Chapter 76 The kitten licks: but tries to mark

Several alphas were crammed into the not-so-spacious school clinic. They were all students who had brought Tan Yicheng there, and upon hearing this, they all quickly retreated.

Xi Congshuang closed the door behind her, and instead of immediately pulling back the bed curtains to check the situation, she walked to the medicine refrigerator, entered the password she knew by heart, and opened the door.

Secondary differentiation agent is a precious medicine that needs to be frozen for daily storage. The school clinic only has three vials, so how could it be left lying around on the medicine cabinet?

The refrigerator door opened, and a cold air wafted out.

Xi Congshuang reached out and grabbed the medicine box, preparing the medicine amidst muffled groans from inside the bed curtains.

Her hands are very steady; if someone who didn't know better saw her, they would think she was a professional who specialized in this field.

Instructor Lin was indeed bewitched. She had just locked the person on the bed and was about to leave when she saw this scene.

Hearing his girlfriend mention Xi Congshuang's name frequently, even more often than she mentioned herself, it was impossible for him not to care. With a complicated feeling, Instructor Lin said, "I didn't expect you to be so skilled."

Xi Congshuang said without changing her expression, "I studied pharmacy in college, so I still know the basic operations."

Since she was applying for the position of school doctor's assistant, she definitely needed to be fully prepared. In order not to give herself away and ruin her image, Xi Congshuang specially studied some techniques.

She never does anything she's not sure about.

Although she later discovered that the less skilled she was at the operation, the less likely she was to break character, she forgot that the original owner was actually a poor student whose grades barely met the minimum requirement.

This was hard for Xi Congshuang, who had never scored below 95 on a scale of several hundred or 130 on a scale of 150, to accept. She still gritted her teeth and studied the complete set of pharmacy knowledge, as well as the basic skills required for a school doctor's assistant.

She didn't reappear in front of Tan Yicheng until after she received her firearms license—as a school doctor's assistant.

However, her thoughtful assistant Gloria had romanticized everything as love, which Xi Congshuang was happy to see and gave her a raise.

As Instructor Lin left, Xi Congshuang pulled back the pure white bed curtains, revealing the scene inside the bed, and was immediately stunned.

The second differentiation after recovery came suddenly. Not only was Tan Yicheng unprepared, but even Dr. Wei Lin herself might not have been able to foresee it, because Tan Yicheng had already undergone the second differentiation and would maintain her original level for life.

Strictly speaking, the previous secondary differentiation was a failure, resulting in damage to the glands. If this one is included, it would be Tan Yicheng's third differentiation.

Can I say she truly lives up to her role as the female lead? I wonder how it will end.

She bet she would get through it safely.

It wasn't until Xi Congshuang truly took the current Tan Yicheng into her eyes again.

Unexpectedly, the alpha herself was handcuffed to the bed by the instructor with steel handcuffs. Despite her rough exterior, the instructor also carefully stuffed a towel around Tan Yicheng's wrists to prevent the alpha from hurting himself while struggling haphazardly during his differentiation period.

The prolonged high fever left Tan Yicheng without the strength to continue struggling. She lay exhausted on the bed, her eyelashes wet and the corners of her eyes red.

The collar of the disheveled white shirt was open, revealing a glimpse of her collarbone beneath the fabric, and her hair was also messy.

Seemingly sensing someone approaching, Tan Yicheng raised her wet face, her lips bitten until they were bloody, leaving behind broken wounds.

The person, so disheveled and helpless, looked over with blood-red eyes.

His pupils constricted, his eyes turned red, and an aggressive aura erupted, making anyone who saw him feel intimidated.

This was the first time Xi Congshuang truly felt the difference between an alpha and an ordinary person. If she were an alpha or an omega, she would be tightly entangled by an overwhelming amount of domineering pheromones.

Unfortunately, she was an unconscious beta who was focusing all her attention on Tan Yicheng, looking for an opportunity to inject her with the differentiation agent.

Contrary to her fragile and helpless appearance, Tan Yicheng's muscles are actually tense. Her seemingly lazy posture could trigger an immediate attack if anyone gets too close.

No wonder the students outside kept saying they couldn't hold her down, it was as difficult as holding down a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind as she continued to approach the alpha who was undergoing its third differentiation, still holding the syringe.

"Are you feeling unwell? Let me help you?" Xi Congshuang said as she moved closer.

She was unaware that she was invading the alpha's invisible territory; her scent had been clearly detected long before she reached the bedside.

Tan Yicheng couldn't hear what was being said outside; she stared intently at the familiar figure not far from the bed, her gaze focused and direct.

A strange emotion flashed through Xi Congshuang's mind; she actually mistook the person on the bed for a wounded cat that was begging to be petted but was also irritable.

"The potion will help you complete the division..." Before Xi Congshuang could finish speaking, suddenly, the person on the bed reached out and attacked her.

Xi Congshuang wasn't afraid of the other party reaching out, and even thought she was much better than a real stray cat, at least she didn't have sharp claws on her fingertips.

Grabbing the other's wrist and pulling her forcefully towards herself, Tan Yicheng, unable to break free, was pulled into Xi Congshuang's arms, which were filled with a faint fragrance.

She tried to use her other hand to maintain her balance, but found that the steel handcuffs had locked her other hand firmly, and she couldn't break free at all.

Her wildly struggling hands yanked the headboard, making a loud clanging noise. She's usually so well-behaved, but during this period of adjustment, she can be incredibly destructive.

Taking advantage of her moment of inattention, Xi Congshuang aimed the needle at the gland and pressed to administer the IV.

A slight stinging sensation came from the back of her neck. Tan Yicheng instinctively resisted at first, but was held firmly. A few seconds later, a gentle coolness spread from the glands on the back of her neck, and she immediately calmed down, like a cat whose neck had been scratched.

She lowered her moist eyes, and like a coward, pressed her face against Xi Congshuang's neck, desperately inhaling her scent to gain a sense of security.

If you can't resist, then find a comfortable place to curl up.

She was held tightly in someone's arms, and a pair of hands gently stroked her tense back, gradually calming her anxious heartbeat.

In a daze, she heard someone whispering in her ear, and after struggling to make out what they were saying, "Relax."

"It will be over soon, it will be over soon."

Are you trying to soothe a child?

After being overwhelmed by the powerful pheromones, Tan Yicheng finally regained some clarity. This was her first reaction when she was held in someone's arms. She was the first person who didn't want to leave like an adult.

The injection of the differentiation agent was only the first step. Just five minutes later, the pheromones that had been calmed down returned, constantly washing over the whole body, with a focus on the back of the neck.

Endless pain gripped her, the kind of pain that made her wish she could rip the glands off the back of her neck. Tan Yicheng bit her lower lip and began to endure it as she always did.

The remaining wound on her lip was bitten open a second time, and this time the pain was even more intense, but she seemed to be addicted to it, licking away the blood that oozed from her lips and continuing to bite.

Upon smelling the familiar scent, Tan Yicheng no longer displayed extreme aggression. Instead, she instinctively chose to endure it because she did not want to hurt anyone.

Xi Congshuang noticed the back under her palm trembling slightly, realized something, helped the person up, and sure enough saw the lips that she had bitten into a mess. Without thinking, she stuffed her own fingers between Tan Yicheng's teeth.

"If you're going to bite, bite my hand."

Tan Yicheng was busy fighting against pheromones and began to slowly cleanse and gather the glands.

Suddenly being helped up and pulled away from her beloved embrace, she thought she had been scolded, so she could only sadly open her teeth, her eyelashes drooping with tears, silently grieving.

"..."

Xi Congshuang was once again distressed about why she wasn't an alpha, and she didn't know if all alphas suffered this much during their second differentiation. She wished she could empathize with him so she could know how to alleviate Tan Yicheng's pain.

She was forced to stand by and watch the person she loved suffer alone, her heart burning with anguish.

But if she were an alpha or omega, there would be no way she could stay here and accompany her through her second differentiation period.

After going around in circles, she's back to square one. Because she's a beta, she's able to stay and keep Tan Yicheng company.

Finding herself increasingly unable to bear seeing Tan Yicheng wronged, Xi Congshuang pulled him back into her arms, her burning face and neck skin making intimate contact, yet she didn't seem to mind the heat.

Tan Yicheng, whose body temperature was getting hotter and hotter, murmured that it was so hot, but hugged Xi Congshuang tightly.

Xi Congshuang had no choice but to raise her wrist and send a message through her smart device while still being firmly entangled by the octopus. A moment later, she received a reply, but she didn't look at it again.

It's not that I don't want to watch it, it's that I can't watch it.

The person buried in Xi Congshuang's neck let out a low groan, mumbling that it was hot, and driven by instinct, bit down on the side of Xi Congshuang's neck, tasting the faint flavor of blood with their canine teeth.

Xi Congshuang hissed softly, but did not push him away.

According to the information she had read, this should be an instinctive marking. Alphas in the differentiation period, whose thoughts are in disarray, are prone to instinctively marking the nearest omega. The pheromones released will not be much, at most it can be considered a temporary marking.

This is why alphas are required to stay alone in a room where they are not affected by anyone during their secondary differentiation. Staying with an alpha makes it easy to fight, and staying with an omega makes it easy to get marked.

As for the beta, it will run away if it can, while the alpha will actually attack people at this time.

Her brain, which was in complete disarray due to the pheromones, realized that something was wrong. Tan Yicheng heard the painful response, loosened her teeth, and carefully licked her wound.

She was like a young puppy who had accidentally hurt its owner, trying to lick its wounds and remove the blood as compensation.

It's better not to lick it at all.

Xi Congshuang felt the warm, soft tongue licking her wound, turning the skin on her neck red, and a tingling, hot sensation spreading from the edge of the wound.

Even so, Tan Yicheng still didn't stop and was eager to mark the people she liked.

She found it strange that no matter how many times she marked the pheromones, they couldn't leave them on her body; she could only smell a light and elegant woody perfume.

Although the tagging failed, I still like it very much.

Tan Yicheng, whose mind was occupied by the word "like", suddenly realized that she was not familiar with the business and had come to the wrong place.

So, with her tear-filled eyes, she found the "gland" again and decided to re-mark it.

Tan Yicheng, whose licking had taken on a different flavor, let out another yelp and bit down on a new spot, releasing every last drop of pheromones from her canine teeth.

Xi Congshuang said helplessly, "But I don't have glands, so I can't contain your pheromones."

Tan Yicheng sobbed in dissatisfaction, tears falling like pearls as if they were free.

Xi Congshuang was even more helpless, turning her head to reveal the side of her neck: "Bite it, bite it. You're in so much pain, it's only right that I comfort you."

Tan Yicheng happily moved closer, his warm breath tickling her neck. Her bitten neck tilted slightly in discomfort, but she managed not to move away.

Still unable to find the gland, Tan Yicheng couldn't find a place to bite, so he resorted to the same trick again, licking the bite mark.

Xi Congshuang endured the second licking of her wounds for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back. She pinched Tan Yicheng's chin and lifted her face. Tan Yicheng looked at her in confusion. She was clearly an alpha, but she was unusually docile.

Xi Congshuang's eyes were deep: "I'll teach you something more interesting than temporary marking. That's boring."

Tan Yicheng blinked: "What's interesting?"

Is there anything more interesting than tagging people you like?

She can speak now, and it seems she is slowly recovering. Xi Congshuang said, "There are many interesting things, like how you are now."

Tan Yicheng looked at herself but didn't think anything was wrong. Her hair, which had been hanging down, was lifted by an outstretched hand. Her gaze followed that hand and she watched as Xi Congshuang's red lips kissed her hair.

She seemed to notice Tan Yicheng's gaze, and with a slight lift of her thin eyelids, she exuded a captivating charm.

"..." Tan Yicheng's breath hitched, and her already rapid heartbeat skipped a few beats.

It was as if she wasn't just being kissed on the hair; the gesture was clearly full of restraint and forbearance, yet she felt her heart stirred and almost couldn't help but respond by grabbing her hand.

But this was just the beginning. Xi Congshuang moved closer to her: "You, with your perfectly good hands handcuffed, can only be locked on the bed, and can't even get out of bed and take a few steps."

Her gaze was like an invisible feather; wherever it looked, Tan Yicheng felt a tingling sensation wherever she was being looked at.

"Don't you look like a captive I've imprisoned? You're clearly a beta, yet you force an alpha to submit, lock her in bed, and pamper Flying Eagle like a canary, forbidding her from yearning for other omegas, only allowing her to endure the desires of a beta..."

The more Tan Yicheng listened, the redder her face became.

What are all these strange and wonderful things that you can't help but listen to?

Forgive Tan Yicheng for being a novice surfer; for her, the AI ​​only has three main uses: finding information, contacting people, and using an alias to have an online romance with Xi Congshuang.

Now, she had long forgotten about the last point, and her AI had reverted to its first two uses. Forget about watching TV dramas to entertain herself, she was already so busy with her studies that she felt dizzy every day. She felt like throwing up just looking at her AI. She might as well pack up and go to sleep.

After reviewing Xi Congshuang's narration, Tan Yicheng felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Unfortunately, given her current state, she has no way of analyzing how many TV dramas Xi Congshuang has watched are mixed in.

Hearing this, she retorted softly, "No, I don't crave omega pheromones. I got a perfect score in my immunology class."

That's what Xiao Jiao said in a proud tone.

She wasn't afraid of the omega-type bombs made by the ruthless space pirates.

Xi Congshuang chuckled to herself. She didn't know why Tan Yicheng had suddenly sent her a report card yesterday asking for praise, but there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, and she could ask him later.

The most important thing now is... She leaned closer and kissed her lips, a fleeting, ephemeral kiss.

Before Tan Yicheng could look at her with dissatisfaction, she kissed her again. This time, she tilted her head to avoid their colliding noses, and their lips pressed together even tighter, lingering for a longer time.

In fact, Xi Congshuang was no longer satisfied with just a superficial relationship, but since her partner was busy with his studies every day, she couldn't very well drag her well-behaved student into "indulging in sensual pleasures" and maintain a pure and innocent campus romance.

She had said long ago that she was not a good person.

A few seconds later, Xi Congshuang separated them slightly, put one arm around her back, and lifted her chin higher with the other, using the tip of her tongue as a pen to carefully trace the scar on her lips.

"Hmm..."

The sensation wasn't exactly painful or uncomfortable, but it was inexplicably unbearable, causing one to groan softly involuntarily.

With his retreat blocked, Tan Yicheng could not retreat and could only look up and endure it, his eyes red and his brows slightly furrowed.

If there were a mirror in front of her, she would see what she looks like now, truly fulfilling the earlier statement that she can neither leave nor stay away, and can only endure the desires from the beta.

Their moist tongues danced together, and the tongues that were entangled with hers were not willing to stop there. They mischievously licked her palate, and her waist went weak instantly. She collapsed into Xi Congshuang's hands that were on her back, and they continued to kiss.

Fortunately, the person who claimed to have no conscience still had some conscience when facing Tan Yicheng. He kindly gave her some breathing room. The button on her clothes broke, and you could see the chest of her inner vest heaving violently for a moment.

Tan Yicheng looked like a mermaid who had been forcibly pulled ashore, her mouth open and tongue slightly sticking out as she breathed heavily. She was helped to lean against the headboard.

His hazy gaze followed the person by the bedside, his shifty eyes landing on her slender neck.

Ah, it seems I did use too much force, leaving a noticeable flaw on her jade-like neck.

Once she was separated from the body that had been pressed against her, she felt incredibly cold; it wasn't as warm as being in her arms.

It's only been a short time, yet it's already become a habit so quickly.

The iron headboard wasn't warm or soft, but thankfully the soft pillows tucked behind my back eased the cold, hard feeling.

Before long, Tan Yicheng lost interest in whether the headboard was cold or hard.

Because she was pinned to the headboard and they continued kissing.

*

"It's been about half an hour, and there seems to be no movement inside."

"Could Tan Yicheng have dismantled that decades-old hospital bed? No way!"

"It's just a bed, why care so much?"

"It's normal for me to have some feelings for the hospital bed where I used to receive IV drips, after all."

"..."

The other students exclaimed, "We've never seen such a sentimental alpha as you. Are you a fake alpha?"

The student was furious and quickly pulled out her student ID, saying, "Who said that? I'm a female Alpha, I have two As, I'm an AA-level Alpha. How many people have more As than me?"

"Yes, the three A's are inside, currently going through a differentiation period." Qi Qianqian pointed to the doorway.

The alpha holding up his student ID: "..."

For some reason, the surroundings also quieted down, and everyone remembered the fear of being dominated by Tan Yicheng in his berserk state.

The journey was truly terrifying. If it weren't for Instructor Lin, the girls would have almost failed to catch the alpha in his rage, and even accidentally got elbowed several times by their classmates while trying to restrain him.

Is this the power of a 3A-level Alpha?

It's as restless as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, impossible to restrain.

Alpha levels are divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D. Each category is further divided into three tiers. Taking tier A as an example, the more powerful the alpha's pheromone detection results...

However, some alphas are not so lucky; B-level is not bad either.

If, by some coincidence, someone is classified as 2B, it sounds like an insult, so everyone should just refer to themselves as their "general level" when speaking to others.

Of course, some alphas who want to show off can read out their A's, the more A's they have, the more prestigious they are—like students who have a special fondness for the iron beds in the school clinic.

The premise is that it shouldn't be a business with three A's, otherwise it will look like a self-operated wholesale merchant.

Instructor Lin stood at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, constantly raising her wrist to check the time on her smart device. Dr. Fan, who had gone out for a meeting, had not yet returned, so she couldn't make a judgment.

However, based on her previous experience with secondary differentiation, Tan Yicheng shouldn't have reacted so strongly...

Most people who experience secondary differentiation recover after a fever and a good night's sleep, and then try to avoid crowded places for five days.

As for the levels after differentiation, there is not much difference from before; most people remain the same as before differentiation.

Only a very small number of people will undergo significant changes during secondary differentiation, such as changing from B to A or O, or changing their level from A or O to a higher level.

This group accounts for only 0.1% of the total AO population, which is extremely rare.

Amidst the mixed emotions of students and teachers, the school clinic, which had been quiet for 35 minutes, finally came to life.

The door opened, and everyone craned their necks to look.

The reason everyone is staying here is twofold: firstly, to legitimately skip class, and secondly, because they are curious whether the Tyrannosaurus Rex's second differentiation period will demolish the school clinic, and to assess the opponent's combat strength.

To their disappointment, Xi Congshuang stood behind the door. The door she opened was not ripped open by the enraged Tan Yicheng, but rather opened with an extremely elegant force.

She was holding a bottle of wound spray in her long, beautiful hand, spraying the medicine onto her slightly red but intact neck.

Everyone's first reaction was—Assistant Xi's OCD had flared up again.

Then another thought popped into my head: why would she suddenly become so fastidious about her neck?

What happened to her neck? Her neck is fine.

Xi Congshuang looked towards the door, her eyes, still brimming with emotion, sweeping over everyone indifferently.

Her hand, which was holding the wound spray, fell to her sides. She asked, "Why are you still here?"

Everyone: "..."

It's that familiar feeling of being kept at arm's length.
