The red rays of the setting sun spilled in through the window. Just like how a person feels the strongest right before their death, these rays were similarly especially bright. It was as if the sun wanted to present a false sense of peace right before it completely disappeared beyond the horizon.
Cast in the setting sun’s bright light, Ji Xinglan was sitting on the couch in the living room and playing with his terminal.
Sitting motionless with his long legs casually folded together, slightly long hair curling naturally below his ears, forming a perfect arc, and head bowed over the terminal, made him look like a statue.
While Ji Xinglan was not on guard, the kitten sneakily jumped on the other end of the couch. It quietly snuck close, using the cushions as its cover. It crouched near Ji Xinglan like a predator.
Ji Xinglan sat unmoving on the couch, seemingly unaware of its plans to ambush him.
Encouraged, Lan Lan approached slowly. With a sudden fierce cry, it jumped on Ji Xinglan like lightning.
But before it could land on Ji Xinglan and scare him, a hand had already caught it.
The captured kitten twisted its body and pretended to bite his finger.
It was only then that Ji Xinglan looked up at it with slight disdain in his eyes.
‘You want to ambush me? Do it in your next life.’
He held the mischievous kitten by the nape and was in the process of teaching it a lesson when, with a click, the bathroom door opened.
Ji Xinglan heard the sound and looked up, only to see Yan Qiu walking slowly into the living room like a corpse. His complexion was really bad.
Ji Xinglan still held the kitten in his hands. If Yan Qiu saw it, he would definitely think that he was bullying the kitten while he was not around. So he quickly placed it on the armrest of the couch and pretended that he had nothing to do with it.
But that wolf in kitten’s clothing was very cunning. It immediately started meowing in aggrievance.
When he heard the meows, Yan Qiu looked at it before he fixed his stare on Ji Xinglan.
Ji Xinglan smiled at him, but nothing about Yan Qiu’s gaze seemed familiar. Instead, what he saw made chills creep down his spine.
Yan Qiu’s complexion was really bad. His beautiful eyes appeared to be filled with barely restrained anger, and it looked like he wanted to hit someone.
With his hands in his pockets, he tried his best to control his emotions and walked over to sit down.
When he saw that the situation was a little off, Ji Xinglan quickly began to recall what he could have done to make Yan Qiu angry.
Puzzled, Ji Xinglan narrowed his eyes in contemplation.
Could it be… that he went overboard in the bathroom this afternoon and Yan Qiu was now angry because of it?
But that should not be. Yan Qiu enjoyed it as well.
Just now, they had been fooling around at the entrance too, so why was he suddenly so angry after he went to the bathroom?
With their own thoughts in their minds, both of them simply looked at each other without saying anything. In the end, Yan Qiu was the one who spoke first.
“Are you hiding something from me?”
His tone was cold, without a hint of warmth in it. It sounded like shards of ice piercing the floor.
It was a berating tone; one he would normally not use.
Ji Xinglan could tell that he was holding back his irritation and anger. A dangerous, active volcano seemed to be bubbling right underneath his expressionless face. If he was even a bit careless, the boiling lava would gush out and burn him to a crisp.
“What’s wrong? Why are you angry all of a sudden?”
Ji Xinglan did not know what had happened, so he thought that he could pacify him easily. He even touched Yan Qiu’s face and wanted to kiss him, thinking about using his looks to quell Yan Qiu’s anger.
“Are you still pretending?!” Yan Qiu slapped his hand away.
Habitually, he was unable to say anything fierce in front of this face, but today was an exception.

Right this very minute, Yan Qiu wanted to pummel this bastard to vent out his anger.

“Kfii wf, ktja lr atlr?!”
The proof of his crime was right in front of him. Yan Qiu wanted to see how he would deny it!
The test strip was a rather stiff piece of paper, like a long and thin noodle, so it was not easily identifiable as a pregnancy test stick.
Ji Xinglan did not know what Yan Qiu had brought out to demand answers from him. So he quickly picked it up to take a look.
When he saw it, he was stunned.
There was a line on the test strip and it was red.
He had seen this sort of paper in the Omega Physiology and Health Guide. It was supposed to show either one red line or two red lines on it. This… should be used to test for pregnancies.
‘Damn it! Yan Qiu knows!’
Ji Xinglan instantly broke out in cold sweat. His movements were as stiff as a machine’s when he placed the test strip back.
He originally wanted to look for a suitable chance to tell Yan Qiu, but Yan Qiu had figured out his lie before he could tell him.
When Yan Qiu saw that he was not saying anything, his anger rushed to the top of his head.
‘What happened to that glib tongue of yours that you used to lie to me?!’
Angry, Yan Qiu grabbed Ji Xinglan and yanked him from the couch.
Ji Xinglan did not know what he wanted. So he just let Yan Qiu drag, pull, and push him until he was outside. By the time he snapped out of his daze, the door had already been slammed shut on his face.
“GET LOST!”
Yan Qiu’s merciless roar came through the door. The echo rang endlessly in the empty corridor.
Yan Qiu made himself a simple dinner. When he went out to throw the trash, he saw the person he absolutely did not want to see for the time being, outside.
Ji Xinglan had been squatting on the stairs and smoking. When he saw Yan Qiu holding the bag of trash, he quickly stood up and took it from his hands like he was trying to butter him up. “Let me.”
When he came back hurriedly from throwing the trash, thinking that he could get back into the apartment again, Yan Qiu had already mercilessly shut the door again.
After throwing away the trash, Yan Qiu held the kitten and sat on the couch and turned on the TV.
He picked a movie he wanted to watch, but couldn’t focus at all.
Compared to the TV, he was more interested in the sounds from outside.
Aside from the initial knocks and the apologies as well as coaxing words, there was no longer any sound from outside the door.
Yan Qiu had already decided to kick Ji Xinglan out so he would absolutely not open the door for him tonight.
That bastard!
Once the movie ended, Yan Qiu got up from the couch and went to boil water in the kitchen. On the way, he looked outside through the keyhole.
The corridor was dark. The voice-activated lights were not on. Yan Qiu could not see anything so he moved away from the door.
Around three hours had passed. The sky was completely dark now. Not knowing when or if Yan Qiu would open the door for him, Ji Xinglan would definitely not be an idiot and wait outside tonight. Most likely, he had gone home or to a hotel to rest.
When Yan Qiu came out of the kitchen with a glass of water, he suddenly heard a loud sneeze. The lights in the corridor lit-up instantly.
With the lights of the stairwell now on, Yan Qiu quickly went to the keyhole to take a look.
He saw a person squatting by the door. Who else could it be but Ji Xinglan?
Without the warm air from the indoor air conditioner and being exposed to the cold weather outside, in only a shirt, pants, and slippers, Ji Xinglan was trembling, squatting by the door. He was smoking a cigarette by himself, giving him a very desolate air.
Even though Ji Xinglan was squatting at the entrance dejectedly and could not go home right now, he did not look like a homeless person. He looked more like a wandering artist instead.
Ji Xinglan rubbed his cold arms and quietly brought out his cigarette pack from his pocket to light up another cigarette.
‘It’s over. Yan Qiu definitely won’t open the door for me tonight.’
When Yan Qiu opened the door tomorrow morning, he was going to see a dead body.
Yet before he finished smoking, much to his surprise, the shut door in front of him opened.
Yan Qiu stared down at the person at the entrance and he said coldly, “Get in.”
Yan Qiu brought a keyboard from the study and tossed it on the floor brusquely. He indicated with his tilted chin in an aloof manner, “Kneel!”
Ji Xinglan was finally able to enter the apartment, so he quickly knelt on the keyboard and hugged Yan Qiu’s thighs to apologize to him sincerely.
“…I’m sorry babe. I was just worried that if I didn’t say that, you would definitely cast me aside and leave.” There was a pleading look in his eyes. “I was originally going to tell you, but I couldn’t find the right time…”
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Qiu scornfully flung his hands away, and the anger that had been accumulating for a long time, exploded.
“Ji Xinglan, aren’t you friggin’ amazing?! You lied to me about me being pregnant! I can’t believe that you actually thought of that!”
It had been a long time since Yan Qiu had yelled at someone. Right now he was too angry to care about his language and simply started cussing.
All he could think about was that this person had lied to him.
He lied to him right from the start and had deceived him for such a long time.
He tricked him into thinking that he was pregnant and he used this to make him stay.
How could Ji Xinglan take advantage of him like this?!
Yan Qiu sucked in a deep breath. “Then, let me ask you something – Why?”
“Xiao Qiu, don’t be angry, I—”
“Enough with the crap. Why did you lie to me?”
Ji Xinglan remained silent for a while before he forced these words out of his mouth. “…I didn’t want you to go.”
‘Didn’t want me to go?’
Yan Qiu shut his eyes, his heart was in a mess.
Even though he already knew it, it was just different when Ji Xinglan admitted it himself.
“Are you sick in the head? Didn’t you hear me when I said that I like you? Why would I leave?” Yan Qiu was so angry he could laugh. “I dated you, I let you have sex with me and mark me. Why didn’t you tell me the truth when we got together?”
Ji Xinglan gulped before he answered honestly, “Because of your estrus period.”
“Estrus… period?” Yan Qiu remembered their first time and he scowled immediately. “Oh! It’s because you wanted to enjoy sleeping with me, right? Ji Xinglan, did you friggin’ toss your morals out the window just to sleep with me?”
Right now, his heart hurt. It hurt a lot.
This bastard really did everything he could just to have sex with him!
Could he even be considered to like him then?! All he ever wanted was his body! He went after the fact that he could not use inhibitors and hence did whatever he wanted when he was powerless!
Bah, how disgusting!
Yan Qiu felt like an idiot for being led around so easily.
In his anger, he grabbed a pillow and threw it at Ji Xinglan, and shouted, “Fine, you win. Get lost!”
But Ji Xinglan just stood there unmoving and stared at him wide eyed. A thought came into his head and aloofly Yan Qiu said, “Right, this is your apartment. I’ll get lost then.”
He looked really resolute. He simply picked up the dumbstruck kitten, then bent down to wear his shoes.
Only then did he realize that he might have said these words out of anger, but it was already dark outside. So where was he supposed to go?
Yan Qiu was at a loss..
Should he go to Xie Yu’s house? He was an omega, he couldn’t go to an alpha’s house to stay overnight. What would Xie Yu’s mother say?
Meanwhile, when Ji Xinglan saw that Yan Qiu was insistent on leaving him while taking only the kitten, he instantly descended into madness.
Yan Qiu had never before said that he wanted to leave. He had said that they would always be together.
Being angry and intent on leaving, and with his back turned to him, Yan Qiu missed the change of expressions on Ji Xinglan’s face. Before he could open the door fully and step out, he was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder.
Yan Qiu lost his balance and crashed into the shoe cabinet. The things on it clattered on the floor. Ji Xinglan slammed the door shut. “You can’t leave!”
Yan Qiu steadied himself by placing his elbow on the shoe cabinet. He scowled and wanted to yell at Ji Xinglan, but before he could say anything, Ji Xinglan’s eyes became red. He unreasonably drew close to kiss him.
“Mmph…?” Yan Qiu felt Ji Xinglan forcefully sucking and biting his lips, drawing blood.
But it wasn’t just this contrary and predatory behavior, Yan Qiu could feel Ji Xinglan’s alpha pheromones gushing out madly and enveloping him firmly, rendering him unable to escape.
However, these pheromones were different from the usual. While surrounded by the thick fragrance of cedar, Yan Qiu sensed an abnormal, never experienced before feeling, rising slowly from the bottom of his heart. It felt like he was floating on the clouds. The sense of pleasure received by the brain numbed each and every nerve of his.
When he registered what happened, he cussed in his mind. This was definitely not normal Alpha suppression using pheromones!
Yan Qiu was shocked, but his body was already limp as wet mud. If he did not lean against the wall, he would not be able to even stand straight.
…He realized what Ji Xinglan was doing to him – he was forcing him to go into heat.
Both of them were at a stalemate at the entrance. Ji Xinglan did not touch him, but he did not even need to do anything. His pheromones alone were making Yan Qiu crumble.
His arms fell to his side limply. When Yan Qiu slid down and gasped for breath, the kitten in his hand fell to the floor as well.
He leaned against the wall and tried to breathe from his red, moist, shiny lips. The corners of his eyes had also turned red.
Yan Qiu moved his lips, as if wanting to cuss Ji Xinglan, but he did not have the strength to even speak. His skin burned and his vision gradually blurred too. He knew this feeling. It was an incredibly embarrassing feeling that signified the arrival of his estrus period.
Ji Xinglan squatted down in front of him and gently brushed his fringe up. He placed a kiss on his smooth forehead and began unbuttoning his shirt, one button at a time. “Don’t leave. Can’t you just talk to me?”
Yan Qiu could not fight back and neither could he speak. He could only glare at him.
‘Right back at you! Can’t you just talk to me?! Must you go straight to R-18 stuff?!’
Since the effects of estrus periods caused by alphas came really fast, his pheromones were greatly affected. Yan Qiu felt his throat becoming dry. His body went limp and burned badly.
His vision went from blurry to completely dark. Yan Qiu could now only use his senses to tell that Ji Xinglan had used his hand to cushion his head before kissing him. Then he picked up Yan Qiu and turned to go back to their room.
As he sank into the bed and right before he lost consciousness completely, Yan Qiu felt Ji Xinglan’s burning skin and heard his murmurs.
Ji Xinglan wet Yan Qiu’s lips and kissed him gently. There was no hiding the longing mixed with dark obsession in his eyes. “Yan Qiu, I’m sorry, but no matter what, I won’t let you leave my side. I’ll make it up to you however you want, alright?”
‘I want you to let me go!’ Yan Qiu shouted in his mind as he shed imaginary tears.
Even though unseeing, he could feel Ji Xinglan’s gaze sending chills down his spine. Yan Qiu finally understood what Mrs. Ji meant when she asked him to pay more attention to Ji Xinglan’s mental state.
Ji Xinglan was obsessed with him. Since something like this happened, there was no way he would not go crazy.
But no matter what he said now, it was too late. Yan Qiu did not know what Ji Xinglan would do to him or would he be marked permanently. But no matter what, he could not run away from this.
When he felt Ji Xinglan’s face drawing closer to him, the paralyzed Yan Qiu felt embarrassed and angry. Since he had no strength, he could only cuss in his heart.
‘What the heck?!
‘I’ll elope with you, happy?!
‘Help! Ji Xinglan, let me go, damn it!’
Author: Silly Yan Qiu, you could have solved everything if you asked him to sleep on the couch for a week.
Mogumoguchan: I’m going to be pissed if Yan Qiu doesn’t hit him.
Sarcasm: This is not the way to treat someone you claim to love…
Oh no D:
Well damn.
Mental problem?! Is that an excuse for what he’s doing now… Ooh gosh and that dumb Yan qiu don’t you dare forgive him so easily
Thanks for the chapter ♥️ ♥️
Given that jxl bought his own grave site beside yq before, obsession and being mentally unstable is a given.
Forgot about that!
Thanks for the chapter ne~
JX loves him too much and he lost him once and losing him once again will caused him to go mad. Still I hope they can settled it in a better way
Oh god… he’s pretty unstable… maybe try some therapy? Or just don’t rape your partner… maybe have a mature conversation…
JX, you could have just cried and begged him while saying “please don’t leave me again”. That would have worked so much better.
And for YQ, say that you’ll hate him forever if JX touches you. That should make him at least paused for a time.
These two really need to say some boundaries.
It’s very sad. Thanks for the chapter!😪
oh shit.
Sad, just sad!
Yet another example of why I don’t like JXL! I agree, this is NOT the way you treat someone you claim to love! I wish Yan Qiu was still an alpha so he wouldn’t be helpless to JXL’s pheromones!
Poor Yan
Thanks for the chapter 🥰🥰
People are still expecting rational thinking from JXL when faced with YQ wanting to leave? What part of ‘he has serious mental problems’ was not clear? Anywho, poor YQ being faced with the crazy.. I hope he doesn’t actually do anything to you. And poor JXL, your parents should have gotten you the professional help you desperately need.
Mental health problems are serious guys, be sure to take good care of yours.
That said, YQ’s fascination and affections for him is also quite worrying. I hope he at least flares up at JXL this time.
Nah. If JXL did not resort to madness after hearing YQ leaving then its not JXL anymore. The guy even tried to kill himself and bought the grave next to YQ 🙆. Its fear of lossing the person again that pushed him to do things he shouldn’t do. His brain and heart is clouded by fear that he fail to realize what a bad thing he is doing.
Still, I don’t agree with ‘you can make him sleep in the couch for 1week’ coz JXL had a chance to tell YQ but MF choose to lie and lie 🥲. YQ’s anger is valid.
Anyway, I want my LCY and XY 😭
OH SNAP!!!😳😳😳
Ugh. That’s not how you treat your partner.
