CH 34

Song Xici was going through a lot. Today, he had been emotional and he had another fight. He was brutally brought down, and it had a great impact on his health, so it was normal for his pheromones to overflow.

After leaving Yi High School with a crestfallen expression, Song Xici had realized earlier what was happening. Looking at the recent unpredictable plot developments, it seemed that the upcoming storyline would involve him privately showing weakness to Ren Shuhan and asking for his help in keeping a secret.

Well… what else could he do? Otherwise, what did Ren Shuhan want from him?

Song Xici was truly speechless about this plot. How was it that when he slapped Song Xiyue’s face before, everything went smoothly, but now it suddenly malfunctioned?

Upon careful consideration, the only difference was that he had started pursuing Ren Shuhan. Could it be that because he hadn’t followed the script before, Ren Shuhan was also deviating from the expected course, making it more difficult to pursue him?

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

It seemed to be his own fault.

He needed to adjust the plot a bit and overcome this difficult phase. He had to persevere because he could do it! The “Chase the Wife to the Crematorium” pursuit was right ahead!

In any case, Song Xici thought that showing weakness now was the right move. He had already embarrassed himself in front of his little brothers. If news of this reached Shiyan High School, it would be a disgrace. The effect of being the class bully would disappear in minutes.

Furthermore, it was a standard tactic to get close to the cool protagonist and impress the classmates. To regain his trendy image, he could only engage in ambiguous behavior with Ren Shuhan. He wanted his little brothers to see that he and the protagonist were actually quite close.

Bitter rivals? It was only on the surface. Fighting? No, no, it was just teasing.

He didn’t believe that an Alpha with a compatibility rate of 100% like Ren Shuhan wouldn’t have any reaction to his pheromones. He also didn’t believe that Ren Shuhan was using suppressants this time.

However, before he could finish speaking, Ren Shuhan vomited.

Song Xici’s face instantly turned from red to pale.

Ren Shuhan: It’s really not my fault.

He hadn’t fully adapted to the ABO world’s pheromones yet. In the past, he had even been allergic to mangoes. But in this world, his body was no longer allergic, and normally, the reaction shouldn’t be so severe.

However, after the protagonist’s halo was turned off, Ren Shuhan felt that his body was gradually returning to its original state. His strength, agility… even the allergy to mangoes, which conflicted with the original host’s setup, became more pronounced and sensitive.

In the previous world, he had felt that the original host’s body was his own, and the more he used it, the more he got used to it. But it wasn’t as obvious as it was in this world. Perhaps this was the second book’s setting.

He had a premonition that when the book ended, his body would return to its true state. He wondered what his strength would be like then.

Anyway, the stimulus he was receiving was quite intense, and he vomited uncontrollably.

Song Xici took several steps back, but Jiang Qingyue quickly ran over and handed him some water.

“You go back, I’m fine,” Ren Shuhan took the water and pushed him away, “It’s dirty here, I’ll clean it up.”

He said that, rinsed his mouth, and took out a shovel from his baseball bag on his back. He began to dig and bury the vomit.

Onlookers: “…”

The school bully truly lived up to his reputation. He brought a shovel to school. You’re amazing, Brother Han!

Originally, Jiang Qingyue was worried, but when he saw him effortlessly digging and burying the vomit, he quietly returned to his original position…

Ren Shuhan didn’t think that much. Whenever he wanted something, he would simply take it from the system’s shop. He was just glad that he vomited in the green area and that he had brought his long cylindrical baseball bag today because otherwise, pulling out a long-handled shovel from his backpack would have been too nonsensical.

“Did you forget to bring your suppressants again?” After seeing Song Xici nod, Ren Shuhan took out a bottle of suppressants and handed it to him. “You owe me a bottle from last time, so just transfer the money to me now.”

Song Xici: “…”

That works too. This way, they would exchange contact information. Song Xici consoled himself, believing that according to the original work, he would gradually become Ren Shuhan’s friend and that Ren Shuhan would be deeply attracted to his interesting soul, not just his pheromones… No, that’s not right.

It was only at this moment that Song Xici realized something was off. Could it be that Ren Shuhan only vomited when he smelled his pheromones? Could that be possible? No way. No way.

He was in a panic, and then Ren Shuhan handed him his phone, showing a payment page on the screen.

Song Xici: “…………”

Spray suppressants were quite expensive. After receiving the payment, Ren Shuhan felt that if he continued to entangle with Song Xici, he could make a fortune by selling suppressants.

“I just wanted to tell you that I’m an Omega, and you must help me keep it a secret,” Song Xici finally delivered this line, but his expression was blank, and his tone was numb.

“Oh, yes,” Ren Shuhan casually threw the shovel into the trash bin and walked away.

This scene didn’t go as Song Xici had expected.

As he watched Ren Shuhan and Jiang Qingyue walk away, Song Xici’s numb heart gradually filled with envy.

This shouldn’t be his emotion. It had always been Song Xiyue who envied him. Why was it the other way around? Song Xici sprayed the inhibitor on himself to calm down. It was because of Ren Shuhan.

His little brothers gathered around him and asked, “What happened to Brother Han just now?”

“Can we leave now?”

They were too noisy. Song Xici frowned in disgust, looked in the direction where Ren Shuhan had left, and fell silent for a moment before saying, “I’ve decided. To wash away today’s shame, I must catch up with Ren Shuhan and then ruthlessly dump him.”

The way Ren Shuhan was supposed to act in the original book was too void of consequences. Now, it wouldn’t do. Song Xici had higher expectations.

He wanted to make Ren Shuhan kneel and lick his feet while he played coy with other Alphas, making him regret and experience his current feelings.

The little brothers: “…Oh,” “Uh, yeah,” “Go for it”…

What Song Xici didn’t know was that with a part of his halo suppressed, people’s hearts had scattered. His little brothers were all thinking:

“Big bro, can you really catch up to him? Didn’t he just vomit because of you?”

“His imagination is too grand. It seems like he can’t accept losing.”

“Can we go back now? I’m so hungry…”

But everyone cared about his face and didn’t say anything. Only one little brother dared to ask, “Isn’t this too difficult? Do you have a plan?”

“Don’t worry,” Song Xici said in a heavy voice, “I have plenty of opportunities.”

During the coming break, his family happened to be hosting a ball. His brother had planned to inform others that he had been found, and both Song Xiyue and Ren Shuhan would be present. It would be a perfect occasion.

In the original work, Ren Shuhan started chasing him from this ball. He would watch Song Xici dance with other Alphas, feel jealous, and ask him for a dance, where he would end up declining his invitation. In the end, he would only get a chance to dance together by using Song Xici’s secret as a threat.

However, opportunities obtained this way would only lead to their separation. Afterward, Ren Shuhan wouldn’t dare to resort to underhanded means again and could only rely on sincerity to move him.

Song Xici knew that this dog-man just needed to feel jealous. Regardless, he wouldn’t reveal his secret, and Song Xici could simply refuse his invitation to dance.

On the way home, Ren Shuhan sneezed.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Qingyue asked with concern. “Why did you suddenly vomit earlier?”

“It’s nothing. I was stimulated by his mango-scented pheromones. I’m allergic to mangoes,” Ren Shuhan casually said, “He waited for me for so long just to ask me to keep his secret. He’s an Omega, and I accidentally smelled his pheromones.”

Jiang Qingyue: “…Secret.”

Was it really okay to say it like that? But Jiang Qingyue felt a little happy.

Ren Shuhan confidently replied, “We don’t have any secrets between us. If you don’t say anything, it’s fine. Besides, we have no connection with him.”

“My brother said he’s planning a ball this weekend and hopes we can attend,” Jiang Qingyue clenched his backpack strap, “Are you going?”

Ren Shuhan felt wronged: “Didn’t we agree to go out just the two of us?”

Honey, are you going to stand me up on our first date Q Q?

“In that case, let’s not go,” Jiang Qingyue paused for a moment, then smiled happily, and finally felt a bit melancholic, “If they found out he’s an Omega, my parents should be happy now. Their relationship will slowly repair.”

Ren Shuhan really wanted to hug him: “Have your parents contacted you?”

“Not yet.”

“I will always be your family.” Ren Shuhan picked up his schoolbag, put it together with his own, and placed them in the bicycle basket. He patted Jiang Qingyue’s head, “Hold on to me later, don’t grab the bike seat.”

“Hmm,” Jiang Qingyue obediently said, “I’m not sad. I can’t even remember them clearly now… It just used to feel a bit wronged when I thought about it, but now I don’t feel it’s unfair anymore.”

Because I have you by my side, my heart is filled with sweetness.

Unintentionally, he had spoken from the depths of his heart. But he didn’t regret it because he wanted to act cute and seek comfort from him, because perhaps this way… he wouldn’t leave him like his parents did and go to be with Song Xici.

Ren Shuhan didn’t have such twisted thoughts in his mind. He was simple, all he wanted to do was ride his bike.

“Well,” Ren Shuhan unlocked the bike, but held onto the handlebar, “Where should we go tomorrow?”

“To… the zoo?” Jiang Qingyue secretly thought that other couples would go there, “Do you like it?”

“I like going anywhere with you,” Ren Shuhan found a reason, “But the hospital isn’t close to there, right? My house is closer, so why don’t you stay at my place tonight? We can have more time to play tomorrow.”

Jiang Qingyue blushed again, and the sweetness in the air became stronger.

It seemed like it was too good to be true. If his brother found out, he might scold him. If his parents found out, they might look down on him. But he still didn’t want to refuse, so he nodded.

“That’s great…” After a while, Ren Shuhan still didn’t move. He even directly stopped the bike and leaned closer to Jiang Qingyue, whispering, “Can I smell you?”

He’s just too sweet.

And he’s so greedy.

Jiang Qingyue nodded again.

Since they spent quite some time after school, there weren’t many students left in the school bike shed. It was a secluded place, and as long as they only smelled each other, it should be fine… Umm!

Jiang Qingyue smelled the scent of wine.

It seemed a bit sweet as well, but the predominant sensation was a spicy one.

He didn’t drink alcohol, never had before, and didn’t know what would happen if he did.

But Ren Shuhan knew that even if his baby drank just a little red wine, he would get drunk and become very candid.

After a while, Jiang Qingyue lifted his head and asked, “Can I also smell you?”

“Because otherwise, pulling out a long-handled shovel from his backpack would have been too nonsensical.” My brother, this is still nonsensical o(>< )o

But it’s fine tho, the ending was cute
