Chapter 88 I'm Teaching You
Xie Xingchen's eyes were deep and thoughtful.
He looked down at Lin Yao, who still had his usual expressionless face. But when he looked up at him, his eyes were upturned, cold and indifferent, yet both intriguing and innocent.
"You have dreams like this?" he asked hoarsely, restraining himself from running his fingers through his hair.
Before Lin Yao learned from him, he revealed the sharp tip of his tiger teeth and suddenly bit down.
...He's gone mad.
Lin Yao must never be allowed to drink again.
Xie Xingchen pulled the person closer, and warned in a low voice, "Don't do this, I can't resist being seduced like this."
“You made me do it,” Lin Yao accused him. “I didn’t tell you, but you insisted.”
"That was my mistake." Xie Xingchen bent over, pulled the person into his arms, and buried his head in their chest.
"Hold me for a while."
Lin Yao remained motionless while he held him.
His mind was hazy, yet he enjoyed this closeness, so he raised his hand and wrapped it around the other person's waist: "Xie Xingchen, if I don't let you do it, are you uncomfortable?"
Xie Xingchen hadn't expected him to bring up this topic so bluntly while drunk. He paused for a second, then sighed and said, "No, what are you thinking?"
Lin Yao said whatever came to mind: "You're sick. You need an Omega, but no matter how much I try to mentally prepare myself, I can't break through your psychological defenses. I still have the concept of an Alpha in my mind. Are you going to hate me because you're so frustrated?"
He would never say such things when he was sober; he always kept his inner thoughts tightly sealed, and only now was he revealing a hint of them.
"What are you thinking about all day long?" Xie Xingchen stepped back slightly, looked him straight in the eyes, and corrected his misconception. "There are many ways to make me feel good, not just one."
Lin Yao looked at him, puzzled.
Xie Xingchen explained, "I admit, my mind was full of extremely nasty thoughts, like just now. But there were also many times when I was very happy. When you depended on me, trusted me, and were willing to unconditionally give yourself to me, like that day when you were trembling so much but still let me touch you."
He leaned closer and chuckled, "Lin Yao, it feels amazing to see you under my control."
Lin Yao saw the undercurrent surging in his eyes.
Xie Xingchen frankly revealed his dark side: "I'm much more perverted than you imagine. Physiologically, I'm the most primitive kind. If I wanted, highly compatible pheromones could make you surrender, but I don't like that."
"I want you, who are usually indifferent, to open up to me, approach me with passion, and be unable to control your feelings."
"You know what? This kind of Lin Yao, who is only visible to me, can make me feel insanely happy. Lin Yao, you're starting to show signs of that now. I saw it the moment you climbed through the window and stepped into my house that day."
Lin Yao felt his heart pounding. He couldn't understand it, yet he was thrilled by what was being said.
He still couldn't figure out what Xie Xingchen's feelings for him were. It seemed to be more than just mutual help when they were sick, nor was it pure liking. It was complicated, wrapped in the most primal impulses, and mixed with the Alpha's innate desire to conquer.
"Xie Xingchen, are you mind-controlling me?" Lin Yao stared into his eyes.
Xie Xingchen placed a light kiss on his cheek and whispered, "I'm teaching you how to love."
No one engages in mind control; they hand over the choice to the other person. That's foolish.
If he doesn't like it, he can leave and walk away at any time, even though he himself is the one who is waiting in the same place with no certainty about the outcome.
"Have you seen Lin Yao? He seems to have drunk too much and left with Xie Xingchen." Li Kailang's voice came from outside the door. "I'm a little worried about him."
"No, only one of the cubicles inside is locked. They can't possibly be together in one room." The voice sounded like Duan Zheng's, and he said meaningfully, "That would be a repeat of the past."
Lin Yao reached out and grabbed the waist of his training uniform, mouthing in a daze, "We're going to be found out."
Xie Xingchen replied in a breathy voice, "Yes, this is also a kind of pleasure for me."
"What a pervert!" Lin Yao thought, his mind reeling. The four words "refined scoundrel" filled his head.
How could it be so easy to make him happy?
"Is anyone home?" There was a knock on the cubicle door, and Li Kailang said through the door, "Lin Yao, are you in there?"
Xie Xingchen lowered his eyes, looked at him, and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had no intention of helping.
Lin Yao turned his head and said coldly to the outside of the stall, "Are you rushing me to use the restroom?"
He was completely different from the person who had just clung to him and asked if he was feeling unwell. Xie Xingchen's fingers wandered through his hair, casually playing with it.
Li Kailang: "........."
After a few pauses, he tentatively said, "I was afraid you'd drink too much and throw up, or faint inside, so I didn't rush you. I'll just wait outside. Call me if you need anything."
Lin Yao frowned and complained, "This is so annoying."
Xie Xingchen lowered his eyes and remained silent. He had brought this trouble upon himself, so he would deal with it himself.
Lin Yao suppressed the rising alcohol in his throat and spoke again: "You should go back first. Xie Xingchen is next to me."
Upon hearing the direct shot, Xie Xingchen smiled, and the speed at which he wrapped his hair around the ball slowed down even further.
Probably not expecting this answer, Li Kailang paused for several seconds before uncertainly asking, "You two together? What are you doing inside?"
Lin Yao's gaze fell on his lifted training uniform, and he casually made up an excuse: "Let's see who has the best-looking abs."
Li Kailang thought to himself, "This guy must be really drunk. How bizarre!" He still asked politely, "...Did you finish the test?"
"No, I still need to touch it and test its feel," Lin Yao mumbled incoherently.
Xie Xingchen spoke slowly, reaching out to grab his hand and touching it to his body, smiling as he cooperated: "Come on, touch it for a while longer, compare it carefully."
Li Kailang really couldn't be cheerful. He couldn't see what was inside through the door, but just imagining it made him feel extremely eerie.
Two Alphas were touching each other and comparing their abs in a cubicle?
He himself had confirmed the relationship between the two Alphas very early on, so he was particularly sensitive. This behavior was no different from flirting during the ambiguous period.
But Lin Yao and Xie Xingchen's relationship is like oil and water, which doesn't seem like it.
He hesitated for a moment, then decided to bravely join in: "I have abs too, wanna compete?"
Lin Yao: ""
How could someone still keep up a conversation at a time like this? His palm was still on Xie Xingchen's body, the skin beneath it felt taut. He slid it back and forth a couple of times, not yet thinking of a reply, when he heard a commotion outside.
"What are you doing here?" someone asked.
"Lin Yao drank too much and was comparing abs with Xie Xingchen inside. I said I was pretty good at it too and wanted to have a competition with him." Li Kailang repeated the conversation from before.
Lin Yao: ".........."
"Calm down, murder is illegal." Xie Xingchen patted his flushed cheeks, kindly reminding him.
That guy outside is pretty crazy. Is this something a normal person would say?
As it turns out, you probably can't get into the Comprehensive Warfare Academy without being a bit of a lunatic. Duan Zheng swaggered from the restroom into the lobby with a microphone in hand: "Thank you everyone for coming. Eat and drink well. Now let's play some games. I heard that our Comprehensive Warfare Academy's bullies, Lin Yao and Xie Xingchen, are comparing their abs in the restroom right now. Come out and let us see them too."
The sound was quite loud and hard to ignore. Lin Yao suddenly opened the door and met Li Kailang's gaze outside.
If looks could kill, I would have stabbed the other person three hundred times over.
Xie Xingchen stood behind him with his hands in his pockets, clicked his tongue, and said, "This guy is too weak. He withdrew from the competition before even making a move."
"I didn't expect them..." Li Kailang opened his mouth, but was caught in the middle, feeling extremely embarrassed, "with such a big mouth."
Lin Yao, his drunkenness subsided somewhat, walked towards the hall with a blank expression.
"I told you it was just a joke because you were drunk, but you actually went." Li Kailang reached out to grab him, but Xie Xingchen blocked him by stepping aside.
As Duan Zheng watched the group walk through the corridor, he couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire and said, "Hey, they're here! Who won between you two? I'll have a contest too! Let's vote for a king of abs today!"
"Idiot," Xie Xingchen muttered under his breath.
"Could it be that you're too scared? You're first or second in training results, but you can't even show off your basic physical management?" Duan Zheng vented his resentment from his time on Nanhe Star in public. "That's just too lame."
He was very generous, smiling as he took off his shirt, head held high, exuding confidence.
The entire place was filled with cheers and jeers.
"Look, look, we're all Alphas, what's there to be shy about?"
"Exactly, let us see what it's like."
"Don't be so hesitant, you're not an Omega! Let's compare! Let's compare!"
When Lin Yao is drunk, he becomes particularly reckless. He doesn't want to talk and reaches out to pull on the zipper of his training uniform.
So annoying.
Xie Xingchen reached out and pressed his hand down, reminding him, "Stop it."
Lin Yao paused: "What are you doing?"
"It will be seen." Xie Xingchen pointedly referred to the traces left behind.
"No, I have to win." Lin Yao said each word slowly and deliberately, his competitive spirit intensified by the alcohol.
Things that I would find incredibly stupid once I'm fully awake, I'm currently clinging to.
"Win, I'll help you win."
Xie Xingchen slid the zipper of his jacket down and threw it aside. He then grabbed the collar of his T-shirt and pulled it off halfway through his clothes.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and well-defined abdominal muscles.
His tanned skin exuded a strong masculine aura under the soft lighting.
His gaze slowly fell on Duan Zheng, and he commented.
"A boiled chicken carcass, and you still have the nerve to show it off? I'm ashamed of you."
