Ch6 - An Appointment

“Mr. Su?”

Su Yuzhou blinked, took the bag handed over by the waiter, glanced at the dining car again, and couldn’t help but say, “He asked you to bring this as well?” 

The waiter nodded with a smile.

Su Yuzhou looked at him suspiciously, “Su…” After a pause, he suddenly remembered that he didn’t know the man’s full name.

He pursed his lips and continued to ask, “How did he know that I’m staying in this room in order to ask you to bring things over?”

The waiter’s smile froze. 

Then he said calmly: “This is not very clear, sir, please use it as you please, I will go first.”

Then, he left Su Yuzhou’s room, closing the door for him kindly before leaving.

Su Yuzhou frowned, walked over and locked the door with a click. Although theoretically, it is unlikely that he would be in any danger as an alpha, but…

Didn’t an accident happen just last night?

After locking the door, he walked back and stared at the luxurious dining car, and finally couldn’t help reaching out to open one of the dishes’ lids.

As soon as the lid was opened, the tempting aroma of the food permeated in an instant, causing Su Yuzhou’s stomach to growl.

He swallowed subconsciously, realizing how hungry he was.

The one he opened was seafood risotto. After being cooked by the top chef of the S hotel, it was full of color, flavor, and taste. 

He only ate some fried chestnuts today, and was now hungry and hooked by the food’s fragrance.

Su Yuzhou opened the remaining lids.

In addition to seafood risotto, there were grilled steak, bacon and asparagus rolls, vegetable salad, corn chowder, and Black Forest cake. Finally, he saw a golden-colored, very tempting creme brulee.

Wasn’t this a little much for a dinner? 

“Gulugulu——” His stomach complained that it was empty.

Su Yuzhou thought for a while, but did not start eating immediately. He was a little confused. Although it was sent by a hotel waiter, he still felt it was a little unsafe.

Even if there was no safety issue, what was the purpose of Mr. Su sending him dinner?

Has he not given up yet? 

Thinking of this possibility, Su Yuzhou’s heart skipped a beat, and he rubbed his lower back. After resting for a whole day, he still felt a throbbing pain there.

He pouted, and couldn’t help but feel resentment towards Su Qian, although towards the end of the night…

He actually felt very pleasurable!

It was so painful at first that he wanted to die, but towards the end… Su Yuzhou held his forehead, forcing himself not to recall what happened last night. 

He picked up the bag handed personally to him by the waiter, opened it, and looked inside curiously.

What is this?

It looked like a box of ointment.

Su Yuzhou took out the medicine box, carefully unpacked it and looked at the instructions. Looking at it, the blush that had subsided on his face slowly reappeared.

“Shhh—” The sound of water came from the bathroom.

After a while, Su Yuzhou, who took a shower and applied the ointment, walked out of the bathroom.

The medicine was cool and comfortable, but its location was a little awkward… 

Su Yuzhou touched his nose, and his ears reddened again.

He shook his head, looked at the food in the dining car again and finally walked over, transferred everything to the table, and sat down to eat.

Maybe he was too hungry. Despite the huge amount of food, he ate everything, and he even felt only 80% full.

Since when was he so capable of eating? 

Recalling that the doctor said that after he differentiated into a high-quality alpha, there might be some changes in his body, Su Yuzhou calmed down again.

That night, he lay on the bed in the hotel, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, unable to sleep.

As soon as he closed his eyes, what happened last night would come to his mind. The more he thought about it, the clearer the memory became.

What he remembered most clearly was the scene where he hugged the man and gnawed at him, and was finally pushed down on the floor in retaliation. 

He still remembered the man’s eyes full of anger. In the dim light, there seemed to be two fiery flames, so bright as if they were going to pierce him…

Ba-dump, ba-dump.

Su Yuzhou heard his heartbeat echoing violently in his ears.

He rolled over and hugged his pillow tightly. 

After an unknown amount of time, his breathing eased again, and he slowly fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, Su Yuzhou found that he seemed to be completely healed, but to be on the safe side, he re-applied the medicine once more.

Not wanting to go down to the restaurant, he called room service directly and asked the waiter to bring breakfast.

The waiter was different, not the one from last night. 

Watching the other party push the dining cart away, Su Yuzhou sat quietly on the sofa for a while, and finally got up.

He flipped through the clothes in the suitcase, put a casual set on my body, and went into the bathroom to fix his hair in front of the mirror.

Just as he was about to go out, his cellphone alert rang.

Ye Yilang: [Ayu, the grades will be out tomorrow, which school are you going to apply for? Is it still the city college? You should be able to go to any school with your grades.] 

Su Yuzhou glanced at the screen, grabbed his room card, and started typing as he exited the room.

Although his rut came early, he currently felt fine: his mind was clear, and his pheromones were controlled. It should be fine if he went out for a while.

In this ABO world, the education system is similar to his original.

Because the susceptible period usually occurred after adulthood, and only a select few would experience it one or two years earlier, ABOs still attend school together prior to high school. 

After high school, they are divided into AB schools, BO schools, or single-sex schools. No matter what, it is necessary to separate AO to avoid accidents.

The students here also have to take the college entrance examination. Although studying was very hard, but after he had lived a year as a corporate slave in his last life, Su Yuzhou still cherished campus life.

University…

He had not yet decided which school to attend, but there was still time to fill out the application forms, so he was not in a hurry. 

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Su Yuzhou entered the elevator.

Looking at the buttons of the elevator floor, he clenched his fist; there was some struggle in his eyes.

Just when he decided to change his mind and was about to leave the elevator and head back to the room, the elevator door closed automatically and started to descend.

Su Yuzhou pursed his lips and stood still. 

The elevator stopped when it reached the 5th floor. The cleaning aunt pushed the car into the elevator, smiled and said hello to him.

Su Yuzhou also smiled back.

However, when he saw her pressing the button on the top floor, the smile on his face froze, and his heart started pounding in his chest again.

His hand clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, and finally when the elevator reached the top floor, he quickly pressed the button for his floor. 

The cleaning aunt didn’t think much about it, she pushed the cart and walked out of the elevator, but the cart’s wheel accidentally got stuck at the door.

Su Yuzhou automatically helped her.

“Thank you.”

The auntie smiled at him, then pushed the cleaning cart to the door of the suite, but instead of ringing the doorbell, she took out the room card and directly opened the door of the general suite. 

As soon as the door opened, Su Yuzhou could vaguely smell the faint scent of chestnuts.

When watching the auntie push the cart in, he finally realized something was wrong and asked her, “Auntie, the Mr. Su who stayed here yesterday…”

“Oh, he just checked out, are you looking for him? ”

Su Yuzhou froze, shook his head, turned around in silence, and walked back into the elevator. 

The elevator began descending.

The feeling of weightlessness was a little uncomfortable.

Su Yuzhou bit his lower lip, watching the floor number count down one by one, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly reached out and pressed a button a few times.

Soon, the elevator reached the first floor, and he rushed out. 

Hotel Lobby.

“Mr. Su!”

Su Qian stopped and turned his head to look at the alpha who stopped him.

His brows furrowed, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. 

“It’s really you, Mr. Su. I’m Xi Gao, do you remember me?”

With a warm smile on his face, Xi Gao walked to Su Qian’s side.

He was a male alpha, and his handsome appearance was a ten points out of ten points. “We met at an auction in the capital of country A. I didn’t expect for us to meet here today. It’s really fateful!”

Compared with his enthusiasm, Su Qian was cold. 

Although he did have an impression of Xi Gao who was one of the few alphas he spared a second glance, he was not in the mood to greet him now.

“Does Mr. Su have any plans after this?” Xi Gao asked expectantly.

However, without waiting for Su Qian to answer…

“Yes, he has an appointment.” 

A clear and smooth voice suddenly sounded, Su Qian paused, and turned his head to look over.

At some point, Su Yuzhou had arrived in the lobby.

He walked over quickly. Wearing a simple sweater and jeans and a pair of white sneakers on his feet, he looked full of the youthful vigor unique to teenagers.

“Who are you?” 

Xi Gao looked at him vigilantly.

Facing a young man who was also an alpha, he dropped his enthusiastic and friendly demeanor for hostility.

Su Yuzhou paused and looked up at Su Qian.

He ran over in a hurry, and when he heard their conversation, he blurted something out on the spur of the moment, but after calming down, he realized that he didn’t seem to have the position to say this. 

However, Su Qian slightly curved his lips.

“We do have an appointment.” He said to Xi Gao, then looked at Su Yuzhou, “Let’s go.”

Then he walked out of the hotel.

Su Yuzhou looked at his back, nodded towards Xi Gao, and then strode to catch up with him. 

“Mr. Su!”

At the gate of the hotel, Su Yuzhou called out to him.

Su Qian stopped and turned around.

With his hands in his pockets, he stood tall, and his well-fitting suit made him look extraordinarily shrewd and capable, and there was an innate extravagance in his gestures. 

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Yuzhou, and said, “Have you changed your mind?”

Translator’s Note:

Sorry for the long break! I was on vacation. I’ll also be starting a new job soon so hopefully I can still stick to the 1 chapter a week schedule. Any good BLs you’ve read recently that are currently untranslated? I just recently read another 1×1 story called “Attack 1 Can Only Be with Attack 2 (攻一只能跟攻二在一起)”by 疯狂更新 – you can MTL if interested! It’s an interesting dynamic in that there is an actual enemies-to-lovers arc as opposed to instant chemistry.
