A Charming and Cool Guy Finds Himself in a Chaotic Situation [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 26

Jiang Henggu stared at him without blinking. Yu Mianfeng did not doubt that if given the chance, he would truly do such a thing.

Anger surged in his heart. Yu Mianfeng stood up abruptly from the chair and walked toward the mecha he had been piloting.

The floating camera followed him, recording his every move.

When Yu Mianfeng’s expressionless face appeared on the giant screen, a wave of cheering suddenly erupted from the entire arena.

They were shouting his name.

Yu Mianfeng had always been a popular contestant. Some worshipped him, and some wanted to conquer him, but no one had ever truly defeated him. Thus, the way Alphas looked at him was always exceptionally subtle and scorching.

Regardless of the situation, matches involving him were often sold out. Within the Capital Academy, tickets for matches involving Yu Mianfeng were always hard to come by.

Before the match officially began, contestants needed to perform a mental link with their mecha. Yu Mianfeng spread his mental energy to every inch of the mecha and felt not a shred of resistance.

After a year, his true strength could finally be displayed in an official competition.

A good omen.

The match result was also within Yu Mianfeng’s expectations: he won.

Both mechas had sustained massive damage. Yu Mianfeng’s mecha was slightly better off and could barely stand, while Jiang Henggu’s mecha had its “right leg” half-destroyed hit by Yu Mianfeng’s magnetic quantum cannon and was struggling to maintain its position.

Yu Mianfeng leaped down from the mecha cockpit, still panting, drenched in sweat.

Due to the excessive consumption of mental energy, his brain felt dizzy, and Yu Mianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, leaning against the mecha.

The fact of his victory was broadcast in his ears once again, with Yuan Hechu’s steady voice coming through the stadium’s public address system.

After steadying his breathing slightly and licking his dry lips, Yu Mianfeng looked at the other mecha without a trace of emotion. Before long, Jiang Henggu leaped down from it.

After landing, Jiang Henggu lifted his eyes, and their gazes met.

Jiang Henggu looked like he had many things to say.

This was the closest he had been to Yu Mianfeng in all these days.

In the post-match handshake segment, which was supposed to be a ritualistic touch-and-go affair, Jiang Henggu gripped Yu Mianfeng’s hand back when he tried to pull away.

Countless cameras recorded this scene.

Yu Mianfeng grew somewhat impatient and tried to pull his hand back again, but couldn’t the Alpha’s strength was still too great.

He scolded in a low voice: “Let go. We’ll talk about this later.”

Yet, Jiang Henggu still didn’t release him.

Yu Mianfeng’s fingertips had become warm from the match, and as they made contact with the Alpha’s palm, they no longer felt cold like they usually did.

But Yu Mianfeng was like an ice sculpture he could never be warmed; once someone got close, he would only melt away.

“If I let go now, I won’t have any way to see you again in the future,” Jiang Henggu insisted stubbornly.

“…”

This is a fact.

Just as Yu Mianfeng understood Jiang Henggu exceptionally well, Jiang Henggu also understood him exceptionally well; they were both intimately familiar with one another.

If Jiang Henggu let go at this moment, given Yu Mianfeng’s cold personality, he would absolutely never give him any chance to meet again.

After the handshake segment came the awards ceremony, yet the two protagonists remained frozen on the competition platform, unmoving.

The giant screen replayed the brilliant struggle between the two mechas, and the audience’s attention was gathered there, but Yuan Hechu noticed something was wrong.

Yuan Hechu surveyed the two people on the platform with a calm gaze. His warnings seemed to have absolutely no effect on that Alpha who coveted Yu Mianfeng.

Suddenly, a voice came from beside him.

“The juniors these days are truly passionate, aren’t they? Holding hands for so long during the post-match gratitude segment.”

Chen Xiulan’s affected sigh came from beside him. Yuan Hechu turned his head to look, only to see the other man had already stood up, staring down toward the railing, looking like he was ready to strike at any moment.

“Marshal, aren’t you going to go stop them?”

Chen Xiulan smiled, his eyes twinkling as he alluded to something: “Their relationship is far from good, so you’d better not let any more trouble break out.”

…

On the competition platform.

Jiang Henggu still hadn’t let go.

The look on Yu Mianfeng’s face stung his gaze. He hesitated for a moment, then finally stopped wavering, speaking with a hint of desperation: “…I like you.”

“You always play with me, blowing hot and cold, and now you’ve suddenly decided to draw a line between us. Yu Mianfeng, even if you’re torturing someone, there should be a limit. I’ll do anything you want, but you cannot, you cannot—”

Yu Mianfeng was truly impatient.

He answered coldly: “Cannot what? Cannot discover that you’ve been secretly fantasizing about me?”

When Jiang Henggu heard those two words, his pupils trembled, his grip went limp, and Yu Mianfeng seized the opportunity, using a sharp flick of his wrist to twist the Alpha’s wrist away.

He shook his numb palm and turned to leave. However, Jiang Henggu had completely lost his composure; disregarding the fact that he was still on the competition platform, he suddenly chased after him in an uncontrolled panic, pinning his arm down.

“Who told you something? Listen to my explanation—”

The Alpha’s emotional fluctuations caused pheromones to leak from his body. Amidst the gasps of the people below the stage, the pheromone detection device on the platform erupted into a shrill roar, signaling that the pheromone concentration here had reached a terrifying threshold.

Jiang Henggu hugged Yu Mianfeng tightly from behind.

Even though Yu Mianfeng had anticipated that he would lose his composure, he still couldn’t avoid this embrace.

The impulsive Alpha’s hands clasped together like iron hoops around his waist, his chin resting on his shoulder, begging in a low voice: “Don’t go…”

The scent of mint pheromones surrounded Yu Mianfeng, as if invading his territory only Yu Mianfeng, who was a Beta, could not smell it.

The alarm rang in his ears; every sign indicated that Jiang Henggu had entered his susceptibility period. Such a sudden accident sent everyone into a panicked scramble.

Alphas in their susceptibility period were irritable, manic, and even impulse-driven violence was a common occurrence, while Yu Mianfeng was merely a Beta; he couldn’t soothe him, nor did he have the strength or means to contend with him.

Any small disturbance could provoke this Alpha who had lost his sanity.

The access for all cameras was shut down, prohibiting the recording of this scene.

The giant screen in the center was still playing the fierce battle between the two mechas, but no one was paying attention to it anymore.

People’s gazes were gathered on the platform. Compared to the wide competition platform meant for the combat of giant mechas, those two silhouettes were so small. The crowd could only stare from afar at those two overlapping figures, unable to see clearly exactly what was happening.

At this moment, Jiang Henggu was sniffing lightly at Yu Mianfeng’s fair neck, his canine teeth eager for action.

Yu Mianfeng’s arms were hugged along with him by Jiang Henggu, with only his forearms able to move slightly.

Jiang Henggu’s susceptibility period this time was likely coming on with a vengeance, otherwise, he wouldn’t have done such a thing in front of the public.

Yu Mianfeng was exceptionally clear-headed at this moment; he didn’t carry a gun, and he knew that relying on himself alone, he had no way to independently counter the frenzied Alpha.

All he could do now was soothe Jiang Henggu’s emotions, keep him from doing something excessive, and wait for others to shoot a sedative into the Alpha’s skin.

Yu Mianfeng covered the back of the Alpha’s hand with his palm; this was to make it easier to pry apart the hands of the Alpha, who would soon fall into a coma due to the anesthesia, later on.

Jiang Henggu’s body, however, froze completely due to this action.

The embrace between them was tight and seamless; Yu Mianfeng could clearly feel the person behind him take a deep breath.

Yu Mianfeng said nothing, but suddenly felt a warm liquid sprinkle onto his shoulder and neck.

Large, thick droplets of tears landed on his neck, sliding down into his chest.

Before he could have any thoughts about it, Jiang Henggu let out a muffled groan of pain and collapsed from exhaustion, the hands clasped beneath Yu Mianfeng’s chest releasing their hold.

Yuan Hechu put away his anesthetic gun and walked onto the competition platform together with the accompanying medical staff.

Unlike the others, the person he walked straight toward was Yu Mianfeng.

“Are you injured?” Yuan Hechu asked in a sharp voice.

Yu Mianfeng blinked slowly. After a moment, he opened his mouth: “…No.”
