What Exactly Does Your Pheromone Smell Like?

Fu Rangchuan and Jian Huaisheng first met in high school.

A beautiful Omega had cornered a few delinquent Alphas in the alley behind an internet cafe. His pheromones ran wild and arrogant, forcing the tall, burly Alphas to their knees, unable to lift their heads.

Fu Rangchuan happened to pass by the mouth of the alley and caught a faint scent of jasmine in the air.

☆

The second time Fu Rangchuan saw Jian Huaisheng was when he was helping his roommate bring milk tea and snacks to the freshmen during military training.

A freshman suddenly went into heat and was taken to the isolation room. Fu Rangchuan noticed Jian Huaisheng soothing the Omega with his pheromones.

Later, as he passed the isolation room, he caught a scent of lemongrass and wood.

☆

After that, Fu Rangchuan caught the cool fragrance of pine and cypress in a snowstorm, the freshness of willow branches in the breeze, the heady sweetness of champagne roses...

Unable to hold back his feelings, he cornered Jian Huaisheng in a stall in the library restroom.

He asked, "What do your pheromones actually smell like?"

Jian Huaisheng had run into Fu Rangchuan several times, but none of those encounters had left a good impression.

The first time, he took him for one of the delinquents' accomplices, grabbed Fu Rangchuan by the collar, and asked if he wanted to kneel at his feet like those thugs and be his dog too.

The second time, he thought Fu Rangchuan was after the Omega in the isolation room. He dragged him to a blind spot in the security cameras, used his own pheromones to make Fu Rangchuan's go out of control, then left him without a second thought.

The third time, the fourth time...

Jian Huaisheng realized Fu Rangchuan seemed to be following him everywhere.

He was happy to use his pheromones to put Fu Rangchuan through the wringer, again and again.

☆

Jian Huaisheng never expected Fu Rangchuan's pheromones to trigger his heat early.

With a 99.9% compatibility rate, he couldn't help wanting to get closer. Fu Rangchuan's pheromones could even ease his condition.

"Give it to me!" The fierce look in Jian Huaisheng's eyes was blurred by tears.

"Hmm? Give you what?" Fu Rangchuan asked, pretending not to know.

"...A temporary mark!" Jian Huaisheng gritted his teeth.

Their noses touched, their breaths mingling.

The Alpha's hand clasped the Omega's neck, his fingers rubbing a red mark into the skin.

Fu Rangchuan said, "Behave yourself and stop letting the dogs outside your home get even a whiff of your pheromones, and I'll give it to you."

The test report on the table beside them clearly stated:

Fu Rangchuan, age 20, Alpha, rank: S+

Jian Huaisheng, age 19, Omega, rank: ACE

Later, when Fu Rangchuan finally caught the true scent of Jian Huaisheng's pheromones, he understood why the other man had used special suppressants to disguise them.

The pheromones of an ACE-level Omega are an irresistible aphrodisiac to every Alpha.

1. Apparently refined, scheming upperclassman Alpha top x brazen Omega bottom who disguises his pheromones

2. Both virgins, 1v1, happy ending

3. Lots of personal worldbuilding. The top is a twisted, obsessive, impeccably mannered pretty boy; the bottom is a short-tempered, outgoing, handsome young man.
