Yang Huaijin stared at Feng Zhi for a long time without saying a word.
He was very angry because Feng Zhi had deeply marked him without his consent. But he was also very sad because Feng Zhi said, “If I die, this mark will gradually fade away.” Yes, if an Alpha dies, the mark they’ve imprinted on an Omega will also ‘die.’ This is a mysterious phenomenon that no one can explain, and people prefer to give it a romantic definition, calling it a contract for life.
Yang Huaijin raised his palm, as if about to strike, but Feng Zhi lowered his head. “Fine, hit me, however you want. Don’t… don’t be angry.”
The damn thing that needed to be done was done, and everything that needed to be said was said. Seeing Yang Huaijin truly angry, Feng Zhi no longer had the arrogant demeanor he had just now. He looked as if he had been abandoned, with a somewhat dejected and lost expression.
Yang Huaijin lowered his hand and fiercely kicked Feng Zhi: “A-jiu, what’s the difference between you and the person who wanted to forcibly mark me against my will that day?”
“Of course, there’s a difference!”
“What’s the difference?”
“It’s just different! You like me!” Feng Zhi blurted out anxiously, the words coming out before he could think. After saying it, he paused for a moment, then continued smoothly, “You don’t like that Chi Yu. You frown when he approaches you, but you smile when you see me… You agreed to let me mark you.” Feng Zhi leaned closer, grasping Yang Huaijin’s wrist, “A-jin, you like me.”
“Don’t flatter yourself, at most, I just don’t dislike you,” Yang Huaijin struggled, “It’s not like what you said, that I won’t be sent away by them once you’ve marked me for life, it’s just a temporary solution. Let me go.”

If it weren’t for the current situation, Yang Huaijin wouldn’t believe any Alpha’s words of ‘I will protect you, with my life’. In his view, the deep mark has always been a manifestation of an Alpha’s possessiveness over an Omega. After all, in times of peace, in civilized society, humans have long been far from the worries of life and death. The deep mark, besides binding an Omega for life, already imposes minimal restrictions on an Alpha. But in this current situation, Feng Zhi’s deep mark seemed more like a heavy promise — ‘I will protect you with my life.’
People are naturally inclined to seek benefit and avoid harm, but the deep mark establishes an intimate physiological connection between Alpha and Omega. If they encounter danger, physiological impulses will compel the Alpha to risk their life to protect their Omega.
As they were talking, Feng Zhi suddenly jumped up from the bed and stood by the window, listening intently for a moment.
“Someone’s coming,” Feng Zhi said.
Yang Huaijin was surprised and hurriedly started putting on clothes. Having just undergone the marking, he felt weak all over, and his clothes were in a mess. Feng Zhi had just finished putting on his pants and threw on a T-shirt before coming to pull him, “There’s no time, let’s leave this room first.” The scent of pheromones in the room was too strong, and even if they couldn’t avoid detection, they still needed to find another place to hide.
There was a sound of a car outside the door, and they couldn’t use the main gate. Feng Zhi pulled Yang Huaijin, bypassing the stairs and pushing him into the shadow on the side of the stairs.
Yang Huaijin nervously looked towards the door, hastily tidying up his clothes.
Seeing this, Feng Zhi stopped Yang Huaijin’s movements, making his clothes even messier, and kissed him on the lips, whispering against his lips, “Don’t be afraid, leave it to me.”
Although it was somewhat inappropriate, Yang Huaijin’s heart still skipped a beat because of Feng Zhi’s gesture. He stared at the serious side profile of the man in front of him, realizing that he didn’t want to forgive his deception, but couldn’t help feeling drawn to him.
“Don’t make a sound,” Feng Zhi whispered.
Soon, the gate of the villa was opened, and the footsteps of the incoming person were somewhat hurried. Thump, thump, thump, they ran down the stairs to the basement, followed by angry cursing—it was Chen Qi.
Yang Huaijin grabbed Feng Zhi’s arm in fear, silently asking with his eyes, “Should we run?”
Feng Zhi shook his head. “Chen Qi must have brought people with him. We can’t escape.” He took off his own T-shirt and used it to bind Yang Huaijin’s wrists. “Shh—”
Chen Qi emerged from the basement, angrily searching for Feng Zhi. Soon, he heard unusual movements from the shadows of the stairs.
He walked slowly around the stairs and saw a pair of intertwined figures. Yang Huaijin’s hands were tied, pressed against the wall. Feng Zhi held one of Yang Huaijin’s fair wrists high above his head, restraining him, while his other hand was exploring inside the other’s clothes, his lips close to Yang Huaijin’s neck, kissing and teasing.
Feng Zhi stopped his actions and turned around. “Qi-ge, do you have a hobby of watching people do things?”
Chen Qi sneered. “A-jiu, you didn’t handle this matter properly! The two downstairs were almost killed by you. Do you have to spill blood as a sacrifice before you do anything?”
“They dared to touch anything in the bowl, so I spared their lives. That’s all because of your face, Qi-ge.”
“A-jiu, don’t be so arrogant!” Chen Qi roared angrily. “You’re on my turf, beating my people, and you dare to say you’re giving me face? The rules here are clear to everyone. As long as it doesn’t interfere with business, Omegas are fair game! When I asked you to watch someone, did you really think that little bitch was your Omega?”
“I don’t care about the future of this Omega. Now that he’s in my hands, only I can touch him. Anyone else touching what’s in my bowl is asking for death!” Feng Zhi’s face darkened. He released Yang Huaijin with a hint of reluctance in his tone. “However, since Qi-ge has spoken, I won’t touch him anymore. Consider it an apology to Qi-ge. I’ll cover the medical expenses for those two.”
Chen Qi narrowed his eyes. “A-jiu, you’re not falling for this little bitch, are you?”
“I won’t trouble you with what I’m thinking. This Omega is valuable. I won’t ruin Qi-ge’s business.” Feng Zhi turned around, grabbed Yang Huaijin by the shoulder, and lifted him up. “The basement is no longer an option. I’ll find him another room.”
“Why the rush? You’re giving your brother face, and your brother should go along with your wishes, right?” Chen Qi said with a sinister tone. “I heard an Alpha and Omega getting it on is quite thrilling. Looks like you haven’t finished with him yet, huh? How about we have a little fun here and give your gege a taste? Let’s call it quits for today.”
