T/N: No updates next week as I’ll be out and won’t have signal. -k
Seeing his expression, Shi Yi knew that he was probably being tricked again.
But scalds really need to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise they will blister and scar.
He swallowed the food in his mouth, grabbed Lu Yunye’s hand, and walked over to the tap and turned it on.
The burnt place was a little painful. Lu Yunye lowered his eyes, watching the water flow over. It itched a little, like being scratched by a kitten’s paw.
Shi Yi’s attention was focused on examining his wound. His waist slumped slightly, rounding his back into an arc.
Lu Yunye swallowed his saliva, feeling his throat was a little tight.
Such a small injury doesn’t need to be dealt with. With his self-healing ability, it will probably be almost healed tomorrow morning. But for some reason, he wants to see the other party worry about him.
While Lu Yunye spurned himself in his heart, not wanting to interrupt Shi Yi, a sudden sound from the door ruined everything.
“Lu, Lieutenant Colonel Lu!”
A soldier in dusty training uniform appeared at the door.
The soldier was likely punished by the instructor, and didn’t make it to lunch. His dark face was tanned, and he was visibly shocked when he saw Shi Yi.
After all, the probability of an omega appearing here is too small. The ladies in the infirmary all went home to get married last month, and when they came back, they were already marked.
Having just finished running laps, his blood was racing and his whole body smelled of sweat and pheromones. And Shi Yi appeared in front of him with a slender and soft figure, and a fair and handsome side face, as if he could fall down with just a push.
Lu Yunye’s face immediately turned dark when he saw this, “Get out!”
“Yes, yes!” The soldier woke up like a dream, wishing he could give himself two slaps. How could he dare to look at Lieutenant Colonel Lu’s omega!
By the way, why is there no mark on that omega…
Just as he was feeling anxious, Shi Yi spoke out: “Wait.”
“Do you have a bandage?”
“Yes, yes,” The soldier blushed, not daring to look up at him, and took out a few band-aids from his pocket for a long time.
However, before he could hand them over to Shi Yi, someone had reached out to grab them.
Lu Yunye’s expression was gloomy: “Nothing here to see, go do whatever you were up to.”
“I- I’m going to the toilet!” He jumped up and left Lu Yunye’s line of sight as if fleeing.
“Why are you so aggressive?” Shi Yi frowned. “Put the band-aid on.”
“When we get back to the room, you can’t come out casually.” Lu Yunye said sullenly.
“Are you ordering me?” Shi Yi was a little unhappy, wondering what switch in Lu Yunye’s mind had flipped again.
“No…” The words in Lu Yunye’s throat were caught. “It’s all alphas here… I’ll accompany you wherever you go.”
Behind the guest house is the alpha dormitory building and the training ground. Shi Yi wasn’t planning to go out except to go to the cafeteria: “…Okay.”
Lu Yunye breathed a sigh of relief.
He came out of the army, so he knows this environment all too well. The military camp is like a big dye vat. For these young and energetic alphas with nowhere to vent their energy, even a good-looking medical staff member would make them injure themselves just to line up to see the doctor.
If Shi Yi ran out alone, he would probably have a heart attack.
But his worry is obviously unnecessary, Shi Yi’s life is very quiet. After returning to the room, he buried himself under the blanket and slept. His glands breathed with each breath naturally, rising and falling together until the whole room was filled with the light smell of pheromones.
Lu Yunye suppressed his glands, not daring to release pheromones to disturb the sleeping omega. He sniffed the smell, and after carefully studying it, there seemed to be a hint of sweetness.
Shi Yi’s pheromone seems to change a little every time he accompanies him through the susceptibility period. Although the change isn’t very strong, the pheromones were no longer as sour and astringent as it was at the beginning.
Development. The word suddenly popped up in Lu Yunye’s mind.
He just doesn’t know what kind of pheromone Shi Yi’s glands will produce when they mature.
——–
Probably because the vitality of his body had not recovered, Shi Yi slept until the afternoon. Instead, Lu Yunye was full of energy and couldn’t sleep anymore.
He half leaned against the head of the bed, browsing through the information that Tang Yi had sorted out and packaged.
Lu Jingyan really started to run amok, and even visited some veteran shareholders.
It’s almost mid-autumn.
Lu Yunye’s eyes were dim and hazy. When the moon is full, all kinds of ghosts and demons like to jump out.
The omega beside him moved, and Lu Yunye instantly restrained his hostility, closed the file, and waited quietly for Shi Yi to wake up.
He recently discovered a little habit of Shi Yi, that is, before waking up, he would always moan twice and turn over a few times before struggling to fully wake up reluctantly.
Sure enough, Shi Yi muttered, turned over to his side, stretched out his hand like a conditioned reflex, and put his arm on his hard and firm abdomen.
“Stop crying, be good…” Shi Yi closed his eyes and patted it a few times. “My head hurts from your crying.”
Lu Yunye: …
He endured and endured, and finally stretched out his hand to pinch Shi Yi’s upturned nose.
Shi Yi really woke up in a daze, but his expression was still lost in that dream. Seeing that Lu Yunye was not crying, he took the initiative to lean over and kissed him on the side of his face.
Having just woken up, Shi Yi is warm and soft, filled with the fragrance of pheromones. His lips are as soft as jelly, his arms are lightly wrapped around his shoulders and attached himself to alpha like a dodder flower.
“It’s agreed, if you don’t cry, you get a kiss.” Shi Yi tapped his chin, and then his vision gradually became clear…
It seems that Lu Yunye’s susceptibility period has passed.
However, before he could back away, the other party wrapped his long arms around his waist. And then he was pressed down, trapped between Lu Yunye’s body and the bed, and his lips were eaten inside out.
The kiss started off like a greeting, first licking the outside, and then squeezing between his lips. Shi Yi was completely awake, but he couldn’t muster any strength, and he was so angry that he kicked his legs.
After being hammered a few times, Lu Yunye unhurriedly let him go, and said in a hoarse voice, “Kissing me as soon as you wake up, huh?”
Shi Yi blushed. He didn’t know whether he was angry or something, so he simply ignored him.
They’re having dinner with Ji Bai and the others tonight. Does Lu Yunye deliberately not want him to go out to meet people?
Shi Yi ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. His lips were just a little red, not yet swollen, so… it shouldn’t be obvious.
A tall figure appeared in the mirror. Lu Yunye stood behind him, buttoning his shirt slowly. His firm chest muscles were covered by cloth, leaving only the faint outline of his muscles.
Shi Yi squinted at him from the mirror. Gentle scum.
Lu Yunye pretended not to see his gaze, and turned away: “Dai Xing is already waiting downstairs. They reserved a table in the restaurant.”
Dai Xing found a special driver to drive so they could drink. Seeing the two of them come down, he opened the car window and greeted him, “You’re finally down, we must have a big drink tonight!”
Immediately, his gaze focused on Shi Yi. “Brother-in-law, did Lao Si bully you again?”
“Inflammation.” Shi Yi said unhappily.
“How did that happen? Today’s meal is for you!” Dai Xing said with a sigh. “Lao Si, how did you make brother-in-law angry!”
Shi Yi: …
It seems that he has to talk to Xia Qian when he goes back. This alpha needs to be carefully considered.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Ji Bai and the others were already waiting.
Standing next to Ji Bai was a very bookish omega. Wearing a light gray scarf, he was tall and slender. While he was talking, Ji Bai slightly lowered his head and listened carefully.
Seeing them, the omega greeted them with a smile: “Hi, I’m An Cheng.”
“Professor An, I have admired you for a long time,” Dai Xing shook hands with him, and then turned to introduce him to Shi Yi and Lu Yunye. “Professor An is a master in psychology. He started his own business in London and just opened his first branch in Beijing this year.”
When he heard that the other party had such great achievements, Shi Yi was even more at a loss. It was too undignified to meet him like this with swollen lips.
Unexpectedly, An Cheng winked at him, and pulled out the logo of the scarf. “I am Feiyi’s loyal customer. The things designed by the boss are unique.”
Shi Yi took a closer look, and found that it was really his own design. Regardless of whether the other party’s words are sincere or not, being able to prepare to this level shows An Cheng’s thoughtfulness.
As expected of a background in psychology.
Because of this, Shi Yi felt a lot more relaxed. “If there’s anything Professor An likes, feel free to come to the store to pick it up.”
Although Lu Yunye and Dai Xing have retired from the army, they have kept in touch with the team. The chief instructor also rushed over, accompanied by two subordinates, for the meal.
Sure enough, Lu Yunye brought up the matter of a thorough investigation of overseas funds at the dinner table. A huge amount of Lu Jingyan’s assets came from unknown channels in Vietnam, and were laundered in Macau casinos before flowing into the mainland.
“We have an informant in Ho Chi Minh City who can check for you.” The instructor pondered. “If drug trafficking or human trafficking is involved, then the matter will be more serious.”
Shi Yi didn’t understand the topic, so he focused on eating. Ji Bai on the opposite side also rarely spoke, and Shi Yi saw him take An Cheng’s unpeeled lobster and exchange it for peeled ones.
He didn’t expect this fierce looking alpha to have such a careful side.
Professor An was not polite either. When the food he wanted was put in front of him, Ji Bai helped him pick it up. Peeled shrimp, shredded ribs, and shelled abalone, one is responsible for peeling and the other is responsible for eating – their cooperation is very tacit.
No matter what Ji Bai is busy with, as long as An Cheng speaks, he will definitely listen to him, and do it meticulously even if it is a small matter like getting a tissue.
Shi Yi’s chopsticks paused. This is what a normal couple looks like.
“What are you thinking about?” Lu Yunye looked over, and stretched out his arm to pinch a chopstick of chrysanthemum greens for him. “Why don’t you eat more vegetables?”
“Thank you,” Shi Yi whispered.
Lu Yunye probably didn’t hear it. The two majors have been toasting him and drinking the entire time, but Lu Yunye doesn’t seem drunk at all. It seems that he’s really good at drinking.
By the second half of the meal, Shi Yi was already a little tired, but the business on the other side hadn’t been finished yet.
An Cheng mouthed to him, and pointed to the door at the same time: “Do you want to go out for a walk?”
This professor is quite cute. Shi Yi nodded and stood up.
“They should continue for a while.” An Cheng moved a few times on the spot. “I’m so stiff from sitting.”
The two walked to the terrace outside, and An Cheng said, “Does Feiyi have less autumn and winter inventory this year? I saw a sweater online, but several stores didn’t carry it.”
“En, there are fewer customers placing orders this year.” Shi Yi pursed his lips. “Because of the public opinion matter…”
“Ah, I’ve encountered this before,” An Cheng let out a sigh of relief. “The company was about to go public, but the risk rating never passed, and I almost fell into depression at that time.”
Shi Yi was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Professor An, who seemed confident and gentle, to encounter such a big setback.
“You don’t look very happy tonight.” An Cheng turned to him. “Would you mind telling me?”
The other party’s eyes are very sincere, which inexplicably gave him a sense of solidity. Thinking that the other party studied psychology, Shi Yi hesitated: “I had some dreams…”
The cool breeze on the terrace quickly calmed down his heated mind. As Shi Yi talked, it didn’t feel like he was talking to An Cheng, but more like a way to vent.
The lingering emotions, the blurred faces in the dream, and the real worry and shock after learning that Lu Yunye was susceptible.
“You mean, you dreamed of Lu Yunye when you were a child?” An Cheng confirmed.
“It’s not necessarily him,” Shi Yi pursed his lips. “It just feels a lot like…”
He could only remember some fragments from the dream, like a flickering old film, but the feeling of familiarity was very strong.
“When did it start?” An Cheng’s voice was gentle and powerful, as if leading his thoughts back a little bit. “Perhaps when your glands started developing again?”
Shi Yi was startled, and touched the back of his neck in disbelief. There was still no noticeable change there, it remained smooth and flat, unlike the normal round bump.
“Although there is no medical evidence, I think your dream should be related to your glands.” An Cheng paused for a few seconds. “If it happened when you were a child, it may be memories from before you were ten years old.”
Shi Yi frowned slightly. Before he was ten years old, he was still in the Shi family’s villa. These memories are definitely not good, but these dreams seem to have nothing to do with the Shi family.
Was there ever an alpha who showed him kindness?
Seeing Shi Yi’s disbelief, An Cheng continued, “If you don’t mind, you can come and find me tomorrow morning. I can try hypnotizing you.”
