Chapter 93: Do You Like Me a Lot?

“Please, hurry up.”

Ji Laili curved his lips into a polite request, urging the doctor to speed up the treatment.

The Beta doctor, unconvinced, quickly arranged for the next Omega. Out of curiosity, the first Omega didn’t leave but instead sat to watch.

He observed Ji Laili closely—his calm, unclouded eyes—and realized that the other Omegas were just as stunned as he was.

The Omega couldn’t help but think:
How ironic…

They had always looked down on Alphas who lost their composure at the slightest whiff of pheromones.

And yet, today, they were the ones caught off guard.

Ji Laili endured three or four different pheromones.

By the end, he was struggling. He grabbed the nasal spray and desperately sprayed it into his nose.

It was unbearable.

His nose turned red, and he could barely breathe.

The Federation’s military school really found some powerful Omegas.

Ji Laili sniffled, “Any more?”

“Doctor, is today’s treatment finished?”

After four different pheromones, more and more Omegas had gathered to watch. They were all determined to see who could finally make Ji Laili react.

But in the end—none of them could.

Ji Laili sprayed his nose again, looking at the visibly shaken Beta doctor.

“Can I leave now?”

“How is this possible… It really didn’t work at all?”

The Beta doctor was shocked, mumbling to himself.
“These are all near S-rank pheromones! How can he have no reaction? Any other Alpha would’ve been knocked out cold…”

“No, no, no, I don’t believe this. Let me check for myself.”

His guilty hands reached toward Ji Laili.

The four Omegas nearby flushed red but still stared at Ji Laili intently.

Ji Laili’s eyes widened as he dodged the Beta doctor’s hands, looking at him as if he were some kind of pervert.

“Calm down, bro. It’s not that serious.”

His lips twitched—he was certain that Instructor Aiger had influenced this guy.

A perfectly normal Beta… ruined by their sinful instructor.

Aiger—the most corrupt Alpha in history.

Ji Laili sighed, shaking his head. He turned to the Omegas and said,
“Thank you for helping with the treatment. It’s over for today. Make sure someone escorts you back.”

“Now, if you’ll excuse me—I have to go.”

With a wave at the Beta doctor, Ji Laili bolted out the door.

Find Shen Yu. Find Shen Yu.

Ji Laili grabbed a passing Alpha.

“Bro, have you seen Shen Yu?”

The Alpha looked dumbfounded. “You… Ji Laili?”

“Guess not. Thanks anyway!”

The Alpha was still processing what just happened when Ji Laili had already let go and grabbed another Alpha.

“Bro, have you seen Shen Yu?”

“Uh… I saw him ten minutes ago?”

“That’s too long! He’s definitely moved!”

Ji Laili released the Alpha, deep in thought.
Where would Shen Yu be now?

“You’re looking for Shen Yu?”

“Yeah.”

“Is it something urgent?”

Ji Laili smiled. “It’s something very important.”

The two Alphas exchanged a knowing glance—
And suddenly, they understood everything.

Ji Laili is going to fight Shen Yu.

They knew it! These two first-ranked Alphas were bound to clash someday.

And now… their instincts had finally been proven right.

Seeing their reaction, Ji Laili felt a little confused.

The two Alphas nodded firmly and declared,
“Don’t worry, even if Shen Yu beats you up, we’ve got your back!”

Ji Laili: ???

Moments later, the military school forum exploded—

[Ji Laili is looking for Shen Yu to fight. If you see them, report their location.]

Unaware of this, Ji Laili received help from every Alpha he passed.

“Shen Yu is in the reading room!”

“He left and headed west!”

“He’s still there—hurry!”

“Wait, he changed direction! He’s heading toward where you just came from—Hey—!”

Ji Laili thanked everyone and sprinted in that direction.

To be honest, he was exhausted.

After enduring wave after wave of pheromone exposure, this didn’t feel like therapy—it felt like pheromone resistance training all over again.

And yet—

He was thrilled.

The system asked him:

【Your heart rate is very high. Our scans show it’s far above your normal levels.】

【Are you about to do something dangerous?】

“Seeing Shen Yu… is that considered dangerous?”

The system was completely lost, unable to comprehend.

【Then why are you running so fast? And why do you look so happy?】

Ji Laili’s grin widened. “System bro, I think you need to update your knowledge on this.”

“Did your database never tell you? When you’re going to see someone you like, of course, you have to run.”

The system had a realization. It began updating its data—but halfway through, it glitched.

Its robotic voice remained flat, but the shock was unmistakable.

【You… like Shen Yu?!】

【Host, STOP. This is dangerous!】

【Did you forget? He hates Alphas! If you try anything inappropriate, you’ll die a horrible death!】

The system seriously warned its reckless host.

But Ji Laili simply replied, “It’s too late to stop now.”

Because at that moment, he saw Shen Yu.

After running in circles all day, he finally found him—standing right outside the treatment room.

It was obvious, wasn’t it?

All this running… for nothing.

With a light sheen of sweat on his face, Ji Laili smiled and called out,
“Shen Yu!”

The moment Shen Yu turned around, Ji Laili’s eyes curved into crescents, his brilliant smile lighting up his face.

Shen Yu, who had been frowning, unconsciously relaxed. His lips curved slightly, as if affected by the warmth.

And then—

A large dog tackled him, making him stumble back a couple of steps.

Shen Yu looked down at the Alpha clinging to him, confused.
“Did someone bully you?”

Ji Laili pouted.
“Shen-senpai… do you think I’m that weak?”

Shen Yu’s eyes held a trace of amusement.
“No. Laili is very strong.”

Even with an Alpha wrapped around him, Shen Yu remained perfectly steady—his posture straight like a pine tree in winter.

Naturally, he raised a hand to hug Ji Laili back—completely ignoring the shocked Alphas who were silently screaming nearby.

His expression was calm, but his mood… was pleasant.

The curly brown hair was right in front of him. Cute. He suddenly wanted to touch it.

And the moment the thought surfaced—

Ji Laili looked up, catching his hand mid-air before it even landed.

His bright amber eyes glowed mischievously as he rubbed against Shen Yu’s fingers.

“You got caught.”

“If you wanna touch, just touch. Why are you so shy, Shen Yu?”

“You can do it anytime—I won’t say anything. Here, go ahead. Aren’t I generous? Aren’t you happy?”

“In exchange… I want to smell your pheromones.”

Shen Yu froze.

“Can’t I?”

Ji Laili tilted his head, smiling knowingly—like he had found his weakness.

And really… who could refuse him at a time like this?

Shen Yu certainly couldn’t.

His gaze lingered on Ji Laili’s slightly red nose.

It was obvious—today’s treatment was rough on him.

And just like that, all of Shen Yu’s jealousy… disappeared.

Only heartache remained.

A ridiculous thought crossed his mind—
If I were an Omega, maybe I could help him right now.

It was stupid.

Yet, it left him completely lost.

Softly, he asked, “Does your nose hurt?”

Even as he spoke, he listened to Ji Laili’s request—releasing a small amount of pheromones.

Not too much.

Just enough for the Alpha in front of him to catch a whiff.

The moment the strong scent hit him, Ji Laili—whose nose had suffered all day—immediately sneezed.

“ACHOO!”

Shen Yu panicked, instinctively pulling his pheromones back.

But Ji Laili stopped him.
“No, don’t! ACHOO!”

Scrambling off Shen Yu, he took a few steps back and desperately sprayed his nose with medicine.

Even then, he was grinning.

“I just… want to get used to the scent.”

“They say… pheromones can reflect emotions.”

Then, just as naturally as breathing—

Ji Laili dropped the bomb.

“Shen Yu…”

His tone was lighthearted, his face unchanged—aside from his slightly red nose.

But he asked when Shen Yu was least prepared.

“Do you like me a lot?” ^[1]AHHHHHH!!!! SHIT I literally scream huhu
