Chapter 25: young omega

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Mimosa

Ming Huan waited for a while.

Yu Hanzhou was simply silent.

Ming Huan did not raise his head and could only use his eyes for an oblique glance. In the afterglow, he saw Yu Hanzhou silently began to open the lunch box.

‘Was he acting mute?’

Ming Huan let go and lifted his chin before he asked again, “Yu Hanzhou, did you hear me?”

There was dissatisfaction in his tone.

“Mn.”

“Then….”

“No.” Yu Hanzhou put a new pair of cutlery that was not too sharp into Ming Huan’s hands, “Eat and go home.”

“I’m an omega.”

“I know.”

Yu Hanzhou, who had yet to look into his eyes, suddenly swept a brief look at him. Ming Huan could not say what it meant, but he heard him say, “Sorry, I did not consider that you may become an omega.”

“I did not prepare any omega inhibitors either, so it was painful process this time.” Yu Hanzhou’s sudden apology left Ming Huan stunned.

“About this, there is no need to apologize.”

“As for future planning issues, or rather, if you still have any confusion and doubts, say it clearly. So, you eat first. When we get home later, we can talk about it slowly.” Yu Hanzhou’s long, even-fingered hand pushed the unpacked lunch box to Ming Huan, “Eat first, and you won’t be able to think about it when you’re full.”

Perhaps Yu Hanzhou’s tone was too calm, but Ming Huan’s anxious mood also became peaceful.

However, Ming Huan opened the lunch box.

The aroma of rose red wine steak fluttered out.

‘–This was a blow in the face.’

With a click, the lunchbox lid closed.

He had just forgotten the memory, and then smelled it again.

‘In this life! He does not want to eat this stuff again!’

Ming Huan’s tail started wagging around again.

“What’s wrong, don’t you like it?” Yu Hanzhou surveyed the two slightly charred, aromatic steaks – Ming Huan’s favorite kind of steak, with a rose wine flavor, that he ate five or six of them for three nights in a row.

Now, Ming Huan looked at that piece of steak, and his eyebrows wrinkled until they were almost knotted. “I do not want to eat it.”

As if looking at a temperamental child, Yu Hanzhou said, “You have not eaten for three days, and relying on ordinary nutrients alone will not meet your staging needs….”

“But….” Ming Huan said half of the words as if estimating what to say again, but only stubbornly put the rice box cover on again.

There was no intention to eat, but he also did not continue to be stubborn with Yu Hanzhou.

“Aren’t you hungry?”

“No, not that hungry.” Ming Huan’s stomach grumbled in a very untimely manner.

Yu Hanzhou, “….”

He placed his clothes next to Ming Huan,

 “Then take a shower and change your clothes first. It’s the bathroom, I’ll wait for you here.”

‘Again, he was in commander style.’

‘Never mind, it was whatever as long as he didn’t eat this appetizing rose wine steak.’

Ming Huan went into the bathroom and found it unexpectedly bright and spacious. It was worthy of a super high-class ward with such a large bathtub.

The constant temperature bubble bath was also ready.

Ming Huan took off his clothes and pants before he flattened his feet and tested the water temperature. He then stepped into it and ran a bath comfortably.

It washed away all the stickiness and chilliness.

It smelled so wonderful.

Ming Huan took a handful of water in his palm and put it under his nose to smell it. It was not the one that he had in the past that was a very ancient sandalwood scent or mint fragrance, but it was a wonderful mixture of fragrance. The note started off bitter but the aftertaste was very sweet.

‘I love it.’

Ming Huan’s tail flopped around in the water, playing with the more delicate bubbles. His cheeks were steamed pink by the heat, and he pinched his small tail before he rolled it around.

The fine dark gray tail soaked in the water and grabbed a colorful filmy bubble that was handed to Ming Huan.

He blew hard and created a fragrant bubble bigger than his head.

After, he bumped it with the top of his horns.

Pop.

The bubble shattered.

Ming Huan suddenly felt healed.

He blew several more bubbles as before. Every time he poked it with his horns, he giggled stupidly.

‘What brand was this hospital bathing agent?’

‘I want to buy it for home.’

‘It was such an expensive ward, with such a wide bathroom, so the bathing agent must also be very expensive, right?’

If he moved out of Yu Hanzhou’s in the future, he wondered if he could afford to buy it.

The soothing and captivating scent soothed the young omega very well.

His tail silently shrunk back, and he almost fell asleep in the bathtub.

He began to look through three days of text on the terminal, and Ming Huan saw that more than seventy messages had accumulated, which were all from Xie Shuci.

[Ming Huan, where are you? I’m going to look for you.]

[Reply when you see the message.]

[The teacher said you won’t go to school for the next half month, did something happen?]

[Ming Huan, are you there?] 

Three days ago, on the auction day, Ming Huan had sent a [are you there?].

Ah, he’d forgotten that he had contacted Xie Shuci. Later that night, he just cried and hammered the bed so he didn’t even look at the terminal.

[It’s nothing.] Ming Huan replied back after seeing that the terminal was still blinking, as if there was some kind of encrypted message.

Ming Huan lifted his wet hand to open the stranger’s private dialog box.

The message was sent three days ago.

It was shortly after the auction ended, when Ming Huan returned to the real world and kept rolling around in the bed.

Ming Huan took a closer look at the contents of the letter.

It was from the auctioneer, saying that the winner of the bid for lot 9 wished to contact him, and that he could choose to refuse or accept.

If he refused, the winner would not be allowed to make a second request.

This was due to the protection agreement between the individual buyers.

Ming Huan was furious.

‘Yes! That! That! The man!’

‘You have robbed the agricultural planet, and you want to come over to show off!’

He wanted to refuse in anger.

For some reason, he hesitated for a while.

Finally, he accepted.

Anyway, it was a two-way anonymity. He could listen to what he wanted to do. If it was to show off, he could just block him.

[Stranger: Hello.]

Ming Huan stared at it and didn’t reply.

The other person seemed to know that he was looking at the dialog box and continued the one-way narrative.

[Stranger: Your words were so infectious that day, and after hearing your praise, I was interested in this agrarian planet. So I bid for it with you. But after the auction, I went to learn more about the planet, the planet is remote, and in exile, this does not matter. But the temperature difference between the four seasons is very large, the day time and night time is too long. The number of plants that can be planted is limited. And the climate is dry, so it’s not a very pleasant place to live.]

[Stranger: Maybe it’s presumptuous to say that.]

[Stranger: But millions, that’s all the money there is. I was going to shoot for a habitable planet and spend the rest of my life there with my lover. But now, in this situation, the lover may not accept the proposal….]

Ming Huan was stunned for a moment.

It turned out that he wanted to marry his lover and that’s why he wanted to photograph a habitable planet. Like him, he is looking forward to a new life.

No wonder he was moved by three words and bought a remote planet on impulse.

Thinking about this, Ming Huan had a moment of guilt.

Originally, the fire was burning.

After thinking about it, the other party was also the “victim”.

The fire washed away, and Ming Huan patiently typed a reply.

[No, no. Yesterday, I drank too much. I should not have said those words, it is I who caused the misunderstanding, so you mistakenly bought the agricultural planet.]

‘I’m sorry, drinking is a mistake.’

‘The planet was so remote and uninhabitable that it blew the sky, he looked at the misleading person, and lost ten million star coins.’

‘For a moderately wealthy family, this could be a lifetime savings!’

Ming Huan could guess what the other party was planning to do when he came to see him.

[Stranger: I wonder, then, if I may take the liberty of asking….]

[Willingly!] Ming Huan cut off the conversation and directly apologized first, [This matter was originally my fault, to be honest, that day I was accidentally drunk. In fact, the planet is nothing good, I said too much. You did not suspect that the organizers and the joint would cheat you. If you are willing to resell, I’d be more than happy to buy it].

[Stranger: So, what about the price?]

‘Ah, you are poor people, so concerned about the price.’

The careful manner of asking the price made Ming Huan feel more guilty.

The other side only had a million more star coins than him, and it was just bad luck that he had less than him.

Although he was very angry.

‘But to that person -’

‘He should be more angry than him.’

If his husband learned that he lost it all, he would be 10,000 times more angry than him.

Ming Huan remembered when he was angry and the last glance he had was of the long and straight back. Since he had been drinking at that time, his memory was already blurred.

Listening to his tone of voice now, his character should be a very simple man.

The fire in his heart was eliminated again.

The conversation was only a few sentences.

Ming Huan was not left with any anger.

‘I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get this agricultural planet back in the end.’

‘The process was tortuous, and the money was more, but…. It did not matter.’

Ming Huan thought that he could find a way to earn a few dozen or a million, so that this poor man who only wanted to buy a warm, habitable planet would not lose money.

With his mind made up, Ming Huan returned.

[You bought it for 20.02 million star coins and I don’t want you to have to bear any losses. But now I do not have enough money. Can I owe some first and pay off the rest as soon as possible?]

The other side seemed to hesitate for a long time as he seemed to be judging the credibility of Ming Huan’s words.

[Stranger: Can I think about it?]

[Stranger: Sorry, because ten million is already from life savings, so if you can’t pay it all at once, there will be some concerns.]

On the other side of the screen, Ming Huan could imagine the face of an honest person who was nervous.

‘Yes, after all, the auctions were absolutely anonymous.’

Who could know what kind of person the same person as him was who was willing to get up the courage to contact Ming Huan like this? He was really desperate and had to take a chance.

Ming Huan could even imagine his urgency when he asked the organizer to send this encrypted anonymous letter.

Although Ming Huan was now extremely anxious and desperate for the other side to agree to this deal.

However, he was still very gentlemanly and did not push too much, leaving him free to make his decision.

As he waited, Ming Huan’s heart was beating faster and faster.

He thought about the three days, if he had not been so angry, he might have seen the message.

Now the situation has gone from bad to become worse.

He had differentiated into an omega and would likely have to take a match test in the future. He didn’t want to just go through a three-year [custody] bundle with Yu Hanzhou and then another three-year [high-match engagement] relationship with another stranger.

It’s suffocating to think about.

‘Say yes, say yes quickly.’

‘Always keep my word, I’ll pay you back!’

‘Balls up.’

‘That agricultural planet is really bad! You bought it at a loss!’

[Stranger: Thinking it over, I think you’re a good guy. Willing to believe you.]

Ming Huan was greatly relieved.

‘That’s great!’

[Stranger: So. Let’s add our private terminals. Let’s set a place and sign the power and responsibility deal by hand.]

There were three knocks on the door outside the bathroom.

It was Yu Hanzhou outside urging him not to soak for too long.

[Okay, you set the time and the place. I will contact you later.]

“I, I will come out!” Ming Huan had to temporarily shut down the terminal, and clattered a little to stand up. He rinsed his body clean and then squatted in the drying area with warm air blowing for a while. He sniffed the back of his hands, and liked the scent.

When he came out, Yu Hanzhou apparently had also changed into lighter clothes in the dressing room just now.

He wore the long beige trench coat he had when they went and bought ice cream, and the loose casual clothes fell on Yu Hanzhou’s body as if it had a straight shape, which made him appear very lively.

Yu Hanzhou was tall, and usually if one were to wear this knee-length trench coat, it would make the person look short.

However, his legs looked longer when he wore it.

Ming Huan silently followed him and thought to himself.

‘This is the legendary long-legged alpha?’

Yu Hanzhou’s eyes followed him and then he went behind his back, “Do not take this off.”

He rubbed a topical inhibitor over his gland, and then put on an isolation patch. Yu Hanzhou’s fingertips were cool and not actually rough, but Ming Huan’s gland was now itchy and swollen even though it had been treated with medication for the past three days.

This touch was still slightly unbearable.

Yu Hanzhou’s touch paused when he noticed Ming Huan’s neck stiffened.

He silently clenched his hand at his side into a fist but did not say anything.

A soft plush scarf was wrapped around Ming Huan’s shoulders three times, so that he could only show his eyes.

“Why are you wearing glasses? Where are you going?” Ming Huan pushed his glasses upward.

“To eat.”

Yu Hanzhou slightly bent down at his waist and fished up Ming Huan’s hand, “You do not want to eat that. Then we will go outside to the mall and eat. And also buy one more thing.”

On the small flying machine, the large and small white-feathered dragons were sitting side by side.

Ming Huan didn’t smell Yu Hanzhou’s pheromone this time, and he asked, “Did you put on an isolation patch too?”

“Mn.” Yu Hanzhou pushed his glasses up and said, “Since I did not know that the effect on you was from alpha pheromones, I made it hard for you.”

‘No, not only this period was too hard.’

‘These entire three years, I have worked hard.’

Ming Huan silently hung his head, only daring to be sarcastic inwardly.

“No, no.” When Ming Huan bought the agricultural planet again, everything would be back on track – except for the fact that he differentiated into an omega.

‘Also, it was no big deal.’

He could buy more inhibitors to bring with him, or find a plain and ordinary alpha with suitable pheromones….

‘Marriage?’

Ming Huan’s whole body suddenly trembled, and he was resistant to these emotions deep inside which made his expression even look very reluctant.

‘Eh, why?’

Ming Huan was willing to marry an ordinary young omega, but once it was the reverse, he seemed to be very reluctant inside since an alpha would be in control.

When Ming Huan was an alpha, he was sure that he would treat any omega well as he would care for him, respect him, and understand him.

However, once that omega became him, he felt vulnerable.

He could not ensure that an alpha could treat him like that.

Once the omega met an alpha suitable pheromone and married them, they would receive a lifetime mark, and they would more or less be uncontrollably influenced by each other.

Ming Huan extremely disliked this feeling.

THe little dragon quickly sorted out his mood.

If he was an alpha, he was more than willing to marry a suitable omega.

If he was an omega, he may need a single lifetime plan.

In between his tangled thoughts, the aircraft stopped. Yu Hanzhou pulled his hand very freely and led him down the aircraft.

The street was bustling with people.

The little dragon’s mouth was very picky, and he looked very uninterested as he passed several restaurants. The dragon’s blood lineage was still rooted in his bones and blood, and now every cell in his body seemed to be screaming “want to eat meat” and “want lots and lots of meat”.

Yu Hanzhou was going to take him to a famous barbecue restaurant, but passed by a sweets store.

The little dragon beside him stopped in his tracks.

This dessert store was different from the one that he and Yu Hanzhou had been to before.

The dessert shop looked very high-end and was a very famous store, Ming Huan’s had seen many recommendations on the Star website.

The dessert store’s floor-to-ceiling glass window reflected a tall figure and a short one. The sweet and creamy scent came in the wind, and Yu Hanzhou seemed to remember something. “You want to eat?”

The young dragon raised his eyes, and his fingers slightly stirred a little. After a certain psychological struggle, he seemingly replied, “I would like to.”

Yu Hanzhou was silent again.

Everything seemed exactly the same as the last time.

“I can buy it myself, you just have to wait a little-” Ming Huan quickly explained again.

“You can’t eat it now.”

The pair of light brown eyes darkened at once, and his full lips pursed flat. His feelings were written all over his face.

“You have not eaten for three days, you must first eat a meal of meat. You have a weak stomach, and it may cause you to get sick and have a stomachache.” Yu Hanzhou did a lot of homework these three days, also understanding the omega growth period so he knew their guts were fragile and their tastes would become picky. “Wait for us to finish eating meat, and then we can eat this.”

Ming Huan’s eyes under the light at once burned up again.

Smoothed by Yu Hanzhou, he was led to the barbecue restaurant, and even his steps became extra light. He even grabbed Yu Hanzhou, while walking and tugging, “Let’s eat fast then.”

“Mn.”

“Can I eat more later? Strawberry coconut jelly frappuccino with cheese and sand honey fruit and black bean mochi tower are items I am very eager to eat.”

Yu Hanzhou, “….” ‘What kind of strange names are these?’ “Okay.”

Yu Hanzhou watched Ming Huan, and thought of his melancholy expression just now in the car. It seemed like the little dragon had something on his mind, and now it seemed like he had a good expression and forgot all his worries.

He thought that his dragon was quite easy to coax and not as complicated as a book.

The little dragon went with him to the barbecue restaurant, and his wobbly legs sat on a high stool as he ate all the chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef and sheep that he was given. Yu Hanzhou found that as long as the dipping sauce tasted delicious enough to cover the blood, the little dragon could accept half raw and half cooked meat.

A little raw meat was good for him.

Yu Hanzhou did not tell him the meat was not cooked since he was in a good mood because he could eat ice cream afterwards. He grilled a few pieces of raw meat, dipped it into his favorite dipping sauce, and placed it onto his plate.

The little dragon ate it up like a breeze.

Finally burping, he jumped off the high stool with a round belly. “Let’s go!”

“Wait a minute, we have to go shopping for something else.” Yu Hanzhou reassured him, “It’s close, don’t worry. We’ll go eat after we finish shopping.”

“Okay, let’s be quick.”

Yu Hanzhou took him to a store that sold loungewear and underwear.

This time, he let Ming Huan choose his own underwear and pajamas – Yu Hanzhou did his homework; omegas were more sensitive to color, smell, and touch than alphas, and many young omegas would begin to have their own unique aesthetic preferences in their growth period.

A young alpha often wouldn’t care too much about what shoes they wore and what bathing agents they used. They wouldn’t even notice them. However, an omega would care a lot. Comfortable clothing and a suitable scent could soothe their spirit and even determine their mood for the whole day.

Ming Huan picked out a few pairs of underwear, and the prices were high. It added up to five or six thousand star coins. He turned to Yu Hanzhou and after receiving confirmation, he happily dragged his small basket to the checkout. Yu Hanzhou saw something else and called the young dragon back, “Go pick out some fragrances.”

He was pointing to the farthest shelf.

Ming Huan “oohed” and “aahed” as he rushed over.

Yu Hanzhou took the clothes to the checkout person and looked to Ming Huan, not far away, carefully selecting some aromatherapy items before he said, ” Change all of them to medium size.”

The salesman took out the small stack of underwear and saw that it was all “XXL”.

Their eyes also meaningfully glanced with the skinny little teenager not far away, “Okay.”

[Omegas are very sensitive and fragile, their emotions need to be carefully taken care of. Sometimes certain thoughtless and harsh words can make them extremely uneasy, or feel belittled.]

Yu Hanzhou also thought of some original words in the book.

“Please also cut off all the size tags so he can not see them.”

“Okay.”

Ming Huan came back over with a pile of aromatherapy materials, and his forehead was perspiring when he trotted over. His heavy scarf was scattered in a circle because of the running, and it fell in a wobble behind him, “All right, it’s all picked out.”

Yu Hanzhou finished paying the bill with the obvious feeling that this afternoon, Ming Huan’s attitude towards him was a little different.

He was no longer that grumpy, and he was usually a bad small dragon due to his temper..

Instead, he was clingy, and cute today.

‘Di–’

Ming Huan looked at the total figure and felt a sense of weakness.

‘So expensive, ah.’

‘He had bought so many things, Yu Hanzhou wouldn’t mind him spending money, right?’

“I broke the bank today, whatever ice cream you want to eat is on me.” Ming Huan was a little embarrassed as he licked his mouth. 

‘Quick, quick, finally, he could have ice cream!’

“No need.” Yu Hanzhou refused that sweet and cloying stuff.

Ten minutes later.

A tall figure and a short figure were imprinted on the glass window of the dessert store.

The cold wind blew through the windbreaker and half-draped scarf.

The store door–

Closed.

He saw that the business hours were written as: 13:00 – 17:00

He looked at the time again.

17:07.

The little young dragon, who had been excited enough to tug on Yu Hanzhou’s sleeve with that fine white hand, looked at the dessert store’s window display and the half a person high ice cream projection.

He was speechless.

The little dragon squatted down, trying to tilt his head to not let the tears flow down.

Yu Hanzhou was at a loss for words.

He did not know that some stores closed so early, and just did not pay attention to business hours.

“Ming Huan…. Why don’t we go next time….”

“Next time, when’s the next time?” Ming Huan did not hold back and reached out to rub his eyes, Yu Hanzhou quickly held his glasses for him and did not let him rub it off so a few tears fell on his fingers.

They were warm, and the wind blew very cold.

Ming Huan’s eyes were red, and his black as raven feather eyelashes were wet, “Berry berry coconut coconut jelly snow mountain honey cheese tower and sand honey fruit crisp bead bean pile black mountain rock box, I can not eat them….”

Yu Hanzhou did not know that a experienced Junior commander that passed the exam would squat in front of an ice cream store while crying because he missed the time to buy it.

“That, berry…. Honey….”

“It’s berry berry coconut coconut jelly snow mountain honey cheese tower and sand honey fruit crisp bead bean pile black mountain rock box!”

Yu Hanzhou, “….”

There is a stagnant tone, “I can ask someone else to buy it tomorrow and bring it home to you.”

Ming Huan wiped the tears from his eyes, and he lifted his head, “Really?”

MH is so quick to wear his Omega identity 😉 No need to hold that side of himself back anymore.
I am impressed by YH, who I thought was a good guy from the start.
The fact he’s so quickly accepted the differentiation shock, with no hint of disappointment, and cares enough to have quickly educated himself on how best to take care of MH, says a lot.
Can’t wait for more!
Hoping MH doesn’t meet Hoth.
Thank you both for the chapter.
