The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Becomes The Heartthrob of the Dating Show - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: His Lips Are Very Kissable

Huo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. Standing before him was a young Beta, dressed with extreme precision. Even in an art studio where paint splatters were a constant risk, he was impeccably clean, without a single flaw to be found. Yet, because of this over-meticulousness, he gave off the impression of someone deliberately packaging their exterior to conceal something within.

Huo Yan sensed a thick wave of hostility emanating from the man, despite having never met him before.

The man grew thoughtful, his mind shifting to the beautiful boy by his side. For some reason, a surge of irritability rose in his heart—as if something belonging to him was being coveted by another. His dark, heavy gaze met Zhang Yihui’s, and the aura of a top-tier Alpha superior descended silently.

Zhang Yihui was like bacteria surreptitiously breeding in a dark, damp corner, donning a human skin to walk among others; he was insecure and cowardly, utterly unable to withstand such pressure. He took half a step back, his face turning pale.

“He is my friend.” Xu Jingchu didn’t notice the tension between the two. He was genuinely happy about Huo Yan’s arrival, his entire being seemingly radiant. “Would you like some water? I’ll pour some for you.”

Zhang Yihui felt ignored. Just as he was about to speak, Huo Yan shifted imperceptibly, blocking him behind his shoulder. He looked down slightly at the sun-like boy. “No need. I’d like to take a look around the studio, if that’s alright?”

His tone was so gentle it made the aggressive display from moments ago feel like a mere hallucination to Zhang Yihui.

“Of course.” Xu Jingchu said with a beam. He naturally led the man further inside, softly introducing the studio’s decor and layout as they walked.

Huo Yan listened absently, his gaze drifting to the boy’s opening and closing lips. The boy had a beautiful lip shape—a tempting pink hue. When he spoke, they would curve into a slight arc, and the labial tubercle in the center was slightly fleshy. They looked soft, and very… kissable.

Huo Yan suddenly felt his throat grow exceptionally dry and itchy. The gland at the back of his neck burned more intensely, even beginning to throb with a dull ache.

The man’s brow furrowed slightly as he finally sensed something was wrong.

Was his rut coming early?

Left behind, Zhang Yihui stared fixedly at their retreating backs. Jealousy and inferiority drowned him in a frenzy.

As expected, he looks down on Betas. Any Alpha shows up and he eagerly crawls toward them to seduce them, smiling so lewdly.

Xu Jingchu, how can you seduce other men after you already seduced me? Omegas are so cheap! Every Omega in the world is cheap!!

“Teacher Zhang, what color should I use for this?” a little girl nearby asked softly.

Zhang Yihui didn’t even look at her. He clenched his fists and marched forward a few steps, shouting angrily, “Xu Jingchu! This is working hours, and you’re actually bringing an outsider in to wander around!”

Xu Jingchu turned back with a frown. “Don’t shout like that, you’ll scare the children.” He paused, looking puzzled. “The studio doesn’t have a rule saying visitors aren’t allowed during work hours, does it?”

Normally, many parents would bring their children to tour the studio environment before deciding whether to enroll them. It was a standard procedure.

Xu Jingchu was asking a genuine question, but in Zhang Yihui’s ears, it sounded like mockery.

“He’s your friend! Bringing him in privately during work hours is just wrong!” Zhang Yihui’s eyes were bloodshot, his face slightly distorted by rage.

Huo Yan stepped in front of Xu Jingchu, his usually warm eyes bleeding with wisps of coldness. His voice was low and commanding: “Does your boss dictate that an employee’s friend is forbidden from stepping foot in here?”
