Chapter 72 – The Inferior Omega is Forcibly Loved by the Superior Alpha 23
[Ahem, Lord Ghost Messenger, Omegas can also have relations with Betas. You need to remember that Omegas are at the bottom of the food chain!]
Xiao Ai chimed in with a timely reminder.
An image of him and Shi Heng passionately kissing in the bathroom flashed through Shuang Yu’s mind, and he shivered. It was impossible for something like that to happen between friends. That would be too awkward!
“Ahem, I’ll wash up first then. You wait for me outside.”
Finally realizing the need for propriety, Shuang Yu nodded and no longer insisted.
As he turned away, Shi Heng licked his lips with a hint of regret. He wasn’t staying because he was afraid that seeing Shuang Yu’s naked body would make him lose control. If his identity were revealed this early, it wouldn’t be any fun.
About ten minutes later, a refreshed Shuang Yu walked out of the bathroom. Shi Heng was sitting on a bench with his back to the bathroom, staring into space.
“I’m done. You can go wash up. I’ll go outside for a smoke and wait for you.”
He patted Shi Heng on the shoulder, made a smoking gesture, and walked out first.
Shi Heng, who had been sitting with his legs crossed, stared predatorily at the direction he left. He waited until the door was closed before slowly standing up. If Shuang Yu were still there, he would surely be shocked. It was a powerful presence that even the loosest basketball shorts couldn’t hide!
Shi Heng slowly took off his clothes, revealing startling scratch marks on his back. The marks were no less numerous than the hickeys on Shuang Yu’s body, a testament to how wild their night had been. He walked slowly into the bathroom and entered the stall where Shuang Yu had just showered. The air was thick with damp steam, and the faint scent of his lingering pheromones and shampoo hung in the air.
Shi Heng let out a soft gasp as the image of Shuang Yu showering uncontrollably flashed in his mind again. He turned on the showerhead, and a stream of cold water poured down, yet it couldn’t extinguish the sexy images in his head.
“Hurry up…”
It was as if he could hear Shuang Yu’s urging voice in his ear. He propped himself up against the damp wall with his hands and turned back impatiently, hurrying him to move faster.
“Yu…”
Sexy, low gasps echoed endlessly, completely drowned out by the sound of the running water.
Rumble—
Outside the locker room, a sunshower suddenly began to fall from the clear blue sky.
Drip—drip—
Water dripped from the eaves.
Shuang Yu stared blankly at the sky with a cigarette dangling from his lips. He slowly reached out to catch the water flowing from the eaves. With a slight curl of his lips and the cigarette still in his mouth, he began humming a famous children’s song.
“Little rain, little rain, pitter-patter, big rain, big rain, splish-splash~~ Drip-drop, drip-drop, ding-dong, ding-dong…”
Not far from Shuang Yu, around a corner, Wei Yichen, who had been caught in the downpour and forced to take shelter, shuddered. That song…
The forgotten memories once again flooded his mind.
“Big brother, you don’t like rainy days? But I like them. It feels like every time it rains, Uncle Sky is calling my name. Little rain, little rain, pitter-patter, big rain, big rain, splish-splash~~ Drip-drop, drip-drop, ding-dong, ding-dong~~”
The little boy with the blurry face appeared again. He reached out to catch the rain dripping from the eaves, lightly kicking at the puddles on the ground while happily singing the children’s song.
“Big brother, listen, isn’t Uncle Sky calling me? Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, hehe!”
Rumble—
A loud clap of thunder accompanied by a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, creating a strange spectacle alongside the sun.
Wei Yichen was abruptly jolted from his memories.
The low singing hadn’t stopped. It was as beautiful and captivating as a siren’s song, constantly tempting him to lift the mysterious veil. As if bewitched, he slowly walked towards the corner.
Under the eaves, Ji Shuangyu was looking up at the sky with a slight smile, his right hand catching the raindrops while his left foot gently kicked the ground, creating small splashes. He was humming a children’s song that didn’t fit his age. It wasn’t as innocent and pure as it was in his childhood.
The cigarette dangling from his lips glowed with a faint red light, and his sharp profile, set against the smoke and rain, became even more stunningly beautiful. He looked sexy and languid, elegant yet untamed, and exceptionally alluring.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
Wei Yichen’s heart began to race violently. His mind was in such chaos it felt like it had been split in two. One half tried to wake him up: Fool, don’t be deceived, Ji Mian is your little Omega! The other half completely merged his childhood memories with the current scene, constantly telling him that Ji Shuangyu was the one he had been looking for all along.
“Big brother, listen, isn’t Uncle Sky calling me? Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, hehe!”
The name he couldn’t remember, the face he couldn’t see clearly, gradually became distinct in his mind.
Xiao Yu!
A sharp pain shot through his heart. Wei Yichen clutched his chest tightly and took a step back. He happened to step on a branch on the ground, making a soft sound. The singing stopped abruptly, and Shuang Yu turned hesitantly towards the source of the noise.
Feeling guilty, Wei Yichen quickly hid himself and clutched his wildly beating heart. His eyes, which were bloodshot from lack of sleep and anxiety, were filled with a mixture of disbelief, confusion, and shock.
Shuang Yu stubbed out his cigarette in the trash can and was about to go check. Creak— The locker room door opened, and Shi Heng rushed out with a wide smile, enthusiastically throwing an arm around his shoulder.
“Sorry, have you been waiting long?”
“Were you celebrating New Year’s in there? What took you so long?”
“I’m slow in the shower, sorry. It’s raining, should we wait for it to stop?”
“It’s not a heavy rain, and it’s not far from the dorm. We can just run back.”
Shuang Yu smiled brightly and was the first to dash into the rain.
“Wait for me!”
Shi Heng shouted anxiously. He took off his jacket and chased after him, holding it over both their heads. They ran through the rain, their joyful laughter fading into the distance.
Wei Yichen watched them leave, utterly devastated. He felt a pain in his heart as if it were being sliced by a knife. In his childhood memories, there seemed to be a scene of his little Omega running with him in the rain. But this time, the person by his side was no longer him…
The world was spinning, and the dull ache in his heart was so intense that every breath felt like a pain that pierced his very bones. He trembled, clutching his chest as he slowly squatted down.
Was it Ji Mian?
Or… was it Ji Shuangyu!?
He was going crazy!
Wei Yichen tremblingly took out his phone and dialed his father’s Secretary-General’s number. “Uncle Wang… help me investigate Ji Shuangyu and Ji Mian!”
[Ding, Wei Yichen’s favorability +30. Current favorability: 20.]
[Ding, Vicious Ghost’s resentment -10. Current resentment: 60.]
Xiao Ai’s notifications sounded in Shuang Yu’s mind once again.
***
At the Ji Family Villa.
Ji Weiheng, who had just been released, was furious and slapped Ji Mian across the face. The slap was forceful, sending Ji Mian tumbling to the ground. His right cheek swelled up as high as a steamed bun.
“Useless trash! You can’t even keep Wei Yichen in line! I’ve raised you for so many years for nothing!”
Ji Mian trembled, not even daring to cry too loudly, only whimpering apologies. “I’m sorry, Dad, I don’t know why this happened either…”
“Mianmian, are you okay? Honey, you hit our son so hard, how is he supposed to go out and face people now?”
Ji Mian’s mother, Yan Lan, helped her son up with a pained expression, her eyes red as she complained softly.
The more Ji Weiheng looked at the mother and son, the more irritated he became. He suddenly lifted his foot and kicked Yan Lan in the stomach. Yan Lan was sent flying, clutching her stomach with a muffled groan.
“Mom, Mom, are you okay…”
Terrified, Ji Mian trembled as he started to crawl over to check on his mother’s condition. The brutal Ji Weiheng pulled out his belt and rushed forward, mercilessly whipping the mother and son.
