ABMSI Chapter 34

At the bottom of the pit
Duan Wei was pinned against the wall by Fu Duqiu. Whether by chance or deliberately, a jacket was spread beneath him—upon closer inspection, it was Fu Duqiu’s.

He was gasping for air, wondering why Fu Duqiu had suddenly pulled this stunt. The scent of white pine fragrance pheromones was heavy at his nostrils, and the words he wanted to say were forcibly held back, leaving only a low murmur mixed with some resistance.
What is he trying to do??

At the same time, a black flashlight fell from the top of the pit, rolling a few times on the ground before illuminating a large empty space opposite. In this burst of light, Duan Wei was finally able to see Fu Duqiu’s expression.

Fu Duqiu was half-kneeling in front of him, hands braced on the ground, looking down at him. He was backlit, so Duan Wei couldn’t clearly see the emotion in his eyes, and the increasingly intense pheromone scent in the air instantly scattered the few traces of lucidity he had managed to muster earlier.

“What’s wrong?? Say something?!”
Peng Yan’s somewhat anxious shout came from the pit rim. Duan Wei was about to answer when the Fu Duqiu in front of him suddenly leaned in, making him forget the words he was about to say.

His hand trembled as he tried to raise it toward Fu Duqiu, but it immediately fell down due to his limp weakness, resting on the back of Fu Duqiu’s hand.
Ultimately, Duan Wei was only an Omega. Compared to Fu Duqiu’s, his hand was noticeably smaller, making him seem even frailer at that moment.

After a long time, Duan Wei finally realized that the other person was subtly releasing pheromones, and the scent was like a timely rain after a long drought to him, an Omega in heat. He subconsciously leaned toward the other person, his own honey orange scent tightly intertwining with Fu Duqiu’s.

Just as his consciousness was starting to blur, Xu Jianian’s voice suddenly called out: “Xiao Wei, I got the suppressants, do you still need them?”

This shout immediately jolted him back to reality.

Duan Wei realized that the person in front of him was the male lead, Fu Duqiu, so he struggled to push the other person away, but his strength was like a kitten’s scratch, utterly non-aggressive.
Fu Duqiu lowered his eyes, looking at the person in his arms.

Even with the heat and the pain tormenting him, the person seemed extremely resistant to his approach, completely different from before. He remembered what Duan Wei had once said:
“I’d rather look for Xiao Yan than for you.”
His gaze darkened. Seeing the other person attempt to reply to Xu Jianian, he grabbed Duan Wei’s arm and pulled, turning his back toward himself.

“What are you doing…” Duan Wei turned his head to look at him, the un-marked Omega’s face filled with shock.

The voices from the pit rim were still ringing incessantly. Fu Duqiu released his clear, snow-pine pheromones and said in a deep voice to the people outside: “No need.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Wei, who was pinned against the wall, was about to speak when he saw Fu Duqiu suddenly shove something into his mouth. He stammered for a long time, looking at Fu Duqiu with a face full of resistance, and then heard the other person say: “Hold on.”

Duan Wei: ???

Before he could resist, a sharp pain suddenly struck the back of his neck, making his entire upper body involuntarily curl up. Meanwhile, Fu Duqiu’s hands pressed heavily on his shoulders, semi-forcibly exposing Duan Wei’s smooth and vulnerable hind-neck entirely within Fu Duqiu’s line of sight.

“Wuu…”
Duan Wei’s tears flowed out instinctively. He slowly shook his head, resisting and trying to push away the Fu Duqiu behind him.

Fu Duqiu lowered his eyes, watching Duan Wei tremble continuously during the marking process. As if anticipating the other person’s intention, he first used one hand to restrain Duan Wei’s wildly flailing hands, pinning them down in front of him.
His other hand was braced against the wall, firmly caging the person in his arms within this confined space.

Duan Wei felt the clear snow-pine scent continuously swirling behind him, his consciousness flickering between chaos and clarity.
He hung his head, taking deep, helpless breaths, trying to appear a little calmer in the clearly passive situation, but the more he tried to ignore it, the more pronounced his trembling became.

Fu Duqiu felt the person in his arms growing more and more clouded in consciousness, so he slowly released the hands restraining Duan Wei, using one hand to keep Duan Wei from sliding down.

Throughout this entire process, his slightly cool breath lingered on Duan Wei’s scent gland, never leaving. And Duan Wei, from the initial resistance, gradually became reliant on him in a way even he didn’t realize.

It wasn’t until the marking was nearly complete, and Fu Duqiu injected the last stream of pheromones, that he raised his head and moved away from Duan Wei’s scent gland.

The shouts from the crowd at the top of the pit continued relentlessly, but Duan Wei felt a profound silence all around him. He could even hear his own breathing, sometimes rapid, sometimes slow. His mind felt hazy, as if he were deeply drunk, and only after a long while did he slowly raise his head.
Shit, so this is what it feels like to be marked as an Omega?
His resolve to stick with suppressants for the rest of his life was now firmer than ever.
He slumped on the ground and rested for a long time before his body finally regained a bit of strength.

Fu Duqiu, standing nearby, glanced at him, then grabbed Duan Wei’s arm with one hand: “What’s wrong? Did my bite make you an idiot?”

“…I think I was too naive before.” Duan Wei stared blankly into the darkness ahead, muttering.

Fu Duqiu frowned, suspecting Duan Wei had genuinely been bitten into a daze, and asked in a low voice: “What?”

“The way you used to casually insult me was actually too polite,” Duan Wei stared ahead blankly: “Based on the force you used today, I would have been dead a few days ago when I kicked snow all over you.”

“…”
Fu Duqiu paused, then finally couldn’t help but laugh. He looked at Duan Wei, who was still dazed in the darkness, grabbed his arm, and helped him up. The sudden surge of unexplained anger he’d felt earlier had inexplicably dissipated by more than half.

“Looks like you really were bitten into an idiot,” he draped Duan Wei’s arm around his own neck, single-handedly stroking the other’s weak waist, saying: “No matter what, you did call me ‘Dad’ once. How could I bear to hurt you?”

“…Get lost. Give you an inch, and you take a mile^[1].”

Duan Wei rolled his eyes weakly at Fu Duqiu. Just as he was about to turn, following the push from Fu Duqiu’s hand, he heard a gasp from behind: “Holy crap!”
They saw Peng Yan standing opposite them, still clutching a hemp rope, looking like he had just climbed down. He watched his two ‘ancestors’ intimately wrapped around each other. The two intertwining pheromone scents in the air clearly revealed the unspeakable things that had just occurred.

After realizing the situation, he looked at Duan Wei, who was being supported by Fu Duqiu, with a shocked expression, looking back and forth before softly saying: “Did I interrupt something?”

Fu Duqiu: “Yes.”

Duan Wei: “You damn well shut up.”

Peng Yan: “…”
Just then, Xu Jianian’s anxious shout came from the top of the pit: “How is it, Peng Yan? Are they okay?”

As soon as her voice fell, Peng Yan looked at the two people tightly leaning against each other with a look of utter exasperation and said: “They are… more than okay.”

Duan Wei glared fiercely at Peng Yan and said weakly: “Quickly get me up.”

Although he was no longer in pain after the marking, his strength had clearly not returned. His entire body felt flimsy, as if floating in the air. He struggled free from Fu Duqiu, his legs shaking as he walked forward, looking like he was about to fall into the mud the next second.

Seeing him like this, Peng Yan first glanced at Fu Duqiu, then rushed forward to support Duan Wei, saying: “Are you planning to climb up with both hands on the rope like that?”
“Or should I use the Lingbo^[2] Weibu to fly up?”

Duan Wei gave him an annoyed look and raised his hand to grab the thick rope hanging near the hole. Seeing him finally appear in everyone’s sight, the few Alphas at the top of the pit finally breathed a sigh of relief, cheering for their classmates to pull the rope and haul Duan Wei out.

With the most difficult person, Duan Wei, rescued, the rest was much simpler. Within a few minutes, the remaining two Alphas at the bottom of the pit were also pulled up. After all the commotion, it was nearly midnight.

The scenic area officially closed at 10 PM. With such a major incident occurring, even the mountain’s administrator rushed over, terrified that something serious had happened on his watch.
The tour guide, Zhu Fan, moved all the other students from Class 8 to the base of the mountain and spent a long time explaining things to the administrator before finally settling the matter.

As the group descended the mountain, Zhu Fan, who was walking in front, suddenly remembered something and said: “Did one of our classmates go into heat just now?”

With one case of acute heat already having occurred, the tour guide naturally paid great attention to every Omega. At his question, all the students turned to look at Duan Wei, an unspoken understanding passing between them.
Duan Wei, who thought the matter was over, sighed inwardly. He raised his hand and said: “That was me.”

“How are you? Are you feeling better now?” Zhu Fan, without suspicion, walked up to check Duan Wei’s complexion, which didn’t look too bad.
Duan Wei didn’t want to discuss the matter with so many people present, so he nodded and said: “I’m fine now.”
But Zhu Fan continued: “There wouldn’t have been suppressants at the bottom of the pit, so was a marking performed?”

“…” Duan Wei’s lips parted slightly, then closed again. He now intensely missed the verbose but non-gossipy Old Tong

Although Class 8 students around them kept a straight face, they all had their ears perked up, desperate to hear the conversation between the few people.
Seeing his silence, Fu Duqiu said in a low voice from the side: “Yes.”
With an Alpha suddenly joining the conversation, Zhu Fan understood what had happened. He nodded and said with relief: “That’s good. Tidy up and let’s head back now. Everyone must speak up if they feel any discomfort, understood?”

“Understood!” Class 8 students answered in unison.
As soon as the words were spoken, the students all boarded the large bus. Duan Wei and Fu Duqiu sat in their original seats. While the two people involved looked calm and outwardly unchanged, everyone else was buzzing.

Especially Xu Jianian. She pulled out her phone and tablet, logged into her Tieba^[3] account, which shockingly displayed:
