There were a few more knocks on the door, and Xu Juexi stared warily in the direction of the doorway.
But soon there was no more movement outside.
Xu Juexi still felt somewhat uneasy, but rationally he felt that nothing should happen.
He remembered that he was in the mansion of a wealthy family from a novel. Security in such a place shouldn’t be bad, right? It shouldn’t be a place where just anyone could sneak in.
Who could it be?
Could it be a butler with a strange knocking style, or a maid who takes care of the household?
Were they here to wake him up for breakfast? Xu Juexi glanced at the time; it was already nine o’clock, indeed breakfast time for people with regular sleep schedules. If so, wouldn’t it be bad to leave a bad impression on the Gu family on their very first day if he didn’t open the door?
After a moment of internal struggle, Xu Juexi slowly crawled out of bed. He got out of bed and walked towards the door, wanting to see what had just happened.
Although he knew the person who had knocked on the door had probably left, he still opened the door very carefully. With a click of the lock, the door to the room opened, and Xu Juexi gently pushed it open a crack.
He peered around and saw that the corridor outside was empty.
Xu Juexi’s heart, which had been clenched with anxiety, calmed down slightly. He thought to himself that he had only scared himself. It must be the absurdity of time travel that had worn down his usually thick-skinned nerves. He reassured himself and tried to close the door and lie back down on the bed.
Just as he was about to turn around, a faint yet very strong scent entered Xu Juexi’s nostrils.
It’s a floral scent.
The scent was somewhat familiar, probably a common fragrance in perfumes, but it was so faint that Xu Juexi couldn’t quite place it for a moment.
Xu Juexi twitched his nose, took a deep breath, and inhaled the fragrance even more deeply.
Whether it was his imagination or not, he suddenly felt a jolt as if an electric shock had struck him. He stumbled while holding onto the door, almost losing his balance.
That’s strange.
Xu Juexi felt his sleep-deprived brain was also fuzzy. For some inexplicable reason, he turned his head and followed the scent, like a small animal looking for food, slowly moving forward along the corridor.
When he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of a door.
This should be a bedroom, just like Xu Juexi’s room.
The door wasn’t closed properly. A gap remained between the door frame and the door, allowing the fragrance to escape along with the room’s light, illuminating a corner of the dark corridor like a slightly ajar Pandora’s box.
Looking at the identical door in front of him, Xu Juexi, for some reason, reached out as if bewitched and pushed the door open.
When the room lights shone on Xu Juexi, he snapped out of his daze and realized that he had been bewitched, and only now did his five senses fully return.
The room was filled with such a strong floral fragrance that it was almost suffocating.
Xu Juexi took a deep breath, and that indescribable feeling returned to his body. He leaned against the wall, feeling his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
The bedding on the bed in the room was in disarray, and clothes were scattered haphazardly on it.
A loud swishing sound came from the bathroom inside the room.
Xu Juexi subconsciously looked up and saw someone taking a shower.
The clear, loud sound of flowing water brought Xu Juexi back to his senses briefly. He realized he had entered someone else’s room, their private space. This was quite offensive.
He turned to run away, but the sound of water stopped abruptly the moment he lifted his foot.
Snap.
The bathroom door was opened, and a figure appeared in front of Xu Juexi from behind the frosted glass door.
He was a tall man.
The man appeared to have come out of the bathroom without drying himself off. He had a towel wrapped around his waist, and water droplets dripped down his muscular body.
He squinted, scrutinizing the “uninvited guest” who had appeared in his room.
After a while, he smiled at Xu Juexi.
A subtle feeling of being caught doing something wrong flashed through Xu Juexi’s mind, and he turned around, intending to leave as if nothing had happened.
But the man didn’t seem to intend to let him go so easily. He was tall and had long legs, and he walked to Xu Juexi’s side in a few steps, grabbing Xu Juexi’s wrist.
Xu Juexi struggled helplessly for a moment, like a small animal being led away.
He looked up and met the man’s gaze, thinking to himself, “How awkward.”
I caused trouble as soon as I transmigrated here.
He swallowed hard and began frantically trying to come up with a reason in his mind, but he couldn’t find a reasonable explanation for his presence.
He opened and closed his mouth, then looked up at the other person with a pitiful expression, ready to answer whatever the other person asked.
Having just taken a cold shower, Gu Zhifeng’s hair was still dripping with cold water, but his body temperature remained high.
Without inhibitors, the heat and arousal during an alpha’s sensitive period cannot be relieved by such simple physical methods, let alone with another one appearing in front of you…
Watching the person in front of him open and close their crimson lips, Gu Zhifeng licked his own dry lips. The sweet, cloying scent of pheromones he’d smelled in the corridor earlier wasn’t just his imagination.
But why did an omega suddenly appear in the house?
The sweet scent emanating from the person in front of him grew stronger and stronger, and Gu Zhifeng’s thoughts were quickly thrown into disarray. He soon gave up on investigating the origins of the omega.
The pheromones emanating from the omega in front of him had a cheap, sweet scent that effortlessly aroused his desires—it didn’t take much thought to tell that such pheromones must have come from an inferior omega.
But…but…
Gu Zhifeng shifted his gaze slightly and got a clear look at the person’s entire face.
A pale, fragile face, pitifully moist eyes, and adorable lips… without a doubt, this face was extremely beautiful. Such beauty even made the inferior pheromones emanating from him seem sweet and charming.
Gu Zhifeng felt an indescribable itch in his heart.
He didn’t know if it was a rebound from his long-term use of suppressants, or something else, but he, who could remain unmoved even when faced with a top-tier omega, suddenly had the idea of devouring the person in front of him.
”…It hurts so much!” Xu Juexi frowned, tears welling up in his eyes.
This guy is insane!
The man gripped his wrist tighter and tighter, as if trying to twist his hand off—while trespassing was impolite, it didn’t warrant this! He wasn’t even given a chance to explain!
The beautiful omega suddenly spoke, his voice soft.
The man looked down at the wrist he was holding, noticing the red marks his fingers had left on the other man’s fair skin.
After a while, he loosened his grip.
My wrists are all red.
Xu Juexi pulled his hand back with some displeasure, gently blew on his wrist where it had been pinched, and looked somewhat aggrieved.
Just as he was about to say something, he felt a heat on his chin as the man pinched it.
”…What are you doing?”
He wanted to rebuke the other person, but when he met those dark eyes, he became timid and his voice softened.
”Why are you in my room?” Gu Zhifeng asked.
Xu Juexi: “…Wrong way.”
”Wrong place?” Gu Zhifeng snorted. “Do you think I’d believe such a lame excuse? How did you get into the old house? Who let you in?”
Xu Juexi paused, unable to find the words to answer the other party’s question, so he said, “…Anyway, you’ve already squeezed my hand like this, so we’re even!”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and tried to run away, slippery as an eel, but the man grabbed him and pressed him against the wall, pinching his chin and forcing him to raise his head.
”Are you an Omega?” Gu Zhifeng asked again.
What Omega?
Xu Juexi was completely baffled by this word, feeling as if he’d been kicked from the equator to the Arctic Ocean. He had transmigrated into a book, but wasn’t this a male-oriented novel?
Where did this Omega come from?
Before he could figure it out, the hand on his chin suddenly tightened. Before he could react, the man leaned down and kissed his lips without warning.
Xu Juexi: “!!”
His pupils dilated suddenly, the hot breath of the man in front of him burning his cheek, making him almost tremble uncontrollably. His soft lips were completely kissed by the other man, his saliva and breath being swallowed by him.
The omega’s soft, moist lips were incredibly delicious to the alpha during his sensitive period. The only drawback was that the pheromone content in such a low-grade omega was far too low for the S-grade alpha, Gu Zhifeng. The kiss felt like scratching an itch through a boot; he only felt even hungrier.
He only let the omega go after kissing him until his face turned red and he was almost out of breath.
Gu Zhifeng’s own breathing became heavy. He stepped back slightly, cupped the omega’s face, and reached out to wipe the glistening moisture from the other’s lips. The omega, who had been forcibly kissed, was clearly still in a daze, staring at him with red eyes, his eyelashes fluttering gently with his rapid breathing, making him look even more beautiful.
”You’re so beautiful.” Gu Zhifeng squinted his eyes and murmured to himself, “Would you like to be my omega? I’ll treat you well.”
”…”
Xu Juexi didn’t want to talk to him.
”What’s your name?” Gu Zhifeng asked again.
“…Xu Juexi.” Out of politeness, Xu Juexi answered the other party’s question.
Upon hearing the name, Gu Zhifeng’s eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, but he quickly put on his usual carefree smile again: “It sounds nice.”
Xu Juexi did not notice the subtle change in his expression.
He pursed his lips, feeling a strange, indescribable sensation on his body, perhaps… heat?
—Is it because of this that you’re an omega?
The world has an ABO setting, which is different from what he expected.
Such a setting shouldn’t exist in male-oriented novels.
If… if it were an ABO world, then… the story might be very different from what he expected.
According to stereotypes, if he is an omega, then the man in front of him is very likely an alpha. Considering the current location and his behavior, he is very likely his “young master” fiancé.
Did he forcefully kiss him just now because he wanted to make their fake relationship real with a real kiss?
Xu Juexi looked up and examined the other person’s features. After thinking for a moment, he felt that he could also consider this script.
His goal was simply to get along well with the main character in the book; the process didn’t matter.
However, he had never been in a relationship or been married in his original world, so he had no experience in this matter and was completely clueless about it.
On a sudden inspiration, he imitated what he saw in TV dramas, tilted his head back, and obediently called out, “Husband.”
His voice was soft, with an uncertain upward lilt at the end, which was endearing.
Gu Zhifeng was somewhat surprised. He quickly curled his lips, pressed his thumb against Xu Juexi’s lower lip, and pried his lips open again, forcing Xu Juexi to open his mouth.
”husband?”
Gu Zhifeng chuckled softly, as if he had discovered something interesting: “Do you… know who I am?”
Before Xu Juexi could answer, Gu Zhifeng’s fingers probed further in, pressing against his tongue in a way that left no room for refusal.
”…Ugh!”
Xu Juexi’s pupils contracted sharply. He felt incredulously the abnormal tingling sensation spreading through his mouth, centered on his tongue. It was like… it was like…
Gu Zhifeng increased the pressure of his fingers, pinching the unusual gland on Xu Juexi’s tongue.
This was something he made unexpectedly while the two were kissing.
The glands of the omega in front of me don’t seem to be growing in the places they should be.
Xu Juexi almost instantly squeezed out a few more tears from the corners of his eyes. He struggled and groaned, trying to push Gu Zhifeng away, but his legs were too weak to move.
To avoid falling, he instinctively moved closer to the man in front of him, pressing himself against him through his pajamas, as if offering himself up in a hug.
”…It’s so beautiful,”
Gu Zhifeng whispered in the omega’s ear again, “So beautiful… sister-in-law.”
