When he returned to the living room, Ling Mu was bringing out the fruit plate from the kitchen. When he saw Qiu Zhenyang, the plate in his hand fell and shattered on the ground.
“Stay away from me!”
Ling Mu raised his neckline and stepped back into the kitchen, frowning and raising his hand in resistance, as if to push something away.
The smell made him uncomfortable. In addition to the discomfort, he also clearly noticed a pheromone coming from another omega. Based on the current situation, it must be Le Jin’s.
Qiu Zhenyang was worried, and then remembered the matter of Le Jin releasing pheromones in front of him. He immediately regretted it, and hurriedly stepped back, shouting anxiously at Ling Dang in the living room: “Quick, see how your brother is doing!”
Ling Dang immediately ran over, supported her brother who was about to collapse on the ground, and hurriedly asked, “Brother, are you alright? Should Ling Dang help you go back to your room to rest?”
There is no cure for the sequelae. Even the doctors are helpless.
It can only be slowly healed by staying away from pheromones. Therefore, Ling Mu can only wait and adapt.
“Xiao Qing!” Qiu Zhenyang called out to Xiao Qing loudly. The latter was eating, and there were grains of rice hanging from the corners of her mouth as she responded. “Hurry up and help Ling Mu to the room. You help me watch and see if the situation improves.”
“I know, young master.” Xiao Qing had quick hands and feet, and her strength was strong as she half supported Ling Mu back to the room.
Qiu Zhenyang extremely regretted it now. Even if he was scolded by his grandparents for ignoring Le Jin, that outcome would be much better than the current situation!
Thinking back to Ling Mu’s dim and cold eyes before he headed upstairs, Qiu Zhenyang felt cold.
Obviously Ling Mu believed him so much! As a result, he made a mess! He really betrayed Mumu’s trust in him!
In just a few minutes, Qiu Zhenyang’s mind had already collapsed.
He went to the kitchen with a gloomy face, picking and choosing fruit in the fridge, but he couldn’t find anything that resembled durian. Then he went to the laundry room, but there was no such thing as a washboard. When he went to the study, he couldn’t find a keyboard either.1there’s a meme where someone kneels on a keyboard/durian/washboard – aka something spiky to apologize and admit their faults
“God is going to kill me!” he wailed.
After some tossing, he could only go to the door of Ling Mu’s room in dismay and knock on the door.
“Mumu, how are you? Are you feeling better?”
There was no response from the room.
“Mumu, I was wrong, he released the pheromones himself, I didn’t have time to dodge.”
The room was quiet.
“Mumu, I really didn’t do anything. If you don’t believe me, ask Uncle Zhang2raws said Zhang last chapter and Wang this chapter… Kept it Zhang for consistency, but if Wang crops up, they’re the same dude. Uncle Zhang was there, and he was watching!”
The room was completely silent.
Qiu Zhenyang wanted to cry but had no tears. Begging Ling Mu to respond again and again, he even started knocking on the door with his head.
“Tuk, Tuk, Tuk…”
In the end, Ling Mu didn’t come out, but Zhu Qin was bothered.
“Qiu Zhenyang, are you calling a ghost! Your skin is itchy, isn’t it?” Zhu Qin had a mask on her face and two cucumber slices in her hand staring angrily at Qiu Zhenyang who was standing a few rooms away in the corridor.
Qiu Zhenyang suddenly felt even more uncomfortable. “Mom, how can you treat me like this! Your daughter-in-law is angry with me. I have to coax him, what if he doesn’t want me anymore?”
“Useless!” Zhu Qin rolled her eyes, and flashed into the room. After a while, she leaned out from the door and threw a tube of reagents to Qiu Zhenyang.
The latter almost didn’t catch it, and looked at his mother speechlessly. “Mom, I’m not hungry. I don’t need you to give me nutritional supplements.”
Zhu Qin was about to be fooled to death by her own son. She really gave birth to such a stupid person?
“Are you stupid? Don’t you know about strong alpha inhibitors! Are you afraid of getting close to him with this thing?”
Qiu Zhenyang pursed his lips and recalled the effect of strong alpha inhibitors. “Mom, does this have side effects…”
Potent alpha inhibitors are different from the common estrus inhibitor. This inhibitor can directly block all traces of alpha pheromones temporarily. Even amongst a group of sensitive omegas, they’ll only think that an alpha is a beta.
However, such a powerful inhibitor has serious side effects. Qiu Zhenyang felt that he may have to lie in bed for a day tomorrow.
At this time, Zhu Qin threw another blockbuster: “Body is more important or wife is more important?”
Qiu Zhenyang gritted his teeth: “…wife!”
“Knowing this, go kneel.” Waving her hand gracefully, his mother closed the door with a bang.
After a second, the door opened again, and Qiu Zhenyang looked at it reluctantly.
“If you make more noise, I’ll call your dad home and let him take you to practice mecha all night!”
“Bang!” The door closed again.
Qiu Zhenyang: “…”
No doubt his mother!
With the assistance of his mother, Qiu Zhenyang injected the powerful inhibitor into his gland. Gritting his teeth, he unscrewed the door handle of Ling Mu’s room!
“Mumu! I…” The voice came to an abrupt end, Qiu Zhenyang stared blankly at Ling Mu, who was sitting on the sofa with a towel around his waist.
He had obviously just come out of the bathroom, and his short, stiff hair was still wet. Qiu Zhenyang’s gaze fell from his cheeks that were steamed red by the heat, to his fair and delicate collarbone, pink and small blushing, slender and strong waist, and a large area of supple, tender white legs were exposed because his right leg rested on the left.
Qiu Zhenyang’s nose became hot.
He had a nosebleed.
Ling Mu: “…”
“Uh, so you were taking a shower just now. I thought you were ignoring me on purpose.” Qiu Zhenyang hurriedly closed the door, eyes dodging as he pulled a tissue to wipe his nose.
Ling Mu raised his eyebrows to look at him, moved his nose, and said in a bewildered tone: “Why can’t I smell pheromones on you?”
Putting the tissue next to the sofa, the distance between them shortened as Qiu Zhenyang came over, but he didn’t react at all. Even if he cleaned up Le Jin’s pheromone, he couldn’t smell any of Qiu Zhenyang’s own pheromones at all. What’s going on?
“Really can’t smell it?” Qiu Zhenyang grinned and rushed towards Ling Mu on the sofa.
“F*ck, Qiu Zhenyang, what are you doing? Stay away from me!” Ling Mu hurriedly tried to push, but he couldn’t resist Qiu Zhenyang’s strength, and was thrown down on the sofa.
Qiu Zhenyang pressed Ling Mu under his body and looked at him from above, his eyes gradually getting wrong.
It’s really been several days since then, and Qiu Zhenyang’s eyes were red from hunger and thirst.
The two have clearly confirmed their relationship, but the way they get along is still much the same as before. Mainly because the timing was really too ‘good’. Ling Mu was recovering, so he could only endure it!
“Are you uncomfortable? I’ve taken a strong inhibitor, so I can stay with you for a while.” Qiu Zhenyang’s voice was a little hoarse, and he couldn’t wait to kiss Ling Mu. The touch of lips and teeth was surprisingly good, Qiu Zhenyang felt so comfortable that his scalp was numb, and his breathing suddenly became heavy.
Poor Ling Mu didn’t have time to say a word, and was kissed and his eyes blurred.
His hand that was pushing back gradually loosened, and he naturally found Qiu Zhenyang’s neck to wrap it around, accepting the fiery kiss from above.
Ling Mu didn’t wear a shirt, which made it easier for Qiu Zhenyang’s hands to roam around his body, stroking every bit of smooth skin. His action was not small, but he deliberately restrained it, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, more like a kind of provocation, which stoked the fire in Ling Mu’s heart to burn vigorously.
The two were kissing and touching on the sofa. When the two opened their eyes mid-breath, Ling Mu looked up and felt nervous.
It’s over, this guy’s eyes are red!
Although the two of them have done a lot of inappropriate things, they haven’t done it with real swords. Besides, now that he is in Qiu’s house, Qiu Zhenyang really won’t want to do something crazy, would he?
Ling Mu was instantly frightened by this thought, and he raised his foot and kicked Qiu Zhenyang.
“Why are you kicking me, let’s continue…” After speaking, he wanted to bury his head and kiss him again.
“Wait, wait!” Ling Mu desperately put his hand on his strong shoulder to block him. “Could it be that you came in with a powerful inhibitor to do this kind of thing?”
Qiu Zhenyang blinked: “Of course not, but it’s still the most important thing. Let’s kiss…”
“Tsk, Qiu Zhenyang, get up for me!”
In the end, with Ling Mu’s strong insistence, Qiu Zhenyang could only sit on the sofa depressedly, looking at the person beside him with desire and dissatisfaction.
“Go out if you don’t have anything else, I’m going to sleep.” Ling Mu said firmly, but his flushed face was not convincing. He also moved his buttocks and sorted out the crumpled bath towel. That damn Qiu Zhenyang’s eyes are sticking to his leg!
Seeing Ling Mu’s actions, Qiu Zhenyang looked away regretfully, and finally remembered the purpose of his entry.
“I came to apologize to you. I shouldn’t have let Le Jin get pheromones on me. It’s my fault.”
Although Qiu Zhenyang had never been in a relationship before, he always felt that admitting one’s fault when they’re wrong is the best solution in a healthy relationship. The other party may act generously, but are actually angry. It’s better not to act fearlessly on this good faith, otherwise things will definitely not work out in the long run.
After all, trust is mutual, and both parties need to maintain it together.
He wants to marry Ling Mu and be with him for the rest of his life, meaning that maintaining this thing call ‘trust’ is crucial.
Ling Mu turned his head to look at him, did not speak, and just listened.
Facing his scrutiny, Qiu Zhenyang became inexplicably nervous. “I brought Uncle Zhang with me, and he watched from the side. Nothing really happened between us!”
Ling Mu raised his eyebrows, still saying nothing.
Qiu Zhenyang was a little flustered, and roared in a hurry: “I can only get hard for you!”
His voice was so loud that it could still be heard clearly in the corridor with superior sound insulation.
Ling Mu: “…”
A minute later, Qiu Zhenyang pressed his hands and feet against the door and confessed his mistakes. “Ah, I said something wrong, don’t be like this, Mumu, give me another chance. Why did you drive me away so early at night?”
“F*ck early, go to bed!” Ling Mu was really convinced, this guy couldn’t spit out ivory!
“Don’t, let’s talk again, I probably won’t be able to get up tomorrow.” Qiu Zhenyang wanted to cry. He used such a powerful inhibitor, but didn’t do anything. Isn’t this a waste! Tomorrow, not only will his pheromones be restored, but he won’t be able to approach Ling Mu, and also suffer the after effects…
Ling Mu didn’t care about him, and stepped directly on Qiu Zhenyang’s foot that was stuck in the door jam. When it retracted with a scream, he quickly closed the door and locked it neatly.
Qiu Zhenyang: “…”
Why is he so miserable?
QZY shot himself in the foot this time. Had he not provoked Mumu, he might have been fine.
