- Chapter 14 - The Kiss Was Too Intense
Perhaps it was a lingering effect of nearly drowning the night before, but Lu You felt groggy all morning. He truly wasn’t in the mood to battle it out with the big shots or the villains, so he sprawled across his desk and slept as if time had stopped.
Class had just let out and the room was a bit noisy, except for the back row, which remained exceptionally silent.
The summer sun fell warmly into the classroom, enveloping the sleeping Lu You in a soft glow.
Luo Xinghe held his pen, his mind drifting. He noticed Lu You looked uncomfortable sleeping on the desk, his brow furrowed. His already pale skin looked almost translucent under the light, as if he might melt into the air.
Taking the jacket from the back of his chair, Luo Xinghe walked over and draped it over Lu You. He then reached out to check the temperature of Lu You’s forehead.
He wasn’t very hot, so he probably didn’t have a fever.
Luo Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mm…”
Suddenly, Luo Xinghe’s body stiffened. He caught a faint mumble from Lu You, then watched as the boy tucked his hand under his cheek, pressing against it tightly. Like a greedy child, Lu You held onto the thing he liked and refused to let go.
Luo Xinghe’s heart softened completely.
He hadn’t forgotten how long it had been since Lu You had been voluntarily intimate with him. Ever since they started high school, ever since Lu You brought up the breakup, Lu You hadn’t been willing to touch him at all.
“So fragrant… peach…” The sleeping Lu You felt himself overwhelmed by the scent of peaches. That incredibly sweet aroma instantly suppressed his original irritability and discomfort.
It felt wonderful.
Uncontrollably, he wanted more.
This is a peach, an edible peach, so I should take a bite.
Luo Xinghe: “!”
A sharp pain shot through his hand. He watched Lu You bite down and refuse to let go, but when he saw Lu You stick out his tongue to brush against the bitten spot, his gaze softened.
“Xinghe, I have something to say to you.”
Luo Xinghe looked up to see Song Xi, whose expression was somewhat gloomy. Knowing Lu You was asleep, he kept his voice as low as possible. “What is there left for us to say?”
As he spoke, he pulled the jacket covering Lu You up over the boy’s head, his movements tinged with possessiveness.
Lu You: He had been smacked in the face by the jacket and was now wide awake.
However, the jacket over his head smelled so good it made his brain feel floaty. He even felt a slight heat in his chest and across his body. Luo Xinghe’s scent.
It smelled so good.
He gathered the jacket closer, rubbing his nose against it. Mmm, sweet and fragrant, exactly like the peach I was just eating in my dream.
[Lu You, don’t let your heart flutter.]
[Oh.] He withdrew his eager nose.
[Pay attention to what they’re talking about.]
Hearing Ai Duoduo’s reminder, Lu You immediately perked up his ears. There might be some answers here.
Just as he was concentrating on listening, he heard Luo Xinghe say:
“He’s sleeping, let’s talk outside.”
Lu You: No, I’m awake! Please talk right here! QAQ
Song Xi watched Luo Xinghe shielding Lu You and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. He didn’t dare be too blatant, so he lowered his voice:
“You protect him like this, but he doesn’t care about you at all, does he? I know you’re angry that I stabbed him and pushed him into the water, but he didn’t blame me. Instead, he blamed you. Isn’t that heartbreaking? You must be devastated. This just proves that Lu You really likes me. Even if he only likes my body or thinks I’m a normal Omega, it’s still better than someone defective like you.”
Lu You’s eyes flew wide. Holy crap, it was Song Xi who pushed me into the water!!!
[Ai Duoduo, wait, doesn’t this Song Xi like…]
[Like you? Like hell.]
Lu You: […]
[This wasn’t supposed to happen, but you were soft-hearted and saved him, and yet he wanted you dead.]
Lu You was stunned. It turned out he had saved a villain who wanted to give his death a helping hand. [But why? Isn’t Song Xi supposed to be into Luo Xinghe]
[If he can’t have it, he’ll destroy it. Since he can’t have Luo Xinghe, he’ll destroy the person Luo Xinghe loves most. That’s you.]
Lu You: His head hurt.
He could only continue to listen.
Song Xi’s words were undoubtedly meant to crush Luo Xinghe’s heart. Looking at Song Xi, Luo Xinghe’s deep eyes grew even darker, like a pebble dropped into a deep, still pond, causing ripples on the surface. His hand, hidden by the desk, suddenly clenched into a fist.
The pheromones brought out by his faintly awakening dark attributes had no scent to others, but they could feel an unbearable pressure. It wasn’t the overwhelming force of an Alpha, but a subtle, invisible form of agonizing oppression.
Song Xi’s face turned pale. The sudden wave of pressure made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable. He looked at Luo Xinghe in shock. “You…”
Luo Xinghe’s brooding, handsome face held a sharp intensity that was far from the typical soft Omega. His dark attributes made his aura increasingly powerful. He was gradually becoming different from the fragile, protected Omega class, except for the presence of a gland, there was almost nothing similar left.
The sharpness he had suppressed for so long suddenly made him a target for the Alphas in the class.
Quite a few Alphas felt the pressure and turned their eyes toward the back of the classroom.
“Holy crap, what is that smell?”
“It couldn’t be Luo Xinghe, could it? His scent is so foul! Ugh”
“But it seems his pheromones don’t trigger a reaction in any of us.”
“Well, obviously. He’s a defective Omega. Since he doesn’t have a heat cycle, the smell is bound to be unpleasant. Who would dare mark an Omega like that? I don’t know why Lu You still lets this guy stay by his side. I think Song Xi is pretty good, quite beautiful. He should be Lu You’s type.”
Luo Xinghe listened to his classmates’ gossip with a blank expression. When he heard the last sentence, his gaze immediately landed on the speaker.
The boy who had just said “Song Xi should be Lu You’s type” was startled by Luo Xinghe’s gaze. It was cold as an ice cellar and firmly suppressed his own pheromones. However, his innate sense of Alpha superiority allowed him to puff out his chest fearlessly.
“What? Did I say something wrong? Look at you, as an Omega, you’re not pretty, you’re not gentle, and you can’t have children. To put it even more bluntly, not having a heat cycle is the same as having no ability to mate.”
The words were incredibly ugly.
Lu You really wanted to punch someone. He could testify to one thing: although Luo Xinghe didn’t have a heat cycle, he was thinking about “steamy” things all day long. And these people actually dared to insult Luo Xinghe so openly right in front of him?
This could not be tolerated.
Hearing so many people insult Luo Xinghe, Song Xi actually felt a bit uneasy, but for some reason, he also felt a strange sense of superiority. So, he had entered this noble circle because of Lu You, right? He wasn’t some commoner with nothing, and no one knew his mother was a lowly maid. Because of Lu You, he would possess countless riches and honor in the future.
Even if he didn’t like Lu You, it didn’t matter, as long as he could make Lu You like him.
He believed that Luo Xinghe clung to Lu You for the same reasons he did. Who wouldn’t want to be with a powerful and wealthy Alpha? Who wouldn’t want status?
Smiling, he looked at Luo Xinghe. “Everyone knows Young Master Lu and I are already together. It’s only a matter of time before your engagement is broken. Luo Xinghe, I advise you to stop wasting your time.”
Listening to the endless gossip around him, Luo Xinghe felt as though countless demons had been tossed into the abyss of his heart, which was already filled with hatred, creating even more resentment.
In the survival-of-the-fittest ABO world, Alphas were the absolute strong and Omegas were the absolute weak, existing merely as appendages to Alphas. Yet, he happened to be an Omega with a gender defect, an existence despised by everyone, because he didn’t even have the qualification to be an Alpha’s appendage.
It had been the same when he was thrown out of the royal family.
Even with royal blood, so what? He was just an Omega, and a defective one at that. Rather than keeping him, it was better to discard him as if he had never existed.
When the maid took him away, he had tried to escape, but he was caught every time. His last escape attempt involved hiding in a trash can, where Lu You picked him up and brought him home.
Later, the maid found him again and made a demand of the Lu family: they had to pay a large sum of money to keep him.
It was the head of the Lu family who recognized who he was, agreed to the maid’s request, and kept him. Both the head of the house and Madam Lu were very kind to him and showed him sympathy. And in the beginning, Lu You was very good to him.
So good that he felt Lu You was his whole world.
Their first time holding hands, their first embrace, their first kiss, these were all his most precious memories.
But however good they were back then, things were just as terrible now.
All because of his gender defect.
Just as they said, he was nothing more than a crippled Omega, useless, unwanted even by his biological parents. No one had ever loved him, and he didn’t deserve to have love.
Hatred and resentment felt like an airtight net, enveloping him completely, making it almost impossible to breathe.
“So what? Who I like is none of your business. Are you qualified to stop me from liking Lu You?” Luo Xinghe dropped this line expressionlessly. “What a bunch of boring people.”
After saying that, he walked toward the classroom door.
His hands were clenched so tightly his nails nearly sank into his palms.
He was nothing now. How could he compete with those people? Reality was crushing him, and he had no choice but to endure.
Now that Lu You was no longer his protector and Lu You hated him, he could only.
Just as he left the classroom, he heard Lu You’s voice.
Lu You, finally unable to take it anymore, threw off the jacket and stood up abruptly. He looked at the culprit, Song Xi, and then surveyed the boring people in the class who had just been chiming in:
“What, do you think being an Omega makes you noble and precious? Do you think having a heat cycle is glorious? Do you think pheromones are so charming that attracting people makes you capable? Do you think being able to have children makes you special? Every word out of your mouths is about who is unqualified, unworthy, or dirty. How are you any better?”
“And are Alphas that great? You think an Omega has to depend on an Alpha to live, right? That is pure bullshit. If I were an Omega and someone said that to me, I’d probably just cut out my gland. It’s useless anyway, because I don’t want to have children for anyone, and I don’t want to depend on anyone to exist. I just want to be myself. My existence is the manifestation of my value. Those who think they are useless and choose to die, those are the truly useless people.”
“Luo Xinghe is my person. I can bully him, but if any of you dare say a single word, just try me.”
That last sentence was said while looking directly at Song Xi, his eyes full of warning.
After losing his temper, Lu You turned around to go find Luo Xinghe, grabbing Luo Xinghe’s jacket on the way.
Since those words were so harsh, Luo Xinghe must be sad after hearing them, right?
The students in the front rows silently turned back. Some were moved by his words, while others bowed their heads out of fear of his influence. No matter how arrogant they had been just now, once Lu You spoke, no one dared to say another word.
This survival-of-the-fittest world was just that realistic.
Song Xi stared blankly at Lu You as he rushed out. So, what did Lu You mean regarding him?
Lu You had just rushed out the classroom door and turned the corner into the stairwell to chase after Luo Xinghe, when a hand suddenly pulled him to the side, startling him.
His back slammed against the wall, and the next second, he was face-to-face with Luo Xinghe.
Luo Xinghe’s gaze was burning, as if he wanted to swallow him whole. Then, before Lu You could speak, Luo Xinghe gripped the back of his neck and kissed him.
The jacket in his hand was snatched away and draped over their heads.
In that moment, in a space that belonged only to the two of them, the scent of peach oolong tea was everywhere.
His legs went weak.
