Bai Huai wanted to pick Jian Songyi, but Jian Songyi felt that he could not be hugged. How can an Alpha be hugged?

It’s so unseemly.

Jian Songyi squeezed out the last strength he had in his system to push Bai Huai away from him. “Who let you into my house? You are trespassing.”

Like a cat scratching, Jian Songyi ever so slowly had gotten into Bai Huai’s nerves. He felt pissed that he threw Jian Songyi on his back whether he liked it or not.

“Since when do I need your permission to come into your house?” He questioned. 

“You’re a bully.”

After using his last strength to diss Bai Huai, Jian Songyi lost consciousness, his body needing a break from all the pain he is receiving all throughout since he had started his differentiation. 

…

Jian Songyi was injured once in his first year of junior high school. It was a rainy day. Leaves have been drifting off of the trees due to heavy rainfall and the hard wind blows. Eventually, it all piled to the ground close to the mud and puddles that formed due to the bad weather. 

Young master Jian Songyi walked with his eyes elsewhere and fell down. He broke his ankle in the process.

At that time, it was Bai Huai who carried Jian Songyi to the hospital and waited on him until Mrs. Tang came. 

Jian Songyi strongly protested as he was embarrassed that Bai Huai was carrying him on his back. His awkwardness was also evident as he make random refusals and excuses that doesn’t have any context. Nevertheless, Bai Huai didn’t pay attention to him or the people who are looking. Jian Songyi was lightweight so he did not really mind at all. 

Jian Song didn’t remember exactly what it felt like when he was carried on Bai Huai’s back.

He only remembered that it was raining heavily that day. He was holding an umbrella. The rain was crackling while the wind was a little arrogant, and the air was wet and cold. 

The taste of the teenager under him was dry and warm, and he walked steadily step by step.

Just like this.

Jian Songyi was so out of it that he could not tell the difference between today and that evening. It was just the same to him. He was lying on his back, smelling his familiar scent, and having that relaxing trance from that rainy day several years ago.

His hands subconsciously wrapped around Bai Huai’s neck as his lips wriggled and moved slightly. And then he murmured, “Brother Huai.” 

That’s what he called him when he was still very young. Somehow, he remembered it clearly until it was not relevant anymore. 

Bai Huai put his arms around his legs. His serious face then slowly softened. And ever so slowly, his usual straight face smiled. 

How can this man act like a spoiled child when he is ill?

He really looks like a bully robbing his daughter-in-law.

‘But what can I do if I am not a bully?’ Bai Huai asked himself.

He just wanted to coax Jian Songyi by returning his school uniform, but as soon as he reached downstairs, pheromones poured in everywhere. 

He had never seen an Alpha differentiation have pheromone so out of control that Jian Songyi could not even answer his phone.

He is quite rational enough that he didn’t smash the door.

He can’t imagine what would have happened if he hadn’t come today.

Excessive worry and nervousness made Bai Huai unaware of what was wrong.

After Bai Huai settled Jian Songyi in the VIP ward, he went to see the doctor about the situation.

When the doctor saw that the two children were so beautiful and no adult followed them in the middle of the night, he inevitably thought more and asked tentatively, “What is the relationship between you and the patient?”

Remembering to whisper, Bai Huai lowered his eyes and said, “I’m his brother.”

The doctor nodded in a disgruntled tone: “Omega differentiation is such a dangerous thing. How can parents rest assured not to keep by?”

“Omega?”

Bai Huai raised his eyelids, and thousands of unspeakable complex emotions emerged in the blink of an eye from his normally unwary amber eyes.

“That’s right.” The doctor wrote the order and said, “It’s not common to have such a high Omega, but he really is an Omega. The O sex hormone in his body has reached a critical level. His organs have also matured, which means he will differentiate tonight. Don’t worry, though. He is in good physical condition, and there is no big problem. He will be fine when his fever goes down. I’ll write you another list of the inhibitors and blockers. “

Bai Huai listened to the doctor and tried to write down all that he had said, but he was a little confused.

Omega.

How can Jian Songyi be an Omega?

Back in the ward, as he sat by the bed to look over at the face he had sketched in his mind countless times in the past three years, Bai Huai suddenly didn’t know what to say.

He really is beautiful, exquisite even. He had that little reddish blush on the corners of his eyes and cheeks, He has this fair complexion and that cherry blossom hue which makes him more attractive.

Jian Songyi is also tall, but he is quite thinner than the ordinary Alpha. He is so thin that Bai Huai can easily lift him without much of a fight.

From this point of view, anyone could tell that there are resemblances to Omegas. 

‘Come to think of it, I was obviously attracted when I smelled his pheromone. It’s not the same hostility between two Alphas.’ Bai Huai thought in realization.

He thought it was because he liked him so much, for so long, that he liked what he should have liked, and what he shouldn’t have liked.

 After all, he was always convinced about the fact that Jian Songyi was an Alpha.

To this end, he left without saying goodbye and went to Beicheng for three years.

When he finally figured it out and came back, God sent Jian Songyi to him and said, “You see, he is an Omega.”

There is only pain in Bai Huai’s heart.

What should he do with such a proud kid?

He stretched out his hand and touched Jian Songyi’s face as if it could give some relief and tenderness. Not a second after and his fingertips were grabbed.

Jian Songyi turned over as he curled slightly. Anyone would notice the frown on his face, showcasing his deep discomfort. But then, Jian Songyi seemed to find relief from Bai Huai’s smell through his fingertips. And like a kitten, he greedily wrapped clung unto Bai Huai’s whole arm. 

He pulled Bai Huai towards him as he made sure to press themselves together. With that, Bai Huai simply decided to turn over and went to bed to hug Jian Songyi in his arms. 

Bai Huai’s arm is preoccupied as Jian Songyi cuddles with it while his other one went down Jian Songyi’s back, as he tried to comfort him with his own pheromone.

But to Bai Huai’s surprise, Jian Songyi was greedier than he had imagined. By instinct, Jian Songyi unrestrainedly buried his face against Bai Huai’s neck and made himself comfortable. 

Bai Huai thought he was going to die.

The teenager he had put in his heart for years is now seeking comfort in his arms as an Omega. 

The smooth and white glands that had never been marked were right in front of him, smelling of his own pheromones.

As long as the mark is made, the person will depend on him and will only belong to him. So long as the mark is made, the person will not have to suffer so much. 

It sounds as if there is no reason to necessarily restrain the surging possessiveness within himself from wanting to mark Jian Songyi.

He bowed his head and sent his lips to the position of Jian Songyi’s gland.

He gave a superficial kiss against it and then quickly moved away.

He took care of his sweat-soaked forehead before sighing.  “Sorry. Bear with it for a little longer. It won’t feel bad after a while.”

He couldn’t mark Jian Songyi. 

He cherishes him so much. How can he be willing to mark him without his knowledge and consent?

He must wait until he became older and learned what love truly meant. The days are still long. Plus, he is used to waiting, anyway. He could definitely afford to wait a few years more. Jian Songyi stirred in his sleep as he showed signs of finally waking up. Bai Huai got out of bed gently, but he could not fully pull himself away from him since Jian Songyi was still cuddling with it like it was his. 

Unluckily, the man painstakingly opened his eyelids and said, “Are you going to take advantage of vulnerable people? You’re going to try and ruin my handsome face while I’m asleep, aren’t you?”

Okay. It seems like Jian Songyi is being playful. He is not in danger yet. 

Bai Huai tried to withdraw his hand, but Jian Songyi did not let go of him. Instead, he buried his nose against his skin, crinkling it to sniff him twice. 

Bai Huai stifled a chuckle. “Are you imitating a puppy?”

“Don’t be stingy.” Jian Songyi pouted a little as he released his arm. “Is this the smell of your pheromone?”

“Do you smell something?”

“It smells like a pine forest under snow.”

“Does it smell good?”

Jian Songyi suddenly remembered that he had to smell Bai Huai’s pheromone and praise it. At that time, he didn’t that there was any difference between tasting and flirting.

Embarrassed to look away, he spoke: “You said you had nothing to do with the pheromone, and you didn’t know how to collect it. If you don’t receive it well, spray more blocking agent.”

Bai Huai did not refute his unreasonable throwing put, since his tone is calm and gentle anyway. “You are already differentiated. It will be much easier for you to have Alpha pheromone pacification.” 

“Why do I need Alpha appeasement as an Alpha?”

Jian Songyi stared right back at Bai Huai and as the silence continued to pass them by, the more his features began to worry and be bewildered. 

His eyes became dull with each passing second. He is weak and now more confused than ever. 

Bai Huai only stared right back at Jian Songyi, but he could not bear the look on his face. The longer he drags it on, the more it hurts him. In the end, he has let out the truth with the most common and indifferent tone that he could muster. “Because you’re an Omega.” 

Because

You are

An

OMEGA?!

It was such a short sentence but Jian Songyi had to digest it for more than a minute. “What did you just say? Say it again?”

Bai Huia said nothing and handed the test report directly to him. 

Jian Songyi watched him. When he took a glance over at the report, he could not help but flinch. In complete denial, he tried to laugh it off: “I’m really confused. I am still dreaming, aren’t I?”

Bai Huai: “…..”

Thirty seconds later, he turned over and took another look at the test report. “Nope, I am not awake yet.”

With that, he turned over and shrank into the quilt.

Bai Huia: “…..”

“This guy is a cute little squishy pancake.’ Bai Huai thought.

He knew it was a little difficult for Jian Songyi to accept it, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to accept it.

Bai Huai needs to enlighten him that is this is the reality even if it is hard to swallow. “I can smell your pheromone. You’re really an Omega.”

The figure with its back to Bai Huai stiffened. His shoulder and necklines straightened for a moment. The folds on the blanket deepened as Jian Songyi clutched it harder. And then the shadow cast due to the floor lamp trembled slightly.

Jian Songyi didn’t utter a reply. And neither did Bai Huai do so.

After a while, Jian Songyi’s shoulder blades sank slowly. With a tone calm, he spoke. “I can’t seem to smell it myself. How is it? What’s the smell? Does it smell good? It smells good, doesn’t it?”

“It smells good. It’s just like the smell of roses.”

“Huh?” The young master seemed dissatisfied. “Why are you teasing me?”

“It’s not that bad. It’s the scent of wild roses. It has that heavy woody fragrance, but not intoxicating.”

“Oh, that’s not that bad.” He replied but he didn’t turn around to face him yet. 

Nevertheless, there was no hysteria, no questions, or self-abandonment that happened. It was just a calm atmosphere where they slowly accept the fact. 

Bai Huai originally wanted to talk to Jian Songyi about what it would be like now if the answer to the report 17 years ago had been Omega. 

But the next second, he felt that he did not need to ask because he was sure that it would not affect Jian Songyi’s growth into such a dazzling teenager.

Like him, more than a decade of life has not been originally weakened by the Omega report.

He is the same person as Jian Songyi.

The gene engraved in their bones is not Omega or Alpha, but pride and strength.

After a long silence, Jian Songyi finally turned around and looked at Bai Huai, calmly and rationally: “Your pheromone belongs to the top kind Alpha, right?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“When everything is finally stabilized again. Can you put pressure pheromones on me for a while every day? I want to see if I can handle it.”

Bai Huia’s eyes widen, but he could see how determined Jian Songyi is. 

Jian Songyi was a little embarrassed. “ I know that this request is a little bit annoying, but I don’t want Alpha pheromones to affect me that much, so please do me a favor.”

If he can completely escape under Bai Huai’s pheromone oppression, then most of the pheromones won’t affect him at all.

But with this kind of training, no one will know how long will this take. They don’t even know whether it will be effective or not. Not to mention the fact that every second of this situation will be pure and utter torture. 

“It may be harder than you think.”

“I know. But, since I happen to be an Omega, what can I do? If you suffer a little, you will suffer a little, and I am not afraid of suffering. “

The tone is relaxed and playful, and it seems that challenging fate is just a game for teenagers to turn their hands into clouds.

His eyes fell into the moonlight outside the window. Bai Huai thought that the stars were bright, but probably not more than that.  The pain in his heart is aching again, but this time, with inexplicable pride. 

So what if he’s an Omega?

Jian Songyi doesn’t need heartache, sympathy, or persuasion that it will be alright in the end. 

He will only become stronger, and Bai Huai si determined to make sure that he will always be there for him, regardless of the thorny road ahead.

Bai Huai nodded: “Good.”

“Bai Huai is acting righteously now, aye?”

‘If I hadn’t acted righteously, I would have taken care of you by now.’ Bai Huai thought to himself. 

Voluptuous without knowing it, Bai Huai has to get some money back. He wanted something in return.

Bai Huai smirked a little as his eyes squinted. “If I am doing you such a huge favor then does that mean I could ask you one too in exchange?”

With a generous wave of his hand, Jian Songyi said, “Feel free to ask.”

“Should I just casually mention it?”

“Just mention it.”

“Will you keep your word?”

“What do you take me for as?”

Bai Huai looked at Jian Songyi’s straight face. He paused and then said, “Okay. But remember that you shouldn’t cheat.”

“Have you ever seen Brother Song cheat?”

“You haven’t screamed yet, Dad.”

“…..” Jian Songyi swallowed the lump in his throat. “Why are you so stingy? You always want me to call you father.”

Bai Huai is happy. The villain’s ability to move first is really powerful. “Do you still remember my father?”

As soon as Jian Songyi opened his mouth, he halted before adding: “Your Omega father.”

Jian Songyi remembers that he was a gentle and powerful man. He is also an excellent doctor. When Bai Huai was six years old, he volunteered to support the third World War and died in a bombing to protect refugees and orphans.

“Although my father is an Omega, he is also the top student in science at that time, and his medical skills are very good.”

“My father as you know, his death was used as political leverage. Even at his funeral, cameras were held. My grandfather in town was sick in the hospital while my other grandparents didn’t return from abroad. At that time, it seemed to me that I was the only one in the world who was sad about my father’s death.”

Bai Huai didn’t seem to be sad while talking about this, though. Instead, there was a hint of a smile on his face as if he is thinking of something interesting. “But at that time as well, you had a conscience and comforted me a lot.”

Jian Songyi cracked a proud grin. “I can’t help it. I’ve been a good man since I was a child.” 

“Do you remember how you comforted me?”

“…..”

“Don’t be sad, since you don’t have a father, I will be your father from now on. You can call me whatever you want. You’re welcome.”

Bai Huai said slowly, “Those were your exact words.”

‘Was he always thinking of that?’ Jian Songyi mentally questioned.

Jian Songyi tried to appear relaxed as he awkwardly smiled at him. “That… Well, what could I say? I was a righteous person back then too.”

Bai Huai nodded. “Well then, it’s just right for us to fight for righteousness right now too.”

Jian Songyi was a little embarrassed. He thinks that Bai Huai is making fun of him again. Thus, he turns over again and buries himself under the quilt. He had decided to ignore him and his statement.

It turns out that someone who is usually reticent is full of bullshit today: “My father likes you very much. He says you are the smartest kid he has ever seen. I quite believe what my dad says, so can you be a better Omega than him? “

It’s not only a lot of bullshit, but it’s also kind of sweet.

Jian Songyi rubbed his nose loosely.

“Otherwise, I will appear to be a bully.” Bai Huai added.

‘Sweet, my ass.” Jian Songyi scoffed to himself. 

“Bai Huai, you fucking…” 

Before he could even finish scolding Bai Huai, a strange feeling suddenly spread from his neck, instantly sweeping his body with a shudder.

The discomfort that needs to be soothed by Alpha pheromones is back.

Jian Songyi gritted his teeth and said, “Bai Huai, can you come over here and let me smell you?” His voice became softer and softer as his body feel like trembling.

And just like that, he continued to brace the momentum.
