Ch49 - That’s  Too Terrifying!

When he heard Xie Yu say this, Yan Qiu was stunned for a long time.
“I… don’t think so,” Yan Qiu said tentatively, “Why would you say that?”
Xie Yu might look as if he wasn’t exactly quick-witted, but his instincts were very sharp, and he looked like one of those people who appeared to be dumb but were actually very smart.
Yan Qiu stared at him nervously. He did not know if Xie Yu had managed to discover something. He really could not imagine why Ji Xinglan would do those things to him if he had really known who he was a long time ago.
As he thought about this, Yan Qiu felt his skin crawl and could not help but shudder.
“It’s just a feeling. If he really doesn’t know, why would he show mercy to me? Alphas are very possessive. He already bit you, so for a short period of time, his possessive tendencies will become even stronger. When he saw me wanting to fight against him, his first reaction would definitely be that I wanted to snatch you away from him. There’s no alpha who will show mercy to his rival in love. Could it really be that he just looks down on me that much?”
Xie Yu scratched his head with a slightly confused look in his eyes.
He could not bring out concrete proof even if someone asked him to do it, anyway.
But he just felt that something was off. As for what was off? Ji Xinglan’s attitude to him and Yan Qiu itself was off.
“Has he ever asked you about your pheromones?” Xie Yu suddenly thought about this.
“He never mentioned it.” Yan Qiu shook his head resolutely.
Based on what Xie Yu said, his scent was different from the original owner of this body. The original owner smelled like jasmines, while Yan Qiu smelled like mandarin oranges, but Ji Xinglan had never mentioned the problem of his pheromones changing. If he did smell it, he would, at the very least, find it strange.
“It might be because Xiao Qiu often uses perfume. Even if we’re an entire corridor apart, the smell still makes me faint,” Xie Yu said with a frown. When he remembered it, he felt his nose itching and could not help but reach out to rub it. “Ji Xinglan must be thinking that you switched to a new perfume.”
Yan Qiu’s eyes darkened a little. He did not say anything, but clearly, he did not agree with Xie Yu’s guess.
…After all, he had bathed together with Ji Xinglan before. But Yan Qiu always found it too embarrassing to talk about this with Xie Yu.
He thought about it carefully and felt that there were a lot of things that were strange about their entire affair, but without concrete evidence, his guesses were still just guesses.
The most important question was this. How did Ji Xinglan know it was him? Ji Xinglan did not know the scent of his pheromones.
Ji Xinglan did not know his scent…?
Yan Qiu suddenly widened his eyes.
Oh, shoot! Ji Xinglan might actually know his scent!
He remembered the dream where their tongues were intertwined and how their pheromones had mingled with each other. His heart clenched.
Meanwhile, Xie Yu did not notice the strange look on his face. He just crouched down on the ground and grumbled, “But when I think about it, it’s still weird. It’s impossible for him to have never smelled Xiao Qiu’s pheromones before…”

But Yan Qiu just shook his head to show that he was fine. He did not dare tell Xie Yu about that dream.
Both of them left the roof silently and returned to their classrooms. Before he entered through the door, Xie Yu suddenly remembered something and took out two tickets for the art exhibition from his pocket before he handed them to Yan Qiu. “For you.”
“You aren’t going anymore?” Yan Qiu knew that Xie Yu wanted to go and look at the art exhibition so he did not take the tickets.
But Xie Yu just touched his nose and said, “Forget it. If I go and look at those paintings with you, Ji Xinglan is going to kill me. It’s better if you go with him.”
Yan Qiu looked at the two tickets hesitantly. Honestly, the exhibition ended yesterday, but Yan Qiu still took it and thanked Xie Yu.
He watched Xie Yu return to his seat after he went through the backdoor. But Yan Qiu remained standing outside because he saw a familiar back nearby.
Perhaps it was because he noticed his gaze, but Ji Xinglan turned around to look at him as well. Yan Qiu released his hold over the doorframe and quietly went back to his seat.
He discreetly looked out the corner of his eyes to size up the person beside him, but Ji Xinglan did not react.
When he remembered all that had transpired, Yan Qiu did not feel at ease.
He had to find a chance to test him. If he died from this, at least, he should die after he got all his answers.
On the other hand, Ji Xinglan was unable to remain indifferent for long. He turned around and cast a glance at the collar on Yan Qiu’s neck before he started stuffing the things on the desk into his bag.
“Come, let’s go home.”
“What’s wrong?” When Yan Qiu saw him suddenly grab his bag, he quickly reached out to push his hand down.
It was now noon. Why would they need to go back home? Did Ji Xinglan really intend to go home and teach him a lesson?
“Your wound opened.” Ji Xinglan picked up his bag as well in a persistent manner. “I already asked for leave from the teacher. Let’s go.”
“The wound just opened. I’ll be fine after putting gauze over it.” Yan Qiu felt like he was just causing a fuss, so he rejected it.
“What do you mean, the wound just opened?” Ji Xinglan said, “Since the wound over your scent gland opened, your pheromones are about to leak out.”
As he spoke, he used the back of his hand to touch his nose with a stiff expression.
He looked as if he was holding back, and Yan Qiu instantly understood. Ji Xinglan might have already been affected by his pheromones while he was in the bathroom just now, and he was in need to deal with the situation as soon as possible.
After the incident in the bar, Ji Xinglan specifically gave him a new collar that would tell him the density of his pheromones so that Yan Qiu could take note of how dense his pheromones were at all times. Of course, Ji Xinglan was still the only one who could open the collar with his fingerprint, and he was still as domineering as ever.
Yan Qiu cast a glance at the density of his pheromones shown on his collar. It was almost red now.
‘Alright.’
He packed up his things and was prepared to leave with Ji Xinglan. Then, he sensed a gaze being fixed on him among all the people doing their exercises with their heads down in the classroom.
Yan Qiu turned his head around to nod at Xie Yu and mouthed these words to him. ‘I’m fine.’
When they left, they were just in time to run into Sun Mang walking toward them. Ji Xinglan must have already applied for leave from her because Sun Mang said nothing. She just said a few words to show her concern before allowing them to leave.
In the teacher’s eyes, they were a pair of cousins with a very good relationship.
Right after they were out of Sun Mang’s sight, Yan Qiu immediately pulled Ji Xinglan’s hand off his shoulder. Why was he pretending to be a good brother? It made goosebumps break all over his skin.
He suffered a loss out of the blue and even became his younger brother? Yan Qiu refused to accept it.
But when they were about to walk out of the school gate, Yan Qiu saw the guard. He gasped in his heart, and he quickly hid behind Ji Xinglan.
Yan Qiu was listed as the most wanted criminal in the whole school because he stole the headmaster’s takeout, and if he were caught, he would be sent to the headmaster’s office.
Ji Xinglan did not know about the things he and Xie Yu did, so he calmly brought out the written request for leave and handed it to the guard for him to register it.
But when they were registering themselves, Yan Qiu took out a napkin from his pocket and quickly spread it out to cover his nose. He pretended as if he was wiping off snot.
The guard cast him a glance but he could not recognize Yan Qiu, who had the napkin covering his face. At least he did believe that they were taking sick leave.
After they got out, Yan Qiu felt like he had begun sweating. He unzipped his jacket. The wind outside was quite strong, so when it blew into his uniform, he felt good.
But this pleasure only lasted for a few seconds before Ji Xinglan ordered him sternly, “Zip up your jacket.”
He looked like a good brother who was being responsible and was worried that he would catch a cold.
“I won’t.” Yan Qiu grabbed the flaps of his opened jacket and even fanned himself a little to increase the force of the wind. “I feel better this way.”
But he did not manage to feel that pleasure for long, because Ji Xinglan had already drawn close to Yan Qiu and personally helped him to zip up the jacket. He moved his face away and whispered into his ear, “Be good. Zip up your jacket. You’ll feel even better later.”
Red rose to his ears, and Yan Qiu pushed him. “Good… Good, my foot!”
Fortunately, there were not a lot of people on the road during the afternoon, so no one saw them acting suspiciously.
When they reached the parking lot, Yan Qiu felt that he had long since lost feeling to the wound on his neck. After all that fuss, his wound had already healed.
He looked down at the pheromone density index on his collar. Just as he expected, it was already nearly normal.
Yan Qiu started causing a ruckus. “I told you that I didn’t need to take leave. Look, my wound is already scabbing.”
When he heard this, Ji Xinglan suddenly stopped opening the door. He turned his head around and looked at Yan Qiu, then grabbed his wrist.
“Let me see.” Ji Xinglan intentionally grabbed his shirt collar and looked down at Yan Qiu, so Yan Qiu lowered his head to let him look at his scent gland. He was not on guard in the slightest
Ji Xinglan could not help but lick his lips. He grabbed Yan Qiu and yanked him forward. “Do you really not know what it means when an omega lets an alpha see his or her scent gland?
Yan Qiu was stunned. He was still maintaining his action of letting Ji Xinglan see his nape, but his action of tugging open his shirt collar stopped.
To an omega, scent glands were really private parts, and inviting an alpha to look at their scent gland held a very clear invitation for sex.
Yan Qiu had ignorantly performed this action, and in the eyes of other people, he looked pure but seductive. It was the one action that was easiest to stir up lust in other people.
That person’s voice crept into his ears from behind him. The breathing on his nape fluttered, and he wrapped his arms around Yan Qiu.
His scent gland was torn, and his pheromones spilled out. Ji Xinglan had long since been stirred up by his pheromone-laced blood, and his throat was burning and dry. He needed something to quench his thirst.
Yan Qiu was shoved against the door. Then, Ji Xinglan opened the door and shoved him eagerly into the car.
Yan Qiu fell on the backseat. As he looked at the person on top of him, he felt that the density of his pheromones was about to go way over the top.
In truth, while they were in the classroom, Yan Qiu had already noticed that he had a reaction, but Ji Xinglan looked calm.
However, that calmness was just a facade. When there was no one around, his true desires were revealed.
When Yan Qiu was in his estrus period, the alphas who were compatible with him would react. But Ji Xinglan had been considerate of his feelings and controlled himself far too well, which was why Yan Qiu had never noticed his needs.
For a period of time, Yan Qiu panicked.
‘No way! Could you go back before you lost your control? I don’t want to have sex in the car!’
Yan Qiu was yanked up and knelt on the backseat while trembling. He could hear the sound of a belt being unbuckled behind him.
‘Damn it, Ji Xinglan! You were lying when you said you’re worried about my pheromones spilling out! You’re the one who can’t control yourself!’
But no matter what, the car was still much better than the bathroom.
Ji Xinglan seemed to have sensed his nervousness. He touched Yan Qiu’s cheek, and his voice was a little hoarse.
“Don’t be scared.” He held Yan Qiu’s hand. “I won’t touch you. Just help me a little.”
The airtight car was filled with the scent of pheromones, and for some reason, Yan Qiu nodded.
One hour later, Yan Qiu laid against the backseat limply. He kept gasping.
He glared at Ji Xinglan in slight resentment. His wrist hurt so much that he felt like it was about to explode. Why did he last for so long?! It was too terrifying!
Ji Xinglan wore his pants and shamelessly grabbed Yan Qiu’s still burning hand. He kissed the back of the hand and smoothed his fringe, fully satiated. Then, he lowered his head and kissed him.
“Can we just go on like this in the future?” He tried to coax Yan Qiu to agree to it.
‘…As if.’ Yan Qiu stayed in his arms and rolled his eyes, but he did not reject him.
