Crazy (Lily ABO) - Chapter 30

Teng Lin sent a message to Xin Ruofan from inside the restroom stall, a subtle premonition of unease stirring within her.

Only when everyone else had left did she quietly step out.

Unexpected events always happen without warning. The moment Teng Lin pushed open the restroom door, she saw a woman kneeling at the entrance of the Omega restroom. She instinctively sensed something was wrong and turned to leave, but then she heard a faint, delicate voice: “Help… help me…”

Teng Lin’s steps faltered. She looked at the woman on the floor with a complicated expression, suspecting this might be a trap set by Xin Yufei. Yet, she also couldn’t help but wonder, what if this was truly an accident, and the woman was genuinely unwell?

Her fingertips curled. Teng Lin sighed. “Wait here, I’ll go find someone to help.” She quickly walked towards the main hall, found a waiter by the door, explained the situation, and breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the waiter rush over.

Before she could enter the hall, she heard the waiter’s shout. An alarm blared in her mind, and she rushed back, only to find the entire hallway empty.

Damn it!

Before she could react, she felt a heavy kick to her knee, forcing her to her knees. This was followed by a sharp sting at the back of her neck, as if something had pricked her. Although Teng Lin’s body was relatively thin, an Alpha’s physique and reactions are always quicker than a Beta’s or Omega’s. She forcefully shoved her elbow backward, immediately pushing away the person behind her.

Ignoring her surroundings, Teng Lin clutched the back of her neck and rushed into the restroom, locking herself in one of the stalls. Her body began to feel abnormal. Her breathing became rapid, and within a few seconds, a thin layer of sweat had beaded on her back. Most alarmingly, her lower body was intolerably hot, and a continuous stream of bitter peach pheromones emanated from the gland on the back of her neck.

Was this a estrus?

She forcefully shook her muddled head, pulled out her phone, wanting to contact Xin Ruofan. But then, she thought of the ambush outside the door and instantly realized she couldn’t drag Ruofan into danger as well.

Call the police, I need to call the police…

However, her vision gradually blurred, and her consciousness slowly faded. Her bodily senses seemed to be amplified several times over, sensitively receiving various Omega pheromones in the air, awakening the Alpha’s most primal desires within her. She was certain she was in estrus. Every inch of her body craved everything an Omega could offer, wanting to violently penetrate an Omega’s body.

Marking, knotting, making the Omega her own.

Her limbs gradually became heavy and weak. Before losing consciousness completely, Teng Lin’s trembling hand took off her glasses, and with her last ounce of strength, she clutched them in her hand…

••••

Xin Ruofan imperceptibly frowned, her gaze fixed on the entrance of the hall. Ten minutes had passed, and Teng Lin still hadn’t returned. She contacted her assistant, who was waiting in the chauffeured car, knowing that if danger arose, both the assistant and driver could immediately come to help. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a woman enter the hall, walk directly to Xin Yufei, and whisper something in his ear. Strangely, Xin Yufei’s face gradually turned incredibly grim.

Xin Ruofan’s heart skipped a beat, a ominous premonition rising within her. She quickly quickened her pace, leaving the hall.

Upon reaching the restroom entrance, Xin Ruofan froze for a moment. A strong scent of bitter peach wafted from the adjacent Omega restroom. When she pushed open the Omega restroom door, it further confirmed her suspicions. The potent bitter peach scent made her legs weak. This was the smell of an Alpha in estrus, and the air also contained a faint trace of blood.

An unconscious Omega lay on the floor. Xin Ruofan carefully observed her: her clothes were intact, she had no visible injuries, and she seemed to have simply passed out. It was clear the smell of blood was not coming from her.

Xin Ruofan, enduring her own physical discomfort, raised her hand and knocked on the only locked stall. “Sister Lin? Are you in there?”

No response.

Xin Ruofan called out a few more times, but still, there was no reply. However, this strong bitter peach scent indicated that the person she was looking for was inside. She kicked the door several times, but it remained stubbornly shut. Disregarding etiquette and her image, she ran to the adjacent stall, stepped onto the toilet, and climbed over the partition.

Peering inside, Xin Ruofan’s pupils suddenly constricted, and her eyes immediately turned red.

Teng Lin was sprawled on the floor, unconscious and limp. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and she was tightly clutching her shattered glasses in her hand. Shards of broken glass were deeply embedded in her palm, and the seeping blood dripped down her hand onto the floor.

“Teng Lin! Teng Lin!”

Xin Ruofan climbed over the partition, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed Teng Lin’s name. Just as she was about to touch her, a brute force shoved her away. Her back hit the door panel with a heavy thud, making her wince in pain.

“Go away… go away… don’t touch me…”

Teng Lin, completely drained, lay slumped to one side, repeatedly mumbling “go away.” She was gripping her glasses tightly, and fresh blood continuously welled from her palm.

Xin Ruofan wiped away her tears, her heart aching. As she released more tuberose pheromones to soothe the agitated Alpha, she carefully approached. “Sister Lin, it’s me, it’s Ruofan, it’s your Ruofan…”

At this call, Teng Lin’s dilated pupils wavered slightly, and her tense, guarded body gradually relaxed. Xin Ruofan painstakingly pried Teng Lin’s fingers open, removing the twisted frame and the tiny glass shards deeply embedded in her flesh. She held Teng Lin’s wrist with one hand to prevent her from picking up any more fragments and harming herself. With her other hand, she gently caressed Teng Lin’s cheek, and soon her palm was covered in cold, sticky sweat. She pressed her forehead against Teng Lin’s, tears falling uncontrollably like broken beads.

Sensing the familiar tuberose pheromones, Teng Lin’s consciousness briefly cleared for a moment. She wrapped her uninjured right arm tightly around the Omega in front of her.

It hurt, her whole body ached. She desperately craved the Omega’s comfort. She buried her face in the Omega’s neck, her cool lips rubbing against the skin, as if searching for something. Her lower body kept thrusting its hips, rubbing its already erect penis against the Omega’s thigh.

Xin Ruofan knew. She was looking for her gland. The Alpha in estrus desperately wanted to mark the Omega. Under normal circumstances, she would have eagerly exposed her gland, accepting the mark. But now, the situation was urgent; Teng Lin’s hand injury needed attention.

Xin Ruofan was frantic. Suddenly, she heard her assistant’s call from outside the door.

“Sister Ruofan, are you in there?”
