Chapter 79: I Always Thought You Were an O
Jiang Chenyan gradually let go of all resistance. His body became as soft as a pool of spring water. He allowed the other’s scorching pheromones to invade his gland bit by bit and seep into his blood.
He uncontrollably leaned forward slightly, actively approaching that heat source, his fingertips trembling slightly.
Subconsciously, Jiang Chenyan knew that the person before him was not a villain; it was Shen Shiyue. But it was also Shen Shiyue who had kept him in the dark for so long, making him believe in the so-called plot like a fool.
His heart was full of questions he wanted to ask. Why didn’t he explain from the beginning? Why didn’t he reveal his Alpha identity?
His consciousness drifted on the edge of a stupor. Jiang Chenyan’s thoughts were like a ball of tangled yarn, repeatedly coiling around these questions.
But then he thought about it… Shen Shiyue seemed to have never personally admitted to being an Omega. From beginning to end, those self-important assumptions were just his own wild guesses based on the plot.
Like a clown.
Clearly, the suspicious points about Shen Shiyue had never ceased, and he wasn’t entirely unaware. He was just stubbornly believing in the plot settings, deciding that Shen Shiyue could only be an Omega.
An Omega… explosive transformation into an Alpha?
This absurd fact was like a fine needle, fiercely piercing through all of Jiang Chenyan’s perceptions.
It also pierced through the system’s perception.
The system spoke tremblingly: [Host, don’t be anxious. I’ll go check immediately.]
“…”
On the hospital bed, Jiang Chenyan curled up quietly. His face was so pale it was almost transparent. His long eyelashes drooped, casting a small shadow under his eyes.
Ariel, wearing a black trench coat, leaned against the cold wall. His gaze was darkly locked on the person on the bed. He asked Shen Shiyue, who was standing by the bedside, “Why didn’t you just…”
Shen Shiyue knew the words Professor Ariel had left unsaid.
Directly enter the reproductive cavity and complete a permanent mark.
With their pheromone compatibility as high as 99%, it would have been enough to calm the disordered and rampaging pheromones in his body.
But Shen Shiyue just slowly shook his head, a complex emotion flitting through his eyes. “That would be taking advantage of someone’s peril. I can’t do it.”
Hearing this, Ariel let out a low laugh. Putting on such an act? “It seems you care about him a lot.” He then mocked, “Since you care so much, why hide your identity for so long?”
Shen Shiyue said nothing. The air pressure around him quietly dropped. In front of Professor Ariel, all his disguises and concealments were like paper, with nowhere to hide.
His eyes gradually became deep and bottomless. He spoke calmly, “I will solve all of this.”
“Ha?” Ariel raised an eyebrow, as if he found it absurd, yet also interesting. “And those three? They aren’t characters that are easy to deal with. How do you plan to shut their mouths?”
“They want to possess him…” Shen Shiyue slowly knelt down, his fingertips gently covering Jiang Chenyan’s slightly cool hand on the bed. There were some things he didn’t want to admit, but he had to.
He knew the thoughts of those three all too well. They would never publicize Jiang Chenyan’s identity. Once Jiang Chenyan’s Omega identity was exposed to the public eye, it would only attract the covetousness of countless top Alphas. At that time, the few of them would have to face endless competition with a crowd of Alphas.
Jiang Chenyan wasn’t just an Omega; he was the highest rank… This would undoubtedly push him to the forefront of the storm.
Ariel pressed his hand to his forehead, a bit of impatience coloring his brow. It wasn’t that he was unaware of the difficult situation for Omegas in this world, but he still couldn’t help but whisper a complaint: “I really don’t get it. Why is he so set on joining the Alliance? To be honest, could it be that he wants to cooperate with the rebels as a mole and come back to resist the Alliance?”
Shen Shiyue’s body stiffened. It really did sound like something Jiang Chenyan might do in the future.
But he still said, “He won’t…”
Ariel was only saying those words casually. Long ago, he had secretly investigated Jiang Chenyan and knew that the other party had no connection with the rebels at all.
Shen Shiyue pulled the corner of his lip, revealing a bitter smile.
The two of them, in the end, both hid secrets in their hearts that they didn’t tell anyone. Neither had been entirely honest with the other.
Ariel felt a bit irritable. “Try your best to persuade him. The matter with the Alliance must be reconsidered. It’s best to drop out as soon as possible and stop wading into these muddy waters.”
“We’ll wait until he wakes up,” Shen Shiyue’s voice was low and hoarse.
Ariel was amused by Shen Shiyue’s attitude. He really was an irredeemable romantic. Wait for him to wake up? Listen to his opinion? It’s already a matter of life and death, and you’re still indulging that stubborn mule’s temper?
“Shen Shiyue,” Ariel sneered, “it would be a miracle if he listened to you obediently after waking up.”
Shen Shiyue didn’t answer. For a while, the two of them looked at each other, trapped in a stalemate.
The person on the bed seemed to sense the freezing, stagnant atmosphere in the air. His hand, which had been resting quietly, moved almost imperceptibly.
Because of his irritability, Ariel wanted to smoke a cigarette, but considering the patient in the room, he gave up. For an Omega to reach this stage, it really wasn’t easy. It could be said he was quite impressive. After all, he had physically beaten many self-important Alphas.
It wasn’t that Omegas lacked ability; it was just that for a long time, they had been tightly bound by the world’s inherent prejudices and stereotypes, which covered the light that should have bloomed.
Jiang Chenyan was like this, and so was Kai Lan.
The dawn light filtered through the gaps in the curtains and spilled into the room, weaving a warm glow on the floor and the edge of the bed. The air was mixed with a faint scent of pheromones.
On the large hospital bed, two figures were tightly entwined, indistinguishable from each other.
The person below seemed to be trying his best to endure. His forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat that slid down his temple, wetting the pillowcase. His chest rose and fell sharply, and fragmented gasps escaped from between his teeth as his body trembled in suppression.
His neck was firmly restrained by the tall figure above him. Warm lips and teeth were pressed against his fragile gland, carrying the pressure of a light bite, leaving ambiguous red marks. Every breath was scorching as it branded his skin, making him shiver with fine tremors.
Hot. Extremely hot.
Jiang Chenyan felt as if he were on fire. Within the heat was an etching, bone-deep soreness. His whole body was weak, his breathing carried a tremor, and his consciousness drifted between a daze and clarity.
He struggled to lift his heavy eyelids. Before his vision could focus, he was startled by the scene before him. The two were pressed extremely close, their noses almost touching. The gland at his neck still held the lingering warmth of the other person.
Jiang Chenyan’s brain instantly short-circuited.
He was stunned for several full seconds before suddenly snapping back to reality. In a fit of shame and anger, he questioned the person on top of him: “What are you doing?”
Shen Shiyue’s fingers paused slightly. He noticed that the person in his arms had just woken up; his body was still soft, lacking even the strength to lift a hand.
His eyes were dark. He used his palm to gently press down on Jiang Chenyan’s arm, both to prevent him from struggling and to prevent him from moving and straining his body. Then, he lowered his head. His lips and teeth touched that already reddened gland. Amidst the light biting, he slowly injected the last wisp of soothing pheromones into Jiang Chenyan’s body.
At the end, he only uttered two words: “Marking.”
He could actually say these words without any expression. Jiang Chenyan only felt the sour, numbing sensation from the gland at the back of his neck shoot straight to his heart. His mind was a mess of porridge, and he was so tired he just wanted to close his eyes.
It was annoying… his heart felt stifled.
Shen Shiyue took the opportunity to gently pull Jiang Chenyan into his arms. His palm pressed against the other’s sweat-drenched back. His voice was low and hoarse. “It’s difficult, I know. It was I who lied to you. I was never a low-rank Alpha. I am a top-rank Alpha.”
“I’m sorry.”
Three simple words, yet they made all the strength drain from Jiang Chenyan. He felt even more tired…
From start to finish, he was a complete clown, single-mindedly believing that the protagonist shou in the plot was an Omega.
Since the plot had already broken beyond repair, Jiang Chenyan simply gave up and used all his strength to grab Shen Shiyue’s collar. “What else are you hiding from me?! Say it all at once.”
Shen Shiyue looked down at his reddened eyes. “Whatever you want to know, I will tell you. I won’t hide anything.”
Jiang Chenyan took a deep breath, and the question he had held in for so long burst out: “Does your family… actually own a mine?”
Shen Shiyue was visibly stunned for a moment. After thinking carefully for a while, he answered truthfully: “Probably not.”
Jiang Chenyan instantly breathed a sigh of relief. The stone in his heart fell to the ground. Good, good. As long as there’s no mine, at least it hasn’t broken too ridiculously. There’s still some room for recovery.
But in the next second, Shen Shiyue added seriously: “No mine, but we have power.”
The breath Jiang Chenyan had just released instantly got stuck in his throat. His expression froze on the spot.
“Power?”
Shen Shiyue comforted him, “Just a bit of power, but you don’t need to feel pressured.”
“Shut up!” Jiang Chenyan felt the veins in his temples throbbing with anger. Saying this now was purely adding fuel to the fire.
“Sorry.” A trace of helplessness flitted through Shen Shiyue’s eyes. He obediently shut his mouth. Jiang Chenyan was a bit hard to coax today.
The gloom in Jiang Chenyan’s chest wouldn’t disperse, and his brow was tightly furrowed.
Shen Shiyue was silent for a moment. “I didn’t intend to hide it from you. It’s just that the family situation is too complex to explain all at once. Let’s solve the problems at hand first, alright?”
Jiang Chenyan took a deep breath and slowly nodded.
Indeed, there was a mess of problems waiting to be cleaned up. Xie Huaijin and the others, as well as the matter of joining the Alliance, all had to be handled.
After patiently finishing explaining his thoughts, Shen Shiyue’s eyes darkened slightly as he followed up with a question: “You still want to join the Alliance? You absolutely must go?”
Jiang Chenyan lowered his eyes. In fact, he didn’t want to join the Alliance at all. His main purpose was to pass the audit and smoothly obtain the early graduation certificate from the military academy.
His irritability grew stronger. It felt as if everything had slipped out of his control and was hopelessly messed up. He hadn’t handled a single thing well. “You clearly said before that you wouldn’t stop me.”
“Mm.” Shen Shiyue looked down, his long eyelashes casting a shadow over his eyes, perfectly hiding the gloom and obsession surging within. His voice was low to the point of being hoarse.
Jiang Chenyan clenched his fingers, his Adam’s apple bobbed once, and he threw out another seemingly random question, his earlobes quietly turning red: “Also… besides the mark, you didn’t do anything else to me, did you?”
“No…” Shen Shiyue’s voice was as light as a sigh, yet his eyes grew darker and darker, as cold as ice. “I was afraid you wouldn’t like it.”
Kisses didn’t count, and bathing didn’t count either.
Jiang Chenyan’s heart suddenly shuddered. His throat felt as if it were blocked by something. He couldn’t say a word, and only silence spread between the two of them.
He took a deep breath. He had been too emotional just now.
“Shen Shiyue.”
“Thank you anyway for saving me from them.”
Shen Shiyue’s body stiffened, and then he unconsciously held the person in his arms even tighter. The body under his palm was warm and soft, and his nose was filled with the sweet scent of the other’s pheromones. His voice was low and burning. “If you are in danger, I must get to you.”
“As for marking you… you didn’t reject me…”
Jiang Chenyan was speechless. I was unconscious, how was I supposed to reject you?
Shen Shiyue continued: “When I marked you, you didn’t push me away either. Moreover, your pheromones were in a mess at that time and the situation was critical. I had to help you.”
“Stop talking!” Jiang Chenyan interrupted Shen Shiyue, pressing his hand to his forehead. He had the illusion of being manipulated by the other party.
He hurriedly turned his head away, avoiding Shen Shiyue’s gaze. “I want to sleep now. Let me go.”
“Alright.” Shen Shiyue gave a low response. His movements were gentle as he laid the person down. Then he leaned over, his warm breath pressing against Jiang Chenyan’s ear as he spoke in a low, seductive voice: “Do you know? Our pheromone compatibility is very high.”
Jiang Chenyan, “…”
He pulled back slightly, his gaze tightly locking onto Jiang Chenyan’s face. “I actually really want to ask. When you found out I am a top-rank Alpha, was your heart filled with disappointment or happiness?”
What kind of inexplicable question was this? Jiang Chenyan had zero interest in answering.
I always fcking thought you were an Omega!*
But Shen Shiyue seemed completely unable to read the resistance and wordless frustration on his face as he continued to talk to himself. “Do you know? I’ve been frantically self-persuading. You are clearly an Omega, yet you always acted indifferent when we had physical contact. Was it because I claimed my rank was low back then, so you felt I wasn’t terrifying and didn’t treat me like an aggressive Alpha like Xie Huaijin and the others?”
Jiang Chenyan’s expression froze. His mind felt like there were countless threads tangled together. What did he just say? Frantically self-persuading?
“It’s not like that,” he managed to squeeze out after a long time.
Shen Shiyue’s eyes darkened as he pressed further: “Then what is it like?”
Jiang Chenyan didn’t know how to explain, so he simply gave up and refused to talk about it. “I’m really tired.”
Just then, a light cough came from his mind: [You two pause for a second.]
[Host, I know where the problem is!]
“Speak.” Jiang Chenyan gritted his teeth, having an ominous premonition.
[So about this book you traveled into… actually, if you say it has a problem, it has a problem. If you say it doesn’t, it doesn’t.]
Jiang Chenyan: “…” What’s the difference between saying that and saying nothing?
[Cough. Actually, you’ve entered a fanfiction! Hahaha, look at how this happened. No wonder the plot has broken so much that even the original author wouldn’t recognize it!]
“Do I look like I’m laughing?”
The system felt guilty: […]
Fanfiction? This broken system actually threw him into the wrong world?!
Translator’s Note: Wait, the 99% compatibility trope and it’s a fanfiction? This explains the “explosive transformation” of the original shou! Poor Chenyan is a professional at being a “clown” now. In Chinese fandom, “frantic self-persuasion” (自我攻略 – zì wǒ gōng lüè) often refers to a character coming up with their own reasons for why someone loves them or why they should love someone. Shen Shiyue has been busy!
