Entering a Split Personality — Chapter 86

According to reason, it should be easy for two alphas to chase down a single omega.

It was just that Fan Qing was too familiar with this mansion. After all, he’d stayed here alone for more than a decade, hardly ever going out.

Did Fan Qing feel hatred? Besides hatred, he probably felt more shock and fear.

He wanted to escape, to be far away from the two men who were the closest to him. With a thought like this, he ran out, and he really didn’t make it easy for anyone to find him.

Fan Shen and Xiao He chased after him a long way, but they didn’t see a trace of him.

Xiao He was worried. He knew that everything before him was false, but he really had lived with Fan Qing for a while, after all. He wasn’t made of stone, so how could he be heartless? He’d seen him as a little Fan Shen. Once he thought of the danger Fan Qing would encounter running out all alone, Xiao He’s heart seized terribly.

And as his own elder brother, Fan Shen’s eyes were filled with even more distress and regret.

If something happened to Fan Qing, it would all be his fault.

Fan Shen must be thinking something like this. Realizing this, Xiao He’s heart abruptly jumped.

He had a terrible premonition.

From his previous experiences, he could make a clear prediction.

This incident may look like an accident, but it wasn’t accidental at all.

Fan Shen’s will had directed all of this.

He couldn’t make Xiao He estranged from Fan Shen emotionally, so he could only rely on the outside world’s limitations.

If something happened to Fan Qing, then Fan Shen would definitely blame himself. In a state of mind like that, how could he possibly accept Xiao He?

And in order to break the two of them up, the Fan Shen who was hidden in the end would definitely make something happen to Fan Qing.

After all, this was his own world, and he could freely control what he wanted to happen, what would and what could happen!

Xiao He was smart for once, but even after figuring it all out, he still felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

Maybe he could prevent anything from happening this time, but what about the next time, and the time after that?

Once he thought that the person really stopping him was Fan Shen himself, all of Xiao He’s enthusiasm left him.

He couldn’t find the origin or the key to the issue. He felt as if no matter how much he did, all of it would be wasted effort.

He was absent-minded on the way, until Fan Shen's communicator sounded. There was a trace of unconcealed anxiety in Fan Shen’s reserved voice. “How is it? Did you find him?”

It was a signal from the subordinates he’d dispatched to find Fan Qing.

Xiao He’s ears pricked up, and he hurriedly moved closer to listen attentively.

But he only heard a burst of scattered noise come through the button-sized communicator, followed by a male voice: “It's bad, Marshal, Young Master Qing’s gone into heat!”

This single sentence was like lightning striking the two men’s hearts.

Fan Shen quickly looked back at Xiao He.

Xiao He was in a daze, his head full of curse words flying by. He was wondering how come they’d found him so easily. He had a feeling there was something else coming!

At that moment, Xiao He really wanted to run away.

But he couldn’t run, if he ran he’d be done for!

Fan Shen frowned and questioned the man further, his voice as cold as ice. “Where is he?”

“Alia Square.”

Without considering Fan Shen’s emotions, even Xiao He inhaled a breath of cold air.

That was the most bustling place on the capital planet, where people were closely packed together and alphas often came and went!

An omega going into heat there was practically like detonating a nuclear bomb!

This was terrible, completely terrible!

Xiao He had only just gotten familiar with this world’s background, but he knew how tense the situation was now.

Fan Qing was done for, absolutely done for!

It was hard for omegas in heat to keep their reason, not to mention how many alphas were there.

An omega who was marked in a public location would be ruined for life.

Even if Fan Qing had a respected older brother, even if he didn’t come from an ordinary family background, even if he had however many “even ifs.” 

An omega who sank into lust and was possessed by countless alphas would be completely ruined for life. 

A disaster like that was more terrible than death.

Not to mention Fan Qing had been raised to be so pure, simple and clean…

He didn’t dare to think about it anymore. Xiao He couldn’t bother about Fan Shen’s will anymore. He needed to go prevent this, he had to go. 

Once he asked for directions, Xiao He broke into a run, and Fan Shen followed close behind.

They had a target now. Urging their aircraft on, they soon arrived at their destination.

A fragrance wantonly flooded the wide plaza.

The crowd was filled with various noises and the sounds of conflict amidst masculine scents. 

What a relief, what a huge relief.

There were too many alphas here, so they’d started fighting. At least this meant that nothing had happened to Fan Qing yet.

This intense scent almost drove Xiao He mad, but fortunately, it was easy for him to find Fan Qing with the scent as a guide.

Fan Shen dispatched troops. This deadly scent tempted even mated alphas until their hearts trembled, but they were on suppressants, so they could easily keep their reason.

With soldiers suppressing the crowd, Xiao He’s path to to Fan Qing was unhindered. Before long, he saw the curled-up, shivering boy. 

A surge of distress rose from his heart, and Xiao He couldn’t help but call out softly, “Little Qing…”

When he heard the familiar voice, Fan Qing looked up. His pretty face was all crimson, and his light blue eyes were filled with liquid.

When he saw who had come, his heart trembled slightly, and the voice from his mouth was extremely soft. “Brother Xiao He.” 

The soft, low words made Xiao He fall into a momentary daze.

He hurriedly approached and took Fan Qing into his arms.

And just at this moment, Fan Shen appeared behind them. He’d taken suppressants, so his black eyes were steady and calm, watching the two men embracing without the slightest ripple. He only said lowly, “Come with me. You’re already betrothed, so we can hold the ceremony now.” 

Xiao He’s head was a little dizzy, and he didn’t understand what Fan Shen was saying yet.

But the aircraft had landed, so he carried Fan Qing in. The boy in his arms was already softly moaning impatiently.

His voice was seductive and his scent was intoxicating. Intense lust surged to Xiao He’s heart, difficult to calm.

Xiao He really wanted to dip his head and kiss him, but the last trace of awareness in his mind was constantly irritating him.

You can’t kiss him, can’t kiss him. He looks a lot like Fan Shen, but he isn’t Fan Shen at all.

You love Fan Shen, so...don’t betray him.

Xiao He’s reason kept warring with his body, and he didn’t wake up until they got off and he was pushed into a room.

He couldn’t stop Fan Qing’s fumbling hands. He abruptly grabbed Fan Shen’s sleeve. “Don’t...don’t be like this.” 

He was suffering such strong stimulation that Xiao He’s voice was hoarser than usual. “Fan Shen, don’t leave me behind.”

Fan Shen looked at him, his calm eyes black as a bottomless abyss. They held no affection, emotion, motion or the slightest light. His voice was rigid and stiff as a block of stone. “Xiao He, don’t think too much, and get along properly with Little Qing. After today, you’ll only belong to each other.”

He spoke so lightly that Xiao He felt an intense disappointment. “But...I like you.”

His unscrupled, direct confession made Fan Shen lower his eyes. “You were just momentarily confused. Once you have your own omega, you’ll understand what love is.”

“That’s not true!” Xiao He’s head was a little dizzy, and he couldn’t quite express his thoughts.

And Fan Shen was still consoling him. “Don’t worry, it’s fine. Little Qing will forgive you, and I’ll never appear before you again. You’ll live a happy life, and have your own children and family. You’ll spend your lives together lovingly. Trust me...this will be your future, a beautiful future.”

Fan Shen sketched out a beautiful blueprint in a low, rough, gentle voice—a beautiful blueprint that didn’t include himself.

Xiao He only felt it pierced his ears. He shouted loudly, “No! Fan Shen, you don’t understand! Without you...I…”

He hadn’t finished saying the last sentence when an impatient Fan Qing kissed him, blocking it off.

The taste of lust was too attractive. Xiao He’s thoughts fell into confusion, and he didn’t push him away immediately.

And Fan Qing tore off his clothes. Watching the two men who couldn’t hold themselves back anymore, Fan Shen’s eyes dimmed, and his thin lips pressed tightly together. He withdrew and closed the door, leaning against the hard wall.

This was destined to happen.

No one could stop it.

In the room, Xiao He’s mind had fallen into confusion.

He couldn’t quite tell who the man before him was. They touched, soothed and made impatient demands on each other.

Pheromones were strong enough to wreck a person’s mind.

Xiao He couldn’t restrain himself, and Fan Qing was at the limit of his endurance.

At the last moment, when Fan Qing half-leaned over the bedside, lowly pleading, Xiao He abruptly woke up.

As if clear spring water rushed straight from his head to his chest, Xiao He felt ice-cold and stiff all over.

What was he doing...what exactly was he doing!

If this continued, it would be completely irredeemable.

He...he…

Xiao He didn’t dare to continue thinking about it. He covered Fan Qing with a blanket, put on his clothes and was about to run out the door.

Not having gotten what he wanted, the boy’s voice was choked with sobs. “Don’t go, Brother Xiao He, don’t go, please, please give me…”

The picture he made was touching and his voice was bewitching. This was a scene no man could resist.

But Xiao He calmed down completely.

He turned his head away and said lowly, “I’m sorry, Little Qing. You’re a good boy, and you should have a better partner. I’m sorry.”

Once he finished speaking, he opened the door and left. But for the sake of Fan Qing’s safety, he shouted for a doctor before chasing after Fan Shen.

He was going to find Fan Shen, find him before he could hide.

Xiao He ran out, searching everywhere like a headless chicken. He flew all the way to the Alia Square from before, but didn’t see a trace of Fan Shen. 

He’d been extremely worried, but now, with the wind blowing at him, he calmed down instead.

Xiao He looked at the bustling square, and suddenly thought of something.

This was Fan Shen’s world.

Fan Shen wanted him to be an alpha, so Xiao He was an alpha.

But what if he was an omega?!

Fan Shen’s will could direct this world, but Fan Shen’s personality fragment could do so as well.

He could guide the fragment and deceive him, and change his current situation that way.

What he really had to do was defeat Fan Shen’s will and make Fan Shen’s personality fragment wake up.

In the flash of an eye, an idea formed in the depths of his heart. 

Xiao He took out his communicator without the slightest hesitation, and sent Fan Shen a voice message. “Fan Shen, I’m not an alpha. I’m a hidden omega. I’m in Alia Square…”

Once he sent it, Xiao He soon said a second message. “Come and find me. Hurry up, or else...out of all the people here...anyone can satisfy me.”

The author has something to say:

I’m really sorry about yesterday. I’d said I was going to stay home and write, but an old classmate I hadn’t seen for a long time came to visit, and dragged me out to go for drinks and a meal. And then the six of us drank more than forty Breezers, and three bottles of red wine...by the end, I was so drunk my own mother wouldn’t recognize me… /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
