When Lu Qingyan received Lin You’s phone call, he had just gotten out of bed, put on a black nightgown, and was lazily standing in the kitchen cooking instant noodles.
He was only 17 this year, but his height had exceeded 185cm. The golden sunshine was shining through the kitchen window and onto him. His black nightgown was messily fastened, revealing his faintly visible abs and wheat-colored skin. Even though he was yawning and cooking instant noodles, he looked like he was posing for a photo shoot in a studio.
When he received Lin You’s phone call, he didn’t think much at first. He even assumed it was an invitation to play basketball. He was about to tell Lin You to wait for a bit longer when he heard Lin You weakly say on the other end of the line, “Lao Lu, it’s an emergency. I think I have a fever, I can’t get up. Can you hurry over and take me to the hospital?”
Lu Qingyan couldn’t help but be stunned.
According to his understanding of Lin You, Lu Qingyan knew that if it really wasn’t a serious situation where Lin You couldn’t get up, he would never come to him for help in such a whining tone.
Lu Qingyan immediately turned off the stove and said, “Wait for me.”
Lu Qingyan didn’t even have time to change his clothes. He randomly grabbed a black jacket and put on a pair of jeans before heading out the door. Fortunately, Lin You’s house was just across from his, less than five minutes away.
As Lu Qingyan reached the second floor of Lin You’s house, he caught a whiff of an indescribable fragrance. It was like a floral scent, gentle and soft, and seemed to melt into the air. It unconsciously made him blush and feel warm inside, yet he couldn’t help but want to breathe in more.
If it were an alpha here, they would immediately be able to recognize this as omega pheromones, very strong ones, almost reaching the concentration of an omega in heat.
Unfortunately, Lu Qingyan was a clueless beta. He furrowed his eyebrows, thinking that the air freshener in Lin You’s house was way too sweet.
He quickened his pace and took bigger steps to reach Lin You’s bedroom door. As he pushed open the door, he realized that the scent inside the room was even stronger, almost overwhelming, hitting him in the face as soon as he entered.
As soon as he breathed in, he felt a bit dizzy in the head and his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
He quickly walked to the bed and saw Lin You lying there, wrapped in a blanket like a ball. When he looked down, he was shocked.
Lin You’s entire face was tinged with a touch of pink, his lips were dry but very red, his dark hair stuck to his face from the sweat, and even his eyes were moist.
He was completely curled up in the blanket, but when he saw Lu Qingyan coming in, he didn’t hesitate to reach his hands out of the blanket and signaled for Lu Qingyan to hurry and give him a hand, “Quick, take me to the hospital.”
“How did you get such a high fever?” murmured Lu Qingyan, then dragged Lin You out of the blanket and supported him off the bed.
Lin You was covered in sweat and his body temperature was so abnormally high, who knows why he decided to wrap himself up in the blanket. He only wore a white tee and shorts, revealing his fair wrists and ankles. Paired with his innocent-looking face, he looked several years younger than Lu Qingyan.
Lin You wanted to walk by himself, but the moment his feet touched the floor, his legs turned so weak that he couldn’t stand. Luckily, Lu Qingyan was watching him the whole time and quickly caught him.

Lin You felt hopeless as he leaned on Lu Qingyan’s shoulder. Thinking that, as the legendary “Lin-ge” who ruled over JinNan High School, he couldn’t believe he was now reduced to being princess-carried due to illness. It would surely ruin his reputation if anyone heard.

Lu Qingyan sneered, “You have to have the strength to beat me first.”
The two of them exchanged a few words and came downstairs. The cab was already waiting for them. Lu Qingyan put Lin You in the back seat first before getting in himself.
“Mister, to the No. 1 Hospital please.”
After shutting the door of the car, Lu Qingyan realized that the lingering flowery fragrance had also filled the car. It seemed to be emanating from Lin You. He couldn’t help but move closer to Lin You and sniffed, frowning as he asked, “You put on perfume?”
Lin You rolled his eyes at him, “Perfume, my ass.”
The driver, a beta in his forties, sniffed a glance at the back. He had noticed earlier before they got into the car, that the young man in the white tee was an omega who was nearing his heat cycle. He really couldn’t understand the youngsters nowadays, not taking suppressants during their heat cycles and even out running around like this.
Fortunately, he was a beta, so he didn’t feel any strong impulses upon smelling the omega’s pheromones. If he had been an alpha, it would’ve been hard to say what could’ve happened.
With this in mind, the driver kindly spoke up and reminded him, “Young man, are you going to the hospital because you ran out of suppressants? Next time, you can’t just run out without taking any measures. It’s too dangerous.”
Lin You and Lu Qingyan looked up together in confusion.
Suppressants?
Isn’t that something only omegas need?
“Mister, you’re mistaken. I came to the hospital because of a fever. We’re both betas, why would we need any suppressants?” Lin You leaned against Lu Qingyan’s shoulder and answered weakly.
Both he and Lu Qingyan were identified as betas from birth. It was just that his fair and delicate facial features often led to mistaken assumptions that he was an omega, but Lin You had grown accustomed to it.
The driver looked at the two of them strangely.
The car was filled with the scent of pheromones, how can he be a beta? Such a young man, yet he already knew to lie, though it wasn’t convincing at all.
Fortunately, they soon arrived at the No. 1 Hospital. Lu Qingyan quickly paid the fare and carried Lin You out of the car.
Lu Qingyan registered at the emergency department, and they were considered lucky because there weren’t many people in the hospital today, so they were quickly seen.
However, while Lu Qingyan was holding Lin You in his arms and waiting outside, he noticed that several young men and women kept looking in his direction, and they all seemed to be alphas. They wore desperate and yearning expressions on their faces, seemingly to be whispering among themselves as they stare at the Lin You in his arms.
Lu Qingyan instinctively felt a bit unhappy and wrapped Lin You in his black jacket, not letting other people see him.
Lin You’s face became redder and redder. As Lin You nuzzled against Lu Qingyan’s neck, the breaths he exhaled were hot, like a tickling feather, making Lu Qingyan feel a little uneasy. But when he thought that it was Lin You, he didn’t mind it too much.
Five minutes later, it was Lin You’s turn to go in.
Lin You’s legs were still weak and he couldn’t stand up. Despite his protests, Lu Qingyan directly carried him into the emergency room.
The doctor in the emergency room was a young man. He glanced at Lin You and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. He was about to say something like why wasn’t he taking any measures during his heat cycle, but then he heard Lu Qingyan say, “Doctor, he has a high fever, a real bad one.”
Then the doctor looked at Lin You’s medical card and saw that the gender column was filled in as “Male Beta” with an age of 17.
The doctor suddenly had a guess in his mind.
“Wait,” he took out a detector from the cabinet and beckoned to Lin You, “extend your finger.”
Lin You obediently extended his hand and had his finger pricked by the detector, which collected a drop of fresh blood, turning the display light to red.
Lin You was caught off guard by the finger prick and his expression twisted in pain.
Lu Qingyan watched the whole process, which didn’t seem like he was measuring his temperature at all. He couldn’t help feeling nervous and asked, “Doctor, what’s going on? Isn’t he just having a fever?”
“He’s not having a fever. He’s presenting right now and has fever-like symptoms,” the doctor replied calmly, putting the detector aside and contacting his colleagues upstairs to come and take Lin You away. He then explained to the two bewildered young men, “He’s no beta at all, but an omega who presented very late. Although this is rare, it’s not unheard of. Just stay calm, I’m transferring him to the Omega Center upstairs. They’ll come down to pick him up soon. You two can wait here.”
Seeing Lin You’s bewildered expression, the doctor kindly reassured him, “Don’t be nervous. omegas with a late presenting age usually have excellent pheromone levels, it’s a good thing. Moreover, with your boyfriend here to comfort you with his alpha pheromones, it’ll also make things easier for you.”
There were so many things wrong with the doctor’s words that he didn’t even know where to start complaining.
The genders of alpha, beta, and omega were all identifiable at birth, and only a small minority might experience a secondary presentation at age 14. Lin You still had this bit of common sense.
Lin You was already 17 and had long passed the latest presenting age. How could he suddenly present as an omega?
Lin You silently pinched the flesh on Lu Qingyan’s arm, and this time it was Lu Qingyan’s turn to twist in pain.
“Doctor, I really am a beta. I was identified as one at birth,” Lin You explained to the doctor stubbornly. “And this person next to me is neither my boyfriend nor an alpha. He’s also a beta like me.”
The doctor looked at Lu Qingyan with some surprise. Even sitting in the chair, he could tell that this young man had broad shoulders, long legs, a height far above the average for his age, and features that were very aggressively handsome. He was like a lazy leopard, seemingly quiet, and his danger concealed. So he subconsciously assumed Lu Qingyan was an alpha.
But he turned out to be a beta.
After looking at Lin You who was pretty much leaning on Lu Qingyan, the doctor took out a new detector and said to Lu Qingyan, “You might as well test yourself too.”
Lu Qingyan, “…”
But he still obediently held out his hand.
The detector collected a drop of blood from Lu Qingyan’s finger, and Lin You curiously raised his eyes to see. The display light on the detector turned green with a beep.
The doctor was somewhat disappointed for some reason.
“He’s indeed a beta,” the doctor nodded and confirmed Lu Qingyan’s gender, then looked at Lin You again, “But you, are indeed an omega.”
As soon as the voice fell, the door of the emergency room was knocked, and several figures in light blue uniforms came in, asking, “Is there a newly presented omega here?”
The doctor pointed at Lin You and said, “Here, 17 years old, male.”
Lin You raised his head in a daze. Before he could speak, several medical staff put him on a stretcher, sprayed a cool liquid on the back of his neck, and inserted a pill into his mouth.
“Who’s the guardian?” the medical staff asked again, seeing that there was only Lu Qingyan there, they asked him, “Are you the accompanying person?”
“I’m his older brother.” Lu Qingyan stood up, a head taller than the medical staff, looking quite reliable. “You can just talk to me.”
Lin You on the stretcher secretly gave Lu Qingyan a middle finger.
Pretending to be my older brother again, I’ll remember this.
Okay, this is a good start~
Let’s see until when can Lu Qingyan pretend to be the brother😆😆😅
