"What?" Qin Chu's temper flared up, and he turned around to see what this guy was doing behind him.
But before he could turn his neck, he felt the back of his shirt collar being tugged.
"Are you fucking sick?" Qin Chu cursed.
"I'm not sick, your clothes are sick!" Levi's voice was on the verge of collapse.
He stared at the piece of fabric below Qin Chu's collar, near his shoulder.
Before Qin Chu got on the motorcycle, he was far away, and after he got on, Levi put on a helmet, so he couldn't see the details of Qin Chu's clothes at all.
Now, standing close behind Qin Chu and pushing up the windshield, he immediately discovered that this seemingly respectable white shirt concealed a huge scheme.
This shirt has a stand-up collar, but the fabric below the collar, the part covering the glands, is actually openwork.
It's not entirely accurate to say it's openwork; in short, what should have been a completely airtight piece of cloth has actually been divided into tiny strips.
When Qin Chu was still, it was nothing, but when he moved his neck, the strip of cloth shifted, and the skin on the back of his neck was vaguely revealed.
It's completely dark now, and even with streetlights, the light is not as good as during the day.
The lighting was dim, and the clothes weren't particularly extravagant, but with Levi's night vision, he could clearly see the equally fair skin beneath the white fabric.
Moreover, he is now extremely close to Qin Chu, and can almost effortlessly smell the pheromones emanating from Qin Chu.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Levi couldn't help himself and reached out to hook a strip of cloth on his clothes. As he pulled his hand back, his fingertips inevitably brushed against the skin on the back of his neck.
Qin Chu hadn't figured out what was happening yet, but the sensation was clearly not something that could be achieved through fabric.
He instinctively flinched and raised his voice, asking, "Did you tear my collar?"
"I tore it?" Levi gritted his teeth in his ear. "How the hell could I tear it like this? When you took the clothes...didn't you see?"
Qin Chu hadn't noticed the subtle detail in the clothes.
He usually only wears his uniform and has no interest in rummaging through his closet. Today, he just grabbed one at random. It looked quite proper, but who knew it would look like this from the back?
After a moment of silence, Qin Chu said, "There shouldn't be anything wrong with the collar area, right?"
In the real world, he's always shirtless, but now he's worrying about that tiny patch of land behind his neck every day.
Levi stopped talking, but he wrapped both arms around Qin Chu's waist and rested his helmeted head on Qin Chu's shoulder, clearly looking "I'm very unhappy".
The couple arrived a little late and were delayed on the way, so by the time they got to the wedding venue, everyone had already arrived.
Qin Chu stopped the car and was about to enter the venue with Levi.
The person was clearly still sulking; he stopped laughing and became quite serious, remaining silent.
The hotel was bustling with people, mostly friends of the two grooms. Although they were all around the same age, there were clearly many unfamiliar alphas among them.
Unfamiliar pheromones from the same species can trigger an alpha's subconscious resistance, especially for alphas in their most vulnerable period. Almost the instant he entered the room, Qin Chu felt Levi's body tense up, and then his hand was grasped.
Qin Chu glanced at him and let him go.
His indulgence clearly lifted Levi's spirits a bit, and his usually gloomy blue eyes finally brightened.
But what followed was their taking advantage of the situation.
Just as Qin Chu was about to enter the wedding venue, he felt Levi suddenly press close to him.
He had anticipated this, and with a single gesture, he caught someone's face in the act.
A long-planned kiss landed in Qin Chu's palm.
"What are you doing?" Levi asked, looking aggrieved.
"You still have the nerve to ask me what I'm doing?" Qin Chu was both annoyed and amused.
Levy remained silent.
He glanced at the wedding venue and muttered in a hoarse voice, "There are a lot of alphas in there."
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Qin Chu raised an eyebrow at him.
“There are also many unfamiliar pheromones,” Levy continued.
"So?" Qin Chu continued to ask.
"So let's mark it for now," Levi pleaded softly, his fluffy head already nuzzling against Qin Chu's neck.
He looked so wronged and pitiful, completely unlike his usual annoying self. He looked like a spoiled cat, which was surprisingly cute.
Qin Chu leaned against the wall, letting him rub against her, and ruffled his hair: "In this state... I don't believe in your self-control."
Levy looked up, clearly wanting to refute, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded honestly: "Yes, that's right. If you make it yourself and I make it myself, then are we still going to play?"
Qin Chu tilted his head and chuckled, then pulled him inside.
The wedding is underway, and the two grooms have already exchanged rings.
Qin Chu had rarely attended other people's weddings in the real world, let alone in this world.
He had never been interested in these occasions before, but now he was unusually curious and stood aside looking at the two newlyweds.
The wedding proceeded fairly conventionally, the only slightly trendy thing being Omega's wedding attire.
In this world, Omegas almost always protect their necks as secondary sexual characteristics; otherwise, the collars of their base uniforms wouldn't be so high. However, things are different at weddings. The back of an Omega's formal attire is open, fully exposing the glands.
At first, Qin Chu was a little confused, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the dress was not showing the skin of the gland, but rather the bite marks on the gland.
The bite mark had scabbed over and fallen off, but the scar it left was very obvious, making it easy to imagine how fiercely the alpha had bitten it.
Qin Chu was shocked; he never expected that such a thing would be displayed in public.
Levi chuckled behind him, his voice low: "These are marks left by alphas on omegas. If there's no mark, an omega exposing the back of its neck means it's seducing. But after a bite mark is left, exposing the back of the neck again signifies its ownership."
Levy's words trailed off somewhat unclearly.
As he said this, Qin Chu could feel his shirt collar being bitten and gently tugged.
Levi was biting a strip of cloth, and when he put it in his mouth, his teeth brushed against the skin on the back of Qin Chu's neck.
He whispered again, "You know what? Last time during my most sensitive period, I almost bit you. Here... you almost have my bite marks all over."
The newlyweds were kissing, and the crowd cheered.
Everyone was focused on the AO couple on stage, and no one noticed that an Omega standing in the corner was being kissed and gnawed on the back of his neck.
With the back of his neck gently held by the tip of someone's teeth, Qin Chu suddenly asked, "Where's the alpha?"
"What?" Levi asked, raising his head.
Qin Chu turned around, his gaze sweeping over Levi's neck: "Even if an alpha is bitten, they will be marked and have bite marks left?"
“…This question is beyond my knowledge.” Levy sighed, then shamelessly suggested, “Why don’t you take a bite and try it?”
As he spoke, he actually reached out and opened his collar.
It's so lewd it's unbearable to look at.
However... I do want to give it a try.
Qin Chu's gaze lingered on Levi for a few seconds before he looked away: "Forget it, you should just sit over there."
Now that the wedding ceremony is over, the guests are free to move around. Qin Chu takes advantage of the large crowd to walk around and make sure Noah can scan them.
Knowing he was losing control, Levi didn't follow, but instead took a glass of wine and sat down on the sofa to calm down.
There were quite a few guests this time, and a large portion of them were strangers.
Many of the people were clearly not from the base, nor were they related to the military academy next door. Qin Chu actually encountered several unfamiliar alphas trying to strike up a conversation with him after he walked around.
However, Qin Chu didn't need to refuse verbally. He only needed to release his pheromones, and most of the people following him would automatically disperse, which was very effective.
After walking around the entire venue and saying hello to the couple getting married, Qin Chu turned to leave.
He picked something up from his plate, then saw the fruit pizza next to him and reached out to grab a slice.
Levi really likes this stuff. Despite his pheromones smelling bloody, he prefers all kinds of sweet and creamy foods. He's eaten it several times in a row at the base's canteen and never gets tired of it.
As Qin Chu walked back with his tray, he looked up and found Levi's spot, but then paused.
He suddenly realized that there were quite a few alphas attending the wedding banquet, but there were also many unfamiliar Omegas.
At the base, his affair with Levi caused quite a stir. Every art student knew that Levi was his model and that Levi had pinned him down on the sink during his sensitive period.
However, in this place where strangers mingle, many people are still unaware of their relationship.
Just like now.
Levi remained seated on the sofa, always unruly and sprawled out like a boneless slump.
But standing by the back of the sofa was an unfamiliar Omega.
This Omega was clearly very interested in Levi, leaning forward slightly as if saying something.
Levi looked up and replied with a sentence. Omega chuckled. Levi tilted his head and said something else.
Qin Chu stood in the crowd watching, clicked his tongue softly, and felt a strong urge to kick someone.
Qin Chu had always known that Levi was a very popular alpha.
After all, he's good-looking and seems to know how to flirt.
Qin Chu still remembers when they were selecting models, all 297 Omegas in the entire base chose Levi, and the competition system even added a reverse selection rule for him.
Qin Chu didn't feel anything at the time, but now, seeing this scene, a subtle displeasure arose in his heart.
Qin Chu suddenly understood why Levy was so obsessed with the "marking".
Because now, looking at Levi, he also felt that this guy was pretty irritating.
Qin Chu lifted his foot and walked towards the sofa.
But before he could get close, the Omega standing behind the sofa had already been called away.
Qin Chu walked to the sofa and sat down with a plate in his hand.
"Why are you only getting back now?" Levy asked.
Qin Chu glanced at him, said nothing, and placed the plate on the glass coffee table in front of her.
Levi saw the fruit pizza on the plate and instinctively reached out to take it.
Qin Chu wouldn't want to eat something so sweet unless absolutely necessary, so this was definitely meant for him.
But when he reached out, he found nothing.
