Hold On, You’re Something Else

Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Beauty with broken bones

When the police station received a report regarding people doing illegal drag racing, they had already prepared to send a patrol team. Only, since the location was in the Mid-levels, they knew it would take them a long time.

As Zhou Xiang also reported the same case as Rong Jing did, the police station suddenly became alarmed and briefly cooperated with the traffic police department. They asked the station nearest to the location, which was responsible for drunk-driving incidents, to have a look at the situation first.

The group of people in the scene were very nervous as they got questioned by the traffic police. Just then, the loud roar of an engine could be heard from the sky. If one were to look from the helicopter, one would see that the current scene at the ground was chaotic.

The people looked up in shock at the helicopter hovering above them, their mouths wide open, and thought, The heck’s up with that?! Is someone shooting some kind of espionage movie? We just got together to have some fun here. We don’t want to go to jail, yo.

Zhou Xiang actually rushed as fast as he could to reach the scene due to the influence of the young master, Rong Jing. However, he still came later than the traffic police. 

He used a speaker horn to call out to Xie Ling, who was currently looking up at him from the ground. “Boss Xie, please stay there! Don’t move!”

Xie Ling did not move, helplessly looking up at the helicopter. He could already guess who was the person behind the current farce.

In the hotel, Rong Jing lay feebly on the sofa. He really wanted to turn off his phone so he wouldn’t hear any bad news. However, after calming down, he thought of why there were so many obstacles just for making a simple phone call, why Zhou Xiang happened to be away from his brother at this perfect moment. All these points were telling him that Xie Ling’s death was a very important event in the novel.

The phone suddenly rang causing Rong Jing to jump up. When he saw the caller’s name, Xie Ling, and heard the familiar cold voice of the man from the other side of the phone, Rong Jing covered his nose and hid all the expressions on his face in the palm of his hand.

A lot of things happened. He did all sorts of stuff. He thought it was impossible!

Alright!!!

Xie Ling increased the call volume because of the loud roar of the helicopter’s engine. “I’m fine. I’ll come to the company tomorrow to talk about the rest. It’s late now, you should go to bed.”

Rong Jing, who didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his brother’s words, hung up the call instead.

After turning off his phone, Xie Ling’s eyes, which carried warmth just awhile ago suddenly turned chilly. He looked at his fingers and said, “Go to the drug laboratory.”

The Xie family had a wide range of businesses and invested in different industries. Xie Ling has started to invest in the medical technology industry, acquiring a laboratory that was on the verge of collapse but was full of talented people.

This kind of laboratory had always required large investments in the early stages with little to no profit so it had always struggled to look for investments. Xie Ling had also been losing money in this regard, making other shareholders complain. Also, because of this expendable investment, recently there were voices appearing on the sidelines, saying that the second young master of the Xie family should also join in the company’s decision making.

But now, it seems to be of some use.

Soon they reached the laboratory. Xie Ling asked one scientist to scrape the residue off his finger. He painstakingly waited for the results. Before the result came out, he held on to a small glimmer of hope that he was wrong. He had always tried his best to treat his second brother well. If in return, he’d get such devastating results, wouldn’t it be so… sad?

Back to Rong Jing’s side, he didn’t obediently follow his brother’s order. Since he could now remember some of his memories from his original world, he tried to remember who Guan Hongyi was, the person that was supposed to die in the novel.

Guan Hongyi was Gu Xi’s old friend. Though he looked young, he was actually over his thirties. He was an assistant director of a well-known horror film abroad. He was well known internationally but not many people know him in China.

He returned to China at the beginning of the year and has been pulling investments to prepare to make his first domestic thriller film.

Though he wasn’t popular, he had her own wiki page. Rong Jing looked at the photo on the page, surprised, “Oh wow, it’s him.”

Surprisingly, it was that man who was crossdressing as a woman who he encountered just the other day.

Damn, did I bring some kind of cheat or something? How could I always meet someone that’s connected to the protagonist?

When he recalled what happened in the beginning, he thought that what he should be most worried about now was Gu Xi.

However, they were strangers to one another and he was certainly more concerned about Xie Ling, who could very well die at any moment, than the unfamiliar protagonist.

It was impossible for him to become partial just because the other person was the protagonist.

Judging from Gu Xi’s speech at the Film Academy, he had probably avoided his first encounter with Wu Fuyu because of his intervention. It can be assumed that parts of the story can be changed but it would be very hard to change the main plot. One proof of that is the difficulty of saving Xie Ling. It would be more difficult to save Guan Hongyi then. He would surely encounter a lot of obstacles.

The difficulty may depend on the identity of the character, whether they are a cannon fodder or a supporting character, or the extent to which a certain character has an impact on the story.

Rong Jing could feel an inexplicable doubt in his heart. Has he overlooked any kind of important, critical information?

No, no. I’ve been thinking too much all night. I feel like my head’s going to explode. It’s better that I rest for now. I need to relax my mind for now.

I think no one’s going to bother me anymore now, Rong Jing thought and so he took off his clothes, got into his bed, covered himself with the blanket, and closed his eyes, all of which were done swiftly.

All that had happened for the day had made him very tense. Now that he’s assured that his brother is fine, he could finally feel his body relaxing. In just a few seconds, Rong Jing had already fallen into a deep sleep.

A soft snore could be heard in the room. The rhythm of his breathing soon synchronized with Gu Xi’s who was currently on the other side of the wall. Rong Jing had turned off the lights before he fell asleep so his room was currently very dark at the moment.

At this time, the door of the elevator on the corridor opened.

The manager of the hotel had received instructions from Xie Zhanhong to report to him if he ever sees Rong Jing. He went to the floor where Rong Jing’s room was, accompanied by a shy-looking beauty. The person was obviously a grown adult yet still looked soft and fragile.

Xie Zhanhong is a man of his word. Since he told his son that he was going to give him a surprise, he was going to keep that promise.

With the number of contacts he had with regards to this “aspect”, he was able to pick the perfect ‘dewdrop beauty’ among countless candidates. This term ‘dewdrop beauty’ was coined by an Alpha, and made specifically for Gu Xi.

In recent years, Alphas had started to like the beauty that resembles that of Gu Xi’s. He had basically become the standard of beauty. Of course, no one really managed to look like him but people with the same temperament as him could always be found. However, not all of them had good qualifications.

As the first Omega that is going to take Rong Jing’s v-card, not only must they be of age, beautiful and fit, they must also be pure as well. Not even a trace of a temporary mark should be found. In order to find this kind of top-quality beauty, it could be said that Xie Zhanhong took great pains to dig up this treasure through various methods.

The beauty followed the hotel’s manager, the sound of their footsteps repressed by the European carpet. Soon, they reached the door of Rong Jing’s room quietly.

The manager said, “Remember, the young master is a very timid person. You must proceed with caution. You should never act like you’re very eager! If he refuses you, act like a spoiled brat then slowly let him taste the benefits of having an Omega by his side.”

The beauty was confused and wondered, “R-refuse?” He’s never had an unimaginable encounter of an Alpha refusing a very willing Omega. The Omega could not help asking, “Is he really an Alpha?”

The manager sighed, “You don’t understand. These young masters from these wealthy families are either so sleazy and unruly or guarded like a precious jade. The latter is rare, but this young master here is… he really is like a fake Alpha.”

The beauty suddenly felt curious about the person inside the room and felt motivated, like the person inside was a quest that needed to be conquered, completely forgetting that he was the one that’s supposed to suffer tonight.

He nodded gently, “Alright.”

“Okay. As soon as you get inside, release your pheromones, make him excited or something. I’m sure that no Alpha can escape your clutches. Do a good job, Lao Xie has high expectations of you.”

The manager thought to himself that even a Beta would not be able to resist such a high quality beauty. Their young master would not be able to resist this person unless he was some kind of immortal free of worldly pleasure.

I know the young master will give in.

The beauty took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself for what was to come. He took out the room’s keycard then quietly opened the door. It was dark inside. The owner of the room was already asleep.

It was the beauty’s first time to do this sort of thing. Hesitation could be seen from the beauty’s face as he looked back at the hotel manager. The manager beckoned him to continue walking inside, “Don’t worry, the young master’s very good looking. You won’t lose out.”

Judging by the timid actions of this Omega, he was probably still a novice in this ‘business’.

The manager couldn’t help praising the ‘good sides’ of his young master.

His young master wasn’t the kind of handsome that was very common among the public. He had mixed-race facial features, like a person that had European aristocrats as his parents.

Don’t assume that Alphas are the only ones who ‘prey’. Even an Omega could become greedy once they see a really good Alpha.

The beauty took a deep breath once again then closed the door quietly.

The room was dark aside from curtains opened to allow the moon to shine through. A big bulge in the bed could be seen, accompanied with the shallow breathing of an Alpha.

The beauty felt a bit scared yet also felt excited.

The whole room was filled with a faint yet refreshing scent of an Alpha. However, this ‘faint’ smell still carried a hint of tension and danger that only comes from an Alpha. The person in the room was obviously a vigorous and powerful Alpha male. It would be difficult for an Omega to refuse such a strong Alpha.

The beauty swallowed hard. They say that an Alpha’s scent was the most important to note. Just from his scent alone, maybe he really is very handsome? Still feeling nervous, the beauty apprehensively lifted up the blanket that was hiding the man.

Thinking about the manager’s reminder, the beauty decided to start with the basics.

First, the ankles. His skin was very smooth. Next the calves, the indication of strength and toughness. Little by little, the beauty went up and got more nervous. He pulled back a little as he looked at the motionless Alpha. He was already releasing his pheromones yet no reactions could be seen from him.

Was he really in a deep sleep that he couldn’t even feel an Omega touching him?

When the beauty continued to move up, he almost let out a loud gasp. The person in front of him was really sound asleep. He had never been this close to an Alpha. He felt a bit embarrassed, his face felt a bit hot.

His heart gradually started to beat faster. This Alpha really had a nice body.

Rong Jing was sleeping like a log, dreaming about something, something that was touching him. He couldn’t get rid of it, and so he subconsciously struggled to get out of it.

It was only a…dream.

“Waa!”

What the heck!

A pair of cool, soft snake-like hands suddenly grabbed him. His body immediately stiffened. A shiver ran down Rong Jing’s spine. Is ‘that’ a place that can just be touched casually?

Rong Jing slung a leg forward with powerful force.

One moment, the beauty was releasing his pheromones while shyly teasing the Alpha. However, the next second, he was turned into a parabola. [T/N: LMAO IMAGINE BECOMING A PARABOLA]

He hit the wall and let out a mournful cry.

Crack.

The beauty… had probably sustained some fractured bones.

Gu Xi was awakened by the loud sound in the other room. He got up in a daze, still feeling a bit sleepy.

What was that, was there an earthquake?

After a few seconds, he finally felt more awake. With his sleep being disturbed, he stared hard at the wall that kept on making loud noises, his eyes dead.

Damnit, you don’t have to make these ground shaking loud sounds to make babies, okay?
