    Leaving a mark.

    “Get lost!” Pei Xuezhi said.

    She directly slapped away the hand Fu Chaoyun reached out, while simultaneously forcing herself to stand up again through sheer will.

    Fu Chaoyun didn’t dodge, allowing the other to push her away like that. Pei Xuezhi stood, and she rose with her, her gaze fixed forward, merely insisting on repeating one point.

    “You need to be marked right now.”

    “Get lost!!”

    Pei Xuezhi’s voice grew louder, but because she was in her heat period, it didn’t sound fierce. Instead, it was low and husky, carrying a natural allure, tinged with a certain ambiguous, captivating entanglement.

    “I told you to get lost, didn’t you hear me?! Fu Chaoyun, you’re so shameless1…”

    Pei Xuezhi spat harsh words, the grapefruit-scented pheromones in the air having already reached an extreme intensity. The Omega was finding it extremely difficult to bear at this moment; she waved her hand, trying to drive Fu Chaoyun out, intending to handle it herself afterward.

    The next second.

    The Alpha stepped forward, and her hand was seized by the other, unable to move. When she looked down again, a deep luster had already appeared in her eyes.

    “You know I’ve never cared about face,” Fu Chaoyun said, without a hint of embarrassment in her words. She asked again, “So, may I mark you now?”

    This wasn’t an inquiry, but coercion.

    Yet even so, coming from Fu Chaoyun, it was still asked again and again, always wrapped in a shell of gentleness.

    She wanted to hear her say “yes” with her own ears.

    Force was used in that grip, as if she had made up her mind, no longer loose and slack like before, allowing her to break free at will. Pei Xuezhi knew she couldn’t escape; a trace of a mocking curve touched her lips.

    “Learned this from TV again?”

    From surprise to downfall… Pei Xuezhi would likely remember this forever, harboring resentment, bringing it up from time to time in the future.

    “No.”

    If this were the usual Fu Chaoyun, she would have added a witty remark or two afterward to liven the atmosphere, but that was all gone now.

    The Alpha stood before her, amber eyes so rich they looked like they could drip honey, yet she had become as taciturn as herself. This only further highlighted her other side—

    Gentle yet forceful.

    The irresistible dominance belonging to an Alpha, and even more so, belonging to Fu Chaoyun.

    “Oh~ So Jiejie thought of this herself.”

    Pei Xuezhi looked up again, eyes narrowed, the corners reddened by the flush, yet still unyielding, teeth clenched, the mockery deepening.

    “But do you even know how? Aren’t you… incapable?”

    The malice in her deep, dark eyes was unconcealed; after all, Fu Chaoyun had controlled herself the previous times, hadn’t she?

    She did.

    Of course, she did. An Alpha’s nature was like a wild beast’s hunting instinct, innate, carved into the bone.

    【Aaaah!】

    Inside her head, the System started screaming again.

    【Stop, stop! I just told you to coax Pei Xuezhi, not to force her! You can’t do things that harm the female lead, and she’s resisting so much right now, your emotions, your body, they haven’t been triggered at all…】

    The System hadn’t finished speaking when it was stunned by the scene before it.

    Pei Xuezhi opposite her was distressed yet alluring, but now, on Fu Chaoyun’s seemingly calm face, her eyes were also tinged with crimson.

    It shouldn’t be…

    She shouldn’t have such intense emotions…

    How is that possible?!

    This time, Fu Chaoyun naturally ignored the System. One hand restrained Pei Xuezhi’s movements, while the other reached out to stroke Pei Xuezhi’s hair.

    This time it wasn’t as simple as just hooking a few strands; she reached over, bending her fingers, and pressed the back of her knuckles against Pei Xuezhi’s flushed cheek.

    “Zhizhi can give it a try.”

    Because of Pei Xuezhi’s resistance, Fu Chaoyun’s body hadn’t been immediately plunged into a state of frenzy this time; it was still slightly cool. Now, pressed against Pei Xuezhi’s cheek, hot from the heat period, a coolness spread.

    “Ngh~”

    Pei Xuezhi couldn’t help but let out a soft hum.

    Extremely comfortable.

    Even though her consciousness rejected it, this Omega body had entangled with the other countless times in the past. It was so disappointing, still carrying memories of the past. It recognized the Alpha before it, the one who had brought it countless pleasures, and just a light touch was enough to make it go completely soft.

    Only then did Fu Chaoyun reveal a faint smile, saying softly, “Zhizhi likes it, right?”

    Pei Xuezhi seemed furious at this reaction. She pressed her lips together, refusing to let any more suggestive sounds escape.

    But the Alpha before her grew increasingly base2. She just wanted to hear the Omega yield. Taking advantage of the fact that the other was weakened by her heat period, that hand repeatedly brushed against various parts of Pei Xuezhi’s cheek, finally sliding along the jawline, forcing the Omega to look up, tracing the neck, moving backward, and finally landing on her scent gland.

    Pressing down with some force!

    “Ngh~!”

    A low moan could no longer be suppressed, spilling from the corner of Pei Xuezhi’s mouth. The Omega, eyes rimmed red, glared fiercely. “Then let’s see what Jiejie is capable of!”

    But now her cheeks, the corners of her eyes, the roots of her ears were all red. Her dark eyes even held a watery sheen, tinged with the haze of arousal. She didn’t look fierce at all, only unspeakably soft and alluring.

    As if her long-cherished wish had been granted, Fu Chaoyun let out a low chuckle and leaned close to Pei Xuezhi’s ear. “Shall we go to Zhizhi’s room then?”

    Pei Xuezhi just glared at her.

    “Not speaking means you agree.” Fu Chaoyun’s fingertips continued to stroke the gland on the back of Pei Xuezhi’s neck—the place where she would soon leave her mark—then suddenly pulled her into an embrace.

    Only a low voice was heard at the end.

    “There’s air conditioning in the room, it should be more comfortable…”


    The System didn’t know how things had developed to this point—

    In the bedroom, on the bed.

    Smooth, ink-black hair spilled across the sheets, especially with a beauty possessing skin like ice and bones like jade3 lying there, radiating alluring pheromones!

    It had seen this scene many times before, only the location had changed from the dating show villa to Pei Xuezhi’s small rented apartment, and the current bed was slightly smaller, with no cameras around.

    But this was even more intimate!

    The System was a bit dazed.

    Really… is she going to mark her?

    This clearly wasn’t the best time, far worse than the previous occasions. Those times, Pei Xuezhi hadn’t resisted, and it seemed things were about to happen naturally4, but right at the crucial moment5, Fu Chaoyun had managed to control herself. Back then, the atmosphere was perfect, endlessly suggestive, even reaching the point of mutual consent.

    But this time, the two were clearly still in a cold war! Pei Xuezhi had yelled “Get lost” several times already, how… how did these two end up rolling onto the bed together like this?

    Was an Alpha’s ability in the ABO world really that powerful?

    The System didn’t get it. But just moments ago it was clamoring for Fu Chaoyun to coax Pei Xuezhi; now, it just wanted to save itself.

    【Wait, you can’t do this! Pei Xuezhi refused, she’s just acting out of spite right now! If you really mark her, you’ll completely offend her to death, all your future paths will be blocked…】

    Seeing that Fu Chaoyun showed no reaction no matter how it cried and pleaded, the System’s mind snapped, and it played its final trump card.

    【Think about the kitty, Nao Nao, that second child you two just adopted, the child doesn’t understand anything, it’s innocent! Witnessing parents doing this kind of thing will leave a shadow6 on its innocent childhood!】

    After so long, Fu Chaoyun finally responded to it. But before the System could rejoice, she said—

    “I closed the door.”

    System: 【…】

    Does closing the door mean you can do whatever you want! Letting the child hear sounds is bad too! Besides, the kitty’s hearing is so sharp!!

    Perhaps having learned her lesson from last time, Fu Chaoyun didn’t waste words on the System anymore when in front of Pei Xuezhi.

    The suppressants hadn’t been used at all. The rented room’s bedroom was small, door and windows shut tight. In just a moment, Pei Xuezhi’s pheromones overflowed, instantly reaching a thick concentration.

    Seeing Fu Chaoyun just standing there looking at her, Pei Xuezhi revealed another mocking smile. At this moment, perhaps with waves of passion crashing against her brain, even the usually rational and clear-headed Pei Xuezhi completely held back no verbal provocation or stimulation she could offer.

    “Scared? Then hurry up and—”

    Get lost!

    Fu Chaoyun’s body suddenly descended upon her. She first took one of Pei Xuezhi’s hands, brought it before her, and kissed her fingertips with her lips.

    “No,” Fu Chaoyun explained. “Just thinking about where to start… eating.”

    “Heh!”

    Pei Xuezhi turned her head away, refusing to look at the other’s gentle and intimate gestures, seemingly convinced she was just a useless Alpha!

    A hint of red wine scent mingled with the grapefruit pheromones.

    Just like every time before, Fu Chaoyun’s kisses were fine and dense, lingering and tender… starting from the cheeks, soon covering the area around Pei Xuezhi, yet her clothes remained intact.

    Pei Xuezhi merely watched her mockingly, but when the Alpha’s fluffy head lowered, dipping to her collarbone, repeatedly kissing and mouthing that vibrant red mole, Pei Xuezhi could no longer suppress a soft hum.

    The Omega’s will was strong, able to retain some rationality even at such a moment, but her body was like a gluttonous Taotie7, as if spoiled; having tasted just a little sweetness, it clamored, demanding more, more.

    No…

    It can’t go on like this.

    Pei Xuezhi spoke, “Is this all Jiejie is capable of?”

    She wanted to put on a display of cold indifference, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was completely hoarse, laced with desire, utterly uncontrollable, and lacking any deterrent force.

    Fu Chaoyun looked up.

    The Alpha’s lips were also vibrant; Pei Xuezhi knew very well they now carried her body heat, the scent of her pheromones. Her pair of amber eyes were deep and pure, looking at her just like when she had picked up Nao Nao in the park earlier.

    Carrying the danger of a nocturnal creature, yet also possessing an indescribable pitifulness.

    But.

    This time, Pei Xuezhi would not soften!

    Pei Xuezhi turned her head slightly and saw Fu Chaoyun’s hand. The Alpha’s hand had distinct knuckles, fair and slender. Her gaze fixed.

    “Is Jiejie going to try and fool me with these tricks again?” Pei Xuezhi’s face was flushed crimson with a seductive allure, but her voice grew colder.

    “Then get lost!”

    Fu Chaoyun looked at her, neither confirming nor denying, not even explaining. Her eyelids lowered slightly, hiding her emotions.

    After a moment.

    “I understand.”

    …?

    What does she understand now?!

    The next moment, Pei Xuezhi knew.

    Because on her far-too-small bed, Pei Xuezhi was suddenly flipped over, and the Alpha’s body pressed down again.

    The rented room’s bed was of average quality; the softness pressing against her chest actually hurt a little. But precisely because she was in heat, everything around her became soft, and this tiny bit of pain brought a spark of pleasure, awakening even more unspeakable urges.

    Pei Xuezhi almost cried out again, but bit down hard the instant it reached her throat, managing to swallow it back.

    No… can’t… admit defeat… now!

    Immediately after.

    The hair scattered around her neck was swept aside in large sections.

    When they entered the room, Fu Chaoyun had turned on the air conditioner in the bedroom, setting it directly to 24°C8. But affected by the heat period, the Omega was still struggling, still sweating.

    It wasn’t smelly, also carrying that grapefruit scent. A thin layer clung to her hair, the strands sticking to her neck. When separated, the threads tangled, also carrying a wisp of grapefruit’s fresh sweetness.

    Fu Chaoyun’s fingertips descended, stroking that spot.

    During heat, an Omega’s body was too sensitive; the slightest movement could trigger countless shivers throughout her body, moreover, the other person was now touching her most vital spot—the gland!

    Through a thin layer of skin and flesh, her pheromone-emitting gland was left exposed to the Alpha’s touch, like the tenderest flesh laid bare before a wild beast.

    Pei Xuezhi could feel the approach of the red wine pheromones. That was Fu Chaoyun drawing near, but not directly towards her gland, landing instead beside her ear.

    “I know.”

    The Alpha’s voice was soft, gentle, yet held an indescribable thread of danger.

    “It seems you accept gentleness too, but I’ve discovered—”

    Fu Chaoyun whispered close to Pei Xuezhi’s ear, “Zhizhi actually likes it a bit rougher, doesn’t she?”

    “Whether it’s treating others this way, or being treated this way yourself, you enjoy it very much… right?”

    Pei Xuezhi’s eyes, previously narrowed slightly in intoxication, suddenly widened, the light slowly returning to them.

    The Alpha’s pheromones constantly tempted her from the side, her scattered hair fell, constantly tickling her, even the other’s fingers were constantly rubbing against her gland.

    “Just now when I kissed Zhizhi at the door, and that time I ambushed you in the amusement park haunted house… I remember it all.”

    “It’s good that you know.”

    “This time, I will definitely satisfy Zhizhi, properly.”

    The emphasis fell on “satisfy” and “properly.”

    Her intentions were perfectly clear.

    In a daze.

    Pei Xuezhi felt the speaking voice seem to move slightly further away, but likely hadn’t gone far, because soon, something pressed against the back of her neck.

    “Ngh~!”

    Pei Xuezhi uncontrollably arched her head back. She was already pressed onto the bed by Fu Chaoyun, making the posture slightly awkward, but there was no helping it—this was the most instinctive survival reaction when an animal is pinned by the neck by a predator, even causing the fine hairs to stand on end.

    The overflowing pheromones from both sides intertwined.

    The next second.

    Pei Xuezhi’s muffled groans grew louder as the Alpha’s sharp teeth pierced the skin on the back of her neck. This time, due to Pei Xuezhi’s own urging, there were no sweet kisses, no prolonged stroking… without even waiting for that patch of skin to soften and completely lose its defenses, the Alpha bit straight down—

    Pei Xuezhi’s entire body tensed!

    Pain?

    Of course, it hurt, but clearer than the pain was a tingling numbness, that dense itching sensation, emotions reaching their peak, then wanting more!

    The Alpha on top of her indeed did not disappoint her expectations; her sharp teeth pressed against the outermost layer of the gland on her neck.

    Will she hesitate?

    Will it be like last time with me?

    The next second, Pei Xuezhi smiled.

    A smile of release, a smile of a wish fulfilled.

    Without the slightest hesitation, the Alpha’s teeth broke through her gland. At this depth, it was already too deep; she could even smell a faint scent of blood, but it was quickly masked, because more of her own pheromonal fragrance was constantly overflowing.

    If Pei Xuezhi’s gland was like a box, and the arrival of her heat period had slightly loosened the lid, letting only wisps leak out to fill the entire room with thick scent, then this was like throwing the lid wide open!

    In an instant, powerful pheromones rushed into the Alpha’s wide-open mouth, as if potent enough to make one faint!

    You marked me.

    You made me lose control.

    But this passion was never just a one-person show. At the moment of being marked, the Omega, previously in a position of weakness, would also become intense, giving rise to the desire to completely possess the Alpha on top of her.

    If an Alpha is compared to a purebred beast, then how could an Omega capable of making that beast completely lose control—this sweet temptation—possibly be a kind soul?

    Come on, come on…

    You made me this way, so the one who released all this naturally cannot be exempt! They should lose control and go mad together, intertwined in the most primitive state, like two beasts that have lost control!!


    An Alpha’s saliva itself is unremarkable, but if injected into an Omega’s gland, it has a certain soothing effect. If that Omega happens to be in heat, then it’s extraordinary!

    The effect surpasses the best aphrodisiacs on the market.

    Next.

    Everything descended into chaos, lost control.

    The consistently gentle and considerate Alpha also showed a touch of wanton recklessness, shedding her outer shell, revealing her innermost true self. Those kisses landed truly and tangibly on every part of the other’s body.

    Sometimes like this, sometimes like that…

    Just to hear the Omega let out more, prettier, softer sounds.

    The System had long since gotten scared and blocked both image and sound, while the air conditioner in the room remained set at 24°C, never rising.

    Only the Alpha could be heard, close to the Omega’s ear, still excessively calling out, again and again, “Zhizhi, Zhizhi, do you like it like this? How about this?”

    The eternally proud, high-and-mighty Omega could no longer utter the fierce word “Get lost,” only whimpering sounds remained, like a pitiful, wronged little beast.

    Pitiful…

    Pitiful and easy to bully.


    About twenty minutes later, the mark was seared in, and everything gradually returned to calm.

    After marking, the storm of the heat period temporarily subsided, but the Omega’s body was even redder than before.

    No reason other than: there was a dog.

    The Alpha’s body was still intact, aside from slightly wrinkled clothes, while the Omega was covered by a thin blanket.

    Fu Chaoyun sat up a bit, her amber eyes fixed on Pei Xuezhi, her head lowered, her lips hovering just a line above the other’s. When she spoke, her warm breath sprayed out completely unfiltered.

    “Zhizhi, does this count as okay now?”

    This was a Fu Chaoyun never seen before.

    After the tide receded, Pei Xuezhi’s rationality returned, presenting once again a cool and detached appearance… oh, her current appearance could no longer bear those two words, one could only say—coldly indifferent.

    She looked at Fu Chaoyun, still mocking, “Miss Fu has proven herself now, so can you get lost?”

    Fu Chaoyun frowned slightly, seemingly not understanding why things were still like this.

    Immediately.

    She pushed back her hair, turned around, and exposed her own gland to the Omega.

    “Zhizhi, bite.”

    The Alpha invited softly, each word like a siren’s lure9.

    At this moment, however, she was exceedingly gentle.

    Pei Xuezhi’s eyes darkened for an instant. “What is this, reciprocity10? Or is the beast11 finished and now offering compensation?”

    “But Zhizhi liked it,” Fu Chaoyun said again.

    She didn’t feel the slightest shame about being counter-marked by her Omega as an Alpha, perhaps even enjoying it somewhat?

    And now, even though she had her back turned, revealing a slender figure from behind, unable to see her expression, one could imagine those eyes were bright, dazzling.

    “…”

    Pei Xuezhi choked.

    She really did…

    As if bewitched, Pei Xuezhi finally slowly leaned closer. Waiting, this bite ultimately landed on Fu Chaoyun’s shoulder.

    Deeply, drawing blood.

    Fu Chaoyun merely frowned, not even letting out a hum.

    Afterward.

    Pei Xuezhi released her bite and got up, heading towards the bathroom without regard for her current state of undress12. Fu Chaoyun heard the sound and turned back.

    “Zhizhi?”

    Pei Xuezhi’s body and the corners of her eyes still held a lingering flush, but her expression was extremely cold. Even though they had just marked, even though such an intimate event had just occurred, it couldn’t change anything.

    “Alright, you can get lost now.”

    “…”

    Very much having the air of ‘use and discard’13.

    Fu Chaoyun looked at her, surprisingly not angry. Her gaze fell on the legs supporting her walk; after what had just happened, the Omega’s legs should still be weak. She didn’t rashly offer to help her bathe again.

    As if the previous recklessness and offense were just a result of being overwhelmed by everything, and now, the wildness had retreated, rationality returned.

    Immediately, Fu Chaoyun also stood up.

    “Then I won’t disturb Zhizhi.” She said gently and politely. As Pei Xuezhi turned back, she added.

    “Thank you for the hospitality14.”

    Ultimately revealing her sharp edge.

    Pei Xuezhi didn’t speak either.

    Seeing Fu Chaoyun about to leave, she made no move to stop her. Just as the door opened, Nao Nao, who had been waiting at the door for who knows how long, darted in. Fu Chaoyun, quick-eyed and swift-handed, caught it instantly.

    “No.”

    This time she didn’t say anything about mothers and children, acting very proper. She first put the kitty outside.

    “Meow meow meow~ Meow meow meow!”

    You two were playing inside with the AC on, why didn’t you bring meow!

    Pei Xuezhi’s legs were truly weak; she hadn’t even made it the few steps to the bathroom before she was already leaning against the wall.

    Seeing Fu Chaoyun approach again, she asked warily, “What are you doing?”

    Fu Chaoyun, however, wrapped the thin blanket tighter around Pei Xuezhi, leaving only her head and her feet exposed at the bottom.

    A beautiful face, and below, even her toenails glowed with a lovely color.

    “Cover up, this probably needs washing tomorrow too.”

    Pei Xuezhi: “…”

    After handling this, Fu Chaoyun went to catch the kitty again. The Alpha kept busy15, first bringing the cat bed inside, while also preparing water and cat food, taking care of everything extremely well. During this process, Nao Nao was held in her arms the whole time, afraid it might run around and pull something apart.

    This was that gentle Fu Chaoyun again.

    Just before leaving, Fu Chaoyun said to Pei Xuezhi, who still hadn’t gone to bathe, “No need to be jealous of Nao Nao.”

    “What?”

    The Alpha’s gaze deepened, her fingers curled and rubbed together, as if recalling something.

    “I wouldn’t do this kind of thing with Nao Nao.”

    Pei Xuezhi: “…”

    “And—”

    She smiled, her eyes clear of haze, utterly brilliant. All the previous silence and gloom vanished in an instant.

    This was exactly the appearance of Fu Chaoyun that Pei Xuezhi liked the most and felt most helpless against.

    She lowered her head, hooking a strand of Pei Xuezhi’s long hair and winding it around and around her finger. In an instant, her originally bright and radiant features suddenly revealed a hint of bewitching beauty, stunningly beautiful.

    She chuckled softly, kissed Pei Xuezhi’s lips again. As she pulled away, her scarlet tongue darted out improperly, like a snake’s flicking tongue greedily about to devour the prey before it, yet ultimately just brushing lightly along the flesh of her lips.

    Tingling numbness.

    An unintentional tease, yet boundlessly suggestive.

    “Next time you have this kind of need, remember to call me.”

    “I’m very useful.”

    Pei Xuezhi didn’t manage to dodge in time.

    And the Alpha tilted her head again, her face shifting between innocence and allure, ultimately even her light smile became half-and-half16, flickering indistinctly in the light and shadow.

    “Zhizhi just tried it once tonight, didn’t she?”
