E-Sports Boss Wants To Post Messages With New Players Every Day Chapter 17

Chapter 17

The moment he stepped off the stairs, Xie Wei keenly caught a scent that was incredibly familiar, carrying a hint of cloying sweetness that stirred a restlessness within him.

This was the scent of an Omega’s Pheromone.

Coincidentally, he recognized the owner of this Pheromone.

Why was Xu Ziyan’s Pheromone leaking so strongly? Was he in his Rut Period? No, the marking he had left on him should still be effective.

Was he feeling unwell?

Xie Wei paused for a moment, then moved his feet. Following the Pheromone, he walked to the door of the emergency exit. Out of politeness, he hesitated for a moment about whether to knock first, but then he thought, since they already had a marking relationship, why bother with such formalities? He reached out and pushed the door open.

Once the door opened, the sweet scent rushed toward him even more unrestrainedly. The situation that day had been so chaotic that he couldn’t remember what the Omega he had bitten for the first time tasted like.

Now that he was closer, Xie Wei could finally faintly distinguish that the scent was like strawberry-flavored cotton candy.

In the empty stairwell, the young man in the team uniform sat on the steps, leaning against the stair railing. His black hair was soft, and the exposed half of his nape was tinged with pink. Xie Wei took another step forward and noticed that not only his nape, but the Omega’s face and ears were also pink.

He couldn’t help but hold his breath.

At the same time, a fact that Xie Wei had deliberately ignored these past few days was clearly presented before him.

The person in front of him had accepted his marking, which meant he was his Omega.

And under the influence of the marking, he was completely unable to resist anything that came from Xu Ziyan.

For example, what he wanted to do most right now was not to help Xu Ziyan put on the marking patch he held in his hand, but to press the young man down and inject his Pheromone into the Gland on his nape.

Fortunately, the last shred of rationality in his mind stopped him. Xie Wei frowned, took a slight step back, and said, “Xu Ziyan?”

Xu Ziyan’s current state was very poor.

He hung his head, breathing rapidly. His entire mind felt like it was filled with paste, and his thoughts had stalled.

But one thing he was very clear about: his current situation was definitely not something a marking patch could solve.

In fact, Xu Ziyan had experienced similar situations before, but usually, changing the marking patch would suppress it. Although he felt somewhat uncomfortable, he didn’t take it seriously and didn’t seek out Xie Wei.

The symptoms had been suppressed for too long, and now they were erupting, naturally breaking through. Xu Ziyan sat on the steps, trying to muster the strength to return to the dormitory, when he heard a question from behind him.

He suddenly turned his head, only to see the person he had been thinking about and longing for to the point of madness right in front of him, frowning slightly and asking, “What’s going on?”

Xu Ziyan’s mind exploded, making it even harder to think clearly.

He shook his head vaguely, steadying himself with one hand on the railing, and managed to stand up. “I’m sorry, Captain Xie, I… I don’t feel very well. I need to go back to the dormitory now.”

“Not feeling well?” Xie Wei frowned even harder. “Are you in your Rut Period? Your Pheromone is so strong.”

Xu Ziyan still had enough strength to communicate. He shook his head and said, “It’s not the Rut Period, Captain Xie. Please stay away from me. I’m really not normal right now.”

It was more than just not normal; it was extremely abnormal. He could still suppress the impulse when he hadn’t seen Xie Wei, but now that Xie Wei was right in front of him, he was genuinely afraid that he wouldn’t be able to resist pouncing on him and begging for affection and hugs. To prevent this from happening, Xu Ziyan had only one thought: hurry back to the dormitory, hurry away from Xie Wei.

Xie Wei saw that he could barely walk but was still insisting. He sighed helplessly, took a step forward, and steadily supported the staggering Omega. “Didn’t I tell you before that if you weren’t feeling well, you should come find me? Why didn’t you do that?”

Seeing Xu Ziyan still looking listless, Xie Wei recalled something that Shen Xiao had once mentioned about “Alpha Pheromones being effective in soothing Omegas.” He hesitated and slowly released his own Pheromone.

The crisp lemon mint slowly blended into the sweetness of the strawberry cotton candy. Surrounded by the Pheromone he had longed for, Xu Ziyan whimpered, unable to bear it any longer. He reached out and hugged Xie Wei, burying himself completely in his arms.

Xie Wei was momentarily stunned. Realizing that Xu Ziyan was affected by the Pheromone, he paused, didn’t push him away, but instead soothingly stroked the young man’s nape and back.

Since the two of them had a Temporary Marking relationship, the Omega, finally receiving comfort and care from his Alpha, felt an unparalleled sense of security and comfort at this moment. The taut string in Xu Ziyan’s mind slowly relaxed.

Xie Wei felt like he was holding a soft piece of cotton candy. He waited patiently for a while, but the body in his arms grew softer and softer, forcing him to use more strength to hold the young man’s waist and back so he wouldn’t collapse onto the floor.

He called out, “Xu Ziyan?”

But there was no response.

Xie Wei looked down curiously, only to see the young man who had been looking unwell, flushed, and feverish just moments ago, now with his eyes tightly closed, his long eyelashes slightly trembling, his lips slightly parted, and his breathing even.

He had actually fallen asleep in his arms.

Xie Wei: …

According to his personality, he should immediately wake the person up.

However, the person in his arms was no one else but his Omega.

At least, this Omega still had his Temporary Marking on his nape.

Xie Wei looked at Xu Ziyan with a complicated expression for a moment, then resignedly bent down, picked him up entirely, and walked toward the second team’s dormitory.

The mess he made, he would clean up slowly.

Fortunately, it was training time, and there weren’t many people in the dormitory building. Xie Wei checked the nameplates on the dormitory doors one by one, found Xu Ziyan’s room, felt around in the young man’s pocket, found the room card, and carried him inside.

Xu Ziyan was placed on the bed, rolled over, hugged the blanket, and continued to sleep soundly.

Xie Wei looked at the scene, truly speechless. He didn’t rush to leave but sat down on the sofa nearby. Then, he took out an Inhibitor from his jacket pocket and silently injected it into his arm.

He wasn’t a saint. With the Omega he had marked lying so docilely in his arms, Xie Wei naturally had a reaction.

However, he had his rationality, and his mind was clear enough. This clarity was sufficient to restrain the urge to bite Xu Ziyan’s nape.

Speaking of which, when he first differentiated, he had thought that he must save his first experience for the person he loved and liked the most.

Yet, after avoiding it for so many years, by a twist of fate, he had bitten an Omega who was completely unfamiliar to him before.

It was truly fate playing tricks.

The Inhibitor slowly took effect. Xie Wei looked at Xu Ziyan’s silly sleeping face on the bed, smiled, ruffled his hair, and quietly left the room.

Back in the training room, as soon as Xie Wei sat down, Shen Xiao leaned over and sniffed dramatically a few times.

Although Xie Wei had already sprayed Scent Blocker, he felt guilty and pretended to be disgusted, saying, “Are you a dog?”

“Where did you go just now? You were in such a hurry?” Shen Xiao returned to his seat. “Hey, why do I smell something sweet on you?”

That dog nose.

Xie Wei’s expression remained unchanged. He didn’t answer but tossed a fruit candy to Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao caught it, saw it was strawberry-flavored, and raised an eyebrow in surprise. He unwrapped the candy, put it in his mouth, and mumbled indistinctly, “Damn, Captain Xie, you eat this kind of stuff?”

Qu Qingyue, the A-Team Medic, happened to pass by and asked curiously, “What kind of stuff?”

Xie Wei said, “Fruit candy.” Then, without waiting for Qu Qingyue to say another word, he tossed a candy to her.

Qu Qingyue looked at it and exclaimed happily, “Wow, this is great! Captain Xie is giving out candy!”

That shout immediately drew the attention of the others in the training room. In the end, Captain Xie had to hand out one candy to everyone before he managed to chase them all away.

When the area around his seat quieted down, he glanced at Shen Xiao and saw that he had started a new Ranked Match, seemingly having forgotten about the “sweet smell” on him earlier. Only then did he relax.

Taking out his phone, Xie Wei opened the familiar search engine again.

However, before he could finish typing his question, a sweet “Captain” suddenly sounded from behind him.

His finger trembled, and he quickly exited the page, turning his head to look.

He saw Qu Qingyue standing behind him, looking puzzled. “What’s wrong, Captain? You look startled.”

“Nothing,” Xie Wei said. “What is it?”

“Oh, I just thought you were acting strange today, Captain, so I wanted to ask if something happened.”

Xie Wei originally intended to brush her off, but then he suddenly remembered that Qu Qingyue in front of him was an Omega, and an Omega player with countless romantic histories. He swallowed his perfunctory reply, and what came out instead was: “I have a friend…”

Qu Qingyue nodded. “Uh-huh.”

“He’s an Alpha, and he accidentally marked an Omega some time ago.”

Qu Qingyue’s eyes widened. “Wow, I thought you were using a friend as an excuse for something that happened to you, Captain, but hearing the Omega part, I believe it’s definitely not you.”

“Indeed,” Shen Xiao, who had been listening with his ears perked up nearby, turned off his streaming mic, pushed his legs, and slid over in his gaming chair. “If it weren’t for an Alpha confessing to him before, I would almost suspect Captain Xie likes AA relationships. Marking an Omega? My evaluation is only three words: impossible.”

“Yeah, yeah. If Captain Xie did that, I would immediately become a monk.”

“Haha, okay, then I’ll stream myself doing math problems, advanced math problems! I won’t stop streaming until I solve them!”

Qu Qingyue had endless lovers, and Shen Xiao was completely clueless about math; he needed to think even for addition, let alone advanced math, which was like reading a heavenly script.

Xie Wei: …

He raised his hand, unable to watch, signaling them to stop, and continued, “Then, well, anyway, because of some things, he and this Omega haven’t seen each other for a long time. When they met recently, he found that the Omega’s condition was very strange, like he had a fever.”

“I have a question,” Qu Qingyue raised her hand. “Was that Omega marked for the first time?”

Xie Wei said, “Yes.”

“Wow!” Before Qu Qingyue could speak, Shen Xiao exclaimed from the side, “Captain Xie, your friend is such trash!”

Xie Wei: ?

“Yeah, yeah,” Qu Qingyue agreed. “How can there be an Alpha like that? Unimaginable!”

Xie Wei: ??

The two people in front of him were experienced, so he humbly sought advice. “Is there some significance to this?”

Qu Qingyue said, “Of course there is! An Omega is very vulnerable after being marked for the first time! At this time, the Omega desperately needs the Alpha’s companionship, care, and Pheromone soothing. Otherwise, their entire state will become very poor, and they will easily become fatigued. Your friend marked someone, and not only did he not comfort them, but he didn’t even give them any soothing or care, just disappearing? That’s too much of a jerk! No wonder that Omega looked like that; he must have been uncomfortable for a long time!”

Shen Xiao nodded in agreement. “Indeed, that’s too much. I’m different; I’m very gentle with Omegas. Sister Yueyue, want to try?”

Qu Qingyue sneered. “You? Just stay in my fish pond!”

The two started bickering.

Xie Wei, having learned the truth, looked at his phone screen and fell into contemplation.

He truly hadn’t known about this.

Despite his annoyance at Xu Ziyan’s behavior of using his body to hook up with him to join the team, the upbringing Xie Wei received ensured that even in his anger, he didn’t forget to take the necessary responsibility.

If he had known this earlier…

Recalling how Xu Ziyan had been so tired that he fell asleep slumped over his computer, Xie Wei sighed. If he had known earlier, he definitely would have done what he should have.

But Xu Ziyan hadn’t come to him.

If he could go so far as to use his first time for a transaction, what was the point of enduring the discomfort and not seeking help? He could have been more comfortable.

Yet, Xu Ziyan simply hadn’t come.

Just now, too, even though he was so uncomfortable, he didn’t say a word and insisted on returning to the dormitory himself.

This Omega’s actions were completely contradictory.

As for why, Xie Wei couldn’t figure it out.

He took out a fruit candy, tore open the wrapper, and put it in his mouth.

Sweet and slightly sour, it was strawberry flavored.
