Chapter 81 Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst
Despite his physical discomfort, Lin Yao still had to coax this giant baby, suppressing his temper as he said, "I wasn't being mean to you."
"You told me to shut up," Xie Xingchen repeated verbatim, "and you told me to go away."
Lin Yao's temples throbbed: "...That's not what I meant."
Pei Yizhong really couldn't take it anymore. The young people showing off their affection was simply unbearable. He coughed lightly and said, "Are we still going to practice? If all you're thinking about is kissing, then I'm leaving."
Lin Yao: ""
Heavens above, is it really that hard to see through things but not say anything?
Why are all these people around him so blunt? Someone, please save him.
He raised his hand and wiped his swollen lips from Xie Xingchen's bite, then took the sniper rifle back and held it in his hand, saying in a low voice, "Try it. Three minutes, and I will pass your entrance test."
As I spoke, I felt the pheromones intensify, as if they were choking me, causing my whole body to tremble in pain.
"Fire! Three minutes, begin!" Pei Yizhong was very strict.
In just a short while, Xie Xingchen understood that Lin Yao had found a big shot here to be his sparring partner, using the most primitive yet most effective method.
He didn't want to rely on his pheromones to soothe himself every time.
Although I'm a little annoyed.
Xie Xingchen clicked his tongue softly, trying to reassure himself that it was alright; if Lin Yao didn't want pheromones, he could still practice techniques to make him feel good.
Pei Yizhong's pheromones not only brought Lin Yao a sense of oppression, but also a physiological provocation.
Alphas naturally suppress each other, creating a powerful rivalry. Under this intense pressure, they are very prone to developing extremely violent and destructive urges.
"Hold the gun steady." Pei Yizhong raised his hand to help him control the shaky sniper rifle, while observing Lin Yao's reaction.
It hurt so much that a thin layer of sweat appeared on my forehead and my whole body was trembling.
But his willpower was incredibly strong; even in such pain, every bullet he fired hit the bullseye.
"Can you still hold on?"
"Can."
Lin Yao reached up and grabbed the hem of his clothes, roughly lifted it up and wiped his face with it to regain focus.
Xie Xingchen stood behind him, watching his movements with a calm gaze, which fell on the back of his neck.
He was his person, yet he was tainted with someone else's strong pheromones.
Even though he knew it was his biological father, he still felt unhappy and wanted to mark him, covering up all traces with his own pheromones.
But it has already been temporarily marked twice, so it cannot be marked a third time.
It's so annoying, really annoying.
At this moment, as long as his gaze falls on Lin Yao, he can't control himself; a crazy possessiveness takes over.
He whispered to the two people who were still practicing, "I'm going out for a smoke."
Lin Yao turned his head, glanced at him, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Xie Xingchen hummed in agreement and joked with a smile, "General Pei's pheromones are really powerful. They're making me feel a little uncomfortable. I'll be leaving now."
Lin Yao subtly observed his delicate expression; the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his sharp Adam's apple bobbed up and down, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"You...you go wait for me outside," Lin Yao said, turning his head.
Xie Xingchen hummed in agreement.
His gaze lingered on the other person's fair neck for a moment, he nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
Lin Yao refocused his attention on the target, but was somewhat distracted: "Your pheromones are really powerful; they made both of us react."
“This is my talent, which is why I personally went to the battlefield to protect Nanhe Star,” Pei Yizhong explained. “If you can persevere in my training, you can probably avoid other people’s pheromone suppression, but it is a long process, so you have to be mentally prepared.”
Lin Yao's lips turned pale, and he nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Three minutes felt incredibly long.
Sweat streamed down his neck, soaking his training uniform, yet he stubbornly held the gun.
Shoot, shoot, keep shooting.
Despite the difficulty, he still managed to hit the bullseye perfectly.
"That's enough for today." Pei Yizhong looked at the excellent shooting record, but still couldn't bear to let it go. "Take a break and come back tomorrow."
Lin Yao let out a heavy sigh, his throat dry, seeking reassurance: "Am I alright?"
"You're amazing. Even after differentiating into an Omega, your physical attributes are still top-notch." Pei Yizhong didn't hold back his praise. "All you need to do now is adapt to your new body, take control of it, and master it."
Lin Yao's eyes stung, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xie Xingchen had previously told him that there was no law prohibiting Omegas from becoming military officers, and that was the most encouraging thing he had heard since then.
"I will try my best, thank you... thank you godfather." Lin Yao bowed deeply.
"Silly child, no need to thank me." Pei Yizhong's hand hovered above his head, paused for a few seconds, and then gently patted his shoulder. "You've worked hard, go find him."
Lin Yao looked up, somewhat bewildered: "Huh?"
Pei Yizhong, with an expression that seemed to see through everything, said without any pretense, "Xie Xingchen, aren't you worried about him? Go ahead."
"Oh, then I'll be going. I'll come to the training room to find you tomorrow." Lin Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead. His body still felt heavy, but his steps became lighter. However, before he even reached the door, he received a message from Xie Xingchen.
[xxc]: I'm going home to stay today.
【01】: What's wrong?
【xxc】: I'm not feeling well, I'm afraid I'll scare you.
Lin Yao stared at those words, recalling the expression on his face when he left, and froze.
【01】: Has the illness relapsed?
[xxc]: No, don't worry, I'll go back to the dorm tomorrow.
No.
Why did you suddenly want to go home when you were just joking around like that?
Lin Yao stood at the entrance of the venue, reviewing Xie Xingchen's reaction after entering. At first, everything was fine, until... until she collided with General Pei's pheromones.
It's normal for Alphas to be hostile to each other, especially between strong individuals. Is it because the other party's pressure is too great, and they feel suppressed, causing them to feel physically uncomfortable?
【01】: I'm coming to see you. Wait for me to take the car over.
【xxc】：Don't come.
【01】：I'll stay with you for a while, then I'll go back to my dorm tonight.
Upon seeing these words, Xie Xingchen leaned back on the sofa, a cigarette dangling from his lips. Amidst the swirling smoke, his mind was filled with the four words: "a lamb entering a tiger's den."
He wasn't in his vulnerable period, and he didn't have a relapse even after taking suppressants, so it shouldn't have come to this.
But she just couldn't control the urge to mark Lin Yao. She used to think that she could control this kind of thing by self-torture, but now she's afraid of hurting him, so she doesn't even dare to get close.
Lin Yao was already in a sensitive period.
If he wants to maintain long-term pheromone training with Pei Yizhong, he probably really needs to keep his distance from him for a while.
Xie Xingchen, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, frowned as he typed.
【xxc】：Seriously, don't, listen to me.
Unfortunately, the person on the other end didn't seem to know the meaning of "obedience" at all, and simply sent a message over.
【01】：On the way
Xie Xingchen was so angry he laughed.
Sometimes being too proactive isn't necessarily a good thing. He wanted to call He Li to come and drag the person away, but as he put his finger on the button, thinking about all the explanations that would follow, he got annoyed and threw his phone aside, stubbing out his cigarette.
After enduring it for half an hour, the thought of that section of fair neck made me irritable, and I couldn't bear it any longer, so I said something harsh.
[xxc]: Go back, I won't open the door, and I won't see you even if you come.
【01】: They climbed in through the window.
Xie Xingchen had just received the message when he looked up and saw that the Omega, who had been pale from the pheromones, had now regained his usual aloofness, pulled the living room window open, and jumped in.
Xie Xingchen: "........."
Sometimes living on the first floor is indeed not a good thing.
Their eyes met, and Xie Xingchen could smell the lingering scent of Pei Yizhong on him from afar—it was strong and heavy.
Xie Xingchen, are you even jealous of your own father?
He raised his hand to cover his face, looking utterly hopeless, and said, "Are you really that bored? You spent the whole afternoon taking exams and then did that damn pheromone training. Aren't you tired?"
"Where do you feel unwell?" Lin Yao didn't reply, but simply stood between his legs, pushed his hands away, and looked down at him.
Xie Xingchen bent his long legs, leaving them wide open, and looked up at him, saying, "I feel uncomfortable everywhere."
He looked dejected and dejected.
Lin Yao lowered his head, moved closer, and whispered, "Then how can I help you?"
He didn't want to see the other person suffer so much.
As the distance closed, Xie Xingchen smelled a different scent on him and said in a light tone, "Going back to school and staying away from me is helping me."
"No." Lin Yao was really going to stick with him. "I won't leave until you tell me."
Xie Xingchen reached out and grabbed his wrist, pulling him sharply so that he sat directly on his left leg.
Lin Yao froze for a moment, wanting to dodge, but felt his neck being pinched by extremely hot fingers.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
"You're really disobedient." Xie Xingchen pulled him into his arms, lowered his head and gently sniffed him. "I want to mark you, but we both know we can't."
The third time is a lifelong commitment, a taboo they all know about.
Lin Yao placed his hand on his shoulder, indulging him: "You just want to cover up your pheromones so you can't be marked, you can..."
He hesitated, suppressing his shyness, and squeezed out the last few words, barely audible: "Okay...t..."
This novel suggestion is almost like drinking poison to quench thirst; in fact, it's even more agonizing.
But this caused Xie Xingchen's palm to tighten suddenly, and a layer of excited pleasure welled up in his eyes.
