Chapter 74 Heart pounding

Xie Xingchen turned his head to look at him, a slight smile playing on his lips: "You're so excited about sleeping with me?"

"Xie the Fool." Lin Yao called its name, reached out and pinched its round belly, threatening, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear you apart."

Xie Xingchen offered a popular science warning: "If he punches you, Xie Daidai, you will be violently dismantled until there are no fragments left."

See? You can tell how close or distant someone is just by how they address you.

Xie Dai felt wronged and waved his little wings loudly to prove, "I can't be wrong! I just speak my mind, but I would never lie! My programming doesn't allow me to lie!"

Lin Yao looked at him calmly.

How could I possibly die of pleasure just because I'm going to sleep with Xie Xingchen? I'm clearly worried about my mind going haywire and me talking in my sleep.

“Your program is terrible, and the analysis is flawed,” Lin Yao said ruthlessly. “No wonder you can’t fly after hitting your head, your cerebellum is atrophied, and you’re lazy with your limbs.”

Xie Dai: !!! !!! !!! !!!

In those three glorious years, I had never suffered such verbal humiliation.

He used his wings to cover his eyes, struggled to break free from Lin Yao's grasp, and then slowly crawled over to grab Xie Xingchen's clothes.

"You old man..."

My wife didn't dare say anything, afraid of getting beaten up.

"He's so mean, he yelled at me, waaaaaaah!"

Xie Xingchen exclaimed in astonishment: "Lin, are you bullying a bird?"

Lin Yao thought to himself that this guy was too good at pretending, changing his personality every second. He said calmly, "I'm just telling him the truth. If you insist on taking his side, then there's nothing I can do."

Xie Dai stood tall and proud.

This will soon be a two-way training process between the owner and the pet; you can't do whatever you want just because you're the owner.

"No, I'm on your side." Xie Xingchen bent down regretfully, picked up Xie Dai and carried her out, placing her on the side of the nearly broken door. "Because you upset him, you have to sleep here, Xie Dai. I'm sorry."

Xie Dai: ? ? ? ? ?

Sorry? How can your 37-degree mouth say such cold words?

He calls Xie Daidai affectionately on the surface, but his actions are vicious.

Xie Dai squatted outside the creaking wooden door, feeling the sea breeze, and looked very melancholy.

It seems it chose the wrong owner; this home has no place for it.

But the system was already bound to it, and there was nowhere else to go but to pitifully peer through that small window.

"Alas, life is tough for birds," Xie Dai sighed.

Lin Yao looked genuinely exhausted, perhaps tormented by stress. Wrapped in a loose team uniform jacket, he lay on his side with his eyes closed, having fallen into a deep sleep again. Xie Xingchen, lying next to him, was also half-lying on his side, his arm outstretched, using him as a pillow.

I understand. If I want to stay in this family, I have to please Lin Yao.

Xie Dai sighed again, limped out, and spent several hours bringing back a large pile of pink berries from the nearby forest.

Then, as if presenting a treasure, it circled around Lin Yao and Xie Xingchen.

Then he took Xie Xingchen's phone, snapped a picture, and waited happily for praise.

Lin Yao slept on and off for a while, and finally felt the heat in his body subside temporarily. When he opened his eyes, he saw that silly bird hugging the screen and swaying back and forth.

"Do you like it? Do you like it? Do you like it?" Xie Dai twisted and turned. "I specially arranged this for you."

Lin Yao lowered his eyes to look at the photo.

They lay upright, surrounded by pink accents, making it seem as if they were being buried together.

Too lazy to complain, he reached out and covered Xie Dai's mouth, carefully getting up, afraid of waking the person still sleeping next to him.

Despite the very slight noise, Xie Xingchen remained alert. He opened his eyes and glanced at the two of them for a moment, then propped himself up to sit up. Seeing the circle of pink fruit beside him, he remarked, "Are you two burying me?"

Xie Dai: "......."

“See? I also think it looks like a funeral.” Lin Yao handed over his phone, completely oblivious to the fact that he was forming a clique. “It even took a picture of us together and cursed us to die.”

Seeing the two of them on the same side, Xie Dai's eyes widened: "Don't accuse me, you bastard! Wasn't I trying to create romance for you two? I worked so hard to carry so many fruits, and I'm lame and can't even fly. Don't you have any conscience?!"

Upon seeing the group photo, Xie Xingchen instantly forgave the wreath-like arrangement and accepted the photo, saying, "It looks quite nice. I'll set it as my screensaver before my phone runs out of battery."

"Your aesthetic sense is truly bizarre." Lin Yao turned his head and looked at the fat bird that was eagerly waiting for praise. "Don't do it again next time. If your leg is lame, just take good care of it."

I can tell, this is an attempt to give someone a way out, which is not easy.

Xie's eyes sparkled, and she quickly made a big heart shape with her wings: "When I can fly, I'll go to Wishing Island and get you the highest grade wishing gem, which can grant any wish."

Lin Yao paused for a few seconds, actually seriously considering the possibility, and then found it funny—could this Wishing Island really turn him back into an Alpha from an Omega?

Obviously not.

“There’s no such thing as a gem that can grant every wish. Did you grow up watching cartoons in a lab?” He paused, then added, “It was just a deserted island with nothing on it.”

“It really is.” Xie Dai insisted, placing his wings on his pulse, and said bluntly, “Moreover, based on your reaction, you actually want it, you really want it. If you want it, just say it, what’s wrong with that?”

"I don't want to. It's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help." Lin Yao gave a slight twitch of his lips.

Xie Xingchen observed his expression: "Don't want to?"

“I don’t even believe in Santa Claus, but I do.” He got up and put his clothes back on. “Come on, take me to the lab.”

More than those vague fantasies, he wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible.

While listening to their conversation, Xie Xingchen put back on the jacket Lin Yao had changed out of, and followed them out. The two of them and the bird walked on the rose-red sand towards their destination.

As Xie Dai had mentioned before, the laboratory was a magnificent twenty-story building, visible from afar. From the outside, it looked no different from any other building belonging to a powerful conglomerate on the capital planet.

The exterior wall is just a mirror, without any name or markings.

“You can sneak in through the back door of the underground parking lot,” Xie Dai said in a low voice. “The fat security guard there slacks off every day, that’s when I escaped.”

From the moment Lin Yao stepped into the building, he felt a sense of familiarity.

It felt like returning to the place where he grew up. The appearance and layout were different, but the smell was similar, making him feel as if the air in his chest had been sucked out.

"Feeling unwell?" Xie Xingchen noticed that his breathing had become rapid.

"It's alright." Lin Yao observed the divided cubicles, which on the surface all appeared to be legitimate experiments, but this method of searching was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just as she was about to turn around, Xie Xingchen suddenly grabbed her and dragged her behind a narrow corner.

He turned around and saw an unexpected person getting out of a car in the parking lot—Zhuang Lang, the person in charge of Langzhuang.

"What's he doing here?" Lin Yao muttered to himself. "A buyer? Or a shareholder?"

Langzhuang does indeed have many novelties for the wealthy to enjoy, so it makes sense to say that they are buyers or middlemen.

Xie Xingchen covered his mouth and whispered, "Don't make a sound."

Lin Yao stared in Zhuang Lang's direction, trying to read something from his lips as he made the phone call, but after three minutes, he got nothing.

So she loosened her grip and realized that Xie Xingchen was holding her in his arms, his broad hands covering her face.

Lin Yao blinked slowly.

Suddenly, he recalled that night in the quarantine area, when Xie Xingchen hugged him from behind, covered his lips to help him, and even lowered his head to kiss his shoulder to satisfy his craving.

...An Omega in his sensitive period has nothing but...he despises himself.

"Let go." Lin Yao closed his eyes briefly, not daring to make any big noise, and could only gently bite his palm to signal him.

Xie Xingchen held him even tighter, lowered his head and said, "Don't move, or you'll be in trouble if we're found out."

His voice was very soft, a whisper close to his earlobe, so soft that it was almost a breath.

Lin Yao's head was forced to tilt back and rest on his shoulder as he wondered whether it was hormones at work or just because of this simple back hug.

My heart is pounding.

Xie Xingchen felt the warmth under his palm and looked down at him.

"It's so hot, why is my fever starting again?"

Xie Dai was held tightly in Lin Yao's hand, almost crushed, and managed to utter, "He... is... being... horny..."
