‘How can this person be so cute?’ Bai Huai thought to himself.

“Didn’t you just ask me to put away the pheromone?”

Jian Songyi said nothing with a straight face, which was really uncomfortable. He is too embarrassed to say it out loud for the second time. 

Bai Huai smiles to himself and holds out his hand for him. “Here, you smell.”

His hand is beautiful. It’s fair and smooth. He could lay his head against it, and he’d still feel comfortable. Not to mention its bony structure. There is a kind of bone faintly visible under the skin of the blood vessels, soothing pheromones emanate from the blood little by little.

Jian Songyi sharpened his tiger teeth as he had the urge to take a bite of it.

But he felt like he should restrain himself. Jian Songyi needs to look reserved and aloof. He had already embarrassed himself way too much. Pretending to be disgusted, he took Bai Huai’s wrist and smelled it down. 

Like an antidote, but more like some kind of chronic poison, this will only temporarily relieve the pain. But eventually, this will only make Jian Songyi crave that scent even more as this progresses. When the time comes, one sniff won’t be enough. He would get greedy and want it all for himself. 

After several sniffles and a little relaxation, Jian Songyi slowly loosened Bai Huai’s wrist and lazily retracted back under the blanket. But instead of thanking Bai Huai, he proudly said, “Get on your knees and receive the reward.”

He didn’t realize how ambiguous he sounded like just now. 

Bai Huai felt that it is necessary to teach Jian Songyi some safety knowledge regarding being an Omega. He seems to have no idea about the proper physical hygiene of his class. 

He withdrew his feverish wrist and turned it a little. “Are you aware of what bonding heat means?”

Jian Songyi’s face flushed red. 

Bai Huai nodded. “You seem to know.”

Unexpectedly, this person is still very thin-skinned in this respect, and it seems that they should pay attention to discretion in the future.

He thought so, but continued to be serious: “Do you know what it means to smell my pheromones when you feel sick?”

Jian Songyi: “…..”

‘It means you have something on me.’ 

“It means that our pheromones have a high degree of compatibility. At least more than 90% and are the right people to be partners.”

“Who wants to be your partner? Wait a minute… ” Jian Songyi paused suddenly. “So you’re saying I should partner up with an Alpha now?!”

Bai Huai clearly saw from his expression that this is the only time he considered that setup. His tone revealed how hard it hit him.

Bai Huai felt that he was wrong and that the test report was not without influence. At least if the result was Omega, Jian Songyi would not become such a pure straight A.

Garbage institutions should be banned long ago.

Ignoring Jian Songyi’s expression of skepticism, he loosened the collar of his shirt.  “Within a month after differentiation, there will be the first time you’ll be experiencing heat. The time and intensity will vary according to the Omega’s physique, so you need to carry enough inhibitors at any time during this month of the rainy season. Do you understand?”

Jian Songyi had finally recovered from the bad news that he was going to marry an Alpha in the future. But then, he must hear another piece of bad news today. It’s starting to tire him out even more. “Why is being an Omega so troublesome? It is better not to be differentiated at all. It would be better to be a Beta too.”

“Instead of thinking about the collapse mentality that some people don’t have, it’s better to get some sleep and accept the facts.”

“Then why don’t you try to be an Omega? Let’s see if your state of mind won’t collapse.” Jian Songyi replied, but for the sake of Bai Huai’s hard work of taking him here and staying, he didn’t argue further. Instead, he displayed a little bit of concern. “If I sleep, what about you?”

“As your temporary guardian angel, Vigil, I will be here.” Bai Huai stretched both of his arms upwards like he wants to be stationed on the frontier. 

“It’s not necessary. There’s a class tomorrow.”

“Grandpa will ask our school leave for us. Aunt Tang will also be coming here tonight. I guess, she’ll be here when you wake up so it’ll all be alright. Don’t worry.”

The tone is quite indifferent, but the faint porcelain blue under the eyes can not deceive people. Bai Huai’s grandmother is half European, and his hair color is lighter than that of ordinary people, so it is particularly obvious that he has dark circles under his eyes.

Jian Songyi felt very sorry for himself. “Just this time. Thank you.” 

“No problem at all.” Bai Huai then smirked a little.”After all, who told you to call me Brother Huai?”

“Huh?!”

Looking at Jian Songyi’s suddenly wide-open eyes, Bai Huai was finally satisfied and estimated that the discomfort on him should have passed. He doesn’t need to tease him anymore just for him to be distracted. 

He smiles softer than before. “Go to sleep. If you really feel bad, then be generous and don’t be angry with me, okay? I’m a dumb person. I’m not very good at coaxing.”

Who needs his coaxing?

Jian Songyi lets out a sigh of relief and murmur of dissatisfaction about how he could not bear the tiredness and fatigue of his body. Thus, he immediately fell into sleep as soon as he laid down comfortably.

The fragrance of roses in the room suddenly gets thicker and thicker until there is nowhere to hide anymore. 

After watching Jian Songyi fall asleep, Bai Huai stood up and went to the bathroom. He locked the door and unbuttoned his shirt all the way to expose his chest. He then propped his hands against the sink to lean over and took deep breaths to compose himself. 

The radius on the back of his hand is visible while his knuckles turn white and his veins are vaguely protruding.

For a while, he scooped a handful of cold water and patted it on his face. 

The human body is simple and honest. Whenever he gets too close to Jian Songyi, he smells his pheromones. Because every cell of his body starts clamoring to mark him, occupy him, and eventually plunder him. 

Unfortunately, the initiator is still naive and ignorant of what he s doing to him. 

Bai Huai looked at his reflection in the mirror. It shows his indifferent pale face that is dripping with water. Restraint is written from the corners of his eyes. 

He is an Omega. An Omega of high degree.

To get along day and night would be so hard. What more spend the next year with him?

He smiled wryly. ‘How can this person be so cute?’ Bai Huai thought to himself.

“Didn’t you just ask me to put away the pheromone?”

Jian Songyi said nothing with a straight face, which was really uncomfortable. He is too embarrassed to say it out loud for the second time.

He is an Omega. An Omega of high degree.

To get along day and night would be so hard. What more spend the next year with him?

He smiled wryly. Back to the hospital bed, Bai Huai placed his hand on top of Jian Songyi’s gland as he continues releasing pheromones unconsciously. Bai Huai could only furrow his brows in concentration.

Jian Songyi laid all of his guards down due to drowsiness. By instinct, Jian Songyi rubbed his cheek against his palm innocent. Bai Huai almost chokes on his own saliva. 

He reminded himself to be a human being.

…..

When Jian Songyi woke up the next day, the sun has already risen. 

Through the hospital white gauze curtain, the rippling circle of the warm sunlight sprinkled the room. 

The room is full of savage rose scents.

As Bai Huai said, it is not the kind of sweet rose in the greenhouse, but like the wild rose growing in the desert, on the cliff, and in the barren grass.

It smells a little wild as if you can see thorns.

It’s not very domineering, but it’s savory.

After the differentiation, the relaxed Jian Songyi stretched himself out. 

Bai Huai came out of the bathroom with wet hair: “Awake?”

‘My voice is slightly hoarse. I don’t think I had a good rest.’ Is what Jian Songyi wanted to say, but he suddenly couldn’t find his voice as soon as he was welcomed with such scenery.

Several buttons of his shirt were still undone enough to expose his long neck and Adam’s apple. Then there’s water dripping from his hair just to fall down his collarbone. Jian Songyi knows that he should not care, but Bai Huai looks more than promising. 

The gene of Alpha is really enviable.

Bai Huai wiped his hair with a towel in one hand and threw a bottle of blockers to Jian Songyi with the other: “Spray it.”

Tasteless barrier.

Fortunately, there is no strange smell.

Jian Songyi shook the bottle loosely and sprayed it all over himself. 

Bai Huai leaned against the window as he fiddled with his hair. “Except for special periods, Omega can usually put away its pheromones and don’t make waves everywhere.”

“Who’s making waves?”

Jian Songyi sprayed the bottle around him and himself again. The air was clean and the smell of cedar and rose was gone. He looked down at the bottle with the image full of birds in his hand with satisfaction.

“It’s pretty easy to use.”

“It is a new product developed in Northern Europe. It is currently known to have the best effect, and you can’t smell it even if you’re a person or a ghost.”

Jian Songyi took it easy for a moment, thinking silently.

After a while, he realized: “The hospital is selling such high-end blockers now?”

“It is not from the hospital.”

“Hey.” Jian Songyi looked at Bai Huai with a slightly strange look. “What kind of Alpha are you hiding Omega blockers?”

What kind of image is he in this person’s heart? 

Bai Huai laughed amusedly: “Your mother-” 

“Why are you still cursing?”

“I’m not swearing. I mean this bottle of barrier belongs to your mother, Mrs. Tang.”

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Jian Songyi to get ready, the ward door was pushed open to reveal a noble and beautiful lady. She was quick to rush over to the side of the hospital bed and hold unto Jian Songyi. Her tears suddenly burst out as she hold him in her arms. 

“My son, my poor son, why is your life so bitter?!”

Jian Songyi: “…..”

If he remembers correctly, he had only differentiated and is not terminally ill.

He awkwardly raised his hand and patted Mrs. Tang on the back. “Mom, I am fine. Don’t Cry. Your eye cream is very expensive.”

“My eye cream is nothing compared to my son. Woo. Woo.”

Jian Songyi comforted her patiently. “I’m alright. It’s nothing” He said in a much softer tone. 

“What do you mean nothing? How come it’s alright?” Mrs. Tang straightened her blouse and then proceeded into crying again. “You’ve become an Omega. Can you still call it alright?”

Jian Songyi smiles weakly. “I can see that you value being an Alpha more than Omega, but this kind of feudal thinking is not good.”

Mrs. Tang knew that her son must be upset and now he had to be patient to coax her to be happy. She feels like an idiot. 

Wiping away her tears while suppressing her sadness, she holds Jian Songying’s hand. “It’s alright, son. Although it won’t be easy for you to marry like this, your father has money and we can support you for a lifetime. Don’t worry. Don’t burden yourself with it.”

Jian Songyi: “…..”

Mrs. Tang became more and more aggressive when she continued speaking: “Blame me. For real. This is all my fault. At that time, the organization said that the genetic test was 100% accurate, and I believed it. I raised you as an Alpha when you were a child and became more relentless when Bai Huai differentiated into one. This is all my fault which reduced you to what you are today.”

Jian Songyi: “…..” 

‘What I’ve been reduced to.’ He thought sadly.

“Look at you. You’re tall with a bad temper. And don’t forget the abs!” She said as she touches Jian Songyi’s waist and sighed. “It’s hard. It’s not soft at all. Which family will be blind not to take you? You have the heart and the brains. Any Alpha would fancy to be with you.” 

Bai Huai: “…..”

Jian Songyi: “…..”

Mrs. Tang is very sad. Jian Songyi could tell so he just continued to comfort her. “Mom, it’s alright. I don’t like any Alpha anyway, and I actually prefer Omegas a lot more.”

“What’s the use? An O-O relationship? What are you going to do with each other? You look at him, he looks at you, and then you’ll cook eggs together?”

Jian Songyi: “…..”

Bai Huai thinks that Mrs. Tang is simply brilliant and insightful.

Mrs. Tang resigned with a sigh: “Oh, forget it. I really can’t. When you inherit the family business, we’ll buy, oh no, choose some Alpha with good conditions and poor family. In this way, you will not be bullied, and the child can still take your last name. If we can’t do one, we’ll find two or three. There are always obedient and honest people. “

Jian Songyi: “…..”

That’s very thoughtful…

Bai Huai thinks Mrs. Tang’s idea is a little dangerous. 

He cleared his throat lightly. “Auntie, Jian Songyi is only seventeen years old. It’s too early to decide and plan what will happen to his future.”

Realizing that Bai Huai was still there, Mrs. Tang tried to even out her mood. “You’re right. It’s still too early. Take your time, Jian Songyi. But what if the blind cat meets a dead mouse?”

She sighed again: “To tell you the truth, when the test results came out, your father and I thought about setting a baby marriage. But then, you later became an Alpha so I lost the idea. Now that Little Songyi has become an Omega, I’m thinking of shoving Little Songyi to you with a clear conscience.”

Bai Huai’s heart moved a little. 

“But you can’t.” Mrs. Tang moved with true feelings, looking at Bai Huai with tears in her eyes, “I grew up watching you, how can I push you into the fire? How can I live with my conscience if I really give you my little Songyi? How can your father feel at ease in his grave? You are a good boy, I can’t let my selfishness harm you!”

Bai Huai: “…..”

Jian Songyi: “…..”

……….
