Lin Jianlu opened his eyes.
Above him was the ceiling of Xie Wang's bedroom.
The scent of grapefruit pheromones left by the alpha lingered everywhere—on the blanket, in the room.
The bedsheets had already been changed, no longer the wrinkled mess he had clawed at yesterday.
He buried his face in the blanket and inhaled the remaining pheromone scent.

This is the genuine fierce A?
Last night, Xie Wang got straight to the point without dragging his feet at all, and was as fierce as a beast just out of the cage, which nearly drove him to collapse several times.
His body felt like it had been rammed apart, his limbs still weak and limp, unwilling to move at all.
He reached under the pillow for his phone and turned on the screen.
It was already 10 a.m.
The screen still displayed the message Wei Lan had sent last night—
[Lan]: Latest chapter.txt
[Lan]: Here's a piece of meat for you.
[Lan]: Where are you? Not even giving me an "Ahh" in appreciation!
[Lan]: Lin Jianlu!
[Lan]: If you don't read it after hounding me for updates, I'll kill you.
[YoYo]: Just woke up. I came to Da Wang's house last night.
[Lan]: Ohhh, did you enjoy it this time?
[YoYo]: Pushes up glasses.jpg
[YoYo]: Content and feeling a sense of security.
[YoYo]: Just that my butt's a bit sore QAQ, he kept slamming it.
[Lan]: I never would've guessed he's so good.
[YoYo]: I really like Xie Wang today.
[Lan]: That's great. He must've bitten really deep this time, huh? Think it'll last a month? You'll get to take it easy for a month.
[YoYo]: I guess...
Wait a minute.
His neck didn't hurt.
Yesterday was fun, but he didn't seem to have felt the thrill of alpha pheromones invading his body.
Huh?
He reached up and felt the back of his neck. Smooth—no wounds, no bite marks.
He concentrated, picking up the lingering grapefruit scent filling the room and on the blanket, but nowhere inside him.
Lin Jianlu: "???"
Where's my temporary mark?
He went wild like that, even pulled out the dirty talk, but didn't bite?
Didn't bite!
How can Xie Wang do this!
Taking a free ride!
He shoved the blanket aside and stumbled out of bed.
He was leaving.
He couldn't stand another second in this stupid house.
It seemed Xie Wang had left for work; the living room was empty, but he had set out a sumptuous breakfast on the table.
The fish tank at the entrance held a beautiful half-moon betta fish, its light blue tail fanning out in the water with an unusually cool elegance as it caught the light.
What a beautiful fish.
Lin Jianlu loved fish.
He'd always wanted a pet fish but could never find one he liked—this half-moon betta was perfect.
Xie Wang's recent home renovations and choice of pet were surprisingly in line with his aesthetics.
But Xie Wang took a free ride.
With shaky legs, Lin Jianlu dressed, slung his bag over his shoulder, and headed for the door—passing by the breakfast spread again.
It looked so good. It would be such a shame if no one touched it all day.
Tears of disappointment flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Maybe I should eat before leaving.
***
Xie Wang had been dragged out early that morning by his agent for a fashion magazine cover shoot.
He kept thinking of his omega at home, so he cooperated fully, posing however they asked, finishing the shoot two hours ahead of schedule and heading straight back.
The house was silent.
Lin Jianlu had run away again.
Half unexpected, half expected.
Xie Wang was angry and amused.
It was confirmed.
The little horny deer just wanted to sleep with him.
That shallow scum O was only interested in his body.
How can someone's inner and outer self be so different?
But Lin Jianlu has great taste.
Lusting after his abs and physique, he bolted without a second thought after getting fully pleasured and satisfied.
So heartless.
Just like his bad-tempered self before he was reborn. He might even be worse, but Lin Jianlu was no good thing either.
He was at a loss about what to do with Lin Jianlu.
Marriage requires mutual understanding, and so does a mark. He wasn't the frivolous, impulsive person he used to be before his rebirth.
Luckily, he hadn't given Lin Jianlu a complete mark this time; he'd left Lin Jianlu room to change his mind.
Logically speaking, Lin Jianlu should be pleased.
He's sure to be secretly happy.

X University student dorms.
Wei Lan hastily opened a pack of tissues and handed one to the omega sitting on the swing chair.
"Please don't cry, YoYo," Wei Lan said. "It's just a temporary mark. We'll go get it somehow."
Lin Jianlu kept his head down, his slightly messy black hair adding a touch of pity: "I'm not crying, but I won't be able to have sex this week."
The difference in physique and stamina between AO meant Xie Wang could handle him however he liked in bed.
Once a week was already enough; any more, and he feared his body couldn't handle it.
"Don't cry, don't cry," Wei Lan comforted. "I'll write you some new content—you know what, I'll just go ahead and write the ending. How about that?"
"Really?" Lin Jianlu asked.
Wei Lan: "Nope. How could I write that much?"
Lin Jianlu: "…"
Lin Jianlu: "Then why the hell did you dangle it in front of me?"
"It doesn't add up, though," Wei Lan mused. "Alphas have an instinctive possessiveness. With an omega right there, how could he resist biting? Shouldn't he have to have a taste when sex's gone to his head?"
"So…did I not satisfy him?" Lin Jianlu asked.
That could be it—he nitpicked the alpha, and the alpha may also nitpick him.
But if Xie Wang wasn't satisfied, then why did he even bother taking him to bed?
Lin Jianlu couldn't figure it out.
But he was angry.
"Maybe he was having too much fun to remember," Wei Lan said. "Just find another A or ask him for another mark, and you'll be fine."
Lin Jianlu fell silent.
For now, he… has no interest in other alphas.
He was a perfectionist.
"Come on, YoYo," Wei Lan said. "You're so good-looking; other than that silly A, who wouldn't be satisfied with you? There's a new BBQ spot that just opened near campus—let's go check it out."
Lin Jianlu: "Yeah."
On the way to the BBQ place, his brother, Lin Yang, called.
"The company's starting employee physicals soon. Why don't you come in and get one too?" Lin Yang said. "You're a precious omega; you need to take care of your health."
Still in a temper, Lin Jianlu's tone was colder than usual.
"Not going," he said.
Lin Jianlu: "Only losers rely on marriage alliances to revive the family."
He hung up.
"YoYo, that was awesome," Wei Lan said. "I'm so fed up with the matches my family keeps arranging too. Love's only sweet if it's done on your own terms. Flirting with more than 20 people is so joyful!"
Wei Lan: "Marriage alliances are such a pain. It's all about exchanging interests, no real feelings or attraction. There's a couple I know, childhood sweethearts, but ever since their arranged marriage, one family has been bleeding the other dry. They're already getting a divorce."
Lin Jianlu: "Mhm."
"And watch your WeChat this time," Lin Jianlu reminded him. "Don't mess up again."
"No worries, that was a fluke; it won't happen often," Wei Lan replied confidently.
Lin Jianlu: "True."
Halfway through the BBQ, Lin Jianlu was called away by the director of Hidden Blade.
The director said there were a few snowflakes falling outside, which was perfect for filming.
"I'll ask Da Wang to pick you up," the director said.
"Don't," Lin Jianlu declined. "I'll get there myself."
Don't come.
Seeing him makes me annoyed.
Xingluo Entertainment's manager happened to be nearby and drove over to give him a lift.
"Sorry to bother you," Lin Jianlu said.
"It's no bother. You're the least troublesome artist I'm taking care of," said the manager.
"You know Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi, right? You've met them before," the manager continued, "One of them is cozying up to a sponsor, and the other slept with the male lead during filming."
Lin Jianlu: "."
Manager: "Young people nowadays are hard to manage."
Manager: "Next time, I'll sign more kids with your personality—worry-free and hardworking."
The car stopped near the filming location.
It was a deserted commercial street, temporarily rented out for the film crew as a set.
The props and scene crew had decorated the street with details that matched the world of Hidden Blade.
It was chilly and tiny snowflakes drifted down from the night sky.
"Lin Jianlu, you're here!" The director waved to them. "Thanks for coming on short notice. Come, head over to the dressing room; we're shooting a scene with you and Chen Yimo."
Lin Jianlu turned and left, not sparing a glance at Xie Wang, who stood beside the director.
This scene was set just before the final showdown between the two sides.
The detective had rescued five lives and was being commended.
He stands among the crowd, basking in the applause, pride evident on his face.
Meanwhile, the criminal carries his omega hostage and watches the celebration from afar.
"He doesn't want you anymore." Qi Ninghang, played by Chen Yimo, shoved his omega hostage to the ground. "He only loves his own sense of accomplishment."
"I want cotton candy." The omega, dressed in just a single-layer, huddled in the snow.
Chen Yimo lifted his chin: "Hmm?"
"What do you take me for?" the criminal sneered. "You're worthless now. I'm about to kill you, or maybe sell you off, and you're telling me you want cotton candy?"
The omega lowered his head and curled up shivering in the corner. His cheeks, neck, and wrists were covered in mottled bruises, but his face was still shockingly beautiful.
The criminal cursed him a few times and shoved him into a car, binding him tightly before stepping away to find cotton candy—only to fall right into the trap carefully laid for him.
"You can start crying now," the director said. "Lin Jianlu, blink your eyes and shed a tear, you know that 'pitiful and heartbreaking' kind of crying."
The director called out with practiced ease, "Da Wang, come! Make him cry."
Director: "A slight quivering of the lips, then a tear and a bit of crying—keep it standard."
Xie Wang: "Ssss… I'm not good at this kind of thing. Let me think."
Lin Jianlu: "???"
The alpha who'd had his way with him last night was dressed in a suit fitting for the scene, with a slash of makeup mimicking a knife scar across his face, making him look both cool and wild.
Freeloader devil.
Only sex, no temporary mark.
I exposed my neck so many times yesterday, but it was all in vain.
It was for you to bite, not for me to stick out into the cold.
If you don't know what to do with your teeth, donate them to the needy.
Before Xie Wang even approached, the moment the omega saw him, he blinked once and started crying.
The omega's face was still expressionless and looked cold and distant, only biting his lip as he looked at him, letting tears slip down his face.
Lin Jianlu's eyelashes and cheeks were damp.
I slept with him for nothing.
Now I have to hook him all over again and sleep with him again.
He was almost out of tricks, having used nearly all of them.
His skills were still on cooldown, and if he hooked again, he would spill the beans.
He had never suffered such a big setback in his life.
The omega looked thoroughly heartbroken, and even a little angry.
Director: "???" This is stolen from https://chipoholictranslations.blogspot.com/p/homepage.html
Chen Yimo: "?"
"A bit OTT there, buddy," Chen Yimo said. "That's not little crying; that's full-blown crying."
Xie Wang felt on edge.
