I Confessed to the Wrong Enigma, Then Got Pregnant as a Top Alpha [Transmigration] - Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Qi Ran’s scalp tingled: “There must be a mistake. Jiang Siheng is an Alpha, and I’m an Alpha too. He wants to mark me? Isn’t marking something that only happens between an Alpha and an Omega (AO)?”
For classmate Qi Ran, who was equally deficient in both the theory and practice of the ABO world, he simply assumed that marking could only occur between an AO pair. Now, Little White Chirp was suddenly telling him that an Alpha had developed a desire to mark him as well.
He felt as though the gates to a whole new world were about to swing open for him.
Little White Chirp flapped its wings: [Not at all! If feelings and marking only happened between AOs, then before you arrived, how could the male supporting character have fallen for the protagonist “gong” (top) Jiang Sen? So, gender is never the problem; as long as the heart moves, everything is possible. Oh, by the way, according to the official settings, this world doesn’t just have AO relationships; it can also have AA and AB relationships. At the same time, there is a very special gender existence—these people are currently very rare—the Enigma. Rumor has it that the specialty of an Enigma is that an Alpha marked by them will undergo a second differentiation, transforming from an A into an O. Isn’t that amazing!]
Qi Ran stared at the open gate of this new world and remained silent for three seconds: “So, where exactly is this ‘official’ source from?”
[It’s just the setting in the book. But don’t worry, according to the book’s setting, the number of Enigmas is extremely small. You don’t need to worry about encountering one and changing from an A to an O.]
“Where do you get your confidence? How can you be so sure I won’t run into one? Just because I’m unlucky enough?” Qi Ran stripped off his clothes, preparing to take a shower. “Say, Jiang Siheng wouldn’t actually want to mark me, would he?”
The moment he thought of Jiang Siheng having such ideas about him, he couldn’t help but start worrying about his “purity.”
…
Meanwhile, sitting in a consultation room, Jiang Siheng sneezed. Seeing this, the man across the desk glanced at him and asked warmly, “Caught a cold?”
Jiang Siheng shook his head: “Probably not. How is it?”
Lin Nan looked at the data displayed on the computer: “You said your pheromones became restless this morning, and this was right after you had been injected with the XSA-type suppressant. Logically, it should remain highly effective within 48 hours. You’ve had good results using this clinical suppressant before. Normally, without a trigger, such a problem wouldn’t occur. So, who were you with from last night until this morning, and what happened?”
Lin Nan looked at him with great interest. The moment he threw out that question, Jiang Siheng’s brow furrowed. As Jiang Siheng’s primary physician and close friend, Lin Nan prided himself on knowing him quite well.
If something hadn’t truly happened, Jiang Siheng would absolutely not show such a look of irritation.
Seeing that he didn’t want to speak, Lin Nan wasn’t in a hurry: “You should be clear about your situation. As a rare Enigma, your pheromone concentration is inherently much higher than an Alpha’s. Even a tiny leak of your restless pheromones would likely be around thirty percent—the concentration of a normal Alpha wanting to mark a favored Omega. The other person isn’t your ‘person of interest,’ right? Although you are an Enigma, pheromone restlessness still fluctuates with the owner’s mood.”
“No, you’re overthinking it,” Jiang Siheng spoke up in denial. “Just prescribe some medicine for me.”
Lin Nan looked at him with a smile: “No need for medicine. Let’s observe first. Or are you afraid you won’t be able to control yourself?”
Knowing that Lin Nan was teasing him, Jiang Siheng’s face remained void of extra expression: “Don’t fill in the blanks with your own imagination. It’s not what you think.”
The smile in Lin Nan’s eyes deepened: “Oh, I’m not imagining anything.”
If something weren’t actually going on, given Jiang Siheng’s personality, why would he specifically add that sentence?
However, Lin Nan knew when to stop; he couldn’t actually provoke the man to anger: “Have there been any more headaches or tinnitus lately?”
“A few times, not seriously.”
Lin Nan nodded: “I’ve told you, your headaches and tinnitus are mostly caused by emotional fluctuations. Keep a good mood, and your health will be halfway recovered. Want to go grab a meal together?”
Jiang Siheng shook his head: “No, I’m going back to rest.”
Seeing him about to leave, Lin Nan hurriedly stood up to follow: “Next week is Gu Bai’s birthday. Do you want to come? Qi Su will probably be there too.”
Jiang Siheng, who was walking out, paused. His handsome jawline tightened, and he didn’t give a direct answer: “We’ll talk about it later.”
Lin Nan arched an eyebrow, watching him get into the car, somewhat surprised that he hadn’t directly accepted.
In the past, Jiang Siheng would agree to most things related to Qi Su.
How rare!
…
On Qi Ran’s side, after coming out of the shower, he specifically asked Little White Chirp to re-detect if there were any of Jiang Siheng’s pheromones left on him.
Little White Chirp lay in his mind with a lazy posture: [Didn’t I just say? You have to use a high-concentration masking agent to hide it. You can’t wash it off just by bathing. Even if you scrub your skin raw, the scent will still be there.]
After speaking, it lazily rolled over.
Qi Ran: “…”
Are these pheromones? Even a dog marking its territory isn’t as powerful or persistent as he is!
Helpless, Qi Ran could only go online to buy a bottle of high-concentration, extra-strength masking agent.
What else could he do? He couldn’t exactly parade around town covered in the scent of pheromones, could he? That bastard Jiang Siheng might be shameless, but Qi Ran still cared about his dignity, okay?
The guy looked like a proper gentleman, but who knew he was such a “closet pervert.”
He’d almost been fooled.
While complaining in his heart, Qi Ran asked Little White Chirp: “How are Lu Ling and Jiang Sen doing?”
Last night he had the bar waiter contact Jiang Sen; it should have gone smoothly, right?
He’d been so busy until now that he only just remembered to ask.
Hearing this question, Little White Chirp scrambled up. After 30 seconds, it suddenly started jumping around: [Oh no! Oh no! I’ve detected a downward trend in the affection value between the protagonist gong and shou! If the affection value drops below 100, the plot line will break directly, and this world will collapse along with it. Host, please provide a remedy immediately! Remedy immediately!!]
Qi Ran remained as steady as Mount Tai, though he was slightly speechless: “…What is their current affection value?”
Haven’t they already made their feelings clear to each other? How could it still slide? Is this what they call “a story full of twists and turns”?
[20. Currently, the protagonist gong and shou’s affection value is 20. It’s too dangerous, baby is scared!]
Qi Ran: “What was it before this?”
Only 20 after revealing their feelings? How low was it before?
[8. It was only 8 before.]
Qi Ran: “…Are you joking with me? Isn’t this an increase?”
Little White Chirp flapped its wings, but its body was too fat to actually fly: [They only gained 12 points after revealing their feelings! We are still more than 900 points away from the full 1000 affection points. Isn’t that a terrifying thing? And originally it was at 25 points, but it dropped by 5 points for some unknown reason. Host, take this seriously!]
Qi Ran, whose heart was already somewhat like still water: “Anyway, the world only ends if it drops below 100, and it’s still a positive number right now. No need to rush. Don’t I still have 2 days of life? I’ll rest for a bit, and tomorrow…”
[A new mission is now being released: Host, please push the protagonist gong and shou’s affection value up by 100 points within one day. Upon completion, you will receive a 30-day life reward and one chance at a lucky draw.]
Qi Ran, who had just lied down, stood up again.
Help me up. I can still do this.
