Chapter 52: Disguised Beta 2: Omega Falls into the Wolf's Den
The aroma of peaches was blocked by this door.
The fragrance ends here.
Every room in this house is a basic barrier room. The walls are injected with pheromone adsorption materials and have built-in air purification devices, which can block some pheromones to a certain extent.
Since it is just a basic-level barrier room, the concentration of runaway Alphas and estrus Omegas cannot be completely blocked.
Although this is not as good as the high-end safe houses in the military, in daily life, the basic barrier room can fully meet daily needs.
Wen Hengche took another deep breath and found that the aroma of peaches was almost gone.
But the constant secretion of saliva in the mouth proved that the fragrance did exist.
His Adam's apple rolled twice quickly, and Wen Hengche looked at the closed door in front of him with hesitation in his eyes.
This room belongs to He Chengchi.
He remembered that He Chengchi's pheromone was a pungent, sharp smell of alcohol, similar to tequila, with a dangerous burning and rough feeling, and a certain aggressiveness, which had nothing to do with the mild peach.
Moreover, He Chengchi once said that he would never live with them, so this room has always been empty.
So, where does the sweet peach flavor come from?
Wen Hengche thought that He Chengchi was forced to move in by his father, and then bought a big bag of peaches to eat in the room.
Only this explanation makes sense.
He is a mysophobe and would never eat in his room, nor would he tolerate others doing so.
With a cold sneer, Wen Hengche turned and walked away, took out his cell phone and sent two messages to He Chengchi.
[From now on, eating fruit in the room is prohibited.]
[dirty]
He Chengchi was confused for a moment after receiving the message.
He wanted to ask Wen Hengche what he meant, but he quickly realized what was going on.
It must be his stupid tenant who was eating fruit in the room and was discovered by Wen Hengche.
Wen Hengche had always been a troublemaker, not only nitpicking but also obsessing over details. Furthermore, he was a mysophobe and had a strange temper, making him incredibly difficult to get along with.
Among these brothers, he and Wen Hengche get along the most.
I didn't expect that the stupid tenant would make Wen Hengche unhappy on the first day. This is really gratifying and great.
After deleting the originally edited message, He Chengchi replied arrogantly: [Idiot, stay out of my business.]
*
Wu Lan slept until evening.
When he woke up, the sky outside the window had been dyed orange, the clouds looked like a sea of fire, and the orange sunset hung in the sky.
He rubbed his eyes, slowly sat up, stretched himself, and then suddenly lost all his strength and fell back down limply.
He had just woken up and was exhausted. He stayed in bed for a long time before slowly getting up.
By the time he changed out of his pajamas and opened the door, it was already completely dark outside.
The living room was still empty and the lights were off.
Wu Lan stood in the room, poked her head out and observed carefully, then took her small backpack and money and went out.
He planned to have a meal first and then go to the convenience store to buy some things.
The facilities of this apartment are very good. The apartment he rented is on the fifth floor and has an elevator.
Standing in front of the elevator waiting, Wu Lan took out her cell phone to search for cheap fast food nearby. A few seconds later, the elevator door opened.
He lowered his head and passed by the people in the elevator. His eyes never left the screen of his mobile phone, and he only used his peripheral vision to press the floor button.
Suddenly, Duan Yan stopped and looked back at the closed elevator door. A faint scent of peach still lingered in his nose.
It seems like a little thing went in just now.
The little guy had black hair. He lowered his head, and the light from the mobile phone made half of his face shine. I couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from the curve of his nose, he should be good-looking.
There are two households on one floor here. Could it be that a new Omega has moved in across the street?
Duan Yan glanced at the door of the house opposite, wiped his nose somewhat unnaturally, and walked towards his own apartment.
In the elevator, Wu Lan raised her head and tilted it.
He heard 2720 suddenly beep, but as the elevator door closed, the system stopped talking.
Wu Lan was puzzled. [What did you want to say just now? ]
[Just now I wanted to say that you successfully met one of the Children of Fortune.] 2720 paused for a few seconds, [but the elevator door closed too quickly, causing the announcement to be interrupted.]
Wu Lan【!!!】
Wu Lan was surprised to meet the Son of Fortune by chance. He soon realized that he lived in the same apartment building as the Son of Fortune and even on the same floor.
He wanted to go back to the fifth floor again, but was stopped by 2720.
Even if you go back to the fifth floor, he might not still be in front of the elevator. 2720 suggested, "Let's go eat first. Aren't you hungry?"
Wu Lan's stomach was already starving, and the chocolate bread she had eaten during the day had long been digested.
He touched his flat belly and licked his lips.
Wu Lan decided to listen to 2720 and go eat first, then go to the convenience store to buy things, and finally consider the matter of the Son of Destiny.
He thought it through.
Since we all live in the same apartment building, it's only a matter of time before we meet, so there's no need to rush.
Putting the son of luck behind her without any burden, Wu Lan left the apartment, carefully selected a noodle shop, and ate a bowl of hot clear soup noodles with satisfaction.
He was so hungry that he ate the clear soup noodles with gusto. He drank up all the bone soup in the bowl without leaving a drop.
The noodle soup here is very delicious, and you can add as many side dishes as you want. The boss is also very nice and even gave him a poached egg for free.
The most important thing is that the price is affordable!
The flat belly was now slightly bulging. Wu Lan wiped her mouth and asked 2720 seriously to add this noodle shop to the canteen list of 'Wu Lan's Happy Hometown'.
【Have you written it down for me?】
2720【I’ve made a note of it.】
After filling my stomach, it’s time to go shopping.
There happened to be a 24-hour convenience store nearby, so Wu Lan wandered around the store and bought some necessary daily necessities.
When he was about to pay the bill, he was stopped by a strange girl.
Before he could ask why the other person called him, the girl pulled him aside, looked around, and whispered, "It seems like the edge of your barrier patch is warped, and the pheromones are leaking out."
"It's peach-flavored pheromone, it smells really good."
Wu Lan reflexively touched the back of her neck and found that the barrier sticker was really curled up and even pushed up her collar.
“Thank you for the reminder!”
The snow-white little face suddenly turned red. Wu Lan tried to smooth out the raised edge of the barrier patch with her hands in panic, but it was no use.
"I have a barrier patch here, you can use it first."
He took the barrier sticker from the girl, thanked her repeatedly, checked out the items in the shopping cart, and hurried to the apartment.
Wu Lan sighed as he walked, saying that there are so many good people in the imperial capital.
...
When I returned to the apartment, the lights in the living room were on.
Wu Lan noticed that there were two pairs of large-sized shoes at the entrance, but still no one was seen.
Without having time to wonder about his roommates, he took the things he bought into the room, grabbed some clothes to change and immediately went into the bathroom.
Before changing the barrier patch, Wu Lan planned to take a shower first.
The sound of running water could be heard, and a thin layer of hot steam soon filled the entire bathroom, and the mirror mounted on the wall was also covered with a layer of mist.
The bathroom is large and has a separate shower with dry and wet areas as well as a bathtub.
The bathtub looked clean, like no one had used it.
2720【Want to take a bath?】
2720 saw through Wu Lan's thoughts and nodded. "Taking a bath is very comfortable and can also relieve fatigue."
Just take a bath.
Wu Lan simply rinsed the bathtub with water and then began to fill it. While waiting, he washed himself thoroughly in the shower.
When he soaked in the bathtub filled with hot water, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and closed his eyes with a look of satisfaction.
Her black hair was thoroughly wet, with water droplets constantly dripping from the ends. Her palm-sized face was soon steamed red by the hot steam, and was covered with water droplets.
Pushing her hair back from her forehead, her delicate facial features, reddened by the water vapor, were no longer obscured. Her long, curled eyelashes were clumps of water, and her dark eyes were watery, particularly lively and beautiful.
He almost shrunk his entire body into the water, leaving only his slender white neck and snow-white shoulders exposed from time to time.
Because I didn't buy bath balls or bath salts, the water in the bathtub was crystal clear.
Wu Lan was born fair, and after being soaked in the hot water, her skin was tinged with pink. At first glance, her body, hidden in the water, was either white or pink, a color that was both beautiful and eye-catching.
The protruding clavicles and the tips of his neck were smoked red by the hot water, and the pink jade was also smoked red. Bai Xue's long legs were put together, and he looked obedient and conservative with his knees curled up.
He looked down at one of his knees, where there was a small bruise.
This morning, while I was on the road, I accidentally bumped my knee. It didn't hurt much, but I didn't expect it to leave a bruise.
It hurts if you poke it.
Wu Lan hissed softly and didn't dare to poke again.
Covering his knees with his palms, he shrank back into the water, leaving only his round head exposed above the water, his bright eyes darting around.
He took a long bath tonight and his skin was almost wrinkled by the water.
After 2720 urged her for the third time, Wu Lan finally decided to end her bath and stood up to reach for the towel hanging on the wall.
But just as he reached out, the tightly closed bathroom door was suddenly knocked hard.
Wu Lan was startled and dived into the water again.
A pair of big, watery eyes stared nervously at the door, and the little mouth was pursed into a straight line, like a serious kitten ready for battle.
He didn't dare to speak.
"He Chengchi, are you planning to stay here tonight?"
There was a strange male voice outside the door. His tone was fierce and rude, and it felt like he was someone who was difficult to get along with.
Wu Lan continued to stare at the door, feeling a little scared and looking even more alert.
Wu Lan didn't recognize the name the other person mentioned, but since he mentioned the surname He, it was most likely his landlord.
Because the landlord's nickname is just one character, "He".
"He Chengchi, are you mute?"
The bathroom door was knocked a few more times, and the sound of "dong dong dong" scared the kitten so much that its fur stood on end.
He gripped the edge of the bathtub with both hands and spoke cautiously: "I, I'm almost done, wait a moment."
Wu Lan's voice was very small, and the sound insulation in the bathroom was very good, so it didn't reach outside the door at all.
After waiting for a long time without hearing any response from He Chengchi, Duan Yan frowned and looked a little annoyed.
I heard Heng Che say that He Rongchi was moving in today, but I didn't expect him to occupy the bathroom for so long on the first day. I don't know if he was trying to make things difficult for me.
The guy was in the bathroom for almost two hours.
Duan Yan waited outside for a long time, and finally got tired of waiting and knocked on the door.
Talking to He Chengchi without responding seemed like he was deliberately causing trouble.
Just as annoying as when I was a kid!
Duan Yan clicked his tongue and saw Wen Hengche coming out of the room, silently raising his eyebrows at him in question.
"That kid He Chengchi has been in there for two hours and he didn't respond when I spoke to him."
Wen Hengche thought for a moment and said, "Could he have fainted?"
"How is that possible?"
Duan Yan didn't believe that He Rongchi would faint in the bathroom, but this situation had never happened before.
You know, every time he talks to He Rongchi, that kid always starts to argue with people. He would never be as silent as he is now.
Duan Yan's face was filled with disbelief, but considering the paper-thin bond between them, he still asked, "He Chengchi, did you faint?"
"Duan Yan, if he faints, can he respond to you?"
Wen Hengche looked at Duan Yan as if he were an idiot, walked over, and said unhappily, "Just open the door and take a look."
"Yes."
Duan Yan said this, holding the door handle and trying to open the door.
The door is locked.
Wu Lan, who was hiding in the water, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he remembered to lock the door, so people outside could not get in.
Taking advantage of this moment, he quickly stood up, tiptoed to wipe his body with a towel, but just as he wrapped himself in the towel, the locked door was suddenly opened.
Just by opening a gap, the hot steam in the bathroom rushed out impatiently, and a cool breeze came into the bathroom.
[What are you standing there for? Spray the water over there.] 2720 suddenly spoke up.
Wu Lan didn't see the door clearly at all. She just followed 2720's instructions in a panic and picked up the shower head to spray outside the door.
"abnormal!"
With a bang, the bathroom door was slammed shut.
Duan Yan, who was outside the door, was soaked like a drowned rat. The bathroom door almost hit his face, but his reaction was several beats slow and he was completely stunned.
Wen Hengche was still two steps away from the bathroom and couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
He raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms and asked, "What's wrong?"
Duan Yan turned his head slowly, his deep and bright eyes suddenly became dazed, and he looked like a fool in a daze.
His thin lips opened and he uttered two strange words:
"So pink, so white."
Wen Hengche: “…?”
*
Wu Lan's eyes were full of panic.
His heart was beating wildly with fear, his flat chest was heaving up and down, his big eyes were wide open, and it was obvious that he had not yet recovered from his shock.
The towel wrapped around his body was in a tangle, with large areas of snow-white flesh exposed, but he paid no attention to it and just remained on guard.
The shower head in my hand was still running, and the hot and humid steam accumulated again, covering the bathroom with a thin layer of mist.
I waited for two full minutes.
Wu Lan stared at the bathroom door vigilantly. After making sure that the person outside would not open the door without permission, her stiff shoulders slowly relaxed.
2720【Are you okay?】
[It's okay, I just got a fright.] After Wu Lan relaxed, she found that both of her legs were weak and she could only hold on to the wall with her hands.
He looked in the direction of the bathroom door, then looked down at himself, conservatively wrapped the towel around himself again, and pursed his lips again and again.
He was a little angry, and frowned a little awkwardly, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his red little face.
[Just now, that person probably didn't see anything...]
He had already wrapped himself in a towel and was spraying water at the other person. The man didn't even have time to close his eyes, so he probably wouldn't be looking around at him.
Although his reaction was a little slow just now, he was very sure that he had sprayed the person like a drowned rat, and he even cursed at the other person in the end.
After this analysis, Wu Lan felt that she was definitely not seen naked, and she even successfully fought back and poured water on the other party.
If someone else encountered this kind of thing, they would definitely be scared silly.
Unlike him, he reacts so quickly, picks up weapons and becomes a soldier, and beats people to a pulp.
The more she thought about it, the more satisfied she became with her performance. Wu Lan's lips curled up slightly, and her chin lifted. Her smug look betrayed nothing of the fear and trembling she had just been hiding in the water.
Turn off the water.
He wiped the water droplets off his body, and before putting on his clothes, he carefully put the barrier patch on the back of his neck, and then put a towel on his neck as a cover.
After lingering in the bathroom for a long time, Wu Lan finally came out.
He knew that someone outside must be waiting for him in the living room.
That person was most likely his roommate. He had already made up his mind that after they left, he would make sure the other party apologized to him and set three rules for him.
As he expected, there was indeed someone sitting on the sofa in the living room.
But not one person, but two people.
The two of them sat on the single sofas on either side, far apart.
One was looking down at his phone, handsome with a prominent jawline. The other was drying his hair with a towel, his clothes wet in patches but dry in spots, yet he didn't look disheveled. His handsome face was bold and handsome.
It was obvious that this was the person Wu Lan had just taught a lesson.
Seeing the person in the bathroom finally come out, they both raised their heads at the same time.
Two pairs of sharp eyes swept over, and the cold aura they carried with them was enough to make people's legs go weak with just one glance, and they didn't dare to confront them head-on.
Wu Lan had already thought of what to say, but after looking into their eyes, her momentum suddenly dropped and she subconsciously took a step back.
It doesn't look like these two people get along well.
Especially the guy who was drying his hair, he looked extremely fierce, his arms were as thick as his thighs, and it felt like he was going to hit him in the next second.
At this time, Wu Lan began to worry about her own safety.
He swallowed fearfully, clenched his hands together, and looked alert and cautious, becoming a fur-ruffled kitten again.
But what really made him furious was the sudden announcement from 2720.
[Beep! Detected that the host has encountered two children of destiny.]
You stumble upon the Children of Luck and, upon learning of their strong family backgrounds, seek their help in finding someone. You attempt to curry their favor, but misguidedly end up being disliked by them.
Your actions have offended them and left a deep impression on them. In the future, you will become the butt of their silly jokes at after-dinner conversations.
Seeing Wu Lan staring blankly without reacting, 2720 paused and said, "The person holding the phone is Wen Hengche, and the person brushing his hair is Duan Yan. They are both Alphas. They are distant brothers who live together at the request of their respective fathers, nominally to cultivate brotherhood."
[The person who rented the apartment to you is also their brother, but because he didn't want to live with them, he came up with the idea of renting out the apartment to disgust them.]
"Only after you actually meet them can I receive relevant plot and character introductions." 2720 paused for a few seconds. "I didn't mean to keep this from you."
【......I see. 】
Wu Lan needed some time to digest the overwhelming amount of information his brain was taking in. When he met their gazes again, he noticed they had suddenly stood up and were walking towards him.
It was fine when the two of them were sitting, but when they stood up, their tall and slender bodies almost blocked Wu Lan's sight.
In front of them, Wu Lan, who only reached their chests, looked like a kitten. Tiny, thin, and weak, he didn't even know if he could slap someone if he stood on tiptoe.
Watching them approaching, Wu Lan stepped back step by step, his back pressed against the wall, and he felt a chill.
The pretty little face that was red from the hot water began to turn pale, the big black round eyes seemed to be filled with water, and the corners of the eyes were red, as if she had been bullied, but she still tried to straighten her body.
Although I am afraid, I cannot lose my momentum. If I lose my momentum, I will lose completely.
"W-What are you going to do?"
Wu Lan's words made the two of them stop.
Duan Yan and Wen Hengche looked at each other, then looked at the little guy in front of them, but didn't speak immediately.
This kind of staring gaze gave Wu Lan goosebumps. She felt as if she was being stared at by a wild beast.
After a moment, Wen Hengche suddenly said, "I want you to sit over there. It's not convenient to talk while standing."
After saying that, he turned sideways to make way for Wu Lan.
In this situation, Wu Lan could only sit down obediently.
He sat on the middle sofa, his knees pressed tightly together, his hands clenched into fists on his thighs.
Xueci's face was tense. He carefully peeked at the people sitting on his left and right, but was caught red-handed.
Wen Hengche, who was sitting on the left, suddenly asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"
Knowing that she could not escape questioning, Wu Lan had no choice but to explain to the two of them everything that she was a tenant from out of town.
"He Chengchi rented the room to you?"
The two looked at each other hesitantly, and Wen Hengche took out his cell phone and called He Chengchi directly to verify.
After a phone call, it was proved that Wu Lan was not lying.
It’s just that He Chengchi’s attitude is quite arrogant.
"That's my room. I have the right to do what I want with it. You have no right to interfere," he said. "I can rent it to whoever I want."
Duan Yan was furious: "Then you're just going to let an Omega live here?"
"What Omega?" He Chengchi was stunned. "Idiot, that's a Beta. You can't even tell the difference. Are you blind?"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The living room fell into silence.
Wu Lan kept her head down and didn't look up, but she could clearly feel the two people's eyes on her again, and she was constantly being stared at.
My heart started beating fast again, and I felt guilty.
"Wu Lan, right?"
Duan Yan coughed lightly and unnaturally. He suddenly remembered something, his Adam's apple rolled twice quickly, and his dark eyes gradually darkened.
"That guy He Chengchi said you are a Beta, uh, but, but..."
He was halfway through his words when Wen Hengche took over from the side.
Wen Hengche's gaze became sharper. He looked at Wu Lan's fair neck with his eyes scrutinizing her, and swallowed the excessive saliva in his mouth without leaving a trace.
He didn't notice that his voice had become a little hoarse:
"But could you explain to us the peach smell in this room?"
