Qi Yue was woken by the noise.
The shouting by his ear was impossible to ignore.
The alpha struggled hard in his arms, eyes wide and round.
Qi Yue caught the other man’s wrists and held them fast. He opened his eyes and glanced at Pei Fan without a care.
“It’s still early. Sleep a little longer.”
Pei Fan glared at him. “Qi Yue! Who said you could come? Why are you in my bed?”
Qi Yue released Pei Fan’s hands, found his phone, and opened a recording.
“How do you feel now?”
“Mmm… that felt amazing.”
Qi Yue turned off the recording. “Believe me now? You were the one who called me here.”
“Qi Yue! You think you can fool me with AI?”
That syrupy, clinging voice could not possibly have come from him!
Absolutely impossible!
Qi Yue must have used AI on his voice just to disgust him.
Qi Yue propped himself up. There were scratches of varying depth on his chest and back, and clear bite marks on his collarbone.
Even his lips bore teeth marks.
Pei Fan froze for a moment. He had no memory at all of what had happened last night.
But the changes in his body were unmistakable.
He had actually slept with that pervert Qi Yue again.
Pei Fan’s breathing quickened with anger. He pointed at Qi Yue. “Qi Yue, I was interested in you before, fine, but aren’t you going too far?”
“You’ve had your fill and now you pretend not to know me? Hmm?” Qi Yue shook his phone. “There’s more than one recording. Want to hear another?”
“Stop trying to fool me with AI. I told you, I don’t believe it.”
Qi Yue pointed at his lips. “Don’t believe me? Your pheromones are still here. Want to smell?”
Qi Yue leaned in as he spoke. Pei Fan jumped in fright, covered his backside, and shuffled backward. “What are you trying to do now? I’m warning you, don’t try anything. My people are nearby, and this time they’ll definitely come in!”
“Relax. Everything that needed doing was done last night. Of course, if you want to go again, I’m fine with that too.”
“Bah! Careful you don’t screw yourself to death!” Pei Fan grabbed the blanket beside him and covered himself.
Qi Yue got up and washed up with complete ease, dressed in front of Pei Fan, and headed for the door without looking back.
“Hey!” Pei Fan called after him.
Qi Yue turned his head, and Pei Fan froze.
Qi Yue’s face was just too damn handsome.
No matter how many times he looked, his heart still skipped a beat.
Last night, all he remembered was holding the hamster plush. After that, nothing.
Hu Fei had stuffed the hamster plush into his suitcase. Qi Yue must have figured that out last night too.
“Take your stuff with you. I don’t want it.”
“My stuff?” Qi Yue raised an eyebrow and looked Pei Fan over, drawing his voice out. “My stuff? Isn’t it all inside your body now?”
Pei Fan blanked for a moment before he realized what Qi Yue meant.
“Qi Yue! I’ll kill you!”
Pei Fan leaped off the bed recklessly and clamped his legs around Qi Yue’s waist.
Qi Yue caught him and held him steady.
“Throwing yourself into my arms?”
Pei Fan gripped Qi Yue’s throat. “I’m going to strangle you!”
With his throat gripped and air running short, Qi Yue narrowed his eyes. A dominant pheromone seeped from the gland at the back of his neck.
Pei Fan’s hands went slack, his whole body went weak, and he could only slump limply against Qi Yue.
Qi Yue deliberately loosened his hold. Pei Fan felt himself about to fall and hurriedly clung to Qi Yue with both hands and legs.
Pei Fan’s panicked voice rose again.
“Qi Yue, what exactly did you do to me?”
“In the ABO world, isn’t it always the strong who rule? My pheromones are strong, so naturally I can control you.”
Qi Yue kissed Pei Fan’s cheek. “Be good, and I won’t use my pheromones to suppress you.”
“What ABO? Enigmas are legendary creatures. Don’t tell me you actually believe they exist.”
Pei Fan snorted. No one had ever seen an enigma.
And no one had ever stepped forward to claim they were one.
“Hu Fei said you were born in a remote little village and came to the big city for the first time. You must have been fooled by something you read online.”
“A remote little village?”
Qi Yue gave a soft laugh.
The System had arranged his identity as the eldest son of a reclusive great family.
Several mountains there belonged to the Qi family.
Calling him a country boy from a remote village was not entirely wrong.
“Enigma? I don’t believe in that.” Pei Fan had recovered his strength. “Put me down.”
With his reason returning, Pei Fan also realized how ridiculous it was to be clinging naked to Qi Yue.
He really had lost his mind from anger. Every time he ran into Qi Yue, he ended up doing something unbelievable.
“Getting me here was easy; getting rid of me won’t be.” Qi Yue pressed his face closer. “Kiss me once, and I’ll let you go.”
Pei Fan bared his teeth. “Want to bet I’ll bite you?”
“I believe it.” Qi Yue licked the broken skin at the corner of his mouth. That was Pei Fan’s handiwork.
The crimson tip of his tongue flicked out, and Pei Fan turned his head away.
This pervert. How could even a gesture like that be so special?
“Stop seducing me.” Pei Fan still managed a threat. “I haven’t even settled last night with you yet.”
“Oh? Want the details? Then should I film it next time?”
“Don’t you dare!” Pei Fan glared at Qi Yue. “Delete the recording.”
“Didn’t you say it was AI-generated?”
“I…” Pei Fan gritted his teeth.
Knock, knock, knock.
The urgent knocking cut off their conversation.
Pei Fan looked down at himself, then at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue was dressed; he was naked. If Hu Fei walked in now, he would never live it down.
“Put me down now!” Pei Fan released a suppressive pheromone.
Qi Yue closed his eyes, his nostrils flaring, and took a deep breath. “Baby, your pheromones smell so good.”
The fresh, damp air after rain was invigorating, utterly different from his own cold, hazy mist.
How could this be?
His suppressive pheromones had no effect on Qi Yue at all?
“Qi Yue, put me down now.”
Qi Yue leaned his face in, the meaning unmistakable.
Pei Fan shut his eyes, steeled himself, and pecked Qi Yue on the cheek.
“The price went up.” Qi Yue licked his lips. “I want a French kiss.”
“Qi Yue, don’t push your luck!”
Knock, knock, knock.
“Brother Pei, are you awake? The doctor’s here to examine you.”
Hu Fei was still urging him from outside. Pei Fan shouted, “Come back later.”
“I can’t, Brother Pei. The doctor says your situation is different. If you wait any longer, you’ll miss the best window for examination.”
Qi Yue watched him with infuriating composure. Every time Pei Fan saw that look, he felt the man was showing off again.
What was there to show off about? So his pheromones were a little stronger and he had turned the tables on him.
One day, he would get his hands on Qi Yue’s ass too.
“Fine, a kiss is a kiss. I’ll just treat it like acting.”
Pei Fan closed his eyes and pressed his lips to Qi Yue’s thin lips.
Damn it, this was his first kiss.
Pei Fan’s pheromone: the fresh, damp scent of air after rain
Qi Yue’s pheromone: cold, hazy mist, dangerous and alluring with a seductive edge
A reminder once again: whether you root for the top or the bottom, proceed with caution. Neither of these two is a good person.
