Chapter 49
In the spring, Haicheng University was a riot of color, with lush green trees providing ample shade.
The tree-lined avenues were filled with young people enjoying the spring, and Pei Tingyu parked his car in front of the flower beds of Building A, a group of college students walking toward him.
The young people in their early twenties were in groups of three or five, talking and laughing without a care in the world, their playful voices echoing through the clouds.
It was still early spring, and the temperature difference between day and night was large. A few students had already changed into summer shorts and T-shirts, their exposed muscles bulging, glowing with a healthy wheat color.
Their pheromones were released freely on campus, but because the scent was clean and pure, it wasn’t unpleasant. Instead, it attracted the curious glances of passing Betas and Omegas.
Passing by Pei Tingyu, and seeing the low-key but rare license plate of the car behind him, the Alphas raised their eyebrows and whistled at him.
Pei Tingyu leaned against the car door, watching them leave with a leisurely air.
The bell rang for the end of class, and the students in the teaching building poured out like a tide.
All kinds of pheromones instantly mixed together, and then, under the effect of the scent-blocker, they slowly evolved into a bland, water-like taste.
The man crossed his arms, his calm and quiet gaze locked on the exit.
The Alpha’s temperament was superb. His broad shoulders and chest filled out the half-open black shirt. His features were high-set and deep, but they exuded an aloof, ascetic coldness.
Most importantly, the wedding ring on his left ring finger was incredibly shiny, making several eager Omegas immediately give up the idea of striking up a conversation and leave in disappointment.
Pei Tingyu’s gaze searched among the students pouring out. When a flash of white appeared, he immediately caught his figure.
But when he saw the young man clearly, he was stunned for a rare moment.
A naive and clear smile was on the Omega’s face. He had his head tilted, talking to the girl beside him.
He didn’t know what the two were talking about, but the young man’s shoulder suddenly twitched, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth deepened.
The young people, in the prime of their youth, walked side by side, their soft laughter and words a perfect complement to the clear and bright sunlight. It was as beautiful as a painting, and no one could step into it.
A subtle displeasure appeared in Pei Tingyu’s dark eyes.
A dark emotion churned in his blood, faintly sounding a warning.
If his precious ever grew tired of him and wanted to leave, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to let go.
Perhaps the Alpha’s gaze was too intense. The Omega who was being watched soon sensed it. A brilliant smile immediately appeared on his face. He quickly said something to the person beside him and then ran toward the man.
The wind blew his pale gold hair back, and even the red mole at the corner of his forehead was clearly visible. The young man’s cherry-pink eyes were clear and moist, filled with a bright joy.
Like a tired bird returning to its nest, Bai Yan passed everyone in an instant and ran straight to his husband.
He raised his smiling face, stretched out his arms, and threw himself directly at Pei Tingyu. “Xian sheng!”
Bai Yan wrapped his arms around Pei Tingyu’s waist and buried himself deep in his embrace, his head in his strong, broad chest, his soft hair rubbing gently.
The jasmine pheromones did not hide their affection. They were released into the air, and even if they would immediately melt into the taste of plain water, they had to rush to their Alpha.
The young man had suddenly thrown himself into his arms. Pei Tingyu was stunned for a moment, but he had already reflexively moved forward and wrapped his arms around the young man’s waist and back, barely standing firm with his strong core.
He caught him.
A low chuckle escaped the man’s throat, and the darkness in his heart completely disappeared.
Pei Tingyu lowered his head and pecked at his precious’s hair, asking softly, “What’s wrong?”
The familiar scent of orange blossom filled his nostrils. The sourness in his heart suddenly found a place to land. The young man’s eyes grew hot, and tears almost fell.
Xian sheng, xian sheng, if I hadn’t accidentally found out this time, how long were you planning to hide it from me? A lifetime?
You are so good to me. I can only love you, and love you more.
The young man suppressed the sourness in his heart and said with a slight lilt at the end of his voice, “Nothing. I just suddenly missed you so much and wanted to see you sooner.”
The warm orange blossom pheromones instantly became rich, weaving an impenetrable net around the young man.
The beautiful, slender Omega and the tall, strong Alpha held each other tightly.
The young man was buried in the man’s chest, his expression unclear, but the man’s doting and gentle expression was enough to make the passersby scream with envy in their hearts.
Bai Yan was immersed in his complex emotions. It was a long time before he noticed the gazes around them. He quickly let go and took a few steps back, blushing.
The young man lowered his head, the corners of his eyes still a little red and moist. His lashes drooped in embarrassment, and his pale hair half-covered his features, making him look even more like a shy little rabbit.
“Alright, let’s go. We’ll eat out tonight.” Pei Tingyu chuckled softly and opened the passenger door for Bai Yan.
“Okay.” Bai Yan composed himself, a brilliant smile returning to his face as he got into the car.
The high-end restaurant was incredibly quiet. The well-trained waiters served all the dishes and then slowly retreated.
In the vast, Chinese-style hall, only the clear sound of a guzheng echoed. The two of them chatted amidst the melodious music. Bai Yan talked about the interesting things at school, and when he got excited, his eyes curved into two crescent moons.
Pei Tingyu listened patiently and, pretending to be casual, mentioned the girl who had walked out of the building with him just now.
The naive Omega was completely unaware of the class president’s gaze and said with a smile that she was a very good friend.
The setting sun unconsciously sank into a sea of clouds, and the orange-red glow radiated, reflecting a brilliant color on the transparent window glass.
Bai Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn’t help but look out into the distance.
From the 65th floor, he had a panoramic view of the surrounding buildings. The tall buildings were dyed different colors by the afterglow, and the stream of traffic in the distance converged into a colorful ribbon of light, each pouring into different places.
The young man was stunned by the beauty he had never seen before and couldn’t bear to blink.
But the man’s gaze was always quiet and gentle, fixed on the young man.
After dinner, the two of them took a private elevator to the underground garage.
They walked back the way they had come, but in the place where the black sedan had been parked, it had been replaced by a deep blue sports car.
The sports car was unexpectedly high-profile. The body was a black and blue color scheme, the front was low, the back was high, and the chassis was low, making the lines particularly smooth. It sparkled under the lights, and Bai Yan didn’t recognize the car’s logo, but it radiated a “looks very expensive” glow.
Pei Tingyu tapped the car door with his bent finger and said with satisfaction, “It was sent for repairs a few days ago. It’s passable.”
Then he opened the passenger door, turned to the stunned young man, raised an eyebrow, and made an inviting gesture.
A faint smile appeared in the man’s eyes. “Do you want to go for a spin? The weather is very good tonight.”
He had specially asked Li Xiaoxiao to check the Omega’s heart before, to confirm that there would be no problems. He had also checked the young man’s class schedule for tomorrow before preparing tonight’s itinerary.
Bai Yan couldn’t believe his eyes. His eyes lit up, and he nodded eagerly. “Yes, yes!”
After the young man had fastened his seatbelt, Pei Tingyu suddenly stepped on the gas. The sports car shot forward and rushed out of the underground garage.
Just before night fell, the two of them successfully reached the foot of the mountain track.
The Pagani passed the intersection at the foot of the mountain, and the car’s speed suddenly increased. The trees and streetlights on either side flew by, gradually merging into a blurry ribbon of light.
This mountain was the Pei family’s private track, and every curve was carefully designed and maintained by professionals.
There was no one on the road. The supercar had an unobstructed path, taking one curve after another, the tires clinging to the winding mountain road, making a sharp, piercing sound against the ground.
The roar of the engine and the wind howled in Bai Yan’s ears. The sports car continued to climb the mountain, his adrenaline soaring, his heart beating to the extreme.
It was too exciting!
The young man’s mind went blank. He was completely immersed in the thrill of his first time racing. He didn’t even dare to blink. It wasn’t until the sports car had taken several more curves that he turned his gaze back to Pei Tingyu.
The Alpha’s thin lips were slightly pursed, his gaze calmly fixed on the road ahead. His large hand held the steering wheel firmly, his knuckles well-defined, his wrist broad and powerful, and you could faintly see the bulging veins.
Even though the speed had already reached its peak, the man’s face was as calm and composed as ever.
A thug in a suit. The words couldn’t help but pop into Bai Yan’s mind.
The young man clutched his heart, which was about to leap out of his throat, pressed his lips together, and slowly turned his head, unable to stop smiling to himself.
What should I do? My husband is too charming.
I like him so much. Every day, I like him more than the last.
After the high-speed race, the supercar reached the mountaintop. With the sound of the brakes, the sports car came to a beautiful drift at the top of the mountain.
The sharp, piercing roar instantly broke the silence of the night sky, and then slowly returned to silence.
Bai Yan patted his chest to calm his excited breathing and announced loudly, “That was so exciting! I loved it!”
Bai Yan almost couldn’t control the scream inside him. His whole small face was flushed with excitement. He opened the car door and took several steps out in one breath.
“Xian sheng, I never would have thought you had such an out-of-character hobby!”
He had previously thought that his husband’s talk of racing and supercars in the garage were all jokes.
“Very surprised,” Pei Tingyu said, closing the door and slowly following the young man’s steps, his tone a little teasing. “Have I already reached the age where I should be drinking tea and taking care of my health?”
“How could that be? Of course not! I like drinking tea.” Bai Yan turned his head to explain seriously, but when he met the man’s smiling eyes, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
The young man added in his heart, my husband is a spicy chocolate. Every time, there’s a new surprise.
The mountaintop was a huge, circular viewing platform. It was professionally maintained, without even a single fallen leaf in the woods.
This mountain forest was far from the city, and light pollution did not contaminate this quiet little world. There were only a few warm yellow, carved street lamps for lighting.
The stars above were like countless brilliant diamonds, scattered across the silk-like night sky.
The green of the mountain was hidden in the darkness, swaying in the mountain breeze, making a rustling sound. Bai Yan held onto the railing, letting the mountain breeze blow past his ears, and couldn’t help but close his eyes, sinking into the breath of the forest.
The young man’s pale gold hair melted into the night wind, his porcelain-white skin almost transparent, so beautiful he was like an elf born of the mountain forest.
Pei Tingyu was silent, draping his suit jacket over Bai Yan’s shoulder, his gaze quietly tracing the young man’s face.
The night closed in, and the world was silent. They were both admiring the scenery in their own eyes.
It wasn’t until the hands of his watch were almost at nine o’clock that Pei Tingyu couldn’t help but speak, gently reminding the young man that it was time to go home.
“Xian sheng.” Bai Yan called out to him softly.
“Mm?”
Bai Yan’s gaze was fervent. He clenched his fists to gather his courage and, before the man could continue, he suddenly stood on his tiptoes and leaned toward Pei Tingyu.
A sudden warmth on his lips, and the man’s breathing instantly stopped.
The next moment, before the young man could react, his large hand had already wrapped around the Omega’s waist.
There was no longer any gap between them, their lips pressed tightly together. But the man made no further move, as if he wanted to continue, and also as if he were waiting.
It was as if to say, if you’re unwilling, you can stop now.
Bai Yan was only surprised for a moment. He then let go of his fists and instead gripped the man’s collar, tilted his head back, and obediently offered himself up.
Xian sheng, my xian sheng, you can do whatever you want to me.
