Chapter 9: A Bite for His Wife

Enigma Period? (Susceptibility/Heat Period?)

Hearing this term, which was practically foreign to him, Xu Jingchu didn’t react for a moment.

Xiao Yu: Chuchu, did you forget? There are six genders in this world. An Alpha’s “Susceptibility Period” is essentially like a male being in heat. You are in great danger right now; you cannot stay with him.

Xu Jingchu, a “straight” young man who had absolutely no concept of ABO dynamics—and hadn’t even bothered to wear an Omega scent-blocking patch—couldn’t quite wrap his head around it. “Why am I in danger just because he’s in heat?”

Xiao Yu replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world: Because you are an Omega.

Xu Jingchu: “So?”

Xiao Yu froze: What do you mean, ‘so’?

Xu Jingchu was genuinely confused: “He is an Alpha, and I am an Omega. What does an Alpha being in heat have to do with me, an Omega?”

Normally, if a man has “needs,” shouldn’t he go look for a woman?

Xiao Yu was being spun around by his logic and, for a moment, didn’t know how to argue back. Ultimately, it was just a system without human emotions, and with its current database malfunctioning and many files lost, its knowledge was extremely limited.

The “useless” Xiao Yu struggled to think: Why exactly is an Omega in danger during an Alpha’s Susceptibility Period again…

During the brief time the man and the system were communicating, Huo Yan stared with bloodshot eyes through the mirror at the boy dazed behind him. His Alpha instincts were screaming at him to ruthlessly break the boy, while his remaining shred of sanity desperately suppressed the surging, boiling pheromones within.

“Ngh—” Huo Yan bit the tip of his tongue hard. The metallic taste of blood instantly filled his mouth, the dull pain granting his mind a fleeting moment of clarity.

Xu Jingchu hesitated. “Do you… need help?”

His intention was to ask if the man needed help finding a woman to resolve the situation, but to Huo Yan’s ears at this moment, the words took on a completely different meaning.

The boy was inviting him.

Xu. Jing. Chu. Was. Inviting. Him.

The man’s already crimson eyes turned even darker. All restraint and desperate endurance vanished in an instant. The top-tier Alpha pheromones were like a water balloon that suddenly went pop, exploding and attacking everyone in the space indiscriminately.

Xu Jingchu, completely caught off guard, felt his body suddenly go weak. With a muffled groan, he stumbled forward.

In the next second, a heavy scent of the ocean closed in. His world spun, and he found himself pinned face-down against the cold washstand by the man’s crushing weight.

“Hiss—” The spot on Xu Jingchu’s waist that had been bruised by Zhang Yihui at the studio earlier inevitably slammed against the hard, cold edge of the sink. The sharp pain momentarily drowned out his physiological discomfort. His exquisite face turned as white as paper, and his hands instinctively braced against the counter.

“Hah— hah—” Scorchingly hot breath fell against the side of his neck. The man’s body, like fire, pressed tightly against him. Amidst his weakness and distress, Xu Jingchu couldn’t help but shiver. He spoke with difficulty: “Huo… Yan?”

Influenced by the top-tier Alpha’s pheromones, his voice became exceptionally soft. To Huo Yan’s ears, this softness acted as yet another catalyst.

“Xu Jingchu… Chuchu…” The man’s whispered voice trembled. His burning lips followed instinct, hovering over the Omega’s pale nape before finally stopping at the delicate gland.

“Huo Yan…” Xu Jingchu’s voice involuntarily carried a hint of a sob. His eyelashes fluttered violently like cicada wings, quickly becoming wet with physiological tears, making him look pitifully vulnerable.

“What are you do—”

Before the final syllable could leave his throat, Xu Jingchu’s pupils suddenly dilated. Behind him, the Alpha’s sharp canine teeth sank into his fragile gland without resistance.

“Ngh—!”

Xu Jingchu groaned in pain. His slender, white swan-like neck arched back uncontrollably, forming a heart-stopping curve.
