A fire was burning in the middle of the tent, with Yi Mu and Suo Yanghe sitting on either side.
Yi Mu kept scratching the back of his neck. Seeing that he couldn't sit still like someone with ADHD, Suo Yanghe asked, "Are there lice crawling on you?"
Yi Mu looked annoyed. He hadn't slept much in the first half of the night. Something was indeed biting him, causing both pain and itchiness.
He moved over to Suo Yanghe's side, disregarding their previous grudges, and pulled hard on the back of his collar.
"Could you check if there are any bugs behind me?"
Suo Yanghe knew that Yi Mu was a proud man, and he would never bother his 'number one enemy' unless he had no other choice.
Suo Yanghe hooked his finger down the back of Yi Mu's collar and leaned over to take a look.
There was indeed something on the back of Yimu's neck, a worm the size of a fingernail, round and wobbly, as if it might fall off at any moment.
This type of insect typically inserts its mouthparts into a person's flesh; if it is forcibly pulled out, it can cause wound infection.
Suo Yanghe lit a cigarette and used the cigarette butt to brand the insect's rear end.
The insect was probably soft-bodied; it twisted a couple of times after being touched by the cigarette butt and fell into Suo Yanghe's palm.
Yi Mu reached out to touch the painful and itchy wound, only to find his hand covered in blood.
He disgustedly wiped the blood on his clothes and turned back to get gauze from the tent.
Suo Yanghe threw the insect on the ground and stomped on it, bursting it. A pool of colorless liquid lay on the ground, probably Yi Mu's blood.
Yi Mu brought over the gauze and disinfectant alcohol and tossed them into Suo Yanghe's arms, saying, "They're all asleep, so I can only trouble you with this."
Suo Yanghe took the item, glanced at him, and said sarcastically, "Would it cost you a piece of meat to say thank you?"
Yi Mu grunted and snorted a thank you through his nose.
Suo Yanghe pulled open his collar again; the blood had already dried.
He poured some alcohol onto a cotton ball and cleaned the wound.
Because the light in the woods was dim, he couldn't see the exact location of the wound. He leaned very close, and in a short time, he suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance.
That's the scent that can drive all alphas crazy; they call it pheromones.
Suo Yanghe slowed down his movements, his head close to Yi Mu's shoulder, his breath almost spraying onto Yi Mu's exposed skin.
All that is known to the outside world is that Suo Yanghe has never had a girlfriend, leading to speculation that he may be impotent.
Only he himself knows that he is simply insensitive to pheromones.
When other alphas encounter an omega in heat, they all transform into wild beasts, their only thought being to mark that adorable omega.
Only Suo Yanghe seemed to suffer from rhinitis, completely ignoring the allure of those pheromone scents.
He consulted many doctors, but none of them could offer a solution to his condition.
Suo Yanghe thought his low sensitivity to pheromones was an innate defect, but he could smell the hallucinogenic scent in Yi Mu's blood.
For an alpha, an omega's pheromones are like a smoker smelling cigarette smoke—they stir something deep within them.
Their blood has a slightly weaker effect on alphas than the pheromones emitted during estrus, but the effect is the same.
Yi Mu waited for a while, and seeing that Suo Yanghe did not move, he turned his head and found that Suo Yanghe's breathing was hot and his panting was heavy, which was obviously wrong.
He turned around and looked at him with a strange expression.
"How could you..."
Suo Yanghe suddenly tackled him to the ground, his eyes gleaming brightly in the firelight beside him, revealing the ferocity of a wild beast.
“You are an omega!” he said, stating it as a statement.
