After Transmigrating into an ABO World with My Rival - Chapter 23

The heat had ended, but Chen Yanzhi’s dependence on Fu Tingyue’s pheromones was only growing. If Fu Tingyue was out of his sight, he would become restless, and his temperament would turn extremely agitated.

Consequently, Fu Tingyue spent the next few days working from home rather than going to the office, holding Chen Yanzhi in his arms even while handling business matters.

Chen Yanzhi felt that this wasn’t right, it was far too abnormal. However, he couldn’t control himself. As long as he could smell Fu Tingyue’s pheromones, he felt incredibly happy and his anxiety vanished, leaving him in a state of absolute comfort.

At that moment, Chen Yanzhi was slumped in Fu Tingyue’s embrace, feeling lazy and weak. “Fu Tingyue, is there any way to stop the heat from coming, or can I undergo gender reassignment to become an Alpha? I don’t want to be an Omega anymore.”

Fu Tingyue paused visibly. He naturally patted Chen Yanzhi’s back and spoke in a gentle tone, “No, there isn’t. It’s normal to be afraid the first time. You’ll get used to it gradually, and I’m right here.”

Chen Yanzhi slowly turned his face to look at Fu Tingyue’s sharp jawline, his large eyes filled with curiosity. “Were you scared during your first rut too?”

Fu Tingyue spoke truthfully, “I was.”

He had been terrified of that sensation, especially the fear of accidentally harming Chen Yanzhi. Fu Tingyue’s first rut had been spent in a state of constant trepidation, and he hadn’t fared much better than Chen Yanzhi.

The only advantage was that as a top-tier Alpha, he didn’t suffer from a withdrawal period after his rut ended. He was able to return to normal the instant it was over.

Chen Yanzhi suddenly murmured, “Luckily I have you.”

Fu Tingyue found it impossible to continue working. He looked down and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“Hmm?” Chen Yanzhi raised his eyes, his reaction a bit slow. “Just the literal meaning.”

Fu Tingyue’s gaze slowly swept across Chen Yanzhi’s lips. Suppressing the urge to kiss him, he asked hoarsely, “Can I interpret that as you being unable to leave me, that you can’t live without me?”

Chen Yanzhi thought about it and decided Fu Tingyue’s interpretation was correct. “You could say that.”

If he were able to leave, he wouldn’t be clinging so tightly to Fu Tingyue right now.

Satisfied, Fu Tingyue released even more pheromones than before. Surrounded by the potent scent of red wine, Chen Yanzhi couldn’t help but feel drowsy.

Seeing his drooping eyelids and exhausted expression, Fu Tingyue instinctively softened his movements. Before long, Chen Yanzhi was asleep. Fu Tingyue gently checked the other man’s gland; the wound hadn’t fully healed yet and still needed medication.

He had been too excited during those few days, and since it was his first time performing a temporary mark, he lacked experience. Chen Yanzhi’s gland had suffered quite a bit.

Of course, even during his heat, Chen Yanzhi wasn’t one to take things lying down. Fu Tingyue’s own gland had nearly been bitten to pieces by him.

The two of them had bitten each other’s glands to such an extent that they almost crossed the point of no return. It was fortunate that Fu Tingyue wasn’t in a rut, otherwise, there was no telling what might have happened.

After applying the medicine, Jiang Tang sent a message saying it was time to take Chen Yanzhi to the hospital. Fu Tingyue grabbed a coat from the rack, draped it over Chen Yanzhi, and carried him downstairs.

Chen Yanzhi’s differentiation had been too sudden. Worried about his health, Fu Tingyue had scheduled a comprehensive check-up in advance.

The hospital was an investment of the Fu family. Taking Chen Yanzhi there meant his family would inevitably find out, but Fu Tingyue didn’t care. Compared to other hospitals, the Fu family’s facility possessed a higher level of medical expertise. If they wanted to know, let them; he could protect Chen Yanzhi regardless.

Chen Yanzhi woke up before they reached the hospital. Upon hearing he was going for a check-up, he simply tilted his head and went back to sleep against Fu Tingyue.

After completing a series of tests, Chen Yanzhi was too exhausted to move. He didn’t want to walk a single step, but he felt too embarrassed to keep hanging off Fu Tingyue. Instead, he pressed his forehead against Fu Tingyue’s back, forcing the other man to lead him along.

Fu Tingyue looked helpless, yet he indulged Chen Yanzhi’s playfulness without limit.

Once they were in the doctor’s office, Fu Tingyue asked with a look of concern, “I thought people didn’t undergo secondary differentiation after reaching adulthood. Why did he suddenly differentiate into an Omega? Is it because he has been staying with me?”

The doctor held up the test results for a moment, frowning. “This doesn’t look like secondary differentiation.”

Fu Tingyue’s brow furrowed. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t be nervous, Mr. Fu. It’s not a bad thing,” the doctor said, placing the report in front of Fu Tingyue and pointing to a specific curve. “Mr. Chen’s indicators are all normal. Secondary differentiation usually comes with many complications. In Mr. Chen’s case, it seems he simply hadn’t differentiated yet. He has remained in an undifferentiated state since birth.”

Fu Tingyue’s frown deepened. “Isn’t it normal to differentiate around thirteen or fourteen, or eighteen at the latest?”

The doctor fell silent for a few minutes before looking at Chen Yanzhi. “Mr. Chen, were you suffering from anemia and malnutrition before?”

Chen Yanzhi looked blank. He had no idea what his condition was during his last check-up, so he instinctively looked at Fu Tingyue.

Fu Tingyue nodded. “Yes, and his physical health was very poor.”

The doctor tapped the desk and smiled at them. “Then that explains it. Because of malnutrition, his body hadn’t met the conditions for differentiation. That’s why he only differentiated now. Looking at his current indicators, everything is normal. It should be because his health has improved that he differentiated naturally. It wasn’t actually caused by the influence of your pheromones, Mr. Fu.”

Fu Tingyue didn’t feel relieved. Instead, his worry grew. “Is it because the differentiation happened so late that the heat was so severe?”

Fu Tingyue had never seen what a normal Omega heat looked like, but it surely couldn’t be as intense as Chen Yanzhi’s.

“Yes. Because the pheromones were suppressed for too long, the sudden release is bound to be more severe. It will be much better in the future. Moreover,” the doctor paused for effect, examining another sheet for a long time before smiling. “Mr. Chen is an S-class Omega. Both the differentiation heat and regular heats are more intense than those of ordinary Omegas. However, with an SS-class Alpha like Mr. Fu by his side, there’s no need to worry. You two can go for a pheromone compatibility test later; you might find a pleasant surprise.”

“S-class?” Chen Yanzhi suddenly perked up, though his tone was oddly disappointed. “Why isn’t it SS-class? Can I differentiate again into an SS-class later?”

Fu Tingyue was an SS-class, so he wanted to be one too.

The doctor was stunned for a moment, then laughed. “Mr. Chen, you must be joking. Currently, there are no double S-class Omegas in this world, and SS-class Alphas are also few and far between. It’s possible that a top Alpha and a top Omega could produce a double S-class Omega, but as of now, there hasn’t been such a union. This is just my speculation.”

Chen Yanzhi didn’t care about whether a top Alpha and a top Omega could produce a double S-class. What he cared about was: “How many top Omegas are there in the world right now? Are there a thousand?”

The doctor shook a finger in front of his eyes. “No more than a hundred. They are as rare as top Alphas.”

Compared to top Alphas, top Omegas were actually rarer. A-class Omegas were already uncommon, and top Omegas usually possessed specific family genes. Those who carried these genes were typically from wealthy or noble backgrounds.

Fu Tingyue was able to differentiate into a top Alpha because it had appeared in the Fu family’s ancestry before. So-called genetic mutations are built upon existing foundations.

Chen Yanzhi was instantly delighted. He grabbed Fu Tingyue’s arm with a face full of joy. “Fu Tingyue, did you hear that? I’m a top-tier Omega, just as rare as you.”

Fu Tingyue patted his arm to calm him down, then turned back to the doctor. “Is there anything else we should be mindful of?”

To Fu Tingyue, it made no difference whether Chen Yanzhi was a top-tier Omega, a regular Omega, or a Beta. Chen Yanzhi was simply Chen Yanzhi.

After flipping through the remaining reports, the doctor looked up at Fu Tingyue. “Mr. Chen’s pheromones are still somewhat unstable, and his reproductive chamber hasn’t fully developed yet. Do not use suppressants for the time being.”

Fu Tingyue made a serious note of this. Suddenly remembering something, he narrowed his eyes at the doctor. “Is there something else you haven’t finished saying?”

The doctor was amazed by Fu Tingyue’s sharp observation. With an awkward smile, he said to Chen Yanzhi, “Generally, differentiating into a top Alpha or Omega happens because the family carries those genes. I noticed on your form that you are an orphan. When you go to register your Omega status, you can have them check the genetic database. You might be able to find your family.”

Chen Yanzhi was stunned for a moment and looked up at Fu Tingyue. “Family?”

Fu Tingyue nodded to him. “It’s worth a try. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find them.”

Even though it wasn’t essential, if Chen Yanzhi’s parents in this world were good to him, Fu Tingyue didn’t mind finding them so that Chen Yanzhi could experience familial love here too.

After leaving the doctor’s office, Chen Yanzhi waved his hand dismissively. “Why bother looking? They aren’t important.”

Regardless, they weren’t his real parents. If they truly cared, they wouldn’t have left the original owner of this body as an orphan for all those years.

Judging by the doctor’s words, those who differentiated into top Omegas or Alphas were usually from major families. It probably involved some melodramatic “wealthy family drama,” and he didn’t want to go looking for trouble. The current situation was fine; he and Fu Tingyue relied on each other, and neither would abandon the other.

Seeing that he felt that way, Fu Tingyue didn’t press the matter. He accompanied Chen Yanzhi to register his Omega status, collected the necessary supplies, and left. However, once the staff saw “orphan” listed under Chen Yanzhi’s family background, they reported it immediately. Since top-tier Omegas had a special status, a thorough investigation was required.

Chen Yanzhi was unaware of this. At that moment, he was busy studying his pheromone bracelet.

Click. The bracelet was successfully unlocked via fingerprint. Chen Yanzhi put it on and began researching how to use it.

After setting the bracelet to the lowest level, he turned and asked, “Fu Tingyue, can you still smell my pheromones now?”

Fu Tingyue shook his head. “No.”

Chen Yanzhi looked at his slender wrist for a while, struck by a sudden thought. “This thing is amazing. Do you think we could make these back in our world for people with strong body odors? It would block the smell and make the world a better place.”

Fu Tingyue couldn’t help but chuckle. “That’s a thought.”

Chen Yanzhi huffed. “I’m being serious. What are you laughing at?”
