Chapter 13: Dispute

Edited by Sahloknir

~~~

When Bai Yue saw Shang Yufei, his face stiffened for a moment. But he soon concealed his unnatural expression, before smiling and asking, “Yufei, why are you here?”

Shang Yufei squinted, “Am I not allowed to come?”

Sure enough, he was really angry.

Bai Yue wanted to say something, but the other party had turned around and was walking out the door, “Come out, I have something to ask you.”

Bai Yue sighed.

He didn’t expect Shang Yufei to visit him suddenly, or perhaps the reason he made up a few days ago was too poor, and the other party did not fully believe him. It was just that the incident had happened suddenly, and he did not have time to come up with a more proper excuse.

Bai Yue was about to follow him out, but the corner of his clothes was grabbed. Looking back, it was his younger brother who had caught him. However, the other party was just hanging his head, not saying a single word.

Bai Yue asked, “What’s wrong?”

Bai Yiyan said nothing.

His younger brother’s actions were a little strange. Bai Yue stroked his head, “I’ll be back to cook in a while.”

This was just normal behaviour by Bai Yue. Nevertheless, for some reason, it seemed to have touched his brother’s inverse scale. The other person released his grip and jumped away suddenly.

“Don’t treat me like a kid!”

Bai Yue looked at him, “Aren’t you just a kid?”

“!” Although Bai Yiyan was very angry, he could not refute it.  

Despite the fact that he considered himself precocious, in the eyes of outsiders, including his brother, he was just a primary school student. 

Bai Yue did not take this matter to heart and wanted to continue walking out the door. However, he was stopped again.

“Brother.”

Bai Yue turned his head again, the other side had a rare, serious expression.

“Although I don’t know what happened to you guys, you guys must properly talk to each other.”  

He wrinkled his nose, “If he really can’t understand you, simply just break up.”

Bai Yue was silent for a while, and said, “This is the conclusion I want to avoid most.”

After hearing this, his brother was taken aback.

Bai Yue smiled, “Thank you, I will talk to him well.”

.

There were a few sparse and dim stars in the night sky. When Bai Yue went out, he saw Shang Yufei with his thumbs hooked in his trouser pockets, leaning against the door, revealing the outline of his back.

From this appearance, it seemed to indicate that he did not want to communicate at all.

Bai Yue stood still for a while, sighed lightly, and walked to his side, “What do you want to say?”

Shang Yufei finally reacted, turned his head and glanced over, “If you want to explain first, I will listen.”

Bai Yue did not know to what extent Shang Yufei suspected something had happened, so he only tilted his head slightly when he heard this.

“…” Shang Yufei frowned, “You don’t want to say it?”

Bai Yue was speechless for a moment, and said, “If you mean the make-up…”

Shang Yufei interrupted, with a rough tone, “There was no make-up class at all!”

Bai Yue did not speak, acquiescing to this fact.

“You left school early today. But you didn’t go home, your phone couldn’t be reached.” Shang Yufei clenched his fist unconsciously with knuckles cracking, “Where have you been?”

“It’s because the phone is dead.” Bai Yue said apologetically, “Sorry, I didn’t pay attention.”

Hearing this response, Shang Yufei raised his eyebrows, seeming a little stricken and speechless.  

Then he grabbed Bai Yue’s collar, “That’s not the point! Do you know what smell is on you now?”

Due to the difference in height between the two, Bai Yue had to look up at Shang Yufei after being picked up by his collar.   

“I…” He lowered his eyes, “What’s the smell on my body now?”

He knew what Shang Yufei was referring to. He had released his pheromones just now, and the scent may still be lingering on his clothes. However, at such a stage, he was unable to tell the truth.

Shang Yufei raised the corner of his mouth, “You want to use questions to answer questions?”  

He looked at Bai Yue, and the emotions in his eyes were not so much anger as it was sorrow(rather than anger, the look in his eyes could be called sorrow), “Can’t you tell me?”

Bai Yue, “…”

He lifted his hand and gently stroked Shang Yufei’s arm. Compared with himself, Shang Yufei’s arms were strong and powerful, and his identity as an Alpha could be perceived just from his appearance.  

Unlike himself—he had lived for eighteen years, and dazedly acted as an Omega for those eighteen years. However, in adulthood, he redifferentiated into another gender.

He did not think that Shang Yufei could accept it.

Now, his appearance had not changed much. Nevertheless, with the secretion of pheromones, his hormone levels will change. In the future, his physique and even his appearance would definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.

The most important thing was that because there were no glands, Alphas could not mark each other, and had no ability to conceive. As for within the empire, same-gender unions were unprecedented.

Once he thought that he may leak the pheromones that belonged to an Alpha in front of Shang Yufei—thinking that the other person would show shock or even disgust—he felt terrified.

So, before things were revealed, even if there was only one year, one month or one day, he wanted to be Shang Yufei’s lover and stay with the other.  

I have already become an Alpha – such words could never be said.

Shang Yufei did not receive the response he wanted, and on his face was an unconcealed disappointment. He retracted his strength and let go of Bai Yue.

The cold air penetrated his skin and went deep into his bone marrow. As if the air had solidified, it was heavily pressing down. The atmosphere was suffocating.

Shang Yufei could not understand. Everything was okay when they met a few days ago, and there was even a trend of their relationship advancing. But after separating for a day, why would such a change occur?

He looked at Bai Yue and lowered his voice, “Did I do something wrong?”

His tone was slightly hoarse.

Bai Yue was startled and looked up at the other. When he saw the other person’s expression clearly, his heart felt as if it had been tightly squeezed, a little bit uncomfortable.

He did not dare to look at Shang Yufei again, “It’s my own business.” He paused, before continuing, “I need to think about it, can you give me this time?”

After saying this, he did not receive a response for a long time. Bai Yue was just about to turn away, but at this moment he heard a response.

“I got it.”

The tone of the other’s speech was hard to describe, as if all negative emotions had been forcibly suppressed. Only by using all of his efforts was he able to not explode at this moment.

Shang Yufei’s temper was undoubtedly irritable, no matter who the other party was, he never cared much. However, only in the face of Bai Yue, has he always suppressed himself again and again.

Bai Yue felt a wide palm on top of his head. There are some thin calluses on the fingertips, which were rough, but extremely warm.

“I will wait for you to finish resolving this matter.” The voice was slightly downcast.

“After that, can we still meet again?”

Bai Yue lifted his gaze and looked at Shang Yufei.

The other party looked down at him, his bangs slightly blocking the emerald eyes, hiding all of the inexplicable emotions.

Bai Yue silently nodded.

.

After that, Shang Yufei left. He stood in front of the door, watching the man go away with his own eyes. He stood there for a while, and only when he calmed down did he walk back into the house.

His younger brother was still waiting in the living room, and when Bai Yue walked in, his expression was complicated “Brother, did nothing happen?”

Bai Yue smiled, “Nope, nothing.”  

The tone was relaxed and lively.

The  knot between his brother’s brows deepened, “When you don’t want to smile, don’t smile like that”   

He turned his head, “It’s ugly.”

Dropping such an odd1 statement, his brother turned to head up the stairs.

There was only Bai Yue downstairs. He stayed where he was, and could not help reaching out his hand to touch his face, and he could not notice any difference.

Smile like ‘that’? What did he mean?
