As he walked, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Why are my hands empty when I walk this road compared to the way I came?
"The things they bought..." Qin Chu immediately thought of all those big and small bags.
"What?" Levy asked, "Did you forget to take your things?"
Qin Chu was about to say yes, but then he turned to look at the group and remembered, "I forgot, now that an alpha is helping us carry it, there shouldn't be any problem."
Levy didn't ask any more questions.
After walking for a while, he suddenly realized what was happening, stopped, and frowned at Qin Chu: "Did they ask you to help carry things?"
"Yeah, we can't carry too many." Qin Chu didn't take it seriously.
Levy frowned, clearly displeased: "How could they ask you to help carry it? Can't you just not buy it if you can't carry it yourself?"
"...I can lift it." Qin Chu didn't understand why he had focused on this point.
“You and they are all Omega,” Levy said.
He remained silent for a while, clearly in a bad mood.
Qin Chu didn't quite understand.
But it sounds like he meant the same thing as what he said before.
I may be impressive, but that doesn't mean I'm not worried; I'm capable of carrying it, but I still don't want you to put in the effort.
The two walked in silence for a while, and slowly approached the gate of the base.
From this angle, you can actually see fireworks in the sky, colorful, with lively shapes and sounds.
The group that went to watch the fireworks had already disappeared from sight. Qin Chu still found it strange when he thought about the scene he had seen in the private room.
"...Why didn't you bring an Omega to the private room?" Qin Chu asked.
Seeing that he had been puzzled the whole way, Levy finally asked the question, and he laughed: "Because those guys from the military academy are all single, their purpose for coming here is not pure."
"...So what?" Qin Chu didn't understand this logic.
Levi turned to look at him: "Senior, I also stopped you outside the private room today. I didn't want you to see them either."
"It won't kill me if I see him, so why can't I see him?" Qin Chu thought of the blunder he had caused today and stubbornly insisted.
Levy did not answer immediately.
They stood outside the base gate, with a railing about half a person's height behind them. Thin vines climbed the smooth railing, their leaves trembling gently in the night breeze.
After a whole day, their pheromones were no longer bound by the masking agent, drifting in the air and lingering around each other's noses.
Levi's bright blue eyes, still shining in the darkness, stared intently at Qin Chu.
"Senior, before they're fully marked, nobody wants their favorite Omega to come into contact with other Alphas."
This statement seemed to answer Qin Chu's question, yet it also seemed to offer no answer at all.
But the question from just now became completely unimportant in that instant.
Qin Chu leaned against the railing and gently inhaled the cool breeze.
He tried to calm himself down, but instead inhaled a mouthful of Levi's pheromones and the faint smell of alcohol on the alpha.
"What do you mean?" Qin Chu turned his head slightly.
He was waiting for Levy's reply.
Perhaps in the next second, this person will laugh and brush it off again.
Perhaps Levi would tell him that this was just a tacit little joke between an alpha and an omega.
Then they will return to that hazy yet safe state they were in before.
But this time, before Qin Chu could even hear Levi speak, he felt his waist being gripped, and then his body felt light.
He was held by the waist and placed on the railing behind him.
Raise your gaze, touch the ground with your toes.
Originally, Qin Chu had to look up at Levi, but now it was Qin Chu who looked down at him.
He looked down and saw Levi leaning closer.
The pheromones smelling of alcohol and blood grew stronger.
"What do you mean... Senior, do you think I haven't explained it clearly enough?" Levi moved even closer.
Qin Chu subconsciously stepped back, but his back was firmly blocked by an arm, as if for protection or restraint.
This is a very dangerous posture.
Last time, it was the same position. He was pinned to the sink by the alpha in front of him, and the glands on the back of his neck were being bitten wantonly through a thin layer of fabric.
This time, Levy didn't make any excessive moves, but Qin Chu's mood was no calmer than before.
"Since you don't understand, I'll say it again."
His blue eyes curved into a faint but genuine smile. "Because I like you, I don't want any single alpha to have any contact with you; because I like you, I'm afraid you'll be taken away by someone else."
Alpha's deep voice echoed in the night wind.
Qin Chu froze on the railing.
Because I like it.
He hadn't expected Levy to say those things so bluntly.
This person had asked for his contact information, bit his nape, made many ambiguous jokes, and shared his mating season in the next room with him.
I even asked him what kind of girl he liked, and I gave him a whole box of gifts to try and win him over...
But Levy has never been so candid in saying that he likes someone.
He was like a hunter casting bait, always maintaining a position where he could advance or retreat with ease, watching his prey struggle angrily with a smile.
He never makes things explicit, thus putting himself in a passive position.
But this time...
With a loud "bang," the fireworks exploded.
Various colored lights suddenly rose into the air and scattered, illuminating half of the sky above.
Amidst the continuous, imperceptible sounds, Qin Chu could still clearly hear Levi's voice:
"Did you understand, senior? Liking someone means wanting to kiss them, wanting to mark them. I dream of you being covered in my scent, so everyone will know you're mine, and no matter where you go, I can find you."
The emotion in his blue eyes was sincere yet obsessive. Levi's smile faded, and he became unusually serious. If Levi's attitude were even slightly unserious, Qin Chu would ignore him completely.
But Levy, unfortunately, did not.
Qin Chu was somewhat at a loss.
This was the first time he had ever received such a sincere, face-to-face confession.
For a moment, Qin Chu's thoughts even wandered to count Levi's eyelashes, and he was surprised to find that this person seemed to have natural eyeliner.
What should he do, what should he do, and what can he do?
My mind is blank, yet it feels like there are some unruly things running around wildly.
Completely at a loss, Qin Chu even dragged Noah out and asked, "Now... can I beat him up?"
Naturally, Qin Chu only received the message, "Privacy mode is enabled."
The fireworks overhead were still going off.
The person in front of him was also waiting for his response.
Qin Chu felt that everything about him, except his mind, was sharp and clear.
For example, he could smell the large amount of pheromones that Levi was releasing uncontrollably, and he could feel Levi's hand on his waist and his forearm behind his back trembling slightly.
It's the muscles trembling involuntarily.
It was like extreme excitement, yet also like a slowly spreading fear.
The hunter, who seemed to have mastered the game, had already fallen into the trap from the very beginning.
Qin Chu's throat was dry and itchy.
He tried to speak, but a beam of light suddenly shone towards them.
Who's there?
"Hey? Classmates? Why are you still out at this hour?"
The one speaking was a security guard.
Qin Chu was startled and leaned back slightly.
Levi quickly tried to block with his hand, but Qin Chu grabbed his shoulder and pulled him at the same time.
Qin Chu, who had been leaning back, bounced back as if he had a spring in his body.
Due to excessive force, his lips slammed directly into Levi's forehead.
"Hmm."
A muffled groan was heard.
One of them covered his forehead, and the other covered his mouth.
"We're about to close, are you coming in or not?" the security guard asked again.
Levy, clutching his forehead in exasperation, shouted, "Go in!"
The two walked away from the railing and entered the base's gate.
After being yelled at by the security guard, Qin Chu's blank mind returned to normal, but his memory of that moment was still completely blank.
Levy wanted to ask more questions, but the courage he had mustered faltered, and he couldn't bring himself to speak.
The two walked forward quietly side by side.
It was as if nothing had just happened.
Although there were hardly any people outside the base, the base was still bustling with people before curfew.
