Chapter 17 – Dangerous Move
Shen Yan was an Omega!
Shen Yan was an Omega!!
Shen Yan was an Omega!!!
Gu Zhuoran was so agitated he could barely control his own pheromones.
His hands were trembling, his heart was racing, and his breathing was incredibly ragged.
It was only at this moment that Gu Zhuoran truly realized the significance this event held for him.
Everything that had been suppressed in the depths of his heart for years suddenly surged out like an explosion.
Hideous, dark emotions stained the depths of his eyes, causing a thick, dark red to flicker within his icy-blue gaze.
He glanced slightly to the side, looking at Shen Yan in the room without leaving a trace, instantly suppressing all his emotions.
To distract himself, Gu Zhuoran began to focus on the food.
However, a single thought had already taken deep root and sprouted in his heart.
Completely unaware of how crazed and terrifying his friend’s inner thoughts were just a few meters away, Shen Yan’s dejected mood was slowly replaced by hunger. He rubbed his stomach, which was aching from emptiness, and peeked toward the kitchen.
He saw the tall, slender boy skillfully moving back and forth in the kitchen, and the fragrance of food slowly drifted through the room.
“What are you making? It smells so good,” Shen Yan said, stretching his neck to look.
“Fish porridge,” Gu Zhuoran replied gently, looking back.
“Hey, those fish slices were bought by my mom for the New Year!” Shen Yan exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing this, Gu Zhuoran didn’t stop his hands, only pursing his lips with a smile. “There are still six months until the New Year; it’s a long way off. This stuff will go bad.”
“Who says? My mom said she wanted to pickle them,” Shen Yan said, quickly scrambling off the bed and rushing into the kitchen.
Unfortunately, by the time he rushed over, the fish slices had already been tossed into the pot by Gu Zhuoran to simmer.
“…” Shen Yan looked at Gu Zhuoran, speechless.
“I’ll turn myself in when Meng-yi gets back,” Gu Zhuoran said, turning his head and speaking submissively.
“Tch, you’ve basically calculated that my mom won’t do anything to you, haven’t you!” Shen Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Gu Zhuoran gave a small smile—one that was extremely gentle and harmless, a face full of pleasing weakness.
Shen Yan couldn’t be bothered to deal with him and turned his attention to the fish porridge in the pot, quickly distracted by the food.
“Is it ready to eat?” Shen Yan asked, sniffing the aroma.
“Almost, just a little longer.” Gu Zhuoran covered the pot and pushed Shen Yan back into the room.
The two sat in Shen Yan’s small room, waiting for the porridge while pondering what to do next.
“When do you plan on telling Meng-yi?” Gu Zhuoran asked.
“I’m not telling her yet,” Shen Yan said immediately.
Gu Zhuoran had long anticipated this result, so he silently looked at Shen Yan, not speaking for a while.
After a moment, he asked cautiously, “How long do you plan to hide it…”
Shen Yan frowned and said, “Hide it until we pass the Tongkao and enter the Shangcheng Qu.”
Clatter!
Gu Zhuoran accidentally knocked over the cup beside his hand, and it fell to the floor, rolling to the side.
The room suddenly fell silent, and Gu Zhuoran looked at Shen Yan in disbelief.
What did he just hear?
Shen Yan, who was now an Omega, still wanted to participate in the Tongkao?
“You’re crazy!” Gu Zhuoran suddenly gripped Shen Yan’s shoulders, his strength so great that Shen Yan let out a sharp cry of pain.
“Hss… what the hell are you so excited about? Lighten up!” Shen Yan tried to push him away but found he couldn’t move him. Startled, he switched to his foot and kicked the guy away.
Gu Zhuoran wasn’t on guard against Shen Yan; this kick hit its mark perfectly, and he knelt down, clutching his abdomen.
“Brat, you’re pretty arrogant, aren’t you? Think I can’t beat you up just because I presented as an Omega?” Shen Yan scoffed lightly, his foot still arrogantly stepped onto Gu Zhuoran’s shoulder.
But he would never have imagined that from Gu Zhuoran’s perspective, this supposedly arrogant posture was actually filled with a sense of temptation. Because he had been covered in sweat earlier, Gu Zhuoran had helped him take off his outer clothes, so he was currently only wearing his undergarments.
And Shen Yan’s movement revealed a hint of hidden skin…
Author’s Note: Hugs to all you dear great ones, there’s still an update today~~ Wishing everyone happy reading, Miao Miao is heading out early again~ Love you all~
[Mini Theater: This kind of posture is acceptable~]
Yan: Brat, you’re pretty arrogant~~ Think I can’t beat you up just because I presented as an Omega?!
Shen Yan kicked him hard, then waited a while only to find that the kicked Gu Zhuoran didn’t get up.
Yan: It’s not that bad, right? You can’t even get up from that?
Gu Zhuoran huddled there, secretly peeking at that fair, tender skin~
Mr. Gu: …Yan, just stay in this posture, okay? I don’t want to get up!
Yan: … (Suddenly realizing something, quickly retracts his foot and leans back~)
Mr. Gu: What a pity…
Yan: Pity your sister~ Get lost!
Translator’s Note:

- Tongkao: The Unified Examination.
- Shangcheng Qu: Upper City District.
