Early the next morning, Shen Ranxin woke to the sunlight outside the window.
His eyelids burned from the sun, and he instinctively raised a hand to block it, only to find that something was restraining his hand, making it impossible to pull free.
After staring blankly for two seconds, he realized what he was holding in his palm, and his scalp exploded.
Lu Zhi had his entire body wrapped in his arms.
"Ranran..." His voice was hoarse. "I'm tired. Sleep a little longer."
Shen Ranxin sat up from Lu Zhi's arms with a blank expression and lifted the covers for a look.
Great. Neither of them was wearing clothes.
Several dark hickeys were stamped above his collarbone. One look was enough to tell whose handiwork they were.
Shen Ranxin mechanically turned his head to look at Lu Zhi lying beside him.
Silver hair covered his eyes, and the hotel's white blanket only reached his waist, leaving his sturdy upper body completely bare.
What made Shen Ranxin collapse was not that, but the fact that his chest and shoulders—especially his back—were covered in scratch marks.
Just looking at those scratches, Shen Ranxin could imagine how wild last night had been.
He threw back the blanket, intending to wash his face in the bathroom and calm down, but his bare foot first stepped on a cold little bottle.
Only then did Shen Ranxin notice that the hotel floor was an even bigger mess.
Not only were clothes scattered everywhere, but there were also crumpled paper balls among them, along with several empty tranquilizer vials.
Had he used those tranquilizers, or had Lu Zhi?
After getting dressed, Shen Ranxin rushed into the bathroom to wash his face. Only after forcing himself to calm down did he slowly push open the bathroom door.
Lu Zhi could not sleep after his arms had been emptied. He was listlessly lying on the bed, but when he saw Shen Ranxin emerge, he climbed up. "Feeling better? What should we eat today—mmph!"
Shen Ranxin slapped him across the face.
Lu Zhi looked utterly baffled. "Baby, although I like it when you touch me like this, could you give me a heads-up next time? You really make me..."
Gritting his teeth, Shen Ranxin raised his hand again. "Bastard! How dare you! And you're still asking me why?!"
Lu Zhi licked his teeth and, for the first time, stopped Shen Ranxin's descending hand. "You have the nerve to blame me? Hm? Shen Ranxin, do you remember how you left the hospital yesterday? If I hadn't gotten there in time, you would have really been thoroughly devoured by someone else."
Shen Ranxin frowned. "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you? I only went to see Cheng Cheng, and then..."
His head throbbed in waves. He could not remember what happened after that at all.
He only remembered falling into a pitch-black space and seeing a little white ball. After that, he completely lost consciousness. When he woke up again, the person holding him had become Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi leaned closer and looked at the kiss marks on Shen Ranxin's body. "Didn't I say that however long you were gone, I'd make you hurt for just as long?"
Shen Ranxin gritted his teeth. "You—"
"I didn't mark you." Lu Zhi suddenly said, "And I didn't do anything."
"Then what are all these on my body?!"
"Still talking? You nearly pissed me off to death. What's wrong with biting you a couple of times?" Lu Zhi said.
Shen Ranxin froze. "So the tranquilizers all over the floor..."
Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes. "You know, Teacher Shen, you were far too tempting last night. It was really hard to hold back. I had to use up all those tranquilizers just to keep from fucking you to death."
Shen Ranxin opened his mouth and could only weakly say, "Even if I was lured into my susceptible period by an omega's pheromones, you could have given me suppressants. There was no need to use this method..."
To his surprise, Lu Zhi had long prepared for everything and pulled out a suppressant. "I gave you one, but Teacher Shen was still so aroused. Why do you think that was?"
Shen Ranxin turned his head away in embarrassment. "There was no reason."
Lu Zhi said, "Really? Why do I feel like it was because the one holding you was me? Do you remember how you cried out last night?"
Shen Ranxin pounced on him and covered his mouth. "Nonsense! I didn't make any sounds at all!"
"Then go ask next door." Lu Zhi's voice was muffled beneath his palm.
Shen Ranxin said, "...Ask what?"
"Ask whether you sounded good when you cried out last night."
Shen Ranxin said, "!!!!!"
He quickly pulled back his hand and said coldly, "...Pervert!"
Lu Zhi grabbed his phone from beside him, tapped at the screen, and opened an audio file.
Shen Ranxin heard the sound of fabric rubbing in the recording, followed by a crisp slap. Then Lu Zhi's tense voice came through. "Behave."
That was followed by soft, catlike whimpers.
Shen Ranxin could hardly believe that was his own voice?!
No, that was absolutely impossible! He must have been possessed at the time! There was no way such a wanton, coquettish voice could have come out of the mouth of a straight man like him!!!
In the recording, Shen Ranxin suddenly moaned, "Lu Zhi..."
After a long pause, Lu Zhi gave a low laugh. "Mm."
After who knew how long, several empty bottles fell to the floor, and Lu Zhi sighed.
"You little bastard, I don't even know who you're making things difficult for... Hiss, shouldn't those cat claws of yours be trimmed?"
"I have evidence, Teacher Shen." Lu Zhi turned off the nineteen-minute recording and leisurely spun his phone around.
"Delete it!" Shen Ranxin lunged for his phone. "Lu Zhi! Do you want to die? Delete it now!!!"
"I won't." Lu Zhi raised his hand and hid the phone in his pants. "I'm keeping it to listen to in the shower. Teacher Shen's voice is so sexy. What should I do? Just hearing it is enough to make me lose control. I can't imagine how happy my life will be in the future."
Shen Ranxin broke down. "Lu Zhi!!!!"
"Mm, I'm here." Lu Zhi smiled. "What can I do for you, Teacher Shen?"
"What will it take for you to delete that thing?" Shen Ranxin took a deep breath. "As long as you delete it, I can afford the price."
Lu Zhi leaned against the bed. "Does Teacher Shen think I'm someone who lacks money?"
Shen Ranxin clenched his fists. "Then what exactly do you want?"
"Teacher Shen is so cruel. I used up so many tranquilizers to help you last night. This stuff damages the nerves, and I didn't sleep well at all last night. Look at my eyes—aren't they full of bloodshot veins?"
Of course Shen Ranxin knew how harmful tranquilizers were to an Alpha, especially after using so many at once.
More importantly, although he did not clearly remember what had happened last night, he had definitely been lured in by an omega's pheromones, which was why he...
When all was said and done, Lu Zhi really had helped him.
Shen Ranxin turned completely red. Frowning, he felt as though his entire world was coming to an end.
