Chapter 510: The School Bully Alpha Gets Sanctioned Again! 16

~7 min read 1,288 words

Madam Jiang originally thought the person coming would be a cute, soft Omega, or a gentle, tolerant beta.

But when she saw Jin Chen, who is 1.9 meters tall, step out of the car, she took a deep breath and almost blacked out.

This... this overwhelming Alpha pressure—how could it be their son's partner!?

Jiang Fu's already cold and stiff expression grew even more stiff.

"Are you… Jiang Xun's friend?"

Madam Jiang's voice trembled.

Jin Chen saw their strange expressions, froze for a moment, and nodded politely.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Jin Chen, Jiang Xun's classmate."

"Ah… hahaha." Madam Jiang almost lost her balance, stepping back two steps, "Good, good, good, it's great that you're classmates—come in."

Jin Chen took all the gifts out of the car and followed them inside.

Upon entering the living room, they still first presented the gifts.

"Jiang Xun said you like jewelry, so this is a gift for you."

Madam Jiang was still in shock, trembling as she took the gift; she had only meant to glance at it casually, after all, it was the child's intention.

But upon opening it, she suddenly took another deep breath.

"Child… child, you used this as a gift—do your family know?"

Madam Jiang almost felt like today was some kind of fright day.

"They don't care about these; I'd rather give it to someone who appreciates it more than keep it for myself."

Jin Chen saw Jiang Xun following behind, and his eyes softened with a smile.

"This is a calligraphy and painting gift for Uncle; Jiang Xun said you like these most, and we happen to have some stored from recent years, hoping you'll like it."

He handed over the sandalwood box with both hands to Jiang Fu.

With the jewelry as a backdrop, Jiang Fu also formed an opinion on the value of his son's friend's gift.

However, the calligraphy and painting shouldn't be opened in front of the gift-giver, so he merely accepted it, and the stiffness on his face eased considerably.

"You're thoughtful."

"Uncle, you flatter me; this red wine is for Jiang Dage—my brother says when he's tired from managing the company, he relaxes with a drink."

Jiangjian hadn't expected there to be one for him either; he raised his eyebrows, took it, and continued sizing up the person before him.

After all, they'd misunderstood—this classmate simply wasn't a romantic prospect at all.

Or maybe they're just in an AA relationship.

Jiang Xun finally found a chance to interject, walking toward Jin Chen as he spoke.

"What a huge production! I'm telling you, my mom heard you were coming and even went to the kitchen especially—you're in luck, kid!"

Madam Jiang smiled, holding back her embarrassment.

She made that for her future daughter-in-law to eat!

But just based on the importance of that jewelry, the effort in the kitchen wasn't wasted!

Jin Chen finally sensed something from this awkward atmosphere.

Recalling how Madam Jiang had stared at him in surprise when he got out of the car earlier, he suddenly understood.

"What are you spacing out for? It's still early for dinner—you said you'd teach me homework today."

Jiang Xun also felt the atmosphere was a bit odd, but couldn't put his finger on it.

"All right, all right, go on—but we still have to thank Xiao Chen for helping our little Xun study."

Madam Jiang finally eased from her surprise; even as friends, they really liked this child.

He's handsome, well-behaved, good at studying—basically a model child!

After they went upstairs, Madam Jiang plopped down on the sofa and patted her chest.

"Scared me to death—I was still wondering which Omega could grow this tall."

Jiangjian stroked his chin, looking upstairs, still feeling something was off.

"But this kid's family probably isn't bad either—to just give away such expensive jewelry."

Jiang Fu had just finished speaking when he suddenly put his palms together in surprise, "What did this kid just say his surname was? Jin?"

Madam Jiang nodded while admiring the jewelry, "Yeah, how so—have you ever collaborated with his family's elders?"

"He couldn't be from the Didu Jin Family, could he?" Jiang Fu pondered.

"Oh come on, how could that be!"

Madam Jiang gave him an annoyed glance, "If they were the Didu Jin Family, how could they be studying in A City? I heard their heirs have all gone to Europe to fight over the inheritance."

"That's also…"

——

Upstairs.

Jiang Xun hurriedly shut the door, his face full of confusion.

"Really strange—why didn't I notice before how enthusiastic they are about my friend?"

Jin Chen surveyed the room's layout; the living area resembled a small lounge, with game controllers filling a cabinet, the sofa littered with tangled headphone wires and blankets, and the posters and models on the walls mostly related to games.

"Where's your desk?"

"Your desk?"

Jiang Xun blinked, then pointed casually.

"Over there."

Jin Chen followed the finger, paused silently for a second, then corrected, "I think that should be called an esports gaming table."

"As long as it's a table, that's fine." Jiang Xun didn't care about the details.

Fine, whatever my wife says goes.

Jin Chen didn't argue further, opened his bag and took out all the materials he had organized.

"Today I'll first teach you to finish your homework, then tutor you on the basics."

"Oh—"

Jiang Xun obediently sat beside Jin Chen, casually flipped open that notebook, and tapped his fingertip on the handwriting, "Why is your handwriting so beautiful."

He still didn't dare get too close to Jin Chen, afraid that the same strange feeling from yesterday would resurface.

Jin Chen looked at the distance between them, his cool voice hinting at something subtle, "Are you very afraid of me?"

"Why are you staying so far away?"

"I'm hot."

Jiang Xun casually found an excuse, lowered his head and muttered, "Don't ask so many questions, you…… what are you doing!"

Suddenly smelling the agarwood lingering around his nostrils, he instinctively inhaled deeply, then after realizing it, tightly covered his nose.

Jin Chen had already moved in close, the probing and subtle smile in his cool brows were obvious.

"Why such a big reaction? I also feel hot, I just took off my outerwear."

The agarwood scent became more obvious with his movements, and Jiang Xun even began to feel a faint heat in the glands at the back of his neck.

He stepped back a little more, becoming somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Sit up straight, don't get too close to me."

"Why?"

"No reason, you have so many problems."

He pinched his nose, speaking in a muffled voice, which looked very cute in Jin Chen's eyes, and he couldn't resist reaching up to ruffle his soft hair.

"Alright, sit up straight, I'll explain the problem to you."

Jin Chen took hold of his arm and pulled him up.

Jiang Xun sat down awkwardly, his fingertips tightly gripping the corner of his own clothing.

He could hear his own heartbeat growing increasingly intense.

But…… why.

They're both Alphas, huh.

To confirm the doubt in his heart, he decided to run an experiment.

"Jin Chen, turn around."

"Huh?" Jin Chen obediently turned around, "What do you want to do?"

"Here goes nothing."

Jiang Xun cheered himself up in his mind, got up and lunged forward.

The two embraced each other.

Jin Chen even stumbled backward from the force of the lunge, quickly steadied the person in his arms so they wouldn't both fall to the ground.

At the moment of the embrace, Jiang Xun smelled an overpowering agarwood scent, and his muscles tensed.

It wasn't just because of the pheromones.

His fingertips trembled slightly, and he finally understood what it was.
