HISO Chapter 93
by VolareChapter 93: He Doesn’t Want Me Anymore
Why does he have to be so close?
Even if this Alpha’s brain has gone completely haywire, how could he pin a stranger against the door?
Could it be that… he recognized him a long time ago?
This realization sent Yu An’s brain into a dizzying spin, and he stood there dumbfounded, frozen in place.
The scent of sandalwood was extremely close.
Silently intertwining, strand by strand, with the faint aroma of jasmine.
Xie Jinsheng lowered his eyes, gazing at the small Omega he had pinned down.
His body was slender and frail, as if he could be crushed with the slightest force.
His round eyes blinked unceasingly, still not quite grasping the situation, his rosy lips slightly parted, seemingly still dazed.
But even if he was slow-witted and foolish, he should be able to belatedly realize the meaning conveyed by his actions, which was—he had recognized him.
The pinned-down boy’s body trembled slightly.
His brain was starting to reboot.
Xie Jinsheng couldn’t help but feel a surge of anticipation in his heart.
He wondered how he would talk to him, how he would treat this sudden, yet long-planned “reunion”?
Although from Yu An’s perspective, they hadn’t seen each other for many days.
But for him, they had never truly been apart.
Because every night, he couldn’t help but secretly use his tentacles to search for his location, uncontrollably crawling into his bed, watching him in the middle of the night.
Like some kind of shadowy ghost, clinging to this well-behaved, soft Omega in the dark. It felt like if he looked away even for a moment, his heart would ache endlessly.
He thought.
He truly had developed a different kind of feeling for this boy.
Even if he denied it countless times in his heart, his gaze, his tentacles, his heartbeat… would remind him countless times.
Being separated once had made him honest.
He wanted to appear before him openly and honestly.
He also wanted to receive a little, even a brief, response.
He suddenly seemed to become bold and timid, expectant and afraid, anxious and patient. Some words that shouldn’t have appeared on a monster were the best description of his current mood.
“Yu An,” he called out to him, full of expectation.
The boy’s eyelashes trembled at the sound of his name.
It seemed that he had completely come back to his senses.
Xie Jinsheng suddenly didn’t know how to touch him, until he caught sight of a speck of white snow on his fair neck.
He wanted to wipe it away for him.
But as soon as he raised his hand.
The boy seemed to sense some kind of danger.
“Don’t…”
Yu An subconsciously struggled, feeling a sudden, inexplicable sensitivity in the back of his neck.
Xie Jinsheng was slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he had already grabbed the boy’s slender waist, forcefully pinning him against the wall, asking, “…What did you say? Say it again.”
He just wanted to wipe away the snow on the side of his neck.
What did he think he was going to do, mark his gland?
But even if he was going to mark him, the person in his arms wasn’t like this before.
Back in the Ruined City, the well-behaved, soft Omega had proactively lowered his head, tiptoeing to get closer to him…
It seemed like he could do anything.
He would actively hug his waist, snuggle into his arms, and even sweetly call him husband.
But now, everything was different.
The boy seemed particularly panicked, his almond-shaped eyes trembling for a moment, saying, “Xie Jinsheng, you, don’t do this…”
As if he was treating him like a rabid dog waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.
This expression stabbed Xie Jinsheng’s heart with pain, and he tightened his grip on the slender waist in his arms, coldly laughing, “Aren’t you happy to see me?”
Why was he always avoiding him?
“Don’t look at me with that kind of gaze again, or else I’ll—”
Or else what, bite him until he cried?
Or even go further, and possess him on the spot.
The Omega seemed to sense the danger, his eyes becoming even wetter with fright, the corners of his eyes tinged with a faint red, his whole body trembling, shaking uncontrollably.
He was afraid.
It felt like Xie Jinsheng’s heart had been stabbed with a knife, bloody and raw, and all malicious thoughts were suppressed.
He didn’t want to treat him like that.
He didn’t want to see him show a look of fear.
He just wanted to talk to him properly.
But with just that pause, the boy took advantage of his carelessness and quickly ran out the door.
Xie Jinsheng subconsciously wanted to grab him.
But he only touched a corner of his clothes.
The fabric was too smooth, slipping through his fingers, just like Yu An.
The slender, frail figure disappeared from his sight in a short while.
It seemed like no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t catch him.
Xie Jinsheng stood there stunned.
A wave of discomfort suddenly surged through his body.
Like a drowning person desperately grabbing for a piece of driftwood, he went to the bed, his body’s instincts tormenting him, his mind only wanting to frantically capture that trace of jasmine.
But it was too faint.
Yu An hadn’t stayed on the bed for long at all.
No matter how much he sniffed on his bedding, he could only extract a trace of pheromones.
After a long while, Xie Jinsheng belatedly realized that his heat was coming soon.
During this period, Alphas were particularly vulnerable, sensitive, and insecure.
In the past, he would always alleviate his approaching heat by killing a large number of infected creatures, but now, his mind was only frantically yearning for his Omega, and craving the light fragrance of jasmine.
But the scene of the boy fleeing in a panic just now was repeatedly piercing his heart.
—His Omega didn’t want him anymore.
He wouldn’t have a wife anymore.
The more Xie Jinsheng thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, several veins bulging on his forehead, his black eyes seemingly reflecting a bloody hue.
Until he saw two small pieces of clothing dropped in the corner.
The familiar scent of jasmine.
Yu An’s things.
He seemed to come alive again, sniffing them like a pervert.
Like a madman.
This only slightly relieved him.
Xie Jinsheng breathed heavily, his mind finally regaining a bit of clarity.
Half an hour ago.
He was planning to fight that man with the broken eyebrow, when suddenly, in the wind and snow, he smelled a sweet jasmine fragrance.
In that instant, he seemed to forget all attacks and defenses, only wanting to ensure his safety.
But no matter how much he searched.
His tentacles couldn’t find any trace of his scent.
He searched for a long time in the snow, thinking wildly along the way, and only by following a few footprints did he discover that Yu An had already returned.
He was talking to a female Alpha.
They were so close.
It made him want to go crazy, wanting to drag him into his arms regardless.
But he caught sight of the liveliness and commotion surrounding the boy.
It was so alluring.
And it seemed like he could never enter his world.
Especially when he saw that Yu An suddenly wanted to switch to the outer team, was he avoiding him?
He tried to suppress his emotions, wanting to ask him, or talk to him. But he was met with this result.
The more he thought about it, the more his limbs and bones craved.
He pressed the back of his hand against his forehead, stained with a bit of sweat, only feeling more pain and torment the more he restrained himself. In a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of the door opening.
“Who?”
If he remembered correctly, the other Omega in the room had something to do all afternoon and wouldn’t be back.
Then who was it now?
Was it Yu An?
He opened his black eyes, looking towards the door, his gaze so full of anticipation.
As if that boy could make him wag his tail silently with just a slight touch of his fingertip.
Who knew that he would see a strange Alpha with mist-blue hair, and hearing his question, the Alpha replied, all smiles, “Excuse me, bro, I got the wrong room.”
It wasn’t Yu An.
Xie Jinsheng closed his eyes, coldly saying, “Get out.”
“…” The mist-blue Alpha outside was dumbfounded by this two-faced tone.
No way, he had just asked who he was in such a nice tone.
And the next second he was telling him to get out!
Even Peking opera face-changing wasn’t that outrageous.
The mist-blue Alpha was about to leave.
Who knew that an overwhelming 3S-level sandalwood scent would surge forth, rampaging and sweeping through, almost making him kneel on the spot.
The mist-blue Alpha: “…”
He quickly came forward, exclaiming, “Damn,Big guy, you’re not about to go into heat, are you!”
He looked like he was about to lose control at any moment, like he would go out and beat a few Alphas to death if he wasn’t happy.
The meddlesome and helpful mist-blue Alpha couldn’t sit still:
“Big guy, if you have anything that’s making you sad, you can tell me. Big things like relationships, family, marriage, small things like tutoring in language, math, English, I can help with all of it!”
He saw that this aloof and handsome Alpha paused for a long time, seeming particularly lost and heartbroken, and his thin lips uttered a few words:
“…He doesn’t want me anymore.”
That well-behaved boy who once said he wanted to kiss him, go to bed with him, and even wanted to have little babies, would never, ever pay attention to him again.
