It had failed. "Compatibility: 43.2%." Ji Jinxuan lowered his head, staring at the test report in his hands. The black text on white paper displayed a number he had never imagined. Qin Yu stood to the side, not daring to speak. Ji Jinxuan had been silently staring at this piece of paper for ten minutes. Xu Lin had successfully differentiated into an Omega, just as Ji Jinxuan had hoped. His pheromones filled the entire room. Ji Jinxuan had been happy at first. Xu Lin, having just…-

Fifty percent probability. Xu Lin's gland had lain dormant for many years. Extracting enough fluid from a withered seed was an arduous task. From the few vials of blood Qin Yu had drawn from Xu Lin's neck, Ji Jinxuan had ultimately managed to extract only 8 milliliters of faint pheromones. "That's all we can get." "If we draw more, Mr. Xu Lin's body won't be able to handle it. His gland is already unusual. If we're too aggressive with it, his life could be in danger." These 8 milliliters of…

Xu Lin folded his paper dragonflies very well. Back in school, by the riverbank, they had first spoken because a paper dragonfly carried by the wind had landed beside him. After they were married, Ji Jinxuan had seen Xu Lin fold them occasionally. He had assumed Xu Lin simply enjoyed making these little trinkets and never asked further. Xu Lin would always quietly clean up the dragonflies he folded. Ji Jinxuan had always thought he threw them away. He had folded so many. They were clearly old…

Xu Lin met Qin Yu again. When he woke up, he was lying on a bed in the treatment room on the third floor. Qin Yu, wearing a mask, was putting several vials of blood samples into a storage container. Before he could exchange pleasantries with Qin Yu, the moment his bodily sensations returned, a sharp pain at the back of his neck made him suck in a breath. He reached up to touch it—his fingertip met a strange sensation. A patch of some sort was stuck to his neck. He was about to tear it off when…

Ji Jinxuan did not return until late at night. When he pushed open the bedroom door, the room was still in complete disarray exactly as he had left it. Xu Lin sat on the bay window with his knees drawn up, his face buried in his knees. Hearing footsteps, Xu Lin slowly lifted his head and glanced over. He gave Ji Jinxuan a brief, silent look and said nothing. Ever since Ji Jinxuan had flipped the mattress and smashed the phone that afternoon, Xu Lin had known he must have gone out to find…

The air in the room seemed to freeze. After a long moment, Ji Jinxuan bent down and picked up the phone. He turned it over in his palm, examining it. It was the latest model, but it was not the one he had given Xu Lin. Nor was it the old phone Xu Lin had brought from District Thirteen. It had been given to him by someone else. Someone Ji Jinxuan did not know about. He lifted his eyes and glanced at Xu Lin on the bay window. Xu Lin looked stunned, frozen in place. Despite his efforts to…

Clatter— The sound of things being knocked over was startlingly loud in the silent villa. "Get out!" A pile of dishes came flying out of the master bedroom door, accompanied by an angry shout. Food and shattered porcelain scattered across the floor. The cleaning staff in the villa did not dare to lift their heads. They focused on their own work. Their heads were down, but their ears could not be closed. The sound of arguing drifted continuously from the master bedroom upstairs. The fire…

A group of Alpha bodyguards followed behind Ji Jinxuan, their presence so conspicuous that many people at the dock turned to stare. One of the Alphas carried a rectangular device. When Xu Lin's boat stalled, he lowered the device. Xu Lin turned the key several times. The boat, which had been working fine moments ago, was now completely unresponsive. He slammed his fist on the dashboard in frustration and cursed under his breath. In those few seconds of delay, Ji Jinxuan had already reached the…

Xu Lin was locked inside the house by Ji Jinxuan. He refused to sleep in the master bedroom, so Ji Jinxuan let him stay in the guest room. Xu Lin did not want to see him, so Ji Jinxuan silently stood guard outside the door. After Xu Lin fell asleep, he would slip in and quietly watch him for a while. But Xu Lin was not actually asleep. He could not sleep at all. He knew that Ji Jinxuan sat by his bed every day, watching him for a long time. He did not understand. Ji Jinxuan clearly did not like him, so…

When Ji Jinxuan returned, the guest room was empty. Xu Lin was not there. He went back to the master bedroom. The door was slightly ajar. When he pushed it open, the scene inside was completely different from when he had left. Utter chaos. The once spotless room looked as if it had been ransacked. Things were knocked over everywhere. The sheets and duvet had been ripped off and thrown on the floor. Every drawer that could be opened was pulled out. The calendar marked with red crosses had…
