Shi Qing had only known Qin Mo for a day, but one day was enough for him to know that this man was very quaint. However, even if you smashed his head in, he would still not have known how strange this man could really be!
What sort of brainstorming went on in his mind? Itâs practically out of this world, okay?
So youâve been going on a blind date for your brother this whole time? So youâve been asking all those questions on Ye Zhenâs behalf? YouâŚYouâre not looking for an Omega yourself?
Shi Qing was stunned, but at the same time, he felt a strange sense of joy bubbling up within him. As someone who could never hide his feelings, the corners of his lips began to turn up, up, and up againâŚ
Equally shocked was Li Xia, but what he felt after he recovered from his shock wasnât joy. It was an outright sense of humiliation!
The feeling of being toyed with, insulted, and mocked rushed up to his head, causing him to swell so much with anger that he stood up.
He usually wouldnât care much about an incompetent Beta, but he just happened to catch the smile playing at Shi Qingâs lips, causing him to misunderstand.
So, youâve all been colluding to play me! Even an unloved Beta has come to laugh at me!
Li Xiaâs anger rose to a breaking point in an instant.
His voice was filled with unconcealed anger. âWhat is the meaning of this?!â
Completely the opposite of him was the calm and composed Alpha. Qin Mo did not even bat an eyelid. He was seriously picking off the peppercorn on top of the pickled vegetable fish slice before putting it into Shi Qingâs bowl.
Only then did he say, âYou will marry Ye Zhen and get pregnant, then have children as soon as possible.â
Li Xia was completely infuriated by his indifferent attitude. âWho wants to marry that pervert?!â
With one final nasty glare at the two, he threw down his final words, âYour Ye family has gone overboard with your bullying!â
Then, he kicked his chair away in anger and turned to leave.
Zijin Gardens was designed in an ancient Chinese style, so all the chairs were heavy wooden ones. Plus, as they were dining outdoors, there was no way the chair would be quiet when kicked to the ground by Li Xia so aggressively.
Qin Mo frowned and said with dissatisfaction. âHis temper is too terrible.â
Shi Qing, ââŚâ
But then, his brother spoke again, âBut itâll do. Itâs fine if they can have children.â
Shi Qing, ââŚâ HeâŚHeâs on his knees!
When he saw Shi Qing staring dumbly into space, Qin Mo asked, âWhy arenât you eating? Werenât you hungry?â
Shi Qing looked down and saw the four delicate little bowls and plates in front of him.
There was a piece of sweet and sour pork rib, three clean slices of pickled fish, and a small piece of roasted eggplant and tenderloin.
âŚThere wasnât much, but they were all his favorites.
Most importantly, they were all sent to him bit by bit by Qin Mo.
Shi Qing felt like that big jar of vinegar inside of his chest had now turned into a puddle of honey.
So touched, so happy, alsoâŚthe pickled vegetable fish is so good. The taste is awesome!
Seeing that Shi Qing had begun to eat, Qin Mo began picking out fish bones and peppercorns for him before passing over piece after piece of the freshest and fattiest bits of fish.
Shi Qing ate with much gusto. He liked fish and spice, so he loved this dish. Moreover, the craftsmanship at Zijin Gardens was first-rate. Even though it was a different time and space with different ingredients, the flavour fit his taste buds perfectly. It was so immensely good.
The fish was succulent while the pickled vegetables had a nice crunch. More importantly, it was numbing and spicy. He actually felt a buzz of warmth in his chest as he ate.
Actually, he felt warmth from the beginning, but it got even warmer, until now when things began heating up.
In addition, that heat seemed unsatisfied by just thrashing around in his chest. Gradually, it began to flow outwards at a fast pace. All his organs were enveloped by that heat, and following that, it was as if something was being liberated. The feeling was free and gratifying, like finally being able to breathe after wearing tight clothes for the whole day.
Shi Qing couldnât help but marvel that the food here in Zijin Gardens really was high-end, that their food actually provided such miraculous effects. It had a good taste, a good texture, and not only was it feeling, it could also make his body feel so nice!
HuhâŚwhy was there no fish left?
Shi Qing looked up at his feeder, but in the next moment, he felt that something was wrong.
With a clack, the chopsticks fell to the table, colliding with the porcelain with a crisp noise. That didnât wake Qin Mo at all.
Qin Mo stared motionlessly at Shi Qing, his black eyes deep, but he could see a hint of red within those depths.
In an instant, Shi Qingâs brain cells finally picked up the pace, and following that, cold sweat covered his body.
To hell with the magical fish, to hell with relief, he was indeed liberated, but what was fucking liberated was his Omega instincts that had been suppressed by inhibitors!
Why in hell did the inhibitors stop working now?
Thatâs not rightâŚInhibitors are effective for 24 hours. Shi Qing had only taken them this morning, and since itâs 12 at noon now, only six hours passed at the very most. There was eighteen hours to go, so how did it lose its effectiveness?
In the end, Shi Qing couldnât care less about the reason. If the inhibitor didnât work, then his identity as an Omega would be exposed. Just thinking about the unlucky Ye Xin made his scalp tingle.
The worst part was, he didnât bring any inhibitors with him since there were more than ten hours left!
Calm down, calm down! Shi Qing forced himself to calm down.
Itâs not so bad. Even though the inhibitor stopped working, heâs not in estrus. Even though he wasnât in estrus, an Omegaâs scent would still attract Alphas, but it definitely wouldnât wreak havoc. Especially since he was with Qin Mo, theyâll be fine. Definitely.
Unfortunately, his thoughts were crushed into pieces in the very next moment.
Because the biggest danger here was Qin Mo.
The moment the chopsticks landed, Qin Mo took his waist and leaned forward. His black eyes were like deep vortexes that looked as if they wanted nothing more than to suck in the person in front of them. He lowered his head, burying it between Shi Qingâs neck and breathed in hard before speaking with his voice tinged in madness. âShi Qing, you smell so good.â
As soon as he said so, a wet tongue touched his skin. Shi Qing felt like a stream of electricity was drilling into his heart alongside that maddening sound. The tumbling desires hidden inside of his heart felt like they were going to gush out all at once.
God! No! No way! Not at a time like this!
He tried his best to break away from Qin Moâs embrace. With blushed cheeks and a voice that could not help but raise in tone, he said, âWake up, brother! Please, I beg you, we canâtâŚâ
The dextrous tongue had already slid down his neck and come to his collarbones. Shi Qing struggled fiercely as he endured the numbness radiating through his skin.
He had always felt that his body was weak, but also sensitive. He successfully resisted Qin Mo before, but now, even when he exerted all his strength, it was just like tossing an egg at a stone. He was too weak to move him in the slightest.
God! Whatâs with this big reaction?
This isnât normal! Sure, Ye Qing is an Omega, but heâs just a normal Omega. His pheromones definitely werenât as strong as Ye Xinâs, uh, nor Li Xiaâs from just now.
Qin Mo was completely unmoved in front of Li Xia, and was even making cold calculations in his heart, so how did he turn into this with him? Heâs completely lost it!
He wasnât in heat, definitely not, itâs just that the inhibitors lost their effectiveness.
SoâŚHow did this happen?!
What he didnât know was that a flurry of activity was happening outside.
There werenât any private rooms at Zijin Gardens, only a few dining locations that were scattered around the man-made gardens. Even though they were extremely spaced apart and separated by the various scenic surroundings, since they werenât sealed, there was no way to stop this crazy outflow of pheromones.
Zijin Gardens covered eight thousand acres with a hundred and twenty tables in total. There were almost ninety single Alphas present at that moment, and they were all restless.
The strange, unknown, and unimaginably sweet scent was intoxicating them.
GodâŚIt was too sweet, fragrant, and enticing! They had never smelled such delicious pheromones in their lives. It was impossible to describe in any language, or even to put their heads around. Even just the slightest whiff had them smitten.
That definitely had to be a beautiful Omega, a top grade Omega that was enough to amaze the world.
Perhaps, if they were able to obtain himâŚthey may be able to taste absolute beautyâŚ
That would be the supreme pleasure of being an Alpha!
Donât even mention the single Alphas, even the Omegas were feeling agitated.
Li Xia, the Omega who sprained his leg from kicking the chair and could not walk was one of the most prominent ones.
Li Xia was pissed almost half to death by Ye Mo and also suffered a heavy injury. He was barely able to get away from that pair of brothers and now, leaning under a tree, he really couldnât move anymore. While considering making a phone call to find someone to pick him up, he smelled the strong pheromones.
Li Xia was stunned. Quickly realizing something, he crawled back there while enduring the pain and saw the completely seduced Ye Mo as well as Ye Qing with his wretched Omega instincts exposed!
Brotherly incest!
Li Xia froze. But following that, he quietly stepped further away.
He had an inhibitor on him, but he wonât take it out. Heâll just let the two brothers play around with each other. Who asked them to humiliate and toy with him? They deserve to suffer such sins!
By the time they woke up and came to realize what theyâd done, theyâd realize that theyâd ruined their lives.
Donât even mention those two brothers, the entire Ye familyâs reputation would go under the dirt, and theyâd never be able to raise their heads high again!
All the humiliation Li Xia felt before suddenly found an outlet to be vented all at once. He had never met an Alpha that wasnât interested in him, but that didnât matter. That Alpha was about to be done for!
Since you look down on me, then you can just go to hell!
Li Xia gripped the inhibitor in his pocket and quietly hid to the side, watching this forbidden scene with a cold eye.
***
Shi Yun was seriously annoyed. How did he bump into Ye Zhen just by coming out for a meal? Seriously annoying to death. They used to be great buddies, but that guy suddenly lost his mind and began pursuing him like a lunatic. Simply mind blowing!
Itâs not like two Alphas getting together was completely unheard of, but nobody goes about it that openly, okay? Moreover, where would they even find time for love and relationships?
Whatâs more, he wouldnât do this and that with anyone even if you beat him to death!
While feeling annoyed, he suddenly smelled a familiar scent, causing his whole body to freeze. That is the smell he had been searching for for a long time, and he had almost fallen into desperation. He didnât think thatâŚhe would run into it here so coincidentally.
Thanks for waiting everyone. Iâm slowly getting into the swing of being back to work. I always forget how crazy this time of year is with the kids going to school and activities starting etc. And every year it comes and Iâm like, wow this is crazy I forgot about all that. And then the whole thing repeats. My little cuties look great in their masks though.
Another chapter will be coming shortly, I just need to proofread it, so if itâs not there yet check back soon!
PLEASE NOTE! For some reason, in this chapter, Qin Mo calls Shi Qing by his actual name, despite the fact that, to Shi Qing, he shouldnât know that name. So I donât know if thatâs the authorâs mistake, shows that Shi Qing is too much of a cute dumbass to notice, or what, but that is how it was so Iâm leaving it.
