Ling Changfeng's breath was stagnant.
Through that lonely and deserted back, he seemed to see Xu Xinghe's slightly pale face and slightly trembling eyelashes.
Just like what he had shown in those late nights that should have been fun.Love.
Frightened, bewildered, uneasy, hesitant...
Ling Changfeng's gaze stayed on the scar on the back of Xu Xinghe's neck, and his feverish mind finally calmed down.
He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to make his voice sound as calm as usual: "I was curious and investigated for a while... But then I felt that if it is something you don't want me to know, I will Even if it is forced out through special means, it will not benefit each other. It is better to wait for a certain day, when you decide to let go, or when you need my help, you will take the initiative to tell me."
Xu Xinghe put down his hands, turned around slowly, and looked into Ling Changfeng's eyes.
The warm power in those different pupils made him feel at ease.
"It's possible that I haven't let go. It's just that I have been avoiding this problem in the past, and I don't want to recall it. But now I feel that these things will have to be faced sooner or later. So I should tell you... As for help, I probably need it too."
He once forced himself to forget all that and return to normal life after countless powerless bumps.
He told himself life had to go on, and the easiest way to do that was when that horrible night never happened.
But to this day, he still trembles uncontrollably when his glands are touched.
The scar seemed to be scalded, and any violation would make him feel unspeakable pain and fear.
This seems to have become an instinct, involuntary.
Even if the person who touched him was Ling Changfeng.
Even if he wants to.
"It all started in the early summer of my junior year..." Xu Xinghe said in a low voice, "In late June of that year, the Lambda galaxy delegation came to Capital Planet for a diplomatic and friendly visit, and one of the stops was to my alma mater , Capital University."
After he finished speaking, his eyes drifted out of the window.
On a snowy night with biting cold wind, the night is dark, and the stars and the moon are not visible.
Ling Changfeng sat quietly next to his little spouse, he didn't interrupt from the beginning to the end, but silently held Xu Xinghe's slightly trembling hand, and looked at him gently.
Leave him enough time to recall and think, and wait for him to tell the story of the dark past in his heart.
After a long time, I heard Xu Xinghe continue: "A group of people had a two-day academic exchange there, as well as public lectures. As an outstanding student representative, I accompanied the whole process. On the last night, Capital University They had a big farewell party... did you know we have a masquerade tradition at school?"
Xu Xinghe's eyes passed through the snowy winter outside the window, and returned to the burning hot summer.
Masquerade Ball, one of Capital University's traditional dramatic entertainment programs.
On the night of the ball, young students in fancy costumes and exaggerated masks will dance on the dance floor to their heart's content.
They can't see each other's appearance, and don't know each other's identity. They communicate based on their feelings and find their own dance partners.
"That night, a man in a white suit and a white wolf mask walked up to me. I didn't know who he was. There were dozens of people who went to the Lambda galaxy, and I was only responsible for taking a few of them Visiting the campus, I have no impression of the rest of the people. But I can be sure that he is not the person I am in charge of. I don't know when he noticed me, anyway, that night, he reached out to me... "
"Can I invite you to dance with me? My little gentleman." A tall man wearing a white wolf mask appeared in front of Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe, who was secretly reviewing the final exam while hiding in the corner, raised his head.
The boy who had just passed his twentieth birthday still had a bit of youthfulness in his eyes. He could tell the man's identity as a Lambda from the red flower on the man's chest. If he was a teacher and student of Capital University, Wearing blue flowers.
So he returned a polite and apologetic smile: "Sorry, sir, I can't dance."
"It's okay, I'll teach you." Probably because of the relationship shrouded in the mask, the man's voice sounded particularly deep and deep, but his tone was very gentle.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, his figure was well proportioned and his movements were graceful.
Such a courteous ball gentleman should be very popular, but for some reason, Xu Xinghe always felt that his eyes revealed a kind of madness and enthusiasm that was completely different from his voice.
The moment the gray-brown eyes turned to him, Xu Xinghe froze.
An indescribable feeling of unease rose from the bottom of my heart.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Xu Xinghe felt a tingling pain on his skin.
Omega's instinct made him want to escape here.
"Sorry sir, I suddenly remembered that there is something wrong with the student union, so I'm leaving first." Xu Xinghe got up while talking, and ran out of the banquet hall without looking back amidst the singing and dancing.
Until he walked out of the gate, he could still feel a sticky and terrifying eye chasing him behind him.
Xu Xinghe had no choice but to flee to a crowded place, walking all the way to the snack street outside the school, and the uncomfortable feeling finally disappeared.
Xu Xinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around vigilantly, only to see that the streets were full of college students who came out for a walk to buy supper.
Only then did he feel relieved, and when he looked up, he had already walked to the dessert shop he often visited, so he simply went in and bought a bag of donuts, and carried them back to the dormitory.
Until after nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Xinghe, who was reviewing and preparing for the exam with a donut in his mouth, received a message from the monitor: "Where are you, Xingzi? Mr. Curren is looking for you, and I want to personally thank you for your guidance these two days." He's visiting the campus!"
Mr. Curren was the short, fat middle-aged diplomat he was responsible for accompanying, but the accompanying work had ended in the morning. Xu Xinghe replied casually: "I'm going back to the dormitory to review. The farewell party is over? Then you guys say goodbye to Mr. Ke Luner for me, I won't go."
Class monitor: "What!? You sneaked back to review by yourself?? That's despicable! We're all busy cleaning up the venue!!!"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He suddenly remembered that there was still this matter, so he stood up and said, "Stop howling, Dad is here to help you clean up together."
At half past nine in the evening, there were not many students walking outside.
Most of the teaching buildings were darkened, except for the lights in the library and study room, which were still on all night.
The banquet hall is located in an independent small bungalow, the location is a bit out of the way, and people are generally not allowed to enter after nine o'clock.
When Xu Xinghe walked to the door, he vaguely heard loud dance hall music coming from inside. Guessing that the squad leader and the others were cleaning up and enjoying themselves again, he showed his ID to the doorman: "Student union, come here and do some aftermath work."
The guard couldn't see him, so he lowered his head and let them go.
Xu Xinghe didn't think much about it, he put away his ID and walked in.
Colorful lights swayed on the dance floor, and an impassioned symphony echoed in the hall.
Xu Xinghe walked into the hall, but found no one there.
The inside of the ballroom was clean and had obviously been cleaned.
It's just that for some reason, neither the music nor the lights are related.
Xu Xinghe dialed the monitor's phone in doubt: "Hello? Where are you?"
"I went back to bed to review, what's the matter? Son misses dad?"
"Fuck! Are you still human?!"
"What's the matter? Tomorrow is Luo Yanwang's exam! Have you finished studying?"
"I… "
The sound of "zilazila" suddenly came from the receiver.
Xu Xinghe raised his hand and saw that the network was interrupted, and the signal area was completely blank.
He couldn't help but froze. This is the premier institution of higher learning in Floating Star City. In the past nearly three years at school, he has never encountered the problem of signal interruption.
Xu Xinghe felt that something was wrong, so he turned around and was about to withdraw.
The door slammed shut at this moment.
A man wearing a white wolf mask slowly stepped out of the shadows.
Xu Xinghe's body froze completely.
An unprecedented horror experience swept over.
He felt as if he was in a sea of flames, engulfed, burned, buried...
A scorching tingling sensation crawled up his skin, slightly itchy while slightly painful.
Until such a tingling pain came from the gland, Xu Xinghe finally realized it later——
The man was releasing pheromones to himself.
Alpha pheromones.
Xu Xinghe's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief: "Who are you? What do you want to do?!"
The man wearing the white wolf mask smiled softly, and walked towards him slowly amidst the chaotic lights and the sound of the symphony: "Who am I, you will know soon. As for what I want to do..."
Alpha's pheromones burned even more intensely, surrounding Xu Xinghe: "Can't you guess it, my little mister?"
The flame-like pheromone unscrupulously covered his glands, like a fire snake spitting out a message, gently licking at the taboo area of Omega.
Alpha's bad intentions are clearly visible.
"You are crazy!" In the flames, Xu Xinghe felt his hands and feet were cold, and even his teeth were a little chattering: "How dare you... This is still during the interview... You will be discredited, and you will be arrested and sentenced!"
"Heh." The man laughed, his eyes were full of contempt and joy, "You're so naive, little guy. I'm not the same as that fat-eared diplomat you brought..."
The man approached Xu Xinghe step by step, his eyes almost burning a hole in him: "I will not be caught, nor will I be discredited. On the contrary, I will mark you and bring you back to the Lambda Galaxy. I will Imprison you in the tower day and night until you completely become mine."
"Fuck NM!" Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth and swears, "I don't even know you! Who will follow you back to your ghost planet!?"
"Don't be so resistant." The man stopped in his tracks and smiled softly, "Don't you notice? We are made for each other."
Xu Xinghe was stunned.
His glands are naturally underdeveloped, and his pheromones have no smell, so he was once jokingly called "Beta in Omega skin".
This is indeed the first time in his life that he has perceived Alpha's pheromone so clearly.
But it made him feel sick from the bottom of his heart.
"Bah!" Xu Xinghe spat, gritted his teeth and said, "Ghosts and perverted scum like you are a perfect match!"
Then he ran towards the side door of the banquet hall.
There's an emergency exit there and it won't lock!
