Ch121 - Go and Change Your Sons’ Diapers

That day, Xie Yu saw Yan Qiu exchanging glances with Ji Xinglan when he thought no one was noticing.  

During half-time, while both were sitting on a bench. Ji Xinglan even picked up the water bottle Yan Qiu had drank from earlier, and drank straight from it. Yan Qiu knew that he was doing it intentionally so he hurriedly snatched the bottle back. 

But cheers and screams rose simultaneously behind them. Some of the omega ladies got so excited that they even fainted. 

Feeling puzzled, Xie Yu watched all this from a distance not too far away. He could not figure out what they were doing. 

Yan Qiu and Ji Xinglan did not have the hostile atmosphere he imagined they would have. Instead, there was an ambiguous air about them… 

‘What’s going on?’ Xie Yu watched them in puzzlement. ‘Could it be…

‘Could it be that Ji Xinglan fancies Boss?!’

Xie Yu was shocked by his own thoughts. ‘No way, that’s bad!’

Not only had he stolen so many omega ladies’ hearts, he even decided to extend his grubby claws towards his boss. Ji Xinglan was far too shameless. He had never seen someone so despicable!

After the game, Xie Yu stood by the goalpost and was treated as if he did not exist. He could no longer stand it. 

He could sense Ji Xinglan staring at Yan Qiu flirtatiously. His gaze looking first at this face, then his neck, before continuing to move downwards to his waist. 

Xie Yu shuddered and rubbed his arms, as his skin was covered in goosebumps. 

He just could not figure out how this happened. Till a few days ago, Yan Qiu and Ji Xinglan were like oil and water. He did not know what could have happened in a few short days that could have caused their relationship to improve so drastically.  

Currently, most of the crowd by the soccer field had either gone to the cafeteria or to their respective dorm. The only ones remaining were the ones there specifically to look at the handsome boys. 

Xie Yu held his bag and frowned. He felt Yan Qiu was going to lose a few pounds if Ji Xinglan stared at him any longer. He pulled him along so that they could leave. “Boss, let’s go! Stop staring at each other! Go change! The night self-study session is going to begin soon.”

After being urged to hurry up, Yan Qiu picked up his stuff and left with the other alpha, with Xie Yu, as usual, throwing an arm over his shoulders. 

Even though he did not turn around to look, the chill he felt on his back made him subconciously hunch his shoulders.  

Xie Yu was oblivious to the change in Yan Qiu’s posture. He just rubbed his arm and asked, “Is it colder today? I suddenly felt a little chill when the wind blew against my skin.”

He even sneezed while speaking, as if giving credit to this statement.

Yan Qiu stuffed his clothes in the locker and in only a pair of boxers, he carefully walked past the other alphas in the bathroom and entered an empty shower space.

Three years ago, there were still no division boards in the school bathroom. Uncaring of their nudity, the alphas simply bathed and chatted together.  

But now, Yan Qiu knew that he had to avoid them to avoid a certain someone’s suspicion. The problem was not that he was shy, the problem was that he would bear the cost of Ji Xinglan’s jealousy. 

Hence, Yan Qiu bathed hiding in the innermost corner of the bathroom while only staring at the tiles on the wall like a monk. 

The warm water from the shower sprayed on the boy’s smooth skin; sliding down his neck, spine, and calves, while the vapors covered his form in wispy haze. 

Yan Qiu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.  

‘It’s back! My prided XX mm is back! I can finally lift my head as a mighty alpha!’

Yan Qiu stared at his figure and was nearly enchanted by himself. Even though he was not especially built, his bones and muscles were well-proportioned, and he was just how a beautiful alpha should look like. 

Because of the steam, those who were further away could not see him clearly. 

While Yan Qiu was busy admiring himself, he heard Xie Yu call him, “Boss, I’m going out first. Are you done? The night self-study session is about to begin.” 

“Not yet!” Yan Qiu sluiced the water from his wet hair and said, “Why don’t you leave first?”

Xie Yu dithered with bathing essentials still in his hands, wanting to say something to Yan Qiu before deciding to refrain and just say resignedly, “Boss, you haven’t attended the night self-study session for the past three days. If Mr. Yang find out, he’ll beat you!”

Yan Qiu replied something casually and continued bathing. When he saw Xie Yu and the others leave, he grabbed a towel to dry his hair. 

Just now, when people had seen him and Ji Xinglan whispering to each other by the soccer field, everyone has assumed that they were threatening each other. 

When in actual fact, Ji Xinglan only said, “Wait for me after we finish the game.”

By the time Yan Qiu finally walked out, there was no one else in the bathroom. Ji Xinglan was also not here, even though he had been the one who had asked Yan Qiu to wait for him. 

Yan Qiu sent him a message but received no reply. He wondered whether Ji Xinglan was waiting for him somewhere else. 

That made more sense. Considering Ji Xinglan’s personality, if he was in here, he wouldn’t have left him alone. 

Yan Qiu hurriedly began wearing his clothes. Right when he brought his arms up to pull his shirt over his head and his vision momentarilly turned blind, his alpha senses alerted him of someones approach. 

This person was really good in wrestling. He used his knees to gently bump into the back of Yan Qiu’s knees and hugged him from behind. 

“…What are you doing?” When he was pinned against the locker, Yan Qiu did not even need to ask who had come, even though he could not see behind him. 

At that moment, the familiar aggressive pheromones enveloped him. As an alpha, Yan Qiu would not be affected too much by his pheromones. So the only thought in his head was that the bath was a waste since he is now covered in Ji Xinglan’s scent. 

Ji Xinglan said nothing. He just used actions to answer. Yan Qiu was held against the locker and kissed. Soon, his legs turned to jelly and he could only helplessly grunt while holding onto Ji Xinglan’s collar. 

When they broke apart, Ji Xinglan used his fingers to brush against Yan Qiu’s moist lips. He smiled and said, “I think I know how we can get out now.”

……

It was late when Ji Xinglan brought Yan Qiu to the forest and refused to head inside.  

“What do you want to do?”, Yan Qiu asked warily. 

It looked like Ji Xinglan might be in the mood to reenact their date in the forest. 

It was already dark. With the road unlit, the black sky made Yan Qiu feel suffocated. 

Yan Qiu wanted to say something, but suddenly felt Ji Xinglan pulling his wrist and begin running. “Someone’s coming!” 

Yan Qiu was stunned. He too heard someone’s footsteps and instinctively ran with Ji Xinglan. But when he turned his head to look, he only saw darkness. He could not see anyone. 

Still, who else could it be but Mr. Yang who had the mood to come to this stupid place and stumble around in the dark?

This time, the two alphas did not have to worry about being caught dating. It was mainly because Yan Qiu had skipped the night self-study session that he had to run as courtesy. 

They stopped under the familiar tree. History repeated itself and Ji Xinglan urged him up the tree again.  

After running madly for a while, both of them huddled together on the tree and alertly watched for movement underneath. 

The footsteps following them had already disappeared. The dark forest was silent and only the sounds of insects and crows cawing above them could be heard. 

They did not see any torchlight in the forest, so it was not a patrolling teacher. 

Yan Qiu sighed in relief. After sitting on the tree for a long time, his legs started feeling weak. So he urged Ji Xinglan to leave. “There’s no one here. Let’s go.” 

But Ji Xinglan showed no intention of getting down. Instead, he suddenly drew closer, as if wanting to kiss him. The dark forest seemed mysterious, and since he was afraid of heights, Yan Qiu could not control his reaction while he was up on the tree. When he, all of a sudden saw a magnified face in front of him, he was shocked. 

Resulting in him losing his balance, and falling down…

Ji Xinglan instinctively tried to grab him, but Yan Qiu was a grown alpha so it was hard to pull him up with just one hand. In the end, he dragged Ji Xinglan down with him as well!

At the final moment, right before he fell, Yan Qiu thought, ‘Thank goodness the tree isn’t too tall so we won’t be crippled.’ 

……

He experienced the feeling of falling, but the crash and pain he thought he would experience did not come. 

Once he overcame the brief feeling of nausea, Yan Qiu’s eyelashes fluttered open and he found himself lying in bed. 

The bright spots gradually faded away and he saw the familiar ceiling and chandelier.  

Where was this? Didn’t he fall from the tree?

Yan Qiu moved his fingers and squinted. He tried his best to identify the room’s familiar setup and decor. 

He knew this place. It was Ji Xinglan’s room. 

After the shock, Yan Qiu finally broke free from the dream.  

He was finally back! 

Yan Qiu sighed in relief. So this was the method Ji Xinglan had mentioned. 

Right when he turned on the soft bed, he heard the toddlers’ cries from next door. 

One of them roared like a lion while the other just sounded pitiful.  

He did not even need to think to know that the one who was crying loudly was definitely Xing Xing and the one sobbing quietly was Qiu Qiu. 

Ji Xinglan also woke up beside him. When he opened his eyes and saw Yan Qiu, he grabbed his hand. 

Bothered by Xing Xing’s cries, he frowned and leaned over, wanting to hug Yan Qiu. But the sleepy Yan Qiu kicked him away, turned around, and used his pillow to cover his head. 

He then said, “Go and change your sons’ diapers.” 

Mogumoguchan: Okay, this is the end of Ji Xinglan and Yan Qiu’s story. Next is going to be the original Yan Qiu’s story (1 chap), and Li Chengyan and Xie Yu’s story (4 chaps).

Sarcasm: Looking forward to LC and XY’s love story.
