ko-fi extra chapter for Snow 
Thank you as always❣️
It had been several months since Xu Ze’s last visit. The boxers backstage had been replaced by a new batch of unfamiliar faces. Xu Ze went to the dressing room at the end of the corridor to take a look. The floor was littered with cigarette butts and topsy-turvy wine bottles, while the table was cluttered with strange vials and syringes. The smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs with the various pheromones made Xu Ze frown as a wave of nausea washed over him. He covered his mouth and nose with the back of his hand and turned to head to the manager’s office.
He had smelled those disorderly odors before, but this was the first time he felt like throwing up. Xu Ze couldn’t be sure whether it was because he wasn’t used to it since he hadn’t been here for a long time, or if there was some other reason.
In a strange mood, Xu Ze raised his hand to his stomach. He had even bought a pregnancy test, but it seemed as if he had just now woken up from Chi Jiahan’s words. His expression began to look a little dazed.
After spacing out for a second or two, Xu Ze lowered his hand. He walked up to the door of the manager’s office and knocked a few times.
“Come in.”
It was Tang Feiyi’s voice. Xu Ze opened the door and walked in.
The chair behind the desk was empty; the manager wasn’t there. On the nearby sofa, Tang Feiyi was lounging lazily with a young-looking alpha in his arms.
“It’s so difficult to see you now,” Tang Feiyi took a puff from his cigar and tilted his head to blow on the alpha’s face beside him, “You see, as long as you are thick-skinned and can spread your legs, even if you become a dog at the feet of the powerful, it’s still more comfortable than struggling to make a living.”
The alpha examined Xu Ze’s face, “That would require you to look like this first.”
Xu Ze showed no reaction, no sign of anger or shame at being insulted. He calmly asked, “Why are you looking for me?”
“To discuss your 600,000 in breach of contract damages,” Tang Feiyi’s hand kept touching the alpha’s waist, “Isn’t that too much? Maybe if you come back to wiggle your butt and bark a few times in front of your owner, you might get it easy.”
Xu Ze remained silent. Tang Feiyi glanced at him, “Either that or come here and fight every week like before until the contract is fulfilled. Xu Ze, I’ve already given you face. If other fighters don’t obey, who will be treated as well as you?”
“I won’t fight anymore,” Xu Ze gave his answer without hesitation.
Back when he was backstage, he bumped into Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng pulled Xu Ze aside, seemingly surprised, and anxiously asked, “Seventeen, are you coming back to compete?”
“This place is getting more and more dangerous, there are often fighters dying in the ring. Everyone seems to have gone crazy.” Xiao Feng, who was used to seeing how chaotic the club was, had a deeply frightened expression on his face when he spoke about it, “I don’t think there are any normal people here anymore.”
Xu Ze replied, “Okay, thank you.”
He had no intention of coming back in the first place. The early entrance exams would start soon, and that had been Xu Ze’s default goal all along. Otherwise, he could have dropped out of school early and focused on boxing to make money. When he started his first underground boxing match a few years ago, he warned himself that he would have to escape this kind of life in the future, even if he was so badly beaten that his brain was unable to think.
Now that the opportunity was close, Xu Ze didn’t want to make any mistakes. He could shorten his sleep time to work at the auto repair shop, but he wouldn’t step into the octagon cage again. Xu Ze was well aware that Tang Feiyi’s purpose in bringing him back was solely for revenge. If there truly were more and more fighters dying on the stage, he might be the next one.
Even if that wasn’t the case, Xu Ze couldn’t guarantee what kind of drugs or injections his opponent might take before entering the ring. If the person died during the match in front of everyone, he would be a murderer and there would be no escape.
Tang Feiyi lifted the corners of his mouth into a fake smile, “It seems like you have the confidence now to agree to 600,000 without batting an eye.” He brushed the cigar ash from his lap, “Then we’ll follow the contract. You have one week to pay the damages.”
“Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that no one will come to your house or school to collect the debt.”
Xu Ze didn’t reply. He just opened the door and walked out of the room.
“Letting him go just like that? That’s not like you,” the alpha glanced at the scar on Tang Feiyi’s right wrist.
Tang Feiyi sneered but didn’t say anything.
Xu Ze walked quickly like he was eager to leave the place as soon as possible. The backstage corridor was narrow, and even though he walked on the side, he accidentally bumped into one of the alphas walking beside him.
“Sorry,” Xu Ze apologized in a low voice and was going to continue walking.
“Seventeen?” The other person appeared to be a boxer who had been drinking. He raised his hand to stop Xu Ze, “You’re Seventeen, right?”
Xu Ze looked at him without saying a word.
“I heard you got a new sponsor, but now you’re sneaking back with a tail between your legs?” He leaned toward Xu Ze, reeking of alcohol, “I’ve been wanting to have a go with you for a while to see if you’re as impressive as they say. How about we schedule a match?”
“I don’t have time,” Xu Ze avoided him and didn’t want to get further involved. Lu Heyang’s bodyguards were probably nearby, and Tang Feiyi’s people were everywhere. Xu Ze didn’t want them to get implicated by helping him.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
The other person became irritated by Xu Ze’s attitude and said, “If you don’t have time, then how about now?” Then swung his fist at Xu Ze’s face.

The other fighters were stunned for a second, then threw down the bottles they were holding and rushed toward him. Xu Ze stood his ground without taking a step back. He removed his wristband and stared at them expressionlessly, exuding the fierce determination reminiscent of Seventeen.
The aggressive S-level alpha’s pheromones spread openly, subduing the several drunken alphas until they were having difficulty breathing. Meanwhile, the lights in the backstage suddenly went out. There was a moment of silence before the area filled with loud curses and screams.
Xu Ze assumed that the bodyguards were providing cover. He took advantage of the commotion and darkness to run out without hesitation.
Upon arriving home, Xu Ze cooked a simple bowl of noodles and took a shower after eating. As he exited the bathroom, he took the pregnancy test out of his backpack while drying his hair and read the instructions carefully.
His phone rang; it was Chi Jiahan.
“How was the talk in the Westside? Nothing happened, right?”
“Right.”
“Then are you going back to fight again?!”
“I won’t fight.”
“What terms did you agree to with Tang Feiyi?”
“Pay a little compensation.” Xu Ze said, “It’s okay.”
“Besides lying to me, what else can you do?” Chi Jiahan said coldly.
Xu Ze didn’t know what to say. He got the call before he had prepared a way to hide it from Chi Jiahan, so he couldn’t formulate his words at the moment. He had never been good at lying.
“How much is it exactly?” Chi Jiahan asked.
“600,000.”
Chi Jiahan knew Xu Ze well. As long as Xu Ze had a little money, he would immediately transfer it to the nursing home’s account and leave only a few hundred for living expenses. Asking him to come up with 600,000 out of thin air was unrealistic.
“What’s the deadline?”
Xu Ze replied, “Half a month.”
“I’ll help you figure it out.” Chi Jiahan said, “Don’t worry about it. Just focus on fixing cars.”
“Okay.”
Although Chi Jiahan was puzzled that Xu Ze agreed so easily, he didn’t have time to think too much now. Chi Jiahan added, “Come to the hospital with me tomorrow at noon for a check-up.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Ze instinctively placed his hand on his lower abdomen, paused, then replied, “I bought a pregnancy test.”
“…” Chi Jiahan was struck dumb, “Those things aren’t accurate. I looked it up. Especially alpha pregnancy tests can easily give false results.”
Xu Ze gave a solution after contemplating for a moment, “I’ll take the test several times.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go to the hospital for a check-up, but if the bodyguards followed him, Lu Heyang would undoubtedly find out later.
“You’re nuts!” Chi Jiahan couldn’t help but scold him, “If you’re pregnant, you need to get rid of it right away. How long are you going to put it off? Did Lu Heyang put a spell on you?”
“It has nothing to do with him,” Xu Ze said.
“What do you mean it has nothing to do with him? Can someone get pregnant on their own? I think you’re really pregnant and have pregnancy brain.”
“Don’t be angry.” Xu Ze didn’t know how to persuade Chi Jiahan, “I’ll test it myself first, okay?”
“Who cares about you!” Chi Jiahan hung up in anger.
Xu Ze held his cell phone in silence for a few seconds and sent a text message to Chi Jiahan: Don’t be angry.
Naturally, he didn’t receive a reply. Xu Ze exited the chat and scrolled down. His fingertip lingered on the screen for a moment. Eventually, he clicked on a contact, typed a message, and sent it: I’ve made up my mind.
The other person replied quickly: OK, tomorrow night, first go to the blood test to be matched. Then I will send you the address.
Xu Ze: Okay.
The reason why Xu Ze said the deadline was half a month was because he had no intention of borrowing 600,000 from Chi Jiahan.
Some time ago, an alpha he met at the club suddenly contacted him and asked if he needed money and if he had any plans to sell his pheromones. That was when Xu Ze found out that there was such an industry. The pheromones and blood of S-level AOs were the equivalent of rare resources. Elite families placed great importance on pheromone levels. If their offspring didn’t reach S-level after birth, they would seek out an S-level with the same blood type to catalyze secondary differentiation through blood transfusions and pheromone injections.
Simply put, it meant becoming a blood bag, providing blood and pheromones over a long period of time.
Xu Ze didn’t know that this kind of business existed in the past. If he did, he would have done it last year when he was in dire need of money for the surgery, instead of signing a contract with Tang Feiyi and getting to where he was today. Xu Ze had intended to use it as a backup plan—if one day his grandmother needed a big operation again, at least he would have a way to raise money in a short time.
Xu Ze was well aware of Chi Jiahan’s situation. His father had always ignored him and the most he had done was freeze his bank card. His stepmother kept a close eye on Chi Jiahan’s various accounts and did not allow a single cent of the Chi family’s money to fall into his hands.
Under such circumstances, Xu Ze had no way of borrowing so much money from Chi Jiahan at once.
When he turned the phone off, it was hard to tell whether he felt relieved or worried. He didn’t seem to feel much, but he was used to it. Xu Ze took the pregnancy test and got up to go to the bathroom.
After standing in front of the sink for five minutes, Xu Ze threw the pregnancy test that showed two lines into the trash.
He decided to get another one and test again.
However, as soon as Xu Ze returned to his room to take out a new pregnancy test, there was a knock at the door. Xu Ze froze, then stashed the pregnancy test into his backpack and quickly closed the zipper without thinking.
Xu Ze felt extremely unsettled after barely passing Chi Jiahan’s test. Now, completely unprepared, Lu Heyang knocked on the door. As Xu Ze opened the door, he was still trying to come up with a good excuse, but his head felt like it was filled with paper balls, and he couldn’t think straight.
“Have you had dinner?”
Xu Ze nodded, “Noodles.”
When they arrived in his room, Lu Heyang sat by the desk like before. The backpack was on the desk, and it looked like the zipper wasn’t completely closed. Xu Ze’s heart was racing and his eyes were wandering.
This time, Lu Heyang didn’t ask Xu Ze to sit on his lap. He just raised his head and asked, “Is there something you want to tell me?”
He looked somewhat exhausted and his demeanor wasn’t the same as usual, displaying a cold seriousness. Xu Ze stood aside with his hands hanging down and didn’t look at him. He organized his words in his head and finally said, “I went to the Westside.”
“I know,” Lu Heyang replied.
“Tang Feiyi came to talk to me about the breach of contract. I have to pay some money.”
“How much?”
“…60,000.”
Lu Heyang asked him, “Do I look easy to fool?”
Xu Ze seemed to slump down even more and replied, “You’re not easy to fool.”
“…” Lu Heyang smiled as if he couldn’t reason with him, “How much do you really have to compensate?”
“600,000.”
Lu Heyang nodded, “Can you handle it on your own?”
Relying on selling pheromones alone won’t be enough. When the time came, he would have to borrow a small amount of money from Chi Jiahan, and then ask the manager of the auto repair shop for some wages in advance… Without learning from his past mistakes, Xu Ze said in front of Lu Heyang, “It should be possible.”
“Can you handle it without hurting your body or paying a heavy price?” Lu Heyang asked.
Xu Ze thought Lu Heyang must have learned interrogation techniques at the military academy, advancing step by step to finally hit the nail on the head.
Silence was the answer. Lu Heyang didn’t say anything and just looked at him calmly.
After a while, Xu Ze couldn’t help but extend his hand to Lu Heyang. Lu Heyang hadn’t touched him since he entered the house. In the past, he would more or less hold hands with him, hug or kiss him. But today, there was nothing, and Xu Ze wasn’t used to it.
However, Lu Heyang avoided Xu Ze’s hand and said, “Don’t move yet.”
“…” Xu Ze silently withdrew his hand, hesitated for two seconds, and said, “Don’t be angry.”
This was how he had always dealt with things, making his own decisions, solving his own problems, and bearing the consequences himself. Xu Ze still couldn’t understand why Chi Jiahan or Lu Heyang would get angry about these matters, even though Chi Jiahan had scolded him many times.
So, when Lu Heyang didn’t respond, Xu Ze said, “You can scold me.”
Lu Heyang had such a pleasant voice that his scolding probably wouldn’t sound too unpleasant.
“Why would I scold you?” Lu Heyang seemed a little helpless and extended his hand to Xu Ze, “Come here.”
Xu Ze sat down on Lu Heyang’s lap. Lu Heyang held his waist with one hand and casually placed the other hand on his stomach. Xu Ze tensed up, realizing that there was still something he hadn’t confessed to Lu Heyang.
“The contract you signed with him is illegal and has no legal effect. You don’t have to pay anything.”
Xu Ze had considered this, but what mattered most wasn’t the contract itself, as the entire club operated outside the bounds of the law. What mattered was that Tang Feiyi would use the contracts to exert pressure and force others to abide by his rules.
“If I don’t pay, he’ll send someone to collect the debt,” Xu Ze said.
“Even if you pay 600,000, he won’t let you go. It’s just a waste of money,” Lu Heyang said, “The prep school values the safety of students on campus. If there are random people causing trouble, the school will contact the police directly. Don’t worry about your family, I will arrange some more people.”
“It’s easy to deal with Tang Feiyi, but you can’t deal with him alone. He has many businesses and people behind him. There are things we cannot do ourselves, so we need to let others do them, which can take some time. Just stay away from him and cut off contact. Can you do that?”
These words made Xu Ze realize that the situation was more complex than he thought. While he was thinking, Lu Heyang interrupted him, “Don’t worry about anything else, just tell me if you can do it.”
“I can do it,” Xu Ze wasn’t entirely confident, not relying on himself to solve problems always made him feel uneasy.
Lu Heyang held the side of Xu Ze’s neck and kissed the corner of his mouth, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
Xu Ze slowly looked at him, as if thinking about something, and then asked, “Do you want to do it?”
He had never asked such a question before. Lu Heyang looked at him, “What’s wrong?”
“If you want to do it,” Xu Ze murmured, “can you be more gentle?”
If he didn’t say anything, when they got into bed, Lu Heyang might not pay attention to his request to “be more gentle”.
“Where does it hurt?”
“Nowhere,” Xu Ze replied immediately.
Lu Heyang looked at him for a few seconds and finally said, “Let’s not do it. I’m hungry. Can you cook me some noodles?”
“Sure,” Xu Ze stood up, “You rest first.”
After Xu Ze left the room, Lu Heyang reached out and took the backpack from the table. He knew that Xu Ze had gone to the pharmacy in the Westside. If it was normal medication, Xu Ze would certainly go to the Preparatory School’s infirmary to get it because it was cheaper. He didn’t plan to ask Xu Ze, because he was afraid that Xu Ze would lose sleep due to the excessive guilt of having to tell so many lies in one night.
Xu Ze was an honest person, that’s for sure; honestly doing this and that behind his back, and telling lies honestly. Even if you were married to such a person and slept in the same bed with him, he could hide ten thousand things in his head, and then solve them one by one on his own without changing a thing.
Lu Heyang could only dig through the backpack. Even though it was not right to touch other people’s things—wrong as it may be, Lu Heyang’s movements of pulling the zipper were very decisive.
Xu Ze was staring at the water in the pot that hadn’t boiled yet when Lu Heyang suddenly walked into the kitchen and turned off the gas stove.
Xu Ze was at a loss. Lu Heyang pointed under the stove, “Turn off the gas valve and come with me.”
“What’s wrong?” Xu Ze turned off the valve and asked.
“Nothing,” Lu Heyang said, “Just suspect I’m going to be a father.”
Author’s note:
Lu Heyang, there is still a surprise with two lines in the trash can, u know?
Eh? Is it the author/s who has the power right to set rules in his/her story like it is not possible/impossible for an alpha to be pregnant right?👀
Yes, as omegaverse is fictional, each author can choose the rules. In this novel, alphas have degenerated wombs (this author isn’t the first to come up with the idea). But as the author said there won’t be any pregnancy.
i love these two so much i can cry…😭😭😳😍😍😍
thank you so much for the updates!!!!
Lol I can’t with lu heyang’s answer..
Why are they so cute I love them so much 😍
Thank you for the chapter 😄
But alphas can’t get pregnant in omegaverse, it’s impossible they don’t have womb, only omegas have it 😶 but why not…😆
the author said in the last chapter’s notes that there won’t be any pregnancy in this novel
Yes I read it 🙂 I was surprised at first but I liked the idea of him pregnant 😆
to be frank with you omegaverse doesn’t have a particular set of rules? if you go and search for omegaverse fanfiction there will be different biology for every fanfics so it’s not IMPOSSIBLE it’s just possible in this work bc author made up different biology
Soooo, is he pregnant or not?! Author, you’re killing us here!!!! Lu Heyang’s remarks 😆. I love these two.
Thank you for the translations!
ahhhhh THAT’S. don’t know what to say AHAHAHA aaaaaaah lu heyang…nod nod if it’s not through chi jiahan then it will be through lu heyand that xu ze goes to hospital lmao
