Ch53 - Do You Still Remember Yan Qiu?

Translator: Mogumoguchan

Editor: lolimelon 

During math class, Yan Qiu placed one elbow on the table, propped his chin on his palm, and twirled his pen around. 

Xie Yu’s words lingered in his mind, and even after most of the morning had gone by, he still did not manage to calm down. 

 

 

Yan Qiu moved the hand he had been using to prop up his head down to touch his neck. The gauze wrapping up his wounds were pressed down by his collar, and they bound him so tightly that his throat was in slight discomfort. He tried to adjust his collar a little so that it would become looser. 

The wound on his scent gland had recovered very quickly, and the wound on his nape had already recovered to the point where he no longer felt much pain. Tonight, he could remove the gauze.  

Yan Qiu lowered his arm and sighed. 

 

Even though the wound had healed, the wound in his heart had not. If this were in the past, he would never believe that he would one day be bitten by an alpha. 

When he remembered how his legs had grown weak when Ji Xinglan bit him, Yan Qiu felt as if there was a pair of hands squeezing down on his neck, and he felt incredibly suffocated. 

Ji Xinglan knew that he was Yan Qiu, but he still bit him. Wasn’t he afraid of being hit?

 

Yan Qiu tugged at his hair and opened the window by his side so that the air from outside could enter. The faint breeze blew on his face, scattering those heated thoughts a little. 

The effect of the temporary mark would only last for two to three days, and the refreshing fragrance that covered Yan Qiu’s entire body at first had already faded. Now, if no one actually sniffed at him closely, they would not be able to detect that scent. 

Yan Qiu could finally enter school without putting on pheromone perfume on himself. 

 

But there was also a slight drawback that came with the effects of the temporary mark fading away. Yan Qiu could clearly sense the changes in his body: the heat in him was showing signs of growing restless.  

The most direct symptom was that his addiction to Ji Xinglan’s pheromones was acting up again.

Yan Qiu felt too embarrassed to ask for his pheromones. Today, he tried to sniff Xie Yu’s pheromones. The scent was good, but the effect was practically nonexistent. 

It seemed like no matter how much he sniffed around, only Ji Xinglan’s pheromones smelled the best to him. It suited his tastes the most, and it felt the best and most exciting when he smelled it. 

When an omega could not smell the pheromones of the alpha he or she liked, they would feel as uncomfortable as a dying fish struggling in a dried-up lake. 

Yan Qiu discreetly eyed the human-shaped suppressant walking beside him and wondered how he should sniff him. But after he was exposed, that false reservation in him caused him to be unable to lay down his dignity and sniff Ji Xinglan. 

So Yan Qiu thought of a plan. He chose to act according to circumstances and sniff Ji Xinglan strategically while remaining beside him. Just like how enemies would build up their power in villages near a city to conquer it, he would lurk around Ji Xinglan to occasionally smell some of his pheromones.

While Ji Xinglan was not paying attention, Yan Qiu sneakily used his finger to touch him. He disguised his intentional touch into an accidental touch. Then, he brought the finger that had obtained a bit of Ji Xinglan’s pheromone to his nose so that he could sniff it.

After smelling it, he felt better.  

Yan Qiu’s “sneaky” act was actually not that discreet, but he still thought that it was impossible for Ji Xinglan to have noticed him. 

In truth, Ji Xinglan was looking at him in resignation. When he saw Yan Qiu having such a hard time trying to sniff his pheromones, he stretched a hand over to Yan Qiu. 

 

Yan Qiu had been spinning his pen with his right hand while he placed his left hand casually on the gap of their tables so that he could occasionally get some of Ji Xinglan’s pheromones over when Ji Xinglan suddenly placed his hand on his wrist.

This shocked Yan Qiu into shuddering, and the pen he had been spinning instantly fell from between his fingertips.  

“Gb ws qtfgbwbcfr rwfii ubbv?” Al Wlcuijc kjr ralii rajglcu ja tlr tfjv jcv rqbxf ja j nbiewf ktfgf bcis atf ybat bo atfw mbeiv tfjg ab rjs, “Po sbe ilxf la, sbe mjc ajraf la. P tjnf qifcas. Rb wjaafg tbk wemt sbe kjca, P mjc ulnf la ab sbe.”

Yan Qiu could hear that there was an underlying message in this rascal’s words. 

The concentration of pheromones in blood and other bodily fluids was higher. The pheromone concentration that evaporated in the air was only a little, and once it scattered in the air, the concentration would reduce even further. 

When alphas mark their omegas, they need to use their canine teeth to pierce through the omega’s scent gland so that they could inject a high concentration of pheromones into them, hence the part in an alpha with the highest concentration of pheromones was their mouths.  

If that were the case, if an omega wanted to get the most pheromones, the best way for it was French kissing.

‘Taste… taste?!’

In alarm, he sat up straighter and pretended as if he had nothing and knew nothing. He looked innocent and upright, but he could not help but look at his left hand through the corner of his eyes. 

He did not know whether Ji Xinglan had done it intentionally. After he placed a hand on Yan Qiu’s wrist, he never moved his hand away. Instead, he used his fingertip to play with the back of Yan Qiu’s hand, causing a great itch. Yan Qiu discreetly kicked Ji Xinglan twice, but Ji Xinglan did not let go, as if he was not afraid of pain in the slightest.  

The heat on the back of Yan Qiu’s hand gradually seeped into his body through his sleeve–even his ears turned red. 

When the math teacher noticed the actions of the students at the back, he nudged his glasses upward and shook his head. He was not Mr. Yang, and found it quite embarrassing to talk about children dating at a young age when he saw these couples acting all lovey-dovey. He was already so old. 

When the teacher turned his head around, Yan Qiu glared at Ji Xinglan. He tried to remove his hand, but no matter how much he tried, he could not. So, he could only give up and kick him discreetly. 

During recess, their homeroom teacher, Sun Mang, marked their work in the classroom. Hence, Xie Yu did not have the chance to challenge Ji Xinglan again.  

Yan Qiu had originally released a sigh of relief, but he did not expect that Xie Yu would challenge Ji Xinglan again during the self-study period near the end of school. 

Yan Qiu did not find it safe for them to talk alone. A year’s count of broken items in the whole school might not even reach the number of items they broke within one hour with each other. 

But Ji Xinglan pushed down on his shoulder when Yan Qiu tried to stand up. He asked him to stay in the classroom. 

“There’s a rumor saying that I fought against Xie Yu in the washroom last week for you,” Ji Xinglan said once he quirked his eyebrows.  

Yan Qiu did not want to experience being gossiped like that again, so even though he was already halfway out of his seat, he sat down again. Let them do whatever they wanted, as long as they did not say that they were fighting for him. 

“Don’t quarrel with him, and don’t attack him either. If he insists on attacking you, tell me, I’ll deal with him,” Yan Qiu gave him this instruction before Ji Xinglan left. 

 

When he saw that Ji Xinglan had gone out, Yan Qiu locked the backdoor. 

Even though Ji Xinglan had agreed to it, Yan Qiu was not confident in it. So, he decided to observe the situation through the almighty forum.  

When the fight broke out in the bathroom, rumors about Ji Xinglan and Xie Yu fighting over him broke out in the forum. 

And right after Ji Xinglan left, new rumors popped up. 

[Reporting! Ji Xinglan went to fight against Xie Yu on the balcony!]

[I’m selling Cola and sunflower seeds in the front row.] 

You are reading story After Transmigrating Into an Omega, I Was Marked by the Enemy at novel35.com

[I’m selling a handsome beta in the front row.]

[Fight! I’m rubbing my palms out of excitement.]

[Let’s bet who will win. Once you choose your side, you’re not allowed to switch!]

[Why aren’t any of you fans aiming to date him worried?] 

[Duh. No one can win against Lan Lan when it comes to fights. He can defeat a person with a single punch.]

[Xie Yu might be in danger. His build might be good among alphas, but he will definitely be unable to win against Ji Xinglan.]

[No way. I saw Xie Yuu jumping around alive the last time they fought against each other.]

[That’s because Ji Xinglan showed mercy.] 

[How ruthless. So, is that omega really cheating on them?]

[It doesn’t matter who wins. No matter what, they’re not fighting for me. My heart is broken…]

[I’m taking in the broken hearts of eighteen-year-old to twenty-year-old girls. I won’t reject anyone.]

Yan Qiu tossed the terminal on the table.  

There were people on the balcony watching the fight live. Yan Qiu could follow the event live and understand what was going on at the balcony. 

Xie Yu seemed to really be talking to Ji Xinglan. It would be great if they did not end up fighting, but the imagination of these onlookers was each greater than the last. Those who said that they would end up fighting had their own story, and those who said that they would not fight also had their own story. 

 

Very soon, this love triangle had seven different versions, and they came from seven different really good anonymous writers in the school. Instantly, those stories took flight and spread through the entire school. 

Aside from Yan Qiu himself, Ji Xinglan, and Xie Yu, practically everyone believed in it.  

In the beginning, Yan Qiu was still worried. He wondered whether Mr. Yang would suddenly appear and stone him before hanging him on a pole. 

But Mr. Yang did not come even after a long time had passed. Someone else he did not expect came up to him instead. 

[Do you have time to talk?] 

It was Lin Wei.  

Yan Qiu looked at the contact name in the dialogue box in his terminal. He remained silent for a while before he quickly typed on the screen of his terminal and entered an “okay” in the dialogue box. 

When he saw the message Lin Wei sent to his terminal, Yan Qiu looked through the chat history and found out that she actually knew Xiao Qiu. 

He did not have the hobby of looking at other people’s chats. He accidentally saw it because the information they had exchanged with each other previously was too little, and with one casual scroll, he ended up at the top of the chat. 

He looked at the sparse chats, and Yan Qiu was certain that Xiao Qiu was not familiar with Lin Wei. It seemed like they only got to know each other because they were in the same club last time.  

Yan Qiu felt as if he was facing a powerful enemy. He was worried that he would not be able to handle chatting with Lin Wei. Would he end up exposing himself? But he really did not expect that Lin Wei, the school princess, came to him to gossip.

[I heard that Ji Xinglan went to the balcony just now with Xie Yu to fight for you. Is that true?] Lin Wei asked. 

Yan Qiu knew that he would not be able to defend himself with just a few words when it came to this sort of rumor. So, for some strange reason, he decided to place his attention on one particular part of the sentence. [What? They’re fighting?]

When Yan Qiu heard that they were fighting, he nearly shot up from his seat and wanted to go to the balcony so that he could save Xie Yu and stop the fight.  

[No, no. They’re not fighting just yet,] Lin Wei explained, [But I’m watching. I don’t think they’re going to end up fighting. Ji Xinglan is definitely going to be unable to bear with the thought of hitting Xie Yu.]

When she said this, Yan Qiu was confused. 

Ji Xinglan would be unable to bear the thought of hitting Xie Yu?

That was a little too outrageous. Even if he was worried about Yan Qiu getting angry, Ji Xinglan would still be very willing to beat up Xie Yu.  

But Yan Qiu had finally seized a chance to get more information, so he was very willing to talk with Lin Wei. Since she started with the topic, Yan Qiu decided to test the waters and ask her. 

[I heard through the grapevine that you dated Ji Xinglan before, is that true?]

 

Even though Bai Yuanyuan had denied this already, it was still a good excuse for him to start a conversation. 

Yan Qiu had been trying to understand what had happened last year, and he also wanted to hear from Lin Wei, since she was involved.  

Lin Wei remained silent for a moment before she stated something that absolutely did not answer the question. [Be careful of Ji Xinglan.]

Yan Qiu’s heart skipped a beat. 

Perhaps the school princess thought that he was Ji Xinglan’s partner, and she wanted to sow discord between them. 

But what Lin Wei said next was completely out of Yan Qiu’s expectations.  

[I’m going to tell you the truth, so don’t be afraid. But Ji Xinglan… actually likes Xie Yu.]

Yan Qiu was so shocked that his jaw nearly dropped. 

‘What the heck? How can I not be afraid? This hypothesis is too friggin’ terrifying, okay?’

Yan Qiu slowly pressed a question mark in the dialogue box and sent his message. 

But Lin Wei said, [It’s absolutely true.]

She sent an exasperated emoji over, as if she remembered something that was not very pleasant. 

[I think that Ji Xinglan is a homo. He likes alphas.]

The school princess’ words were shocking. The extraordinary words caused Yan Qiu to be so shocked that his mouth was about to fall open.  

He quickly and willingly asked for her opinion, [What do you mean by that?]

[…I went through it once, that’s why I decided to be kind and give you a reminder.] After this, Lin Wei fell silent for a while before she sent another message. [At that time, I was really close to him, but I felt that his eyes were always fixed on another person.]

[Who?]

Lin Wei stopped typing for a while before she mysteriously sent him this text. [Do you still remember Yan Qiu?] 

Mogumoguchan: Lin Wei has a scheme, definitely. I don’t trust her.

lolimelon: i have to agree with not trusting Lin Wei, but i don’t think she’s lying about Ji Xinglan liking alphas
