"....Uncle I need to ask you something. Well more like tell you...or is it both?" Said a nervous Jin Ling as he walked into the kitchen of his uncle's apartment and sat at the island bar.
"What is it Jin Ling? If this is about school you're grounded." Jiang Cheng said, focused on the stew he was making for dinner.
"No! It has nothing to do with school. But...I think there's a 50% chance I may have to switch schools because I may or may have not destroyed Sizhui's second sense of smell." Jin Ling blurted out, awaiting his uncle's reaction and it was just about what he expected.
"What?! Jin Ru Lan you better explain to me in better detail what you mean before I break your legs! What the hell you mean you destroyed his second sense of smell?!" Jiang Cheng yelled. Lowering the heat on the stove so the stew wouldn't over boil, before turning around to fully face Jin Ling.
"I-I didn't mean to! He was presenting at school and was presenting as an omega and I was worried and scared, I panicked and on instinct I picked him up and carried him to Uncle Ying and Wangji's place. And when I was carrying him I unknowingly let him scent me...I'm scared Uncle. I think he's my mate and he'll hate me if he wakes up unable to register and regulate scents." Jin Ling explained in near tears.
Jiang Cheng's anger quickly faded once he heard the whole story and was replaced with worry and concern. Not only because this was the first time Jin Ling mentioned mates but also because it was rare Jin Ling cried. The only times he cried was when he learned about his dad, when Yanli ended up in the hospital, and when Jiang Cheng himself was nearly assulted.
"A-Ling come here." Jiang Cheng said, opening his arms for a hug Jin Ling desperately needed. And Jin Ling took that hug and cried into his uncle's chest.
"Shhhh its going to be okay. It was an accident and you were just doing your best to protect him as an alpha, as his alpha. Like you said its a 50% chance and Sizhui could never hate you. To be honest I'm surprised you're home, wouldn't you want to be with Sizhui more?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"I-I do but Uncle Wangji sent me home. Saying I looked down right frightened and on the verge of passing out. He said he'll come get me when Sizhui wakes up." Jin Ling sniffled, wiping his tears away.
"I see, well he does have a point. You wouldn't want Sizhui waking up to seeing you passed out. Now tell me about him being your mate, how long have you've known?"
"Since the start of high school. But I don't want to make any major decisions or jumps because I don't even know if he likes me the same way. I feel the tug in my soul but I don't know if he feels it." Jin Ling explained, he really liked Sizhui but was too afraid to confess in fear of it being one sided or making the other uncomfortable.
Before Jiang Cheng could reassure him and offer advice, Wangji walked into the apartment. "I apologize for barging in but I assume Jin Ling told you and I came to pick him up. Sizhui woke up."
