I like you, Jiang You. Will you be my boyfriend?

The cold air seemed to carry a trace of warmth, the white puffs of breath slowly dissipating in the air before new ones could form. The two youths clung to each other, their heavy panting mixed with wet, squelching sounds that made one's face flush.

Slender fingers gently brushed over the black suppressor patch, the rough texture mesmerizing Ji Yue. Every time he touched it, Jiang Qi couldn't help but tremble, shrinking deeper into Ji Yue's embrace.

"Mnh... Ji Yue." Jiang You suddenly woke up, his amber eyes glistening with tears, sending ripples through one's heart.

Ji Yue froze, staring intently at the Omega in front of him.

Seeing that Ji Yue made no move, Jiang You lightly bit his lower lip and slowly leaned in to kiss Ji Yue, as innocent as a kitten showing affection to its owner.

Ji Yue's nose twitched slightly. He smelled a faint, sweet fragrance. Looking down at Jiang You's appearance, he couldn't resist pressing his lips against the wound on Jiang You's lip, tasting a salty hint of blood.

"Does it hurt?" Ji Yue's voice was hoarse.

Jiang You didn't speak. He had been kissed to the point of breathlessness, taking the opportunity to turn his head to catch his breath. Seeing this, Ji Yue chuckled softly, stroking Jiang You's soft hair. Smelling the fresh, cool scent radiating from the Omega, the blood in his entire body boiled. He could almost hear his heart beating wildly with excitement.

*He is so sweet.*

A moment later, the Omega's eyes seemed to sparkle with tiny lights, making them look even more radiant. He lightly licked his lips, enticing the Alpha standing before him: "Shall we do it again?"

Ji Yue's hand suddenly paused. Obviously, his partner had switched personalities again. He curled his lips into a smile, placed his hand on the back of Jiang Qi's neck, and gently comforted him, caressing him like a priceless treasure before kissing him gently and intimately.

After a while, Ji Yue regained a shred of sanity. Suppressing his instincts, he pulled away from the Omega's lips and murmured, "Have you taken your suppressants?"

Jiang Qi looked at him with red eyes, his gaze shifting with a trace of discomfort: "Don't you want to mark me? Why do we need suppressants?"

As Jiang Qi spoke, he reached up to peel off the suppressor patch on the back of his neck, his provocative gaze seeming to say that other than marking him, there was no other way.

Ji Yue pressed down on Jiang Qi's hand. He stared at Jiang Qi and said sincerely, "I want to mark you."

Jiang Qi smirked. He turned his face, exposing his fair, flushed neck and the partially peeled suppressor patch.

"Come on."

Ji Yue shook his head. Feeling an itch in his nose, he touched it to check if it was bleeding, then cursed himself inwardly for being useless. However, he still didn't dare look at the Omega, stammering.

"I'll find suppressants for you." Ji Yue suppressed his instincts, preparing to look for emergency suppressants. Every public place was equipped with suppressants to prevent such situations.

"You really don't like me." Jiang Qi took two steps back, lowering his head as he slipped out of Ji Yue's arms. His voice drifted lightly in the air, as if a single breath could blow it away.

Ji Yue wished he could slap his past self. Now he was tongue-tied and couldn't explain.

"I like you!" Ji Yue smiled wryly. "I was just talking nonsense out of anger earlier. I deserve to be beaten."

"Since birth, this Ji Yue has only liked two Omegas—Jiang You and Jiang Qi!" Ji Yue pulled at his collar dejectedly, revealing a red mark.

Jiang Qi's amber eyes lit up, but when he raised his head, he still wore a sorrowful expression: "If you like me and Jiang You, then why do you keep being intimate with another Omega? So intimate that everyone around thinks you two have an unusual relationship?"

Under Jiang Qi's "accusation," Ji Yue suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He finally understood the issue: "Why are you so anxious, even caring about whether I interact with other Omegas? Do you like me?"

Jiang Qi froze. Looking at Ji Yue's suddenly excited face, he lowered his head with a bitter smile: "I like you, but you don't like me anymore."

Ji Yue's mind went blank, leaving only one sentence: *He likes me!!!*
*Jiang Qi likes me!!!*

After saying this, Jiang Qi kept waiting for the Alpha's reaction. He was thinking that if Ji Yue rejected him, should he directly knock him out and take him home, or continue to play pitiful to snatch him away.

Before Jiang Qi could finish his thought, Ji Yue rushed forward to hug him, a faint fragrance and warmth filling the Omega's nose.

"I like you."

Ji Yue was incredibly excited. He said to Jiang Qi, "I like you, and I like Jiang You. Although confessing to two people at the same time sounds like a scumbag, still, no matter who it is, you're both very lovely, you know? You..."

"Jiang Qi, will you be my boyfriend?"

Jiang Qi's eyes widened. He felt an itch on the back of his neck, and chaotic sounds flooded his ears, but he was in no mood to care about them. Only now did he realize that he could possess this Alpha; this Alpha was about to become his boyfriend.

Jiang Qi felt as if a fire was burning inside his body, spreading from the back of his neck to his heart, and then flowing from his heart to every part of his body. He said tremblingly, "Okay."

After saying this single word, he looked toward the Alpha, his vision blurring. Just as he was about to say something, his consciousness vanished.

When Jiang You regained consciousness, his surroundings were all white, with a faint smell of disinfectant. There was no one around; this was the school infirmary.

Jiang You looked down at the needle on the back of his hand. It seemed he had received more than one injection.

Jiang Qi in his subconscious had also woken up.

Their heat cycle had suddenly arrived. It wasn't supposed to be today, but due to the recent major emotional fluctuations, it had come early.

The current situation was likely because he had fainted back then and was brought to the infirmary by Ji Yue.

Jiang You lowered his head and pursed his lips:【Did you do it on purpose?】

Taking the opportunity to entice the Alpha into being with them.

【Mnh.】

Jiang You didn't ask further. He understood everything. He knew what Jiang Qi wanted. To be honest, not just Jiang Qi, he wanted it too—very much.

Jiang You couldn't help but lightly lick the wound on his lower lip. The painful sensation seemed to remind him that this was not a dream.

【Our boyfriend?】

Jiang Qi lay on the bed in their subconscious, his fair fingers brushing past the corner of his mouth. He let out a happy smile, as satisfied as a child receiving a piece of candy that belonged only to him.

【Mnh.】

Jiang You lowered his head, the corners of his mouth curving up.

—Bang.

The door opened. As soon as Jiang You raised his head, he saw Ji Yue. He clearly saw the joy on Ji Yue's face upon seeing him.

"Jiang Qi, you're awake?"

Jiang You blinked, suddenly feeling a bit flustered. Ji Yue approached, staring at him for a moment before speaking: "Jiang You, you're awake?"

Jiang You was puzzled: "How did you know it was me?"

Ji Yue smiled: "Just a feeling."

Ji Yue's fingers brushed past Jiang You's eyes, looking at his slightly trembling eyelashes: "Judging by your eyes, Jiang You, sometimes you're really silly."

Seeing Jiang You frown, Ji Yue wasn't scared at all but felt that Jiang You looked very cute like this, making him unable to resist teasing him: "Jiang You, do you still remember what happened earlier?"

"The part where you kissed me." Ji Yue leaned close to Jiang You, kissing his cheek.

Jiang You's fair face flushed red. He pursed his lips, unable to speak for a long time, before finally squeezing out a sentence: "It was... Jiang Qi who kissed you."

Seeing Jiang You shift all the blame onto Jiang Qi, Ji Yue couldn't help but burst into laughter. So adorable.

"Are you sure?"

Jiang You didn't speak. After a while, when the temperature on his face dropped, he said in a low voice, "Not sure."

"Jiang You." Ji Yue reached out to grab a lock of Jiang You's hair. "I haven't confessed to you yet, right?"

Jiang You froze. He recalled Ji Yue's passionate kiss with Jiang Qi in his subconscious; back then, he was lying on the "bed," hearing Ji Yue's confession to Jiang Qi.

Jiang You let out an "mnh."

"I like you, Jiang You. Will you be my boyfriend?"

Ji Yue's face flushed. Although he had already confessed to Jiang Qi, his heart still beat rapidly. He loved one person but seemed to have to shoulder and return two portions of love.

"Okay." Jiang You's cold eyes curved, like flowing water after the early spring snow melted, trickling through Ji Yue's heart.

Because of the heat cycle, Ji Yue had to stay with Jiang You. When he carried Jiang You into the infirmary, he had received scrutinizing looks from the medical staff.

Fortunately, there were suppressants and suppressor sprays on the first floor of the chemistry building, otherwise Ji Yue wouldn't even have made it to the infirmary.

Ji Yue carefully touched Jiang You's fingers. Seeing that the Omega didn't object, he pushed his luck and grabbed his hand, locking their fingers together: "Someone will come to pick you up and take you home later."

Jiang You looked down at their intertwined hands and let out an "mnh."

No one spoke, but no one felt awkward, only a deep sense of contentment in their hearts.

The bell for physical exercise rang, the quietness of the infirmary shattered by the noisy bell. Ji Yue looked into the Omega's beautiful eyes, his mind continuously flashing with the words:

*Such a beautiful Omega is mine!!*

"Jiang You."

"Hmm?"

"I want to mark you, but not now. You're not of age yet..."

Hearing this, Jiang You's face flushed red: "It's... it's not me, it's Jiang Qi!"

Ji Yue naturally knew it was Jiang Qi, but he just wanted to tease Jiang You a bit: "Is it Jiang Qi?"

Jiang You blushed, nodding seriously.

This topic was temporarily dropped.

"Jiang You."

"...Mnh." Jiang You didn't really want to answer.

"I don't like Gu Baiqing. Gu Baiqing is just my childhood friend. He's an Alpha, it's just that his pheromones smell like an Omega's."

Jiang You froze, then nodded expressionlessly: "I know."

"So don't be jealous anymore." Ji Yue smiled squinty-eyed. "My first love is you and Jiang Qi."

"Ji Yue."

"Hmm?"

"Shut up." Jiang You said angrily.

Ji Yue stuffed his hands into his pockets, his smile filling the corners of his eyes. His Omega was truly adorable.
