Chapter 71#
World 3: Everything You Snatch Is What I Don’t Want#
Qin Gantang inexplicably fell into the pond in the yard. After struggling to climb ashore, he found that his flying car had been scratched.
“Who did this! Go check the surveillance quickly! No, you don’t need to go, you’re fired! You can’t even watch a car properly, what use are you to me! Get out, get out right now!”
Qin Gantang’s hysterical voice came from outside the yard. At the same moment, Qin Qing was holding a cup of green tea and drinking it leisurely.
996 ran in from outside like the wind, jumped onto the sofa, wiped its dirty paws on the jacket Qin Gantang left behind, and then nestled lazily beside Qin Qing.
“Ren Zehuai will come over later. I will take him to the balcony to talk. You find a way to lure Qin Gantang to the balcony of the next room.” Qin Qing put down the teacup and whispered instructions.
“What are you going to do?” 996 licked its chubby paws.
“I’m going to follow the plot.” Qin Qing curved his lips into a smile, his clear face beautiful to the point of being somewhat bewitching.
996 was stunned for a while before realizing that the plot Qin Qing mentioned was written by himself.
“What exactly did you write?” 996 climbed up, stepped on Qin Qing’s knees with its two front paws, its big green eyes full of curiosity.
“Even if I print out the script for you, you won’t understand it. Just do your job well.” Qin Qing stood up and walked towards the second floor, stretching as he went up the stairs, his pure white sweater riding up to reveal a waist as slender as a willow branch.
996 looked at his back and muttered grumpily: “Don’t think I can’t tell you’re calling me stupid. You’re the stupid one!”
As soon as Qin Qing left, Qin Gantang, soaked through, rushed in from outside and ran up to the second floor like a whirlwind. His room was right next to Qin Qing’s, but the area was more than twice that of Qin Qing’s.
The balconies of the two rooms were connected, separated by an iron fence in the middle. The fence was covered with lush vines, completely blocking the line of sight. But sound could not be blocked; whatever movement happened in Qin Qing’s room, Qin Gantang could hear very clearly.
996 waited patiently in Qin Gantang’s room, sneezing from time to time, complaining: “Is this the smell of heartthrob pheromones? Why is it mixed with the stench of a corpse? Can those Alphas not smell it at all?”
After about an hour, Qin Gantang finally came out of the bathroom.
Ren Zehuai, who had hurried over, was also brought to Qin Qing’s bedroom by Li Yijia, who had a look of joy on her face. Her son had no pheromones, yet could make friends with such an excellent Alpha; as a mother, she was naturally happy.
The two came to the balcony and started talking over a pot of hot tea.
996 hurriedly scratched the vines on the iron fence with its claws, making a rustling sound to attract Qin Gantang’s attention.
Qin Gantang listened, dropped the towel in his hand, walked slowly to the balcony, and looked at the two vague figures behind the vines.
Ren Zehuai, who had already prepared a draft, spoke slowly at this time: “Qin Qing, I like you.”
The teacup in Qin Qing’s hand shook slightly, and the glimmer in his eyes flickered.
“What did you just say?” He heard it, but couldn’t quite believe it, so he needed to confirm it.
Ren Zehuai looked at his face, which was trying to be calm but couldn’t hide the emotion, and laughed in a low voice: “Qin Qing, I like you.”
Qin Qing put down the teacup, the bottom of the cup hitting the table with a dull sound.
There is a rule in noble etiquette: no matter what you pick up, you must be silent when putting it down. And Qin Qing was a person who had engraved noble style into his bones.
This light thud had already leaked the unrest in his heart.
Qin Gantang, hiding behind the vines, suddenly clenched his fists, his face twisting.
Qin Qing could actually be liked by an Alpha, and a top Alpha at that! He was a waste without pheromones; didn’t Ren Zehuai know? Being with him would shorten one’s life; didn’t Ren Zehuai know that either?
The jealousy that had not appeared since differentiation surged into Qin Gantang’s heart like venom at this moment.
Qin Qing clasped his hands together, pressed them on the table, and looked at Ren Zehuai with slightly trembling eyes, both restrained and expectant.
“I am an Omega without pheromones, you know that, right?” He asked extremely calmly.
Qin Gantang pressed his ear close to the vines, trying to hear Ren Zehuai’s answer clearly. To eliminate interference, he even stopped his own breathing.
“I know.” Ren Zehuai also answered extremely calmly.
Since you know, why do you still want to be with Qin Qing? Qin Gantang almost shouted out.
He grabbed a vine tightly and listened intently.
“When your spiritual power riots, I have no way to soothe you with pheromones.” Qin Qing said again.
“It doesn’t matter. I want you, not pheromones.” Ren Zehuai laughed lightly.
Qin Gantang pinched the vine fiercely, as if pinching Qin Qing’s neck. How could it be! How could an Alpha who fell in love with Qin Qing be so unrepentant? Was Ren Zehuai not even afraid of death?
“Marrying me, you will die.” Qin Qing seemed to be able to read Qin Gantang’s mind, so he bluntly stated the worst outcome.
“Going to the battlefield will also lead to death, and faster. I once told you that life is short, so we should be with the people we truly love. Before the matchmaking agency finds an Omega highly compatible with me, I want to ask you to date me with marriage in mind.”
Ren Zehuai extended his large hand, silently waiting for Qin Qing’s response.
His answer far exceeded what Qin Gantang could understand. Would there really be an Alpha in the world who would rather die than not be with the Omega he liked? Does this kind of love really exist?
Because of his special constitution, Qin Gantang got many expensive things. But he actually always knew that the most expensive thing in this world, he failed to get.
That thing is love! It is love that disregards everything, transcends life and death, and has no regrets!
The thing he still couldn’t get was now being offered willingly by Ren Zehuai to Qin Qing with both hands held high.
Jealousy like venom began to bubble. Qin Gantang’s heart had been corroded into bloody holes.
He wanted this love!
He wanted Ren Zehuai!
He wanted to snatch away Qin Qing’s most precious thing!
A thick vine had its bark unknowingly pinched broken by Qin Gantang’s fingers, revealing the green juice-flowing inner core.
At this moment, if the person sitting opposite Ren Zehuai was not Qin Qing but him, Qin Gantang, he would definitely not wait to hold Ren Zehuai’s hand and take this love.
The ordinary Ren Zehuai became valuable because of Qin Qing’s favor, and because of this desperate love, he actually became unique.
Qin Gantang exhaled a breath he had held for a long time, a flush appearing on his cheeks.
In the suppressed waiting, he heard Qin Qing slowly say: “I think you need to consider carefully. I think you should find a top Omega like Qin Gantang to date. This is more beneficial to you.”
Qin Gantang sucked back the breath he had just exhaled, his ears eagerly probing into the leaves of the vines, wanting to hear more clearly.
How would Ren Zehuai choose? If he was rational enough, he should listen to Qin Qing’s suggestion!
Find a top Omega! And I am a top Omega!
Qin Gantang pinched the vine in his hand until it was about to break.
“What I want is love, not benefits. If I were a person who valued benefits, I wouldn’t have come to tell you these words today.” Ren Zehuai said without a guilty conscience.
Qin Qing turned his head away and stroked his slightly red thin lips with slender fingers. He was restraining himself to avoid laughing on the spot. When it comes to the skill of lying with eyes open, this person is probably the best in the world.
996 also lay on the vines eavesdropping, then made a vomiting expression. If it hadn’t read the original script, it would have almost believed it.
But Qin Gantang really believed it.
His heart was pounding wildly. Even separated by a wall of vines and unable to see Ren Zehuai’s appearance clearly, he still felt this man was so attractive!
“If right now, Qin Gantang and I stood in front of you together, who would you choose?” Qin Qing stroked his thin lips and asked a question enough to make Qin Gantang scratch his heart and liver.
Qin Gantang exerted force and actually pinched that thick vine broken.
Ren Zehuai was a top Alpha; with someone eavesdropping so close, how could he not discover it. He had already smelled a faint familiar scent, so naturally he knew who was on the other side of the vine wall.
The situation developing to this extent perfectly fit his plan.
He wanted to use Qin Qing to stimulate Qin Gantang; what better time than now?
“I choose you.” He looked at Qin Qing’s eyes unwaveringly.
Qin Gantang would only fall in love with a man who disdained him, so Ren Zehuai must answer like this.
Qin Gantang wrapped the broken vine around his arm, his eye sockets unknowingly becoming red. Tears of hatred and resentment swirled in his pupils, ready to fall at any time.
Since differentiating into a top Omega, he had never suffered such humiliation. Why not choose him? Everyone would choose him; why did Ren Zehuai refuse?
“Why choose me?” At this moment, Qin Qing had become Qin Gantang’s spokesperson.
Every question he asked was what Qin Gantang desperately wanted to know.
Qin Gantang held back his tears and continued to listen.
Ren Zehuai looked at the vine wall full of leaves, half green and half yellow, and said slowly word by word: “Because in my opinion, pheromones are just a gorgeous coat.”
He paused deliberately to attract Qin Qing’s attention, and at the same time, Qin Gantang’s attention.
Qin Gantang’s suddenly held breath let Ren Zehuai know that the person cared very much about what he hadn’t finished saying. This stupid prey was easily captured.
Qin Qing tilted his head, his face full of confusion: “A gorgeous coat?”
“Yes, pheromones are just a gorgeous coat. Stripped of this coat, what is left of Qin Gantang?” Ren Zehuai asked in a mocking tone.
Qin Qing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, almost unable to resist applauding. This man was worthy of being the vicious male supporting character who lived to the end in the original script. He only had interests in his eyes and would never be confused by any fleeting beautiful illusions.
He knew too well what he wanted.
What he wanted was not Qin Gantang the person, but precisely that gorgeous coat, because he knew how worthless Qin Gantang was without that gorgeous coat.
Seeing Qin Qing pursing his thin lips without answering, Ren Zehuai continued on his own: “Your younger brother seems to have nothing, yet has nothing. His military academy quota was snatched from you. His diploma was brazenly demanded through Constant’s privilege. Everything he owns now comes from others’ gifts; not a single cent was earned by himself. He has no ability to take care of himself, no survival skills, no gentle temperament. If pheromones are taken away from him, he is just a naked, useless, and valueless person. How can he compare with you?”
Ren Zehuai still spread his palm open on the table, waiting for Qin Qing’s hand to guide it. His gaze was focused and affectionate, as if Qin Qing was the most precious thing in the world, while Qin Gantang, whom everyone chased after, was belittled by him as worthless.
Qin Qing bit his lower lip, making a moved expression, but in reality, he was about to break character and laugh. This supporting character’s line delivery far exceeded his expectations.
996 squatted at Qin Gantang’s feet, clapping its paws, shouting loudly: “Good! Well said! I give the scumbag 100 points for this scene!”
Qin Gantang’s face had turned a pale green like the vines. He never thought that in Ren Zehuai’s heart, he was such an image.
When Ren Zehuai looked at him, he completely excluded the thing he was most proud of and only saw his essence.
He, who was like a treasure in the eyes of the world, was still the Qin Gantang who was nothing, had nothing, and could do nothing in Ren Zehuai’s eyes.
Qin Gantang hated it so much! He hated that Qin Qing could have someone who loved him so much. He hated Ren Zehuai’s contempt and blindness. However, when this hatred became stronger and stronger, his desire to conquer also climbed to the peak.
Fine, you look down on me, right? Then one day, I will make you kneel in front of me like a dog and lick the tips of my shoes!
Qin Gantang dug his ten fingers fiercely into the vine wall and swore a vicious oath in his heart.
Ren Zehuai hadn’t finished speaking yet.
He smiled at Qin Qing and spoke slowly: “But you are completely different. You are so beautiful that my heart skips a beat. You are very gentle and know how to take care of people. You have excellent grades and exquisite skills. You were admitted to the Central Military Department as soon as you graduated, proving with strength that even as an Omega, you can stand side by side with Alphas. Except for pheromones, you have everything. And I happen to be a person who doesn’t care about pheromones at all. Falling in love with you is inevitable.”
Speaking of this, Ren Zehuai lowered his head and sighed, then rubbed his furrowed brows with his fingertips.
His appearance was clearly that of a captive who fell in love with Qin Qing and was powerless to break free.
He held Qin Qing so high and belittled Qin Gantang so low. So unsurprisingly, he heard heavy breathing coming from the other side of the vine wall.
This breathing emitted the thick smoke of jealousy and flashed with the sparks of resentment. If Qin Gantang were given a fuse, he would explode immediately.
And Qin Qing in front of him had flushed cheeks and moist eyes, looking moved to the point of tears.
Ren Zehuai revealed an ambitious smile. He knew he had taken another big step towards his goal.
996 clapped its paws frantically: “Awesome meow! I want to extract Ren Zehuai’s soul and send it to the company to apply for the role of scumbag! He is definitely a fighter jet among scumbags!”
Qin Qing turned his head away and laughed in a low voice.
The autumn wind caught his laughter, carried it behind the vine wall, into the garden, and to places further away.
Anyone could hear the joy in this laughter, but no one knew why he was joyful.
Qin Gantang ground his teeth until they were about to shatter. His jealousy and hatred for Qin Qing reached an unprecedented peak! His determination to get Ren Zehuai surpassed the five guardians and became an obsession he must realize!
He hated it so much, but he wanted it so much!
Ren Zehuai stretched his palm forward a bit and said with certainty: “Qin Qing, you will agree to date me, right?”
Qin Qing placed his hand in Ren Zehuai’s palm, his tone light, with a mocking smile: “Agreed.”
Qin Gantang dug into the vine wall with force, then suddenly let go, turned around, and ran back to the bedroom. His ten fingers trembled nervously. Seeing the towel on the floor, he picked it up and squeezed it hard. He must snatch Ren Zehuai over! No matter what despicable means he used!
996 looked at his back and finally had some enlightenment: “Qin Qing, I seem to know how your script is written!”
Qin Qing withdrew the hand holding Ren Zehuai, picked up the teacup, sipped slowly, and chuckled: “You only understand now? The two of us together have 800 tricks up our sleeves; I have 801, how many do you have?”
996 counted on its fingers, and the more it counted, the more wrong it felt.
After Qin Qing and Ren Zehuai left the bedroom for the living room, it reacted, jumped onto the railing, and shouted angrily downstairs: “Qin Qing, you idiot, you even got the math problem wrong!”
Qin Gantang was so angry that he couldn’t sleep for several days. He made up his mind to snatch Ren Zehuai over, but didn’t know where to start.
That man didn’t follow his social media accounts, so he couldn’t send private messages. When Qin Gantang ran over to strike up a conversation, he immediately avoided him without saying an extra word. Asking for his contact information, he remained silent.
Seeing him go out to play with Qin Qing, Qin Gantang brazenly wanted to follow along, but was clearly rejected by him.
“Sorry, this is a date for the two of us, no third party accepted.” When saying this, Ren Zehuai’s eyes flashed with insightful, mocking light.
That dim light hit Qin Gantang, making him feel like there was nowhere to hide.
But the harder Ren Zehuai was to capture, the deeper Qin Gantang’s desire for him became. If ordinary means were always useless, Qin Gantang even wanted to release his pheromones.
Doing so was very risky. If the pheromones were too strong, causing Ren Zehuai to lose emotional control and permanently mark Qin Gantang, then Qin Gantang could never marry anyone else.
If Ren Zehuai could prove that Qin Gantang was the one who actively released pheromones to seduce, the law could do nothing to Ren Zehuai, but would instead urge the two to unite as soon as possible.
Based on the above risks, Qin Gantang was still hesitating. He wanted to snatch Ren Zehuai over, but didn’t want to sacrifice his marriage. To put it bluntly, all he wanted was a dog.
Several days later, Yan Yufei called Qin Gantang and invited him to a six-person gathering.
“Six people? Me and the five of you? Yin Bozhou is coming too?” Qin Gantang couldn’t believe it. In the past, Yin Bozhou never participated in such gatherings.
“After those Alphas died, he suspected me. He came to keep an eye on me.” Yan Yufei smiled bitterly.
“You didn’t reveal any flaws, did you?” Qin Gantang asked nervously.
“No, he can’t find anything. Just come with peace of mind.” Yan Yufei comforted.
Qin Gantang then happily agreed.
The next day, Qin Gantang walked into a high-end cafe and waved to the five handsome men sitting by the window.
Four of them raised their hands and waved back with smiles, while one remained indifferent with a solemn face. This person was naturally Yin Bozhou.
“Am I late?” Qin Gantang, who was already an hour late, asked knowingly.
Constant took his hand and kissed it: “You are never late whenever you come.”
Qin Gantang blushed, and his heart pounded. Yes, this was the feeling he wanted. He wanted to be pampered and cared for all the time, not Ren Zehuai’s disdain and Yin Bozhou’s keeping people a thousand miles away.
But these two people would eventually be tamed by him, because Alpha’s desire for Omega is innate; they are destined to lose.
Thinking like this, Qin Gantang looked at Yin Bozhou with a determined gaze, while Yin Bozhou’s sharp sight was locked on the hand of Qin Gantang being kissed by Constant.
His eyes were vacant, thoughtful.
So when meeting, is there such etiquette? Next time I meet Qin Qing, can I also kiss his hand with my lips?
He looked away at the sky outside the window.
A cloud floated in the sky, blown by the wind to gather and scatter, then slowly turned into a familiar outline. That was Qin Qing’s smiling face, but he himself was softer than this cloud.
Yin Bozhou’s eyes became even more vacant. He completely couldn’t hear or see what Qin Gantang said or did with the others.
Qin Gantang noticed Yin Bozhou’s absent-mindedness.
But it didn’t matter. The more powerful the Alpha, the easier their spiritual domain collapses. Qin Gantang would definitely let Yin Bozhou know how miserable his future would be without him!
“Did you see yesterday’s news? I was almost scared to death!” Qin Gantang deliberately raised his voice.
“Is it the news about Qi Zhongren’s spiritual power riot, strangling more than ten people on the street, and finally exploding to death?” Yan Yufei smiled knowingly, then looked deeply at Yin Bozhou.
Among them, Yin Bozhou’s spiritual power must be the most unstable.
Qi Zhongren’s strength was second only to Yin Bozhou, only a line away from breaking through to SSS level, but because he couldn’t find a compatible Omega for a long time, his spiritual domain finally completely collapsed yesterday evening, and he died violently on the street.
Qin Gantang shrank the relevant video into a palm-sized 3D light screen and projected it in the center of the coffee table. He wanted these people to see clearly what their end would be without him.
Yin Bozhou sympathized with Qi Zhongren quite a bit, so he turned his head at this time and looked at the small light screen on the table.
In the light screen, a tall and handsome man was holding his head and roaring at the sky. The completely out-of-control spiritual power turned into wind blades bursting out of his body, attacking the surrounding crowd indiscriminately.
In just an instant, more than a dozen passers-by turned into skeletons with their flesh shaved off, lying on the ground. The scene of blood flowing like a river could really only be described as tragic.
A police officer threw a metal ball at Qi Zhongren. The metal ball landed on the ground and turned into a circular energy shield, wrapping Qi Zhongren inside.
Qi Zhongren’s spiritual power had nowhere to release, so it could only cut back and forth inside the energy shield, actually cutting himself into a bloody mess blade by blade. But after all, he was a top Alpha with powerful combat power; this flesh wound was not enough to make him die violently like the passers-by.
But his spiritual domain had collapsed irretrievably. So in the most miserable and high-pitched scream, his head exploded, followed by his body.
The rapidly spraying blood dyed the energy shield into a blood ball. Qi Zhongren inside the sphere could no longer be seen.
His corpse might have turned into a pile of scattered minced meat.
This is the end of not finding a compatible Omega. This is the most serious consequence caused by the spiritual domain never getting the comfort of pheromones.
The few people who were originally chatting and laughing now all had gloomy faces, looking at everything happening on the light screen with suppressed gazes. Even the heartless Yin Bozhou had flickering eyes and clenched fists at this moment.
He was afraid.
He was just a weapon, yet he also perceived fear.
If he died like this, who would protect the flower in his heart?
Yin Bozhou picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp, the light in his eyes slowly sinking to the bottom, turning into hopeless darkness.
Yan Yufei was the only one who could still show a relaxed smile. If he died, he died; what was he afraid of? Anyway, the person he loved most was gone.
“Scary, right?” Qin Gantang put away the light screen, patted his chest pretending to be afraid, and sighed with regret: “What a pity. If only Qi Zhongren could find a highly compatible Omega. Under those circumstances, the police didn’t need to fire an isolation ball at him at all; just letting his Omega release pheromones could save him.”
Constant’s eyes flashed, and he immediately smiled and said: “So the five of us are the luckiest Alphas in the galaxy. Tangtang, I hope I have the honor to become your husband.”
He took Qin Gantang’s hand and kissed it affectionately.
Song Yuanyang and Kane leaned close to Qin Gantang’s ears and spoke lingering love words. To survive, even if they didn’t love, they had to pretend to love deeply.
Yan Yufei sat aside watching with interest, while Yin Bozhou drank cup after cup of wine, his expression very solemn.
Qin Gantang chatted with the other three for a while, then suddenly asked: “By the way, do you know Ren Zehuai? If you do, can you give me his contact information?”
When saying this, he glanced at Yin Bozhou, because he knew Yin Bozhou must have Ren Zehuai’s contact information.
“I know him. What do you want his contact information for?” Constant opened his optical computer to search the address book.
“He is dating my brother recently. I want to investigate him to see if he is reliable.” Qin Gantang pretended to be worried.
The wine glass in Yin Bozhou’s hand shattered at this moment. Not crushed by fingers, but by the momentarily out-of-control spiritual power.
Just this unconfirmed sentence caused his already unstable spiritual domain to stir up strong winds, ignite raging fires, and spew lava; all barriers were collapsing…
Yan Yufei was stunned, then quickly stood up, overturned the chair behind him, and shouted a warning loudly: “Not good, Yin Bozhou’s spiritual power is rioting!”
The cafe was quiet for a moment, and then the noisiest and most fearful screams rang out.
Will anyone walk out of this door alive today?
That is Yin Bozhou! So no! Everyone has to die!
