Chapter 48: Rampage
[Oh my god, Han He’an is actually that kind of person.]
[Just finished reading the PDF, stopping by to spit on him.]
[No wonder Ruan Zhimian broke up with him, what a scumbag.]
[Hehe, you guys talk about Ruan Zhimian like he’s such a good person. Didn’t he cheat with Shi He? He’s no saint either.]
[Some people seriously feel bad for Han He’an after reading that? Unbelievable.]
[I’m done. Who let Han He’an’s delusional fanboys in here?]
[If you like Han He’an that much, you can go to prison and serve time with him in the future.]
[Good roast.]
Ruan Zhimian looked at the lively hundred-person group chat and put his phone away.
Sitting with Shi He in a car parked not far from the entrance of the Han manor, he could clearly see through the window glass as Han He’an, once surrounded by a crowd like stars orbiting the moon, fell from grace and was taken away by the police for investigation in front of everyone.
Ruan Zhimian had enthusiastically invited reporters, who were currently snapping photos left and right from a distance.
Before long, every major news media outlet would be broadcasting this piece of news.
Han He’an’s gaze swept around. Before stepping into the police car, his eyes locked onto Ruan Zhimian’s car, looking exceptionally venomous and ruthless.
Ruan Zhimian, I won’t let you off.
Yin Feng, protected by people dispatched by the Ruan family, went along to the police station to give a statement.
Within an hour, developments moved at lightning speed.
Ruan Zhimian didn’t linger. He had the driver take him back to Shi He’s apartment, calling his parents first to explain everything clearly.
Both Ruan Jiarong and Chen Ji were extremely protective. Even though they had arranged for people to follow him the entire time, hearing their precious darling obediently report back to them melted the harshness in their eyes into pure tenderness.
“Our darling did well.”
“Leave the rest to us.”
Ruan Zhimian reluctantly put away his phone. His small face drooped, his dark eyes stinging with unshed tears. He stared at the screen for a long time before finally looking up. Only one last thing remained.
“Shi He, are you thirsty?”
Ruan Zhimian picked up the mineral water bottle beside him and handed it to Shi He naturally. He unscrewed another bottle, tilted his head back, and took a large gulp.
The medicinal powder Qiuqiu had retrieved from the system space was colorless and odorless.
Once Shi He passed out, Ruan Zhimian would leave this place.
Dressed in a modern Chinese-style suit, the aloof Alpha lowered his cold, dark eyes. Holding the water bottle in his left hand, he gently unscrewed it and took two sips. “Do you have any plans for the future?”
This question was no different from asking, “Will you be with me?”
“I want to rest for a while first.”
Ruan Zhimian chose a third kind of answer. Moving from where he leaned against the back of the seat, he shifted his shoulders toward Shi He, resting his cheek gently against Shi He’s left arm. His soft, dark eyes radiated compliance, completely indistinguishable from usual.
He closed his eyes, hiding the reluctance he felt.
“Shi He, I’m so tired.”
Shi He felt something was slightly off, but Ruan Zhimian’s sudden initiative to draw close delayed his sharp judgment. The boy turned and pillowed his head on Shi He’s lap, his breathing soft and slow, wrapping his two arms around Shi He’s arm in an incredibly obedient manner.
Is baby acting spoiled?
Shi He recalled the little white cat he brought home yesterday, which had similarly wrapped its paws around his finger and meowed non-stop.
Or was he feeling sad about calling off the engagement with Han He’an?
Han He’an and Ruan Zhimian had been together for three years, whereas he and Ruan Zhimian had known each other for less than three months.
The Alpha’s cold, deep cologne drifted into his nose. His phoenix eyes drooped, his pale finger pad pressing against the boy’s jaw, lightly stroking it. His voice was incredibly low, as if murmuring to himself, “Baby, forget about him, okay?”
Ruan Zhimian opened his eyes in a slight daze, bloodshot lines visible in his dark gaze. “Who?”
Shi He lowered his head, his pitch-black eyes like a dark cloud enveloping Ruan Zhimian. On the back of the Alpha’s pale hand, dark blue veins protruded slightly as he suppressed his emotions. “Are you feeling sad for him?”
“I’m not…”
Before Ruan Zhimian could finish answering, Shi He leaned down to kiss him, as if refusing to let him utter another word. Their fingers were locked tightly together, fully pinning him down.
He didn’t want to hear it, nor did he want to listen.
“Baby.”
The physical baseline between an S-grade Alpha and a Beta was indeed like heaven and earth; he couldn’t break free at all.
“You’re not allowed to think about him anymore. You can only think of me.”
In the air, the faint concentration of Alpha amber pheromones continuously rose. The effect of the drug kept mounting. As a Beta, Ruan Zhimian had completely miscalculated the danger.
By the time the vehicle parked in the underground garage of Shi He’s apartment, the corners of Ruan Zhimian’s eyes were flushed crimson from the kissing.
Ruan Zhimian was still wondering why Shi He hadn’t passed out yet; he felt like he was about to pass out himself.
The driver up front discreetly got out of the car. Ruan Zhimian extended his arms, his vision slowly focusing. He gently wrapped his arms around Shi He’s neck, actively burying himself against Shi He’s shoulder to act soft, his earlobes completely flushed.
The young master’s voice was soft and sweet. “We’re going… home, Shi He.”
The Alpha pulled the car door open, his cold, deep irises flashing with a dangerous light. He scooped Ruan Zhimian up with one arm to get out of the car. Stepping out with his long legs, the black modern Chinese-style suit made him look exceptionally handsome, like a presence walking out of a movie screen.
He lowered his head, pressing his forehead against Ruan Zhimian’s. “Baby, let’s go home.”
It seemed a shred of sanity still remained.
The elevator ascended steadily. Ruan Zhimian hid almost his entire face in Shi He’s embrace. He felt a bit embarrassed and was utterly baffled as to why things had suddenly escalated to this point.
Fortunately, no one boarded the elevator along the way.
Shi He carried Ruan Zhimian into the apartment, unlocking the digital door with his fingerprint.
Ruan Zhimian held onto the shoe cabinet to steady himself. Watching Shi He lean down to help him put on his little rabbit slippers, he absolutely refused to let himself be kissed again, murmuring softly, “Shi He, I’m a little hungry.”
“Do you want to eat bread?”
“Mhm!”
Shi He went to heat up the cheese bread, his gaze never wavering from him for a second.
Ruan Zhimian didn’t stand a chance to escape. He naturally pulled open a drawer and retrieved Shi He’s suppressants, handing them over. “Shi He, has your susceptibility period… not passed yet?”
Is the dosage not strong enough? Why isn’t Shi He passing out yet…
If I had known, I would have added more.
At this moment, the Alpha was completely different, giving off an incredibly cold aura. His dark eyes swept over the suppressants as he said flatly, “It has passed.”
“Ruan Zhimian, the one I need right now is you.”
By the dining table, Shi He placed a plate in front of Ruan Zhimian. The bread drifted with a sweet, rich aroma, filled with strawberry cream cheese.
Shi He had never liked sweets; the sweet treats were bought specifically for Ruan Zhimian.
Ruan Zhimian picked it up and took a few bites, eating slowly while praying for the drug to kick in faster.
Inside the room, the concentration of the S-grade Alpha’s pheromones reached a level that was impossible to ignore.
Shi He unfastened the pheromone monitoring smartwatch that was buzzing non-stop on his wrist and tossed it onto the table. Right now, he only wanted to look at Ruan Zhimian, hold Ruan Zhimian… and perhaps do things that were even worse.
On the eighth day of Shi He’s Alpha susceptibility period, he entered a state of rampage.
