Chapter 25
Looking at the address in the chat box, Yu Yunlan’s fingertips paused in midair.
“Classmate Yu, I’ll wait for you~”
The voice message from before was played. The Alpha’s slightly low voice echoed through the bedroom, the ending tone still somewhat rising, as if hiding a small hook.
But Yu Yunlan caught the trace of weakness concealed in that tone.
Her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and a certain anxious emotion surged in her heart.
After a while, she stood up, changed into an inconspicuous set of casual clothes, and walked outside.
Halfway there, she remembered something and turned back, putting on a mask and hat.
When she walked out of the bedroom, she closed the door and headed toward the outside. Her footsteps carried a silent urgency.
Almost as soon as her figure disappeared by the main door, Yuan Qiaoqiao also came out of her own bedroom and happened to see the door closing.
“Yu Yunlan is going out this late?” Yuan Qiaoqiao had just come out to get water. Hearing the sound of the door closing outside, she raised her head and looked over. Seeing the other girl’s back, she felt somewhat strange.
Why was it that one after another, everyone just happened not to be staying in the dorm tonight? Jiang Wan had gone home, Fang Zhijin was not here either, and now even Yu Yunlan was going out somewhere.
Yuan Qiaoqiao patted her own cheeks. She had drunk alcohol tonight, so her head was a little muddled. She did not think too much about Yu Yunlan going out. Their relationship, in essence, was not actually that close.
She only felt a little like a lonely little cabbage, pitiful and helpless. So she immediately opened her communicator and sent Jiang Wan a message.
: Wuwuwuwu, Wanwan, when are you coming back?
…
The address Fang Zhijin had given was half an hour’s drive from Elite Academy. When Yu Yunlan arrived, it was already close to eleven. This area was a high-end villa district, and taxis could not drive inside, so the driver dropped her off at the main gate.
Night shrouded the place. The weather was frighteningly dark, with large stretches of clouds piling together.
Yu Yunlan had covered her face too thoroughly. In such a high-end residence area, no matter how one looked at her, she seemed suspicious.
The security guard came out from the booth, swept his gaze over the mask on Yu Yunlan’s face, and looked somewhat wary. He asked, “Hello, what’s your name? Where are you from?”
Yu Yunlan pulled her mask down, revealing a cold and beautiful face. She gave her name and said, “I’m here to find someone.”
She noticed that when she said her name, the wary expression on the security guard’s face instantly disappeared.
Probably because Fang Zhijin had notified them in advance, the security guard lowered his head, opened his communicator, looked at the light screen twice, then said, “You’re here to see Miss Fang, right?”
“Mm.”
The security guard turned off his communicator, pointed toward a certain part of the villa district, and said, “Miss Fang lives in that building.”
Perhaps because he realized the person before him might have a good relationship with Fang Zhijin, the security guard’s attitude became especially friendly. He even thoughtfully asked, “Do you need me to take you there?”
Yu Yunlan had already pulled her mask back up. She said, “No need. Thank you.”
Then she turned and entered the dim night.
The villa where Fang Zhijin lived was not too far from the main gate. It only required about a five-minute walk. Yu Yunlan found the place easily.
There was no other reason. This was the only building with all the lights on.
Compared to the other parts of the villa district, this area occupied a slightly wider space. There was greenery all around, but no mosquitoes or insects. The other villas were rather far from here.
This also made the environment here very quiet. Aside from the sound of the wind, no other movement could be caught.
There was a visitor’s doorbell beside the entrance. Yu Yunlan looked at the building in front of her, stood there with her lips pressed together for two seconds, then pressed the bell.
Perhaps Fang Zhijin had set something up, because almost as soon as she pressed it, the gate in front of her opened.
The moment Yu Yunlan stepped inside, muffled thunder sounded in the sky. It seemed like it was about to rain.
Yu Yunlan took a second step. The tail end of the first thunderclap had not yet faded when the second sounded.
The two peals of thunder overlapped in part, coming urgently, as if silently trying to stop something.
Yu Yunlan’s movements did not stop. Just like that, she walked step by step into the villa.
After she fully entered, the villa gate slowly closed behind her.
The sky released a third thunderclap, more intense than the first two, ringing across the entire area as if it wanted to shake the earth.
It seemed like anger, yet also like a kind of powerless helplessness.
The inside of the villa was extremely quiet. Every light was on, forming a complete extreme against the gloomy weather outside. When Yu Yunlan entered, the first-floor hall was very quiet. She did not see Fang Zhijin.
Her communicator vibrated once. The other girl had sent a message.
Only two short words.
: Second floor.
Yu Yunlan raised her head and looked toward the second floor. From this angle, she could only see the corridor, and nothing else.
She lifted her foot.
The half-spiral staircase was very tall. This kind of design was enough for the owner of the house to appreciate the whole place from every angle when going upstairs.
But when Yu Yunlan looked down once, she only felt that this place was somewhat empty. Because the space was large, the furniture and decorations, together with the cool-toned style, gave it not the slightest trace of human warmth.
This thought flashed past, and she arrived on the second floor.
There were several rooms on the second floor, but the other doors were all tightly shut, looking as if no one usually lived there. They should be guest rooms.
Only the door to the room on the left was slightly ajar, leaving a thin crack.
Yu Yunlan stood in front of that door and called, “Fang Zhijin?”
No one answered her.
It had begun raining outside. The rain came with great force, carrying into the villa and covering up the movements inside.
So Yu Yunlan called again, “Fang Zhijin, are you inside?”
Still, no one responded. Even her communicator made no movement.
It was as if the person who had still been sending her messages two minutes ago had evaporated like a bubble.
Yu Yunlan’s heart suddenly panicked for no reason. This panic came out of nowhere, like some kind of fear once carved into her bones.
In the end, she reached out and pushed open the door.
Inside the bedroom, all the lights were still on, illuminating everything so there was nowhere to hide. The room’s arrangement was almost exactly the same as Fang Zhijin’s dorm room at Elite Academy.
And the person she was looking for was lying quietly on the bed, eyes closed and motionless.
Yu Yunlan’s heart tightened, and she walked inside.
“Fang Zhi—”
The person on the bed half-opened her eyes. Lying there with her hair spread across the sheets, she curved the corners of her lips. “Classmate Yu, are you worried about me?”
Yu Yunlan’s lips instantly pressed into a straight line. “Were you pretending to faint just now?”
She could not be blamed for thinking too much. Fang Zhijin had done this before.
Fang Zhijin turned her face and looked directly at her. “I wasn’t. I really didn’t hear you just now.”
Rarely, she did not lie to her. The rain outside the window was too loud, and Fang Zhijin’s consciousness had been somewhat drifting the entire time. She was a little surprised that Yu Yunlan could come upstairs so quickly.
She looked over the person standing not far from the bed. Yu Yunlan was wearing a mask and hat, so her face could not be seen clearly.
Such a beautiful face had to be revealed.
So she smiled at Yu Yunlan. “Classmate Yu, can you come a little closer to me?”
Whether because of the lighting or not, the Alpha’s complexion looked a little too pale, giving people a sense of weakness.
Because of this, Yu Yunlan walked forward a few steps as she said.
Just as she reached the bedside, the person on the bed suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her toward the bed.
Yu Yunlan’s body abruptly pitched forward. By the time she reacted, she had already fallen onto the bed.
The bed beneath her was of very good quality. Faced with this kind of impact, it only gave a faint tremor before quickly returning to stillness.
Fang Zhijin used a bit of skillful force to turn herself over on top of her.
Because of the movement just now, Yu Yunlan’s hat had already fallen to the floor, but neither of them had the leisure to care. The Omega’s smooth black hair spread out, and against the light-colored sheets, it had a kind of alluring feel.
Fang Zhijin’s hair also slid down along her shoulders. Their hair overlapped, carrying a silent intimacy.
The distance between them had suddenly become very close. Yu Yunlan looked at the person above her, close enough to touch, her gaze somewhat stunned.
The bedroom lights were very bright, enough for her to see the other girl’s face clearly. Fang Zhijin had already removed her makeup. Her face was somewhat pale, and it was not because of the lighting. Under these circumstances, the color of her lips looked even more vivid.
Because Yu Yunlan was lying on the bed and pinned beneath her, she could not move. This posture was even more intimate than the one in the storage room.
Yu Yunlan could even feel the soft pressure from Fang Zhijin’s body pressing against her chest.
Fang Zhijin let out a soft laugh. She stretched out a finger and used the outermost joint of her pinky to gently hook the strap of Yu Yunlan’s mask.
She lifted it upward. After the mask was slightly pulled away from the Omega’s face, she gradually tugged it down, revealing that face of ice-like skin and jade-like bone.
Yu Yunlan’s expression was somewhat cold. She even wanted to reach out and push Fang Zhijin away. “Let go of me.”
“Why should I let go, Classmate Yu?” Fang Zhijin used her other hand to press down on Yu Yunlan’s wrist, pinning it against the sheets. Because Yu Yunlan had struggled just now, Fang Zhijin’s index finger happened to slide into the space between her fingers, right where that mole was. It could almost be considered their fingers interlacing.
Yu Yunlan’s movements froze.
Fang Zhijin did not change positions either. Her gaze swept bit by bit over the other girl’s brows and eyes as she said, “Didn’t you come here because you wanted me to help you with a temporary mark?”
Her voice carried a smile, but her eyes carried a certain flirtatious wickedness. “Why are you running now?”
Yu Yunlan came back to herself. She turned her face away and refused to look at the other girl, saying, “I didn’t come here because of that.”
“Then why?” Fang Zhijin asked. Her tone remained careless, clearly not taking Yu Yunlan’s rebuttal seriously.
Yu Yunlan was also stumped by this question.
That was right. Why had she come? When she guessed that something might have happened to the Alpha, her heart had instantly become panicked. She had even been unable to care about anything else and had immediately rushed here.
What exactly was it because of?
Before she could think of an answer, the Alpha’s white birch pheromones quietly emerged in the air.
Yu Yunlan had no defenses at all. After coming into contact with those pheromones, she let out a muffled groan, and her body also trembled.
“See? Classmate Yu, you’re still saying one thing and meaning another.” Fang Zhijin looked at the person beneath her and released even more Alpha pheromones.
The sweet scent of white birch, carrying a slightly charred note, surrounded the Omega beneath her.
Yu Yunlan bit her lower lip, trying hard to control that stimulating feeling.
The Omega pheromones inside her body already longed to get close to Fang Zhijin’s pheromones. They had even been anxious over the white birch pheromones fading away before. Now that they suddenly came into contact with them, the rockrose pheromones immediately surged, trying to spill out.
She had come in a hurry tonight and had not had time to inject G13 at all. In this situation, she temporarily lost composure.
“And your body is so stiff, Classmate Yu.” Fang Zhijin’s voice was light and hoarse. “Let me help you. I’ll use the knowledge points we just learned today. Do you still remember the content?”
Yu Yunlan could not speak. Seeing this, the smile at the corners of Fang Zhijin’s lips deepened. As she spoke, she imitated the class demonstration, first placing her fingertips on Yu Yunlan’s shoulder.
“Then let me properly help you review. First, I need to place my hand on your shoulder to help you relax.” She looked like a helpful, excellent student.
Unfortunately, the person beneath her did not seem to appreciate it.
“I don’t need your temporary mark. Let go.” Yu Yunlan’s voice was cold.
Her body wanted to avoid her to the side, but she was firmly pinned down by a certain Alpha.
Fang Zhijin seemed not to hear what she said at all and only looked troubled. “Why is your body still so stiff?”
“Classmate Yu, if you don’t relax, the temporary mark can’t continue very well. Am I touching you too lightly?”
And so, Fang Zhijin’s previously still fingers began to move, slowly kneading Yu Yunlan’s shoulder.
Yu Yunlan’s body trembled. In her heart, she thought, This bastard. The demonstration in class clearly did not have this movement.
The Omega’s rockrose pheromones finally appeared, like an egg sealed perfectly tight finally cracking open with a small slit.
Seeing this, Fang Zhijin smiled and said, “Classmate Yu, your pheromones have appeared.”
Yu Yunlan’s body was tense. She tried hard to control her breathing, but it was no use. She said, “I really didn’t come here for this.”
“But that’s not what your pheromones are saying,” Fang Zhijin said. “Look, they really are very enthusiastic.”
In the air, the strands of rockrose pheromones that had emerged were already impatiently entangling themselves with the white birch pheromones.
Yu Yunlan had no way to deny it and could only close her eyes in embarrassment.
But the Alpha had no intention of letting her off.
Fang Zhijin maintained the posture of pinning her down, and one hand gently lifted the hair of this novel protagonist. The other girl was wearing casual clothes brought from Domain D, and the fabric was rather stiff.
Originally, because of the posture of lying down, it might not have been very convenient for Fang Zhijin to help with a temporary mark. But just now, Yu Yunlan had turned her head away, directly exposing the back of her neck to the air.
Fang Zhijin tugged down the collar of that shirt a little. Feeling the other girl’s body stiff as wood, she seemed to murmur to herself, “It seems the instructor’s method isn’t very useful. I’ll have to use another method.”
And so, her fingers moved down little by little, sliding over Yu Yunlan’s collarbone, following the stiff fabric downward, passing over the beautiful curve of her side waist, and finally stopping at the boundary between her shirt and pants.
Today, Yu Yunlan had gone out wearing a pair of light gray casual pants, with her shirt hem hanging outside.
Under Yu Yunlan’s incredulous gaze, Fang Zhijin’s fingertips easily slipped in from the hem, entering the space at Yu Yunlan’s waist and lingering there bit by bit.
When she touched a certain place at Yu Yunlan’s waist, Yu Yunlan’s body suddenly went completely soft, and she uncontrollably said, “No… don’t…”
Fang Zhijin realized this might be one of her sensitive spots, so her fingertips stayed there and rubbed it repeatedly. Her mouth said unhurriedly, “Now Classmate Yu has relaxed all at once. It seems that for the next temporary marking lesson, I need to tell the teacher that touching the shoulder isn’t useful for everyone.”
Her eyes were full of teasing and amusement as she slowly added, “For example… you, Classmate Yu.”
This series of movements looked very practiced. The corners of Yu Yunlan’s eyes had already turned bright red, but a sour feeling was blocked in her chest.
When the person above her was about to press her lips to her gland, Yu Yunlan’s wrist harshly broke free from the other girl’s restraint. Then she covered Fang Zhijin’s lips with her palm.
She said, “Exactly how many Omegas have you marked?” And how many people had she said similar words to?
Her expression was clearly cold, yet her tone inexplicably carried a gritted-teeth feeling.
Fang Zhijin tilted her head, thinking over those words.
Seeing this, Yu Yunlan’s expression became even colder. “Thinking for this long? You must have helped temporarily mark many people.”
Sure enough, she really was a very casual Alpha.
“I’m so wronged.” Fang Zhijin leaned over Yu Yunlan. Her lips were covered, yet she did not break free. Instead, she slowly stuck out her tongue and touched the skin of Yu Yunlan’s palm. The tip of her tongue curled slightly, slipping into the gap at the base between Yu Yunlan’s index and middle fingers.
It just happened to reach that black mole. Her tongue covered the mole.
“Deputy Chief, with your keen insight, please judge fairly. From beginning to end, I’ve only ever helped you.”
When she said the four words “Deputy Chief,” it sounded like flirting. By the end of the sentence, she was practically speaking in a breathy voice.
Feeling the warm wetness on her hand, Yu Yunlan’s pupils contracted. From her angle, she could even see the faintly exposed pink tip of the tongue between her fingers. She had not expected Fang Zhijin to do something like this, and immediately pulled her hand back as if shocked by electricity.
The corners of Fang Zhijin’s eyes lifted slightly, forming a vivid, alluring curve. It was practically the complete opposite of the gentle and elegant image she showed outsiders.
The concentration of pheromones in the air grew higher and higher. The gland at the back of Yu Yunlan’s neck was exposed.
Fang Zhijin finally lowered her head again slowly and said, “Now, let me help temporarily mark you…”
Rustle—
At some point, the rain outside the window had become even heavier. Along with the wild wind, it blew the fallen leaves outside. But the villa’s soundproofing was good, blocking most of the movement outside the window.
Yet almost the instant Fang Zhijin was about to touch that gland, another bolt of thunder split the sky. Immediately afterward, all the lights in the villa suddenly went out.
At the same moment, Yu Yunlan felt the Alpha on top of her completely freeze, her shoulders and back tightening. The Alpha pheromones in the air changed, silently carrying a sense of irritability.
This was a sign of being startled and tense.
Something was wrong with Fang Zhijin.
The thought flashed through Yu Yunlan’s mind. She immediately threw everything else to the back of her mind, circled Fang Zhijin’s wrist, and called clearly, “Fang Zhijin, are you all right?”
“Fang Zhijin? Say something.”
“Are you—mm!”
She could not finish her third sentence, because Fang Zhijin moved.
In the darkness, Fang Zhijin aimed her lips at the position of Yu Yunlan’s gland and bit down fully, carrying a certain ruthlessness.
In an instant, white birch pheromones were injected into her body, sweeping through her gland and tangling together with her Omega pheromones, as if dancing with them.
Her gland swelled from the impact of the foreign pheromones, yet there was also a unique numbness to it.
This temporary mark was deeper and fiercer than the last time.
Yu Yunlan had no defenses for a moment. She let out a muffled groan, her breathing rapid. She looked into the empty darkness, her cold and distant eyes now somewhat unfocused.
A continuous stream of Alpha pheromones surged in, making her toes tremble and shake. Her hands also uncontrollably climbed onto Fang Zhijin’s back, her fingers tightening and leaving layers of wrinkles in the fabric.
When the pheromone concentration reached a certain level, Yu Yunlan felt as if she were being watched by many pale eyes.
That feeling disappeared in a flash, but it was enough to make white light flare through Yu Yunlan’s mind.
Yu Yunlan’s gaze scattered…
