TSFLIP Chapter 489

“Miss Xia?”

“Huh?” Feng Guang snapped back to reality, realizing Xu Wang was staring at her with those deep, dark, and bright eyes, clearly waiting. Her face flushed red as she fumbled to open the book, cleared her throat, and began to read aloud:

“The summer bird flew to my window, sang a song, and flew away again. The autumn leaf had nothing to sing—it sighed once, and drifted down.”

Stray Birds contains 325 delicate, untitled poems. Day and night, streams and oceans, freedom and betrayal—all are woven together under Tagore’s pen, along with love, family, and friendship, revealing his deep passion for life.

The study was quiet, save for the girl’s clear voice and the scratch of pen on paper.

Xu Wang, calmly taking notes, looked serene and composed. He had always carried an elegant and gentle air, but at that moment, seated by the window, writing in silence, he seemed like a portrait of timeless grace. The light filtered through behind him, casting a soft glow that made his refined features seem carved from jade. It was a scene that felt still and eternal.

As Feng Guang continued reading, an inexplicable calm settled over her. When she reached the eighth poem, she couldn’t help but glance over at Xu Wang:
“Her eager face, like the night rain, disturbed my dreams.”

Resting her chin in her hands, she stared at the man across from her without blinking. Framed by the window light, his perfect profile looked even more luminous and tender. After a long pause, she tilted her head slightly and sighed in admiration, “Warden, you’re really good-looking.”

Xu Wang’s pen paused mid-stroke. He looked up at her. “Is that line from the book too?”

“No,” she shook her head, then said softly,
“Listen quietly, my heart. Listen to the world’s whispering—
It is its love song to you.”

Xu Wang put his pen down.

Feng Guang blinked, confused. “Why’d you stop writing? That was poem number thirteen!”

“Miss Xia.”

“Yeah?”

“Your pheromone levels are rising.”

She froze. “I… I don’t feel anything?”

Of course, she didn’t—that’s what made it weird.

Xu Wang’s lips curved into a slight, teasing smile. “Do you know what that means?”

“What…?”

“You’re going into heat. For me.”

Boom. It was like fireworks exploded in her brain.

“T-that’s ridiculous! There’s no way I’d go into heat for you!”

“Pheromones don’t lie.”

“I—I’m wearing the bracelet Xiao Xiao gave me!” She held up her wrist to show him. “There’s no way you could sense my pheromones!”

“Miss Xia, I think there’s something you’ve misunderstood.”

“What?”

“The bracelet can suppress your pheromones as a female Omega. But it can’t stop your heat response from activating,” Xu Wang said in a gentle voice. “It’s true that Alphas can force Betas and Omegas into heat. But when a Beta or Omega enters heat naturally, the target of their desire can also feel it. So yes, Miss Xia, you’re going into heat—for me.”

Please stop saying going into heat! She was going to forget those two cursed words even existed at this rate!

Feng Guang’s face turned red, then white, and finally, she just collapsed onto the desk, burying her head in her arms and choking out, “I hate this world! There’s no such thing as privacy!”

She had only been a little moved for a split second—and he caught it! How was she supposed to admire handsome men in peace from now on?
