Read And Be Lazy
    Chapter Index

    After class, Xu Yan was about to leave with his bag on his back when he was stopped by an Alpha.

    “Xu Yan, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to be in the same class as you.”

    Xu Yan looked up. He recognized this person, Zhou Zhengyi from the Physical Education Department, who had confessed to him before but was rejected. He didn’t expect to run into him awkwardly again here.

    “Ah, what a coincidence. I’ll go first.”

    Xu Yan tried to walk past him, but Zhou Zhengyi caught up and blocked him between the rows of desks.

    “What’s the rush? I sent you a message a couple of days ago and found out you blocked me. I know you’re a Beta, but I like you regardless of your gender. I like you as a person. Can’t you at least consider me?”

    Xu Yan felt a bit distressed. If he were going to consider it, he would have already. Didn’t this person understand the meaning of rejection?

    “I really don’t have feelings for you. It has nothing to do with my gender. You’re such an excellent Alpha; you can find an Omega who matches you better. There’s no need to keep your sights on me. It’s just a waste of your time.”

    Xu Yan spoke sincerely, advising, “I really am not suitable.”

    Zhou Zhengyi didn’t listen to what he was saying at all. Seeing him slightly tilt his face to look at him, his beautiful face was even softer and cuter than an Omega’s.

    “How are you not suitable? You haven’t even smelled my pheromones. Maybe you’ll like them a lot…”

    As he spoke, Zhou Zhengyi tried to reach out and grab his wrist but suddenly sensed a faint Alpha pheromone scent on him.

    It seemed to have been on him for two or three days and was about to dissipate, so it was hard to smell unless you got close and sniffed carefully.

    Zhou Zhengyi’s expression changed. “Why do you have Alpha pheromones on you? Have you been marked? No, you’re a Beta; you can’t be marked.”

    Taking advantage of his moment of confusion, Xu Yan quickly retreated but bumped into the chest of the person behind him.

    At the same time, a hand was on his waist, carrying a strong sense of possession, pulling him back and turning him so that his delicate body was completely shielded behind him.

    A large hand pressed tightly against his abdomen through the thin fabric, the body temperature scorching as if it could burn through him.

    Before Xu Yan could react, he heard Wen Sinian say, “He said he doesn’t like you. Don’t you understand?”

    Zhou Zhengyi knew Wen Sinian, of course, and knew that his pheromone level was higher than his own. Even in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel defeated, but he still stubbornly asked, “This is between him and me. You’re just his roommate, not his Alpha…”

    Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Zhengyi suddenly smelled a strong top-tier Alpha pheromone crashing down on him like a thunderbolt.

    He needed to hold onto the desk to stand steady. After identifying that this scent was the same as the one he had smelled on Xu Yan earlier, he stood there dumbfounded.

    “You… you…”

    Wen Sinian calmly raised an eyebrow. “Understand?”

    An Alpha deliberately leaving their pheromones on someone carried a strong possessive desire. By doing this, Wen Sinian had already secretly marked Xu Yan as his territory. Others shouldn’t covet even a bit.

    Zhou Zhengyi left, and Xu Yan also came out of Wen Sinian’s arms, straightening his clothes and softly thanking him, “Thank you.”

    “It’s nothing,” Wen Sinian said, looking down at him. “Were you often harassed by Alphas before?”

    Xu Yan: “…It hasn’t been very often.”

    Perhaps because of his gentle appearance, many people mistook him for an Omega, so some Alphas would express their affection. However, some would back off once they knew his gender, while others, like Zhou Zhengyi, didn’t care that he was a Beta and continued to pursue him even after being rejected.

    But recently, things had been much quieter around him.

    The two walked back to the dormitory building together. Xu Yan assumed Wen Sinian wouldn’t be staying in the dormitory, so he said goodbye at the foot of the building.

    However, the Alpha in front of him didn’t respond. Instead, his eyes were deep and fixed on him.

    The tree shade covered them both, with only a bit of lamplight and moonlight filtering through the dense leaves.

    The Alpha’s handsome face suddenly loomed closer. Xu Yan’s body stiffened slightly, and his heart began to pound wildly. He looked up, staring blankly at him.

    Unaware, a blush spread to his earlobes and the side of his neck.

    Wen Sinian gazed at his fair cheeks. The breeze carried the sweet, enticing fragrance from his body into his nostrils.

    What kind of magic, stronger than pheromones, could make his body react the moment he smelled it? It was instinctive, almost like an addiction, and terrifyingly powerful.

    It required immense self-control to resist pulling him into his arms, to not do something beastly to him, and to not mark him.

    “Senior, do you… have something else to say?” Xu Yan asked weakly.

    If he kept looking at him like this, he was afraid his heart would race too fast, and he might faint.

    “Yes,” Wen Sinian said.

    Xu Yan stood obediently. “Go ahead.”

    Wen Sinian asked, “You don’t like that person just now. Do you not like Alphas?”

    Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to ask such a question.

    “I just don’t like him. I don’t dislike Alphas,” Xu Yan hurriedly explained. “All genders are equal to me, really.”

    Seeing the Alpha in front of him looking calm and staring straight at him, Xu Yan added, “I don’t dislike you either.”

    He was afraid of causing a misunderstanding with Wen Sinian.

    “Oh,” Wen Sinian leaned in closer. “Then do you like me?”

    Xu Yan blinked, feeling a rush of heat burning up to his forehead. His face was definitely red now, but he couldn’t suppress it.

    “I… I didn’t mean it that way…”

    Wen Sinian saw him look away, too shy to meet his gaze, and a sweet feeling suddenly surged within him.

    “I like you, Xu Yan,” Wen Sinian said softly. “I like you very much. Would you be willing to be with me?”

    The Alpha’s sudden confession left Xu Yan dazed. He opened his mouth, asking a silly question: “Do you know I’m a Beta?”

    Wen Sinian smiled slightly, brushing the hair from his cheek to behind his ear. “I know.”

    No one knew better than he did.

    “Then do you still like me?”

    “I do.”

    Wen Sinian’s answer was too firm, and Xu Yan’s emotions were stirred by him. His heart felt light, as if it were about to float into the clouds.

    “You can take your time to consider it. Let me know when you’ve decided,” Wen Sinian said. “Starting tomorrow, I’ll move back into the dormitory.”

    ***

    Naturally, Wen Sinian’s things were all moved back, and the two-person dormitory finally had two occupants.

    Wen Sinian didn’t ask Xu Yan again about his decision. Xu Yan wanted to tell him his thoughts but felt too embarrassed to bring it up himself.

    It was just more convenient to live together and accept Wen Sinian’s kindness.

    In the dormitory, there was no shortage of good food and drink. Whenever Wen Sinian discovered something Xu Yan liked to eat, he would buy a lot of it for him. Since Xu Yan couldn’t finish it all by himself, he would reluctantly share it with other dormitories.

    As long as Wen Sinian was free, Xu Yan had someone to accompany him to and from classes. When he stayed up late in the dormitory to finish his homework, Wen Sinian would also be there to guide him or directly help him with it. 

    On weekends, when Xu Yan went to work at the coffee shop, Wen Sinian would either drive to pick him up and drop him off or simply spend the whole day at the coffee shop, buying him breakfast and lunch, and taking him out for a late-night snack after his shift…

    Under such an onslaught, even a rock would melt.

    On their way back after having a late-night snack, Xu Yan kept encouraging himself. Tonight, he must muster the courage to tell Wen Sinian his feelings. He couldn’t keep silently accepting Wen Sinian’s devotion.

    After the car stopped in front of the dormitory building, Wen Sinian seemed to sense that he had something to say. Without rushing, he rolled up all the car windows and pressed the central locking button.

    He trapped the two of them alone in this enclosed space.

    Xu Yan took a deep breath and turned to look at the person beside him.

    The Alpha’s expression was calm and composed, with one hand resting on the center console between them, his fingertips tapping lightly and irregularly, exuding an air of unshakable calm.

    In the air where Xu Yan couldn’t see, the top-tier Alpha’s pheromones had already rapidly spread toward him, enveloping the unaware Beta in an airtight cocoon. Countless invisible tendrils penetrated his fair skin, deeply invading the layers of his body.

    The entire car had already turned into a distorted, pathological magnetic field, opening a terrifying maw, ready to devour the fragile and beautiful Beta at any moment.

    But Xu Yan still felt that Wen Sinian was being too calm.

    “I have something to say,” Xu Yan nervously fiddled with the seatbelt. “The question you asked me that day… ask me again.”

    Wen Sinian rested his head on one hand and turned to look at him. “What question?”

    Xu Yan frowned slightly. “Did you forget? The one you asked me at the foot of the dormitory building, the night before you moved back into the dormitory.”

    Wen Sinian carefully studied his face, finally fixing his gaze on his slightly parted lips.

    They were red and plump, as if containing a pool of water. He wondered if they would also have a sweet fragrance.

    “I seem to have forgotten,” Wen Sinian said. “Can you remind me?”

    Xu Yan pouted. It had only been a few days, and he had already forgotten what he said.

    “Forget it, then. I don’t want to tell you…”

    Xu Yan reached for the car door, but it wouldn’t open. He turned around angrily. “Open it for me.”

    As soon as his lips parted, a hot breath suddenly pressed against him. Before he could react, his lips were skillfully pried open, and his tongue was heavily sucked before retreating.

    Wen Sinian had successfully tasted the juice of the water peach, and it was even more wonderful than he had imagined.

    Xu Yan was stunned by this kiss and immediately covered his mouth with both hands, stammering incoherently, “You… how… you kissed me…”

    Wen Sinian simply reached out to hold his waist, lifting him effortlessly from the passenger seat to sit on his lap.

    He pulled his hands away and licked the corner of his lips again.

    “I was joking. Of course, I wouldn’t forget what I said,” Wen Sinian gazed deeply into his eyes. “Have you decided? Are you willing to be with me?”

    Already kissed, Xu Yan’s cheeks burned fiercely. He turned his gaze away and nodded very slightly.

    With permission granted, the violent pheromones suddenly burst forth.

    Even though Betas couldn’t perceive them, they could still be oppressed by the top-tier Alpha’s pheromones to the point of discomfort.

    Xu Yan felt this for the first time and shifted uncomfortably on Wen Sinian’s lap, asking in confusion, “It feels a bit strange… What’s wrong with you?”

    Wen Sinian kissed his cheek and pressed his waist down, the corners of his lips curving slightly.

    “Baby, I’m in heat.”
