The Young Master Is Still Pretending to Be an Alpha Today

The day Lu Tianjiao smuggled Omega suppressants into an all-Alpha military academy, he thought he'd have to shut his heart off for good and fake his way to graduation.

But during a test, he watched Yun Xingyi, the poor new student who always kept his head down, dismantle three patrol robots with his bare hands. For some reason, Lu found himself drawn to him.

The boy's ink-black hair was damp with sweat. As he snapped the wires in a mechanical arm between his fingers, he looked up and smiled at Lu. He looked harmless, but Lu inexplicably felt heat roll across the nape of his neck.

What could this guy have done to make my heart race like this? There's got to be a catch!

Later, someone pushed Lu into a deep pit, and Yun Xingyi threw him a vine to help him climb out.

“Are you all right? Why don't we travel together?” The other boy crouched at the edge of the pit, his voice gentle.

Lu gripped the insulated case holding his suppressants. His icy blue eyes turned cold, and he was on guard from head to toe. “What are you after?”

Later still, Lu's disguise nearly came undone in a disturbance, but Yun Xingyi protected him. And when he was in danger, Yun Xingyi saved him again.

Lu almost let himself fall for him. But then the boy leaned close to his ear, warm breath brushing his earlobe. “Lu, is there some secret you don't want anyone to know?”

Only then did Lu realize that every “chance encounter” he'd thought they had was planned, and that the boy's gentleness was only skin-deep.

“What are you really trying to do?” He grabbed the other boy's wrist, its skin rough with calluses, but a tingling sensation in his palm shot through his veins and straight to his heart.

Yun Xingyi clasped his hand in return. With the other hand, he gently ran a fingertip over Lu's sensitive nape, smiling like a fox that had stolen a piece of candy.

“Lu, you know there's a better way to hide your identity than using suppressants. But how are you going to repay me?”

A seemingly aloof and arrogant, but actually panicking like crazy, disguised big shot Omega × a seemingly sweet, but actually cunning, tech-savvy poor Alpha

Passing yourself off as an Alpha when you're an Omega is the end of you if you're caught. But what if the person who catches you doesn't report you, and instead has other plans for you?

And that hand that keeps brushing against his sensitive spots... when is it going to stop?
