The Strongest Alpha is Overwhelmingly Omega After Rebirth - Chapter 19

Upon hearing those words, Lin Yan’s expression became complicated. For a moment, he did not even know what to say. After hesitating for a long while, he finally spoke. “No, I did not show it to anyone else. You are different.”

Ning Youji’s eyes flickered slightly as he lifted his eyelids to look at him.

“Did we not agree to help each other?” Lin Yan asked anxiously. “I help you with your condition, and you help me get through my heat.”

“Is that so?” Ning Youji lowered his gaze. The sharp lines at the corners of his eyes suddenly made him appear cold and indifferent.

He should have expected this. Back when he first smelled Lin Yan’s pheromones, he had thought the same thing.

“Is it not?” Lin Yan asked, seeing his hesitation. “You are not going to go back on your word, are you?”

Ning Youji remained silent for a moment. His gaze swept over the fair skin of Lin Yan’s neck before he pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and looked away. An Alpha in their rut has highly sensitive emotions and senses. The faint, fresh fragrance in the air was enough to trigger an Alpha’s primal desires.

His voice was hoarse when he spoke. “I will not. I have taken a suppressant this time; I can control it.”

Hearing this, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. “That is good. Next time, just come to me directly. Why bother with suppressants?” He looked at the long needle of the syringe with a face full of resistance.

Ning Youji kept his head down, his eye color unreadable. He gave a low hum to indicate he understood.

As Lin Yan prepared to leave, the system’s voice suddenly rang in his mind: Do not leave this place. Under the stimulation of the Alpha, your pheromone index is increasing.

Lin Yan remained composed and replied internally, It can even work like that?

The system replied: It is likely because your body bears the Alpha’s teeth marks. You are absorbing pheromones through that spot.

That is quite sophisticated, Lin Yan thought.

Ning Youji stood up. Lin Yan reacted instinctively and grabbed him. “Where are you going?”

Ning Youji looked down at him. After a brief pause, he uttered two words: “The shower.”

Lin Yan let go of his hand awkwardly and moved toward the desk. “Oh. Go ahead then.”

Sitting at the desk, Lin Yan discovered two sets of advanced exam papers. He picked up a pen, feeling eager to try them. Ning Youji glanced at his back, pressed his tongue against his cheek, and turned to enter the bathroom.

By the time he emerged from the bathroom, the Omega had already fallen asleep in the Alpha’s dormitory. The sunlight from the window fell upon the sleeping Omega’s face. His features, usually so bold and flamboyant, now gave off an illusion of being obedient and gentle. The Omega’s eyelashes were thick and long, and his skin appeared even fairer than before. His fingers were curled around the pen, and his breathing was quiet and harmless.

After watching him for a while, Ning Youji walked over and bent down to pick him up. His movements were very light, as if he were holding something fragile. Lin Yan rested his head against Ning Youji’s chest. Perhaps because he smelled a comforting scent, he instinctively rubbed against the Alpha’s chest.

After Ning Youji tucked him in, the phone next to the pillow suddenly vibrated. Seeing the caller ID, he knit his brows. Ning Youji took the phone and stepped out onto the balcony.

When he answered, Su Xue’s gentle voice came from the other end. “Son, your intellectual training is about to start soon, right?” Su Xue was a university professor.

“Yes,” Ning Youji replied. His voice was dry and raspy, sounding like a cocktail mixed with ice. “It should be soon.”

Su Xue noticed something was wrong. “Is your condition acting up?”

Ning Youji did not intend to hide it. “Yes. I just injected a suppressant.”

“Son,” Su Xue’s voice carried a hint of worry. “You will be an adult in a few months. Suppressants will not be very effective for your condition by then. At that time, you…”

Su Xue’s voice stopped abruptly. Every time she saw her son huddled in a corner in pain, she felt powerless as a parent. She could only watch him struggle against his fate. Since he had manifested, they had tried countless methods and searched for many Omegas for a match, but so far, all their efforts had been in vain.

“Mom,” Ning Youji said. He knew his family was anxious, but he did not want to involve innocent people because of his situation. “I will handle it.” He paused. “Trust me, it will be fine.”

He spoke without much confidence because he did not quite believe it himself. The other end of the line went silent.

After a long while, Su Xue spoke again. “I have looked into that Omega from last time. I wanted to ask what your plans are?”

Ning Youji gripped his phone tightly and turned to look at the boy sleeping on the bed. As he looked, the boy happened to roll over, exposing his fair neck and a faint set of teeth marks.

“That boy with the white magnolia pheromones…”

“Mom,” Ning Youji interrupted her. His voice was deep. “Do not interfere. He should not be affected by me.”

Su Xue realized he had misunderstood and said softly, “I only wanted to say that I can arrange for him to participate in the intellectual testing, if you do not mind.”

After hanging up the call, Ning Youji walked to the bedside. Lin Yan’s eyes were closed peacefully, his head tilted to the side. The lines of his features were beautiful and exquisite; he looked exactly like a carefree little prince.

Ning Youji could not help but reach out to touch the soft hair. The person being petted rubbed back contentedly.

Ning Youji’s eyes were dark. “Is it you?”
