Chapter 05 – Whispers in the Rainstorm (2/2) (Is the Boyfriend Power Bursting or What~)
“Hss…”
A soft gasp was faintly hidden within the sound of the rainstorm. If one didn’t listen closely, it would be completely inaudible.
But this sound happened to reach Shen Yan’s ears, causing him to subconsciously walk into the narrow alley.
Bang—!
A dull thud suddenly echoed from the dark, rainy alley.
Immediately after, a soaking wet, miserable figure was tossed at his feet.
Shen Yan reflexively dodged the splashing mud and lowered his eyes to take a glance.
It was a strongly built man wearing a senior student’s uniform. His face was covered in red-stained muddy water, making him unrecognizable.
Following this, a tall and straight figure walked out from the dark depths of the alley.
As he strolled forward with slow, elegant steps, he pushed back the wet silver hair plastered to his forehead.
In the rainstorm, a face more breathtakingly beautiful than a woman’s was revealed.
This person possessed a pair of dark, profound blue eyes. Before stepping out, his eyes had been filled with frost and darkness, but the moment he clearly saw the person standing at the alley’s entrance, a trace of unease flickered across them.
“Why are you here?” Gu Zhuoran asked softly, his voice hoarse. A delayed voice-changing period made his voice sound a little strange.
His thin lips parted slightly, his voice muffled by the pouring rain. There were faint scratches on his face.
“Why are you here instead of taking your physical examination?” Shen Yan frowned, questioning him sharply, looking very angry.
His voice wasn’t loud, but his tone carried a stern sense of dissatisfaction.
“…” Gu Zhuoran was temporarily speechless. He originally came out to calm down, but ended up running into a mugger. The mugger just wasn’t as strong as he was and ended up getting tossed out.
Suddenly, the guy he had just thrown out jumped up, wrapped his arm around Shen Yan’s neck, and pulled out a knife from somewhere, pressing it against Shen Yan’s throat. He was using him as a hostage.
“Don’t move! Move… and I’ll slit his throat!” the tossed-out man roared viciously.
Shen Yan merely furrowed his brow slightly, preparing to make a move himself, when he saw Gu Zhuoran instantly go into a berserk state.
His pheromones exploded in an instant. Black-blue flames swallowed the man holding Shen Yan hostage in the blink of an eye.
The powerful pheromones of a high-tier Alpha, reeking of dominance, aggression, and slaughter, suppressed the opponent so heavily that he couldn’t even move.
Gu Zhuoran reached out a large hand, grabbed the man by his hair, and brutally slammed his head against the wall, creating a spiderweb crack and a deafening noise.
Smash——!
An act of absolute violence. The solid crunch of bone impacting the wall was crisp and terrifying, even amid the heavy rain.
But what was even more terrifying was the low, vicious threat this seemingly breathtaking man—who emitted such overbearing and bloodthirsty pheromones—whispered into the man’s ear.
‘Don’t touch him with your dirty hands, or else—die!’
In the Alpha world, pheromone rank suppression was innate and impossible to overcome.
The opponent was suppressed so hard by the top-tier pheromones Gu Zhuoran purposefully released that he almost suffocated, unable to make a single sound.
It wasn’t until he collapsed into the rain from massive blood loss to the head.
Gu Zhuoran shook the dirty blood off his hands as if nothing had happened, using the rainwater to wash away all traces.
It was clearly an act of bloodthirsty brutality, yet it was displayed with a mesmerizing blend of elegance and unbridled arrogance.
Having long since grown accustomed to all this, Shen Yan’s tea-colored eyes darkened. He pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and tossed it to him.
“Wipe it off quickly. The patrol police are coming.”
Gu Zhuoran froze for a second, caught the handkerchief, and lowered his head, letting his silver hair cascade over his shoulders like a waterfall.
Rainwater streamed down his silver hair. He looked a little disheveled, but not at all miserable, as if he were completely used to it.
Only today, unusually, a strange scent lingered at Shen Yan’s nose.
It seemed to be the pheromones Gu Zhuoran had released just an instant ago.
But he hadn’t presented yet. How could he possibly smell Gu Zhuoran’s pheromones?
As Shen Yan pondered this, he heard the whistles of the Xiacheng Qu patrol police approaching from a distance.
“Hey, what’s going on over there?” Several patrol police hurried over.
“Run, don’t just stand there!” Gu Zhuoran grabbed Shen Yan’s hand and bolted.
Are you kidding? It was fine if he got caught, but if Shen Yan got caught, it would be over!
