-K
Everyone smelled it.
It was a refreshing, unknown floral fragrance.
Casting a mesmerizing and irresistible magic that easily hooked people’s hearts.
The hall fell silent.
Only the melodious music sounded as usual, making the whole venue seem even quieter.
Under the guidance of the fragrant pheromone, everyone turned their attention to Xu Xinghe in the center of the stage.
Some eyes were full of surprise, or curiosity and exploration;
Some people’s eyes watched with moral restraint;
Some people’s eyes became hot and restless, full of desire. A fire of hope flashed in their eyes…
The hottest sight came from the person in front of Xu Xinghe.
Ling Changfeng raised his eyes. Those naturally indifferent orbs were slowly turning red.
At this moment, he finally understood what made Xu Xinghe seem different today.
An alpha’s most primitive impulses began to awaken.
He didn’t know if he could restrain this urge.
A voice told him, knock him down, bite down.
Another voice told him, don’t look there, look into his eyes.
Just as the two voices collided fiercely, he felt gazes from all directions.
Countless pairs of malicious eyes surrounded them, staring at the treasure in his arms and whispering.
Mania peaked in an instant.
The mismatched pupils completely darkened, and then an uncomfortable and horrible pheromone swept across the banquet hall.
It was as if the brave knight turned into a fearsome dragon, looking down at the crowd who dared to spy on his treasure with hostility, releasing an irritable fiery breath…
“He belongs to me.”
Ling Changfeng thought to himself.
“I have to mark him.”
So, dual-colored pupils swept down. The scorching gaze locked on the piece of flesh on the back of Xu Xinghe’s neck.
The latter instantly felt his scalp tingle.
“Ling Changfeng…”
Dizzy, Xu Xinghe raised his head with a trembling voice, and met the pair of reddened pupils.
He shrank back instinctively.
That eerily familiar gaze quickly cooled the fireworks in his anxious heart.
He subconsciously wanted to push Ling Changfeng away, but he couldn’t.
Ling Changfeng pulled him back without tenderness.
“What do you want to do!” Xu Xinghe began to struggle with his feeble strength.
“Don’t move.” Ling Changfeng looked at Xu Xinghe, who was trying to resist, feeling uncomfortable, and said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t you understand? You’re in estrus.”
Xu Xinghe froze abruptly.
He raised his red eyes and stared blankly at Ling Changfeng.
Ling Changfeng’s breath stagnated.
He found that his little spouse was shaking…
Scared.
He lowered his head and stared into Xu Xinghe’s eyes quietly.
No one had ever told him before that an omega in estrus would become so beautiful and fragile.
More sensitive, more restless, and more vulnerable than usual…
He couldn’t break him.
Ling Changfeng used his remaining sanity to remove a cufflink on his right hand…
The sharp sting made his eyes regain clarity.
But his breathing was still rapid, and his breath was still hot.
The susceptibility period of being an alpha has not passed.
Ling Changfeng gently gave Xu Xinghe a hug.
Then he stretched out his uninjured left hand and patted the fluffy head.
He had never done anything like this before, so his movements were clumsy, but he still carefully avoided Xu Xinghe’s sensitive glands.
“Don’t be afraid.” He whispered.
“I, it’s uncomfortable…” Xu Xinghe’s voice gradually weakened, and his body became weaker.
Ling Changfeng simply hugged the person horizontally, walked past the absurd and messy eyes on scene, and towards the exit.
“Let’s leave.”
Xu Xinghe gradually relaxed in Ling Changfeng’s embrace.
The moment he realized that he was in heat, he finally understood what that sea-like breath was.
Ling Changfeng’s pheromone.
It made him comfortable and at ease.
Although the physical discomfort was still present, at this moment, the void in his mind was being filled little by little…
Ling Changfeng tried to completely suppress Xu Xinghe’s pheromone, but failed.
Lacking experience with omegas, he could only use his powerful pheromone to open the way, hug Xu Xinghe tightly, and left the palace through the back door.
“Sir?” The pupils of Colonel Lewis, who was waiting outside, shrank.
Sweet omega pheromones intertwined with strong alpha pheromones, slammed into his face, making him unable to think.
“Everyone gets out of the car. Use another car to keep up. And get a group of people to go to the third hospital to guard.”
After Ling Changfeng finished speaking, he carried Xu Xinghe in and got into his pure black car.
After setting up the automatic navigation to the Third Military Hospital, Ling Changfeng called Qin Yuan again in a hoarse voice.
As soon as the call was connected, Ling Changfeng quickly explained: “Adjust the second and seventh detachments of the Air Defense Guard. Seal off A013 air rail line, block any on-site signals, and disperse the media around the Prosperity Palace. Call Speaker William for me to discuss the follow-up work. He should know what to do… In the meantime, if he has any requirements, we will fully cooperate.”
“Yes!” Qin Yuan on the other end of the phone was stunned for two seconds, quickly beginning to execute the order, and then asked slightly worriedly: “What happened, sir?”
“I have entered the susceptible period.” Ling Changfeng said.
He hung up the phone to the sound of Qin Yuan’s gasp, turned his head and dialed Lu Sen, the director of the Third Military Hospital.
“Xinghe has entered estrus.” Ling Changfeng went straight to the point.
Dr. Lu Sen, who had just finished the night shift and was about to go home, was immediately energized. “Symptoms?”
“Shortness of breath, flushed cheeks, pheromones are very agitated…”
“These are normal manifestations of estrus.” Dr. Lu Sen interrupted him and quickly asked. “Are there any other abnormalities?”
“Do these bulges of blue veins count?”
“No, is he still conscious now?”
“Not very awake. I can’t tell if he passed out or fell asleep. His breathing is messy, he doesn’t seem drowsy…”
“I’m going to the ABO emergency room right now, where are you? Need an ambulance?”
“No, my car should be faster than the ambulance. It will arrive in ten minutes. It is now on the express lane of Section S118.”
Xu Xinghe suddenly opened his eyes in Ling Changfeng’s arms.
His whole body started to twitch!
“Xinghe!”
Ling Changfeng’s heart suddenly seized.
“What’s the matter?” Dr. Lu Sen exclaimed. “I’ve already gone to the specialist emergency room, what’s the situation on your side? Can we use video?”
Ling Changfeng turned on the camera.
Xu Xinghe twitched all over, and his face gradually turned purple.
On the other side of the camera, when the emergency doctors saw this, their expressions changed.
“Stress spasm?”
“It might also be muscle spasms caused by acute pheromone disorder.”
“He came into heat too late.”
“The patient has symptoms of hypoxia!”
“Mycin and R39-2 inhibitor!”
“It’s too late, he can’t wait five minutes.”
After hearing their words, Ling Changfeng suddenly cut in with a deep voice: “Tell me what to do now!”
The discussion stopped.
The leading chief physician replied: “It is recommended to mark, a temporary one will also work.”
For omegas in estrus, an alpha’s mark is the best medicine to relieve symptoms.
The video turned off, the world is clean.
Before he could think about it, Ling Changfeng looked at the purple-faced little spouse in his arms, quickly turned his face away, and turned him around.
The pink skin on his neck was suddenly exposed under his eyelids.
A faint scar lay there, showing a kind of incomplete and fragile beauty.
The urge he had suppressed with great difficulty made a comeback in an instant.
And this time, he finally found an outlet.
He doesn’t have to endure anymore, doesn’t have to suppress it anymore. He just needs to follow his heart…
The military vehicles sped on the express lane, whistling through the sky above the brightly lit city.
Inside the car, Ling Changfeng kissed the back of his lover’s neck again.
Then bit down.
Xu Xinghe’s body trembled violently, and the spasms gradually stopped.
His consciousness was still very blurred. He could only feel the burning sensation at the back of his neck, which slowly calmed down by a pheromone that was as cool and comfortable as water, yet warm and suitable.
The suffocation disappeared when the pheromones were injected into his glands, and even the initial feeling of fever and dizziness disappeared.
What followed was an indescribable comfort and contentment.
And the dreamlike pheromone aroma also seemed to be short-lived. After bursting in full bloom, the flower bud slowly closed…
The process of this temporary marking lasted for more than five minutes.
Ling Changfeng straightened up, and a drop of cold sweat fell down his angular chin.
He reached out and hugged Xu Xinghe back into his arms.
Now, this man has his own smell all over his body.
There was nothing more satisfying than this realization.
Ling Changfeng sorted out his attire. When he raised his eyes again, there was no emotion in his eyes.
Everything seemed to be back to normal.
From the collapse of the sky and the loss of control to the return of order to everything.
On the way back on track, it turned out that only a temporary marker was needed.
Ling Changfeng pulled off his black jacket, wrapped Xu Xinghe, and walked out of the car with him.
Lu Sen and the emergency team waited anxiously outside the car. When he saw them coming out, he quickly greeted them: “How is it?”
“It’s resolved.” Ling Changfeng spoke slowly, his voice still a little hoarse.
To be on the safe side, he still put the sleeping Xu Xinghe on the cart and sent him for a full body examination.
“What’s wrong with your hand?” Dean Lu Sen noticed the injury on the palm of his right hand with sharp eyes.
“It’s okay, the bleeding has stopped.” Ling Changfeng replied indifferently, “When Qin Yuan arrives, let him come to me directly, and then clean up a conference room for me.”
“With all due respect, what you need now is rest.” Lu Sen’s face was serious. “An alpha’s susceptibility period is not much better than omega’s estrus period. You should be very tired now?”
“Not tired.”
“…”
Dean Lu gritted his teeth. “If you have such a skeptical attitude towards my judgment, then I suggest that you go to another hospital for treatment in the future.”
Ling Changfeng gave him a sideways look. “Doctors can still choose patients? What about your medical ethics?”
Lu Sen gaped wordlessly.
He accompanied Ling Changfeng all the way to Xu Xinghe’s examination room without saying a word.
Suddenly, Ling Changfeng said, “I still have something to deal with, and will rest when it’s done.”
Lu Sen snorted: “You should also do a full body examination first, and test your pheromone matching along the way.”
XXH is temporarily marked!
