Chapter 16 Cannon Fodder Ex-Boyfriend 16 Mistakes and Compensation, Schemes and Haste...
Are there really no normal people in this group?!
Li Qingran tilted her head back to avoid Qi Ziyan's hot, wet kiss, supporting herself with one hand on the ground while raising the other to grasp the Omega's chin.
The icy fingertips sank into the soft cheek, the extremely low temperature not calming the Omega down, but instead making him even more excited. The slender fingers climbed up Li Qingran's wrist like vines, and the head that had been held high since the Alpha opened the door lowered down.
The cheek flesh between two fingers rubbed slowly against the fingertips, then stopped at the Alpha's tiger's mouth.
As Li Qingran watched, Qi Ziyan eagerly opened his mouth, but instead of biting his hand fiercely as he had in the private room, he stuck out a pink tongue and tentatively licked the web of his hand that was taut from the force of his fingers.
"..."
He really is... who's in their most vulnerable period right now?!
Li Qingran immediately flung her hand away, her movements as swift as if she were on fire.
“I’ve already said I don’t need your help,” Alpha said, frowning.
Qi Ziyan moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just stared at Li Qingran and blinked slowly before taking a step back.
A drop of water fell from beneath his lowered head, hitting the floor with a "plop," leaving a damp patch with a faint honey scent.
Li Qingran ignored whether the dampness was getting worse, and looked around for the location of the inhibitor before reaching out to pick it up.
It's obvious that he didn't have much strength at the moment, which doesn't actually match the behavior of most Alphas during their vulnerable period. After all, Alphas are usually irritable, easily angered, and extremely destructive during this time.
However, Li Qingran guessed that these Alphas, whose destructive power was so strong that they could even tear apart an entire family, probably did not have any Omegas around them during their susceptible period.
If there is an Omega around them, especially an Omega they don't want to mark but who keeps releasing pheromones at them, it's more painful than being slowly sliced to death.
The cloyingly sweet honey felt like it had just been poured from a clay pot onto him, scalding hot, and seemed to contain sparks of pheromones. The moment it touched the Alpha, it caused intense pain. Li Qingran even had the illusion that his skin was about to be burned off, and the slightest movement of his hand would cause even greater pain.
The burning sensation, as if she had been thrown into scalding hot syrup, made Li Qingran only want to inject the inhibitor into her body to calm herself down and reduce the effects of Omeg.
Otherwise, if this stalemate continues, he can't guarantee that he won't completely lose his mind.
Marking someone as an Omega is a minor matter; the problem is that he doesn't want to create extra trouble for his commute home.
He has been working overtime for a long time.
By the way, who was the second male lead's official love interest in the novel again...?
While trying to distract himself with random thoughts, Li Qingran moved toward the inhibitor. His clean, rounded fingertips quickly touched the transparent glass tube containing the icy blue liquid, but before he could grasp it, his body froze.
You and him—
The inhibitor that was almost within her grasp was pushed away again. Li Qingran subconsciously grabbed Qi Ziyan's hand, who was about to continue his actions.
"you--"
"Why are you rejecting me?" Qi Ziyan interrupted Li Qingran, while slowly moving closer to him.
The item was still in his palm. Perhaps afraid that he would hurt himself, Alpha did not shake him off as forcefully as before after grabbing his wrist.
He could only lean back against the shoe cabinet, his chest heaving as his white shirt was stretched taut. His brows, which were usually distant and polite when he looked at him, furrowed slightly, a faint red tinge extending from the center of his eyes to the corners, and his dark pupils were also filled with a hazy mist.
He appears very fragile and easily controlled, and he is currently being controlled by himself...
This realization excited Qi Ziyan even more, and he unconsciously wanted to continue what was being done. But before he could even move, the fingers gripping his wrist tightened suddenly, and above him, the Alpha's voice carried a hint of annoyance.
"Young Master Qi, don't go too far."
Alpha paused, his hand between his legs.
"Even so, are you still going to refuse me? It was the same in the private room before. No matter how much I begged you, you wouldn't help me. Now you won't let me help you either..."
How much initiative does an Alpha need to take before they'll agree?
Is it completely rotten?
Omega spoke softly, her tone sounding quite aggrieved.
But Li Qingran just felt that he was being unreasonable.
They weren't close, and their only interaction was when Omega and Gu Shiyu plotted to make him leave Su Jingyi, but they failed.
So he really didn't understand why the Omega was suddenly so insistent on helping him. Didn't the other person always say that she was Su Jingyi's good friend? If she was going to help, she should help Su Jingyi. If she wanted the two of them to break up, she should advise the other person not to be so love-struck. Why was she getting entangled with him, her boyfriend who wanted to break up with Su Jingyi but couldn't? Now she had even hit him...
Can't you wake up?!
Li Qingran took a deep breath. "It seems we're not in a relationship where we can help each other."
"So, who do you have this kind of relationship with?"
Qi Ziyan said in a low voice. He looked up at Li Qingran, his lips slightly upturned, but his cheeks were covered with tears as he tried to smile. He wanted to laugh, but tears kept welling up in his eyes, sliding down his chin, onto their clasped wrists, and then down his skin onto the Alpha's black pants, leaving a dark stain.
He still didn't want to let go, and his voice carried a morbid obsession.
"Then who can you help each other with? Su Jingyi? But didn't you just promise me that you would consider breaking up with him? Why did you choose him again?"
Are you lying to me?
"Why did you lie to me? How could you lie to me..."
Tears streamed down the Omega's face like a broken string of pearls. His voice grew softer, but his grip tightened.
"So the one who is wrong is not me, but you."
Therefore, he needs to be compensated; he absolutely must be compensated!
Qi Ziyan reached out and wiped the tears from his face. His originally light brown pupils turned completely black in the dim light, empty and deep. All the tangled and struggling emotions were swallowed up, leaving only an urgent desire to pursue pleasure.
The aroma of honey around them grew stronger, and Li Qingran's headache worsened.
Thump thump thump—
The throbbing incessantly in my temples felt like someone was hammering at them repeatedly, or like the sound of footsteps gradually approaching this darkness...
As soon as Su Jingyi stepped off the elevator, even though he was the only one inside, he couldn't help but turn back to make sure Gu Shiyu hadn't followed him.
Although the other party made it clear that he would not do anything bad to his brother, Su Jingyi still did not want him to see Li Qingran, especially since Li Qingran was in a vulnerable period.
That was a novel side of the Alpha that even he had never seen before; it could only be seen by him, and only he could comfort the other.
Even if he were marked by an Alpha, or treated even more roughly, Su Jingyi would gladly accept it...
With a light lick of his lower lip, Su Jingyi's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily as he thought about what might happen in the room later, and his pace quickened considerably.
The house he arranged for Li Qingran was located near the end of the corridor, a bit far from the elevator, but not so far that it would take forever to reach the door.
Light footsteps echoed in the quiet corridor, approaching from afar. As they passed a door that hadn't been properly closed, Su Jingyi seemed to smell a sweet caramel aroma.
The people inside were probably making the recently popular candied hawthorn with milk skin. The caramel flavor was mixed with a hint of milk fragrance. Su Jingyi had to admit that the smell was very pleasant, but at the same time, it brought back a memory that he didn't really want to recall.
The person in my memory always had a sweet scent about him, which, combined with his chestnut hair, made him look like the roasted chestnuts that Su Jingyi loved to eat in winter. But just because he liked to eat them didn't mean he liked to let Li Qingran eat them, much less that he wanted Li Qingran to taste the Omega that exuded that pheromone.
The private room that Su Jingyi had vandalized after the rain reappeared before the Omega's eyes amidst the caramel scent. The orange lights flickered, and the figure swaying on the Alpha's back appeared along with it...
He doesn't really need to worry about it too much.
Because Alpha did not mark Qi Ziyan.
Qi Ziyan didn't do it on purpose. After all, an Omega in the heat of mating can climb onto any Alpha without even realizing it.
Su Jingyi didn't think Qi Ziyan did it on purpose. After all, no one would act recklessly when they're in the throes of passion. Besides, Qi Ziyan had shown resistance and disgust when Su Jingyi mentioned Li Qingran before, so it was clear that he didn't want to be interested in her.
So, blame Gu Shiyu for scheming against all three of them!
He originally went to the hospital today to talk to Qi Ziyan about this matter, but for some reason, the other party suddenly left the hospital and then disappeared for an entire afternoon as if he had vanished into thin air. He couldn't get through to her when he called her.
They probably really have something urgent to deal with.
Su Jingyi didn't focus too much on the missing Qi Ziyan. Especially when he placed his fingertip on the recognition system and the fingerprint recognition was successful with a "beep", all he could think about was the Alpha in the room who was suffering from his sensitive period.
Don't worry, brother, I'll comfort you right now...
With a light bite to the tip of his tongue and a look of anticipation on his face, Omega slowly pushed open the gray-black door in front of him.
A black crack appeared, and an extremely high concentration of pheromones surged out, carrying a powerful icy aura that instantly excited Su Jingyi.
However, before he could eagerly push open the door, throw himself into the Alpha's arms, and lower his head to let the other bite his glands to relieve the other's discomfort while satisfying himself, he suddenly detected another scent in the cool pheromones.
Sweet.
Rich and flavorful.
Once again, it seemed to assert its dominance, swirling around the icy air...
Su Jingyi clenched her fingers tightly.
