Chapter 30 Cannon Fodder Ex-Boyfriend 30 Can you give my brother back to me...?
Large raindrops pelted the roof of the vehicle, and the lights inside the carriage went out completely after the driver got off the bus with an umbrella.
As the light dimmed, Li Qingran's image in Gu Shiyu's eyes also became blurry.
For a fleeting moment, Gu Shiyu couldn't catch a glimpse of Li Qingran's expression. All he could see was a large expanse of white, flowing down the pheromones that smelled of snow and ice, landing on the collar of her clothes, which had been torn open at some point and by someone. The scent of wind and snow wafted out, and the black fabric spread across her shoulders, revealing her thin yet deep collarbones and, at the same time, presenting the two dark hickeys on them to Gu Shiyu's eyes.
Gu Shiyu's body, which had been going limp with Li Qingran's touch, suddenly stiffened. She stared at Li Qingran in disbelief, "You—"
Li Qingran blinked. "What's wrong with me?"
"You and Jiang Siran—"
Gu Shiyu couldn't say the rest, nor did he want to. Ultimately, he was unwilling to believe or admit that Li Qingran might have had an intimate relationship with Jiang Siran.
In the dimly lit carriage, the Alpha above showed a hint of struggle, while the Alpha below, who appeared to be being suppressed by the Alpha, tilted his head slightly, his expression calm, his gray eyes filled with composure—so composure that Gu Shiyu felt he was deliberately letting her see the marks on his neck…
Gu Shiyu unconsciously tightened his grip on Li Qingran's cheek as he moved closer to her.
"Did you do this on purpose?"
Li Qingran laughed. "Which one are you referring to?"
The problems that were thrown out were thrown back, not only failing to solve them, but also adding another layer of mystery to the original issues.
Gu Shiyu subconsciously wanted to bite his lip, hoping the pain would keep him calm. But he forgot that Li Qingran's fingers were still pressing on his canines. With the force, the tip of his tooth pierced into his soft fingertip, almost instantly penetrating his fragile skin. The bloody taste, carrying a hint of ice and snow, immediately spread into Gu Shiyu's mouth, as if carrying flames, instantly making Gu Shiyu's throat dry.
He couldn't help but want to drink more liquid to relieve the dryness and itchiness in his throat, but before he could completely wrap his lips around the Alpha's finger and use his tongue to scoop up more liquid, Li Qingran pulled his finger back first.
"Are you a dog?" Li Qingran gently rubbed the wound on her fingertip where she had just been bitten with her thumb. It didn't actually hurt much, but Li Qingran still frowned. She rubbed her thumb, which was stained with a clear liquid, against Gu Shiyu's cheek, and her gentle voice sounded like a warning, or perhaps a pointed remark, as it rang in Gu Shiyu's ear.
"I don't like being hurt—"
What hurt?
Li Qingran didn't say anything. The answer to the question rolled around on his tongue before he swallowed it back down. The finger that had been smearing something on Gu Shiyu's cheek was also withdrawn along with the words he swallowed.
Gu Shiyu became even more agitated.
"I didn't mean to!"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Li Qingran's hand, which she was trying to pull away. His warm tongue licked the barely noticeable wound again and again. At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to the primitive world. His mind was blank and he couldn't think of a better way to treat the wound. He could only rely on this clumsy method to pray that the wound would heal faster.
"I didn't mean to bite you," Gu Shiyu explained, her voice slightly muffled as she was busy with other tasks.
"I was just trying to clear my head, but I forgot that your hand was still in my mouth, and I accidentally bit it."
"I'm sorry..." Gu Shiyu said, suddenly kneeling between Li Qingran's legs. He lowered his head and eyes, but his mouth uttered a plea to the Alpha.
"Why don't you punish me? As long as it makes you feel better, you can punish me however you want."
Another punishment.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingran couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You Alphas have a surprisingly consistent way of handling certain things."
Gu Shiyu was stunned for a moment, even forgetting to continue cleaning Li Qingran's wounds. "What do you mean?"
“It doesn’t mean anything.” Li Qingran withdrew her hand, wiped her fingertips on Gu Shiyu’s body, and then, under the increasingly dark gaze of the Alpha, directly reached out and grabbed his tie.
A sudden feeling of suffocation gripped his neck, and the distance between Gu Shiyu and Li Qingran shortened further. He could even feel the icy aura rushing towards him, making his head spin and his body involuntarily tense up.
"How do you want me to punish you?" he heard Gu Shiyu ask him.
"Physical? Or mental? Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate? After all, you should still be leading me on the run, right?"
As Li Qingran said this, the hand that was pulling on Gu Shiyu's tie tightened little by little, while her other free hand slid down from the Alpha's ear to his shoulder, and with a little force, the Alpha, who was originally in a superior position, slid off the chair and onto the carpet.
Gu Shiyu subconsciously looked up at Li Qingran, and his eyes, which had already adapted to the darkness, easily saw the interest in the Alpha's eyes.
He seemed to regard the punishment he mentioned as something quite amusing, or perhaps, before him, someone else had mentioned the word "punishment" to Li Qingran, and that time, for an Alpha, it might indeed have been quite amusement...
Gu Shiyu's mind involuntarily conjured up the two hickeys on Li Qingran's collarbone, the eyebrows that instantly rose when he heard the word "punishment," and the very concluding remark that came from his mouth.
"You Alphas in certain matters..."
You Alphas.
That means there was another Alpha besides him who gave Li Qingran the same feeling.
As for who this Alpha might be, Gu Shiyu couldn't think of anyone else besides Jiang Siran.
What exactly did Li Qingran and he do?
What exactly did they achieve?
Gu Shiyu's gaze was fixed on Li Qingran's face, from her eyes to her nose, across her thin lips, down her neck, and finally resting on her collarbone, which was half-hidden by her collar.
Gu Shiyu's fingertips, which were pressed against his knees, twitched slightly. He couldn't help but reach out, wanting to lift up the unsightly collar and reveal his collarbone, which was marked with two red marks.
He wanted to rub the mark that still hadn't completely faded away with his hands, press it with his fingertips, and grind it with his lips until there was no trace of Jiang Siran's scent left, until it was covered with Gu Shiyu's pheromones...
Anyway, isn't this how Li Qingran punished Jiang Siran?
He should also be entitled to such punishment.
He wanted this kind of punishment!
Gu Shiyu's Adam's apple bobbed.
His body involuntarily stiffened, and his lips unconsciously moved closer to Li Qingran's open collar, but a hand pressed against his lips.
Li Qingran didn't actually use much force, but Gu Shiyu subconsciously stopped moving, like a puppet whose strings had been pulled out.
Inside the pitch-black carriage, the black-haired, black-eyed Alpha knelt on one knee before a young man who was so beautiful he seemed unreal, looking up with a focused and infatuated expression, like a fanatical believer gazing upon his god.
The slender, fair fingers were slightly cool, and when the icy pheromones slipped through Gu Shiyu's lips into her mouth, they carried a faint, almost imperceptible, metallic scent of blood.
It was very faint, very faint, yet like a spark falling on dry grass, easily ignited Gu Shiyu's entire body when blown by the cold wind mixed with snowflakes.
It's really strange...
Gu Shiyu couldn't help but swallow. The fingers on his lips were so cold, but he only felt heat...
Gu Shiyu heard Li Qingran seem to chuckle, and asked with a hint of feigned ignorance, "What are you planning to do?"
"I……"
Gu Shiyu moved his lips, wanting to say something, but his blank mind couldn't form a complete sentence. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the fingers on his lips pressed against his cupid's bow, rubbing it again and again, and the icy pheromones followed, slowly seeping into the crease of his lips and landing on the tip of his tongue.
Stinging, rage, annoyance, struggle... one after another, the reactions his body would have when it came into contact with Alph began to stimulate his nerves and attack his brain, making him uncontrollably want to attack.
They wanted to resist.
He wanted to get up and forcefully slam the Alpha who was looking down at him back into his seat, to show him in person who the real winner was...
As his eyes flashed, countless images appeared in Gu Shiyu's mind. His breathing became rapid, and his well-fitting suit was stretched taut by the bulging muscles beneath. The pheromones of red wine spread outwards, surging and roaring, as if trying to tear apart and devour all the surrounding icy pheromones.
Li Qingran blinked, and Gu Shiyu then tried to get up.
However, the next second, a finger suddenly shoved into his mouth was like a switch that had been flipped, causing Gu Shiyu to freeze in place.
As far as the eye could see, the handsome Alpha seemed completely unaffected by the Alph essence. His expression remained calm, and his breathing was steady. Even when a finger was poking and pressing in another Alpha's mouth, there was no extra expression on his face. He was like a doctor, and Gu Shiyu was lying on the operating table, completely at his mercy, waiting for him to save her.
"Stick your tongue out," Gu Shiyu heard Li Qingran say to him.
"..."
Gu Shiyu stuck out her tongue.
The next second, Li Qingran pressed her thumb against the tip of his tongue, and a single, decisive, commanding word fell into Gu Shiyu's ear.
"lick."
"..." Gu Shiyu's lips moved slightly.
He wanted to ask if something was wrong with this.
He wanted to ask if Jiang Siran had received the same punishment before.
He also wanted to ask, what exactly did Li Qingran regard him as at this moment?
Is she her ex-boyfriend's fiancé? A casual friend? An Alpha who inexplicably helped him escape from the airport? Or just a well-behaved and obedient...?
Gu Shiyu wanted to know, but in the end, his tongue twitched twice, and he followed the Alpha's command, licking his master's fingertips again and again, like a little dog, begging for him to look at him more, for a little reward...
"You really look like a puppy..." Gu Shiyu heard Li Qingran chuckle.
He didn't speak, but lowered his eyes and diligently treated the wound on Li Qingran's fingertip, even though he had no idea whether Li Qingran's purpose in letting him lick her finger was to make him continue to clean the wound that was no longer visible.
The warm, moist tongue kept touching and rubbing against the soft skin. Gu Shiyu swallowed the faint trace of icy pheromones. In his blank mind, there was only one thought left—would others treat Li Qingran like this? Su Jingyi, Qi Ziyan, and... Jiang Siran, would they all kneel on one knee in front of Li Qingran like this, accepting his orders that were neither punishment nor reward?
Gu Shiyu didn't know.
He could only kiss Li Qingran's fingers even more forcefully, completely enveloping his fingertips in his mouth, making that icy pheromone even stronger, even more intense, ideally enough to make him dizzy and lose all reason. Otherwise, he truly didn't know how to dispel all the confusion in his heart…
But at that moment, Li Qingran suddenly withdrew her pheromones.
Like a cat toy, it comes closer when he wants to give up, and leaves when he wants to pounce, giving him hope only to dash it later.
Gu Shiyu opened her mouth, but it was empty. "You..."
"You've wrinkled my skin."
Before Gu Shiyu could finish speaking, Li Qingran placed the cat toy in front of him again. Just as Alpha had said, the skin of the finger extended in front of him had changed from smooth and even to wrinkled, with a noticeable small red pit. The surrounding skin was an unnatural white with a faint sheen, clearly caused by prolonged immersion in warm liquid.
It was his fault.
Gu Shiyu blinked twice.
Alpha's voice continued, "What, Mr. Gu, are you dissatisfied with my method of punishment, and are you taking this opportunity to retaliate?"
"No..." Gu Shiyu replied. For some reason, although Li Qingran was clearly questioning him and her attitude was much worse than before, he suddenly felt like laughing when he looked at Alpha's current appearance.
He did laugh.
The handsome and composed Alpha knelt on one knee before Li Qingran, gently taking his hand in his hand as Li Qingran's fingers twitched in front of him in dissatisfaction. His breathing was slightly heavy, but his voice was gentler than ever before.
"I really just wanted to help you treat your wound, but it seems like I've made things worse. I'm sorry, please apologize."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Li Qingran's fingertips again, a fleeting, light touch. Then he looked up, and a light returned to his dark eyes.
"If you're still angry, how about you punish me again?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingran couldn't help but chuckle, "Another punishment?"
He leaned closer to Gu Shiyu, his fingers circling in the Alpha's palm, sliding from the palm to the fingertips, then from the fingertips to the Alpha's lips, before immediately withdrawing them the moment the other opened their mouth.
"Mr. Gu took me to the airport in the middle of the night just so I could be punished a few more times?"
As Gu Shiyu's gaze fell upon him, the handsome young man moved closer. His slightly long black hair cascaded down, complementing his pale face and delicate features, creating a captivating and alluring effect. He was like a ghost or spirit encountered in a mountain stream, someone who would give you their heart at first glance.
Gu Shiyu watched as he smiled and curved his eyebrows at her, then parted his red lips slightly and uttered a sentence.
"That's really... inhuman..."
"..."
Warm breath fell on his skin as Alpha spoke. Gu Shiyu stared blankly at Li Qingran, and the next second, he suddenly shivered.
A tingling sensation spread from my head all the way down to the soles of my feet.
Gu Shiyu could no longer hold back!
"So, do you like it?" Gu Shiyu grabbed Li Qingran's hand and pressed, "Do you like this perverted method?"
Li Qingran blinked. "What? If I say I like it, are you going to continue being this perverted?"
"Of course!" Gu Shiyu thought to herself.
But before he could speak, Li Qingran continued:
"That won't do, after all, you're going to marry Jingyi in the future."
Gu Shiyu was stunned.
The Alpha's clear, gentle voice continued, "You can't be so perverted, the Omega won't be able to handle it, so you should tone it down a bit, at least in front of Jing—"
"Stop talking," Gu Shiyu interrupted him.
Li Qingran could feel the hand Alpha was holding was trembling slightly, as if it was enduring great pain, or some reality that he did not want to accept at the moment.
The fangs finally pierced the lips as it had hoped, and blood trickled down the lip line. In a daze, it seemed as if even the gray eyes that were looking at it were stained red.
"What's wrong?" Li Qingran tilted her head, her voice full of confusion. "Did I say something wrong?"
"……No."
But it is precisely because Li Qingran did not say a single wrong word, and precisely because this is the reality he must face, that it is even more difficult for him to accept.
Why does he have to consider family?
Why does he insist on marrying Su Jingyi?
Why does he have to be bound to an Omega?
Gu Shiyu's mind suddenly became very chaotic, with questions flooding his mind one after another. At the same time, a voice rang in his ears.
He seemed to be answering his question, or perhaps just forcibly shoving a predetermined rule into his mind.
"You should be with an Omega. You must be with Su Jingyi, cooperate with the Su family, develop the Gu family, and live a noisy married life with Su Jingyi. You will comfort his heart that was hurt by his ex-boyfriend, and finally the Omega will realize your feelings that you have hidden for many years, and you will usher in a happy ending."
"This is the life you should be living."
"You must live this kind of life too. You must love Su Jingyi, you absolutely must love Su Jingyi..."
Su Jingyi, Su Jingyi, Su Jingyi!
Why is Su Jingyi everywhere?!
The sound that kept exploding in Gu Shiyu's ears was louder than the thunder outside the window, making his head buzz. He unconsciously tilted his head back and grabbed a soft object that was already in his palm, as if only in this way could he avoid being completely swept away by the waves in this dizzying ocean.
What on earth is going on? Who's speaking?!
For a moment, Gu Shiyu even forgot where she was, where she was kneeling, and who she was facing!
He felt a surge of intense anger rush into his brain along with the dizziness, burning his eyes until they turned red. The increasingly strong pheromones also spread rampantly in the car, just like their young owner who was being pressed down on the seat and was still struggling.
Why?
On what grounds?
Why does he have to like Su Jingyi? Why does he have to be Su Jingyi's lapdog?! If he has to be a lapdog, why does it have to be Su Jingyi? Can't it be—
It cannot be—
……grass!
Gu Shiyu wanted to swear!
Li Qingran's name was stuck in her throat, and no matter how hard Gu Shiyu struggled, she couldn't get it out of her mouth.
At the same time, his throat began to burn with pain, so painful that his eyes turned red and his temples throbbed. His thin lips, stained with blood, were torn again, and his vision became increasingly blurred.
All these abnormal reactions gave him a ridiculous feeling that he was dreaming, but the physical pain he was enduring forced him to accept it soberly—this was reality!
The reality is that he needs to like Su Jingyi, as if only in this way can he be normal, and only then can the world be normal.
But... is this really normal?!
This is not normal!
Gu Shiyu straightened up with force.
Why should his life be controlled by others? Why should he like someone he doesn't like, according to that unknown voice?
He doesn't like Su Jingyi!
I don't like it now, and I definitely won't like it in the future!
"So who do you like?"
In the darkness, someone whispered a question in his ear.
So who exactly is the person you like?
Gu Shiyu blinked, tears of rationality welling up in his eyes under the pressure, but the corners of his lips gradually curved into a slight smile after hearing the question.
"Li Qingran."
"What?"
"The person I like is Li Qingran."
"What about Su Jingyi?"
Tell him to get lost!
An annoyed voice accompanied by a thunderous screech of brakes reached Gu Shiyu's ears, and in the blink of an eye, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
The blinding lights pierced through the dense raindrops and into the car windows, illuminating the originally dim interior.
Gu Shiyu blinked, watching Li Qingran's mouth open and close, but he couldn't hear anything.
"What did you say?" He couldn't help but lean closer to Li Qingran.
“I said…” the latter patiently repeated, “This command might be difficult to execute.”
"What order?"
"The order is to tell him to get out."
"Who are you telling to get lost??"
"Su Jingyi."
Warm breath sprayed on Gu Shiyu's ear, and the Alpha's fingers patted his shoulder comfortingly.
Gu Shiyu was stunned.
The next second, with a "click," a pale, damp hand grabbed Li Qingran's wrist as the door opened.
"Now, can you give my brother back to me?"
