The Seductive Wife Kisses and Teases While His Black-Bellied Childhood Friend Spoils Him Crazy - Chapter 5

In the dormitory, Jiang Ningxun looked at the message with a trace of unease in his heart. The next day, the sky was thick with dark clouds. Ignoring the torrential downpour, he went to the infirmary to buy medicine and then jogged all the way to the Alpha building.

On-campus housing was strictly divided by gender: male, female, Alpha, Omega, and Beta. Since Betas were the most numerous, they occupied many buildings. Alphas were the rarest and had only one building, while Omegas were also few, filling only two. The buildings were spaced far apart to prevent pheromone-related emergencies. Consequently, it was a rare and difficult occasion for Jiang Ningxun and Song Shidu to meet.

Today’s rain was particularly treacherous. Strong winds blew the rain sideways, making it impossible to stay dry no matter how one tried to shield themselves. At the entrance of the building, Jiang Ningxun folded his umbrella. He stood in the doorway, shaking his water-stained ears and using his hands to wring out his tail like a wet towel.

Suddenly, a towel appeared in front of him.

“Ah, thank you!” Jiang Ningxun accepted it gratefully and looked up. He saw him.

A tall man with a cold, detached aura stood before him. A powerful presence washed over Jiang Ningxun. While Betas typically could not sense pheromones, what he felt now was not a gender-based suppression, but an innate, crushing pressure of character. His features were exceptionally handsome with sharp, clear contours. He had deep green eyes with pupils that were narrow and vertical. He was a snake-type demi-human, highly aggressive, and his gaze felt as though it were tracing over Jiang Ningxun like a snake’s tongue. He was icy cold.

Jiang Ningxun froze the moment he saw him, as such divine beauty was rarely encountered. Snake-type features were known for their striking aggressiveness, and those eyes held an overwhelming sense of pressure. It was different from Song Shidu. Song Shidu was deep and handsome, but his aggression was not strong, especially when he was with Jiang Ningxun, where he was always gentle and considerate. He did not possess the same raw impact as Qing Zhe.

For a moment, Jiang Ningxun swallowed hard, not quite daring to speak.

“You do not belong in this building. Do not stay for too long.”

The man gave Jiang Ningxun a faint glance, then opened his umbrella and walked into the curtain of rain. Once Jiang Ningxun snapped out of it, he wanted to return the towel, but the man moved so quickly that he vanished in the blink of an eye.

“Ah. Does this count as me getting a free towel?”

With no other choice, he would have to return it the next time they met. Jiang Ningxun dried his hair with the towel and quickly climbed the stairs until he reached the sixth floor. The building was quiet, though a few dorms were filled with the sounds of play. Because the rain was so heavy, the school had mercifully given the students a day off to avoid accidents.

Upon reaching Room 602, Jiang Ningxun knocked, but there was no response. Was Song Shidu’s roommate not in? He quietly pushed the door open a crack, hesitating whether to enter, when the door was suddenly flung wide. His balance faltered, and he crashed directly into someone’s chest.

“Tsk.”

He heard the person’s impatient voice, and the man instinctively moved to push Jiang Ningxun away. Then, he paused.

Song Shidu’s pupils contracted. “You? Why are you here?”

“Ugh.” Jiang Ningxun’s nose was red and aching from the collision. He looked up. “Do you not say hello before opening the door?”

Seeing that Jiang Ningxun was half-soaked, Song Shidu, despite his dizziness, immediately pulled him into the room by the hand. “You did not tell me you were coming. I thought it was someone else coming to harass me again.”

His hand was as hot as a roasted sweet potato. The heat transferred through their skin to Jiang Ningxun’s wrist. Jiang Ningxun immediately reached out to feel Song Shidu’s forehead. “Do not move.”

Song Shidu’s body stiffened. He froze in place like a statue, letting Jiang Ningxun’s hand feel around his head.

“Your temperature is high enough to steam an egg! Have you taken medicine?” Jiang Ningxun took charge, pressing him down onto the lower bunk. He then pulled out the medicine and thermometer he had brought. “Quick, take your temperature first.”

Only the two of them were in the room; the other three bunks were empty. Song Shidu’s consciousness was clearly blurred by the fever. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and his pale skin was flushed like a sunset. He looked up at Jiang Ningxun for a long time without speaking, as if he were unsure if the person before him was real or a hallucination.

“Song Shidu, did you turn stupid from the fever? Wake up!” Jiang Ningxun shook him, trying to bring him back to his senses.

“Ah, yes,” Song Shidu nodded dazed.

Jiang Ningxun handed him the thermometer, but Song Shidu did not take it. Instead, he got up to grab the air conditioner remote and turned up the heat. He turned back to him. “Are you still cold?”

Jiang Ningxun replied, “I am not cold. You are the one who matters.”

Seeing that the guy was truly delirious, Jiang Ningxun pushed him back onto the bed. He personally took his temperature, poured water, fed him medicine, and applied a cooling patch to his forehead. Jiang Ningxun was the only one busy running back and forth. Throughout the process, Song Shidu remained obediently still. No matter where Jiang Ningxun moved, Song Shidu’s eyes stayed locked on him like a tracker.

“How did you get a fever? How many days has it been?”

“One day. I probably caught a cold.”

“Did you really not think about taking medicine?”

“My physical constitution is fine. I do not need medicine.”

“You are just taking your Alpha status for granted.” Jiang Ningxun looked at him with the disappointed eyes of an elder. Seeing his unfocused gaze, he sighed. “I will definitely come to see you more often. You really do not know how to take care of yourself.”

Song Shidu heard that sentence clearly and smiled. He reached out and pulled Jiang Ningxun toward the bed. “Let me help you dry your hair.” He moved to take the towel from Jiang Ningxun’s hand.

But in the next second, his expression changed. His eyes darkened instantly. Why does this towel carry the scent of another Alpha? It was a very aggressive type at that. Song Shidu stood up immediately, rummaged through his locker for his own towel, and returned to the bedside. Without a word, he began drying Jiang Ningxun’s hair. It was a bit rough.

“Mmph!” Jiang Ningxun was being scrubbed like a puppy. He started to get annoyed. “Song Shidu!”

“The Alpha building is dangerous. From time to time, there are Alphas who do not manage their heat cycles well and attack people. Even if you are a Beta, you should not come here recklessly.” Song Shidu’s tone was calm, as if he were simply giving a lecture.

“Then should I leave now?”

“No. You are safe here with me.”

“So should I stay in this building or not?” Jiang Ningxun tilted his head.

Song Shidu’s hand paused. He looked down at him, then turned his head away and coughed lightly. “Stay for a while. Do you not still need to make sure I take my medicine properly? The rain is heavy outside; stay until it stops.”

Jiang Ningxun asked, “Will I not disturb your roommates when they return?”

“They are like restless monkeys. They cannot stay still even on a holiday. They went out early and will not be back for a while.”

After a few brief words of small talk, Jiang Ningxun let Song Shidu lie down to rest. During that time, Song Shidu checked his phone. It was a dormitory group chat.

Song Shidu: Do not come back for at least another five hours. (Sent a 1,000 yuan red envelope)

Li Big-Mouth claimed the red envelope. Qi Stutter claimed the red envelope. Wang Glasses claimed the red envelope.

Li Big-Mouth: Your Majesty! Is this disaster relief money? Long live the Emperor!

Wang Glasses: Based on my calculations, something is definitely going to happen in the dorm during these five hours.

Qi Stutter: Brother Song, stop going to the playground at midnight to blow in the wind. If the fever gets worse, you could die.

Song Shidu @ Qi Stutter: Shut up.

Li Big-Mouth: Holy crap, Brother Song! Are you waiting for some beauty to bring you medicine? You have not been playing with us lately, just staring at your phone. Are you secretly in love with some beautiful Omega? Tell us! Our Ace Strategist Team is no joke!

Song Shidu: It is a male Beta.

After typing that line, Song Shidu immediately turned off his phone to avoid the messages that were blowing up the chat. A fluffy head leaned over at that moment. Jiang Ningxun stared at him and narrowed his eyes. “Playing with your phone while you are sick? Do I need to confiscate it?”
