[ Of course, Jiang Cheng is no help in trying to figure out what is going on with, well, Jiang Cheng. The guy lives in denial forever, won't ever give an inch so Wei Wuxian can't take that mile. But he still can't help but shake the feeling something is definitely, irrevocably wrong with Jiang Cheng. Something that he's going to have to fix himself.
It's not a shameful thing to be an omega, they were never told such growing up. But sometimes Wei Wuxian can't help but think that Jiang Cheng would've been better off being an omega or an alpha rather than the sad middle state of a beta. Betas are supposed to be grounding figures, a balance between the three designations, and there are more of them than alphas or omegas. They're good all around. But with someone as competitive and full of bluster as Jiang Cheng, being on either end of the scale rather than squarely in the middle would've been better for him.
Which makes right now rather ironic. He's sure something has changed here, his nose wouldn't lie to him, but he doesn't know how to get Jiang Cheng to confess to anything, to acknowledge anything. The idea of him changing designations... it's not unheard of but it would be rather miraculous. Could he have truly become an omega now?
Is it Wei Wuxian's fault?
So, he decides to do this: let out some of his mating pheromones, the ones that he keeps locked under tight and that you're only supposed to use with your mate. They're basically nothing for a beta other than, maybe, a tickle to the nose. But can be quite mollifying for an omega, almost like a drug. It's a drastic action but he needs to know, how is Jiang Cheng going to react? ]
