The Omega Who Canceled the Engagement Ended Up Falling for Me - Chapter 30
Taking advantage of the moment, the lights were turned off, Xu Qing took a breath of inhibitor.
She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to restrain herself—worried that in the heat of marking, she might accidentally injure the other person.
According to some unreliable data, Alphas have a 50% chance of causing destructive harm during their rut, especially inexperienced Alphas performing their first marking.
Xu Qing could only place her hopes on her Omega girlfriend, praying she would be merciful and offer some useful guidance at the critical moment.
“It’s just a temporary marking, don’t take it too seriously,” Fu Shuang said, sitting on the sofa with her knees hugged to her chest. She brushed her brown hair to one side, revealing the elegant curve of her neck. She smiled and added, “If you’re really worried your technique is too poor, you can just leave it to me.”
She said this quite seriously, not sounding like she was joking at all.
Though Xu Qing found it absurd, she still asked with great sincerity, “Are you sure you can do it?”
What was there to be “sure” of? Alphas were thick-skinned; what would happen if she just let her take a bite? At most, it was just a trial to see if it was feasible.
Fu Shuang had seen people on forums doing exactly this.
“I am,” Fu Shuang boasted shamelessly. “If it doesn’t work, we’ll swap and you can do it. I’ll just give you a demonstration.”
Thus, Xu Qing briskly took off her top. She had originally been wearing only a thin sweatshirt with a bra-top underneath. As the sweatshirt was pulled over her head, her waist, abdomen, arms, and neck were revealed in sequence. Seeing Xu Qing’s slender yet clearly defined abdominal muscles, Fu Shuang nearly choked on her own saliva.
She coughed twice, marveling at her own luck. To think she had scavenged such a celestial-tier Alpha sister from a rank, corner bar. With this physique pressing down on her—Fu Shuang wouldn’t be able to stop herself from screaming.
Trembling slightly, she picked up the water glass on the coffee table and took a sip. Her gaze never left Xu Qing’s body. She watched as Xu Qing put a hair tie in her mouth and gathered her loose long hair into a small bun at the back of her head. Her hair was thinned out, so the bun was only about the size of a ping-pong ball, leaving a few strands of baby hair that couldn’t be tied up. It looked crisp and neat… even a bit cute.
All this preparation was simply to make it easier for Fu Shuang to move.
That’s a bit too considerate, hey.
Fu Shuang straightened the sofa cushions she had just messed up, patted them, and signaled for Xu Qing to lean over.
With her long limbs, Xu Qing was like a gracefully built Golden Retriever. Without a word, she leaned over to sit beside Fu Shuang and picked up Fu Shuang’s hand, placing it near her swollen, feverish gland.
Xu Qing still maintained that cold, indifferent expression, yet somehow, in Fu Shuang’s eyes, she looked somewhat pitiful, making Fu Shuang want to draw close and give her tenderness and comfort.
“Sister, your body is so hot…” Fu Shuang murmured. “I’m very hot too. I’ll help you…”
She wrapped both arms around Xu Qing’s neck and leaned forward. Her lips captured those burning lips, nipping at the lower lip that was fuller than her own, before proceeding to kiss her chin and the hollow of her neck… Feeling the changes hidden beneath the skin under her palm, a difficult-to-describe impulse surged in her heart.
The other’s pheromones were like a spring, spreading from the glands beneath the skin to every inch of her body. That steaming, invisible aura instantly filled the entire room. Fu Shuang looked up into her eyes and saw a gaze of unreserved trust—like a newborn animal trusting the first creature it sees upon entering the world, pure and filled only with dependence and affection, burning with a heat that was scalding.
In that instant, a sense of guilt sprouted in Fu Shuang’s heart. Perhaps it was the association with a phrase she had heard somewhere, but Fu Shuang suddenly realized she had unknowingly committed an error. An inexplicable thought surfaced, and Fu Shuang thought secretly, “Oh no,” thinking: “One cannot lightly provoke a love that is too pure.”
But when emotions run high, there is little room to distinguish right from wrong. Fu Shuang unbuttoned her shirt; she needed to get closer to Xu Qing’s body, even if it meant giving herself over without reservation.
Under the influence of pheromones, the two completely enjoyed the process of intimacy. Xu Qing got her wish and touched every inch of the Omega’s skin, finally enduring a sharp pain—she was bitten by Fu Shuang.
That could hardly be called a marking; it was a pure bite from fangs. There was no pleasure to speak of; Xu Qing’s consciousness was filled only with pain.
Even though Xu Qing’s pain tolerance was high enough, being bitten in her most sensitive and fragile spot was enough to make her eyes well up with tears. She almost wanted to call an ambulance.
Seeing the veins bulging on her arm from the pain and the cold sweat pouring down, Fu Shuang finally realized she had messed up. She apologized frantically, at a loss for what to do.
“Should I go get a band-aid?” Seeing her gentle and capable girlfriend tormented like this by her own hand, Fu Shuang was dying of guilt. “Sister, I… I didn’t mean it. I couldn’t help myself…”
On a whim, relying on her “armchair general” technical knowledge, she had wanted to give the Alpha a temporary marking. But in her impulsiveness, she had accomplished nothing and actually injured Xu Qing.
“Does it still hurt?” Fu Shuang lay on top of Xu Qing, blowing on the wound like she was coaxing a child, her voice thick with tears. “I’m really a dog. I’m no different from those stinky Alphas.”
It was common knowledge that an Alpha in heat would bite people everywhere, and inexperienced Alphas were particularly prone to the low-level mistake of biting someone while attempting a first marking—
But a biting Omega was a first, and seeing it in person was even rarer.
Tears were swirling in Xu Qing’s eyes from the pain, yet she was amused by her. Every laugh caused her muscles to contract, making the pain even worse.
“It’s fine, once it hurts to death, it won’t hurt anymore,” Xu Qing rambled. “You could be even more ruthless next time and just give me a free sterilization; that sounds like a good deal too… hiss.”
A tilt of her head tugged at her neck, and the pain made her “disown all her relatives.”
Terrified, Fu Shuang scrambled off her and used her own shirt to wipe Xu Qing’s sweat, saying guiltily, “I’m sorry.”
Her shirt retained the scent of her pheromones, which temporarily acted as a refreshing and pain-relieving agent. Grateful that her mouth still worked, Xu Qing bantered, “It’s fine, I’m not someone who can’t handle it. If you feel guilty, you can just kiss me a little longer.”
Fu Shuang kissed her forehead, her eyes, and her nose, then gave her head a soothing pat.
Seeing her worry so much, Xu Qing actually felt that even if she died of pain like this, it would be worth it.
It was just one life, after all; there was no harm in giving it to her.
“The painkillers are in the medicine cabinet. Help me get one.” Xu Qing lay prone on the pillow, looking withered and adding a few degrees of intentional “selling her misery.”
Fu Shuang put on her nightgown and went barefoot to get the medicine. In her haste, she slammed into the doorframe, eventually returning “tragically” with the painkillers and a glass of water.
Seeing her limping gait, Xu Qing immediately stopped feeling her own pain. She sat up and asked, “Where did you hit yourself?”
Fu Shuang gritted her teeth and said, “It’s nothing. How many of these do I take?”
Xu Qing: “One.”
The aluminum foil on the blister pack made a crisp sound as it was broken. Fu Shuang placed the pill in Xu Qing’s mouth and then fed her a sip of water.
“Does it still hurt?” Fu Shuang sat on the edge of the bed, her thin nightgown covering her fair and delicate legs.
Xu Qing knew that because she had gotten up in a hurry, she was only wearing a single nightgown—the kind that let the wind in from all sides—
“Much better. The medicine works as soon as I swallow it,” Xu Qing said, staring at the thin hem of her skirt and smiling. “Even Hua Tuo couldn’t concoct such a miracle drug, but you can.”
Fu Shuang pursed her lips, not quite having unraveled the meaning of the words before she felt her chin being lifted and a kiss planted on her lips.
“As expected, a kiss can cure a hundred ailments. I really do feel much better,” Xu Qing concluded.
Fu Shuang brushed the stray hairs from her forehead. They were a bit damp with sweat, but she didn’t mind; even the Alpha sister’s sweat felt clean.
“Actually, I don’t know how to mark. I just wanted to try,” Fu Shuang admitted guiltily. “I was reckless this time.”
Xu Qing, amused by who-knows-which part of her sentence, pulled her into her arms and said magnanimously, “I know.”
Fu Shuang sighed: “I’m really sorry. I’ll make it up to you next time.”
Xu Qing: “Leaving the facts aside, this experience was quite unforgettable. Deeply etched in my bones.”
Fu Shuang rolled around in Xu Qing’s arms, tilted her head up, and said, “How about we try again? I’ll compensate you. What do you think?”
Xu Qing’s eyes lit up: “Now?”
Fu Shuang nodded seriously.
To be honest, she did feel she owed her girlfriend. During their intimacy, it was always the other person doing the work, serving her until she was comfortable. Yet not only had Fu Shuang failed to let her be marked, she had bitten her instead.
Fu Shuang’s awareness was high, and her self-reflection was swift. As long as she didn’t end up pregnant, she was willing to do anything right now.
“Come here.” Like a “carp flipping over,” Xu Qing rolled over and pressed Fu Shuang beneath her.
Fu Shuang had already been satisfied once, and she wasn’t quite ready to enter the state for a second time. Her body was a bit stiff, yet her legs voluntarily wrapped around Xu Qing’s waist, slowly rubbing against her.
Xu Qing closed her eyes and kissed her lips, her hands boldly claiming what they wanted. Compared to her previous hesitation, she was now practiced and composed, as if she were a Grand Admiral holding an Imperial Sword, authorized to do as she pleased.
Finally, having received permission, Xu Qing followed her instincts. Carefully, at the back of the Omega’s delicate neck, she sent the pheromone-filled fluid from her fangs into that precise tissue—commonly known as “giving a marking.”
A “marking” could stop an Omega from being in heat for a period of time, unless the Alpha themselves intentionally induced it.
This method not only resolved the Omega’s pain of being unable to care for themselves during their heat but also, to some extent, made the Omega an appendage of the Alpha. The bond established between the two was more singular than physical contact; that is to say, a marked Omega could not possibly accept another Alpha for a period of time, and a forced marking could even be life-threatening.
Having completed this, Xu Qing’s feelings changed. It was as if she rightfully possessed a “belonging” that was exclusively hers. She felt she had to carefully protect the Omega at all times; even someone else looking at her would trigger a strong sense of jealousy.
“You’re holding me too tight…” Fu Shuang was a bit breathless. Physical satisfaction and mental satisfaction were two entirely different levels of things. She began to understand the feelings shared by those people on the forums; the moment the pheromones were injected into the gland, she felt a certain impulse that was hard to put into words. Ultimately, she surrendered to the hormones.
It was already very late.
Fu Shuang lay in Xu Qing’s arms, too tired to move an inch, lacking even the energy to check her phone.
To be precise, she hadn’t exerted much effort, but the mental fatigue was indescribable. It was like a river dike that remains rock-solid against rising water levels, only to break down easily the moment the flood recedes. For a long time, she had coveted the Alpha’s beauty and physique; now that she was finally satisfied, all her strength seemed to have been exhausted.
Fu Shuang closed her eyes slightly, but sensing the other person’s intention to pull away, she woke up instantly, her hand instinctively grabbing Xu Qing’s wrist.
“?” Xu Qing looked at her in surprise and explained, “I’m going to get some water. Do you want to sleep for a bit?”
If Xu Qing stayed with her, she probably would have had a peaceful sleep and left everything else for the next day. But in that moment, Fu Shuang clearly just didn’t want her to leave.
Fu Shuang herself was a bit shocked—since when had she become such a clingy person?
The emotions of surprise and being at a loss were plain to see in those hazel eyes. Feeling a pang of tenderness, Xu Qing pulled her close, gathering her entirely into her arms and soothingly stroking the top of her head.
Xu Qing wasn’t some genius, but she had guessed it: her stubborn, face-loving Omega girlfriend was likely being marked for the first time.
The suddenly established connection was like a binding strap wrapping around her, which was why she was so lost.
