This Omega Kisses Too Fiercely [Transmigration] - Chapter 16

“Lu You, as expected, you still can’t resist Luo Xinghe.”

Lu You, who had been spacing out in class while stealing glances at Luo Xinghe, immediately snapped his eyes away. Hearing Ai Duo-duo’s voice made him feel a sudden pang of guilt. “No, I’m not.”

“I originally thought you’d do a great job with a script centered solely on Luo Xinghe, but you haven’t. You can’t bring yourself to be cruel to him. Why do you never learn? Given your frequent intimate contact with Luo Xinghe, the system is forcing a reward and punishment mechanism into effect. Every instance of hand contact will delay your return to reality by one month, a hug by two months, and a kiss by six months. This will also trigger a cough-up-blood warning for induced pseudo-estrus. Stop gambling with your life. Treasure it, stay cold, and keep your distance from Luo Xinghe.”

Lu You was bewildered by the lecture, leaving him feeling completely muddled. “A script centered solely on Luo Xinghe? A reward and punishment mechanism?”

“Did you hear a reminder just now?” the system asked.

“I did.” He had been meaning to ask about that. “Why did it sound like my voice?”

“That is your voice.”

Lu You was stunned. “What?”

“It’s a warning you left for your future self after failing. It was meant to warn you not to lose your judgment over your 100% pheromone compatibility with Luo Xinghe. I’m telling you this now, even though you two have perfect compatibility, the moment you mark him, your compatibility will drop to zero. You will no longer be attracted to each other and might even feel repulsed, yet your ‘Mate-Seeking Syndrome’ will make you unilaterally dependent on him. Meanwhile, his dark attributes will be fully awakened, making him cold, heartless, and violent. If you fall in love with him, you will lose everything.”

“Lose everything?” Lu You’s hands, which were holding Luo Xinghe’s jacket, stiffened. His expression froze. “Isn’t this my first time entering this world?”

“I knew you’d be like this every time. I’ll just lay it out for you, this isn’t your first time in this game. The previous game was called ‘The Salvation Game.’ You were responsible for saving a pitiful Omega and helping him ascend to the throne. But unexpectedly, after Luo Xinghe’s dark side fully awakened, your compatibility dropped to zero. He stopped being obsessed with you and used your pheromones to achieve his goals before imprisoning you. He even ignored your illness, letting you enter Alpha manic states several times. Unable to bear the humiliation, you chose to end your life. Your memory was wiped, and you re-entered the game, losing every single time.”

He held the clothes to his mouth in shock. “Are you serious?”

“After losing so many times, you changed the game attributes. You stopped trying to ‘save’ Luo Xinghe because you felt he was beyond saving. Instead, you decided to torment him to make him darken, achieving his ultimate goal of a king’s counterattack through that route. Because the ending is a requirement of the parallel space, we can change the plot but not the conclusion. This re-entry is your last chance. If you fail again, you will simply vanish from the parallel space.”

He was speechless for a long time. “Why didn’t you tell me this from the start?”

He was completely blindsided.

“Because I knew you’d repeat the same mistakes, so I waited until now to tell you. Luo Xinghe already knows you have a heat cycle. He’s currently confused about whether he likes you because of that 100% compatibility or if he’s just drawing close to you because your pheromones can make him stronger. While he’s still unsure, it’s your best opportunity. I don’t want to see you foolishly falling for him again, only to end up broken.”

“Remember what I’m about to say, because this time, we’re serious. I’ve already mentioned the punishments, now for the rewards. The system has activated a ‘Provocation Progress Bar.’ Every time you provoke Luo Xinghe, you gain 10%. Complete 100% to return to reality. Additionally, for every 10% milestone, you’ll be rewarded with a memory fragment as a spoiler.”

“Using the antagonist to trigger Luo Xinghe was the right move. As a starting reward, you’ve gained 1%. The sentence you heard earlier was a memory fragment. Also, be careful to protect yourself during your heat, it will be dangerous if you enter estrus before you turn twenty.”

“Remember the rules you left for yourself, to beat Luo Xinghe, you have to be more ruthless and colder than he is. He knows how to act, so you have to be a better actor than him.”

“Don’t fall in love with him again. Don’t be fooled by him. You have to come back.”

“I’ve given you all the cheats I can, it’s up to you to use them. Don’t be stupid. You feel sorry for Luo Xinghe, but who feels sorry for you?”

“Physical exams! The Royal Medical Team is here! Group A, Group O, and Group B, separate into lines! Move, move, move!”

The loud voice of the class monitor at the door made Lu You jump.

Then, he felt a pinch on the back of his neck. The cool sensation and the intimacy of the touch made his body shudder. He smelled Luo Xinghe’s signature scent, white peach oolong tea.

He looked up, and sure enough, it was Luo Xinghe.

Luo Xinghe looked down at him. “What’s wrong, did I scare you?”

For some reason, Lu You felt that Luo Xinghe’s aura had changed. There was an invisible dominance in the way he pinched his neck.

So, Luo Xinghe was approaching him just for his pheromones? He didn’t actually like him?

The confusion he had before was finally cleared up. He finally understood why he supposedly “disliked” Luo Xinghe in the original plot despite the compatibility, even going as far as cheating on him.

It turned out he had known all along that Luo Xinghe was just using him! It wasn’t for some shallow reason at all.

And the so-called “original host” was actually himself. He wondered why reading the story felt so painful, it was because these things had actually happened to him.

“Warning: Your return is delayed by one month.”

Hearing the system prompt, he bolted upright, dodging Luo Xinghe’s hand. He jerked his chin toward Song Xi. “Xixi, let’s go. It’s time for the physical.”

Song Xi’s eyes lit up when he saw Lu You initiating conversation. He had been wondering how to keep following Lu You without raising suspicion. After all, he had done so many obvious and foolish things, yet Lu You was still incredibly indulgent.

Maybe Lu You really liked him.

The thought made him feel a bit giddy.

He hopped over to Lu You’s side and cheerfully linked arms with him. “Sure thing!”

Luo Xinghe silently withdrew his hand from mid-air. His gaze fell on Lu You’s reddened ears, and he began to release his pheromones even more recklessly.

With his back to Luo Xinghe, Lu You gritted his teeth, fighting the attraction of the scent and the rising nausea in his stomach. He finally understood why he felt sick.

Lu You, torment him. Don’t be soft-hearted.

His own voice surfaced in his mind again, acting like a switch. The previously murky plot suddenly became as clear as the answer to a difficult math problem.

Why did the system keep saying “again”? Why didn’t it tell him everything from the start? It was because the system knew he wouldn’t be able to control his pity for Luo Xinghe. Giving him these “cheats” mid-way was to prevent him from falling into the same trap.

The past him had loved Luo Xinghe deeply.

And had been deeply hurt.

Luo Xinghe had used him.

Even if it happened a hundred times, it would always end this way.

Song Xi looked at Lu You sideways, noticing his face was deathly pale. “Young Master Lu, are you okay?”

Lu You forced a smile. “I’m fine. Let’s go.”

As he stepped out of the classroom, he glanced back at Luo Xinghe. Luo Xinghe was standing there with a smile, his eyes fixed on him.

It made his skin crawl.

Luo Xinghe watched Lu You slowly disappear from his sight. The smile in his eyes vanished, replaced by indifference. It was as if nothing in the world mattered or could cause a reaction in him except for Lu You.

“Monitor, why the big rush?”

“You guys have no idea. At the vocational school next door, they found an Omega with ‘All-Compatibility’ pheromones in heat! The whole academy has gone crazy! It’s like a scene from a restricted novel. That Omega can pair with anyone during estrus, reaching 100% compatibility with AO, OO, or OB pairings. No suppressants work, and the heat lasts for a month, four times longer than a normal Omega. What’s scarier is that it’s contagious! Since their North Building is so close to our South Wing, the pheromones acted like a virus, triggering the Alphas in that class to attack their own Omegas. The impact is terrifying, the government has already stepped in. The school wants everyone tested immediately, especially vulnerable Omegas and Alphas in their rut. Right now, even the ‘safest’ Betas might not be safe.”

“Where is the medical center?”

“Believe it or not, it’s set up right in the South Wing. It’s to identify who is susceptible so they can give out preventative shots and isolate people immediately.”

Luo Xinghe’s expression darkened. He looked toward the door, thought of Lu You who had just left, and took off running.

Lu You, who had just reached the restroom entrance, suddenly froze. A heavy scent drifted past his nose. It wasn’t Luo Xinghe’s. Soon, all sorts of scents flooded in from every direction, like a suffocating net trapping him in place. It wasn’t fragrant, it was a stifling atmosphere that clawed at his throat, making it impossible to breathe.

His pupils constricted.

A searing heat burned in the left side of his chest.

“Young Master Lu, you” Song Xi looked at Lu You in shock. He hadn’t smelled it wrong this time. That sweet, milky scent he had noticed before belonged to Lu You. It was incredibly intense, yet lacked any hint of aggression.

Lu You rushed into the restroom and locked himself in a stall.

The moment the door closed, he slumped to the floor, strengthless. He buried his head in his arms, his body shaking violently and his skin turning ice cold.

He could smell countless pheromones, but they only made him miserable. The suffocation and the struggle to breathe made his mind go blank.

Lu You, I was wrong. Please come back.

“Lu You.”

A familiar voice came from outside the door. In that instant, the suffocating smells from all directions were overwhelmed by a tidal wave of white peach oolong tea. Lu You looked up like a fish desperate for water, gasping for air.

Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

“I’m here. Don’t cry.”
