From hearing Wen Xiusen say this to being carried upstairs, the young man had been talking all along.
It wasn't until they entered the bedroom that Wen Xiusen put the omega in his arms down, lowered his head to look at his face, and found that the little one's expression was somewhat dazed, as if he was still reacting or perhaps had been frightened too much.
Sensing Wen Xiusen's gaze, the young man raised his eyes blankly and looked at him.
This made Wen Xiusen inexplicably think of a golden shaded cat kept by the owner of a bar during a previous film shooting location.
That little cat, with round eyes, would obediently lift its head whenever its name was called.
Wen Xiusen lowered his head again and kissed the young master gently. His Adam's apple rolled lightly, not very noticeable under the shadow of the collar.
Alpha said, "I'll take a shower first."
Despite Wen Xiusen's constant rushing from Yancheng to Hong Kong and then rushing back to the hospital overnight, even though there was no apparent sign of fatigue on the alpha's exterior, he still had time to carefully tidy up.
The young master, still a bit stunned, nodded in response to the sound.
"En."
When he moved, Wen Xiusen also lifted him up. Watching the man turn into the bathroom, Bo Xiyun, who was sitting alone on the bed, still felt a bit dazed.
Genital tract...
Bo Xiyun had just heard it and hadn't fully understood it yet. Wen Xiusen's explanation was still lingering in his mind. However, the boy still had a dream-like feeling, as if the three words "genital tract" were truly connected to himself.
The genital tract is a part inside the omega's body, located deep within. It slightly descends during the heat period and can be opened. After being topped by an alpha and forming a bond, it can also make one pregnant.
Whether forming a bond or getting pregnant, these things seemed quite distant to the young master. Bo Xiyun thought that he shouldn't consider this issue too much now because he still had a way to go before the heat period, and the genital tract was hidden so deeply that it couldn't be touched.
The young master temporarily convinced himself in this way.
The sound of shallow water in the bathroom had already come through. Bo Xiyun, sitting on the bed, was stunned for a while and then got up, going to another bathroom alone.
He also needed to take a shower.
Bo Xiyun thought while he was in the bathroom. Currently, his thoughts were quite calm. Although he had cried quite miserably when he was in contact with Wen Xiusen for pheromone control the previous night, Bo Xiyun felt that it was due to the stimulation from the glands and was different from the main focus of this time, which was relief in a lower region.[T/N: Feels like I am writing some secret code lol]
So, he should be able to handle it this time?
Moreover, he had so much experience with a whole box of condoms for so many nights before. Bo Xiyun thought that since he had been through so much, there shouldn't be any problem.
Bo Xiyun entered the bathroom, intending to take a shower. At this moment, he realized that he had been so focused on his thoughts that he hadn't even taken off his coat.
The young man quickly took off his clothes. While putting away the coat, his phone slipped out of his pocket, and the screen automatically lit up at this moment.
Bo Xiyun glanced at it, and it was a message from someone.
What truly attracted the young master's attention was not the new message but the missed call.
Bo Xiyun picked up his phone and took a look.
The call was from Bo Er about an hour ago.
The young master raised an eyebrow.
What does the second elder want with him?
At that time, Bo Xiyun was still at the hospital packing things, and the call had come in, but he hadn't answered. Now, seeing the missed call message, Bo Xiyun also considered calling back.
The young master turned to open the message notification.
The new message was from Yu Manzhou.
The information was somewhat lengthy, with some data reports mixed in. Bo Xiyun glanced over it briefly and then chose to play the voice message.
He placed the phone on the cabinet and listened while taking a shower.
Yu Manzhou's report focused on the movements of Bo Er.
After the plan to sell omega overseas was forced to pause, Bo Shang seemed to have suffered a considerable setback.
His urgent pursuit of wealth was likely due to financial issues, and with this plan failing, not only did Bo Shang fail to get quick money, but he also offended overseas forces, digging a pit for himself.
Moreover, Bo Shang had previously concealed the issues, keeping them under wraps. This time, from the news of Young Master Bo falling ill to Hong Kong, the main companies in Bo Er's hands, listed on the stock market, had experienced a significant and rapid drop in the Hong Kong stock index in a short period. Anyone could see how disastrous the losses were.
This was not Bo Xiyun's doing.
He wouldn't directly attack Bo Er; making the target too obvious could easily leave loopholes.
The drastic drop in stock prices this time was clearly a problem Bo Shang created for himself.
Adding insult to injury, Bo Er definitely couldn't sit still now. So even though Bo Xiyun received a call from Bo Er, he roughly guessed the reason.
The message from Yu Manzhou also confirmed this.
In the steam-filled bathroom, the voice continued to play amidst the sound of water.
Yu Manzhou's text message was read out by the mechanical electronic voice.
"Bo Shang urgently met with several media editors overnight, requesting them to publish a piece of news —"
"Bo Xiyun, not a blood relative of the Bo family, but the child of his mother and her ex."
Before this, Bo Er had been urging tabloids to arrange various gossip news, framing Bo Xiyun as not being a biological child of the family.
However, the previous revelations were too obviously targeted at the sea. Now, Bo Shang couldn't bear it any longer and was ready to release this biggest bombshell.
Bo Xiyun, listening to the voice, smirked.
The warm water flowed over the young man's delicate cheeks as he closed his eyes. His long eyelashes became more distinct with the steam.
It was clear that Bo Er was eager to divide the family's assets.
Such an impatient attempt to strip Bo Xiyun of his inheritance rights.
However, Bo Er's calculations were doomed to fail.
Bo Xiyun raised his hand to turn off the water, and the electronic voice became clearer in the now quiet room.
The latter part of the message also discussed this matter.
Bo Xiyun had long ago taken control of the Huifeng Group, gaining control of the majority of Hong Kong media.
Bo Er couldn't instigate rumors anymore.
This way, Bo Shang would soon discover that he couldn't even smoothly snatch the inheritance, and he would surely be infuriated.
In this state, he was not far from a complete collapse.
However, Bo Xiyun thought.
Bo Er, pushed to the extreme, might still do something desperate.
The young master continued to towel dry his hair while lost in thought, causing him to move a bit slower.
It wasn't until he heard a knock on the door that he snapped back to reality.
"What's up?" Bo Xiyun asked.
There was no immediate response from outside the door, and after hearing the young man's voice, the knocking continued.
After a moment, Bo Xiyun realized what was happening.
The bathroom could get stuffy, and it seemed like Wen Xiusen was knocking just to confirm his safety.
Glancing at his phone, Bo Xiyun noticed that he had indeed taken quite a while in the shower.
Bo Xiyun hastily tidied up, putting on a bathrobe before heading out.
Alpha was waiting outside, and upon seeing him, Wen Xiusen lowered his gaze for a moment.
Following Wen Xiusen's line of sight, Bo Xiyun noticed he still held his phone and explained, "I was checking some information, got a bit delayed."
The young master's phone was still lit, displaying the chat interface.
Wen Xiusen seemed about to say something, but as he glanced at the screen and saw Yu Manzhou's name, he abruptly reached out, taking Bo Xiyun's phone.
"Hey...?" Bo Xiyun was surprised as the man took his phone, muted it, and placed it aside.
After placing it down, Wen Xiusen's gaze returned.
In a calm yet slightly husky tone, he said, "I thought you wanted to shower together."
Bo Xiyun blinked, "Sorry..."
He apologized, "Did you wait for me?"
After Wen Xiusen went to the bathroom, the young master had gone to another.
Originally, they could have showered together.
Besides, Bo Xiyun couldn't deny that he had been avoiding thinking about the situation with Hong Kong and Bo Er so intensely during the shower.
Bo Xiyun seriously reflected on it.
Before, when Wen Xiusen was with him, he tended to be distracted.
With these thoughts, the young man slightly tiptoed and gently kissed Wen Xiusen's lips.
Looking into the man's eyes, he whispered, "I'm sorry."
Wen Xiusen looked at him and didn't say anything.
Seemingly easygoing, the initiated kiss eased the tension.
However, as Bo Xiyun got closer, he noticed that Wen Xiusen's eyes still had a deep red tint.
Waiting no longer, Wen Xiusen picked him up again. Stepping to the bedside, alpha used an elbow to hit the switch, turning off the main light on the wall.
A light click echoed.
Now, only a bedside lamp remained, casting a warm yellow glow over the bedroom.
Held tightly at the leg roots, the young master sank into the softness of the bedspread.
Warmer than the snow-white down comforter was the familiar body temperature pressing down on him.
Continuous kisses made the young man's fingertips feel a bit weak from the heat.
"Wait, hold on..."
He still cared about Wen Xiusen's condition.
"Let me, um, remove the restraint first..."
The black strap was still coiled around Wen Xiusen's neck, dutifully restraining the alpha, who had become increasingly restless.
"Thank you."
The man's polite words sounded despite the lack of any guest-like behavior.
"Um...! Wait..."
The delicate, white earlobe suddenly received a gentle bite from the firm set of teeth. Bo Xiyun's ears were already sensitive to touch, and this bite induced an itch and pain that made his eye rims turn slightly red.[T/N: Is it wrong for me to think that this kind of smut is greater than explicit content?]
But the troubles for the young master didn't stop there.
The bathrobe he had just tied was easily undone.
Wen Xiusen had been taken care of by Bo Xiyun for three years. Before the ceremony, even with such intricately designed and delicate formalwear, the man could adeptly help the young master put it on.
And now, it was just removing a loose bathrobe.
Bo Xiyun could undress himself swiftly, but in the blink of an eye, he was shivering from the sudden exposure to the cool air.
Immediately after, he was once again enveloped in warmth.
Wen Xiusen, who had just showered, was also wearing a bathrobe. The faint rustling of fabric rubbing against each other had quietly ceased.
The room became even quieter, and every sound was crystal clear, as if the scorching breath landing on the soft skin left a lingering echo.
The close contact of their bodies further stimulated the release of pheromones, gradually filling the room with the fresh and sweet scent of orange blossoms.
Biting his lip, the young master continued to stare at the collar around alpha's neck. He focused on recalling the method Dr. Sun had told him to remove this collar.
Dr. Sun had explained that this special isolation collar was customized based on alpha's pheromones and couldn't be forcibly removed even by the alpha himself.
The only way to open the collar was to use an omega's pheromones.
Typically, the omega undertaking this task should be the marked partner of the alpha.
Although Bo Xiyun and Wen Xiusen had an exceptionally high compatibility, even if there were markings, Bo Xiyun would find it easier to unlock the collar than other omegas already imprinted by a partner.
The young master fumbled with the black strap. He could sense the material of this isolation collar, and despite the warmth from alpha's body, the collar still felt ice-cold.
The black collar formed a complete circle, seamless and perfect, with only a locking clasp at the fastening point, the place where the omega needed to use their own pheromones to dissolve.
Bo Xiyun, with his lips pursed, breathed heavily, and the continuous light kisses on his ears and neck made his breath somewhat unstable. He finally found the small solid lock, but soon discovered that his own pheromone concentration seemed insufficient.
In his attempts, the wax-like lock seemed to thin slightly under the scorching temperature of alpha's body, yet it still held.
Bo Xiyun let out a low exhale, closed his eyes, blinked away the moisture accumulating on his eyelashes, and then focused again on using pheromones to melt the lock.
This time, the progress of dissolving the lock was still slow. Bo Xiyun's fingertips unintentionally brushed a certain area on alpha's neck, and he sensed something was wrong.
Bo Xiyun was slightly stunned but then placed his fingertip back on the warm skin at the edge of the collar.
He felt that he had made a mistake.
Surprisingly, it was a slightly raised needle puncture.
The young master, having been ill since childhood, was quite familiar with the traces left after needle pricks, despite having been relatively healthy in recent years.
He couldn't be mistaken.
But who would put a needle in such a place?
This position was almost directly piercing into the most vulnerable gland of an alpha.
"Wen... wait a moment."
Bo Xiyun, ignoring the kisses, furrowed his brows and stopped the man's movements, asking, "What's with this needle puncture?"
In the dim light of the night lamp, being so close, they couldn't quite see each other's expressions.
Wen Xiusen fell silent for a moment before finally speaking.
However, Bo Xiyun keenly felt that when he accidentally touched the needle puncture, the muscles on the man's neck reacted noticeably, tensing up.
Bo Xiyun took a silent breath and spoke in a low voice, "Answer me."
Under the warm-toned halo, the young master wore a stern expression.
Strikingly attractive.
Wen Xiusen finally spoke, his voice still carrying a husky tone.
"Before, I injected suppressants."
That night, the night of the confession to Bo Xiyun, Wen Xiusen had suddenly confessed his feelings.
But what caught Bo Xiyun's attention was another crucial detail.
"Injected?" Bo Xiyun questioned. Aren't suppressants usually in the form of a misty drug? Unless there's a need to increase concentration and dosage, they are typically made as solids and taken orally. Why would there be an injection method?
Wen Xiusen had also kept something from him. "Ordinary suppressants won't work for me. To make them effective, I inject a highly concentrated liquid drug."
Bo Xiyun's pupils slightly contracted, finding it hard to believe. "Injected into the gland? What would that feel like?"
Piercing the gland with a needle, what kind of sensation would that bring? Even an external blow targeting the gland could easily knock down a grown alpha.
As if sensing the tremor in the young master's voice, Wen Xiusen's tone became gentler, carrying a soothing undertone. "Yes, below the gland."
He explained, "It's done. Everything's okay."
However, Bo Xiyun's forehead didn't relax. "Why did you...?"
Why would he forcibly inject suppressants? Before finishing the sentence, Bo Xiyun already guessed the reason. That was the day when Wen Xiusen confessed to him.
At that time, Bo Xiyun clearly sensed the territory consciousness of an S level alpha on him, as well as the oppressive feeling when the alpha was slightly out of control.
If he hadn't discovered Wen Xiusen's plan later, the young master might have felt repulsed by the shadow cast that night.
This was also part of the man's plan. Bo Xiyun had sensed that something was wrong because the alpha's pheromones could be dangerous if they went out of control. Once the inherent territory consciousness gained the upper hand, he would truly be capable of forcing omegas.
Considering Wen Xiusen's character, he would have planned everything meticulously, not willing to harm Bo Xiyun.
Until now, the young master truly understood what this "meticulous plan" was all about. To prevent the possible loss of control, Wen Xiusen had directly injected himself with a high concentration of suppressants.
The young master's eyes widened in amazement. "You did it for me..."
The medical information given to him also included the potential consequences of injecting suppressants. Even with limited medical knowledge, Bo Xiyun could guess the potential damage and harm such an action might cause an alpha.
Thinking about Wen Xiusen's sudden onset of heat— the young master, already quite intelligent, even without the reminder, figured out this point.
"So, your early heat is also because of the injected suppressants?" Bo Xiyun asked.
The man's eyes were deep in shadows, and his breathing was low and slow. He seemed to want to remain silent, paused for a moment, then confessed.
"Yes."
The young master remained silent for a moment, and his eye corners unintentionally turned redder.
Alpha kissed him again, whispering very softly near the boy's lips.
"Everything will be okay after the heat is over," Wen Xiusen reassured.
Attempting to compose himself, the young master couldn't help but sniffle, his voice carrying a moist nasal tone.
"Don't do this again in the future."
Wen Xiusen responded in a low voice, "Okay."
Now, the most important issue was to properly go through the heat period. Bo Xiyun raised his hand to unlock the clasp around alpha's neck.
However, after some movement, the young master couldn't help but furrow his brows, looking somewhat troubled. "Why can't I unlock it?"
"Then, leave it be."
Wen Xiusen's kiss descended again, and his voice sounded as if he didn't care at all.
Even when bound so severely, the man's desire for Bo Xiyun remained undiminished.
Alpha finally showed a hint of his special heat. In fact, it was because of his heat that Wen Xiusen spoke so frankly during their conversation just now.
He couldn't resist Bo Xiyun at all. So no matter what the young man asked, Wen Xiusen would tell the truth.
The kiss quickly moved down, and Wen Xiusen added, "Once your pheromones get stronger, we can break out of the quarantine."
The young man nodded seriously, not even noticing the trembling of his taut throat as he thought about the quarantine. He was fully aware of the consequences of his pheromones getting stronger. He felt like he'd been in many battles and was confident that he could handle his heat.
But when Wen Xiusen kissed his neck, he realized he actually had experience with this. His body and mind were both familiar with the sensations of an omega's reaction to stimuli.
Bo Xiyun couldn't even understand it. He was a young man who had been called a "playboy" for years. He was so naive to be completely dominated by someone else, quivering as he was held by the waist.
The sensations below his waist were even more sensitive than those at the base of his neck. When Wen Xiusen covered his lower abdomen, Bo Xiyun's eyes widened.
His neck tensed up, and he realized that this feeling wasn't any easier to deal with than being controlled by pheromones.
Bo Xiyun's eyes were getting redder and redder, and he couldn't help but ask, sounding confused and pitiful, "Didn't we use condoms before?"
Wen Xiusen, who was already hovering over him, looked up, his reddish eyes glowing in the dim light, like red blood diamonds. Although his voice was calm, he asked, "Who did you use them with?"
Bo Xiyun's little remaining sanity had been jumbled up by the kisses, but he felt a sense of danger and instinctively tried to explain.
"Before, a box with two...," he replied. Bo Xiyun had seen the XXL size from Hong Kong, but had forgotten about it.
The alpha's dangerous aura seemed to weaken a little at this point, but as soon as Bo Xiyun reacted to the movement under him, he trembled violently.
"Uh!" he uttered in a broken voice.
The man's voice was so low that the emotion behind it couldn't be discerned. "Let me use them on you," he said.
Bo Xiyun's waist trembled, his lower back and thin spine curved out a beautiful arc. His stuttering inquiries had become even more broken. "Uh...but..."
Wen Xiusen replied, "That was just for show."
In this hazy state, Bo Xiyun remembered a few scattered images from the past.
He and Wen Xiusen had used them before in Hong Kong. In fact, they had done it just to fool Bo Er and his men.
Bo Xiyun had been so annoyed by the older brother's daily surveillance that he thought of getting revenge.
He had originally planned to find a stranger to be his bed partner, but he didn't want to tarnish anyone's reputation.
In the end, Wen Xiusen seemed to be the only suitable option.
So, Bo Xiyun often went to Wen Xiusen's place and slept with the man. He even deliberately opened a box of two condoms, poured on them the pungent smell of cow milk, and threw them out together.
Bo Xiyun adopted a style similar to that of an older brother's underlings when keeping tabs on someone. Before, few people rummaged through the trash bins near Bo Xiyun's residence.
The young master intentionally did this as a tit-for-tat response. It was a game of who could be more disgusting.
Wen Xiusen had actually warned Bo Xiyun about this kind of behavior. The excessive quantity of condoms would make it seem fake if they were meant to deceive others.
However, when Bo Xiyun heard the man's words, he seemed completely unbothered.
"If it's you, it won't be a problem," he said while raising his hand to pat Wen Xiusen's shoulder, sincerely praising him, "If others see it's you, they'll believe it."
Bo Xiyun: "..."
The young one's memories were still somewhat chaotic, but this conversation during the meeting was clear. So clear that Bo Xiyun couldn't understand where he got the confidence and assurance at that time. It seemed like he was setting traps for his future self.
At that time, the young master, who was dismantling the condoms one by one, completely felt that nothing was wrong. He could even understand what Wen Xiusen's ambiguous gaze meant.
Bo Xiyun had no idea what Wen Xiusen was thinking at that time. He only saw the alpha beneath him lift his eyes, his voice hoarse, and he asked in a low voice.
"Do you trust me?"
Obviously, Wen Xiusen had forgotten Bo Xiyun's earnest trust from that time.
Bo Xiyun didn't want to answer; he just wanted to bury himself deep in the blanket and never lift his head again. The young one was still pinned down by the alpha, unable to move, and even the pace of his breathing was controlled by Wen Xiusen.
Looking at the handsome man with deep brows eyes, Bo Xiyun inexplicably remembered what Chen Peng had said before the Golden Elephant Awards ceremony.
He mentioned an S-class alpha. After finally finding a matching omega, that person went all out for half a month from the very beginning.
A chill ran down the young master's spine, and the temperature that had just risen dropped a bit. The moisture in his eyes became denser for a moment.
He asked in confusion, "We... we shouldn't need to do it too many times, right?"
Wen Xiusen fell silent for a moment. During the heat period, an alpha's words and actions would be more straightforward than usual. To the young master's question, his response remained honest.
"I don't know."
However, this was definitely not the answer the young master wanted to hear. Bo Xiyun couldn't help but shiver, and he even struggled, only to be pressed back by the man's hand.
Something hot and huge thing unexpectedly touched him, and Bo Xiyun instinctively lowered his head. However, his attempt to look down was inexplicably blocked by someone.
"Don't look."
The alpha suddenly raised his hand, covering the young man's eyes.
At this moment, with the ferocious erection, it was too intense.
Wen Xiusen didn't want to scare the child.
He tightened his hold on the omega beneath him and comforted him in a soft voice.
"Don't look, be good."
"You might get scared."
[T/N: Bo Xiyun is 19.]
