This Omega Kisses Too Fiercely [Transmigration] - Chapter 7
[In the original story, you weren’t supposed to smell Luo Xinghe’s pheromones this quickly. This means his dark side is on the verge of awakening, and you’ve been triggered. Try to stay away from him to avoid being stimulated into an early heat, otherwise, the plot might spiral out of control.]
Hearing the system’s warning, Lu You stayed vigilant all morning, not daring to get too close to Luo Xinghe.
Consequently, during the afternoon golf class, he kept a significant distance.
Currently, he was standing on the “Golden Tee” exclusive to the “Dragon Aotien” protagonists. Tilting his chin up slightly and wearing sunglasses, he leaned against his gold-trimmed golf club, gazing out across the lawn. He thought to himself: This Mary Sue Academy really lives up to its name. Instead of normal classes, they’re actually organizing golf?
Pure bliss!
However, the sun was a bit too intense, making him feel a little lightheaded.
[Lu You, you really need to pay attention. I’m detecting that your heat is starting to stir. Keep a close eye on your body’s changes.]
He had been squinting half-asleep in the sun, but upon hearing Ai Duo Duo’s words, he snapped his eyes open. He looked down and sniffed himself. No scent?
[You don’t have a scent yet because you haven’t differentiated. You’ll smell Luo Xinghe’s pheromones first and then be influenced by him into an early differentiation. Luo Xinghe already shows signs of blackening; smelling his scent is the beginning. Because your compatibility is 100%, it’s a blinding level of perfection, meaning you’ll be attracted to each other regardless of whether you actually like one another.]
[Plus, he harbors resentment toward you. He feels you’re humiliating him for being an Omega with a “gender defect,” so he wants you to mark him to trigger your “Mate-Seeking Syndrome.” He will try everything. You must control your impulses and not let that scent lure you in. Try to let other events trigger his blackening, especially before your heat arrives. You need to move the plot along quickly and deal with the antagonist, Song Xi.]
Lu You turned his head to look at Luo Xinghe, who was far away.
He was plotting something in his mind.
“Ahhh, Young Master Lu looks so handsome just standing there! Why is his Alpha aura so much better than everyone else’s? I really want to release my pheromones to seduce him!!”
“In your dreams. There aren’t many Omegas here worthy of Young Master Lu. He’s the heir to the Lu family, the future ruler of half the global economy. Do you think just anyone can get close to him?”
“True. Even though that Luo Xinghe is Young Master Lu’s fiancé, he’s just a ‘useless’ spouse. I bet Lu You is just using him to ward off unwanted suitors!”
“Do you think Young Master Lu can even be held back? Lately, it seems he’s quite fond of Song Xi.”
“Definitely. That Luo Xinghe isn’t a normal Omega anyway. What use is an O who can’t bear children? I don’t understand why the head of the Lu family made him the fiancé. It’s breaking the hearts of so many wealthy Omegas!”
Standing at the “Commoner’s Tee” were all Omegas from ordinary backgrounds. They were only in the academy because they were children of domestic help for various lords and ladies.
Naturally, they were far away from the “Officials’ Tee,” the “Nobles’ Tee,” and especially the ultra-luxurious “Riverview Tee.” That was why they dared to gossip so shamelessly.
Luo Xinghe had long since become numb to hearing people talk about him, but when he heard the phrase “Lu You seems to really like Song Xi lately,” his hand suddenly tightened. His expression turned terrifyingly dark.
His gaze landed on the gossiping students, his eyes narrowing with a cold, predatory glint.
He could not tolerate Lu You liking someone else. No one—absolutely no one—was allowed to be with Lu You or be liked by him.
It was Lu You who reached out to him, Lu You who brought him home, and Lu You who pulled him out of the abyss and into a world of light. Lu You was the one who let him feel the warmth of the sun.
But it was also this same Lu You who pushed him back toward the abyss. He was only hovering at the edge now because he was unwilling to let go.
That obsession, that resentment born of unrequited love, dictated that if he couldn’t have him, no one could.
Even if Song Xi had helped him in the past, he wouldn’t let him take Lu You away.
“Song Xi, stop getting close to Lu You.”
Song Xi’s eyes lit up when he heard Luo Xinghe speak to him, but they dimmed instantly upon hearing the content. He turned his head, seeing that Luo Xinghe wasn’t even looking at him. Following Luo Xinghe’s gaze, he saw the target hundreds of meters away: Lu You.
A wave of indescribable bitterness washed over him. “Why? I like him. Is it not okay for me to want to be near him?”
He really hadn’t expected Luo Xinghe to still be so protective of Lu You. He couldn’t understand what was so good about that guy.
“He is mine.” Luo Xinghe finally retracted his gaze and looked at Song Xi. His expression was indifferent, his eyes certain. “You are acting like a homewrecker, don’t you realize that?”
The word “homewrecker” felt like a needle to Song Xi’s heart. “Luo Xinghe, if we’re talking about intrusion, he’s the one who stepped between us, isn’t he? Do you really feel that grateful just because he brought you back to the Lu family? Luo Xinghe, do you have a heart? Who took care of you when you were hurt? Who looked after you when you were suffering? Just because your pheromone compatibility with Lu You is 100%, you blindly fall in love? That’s incredibly shallow.”
Luo Xinghe didn’t care about Song Xi’s words. “I know you were good to me before, but haven’t I paid you back?” He looked at Song Xi. “Didn’t you beg me to get you into this school just for the sake of wealth and status?”
Song Xi laughed in shock, his eyes reddening. He never thought Luo Xinghe could be this way. As a child, he had ignored his mother’s warnings to look after Luo Xinghe, gave him all his best food out of guilt, and even helped him when he wanted to run away. Now, he felt Luo Xinghe was the cruelest of them all.
“Is that how you see me? You think I came here for wealth?”
“Luo Xinghe, you’re just jealous that I can get close to Young Master Lu. It makes sense. After all, you loved him, even though he hurt you and looked down on you from his high horse. Naturally, you’re jealous that I can catch his eye. We are friends, yes, but in the face of love, friendship doesn’t matter, only capability. So what if you’re his fiancé? He doesn’t like you.”
He understood now. Luo Xinghe was simply blinded by that 100% compatibility. He couldn’t distinguish between love and possessiveness.
A 100% pheromone compatibility sounded perfect, but it was actually the most dangerous. It was irrational, blind, and driven only by primal instinct.
—So what if you’re his fiancé? He doesn’t like you.
Hearing those words, Luo Xinghe felt the blood in his veins turn cold. That inherent obsession, that resentment at being pushed away, began to spiral again.
His hands, resting on his lap, clenched tightly. It was true, everyone could see that Lu You didn’t like him. Lu You even allowed others to mock and bully him because of his humble origins, as if he were nothing but a speck of pathetic dust.
He thought he had found a home, only to find he had touched another abyss.
He looked at Song Xi with deep, dark eyes. He truly regretted bringing Song Xi into this school.
The taste of blood spread in his mouth. When he tasted the copper, his eyes darkened, resembling a vampire’s greed upon tasting sweetness.
Right then, he caught a familiar scent of sweet wine and milk. The overly sweet aroma teased his nose, instantly calming the restless pheromones in his body.
Such a sweet, milky scent.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out ahead, and the crowd at the edge of the golf tee parted.
He watched Lu You slowly walk toward them. In an instant, it felt as though everything else lost its color.
The school uniform was dark green, but Lu You’s was white and gold. The colors of purity and nobility were displayed perfectly on him. Holding his gold-trimmed golf club like a scepter, he walked with a languid yet gentlemanly stride, a smile on his face as he approached.
That smile made everything else fade away.
This man’s preference for gold always made him look incredibly elegant and dignified. Even his chestnut-brown hair seemed to shimmer with gold under the sunlight. He looked as gentle as an angel.
Luo Xinghe’s gaze became fervent, and the restless cells in his body began to act up again. Was Lu You coming for him?
Song Xi was also mesmerized by this Alpha who radiated charm at every moment. However, he didn’t forget his plan: make Lu You fall in love with him, then discard Luo Xinghe to “set him free,” and finally dump Lu You to get his revenge.
He stood up abruptly and walked toward Lu You.
Luo Xinghe’s face darkened. Damn it! A step too late!
His heart felt like a balloon about to burst from jealousy.
Lu You walked along, hearing the screams of the Omegas. For some reason, he found he was quite used to it, wondering where this narcissism came from.
As he stepped onto the Commoner’s Tee, Song Xi was the first to appear in his field of vision. He raised an eyebrow. This guy is jumping out again? Fine, bring it on! He had come specifically to stir things up with Song Xi, to make Luo Xinghe go dark with jealousy and shift his target.
Song Xi pretended to be shy, cupping his face. “Is Young Master Lu here for me?”
“Why would I be here for you?” Lu You stopped, looking at Song Xi’s acting with a playful half-smile, his hand slowly stroking the top of his golf club.
Seeing Lu You respond, Song Xi was overjoyed. “I know Young Master Lu isn’t very good at golf. I could teach you.”
“Teach me?” Lu You smirked, his peach-blossom eyes shimmering with an irresistible light.
Song Xi felt his heart racing. He swallowed hard, unable to look away from Lu You’s seductive smile. “Yes, yes, I can teach you.”
“Alright then, you teach me.”
Song Xi smiled triumphantly. See? Lu You does like me a little. Even without a background, he at least had a face worth looking at.
Satisfied with flirting with the antagonist, Lu You stood up straight and turned toward Luo Xinghe, who was sitting nearby.
He walked up to Luo Xinghe, leaning in close. With a smile, he lifted his golf club and tapped the tip against Luo Xinghe’s nose, a very intimate gesture.
“Then you should teach me too,” Lu You said, looking at Luo Xinghe at close range. “Okay?”
He figured that flirting with both of them was the true way to be a “scumbag.”
Luo Xinghe felt the cool touch on his nose. He looked up into Lu You’s eyes, which were filled with a laughter that sparkled like stars. He felt as if he were falling into those eyes, willing to drown in the trap.
The word “Okay?” sounded like a plea, nearly toppling the walls Luo Xinghe had built around his heart. He gripped the sides of his chair, fighting the palpitation, and tried to act calm.
“Okay.”
Heaven knew he thought it wasn’t okay at all. He only wanted Lu You to say that to him, and no one else.
He didn’t want Lu You to be this way with anyone else.
He engraved Lu You’s smile into the depths of his mind, as if it were a comfort to the hidden, humble version of himself that never saw the light.
At the same time, the memory of the beauty he once had and then lost was stirred up by jealousy. He wasn’t satisfied. He couldn’t accept being loathed by the person he loved just because of a gender defect.
Unable to hold back, he accidentally released his pheromones.
Lu You was feeling smug, thinking he had definitely provoked a reaction, when he suddenly froze. He felt unwell. The scent of peach oolong tea emanating from Luo Xinghe was aggressive, as if it had broken its shackles, swirling wildly around him.
It was completely different from the faint scent he’d smelled this morning!
He immediately straightened up to hide the heat rising in his body. He looked at the culprit, Luo Xinghe, in shock. This guy is actually using pheromones to flirt with me?
Don’t you want to blacken into a powerful boss? He looked at this “Big Boss” cub who was daydreaming about him with a sense of disappointment. “I don’t need you to teach me anymore. Song Xi, you teach me later. I’m going to the restroom first.”
Having said that, he turned and walked away quickly. If one looked closely, his steps were a bit unsteady.
He had a bad feeling.
Ai Duo Duo had just warned him, and now it was happening?!
The moment Luo Xinghe caught that milky scent again, a flash of uncontrollable heat appeared in his eyes. He immediately stood up to follow Lu You.
Are these Lu You’s pheromones?
Such a sweet, milky scent.
