Like a rose that was expected to die from stubborn gravel on the highest cliff, he bloomed so proudly with a very arrogant persona. 

 

Bai Huai could not understand how anyone in the world could not be moved by such a rose.

 

If he can, he would wish nothing but to pick the rose and protect him in a greenhouse away from the strong wind and thunderstorm. He will make sure to pick the weeds around it and remove the insects flying nearby. He would get rid of everything that will try to ruin it. He will take it on his own accord and appreciate its beauty day and night, for as long as he lived.

 

‘Don’t go too far.’ Bai Huai reminded himself calmly, cutting his daydream short.

 

If there is an Alpha looking for something, do you think they will say hello to you in advance?” He replied to Jian Songyi’s statement coldly.

 

“Alright.” Jian Songyi clench his teeth again, so he would be able to smile. “Is that all you can do? It’s not really that hard. How can you absolutely suppress those Alphas with just this force?”

 

“We are going step by step. This is only 20% of it.”

 

“…..”

 

Only the 20% of his full potential? That’s only it?

 

Jian Songyi gave a wry smile. “Then I still have a long way to go.”

 

“Eight minutes. Two more minutes to go.”

 

“I think you can add another 20%. It’s not too difficult for me now.”

 

Jian Songyi has almost straightened himself out. He raised a brow at him as he smiles. A smile worth a billion dollars, to say the least.

 

Bai Huai lets out a sigh of relief. Jian Songyi handled this better than he thought.

 

Bai Huai’s tone was serious and cold as if he is an emotionless instructor: “Are you sure you can handle an increase and take 40%? An Alpha which is a little less physically fit can’t bear this much intensity.”

 

“You’re acting like a sissy. If you continue doing that, then you will lose your cold man persona in school. Do you want that?”

 

“…..”

 

How can a guy with a small mouth be this loud?

 

“Ten minutes had already passed. I will lower the intensity for a while and then increase it after five minutes.”

 

Jian Songyi clicked his tongue against his cheek in protest. “Don’t slow down. Go on.”

 

“I’m worried about you.”

 

“What is there to worry about? If an Alpha is really there to hunt me, then will they actually give me a break?”

 

That’s a good point.

 

So after the next second, Bai Huai multiplied his pheromones to press Jian Songyi down. Jian Songyi clearly underestimated the power of Bai Huai’s pheromones and could not bear it anymore. His whole body was pressed to his knees in an instant.

 

Fortunately, at the last second, he held on.

 

His knees are just less than five centimeters away from the ground. But ever so slowly, Jian Songyi tries to regain his composure one tiptoe at a time. With his hands on the ground, his joints whitening as he pushes himself up. This time, his body is not just trembling but is shaking vigorously due to the overexertion from high frequency.

 

His satan pajamas clung to his skin. There’s no doubt that Jian Songyi’s spine and shoulder blades are being put to test.

 

The strong oppression left him out of breath, and his face was completely colorless already.

 

A droplet of sweat fell from the ground. And soon enough, his whole upper body fell against it with a loud bang. 

 

It hurt him so much. 

 

For a moment, Bai Huai wanted to put his pheromones away. He only wanted to pick him up, hold him within his arms, and tell him to quit this fucking practice already.

 

‘Why don’t you just stop trying? I am always on your fucking side. Can’t I protect you? You don’t have to do anything. Why are you so stubborn? Why do you want to suffer like this?’

 

But of course, it’s all in just Bai Huai’s thoughts. Although he was so close to saying it.

 

It’s a pity that he doesn’t only like Jian Songyi. He loves him. He understands him. But most of all, Bai Huai trusts him.

 

After a few more seconds, Jian Songyi relaxes his hands against the floor. He holds his breath steadily while ever so slowly straightening his hand bit by bit. 

 

But at the moment when he was just about to stand up, he lost his strength and collapsed again. 

 

And yet, he holds his ground again. He tried to stand up again and then failed again.

 

It came into a cycle. He would be able to hold himself. He would try to stand up, and then completely fall back down. It’s all that happened over and over again until the floor has accumulated many broken beads of sweat.

 

Bai Huai felt the corner of his eyes and his chest warm-up in soreness.

 

This is not just torture for an Omega. 

 

He clenched his teeth and tightened his jaw. He lowered his eyes and dared not watch this scene before him anymore. He could not bear another second of seeing this. 

 

Finally, he heard a ruffian and scoffed voice who wanted to be taught a lesson. “Heh. Is this all you’ve got, Bai Huai? Is this your level? It’s just so-so.” 

 

Bai Huai lifted his head. 

 

Jian Songyi stood up with his back straight and his head held up high. He arched his brow upwards with a cynical smile playing on his lips.

 

“What can you say? Brother Song is good.” Jian Songyi sounds very arrogant, which is the most touching part of this case. He is good if he could still talk like that after what happened.

But instead of a congratulatory statement, Bai Huai only looked at him. He did not utter a word and continued on staring.

 

Only silence enveloped the two of them.

 

Not until Bai Huai took a step forward and hugged Jian Songyi to him. He quickly tangled his fingers through his hair and pressed Jian Songyi’s head on his shoulder.

 

Then just now, the ice wall was transformed into warm water in early spring. The action was abrupt but the feeling of being in Bai Huai’s arms is gentle. 

 

Jian Songyi was stunned. It took too long for him to be able to react. “Bai Huai, are you crazy? Are you trying to plot against me?”

 

Bai Huai smiles slightly. “If I was planning to plot against you, then you should’ve lost all of your skin by now.”

 

Thinking of the terrible 40%, Jian Songyi could only imagine the 100% intensity of Bai Huai’s pheromones. Because of that, he did not try to argue.

 

“Then what is this you are doing?”

 

“An after-training service”

 

“What?”

 

“If I don’t pacify you after training, you will be scarred from my pheromone. If that happens, you will be afraid of me later.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Really.”

 

“Okay. If you say so.”

 

Jian Songyi frowns as he tries to shake off his doubts over the situation.

 

On the other hand, Bai Huai smiles slyly to himself at his triumphant shot.

 

As they hug, Jian Songyi can relax and he won’t be able to see his intent. He can let his suffocating headache be blown away by his love for him as he breathes his pheromones. 

 

If Jian Songyi is taking advantage of training with him, then it’s just right for him to take advantage of the situation too. He should be forgiven for doing this to the innocent Jian Songyi, who has no clue of what he is trying to do.

 

While Bai Huai is indulging himself in holding and comforting Jian Songyi, he then had a glimpse of a candy jar in the corner of Jian Songyi’s cabinet.

 

It’s very old, has a lot of scratches, and has already lost its paint. Written with a color pen, one could make out of ‘Brother Huai’. It’s the jar for Jian Songyi’s milk candy that Bai Huai gifted him when he was five years old. It was his first gift to him.

 

Bai Huai suddenly felt that those times with each other is much kinder than he thought. He remembers how lonely he was as he kept his love for him a secret. As a sign of affection, he would always leave Jian Songyi notes and reward him with sweets every now and then.

 

He smiles as he finished reminiscing the bitter-sweet memory. He was about to pull away from Jian Songyi’s delicate body when he heard the door squeak open.

 

“Daddy is back! Look what daddy bought you… I am sorry! Daddy should have knocked!”

 

Bang, the door then abruptly closed.

 

Outside the door came Mr. Jian’s voice, which he tries so hard to keep down. “Shhhh! Don’t go in there yet! Our son is in a relationship. He finally has his puppy love!”

 

Jian Songyi: “…..”

 

Jian Songyi: “Bai Huai, tell me the truth. What on earth do you have against me? Why do I always have to deal with these kinds of misfortunes?”
