Chapter 56 Question and Answer "Are you sure you can accept me like this?"...

Although he had a premonition, Ji Mingxue's mind still went blank for a moment when he heard Shen Qingzhu's affirmative answer.

At that moment, the world seemed quiet.

Ji Mingxue could clearly hear her own deafening heartbeat.

Shen Qingzhu was not much better than him at this moment, his chest was also heaving violently.

Noticing Ji Mingxue was silent, Shen Qingzhu finally opened his slightly hot eyes and looked to the side.

Upon seeing this, Shen Qingzhu realized that Ji Mingxue was stunned.

He had been so bold just now, proud and provocative when he confessed to him, but now he was like a kitten with fate pinching the scruff of the neck, frozen in place without moving.

Shen Qingzhu was immediately amused by him. Her tense body and heart gradually relaxed. She chuckled and said, "Ji Mingxue, come back to your senses."

Ji Mingxue then shuddered slightly and focused her gaze on Shen Qingzhu's smiling face. In an instant, her face turned red.

For some reason, even though he was the one who took the initiative and confessed his feelings forcefully, Ji Mingxue felt as if his whole body was burning and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

but.

He looked at Shen Qingzhu's slightly flushed face with scrutiny.

Although there was still a hint of tenderness that touched people's hearts in those beautiful emerald green eyes, there was no overly passionate emotion.

This was not at all the way to look at someone you liked.

Ji Mingxue's heart suddenly turned cold, and the heat on her face gradually faded, but she still stared at the person in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Shen Qingzhu, are you going to... reject me?"

Ji Mingxue said this with great difficulty and full of uncertainty.

He is such a dazzling and confident person, but he can also have such uneasy moments.

Shen Qingzhu felt a little bit of pity and heartache when seeing this.

Not wanting to see Ji Mingxue like this, Shen Qingzhu quickly said what was in his mind, "Besides liking and rejecting, do I have a third choice?"

Ji Mingxue was startled, and then she heard Shen Qingzhu slowly say, "Ji Mingxue, I think you should be able to see it."

"To me, you're different."

Ji Mingxue's eyes suddenly lit up, as if the sun was lit.

Shen Qingzhu smiled shyly and continued, "Listen to me first."

Seeing that Shen Qingzhu was ready to have a long talk, Ji Mingxue also sat upright, looking at Shen Qingzhu with sparkling eyes, "You go ahead."

Only then did Shen Qingzhu carefully speak out the question he had been thinking about all night yesterday.

"You said you like me, what do you want to do with me?"

"Do you want to be my lover? Or do you just want to have a casual relationship with me?"

"After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon."

To be precise, for the imperial people whose average life expectancy is 200 years, it is not uncommon for Beta and Alpha, except Omegas, to have several, dozens, or even hundreds of lovers in their lifetime.

Even among Beta and Alpha, many people maintain intimate relationships with N people at the same time, which is an open romantic relationship.

Therefore, Shen Qingzhu needs to first determine, "What is your view on love, one-to-one or one-to-many?"

Do you want to have a serious relationship with him alone, or do you just want to have fun with him?

Although Ji Mingxue is an Omega, and Omegas are always much more cautious about love and mate selection than A and B, there are also Omegas like Mia who regard Alphas as "clothes".

Shen Qingzhu must first clarify this point.

Ji Mingxue: ...

For some reason, after hearing Shen Qingzhu's question, Ji Mingxue suddenly felt like she was in an examination room.

But in the past, no matter what test questions Ji Mingxue faced, she was always at ease, but at this moment, she felt unusually nervous.

And to be honest, Ji Mingxue had never really thought about the questions asked by Shen Qingzhu before.

But he still knew the answer.

With his hands on his knees, Ji Mingxue said to Shen Qingzhu seriously, "When I said I like you, I naturally want to be with you and have a good relationship with you."

"As for my view on love," Ji Mingxue tilted her head slightly and chuckled, "Judging from the fact that I was jealous of Mia today, it seems that I have a strong possessiveness. I can't accept that my lover has other people he likes."

"Also," thinking of his father Ji Wushuang, Ji Mingxue said to Shen Qingzhu seriously, "I really value whether my lover is loyal to me."

"So, I can only accept the one-on-one relationship model."

"Of course, I will remain faithful to my lover."

"The answer is complete."

For some reason, Shen Qingzhu was suddenly touched by Ji Mingxue's cuteness, because Ji Mingxue really seemed to be answering the examiner's question, and even added a sentence at the end: "Answer completed."

Lowering his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes, Shen Qingzhu nodded and said frankly, "I am the same. I can only accept a one-on-one relationship."

Having said that, Ji Mingxue actually had some understanding of what Shen Qingzhu was doing.

It turned out that Shen Qingzhu had already considered so many things without him knowing.

Ji Mingxue asked Shen Qingzhu with interest, "Any other questions?"

Shen Qingzhu looked at him with a smile, "There's more."

Ji Mingxue: "Tell me about it."

Shen Qingzhu said carefully, "The next question will be a little sensitive. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to."

Ji Mingxue suddenly felt a little curious.

Then Shen Qingzhu said in a gentle voice, "If you really enter into a relationship, what kind of relationship do you want to maintain with your lover?"

"Is it the Platonic style, which is a simple exchange of ideas, or the Freudian style, which seeks the unity of body and soul?"

Ji Mingxue: ...

Well, this topic is indeed a bit sensitive.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to discuss such things with the person she liked, Ji Mingxue still expressed her thoughts frankly.

“I don’t think I’ve ever thought about this.”

Although Ji Mingxue had always been proactive and bold when facing Shen Qingzhu, and always let herself go on her Xingbo account, and even had some messy dreams, to be honest, before hearing Shen Qingzhu's question, Ji Mingxue had never considered what their relationship would be like once they were really together with Shen Qingzhu.

Because Shen Qingzhu is so clean.

In his eyes, Ji Mingxue had never seen the dirty, aggressive look like that of other Alphas.

But Ji Mingxue had heard of Platonic love to some extent. After all, modern human beings are full of yearning for everything in the ancient Earth era.

So Ji Mingxue knew very well that Platonic love meant that there would be no physical communication with the lover.

He looked at Shen Qingzhu.

Although he is an Alpha, Shen Qingzhu always dresses conservatively and rarely exposes large areas of skin. His collar is always buttoned to the top button. Although his temperament is as gentle as a herbivorous animal, he is paradoxically full of an alluring abstinence.

When people look at him... they just want to rip open his tightly-fitting collar, making him look completely different from his usual disheveled look, making him look a mess.

Ji Mingxue: ...

Ahhhhh!!! What on earth is he thinking about?!!! Stop thinking!!!

His face instantly turned red, and his throat became dry and itchy.

Ji Mingxue quickly poured herself a cup of tea, trying to clear her suddenly changing mind.

But Shen Qingzhu was still waiting for his answer.

Ji Mingxue could only swallow the water awkwardly while mumbling vaguely, "...It should be the latter."

Who can resist being Plato with Shen Qingzhu?!

Does Shen Qingzhu know how charming she is? !

Ji Mingxue's red cheeks were too obvious. No one knew what she was thinking about, but Shen Qingzhu couldn't help but blush as well.

After getting Ji Mingxue's answer, Shen Qingzhu also thought about it and found that he did not seem to reject Freud's love of the unity of body and soul.

But I have to say, just thinking of the four words "unity of soul and flesh", Shen Qingzhu felt a burning sensation in his heart, and he couldn't imagine what it would be like when it really came to that.

But there is a very realistic problem facing them.

"Ji Mingxue, you are an Omega."

This was the first time Shen Qingzhu emphasized the other person's gender in front of Ji Mingxue.

"Do you really know what an Omega will face in an intimate relationship?"

Ji Mingxue was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of confusion on her pretty face.

When Shen Qingzhu saw this, he immediately understood that Ji Mingxue had never seriously considered this issue.

But Shen Qingzhu had seen too many Omegas hurt by intimate relationships before.

Then he said to Ji Mingxue carefully, "Once an Omega enters into an intimate relationship with an Alpha, it is very likely that the Omega will be affected by the other's pheromones and enter a fever period at an unconventional time."

"They may also be temporarily or permanently marked by the Alpha."

"After being marked, the Omega will become dependent on the Alpha's pheromones, and may even become overly frustrated and depressed due to the Alpha's long absence, and may exhibit nesting behaviors."

"It would make the Omega completely unlike himself."

"Do you know all this?"

Ji Mingxue certainly knew this, because he had learned all this in physiology class.

But to be honest, before this, Ji Mingxue had never applied the phenomena that occurred in Omegas in physiology courses to herself.

Ji Mingxue was born into a noble family and had a strong personality. Even after becoming an Omega, he always acted superior and never bowed to anyone.

Before meeting Shen Qingzhu, Ji Mingxue had never thought that one day she would fall in love with an Alpha and even actively pursue him.

Shen Qingzhu asked him if he knew what would happen if he fell in love with an Alpha.

Ji Mingxue thought about it seriously and concluded that temporary marking could be achieved by kissing or biting the gland on the back of the neck.

As for kissing, he should have no problem.

As for being bitten on the gland at the back of the neck, he has never experienced this before, but he has only heard that it would make one feel weak all over and as if being controlled by someone.

Being controlled by others is a word that has never appeared in Ji Mingxue's life.

but.

He glanced at Shen Qingzhu, who had a serious expression on his face, and could clearly sense the deep worry in the other's eyes.

Concern about Ji Mingxue.

Ji Mingxue suddenly laughed and thought that Shen Qingzhu was indeed a very interesting Alpha.

"Shen Qingzhu, are you worried about me?"

He asked with interest.

Shen Qingzhu did not deny it, but just pursed her lips uncomfortably.

Ji Mingxue's smile suddenly became brighter, and her heart felt warm, soft, and sweet. "So you have secretly considered things so far in the future~."

Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Shen Qingzhu looked at him helplessly. While her ears felt slightly hot, she couldn't help laughing.

But he still couldn't help but remind Ji Mingxue, "You have to protect yourself."

Ji Mingxue was touched by his sweetness again, and felt like her whole heart was filled with marshmallows.

But he could hear the seriousness in Shen Qingzhu's words, so he just nodded obediently.

But in fact, when Ji Mingxue heard this, she had already heard something else.

He tilted his head and smiled at Shen Qingzhu, and whispered, "Shen Qingzhu, what you are really worried about is that you might hurt me, right?"

This is indeed what Shen Qingzhu is most worried about.

Shen Qingzhu did not hide it and just nodded slightly.

Ji Mingxue's heart felt like it was shot by an arrow, burning hot, and she couldn't help but whispered, "But you only make me like you more when you do this."

He looked at Shen Qingzhu with joy, his bright golden eyes filled with undisguised enthusiasm and admiration.

Shen Qingzhu also felt warmed in his heart when he saw this.

Ji Mingxue continued, "Don't worry, I have learned all the things you mentioned in physiology class."

"But to be honest, I haven't really thought about what's going to happen that far in the future."

"People can't always live in worry about the future."

"I am also very sure that no matter what happens in the future, whether we are together or apart, I will not regret my current choice and decision."

Shen Qingzhu likes Ji Mingxue's unrestrained and free-spirited nature the most.

Seeing Ji Mingxue so confident, Shen Qingzhu did not continue to dwell on this issue. After all, no one was sure what would happen in the future, so he could only take it one step at a time.

But, "Now that you have finished talking about your business, let me talk about mine."

Ji Mingxue: “Hmm?”

Since Shen Qingzhu has decided to be frank, he will naturally learn to be as brave and honest as Ji Mingxue.

He stretched out his hand tightly wrapped in snow-white gloves and whispered to Ji Mingxue, "I think you should have noticed that I always wear gloves when I go out."

Ji Mingxue had indeed been curious about this matter for a long time. He had even looked up a lot of information in this regard and had many speculations in his mind.

He carefully observed Shen Qingzhu's expression and found that he didn't seem to be too emotional. But even so, Ji Mingxue still lowered his voice cautiously and asked carefully, "So, why do you always wear gloves?"

Shen Qingzhu thought for a moment, "On the one hand, it's because of my childhood experiences that I rarely have physical contact with others."

"On the other hand, I often spend time in the lab, and wearing gloves can protect my hands."

"Also, wearing gloves can prevent me from accidentally touching something that might hurt me."

For example, the eldest prince and some dogs A once put drugs on some daily necessities.

Shen Qingzhu lowered his eyes and looked at his tightly wrapped hands. "This is one of my ways to protect myself. I'm used to its existence, and I'm also used to never getting too close to anyone."

"So, Ji Mingxue, I'm not sure if I can still have any physical contact with others, and I'm even less sure if I can really enter into an intimate relationship with someone."

"Are you sure you can accept me like this?"
