Chapter 96: Complete Marking; Comforting / Entering / Kissing the Other’s Sweat-Soaked…
Jiang Chenyan was about to say something more when a gunshot rang out not far away. A few breaths later, a second shot followed in quick succession.
A flash of surprise crossed both of their eyes at the same time. With a tacit exchange of looks, they walked toward the direction where Mo Qingyu and the others were.
As they drew closer, they could see Walter lying on the ground. His chest was a mess of bloody flesh, and dark red blood meandered along his body, gathering into a small, dark pool on the floor. The Alpha’s eyes were tightly shut and his limbs were stiff; all signs of life had long since vanished. The arrogant aura he held in life was completely gone.
Ye Qingyu and Kai Lan stood quietly to one side. Their expressions were calm, bordering on indifferent. There was no conversation and no extra movement.
Only Mo Qingyu’s face was pale and numb.
Jiang Chenyan’s throat tightened. He didn’t know what to say.
At that moment, the light-brain on Shen Shiyue’s wrist glowed with a faint light. A message from Ji Xuan popped up on the screen.
He told everyone, “It’s over.”
The moment the characters faded, Shen Shiyue looked up at Jiang Chenyan beside him. “Let’s go.”
Jiang Chenyan nodded slowly. Before leaving, he chatted with Ye Qingyu for a while. Ye Qingyu was actually quite happy; she felt that the suffering of the past half-month hadn’t been in vain, as she had inadvertently won over a Jiang Chenyan.
…
Overnight, the entire net exploded. The LE Organization was completely destroyed. Most of those members who had committed all sorts of evil went missing, their tracks almost completely erased. After the clamor died down, everything seemed to quietly reset to the right track, returning to peace.
Late that night, a villa stood in quiet solitude.
The entire villa was hidden among lush greenery. Gilded lines traced the exquisite contours of the European-style dome. The white walls shimmered with a gentle luster under the moonlight. In the courtyard, neatly trimmed plants surrounded a carved fountain. Warm yellow wall lamps lit up sequentially along the colonnade, perfectly isolating the desolation of the outskirts. It was luxurious and comfortable.
Jiang Chenyan had just finished bathing. He was loosely wrapped in only a white bath towel, and his hair had been blown soft and fluffy. He lay down on a soft, large bed.
His fingertips tapped on his light-brain, and he skillfully entered a game interface, his eyes focused on the screen.
Only now, having settled down, did Jiang Chenyan realize he had followed Shen Shiyue here in a daze.
When Shen Shiyue pushed the door open and entered, the sight that greeted him was Jiang Chenyan lying on his side. The loose towel barely wrapped around his waist and abdomen, leaving his two straight, clean legs casually crossed. His skin was blindingly white. Mixed with the rich, sweet fragrance after a bath, the scent filled the entire bedroom, intense and alluring, drifting straight into the nose.
Shen Shiyue’s Adam’s apple bobbed. His throat felt inexplicably dry.
His eyes gradually darkened. Unconsciously, his footsteps lightened as he slowly approached the person on the bed.
Jiang Chenyan didn’t even look up when he heard the sound. “Finished washing?”
His fingertips were still rapidly controlling the light-brain, his gaze firmly locked on the game interface.
Shen Shiyue gave an “En” and nodded slightly, his gaze glued to Jiang Chenyan’s fair legs, unable to look away even for a second.
Jiang Chenyan was too lazy to move. He reached out and hooked Shen Shiyue’s hem, pulling lightly. “Play with me for a bit.”
Caught off guard, Shen Shiyue stumbled. Looking at the corners of Jiang Chenyan’s eyes, which were misty from the water vapor, and his reddened lips, he sighed in compromise. “Alright…”
When the game started, Jiang Chenyan played with total focus, but Shen Shiyue was absent-minded the entire time. Most of his thoughts had long since drifted away, and he repeatedly made mistakes and fed the enemy. After Jiang Chenyan lost several rounds in a row, he completely lost the drive to keep playing. He casually tossed the light-brain onto the nightstand.
Frowning and clenching his jaw, he began to complain, “It’s not—” Before his anger could flare up and he could vent by scolding the other man, warm, soft lips pressed against his unexpectedly, blocking his voice.
Shen Shiyue’s arms suddenly tightened, circling Jiang Chenyan firmly in his embrace. With a force that brooked no escape, he leaned over and pressed the man into the soft bed. The temperature of the palms pressed against his back was scalding; he was being trapped completely.
Jiang Chenyan’s head buzzed, going blank for an instant. He raised his hand to lightly push against Shen Shiyue. Surprisingly, the other man was obedient; detecting Jiang Chenyan’s resistance, Shen Shiyue immediately loosened his grip.
His lips still felt burning to the touch. Jiang Chenyan’s breathing was rapid and shallow, as if the oxygen in his chest had been completely sucked away. Even his fingertips felt a bit numb from the lack of oxygen.
Shen Shiyue lowered his eyes, waiting for Jiang Chenyan to vent his emotions and question why he had suddenly kissed him.
As it turned out, after recovering for a long while, Jiang Chenyan spat out one sentence in a raspy voice: “Don’t ever play games with me again.”
Shen Shiyue went silent.
“You’re too much of a noob.”
Shen Shiyue: “…”
After a brief silence, Shen Shiyue lifted Jiang Chenyan’s neck from the bed and pulled him into his arms. His chin rested in the crook of Jiang Chenyan’s shoulder, his voice very deep. “Then let’s not play games.”
Warm breath brushed against the side of his neck with a fine itch. He gently rubbed against Jiang Chenyan’s neck, his hair making Jiang Chenyan’s skin feel numb.
“Didn’t you say you would stay with me through my rut?”
Jiang Chenyan raised his hand to press against Shen Shiyue’s chest, feeling a bit helpless. “Your current state doesn’t look like a rut at all. You look perfectly clear-headed to me.”
Shen Shiyue lowered his eyes, his thumb lightly stroking Jiang Chenyan’s cheek. The temperature of his palm was shockingly hot. “I’m so hot right now. My whole body is restless.”
Jiang Chenyan didn’t respond.
It looked like there was no escaping today.
It was just that he felt a bit like backing out.
To be honest, this was his first time; it was normal to be nervous.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Jiang Chenyan simply took the initiative. He raised his hands to cup Shen Shiyue’s cheeks, looking up to kiss him. It was better to strike first than to be passive and anxious; at least this way, he wouldn’t be too afraid.
The moment their lips touched, Shen Shiyue’s whole body stiffened. Then, his strength tightened, and he almost wanted to embed Jiang Chenyan into his very blood and bone, the kiss growing deeper and deeper.
Shen Shiyue’s voice was incredibly raspy: “I want to completely mark you…”
Jiang Chenyan’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyelashes fluttered lightly. “It will be very painful.”
He had heard many descriptions. A complete marking required biting through the glands on the back of the neck, as well as opening one’s body to accept the Alpha’s pheromones and enter the reproductive chamber. That sensation likely wouldn’t be very pleasant.
After a complete marking, the Alpha and Omega would form a fatal bond. For the rest of their lives, their pheromones would be completely tied together. They would only be able to clearly perceive the fluctuations of each other’s scent; other Omega or Alpha pheromones would never be able to stir the slightest ripple in them again.
This exclusive bond would tie the two firmly together, never to be separated.
Shen Shiyue’s fingers tightened around Jiang Chenyan’s waist. “I’ll try my best not to hurt you. I’ll definitely be gentle.”
Jiang Chenyan lowered his eyelashes, his heart beating fast and heavy. “Try your best?”
Key point: Try his best.
Shen Shiyue lowered his gaze. His scalding breath brushed past Jiang Chenyan’s ear, making him numb. “I’m just so afraid of you being snatched away by someone else again. Jiang Chenyan, I don’t have a shred of a sense of security.”
“Are you unwilling? This is the proof that we will be together forever.”
“I love you, so I want to be tied to you. Become your Alpha.”
The hesitation in Jiang Chenyan’s eyes gradually faded. How painful could it be? He was just scaring himself.
“Alright.”
…
Pain.
His consciousness was heavy and chaotic. Jiang Chenyan’s whole body was trembling. the burning pain in the glands at the back of his neck was agonizing. Cold sweat from his temples rolled down his jaw, soaking the pillowcase.
The Alpha’s canines sank ruthlessly into the gland. The force was so fierce that Jiang Chenyan’s whole body went rigid.
Scalding Alpha pheromones were forcefully injected along the teeth marks, drilling deep into the glands with a searing temperature. The pain surged wildly through his nerves, making Jiang Chenyan’s consciousness sink and his body tremble uncontrollably.
The Mandrake-scented pheromones were released without reservation, gradually filling the entire room. Jiang Chenyan was in a daze, his consciousness softened by that bewitching fragrance. His vision was blurred, and even the thought of resisting began to drift away.
He regretted it to death. He should have known there was no such thing as “trying his best not to hurt”; it was just a lying word to coax him.
The Mandrake pheromones briefly thinned. Jiang Chenyan became a bit clearer. He curled into a ball from the pain, his fingertips white as they death-gripped the bedding. His voice was broken and raspy. “Shen Shiyue, you lied to me…”
Knowing the other was suffering.
So Shen Shiyue leaned over to kiss every part of Jiang Chenyan’s sweat-soaked forehead and reddened eye corners. The small kisses fell hurriedly and lightly. Tender coaxing spilled from his throat, his tone so soft it could practically drip water, yet the movements of his hands didn’t stop for a moment.
Pain was rubbed into the ultimate entanglement. Jiang Chenyan couldn’t move an inch.
He instinctively shrunk back toward the edge of the bed to hide. Before he could even catch a breath after his back hit the cold bed rail, his ankle was grabbed by Shen Shiyue and he was dragged back into his arms by force.
The corners of Jiang Chenyan’s eyes were red, and physiological tears rolled down. Shen Shiyue leaned over to kiss away that bit of dampness, his tongue brushing over the burning eye corner. “Don’t hide.”
“…”
How could he possibly not hide?
Later, the pain gradually spread, entwining with an unknown numbness that seeped into his skin bit by bit, making his scalp tingle. Jiang Chenyan’s breathing lost its rhythm.
Time was stretched infinitely. He didn’t know how many times they did it. Jiang Chenyan was sunken in heavy exhaustion, his consciousness blurred beyond recognition. He only felt that his whole body had lost its strength, and his bones were about to fall apart.
A blinding white light flashed before his eyes, fragmented and piercing. His head was dizzy and floating, and his body felt as light as if it had no weight. He almost mistakenly thought he was about to ascend.
In his haze, he felt the warm rim of a cup against his lips. Soft finger pads pressed against Jiang Chenyan’s cheek as he was carefully fed warm water. The warmth spread down his throat and into his chest, dispelling some of the dryness.
“Cough, cough…”
Jiang Chenyan was choked. The next second, a large palm lightly patted his back.
After drinking the water, Jiang Chenyan fell back asleep.
The Mandrake pheromones spread gently, winding through Jiang Chenyan’s nerves thread by thread, stroking away the remaining pain over and over, steadily comforting his trembling, spasming body.
Shen Shiyue leaned down and picked up the limp Jiang Chenyan in a horizontal carry, taking him to do a simple cleaning to wash away the stickiness.
His fingertips traced the light red gland mark on the back of the neck, and the possessiveness in his eyes overflowed.
From now on, this person completely belonged to him.
It wasn’t until the daylight of the next day spread across the floor-to-ceiling windows that Jiang Chenyan slowly woke up. Before his eyes was a handsome, cold face.
Warm breath brushed against Jiang Chenyan’s forehead. His brain was like a rusted gear, stuck and unable to turn. He stared blankly for several seconds.
Before he could process the situation, a warm palm suddenly covered his waist. Shen Shiyue reached out with a long arm, pulling Jiang Chenyan directly into his arms. His chin rested on the other’s soft hair as he coaxed in a low voice, “En, sleep a bit longer. It’s still early.”
Jiang Chenyan’s brain cleared up a bit, and he remembered how absurd they had been last night.
He reached out to touch the light-brain on the nightstand. The moment the screen lit up, he instinctively squinted. “It’s already afternoon…”
His bones felt as if they had been dismantled and reassembled, feeling sore and heavy. Jiang Chenyan moved his fingertips and found he didn’t even have the strength to sit up. He simply gave up struggling and shrunk back into Shen Shiyue’s arms, curling up in a comfortable position.
So, when Shen Shiyue lowered his head, lightly kissed the tip of his ear, and his tongue brushed against the fair skin as if by accident, Jiang Chenyan finally aimed a kick at him.
The force of this kick was light and airy. Just as it touched Shen Shiyue’s side, his ankle was firmly caught.
Just as Shen Shiyue pressed Jiang Chenyan down, Jiang Chenyan kicked him again. “Don’t go into heat.”
Shen Shiyue let out a low laugh, carrying a sense of comfort. He only gave a light “En” in response.
He settled down.
He simply held the person firmly in his arms, his breath falling among Jiang Chenyan’s hair.
Jiang Chenyan wanted to prop himself up to sit for a while, but his arms were too weak. He simply followed the force and burrowed into Shen Shiyue’s arms, sitting steadily between Shen Shiyue’s legs. From time to time, his back was lightly stroked by a large palm.
He raised his hand and tapped open his light-brain. His fingertips swiped across the message interface, and at a glance, he saw several messages from Kai Lan. He lightly tapped the screen and began chatting with him.
Halfway through the chat, Jiang Chenyan’s fingertips suddenly paused. He frowned as a neglected point of doubt popped into his mind.
How did Walter know the news that he was still alive?
Or rather, who had tipped Walter off?
Besides Kai Lan and Shen Shiyue, no one else knew he was alive. But these two would never betray him.
Jiang Chenyan’s fingertips paused on the screen. He thought of Mo Qingyu. Mo Qingyu had been by Walter’s side for a long time; perhaps he was hiding some clues. He immediately sent a message over.
Mo Qingyu replied very quickly:
[Now that you mention it, I remember. A youth did look for Walter before. However, Walter intentionally sent me outside the door. I didn’t hear a single word of what was said inside…]
“A youth?”
A few seconds later, Mo Qingyu sent another:
[It was an Omega. I felt something was wrong at the time, so I secretly took a photo. I’ll send it to you.]
Jiang Chenyan replied, “Okay.”
Who could it be?
The moment the image finished loading, the thin and somewhat haggard face of Bai Ning on the screen hit his eyes. Jiang Chenyan froze.
Since the message interface was lit right before them, Shen Shiyue naturally saw that face as well. The aura around him turned cold. His fingers were hooked around Jiang Chenyan’s waist as he asked nonchalantly, “Do you want me to handle him?”
Jiang Chenyan didn’t respond. He was wondering—he clearly hadn’t shown his true face. How did Bai Ning recognize him at a glance?
