He dreamed of Ji Xinglan again, when he had first seen him. But this time, Yan Qiu wasnât the one who kissed Ji Xinglan in the dream. It was Ji Xinglan who held him and slowly dipped him as he gently kissed him, as if they were lovers.
Gradually, the narrow and dark alley around them disappeared. They broke out of the restraints of society and held each otherâs hands in public. They slowly walked out of a place that would never see light.
Yan Qiu swiftly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a white light hanging on the ceiling. It was so bright that it dazzled him a little.
He shut his eyes for a moment because the light was shining into his eyes. Once he was slightly accustomed, he slowly opened his eyes to size up the area.
It was a room that wasnât too large, and the faint smell of alcohol as well as disinfectant filled the room. It only had one door and window.
Yan Qiu was not unfamiliar with this place. It was the rest area behind the medical office. Last time, when he injured his foot while he played basketball, he skipped class so that he could lay here for an entire afternoon.
Yan Qiu moved his slightly numb right arm. He tried to sit up, but he felt something tug back. It was only then that he noticed that he had an IV in his arm.
It was dusk, so it was rather dark outside. The glass bottle and the liquid in the inside shone under the white light. Only a little dextrose remained in the bottle.
Perhaps it was because he had died once, but Yan Qiu was exceptionally terrified of falling unconscious and losing all feeling of his surroundings. A chill crawled down his spine, and he felt ill at ease.
After he woke up and opened his eyes, he felt anxious. His heart was restless. He felt a tight in his chest, and his heart was racing so quickly that it was abnormal.
Looking up, Yan Qiu thought about surveying the room to see whether there was any doctor he could go to for help, and it was at that moment that he saw Ji Xinglan sitting by the window.
The blond teenagerâs figure was reflected on the white window frame. Outside the window was a patch of lush, green trees. Above it was the setting sun burning red and hot. The remaining light from the setting sun and the golden horizon fused together, and the clouds in the sky were layered, causing them to become dyed in a dark golden hue.
When this scene was coupled with the handsome alpha youth who sat quietly by the bed, it turned into the scene of an oil painting, bright with colors.
The moment he saw Ji Xinglan, Yan Qiuâs heart, which had been beating with unrest, suddenly calmed. It was as if he had fallen into a patch of cotton in the end, and there was currently something warm and gentle enveloping his heart.
Ji Xinglan had been leaning against a chair while playing with his terminal. When he saw that Yan Qiu had awoken, he frowned a little and stood up.
Ji Xinglanâs complexion wasnât very good. Suddenly, Yan Qiu remembered that he heard someone calling his name before he fainted.
That voice was very clear, and it felt real. Even if Yan Qiuâs mind was already blurry during the final moment, he could still be certain that his mind was not playing tricks with him.
Someone did call him.
Once Ji Xinglan reached his bed and sat down by the side, Yan Qiu became a little panicked all of a sudden. Instinctively, he fisted the sheets tightly.
âŚWho was it who called his name?
It was definitely not Xie Yu. Xie Yu was injured, and he was not in the area.
Weâre sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so weâre going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Yan Qiu opened his eyes. Ji Xinglan was still sitting at the side of the bed. Although this person had the highest possibility of being the one who had called him, if he really had, nothing made sense.

He⌠hated Yan Qiu so much.
Yan Qiu lowered his head uneasily, and he clenched the sheets tighter. No matter what, he didnât wish for Ji Xinglan to recognize him.
He didnât have the courage to say that he was reluctant to part with the affection he displayed. He could only say that he didnât want this rare peace to be brutally broken.
In truth, Yan Qiu had just thought that he had conclusive evidence, but now, he dared not say that he really heard someone call him.
Perhaps it was just an illusion. At that time, his mind was already blurry.
As Ji Xinglan sat at the side of the bed, he stared at Yan Qiu for a while. Then, he suddenly reached out and hugged him out of the blue.
He didnât know whether his eyes were deceiving him, but at that moment, Yan Qiu felt that he saw panic and sadness in Ji Xinglanâs eyes. He had never seen those emotions on that personâs face before. He felt like Ji Xinglan would never know fear.
Yan Qiu was stunned.
Why did⌠Ji Xinglan look like he was very concerned about him?
Ji Xinglan held him tightly In fact, he hugged him far tighter than any other time. It seemed like he wanted to push him into his body. At that moment, he wanted nothing else but to simply hug Yan Qiu.
All of Yan Qiuâs thoughts disappeared when Ji Xinglanâs scent and alpha pheromones surrounded him. The only thing he knew was to greedily smell Ji Xinglanâs pheromones and the sense of safety they gave him. He merely breathed in satisfaction.
When Ji Xinglan finally raised his head, Yan Qiu noticed that his eyes were a little red.
Ji Xinglan had panicked for a long time. He had originally been angry, but when he looked into Yan Qiuâs eyes, all his words eventually died away. He didnât scold Yan Qiu, but only peppered kisses nonstop on Yan Qiuâs lips, as if he wanted to gobble him up.
âHow could you be so reckless?â That person held Yan Qiuâs chin and observed his face, as if he wanted to make sure that he was truly fine. âWhy didnât you ask me to go? I could have run those two kilometers.â
âYou had something to do at that timeâŚâ Yan Qiu defended himself weakly.
But Ji Xinglan didnât listen to him. Yan Qiu felt his lips quiver. âYou scared me.â
In that instant, Yan Qiu felt a little apologetic. He said softly, âIâm fine. I just fainted a little. I wasnât injured.â
Ji Xinglan seemed to be relieved, and he pressed his lips over Yan Qiuâs firmly.
âDid you send me here?â
Yan Qiu held him in his arms and asked tentatively.
Ji Xinglan failed to answer. He just hugged Yan Qiu and buried his face in the crook of his neck. He tightened his arms around Yan Qiu, as if he wanted to hug him forever.
When the nurse pushed the door open to come in, she saw the two people hugging each other on the bed, and she immediately covered her eyes so as to hide this indecent sight.
Yan Qiu immediately pushed Ji Xinglan away. Then, he met gazes with Xie Yu, who stood behind the nurse and had an even more twisted expression than the nurse.
It was then that Ji Xinglan finally released Yan Qiu slowly as he also cast a displeased gaze at Xie Yu.
When Xie Yu saw this, he was instantly stunned.
âWhat the heck? I knew it! That bastard Ji Xinglan fancies my boss!â
With all his strength, he used his injured leg to limp to the bed. Then, he used his crutch to point at Ji Xinglan and shouted, âJi Xinglan, you bastard! YouâŚ! What are you doing in broad daylight?! Do you have any sense of shame?!â
Ji Xinglan held Yan Qiuâs wrist and didnât let go. He slid his hand down in a provocative manner and hugged Yan Qiu. âAnd can you control me now?â
Xie Yu widened his eyes. He was so angry that his lips quivered, but he didnât know to whom he should complain, because Yan Qiu looked like he had been bewitched.
The bastard had already done this, but his boss didnât even react!
Aside from having his ears turn red, Yan Qiu really didnât give any other reaction.
This caused Xie Yu to feel confused. He looked at Ji Xinglan, and a very terrifying thought appeared in his mind.
âDid that bastard do something to his boss while his boss was still unconscious?!
âAnd the boss even looks rather willing to let him do this!â
Xie Yuâs face alternated between shades of red and white, and Ji Xinglanâs gaze on Xie Yu was rather fierce. âWhat are you doing?â
As both of them looked as if they were about to start fighting, Yan Qiuâs heart leapt to his throat.
This was the first time Ji Xinglan and Xie Yu had come face to face in conflict. Yan Qiu would rather die than let the cat out of the bag.
âMiss Sun asked me to visit Yan Qiu.â Xie Yu hadnât come here to deliberately argue with Ji Xinglan. He didnât have the time to bother about him. So, he turned around and asked Yan Qiu. âBoâAhem, Xiao Qiu, buddy, are you okay?â
Ji Xinglan looked at this good-for-nothing who Yan Qiu was cheating with. Not only had he asked Yan Qiu to ask him to run for him, after he ran, he even put up a farce to show concern to Yan Qiu in front of Ji Xinglan. He immediately became angry.
Before Xie Yu could finish speaking, Ji Xinglan tugged Yan Qiu into his arms. Then, he lowered his head to kiss Yan Qiuâs temple to declare that Yan Qiu belonged completely to him.
âAre you done with your visitation? If you are, then leave.â Ji Xinglan looked up and cast an indifferent glance at Xie Yu.
Yan Qiu didnât dare move. He truly did not dare to move. He was worried that if he fought back and caused Ji Xinglan to really be angry, then Ji Xinglan wouldnât stop with a simple kiss to the forehead.
The nurse sensed that the atmosphere was clearly off between the trio, and she immediately guessed that these two alphas were fighting over the omega.
Her gaze moved back and forth between the two. When she sensed that Ji Xinglan was clearly the one who was not easy to deal with, so she wisely chose to persuade the limp one to leave.
âThank you, Iâm fine.â Yan Qiu really wanted them to end their fight soon, so he braced himself and said, âGo back first. Iâll be fine with Ji Xinglan taking care of me.â
Xie Yuâs lips moved. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Yan Qiu repeatedly sending him signals, he gave up, but he looked as if he had been wronged. While he was on his way out, he kept looking back repeatedly, so much that his mouth could be turned into memes.
His boss was snatched away by a rascal!
The nurse came forward to check Yan Qiuâs IV drip. Once all the dextrose was gone, she helped him remove the needle and placed a cotton ball to stop the bleeding.
âYouâre fine now. You just had low blood sugar.â She covered her mouth and smiled. âWhen this student brought you over in his arms, he was really nervous. I was shocked at that time, thinking that something major had happened.â
Yan Qiu looked at Ji Xinglan in shock, but Ji Xinglan currently had no emotion on his face.
When they came out of the medical office, it was already dark outside. Ji Xinglan lowered his head and looked at Yan Qiu. âCanât you just be a little more obedient? Should I get a rope and bind you to my side?â
Yan Qiu felt so guilty that he hardly dared to look at him. Ji Xinglan was currently holding his hand, a hand that was dry but warm.
âYou donât have a healthy body. I wonât argue about this with you today, but if something comes up next time, you must tell me. I am your alpha. Canât you rely on me a little more?â
âWhoâs the one who said youâre my alpha?â Yan Qiu grumbled softly. His cheeks were a little warm.
Ji Xinglan opened the car door. When he brought Yan Qiu into the car, he felt that he was so thin that he could hold his waist with just one hand.
âYouâre too thin. What do you want to eat? Iâll go with you.â
Yan Qiu didnât have an appetite today. Hence, Ji Xinglan went back home and made red bean porridge for him. He even decided to go the extra mile and added two spoonfuls of sugar into the porridge.
Fortunately, Yan Qiu always did like sweet things, so he shoved mouthfuls of porridge into his mouth until he finished the bowl of sweet porridge.
Ji Xinglan put away the kitchen utensils and wiped his mouth. Then, he reached out and covered him with a blanket.
âIf youâre tired, go to sleep.â
It was already dark outside. Once they turned off the lights, the only source of light was the streetlights shining inside. Yan Qiu suddenly had a thought. He tugged at Ji Xinglanâs sleeve and nuzzled into his embrace.
Ji Xinglanâs gaze became tender. He touched Yan Qiuâs neck gently and whispered, âRemember this. Youâre pregnant. Donât do something so dangerous in the future. In fact, next time, you donât need to do anything in the future. Let me do it.â
âAnything at all?â Yan Qiuâs eyes turned bright.
âYes.â Ji Xinglan thought that Yan Qiu wanted him.
âThen, give birth to the child,â Yan Qiu blinked and said shamelessly.
âIf I can, Iâd want to help you too. I canât bear with the thought of you suffering.â Ji Xinglan smiled. He raised his hand and smoothed out Yan Qiuâs fringe. âBut Iâm an alpha, so Iâll have to trouble you with giving birth to my child.â
âTsk. Whatâs the point of having you around, then?â Yan Qiu pouted. âThen, bring the kitten to me.â
ââŚWhy is he in such a hurry to play with the kitten when he comes home?â
Ji Xinglan thought that Yan Qiu wouldnât have the energy to play with kittens today, but Yan Qiu shamelessly asked him to bring the kitten over, so Ji Xinglan could only endure the pain in his heart as he brought the kitten over.
When he saw the kitten strutting over to occupy Yan Qiuâs embrace. Ji Xinglan grit his teeth in anger.
âSooner or later, both you and the kitten are mine.â
Mogumoguchan: So how many chapters is it going to take before Yan Qiu realizes his guess about Ji Xinglan knowing who he is is correct?
Neirith: Remember guys, donât take medical advice from a novel. Low blood sugar is actually very dangerous and can be fatal.
