GBROTAH CH34

Xie Yuanxing didn’t panic or struggle for long before he heard a sound from the person lying on the ground, somewhat like a dream, barely audible.

The room was already dark, and he was wearing a blindfold, unable to see anything. He could only extend his ears, guided by instinct, to get closer.

Then, his face was licked.

Xie Yuanxing’s eyes, beneath the lace blindfold, widened. He covered the licked spot and retreated, stepping back, as X’s muffled chuckle reached his ears: “Baby.”

“So cute.”

Xie Yuanxing’s ears flushed red, and he felt a hint of annoyance: “You tricked me?”

X hissed, lying casually on his back in the darkness without a care for his image. “Didn’t trick you, baby.”

“I really did faint for a moment just now.”

“It hurt too much.”

He reached out and rubbed his neck, tilting his head slightly to look at Xie Yuanxing. In the darkness, his gaze was resolute, filled with a strong sense of aggression.

Yet his tone was teasing, as if completely harmless: “It feels like my neck is cooked from the electricity. Baby, smell it, does it smell like meat?”

The electric collar, with the strongest current near the Alpha gland, how could it not hurt?

Only an SSS physique, with tough skin and thick flesh, could withstand it and wake up after fainting for a moment.

He smiled silently, licking his lips as if savoring a taste.

Anyway, he got to lick it, so it wasn’t a loss.

Xie Yuanxing was fooled by his tone, thinking X was harmless, and also worried that the shock just now had really caused some harm. He leaned closer, fumbling for X’s collar, knowing it was the neck area, and foolishly went to smell it.

“It’s not burnt.”

A hand suddenly pressed against his back. Xie Yuanxing was pushed off balance by the force and fell straight onto X.

He lay sprawled on X’s shoulder, and X’s gentle, laughing voice came from above his head: “Got you, baby.”

Xie Yuanxing remembered that the hand on his lower back, seemingly gentle, was actually holding him firmly, giving him no chance to break free. He thought for a moment, then stopped struggling, reaching out to touch X’s neck. “Does it hurt a lot here?”

Although X was the one who let him hold the electric collar’s switch, Xie Yuanxing hadn’t expected the current to be so strong that it could knock someone unconscious.

He felt a bit of lingering fear and some heartache. His fingertips hooked into the collar’s seam, reaching in to gently touch it.

Body pressed against body, baby nestled in his arms, hooking onto the collar and asking if he was hurting.

X’s breathing suddenly deepened for a moment. The hand pressing against Xie Yuanxing’s back couldn’t help but slide along his spine. “Baby.”

Xie Yuanxing softly said, “Hmm? What’s wrong?”

X paused, his voice muffled, suppressing the displeasure within. “You’re wearing too many thick clothes in winter, I can’t feel baby.”

His hand brushed down, feeling nothing but the slippery fabric of the padded jacket.

Although highly inappropriate, Xie Yuanxing did indeed let out a giggle when he heard that.

Seeing him laugh, X held him and began to act like a spoiled child, “Take it off, baby. The air conditioner is on in the room.”

“You’ll get hot if you keep wearing it.”

Xie Yuanxing was indeed a bit warm. He hesitated, then whispered, “If I take it off, you can’t touch me anywhere.”

X fell into an eerie silence for a moment, then spoke with great difficulty: “I’ll try my best.”

“Is that okay, baby?”

“If baby feels uncomfortable, just press that electric switch.”

Xie Yuanxing reached out and pushed him, indicating he wanted to take off his clothes. He slowly stood up, and while taking off his baggy padded jacket, he said, “Still pressing it?”

“You passed out just now. I was wondering if I should call an ambulance. It was really scary.”

X: “Don’t worry, baby.”

X: “This is an electric collar to calm down Alphas who go berserk during rut. It won’t kill anyone.”

Xie Yuanxing: “But aren’t you a Beta? Why are you wearing this?”

X’s answer was quick, as if he had thought through this reason a million times in his mind: “It’s hard to control myself around baby.”

“I wore this because I was worried baby would be scared of me.”

Like a drooling wolf, craving something, yet voluntarily putting on shackles and handing the key to the innocent lamb.

It was actually true.

And another point was that this collar could help him suppress his own uncontrollable pheromones.

His pheromone disorder was special. Just in case, he had taken two doses of inhibitors before putting it on. The restless pheromones, eager to cling to Xie Yuanxing, were suppressed, masquerading as a harmless Beta.

In the darkness, X watched Xie Yuanxing undress.

Baby was timid and frugal, only taking off the outer padded jacket and refusing to remove more. The close-fitting sweater, however, completely outlined his figure. Perhaps due to his frugality, he wore the ill-fitting sweater anyway, revealing a slender waist.

X discovered for the first time that Xie Yuanxing’s frugality wasn’t entirely useless.

He silently licked his lips, reached out and touched it. It was smooth and delicate, like touching a piece of high-quality warm jade, so soft and tender that it made his mouth water.

He craved it.

Yet, he feigned innocence, asking gently and intimately, “Baby, how did I touch your waist?”

“Did your waist show, or did baby take off all your clothes?”

Xie Yuanxing didn’t know he could see him. His face turned beet red from the mention, and he awkwardly tugged at his clothes. “My clothes are a bit short.”

He muttered in a low voice, complaining, “Who would take off all their clothes? I’m not a pervert.”

X chuckled lightly, his fingers itching to slide down his waist. He resisted, then said, “Me, baby.”

“If baby wants to touch, I can take them off.”

Xie Yuanxing couldn’t handle it. His face was flushed to the roots of his ears. He reached out to push X away. “Don’t… don’t.”

He thought it would take a lot of force to push X away, but X obediently stepped back and asked him, “Baby, did you bring the collar?”

“Where is it?”

Xie Yuanxing pursed his lips, blushing with embarrassment, and nodded, “I brought it. It’s in the pocket of my padded jacket.”

In the pocket.

X prodded his cheek, “Are you being clingy, baby?”

Xie Yuanxing was bewildered, his eyes blinking beneath the blindfold. “What?”

X only chuckled, stroking Xie Yuanxing’s face, “How can my baby be so cute?”

“I like baby so much.”

What?

Xie Yuanxing, with his face being kneaded, was bewildered and naive, like a cat caught and forcibly snuggled by a human.

After X released him, he reached for the black leather collar inside the discarded padded jacket.

Xie Yuanxing felt the cold leather against his neck and didn’t flinch. He heard the click of the metal buckle.

The power in the hallway came back on. A faint light seeped in through the crack under the door, just enough for X to clearly see the scene before him.

A black lace blindfold was tightly tied to his tender face, his nose pushing the lace open slightly, revealing fair and clear skin beneath the lace mesh. Black and white intertwined, creating a color of desire.

Below, on his slender neck, was a black leather collar. He was caught at his vital point, looking just like a cute lamb caught in a trap.

Black suited Xie Yuanxing exceptionally well.

It made him strikingly beautiful, alluring to death.

The hotel room was quiet, so quiet that Xie Yuanxing could hear his own breathing.

Being in a dark environment, and with no one speaking for quite some time, he felt a little uneasy. His lips slightly parted, and he tentatively asked, “Are you still here?”

X reached out and pinched the back of Xie Yuanxing’s neck, his fingers continuously sliding over the mark X had left there. He said hoarsely, “I’m here, baby.”

He gazed obsessively at Xie Yuanxing’s lips as they opened and closed while speaking. He reached out and touched them, his fingertips subtly pushing inwards, feeling a slight dampness. His voice grew even hoarser: “Baby, can I kiss you?”

X’s request had already been marked as dangerous by Xie Yuanxing, who was so scared he immediately tried to retreat.

But his neck was pinched, blocking his escape route. He could only tilt his head, frantically avoiding X’s hand pressed against his lips. “No.”

“No kissing.”

“We agreed before we met. If you keep doing this, I won’t see you next time.”

X’s movements stopped. This sentence was more effective than the pain of the electric shock. He withdrew his hand, staring at his baby, silently licking the wetness from his fingers in the darkness, whispering, “Bad baby.”

“You just know how to string me along.”

He reached out and pulled Xie Yuanxing into his arms, with a bit of frustrated force. “I’m crazy with desire, and baby just won’t let me kiss them.”

“How can I be so pathetic, baby?”

He was dying of craving, only able to secretly lick the baby’s moisture from his fingers.

X rested his chin on Xie Yuanxing’s shoulder hollow, calling out in a sticky, continuous murmur. His voice was low, as if he savored each word in his mouth before speaking it: “Baby, baby, Yuanxing baby.”

Xie Yuanxing felt as if the other person was being clingy. He was a little overwhelmed, his ears burning hot from the incessant calling. His voice softened as well: “Who kisses immediately upon meeting?”

X: “But aren’t we dating, baby?”

X: “Are you trying to back out?”

X spoke with a hint of grievance: “How can you be like this, baby?”

Xie Yuanxing was pressed by the continuous questions and found it difficult to parry. He instinctively played tai chi, “Next time, okay?”

“Next time we meet, I’ll let you kiss me, really. I’m a bit sleepy today.”

X looked deeply at Xie Yuanxing. After a moment, he coaxed softly, “Say it again, baby.”

Xie Yuanxing was extremely embarrassed, but also afraid that this matter wouldn’t pass, so he obediently repeated, “Next time we meet, I’ll let you kiss me, really.”

The next second, his voice sounded again, repeating the words in Xie Yuanxing’s ear.

Xie Yuanxing’s eyes widened in surprise. It took him a moment to realize what it was. “Why are you recording this?!”

X: “I’m afraid baby won’t admit it.”

Xie Yuanxing denied feeling a little guilty about hearing that and instinctively raised his voice: “No way! Delete it now.”

X: “No.”

X: “Baby, didn’t you say you were sleepy? Shall I take baby to sleep?”

Xie Yuanxing was led into a room. When a rough object touched his lips, he froze.

X: “Baby, open your mouth. Time to brush your teeth.”

?

Huh?

Xie Yuanxing’s face flushed crimson. In the darkness, he instinctively reached for the toothbrush near his mouth. “I’ll do it myself.”

X tutted, handed him the toothbrush, picked up a cup, filled it with water, and waited for Xie Yuanxing to finish brushing before offering it.

Xie Yuanxing was forced to take a mouthful of water from X’s hand to rinse his mouth. After two gurgles, he bent over, feeling for the sink, and spat it out.

“How can you see? Are the lights on?”

No, that wouldn’t be it. Even with the blindfold, if the lights were on, there would definitely be light coming through.

X: “Baby, I have good eyesight, I can see a general outline.”

He again put something to Xie Yuanxing’s mouth. “Lemon-flavored mouthwash, baby, open your mouth.”

Xie Yuanxing awkwardly opened his mouth, mumbling, “You don’t have to… “

“Let me do it myself.”

X: “It’s okay, baby, I like doing these things.”

X: “Baby is like my cat, so cute.”

He was beginning to understand his mother’s past obsession with cats. She could squat and watch a cat drink water, utterly focused and motionless.

Their family cat was a royal cat, its status even higher than his, and it often ignored people.

His baby was cuter, though. His baby would acknowledge him.

Xie Yuanxing paused at his words, saying nothing, then spat out the mouthwash, leaving a sweet lemon taste in his mouth.

A warm towel touched his face. X: “Baby, wash your face.”

When Xie Yuanxing took the towel, he actually felt a sense of relief. At least X didn’t say he would help him wash his face.

He was almost nineteen. Being treated like a baby, he couldn’t deny feeling embarrassed, but he also couldn’t bring himself to firmly refuse.

Perhaps it was because he felt cherished.

X quickly tidied himself up, much more roughly than he treated Xie Yuanxing. As he took Xie Yuanxing’s hand and walked towards the bed, he couldn’t resist holding and squeezing it, his tone joyful: “Baby’s hand is so soft.”

“Why aren’t you wearing the watch I gave you, baby? Don’t you like it?”

Xie Yuanxing pursed his lips, “It’s too expensive. I’m afraid I’ll break it.”

X: “It’s not expensive, baby. They’re just crushed diamonds.”

X: “Artificial diamonds are very cheap now. It’s okay if it gets damaged.”

X: “I like seeing baby wear things I give them. Wear it, baby. A fifty thousand yuan watch, if it gets damaged, it gets damaged.”

He casually erased countless zeros from the 5-million-yuan watch, then added, “Shall I buy clothes for baby? I want to see baby wear clothes I buy.”

Xie Yuanxing shook his head, “No, I have clothes to wear. Don’t waste money.”

The watch he had been given, he could return it intact later.

Clothes, on the other hand, came in different sizes, making it difficult to return.

X chuckled softly, “I like baby, and I want to spend money on baby.”

Money was the least important thing to him. The joy he got from dressing up Xie Yuanxing was different.

X led Xie Yuanxing onto the bed, letting Xie Yuanxing lean into his embrace. The winter embrace brought a warm comfort. He whispered, “I’ll hold baby up high, so baby won’t look at anyone else anymore.”

If Xie Yuanxing were to find someone else, it would undoubtedly be someone even better than X.

“What are you talking about,” Xie Yuanxing said, amused and helpless, “There aren’t that many people who would like me.”

X held the person, his chin rubbing against the top of Xie Yuanxing’s head. “Baby, you’re good-looking, you have a good personality, you study well, everything about you is good. You’re my shining baby in my eyes.”

Xie Yuanxing pursed his lips, his heart softening from the compliments, yet he shook his head, “My cousin used to say I was ugly and that I should hide my face with my hair, otherwise I’d scare people away.”

X sneered, “He’s blind. Baby isn’t ugly at all.”

He stroked Xie Yuanxing’s face, rubbing it affectionately, “Baby is very pretty, and even more beautiful in black. It suits baby so much, devastatingly pretty, super alluring.”

His compliments were sincere and passionate, and he pulled the person deeper into his arms, as if hiding a treasure.

Xie Yuanxing hesitated, then softly asked, “Really?”

X: “I’m utterly enchanted by baby. Doesn’t baby believe me?”

X: “I don’t even dare to take off my pants while sleeping with baby, baby.”

X: “If baby doesn’t believe me, you can rub your leg against mine to feel it, but you can’t call me a pervert.”

Xie Yuanxing didn’t want to understand.

But he was also a man, and he was forced to understand, with great embarrassment.

Not only did he not rub, he actually shrunk back.

The person holding him chuckled in a muffled tone, then pulled him back, his voice gentle and doting.

X: “Don’t listen to those people.”

X: “Baby, listen to what the person who loves you says.”

Xie Yuanxing was startled. He buried his face in X’s shoulder, rubbed his cheek against it, and mumbled a low, “Mmm.”

He used to be like this too, but later, the people who loved him disappeared, leaving only those harsh, harsh words.

But thankfully.

Those harsh words would also disappear in the future.

Xie Yuanxing slept curled up in X’s arms, his face buried in X’s shoulder, his body slightly curled, like an insecure child.

X’s initial intention to secretly kiss him after he fell asleep faded. He thought, baby is sleeping so soundly, so defenseless. If he stole a kiss, it would be quite impolite.

Besides, baby had already promised to let him kiss next time they met. If baby tried to deny it, he still had the recording.

Forget it, he thought.

The person in his arms shifted, turning over to face away from him, their face slightly buried, revealing a slender neck. The metal X rested tightly on Xie Yuanxing’s nape, like a brand.

Just like an Omega he had marked.

While he found the thought impolite, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of agitation.

The main thing wasn’t whether it was an Omega or a Beta; it was about marking them.

His pheromones boiled with this thought, then were severely suppressed by the electric collar. Shen Bianye felt a sudden sense of suffocation. He ignored it, and like someone obsessed, he lowered his head and leaned in, searching for his antidote.

A kiss, through the X mark, landed on the back of Xie Yuanxing’s neck.

It was stolen.

When Xie Yuanxing woke up the next morning, his brain was still a bit muddled. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the exquisitely designed lamp.

?

Xie Yuanxing suddenly sat up and found the blindfold neatly placed on the bedside table. The room was empty.

He reached for the blindfold, his face alternating between red and pale. He dared not imagine what a strange sight he must have been wearing it.

It was a sheer lace blindfold, with only the central part blocking vision being solid. The rest was adorned with delicate black lace mesh, exquisite and lighthearted.

His phone buzzed twice. Xie Yuanxing pulled it out of the padded jacket pocket hanging nearby and found several unread messages.

X: “Baby, my school experiment isn’t finished yet, I have to go first. I’m reluctant to leave baby.”

X: “I ordered breakfast for you. Someone will deliver it soon. Eat before you leave.”

X: “Baby, are you awake?”

“Lawyer Han has sent you a friend request.”

Shen Bianye: “Why weren’t you in the dorm last night?”

Shen Bianye: “Never mind.”

Shen Bianye: “The lawyer added you. Contact him if you have anything.”

Xie Yuanxing replied a couple of times to X. When he heard the doorbell ring, he lifted the covers to open the door.

It was the staff pushing a meal cart. Xie Yuanxing stepped aside to let him in, then looked out into the corridor.

A piece of clothing disappeared around the corner, moving very quickly, too fast for Xie Yuanxing to catch.

Shen Bianye came down from the seventeenth floor of the hotel, not by elevator, but by the stairs from the corner. His handsome face showed no expression, perhaps very calm.

He walked to the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon that had been parked directly in front of the door yesterday and saw an orange shared bicycle lying against the car.

He picked up the shared bicycle and saw a long scratch mark on the car body.

The hotel offered valet parking, but yesterday Shen Bianye found it troublesome and parked directly on the road outside the hotel.

Now, seeing the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon scratched by the shared bicycle, he showed no displeasure. He even picked up the shared bicycle nearby and parked it in its proper place.

As Shen Bianye got into the car and closed the door, he took out his phone and called Lu Qiang. “Your car was scratched by a shared bicycle parked next to it.”

Lu Qiang: “If it’s scratched, find the person who parked it and make them pay! What an idiot, parking a shared bicycle next to my car?”

Shen Bianye tutted. He didn’t know who parked the shared bicycle, they were a genius. But everything seemed fine to him today, so he just said, “Alright, why are you cursing?”

“I’ll pay to have it repaired for you.”

“Anyway, I was the one who drove the car out.”

He certainly couldn’t have driven off with a car worth over a million yuan and claim it as his own. He had just used Lu Qiang’s car to go there, so he simply drove it away first.

Lu Qiang: “No, did you pick up money off the ground today?”

“It’s fine to be generous, but you’re so happy to pay for a stranger?”

Shen Bianye’s face hardened: “It’s because of pheromones. I’m not that happy.”

“Alphas are like this. Controlled by pheromones, like animals. Human nature is controlled by animality. During rut, it’s pure beastliness. Pheromones make the body stronger, and also prevent the body from being completely dominated by thought. Mainly, the pheromones like it. I’m not particularly happy or unhappy.”

Lu Qiang, who had been listening to this philosophy of human and animal nature early in the morning, got a headache. “What are you even talking about? Did you go crazy studying at your prestigious university? Is your mental state still normal?”

Shen Bianye: “This and…”

He had just said two words when Lu Qiang urgently stopped him: “Alright, alright, don’t say anymore. And it’s fine if you curse yourself, but don’t drag me into it. I’m an Alpha too.”

“If the car isn’t too scratched, just have the people at the school gate drive it back to me. Don’t even bother repairing it. If you want to drive it, it’s yours to play with.”

Shen Bianye: “No, I’m not planning on driving a Benz for a while.”

When he was trying to fool Xie Yuanxing, he said he had damaged a Benz. To be safe, it was better not to drive it.

Although he felt that, given Xie Yuanxing’s personality, he probably wouldn’t even recognize what a Benz was.

Shen Bianye drove to the school gate, and a man with an unfamiliar face quickly ran up, respectfully took the keys from him, and drove the car away.

He didn’t pay much attention, scanned the situation at the school gate, and stepped inside.

Shen Bianye was tall and wore a trench coat, making him appear even more slender. He walked with his head down, looking at his phone, then looked up ahead, strikingly handsome, like he was in an idol drama.

People passing him couldn’t help but look at him, but he was focused on his phone, leading passersby to believe he was looking at something very important.

Two WeChat accounts.

Both had messages from the same person.

On Shen Bianye’s WeChat, it was: “Xie Yuanxing: Mmm, thank you.”

On X’s WeChat, it was: “Baby: Woke up, got up.”

Baby: “Photo.jpg, eating breakfast.”

Baby: “What about you? Did you eat yet?”

He was the only one who saw these messages, only him.

But for some reason, Shen Bianye felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure.

One was a roommate, one was a boyfriend. Both were “friends,” so why was the distinction so vast?
