The other party was a female alpha, and her pheromone level was very high. She knew Jiang Yujin, but she didn't turn on the lights and be completely open with him.

The young man was slightly out of breath. A temporary mark had been placed on the glands on the back of his neck by an unfamiliar alpha. In that moment of confusion, he didn't hear a bunch of things the alpha on the other side said.

After a short pause, Jiang Yujin said softly, "Sorry, I came to the wrong room. I'll leave right away."

"Young Master Jiang thinks he can just leave after getting my mark?"

The door was locked, and the key was in the alpha's hands.

Jiang Yujin said, "Then what do you want? I have no money, and you marked me on your own initiative. I haven't even asked you for compensation yet!" He had no money, and since the other party knew him, they should know that Jiang Yujin was nothing now and had no value to them.

"Low-level omega, who arranged for you to come? Or was it your own idea, Young Master Jiang?" The alpha leaned closer, shaking the key in his hand, and his other hand restlessly touched his waist. Even though the temporary mark had made him much more sober, Jiang Yujin almost lost his mind under the pressure of the high-level alpha's pheromones.

It is dangerous for an omega and an alpha to be alone together during their heat cycle.

"I don't know you."

"I've entered the wrong room, I'm sorry, could you please let me leave?"

The omega pursed his lips, his explanation sounding weak and feeble: "I'm not Young Master Jiang anymore, I don't have any money to compensate you..."

-

Jiang Yujin returned to his rented guesthouse, his face and neck covered in the woman's lipstick marks.

He wiped himself off with a hot towel in the bathroom, and after his mind cleared, he regretted it.

Why should I agree to that woman's request? It's clearly unreasonable.

The temporary mark on the back of my neck is throbbing slightly. But thankfully, this heat cycle will be a little better.

Omegas typically enter their estrus cycle around age 16, and Jiang Yujin relied on suppressants to get through her previous estrus cycles.

Does this happen to other people when they are marked for the first time? Is it normal to feel pain?

The omega, kicked out of his home, had no one to ask him anything. He had only attended a few sex education classes, skipping the rest.

At that time, Jiang Yujin thought he would always have the Jiang family to rely on, and he didn't need to fear anything. He only needed to learn and like what he liked. But that's exactly what happened, which led to him being unable to take care of himself after being kicked out.

Since he can't cook, the omega ordered a meal.

There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Yujin went to open it, but it wasn't the deliveryman outside.

It's her! That alpha.

She wore a very ugly pig's head mask to cover her face.

Jiang Yujin smelled her pheromones; the entire corridor outside was filled with that strong scent of white peach oolong tea.

Logically, alphas shouldn't release pheromones indiscriminately in public.

"It's me."

Seeing that he was stunned, Alpha took the initiative to speak.

Jiang Yujin took a few steps back, his expression turning strange: "Why are you here? Didn't I agree to your request?"

The woman took out a thermal box hidden behind her back, and when he didn't take it, she said, "Eating takeout isn't healthy. Here, try something I made."

"Where's my takeout?" The omega asked in a barely audible voice. It was a spicy hot pot that he had ordered at great expense, and the alpha, whom he had only met less than half a day ago, had taken it upon himself to prepare it for him and even handed him a healthy meal as a matter of course. "Wait, how did you know I live here? Did the landlord tell you? I'm going to call the police and report you for harassing me!"

How could he dare to eat food of unknown origin?

Jiang Yujin's intelligence kicked in for once; he was unusually clever and knew to call the police.

The woman remained calm. "This entire apartment building is my private property. I entrusted someone else to rent it out." Seeing that Jiang Yujin was trying to be clever, she said, "You have my scent on you. Even if the police come, this is just a private family matter we'll discuss behind closed doors."

"I want to terminate the lease." Omega was clearly angry, and after a long while, he finally managed to utter a sentence with a flushed face.

Alpha held the door open to prevent him from closing it, saying, "The deposit is non-refundable."

"This is an unfair contract, I don't accept it." Jiang Yujin's heart was bleeding as he thought of the five-figure deposit, and he had no spare money.

"I'm not canceling the lease, get out." The young omega, having compromised, faced a power imbalance and was still in heat. Despite his great effort, the alpha opposite him remained unmoved. "What exactly do you want... I've already agreed to your demands."

Jiang Yujin was annoyed by the alpha's shameless behavior.

"Jiang Yujin, you're seducing me..."

For no apparent reason, the alpha blurted out this sentence.

"What do your pheromones smell like? They're overflowing, they smell wonderful."

"Ume..." Jiang Yujin was puzzled. The other party's pheromones were everywhere, and he would naturally be affected since he was marked. Yet the other party actually turned around and accused him of seducing him.

"I really like... your pheromones." Beneath the ugly pig-head mask, the female alpha's lips curled into a slight smile.

Jiang Yujin couldn't help but complain, "Can you please control your pheromones? They're everywhere." Like a flower attracting bees and butterflies.

As soon as he finished speaking, the pheromones in the air thinned out a bit; the alpha was very efficient.

"Are you satisfied now, Young Master Jiang?" The alpha was very close. Jiang Yujin thought that their pheromone compatibility should be over 75%. The rich scent of white peach and the faint aroma of oolong tea surrounded the omega's breath.

Alpha deliberately released some of its own relatively milder and more targeted pheromones.

"Don't...don't get so close."

Jiang Yujin was well protected, but he had still had contact with alphas. He knew that some alphas not only played around, but also liked to release their pheromones.

"I've accepted the things. You can go back now; I need to rest."

"Are you feeling any better?" The alpha released pheromones to soothe his restless emotions.

Jiang Yujin subtly felt that the discomfort in the glands at the back of his neck and his body had greatly decreased.

"Thanks."

"I helped you, shouldn't you invite me in for a seat?" Taking advantage of the fact that omegas need to be comforted during their heat, she gradually became more and more demanding.

"Okay, but you can only stay for a short while. You have to behave yourself." Jiang Yujin considered for a moment and answered seriously with her small face.

"certainly."

-

Jiang Yujin hadn't eaten since arriving at the rented apartment yesterday and was genuinely hungry. He had no choice but to open the insulated food container the woman had brought him, and to his surprise, she had made crab stick and tofu soup.

This is his favorite dish for breakfast, and its color and smell are similar to what he usually eats.

"Did you really make this yourself?" Jiang Yujin was skeptical.

"Aren't you hungry? Let's try the taste first."

Seeing the look of surprise on his face, the woman knew she had made the right dish. "I made this especially for you. I think you'll like it."

The alphas in the Gu family always cook for their omegas.

The crab stick and tofu soup has a smooth and tender texture, and a light flavor with the unique sweetness of seafood.

Jiang Yujin never expected to have the chance to eat this dish in the morning after leaving the Jiang family. If he were still the young master of the Jiang family, he would definitely hire the alpha in front of him to be his chef at a high salary.
