THE GAME

Chapter 2

"Hmmm...You smell nice.", Wei Ying clung unto Xue Yang, burying his face in his chest. The difference in their height made him bend his back a little yet as long as he could take in the musk of the alpha, Wei Ying didn't mind his bad posture.

" Easy...Are you feeling better?", Xue Yang stroke his face gently, occasionally shifting a hair strand aside.

Wen Qing and the gang sat on a bench a little far behind them and looked at the two with many expressions.

Huaisang, "They look inseparable." He leaned into the bench.

A'Cheng, " They deny having feelings for each other, yet Wei Ying calms down easily when he's around... This is why we hated the idea of being omegas. What's a clan leader if he can easily be manipulated by an alpha's scent. Tch!"

"So that's why you beat people up for calling you two omegas?", Huaisang turned to look at him.

YanLi, "Well, Huaisang... that's more of my fault. I was not so lucky with my first heat...Mine occurred at school during class hours and the alphas around went crazy. A'Xian had to fight off about fifty students just to keep me safe. Things went down south when A'Cheng got to the scene and also got affected by the pheromones. It was difficult to protect both of us and it took a while for the teachers to tame the situation...A'Xian sustained some serious wounds when it was over and had to be hospitalized...When he came home, mother scolded and blamed him for what happened... I guess he never got that scene off his mind. If not for Xue Yang, I don't think he would have allowed A 'Qing and other alphas to come closer to us."

A 'Qing, "A'Li, it's not your fault... It was just bad timing."

Wen Ning, "Yeah, don't be sad...Master Wei is the strongest omega I've ever met."

Jiang Cheng frowned at those words, "What do you mean by that... Don't you see me sitting here?"

"Oh, sorry.", Wen Ning hid his face behind his sister and they all laughed. The other two turned their heads when they heard them and slowly separated. Xue Yang was the first to get up and help Wei Ying out of the seat.

"You three should get home, it's nearly dawn...", he handed Wei Ying over to YanLi. "Thank you A'Yang.", YanLi smiled. Jiang Cheng only bowed swiftly then proceeded to carry his brother. "See you later bro." Wen Qing tapped his shoulder and went with the rest. Yue Yang watched the party slowly disappear into the night before going his own way.

Morning came too soon and the three Lotuses struggled to stay awake through breakfast. "What's wrong with you three...", Madam Yu's voice startled them awake. "Nothing, mother." YanLi put up a sweet smile.

Fengmian, "You look stressed up, did you three stay up all night again?". "Mnm" The youngest nodded, his eyelids dancing up and down.

Madam Yu, "YanLi, we'll only stay in Gusu for a few more days. I'm going shopping with your father today, wanna tag along?"

YanLi, "Thank you but I have to take care of some school work with my brothers."

Fengmian, "Mnnn, okay."

Madam Yu, "A'Li, your school is on a break..."

YanLi, "It's a project for a foundation, and I have more work to do."

Done with their food, their parents left the dining area to get ready. YanLi accompanied them to the staircase and leaned against the handrail while her parents went up... A spontaneous bang and the sound of cutlery landing on the floor quickly drew her attention back to the dining area.
