Evil Love Appears chapter 27

After brushing his teeth in silence in the bathroom, Fu Xiaoyu didn’t choose to enter the master bedroom. Instead, he turned off the lights in the living room and curled up alone on the sofa in the darkness.

Even though he had said, “I can,” and agreed with Xu Jiale’s viewpoint, he still chose to remain silent here, which was clearly not a mature approach.

But he was upset.

Within this feeling of sadness, there was a hint of grievance, sour and bitter, stemming from going from being cherished to being ignored.

He was better at dealing with more concrete and tangible problems, but he couldn’t figure out how to handle his own complex and subtle emotions.

He knew perfectly well that they weren’t in a typical lover’s quarrel, and yet, he instinctively challenged Xu Jiale.

The villa had excellent heating, but it was still slightly chilly without a blanket in winter. Fu Xiaoyu buried his toes in the gap of the sofa; in any case, he intended to sleep on the sofa tonight.

But not long after, Fu Xiaoyu suddenly let out a muffled groan, and the agonizing emptiness in his abdomen surged faintly again. Why was this happening so quickly?

The pheromones rapidly stirred, and he couldn’t help but yearn for Xu Jiale and the minty scent of his body.

He truly didn’t understand. Even for an A-rank omega, it shouldn’t be possible to have a second heat only two hours after being marked. He had never experienced a heat like this one, so intense, and especially when he was least inclined to give in.

Fu Xiaoyu gritted his teeth, pressing his hand tightly against his lower abdomen, even breaking into a sweat.

While Fu Xiaoyu was in the living room, Xu Jiale had stepped out onto the balcony outside the master bedroom to smoke a cigarette.

He had just washed his face, and now he stood in the winter night, feeling the piercing cold wind making his face ache.

Dressed in pajamas, he remained outside in the cold breeze for a while, unable to bear it, before hurriedly putting out the cigarette he had only smoked halfway.

The bedroom door was slightly open, and the lights in both the bedroom and living room were turned off, so it was pitch black on either side of the door.

Xu Jiale flung himself onto the bed, watching the glow-in-the-dark clock hanging on the wall.

Objectively speaking, he hadn’t been wrong.

Indeed, it was Fu Xiaoyu’s one-sided choice.

Yes, he had hesitated to make the call to the emergency center when he should have, and he could consider that his mistake.

But retreating one step didn’t mean he would take a second step back. He had promised to provide comfort to this omega’s body to the best of his ability, but that didn’t mean he had to bare his inner world to Fu Xiaoyu.

These were fundamentally two different matters.

Xu Jiale was sorting out his thoughts while checking the time on his watch.

It had been nearly twenty minutes.

Outside, Fu Xiaoyu remained completely still, but there was a faint scent of the magnolia tree, which was so familiar that Xu Jiale couldn’t ignore it. Once they had engaged in temporary marking, the scent perception between an alpha and an omega became far more acute, to the point where Xu Jiale had no doubt upon smelling this particular scent.

Why was Fu Xiaoyu getting into heat again?

The scent was gradually growing stronger, almost impossible to ignore, and at this moment, any experienced alpha could be sure—

Fu Xiaoyu was in heat again.

How could this be happening so quickly? Even an A-rank omega shouldn’t have a second heat just two hours after being marked. Xu Jiale was very puzzled and, at the same time, his nose couldn’t help but twitch with irritation.

He got out of bed and walked to the bedroom door. With deliberate movements, he swung it wide open. The sound of the door was quite distinct in the silent house, and of course, Fu Xiaoyu could hear it.

However, the door remained open for a while, and Xu Jiale stood there for some time, but the Fu Xiaoyu remained motionless. He was in heat, but he didn’t come inside.

Xu Jiale couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

In the darkness, it was a silent yet exceptionally intense tug-of-war. He didn’t want to surrender easily. Since Fu Xiaoyu wouldn’t come in, he didn’t intend to compromise.

Xu Jiale walked to the edge of the bed with a stern expression. But at that moment, he vaguely heard rustling sounds from the living room, like someone turning over on the sofa.

He remembered the time in the restroom at B University when he had locked Fu Xiaoyu in a cubicle, and Fu Xiaoyu had pleaded with him, “Please, help me.”

He knew that Fu Xiaoyu’s heat was incredibly intense this time. If he waited patiently, he could win this tug of war. But did he really want to make the proud omega beg him again because of the physical pain?

This was Fu Xiaoyu’s first time, the first time being so intimately marked by an alpha. It was possible that even now his body was still experiencing some discomfort, yet he had naturally and willingly opened up to Xu Jiale as his alpha. That’s why Fu Xiaoyu was so affectionate, why he kissed Xu Jiale eagerly, and why he couldn’t help being curious.

But because of a trivial incident, he had forced Fu Xiaoyu to say “yes” with clenched teeth and bowed head.

Xu Jiale, what the hell are you doing?

In any case, he should give this omega a beautiful experience, not make him suffer through humiliation and shame.

Xu Jiale suddenly changed direction, taking large strides out of the bedroom.

He could smell Fu Xiaoyu’s presence on the sofa with his heightened sense of smell, so he quietly moved closer in the darkness, intending to lift Fu Xiaoyu. But as soon as he got close, he heard a sharp “meow!”

Xu Jiale immediately sprang up. In fact, he quickly realized that he had stepped on Xia’an. But even with his quick reaction, he still felt a sharp pain in his ankle as Xia’an had scratched him without hesitation.

Xu Jiale hissed and said, “Sorry, baby, did I hurt you?”

Xia’an had scratched his leg and left the scene. Ignoring Xu Jiale, Fu Xiaoyu, who was still lying on the sofa, kept his back turned and remained silent.

Xu Jiale felt somewhat embarrassed.

But now that Xia’an had left, Xu Jiale squeezed up on the couch with Fu Xiaoyu. He lay down at the edge of the sofa, and from behind, he hugged the omega whose entire body was enveloped in a strong, sweet fragrance.

“Hey…”

Xu Jiale spoke softly.

Surprisingly, Fu Xiaoyu showed no intention of pushing him away. Xu Jiale gently turned Fu Xiaoyu’s body to face him, and in the faint moonlight, Fu Xiaoyu’s forehead and nose were covered in sweat, indicating that he was struggling. His eyes were already moist, but when he looked at Xu Jiale, they held a hint of stubbornness, and he remained silent.

Fu Xiaoyu indeed had a petite face.

Xu Jiale couldn’t help but think this every time he held this face in his hands. He felt an indescribable anxiety within him, like someone standing at the seaside, not wanting to get their shoes wet by the waves but unable to escape, experiencing an unknown whirlpool drawing near.

“Fu Xiaoyu, I’m sorry,” Xu Jiale said in a hoarse voice. “Jin Chu was supposed to bring Nanyi over after the New Year, but he couldn’t make it due to some issues, so I was feeling upset when I suddenly saw the toothbrushes I had prepared earlier. I’m sorry, my attitude toward you earlier was crap.”

Xu Jiale’s apology was even a bit vulgar. However, this direct and unreserved language was oddly calming, and it eased Fu Xiaoyu’s mood.

He had no reason to be angry with Xu Jiale; he simply had too much pride to give in. But Xu Jiale always seemed so casual, as if he could offer a hundred excuses at any time, which allowed Fu Xiaoyu to relax.

“I’m fine,” Fu Xiaoyu replied.

He heard Xu Jiale say that he was feeling upset, and he couldn’t help but ask softly, “Xu Jiale, are you still sad because of the divorce?”

Xu Jiale was momentarily speechless. This omega was unbelievable, going from saying “yes” with his head down and “don’t cross boundaries” to this.

Fu Xiaoyu looked at him with an intense gaze, unwavering, waiting for his response.

Xu Jiale sighed deeply in his heart. He realized that he couldn’t escape it; he had to open up a corner of his inner world to this stubborn omega.

Well, it might be awkward, even embarrassing, but showing him might satisfy his curiosity.

“Fu Xiaoyu, have you ever heard of Eason’s ‘Bicycle’?” Xu Jiale reached out his hand to gently massage the slightly swollen gland on the omega’s neck. Fu Xiaoyu had been listening intently to Xu Jiale, and when he shook his head, Xu Jiale smiled and said, “There’s a lyric in it: ‘In the vastness of life, it’s like a wilderness.'”

“In the vastness of life, it’s like a wilderness.” He closed his eyes and sang it again in Cantonese, his voice slightly hoarse.

As Fu Xiaoyu listened, he suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around Xu Jiale’s neck.

He couldn’t resist the look on Xu Jiale’s face when he sang, and he just wanted to kiss him.

This time, their intimacy felt more like a soft dream. Fu Xiaoyu was so happy that he felt like he could fly. He wanted a lot, and Xu Jiale was patient and tender, licking away every drop of sweat from his body.

After it was over, Fu Xiaoyu closed his eyes and tiredly slumped in Xu Jiale’s arms.

“Back to the room?” Xu Jiale whispered in his ear.

Fu Xiaoyu shook his head silently.

He liked the sofa. It was so narrow compared to the bed that Xu Jiale had to squeeze in with him, and they were more intimate than ever before.

“Alright…”

Xu Jiale sighed softly and walked back to the master bedroom to fetch a blanket, covering Fu Xiaoyu with it. Then, he hugged him from behind.

Xu Jiale’s palm rested on his belly, kneading it gently. The sensation was so comfortable for his newly awakened omega instincts that Fu Xiaoyu felt his spine shiver a little.

Because he was enjoying it so much, he even felt a bit anxious, afraid that Xu Jiale would stop after a few rubs. Fu Xiaoyu would occasionally turn his head to check Xu Jiale’s expression.

“It might be uncomfortable the first day. Let me massage you a bit longer.”

Xu Jiale noticed his worry and said, “Relax and sleep. I won’t stop until you fall asleep.”

After their intimacy, it seemed that they didn’t need to say anything to feel the warmth between them.

Fu Xiaoyu placed his palm on Xu Jiale’s palm, then closed his eyes, curling up in his embrace like a little cat, and fell into a deep sleep.

This was the first time in twenty-five years that Fu Xiaoyu had fallen asleep in an Alpha’s arms.

He slept unusually soundly, even breaking his usual early rising biological clock. It continued until a sudden and urgent doorbell rang, abruptly waking him up.

He was a bit disoriented, and when he turned over, he did so with some force, causing Xu Jiale to tumble from the sofa to the floor with a thud.

“Who the heck is it early this morning?”

Startled, Xu Jiale instinctively cursed. He seemed to be unaware that he had been pushed down by Fu Xiaoyu. He frowned and looked toward the entrance.

“Don’t get up…”

He murmured to Fu Xiaoyu, still under the covers, who was not wearing any clothes. Xu Jiale casually put on some sleeping shorts and headed towards the front door, his upper body bare.

Fu Xiaoyu hadn’t quite enjoyed his sleep yet. He wriggled back onto the sofa, about to close his eyes and continue sleeping when he suddenly caught a whiff of a milky Omega pheromone scent.

“Daddy!”

“Jiale, surprise!”

Two voices came from the entrance.
