Chapter Thirty Six
Even at this moment, he could still retain his cool-headedness. With determination, he composed himself and steadied his figure. He Yan came around the car carrying a bag in his hand and saw him standing still, so he asked in puzzlement, “Why haven’t you gone in?”
But as soon as he drew near, he smelled the faintly discernible pheromone scent in the air.
“Fuck me! Hurry inside. Dixi<sup>1</sup>, don’t hurt me!” He Yan, who’d been a single alpha for many years, acted all flustered, not knowing if he should support him with a hand or not.
Jiang ShaoYan took the bag, sucked in a deep breath, and then said in a firm tone, “I’m fine, let’s go.”
The key was inserted into the door lock and twisted, the noise immediately startling the person inside.
“Xuezhang!” Wang Zhe almost ran out from the inside, not even wearing slippers, but when he saw Jiang ShaoYan coming through the door alongside He Yan, he instantly froze in place.
Jiang ShaoYan’s expression went cold. He took a single step forward and was about to release some harsh words. Suddenly, his back was pushed hard and his whole body was propelled towards the unsuspecting Wang Zhe.
He fell into a warm and familiar embrace.
“No thanks needed. You two hurry up and talk it out. I can’t stand the scent, bye-bye!” The culprit, He Yan, grabbed his own forgotten belongings from the entrance hall and hurried away.
The door closed with a *bang* and the house fell silent.
 
Wang Zhe tightened his arms, suppressing his instinctual urges. The scent unique to an omega lingered in the tip of his nose, pure and alluring.
There was no other scent on the one in his arms.
“I thought I’d lost you

” his voice trembled, “Do you still want me? Am I still your alpha

”
Jiang ShaoYan had originally wanted to lecture and admonish him, but catching sight of his red-rimmed eyes and the faint gleam of hope in those dimmed brown-green irises, he instantly lost the heart to lecture him.
“When did I say you weren’t?”
Wang Zhe choked out a sob. “But I’m just a temporary substitute. I thought you’d found someone better and didn’t need me anymore

”
Jiang ShaoYan’s brows pinched tightly together, “Nonsense, what substitute? Who are you a substitute for?”
“Isn’t it

” Wang Zhe sniffled, “You like Zou Rui, but he forced you, so you dumped him and ended up with me in a fit of rage, I know all that


“But I really can’t refuse you and I shamelessly thought that as long as you didn’t meet someone else you liked before your heat, maybe you’d really be with me for the rest of our lives

 Such selfishness really does deserve retribution. My Ge really is better than me and you liking him is natural

. ”
This time, Jiang ShaoYan finally understood the crux of the problem. He could only laugh. “The hell you know! I like Zou Rui? I like your brother? Then why did I still come back to find you? You really are so stupid I could die!”
Wang Zhe’s eyes glistened with faint tears, “I am stupid. All I know is what you’ve said and how you’ve said it. You said you liked Zou Rui. You also said you liked my Ge. You called them Ge and listened to them. They could tell you to do things you didn’t want to do, eat things you didn’t want to eat


“But the way you treat me – you only call me ‘silly dog’ and say that I’m as annoying as a dog

 What else can I do besides cling to you, wagging my tail and begging for pity? I just want you to see my merits and like me more, that’s all

 ”
His expression was like that of a patient who’d been declared beyond help by a doctor, desperate and helpless.
“But you’ve never said you like me.”
Wang Zhe raised his hand and wiped his eyes, “I heard you say that I’m your alpha and I was kissed by you. I was really happy, thinking that, just like you said, one day my merits would inevitably be seen. Afterwards, I found out that wasn’t the case
.

“I don’t blame you for your intentions, because I was so self-righteous that I kept troubling you and annoying you. How could someone like me, who has no good points, possibly be liked by you

”
His eyes were as red as a rabbit’s as he forced the corners of his mouth to curve into a painful smile, “But you still came back to me, I’m so happy.”
Tears were spilling out so quickly, but he was saying that he was happy.
Jiang ShaoYan’s heart throbbed with terrible pain.
“I

” He didn’t know where to start explaining. He was so irritated he could die and there was a fire burning in his body, scorching and barely tolerable, “Come upstairs with me!”
He’d always been a member of the hard work club<sup>2</sup>. He grabbed Wang Zhe’s collar and dragged him upstairs, not forgetting to firmly grip the bag in his hand. The heat caused him to fundamentally have little strength, but Wang Zhe still obediently let him drag him, loosely holding his arms around him in case he fell.
 
When they entered the bedroom, Jiang ShaoYan was already sweating heavily, his body all sticky. He nimbly stripped off his thick coat and the powerful pheromones that had been trapped inside rushed out, flooding the room.
Breathing unsteadily, Wang Zhe grabbed the hand that was about to pull off his sweater, “No

I won’t be able to restrain myself.”
That’d be for the best.
Jiang ShaoYan broke away his hands, lifting his arms and throwing off the sweater, leaving only a thin shirt on his upper body. With his hair sticking up a bit due to the static electricity from the previous act and his cheeks glowing red, he looked nothing at all like his ordinary ice-cold aggressive self.
Wang Zhe practically didn’t dare to look at him, but Jiang ShaoYan fixed his eyes on him as he approached step by step, until he was forced to the side of the bed and pushed down.
He straddled his legs and leaned up, his hands resting on Wang Zhe’s heaving, solid chest. Towering above him, he looked down at him, his gaze burning.
“I like you.”
He had to first emphasize this point.
“As long as you want me to say it, I’ll say as many times as you want. I like you, I like you very much. Do you know why Zou Rui forced me? Because he said he wanted to mark me at the dance that day, but I refused. I told him that I only wanted to be marked by you, marked by Wang Zhe, and then he got angry and wanted to forcibly mark me. ”
Wang Zhe’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“I’ve always been serious all along. I call you silly dog ​​because I think you look a lot like my family’s golden retriever. I always call it the same thing. I like it the most among my pets. I didn’t mean to make you think I hated you, making you misunderstand. I’m sorry. In the future, you can make me call you whatever you want.”
Jiang ShaoYan was heating up so much that he tore at his collar again, exposing his fair collarbone. “But saying that I like your Ge – that’s your fault. He’s your family. I want to look good in front of him, is that a problem? Is there a problem with wanting my boyfriend to think I’m considerate?”
Wang Zhe was staring blankly at him, mental capacity slowing more and more from the shock of these words and the increasingly rich pheromones, “No problem

”
“Forgetting to say that I like you was negligence on my part, but I haven’t confessed to you any less, right? Go ask around about how many alphas I beat up for daring to touch me. But I took the initiative to kiss you, took the initiative to jerk you off, I even asked you to mark me, so why couldn’t you see that I liked you from all that? Are you blind? If I wanted a substitute, wouldn’t I find a stronger one? Why would I have looked for you? What could Laozi see in your annoyingly weak pheromones? Laozi fucking fell for you, the man!”
This last sentence Jiang ShaoYan practically roared out.
Wang Zhe’s brain was shaken by his fierce, imposing manner and it took a long time for him to finally recover his thinking ability, “You like me

?”\n
(t/n: WZ was shooketh)
Jiang ShaoYan was in a horrible mood. “That was the first thing I said. You’re just now reacting? Did you hear anything I said after?”
“I heard

but I

”
“No buts.” Jiang ShaoYan’s patience was reaching its limit. “There’s no one else, only you. Only you, do you understand? Laozi only likes you, likes Wang Zhe. As long as Wang Zhe is my alpha, as long as Wang Zhe embraces me, kisses me, fucks me, there will be no one else, understand?”
Wang Zhe finally returned to his thoughts, nodding in a hurry, “I understand

” But his expression was still one of disbelief.
 
Upon seeing this, Jiang ShaoYan groped around for the bag he’d brought and took a small exquisite box from it. He threw the bag away to the floor.
He opened the box, revealing two simple, distinctive men’s platinum rings.
“Don’t treat that broken pen like a treasure anymore. I’ll give you this instead. These rings are what I made your Ge take me to get these past two days, because I don’t know much about this type of thing. I don’t have much money, so I couldn’t afford anything expensive for right now. Let’s just put up with these for now.”
Jiang ShaoYan took Wang Zhe’s left hand and put the larger ring on his middle finger, “I took advantage of when you were sleeping to measure your ring size, so it actually fits just right.”
He took the other one and passed it over.
“Put it on me.”
Wang Zhe’s entire body was frozen, his eyes not even shifting, as he stared at the white-silver ring on his own finger.
Jiang ShaoYan couldn’t wait much longer. He’d been able to endure the heat fever and keep calm up until now, far beyond the tolerance of an ordinary omega, but dragging it out any further could possibly hurt him.
“When you put that on me, I’m yours.” He plucked up Wang Zhe’s shirt with his other hand, stroking down from his strong abs to the pit of his stomach, where his heartbeat was fiercely throbbing. His palm went numb from the heat of his skin.
He wasn’t the only one being tortured by the heat.
Jiang ShaoYan’s lips curled in a smirk, “Hurry up. Don’t you still want to fuck me?”
Wang Zhe’s pupils suddenly contracted. He abruptly rolled over and pressed him down beneath his body.
“Xuezhang

” His grip on Jiang ShaoYan’s hand shook. He bowed his head and kissed his fingertips devotedly, then he solemnly put the ring on his matching finger. He then interlocked their fingers, folding their two hands together and then pressing them against his wildly-racing heart.
“In my heart

” His eyes darkened.
“

you have always been mine.”
 
Boom! Jiang ShaoYan’s eardrums echoed with the sound of the words for a moment and the previously-stifled undercurrent of fever in his body suddenly surged violently. This sentence alone had all the heat within him erupting like a volcano in an instant, pheromones like boiling lava flooding through his blood to all four of his limbs and the countless bones in his body, scalding his entire body so that he lost all strength and his limbs went weak.
The beast within his body finally woke up completely due to this loud echo, roaring out in demand for the alpha pheromone that would finally satisfy its hunger.
“Come on

thoroughly change me into yours.” He wrapped his arms around his alpha’s neck, unconsciously wanting to press even closer together. “Do you know how to do it?”
Wang Zhe nodded, blushing, and his eyes became even more bloodshot due to the stimulation of the pheromones.
Now this was the silly dog ​​he knew so well.
Jiang ShaoYan lightly raised his fingers, undoing the buttons of his own shirt one by one and pulling it to wide open, revealing his upper body, exposing the only omega-esque aspect of his body, the fair skin that shone with the soft luster of white jade under the light.
“You said you would satisfy me, don’t let me down.”
