Evil Love Appears chapter 22

As he approached the podium, Wen Ke was talking to a few reporters who had come for interviews, while Xu Jiale stood nearby.

“Hey, you’re here,” Xu Jiale greeted him casually but indifferently.

“Yeah,” Fu Xiaoyu responded briefly. When he turned to look at Xu Jiale, he noticed that he was already tilting back his head to drink mineral water, seemingly lost in his own world.

Xu Jiale was indeed difficult to understand.

When he put on his armor, Xu Jiale effortlessly broke through his defenses. But just when he thought there might be something different between them on New Year’s Eve, Xu Jiale casually retreated to his safety zone.

He couldn’t grasp the boundaries with this alpha, whether they should be close or distant, it wasn’t up to him to decide. This social interaction felt like chasing his own tail, maddeningly frustrating yet irresistibly enticing.

Just as he was lost in these thoughts, Wen Ke, who had just finished being interviewed by reporters, suddenly approached him and grabbed his arm tightly. “Xiaoyu…”

Wen Ke’s face turned incredibly pale, and he clutched his stomach. “I…I…”

His situation was unique, and without needing to say anything, both Xu Jiale and Fu Xiaoyu became concerned. “What’s wrong? Is your stomach hurting?”

“Yes…suddenly, I need to step out,” Wen Ke said, sweating profusely. He looked at Fu Xiaoyu and said in a hoarse voice, “Only the conclusion remains. Xiaoyu, can you help me with it? There’s a process on my desk…you saw it yesterday. Please.”

“Don’t worry,” Fu Xiaoyu replied briefly.

“You go back quickly; we’re here,” Xu Jiale added, helping Wen Ke walk out while speaking in a low voice.

Fu Xiaoyu didn’t offer any unnecessary reassurances; he knew that calmness was what was needed now.

The student union at B University had just brought in some water and snacks on a cart. Fu Xiaoyu didn’t care for the snacks, but he picked up a bottle of mineral water from Wen Ke’s desk, which had remained untouched until now.

As he twisted the bottle cap with force, a few drops of water splashed onto his hand from the bottom of the bottle. Water shouldn’t have been there if the bottle hadn’t been opened. Fu Xiaoyu glanced down at his palm, finding it somewhat strange.

However, he didn’t have time to dwell on such trivial matters. After taking a sip of water, he opened the folder to review the concluding part of the presentation. Perhaps because he was sitting at the main podium, reporters who hadn’t had a chance to ask questions earlier began to approach him for interviews. Fu Xiaoyu was well-versed in the product and was used to these interviews as a CEO. He stood up and answered their questions with professionalism, attracting more and more media attention.

However, after a while, Fu Xiaoyu suddenly stopped speaking hastily.

His face, which had been somewhat pale, now flushed strangely, and he even lowered his head to grip the back of his chair tightly.

Something was wrong. He felt something unusual in his body.

A searing sensation was rising from his lower abdomen, a feeling that was not entirely unfamiliar.

But how could this be happening at this moment? He refused to believe it, overwhelmed by the intensity of the pain.

He forced himself to calm down, rapidly resolving the reporters’ questions. Then he hurriedly said to Xu Jiale, “I need to step out for a moment.” With these brief words, he had used up almost all his energy. He almost flew out of the auditorium’s doors, rushing towards the omega restroom on the lower floor, which was relatively far away.

His actions were abrupt, and even though he had chosen a more secluded restroom, it was quite a distance away. When he finally entered the restroom, he was practically on the verge of collapse. He leaned against the wall and struggled into one of the stalls.

As he closed the stall door tightly, he confirmed the feeling he had just experienced.

In his fragile reproductive cavity, it felt like a fire had been recklessly ignited.

He clutched his lower abdomen as if trying to extinguish the flames through his skin. The sensation was overwhelming, and it was not something he could ignore.

Like being thrown into a blazing fire, he felt that his whole being was consumed by the intensity of this feverish experience. The scent of his pheromones surged like flames.

No, this couldn’t be happening.

Going into heat in a public place was a nightmare that no omega could bear to think about. Even the strongest omega couldn’t resist the caresses and claims of any alpha during this period. Heat meant danger, it meant uncontrollable chaos, and during this time, omegas were vulnerable prey.

Fu Xiaoyu’s body was in spasm. In a crowd of thousands at B University, he couldn’t afford to be discovered. But he couldn’t endure it much longer.

Just one more second, and he felt like he would lose consciousness. He couldn’t lose consciousness, he mustn’t…

He couldn’t take it anymore.

Fu Xiaoyu practically slid down the wall, unable to hold on any longer.

Meanwhile, Xu Jiale took out his phone. Fu Xiaoyu’s sudden exit had left him worried, and he was hesitating whether to call and check on him.

But as he hesitated, his phone suddenly vibrated—a call from Fu Xiaoyu.

Xu Jiale quickly answered, “Hello…?”

“Xu… Xu Jiale…” Fu Xiaoyu’s voice was weaker than ever, and even over the phone, Xu Jiale could sense his trembling. “I’m in the restroom on the lower floor.”

“I’m in heat.”

Xu Jiale almost dropped the phone.

“Can you come over, Xu Jiale?” When he said Xu Jiale’s name, it sounded choked and trembling.

“Of course.” Xu Jiale replied quickly.

Xu Jiale almost jumped up from his chair, not caring about the press conference. He grabbed the phone and rushed out of the auditorium.

He was thirty years old, and his life shouldn’t have involved an 800-meter sprint anymore. It had been many years since he graduated from college, and he couldn’t remember ever running this fast.

But at this moment, an A-level omega was shrinking in the bathroom.

It was damn dangerous. Even if he was a second too slow, Xu Jiale feared that someone might suddenly bite into Fu Xiaoyu’s neck.

He dashed out of the auditorium with a display of agility he hadn’t exhibited since he was young. In less than a minute, he reached the underground omega restroom. Fu Xiaoyu wasn’t foolish; he had found a secluded bathroom stall where there was no one else.

But Xu Jiale was cautious. He picked up a sign that read “Cleaning in Progress, Do Not Enter” from the side and hung it at the bathroom door. Then, he entered the restroom and knocked on each stall door one by one.

When he knocked on the door of the third stall, a weak voice from an omega finally came, “In here…”

“Open the door,” Xu Jiale said.

Before he finished speaking, the door of the stall burst open eagerly. A body that was warm to the touch fell into his arms.

The scent of magnolia dominated his entire brain at that moment. It was no longer just a sweet scent; it was the pheromones of an A-level omega, sweet to the core and even slightly musky.

Xu Jiale couldn’t resist it. Those were the scents emanating from the depths of an omega’s body.

Xu Jiale’s nose couldn’t help but inhale deeply, but at the same time, he struggled to push Fu Xiaoyu away.

Perhaps it was his rejection that made Fu Xiaoyu feel afraid. Fu Xiaoyu clung tightly to him, nearly burying his entire face in Xu Jiale’s neck. “Xu Jiale, I’m in heat…”

He was like a little beast, sniffing Xu Jiale’s neck frantically, simultaneously trying to squeeze himself into Xu Jiale’s embrace. “I’m in heat.”

“I fucking know.”

In his mind, Xu Jiale thought, and he pushed Fu Xiaoyu away, his hand firmly pressing against Fu Xiaoyu’s waist, while his other hand, like pinching the nape of a cat, firmly held onto Fu Xiaoyu’s gland.

“Ah…!” Fu Xiaoyu almost screamed.

That was the most sensitive part of an omega’s body, especially during heat. No one had ever touched him like this before, and it felt like being electrocuted. Fear and pleasure surged simultaneously, and he just wanted to stay in Xu Jiale’s arms forever.

“It’s too swollen. How did you get this swollen during heat?”

During an omega’s heat, glandular swelling was normal, but this omega had just begun, and it felt like there was a small walnut tucked inside. Xu Jiale knew how fiery and uncomfortable Fu Xiaoyu’s reproductive organs must be right now.

“Xiaoyu, look at me.”

His expression was unprecedentedly serious as he kneaded Fu Xiaoyu’s nape with one hand and lifted his chin with the other.

In that brief moment when the two of them locked eyes in the cramped compartment, Xu Jiale had only one feeling: every ounce of his rationality was sounding alarm bells.

In his arms was Fu Xiaoyu, wet and dripping due to his heat.

Fu Xiaoyu’s skin was like pre-rain clouds, saturated with water vapor, making it soft and moist.

Sweat beads clung to his delicate eyebrows, and his cat-like round eyes widened in panic, tears gathering at the corners, but it accentuated the wet desire in his hazy pupils.

Fear made him even more alluring.

“It hurts…” Fu Xiaoyu gazed at him, and even his eyelash roots were moist, using his hand to press on his lower abdomen. “It hurts, itches… Xu Jiale, I’m in pain.”

As Fu Xiaoyu complained, he once again tried to get closer to Xu Jiale.

But Xu Jiale had a grip on his neck and he couldn’t get into his embrace no matter how hard he tried. This feeling seemed to be breaking him; he wanted to be in the alpha’s arms, why wouldn’t he let him in, why was he holding him back?

Xu Jiale remained eerily composed. “Look at me.”

He said, “Xiaoyu, I’m going to kiss you first. Don’t be afraid, don’t think too much. You’ll feel a little better in a moment—”

Okay.

Fu Xiaoyu thought, closing his eyes and tilting his head up with effort. Because he was a tall and handsome man, there was a charming fragility to him when he tilted his head up for a kiss.

Xu Jiale’s muscles were stiff, and he had to use all his self-control to remind himself that he was a suppressant right now, an A-level alpha, and his pheromones were the perfect antidote for an omega in heat. No emotions, just a suppressant.

He had mentally prepared for this, but when their lips finally met, Xu Jiale immediately knew—

This was an omega who had never been kissed before.

“Xiaoyu,” he had to pull back a bit, his voice hoarse. “Breathe through your nose, don’t bite my tongue.”

In such a crazy moment, Fu Xiaoyu even awkwardly apologized, “I’m sorry.”

Someone who had never been kissed couldn’t possibly have sexual experience. This meant that the omega in his arms hadn’t been temporarily marked by any alpha.

Damn it.

In that moment, Xu Jiale almost made up his mind—

He mustn’t touch him.

Helping an untouched omega relieve heat, purely in terms of sensory pleasure, was already driving him wild with imagination.

But he also knew very well that this would inevitably drag him into inexplicable troubles and bring countless variables into his life.

This was a warning system that only a seasoned alpha could have.

The kiss hadn’t ended yet, and Xu Jiale pushed Fu Xiaoyu away.

“Are you feeling better?”

“Y-Yes, a little.”

Fu Xiaoyu leaned against the wall, panting, his eyes fixed on him, and he said softly, “But still…”

“Listen to me,” Xu Jiale interrupted him, looking down at his watch. He said, “I’ll make it harder for you to control yourself if I stay here, so I’ll leave and lock the door. Then, I’ll call for an ambulance, and medical personnel should arrive within twenty minutes at most. Fu Xiaoyu, from now on, just endure for twenty minutes, okay?”

“No…”

Fu Xiaoyu immediately straightened up. How could he endure twenty minutes of coldness? Even a second felt like it would make him collapse.

Instinctively, he wanted to stand up and embrace Xu Jiale, but he was cruelly pushed away.

“I’ll make the call to the hospital from outside.”

Xu Jiale didn’t give him any room for negotiation, stepping out of the compartment decisively and slamming the compartment door shut.

Inside the compartment, Fu Xiaoyu tugged at the door lock with all his strength, but it was clear that the alpha was blocking the door from the outside, leaving him locked inside.

Through the door, Xu Jiale’s voice came, “Fu Xiaoyu, you can hear my voice, I’m calling for help.”

“No…”

Fu Xiaoyu had no strength left. His legs were weak, and he slid down to the floor, knowing that Xu Jiale was doing the right thing.

That alpha had no obligation to help him.

Even though he had dreamed of him, even though he felt a strange and hard-to-mention affection for him.

But yes, Xu Jiale had no obligation.

He couldn’t have him like Jia Zhen in “Eat Drink Man Woman.” Even if he let himself lose control, explode, and lose face, he still couldn’t ride that wild motorcycle.

No one would take him into the night.

Even if he had heat, he had no charm.

Because he really wasn’t cute.

…

Xu Jiale forcefully blocked the door and made the call. After a while, the noises inside the compartment subsided, and he thought maybe Fu Xiaoyu had finally obeyed, which was a good thing.

The voice on the phone continued to inquire, “Hello, this is the emergency hotline. Do you need assistance?”

“Hello, I have an omega here with a severe acute heat crisis who needs help.”

The person on the other end asked, “Please provide your address.”

Xu Jiale cleared his throat and was about to speak when, through the closed door, he heard Fu Xiaoyu, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly start crying.

“Xu Jiale…”

“Help me, I feel terrible.”

His sobbing was very faint, almost inaudible. “Please, help me,” he pleaded.

The person on the other end of the phone continued to urge, “Hello? Sir? Please provide your address.”

Xu Jiale suddenly became mute.

Of course, he knew he hadn’t done anything wrong. Logically, programmatically, rationally, there couldn’t have been a better moment in his life than this.

But damn it, why was Fu Xiaoyu crying?

Intense anger made Xu Jiale’s brain buzz, but the next second, he said into the phone, “No need.”

“We can handle it ourselves.”

He hung up the phone and also disconnected his own sanity.

With a loud “bang,” he pushed open the bathroom door and picked up the curled-up omega from the floor, then roughly pressed him against the partition door.

“Stand straight—”

He almost said it sternly.

It shouldn’t have been like this, but he couldn’t restrain himself.

He almost forcefully pushed down, capturing the warm and protruding gland of the omega with his lips.

From the moment he learned about the true relationship between Fu Xiaoyu and Han Jiangque, he wanted to distance himself from this omega.

Because he made him think completely and entirely of his omega father, Murong Jingya.

They were exactly the same.

Using their beautiful appearance and perfect bodies to captivate higher-tier alphas and using that to fulfill their ambitions in their careers.

After becoming an adult, he had avoided Murong Jingya at all costs. How could he possibly want to get close to Fu Xiaoyu?

Fu Xiaoyu—

Why did he choose me?

As he gently sucked, he thought angrily.

Damn it, this isn’t fair.
