[Sesame tangyuan and gardenia fragrance alpha × fiery chili and red-wine scent omega]
[I'm out of ideas. I'll write more another time.]
Jiang Xiu was an outstanding graduate of a military academy. His innate deficiency in omega traits made him hard to influence with pheromones. His path to promotion was difficult, but otherwise fairly smooth.
That smooth progress clearly did not include a certain He.
During an expedition, an unknown insect toxin brought on his heat early, and He Jiuxiao, who just happened to be "passing by," gave him a temporary mark.
After waking up with several bite marks on his face, Jiang Xiu asked, "What's wrong with you?"
He Jiuxiao put on a pitiful expression, though the mischief in his eyes was unmistakable. "You're so heartless, Senior. It really hurts."
Everyone in the galaxy knew that Jiang Xiu, the military academy's most outstanding graduate, and He Jiuxiao were sworn enemies. They had clashed from the day they started school, and had been at each other's throats ever since. Whenever they met, they fought like the world was ending, ready to kill or be killed.
They would trip each other up over a single place in the rankings, and even risk killing each other to get a mission done.
But no one knew that Jiang Xiu and He Jiuxiao were childhood friends brought together by fate. They used to be so close they shared clothes and a bed.
Jiang Xiu was baffled, too. How had the little dumpling who used to chase after him calling him "Big Brother" grown into a heartless capitalist?
When He Jiuxiao was taken back to the He family, Jiang Xiu went all the way to the capital star alone, only to be denied entry to their home.
He stood at the foot of the steps, looking up at the child surrounded by people. Amid the cheers, all he saw was a pair of cold gray-blue eyes. Beneath that icy gaze, he felt as tiny as an ant.
No matter how many times he called, the other boy didn't move.
At the opening ceremony, Jiang Xiu's teammates dragged him along to see the talented new students. It didn't take long for him to spot the "genius underclassman" with white hair.
Once again, their eyes met, those same gray-blue eyes. The difference was that this time Jiang Xiu was the one standing on the steps.
After graduation, one of them headed for the military and the other returned to his family. They thought they would have nothing more to do with each other...
But first came that damn temporary mark, and then a compatibility report bound them together for good.
He Jiuxiao was the coldest color in the world: white hair, pale skin, and a pair of gray-blue eyes. He never seemed to fit in anywhere.
Jiang Xiu was his complete opposite, with red hair and red eyes, like a blazing flame full of life, naturally drawing everyone's gaze.
So He Jiuxiao thought that after all he had given, it was only right for him to receive a flame in the end.
One day after the permanent mark:
Jiang Xiu looked at the bite marks on the inside of his wrist. "If you need to chew on something, go bite a teething ring!"
He Jiuxiao rested his head on Jiang Xiu's shoulder, nuzzling the hollow of his neck, and mumbled, "Senior... I feel awful."
Seeing his white eyelashes tremble, Jiang Xiu's heart softened. He pulled him into his arms. "Is your rut starting? Damn, don't bottle it up until you end up in the hospital."
He Jiuxiao smiled and slowly lifted his head. "All right, Senior."
