Qiu Zhenyang, who had already experienced marking once, was much more proficient this time. Last time, his bite was too hard and hasty, creating a very ferocious wound. This time, he controlled his strength, using a force Ling could accept to inject his own pheromones as gently as possible.
Ling Mu’s body softened instantly, and the hand entangling with Qiu Zhenyang lost its strength.
After the mark finished, Qiu Zhenyang retracted his teeth and kissed the wound with his thin lips. His movements were gentle, like an ambiguous caress between lovers, mixed with pampering and warmth.
And Ling Mu, who had been tortured to the point of exhaustion during estrus, simply fell asleep in Qiu Zhenyang’s arms.
The next morning, Qiu Zhenyang stared blankly with two bloodshot eyes, slumping on the sofa. Dark circles surrounded his eyes, and there was a bruise on the cheekbone on the left cheek from Ling Mu when he woke up frightened.
However, this wasn’t what kept Qiu Zhenyang unbearable, but
 that he actually slept with Ling Mu on the first night of school!
Ah, even if it’s just a simple sleep, it’s not a big deal.
Qiu Zhenyang blinked, feeling a little dissatisfied for some reason

“Brother Qiu, I’m going to school~” Ling Dang was led downstairs by Ling Mu, carrying a small schoolbag, and greeted Qiu Zhenyang, who was lying dead on the sofa.
Fortunately, Ling Dang was doing her homework in her room when Ling Mu was in heat last night, and because she was beta and couldn’t detect pheromones, she didn’t realize her elder brother and Brother Qiu did shameful things. Later, after Ling Mu fell asleep, Qiu Zhenyang reheated some food for Ling Dang, and received a small look of admiration from her.
“I still want to eat the meal that Brother Qiu makes tonight! Brother Qiu please~” Xiao Ling Dang was addicted to eating and acted like a spoiled child with Qiu Zhenyang.
Ling Mu patted Ling Dang’s head lightly, signaling her to be polite. After punching Qiu Zhenyang this morning, the guy still pushed him to eat hot food and vegetables despite the bruises. Ling Mu felt guilty about what happened last night, and he didn’t want to have any more incidents like Qiu Zhenyang’s water delivery, so he didn’t refuse. Of course, he was just as amazed at Qiu Zhenyang’s craftsmanship as his sister.
Qiu Zhenyang is really like a luminous body full of mysteries.
“Okay, I know, I’ll make it. Be careful on the road.” Qiu Zhenyang smiled at his sister, raised his hand and waved, eyes drifting to Ling Mu’s face unconsciously.
Ling Mu’s expression had returned to its usual indifference. The pheromone sticker on the back of his neck completely covered up Qiu Zhenyang’s aura.
That guy slept soundly in his arms last night. After all, in order to prevent the two of them from falling off the sofa, Qiu Zhenyang didn’t sleep all night.
As for why he insisted on squeezing with Ling Mu instead of going upstairs to sleep by himself, it was naturally because
 he wanted to hug him! If it wasn’t for the fear that Ling Mu would have a bigger reaction when he woke up in the morning, he would have carried him directly back to his room. Lying on a bed was much more comfortable than lying on a sofa.
Ling Mu routinely put two nutritional supplements into his sister’s schoolbag, and led her to the door.
Just when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly released Ling Dang’s hand and turned back, walked to the coffee table, picked up the bottle of water from yesterday, and then turned around and led Ling Dang out.
Qiu Zhenyang’s eyes narrowed into a smile. Standing up, he turned to pack and prepare for military training in a good mood.
Although he stayed up all night and didn’t sleep last night, an alpha’s physical fitness is quite good. After a day’s military training, Qiu Zhenyang was only slightly tired, but was fine overall.
He continued to watch Ling Mu from time to time during military training. He was very happy to discover he drank that bottle of water.
Speaking of which, because it wasn’t good to blatantly send water to Ling Mu, Qiu Zhenyang did not plan to send water to everyone today. Who knew Cao Shuhuan followed his example and sent a bottle to everyone in their class, and finally an extra bottle to
 Cheng An’an.
Cao Shuhuan probably heard about Qiu Zhenyang and Cheng An’an in high school, and raised his eyebrows at Qiu Zhenyang when he passed by. His eyebrow raise was absolutely amazing, mixed with burning provocation and disdain, as he boldly and confidently publicized his admiration for Cheng An’an.
The corners of Qiu Zhenyang’s mouth twitched. That naive eyebrow raise, why does it look like he was having a nervous twitch?
After military training, Qiu Zhenyang hurried back to the dorms after seeing Ling Mu go to the school gate.
Today, he is going to make other dishes, and has to re-study those ingredients, so he can’t waste time.
It’s just that Qiu Zhenyang was blocked by a group of alphas as soon as he walked out of the playground. They didn’t seem to be freshmen.
Qiu Zhenyang didn’t panic when he was surrounded, simply staring at the person with the strongest aura in the middle. Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu hadn’t gone too far, and immediately walked over, standing by Qiu Zhenyang’s side, and look at the group with bad faces. “What are you doing?”
“No, I want to talk to you, and get to know this Junior Qiu.” The leading alpha smiled sullenly. “My name is Zheng Xu, a third year. I heard that Junior Qiu seemed to have rejected our school flower, Li Zhen, yesterday, so I just wanted to come and see what kind of person has such a high vision and even looks down on our school beauty.”
Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu looked at each other in surprise. They never heard Qiu Zhenyang talk about it. This guy even refused the school flower’s confession! Awesome!
“Senior already knows my name, so it seems that I don’t need to introduce myself.” Qiu Zhenyang smiled lightly, seeming very flattering with hands in his pockets in Zheng Xu’s eyes. “As for Senior Li, he is indeed a very good person. I, Qiu Zhenyang, am not worthy of such an excellent person, nor do I have the strength to compete with you seniors.”
The people who were going to provoke Qiu Zhenyang were all stunned.
Zheng Xu hummed: “That’s nice, but who knows if you’re playing hard-to-get? Qiu Zhenyang, I warn you, although you are a junior, don’t you dare try to win Senior Li’s attention!”
Qiu Zhenyang’s lips hooked, as he smiled silently.
Zheng Xu was very unhappy with Qiu Zhenyang’s attitude, but knew a little about Qiu Zhenyang’s family background given the people in his family. This guy seems to be easy to deal with now, but if he uses his family’s relationship, he and his brothers will definitely be finished! If it weren’t for this concern, Zheng Xu wouldn’t be able to just find someone to block him.
“You’d better remember well for me, boy!” Zheng Xu stretched out his index finger and slapped the tip of Qiu Zhenyang’s tall nose, hummed twice, and left with his group of brothers.
“F*ck, who are you, daring to be so arrogant, I’ll get them back later.” Yuan Chenyu waved his fist irritably. If Qiu Zhenyang hadn’t talked like that, Zhuo Hang and him would have greeted them with a fist!
Instead, Zhuo Hang pressed Qiu Zhenyang’s shoulder and said with emotion: “Heroes from ancient times have been saddened by the Beauty Pass, Qiu Zhenyang, you have today, tsk tsk tsk.”
Qiu Zhenyang’s reputation in the capital used to be so great that almost no one dared to provoke him. , that is, here, dare to have people who don’t know enough to come up and provoke wantonly.
“Do you want to take revenge?” Zhuo Hang said with a smile, as if he was asking what to eat for dinner.
“No,” Qiu Zhenyang tugged Zhuo Hang’s arm down. “It’s not necessary.”
He didn’t pay attention to them at all. There’s no need to ruin his reputation because of a Li Zhen who had nothing to do. Besides, if he fought back, wouldn’t he be responding to Zheng Xu’s words and putting Li Zhen in his heart?
Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu looked at each other. They both felt that Qiu Zhenyang had changed a bit since coming to university, and was no longer so high-profile. But it’s a good thing, and they were also quite happy about it.
Since there was nothing else, Qiu Zhenyang bade farewell and headed back.
Back in the dormitory, after turning on the air conditioner and washing off, he went to the kitchen to start research. They finished all three dishes yesterday, and Qiu Zhenyang is going to make one more dessert today to see if Ling Mu likes it or not.
Today, Qiu Zhenyang stir-fried two kinds of vegetables and shredded pork together, and braised some fish. The soup was egg cauliflower soup with a similar vegetable and exotic animal eggs. The final dessert is a milk ice with fruit that was frozen in the morning, with a splash of nectar water to finish.
He is not a master chef and can only make some home-cooked dishes. But these dishes are already a hundred times better than the top dishes in the galaxy!
Ling Dang almost ran back with her brother. Since she ate the food that Qiu Zhenyang brought last night, she’s been dreaming about food all day, to the point of being distracted in class. After getting off the bus, she dragged Ling Mu and ran to the dormitory.
“Slow down, be careful not to trip.” Ling Mu frowned and reminded his sister.
But the little girl didn’t listen to him, running forward, and shouting: “I’m starving to death, I want to eat the food made by Brother Qiu!”
When the two returned, Qiu Zhenyang had just finished cooking. He stared blankly at Ling Dang, who was panting as she rushed to the kitchen. He wondered, “What’s the matter? Running so fast, what happened?”
Without waiting for Qiu Zhenyang, Ling Dang raised her head and shouted, “Brother Qiu, I want to eat!”
Qiu Zhenyang suddenly laughed, and reluctantly wiped his hands on the apron, squatted down and touched her head. “In such a hurry to eat? I’ve only finished a dish. Be good, go take a bath first. Don’t need to rush, we’ll wait for you to come back and eat together.”
Ling Dang felt at ease with Qiu Zhenyang’s words, nodded, and went upstairs obediently.
After putting down his sister’s schoolbag, Ling Mu rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen. “I’ll help.”
Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly stopped him. “Ah, don’t, no need. I just put the other two dishes on the stove; they only need to be taken out after a while. You can also go up and wash up.”
The dessert is still in progress, but he can’t let Ling Mu see it in advance, otherwise, how will it be a surprise later?
Ling Mu nodded without any doubts.
He half turned around, squeezing his own hands as he bit his lower lip and said in a low voice, “Thank you for what happened yesterday.”
Qiu Zhenyang laughed. “What thanks? It’s what I should do.”
He stepped forward, put both hands on Ling Mu’s shoulders, turned the awkward boy around, looked at him seriously and said, “Also, if you feel uncomfortable in the future, tell me. Even if I’m not there, you should call me. After all, I was the one who marked you. I have a responsibility to you, and you don’t need to feel embarrassed.”
