PA chapter 9

Lin Sheng watched his car merge into the endless stream of red taillights on the main road, and soon couldn’t tell who was who anymore.

Walking back alone, he felt empty inside, as if he had forgotten something. The glands at the back of his neck began to ache faintly. Logically, the heat period had passed, so there shouldn’t be such a reaction, but he still wanted to smell Qu Baiyuan’s scent again.

Before they met, he could still substitute it with red tea, but after meeting, that desire, like a festering sore attached to his bones, resurfaced, crawling out from the depths, flowing through every limb with the blood.

Lin Sheng had never liked anyone before, he didn’t know that liking someone could feel like this. It was like a drug addict getting high, the physical craving surpassed the psychological. In just a few days, he had developed such a strong sense of dependence on someone, it was unbelievable.

The gym closed at ten o’clock at night, and Lin Sheng didn’t wait for his grandfather, he went home by himself.

He and his grandfather lived in a residential building inside the old street, in a small sixty-square-meter house on the fifth floor. Their previous house was a bit larger, but they sold it after his mother passed away, and exchanged it for this smaller one. His grandfather used the money from selling the house to partner with Qin Tai to open the current gym, and used the gym’s income to support Lin Sheng’s education.

Although the two of them could be said to depend on each other for their lives, his grandfather was not actually close to him.

Lin Dingnian’s feelings towards Lin Sheng were very complicated. He didn’t like that Lin Sheng resembled his unfaithful father, but he liked that Lin Sheng liked him and could endure a lot. Since he was very young, no matter how difficult and harsh the training was, he never complained. So even though Lin Dingnian thought education wasn’t very useful, he still silently supported Lin Sheng’s willingness to go to school.

Lin Sheng knew he shouldn’t drink tea at night, otherwise, he would have trouble sleeping again. But he still made himself a cup of Da Ji Ling red tea, the bright orange tea exuding an enticing mist. He put the teacup under his nose, closed his eyes, and imagined Qu Baiyuan’s scent.

That Alpha was too stingy, only willing to reveal a little bit of his scent. Perhaps it was precisely because he didn’t get enough that’s why it was so unforgettable.

Lin Sheng didn’t know if other omegas liked someone in the same way, but the only omega he could discuss these topics with was Yan Leyan, so he held the teacup and called Yan Leyan.

Yan Leyan was still in the mountain inn arranging flowers on the frontdesk. At this time, he was probably not busy, so the phone was answered as soon as it was dialed: “Lin sweetie, you finally remembered me! Have you finished your homework?”

“…,” Lin Sheng was suddenly speechless, “I don’t want to talk about homework, can we talk about something else?”

“Sure, what do you want to talk about?”

“Let’s talk about Qu Baiyuan,” Lin Sheng said.

“What?” Yan Leyan was surprised at first, then he wanted to swear, “You’re still hung up on that jerk?”

Lin Sheng ruthlessly exposed him, “Who was the one who told him the address of the gym?”

Yan Leyan’s momentum weakened, “I only told Bai Ji… Wait, you mean Qu Baiyuan went to the gym to find you?”

“Yeah…”

Yan Leyan cursed, “What does he want? Showing up whenever he feels like it? Who does he think he is?” After cursing, he asked again, “So you definitely ignored him, right?”

Lin Sheng felt a bit guilty, “I talked to him, and even took him to eat noodles at Hong jie’s…”

Yan Leyan was frustrated on the phone, “Can you have some self-respect? How come I didn’t realize you were so lovesick before? Where did the Lin sweetie who beat Alphas until they cried go?”

Lin Sheng put on his earphones, held the teacup in his hands, and sighed deeply, “So what should I do?”

“Ignore him, if he comes to find you, just beat him up, what’s the problem? Can’t do it? If you can’t, let Uncle Tai help you!”

“It’s not that serious…”

“I think it’s very serious!” Yan Leyan interrupted him, “No Alpha would reject an Omega in that situation like he did.”

Lin Sheng was silent for a moment, “But why did he come to find me?”

“Lin sweetie,” Yan Leyan suddenly regretted giving Lin Sheng’s phone number to Bai Ji, he solemnly said, “Don’t guess the thoughts of a scumbag, the more you guess, the deeper you get into trouble. I’m really worried about you, I’ll be back in a couple of days, don’t meet him!

“It’s not that serious, and school starts in a little over a week, so where would there be time to meet? Hatton is far from here, and he wouldn’t come specially.”

“Why do you sound so regretful?”

“I’m not.” Lin Sheng insisted.

Yan Leyan was really trying to persuade him, “Don’t forget that Bai Ji is a playboy Alpha, and Qu Baiyuan is Bai Ji’s friend, can it end well?”

Lin Sheng was a little unhappy, “Don’t say that about him.”

“Now you’re starting to defend him?” Yan Leyan’s voice raised from the phone, “Wake up!”

Lin Sheng’s mind was dizzy now, he wasn’t very clear-headed to begin with. It felt like he was going through a long heat, with unsatisfied glands constantly stirring, tempting him towards dangerous places.

Chatting with Yan Leyan didn’t ease his anxiety, but instead made him even more uneasy.

He hung up the phone and finished the tea in one gulp.

It was already late when Qu Baiyuan got home, driving from the old city area to his home, encountering traffic along the way.

He lived in a villa community in the southern district of City C, far from the bustling streets. After entering the gate, it took another ten minutes to reach his house along the tree-lined road. The dimly lit street lamps were hidden in dense foliage, desolate and eerie, lacking the warmth of the old streets in the city center.

His father hadn’t returned yet, and the nanny had already gone to sleep. The empty house was pitch black.

Qu Baiyuan took a shower and lay on the bed, pulling up the video he took of Lin Sheng that day.

In the video, the person was talking to a child with his head down, his expression very gentle. In the frame, the bruises on his fair face looked very obvious, and Qu Baiyuan enlarged the image and looked at it for a while. Then he exited the video and opened a video app, typing “National Comprehensive Fighting Championship Finals” in the search bar, and many edited videos appeared.

The fighting competition was broadcasted live on the internet, and there were enthusiasts who edited videos every year. He had also collected some videos of Lin Sheng before, but later deleted them.

He scrolled down a couple of pages and found what he wanted to see. The title of the video was: “Beautiful Omega Locks Down Strong Alpha!” And the cover of the video was Lin Sheng’s face.

This was the first round of the finals, and Lin Sheng’s opponent Tang Zhiyu was a much stronger Alpha than him.

In the octagonal cage, both of them were only wearing sports shorts. The only difference was that Lin Sheng had a black reinforced suppression patch on the back of his neck, serving as a double guarantee in case the suppressant accidentally failed. Alphas didn’t need suppression patches, but intentionally tearing off the opponent’s suppression patch during the match would result in immediate disqualification.

The video started, and a row of comments floated down from the top:

“Wow, this beautiful Omega couldn’t possibly fight!”

“Did this little Omega make it to the finals just because of his looks?”

“The Alpha’s strength is overwhelming, the little Omega can only rely on seduction.”

“I’ve watched that Omega’s matches before, he’s strong in wrestling!”

Because it was the finals, the strengths of both sides were evenly matched, and the initial probing was very cautious. The commentators were analyzing their fighting styles, and Tang Zhiyu’s advantage was in his legs, as he was currently looking for an opportunity to low kick.

Meanwhile, Lin Sheng kept himself at a safe distance, blocking Tang Zhiyu’s two low kicks. Suddenly, he rushed forward and broke through the defense with a continuous combination of punches when the opponent was blocking. Taking advantage of the opponent’s block, he abruptly grabbed Tang Zhiyu’s thigh, pressed his head against his waist, and pressed him tightly against the edge of the octagonal cage. Although the opponent’s strength was not weak, the two of them remained deadlocked for a full minute.

The comments flashed again:

“The little Omega is amazing, directly overwhelming the Alpha!”

“Hurry, hurry, pin the Alpha down and rub him on the ground!”

At this moment, Lin Sheng switched to a single-leg lock, suddenly exerted force, and successfully threw Tang Zhiyu to the ground. Immediately after, he used the weight of his entire body to press down on the Alpha. No matter how Tang Zhiyu struggled, he firmly held onto his neck, and his legs also tightly hooked around his waist, forming a perfect ground lock.

The audience at the scene began to scream wildly, and the comments became excited:

“Ah ah ah, the little Omega is awesome!!!”

“The Alpha was careless, actually got locked at the neck.”

The first few comments were relatively normal, but as the two struggled together, the style of the comments gradually changed:

“I wish I could be pressed down by this Omega too.”

“Alpha must be enjoying it, he must be doing it on purpose.”

“”Done jerking off, thanks uploader.”

“Is this something I can watch without paying?”

“This Omega is too beautiful, I’m suffocating.”

“This Omega’s physical strength is so good, it must be very enjoyable when…”

Lin Sheng kept his opponent pressed down for over 3 minutes until this round ended, and he won.

Qu Baiyuan stared at the intertwined half-naked bodies, feeling as if his heart was being pressed by something, very uncomfortable. This was a feeling that had never occurred before. Back then, when he looked at Lin Sheng, he was looking at a stranger through the screen. Even if the person on the screen was having sex with someone else, it only aroused his physical desires. But now everything seemed different. They met in the real world, Lin Sheng liked him, and he wanted Lin Sheng too.

Lin Sheng should be his, and only his.

There was a strong emotion, as if wanting to burst out of his body. He rarely had such intense emotions. The last time he lost control of his emotions was when his mother left them, many years ago.

He lay half on the bed, feeling a bit short of breath, and put his phone aside.

The bedroom light was dimmed to the darkest, and Qu Baiyuan stared at the milky glass lampshade for a while. In front of his eyes was still Lin Sheng’s sweaty upper body, his face somewhat distorted from exertion, frowning tightly, and his teeth biting into his lower lip, leaving a mark.

He thought of that day when Lin Sheng looked at him with wet eyes, asking if he could give him some pheromones. When pushed away, his eyebrows and nose were both red, looking fragile.

Suddenly, he felt that the pace of their relationship was too slow. He became more and more impatient, and the desire to possess and monopolize this Omega became extremely strong, so strong that he couldn’t tolerate any other Alpha touching him again.

Qu Baiyuan sighed deeply, reaching into his loose pajama pants…

There was suddenly a strong scent of red tea in the air.
