This Alpha’s Pheromones 128

Chapter 128 – Caught Red-Handed in the Bed

Liu Wei didn’t expect that Film Emperor Jiang Ming would be such an amiable person. Previously, Zhang Qiongzi was also very kind. Liu Wei felt that actors with higher statuses were kinder! On the contrary, some up and coming celebrities were extremely arrogant.

Thinking such thoughts with a happy mood, Liu Wei put the medicine down on the table and shouted towards the bedroom, “Qiu-ge, Jiang-laoshi is here to visit you.”

Qiu Jin wasn’t in a deep slumber. The sound of the door opening had woken him up. He mumbled under his breath and stuck his head out of the blanket. His voice was a bit hoarse.

“…Who?”

At that moment, a slender and tall figure appeared at the door.

“Jiang-laoshi？” Qiu Jin squinted his eyes and was at a loss for a moment. “Why are you here?”

“I wanted to practice lines with you, but I didn’t know you have cold.” Jiang Ming placed the cough syrup and antipyretics on the bedside drawer. “Take your medicine first.”

Qiu Jin didn’t move. Instead, he asked, “Where’s Liu Wei?”

“I’m here,” Liu Wei came into the bedroom right away. “You don’t want to take the medicine? Then do you want to eat something first?”

“It’s fine.” Qiu Jin shook his head. Looked like he was thinking too much. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with the medicine.

Thinking about it, this drama series was very important for Qiu Jin, so if Jiang Ming wanted to mess with him, he would wait until they were done filming the show.

He picked up the medicine and took it. While washing the medicine down with water, he drank too fast and a small stream overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Ming aptly handed him a handkerchief. The handkerchief was made of light gray silk and it had intricate patterns sewn onto it.

Qiu Jin didn’t take the handkerchief. He just wiped his mouth with his hand. “I’m fine. It would be bad if I got your handkerchief dirty.”

The latter smiled. He withdrew the handkerchief in a gentlemanly manner, without showing the slightest embarrassment.

However, Qiu Jin felt very uncomfortable. When he saw Jiang Ming smiling, his stomach hurt.

That’s because in the novel Jiang Ming was a person who did not reveal any flaws on the outside. His internal emotions and external expressions were the inverse of each other. He would smile kindly at you on the surface, while secretly plotting your demise.

For example, when he was getting rid of the protagonist’s pursuers, or pulling out Qiu Jin’s glands… the bloodier his hands got, the warmer his smile became. He was like a flower of despair that sprouted from the depths of hell.

And when he was really happy, he would show a bewildered expression instead.

When the protagonist gave him warmth, Jiang Ming had revealed a dazed and even flustered expression.

He was like a child that grew up without his parents’ love, so when he suddenly received warmth from someone, he was at a lost and did not know how to respond.

This kind of contrast was simply too moe*. The readers ate it right up and howled for more.

[*T/N: moe – a term from Japanese popular culture to express feelings of adoration for something one finds cute]

To be frank, not many people could resist the hidden fragility of a strong character, especially if it was a special weakness just for you.

Qiu Jin was also caught by the allure of Jiang Ming’s character setting and wanted to see Jiang Ming tear apart all the cannon fodders.

That was until he himself became said cannon fodder.

Alas, there was no need to expound on this subject any more. Qiu Jin only had one thought in his head and that was to not offend this big boss no matter what. It was best not to get involved. His ideal outcome was for them to never see each other again after the filming of this show was finished.

Qiu Jin huddled on the bed. His body was already ill, but he pretended to be sicker than he was and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m not in a good state today. I don’t think I can practice lines with you.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ming smiled again.

Qiu Jin: “…”

Dude, can you please stop smiling and act properly for once?

“I don’t intend to practice lines with you anymore.” As he said this, Jiang Ming took a seat beside the bed and asked, “How are you doing?”

This move could be described as somewhat rude. Qiu Jin shrank back and said in a low voice, “I’m fine. I just want to sleep.”

His body language and underlying meaning to his words was clearly saying that he wanted the uninvited guest to leave. But Jiang Ming ignored the signs. He even leaned forward, slowly moving towards Qiu Jin.

The distance between them shrunk more and more. Qiu Jin’s muscles tensed up. Just when Qiu Jin was ready to throw hands to get this guy to leave, Jiang Mind suddenly stopped midway, sniffed lightly, and then wrinkled his brows.

“Honey milk scent?”

“Huh?”

“Is that the scent of your pheromones?”

It was the scent of pheromone blockers.

But Qiu Jing didn’t tell the other party that. He just gave a vague “en” sound.

He had a vague feeling that Jiang Ming was here to confirm whether he was an omega or not.

If Jiang Ming confirmed that Qiu Jin was an omega, then would he stop being jealous of Qiu Jin and Xiang Xi’s relationship?
