turns out Jiang Chi is not tsundere, I think his personality is in accordance to the situation. The fact that he is reluctant and deny his feelings of dependence and fondness in early stage of the plot is because of the situation. Huo Xianfeng's identitiy is literally hidden (even he himselfs didn't know it), and Jiang Chi need to overcome the pheromone disorder caused by the side effect of the inhibitor and the pregnancy-symptoms-like-injection that caused him to be weak. In addition, he is bloody injured and just fight countless alpha in that state. Huo Xianfeng happens to have a pheromones that can soothed him at the moment.
After that, Jiang Chi is in the state of dependence because of the temporary mark, but he himself has a trauma of being (almost) forcibly marked by alpha in the past. Moreover, Huo Xianfeng keeps a distance and teasing him. That is why it makes sense why Jiang Chi seems to be in the mood swing lol.
In my opinion, he is not tsundere, but more like stubborn and have a high pride. He doesn't want to show weakness in front of others, and hate being looked down. That is why he always got annoyed whenever some situation makes him embrassed, as if making him loses face. He is pretty straightforward though, not tsundere.
I took my time to write this because the "tsun tsun shou" almost make me avoid reading this novel, lol. I can not stand tsundere shou no matter how awesome he is. Many times, I preserve because of the plot, or because the character development makes him more frank and willing to express his emotion head-on more.
