Ch48 - Killing the No-Good by Revealing His Scheme

Editor: DarkSapphire, Sahloknir

6:32 a.m.

The morning rays peeked from the edge of the curtain and fell on a dazzling white outline. There were disjointed noises outside as a new day began again. Yue Ran checked the time on his phone, and quietly lumped himself into a ball until his roommates woke up one after another. Then he finally got up and did his morning routine with them.

[He happened to receive a WeChat from Jiang Xiao: Eat breakfast with you?]

[Yue Ran: No.]

[Jiang Xiao: What about lunch?]

[Yue Ran: No.]

[Jiang Xiao: Dinner?]

[Yue Ran: No.]

[Jiang Xiao: Darling, are you in a bad mood?]

Yue Ran subconsciously played with his phone case. This time, he replied with more than one word: [I’m not.]

[Jiang Xiao: You’re definitely in a bad mood. Who caused it?]

[Yue Ran: I said I’m not.]

[Jiang Xiao: If you’re not in a bad mood, you would have focused the majority of your attention on ‘Darling’. You would have told me not to call you that after your ‘No’.]

Yue Ran was simply at a loss for words.

This disaster knew him too well, with countless ideas and shamelessness on top of it. He was completely outmatched.

[He could only reply: I’ll eat dinner with you.]

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and didn’t push the topic.

Although he wanted to know the reason for Yue Yue’s unhappiness, he also knew that each other should have personal space, and Yue Yue refused to talk about it, so he had no choice but to let him go—of course, if his little soul master didn’t relieve himself at night, he would have to ask asked.

Although he wanted to know the reason ‌Yue Ran was unhappy, he knew that there needed to be a personal space between them. If Yue Ran refused to say, he could only comply—of course, if his little summoner was still in a bad mood by tonight, he would ask.

On the other end, Yue Ran put away his phone and went to the canteen with Lin Qian.

The companion roommate ran to the window seat as soon as he entered the cafeteria, because his boyfriend was waiting for him. The two of them didn’t kiss enough last night, and today they met again with another good morning kiss, which was extremely sweet.

As soon as the roommate with a partner entered the canteen, he ran to the window seat because his boyfriend was waiting there. Maybe from not kissing enough last night, today, they met and had another good morning kiss, it was sticky sweet.

Once Yue Ran paid for his meal, he sat not far away and looked at them. He saw his roommate’s boyfriend sniffing at the other man. Remembering that his two omega friends and their other half often did the same, he was immediately upset.

He also wanted to smell inviting, and he also wanted to stay close to the people he liked without worrying.

But when normal alphas received his pheromones, they were always converted into what the alphas despised the most. Durian perhaps, or cilantro, or maybe even gasoline, but the ‌result would always be something they don’t like.

The alpha who could be together with him would either have a defect as well or go through a cruel surgery and become a cripple, or else they would faint from the smell.

He was like an incompatible monster.

A monster who didn’t care so much before, but now he cared because he fell for an alpha.

Lin Qian glanced at him and said, “Others are happy to leave the order, why is it like the sky is falling when you come here? Such a handsome guy, can he eat two more bowls of rice every day just by looking at him, okay?”

Lin Qian studied him and said, “Others are happy when they lose their single status. Why is it like the sky is falling when it comes to you? To have such a handsome man, and the sight of him could increase anyone’s appetite to eat two more bowls of rice every day.”

Yue Ran said, “I’m not unhappy.”

Lin Qian asked, “Then why aren’t you eating with your husband?”

Yue Ran insisted, “I like you.”

Lin Qian uttered, “…Thank you.”

As he was talking, a familiar voice came from the side, closely followed by a newcomer sitting down at their table.

“Why didn’t you wait for me?” Zhou Jieying complained. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”

Yue Ran deadpanned, “Forgot.”

Lin Qian added with a smile, “Don’t blame him. He just officially lost his single status and is still in a daze.”

“Oh, that’s how it is. I almost thought that the senior used extraordinary means to get you to nod,” Zhou Jieying looked at him and said with a smile, “Congratulations on getting out of the order, I’m envious.”

After the meal, they gathered downstairs to continue the military training.

During the break, Zhou Jieying sat with Yueran as usual, and talked to him about interesting things. Seeing that he was not interested, he said in a low voice: “Couldn’t the senior use tricks to force you to agree?”

During the break, Zhou Jieying sat with Yue Ran as usual and picked an interesting topic to talk about. Seeing that the other wasn’t interested, he whispered, “Did the senior really force you to agree by extraordinary means?”

Yue Ran replied, “No.”

“Then why are you so unhappy?” Zhou Jieying then guessed, “He has another first love?”

Yue Ran blinked at the question. “I don’t know.”

Zhou Jieying moved his thoughts. “If it’s not first love. Then are you worried about having too many love rivals?”

He paused slightly and sighed. “That’s really a worrying thing. He is the school grass, after all, there’s also his pheromones that you need to worry about.”

That nerve in Yue Ran’s brains was fiercely poked as he suddenly looked at the other man. “Pheromones?”

“That’s right,” Zhou Jieying saw that he reacted so strongly, he was stunned for a moment before continuing, “I heard that some Omegas with high genes smell very good. I used to have a friend whose boyfriend was raped by another Omega first. The smell is attractive, and I gradually lost feelings for him, so I broke up with him. Now that you have taken an inhibitor, there is no pheromone at all, so pay more attention.”

“That’s right,” Zhou Jieying continued after seeing Yue Ran’s large reaction. “I heard that some genetically high Omega’s pheromones smell really pleasant. I used to have a friend whose boyfriend was attracted to other omega’s smells and slowly lost feelings and interest for my friend, he was dumped at the end. Now you better be careful because you don’t have your pheromones at all with the suppressant and all.”

Oh, I actually prefer to be like that forever.Yue Ran quietly turned his attention the other way.

Zhou Jieying didn’t miss the change in the other’s look. He knew that in the dark, Yue Ran was very sensitive to subject matter on pheromones. Could the other have lost a relationship to this before?

This was a really good breach.

He narrowed his eyes with pleasure.

The day passed quickly.

In the evening, Yue Ran met up with Jiang Xiao for dinner.

Jiang Xiao studied closely and saw that his little summoner seemed alright. He patted the youth’s head and pulled him into the canteen.

There was a great deal of noise in the dining hall. Many people saw their connecting hands, which confirmed the rumours that the school grass found love.

Qin Xiujie happened to be there.

He didn’t notice the pair at first until the classmate beside pointed them out. He almost threw out the food in his hand.

Previously, he mistakenly thought that Ranran was taking a three-month inhibitor. He had thought that Jiang Xiao would be able to take down Ranran in such a short period of time, but he didn’t expect that product to be so efficient!

Previously, he mistakenly thought that Ran Ran’s suppressant was effective for three months, he also thought that it was unlikely for Jiang Xiao to win over his younger cousin’s heart in such a short time. He didn’t expect this guy’s efficiency to be this high!

He watched Ran Ran sitting there waiting for the meal. He walked over and placed his service plate on the table, asking with a smile, “So you guys are together?”

Yue Ran informed his older cousin, “One month trial period.”

Qin Xiujie laughed and sat on the next chair. “He mentioned it?”

Yue Ran made an affirmative sound, looked at the other and said with a complicated expression, “He must have a lot of omega admirers, so does he not find…”

Not find those fragrant omegas very pleasant?

Jiang Xiao returned before he could finish. Yue Ran immediately restored his wooden face with slightly bulged cheeks.

Seeing his chin raised slightly, the words “I’m fine” written on his face, and his arrogant appearance, Jiang Xiao was suddenly surprised, stretched out his hand to pinch his face, and then looked at Qin Xiujie.

Looking at the youth’s slightly lifted chin and the words ‘I’m fine’ written on his prideful and charming face, Jiang Xiao suddenly did what he rarely sought after by reaching out and pinching the slightly puffed cheeks before looking at his friend.

Qin Xiujie exchanged a look with him and left Yue Ran in his friend’s care.

Putting the dishes on the table, he sat down at the opposite spot. “Time to eat, darling.”

Yue Ran learned from his mistake and said, “You’re not allowed to use darling.”

Jiang Xiao coaxed, “You can get accustomed to it.”

Yue Ran refused, “No.”

Jiang Xiao responded with a good temper, and didn’t contradict him. Seeing that he was going back to the dormitory after dinner, he stopped him: “Anyway, I’m going to the Internet cafe, so just stay outside with me.”

Jiang Xiao responded with a good temper and didn’t disagree with the youth. After dinner, seeing the other was about to head back to the dormitory, he grabbed him. “Since we’re already going to the internet cafe, just stay outside with me.”

“I want to change my clothes.”

“You can change later.”

Unable to win against the man in this debate, Yue Ran had no choice but to follow his senior around the campus.

Jiang Xiao noticed something troubled his little summoner the moment he entered the canteen. Unfortunately, Yue Ran didn’t leak anything throughout his indirect approach. So he temporarily raised another topic. “Do you want to be my partner in the competitive double battle?”

Yue Ran said, even without thinking, “No way.”

“I can say that my wife doesn’t want to play games anymore, so I can only change people temporarily,” Jiang Xiao said, “We broadcast live every day these days. We have a good relationship. It’s normal for me to find you.”

“I can say that my wife refused to play the game anymore, so I have to change partners at the last minute.” He guided gently. “We were playing together on the livestream. We have a good relationship. It’s normal for me to ask you.”

Yue Ran shared, “Sunken Moon also asked me, which I’m still deciding.”

Jiang Xiao secretly complained that these individuals were becoming more and more hateful, but on the surface, he said, “Instead of being your husband’s partner, you’re running away with another man?”

Yue Ran glanced at the other man and ruthlessly reminded him, “From what I see, Sunken Moon asked me earlier than you did, and my friendship with him is also deeper than with you.”

“…” Jiang Xiao insisted, “I’ll find a way.”

Since he fell for Yue Ran, he thought about winning the first competitive double battle with the youth several times. Now that he had successfully won over the other person, there was no reason for him to powerlessly watch his little summoner and that healer together.

They switched to another topic for a while, before it was close to livestream time.

Jiang Xiao sent Yueran back to change his clothes, and while waiting for him downstairs, he called Qin Xiujie. After hanging up, he glanced away from the corner of his eye and saw Zhou Jieying approaching him aggressively.

Jiang Xiao sent Yue Ran back to change clothes. While waiting downstairs, he called Qin Xiujie. Once he hung up, he cast a glance at something moving in the corner of his eyes and saw Zhou Jieying coming towards him aggressively.

Zhou Jieying changed to his previously smiling face and stared at him with wide eyes. “Senior, I’ve something to ask you.”

He was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, showing a pair of slender legs. A faint blush sprinkled his cheeks. With his large eyes, he was the embodiment of vitality.

Jiang Xiao’s nose twitched slightly as he asked indifferently, “What’s your question?”

Zhou Jieying said, “I don’t want to cause a scene with you here. Let’s move to a less crowded spot.”

Jiang Xiao was straightforward, after he sent a WeChat message to Yue Ran and Qin Xiujie respectively, he took the other man out of the socialising area.

Yue Ran arrived downstairs just in time to see the two walking side by side.

He checked his WeChat message.

[There’s something that I need to deal with. Wait a while for me.]

He hesitated for two seconds, but he really couldn’t hold back his curiosity. So he sneakily followed them. Seeing there were fewer and fewer people around the two, he began to wonder whether Jiang Xiao was looking for a place to kill and hide a body or not.

At this time, Zhou Jieying was very satisfied with the status quo, but still had an air of reckoning on his face, and asked: “Senior, I know you like Yueran, and I know you are together, but Yueran has been very unhappy since last night. I’m not happy, and I’ve been depressed all day today, what did you do to get him to agree?”

Zhou Jieying was very satisfied with the current situation, but the determination to settle an account was still shown on his face. He inquired, “Senior, I know you like Yue Ran and also that you two are together, but Yue Ran has been very unhappy since last night and was in a depressed mood all day today. What did you do to get him to agree?”

Jiang Xiao asked, “He has been unhappy all day?”

“Yes, he won’t say why no matter how I ask, so I had to come to you.” Zhou Jieying gazed up at Jiang Xiao and took a step forward. “He is my good friend. I will never forgive you if you bully him!”

Jiang Xiao listened to the sound of cars coming from far and near, this time he didn’t pick up the words, and said coldly: “You are not the first Omega to come to me during estrus, two Omega have used this trick before.”

Jiang Xiao listened to the sound of incoming cars. This time, he didn’t answer any more questions, instead, he said in an ice-cold tone, “You’re not the first omega who came to me during their estrus period. Two omegas have already used this trick.”

Zhou Jieying’s expression changed slightly.

Jiang Xiao continued, “But you’re a little smarter than them. You know to use Ran Ran as an excuse.”

He stared down at the man before him. “You can’t be this lucky to be in your estrus period. I say you tookdrugs, right?”

Zhou Jieying panicked and blurted, “I didn’t. Don’t change the subject.”

Jiang Xiao turned a deaf ear and added, “Did you plan this just at the right time? Isn’t Ran Ran following behind us right now?”

He turned back after he said this, and happened to meet the little summoner’s eyes, who was hiding behind the tree and carefully observing them.

Yuru suddenly met his gaze, was startled, and instinctively wanted to shrink back. At this moment, he heard the whistling sound from far to near, and the campus medical vehicle stopped in front of the two with a “stab”. Immediately after the back door opened, several medical staff quickly ran down and rushed towards Zhou Jieying.

Making sudden eye contact, Yue Ran was startled and instinctively wanted to shrink back. Then, quickly after, he only heard a siren roaring from far to near. The campus medical treatment car stopped with a loud squeak in front of the two people. Then several medical staff ran down quickly from the back door and rushed to Zhou Jieying.

Zhou Jieying seemed to want to struggle, but he was soon restrained by the professionals.

The medical staff lifted him into the car, slammed the door with a bang as the siren started screaming away.

Yue Ran: “…”

Jiang Xiao turned and walked beside him, said as if what just happened was a trivial matter, “Let’s go.”

Yue Ran uttered, “Oh” and followed the other quietly for five to six steps before he finally collected his thoughts. “What just happened?”

Jiang Xiao retold why Zhou Jieying was looking for him then explained the next event, “He took drug to force himself to enter the estrus period, but the drug won’t work if he hasn’t experienced his first estrus, it would only make his pheromones sweeter a bit.”

He glanced at the youth. “He won’t suddenly use this trick. Did he ask you anything today?”

Yue Ran pondered over it and finally understood.

Zhou Jieying probably saw that he was sensitive to the pheromones topic, and took the opportunity of his unhappiness to find Jiang Xiao, even catching the right moment for him to walk down the stairs. If Jiang Xiao didn’t resist the temptation and took advantage of Zhou Jieying, or if the two acted ambiguously, it would be a thorn for the sensitive him.

The most clever part of the scheme was, Zhou Jieying used the false pretence of settling an account with him. If Zhou Jieying was taken advantage of by Jiang Xiao, then he would become the victim, even better if he was temporarily marked by Jiang Xiao.

But that wasn’t the main point.

Yue Ran didn’t understand. “Where did he get the drug?”

If he remembered correctly, drugs like this would need to be prescribed.

Unless an omega was pregnant, they must experience their estrus period at least once per year. Therefore, some busy omega would choose to take drugs during their spare time to force their estrus period earlier, so as not to interfere with their work. However, the prerequisite was they must be diagnosed by the doctor and confirm there would be no harm to the body before getting the prescription.

Jiang Xiao guessed, “He must have a relative who is a doctor. Wait for the school to investigate. Stay away from him in the future.”

Yue Ran nodded.

To bring such a drug on the campus, the person must be malicious, no matter if the drug was taken by the person or used to drug someone else.

He asked, “Who called the campus medical crowd?”

Jiang Xiao replied, “Your cousin, I asked him to.”

Yue Ran assumed that Jiang Xiao must have sent his cousin a specific address, nodded and continued to follow the other person. He found that he had returned to the socialised zone and asked, “We are not going to the internet cafe?”

Jiang Xiao said, “We are, but first stay downstairs for a moment.”

“Why?”

“Some enthusiasts especially came out to see me. If your classmates are among them, I should come and greet them.”

Yue Ran was completely baffled. “So?”

“Better remember to rush into my arms.”

Yue Ran vetoed, “No way.”

Jiang Xiao smiled. “You’ll do it.”

Yue Ran scoffed at the other, but he was soon getting his face slapped.

Because when they arrived at his dorm’s lobby, some students really came out. After the two sides greeted each other, Jiang Xiao said softly at the moment when the other side turned around, “Stop being angry, please. I already told you that Zhou Jieying tried to seduce me. You don’t believe it because you’re friends with him.”

Yue Ran: “…”

The students who didn’t walk very far away were immediately interested as they eased up their pace and pricked up their ears to listen.

Jiang Xiao continued, “If he even thought of taking drugs today, I don’t know what else he wouldn’t do in the future. Please listen to me and don’t see him as a friend anymore.”

Several people were so shocked that they couldn’t keep their heads from turning back.Holy fuck, drug?!

Yue Ran maintained his straight face, and he couldn’t pretend to act sad. Noticing the leading hands on his shoulder, he obediently buried his face in the other’s arms.

Jiang Xiao held back his smile as he comforted, “Alright, please don’t cry. I’ll take you out for some fresh air.”

Yue Ran whispered, “‘Kay”. He knew that after Zhou Jieying came back, he could ignore him openly for a reason. Not only him but others that learned of Zhou Jieying’s true face.

Instead of killing the other off, they revealed the other’s intentions. That guy was definitely not a good person.
