Someone Wanted Him Dead!

"A-Xiao!" Fu Huai's expression changed abruptly. "Your pheromones..."

Gu Xiao glanced lazily at Fu Huai. "What about them?"

"A-Xiao, how can you even ask that?" Feng Ji was getting anxious. "The scent of your pheromones is practically about to explode!"

Feng Ji was afraid he might do something that would anger A-Xiao.

What a pain.

Gu Xiao clicked his tongue in distaste. Still propping his chin on one hand, he gave his other hand a slight turn, and a purple suppressant appeared in it.

Half a minute later, the suppressant took effect, leaving only a faint scent of irises.

Fu Huai breathed a sigh of relief. "Good thing we had those omegas leave beforehand. Otherwise, we'd have been in trouble."

"What trouble?" Gu Xiao still looked utterly unconcerned. "It's just a rut. What are you all worried about?"

With his pheromones forcibly suppressed inside his body, Gu Xiao felt extremely irritable.

And the more he looked at this group, the more they rubbed him the wrong way.

Everyone still here was an alpha with mental power of at least A+.

Gu Xiao even suspected they were deliberately trying to do something.

Fu Huai asked worriedly, "A-Xiao, do you want to go back and rest?"

"Mm." Gu Xiao glanced at Fu Huai and chuckled. "Then I'll see you tonight."

He had no desire to stay here any longer. This bunch of alphas really pissed him off.

Lu Keyan couldn't help taking two steps forward. "Young Master Gu, then I..."

"Serve Young Master Ji well."

Gu Xiao didn't even look at him. He merely waved a hand and left on his own, with Lin An hurriedly following close on his heels.

Lu Keyan's expression darkened.

What exactly did this man take him for? Was he worth less than a dog?

Even Lin An could follow behind Gu Xiao, yet he couldn't.

"Baby, don't tell me you've fallen for A-Xiao." Ji Chuan pinched Lu Keyan's chin, forcing him to look at him. His lips curved in a smile, but his eyes were cold. "You're not worthy."

Those few words brought Lu Keyan's emotions under control. He asked, "Then who is? You?"

Ji Chuan's expression changed sharply. With a smack, his palm struck Lu Keyan's face.

Five finger marks instantly appeared on his left cheek.

His face swelled.

Instead of getting angry, Lu Keyan smiled and said indistinctly, "Young Master Ji, sorry. I said the wrong thing."

"What's going on? Did this kid upset you?" Feng Ji hadn't noticed anything happening over here. Only when he heard the slap did he walk over, shaking his head with a series of tuts. "A-Chuan, what are you doing? You can't treat a beauty so brutally. Who'll want to be with you otherwise?"

Ji Chuan gave Feng Ji a derisive laugh, not bothering to say anything else.

That laugh made Feng Ji uncomfortable.

Seriously, what was that about?

Ever since he'd seen Ji Chuan on the island, the man had been acting strange.

Now he was even worse.

But the strangest of all was still A-Xiao.

Feng Ji looked a little puzzled. He didn't know whether it was because A-Xiao had come of age, but he was growing more and more mature.

Everything about A-Xiao exuded a sense of being ripe to perfection.

Tempting others to pluck him.

Even he could barely hold back anymore...

If A-Xiao were just an ordinary person, someone might have locked him away long ago.

Feng Ji rubbed his brow, disgusted with himself for coveting his own brother.

He absolutely couldn't let those two find out about these thoughts.

And he certainly couldn't let A-Xiao know.

A-Xiao was an alpha, and so was he!

He wasn't a pervert like Ji Chuan. He had no interest in an alpha-alpha romance.

"Young Master Gu, what's the deal with that pauper?" Lin An put on an indignant air. "He still refuses to be good and drop out. Should we turn up the pressure?"

Gu Xiao shook his head. "No."

"But we could play with him for a while longer," Lin An instantly changed his tune. "He can take so much playing, after all."

Gu Xiao stopped and looked at Lin An.

Lin An nearly stopped breathing. His gaze flickered, refusing to meet Gu Xiao's eyes.

What had gotten into Young Master Gu? Why was he staring straight at him like that?

As Lin An's breathing grew more and more rapid, Gu Xiao patted his shoulder. "Don't mess with Lu Keyan without my orders. Remember that?"

Lu Keyan? Who was that?

Lin An nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "I-I'll remember!"

"Mm." Gu Xiao withdrew his gaze, turned, and continued walking.

Lin An clutched his chest. His heart was about to leap out.

No one could resist Young Master Gu when he was in rut.

He was naturally no exception.

Only after thinking for a while did Lin An realize who "Lu Keyan" was.

It was that outstanding scholarship student.

Lin An's brows drew together slightly in confusion.

He was just a poor scholarship student admitted through special recruitment. What was wrong with offending him?

"You don't need to keep following me." After returning to the dorm, Gu Xiao casually tossed aside his jacket and told Lin An indifferently, "Go back."

Holding Gu Xiao's jacket, Lin An hesitated. He really wanted to say something more, but didn't dare.

He could tell that Young Master Gu was in a bad mood.

Holding back from cursing at him was already an act of tolerance.

But people always liked to take a mile when given an inch.

Lin An said, "Young Master Gu, let me stay and keep serving you."

"You're an alpha," Gu Xiao said unhappily. "What use would keeping you here to serve me be?"

An alpha in rut would see all other alphas as rivals.

Lin An was a fairly useful lackey, and Gu Xiao didn't want to break him just yet.

Those words immediately brought Lin An to his senses.

What had he just said?

Lin An's face filled with fear. "Sorry, Young Master Gu. I-I'll leave right now."

"Get lost."

In the enormous dorm, only he, an alpha in rut, and a few betas attending to him remained.

Actually, Gu Xiao shouldn't have been this uncomfortable. Otherwise, Fu Huai and the others wouldn't have planned such a grand birthday party for him.

It was simply because he wasn't the original owner of this body.

This was Gu Xiao's first time experiencing a rut.

The feeling truly pissed him off.

It was too strange and too disgusting.

His entire body felt as though it were beyond his control.

Nothing like this had ever happened before.

Soaking wet, Gu Xiao lay in the bone-chilling bathtub, his messy black hair obscuring most of his vision.

His white shirt clung to his body, outlining his slender, supple waist.

This body was only nineteen and had yet to develop any substantial muscle.

It very much suited the aesthetic tastes of most men and women.

But in Gu Xiao's eyes, this body was still too weak.

His suit trousers, worth over a hundred thousand, were ruined once soaked.

Gu Xiao casually tossed them out of the bathtub. Only then did he feel considerably more comfortable.

Only a few buttons of his shirt had been loosely undone, and the shirt stays were fastened around his thighs, making it rather difficult to take off.

Gu Xiao couldn't be bothered to struggle with it anymore.

The suppressant didn't seem to be much use.

Soaking himself in cold water worked better.

This damned rut would come once every three months.

Gu Xiao hadn't intended to take it seriously.

But experiencing it just once had already made him deeply uncomfortable.

This uncontrollable physiological cycle put Gu Xiao in a terrible mood.

A body and desires he couldn't control left Gu Xiao feeling deeply insecure.

Lying in the bathtub, Gu Xiao grew groggy.

Even the water temperature slowly rose, only stopping once it reached a comfortable temperature for a bath.

By the time Gu Xiao realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

He forced his eyes open, only to close them again a moment later.

Damn it!

This strange physiological cycle had directly lowered his guard!

Gu Xiao wanted to curse. Who had the gall not only to watch him in his bathroom, but to drug him too!

"Wifey, you really are... far too seductive."

A hoarse, gloomy voice, tinged with a tremor, sounded like an electric current beside Gu Xiao's ear, now distant, now close.

It was an electronic voice. Through the device, he couldn't clearly make out whose voice it was.

Who was he calling "wifey"?

This man had a death wish!

But right now, Gu Xiao couldn't do anything.

He couldn't even open his eyes.

"Wifey, who are you trying to seduce, deliberately dressing like this?"

"Wifey, I really like your black hair. It's so pretty, and so well-behaved."

There probably weren't many people in this world who would dare call Gu Xiao well-behaved.

Who was this outrageously brazen man?!

"Wifey, why do you have to ooze charm every day? Having so many people covet you makes you happy, doesn't it?"

"Wifey, don't look at anyone else, or I'll want to kill you."

"Wifey, happy birthday. Let me give you a present, all right?"

"Wifey, you're so fair. Your skin is so soft."

"...I really want to kill you right now."

"I want to kill you. I want to kill you so badly."

"I want to, so badly... I really want to kill you."

This arrogant bastard, whatever the hell he was, was like a chatterbox.

He rambled on in his ear as though he hadn't spoken for several lifetimes.

Too noisy.

So noisy, and so disgusting.

Gu Xiao had heard it. Someone at this academy wanted to kill him!

Who was the pervert who wanted him dead?

Whoever it was, he would want to find him first, then personally kill, that, bastard!
