ROT CH 20

Chapter 20: Bai Lin’s Beauty Trap?

After the intense sparring match and the following intimate encounter, the relationship between Han Junzhou and Bai Chengyu has notably improved.

At first, Bai Chengyu, who was proud and unwilling to lose, didn’t believe that, despite being young and having undergone intense training from an early age, he could lose to the older Han Junzhou. However, the reality spoke for itself. Aside from the first match where Han Junzhou deliberately let Bai Chengyu win in front of others, as well as the occasion when he intentionally cheated for Bai Chengyu to win, after that, under Bai Chengyu’s strict demand that there be no more leniency, he never managed to score even a single point against Han Junzhou.

He was both furious and exhilarated. It had been a long time since he had felt so satisfied fighting with someone. Since his transition to Omega, Bai Lin had replaced all his Alpha sparring partners, leaving behind those who were either weaker or too afraid to go all out against him. But Han Junzhou was different. When he agreed not to hold back, he truly didn’t. Although his force was somewhat restrained to avoid injuring him, Bai Chengyu could tell that Han Junzhou wasn’t giving him the cold shoulder. This Alpha was genuinely fighting with him. He was both battling and teaching him. There were techniques that the Han and Bai families did not share, but Han Junzhou, without holding anything back, let him see and learn everything.

Bai Chengyu seemed to suddenly realize and admit that this old Alpha from the Han family wasn’t as useless as he thought. At least in certain aspects, Han Junzhou was ahead of him. He was his doctor, his college lecturer, his comforting treatment stick, and now he added another role: his martial arts coach. Han Junzhou was truly skilled, so Bai Chengyu no longer acted like he used to, kicking people away after a night of pleasure. More often, he would pull Han Junzhou into his private gym. Even during non-heat periods when Han Junzhou didn’t stay at Qinglang Court, Bai Chengyu would still invite him over. The two of them would spar, comparing techniques from different martial arts schools. Of course, these sessions often turned into something else, and before long, the gym was filled with the scent of roses. The simple-minded Bai Chengyu never understood why, even though it wasn’t his heat period, every time he sparred with Han Junzhou, the place would always be filled with the sweet aroma. He thought it was just his growing needs and didn’t notice that the shameless old Alpha was subtly seducing him.

Bai Chengyu had a strong foundation and sharp learning abilities. Many techniques, after seeing them just once or twice, he quickly grasped. Han Junzhou, in turn, felt at ease sparring with Bai Chengyu. Especially when he pinned him down and Bai Chengyu, despite his frustration, seemed to be both unwilling and submissive—looking like a little leopard that Han Junzhou had worked hard to tame. He was both wild and obedient, so adorable. Han Junzhou couldn’t help but secretly release a rosewood scent, causing the little fish to become more and more flustered, unable to tell if it was his own brain releasing endorphins or if the shameless Alpha was releasing hormones. All he knew was that he felt incredibly relaxed, his body becoming drenched.

The wet little fish was even cuter, but Han Junzhou could only think about it privately. If Bai Chengyu knew that Han Junzhou was calling him cute, he would definitely become pouty again.

Of course, Bai Chengyu didn’t know that Han Junzhou often thought of him as adorable. In the arena, Bai Chengyu was always exceptionally serious. He knew that there were always better people out there, and in his current situation, Han Junzhou was the best coach for him. Han Junzhou was willing to teach, and Bai Chengyu was willing to learn. He was very satisfied with the current teacher-student, and even friend-like relationship between them.

Han Junzhou was also quite satisfied. However, if their relationship could have an extra layer of exclusivity, he would be even more content.

At that moment, it was the hospital’s monthly meeting, and Han Junzhou’s second cousin, the hospital director Han Junbo^[1], was speaking on stage. Han Junzhou didn’t hear a word of what he said. He sat there with a smile, his eyes narrowing as he thought about his little wild leopard.

“Doctor Han,” Director Han Junbo called out.

“Huh?” Han Junzhou suddenly snapped out of his daze and noticed that the meeting room was empty. “Is it over?”

Han Junbo walked over and playfully gave him a hard tap on the head.

“Ouch… Second brother,” Han Junzhou complained, rubbing his forehead. “You’re so strong.”

“You’ve been sitting there grinning like an idiot, didn’t even realize the meeting ended. You’re really out of it.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll leave now,” Han Junzhou immediately stood up, ready to escape, but was stopped by Han Junbo.

“I heard you’ve been getting close to the Black Horn family. What’s going on? Are they causing trouble for you?” Han Junbo paused, then continued, “The Black Horn family has had some conflicts with the Wantai Hall recently. There’s also some internal chaos. Our Yunbang has always maintained neutrality. Don’t get involved in their mess.”

“What’s that supposed to mean, second brother? Where are you going with this? I’m not causing any trouble. I’m just… just…” Han Junzhou sighed and honestly explained, “I’ve found my destined mate. He’s the young master of the Black Horn family.”

“Which young master?” Han Junbo frowned, listing several young men from the Bai family around Han Junzhou’s age. “Bai Jiao, Bai Jing, they’re already married. Bai Yu is a Beta, Bai Lei and Bai Zhilan… Oh, you’re talking about a young master? These two are females. Who else? Bai Chongwu? Impossible, that fool wouldn’t interest you. And he seems to be an Alpha, plus from a different generation. Hey, don’t tell me you’ve gotten involved with any of the married ones. Putting aside their Black Horn background, if you were to have an affair and interfere in someone else’s marriage, your father would probably kill you.”

“No, he’s not from a different generation, nor is he from the collateral branches,” Han Junzhou braced himself and said, “He’s from the direct Bai family, Bai Chengyu.”

“Bai Chengyu?” Han Junbo was shocked. “Bai Lin’s son? Isn’t he an Alpha too? You’ve found another Alpha? Can two Alphas really be destined mates?” Han Junbo frowned, thinking carefully. After a moment, he said, “Wasn’t there news that the young master of the Bai family was seriously ill? Wait, that doesn’t make sense. He’s only about 17 or 18 years old, and you’re what, almost 36? Are you really that old, chasing after sick grass^[2]?”

“He’s turning 20, and he’s not sick. He’s an Omega…” Han Junzhou explained everything that had happened over the years, and Han Junbo listened with growing concern.

He shook his head. “I can’t control this. But it’s the Black Horn family. Why did you get involved with them?” Han Junbo frowned even more. “I’ll talk to Big Brother. You… be careful! The Black Horn family may seem respectful to Yunbang, but who knows what’s really going on behind the scenes? I’m worried Bai Lin may have other plans for Yunbang. You need to be cautious. He’s not going to just hand over his only son to you. Could it be some beauty trap?”

Han Junzhou chuckled bitterly. “Bai Chengyu, with his fiery temper, isn’t the kind of person his father can just give away to anyone.”

When Han Junbo heard this, he laughed instead. “It sounds like you haven’t won him over yet?”

Han Junzhou pouted. “Almost.”

Though he was pretending to be confident that it was nearly done, he hadn’t expected things to progress so quickly.
