Chapter 74: Keep Your Hands to Yourself

Then, he kissed him.

!!!

Bai Siyan froze, caught off guard, and before he could react, Wen Qi's arm around his waist suddenly yanked him tight.

As he gasped in pain, Wen Qi easily pried his mouth open...

In Bai Siyan's book, Wen Qi kissing him was a hard no.

Earlier, Wen Qi had tested the waters a few times, but every attempt had been shot down, so he knew it was a boundary.

But Wen Qi kissed him anyway.

With his usual temper, if they were on solid ground with his hands free, he would've already slapped Wen Qi across the face.

But the paraglider hadn't landed, he had no safety harness, and with Wen Qi kissing him, he couldn't make any big moves or use force to shove him off.

What's more, Bai Siyan realized that right now, he didn't actually want to pull away.

This had nothing to do with love or affection.

Right, exactly—it was purely a physical thing on his end.

In the first few minutes of his pheromones going haywire, Bai Siyan's mind was still clear, and his body hadn't reacted the way Wen Qi's had.

But soon, things went sideways.

First, his whole body started heating up, and then that restless, unsatisfied feeling spread through him, making him want to get closer to the Alpha—closer and closer.

This state wasn't unfamiliar to Bai Siyan. Ever since his secondary differentiation, it would hit him from time to time.

This was his Omega heat period kicking in!!

His heat had always been irregular, so he could never predict when it would hit. Compared to last month, this one came several days early.

So when Wen Qi kissed him, Bai Siyan's first thought was that this idiot had gotten bolder.

His second thought was that he was glad he'd come down with Wen Qi. Otherwise, in front of the entire national audience, suddenly turning from A to O and shaming the Bai family—his fate would definitely be worse than an ordinary Omega's.

Bai Siyan started taking the initiative...

"Siyan~"

The paraglider needed to be steered for landing—if he didn't adjust the direction now, they'd miss the spot he'd originally planned.

So Wen Qi called out, supporting Bai Siyan with one hand, and reminded him, "Keep your hands still—hold onto my neck first."

During a heat period, desire takes over the senses, so the brain reacts slower than usual.

Bai Siyan didn't listen at all and kept at it.

"Be good, listen to me." Wen Qi's coaxing voice came through by his ear. "I'm going to let go of my hands. You need to hold onto me yourself to stay up, so stop squirming and hook your arms around my neck properly. Once we land, I'll help you."

As he spoke, the scent of Wen Qi's snake berry spread through the air around them.

It was a soothing pheromone.

Only then did Bai Siyan bring his hands back, wrapping them around Wen Qi's neck again. His legs, still entwined around Wen Qi's waist, tightened, locking his body in place and stopping the squirming.

Bai Siyan squinted, his head half-resting on Wen Qi's shoulder as he breathed in his scent, only glancing around out of the corner of his eye.

The canopy had drifted somewhere unknown, and it didn't seem to be the landing spot the director's team had set up.

After passing over a stretch of forest, the altitude dropped.

With Wen Qi's pheromones soothing him, Bai Siyan's feverish body felt a bit more bearable. Only then, besides the scenery, did he notice something else that caught his attention.

"You know how to paraglide? Judging by your moves, you're not a beginner."

Bai Siyan clearly felt Wen Qi's body stiffen in his arms at those words. But before he could get a reply, the previously steady paraglider suddenly started shaking violently.

"Shit, I lost control of the direction—we're gonna hit the branches. Siyan, hold on tighter!"

Wen Qi's tone was urgent, as if it were a real accident, not something he'd deliberately staged to deflect Bai Siyan's suspicion.

Bai Siyan obediently held on tighter, but his gaze dropped to the ground below, thinking that if they really hit the branches and the fall wasn't too high, he could try jumping off.

Just as the edge of the canopy was about to scrape the branches, Wen Qi suddenly let go of one control handle, pulled a dagger from his high-top boot, and cleanly sliced through the control line on the side about to hit the tree.

The canopy instantly veered to one side, grazing past the gap between the trees, and tumbled down.

The height wasn't too great, and as they landed, Wen Qi shielded his head with his hand, so the fall didn't hurt either of them.

But just as Bai Siyan rolled over on the ground and was about to push himself up, something suddenly struck the back of his neck. His whole body went numb, and he passed out.

Wen Qi reached out to catch the collapsing Bai Siyan, then used his knife to cut away all the lines tangled around them.

He had just finished sorting himself out and stood up when a rustling sound came from behind a tree.

Wen Qi looked up warily, and from behind the thick trunk, a familiar face appeared.

The man's black down jacket hung open, and underneath, he wore a neatly pressed white coat—Bai the First.

He looked like a doctor on duty at a hospital who had hastily thrown on an outer coat and rushed out for an emergency.

Wen Qi locked eyes with the man, and the other spoke first:

"I really can't figure you out. When you fell just now, you could've positioned things so Bai Siyan hit his head and passed out on impact. Instead, you protected him, waited until he landed safely, and then knocked him out yourself. Why?"

"If I do it myself, I can control how hard I hit."

Of course, he knew it would be simpler to make it look like an accident and have Bai Siyan land unconscious, but even if that distance wouldn't kill him, Wen Qi didn't want to risk it.

He didn't want any holes knocked into the back or front of Bai Siyan's head.

Wen Qi answered while shrugging off his jacket and draping it over Bai Siyan.

Now that Bai Siyan was unconscious, his Omega pheromones had stopped spreading. As long as no one got too close, the snake berry scent on Wen Qi would completely mask it.

"Tsk," the man in the white coat—who looked young, around Wen Qi's age—clicked his tongue and pushed the glasses up on his nose. "But haven't you always said that Bai Siyan is wary, and you didn't want to expose yourself, which is why you've been staying by his side without making a move? Doing this now is just overkill—basically the same as outing yourself. It's, well, pretty contradictory."

Wen Qi didn't answer this time.

He lifted Bai Siyan off the ground, walked past the man, and headed toward the wooden cabin nearby.

The man in the white coat naturally followed behind the two.

But just as his foot was about to cross the threshold, Wen Qi suddenly spoke up, "You stay outside. I'll draw the blood and hand it over to you."

"No need for that, isn't it faster with two people helping?"

Seeing Wen Qi's obvious displeasure at that, the man quickly backed down, "Fine, you do it. I need two tubes of blood, so I can separate the serum."

Wen Qi frowned, "Didn't you say one tube was enough before? Why the change?"
