Morbid Attachment - Chapter 21

Ji Wang instinctively exerted force on his hand and twisted the captured beta until he wailed. Qi Boyan frowned and glanced at the beta with disgust, only to see that his handsome face, which was his only good feature, had become fierce and ugly.

Ji Wang misunderstood his frown. He solemnly said, “Don’t be afraid, he can never hurt you again.”

Qi Boyan was slightly startled when he heard these words. He earnestly looked at Ji Wang and agreed.

The beta was sent to the security guard, who intended to send him to the police station. Qi Boyan persuaded otherwise and whispered in his ear, “Forget it, what if he retaliates against me?”

The beta was still cursing, but only scolded Ji Wang. He finally stopped cursing and fervently looked at Qi Boyan, “Mortífero, do you like him? What’s good about an alpha? Everything he can give you, I can too!”

Ji Wang said to the security guard, “You should do your job.”

The swearing beta was escorted out by the two security guards. The people around them had noticed the situation here. Someone yelled ‘mortífero’ and many audience members rushed over, ignoring the band still playing on stage.

Ji Wang instinctively grabbed Qi Boyan’s hand and directly ran out of the bar.

He felt the force of something in his hand struggling. Ji Wang soothingly gripped the other person until Qi Boyan’s hand obediently sat in his palm.

Slender but not soft hands felt full of power, not like a weak omega. Indeed, Qi Boyan was so tall, if it weren’t for the pheromones and his face, no one would think he was an omega.

Fortunately, there were many dark alleys outside the bar. It didn’t take long to get rid of Qi Boyan’s fanatical fans. Ji Wang stopped and turned his head. Qi Boyan behind him looked at him quietly.

Ji Wang quickly let go of the other’s hand, “Sorry, I subconsciously pulled you out.”

Qi Boyan said, “My phone and wallet are both in the bar.”

Ji Wang was even more embarrassed. He apologized again, then took something from his pants pocket and put his hand in front of Qi Boyan, “This…you didn’t ask for it last time.”

Qi Boyan looked at the scissors-shaped hairpin in Ji Wang’s palm, “You came this time just to return this to me?”

Ji Wang blinked, took back the hairpin, and wiped it on his clothes, “I’m sorry, it’s dirty.”

He didn’t know why these words were funny, but Qi Boyan laughed out loud, “Put it on for me?”

Ji Wang smelled the scent of his own pheromones. After intense exercise, the strong smell of alcohol seemed to overwhelm the entire alley. He subconsciously took a few steps back, “It’s not appropriate.”

He touched his neck with his backhand. The pheromone inhibitor patch was lost during the run just now, no wonder the smell was so strong now.

Ji Wang took another few steps back, “Do you smell it?”

Qi Boyan thought that Ji Wang didn’t want to give him the hairpin, so he avoided him a few meters away. He unhappily said, “What do you smell?”

As soon as the words fell, the alpha in front of him blushed and said, “My pheromones…I’m sorry, my pheromone inhibitor sticker fell off. You’d better go back to the bar. Don’t worry, I won’t get too close to you and I won’t leave. I’ll follow behind you and protect you the whole way.”

Qi Boyan hooked his lips and approached Ji Wang: “What pheromone, why didn’t I smell it?”

Saying that an alpha’s pheromones were not strong discredited the charm of the other party. The average alpha would get angry, but Ji Wang did not.

Ji Wang just looked at him a little confused, “Can you really not smell it?”

Qi Boyan tentatively hummed and pulled the corner of Ji Wang’s shirt, “Where are you going after this?”

Ji Wang said honestly, “I’m going home.”

As soon as this answer came out, he saw Qi Boyan narrow his eyes. The smile on his lips remained, but his gaze became much colder. Qi Boyan said, “Is that so?”

Ji Wang reacted, “No, no, I’m not going home.”

Qi Boyan didn’t let him off the hook, “If you aren’t going home, then do you want to go to a hotel?”

Ji Wang was so anxious that he was almost sweating, “How is that possible? What would I take you to a hotel for!”

Qi Boyan let go of the corner of his shirt, ignoring him. He walked forward, leaving Ji Wang behind.

The last time they met, Ji Wang saw Qi Boyan’s bad temper. Ji Wang had already accepted it. In addition, he made a slip of the tongue first, so he silently followed behind the omega, staring at Qi Boyan’s hair in a trance.

Just now Qi Boyan asked him to put the hair clip on him. Did this mean that Ji Wang could touch Qi Boyan’s hair? But his hands were sweaty, he would dirty it. It was only the second time they’d met, it was inappropriate.

The moonlight stretched Qi Boyan’s shadow long. For some reason, Ji Wang always felt that Qi Boyan was a little lonely.

Without thinking, Ji Wang blurted, “Do you want something to eat? I’ll treat you.”

Qi Boyan stopped and turned his head to look at Ji Wang, as if looking at someone who finally reached enlightenment: “Eat what?”

Fifteen minutes later, Qi Boyan fussily looked at the old signboard and simple decorations in front of him. There were a lot of people in the store, and Qi Boyan didn’t like crowded places, even if the place where he performed every night was a crowded bar.

Ji Wang said, “My classmates and I often come here to eat. Their skewers are very good.”

“Classmates?” Qi Boyan asked.

Ji Wang shyly smiled, “Do I look too mature? I’m only a sophomore, and I’m studying at X University nearby.”

After he finished speaking, he led Qi Boyan in. He asked Qi Boyan if he had any food restrictions, then ordered a few dishes that he thought were delicious.

The proprietress came to greet him because she knew he was a regular customer. After seeing Qi Boyan, the proprietress loudly said, “Xiao-Wang, this is your boyfriend then? He looks really handsome.”

Ji Wang was flustered and hurriedly wanted to deny it, but heard Qi Boyan respond, “Yes, we just got together.”

Ji Wang was shocked and didn’t understand what Qi Boyan meant. The proprietress sighed a few times and patted Qi Boyan’s hand, “Auntie will gift you two cans of Coke.”

After speaking, the proprietress went to greet the next table and the smile on Qi Boyan’s face disappeared. He took the paper towels on the table and wanted to wipe his hands, but stopped and looked at Ji Wang, his face slightly disgusted.

Ji Wang came to his senses. He took a wet wipe out of his pocket and handed it to Qi Boyan.

Only then did Qi Boyan start to wipe his hands, righteous in his disgust.

Ji Wang was good naturedly wiping the tableware again for Qi Boyan when Qi Boyan whispered, “I don’t like others touching me.”

“Yeah.” Ji Wang didn’t intend on expressing his opinion of Qi Boyan’s habits and was still cleaning the tableware.

Then his hand was touched by Qi Boyan. His warm fingertips teasingly slid over the back of Ji Wang’s hands. Ji Wang startled and the cup in his hand fell on the tray, making a big noise.

Ji Wang helplessly said, “Don’t keep teasing me.”

Qi Boyan withdrew his hand and propped up his chin, “Do you hate it?”

Ji Wang shook his head, “I don’t hate it.” Then he sincerely added, “I like it too much.”

He probably didn’t expect Ji Wang to be so straightforward with him. Qi Boyan was absent-minded for a moment, and before he could speak, Ji Wang lowered his eyelashes and pushed the washed dishes in front of Qi Boyan, “But I know you don’t like me.”

Qi Boyan didn’t expect Ji Wang to continue to say something he didn’t know how to answer, so he fell silent for a while.

When Ji Wang seriously looked at a person, no one could resist his gaze: “It doesn’t matter. If everyone was responsible for those who liked them, then the world would be in chaos.”

Qi Boyan only then returned to his senses, “Why do you say that?”

At this time the dishes were served. Ji Wang didn’t answer, instead using the serving chopsticks to take the meat off the skewer and place it in Qi Boyan’s bowl, “Try it.”

Qi Boyan glanced at the food in the bowl with disinterest, reluctantly put it in his mouth, and dryly chewed it.

Immediately after, one bite, then another bite. Before he knew it, Qi Boyan had emptied the bowl. Ji Wang continuously helped replenish it. After a round of skewers, Qi Boyan still hadn’t said anything. Finally he was full to the point of discomfort and stopped to comment, “It looks bad on the outside, but it tastes okay.”

Ji Wang, who was sitting across from him, happily smiled. The setting was too crude and simple, but the lighting was good. Qi Boyan felt that the scene before his eyes lit up for a moment because of Ji Wang.

He was pretty handsome.
