I Like Your Pheromones Ch 24: Morning

Duan Jiayan had a good night’s sleep.

Although he vaguely felt at the latter half of the night something was wrapped around him and he couldn’t move, the fragrance that floated around him made him relax overall. He felt that he hadn’t slept so well for a long time.

Satisfied, he shifted his eyelids, deciding to stretch unhurriedly.

…Hm?

It seems that he’s unable to stretch out his arms?

He gave an experimental struggle. It was useless. The thing that wrapped around him was very strong. His palm couldn’t help but slide downwards, touching a study and smooth section, similar to human skin.

What’s this? A monster with abdominal muscles?

Duan Jiayan was half asleep and half awake. He couldn’t stretch his arm for a long time, so he kicked the thing. The sole of his foot hit something hard.

“…Tch.”

A ‘tch’ sound that was neither quiet nor loud entered into Duan Jiayan’s ear.

The boy’s voice carried an annoyance of being woken up mixed together with a little morning temperament, sounding low and hoarse.

Having his ear pricked by this blunt and aggressive sound, Duan Jiayan opened his eyes at once.

Just then, he looked into the eyes of the boy who was very close to him. That pair of pitch-black and silent eyes lazily glanced at him. The emotions in his eyes were unpredictable and dangerous.

Duan Jiayan saw Lu Xingci, then looked around in confusion, confirming that he was lying on the same bed with him.

After he realized something, he suddenly flipped over. When he saw the futon he put out yesterday still lying on the floor yet he himself was on Lu Xingci’s bed and even curled up in his arms for the whole night—-

In a split second, “did he climb onto Lu Xingci’s bed by himself or did Lu Xingci carry him onto the bed” became a huge question that perplexed Duan Jiayan. 

Duan Jiayan pondered for a few seconds, but couldn’t think of an answer. Fortunately, the guilty party can file the suit first, so he opened his mouth with great momentum: 

“Lu Xingci, what did you do?” Duan Jiayan said as he crept forward and raised his eyebrows, trying to intimidate him: “Ah?”

“What are you Ah-ing for.” After being tormented for most of the night last night, he felt as if he was woken up by Duan Jiayan not long after he closed his eyes. Even though it was so early in the morning, this guy was still getting physical and yelling. Even saints would get angry. Besides, he wasn’t someone who had that good of a temper.

The boy suddenly thought of something, glanced over at him casually, and said lazily: “You’re not calling me Brother Lu?” 

Seeing him so calm, Duan Jiayan couldn’t help but doubt himself for a moment.

He couldn’t have climbed onto Lu Xingci’s bed while sleeping last night, could he?

Not only did he climb up, but, because of his stress disorder, he even hugged Duan Jiayan?

If this really was how it was…

Duan Jiayan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He was a bit diffident, a rare sight: “Last night…”

“I carried you up here.” Lu Xingci said directly.

Duan Jiayan heard that and immediately got confidence: “What did you carry me up here for?”

“Then should I have let you sleep on the floor and watch you as you kick the whole of your own blanket away and end up catching a cold and running a fever, with a backache?” Lu Xingci saw that he even dared to creep forward and was too lazy to show courtesy. He leaned forward a little, his tone full of guidance, enunciating every word: “Otherwise, what do you think I carried you up here to do?” 

When he reached the “to” word, somehow, either intentionally or unintentionally, his sound became heavier.

The Alpha’s pheromones overwhelmingly put pressure on him. Most likely because of a lack of sleep, Lu Xingci looked a little different than usual.

Duan Jiayan felt that his ear had been ruthlessly pricked again.

“…”

Seeing how he suddenly quieted down, Lu Xingci laughed.

It was soft, carrying a vague delight. Duan Jiayan clearly caught sight of his Adam’s apple bobbing. This sort of aggressive male image made Duan Jiayan frown and just as he was about to speak-

“Don’t you say that every night in the dormitory, Song Yi would think that you were dead in your bed?”

“…”

“Is being dead in your bed the same as not only kicking and beating the person beside you in bed but also hoarding the blanket?” Lu Xingci, unclear if he was smiling or not, looked at him: “Are you 

a feigned corpse*

?”

T/N: [诈尸] (Zha Shi) – A live person disguised as a corpse who can suddenly stand up to frighten people.

“…”

Seeing that his biggest lie was exposed right in front of his face, Duan Jiayan abandoned his shield and armor, becoming completely silent.

At this exact moment.

Accompanied by a wave of knocking sounds, Chen Yue’s voice came from outside the door.

“Lu-dawg? Are you awake yet?”

Duan Jiayan reminded him: “Someone’s knocking.”

“I heard it.” Lu Xingci drawled: “I’m not deaf.”

Duan Jiayan saw that he was filled with drive and decided to avoid the fight, not discussing whether he was deaf or not: “Go open the door.”

Lu Xingci raised his eyebrows.

Duan Jiayan was feeling too lazy to get out of bed. He feared that Lu Xingci would make him get up and go open the door, so he just buried his face into the pillow. A muffled voice made its way out from the pillow: “I’ve already become one with your bed. We’re already unable to separate. I’ll die if we do.”

Lu Xingci watched as he acted shamelessly and rolled into the bed, his light brown hair-covered head buried in the snow-white soft pillow, refusing to move.

The appearance was a bit funny.

He yielded to his heart’s desire and reached out his hand, messing up Duan Jiayan’s hair even more.

Suddenly having his hair messed up, Duan Jiayan was a bit puzzled. But when he saw Lu Xingci getting up from the bed, he was relieved and decided not to bother him.

Lu Xingci pulled open the door. Chen Yue, who saw that he finally opened the door, rubbed his nose: “Did I wake you?”

“No. I was already up. Do you need something?”

“I just remembered that I forgot to bring a blocker. I wanted to borrow one from you.” As Chen Yue said that, he planned to walk into the room. Just as he was about to take a step, he caught sight of a lump on Lu Xingci’s bed when the person in question was standing right there…

Chen Yue paused and asked hesitantly: “Is there someone else in your room?”

Song Yi happened to pass by them in the corridor at this time. He was going to find Duan Jiayan. When he heard Chen Yue’s words, he completely froze in his steps and his gaze floated over.

There’s someone else in the class president’s room?

There’s someone else?!

Who? Who’s was so fucking cunning? Who directly slept together with him?

When he thought about it carefully, Song Yi felt that although this person used such a wild method, they were very strategic.

In a wild and mountainous place, with a lone Alpha and a few Omega… Isn’t this just a golden opportunity bestowed by the heavens?

Song Yi can’t help but lean over, wanting to see which coquettish young girl was so skilled at seizing the opportunity.

“Mhm, Duan Jiayan.” Lu Xingci dismissed lightly: “He’s lazing in bed.”

Song Yi: “……”

Chen Yue: “……”

Song Yi blurted: “Fuck! Xiao-Duan, are you even human? So you took the lead in getting to the 2nd or 3rd base with the whole group of sisters behind your back?”

Chen Yue followed closely: “Fuck! Lu Xingci, are you even human? Were you being shameless and deceived him last night?”

The two of them almost spoke at the same time. Lu Xingci got a headache from the noise and looked up: “What are you being so loud about?”

Song Yi and Chen Yue were shocked by his glance, and both stepped back reflexively.

Song Yi almost became absent-minded: “Xiao-Duan is in there? Why isn’t he saying anything? “

Lu Xingci looked over at the bed.

Song Yi and Chen Yue were blocked by him so they couldn’t see, but from Lu Xingci’s angle, he could clearly see Duan Jiayan’s head buried in the pillow. Probably annoyed by their noise, he pulled another pillow over and pressed it over his head.

“Him?” Remembering the big lie Duan Jiayan told him last night, Lu Xingci laughed lightly: “He’s dead on the bed.”

Song Yi’s voice trembled a little: “Dead… Dead on the bed?”

Chen Yue didn’t know what to say, so he could only sigh: “…What a beast ah. “

Duan Jiayan put down the pillow at this time. He flipped over on the bed a little uncomfortably. Although he couldn’t clearly hear what they were saying, there was too much noise outside for him to continue lazing in bed.

Duan Jiayan found his slippers and scuffed them to the door.

Chen Yue looked at him and said nothing.

Duan Jiayan took the lead and said: “Good morning, director Chen.”

Chen Yue: “…Early morning, director Duan.”

Chen Yue paused: “You… can still walk?”

At this moment, Song Yi had finished his mental preparation. He felt that instead of letting a cheap little coquettish girl who sprouted out from nowhere do it in the future, it seemed easier to accept that his brother slept with the male god. Besides, these two people standing next to each other do look visually attractive.

Song Yi gently advised him: “Xiao-Duan, you don’t have to pretend nothing happened. If you feel tired, you should rest a bit more.”

“I’m not tired.” Duan Jiayan was unable to understand what it was all about. Seeing Song Yi’s silence, he turned to look at Lu Xingci: “Then I’ll head back first. Thanks ah.”

With that said, he walked away from the room with Song Yi. Chen Yue saw that he was wearing short sleeves and shorts, chatting with Song Yi as he walked, leaving Lu Xingci’s room in such an open way.

He should still be tainted with Lu Xingci’s pheromones. Just running out like this can really stimulate an Alpha’s possessiveness.

But Lu Xingci didn’t stop him.

Chen Yuen turned back and looked at Lu Xingci with hesitation.

“The blocker is on the bedside table.” Feeling a bit tired, Lu Xingci turned sideways, allowing room to pass: “Go get it yourself.”

“Lu-dawg, did you…” Chen Yue bit his tongue and swallowed the last few words. Even if he got a few more guts, he still wouldn’t dare to ask if it was done in front of the crown prince.

“I didn’t.” Lu Xingci cut him off: “We just slept. Literally, slept.”

Chen Yue wore an expression as if Lu Xingci was trying to lie to fucking ghosts. Seeing him like this, Lu Xingci scoffed. Because of sleep deprivation, his voice was a little hoarse.

“If something really happened, would I have let him walk out of this door?”

“…”

Chen Yue looked into Lu Xingci’s eyes, which showed a trace of an indescribable expression only Alphas could understand.

Chen Yue quivered because of that look and he felt uncomfortable all over. It was like a beast saw an aggressive enemy in its own territory, which instinctively made it repel the fierce aggressiveness.

Chen Yue was convinced by him.

If it were him, if the Omega he made love to dearly the previous night slipped away from right under his nose, it would be strange if he hadn’t pulled them back and given them a scolding.

But Chen Yue was still confused: “Why did he want to sleep with you?”

“Maybe it was because he wanted to tell me a bedtime story.” Lu Xingci said carelessly: “Them school bullies all like to tell bedtime stories to others.”

“…”

“The story was pretty good too.”
