Ch49 - Too Late, I Already Heard That!

Editor: DarkSapphire, Sahloknir

After successfully showing Zhou Jieying’s true colours, Jiang Xiao took Yue Ran to the internet cafe.

Because they got on later than usual, the fans camping in the livestream room were already crying piteously for food. They feared that the host stood them up and suddenly disappeared again. When they saw the stream go live, they were moved to tears.

Jiang Xiao simply gave a single sentence explanation—something came up at the last minute. He sent a party invite to Yue Ran and played ranked arena as usual.

They have been playing random mode recently, and some players who want to watch the great gods also click into the arena. Jiang Xiao and the others have a high winning percentage. After finishing the teams with similar winning percentages, the rest are basically in groups of five.

They had been playing random mode recently, and some players who watched the stream wanted tostream snipethe two great gods. Since the duo had a high win rate, after finishing a match with a team of similar win rate, the rest were basically against groups of five members.

Most of these consisted of fans.

Except for a very small number of people who really want to compete with the master, the rest don’t want to fight at all. They either take a photo and let the idol be beaten to death, or they just want to have a fun game with the master. None of them are serious.

Except for a few who really wanted to test their luck against the great gods, the rest didn’t put up a fight at all. After they got screenshot photos, they would request to get killed under their idol’s hands, or play an interesting game, not one of them took the arena seriously.

After encountering three fan groups consecutively, all of them choose to surrender voluntarily. The system sent a prompt message on the temporary restriction placed on their accounts due to unusual activities. That meant no more ranked for them tonight.

Which worked in Jiang Xiao’s favour because he didn’t want to continue playing ranked when his little summoner’s heart wasn’t in the game.

He then ended his livestream earlier than scheduled, switched back to his swordsman account, and turned to the youth. “Let’s run some instance dungeons?”

Yue Ran uttered a “Sure” as he watched the other man gathering The Past and others into the party for the five-member dungeon. They advanced the dungeon while chatting.

In such a short time, the news that the school medical truck took away an Omega in estrus has spread. Donuts have always loved to eat melons, and their personality was comparable to Lin Qian’s, so he asked, “I heard it’s from the boy’s side, do you know about Xing Mie?”

During this period, the news that the school medical vehicle took away an omega in their estrus period had spread. Doughnut, being a melon seed lover, had a gossiping nature that could rival Lin Qian. “I heard it was a first-year male omega, Dying Star, do you know this?”

Not only do I know, I also watched the whole thing.Yue Ran replied in his head. “Yes, we have the same major.”

The other three members of the party were surprised. “What a coincidence. What’s his name?”

Yue Ran shared, “Zhou Jieying.”

The Past said, “I heard it happened on campus. Is the guy alright?”

Yue Ran muttered, “I think so.”

Doughnut breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good that he is alright. It would have been horrible if there were alphas around.”

There was indeed an alpha around, at a very close distance at that.

Yue Ran quietly glanced at Jiang Xiao who wasn’t contributing to the conversation. The Past, as an alpha, couldn’t resist the urge to defend, “Alpha can actually resist pheromones’ temptation.”

Another teammate, Youcai, immediately dismantled the stage: “Blow it, you can. When I was in my third year of high school, an Omega suddenly went into heat during the inter-class exercise. A group of Alphas started a group fight on the spot, and almost killed them.”

The third teammate, Vegetable Flowers, immediately pulled the rug out from That Past’s feet. “You can continue to boast. When I was in senior high school, an omega suddenly went into their estrus period during break, and a group of alpha began to fight over the omega on the spot. This almost ended in a fatal accident.”

Doughnut asked, “What happened next?”

Vegetable Flowers continued, “Next, our school medical physician came over with a grenade launcher and fired it towards the group, putting the group of alphas down.”

The crowd: “…”

The entire YY chat went quiet for a few seconds, and then The Past and Doughnut asked in unison, “Is your school’s physician from the rescue team.”

The rescue team, just like the name suggested, was a team that came to omegas’ rescue when they were in their estrus period.

They generally deal with very difficult cases. Since Alpha’s innate deterrence will reach its peak when it falls into heat, ordinary Betas can’t handle it at all. Therefore, except for a very small number of Betas with super high physical fitness, most of the members of the rescue team They are all Alphas, some of them have marked Omega, they are not affected by pheromones at all, some are not, but they have all undergone very strict training and will not lose their minds.

As a team that usually deals with very thorny incidents, especially against alphas’ innate deterrence that peak when they were caught in an omega’s estrus period, ordinarily betas were no match against them. Therefore, except for a few betas with ultra-high physical qualities, most of the members of the rescue team were alphas. Some of them already had an omega partner so were unaffected by pheromones at all, while the ones who didn’t had undergone very strict training to retain control.

For example, Feng Zhuohao, the captain of this city’s rescue team, was an alpha without a partner. He had never made a mistake since he took office, and he was also an internet celebrity captain. Even students from outside of the city had heard of his name.

And they have all seen the so-called grenade launcher on the Internet. It is standard equipment for the rescue team. It is loaded with ammunition, which has a calming effect and can knock down a large amount of Alpha. So after hearing what Rape said, their first reaction was the rescue team.

In the past, I still want to clean up the image of the Alphas, saying: “As long as we are not locked up with a estrous Omega, we can maintain our sanity. That time is enough for us to stay away from the Omega and call the rescue hotline. Besides, we usually carry Elixir, we don’t want to just mark an Omega we don’t like.”

The Past still wanted to clean alphas’ image and argued, “As long as we aren’t locked up in the room with an omega in their estrus period, we can definitely stay rational. Enough time for us to increase distance from the omega and call the rescue hotline. In addition, we usually have suppressant on hand. Because we don’t want to mark an omega we don’t like as well.”

Vegetable Flowers said curiously, “Have you ever smelled an omega’s pheromones during their estrus period?”

The Past replied, “No.”

Vegetable Flowers impolitely pulled another rug out from the other man’s feet again. “Then you have no right to say any of this. Wait until you actually experience it.”

Doughnut supported, “That’s right.”

The Past turned and gazed at the party leader like a sad puppy, in search of an ally. “Senior, you’re also alpha, right? What do you think?”

Jiang Xiao answered, “I smelt it. Nothing special.”

The Past immediately straightened his back. “You see, he’s absolutely right!”

Vegetable Flowers and Doughnut still didn’t buy it. They told The Past it varies from person to person. The senior was the senior, and he was himself.

The Past mainly wanted to show that alphas would not pounce on omegas at any given chance, so he reasoned with them again. The party’s YY chat was filled with a verbal battle for a while, which was very lively.

Yue Ran didn’t interrupt, he just glanced at the senior from time to time.

Jiang Xiao directed the dungeon under his gaze, and said goodbye to them in the past. Seeing that his little soul master was still silent, he had to take the initiative to ask: “Do you have something to ask?”

Jiang Xiao carried on the dungeon with his command then bid farewell to the other three. Seeing that his little summoner was still quiet, he had to take the initiative to say, “Do you have any questions?”

Yue Ran replied, “No.”

Jiang Xiao sat sideways and coaxed, “You can speak your mind.”

Yue Ran instinctively wanted to voice another no, but before he could speak, a hand pinched his chin.

The man in front of him approached slightly closer and said with a low chuckle, “Think before you speak. If you are not truthful, I will have to kiss you.”

“…” Yue Ran immediately wanted to slap the hand away, but when he saw the other was getting closer, he couldn’t resist holding his breath. He knew that this guy would keep his word, so Yue Ran requested calmly, “Release your hand first.”

Jiang Xiao let go of his hand, seeing him retreating into a corner, he blocked him again unhurriedly, recalling the phone call with Qin Xiujie, he made a rough guess about the little soul master’s mind, and said, “I want to ask What do I think about Omega pheromones?”

Jiang Xiao loosened his hand and saw the other shrank into the corner, he hurriedly blocked the youth. Recalling the call with Qin Xiujie, he could guess what was troubling the little summoner. “Would you like to ask me about my opinion on omegas pheromones?”

Yue Ran stayed quiet for a few seconds before asking, “Don’t you think they smell good?”

Jiang Xiao answered honestly, “They do.”

Yue Ran thought about how the other had no issue having his receiver removed. “You don’t have the desire to be intimate with the pleasant smell?”

“No.”

As he said that, he stared and squeezed his face, “I’m not lying to you. I can’t just get close to someone just because I think they smell good. Only people who like someone will want to get close to them, such as you.”

Jiang Xiao looked into the junior’s eyes and put some strength in the hand, pinching the soft chin. “I’m not lying to you. I don’t believe in being intimate with a person just because of their good scent. You have to like the person to have that desire, take you for example.”

Yue Ran maintained their eye contact. “But I don’t smell good.”

Jiang Xiao felt a sharp pain in his heart. He knew it took a lot of courage for his little spitfire to say this out loud. He couldn’t hold back the urge to pick up the precious person on his lap. Now they were face to face, he said, “Let’s think about this from another angle. Have you seen the news about loved ones suffering from a terminal disease and how the other half would never leave their side until the final moment?”

“…” Yue Ran uttered. “Yes.”

Jiang Xiao asked, “Do you believe those stories to be outrageous?”

Yue Ran shook his head.

Jiang Xiao continued, “Then look at us. You just have a small problem, not a terminal illness. Why should I leave you?”

Yue Ran opened his mouth, closed it, and repeated this a few times. For a moment, he was completely speechless.

When mutated pheromones with terminal illness were compared side by side…What he had really didn’t seem that serious.

“Of course I like you, I don’t like other Omega even if it smells good,” Jiang Xiao said softly, “I know you like me too, it’s not easy to meet someone you like, so don’t always try to run away from me , if there is a problem, we will solve it together.”

“Ran Ran, I like you. I won’t like other omegas even if they smell good,” Jiang Xiao whispered. “I know you like me too. It’s not easy to meet someone you like, so don’t always try to escape me. We’ll solve any problems. Together.”

Yue Ran quietly met the other’s gaze, feeling lost in those always-calm eyes. He could feel his restless heart was steadily pressed down, and then a firm force rose to urge him to move forward.

That’s right, I finally found a person I like. Why should I let him go?

He slowly breathed the stressed air out from his chest and finally stopped worrying about the gain and loss.

Jiang Xiao took in the subtle change in the other’s eyes and couldn’t resist the urge any longer as he tightened his arms.

Yue Ran collected his thoughts, saw the unblinking anticipation in his senior’s eyes and uttered in a complicated tone, “You…”

Jiang Xiao anticipated the moving words that might finally come out of his little summoner’s mouth. Instead, he heard the other ask, “Why did you carry me to your lap?”

Yue Ran: “…”

Yue Ran immediately regretted it when he finished the question.

He is not good at expressing his feelings. After making up his mind, he was uncomfortable being watched by someone, and then he noticed their posture at the moment, and asked subconsciously.

He wasn’t good at expressing his feelings. After he made a firm resolution, he was uneasy all over from being gazed upon by a certain someone. Then he noticed their positions and asked without thinking.

But that wasn’t the main point.

The point was that this topic itself was very ambiguous already, which would probably lead to some consequences. He hurried to get up, but then he was kept in place by the arms around him.

Jiang Xiao released one arm to pinch the youth’s chin again and replied, “To profit from this.”

Before Yue Ran could start struggling, he felt a soft contact on his lips. Then a warm heat pried open his mouth and curled into his mouth.

His brain went blank for a moment. It took him several seconds to snap out of it. The powerful and familiar pheromones spread from his lips and teeth to the bottom of his heart, quickly sapping his energy. Like a leaf floating on the sea, he was helplessly weak against the current and could only let the other party carry him wherever the wave took him.

The colour in Jiang Xiao’s eyes darkened as he pressed down the man in his arms onto the sofa and deepened the kiss.

The pheromone in the air gradually became thicker, and he kept pushing on the peripheral nerves, and he hummed a few times uncontrollably, and became weaker. It was not until the T-shirt was lifted that he suddenly regained some sanity and pressed the opponent’s hand. Hand: “No…”

The pheromones in the air gradually became thicker and kept teasing the other’s peripheral nerves. Yue Ran couldn’t restrain his low groans, then he turned boneless. It was not until his T-shirt was lifted ‌that he suddenly regained some intelligence and stopped the other’s hand. “No…”

Jiang Xiao also forced himself to stop, because this wasn’t really a good place either.

He raised his head while panting, licked the corner of his darling’s lips joyfully, and said in a husky voice, “I like you.”

All of Yue Ran’s intelligence that was floating in cloud nine gathered back. Later, he realised that this was his first kiss as his face suddenly turned red. Staring at the other person, completely speechless for a moment.

Judging from the blushing appearance, Jiang Xiao’s whole being knew the other person’s body must be dyed in the same colour as his eyes darkened even more. “Do you still want to return tonight?”

Yue Ran didn’t even need to ponder over the answer. “Of course!”

Jiang Xiao asked, “What if I don’t want to go back?”

Yue Ran huffed, “Then you can stay outside by yourself!”

Jiang Xiao smiled and stopped with the teasing. He picked the man back up and sat back on the empty side.

After the heated activity, Yue Ran didn’t have the heart to continue playing the game anymore. He controlled his character aimlessly for a while, and then followed Jiang Xiao back to his dorm.

When they arrived at the lobby, Jiang Xiao didn’t let go of the other’s hand for the time being. He grabbed his little summoner into his arms and whispered, “Goodnight kiss.”

Yue Ran’s heart skipped a beat and he felt the soft touch on his lips again.

This one wasn’t as intense, it was gentle with immense patience, like this September night.

Lin Qian saw Yue Ran come back with a strained straight face again and immediately raised his eyebrows.

Ho! Blushing from the cheeks to the neck, what did the senior do?

Yue Ran looked into the questioning eyes and felt the increased heat on his cheeks. So he ran into the bathroom to take a shower and went straight to his bed when he came out.

Excited emotions were rampant in his mind, he didn’t feel sleepy at all, he took out his phone and wanted to talk to someone, but he was too embarrassed to talk to his friends, so he logged into his phone YY after struggling for a long time, just listen to other people’s chats, and then find someone who is interested Topics talk to people.

His excitement ran rampant in his mind. He didn’t feel sleepy at all as he took out his phone to find someone to talk to, but he was too embarrassed to share it with his friends. After his long, internal struggle, he opened the YY APP on his phone, planning to listen to other people chatting or finding a mutual interest to talk about.

Then, when he entered the guild’s YY server, he found that Jiang Xiao was online and wanted to enter their voice room.

In an instant, a system prompt message popped up on his screen. A password prompt. Now knowing a password was required to enter, his curiosity peaked. He tried all the passwords he could recall and was lucky to guess the correct one.

The next moment, he heard his guildmates’ voices.

Ashen Inner Thoughts began, “Is it true that you’re in a relationship? It must be true with how crazy the reposting was on the school forum.”

Jiang Xiao confirmed, “Yes.”

Ashen Inner Thoughts continued, “I was right when I questioned about your sudden interest to merge guild, and also the last minute change in me being the guild leader. I see, so this is the reason.”

Blank joined in. “We actually investigated it privately. Only you and Qin Xiujie knew about the fake couple from the beginning. Your current boyfriend is Qin Xiujie’s younger cousin, right? And with how quickly you two fell into the river of love…Tell me the truth, is he that person from before?”

Jiang Xiao vaguely answered, “What do you guys think?”

The guild members chorused, “Of course!”

There was a hint of joy in Jiang Xiao’s voice. “Since this was known, then why ask me?”

Ashen Inner Thoughts said, “I just want to hear it from you.”

Blank chimed in, “I’ve asked The Past. There’s only one male omega in their guild who plays support summoner. Star God.”

BB Love exclaimed, “Oh my god! Someone, please pinch me. That means Star God is my sister-in-law?!”

Strongest O in Universe said softly, “Could you pinch me as well? I’ve just recently become his fan. Are you saying my Star God who speaks with his actions is actually a weeping type…”

Jiang Xiao interrupted, “Don’t mention this in front of him.”

Yue Ran: “…”

Laozi had already heard it!
