Chapter 47
Bai Yan had something on his mind. After sending Lin Yu off and finishing his meal, he couldn’t even get into his book. His mind was blank, and he lay flat on his back on the hospital bed like a starfish.
Even if Bai Yan’s knowledge of gender was poor, he understood that when Sister Xiaoxiao had looked at him with that racy expression and said “be prepared,” she definitely didn’t mean anything simple.
He could only be glad that Mr. Pei had gone back to the company first and that he had gone for the check-up alone. Otherwise, where would he have hidden himself, QAQ.
An Omega’s heat could either be managed with suppressants or by receiving an Alpha’s complete marking. Unlike an Alpha’s rut, even a temporary mark was useless at this time.
After he had presented, he had only had a few heats in total.
During those few special periods, he had followed the procedure: submitting a report to the school to request leave, preparing suppressants and nutrient solutions, and staying alone in a special Omega hotel for a few days.
But the effect of the suppressants was unstable, and there would always be a day when they would fail.
Sister Xiaoxiao was clearly telling him that this heat, coinciding with his gland’s second development, would probably render even the most effective suppressants useless.
He had to accept Mr. Pei’s complete marking!
His heat, according to its previous frequency, would be next month.
But this was too sudden. A wave of heat rose in the young man’s cheeks. He raised his hand to cover his blushing face, but it was a futile attempt. The heat just escaped from his ears.
How was he going to tell Mr. Pei?
The young man pulled the covers over his body and rolled to the left.
Even though we’ve only been in a relationship for two days, can you mark me first because my heat is coming soon?
No! The Omega’s pupils trembled. He clutched the corner of the quilt and rolled to the right.
Mr. Pei will definitely think I’m a super pervert.
Just thinking about it is social suicide!
He and Mr. Pei had just confirmed their relationship.
According to the dating process he had researched, it should be a gradual progression: first holding hands, then hugging, then kissing, and only then would there be further intimate contact.
Wait a minute—
Bai Yan jolted, suddenly realizing that he and Mr. Pei had already done all of these things.
They had even almost… last time.
The shy Omega couldn’t hold it in any longer. He screamed internally, hugged his pillow, and curled up deep under the covers, wiggling like a chrysalis.
Fortunately, the nurse had already done her rounds. Otherwise, she would have been scared to death by this white, suspicious lump.
When Pei Tingyu entered the room, he saw the Omega lying on the bed, hugging a pillow, his brow furrowed in a pensive expression, wondering what serious problem he was thinking about.
When he caught sight of him, he let go of the pillow and, with a carp flip, got up from the hospital bed.
Bai Yan’s eyes curved into a smile. He was about to subconsciously call out “Mr. Pei” when he suddenly remembered what the man had said before leaving and quickly closed his mouth.
The “Pei” rolled around in his throat and, with great effort, slipped out as “xian sheng.”
“…Xian sheng, what are you doing here?”
The Omega’s voice was filled with an irrepressible surprise. It was already dark outside, and he had thought the Alpha wouldn’t be coming back tonight.
The young man’s eyes sparkled. His wide pajamas slid down as he sat up, just enough to stop at his delicate, small collarbone, revealing a large area of delicate skin.
Paired with the young man’s naive and innocent expression, it was both pure and alluring.
“Mm, I’m free tonight.”
Pei Tingyu’s gaze darkened. He nonchalantly took off his suit jacket.
His well-defined hand pulled down his tie, then undid the top button of his shirt, then raised his hand to take off his watch, and slowly rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his sleek forearms.
The Alpha had changed into a clean, dark black suit before going to the company. The high-quality waistcoat enveloped the man’s firm waist and abdomen, and his two strong, long legs filled out the crisp suit trousers.
His usually neat hair was a little messy, a few strands falling loosely over his forehead. The man’s thin lips were slightly pursed, his brow furrowed, his indifferent expression containing the coolness of a cold night.
When he turned to look at Bai Yan, the coldness in his eyes had completely faded. In the warm light of the room, he looked exceptionally gentle.
The man chuckled to himself, pretending not to notice the young man’s blatant gaze.
He sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out to check the young man’s forehead, and asked in a warm voice, “Are you feeling better? How were the check-up results?”
Bai Yan had been looking up, quietly admiring the Alpha’s elegant, fluid movements.
Hearing Pei Tingyu’s words, his body suddenly stiffened. He obediently looked up and let the man’s hand touch his forehead.
But his lashes trembled in a panic, and he averted his gaze, mumbling softly, “Sister Xiaoxiao said there are no major problems… just let nature take its course.”
Mr. Pei, a complete marking… I really can’t say it right now.
The young man blinked guiltily and said to himself, Just wait a little longer, just a little longer.
A faint smile appeared in Pei Tingyu’s eyes. He knew his precious was shy again.
The man considerately didn’t press the issue, nor did he tell his precious that Li Xiaoxiao had sent him the check-up results as soon as they were out.
He took a small box out of his suit pants pocket and handed it to the young man.
Bai Yan looked down. It was a transparent plastic-sealed box, and inside was a lotus-shaped beaded bracelet.
The man’s eyes were dark and profound, his long, thick lashes covering his eyelids, his gaze focused and serious.
“A gift from a business partner. It’s nothing valuable. For Yanyan to wear, is that okay?”
The edges of the beads were a little rough. Compared to a valuable piece of jewelry, it was more like… some kind of charm for peace and safety.
The young man’s heart trembled. He pressed his lips together and obediently held out his hand. “Okay.”
Pei Tingyu lowered his gaze, took the young man’s slender wrist, and slowly slid the bracelet on. The gesture was so solemn it made Bai Yan a little dazed.
It was as if the man wasn’t putting a bracelet on him, but a wedding ring.
“There.” Pei Tingyu smiled, satisfied as he watched the bodhi beads perfectly circle the young man’s wrist.
The young man lowered his head, his fingertips carefully and preciously reaching out to touch the main bead. The bead was round and delicate, with a slight coolness, and it just circled his wrist.
The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He held up his wrist to show Pei Tingyu, his eyes curving into two crescent moons.
“It’s so beautiful. I like it very much.”
The man couldn’t help but pat the young man’s soft hair and said, “You don’t have to take it off when you shower.”
He asked, seemingly casually, “It’s getting late. Do you want to wash up?”
Bai Yan hadn’t yet realized the gravity of the situation. He looked at his phone. It was almost nine o’clock. It was indeed getting late.
If he showered quickly, he could still talk to Mr. Pei for a while before he left.
He nodded obediently. “I’ll go now.”
He threw back the covers in a few movements, took his clothes from the wardrobe, and was about to slip into the bathroom.
But Pei Tingyu called out to him from behind, a small box in his hand touching his shoulder.
The man’s magnetic voice held a hint of a helpless smile. “There are no personal clothes in the wardrobe.”
A wave of heat rose in Bai Yan’s cheeks. He didn’t dare to look at the Alpha and quickly took the small box, rushing to the bathroom.
After the bathroom door closed, the man’s forced expression showed a moment of unnaturalness. He swayed and suddenly collapsed onto the sofa.
An S-class Alpha’s constitution was indeed very good. With the medicine Pei Tingyu had applied, the injury on his hand had already healed, and there was no sign of injury.
But even the strongest physique, after a long journey, couldn’t be completely fine.
A stinging pain rose in his knee. The man’s brow furrowed tightly. He leaned back against the sofa and slowly let out a breath. But he had no regrets in his heart.
Bai Yan finished his shower, tore open the small box in a few movements, and blushed to find that even the size of the underwear was a perfect fit.
Oh my god, xian sheng, where on earth did you get these measurements!
He put on his clothes, not having time to think, and quickly washed the underwear he had changed out of, stuffing it into the special dryer.
Bang—
The bathroom door was pulled open by a slender, fair hand. White steam billowed out from the crack of the door.
“Xian sheng, I’m done washing.” Let’s talk some more.
The young man’s clear gaze was moist and bright. He looked at the man with wide eyes, his small face flushed from the heat. The jasmine pheromones, tinged with moisture, were exceptionally sweet and refreshing.
A drop of water that hadn’t been wiped away slid down from the tip of his pale gold hair and slowly flowed into his collar.
Pei Tingyu’s gaze darkened.
Just as Bai Yan was about to sit on the sofa, he saw Pei Tingyu quickly stand up, walk to the wardrobe, open the other side of the door, grab the clothes inside, and head to the bathroom.
Eh?!
He blinked blankly, his voice a little shaky. “Xian sheng, are you staying here tonight?”
“Mm,” the man raised an eyebrow in surprise and glanced at him slowly. “You have a check-up tomorrow morning. I’m not going back tonight.”
Bai Yan froze.
The young man looked around in a daze. There was only one bed in the large hospital room. It was obvious that Mr. Pei couldn’t sleep on the sofa.
Didn’t that mean they would be in the same room tonight, and even sleep in the same bed!
Is the progress so fast? I’m not mentally prepared, QAQ.
The hospital room was indeed not as soundproof as Yǎyuán. The sound of trickling water came through the bathroom door, and Bai Yan’s gaze unconsciously shifted to the steam-filled glass door.
On the other side, in the bathroom.
Cool water crashed down from above, rolling down his sleek body and into the valleys. The man’s strong muscles rose and fell with each breath, glowing with a healthy color in the warm light of the bathroom.
The jasmine pheromones in the bathroom were faint. Pei Tingyu’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. He silently turned the water temperature down a little.
But it was useless. The blood in his lower abdomen was surging, exceptionally excited, and the unvented desire was stirring.
Pei Tingyu lowered his gaze, his brow furrowed, his expression serious, his face struggling, as if dealing with the most difficult document.
After a long moment, the man reached out his hand.
The man’s gaze was incredibly dark, his mind uncontrollably replaying the image of the young man’s crystal-clear, hazy eyes, curved like a crescent moon, as hazy as mist.
His soft lips were moist, shining with water, and they would part slightly to softly call him “xian sheng.”
And… other things.
A rich scent of orange blossom quickly filled the bathroom, completely swallowing the faint residual scent of jasmine. But it wasn’t enough. It clamored, it craved, it wanted to seep through the crack of the door to taste the delicious young man outside.
After an unknown amount of time, his hand suddenly relaxed. The man’s sexy, low panting echoed in the bathroom, but it was covered by the sound of trickling water, and not a single sound escaped.
Pei Tingyu closed his eyes, letting the cold water flow over his body. The beast retreated back into the shadows, the rampaging pheromones disappearing completely, as if they had never been.
Not yet. It will scare my precious.
