TFS | Chapter 61

At one o’clock in the afternoon, outside the Western restaurant at the corner, a young woman was bruised black and blue from a beating, her face twisted with resentment.

“You bastard, if it weren’t for your parents, I’d have ruined you already. How dare you take advantage of me? You’re asking for death, aren’t you?” The cold-faced Young Master Qi disdainfully wiped his hands.

“Qi Yue, who do you think you are? You’re only an omega and you still dare fight an alpha. When your heat comes, I’ll make you kneel and beg me…” Before she could finish, someone kicked her unconscious. Her nose was still hanging with two streams of blood, and she looked utterly miserable.

Standing off to the side, Qi Yue couldn’t help but sneer.

Heat?

He wasn’t some human beast. Having him get aroused by a sleazy woman would be better than killing him. This ridiculous ABO world.

Qi Yue thought again about his rebirth. After the car accident in his last life, he had been reborn into this world built on ABO.

In this world, alpha were natural leaders, with especially powerful physical and mental strength. Beta were the ordinary masses who made up society, while omega were physically weaker, managed beings, the side that was controlled.

After being reborn here, Qi Yue had become the controlled side, that is, the omega with the worst physical and mental strength.

But in his world, there was no distinction between alpha and omega. As for what an omega was supposed to be like, he didn’t care at all. After all, as long as his fists were hard enough, even alpha wouldn’t dare provoke him casually.

With a dark face, Qi Yue left the western restaurant. He heard passersby on the roadside whispering.

“…Did I see that right? That really was an omaga, and he can fight better than an alpha?”

“…You’re obviously new here. That’s the Qi family’s young master. He’s come here for blind dates several times already, and every time he beats his date half to death…”

“Who says otherwise? After all, no alpha would like such a violent omega. No wonder the Qi family’s young master is almost of age and still doesn’t have a fiancée.”

“You can’t put it that way. Sure, Young Master Qi’s temper is a bit bad, but the Qi family is rich and powerful. Whoever marries him won’t have to worry about food or drink for the rest of their life…”

“Then I’ll give him to you. Do you want him?”

“Ew… you can keep that kind of man. I like gentle, considerate ones.”

…

Qi Yue heard some of the disdainful words and didn’t care at all. He wasn’t a native omega, and the things he did were equally absurd in the eyes of these people.

There was no omega whose fists were harder than an alpha’s, whose temper was worse, whose personality was anything close to gentle.

Besides that, he smoked, drank, fought, and occasionally went out with a bunch of friends to carouse. His behavior was absurd to the extreme, not the slightest bit like an omega.

His family all said his life was ruined, that no alpha would ever like him. Once his heat arrived, he would die a terrible death.

But Qi Yue didn’t care about any of that. Heat, rut, bonding, he wasn’t some human beast who got aroused at the sight of a woman. Wasn’t that laughable?

Qi Yue casually lit a cigarette and viciously ground his shoe down on the unconscious blind date on the ground, his brows and eyes full of cold disgust.

When he got to school, his eager underling hurried over to curry favor. “Bro, you’re here! Why are you so early today? Are you ditching work this afternoon to go fight?”

The hangers-on gathered around him one after another, clearly very enthusiastic about group fights.

Qi Yue brushed them off casually. He wasn’t in the mood to deal with them and was looking at the latest news on his phone.

The stubborn underling crowded up again, his fluffy head leaning in as he asked in a low voice, “Boss, I’ve got some inside information. Do you want to hear it?”

Qi Yue lifted a brow and raised his eyelids. “What inside information? Let’s hear it.”

The underling’s eyes shone, his tone thrilled. “A transfer student came to the school recently. They say he’s an alpha with insanely strong mental power, and his looks are super high-tier too. He’s prettier than an omega, Boss. Do you want to try flirting with him?”

“An alpha?” Qi Yue’s tone was casual, the corner of his mouth lifting with a faint sneer. “Sure. I’ve heard alphas with strong mental power usually aren’t weak either. I wonder if this one will be worth playing with for a few days.”

The young man sitting without any sense of posture reached out and tugged at his loose white shirt. The collar was slightly open, revealing a collarbone as delicate as jade.

The underling waiting nearby looked dumbfounded. His omega boss had such strong A-qi. Even as a beta, he was being hooked by him until he couldn’t look away, let alone the other female alphas sitting in the classroom.

But had Boss misunderstood what he meant?

The underling let out a few awkward “uhs,” then said carefully, “Boss, I meant, you’re almost an adult now. Maybe this new transfer student could be your girlfriend?”

Qi Yue sneered, clenching his fist as he stared at the underling with a dark, sinister look. “Girlfriend? Do you think I’m the kind of person who lacks a girlfriend?”

The underling swallowed. In his heart he thought, You’re clearly missing one. After all, no alpha would like someone as violent as you, an O who fights even fiercer than an A. If your sensitive period comes, wouldn’t you be doomed?

The punkish underling, risking another beating, kindly reminded him, “Boss, don’t say that. This A is really good. If you don’t mind, should I help you check things out?”

Before he could finish, he got beaten up again. The fists came flying with a whistling force, so strong they were like a bull’s, nothing like what a normal male omega should have.

In his heart, he miserably thought that Boss really was the wildest O he had ever seen. Could Boss have mutated? He was actually an A, right, right?

Sniffling, the underling rubbed his head and looked pitifully at his boss. Qi Yue got annoyed and kicked him straight away. The force was so strong it frightened the nearby female alphas who had been thinking of approaching him, and they all stopped in their tracks.

…

After beating someone up, Qi Yue felt much better.

He really hated this world built on ABO. Clearly his combat ability was stronger than the average alpha’s, yet they wanted him to depend on some soft, flimsy woman. Ridiculous!

Qi Yue went to the restroom and washed his face. His damp hair covered his sharp brows and eyes, and he reached up to brush it aside with an absentminded air.

He suddenly wanted a cigarette, so he skillfully took a pack out of his pants pocket, pulled one out, and held it between his lips. With a flick of the lighter, the smell of smoke slowly spread.

Qi Yue exhaled, thin wisps of white smoke drifting through the air. His fingers loosely pinched the cigarette, his collar slightly open, giving off a hard-to-describe kind of sexy, languid looseness.

A very quiet conversation came from the restroom entrance opposite, as if someone was confessing, “Xu, Xu tongxue, this is a… love letter I wrote for you. May I ask… can you accept it?”

The boy was too nervous. His fingers trembled as he took out the carefully designed love letter from his pocket. A pink heart sticker was even pasted on the cover. He shakily handed over the love letter, so tense he could barely get out a complete sentence.

Qi Yue sneered inwardly. He had seen plenty of scenes like this. However, omega in this world were mostly weak and easy to bully, and very few bold boys dared confess their feelings to the person they liked.

Leaning against the edge of the doorframe, Qi Yue thought this male O was pretty weird too. Blocking someone in the restroom to confess, was he planning to succeed and then leave the other person with an unforgettable smell memory?

Still, he couldn’t go out right now. He couldn’t exactly interrupt someone’s carefully planned confession, so he just watched quietly from behind the door.

After the boy stammered through, finally finishing a complete sentence with difficulty, he heard the person inside speak. It was a woman’s voice.

Her voice was unexpectedly pleasant, gentle and calm, and vaguely familiar.

Qi Yue froze. His ears felt tingly and numb, as if something had scratched them twice. In his heart, something seemed to brush him lightly, making him want to see who was speaking.

He heard that gentle voice say flatly, “Sorry, I already have someone I like. I can’t accept your love letter.”

“Y… you already have someone you like?” The boy lifted his head sharply, his eyes almost instantly turning red.

Xu Linruan nodded. “You could say that.”

The boy in front of her subconsciously took a step back, but his foot landed in empty space and his body tipped backward, about to fall down the stairs.

A pair of pale, moist hands caught his arm. Qi Yue saw those fingers pressed against the boy’s arm, and his breathing grew slightly hurried.

How strange.

Why did he feel like this?

It seemed like he had seen those hands somewhere before.

Qi Yue’s heartbeat sped up, as if out of control. He could almost imagine the sensation of being touched intimately by those fingers, that kind of private closeness making him dizzy.

After the boy steadied himself, Xu Linruan let go. She said a few more things to him, then left.

Qi Yue subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but the crowd surging in pushed him aside. He was irritated to the extreme and forcefully shoved through the people, only to discover that the girl was gone.

…

That night, Qi Yue had a dream.

A dream with an extremely intense color palette, its plot filled with shame and absurdity.

He in the dream was too rough, ridiculously shameless as he pounced on a female alpha. He didn’t even remember her name. He pinned her against the doorframe, shoved one leg between hers, held her slender waist, and kissed her lips without restraint…

He thought he must have gone crazy. He had always hated the ABO setup of this world, finding a body controlled by emotions disgusting. Yet just last night, he had been like some kind of rutting beast, sprawled over that female alpha, shamelessly prying her legs apart, then coaxing her in a hoarse voice to… mark him…

Qi Yue struggled awake from the dream. The soreness all over his body made him feel like he might really be crazy. He clearly hated this setting, but in the dream he had actually been that, that crazy…

His face red, he sat on the bed, the scenes from the dream constantly replaying in his mind, that woman’s blurred face.

Who was she?

Why did she make him feel so… attached?

Qi Yue couldn’t remember her name. But no matter who she was, she had to be someone he really liked, otherwise… he wouldn’t have… done those shameless things to her.

Qi Yue began paying attention to the female alphas at school recently. Even though he hadn’t seen her clearly and didn’t remember her name, as long as she appeared, he would definitely find her.

The underling noticed that Boss had been very off these past few days. Sometimes he hugged his phone and grinned foolishly, sometimes he stood in front of a mirror with a furrowed brow. This state was obviously not right.

The underling was very confused and asked with concern, “Boss, what’s wrong with you recently? Did you catch some kind of illness? Why do you keep holding a mirror and looking so worried?”

Qi Yue’s expression paused. After hesitating for a while, he still couldn’t help but say it. “I want to find someone, a female alpha.”

The underling thumped his chest. “That’s easy. Boss, tell me that girl’s name, and I guarantee I’ll find her for you by tomorrow.”

Qi Yue shook his head, his brows tightly locked. “I don’t know her name, and I didn’t see her face clearly…”

“…I only remember that her voice was very nice,” Qi Yue couldn’t help turning his face away. His earlobe hidden under his hair was a little hot. “…Her hands were beautiful. Long and slender, and the way they felt on my body was very soft and comfortable…”

“Very soft and comfortable?” The underling’s eyes went wide. What kind of tiger and wolf words were those? Was that the kind of image he was thinking of?

Under the underling’s shocked gaze, Qi Yue flew into embarrassed rage and slapped him. “…Anyway, that’s it. Find her for me as soon as possible, got it?”

The underling finally understood. Boss had awakened! He had even fallen for a female alpha whose face he didn’t even know. This was going to be hard. Where was he supposed to find a female alpha with beautiful fingers?

After fussing for a week, Qi Yue had kept his eye on every female alpha in the school, but still hadn’t found the girl he was thinking of day and night.

Where had she gone?

Could it all have just been his imagination?

Could that girl simply not exist at all?

Qi Yue looked grim as he leaned on the railing and fished a cigarette out of his pocket to light it. It felt like something was blocking his chest, and that pain he couldn’t ignore gave him the urge to cry.

He felt that something was off about himself. His mood was very low, and he didn’t know whether it was because of the dream, but his body had been acting strangely these past few days. He lacked any sense of security and needed someone to accompany and care for him.

He forced down all of these negative emotions over the next few days, but after a week of not finding that woman, the originally depressed feelings were almost impossible to suppress. What followed was his sensitive period, and his heat arrived.

Qi Yue’s legs went weak, and he could barely stand as he leaned on the railing.

Damn heat, coming just when it pleased.

He reached for his pocket. It was empty. He didn’t know when his suppressant had been lost.

Qi Yue was a little panicked. This was the first time he had truly felt how terrifying heat could be. Fresh body-scent pheromones kept spilling from his glands, luring in many female alphas.

Someone gathered around him, their tone mocking. “Well, well, if it isn’t Qi Yue? Has Young Master Qi’s heat arrived?”

Qi Yue braced himself against the wall, unable to stand steadily. He recognized this disgusting woman, the one he had beaten up in the western restaurant before. He glared at her coldly. “Get lost.”

“Tch, Young Master Qi really is all bark and no bite. Your legs are already weak, and you still dare act tough in front of an alpha.”

The woman took a step forward, a smile appearing in her eyes. “How about it, Young Master? Why don’t you kneel and beg me? Maybe I can forget the past and give you a temporary mark?”

Qi Yue smelled the scent coming off her and only felt disgusted enough to vomit. “Stay the hell away. If you dare touch me with even one finger, I’ll cripple you.”

The woman narrowed her eyes, a trace of mockery appearing on her face. “Looks like the young master still hasn’t figured out the situation. Now is when you should be begging me to mark you…”

She stared at Qi Yue’s overly exquisite face. His black hair was damp and stuck to his skin, and an unnatural flush had risen across his cheeks…

She thought carelessly that his personality was a bit rotten, but that face was still very good. Especially when she saw that disdainful gaze turn into a humble, desperate look beneath her, it would make her feel very satisfied.

So what if he hated her? In the end, he still couldn’t escape being marked by her.

She reached out toward him, wanting to see him humiliated into having no choice but to crawl beneath her, clinging miserably and begging for her mark, seeing a proud man like him kneel and ask her would make her feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment…

She slowly approached, but because she was too excited, she failed to notice his resistance in time and got kicked over.

Qi Yue really felt disgusted. This sickening sense of being controlled by his body, no matter who came close, made him want to vomit. His hands and feet trembling, after kicking her away he ran out in a stagger.

As he passed the corner, he accidentally collided with a figure.

That soft body gave him a strangely familiar feeling. Even before his eyes saw the person, he already smelled the rose pheromones on her, and in that instant all the blood in his body surged hot.

When he looked up, his eyes instantly turned red. It was her, no mistake, the woman from his dream.

He couldn’t help but blush, his fingers trembling as they hooked onto her sleeve button, his breathing a little rough.

The other person looked over, confusion in her eyes. “You’re very hot. Has your heat arrived?”

Qi Yue’s face flushed bright red at once.

He really hated that way of saying it. Heat, that kind of thing, made him feel like some sort of beast.

鬼使神差地, Qi Yue hugged her body, his fingers slipping through her sleeve opening and gently rubbing against her delicate skin. For some reason, he subconsciously called her name, “Ruanruan, Ruanruan…”

The person accidentally stumbled into his arms. Her rich fragrance wrapped around the entire space, giving Qi Yue a strange sense of security. He held her and rubbed against her, whining, “My body feels so awful, I can’t even breathe anymore…”

Someone was chasing after them from behind. For the first time, Qi Yue felt that his acting was actually pretty good.

He wrapped both arms tightly around her body, leaning pitifully into the crook of her neck, kissing her again and again. “Someone’s chasing me. She wants to forcibly mark me. Please save me, okay?”

Xu Linruan couldn’t pull free from his grip. When she looked up, she saw the woman chasing after them not far away. The other woman stopped when she saw her. “Who are you? This is my omega. Are you trying to steal him?”

Xu Linruan patted his back. Her gentle voice sounded by his ear, soothingly. “Your omega? Harassing an omega against their will is illegal. Any act of forcing a mark on an omega will be severely punished. Are you sure this is your omega?”

The man tightly pressed against her took the opportunity to fan the flames, his voice ragged with panting. “I… I’m not hers. Don’t believe her…”

The woman shot her a fierce glare. Thinking that the duck right in front of her had just flown away like that, she left unwillingly.

Once Xu Linruan saw her go far enough away, she patted his shoulder, her tone comforting. “All right, she’s gone. I’ll take you to the hospital now.”

His expression changed slightly, and he clung tightly to her sleeve. His voice grew even more aggrieved. “Why do I have to go to the hospital?”

Xu Linruan was surprised. “If you don’t go to the hospital, how are you planning to get through your heat?”

Qi Yue was dizzy and didn’t dare look into her eyes. “You… just mark me… and that’ll be fine.”

The other person ignored him, and Qi Yue’s eyes reddened.

“…This kind of thing is very simple, don’t you know how?” His fingers found hers, slowly moving to the gland behind her neck, instinctively guiding her, as if he didn’t know what shame was. “Just here, bite once and it’ll be fine. I’m not afraid of pain…”

She still didn’t move. Qi Yue’s mind was in turmoil. “Why aren’t you talking to me…?”

He suddenly remembered what he had heard her say in the restroom that day, and immediately felt unbearably aggrieved. “Do you have some other O? Why won’t you mark me?”

Could it be that she didn’t like his type?

Was it because he was too bad? His mind, already in a confused state, struggled to think. Was it because his reputation was too terrible, so she disliked him?

Qi Yue wanted to say, Don’t dislike me, okay? I’ll change.

From now on, he would definitely never smoke again, never fight or goof around anymore. He would settle down and be a gentle, considerate omega boyfriend…

An omega in a sensitive period had an inexplicable sense of unease, becoming tearful and weak, wanting to rely on his alpha at all times.

Xu Linruan subconsciously comforted him. “I don’t.”

Qi Yue felt like he was about to collapse. His A wasn’t talking to him, so he desperately grabbed her fingers and pressed them forcefully against his skin. “You’re mine…”

Xu Linruan had a headache. “Fine, then I’ll take you to the hospital.”

He refused, forcefully pinning her against the doorframe and kissing her, shoving one leg inside. It was unclear where he’d learned this technique, but while crying and sniffling, he coaxed her, “…I’m not going. Mark me, okay? I’m about to die from how bad this feels. Do you want to watch me die?”

His collar had been tugged open, and the buttons had popped off. He glanced inside, then reddened and smoothed out the wrinkles, afraid that even a sliver of skin would be exposed for others to see.

Xu Linruan couldn’t shake him off. The pheromones he was releasing kept luring her toward her own susceptible period, and she was afraid that if they kept entangling like this, it would cause even bigger trouble.

So Xu Linruan gave him a temporary mark. The man buried in the crook of her neck was finally satisfied. He wrapped both arms around her waist, leaning on her shoulder and breathing hard. His black hair was soaked and stuck to his cheeks, like a mermaid pulled from the water, beautiful to the point that no one could look away.

He leaned close to the side of her ear in an intimate gesture, as if both his body and mind had been soothed. He kissed her earlobe and whispered softly in her ear, “Ruanruan… take me home… I’ll give you little A, okay?”

He was too embarrassed to say it out loud, and even his earlobes were burning red. He had never experienced giving birth to little A either. But if the other person was her, he could do it. He could give birth to many, many little A…

“Paah…”

A figure rolled off the bed and landed on the floor, a little dazed.

Qi Yue, his face red to the point of heat, sat up from the floor, looking blank. What was going on? Was he dreaming?

Come to think of it, where was his little A?

Qi Yue felt a little regretful. He climbed back onto his wife’s bed with great reluctance, then buried his head in the other person’s neck, his voice aggrieved and pitiful. “Ruanruan, I had a nightmare. My little A is gone, before it even formed it miscarried, wuwu…”

Xu Linruan turned her head, her expression speechless. “What little A?”

The young master aggrievedly pressed his face against her forehead and took her fingers to rest on his stomach. “This place. I already found her mommy, but then you kicked me awake, and the little A was just gone like that. Wuwu, you have to pay me back for my little A…”

Xu Linruan rolled her eyes. This guy had probably gone crazy wanting a child. “Qi Xiaoyue, did you dream too much? If you dare say more nonsense, believe it or not, I’ll make you cry so hard you won’t be able to get out of bed?”

The man beside her grew even more aggrieved. He felt like the emotions in the dream had affected his real body too, and miserably buried his face against her chest. “You’re being fierce to me. You’re being fierce to me again?”

“…My little A is gone, and you don’t even feel bad at all…”

After he cried and clung to her for quite a while, Xu Linruan finally understood. “You want to have a little A?”

Qi Yue unconsciously bit his lip. He looked up at his wife’s expression, then nodded seriously. “I do. I want to give birth to a beautiful little A. Wife, just… cooperate a little, okay?”

The other person disgustedly pushed away his face as he leaned in. “Dream on. If you want to have a little A, have one yourself. You’re not allowed to touch me.”

Qi Yue persistently coaxed her, rubbing his nose against her neck, his tone sticky and soft. “Just one. Just one, okay? Wife, I can guarantee you that my genes are very strong. The little A we have will definitely be the smartest…”

“Okay or not, wife?”
