Read And Be Lazy
    Chapter Index

    If Wen Sinian knew who Xu Yan was meeting today, he would probably find any excuse to go along.

    Xu Yan deliberately didn’t tell him and wouldn’t let him ask too many questions.

    The arrangements for their engagement had all been made, set for this Saturday, a date specifically chosen by his grandmother as an auspicious day.

    A brother from his hometown heard the news that Xu Yan was getting engaged and invited him to dinner, even giving him an engagement gift, a pair of crystal glass cups.

    Xu Yan repeatedly declined, “Zhuang Sheng-Ge, you don’t need to be so polite. We are only getting engaged, and this gift is too precious. I can’t accept it.”

    Zhuang Sheng smiled and said, “If it’s for you, just accept it. When you get married, I’ll give you a big red envelope. I just didn’t expect that you used to be a little kid following me around, and now, in the blink of an eye, you’re already getting engaged.”

    Xu Yan nodded, “Time flies, doesn’t it?”

    He and Wen Sinian had been in a relationship for almost a year. Engagement, followed by marriage, he had never thought about forming a family with an Alpha, nor had he thought he would be with Wen Sinian for so long. But their relationship had naturally developed to this point.

    Zhuang Sheng had long smelled the strong Alpha pheromones on Xu Yan. Being an Alpha himself, he naturally understood the inherent possessive nature of all Alphas, they marked their partners with pheromones even outside.

    The scent on Xu Yan was so strong that it must have been left on him just before he went out this morning.

    “How is your Alpha?” Zhuang Sheng asked, “Does he usually have strong protective instincts toward you?”

    He deliberately chose a milder word.

    Xu Yan thought for a moment and asked, “Which aspect are you referring to?”

    Zhuang Sheng: “All aspects. For example, can he take good care of you in daily life? Can he help you with your studies and future career? Does he restrict your personal freedom? Does he allow you to meet other Alphas alone?”

    Xu Yan seriously considered and said, “He is very, very good to me and takes good care of me. He even helps me with my homework and studies. But… I didn’t tell him about coming to see you today.”

    Zhuang Sheng had already expected this but still chuckled, “You’re not an Omega, why are you being controlled so strictly?”

    Xu Yan unconsciously defended Wen Sinian, “He’s just worried about me. Before we were together, Alphas always harassed me. Once, he even caught someone doing it. Since then, he has been sensitive to Alphas around me. If he knew you were also an Alpha, he would definitely insist on coming along today. I didn’t bring him because I was afraid you two wouldn’t get along.”

    Zhuang Sheng was in the northern city on a business trip and hadn’t seen Xu Yan for a long time. Xu Yan thought that since it was just a meal, he wouldn’t tell Wen Sinian about it afterward.

    Zhuang Sheng then said, “I don’t have any other meaning. I just want to remind you that if you’ve decided he is the person you want to spend your life with, then you must look beyond gender and purely at his character. As long as he treats you well, gender doesn’t matter.”

    Xu Yan nodded, “I know.”

    After they finished eating, the two walked out of the restaurant together. Xu Yan walked ahead, and Zhuang Sheng noticed a small isolation patch on the back of his neck.

    Logically, Betas didn’t have pheromones, so there was nothing to block.

    Such concealment could only mean that the gland underneath was not presentable.

    Zhuang Sheng was stunned for a few seconds. In his memory, Xu Yan was still that innocent, naive child, but he didn’t expect that he was now an adult who could be temporarily marked by an Alpha partner.

    He asked, “What’s wrong with your gland?”

    Xu Yan immediately raised his hand to cover the back of his neck, his fair fingertips tinged with a hint of pink, looking a bit embarrassed, “No, nothing… maybe a bit allergic. I’m just putting on a patch.”

    Zhuang Sheng didn’t expose him but could faintly sense that the level of pheromones was very high. Even standing this far from Xu Yan, he could feel a strong, overpowering pressure.

    He unconsciously took half a step back, putting some distance between himself and Xu Yan.

    “The pheromones of a top-tier Alpha have a very strong catalytic effect. You know that, right?” Zhuang Sheng said, “Although you are a Beta and can’t be marked, but…”

    He didn’t finish the rest of his sentence, only saying to Xu Yan, “Remember to be careful.”

    The two had already left the restaurant. While waiting for the valet to bring the car around, Zhuang Sheng chatted with Xu Yan about their childhood antics. Zhuang Sheng also asked Xu Yan to greet his grandmother for him, saying that since he had work to do later, he wouldn’t make a special trip to visit. Xu Yan agreed with a smile.

    Just then, Xu Yan suddenly sensed an unusual atmosphere. He reflexively looked up in the distance and indeed saw a figure leaning against a black luxury car, his eyes dark, looking at him.

    Xu Yan’s eyes immediately lit up, and he waved to Wen Sinian in greeting, looking quite surprised.

    Wen Sinian leaned without moving, his gaze shifting from Xu Yan’s smiling eyes to the Alpha beside him.

    It only took Zhuang Sheng 0 seconds to guess who the person in front of him was. Listening to Xu Yan’s happy introduction, “This is Wen Sinian. What a coincidence, he must also be eating here. Should we go say hello?”

    Zhuang Sheng looked at Xu Yan’s innocent and naive face and thought to himself, “Coincidence? He probably doesn’t even know he’s being followed and monitored.”

    Xu Yan led Zhuang Sheng to the car and stood in front of Wen Sinian, quietly asking him, “Why are you here too?”

    Wen Sinian reached out to pull him, his large hand lightly resting on his lower back, making him stand between his legs, leaning gently against him and sniffing his neck.

    Sure enough, he had picked up some other scents again.

    Wen Sinian ground his canine teeth and hooked the corner of his lips at him, his voice gentle, “I happened to be discussing something here. I saw you inside and came out to wait for you to go home.”

    Xu Yan looked back at Zhuang Sheng, meaning “Didn’t I tell you?”

    Zhuang Sheng felt the indescribable hostility emanating from the tall and handsome Alpha in front of him. He forced a smile and took the initiative to extend his hand, “Hello, I’m Zhuang Sheng, Xu Yan’s brother.”

    Wen Sinian rubbed Xu Yan’s waist twice and politely shook his hand in return, “Hello, I’m Wen Sinian.” Then he asked Xu Yan, “I don’t remember you having any brother?”

    Xu Yan explained, “He’s a neighbor brother who lived next to my house. We had a good relationship when we were kids.”

    Wen Sinian understood this—having a good relationship as kids didn’t mean they had a good relationship now.

    He said to Zhuang Sheng, “Sorry, we have something else to do, so we won’t see you off.”

    Zhuang Sheng raised the car keys in his hand, “It’s okay, I drove here.”

    Wen Sinian opened the passenger door, resting his hand on it, and after Xu Yan sat inside, he pulled over the seatbelt and fastened it for him, finally naturally closing the car door.

    He nodded slightly at Zhuang Sheng and then walked to the driver’s seat and got in the car.

    Zhuang Sheng stood silently in place, watching. From such small actions, he could see the usual interaction between the two.

    It seemed Xu Yan was right; he was indeed well taken care of.

    Before the car drove away, Zhuang Sheng also said to Xu Yan, “Let’s meet again next time.”

    On the way home, Wen Sinian drove while releasing some pheromones, quickly driving away the foreign scent on Xu Yan.

    The car was filled with his scent, which made him feel a bit more at ease.

    He was uneasy about Xu Yan meeting a Beta alone, and even more uneasy about him meeting an Alpha alone.

    While waiting at a red light, he suddenly reached over to touch the fair nape of the Beta, his fingers gently peeling off the isolation patch, revealing the slightly red and swollen gland underneath—a sign that a large amount of Alpha pheromones had been injected.

    After so much time, he didn’t know if the gland and reproductive cavity had continued to develop under the catalysis of his pheromones. He should find time to take him to the hospital for a check-up before the engagement.

    Xu Yan didn’t know what Wen Sinian was thinking. He only felt his neck itching from Wen Sinian’s touch and pulled his hand away, pressing the isolation patch back on himself.

    Wen Sinian said, “You don’t need to wear it when you’re with me.”

    Xu Yan turned his head to look at him warily, “I want to wear it. Otherwise, you’ll bite me again.”

    He had been calculating Wen Sinian’s heat cycle. Logically, it should have arrived two days ago, but Wen Sinian still showed no symptoms.

    “You didn’t tell me where you were going this morning just to meet this so-called convenient brother?”

    Xu Yan seemed to think of something and took out his phone to search for “Can Betas be catalyzed to develop by top-tier Alpha pheromones?” He absentmindedly replied, “Yes.”

    Wen Sinian asked again, “What did you talk about?”

    Xu Yan looked at the answers popping up on his phone screen, stunned by the responses. He swiped through them, and there were all kinds of methods.

    Some Betas had differentiated into Omegas, some Betas had their glands damaged from being marked too much, and some Betas, although their reproductive cavities were atrophied, could still conceive if stimulated to mature.

    The more Xu Yan read, the more uneasy he felt. He suddenly touched his abdomen through his clothes.

    A Beta could actually get pregnant?

    He had always assumed he couldn’t have a baby, so every time Wen Sinian bonded with him, he never thought about this, let alone any protective measures. They had hardly done anything…

    If Zhuang Sheng hadn’t reminded him today, he would never have thought about this.

    Wen Sinian seemed to really want to permanently mark him. Although every attempt ended in failure, Wen Sinian never gave up, always bonding with him and staying long enough, afraid that the pheromones in his body would immediately dissipate.

    Did he really want to get him pregnant? Did he really want him to have his baby?

    Xu Yan’s mind had already drifted far away. Wen Sinian called him twice before he heard.

    “Ah, did you call me?”

    Wen Sinian: “What are you thinking about?”

    Xu Yan locked his phone screen. “Nothing. What were you asking me just now?”

    “What did you talk about with that brother?”

    Xu Yan: “He just came to congratulate us on our engagement and gave us an engagement gift. I haven’t seen him for a long time, and we don’t have many common topics now. We just ate and came out.”

    Wen Sinian faintly hummed and didn’t ask further.

    Xu Yan had something on his mind, and it showed on his face. Several times, he wanted to ask Wen Sinian, but the words died on his lips.

    Wen Sinian had already noticed that something was wrong but deliberately didn’t ask, waiting for him to bring it up himself.

    In the evening, Xu Yan went to bed early after taking a shower and started searching online about various Beta gland and reproductive cavity issues, diagnosing himself with several conditions, scaring himself quite a bit.

    Wen Sinian also finished his shower, his body only hastily dried, and he lifted the blanket to pull Xu Yan into his arms, slowly peeling the white skin out of the thick sleepwear, pressing his hot body against him to kiss him.

    “Baby, it’s uncomfortable to sleep in this,” Wen Sinian turned his body over and held him, his large hand cupping his cheek to make him lower his head. The tiger’s mouth just fit into the gap of his lips, slowly kissing his gland. “Can I buy you a sleep dress, okay?”

    Made of real silk, it would match his skin, and touching it would definitely be just as smooth and slick, convenient to lift up from the bottom of the dress.

    The tiny figure trapped between his arms and chest couldn’t move, sensing that he wanted to give him a temporary mark again, suddenly struggling uncooperatively.

    But his feeble strength was like a joke to the strong Alpha. The bulging muscles and veins tightly wrapped around the fair and soft body, creating a powerful visual impact. Just one look stimulated the Alpha to produce even stronger desires for destruction and possession.

    While soothing the emotions of the person in his arms, he recklessly infused his strong pheromones into him.

    The beautiful and slender Beta soon lost the strength to struggle, his body softly collapsing forward, supported by the Alpha’s strong arms, and then leaning back into the scorching embrace.

    Feeling the pheromones in his body become abundant again, the Alpha was finally somewhat satisfied. He released him, pressing his nose deeply against his neck, and began to inhale the sweet scent on his body, treating this scent as if it were a pheromone that could slightly soothe him, unable to stop.

    Xu Yan’s eyes were filled with tears, his gaze moist, obediently being coaxed in the Alpha’s arms. The more he thought, the more wronged he felt, his mouth pouting, and he silently cried.

    Wen Sinian suddenly felt a bit panicked, holding his wet face and gently kissing it, licking away the tears that rolled out.

    “What’s wrong, baby? Don’t cry. Tell me what happened, okay?” His fingers touched his nape. “Did it hurt just now?”

    The gland was fine, but Xu Yan was worried about something else.

    His eyes red, he shook his head, looking at Wen Sinian, his watery eyes as if they could speak.

    Wen Sinian was so distressed by his look that he was worried to death, not daring to force him, only gently coaxing him.

    “What’s wrong then? Did I do something wrong? Did I make you angry?” Wen Sinian leaned in closer, slowly rubbing his lips, the whole scene appearing sweet. “Can I apologize to you? I’m sorry, baby. No matter what, it’s my fault. Don’t cry, okay?”

    Xu Yan raised one of his hands, wiping all his tears onto his back, his voice heavy with a nasal tone, “You… you can’t keep biting me, and you can’t keep going into my reproductive cavity… I’ll break…”

    Wen Sinian paused for a moment, his large hand pressing on his abdomen, slowly massaging it for him. “Does your stomach hurt?”

    Xu Yan shook his head.

    Wen Sinian gently pressed on his thin, white belly. “What about here?”

    Xu Yan shook his head again.

    Wen Sinian was temporarily reassured. No one knew Xu Yan’s physical condition better than he did. He frequently communicated with doctors, and any slight change in Xu Yan’s condition, he could immediately sense.

    Since being taken care of by Wen Sinian, Xu Yan’s health had improved more than twice over. His grandmother had mentioned that Xu Yan used to get sick often, catching a cold and fever from just a little rain. But in the past year, Xu Yan had hardly been sick, only having a couple of minor colds, which Wen Sinian took care of, and he was better in no time.

    But now, seeing him cry so pitifully, Wen Sinian felt a rare sense of helplessness for the first time.

    He didn’t dare to act rashly with him or give him more pheromones.

    He checked his temperature, and he didn’t have a fever.

    Wen Sinian looked at him. “Why can’t I go into the reproductive cavity?”

    Xu Yan’s face turned a bit red, and he looked away. “Just… can’t go in…”

    Wen Sinian suddenly asked, “Are you afraid of getting pregnant?”

    Xu Yan’s eyes suddenly widened, and he turned back to look at him. “How did you know?”

    It seemed he had guessed correctly.
