Chapter 57: 300 Overlord Tickets (Two-in-One) What has changed...

[Warning: This chapter contains a real knife! !]

The hand that once could carry the sniper rifle steadily and run around, just by being pushed lightly, fell down weakly.

Zhu Fu Jingguang half-lowered his eyes and smiled.

He has never been a fragile person, but no matter how tough a person is, he cannot calmly bear the constant and firm rejection of his loved one.

The omega's instinct was clamoring for comfort, both physically and psychologically. Suddenly leaving the body temperature and pheromones that he loved most, he immediately felt so aggrieved that his nose began to feel sore.

1207 didn't expect that Furuya Rei would be so cruel to refuse. He finally realized that he was putting the host on the fire. He was struggling to persuade Zhufu Jingguang to try harder, but he softened his heart after feeling that Zhufu Jingguang was on the verge of collapse.

Finally, it gritted its teeth and said, "I was wrong this time, but the order cannot be reversed. Your body is special. Even if a normal omega goes into heat without using inhibitors and being temporarily marked, it will still cause irreparable damage to its body. You can't just resist. Scotland is quite popular in the organization... If all else fails, find someone you can tolerate to get through the heat first."

Zhu Fushigami's rationality had been burned out by the heat, and he was completely unable to react when he heard these passionate remarks from the system that originally insisted on being a pure love party. He only caught the key word "resistance".

...It's just a mating season...If it won't kill you, then just endure it.

The aroma of coffee was so strong that Zhu Fujingguang had to use all his strength to restrain himself from approaching Furuya Ling. He raised his hands with difficulty and gestured: "Just find a hotel to drop me off and leave."

He prayed that his tiny sign language would be noticed by Furuya Zero.

A sudden brake proved that Furuya Rei not only noticed it but also immediately realized what he was saying.

His weak body leaned forward due to inertia, but was pressed back by the seat belt. The young man with cat eyes subconsciously looked out the window, but there was no hotel as he had imagined.

Could it be that Fūya Rei no longer wants to stay with me for even a moment?

Thinking of this, Zhu Fujingguang heard the voice of Furuya Ling: "You have already decided who to ask to help you solve it, right?"

Completely unable to understand what this person was saying, Zhu Fu Jingguang turned around and looked, only to meet a pair of captivating eyes.

Regardless of his identity, he had never seen such an expression in Fūya Rei's eyes. He was staring at him, with some strange emotion in his eyes that was so strong that it made his heart palpitate and was extremely aggressive.

Not getting an answer, Fūya Ling smiled. He unbuckled his seat belt and leaned his upper body slightly forward towards Zhufu Jingguang. The smell of coffee almost enveloped Zhufu Jingguang's entire body, as if he was not the one who pushed Zhufu Jingguang away just now.

"Scotland has good relationships, Mezcal? That guy can't make it that fast... So, is it Ley?"

What is zero talking about?

His brain, which was about to turn into a paste, was unable to quickly understand what Fōtani Rei didn't say directly. Zhu Fushigami felt even more burned by the coffee pheromones that hit his face, but he still remembered Fōtani Rei's determination when he pushed him away just now, so he subconsciously leaned back.

Perhaps this action and Morobushi Kagemitsu's silence caused Fūya Rei to misunderstand something. His expression became noticeably irritated, with anger and grievance mixed in his eyes. However, the smile at the corner of his lips became more and more obvious, like a blade soaked in honey. "Is it really Lei?"

Such aggressiveness was a little too much for Zhufu Jingguang to bear. He finally realized that if he didn't figure out what Furuya Ling was talking about at this moment, he might not even be able to meet such a simple request of "going to the hotel alone to endure the estrus period".

Then the pitifully small sign language finally appeared again: "What's this about Lei Yi?"

"Are you still trying to hide this at this point?" Bourbon's expression slowly appeared on Rei Furuya's face. "That's right, you didn't tell Lei the last time you saw him—but every time you see him, you come back reeking of cigarettes. Who do you think you can hide this from?"

As Jyougu Rei spoke, the intensity of the coffee flavor continued to increase.

I can’t stand it anymore... Zhu Fujingguang stretched out his hand, originally wanting to put it on Furuya Rei’s shoulder, but because the other party moved his body again, his palm happened to press on Furuya Rei’s bolo tie.

The round dark blue gem fits the curve of the palm, bringing a hint of comfortable coolness, which makes Zhu Fu Jingguang pause when he was about to push his hand away.

His index finger unconsciously hooked around the bolo tie, and the cat-eyed young man hastily released his grip when he realized what he was doing.

But it was too late—

Someone bent down and kissed him.

*

The receptionist was yawning.

She watched TV series a little late last night and felt a little tired today, but the location of this hotel is not good. It is not in the city center and is some distance away from the airport. The flow of customers here will only increase when the hotels near the airport are in short supply. There will be no guests coming at this time at other times.

Just as she was thinking about whether to take a nap, the hotel's automatic door opened because it sensed someone approaching.

A blond, dark-skinned young man walked in holding a black-haired, cat-eyed young man. Both of them were obviously dressed appropriately, but that expression and atmosphere... just one glance and the receptionist felt her face burning.

She was hesitating whether to ask the seemingly foreign blond youth in English—the black-haired youth was gently rubbing his forehead against the blond youth's neck—when she heard him speak in fluent Japanese: "Please prepare a pheromone isolation room for us with the best privacy."

Pheromone isolation rooms are special room types that are available in hotels of a certain size. Some materials that isolate pheromones are added during decoration. They are specially used for omegas to get through the estrus period or alphas to get through the susceptible period. The price is much more expensive than ordinary room types, but the corresponding services will also keep up.

As soon as these words were spoken, the receptionist immediately understood what had happened. As a Beta, she could not smell pheromones, so she checked the two people in as quickly as possible. But even in such a short time, she inadvertently saw the blond young man's hand rubbing the black-haired young man's waist, and his eyes vaguely swept across the back of the black-haired young man's neck, where the gland was.

The receptionist silently quickened her pace and personally led them up to the pheromone isolation room on the top floor via a special elevator. "At mealtimes, staff will place meals in the compartment outside your room. If you have any needs, please call the front desk directly from the room phone."

Before she could finish her words, the door closed in front of her.

The receptionist: “…” Forget it, I won’t bother with the young couple during their special period, not to mention that this couple looks better than the leading actors in last night’s TV series.

Something heavy was pressed against the door panel at the moment it closed, but the soft insulating material not only absorbed the sudden sound, but also prevented the person pressed against the door panel from feeling any pain.

So when the half-comforting, half-possessive kiss fell on his lips and cheeks, the confusion in his already unclear cat eyes became even greater.

Why did Zero kiss him... The pain of being rejected still lingered in his heart. The fragmented memories made Zhu Fujingguang only remember the kiss that was given to him in the car just now without any explanation. He was not as green as the Bourbon who was good at dancing with long sleeves in the organization, but the possession and anger coming from his lips were frightening.

But his pheromones seemed to spontaneously understand something and rubbed against its favorite coffee affectionately.

The originally refreshing and sweet grape oolong began to become sweet and sticky, emanating from the glands that were so thirsty that they were painful and swollen.

The hair on the back of his neck was lifted up by a dark-skinned hand, and the most familiar voice sounded in Zhu Fu Jingguang's ears: "If you haven't been temporarily marked before, it will be a little painful."

The skin was pierced, and the sources of coffee and grape oolong, which were several times more concentrated than in the air, merged together. A wonderful sense of fusion came over them, and both of them felt so comfortable that they hummed from their noses.

Finally, his whole body was truly enveloped by the smell of coffee, and the cat-eyed young man tightened his hands on Fūya Rei's back.

The moment Jōgu Ryo's lips left his gland, Zhufu Jingguang's brain finally regained some clarity.

But before he had time to think that it was just a temporary mark and why he had to leave the car and come to the hotel, the heat that was several times more terrifying than before swept through his body at a faster speed.

The soreness in his waist and legs made Zhu Fu Jingguang slide down weakly. In a great panic, he was hugged by another person. He clung to the driftwood in front of him like a drowning man.

The heat in his eyes surged, and the cat's eyes closed instinctively, and his black hair fell on his chest.

"Isn't this how temporary markings are done? The information we just found should be correct..." Such puzzled murmurs were heard, and the neatly buttoned sleeves were rubbed open at some point, revealing a tight, dark-skinned arm.

While Fūya Rei held Morobushi Kagemitsu with one hand, he picked up his mobile phone with the other hand with some uncertainty, wanting to check something, but his lips unconsciously kissed the gland that he had just left.

As a result, the phone screen had not lit up for a few seconds before it fell onto the equally soft carpet due to the action of another person.

This room, with no lights on and windows covered by thick red velvet curtains, lost its last rays of light.

Zhu Fujingguang finally lost his mind completely when he heard 1207's voice: "You just took too long, the most common temporary mark can no longer solve the problem."

The hand on his waist ultimately failed to push him away.

A fire spread through the room, devouring the two people inside.

At the moment when the fire was at its most intense, the cat's eyes, shining with water, opened because of the words of the person on it: "If only I could be more cruel at that time."

"Furotani Rei's favorability -85." 1207 was blocked due to the special scene. At this time, the cold machine prompt sounded, which seemed to merge with the previous voice that was still full of passion.

A drop of water slid down, but before it fell into the fire, it was evaporated in mid-air by the soul-burning temperature, leaving no trace of water.

Everything, like this drop of water, was burned in this fire.

Until only a handful of ashes remained that could barely be held in both hands.

*

My stomach aches as if it's burning.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was awakened by the unbearable pain. When he opened his eyes, he still saw darkness and could not tell whether it was day or night.

The person beside him was huddled in the quilt, with only a golden head visible. His cat eyes, slowly adapting to the darkness, could see that even in his sleep, the other person's brows were still furrowed.

...Does my existence really bother you so much, Zero?

The slender fingers were about to touch the other person's eyebrows, but they were retracted.

Zhu Fu Jingguang simply got out of bed. Only then did he realize that although his body was very tired, it was very dry and he was also wearing unfamiliar but comfortable pajamas.

After looking around, he walked towards the compartment near the door.

Zhu Fu Jingguang originally made no noise when he walked, and now that he was stepping on the thick carpet, even the last bit of sound was swallowed up.

The staff had already delivered the meals, which were left alone in a compartment outside the door, and no one thought to pick them up.

There were two single sofas here, separated from the bed by a movable partition. Zhu Fujingguang sat on the sofa by the window and gently lifted a corner of the heavy curtains. Colorful neon lights came into view, and he could vaguely see the time on the clock tower-shaped building in the distance.

1:30 in the morning.

Most of the day passed just like that.

The aroma of grape oolong in the room was no longer as strong, lazily returning to its original refreshing and sweet state, but Zhu Fu Jingguang could not tell whether the aroma of coffee in the room had also decreased accordingly.

Because for him, he still felt that his whole body was soaked in coffee, and the burnt aroma was rich and pleasant, but this seemed to be the culprit that caused Zhu Fujingguang's stomachache.

This was originally impossible. Pheromones are, after all, just biological information, not corresponding substances. Just like people who are allergic to alcohol will not be allergic to the pheromones of alcohol, Zhu Fujingguang should not have a stomachache after being temporarily marked by the coffee pheromone Jianggu Zero, just like drinking a lot of coffee on an empty stomach.

But other than this reason, Zhu Fujingguang could not find any other explanation. His physical fitness has always been good. Even if he can't be called an iron stomach, he rarely gets stomach upset when his diet is extremely irregular due to missions.

Zhu Fujingguang suddenly remembered that the first time he drank coffee was also because of Jiang Guling.

The blond boy who went to school during the day, worked part-time in the evening, and studied late at night once came to Morobushi Kagemitsu one day with two cups of steaming hot coffee in his hand. He said, "Hiro, the cafe where I work part-time taught me how to make coffee. Drinking it really gives me more energy to study. Hiro, come and try my skills!"

The cat-eyed boy drank it enthusiastically. Although he was not used to it after the first sip, he could not bear to dampen the enthusiasm of Xiao Xunran. Later, because of Furuya Rei's preference for coffee, he also drank a lot with him.

Now that I think about it, maybe some things were destined from the very beginning.

"If I could have been more ruthless at that time."

The warm memories of the past and what Jiang Guling said today gradually overlapped, which actually increased the pain in this situation.

The glands had been soothed and become docile, but the stomach began to protest. The radiating pain made his already tired body even more uncomfortable, and the constant churning in his stomach even made Zhu Fujingguang feel like retching.

The cold fingers touched his throat, where the warmth of Fūya Rei's lips seemed to still remain, but now they had to be used to suppress the urge to vomit.

He habitually reached for his phone on his chest, but of course he couldn't find it. Zhu Fujingguang then slowly searched for his shirt among the clothes scattered on the ground, but still couldn't find his phone.

Cat's Eyes blinked in confusion, finally finding the trace of his phone in his extremely vague memory today. It seemed that his phone had fallen into Rei Furuya's car while they were kissing, and no one had noticed or picked it up under the circumstances.

Among the two hellish-level options of "taking the car keys from Zero quietly" and "leaving the room without disturbing Zero and smashing the car window to take the phone", Zhu Fujingguang chose the third option "waiting until Zero wakes up and then returning to the car together".

Yes, wake up.

When he first opened his eyes, Morobushi Jingguang was momentarily surprised that Rei Furuya was still in the room, even sleeping next to him. But then he thought again, whether it was Rei Furuya's sense of responsibility or Bourbon's attitude towards Scotland, he couldn't bear to abandon an omega who had just passed its estrus period.

Perhaps it is because of the alpha's susceptible period. The alpha in the susceptible period will instinctively be unwilling to let the omega he has just temporarily marked leave his side.

——This was the conclusion that Morufuku Keimu added after he discovered that not long after he left the bed, Furuya Rei began to move restlessly towards the direction where Morufuku Keimu was originally lying, and when Morufuku Keimu lay back down, she hugged him in her arms and even buried her head in the side of his neck.

It is clearly the most intimate posture, but it is just based on biological instinct.

Zhu Fushigi Jingguang allowed himself to be held by Furuya Ling, even though the stronger smell of coffee would continue to aggravate the pain in his stomach, and even though he still felt cold in this warm embrace.

Because he understood that this would be the first time they were so close, and it would also be the last time they were so close.

After daybreak, both Zhufu Jingguang and Jiangu Ling could only maintain superficial peace with each other.

The sudden drop in favorability showed how much Fūya Rei hated his existence.

But Zhu Fu Jingguang was unwilling to face this hatred.

"sorry."

The apology sounded in Zhufu Jingguang's mind, startling 1207 who had been silent all the time.

"Why should I say sorry? It was obviously me... If I hadn't forced you..." 1207's voice was more suppressed than ever before, and when he said the second sentence, he even couldn't control his tears.

It sniffed, as if trying not to embarrass itself by crying. However, the words just now made it unable to control its emotions any longer. After holding back again and again, it finally broke down and cried: "If I hadn't forced you, your relationship with Furuya Rei wouldn't have plummeted so badly! And the organization is almost gone... Although you never mentioned this to me, I can actually see it... You really are dying."

Zhu Fu Jingguang burst out laughing.

He had originally assumed 1207 was crying because the mission was going to fail. Although it had never mentioned what would happen to it if the mission failed, he figured it wouldn't be a good thing.

But I didn't expect it to be worried about me.

Zhu Fu Jingguang apologized because he knew that 1207 could see that the mission was going to fail, but he didn't know that Zhu Fu Jingguang had already decided not to complete this strategy mission. Today's incident only completely exposed the trend of mission failure.

But even so, Zhu Fujingguang would not let 1207 know about this. The small system might indeed be kind and considerate of him, but it was not completely controllable, and this incident further proved this point.

So he could only apologize for this inevitable failure.

*

The burning stomach pain kept Zhufu Jingguang awake almost the entire night, but he didn't know when he fell asleep again.

When he woke up, he was the only one lying on the bed. A blond young man was sitting very close to him, looking at his mobile phone. The cold light of the screen illuminated his serious face.

When he found that Zhufu Jingguang had woken up, Jiang Gu Ling's posture remained unchanged, but his eyes moved slightly and did not look at Zhufu Jingguang.

The young man with cat eyes noticed this and knew that if the other party had not been hindered by his exploitation of Scotland and his last bit of sense of responsibility, he would have left long ago.

He has become the evidence of the other party's "betrayal" of his beloved.

From this moment on, they were destined to become strangers.

But the organization has not collapsed yet, Scotland's intelligence is still valuable to Rei Furutani, and Scotland's mysterious "rich family seeking a son-in-law" drama has not yet ended. Scotland and Bourbon cannot break up, at least on the surface.

So the hand still with red marks reached out to Fūya Rei's phone again, but this time he didn't knock it to the ground. Instead, he slowly and irresistibly pressed it down slightly, allowing the gaze hidden behind the phone to look directly at him.

The cat-eyed young man, still very tired, was sitting sideways on the edge of the bed, leaning weakly on the crimson pillow at the head of the bed. His inky black hair was rubbed away by the pillow, revealing the evocative curve of his eyes.

Making sure Furuya Rei's gaze was fully on him, Morobushi Jingguang gave a rare sweet smile, but his eyes held a completely inconsistent silence. He gestured with his hands and said, "Be it a superficial union or a rift, or sharing the same bed but different dreams, Scotland can't afford to lose face by falling out with the alpha who marked him the day after being marked, and Bourbon wouldn't want people to question his charm, right?"

Just like every time before, no matter what Bourbon did or said to Scotland, no matter how rude Scotland was, it would eventually remain loyal to him as always.

Noticing that there was no prefix to the word "mark" in the words, Furuya Rei's eyes moved, but Bourbon would never let go of anything that could be used, and anyone's sincerity was just a bargaining chip to him.

So it only took a blink of an eye for the purple-gray eyes to turn from clear and alluring. The blond young man put away his phone and leaned over to help the omega, whom he had just temporarily marked last night, get up from the bed.

Zhu Fujingguang avoided his hand.

The dark-skinned hand missed, and Jiang Gu Ling was stunned. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhu Fu Jingguang.

When their eyes met, Fūya Rei saw confusion in those blue cat eyes, as if even he himself had not expected that he would avoid such a simple physical contact.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and pain surged up from beneath her confusion, like tiny bubbles bursting on the surface of a lake. Then the cat-eyed young man even avoided his gaze.

Zhu Fujingguang didn't mean it.

His whole body was still enveloped in the smell of coffee, which was also the source of his pain. So when Fūya Rei reached out his hand to him, his body automatically avoided this pheromone out of a self-protection mechanism.

The two people who were so close yesterday can't even do the simplest touch now.

It turns out that something has changed.
