[H] The Joy of a Scummy A Becoming an O - JSABO Chapter 1

The weather was just right. Although it wasn’t quite summer yet, the sunlight had already begun to radiate its warmth, eagerly piercing through the restaurant’s large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Yu Xian rested his chin on his hand, daydreaming. His wandering gaze was unconsciously drawn to the sunlight-tinged chestnut hair of someone sitting by the window.

After staring for just a couple of seconds, Yu Xian quickly raised the menu in his hand to cover his face, sneakily glancing at the table near the window.

His eyes fixated on the person with that chestnut hair—a figure with chiseled features and an aura of cold, noble detachment. “Da Pang, do you think they’re on a date?”

The person called Da Pang, sitting across from Yu Xian and currently buried in his dessert, lifted his head and followed Yu Xian’s gaze. “It’s obvious. They’re either discussing work or on a blind date. But don’t worry, with my years of experience in the love game and detective work, that Alpha definitely isn’t interested. Give it a minute; he’s about to leave.”

“Leaving already?”

Sure enough, the Alpha gave a slight nod to the Omega sitting across from him, stood up, grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair, and strode out of the restaurant.

“Haha! Told you! You owe me this meal!” Da Pang wiped his mouth with a napkin and gave Yu Xian a smug look. “The handsome Alpha is gone, the little Omega is left alone. Xian-ge, your chance is here! Aren’t you going over?”

Go?

Of course, he was going!

Yu Xian straightened his naturally curly black hair, trying to smooth out the little unruly bits at his forehead. He gave Da Pang a thumbs-up. “Thanks for the heads-up, Fatty! I’m heading over!”

“Hey! Where are you going?” Da Pang shouted in surprise as Yu Xian dashed off. He glanced towards the window. “That Omega is still over there, right? Hey! And what about the bill…?”

Yu Xian rushed out of the restaurant and, after rounding the corner, spotted the Alpha who had just washed his hands and exited the restroom. He quickly turned his head, pretending to look at the advertisement posters on the wall, and brushed past the Alpha as though he were heading to the restroom.

After walking a few steps, he turned around again, casually tailing the Alpha into the elevator and heading up to the ninth floor.

There were too many people in the elevator, making it awkward to strike up a conversation. But as soon as they stepped out, Yu Xian found himself staring down at the hotel carpet, feeling a bit conspicuous.

Yu Xian scratched his head, unsure what to do next.

Suddenly, the Alpha stopped in his tracks, grabbed Yu Xian’s hand, and swiftly pulled him along.

A faint, woody scent from the Alpha swept through the air as they ran, his chestnut hair fluttering and catching the light, like… like a beacon of love.

Yu Xian’s eyes widened: Huh? Is this… springtime?

Before he could react, he was dragged into a hidden storage room, a hand covering his mouth.

The Alpha gestured for silence before removing his hand from Yu Xian’s face. Then, he pulled out his phone and made a low, hushed call: “Guanghe Hotel, ninth floor. Six armed men, masked. Likely mercenaries. Look into it…”

Yu Xian was dumbfounded: What the hell? Trouble again? I was just on vacation… No, wait, I am on vacation. What does this have to do with me?

Well, might as well take advantage of the situation.

Hmm… mercenaries, huh? Should I act scared? Alphas usually like soft and delicate Omegas, right?

That could work.

So, Yu Xian relaxed his fingers and gently scratched the back of the Alpha’s hand on the metal shelf with his soft fingertips. “Oh my…”

He barely got the words out.

The Alpha visibly froze at the sensation on his hand, quickly put his phone away, and scrutinized Yu Xian. “And you? Why are you following me? Are you with those guys?”

Yu Xian awkwardly withdrew his hand. This wasn’t going as he’d imagined. “What guys? I don’t know anything. I was just heading in the same direction. Who’s following you?”

As soon as he said it, Yu Xian wanted to slap himself. He was trying to hit on the Alpha. What was he even saying? Just stick to the plan and flirt!

He collected his thoughts, ready to walk back his words and initiate some proper flirting, when a stifled moan interrupted him.

Yu Xian finally noticed the sweet, creamy scent filling the storage room.

The Alpha furrowed his brow and headed toward the source of the sound. Yu Xian followed closely behind and saw a petite Omega in a hotel staff uniform, eyes wet with suppressed desire.

In this tighter corner, the creamy scent of the Omega’s heat was now mixed with the cold, soothing cedarwood pheromones emitted by the Alpha.

Kneeling beside the Omega, the Alpha pulled out an inhibitor, injected it into the Omega’s body, and swiftly knocked the person out with a chop.

The sharp, wintry cedarwood scent was still floating in the air, threading through Yu Xian’s nose and rushing straight to his brain. His throat tightened, his heart raced, and his breathing grew heavier as his glands burned with an intense heat.

He bit his lip and clutched his gland, stepping back a bit, but the space was too small, and he couldn’t escape the overwhelming scent.

With red-rimmed eyes, Yu Xian gripped the metal shelf’s bars, his knuckles turning white as he struggled to control the surge of blood rushing through his veins. He gasped, “Do you have any more? Give me some too…”

The Alpha, noticing Yu Xian’s state, irritably loosened his collar and undid two buttons. “In heat too, huh? Let’s get out of here.”

The Alpha pulled Yu Xian toward the storage room door but was soon choked by the thick vanilla scent that Yu Xian had unconsciously released. He coughed a few times. “Hurry up, or your scent will suffocate me.” He turned the doorknob, but it wouldn’t budge. “It’s locked, security measures.”

Yu Xian stared at the Alpha’s long, slender fingers gripping his arm, the chill from the Alpha’s fingertips seeping through his clothes and into his skin. His heart raced like a cat scratching at it: Huh? We can’t get out? What bad luck. But also… not the worst luck.

He glanced at the Alpha, who was still trying to figure out how to unlock the door, and suddenly grabbed the Alpha’s hand, using his strength to press the Alpha against the wall.

Even though it worked, the Alpha was way too tall, and Yu Xian had to stand on tiptoe just to meet his gaze. The whole thing looked a bit clumsy.

But Yu Xian, who was now full of inappropriate thoughts, didn’t care. His attention was entirely on the Alpha he had just pinned.

His gaze slowly traveled over the Alpha’s sharp eyebrows, the starry brown eyes, the high bridge of his nose, and the slightly parted lips, which were now open in surprise.

Hmm, looks like they’d be nice to kiss.

So tempting, like pink bubbles of desire.

Yu Xian’s voice was husky and low with heat. “Be good, don’t move.”

Unfortunately, just as he was about to kiss him, he got punched in the face.

The Alpha frowned coldly, flexing his hand after the punch. “You wanna top me? There’s an Omega right there, and you’re focusing on me? Are you looking to die?”

Yu Xian, rubbing his sore face, was still dazed when the Alpha grabbed him by the neck and pinned him against the wall in return.

Damn it, why is this Alpha so strong?

Logically, Yu Xian, a SS-level Alpha, was already rare enough. Even in heat, he shouldn’t be losing to anyone like this.

The first time he acted on impulse, and he ran into a tough one?

This Alpha was so handsome, yet still willing to hit him so hard. Just you wait, I’ll have you crying and begging soon!

Looking up at the Alpha’s face, which was brimming with killing intent, Yu Xian’s brain short-circuited at the sight of that face, his mind taking a sharp turn and running off:

Uhh… I’m hard.

The bit of rationality that had returned after the punch was quickly overtaken by a wave of pink, lustful thoughts again. Yu Xian reached up and touched the Alpha’s abs.

Wow, so firm… those abs…

Kneeling on top, would it feel like scrubbing laundry on a washboard?

Yu Xian licked his lips, his words full of a clumsy flirtation. “Baby, can I top you with my butt…”
