CHAPTER 4: I DON’T LIKE BEING ON TOP…

When Nie Zihang arrived at the barbecue restaurant, it was already 11 o’clock at night, and the streets were nearly deserted with very few individuals around.

As soon as he stepped out of the car, he saw Beta, wearing a sweatshirt and flip-flops, waving at him from the window directly in front of him. It was his childhood friend, Jiang Ming.

And behind Jiang Ming, there was a slim and gentle-looking man, wearing a simple white T-shirt and a pair of ordinary jeans. Despite the lively atmosphere of the barbecue restaurant, he maintained a straight posture while seated. Was it not Yu Jingxuan, whom he had just seen at noon today?

Yeah, it seemed like quite a coincidence.

However, there was someone sitting across from Officer Yu.

The boy had semi-long hair tied up in a high ponytail, and he had a cute and adorable appearance.

Nie Zihang discreetly sized up the person, noting their exquisite appearance. With such a refined style, they were likely an Omega.

I could not tell at all; Officer Yu did not give off the typical Alpha appearance. Unexpectedly, he had an O. Truly, you could not judge someone solely based on their outward appearance.

After Nie Zihang entered, he walked straight to Jiang Ming’s table and sat down across from him.

“Are you here? I just ordered five pounds of crayfish, ten skewers of lamb, two eggplants, and six chicken wings. Take a look and see if there is anything else you want to eat. Do you want oysters, scallops, or clams?”

Jiang Ming spoke and pushed the menu and pencil towards him.

Nie Zihang loosened his tie, lazily leaning back in the chair. “Anything is fine. Did you order drinks? Get a few bottles of Laoshan¹Light lager-style beer and is known for its refreshing taste..”

“Already ordered. We have 8 bottles ready to go, and if that is not enough, we can order more later. It depends on your mood.”

“Alright.”

As the two of them conversed, a faint scent of Alpha pheromones wafted through the air.

Nie Zihang had a strong aversion towards Alphas and was exceptionally sensitive to their pheromones. He had the ability to detect even the faintest traces of scent.

He coldly glanced around the surroundings.

At this time, the restaurant was not crowded. Nie Zihang and Jiang Ming occupied the first table, while the waitstaff had already cleared the adjacent tables. The dimmed lights also suggested that the restaurant was no longer accepting new customers.

Currently, the closest table to him was the one behind Jiang Ming, where Yu Jingxuan was seated.

But Nie Zihang had already smelled Yu Jingxuan’s pheromones too many times in the past two days. He smelled it²Yu Jingxuan’s pheromone scent. just now as soon as he sat down, which was different from what he was smelling now.

“What is wrong? What are you looking at?” Jiang Ming asked.

Nie Zihang’s gaze fell on the young boy sitting across from Yu Jingxuan, and he narrowed his eyes with a hint of interest. “It is nothing.”

He initially made a mistake in judgement. The young boy who came with Officer Yu was actually an Alpha as well.

“Excuse me, here is your beer. Eight bottles of Laoshan, as you requested.”

The server brought over a box of bottled beer and skillfully placed them on the table, opening each bottle one by one.

Nie Zihang poured himself a glass of beer and could hear the neighbouring table already starting their second round of drinks.

The spirited Alpha at the neighbouring table raised his cup, sticking out his tongue, and said, “Come on, Yuyu, let us drink again! Tonight, we will drink and get drunk, and after that, I will take you to go clubbing. Let me tell you, scumbag Alphas like He Moumou³Refers to He Cheng, using the placeholder name “He Moumou” to represent him as someone considered low or despicable. are not worth our sadness. He is nothing! If you do not believe me, ask Orange and the others. Is He Moumou worthy of you? He is worth nothing!”

Nie Zihang had expected Yu Jingxuan to say something, but to his surprise, the Alpha remained calm and composed, showing no reaction.

After a long pause, Yu Jingxuan finally managed to utter a single word, “Yes.” He then tilted his head back and finished the entire glass of beer.

“We have such wonderful Yuyu! He can cook and do household chores, and he is so gentle! A wife as good as him is hard to find, even with a lantern. But that stupid Alpha finally found him and does not know how to cherish him. Instead, he goes and marks an omega! He is such a beast!”

“Yes!”

Then, the two of them downed another glass.

Nie Zihang and Jiang Ming had not taken a sip yet. The skewers had only been served on a plate, and they were watching the table next to them helplessly, already finishing their third round of drinks.

Probably reaching the peak of revelry, the boisterous Alpha at the adjacent table staggered to his feet, declaring boldly, “Alphas are all beasts! Come, let us toast to the truth we have just discovered!”

What was even more surprising was that the composed Officer Yu stood up as well. His cool voice echoed in agreement: “Alphas are indeed beasts.”

After saying that, the two of them clinked their glasses together but did not take a sip.

The spirited Alpha blinked, looking a bit bewildered. “Yuyu, something seems off… Both of us are Alphas too.”

Yu Jingxuan’s perplexed voice came through: “… What is going on?”

“Did we just insult ourselves a moment ago?”

“En? Did we?”

Nie Zihang could not hold back and burst into laughter.

It was hard to believe that Officer Yu, who was so professional and serious during the negotiation at noon, would end up like this after getting drunk.

Jiang Ming raised his head in confusion, “Why are you suddenly laughing?”

Nie Zihang raised his glass with a cheerful mood and clinked it against the table next to them, saying, “I am happy.”

Jiang Ming: …

Nie Zihang and Jiang Ming did not linger over their meal and finished eating in just over an hour.

Both of them also have a good tolerance for alcohol. They downed 8 bottles of beer, but neither of them showed any signs of discomfort. Their faces did not even change colour.

The table next to them, where Yu Jingxuan was sitting, was a completely different story.

Officer Yu, who always maintained a proper posture with a straight back, was now completely slumped in the chair. His elbows rested on the table, supporting his half-drooping head. It was clear that he was heavily intoxicated.

The Alpha sitting across from Officer Yu, who was still tipsy, continued to babble without stopping.

“Yuyu, let me tell you, those wild alphas we find outside are so unreliable. As long as the Omega species exists, we will never have a chance. No matter how many husbands we find, they will always be lured away by Omegas!”

“Wuwuwu, both Alphas and Omegas are not good creatures…”

“Yuyu, let us go find Betas and ask if they would be willing to be with Alphas. Let us go find Betas, wuwuwu… We are independent, cute, and not clingy—such good wives…”

“Or, Yuyu, how about we keep it within ourselves! Look, at least you are an Alpha and a police officer. Got some muscles on you, right? Let me take a look!”

After saying that, he has already started to lay hands on Yu Jingxuan.

Nie Zihang, who just finished paying the bill and was ready to leave, raised an eyebrow: Is this the result of drinking too much and planning to get a move on your “bestie”?

On the other side, Yu Jingxuan, his face almost hitting the table, swiftly slapped away the overly bold hands of the spirited Alpha.

“No, no… I do not want… to be on top…”

Nie Zihang: …

Was it something an ordinary citizen like him could listen to? Would he not be silenced for hearing this?

The spirited Alpha next door also froze for a moment.

Turning red and then pale, after a good while, he bit his lip and asked, “Uh, then, is it okay if I am on top? I am also an Alpha; it is just being on top; I can do it!”

Yu Jingxuan lifted his head, first glancing at the spirited Alpha, then his hazy gaze gradually shifted to the one beneath him.

Onlooker Nie Zihang: …???

Uh, could it be that he was about to witness two drunk Alphas behaving indecently?

The next moment, a muffled voice from the Alpha could be heard, saying, “You… you cannot… uhm, you are too small…”

After saying that, there was a loud “thud” as his face slammed onto the table.

He fell asleep.

In the empty restaurant, the voice of the tipsy Alpha rang out, sounding like a pig being slaughtered, with a hint of crying, “What did you say?!!”

“Yu Jingxuan! Is that polite!”

The author has something to say:

Lawyer Nie: Seeing another side of my wife after he is drunk is truly adorable.
