Chapter 30
The music in the KTV was deafening. Yan Weiqiu sat in a corner, eating fruit and watching his classmates sing and dance.
The student in front suddenly handed him the microphone. “Class monitor, sing with us!”
Yan Weiqiu refused repeatedly, pushing the microphone back. He shouted in his ear, “I’m tone-deaf, I can’t sing.”
The student in front nodded regretfully. “Okay.”
Beep beep—
Yan Weiqiu’s phone screen lit up. He opened the message.
Jiang Yuebai: Are you done?
Yan Weiqiu: Not yet, they’re planning to go for late-night snacks later.
Jiang Yuebai: Are you going?
Yan Weiqiu: No, I don’t want to. Why don’t you come pick me up now?
Jiang Yuebai: Mm, I’ll be there in a few minutes.
Seeing the smile on Yan Weiqiu’s face as he looked at his phone, the student in front leaned closer, glanced at his chat messages, and said with a smile, “Class monitor, you two have been together for so many years and you’re still so lovey-dovey, can’t even be apart for a while.”
Yan Weiqiu smiled noncommittally.
His deskmate looked at him carefully and smiled. “So, class monitor, are you officially together with Jiang Yuebai now?”
Yan Weiqiu raised an eyebrow, looking at him in surprise.
The deskmate covered his nose and moved a little further away. “Class monitor, you said before that you weren’t dating, but now… your Alpha pheromones are too strong. And I’m sure Jiang Yuebai deliberately left them on you.”
It was the same in high school; Jiang Yuebai loved leaving his scent on the class monitor.
But it wasn’t as aggressive as it was now, like he was telling everyone that the class monitor was his Omega, warning other Alphas to stay away.
Yan Weiqiu blushed slightly, clutching his scarf self-consciously.
He had noticed the marks Jiang Yuebai had left on his neck when he went to the bathroom before leaving, so he had to wear a scarf.
It was cold now anyway, so wearing a scarf wasn’t strange.
His deskmate gave his neck a meaningful look and chuckled softly. “Jiang Yuebai’s possessiveness is still as strong as ever.”
Student in front: “Oh, Jiang Yuebai has always been like that. Those who had a crush on the class monitor were all warned off by him. By the way, class monitor, do you remember the person who anonymously confessed to you on the school forum and confession wall before the college entrance exams?”
Yan Weiqiu nodded. “Yes, what about it?”
Student in front: “I heard that person was an Alpha from Jiang Yuebai’s class, the short one who wears glasses, sitting near the window. And I also heard that Jiang Yuebai beat him up after the college entrance exams.”
Yan Weiqiu froze, suddenly remembering the face he had glimpsed when he passed by Class 3. So it wasn’t his imagination.
He hadn’t taken the matter seriously, but it seemed there was more to the story.
Just then, Jiang Yuebai called.
Yan Weiqiu hung up and said to his classmates, “I’ll be going then. Happy New Year in advance, everyone.”
“Ah? Leaving so soon?”
“We’re going for late-night snacks later, aren’t you coming, class monitor?”
“Just by looking at the class monitor, I can tell he has a date.”
“Is it Jiang Yuebai from Class 3?”
“Who else could it be? The class monitor is sitting so far away from me, and I can still smell Jiang Yuebai’s pheromones on him!”
“Remember to invite us to your wedding, class monitor!”
Yan Weiqiu smiled awkwardly and quickly left.
Jiang Yuebai’s car was parked downstairs. Yan Weiqiu opened the passenger door and got in. “Have you been waiting long?”
“No.” Jiang Yuebai placed the hot milk tea he had bought in Yan Weiqiu’s hand to warm his hands.
Yan Weiqiu leaned closer and kissed him, smiling. “Let’s go home.”
It was very late when they got home. The lights were off, and the house was quiet. Jiang Yuebai thought Fang Xiu was asleep and didn’t dare to disturb her. He was about to leave when Yan Weiqiu grabbed his hand.
“Are you leaving?”
“Mm.” Jiang Yuebai patted his head, his voice full of reluctance. “I’ll come over for breakfast tomorrow? Can you get up? It’s okay if we have lunch instead.”
Yan Weiqiu bit his straw, a conflicted expression on his face. He hesitated for a long time.
Jiang Yuebai raised an eyebrow playfully. “Do you want me to stay?”
Yan Weiqiu’s heart raced, and he muttered softly, “My mom’s not home tonight.”
“So?” Jiang Yuebai quickly caught on, his gaze fixed on him, his dark eyes unreadable.
Yan Weiqiu could feel his face burning. He looked away and hummed softly, “So you can leave.”
Jiang Yuebai turned his face back, held his chin, and gently bit his lip, a chuckle escaping his throat. “With you here, where else would I go?”
Click—
The door closed.
The dim light made it hard for Yan Weiqiu to see Jiang Yuebai’s face clearly.
He swallowed nervously.
He was the one who had asked him to stay, but now he had the urge to run away.
Jiang Yuebai didn’t give him time to change his mind. A passionate kiss landed on his lips, overwhelming him with desire. Yan Weiqiu was forced to open his mouth, his mind blank from the heat of the kiss, and he could only close his eyes obediently.
His jacket slipped off his shoulders, and hot kisses trailed down his back.
The sweet Omega pheromones emanated from his neck, filling the room. Jiang Yuebai’s swallowing sound was clearly audible. The next second, Alpha canines pierced his glands, injecting pheromones.
Yan Weiqiu’s breath hitched, his body trembling uncontrollably in Jiang Yuebai’s arms.
After the marking was complete, Jiang Yuebai licked his glands repeatedly.
His warm breath brushed against Yan Weiqiu’s ear, and he gently nibbled his soft earlobe.
“Xiaoqiu.”
“I love you.”
A tingling sensation spread throughout his body, and Yan Weiqiu trembled and sobbed uncontrollably.
Waves of pleasure washed over him, his face flushed a beautiful shade of red, like a ripe peach, exuding a sweet fragrance.
In this room, on Yan Weiqiu’s bed.
Jiang Yuebai’s remaining rationality crumbled.
This room held too many memories for them.
Overwhelmed with excitement, the Alpha’s eyes turned red as he looked down at the person he had longed for, his empty desires filled with love. Jiang Yuebai licked his lips, a look of contentment on his face.
“Xiaobai,” Yan Weiqiu sobbed softly, his voice broken.
“Mm?” Jiang Yuebai gently wiped away his tears, holding him tightly and releasing soothing pheromones.
The scent of lime and sweet orange mingled and spread in the air.
“Mark me, Xiaobai.”
“Permanently.”
