DIGAOT Chapter 8

Su Yun sat up in bed with a start, his first instinct was to glance around his nearly barren bedroom.

Their relationship was just an arranged marriage, so Su Yun had never considered this villa his home. In the past, this seemed perfectly normal to him, but now…

The knock on the door interrupted Su Yun’s thoughts. Lu Yuan was standing outside, holding his pillow. The discomfort from his impending susceptible period was becoming more intense.

He wasn’t lying—given their high compatibility, the temporary mark he used to soothe Su Yun had triggered his alpha’s susceptible period ahead of schedule.

The usually tall and imposing alpha leaned against the door, his shadow stretching long on the floor, giving off an air of loneliness.

Hearing no response from Su Yun, Lu Yuan knocked on the door again.

Lu Yuan: “Wife?”

His voice, muffled by the door and tinged with the effects of his susceptible period, had a dullness to it that stirred something inside Su Yun.

Su Yun reached up and touched the glands on the back of his neck. But everything felt normal—no heat, no burning sensation. His pheromones were well under control, indicating he wasn’t in his heat cycle. So why did he feel the urge to go and hug the alpha?

Strange, Su Yun thought as he looked at his hand.

Could pheromones really have such a strong effect between an alpha and an omega?

Lu Yuan was practically pressing his ear against the door, straining to catch any sound from inside.

After a brief silence, Su Yun finally controlled the urge to embrace him: “Didn’t you prepare a suppressant?”

He waited for an answer, but instead of a reply, he heard a low, suppressed groan from Lu Yuan. It was brief, lasting only a second or two, but it sounded like he was trying to endure some immense pain. The moment Su Yun heard it, his expression changed.

“Lu Yuan!” All thoughts of their relationship being “just an arranged marriage” were thrown aside as Su Yun rushed to open the door. “Are you okay? Where does it hurt—”

He didn’t get to finish as the alpha immediately pulled him into a tight embrace.

Behind Su Yun, Lu Yuan’s hand discreetly swiped his phone’s screen, and he gleefully stopped the recording labeled “Painful Groan – 001.”

An hour earlier, Lu Yuan had noticed something was off with his body and had messaged his partner.

Lu Yuan: “Taking a day off tomorrow. Need to restock on suppressants.”

Partner: “You still use suppressants?”

Partner: “Hahahahahahahaha”

Lu Yuan: “??? You don’t?”

Partner: “I have a wife!”

That was the first exchange.

Half an hour later, Lu Yuan sent another message.

Lu Yuan: “Does your wife soothe you?”

Lu Yuan: “Does he stay with you during your susceptible period?”

This time, the partner’s reply was slower. After about ten minutes, he added Lu Yuan to a group chat.

Group chat name: **”Research Group on the Challenges and Strategies for Alphas to Win Over Omegas in Arranged Marriages”**

Lu Yuan: ???

President A: “Welcome, newbie.”

President B: “Welcome, newbie +1.”

President C: “Study materials available in the group files.”

Confused, Lu Yuan clicked into the group files, where he saw titles like *”Guide to the Art of the Suffering Strategy,”* *”108 Green Tea Alpha Techniques,”* and *”The Alpha Code: Vol. 1 (Required Reading)”*…

Lu Yuan: !!!

President Lu felt like he had struck gold!

The learning process was quick, but President Lu knew the importance of combining theory with practice. With the mindset of “If the mountain won’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain,” he set out on a new journey toward happiness!

Back in the present, President Lu hugged his Omega tightly: “Wife, when I hold you, the pain goes away.”

Lu Yuan: “Wife, I really need you.”

Su Yun’s ears turned red again: “S-Stop saying such things!”

Lu Yuan: “I’m only telling the truth. Wives are supposed to be important.”

This wasn’t something he had learned from the guide—his father had taught him this since he was young.

Still holding his pillow, the alpha lifted it up, gesturing for Su Yun to see: “So, wife, can I sleep with you?”

Su Yun hesitated: “But…”

Lu Yuan looked at the Omega, who was clearly struggling: “Wife, is… it inconvenient?”

Lu Yuan: “It’s okay if we don’t sleep together.”

Lu Yuan: “Wife, can I sleep on the floor?”

Lu Yuan: “As long as I can stay by your side, I’ll be fine with anything!”

Lu Yuan (eager to learn and practice): “Wife! Can I sleep on the floor today? (??˙o˙)?”
