Chapter 023: “Let’s Get Married!” (02/07)
Xie Chenyang licked at his teeth imprints, reaching out to pick him up and proceed to walk towards his room.
Huo Qi: “?” How can this little O be so strong?
“Xingxing, get out.”
“The suppressant …….”
“No need, get out.”
“Okay, Master.” Xingxing obediently left the room, gently closing the door behind him.
Xie Chenyang laid Huo Qi on the bed. Huo Qi reached out against him. “Enough. Where are your suppressants?”
Because of the temporary imprint created from the earlier kiss, the Omega in front of him carried a trace of Huo Qi’s pheromones on his body. If things continued, his self-control might not be enough.
“What are you talking about?” Xie Chenyang caught his hand and lightly bit it. “You’re an Alpha; if you really didn’t want to, wouldn’t you have been able to free yourself from me at any time while I carried you over here?”
Huo Qi had to concede. Perhaps he secretly did have a desire to take advantage of the situation. This idea was dangerous.
The little O was in heat, and while his pheromones were damned near perfect, making Huo Qi’s heart flutter, this posture wasn’t proper. “Don’t press any further.”
Xie Chenyang held down Huo Qi’s shoulder and lowered his head for a kiss.
[Is this a case of the mouth lying while the body is honest?]
You Huang, who did not want to see the mosaics, had long since disappeared, and did not answer back.
Huo Qi’s eyes darkened and he avoided Xie Chenyang’s lips. He fiercely rose and pressed him down on the pillow, where he took a look at the back of his neck before sighing huskily. “You don’t want to use a suppressant, fine. I’ll give you a temporary mark1A temporary mark is made when an Alpha bites the pheromone gland on the back/side of an Omegas’ neck. They somehow release their own Pheromones through either saliva or teeth into the gland. As a dominant, they can then suppress the Omegas raging pheromones a bit allowing them to become rational once again. The caveat is that it IS temporary. Depending on the intensity they can last anywhere from the next time they shower to a few months. Thus needing to be re-done frequently, but in most fandoms, this can cause a physical dependence on that alpha who can then have control over the omega. Markings usually do not work the other way around. Omegas pheromones can coat a Alpha but cannot leave a Mark, and Betas don’t have the ability to do either., but nothing more.”
Xie Chenyang’s face was buried in the pillow, and he was temporarily marked …… with a bite?
“I’ve marked you.”
It was not just a bite.
Huo Qi’s head drooped; the pheromones emanating from the back of his neck made Xie Chenyang red-eyed. Huo Qi bared his fangs before biting down. The pheromones coming from Huo Qi gradually soothed the restlessness within Xie Chenyang.
The one he loved had been delivered right to him–would he still be a man if he didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to partake?
When Huo Qi lifted his head with restraint and asked if he felt better, Xie Chenyang rolled over and looked at him with affectionate eyes. “A little bit better.”
Just a little bit.
Huo Qi: “You ……”
Xie Chenyang stretched out his hands. Huo Qi assumed he wanted him to pull him up and reached to take hold.
Xie Chenyang yanked him closer and rolled over to press him down.
The two men embarked on an exchange of physical skills.
In the end, Huo Qi was one move behind and captured by Xie Chenyang.
— Living room. —
Xingxing saw that the dishes on the table had gotten cold and brought them to be reheated.
They cooled and were reheated again.
Until finally ……
Xingxing dumped the dishes into the trash. “Let’s just make it again once the master comes out.”
—–
It was already dark when Xie Chenyang emerged. “Xingxing, make some food. Enough for two.”
At the same time.
Huo Qi, who was inside the room, quickly dressed up before opening the window and jumping out.
—–
After having instructed Xingxing, Xie Chenyang went back to his room: “?”
Where’s my lover?
You Huang could recognize his confusion and alerted, “He jumped out of the window and left.”
Xie Chenyang quickly moved to the window but couldn’t find a trace of Huo Qi and was annoyed: [Why, ah? Does he not want me!”]
You Huang helplessly sighed. “What you have don– don’t you have an idea in your heart?”
[But we are lovers, ah!]
You Huang: “You are forgetting that for him, this is his first time ever seeing you.”
Xie Chenyang’s face instantly turned red. Oops. After two lifetimes together, when he saw Huo Qi, he directly labeled him as his lover, forgetting that the other no longer had any memories of him.
You Huang was really worried. “And ah, in this lifetime, he is an Alpha… and yet, he ended up being bedded by an Omega… How can he not feel embarrassed?”
Xie Chenyang frowned: [He wanted a mark. Didn’t I give him a mark?]
You Huang: “That was a temporary mark to cope with your estrus, I presume. Besides, an Alpha in this world would have preferred to fully mark his Omega. Why don’t you let him give you a permanent mark?”
Xie Chenyang searched with his light brain for the meaning of permanent marking before he incredulously exclaimed, [What are you talking about? My lover likes being underneath!]
You Huang: “Heh.”
[Ah Huang, quickly, tell me how to coax him!]
You Huang: “What are you talking about? How would I know such a thing?”
Xie Chenyang held his head and squatted in the corner, pondering for several moments: [Well, I don’t think he’ll be angry.]
You Huang: “Oh?”
[Because, I could feel it, ah. He clearly enjoyed it. So how could he be angry? He must be shy!]
In the end, Xingxing’s meal for two was eaten by Xie Chenyang alone.
[What is the identity of my lover now?]
You Huang: “His name is Huo Qi ……”
Huo Qi, the Sixth Legion’s second-in-command, with numerous battle honors.
Currently recuperating from injuries.
He did not want to burden the Empire and made his own decision to select an ordinary place to recuperate alone, without requesting anyone to attend to him.
“He is currently living right next door to you.”
Xie Chenyang replied as he ate, [I had thought that he had his memories in this life and came to find me on his own, de su2Comes from the Japanese word de su (です), which is an auxiliary word of mood. It is a kind of honorific and is extended to the translation of all the habit words, such as あります, ですの, etc. at the end of the sentence. At this time, there is no real meaning. Keisuke Gumshoe in “Ace Attorney”, Kushina in “Naruto”, Verushi in “Rozen Maiden”, Ito in “Shugo Chara”, Kagura in “Gintama” and Squid Girl in “Invasion! Squid Girl” are all representative characters with the habit of “de shuu”. — Baidu —- Krone: In Japanese, です desu is one word. Technically, it’s also not a word as it’s just a polite way of speaking. Although connotation could be different depending on how someone says it xD cutesy gives diff vibes obv xD But that’s just my observation as a passable speaker xD.]
Delivered himself directly to his door and all.
You Huang with a face full of question marks: “De su?”
[Ah, when I watched the plot, I noticed that Yan Chen was influenced by watching a lot of dramas, but he always liked to add ‘de su‘ at the end of the sentence. I accidentally used it too, hahahahaha.]
When Xie Chenyang became full, he hesitated momentarily, then asked Xingxing to make another meal. He put it in an insulated box and went out to ring the doorbell next door.
Five minutes later.
Xie Chenyang stared at the tightly closed door to the last apartment on his floor: [Ah-Huang, help me open the door.]
You Huang: “This world’s technology is quite developed, I ……”
Xie Chenyang: [Ah? You can’t?]
You Huang sighed: “Forget it.”
The door opened and Xie Chenyang walked in with a smile on his face. [Ah-Huang, you are awesome, thank you! ]
You Huang: “Go kneel and apologize!”
[I, Xie Chenyang, have never knelt down to anyone in my life!] He had just finished saying this to the system when he saw Huo Qi walking out of his room while staring at him with icy cold eyes.
It was really chilling.
Xie Chenyang’s legs softened and he dropped to his knees, raising up the lunchbox. ”I’m sorry, I was wrong! I came to bring you food!”
Huo Qi’s gaze carried a searching incredulity. “How did you get in here?”
Xie Chenyang didn’t dare to raise his head and whispered, “Your door wasn’t closed …….”
“I locked it.” Huo Qi walked forward in measured steps, his boots clicking on the ground with a rhythmic sound. “Moreover, I’m using one of the most powerful and efficient doors in the world here.”
Xie Chenyang: [Do you think he’ll forgive me if I stand up and hug him right now? Just give him a big kiss?]
You Huang: “I don’t think so.”
Xie Chenyang: [What should I do?]
You Huang: “Tell him you have an intelligent system ……”
Huo Qi stopped in front of him. Bowing slightly, he reached out and lifted his chin, “Who sent you?”
Xie Chenyang’s eyes, which appeared to be naturally affectionate, stared at him without blinking. “No one! It is my fault, all right? I admit that I came in without your consent ……”
Being gazed at by those eyes of his, Huo Qi withdrew his hand. “How did you get in?”
“Can I get up first? The floor is a bit cold.”
Obtaining his permission, Xie Chenyang grinned and stood up, pulling the other man over to the sofa before sitting down and opening the lunchbox. “C’mon, eat and listen to me as I explain everything.”
Huo Qi didn’t refuse and picked up his chopsticks. “Do you need me to give you time to compose something?”
“It’s not made up. I do have an intelligent system.” Xie Chenyang raised the light brain on his wrist and swiped it on. “It’s what helped me break through your defense system and open the door for me.”
It wasn’t a lie; it was a system that helped. His system, named You Huang.
Huo Qi lowered his head and ate the meal, but out of the corner of his eye, he was looking at the light brain that was on display.
Xie Chenyang gently said, “Ah-Huang, say hi.”
You Huang’s calm voice rings out, “Hello.”
Huo Qi slowly swallows a mouthful of rice. “The average intelligent system can’t break through my defenses.”
There were indeed many intelligent systems circulating on the market; that was true. The functions varied. Those with some money would usually buy an intelligent system to install on their Light Brain to make it easier to operate.
But, in this particular apartment of his, Huo Qi was using the Empire’s Military Defense System.
He had to suspect that Xie Chenyang could be an agent of the Federation or someone from another legion sent to spy on him.
It was even possible that the previous incident of having his door kicked in by two Alphas while in heat were both calculated.
“Ah-Huang is not an ordinary system.” Xie Chenyang looked at him with sincerity on his face. “How about this, let’s register and get married, so that our Light Brains can become open to sharing mode, and you’ll be able to use Ah-Huang!”
Huo Qi didn’t respond to him and kept his head down as he ate.
When he’s more or less done with his food, he then wipes his mouth while watching him. “Marriage?”
Xie Chenyang nodded vigorously. “Yeah!”
Huo Qi became even more skeptical in his heart, but nothing could be seen through his cold mask as he bluntly said, “I have an unconventional identity; you’ll have to pass a test if you want to get married to me.”
Xie Chenyang: “Test, test, test!”
Huo Qi could smell the herbaceous scent that Xie Chenyang’s body carried, and with his eyes downcast, he tapped his optical brain and initiated communication.
After being connected, a projection of a man in an Imperial uniform appeared in front of them.
“Deputy General.”
Huo Qi blandly responded, “I’m getting married; arrange for someone to come over and do the test.”
The man was shocked. “Getting married!?”
“Yes, I’ll send you the address., Come over tomorrow morning.”
The man saluted. “Yes, Sir.”
Huo Qi hung up the communication.
You Huang: “Is this how you’re supposed to get married? He’s agreed to this? Could it be any faster?”
Xie Chenyang smiled smugly: [What are you talking about? Our feelings are so deep, isn’t marriage a normal operation! ~]
Huo Qi also saw his smile; his eyes darkened and he moved over to kiss his lips.
Xie Chenyang hugged him, extremely cooperative.
Huo Qi had to admit that the pheromones of the man in front of him fit him well, and the closeness of the two made him enjoy them.
But …… he pulled back slightly and held him down in his arms, gently stroking his back. “Who taught you to do that?”
Xie Chenyang: “What?”
“Before ……” Huo Qi lowered his head and lightly bit his ear. “Between an Alpha and an Omega, it’s not done that way.”
Xie Chenyang leaned comfortably in his arms. “Then how is it done?”
“It should be me ……”
“You didn’t like it?”
“It’s not that I didn’t like it.” Huo Qi’s voice was low. “But it wasn’t proper; if you were with any other Alpha, you wouldn’t have survived.”
“But you’re not someone else–you like it and I like it, isn’t that okay?”
“If you want to marry me, you must accept my permanent mark3Permanent Marking, While engaging in penetrative sex the alpha bites the gland (and sometimes a certain thing swells inside of the bottom) during climax. This deposits a large amount of the Alpha’s pheromones into the recipient omegas body causing a permanent mark. As the name implies it is usually very difficult to break and is seen as a marriage bond socially..”
As things had already happened, Huo Qi had no intention of going over past accounts. However, some misconceptions still need to be corrected.
Xie Chenyang: “Let’s talk about it later. Can I sleep here with you tonight? I’m a bit tired.”
“…… You can.”
“Say, the test you mentioned, what is it?”
“A military polygraph.”
