FIMA Ch18: Minions

Teeth pierced the gland. Gu Siyuan’s Alpha pheromones—carrying an icy scent like fresh snow and clear tea—surged forward like a tide, enveloping him with an uncompromising stance.

Xie Qingxiao’s spine trembled uncontrollably. Within this trembling, there was both the panic of being possessed and an inexplicable thrill of pleasure. He couldn’t help but blush.

Gu Siyuan seemed to feel his trembling. His hands exerted even more force, pulling him fiercely into his embrace with an extremely forceful and domineering attitude.

Xie Qingxiao’s chin, forced upward, rested against Gu Siyuan’s hard shoulder. The two were pressed together without a single gap.

Accompanied by the surging scent of ice, snow, and clear tea flowing through his body, Xie Qingxiao suddenly felt as if, at this very moment, the two of them had already merged into one, to the point where even their souls were indistinguishable from each other.

He didn’t know how much time had passed. Gu Siyuan raised his head, his eyes gradually clearing. Discovering that the person in front of him seemed completely steeped in his own scent, he curled the corners of his lips in quite a good mood.

At the same time, a splash of bright red caught his eye. He had been too hasty just now and didn’t pay attention to his strength when biting. The blood on the back of Xie Qingxiao’s pale neck was striking.

Gu Siyuan hurriedly let go with both hands, releasing the person, wanting to reach into his pocket to find a tissue or something.

He hadn’t marked an Omega in either of his lifetimes; he only had theoretical experience.

But Xie Qingxiao, feeling the sudden loss of warmth behind him and that rapid pushing motion, only assumed that Gu Siyuan had come to his senses and was now regretting marking him.

His expression changed abruptly, instantly becoming terrifyingly pale and cold. He pursed his lips and gave Gu Siyuan a fierce shove: “Gu Siyuan, you bastard!”

Then, he went to lift his legs and run outside.

Gu Siyuan had always reacted with lightning speed. Detecting the person’s tendency to run, he immediately grabbed him, pulling him back and restraining him in a half-hug, half-embrace: “What’s wrong? Your neck is still bleeding.”

This was the first time Xie Qingxiao had been so angry about being an Omega. His strength and reaction speed were completely inferior. His eyes turned red with anger: “What does it matter to you? Let go of me!”

Gu Siyuan didn’t know if Omegas who had just been temporarily marked were all as emotionally unstable as Xie Qingxiao.

He exerted a little force in his arm, turning the person in his arms around to face him. At the same time, he pinched Xie Qingxiao’s chin with his other hand, stared at him, and asked calmly, “What exactly is wrong? Even if you want to leave, make it clear before you go!”

At this moment, Xie Qingxiao felt as freezing cold as if his whole body had been soaked in snowmelt. Hearing Gu Siyuan’s cold tone made him feel even more chilled and wronged. All Alphas in the world are the same; none of them are any good.

He didn’t want to answer anymore.

But this bit of strength of his was practically nonexistent in Gu Siyuan’s eyes. Instead, he found himself clamped down by an even greater, unquestionable force.

Xie Qingxiao was dying of anger, jumping straight up and down like a frog.

Watching him act like this, Gu Siyuan couldn’t help but let out a scoffing laugh.

Xie Qingxiao felt as if he had been massively insulted. He exerted even more strength, and as he raised his arms to struggle, his bone smashed against the hard wall behind him, emitting a muffled thud.

Gu Siyuan stopped laughing and coaxed in a low voice: “I told you not to thrash around. You hit yourself, right? How’s your hand, does it hurt…”

Hearing this, Xie Qingxiao’s eyes shifted slightly. He immediately played along with his words, hissing and drawing in sharp breaths while suppressing his voice as if in unbearable pain: “Ah… it hurts, it hurts so much. There seems to be a nail on the wall, I hit a nail…”

At this time, the moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, and most of the room was in darkness.

There were indeed quite a few picture frames hanging on the walls of the reading room, and coupled with the fact that no one had managed it for a long time, it wasn’t impossible for a nail to be exposed. If it was rusty, he might even need a tetanus shot.

Gu Siyuan couldn’t see the specific situation clearly. He only remembered how stubborn the person before him had been when his calf was injured like that over a month ago, without showing any weakness. Subconsciously, he believed that he was truly in severe pain this time.

Seeing this, he immediately let go of the person and pulled his arm to check: “How did you hit a nail? It’s this arm that’s hurt, right? Is the skin broken…”

Gu Siyuan pushed up his sleeve, stroking and checking inch by inch, his warm large hand instantly covering the freezing cold.

After carefully checking one arm, he immediately grabbed his other wrist without stopping.

Through the hazy moonlight, Xie Qingxiao watched the movements of the tall figure in front of him. The anxious look on that handsome face didn’t seem faked.

Then why did he reject him before, and why did he push him away just now…

Xie Qingxiao took a breath and gently lowered his head.

When it comes down to it, I just can’t bear to let go. I’m just so starved for love; once I grasp a little bit of warmth, I can’t bear to let it go.

Xie Qingxiao licked his lips and asked softly, “Gu Siyuan, do you look down on me a lot? You used to… seem to mock me constantly, and I think I even got angry back then…”

Having finished checking both arms and only seeing a few red marks without any wounds, Gu Siyuan had already realized this guy was tricking him.

However, he had an inexplicable premonition that everything that had happened before didn’t seem as important as the answer to this question right now.

“No,” Gu Siyuan answered affirmatively.

Perhaps in the very beginning, there was a tiny bit of intention to watch a joke while doing the mission. But that was also because he hadn’t interacted with him and didn’t understand. Later, that disappeared. The Xie Qingxiao of this lifetime was a complete and utter victim.

Holding a tissue, Gu Siyuan gently pressed it against the pale, slender neck of the person in front of him, saying in a flat tone, “In the time it took me to grab a tissue, I don’t know what you were running blindly for. The blood has flowed all the way to the front. Anyone who didn’t know would think I slit your throat.”

Xie Qingxiao raised his hand to touch his neck; his fingertips felt a slight dampness.

He blinked his beautiful, large eyes, feeling that he might have misunderstood something earlier. He thought about it, stared at the person in front of him, and asked in a low voice, “Right after you temporarily marked me just now, you pushed me away to find a tissue to help stop my bleeding…”

Hearing this, Gu Siyuan furrowed his sword-like eyebrows. He raised a hand to stop the topic and said earnestly, “Wait a minute, when did I push you away after marking you? I clearly just let go of you.”

As he spoke, he fell silent for a moment, then continued, “I… I only pushed you right when you first came in. Of course, I was indeed wrong to do that.”

“Oh.” Xie Qingxiao suddenly responded with a smile.

Gu Siyuan glanced at him. He’s smiling already? What was he so angry about just now?

Feeling the freezing coldness of the skin under his palm, he took off his school uniform jacket, draped it over Xie Qingxiao’s shoulders, and then pulled the person out of the library.

As they passed by the doorway, he looked at the large backpack tossed on the floor and asked, “Is this yours?”

“Mn.” Xie Qingxiao nodded sweetly.

Gu Siyuan picked up the bag with one hand and slung it half over his shoulder, while continuing to hold the person’s hand with the other as they walked downstairs: “Let’s go!”

“Okay.” Xie Qingxiao was in an extremely good mood right now. Like a ragdoll, allowing himself to be casually molded and maneuvered, he just silently followed his master’s movements.

Fortunately, it was late, and fortunately, the New Year’s holiday started tomorrow. The teachers, students, and staff at the school had mostly all left.

Otherwise, the way the two of them looked would probably attract a crowd of onlookers.

Halfway there, Xie Qingxiao looked up and around, only to realize the path wasn’t quite right. This was the way to the staff dormitories.

Xie Qingxiao licked his lips and tugged at Gu Siyuan.

Gu Siyuan stopped following the tug. He turned his head to glance at the person and said coldly, “What, you tossed around too hard just now, and now you can’t walk anymore? Do you want a piggyback ride?”

Xie Qingxiao didn’t care about the mocking tone in his words. Instead, he gave him a secretive look, leaned in close, and whispered, “Doing it today… isn’t that a bit too rushed?”

Gu Siyuan’s sword-like eyebrows slanted slightly: “Hmm?”

Seeing this person revert to his usual calm and indifferent appearance, and recalling his fiery, domineering, and unquestionable demeanor in the library earlier, Xie Qingxiao couldn’t help but feel an itch in his throat caused by this contrast.

However, he still retained a point or two of rationality and continued to advise, “We are still high school students. Doing that right now… I’m afraid…”

Gu Siyuan finally understood. He couldn’t help but chuckle lowly, reached out to pinch the person’s chin, stared at him, and scrutinized him for a few moments: “What are you thinking about?”

Xie Qingxiao’s face was deformed between his large palm, but he still insisted, “Isn’t that your dormitory up ahead?”

Everyone in their class knew that Gu Siyuan had been poached by Beichuan High School with extremely excellent conditions. Not only was his tuition fully waived and he had a scholarship, but he even had a single dormitory in the school, living in the same building as the teachers, with very good facilities.

Gu Siyuan suddenly lowered his head, leaning in close to his neck.

As the warm breath sprayed onto the sensitive, tender white neck, Xie Qingxiao instantly shuddered, feeling goosebumps rise all over his body.

Smelling the familiar pheromone scent on Xie Qingxiao’s body, the corners of Gu Siyuan’s mouth curled into a satisfied arc. His voice was low: “You are covered in my scent right now. Could it be that you want to go back to your dorm or straight home like this, to be surrounded and interrogated by people?”

“Ah… oh.” Having gone through such excessive joy and sorrow in such a short period tonight, Xie Qingxiao truly hadn’t noticed this problem.

He had been temporarily marked by Gu Siyuan and was tainted with the Alpha’s pheromone scent. It would take at least a few days to dissipate.

Gu Siyuan continued, “It just so happens that the New Year’s holiday starts tomorrow. Three days passing will be just about enough. Stay at my place for one night first, and as for tomorrow, we’ll see how the situation is.”

Xie Qingxiao’s eyes were hesitant: “Just like that?”

Gu Siyuan pinched his soft cheek and said composedly, “What else? What else do you want to do? I truly couldn’t tell that our Classmate Xie Qingxiao actually had such a dirty mind on the inside…”

Hearing these words, Xie Qingxiao couldn’t help but cough violently.

What… what dirty mind…

Gu Siyuan also had no intention of watching the person be embarrassed anymore. He didn’t press his advantage, just squeezed his hand, turned around, and continued walking.

Suddenly, another tug came from his hand.

Gu Siyuan turned his head, looking at him in silence.

“Just now… you said if I couldn’t walk anymore, you could give me a piggyback ride…” Saying this, Xie Qingxiao raised his bright red face like a white swan and turned his head away.
