It’s Not Okay to Kiss Me as Soon as We Meet (ABO) - Chapter 1

“Um, so hot.”

Lin Huaiyi felt her body burning intensely, so hot that it seemed about to explode, as if she were trapped in a sea of flames.

In a hazy blur, she caught a faint, sweet scent and instinctively leaned toward it, eager to capture that refreshing sweetness.

The bar environment buzzed with noise.

Shen Li had arranged to meet with upstream lifeline supplier Director Meng to discuss business that evening.

Midway through the talks, Shen Li felt uncomfortable under the aggressive gaze of the alpha male across from her. She endured the discomfort and excused herself to the restroom.

Director Meng eyed the tall, slender Omega opposite him, a drooling smile curling his lips.

Upon hearing the Omega say she needed to touch up her makeup in the restroom, he hurriedly tried to stand and act as her gallant escort.

Shen Li shot a glance at her assistant, Little Yang, who immediately caught on and poured a lively toast. Director Meng, bound by propriety, sat back down with a reluctant huff.

Shen Li disliked the smoke and alcohol stench clinging to her from the bar and wanted to step outside for some fresh air.

Once outside, the air suddenly erupted with an overwhelming wave of alpha pheromones. Shen Li’s heart raced in panic, her legs growing weak.

As an adult Omega, Shen Li knew exactly what this meant. She immediately sensed the danger and tried to flee before her body fully succumbed to the forced arousal.

But her legs had already turned to jelly.

Shen Li barely dragged her limp body forward, nearly reaching the bar entrance, when someone pulled her into a stranger’s embrace.

Um, such a rich pine mountain silver needle aroma. So the high concentration of alpha pheromones in the air earlier came from this person.

Shen Li thought for a moment and realized the young person must have accidentally differentiated on the road.

During AO differentiation, one released highly concentrated pheromones, but pheromones varied in quality.

As a top Omega herself, only top alpha pheromones could make her legs buckle like this.

Everyone on this planet knew how dangerous a newly differentiated alpha could be.

Shen Li wanted to call for help, but as she opened her mouth, two thin lips sealed hers, swallowing her voice into scattered whimpers.

Lin Huaiyi felt she had claimed that sweetness. She kissed repeatedly, grinding to savor more.

The alpha’s kiss proved too domineering.

Shen Li lost herself in the scent, feeling like a small boat adrift in a stormy sea, liable to capsize at any moment amid the surging waves.

Unknowingly, the Omega’s hands had climbed onto the alpha’s neck.

The young alpha stood tall. Shen Li, at one meter seventy and wearing fine high heels that evening, still found her feet lifted slightly off the ground during the kiss.

She tilted her head back, passively enduring the alpha’s fervor.

Shen Li kissed in a daze until she suddenly felt a slight sting at the gland on the back of her neck. She regained a bit of clarity then—she had been temporarily marked.

A steady stream of pine mountain silver needle pheromones flooded in, leaving the delicate Omega no choice but to endure passively.

Shen Li felt she could bear no more.

She even vaguely sensed that if she didn’t stop this reckless temporary mark soon, if this detestable alpha poured even more pheromones into her, the temporary mark might turn permanent.

Though she was unwilling to admit that deep down, the alpha’s dominant pheromones drew her in somewhat, the Omega began to struggle.

With all her strength, she pushed the alpha away and slapped Lin Huaiyi across the face.

The pain on her face brought a moment of clarity to Lin Huaiyi’s eyes.

Her arms loosened, and the Omega seized the gap to break free from the alpha’s embrace, ending the temporary mark.

Lin Huaiyi’s arms fell empty. A profound sense of loss suddenly gripped her heart, as if some precious treasure had vanished.

Shen Li stumbled away in an escape.

Before fleeing, she glared at Lin Huaiyi, finally getting a clear look at the alpha who had offended her.

The alpha had long, slender limbs and pure skin. Two long eyebrows slanted upward into her temples, and a pair of peach blossom eyes graced her face.

Now her cheeks flushed red, her gaze held a touch of lingering confusion, and she bore the inexplicable grievance of someone who had just been slapped for no apparent reason.

Shen Li gritted her teeth. She had always kept herself pure. Though in this society, temporary marks from AO differentiation did not count for much, she had a cleanliness obsession.

During her heat periods, she preferred injecting suppressants and suffering alone rather than seeking comfort from an alpha.

She never imagined a newly differentiated, inexplicable young rascal would take advantage of her today.

Shen Li focused solely on finding her assistant and did not notice a luxury sedan pulling up behind her. It whisked away the dazed Lin Huaiyi and sped off.

By the time Shen Li returned with her assistant to look for Lin Huaiyi, no one remained there.

Inside the luxury sedan, Lin Huaiyi’s head throbbed painfully as a male voice spoke on the phone.

“Yes, Chairman, we’ve found the young lady. She doesn’t look well right now—she seems… to have already differentiated.”

Special Assistant Gao spoke on the phone while cranking the in-car purifier to maximum. Lin Huaiyi’s pheromones ran too concentrated, making it tough even for him, another alpha.

“How is Little Yi doing now?” Lin Feng’s voice carried deep concern over the line.

Lin Huaiyi’s predicted differentiation period fell within these two days.

Normally, alphas on the verge of differentiating received strict monitoring to prevent sudden differentiation without supervision, which could cause social chaos.

No one knew why Lin Huaiyi had suddenly bolted from home these past two days.

The Lin family discovered the issue and immediately dispatched people to search the entire city. They finally located her in this spot.

“The young lady looks unwell. We’re heading to the hospital now.”

“Alright, get her checked out properly. Your mother and I will head over shortly.”

Lin Huaiyi sat in the back seat, her head splitting with pain.

She recalled that she had been mountain climbing at the time when a sudden downpour started. Everyone struggled toward the summit, desperate for shelter.

Lin Huaiyi possessed strong stamina and nearly reached the top, but when she saw a child slip and tumble down the slope beside her, she instantly grabbed the child’s collar.

She lost her balance in the process and fell.

When she awoke, she found herself in this world, with fragments of this body’s memories flooding her mind.

This world was an ABO one, with six genders in total. The original owner of this body was the heir to the Lin Corporation, and her name was also Lin Huaiyi.

Lin Huaiyi pondered briefly and understood her situation—she had crossed over here due to some twist of fate. She wanted to learn more about the original body’s information, but exhaustion from the recent differentiation overwhelmed her, and she fainted.

Shen Li returned home still shaken, gazing at herself in the mirror.

The woman in the mirror, fresh from an alpha’s mark, bore a hint of allure at the corners of her usually cool eyes. Her skin gleamed fair and soft, like the finest porcelain.

A cascade of seaweed-like hair fell loosely, slightly curled and strikingly black and shiny, accentuating her snow-white skin and jade-like beauty.

Further down, her slender waist felt remarkably supple. Clad in a silky, expensive true silk nightgown, the fiery swell of her chest stood unabashed, forming a deep cleavage.

Everything that happened tonight caught Shen Li completely off guard.

As the only daughter of Shen Jun, Shen Li would have become the Shen Corporation’s heir had she differentiated into an alpha.

Yet fate turned against her, and she became an Omega.

Though AO equality had long prevailed, many great families still favored alphas as heirs. Though Shen Jun led the Shen Corporation’s current generation, numerous family elders held sway in clan affairs.

Shen Jun lacked an alpha heir, but among his generation’s Shen relatives, alphas abounded. Under pressure from the elders, Shen Jun agreed to let his nephews and Shen Li enter the company for training. In the end, whoever emerged victorious would lead the next generation of the Shen Corporation.

Shen Li possessed a strong personality and never believed herself inferior to any alpha. She completed her master’s at a top school and started at the company from the bottom.

This year, she had just risen to department head.

Though her looks and background made her top-tier, drawing endless alpha advances, Shen Li showed no interest in them.

She knew full well that in this world, an Omega endured heat periods with great difficulty without an alpha’s help.

Yet she never imagined getting accidentally marked today.

A marked Omega developed dependence on her marker for the next month. To preserve her absolute rationality, Shen Li never gave those lecherous alphas any openings.

Tonight was an accident, but thinking she would likely never encounter that alpha again, Shen Li sighed in relief. Still, due to her physiological response, a faint sense of loss lingered in her heart.

Lin Huaiyi had already entered the pheromone testing room. The private hospital produced results quickly, and the report now lay in Lin Feng’s hands.

Lin Huaiyi, female alpha, age 22, differentiation rating: SSS-level.

Lin Feng examined the report in his hand and let out a breath of relief.

Differentiating at 22 counted as late in this world. Though prior predictions gave Lin Huaiyi a 90% chance of differentiating, her delay sparked endless rumors in the upper circles.

Some said Lin Huaiyi was actually a beta, and the Lin family claimed alpha differentiation only to save face.

Others whispered she had differentiated into an Omega long ago… During that time, at upper-circle gatherings, tales spread vividly about the Lin family lacking a future heir, causing Lin Corporation stocks to plummet over a dozen points.

The later the ABO differentiation age, the higher the resulting grade and the greater the bodily burden.

The original owner had succumbed to a high fever from withstanding the differentiation and failed to pull through.

By a stroke of coincidence, the current Lin Huaiyi crossed over and successfully differentiated into the ultra-rare SSS-level alpha.

Lin Feng trusted his daughter’s potential, but her prolonged delay had shaken him somewhat. Now that Lin Huaiyi had differentiated smoothly, the weight lifted from his heart.

Lin Huaiyi had long since woken. Hearing voices speaking outside, she quickly sorted her thoughts.

Lin Feng pushed the door open and saw Lin Huaiyi already awake.

“Little Yi, how do you feel? This time during your differentiation period, running off was far too dangerous. Luckily, you didn’t cause any major trouble.”

Lin Huaiyi felt a pang of guilt. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have done something quite offensive to an exceedingly beautiful Omega.

“Rest for a few more days, then come to the company. You’ve already graduated university, and now that you’ve differentiated, it’s time for you to start getting involved in company matters.”

Lin Huaiyi knew her father’s implication—he meant for her to prepare to inherit the company.

“Dad, I don’t want to join the company so soon. I want to start from the bottom ranks and get some training first,” Lin Huaiyi said carefully.

She had just crossed over, and many things remained unclear. Entering the Lin Corporation at this juncture would prove unwise.
