My Crush is My Childhood Friend Alpha 28

Chapter 28

Yan Weiqiu lay on the sofa, drowsy.

Jiang Yuebai was cooking lunch in the kitchen, the aroma of food filling the air.

Yan Weiqiu couldn’t remember the last time he had a proper meal. He had been in a daze these past few days because of his heat.

The midday news on TV was making him sleepy.

Exhaustion weighed heavily on his eyelids, and he soon drifted off.

Jiang Yuebai covered him with a blanket and took the remote control from his hand.

He crouched beside the sofa, quietly watching Yan Weiqiu’s peaceful sleeping face.

The missing piece in his heart was slowly being filled.

His Xiaoqiu had finally returned to him.

He could have taken Xiaoqiu to the hospital, given him suppressants, and not gone all the way.

But he had.

He had left his mark on Xiaoqiu.

He had become Xiaoqiu’s Alpha.

The moment he learned Xiaoqiu was an Omega, he had to admit, he was overjoyed.

He couldn’t wait to mark him.

Jiang Yuebai gently touched his face, tracing his features, his heart aching at the dark circles under his eyes. He placed a gentle kiss on his forehead and returned to the kitchen.

Yan Weiqiu only dared to open his eyes after he left. Jiang Yuebai’s presence was too strong; he couldn’t ignore it.

Recalling the intimate moments they had shared during his heat, he still felt an indescribable sense of shame around Jiang Yuebai.

They had done it while he was lost in the throes of his heat.

And they had done it while he was conscious.

He clearly remembered how Jiang Yuebai had marked him.

He clearly remembered how Jiang Yuebai had touched every inch of his skin.

He clearly remembered how he had been coaxed by Jiang Yuebai, again and again.

His glands were still covered in bite marks from Jiang Yuebai.

Not just his glands, but also his waist, chest, inner thighs, calves, ankles, even his wrists, all bore visible marks.

He had been pampered since childhood, never having to do any chores at home. His skin was fair and delicate, easily bruised.

And Jiang Yuebai seemed to have a particular fondness for leaving these marks on him.

Overnight, their relationship had jumped from friendship to intimacy, just short of a permanent mark.

He did like Jiang Yuebai, but he hadn’t expected things to progress so quickly.

Jiang Yuebai used to at least try to restrain his gaze, but now he didn’t even bother pretending.

The intensity of his gaze made Yan Weiqiu feel uneasy.

Footsteps approached, and Yan Weiqiu quickly closed his eyes.

When in doubt, play dead.

He would pretend to be asleep until the end.

“Weren’t you just saying you were hungry?” Jiang Yuebai gently scratched his nose, stared at his face for a moment, and smiled faintly. “Eat first, then sleep?”

Yan Weiqiu: “…”

Jiang Yuebai knew he was pretending.

Just as he was thinking about how to pretend to be waking up, Jiang Yuebai chuckled softly, and a warm kiss landed on his lips.

Yan Weiqiu’s eyelashes fluttered, his heart pounding. He hadn’t expected Jiang Yuebai to kiss him, so he instinctively pressed his lips together.

Jiang Yuebai’s hand slipped under his shirt, gently caressing his waist.

Yan Weiqiu: “!!!”

Cool fingertips traced his sensitive waistline.

Yan Weiqiu was forced to open his mouth, and Jiang Yuebai greedily sucked on his tongue, exploring every corner of his mouth.

This was clearly cheating!

Jiang Yuebai held his chin, preventing him from escaping.

Seeing that struggling was futile, Yan Weiqiu gradually gave up resisting, his mind hazy from the kiss. He didn’t even react when they finally parted.

Jiang Yuebai continued nibbling his lips.

“Mmm.” Yan Weiqiu pushed him away and murmured softly, “No more.”

His face was flushed, his eyes hazy, his lips slightly swollen, his breath coming in short gasps.

Jiang Yuebai’s thumb gently wiped his moist lips, his Adam’s apple bobbing, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Yan Weiqiu immediately reacted and pushed him away.

“What are you doing?”

His voice was a mixture of annoyance and coquettishness.

Jiang Yuebai wrapped his arms around his waist, burying his face in his neck, inhaling his pheromones, and murmured, “So sweet.”

Yan Weiqiu pursed his lips shyly and said awkwardly, “Don’t say such things.”

But he still didn’t push him away.

He just let Jiang Yuebai hold him, at a loss for what to do.

It wasn’t until his stomach growled that Jiang Yuebai finally released him.

“Let’s eat first.”

Jiang Yuebai ate quickly and then started peeling shrimp for him.

Yan Weiqiu watched him, silent.

Jiang Yuebai glanced at him and smiled. “Is there anything you want to ask me?”

“Why did you accept me being an Omega so easily, and even…” Yan Weiqiu couldn’t bring himself to say it.

“Because I like you.”

“I think about you every second of every day.”

“I want to hug you, kiss you.”

Jiang Yuebai looked at him intently, his tone serious.

Yan Weiqiu felt awkward.

He knew he couldn’t keep avoiding the issue. He liked Jiang Yuebai, he had liked him for a long, long time.

And he was very dependent on Jiang Yuebai, enjoying being taken care of by him.

“Mmm.” Yan Weiqiu hesitated, then decided to be honest. “But I’m not used to it yet; I need some time to adjust.”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Yuebai could see his stiffness, but he didn’t mind. He just hoped Yan Weiqiu wouldn’t push him away again.

After dinner, Yan Weiqiu curled up on the sofa, watching a movie and absentmindedly eating the fruit platter Jiang Yuebai had prepared for him.

How could it be okay?

Was there a generation gap between them?

Or did they just view things differently?

The next second, he got his answer.

After coming out of the kitchen, Jiang Yuebai walked over and simply picked him up.

Then he found himself sitting in Jiang Yuebai’s lap.

Jiang Yuebai nuzzled against him, ignoring his stiffness, and kissed him thoroughly.

So, of course, Jiang Yuebai thought it was “okay.”

It turned out he was the only one feeling awkward.

Jiang Yuebai held his chin, chuckling at his pouting expression. “What are you thinking about?”

Yan Weiqiu snorted and glared at him.

Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but kiss his cheek and asked, “When did you find out you were an Omega?”

“After the college entrance exams, I had a fever one day, and my mom took me to the hospital. The doctor said I might undergo secondary differentiation.” Yan Weiqiu glared at him resentfully and muttered, “It’s all your fault.”

“Huh?” Jiang Yuebai looked at him, puzzled.

“The doctor said it was because I spent too much time with an Alpha and was affected by their pheromones, which triggered the differentiation.” Yan Weiqiu punched him lightly. “Affected by Alpha pheromones? Then I should have differentiated into an Alpha, right? Why did I become an Omega?”

Jiang Yuebai paused. “It’s better to be an Omega.”

Yan Weiqiu’s eyes widened in surprise, his face full of accusation. “You said you wouldn’t care about my secondary gender! Liar!”

Jiang Yuebai looked at him silently for a few seconds, then explained, “I wouldn’t care, but you would. Alphas are naturally repelled by each other.”

Yan Weiqiu: “I…”

Jiang Yuebai smiled faintly. “If I forced myself to stay by your side, you would be uncomfortable, maybe even run away. So I’m glad you differentiated into an Omega.”

As if his thoughts had been exposed, Yan Weiqiu looked away guiltily and didn’t say anything.

Jiang Yuebai gently held the back of his neck and squeezed his glands softly. “Do you blame me? If it weren’t for me always clinging to you, you wouldn’t have differentiated into an Omega.”

“What are you talking about?!” Yan Weiqiu hesitated, then said softly, his voice full of emotion, “When you presented as an Alpha, I was hoping I would differentiate into an Omega so we could be together forever.”

Unfortunately, he had presented as a Beta. Because of their secondary genders, they had gone through so much, so many misunderstandings.

Jiang Yuebai didn’t say anything for a long time. Yan Weiqiu couldn’t help but look up at him, only to see him grinning foolishly.

Yan Weiqiu: “???”

“What are you doing?” Yan Weiqiu tugged on his clothes.

Jiang Yuebai cupped his face and kissed him repeatedly, smiling triumphantly. “So Xiaoqiu has liked me since he was little?”

Yan Weiqiu: “…”

You’re good at picking out the important points.
