"What? His gland was damaged? How badly?"
Xie Yan was stunned when he heard Huo Xingye mention the problem with Nan Zhou's gland.
The importance of an Omega's gland went without saying. Besides, Nan Zhou looked perfectly normal, nothing like someone whose gland had been damaged.
Suddenly, he remembered an interview with Lu Zhou he had watched before and immediately asked, "Don't tell me it's so bad he doesn't have pheromones?"
Huo Xingye said nothing.
He didn't know exactly how serious the problem with Nan Zhou's gland was either.
But the pheromone disturbance at M Group today had barely affected him, which was enough to show that it was no small problem.
"Wait, then does he... does he have heats? Can he be marked?"
An Omega who couldn't be marked...
Couldn't soothe an Alpha during a rut, and couldn't bear children. They looked no different from Betas, yet differed from Betas in every way, and were even far worse off.
Thinking of how deeply his friend had fallen, Xie Yan swallowed.
They were screwed. Didn't this mean his friend's love life would have no guarantees for the rest of his life?
"Buddy, maybe you should just..."
"I like him. It has nothing to do with his gender. Whether he's an Alpha, a Beta, or an Omega who's lost his gland, it makes no difference to me."
After saying that, Huo Xingye smiled at Xie Yan. "Besides, it's not as serious as you think."
"How do you know?" Xie Yan asked reflexively.
Then he read something in his friend's meaningful expression.
"Fuck!" Xie Yan yelped.
So much for being friends. Huo Xingye had already marked that little Omega behind his back!
"When did it happen?"
After a while, he couldn't resist prying.
"On my birthday."
"...Honestly, I'm a little jealous." He
