curse your whole family."

—"Also leave my Yichen baby alone. He and Zhi Yu are just good friends. They've had meals together in groups many times. Are you blind?"

—"Kiss, kiss, kiss my ass. With photos this blurry, you're calling it Yu Bao? I'd say it's your dad."

——‘Blame Zhi Yu for being too popular? Two extra admirers and suddenly his image is ruined? That’s way too much.’

——‘I’ve got my own eyes, thanks. Haters, get lost.’

Fans, haters, rival fanbases, and bystanders all dove into the drama, with Ji Yucheng and Yang Yichen’s fans also getting pulled into the online fight, though they mostly kept their cool.

The attacks were almost entirely focused on Su Zhiyu.

Even if it was a three-way romantic mess, only the Omega took the brunt of the blame and insults.

Even without some invisible force stirring the pot, the Omega was still the one who got hurt in these situations.

It was like, in love-related drama, only the Omega could be blamed—how could an Alpha ever be at fault?

They were born to be on top, to dominate.

And Omegas were just lowly beings meant to be controlled and led around, even though equality campaigns were long over and society seemed to have achieved Alpha-Omega equality on the surface, the hierarchy ingrained in some people’s bones was still stubbornly hard to shake.

Being an Omega seemed to be a mistake in itself, destined to be second-class.

The whole thing blew up fast.

A trivial matter with zero evidence was treated like some disgusting, shameful secret, and a growing flood of accusations and abuse poured into Su Zhiyu’s account.
