This Omega is Sweet and Wild - Chap 34
Chap 34
Ji Xun didn’t know if he was frightened by Li Cheng’s harsh words or the alpha pheromone that flashed across his body, but he ran away without looking back.
When he ran out of the lounge, he almost tripped over the threshold.
Li Cheng looked at his figure as he quickly ran away. In fact, his heart was also beating like a drum.
… What exactly happened?
Why did his glands emit Xiao Yiheng’s pheromone scent?
Just now, Li Cheng wanted to use his fist to teach Ji Xun a lesson, but somehow, before he raised his fist, the alpha’s pheromone suddenly gushed out and forced back the scum who came to provoke him.
All of this happened instinctively. Li Cheng just thought about it and couldn’t figure out the reason at all.
If this king of truancy had attended the National Health Education Class, he would have found the answer in Chap 3: Marking Behavior.
[After the temporary marking behavior occurs, the alpha’s pheromone will stay in the omega’s body for a short time.
The higher the gene level of the alpha, the longer his/her pheromone will stay in the omega’s body.
Research shows that there are three advantages to doing this: first, the alpha’s pheromone can comfort the omega and accompany them psychologically; second, the alpha can declare sovereignty and warn other alphas to stay away from their partner; third, when danger occurs, the alpha’s pheromone will protect the omega and deter the opponent.
When the temporary marking becomes a permanent marking, the alpha’s pheromone will stay in the omega’s body forever until one party dies.]
Now, Li Cheng, who was ignorant of all this, scratched his head and decided not to care about these “details.”
He would just treat it as if he owed Xiao Yiheng a favor again. Anyway, there was no need to worry about debts.
Li Cheng rested in the lounge for more than an hour. During this time, other swimmers came and went. Some left proudly with their awards, while others left dejectedly with nothing.
This was the way of the competition. No pain, no gain, no gain. Some people were satisfied with “one gain” and naturally didn’t want to put in more effort.
Huang Yelun’s luck was good. This time, he actually won the silver medal in the 50-meter breaststroke!
This was his “0 breakthrough.” Before this, his best result was third place in the provincial level.
Li Cheng congratulated him. “Good job, Da Huang. You’ve outdone yourself.”
Huang Yelun wagged his tail proudly. “My girlfriend is watching from the stands. I have to perform well in front of her.”
Li Cheng laughed and scolded, “So it’s the power of love.”
“Li Ge, don’t laugh.”
Huang Yelun said seriously, “When you meet Sister-in-law, you’ll definitely be more energetic than me!”
“…”
If Huang Yelun had interacted more with the Little Tiger Team, he would have realized that Li Ge already had a sister-in-law by his side.
After a while, the broadcast announced that the 100m men’s freestyle was about to begin.
Li Cheng hurriedly abandoned all distracting thoughts and went to the registration area to report.
But this time, he obediently put on his coat to block the view of others.
Li Cheng was in the second track. The allocation of the track in the final was closely related to the results of the previous semi-final round. Li Cheng was in second place among the ten athletes. The athletes on his left and right were all good seedlings from other schools in the province. As for Ji Xun, he was in fourth place, one track away from Li Cheng.
The athletes on his left and right were all familiar faces. They had seen each other many times in major competitions. Li Cheng was too lazy to greet them. There were no friends on the track. After all, on the road to the gold medal, there was only one choice, which was to fight to the death.
In the stands, the “family members” of the athletes from Huacheng No. 1 High School sat together.
When the other swimming competitions were going on in the field, Xiao Yiheng pulled Youyou to his side and took the time to teach her homework.
Youyou felt wronged and thought, What’s wrong with this brother?
She already said that she didn’t bring her homework, but he actually used his phone to download “Primary School Students’ Favorite Summer Homework” from the Internet!
What a joke, which primary school student loves summer homework?
Xiao Yiheng tutored her in mathematics.
Xiao Yiheng had long heard that Li Cheng’s grades were at the bottom of the school. Fortunately, Youyou didn’t inherit his shortcomings. Although she pouted when doing the questions, fortunately, she got every question correct.
When Youyou was floating in the sea of questions, the broadcast announced that the 100-meter final was about to begin.
Before Youyou had time to cheer, Xiao Yiheng packed up the homework at lightning speed and carried her to the audience seat. He told her to open her eyes and watch Li Cheng’s competition carefully. He also told her to write an essay of no less than 400 words with the title “Remember an Unforgettable Competition” and to give it to him the next time they met.
Youyou, “…?” She hugged the duck and was about to cry. “Will we meet again next time?”
Xiao Yiheng said faintly, “Not only next time.
We will meet often in the future. ”
Youyou heard a BGM that was older than her: “Little friend, do you have a lot of question marks?” She was a little confused now. Was Li Cheng her family or Xiao Yiheng’s family?
Why was Xiao Yiheng more concerned about her brother’s competition than she was?
In the stadium, along with the impassioned entrance song, the 10 athletes once again stepped into the competition area.
Xiao Yiheng’s gaze accurately fell on the boy in second place.
This time, Li Cheng wore a sports jacket, which covered his beautiful upper body.
The audience in the stands let out countless sighs of disappointment and could only resentfully put away their phones.
Li Cheng didn’t spare any energy for the people around him. He was trying his best to regulate his breathing and make the final preparations to enter the water.
Before taking off his sports jacket, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the VIP section of the stands.
He thought that he had done all of this without anyone noticing, but his little movements were accurately captured by Xiao Yiheng.
The moment their eyes met, Xiao Yiheng opened his mouth and said something. Li Cheng was too far away to hear him, but the shape of his mouth seemed to be… “Good luck”?
Li Cheng slowly looked away, thinking that of course he would work hard. He had made an appointment with Xiao Yiheng to win a gold medal to show him.
The whistle blew.
— — Li Cheng’s feet fiercely kicked off the platform, and his body instantly soared into the air. Like an arrow piercing through waves, he plunged into the water!!
The moment he entered the water, all the noises in the world were silenced, leaving only the gurgling water flowing past the youth’s ears.
The underwater world was quiet and crazy. Li Cheng even felt that the blood flowing in his body wasn’t blood, but seawater.
After a short period of diving, the waves gently lifted the young man’s honey-colored body. Li Cheng stretched his arms and alternated between paddling like a nimble fish, quickly moving towards the finish line.
Short-distance swimming was a competition of speed. From the moment they took off, they had to sprint toward the finish line with all their strength.
Li Cheng’s feet fiercely slapped the water surface, creating waves. Looking down from above, he looked like a mermaid playing on the surface of the sea.
In the audience, Xiao Yiheng leaned forward nervously, his eyes closely following the figure in the pool.
Xiao Yiheng had been busy with his studies since he was young, so he hadn’t been exposed to any sports other than running.
Not to mention swimming, he hadn’t even seen a basketball or soccer match.
This was the first time in his life that he was sitting in the stands and witnessing an exciting competition with his own eyes.
The most important thing was … … the person participating in the competition was the youth he liked.
The temperature in the swimming pool wasn’t high, and it was even a little cold. However, Xiao Yiheng felt that the blood in his body was boiling, burning his body.
Youyou was already screaming excitedly. She shouted, “Brother, you can do it! Brother, you can do it!” until her voice was about to break.
The track was 50 meters long, and halfway through, one had to touch the wall and turn around.
When he was only two meters away from the wall, Li Cheng’s arms fiercely swung, and at the same time, he lowered his head and lowered his shoulders. His body was curled up, and his feet were thrown to the wall.
His body was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed out again.
“Beautiful!”
“His movements in the second lane are too clean!”
“His turning speed is one of the best in the youth group.”
“That’s Li Cheng from Huacheng No. 1 High School, right?
Although he’s an Omega, you can’t underestimate him. ”
There were whispers in the VIP area of the auditorium. Xiao Yiheng quietly looked back and saw that in the back row of the stands, there were a few middle-aged men in casual clothes. They stared at the pool attentively, whispering to each other, and hurriedly writing something down with pen and paper in their hands.
If Huang Yelun were here, he would definitely shout and tell Xiao Yiheng that these were all famous coaches in the circle!
Some of them worked in top universities, and some of them served on the national team. They had all won countless championship trophies.
In the swimming pool, the competition had reached its climax.
The last 50 meters passed very quickly. Li Cheng took the lead, and the swimmers in lanes one, three, and four followed closely behind. It was difficult to catch up.
However, Li Cheng’s advantage was the most obvious. He was an arm’s length ahead of the others, and he was still accelerating!
10 meters, 9 meters, 8 meters … …
3 meters, 2 meters, 1 meter … … he touched the wall!!
— — Li Cheng was the champion!!!
The buzzing sound of the announcement of the champion rang out simultaneously. Li Cheng floated to the surface of the water, raising his arms high to celebrate his first medal!
This was his first championship in this competition, but it definitely wouldn’t be the only one.
Li Cheng looked up at the VIP area, his eyes bright and burning.
The youth was like the sun, blooming brilliantly on the water’s surface.
“Brother Xiao, look!” In the auditorium, Youyou pulled the sleeve of the person next to her. “Brother is saying hello to me.”
“Yes.” Xiao Yiheng chuckled softly. “Yes.”
The morning competition came to an end. As for the award ceremony, it would be held after the afternoon competition.
Li Cheng couldn’t leave the swimming center because of the competition in the afternoon. He could only eat in the swimming center’s canteen with his teammates.
Fortunately, a competition of this scale wasn’t that strict. As long as the family members of the swimmers paid, they could eat together in the canteen.
Xiao Yiheng held Youyou’s hand and Xiao Lingmeng’s in his arms. He carried a backpack full of oranges as he dragged his family to the canteen to look for Li Cheng.
Li Cheng was stunned for a few seconds when he saw his family appear in front of him. He couldn’t help but say, “… … You really look like a mess.”
Xiao Yiheng didn’t hear him clearly, so he asked him what he said.
Li Cheng quickly corrected himself. “Nothing.
I asked you what you want to eat for lunch.
I’m the champion, so this meal is on me!! ”
He said this very loudly, and the other swimmers who passed by looked at him enviously.
Xiao Yiheng liked how arrogant he was. He was like a proud little lion who raised his tail to show off. It made people want to rub his head.
The canteen of the provincial swimming center was very big. They found a good spot by the window. Xiao Yiheng put down his backpack, and Youyou couldn’t wait to take her brother’s hand to choose the dishes.
The athletes’ lunch was served by a buffet. There were more than 20 steaming hot dishes. In addition, there were all kinds of fruits and desserts to replenish the sugar content. The young girl was dazzled by the choices. She wanted to try this and that.
In the end, Youyou chose a plate of egg tarts, fried chicken, and fruits. The only vegetable was a salad mixed with sweet mayonnaise.
Xiao Yiheng looked at Youyou’s plate, then looked at Li Cheng’s meat and vegetable dishes in front of him. He said disapprovingly, “How can you let Youyou eat only these things for lunch?
Other than sweet food, there are also fried food. These can’t be considered a proper meal at all. ”
Li Cheng said, “If she wants to eat nutritious food, we will make it for her every meal.
It’s not easy for her to come out with me. I just want to pamper her more. I won’t control her. ”
“This isn’t controlling her.” Xiao Yiheng said, “Didn’t you notice that she has tooth decay?”
Although Xiao Yiheng only spent a short time with Youyou in the morning, he noticed that when Youyou spoke, the deepest part of her teeth were a little black. It was obvious that she had tooth decay.
“…” Li Cheng, this careless brother, really didn’t notice.
He shrunk his neck guiltily. He remembered that every time he met Youyou, he would bring her milk tea, pudding, and so on. He didn’t know if it had anything to do with those snacks.
However, in front of Xiao Yiheng, he still insisted on his principles. “It’s okay for a child to eat junk food occasionally.
Besides, as her brother, I don’t control her. Why should an outsider like you control her? ”
“Outsider?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yiheng sneered. “Oh, when you don’t need me, you say that I’m an outsider. When you need me, you take off your pants faster than anyone else —”
“— Shut up and eat!!”
Li Cheng’s face instantly turned red. In a flash, he immediately stuck a piece of food into Xiao Yiheng’s mouth.
Fortunately, Youyou had been focused on fighting with the two fried chicken bones and didn’t pay attention to what they were saying.
Li Cheng’s face was so red that it was about to bleed. What did he mean by “take off your pants faster than anyone else”?
They clearly had a pure monetary transaction between them, but he made it sound like an ambiguous transaction.
Xiao Yiheng’s teeth gently closed and bit the food in his mouth.
He chewed very slowly. Li Cheng didn’t realize that what he put into Xiao Yiheng’s mouth in a panic was actually a piece of orange meat.
The delicate orange meat rolled on the tip of Alpha’s tongue and soon disappeared between his lips and teeth.
Li Cheng looked away in a panic.
This Chaff A was definitely doing it on purpose!
Why was he so lecherous when he was eating an orange in public?
In the corner of the cafeteria, Ji Xun’s eyes were filled with hatred as he shot a glance at Li Cheng who was sitting by the window.
Opposite him, a middle-aged man with a coach’s badge was talking non-stop.
“Ji Xun, I told you a long time ago that today’s competition is very important. If you want to continue your studies, if you want to go to the national team for training, then you have to at least get a gold medal!
But look at what you’ve been doing all morning!
50. You set out later than the others and only got a silver medal!
What’s with the 100? Isn’t that your strength? You can’t even beat an Omega?!! ”
The coach rambled on. Seeing that Ji Xun wasn’t listening at all, he suddenly became angry and slammed the table. “Ji Xun, are you f * cking listening to me or not?”
Ji Xun didn’t answer. Instead, he asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic.
“Coach, if an Omega suddenly has the smell of an Alpha’s pheromone, what would be the reason?”
“…” The coach was baffled. “Why are you asking this?”
“Can’t I just ask?”
The coach thought for a moment and replied, “That depends on what kind of person the Omega is.
If it’s an ordinary Omega, then it’s very likely that they’ve just been marked and still have an Alpha’s pheromone on their body.
If that Omega is an athlete, then it’s possible that they’ve been injected with illegal drugs, such as hormones formulated with artificial Alpha’s pheromone. ”
“Injected with hormones?”
The coach was stunned for a moment and suddenly reacted.
He looked at Ji Xun and then looked back at Li Cheng who was by the window. “Do you suspect that Li Cheng …?”
“It’s not a suspicion,” Ji Xun said.
“When I was in the lounge today, I did smell an Alpha’s scent on his body.”
The coach’s expression was solemn and he said suspiciously, “But it’s also possible that he’s just been marked.”
“Impossible,” Ji Xun said firmly.
Ji Xun said firmly, “Which Alpha would take a fancy to an Omega like Li Cheng?
Besides, even if he really didn’t inject hormones, the drug tester could give him a little trouble. It’s enough to affect his state of competition. ”
“…” The coach hesitated for a moment. It was despicable to report another player without any clear evidence.
But in the end, his desire to see his beloved disciple win the championship took over. He still selfishly chose to stand by Ji Xun’s side.
After all … it was too eye-catching for an Omega to be in the limelight in the speed pool.
