Chapter 20: Will Your Partner Be Angry?
Inhibitors were usually injected into the arm. Shen Chi only had one experience with this in total. Last time, he had stabbed randomly and even bent the needle. But Lu Chenzhou was a top Alpha, so if the needle bent, it bent. Ye Suxi was different. He was a soft, delicate little Omega, so Shen Chi had to be careful.
Thus, he bent down, pulled up Ye Suxi’s sleeve, and very carefully inserted the needle.
During this time, he felt someone tugging at his shirt. Hearing the other party ask him to bite him, Shen Chi spoke gently, his voice almost coaxing. “It’s okay. It’ll take effect soon. No one will hurt you.”
Who could have thought that no one hurt him, but he came and bit Shen Chi instead?
The heat made Ye Suxi’s limbs weak, but the strength he used to bite was not to be underestimated. His sharp teeth sank fiercely into the back of Shen Chi’s neck. The Omega began desperately releasing his pheromones, but Shen Chi was a Beta. He was not troubled by pheromones. Besides, Omegas could not mark anyone.
This unbreakable genetic setting forced Ye Suxi’s eyes red.
Why couldn’t he mark him…
Ye Suxi had never believed in any damned love at first sight. It was nothing more than lust at first sight, or pheromones being affected by other pheromones. But Shen Chi was only a Beta. He was beautiful, yes, but Ye Suxi was not ugly either.
He sank into Shen Chi’s gentleness and did not want to leave at all.
Shen Chi clutched his neck. That sudden bite hurt so much he nearly cried.
This was a human neck, not duck neck!
Why did everyone who came along start gnawing on him!
The wild Alpha had bitten him. The male lead gong had bitten him. And now even the male lead shou was doing it too!
Gritting his teeth, Shen Chi pushed Ye Suxi away. He sucked in a breath, then turned back and saw Ye Suxi’s eyes red, as if he had suffered some enormous grievance. Tears fell drop by drop.
His chest tightened.
The one who had been bitten was clearly him!
“You, don’t cry.”
Ye Suxi looked pure and lovely. When he cried, his eyes were slightly red, and there was even a little blood on his parted lips. The blood ruined his purity, yet brought another kind of unique visual pleasure.
Although Shen Chi was straight, he was not blind. Beautiful was beautiful.
He was admiring Ye Suxi here, completely unaware that in other people’s eyes, he himself was the most beautiful scenery.
Ye Suxi cried partly because he wanted Shen Chi to soften toward him, but even more because he was crying over his own powerlessness.
His heat made his whole body weak. He wanted so badly to embrace Shen Chi, but Shen Chi could push him away with ease.
He lowered his tear-reddened eyes and apologized softly. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t hold back just now. Are you okay? Did it hurt when I bit you?”
Since the male lead shou had apologized, there was no need for Shen Chi, a Beta, to fuss over it with a little Omega.
“It’s fine. I’m a Beta. A bite is just a bite.” In order to coax the little Omega not to be sad, he added, “Anyway, it’s not the first time I’ve been bitten.”
Hearing this, Ye Suxi suddenly raised his head.
“Who else bit you?”
Shen Chi did not say specifically, only vaguely replied, “Plenty.”
After hearing this, Ye Suxi nearly ground his teeth to pieces. The young man before him seemed cold and aloof, like a flower on a high mountain, but in truth, he was very gentle. Someone like this was like the brightest star in the night sky. How could no one have discovered him?
Ye Suxi clenched his fists and asked carefully, “Are they your partner? Did you do it willingly?”
Shen Chi’s eyes widened, and he blurted out, “How could that be possible?” After saying that, he thought of Ye Suxi’s identity as the male lead shou, the little Omega who would end up with the male lead gong in the future. Not long ago, Shen Chi had even lied to Lu Chenzhou that he had a boyfriend. There was no helping it. One lie needed countless lies to cover it up. He touched his nose and said softly, “Of course, my partner has bitten me too.”
“You have a boyfriend?!” Ye Suxi stood up all at once. Then he remembered that he had no right to question him and could only say, “Sorry, I’m just surprised. Mr. Shen is so good-looking. Your boyfriend is really lucky.”
Shen Chi smiled weakly. He did not want to continue this topic anymore. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. What if he exposed himself?
“I’ll help you out.”
Ye Suxi said, “Thank you for helping me. I still don’t know your name.”
Shen Chi said, “My name is Shen Chi.”
“My name is Ye Suxi,” Ye Suxi said. “Can we add each other’s contact information?”
Shen Chi had no objection. He took out his phone. Just as they finished adding each other, they heard someone outside shout.
“Excuse me, did an Omega have an accident inside? Do you need help?”
The sweet strawberry pheromones had already spread out. Fortunately, the bar reacted quickly. They had specialized Beta security guards precisely to prevent accidents like this.
Shen Chi was just about to speak when Ye Suxi suddenly grabbed his wrist.
“I… am pretending to be a Beta.” He spoke with difficulty. “Mr. Shen, can you help me hide it?”
His pheromones had already spilled out. How were they supposed to hide it?
Ye Suxi’s gaze was too pitiful. He looked toward Shen Chi as if asking for help. At this moment, Shen Chi seemed like his savior. Only Shen Chi could save him.
Shen Chi glanced at the weak Alpha passed out in the corner. He had completely fainted, so they could temporarily muddle through.
“Fine.”
It was just a Beta pretending to be an Omega. In any case, no one at the bar knew him. Besides, helping the male lead shou did him no harm.
“Then let’s switch. You support me.”
Ye Suxi said gratefully, “Mr. Shen, you’re too kind. Now, lean on me. I’ll take you out.”
Shen Chi was half a head taller than Ye Suxi. Leaning against him felt like bullying him. In the end, he adjusted his posture and only let Ye Suxi support his arm.
When the two came out, all the Beta security guards at the door breathed a sigh of relief.
Pretending to be a weak Omega, Shen Chi apologized to everyone. “Sorry for causing trouble. This waiter already helped me inject the inhibitor. I’m fine now.”
The security guards looked at the soft, delicate but somewhat tall Omega before them and froze for a moment before reacting.
“Sir, do you need us to escort you out now?”
Shen Chi had already completed the mission, so naturally, he did not need to stay any longer.
“Yes, please. Thank you.”
[Ding. Help Ye Suxi get through his heat—completed.]
With the security guards escorting them, the group soon arrived at the bar entrance. But at that moment, a cold, stern voice filled with anger sounded behind Shen Chi.
“Secretary Shen.”
Just those three simple words made alarm bells ring loudly in Shen Chi’s head. He hurriedly let go of Ye Suxi’s supporting hand and even took a step back. That hurried attempt to distance himself from Ye Suxi made Ye Suxi’s expression sink.
“Mr. Shen, is that your partner?”
Shen Chi almost lost control of his expression.
Lu Chenzhou walked closer with a livid face. Then he heard Ye Suxi suddenly say, “Mr. Shen, I bit you once. Will your partner be angry?”
Shen Chi sucked in a sharp breath.
If you want me dead, just say it directly!
This was not a matter of whether his partner would be angry. It was your future partner who was about to get angry!
