His heat passing meant that Xiao Zhan's birthday was quickly coming up. After all, he'd started using suppressants a month or two before his 18th birthday.

Wang Yibo already knew the specific date. Xioa Zhan thought he intended to make his gift a surprise, but he really couldn't tell a lie. Even when just mumbling out the question "Xuezhang, is there anywhere you've wanted to go recently?", his nervous expression completely sold him out.

Xioa Zhan was amused inside and didn't give it away. As if not thinking too much, he listed off a few famous date sites in the city, to save him from wasting too much time on it.

As expected, just a few days later, Wang Yibo said that he'd bought two tickets for the amusement park and asked Xioa Zhan if he was free to go with him on his birthday.

Am I free? His alpha wanted to romantically celebrate his birthday. Even though the creativity was a bit unpolished, even though he'd gone to that amusement park countless times as a child, he'd definitely accompany him in the end.

So Xioa Zhan gave a very exquisite performance of "What a nice surprise that you actually want to celebrate my birthday".

Over the next two days, Wang Yibo was so excited that it was as if he were celebrating his own birthday. When Xioa Zhan saw him acting so excited, he wondered if it were possibly this silly dog would want to try some new kind of play that day? For example, in the Ferris wheel......hmm, not likely, the silly dog wasn't that fast, so at minimum, he'd need four or five revolutions of the Ferris wheel.

"Xuezhang, Xuezhang, can we go eat at this restaurant for lunch on Saturday?"

Wang Yibo's words interrupted Xioa Zhan's far-straying thoughts. He glanced at the restaurant name displayed on the phone in front of him, which was quite high-end, with a per capita of seven or eight hundred yuan.

"No need to be so expensive, let's eat something casual."

"How about these?" Wang Yibo pulled up a list of restaurants from his favourite bookmarks.

"We'll go back and look later. Eat first." He knocked his chopsticks against Wang Yibo's plate.

They were in the cafeteria at lunch, with other students coming and going around them. Although their relationship was on the school forum and was no longer considered news, there were still many people who were curious about them being together, so they'd shoot secretive glances at them as they walked by.

Wang Yibo seemed to have already become immune, completely uninterested in the gazes of others, and was happily discussing the plans for their upcoming date itinerary.

Xioa Zhan was very satisfied to see this, but he still cherished the memory of the shy Wang Yibo's appearance a bit and couldn't help but want to tease him again.

"Ai, you have some pretty good drumsticks on your plate, give me a bite."

Wang Yibo blinked, "Huh? Xuezhang, didn't you just say you didn't want any just now? Then I'll get you another plate."

Xioa Zhan quickly stopped him, "Don't, I just want a little bite, give me yours."

The other students sitting nearby couldn't help but sympathize with Wang Yibo.

Sure enough, it isn't easy to fall in love with the school tyrant, being bullied even when eating a meal......

Wang Yibo didn't think too hard about it. He directly picked up the only chicken leg left on his plate and put it on Xioa Zhan's plate, his eyebrows furrowed, "Then you eat this and I'll buy more if it's not enough."

The observing crowd: ......okay, one wants to hurt and one wants to suffer, sorry to disturb.

Xioa Zhan frowned in dissatisfaction, "Ah? I just wanted to taste, why are you giving it all to me? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

The observing crowd: ??? Is this human speech?

Wang Yibo really didn't understand and said hesitantly, "Then......I'll tear the meat apart and give you some?"

Xioa Zhan practically wanted to roll his eyes. But he opened his mouth and said flat-out, "No need to bother with that, just feed me."

The observing crowd: .........Zhan Ge, your coquettish style can really be intimidating......

Wang Yibo was dumbfounded for a second, then at last his face finally flushed.

Xioa Zhan felt more satisfied, smirking as he chuckled, "What, unwilling?"

"N-no." Wang Yibo shook his head and quickly glanced around and looked at the nearby people. Seeing that they all seemed to be eating and not paying attention to their area, he blushed and picked up the drumstick, holding it up to Xioa Zhan'smouth.

"What do you say when you feed someone else?"

Wang Yibo's face flushed a little hotter, "Ah——"

The observing crowd: ......what sort of things have been happening to train him like this......

Xioa Zhan smiled all the way to his eyes and opened his mouth, but didn't taste it yet. He gently touched his lips to the surface of the drumstick, moistening them with sauce, then flicked his tongue out to lap it up and pulled it back to swallow.

"I've tasted it, now you eat it."

Wang Yibo's face was so hot he was almost emitting smoke. Feeling incredibly ashamed, he quickly buried his head under the table.

Xioa Zhan'sindifferent glance swept around to scan the blushing students pretending to eat nearby.

Is this declaration of sovereignty clear enough? Let's see if there are any overconfident little omegas who dare to covet my alpha now.

Since Saturday was Xioa Zhan's birthday, in order to facilitate the trip, they didn't go home on Friday night and stayed in the dorm together. Xioa Zhan called his dad to let him know, which led to Papa Xiao shedding tears as he complained: "Now that you have a boyfriend, you don't want your father......why did I give birth to such an ingrate as you......"

Wang Yibo was listening to the call on speaker phone and he instantly became nervous, whispering, "Ah, then......then, Xuezhang, how about you go home and stay with your father?"

Xioa Zhan shot a fierce glance at him and said to the phone, "Dad, aren't you going to the forum this week? You didn't have time to keep me company in the first place, right?"

Father Xiao choked: "......how'd you know?"

"Heehee," Xioa Zhan laughed grimly, "You said it a few weeks ago, I wonder if you forgot my birthday all together?"

"How is that possible! Baobei, I——"

"Fine. If you don't say you agree, this will be your last chance to restore our father-son relationship."

"......okay, you can go......" Papa Xiao said with a guilty conscience.

After the call was ended, Wang Yibo was still worried, "Is this really okay? I didn't think it through enough, but isn't it better to spend your birthday with your family?"

Xioa Zhan raised his eyebrows fiercely, "What are you saying? Aren't you my family member? You planned for so long but now you say nevermind? Don't you have any principles?"

Receiving this lecture, Wang Yibo bowed his head in terrified despair, "Sorry, sorry......Xuezhang, don't get angry......"

Xioa Zhan gripped his chin and raised his own head to stop his rambling with a kiss.

Wang Yibo's eyes opened wide and he reacted after a second, wrapping his arms around his waist to pull the man close into his embrace. He closed his eyes to concentrate on tasting his omega's soft lips.

They kissed as if they couldn't bear to part——

*Knock knock!* Someone knocked twice on the dorm door.

Wang Yibo wanted to open the door, but Xioa Zhan held him close by his neck, the look in his eyes hard to discern, a trace of shiny saliva at the corner of his mouth as he murmured, "I still want to......"

Wang Yibo immediately surrendered, lifting the person in his arms and carrying him to the bed to continue their endless embrace, nearly coming before he intended.

The student outside the dorm seemed to hear the movement inside, so, knowing there was someone inside, they shouted out loudly, "Is Zhan Ge here? The dean asked for you to go to her office, she's been looking for you."

Hearing that his aunt was trying to find him, Xioa Zhan signaled Wang Yibo to stop even though he felt completely unwilling. He shouted to the stranger, "Who are you? Why didn't she call my phone to find me?"

"I'm from a dorm room upstairs and I just came back from the dean. She asked me to call out to you since it was on the way."

"Fine, I got it. Thanks."

The sound outside the door disappeared, Xioa Zhan looked at Wang Yibo, who was still panting hard above him, and couldn't help but tease him, "What, in heat again?" He stretched his hand down to explore. Sure enough, he was as stiff as a rod.

Wang Yibo drew back in surprise, but Xioa Zhan also leaned up, sticking to him. "I'll take care of you first."

Wang Yibo shook his head like a rattle drum and immediately got off the bed, "I-I can handle it myself, you go quickly, don't make Dean Shen wait while worried......"

"What worry, she's my aunt, what could I do?" Xioa Zhan said this, but he still got out of bed and straightened his clothes. "What does she even want this late at night? Probably going to ask me how my heat went. She and my dad love to worry about the major events in my life. "

Wang Yibo considerately fetched his coat for him, "They're concerned about you too."

"Previously it was normal to be concerned, but don't I have you now?" Xioa Zhan winked.

The tips of Wang Yibo's ears turned red, "Mhm......come back soon, I'll be waiting for you."

Xioa Zhan smiled and pinched his cheeks, "So obedient. Tomorrow at my house, we'll continue and I'll reward you well."

He stepped out of the door of the dormitory building. Xioa Zhan went all the way to the academic building. It was already past 9pm, so most of the students had already returned home, having rushed out like unrestrained waves. There were only a small number, like the two of them, who were staying properly at the school on a Friday night like this.

When he passed the sports field, he could vaguely see a couple students playing basketball through the wire fence. Bored to death, Xioa Zhan watched as he walked by, looking in the direction of the court and not paying any attention to the trees on the other side.

When he heard an abnormal noise, he turned his head sharply to check the source of the sound, but unfortunately he was one step too late.

Just as he glimpsed a figure, there was a sudden sharp pain in his neck and his eyes immediately fell shut as he lost all consciousness.
