Ch43 - Do You Know That You’re Currently Covered in My Scent?

Yan Qiu gave him a weak glare and withdrew his hand before quietly stuffing it under the blanket. 

It did not actually matter whether or not Ji Xinglan meant it when he said that he liked Yan Qiu. In fact, Yan Qiu felt so alarmed by his declaration that he wanted to run. After all, before this, he actually wanted to know who the “you” Ji Xinglan referred to was. 

 

 

Ji Xinglan did not seem to be saying these things to Yan Qiu no matter what. 

This caused Yan Qiu to feel depressed.  

As of now, the closer Ji Xinglan was to him, the harder it would be for him to accept the truth when he inevitably learned about it someday. 

 

After all, he had been really terrible to Ji Xinglan in the past. Ji Xinglan definitely hated him. 

Yan Qiu really wanted to intentionally make himself even more annoying so that Ji Xinglan would not like him. That way, when the truth was revealed, he would not hate Yan Qiu so much. 

Yan Qiu believed that he could still understand how Ji Xinglan would feel by then. After all, Ji Xinglan would suddenly find out the person he liked was actually the person he hated the most in the past. It would just be like how Yan Qiu would suddenly find out that this Ji Xinglan was not actually Ji Xinglan but was Chen Gou after he transmigrated into Ji Xinglan’s body. How would he be able to accept it?

 

Yan Qiu sighed in silence and tried to use pessimism to comfort himself. 

‘Anyway, Ji Xinglan has always hated me. Now, he just has another reason to hate me even more.’

When he thought of this, Yan Qiu could not help but reach out to touch his nape. Yesterday, Ji Xinglan broke through the skin there and injected his pheromones in him. It was still swollen and hurt a little. 

 

“…Consider yesterday as an accident.” Yan Qiu looked down and touched the wound. It had already been disinfected and dressed by Ji Xinglan. “Let’s just forget about it. But don’t do it again.” 

“An accident?” Ji Xinglan looked at him. 

“What else would it be? You already bit me. What else can we do about it?” Yan Qiu exhaled angrily. 

He was an alpha, but he was bitten on his nape and marked. This was a great humiliation. He could already be considered to be really nice that he had not stuffed Ji Xinglan into a sack and beaten him up. 

This was just too humiliating! Yan Qiu wanted to knock his head against the wall so he could forget.  

“But what are you going to do if your estrus period arrives again? You can’t be certain that you won’t run into accidents again, and I can’t promise that I won’t bite you again when you run into an emergency.” Ji Xinglan quirked his eyebrows and looked at him. 

Yan Qiu was rendered speechless. He had always lived by muddling along with his life. Once he had temporarily solved a problem, he would not be bothered to think about it any further. Besides, there were certain things where he really did not have the courage to think about. 

“Whatever it is, don’t mark me. You can do whatever else it is that you want.”

Ji Xinglan’s eyes turned dark. He said in a rather nonchalant manner, “If I don’t mark you, will you sleep with me?” 

Yan Qiu was so angry that he shoved him away. “Can’t you talk like a proper human being?”

Honestly, the problem with the temporary mark yesterday was not great. It would be gone in a few days. 

 

But if he was marked temporarily too many times, it might end up turning into a permanent bond. And once the permanent bond was made, he, as the omega, would be unable to leave his alpha. 

The surgery cost to get rid of a mark was very high, and the process was very painful. Since Ji Xinglan could not be responsible for him, Yan Qiu did not want to go through this pain out of the blue.  

In truth, Ji Xinglan was a little regretful after he bit Yan Qiu last time. In his anxiety, he had bitten Yan Qiu to suppress his estrus period, and now, he was worried that Yan Qiu would be angry at him once he woke up.

However, Ji Xinglan could see a gloomy look that refused to disappear from Yan Qiu’s eyes. Yan Qiu did not seem to be very happy. 

Sighing, he sat at the side of the bed and looked at Yan Qiu while he toyed with his fingers gently. 

“Alright, I won’t do it again,” he said, “I won’t do anything that you won’t like.”

“Promise?” Yan Qiu knew that Ji Xinglan was not very reliable, but once he made a promise, he would usually carry it out.  

An alpha would usually be nicer to his or her own omega after they finished marking them. Ji Xinglan stared at Yan Qiu as if he would never get bored staring at him… It was as if his face looked really good to him. 

Yan Qiu became annoyed. He pulled the blanket over himself and laid on his side so Ji Xinglan could only see the back of his head. 

The room was silent for a while. Yan Qiu said nothing, and Ji Xinglan just patiently reached out to tug at his hair which had curled up a little when he had been sleeping on it. 

“Ji Xinglan, a question. Just when did you start liking me?” 

Since the blanket was placed over his face, Yan Qiu’s voice was muffled, and it sounded a little nasally. 

After he finished asking that question, Ji Xinglan stopped combing through his hair with his hand. 

Yan Qiu continued laying with his back facing Ji Xinglan. He did not dare to look at him. 

He was terrified that Ji Xinglan would tell him that he fell in love with him at fight sight and he had liked him since a long time ago.  

That was practically the standard answer everyone knew how to use, but against his expectations, Ji Xinglan did not say that. 

Ji Xinglan licked his canines and leaned down to draw closer to his ears. The answer he gave was incredibly embarrassing. “It might have been from the moment you removed your pants in front of me.”

 

Since Yan Qiu did not know how to be an omega, he had made a fool of himself quite a number of times from the first day since he was reborn. When he remembered what happened that day, Yan Qiu felt his skin crawl a little. His face alternated between shades of white and red and he grabbed a pillow to throw at Ji Xinglan’s face. “Stop it. I’m being serious.”

Before the soft pillow could slap his handsome face, Ji Xinglan easily grabbed Yan Qiu’s wrist and snatched the “weapon” in his hands.  

“Aren’t you feisty? Looks like you’re already recovered.” Ji Xinglan smiled. He grabbed Yan Qiu’s hand and refused to let go. No matter how Yan Qiu struggled, he could not break free. In a semi-joking tone, he said, “Then I’ll give a serious answer. Honestly, it’s from the first day I smelled your pheromones.”

Yan Qiu turned his head around. He still had half of his face hidden under the blanket, but his eyes were not covered by the blanket, so he stared at him, puzzlement in his eyes. 

Yan Qiu was a little surprised when Ji Xinglan said that he fell in love with him when he smelled his pheromones. 

‘The first time he smelled my pheromones…?’ 

Could it be from the moment he had accidentally removed his inhibition collar when he had just transmigrated? At that time, both of them had nearly gone too far while they were in the study.

“Are you talking about the time we were in the study?” Yan Qiu blurted out and asked. Ji Xinglan said nothing, but when Yan Qiu saw that he did not answer and neither did he deny it, Yan Qiu knew that he had already admitted to it. 

But that would be strange. In his puzzlement, Yan Qiu tugged at his collar and sniffed at his own scent. “Do my pheromones really smell that good?”

Since he was young, he never really liked the smell of his own pheromones. He knew that his scent was not pungent, but for an alpha, his scent was too fragrant and sweet. It did not smell like a man’s scent at all.

But Ji Xinglan actually said that he liked this scent? For a period of time, Yan Qiu suddenly felt that his own pheromones had become an adorable existence. 

He knew that some people had a hand fetish, and some people had a leg fetish. He did not expect that there were people with a pheromone fetish.

Yan Qiu’s pheromones might smell like an omega’s, but he was 100% an alpha. Could it be that Ji Xinglan could fall in love with someone purely based on their pheromones? … Then, if Yan Qiu did not have that abnormality in his pheromones, would Ji Xinglan have fallen for him at first sight after he smelled his pheromones?

When he thought of this, Yan Qiu could not help but sigh a little.  

Perhaps this was what they called a strange coincidence. 

Once he thought of this, his eyes gradually became unfocused. Yan Qiu felt that he must have been spoiled over the past few days by Ji Xinglan. 

Ji Xinglan was too good to him. He was beginning to long for things that simply did not belong to him. 

He quietly sized up the person sitting by the side of the bed. Even though Ji Xinglan was no longer the seventeen-year-old young master in the past, the moment Yan Qiu was reborn and saw Ji Xinglan, he knew very clearly that his own feelings had not changed.  

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to stay. 

Yan Qiu was used to being wild. There had never been anything that managed to tie him down, except for the matters of the heart. Even when Ji Xinglan mentioned the marriage and the child, it would not have been able to convince him to stay. The only reason why he stayed was because he had been willing. 

 

Yan Qiu’s gaze turned a little dark. 

Since Ji Xinglan liked him from the moment he smelled his pheromone and did not like the original Xiao Qiu, then… was there a possibility of the two of them being together? 

Even if the possibility was so small that it was insignificant, when he thought of this, Yan Qiu felt that he could not breathe anymore. 

In the past, he never thought about the possibility of him being together with Ji Xinglan. In the past, Yan Qiu always gave himself to despair. He used increasingly worse lies to make himself numb as he watched Ji Xinglan be together with all sorts of beautiful ladies.

He had never imagined that there would be a day where Ji Xinglan would be like this, where he would sit next to the bed and say that he liked Yan Qiu. 

Yan Qiu looked up with a complicated expression and stared at the person beside him. He actually found himself wondering whether he should ask him whether he was willing to be together with him.  

But his lips quivered. The question lingered in his mind for a while and was about to spill out of his lips, but in the end, he still did not dare to ask. 

Yan Qiu knew that if he asked that question right now, Ji Xinglan would say that he was willing to without even thinking about his question. 

But that was not what Yan Qiu wanted. He wanted to know the real answer, but he was also afraid of hearing a rejection. 

Yan Qiu did not know what would happen when he obtained the answer later.  

If Ji Xinglan learned that he was not the sweet omega fiancée he originally had and learned that he was actually the incompetent alpha delinquent he once hated the most… Yan Qiu simply was not confident whether Ji Xinglan would be able to accept him. 

At that moment, he suddenly really hoped that he never met Ji Xinglan in the past or never provoked him. Even if they were just strangers, their situation would still be better than it was right now. 

The bright, dazzling, white light in the bathroom reflected on the clean mirror and snow-white tiles, illuminating the room so brightly that Yan Qiu felt a little blinded. 

Yan Qiu stood in front of the sink to clean himself up. As he squeezed out toothpaste onto his toothbrush, he let his mind wander.  

He had just stuffed his toothbrush into his mouth when he raised his head and saw a person standing behind him in the mirror, shocking him to the point where he nearly swallowed the mint flavored toothpaste. 

“Do it slowly.” Ji Xinglan hugged him from behind him. While he was washing up, he stuck close to Yan Qiu. His hands had even started wandering by lifting his pajamas. 

Yan Qiu cast a glance into the mirror and he noticed that he seemed to have become a little fatter. His ribs were no longer as prominent as before. 

Over the past few days when he stayed at Ji Xinglan’s house, the food and treatment he received were really good. Yan Qiu did not need to do anything and only needed to play with his terminal and the kitten. He spent ten hours a day sleeping. As a result, he seemed to have become chubbier.  

He was originally 1.7 m tall, and he weighed at only around 50 kg. Even for an omega, he was still too thin, and if anyone touched him, they would find that he was all bones under his skin. In fact, his bones would dig into another person if anyone held him. As he worked hard in stuffing himself with food, he had finally become a little plumper, and his complexion also improved. His skin was no longer a sickly shade of pale. In fact, his skin was radiant with a healthy red flush to it. 

Yan Qiu stared at Ji Xinglan quietly through the mirror. It was no wonder why so many people liked him and wanted to marry him because of his gentleness. 

 

Yan Qiu sighed. He finally understood the difference between him and Ji Xinglan. It was no wonder why his luck with girls was forever worse than Ji Xinglan’s. 

It was morning, but Ji Xinglan insisted on squeezing into a bathroom with him. The originally large bathroom became small because of two men squeezing inside it, so it became inevitable that their limbs would knock into each other.  

“Are you nuts?” Yan Qiu could not endure this anymore. He spat out the bubbles in his mouth and finally chased Ji Xinglan out of the bathroom. 

Yan Qiu shut the door and hung his towel on the rack, then picked up a lotion placed by the sink. 

He never used this stuff, but an omega’s skin was rather weak, and it would become dry during autumn and winter. When Ji Xinglan saw that his lips were a little dry, he insisted that he put on some lotion. 

Yan Qiu regarded this with disdain and just casually squeezed some of it on his hand before smearing it all over his face. Then, he considered himself to have finished his task.  

Once he was finished, Ji Xinglan brought out a thermometer from the head of the bed and wanted to check his temperature. 

“Lie down.” Ji Xinglan picked up an alcohol swab and disinfected the tip of the thermometer while he instructed Yan Qiu. 

Yan Qiu sat down by the side of the bed and stared at him in puzzlement. “What are you doing?”

Ji Xinglan tossed the alcohol swab by the side and flung the thermometer. Even though he was a proper student from the military school, he ended up saying something fit for a scoundrel. “When you measure temperature, rectal temperature is more accurate.” 

Yan Qiu did not know why he instantly understood what he meant, and his face immediately turned red. He nearly flung the thermometer on the floor. Ji Xinglan pushed him down. “Don’t move. If the mercury spills out, it’ll be troublesome.”

“Don’t we have electronic thermometers now?” Yan Qiu pulled a long face. 

“It’s broken,” Ji Xinglan said in a very righteous manner. 

When Yan Qiu stared at his face, he began to strongly wonder whether Ji Xinglan had broken the thermometer from the start.  

In the end, after waging a small war in his mind, Yan Qiu laid down on the bed in a tragic manner. Ji Xinglan could sense that even his calves were trembling, and he found it amusing. He patted Yan Qiu gently to tell him to get up. 

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore.” He picked up a pillow and placed it behind Yan Qiu. Then, he reached out to grab his chin. “Come, open up.”

This method was much better. Yan Qiu opened his mouth obediently, but Ji Xinglan did not put the thermometer into his mouth. Instead, he leaned down to kiss him. While Yan Qiu still had his mouth open, he seized the opportunity to tease his tongue, making Yan Qiu so angry that he shoved and punched him. 

When Yan Qiu was tormented so much that his legs became weak, Ji Xinglan was finally willing to put the thermometer into his mouth and smoothed out his fringe.  

Yan Qiu had that cold thermometer dangle from his mouth, and with his numb tongue, he pushed down on the tip of the thermometer. He looked away, anger evident on his face. 

He would never believe this stupid liar again. 

 

“Stay at home tomorrow to rest. You shouldn’t go to school for the time being.”

Ji Xinglan helped him adjust the thermometer so that it was positioned properly under his tongue. His actions caused slight discomfort to Yan Qiu, and he frowned a little.  

“I’m goin’ do hool.” Yan Qiu could not open his mouth now, so he could not speak clearly. 

“Are you sure?” Ji Xinglan stared at him for a few seconds before he suddenly drew closer and said, “Did you know that your entire body smells like me right now?”

Mogumoguchan: What’s with the angst? Also, if your lips are dry, shouldn’t you be putting on lip balm?

lolimelon: smear the lotion on your lips and try not to lick them…… jk that’s a bad idea
